In short
Distractable episode “The Oxford 3000” is a mix of casual life updates and a word game. Markiplier (Mark) and Wade (Wade) compete to host the next episode by earning points through gameplay. Mark shares he’s married now, wearing a ring on his finger; he says engagement/wedding details will be saved for a future video with Amy, and he mentions internet theories about when/where the ring photo appeared. Wade talks about getting a mole removed near his neck, dealing with Vaseline-and-bandage care, and a recent incident where Molly fell down stairs and landed on a garbage bag; both are okay. They also joke about “pig bladder finger” regrowth stories.
Key game

Grumps over gorse and questions Wade's word savvy from being whelmed to hotter and colder. Yes, it's time for the Oxford 3000. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
2:36Hello and welcome back to the world's most average podcast. Man, that's a down way to start. I feel better about us than that. Let's be honest. We're not the best, but we're pretty good. We're better than average. We can be the most above average. Oh, someone's got to be number one most above average. That's definitely where we would fall. We are the most above average. Least outstanding?
3:01Wade:No, that doesn't sound good. Least underwhelming podcast. Most in standing. That's good. You can guarantee at least a solid whelm from an episode of this show. And this show is called Distractable. If you've never seen it before, I'm hosting today because I won the last episode, and my two friends who are here with me are going to be competing to see who gets to host the next one. I'm going to give out points. The points are calculated very scientifically and not at all a bunch of random bullshit. There's also wheel spins. There's a coin situation, which I'm sure will play a big part in today's episode or will forget about completely.
3:37But anyway, now that you understand the rules and all their explicit and wonderful details, let's say hello to Mark and Wade today's competitors Mark you go first okay hello my name is Mark of the YouTube channel Markiplier yes that Markiplier the merch is sold out it's all gone again so don't even bother looking you were too late if you're just listening to this and you don't get to the end of the episode you always tune out beforehand there was merch it's gone now so sorry about that you gotta really want that stuff you gotta be there you don't even have to get there on time You have to already be there if you want merch.
4:13Yeah, pretty much. That's the way this works. Pretty much. And also Wade is here. It means nothing that you're second Wade. You're just as important.
4:20Wade:I wasn't reading into it until you said that and I'm thinking about it a little bit. I'm Wade and friends from that hit YouTube channel Markiplier. You may have heard of it. I don't think I've used the and friends moniker in ages. I think that you're being beautiful. Thank you. I mean you did it, but it wasn't really a thing that I felt like you ascribed. It's everyone else. No, yeah, it was the it was the PAX panel people that called it the Mark and Friends. The very first panel was just you and me and it was called Mark and Friends. It was just two of us and they were like, hey, you count as more than one friend.
5:00That has to be a compliment. The friend so nice you friended twice.
5:04Wade:Nice. You remember one of the packs, Bob, where you and I were both there? It wasn't our first time doing a panel. It was like our second or third time at least doing a panel with Mark. And we went to go on stage and Mark walked through. And then the two guys immediately out of nowhere just stepped and stopped you and I. And they were like, yeah, we don't allow camera crew on stage. And we're like, we're on the panel? Did that happen? I don't remember that. Yeah, it did. Oh, damn. And the enforcers were like, these guys are not following him to the stage. And we were like, we're the ant friends.
5:34Wade:the panel. Can't see a panel. That was a while ago now, but that was pretty funny. And I didn't notice. Yeah, Mark is on stage just like, hey, what's up everybody? We're standing off stage talking to enforcers like, Mark, help. Mark, tell him. Next thing you know, you two are tossed out into a puddle. Oh, man. These guys tried to get on stage with Markiplier. Had to ban them for life. Yeah, ban them from life, more like. Oh, Bob, you want to go to Johnny Rockets again? I want to go to Johnny Rockets. I've not been in a long time. When did we go to Johnny Rockets? Wasn't that at the hotel in Omaha when we were putting together the show?
6:14Johnny Rockets?
6:15Wade:No, that's a little diner. You mean Tulsa? Tulsa. Omaha? Tulsa. The only Johnny Rockets I remember going to was actually Indianapolis. We did PopCon. No, that's a Hard Rock. We were at a Hard Rock hotel. No, but remember, we ate breakfast every day at the diner, and then we ate lunch at Country Music Stars Roadhouse. You're talking about me, so I probably wasn't awake for breakfast. No, you were there. It was like Billy Bob Thornton's Roadhouse, something like that. I remember the country place. I remember that one. Anyway, well, it wasn't Johnny Rockets, I know that. It just reminded me of Johnny Rockets, I guess, because it's a diner.
6:48Yeah, lots of funny stuff has happened. Good episode. I do have an episode planned out for today, but like I always do, for no real reason, I guess. How you doing? You guys got small talk? How you been? How's it going? I do. I do, and if I don't talk about it, people are going to explode. Oh, I got I got a little bit. I think Wade should go first
7:14Wade:No, no, no, you know on that note mark go ahead. How could I possibly not get it out mark? You're practically bursting at the seams. Yeah, so if you guys have been noticing this ring on my finger who many people have justified the most egregiously random reasons why I would have a ring on this particular finger. I'm married now, so I'm a husband. Why'd you say it like that? I'm married now. Hey, look, that's just the way I talk, man. Two, I believe her name is Amy. I'm pretty sure. God, I hope I know this right now. So I got to talk about the funny thing about this, because you know i i haven't been keeping this hidden at all i gesticulate with my hands so it's like i've been wearing it um and probably people are confused because i was confused as to why only the girl gets an engagement ring so i said amy that's not very fair so she got me this uh soon after i proposed and then um the first time in a video that we both or a picture that we were both accidentally had this was a total accident but it happened on the same exact day right so people some people thought it was planned like this is very niche very few people have noticed but it was like it was there um and it happened exact same day within like an hour of each other it was not intentional it was not like a oh we're so secretive it was not a sneak peek we both just happened to mess up on the same day it's not even really that big of a mess up it's just like oh Well, there it is, you know, instead of like casually, you know, but anyway, so yep, that's official But i'm not going to talk about the details of the wedding here because i'm going to save that because i'm going to do A video with amy to talk about that selfish.
8:59Oh, yeah That content's gonna be oh i'm gonna be milking this i'm gonna be milking this for a long time No, I yeah, I I do enjoy the theories that were being floated around What people immediately there were some people who were like he's got a ring. Is that his left hand? Which hand is that? Is this picture reversed? Wait a minute. Which finger? Oh, this is AI. Look at his hands. They're all fucked. All of the theories and all of the stuff. It was very fun. Good job, internet. But yes, it is true. I mean, I posted it on Instagram and people were still like, I don't know. I think this is an anniversary post.
9:35Yeah, that's a very cool anniversary party they're clearly at. Yes, very true. Very true. Yeah. And they cut the anniversary cake together. Oh, I gotta also say, there's been one post that my mom made of me coming home when one of my aunts was there and they're talking to me in Korean. And that post on her Instagram went crazy, like over 2 million likes. It's like more, at that time, it was more likes on any Instagram post than I had ever made on my Instagram account. And I finally beat it. Finally outdid that one on my mom's Instagram. Yes! I got more engagement. Yes! Yeah, so I've got it. I feel secure in my social media game now, finally.
10:22At least I don't know. That was a long time ago that it had over too many. It might actually be over there right now. Don't look. Just take the win. I don't know how you search for popularity on Instagram. Just take the win. Don't even look. You're right. I'm just kidding.
10:34Wade:I just assume. Yeah, don't. Everybody go find Mama Plyer's post and give it more likes. Yeah, someone on Distractable Subreddit will burst my bubble for me. I'm sure. Anyway, that's it. Also, today when we're recording this is when Windows 10 died. That's not good. Too bad. Wait, is that actually true? Is it time for that? End of support. Yeah, it happened. I'm pretty sure my other computer I used for everything else is Windows 10 still. It exploded. Ooh, F's in the chat. Are you saying the next time I turn it on it's just gonna melt into a ball of lava? Probably, yeah. I would assume so. I hope so, actually.
11:12That'd be kind of cool for not you, but for everyone else. I'll make sure I film it and send it to you so you can enjoy it. That's all for me. Wade, what monumental things do you have going on in your life? I was at a wedding recently and I have so much to talk about. You know, everyone is shocked that you didn't leak it. You know, I can't believe Wade didn't leak this.
11:34Wade:Well, this time I actually knew about it, asshole. Last time I leaked something was a joke because I didn't know it was a thing. Ah, I see, I see. No, there was a post on Twitter by, like, Exerto or whatever the fuck, one of those things, and it was like, Mark must have a pretty good circle of people around him for no one to have leaked this information. I was thinking to myself, I could have had the post leaking all the information. It could have been me. It could have been you, yeah. The amount of likes I could have generated. But yeah, no, no one leaked it. It was pretty cool. No, no one did.
12:05No one did. Despite some people's best efforts, not intentional, but some people...
12:11Wade:It's tough. It's not because you want to share the secret, but like someone was asking me like, hey, you're going to be streaming this week? It's like, no, I'm busy. Because like you just start to answer. It's like, wait, lie. You don't have to lie. That's the thing. It's not. What are you going on? Nothing, but I'm doing stuff. I'm going to sit at home alone in the dark. Lights off. TV off. Phone off. What's going on this Thursday? Oh, nothing. Mark's not in town. Shit.
12:41Wade:Every week. I mark my weeks by when he's in town and not in town. I was glad no one leaked it. For me, I've got a nice little bandit on my neck from going to the dermatologist. They decided to cut me up a little bit. Falling apart, man. Yeah. Funny mole. Well, so it was actually me who requested they shave it off. It's in a spot right at the base of my neck, like where my hairline ends. and every time I shave my head or get my head shaved, it gets nicked by the razor and just bleeds and it hurts and it's so annoying. I was like, I am really tired of dealing with this. As someone who has to shave their head pretty much weekly at the very least, really, really tired of dealing with that.
13:17Wade:So I had them remove it and now I get Vaseline Band-Aid on neck for two weeks. And it is not a pleasant place to keep bandage because apparently the neck is a part that connects your head to your torso. And when you want to look different directions, you don't just use your eyes. You turn your head and then you have a fucking bandage tugging at you. You could just use your eyes. We could train ourselves to only use our eyes and never turn our head. Probably. And then if you want to turn, you got to turn your whole body. Even faster if you do both at the same time. What do you think? I don't feel limited at all.
13:50Wade:I thought I had something else to add about it. I can't remember at the top of my head. Is it itchy? No, not really. Whenever I shower, it like stings a little bit. Then I feel like my neck movement's a little constrained because it like feels irritated. but I've done a good job of keeping it clean. Molly's helped me keep the Vaseline and bandaid on because I cannot for the life of me see that. It's like in the one spot I cannot see unless I like held a mirror but you need both hands to do bandage things. So she's had to help me and it's a little scary having someone just like put stuff into your wound but she's done a good job.
14:19Wade:Hasn't hurt me. Why is that scary? You think she's gonna hurt you? I've just never had someone really do that before where they've been like, hey, I've got this wound. Can you put your fingers in it for me? Like never had a nurse help you with something? I guess. Wait, no, you've had surgery. Yeah, but whatever they did, I was unconscious for them coming out of it. I was able to do self-care. You were just healed by the time you woke up or? Well, no, but like they didn't come home with me and heal me. I never had to stay in a hospital. It's always been outpatient stuff. Here's the other thought.
14:48Wade:Okay, in my brain, the part they cut off wasn't that big, right? So I was thinking like one of those little round band-aids would probably fit perfectly on it. It wouldn't cover all that much space so I'd have more movement and it wouldn't be as like likely to fall off It's the opposite the bigger band-aids have stayed on the smaller ones have been the ones that are like you slightly twitched Goodbye And it's like why is why my brain told me small for small less to be tugging But big for small big first I guess more sticky do I do we got to explain surface area to you man Which yeah would you like an explanation of how that works or no?
15:24Wade:Oh, I get there's more sticky with the big, but there's also more area for tuggy. I don't even think that's it. No, I have a theory. I have a theory. Okay. On a small bandaid, a larger proportion of the total area of the bandage is sticky. The part that is adhesed directly to your skin doesn't have any give, right? The only part that really stretches is the middle part that's not stuck to anything. A bigger bandage has more part that is not stuck directly onto your skin and only stretches however much your skin moves. It has a center part that gives you a lot more elasticity in the bandage. So it's not even about how sticky it is.
16:06It's about how it moves with you when you move. That's my theory, because I've experienced that same thing. I have two things to retort. Adheased, great word. I find that very fun word. uh number two why don't they make a bandage that is not a gauze pad but it's like a layer a curved dome of gelatin right gel it's like whatever the neosporin has made up but a harder version of it so that when you you put it there i always feel like gauze that doesn't seem like a good wound thing every time i've ripped off a banded band-aid especially when i had burned my hands and i was ripping off the gauze it just ripped skin every time because the gauze would heal into the skin as it was healing and i think that happens to every bandit i know it's sterile and technically i don't know it just seems like if you just made a gelatin little dome of uh the healing liquid then wouldn't that be better would it am i crazy i have a theory about this use it he's as a as a person who's ignorant of all parts of this including the mechanics of how band-aids work and any medical knowledge whatsoever.
17:16Don't you want air flow? Like, I know you want it to be covered in sterile, but don't you also basically want the ability for evaporation? And if you put a gel on a wound, that traps in any, like, liquids or blood that could be drawn out and then, like, either dried up or, like, evaporated off so that it keeps the wound from getting, like, gunky and staying wet. Isn't that kind of how that works? Yeah, I don't know if there's a certain point at which you need to have a wound breathe or it can be entirely submerged. Because when I was healing my hands, I had a huge tub of bacitracin. So every day, multiple times a day, I would rip off my bandages.
17:55I would take a big handful of all over my wounds. Hurt like hell because I would rip off the skin every time. But over time, the under layer of the skin was what was growing. I think the ripping off of the top layer and then applying that and then bandaging, the constant cycling made sure that there wasn't scars. Because I barely have any scars from burning my hands as bad as I did. It is crazy how that healed because your hands were fucked. They were fucked. So I barely have any scars because of that cycle. Now, I don't know if that's the breathing or because it was more gooped than usual. I have a feeling.
18:35Here's an experiment. Wade, we're gonna cut off your hands. We'll cut off both hands. We need a control. You need one, you need both hands. You need one and the other, yeah. Your left hand, we're gonna tie a bucket of goop too. Keep that in the goop bucket. It's not Resident Evil, dude. You can't just goop my hands. The other one, we're gonna put a blow dryer on. We're gonna dry that bad boy out. It won't just grow back.
18:56Wade:Yeah, well, you know, they might. It won't. How will we know until we try? So I don't think my hand will adhese to my wrist if it's completely severed. No, we'll adhease your hand. We'll implant your hand in your abdomen to keep it viable while we're doing the stump experiments. So you'll have two hands where your nipples are. Imagine having grabby nipples. You could do so much stuff. If you're perky and you know it, clap your hands. We'll put them on your butt cheeks so that when you're twerking, you can just clap, clap, clap, clap. Okay, I'm not saying it'll grow back, but you have heard stories of people like that.
19:32Okay, I don't know. This is gonna sound weird putting a pig bladder Some guy cut his finger off or something he put pig bladder on it grew back. Okay. I just heard that story for the first time now So no, I'm not I'm not lying wait pig bladder finger grow back pig bladder finger. Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, there's some it's not just pure pig bladder it was Derived from pig bladder, but I'm thinking it'll be the same. Ooh. Those are some pictures. Oh man mark Why'd you make me Google that? I did not Google nor will I don't okay?
20:07Wade:So it's like listeners and viewers don't so while they're looking at that another note It helped to turn my head slightly to the right and then apply the bandage because then whenever my head's looking straight There's a little more of a gap in some play But I can also move a little bit more back and forth without just immediately tugging the super tight bandage So uh, all right, I got it. We're gonna cut off your left hand stick it in a bucket of pig bladder We're gonna cut off your right hand. We're gonna stick it in a bucket of pig liver and we're gonna see which one grows back. Blatt twist, neither.
20:39Whoa, we've talked about this before. Holy shit. I looked up pig bladder finger grow back. There's a post on the distractible subreddit four years ago. Oh no! Biomedical engineering PhD here, which was my degree, so... Do you think you're better than me? Yeah, cuz they actually got it. And I wasn't even gonna get a PhD, so... Please don't chop off your finger and rub pig bladder powder on it. It won't grow back.
21:08Wade:But we're not chopping off the finger, we're chopping off Wade's hands. The fact that I have zero recollection of this conversation and it's so horrific and apparently there's evidence of us having discussed it is wild to me. Made four years ago. I know you never remember anything. I think Mark and I are actually on the same footing as you with this one. I have no recollection of that whatsoever. And that's definitely a thing it seems like you might remember. Like we have the games and the gimmick for the podcast, which is really cool and makes everything kind of unique. But at the end of the day, like we're just friends hanging out.
21:39Wade:And I don't know if you guys are, I'm at the point now where if I meet up with anybody who I've not seen in a minute, we are at the age where we tell the same fucking stories every time we see each other. Like, oh, I remember that basketball game in 08. And it's like, next time I see him a year from now, we'll talk about that same exact game, make the same comments, laugh, and then like quietly like, mm-hmm. Now what do we talk about? We've relived our three memories I usually try and talk about newer stuff But I do have stories I circle back to That's all I've got Well you gotta make new stories man That's why I've got so many new stories Gotta keep living L-I-V-I-N man I don't know what that spells Living I learned whole word language I don't know what you just said I had to think about it longer than I'd like to admit Somehow that's the second time We've talked about pig bladder finger regrowth.

22:30So that's kind of impressive.
22:32Wade:Four years later, guys, 2029. We'll circle back. But, but, but I'm thinking this will work this time. Well, I hope your neck heals up wonderfully. Thank you. The only other thing I had to add was Molly and I are getting older. We accidentally wore the exact same shirt yesterday, which was like a red hot chili pepper shirt. Just coincidentally, both got dressed. We do that all the time. There's like once every two weeks we'll wear the exact same shirt. and and another less fun thing last week we both fell downstairs uh i don't know why i was walking down our staircase and for some reason i was just like the last step no longer exists and i went to skip it and just bam right into a wall it was like that sucks why did i do that i knew that step was there a few nights bob were you in the call whenever i got the text yeah i we were playing uh battlefield because that has recently come out and you got a very scary text that was like really ominous and concerning.
23:27Wade:Yeah, I we were getting ready to jump into a game and I looked at my phone and it just said help and I was like what and then I fell in garage and I was like okay, so I was like guys I'll be right back and I flew up the stairs walked outside I feel bad describing what I saw but it's really funny It's a bad start that you're laughing. I'm just gonna say that's a bad start that you're already laughing Yeah, so I opened the garage door and you know it wasn't funny in the moment but like in hindsight it's a funny image because she turned out okay i opened the garage door and molly is just sprawled out on the garage floor laying on top of a bag of garbage like it's a pillow and in the moment i was like oh god is she like conscious is she okay did she break a leg like what happened did she fall and like slam into the car then hit the ground so i'm like checking on her asking her questions like before i help her up i'm like hey does anything like can you feel everything like you know i'm not a doctor but i was trying to make sure i wasn't gonna like hurt her back or her leg or whatever else and she's like i think i'm okay so i helped her stand up and she was all right knowing that she's okay i wish to god had gotten a picture of her laying on that garbage bag but in the moment i wasn't going to be the guy who's like hang on babe gotta get this for pasta for the doctors just so they know how you land like you know i couldn't do that but i've been making fun of her for cuddling a bag of garbage but uh thankfully she's okay bruised her knee bruised her foot but we both just forgot how stairs work this past week and we both like to wear the same clothes.
24:49Wade:We're both getting older and apparently marriage has turned us into like the same person. I am so glad that none of us are the type of internet people that have to document everything. I do give thanks for that regularly because I don't have the instinct to do that. If something's happening, I don't pull out my phone. I just go, huh, wow, look at that. Hindsight, I thought about it. In the moment, it was like evaluate, make sure she's okay. Do I need an ambulance? Yeah, blah, blah, blah. But afterward, I was like, man. I go too far the other direction because there are definitely times where i'm like oh i wish i'd taken a picture while we were all together oh well yeah that's true i'll never have pictures of anything i won't remember this she was full yamcha pose on a bag of garbage and i don't have a picture and it's just so sad to me in hindsight ah that's great that's great yeah see that for me that's not one of the things i would not it's more like oh our whole family was together for my birthday and And I never thought to take a single picture.
25:47If Mandy fell, I would not, after the fact, be like, gosh, I should have snapped a picture. Should have videoed the whole thing. That would have been great. Then we could relive it. I'm a terrible person in hindsight. I don't know what people. Is it just an instinct to do that? Or is it just like attention seeking? I don't know what the deal is with that because it makes no sense to me. It's habit. I'm sure it's that there's tons of people that just like, OK, my mom. She's pretty aggressive with it, yeah. Very, very on top of the whole documenting and uploading everything.
26:17Wade:We came over for that in-person chicken and dumplings day recording. I remember I just walked in the door and she was there with a camera. I was like, hey, how are you? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. If you accidentally ate baby carrots while you were visiting and suddenly needed to be rushed to the hospital, do you think she would record that? Or do you think she would get you in the car, get you to the hospital, and that would skip her mind? I'm not asking for a judgment. I'm just curious because like it wouldn't occur to me, but I don't take any pictures of anything ever, which is. I think it would, she would not film as I was in distress, but as soon as we get in that hospital and I'm either sitting in a chair or in a bed and I'm not dying, I think she would bust out the phone and she has.
27:01What if it wasn't you?
27:02Wade:What if it was like a neighbor? Wait, a neighbor was joking? Yeah. If a neighbor would she, it would like the motherly instinct kick in or would the filming kick in? Because with you, it makes sense. Like you're her kid, right? But like if it's a stranger because I'm not saying for her. Okay, I am saying her specifically this scenario, but a lot of like videos you see of like a car wreck or someone wrecking their bike. People immediately they don't go to help. They're like, oh, my God. Like, yeah, you're totally right. Yeah, I don't know. Not like a car wreck, though. It's just your mom in the yard and the neighbor is clearly like falling off the roof.
27:31And she's just like, oh, my God. And the guy's like, hey, hey, I don't think I can walk. Can you help? She's like, I think he broke his legs. Do you turn more this way? the lighting perfect i think she'd probably help go viral at all costs it's not even that see there's a there's like a different culture in some countries for for recording things like i i don't know if this is all korea this is definitely my family in korea they document everything that's where my mom gets it right they're always taking video they're always taking photos even of sad scenarios so it was like my grandma pretty much on her deathbed they got video of that um whereas like probably a lot of people wouldn't think to record it you know it's not for sharing but it wasn't for posting on the internet it's to show the people that weren't there to make them feel like they were in the room and at first my american instinct was like oh no this is sad but then i was like i was really appreciative that there was them in the room filming her last moments like she didn't obviously pass on right there in the video but it was like you know pretty pretty close to it.
28:33So it was, it was one of those things where I was like, okay, I understand that instinct, but the majority of people nowadays are filming to upload on the internet. That's our small talk.

29:58Mark and Wayne, today we're going to be playing a game I like to call the Oxford 3000. What is that? Oxford 3000 is a list of 3 ,000 words that Oxford Learner's Dictionary has put together that are the 3 ,000 most important words that a person needs to know in order to be fluent in a language. And this is the Oxford 3000 of American English. I sent the link in the chat. You can both pop open the list. It is 3 ,000 American English words sorted alphabetically. and we're going to be playing a game that revolves around these 3 000 words so this is one 3 000 word sentence horror story kind of but no way you're going to be going first i'm going to take turns sending you each a word and then at the end of the round uh you're going to get to pick whatever words you want if you think there are words that might be easier for you to earn points with and you are going to have to i'm going to send one of you a word and then you're going to have to follow the rules i give you to try and get your competitor slash teammate to guess what word it is so you have the whole way you can look at the list as much as you want um but you have to the round one is going to be you have to say it backwards so i'm going to send you the word you have to say it backwards and then the other person has to guess what word and you get points if you successfully get them to guess the word the guessers don't earn points you earn points when you're the one who is trying to get the other person to guess so you kind of have to play along and work together but it should be funny right this will be fun i'm ready you guys love words is it just you use it in a sentence but that word is reversed uh you can try and do that i sort of imagine this as just you have to try to figure out a way to say the word backwards that will lead the person down the path but do you want them to get the word or not i just want to watch uh you want them to get the word you earn a point if you successfully get your uh the other person to guess what word you're trying to get the rules are you can't say the word except backwards and i would like you to start by just trying to say the word backwards but if that is not enough you can do like mark said you can try and put it into a sentence or something or i want the word to
32:19Wade:succeed but also if we if you can't get it you can't get it so just say the word backwards that's all you want from me right if you can uh mum and nim mum and nim mum and nim mum and nim minimum nice am i allowed to tell him yes like yeah yeah once he actually gets it yes that's fine good work i will say i tried to like ramp the difficulty so i'm hoping this goes from easier to harder. Oh, we're going to be experts at this. But we all know how good I am at that. So, Mark, I've sent you your first word. Eel Ray. Eel Ray? Eel Ray. Yarly?
33:05You know you have to pick from actual words. Eel Ray. Eel Ray. Yarly. Yeah, you got him. let's say let's say you get three guesses so don't waste them but you can you can can have more than one work it out sound it out sound it out okay here's my brain eel ray
33:29Wade:honestly i think mark did a really good job on this one i'm just gonna ray r-a-y or eel ray all right maybe it just needs to be a time The Ray is kidding me. Ray is R-A-Y, right? Let's just say Ray is not always spelled R-A-Y. How about that? I'll give you that. Early. Early? Oh! Should I say if it is? Should I not react? No, no, you can react. If he's right, we know words. I trust you guys to know words. I couldn't get Ray out of my head as being R-A-Y, but I was like, ah, R-A-E would also be Ray, and then you'd have... Earl does like no ly Eel, but I guess it kind of would be be yule or eel.
34:16Yeah, all right, wait I sent you so you're the next word I'm sorry mark. What do you mean? Why why are you sorry?
34:28Wade:To kept sa So kept sa to kept sa to kept sa you sure Yeah marinating tekepsa tekepsa tekepsa apacus
34:55tekepsa tekepsa tekepsa aspect yes how did that get there I was thinking it was like UT at the end so I was like
35:11Wade:okay alright but like A makes it sound like it starts with an H so I was like I can't really do tokepsa so it's like tokepsa how do I get you to the A alright okay alright okay I really didn't anticipate I thought saying them backwards would be kind of like like how it's funny but what Wade said sounded like a word and then Mark was like
35:35Mark saying the actual word forward sounded like the backwards. Anyway, Mark, I sent you your second word.
35:42Wade:Man, I like giving the word backwards more than the thinking. Elpa. Elpa? Elpa. Elpa. Apple? You guys are so much better at this than I thought you would be. God damn. Don't worry, man. We're great at it. See, I can visualize the letters in my head and flip them around. I've got a unique advantage of this. Wait, I sent you your third word. What the fuck? I got this. I don't.

He does it that way. I say the first thing that he throws out is what I have to work with. And there's no other.

41:58Eli Eli With name He has had two syllables for every one of these I get Eli I'll give it to you Mark It's a two syllable word Forward It's clearly for Eli Marijuana I wish I will say wait I think you're throwing Mark under the bus a little bit with that. Eliwa name. Eliwa name.
42:29Wade:What? Eliwa name. What? Eliwa? Did some Chinese words get snuck into the top 3 ,000 American English experience I didn't know about? Eliwa name. Are you sure? Eliwa name. Eliwa. You're adding syllables to this, man. That's only the second half of it. I just can't not phlegm. Eliu name where the Hwa go it's gone What the fuck Why is it there in the first place Because I'm trying my best And my best isn't very good try Less hard Eliu Eliu name name Okay name name Name name Emmanuel Manual No you're in the ballpark but no It's a two syllable I know why he's doing it, but I think Wade is adding adding bits to this that are making it complicated Elioo Wally Wally Elioo Naeem Naeem Naeem Naeem Naeem Elioo Naeem
43:46Naeem Naeem
43:54What do you want from me? I'm going to say Wade has failed this one. But before I say what the word is, Mark, can I give you what I would do and see what you think of it? Yeah, sure. Lyle name. What? Lyle name. One more time. Nyle main. No, wait. God, this is so hard.

Oh, no, no, no. Yes, yes, yes. Senku. Senku? Senku.
46:03You know, Mark raises a good point. How do you pronounce dipthongs backwards? Who knows? I love dipthongs.
46:12Wade:Sen-ka-u. Oh, no. Okay, I had to look at what a diphthong was. If that helps you, then you're a genius. Sound formed by the combination of two vowels and a single syllable. Yep, that's the thing. Ka-u. Ka-u. Ka-u. Ka-u. Ka-u. Sen-ka-u. Ka-u. You-you-ac-ness. Where can they you from? Sen-ka-u. Sen-ka-u. I thought, what the fuck do you mean when we're getting the you?

49:03do you know what you said do you know what you said you're saying you're saying the word you're saying it alright well Mark definitely gets the point for weakness which is apparently a thing that Wade has when it comes to weakness you are weak you have a weakness Where does the oo come from? Kew. Weak. There wasn't an oo saying kew. Kew.
49:34Wade:I got stuck on the oo. You did what Mark did the one time except so much better. You were literally like weakness. Weak. Weakness. Weak. Weak. Weakness. I got weakness instead of weakness. Give him a huge one. I got it. Give him a big one. I was stuck with the O's. I couldn't get off the o's. Hey, I want four syllables. Come on. Good hit me. I'm closing the list. I don't need a list of words Oh fuck Revere

Wait, did I have Wade go first on that one? I went first overall. So that means Mark does need to do one more where he's...
53:19Oh, shit. I got it. Just give him the point. Give me the biggest one. You want the biggest one? No, no, no. Yeah, give me the biggest one. I got you, Mark. Enjoy.

Mark, you have to pick a starting word and then you have to guess another word. And Wade has to tell you if that second word is hotter or colder. And then you just continue on and on until eventually the hotness draws you to the correct word. Okay. Alright, I'm ready. Alright. Alright, Wade, do you have your word? I don't sound it out. I don't do anything. Don't sound it out. Don't say the word nothing, which starts with Mark.

1:00:21Wade:That tune, colder look through the list you'll find it in those 3 000 words contemporary no colder dangerous former i will say wade is i think mark you're approaching it from the size and similarity of the actual words i think wade is building on the themes yeah i think wade is thinking about the actual meaning of the words so like appalachia dangerous that's what i said whenever i thought we were playing this very differently volcano uh colder uh you know appalachian banana trauma yeah mark just think about how we got here banana tree trauma tarantula fuck appalachia mountain Injury? Danger. Danger.
1:01:14Wade:Sorry, what? Injury over danger. I'm going to say colder. I don't know. That one, that's a tough one. Crisis. Colder? Extreme. Colder? Enemy. Warmer.

Well, also, bears kind of fuck, whereas tarantulas didn't, so I was like, well... No, tarantulas do fuck. They fuck. Pretty much everything fucks. I don't know how they work. They actually come out of their holes to fuck. It's crazy. Man, that was a journey. Yeah, so what did we actually do there? I think because you were going like sound it's I noticed that you were like okay these words sound similar and I was like yeah I was going for sound syllables stuff like that and you were started off on the bees I just I decided earlier I was like banana's a living thing maybe we can just stick with living things and okay once once we were on the same page maybe we should go with that like it should be just the meaning because I believe that would have been quicker if it had been more meaning based we were like three words in before I realized you were going with sound and I was like fuck I've already gone down the path of we were it was too late for me to change strategies at that point.
1:03:10Wade:I'm willing to try one for you. I'll do it. I better be quick. And I'll do it based on meaning. Watch me be so much worse still. Now that I sent it, that feels mean. Is that too hard? We'll try. Okay. Okay, I've got to come up with two words. Yeah, find a starting word and then start guessing. First word will be spoon. Second word will be people. Warmer. Person. Warmer.

Okay, I thought you were on a path that you weren't. Back up back to man. Man. People, person, adult, man. Okay. Penis. Knowing where you're trying to go, I'm going to say colder.

1:06:27Marty? Yes!
1:06:34Oh, I was trying to avoid the proper nouns. I know, I know. I realized that. But you were just like, person, people, person. Oh, shit. Female. I was like, oh, you got to guess male next. Male.
1:06:44Wade:Okay. Okay. When you said colder there, I was like, okay, it probably isn't a male, female thing. I just kind of, I should have done the opposite. But I was like, eh, maybe it's just not that path. All right, gentlemen. That was the score shaking. Oh, there's so many scores. Mark, you earned points for, I believe her name is Amy, Beat Your Mom on Social Media, Pig Bladder Fingers, We're Getting Older, Early, Apple, Invent, Weakness, Psychologist, and Mark. Wade, you earned points for, and friends, pity point, Didn't leak about Mark's wedding, Lumpy Neck, Laughing at Molly Falling Down, Minimum, yeah, Minimum, Aspect, Friendship, Wherever, and Bear, leaving the current scores at mark with 10 and wade with nine i love it wheel wheel how many points how many wheel spins are we doing oh wheel that we have spun oh let me guess three oh three all right three wheel spins um oh you know what i didn't think about what i'm gonna add to the mystical wheel points um best word used like adheased adheased was a great word best word used there we go we got three spins coming up spin number one i swear to god if it's fucking sudden death or whatever i'm gonna oh well i'm i am so there did you lose points Oh, I thought it was almost tabs open I thought I was gonna swore it He was like, Tom, it was hardware Did you lose a point for that?

1:08:37Wade:I said it, yeah Alright, Mark gets the first bonus point for saying fuck the most. Alright. Yeah. Least points. That's me. Well, that'd be Wade. Damn it. Back down by one. Here comes the tie. We don't have to do that. Don't call it a back come. I won't. I would never call anything that. Except back come. Um... No! No! No! No! A double? Oh! Are we doing repeats? Oh, you didn't remove it? It's just not so unlikely We have landed Wade got like, what did Wade get Three in the row of the same one Half point, I think Yeah, we have done repeats It's on the wheel, man Yeah, it's fine Mark gets two fuck points And Wade gets one point for being the loser And remains the loser Mark wins with a score of 12-10 Good thing you swear so much, Mark Thank you, I know Uh, would you like to give us a fucking winner speech?
1:09:41What a fucking day. My fucking vocabulary is fucking enormous, just like the rest of me. Except my height. Fuck that, and I hate that fucking son of a bitch up there that made me short. But I fucking won. So I'll fucking take it.
1:10:01Wade:Wade, would you like to give us a non-fucking loser speech? You know, this was a lot of fun, actually. I liked saying things backwards more than I liked trying to think what Mark was trying to say backwards. Overall, a good time. That's a fun game. It's a hell of a brain teaser. Because both games, you have to think about how you want to play it. Whether you pronounce every letter. You just try to say it in a way backwards. Like, okay, if I flip it, I can say it and immediately get it. Or if you pronounce each letter so they know the letter. Because that's the way I was going. I was pronouncing each letter like, okay, he knows it ends in an E.
1:10:31Wade:But while you don't pronounce the E. You just have to think about how you approach it And I think we approach things a little bit differently Apparently you have to do whatever Mark did I like my way Next time my way will be the right way Oh yeah well we could absolutely play This exact game again with new words But maybe we'll space it out a little bit It was fun this is fun Anyway no one will be surprised This is another absolute banger from the mind of Mandy That was Mandy's idea Good job Mandy As usual turned out really fun Thank you boys for playing along Mark, you will be hosting the next one because you are the master of words.
