In short

Distractible episode featuring (1) “Oxford 3002” word-guessing game with “French-er” style one-word directional clues, and (2) personal updates about travel vaccines causing severe fever/chills, hot-dog overindulgence, reading Dungeon Crawler Carl and Project Hail Mary, and Wade’s recurring heart-racing episodes discussed as possible PSVT/atrial fibrillation.

Guests

Mark (Warhammer 40K reader; “literate” in the group; plays the game as “lion”); Wade (reads books; mentions Apple Watch; discusses heart symptoms; plays “lion” second); Bob is the host (Superman-themed intro; runs the episode and game).

Key claims

Mark nearly died from a week of eating five hot dogs in one day; Wade’s nighttime heart pounding may be PSVT and should be checked by a doctor; Mark’s fever episode included urethral thermometer use and a suspected high fever after travel vaccines; the “easy 3000” game is about guiding guesses via short directional words.

Notable examples

“standing room only,” “sphincterier,” “minimum,” “wherever,” “aspect ratio” (16:9, 4:3, 1:1), and “minimalism”/“Frank Lloyd Wright” style clues.

Witty Wade Swallows Sausage, Goes Crawling, Fears Myocardial Infarctions, Then Sphinctures His Yang Hole. From Superfan Superman, To Caring Less. Yes, it's time for Oxford 3002. Now sit back, and prepare to be distracted, and enjoy the show. Hello everybody and welcome to Superman's favorite podcast. You can't prove that it's not. Unless, does he canonically have a favorite? Yeah, distractible. Super de-duper man. Oh, I don't know enough about comic books to make this joke.

2:39I asked him and he told me. We're his favorite, Superman's favorite. That's us. That's right, it's distractible. You talk to Superman? Yeah, we're buddies. On the reg? I go to his fortress of quietude and I hang out with him and his cat and we talk about podcasts and is this all true? That sounds like Superman. Kinda. It's made of dry ice. The cat? The cat. Yeah, the cat. I see. Anyway, if you've never seen Distractable before, my name's Bob and I'm the host because I won the last one. There's two other guys here. They're competing to win this one because then that means they host the next one.

There's no constitution or any other bullshit It's just those three rules Three, two, that one rule really is what matters The people who will be competing today As always, as only ever, are Mark and Wade Hi, hello I thought we were just leaning into the viewers today You don't have to address the listeners You can just, we could just do a sign language episode I love the listeners Because I love ears

3:44Mark Fischbach:He's an ear man, we got an ear man over here I'm an ear man everyone knows this I don't know well my voice had to change to call you an ear man but now you're an ear man last ear man was in 1920s before talkies came on the scene they need the ear man in one ear out the other end you'll know what I'm saying I'd like to go in both what I don't like what just crashed into your 1920s and I'm not a fan of it whatever that was I hate it the penguin gun there the old transatlantic kentucky accent there um anyway welcome to the episode how's it going fellas we i have a game i do have a game i know everyone expects me to be unprepared because i'm always unprepared but i'm prepared and the more i say it the more true it becomes but before we do that how's it going you guys got any small talk anything going on in your cool lives yeah i do Um, so I went through some of the most devastating, bowel exploding, body shaking, adverse reactions you've ever experienced.

4:54You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Kinda. There's been a few times. I'm familiar. What happened? I went. You hear that? No. Fucking ghosts. All right. Amy and I were going to travel soon. both for our honeymoon and for other reasons. So it's like, oh, we need to get some travel vaccines, right? To go to certain places, you need certain vaccines. I go to this travel vaccine place, right? I won't name it, but it was fine. First one was fine there. And I went there because I don't know what's recommended to go to these places. So it's like, we're going here, here, here, and here. What do we need?

5:35And it's like, well, let me pull up your vaccine records. and it's like oh you haven't had your tetanus in fucking forever you haven't gotten a boost yeah do you go to the doctor and i'm like well i swear i go to the hospital a lot but you know i don't usually don't usually uh i guess i haven't really checked in on that um so i needed four four vaccines two new two boosters well three new one booster or something like that i don't know they got the super syringe you know for the everything oh the big juicer yeah the every 10 year kind of mega one they it's normal size for bob and i but for you it would look like that okay come on man come on man sorry uh sorry i got that's hope that wheel spin doesn't come back to bite me later come on man come on yeah i'm i'm making note of the short joke but it was really funny come on man all right yeah it was funny so i get all mine i take it like a champ you know um i didn't even cry you know ah four band-aids bam bam bam two on each arm right get home i'm like okay i'll probably feel a little a little funky because when i when i got the covid vaccine you know that was the last time i took one and i felt sick oh yeah that one always hits me too yeah usually i take the flu vaccine i don't feel that bad but i started feeling a little queasy and then my stomach started rumbling and then I had the worst chills I've ever had in my life.

7:08I was under three blankets, one of which was a heating blanket and I couldn't stop shivering. It was a heat wave here in Los Angeles. It was 95 degrees outside, sun blaring. I was laying out on my driveway, I felt comfortable. Like I could feel my body starting to cook like on the, the, the, I don't have blacktop driveway, but it's like darker. And I was just like, Oh wow, this is kind of nice. And then I saw I was going to throw up. I couldn't tell if it was from the sickness or from, you know, just being in the sun like that. Uh, so I go in and draw a hot bath, lay in that and i'm just like i can't get warm no matter what the second the second like i'm i'm out of the heat i just start shivering violently um so i go into a fugue state for about six eight hours i have no idea just on the couch under the heated blankets after the bath and i was like and we didn't have a thermometer i wanted to know what my temperature was yeah you might have been running a fever of some kind that's a good good call well i bet i was like i'm i must be hitting a record right 122 i got it at the high score here i really would that was my only thought because i know if you get too high of a fever you know you you should go to the high yeah you did yeah no hospital first probably yeah yeah but you should see if your body could take it first yeah yeah so um what was unfortunate is um i was sleeping it off and usually you know if i sleep it off but amy started to get worried because it was going on for so long as I was starting to woke up and I started feeling a little better the chills finally went away and it was it was funny because three blankets heated blanket felt comfortable oh my god I'm dying from heat like it was boom instantly I woke up like ah sweat like just just the entire couch was just soaked because I was napping on the couch just like sweat everywhere instantly so I must have been very very warm and so she gets it like She goes to the pharmacy to get me some Gatorade because I'm like dying of thirst.

9:12I need some electrolytes. She comes back and we get the thermometer and I'm like, I feel fine now at this point. I feel fine. So I'm like, it's probably going to be normal. Let's just check to make sure. I feel fine. I feel way less chills than I did before. 100 degrees. And that's when I felt fine. So I really must have had a high fever. yeah if you hit like 104 you're like you're close to the dying part and you're supposed to really get to the hospital part yeah i i probably should we'll have we have a thermometer now i probably should have probably should have kept that around did you go rectal or did you be are you a wuss uh one ear out the other i go a whole i go urethral actually is what i have for my thermometer ah that's the other yeah that's the good way yeah it's the only way to get an accurate reading yeah plus when you're done you just pee it back out it's self-ejecting you don't have to you have to do anything it's convenient uh so that was my weekend that's not great dude i'm glad you have a thermometer now you might have set some kind of record i might have yeah but this is the thing is like i've actually had time to have like weekends to myself so for some reason the past few weekends, I just haven't been able to relax.

10:30And so last weekend was kind of the, what do they call it? The cream on the cake, the icing on the cake, you know, it's the cream. Maybe he did it at a high temperature for a little bit. Marcus, Marcus broke. He don't work no more. So I'm better now. I feel great. I've had an upload schedule, which is nice. And everything else is going great. The minor heat induced brain damage you know i can shrug that off and i'm i'm good man i feel like i lost a few pounds in that time when i was going through that man hold on i need to go get these vexing can you send me what you got yeah just go to the doctor say like give me the big one get the big one oh i haven't had i need that big syringe i think it might have been the typhoid one that got me i think it's a

11:19Mark Fischbach:Pokemon. Typhoid. Typhoid. Typhoid. Go. Typhoid Mary. Go. Whoa. That was tasteless. Yeah, man. A little bit. Oh, I'm sorry. We can't make Typhoid Mary jokes. Honestly, I barely registered because I was trying to think of my own joke, and then when you said that, I was like, I don't know if mine's going to beat that. I thought, oh, it evolves into Typhlosion, but I was like, that's a real Pokemon. Is that funny? Is it not funny? Typhlosion? Yeah. Typhlosion? Really? The Gen 2 Starter. Cyndaquil, Willama, Typhlosion. It's real. It's real. It's real. Mark, you smashed your past this Typhlosion at one point.

11:56Mark Fischbach:Did I? It's like a fire ferret. I don't think I ever got its name. I think I just saw pictures. You looked at one. You know, you've seen it. It's real. You don't need to know a name to smash your past, I guess. Well, we're glad you're alive. Yeah, we're talking about how you apparently almost died in the last week. Apparently, yeah. Yeah, man. Yeah. That's an adventure of its own kind. Good job surviving thank you thank you i tried wait how did you almost die this past week i had five hot dogs in the week or in the one one day fuck yeah man uh over the course of a whole day or four hours okay this is this is either a really you know normal day sad day or or were you in a competition so I had three conies I had three conies from Skyline oh those are tiny but they have chili and cheese on them sure sure and then we went to my nephew had like a birthday get together and they were grilling out Molly and I didn't have a lot of time because we were going to go see Project Hail Mary so they were grilling out and they made the whatever people were grabbing food and there were just a few hot dogs I was like I'll just grab a couple hot dogs and as I was eating I was like wait that's what I had for lunch too oh god it's like I'm 15 again I'm going to die later we ended up being fine transition though, Roger Tell Mary was a fantastic movie.

13:13Mark Fischbach:Really fantastic movie. Loved the book. Movie, also fantastic. So you've read the book? I have. And the movie, I didn't get pissed off watching the movie. I actually really enjoyed it. Usually whenever you read a book and immediately see a movie afterward, you're like, I can't believe they cut out my favorite thing. But it was a really good, faithful adaptation. I really, really enjoyed it. So highly recommend. I won't say anything else about it. I don't want to spoil. I recommend reading the book and then seeing the movie, but whatever. Very good. I have another update. What was it? It's right there.

13:41Mark Fischbach:It's gone. Oh, I told Bob this but Mark you don't know this. I finally finally last night I was laying in bed. Holly was asleep. I finally got my hands on it. What where is this going? I started dungeon crawler Carl. Oh Why is it me is Bob sing? But thank you for the attribution. Well, I told him already so I gotta tell you Wait, that's fun. Did you see the reddit post? I was like, I get excited every time they mention books. And it's like, yay, Bob for mentioning Dungeon Crawler Carl. Yay, Wade for reading Animorphs. Mark, you're there, I guess. And I'm like, I read books all the time. What the fuck?

14:22I'm talking about... What the fuck? Come on. I was also excited about Dungeon Crawler Carl. Mark clearly doesn't read like the other two educated ones. Just because all I read is Warhammer 40K. Yeah, no, not not the man on the same podcast who's bragged about reading what must be several hundred Warhammer books. Oh, my God, at least. Yeah, it's got to be a lot. I think you've read more Warhammer books than I've read all books in the world. Probably read so fucking many. I think that's probably true because I haven't I've read mostly legal cases. If I'm honest, I don't know how to count those. but in terms of books you're definitely kicking my ass i mean probably not with worm because like there there are only so many but i i read a lot in my i like reading it's how i got such a big vocabulary that's how i know so many words and use them for talking you like my words my out loud words yes yes i make them with my mouth Mouth that's a good word Mouth Good job reading Wade I'm glad someone here is Finally reading a god damn book Yeah me too my last and final Which is the same word twice update I don't know how you read such a Small amount like this is not a Judgy thing because I do that But the first time I started reading Dungeon Crawler Carl it was like I was getting ready For bed so it was like late at night like maybe It was 11 o 'clock I was like I'll read for a little bit And then I'll get tired and I'll go to sleep And I fucking read possibly the entire book before I slept but I read all the way through like easily three quarters of the book possibly the entire thing in one sitting because I started and I just got into it and got into it and like I'm like this and maybe you're not like this the same way but like I couldn't stop no I get that way I literally I read until like five in the morning and then I was like ah shit the baby wakes up in a couple hours I guess I should pass out well it's a lot less fun of a reason but I've

16:31Mark Fischbach:had trouble sleeping more than usual the last few weeks. I don't know if it's something actually going on or like many panic attacks or what it is, but like I'll lay down and then all of a sudden, like, you know, if you like are sitting still for a while and then you get up and like you run up a flight of stairs or something, you feel even more out of breath, like your heart's pounding more than usual. I've had a thing a few different nights, including night before last, where I'll go to lay down and all of a sudden it's like almost like my chest is burping or something, but like I'll start to feel like a weird sensation.

16:57Mark Fischbach:And then all of a sudden it's like, oh man is my heart like what's my heart rate right now is it nine million over five hundred thousand because it's it's pretty why am i panicking i'm fine i just need to let's just focus on something else wade you're dying oh okay i'm dying i stop thinking about just think about anything else can't think about anything else focus just found hard fast that kept me up till eight in the morning two nights ago so i was very tired last night so i fell asleep easily because of that i've had this exact same thing not even uh exaggerating it's like as soon as i lay down specifically all of a sudden i can feel my heart and i've had an apple watch when i was doing it back before they were sued out of their ability to do such things it was only blood oxygen that they got sued about the the ecg thing is still works but okay cool well i would do that and i would look at my heart rate and it would be like it doesn't feel that crazy and it was only reading ever like 105 110 um which just barely elevated um and it's like the ekg looked good as much as i can read one of those and it said i was fine but yeah no i i don't know what that's about i lay down and then some nights it's just boom boom it's like it's like someone's banging a drum in my chest it doesn't hurt or anything it's just kind of like well that's weird and concerning not fun and i i i've got there's been a lot of things going on in life i don't want to bring all of it up here but i've had reasons to be like stressed about stuff but like at least on the conscious level i feel like i'm okay you know i've had my moments i've had moments of happiness i've shed tears i've dealt with some of the things that we're dealing with maybe it's my subconscious or i don't know but the heart is just the one thing i it scares me probably the most because i've had some family history of like heart attacks and stuff so i'm like man hope my heart's okay so the heart pounding just really compounds and it becomes a vicious cycle of like now I really can't calm myself down so well do you have an Apple Watch Wade because I don't know if it would help you but I would recommend that yeah I do I haven't I haven't used it I should probably use it again but for both of you what you're describing sounds like a thing I'm familiar with it sounds like atrial fibrillations which is not necessarily even a thing that would manifest on an EKG especially on the Apple Watch because it's not exactly like a diodes all over your body type of one but that is not necessarily a bad thing that can happen but also if you're concerned about it the doctor can check it out pretty easily they will give you like a full diodes all over your body EKG get the full readings like it's real easy I think I'm going to I think I'm going to do that if it is that because and I'm familiar with it it feels fucking crazy it kind of feels like you're like oh is this a heart attack my left arm isn't numb so it must not be a heart attack yeah yeah no so I would say two weeks ago a week ago last week sometime I don't remember exactly how long ago I had this happen like two nights in a row I like went downstairs for a little bit ate something just kind of like changed my location changed the way I was sitting and stuff and it went away I went back upstairs was fine able to fall asleep but for whatever reason night before last, nothing I did could make that go away.

20:10Mark Fischbach:And so from like 1.30 in the morning till a little after eight, just had that sensation. So I think I'm going to have to call and go in and make sure there's nothing else going on. But I've never, I've never dealt with like extreme anxiety, except for like in specific scenarios, you know, some people just have anxiety. The closest I could relate is how people have described like panic attacks. This felt like a mini panic attack almost. But like, I didn't think those lasted for hours. I guess I don't know. I never really experienced it. Yes. Mark is raising his hand. Teacher, teacher, I have your diagnosis.

20:39I've looked up online. I've put in all your symptoms. You have paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.

20:47Mark Fischbach:That sounds like a lot of bad things grouped together like that. Yes, you don't want to be paroxysmal. Oh, good. You don't want to be supraventricular. Paroxysmal? Yeah, P-A-R-O-X-Y-S-M-A-L. Paroxysmal, paroxysmal, wow, what a word. The heart's natural pacemaker and sinoatrial node generates electrical impulses that tell the heart to beat, but in a person with PSVT, you, the heart's steady rhythm undergoes sudden periodic paroxysmal disruptions. An errant electrical signal from above the ventricle, superventricular, overrides the sinoatrial node's normal signal and creates a series of very fast heartbeats, tachycardia.

21:32The vast majority of PSVTs are not life-threatening, although in rare circumstances they can be dangerous, which is why people who experience repeated bouts of a racing heart should tell their doctor. You practically already done that now.

21:43Mark Fischbach:I guess so. I'm good. I don't need to go in now. Except for telling your doctor. Yeah, what web doctor has been told. Oh, that's true. That's true. internet save him i will also say the pan the feeling like it's a panic attack thing it can feel like oh i'm panicking oh my heart is racing but it can actually be an inverse connection you can have like a physiologically induced feeling of like a panic attack because what's happening to your heart is making your heart race and then that triggers a bunch of other stuff that that leads you so it's not necessarily like oh i'm so anxious it's making my heart race it could literally be like oh I'm iron deficient or oh like oh something else is happening it's making my heart race that is causing me to have these associated like emotional physiological reactions that feels like a panic attack or feels like anxiety or whatever it's probably fine but maybe ask your doctor and get it scanned maybe that will help maybe that will help you feel less worried about it at least 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 seven up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda now lime comes first seven up flip the sip i'll go get checked out there was a particular family event that occurred and then it happens shortly thereafter so I figured it was probably like subconsciously stress induced but maybe it's just coincidence either way I should probably get it looked at but it's been not fun they'll tell you you're stupid and take your money don't worry about it I'll tell you you're stupid and take less money I'll tell you you're stupid for free am I in an ad can I pay you to tell you you're stupid is this guru and then whatever mark's title was again oh stupid are we that's why that's why I didn't read as much dungeon crawler Carl because last night I was finally tired enough to sleep I mean that's fair I guess whatever as the literate one of the podcast I expect more from you but it could have been that the book was so exciting you just couldn't your body was just I was only going to read the first chapter I ended up reading I think six so like I did read more than I anticipated because I didn't want to put it down but sometimes you get like especially early late in a book it's impossible to stop because like just everything the stakes are always so high but like early on every now and then you reach a point in a book where you're like okay i really want to know what's next but i feel like things are only going to escalate get harder i've got to stop here or else i really won't be able to stop and that's where i was with the book i was like okay this is i've gotten through the the intro tutorial phase now whatever happens it's probably gonna get crazy let's stop here dude shit gets nuts especially the later books shit just gets nuts and more nuts and then nutser and somehow nutsier yeah i i could tell you that feeling of like oh i'm finally through the tutorial phase you keep having that and it's one of the things i like about the series is i feel like there's a constant thing of like okay now we're through like the prologue now we know what's happening and then you'll read a few chapters and you're like i'm fucking no this is still prologue there's like how is it getting crazy anyway it's fun you guys want to play a game sure it's easy Yeah, I'll play easy game.

25:14We've played it before. Oh, no way. No, hold on. Oh, no, no, no, no, no There's no questions. It's not like that.

25:22Mark Fischbach:This is a different kind of easy game 20 easy Remember this paragraphs and recite it by memory Uh close while singing and rhyming. Oh god. No Not that close. Okay Honestly, I had several titles written down, but I kind of want to call this one the easy 3000. Do you guys remember when we played the game with the Oxford 3000? The words and the saying the backwards. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah. Say, say, see, see. That's not that's just Spanish. Say, yes, backwards. Yes, backwards. Say, say, say. Adios, meos, but backwards. Say, say, say, say. This is the easy 3000. How well do you guys remember that game pretty good remember the words that you had to say backwards during that game do we get points if we do it was in october so i'd be really fucking surprised if you did anyway don't worry you probably don't have to say most of them backwards because i did come up with a new thing do we say them sideways instead of backwards that doesn't make sense say it sideways say it sideways Say a word, say any word sideways And I'll give you a point That's it, any, that's the word any Sideways, I got it, I got it I got it, each other

26:47For the listeners, Mark just Stood up and physically Turned his head Sideways You know what, that's a point I said what I said creative genius this is kind of like a mix of a bunch of games because that's all i do is look at what i've already done and try and find ways to rehash that so it's kind of like the oxford 3000 if you happen to remember those words if anything sparks maybe that will be helpful to you the game that we're going to play today with this is not dissimilar to a game they used to play friendship no okay i think it was i think it was yeah well and i'm allowed to lie to you The game we're gonna play today with the words.

27:28Yeah, okay. It was it was but I can tell you whose word it was so there You're ruining stuff already I Was not not then not right that the moment okay? Whose lines anyway they used to think play a thing called direct director Anyway, they would do a scene and then one one of the cast members was a director and they'd come out and be like do it French And this is kind of like that, but if you had to guess a word, there's going to be a word. The person giving the clues is going to be allowed to offer one word at a time as a direction. So it's kind of like hot or colder, but if Mark has a word and Wade starts and Wade is like friendship, Mark can be like sciency-er or French-er or, I don't know, higher, whatever.

28:20You can say any word you want if you think it will help. And we have to say it like that, not more French. I mean, that's my idea. It's not, I'm not going to like doc your points if you get creative with it. But the notion is, it's like the direction, right? And they're always like, do it more like a noir film or whatever. Like the idea is for it to be kind of like that. You're supposed to give clues, but they have to be short. And you can't just be like, the word is this, say this word. You will get in trouble if you do that. But anyway, every time I explain my game idea lately, the more I say about it, the more I'm like, man, this is a stupid idea.

28:59Oh, I shouldn't have committed to this. But it's too late now. I'm going to flip a coin to see who goes first.

29:05Mark Fischbach:Okay. And whoever goes first, they say a word and the other person has to guide them to the correct word by the French-er type clues. That's it? Yes. Whoever goes first guesses any word that they want and the other player has to give them direction. one word direction at a time to try and basically hot and cold their way toward the correct word lady is wade lion is mark it doesn't mean anything about who you are that's just how i decided in the moment editors make me a lion mark's a lion lion goes first it hurts it's painful oh what are they doing to me it's too bad i'm in the cowardly lion So Mark is guessing first Wade I'm gonna give you Your first word To play with Okay That's not the piece I just looked at my paper And saw a bunch of other words It was like What did I write down?

29:59Oh no No That's a different word So I'm not acting Any of these Am I? Or No you're just guessing You're trying to guess the word And Wade wants you to guess the word So I start with the word And he'll guide me If you If it helps These are all words from the Oxford 3000 list of words. That does not help. There's approximately 3 ,000 options that it has to be from. But wait, I sent you a chat with your first word, and Mark, when you're ready... Avalanche.

30:35Mark Fischbach:Peepleier. Sir. Stampede. I like this already. This is going to be fun for me. Antonymy-er Standing Room only What was that? You heard me! You heard me! It's hyphenated standing room only Yeah, standing room only People-er Can I get the same clue twice? If you think it will help, yeah Theater Individual-er Bathroom sphincterer no you sure you sure about that no colin that's wrong are you sure i have no idea what you think that's gonna i don't know man your clue is sphincterier maybe it will help you maybe i'm wrong diarrhea muscle-ier butt Ah

31:46Mark Fischbach:Arm-er Arm-er Army, Arm-er Arm Wait, what are you doing? I don't know, man. I'm panicking I'm just, I'm going to I'm going to find a way to get here Bodybuilder Oh, interesting Interesting Traits-er It doesn't have to have the er on it If it doesn't make sense That's already not working I accept that Traits Ego Different The sphincter of the ego Rewind Okay The ego Physicaler Mogging One second Wait Well, actually, I don't know if I have an accurate definition. No! Oh, no.

32:49No. No. No. No. No. No. Oh, fuck. Okay. So physical of ego. Uh. Weights?

32:59Mark Fischbach:Uh. Purpose. Strength? Opposite. Weak. Ness. oh my god that's it oh i knew i'd get us there buddy i got i listen sphincter sphincter here well you said bathroom and i was like how do i get from bathroom to our body it's a muscle the sphincter's a muscle you can have muscle weakness can you have sphincter weakness you sure can yes you can have sphincter weakness That just doesn't make any sense. Well, I didn't know how to get there, man. Get a sphincter surgery, sphincter spasms. Listen, we can judge, but I drove the car. I get marked the directions and he drove the car there. If sitting in the back seat while the accelerator is stuck to the floor and just ending up accidentally crashing into the correct answer counts as driving the car, you drove it there, baby.

34:00Mark Fischbach:I did. I'm going to be so much worse at the other side of this. Have you ever seen that video, the rally car driver, where the assistant's like, you have to listen to my calls. Left, left, sooner, time left, left, right, turn right. It's very funny. I have not. I don't know which one's which here in that one, but that's what it felt like. Well, Mark, now Wade, it's your turn to guess. And Mark, I'm going to send you a word. I'm ready. On your guess, Wade. Apple? Uh, Les Schmeagel. Apple. The word is apple like Patrick Warburton. How did you get that? That's so specific. All right, Les Schmeagel.

34:46Mountain. I see how this is going to be difficult. All right, okay. Opposite. Valley. Good. Okay, I'm going to talk to you like a director. Oh, yeah, you know how to do that. Where's your hat? Does your hat help? Uh, hat. Hat! Damn. Not that hat. So we're at Valley, right? Okay. Lower. Crust.

35:16Mark Fischbach:More ethereal. Hold on, can I look up ethereal?

35:22So it's just Wade endlessly googling everything Mark says. I didn't know Mog, Mog, whatever he said before.

Read the full transcript

35:30Mark Fischbach:Mogging. We've talked about Mogging. Lower than the valley More ethereal. Or uh Esoteric might be a better word For you. More esoteric. Now Wade's a Philosophy major. He knows what esoteric means. I know esoteric Of course I know esoteric. Uh Tunnels? Back up a step Valley. Crust? Valley crust Back up another step. Mountain Oh wait. Fuck Valley. Yeah Yes sir Alright Alright. Yin and yang. I don't like that word. Forest. Back up a step. Valley. One-er. Mountain. Forward. Crust. What? No. Fuck. Valley. Mountain, valley, crust. Valley. Valley.

36:25Mark Fischbach:Stay valley. Now back up. Back. Just just listen to me, I'm your direction. Just listen to me. Don't listen to the rules. Listen. Back. Valley! Fuck off! For the listeners who just scooted away from his microphone! Guess Mark told him to back up. I got you boss. Trust, trust, trust, trust, trust, trust her. Back? Valley, back. Back up. Valley, back up. Uh-huh. Mount, not mountain. What? So, back up. What? What do you mean? What do you mean not? I think he wants you to say mountain, buddy. I did. He said no before. Mountain. Mountain. No, you didn't. You said valley. And I said, good. Go back. Just, please.

37:24Please. Mountain. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

37:28Mark Fischbach:Forward. Valley. Yes. Okay. Back up mountain go down valley good Now yin and yang Mark I see exactly what you're getting at and I can tell you I think we both know that's not gonna work here He can do it. He could do this. I'll give I'll give mark I'll give mark an assist cuz I'm talking so much anyway. He's having you go backward and then forward Yeah, I see that with the the mountain the valley the mountain the valley there yet the area yang they go together Conceptualize it go from mountain to valley from mountain to valley Conceptualize it. Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out if it's an area in between if it's the concept of the whole hole The yin and yang they come together to form a whole a whole circle our brains work very differently You're right.

38:27You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. All right. Let's, let's, uh, uh, uh, more differentiator horror.

38:40Mark Fischbach:Oh, I believe in you, Wade. Mountain Valley. Mountain Valley. Yin and Yang. Uh, uh, altitude.

38:54Mark Fischbach:All right. Let's shake it up. More... Negi... No, not... Ha ha ha ha ha. You.

39:07Oh no, he's already hitting you with the you. I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha. I'm scared. Try something different. Any, anything-er. Any, anything-er. Darkness. Love it. Beautiful. That's great. Is that my clue? No, I'm complimenting you. This is not your clue. Oh, thank you. Such a good choice. That's a great choice. He's not patronizing you. It's a good choice. It's just how Mark is. Okay. Lumen-er. Ooh. Gray. Good. It's good. This is good. I don't know how I'm going to get there. We're going to get there. We got to believe. There's genius in that gray. There's genius.

39:53Mark Fischbach:It's not easy being on either side of this. I'm learning. Pot of gold-er. Oh, okay. Yeah. Uh-huh. I'm trying to think like, wait here. Supernatural? Afterlife-er. Ghost? Let's back up. Let's back up. Mountain. Yeah. Okay, good. All right, now go for it.

40:20Mark Fischbach:Gray? Fuck. Whoa. Oh, whoa. I got you on the wrong track. Let's go back to what we were doing before, okay? I swear we can get there. Okay, how far back am I going? Mountain or like? Mountain. Just mountain? Mountain valley. Right. Okay. All right. So, I want to explain so badly, but I won't because I would betray it. Lower. Hell? Good, good. Very yin-yang. Very yin-yang. Love that. Lower. Devil? Okay, you're getting it, right? You're getting it. You're getting it. bottom er Oh Cavern cavern feel it. So I want you to feel that feel that for sure No, oh no, oh good, okay, we're in hell bottom Mmm great great great great Staying right there, but mixing it up

41:21rock bottom mix it up yeah oh man uh base conceptualizer no don't give up you're right

41:31Mark Fischbach:there you're right there you're right there you're tickling it i believe in you how bottom bottom of hell base every word i'm thinking of takes us further away creation ah wait yes architecture Rer. Architecture. Yeah. Architecture-er. God. Building-er-er. Are we naming specific buildings in hell? Because I don't know the answer to that. Get out of hell. Oh, get the fuck out of hell. Okay, I'm leaving hell. Leaving hell. Base. Foundation. Foundation's good. I like that. Foundation's good. Okay. Alright. House-ier. Basement. Description-ier. Two-story with a pool and a nice fence. Good. But succinctier uh the suburban oh a trendier trendsier stucco stucco stucco uh wait's not exactly up on his architecture trends i guess frank lloyd right huh well that's okay okay frank lloyd right i'll take that opposite or opposite uh skyscraper no no no frank lloyd wright got a lot of cantilevered whatchacallits and doohickeys and it's got many many details and things uh modern okay yes yes oh my god continue your uh future uh more or uh not more but you know continue your again or what's the term for like the simple uh empty bullshit i don't know it's just funny what is the term for that oh man oh it's right there oh man oh it's just blacked out a little bit Minimalist?

43:44Oh, okay. Okay. This is great. This is great. I mean, if that could count, I would love that, but...

43:53Mark Fischbach:Minimalism. Oh, I'm really good at this. Abstractor. Abstractor? Oh, no. Oh, no. Hold on. Hold on. I'm feeling you. Mountain. No, hold on. Abstractor than minimalism. Less conjugation. Men. Many. What'd you say? Mini. Miniature. Min... Miniature. Mini. Minimal. Minimize. Minimize? Minimizing. Minimalists. Minim... Minimalizing. I don't know what you guys want from me. Am I that close? Oh my god, you have no idea. Minimum. Minimum. It's minimum. Minimum! Minimum. I think the game here is how many of these can you do before you just die? I would have never gone there from mountain and valley yin and yang.

45:01Mark Fischbach:I understand where you're going now, but I don't think I would have ever connected that. What's that architecture style where it's real plain? That was so good. What is that? What's that word for that? You know, the sad thing is, is whenever we do some architecture, I thought of it. I was like, yeah, there's that one where you don't own like anything. It's real simple. I can't think what that's called. Let's move on to a different one. Frank Lloyd Wright. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh. I just couldn't think of the word for it. That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. I was really, yeah, because I was like, okay, mountain, opposite valley.

45:35All right, let's start down feeling this positive, negative thing. Good job, buddy. You did good.

45:41Mark Fischbach:You got me there It's an easy game Probably is if our brains worked the same That's why it's the easy 3000, man All you have to do Alright, I'll get him on the next one Oh yeah, Mark, you have to start it That's right I also need to look at the word Any words you want, buddy Does he have it? I got it Pillow I see one path here That is so easy Please don't fumble this I will I will fumble this But like in a way That I think is great Okay Good More face

46:21Did I send you the right word? Hang on You did Just trust me Trust me I don't trust you Continue Face pillow

46:30Mark Fischbach:I don't want to give it away too much Like I feel like there's a word I can say that would really give it away You're allowed to succeed quickly It doesn't have to be painful The joke is not that it has to be painful. It's that it is painful sometimes. It's allowed to be as easy as it seems. That's okay. Oh, edible-er. Oh, edible-er. I mean, fine. Marshmallow? Healthier. Macron? Healthier. More yogurt? More organic. Organic yogurt? More natural. Milk? More vegetation? do you know words yeah man cotton or edible carrot oh okay sweeter rhubarb more tree fruit more exact apple boom what a great run more face more face Ish!

47:34Mark Fischbach:Because pillow, you lay on the back of your head, you need to get to the face. And then what goes in it? I don't know. I can't help the way my brain works. Wait, the word that you wanted for a thing that was edible, sweeter, and more vegetation is called fruit. The word is fruit. You could have gone pillow fruitier. He might have just said apple. because the top three fruit you guess is like apple, banana, and strawberry. That's like cheating. We don't want that. I guess that's fair. I just thought fruit was just too big of a jump from pillow. See, this is the thing, though. I'm like, it can be easier.

48:13And Wade says, can it, though? Yeah, I guess.

48:16Mark Fischbach:Okay, I guess in my brain, I'm trying to play off the word he used to get there rather than just like, fuck whatever you said. It's a fruit. I don't know. I felt like I had to guide him from pillow more than just... And I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I do. I mean, you can do that. Okay. Well, we've been playing wrong, I think. At least I have. Well, look, that's this is the glory of these games that I make you guys play and don't ever force myself to participate in. You can play it however you want. Oh, just wait. Mark and I will remember one day. We'll make you play. Yeah, I doubt it. You're probably right.

48:49Mark Fischbach:We'll think about remembering. Wade, guess a word. Oh, okay. Mark, you ready? Yeah. Car. Aliver. Giraffe Shorter Corgi Bigger Sheep Bigger Buffalo Smaller German Shepherd Actually, I retract my smaller. For some reason, I thought of a rhino when you said buffalo. Buffalo are pretty big. I don't know how they compare size-wise. More aggressive. I'm thinking of buffalo. Hippo More aggressive. Lion American ear Bear Bear. Oh, bear. I knew I could tell you were stuck in Africa. I could tell you were just like in this savannah. Just except for sheep and corgi. That's true. But if it's bigger than that, it's in Africa.

49:40I did intend to do another round, but I don't know. Oh, we're so quick now. We're on a roll. Yeah. Well, I sort of, I didn't realize the one would be the longest round and then everything else would be so easy. It turns out getting me to minimal was a problem.

49:56Mark Fischbach:Minimum Fuck Are you guys up for one more? Do you have the energy to do another round? I don't know I can do another Wait I am sending you your word Now you get to be on this side of one of these No, no, don't Have fun Cloud More man-made Smog More technological Power plant More personal Home generator More entertainment TV More screen. Theater? More resolution. VR? More ratio. More ratio? Is that what you said? You sure? I did. I did. Okay, alright. Camera. More viewing? Window? More display? Monitor? More options? Microscope. Oh, bah, bah, ha, ha. Mm-hmm. Ha, ha, ha. That was more than one word More monitor I want so desperately to help you Wade I could see it Display More specific LG 4K OLED display Monitor More 4K

51:15Mark Fischbach:8K More specific More options I'm trying to think of words I've not used I think I used both of those IMAX More changing. Two, three, five. Widescreen.

51:33Mark Fischbach:More. What the fuck? What do you mean more? More. Okay, okay, okay. Alright. Every, every film and display term I know. I'm just gonna start rattling them off, okay? Viewfinder. Can I say the same thing twice, Bob? Yeah, give the direction you want, man. More ratio. What do you mean more ratio? The one way I don't know. Aside from the fact that it's not working, I think that's actually not a bad direction, Wade. And I'm gonna laugh at you either way, but I can see the vision. Our brains just work so different. Split screen. More 1080? High definition? More colon.

52:21More colon? Oh Fuck that's so how does that seem so stupid, but actually makes sense? I don't know if you know if you know the answer, but not Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm getting it. I got it. Uh-huh 16 by 9 More term

52:49Mark Fischbach:1920 by 1080 less number four by three more relationship

53:01Mark Fischbach:2560 by 1440 alright we're gonna try this a third time more ratio that'll do it yeah there you go get it right to it mark use everything that you know about those things you were saying everything I know about those things I was saying especially some of the numbers some of the numbers But maybe only the shorter numbers. Shorter numbers. Okay. All right. One to one. More perspective. Oh, God. I feel like I have the one that will get in there. Just say what I'm thinking. Say the words I'm thinking quick. I don't know what word you're thinking.

53:45Mark Fischbach:Less specific. More words. 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.

54:26Is it in the room with me? Is it in my room? Less crazy.

54:36Mark Fischbach:Is it in my room? I don't know if this is the kind of game where I can answer those kinds of questions. You know what, man? Just play the game however you want. I believe in you. I feel like I'm leading with the wrong... Rewind. All right, rewinding. One to one. more general square different term aspect ratio first word aspect aspect yeah it's aspect i've been trying to get you to aspect from ratio for a long time more ratio more specific more numbers i thought that was a good clue you were giving me ratios i just couldn't get you to tell me that they were ratios but you said more ratios oh i gave you more ratios i know how else do i tell you what's the term to get you just to tell me the term more ratios well bob what was the word you had in mine when he was like 16 by 9 4 by 3 1 to 1 i would have been like the more word and he might have said square but that was where you had to work from take him directly from the aspect ratios he's listing because you kept pushing him to be like more ratios and then he kept going from aspect ratios to resolutions whoa i'm gonna stop you there i said more ratio there was never a plural whatever whatever once he got away from the ratios then you were like describe it and he was like the shapes the the resolute you needed to catch him on the ratios and then be like that but words aspect is just such a hard word to get someone to that that is a tough one yeah i can see why that's tough whenever you were listing off like all the aspect ratios i was like we just need to get from specific to general i get it i get it i see i see yeah i don't that's that was tough that was tough i always sort of forget to keep in mind that i designed these games to be fun for me because that's my main motivation but i don't want you guys to kill each other and i feel like i'm creating a tension i don't feel any kind of tension i more so feel like i'm failing to describe accurately i'm like we're right there i just don't know how to i don't know how to slide him sideways i've been listen we mark and i've been on both sides of this we understand the hard parts of describing and guessing okay he's giving me my word oh okay i think we can get this all right pizza more location restaurant More vague City More vague I wish my brain was functional so I could think of the term I'm trying to think of I'm just gonna say country That's not what I'm hoping to go for More vague Land Careless Place Careless There Careless Somewhere More options Someplace More options Wherever oh oh holy shit man oh my god i don't know how but like that i was with you i don't know i don't know you guys just locked in so hard on that one that was great that was great i think mark has had to give clues about 10 as much of the time as he has had to be guessing you got bear and wherever so fast i was just saying you know i think you gave us an easy one with bear and apple but you know minimum and wherever are such out there concepts what were the ones i had i've had you had weakness apple and aspect sphincter weakness weakness and aspect those are tough to get to those are tough yeah mark had minimum and wherever which i feel like i thought would be comparably tough to be honest i don't know how we got to wherever i just didn't i ran out of terms i was like what else see that was a strategy i thought was going to happen a lot more mark got you headed with some momentum and then he was just like care less even less less carry and that like drove you so far in the right direction that he got you it just made a lot of progress really quickly i can't deny i was i was out there and i was like i can't care too much more he told me to care less.

58:53Mark Fischbach:I'm not gonna lie, you both lighting up at somewhere had me thinking some or where were part of the word. It was amazing, it was. You guys look like the sloth in that one, the Zootopia where he was like slowly smiling. I hope other people than me enjoy that, but I love, that was a good time. Oh, I'm sure they, I'm sure they will. Wade, you earned points for what happened? Tossing out a short joke, which we'll see if that comes back to bite you. See if your body can take it about Mark not taking care of himself when he probably almost died from a fever. You're a wiener man. Sphincterier. You got a point for weakness, apple, and aspect, but you also got points during the gameplay for, oh, what's that architecture style where there's nothing?

59:37And it's...

59:39Mark Fischbach:I was like, what are the odds that's the word? I just can't think of it. And also you got points for more face, more ratio, which gives you a total of 10 points but one of those is a short point so we'll see what happens with that mark you earned points for super syringe cooking yourself in the heat wave you survived just impressive you're an illiterate loser because wade and i both read books you said a word sideways which i didn't think was possible you also got points for minimum bear and wherever And I gave you a point for let's go back a step. Take it back a step forward That gives mark a total of nine points off the rip, which I gotta be honest I felt like I was giving mark more points But I think it was just more painful to give Wade points because most of his were from thank you I was laughing.

1:00:34I was laughing so much that it hurt and also my brain hurt. Anyway, let's see how many bonus spins we have today

1:00:40Mark Fischbach:I always get to feel so good about my success on this show. Two Spinnerinos. Well, that couldn't possibly be bad for me. Couldn't be. No way. I am going to add coolest illness since last episode. Who are you going to give it to? Mark's crazy fever or my crazy heart? It's probably the fever this time. Almost dying is pretty cool. We'll see if I make it back for next week. Otherwise, I hope I get that point. Hey, if you actually die, I feel like that point's yours by default for the rest of eternity. That makes sense. Too bad, Bob, you can't die. You're immortal. I know. I put a point on the board I'll never get.

1:01:18Unbelievable. Spin number one of two. And the words are so small, I can't really tell what it's going to be. Never mind. Will to live. I mean, I can't tell if Mark surviving a very serious illness is a demonstration of his will to live or the fact that you did not seek out any medical attention or even take your temperature when you were thought you had a severe fever is a demonstration of your lack of will to

1:01:44Mark Fischbach:live i would have i would have really feeling we're just writing off my heart issues here but yeah that's fair i don't think there's a question of your will to live though you clearly you wanted to live you were concerned about living if mark's thing was a demonstration of his will to live i think he survived a potentially more serious situation and had more will to live i don't know that feels like a stretch if that's too close we can spin again but i feel like you're the judge my heart wants to give it to mark because i'm heavily biased towards him hey is that an insult to me because you said your heart yeah take that okay i mean that just ties us up so honestly that makes it worse for you in the long run i'll take it nothing bad can happen there's still another spin someone has to get a point it certainly won't be me or the listeners or viewers amy has a point potentially on here or something what about minus seven percent to one man show let's not do that

1:02:42oh oh shit none of us lied though a short joke point is not a lie point is it no it's a separate thing is this it's a re-spin or no point well usually it's the judge's choice but oh i know which one I would prefer it to be. I can tell you that. Mark, hold on. Yeah, Mark, we want to talk about this? It's only a 23 % chance of a one-man show right now. That's not that huge. Yeah, it's only basically a one in four almost. I mean, I would 100 % re-spin if it were me. I'm going to re-spin. I don't know. I was leaving my fate up to you guys. I don't want to do that. It's the one that we fucking tortured Mark.

1:03:20Mark Fischbach:I think it's probably Mark today, isn't it? Oh, wait. Yeah, actually. Yeah, I think it's already a gimme. Actually, yeah, you do kind of just blend into your... Oh, but wait. Distractable poster. Blue. But by quantity, I think I've got this. Yeah, I think Mark has that, actually. I don't think we... Oh, those are like totally identical. Those are totally identical. Yeah, it's definitely... Okay, well, point to Mark, which means Mark wins. Yay! The come from behind victory. He deserves it. Oh, I didn't even see you pull up the coin I didn't recognize any of us saying that word We're not supposed to say unless we mean it During this episode, but I'm sure it happened You should have made it one of the words we have to get to That would have been really funny That's a good idea It's way funnier than anything I put in my game I'll forget to do that When we do Oxford 3002 Anyway Congratulations, Mark Wade, would you like to give your loser speech?

1:04:18Mark Fischbach:I want to say Aspects and weakness very difficult words but you know Mark and I got there. Minimum and whatever the other words are I had to get to with Mark. Bear and then that third one. Tough but we did it. We did it wherever and I just I'm proud of us for succeeding in a very difficult challenge with some really difficult words that have at least two syllables. So I leave today with my head held hung. I'm hung and high. You sure are, man. You sure are. Oh, I meant to throw this in before, Mark, before your winner's speech, your glorious winner's speech, I did want to give the context of those were all words from the original Oxford 3000 video, but I switched whose words were whomsts.

1:05:04I think all the words that I had Mark guessing, Wade previously had to guess, and vice versa.

1:05:10Mark Fischbach:So those were all words we had previously dealt with. Not a single one of those came back to mind at all as I saw them. Yeah, well, I thought on the long shot that one of you could remember, free point for you because you deserve it. Mark, winner's speech. I am very happy to claim this win. More for myself and less for my opponent. Because as the winner, I naturally would be happy for myself. And honestly, that's the natural order of things. As you can see, I read a lot of books and I know a lot of words. and I use them sparingly, which is a word I read in a book. Thank you for the win. Congratulations to Mark.
