Going Nuclear

32:50I think that that's a sign that society is progressing down to where we want to be. And until we get there again, I don't think that any of us can complain too much. You know what I mean? You get what I'm saying here? You understand what I'm getting at, what I'm stabbing at? You picking up what I'm stabbing? You stabbing what I'm stabbing? I'm stabbing it. I'll stab it with you. Okay, stab me. I'll stab you. Oh, oh, oh. Sam, where'd you even get that video of me stabbing Mark? Wow, look at all these different angles of him stabbing Mark. That's crazy. Whoa. We got a 4D Gaussian splat of me getting stabbed by Bob.

33:28Holy shit. Wait, we have a slow-mo angle from the knife's perspective. Oh my god, we've got the Minority Report psychic future view of Bob stabbing me. Dream sequence and everything? Wow, Sam, where'd you get that? That's crazy shit. That's production value right there. There's me as the dead wife under the bed sheets before I got stabbed. I don't know whose perspective we're looking at. I guess Amy's. What happened exactly? Hold on, where's the... I thought it was just you and Bob. Where's the wife come from? No, no, it's from Amy's perspective. So Amy's not in this. It's just me under the sheets.

34:01Ha ha ha ha ha. You know, the dead wife thing? Yeah. No, that's a thing. You can't act like I'm crazy. It doesn't seem like he knows. Everybody knows the dead wife thing Everybody knows the dead wife thing Yeah I can't tell if you're doing that just to piss him off Or if you actually sincerely have no idea We'll never know So back to nuclear or nuclear if you prefer I don't I don't either I guess what we're saying is If you're a watcher or a listener and you say nuclear But also good for you The noise For those listening Bob made a slight smirk As he gave that one light giggle They know what that noise means You don't have to explain my noises It was so light I barely even heard it That's the sound my ass makes after I ate too much Skyline No no that's wetter Aww Anyway let's get back to discussing how nuclear reactors function Right right right Wait can I talk about I meant to talk about this During small talk but Because there was something that was so funny That happened on my journeys And it's not necessarily The main point of my small talk but I met some fans Right So many things happening uh someone spotted me through my um through my mask which i'm like hey if you manage to get me through that like you it's totally fine i usually do in the airport both because i've never really no one cared who you were till you took off the mask exactly just like that that's that's what it was uh so i say hi i take a picture and we go our separate ways they were very nice um and they were even very nice afterwards uh and they posted the picture on the subreddit and it got tons of tons of votes for some reason.

35:36But in the comments of this, it's really funny because it just shows like some people's psychic perceptions, psychological perceptions of reality get distorted in some way because I don't know, it might be a joke, but someone's like set a comment is like, he's surprisingly average in height, blah, blah, blah. And the person responded, I'm 5 '9 and my friend is around the same height. He was shorter than us both, LOL. And I'm like, you posted the picture of us and in the picture i'm taller than both of you literally uh that was so nice of them to bend down to make you look taller i know that's what someone said like oh so kind of you to bend down so low for this but i'm like literally in the photo you posted i'm taller than both of you like what did why why would you do this to me commenter comes or original poster comes back And it's like, yeah, it's weird.

36:32Mark actually carries around his own Apple box to stand on for fan pictures. He's not as tall as he appears in this photograph. Got to make sure you explain it accurately. It's happened more than once. And you guys know, I'm not a tall guy. I never claimed to be a tall guy. But I am comfortably average in height. And it's just because you freaks make me look tiny. And no one understands how gigantic you both are. You both are like in the 99th percentile of height. And I was like, there's no way both of them can be that tall. He's got a beauty, beauty microscopic. And I'm like, yo! I mean, it's pretty unlikely that you'd have two such a freakishly tall friends.

37:09It is. Isn't that weird? Almost like it couldn't be so. And also like the other people in our friend group that are weirdly tall and above average. You know, I think Jesse is actually the same height as all of you guys. He's also six foot four for some fucking reason. In Cincinnati, they put something in the chili that I didn't get. I don't know. maybe I was destined to be 5 '1", but I ate the chili and I grew 9 inches. It's just like, I feel. You didn't get the big boy three-way? Did you just get the normal one? Actually, I didn't start eating Skyline until later, so maybe that was my problem.

37:39That's the thing, yeah. That's the thing. That's your mistake. Ignore the fact that I grew up in a different city. Nuclear-powered dildos. Nuclear-powered... Side tangent. Mark's fan... Whoa, what the fuck? Wait, your fan meetup triggered this memory in my head. Whoa, hold on a second. You can't go from nuclear powered dildos to, oh, this reminds me of you, Mark. Well, no, no. Before we get to the dildos. Before the dildos. Okay. Alright. Okay. Nothing to do with the dildos. Uh-huh. Wink. Molly and I were flying back, and apparently there's no direct flights from Richmond to Cincinnati, so we had to fly to Atlanta there.

38:13We had to fly to Detroit on the way back here. While in Detroit, we decided we wanted to get food, and the food place Molly and I decided on was like, we were in B terminal. This was in like the very end of A terminal, which I didn't know until I was getting there. It was a long walk. So we walked to our gate and we're drop off our bags. Like, hey, Molly, Molly said she'd sit with the bags while I go get food. And on the way, we're on one of those like little moving escalator platform sidewalk, whatever they call moving sidewalk. I don't know what the term is. Speedifiers. There's a guy on the phone looking out a window and he is just yelling and he's screaming and he's cursing into his phone.

38:48And as we approach, like people nearby are all watching this guy and he's getting more and more just like animated more and more angry and we're like that's gonna be a problem they're gonna someone's gonna come do something about that because like there's kids nearby this guy's just dropping f-bombs like he's on this podcast get to the gate set my stuff down go back guy is still cursing more people are kind of like watching seeing like hey something terrible about to happen don't want to miss it something horrible happened in his life i don't know but he's very angry at whoever he's on the phone with.

39:21I keep going. I get past them. I'm walking. It feels like a half an hour excursion to go get food. And Molly texts me updates like, hey, police came and talked to the guy. But now there's a lady who missed her flight. Very upset. She's like, I'm supposed to be first class. I blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And you can't do this to me because they wouldn't let her board after the plane apparently had already left. I guess they were supposed to hold the whole plane up for her and she was late or something. I don't know. That does make it tricky. So police calmed the guy down. They're keeping an eye on him, but they've calmed him down.

39:49Now they're back talking to this lady. I get the food. I come all the way back. I get on one of the moving sidewalk things. And actually, there's the two police officers with that lady going right by me. Like, oh, well, I guess at least they whatever's happening. They're handling that. Get back, start eating food. We eat. I put on my headphones. I go back to watching my regularly scheduled Chernobyl on my tablet. And Molly like taps me and I look up and there's the two police officers just standing there smiling like arms crossed looking at me and i'm like hello uh hi they're like are you wade and i was like who's asking yes uh like dude we are such big fans and i was like oh thank god oh every because everyone in our like sitting areas like looking at me they're like these police officers have had to take care of two problematic people here already is this guy ground zero who is this mystery bald man so like i get up i take a picture with them they're very nice uh i'm like i was like oh thank god i didn't know what you guys were like i didn't know i don't know anything i didn't see what happened i take the picture and you know they head off and people are just staring i'm like don't worry just youtube i'm not actually important and i put my headphones back on and go back to watching but like i was the center of attention for a moment that's the first time that's happened and i see like them like go down one of the employee only staircases they get in their car because we're sitting in front of the window and they drive off so i think they saw me on a camera and drove back over to come say hi which is cool but headphones on after all these events looking up and just see like two cops staring at me I was like whatever it was I just got food I just got food I'm watching watching shows like Chernobyl it scared the shit out of me I was like I don't oh god what'd I do I didn't do anything wrong I swear Wade you get the segue point for my current story oh great I can contribute to this fans recognizing us in places where it's a whole situation this was another one where it's really attention I didn't want but it was it's not a huge deal it's just funny now we went to king's island and anyone who is large in the way that i am large knows the uncertainty that comes with roller coasters we went to king's island and we were like all right let's go on a coaster and literally like was talking to mandy and her brother about like all right so which coasters are like comfortable would be okay for me as a very like large even if you're just tall those roller coasters are tough so we we debated and it was like okay we're gonna go on this one we're gonna go on the what used to be the uh italian job one and is now just called like stunt coaster or something uh and we wait in line and we get all the way up there i they don't have like a test seat so i have no idea if i'm gonna fit we get all the way to the front they we it's our turn we're going to get in and anyone who's a fat guy like me has had this experience where like i get in and i pull it and it goes like click click click and i'm like okay it clicked a bunch and the guy comes over and is like ah i can't see i have to see this line for and i'm like okay yeah yeah click one more is that good and he's like nah nah it needs like a few more still it's like step on it i'll suck in my god you step on it and literally this guy's like all right man and just like and i'm like yeah do it do it this is gonna be great i'll survive and like if they do it and it clicks a couple more times and finally he calls his buddy over and they look and they're like no, we have to see the line clearly past this.

43:04It's that's not enough. And I'm like, all right, I'm too fat. And the way they build roller coasters, of course, they can't just unbuckle me and be like, all right, you off. They're like, all right, everybody, we're going to have to unbuckle your seatbelts or just stay in your seats. There's just a really big fat guy up at the front of the roller coaster is not going to fit. So just pull it right back down and we'll just make him leave while you do that. And so it was like, everything opens and everyone's kind of like, oh, what? I climb out. And as I'm like trying to climb out really awkward and feeling bad about myself, the guy who was stepping on my lap bar to try and make me fit was like, wait a minute.

43:46Are you Bob? Literally, we were at the front of the train in front of everyone else. And he's like, are you Bob for Distractable? Guys, this is Bob. I was like, cool. Yeah, cool. Hey, do you want to make these people wait while we take a picture really quickly? You go to everybody, you're like, all right, everybody, bust out your coins. Time to start flipping.

44:12Suffice to say, he didn't ask for a picture, but we didn't take one. I just like ran away like, I'm not him. Ran and hid somewhere in my shame. But what a moment for someone to just be like, wait, I know you. Look, everybody. Another annoying ass thing about those roller coasters, they do put them like super tight on you. When you're big, like it goes all like it's in your gut. But a lot of the way that they release is they don't just pop up. You have to push down more for it to release. Oh, God. Oh, God. I've seen like people have to have like the things fucking removed because they put it so tight on you.

44:50And when they come around, they push down. They're like, don't give a fuck if it's already tight on you. And it's like and then you go to get off the thing. and it's like guys help they're like oh don't worry but sometimes they can't get it in far enough so they have to come and fucking like disassemble the goddamn thing to get you out it's the best it's the best yeah because those things are built for like you know i guess kids and if you have to be able to fit kids and people i don't know up to really tall but they're built for mark-sized humans hey i was about to say yeah i never have these problem guys i i hate to say it but imagine being average.

45:24I don't remember what the rule is for insulting Mark, but Bob, you've got two points for Mark insults already. That wasn't an insult. He's average. I didn't call him short at all. I said he's average. Why is that an insult, man? That's not a short joke. Yeah, you freaks. You freaks. Fuck, does that mean I insulted him by thinking it was an insult? I think, yeah, you did. Wait a minute, yeah. What the hell, man? All right. I mean, because you got one insult Mark point then. For the pillow rum thing, because that was definitely. Was that targeted? No, that was I was specifically targeting my high school friend, Peter.

45:55I don't know if you listen to the show, Peter, but yes, I remember that you say pillow wrong, Peter. Peter, if you're listening to this, you need to run. Peter, this is you're in a coma. You need to wake up. This is your sign. Hey, Peter, run. Hey, Peter. All right. Well, I gave myself one Mark insult point. Those two combined have to be at least one Mark insult, right? I wasn't targeting Mark at all. the word that marks as funny was not in part of my examples i mean i say room kind of funny apparently it kind of is it's still it's not a room it's room it's gloom the bedroom what are we talking about nuclear bombs clear icbms uh nuclear underpants radioactive you know they used to have radium things to make your water radioactive i just saw uh there used to just straight up be take sure is the only thing about which is this has a shitload of radium in it drink this and you'll get your daily dose of radium which you want yep that's it between that and like lead products like um we were seeing a thing about the diatlov pass i don't know if you guys are familiar with that one where people went like hiking and ended up all being dead or whatever and then there was uh did they solve the diatlov pass mystery ultimately they concluded like five or six years ago there was like a a guy that went out and said yes they think what ended up happening was there was an avalanche like a minor a minor avalanche that came down and hit the tent which is like usually the precursor to a bigger avalanche so i think that the people burst out of the tent to run away thinking there was another avalanche but since there wasn't a bigger one they were just out there fucking freezing to death because they didn't get all their stuff in time because they were running thinking there's gonna be an avalanche they tried building like a little campfire or hiding under like some some rock structure ended up collapsing Ultimately hypothermia and they for all froze to death or got crushed by shit to death Thinking they were escaping an avalanche that never came Couldn't be me I have this regular thought experiment I'm like okay what if I was transported into the Siberian wilderness Like boom I'm naked in the middle of the frozen tundra What do I do?

47:58And the answer shockingly isn't die immediately I figure away You figure away? Non-specifically I figure it out Once I watch enough Outdoor Boys YouTube channel videos, I'll know exactly what to do. Nothing makes your brain move faster than the cold, right? Yeah. I absolutely have that same confidence. I've never once started a fire without the aid of like a lighter and flammable shit. I would definitely figure it out. I would, within the first few hours, I would have camp set up. I would have enough shelter with some kind of fire that I would survive, that I'd have to work out food because you have to figure out the food situation.

48:36but that's not as immediately pressing as dying of exposure. So yeah, I figured I see what you're saying. I figured it out. I was thinking of the Franklin expedition, which was like 160 odd years ago. So 10 cans used to not be 10 cans. They were lead cans and a lot of food. So they had this long expedition where they were trying to find a trade route through like the Arctic, all of their meals. They were like eating out of lead cans, which, you know, how good lead is for you. And then they got stuck in the ice and a bunch of shit went wrong. and they all died whatever how have you but like yeah lead we used to eat lead we're just like oh lead paint lead cans lead i know about this because i went to norway and so you get it from the norwegian perspective of the people they were racing to find like an arctic path and then the first to the south pole is also another part of that and every time from the norwegian's perspective was just like yeah and then the british really fucked up there they did not know what they were doing at all and it's like especially to the south pole one where it's like the norwegian expedition is like oh it's such a race it's very arduous you know they have to send people back all the time and they get there and they're first they plant their flag from the british perspective it's like and then 13 people died on the first leg and then they shot all their horses on the second leg and then they lost another person and there were four people left to climb the last ridge and one person went there and or uh maybe a few and then they get there and there's already a Norwegian flag after all of their people died and their horses are dead.

50:02They did not make it back. They all died. So yeah, from the Norwegian perspective, Franklin's Lost Expedition does not surprise me. I'm curious what we're going to find. I'm sure something with fast food will come out in like 200 years where they're like, these fuckers voluntarily went and spent their money eating this poison? Plastics. It's definitely microplastics, yeah. At least we're aware, you know, but there's probably something we're not aware of, right? I'm already like 18 % microplastic. When I die, I'm either going to be buried or recycled. I'm too much plastic to be cremated. I'm bad for the environment.

50:35That's true. Sadly, you can't recycle plastic. Can't you? Well, you can, but they don't. I've been so disheartened because when I get my trash collected, I see them pick up the garbage can, throw it in the back, and then I see them pick up the recycling can, throw it in the same spot, and I go, oh, man. Maybe there's a... There's like a divider. And I still I still separate my recycle I still do it even though I know what's Happening to it there I'm still like I'm Doing my part I can't Imagine not I know that it's not This is just like a privilege thing because I Grew up in a in a better Off neighborhood and whatever I grew up where I Grew up I grew up we had recycling Like my whole childhood as far as I remember So literally the way you take the trash Out is you separate out the recycling and Take it out and you have two bins and that it's always been like that and i can't i can't even imagine not because because i like you i'm sort of disillusioned about the state of industrial recycling and what what they actually do with any of the stuff and that i pay for the extra recycling service seems really stupid but like it's a compulsion how do you put out your trash if you're not separating the recycling and like making sure like oh this is a number one that can go in the recycling that's good okay i have neighbors in the neighborhood I live in now who just have just a trash can.

51:56And my brain is like, what do you just keep your recycling? What do you recycle yourself? My grandparents did that. They would keep the recycling and take it in themselves. They got one of those like can crushers where they just put the cans. I love that. I feel like I would be better off just trying getting a smelter and melting all my aluminum cans down and smelting it, smelting out and I could smelt it into things. Dude, you could you could make your own custom heat sinks, get some kind of mold. Well, you have 3D printers, right? So you could 3D print and then make a sandcast of your 3D print and then use the sand molding to make perfect little shelves.

52:30You can make them with Capri Sun insert slots for cooling. I just melt down the Capri Suns. Do you ever watch Nighthawk in lights videos? They're the person that got me into Glauber's salt. I do not. They made a video about two weeks ago that had a... It's to make flow batteries, and it's not about flow batteries. It kind of tangentially nuclear, so I'll take some points for this. But it's like he's making.

52:59I don't know. That's how this one works. He's making a flow battery and he needs like this sort of graphite material to have like a lot of surface area for the anode and cathode. Right. Of a battery. And it's like there's this extremely expensive material that you can buy in bulk, but it's expensive. But you can make your own using this carbon insulation material that then you strip with some fluid and then put in your microwave kiln and microwave till it's 2000 degrees or something like that. And I'm like, holy shit. This is why I think microwaves don't work the way people say they do, because it's just like he had it in this.

53:35Is that safe to go that high? He had it outside. So it's perfectly fine. But it's just like, I know they say like, oh, it heats up by water molecules vibrating. And that's what heats your food. And I go like, well, then why when you put aluminum foil into it, it turns into plasma. What water molecules are vibrating to do that? And I'm like, I want to make a microwave smelter. Well, I don't know why that wouldn't work. I couldn't tell you why it would work either, but I definitely don't know why it wouldn't work. in Los Angeles, this is probably the best thing I could do. Does not sound like the headline of the next fire that destroys a major residential area at all.

54:16What would you be smelting? Metal. Aluminum cans. I'm recycling. I'm helping the environment. There's only so many things you could smelt at home. You can't be doing high temperature complicated shit. Call me crazy here, but isn't that the one thing you're not supposed to put in a microwave is metal? No, no. They just say that so you don't discover it. It's dangerous if you're not doing it on purpose. It's dangerous because you might do something you're not expecting. Isn't it dangerous if you do it on purpose? It just becomes a plasma. What about that one YouTuber who created like a 20 ,000 watt microwave?

54:51Are you talking about William Osmond? No, StyroPyro. Have you seen his 40, like 400 car battery experiment? Yes. That just literally melts and causes the magnet. It feels so strong. all the wires to the thing. He made a microwave that was unbelievable. He called it a macrowave. Dude, I get nervous just plugging things into the wall. I wouldn't fuck with that. Yeah, well, he seems to not care about that, so maybe you should reevaluate your priorities. I'm a coward. You are a coward. I'll take some points for that. Can I just say, as a... I would never insult Mark. First opportunity, Wade, you fucking bitch.

56:07I know as a completely ignorant non-scientist myself, how the fuck do we have things that are so ubiquitous that we don't understand the technology? Do we sincerely not really understand how microwaves work? Because every house in America definitely has at least one of those bad boys sitting somewhere inside that makes popcorn once every two months at minimum. It's no there it's understood how like the microwaves are generated the wave guide putting them in there the the kind of But like it's not clear how it heats things up or why aluminum becomes plaz Like I know that you've said that but like that's a thing right people are like oh we don't even know how it works completely I think I don't know how it works completely I'm sure there's plenty of scientists that could explain it better than I could It probably does make water molecules vibrate in food.

56:58And then it also does other things depending on the material. Like it might. Scientists explain it to me like I'm a host on Distractable. Whatever intelligence level you think that represents. But that's a that's maybe it's just complicated or hard for normies to understand. You're not the first and or only person I've heard say that, right? It's a common like it's one of those things people just throw out. We're like, ah, we don't even really know how microwaves work. There has to be some amount of truth to that, or maybe we didn't for a long time or something. Obviously not, because they make them so they know how to make the thing that emits the microwaves to begin with, and they contain them, theoretically, so that it's safe to be in your house.

57:37But there's some mystery in it. What's the mystery? You got me, but it makes things hot. It makes a hell of a good pizza roll if you do it right. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you telling me you microwave pizza rolls? Tell me you do this to yourself on purpose What's wrong with that? I find a way to make them better there Than I feel like they come out in the oven Whoa, wrong I know it's a hell of an accusation There's one thing that microwaves don't do It's make anything in the known universe Crispy And that's the only thing I want with my pizza rolls Is a little bit of crispiness If you overcook them in the microwave They do come out crispy And I feel like they're better than when they're in the oven I haven't had pizza rolls since I've gotten an air fryer, but I bet an air fryer would do it really well.

58:23Dude, air fryer's the way. Air fryer's the truth when it comes to pizza rolls. Air fryer's basically just an oven with a fan. It's a convection oven. Yeah. But it's small, so you can put only the amount of food you actually want to eat inside of it. Which is problematic if what you want to eat is 20 chicken wings. 20 chicken wings would fit in my air fryer. You just have to have the right air fryer. I'm hungry, so I still haven't eaten lunch. Nuclear! We've really gone nuclear. We've gone microwave. we've gone Kings Island we've gone plastics I will say I think that modern nuclear technology probably is pretty safe and if it's made not cheaply incorrectly it probably is oh absolutely yeah but like I guess long-term ramifications are like is it safe 500 years from now like does the how how do they replace all the infrastructure I'm sure there's probably a plan hopefully in place also there is nuclear waste and the way that the half-life of nuclear material works is it radiation and shit like that sticks around a while so eventually you're gonna have a lot of waste that's what i was gonna say is i'm not an expert but my understanding is that nuclear power is actually the just as safe as current standards and also like the most environmentally effective version of generating electricity except it does generate nuclear waste and our current solution for that is put in that big fucking mountain and nobody go over there and we'll just hope that never fills all the way up so we could keep putting it in that big mountain that we made um but like yeah assume that at some point in the future someone will invent the whatever device and it will remanufacture nuclear waste into probably puppy food or diapers for babies who knows my baby's ass is glowing is that normal doctor oh so you could change it in the dark without having to turn on the lights and wake your poor baby well i mean okay the thing about nuclear waste is it really doesn't generate that much compared to other energy mediums because nuclear power is so dense compared to other any other form of it so either we put it in one spot in the ground and don't touch it which you know someone could i guess sabotage it or we do what we currently do which is shoot it all in the air like all the byproducts just up why can't we just launch our nuclear waste to the moon oh i thought you said sun uh fancy i do you almost had a smart idea yeah see i guess it would be expensive to put it in a thing that's safe to get through the atmosphere and then also its job is to go explode on the sun it's like restaurants in the 90s we just need to make sure that we're in the non-smoking section of the earth and everyone else can have the nuclear fallout when that happens right maybe yeah actually we just we just put a big non-nuclear sign over america and that'll keep all the nuclear dust out of our atmosphere we just designate some parts of the world as being the ew zone and we'll put all of our ew there.

1:01:14Do we already have that? Isn't it called the ew? We could I had an idea. You can say it. I'll just take my points. I forgot what it was. Is that how this episode works? You just ask for points? He didn't ask. He told. Yeah, yeah. I'll just take them. That's true. Alright, well that's nuclear power everyone. We've done it. We've gone nuclear. The waste. We're just going to launch it into a mountain and if you guys finally want housing to be affordable just buy it near the nuclear waste site i remember why can't we throw it in a volcano that thing you said about it going in the atmosphere i think a volcano would just be a much cooler version of that wouldn't it no you throw it in there it'll melt down see we're putting all of our waste up and then you take a big cork and you go and now it stays in there till it's all gone see this is why science works in teams you got the ideas all build.

1:02:05And then you're pressure cooking it so you can use it again. Yeah, yeah. What if I put it in a can crusher and I put that in my microwave and I turn it into something else? It will become a plasma, which I've heard is a good thing to donate to blood banks, so I assume is a good thing. I got nuclear powered plasma running through my veins. I have at least three days to live. that'd be a long time you kind of don't want that at that point if you get nuclear plasma in your blood now uh one thing i learned is how awful radiation sickness and death is from when you were a problem in the airport and the police interrupted your chernobyl watching yeah i was talking i was like guys listen what if we all just go to chernobyl as one we could all be a cult and the police came up they're like hey we want your photograph like sure that seems normal this This reminds me of a story that I don't think I told.

1:02:59Did I tell when I went from Poland to back to America and we were in line for the security? And then someone walked through these two little pylons and one of them started beeping, right? And it was one of those beeps where I was like, that's a new one. Haven't heard that one before. And everyone goes quiet. And it's quiet for like a minute before this guy, security guard, comes out. And he's got a hand detector for something. And he's waving it like this. Okay. and it's not like clicking like a geiger counter it's beeping and he's just sweeping around looking around everyone's dead silent looking at this guy and he's just and he goes up to someone there's a woman who i thought was like holding a baby and he's holding the thing right up to what i think is a baby and it's going and he just was like just gestures with his finger i'm not hearing any words exchange and it's like they're slowly meandering and what'll happen is this guy keeps waving it as he's going but he's like follow me they go through the pylons it goes beep again and every once in a while he'll stop turn around go to the people that are following him and it's like taking a couple steps at a time he's swinging around come with me and then they left no announcement nothing was said everyone just resumed back into security.

1:04:19No clue what it was. I have no idea. It was at the Poland airport. Anybody know what that was? It's actually just a system they used to keep order. He gets all those people back to the back and they're all terrified and he's like, it's okay. We're just going to look at your passports and then you can go. We just use that to keep the crowds chilled out. Everyone out there is going to be freaked out for the whole rest of the time they're here. It's great. It's actually a detector for full arts, really valuable Pokemon cards. Whenever that went off, the guy knew that she had one. He's like, I got to confiscate this.

1:04:47Kept it in a baby papoose, just like it's just cards all the way down. I had to buy a little like carry-on bag to bring the cards back because our suitcase was already so full going there. I was like, you stuffed a carry-on full of Pokemon cards. You have a problem. Sounds like a federal crime or something. Cross state lines. Did you pay taxes on that? It went through their scanner. They let me through. I guess I could have driven it across state lines and it would have been fine too. That's weird. I hope someone tells us what that meant because now I'm curious. I want to know what that was. I'll take some points for Mark's story.

1:05:20Thanks. Can I get the same? You guys are certainly getting something. Well, it's points, I assume. Any final thoughts on nuclear? I'm going to wrap this one up. I don't know if I had any original thoughts on nuclear, but you're welcome. Great. That's how this show works. I bring up a topic and you just don't give a fuck. Yeah, pretty much. Bounty! Bounty! Bounty! Oh, what is that? It's a picture of my dog in a distractible merch. Oh, shit. How do we confirm this? Is there a... We have to look at the bounty list? What do you mean, how do we confirm this? I'm showing you what... Oh, you mean how do we confirm it's a bounty?

1:05:56Yeah, it's on the list. That is on the official list on the subreddit. That is a bounty. I had a picture of the moon, and I, for some reason, couldn't find it. I was like, I had a picture that I managed to take with my GoPro. of like it through a telephoto lens and I got a good picture of it and I can't find it. So I ran out and I put the shirt on Chica and I put it on. Number four on the May list of bounty additions. Recent Persimmon 4148. Get a picture of their dog in distractible merch. Shirt, specifically shirt, which he did do. All right. Bounty confirmed. Old Redeen, that's our first bounty.

1:06:38That's what I'm talking about. I forgot to get the coin flip right after I walked away from those fans. I was like, fuck, ah, shit, I completely forgot. Yeah, now that you say it, I had a hell of a way to bookend that story of me holding up the entire rollercoaster ride if I had just done the coin flip thing then and there, but it didn't fucking occur to me. I wish I'd pull out a coin, turn to the cops and been like, I want to play a game. Well, that's why when we have this thing and people will, Sam, don't put this in. When we have this, you know, when it's ready, we'll have this always on us.

1:07:06Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I think you should leave that, but just say I'm blur to death so they have no idea what's happening. You'll love that when you get to know what it is. I guarantee it. I'm like the men's warehouse guy. We'll go through the points. Bob, you got points for... Like a dog biting a mailman. Nuclear. Hello. Room. Peter slash not mark jab. Mark sized human. Not an insult. Called me a coward. Yes, insult. Fan in the worst way at King's Island. And you got some points for winning points. Mark, you got points for a thick cedar picture. Thorium salt reactor. If people are saying nuclear, society's in a good place.

1:07:47If we're fighting over the way to say words. Learning about the Franklin Expedition in Norway. I asked what would be the thing in 200 years we look back on our era and be like, mm, bad idea. You said plastic very quickly. You met some very tall fans. You had a tangential nuclear story. you brought up the macro microwave stuff you asked for points a couple times you had a couple points for asking for them uh and then you got the i gave you three points for the bounty because it's the first bounty we've ever done we said two to three points it's our first ever bounty so i gave out the three uh our totals it was 11 to 7 mark and then mark got three for the bounty so you didn't really need to use that bounty here so it's 14 to 7 wait a minute whoa whoa three i thought regular bounties were one i thought we said two to three judges i only gave three i would say something that's as low effort as getting your dog picture in a shirt is doesn't rise to the level of like oh that's an extraordinary bounty that's not a super hard one i would agree that it's a two pointer but i gave a point for it being the first ever bounty redeemed oh jesus wow all right well so and i figured if he was going to use it on an episode he was already dominating might as well give him the point now for it right come on golf rules let's do this all right oh and i have four points one of which is a mark insult because i thought bob insulted mark but it was really just me insulting him on the inside or something it's your own prejudice shining through you jerk oh great wheel we ask you how many spins will we do today

1:09:22two it is thank you we need to pick me up you know sometimes people just have a bad time or a bad week so i'm gonna add had the worst time since we last spoke because you know what a point for that at least means you're getting something out of it that's good that's good i hope i get that one i had a great week but you know got 113 options like one of them will save me in this situation. I got two spins to find it. What are the odds? Let's go, baby. It's only between you two, right? Since I'm on the board with four, it wouldn't go to me. I don't know. I don't think we've ever had that precedence.

1:09:56Post interruptions of the other guy. Which other guy? I don't remember what that means. I think whenever one of the competitors is talking, the other person interrupts a bunch, because that's kind of what I do. Yeah, but we have a separate rule where if none of us can remember what the rule is, we delete it, but I think we know what that one is. Is that a re-spin, or do you want to call that way because we probably interrupted each other but it wasn't aggressive this episode or anything it doesn't stand out I would say re-spin spin number one part two mention their significant other the most I said Amy I both of you mentioned your significant others and I did not mention Mandy a single time I don't think I would have if I had done small talk I will be honest my small talk included Mandy I had it prepared we'll never know.

1:10:42Yeah, probably forget it by the time we record the next one. Anyway, come on golf rules. Come on. Okay. It's minus one to current loser. Is that me or you? Because I'm on the board. If you can't win, it's me because you're not the winner or the loser. You're the host. So that means I'm the current loser. That's hilarious. You get a bad day. You just need to make it worse. back to my old ways with the random chance games i love this for me let's flip some coins i'm feeling it guys final score is uh me with five oh no bob with six okay i beat wade thank god mark with 15 holy shit that might be one of the biggest point differentials we've had at least in recent memory mark really went off at the end there uh and then he had the bounty on top of it So yeah, Bob, loser speech.

1:11:41Sometimes the universe speaks to you. And who am I to question the wisdom of the universe? I suck and I deserve to lose. So says the wheel. So says the universe. So it must be true. Today, it's just the truth of everything. I suck. I should not have won. And I did not win. And the one who should have won clearly did. So thank you, universe, for your infinite wisdom. Thank you, Wade, for not giving me any points for most of what I said. And congratulations to Mark, clearly the better competitor and person on today's episode. Uh, Mark, our liege, our king, our leader, our most dominant winner. Would you like to give a winner's speech?

1:12:22My goodness, I can barely be humble with all these accolades being heaped upon me, but I will humbly accept them all. I did it. Whatever I did, whenever I was saying the random stuff, and we were both saying pretty random things the entire time, I said it better somehow. Which just shows that fate aligned with me on this day. What Bob said was right. It was purely the gods above smiling down upon us. And I think that that is something you can just let happen. You don't need to mention it a lot. You don't need to look it in the eye. It's just happening. I'm not going to say I did anything about it because that will keep it going.

1:12:56So long as I don't acknowledge it ever happened, my winning streak will continue and the good luck will shower upon me. for the moment that I look it in the eye it will turn on me and it will rip me from twain to twain both twains both my twains are gonna be ripped straight out from Mark all the way to Shania yeah your host speech both of them don't like the way I did points even though Mark won with them so I won't be winning again anytime soon so enjoy this while it lasts I'll see you all next season whenever I host again congratulations if you haven't already go follow Bob at my skirt Mark at Markiplier don't follow me stay tuned for the next one we're Mark will host and we'll probably definitely not do the perfect Instagram unless podcast out 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.
