This episode is brought to you by Degree.

Degree is for the hustlers who put in the sweat, which we know a thing or two about.

For 35 years, 11 months, 28 days, and 6 hours, I didn't believe in deodorant.

But then Degree came along.

If you can relate to three relatable guys like us, Degree Advance has you covered with up to 72-hour sweat and odor protection.

Degree, here for sweat.

Buy now.

Don't you want that max?

Cooper loves that shoe too.

Oh, now he's into Cooper's food.

Wow, he is loving it.

What do you feed Cooper?

Blue Buffalo life protection formula.

He never leaves a crumb.

I love it because it's made with high-quality protein, nutrient-rich fruits and veggies, and wholesome whole grains.

Looks like we're switching to blue.

Blue Buffalo foods are made with the superior ingredients your dog needs to thrive.

Can your dog food say that?

The nutter for cases mimics Mini, then crashes the market with King Kong and classic jazz.

Movie Maker Mark digs Da Vinci, Black Magic, and Boo, then starts to gate war and bans boobs.

From bickering babies to new vools.

Yeah.

Yes!

It's time for Dippy Dog Does Dunkirk.

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

Hey everyone, hello, hello, hello.

Welcome back to another episode of Distractible.

I'm today's host, Wade, the Bald One.

Joined as always by my co-hosts and sometimes competitors, currently competing against each other, Mark, hi, and Bob.

I thought I was going to be be the bald one going forward.

I thought we were going to make a.

I thought.

It's fine.

That's fine.

I just thought we had talked about that.

I trademarked being bald, so I have to own it now.

I thought we got all the fighting out before the episode started.

We promised we wouldn't do this to people.

Look, I'm not fighting.

I was just asking a question.

I'm just curious.

That's what we do here.

We just ask questions.

Okay.

I'm not fighting.

I'm not fighting with that.

I thought we would complain a lot more than we should.

That didn't sound like a question to me.

I make some notes here about this complaining and fighting.

If this is your first time being here, the way the show works is one of us hosts the other compete for points.

Whoever has the most points at the end gets to see if they still win after some wheel spins.

And if they do, they host the next episode.

Nuh-uh.

No, I think he's actually right about that.

I know he's usually wrong.

Nuh.

You disagree?

That's not true.

I think he's just trying to lose points.

Mark, I see that side.

I see your cheek where that baby punched you.

That's not true.

I'll send that baby back in.

It's impossible.

Might be.

Small talk.

That's where we usually start.

So what's new?

Small talk.

Intrusive thoughts.

I'm having them.

They're not super intrusive, but they're stupid.

I like phone cases, right?

I have a lot of phone cases in my life.

Okay.

Yeah, we've heard that once.

And I don't know why this didn't occur to me, but the other day we were hanging out and

I was doing something on my iPad and James comes up and is like, hey, what are you doing?

And wants to play with the iPad.

And so he's sort of pawing at it and whatever.

And I was like, I know what I'll do.

I'll just slip the case off the iPad and hand that to him.

And then I'll keep the iPad part because I have a case that just pops right off super easy.

That worked fine.

But something in my brain was like, man, I hate that case.

So it's got the stupid edge, and the buttons don't work.

And then Mandy said something, or I thought something, and my brain was just like, why don't I collect iPad cases the way that I collect phone cases?

Those are the same thing.

I only have one iPad case.

I've had one this whole time.

Oh, no.

So it's really stupid because there's not a lot of differentiation in the world of iPad cases.

There's some, but it's not remotely like phone cases where there's all these different companies who are like, we have the best, whatever.

I can't get over it.

I can't let it go.

I'm sitting here staring at all these iPad cases, just being like, maybe that one.

Maybe that one's the one.

I'll just buy a couple.

Then I'll know the truth.

Anyway, it's not a serious problem, and I haven't bought any yet, but next time we get together expect me to have just a bunch of ipad cases and so it will be a problem i mean it's almost guaranteed at this point i don't like this about myself i don't mind the phone cases thing but the the ipad cases it's too far okay not that that's going to stop me from doing it because that's not how this works but it's too far you are a curious case i like that joke wade i liked it you are a curious case

i liked it i was just in the middle of my talking so i anyway that's all that's what i got going on oh actually can i throw a question out there?

Maybe the subreddit can help me with this.

Hey, electricians or amateur electricians in the subreddit.

I have an outlet in the garage.

It stops working when it rains hard outside.

I've checked the wall.

No water gets into the wall.

I've checked the outlet.

It's a perfectly fine, outdoor rated GFI outlet.

It's even under a plastic cover.

Nothing is, no water is physically dripping onto it or getting into it.

It's on the it's right next to the door to the house of the garage.

So it's not like it's out by the open garage or anything.

Why does it stop working, but only when it rains really hard?

If it just sprinkles, it doesn't affect it.

But if it storms, that outlet, the GFI pops.

What the fuck?

That's all.

I just, I've asked people, I've asked people who know about electrician stuff, and they were kind of like, wow, never heard that before.

Sorry.

If you know anything, help.

Please help.

Is it possible that you're just wrong?

What do you mean?

That the water does get in or something?

Or that, like, it goes off other times too when there's some cause unrelated to the water?

No, because the car, it's my car is plugged into it.

I have a plug-in hybrid and the car tells me on my phone when it's when it'll be like, oh, I'm unplugged.

What happened?

And so I know when it, because it happened at like in the middle of the night, it's been stormy the past week.

And so overnight one night, the car at three in the morning was just like, I'm not charging.

And I was like, I'm asleep, dude.

I don't fucking care.

But so I know exactly when it does and doesn't happen because that's what's plugged into that outlet.

It's always always storm-related.

Yeah, it's always when it storms really hard after the first day of storming, the next day sometime or overnight, it'll just start, the GFI will just pop, no more electricity.

And now it's working again.

It's already, it was only, I don't understand.

Anyway, if anyone knows anything, please help.

Please.

Fucking help.

Please.

I'll pay you.

Help.

That's all.

I just, I've chosen to do that with my small talk today.

So help.

Help.

Please help.

I have something that's actually

not related to anything I've talked about in the past, but semi-related.

But it's relatively new.

So many people know.

What are you writing?

What are you writing, Wade?

What are you writing?

I was going to give you a point for news topic.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Wait, talk about server farms.

Wait, tell us about lenses.

I have other things.

I'm not going to start with that.

But

it's related.

So,

man, this weird chilly thing.

You're making me have to clear my throat.

Stop it.

Yeah, what is happening here?

Just replace it with like Mario and Luigi noises.

Every time we cough,

I've been saying for a while that I didn't like Premiere, right?

I've used Premiere since 2012.

That's when I started editing.

That's when I started YouTube.

It's no coincidence.

I had it sincere.

I liked it, but only because it was the only software I ever used, and I didn't use any other.

And I've heard that others weren't that great, and Premiere was kind of the golden standard.

And I agreed with it.

It worked.

It worked well.

Every update since then, it got worse.

Not joking, got worse.

Performance got worse.

The

tools they were cramming there didn't always work well.

They changed how things worked that didn't need to be changed.

And eventually I started hearing about DaVinci Resolve.

Da Vinci Resolve.

Da Vinci Resolve.

And so I switched.

Da Vinci Resolve.

There it is again.

Yeah, that's me.

I've been doing it the whole time.

Wow.

Oh, you've been subliminally in your schmicky house?

Trying to get me to go over to Da Vinci?

I put a walkie-talkie behind the drywall in your bedroom, and I've just been meeting in the middle of the night like.

Do you have a financial interest or is this just a prank?

I just thought it'd be funny.

It's been a long, slow game.

Well, they just released the beta for DaVinci 20 and this is, I believe, the nail in the coffin for a lot of people that have not switched yet from Premiere.

Because number one, DaVinci Resolve is not a subscription.

It is a one-time payment if you want the studio version and it's free if you want the not studio version.

Do you get updates with that too?

Yeah, every update is still free.

They may change that in the near future.

People were kind of like iffy about it because they said in the recent one, but 20 is so much better.

So many new features.

The keyframe editor is improved.

They've got different magic masks.

The smooth cut has been improved.

So many other audio-based features for automatic transcriptions, assigning subtitles, even detecting like speakers in one, automatically diverting audio tracks, checkerboarding them.

So many good features.

There's a few controversial AI features that are included, but the fact that they're so robust for the same price that i paid three years ago now for it um because i bought it and i had it for a while and and hey i bought a black magic camera it came with studio for with it which is 395 if you buy it but that's once subscriptions for adobe are outrageous and they were locking you into those subscriptions they're like twice that much a year at full price it's like or more like it's ridiculous yeah and da vinci has you know editing audio editing they include better vertical video things they got better quick export features they just are more robust they have their visual Effects Studio built into it.

It's just better.

You mean it's not a separate software to do VFX like After Effects is?

What a fucking world to live in.

Fusion has its quirks, but as I get to know it more, because it's very different with node-based working, it's just better.

It's the industry standard color software.

What do you use for thumbnails?

For thumbnails, I'm still stuck.

I still do Photoshop, which is like the only software I pay for with Adobe now.

Is there even a real competitor to Photoshop?

I don't know.

I know GIMP is like an open source free thing, but I don't know a name-brand competitor to Photoshop that exists.

It's crazy.

There is a huge opportunity there for that.

And hell, maybe Black Magic would like to step in there, but it's really not their

arena.

Oh, they're like a hardware company, right?

I mean, we should make one and call it Picture Store,

but it is just awesome.

Took me an embarrassingly long time to get that joke.

I just, it's hit me.

Like, when you laughed, I was like, what did he say?

You should pay more attention to to me.

I'm the host.

Picture store.

Anyway, for anyone who even dabbles in editing out there, I highly encourage it.

It is, it was growing pains.

There are some quirks at it.

There are still some bugs, especially if you go at it with the idea that it works like Premiere does, which it doesn't always do that.

But for the most part, I have had such a better experience editing in it with my workflow, with everything about it, just all in one.

As an editor who's worked for 13 years now, just editing, which a lot lot of people are like, you're a YouTubers.

I still love, I love editing.

Editing is my favorite thing.

Editing Iron Lung, like any other big project.

He does that on purpose.

By choice.

He's pretty unhinged, really.

I enjoy it.

It's so fun.

Da Vinci, I'm not sponsored in any way.

I wish I was.

I really do wish I was.

Oh, there's another plug.

Here we go.

Da Vinci Resolve.

Hey.

Da Vinci, send him 500 megatons of palettes.

Mark needs a palette of DaVinci Resolve.

ASAP.

Dude, they throw those around like nothing.

I wish there was something more that I could get for DaVinci, but you know, the whole secondary market of like plugins is not as robust as Premiere or like After Effects.

And I get that.

There's some limited thing, but there's so many features built into the thing.

And there's more people that are joining, which means more plugins are going to be made.

It's great.

I love it.

It's great.

I think all editors should switch.

And if Adobe is listening, change your goddamn policies.

You are right now losing everyone.

And I know competition is supposed to be good.

You're losing.

If you can't see it now, look a few years in the head, in the head, in a head, in any head,

look,

and you'll see where the trajectory is going.

Look in your head.

Adobe only has themselves to beat, and they are currently beating the shit out of themselves.

No one else even makes things that compete with several of their mainstay pieces of software.

And they're still, people are still like, oh, maybe I don't need a PDF reader or Photoshop.

I'll just take better pictures, I guess.

That's how they'd be easier in my life.

It's crazy.

But yeah, DaVinci 20, it's still in beta.

Even I've ran into some bugs working with it.

So they still have some things to work out.

But all in all, man, it's great.

I gave some amount of points for that.

Very generous.

This episode is brought to you by Hershey's.

When it comes to a sweet treat, I love a combo.

Like those two flavors that just go together perfectly, like a little party in your mouth.

I think most people are with me on this, right?

If you want the ultimate combo, I think you should give Hershey's Cookies and Cream a try.

If you haven't had it, where have you been?

Rich, smooth, white cream packed with crunchy, chocolatey cookie bits in every bite.

It's a delicious balance of flavor and texture.

Hershey's Cookies and Cream, creamy, crunchy, and all yours.

I don't think so.

Wow, okay.

I mean, I do, but, you know, whatever.

Wade to just cut him off, Wade.

Wow.

It's my bad.

Wade, I forgive you.

I forgive you.

Bob, I feel like you're the me of this episode as far as competitors go, man.

Giving me some trouble as the host.

I appreciate that.

Yeah.

Good to have an antagonist.

And Taga this.

Editors put a penis in his frame, just slightly emerging from below.

Oh, no, from above.

That's even scary.

Hit him from all sides.

Just a blur encroaches from all directions into me.

Like, God.

I was trying to assume, you know, it's your own penis.

Like, you know, oh, I see.

I see it.

No, make one sneak up from behind him holding a knife, wearing a mask.

And tag of this.

All right, all right, enough of this.

I have a topic, and at first take, Bob, you might think this is skewed against you, but it's not.

Okay, that feels pretty fair.

I know for a fact that you two can come together and work together to make this happen.

However, only one of us here, as of right now, has or is working on a movie.

But I think that experience will be important because we're going to make a movie.

But let me set the scene for you.

I know stuff.

The year is 2040.

Okay.

You two have been making movies together for like 15 years.

You both know what you're doing.

You're experienced.

Okay.

The problem is you're out of ideas.

Writers have no ideas.

You two, no ideas.

AI can't help us.

AI cannot help.

But there's one thing that can.

Standing on the backs of those that came before.

And their backs have been crushed by time because their works are now in the public domain.

So we're using characters, plots, music, whatever else you might need that's now in the public domain.

The caveat is you can only take one thing from each work.

So one character, one plot point, song, whatever may be.

What's the statute of limitations on copyright, if that's the right term?

It varies country by country, and it's different for different things.

If two people go in on something together, it's like when the younger person dies plus 75 years.

Sometimes it's 95 years.

Can you just give us a number so we know what era and legality aside, laws changed in 2050.

So I picked 2040 for a reason.

Oh, 2040.

Just to give you guys what should be in public domain by 2040.

There's a bunch of characters.

If you guys look at like, you can just Google like what characters should be in public domain by 2040.

We'll just assume they are.

There's some interesting things, but I wanted to give you a little bit more to work with than what's currently out there because like, you know, there's, there's some stuff, but there's even even more.

Things like the original Batman comic, Popeye.

Does it change it if, say, that character originally appeared a while ago, but then has since reappeared?

Yeah, so like Steamboat Willie just entered public domain last year.

So you can use Steamboat Willie, but you can't use the more modern iterations of Mickey Mouse yet.

Is that what they argued?

Like, Steamboat Willie is not Mickey Mouse.

It's Willie.

I think officially, yeah.

So it's William.

Modern depictions or like, you know, things, the way things have changed, you have to wait for that version of it to go into the public domain.

So, like, when I say Batman entered the public domain or enters the public domain like 2034 or something, it's the original like

debuting comic of him.

Okay, got it.

Technically, Superman and Lex Luther appear in public domain, but Lex Luthor was originally only known as Luther.

So only the Luther version of him can appear until Lex, which is like 1960.

So add-on.

I mean, when Winnie the Pooh went into public domain, one of the first movies, like right out of the gate, was just Pooh.

And it was like just

a horror movie.

I don't know if that was real or not.

Was that real?

I think it was.

I never saw it or anything else about it.

I heard of it.

Winnie the Pooh is actually what Blood and Honey, that's what it was actually called.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, you two are going to work together to pick out some characters, a plot, soundtrack.

Be careful what you choose because you can only use one thing from it.

Hey, wait, what?

I mean, what?

Wait, wait, wait, what?

That wasn't confusing.

He had said that before.

Yeah, I'm misunderstanding your confusion here.

Oh, just one thing from one thing.

I don't know what I didn't hear, but.

Hey, a third one of those is coming.

Right.

Now he's mad.

A third one of Blood and Honey?

Yeah, Winnie the Pooh.

A third Winnie the Pooh horror movie is coming.

There was a Winnie the Pooh horror game.

I think I played it.

Maybe it was Roblox or something.

I can't remember, but I think I did something on it a while back.

Take a moment, find some characters, find whatever you think.

It's got to be in public domain by 2040.

But you guys cannot have original ideas, you're stitching together everything.

I already know who the main character should be, even before knowing your plot.

I have a submission for the main character, yes.

I figured it'd be too convoluted otherwise.

Mark, do you want to talk about this?

See if we come together on this.

Oh, oh, yeah, we're working together.

I forgot about that.

Um, yeah, I suppose we should.

Oh, wait, no, I'm an idiot.

Oh, wait, no, I'm not an idiot.

I'm smart.

All right.

Uh, Dippy Dog, the original character that was

is now Goofy, enters the public domain in 2028.

I saw Dippy Dog when looking.

Yep.

Dippy Dog.

I think Dippy Dog is a solid candidate for the main character.

Is Pluto in the public domain?

Pluto enters the public domain in 2026.

Originally named Rover, apparently.

So it might be the Rover variant.

Oh, so does Rover.

That is the character that is now Pluto.

When does Goofy, with the name Goofy, is that, is it just Dippy Dog that's out right now?

Oh, that's a solid question.

I don't think you guys can use Goofy or Pluto.

It would have to be Dippy Dog and Rover, most likely.

Let's see.

Goofy's copyright expires 2028 says Google Day.

And who knows what the real answer is.

2029, maybe.

Pluto will enter public domain, followed by Donald Duck and Goofy in 2029.

Oh, okay.

With the original.

I'm thinking there's a Goofy Pluto horror movie coming up.

Oh, okay.

Donald Duck as well.

I like it.

Did we just get genre, too?

It could be a movie adaptation of that animal Russian roulette game we were playing, but with Steamboat Willie, Pluto,

Goofy, and Donald Duck.

Liar's Bar.

Yeah, Liar's Bar.

Yeah.

Which movie that entered public domain has that plot so you can use it?

Oh, fuck.

12 Angry Men.

Is that in public domain?

Isn't the Hound of the Baskervilles pretty similar to Liars Bar?

Baskerville's what is the

Hound of the Baskervilles?

I'm fairly certain that it's not.

Yeah, apparently Goofy's name or persona was established in 1934, so I presume that means that Goofy, that Mark is right about those.

Hound of the Baskervilles.

Oh, it's

Stephen Hawking.

What is his name?

Sherlock Holmes.

That's it.

Stephen Hawking.

Hey, Stephen Hawking is SNH.

It was.

You could see that.

Oh, yeah, that's true.

That's true.

That's true.

Yeah, no, that was published in 1901, but there was a movie made of it 1939.

So that should be,

I believe.

Okay, so is that the one where what is that one?

What is that one?

Baskerville's Sherlock Holmes.

Do you have, Bob, you want to read their synopsis?

I only have a short summary of it, but basically, a guy seeks out.

Holmes and Watson because his friend was found dead outside of his mansion with no marks of violence, but giant paw prints nearby.

Mortimer fears the legend may be real that the heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, might be next to be murdered by the ghost doggy.

Ghost doggy

or the giant, the hound, the hound of the Baskervilles.

Yeah, the one I have says that Holmes is intrigued by a legend that every generation of the Baskerville family will eventually be killed by this monstrous hound.

Every generation.

Every generation.

Even back in time?

Interesting.

Anyway, the turn is it's actually just a big wild dog that is covered in phosphorus to make it glow in the dark and is trained and used as a murder weapon by a guy named Jack Stapleton, who is secretly a Baskerville trying to kill off

all of the Baskervilles and inherit the family estate.

No!

That's what I'm spoiled!

The movie I was going to make and needed to research is spoiled to me.

Well, now you can take part of that plot if you would like it.

Can we mix other movies in, or does it have to be just one?

Oh, yes, I encourage you to.

Just don't just remake the movie.

Okay, good.

All right, good.

I think it was lost that I said that that was the same plot as Liar's Bar, but it can expand a little bit.

I'm sure Liar's Bar is basically in there, or vice versa.

Liar's Bar isn't in the public domain, unless games fall under a different category.

Yeah, their public domain is one year.

Look, Russian Roulette probably is in the public domain.

I'm just going to go out and say that.

That's true.

There's also Wizard of Oz is probably in the public domain.

I don't care what the new movie, you know, Wicked is all that's not the same.

Wizard of Oz, Hound of the Baskervilles.

Hound of the Baskervilles in Disney's version of Oz.

I don't know when Wizard of Oz hits the public domain or hit the public domain.

The concept of Russian roulette is a gamer metaphor.

It's a 1900 novel.

That would be the novel would be, maybe not the movie.

The film was 1939, the same as the film for Hound of the Baskervilles.

By 2040,

that will be public domain.

This is fucking great.

And the game Russian Roulette is a concept or whatever is considered to be in the public domain.

Okay, we've got our plot coming together.

So the Cowardly Lion is goofy.

Baskerville, Wizard of Oz, and Russian Roulette.

Okay.

The Cowardly Lion is the guy who's wearing the Baskerville costume, murdering the Tin Man, Simbo Willie, and Dorothy, Pluto,

and the Strawman.

Everyone's inner demon.

Donald Duck.

Donald Duck.

Strawman, yeah.

Maybe Donald Duck is Dorothy.

No, no, no.

God, no.

That's stupid.

Oh, wait, no.

Donald can't be the scarecrow.

Donald is clearly the wicked witch of the west.

Well, then, who's the tin man?

Didn't we have another character lined up?

And just to be clear,

the cowardly lion is Dippy Dog.

Oh, no, we decided that was good.

I like Dippy Dog better, honestly.

Dippy Dog.

Cowardly Lion is Dippy Dog.

Who's Sherlock in this?

Is it the Wizard?

And where are they playing Russian roulette?

Who's Steamboat Willie?

Steamboat Willie is the tin man.

Scarecrow.

That's the one we need.

Scarecrow and Dorothy.

I don't know who Scarecrow and Dorothy are.

Well, what female characters are in the public domain?

There's comic book characters.

I think Wonder Woman might be by 1940.

Yeah, Wonder Woman will be public domain by then.

I don't know if that fits.

Okay, I got it.

It's a World War One period piece.

World War I's in the public domain.

Right?

Right?

World War I've got to be in the public domain.

Probably, yeah.

So we can steal anything from World War One.

You can have you can do World War One.

It's all coming together.

Okay.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand, also known as

fucking goofy,

is having a game of

Liars Bar

with Sherlock Holmes' nemesis.

Moriarty.

Moriarty, that's the guy.

Properly noticed.

That's his first name.

It was supposed to be a friendly game, but unfortunately, bang, boom, World War One.

Archduke, gone.

So Goofy's dead.

It's who killed Goofy?

Who killed Goofy and how did this start World War I?

The wizard of World War One.

It's perfect.

I think the title title should be simpler, though.

I think it should just be World War One.

A goofy war.

No, shorter.

It's just got to be.

A goofy war movie.

A goofy war.

A goofy war movie.

That's my favorite movie.

A goofy war.

Oh, man.

You know, he and his son go on a road trip.

Then his son goes to college.

And then his son goes to war.

Leading Tower of Bleed.

And that song is in it.

Eye to Eye.

Yeah.

Gun to Gun.

Is that in the public domain?

No, definitely not.

Okay, I've been trying to follow and keep up with the plot, but it's changed dramatically.

So, do we still have the characters from Wizard of Oz in this?

We, yeah, we gotta show out a goofy war because that's too close to a goofy movie.

It's not in the dumb.

That's true.

That's true.

Okay.

I've got Dippy Dog is the cowardly lion.

Steamboat Willie is the tin man.

Scarecrow.

Donald Duck is the wicked witch.

Dorothy.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand is also Dippy Dog.

No, what did I say he was?

Goofy, I thought.

No, Moriarty was facing him in a game of...

What are the slippers?

Oh, God.

What are the slippers?

It's a ruby red gas mask.

Click your eyes together.

I want to go home.

It's just someone with the red gas mask in a trench going, I want to go home.

I want to go home.

There's no place I go.

oh,

goddamn.

Look, all the best movies that win all the awards are depressing.

We got to make it as depressing as possible.

None of this happiness, none of this color.

Just like Wicked, just take all the color out.

Don't need it.

Is that what happened in Wicked?

Yeah, they took all the color.

That was the whole story.

Yeah.

They were like, ah, fuck all this color.

And they were like, get it out of here.

Okay, for Dorothy, we have a few options here.

There's Betty Boop, Wonder Woman, Snow White, I believe Mina Harker from Dracula, Alice, maybe from Alice in Wonderland, might be by then.

I've got one.

This is a bit of a twist, but come with me if you can see it.

Dorothy will be played by King Kong.

Right?

Really switching the roles, switching the roles.

Kong is currently in the public domain.

King Kong will be in 1929.

Think about it.

And that means that the Scarecrow can be played by Mary Poppins.

Yes?

Is that possible?

Wait, didn't Mary Poppins come out?

Wasn't that in the 50s?

Mary Poppins should enter the public domain in 2030.

The original characters, according to what I'm seeing online.

I don't know if that's probably the novel that preceded the movie we all know or whatever.

Okay, so Scarecrow is Mary Poppins.

Dorothy was King Kong.

Or the Dorothy is Tom and Jerry in a trench coat.

Tom and Jerry working together.

Nah, they wouldn't work together, though.

That's the thing.

I was going to say we still have Sherlock Holmes, Moriarty, and Archduke Ferdinand on the list.

It's shaping up to be like an Ocean's 11 kind of thing, but I don't know.

Dorothy should be Jerry and the flying monkeys should all just be toms with wings.

Because that's kind of the dynamic.

Dorothy should be Jerry.

Ah, man.

Ocean's 11 was really a 1960 movie about World War II.

We're one war off.

We're too many.

Ah, it's never going to work.

I think we need to simplify the plot or make it more complex.

I think more complex is definitely the way to go.

What is the plot?

Because simple, you know, this is 2050, 2040.

People are smarter now.

For sure.

Almost guaranteed.

Oh, yeah.

Education going up.

Yeah, absolutely.

So far for plot, I have Wizard of Oz, Hound of Baskerville's Russian Roulette, World War I.

I think what it's missing is a

finance aspect.

I think we should, the

climax, the turn into the third act should be the stock market crash of 1929.

I guess the stock march crash would be public domain.

And the stock market can be played by King Kong.

Who is Dorothy?

Yes.

So it's like the house that Dorothy was in is the crash incoming and then boom lands on the poor businessmen of the New York Stock Exchange

where Archduke Ferdinand was visiting playing a game of Russian roulette.

Played by.

Played by

Pluto or no, Goofy.

Rover.

Rover.

Ding Rover.

Rover.

Yeah.

Rover's Archduke Ferdinand.

Who's Moriarty and Sherlock in this?

Moriarty definitely needs to be Bugs Bunny.

Yeah.

Oh, yes.

Great.

Choice.

And then Sherlock needs to be

also Bugs Bunny.

The Hunter.

No, what's his name?

Elmer Fudd.

I don't know if he is in public domain.

Bugs Bunny is supposed to enter the public domain by 2035, the original character, apparently.

Oh, easy.

Okay.

Elmer Flood is Sherlock Holmes.

Yeah, so Elmer Flood is Sherlock Holmes, and his shotgun is called Watson,

and Bug's Bunny is Moriarty.

Who killed Franz Ferdinand in the New York Stock Exchange, not with a gun

in Russian roulette, but with Dorothy King Kong crashing onto the entire New York Stock Exchange, therefore sparking World War I.

Can you run the bunny one more time?

I was this movie.

It's going to be like eight hours long.

No, a tight 90-minute movie.

This is really, really tight.

This isn't

public domain, but this is also not copyright infringement, I don't think.

The World War I part of the movie, because I assume there'll be a war part, is like Dunkirk.

It's a one-er.

One camera follows the entire war chapter of this movie.

It's just one big running shot of the war.

You know what else is in the public domain?

Charlie Chaplin.

Go on.

He's a funny guy.

He's a funny guy.

Well, how are you using him?

When the New York Stock Exchange crashes, there's a window that he just like stands in.

It goes right around him.

He does that bit a lot.

Yeah, I was going to go on to make a Hitler joke, but everyone's already made that joke.

Go on, those are in good taste.

No, everyone's already made that.

You know, Charlie Chen with the mustache.

I was like, he survived that, but then became jaded because Hitler fought in World War I and then went on to become well.

He didn't become Hitler, but he was Hitler.

He went on to be himself.

I don't know if Hitler's in the public domain.

Something, something.

Beer hall push, something, something.

Something, what?

Beer hall push?

Was it like a failed attempt at like a coup by him or something?

I don't know.

I don't know my history.

I super don't know my history.

Don't confront me with this.

But who needs to know history?

History isn't about...

This isn't about history.

The Beer Hall Push, also known as the Munich Push, was a failed coup attempt by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party, in Munich, November 8th, 8th, November 8th to 9th, 1923, aimed at overthrowing the Weimar Republic.

Weimar.

Weimar.

Well, thank goodness that didn't work.

But hey, it would be in the Beer Hall Push public domain.

Beer Hall Push is in the public domain.

I think maybe that doesn't.

We have enough war stuff.

I think that's kind of a hat on a hat.

So the Great Depression in 1929 falls on the New York Stock Exchange and starts World War One in 1916 is the movie.

Wait, no, the Great Depression doesn't fall.

King Kong falls on it as Dorothy.

King Kong, who is Dorothy, which is in the house, which is the stock market crash.

And the Twister is the Great Depression.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not public.

Oh, no, Twister from Wizard of Oz.

Got it.

I was like, Twister's not public domain.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I wouldn't do that.

I wouldn't do that.

I wouldn't do that.

Yeah, no, that's not what we're talking about.

Got it.

Film fun fact.

Do you guys know how they made the tornado in Wizard of Oz?

I do.

Wait, do you?

It's worth points if you do.

I remember reading this, and it wasn't that long ago that I did.

It was something.

No, just tell me because I don't remember.

Mark might actually know it better than I do.

Was it asbestos or was it just like talcum powder?

It's a big

linen bag tube, basically, that they filled with dust.

And then there's just someone up top just going

and making the dust come out, which gives it the tornado-y effect.

Yeah, it's a really convincing effect.

No, it looks cool.

Especially given the era and being all black and white, or I guess brown grayscale at that point.

Yeah, no, it's that.

It's a big piece of cloth that is strung out like this, and they might be blowing air into it as well.

I was thinking cloth, I didn't remember the dust part of it, but yeah, no, the dust, the dust definitely helped made it.

Yeah, no, it's a really good, it's a really good effect.

Like, you can do a lot with practical and get away with it, but not important anyway.

Sorry, what was the twister?

You were getting to something.

The house is the stock market, it crashes on the stock.

The twister was the Great Depression,

oh, okay.

Yeah, so it's the Great Depression, symbol is symbolic.

People like symbology, and Charlie Chaplin's there.

Just doing house falls and Pratt Falls and stuff.

Just doing physical comedy.

Okay, let me read my cast of characters here.

I've got Cowardly Lion played by Dippy Dog.

Steamboat Willie is the Tin Man.

Scarecrow's Mary Poppins.

Donald Duck's the Wicked Witch.

Dorothy is somehow both King Kong and simultaneously Jerry.

Yeah.

The Flying Monkeys are Tom.

Archduke Ferdinand is Pluto slash Rover.

Horiarty Bugs Bunny, Sherlock Elmer, Fudd, Tornado, Great Depression.

Charlie Chaplin.

Watson is Elmer's shotgun, just to be clear.

The plot is Dorothy Jerry King Kong falls, lands into the New York Stock Exchange, which is World War starts World War One for some reason.

There's Russian Roulette being played, and then the Great Depression swirls around and lifts them up.

Yeah, the tornado is the Great Depression.

It picks them up and it flings King Kong bird Dorothy into World War One.

And that's how we transition from sort of a third-person camera into like the second-person one-shot following camera for the World War I sequence.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is there more to the movie, or is this the whole movie?

That's just the beginning.

We're going to spoil the whole movie.

What kind of movie is that?

It's just the opening sequence.

Yeah, we can't tell you how it goes.

You have to watch it.

Okay, it's a wonner.

I know some of you can't imagine this in your mind, but imagine it starting from a helicopter shot of the New York Stock Exchange.

Period perfect.

It's a scale model rep that goes down into one of the big chimneys, gets a swirling smoke all coming up around, and then it emerges and starts to circle around.

You see, you see Elmer Fudd stand.

No, you see Bugs Bunny with a revolver pointed right at Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who's played by whoever the fuck he's played by, and swirling around like you don't have the guts.

It's duck season, rabbit season, duck season, rabbit season.

Bang!

Has a blanket.

King Kong slams down, whirling Twister.

The camera gets sucked up.

Everyone's like, oh,

up into the sky.

Then, then, then the title comes out of the twister.

And Bob?

Oh, yeah, that's what I've been thinking about the whole time.

I was ready for that.

I wasn't just listening.

The title emerges from the twister, and it just says,

We abandoned a goofy war movie.

Is that not

a goofy war?

No, I love it.

It's unrelated.

Little Kong on the exchange.

The movie is called, wait, I've got it.

Tom and Jerry, Colon, the murder of Archgoo Ferdinand, and all that follows.

And World War I is summarized in, and all that follows.

Long titles are in.

We got all through the short titles.

It's like URLs for websites.

All the short ones went away real quick.

So we're running out of short ones.

Only so many words.

Got to go longer.

AI started churning out movies.

So we got

this limited window.

Yeah, tastes have actually changed so much that human art is emulating AI art because consumers have been conditioned to believe that AI-generated stuff is like the main meat of the market.

And if you want your movie to actually chart and perform at the box office, you basically are trying to make an AI movie just with a little bit of human perspective injected into it.

But you don't want it to be too human.

You want it to really be sloshed around like it's an AI mixing everything up in there together.

Now, if we can make...

a deal with whoever owns a goofy movie and be like, can we use a goofy war?

Yeah, maybe that's the one we buy the rights for.

There's only one thing missing from our movie so far.

When?

Music.

What songs that enter public domain are going to be featured in the movie?

Happy birthday.

All right.

It's a slowed-down, horrifying child singing it version of as it goes down into the chimney, happy

goes minor chord.

As the camera goes up into the twister, that's when it rings out.

And many more.

And then it goes into the main movie.

Yeah.

So here's some good news.

Your movie comes out and it's a hit.

Didn't even make it yet.

I knew it will be.

They love it.

They love it.

They love it.

Using our time machine in 2040, we see the future.

But they want more.

They want a sequel.

And you can't reuse anything that you used in the original.

I don't even know what we used in the original.

Look at those sequels.

Unfortunately, this has been in my notes the whole time because I knew you guys would try to use as much as possible in the original.

How many years ahead are we?

Oh, 2045.

Five years later.

Originally, it was also, I gave you guys some leeway because it was supposed to be one thing per work.

So you're like, you know, if you were going to go to Wizard of Oz, you had to pick like one character.

I gave you a bunch because you guys were just

paintballing everything from every work.

So now we've moved on to a sequel where you can't use anything from the original.

World War II's in public domain in 2045.

World War II's in.

Everyone's favorite sequel to the Great Depression, World War I.

We got it.

We got it, boys and girls.

We got it.

So no Sherlock,

no Wizard of Oz, probably, because we used a lot of Wizard of Oz.

King Kong, gone.

Charlie Chaplin, out.

Bugs, Elmer, Tom and Jerry, Pluto, Goofy.

Wizard of Oz, Hound of Baskerville's Russian Roulette, World War I, stock market crash, Great Depression, all out.

Happy birthday.

Can't use it.

Damn.

I think there's going to be a lot of music in this one.

It's okay.

No, we still have options.

You know what?

This is a different tone.

You haven't used like any superheroes that have come in.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman.

We still have Betty Boop and Popeye.

Love interests.

Oh, no, that's not.

What's Popeye's girl?

Olive.

Popeye and Olive.

We can have Popeye and Olive.

Not in your movie necessarily.

You can have whatever you want.

Yeah, I mean, Popeye and Betty Boop could be love interests.

This is true.

What stories could we use?

That's a great question.

There's probably a lot out there.

Okay, here's movies in the 1940s: Casablanca, Citizen Kane, It's a Wonderful Life, The Bride of Frankenstein.

Yes.

The Sands of Iwo Jima.

Classic.

1949, Sands of Iwo Jima.

So, Iwo Jima's on the board.

All right, so Sand is in, Iwo Jima's in, Miracle on 34th Street.

Sherlock Jr.

came out in 1924.

We could use Sherlock Jr.

It's a Buster Keaton movie.

No Watson, Sherlock, or Moriarty, but you can use Jr.

Santa is in.

We can also use Nosferatu, which is one of the first horror movies.

What did happen to Nosferatu?

Real Estate?

The plague?

Naked Girl on a Horse, at least in the more recent one.

The Royalty Count, right?

That's a title.

That's the thing you remembered out of the most recent one.

I didn't even remember that scene.

Naked Girl on a Horse.

It just came out of nowhere, so it was kind of like, what?

I think it made sense.

I didn't think about much.

Oh, also, Dracula.

Just Bella Lugosi's Dracula came out in 1931.

Oh, you guys didn't use Dracula before.

So we did.

We used Donald Duck.

We did not use Daffy Duck.

So Daffy Duck

is

Dracula.

And then we got Lola Bunny.

No, that was probably later.

Oh, what's the...

You still got Wonder Woman, Betty Boop, and whoever else I said.

No.

Okay, you don't.

Okay, we got The Picture of Dorian Gray came out in 1945.

Phantom of the Opera, 1943.

We do have Miracle on 34th Street, which is in 1947, which means Santa Claus is there.

So far, I've got Daffy Duck is Dracula.

Dracie Duck.

Dracky Duck.

Dracky Duck.

I can't do a good Daffy Duck.

I would try to do a Dracula Daffy duck if I could, but I don't think I can do his like.

No one needs that.

You don't have to.

No one's asking.

Tweety Bird's owner, Granny, is an option, I think.

Is that Daffy's love interest?

Is that Mina?

Who's Mina?

The original Dracula?

Isn't Mina like the one he goes after?

These aren't the kind of details I bother myself with.

I think we should ground this in a much more human story.

I think we need to incorporate into the story.

It needs to be structured around It's a Wonderful Life.

Okay, okay.

Plot.

It's a wonderful life.

Same genre as it's a wonderful life, which is

horror slash touching family film.

It's a wonderful death.

Oh, yeah.

It's a wonderful birth.

It's a Dracula bite.

Daffula?

Wait, what are we calling him?

I hate it.

I really, I hate it.

I hate that.

It's a wonderful bite.

Look, I'm just trying to find anything that I know anything about here.

I don't know a single thing about any of these characters or stories that we're currently dealing with.

It's a wonderful war.

We forgot about World War II.

Oh, that's right.

It's a wonderful war.

Dracula in the World War II movie.

That's right.

And to flip it on its head, in this one, the sequel, The Wonner is actually the part that's not about the war.

It's really boring.

There's a lot of mundane, everyday stuff.

The action, the interpersonal action happens, and then it's just a camera in a room with people eating food and scratching their nose.

and it's very very boring and off a guard all right i'll have that except we have to have way to wink we have to have a five and a half minute long credit opening credit sequence of hear me out naked woman on a horse

what movie is that from that's in the domain i thought that was from nosferatu i mean it's definitely a movie that that's from we can't come up with any any any original ideas i assume that was a an homage to the original that was in the original that was in the original yeah probably.

I've not seen the original, but I'll choose to trust you.

No, there was some lost footage from the original.

The entire movie was compiled from different pieces from a few different theaters.

So there was actually a secret scene that nobody knows about, but it was obviously filmed of a really, really long slow-motion sequence of a naked woman on a horse.

Listen, I'm a boob guy.

You talked me into a boobs on a horse?

No, not showing any of that.

Actually, hair over the boobs for taste.

Yeah, it's artistic.

Everyone's expecting boobs.

We hit them with no boobs.

It is a sequel.

I guess it does have to be worse than the original.

All right.

Fair enough.

All out.

There are some better sequels.

Are we done?

Can't say I'm not disappointed.

So far, your plot is it's a wonderful bite.

World War II.

Daffy Duck is Dracula.

Does that sound like you're done?

Yeah, that's it.

Yep.

Yeah, I'm with you.

It sounds like a movie.

Are there any other characters other than Dracula?

We listed so many.

I'm not going to list them again.

Did you?

Yeah.

Such as Daffy.

Look, I'm not going to get into it.

Such as Daffy Duck is Dracula.

That's true.

I can't argue.

You did list that one.

Like, if you can't pay attention, I don't even know why we're bothering here.

Wasting our breath on this.

It's cool.

I play all your games, but sorry.

We've pretty much nailed that.

I'm going to move on to music.

This one's easy.

It's a sequel.

The tone is different.

The entire score for this is early American jazz and pop music: Maple Maple Leaf Rag, St.

Louis Blues, Ain't We Got Fun, classics.

Honestly, we're just doing this for the money at this point, so this is basically a cat.

We don't have to work too hard.

I missed your music.

Did you guys name a single song?

He just, he, he was, he was just blasting it out there.

Yeah, I named three songs.

I was opening it.

Name them again, please.

Maple Leaf Rag, St.

Louis Blues, and Ain't We Got Fun.

All right.

We have three songs, one character, and title.

That's a movie.

And I said, generally, early American jazz and pop music.

There's a lot.

Everything that pre-1929 jazz scene is rife with songs that all sound largely the same.

I'm not going to lie.

The sequel was much less well-received than the original, especially when you started off by covering the boobs.

Good.

We must be done then.

But everyone went to see it because it was a sequel to such a great movie.

So you guys made a lot of money on it.

Oh, cool.

It's like three dudes hanging out on a rooftop talking about the future.

Three dudes hanging out on a rooftop installing solar panels to provide a sustainable future.

Pretty awesome consequences, if you ask me.

New Welch's fusions are so good.

Each one is a combination of two fruity flavors in one juicy bite.

One flavor on the outside, another on the inside.

It's an unbelievable taste sensation, so they are recommended for experienced taste buds only.

You've been warned.

New Welch's Fusions, please use responsibly.

So

I guess I'm going to have to add something to a wheel and do some points and stuff here.

Thank God.

Um, I'm introducing a new mechanic to the show that we've never done before because, like, there were just points here where I don't know what the fuck was going on.

I tried to keep up.

I was writing notes.

I've got a whole thing of notes, whole thing of notes.

But there were points where your guys' contributions were so muddy, callbacky, murky, I didn't really know what to do.

So I just wrote down some question marks.

And I've decided that each question mark represents a D6 roll where you can earn up to three points or lose up to three points.

So, like, a one is a minus three, a two is a minus two, three is a plus or a minus one, four is a plus one.

There's no zero, it's just negative three all the way to plus three.

I like that.

Oh, I don't know about that.

Each one of you got six question marks.

So, I've got the dice roller here that's going to show the history.

So, all right, so we're going to roll the d6.

Mark, your name's up first, so let's go ahead and just roll it.

What was my question for?

What were you confused about?

Oh, you have six questions.

You each have six question marks because you both confused me.

So, at least it's even unevenness.

The higher the number, the better for you.

as is always the rule all right mark we have a two which is minus two points so let's just mark we have minus two plus two for the five minus two for the two minus two for the two plus one plus one so that's plus four minus six so you lost two points on that wow i feel like i didn't even get a chance to like send good vibes towards the roles you just blasted them all out no you did not do you feel like that was unsomething?

I just, you know, I.

Do you know the total points yet?

Do you want to use it now or later?

You can use it now.

I'm going to see what happens.

All right, Bob.

You also have six question marks.

Six, six, six, five, six.

That's smart.

You should probably give us some vibes.

Come on, do it.

Do it for me.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Boom.

That looks pretty good, Bob.

That's not bad.

Bob, we have minus one, plus one, plus two.

See, he got, he got to,

he got to like inject his

the universe with like luck.

That's how it works for me.

Bob, that is minus three, plus eight.

So you got a plus five.

All right.

Mark, you lost two.

Bob, you gained five.

Yeah.

Well, okay, now best two out of three.

No.

I feel like if I clarify the question marks, you know.

You're asking for a chance to explain your confusing.

Yeah, I want to explain.

Just because my ideas are so cerebral, I understand they're not for the average mind.

So here's what happened.

You guys both talked back and forth.

We went through a lot of reiterations of plot.

I couldn't type or write fast enough to keep up with it.

And so what I decided was fair was to mark that some amount of points were gained or lost depending on contributions.

And I left that as my right as host up to a little bit of chance.

I feel like that's not your right as host.

I think

part of the core of the Constitution that we created was that we didn't want episodes to be decided by chance.

Well, they're not entirely decided by chance.

Chance was just a part of it.

I would argue that wheels are also chance, and we allow wheels.

Coin flips are chance, and we allow coin flips.

Yeah, that's like a special carve-out.

Yeah, but they're only earned, you know, it's earned based on what the...

I mean, look, you are the host, and I am not invoking any rights.

I'm just throwing that idea out there.

I'm not invoking anything.

Well, there aren't any rights to invoke other than one that I believe still exists.

Yeah, well, I'm not invoking that one.

I'm just throwing out some thoughts that I had.

All right, one of you might invoke it soon.

Let's see.

Mark, you got points for Da Vinci

Resolve?

Resolve.

I thought it said residue.

Resolve is probably what I wrote.

After I saw the latest update, I left some Da Vinci residue, if you know what I mean.

You liked my jokes twice, so you got two points for that.

And there were the question marks we resolved.

Russian Rolette.

Happy birthday.

And then characters.

Some of the characters.

I don't know.

There's a few points for characters in there.

Then there's the three other question marks.

Bob, you got points for iPod Case Collector.

I interrupted you, which was rude of me.

Drowned Outlet.

You're in Mark's Walls with your radio.

A Goofy War.

Mask.

Movie, Mark.

King Kong is Dorothy.

It's a Dracula Bite.

Scarecrow Peepies.

That's gonna be what that says.

Scarecrow.

That's probably what I said.

Mary Poppins.

Scarecrow Poppins is probably what that says.

Three points for various musical contributions, which I wrote down on here.

Maple Leaf Rag, St.

Louis Blues, Ain't We Got Fun.

Ain't We Got Fun.

And then you got the five points for the question marks because you also had six question marks on here.

Bob, you got five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, plus five, sixteen points.

Mark, you got 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

8 points.

Seems like the dice didn't do you many favors, but we haven't done our wheel spins yet.

So maybe you're right.

You're going to have to get eight points on wheel spins.

All right, here's where I'm not throwing the thing is because I get dice are impartial.

Thank you.

And there's no way that I could have universally injected injected luck into them.

But I can now.

I am invoking you, gods of the coin.

I declare.

Unfair.

Okay, so I just read you the score was 16 to 8.

Invoking unfair, you're saying that's not the score.

So if you are right.

I want, I just want a chance.

You would double your score to

no.

I don't.

Here's what I...

Oh, gods of coin.

I just want to remove all points that were decided by a dumb question mark.

Make me have a chance.

Okay.

All right.

So then

what's the tails outcome of that?

Double.

All the points are added by question marks.

Yeah.

Oh, only question mark points?

Only question marks.

Well, if it's either no question marks or all or double question marks, right?

No, I like that.

What if all the points are converted to question marks, but all new question marks have to be rolled?

So then we, then it basically kind of resets the points and it is it will be even more fair, doubly fair.

If question marks are the fair way, then so shall it be.

But if they're unfair, get them out of here.

If Mark wins, the score would be 11 points Bob, 10 points Mark before we go into wheels.

All right, all right.

I would take it.

If it's all question marks, then the score is five to negative two with a whole lot of sixes to roll.

All right.

I'm okay with this.

Come on.

Heads is Mark.

tails all heads is get rid of question marks all tails is all question marks i love this this is my favorite one we've done so far this is this is what it's meant to be please don't be nothing ha

tails oh my god tails tails that's tails because heads is the lady in the dress okay so we're into all question marks i guess that's

An acceptable outcome.

Well, right now it's not looking good for you.

Thank you, Godzilla My Fair, I think.

Maybe.

Hold on for a second before I thank you.

So I have to roll 10 D6s for Mark and 11 D6s for Bob and then do all the math.

I like my chances.

Starting with a three-point lead.

You have a seven-point lead, Bob.

It's all question marks.

That's all right.

Get ready for the most sixes you've ever seen in your life.

And I just hope it's on my turn.

All right, so who's this for then?

Mark, you won the challenge.

No, you lost the challenge, technically.

Technically.

So Bob, you decide who goes first.

I want to go first.

All right.

Bob is first.

Bob, I have to roll 11 D6s for you.

Yes.

Good.

Okay.

One.

Two.

Yes.

Three.

Oh.

Four.

Oh.

Five.

Yes.

Six.

Yes.

Seven.

Yes.

Eight.

Oh.

Nine.

Yes.

Ten.

Yes.

Eleven.

Yes.

No, wait, no.

I don't know what the hell that came out to.

I got a final tally of three, plus three to my score, but we'll see if everyone agrees.

I got plus three as the end.

That's what you said.

Yeah, that's what I got.

You have a plus three, and you already had a five.

So right now you're at eight.

Yes.

Eight to negative two.

That's in the range.

Okay.

That is possible.

Mark, you started at negative two.

You've got ten rolls.

Uh-huh.

I'm watch.

You better roll some fucking winners.

All right, ten times.

One.

No.

Two.

Three.

Yes.

four all right five nope six nope seven nope eight no nine yes ten yes

that's so close wait

okay so mark we got plus one

minus one plus one plus one

plus three plus two uh-huh plus one plus three

No,

minus one plus three.

Is that right?

One, two.

I got twelve.

I got twelve.

Eleven minus one is ten plus.

I got thirteen.

Oh, well, I'm not very good at math, but I agree.

I might be wrong here.

Let me let me double-check.

No, that's what I got.

I got 13 too.

So you're probably right.

I'm not good at it.

I did that all on the fly on my fingers.

One, two, five, seven, eight, eleven, ten, thirteen minus two.

Eleven.

So eleven for Mark is greater than eight for Bob.

No.

What a weird switch.

So right now, going into the wheel spins, it is 11 to 8.

Oh, man.

What do I want to add to the wheel for this?

Oh, that's right.

You got to add your thingy.

What about biggest comeback?

Because we kind of have the host kind of has a sense of like, oh, your wade hasn't got any points yet so far.

So he's, you know, like he's down by a lot.

Bob was winning pretty convincingly till the three tails happened.

That would be the most convincing.

That would apply to this.

I don't see any that need to be balanced out currently on the list.

I think what we ended up doing was half point for you, half point for me was what Mark added one time.

Yeah, I think it just.

So it was kind of fair to both of us.

And so I think I don't have a half point on there, but that's fine.

I'm not going to lie.

I don't know what to add at this point.

I mean, best comeback is definitely an option.

We'll do best comeback.

We'll do the...

Yeah.

Man, that's good.

I think that's good.

Best comeback could apply for best comeback to someone's thing or best comeback points-wise.

We can kind of interpret it.

Therefore, it can make sense even if there isn't a crazy comeback.

There could be a best comeback.

All right, Bob will have to roll all of our things.

I've got this.

The only thing that could save you, Bob, is a three.

Yeah, I need a three, which is

unlikely to get another three.

I'd give it a 33% chance.

It's unlikely.

All right, here we go.

How many bonus points will there?

Yes!

No, no!

I thought it was going.

I thought it was going.

Almost.

One spin.

I think I'm in trouble, boys.

Give me the best comeback.

One spin of the mega bonus wheel for Mark.

Lost most points.

Wait, who would that be?

That would be me.

Yeah, because technically Mark's spin made you lose the most points.

I had 16, and now I have 8.

And you had 8, and now you have 11 or whatever, 10.

That's true.

That's true.

Let me actually look at who lost the most.

Mark lost 2, 4, 6, 7, eight.

Mark lost eight.

Bob, you lost one, two, so that's three, six, nine, twelve.

You lost 14 points through rolls.

Yeah, that's earned.

Consolation bonus.

That one's worth five points.

Well, with a final score of 11 to 9, Mark, you have won, and you have earned the right to the winner speech.

I will say this.

I was unsure about this little coin.

Even though it wasn't all in my favor for the coin flip, still,

the laws of the universe saw to it that it became more fair than ever.

And I

believe that this is bringing balance to the force.

I am the chosen one.

I will become Darth Vader.

It's wild that in 10 dice rolls you only lost points twice and both were only minus ones.

Well, I mean, the first set of dice rolls really didn't go in my favor, so, you know, I think it's a good thing.

that's true i think it's all right i think it's alright well congrats bob the surprise losing speech after a dominant performance i don't know if anything more defeating than this has occurred to this point in my life i contributed a lot i clearly kicked mark's ass in the actual material parts of this episode i believe the original final score was 16 to 8 which would have been the second time in recent memory i beat my opponent by double their score.

The other one was weighed previously.

Okay, we have to bring up the past.

I am the best competitor on this show.

I am the funniest.

I am the smartest.

My only weakness is I can't for some fucking reason get the dice or the coins to fall my way.

I don't understand.

It's fine.

I'm not mad about it.

It's just...

It's just defeating, you know?

After being the best at everything for so much of my life, to have this bring me down so consistently,

at this crossroads,

I'm losing the ego that everyone knows and loves me for.

It's just not going to last forever at this rate, okay?

So if you want this to stay around,

maybe let me win sometimes.

How about that?

Hopefully that continues to be a thing, but if you'll be leaving this, then I guess I'll have to bring on Mr.

Bob.

The show will end very shortly thereafter, Bob.

We kind of need you here.

Editors, put my head on Wade's arm.

i don't know why i'm bobbing my head for you to tell

then put wade's head on his head that's great that's great um that's the episode congratulations mark bob one day luck will favor you because oh my god was it on your side until somehow three coin flips led to that that's a tough one

i guess stay tuned for the next one where mark will host and let us do something fun and fair and easy, I'm sure.

You can find everybody at their respective channels.
