In short

Distractable “Hide the Penny (Part 2)”—a recurring hide-and-seek game where Mark, Wade, and host Bob hide pennies in increasingly surreal settings; finding opponents’ pennies earns points, while matching Bob’s penny location is “really bad.”

Guests (backgrounds)

Mark and Wade are the episode’s special guests/competitors. Mark is a technical creator focused on audio production; he discusses building a Dolby Atmos sound-mixing room (speaker layout, room treatment, calibration). Wade is a regular co-host/competitor; he’s involved in home tech/renovation talk and participates in the game’s physical, chaotic hiding/finding strategies.

Key claims

Mark’s penny is “magical” and placed in the same spot in both coffins. In the forest round, Wade’s fox helps search; Mark’s penny is hidden on a dragonfly. In the final dream/“Inception” round, Bob’s subconscious makes outsiders’ odd behavior increase suspicion.

Notable examples

Coffins with pennies hidden in hinge/edge areas; forest bunnies destroyed during a fox-led search; Mark hiding pennies on a barely visible dragonfly; dream cafe where Wade’s “Oui oui penny” behavior draws pedestrians’ suspicion.

0:00For decades, a shadowy organization called the Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around, lemon forward sodas, even lemon forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them and squeezed out the truth.

0:19That's lemon propaganda right there. But now 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Join the 7up rising. Flip the sip.

1:01Ethan Nestor:Brussels clean up nicely at Sweetgreen. Maple glazed, roasted, and edges perfectly caramelized. Sweetgreen's fall harvest is back on the menu, and the season's most overlooked little green vegetable is dressed to be devoured. You know what to do. Order on the Sweetgreen app. This episode of Distractable is presented to you by Amazon Prime. Whatever you're into, it's on Prime. And I'm into a lot. You can't look at my order history. I won't let anyone. A lot of the show, I think, comes directly off Amazon. I think we all got our coins of fairness on there. Where'd you get your stacks of paper, you scribble on, Wade?

1:41Ethan Nestor:Amazon. Whatever it is, Prime helps you get more out of whatever passions you're into or getting into. Head to amazon.com slash prime and follow your obsession wherever it goes. Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractable. This episode, Bemusing Bob has special friends and tasks them to play cerebral hide-and-seek. Mixing Mark gets technical about sound and spectacular Sam, then strips off to wrestle and shake Wade. Widescreen Wade, Lousley Booth, Craze a bespoke dungeon, thinks Cheeky, Foxy and Orky. From TikToks to Bob's dreamscape. Yes! Yes! It's time for Hide the Penny, part two.

2:33Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.

2:40Ethan Nestor:Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractable. I saw you were trying to take a drink, Wade, and I said, not today.

2:49Mark Fischbach:Knocked over like both water bottles somehow in one shitty movement. It's fine.

2:54Ethan Nestor:Welcome back to another episode of Distractable, which I get to host because I won another episode. It's a miracle. Never seen the show before I host. I'm going to give out points to the two competitors who are here with me. And whoever gets the most points probably wins unless they don't. And the winner gets to host the next episode. The competitor for today, this is different than usual. Today we have special guests. Mark and Wade. We're special today? Woohoo! You special boys. You're my special, special lads, you know? Aw. You feel special? You look special. Thank you. I have an episode prepared.

3:31Ethan Nestor:Should be a good one. Mark's ready. Mark's excited about it. I couldn't tell how Wade felt about it, but we may have discussed it ahead of time. It's okay, because I didn't tell him what the... There's a twist. Isn't fair. There's some funny stuff coming in the episode. It'll be fine. It'll be really fun. Mark, don't look like that. You're excited for this one. You told me so yourself. What great foreshadowing. I'm excited. Mark's real smile, everybody. It's that thumbnail face from way back when.

3:59Ethan Nestor:But before we get into the incredibly fun and definitely not stressful episode, how's it go? Small talk? You guys got any small talk? Any new stuff? Any old stuff? I am going to build a sound mixing theater. Is this going to the same bathroom as the render farm. Yeah, I've always thought that the whirring of server fans was good for mixing audio in. Just the constant...

4:24Mark Fischbach:It helps generate a lot of buzz.

4:29Wait, what was I doing

4:30Ethan Nestor:in the last episode? Editors, cut out my bottom half of my mouth and make me laugh. Wow, what a laugh, Mark. Never expected that from you. I'm full of surprises from me. So, if I ever want to, say, make something and not have to go through the post-production pipeline, which has many headaches, is good for some reasons, not good for many others that I think need to be addressed down the road. But that's a whole other conversation that I talk about once I do the decompress after the end of this movie coming out. But I'm making a sound mixing theater and it's actually the requirements for making a Dolby Atmos sound mixing room is not as much as you think it is.

5:10The dimensions for the room only need to be 10 feet wide, 11 feet long, 8 feet tall, which is about the standard. I mean, this room that I'm in. That's just like a normal room size, isn't it? That's not that crazy. Yeah, but that's the it's also the inside of the speaker area. So the speakers count against the size. So if you have like a 10 foot room and you have, you know, six inch thick ass speakers.

5:32Ethan Nestor:Like 10 by 12 is like it's that's a big room, but that's like a normal room size. A lot of bedrooms are like 10 by 12, 10 by 15 sort of area. That's doable. And so getting the speakers are probably the most expensive part of that, because if you want good quality speakers, you need 7.1.4 minimum, which is a front, two front sides, two sides, two rear sides, and then four on the corners in the bottom, and then one base. You have a sub. And so that's it. And then you have it going into an Atmos interface. it's some money but it's not like it's not as much as i thought it would i thought it'd be like tens of thousands of dollars but you can get some pretty decent uh monitors audio monitors assuming you have like so you make this room isn't it a thing where you like you tune it to your ear so like a real uh experienced sound engineer just sits in the room and is like oh it needs a little bit more or is it like there are microphones in the room or something and it's literally like tuned to frequencies into microphone type deal.

6:33Yeah, you could get your expert in there and they could do it. But the interfaces that you can buy come with a microphone sometimes. And you put that in the center of the room where you're going to be mixing. You let it run some sounds. It'll do. I mean, even TVs nowadays sometimes have this auto calibration. Wade, probably your theater that you have kind of has something similar, I'm sure.

6:52Ethan Nestor:And he totally knows how it works and has used it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

6:55Mark Fischbach:There are speakers and there is a projector that probably work in tandem in some way. In some way, some mysterious way. It shakes the candelabras on your walls many times. I noticed that. It's very shaky. It kind of sounds like a train's going through sometimes. Yeah, yeah.

7:11Ethan Nestor:Sounds like a 1996 Honda Civic EX with a sound system in the trunk is driving past.

7:16Mark Fischbach:It turns out the projector is using a 1996 Honda engine to run. I pour gas. I want to watch a movie. I get the gasoline in the projector and we...

7:27Mark Fischbach:You remember Hondas in the 90s, man, with their pull chain starting engines.

7:32Ethan Nestor:Those old pull start Honda Civic engines. Oh, yeah. I mean, in a way, that's how Grok gets its power. You know, all those all those gas areas outside. Just, you know, Elon himself has to go out and like. But really, I already have the computers. All I need is audio interface. The speakers mount them up. I have another TV that I already have a TV that I'm going to move into that space. and it's like boom done you have it do you have to treat the room is that part of it yeah you do but I have a lot of I right now all the worst thing is doing we're kind of doing this ourselves but we cut open the walls and we pulled out any old insulation we put in this like rock wool insulation which is like super dense sound resistant and then you cover up the walls and I'm going to put some thin panels on it I don't I don't intend to be listening it at theater volume anyway, but you need some treatment to reduce any kind of reverberation in there so it can be clean.

8:25Because you want to not have the sound be from the reverb of the room and the audio monitors to replicate the reverb that you want in the space that it's going to be in.

8:33Mark Fischbach:I don't know why I can't picture this without thinking of the Shia LaBeouf video where he's just like clapping at the end. I picture him clapping every time you do anything with sound mixing where like when it goes well he's just I don't know why you're picturing that either. Makes sense, makes sense. it doesn't take all that much. So you have that, or the computers, you just need to wire everything up, put the soundproofing on, and then the speakers. So all in all, it's like those aren't cheap, but they're not nearly as expensive. You think they would be, especially if you get like used ones.

9:03So I think, yeah, it'll be fun to have that for real, like a legit, because I've always had and mixed everything I've ever done on this pair of headphones and the same pair of$99 Bose speakers I've had since I started YouTube. so I'm not used to having quality audio oh wait do you have the um oh what are they called the

9:24Ethan Nestor:like the the silver bows like uh sit on your desk speakers is that what you have the yeah they're black um and they have a knob on the front right one you know well there's only two I have the silver I have the silver model of that one that I think they're actually Mandy's I think they were Mandy's from like college they're pretty good I literally have a black pair of bow speakers as

9:45Mark Fischbach:Well, I got these from Micro Center probably 10 years ago. That's probably where I got it. Yeah, yeah. That's really funny. Yeah, but they sound consistent, and, you know, I haven't had a need. To go higher from just plug in three and a half into your computer is a pretty big jump. Like, you have to have your own power supply to it, and then you start an audio interface, and it gets too complicated. I don't want any of that. Just give me stereo. I'm fine. But for this, for Atmos, you do need to have some surround ability.

10:15Ethan Nestor:no that's really cool that'll be do you get to do you get to pick like to your ear do you get to pick like i know this is mixed to to whatever the spec is but i want to tweak it this little bit kind of deal or is it really like it just balances it based on the frequencies and there's like a specific spec that it needs to be mixed to for for that purpose there probably is but from what i understand is with you know audio mixing in general you do it to your ears the atmos requirement is just so that it can take your rendered out audio and place it in a space where any kind of scale of theater the number of of speakers goes up it could still position the audio correctly from which speakers or which combination of speakers to replicate the position so that's why you need floor and ceiling speakers for your mixing room so you can get the full surround both top front to back and then top to bottom is what you need yeah so like you could have bohemian

11:11Mark Fischbach:Rhapsody going in like the front left. It'd be like, little high, little low. Yeah, actually, yeah, you could. You could have one, every word, front, back, really disorient people. Front, back, front, back, front, back, front, back. That still like gets me when I just do like the one ear thing, but like having it like,

11:28Ethan Nestor:every other word just like zips around. You're sitting in the middle like, ah. So I want people to watch my stuff in the theater.

11:39Mark Fischbach:Why is the roar behind me if the monster's in front.

11:42Ethan Nestor:It's like a Bertolt Brecht film. It's mixed to be as unpleasant as physically possible. Yeah, so that'll be fun. And by me building it, I mean I'm going to get actually Sam podcast editor, Sam to build it. Sam, you done with this episode yet? Yeah, come on, Sam.

11:55Mark Fischbach:Chop, chop. I want my speakers. Convert Mark's 12 by 12 bathroom into a good old speaker room. It's a normal room. It's a perfectly normal room. We are, though. You're a man. I am a man with 12 bathrooms. All of them got a change.

12:10Ethan Nestor:ever built this house couldn't walk 10 feet without taking another shit maybe they should have just seen a doctor instead of building a custom house i haven't seen the master bathroom in six weeks well wade what kind of home renovations are you doing are you building

12:24Mark Fischbach:anything high tech we have a mini fridge that broke we gotta replace it that's annoying i bet

12:30Ethan Nestor:it's built into a thing and i bet you need one that's exactly the right size and i bet that's

12:35Mark Fischbach:gonna be hard to find they still make this exact model so we'll probably just get the same model and just kind of swap in and out probably pretty easy and boring but uh right now it says it's cooling but it's 72 degrees in there so it's not really a cool fridge i mean it could be hotter i was i was thinking a room i'm like that's a perfectly reasonable temperature and then you said fridge i remembered oh yeah wait no that's not but it tells me it's cold it's like oh man it's pretty cold in here boss you sure you want to lower it yeah man i'd really like to see 70 degrees that'd be crazy okay so i still have like ideas of things i want to do like i still want to have a really really awesome like gaming table like dnd room set up but i don't know if this is i don't know if i'm going to do it here if we're ever going to move again but i also am not going to do it while we still have a cat who's on the decline and pottying everywhere because it's like i don't want to redo flooring with that going on so i'm kind of on hold still on that it was a weird time i got a text from molly right then as if she knew i was putting like bad juju in the air

13:31Ethan Nestor:well mark wins the small talk that's pretty good just fascinating stuff coming from mark's end over here.

13:37Mark Fischbach:Um. Yep. Mark, you win life. You have a better life than me.

Read the full transcript

13:41Ethan Nestor:Yeah.

13:42Mark Fischbach:Much cooler life. I'm just too busy being, like, tall and boring. I don't know. Mark's just gonna let that slide. Alright. Went over his head. Nah, I just, you know, I went over. I take the good with the bad. That's Mark's other life editors. Put that one in earlier.

14:01The Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up, flip the sip.

You know that feeling when someone shows up for you just when you need it most. That's what Uber is all about.

15:10Ethan Nestor:Like when Wade's house was flooding and falling to pieces all around him, and you showed up just when he needed you to, so you could film it and exploit it for views on the internet? No. Whatever it is, big or small, Uber is on the way. So you can be on yours. Uber, on our way to your house. Wade.

15:34Ethan Nestor:We're gonna play a classic. We're gonna play I'd the Penny again.

15:40Mark Fischbach:Yay! If I remember right, I got my ass kicked on this last time.

15:44Ethan Nestor:Honestly, you both did pretty well. The last one just really screwed you over because you hit your penny right where I done hit my penny.

15:50Mark Fischbach:I didn't even see it when I hit it. It was right there in front of me.

15:54Ethan Nestor:Alright, so if you didn't listen to the first one of these, I think all three of us really enjoyed the first episode. and I highly recommend it, hide the penny. But the way this game works is it's all, it's in the theater of the mind. It's in our imaginations. But we're going to be traveling to different locations and different settings. And when we arrive at each new setting, I'm going to give Mark and Wade a penny and I'm going to have a penny. Each of us is going to find a place inside of whatever setting I set up to hide our penny. And if you hide, if you find your opponent's penny, If Mark finds Wade or Wade finds Marks, that's a point.

16:31Ethan Nestor:And whoever finds my penny, that's a point. And if you hide your penny in the exact same place as I did, that's really bad for you for some reason. That would seem like a really cool thing that might be worth extra points, but somehow that's way worse. Anyway, I've got some new. Last time the settings were pretty... It turned out fun, but the settings were like, I don't know, I want to say normal. They were pretty fine. I tried to push it a little bit on this one And I hope that these settings Will be a little bit more interesting And you'll have to be I don't remember the second setting from last time

17:08Mark Fischbach:I remember the first and the third

17:09Ethan Nestor:There was the coffee shop And there was the dorm room Jungle cafe And then there was the haunted house Grandma's house or whatever The haunted house Yeah the coffee shop had the train And there was a lot of stuff going on in the coffee shop We arrive at our first destination I pull out three pennies, I hand one to Mark and one to Wade, and I keep one. We're in a room where almost supernaturally you can't see anything except for two identical looking coffins sitting on the floor in front of us. Each of you will be getting in to one of these coffins, but before you do that, you will be hiding your penny in the coffin that your opponent will be getting into.

17:56Ethan Nestor:My penny is magical and will be in the same location in both coffins. So both of you have an equal opportunity to attempt to find my penny. And the penny has to be intact, not modified. You don't have access to any tools or anything, but if you are physically strong enough with just your bare hands and teeth.

18:21Mark Fischbach:Wait, we have access to bare arms?

18:24Ethan Nestor:I'll give you a point even though I don't want to but No just your regular human arms Oh okay But anyway like in real life you could If you did it right you could probably like Bend a penny right but I don't think you could Really like break a penny or bite It in half in a meaningful way I don't think There's much you could do without any tools or anything

18:43Mark Fischbach:Is this a wooden coffin or like a coffin That's like elaborate got like a cloth Inside it's a very nice

18:50Ethan Nestor:High end coffin It's made of cherry wood, so it's got a nice sort of reddish outside. The inside is lined with very lovely velvet. Mark's is red and black, and Wade's is black and red on the inside. Totally different. Don't worry about it. And a lot of these coffins have, like, there's, like, a pillow. It's very cushioned and comfortable looking. There's, like, little slots sometimes to put little mementos in if you're doing, like, an open casket thing. I sent you where mine is. Mark's just Mark just knows I hop in the coffin Wait, Wade's still I want to start looking Am I getting a head start?

19:28Mark Fischbach:Wait, have you hidden yours yet? I've not sent him I've not sent him where I've hidden it yet But yeah, go ahead Look away Tell me what areas you've ruled out I'll hide it there after the fact

19:36Ethan Nestor:Oh, and I was going to say The way this is going to start is Once both of you have hidden your pennies I'm going to prompt you You're going to climb into the coffin And I'm going to shut the lid And yeah, Wade Whenever you're decided Mark DM'd me in the Separate chat where his is so Once waits is hidden oh i'm messaging You right now for fairness i'm Gonna write down where i'm hiding mine

19:57Mark Fischbach:Look at both of ours first to make sure that you

19:59Ethan Nestor:Copy one of them i had mine picked Out already okay so Calm down i know hard feelings about Last time but like I will say um one Of you already uh Did pick the same spot as me so We'll deal with that when we get to it but we Both just guess our spot immediately uh so you both get in the coffins uh also i'm gonna say there's light in the coffin so don't don't get too buried in the details you you're not in a darkness where you can't see you could see a little bit you're still in a coffin it's still close and closed but i close the lids there's some light emanating from somewhere you're not gonna suffocate it's it's okay i'm not gonna bury you.

20:43Well, we could, like a ticking clock, like if we don't find it, we die kind of thing. You know, that'd be fun.

20:48Ethan Nestor:I mean, if you don't find it, you don't get to get out of the coffin, so I guess eventually you'll die. Alright. Oh, I should probably pick who gets to go first. Uh, heads mark is first, tails wait a second.

21:00Mark Fischbach:Wait, wait a minute.

21:03Ethan Nestor:He said it, he said it. It was tails, and obviously what I meant was tails, Wade wins. So Wade, you get the first move. That's right. You have both hidden your pennies and I have hidden the exact same penny in the exact same place in both coffins because of magic. Don't question it.

21:21Mark Fischbach:Wade, what do you do? All right. I start feeling the sides of the coffin for side panels.

21:27Ethan Nestor:Like the bottom around the bottom part of it.

21:30Mark Fischbach:You're feeling around your body and stuff like where my arms and legs, the side.

21:34Ethan Nestor:There are some like pouches sort of sewn in where for people to tuck in, you know, cards or flowers or whatever. There are some pouches along the sides.

21:43Mark Fischbach:I find Mark's penny there. Tell me that.

21:47Ethan Nestor:That's actually what I had. What's what Mark wrote down is Wade finds my penny when he says he found it. Yes. Those are empty. This is not a funeral for you. So nobody came to put mementos in your coffin. It's just an empty coffin. All right. remembering the haunted house i check in under and around my own eyes to make sure he didn't slip one after a careful examination of your eyes you can confirm that there are no pennies in under or around them and you can still see out of both eyes well shit in that case let me check behind

22:25Mark Fischbach:my ears make sure he's not pulling one of the magician tricks no there are no pennies behind your ears wade but that's a good fuck i want to think about my body yeah let me my body Check my pockets. Maybe he slipped it in.

22:36Ethan Nestor:You feel around in all the different pockets that you have in your pants, and the pockets are all empty.

22:42Mark Fischbach:There's a false compartment in the top of this coffin where it was closed. I'm gonna feel around the top of the coffin.

22:48Ethan Nestor:So you're like pushing up on the lid and stuff?

22:51Mark Fischbach:Oh yeah, I'm like full like Evil Deb when it looks like the old person's like having a rave, but I'm doing it with the coffin lid trying to find that penny.

22:57Ethan Nestor:There's no secret compartment, but you notice that every time you push on the lid, it lifts up. Good, that's a good very lid thing I like to do. I try to start rolling from one side to the other, the coffin. And I don't want to tip it, but maybe my immense strength causes me to tip it. But I'm listening. I'm listening for any kind of like other rattling besides wood creaking, like a penny sliding or something like that. That's interesting. I like that strategy. You don't hear a penny on anything hard. Okay, so nothing like no sliding anything other. Just the coffin creaking. No metal sliding around or bouncing around.

23:35Ethan Nestor:You just hear normal coffin-y sounds, and the penny must be somewhere soft.

23:41Mark Fischbach:Mark's a real weirdo. I'm going to take off my shoes and see if he put them in my shoes or by my feet and toes. That little monster, you know he'd go there. Just a load of the ground. You never saw me slip in.

23:53Ethan Nestor:I've never been in a coffin, but I'm going to guess that's relatively hard to do. You struggle to get your shoes on and socks off without being able to really reach your feet But you do and you can't really see much But you don't see a penny or anything down in your in your shoes or in your socks

24:10Mark Fischbach:I've checked all the marked places already My ears, my feet, the roof, what else? What's left?

24:15Ethan Nestor:The mark didn't hide anything anywhere else ever, that's for sure Alright, so in it's like it's cushioned on the lining and then there's a pillow, right? Is there a pillow? Yep I checked a pillow I picked a pillow up and you inspect it and there is a case on it you dig around that there is nothing But pillow in there. There's no hard little hard bits or anything. Just pillow

24:36Mark Fischbach:I guess I could be laying on the penny. So I'm gonna try to like flip over and feel all the bottom

24:44Ethan Nestor:There are no pennies in that you can feel in the bottom of the coffin Assuming that you're feeling very meticulously around

24:51Mark Fischbach:I got bare feet so I can feel my feet feel my hand I'm like, somebody placed in a coffin, I feel like you're gonna hide a penny. You would think. How's my tummy? Does it feel upset at all? Like someone who slipped in a meal that I had prior to this? I relax and I get in tune with myself. I try to feel, if I feel any kind of weird. I know myself so well.

25:13Ethan Nestor:You relax and you become very self-aware and you don't notice anything weird with your head. You don't feel anything weird in your chest or with your tummy. You notice something weird as you're working your way down and then you get down to your legs and your legs are feeling okay And your feet seem fine. You did feel something was kind of off Sort of in the middle somewhere there tell me seems okay, but there's something weird. I should ask whether this was inside or outside

25:42Mark Fischbach:I dive into my own stomach. I rip my abdomen open You shrink yourself and magic school bust your way into your own body

25:50Ethan Nestor:I shrink my top half and go into my bottom half

25:53Mark Fischbach:Carlos! Okay, I don't know where Mark hid his, but I know Bob got me a few episodes back by spitting things out of his mouth, so I'm gonna just go all in my mouth and feel around, lift up my tongue, check my throat, between the cheekies and the jawline.

26:11Ethan Nestor:Somehow, you fit your whole fist into your mouth and you really get in there. Don't tip me. There's nothing in your mouth. You're good. I guess, Wade, you do notice in all of your tossing around, Again, you hear the lid sort of like, every time you like bump the lid, you notice the lid seems to move. I strip completely, shoving, like taking off my clothes one at a time, shoving it towards the bottom, checking all my, I check between my cheeks and also around that area just to make sure, just sense, feel something. Almost as if you're in a cartoon, and you start taking your clothes off and everything slows down and some very, some very horny music starts playing and then suddenly you find yourself naked and you're just like feeling yourself and you're really good and when your hands finally reach down betwixt your cheeks, you feel the familiar knurled edge of your little copper friend wedged right in there.

27:16Ethan Nestor:Wade I didn't understand exactly what you meant but Wade's hiding place was my penny is on its edge where a person's butt would be so that when they lay down it slips between their cheeks

27:30Mark Fischbach:yeah it would be technically on the outside of their clothes but like I'll give it to you I was

27:34Ethan Nestor:imagining it like it it's made its way in just to make it but yeah so you find Wade's penny between your cheeks which you said explicitly yes yes man how'd you get it in there wade knows a lot about angles and stuff yeah i like to get in my coffins by jumping in and landing butt first as hard as i can but i knew you would you know i i'm the more now i'm thinking about i kind of get what you meant but i was like maybe he balanced it right on the edge of the coffin on the wood thinking that like mark would sit on the wood and then i was like if you sit on a penny on a hardwood surface that's gonna go into things or i don't know anyway mark you are now permitted to exit your coffin uh okay my penny is still up for grabs somewhere i'm going to try

28:21Mark Fischbach:to throw the lid open that i feel like has had some play to it and say bob hand me his penny

28:29Ethan Nestor:please you throw the lid open way too violently and it just goes and i look at you very unamused and i say it wasn't locked coffins don't lock you could have immediately just pushed the lid open casually and sat upright because it doesn't lock it's just a box with a hinged lid so your coffin is now open i will say did you open like the top half because usually the lid

28:56Mark Fischbach:is in two parts and it was just the top half yeah so you open the top half and you're now like

29:01Ethan Nestor:sitting up out of your coffin you didn't technically look for anything do you want to do a search action before we move.

29:07Mark Fischbach:Oh, I asked you for his penny, assuming he gave it to you.

29:09Ethan Nestor:I don't have Mark's penny. I have no pennies on me. So I can look for yours, Bob, right? Yeah, you're still looking, Mark. Now you only have mine to find. All right. I open both lids. Damn, that's smart. And I check where mine would be and also the opposite one. Uh-huh. Or any and all. All right. Mark, we hid our pennies in exactly the same place God damn it I never thought about the outside of the coffin Which, as you know, is really bad news for you For me? Historically, the one historical record we have of this When Wade and I hid our pennies in the same place He got no extra points whatsoever I also didn't guess that point, that place

29:58Mark Fischbach:But yeah, but I guessed where the both of them were those I benefited greatly from it I that's what won me the episode But Bob did say at the beginning of this that he hit his in the same spot as one of us He did say that I assumed I assumed it would be bad for the person who didn't get there, but hmm

30:14Ethan Nestor:You know what who knows if it's good or bad the coin knows oh shit

30:24Mark Fischbach:We'll find out later I guess Is this a handshake deal coming to face Mark can't win Is that what this is I don't think I'm winning right now If it makes you feel any better You got this I don't know if I'm winning He's not even very bad for me I haven't found shit At the very least Assuming you have zero points I also have zero points And you won the I can't have zero How can I have zero

30:44Ethan Nestor:Well I didn't tell you where mine was So unless you think it's unfair Mark He can still find both pennies right

30:50Mark Fischbach:theoretically i went first so i would say it doesn't make sense for me to get another chance probably because then what would he do with his next turn yeah it's like if he finds both then it's like there's no benefit to do it i don't know i don't know i don't know what do you want

31:04Ethan Nestor:when mark found my penny both versions of it re-emerged into one singular penny you're right buddy okay you found it and that's good for somebody uh so my penny has disappeared wade Do you have one more opportunity to find Mark's penny? You are now sitting up with half of the coffin open.

31:24Mark Fischbach:Can I see in this room now that I'm out of the coffin?

31:27Ethan Nestor:You can see everything about your coffin. You're just surrounded by a completely empty abyss everywhere else. Okay, so I can't see Mark in his coffin. Sure, you can see Mark in his coffin.

31:36Mark Fischbach:There's nothing there for you. Okay, well, that place he just looked, I want to look there too.

31:46Ethan Nestor:i seem to go okay or bad for him either way i imagine the coffins are next to each other either way either you were looking from the side where mark's lid was open blocking your view or you were looking from the side where your lid was open blocking your view so you couldn't directly see him but you saw mark open both of his coffin lids and then sort of look around on the top area of his coffin and then hold up my penny and go haha bitches and get out of his coffin or whatever he said yeah so you didn't actually see exactly what he did no matter the orientation here but i guess that gives you the clue that it's somewhere in the top ish part of the coffin theoretically.

32:32Mark Fischbach:I don't know what you all are picturing with a coffin. I'm picturing like a very smooth like I don't know black polished surface with some like metal poles where the pallbearers can carry it. So I'm gonna search the tips of the parts the pallbearer would grab. So like the handles on the sides. Yeah yeah handles is a good word for that.

32:53Ethan Nestor:You may examine all of the handles all in one action because there's nothing there for you to find anyway. Fuck. Mark and I both chose to hide our pennies in the hinge. When the coffins, before we were in the coffins, I think Mark and I both assumed they'd be sitting there open, and both of us set our pennies on the hinge side, and then we got in, you guys got in, and we closed them, so the pennies were located, sandwiched in the hinge side, and yeah. Good job, Mark. You found both pennies. Which is super good for me, right? Yippee. All right, on to the next setting. The coffins are all gone. We're no longer in the abyss.

33:35Ethan Nestor:Whoa, where'd they go? You take a deep breath. You smell the crisp moistness of a delightful forest scene. We are standing in the middle of a very green, very verdant forested area. It is enclosed by a magical and invisible force field that makes the area approximately 20 feet by 20 feet. But it goes all the way up. So the trees are as tall as the trees are. This is a very, like, old-growth forest. The trees are mossy. There's vines hanging. There's logs and rocks on the ground. There are no, like, creeks or anything. There's no moving water. There are like bugs buzzing around And little creatures of the forest Doing whatever they're doing It's like a very beautiful Very idyllic Green lush forested area I pull out the three pennies I give you both a penny I do what I do with mine And it is hidden Both of you may now invent Wherever you would like to hide your things Got it, sent Wade got to go first last time so it's only fair that Mark gets to go first this time Oh I almost just said the word Alright so we're 20 feet by 20 feet tall trees lots of moss uh wooded area nature in general No creek you said?

35:00Ethan Nestor:Yeah there's no like running water or anything it's uh I'm gonna get a lay of the land first and try to like just do a first pass I'm gonna go from one corner to the other corner and just kind of like turn in my head looking, just generally trying to get a first sweep. You sort of take note of all the trees and there's rocks and logs on the ground and everything, and you have pretty good visibility. There's definitely a couple areas where maybe there's something you could peek under, but you don't see any glints of anything metallic. You get a good first pass, but you don't find a penny.

35:34Mark Fischbach:I want to befriend a local fox and have this fox help me sniff out the location of the penny if It's on the ground floor.

35:44Ethan Nestor:Okay.

35:45Mark Fischbach:Does he have that ability? Do I have that ability?

35:48Ethan Nestor:Snow White fucking did it. I can't. Wade kneels down and just sort of gestures out towards the fox. And the fox comes up very inquisitively to him. And sniffs his fingers and looks up and meets his gaze.

36:01Mark Fischbach:And then the fox says, Yeah? I offer him some food. And I tell him, like, hey, smell this penny? If you can find another one of these. I got plenty more of this. Where that came from. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

36:11Ethan Nestor:You just have food and a penny in your pockets. What are we doing here? Who doesn't man? I'm going to the woods. I need a snack. I think I know where Wade's penny is. All right. Wade offers the fox some food and the fox is like, ah, cool, sick and eats it. And then Wade holds out the penny and is like, can you find anything that smells like this? And the fox is all, that's kind of a dog trick, but I've, yeah. And he smells it. The fox proceeds to sort of start rooting around. He doesn't search the entire area in this one move, but he he starts searching in find shit He's rooting around he's sniffing all over the ground.

36:47Ethan Nestor:He's sniffing in little whatever His family wants to eat. He'll find it didn't find anything yet But now you apparently recruited a frog a fox to your side. That's damn

36:54Mark Fischbach:I'm thinking outside the box this time thinking unhinged Okay, I got this immediately after Wade sends the Fox on his way. He hears up Rising from the darkness of the far side of the woods, just hearing stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp Mee bursting through the brush Why are you in my woods? I run full-body tackle him How'd she get to my Bob's chamber? Oh are we in separate boxes?

37:26Ethan Nestor:No, no, we're all we're all in one big area together here. This is not separate What the fuck? He's gonna kill me! Full on, I'm horizontal, right into his midsection. You're trying to search Wade for his pennies? Yeah, yeah. You search Wade and he has a bunch of random shit in his pockets, including unrelated pennies. He just brought pennies with him to this penny game that we're playing.

37:49Mark Fischbach:It's like a copper wire, just a coppery smell. I don't want to cheat. He has fashioned a copper wire into a penny. You fool! It says this is real on it.

38:00Ethan Nestor:I didn't cut that off for being a possibility, I guess. So, Wade. Well, I did some damage, right?

38:06Mark Fischbach:I feel like I did some, you know. Oh, you took at least three of my HPs.

38:10Ethan Nestor:Yeah, you knocked the wind out of Wade, and he's definitely, you're going to be sore and have a hard, you're going to have some debuffs to your movement and agility stuff for a minute here. Also, Mark might have turned into He-Who. What's that guy's name? He-Who? Yeah, He-Who. By the way, I was also naked. Mark gets naked in these every single time. He's a nakekist. Nudist? That's probably the word. Alright, Wade. You're in a little bit of pain and you're catching your breath. What do you do now?

38:39Mark Fischbach:Alright, my fox friend is searching the ground level here. Mark is crafty. He's low to the ground. I'm gonna start digging and try to find a big old mole hole and see if Mark hit it in a nice little mole spot. I'm thinking here above the ground, but no, he probably went below the dirt where the moles are.

38:59Ethan Nestor:Wade got his hands and knees just starts digging Digging and you find the edge of what you think Attack will be here for a reason Is some kind of burrow You find a tunnel and you follow that You dig deeper until you find a main chamber And you dig and all of a sudden You've exposed this huge Main chamber of a family of bunnies burrow And you rip the roof off like you're some sort of terrible monster and all the bunnies look up at you and they're all Terrified And the dad yells Get the kids out of here I'll stall him And he gets ready to fight you And then there's no pennies in there though So that's fine

39:41Mark Fischbach:And then I yell to the fox Looks like meat's back on the menu Fox And I start Tumbling the rabbit The mother and the baby's frantically

39:53Ethan Nestor:Scurrying away towards the edge of the force field The dad leaps at you It kicks you in the face damaging your eyesight and lowering your ability to spot things at a distance and then starts running away himself But he's way far behind his family the mother and the children pass through the magical force field because they're harmless creatures But the dad is too slow and the Fox just Kits one of his legs Then tears them apart this causes the Fox to stop searching for the penny for a while because he's currently apparently dismantling and consuming the father of this family that you made exist for some reason

40:29Mark Fischbach:you made them exist i just dug through moles oh you're the one who dug into their home i was

40:35Ethan Nestor:looking for moles the dead bunny dies his wife and children escape the fox is going to be very full and satiated but is out of commission for at least a round or two eating that's the same way my dad went it's fine didn't find a penny in the home that you have now destroyed uh that the bunnies used to live in. I thought for sure his remark would put it. Alright, I, frothing at the mouth, scream to the heavens, cursing the moon and anyone above me for its height, leaping 20 feet into the air up into the nearest tree, and then I grab onto it with my claws and I just start hopping from tree to tree.

41:13But I'm looking around as I'm hopping.

41:15Ethan Nestor:As you're hopping from tree to tree From foaming in the mouth On one of the trees You hop and you grab the tree And before you're about to hop again A tiny glint of copper Catches your eye In the knot In the hollowed out knot of the tree Where a squirrel seems to be living It looks like somehow There are also Two pennies

41:55Ethan Nestor:Mark's feral instincts immediately fade as he remembers what we're really doing here. He reaches into the squirrel's nest and finds both mine and Wayne's pennies. Dude, this is a fucking joke.

42:13Mark Fischbach:He's not come down yet. Can the fox and I team up to fucking kill him and take the penny? You would love catching me. Mark, where's your fucking penny? Why are you so good at hiding pennies, you son of a bitch? It's your own hubris working against you. It's your own hubris. You're thinking big whenever you can only do small.

42:33Ethan Nestor:Mark is in the tree, victoriously holding both pennies. Wade is standing over the home that he just destroyed because it's suddenly your last turn. The fox ate really fast and got really concerned about Mark violently leaping from tree to tree above him. So he gave up on eating the bunny and was like, Ah, will finding the penny stop that man? And so he's back. He's looking in. The fox hunts aggressively because he's terrified of feral Mark. He sniffs a lot of the ground. I do too. You're both looking in the same areas or no no no god no no I'm just real sniffy

43:11Mark Fischbach:Let let Bob help you here for a second No no I got this I got you Bob

43:16Ethan Nestor:The fox is looking all over the ground

43:19Mark Fischbach:So where does Wade look? Alright Mark went to the tops of the trees fox went to the ground I went below ground What we've not looked at is like halfway up the tree where maybe like birds nests and things like that are Sure sure And that's stupid mark would never go there So I'm gonna go all the way up to like where a cloud is and see if mark maybe hit it in the cloud

43:45Mark Fischbach:I'm going from small to real big

43:48Ethan Nestor:Wade imagines that mark hit his penny in the clouds and he just goes And starts lifting up into the air high high into the clouds as high as you want to go and you look around and somehow despite the fact that you're supposed to be injured from Mark's tackle and your eyes are supposed to be injured from a bunny kicking you in the face You can see everything in the clouds and there are no pennies there

44:14Mark Fischbach:Is there a cloud shaped like a penny? No, they're all cloud-shaped I should have gone with that bird's nest level. I was really thinking of

44:31Ethan Nestor:The fox also does not find a penny anywhere on the ground floor of the area. All right, not the cloud. I should have gone to space. All right, Wade, you did not successfully find Mark's penny. Mark tied his penny to a string with the other end of which he then tied to the biggest dragonfly he could find. and dragonflies are not that robust so Mark's penny was literally just dangling somewhere just above eye level on a dragonfly that could barely move if you had looked anywhere even kind of straight ahead I would have given you that you saw it and that you could casually walk over to the slow moving dragonfly and just go doink and grab the penny I It was literally you spawned into this game and the penny was like right here flying away from you slowly and you were like, where is it?

45:33Mark Fischbach:Where is it? I'm gonna dig to the mold people. I'm really going for that self-sabotage point at the end. The Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up. Flip the sip.

46:44Ethan Nestor:Man, I have one more. All right. Yeah, one more. We're going to do one more. Make it quick. Quick turns. I really like this one. Alright, quick turns. Yeah. The last setting is that we all find a sketchy warehouse and lay down on some rusty looking chairs and put the IVs into our arms. And then our chemist pushes the button and we are all sucked into Bob's subconscious in an Inception style joint dream session. We are in my mind, but we are all three there. And because you two are not from my mind, my subconscious, which populates all the other characters around us, becomes increasingly suspicious of you.

47:27Ethan Nestor:The weirder that you act and the more that you stand out. I'm fucked. I start digging. So we are currently on a busy street corner. You know, the scene where they're sitting in the cafe on the corner in Paris in the Inception movie. We're sitting at a table, each of us with a coffee in front of us, at that cafe. The setting is that corner. It's like a street. There's people walking. There's cars going. The setting is confined here. It's a dream. So dreamily, there's nothing outside of our little cafe area. And you can't really go inside the cafe either. The setting is this street area, this outdoor seating area.

48:08Ethan Nestor:And on this one Every action that you take The wilder it is, the more outrageous it is The more violent and suspicious My subconscious will get So if you just magically start hovering into space Or if you start talking to a fox And he talks back to you That's probably going to stick out a little bit I give you both your pennies I take my penny And hide your pennies, send me the message And let us It's just a street corner, we're limited to that Yeah, so it's like tables and chairs on a cafe setting, and then there's like a sidewalk. And like, you could go into the sewer, into the street, but there is traffic.

48:47Ethan Nestor:But there's no going like beyond the street. It's sort of like the area just around us and outside of the building. There's no interior here. That part isn't populated in the dream that we're in.

49:03Ethan Nestor:Oh no. I don't know which one are you laughing at. I don't know. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Wade, it's your turn. You get to go first. All right.

49:16Mark Fischbach:I turn to Mark and I say, hey, where'd you hide your penny? What do you say, Mark? Same place we all did. I check behind my ears again.

49:27Ethan Nestor:You find no pennies behind your ears. I mirror every Wade's movement. You check his ears or your ears? My ears. I'm mirroring everything he's doing like trying to trying to trying to mess him up by like copying his movements exactly

49:42Mark Fischbach:Waits unsettled a little bit and you don't find any pennies either mark that we're at like a cafe I'm gonna go inside the cafe and look on the front counter where there's probably a thing for a leave a penny Take a penny and I'm gonna look for pennies this time.

49:57Ethan Nestor:Oh, it's Tommy right there and say that I said multiple times pretty explicitly

50:01Mark Fischbach:there is no inside of this cafe the outside of this cafe where the counter is there is a cash

50:07Ethan Nestor:register outside suddenly and i will give you that they do have a take a penny leave a penny tray and i will also give you that there are only euro pennies no u.s dollar pennies american pennies whatever the there's just normal stuff in there no no oh you remember what i did last time but No, just none of our pennies are in the take penny, leave penny. Mark. Under the table. You look thoroughly under the table. Yep. Under the chairs, under everything, at the bottom. If he thinks so low of me that he thinks I hide everything down, I get on the ground. I go, start crawling around. Under the table.

50:45Ethan Nestor:Mark crawls around under the table grunting and making weird noises. Wait, not that weird. Wait, no, perfectly normally.

50:51Mark Fischbach:He said he was pretty weird.

50:53Ethan Nestor:Mark crawls around under the table making exactly the noises that you actually made, which was something like, and you don't find any pennies, and the people walking by on the sidewalk are kind of like,

51:05Mark Fischbach:but they keep going. I'm going to go pat my buddy Bob on the back and then try to discreetly frisk him, thinking that maybe the pennies are on him.

51:19Ethan Nestor:I let you feel me however you want, wherever you want. There are no pennies anywhere within me. The people, the passers-by, do see you just sort of groping the shit out of me while I'm sitting next to you at the cafe and are kind of like, all right, get a room, but no pennies. No pennies. Okay. All right, Mark, on the ground, drawing attention to himself. I get up and I sit back down and I act really casually, take a sip of my coffee. Okay. And then I try to lower the star rating of the suspicious

51:57Mark Fischbach:He's using a round to lower his wanted level

52:01Ethan Nestor:Okay, yeah, you're being so normal right now Everyone is like, wow, I don't even see that guy, he's so normal And their suspicion fades a little bit

52:10Mark Fischbach:Speaking better French than I do in real life I asked some of the locals around if they've seen Oui, oui, penny

52:19Ethan Nestor:Yes, yes, penny Yeah, well, okay, so this is my subconscious so I don't speak French

52:28Ethan Nestor:Turns and grabs the arm of a passerby and says oh Oui, oui, panie Je le boulevard And the guy just looks at him is like what the fuck dude stop and like bats your hand away and keeps walking and Everyone in there surrounding area saw that interaction and was like Hmm and their suspicion grows about Wade a little bit. Wade, what the fuck are you doing Wade? Wee wee penny Mark! Shut up!

52:55Mark Fischbach:That guy shouldn't be here!

52:57Ethan Nestor:Wade's outburst draws a lot of eyes to our whole table right now. Uh, I too can play at that game. Hey everybody! He's not real! He's not real!

53:10Mark Fischbach:Get him! Get him! I point at someone nearby me and go, yeah that guy isn't real!

53:15Ethan Nestor:All the pedestrians in the surrounding area all stop like robots and turn and face Wade specifically as Mark stands and points at Wade. I wasn't standing. No, I didn't stand. I was still a kiss of coffee. Okay, as Mark sits and casually, very normally, points at Wade and says, he's not real. And they all stare at Wade like they're trying to decide if they think he's real or not.

53:40Mark Fischbach:I make normal Wade jokes in ways Bob would interpret me and he's like, Yeah, he's gotta be real Make one right now or it doesn't work Me not real more like I don't have a follow-up

53:58Ethan Nestor:How sadly that is a hundred percent accurate Everyone goes back to whatever they were doing You know, that's something I would say and do how about this I look around Wow, what a concept. Why do we never do that? Ark looks around, you see a number of tables going off in both directions. There are people sitting at their tables reading newspapers. You see us sitting at our table with our coffees in front of us. You don't see any copper penny things that really catch your eye. You don't see anything that looks obviously out of place, but you have more of a sense of your surroundings right now. Okay, okay, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

54:42Ethan Nestor:No, there's no, there's nothing that looks like it's been moved or disheveled or anything that looks out of place. Everything looks like, feels like it should.

54:49Mark Fischbach:I walk back over, browse the people's newspapers as I pass by to see if maybe one of them has a penny tucked into their daily reading.

54:58Ethan Nestor:You walk and are very conspicuous and awkward as you're like, looking over people's shoulders. And everyone every new person whose shoulder you look over into the newspaper is a little bit more bothered until they all start to feel Suspicious that you're acting weird again. You don't see any pennies. I get up. I say to everyone at the table Oh, this is running right through me. I gotta go to the bathroom, but I go up to the wait waiter stand I asked for a newspaper and I go. Oh, do you have a pen? I could borrow Please and maybe some tape and so they like do they have those? Okay The waitress at the stand listens to your concern and hands you a newspaper and a pen and some tape.

55:43And I say thank you so much. By the way, I'm Markiplier. If you want a photo, you don't need to be weird about it at all. You can ask. I'll get it to you. All right, cool. I'll leave a big tip. All right, and then I walk away.

55:53Mark Fischbach:He's not been recognized and Bob's subconscious enough.

55:59Mark Fischbach:Forget that penny. I need someone to want a photo with me.

56:01Ethan Nestor:She seems unimpressed, but as you turn to walk away you notice that she's pulled her phone out and is googling markiplier But spelling it wrong can't figure out who you are. So I I take that and I write the following that I'm messaging you on it I walk back to the table, but I take the long way around behind both of you guys I go And you hand a piece of paper on it to me that says that no it's taped to you know Oh, okay. You - you on - on Wade's back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

56:32Mark Fischbach:And he doesn't notice. On my turn, I noticed.

56:36Ethan Nestor:Alright, that all - that all happens. I'll allow it. We are looking for pennies, but we - Just whatever.

56:42Mark Fischbach:We decided we're trying to break your brain instead, I think.

56:46Ethan Nestor:Uh, Wade, everyone's suspicion of you starts to gradually increase no matter what's happening. You just sort of get a sense that everyone is becoming slowly more concerned about you specifically

56:59Mark Fischbach:Man, I'm gonna go down Mark's going down with me. I'm gonna grab Mark stand up and yell to the world We are dating now He said yes, do you think his subconscious is like super homophobic or something? I can't be real. I can't be real. No, I just want you to go

57:16Ethan Nestor:I just want you to be noticed with me, but wow do you want to look look for anything while you're doing this or just

57:22Mark Fischbach:I was gonna add, while all the eyes are turning to me, I'm gonna push Mark in front of me and look him up and down and see if there's a penny on him somewhere.

57:31Ethan Nestor:He'd turn me upside down and shake me like this. We're dating now! You are standing up now, and you pick him up like a little child and shake him and sit. No pennies fall out of Mark. Just a bunch of other random shit falls out of his pockets and things, but no pennies, nothing interesting. and everyone in the surrounding area has once again stopped and locked on to you and currently seems like they're about to charge. You mean Mark? No, I mean you, Wyn.

58:02Mark Fischbach:I'm holding them. We're going down together.

58:04Ethan Nestor:I mean, they're looking at both of you, but they're looking at the guy shaking the other human upside down. I'm upside down, but I'm kind of in the air, right? So I've got a higher perspective than I did before. I glance to where I hid mine looking and then I glance to, you know, equivalent places to see some things if I see anything. God damn it. Mark is sort of dangling when he's looking and it turns out in dreams, French coffee is not so dark as it is in real life. No. Mark looks into all three of our coffee cups on the table and notices two pennies in Wade's cup and one penny in my cup on the table.

58:56I was going to look soon, but I was like, just in case, I can't give it away.

59:06Mark Fischbach:God damn it.

59:06Ethan Nestor:So what Mark sent me was I put my penny at the bottom of Wade's cup and what Wade sent me was I put my penny in my coffee I won't drink that anyway and what I wrote down on my script is I dropped my penny into my coffee

59:27Mark Fischbach:This whole time all I was like is well I can't look at the coffee cup yeah I also was like I took a sip of it being like I'll just be casual. He'll never think You're the only one who could!

59:37Ethan Nestor:Yours was the only one! If you had taken a sip of any - Either of the other ones I would have been like Oh, it tastes like copper! Whoa!

59:46Mark Fischbach:God damn well I know mine would because I put my penny there!

59:50Ethan Nestor:Alright, while Mark is being dangled upside down like a little child he just casually reaches out and YOINK! And Mark now possesses all three pennies. Which means that Wade doesn't even get another turn

1:00:02Mark Fischbach:to find his penny because mark already has it i fucking cleared 100 baby i didn't find a single penny today you were so close wade god i just i'm secretly suspicious of something mark if i win this you have more grounds for a coin flip than i've ever heard in my life all right i'll read

1:00:25Ethan Nestor:you what you got points for uh wade you got points for quite the buzz uh shia laboeuf pretty cold in here boss uh went over mark's head bare arms and me not real and that's it that was it mark you got points for sound mixing theater sick grok burn the same bose speakers you found the butt penny you found Bob's huge penny no hinge penny you found the squirrel nest penny that was both mine and Wade's and you found all three pennies including Bob's coffee penny the Bob's penny finds broke down like this for you Mark I flipped heads or tails and heads made the my penny worth an extra half point and tails made my penny worth a half point less so it was not that dramatic but you got plus half point for the hinge penny minus half a point for the squirrel minus half a point for the coffee penny so it didn't really go your way but you still got points for those you just only got half a point but that's fair i get that okay i got you that leaves wade with a total of six points and mark with a total of eight and a half points i'm not as far behind as i should have been

1:01:47Mark Fischbach:I thought that would have been a much bigger discrepancy there. You even found your own penny last time.

1:01:54Ethan Nestor:I'm sorry. Mark has ten and a half points. Okay, there we go. I didn't write down the last couple. Oh, but does he? Well, you have to say the word. Unfair. But you're calling. I'm calling it. I want this to be in my hands. My luck's way better than his.

1:02:14Mark Fischbach:Okay.

1:02:14Ethan Nestor:All right, we'll decide what happens if we have to. Mark has declared unfair. I hope we don't have to figure out what the fuck this means. Yeah, I don't know either, but I think like, uh, we'll figure it out. Yeah. Tails. Heads. Heads. Well, my tail spoiled it for everybody.

1:02:33Mark Fischbach:I think three heads would have favored Mark because he called it, so.

1:02:36Ethan Nestor:Really glad we didn't just have to figure that out. Oh my God. I'm really banking on some crazy shit on this wheel to happen today. All right. Well, let's spin another three so something fun happens shall we oh god if golf wheels comes in after this I know what an episode for come on It's three bonus spins again Oh, I didn't actually pick what I want to add to the wheel yet. I'm gonna put only wrong Answers so if there's a tie is the game involves anything where you can either be correct or incorrect or like find the penny or fail to find the penny. If you don't get any of those things, you get a point for sucking so much.

1:03:21Mark Fischbach:That favors me today. I just need that to land five times and I got this. And... Shirt closest to background! Fuck off! All right, it's Wade's. We're in the same shirt. It's the same shirt! So, Wade... I don't see that from the last time. Where's the last roll? Shirt closest to background. We've had a lot of re-rolls.

1:03:43Ethan Nestor:Yeah, oh god, okay.

1:03:45Mark Fischbach:Yeah, yeah, I completely forgot man. We've been here a long time today. All right, okay This is ridiculous I'm only down by what two and a half points now.

1:03:58Ethan Nestor:Yep mark mark currently sitting at Math wait a second ten and a half and weight is currently at eight.

1:04:05Mark Fischbach:Well mark don't get too comfortable Alright, I won't know I'm not very comfortable all right that gotta be me i didn't have a single tab open i was mark was so locked in yeah i yeah that poor bunny dad died for nothing it's nature that makes the final score

1:04:26Ethan Nestor:mark with 11 and a half and wade with eight i think you gotta be pretty happy with how close that loss is after not finding a single penny anywhere the entire time including one that was basically dangling in front of your face in one of the uh one of the uh can i uh loser speech first

1:04:48Mark Fischbach:to talk about that oh go for it there's no excuse i really dropped the ball today i was so concerned with what might lie underfoot i never thought to look high when i did i looked too high sometimes you can't shoot for the stars or settle for the dirt, but you gotta find that contentment point right in the middle. I never looked there. I don't like coffee, didn't want to look at coffee, even though I had an inkling suspicion from the start that we all three chose the coffee mug. I couldn't look there just in case. But alas, here we are. Mark truly dominated today. He deserves this win. The coins themselves spoke.

1:05:27Mark Fischbach:I've got nothing besides regret and failure to remember from this. Mark, winner speech? You know, every once in a while, just like in Uncut Gems, you have just a crazy game. I don't know what kind of gem I found, but it was awesome. I was unhinged, but locked in. And I think this is probably the first time where we ever had like a interception of the coin. And I think that honestly might have solidified it, because the score was a lot closer than I thought. So if I had not done that, and then some points got chucked the other way, it could have been anyone's game out there. So I think I was smart on my feet with this one.

1:06:06It was a risky play, but hey, at the end of the day, that's another dub.

1:06:10Mark Fischbach:I'll take that. If you put two L's together, you get a W.

1:06:16Ethan Nestor:Well, just keep racking up the L's, Wade. Eventually there'll be W's.
