Anything Goes (Part 3)

This episode is brought to you by Facebook. You know, when you get that gift that is just like so you, it's perfect.
You feel seen, heard, smelt even? Especially when it's a secret Santa gift.

Like, how did Jack from Accounting know that I collect vintage action figures? How do I? That's almost creepy, but actually, it's just impressive and sweet.

You know, on Facebook, a little connection goes a long way. You mean Facebook Marketplace?

Because all of my gifts that I got, you guys, are from other people that I found on Facebook Marketplace and the incredible deals that I got from them.

I made my own secret Santa group so I could gift things to myself. And I have been shopping on Facebook Marketplace since you guys mentioned it.
And boy, oh boy, the amount of things I can get for me.

There are so many things. Everything is here.
On Facebook, True Connection is only a click away. Let's reconnect this holiday season with Facebook and turn polite presents into meaningful moments.

This episode is brought to you by Panda Express. If someone wanted to tell me that they love me, all they would need to do is get me some honey walnut shrimp from Panda Express.

If you're trying to get a message to me, honey walnut shrimp. However, you want to say it, say it with delicious, authentically cooked American Chinese cuisine from Panda Express.

It's time for

Anything Goes, Part 3.

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

Welcome to Distractable!

The only show you'll ever need because we killed all the others ones!

We killed them dead. We snuck into their apartments and now those shows don't exist anymore.
Yeah, we killed all those others ones. Metaphorically, of course.
By being so good?

What, you mean that episode where we insulted them all? Finally worked? Yes, they're all gone.

Good.

Yes, and now people only have us.

Well, you know, I don't know if the world would be a better place if we were the only podcast in the world, but I know it wouldn't be a worse place. Well.

Hey, his point is arguable. His point is arguable.
It's up to you if you want to argue it, though. No, I choose not to, but it's arguable.
No, it's raining out. I'm too tired today.

Given that it's the podcapocalypse.

Podcapocalypse. Pod Castopolipse?

Pod Catholics. Nope, that's not it.
Pod Catholics, yeah. Pod Catholics.
Given that it's the pod Catholics.

I forget my point I was going to make. I was going to say something clever and woody after that.
I think I just rubbed bacon grease into my eye. I was eating bacon.

Oh, dude, is that a new skincare routine? For your eye skin? What do you keep at your desk? Mr. Klee and bacon? No, I mean, I ate the bacon, but I didn't exactly wash my hands since that moment.

So that doesn't sing. I'm fine.
Oh, we can make some gravy in those peepers. My name is Mark Blair.
I'm going to be the host today. I've got my scoreboard and I've got an episode idea.

And the people that I'm going to subject to my whims is these guys. Bob.
And Wade. That's us, baby.
Yeah, only one of them is going to see the end of this episode.

Well, I never watch our episode, so it'll probably be wait, I guess. Am I representing the listeners again?

But I can only hear the end. We represent the listeners killed.

It's going to be stuck in my head now. You did it.
I don't take credit for that. Dude, I just got Pink Pony Club out of my head after the last like four days.
I needed something else. This is fine.

Is it Scary Movie 3 where they're like... The killer videotape from the ring.
They're like, we're playing it all day. Here it is again.
They just keep playing the ring tape on repeat.

I don't remember accurately enough to know, but no Shizzle Gizengar. Never mind.
Look, Scary Movie 3 was a really, really funny movie. It shouldn't have been that funny.
No.

For being the third in the franchise and completely different directors. Third movies are often the best.
Godfather Part 3, you know, The Matrix

Revolutions. What's that one called? It's the third one called? Reload, revised.
Frozen 3. I'm melting.

Oh, that was pretty good. That was pretty good.
All right. Small talk.

Man, it's been, it's, I don't want to date this episode too hard, but it is coming out the day after American Thanksgiving. I don't know if you can tell.
I'm pretty sick. I did not sleep last night.

I'm feeling great. And guests arrive at our house, which we moved into less than two weeks ago for Thanksgiving in approximately 30 hours.
Totally ready.

We have done all the grocery shopping and stuff, and we have a plan, but like, I got a little sick over the weekend, and I was like, all right, I'm on the other side.

And then yesterday night, I just had a pretty miserable night. It's not the flu or anything.

I took one of them nose tests, but boy, do I love getting sick right before hosting a house full of people I'm supposed to cook for.

Do you have a moral responsibility to not host those people if you're sick? Because you could get them sick.

Possibly. I'm definitely at the point now where I don't.

It's just a cold. I don't.
I took a COVID flu test. It's none of those things.
And I'm like on, I'm actually on the back side of it today and it's going away. But I honestly don't know.

The thing is, we're kind of, it's all family. And even if I told everyone, like, hey, I'm sick.
I have a cold. So like, you know, it's up to you if you want to come.

Pretty sure they would all just come. Anyway, I'm pretty sure they don't.
They're not concerned about it and they'd rather just hang out. I wouldn't.
Pending menu. Thanksgiving food.

What do you mean pending menu? I'd be there. Turkey, stuffing.
You familiar? I've heard of it. Anyway, that's all that's been going on.

Okay, I gave you a point for being a plague bearer yeah i'm patient zero if our entire family's wiped out in uh two weeks it's probably me probably whatever i had i'm actually calling you plague host because well i guess you're not the host but plague host sounds cool and it sounds like a plague ghost so there's multiple ways that you could have fun with that one it sounds like premeditated scripted winning to me can i request to be called the original plague boy no

wade you may be the original plague boy thank you i'm not sick if you so choose you better get sick if you're going to take that moniker. I'll try.
I'll try. So you're sick voice? No, it's me.

Very sick boy.

Hello. It's me.
You're very sick. Oh, man.
I forgot that's what happens when Wade gets sick. I hate it.
Oh, man. No, I just have bad allergies.
That's not

been good. I'm not done a whole lot.
I've worked a lot. Played some really great games.
I was talking to Mark about all these great games he should try, but he's, you know, busy or something.

I watched Gen V Season 2. I started watching Welcome to Dairy.
So I've caught up on a little bit of shows the last couple days. What is Gen V season two? Am I supposed to know what that is?

So the boys, the superhero show that's like real crazy, they have a spin-off called Generation V or Gen V. That's the juice they drink that makes them all super deduper, right?

It is exactly the juice that they drink that makes them all super deduper. I watched Gen V Season 2, which I've been trying to watch for like a couple months and just haven't had time.

Caught up on that. Started watching Welcome to Dairy, but not all of that's out yet.
That's the Pennywise It show. I do actually know that one.
I think Stranger Things Season 5 comes out this week.

And then Fallout Season 2 is coming out soon. I want to watch those as well.
So I've got a lot of shows I want to watch. I watched The Boys for a little bit.

And then, all right, I know people probably have made this commentary a thousand times, but it just seems like the people that make that show just want to make

the grossest shit possibly. It is actually the grossest shit on the screen.
Because I got to that episode. And all right, spoiler and/or sensor warning.
Skip ahead.

It's where the one that can shrink goes into. Do you know? Oh, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

You mean the thing that everyone always theorized Ant-Man totally should do, but Marvel would never allow? Well, he went in the front, didn't he? He was a pipe cleaner.

I got to there, and I was like, that's enough of this show for me.

I'm okay.

I'm just all right.

Oh, don't worry. Gen V Season 2 has its own take on something similar.
Oh, good. Yeah, if they were so good the first time, that's going to get him to watch it.
I'm going to call you The Watcher.

Thank you.

I know that character from Marvel's What If, which I've not seen the last like season or two of that, but I don't, I kind of like binge shows.

I'll watch a bunch of shows for like three days, catch up, be done, and then I'll go the rest of the year, be like, oh, there's all these shows I want to watch.

And then like just one random week of the year, I'm like, you know what? This week, I catch up on shows. I haven't done that in a long time.
I hadn't.

But yesterday, I was just like, I'm taking a day and just watching stuff and being brain dead and having some brain rot. I enjoyed it.
It was nice. Well, that's good.
That's good.

And Uber knows that.

Uber isn't just a ride or a meal delivered. It's showing up no matter what.

I think that might be them knocking on the door because they're, you know, Uber's really good about getting them right to where you are. It's either them or the FBI.
I'm not 100%

Uber, on our way. Download the app today.

All right, you boys ready for an episode? Oh, I'm ready to rumble.

I already did.

So I have an idea here, and it's going to blow your minds. It's called

anything goes

part three

where we don't do shit and you guys have to go do that shit. All right.

All right man. All right.
All right. All right.
So here's here's here's the thing. We're going to flip the thing and you guys are going to

take turns. Very specifically take turns giving me any kind of information or article or things happening in the world.
Try to keep them relatively topical that that are going on.

And then I will judge its worth. Heads is Wade this time.
Because he's bald. I can see into the future that I'm going to win.
All right.

Heads.

There you go. You get the go first point.
That's okay, because

I know I have something to talk about that there's a 0% chance you're going to steal from me, Wade. I'm confident.
Excellent. Well, I've got to take this before you find it.
All right. And go.

All right. This is three weeks old.
I apologize for that, but I think it's worth. Soulja Boy's latest handhold council council consoles are out.

Soldier Game Flip and Soulja Game X now available for purchase. Game Flip? That's crazy.

We've not had a Soulja Boy update in so long. Wait, what's the difference between those? No idea, but they're both original Soulja Boy ideas, and they are for sale.
What's the price?

Oh, it didn't say on this particular page. Let me see if I can find it.
Wait, what's the Soldier Game Pro? Soldier Game Pro is 177.75, but you can get it in black, white, or blue.

Oh, yeah, yeah, there's the pro.

I see the Soulja Game Pro and the Soldier Game. Stop talking about this.
Stop talking. Stop talking about it.
You hear?

I don't know what that sound is, but I don't care for it. I don't know why it's.
I don't know why that's the sound effect.

What the fuck?

all right so the thing that people remind me that i forgot about the last anything goes is that i had a random timer and you only ever had that timer to say your entire story in so now we can no longer talk about soldier boy that has been done there is no discussion to be had and then bob will go and then bob you get a random time i've said it between one second and three minutes god i hope it's one second uh all right a podcast that i follow i think it may have i don't remember what it was.

I think it was an NPR podcast, possibly. An episode came on this week.

The new wicked movie came out, which is the second movie of a play, a musical that only, that shouldn't have been two movies, and the second act of which is barely even a thing.

And I thought it was really funny because this, if the podcast is three people and they're going to talk about it, and it's like two critics and then one other critic who's a huge wicked fan, like uses the wicked, like loves it, seen it on Broadway, loves it.

And one one of the ones who's not a huge fan of it.

Damn, that I couldn't even give you a point for that.

What was that? 28 seconds? That was 31 seconds. That was pretty close.
28 seconds later will be the sequel. All right.
So now we all know how the game goes.

You got to get your story out there quick, or else you're never going to know anything about it. I'm ready.
Put me in, coach. Okay, ready? Three, two, one, go.

Netflix announces 50 cent produced Diddy documentary series proving it's all about the Benjamins. Oh, my God.

That was the whole sentence. I didn't give the whole sentence out.
Well, there's no way he gets a point for that.

In four seconds, God. Four seconds? Sorry, man.

I don't even know what you're talking about, so I didn't give you any. Oh, I should be used to only having four seconds.
My turn? Yeah, your turn, Bob. Ready? The clock starts when I start.

Okay, in Bangkok, a woman in Thailand scared the shit out of several people when she started moving after they opened her coffin to cremate her.

She had been apparently decided to be dead, put in a coffin, and showed up at a crematorium or whatever you call it, a place where they cremate dead remains so they can be sent to the crematorium.

And they opened the coffin to get the body out, to chuck it in the furnace, and she was all, hey, wait a minute. And they were like, what the fuck do you mean? Wait a minute.
Get in the furnace.

Or something. I assume that's the exchange that they had.
Did they put her in there? The 65-year-old woman's brother drove her from her province to this temple where they do the cremation.

There's no information about how the brother got her into the coffin or if he's been arrested.

The brother had no official death certificate or anything. He was just trying to get rid of his sister, I guess.
I don't know. That was close if that was...

If they didn't know.

She's fine now. I mean, the brother's story was that that woman had been bedridden for a couple years and that her health was in very bad shape.

And he thought that she had become unresponsive and appeared to stop breathing for more than a day before he decided she was dead and tried to bring her.

And apparently he also attempted to bring her to a hospital. And the hospital was like, nah, dude.

You can't get in one. You go to the obvious next step, which is.
I guess. Okay, so he brought her to a hospital because she expressed a wish to donate her organs.

and the hospital was like we can't take random organs from this random debt that was great you got a lot of time for that one i was very responsive to the timer too i just i'm very i was being very respectful that is very good all right wade are you ready oh i'm ready should i go when you go or should i say three two one go go go and he goes give him give him the best shot all right joe burrows back for cincinnati bangles they're spitting on people they're concussed they're injured they're still better than the defense the offense is somehow still outperforming the terrible defense.

Worst defense, maybe, ever in the history of the NFL. Well, that's just not true.
Wait, who's spitting on who? Oh, Jamar Chase was spitting on a defensive back from that other team we played.

Yeah, Jalen Ramsey. At the end of the game, two weeks ago, or over a little over a week ago, recording this,

Jalen Ramsey came at Jamar Chase and threw hands and punched him. And everyone was like, what the shit?

And then like the next day, it came out that the Bengals player, Chase, had spit on him during the course of the game because they had been up on each other's business.

I don't know who started it, but that was completely unacceptable that he did that. Yeah, that's a ridiculous thing.

Honestly, football, like, pro athletes, throwing, punching someone with a helmet on in the helmet, one, stupid, break your fingers. Two, kind of like unacceptable, bad example.

But I at least understand it's heated. Like, these guys are fighting for their lives.
It gets heated. Fine.
Spitting on someone, crazy ass choice. Yeah, I don't like the spitting at all.

Pretty ashamed of of that. Pretty stupid.
You know, I should have watched what it was. I think there was another hook in the last game that I did of this.

They'll tell you, and then that can be another episode premise that we do. We'll do the perfectest anything goes.
Wasn't it the last person talking? Wasn't it like the last person talking about that?

So Jake gets the point. I think it may have been.
We definitely had an episode where whoever was talking when the timer went off got a point. I have no idea if it was anything goes.

Man, I I was so clever back then. Oh, man, what happened to me? We were younger.
Man, now I got to go pull up. Didn't we talk about that guy who stole his kid's blood or whatever?

He's getting younger. That was it.

That was it. Whoever was talking last got the point.
That's what it was. I forgot.

All right.

Everyone shut up. That was three years ago.
I can't remember what happens. That was over three years ago, actually.
Can you believe that? I don't believe how long this has been happening now.

Yeah, I i could because i don't remember anything that happened last week i was thinking about whether i wanted cheetos or cheetos puffs puffs obviously i don't know sometimes i like the extra crunch i do yeah see that's the thing i like both you know mandy has it worked out though you know what it is you have to get cheetos puffs and then regular flaming hot cheetos and you you consume them together in a mix because then you get the puffs and the crunch whether you get the regular and the spicy and you can mix and match is this your topic should i have sort of the timer uh i mean it can be All right.

So, to clarify for everyone that's very confused in how this episode is going, because clearly rules only applied three years ago, the way this game works is I have a timer that's a random time, and it's not just get the topic in, it's whoever's talking last gets the point.

So, I'm going to drop the time down to two minutes, which I believe is what I had before. And it's still one second to two minutes.
So, now there's two minutes or any random time in between.

And the last person talking goes first.

Reminds me of the munchies where you had like the pretzels and fun chips and taritas. I always thought those did not live up to the name.
I get what they're going for, but it needs to be like...

I like them. They were my dinner sometimes when I worked at UDF.
It needs to be like way better if it's going to be called the Munchies. It's really not any more special than just like a Chex mix.

It's just other Chex. Like it's fine.
It's good. It's fine.
It's good to me, but I am the blandest person I know. Yeah, you don't even like flavor on your food.

Bob wins that point. Good job, Bob.
I don't know what that was about. Cheetos?

Yeah, Mandy's Cheetos. All right, cool.
Well, good job, Bob. You introduced it and you got the point there.
Wade, go. Oh, oh, man, I was ready.
Twitch.

Oh, Twitch makes me so mad and happy, depending on the day. Happy on payday, mad the rest of the month.
That's a bad spread.

Why are you so mad at me? Bob wins! Good job, Bob. You win.
I have a reason to tell you about, but man, I won't tell you. You'll never know

It's okay. I have a good one locked and loaded.
All right, you ready? You better be because the timer started.

A Missouri judge who wore an Elvis Presley wig in his courtroom and played the singer's music from his phone during court proceedings has agreed to a deal that will cut his career on the bench to an end.

He is going to step down. Judge Matthew Thornhill, who is a judge in suburban St.

Louis, faces a six-month unpaid suspension and he will resign after a disciplinary hearing where they had to discuss discuss his Elvis in impersonation during court proceedings.

So he was actually Elvis. He was sitting on the bench, and

the defense attorney would be like, Objection, Your Honor, and he'd be like, oh, what does Elvis sound like?

I remember the classic Elvis.

Elvis stuff, you know?

The jailhouse rock. Blue suede shoes and whatever.

Hound dog.

I can't imagine a context in which this makes even the slightest bit of sense, but

what would you do if you were in court and your judge was just like an Elvis or was, you know, whatever. I don't know.
Wait, the judge was Elvis? I thought it was one of the other. It's the judge.

No, this is the judge. This is the judge of the court.
Bob gets the point.

Oh, that laugh almost got you in there, Wade. That chuckle would have counted.
There is a little thing called guilty. You're going to prison.
I mean, pretty much, I would have concerns as a defendant.

I mean, we can't talk about it. I'm not talking about it.
Yeah, that topic is over and dead. Wade, are you ready? Oh, I'm ready.

A prisoner in Australia is challenging the state's ban on inmates eating Vegemite, claiming that it is his human right to enjoy Vegemite. Vegemite, that's the right word.
Yes.

Okay, I confuse that with Vagicil sometimes, which is weird to say out loud, but my brain does. Why would you need to know what Vagicil is for any reason?

In case I ever go to prison, I need to have my human right to Vagicil. Vegemite.
Which one are we talking about? Vegemite. You brought up the topic.

I just didn't know there was a human right to Vegemite. I'm going to get you a tub, a tub of Vegemite and a tub of Vegisil.

All right. Great Vegemite.
Vagicil topic.

Darn you, Bob. We're talking in a normal human cadence.
Vegacil. I'm just having a conversation.
There was so much more to this article. We'll never know.
Vegacil? Yeah, Vegisil.

You get get the Vegasil point. But I'm trying to write down who brought it up and then draw an arrow to who gets the actual point.
It's like, do you remember Hinna and Hentai? I used to confuse those.

It's the same thing. I remember how you told a bunch of fans, including relatively young-ish fans, that you were getting a hentai tattoo.
Yes. Yeah, they were with their parents at a convention.

It's like, oh, loser gets a hentai tattoo. You guys should come watch.

God. Yeah, I remember that.
That was a good day. That was very funny.
You did it a lot. You did it multiple times.
That's that like after-the-fact embarrassment I still get thinking about it. I

don't like it. All right, we're good.
Yay! I didn't know what the topic was. All right, that's going to Wade there.
Bob, good topic on the henna. Wade, you didn't bring that up.

That was kind of an equal contribution topic, really. It was your turn.
I'm going to change the alarm. It's too abrasive.
I want cheery.

That's awful.

I think we're starting a children's cartoon.

That's a bit better. Ooh.
Okay, everybody ready? Whose topic is it? Wade, just your topic. Go.

Oh, there's a motorist in North Carolina who told 911 they had a bald eagle drop a cat through their windshield. That's kind of a crazy experience, wouldn't it be?

I question how you could know that so specifically. Obviously, if something went through the windshield, that's pretty concrete proof that something went through the wind.

But they were watching and they were like, oh, is that a bald eagle? Oh, is she carrying a cat?

Was he dropping the cat? Oh, my windshield. What a great great topic, Bob.
Is it all or no? Yeah, don't you hear the gong? No.

You didn't hear the gong? No, I was so busy being caught up in Bob's description. I was just imagining it.
That's exactly how it happened. Uh-oh, I lost a contact length.
Hold on. You lost a cup.

Oh, it's there. It's there.
Be careful rubbing those eyes, dude. Yeah.
It got sucked up into the void. I wish y'all could experience the perfection that is my eyes

that I rubbed baking grease into earlier.

So good the grease made them even better. Is that your secret?

Actually, the secret is, okay, total sidebar. I'm not starting a timer for this.
I always forget that eye drops are a thing.

Like I'll go through my whole day being like, ah, God, if only, if only there was some way to cure this. Oh, man, let me rub it some more.
God, it didn't work. Oh, woe is me.

Like every day. And then the other day I got something in my eye.
I was at the, I think I was was at the dog park actually.

And dogs are running by and one splashed into the puddle because it'd been raining here like crazy. And literally dog park pond water went, a drop went right in my eye.

And I go like, oh, oh, oh, what could I do? Rubbing it doesn't help me. Oh, no.

And then I go to the, I go, I go and I'm like, oh yeah, eye drops. I need to flush this.
Huge bottle, huge bottle of eye drops. Not even like contact solution, like actual lubricating eye drops.

And it was great. Instantly, it felt better.
I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, they do.
They're wonderful. I also don't use them.
Dude, eye drops feel so good.

I have some, and I also forget they exist because I don't get that very, but there's been, there have been a couple times where I found the eye drops.

I was like looking for something else and I was just like, yeah, I could use a hit. And you just like do some eye drops.
Feels great. It really does.
Your eyes feel so fresh. It's ridiculous.

All right, back to it. Whose turn? Bob's turn.
Yes. Ready?

Uh-huh. And go.
Arachnid super web reveals the surprising constant party life of cohabitating spiders.

There's this, what's come to be known as the world's largest spider web is currently thousands tens of thousands of spiders in a cave along the Albanian and Greek border.

Researchers published their findings recently of two different species of spider peacefully cohabitating in this giant terrifying sound terrifying sounding colony, which is nestled in a pitch-black cave.

And it's also a sulfur-rich environment. So, probably is just great in there.
That must be really fun research. You lost me at spiders.
I want nothing to do with a big story about spiders.

Tens of thousands of spiders.

Oh, Wade, you were so close to getting in there. If only your commentary was just a little longer.
I bet you wish you had. I'm not going to.

Anyway,

that was horrible. I would love to know more about this.
Actually, I would love to know less about that. I don't want to know about any super web that's on the Greek and whatever border.

I'm definitely not going to go caving, and I'm definitely not going to go caving in that area. It'd be a very oddly specific place to go caving.
I'm stealing. This is fantastic.

I'm stealing a turn here, but it'll still apply. Whoever is talking last gets a point here.
There's a VR game that I want to play and also don't want to play. That is a caving simulator.

I'm talking full on in the butthole of the earth like this. I'm not terribly claustrophobic, but just watching clips of that game makes me a little claustrophobic.
I couldn't do it. I could not do it.

You got to get like a, like a mixed reality setup for that, though. You got to build like a pillow fort.
So when you do try to like lift your head, there's like stuff and you're like, ah, gah.

I know, right? No, I disagree. Don't do it.
What's cool is the cave levels is the levels where people died in. The levels, the caves, the caves where people died in.
Oh, sick. Wow.

Are there ghosts in there so you can see if you're beating the losers who died?

And if I was a game developer, that'd be so phasmophobia in the nutty putty cave. Oh, can you imagine? I got an EMF5 and I'm stuck.
Yay.

It was me. Oh, well.

And Bob got it.

Unbelievable.

Yeah, I'm good at this game. He's really good.
Phasmo cave. All right, good job.
All right, Wade, it's finally your turn. This is your time to shine or something.
All right. Breaking news.

Bob and Wade both use same website to find stories to share with Mark during this episode because I'm seeing the same headlines he's looking at. Don't break the illusion.

Don't break the illusion. Oh, we are so uncreative in our searching that we both found up.

Ooh, this one sounds like it'll have what we're looking for. And it so far it has.
Is that your topic? Yeah, that was it. I just wanted to share that I saw.

I unfortunately came across your spiders. I will get away from that.

You can have that website. That's all you, buddy.
Oh, we pretty thoroughly drained it. You can milk some more out of there.

Yeah, I hope you can milk some more because this timer's got a lot of time left on it. Uh-oh.
Well, man, we've talked about such great things. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blue, blue.

You don't remember what we talked about or? Well, no, I remember what we've talked about so far today.

I see the Elvis judge. Uh-huh.
He doesn't look like Elvis in the photo they chose, I got to say. He looks more like Bill Nye and Bill Gates had a baby.
That would be a nerdy-ass baby.

And also scientifically fascinating. Yeah, and Bob's got it.

I spoke for 90% of that time,

which is like a good thing. You really just got to feel the timer and get yourself in there, you know? All I remember from that is Bill Nye, baby.
That's the important part.

All right. Okay.
All right. This is going just about as good as the last time.
And I actually realized on the suburb that someone made a full transcript of that episode. I'm not sure why.
Oh, dang.

We have transcripts? No. This one does, though.
Oh, okay. Man, I said Bob got it a lot.
This episode.

Well, it's been true. It's the nature of how I talk.
I really just sneak him in there. Oh, man.
All right. Okay.
Well, Bob, time for you to meet your comeuppance. We've got time for just a few more.

Ready? Yes. Up.
Go.

The organizer of the Miss Universe pageant has told Sky News that he cannot stand down from his position despite allegations that he called Miss Mexico a dumbhead.

I was expecting something incredibly like racist or what?

A dumbhead? Apparently, the contestants are obligated or and/or expected to post promotional content about the country that's hosting the pageant, and it was in Thailand.

So they were all supposed to post on their like social medias about something about Thailand. I'm sure they gave them, you know, pictures or had them go on a trip or whatever.

She was supposed to post something, which she did not do for whatever reason.

And apparently, in front of all of the contestants or a large group of them, he was this guy was standing at the front with a microphone, and she claims he called her a dumbhead.

And he refutes this, although there was some argument and he was chastising her for not doing what she's supposed to do. And then he called security, and then she walked out of the room.

He he called security security i called her a dumbhead remove me immediately they had a verbal altercation where he may or may not have called her a dumbhead she said you are not respecting me as a woman and then he called for security and she left and a bunch of other contestants went with her as a show of solidarity because what the fuck

what the

this is not a room full of uh six-year-olds by the way these are all adult people and

bub's got it man wade you really gotta talk more. I'm trying.
You don't give me a little, you know, I'm so interested in what you have to say. You don't leave any room.
It's a great strategy.

I've run out of space, Bob.

You know, I think the score is going to be real tight on this one. Just use some of MySpace for Bob's points.
Just don't delete Tom from my MySpace friends list.

So good, so good, so good.

All right, Wade, it's your time to shine. All right.
And by that, I mean I'm setting the timer to one minute now. So wait, one second to one minute.
Oh, so I know exactly how long I have. No, no.

I don't know who this is, but Dave Ramsey, he's a person and he said owning 15 to 20 houses isn't greedy because God owns it and he's just managing it for God.

And if you're calling him greedy, what you're actually doing is calling God greedy. I declare God is greedy.
Take that, Dave Ramp.

If you don't know who Dave Ramsey is, you don't know the rage bait that is Dave Ramp. He's this guy.
He's this older guy and he has a show where they do like financial advice.

But all his financial advice is always like, all right, so you own three homes, but if you want to have a sustainable income, you really want to own seven or more homes.

And you should probably raise your rent for your for your renters by like 20 to 30 percent, 50 if they can afford it.

Anyway, Dave Ramsey is miserable, and the show is only rage bait. And I see it on my like TikTok when I scroll sometimes.
Mm-hmm.

All right, Bob's good. Wade, you really got to talk, man.
Yeah, I see that. You don't have anything to contribute to these? That was your topic.

How do I make this more fair for you? What if I send you, when I hit the button, I'll DM you how much time there'll be on that? You have three seconds. Don't, damn it.

Look,

you'll have to keep track of how many it is at that time. You know what?

This losing isn't my losing. This is God's losing.
So he's not going to allow this to happen. If Wade loses, loses, he's making God a loser.
The wheel will vindicate me in the end. All right.
Okay.

All right. Well, Bob, it's your topic, and we're just going to go back and forth.

It's the last one. No, we'll go.

We'll go. We'll go.
I want Wade to have some opportunity to. claw back from the depths of hell that he's found himself in.
Let me in, coach. I'm a fourth quarter player anyway.
All right, Bob, go.

Children look on in horror and shock as Chuck E. Cheese is arrested for credit card theft.

Apparently, a gentleman who in Tallahassee, Florida, because fucking, of course it was in Florida, who was wearing the Chuck E. Cheese mascot outfit in the Chuck E.

Cheese, like going around and be like, hey, kids, Chuck E. Cheese.
And there's body cam footage of two cops arresting him. And it was for credit card fraud.
Wait, I DM'd you the time.

I was going to cut him off. He was still telling the story.
Whatever, you're going to cut him off. I think that's the idea, yeah, is that you're supposed to jump in.

Man, if I want to win, we just need to play a lot of games where you have to be kind of rude to win. Oh, I had that part covered.
I couldn't see the teeth. I knew it was covered by my article.

Okay, we're reorganizing. I see it now.
Why is Steam up? You opened Steam at the beginning of this episode. That's a long time ago now.
I keep doing it, I think. I don't know what I'm doing.

You instinctively instinctively just want to play a game to get away from this. I sure do.
Let me play something I can win. Blueprints for an hour.
What are we talking about? I've got this.

There's no way I don't get this point. You've got this.
I'm going to... I'll send you the time that it starts at.

You're so good. Ready? Yes.
All right, and go. In Japan, what do you think the most common animal to fear would be? Oh, I'll tell you the answer? Bears!

Bear attack shelters are going on sale in Japan as the country experiences record high number of incidents. Bears in Japan going crazy.
Listen, Bob, don't even try to say anything.

I've got this point. I don't know if we gonged or not, but I'm going to tell you about bears.
They're mammals. They got claws.
Take your work. Don't you step in.

I'm telling you about this is my point.

Almost. I almost snuck it in there.
I could tell you were trying not you were trying to keep it going and I was like, if I start talking, he'll stop.

Man, I have to ask the editors to do that photo finish. Look at the waveform.
It won't really

apply the point to the next episode, but to me, it sounded like Bob talked those two words at the exact moment the gong went off. That was just from my perspective.

I swear he somehow fucking timed it, but I'll leave that one right now to Wade for the effort. but editors let us know because

that'll give Bob a point if he nailed that timing. Is that cool to everybody? I appreciate that.

That's pretty balanced. What was it? 0.4? What was the topic? I've forgotten now.
Bears! Bear attacks in Japan.

I didn't know there were such a thing as bear attack shelters, but I can't talk about them anymore. The topic's over.
Yeah, there isn't such a thing as far as we're concerned. All right, last round.

Bob, it's your topic. Are you ready? I'm ready.
Wait, do you want me to send you the time for this one? No, no,

I can feel it. All right.
Here we go. Three, two.
Scientists at King's College London have discovered. And Bob's got it!

I was just about to cut in. You were looking so eager, too.
I know. I was like...

Did he not tell you it was like four seconds? I would not have had time to type it to him.

him it was two seconds i also told him not to i got this i don't need i don't need cheats on well that one was a really uninteresting topic so we didn't miss out on anything don't worry about it all right um i'm gonna start with wade's points for no reason yeah

you got points for

frozen three i'm melting very funny very funny man that was great You are the watcher. You went first.
Sold your game. Jamar Chase spitting on that other player.
Yeah, I don't like that one.

At this point, the rules changed. You called it a subreddit, which was funny.
Ved, just... No, that's not your point.
Veg just went to Bob. Never mind.
9-1-1 Eagle. Bald Eagle went to Bob.

Dave Ramsey.

We're doing my points, though, right? Yeah, he's trying to find points for you. Don't worry about it.

Yeah.

You have a conditional bear point. Okay.

Eight. That's good.
Okay.

Does Bob have at least? You probably killed me of the small talk. Yeah.
Oh.

No, but yeah. Bob, we represent the listeners guild.

Plague host, crematory murder, question mark. Domi Bobby.
Cheetos, Twitch, Elvis Judge, Vegisilph from Wade.

Oh, wait, no, Wade, you got the Henna tattoo. That went to you.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yes! And then the super web. I forgot you got, you got some.
You did some in there.

Yeah, I have arrows going to you at least, so I'm assuming that's correct. Don't call it a comeback.

back by baby bill nye baby bill nye baby yeah bill nye baby miss universe and then scientist uh 13 points so that's not as far apart as i thought they would be it's 13 to 10 technically within range of at least a tie all right i just need to spin a three and have three victories ow sorry i hit my heel

what's the shit i kicked my chair with my heel and it really hurt my foot okay maybe sit still for a second. Just relax.
Okay.

How many points will it be?

Of course it will be three.

Okay.

Oh.

How about for the wheel? If it's a sequel to an episode, add percentage to the tie wheel. Ooh.

Whatever the

other thing is here, there's a certain one that puts percentage. We'll do the same percentage that one does.
It's 10%.

All right. I got to find some minuses to the wheel.
If episode is a sequel, add 10% to Tywheel. If episode is a sequel, subtract 10% to Tywheel.
All right. Three spins it is.
Shall we? You know it.

Happiest contributions? Happiest. All right.
Let me look back at here. I feel like my list is not the happiest sounding.
I know Wade has a couple, but.

Is it list of points or list of topics brought up? This is happiness. I'm trying to see which one's happiest by least happy by counting up the not happies.

Yeah, but by points or by who brought up which topic? Who brought up which topic? So you have the 911

or the bald eagle dropping a cat. That's not very happy.
No, that's not very happy. Jamar Chase wasn't very happy.
Jamar Chase spitting, and then there's a bear attack.

So that's three unhappiest of Bob's four unhappies. Wade, you had the happiest contribution.
Congratulations. You did it.
All right, two more to go.

Hang on to your seats, baby, because this one's a screamer. Right, Matthew Lillard?

Most perceptive. Who added that to the wheel?

I don't know that I can argue me for that because I lost so many things. I didn't even see where Mark texted me the cheating answer.
That is a pretty bad fail on the.

That's pretty bad. Yeah.
I think that Bob having the incredible timing. Yeah, that's got to go to Bob.
All right, two points for Wade coming up. Is that on the on here?

It's not impossible for you to win. This wheel is very rigged.
Come on.

Oh,

hardest thinker. Hardest thinker.
Well, Wade, you were doing a lot of thinking and not talking, so I guess I got to give you that one. Yeah, I definitely was not thinking.

I was just going, going, going, and winning, winning, winning. Oh, man, I was being so thoughtful.
Unfortunately, Wade, you only got two out of the three wheel spins.

It really was all about giving you that opportunity, but it was snatched from from the jaws of victory. Anyway, congratulations, Bob.
14 points to Wade's 12. You did it.
I'm the greatest.

I'm actually amazed how close that was because it really didn't feel close. It didn't feel very close at all.
You know, guys, I would feel offended, but you're right, it did not.

I did not feel like I should be in that.

It felt like I was really running away at full speed with that one for a lot of it. All right, winner speech, Bob.
You know, sometimes it's just meant to be.

Sometimes the game plays directly into your strengths.

I don't know why my strength is having a sense of when a timer is gonna go off across the entire country from where I'm currently sitting but apparently if there's a way to monetize that I should really figure it out because I got the touch or superhero power sensing someone's alarm clock I'm a feeler I could I got the feel I feel it I have the feel about setting the microwave and then coming back when it's ready.

Or I did before my piece of shit microwave that doesn't fucking work adds random time to my it adds time, it adds random time. What the hell kind of thing? Why would it do that?

Oh, because it's all a touchscreen, just no physical buttons, so it just goes off whenever it feels like.

When like a little steam comes out of the vent at the top, it goes right over the touch controls and it could it can actually press buttons. That's so stupid.
It's so stupid.

Look, you can't expect a company like Wolf to make good kitchen appliances. Oof, allegedly.
Allegedly. Well, true, actually.
I live this.

Yeah, I mean, if you have one, I think you're allowed to say that you think it sucks. Oh, it's the biggest piece of shit.
It is the war.

Wolf, I don't know if you've ever tried to make a microwave before. This wasn't it.
So

Texas microwave

fucking showing up your ass. All right, Wade, Loser's Beach.
This was a not very hard-fought battle that I was in by pure coincidence. Frozen, though, if you guys need some ideas for titles, call me.

I got you. Yeah, I turned my loser speech into a ploy for another job.
All right. Well, that, I hope that works out for you, man.
Oh, people call me all the time for stuff because I'm good. Of course.

Of course you do. Sure, I believe that.
And then we're going to have a surprise point in a future episode, probably the next one. Well, not the next one because Bob's going to be hosting as a winner.

But the next one that he's a participant in, he might get a conditional point if he actually got the photo finished, which I'd be very curious what that was.
