Distractible Podcast: "Friday the 13th"

Date: March 13, 2026
Hosts: Mark Fischbach, Wade Barnes, Bob Muyskens

---

Episode Overview

In this episode, the Distractible trio dives into the origins and cultural baggage of Friday the 13th, musing on superstition, unlucky numbers, movie lore, and their own personal tangents. Mark, Wade, and Bob riff on everything from ADR recording mishaps to buying entire villages in Maine, and spiral through math jokes, horror movies, and the glory/hassle of getting paid in actual physical checks. True to form, the conversation is both ridiculous and weirdly insightful—a mix of thoughtful curiosity, competitive ribbing, and pure chaos.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. ADR Mishaps & Movie-Making Realities

[02:19 - 07:50] Mark’s Segment

• Mark shares an anecdote about recording ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) for his film. Despite using "good" equipment, matching the imperfect on-set sound was tricky.
• Ironically, the take that fit best was recorded with the built-in mic on an Apple Studio Display:

  “Man, whatever mic you used for these last ADR was really good. It just melted right in. … And I was like, you motherfucker. That was on a monitor.” (Mark, 05:22)

• Takeaway: Sometimes, rougher recordings match the desired environment better than pristine studio sound.

2. Lifestyle Updates & Habit-Building

[08:11 - 11:11] Bob’s & Wade's Updates

• Bob is sticking to his New Year's resolution: walking a mile a day, now up to 58 miles.

  “It’s hard to get there with stuff… but it feels good that it kind of is now.” (Bob, 09:01)

• Wade’s "self-improvement" is daily flossing, which stuns Bob and Mark:

  “Nobody flosses once a day.” (Bob, 11:03)

3. Getting Paid by Physical Checks — In 2026

[11:25 - 16:21] Mark on Theater Revenue

• Mark reveals he gets paid from theaters via bundles of physical checks, managed by his longtime accountant, Mary.

  “Mary has to make trips to the bank with, like, bundles of checks this big.” (Mark, 12:33)

• Bob notes from a subreddit post that checks are actually "the least secure way" to deal with money due to all the info printed on them.

4. Town For Sale in Maine

[16:54 - 19:40] Tangent

• The group discusses buying a whole village in Maine for $5.5 million—with 25 structures and 50 acres.

  “We could buy this and then have a permanent town... The entire Distractible audience is going to live in this 50 acre spot.” (Mark, 18:22, 18:57)

• They joke about making it “Peen Town” and starting a cult.

5. Why is Friday the 13th Unlucky?

[19:46 - 29:15] Main Segment (Prompted by Host Wade)

• Wade launches the investigation into why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky.
• Mark and Bob offer several takes:
  • Norse mythology: 12 gods at dinner, Loki (uninvited, 13th guest) causes the death of Balder, turning 13 “unlucky.”
    (Mark, 26:14)
  • Christian traditions: 13th at the Last Supper is Judas.
  • Pop culture: horror movies (Friday the 13th franchise), and the association with bad luck.
• Mark: “I’ve never picked up that 13’s unlucky, but 17 is a waste of a year. 16, you could drive. 18, you’re an adult. 17, just a number in between.” (25:25)

Notable Quote

“There is always at least one Friday the 13th per calendar year, but it can be as long as 14 months between two Friday the 13ths…” (Mark, 28:39)

6. The Math Rabbit Hole

[35:00 - 40:25] Mark, Numbers, & Nonsense

• Mark reads about “happy numbers,” “perfect digital invariants,” and “narcissistic numbers” from Wikipedia, to everyone’s increasing confusion and delight.
• This includes a deep-dive example of how 13 is a “happy number” and a rambling definition involving logarithms, brackets, and “sociable digital invariants.”
• Bob: “Your mom’s a non trivial perfect digital invariant.” (38:48)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Scary Movies:

  “Filmmaker Markiplier blasts new Scream movie for not even being scary. Quote: whatever.” (Bob, 21:40)

• On Flossing:

  “Yeah, but nobody flosses once a day.” (Bob, 11:03)

• On Writing Checks:

  “Who the fuck has stamps?” (Bob, 15:43)

• On Buying a Town:

  “Just five and a half million dollars and you could own your very own town… not you, Mark—like, listeners…” (Bob, 19:09)

• On Math Definitions:

  “I just don’t know what this is trying to prove. ... I hate mathematicians.” (Mark, 38:37, 38:48)

• On Life & Winning:

  “My life is terrible. And that’s how I keep winning. The worse it gets, the more I win. This is all I have.” (Bob, 47:53)

Episode Tone & Takeaways

Distractible shines when the discussion is both unexpectedly informative and completely off the rails. The episode is packed with asides and snark, but still weaves in genuine insights about sound design, superstition, the absurdities of modern finance (physical checks in 2026!), and even number theory.

For those who missed the episode:

• You’ll come away knowing more about ADR, happy numbers, the mythic roots of unlucky 13, and the surprising complications of being paid in the 21st century.
• You’ll also witness how three friends riff so hard that a genuine history lesson turns into a meme-fueled math spiral by the one-hour mark.

Memorable Episode Verdict:
Find someone who looks at you the way Bob looks at scientific uselessness, Mark at niche sound equipment, and Wade at bundles of obsolete checks.

Welcome back to another episode of Distractable. I'm today's host because fate solid fit to be. So joined as always by my co hosts Mark and Bob. This is the show where one of us hosts the other two compete performance. Whoever has the most at the end gets to win and host the next one. Hi, guys.

[C]

Hello.

[B]

Hi. All right, that's all I had. That's all I had in my script. So you guys talk now. What's up? What's new?

[C]

That's the whole. That's the whole episode.

[B]

That's the episode. And we're done.

[A]

I mean, I've got a interesting little tidbit about the movie that not many people would know. Great Apple just announced this whole new line of things. One of them, which is a new display which is very expensive and I'm not saying I recommend it, but I will. I will say this. There are certain moments in the movie where you need adr. ADR stands for. Oh, sure sure, yeah. It's where you record a line that wasn't captured on set either because it wasn't captured well, or you're trying to replace a dialogue or sneak something in.

[B]

Right.

[A]

So there's a couple of moments where it is. And the trouble with ADR is that it stands out if it's not done well.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Usually in the circumstances, I'm working with Brad the sound guy and he's got a good microphone, we're in a good sound environment. And I've done it on my own during the edit where I've like, I've got, I've got access to good microphones, I've got good sound environments. I know how to do that and I know how to record. So I've done ADR through a couple times throughout the movie where I've done it with like this condenser mic which is, you know, it didn't work because, you know, we didn't have this type of mic on set. So clearly that isn't right. So I got the exact shotgun microphone and lav that we had on set and I tried that and it still wasn't quite a perfect match. But you know, Brad was able to massage it a bit better. And then I got really high end, like shotgun mic that was a stereo mic. And I'm like, okay, let's try to try something else here. Funky. And didn't get well. Well, I gotta tell you on that one of the final passes of the edit, I recorded some temp stuff because I was like, I'm not even gonna worry about it. I'm not even gonna try to make this match. I'm not gonna set up my big microphone. There's a microphone in this mon. I'm just going to record it. Temp. So I have it and I know to replace it. It'll sound so bad that it'll be so easy to replace. Gets over to Brad, he messages me or when I show up there for this final stage, like, man, whatever mic you used for these last ADR was really good. Like it just melted right in. It was perfect. It just sat so good in there. And I was like, you motherfucker. That was on a monitor. It was a monitor's microphone built in. It was one of Apple studio displays. And that's not to say that that's the greatest microphone ever. But to remember, and this is important about ADR is if you're recording stuff on set, you have to remember that that is not a perfect sound environment. Especially the iron lung. The sub is literally A barrel. Right. It's got reverb. There's no sound dampening. It's kind of a knockly environment. There's also in a warehouse, you know, kind of like bleeds out, bleeds in. The thing about that microphone is like, it's just shitty enough that it replicates the. The kind of bad environment. And it's important because the size of the room I was recording was just a regular bedroom, but it kind of is roughly the size of that room. It's not barrel shaped, but, you know, so it's important to remember it's not about the best, highest quality equipment that you could possibly get, especially when you're doing adr, because you didn't. You might have had good equipment, but you didn't have a controlled environment when you're recording it on set. And almost all of the stuff in the movie still sounds good because it just has that room. And if you have a clean room with no reverb, it's not going to sound as good.

[C]

Good.

[A]

Because, well, it won't sound right because it won't match everything else. Right. Okay, there you go. That's my lesson about.

[C]

I do like that. That's very funny. I've definitely watched movies and TV where they're like, the. The dialogue has a certain quality to it. And then you get to a moment where they clearly did it, did some ADR or to put something in, and they're like, then we go outside.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

What the.

[C]

It's not even like it's bad audio. It's just like jarring. But there's nothing happening but a person talking. But you're like, did we just teleport? Did we time travel? What happened?

[B]

Some water along in my ear.

[A]

Yeah. I've heard of situations where actors sometimes refuse to go into an ADR studio to go do something, and they just record it on their phone. And sometimes they're a bad ADR just because the actor didn't or couldn't make it into a sound booth. But at the same time, working with Caroline, who's Ava in the movie, I think I can say her name now. I would sometimes say, you know, you could just record this on your phone. It's going to come through a shitty. It's going to sound like a shitty speaker anyway. So it might work for her. She's like, no, no, no, I'll make time. I'll go to the studio. It's no problem. And I'm like, all right. Like, I totally respect the, the work ethic and admiration for it. And I'm like, I want you to have a professional environment.

[B]

So then you played her voice on a speaker and recorded on your phone anyway?

[A]

Yes, exactly. And then I played it again, and we use that to get in there anyway. So it's. Sound is funny. Sometimes the amount of nuance that people can pick up, especially of, like, bad sound, quote unquote spaces, is not bad. It's natural to that space. And I think that if I'm going into future projects, I got to keep that in mind. Bad sound isn't bad if it fits what it's supposed to be. And setting yourself away from the highest quality things can allow you to see the options that are there that I never would have considered because it is a goddamn microphone in a monitor.

[C]

You would never even have used that accidentally. It's weird that that came up and it wasn't like you recorded on your phone or some YouTube setup or something. You were just like, whatever, this thing, it's plugged in. Let's do it.

[A]

It's plugged in. That's all I said.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it. And it. It literally sounded exactly like we. We captured it on set. It was crazy. And it was only for a couple lines there, but. Yeah, that's cool, though.

[B]

I mean, I thought he was being sarcastic. Like, I thought the whole setup was. He was being sarcastic. That's why you fired him?

[A]

No, no. Well, yes, I fired him along with the VFX team. And literally everybody retroactively fired everybody.

[C]

That way you didn't have to pay in their bonuses.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's the old man. You know, me.

[C]

And also, I have things going on.

[B]

Great. Because it's your turn.

[C]

Oh, that was my full update.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[C]

It's been the walking. I saw a post on the subreddit of someone who was like, bob's walking a mile a day this year. And I was like, that's a good idea. And then I realized that according to their Apple Watch, they already walk like two, two and a half to five miles a day because of work or something. And they were like, well, I'm just going to walk more. I think their goal is like 10,000 steps a day. But it's working and I am keeping up. It's been difficult. We traveled and we had other stuff going on, but as of right now, I can get the actual. Nope, it's not going to happen. There it is. I have 58 miles under my belt, and I believe that's approximately the right number of days in this year. So I'm still on Track, which is exciting.

[A]

That's awesome.

[C]

It's getting. It's getting to the point now where in the beginning it was exciting. And I definitely got into the point where it was like, oh, this sucks. We're traveling. I don't want to do this. And I'm starting to finally get back into a rhythm. And it's getting to that point where it's like, I'm succeeding. I just need to make it till the end of the year. Like, I'm getting. It's a habit. So it's not. Like, it's not new and exciting, but I'm, like, invested in it now, which feels good. It's hard to get there with stuff, especially stuff that's like. Exercise is just not a core part of my habitual routines in any way. But it feels good that it kind of is now. And if I keep going, like, it'll build and maybe I'll do more than just walk a mile, hopefully. But that's, you know, keeping the mile a day thing is feeling really good, which is not unsurprising, Little surprising. But I'm glad it's working.

[A]

Yeah. From what I've learned about when I hated running to when I was okay with running and I still don't like running is so long as you sit in the point where you think you could do more and you don't push yourself too soon to go to the next step, you'll always stay in that kind of. I'm okay with this. You just don't want to be in the I hate everything about everything stage. But I'm not even exercising.

[C]

It's a. It's an easy trap. Like, I get on social media and stuff. I get things, you know, influencers, fitness people, where it's like, oh, I could do that. What if I add. And I'm. And part of me is like, oh, no, keep. Build the habit. Don't add too much. But then my other part of my brain is like, you lazy fuck, you could be way more. What are you talking about? And I'm like, no, no. Right. We're still like, we're sticking to a mile, maybe a couple miles. We're sticking to doable until it's a habit. And then because I 100%, if it becomes a thing where I'm like, oh, I hate this, I stop doing it. I'm awful at maintaining habits like that until it's, like, ingrained. This might be the longest I've ever stuck with a New Year's resolution. It was pretty good. It's Progress.

[B]

It was really good. Best I can relate is I've been a lot better about flossing my teeth. Like, brushing. I do. Flossing was, like, once or twice a week, but I've been flossing at least once a day.

[C]

That's a lot of flossing. Jesus.

[B]

I've been doing it.

[C]

Yeah, but nobody flosses once a day.

[B]

I know, but I actually, like, have been.

[C]

When I floss once a week, I'm like, all right, close enough.

[B]

I don't know why or whatever reason, but I've just been doing it more.

[C]

Yeah, well, it's all good. Taking care of ourselves is good, because you know why?

[A]

We're not getting younger.

[C]

It's actually what my next episode's gonna be about.

[A]

Can I also say one thing that is very funny that I'm discovering?

[B]

No. Yeah, go ahead. What's up?

[A]

Are you sure?

[C]

Are you sure you want to hear Cut. Recording. Mark, just tell me. I'm interested.

[A]

This is one of those things where it's like, even talking about this, I can tell it could cross over into me being pompous and weird and elitist and whatnot. But I find it very funny because the movie came out, so theaters are paying their share. I've talked about that before on interviews and stuff. It's like a 50, 50 split between theaters and me for the pay minus the percentage that Centurion Films, the people helping out the small company with the small theaters, think they're sending checks. Almost all of them are sending physical checks. Each individual theater. So that's how I operate.

[B]

Still. Is that bad?

[A]

Do you write checks?

[C]

I actually have a follow up on that, Wade. I have an interesting follow up from the subreddit on that. But, Mark, continue your story. They're sending you physical checks for some fucking reason.

[A]

And it's not even a problem that I have to deal with, but it's a problem that my accountant has to deal deal with. Because Mary is her name and she's great. We've been working together for years and years and years now.

[C]

I know Mary. She's the best.

[A]

Yeah, Mary's the best, right? So Mary has to make trips to the bank with, like, bundles of checks this big. And I'm like, do you need, like, security or something? Do you need someone to help you with it? And it's like, they're. They're. They're. It's really wonderful. It's so cool, like, getting paid. And obviously, I would give a bonus to the crew. And this is great. The dollar amounts Are kind of make your mind explode sometimes. But I haven't seen a picture of it. But it's a visual imagery of just like a bundle of checks.

[B]

There's some blowing away because she just can't carry them all.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Anyway, it's 20, 26 and they're still sending checks, which is perfectly valid. It's a very okay thing to do, I think. It's just funny.

[C]

Mary's office is like that scene from Harry Potter where they're trying to get him the invitation to Hogwarts.

[B]

The owls are.

[C]

She's like in the, in the office. Like, fuck. Oh God.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. So it's, it's, it's an interesting time because right now is like a month after the movie came out, which is weird to think. Like, I feel like it's been out for months now.

[C]

That is crazy. It still feels like it just happened,

[A]

but it's been just about one month. Which, you know, things usually get paid on a. On a next month basis. So it's a fun, novel thing that I am experiencing.

[C]

That's so silly. And Wade the subreddit, a banker wanted you to know using checks is actually the least secure way you can deal with money in the modern world. Because on a check is your bank account, generally your full name and address, any information they might need to fully impersonate you. And also, apparently thieves, whatever, forgers, whatever they are, can just take a check that you've written for some actual thing and wash the ink off or whatever, wash it, whatever that means, and then just make it a check to themselves from you.

[B]

I thought it was weird that I bought an island in the middle of the Pacific.

[C]

So anyway, you're wrong and you should stop with that and so should movie theaters. How. Who wants to write a check? I don't even know if I have physical checks. If someone, if I had to do something and they were like, oh, you need to write a check, I'd be like, ah, nevermind. Whatever this is, I'll figure it out. I'll go somewhere else. That's fine.

[B]

All right. I'll make a note of that. I'll still do it. Some companies you have to like, there's no online payment, so like they force you to.

[C]

I have zero interactions with companies that require me to send them physical money.

[B]

We had like a lawn care company come through because we had like a couple trees go down and whenever they sent the bill, like the only option to pay them was mailing a check.

[C]

That's like my first question when I hire like Someone to work on the house or like, do, like, fix, you know, whatever, handyman, whatever. I give the reviews and then I message them and I'm like, hey, can you fix a broken sink? And also, do you take digital forms of payment? And if the answer to either of my questions is no, I'm like, ah, it fixed itself and talked to the next one.

[B]

I've never thought to ask that follow up. I'm always like, review good. You do good job. You know what tree is? You can remove tree. Great. We work together.

[C]

That's crazy, man. That's crazy work. I could never.

[B]

It's not hard. Writing a check really is not that difficult.

[C]

I mean, I know how to do it. The problem is not that it's difficult. The problem is why the fuck would you want to do that? It's such a pain. That means you gotta mail. It means you have to have stamps. I don't have stamps. Who the fuck has stamps?

[B]

Oh, we got some Betty whites right now. And I forget the other one. We got some stamps.

[C]

You have kinds of stamps. What? You're in the wrong generation, man. Are you as old as you look?

[B]

Yes, man.

[A]

He's been insulting the host so much this episode. Usually. That's devastating.

[C]

Wait, Mark's not hosting? Ah, that's right. Damn it. No. Anyway, I mean, do what you want. I don't actually care, but I. I just think it's crazy that the there so. Because you're not the only one. There are still so many people and in clearly industries like the movie theaters or whatever that use paper checks.

[B]

And I'm like, I should be working with the movie industries. Mark, you cut down trees. I will take your checks. We'll switch roles.

[A]

We will buy a movie theater.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

No, wait. You would be perfect to run the movie theater. Mark was right.

[B]

If all I have to do is sit back and write checks, yes, I'm your man.

[C]

Apparently. That's a huge part of it.

[B]

Huge.

[C]

That's one of the biggest things movie theaters do. They show movies and then they write checks.

[A]

I mean, it's got to be because they're writing to all the different movie companies. Like if they're showing a bunch of them.

[B]

I'm not going to lie, Bob. I thought you were about to tell Mark about the town.

[C]

No, I wasn't going to bring that up. That's. Well, now you did.

[B]

Yeah, I guess I did.

[C]

What?

[A]

The town.

[C]

I feel like you have to tell them about it now.

[B]

So there's apparently a whole town for sale.

[C]

It's a village yeah, it comes with

[B]

a church, some houses, some other stuff.

[C]

It's in Maine. And what? It had like 26 structures or something.

[A]

Wait, 6 million? For how much stuff?

[C]

For a whole village.

[A]

A whole village?

[C]

A whole little cute little town up in Maine. $6 million. It had like 20. It had like 30 structures. 26, 30. Some number of buildings. Houses, like Wade said. Like, there's a church.

[A]

Oh, my God. It's not 6. It's 5.5. 25 structures. 50 acres.

[C]

Oh, and you know what we could put in that town?

[A]

A movie theater. Wait. It's delightful. Also, it looks fake. There's this, like, facade of what looks like a row of garage doors. Have you seen this?

[C]

I didn't really look at it. What's it called? What did you search?

[A]

If you just scroll down some, it looks like. Oh, this is charming. It's charming. Charming. And then get to like the fifth picture that just says garage. Wait a minute.

[C]

Whoa. Wait.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

What the.

[B]

What?

[C]

It's a realtor.com article. Charming antique village in Maine for sale. But that is just actually a facade of a fake. It's like a fake stable house. It's just the front wall. That's really what.

[A]

I've never seen anything like it.

[C]

But like the rest, tons of these look super awesome. Some of these have cars parked in front of them, like people live there. I don't understand what this is exactly.

[A]

We could buy this and then have a permanent town. Things in forever.

[B]

Oh, my. DM over at Lost Initiatives when he told me about this and he's like, you could tell Mark he could film there or he could.

[C]

I was like, they have a pond. We could do our boat episodes on the pond.

[A]

Oh, moving to Maine.

[C]

Peen house. Peen Peen town. Pean town.

[A]

We're really upgrading, guys. We're going to have a Kickstarter going for no other reason than to give us money so that we don't have to spend our own money.

[B]

Oh, I hope they take checks.

[C]

It'll be a great investment for anyone who wants to send us a paper check in the mail. Like it's 1937. Yeah.

[A]

The entire distractible audience is going to live in this 50 acre spot. I think we can make it work. Taxes will be crazy high.

[B]

Can we start a cult? Start?

[C]

Yeah. Just five and a half million dollars and you could own your very own town. Not you, Mark. Like listeners, you could own your very own village in Maine called Tuffle. What's it called? Tuthill.

[A]

Tuthill. Do you think Ethan knows this Place. It's, it's. He was in Maine, right?

[C]

He's from Maine. He's a Maine boy, Right.

[B]

He was probably born here. Well, there you have it. Some of you can look it up and see what we're talking about. The rest of you, just use your imaginations. Hopefully no aphantasia. I'm fine.

[C]

Hopefully no amphetomaniacs.

[A]

Everyone slam your amphetamines. Get ready. The episode's about to go wild.

[B]

It is. Because do you know what I think today is? If I did my math correct, Friday the 30s. That wasn't as creepy as. It was more weird than creep. Editors make me creepy.

[C]

I'm scared.

[B]

So other than the franchise Friday the 13th, right. We all know Jason Voorhees and all that, and his mom and whatever. Why the hell is Friday the 13th a thing? Why is that franchise? Why Friday the 13th? Like, what's the deal with Friday the 13th? What we're gonna do is we're going to dig deep. We're investigative reporters, and by we, I mean you too. And you're going to just let me know. Why Friday the 13th? Why is 13th bad? Why Friday the 13th? Why not Tuesday the 13th? I want to know all the things about 13. Friday the 13th. Luck, unluck, misfortune, anything tangentially related.

[A]

Tangent. I call tangent rights.

[B]

Ok, Bob, Sign and cosign are still available. Math jokes.

[C]

That's funny. Wade.

[A]

Scream7 saw that. Great.

[C]

What do you mean, saw that? Is that new?

[A]

I saw it.

[B]

Oh.

[C]

Do you have any thoughts?

[A]

I. Look, I. Do I have any more opinions on horror movies now that I've made one. Can I officially have stronger opinions about that?

[B]

You're a professional. Yeah. You're.

[C]

You made the number one horror movie in America and definitely Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

[A]

That's true. That's very true. Scream 7 did they do. Friday the 13th is with Jason, right. Not with Michael Myers.

[B]

That's Halloween.

[C]

Halloween, Halloween.

[A]

And then Scream seven is. But those are like the three, right?

[B]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre has Leatherface. Scream has Ghostface.

[A]

No, but I mean, like of the same era, Right? Didn't they all come out roughly the same? No, Scream 1 came out later.

[B]

Scream is 90s. You're thinking of your Nightmare on Elm Street.

[C]

Yeah, Nightmare on Elm street and, and Halloween and Friday the 13th.

[A]

I would never mind. This has nothing to do with anything. I, I think it was a, I, I, it was, it was a movie.

[B]

Great.

[C]

This just in. Filmmaker Markiplier blasts new Scream movie for not even being scary. Quote, whatever.

[A]

Slam Scream 7.

[B]

I'll give you a point, Mark. It just says scream 7. Equals. Exists. This is from an expert in horror movie making.

[C]

That's math. I can honestly say I've never actually watched a whole Scream movie start to finish.

[B]

Oh, the first one was really good. The second one, I mean, I remember enjoying the first few.

[C]

It's a horror movie. It's a scary movie, right? Scary. Yeah, yeah, pass. You guys would probably judge me very harshly for the movies I have not seen because they are scary and I don't watch scary movies.

[B]

The Notebook.

[C]

Dude, that's the most terrifying movie I have seen. The Notebook. I fucking hate it because my mom's mom had Alzheimer's and that is one of my greatest fears in existence. I think we've talked about that. That's one of my biggest fears in life, is that I'm going to lose my mind and forget the people who care about me and forget like that. Actually, that movie actually does, like. It's supposed to be like a love story, whatever, and it's kind of sad, but that movie makes me more depressed and terrified than anything I've ever watched. And I hated.

[B]

Then you'd be fine with scream 1.

[C]

Pass.

[B]

Okay. Thought I had him there. Thought I had him there.

[C]

I feel like I probably should watch that, though. Like, sort of in the. It's sort of in the lexicon.

[B]

I've.

[A]

I've only ever seen Scream 7 now. That's the only one I've seen.

[B]

Oh, God. Okay, podcast out. We're go watch some Scream movies together, you know.

[C]

You know why everyone hates Friday? It's because that's when all the scary movies come out. Come out on Friday.

[B]

Is that true?

[A]

Except for Thursday, where they have preview night, but that's officially. Every theater does it.

[C]

That's not the release, though. The. The release date is on Friday.

[B]

I tried to see Iron Lung on a Thursday, but it was sold out.

[C]

In like a couple more decades. Could be like, the movie comes out on Friday. See early release screenings Tuesday night.

[B]

That's like Black Friday sales. That then became Thanksgiving. That then became the D before Thanksgiving. Wasn't there an ice cube series that was called, like, Friday or something?

[C]

I'm having a memory of something that was. I feel what you're. I feel what you're rememberizing.

[A]

I have an update. Breaking news. Triska Decephobia. Triskaidekaphobia. That's the fear of 13 and then fear of Friday the 13th is called Paris Cavidcatrophobia.

[C]

Can I just say I typed Triskai decophobia into Google and spelled it right on my first attempt.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Can I just say that?

[A]

Holy shit.

[C]

Wait, why is this in Spanish?

[B]

Como?

[A]

You spelled the Spanish version of it?

[C]

I typed it into Google. I just typed triskaidekaphobia. And Google's AI overview is la triskaidekaphobia es el miedo averzion. Or I don't speak Spanish, so ignore the pronunciation. Why is it in Spanish?

[B]

It's like I'm in Spain right now.

[C]

AI always works. That's why it's everywhere. It's so, so good.

[A]

There's also pariskevideka triophobia, there's friga tree sky decophobia, which is Old Norse for The fear of 13, which is 13 in ancient Greek, and phobos, which is fear. That's where the doll in the original.

[B]

Sorry, I was really allergic to Norse.

[C]

Old Norse doesn't seem like that bad of a number to me. Like, I know that that's the. That's the superstitions. And, like, that's just. Seems fine. Seems like a fine number. I feel like there are way worse numbers.

[B]

Two of the best years I ever had playing basketball. My number was 13 and 22. So those have always been numbers I've liked.

[C]

17 seems like a terrible number to me. 17 has a bad vibe about it and I don't care for it, but nobody gets all up in a twist about 17. They're all focused on the wrong one.

[A]

I feel like I've never picked up that on 17. I don't. Then again, I haven't really picked up that 13's unlucky, but 17 is a

[B]

waste of a year. 16, you could drive. 18, you're an adult. 17, just a number in between.

[A]

17 is just a number.

[B]

I feel like I'm walking closer to a moral area I don't want to go to with words like that.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, that's what.

[B]

After Mark's reaction, I was like, maybe

[A]

I can see the headline now. Way distractible co host says 17's just a number, everyone.

[B]

16, you can drive. 18, you're an adult. 17, just the number I have on

[A]

the unluckiness of 13. According to the Wikipedia, one source mentioned for the unlucky reputation of the number 13 is a North Norse myth about 12 gods, which has been said is like the perfect number.

[B]

I don't know why Tyler loves the number 12.

[A]

Oh, he does. Yeah. That's true. Having a dinner party in Valhalla, the trickster God Loki, who was not invited, arrived as the 13th guest and arranged for Whore.

[C]

Whore.

[B]

Excuse me.

[A]

The God of darkness. Oh, H O with two dots. O with a whole fucktonary of things above it. And R, the God of darkness to shoot. Balder, the God of joy and gladness with a mistletoe tipped arrow.

[C]

Balder.

[A]

I saw this in God of war, triggering much suffering in the world which caused the number 13 to begin to turn unlucky. Coincidentally, the Christian association of this Same Dinner with 12 disciples and the 13th being Judas. I didn't know the similarities between those

[B]

two mythologies and the movie 13 Ghosts with the guy who played Monk and

[C]

the movie Thirteen Candles and the movie

[A]

Jim Carrey's the number 23 minus 10.

[B]

Oh, I remember the sequel. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, there's that Katherine heigl chick flick 13 dresses.

[A]

13 going on 30.

[B]

The Disney sequel, 13 Dalmatians left.

[A]

Oh fuck.

[C]

Who could forget the classic M. Night Shyamalan movie 13 cents.

[B]

I think dead people.

[C]

I sneeze dead people. It's when you feel a sneeze.

[A]

What about my favorite Stephen King book turned into movie Shawshank 13.

[C]

Oh, I thought you were talking about it's 13.

[B]

What was that movie on the boat with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet? Tit 13.

[A]

I loved the green 13.

[C]

The Eminem movie, 13th mile.

[A]

That's all I don't have anymore.

[C]

Guys, I got a meme. Did you know the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship happened on Friday, January 13, 2012?

[B]

I did not. Coincidence?

[C]

I think not. Or no, I do think is the correct inverse of that statement. I think is then I would have thought.

[B]

I think so, but I guess is.

[A]

Okay, this is a funny thing.

[B]

I was just preparing myself.

[C]

Wait, keep your real laugh to yourself. It's terrifying. God, I hate that.

[B]

Fundy.

[C]

No.

[A]

Okay, just wait till I say the thing, man. Just wait, you'll see. All right, there is always at least one Friday the 13th per calendar year, but it can be as long as 14 months between two Friday the 13th. But there will always be be one. Except that it could be 14 months in between each one.

[B]

So if one was in December, 14 months later would skip a year.

[C]

Though one could be in March and then one could be in November or something. Right?

[A]

But it says that there at least Wikipedia is saying that there will always be 1 Friday the 13th per calendar year.

[B]

Also, Friday the 13th has never fallen on a Monday.

[C]

Is that just true of every day and every number of the month? Is that one of those things where you read it and you're like, wow. And it's like, oh, wait, That's. That's just how numbers work.

[B]

I do. See, there was a book that came out in the early 1900s about Friday the 13th, which apparently maybe added to the superstition about it.

[A]

What about a baker's dozen? A Baker's dozen is 13 items. But that's good thing. Why do bakers have immunity to the curse of 13?

[B]

Well, because bakers are good, and dozen is good. Therefore, you put them together, and it makes something bad. Two positives make a negative. Right?

[C]

I see what Mark's getting at.

[A]

Bakers are evil.

[B]

You want to rebrand Friday the 13th just to make it a little more palatable. But they were born. Ah, April Baker's Dozen, 1902. I'm very old.

[C]

We know.

[A]

Oh, wait. Okay, wait. No, it's not as good. Hold on a second. Baker's dozen might actually also be cursed. There are a few theories as to why Baker's Dozen became 13, but the most widely accepted one has to do with avoiding a beating. In medieval England, there were laws related to the price of bread and the price of the wheat used to make it. Bakers who were found to be cheating their customers by overpricing undersized loaves were subject to strict punishment, including fines or flogging. Even with careful planning, it is difficult to ensure that all of your baked goods come out the same size. There may be fluctuations in rising and baking and air content. And many of these bakers didn't even have scales for fear of accidentally coming up short. They would throw in a bit extra to ensure that they wouldn't end up up with a surprise. Flogging later seems bad. So even in a baker's dozen, which I thought as the recipient is a good thing, it's the baker's trying to avoid a bad thing.

[C]

Well, they shouldn't try and screw us out of that extra money, should they? I told you, bakers are evil.

[A]

I've always thought this. What are they up to back there?

[C]

Also, don't. Well, some donuts are baked, but, like, a lot of donuts are fried, right? Is that still a baker? It's not a baker's dozen. It's a friar's dozen, which is just 12.

[B]

I don't know. I just think back to Beauty and the Beast.

[A]

There goes the baker with her tray.

[B]

Like always, the fear and trepidation in the voice that she. The song is saying.

[A]

I don't remember that line at all. Where was that in the movie? Give me a timestamp.

[B]

Oh, very early. It's whenever Belle's walking Around, like, the town, everyone loves her and stuff. I actually don't know any other lyrics to that song other than that I

[C]

don't know many of the lyrics, but that that movie is forever tainted by. Redacted for me because there was an episode of Unus Annus where for some reason, you and Ethan were. I think you were making a whole shitload of eggs or something. You were doing something, and in the middle of the episode, out of nowhere, you were just like, no one fucks like Gaston. No one cooks like Gaston.

[A]

I'm especially good at ejaculating.

[C]

Yes. Ruined forever.

[A]

Ah, good times. Good times.

[C]

Have we answered your question, Wade?

[B]

You have not, because there's, still, like, 15 minutes left.

[A]

What was the question? Now bring us back.

[B]

Okay, we've covered some of the 13s. Have we covered. Why Friday other than Bob did say Friday Bad? Because bad scary movies come out.

[C]

Movies come out on Friday. Bad movies. Everyone hates movies.

[B]

I think Fridays were seen as, like, bad even before they were. Movies like that dates back.

[C]

I have no idea if this holds up, but I've heard this as a. I don't know how it was. Story. Superstition, isn't it? The story that Jesus was crucified on Friday. Isn't that what Good Friday is? And then.

[B]

Doesn't sound very good for him.

[C]

I can imagine. May feel like that makes Fridays bad, which is funny because it's called Good Friday, but whatever. Yeah, call it. Call it whatever you want, I guess, but I don't. I don't actually know if that's true or how that lines up with the calendar year, because.

[B]

Do you think you can condemn yourself to hell by just writing a description for a single point in a game like this?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

All he wrote was one point for Bob. Friday, Jesus, bye bye.

[C]

Accurate.

[A]

Like if you were telling a child that, I think that that might make sense. You know, it's not really offensive. Anyway, Good Friday has been on Friday the 13th only if Easter is on April 15th. And it has occurred in 1900-1906-1979-1990, 2001, and will occur again in 2063.

[B]

I mean, we left the 80s in 1990. I loved the 80s.

[C]

You beg. You don't even. You lived in the 80s for, like, like, nine months.

[B]

Oh, and it was so much better.

[C]

I think people dread Fridays because for parents, it means that it's the weekend, which means that you got all day, both days. And if it's a long weekend, all day, all three days, you got to entertain those little ankle biters that you done made. And kids just go crazy on the weekends, just full on psychopaths. But during the rest of the normal week, they're totally chill. It's great. So then it gets to be Friday and then parents are like, oh, God.

[B]

Oh, fuck.

[C]

It's like nighttime in I Am Legend. They lock the house down and then they get the dog and they sit in the bathtub with a gun and rock back and forth until they survive the night.

[A]

Is that every night in that movie?

[C]

No, I guess that was only the bad one when he was hurt or whatever. I don't know. I don't know if we got to see, like a normal night, because the first night he wakes up and then the first night you actually see in the movie is everything's already fucked. Right? Isn't that already crazy?

[B]

What movie are we talking about?

[A]

I am 13.

[B]

For some weird reason in my brain, I conflate scenes from I Am Legend with the one with the robots that Will Smith was also in I Am Robot. I don't think that was Will Smith.

[C]

Was it I Am Legend and I Am Robot. Those two Will Smith movies. It's called I, Robot.

[B]

Oh, okay. It's like, wait, that sounds right, but it doesn't sound right.

[C]

Which is 100% what Apple's home Robot Assistant is going to be called in 50 years when it releases, and they'll totally miss that. That's hilarious. But also terrifying. But no, I get those movies. Aside from aesthetically and thematically being pretty far apart and almost as unrelated as you could imagine, I could see why you mix them together. Because Will Smith's in there. Will Smith in it.

[B]

Up.

[A]

All right, I'm getting to the point where I'm googling 13.

[B]

Oh, you knew all the rest of this on top of your head? That's crazy.

[A]

Well, I didn't Google 13.

[B]

Okay, but you pulled up, like, tripotracophobia out of, like, nowhere.

[A]

Okay, 13's a natural number following 12 preceding 14.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Wow, that tracks.

[A]

It's a prime number. A happy number. Wait, what the fuck is a happy number?

[B]

Wait. Oh, it's the opposite of what you'd think.

[A]

And a lucky number. Okay, I don't know. Okay. Happy number. In number theory, a happy number is a number which eventually reaches 1 when the number is replaced by the sum of the square of each digit. Okay. For instance, 13 is a happy number because 1 squared plus 3 squared equals 10 and 1 squared plus 0 squared equals 1. So if you eventually reduce it down through the sum of the squares, this

[B]

really Is the Jim carrey movie. It's 20 fucking 3.

[A]

What the fuck is happy number?

[C]

Why is it, you know, I really prefer melancholy numbers? That's where when you replace them with with the square root of each digit separately but added together, it stays the same number forever.

[A]

I think that mathematicians sometimes get this weird hard on to. Wow. Our number system that we made is really so perfect and it's so circular and everything. Oh, it lines up so beauty. Except for the things that don't. Oh, look at the happy number. Look at the happy little number. Perfect digital invariant what the fuck is perfect digital invariant?

[B]

Tell us

[A]

for base b greater than 1 and power p greater than 0 f parameters p B colon N to N is but fancy ends is defined as f pb parentheses n equals the sum of k minus 1 on top.

[B]

These functions function of N

[A]

D to the P under the to the lower

[B]

I period D to the P to the lower I. Baby, I'm Fergie.

[A]

And where K equals. What is that symbol? It's not a bracket, it's a. It's an L but in the shape of a bracket. But it doesn't have a top Topless bracket.

[C]

Topless bracket low B log log B

[A]

low to the N other bracket Hockey stick the other way plus one is the number of digits in the number in base B and D lower I equals N mod b to the I 1 minus n mod b to the I divided by B to the I. And that is literally the first four lines in this definition. There are about 12 more. Do you want me to read them?

[C]

Don't stop. I love this dude.

[B]

I need to get something to sleep to tonight. Yeah, please.

[A]

A natural number N is a perfect perfect digital invariant of it is a fixed point for FPB which occurs in FPBN equals n o and 1, 0 and 1 are obviously trivial perfect digital invariants for all B and obviously non trivial perfect digital invariance or non trivial perfect digital invariance. For example, the number 4150 in base B equals 10 is a perfect digital invariant of P equals 5 because 4150 equals 4 to the 5th. 4 to the power of 5 plus 1 to the 5, 5 to the 5 plus 0 to the 5. A sociable digital invariant. Bring all your digital invariants to the party so you can socialize them. Oh my God, I hate mathematicians.

[B]

Where's the introverted digital invariant?

[C]

Your mom's a non trivial perfect digital invariant.

[A]

Dude, just wait till you get to the pre periodic points for FPB Regardless

[C]

of the base, you have to tell me about ppp. Fpbs.

[A]

I just don't know what this is trying to prove. I'm sure it's useful in some way.

[C]

No, that's the thing. Useful is the wrong word. I don't know. I'm not going to pretend like I know anything about what you just said or about math. But I can tell you from being around a lot of scientists and Manny. Manny is statistician and does math and data science stuff. There's a lot of shit that exists where you're like, oh man, that sounds complicated. But actually it's fucking useless. Like it's true. And somebody proved that it's true and it's a thing and it isn't good for anything. Somebody was just like, this is true. Look. And that's it. And that's it. And this sounds like one of those things where it's like, yeah, yep. All that stuff you said is mathematically provable.

[B]

I don't even remember what led us to reading all of that. To even knowing why we cared.

[C]

Mark was teaching us about numbers.

[B]

Oh, the happy numbers. That's right.

[A]

There's also narcissistic number.

[B]

What's your height?

[A]

Whoa. What the hell?

[B]

Sorry. Sorry, man. I came out swinging.

[A]

I don't even know how. That was an insult. Oh my God. They've got sociable narcissistic numbers. They've got amicable narcissistic narcissistic numbers.

[C]

Wait, but do they have non trivial amicable narcissistic numbers? They do.

[A]

They do. They have trivial narcissistic numbers and non trivial narcissistic numbers.

[C]

All right, well then I'll allow it.

[A]

Oh man.

[B]

I'm really glad we got down to the roots of why unlucky and lucky and Friday and 13. I hope you all out there watching and listening learn something. Today there will be a quiz and if you can't do the function of N to the D to the iplomng we're tasty. Then you're gonna fail.

[C]

That's funny.

[B]

Let me go through the points for. No, no particular order. Bob, you're first. You got points. I wrote down. He's a walking. But just because you're walking. That's good.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Self care good. Wade. Identity theft because you were telling me about the checks. You were mean to the host but funny. So I'll give you a point instead of taking one for once. Friday bad because scary movies. I gave you both points for movie 13. Movie puns that we just kept going down the Rabbit hole of. I was so busy contributing, I didn't really keep track of the different ones we made.

[C]

Oh, 13 days later.

[B]

Oh, yeah. 13 weeks later. 13 months later.

[C]

Sorry.

[B]

Sorry.

[C]

It's too late.

[B]

Unus Gaston Reference. Friday. Jesus.

[A]

Bye bye.

[B]

Friday. Bad because kids. Nope, not useful to mark. 10 minutes of numbers, and that gives you a total of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 points.

[C]

If there's anything I know about science, it's that it likes to be useless but funny. That's why science exists.

[B]

Oh, Mark, you got points. I'm gonna offer a bonus point if you can remember what ADR stands for.

[A]

But if I didn't know it before,

[B]

you still get one point.

[A]

I don't know. Automatic dubbing recording or something like that. I don't remember.

[C]

Isn't it alternate dubbed recording or something like that?

[A]

No, it's not alternate, but it's automatic. And I don't know why. I know the first one's automatic, but. Or automated or something like that.

[B]

Alternative Dispute Resolution. I don't think that's what I'm looking for.

[C]

No, it's not.

[B]

American Depository or. Sorry, that's not it.

[C]

It said for automated dialogue replacement.

[B]

That makes more sense than what I got. All right, Mark. Well, you know, mediation, arbitration, math, numbers. You're a pro.

[A]

Thanks.

[B]

You also got points for your piles of checks, which is very relatable. All of us out here can relate to carrying around piles of checks, having people that carry our piles of checks to the bank for us. Very relatable stuff. You told us that Scream 7 exists. You say different phobia words. Funny. You told us about Norse history, more of the 13 movie puns, the Friday the 13th Easter conspiracy with Jesus and the different years of which those things align. Happy numbers. And I gave you a point for the last 10 minutes of Mark math that we listened to.

[A]

Oh, cool.

[C]

Thanks.

[B]

Five, six, seven, eight. A total of nine. Nine. But I had your name written first. And the point total is 9 to 11. Is that also a coincidence because of Friday the 13th?

[C]

Probably. No.

[B]

Did 911 happen on Friday the 13th? I think not.

[C]

No, I don't think it did. I don't think we could safely say that one.

[B]

All right, fair enough. Right now, Bob, you're up. And it's time for the wheels. Yeah.

[C]

Wait, I'm up by 3 points. 2 points.

[B]

11 to 9. You're up by 2.

[C]

How many spins will there be?

[B]

Hi, Little. Indeed. Can there be two? Spit. Oh. Shall be three.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I got a chance. Oh, I got a chance.

[C]

You always got a chance, babe. Wade, what are you adding to the Wheel of Fun? Happy times.

[B]

Do we already have something for like tinfoil hat or person that's like the

[C]

most conspiratorial, I think, maybe scariest contribution. He who is immortal wins a point. I forgot I had one of those lurking in there. That's fun.

[A]

Oh, right. Yeah. You're still immortal if we don't see it.

[B]

What is called the tinfoil hat point. It'll make no sense in about two months. But for right now, man,

[C]

three spins. Let's do this.

[A]

Oh, I got so many tabs. I got so many tabs. I'm so distracted.

[B]

Were they related?

[A]

I have Cheaper by the dozen Village for sale main. I got 13. There's 13 in there. That's 13.

[C]

I have two tabs open and they're both directly related to what we're talking about.

[B]

So I guess by default Mark gets the point.

[A]

GMFST Blackmagic Design Cinema site is open. ADR. I guess that's related. Baker's Dozen is related. 23, the movie. Yeah, that's related. Two ubiquity websites open and my YouTube channel.

[B]

Your YouTube channel? Not related officially. That's one thing at least that makes you more distracted.

[C]

Spin number two. Point four viewers.

[A]

Okay, all right. This doesn't.

[C]

That limits your chances, but that does not preclude you from sweeping this away from me. Still.

[B]

No, this is. That's actually a terrible spin for me. All right. No matter where this ends, it's Bob's point.

[C]

Come on. Shortest. That's inarguable.

[B]

Oh, Mark slept in today.

[A]

I just said I slept in this.

[B]

Dodge that one.

[A]

Oh, well, you win, so you lose him.

[C]

I mean, I could also say I slept in, but I also didn't go to bed until late. I. I know exactly how much sleep I got, if you really want to compare. But no, no, no.

[A]

I got nine hours. Oh. Since last episode, though. Wait, no, wait.

[C]

All right, we need.

[A]

Okay, yeah, yeah, hold on.

[C]

So wait, since yesterday, since the last release or since the last recording?

[A]

Recording, I think is what that would imply.

[C]

I don't think either of us slept in the break between this episode and the immediate previous episode.

[A]

So it must be the previous one. Oh, no. My Sleep Fitness score is so big.

[C]

Oh, I did not get a lot

[A]

of sleep this week.

[C]

You're in trouble, Mark.

[A]

Oh, shit. I'm sleeping so good, man. My seven day average, it says, is about six and a half hours. But last night I got eight hours and 47 it says my seven day

[C]

average since last Tuesday is six hours and 20 minutes.

[A]

Mine, six hours and 35 minutes average.

[C]

All right, point for Paul.

[B]

Damn it.

[A]

Damn it. Why do I have to not be working on a movie and sleeping so good?

[B]

I dodged the one man show wheel. Congratulations.

[C]

Wait, what else can we compare? What about your heart rate? I bet your heart rate's way better than mine.

[B]

Yeah, go ahead. I don't care about that. Go, take. Take more time. Whatever.

[A]

So the resting heart rate is 67. Been going down a lot. That's pretty good. Oh wow, man, my metrics are looking great.

[C]

Yeah, my resting heart rate's only 72. Kicking my ass.

[B]

I don't monitor any of this stuff, so I don't know, whatever God wants me to have.

[C]

You mean for your heart rate or sleep?

[B]

Heart rate.

[C]

Okay, good. Okay.

[B]

The man upstairs, real involved in my sleep schedule. Schedule. He tells me when to snore.

[C]

D doesn't say shit to me.

[B]

All right, so Mark, loser speech.

[A]

Well, let's just say that if the trade off for losing is having higher quality of life and the other things, and if that means that I can get a village in Maine, I'd say losing is pretty good. I say losing is okay.

[B]

Unfortunately, the village takes checks only.

[C]

Fuck. You need to send them one paper check for five and a half million dollars.

[B]

Damn, Bob, winner speech.

[C]

My life is terrible. And that's how I keep winning. The worse it gets, the more I win. This is all I have. I have no joy. I have no other sources of anything other than sadness and pain. So I put it all here. I leave it all on the table. And if I ever don't win, if you ever steal this one brief moment of joy I get once a week. Week. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'll probably have to take it out on whoever steals it for me. I guess. I guess this is kind of a warning, huh? Anyway, this is a fun time, guys. Good episode, huh?

[B]

Follow these guys. Especially Bob just in case. My skirm mark at Markiplier Minion 77 or Lord Minion 777 merch. Keep an eye on Distractible Shop because it's common or it's there or you miss Missed it. Until the next one. We're BOB will host another banger podcast out.
