Good evening, gentle listener or watcher, and welcome to Distractible.

Sihit Edisoppi.

Bandaged Bob asks about first aid, then invents an inverted spelling bee.

Wistful Wade gets cut up and Vaselined.

Grows new nipples, says Molly, then spouts abject bollocks.

Married Mark finally ties the knot.

Well done.

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.

Hello 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.

Huh?

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?

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 Distractible.

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 we'll forget about completely.

But 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 are 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 got to really want that stuff.

You got to be there.

You don't even have to get there on time.

You have to already be there if you want merch.

Yeah, pretty much.

That's the way this works.

Yep, pretty much.

And also, Wade is here.

It means nothing that you're second Wade.

You're just as important.

I wasn't reading into it until you said that.

Now I'm thinking about it a little bit.

I'm Wade and Friends from that hit YouTube channel, Markiplier.

You me too.

You've never heard of HIT?

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 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.

That has to be a compliment.

The friend's so nice, you friended twice.

Do you remember one of the PAXs, 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 you know, Mark walked through, and then the two guys, like, 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 and friends of the panel.

That was a while ago now, but that was pretty funny.

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 oh 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 do we go to johnny rockets wasn't that at the hotel in uh omaha when we were putting together the show johnny rockets no that's a little niner 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 like the diner, and then we ate lunch at Country Music Star's 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.

Yeah, 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?

Let's go.

I do.

I do.

And if I don't talk about it, people are going to explode.

Oh.

I got a little bit.

I think Wade should go first.

Oh.

Oh, no, no, no.

You know, on that note, Mark, go ahead.

How could I possibly?

No, 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.

I'd just say it like that.

I'm married now.

All right, look, that's just the way I talk, man.

Two, I believe her name is Amy.

I'm pretty sure.

God, I hope

that's right.

So I got to talk about the funny thing about this because, you know, I haven't been keeping this hidden at all.

I gesticulate with my hands.

So it's like I've been wearing it

and probably people are confused because I was confused as to why only the girl gets an engagement ring.

So I said to Amy, that's not very fair.

So she got me this

soon after I proposed.

And then

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 had noticed, but it was like, it was there.

And it happened the exact same day within like an hour of each other.

It was not intentional.

It was not like a, ooh, we're so secretive.

It was not a sneak peek.

We both just happened to mess up on the same day.

And 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 want to save that because I'm going to do a video with Amy to talk about that.

Selfish.

Oh, yeah, that content's going to be, oh, I'm going to be milking this.

I'm going to be milking this for a long time.

No, I, yeah, I, 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 AI.

Look at his his hands they're all

all of the theories and all of the stuff it was very fun good job internet but uh yes it is true i mean i posted on instagram if people were still like i don't know

i think this is just an anniversary post

yeah that's a very cool anniversary party they're clearly at

yes very true very true yeah and they caught 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.

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.

At least I don't know.

That was a long time ago that it had over two million.

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 gonna.

I just assume.

Yeah, don't.

Everybody go find Mama Plyer's post and give it more likes.

Yeah, someone on distractible 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 use 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 going to melt into a ball of lava?

Probably, yeah.

I would assume so.

I hope so, actually.

That'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 was shocked that you didn't leak it.

You know, every fact, I can't believe Wade didn't leak this.

Well, this time I actually knew about it, asshole.

Last time I leaked something, it was a joke because I didn't know it was a thing.

I see, I see.

No, there was a post on Twitter by like Dexerto 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.

No one did.

Despite some people's best efforts,

not intentional, but some people.

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 doing on?

Nothing, but I'm doing stuff.

I'm about 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.

Every week.

I mark my weeks by when he's in town and not in town.

But no, I was glad no one leaked it.

For me, I've got a nice little band-aid on my neck from going to the dermatologist and they decided to cut me up a little bit.

Falling apart, man.

Funny mole.

Well, so it was actually me who requested they shave it off because 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.

And 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 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 bandaged, 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.

Good evening.

I don't feel limited at all.

I thought I had something else to add about it, but 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 haven't done a good job of keeping it clean.

Molly's helped me keep it the Vaseline and Bandaid on because I cannot for the life of me see that spot.

It's like in the one spot I cannot see unless I like held a mirror, but you need both hands to do bandage thing.

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.

Hasn't hurt me.

Why is that scary?

You think she's going to 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?

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.

And then coming out of it, I was able to do self-care.

You were just healed by the time you woke up?

Well, no, but 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.

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 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 for, I guess, more sticky.

Do I do we got to explain surface area to you, man?

Yeah, would you like an explanation of how that works?

No, 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 band-aid, it's small, 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, it'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.

Adhesed, great word.

I think I find that very fun word.

Number two, why don't they make a bandage that is not a gauze pad, but is like a layer, a curved dome of gelatin, right?

It's like whatever the Neosporin has made of, but a harder version of it.

So that when 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 banded.

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 adhesed

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.

Don't you want airflow?

Like, I 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 and I would take a big handful of a warp all over my wounds.

Hurt like hell because I would rip off the skin every time.

But over time, the underlayer 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 scar 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 up.

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.

Here's an experiment.

Wade, we're going to cut off your hand.

We'll cut off both hands.

We need a control.

You need both hands, either one and the other.

Your left hand, we're going to tie a bucket of goop to, and you'll keep that in the goop bucket.

It's not Resident Evil, dude.

You can't just goop my hands.

The other one, we're going to put a blow dryer on.

We're going to dry that bad boy out.

It won't just grow back.

Yeah, well, you know, they might.

It won't.

How will we know until we try?

So I don't think my hand will adhes to my wrist if it's completely severed.

No, we'll adhes 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.

Well, 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.

Okay, I don't know.

This is gonna sound weird.

Putting a pig bladder on

some guy cut his finger off or something.

He put pig bladder on a grew back.

Okay, I just heard that story for the first time now.

So go ahead.

No, I'm not lying.

Wait, pig bladder finger grow back.

Pig bladder finger.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, there's some.

It's not just pure pigbladder.

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, 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 bit more of a gap and some play, but then 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.

Lot twist, neither.

Whoa, we've talked about this before.

Holy shit, I looked up pig bladder finger growback.

There's a post on the distractible subreddit four years ago,

Biomedical engineering PhD here, which was my degree.

So you think you're better than me?

Yeah, because they actually got it.

And I wasn't even going to get a PhD.

So

please don't chop off your finger and rub pig bladder powder on it.

It won't grow back.

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.

Maybe four years ago.

I know you never remember anything.

Well, 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 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.

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,

now what do we talk about?

We've relived our three memories.

Well, 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 got to make new stories, man.

That's why I've got so many new stories.

Got to keep living.

L-I-V-I-N, man.

I don't know what that spells.

Living.

I learned a whole word language.

I don't know what you just said.

I had to think about it longer than I like to admit.

Somehow, that's the second time we've talked about pigbladder finger regrowth.

So that's kind of impressive.

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 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 another less fun thing.

Last week we both fell downstairs.

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 and was like, that sucks.

Why'd I do that?

I knew that step was there.

A few nights.

Bob, were you in the call whenever I got the text from?

Yeah, we were playing Battlefield because that has recently come out and you got a very scary text that was like really ominous and concerning.

Yeah,

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 going to say that.

It'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, is anything like, can you feel everything?

Like, you know, I'm not a doctor, but I was trying to make sure I wasn't going to 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 I'd 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.

Got to 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 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.

We're both getting getting older and apparently a 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, oh, wow, look at that.

Oh, 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...

Guess 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 never, it's more like, oh, our whole family was together for my birthday.

And I know never thought to take a single picture.

If Mandy fell, I would not, after the fact, be like, God, 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 had.

There's tons of people that just like, okay, my mom.

She's pretty aggressive.

My mom, yeah.

Very, very on top of the whole documenting and uploading everything.

We came over for that like in-person chicken and dumplings day recording.

I remember like I just walked in the door and she was there there with a camera and I was like, hey, how are you?

Yeah.

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 like get you in the car and get you to the hospital and not that would 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.

What if it wasn't you?

What if it was like a neighbor?

Wait, a neighbor was joking?

Yeah, if a neighbor, would she, 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 there's, I'm not saying for her, okay, I am saying her specifically in 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.

And like pull out their photos.

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 and she's just like, oh my God.

And the guy's like, hey, hey, can you?

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 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 share 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 close to it.

So 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.

Good episode.

Oh, I have a game.

Would you guys want to play a game?

Yeah.

We all need that sometimes.

Uh, Mark 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 Learners 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 3000 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.

Wade, 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, 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 list.

You can look at the list as much as you want, 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 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?

You can try and do that.

I sort of imagine this as just you have to try and figure out a way to say the word backwards that will lead the person down the path.

Do you want them to get the word or not?

i just want to watch uh you

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 succeed but also if we 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 now if you can

Mummonim.

Mumminim.

Mumminim.

Mummonim.

Mumminim.

Minimum.

Nice.

Am I allowed to tell him yet?

Yeah, 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 sent you your first word.

Eel Ray.

Eel Ray?

Eel Ray.

Yarley?

You know, you have to pick from actual words.

Eel Ray.

Eel Ray.

Yarly.

Yeah, you got him.

Let's say you get three guesses.

So don't waste them, but you can, you couldn't, you couldn't have more than one.

Work Work it out.

Sound it out.

Sound it out.

Okay, here's my brain.

Eel Ray.

Honestly, I think Mark did a really good job on this one.

I'm just going to.

Ray, R-A-Y, or Eel Ray.

Or maybe it just needs to be a time.

The Ray is kidding me.

Ray is R-A-Y, right?

Let's just say a Ray is not always spelled R-A-Y.

How about that?

I'll give you that.

Early.

Early?

Ah!

Oh!

Should I I say if it is?

I should or should I not react until no, no, you can react if he's if he's right.

That's we know what we're we know, words.

I trust you guys to know words.

I couldn't get Ray out of my head as being R-A-Y.

I was like, ah, R-A-E would also be Ray, and then you'd have Earl.

But I was like, no, L-Y, eel, but I guess it kind of would be Yol or Eel.

Yeah.

All right, wait, I sent you

the next word.

I'm sorry, Mark.

What do you mean?

Why?

Why are you sorry?

Takepsa.

One more sign.

Tekepsa.

Takepsa.

Takepsa.

Takepsa.

Takepsa.

Takepsa.

You sure?

Yeah.

Saw?

Marinating?

Tekepsa.

Takepsa?

Takepsa.

A

pot sock.

No.

Apatkos.

I was thinking it was like a U T at the end, so I was like, okay, all right, ta.

But like, ah, makes it sound like it starts with an H, so I was like, I can't really do Takepsa, so it's like Tekepsa.

How do I get you to the A?

All right, okay, all right, okay.

I really didn't anticipate, I thought saying them backwards would be kind of like,

like, how it's funny.

But Wade, what Wade said sounded like a word, and then Mark was like,

Mark saying the actual word forward sounded like the backwards.

Anyway, Mark, I sent you your second word.

Man, I like my, I like, 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 it.

Don't worry, man.

We're great at it.

See, I can visualize the letters in my head and then flip them around.

I've got a unique advantage in this.

Wait, I sent you your third word.

What the fuck?

I got this.

I don't.

You got it, buddy.

I believe in you.

Literally, Mark, like one of your earliest guesses, guesses, like your third guess was friended.

And we were both like,

oh, my ship.

You literally went, friended ship.

Oh, fuck.

That was so good.

It was crazy how you say friended ship.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Oh, fuck.

I can't believe you got there, but you did it, man.

That was beautiful.

Look at that word backwards, man.

To get the connection, it's like you're.

What did you do for friendship?

His denir fist denier.

All right.

Wait, one more.

Oh, shit.

Oh, it's not that bad.

It's not that bad.

Calm down.

Why does he get the hard ones?

Why do I have him to get the hard ones?

Eli Huename.

He has had two syllables for every one of these.

I get Elijah.

Elihu name?

I'll give it to you, Mark.

It's a two-syllable word forward.

It's clearly for Eliju

marijuana.

I wish.

I will say, Wade, I think you're throwing Mark under the bus a little bit with that.

Elijah.

Elihu name.

Elio

name.

What?

Elio.

Name.

Elio.

To some Chinese words get snuck into the top 3,000 American English dictionary that I didn't know about?

Elio name.

Are you sure?

Elio

name.

Elio.

You're adding syllables to this, man.

That's only the second half of it.

I just can't not phlegm.

Elio name.

Where'd the quaggo?

It's gone.

What the fuck?

Why is it there in the first place?

Because I'm trying my best.

My best isn't very good.

Try less hard.

Eliu.

Elio name.

Name.

Okay.

Name.

Name.

Name.

Emmanuel.

Emmanuel.

Ugh.

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 bits to this that are making it complicated.

Eliu

Wally.

Wally

Wally.

Eliu Naim.

Naim.

Naim.

Naeem.

Naeem.

Naim.

Naim.

Eliu naim.

Naim.

Naeim.

Mianauli.

Naim.

Mian oli.

Naeem.

Naim?

Naim.

Naim man!

What do you want from me?

I'm gonna 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.

Nile main.

No, wait.

God, this is so hard.

Lyle name.

This is so hard.

Thanks for acknowledging that.

Name, man.

Lyle.

Elau name

you.

I got it.

Lyle name.

Lyu name manu isle.

Manual.

That's what it is.

Lyle name at the hall of justice.

What?

Lyle name at the hall of justice.

There's no way.

There's no way that's meanwhile.

Meanwhile?

Alright, how would you say meanwhile?

How would you say meanwhile, genius?

Meanwhile?

Fucking meanwhile.

Manual is close.

Literally, when you were sounding it out, you were all living.

Meanwhile.

Meanwhile,

lying.

Oh, fuck you, right?

So I was the difference between Bob and I, I pronounced the E, E-Lile.

Ah, yeah, okay.

All right, okay, guys.

I see now, I get it.

All right, fine.

That was just throwing him off, I think.

But I had to let him know it was there.

No, it doesn't matter if it's who.

Where'd the hwa come from when you started that way?

There was a hua there.

Do HW, so I was doing W-H.

Your first one was like, Elihuanem.

Elihwanam.

Mark, you wanted a longer one, so here you go.

Oh, no, no, no.

Yes, yes, yes.

Senku.

Senku?

Sen

Ku.

You know, Mark Rice is a good point.

How do you pronounce diphthongs backwards?

Who knows?

I love diphthongs.

Sen K.

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.

Oh, that's the thing.

Kau,

Kau, Kau, Kau, Kau, Sen, Kau, Kau, Kau, U, U Acnis.

Getting the U from Senkeu.

Sen Ku.

I thought what the fuck do you think we're getting the U from?

Where are you getting the fucking U from?

It's clearly Senke.

Sinka Yu.

Sen Kau.

K you

K U K U.

Yeah, is that how you pronounce a U?

Uh

ooh Agnes

Sen

K.

You get so quiet, I can't hear the last part.

Sen

Ku.

Alright, well, you know what I'm saying, so I don't know what your problem is.

Sen

ku.

Sen ku, sen ka you.

Sen kyu!

Just start saying it.

The other you were working on it.

Sen kyu, sen kyu.

E-u.

young

Can you think of a word, Wade?

Any word

you you

oo oo ugni ugni wink?

I'm giving you such a good clue.

Senki

I do feel like Vark is pretty, pretty on it for this one.

Yeah, you do every time, man.

I gotta say, Wade, when you were working on just getting it, saying it forward and trying stuff,

there were one or two in there.

Getting pretty close.

Uick, uick, uick, uick.

Uick.

Quick, quickness.

Have to QU, the wickness.

I wanna just count that.

I wanna just count that.

Do you know any words that sound kind of like that or anything in the ballpark?

Wokeness.

No!

Ooh, ooh, walkness.

Walkness.

Wickness.

What?

Fuck you, man!

You

Don't hear me!

Fuck you!

Where you get walk!

Weakness!

Do you know what you said?

Weakness!

Weakness!

He doesn't know what he said!

I don't know what he 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 ooh come from?

You

weak.

There wasn't an ooh saying K you.

K you.

I got stuck on the ooh.

You did what Mark did the one time, except so much better.

You were literally like, weakness.

Weak, wickness.

Weak, wick, wookness.

I got wookness instead of weakness.

Give him a huge one.

I got it.

Give him a big one.

I was stuck with the the O's.

I couldn't get off the O's.

Yeah, I want four syllables.

Come on.

Good.

Hit me.

I'm closing the list.

I don't need a list of words.

I don't need them.

Revere.

It doesn't have to be fast, man.

Famous historian Hoo-Hoo Revere.

I remember when he was riding his horse through town.

The British or Ingnok.

Ingmok.

The British Ring Mock.

Alright, one more time.

Hit me.

Revere Hua.

It changes every time.

That doesn't help me, man.

Revere, Hua.

Revere or Hua.

You're gonna change it?

Revere Hua.

It's easy.

He changed it.

He changed it.

It depends which

accent you prefer.

I mean, it depends.

That was completely different pronunciations.

All right, pick one.

Revere hua.

Revere hua.

Not hua.

Hua.

Ua.

What did you what was your first try?

River

okay, one more time.

Revere, hua, or ooah?

Hua.

That was two different things.

He just said two different things right there.

Revere.

Revere, hua.

Huh, wa.

Oh, wa.

Okay, revere, hua.

Oh,

revere.

That wasn't a fucking word.

What are you talking about?

And you didn't say it like a ghost.

When you're the one in the chair, it does not sound like it.

Revir.

Oh, wa, rev.

What the fuck are we just saying?

Okay, I'm saying.

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

Ho-wah, oh-wah.

So you should say the opposite of ho-wa.

Ho-wa-o-wa.

I am.

Okay.

What do you mean?

That is!

You go, ho-wah, and o-wa.

You're doing great.

You're doing great.

Oh, my God.

The eye-roll.

Revere!

Ho-wah-oh-a.

That's- that's- that's play it in reverse.

Editors, I'm saying the same thing.

Ho-wah, wah-ho-ho-ho-ho-wah-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-whoa-ho-who.

It's the same word.

Revere, revere, revere.

It's two palindromes inside the same word.

It's river, revere, river, river, river, river.

Hoah, river.

Oh, wa, river.

Oh, wow, river.

That's not a word.

I know many words.

This is not a word.

Oh, oh, river.

He's still like Johnny Prophet.

Oh, river.

Oh,

river.

Say the first part faster.

But all in one thing, all in one go, just say the first part faster.

Oba river.

Oh, a river.

Oh, wa-river.

Oh, river.

Oh, river.

Oh, river.

Oh, what?

Lose the first uh.

Why?

Wa river?

War River.

Uh-huh.

Wherever?

It's wherever.

Yes, I am.

Why did you go home?

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

This is getting heated.

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

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.

What the?

Oh, no.

I will say, this was on a part of my thing, a separate list I made called, haha, what imagine, though.

Okay, this might be so specific, I think you can get away.

Ziggolokisp.

Oh, wait.

Oh, fuck.

Wait.

Hold on.

I gotta change it.

Ziggolox.

Zigglocks.

Ziggols.

Ziggolox.

Why are you like French Dracula, dude?

What the fuck?

That's what it is.

Ziggolochist.

Ziggler.

Ziggolok isp.

Sorry.

Forget that.

Ziggolkis.

Ziggalochis.

Zigolocis.

Ziggalocis.

Sigolochist.

Sigolocis.

Close enough.

That could get you there.

Now just reverse it.

Zigalocis.

Sigalocis.

You're just saying it backwards, though.

You need to reverse it, Wade.

You're the one who flips it.

Sicologis.

Sicologis.

I think you got it.

I'll take the point.

Sigolocus.

Think about it.

Work on it.

Sicologis.

psycho, psychologis, sick, psychologis, sig, sick, come on, man,

sig, sigolo,

kais,

sigolo, kais,

psychologic,

psychological, psycho,

kis, come on, come on, come on, see,

see,

see,

psycho, psychologist, psychologist,

oh my god, it's psychologist.

I don't know why I read it with a P initially.

I realized that that was very wrong, but yeah.

I just don't know why you sounded like French Dracula.

See your loges.

I don't know why you would question it.

I was getting into character.

backwards is hard, right?

Backwards is hard.

So, I'm going to give you more opportunities to communicate.

We're just going to do one word each for one final round.

I call this one hotter or colder.

I'm going to give you a word.

Wade's going to go first.

I'm going to give you a word.

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.

All right.

I'm ready.

All right.

All right.

Wade, 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.

Pick one word and then pick a second word and Wade just gives you hotter or colder and you keep guessing and Wade keeps telling you hotter or colder.

Banana.

Bicycle.

Colder.

I already like this.

I'm just going to enjoy.

Go ahead.

Pineapple?

Colder?

Plutonium.

Colder.

Tree.

Warmer.

Okay, what did I say before?

Banana?

Tree.

Oh, always from the first word?

Oh, no.

That's how I was doing it.

If it's colder, right?

Then it's like, oh, don't go that way.

So I'm assuming if he tells you colder, it's like, okay, back to banana.

Yeah, that's what I was doing.

All right, banana is my North Star.

So banana is your basis.

Banana, tree.

Tree is warmer.

Tree.

So now, like, tree is home base.

And now let's find a direction.

You guys definitely are approaching this in two very different ways.

Okay, all right, okay, all right, okay.

All right, okay, all right.

Car.

Cold, sir.

He dislikes boats.

Don't worry too much into that.

That tune, colder?

Look through the

list.

You'll find it in those 3,000 words.

Contemporary.

No, colder.

Dangerous.

Warmer?

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,

colder.

You know, Appalachian banana trauma.

Yeah.

Mark, just think about how we got here.

Banana, tree, trauma.

Tarantula, fuck.

Appalachia, mountain.

Injury.

Danger.

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.

Man, I'm having a tough one with this.

I'm getting there.

It is supposed to be hard.

Just danger to enemy, right?

Warmer.

I get one word, right?

It's one word.

Okay.

Uh, bear.

That's it.

It's bear.

Oh!

Early on, you start with bees, and I was like, man, I like the letter B, but

I see the path.

Where does fuck play it?

I guess you see a bear, you go, fuck!

Well, also, bears kind of fuck, whereas tarantulas didn't.

So I was like, well, no, tarantulas, they 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?

Because you were going like sound and stuff.

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 B's.

I just decided earlier, I was like, banana is a living thing.

Maybe we can just stick with living things.

Okay, once we were on the same page, maybe we should go with that.

Like, it should be just the meaning.

Cause 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 it was too late for me to change strategies at that point.

I'm willing to try one for you.

I will do it.

I bet it's 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.

Profession.

Neutral.

Colder.

Female.

Colder.

Location.

Colder.

Parent.

Colder.

Mammal?

Technically colder, but you know.

Just out of, we're not, these aren't proper nouns.

I'm not going to start guessing specific people, right?

I don't know if we can answer that.

Okay.

Relative?

No.

For weight guessing, colder.

Adult?

Warmer.

Couple?

Colder.

I may have led you astray with one of these.

I thought you were on a different path, but I was like, sideburn.

Here, let me retroactively, let me back you up a step.

Let's go back a few.

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.

Okay.

I don't even know where I'm trying to go.

I'm just trying to hone in on something here.

Man, you were holding.

You were so, it was like a laser coming right for it at first, and then man,

muscle

warmer if it helps you, colder if it doesn't.

You know where I'm trying to go, I don't.

Strength, oh, swarmer,

toughness, warmer, grit, warmer.

What do you say?

Are they for this?

Um, uh, giga chad,

warmer,

on fire, warm, warm, warm, warm.

Oh, fuck.

What's the word for it?

Oh, no.

Alpha.

Warmer.

That word that's higher than alpha sigma.

Oh, red hot.

Uh, asshole.

Oh, burning.

You're burning up.

Warmer.

Dickhead.

Warmer, you're burning up.

Uh, douche.

Oh,

so close!

Douchebag.

Warm.

Oh, my God, you're just just burning!

I'll kind of keep getting warmer at this point without getting worse.

Oh, you've got this, buddy!

What do all those things describe?

Oh boy!

Oh!

Man, oh man.

Oh, I was trying to avoid the proper nouns.

I know, I know, I realized that, but you were just like, duh!

Person, people, person, oh, shit, female.

I was like, oh, you gotta guess male next.

Male.

Okay, okay.

When you said colder there, I was like, okay, it probably isn't a male, female.

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.

How's the scores shaking?

Oh, there's so many scores.

Uh, Mark, you earned points for,

I believe her name is Amy.

Uh, beat your mom on social media.

Uh, Pig Bladder Fingers, we're getting older, early, Apple, Invent, Weakness, Psychologist, and Mark.

Wait, 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.

Three.

All right.

Three wheel spins.

Um, oh, you know what?

I didn't think about what I'm going to add to the mystical wheel points.

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 going to.

Well,

I'm I am so there.

Did you lose points?

Oh, I thought it was most tabs open.

I thought I swore he was gonna lose.

I was like, Club is hardware.

Did you lose a point for that?

Nobody lost any points.

I'm so sorry, Mark.

I am so there.

It looked like it was most unrelated tabs open.

Yeah.

All right.

Said fuck the most.

I said fuck.

I said fuck.

I got the fuck word.

Dumb.

I said it.

Yeah.

All right.

Mark gets the first bonus point for saying fuck the most.

All right.

Yeah.

Least points.

That's me.

Oh, that'd be Wade.

Damn it.

Oh, back down by one.

Here comes the tie.

We don't have to do that.

Don't call it a Batcum.

I won't.

I would never call anything that except Batcum.

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?

A half point, I think.

Yeah.

Yeah, we have done repeats.

That's true.

It's on the wheel, man.

I don't, 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 to 10.

Good thing you swear so much, Mark.

Thank you.

I know.

Would you like to give us a fucking winner speech?

What a fucking day.

My 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.

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 like trying to think what Mark was trying to say backwards.

Overall, a good time.

That's a fun game, and it's a 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 with like, okay, if I flip it, I can say it immediately get it, or if you pronounce each letter so they know the letters.

That's the way I was going.

I was pronouncing each letter like, okay, he knows it ends in an E, because I,

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 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 uh this is another absolute banger from the mind of mandy that was mandy's idea and

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.

Master of words.
