Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractible. This episode, booming Bob couldn't fly, gets a GoPro taste ass and goes into the long and short of things. Weirdling Wade looms in limos, flips himself off, gets hammered, then abuses Red Hot and ducked tape. Modest Mark talks bathroom magic, advising Apple, capturing crap coverage and blasting bamboo. From hyping hairlessness to expunging Wade, it's time for doing Too much. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
B
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractable. The most hype, the most handsome, the most hairless podcast you're gonna find anywhere online. I was trying to. I could be handsome or it could be hype.
C
Wait, do I have to be hairless?
B
Pretty much, yeah. I guarantee I have more hair than you on every part of my body that has hair. Plus, I have hair where you don't.
C
The esophagus.
A
I guess if we're counting body hair, I am quite a hairless individual.
C
Markiplier up top, Mole rat below.
B
Why did I introduce this podcast that way? Couldn't fucking tell ya. Anyway, Wade's bald. Welcome to Distractable. This is the show where the points are like apples to your doctor. They matter as much as you think they do, but your doctor doesn't really
A
give a shit if you eat apples.
B
You still have to go see him. I tried that. I told my doctor I was eating like three apples a day. Still made me come in. Didn't matter. Said I needed medicine. Anyway, if you've never seen the show before, this is a great warm up for what you can expect for the entire time. It's an improvised show. I have a topic. We might not even get to it. It really depends how things go today. We poured our hearts out last time, so I'm sure we'll get to the game today. Sure, it'll be fine. But I'm the host, Bob, because I won the last one. And I only am Bob because I won. If I had lost, I'd be somebody else. I'm joined, as always, by my two competitors, slash co hosts, Mark and Wade.
A
Hello. Hey. Hey. Hey.
B
It feels like it's been like a month and a half to me. The amount of shit that happened since the last time we were here doing this, which was only one week ago, is crazy to me. Do you guys know that five hours after we hung up the last recording session, I was doubled over a toilet, vomiting so hard that I was pulling muscles on my ribs?
C
No, I thought you were on a plane.
A
I kind of suspected that, actually.
B
Yeah, Mark did know that because we were.
A
Yeah.
B
No, I didn't go. Didn't end up going to England. Was supposed to go to England. Didn't happen. Crazy.
C
Wait, neither one of you made it to England?
B
Nobody made it to England.
A
No one made it.
C
Is anyone in England? England, are you there?
B
It wasn't just us. Nobody could go to England because their whole government system to get travel visas exploded. I don't know. I don't know what happened. It just stopped existing for a while.
A
But you were sick, which is different than the problem I was having.
B
I haven't been that sick in such a long time. Last time I was like, oh, James was sick. It was so bad. I don't even care he was sick anymore. God, I was sick. It's awful. Me, if you don't laugh, it's really awkward. Guys.
A
Sam, take a laugh from another episode. Put it here.
B
I just. It's been a hell of a week. How are you guys doing?
A
Well, to echo on that, I also was supposed to be in love. I've got a lot of small talk to. It was also one of the most eventful weeks of my entire existence. I think all three of us could probably agree. This past week has been loaded with all kinds of incredible, horrifying things happening.
C
Mine was pretty on par with normal.
A
Nor.
C
So I don't know if we all three could agree, but it sounds like you two really.
B
I know one thing that happened to all three of us that we can all be excited about.
A
We all bought it.
B
Wait, what? Wait, is that the ILM one?
A
No, it's a 3D printed.
B
No, wait, no. And you. I know you bought. They sent this to me with a handwritten note that said, hey, distractable, thanks so much for being so hyped up about GoPro and our new products. And we thought we'd send you guys.
C
They sent us one camera, and by us. They met you.
B
I assumed they sent it to each of us. Like, we. I am not distractible.
A
The.
B
It was. We are. The three of us are distractible.
C
Not anymore. Apparently, you are Mr. Distractible, because I
B
knew Mark had bought one, so I thought, like, oh, well, he's not going to be. You know, he's not going to be like hyped as I am about that. But yeah, they sent the. And they sent the. The. The cage that goes with it. That's pretty. Nothing you got. Never mind. I mean, nothing happened to all three of us this week. We all had very different experiences.
A
Did they actually. Did they actually.
B
Yes. Honest to God. A package showed up and it was addressed to Distractable. And I was like, huh, that's weird. Because we haven't had any sponsors lately. Previous, we had lots of sponsors on the show. We would occasionally just get boxes that were like, here's a year's supply of gummies for some reason you're going to do a sponsorship for. But this, it was. It was a very nice note that was like, ah, you. You guys are such good fans. We love you. Distractible. Here's. Here's the new. Here's that camera you were talking about so much. You go shoot your movies with it.
A
Do they think they're funny? Do they think they're funny?
C
I think they're funny. I was sad till I realized Mark didn't get one too. Now I feel a lot better.
A
I have one. I have actually multiple because bought multiple of them. If Wade didn't. If we didn't get one, I'm happier
C
I didn't get one. So you can be happier.
B
I didn't realize I was so important. I didn't realize I was the figurehead of this show. I represent all of Distractable. Look, you know, you, Mark, I'm sure that they meant to send it to you. And there was just some mix up because they're like, oh, Mark's big Cincinnati guy. He must be one of. He must be the Cincinnati address.
A
And we all live in the same house.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, it's.
A
It's being house.
B
It's gotta be an honest mistake, right? Because you, you talked to somebody. I thought.
A
Or I have been. I have been. You know, I. I have been.
C
Well, they definitely don't have Mark's address from the purchase he actually made through them to get one. So, yeah, odds are I'm not even very easy mistake.
B
I'm not even completely clear how they got my address. I've Never worked with GoPro ever directly.
C
They work in tech. They have all of our addresses. They know us.
B
I just asked Chachi pt, like, where
C
does Bob live and where does Distractible live? And your address came up.
B
I bet yours is in the mail. I mean, this came almost a week ago. But I think that while I was sick the day after we Recorded last. I think this showed up. So it's been here for a while. Been using it for trains. James. James likes me to film his trains, you know, so that's pretty important.
C
Mark's like on the edge of a volcano. Like, man, I really hope I can film this with my new camera. Bob's like, I have this little Fisher Price train set.
B
It's a Brio train. It's a Brio train with custom 3D printed accessories. Okay, calm down.
A
I'm just, I'm just going to see if there's a distractible code that works on this site because that would be fucking funny.
C
Mark is going into chat GPT to change the distractible address.
B
Well, you've been using it, so I can, I can tell you you were right on Mark. It's a great camera. Probably the nicest camera I actually own. Well, it's old, but I do have a Sony A7R2, so that's probably. But that's not fair because this is like 1110 the size of that thing.
A
I will say it's very good. Maybe not that good. Maybe it's not that good.
C
Why'd you voice correct during that? Are you okay?
A
Shut the fuck up. Doing an anti pitch now. Maybe. I, I actually. Okay, I was at Apple for the event and I, I felt afraid to pull this out of my pocket because you know them and their phones, they're all like, you talk. I was talking to the, the. This is a whole other. I'm jumping into the middle of my. I went to Apple small talk portion of this. But I was talking to the.
B
We got another Ms. Paint saga.
A
No, it was the lead photo esthetician.
B
Esthetician aesthetic person. The lead.
A
The person who's in charge of defining the aesthetics of photos. And so I, I was talking to them about like, it was like, oh, yeah, what do you use? I was like, oh, in the movie, you know, we use reds. For my main YouTube, you got like an A7S3 and I have a Nikon ZR and then I have a GoPro. Then they're like, how, how do you, how do you match all your stuff? It's like, well, I go, when do you use your phone? And I'm like, I use my phone how you I use it.
C
But they all have to say like the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
A
I, I legitimately had a great time at the Apple trip and I didn't mean to do it, but I was like, yeah, I use my phone and I pulled this out and then I pulled out this Monstrosity next to it. I was like. And then I got this in my other pocket.
C
What.
B
What is that?
A
It's like, oh, I 3D printed this. This little macro thing. It was made by.
C
What kind of camera do you keep it in your front pocket?
A
And I could just see, like the color drain from her face. Oh, God. I'm saying. Hold on, wait.
B
Hey, look. Episodes of an episode of this podcast was filmed on iPhones. IPhone. Mark's iPhone.
A
Can I tell you why I was invited?
C
Well, we now know why you won't be invited back, but yeah, sure.
A
No, no, I was. I swear. I have to shout out the. The subreddit home lab because legitimately, the reason I was invited is because Apple heard that I had 54 Mac studios in my bathroom as a runner and they legitimately told me, yeah, no one's ever done that before. And so I got an invite. I got to talk. I shook hands. I shook hands with Tim Cook himself, Mr. Tim Apple. I showed him the picture of my bathroom, and he said, that makes my heart sing. And I legitimately was like, that is the most. I almost wept. Oh, my God. So nice. Oh, my God. I just put it in a bathroom. I met John Ternus. I. I shook hands with him, I showed him the picture of it and he went, wow.
C
Wow.
B
Cool, Cool, cool, cool, cool.
C
Mark's like, I went to Apple because I had a bunch of computers in my bathroom.
A
Yeah, that is actually the reason.
B
Did you tell them about your Capri sun hack?
A
You know, it didn't come up.
B
It didn't.
A
It didn't come up. Did you tell them the next.
B
They should make it an adapter. So that's a Capri sun holder heat sink situation.
C
Mark pulls out his phone, he pulls out his GoPro. He pulls out a Capri Sun. He's like, guys, I have the next big thing for you.
A
I think that BTUs are an outdated way to measure thermal capacity. I think it should be Capri Suns. You know, I had a whole thing where I was going to say, like, it was such a wonderful experience, which it was. I'm not saying. I wasn't going to say, oh, fuck. Oh, God.
C
I was going to lie, say, it was a great time.
A
It was such a wonderful experience. I. The. The entire architecture of the. The Apple One campus is mind blowing.
B
It looks fake. Like, it looks like a. Like a weird VR background when they do, because they do walk and talks in front of it and stuff. And I'm always kind of like, is that the really. The thing or is that like a weird rendered. Because that looks ridiculous. It does. It looks insane.
A
It's real, it's legitimate. It, every single inch of it has like this polish to it. And, and it's every, like there's so much glass. I don't know how they made all the windows. I don't know how they did it. They have the largest moving glass doors in the world because. And it takes seven minutes for them to open. And they calculate it specifically of when they can maximize the temperature exchange. And it's, it's, it's a marvel of engineering that, that, that building is actually legitimately incredible. And I said to them, like, oh, I get it. Like, it's, you want your employees to be inspired, but aren't you worried that they'll just kind of like, wander in the park and never come back? Because the entire interior Courtyard is like 80 acres of just like lovely landscaping with trees and gardens and fruit on art. There's orchards there that they use to, to, to make jam for their own cafeterias. And it's like.
C
Is it all apple jam?
A
No, they have apples. But that's, that's funny. That's funny right there. It's, it legitimately, it's great. So I, I, I'm really painting it in a bad light. My trip was wonderful and I, yeah,
C
the missing employees wall is a little concerning of people that wandered in the park and never return.
A
Well, that's at night. If they hear, see pieces of paper on trees and they go out into the woods and hear a thumping in the background, you know, you know, you shouldn't go out there then and there. But I felt afraid because I kept, I didn't, you know, I didn't film with my iPhone there. I kept her.
B
Like, I, I don't know if you were in like a separate thing, but isn't everyone there filming with like their big, their camera cameras? It's not like every. All because like MKBHD goes and stuff and they. He has some, yeah, 8K cinema thing.
C
It's a really big iPhone.
B
It's, it's just an iPhone with like so many attachments. Is like, yeah, this is an iPhone 17 Pro Max.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
B
Captured on iPhone. Yeah, yeah.
A
I, I wasn't with them. I was in a separate group. Yeah, I was in the red carpet. No, no, it was special. No, it was good. I was special. I was special.
B
When you were done, did you call the guy who got you hooked up and be like, ah, yeah, I almost went to the Main part, I was somewhere else. And he's like, it would have been
A
great if you'd have been to the.
B
Oh, I wish. Did you take any pictures? No, you wouldn't get your camera out.
A
Oh, okay, good, good. Okay, good, good, good.
B
I'm glad we called that favorite.
A
I was in the special group.
C
I was sure, buddy,
A
I had such a good time.
C
They showed you the missing person area. They showed you their phone.
B
He showed you some apples and other fruits.
C
They gave you a Capri Sun. They looked at your photo like, that's a good photo.
B
That Home Lab Reddit post is so good, though. Like, I found that organically. I mean, I'm. I'm connected to a bunch of you. Shit. So it wasn't that organic. But it's. The discussion on that original post on Reddit was very funny because there were so many people who didn't understand the context at all and were like, why the fuck would you need any of this? Like, yeah, what is this for?
A
It was really cool to talk to them about why I did the max, because number one, it's in a bathroom. So it's like, I can only put so many air conditioners in there before the air conditioner insulation guy will report me to somebody. And I feel like there was an aha moment with that, and it was so cool. I was talking. I was in this group with someone from ilm, which is Lucasfilm, who does a lot of the VFX for all the biggest movies you could imagine. And so I was able to talk about Houdini with this guy because that was one of his specialties. I mean, he uses all of the softwares, but he also knows Houdini and has used it for a long time. And talking about, like, yeah, I was using it for, like, tops. And it was perfect for the artists to be able to kick out little tasks to all the studios. And a lot of people think it was overkill, but it's not overkill right now because right now there's like a run on Mac Studios and the price of them is actually more than I originally paid for them. So it's like I could. I could turn a profit on just the thing. It's like. So that was actually part of it
C
because I knew used Mac studio location. My bathroom
A
sold as is not poopy
B
bathroom pickup only. I will be on toilet when you arrive.
A
Don't look.
C
Here's a photo of the Mac Studios. There's just the arrow pointing to each one in that one photo. Like, here's the one you're getting.
A
Yeah, one listing. Just each one's. Yeah, that's very funny. So it was. But I. I was able to talk to, you know, some people at Apple specifically about that because they were very curious because it was like a niche use case, and they really like to hear about niche use cases. And so I didn't mention glob results at all.
B
That was probably good.
A
I mentioned how I stacked them, like, upside down like that. And I. Okay, I might have embarrassed. I referenced how when I was at Perkins as a kid, I would take
B
the little creamer cups and stack them lid to lid.
C
Dude, I would kill for Perkins right now.
A
Lid to bottom, bottom to lid, like that. And I told him, like, if you put a thermal sheet in between them, because it's a big block of aluminum, my theory was they could kind of share with each other because they're a big thermal block and kind of if one's running and the other's not, it can act as a heat sink. And at worst, they could, you know, fit together better. And, you know, they. They actually listened to me. So. Ha. Take that, everyone at home lab. I went to Apple. I have an Apple shirt.
C
I met the owner of Apple, and I told him how I used to stick coffee creamers.
A
That is not.
C
And then he looked at a picture on my phone and said, wow, that's
A
a misrepresentation of my story.
B
Just the whole time, it's feral. Feral. Mid episode of Distractible Mark wandering around like, you know, coffee creamers, right? Seen coffee creamers,
C
you can stack them. I thought laptops are like coffee creamers.
A
Not even a laptop.
C
You just get the Capri sun and you put in the middle of them.
B
He doesn't know what he's saying. Don't listen to him.
A
Actually, if I probably did use Capri sun packets in between them, that would have been even funnier. Like, I stack one, drink a Capri sun, put it down, stack one other.
C
You wait till you smash it in the middle and you really compress.
A
Get it out of there. I don't drink through the straw. I slam it between two Mega studios
B
and open my mouth so it's in the bathroom. You stack them in the tub, and then you just. And the tub collects the Capri Suns, and then you have, like, a whole tub of Capri Suns.
A
This is endgame. Markiplier behavior is just like, I don't know what to do with all my movie money. Let me just slam.
C
If you guys zoom in on the picture, you'll see all the straw still in the wrapper on the floor of the bathroom.
A
I. I hope at worst they got a good laugh out of me showing them the picture. But, you know, I think when, you know, when Tim Cook retires, he looks back on his long history at Apple and remembers my picture.
C
His last words, like, don't let Markiplier own this company. Why would he say that? Because the last thing he thinks of is that picture.
B
Your takeaway is that Tim Cook hates Mark now and is dying soon.
A
That's a rumor.
C
I guess we could start.
A
Don't. I'm never gonna be invited again. You ruin all of my sponsorships forever and forever.
C
Whoops.
B
Well, that sounds fun. And I. Honestly. Not that I have any reason to go to any of those, but I am pretty jealous because that. That's just one of those things where it's like, I just would like to go see, you know, like, the. The Apple campus seems cool. The event seems super cool. The. It's like an. It's a. I mean, they have tons of people there, but it's pretty exclusive. You get like a cool, like, swag bag and they give you, like. It's just all kinds of really cool stuff. That's very fun, very jealous.
A
It's. It's awesome. Like, no joke. Whatever you think about the company, it that if you were to work anywhere, I'd be like, man, I could quit YouTube and work here. This is fucking awesome. This would be amazing.
B
You could be their bathroom guy.
A
I'll be the bathroom guy.
C
Oh, Mark, we're having some issue in this bathroom. It seems like all the toilets have been ripped out and replaced with Capri sun dispensers.
A
Just keep building servers in their bathrooms. I know what you're being. You guys aren't doing it right.
B
Why do we get a PO for what's listed as 600 bathroom iPhones? Oh, I'm working on something. It's, you know, dispersed computing. It's complicated. I'll let you guys know how it works out. I don't go in the bathroom on the east wing for a while while it's a donut. So how to. Don't go in the bathroom on the left donut. How do you describe which way a
A
donut is 1 through 8? It's like they have numbered sections 1 through 8, and everything inside it is sub numbered.
C
Yeah, whatever you do, stay out of the jelly. Stay out of the jelly. I could go for it. I want Perkins. I want a donut. I want all this stuff.
A
Is Perkins still in business?
B
Yeah, they still Exist. I can't think of the closest one to where we live, but I. I know I've seen one pretty recently.
C
Everyone out there go to a Perkins right now. Let's go. Support Perkins to keep him around.
A
There's one in Fairfield. There's one in. In Cincinnati.
B
It says Cincinnati. I know that place.
C
Great episode. I'm gonna go get some Perkins.
B
Well, you didn't even do your small talk. Mark had a couple.
C
That's right.
B
Mark had a couple things. Or did you do small talk?
A
I haven't even. I haven't even finished my small talk. I've got.
B
Mark's not even done. Shut up, Wade.
C
Sorry, my bad.
A
Oh, no. Go, please.
C
No, no. Man, how could I live up to it?
B
Mark's life is so fascinating. I want to hear about it.
A
I went to Gear Expo. Oh, sorry. Cine Gear Expo. I don't know why I call it Gear Expo.
C
Cine Gear.
B
Gear, yeah. Skinny Gear. It's for skinny guys.
A
It's like nab. And it's for, you know, cinema equipment manufacturers. It's. It was really cool. It was on the Universal lot. And I don't. I guess they didn't anticipate anyone would be driving a truck into this because I go into the parking garage and I get there and I see a bar that says six, six. And if I look up, what, the height of. Of an f150 light, it's probably just
B
about 6, 6, 6, 5.
C
So there's no bump.
B
Yeah, that's a really accurate and consistent 6, 6.
A
So I get in there and my antenna goes off of the bar and I'm me and Sam. Sam is actually in the truck with me. He was on this journey, so he could. We're looking up at the sunroof, watching this pillar pass within, like a hair's breadth. And I'm like, hope this road is perfectly SM and doesn't bump us up at all. Because it was like that. And then we get in there and no one stops us until we're already in. It's like, oh, wow. As we're about to go through, like, I figured as much. So I'm doing a 20 point, like, Austin Powers turn, trying to get her out. And I drive out. I get to the outside, I'm just like, hey, you have any parking for, like, big vehicles, big vehicle right here? And they're like, oh, no, no, sorry, you'll have to go across the street. And I'm like, okay, that's fine. I have to make a right out here and then make A U turn up ahead, but I see another sign that's like cine gear parking right here. It's another parking lot tonight. I'm like, oh, it. I'll risk it. I go over there. Hey, do you. What's. What's the clearance in there? And they're like, oh, nine feet. They lied to me. They said there was no big vehicle parking. Anyway, I parked. That's my story.
B
Nice. Nice.
A
That's it. I harassed the people at the GoPro booth.
B
That's.
A
What else do you want to know about Seeker?
C
How far have we fallen in our small talk is. Guys, I got to park my truck and I found a place to park. LA everyone.
A
I talked to the GoPro people, I showed them this. They said 3D printed thing.
B
That must be why they sent us one.
C
Yeah, so like, let's send Bob something. We'll use it responsibly.
A
I filmed stuff while I'm the worst YouTuber in the world. I filmed stuff while I was there. And I import all my footage and all I have is this pointed at the ground while I'm having a stupid conversation. A nine second clip, a six second clip of me in the bus with here going into the camera. I'll send Sam the clip of that because it's not what I got. And then there's like a out the bus window kind of horribly reflection thing. It's like, I think I know why they don't send it. Because there's no way I could ever actually show what this thing could do.
C
It was like footage from my first ever PAX vlog.
A
I forgot to film anything while I was there.
C
Well, thank God you had your GoPro.
A
So CineGear. It was really good. This thing is so good.
C
Please, please, can I ask why they built a parking garage that can't hold any vehicles?
B
I mean, trucks are pretty tall. How. How tall do you think most vehicles are?
C
Well, I feel like if you're gonna build a parking garage, you'd want it to hold more than cars.
B
My car is a full. Is a full size SUV, but it's like 6:2 or something. Like it's. It's big, but most cars are. Are under six. Six. Unless it's a truck.
A
Yeah, the F150 Lightning is particularly large.
B
Like all the Honda CRVs in the world, all the minivans, all the, all the big vehicles that just aren't trucks all fit in there pretty much.
A
When you get a car, Wade, you'll understand.
B
Yeah, we'll teach you about it.
C
I mean, I Barely have clearance in that garage. I feel like I'd want it to be taller.
B
It's good. You get to sit down and I don't know if you know this, Mark. You get to sit in cars car. You don't stand on top of a car. You sit down in it. So the height of the car, you
A
got the Spirit airline standing seats in your car for your tall. It's like a Segway car.
C
I only know those limousines where you stand sitting out the middle popping champagne and screaming with your arms in the air. That's how I go around.
A
He stands sitting out the middle. He really doesn't know cars.
B
Well, you must be done now, Mark. You can't possibly have had other stuff happen.
A
I parked my truck, I went to Apple, man. People really shouldn't invite me to things.
C
Come on, man. You're such a fun, fun person with fun things. And you've got all that footage recorded. We get to see.
A
I. Yeah.
B
You are going to have had such a full week. I'm glad it all panned out.
A
I did, I did. I got footage while I was at Apple. I did. I got footage. I got some stuff. I was like gear exploits. I. I don't want to come across as incompetent because then.
B
Were you in the secret room where they showed you the unreleased hardware and can you tell us about it? You want to be a leaker?
A
I. I wasn't. Is that something that leak us, Mark?
C
Oh, every important person they invite there gets to go to that room.
A
Yeah. Wait, hold on. They have a secret room? Wait, what do you mean they have that room? Yes, I saw that room. Oh, I'm gonna leak everything. They got everything in there. It's so cool. I was in the special group
C
he's in the group called paid guided tour.
A
I was in this bed. I don't know why.
B
I just have this extensive vision of you talking to the photo aesthetic person and you pull your GoPro and then you're just frantically like, I never used that. I don't even know how that got in there. I have a vision. Pro. Look, listen, I have like. Oh, yeah. How'd you like the latest update?
A
Oh, well,
B
my dog borrowed it, so
A
Chick is addicted to it. Not that it's addictive. I mean, it's so fun, but.
C
And I got to meet Tom Cook. It said no relation under. I don't know what that meant, but Tom was a real nice guy.
A
I don't know if you're making fun of me or if you actually think his Name is Tom.
C
No, I'm saying his name is. I'm making fun of both.
B
Yes, both.
C
You met the wrong person. It's funny.
B
See, this is the thing, Wade. You shoot yourself in the foot. When people don't know if you're making a joke or if you just actually
C
can't remember a person's name, it's okay, because I still find it funny. And no one matters more to me than me when it comes to humor. If I make me laugh, I'm happy.
B
Isn't that the truth? So does Wade get to talk now, or do you?
A
Yeah, now my small dog is done.
C
38 minutes in.
A
I swear I meant it. These stories should have taken only, like, five minutes at most. I don't know how it got drawn out this far.
C
How long was the segment about him parking his truck?
A
That was a quick one. That was such a quick anecdote. It was. And then, you know, Gear Expo was. I. I saw a lot of. Oh, man.
C
I gotta tell you guys. I went to the mall yesterday because Mal. They had cracked her. Not her screen on her phone, but the, like, screen protector had cracked. So we went and got that replaced. And we got to the mall. It was actually pretty busy for, like, a Monday afternoon. So it took me, like, 30 seconds. I was driving up and down, like, I kind of want to pull straight through, but everyone's kind of like zigzag. But I finally found a place where I could pull through, and I parked and then went into the mall and did stuff. I got parking stories, too. I drive. I car. Have. Have.
B
And do I believe you more every time you say it like that.
C
And then I had hibachi for lunch. It was really good. What else have I done? I went to. I went to my mom's house. She has, like, a pool. So I went to her house and I went swimming.
A
Ish.
C
I have to be careful with my legs, so I wasn't going too crazy. But I got to get in water and move around and tried to statically toss football with my nephew without using my legs, which is harder than you'd think if you try to sit on a float and throw a football. Weird things happen sometimes with your momentum, it turns out. So I flipped myself off the back a few times, but it was good. Look at my calendar. What else did I do? Last week, I met up with Jesse, our friend Jesse. We went out and we had.
A
Oh, Jesse.
C
We had dinner. I hadn't talked to him since. We went. We saw Iron Lung when it came out, and I hadn't seen him since. So it was the first time we'd got together since Iron Lung. And I guess we were celebrating since Iron lungs out on YouTube. We're like, let's get together again.
B
I hope more Iron Lung stuff happens so you could see Jesse ever again. You got to keep that alive.
A
We got a Blu Ray release, I guess. And then I. I don't know, man. I don't think there's anything else.
C
It might be the last time. Got to figure out something fancy to do.
A
He only manifests when Iron lung is mentioned, like a chant, you know, a demon. You just got like, iron Lung, Iron Lung. And he sort of fades into existence.
C
That's the way it's been this year.
B
It's creepy because he doesn't talk.
C
No, he just sits there wearing his Iron Lung shirt, smiling. It's really creepy.
A
He's got this weird expression on his face. Just like the whole time. For the listeners, I made this face.
B
That face sounds like this.
A
That's actually pretty accurate. Yeah, that's pretty good.
C
He made the face that you make when you make that noise, which is
B
not the face that I make when I make that noise, just to be clear for the viewers who got confused by what he just said.
C
So I guess over. Over in Blue Ash, there was an airport at some point, I don't know when, but they converted it into, like, a bar, grill, slash, like, big park area. So we went over there and we had dinner, which was pretty good. But it was a beautiful spot in, like, the old air traffic control tower is, like, covered in, like, pretty lights and stuff now. So it's just a really beautiful spot. That was nice. It was nice getting out, catching up with him for a few hours because we hadn't talked, like I said, in months. But getting out of the house, kind of breaking the routine a little bit's been nice. Just trying different things to get out of the supernatural funk that's been this year so far. So pool, water, and air bar. I drink, so I don't drink very much. You guys remember the drunk Minecraft days? I used to be like, oh, it's a double long island and all that shit. I had one cider at this bar with food, and still. I was like, molly, we might need to sit here for, like, two hours
A
or else you're driving home. Oh, my God. This thing's like 6% alcohol.
C
So I had one cider, and I about knocked me out of my ass. So I'm definitely not a drinker. I'm very lightweight. Just getting out of the house. Breaking the routine a little bit.
B
I don't know.
C
I don't. I don't do fancy things. There's no fancy stores or things I go to. So just normal human behavior for me is a big deal. Played Diablo 2 again. Resurrected the old 1999 game. And learning how hard that game can be still compared to the newer ones kicks my ass. I feel like there was something else I wanted to add, but I. God, I'm boring. I should have gone first. I'm so boring.
A
No, come on, man. You're not boring. Don't be like that.
B
Remember how Mark parked his truck? That was the good stuff.
C
I had lunch with my mom and I poured alcohol on her on accident. That happened.
A
Like, pouring one out for your homies kind of.
C
No, we had lunch and she had, like, a Prosecco or something, and the waiter dropped off a check, and I was like, I'll get it. And as I went to get the check, I just threw the Prosecco on her on accident. So it's kind of rude, man. The highlights of my week.
B
Yeah. Mark didn't even talk about the Visa thing. It's not that interesting. It's sort of just crazy that that happened because. Of course it did. Did.
A
Anyway, we didn't get to talk about Real Good AI on at south by, so we'll do a makeup stream at some point in the future.
B
It'll be even better.
C
Yeah, I guess so. I don't know what the event was originally supposed to be. Was it all a conference about Real Good AI or was it like a segment as a part of another show? Or, like, what was the.
B
It was south by Southwest London. Right. So it was not the main one in Austin, but it was. It's like a. I don't even know
C
what south by Southwest is.
B
There's like a music festival. There's, like, movie premieres and, like. But. But the. They have, like, talks that are kind of in the vein of, like, TED Talk, kind of, but not really TED Talky, but, like, the theme this year was, like, talks focused around AI and how AI is intersecting with stuff. So we were going to talk about what Real Good is doing.
C
Gotcha. So the event probably still happened. They just didn't have.
B
Oh, yeah, no, like, tons of shit. Michelle Obama was there. It was. They did not notice that. We did.
C
How'd she get there? She has to Visa like the rest of us, right?
B
I don't know.
A
I don't know.
B
Her thing was actually a day earlier than ours, so she probably traveled right before that whole thing happened.
C
Michelle, let us know how you got it. Can I call you Michelle? Let us know how you got it.
B
I do not condone him addressing you that way whatsoever.
C
This is on behalf of Mark and Bob. They really want to know.
B
Don't listen to him. Listen, Mrs. Obama.
A
Cut the whole bit. Cut the whole bit.
C
Cut it.
A
Bail. Bail. Sam, hit the emergency button.
C
Hey, well, I'm sorry you guys didn't get to go. Hopefully. How long was the visa thing down? Is it still down?
B
It was literally for, like, 48 hours, right when Mark needed it.
A
I got my notification that my visa was approved, like, that evening.
C
So you guys missed your flight. That it was like, all right, well, now you can't make it. You could go.
A
Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, Small talk done.
C
All right, Bob. We did it in a timely manner.
B
Yeah. We got lots of time. That's okay. That's okay. This game. This game can be as long or short as we want it to be. And by the way, it's. I don't know. I'm saying it's a game. Like, it's not a game.
C
Is it called long or short?
B
Oh, what if it was?
A
And now I'll be disappointed if it's not.
B
This game is called long or short.
A
I'm not disappointed.
C
I feel like you're lying, but I'm happy about it.
B
The new name of the game that just popped up into my head has nothing to do with the game and doesn't describe it in any meaningful way. But I'm going to go ahead and call it long or short. Anyway.
C
Way.
A
Hey, my leg's bleeding, dude.
B
I took rose bushes out yesterday with a chainsaw. It is as fun as it sounds, but holy. To rose bushes. Fight back. God damn.
A
Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
C
I'm at that age where I get, like, the cuts and bruises. I'm like. I remember getting this giant scrape. What happened to me?
B
Are you 73 years old? What do you mean by that? I know what happened. I'm not confused why I have a scab down there.
C
No, I literally get, like, beat up, and I have no idea.
A
Yeah, I don't know how this gap happened. So I'm. I'm in that same boat, and I'm.
B
You guys need to be more careful.
C
Don't worry, Bob. You're, like, two months away from our age. You'll know. You'll know in two months what we're talking about. I think you're the youngest of us, right?
A
Let's say our age at the same time. 1 2, 3, 36.
B
Oh. So I thought we were doing.
C
He's young.
A
Got him.
B
Is that bad now? All right, long or short? Also known as doing too much. I have a list of some things I want to talk about because Mandy brought this to my attention, and I looked into it. It. And I have a problem. Have you guys ever heard of Dr. Bronner's soap? I'm familiar with this product. It's a product.
A
No, I'm not.
B
Pure canon. What the hell is it called? Pure something.
C
Castile.
B
Castile, Yeah. I don't know what that word means, but pure castile soap, Dr. Bronner's, on their own website, lists this soap, which is just a liquid Soap, as having 18 or more uses. And it starts off completely sane and rational because they're like, it's a face wash. It's a body wash. It could be shampoo. It could be used for shaving lather. It could be bath soap, which to me is not different from body wash or any of that other shit. But, like, it's a list of. And then it starts going downhill because they're like, it could be toothpaste.
C
What?
B
It could be aftershave. You could use it to clear congestion from your sinuses. Also, it's a window cleaner and a toilet bowl cleaner. You can use it for mopping. You can use it to wash your fruits and vegetables. It's a plant and pest spray. Yes. It's a thing that if you spray it on plants or on the ground, it will keep insects away from those things. Who is doing all this shit? I am not using that as a toothpaste.
C
Yeah. To say it kills things, but you could use this toothpaste.
B
This product is doing too much shit. Okay, that's too many things. It's too bold. I do think it's worth noting that specifically, the one that grosses me out. Among the ones that gross me out is the toothpaste. It does specifically say, like, you could use it as toothpaste. It just tastes like soap. So don't do that. But you could use it for toothpaste.
C
Like, well, why the.
B
No, you couldn't then. Like, if you would use lots of stuff for toothpaste. If you don't, you don't care that it tastes like an ass. That's not what toothpaste is. Toothpaste has, like, a minty or a cinnamony flavor. It's supposed to be, like, good. This product is doing too much. And I want to talk about products that are out here doing too much because I feel like we live in a time where technology is going too far. And every, every new product that comes out is like, well, what if it just does everything? What if it's an air fryer and deodorant? Can we make that combination happen?
A
I was afraid you were bringing this up because you're gonna say something about me doing too much for a certain company. That won't be.
B
No, no, no, no, no.
A
I was gonna take offense to that.
B
Look, it worked out. You got me a GoPro. Is that not what you wanted to have happen? Because if it's not what you wanted to have happen, then I guess it really didn't work out that way.
C
It was a distractable. So we have a GoPro.
B
We got exactly what Mark wanted. I thought that was going great. I was not going to make fun of you for that. I want you guys to come up with products. And it could be like genres of products or could be specific things that are out here doing too much. I have another one on my list that I wanted to talk about because this is a different product that is listed and advertised by the company that makes it as having over 2,000 uses.
A
Holy shit.
B
And I have some quibbles with the nature of the list that this company has put together. But, but the product WD40, which is, if you've never used it or seen it, WD40 is like a spritzy can thing of. It's. I don't even know what technically it's called. It's not really a lubricant. Technically. It's for like, cleaning. I've always heard of WD40 used in the context of like, oh, if you, you can clean. Cleaning greasy things with it, clean it off, and then you apply fresh, you know, whatever. But WD40 is advertised. It's having over 2,000 uses. But their list is just a bunch. It has more than that because the list is. It lubricates ashtrays for easy sliding. It lubricates auto hood latches. It lubricates automatic seatbelt tracks. It lubricates automatic side view mirror. It could lubricate everything in the known universe. It has an infinite number of uses. If that's the list of shit it
A
can do, isn't WD40 not even a lubricant?
B
This is a common misconception. WD40 is not a lubricating agent. You should not rely on it as a lubricant. It is a solvent. I think technically it's great for cleaning things. It can be used as sort of like a penetrating oil or on rusty things. It does a lot. But one thing I would say it's definitively not, is a lubricant for anything.
C
Okay, but let's rewind. It's a solvent. Okay? And whenever we were in math class back in the day, they'd hand you with a word problem. What was the last time it was like, please solve. You can't have solvent without solve. Therefore, it's a solution. Therefore, it's the answer. So WD40 is just the answer.
A
Well, he's definitely not going to get points for this game because it's about doing too much, not defending it, dude.
C
Well, WD40 is not. You know what does too. Too much. You know what? Here's a point. Frank's Red Hot. What'd you put that shit on? Oh, that's right. Everything go.
A
Hey, I will not tolerate the Frank's Red Hot slander. It does one thing, which is hot sauce. It hot sauces things.
C
That's not what it says. You listen to the logo. I put that shit everything. Your kid crying breaks red hot. Out of lube. In the bedroom breaks red hot. Squeaky door breaks red hot. Out of windshield wiper fluid breaks red hot. I put that shit on everything.
A
All right, you know, okay, all right.
B
You know what? You actually just convinced me of something. And I swear to God, that might be the first time ever I was ready to jump all over you. I was going to interrupt you to be like, you're wrong. And you directly addressed my exact concerns and convinced me that you are, in fact, correct.
A
Correct.
B
That was an excellent argument, Wayne.
C
All it took was four years for me to get one right.
A
Every point in the past has been illegitimate. I hear it. I. I've heard it confirmed here.
B
Hey, I don't give points because I agree, okay? I give points out of obligation.
A
All right, I got an example of this. I never had this, but I had a different Bambu Lab printer. The Bambu Lab H2D, I think is the name of it, when it came out, was an example of doing too much. It tried. It brought for this. Everyone excited because, like, oh, it'll have two nozzles. Whoa. You could do so much with two print nozzles.
C
This will be great.
A
You could put sport film in. But then it was like the H2D multi nozzle AMS also, it's a laser cutter. You get laser cutters in there and it's just like everyone's like, huh? What? Like, no, we didn't ask for that.
B
40 watt.
A
You know you could get your lasers in your. Is like I wanted a 3D printer and it's like, it's not that the lasers laser. It's not that the laser cutter is a bad thing. We actually have a laser cutter or Jason has a laser cutter and we laser cut things all the time. But it's a separate machine because when you laser cut things, there's a lot of fumes and things because it's burning pretty much woods and metals and plastics. And you kind of want to make sure that's a filtered solution.
B
Well, don't you need special glasses too? Or so like lasers, you can't mess around with lasers, 3D printing, you, you need some stuff, but lasers, you need like like properly rated shit. Or you will burn your eyes out potentially. Right?
A
Like, so they have like different glass for the laser version of it to enclose it. Because there are these laser cutter enclosures and they usually have it. Xtool is like the example of the laser cutter company manufacturer that makes the laser cutter that we have. And it's not that this is a bad idea to have it. It's just like, why? Because they only had the other. Well, they had that and then the smaller, cheaper version of it. But it's like two nozzles would have been great. It would have been perfect. If it just jumped, jumped one nozzle, two nozzles, everyone would have been like. But they were like. And also it can do laser. It doesn't have to have a laser cutter, but it's also just like. Feels like it's doing too much.
B
I did, I did always think, I've just only recently actually got into 3D printing. But I've always been a fan and I always felt like. I get why they, they think the overlap of people who are into 3D printing and people who would use a laser cutter is probably pretty substantial. Right? Because if you're, if you're making stuff, if you're a maker, you probably would like both of those tools if you could have them. But if you're a maker who cares enough to have either a 3D printer or a laser cutter in your like arsenal of stuff, you probably want pretty specific things, I guess I thought. And those. This is like, this gives the vibes of that thing, you know, it's like a made for TV product where it's like, it slices, it dices, it peels, it juliennes. And it's like, well, it does all of those things. Kind of shitty, doesn't it? Like, because it's not any One of those things. Doesn't it do all of them? Pretty half assed compared to what a dedicated laser cutter would be doing. Or. I don't know, it just seems. It also just feels dangerous. 3D printing I have no fears about. And I know there's fumes and you have to be kind of careful and think about. But lasers is just a whole other level of like, I would not invite that into my house because I don't think I'm careful enough to use laser shit. Sure, it's all safe and enclosed, but that's, that's a good pandering answer because you know I love that shit. And you know I have Bamboo Labs products. Big fan.
C
Let's talk about the big one, duct tape. Duct tape is used to build tools. Duct tape and dungeon crawler Carl is used to build bombs. Duct tape can fix your car. Duct tape can build your house. Duct tape can patch your wounds. Duct tape is the glue that holds the earth itself together. I'm convinced if another meteor hits, will patch up the hole with the duct tape. That's what will keep us all around. Because duct tape. Is there a more important. Like, if you think about getting stuck on an island, is there an item other than like food or water that you could think that we have more use than duct tape?
B
I'm trying not to let my personal feelings about duct tape get in the way here because I love duct tape.
C
Yeah, same, but like, it's. It's got infinite uses.
B
I think the thing here is this might be the one and only product in existence where I think you're right, it's doing a lot. But I don't think you could say it's doing too much because I think it does everything good enough.
C
But that's where it's scary. It does do too much because we rely on it.
B
It's good though.
C
It is. Until it goes away.
B
The problem with all this stuff is like, well, I wouldn't want to use it for toothpaste. That's gross. Every duct tape use is like, yeah, you can use duct tape for that. That would work like, you'd, you know, it might not be as good as what you're supposed to use, but that would work fine. Duct tape would work fine for our purposes. Duct tape always works. I can't think of a situation where I'm like, oh, well, I wouldn't want to use duct tape for that.
C
But we become too reliant on it. No, but that's not how duct tape ever goes away.
B
Where it won't if we lose all of human history, duct tape will be one of the first things that we reinvent, because that's how we'll invent every
C
other thing, let's hope. But duct tape itself, as the brand trademark Sea Circle tm, we. We rely way too much.
B
Okay, well, if we're gonna talk about brands, that gets really complicated. Okay. Are you talking about the brand of duct tape that is put out by like, 3M, or are you talking about the brand.
C
Oh, I'm talking about Mr. Duct himself.
B
Duct tape, the brand whose mascot is a duck. This is. Don't get me started on brands of. Don't even get me started on gorilla tape, which some might argue is a superior version of duct tape tape.
C
Are gorillas superior to ducks? I don't know. I think that that's a complicated issue. Duct tape's uses, I agree, are great, but I think it is useful for too much. And we are too reliant on duct tape. Because if duct tape ever becomes, like, intelligent and leaves the planet and we have no more duct tape, then what are we going to do?
B
Mark, you're unbiased. Does he get a point for that one?
A
Man, I can see it both ways. Because, yeah, it's it. Because I bet the manufacturers, like, like, hey, this is for ducts. We made its duct tape, but everyone in the world's like, you can use it for repairing your boat, waterproofing, you
B
can put up your walls.
C
Broken nose duct tape, Annoying kid duct tape.
B
It's.
A
It's one of those things where it's like, is it really the fault of the manufacturer or is it. Or are they complicit? I think they're complicit.
B
I think they have adopted it. I think it's fair to say that. That clearly they originally didn't, but they are obviously now. Duct tape probably has a thing on their website that's like, it has 500 uses or more. Stick it. I stick that shit on everything.
C
Frank's duct Tape.
B
Frank's Red Hot duct Tape. Don't put it on your skin. Don't put it on your skin. Anything else, but don't. Don't put it on here. All right, I'm confused how exactly to spell it when I write it down.
C
P, D, U, C, K, T. The P is silent.
A
Huh? All right, I got. I got another one. It's a bit niche, but, you know, mine are always going to be tech based because of tech. Tech guy. So there's. There's a camera out there. Not, not talking about gopro I swear to it. There's something called a Ronin 4D, right? So the Ronin 4D is probably the textbook definition of doing too much. It's it. I have it. I have it because I was like, this seems like super cool. Oh man, it could be the future. It could the. Oh, this is the perfect camera. It definitely is an example of doing too much. It's not only a cinema camera, it's a built in gimbal with a z axis lidar with like, like hand grips from focus wheels. And it can auto focus with the lidar and it can have all this transmission out and it seems like it seems like on. On its sur is wow, this is really great. But the more and more I've gone down this cinema road, I have realized that there is a prohibitive nature to grabbing that camera when all I need is a shot. For most of film production or at least stuff that I do, the. The shots that I sometimes prefer are just on a tripod. I. It's bold that I just enter the movie sphere and I'm like, I get to have opinions here, but I feel like I do a little bit is like I feel like not every shot needs motion. Not every shot needs to push in. I really like the POV where something is bolted on to a car right where it's fixed. Stuck there, not moving. It even gets a little shake from the car too. I don't need a perfectly smooth yada yada all the time.
B
There are times when you need it.
A
There are times when you definitely need it. And the camera is like, it shoots good. I haven't really shot and used that much from it because again, it's like really hard to get all set up and every. All the bells and whistles working. And you know, I often find myself just not using it because of that. But it's useful. There's a need for it, but it's like it's just doing too much. It's trying to do all the things and it's super limiting in the number of lenses that you can use on it because it's like it has to be light enough to fit on there. So it's doing all this stuff and you still can't really use.
B
Yeah, it has interchangeable lenses. But the. For people who don't have pictures in front of you or our listeners, this is basically a camera. Imagine a camera as like, like, I don't know, like this, right. But bigger. A cinema camera is kind of like this GoPro. It's bigger, but the lens is a is a thing you can interchange on most nice cameras. But this camera would be like if this GoPro thing existed. But then the lens was like, up here. And so there's like the main body of the camera. But then the lens is maybe like a quarter the size of the main camera body. But it's like. Because it's gimbal, but so you can. Having an interchangeable lens on that would basically be like. Like constantly. Well, every time you change it, you change the counterbalance of the thing. That. Balancing gimbals is such a huge fucking pain in the ass when you're using gimbaled stuff. I assumed it was like a fixed lens, like a very.
A
They have their own lenses, but they only have like five. And it's like it can auto calibrate to what it is. But it's like, I wouldn't want to use those lenses anyway because they're kind of on the cheaper side and the lighter side. And yes, with gimbals, you have to rebalance. But these motors aren't strong enough to take the big lenses. So it's like you would need a stronger gimbal anyway to do a lot of this stuff. I feel like you're doing as much setup, but with the limitations. And yes, for certain people, this is like, oh, it's great like for them, but also it is doing too much.
B
That is a very niche but very interesting one. I like that. Well, and when I didn't realize this was a camera. Isn't Ronin also a line of DJI gimbals in general?
A
Yes.
B
Isn't that just like a. They make us. I don't know if it's a set or whatever, like a series of products, but it's a different thing, right?
A
Yes. So they have their Ronin series of gimbals. This is the Ronin Cinema camera. They have the RS series, which is the smaller form factor, but they've kind of scaled it up. But also they have. The Cinema standard is. The Ronin 2 is like, for most productions, they're like. The Ronin 2 is the stabilizer to use for smaller productions or whatever. But they haven't updated that in like 10 years. They don't. There's no Ronin 3. There's an RS5 now, I think. But I. I don't know. It's weird. It's a whole thing. It's like, you know, that particular camera. And I can say this because I have it and I'm like, I find myself. I'm probably going to sell it because it's just like, I do not use it enough to justify it.
B
Wait, give me something weird. Spray bottles expound.
A
Yeah, I made this expression listeners.
C
So you have a bottle, you put liquid in it, right? You spray spray water, water your plant plants. You spray poison, you can kill plants. You put in good smelling sprays. Good smelling sprays make your house smell good. You put in, I don't know, acid and sprays them on to melt them. It sounds crazy, but you could. You know what's crazy about the spray bottle is liquid. As long as it doesn't melt, the bottle goes in it. What's in the bottle? Hope it's labeled. Oh, you're reusing it afterward. Guess it's not labeled now. Hope I remember five years from now what I put in there for the niche use that it has bad. So spray bottles, they can be used for too much because there's too many variances of what liquids could be. Is it acidic? Is it base? Is it somewhere in between? Does it smell good? Does it smell bad? Does it keep things alive? Does it kill things? I don't know really hope me with my really memory remembers what I was using this particular spray bottle for. How thoroughly do I have to clean the bottle if I want to go from poison to live?
B
I think maybe just don't go that direction. Yeah, I think maybe maybe just if you just have one that's like that's the poison one.
C
Maybe that's you're relying on someone with a good memory or the labels. And again if you can reuse spray bottles then the labels don't mean anything because you can empty it out and then you just have an empty bottle, empty quote unquote. Besides all the murderous residue that lies inside waiting for the right moment to
A
escape when you Can I counterpoint this because I think like I you know I've kind of been on your side for the other ones. I might, I might say I have a better spray based thing that is actually much garden hose sprays. Why they got all those other dial settings that I don't use. Because a spray bottle, I'm like it's got two, it's well three maybe it's got on narrow and wide and I'm like I could see uses for all of and off and it's got, I could see use it for all those.
C
Well some of them have like the, the array of like little bigger as you go.
A
Well that's, that's what I'm talking. Like the garden hose spray has like I only use two. The lot of liquid or the far liquid or the Wide liquid. That's all I need. I need to. I need to go this. I need to go all the way over there, or I need to.
C
The garden hose. I have thumb or no thumb.
B
Man's. Man's never owned a sprayer.
A
The garden hose sprayer, some of the deluxe version, have, like, 40 settings that I gotta click all the way through all of them, meaning while my petunias are getting doused by every form of water there is. And before I get to the one I need, because the. The. The one I need is on the opposite dial of the other one.
C
But see, you have to hit some, like, plants with the real light spray, but some of the trees that really just want to know if they can take it, you have to hit with the harder spray so it makes sense.
A
That's what I'm saying. Those are the only ones I need. I need. I need mist.
C
The harder one.
A
Mist, shower, laser, laser, laser. And then open the damn gates. Flood. You know, that's the four I need. Maybe there's one more, but there's way too many dials. Setting.
C
Don't forget the fire hose.
A
That's. That's what I mean.
C
The.
A
The. The. The Goosher.
B
It does feel like someone was given that assignment, and the guy, whoever assigned it was like, give me eight sprays. And they were like, well, aren't there really, like, three tops? Like maybe four? And the. And his boss was like, eight sprays tomorrow on my desk. And the guy was like, okay, well, you got the ones everyone knows. And then what if there was. Was cone.
C
But see, this is tangential because, like, the direction and shape of the spray versus what you're actually spraying are related, but they're two different things.
B
Yeah, I guess I was jumping on marks because I. I'm having a hard time with the spray bottle argument. I feel like. Especially if you're talking about using up something that came in a spray bottle. You use the bottle of Windex, the Windex is gone. And then you keep that, and you're like, well, I. I put poison in this Windex bottle. How am I supposed to. Maybe you're not a person who's supposed to be multipurposing these things. Maybe once the Windex is gone, Wade should throw away the spray bottle.
C
I feel like this isn't about the personal use. This is about the product. And the product allows reuse at some point.
B
It's on you to know your limitations. It's not the spray bottle's fault. The spray bottle is not trying to be everything.
C
Does the Bottle say get rid of after emptying. I don't think it says that on there.
B
Probably. Are you k. Almost every product says please discard if damaged or when done using or whatever. Right. Because like, for liability, I'm sure.
C
Not in the title. It just says Windex.
B
Oh. So if you didn't read it, it doesn't say it. I forgot about that. Okay. Like, the thing about spray bottles is they can do a lot, but also that's. That's on you. They not. Windex is not like. And when you're done, fill it with hyaluronic acid and use it to spray your skincare regimen onto your.
C
What about the non labeled bottles you buy that are bottles.
A
You rip. You rip off the bottles of them or they come empty?
B
Well, they sell. They sell. I own some of those. They sell unlabeled bottles. Those are usually for a purpose. You know what my unlabeled bottles are for? I have one that I mix my, like, floor cleaning solution into because I have a big jug of floor cleaner that you're supposed to mix into a smaller thing. And I have one that I mix dish soap into because dish soap is really inconvenient to use unless it's diluted with water. And then you could spray it on the counter and clean water, whatever. But I don't have like 30 spray bottles with ran. I don't go to the cabinet and be like, let's pick a mystery spray and spray it on some stuff. Let's see what happens.
C
What about the spray bottle that is actually a nozzle. You hook up to a hose in order to spray the water and the product at the same time. Combining the two things that Mark and I are talking about.
A
No, I. I get. I'm now on Wade's side. If. If you can also entertain another in this in.
B
Okay, keep expounding. Yes.
A
I think electrical sockets are doing too much. You can plug anything into it. I can plug a hedge trimmer, a toaster, a Kilomatic 9000. I would be a fork. I could eat a fork. I could plug it right in. It's doing too much. I agree, Wade. It's. There's nothing on the plug that says don't plug in the nuclear explosion right in a. There, you know, the overload, the nuclear reactor nearby plug that I have. Don't ask me where I got it. But, you know, that's not doing too much. Very specific use for that. And then I plug it in and I'm dead and everyone's dead, you know,
C
and don't even get me started on the fact that you go over to Europe and it's a different shaped outlet that does the same thing. And then you've got the adapters like, oh, I've got to plug in my Australia plug, my Germany plug, my US plug, my Antarctica plug.
B
You're winning me over. You're winning me over. If we could entertain one more, you know what else it is doing the exact same kind of way too much.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
Vehicles. You can take vehicles anywhere in the known universe. Excuse me. You could drive a car on the road. Sure. On your driveway, in your garage, on the bottom of the ocean. What?
C
Troops into battle. Oversized load on the highway. Carry an actual. Another vehicle. Carry 10 other vehicles.
A
Some people sleep. Can you imagine?
C
Honk me, Mimi in a car.
B
Cars think that they're houses now.
C
Hold all those dirty ass soccer kids that are covered in mud.
A
You know who else is doing too much? The James Webb telescope. It thinks it can look at anything in the universe. It can point anywhere just looking. It's not even just one light spectrum. It's multiple light spectrums. I think when you come to infinite, you are definitely doing too much. You know? You know what I'm saying?
C
You know what else the human body does way too much. Reproduces. It eats, it poops, it pisses, it vomits. Makes earwax. It spits the appendix. Like, can we talk about that? What the.
A
Yeah, I know, right?
C
What are you doing? What are you doing there?
A
Little. It just dies. That's all it does. You know what else is doing too much? Electrons. Those little bastards are everywhere. They're in pretty much everything. Like, I think almost everything. Every element on the table. You're like, oh, they got different numbers. All electrons. It's electrons all the way through. It's doing all of it. It's trying to be everything, not. They don't even know where it is. It's in orbitals and arms. Gets excited. I don't want to know about that.
C
Swiss army knife. 1. Thought you were neutral. Why do you have an army?
B
2.
C
You a bottle opener. You're a wine opener. You're whittling. You're cutting, you're stabbing, you're twisting, you're pulling. You're a bop it of mercury. Murder for a country that's like, we love peace or whatever and cheese. I don't know what you're doing over there, Swiss.
A
I'm so glad you brought it up. Bop it. Not the three version, the five version. Ridiculous. It was already hard enough. You had infinite Difficulty escalation with speed. Going up on the original bopa, you do not need five. I don't need to twist it.
B
I definitely don't need to flick it.
C
Speaking of twisted, I'm glad you brought that up. Condoms. Are condoms there to stop pregnancy? Are they ribbed for her pleasure? Are they juiced for your pleasure? Are they liquefied for. Don't feel it. Are they extra solid for like made of wood? Tell me about these condoms.
A
Now. Bringing you distractible condoms. Ever wanted to not feel it liquid? It's just a bottle. Comes in a spray bottle. Cuz they can do anything.
C
The spray on condom. Why don't we just use duct tape?
B
Ah, the unremovable condom. I like that. No mistakes here.
A
Ever wanted to feel like you're an air duct? Get distractible band condoms.
C
And it's okay. You can just poke a hole so you can pee. Wait.
A
Don't you hate it when you're having sex and you're like I gotta go to the bathroom.
B
Just use your Swiss army knife Penis hole poker and just hit it with the old.
C
It's the round curly one. That's the one you want.
A
Penises do do too much. You got your. Your bladder evacuation and reproduction nonsense.
C
And speaking of the little curly. Talk about ducks. Those things are terrifying.
A
All right, man.
B
Well no. Everyone knows about duck penises. You don't know about duck penises, Mark.
A
I know. I know.
C
Why do you know about that? We covered everything. We covered everything.
A
That's everything, man.
B
Yeah, I think that was. I didn't know if we were going to be able to get through all of it. But I think we pretty much covered everything. That is doing too much. Don't do anything with this information. Keep using whatever products you normally use. Fine. Now that we've solved that problem that everyone in the world was so concerned about. Let's. Let's see who got points for what. I don't know what some of these things mean. Wade, in no particular order. You got points for not caring about James.
A
Wait.
B
Won't be. Won't be invited back. Which I think you said to Mark which made him sad. Apple jam jokes. Very funny. Not having a car. Still is this.
C
This episode. I don't remember anything.
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
This is Iron Lung Jack Messy Getting cider drunk off of one cider. Frank's Red Hot Duct Tape Spray bottles. James Webb Telescope Human Bodies. Bop it. Of murder. For a total of 11 points for Wade. Mark.
C
When did I not care about James? I don't remember that.
B
I was so Long ago. I don't remember, but it was in small talk.
A
I don't remember either. Yeah.
B
Mark, you earn points for commanding Sam in a firm but respectful way. Being sad about GoPro for no apparent reason. Can't remember what that was about. Lying about your trip to Apple being wonderful so that you could stay friends with Tim Apple, showing your cool picture from Reddit to Tim Apple, making me jealous because the Apple stuff you. I. We didn't talk about this, but I gave you a point because I thought it was impressive. Your car was six foot six. You were too tall to go somewhere, Mark. That must have felt pretty good.
A
It felt awkward, actually.
B
You got a point for being a bad YouTuber. You got a point for pointing out that The Bambu lab H2D was doing too much Ronin 4D electrons and the Bop It Extreme, which somehow the Bop it of Murder came up first about the Swiss army knife, and that led to marketing a point for the Bop It Extreme. But anyway, in a real shocker, Mark, you earned a total of 12 points.
A
Points.
B
It's not at all because I was jealous that you got to do some really cool stuff this week. It's because you earned it, Mark.
A
I think that the flaw of trying, of having a lot of things happen in life is that Wade can earn points on small talk, too. So if I don't come in with confident small talk, then if anyone makes a joke about it, I think that's an opportunity for points. So I'm strategizing for the future.
B
It's good to do that out loud in front of your opponents.
A
He'll forget. Don't worry.
C
You're right.
B
Let's see how many spins we're going to spin.
C
Man, the bar in the wheel. Man, my. My horrible streak continues.
B
All right, there's a chance two. Two is a good number for today.
C
One goes to Bob, one goes to me, and we have a tie.
B
I am adding to this wheel. Oh, I. I didn't really come up with this. I will say I had my notes like the person who did too much this episode, but that feels like one of those ones where every time it comes up, we're going to be like, I don't really know if anyone did too much this time. I don't know if that counts. And I want it to be actually hits. So just to. Just to make the small talk a little bit more meaningful on the points, point for whoever had the most small talk just has to be voluminous. Most small. Wait, that's confusing small talk.
C
There you go. Most small.
A
Hello.
B
So mark is winning 12 to 11. We have two spins.
C
All right, tying it up right here.
A
Wa. Boom.
B
Live points absolute.
A
All right, that's still good for me. That's still good for me.
B
So that counts as a spin. And nobody had any lie points. Yeah.
C
Yep. All right, all right, all right. Tie it up right here.
B
All right, let's not. Don't do that.
C
Let's bald.
A
My ass. My ass. My ass. My ass. That's why I always pay attention to what's coming up my ass.
B
He still hasn't said it, so I feel like it has to go to Mark.
C
My reading comprehension. The Y on the top was cut off. I was like, sav my ass. What does that mean?
B
I'll save. I'll save your ass.
C
I was like, save my ass. Oh, say, Mark going, my ass.
B
My ass. My ass. My ass. Didn't give you any hints?
C
Well, it did, but it was too late, so I just accepted the L. But I'm just trying to figure out why my brain thought the first Y was a V and the second one was a Y when they looked exactly the same.
A
I'll say, look at my ass, just in case that was part of the rule. I don't think it was, but just if some obscure Redditor out there is. Like, it was supposed to be about,
C
say, look at my.
B
You know what the thing about that is, Mark, is we don't give a.
A
Right. That's true.
B
Before we get into the loser speeches and wrap up the episode, did you guys want to take a look at the bounty board or anything? Did anyone have a bounty to. They want to cash in any. Any bounty actions today?
C
We have one of those now. We have a bounty board.
B
It's on the. Oh, it's on the Reddit. You don't go on, so I guess that's.
C
Oh, okay. I'll take a look at that. Yeah, I've got so many to turn in. I'm going to save them, though.
B
I. I honestly, I have plans already to execute on a few of these, but I have. I don't have one today. I'm the host, so. Kind of a waste anymore anyway, but I'm excited by the bounty board. Keep putting stuff out there. Check out the thread on the subreddit
A
because I probably have some.
B
Also, no one has taken the initiative. If you want us to spend the budget, the 600amonth allocation, we're going to need to see some democracy in the subreddit. Okay, I would like to see a discussion thread. I would like to see some proposals set forth. I would like to see maybe some votes taken. I don't know. We're not just going to. We're not just going to willy nilly do stuff, though. I need to see some consensus building. All right. I want to see some. Want to see some allies out there making stuff happen, because I do want to do that. It's not just on us. Okay. This is our show, Comrades. Yes. All that stuff I said I'm trying. I think we should build that in as like every episode we should do a little check in on the bounty stuff just to see. Also, that's the point where if someone was going to cash in a bounty and steal the episode, that feels like the moment where it's like, ah, five points for me. And then you or whatever we decided last time. Time it was like one point or two points, right?
A
Yeah. I can't remember where the cutoff was.
B
No bounty stuff today. Tonight. Today. Whatever. Wade.
A
Loser speech I want to throw out.
C
I think we forgot to do speeches last episode, but I think that's because we were just having. We were having a real talky episode. So it was. It's fine.
B
People were mentioning that on the subreddit. It's fine.
C
I think it's fine acknowledging that it happened. But like, I think we're all cool with that over here. So therefore you're cool with it. You know, it's been. It's been. Been nice getting outside. It was nice having the last episode where we got to open up a bit. It was nice hearing about Mark's crazy life again. In some ways, I'm like, oh, man, I'm jealous. I'd love to do all that stuff. At the same time, I'm like, you know, just getting outside and like going to the pool being, I don't know, just. Just simple things. I'm getting some enjoyment out of trying to just break the monotony of being here at the computer all the time. So honestly, it might be a loss of an episode, but it's been a win of a week and hopefully that continues and things are all on the ups for everybody.
A
Just, you know, my loser speech.
C
Just pushing the good vibes and we all have some good vibes.
B
Thanks, loser. Mark Winter speech.
A
Well, well, well. This is completely unexpected. Who would have thought that me would reign victory over there with my interesting, interesting life with all the things that I'm doing with the special groups that I'm part of when I go to these special events. That is actually very special. And just because I wasn't with. With all the other YouTubers. Doesn't mean that I'm not special. It makes me more special, I think because I've ascended beyond being just a YouTuber. I am now a filmmaker. And so I'm on another level entirely. And this victory solidifies all of that. I will use my judicial ability abilities to change the word abilities to abilities first. Second, to make sure that my. My titles are respected. And I will have a herald.
C
Herald.
A
Using the funds appropriated by our congress to buy me a herald to announce my arrival in every action. Like, much like a king. Not saying I'm a king, but, you
C
know, you can just buy people named Harold.
A
Yeah, it's my speech. I'm not done. Excuse you. Sam, please expunge him from the universe.
C
Sam, you're sponging me. He's an excellent.
B
All right.
A
Okay. So I'm done.
C
He's ascended beyond YouTuber.
A
He now super tuber.
B

Date: June 15, 2026
Hosts: Mark Fischbach (A), Wade Barnes (C), Bob Muyskens (B)
In "Doing Too Much," the Distractible trio (Mark, Wade, and Bob) dig into the joys and disasters of multitasking—both in life and in the world of tech and products. They share personal stories from an eventful week, recount hilarious travel and tech mishaps, and launch into a spirited debate about products that overpromise by trying to do everything. The episode is filled with offbeat anecdotes, banter about hardware, and their trademark self-deprecating humor.

Closing Moments:
Mark delivers an over-the-top winner’s speech about his “ascension” from YouTuber to filmmaker after his “special” Apple experience. Wade reflects on the joy of small wins and the importance of simple pleasures, like time with friends and family.
The episode is classic Distractible: off-the-cuff, irreverent, and brimming with inside jokes. The hosts riff on each other's egos, debate gadget absurdities, and turn even mundane stories (like parking or pool visits) into mini-sketches, blending technical talk with tangents about ducks, electrons, and spray-on condoms. Their long-form riffing is itself a mild satire on "doing too much," encasing substance in a shell of comedy.
This episode is chock-full of funny, bizarre, and relatable moments, offering a great snapshot of what Distractible does best: making the ordinary outrageously entertaining—and making you glad you’re not the only one overwhelmed by technology, life, and the occasional existential dilemma over duct tape.
