In short

Distractable “Anything Goes (Part 4)”—a freewheeling mix of gross internet trends, personal health/medical bureaucracy stories, and newsy oddities (AI shutdowns, delivery robots, bizarre wildlife/climate claims, and strange real-world events), plus a game-like “points” segment.

Guests

No traditional guests. The episode features the regular hosts: Bill Simmons (intro sponsor voice), plus Distractable hosts Wade and Bob (and their editors referenced). The “audience” is listeners, not guests.

Key claims

  1. A “fart maxing” TikTok trend involves extreme diets to maximize gas volume.
  2. A man spraying dog medicine on his hands claims it toughens pads, leading to extreme static charge.
  3. A Sora text-to-video service is shutting down due to massive compute costs (~$15M/day) and business/IPO pressures.
  4. Delivery robots have enough torque to smash bus shelters and can be dangerous in crosswalks.
  5. King penguins’ breeding success reportedly increased ~40% due to warming temperatures, and the hosts jokingly blame penguins for global warming.
  6. A mayoral candidate in Johannesburg snorkeled in a long-running water leak pool as a campaign stunt.

Notable examples

  • Heart-monitor mix-up at a hospital (wrong patient/room), chest palpitations returning briefly after stress.
  • “AI Diz Hub” joke about Disney IP and inappropriate first outputs.
  • Wife-carrying race in Dorking, Surrey (England) with a fast winning time (~1:45).

Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hi, welcome to Distractable, the show where you're going to laugh and laugh and laugh because of these two funny gentlemen right here and sometimes me. This one's named Bob. No, I guess this one's named Wade and that one's named Bob. Very funny. Eh? Yeah, yeah. And don't forget about our editors. Editors, make them laugh. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.

2:52Ah, fart noises never get old. good one boys good one good one good one it was okay over here judging farts who are you to judge farts are you the host seriously are you the host who's hosting i don't know that is a good name for an episode we judge each other's farts that's such a good name god brings me back to the fart genie there's no other level to it either it's just judging each other's farts that's a tough one i think that one has to have homework right i feel like you have to record every fart you do for like a week or a month or something and then we we bring them in so we can talk about it that's a tough one but i feel like that'd be worth it have you seen the tiktok about the guy who's trying to fart max no what's he like eating beans and stuff like oh man he was eating so much more than beans what does it mean to fart max is that a phrase he oh well the video is like he's like and now welcome to episode 39 of fart maxing i've got some super kimchi here along with some fiber and some pickle juice and some some high starch beans for maximum volume and oh extra fart beans yeah and then he got some spicy peppers in there i was like i think this is going to be the greatest concoction i've ever had and it just turns to him on the toilet being like i am in the most pain i've ever been in my life fart max failed i'll get him next time boys i'd hate that yeah i'm glad my algorithm didn't think that i was super into that because i only saw two of his videos well now that we've mentioned it definitely will show up that sounds like a much funnier version of the have you seen the day 300 of spraying dog medicine on my hands until i can punch through brick walls guy forgot about that yeah what happened to him is he's like still going he's over a year it's awful literally he does it and his hands sound like they're made of god i don't even know somehow glass or something that's horrific why would you want that he reached the point where his hands are so calloused that like they give off they have like constant static charge so if he just holds his hand near rice he can like levitate rice because his hands are so fucking his hands just like are infinitely statically charged because he's just fucking shoving them in buckets of rice 24-7 oh man that's really funny wait you need to spend either way more or way less time on the internet you're not seeing the right stuff I think the answer's more to see that but I'm gonna go with less because I don't know that I want to There's nothing wrong.

5:13Look, it's concerning because I wouldn't want it. And I don't know who's ever going to let that man touch them in the rest of his life. But it's fascinating that this guy is so dead set on having literal hands of steel. He could beat Superman in a hand toughness competition, presumably. Oddly specific. A bunch of nerds just raced into the comment section to tell me how stupid that was. But I bet he could do it. I bet he could do it. I bet he could. I mean, he's obviously gaining superpowers right now. Just hands. Nothing beyond hands. The rest of him is totally normal. But his hands, you don't want to let him touch you.

5:48You don't want to let him get a hold of you. What is in the dog medicine? That's what makes me confused. So I don't know what it's made of, but it's for dogs who have like, I don't know if it's damage to their pads of their feet. It's stuff to toughen up the pads of their feet, right? Oh, for the pat right. That makes more sense. You spray it on dogs feet if they have like a wound on their pad or if they have like soft pads and they need to be tougher for walking outside or whatever like right right okay it's it's for that so it's literally for like toughening skin i have no fucking idea what it's made of why does he just wear gloves because then his hands aren't covered in dog medicine what are gloves by him yeah think before you talk this guy why don't we even invite him to this I'm giving you a minus zero points.

6:39Why go for dog pads? Why not like bug exco - exco-skeleton-s?

6:47Exco-skeletons, eh? Yeah, they're like, hang out with James. Bucks - Bug exco-skeleton-s? I feel like every time he's brought up lately, I get lumped in with the - man, Wade really is like a two or three year old. Dude, we went to dinner the other night. Oh, yeah, we don't have to - god that was so funny we really don't have to relive that what happened i want to hear about james has always sort of known wade as molly's husband he crushes on her hard he loves molly and then we're like and this is wade and he's like yeah yeah hey and like keeps talking to molly he's become increasingly dismissive towards wade the longer they've known each other and we were out at a restaurant so and we were getting ready to leave i think and ever so everyone was standing up and sort of move making our way out and i was like james say goodbye to everybody like you know give give him a hug or whatever and he ran around it was like bye bye and got everyone except wade and then he's standing right in front of wade and i'm like hey buddy did you forget anybody like did you did you say goodbye to everyone and he looks up at wade directly looks right at me regards him and is like no and walks away it was brutal man he thought about it he was like i don't owe that guy shit see ya that's very funny it was so funny when he first started saying goodbyes molly and i were standing right next to bob and james cuts right across in front of me to go to molly to say bye to her first he like bust you out of the way almost he was like don't touch me i gotta talk to molly i am an obstacle in between one of his many love interests that's that's fair i'm giving you a pity point just for that way thanks he needs it man it's tough out here hey you need that yeah it's it's real tough uh how is your life though well pre-prepared for a couple more pities i finally went to see a doctor and had an EKG done because I was having those heart palpitations.

8:52EKG came back clean, which was nice. That's always good. And then they put me on a heart monitor for 48 hours. So I was wearing a heart monitor, which I thought would be really disruptive and annoying. It actually didn't really bother me at all, other than the fact I couldn't shower or bathe with it, which was kind of gross, but otherwise didn't really bother me. But I turned that in before we went to dinner over the weekend. I turned that in on Sunday. No one's called me. No one said a So I I'm guessing I'm okay or they lost it or something if it was bad news They would have called you right away.

9:20Definitely. You're totally fine Well, let me rewind to getting the heart monitor Okay, so I go see my normal like family doctor and he's like, all right We're gonna do an akg. I'll just do some normal tests and you seem fine But you know just to be safe and give me a prescription to something I figure that's called just in case I needed it Probably should have looked into that more. I've got some medicine. I should probably be taking that's yeah You might want to learn about that, but go on Molly wasn't there to tell me it was important so I forgot about it My bad But then he's like let's get you on a heart monitor for a couple of days just to see what's going on So I had to go to a hospital to get the heart monitor they didn't do it there They scheduled me an appointment to go to the hospital I walked in with Molly and the doctor had been like yeah it's gonna be really quick They're just gonna put a couple of like sensors on you You'll carry the heart monitor around it'll be easy It shouldn't be a quick appointment whatever and then they'll have you drop it off Cool So we go to the hospital and I check in and they send me to another place where I check in again, make sure I'm in the right spot, double checked in.

10:15Molly and I sit down and the lady comes back right away and calls my name. It's like, oh man, so fast. There's some people waiting, but they wanted me first. This is excellent. And Molly starts to go back with me because after the, I forgot to ask questions about my medicine debacle, she's like, I will be with you every step of the way from this point on. So she goes to go with me and the lady that calls my name is like, patient only, you have to wait here. And the look Molly gave, I thought the lady was going to die on the spot, but she held firm and made me go back by myself and i was like well they're just putting on a heart monitor how this it's gonna be fine like whatever they take me back to a room it's a big room i was like man this is a large room for a simple thing but okay that's fine is there an audience in the rafters is there like a circle room it's an operating theater there's three other nurses in the room oh good and they start striking up a conversation with me they're like this is your name your birthday oh happy early birthday's like oh thank you they're like i'm april 4th because my birthday is april 3rd like i'm april 4th i'm april 5th it's like that's weird we all i'm three four five and they're all like oh well we're just we're excited to have you here and i was like great why are there so many of you for this are you so excited and why are you excited never seen a freak like you before wow yeah it's like i'm just here for a heart monitor but i'm hey everyone yep i like chatting with people there's people i got an audience i'm happy and they sit me down, keep asking me some questions and they're like, alright, well this is going to be a pretty simple procedure, it'll take about 45 minutes or so and I was like, procedure?

11:4245 minutes? These are words that don't sound like putting on a heart monitor. Come to find out, they were going to be doing some like super stress tests or something, and the only reason they figured out that I wasn't the supposed recipient is I guess they finally saw through the gray in the ball and realized I wasn't 78 years old. But for the first however many minutes, I guess I convinced them. I like that part of the conversation was about your birthday too It sure was So they were thinking about that And in their head they were like Man he looks great Wow It was born in the 50s Wow They had my name right too So they must have had the right cover sheet But the wrong back sheet or something I don't know But they had a good mixture of correct and very incorrect information There's a deaf 90 year old in the waiting room named Wade just say they'll call me any second now oh is this what performs the test yeah you take this you go home and we'll call you in a couple of days i really thought i was getting more done than this doctor said there would be more nurses to talk to always always love attention yeah same you're all the same so anyway when they finally figured out that i was the wrong patient this is like 10 15 minutes in another nurse comes she's like hey come with me sorry we really know what we're doing here today i promise it's just it's a little hectic and i'm like okay good so can i have my wife come back they take you to another room with a huge machine that says anal probulator and they're like all right lay down face down wait a minute which weight are you oh shit it was wade day at the hospital i should have known we scheduled by name i always tell them that's a terrible plan they had the lady that came back and got me she apologized for the mix-up i was like can my wife come back and she's like this will be too fast no you don't need her and i was like man she takes me to the equivalent of a broom closet this is a much smaller room there is barely sitting room in this one and i've really missed the nice big stress test room but this room felt a lot more apt for the very minor just get out that happened and then she was upset i've got like i'm not i'm not a super hairy person but i do have a little bit of hair on my chest and she was like i was hoping you'd be one of the hairless ones and i was like excuse me she's like well i I forgot my razor.

13:57Give me a second. I was like, okay. So then she leaves and then she comes back with like a little handheld, like a razor and just like, all right, that'll be good enough. But she was very upset that I had any amount of body hair. I guess I was supposed to be an Olympic swimmer when I came in, but I wasn't quite prepared. She looked at your head and was like, I really hope it carries down. I guess so. Yeah. I felt shamed. This guy hates hair. I felt very shamed for having any amount of chest hair. But then she put the, I think it was like five sensors on, pressed a couple of booty doodoobs on this beeper thing, put it in my pocket, and she's like, all right, here's a paper.

14:36Write down when you have any issues, write down the time. Here's where you return it. I'll circle it. Okay. Fun. I walked out, and Molly looked like that girl from Willy Wonka who ate the blue candy and was like swelling into like red rage over time. She was very unhappy. oh okay not she wasn't like swelling up she was a human blueberry well blues i guess the wrong color she was turning red with rage is what i'm trying to say i just did it wrong you know wrong color wrong fruit wrong movie probably but okay i walked out and i was like look i've got the and i i mean she looked like her eyes were about to shoot lasers because one i was a lot faster than 45 minutes but she thought she's gonna sit out there for 45 minutes too she was there to go with me and she kind of had a hectic morning to make sure she could go to the appointment just to be shoved in the waiting room and then I started telling her about the mistakes and how like oh yeah you go to this other room you could have definitely come back to that one oh I should have never said those words because man oh man we got out quickly and it was probably for the best because uh she was not a happy camper with being dismissed by the people that took me to the wrong room and all she's like I need to go make sure the right things happen no we've got him we're gonna go do the stress test on your 78 year old husband I the context could not be more different but man do i feel that rage about not being allowed back in the room it was during mandy's pregnancy which it was during like covet time so everything was weird and it was it's a different context because i understand that they have rules about like oh let's make sure let's give the woman a chance to be separate from the man who's accompanying her to make sure that like if she has a problem she can talk to us because that is like that's a reality that's fine but man every fucking time we did anything because manny had like a doctor's visit or more a week during her pregnancy and every time we'd be like well can i go with her for this one she's really anxious today because you're gonna jab a needle into our our fetus baby in her belly and they're like no you wait out here like okay thanks great i'm glad this isn't stressful for anyone i'm sure my wife will love handling this by herself i fucking hate that again totally different context and i understand generally but oh my god i hate that so much especially because like for this one molly didn't have to go with you she wanted to go with you she was trying to like help or you know just make then for them to be like oh you you are not allowed like okay yeah they dismissed her like i mean they were very like just like no you'll wait here yeah well they do it they must do it 100 times a day because every even at the maternity doctor they were just like you can't come in get out of here like i was an idiot and i should have known that i'm like this is my first time ever doing any of this so i why would i know that okay no i have i feel that very deeply whatever that rage molly felt that's the worst but it's fine they didn't not only almost did the wrong thing for you very close but yeah no not quite they got you good enough which is what i look for in my medical procedures yeah love good enough whenever i go to the doctor i'm like hey i got this lump i don't really want you to put too much effort out but could you take a good enough look at it that I'll probably be fine and I really appreciate it it's all my insurance will cover well they did good enough and then of course I had the best least stressful no palpitation weekend ever and then I turned that thing in Sunday and then yesterday my chest was just I was sitting down we were watching a movie well then I was watching a movie and all of a sudden my chest was like remember me asshole I was like fucking why and again another like two hour episode she just manufactured it I don't know what it would be but you should have sought out experiences to like stress yourself out.

18:11So when you take it off and turn it in, you're just like, God, what a weekend. They'll have to believe me. I didn't know watching a movie would trigger. I don't know. Like maybe I was warm. Like my cat was sitting on my lap. Was it a scary movie? No, to be honest, it was A Few Good Men. Like Tom Cruise movie from the 90s. Very. Yeah, it's not very scary at all. Very mild courtroom drama. I would say it might have been because you were sitting down because that can have a pretty heavy effect on heart. symptoms like that, but I find it hard to imagine context in which I think you'd be standing up.

18:44So I feel like that's your natural state of being. Well, one of my mistakes, I did go on a walk on Saturday and it was a nice warm day. I got like halfway into this walk, like 20, 30 minutes into this walk. And I like, for whatever reason, I had like a cartoon flashback of like reading the paper, me holding the paper. And it's like, try to avoid activities that may cause you to sweat. And it's a hot kind of humid day. And I'm halfway into this walk, starting to like drip sweat from my bald head i was like oh no i was like i gotta walk back i just like look and there's this hill and then the hill grew as i looked at it and i just was like real slow walking back like kind of standing in the shade for a minute like yeah i wouldn't want to sweat that might get my stickies to unsticky why have i done this i'm a little surprised you didn't just lay down in the shade and call molly to come pick you up i'm not a quitter i was gonna make it back hey getting picked up and being brought back counts as making it back i'm pretty sure i don't know i that doesn't sound like finishing the walk whoa whoa whoa finishing the walk is not what we were talking about making it back home safely is what we were talking about anyway that's it as of right now i still occasionally have a little chest burp fluttery feelings no pain everyone just keeps asking how the pain is it's like if i had to give it a number it'd be like a one or a two there's not really pain it's just like i kind of noticed that it feels like my chest drank a lot of soda and is burping in the wrong organs.

20:02Oh, it's nothing. Oh, nothing at all. No pain. Just burping into my spleen. Just, you know, random gas pockets going into my liver. It's like a weird fluttery, fluttery, like, I don't feel, I don't know. My pancreas is jumping today, but, you know, it's not that bad. Or whatever. But I'm alive for now, so that's good. We're all alive for now. That's the promise. Thanks, Joker. I don't know why I was I heard problem coming out of your mouth at the end of that one I thought he's gonna say that's the problem all right all right all right enough fun now's the time not for fun I was having so much between being blown off by James and wearing a heart monitor I can't wait for the less fun oh you get about to be blown off by me because I was struggling excuse me I'm gonna blow you off so good oh man I hope that's not a markiplier I promise.

20:52We'll both. We'll take turns blowing you off. Yeah, exactly. Guys, my heart can't take this. So I was traveling internationally, and that's my excuse for not coming up with the perfectest crime, which is something that I made a very bold proclamation that I would have ready, and it would be like, it's going to be the perfectest crime. This is where it would be awesome if I suddenly said, just kidding, and unleashed the perfectest crime upon you. And then like informational packets would be hand delivered to you in your office doors. And so get ready for anything goes part whatever. Never mind.

21:31Stay out. I even thought about doing that other episode where it was like the opposite of the one I did before. But I'm going to save that because now that we're doing weekly, there are more opportunities for things to have happened in the wider world, you know, international events and whatnot, gaming news of various types that have occurred, horrible upsets that have plagued society that are being put to the forefront. It's time to break it all out because, boy howdy, I couldn't figure the rest of the perfectest crime out. Again, I was traveling internationally. I did a flight out to Thailand, and that's a 20-hour journey, and then did it right back.

22:18Stayed one day and turned right back around. That's a lot of flying for one day. And you'd think if I was up on a plane, I would be able to just brainstorm and think and write. Trapped in a room with nothing but your thoughts and a writing utensil. You're right, and I sure did. I know that sounds rough, but I have to do the same thing this week, only it's eight hours and I'm driving and it's nationally, not internationally. I'm traveling nationally. And I'm traveling less, but it's basically the same. Internet, not internationally, internationally, internationally, inside of a nation. Yeah, not outer national, international.

22:56Just to give you guys some more time to get up there. You know, there's a little delivery robots that prowl the streets that fall off the curb and go please help me up please help me up and nobody helps them because they're like fuck you we're a little robot i haven't heard that uh so i always thought those things were like little and weak and and they could barely drive just in the past few weeks those little delivery robots have smashed through bus shelters twice yikes they've smashed through the glass of a bus shelter just what do these things look like hold on they look like very large remote controlled coolers yeah yeah they're not like car sized or anything but that is stronger i would i would have thought they'd be little pushovers i would it seems bad that they could cause that much damage you want to see a video of it i have one yeah yeah it was a joke but i there was a whole i think it was a npr journalist who did a whole piece on this place in england which was one of the first cities to implement this sort of like delivery robot scheme as as like a city-wide service kind of thing and literally she she has a she did a very long like journalistic look at it and there she had all these clips of them like falling over or getting stuck and being like hello i am stuck please pull me out of this mud but like being really like kind of funny but kind of obnoxious and none of them destroyed anything yeah well the uprising has begun so beware that's not good yeah check this out oh no bro does he realize oh he blinks god i hate that if they're gonna have a blink they should have to do like a little like he's an animal like he's all blink blink it just carries on so i'm i'm hoping that this isn't like because you never know these days with like ai videos and whatnot because there's a little bit of a jump there but it seems like it's not it does have a weird sort of jump and it's real it's got a ton of aliasing so it's pretty hard to tell this honestly looks like it could be like otr in cincinnati do you know where this is some likest louis this is chicago chicago okay it looks like some midwest city oh they ripped off Cincinnati to begin with so it's right that sounds right yeah that that tracks uh but anyway so that was one of two incidences so watch out for those they apparently have way higher torque than you could possibly imagine low speed extreme torque they will break your kneecaps backwards and then keep going I have also seen videos of those things getting absolutely fucking demolished in crosswalks because they do have to they cross roads and they follow they follow the rules of the crosswalk without any of the human intuition that keeps humans alive and there are plenty of clips of people just not stopping and turning right on red and just like because they they're little guys and they don't destroy cars cars destroy them and i will say this i will never order from one because i'd be embarrassed to meet it outside has anyone you guys or in the audience ever ordered from one of these things?

26:11I think the only context I can imagine that, and then see, this is the thing too, is I was a lazy college kid, but I have seen that these are popular in like college towns where it's like you can order, you order some food or you order some, something from a convenience store type place and it brings it like, brings it to your dorm because you live, because you know, that's big business. There's however many hundreds of kids all living in one building. So it makes sense for them to, but even still, even in college, I was such a lazy college kid. I could still walk up the street to go to the gas station or walk down the other way to go to the Kroger or whatever.

26:44Like, it wasn't that hard. And it would be very embarrassing. Also, this is specific, but the place, the hall that Mark and I lived in our freshman year of college, do you remember the big fucking steps from Calhoun Street down to get into Siddall? Oh, yeah, yeah. The two levels down there. I just love the image of one of those things getting to the top of those and to just be like. This episode is brought to you by ChatGPT. Hey, it's Bill Simmons from the Bill Simmons Podcast. Have you guys heard about ChatGPT work? It's the new way to use ChatGPT for bigger multi-step projects. And when you need more than just answers, give ChatGPT work access to your apps and files, and it can create real work documents like spreadsheets, slides, and structured reports.

27:31Get started at chatgpt.com by selecting work mode available on Plus and Pro Plans. Like all the way down trying to get to the dorm. UC would not be an ideal campus for those things. No. Every 50 feet there's another stairs up or down. Or steep hill or yeah. Well, they've got the torque for hills apparently. Yeah. I mean, they could just plow right through one of the walls. Now some of UC's buildings, they could probably get through the walls. Those are some old buildings in some spots. Do you see they're tearing down the old cement sadness tower? Whatever that Crowley, whatever that one was called.

28:13Oh, no. Why? It looked like a Soviet prison. It's like the largest single poor concrete structure. Yeah, something like that. It was an expensive and huge pain in the ass to take down. I did hear that. It was obscenely expensive just to remove that building. It is full of concrete. It is one big slab. That thing probably doesn't want to come apart. They're just like the wheels of progress. I don't know. They're getting rid of it so they can build some new building that'll look horrific or be really stupid in 30 years. I don't know. I think it was honestly, as much as it's been really difficult to remove, I think it was so old that it was like parts of it were uninhabitable because it was no longer like Like it was no longer watertight and there were literal, there were like areas that were just quarantined off because they were flooding or every time it rained, it blew, it never rained.

29:07So as much as it's hard to take down, I think it was also just a really old shithole because it's just an old building. But hard to fix potholes on a building. And it's hard to rewire something like that. Probably. I've never seen a concrete patio slab last for more than a decade. I have a hard time imagining why a concrete building was ever a good idea. But so it goes. Hey, you know, dams can last, but you know, whatever. That's true. Now we're getting into the real competition. So anything goes, guys. Entertain the audience at home. They are yearning, yearning for the comedy. They were promised it.

29:47Oh, that's what we're supposed to be. I've been doing this whole time. Oh, should I flip to see who goes first? Oh, I suppose. head bob tails wade well usually it's the other way but i'm gonna switch it up this time whoa oh head bob that's me i'm head bob bob actually you go now even though you technically offered up the cincinnati thing hey i got good news i love good news sora is shutting down or has been shut down eh right this is the sign the bubble is bursting uh if he i don't know i'm verging on a Trump impression there. But if you don't know, OpenAI has many services. And OpenAI is the company that runs ChatGPT.

30:30One of the things they had that was terrible to behold and shocking to look at was a service that would generate videos from text prompts. So you can make a video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, so on and so forth. The service was called Sora, and it has been or is imminently will be shutting down. The reasons for this are not as victorious as I might have hoped, but still, you know what? I feel like it's a win for society. This is probably the biggest, like most widely known AI product that I think I've seen going offline because it's not, I mean, the reason it's not good. It's because it's not profitable, but it's not like they had an epiphany and they were like, oh, this isn't good for people, is it?

31:16Oh, we are sort of stealing copyrighted works to, you know, they don't give a shit. They have not come around on any of those issues, but it's shut down because probably speculation is that open AI is looking to do an IPO, an initial public offering, essentially to become a publicly traded company. It's what you do to to then have, you know, be on the stock exchange, basically. And when you do that as a company, you have to open your books to the public. You have to open or at least to investors. You have to open up your books and people have to look at how much money you're making, how much money you're spending.

31:48Are you a profitable company? apparently while the results of it were pretty crazy techno technically speaking and pretty terrifying humanly speaking apparently it was costing them something like 15 million dollars a day just to run the compute power required to run sora as a service which just again generates short video clips from words so you just tell it what you want i want a video of a person wearing a trench coat, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever. But$15 million a day, I can tell you, I don't think consumers are paying$15 million plus a day to get videos that they can post on their Facebook page so that their grandma will like it or vice versa.

32:36Yeah, because it was such a money burning garbage fire, they were like, let's shut that down so that investors will actually maybe invest. But anyway, I just feel like that's generally a victory for humananities. Human. What's that word? Humananity. Humananities. I'm a human man. And that's a victory for us humananities. Humanan. Human. I think this rides on the coattails. Not if, wait, unless you were going to say something about the Disney thing. Of the Disney thing. Okay, no. Okay, the Disney thing. So this is simultaneously coming along the legs of OpenAI had a Disney deal for like a billion dollars.

33:14It was like Disney was like, yeah, you can use all of our property to train your AI. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was a week or two later. Disney was like, we're getting out of the deal. I can't imagine why. Not sure what terms, but also I'm like, who at Disney thought it was a good idea? Like, yeah. Who allowed that? Disney is so protective typically of their stuff that that's wild. They were like, yeah, use it. Yeah, well, who would do something bad with an AI product? It's only used for good stuff. Yeah, yeah. See how it's making the world better all around us? It's so good. They just didn't like the AI Diz Hub.

33:51The what? I think he's going for a mashup of Pornhub and Disney, and he called it AI Diz Hub. I totally came with you on that journey, and I do. Thank you. I respect how accurate that is, because 100%, the first query that they had, someone was like, oh, they have Disney IP in the video generation thing. Naked Elsa sucking on like immediately the absolute first thing that someone typed in was something horrific with some Disney property 100 % Olaf's nose but it's actually a penis Olaf sex robot dildo nose help me step snowman I'm melting and then we got sued by Disney yeah it's on the way allegedly allegedly we're being allegedly sued by disney no no allegedly all the things we said before oh yes allegedly that stuff i said yep yep yep anyway who i i gave you a point for ai dis hub so it's on the record that that was your idea wade that's wade's idea yep yeah that was at the wade's point wade's idea that's just go after him just go after him wade invented that that's why it's an llc for limited liability company how quickly can someone change their name you just switch with that old guy That's true.

35:11That guy's like, I got the wrong test. I'm being sued by Disney. This is a terrible week FBI kicks down your office door like you're arrested. You're just like What? Oh You must be looking for that younger Wade. Oh, look I don't have any hair I must be a guru Oh guru they said a ghoul. Yes, I must be a ghoul Go order. Fear me. Ooh. All right. All right. Fun time's over for you, Bob. You've gotten enough points. Not nearly. Wade, your turn. Let's turn the globe a little bit. We're going to Johannesburg, right? Over in South Africa. There's a mayoral candidate who's really trying hard to get the city to root for her, vote for her.

36:03And by doing so, she decided to go snorkeling as a big campaign. Vote for me. But do you know why it's effective? because where she went snorkeling was just like an average city street where they've had a water leak for years that they haven't fixed so she went snorkeling in this big pool of just pissing out water that's been wasted for how many years what i don't know how long it's been going apparently a very long time did she put some chlorine tablets in first based on the pictures it certainly doesn't look like it. She did look for fish in the muddy gross looking water but I don't think she found any.

36:42I think I got one. Ah, another turd. Ah, damn it. I'll find it down. This place is known as the City of Gold, apparently. The pool has been there for about three years. They call it a pool of water. And it looks like just mounds of dirt with like a house across the street and there's like water kind of maybe it's water she's splashing out. It's got this really shitty little like do not cross tape line to keep people out half collapsed. And then this picture. Maybe I should share the picture. There's a single boot in the background. No good boot. Single boot. There you go. See her splash in. There's the little tape line and there's the boot.

37:21There's a boot. There's a boot. Just a boot. I forgot the whole she's running for mayor thing. I thought this was just some random. All right. She's running for mayor. She's running for mayor. Via AP News, which is all my comedy news. I always take it from them. That's really gross. I'm sure there's only good stuff in that hole. Is she in the lead? No clue. This was the event. The article just came out a few days ago, so I'm not sure that they've had any kind of election since that. All right. Okay. Well, that's horrifying. Well done. I'll give you a point. Don't know why I did, but I'll give you one.

37:55Okay. All right, Bob, back to you. Did you guys know that penguins fuck? Yeah. I have a loose idea of it. Wait, do they lay eggs? They do lay eggs. I'm going to blow your mind about birds if you want to go down that path. I don't know the details of it, but I was just trying to make this article sound exciting. Guys, I figured out who's causing global warming. Oh, man. Everyone is all up in arms that it's corporations spewing carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases and record unprecedented levels and blah blah blah they're mewing they're mewing to carbon gases i said spewing oh spewing i heard mewing okay never mind anyway it's not them guys it's penguins specifically king penguins that live in a sub-antarctic island chained have found a 40 percent increase in their breeding success rate thanks to warming temperatures.

39:01The change in climate has allowed their breeding to begin almost a month earlier than it normally does, and this has increased their breeding success rate, which has increased their proliferation as a species. It's 20 ,000 king penguins that live in a sub-Antarctic island chain. They're doing this so that they can more effectively bang each other and make new generations of penguins. It's just science. Okay, and so they're fucking so much that it's causing global warming? Oh, no, they're just causing all of the extra emissions and stuff and oils. Oh, so that, ah. They're making it happen so that they can have more babies.

Read the full transcript

39:48They were concerned about the great king penguin replacement theory. So they're just dominating the world and doing whatever they have to do so that their species may prevail. Humans be damned. Humans and other inferior species, really, all of the rest of us. It's these penguins, guys. It's definitely not corporations or anything like that. It's definitely not humanity. It's these penguins. Because I can tell you what, climate change is not helping humans have any extra sex. We got that. We're pretty much maxed out on that. Sex maxing. Yeah, we're sex maxed. But these king penguins have figured out that causing climate change will, I mean, a 40 % increase in sex.

40:3140%. That's pretty good. Imagine. Imagine. Everyone out there, imagine. Think about it a lot. It's these penguins, guys. It's a serious issue. And I think we really need to address it. By which I mean, we should probably carpet bomb these penguins out of existence. That'll probably solve all our problems. I've been on social media too long. My first thought was how many people are going to be like, whenever you said 40 % more sex, imagine they're going to be like, well, 40 % more of zero, still zero. What are you on? Social media that's populated by all of our parents.

41:04You know, Twitter set to only dads who tweet mode. A bunch of just sad, like, oh, man, a lot more sex. Multiply my amount of sex. It's still zero. Wade's only social media is just r slash divorce dads Is that a subreddit? I'm going there right now 100 % is It's gotta be, that sounds like something real I'm sure it's a happy fun place Got 10 ,000 weekly, oh man it's people asking for help Oh that's not funny, it's supposed to be funny, come on reddit I didn't expect it to be funny, who would have thought it would be funny Oh man, it's talking a lot about child support questions All right, listen, I wasn't looking for actual divorce dads who are.

41:48Look, I was thinking we've talked about him before. Graham Barrett on TikTok and how he opens packs of divorce dad cards. That's what I was thinking r slash divorce dads would be. All right. Where's the funny one? R slash divorce comedians. Real divorce dads or I don't know, whatever it is. Just just divorce comedians. Well, isn't that just all of them? Oh, maybe. Look, if Brian Regan can't make it work, I don't know who can. Still haven't seen that guy. Here are good things from you, too. He is probably one of the defining stand-ups who shaped the type of jokes that I make on a daily basis. So, yeah, same.

42:23You have all you have him to thank for all of this. You're welcome. Maybe that's why I haven't watched. He's going to be in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Connecticut. What happened to Connecticut? Both Connecticut? He's going to be in Connecticut and Connecticut. Ridgefield. I saw CT and I was like God I hope this is Connecticut He's gonna be in Ridgefield CT I rolled, gambled, and I made it I mean your other options were what? California and Colorado? Look I don't know how many C states there are You gotta sing the little song Look it's actually Texas It's the Commonwealth of Texas Come on get with it Common Texas What about Common Texas?

43:03You know 1580 BCT before Common Texas That's how they keep time down there That was a sweet calendar joke. Thanks, man. All right, cool. How many points is that worth, you? Oh, man, a million and a half. Me just took the lead. All right, Wade, keep it going. Wait, whose turn? Yeah, it's Wade. All right, listen, we talked about some horny penguins. What about horny steel pipes? Because there's a pipe in Japan that grew 32 feet overnight, and nobody knows how. Wait, what? a giant underground pipe rose 10 meters out of a construction site overnight and everyone was like who did who did this as of the release of this information which was a couple weeks ago no one knew why it happened is this in tokyo no in osaka in osaka there was a steel pipe trying to figure out why the pipe it looks like a bridge support this is a big pipe something happened that caused it to rise 32 feet out of the ground and everyone was like man they They did some work last night.

44:03Show me the pipe. You see this pipe? You see this pipe right here? Oh, what the fuck? Apparently, this part was like down here and it just whoop overnight. This isn't just like a pipe going horizontally. This is a pipe. This is a pipe that looks like, I don't even know what to equate this to. A tunnel? It's like the Willy Wonka elevator, just the thing that is around the elevator holster, you know? The holster. Yeah, yeah, the elevator holster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It came up out of the ground. I think they're just leaving one important piece of information out of this article that makes it all make sense.

44:42When it came up out of the ground, it happened overnight, so not a lot of people were around, but when it came up from emanating from all around, but also from nowhere, was just this classic sound that just went. Oh, that would have been a much better description of what it is. And then an Italian guy jumped out of it. Is this a big promotional stunt for the Super Mario Galaxy movie? Super Mario 2. Chris Pratt's going to come climbing out of the pipe any minute now. Uh, hey guys, it's me, Mario. Wahoo. Hey, Luigi. You like, you know, it's a high jumper. Wow, brother. Or it's much more serious and all people from Italy are evacuating to Japan via this pipe right now.

45:29Osaka is the new Rome. A tan Italian guy climbs up out of the pipe and goes, Ah, adios mio, but an Italian. Help me. We will trade you our pizza for some hibachi. I tried some pizza for hibachi. Hibachi sounds really good right now. You guys want to go to hibachi? Let's go after this recording, please. Oh, can we record videos of hibachi? Can we just do an episode that's just our reaction to hibachi? Just a camera set up and we're just like the flame or whatever. and we're just like have you seen that video of like it's a bunch of guys just that threw like a molotov down a long big empty pipe and so it's some kind of mesh on top so the some of her standing over and somebody and they're filming down and you see it go down way way far super far down just falling for like five six seconds straight and then it hits the bottom and like this wall of flame comes up and all the guys are just like just like naturally just because it's just comes out as a human thing just just it was very monkey like that's 100 how i would react if i was standing over that when it happened i'm not a no judgment whatsoever i get that yeah just uh it's just something like that reminds me that oh yeah we came from apes oh what'd they drop it like a propane pipe like Why is there a big boom?

46:53It must have been like a big dig hole from a who knows what. Yeah, had some gas in the butt. It wasn't a good idea, I assure you this, especially standing over it. Sounds fucking awesome. What are you talking about? I know from history of growing up that Molotovs were never a good idea because I had some friends that were like, I don't want to have to start a campfire. What if? And then it always went downhill from there. Yeah, there's a lot of awesome bad ideas. Great name for an episode two. We should definitely do awesome bad ideas. We should give out awards for them. Maybe name them after some classical scientist of some sort.

47:30All right. Awesome bad ideas. I'm calling that for a future episode. That's great. That's great. Oh, I didn't realize you were dibsing that. I'm dibsing it. All right. Well. Well, if one of you beat me to the punch, I'm not going to be too upset. I won't remember. Unless it's the next episode. I don't even remember what the thing that I'm supposed to do the opposite of the thing that I did before. You know, I don't even remember that. I don't know what you just said. I don't either. I found a new sport for us to participate in. It's not what it sounds like. It's called the wife carrying race. We all have those now, and I'm pretty sure our wives would let us carry them.

48:04And I'm pretty sure they would encourage us to race while doing it. Yes, they would. Yeah. If you win the race, you get a barrel of ale. I mean, where do we sign up? This sounds pretty awesome. All you have to do is go to, yes, this is a real place, Dorking in Surrey, which is in England. If you go to Dorking on the right Sunday of the year, you can participate in the wife-carrying race. It's a real place. It's not too terribly far outside of London from my quick glance at a map that I took a minute ago. This is not how I expected them to be carried. I found a picture of this. Yeah, I know. It's not about aesthetics.

48:46it's about efficiency mark it's inglorious it's about sending a message i don't know what the message is like a dog chasing a car i guess it wait are you looking up at the picture of this oh i see it yeah yeah yeah that's i guess that's efficient you know the more i think about it i'm more like yeah i guess be a lot more awkward if they flipped around the other way so for listeners and also because i'm not sharing the picture anyway the picture is of a guy sort of standing pretty upright and his wife is like face down over his shoulders and his head is like between her legs. So her legs are out in front of him and he's holding her legs.

49:23And then her top of her body is hanging down his back, kind of like a backpack. But then she's grabbing around. So she's holding onto her own legs and sort of like helping him carry and balance. It's effective. I think the worst part of this is it's a quick race, but the woman has to be basically upside out the whole time. You must get a terrible head rush. If he stops all of a sudden, she's going to break her nose. how hard do you think his ass is i don't know based on the carrying and running probably pretty firm i don't think this picture is of the winning couple but the winners this year were two finish i think it's finish right yes two finish people timu tovinen tovinen tovinen oh man no chance and the hata leninen leninen zero percent chance those are right both finish apparently a finished couple in one minute and 45 seconds, which is pretty fast.

50:13It's not a very long race. We could do distance racing. I feel like I'd be better at distance racing. I'm not really a sprinter, you know, no one is disadvantaged at this. There's no height advantages. There's, I feel like we would all be on pretty good footing. I mean, if anyone's a disadvantage, it's me. Cause I probably, I would say I'm in the worst shape of us in terms of just like running ability. I actually don't know. You've been walking every day, right? I swear. I have not done any cardio at all because if I do any hardy of it all i am dead for the rest of the day i i go up a hill and i'm out of breath it's truly terrible and i need to fix that i hear if you go up enough hills it gets easier okay and you get to listen to kate bush while you do it i don't get that one but i'm sure it's funny that's that stupid song was that from stranger things well that's where it's known from i don't know oh oh if i only could I'll be running up that hill I get you okay yeah God we had an old episode where I got critiqued For saying God so many times do it I didn't get critiqued who critiqued God did God critique you God got halfway through episode was like I can't man I'm gonna skip this one Is this asshole gonna keep Doing callbacks this whole time I've listened to every other episode I'm gonna skip this one I can't do it anymore It's fucking guy.

51:35And neither is my son. Jesus, pack up. We're going home. I'm gonna confuse him with another Wade at the hospital just to show him who's boss. Oh, that bitch. Let there be ten Wades of varying ages at this next visit. Let everyone for the rest of his life think that he's 78 years old. And people say Old Testament God isn't the real one. I knew it. Alright. Wade, you have one more to close it out. Did you know in New Zealand you can't own a gun before 18? You can't possess marijuana or distribute marijuana unless it's medical? But apparently if you're a dumb teenager, you can accidentally donate your gun and marijuana to charity.

52:10What? So there were two teenagers in New Zealand that were apparently getting their car fixed. And they had a backpack full of goodies that they actually left right outside of a charity donation center. So whenever someone saw the backpack, they're like, oh, someone donated a backpack. And they went to go through the backpack and found a lot of weed and air pistol. What else was in the bag? some other shit in there whatever too I think money I think there's like a bag of money and like the person who found the bag and found all this stuff was like I don't think we can put this up in our charity place I'm just gonna call the police uh the teens came back later very upset they were very agitated that they left all of their weed gun and money apparently at the charity donation center I don't think it ended well for them if I had to guess I don't know the full result But uh how old were they I don't know if it gives their exact age I just get Teenage I think they're under 18 but they're In New Zealand so that means a day Older than us but younger Not great a day older than us But they spin the other way when you punch them Yes what That's funny that's That's where the point is That's a hemisphere joke right there Baby fuck Good one There good one yeah I think because they're They're under 18 I think that a lot of the details are probably sealed or whatever because they're juvenile what's the gun law in in new zealand my only knowledge about it is that it's fairly strict and i believe an air pistol is not necessarily like a not like an airsoft gun but it does shoot like uh well it shoots with air it's air propulsion but it does shoot like bullets still not like plastic bbs or or even metal bbs like it shoots bullet shaped projectiles potentially but i'm not 100 sure and i believe new New Zealand has very strict laws about gun ownership and registration and stuff, but I don't actually know for sure.

54:00I would imagine. So it says that people under 18 can't possess air pistols without a license and adult supervision. So they also found a police scanner in their bags. They had a police scanner, drugs, money, air pistol. Oh, OK, this is a criminal duo. I mean, these guys just wanted to be cops. They were like, oh, we'll listen to the police scanner and we'll have this weapon just for safety. And they must have listened in and beat the cops to a drug bust and apprehended the drug dealers. And they were going to take all that stuff to the I'm sure that's what was happening. Heroes. They're heroes.

54:38And they were hanging outside of a charity. So, you know, they're good people. Yeah. What kind of criminal hangs out outside a charity shop? That's cop activity right there. Yeah, that's cop. That's hero activity, actually. And I know what they're doing. Air rifles I knew could be powerful. There's a video called an air rifle that's more powerful than a firearm. And I was like, there's no way. And then I see him shooting it. And this metal target is like, it's a 72 caliber air rifle. I don't even know what that means, but I know it's big. 70. Yeah. Wait, does that mean it's bigger than a 50 caliber like sniper rifle?

55:16Cause those are, those are big. Yeah. 0.72 inches. So I guess a caliber is like, that's what that is. that's like a small artillery shell what the fuck you should see the ones that shoot air artillery shells air till nice thanks thank you i'm so scared you're gonna beat me to the joke because i was like air tillery just wait for bob to give me to give me an in i'll give you give him another pity point hey pity win is still a win all right i'll get air tillery okay okay i I got you, buddy. All right, we're going to wrap that up there. Well done, boys and boys. Bob, you got Dog Handman? Dog Hand Medicine.

55:58Dog Hand Medicine Man. That's right. Dog Hand Man. That's what it is. All right. You got Wade Dismissor, Anal Probulator, Goodbye Crosley Tower, Sora Shutting Down, Yay, Global Warming from Penguins, Mario Pipe, Wife Carrying, race hemisphere joke yeah got that hemisphere point you got a total of nine points there wade now do we count this interrupting point i don't know if the episode started maybe did i interrupt again do i get a point for that no it was a minus point it was a minus oh shit no i didn't rewind yeah no i think wait's right i think it counts i think he's on something there All right.

56:43Well, I guess it's in there. So that's a minus one on the interruption. Oh, I fell for it. You got minus zero for think about what you've done. I don't remember what that was. That could be a lot of things. This one started off real rough for you, didn't it? It sure did. But you got the James pity point, which negates the interrupting thing. So we're going to go from here. EKG champion. Molly didn't tell me it was important. was hoping you'd be one of the hairless ones. Yeah, she was. AI Dishub, which your lawsuit is in the mail. Snorkel in poop water, Japan pipe, Italian evacuation tube. Very funny.

57:23And New Zealand and air tillery. It's nine to nine. Oh. Oh. That include my minus one? Yes, that did. I shouldn't have let you have that air tillery point. The air tillery really got you there. I shouldn't have let me have that at minus one. If only. All right. Well, he'll spin it. I'll go to the viewers. We'll get one spin and then it'll be a tie. Oh, I have to do that. I'm just sitting here like, wow, I can't wait for Mark to pull the wheels up. Right, right, right. That's my thing. I do that. We've gotten rusty only doing one episode a week. I know. After how much we were recording for two a week, especially when like Mark was like, oh, I'm going to be bathing in blood for the next three weeks.

58:01So we'll have to get ahead. Doing one a week feels like I don't see you guys for like months at a time. Yeah. But lots to catch up on. It's great. Yeah, it's fun. Even though we've actually been doing games and still spending time recording. I told you I was going to talk about something before we hit record that I didn't even talk about. And now I'm not gonna. All right, save it for next time. If you don't win. All right, the total number of spins shall be... Oh, two. Two of them. What would you like to add, sir? Made the judge make this face. made the judge make the mark face we're not gonna worry about what is the mark face also just so it's on recording i'm gonna slowly scroll this list because i didn't notice and i don't know if it's always been like this but i i click this shuffle button every time we spin the wheel just to mix them up the other button in this pair of buttons is clear all this episode is brought to you by ChatGPT.

59:37Anyway, so I'm just gonna get this on video. I'm just gonna scroll this list. That's good. That's good. Yeah I'm sure nothing bad will ever happen more on 101 entries and I've still never accidentally clicked the button that deletes all of the entries But I'm sure it'll be fine Editors, just save that for us somewhere Because it sounds like we won't still know where it is But save that for us Alright, two spins it is Can't see anything Oh It's the one you just had Hey Wade, you made me make that face Because of the poop water That was literally Hey, that's good No Have we ever had the days at edition come up?

1:00:22I don't think so And that was a less than 1 % chance of that happening. Way back in the beginning when we had less entries, I think it happened, but it's been a long time. Well, Bob, here comes your point. A point for Bob and a tie for Mark. A point for Bob and a tie for Mark. Come on, we'll... Oh, lie points don't count. We don't have any lie points. Does that mean we re-spin or does that mean it's useless? I forget how we've done this in the past. I'm good for a re-spin. I feel like if it doesn't apply, which this doesn't, there are no lie points. Bob and I would have taken the win. Well, I guess it doesn't count.

1:00:57Move on. We have a winner. Most personal attacks. I got attacked the most. I don't know who it took. Yeah, but is this to the attacker or attacky? I don't feel like I lobbed a lot of personal attacks, but I do feel like Wade got picked on a little bit in this episode, so I'm confused. So, Bob, you have a point for Wade Dismisser. I'd say James made the most personal attacks, but either way, Wade was getting attacked. I think this usually goes to the person who does the attacking. Okay, if it does, then that would be to Bob and it would be a tie. But you're the judge, so you get to the... I guess you rule how you want it to go.

1:01:33I mean, I think the word of law here applies to most personal attacks, meaning that they did the most, which would be Bob for having Wade dismiss her there. So I think I have to call that a tie. My son did that. I get credit for that. That's true. given that he's half your DNA, therefore half you. Still worth one whole point though, right? Yep, yep, yep. It sure is. Okay, I thought you were about to lead that into. And so it's one half of a point. Yeah, I could convolute this to get out of the wheel, but I'm going to... Does that mean we have to do the winner wheel spin? Yeah. Brave. Mark is feeling brave.

1:02:09That is... And for some of my head says it's at 23%. I haven't written down. It's 23%. So plus 2%. So at a solid 25. I think we add after, don't we? We add after, yeah. So 23 % of 360 is 82.8. 83. That somehow looks a lot more reasonable than 87 did. That's more like what I thought it was going to be. Let's throw down, gentlemen. The Wheel of Fate.

1:02:49Oh my god It was It was not even close And then it was like actually back to one man show What the fuck I thought that was a man Alright That's brutal Well Bob good luck I'm not even gonna be in town to help write it That's not good. I'm the worst at writing these things. Oh, well, the Bob Mark show. That's okay. I'll write my own show. Yeah, Mark, you write your own one-man show. I'll write my own show. You get you. I'll get me. It resets to 6 % then? Is that the deal? Yes, it resets to 6%. I could have been completely arbitrary in my judging of those previous wheel spins. I feel like this is entirely my own fault.

1:03:36nobody wins well i guess wait does this count as a me win or not yeah i think it's nobody wins yeah nobody wins or both of you guys win i can't remember whoever does that in the subreddit tell us tell us how we do our own shit please tell us how this show works god we need to print out bible con like little bible size constitutional pocket constitution yeah i it's it's a living constitution by which i mean i don't remember uh anyway uh congratulations guys you somehow uh did it i think you did it you did it you both did it we did it is this a good thing that we that had happened mutual neutral speech neutrally assured destruction wait your speech first uh mark listen great episode it was weird from the start i knew things were weird last week whenever my heart was acting up and James dismissed me, it only makes sense we'd have a weird ending on this episode.

1:04:33So prepare yourselves for not weird, but just one man show, I guess. Well done. I'll be okay. I'm fine. Don't ignore the fact that I missed the mute button there for a solid 10 seconds. I'm fine. Everything's fine. Whatever face you were doing, I was like, is this a bit or is he dying? I know. That's just the face I make when it feels like I'm about to cough up my tongue. I don't like that. Neutral speech. a non-loser speech we'll call it honestly i feel a little bad i feel like the winner's wheel is always a gamble and mark was very fair in his point judgments and was very didn't didn't do like i do and wheeze a lot of things and make sure he doesn't have to deal with the wheel but it's because the wheel should have been in his favor and he really just he really just got it right on the chin there but you're a trooper and an honest man and probably more honest than i've ever been on this show so you have to respect it but i have to feel a little bad because you didn't deserve it but we don't all get what we deserve do we no we do not i think but hey next week i'm gonna get something aren't you yeah i yes it'll probably be good probably either that or we'll forget yeah i'm gonna text five minutes before and be like hey I'm going to be late.
