Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Distractable. I'm today's host, Wade, joined as always by my co-host, Mark and Bob. Hi. Hello. I don't know. I'm sorry, sir. I would never interrupt your introduction. I appreciate that very much. No, go on, though. You know, what would you have to say? No, it would be. I was just going into small talk, but I don't need to.

3:26You know what? Let's do small talk. Mark, did you have something? Well, I was just gonna mention about you know this red spot in my eye I don't even know if it was in the last episode I was like wow, why does it look like I'm bleeding out of my eyes? Go on. I was just gonna say like Amy got me this new retinol and good for your skin But your first thought was splash it in your eyes. Well, you know how men apply face anything right where you just

3:52Aggressively put it in like a baking pan and then you just dip your face in like mrs. Doubtfire I'm not foreign to skin care, right? But I think it just like got in here and it burned. It hurts. It hurts. Hmm. Poor eye. I don't know, man. I feel like I've ruined the beginning of this episode, guys. I don't know. You're being so awkward. That's like a very normal. That's like what we do here. I feel like I ruined it. Take away a point. I will, but I'm not going to tell you who it's going away from. Well, it better be from Mark or I'll fucking find you. And I know where you live, so it'll be really easy to find you.

4:25It would not be hard for you to find me. That's true. Unless you live in Howell's moving castle. I'm pretty sure I remember Mark, what's new with you? You've done your mom. You've had your small talk, right? All right. I go again No, yeah, let's focus on mark. You're right. You're right. You're right. Let's do with you, buddy People are gonna people are gonna criticize me This is very privileged of me to say and I will always I will admit it full-on I did some I said I wouldn't do and you guys called it go on What do we call, Mark? You know that graphics card? Yeah? The$10 ,000 one. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

5:04Well, I bought it. Did we call that that was going to happen? Yeah, you did. I didn't buy it for the$10 ,000. I bought it for not any better. $8 ,000. I bought it for$12 ,000. Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's 20 % off. Yeah, it's less, but it's still egregious, right? and everyone probably is balking like oh my god i can't even fathom this but the thing is like it's it's for work right so i'm doing way more 3d vfx than i ever thought i would do and right now i'm working on a scene that's like there's a lot of physical simulation but there's also a lot of like there's no real excuse but this is fucking fast this is fucking trucks through the oh my god it should for that price point shouldn't it i've been on a mac a lot lately i was even doing some of the houdini stuff on a mac because it's like it was working um but its gpu isn't really its cpu is very good its gpu is like okay um and you can't get an external gpu mac doesn't allow that anymore with it so i switched back to windows and i had i i have a 4090 in in this computer um i i actually managed to figure out a way to get those very cheap by the way i don't i think i let people in on my little secret and i because i can't find any of the refurbished computers that i was harvesting for him anymore so i don't want to talk about my secrets too much here but the the limitation between the 4090 and this graphics card is the vram the video ram there's four times as much in this new card it's not only faster but it's four times as much and that allows you to work with larger textures um larger like asset files and the scene can be bigger without having to kick it over to anyway it's long story i did it points were assigned accordingly i bought it and yes it was an egregious amount of money but looking at it from a productivity standpoint and a work standpoint as a business expense which it is and i am going to take advantage of that as a business expense i just gotta say it fucking rips and i hate that it does because i want all the other graphics card companies to win by nvidia and man they're just they're fucking god it's just like i wish it wasn't it's not just hype they actually are pretty good yeah and it's like i hate it because they are charging such egregious prices for these cards because they know they can because there just isn't and when you look at it from a work standpoint it's like holy fuck but also i know that it's going to hold its value so down the road i will sell it for whatever the next one is and roll into that you you seem conflicted about this and you feel uh i don't know ashamed or something is it better or worse linus tech tips recently released a video where they were uh they it was sponsored by amd but they ended up purchasing uh it's like an an asus rogue astral whatever it's a 5090 but it's made with 24 karat gold and it's a ten thousand dollar graphics card but it's only ten thousand dollars because it's a regular high-end 50 90 that has a bunch of gold on it for no reason it's just fancy and he bought that and then they did a video where they did a gold build around and it turned out pretty cool and then they uh they ended up giving it away to a fan on the street which was really hilarious is it better or worse that you bought one that's actually like meaningfully different performance wise and you're using for actual projects or that linus bought one for a similar amount of money put it into a gaudy gold computer build and then gave it away just for content purposes is that better or worse i think i'm better because the 5090 versus this card is actually different even though they're of the same generation so that the card that i bought has three times as much vram as the 5090 and the 5090 is not a very big jump from the 4090 but this one is they save the best for the productivity one i just want everyone to recognize that like i am a hypocrite i said i was not going to i said there was no way i don't need that back when you said that i could see it on your face that you were already like i don't need that i don't i don't i don't need that i don't i don't i just don't i don't need that it's fun with the water i don't need it i don't need it but i gotta say man if if you are doing the 3d work like there it's just it's not fair it's not fair the landscape is not This is why I don't want Intel to die, even though they seem to be doing everything possible to die.

9:32Like, everything, every time I see an article about Intel, it's like they're trying to explode as a company. But it's just like, man, there's gotta be more competition. There has to be. It's just so unfair. Oh! Oh, fucking goddammit! It's been called and declared! Please don't take away the GPU that I bought. Please don't take it away. So if it's all heads, Mark has to buy another one. If it's all tails, Mark has to cut it in half and send half to Wade and me. Wait, those are both bad for me. Unfair has been declared. I don't think I know it works. We don't have to decide before we flip. We just have to flip and see if we have to decide.

10:16Okay, all right. Tails? Eds. Okay. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Well, there goes the coin for the day. It's such a jump scare. Yeah, that one might have been really bad for you, man. Yikes. Man, I've been writing down some points. Guys, they're going to come get me. Who? Why? Where are you going? The water people. Look, I talked about this, I think, in the last episode, but I recently have been working on our hot tub. And an issue that I can't get a clear answer on, which I find really confusing, is you're You're supposed to drain the hot tub, right? It's not built into the ground. It's just in a thing that sits on the ground full of water and the water needs to go somewhere.

11:03Right. And I sort of, I didn't, without looking into it, I was like, I guess you just run a hose like from the hot tub, like over to the sewer train, I guess. Cause our, we don't have like drains that go back to the ocean or anything. They go to water treatment. I think, I don't know. And I ended up looking into it and I can't get a fucking clear answer. So I don't know if I did the right thing or not. I neutralized the chemicals because hot tubs still have like chlorine in them and stuff. Neutralized the chemicals and balanced the water back out. So it should just be normal water. And then I just, I was like, I don't know if I put it in the sewer or my yard.

11:35I ended up just draining it into my own yard because we have a big side yard and the grass is all fine. No, the grass didn't all die or anything crazy. If there are going to be rules about shit, which I'm totally on board with, someone needs to have an answer as to what the actual rule is. I know that this is a problem because of the structure of our government as a country and in state and local governments and blah, blah, blah, blah. But like fucking all I wanted to do is drain the water out of this thing. And it's just water. Like I wouldn't recommend it, but it was drinkable water filled with, you know, human dead skin cells or whatever it goes in hot tubs.

12:09Gross, but like non-toxic. I still don't know if I did the right thing. How hard is it to fucking have a thing where it's like, yes, you may drain hot tub water into your own yard or no we recommend you do that nobody and all the answers on the internet are like well you probably even the government even like my county government website was like well if you live in certain parts of the county uh you could probably put it in your storm drain but make sure the cops don't see you doing it the government website don't let the cops see you like i swear to god i figured i would go to like my my local city government website or i'd go to the county or the state nobody knows they all have different answers and it's not i didn't hurt anything i don't think sell it i don't want to sell it we just got it last year no not the hot tub the water sell the water yeah isn't gamer water still a thing people want you guys want some podcaster ass juice.

13:09I got podcaster ass juice. The main part of me that goes in it is my ass because it's a hot tub, so you're sort of chested down, right? All three of our asses had been in that water. I wish the coin was still in place so I could call that on your words. Good lord. I could sell a bottle and sell Markiplier's ass juice. Why is it mine? Why is it mine? You were in there. We did that episode. We were in that hot tub. I feel like it would have diluted at this point lots of stuff diluted into that ass juice but there is undeniably some some tiny fraction of a percent of markiplier's ass juice in that water that's now my i have markiplier's ass yard maybe i should market my yard as a place people can come sniff you haven't cycled it at all since then not rain water came in it's covered it's covered it rain water doesn't get into hot tubs because it would unbalance the chemicals because it's only like four or five hundred gallons of watt anybody we haven't been using it right i haven't cleaned it since we did that but also we we sort of stopped using it because it was like oh i need to clean it ah it's the middle of winter but yeah no i leaked a bunch of mark pliers ass juice all over my yard i guess and i don't know if it was legal i hope it was legal i think that's one of the things about being being grown up now that we're all grown ups and we have all these sorts of things in our lives that we have to like do and take care of which there was an answer sometimes man how much fucking oh just you wait now you're gonna get a million answers now they're all gonna be different no yeah no well yeah that's the other part of it but like how much would i give if something happened to the house and it was like oh the the water heater broke what should i do and there was a place i could go that would be like uh you should probably do this here's an answer instead of the internet where it's like you should do this never do that only do this you're evil if you do that even if i google it oh wait yeah i want to ask you guys this and i want to throw this out to the to the watch listeners is there anything you can use that's not google for search engines like and i'm aware there's like there are other ones bing bing is tough bing doesn't work very well and i know there's like duck duck go wolfram alpha is kind of a kind of search engine but it's not really a search engine it does like is there other stuff does ask jeeves still exist it's ask.com now i think right but i just googled ask jeeves ask jeeves that's different yeah old ass jeeves but Is there anything anyone could recommend?

15:32Because I'm so sick of... You know, it confuses me. Like, I know Google right now is a gigantic company, but all these other search engines started at the same time. How did Google go from all these other search engines being like, you know, middle, small companies to the towering monolith that exists to rule over all of it? I don't understand where that jump happened. Because you see pictures of early Google and they got like 10 employees, then like 50 employees, then 100 employees, and then suddenly they have 40 ,000 employees. They did a lot of breeding. Oh, they're all in the family? That's questionable.

16:07I don't care for that at all. I don't know why Google is the one that took, maybe because the name just caught on, people like saying Google. Like now it's part of our vocabulary, but back then it was a new unique word. Anyway, just if anyone has anything, I have looked and I'm aware of the most obvious answers, But if you've got a really good dark horse search engine that you use or something that you do to like. And yes, I know you can just type minus AI into Google and it will generally. I just I would love if there's a secret out there I'm unaware of. It's all I want to know. Not that it's a competition, but this podcast usually is.

16:42And Bob, you are definitely winning right now. Hell yeah. Actually, it is a competition. So you can't say it's not. Thank you for listening. I think you deserve some kind of point for that. Uh-huh. Something is getting written down, that's for sure. I don't think you quite crushed it there, bud. Ah, ah, ee, ah, ah, ah. Yep, you're almost there. Well, if I go from this end. Ow! Ow! It's cutting my hand. That has to be worth a lot of points, right? Ow, ow. I don't know what I'm doing with my life. But it's time for you to keep small talk.

17:21nice segue it's no i'm just very i've also distracted because the reason i'm talking about is because someone is remoting into this computer that's next to me and i'm watching a mouse go by and a timeline go like all over in the side and then i'm talking with them at the same time as they're asking like where's this file where's this file dana's remote desktop right over there working on one of my videos you don't see me being distracted oh yeah i'm the only one who doesn't have someone remote desktopping into their space right now what the fuck am i doing that's why i have a second computer in my office so she can remote desktop i didn't realize i was living in 1983 damn we've been we've been doing that for pretty much the last nine or ten years like since we've been working together she's been remote desktopping since that's why i have the whole synology setup so all my files go there and she can access it and edit yeah you know you could have her have a synology too and you could sync so she could move don't know how that works You don't know how it works You don't know how what you have works So that's not surprising to me Listen man, I find a way where things work And then I don't touch it Until it stops working then I beg you guys for help You know what, I would make fun of you But it's worked this far Somehow I'm 13 years into a career Without knowing a thing about what I'm doing I'm surprised you can even get your computer turned back on When it accidentally shuts itself down There are days where I don't know It gets real stingy All due respect host man no respect at all host man that's reflected in your points thank you thank you 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.

19:09But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up. Flip the sip. Fall has never looked or tasted this good.

All right, now it's time for the game. we're gonna do something only done once before by me the last time i hosted it's monkey's paw 2 oh boy oh boy i still had half of my list left and i liked my list so we're gonna go through it do i get to win this one because i won the first monkey's paw one sure i mean right now it looks like you might all right well unfortunately this is the only other time i get to use this coin today because somebody went off prematurely with the unfair so but now we could say unfair whenever we want don't get too comfortable and we're gonna ruin it for the next few episodes fun fair bun fair yeah we can't it'll be like boy who cried unfair and we'll get used to it you know what mark i'm feeling for you looking at the points a little bit do you want to be heads or tail doesn't matter what i think it's still the same chance how is this mark he's giving you a choice he's giving you agency i want to be the one it lands on The one it lands opposite so it's the ones that's up Fuck When it lands the one up Bob do you want to be heads or tails?

21:56I make tails Alright thanks man Ow my ears It's heads Mark got his wish Hey Mark you were the one that it would land it up And not down on but up was you You got it You got what you wanted Mark you get to go first Woo Most convoluted answer to heads or tails I want to be the victor But I want to be the opposite of the victor So that way when the victor is flipped I'm actually the victor You guys want to see the most unhinged snack in the world I am currently dipping Kettle chips like regular Salted potato chips Into strawberry cream cheese Wait Amy just got strawberry cream cheese Just recently I bet that would be delicious If you like a sweet and salty It's a pretty good mix of things Oh great Alright Mark You land your dream job but you never get to stop doing it there's no retiring there's no stopping ever never an end in sight this is my life as it is what are you talking about this is literally what i do every day but you can't get bored and switch to something new once you this is it okay so my what i do right now is like okay let's say making movies or whatever it's like making entertainment that's a lot of different disciplines involved in it that's why i constantly come out of like i bought Photographics card, boo-hoo.

23:16You know, I built a render farm, boo-hoo. You know, Glauber salts, boo-hoo. You know, lenses, boo-hoo. Does that count of like having a job that requires a bunch of skills? I mean, technically it's your job, so I can't argue it, but you can never stop. This is easy. I don't want to stop. I want to slide into my grave. I don't think he's going to stop. Yeah, slide into my grave wishing I could do more. The only time you're ever going to get Tunis honest is when Mark finds out he has almost exactly one year to live. And at the end of the year, Mark dies. All right. That's the channel. That's not bad.

23:52Just keep that one locked and loaded for when you get that news from the doctor. And then no retirement. You work till you die. Bob, you taking it? Can my job be being painfully wealthy and handsome? I don't think so. And I can never stop. Does it have to be a job I can currently do? Or can it be whatever I so choose? because I think I have a dream job that would be pretty fun to do for the rest of my life but it involves having to work I mean this is our job what does that mean what like I know what hard work is I would probably not take that no does this just does not taking it mean that I never get to do my dream job in any form or fashion I think it's just not guaranteed I think this is like you get whatever the dream job is you get it like it doesn't if you don't like you still could get there i guess but like because if i'm being 100 honest if i did take it i don't even know for sure what the dream job would be like obviously right now what we're doing and what has shaken out with being on the internet doing youtube and streaming and stuff has been pretty awesome but there was basically no point up until i started doing this when i like finished law school and i was like all right i'm gonna do youtube i think and see if it works where there was no point where I was like god I hope I can make it work oh it's my dream job I don't know if I have I think my dream is to not have a job I think I'd like to do lots of other stuff with like family and travel and you know things that aren't generally considered jobs mostly so I don't know if I I don't even know what it would be if I was if I snapped my fingers and that was my reality I'm not sure I have a set dream job that is kind of funny to think about because I'm in a similar boat so it's like if that were to snap would I still be in this or would there be something different what would it be definitely nothing i can imagine doing that would be more fun than this is yeah but yeah like that's a tough competition because we just get to come and record these things and kind of goof off and hang out for you know a few hours a week it's pretty fun what if we just got to rollerblade around and eat steak like what if that became our job wait what the fuck what's the job title for that steak skater roller staker i feel like i would get bored of rollerblading i wouldn't get more to the stake but the rollerblading i feel like might get a little old bomb we can stay with you you become the most attractive version of yourself you could hope for but mirrors photos and videos always capture the worst version of you oh i don't fucking care i i already hate the way i look in most mirrors mirrors photos and videos so how much worse could it be i think the flip side of that is i got low i got low hopes for how much more attractive I could be I don't know what's possible but I'm I'm not a dreamer you know I'm a real downer this episode guys sorry about that I'd probably take this I'd probably take this but just because like if you've watched if you're a watcher you know I'm not that concerned about how I look already it's fine I don't look good in pictures I'll survive I feel like what would happen is you would instantly Johnny Bravo like just your shoulders would go and you just like Pronounced chin hair goes up.

26:59It's literally yeah, just a handsome Squidward. It's just that filter But what does that do the rest of the body what I get skinny or would I still be I feel like Johnny Bravo is like you're a tube of toothpaste and you get squeezed in the middle and like muscles up and then It takes from all the lower bodies. Your your legs are like this, but really big feet normal legs huge feet huge feet Yeah, that's fine. That sounds alright. Take that all right mark all right so i think the the most ideal version of myself is if my mom actually fed me as a baby i feel like that's the reason maybe i'd be a little taller my mom openly admits was there just like a bottle of milk that would drip one drip every few hours you're like clinging to life i can't say that my childhood choices in nutrition were any better because anytime i had a chance it was straight those yard pixie sticks so i can't say it was only my parents doing i think i also contributed to my lack of nutrition and i'm not saying i'm short but i feel like i could have been taller i feel just a little bit you were deprived of a whole foot of nutrition dude that's such a marketing opportunity instead of fruit by the foot they could pack it full of vitamins and just call it you by the foot man i gotta tell you there are some crazy good uh protein-based foods coming out i'm so happy we're getting out of the fat free era of things and getting into the protein heavy snacks and foods i've been having these protein waffles every morning almost every morning they they're probably the best waffles i've ever had uh and compared to the eggo waffles i was eating when i was a kid like those had no protein you like a good meat waffle basically it's got it each waffle has like 10 grams of protein in it you know it's not like no sugar or nothing but it's it's crazy it's crazy how much protein is in there um or maybe i don't know it might be lying but if i'd had that as a kid you know maybe maybe a bit more nutrition anyway sidebar i don't think i would take this one because my entire existence kind of is and especially my dream job is about being videoed and uh and and as much as i would love to say like it's not about the aesthetics it's not about you know looks or something like that if i was a horrible hideous monster i can't say i would be as far as i am now.

29:16I gotta say I can't take that deal. Some people on the internet are vain and they judge people by their looks. Not many. It's a lot. Let's be honest. It's most of the internet. We know you're out there. That's why we keep Mark around. He's the hot one. Thanks you. Eddie has good mannerisms. Mark you get to accomplish everything you wanted to in life but you only get to live another 10 years. Deal. I don't know if you could accomplish all the things that I assume you aspire to in life in a decade I'm not I'm not looking for the accomplishing things part of this guaranteed no when I'm gonna die you don't understand how motivating that would be you know how motivating it would be if I knew I would live exactly 10 years you know how much that's a long time 10 years is a long time you know how much I would get done that tunis honest idea oh okay that would be something it's it's really just like i could never accomplish everything i want to do anyway because i'm just one guy and no one can in their life but if i knew i had 10 years oh i would never waste a day i would probably waste a couple days but i would i would oh it would be would you trust it like would you be like i can go run in traffic knowing i can't die like would you maybe maybe if it's guaranteed 10 years i feel like that's not part of it necessarily is that part of it you're invulnerable for 10 years but you die at 10 years like you could still die it's probably just like you will absolutely die in 10 years maximum you will have a traumatic brain aneurysm that is unrecoverable at exactly 10 years and you will die no questions asked isn't that one of the fastest ways to go though or maybe not i don't know i i believe if you have the correct kind of completely catastrophic aneurysm that's one of the one of them more like instantaneous ways you can go but i don't know that for sure i might be making that up i make a lot of stuff up i'm like chat gpt i just guess just sound confident oh yeah yeah yeah that's like the that's like the best way to die that's like the most painless a lot of people say that's a great way to die the best way i hear i hear drowning it's like falling asleep you know you're just gonna um you know you're sleepy under the ocean.

31:28Plus you get to hang, you get to talk to the fish while you're down there and uh, they know some, they see some shit, you know? I mean, it's, everyone's gotta die some way. So honestly, like knowing, I feel like knowing would be super motivating, but then again, I think differently about death than a lot of people do. I think that's tough because I do agree that having that would be really motivating in a way that I think is very easy to take for granted. And you get to accomplish everything. I'm less interested, honestly, in the accomplishing everything. Like I very much get the idea of like, I know when I will die.

32:02So I know how much time I have. So I know I need to make all of this count. It's so easy on a day to day basis to just be like, I'll just do it tomorrow. Or like, nah, I don't feel like it or whatever. Like I fall into that trap with a lot of stuff and it makes me feel that's probably one of my biggest personal struggles is like, I feel like garbage a lot of the time because I'm, I fall into the procrastination trap and then I'll be like laying awake at three in the morning like, oh, why didn't I do that? Oh, I don't deserve. I'm terrible. And it's like a self pattern of self, you know, loathing about like, I should just do these things.

32:41But in the moment, if you are sore or tired or you just did a bunch of other shit and you're like, I don't want to do this next thing. if you have a timeline and you know i feel like that would completely change my outlook on life and help with that because i don't feel good about how much i procrastinate don't you feel like that last day or week or month or something would just be really fucking tough my my ultimate answer would still be i don't think i would take this one mainly because i think my top priority is meaningful time spent with people and like mainly family hopefully mainly james as he grows up and But like everyone, friends, even people I don't really know, time spent like live on stream, time spent talking to chat, time spent connecting with people, I feel like is kind of the only way you get to impact the world beyond your lifetime.

33:30Unless you're like a genius and you invent something. I'm not that kind of smart. I'm not going to invent the next thing that saves a bunch of lives or changes the world. But I do feel like I want as much good time as I can have to connect with people and hopefully impact people positively. Even in my own head right now, I'm like, oh, that's so hypocritical. You're such a lazy sack. But having the timeline would help with the procrastination. But I do think that's my priority. I think I'd pass because if I could have 30 more years and maybe I have some regrets, I don't accomplish things, but I get to live my priorities and I get to have that time with people, I think I would rather have that.

34:05It'd be nice if I could figure out how to live with a little more urgency. But I think I'm not the only one who struggles with that, I'm sure I'm a terrible procrastinator and the worst thing was it was reinforced in school because like I would write a paper the night before and get a much better grade than a paper I wrote a week before I remember AP English I spent like a long time a lot of effort redid like went through reread it proofread whatever this paper and I got like a C minus I was like dude I'm an A student if I'm gonna be getting C's by putting this much effort in I might as well just fail I'm not gonna put that much work in to get a C and then I started procrastinating ended up with an A in the class It was like, I'm reinforcing my bad behavior.

34:44Lesson learned. I've always felt like I work better under a crunch. It's so motivating because I know a lot of people don't think about dying because they're like, I don't want that scary. They don't think about it. But everyone is going to die. Everything that's ever lived has died. And it's like, if you know, you're not just going to spend 10 years going like.

35:10one day down i don't think that anyone would do that you know everyone who's ever lived has died and they're doing fine because i mean like okay when people get uh let's say a cancer diagnosis that's devastating and it's bad because you don't get you you have a clock on your life for the most part treatments have gotten better but you have a clock a countdown suddenly and those years going into that are not going to be great because you've got treatments and chemotherapy and all this stuff Like, I'm sure we've all seen someone in our lives or gone through it themselves, people out there. But if you had 10 good years, 10 good solid years where you could do anything, you could do it to the best of your ability.

35:47I feel like it would be very motivating. I agree. That last day would be wild. Like, if you knew it was coming, if you got a diagnosis or something, you know, it was coming that last day. But like, if you're just healthy and walking around and, you know, today's the day you're supposed to die. How scary would that actually be? What if it's what if it's painless, though? What if you just you're just standing there and you're like, all right, 10 seconds, everybody. I love you all. And then you just get sucked straight down to hell. I assume. I assume. I assume. Because this is some kind of deal with the devil nonsense with the monkey's paw, right?

36:22So I assume. A monkey's paw claws up, just grabs your leg and yanks you down. You're just sitting in your living room with all your friend and loved ones. It's candles lit. You know, they're all like boohoo. But also, oh, this is so nice. We get to say goodbye.

36:38It would be a painless It would be a painless transition To eternal damnation and suffering There's no pain There's no pain

36:53Bob You can swap bodies And lives with people But you can never go back once you swap You can go forward You can never go back There's actually a movie about this do you get to pick with whom you're swapping yeah and do you leave them in your previous body so you're just shifting a bunch of people out of their bodies it's unclear what happens to them oh that would be really interesting can you use this to effectively become immortal what is your judgment on that because if you keep swapping into younger and younger bodies could you basically just live forever by i would say no i think you eventually i don't know it doesn't there's not really a clear indicator i didn't think about that so there's not really a clear indicator on because if it's like you die when your body dies your your consciousness just goes with it or something definite hard pass if it's like a you can be immortal you can live an entire lifetime in a body and then just do a switch real quick right when you're you know you're getting older and you're like all right new lifetime and start and go go to some newborn infant thing and switch bodies into a like kid if you could do that i would say it's unclear you know you don't die when your body dies but like you might still just get a one normal lifespan it's hard to say i think the biggest consideration on this for me if i'm applying it to real world situations and not just thinking about myself in a bubble i don't think i could do that to other people i think the biggest problem i have with that is i couldn't i would not be able to use that power because if you're doing it to a newborn that means you're swapping a newborn's consciousness into the body of a whatever 70 something year old oh you're saying if you yeah okay or or you're swapping someone who's an adult who has an entire lifetime of experiences into another body against their will like i there's no version of the practical practical side of that that i feel like i could live with i couldn't do it it's fascinating though and i would really want to potentially especially if you could like live a bunch of lifetimes and keep you know finding new new babies to start over in or whatever like that sounds weird but like you kick their their soul out of the you know that stupid baby get out of here does it go down to hell the same way it's painless it's painless mark you're a sadomasochist probably not would you take this deal all right so it's it's basically just there was an x-men movie where the guy the guy was i i didn't really understand it but he was able to hop bodies and also keep the mutant powers their definition of mutant really stretched towards some of those movies like mutant is a genetic like tweak i don't know how you jump a body and carry the genetic anyway wasn't that kind of the thing that he he would jump bodies and took over and got their mutant powers at the same time right i'm honestly completely unfamiliar with that but that sounds like a thing i believe you i believe You can swap bodies with people and lives, but you can never go back once you make the swap.

39:52Okay. I don't know, man. I guess if it would depend. Okay. If I wanted to keep doing what I'm doing right now, then no. But if I wanted to be like an egomaniacal take over the world slowly and surely, chuck bodies out like they're trash. Do they remember what happens when you jump a body? What happens to the old body? Do they just like, oh, that was weird. you swap so whoever was oh interesting so you leave a trail of what the fuck behind yeah it would be pretty hard i think if you're doing that with conscious adult people to to not have someone talk about what you're doing unless you leave yourself like tied up somewhere like soma style yeah do you do you have to touch them to swap bodies do you have to nope you just choose to swap but you can never go back yeah sure why not you know what it's such it's such an interesting thing i feel like it would lead down this road where eventually you would not be able to bear the weight of your existence and the the the pain you would have inflicted because nobody else could go back could you do it with animals not it body swap uh but you know what i mean

41:11first you got a body swap into an animal and then then it's fine but if you do it before no no no yeah no then you can do it with animals that's allowed oh man it'd be it'd be like you're um like the third eye three-eyed raven types abilities from game of thrones but you just actually become the animal be really weird with the animals in a human body with a human brain yeah i don't know if i want that part of it you can add that part but i'm taking the deal but i I don't think I'm going to do that. Oh, Mark, you're going to love this one. You can breathe underwater and even in space, but you become and stay intensely afraid of both places.

41:50All right, so Mark can breathe underwater. Yeah, I'll take it. There's no difference. I mean, I think it means like you would never even want to go into space as an astronaut. You'd be afraid of swimming in pools and stuff, maybe even. Look, I'm fine with the idea of being able to breathe in space. This is more of a disaster relief kind of thing. Because if I'm ever in the ocean, it's against my will. So if I'm in the ocean, though, like I've dropped in the middle of it, at least I could breathe. Right? I think the thing that gets me, though, is like, if you're intensely afraid of being underwater, it means like even something like swimming or a pool or a lake, like all of those things become like immensely terrifying.
