Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello and welcome to Distractible. I know you stayed up all night for the release of this episode. I know that it's midnight and or some equivalent early hour. You dedicated listener and or viewer. You, you win the special prize of being the very first person to ever listen to this episode. If you're listening to this two weeks late, our show has tanked. Our audience has left us. We are destitute. You are the first person to show up within two weeks. Oh my God. Help us please. Share this podcast. We're dying. We're losing ranks. Uh, we're, we're falling down, down, down the listing. Wade, you okay? Yeah, I was trying to imitate that football coach a couple of times. I was trying to imitate that football coach a couple of years ago who had the weird press conference where he was just like staring off at aliens the whole time. What a niche reference. I'm going to give you a niche reference point for that. Thank you. Yeah. Niche. Very, very nice. Niche. Very nice. I am Markiplier, the host of this episode whereby I define, I'm not interrupting you. Just go on. You're right. No, no. Just my eyes went, Oh, Pokemon pack. And I was like, Oh my God, man, that's, that's really something. I define what Pokemon pack is going to be about. But these two lovely gentlemen here are the only contestants we will ever have on this podcast, except when I'm not hosting. And then I will be one of those contestants. He's really adding our retention. This is climbing us the ranks. Yeah. Yeah. You talk. I'll do this. Oh my God. What are you going to get? The kids love this. Oh, pseudo wudo. Oh my God. Is that good? Is that a good one? Show me a full art. Show me a full art. Show Papa. Is that good? Oh, is that not? I guess. All right. I'm going to put my cards on the table. There's a bounty where you may rip a pack of any set of Pokemon cards. And if I got an EX or higher, I got points. I was really hoping that would have a banger in it. Well, damn, I don't know what that means. So I won't give you anything for that. That's not a bounty for you. It's not for you. These two gentlemen here have been living life to the fullest, and I can't wait to hear exactly what they've done in their full, full life to entertain us all here. Who wants to go first? Wade does. Oh, yeah. Wade, what have you been up to? Oh, man. So last week we we recorded. We did the lovely choose your own adventure. And then Bob and I got to flee quickly because we realized, what's that noise? Oh, my technology must be acting up. Oh, no, it's tornado sirens for both of us. That's weird. Right. And then we found out we had a derecho. I think is how is that how it's pronounced? A derecho hit us, which is just like a long, continuous line of storm. Derrico, I think. I don't know. I've heard it both ways. No, no, derecho might actually be it. I think I said Derrico once and people were like, it's pronounced Derrico. It's like, yeah, I do think that I. Is it not? Dear Ichio, dear dot Ichio. Probably that. But yeah, one of those hit. And that was fun because it was just crazy wind. We had up some different like news things, including there's a YouTuber named like Ryan Hall, y'all who does like weather reports. We had these different things. I'm trying to see what was going on and they didn't have tornado. Watches anywhere. But there were like 11 tornado warnings and each warning area was the size of like a county. Damn. So they're just like, if you live in these areas, tornado warning. And it's just all of Southern Ohio, South, Southeastern Indiana, Northern Kentucky. And it's like, that's all of us live watching the news. That's all of us. We're all in that question. Were they the similar size of the county or were they just issuing warnings based on counties? No. You know how they draw boxes when there's when there's tornadoes, they'll be like, here's a line and a box and it's moving this way. And they like draw on the map. Yeah. Yeah. They just had several boxes that were basically everywhere from Northern greater Cincinnati area down into Kentucky past the airport was just like box box. It looked like gerrymandering boxes because some of them weren't just like squares. Some of them was like, so we're like trapezoids and then it had like a tail go off. And it's like, why does this one have a thing that goes off and curls up? Like, like bricks and mini figs mustache. Like what is going on with these boxes? This is weird. Got them. That's quite a reference. That's good. That's good. But it was, it was very bizarre. Cause like I said, there was no watches. They were all straight to warnings because like, I guess the way the derecho was moving in the entire front of the storm had like spinning circulation. So everywhere was a potential for a tornado. I think only two ended up touching down as far as I know, one in like Southeastern Ohio and one in like Northern Kentucky somewhere. But like, Like, it was an intense 30 to 45 minutes of, like, tornado warning sirens for, like, five minutes, then silence. Back on. Silence. Like, it just kept going on and off for quite a while. And the wind and the rain were pretty intense, but ultimately it just ended up being a bad thunderstorm for us. But I had never seen where just everything was tornado warning. Because I think warning is the more severe one, so it's like, oh, that means it's, like, touchdown. But apparently that's not what that meant that day. It just meant that everything was strongly indicative of swirling winds and potential tornado or something. I don't know. I didn't fully get it. I mean, all of this is due to the Super El Nino that's brewing. The boy? Yes. Super the boy! Ah. Isn't Nino, like, son? My son? This is basically, I, has been confirmed that this is going, this year is going to be a rare Super El Nino. It's already done. It's, it's over. You know? It's, you know, like, in Drive when it cuts the guy's arm. He's just like, just don't worry about it. It's over. It's all over. There's no pain. There's going to be a lot of pain. Um, so Super El Nino is coming. The, the. Hawaii got hit by the first hurricane, like, ever. A really rare hurricane or something recently, didn't it? Like, that also never happens. Yep. Yeah. Many Pacific hurricanes are going to form out of this, which is not. Used to be a thing where it was like, oh, man, that barely never happens. Now there's going to, probably going to be several. Great. But yeah, that was, um, that was my entire week. Was that 25 minutes? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 25 minutes of waiting for the thunderstorm to pass. Nothing else happened. Nope. Not a thing. Not a thing. Not a thing. All right. Bob, he's stolen the derecho story, so that didn't happen to you. I was sort of fitting to talk about that, but that's okay. That's okay. Do you want to know, do you want to know what happened to me that I don't think I've talked about yet? No. So I'm not going to tell you exactly where we live, but we live down a road where it's like, if you go out of our neighborhood, go from our house to the X of the X, you're going to the neighborhood that's traditionally, and as there is, you could turn left or you could turn right. And if you turn left, you're like five minutes away from, there's a Kroger, there's shops and restaurants, there's civilization. And if you turn right, you essentially drive out into the farmlands. Kroger's a grocery store for those that don't live around here. Everyone knows Kroger's. Kroger's big time. Okay. Kroger's literally owns like every grocery store across the country. Anyway, sorry. It's true. They own like Ralphs. Ralphs and Harris Teeter. What about Guam? Does Kroger own Guam? I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Kroger in Guam, but I don't think they own the place. No, I don't think that's how that works. Ah, got you, Kroger. Found your weakness. Please continue. If you drive out towards the farmlands, you also have to go underneath a really awkward bridge where like there's two roads that cross under the bridge. So there's like blind turns. And anyway, it sucks. It's super dangerous. And there are stop signs, but people just blow through it at full speed because I don't give a shit. Cause they're idiots. Uh, anyway, the, so leaving our name. neighborhood the left turn where you're really close to all the cool stuff we wanted to live near when we picked this location to live uh there's a bridge that was damaged and they closed that whole section of road for the last four months so even though we live within like five minutes of a huge shopping center and all the you know whatever places we would want to go on a regular basis we actually then lived four times as far away from them because you had to go the wrong way out of the neighborhood and then loop way the hell around and it was like it felt like we lived in a different place for the last four months they finally finished it and in those four months they gave us a 15 foot long bridge for a two-lane road it's one of those things where i knew what it was going to be because i knew what it was before you , but like it finally opened and we were like oh my god they took the detour signs down can we go the other way and the first time i drove across it it was just like i fucking i had to drive off into the god knows where for a quarter or a third of a year almost for fucking for this just put some boards over it and let me go where i want like it's nice that that's open and now i have all the you know how you develop like driving habits now i keep going the wrong way because i'm like oh got a loop around never mind never mind let me back in god it's so infuriating to just drive over because it's literally less than 15 feet of it's like a bridge over a tiny little creek but it was they just it's fine and i'm glad that it's open because now i can do whatever i want but it literally felt like we lived like half an hour out in the country when we live in the suburbs we don't live that far from anything you just have to go the correct way to get to it i will say that other intersection you're gonna be nervous every time i'm like god hope someone's not going 90 miles an hour on this road as i turn and they do it was a whole thing because at the beginning of the closure i was like oh it's like an adventure oh we'll just go and it was that descent from like oh it's okay it'll only be a few months oh it's okay i'm getting kind of tired of it the last like three weeks until it opened both manny and i were just like i fucking hate this stupid fucking bridge i'm gonna buy a helicopter and land on the roof of the house and use a helicopter to get to the top of the hill and use a ladder to climb to like it's fine it's open now it's fine you're like samwise gamgee and lord of the rings you're like this is it if i go this way to the store be the furthest from home i've ever been and then like now you're like a thousand yard stare just fucking carrying frodo's corpse as you're like i just want to go kroger uh fuck mordor and this bullshit i must have watched a different lord of the rings i don't remember samwise becoming jaded smoking it just ever samwise the cigar and the army helmet you all right well that sounds uh problematic i'm very sorry about that not anymore now it's great is it controversial will i get killed if i say that i think that uh road construction in ohio and probably many other states is an absolute uh mob scam like when we were in college two decades ago almost there was construction on 75 you know all around the hopple street and the mitchell avenue exits it's the same it's literally the same fucking cones it was almost two full decades ago and like they finished parts of it like the hopple street exit got totally redone it's crazy it's all new but all the other shit is there's still it's down to two lanes on each side there's cones there's a one highway one you know when one side goes on to the other side because they're like scrunching in it it's the fucking same i it's it's literally a scam it's some kind of crazy mob front or some shit because it doesn't make any sense and there's that kind of shit everywhere in cincinnati there's a spot on 275 north where they finally added like a fourth lane for traffic during a really busy section it is always closed i even in standstill i have never seen it anyone allowed to use this mysterious lane that they built wait i know that part i know that part i know that yeah it's never been accessible it's always like nope not allowed to go in this lane it's just it's just a lane they built so that they could have a lane closed and meet their contract requirements without actually having to close one of the three lanes they let people nobody's allowed in it no matter the circumstance i don't get it i was back at home and also i was just like i was uh going to the airport my mom was driving me and i was like on 75 and i was like it looks so familiar it's like i never left wow there's the same construction here in this stretch they're on the radio traffic's backed up from mitchell to paddock on 75 south and it is funny i've never seen anyone ever work on it i've seen trucks i've seen trucks i've seen the equipment there's a bunch of shit parked everywhere parked everywhere never anyone work you walk up and it's actually the same cars from 20 years ago they've just been there it is it is crazy and i know we've all seen like videos of some bridge uh like an overpass thing collapsed somewhere there was a problem with it in in either america or some other country probably some other country and they fix it overnight one night it's just like you see them close the one side of the highway then they build it all back up in the other side and even i'm like i didn't know concrete could harden that fast i'm like wow that seems like pretty quick uh but even though they get it all it's done like totally new what the fuck even happened there was a fire uh under one of the big bridges that crosses the ground or something random burned and uh it caused damage to the bridge i feel like they fixed that bridge pretty damn quick considering like apparently the fire got hot enough to like melt something in the support like it was apparently pretty serious but like yeah i feel like that was like a month or two and they're like yeah that's fixed and then other areas like you're saying like two decades of like hmm this pothole might be bigger than the road itself but we can't be bothered to take care of this right now it's a conspiracy man much like with the lax uh people mover that they've been working on for fucking forever and they're like yeah that's fixed and then they're like yeah that's and uh just absolutely has been every year it's like another it was supposed to be july this year moved it to december and it's just like it's just it's 99 done they've been saying it's 99 done for years and it's just not done anyway all of this thing i see it at the airport i see it going like wow look at that it looks so nice so pretty oh wow that'd be it goes right up the top there drop it oh oh look at it go not ready just not ready guys i think maybe the people that were driving i just got riders block not giving you a point for that why do i even bother like complaining is that complaining is there points for complaining no there's no points for complaining then yes or wait this episode of distractible is brought to you by strada strada is a solution for your cloud storage companies like dropbox icloud google drive and frame io always run out of space and over the years that you've had them they never get cheaper even though technology advances somehow a terabyte on these cloud storage servers still costs the same or bizarrely cost more one a second uh sorry i hate to interrupt you i'll be right back i gotta go reset the editing pc so dana can keep editing one moment uh well that's a bizarre that's a bizarre workflow it sounds like he's not using strata you can use your local nas as remote storage but your editor can just stream the files that they need and access the files they need from your computer as if it's a hard drive oh we just have a pc set up here that i have to go manually interact with so that my editor who lives in florida can remote desktop in to then access my external storage which is connected to this computer it's a it's a lot it always works super smooth especially if we're not here and i don't have a computer so i don't have a computer so i don't have a computer so i don't have a computer okay all right so imagine your nas existed as a folder you know on that computer that folder from your nest can be a folder on their desktop with strata and then they can stream the files that they need to edit with on their own computer in their own editing software and they're lightweight easy to easy to work with and they can even render from those files because it'll stream the frames they need from the raw files as needed so i would not need a second computer here for her she could just use her computer wait wait though i spot you i spotted the catch i spotted this is where they always get you so when it runs out of storage space how much do they charge you to expand them they don't have cloud storage it's not cloud storage it's your storage so when your storage runs out add more storage god that would have for 10 years i needed this wait wait wait no okay so this is one of those things where it only works on like mac right it sounds great and it's this great salute but then it's like oh but i'm a pc so i can't no both yeah it works on both yeah it has automatic file like organizations for the different volume structure and you can still access from a mac straight to your desktop you have to you have to in da vinci go like you know the exchange the command lines for things but that's just for the editing software part if in the strata software you can interact seamlessly in between both and it starts at just eight dollars a month per editor how much are you playing for your cloud storage per editor i wish it was anything like eight dollars a month i could tell you that there's a pc the pc that sits here that does the editing alone it would decades it would last for eight dollars a month decades that was cheaper than one computer after a place every few years you can

change it and just beep it i want to call it originally it was oh god sam please oh sam i did it in the blood i can't ever hear him again that's that's sam blow up his head i want you guys to use the other senses besides sight to describe things to the other player who will be guessing what that is now we can we have touch taste smell and sound if we don't have sight you could use no exception i guess if you really think that'll i don't think it'll help you in your i know about his arc i don't know about exception that's okay that's funny now that's funny thanks thanks he did the thing now that's funny i don't know if that takes away a point i can't remember what that does no if you if you laugh at what i say i think i should get a point what the fuck for the those that don't know does any of you know what no exception is are you talking about proprioception yeah yeah wait sorry proprioception yeah where you're like aware of the position of your body parts in space sort of thing that's what it is yeah yeah proprio not no except what is no exception then i don't know is that a real thing i just i hadn't heard it i was like well he said it so confidently i assume it's a thing i think it's a movie with leonardo dicaprio okay no cisseption is the nervous system's physical process of detecting and encoding harmful or potentially damaging stimuli so that's like the pain sense of pain is that another sense or is that part of the touch i mean that's that's sort of part of touch i think that's part of your like physical contact nervous system i don't know yeah but proprioception is typically regarded as the sixth sense of knowing where your limbs are in position around you you have a sense of where they where it's spatial you can't do this without proprioception not hitting my head not hitting my head not hitting my head i'm not touching me i'm not touching me i'm not touching me right right yeah i think so who's not hitting you who's not hitting you everyone i i we're we're generally saying we can't use that if you could if there's something in here where you could i'll i'll give you a bonus point for it but i'm pretty sure you can't we're gonna take turns uh someone will go through and how it works is you have four senses to describe something with i'm debating whether you can start whether it's a standard order where it's like starts with touch taste smell or sound or i could give it to you where you can choose which one you would describe it and maybe that's advantageous because the less senses you use the more points you're gonna get if you can only use one and they can guess it with that one then you get four points right i like that i like that it's it's our pick but you lose points the more you have to the more you have to or for each sense you have to resort i like that i think that makes sense if it wasn't so annoying to edit i'd be like what if we use a wheel to determine the first sense we have to give i i had debated that as well i thought about random assignment that's fun but also that would suck sam make a wheel make me a wheel if you guys think it's better if it's random what you have to start with i will lean towards it i think it's funnier i don't know if it's better you could just find a picker like an online random picker thing and then just let sam worry about the rules don't lie all right sight sight sight sight no sight this is something i'm gonna be looking out for you cannot make any description with sight so color what it looks like in any way shape or form any any description that would you really feels like purple bob yeah it feels very blue yeah yeah i know i get that i get that yeah all right so you can't do that but you can do touch taste smell sound um and we're gonna try this with the wheel to see if this works out i think it could be fun um so i'm going to message you uh well let's determine who's gonna go first heads bob tails wade if we're gonna switch it up a little bit come on universe i don't even know which one i want that's heads for bob i think yeah that's what she said bob you're gonna go first i'm going to give you and i again with most of these things back and forth i'm trying to pair them up so that what i think is the predominant sense would help the most i'll match them up the randomness might make that not work so well but there when we do one and we'll stick to the one all the way through and then we go to the other person the matchups are kind of similar ish maybe we'll see we'll see this is your first thing you're trying to describe to wade and i'm spinning the wheel of what sense you have to use first is proprioception on the wheel just to be clear i'm not putting it on the wheel i feel like don't can i can we make that where it's like if you choose that and you do that first and you get it it's like a bonus yeah you know what if if if you if you can get it so your first one is taste you can always use proprioception if you want to use it and you'll get a bonus point so if he if he guesses this on that on taste you'll get up to four points because you that was your first sense every sense you have to use after that is one less point if you don't get if he doesn't get it at all you get no points if you don't get it at all you get no points if you don't get it at all you get if he guesses it to incentivize him guessing well he gets a point so when and if he gets it he will get a point i am going to especially because i got taste i am going to start with proprioception okay can i describe that we're starting from a certain position yeah we're we're i'll i'll allow it and i'll make rules to like against things if it's too much you are standing you feel like your whole body is kind of going up and forward and you're standing you're standing you're standing and you feel like your arm which is outstretched is moving at a different speed than the rest of your body but moving in the exact same direction up and forward okay so you're standing and you feel like your body is moving all together up and forward at a consistent pace but your arm which is outstretched feels like it's moving in the exact same direction but probably at a slightly faster speed than the rest of your body so it's kind of like being pulled from out to the side to more like out in front and to the side of you as you're experiencing the sensation do i know if we're describing nouns or actions or like how specific are the things i'm looking for this is a thing standing body's moving forward both up and forward diagonally up my arm moving diagonally up a little bit faster after an amount of time no more no more you gave your description okay you gave it you gave it okay so now i've got to make a guess yeah yeah you gotta guess what feels like that proprioceptively you didn't describe me going through any kind of like i'm just going up and forward so i'm just gonna say lying that's not a thing that's an action you failed with proprioception okay do i now have to use taste i think that's how the rules go right i will say uh that that is that is such that that was more powerful than i thought it was i am adding proprioception to the wheel from now on because i feel like it should be well this this would this thing in particular like that was a really that's such a specific to this thing experience you'll get it what you'll get it once you know you'll get it once you know i'm gonna feel really dumb when i don't so now you i also yeah because otherwise i'd have to make it risk reward and and but i i appreciate the boldness of that one we'll give that a freebie and i'll we'll see how it goes here but now you have to describe it with taste this is a thing and we're assuming that you are tasting this thing you taste one part of it and it tastes kind of like rubbery in a filthy unpleasant way and if you taste uh sort of the other main part of it there's another there's another thing to taste it tastes metallic but like greasy like oily right uh roller coaster roller coaster roller coaster roller coaster no it is not a roller coaster you have to also remember the other description i gave that's i was putting that in there i was like ah up and forward i don't know what your arms doing on roller coasters but i have some questions well people throw their arms up so i was like oh maybe it's the sensation of like putting your arms up before you that was that was good that was good all right okay that was that was a decent guess that was a totally fine guess i'm not mad about that i'm gonna i'm gonna spin the wheel for what your next sense is because as soon as you i was like what if the other part's metallic i'm going up like a roller coaster then my arm goes up a little bit faster it's like now i see i see the thought process all right your next sense is touch so i'll describe the same two parts that you tasted from the taste one the part that tasted sort of rubbery when you touch that it definitely feels rubbery and it feels kind of like grimy but not in like a way where you're pulling bits off but kind of just like when you take your hand off you're like okay and then if you touch the other part that you tasted that tasted metallic and oily you feel some very distinct grooves it definitely feels like something hard it could be metal and you feel almost an iconic pattern of grooves on this part of this thing unmistakable pretty much for anything else in the world you definitely know what this is because you feel this and you're like oh obviously oh man i feel like i've given pretty good figs here you have i think you are my brain is just not you you know how like whenever you you fixate on something and you can't get your brain off of that thing it's really hard to remove myself from like flight or a roller coaster so i'm trying to like remove myself from those ideas but like that's all i'm picturing so i'm just trying to think okay different different design if i remove the image from my mind there's yeah no image well that's for him i think i can picture things right i just can't you can't describe what i see it might help if you close your eyes maybe you'll start to see something when you combine all these things you're thinking about maybe maybe you gave me whatever popeye's description you gave me the i think he means proprioception that's the one yes but even if you didn't intend this i'm trying to focus on one part that's rubbery not multiple parts that are rubbery so part that's rubbery part that's metallic distinct ridges and those ridges leave me feeling grimy how kind of grimy and oily big talk on the clock yeah i know just the all combining all of this is more confusing than just focusing on one of them i'm like no it doesn't work with the first part i'm going to give you i must give you 15 seconds oh no don't do that now now i'm panicking uh no hold on stop i don't need this guess of the goddamn unicycle what the fuck oh he made me guess to your credit bob i think you really have given good suggestions can i get a different partner for this project nope no it's just okay he made me panic you made me panic people are crashing so many cars right now because this they know what it is already and they're waiting for you to get it well i'm not good at this so i'm doing my best well you got two senses left and the next one is gonna be smell and no no reminding on any of the other ones okay no reminding no remindies i'm gonna describe the smell that you would smell when using this thing you smell bourbon chicken you smell soft pretzels you smell uh candy you smell uh the body odor of a person standing kind of close to you you smell maybe cleaning solution while you're using this thing well i'm so off base of where i'm at okay paint a picture in your mind of all these smells where do you smell those smells all together you can do it i need to set tyrus because this is only the first one it's been like 15 minutes i gotta yeah well listen it's this is hard okay man i'm gonna give you 30 seconds to think about that one okay well i'm picturing you're at like a theme park or a carnival bourbon chicken those hey where do you smell bourbon chicken that's an interesting one to focus on i was thinking like the turkey legs but like a bourbon chicken like this i don't know uh a lot of cooking a lot of cooking things involved in this 10 seconds uh they're not a grill but five uh no stop hold on guess grill i don't know man i love those moving grills you ride i know it's not a grill but it's only when i was working my way through these i'm not good at the timer the timer me up just don't think about the timer just let mark think about the timer you're good oh he said i had to guess so i just wrote the word i was thinking about that moment i'm working my way through you do gotta guess i felt like 30 seconds was a pretty rich amount of time to guess well for me i need 20 minutes what's the last sense is it hearing it's yeah it is sound it is sound this is your last chance to get a single point out of this i'm sorry bob i'm sorry i'm the worst partner ever when you ride this thing you hear the laughter of children you hear metallic clunking and clanking inside a kind of a slow pace you hear music at a relatively low volume just sort of in the background of this uh when you're on this thing you hear the sound of bourbon chicken cooking you know you love that sound you know that sound you may also hear the ding of an elevator door opening i know you can do it i believe in you that was a warning bob that was a warning but i know i knew i was pushing it but come on come on oh no come on you got this piece it together make it make your last cogent guess i believe in you okay i'm gonna talk through i'm allowed to talk through the things he's not allowed to tell me again i'm allowed to talk through them right yeah well you got you got your time already started by the way i just hope you know oh arm grooves familiar grooves smell of bourbon chicken i'm so sorry you have to guess now i set that timer when he was done describing i don't want a carousel oh my god i'm so sorry whoa do you want to reveal it or do you want i the elevator the elev i was trying to throw us in the elevator man i was trying but i didn't get there it's the other kind of elevator also called an escalator in a mall where you might smell bourbon chicken literally the only place on earth i've ever seen such a dish exist i was lost at the theme park oh the proprioception one that's you know that feeling when you get on the escalator and you're like oh the hand thing is so much faster than and you gotta keep moving okay i don't know that one as well because i don't ever touch those because i i feel it grossed me out so i never touched the handrails that is incredible i'm sorry bob you did a really good job in hindsight i just wasn't there i couldn't bring myself there yeah i thought the proprioception was going to get it right away it was almost like oh my god i can't let them do proprioception because that's going to get it immediately because it's so oh hi i'm one of your contestants so that is zero points for both of you but it was very entertaining it was incredibly entertaining let's hope i'm better at describing than guessing yeah my only comfort is that i'm maybe a qualified guesser but i have to use whatever you tell me to make my guesses so we'll see how this end goes this might be the first zero to zero episode in history all right so this was educational for me as well i'm actually going to take proprioception off the menu just because i feel like you know it it throws things off it's such a nice granularity with the four senses you know that it is it could be powerful it could not be powerful and i don't even know if the feeling of going up is part of it but i feel like it could be but who knows we're just gonna keep it to the four senses besides sight all right what's mine or wait don't say it out loud i wasn't gonna i'll cover my ears should i just go home for this i am home should i just go away for this episode so we we keep it to the exact sense only that you're describing you can't go back and remind things and definitely don't base things off of previous you know senses in that sense only don't mention associated other things beside you have to keep your description to the thing that is being described like the elevator that was the examples like the the ding of an elevator i'd be like that's a sound not pertaining to the thing so the sense that you're currently doing has to be to the thing would you say the smells that i did were okay because that's not how the escalator smells but like that's absolutely what you would smell on a lot of escalators and it's a i i would say oh i guess actually you're right if that is because i was describing stuff that was not the escalator but you don't really smell an escalator so i wasn't sure how to approach that i think i think if i'm have to be adherence to the rules it has to be smells that are only to the device because now i think yeah the chicken okay that that probably would be outside so it has to be that's why i went to like grill and stuff because i was also like oh okay i'm smelling the things that are cooked on it it's going to be difficult using the senses but that's part of the point so okay so the answer to my question then is no i sent you a question i'm assuming the answer that's just no oh yeah that's that's a tough question right but like i think i think based on your answer it's no because of bob had this chance in his round to do it i will only apply the rule of that for this particular thing you asked me to the next one we'll because we'll keep it so that the the kind of exploratory advantages that bob had in this one i'll give you this but you asked all right i'm spinning the wheel of senses and your first sense is smell all right so sometimes there's the light smell of gasoline but more often than not various colognes perfumes deodorants body odors kind of permeate and maybe the smell of maybe leather um you can get leather a leathery smell from it probably i'm trying to think of the word for a smell like musty is the wrong word but tangential to musty okay and 30 seconds to guess and go i feel like a lot of these wore down a certain pathway musty or whatever that's related to throws me off a little bit but i still yeah that's fair is this i can't ask questions we're still doing things right this is a thing it's still thing it's still thing all these are things is is it i don't know if this is specific enough is it cologne no colognes and perfumes were one of the descriptors i used not cologne all right that's smell is down next sound there's a sound of air flowing people chatting murmuring a very loud humming noise uh that's pretty constant i guess the occasional sound of footsteps the main sound the constant is the the loud humming okay and guessing now ah this is just not a thing i feel like it's what i'm stuck on in terms of a guess uh wait constant humming 10 seconds is this a train no it is not a train i don't want to i don't think i can make commentary on your guess nope all right neck you're down to two senses the next one is going to be taste oh man based on the question i asked you i'm almost afraid to give that but if you taste the outside of this thing oh man how do i describe this without giving too much um i don't know if it's metallic uh probably taste metallic and like a bunch of bugs uh if you taste around the inside of this thing again a lot of taste of leather some glass and i don't know what the taste of glass is but like the something it's a thing i don't know why you would ever have this and do this with but if you have like an old toy and you lick an old plastic toy there's like that sensation of that taste hitting your tongue there can be good tastes like cookies i feel like i know what it is but i feel like it's gonna be wrong if you think i i feel like that was a lot i want to give more but i feel like that was already a lot so i'll stop there all right okay all right and guess the one thing that started me off from this guess is that it occasionally smells like gasoline because the thing that i want to guess sort of definitely doesn't do that and there's another thing that does do that but then the leather taste doesn't make any sense you might have a different experience than i mean if you feel like you know it's i want to say airplane that is it congratulations oh god so i'm trying to think like not just on what airplane have you been on that smells like gas not when you're on but i was trying to think like okay when you're outside they're filling it with gas there is that smell like if you ever boarded or de-planed like from outside sometimes you'll smell them fueling it i've never like noticed that maybe i'm just not sensitive to it but i like the smell of gas so i remember smelling it when they did that because i was thinking the smell of gas made me think bus i figured if i got you once i got you to train i was like okay planes trains on we're on the right course i was gonna be so specific i was like oh like biscoff cookies is what you taste i was like that's too that's too much yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no that was that was really good guys that was the easy one oh good i thought i thought that was gonna be uh easy so i do think planes easier than escalator to gas possibly i don't know i'm glad i got to describe that yeah that's why i took proprioception because like you're going up and back you feel yourself i'm like ah you know maybe proprioception for the you feel like your body leans back as if under high acceleration as it goes up i would apply that to touch so there's certain things proprioception that i'm like okay touch might might apply to this however i'm going to be more strict about taste of glass i'm like ah that's that's a little you know i metallic has a specific taste i can i can get behind that but then taste of glass i don't think glass is much taste you taste the things on the glass and then cookies it's not part of the plane so from here on out yeah that's why that's why i messaged you about that one specifically yeah yeah exactly so from here on out it has to be specific to the item in question oh i'm sorry in advance bob i'm gonna do my best this is gonna be fine i just have to guess the taste of a y chromosome that's it y chromosome all right i can't do that one there's no way you'd ever get that it tastes like college it tastes like a college experiment one that would make the old kings very happy because it's a boy bob i'm giving you yours and also i'm gonna keep the description to a minute so that the description has to be in a minute and then guessing has to be in 30 seconds we're in trouble bob bob you have yours i'm spinning the wheel for the first sense oh right okay and the first sense is going to be taste oh three two one go oh it has a very faint taste it tastes vaguely of petroleum chemicals and that's about it you you you do you do taste this thing on occasion because of the way that it is used is a thing but almost never will you taste the taste because it has such a subtle taste flavor all right we'll call that all right and guess we're going to do the same thing we're going to do the same thing that we do all right and guess we're going to do the same thing we're going to do the same thing we're going to do three two one go a plastic spork i'm not saying anything about that answer sorry that's wrong that's wrong no colin all right i'll start deducting parts okay okay okay i don't have any so you can't take any well i got one i guess yeah all right and next up is touch and go bad touch feels i i honestly i it feels smooth when you touch it but in a way that's just it's bad it's a bad smooth it's terrible it's possibly the worst kind of smooth it could be just you know you don't i would never god the only thing i feel that way about styrofoam ding ding ding ding yes that's it with three points bob what a good description bad touch i was like oh plasticky petroleumy smooth styrofoam it is good i think yeah i could i i don't know if i'd call it petroleum product taste but hey you know i think it's got a little bit of that you know it's got that yeah i i guess i don't actually know that i just assumed it was oh because you do put like styrofoam cups to your mouth i was like when do you put styrofoam in your mouth oh yeah that oh you if you if you don't mind styrofoam you use styrofoam a lot for eating and drinking so you do have it in your mouth quite a bit it's true yeah a lot of takeout containers are styrofoam so i get that and yeah now the the the clue giver cannot react to the guessers yeah yeah yeah i see i know what i did there this says yes styrofoam is made from petroleum it's a synthetic plastic created from liquid hydrocarbon called styrene which is a byproduct of crude oil and natural gas refining it definitely is yes but whether whether or not you could taste that yeah i'll allow it i'll allow it oh you definitely taste it you definitely taste it okay wade i'm sending you yours wait hold on i got a question okay yeah yeah what's that yeah what's up yeah i know yeah you cannot okay great yeah uh-huh so your first sense your first sense is taste and go oh man it tastes pleasant um oh god it's all the you mark it's um uh mild it tastes like like you want something else to go with it like it's like it's insufficient on its own tastes good it's good god that's so you know you know bob you know what i mean all right i guess that's good there bob start guessing it tastes pleasant tastes mild tastes like you want other flavors to go with it but it tastes good uh-huh i know what this is yeah i can taste it barely i think this is whipped cream ah damn nope sorry that is not it all right okay okay next sense oh please give me the sense i want no no i don't know what's up to the wheel it's up to the wheel smell and go man what a what a set to describe without using describer words um it smells like such a good mold such a good mold i think um it smells like oh god i think it has a strong scent i have a really terrible sense of smell so this is kind of a harder one for me to do a lot of the smells overlap with the taste but i think the smell 15 seconds i think i think it has a strong smell all right there's there's specific reasons why i can't give you a lot bob I wish I could. All right, and guessing. Okay. This thing has a very pleasant but mild taste that you want to put other stuff with it. And while it tastes mild, it has a strong smell. Yeah. Ten seconds. Is it some kind of cheese? What kind? Well, if it has a strong smell, it must be blue cheese. Nope. Not that. Unfortunately. So you got touch and sound left. I hope you get sound. God damn it. Yeah, you got sound. All right. All right. What does this cheese sound like, Wade? I think you got a chance here. I think you got a chance. Okay. If you flick it, the sound would not fully resonate. It would dissipate quicker. I know what it is. Please, God, help me. Do you have more descriptors or shall I guess? Oh, if you throw it. Coca-Cola. For the big. For the small. The short. And the tall. Peacemakers. Risk takers. For the optimists. Pessimists. For old friends. And new. Coca-Cola. For everyone. It hits the ground. It sounds like cheese. All right. Yes, I know what this is. I know what this is. Sure, sure, sure. If you bite into it, it makes the sound of biting into cheese. Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, I know. I know this. I know what this is. It was really the last one about the biting into the cheese that got me there. Is it brie? Oh, no. God damn it. Oh, fuck. Give me the one sense I wanted most. All right. It's touch. It's touch. Oh, man. Bob, you feel this thing. And it's a nice square shape. And then as you're feeling the flatter side, you can feel ridges as your fingers go right through it in parts. Your description was just wrong, though. Okay. Your description was backward. It's Swiss cheese. It's Swiss cheese. It's Swiss cheese. Wouldn't the sound go bad? Which description was bad? I wanted to give Swiss cheese because I knew that specifically that had identifiable features to it. You said that it had a mild taste and a strong smell. I don't eat a lot of Swiss. I would describe most Swiss cheese as having a super mild smell, but a really sharp, tangy taste because of the, because of the, so I was thinking of like brie and stuff because that's so mild. See, when I think of the sharp, like cheddar to me as like, and some of the other cheeses are crazy. I don't smell cheese as well as other people. So like, I don't, I don't smell Swiss that much. I was also thinking sound where it could be, if you hold it up to your hips and go, you'll hear like a. I would have accepted that. I was like, just please God, give me touch first. Give me touch first. Oh man. You. Yeah. No, I swear to God. I spun the wheel and that was it. How to describe the taste of cheese without using the word cheese was hangy, creamy, nutty, dry. I don't have those descriptors for cheese. I have, it tastes like cheese. What color cheese does it taste like? What you're tasting. It's something that's not American, Bob. It doesn't taste American at all. It tastes like foreign cheese. It tastes like it would be neutral in a war, Bob. Oh, that would have been such a sick one though. Cause you'd be like, ah, it's a very neutral taste. Yeah. It's very mild. Very neutral. Very pacifist taste. Feels neutral to the touch. But rich like, man, you would love to bank there. So I got to cheese really fast. Just not the correct one. Yeah. Yeah. That was. That was, that was my bad for giving like something with a specificity like that, but very well done. That was really funny because, and the wheel punished me accordingly. Unfortunately, I don't think we have enough time because if we did do another, we'd have to do a back and forth. So I don't think we have time for two more. Speed round. No, you guys won't. You guys would not. I know you guys. We got through three rounds in half an hour. That's not great. Four. We did do four rounds. So we did four rounds in half an hour. Yeah. Cause if Bob went first, then you, and then Bob and you. Yeah. So that was four. Cause you, it started with escalator, then airplane, then styrofoam, then Swiss cheese. So yeah, we did four. Well done guys. I'm going to call it there. Uh, I actually have to count the points cause I don't know. Wade, you're first. You had that niche reference points. You got DeRay Cho, Noah's ception. That's funny. You got two points for having two senses left on airplane. You got one point for guessing styrofoam and you got Swiss cheese on the very last one. So it gives you seven points. Bob, 15 foot bridge, I 75 construction. You went first airplane. You got the guests there. Bad touch. Very funny. You got three points for styrofoam and then one point for guessing Swiss cheese. That gives you nine points to Wade's seven. All right. Incoming golf rules. I like this theme of Wade ending episodes being down by two. Oh, not that you should use this now, Bob, but don't you have to do points for your downtime at some point? Oh, I forgot to do that. And the one I just hosted, it didn't matter. It would have, it wouldn't have helped you, but you don't know that mathematically. I feel like I do. Wade, you're down two points. So there's still a chance. Hasn't stopped me before, except for the times it has come on one spin. Never count me out. We're going to count you out as well. All right. He got what he wanted. Come on. Golf rules. No chance. We each get one thing we ask for. How about. How about, uh, use the most senses in an episode. We're going to land on that. It's going to be, or as we call in this show, a re-spin spot. I smelled my armpit. I tasted a drink. I watched this and I listened to you guys. I did it. One spin, baby. Give me golf rules or host wins, which I prefer the golf rules. By the way, it's funny. Softest boy this episode. Well, I've not been hard at all. I don't remember what that means. I gotta be honest. I don't remember or fully understand what exactly that means. No clue. All right. Respin. Okay. Put SOS. Wow. We got this last time. Put significant onto the most bullshit. Guess what, guys? I still did that. That's true. Yeah. The, the, the, the desk. So if it was Wade, it still has to be Wade. That's true. In the last 20 minutes, what have you all done to your SOS? All right. One time. Time's for SO bullshit. Oh, but I actually, I did more to my SO between episodes because, uh, she got caught outside during a delivery that I forgot to tell her about with the dogs who almost ran into a car. Oopsies. Okay. Well, that's not good. I put her through more bullshit. All right. Well, that puts you up one more point, Wade, but unfortunately, Bob still has a commanding lead. Well, not very commanding, but commanding enough of one more point. Nine to eight. Bob takes the episode. Congratulations, Bob. Yeah. I take the episode. Yeah, I do. Yeah, that was a fun episode. I know, uh, I'm not very good at guessing, but it is fun. It's especially fun to be on the describing side and see where someone's brain is going. The pressure is really all on the guess today. Like the description is like, I want to make sure I get it right. But all of the pressure I felt like was on my guessing side, but it was very fun. I would love to continue and do more of that. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Uh, Bob, I liked all of it and I liked the balance that Mark installed into the game where the guesser could not just steal points by doing it on purpose. I don't think you did it on purpose, but it was very balanced. It felt very fair. I was rewarded heavily for my, my middle one there or my second one being so, or was it my first one? That was my second one being so quick and effective. That one, that one worked out great and it feels good to win. And the next time I'll totally remember to do that bounty thing that I was supposed to have already done. Definitely. Well, thank you all. Thank you. Also for participating. That was fun. We, we worked out a few more of the rules to make it a bit better. I think next time. Yeah, I can do specific time for descriptions and specific time for guessing. We can get more structure there, but I think we all got that and I'll get better match ups for future things if we do a sequel. But yeah, that was fun. I mean, it's hard to do perfect, but I thought those were fairly, those were fairly fair. Actually. Hey, it was just hard. Yeah. I had, uh, which I might use in the future. I had laser in here and I'm like, cause I was like, I wonder if I could do that. I got to do a really tough one. It doesn't have any. Wait for, for sound. Do I have to describe it or can I just make it? You can make it. Yeah. You could definitely make the sounds. But thank you everybody so much for watching and or listening. Hope you enjoyed it. If you were infuriated because you knew what it was, uh, sorry, I guess. But if you were also like, oh, it's so obviously. And then you were guessing the wrong thing. Ha ha. It's not as easy as it looks. Right. Maybe either way. Thank you everybody so much at home for, uh, listening. Uh, be sure to follow the podcast for more. episodes. We have merch occasionally.
