In short
“Doing Too Much” is a Distractable episode where the hosts riff on overextended products and “does everything” marketing, framed by their eventful week (GoPro delivery, Apple campus trip, CineGear Expo, and travel/visa chaos).
Guests
No guests. The episode is hosted by Bob (Bill Simmons is mentioned only in ad copy) with co-hosts Mark and Wade (YouTube/online creators; Mark is “hairless” in the bit; Wade is bald in the intro joke).
Key claims
- Dr. Bronner’s Castile soap is marketed as having 18+ uses, including toothpaste, sinus clearing, and pest spray—“doing too much.”
- WD-40 is advertised as having 2,000+ uses, but it’s mainly a solvent/penetrant, not a true lubricant.
- Frank’s RedHot is “one thing” (hot sauce) and therefore not overreaching.
- Duct tape is “doing a lot” but arguably not “too much” because it works for nearly everything.
Notable examples
- Apple campus tour: Mark’s bathroom Mac Studio “homelab” setup; meeting Tim Cook/John Ternus (as claimed).
- GoPro: a camera sent to the show; Bob films trains; Mark uses it at events.
- Bamboo Lab printer with added laser cutter capability (H2D/AMS): criticized as combining too many functions.

And enjoy the show. Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractable. the most hype the most handsome the most hairless podcast you're gonna find anywhere online i was trying to i could be handsome or it could be hype wait do i have to be hairless pretty much yeah i guarantee i have more hair than you on every part of my body that has hair plus i have hair where you don't the esophagus i guess if we're counting body hair i i am quite a hairless individual Markiplier up top, mole rat below Why did I introduce this podcast that way?
2:54Couldn't fucking tell ya Anyway, Wade's bald, welcome to Distractable This is the show where, uh, the points are like apples to your doctor They matter as much as you think they do But your doctor doesn't really give a shit if you eat apples, you still have to go see them I tried that, I told my doctor I was eating like three apples a day Still made me come in, didn't matter said I needed medicine. Anyway, if you've ever seen the show before, this is a great warm-up for what you can expect for the entire time. It's an improvised show. I have a topic. We might not even get to it. It really depends how things go today.
3:31We poured our hearts out last time, so I'm sure we'll get to the game today. I'm sure it'll be fine. But I'm the host, Bob, because I won the last one. And I only am, Bob, because I won. If I had lost, I'd be somebody else. I'm joined, as always, by my two competitors editors slash co-hosts mark and wade hello hey hey hey it feels like it's been like a month and a half to me the amount of shit that happened since the last time we were here doing this which was only one week ago is crazy to me do you guys know that five hours after we hung up the last recording session i was doubled over a toilet vomiting so hard that i was pulling muscles on my ribs.
4:12No, I thought you were on a plane. I kind of suspected that. Actually, yeah, Mark didn't know that. Yeah. No, I didn't go. Didn't end up going to England. Was supposed to go to England. Didn't happen. Crazy. Wait, neither one of you made it to England? Nobody made it to England. No, neither. No one made it. Is anyone in England? England, are you there? It wasn't just us. Nobody could go to England because their whole government system to get travel visas exploded. I don't know I don't know what happened it just stopped existing for a while but you were sick which is different than the problem I was having I haven't been that sick in such a long time last time I was like oh James was sick it was so bad I don't care you were sick anymore god I was sick it's awful me if you don't laugh it's really awkward guys Sam take a laugh from another episode put it here I just have uh it's been a hell of a week how are you guys doing well to echo on that I also was supposed to be in love.
5:11I've got a lot of small talk to that. It was also one of the most eventful weeks of my entire existence. I think all three of us could probably agree. This past week has been loaded with all kinds of incredible, horrifying things happening. Mine was pretty on par with normal.
5:33So I don't know if we all three could agree, but it sounds like you two really. I know one thing that happened to all three of us that we can all be excited about.
5:48We all bought it. Wait, what? Wait, is that the ILM one? No, it's a 3D printed. No, wait, no. And you, I know you bought, they sent this to me with a handwritten note that said, hey, distractible. Thanks so much for being so hyped up about GoPro and our new products. and we thought we'd send you guys they sent us one camera and by us they met you I assumed they sent it to each of us like we I am not distractible it was we are the three of us are distracted apparently you are Mr. Distractable because I knew Mark had bought one so I thought like oh well he's not going to be you know he's not going to be like hyped as I am about that but yeah they sent the and they sent the cage that goes with it that's pretty nothing you got never mind i mean nothing happened to all three of us this week we all had very different experiences did they actually did they actually yes honest to god a package showed up and it was addressed to distractible and i was like oh that's weird because we haven't had any sponsors lately previously when we had lots of sponsors on the show we would occasionally just get boxes that were like here's a year supply of gummies for some reason you're gonna do a sponsorship for but this it was it was a very nice note that was like ah you you guys are such good fans we love you distractible here's here's the new here's that camera you were talking about so much you go shoot your movies with it do they think they're funny do they think they're funny i think they're funny i was sad till i realized mark didn't get one too now i feel a lot better do this i have one i have actually multiple because i bought multiple of them if we didn't If we didn't get one, I'm happier.
7:25I didn't get one, so you can be happier. I didn't realize I was so important. I didn't realize I was the figurehead of this show. I represent all of Distractable. Look, you know, Mark, I'm sure that they meant to send it to you, and there was just some mix-up, because they were like, oh, Mark's a big Cincinnati guy. He must be the Cincinnati address. We all live in the same house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, it's... Teen house. It's going to be an honest mistake, right? because you you talked to somebody i thought or i have been i have been you know i i have been well they definitely don't have mark's address from the purchase he actually made through them to get one so yeah odds are very easy mistake i'm not even completely clear how they got my address i've never worked with gopro ever directly they work in tech they have all of our addresses they know us i just asked chat gpt like where does bob live and where does distractible live and your address came up.
8:22I bet yours is in the mail. I mean, this came almost a week ago, but I think that while I was sick, the day after we recorded last, I think this showed up. So it's been here for a while. I've been using it for trains. James likes me to film his trains, you know, so that's pretty important. Mark's like on the edge of a volcano, like, man, I really hope I can film this with my new camera. Bob's like, I have this little Fisher Price train set. It's a Brio train. It's a Brio train with custom 3D printed accessories. Okay, just calm down. I'm just going to see if there's a distractible code that works on the site, because that would be fucking funny.
9:06Mark is going into chat GPT to change the distractible address. Well, you've been using it, so I can tell you you were right on, Mark. It's a great camera. Probably the nicest camera I actually own. Well, it's old, but I do have a Sony A7. R2. So that's probably but that's not fair because this is like one tenth the size of that thing. I will say it's very good. Maybe not that good. Maybe it's not that good. Why did your voice crack during that? Are you okay? Shut the fuck up. I'm doing an anti-pitch now. I actually okay I was at Apple for the event and I felt afraid to pull this out of my pocket because you know them and their phones they're all like you're talking i was talking to the um the this is a whole other i'm jumping into the middle of my i went to apple uh small talk portion of this but i was talking to the we're gonna get another ms paint saga no it was the lead photo esthetician esthetician aesthetic person the lead the person who's in charge of defining the aesthetics of photos uh and so i i was talking to that about like it was like oh yeah what do you use it was like oh in the movie you know we use reds for my main youtube we got like an a7s3 uh and i have an nikon zr and then i have a gopro and they're like how how do you how do you match all your stuff when do you use your phone and i'm like i use my phone i use my phone how you use it But they all have to say like the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
10:48I legitimately had a great time at the Apple trip, but I didn't mean to do it. But I was like, yeah, here's my phone. And I pulled this out. And then I pulled out this monstrosity next to it. I was like, and then I got this in my other pocket. I was like, what is that? I was like, oh, I 3D printed this little macro thing. It was made by a... What kind of camera do you keep it in your front pocket? And I could just see like the color drain from her face Oh god I'm saying hiya Hiya Wait Hey look Episodes of An episode of this podcast was filmed on iPhones iPhone Mark's iPhone Can I tell you why I was invited?
11:26Well we now know why you won't be invited back But yeah sure No no I was I swear I have to shout out the subreddit Homelab because legitimately the reason I was invited is because Apple heard that I had 54 Mac Studios in my bathroom as a runner of bar. And they legitimately told me, yeah, no one's ever done that before. And so I got an invite. I got to talk. I shook hands. I shook hands with Tim Cook himself. Mr. Tim Apple. I showed him the picture of my bathroom. and he said, that makes my heart sing. And I legitimately was like, that is the most, I almost wept. I was just like, oh my God, it's so nice.
12:17Oh my God, I just put it in a bathroom. I met John Ternus. I shook hands with him. I showed him the picture of it and he went, wow. Wow, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Mark's like I went to Apple because I had a bunch of computers in my bathroom Yeah that is actually the reason Did you tell them about your Capri Sun hack? You know it didn't come up It didn't come up Did you tell them the next they should make it an adapter So that's a Capri Sun holder heat sink situation Mark pulls out his phone he pulls out his GoPro He pulls out a Capri Sun he's like guys I have the next big thing for you I think that BTUs are an outdated way to measure thermal capacity.
13:03I think it should be Capri Suns, you know. I had a whole thing where I was going to say it was such a wonderful experience, which it was. I'm not saying I wasn't going to say, oh, fuck. Oh, God. I was going to lie. I said it was a great time. It was such a wonderful experience. The entire architecture of the Apple One campus is mind-blowing. It looks fake. It looks like a weird VR background when they do, because they do walk-in talks in front of it. and stuff. And I'm always kind of like, is that the really the thing? Or is that like a weird rendered? Cause that looks ridiculous. It does. It looks insane.
13:36It's real. It's legitimate. It's every single inch of it has like this polish to it. And, and it's every like, there's so much glass. I don't know how they made all the windows. I don't know how they did it. They have the largest moving glass doors in the world. Cause, and it takes seven minutes for them to open and they calculate it specifically of when they can maximize the temperature exchange. And it's a marvel of engineering. That building is actually legitimately incredible. And I said to them, like, oh, I get it. Like, you want your employees to be inspired, but aren't you worried that they'll just kind of like wander in the park and never come back?
14:18Because the entire interior courtyard is like 80 acres of just like lovely landscaping with trees and gardens and fruit on art. there's orchards there that they use to to to make jam for their own cafeterias and it's like is it all apple jam no they have apples they have fig but that's that's funny that's funny right there it's it legitimately it's great so i i'm really painting it in a bad light my trip was wonderful and the missing employees wall is a little concerning of people that wandered into the park and never returned well that's at night if they hear see pieces of paper on trees and they go out into the woods and hear a thumping in the background you know you know you shouldn't go there then and there but i felt afraid because i kept i didn't you know i didn't film with my iphone there i was kept going like i i don't know if you were in like a separate thing but isn't everyone there filming with like their big their camera cameras it's not like every all because like uh mkbhd goes and stuff and they he has some yeah just fucking 8k cinema thing it's a really big iphone it's just an iphone with like so many attachments is like yeah this is an iphone 17 pro max yeah yeah yeah yeah absolutely yeah absolutely captured on iphone yeah i i wasn't with them i was in a separate group yeah i was in the red carpet no no it was special no it was good i was special i was special when you were done did you did you call did you call the guy who got you hooked up and be like oh yeah i almost went to the main part i was somewhere else he's like It would have been great if you would have been to the...
15:49Did you take any pictures? No, you wouldn't get your camera out? Oh, okay. Good. Good. Okay. Good. Good. Good. I'm glad we called that favor in. I swear I was in the special group. I was. Sure, buddy. It was so special. I had such a good time. They showed you the missing person area. They showed you their phone. They showed you some apples. and other fruits they gave you a capri sun they looked at your photo like that's a good photo that homelab reddit post is so good though like i i found that organically i mean i'm gonna i'm connected to a bunch of you shit so it wasn't that organic but it's the the discussion on that original post on reddit was very funny because there were so many people who didn't understand the context at all and were like why the fuck would you need any of this like yeah yeah what is for it was really cool to talk to them about why i did the max food because number one it's in a bathroom so it's like i can only put so many air conditioners in there before the air conditioner insulation guy will report me to somebody uh and i i feel like there was an aha moment with that and i it was so cool i was talking i was in this uh group with someone from ilm which is a lucasfilm uh who does a lot of the v effects for all the biggest movies you could imagine and so i was able to talk about houdini with this guy because like that was one of his specialties is like well i mean he uses all of the softwares but he also knows houdini and has used it for a long time and talking about like yeah i was using for like tops and it was perfect for the artists to be able to kick out little tasks to all the studios um and a lot of people think it was overkill but it's not overkill right now because right now there's like a run on Mac Studios and the price of them is actually more than I originally paid for them.
17:45So it's like I could I could turn a profit on just the thing. It's like so that was actually part of it because I knew - Used Mac Studio. Location. My bathroom. Sold as is. Not poopy. Bathroom pickup only. I will be on toilet when you arrive. Don't look. look, here's a photo of the Mac studios. There's just an arrow pointing to each one in that one photo. Like, here's the one you're getting. Yeah, one listing, just each one's. Yeah, that's pretty funny. So it was, but I was able to talk to, you know, some people at Apple specifically about that because they were very curious because it was like a niche use case and they really like to hear about niche use cases.
18:29And so I didn't mention Glabrasalt's at all. That was probably good. I mentioned how I stacked them like upside down like that and I okay I might have embarrassed I referenced how when I was at Perkins as a kid I would take the little creamer cups and stack them lid to lid that I would kill for Perkins right now lid to bottom bottom to lid like that and I told them like if you put a thermal sheet in between them because it's a big block of aluminum my theory was they could kind of share with each other because they're a big thermal block and kind of if one's running and the other's not it can act as a heat sink and at worst they could you'll fit together better and you know they were really they actually listened to me so ha take that everyone at home lab i went to apple i have an apple shirt i met the owner of apple and i told him how i used to stack coffee creamers that is not and then he looked at a picture on my phone and said wow And it's a misrepresentation of my story.
19:29Just the whole time it's feral mid-episode of Distractable Mark wandering around and be like, you know coffee creamers, right? You've seen coffee creamers? You can stack them. I thought laptops are like coffee creamers. It's not even a laptop. You just get the Capri Sun and you put it in the middle of them. He doesn't know what he's saying. Don't listen to him. Actually, if I probably did use Capri Sun packets in between them, that would have been even funnier. Like I stack one. Drink a Capri Sun, put it down, stack one other. You wait until you smash it in the middle and you... You really compress.
20:04You just have to get it out of there. I don't drink through the straw. I slam it between two Mac Studios and open my mouth. That's why it's in the bathroom. You stack them in the tub and then you just... And the tub collects the Capri Suns and then you have like a whole tub of Capri Suns. This is endgame Markiplier behavior. It's just like, I don't know what to do with all my movie money. Let me just slam the... If you guys zoom in on the picture, you'll see all the straws still in the wrapper on the floor of the bathroom. I hope at worst they got a good laugh out of me showing them the picture, but, you know.
20:37I think when, you know, when Tim Cook retires, he looks back on his long history at Apple and remembers my picture. His last words, he's like, don't let Markiplier own this company. Why would he say that? The last thing he thinks of is that picture. Your takeaway is that Tim Cook hates Mark now and is dying soon. What the hell? That's a rumor. I guess we could start. Don't! I'm never going to be invited again! You ruined all of my sponsorships forever and forever! Whoops. Well, that sounds fun. And I honestly, not that I have any reason to go to any of those, but I am pretty jealous because that's just one of those things where it's like, I just would like to go see, you know?
21:26Like the Apple campus seems cool. The event seems super cool. It's like, I mean, they have tons of people there, but it's pretty exclusive. You get like a cool like swag bag and they give you like, it's just all kinds of really cool stuff. That's very fun. Very jealous. It's awesome. Like no joke. Whatever you think about the company, that if you were to work anywhere, I'd be like, man, I could quit YouTube and work here This is fucking awesome This would be amazing You could be their bathroom guy I'll be the bathroom guy Mark we're having some issue in this bathroom It seems like all the toilets have been ripped out and replaced with Capri Sun dispensers Just keep building servers in their bathrooms I know what you're being in bathroom You guys aren't doing it right Why don't we get a PO for What's listed as 600 Bathroom iPhones Oh I'm working on something It's you know dispersed computing It's complicated I'll let you guys know how it works out Don't go in the bathroom on the east wing For a while well it's a donut So how to don't go in the bathroom on the Left donut How do you describe which way a donut Is one through eight It's like they have numbers sections One through eight and everything inside it is Sub numbered yeah whatever you do stay out of the Jelly stay out of the jelly I could go for it I want Perkins I want a donut I want all this stuff Is Perkins still in business yeah they still exist i can't think of the closest one to where we live but i i know i've seen one pretty recently everyone out there go to a perkins right now let's go support perkins to keep them around uh there's one in fairfield there's one in uh in cincinnati it says cincinnati i know that place great episode i'm gonna go get some perkins well you didn't even do your small talk mark had a couple that's right mark had a couple thing or did you do small talk i haven't even i haven't even finish my small talk i've got oh mark's not even done shut up wade sorry my bad oh no go please oh no man how can i live up to it mark's life is so fascinating i want to hear about it i went to gear expo oh sorry cine gear expo i don't know why i call it gear expo yeah skinny gear it's for skinny guys it's like uh nab and it's for you know cinema equipment manufacturers it's it was really cool it was on the universal lot and i don't i guess they didn't anticipate anyone would be driving a truck into this um because i go into the parking garage and i get there and i see a bar that says six six and if i look up what the height of of an f-150 lightning is it's probably just about six six six five so there's no bump yeah i hope that's a really accurate and consistent six six so i get in there and my antenna goes off of the bar and i'm me and sam sam is actually in the truck with me he was on this journey so he could attend we're looking up at the sunroof watching this pillar pass within like a hair's breadth and i'm like hope this road is perfectly smooth and doesn't bump us up at all because it was like that and then we get in there and no one stops us until we're already in it's like oh whoa as we're about to go through so i'm like i figured as much so i'm doing a 20 point like austin powers turn trying to get around and i drive out i get to the outside i'm just like hey you have any parking for like big vehicles i'm a big vehicle right here and they're like oh no no sorry you'll have to go across the street and i'm like okay that's fine i i have to make a right out here and then make a u-turn up ahead but i see another sign that's like cine gear parking right here it's another parking garage and i i'm like oh fuck Okay, I'll risk it.
25:05I go over there. Hey, what's the clearance in there? And they're like, oh, nine feet. They lied to me. They said there was no big vehicle parking. Anyway, I'm parked. That's my story. Nice, nice. That's it. I harassed the people at the GoPro booth. What else do you want to know about St. Kier? How far have we fallen in our small talk is, guys, I got to park my truck. I got to park my truck. And I found a place to park. L.A., everyone. Shut up. I talked to the GoPro people. I showed them this and they were really, I said, like, 3D printed thing. That must be why they sent us one. Yeah, us. They're like, let's send Bob something.
25:42We'll use it responsibly. I filmed stuff while, I'm the worst YouTuber in the world. I filmed stuff while I was there and I import all my footage and all I have is this pointed at the ground while I'm having a stupid conversation, a nine second clip, a six second clip of me in the bus with here going into the camera. I'll send Sam the clip of that because it's not like that is actually what I got. Oh man. And then there's like an out the bus window kind of horribly reflection thing. It's like, I think I know why they don't send it because there's no way I could ever actually show what this thing could do.
26:23It was like footage from my first ever PAX vlog. I forgot to film anything while I was there. Well, thank God you had your GoPro. So, Cinegear is really good. This thing is so good. Please. GoPro, please. Can I ask why they built a parking garage that can't hold any vehicles? I mean, trucks are pretty tall. How tall do you think most vehicles are? Well, I feel like if you're going to build a parking garage, you'd want it to hold more than cars. My car is a full-size SUV, but it's like 6 '2 or something. Like it's it's big, but most cars are are under six six unless it's a truck. Yeah. The F-150 Lightning is particularly large.
27:06Like all the Honda CRVs in the world, all the minivans, all the all the big vehicles that just aren't trucks all fit in there pretty much. When you get a car, Wade, you'll understand. Yeah, we'll teach you about it. It'll probably be. I mean, I barely have clearance in that garage. I feel like I'd want it to be taller. You get to sit down and I don't know if you know, Mark, you get to sit in cars. car you don't stand on top of a car you sit down in it so the height of the car you got the spirit airline standing seats in your car for your your it's like a segue car i only know those limousines where you stand sitting out the middle popping champagne and screaming with your arms in the air that's how i go around he stands sitting out the middle he really doesn't know cars oh well you must be done now mark you can't possibly have had other stuff happen i parked my truck i went to apple man people really shouldn't invite me to things come on man you're such a you're such a fun fun person with fun things and you've got all that footage recorded we get to see i yeah you are going to have had such a full week i'm glad it all panned out i did i did i got footage while i was at apple i did i got footage i got some stuff while I don't want to come across as incompetent Were you in the secret room where they showed you The unreleased hardware and can you tell us about it?
28:27You want to be a leaker? I wasn't Is that something that Leak us Mark? Oh every important person they invite there gets to go to that room Wait hold on they have a secret room Wait what do you mean they have that room Oh yes I saw that room Oh I'm going to leak everything They got everything in there It's so cool I was in the special group
28:50He's in the group called paid guided tour I don't know why I just have this extensive vision of you talking to the to the photo aesthetic Person and you pull your gopro and then you're just frantically like I I never used that I don't even know how that got in there I I have a vision pro I look Like oh yeah how'd you like the latest update oh well My dog borrowed it so uh chick is addicted to it not that it's addictive. I mean
29:27I got to meet Tom cook it said no relation under I don't know what that meant, but Tom was a real nice guy I don't know if you're making fun of me or if you actually think his name is Tom No, no I'm saying his name is I'm making fun both yes Both? I said you met the wrong person, it's funny See, this is the thing Wade, you shoot yourself in the foot When people don't know if you're making a joke Or if you just actually can't remember a person's name It's okay, cause I still find it funny And no one matters more to me than me When it comes to humor, if I make me laugh I'm happy Isn't that the truth?
29:59So does Wade get to talk now, or do you? Yeah, now my small talk is done 38 minutes in I swear I meant to These stories should have taken only like five minutes at most I don't know how it got drawn out this far how long was the segment about him parking his truck that was a quick one that was such a quick anecdote and then you know gear expo was I saw a lot I gotta tell you guys I went to the mall yesterday cuz Molly had cracked her not her screen on her phone but the like screen protector and cracks we went and got that replaced and we We got to the mall. It was actually pretty busy for like a Monday afternoon.
30:41So it took me like 30 seconds. I was driving up and down like, oh, I kind of want to pull straight through. But everyone's kind of like zigzag. But I finally found a place where I could pull through and I parked. And then went to the mall and did stuff. I got parking stories too. I drive. I car, have, and do. I believe you more every time you say it like that. And then I had hibachi for lunch. It was really good. What else have I done? I went to my mom's house. She has like a pool. So we went to her house and I went swimming-ish. I have to be careful with my legs. I wasn't going too crazy, but I got to get in water and move around and tried to statically toss football with my nephew without using my legs, which is harder than you'd think.
31:20If you try to sit on a float and throw a football, weird things happen sometimes with your momentum, it turns out. So I flipped myself off the back a few times, but it was good. I'm moving my calendar. What else did I do last week? I met up with Jesse, our friend Jesse. We went out and we had a - Oh, Jesse. We had dinner. I hadn't talked to him since we went we saw iron lung when it came out and I hadn't seen him since So it was the first time we got the other since iron lung I guess we were celebrating this iron lungs out on YouTube. We're like, let's get together again I hope more iron lung stuff happens.
31:47You could see Jesse ever again You gotta keep that alive We got a blu-ray release, I guess and then I don't know man I don't think there's anything else. It might be the last time I got something fancy to do He only manifests when iron lung is mentioned like a chant, you know demon I mean, you just go like, and he sort of fades into existence. That's the way it's been this year. It's creepy because he doesn't talk. No, he just sits there and wearing his iron lung shirt smiling. It's really creepy. He's got this weird expression on his face just like the whole time. For the listeners, I made this face.
32:23That face sounds like this. 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?

33:00That's actually pretty accurate. Yeah, that's pretty good. they made the face that you make when you make that noise which is not the face that i make when i make that noise just to be clear for the viewers who got confused by what he just said so i guess over over in blue ash there was an airport at some point i don't know when but they converted it into like a bar grill slash uh like big park area so we went over there and we had dinner which was pretty good but it was a beautiful spot and like the old air traffic control tower is like covered and like pretty lights and stuff now. So it's just a really beautiful spot.
33:31That was nice. It was nice getting out, catching up with him for a few hours because we hadn't talked, like I said, in months. But getting out of the house, kind of breaking the routine a little bit's been nice. Just trying different things to get out of the supernatural funk that's been this year so far. So pool water and air bar. I drink, I don't drink very much. You guys remember the drunk Minecraft days? I used to be like, oh, it's a double Long Island and all that shit. I had one cider at this bar with food and still I was like, Molly, we might need to sit here for like two hours or else you're driving home.
Read the full transcript
34:01Oh my God, this thing's like 6 % alcohol. So I had one cider and it about knocked me on my ass. So I'm definitely not a drinker. I'm very lightweight. I'm just getting out of the house, breaking the routine a little bit. I don't know. I don't do fancy things. There's no fancy stores or things I go to. So just a normal human behavior for me is a big deal. I played Diablo 2 again, resurrected, the old 1999 game. and learning how hard that game can be still compared to the newer ones. Kicks my ass. I feel like there was something else I wanted to add, but God, I'm boring. I should have gone first.
34:38I'm so boring. Oh, come on, man. You're not boring. Don't be like that. Remember how Mark parked his truck? That was the good stuff. I had lunch with my mom and I poured alcohol on her on accident. That happened. Like pouring one out for your homies? No, we had lunch and she had like a Prosecco or something and the waiter dropped off a check and I was like, I'll get it. And as I went to get the check, I just threw the Prosecco on her on accident. So it's kind of rude, man, the highlights of my week. Yeah. Mark didn't even talk about the visa thing. It's not that interesting. It's sort of just crazy that that happened because of course it did.
35:14Anyway, we didn't get to talk about real good AI on at South by. So we'll do a makeup stream at some point in the future. It'll be even better. Yeah, I guess. So I don't know what the event was originally supposed to be. Was it all a conference about Real Good AI or was it like a segment as a part of another show or like what was the... It was South by Southwest London, right? So it was not the main one in Austin, but it was, it's like a... I don't even know what South by Southwest is. There's like a music festival. There's like movie premieres and like, but, but the, they have like talks that are kind of in the vein of like TED talk kind of, but not really TED talky, but like the theme this year was like talks focused around AI and how AI is intersecting with stuff.
35:53So we were going to talk about what Real Good Is doing So the event probably still happened Oh yeah tons of shit happened Michelle Obama was there They did not notice How did she get there She has to visa like the rest of us I don't know Her thing was actually a day earlier than ours So she probably traveled right before that whole thing happened Michelle let us know how you got in Can I call you Michelle Let us know how you got in I do not condone him addressing you that way whatsoever this is on behalf of mark and bob they really want to know no don't listen to him listen this is obama cut the whole bit cut the whole bit cut it bail bail sam hit the emergency button hey well i'm sorry you guys didn't get to go hopefully how long was the visa thing down is it still down it was literally for like 48 hours right when mark needed it i got my notification that my visa was approved like that evening you guys missed your flight then it was like all right well now you can't make it you could go yeah yeah exactly all right small talk done all right bob we just had a timely manner yeah we got lots of time that's okay that's okay this game this game can be as long or short as we want it to be and by the way it's i i don't know i'm saying it's a game like it's it's not a game is it called long or short oh what if it was and now I'll be disappointed if it's not.
37:16This game is called Long or Short. I'm not disappointed. I feel like you're lying, but I'm happy about it. The new name of the game that just popped up into my head has nothing to do with the game and doesn't describe it in any meaningful way, but I'm going to go ahead and call it Long or Short anyway. Hey, my legs bleeding. Dude, I took rose bushes out yesterday with a chainsaw. It is as fun as it sounds, but holy fuck, do rose bushes fight back. Goddamn. Yeah. Yes. I'm at that age where I get like the cuts and bruises I'm like I remember getting this giant scrape What happened to me? Are you 73 years old?
37:51What do you mean by that? I know what happened I'm not confused why I have a scab down there No I literally get like beat up And I have no idea Yeah I don't know how this scab happened So I'm in that same boat You guys need to be more careful Don't worry Bob you're like two months away from our age You'll know in two months what we're talking about I think you're the youngest of us right? Let's say our age at the same time One two three 36 oh So I thought we were doing He's young Is that bad now? Alright long or short Also known as doing too much I have a list of some things I want to talk about Because Mandy brought this to my attention And I looked into it And I have a problem Have you guys ever heard of Dr.
38:34Bronner's soap? I'm familiar with this product It's a product No I'm not It's pure What the hell is it called? pure something castile castile yeah i don't know what that word means but pure castile soap dr brawners on their own website lists this soap which is just a liquid soap as having 18 or more uses and it starts off completely sane and rational because they're like it's a face wash it's a body wash it could be shampoo it could be used for shaving lather it could be bath soap which to me is not different from Bath body wash or any of that other shit, but like it's a list of - and then it starts going downhill Because they're like it could be toothpaste What?
39:22It could be aftershave You could use it to clear congestion from your sinuses Also, it's a window cleaner and a toilet bowl cleaner. You can use it for mopping. You can use it to wash your fruits and vegetables It's a plant and pest spray. Yes It's a thing that if you spray it on plants or on the ground, it will keep insects away from those things. Who is doing all this shit? I am not using that as a toothpaste. Yeah, I was going to say it kills things, but you could use this toothpaste. This product is doing too much shit. Okay. That's too many things. It's too bold. I do think it's worth noting that specifically the one that grosses me out, among the ones that gross me out is the toothpaste.
40:04It does specifically say like you could use it as toothpaste. It just tastes like soap. So don't do that. But you could use it for toothpaste. I'm like, well, why the? No, you couldn't then. Like if you would use lots of stuff for toothpaste, if you don't care that it tastes like an ass. That's not what toothpaste is. Toothpaste has like a minty or a cinnamony flavor. It's supposed to be like good. This product is doing too much. And I want to talk about products that are out here doing too much. Because I feel like we live in a time where technology is going too far. And every new product that comes out is like, well, what if it just does everything?
40:43What if it's an air fryer and deodorant? Can we make that combination happen? I was afraid you were bringing this up because you were going to say something about me doing too much for a certain company. No, no, no, no, no. I was going to take offense to that. Look, it worked out. You got me a GoPro. Is that not what you wanted to have happen? Because if it's not what you wanted to have happen, then I guess it really didn't work out. Definitely it was a distractible, so we have a GoPro. We got exactly what Mark wanted. I thought that was going great. I was not going to make fun of you for that.
41:16I want you guys to come up with products, and it could be like genres of products, or it could be specific things that are out here doing too much. I have another one on my list that I wanted to talk about, because this is a different product that is listed and advertised by the company that makes it as having over 2 ,000 uses. Holy shit. And I have some quibbles with the nature of the list that this company has put together, but the product WD-40, which is, if you've never used it or seen it, WD-40 is like a spritzy can thing of, I don't even know what technically it's called. It's not really a lubricant technically.
41:58It's for like cleaning. I've always heard of WD-40 used in the context of like, oh, if you can clean, cleaning greasy things with it, clean it off and then you apply fresh, you know, whatever. But WD-40 is advertised. It's having over 2000 uses, but their list is just a bunch. It has more than that because the list is it lubricates ashtrays for easy sliding. It lubricates auto hood latches. It lubricates automatic seatbelt tracks. It lubricates automatic side view mirror. It could lubricate everything in the known universe. It has an infinite number of uses. If that's the list of shit it can do.
42:34Isn't WD-40 not even a lubricant? This is a common misconception. WD-40 is not a lubricating agent. You should not rely on it as a lubricant. It is a solvent, I think, technically. It's great for cleaning things. It can be used as sort of like a penetrating oil or on rusty thing. It does a lot but the one thing I would say it's definitively not is a lubricant for anything Okay, but let's rewind it's a solvent. Okay, and whenever we were in math class back in the day They'd hand you with like a word problem. What was the last that was like, please solve you can't have solvent without solve Therefore, it's a solution.
43:10Therefore. It's the answer. So wd-40 is just the answer Well, he's definitely not gonna get a points for this game because it's about doing too much Not defending it doing well wd-40 is not you know it does too, too much. You know what? Here's a point. Frank's Red Hot. What'd you put that shit on? Oh, that's right. Everything. Hey, I will not tolerate the Frank's Red Hot slander. It does one thing, which is hot sauce. It hot sauces things. That's not what it says. You listen to the logo. I put that shit on everything. Your kid crying? Frank's Red Hot. Out of lube in the bedroom? Frank's Red Hot.
43:49squeaky door breaks red hot out of windshield wiper fluid breaks red hot i put that shit on everything all right you know okay all right you know what you actually just convinced me of something and i swear to god that might be the first time ever i was starting to jump all over you i was going to interrupt you to be like you're wrong and you directly addressed my exact concerns and convinced me that you are in fact correct that was an excellent argument wayne all it took was four years for me to get one right uh every point from in the past has been illegitimate i hear it i i've heard it confirmed here hey i don't give points because i agree okay i get points out of obligation all right i got an example of this um i never had this but i had a different bamboo lab printer the bamboo lab h2d i think is the name of it when it came out was an example of doing too much.
44:44It tried, it brought forward this, everyone excited, because like, oh, it'll have two nozzles. Whoa, you could do so much with two print nozzles. This will be great. You could put sport film in. But then it was like, the H2D, multi-nozzle, AMS. Also, it's a laser cutter. You get laser cutters in there. And it's just like, everyone was like, huh? What? Like, no one, we didn't ask for that. I just got a laser, 10 watt, 41. You know, you can get your laser lasers in here is like, I wanted a 3D printer. And it's like, it's not that the laser cutter is a bad thing. We actually have a laser cutter or Jason has a laser cutter and we laser cut things all the time, but it's a separate machine because when you laser cut things, there's a lot of fumes and things, uh, cause it's burning pretty much, uh, woods and metals and plastics.
45:35And you kind of want to make sure that's a filtered solution. Well, don't you need special glasses too, or so like lasers you can't mess around with lasers 3d printing you you need some stuff but lasers you need like properly rated shit or you will burn your eyes out potentially right like so they have like different glass for the laser version of it to enclose it because there are these laser cutter enclosures and they usually have it x tool is like the example of the laser cutter uh company manufacturer that makes the laser cutter that we have it's not that this is a bad idea to have it It's just like, why?
46:07Because they only had the other, well, they had that and then the smaller, cheaper version of it. But it's like two nozzles would have been great. It would have been perfect if it just jumped one nozzle. Two nozzles! Yeah, everyone would have been like, ah! But they were like, and also it can do laser. It doesn't have to have a laser cutter, but it's also just like, feel like it's doing too much. I did. I did always think, I've just only recently actually got into 3D printing, but I've always been a fan. And I always felt like I get why they think the overlap of people who are into 3D printing and people who would use a laser cutter is probably pretty substantial, right?
46:41Because if you're making stuff, if you're a maker, you probably would like both of those tools if you could have them. But if you're a maker who cares enough to have either a 3D printer or a laser cutter in your arsenal of stuff, you probably want pretty specific things, I guess I thought. and those this is like this gives the vibes of that thing you know it's like a made-for-tv product where it's like it slices it dices it peels it juliennes it but and it's like well it does all of those things kind of shitty doesn't it like because because it's not any one of those things doesn't it do all of them pretty half-assed compared to like what a dedicated laser cutter would be doing or i don't know it just seems it also just feels dangerous i 3d printing i have no fierce about and i know there's fumes and you have to be a little you have to be kind of careful and think about but laser lasers is just a whole other level of like i would not invite that into my house because i don't think i'm careful enough to use laser shit sure it's all safe and enclosed but that's that's a good pandering answer because you know i love that shit and you know i have bamboo labs products big fan let's talk about the big one duct tape duct tape is used to build tools duct tape and dungeon crawler carls use to build bombs duct tape can fix your car duct tape can build your house duct tape can patch your wounds duct tape is the glue that holds the earth itself together i'm convinced if another meteor hits will patch up the hole with duct tape that's what will keep us all around because duct tape is there a more important like if you think about getting stuck on an island is there an item other than like food or water that you could think that have more use than duct tape.
48:22I'm trying not to let my personal feelings about duct tape get in the way here because I love duct tape. Yeah, same, but like it's got infinite uses. I think the thing here is this might be the one and only product in existence where I think you're right. It's doing a lot, but I don't think you could say it's doing too much because I think it does everything good enough. But that's where it's scary. It does do too much because we rely on it it's good though it is until it goes away the problem with all this stuff is like well i wouldn't want to use it for toothpaste that's gross every duct tape use is like yeah you can use duct tape for that i would work like you you know it might not be as good as what you're supposed to use but that would work fine duct tape would work fine for our purposes duct tape always works i can't think of a situation where i'm like oh well i wouldn't want to use duct tape for that but we become too reliant on it no but that's not the problem ever goes away we're It won't.
49:21If we lose all of human history, duct tape will be one of the first things that we reinvent because that's how we'll invent every other thing. Let's hope. But duct tape itself as the brand trademark C circle TM, we rely way too much. Okay. Well, if we're going to talk about brands, that gets really complicated. Okay. Are you talking about the brand of duct tape that is put out by like 3M or are you talking about the brand? Oh, I'm talking about Mr. Duct himself. duck tape the brand whose mascot is a duck this is don't get me started on brands of don't even get me started on gorilla tape which some might argue is a superior version of duck tape are gorillas superior to ducks i don't know i think that that's a complicated issue duck tape's uses i agree are great but i think it is useful for too much and we are too reliant on duck tape because if duck tape ever becomes like intelligent and leaves the planet and we have no more duck tape Then what are we gonna do mark you're unbiased does he get a point for that one?
50:21Ah man, I can see it both ways because yeah, it's Because I bet the manufacturer is like hey, this is for ducts We made its duct tape, but everyone in the world's like you can use it for repairing your boat Waterproofing you can put up your walls broken nose duct tape annoying kid duct tape It's it's one of those things where it's like is it really the fault of the manufacturer? or is it are they complicit i think they're complicit i think they have adopted it i think it's fair to say that that clearly they originally didn't but they are obviously now duct tape probably has a thing on their website that's like it has 500 uses or more stick it i stick that shit on everything frank's duct tape frank's red duct tape don't put it on your skin don't put it on your skin anything else but don't fuck don't put it on your all right i'm confused how exactly to spell it when I write it down.
51:15P-D-U-C-K-T. The P is silent. P-D-U-C-K-T. Huh? P-D-U-C-K-K. Alright, I got another one. It's a bit niche, but, you know, mine are always gonna be tech-based because of tech guy. So, uh, there's a camera out there. Not talking about GoPro, I swear to fuck. There's something called a Ronin 4D, right so the ronin 4d is probably the textbook definition of doing too much it i have it i have it because i was like this seems like super cool oh man it could be the future it could the oh this is the perfect camera it definitely is an example of doing too much it's not only a cinema camera It's a built-in gimbal with a Z-axis lidar with like hand grips from focus wheels.
52:11And it can autofocus with the lidar. And it can have all this transmission out. And it seems like on its surfaces, wow, this is really great. But the more and more I have gone down this cinema road, I have realized that there is a prohibitive nature to grabbing that camera when all I need is a shot. For most of film production, or at least stuff that I do, the shots that I sometimes prefer are just on a tripod. It's bold that I just enter the movie sphere and I'm like, I get to have opinions here, but I feel like I do a little bit. I feel like not every shot needs motion. Not every shot needs to push in i really like the pov where something is bolted on to a car right where it's fixed stuck there not moving it even gets a little shake from the car too i don't need a perfectly smooth yada yada all the time there are times when you need it there are times when you definitely need it and the camera is like it shoots good i haven't really shot and used that much from it because again it's like really hard to get all set up and every all the bells and whistles working and you know i often find myself just not using it because of that but it's useful there's a need for it but it's like it's just doing too much it's trying to do all the things and it's super limiting in the number of lenses that you can use on it because it's like it has to be light enough to fit on there so it's doing all this stuff and you still can't really use yeah it has interchangeable lenses but the for people who don't have pictures in front of you or our listeners this is basically a camera imagine a camera as like i don't know like this right but bigger a cinema camera is kind of like this GoPro it's bigger but the lens is a thing you can interchange on most nice cameras but this camera would be like if this GoPro thing existed but then the lens was like up here and so there's like the main body of the camera but then the lens is maybe like a quarter the size of the main camera body but it's like because it's gimbal yeah but so you can having an interchangeable lens on that would basically be like constantly well every time you change it you change the counter balance of the thing that balancing gimbals is such a huge fucking pain in the ass when you're using gimbaled stuff i assumed it was like a fixed lens like a very they have their own lenses but they only have like five and it's like it can auto calibrate to what it is but it's like i wouldn't want to use those lenses anyway because they're kind of on the cheaper side and the lighter side and yes with gimbals you have to rebalance but these motors aren't strong enough to take the big lenses so it's like you would need a stronger gimbal anyway to do a lot of this stuff i feel like you're doing as much setup but with the limitations and yes for certain people this is like oh it's great like for them but also it is doing too much that is a very niche but very interesting uh one i like that well and when i didn't realize this was a camera isn't ronin also a line of dji gimbals in general yes isn't that just like they make us i don't know if it's a set or or whatever like a series of products but it's a different thing right yes so they have their Ronin series of gimbals.
55:21This is the Ronin cinema camera. They have the RS series, which is the smaller form factor, but they've kind of scaled it up. But also they have the cinema standard is the Ronin two is like for most productions. They're like the Ronin two is the stabilizer to use for smaller productions or whatever. Um, but they haven't updated that in like 10 years. There's no Ronin three. Uh, there's an RS five now, I think, but I don't know. It's a whole thing it's like you know that particular camera and i can say this because i have it and i'm like i find myself i'm probably going to sell it because it's just like i do not use it enough to justify it wait give me something weird spray bottles expound yeah i made this expression listeners so you have a bottle you put liquid in it right you spray spray water water your plants you spray poison you can kill plants you put in good smelling sprays good smelling sprays make your house smell good you put in i don't know acid and sprays the one to melt them it sounds crazy but you could you know what's crazy about the spray bottle is liquid as long as it doesn't melt the bottle goes in it what's in the bottle hope it's labeled oh you're reusing it afterward guess it's not labeled now hope i remember five years from now what i put in there for the niche use that it had so spray bottles they can be used for too much because there's too many variances of liquids could be.
56:44Is it acidic? Is it base? Is it somewhere in between? Does it smell good? Does it smell bad? Does it keep things alive? Does it kill things? I don't know. Really hope me with my really shit memory remembers what I was using this particular spray bottle for. How thoroughly do I have to clean the bottle if I want to go from poison to live? I think maybe just don't go that direction. Yeah, I think maybe you just, if you just have one that's like, that's the poison one. Maybe that's. I see you're relying on someone with a good memory or the labels. And again, if you can reuse spray bottles, then the labels don't mean anything because you can empty it out and then you just have an empty bottle empty quote unquote besides all the murderous residue that lies inside waiting for the right moment to escape when you can i counterpoint this because i think like i you know i've kind of been on your side for the other ones i might i might say i have a better spray based thing that is actually doing too much garden hose sprays why they got all those other dial settings that I don't use because the spray bottle, it's got two, it's well, three, maybe it's got on narrow and wide.
57:48And I'm like, I could see uses for all of and off. And it's got, I could see uses for all those. Well, some of them have like the array of like little bigger as you go. Well, that's, that's what I'm talking. Like the garden hose spray has like, I only use two, the lot of liquid or the far liquid or the wide liquid. That's all I need. I need to, I need to go this. I need to go all the way over there or I need to garden hose. I have thumb or no thumb Man's man's never owned a sprayer the garden hose sprayer Some of the deluxe version have like 40 settings and I gotta click all the way through all of them Meanwhile, my petunias are getting doused by every form of water There is and before I get to the one I need because the the the one I need is only the opposite dial of the other one But see you have to hit some like plants with the real light spray but some of the trees that really just want to know if they can take it, you have to hit with the harder spray.
58:41So it makes sense. That's what I'm saying. Those are the only ones I need. I need, I need mist. The harder one? Mist, shower, laser. Lasers! Laser! And then open the damn gates. Flood, you know, that's the four I need. Maybe there's one more, but there's way too many dial setting. Don't forget the fire hose. That's what I mean. The goosher. It does feel like someone was given that assignment and the guy, whoever assigned it was like, give me eight sprays. And they were like, well, aren't there really like three tops, like maybe four? And his boss was like eight sprays tomorrow on my desk. And the guy was like, OK, well, you got the ones everyone knows.
59:26And then what if there was cone? but see this is tangential because like the direction and shape of the spray versus what you're actually spraying are related but they're two different things yeah i guess i was jumping on marks because i i'm having a hard time with the spray bottle argument i feel like especially if you're talking about using up something that came in a spray bottle you use the bottle of windex the windex is gone and then you keep that and you're like well i put poison in this windex bottle how am i supposed to maybe you're not a person who's supposed to be multi-purposing these things maybe once the windex is gone wade should throw away the spray bottle i feel like this isn't about the personal use this is about the product and the product allows reuse at some point it's on you to know your limitations it's not the spray bottle's fault the spray bottle is not trying to be everything does the bottle say get rid of after emptying i don't think it says that on there probably are you kidding me most almost every product says please discard if damaged or when done using or whatever right because like for liability i'm sure not in the title it just says windex oh so if you didn't read it it doesn't say it i forgot about that okay like the thing about spray bottles is they can do a lot but also that's that's on you they're not windex is not like and And when you're done, fill it with hyaluronic acid and use it to spray your skincare regimen onto your...
1:00:53What about the non-labeled bottles you buy that are just empty bottles? You rip off the bottles of them or they come empty? Well, they sell... I own some of those. They sell unlabeled bottles. Those are usually for a purpose. You know what my unlabeled bottles are for? I have one that I mix my floor cleaning solution into because I have a big jug of floor cleaner that you're supposed to mix into a smaller thing. and I have one that I mix dish soap into because dish soap is really inconvenient to use unless it's diluted with water and then you could spray it on the counter and clean whatever but I don't have like 30 spray bottles with ran I don't go to the cabinet be like let's pick a mystery spray and spray it on some stuff let's see what happens what about the spray bottle that is actually a nozzle you hook up to a hose in order to spray the water and the product at the same time combining the two things that mark and i are talking about no i i get i'm now on wade's side if if you can also entertain another in this okay keep expounding yes yes i think electrical sockets are doing too much you can plug anything into it i can plug a a hedge trimmer a toaster a kilomatic 9000 i i would be a fork i could eat a fork i could plug it right in it's doing too much.
1:02:11I agree, Wade. There's nothing on the plug that says don't plug in the nuclear explosion right into there. You know, the overload the nuclear reactor nearby plug that I have. Don't ask me where I got it, but that's not doing too much. Very specific use for that. And then I plug it in and I'm dead and everyone's dead, you know? And don't even get me started on the fact that you go over to Europe and it's a different shaped outlet that does the same thing. And then you've got the adapter. It's like, oh, I've got to plug in my Australia plug. My Germany plug. My US plug. My Antarctica plug. You're winning me over.
1:02:46You're winning me over. If we can entertain one more, you know what else? It is doing the exact same kind of way too much. Yeah, yeah. Vehicles. You can take vehicles anywhere in the known universe. Excuse me? You could drive a car on the road, sure, on your driveway, in your garage, on the bottom of the ocean. What? Troops into battle, oversized load on the highway, carry an actual another vehicle, carry 10 other vehicles Some people sleep in them Can you imagine? Me, me, honk me, me, me in a car Cars think that their house is now Hold all those dirty ass soccer kids that are covered in mud You know who else is doing too much?
1:03:27The James Webb telescope It thinks it can look at anything in the universe It can point anywhere Whoa man, just looking It's not even just one light spectrum It's multiple light spectrums I think when you come to infinite You are definitely doing too much You know what I'm saying? You know what else? The human body does way too much Reproduces, it eats, it poops It pisses, it vomits Makes earwax, it spits The appendix Can we talk about that? What the fuck? What are you doing there? It just dies, that's all it does You know what else is doing too much? Electrons Those little bastards are everywhere.
1:04:07They're in pretty much everything. Like, I think. Almost everything. Every element on the table, you're like, oh, they got different numbers. It's electrons all the way through. It's doing all of it. It's trying to be everything. They don't even know where it is. It's in orbitals. Oh, it's an orb. It gets excited. I don't want to know about that. Swiss army knife. One, thought you were neutral. Why do you have an army? Two, you're a bottle opener. You're a wide opener, you're whittling, you're cutting, you're stabbing, you're twisting, you're a bop it of murder for a country that's like, we love peace or whatever, and jeez, I don't know what you're doing over there, Swiss.
1:04:43I'm so glad you brought it up. Bop it, not the three version, the five version. The five version. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ridiculous. It was already hard enough. You had infinite difficulty escalation with speed going up on the original bop it. You do not need five. I don't need to twist it. I definitely don't need to Flick it. Big enough twist that I'm glad you brought that up. Condoms. Are condoms there to stop pregnancy? Are they ribbed for her pleasure? Are they juiced for your pleasure? Are they liquefied for don't feel it? Are they extra solid for like made of wood? Tell me about these condoms.
1:05:18Not bringing you distractible condoms. Ever wanted to not feel it? Liquid. It's just a bottle. Comes in a spray bottle because they can do anything. Spray on condom? Why don't we just use duct tape? Ah, the unremovable condom. I like that. No mistakes here. Ever wanted to feel like you were fucking an air duct? Get it, distractible man! Condoms. And it's okay! You can just poke a hole so you can pee! Wait, don't you hit it when you're having sex and you're like, I gotta go to the bathroom. Just use your Swiss Army knife penis hole poker and just hit it with the old pop. It's the round, curly one.
1:05:54That's the one you want. Penises do do too much. You got your bladder evacuation and reproduction. Nonsense. And speaking of the little curly, talk about ducks. Those things are terrifying. All right, man. Well, no, everyone knows about duck penises. You don't know about duck penises, Mark? I know. I know. Why do you know about that? We covered everything. We covered everything. That's everything, man. Yeah, I think that was, I didn't know if we were going to be able to get through all of it but i think we pretty much covered everything that is uh doing too much don't do anything with this information uh you know keep keep using you know whatever products you normally use it's fine uh now that we've solved that problem that everyone in the world was so concerned about uh let's let's see who got points for what i don't know what some of these things mean wade in no particular order you got points for not caring about james wait won't be get it won't be invited back which i think you said to mark which made him sad uh apple jam jokes very funny not having a car still is this this episode i don't remember yeah iron lung jesse getting cider drunk off of one cider uh frank's red hot duct tape uh spray bottles james webb telescope human bodies bop it of murder for a total of 11 points for wade mark when did i not care about james i I don't remember that.
1:07:18I was so long ago, I don't remember. But it was in Smalltalk. I don't remember either, yeah. Mark, you earned points for commanding Sam in a firm but respectful way. Being sad about GoPro for no apparent reason. Can't remember what that was about. Lying about your trip to Apple being wonderful so that you could stay friends with Tim Apple. Showing your cool picture from Reddit to Tim Apple. Making me jealous because of the Apple stuff. You, we didn't talk about this, but I gave you a point because I thought it was impressive. Your car was 6 foot 6 You were too tall to go somewhere Mark that must have felt pretty good It felt awkward actually You got a point for being a bad YouTuber You got a point for pointing out that the Bamboo Lab H2D was doing too much Ronin 4D Electrons and the Boppet Extreme Which somehow the Boppet of murder Came up first about the Swiss Army knife and that led to Mark Getting a point for the Boppet Extreme But anyway, in a real shocker Mark, you earned a total of 12 points It's not at all because I was jealous That you got to do some really cool stuff this week And it's because you earned it, Mark I think that the flaw of having a lot of things happen in life Is that Wade can earn points on small talk too So if I don't come in with confident small talk Then if anyone makes a joke about it I think that's an opportunity for points So I'm strategizing for the future It's good to do that out loud in front of your opponents He'll forget, don't worry you're right uh let's see how many spins we're going to spin man the bar in the wheel man my my horrible streak continues all right there's chance two two is a good number for today one goes to bob one goes to me and we have a tie uh i am adding to this wheel oh i i didn't really come up with this i will say i had my notes like the person who did too much this episode but that feels like one of those ones where every time it comes up we're gonna be like i don't really know if anyone did too much this time i don't know if that counts and i want it to be one that actually hits so just to just to make the small talk a little bit more uh meaningful on the points point for whoever had the most small talk just has to be voluminous most small wait that's confusing small talk there you go most small hello so mark is winning 12 to 11 we have two spins All right, I'm tying it up right here.
1:10:08plus and pro plans.
1:10:14Waboom! Live points absolute. Alright, that's still good for me. So that counts as a spin and nobody had any live points, yeah? Yep. Alright. Tie it up right here. Let's not. Don't do that. Woo-hoo! My ass! My ass! My ass! My ass! That's why I always pay attention to what's coming up. My ass! He still hasn't said it so I feel like it has to go to mark my reading comprehension the why and the top was cut off I was like sav my ass I'll save I'll save your ass. I was like save my ass. Oh say Mark going my ass my ass my ass my ass didn't give you any hints Well, it did but by the minute it was too late So I just accepted the L but uh I'm just trying to figure out why my brain thought the first why was a V and the second one was a why when they looked exactly the say i'll say look at my ass just in case i was part of the rule i don't think it was but just if if some obscure redditor out there is like it was supposed to be about say look at my you know what the thing about that is mark is we don't give a shit right that's true before we get into the loser speeches and wrap up the episode did you guys want to take a look at the bounty board or anything did anyone have a bounty they want to cash in any any bounty actions today we have one of those now we have a bounty board it's on the oh it's on the reddit you don't go on so i I guess that's okay.
1:11:34I'll take a look at that. Yeah, I've got so many to turn in. I'm gonna save them though. I honestly, I have plans already to execute on a few of these, but I have, I don't have one today. I'm the host. So it kind of a waste anyway, but I'm excited by the bounty board. Keep putting stuff out there. Check out the thread on the subreddit because I probably have some. Also, no one has taken the initiative. If you want us to spend the budget, the$600 a month allocation, we're going to need to see some democracy in the subreddit. Okay. I would like to see a discussion thread. I would like to see some proposals set forth.
1:12:08I would like to see maybe some votes taken. I don't know. We're not just going to willy-nilly do stuff, though. I need to see some consensus building, all right? I want to see some allies out there making stuff happen, because I do want to do that. It's not just on us. Okay, this is our show, comrades. Yes. All that stuff I said. I think we should build that in as like every episode We should do a little check in on the bounty stuff Just to see also that's the point where If someone was going to cash in a bounty and steal The episode that feels like the moment Where it's like ah five points for me And then you or whatever we decided last Time it was like one point or two points right Yeah I can't remember where the cutoff was No bounty stuff today tonight Today whatever the f Wait loser speech I want to throw out I think we forgot to do speeches Last episode but I think that's because we were just having a we were having a real talky episode so it was it's fine people were mentioning that on the subreddit it's fine i think it's fine acknowledging that it happened but like i think we're all cool with that over here so therefore you're cool with it you know it's been it's been nice getting outside it was nice having the last episode where we got to open up a bit it was nice hearing uh about mark's uh crazy life again in some ways i'm like oh man i'm jealous i'd love to do all that stuff at the same time i'm like you know just getting outside and like going to the pool.
1:13:23Being, I don't know, just simple things I'm getting some enjoyment out of. Trying to just break the monotony of being here at the computer all the time. So honestly, it might be a loss of an episode, but it's been a win of a week and hopefully that continues and things are all in the ups for everybody. Just, you know, my loser speech, just pushing the good vibes and we all have some good vibes. Thanks loser. Mark, winner speech. Well, well, well, this is completely unexpected. Who would have thought that me would reign victory over there with my interesting, interesting life, with all the things that I'm doing, with the special groups that I'm part of when I go to these special events that is actually very special.
1:13:59And just because I wasn't with all the other YouTubers doesn't mean that I'm not special. It makes me more special, I think. Because I've ascended beyond being just a YouTuber. I am now a filmmaker, and so I'm on another level entirely. And this victory solidifies all of that. I will use my, uh, Judicial ability abilities to change the word abilities to ability first second to Make sure that my my titles are respected and I will have a herald using the Funds appropriated by our Congress to buy me a herald to announce my arrival in every action Like much like a king not saying I'm okay, but you know you just buy people named Harold.
1:14:38Yeah, it's my speech I'm not done excuse you Sam. Please expunge him from the universe Sam you're sponging me he's an X-Punge Alright okay so I'm done he's ascended beyond YouTuber he's now super tuber now he's a me tuber Congratulations Spark you will be the host of the next episode everyone make sure you follow all of us but possibly most importantly the show on like platforms and stuff Marcus Mark Flyer wait is Lord Minion 777 I am my skirm the show is distractible We have a YouTube channel We're on all your podcast platforms Use to subscribe Hit the plus, whatever, follow the show Make sure you check out the merch, distractible Shop.shop Store Distractible shop.shop store, comma Distractible.store No, it's shop, I was wrong Fuck If you want to get merch, you have to move really quickly Because it comes and goes fast Thank you everyone for buying all the merch Thank you for listening to this episode Mark is going to host the next one.
