Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
You're a real jerk. You're a real asshole. All those years you was complaining about how one ball was just crazy big. Why did you ever get it checked out? Why did I get it checked out? Yeah, when you had that ball issue for mad long.

They got that confidence that they can do whatever and get away with it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
It's like kickbacks to open some Turkish building or something like that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
But what's this big, juicy one? It's still not fucking answered. We never get to answer that. Well, 9-11, we should get an answer. We know who did 9-11. Yo, yo, yo, yo. Yo, Dove, y'all got to do— Nah, Ian Carroll's doing some nasty work, y'all.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Both of my wives clutching their pearls. Just say the word, man. If it's on a cypher load or something. Yo, I'm going to be honest with you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
We've had this for a while, but Ian's cooking right now.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I don't know all the specifics, but the thing that people just keep trying. They can't seem to separate is that he's saying the Israeli government and everybody ties that by anti-Semitism. And he's talking about all Jews. And I don't think he's doing that. Right. But that's the way it seems like online.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
That's the only thing that I don't like because it's like he's really clear and just being like, oh, it's the Israeli government that's doing all these things. And then everybody's like, oh, anti-Semitism. He's saying Jews cause.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Yeah, but he's not saying that. Sorry.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
You should be able to criticize.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I can see that. Right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Wait.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Yeah. I do think that some of the frustration in Gaza is that, and maybe there is, and I'm missing it, but I don't see enough Jewish people speaking out against what the Israel government is doing. Like, I'm not subscribed to like... uh, what's, I don't know, one of your institutions, but I just don't see it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
So it's like, it seems like all Jewish people are in support of what's going on over there. Cause no one's speaking out against it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Now it feels like it's wrong.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Here's the other thing. Oh, no, yeah, you could. It could be a slippery slope, and I can understand why they wouldn't want to be like, all right, we're doing this bad, and then we're like, see, and now what else are you doing bad? I can see that. I have to morally prove myself to every person that I meet.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
But I think Americans, we did it once we realized, hey, there's no weapons of mass destruction. We are here for no reason. This is wrong. Let's stop this. I think we called ourselves out on that shit. Have you apologized for that? Yeah, Al, did you publicly post it? I feel like I haven't heard you say anything about it. I put a post up. Black squared it in Chile.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Say sorry to the Iraqi people right now. We were like, it took us a while. We definitely got out of natural resources.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
But we were calling out, we were saying like, this war is wrong. Like, I think the people were calling, saying the war was wrong once we found out that we're in weapons of mass destruction. Well, here's the thing. You don't think so?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
No, I didn't try. I was a little too far back.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
He didn't eat it this way or that way.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I mean, they're fun to make fun of. You know, like, the dude that would come over here sometimes, he would sit at the table. Yeah. Right. Our handler.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Our AIPAC delegate. That is what I think. We got an AIPAC delegate.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I don't know. You got that shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I saw you. It was a little too much effort. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Yeah. No, I thought you could just go drink as many of those as you want. Yeah, because it's bone broth.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Downward dog. He's just going to take a butter knife.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I was surprised to see the amount of adults there. I thought I was going to see way more kids. It was like maybe 5% kids.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
war with these people for a really long time yes maybe the government has been was gone a little heavy-handed with the response but until you're in it you really don't get it so you think that would help any sentiment my concern is you can't start any discussion with you don't understand okay well but put it differently i think i think that hey we got attacked
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
like our response, you might deem it as excessive, but we feel this is what's necessary in order to like end this conflict that's been going on for all these years.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Yeah. And that's what I'm saying. Like, I think people need to speak out more to help with that perception. Yeah. And I think that there's like a lot of like, because without speaking out, we feel gaslit. Like, oh, we can't say anything because you're just going to call us anti-Semitic. And not us. I'm just trying to speak on sentiment.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
That's maybe it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
He's like, yo, where are the kids, dude? You're a fucking creep. I was trying to keep him away from this guy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
We forget. We forget quick. I don't feel like Eric Adams is running for mayor.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Go.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I'm still doing that past life regression shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I'm going to come back to you and kill myself? Fuck out of here.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
He didn't come to my show. I went to the later one. We just had an annoying couple in the front that I was so happy. They went to the bathroom, the couple, and then while coming back, they both bust their ass trying to get back to the table. It was so good. And then she tried to get up and bust her ass again. I had to run out laughing. I would have disrupted the show. I couldn't hold it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Oh, poor Kanye. No, poor Kanye. Fuck Kanye.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Oh, you really give Kanye that much credit? Honestly. I really couldn't believe that he was talking to, he thought he was talking to Rogan.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Oh, to try to force his hand? Something like that. I don't know. But Rogue is not that tight. No, not at all. No. This is just sad. I think somebody just hit him with, like, hey, this is Rogue, and this is my new number. Oh, he believed it? Yeah. Wow.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
You're right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
It usually is some gay shit. Do you see? I've recorded yourself playing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Well, do you know what he's doing? I'll be having matching outfits and shit like that. I do that shit too. I hate a lot of shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I go, Paddle Up.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I even have to tie headband shit. Really? Like Agassi, yeah. That's why you're matching with a couch runner?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Always ass. That's me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Soft power. So my birthday's next week. And so for this weekend, I'm going to a tennis hotel. That's a paddle. I've heard about these. So it's like five, six different courts. They just all year round. They have like different trainers there and shit like that. And so players just come in and out. All inclusive.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
In Dominican Republic. Yeah. Yeah. They have them in Hawaii. Right on the beach. So my shorty will just be on the beach. I'm going to be playing all day. Perfect birthday.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
They don't have a paddle hotel? They... Chelsea, you need to do that. I need to make it. You need to do that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I get that. We take it over the sport. We got Coco, we got Sheldon, we got a few. That's a good point. Yeah, there are a few. We're doing good. We're going to come for paddle, bro.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Stephen A. for president, bro.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
You need to get scoops. You need to get all this stuff. And he just got a hundred, a hundred M's. So they're not upset of what he's saying about LeBron. He said, they're like, yo, run it up. But that was a big misstep on LeBron though. Can you tell me what it was about? I mean, it was just like, keep my son's name out of your mouth type thing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Yeah, but he said a bunch about Ronnie. So it's like, I'm pretty sure he's just tired of him constantly bringing up his son.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
But he just made it 10 times worse.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Stephen A can make it awesome. That person makes it a monk before they get taken over. Yeah, also that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I feel like they've always talked shit about Braun. Yeah. Like, yeah, it's very little, but they've always done it throughout his career. You remember, he wasn't clutch in the beginning. You're right. You're right about that. His record in the finals. Like, he never got the Jordan treatment. And maybe that's why he's disgruntled about it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
I think just too much competition in sports media. And it's like, Oh wow.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Everything sucks. And now I'm putting my son through this. So he's probably trying to squash it early. Like, yo, chill. You can talk about me, but chill out. Oh, that's a good ass. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
And he probably feels personally responsible because he knows his son doesn't belong in that spot. And it's because he leveraged his son to get in that spot. So now you're responsible for all that hate he's getting.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
It's tricky.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Schulz's WWE Appearance, Israel’s PR Problem, & Sam Seder’s 20 v 1
And it probably is because the fact that he's balling in the G League, like, it's probably a mental thing when he gets in...
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Animal Noises Too
Good evening, gentle listeners and watchers, and welcome to Destructible. This episode, Mania Mark the Barmy Baker demands brainwork from the boys for finding fauna fanfares. Brunching Bob builds an illicit empire, emulates bird base, noses Gavrier Immer, and Tyler's termination. Wumbling Wade marvels at the man without fear, endures shitstorms, slaps hard, and screams.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
All right, okay. That was not close. I'll give you that one. Bob, what is this animal?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I've heard what Taz sounds like, and it's not that. Kind of terrifying. So no one gets the point for that, but there is a point on the table for this imitation. Wade, you're back up. Oh, God.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I mean, not dissimilar. The snort, I think, really helped you there. That was not bad.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Cause it's like two opposite takes of air. I don't think I could do that either. I'm going to give that one to Wade. He is Tasmania. Devil in the sheets, Tasmanian in the sheets. In the teats. Gotcha. All right, Bob, this is your animal.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
You know, that's not a bad guess. But honestly, I can't even remember what this animal is when I look at the name. So macaque is a good guess if I knew at all what this was supposed to be.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
So this is distractible. You found the right place. You've chosen us versus any other podcast out there. Maybe you were scrolling Spotify and you were just like, hey, I've never seen this one before. Why don't I give it a try? And here you are. And boy, how do you don't know what you're in for? This is a game show where I judge the performance of my friends, Bob and Wade here.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Because looking at the name, I'm just like, I know this name, have never attached it to an actual animal. So if that's a clue, Wade, here is one more time.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
That would make a hard sound to use in a beat like producers out there.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I don't think there's a third kind of those. I think it's alligators or crocodiles. Maybe it falls under one of those, but it's like the really long, needly-nosed one. I think, yeah, that's a crocodile type, I believe. It might be called a needle-nosed crocodile for all I know. Those are really good for taking outlets out of the wall. You know, I'm not going to give you an animal name.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I'm just confident that I'm close enough that it'll win. Uh, no. A gharial or a gavial? Maybe. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A species of crocodile known for its exceptionally long and slender snout. Okay, then it is a crocodile type, but not your standard.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Both of you did not get it, and prepare to be shocked at what the hell this is.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Oh, I would not have guessed that's what those sound like. Yeah, me neither. Also, this video is terrifying. He's just chilling. If that was in the middle of the woods at night, just I saw eyes.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Everybody knows what a cassowary is. If I remember cassowaries, they're also assholes and will kill you. Unless that's an emu. I think a lot of the big birds are kind of a-holes. Anyway, no one got the point for that, but honestly, how would anyone ever? I mean, this... But there is a point possibility for imitating that. So Bob, you are up for the bonus point. All right. Yeah. Here.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Do I have to make the sound with my own voice or can I use tools? I'll allow a tool. Sure.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I'm not going to share it unless I win, then I'll share. All right. That was really close. Honestly, that sounded pretty good. It's good because I broke the thing I was using to make that sound.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
You can always throw, but I encourage you, hey, you never know until you try.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
It's either you fail miserably or you give the audience some ammo that they never should have had. My thing was just this 3D printed cup koozie scraping back and forth on the desk. I fucked up. I started delaminating layers off of it by jamming it in my desk too hard.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
well it got you a point so i think it can't be that big of a loss yep worth it why don't you try the heart all right all right wade open your ears i think i know this one i know this one i know this one
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Hi, I'm one of those two people. And the only reason I'm here to judge them, because last episode I won by a clear sweeping, almost tiebreaker victory. And so now I get to subject these two to my whims. And my first whims is to tell you something that I should have talked about in the last episode of Small Talk, because it's something that I did. But Bob, you reminded me of something that I did.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
That is, in fact, a loon! Oh, god damn, man. Yeah, good luck making that noise. And here's the video of the loon, just so you all know what this is.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
That's a common Ohio wildlife sound. They have little babies riding around on them. That's funny.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
At least I guessed bird. It's like a goose disguised as the Doppler effect. Ha! Yeah. All right, anyway, so, Bob, you got the point for what it is, but Wade, you have a chance if you can imitate this animal. Wait, doesn't he have to imitate first? Why do I have to do it first? Because you went first, I guess. I went first last time.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
It's not bad. That was pretty good. I think that was better than I could probably do. All right, Bob. Pretty good. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Man, this is a toss-up. I think the addition of the hand component of it got it acoustically closer. I would have to agree.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
You got one of those pull-cord speak-and-spell animal sound thing. The loon goes... Yes, yes, I do. Every day. I got it for James. The cow goes... No, James, we're getting the loon one! Next up, Bob, you're first.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I think that's a... Is that a magpie? No, unfortunately, it's not. I think I still know what it is. I think I just don't know what it's called because I can see this bad boy. It's obviously the African hissing cockroach. A damn fine guess, but a damn wrong guess. I think it is actually an African animal.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Okay, Bob, because I had to pull up what it was, I will give you half a point if you can describe what this thing looks like. Okay, I'm seeing it's a bird and it's like a black bird and it has kind of a big curvy downy beak. And when it's doing this, it's just sitting there with its mouth open, just like... But it's making all these crazy ass noises. It's not quite.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I mean, it's close, but when it's making the sound, that's like the differentiation. I'll let Wade also chime in on this because here is this animal. And I am unsure if this is actually going to make the sound in the video. I can't see how, but here we go. I see it. I see it. I see it. Damn. That's loud. That's so loud. That's terrifying. I mean, he got tall bird, right?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
This has nothing to do with the episode, and this only has something that I'm proud of. I made bread. Oh, successfully? Homemade bread's really good. We were out of bread, and I really wanted to make Nutella on toast. Just toasting bread and putting Nutella on it. So, of course, instead of going to the store and buying bread, I was like, making bread can't be that hard.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
If you feel like you have to, I can't stop you, but I don't suggest it. Pops first. All right. I don't know if this is going to hang on. Oh, did we ever say out loud that's a shoe bill? That's a shoe bill.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Yeah. Okay. This isn't 100% what I'm hoping for, but here we go. Ready? Ready?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
That's great. That's actually pretty close. Wade, you have to use your teeth. I used my teeth. Come on. Can you play it one more time?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I think that was closer. That was pretty good. It had the right resonance to it. What's on your desk?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Yeah, well, they're probably designed to withstand that. Also, ow, my hands hurt. Better than your teeth.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Wait, I think I know this. I might know this. Really? I'm optimistic. I have a guess. Wade has no chance. I do not. This is obviously a lemur that found a storage of helium. Honestly, I can't say that it's not that, but it's not that in this case. I feel less confident now. I'm going to go with my guess that I thought of that I got really excited about. Is this a prairie dog? You are so close.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
No, I'm going to throw this up to debate because I think that what this is is often confused for that to the point where I'm almost certain that they probably sound the same. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's similar to at least to what the sound prairie dogs make. But this is a marmot. Oh, I believe this is very closely related to a prairie dog.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
And it turns out, usually when you say that, cosmically, it means it will be the most arduous thing you've ever done in your life. But in reality, because we had bread flour and yeast already, so long as you have those things, you can pretty much make bread. You could even do it with like, I never remember if it's baking powder or baking soda. You want soda, I think.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
They live in burrows, but they're different sizes and different habitats. It's really close. Damn, that's close.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
And it's like, not even close. All right. Okay. All right. So now that you, we've definitely heard it a million times who can mimic this.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
If any of you can get up to this pitch, I'd be shocked. All right. Can you play it again?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Yeah, that's a toss-up between the two of you. I don't think any of you got close enough for me to... Not for us burly men that we are with our deep, rich voices.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I mean, not a bad guess. Not a bad guess. Can I guess an actual animal? Yeah, sure. It's definitely a turtle trying to climb up onto a slightly too high step. Okay.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
close but no wait this is clearly a mountain goat that just ate a hot pepper no unfortunately damn it all right so the truth is uh a lot less uh interesting oh it's a proboscis a proboscis monkey
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
How is that less interesting? Look at the way that thing flops around. Well, I'll give bonus for flopping if one of you can perform the flopping as you do this. Bob?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I'm just going to have to do it. Is that what it sounded like? I don't think so. Okay. Ah, that's close. That's pretty close. Yeah, kinda, yeah. Wade? Alright, points for flopping.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
All right. Good joke. That was almost a point there, Wade, but could have gotten it. But yeah, no, I made bread. So you made like a sandwich loaf? Did you put like a little honey in it or something? What direction? No, it was a sweeter bread. I found a recipe. You know, there's recipes online where you click there and then you have to scroll through a million pages to get to the actual recipe.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I think it's honestly just that it's kind of resonant and the audio is really clippy because it's trying to cut out background noise.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I got to give it for the effort to the burps. All right. And I'll give Wade half point for flopping because it wasn't on screen, but I believe you.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Bob. That's definitely the sound of a baby meerkat. No. It wasn't a baby anything, actually.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Why is he a ball frog? What happened to him? I think it's angry and it's like all puffed up and trying to intimidate.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Alright, who's going to imitate that? Or should we just skip this one because it's so high pitched? Oh no, we got this.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
No, it was Wade. I can't do any of those things, so... I'm going to do the jaw.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Did you put the butt crack in the middle? I did not. No, I didn't. Why does bread have a butt crack? Well, I could have, but, you know, I accidentally made too much. See, I split the recipe in two for every ingredient except the liquid that's in there. So every dry ingredient was perfectly halved. And I was like, perfect. And it was either water or milk.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
And I chose milk because I have this, like, higher protein milk. And I was like, ah, it'll have a little extra protein in it. And I boiled two cups. But then I decided to halve everything else. So I was like, perfect. Everything was halved. I did the math right. I double checked it. Dumped the whole two cups in there. Guess I'm making more bread, so I re-halved all the other ingredients.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
And then I made a ton of bread, and I proved it in the oven at like 85 degrees. It's like 85 to 90.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
From effusive eyeballing to outraged otarionay. Yes! It's time for Animal Noises 2. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
You can prove it in there. And I should have let it go a tiny bit longer. It was almost perfect, but it needed to prove just a bit more. But I made it, and it was great. It tasted delicious. It was really good. I couldn't believe it. I made bread. How long did it take to make it?

It took probably the mixing took about, you know, 20, 25 minutes to get all the ingredients measured out and make a mistake and then fix it. Proving it took about maybe like an hour. I probably should have let it go for a little longer than that, like hour 15. That's in a heated drawer. Bake it for 30 minutes, and it was done.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Right, Wade? Is this my time? Yeah, I kind of was like going off of Bob and Henry.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
What in the... You heard it from Wade. Fuck animals, eat chocolate. No, I know what choco rooms are, just the way that you ate that one was... I was angry. I was angry eating. I'm gonna get chocolate milk from upstairs. Well, congratulations, boys. Thank you for your good efforts. Bob, all that training paid off from the last episode. Well done. And thank you, everybody, for listening at home.

I've had a loaf pan for meatloaf for a while, but it's small. So I made the rest in like this casserole dish. Both turned out fine. Each of them were perfect. It just, I took out one sooner than the other. And it was great. I never made bread, and it worked perfectly. I'm flabbergasted. You can just make bread.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Focaccia, or is that the flatbread with dimples? Oh, that's one of the ones I've had a lot of success with. Those are really good. I've never tried to make it, but Amy's tried to make it, and her success rate is a little iffy. I mean, okay, not a little iffy. That's putting it into question, but she's had a few failures where it just does not do anything.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I don't want to call out Amy, but she cannot make a bread to save her. Okay, no, but there is something to say. Amy cannot cook grilled cheese. What? Huh? She's a great cook, knows a ton of recipes, can make a ton of things. For some reason, cannot make grilled cheese. Like the outside burns before the cheese is cheesed or something? Yeah, exactly. I don't know what it is.

He's got to turn that temperature down a little bit. Welcome to the show where we criticize Amy's cooking, everyone. Yeah, I'm going to really pile on. Get ready, Amy. I know you watch these.

no i lived off campus i was it was okay because you with an oven just in your dorm making or i guess a stove is what i mean uh to make grilled cheese for everyone it's kind of nuts sounding mark did that not that but mark made food in the dorm a couple times i remember that i made food like two times the microwave or i was only allowed to have like a microwave you know there was a little kitchenette there was a little kitchenette in the dorm and no one used it

That's M-A-R-K-I-P-L-I-E-R. You okay, man? People been misspelling your name or something recently? I'm great. Oh, that sounds believable.

Like after the first year, some new administrator in CCM was like, you can't do that. You can't. And so we found like another space that was like way the hell in the back hall somewhere in the secret speakeasy where we served illegal grilled cheeses.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I made it profitable, but it was for... It was for... It was for Sinfonia, which is maybe, I think, was maybe a non-profit. If I remember, I'm not 100% sure about that. I heard profitable empire is what I heard. And an empire is not a business. I made a profitable endeavor... But the profits were not shared. Hey, I'm with you.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
We weren't we weren't like an operating restaurant. We were like one day a week. Somebody's cook some grilled cheeses and we charged a nominal fee so that we could like cover our expenses. And no, I'm with you.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
They knew we were doing it. They just didn't let us do it in the really, really, really good location that kind of put a damper on the things, you know. The man really dragged us down. Yeah, I can see that. I'm sorry for that.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Well, that's good. I haven't had time to watch any show, obviously, but that's the same story I've been telling for ages now. For about two years.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
But someday, I'm going to watch so much stuff, I'm going to do so much little. Sin City Weather, on the other hand, is a bitch.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
It's pretty nice outside right now. You should... I'm in this chair all day today.

Wade yells at Cloud. Hey, come back tomorrow. This episode is brought to you by Walmart. I'm a busy guy.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
You can choose the date and the time. You never feel more powerful. Walmart subscriptions. Groceries and essentials delivered on repeat. Welcome to your Walmart. Shipping, delivery, and minimum order fees may apply. Eligible items only. Terms apply. In the era of sequels. This is another one. Oh. Weird part four. This is going to be another cerebral episode.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
You're going to need to use your brain. Okay. You're going to need to use whatever form of imagination you have or are capable of. Well, okay. Calm down. And you need to use your ability at horticultury. Etymology? Entomology or etymology?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Etymology? Anyway, you're going to need to use some kind of scientific department. I'm going to flip a coin to decide who's going to go first. Ed, Bob, Wade, Tails. Bob! That's me, baby! Bob, what's new in the area of horticulture? Oh, I'm about to tell you, Bob. Open up your ears. Okay.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
All right, so I'm guessing when and why Wade makes that noise? Yes, please, give me that. That's the sound Wade makes when he's been in the pool for about an hour and a half, and someone outside the pool opens the lid to the grill and says, Burgers are ready!
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Makes family gatherings super awkward when Molly wears sundresses. So, Bob, can you tell me what animal that is?
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
I'm fine. I'm so good. You sound fine. Guys, I want you to rate the sanity of the snack that I'm eating for lunch. It's a tortilla. Zero. That I'm tearing into chunks and then scooping little bits of cream cheese with and then rolling up into little cream cheese rolls. Give you a cannoli point.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
No, not a hug. Now, Wade, it's your turn. And I'm going to give you a clue that I didn't give Bob. This is one we had in the last episode.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
All right, Bob, do you know what this is? I think I do. That was the koala, right? Yes. All right. We did a koala last time. Are you sure? Yeah, we did. I remember because it sounded like that. And I was all, that's a koala this time.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Yeah, and here there's a bonus that I don't know if you guys will be able to hear it, but I have videos now.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
Oh, wow. I can tell an animal by seeing it. Well, just so it proves what it is. I bet James could beat you at telling animals by seeing them. He probably could. I bet he could. That's a koala. It is a koala, yes. To the listeners, it says koala on the video. I don't like his mouth. I'm not a fan of that mouth shape. Nope. Don't like that. That's not pleasant. All right.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
No. So what we're going to do actually is before the way it worked is we did identifying the animal. If you couldn't get it, it's or if someone did get it, the next part was who could imitate it the most. Well, I already made the sound, so I get a point for that, right? Well, we're going to disqualify this one because we had it last time. And also, I remember this one hurt you guys' voices a lot.
Distractible
Animal Noises Too
So I don't think we need to do that one again. These next ones, though, like last time, I have not heard these. Okay, so we listen, then we have to replicate the sound, and guess what it is? No, we listen, guess what it is, the next part of it is who can make the sound the best.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I mean, it was effective. It sounded like it didn't work out, but... I like it because the time it takes to get to the tailpipe that you know is theirs, the bread has gone more stale, so it really compacts in there. And everyone knows, just like a critical point on a boss, big bread and glow in the tailpipe, shove some in there, whole car blows up.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
The gift picture they took at the end that cost us 40 bucks. Yeah, yeah. All right. Good, good. Bob?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
That could mean multiple things. I will have that added to the wheel. Best time. Either you're having a great time or you did the episode in record time. You won with the least amount of moves. Ooh. That's pretty fun. That is interesting. I like that. Is that the Grandmaster win? Yeah, something like that.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
That's weird. Eight ball refers to 3.5 grams of cocaine. Oh, because it's one eighth of an ounce. Why wouldn't it say that first?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
But before we do that we got to hear about our lives I can as much as I want to kick it off with my life and the amazing things going on here I guess I have to defer to these two gentlemen here whose lives are equally as interesting chock-full of adventure And I can't wait to hear about it
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I need some pasta fazool. Now you guys are never going to know where the place where your family is.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Well, I did that cryptically because the Portuguese didn't know about Olive Garden. They probably did, but I assumed that they didn't. Was there a big rivalry between Olive Garden and Portugal?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
That's it. That's great, guys. You really tapped into it. Very, very illegal. All those... I think we're on it.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Oh, man, that's great. Okay, what about something a little, you know, less devastating? So this happens every time I travel. Like, I'm flying, I check my bags, I get them free, because fucking diamond medallion me over here. Holy shit, three free bags or something? Unbelievable. They could even be overweight. They don't even care. They don't even care.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Have fun, stupid. When I'm flying and I'm in the lap of luxury and beautiful comfort plus. Sure, sure, sure. Anyway, but after I get off and I got away from my bags, I'm standing, you know, like a sane person.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
outside of the actual belt away from it so that I'm not blocking up everything and you know people come off and they they get to my left they line up right next to me or maybe someone was there I line up right next to them right about where you know the benches in the sitting area is
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Then comes Fucko McGee over here, as soon as it goes And they start moving Right up in the middle of it Right, and knees touching the metal I'm gonna get it as soon as it comes here, it's gonna be fast, I better be ready And then suddenly every douchebag in the world comes flooding up and blocking everything Even in front of me, side of me, doesn't matter I was like, oh I can see everything, now I can see nothing
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Exactly that. You know, the douchebag walk. Bob, you're first. What do I do?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
They make a portable fog machine that I've used before on set and like for film shoots and stuff. If you stuck that in your pants and suddenly you started emitting a fog, I think people would run away in the same way.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
You fill it with stink juice instead of fart juice. That would be horrible. Well, you got to make yourself immune to it. So you got to endure it for like many months of just stink juice up your nose.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Did you coat the entire belt with sandpaper or did you put one square and you shove them down? You're like, this will teach you. Ow. Gotta really wait for it to come back around.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
The dread, the dread of it coming back is what really will teach him a lesson. All right, I'll take that. This is relatively tame compared to the restaurant, but I guess- Well, I sort of thought we were going to escalate this one.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
When you go through the crowd, do you do the thing where you touch everyone on the shoulders? Yeah.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I was thinking also, you could do that with your preparation time. I thought it was something where you paint an optical illusion spiral into the conveyor belt that only activates when it starts moving. So all the sheeple that start walking towards, they fall asleep, fall into the conveyor belt, and then get ground in the mechanisms. And you are smart enough to look away.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Oh, I'm sorry. You put anvil in the ceiling and a luggage shredder is too much for you? While E. Coyote doesn't believe in your luggage belt shredders. You don't get your bag fast enough, it gets shredded.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
This one isn't affecting you directly, but it's affecting your experience and also just like public sanctity and common rules and like common decency as our fellow humans and guardians on this planet, right? Sure. Yes. You're at an aquarium having a lovely time. Best time. Look at all the fish. Oh, the jellyfish exhibit. It's all dark in here. You see them. Oh, they're glowing. It's so cool.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Walking through. All right. Then you hear tink, tink, tink, tink. Well, that's an odd sound. Tink, tink, tink, tink. It's getting louder. Tink, tink, tink. You look behind you. There's someone. Could be a little kid. Just tink, tink, tink, tink, tink on the glass. Everywhere. Every single exhibit. Tink, tink, tink it on the glass. That's illegal by itself. Probably.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I appreciate that, man. I appreciate it. All right, let's wrap it up there, man.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Call your friend Ultron. I'm going to read the points and then I'll add, you know, who had the best time, whatever definition that is to the wheel. But we'll start with Bob because you're on the left here. You got a point for suicide hole. You got a point for how much is an eight ball. That was just a question I had.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Olive Garden, separate point for Olive Garden on the moon, pig pen-esque cloud, fart suit prank, assassin's carbon fiber, Maui's magic hook. I just wrote shark. That was a separate idea. Eight magic clones, nuclear waste, and you tusk them.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Uh, Wade, you got the deer. Actually a bitch. That'll fucking teach him. Give me those drugs. What was that from? Give me those drugs. I don't remember. Your travel sandpaper. Anvils. Little shit bag. Little shits bag. Sorry. Piranha tank. Technology's come a long way. Human kissipede. And on your left, which one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Nickelback.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I knew it was funny. I laughed at it. I just couldn't remember why. All right, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Damn. You guys were killing it this game. Bob marginally more by one point, but we'll see how the wheels shake up to do that. Give me a 3. A D3. Please roll a D3 die. Here we go. And start. Start.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too

Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
What did get the biggest laugh? There was a lot of laughs. Bob, you had consistently really funny stuff, but I think one of Wade's jokes made me laugh really hard. It was, it was either between like, I think it was the third iteration of that'll fucking teach him just cause it had like callback in there. And also just the insanity of human kiss of Pete.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Oh, eight magic clones and the froggers stuff really made me laugh hard. This was a, this was a laugh heavy episode. I don't know what the biggest laugh is. This was a really, the olive garden and the moon. I was dying. Oh, give me those drugs. I did laugh. Oh man. I don't know. I don't fucking know.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I think if anything, this was pretty equivalent in terms of the funnies. I had a great time. You boys should be very proud.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Yeah. How about I flip a coin for this? Heads. Wave your tails. Heads. Bob's up. Bob's up by one. This could either decide it or tie it. All right. Come on, baldest.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Viewers took it away from me. I feel like it's landed on those a lot. They're lucky. So with an extremely close game of a toss up of that coin toss, Bob takes it by one point. Congratulations, Bob. Whew. That was very funny. You guys, I know that puts a lot on you guys for making up the stuff, but just like last time, what was it, like a five-gallon bucket of wood glue?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Just shoot a shotgun in the air and hope you hit God, because it's his fault. If you haven't listened to the first Illegal Advice, it's back in 2023 in October. It's a ways back, but very funny episode these guys were on there. Bob, I'm going to let you go first. Winner's speech.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
And as the host who had nothing to do with most of the jokes, I take all the credit. So this is an incredible episode that I host. Thank you, me, for being me, and everything that I'll do in the future will be hopefully as funny as something that happened in this episode. Thank you. Follow the podcast for more.

That was great. The adventure that is parenthood. Neither of us know anything about it. You mean you and Wade. I was going to say, I know a little bit. No, none of us know anything about it. Oh, so you know all about it, do you, Bob? You got the book on it, eh?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
That was for the viewers out there. Listeners, you have no idea what I just did. You have no idea.

Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
We're still on Spotify, too. Still on Spotify, baby! We love Spotify! Almost as much as I love Prusa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw that one coming. You already got your prune juice points. I will say, the world of 3D printing is both as cool and very uncool as I thought it would be. I will not explain why. I will not expound into it. It's Wade's turn to talk. Thank you.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
No, don't start it that way. Nope, that's it. We're in. And welcome to Distractible. I'm your host, Markiplier here. Back at it again with another hosting of an incredible episode that you're going to love in every way possible. We don't believe in cold opens here. This is the beginning and no one can say otherwise, right? And how. And how do we do this episode?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Yeah, what would that do? Would it attract the deer? Would it make you be able to sneak up on the deer? What's the objective?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
They're freaks, those deers. They probably would. For all you hunters out there, recommend what type of tank, what tank best kills deer?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
If you pull it up into an audio editing software and look at the spectrograph, you'll see his house and a map to it in the audio file.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Did he miss? Did he miss? No. Do you think my 22 could take out a deer?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I don't like the idea of unnecessary killing of pretty much anything. Some things... All right, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it. I'm saying it. Some things... deserve to die. Ah, let's just be clear. Let's be open. Let's all get it out there. We all think this. There are okay Pennsylvanians.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Nah, he's harmless. He's just a funny guy. I even think they didn't understand that they were being made fun of. Well, that's because it was so bad. He's like, that can't be our accent.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Well, that's because with Ethan, and you boys know this, is whenever you're talking to him, in his head is his joke he's got ready. He's practicing it. He's just berg, berg, berg, berg. In his head on loop as we're talking. No accent. Yeah, accent. You remember how he would always, like, he would say something to it, and he would say it again under his breath?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Yeah. I miss the show, man. Anyway, some things deserve to die is where I ended that, didn't I? Yeah, some things deserve to die. No more information needed. Listen, I think we can all agree mosquitoes, they deserve to die.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Well, the same way we do every episode. I'm the judge. I am soliciting these two gentlemen here to my whims. They can accept or not. I guess it's always optional. It's all you, man. The doors lock every time we start an episode. When the recording starts, doors can't open. There's no evidence of me ever leaving.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Yeah, there's flies for eating. There doesn't need to be mosquitoes. Flies serve a purpose. Mosquitoes, just a menace. Same with deer. No purpose. Incinerate them. Incinerate them.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
All right, I got a conundrum. I got a story. No, it's not a conundrum. I don't need a puzzle solved. Well, maybe I did in the past. If I'd have known, maybe I could have gotten through this, but I didn't. While the editors were in town. This is a true story. We had done a full week editing and we were going to go out and eat.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Now we had thought about going to the place where we're family, but we decided against that. What's that? Applebee's? No, you fool. It's the place where your family. When you're there, your family. Toots? When you're there, your family. White Castle? When you're there, your family. Disney World? No, when you're there, your magic. When you're there, family. Perkins? Casa Bonita?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
Okay. All right. Well, no, we weren't there anyway. It doesn't matter. What is it? I don't know the advertising for this place. I'll tell you later. I'll tell you later. Okay. When you're there, your family, wherever the fuck there is. Because this story isn't about us going to the place where our family is. We didn't go that night. It's a different place.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
We all went in there and I should have known it was going to be a kerfuffle when we got up to the host stand and the guy looked at us and was like, how many? And we're like, we got eight. And he goes, huh.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
and starts looking around like this and I would think he would look at his computer that says all the tables he starts going when you've been hosting long enough you could smell the open seats you know well it was open everywhere that was the thing it was not busy but he goes looks around he goes like I'll find you I'll find you a waiter and then he runs off and he comes back with no one and he says like alright I'll go to your seat
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
And we go over, we get sat, and there's other people in here, and, you know, it's fine. It's normal. We didn't think anything was weird. It took, like, 20 minutes for someone to come by, and it was the same guy being like, so sorry? Getting you a waiter.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I'll get you all something to drink. No, no. And then five minutes later, pretty quickly, he brings this waitress and she takes our drink order and then it's okay. It's like, we'll be right back. And then 20 minutes passed by. What? This lady was gone. Eight is probably a large number for places. It was so empty. So empty in there.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
And the other side of the restaurant was packed with waiters and people eating, having a great time. Oh, no, no.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
well she gets our drinks after a little bit and we bring them over and we put in like some appetizers and some people for some reason are like oh i haven't thought about what we're eating yet we've been here for an hour and i have no idea what i want editors if you're watching not you but you know who you are it's yeah not them but the other ones you know the other ones you know i mean we order she comes she goes away 15 minutes passed by she comes back hits the other tables
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
You're fine. All right. I'm going to do this for a while. Editors make multiple clones of him and overlay it so he's moving like a centipede. All right. So in this game today, we're going to have a great time. We're going to have a great time. Points to the person who has the best time. Oh, you already figured out your wheel spin?
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
leaves not us comes back with two appetizers five minutes later puts in front of me and someone in the middle of the table we're just like do we wait at this point you at least have salad or breadsticks or something right no oh and three people at the end haven't gotten their drinks yet
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
I had to reach over, well, what she did, I totally forgot, when she brought the drinks, she set out some of them, set the tray down on the table next to us, and left. And I had to go grab them off of the tray from the other table and pass them down the table to the other people. That was a minor thing, when things started to go weird.
Distractible
Illegal Advice Too
We finally order, and meanwhile people are getting seated in our area as we're ordering food. They get their drinks out. appetizers and their full meals before we finish getting our appetizers and there's eight of us that's not an exhort anyway so i need i need advice potentially illegal advice on how you guys would remedy this situation starting with hedges bobs wade

and then hopefully gone this is what's wrong with today's generations tell you what oh speaking of knife you know what new knife i'm looking at the new steel uh a 22 lr knife
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Right? That's what I'm saying. I have no idea if it's actually better. But... Huh? Yeah? Yeah!
Distractible
When Was That Again?
It's going great. I've gone crazy. Oh, we knew it was only a matter of time. No. No, no, not at all, actually. Not at all, actually. But I cleaned some of the bullets. Wow.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Oh, it's probably one of those Nintendo things where it started as a Card company. So I'm going to say it's actually way, way earlier.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Whatever the percentage is. Yeah. So what I did was they have this like cleaner that I was like, it probably worked for that. So I put them in like a Tupperware thing with some paper towels at the bottom. And then I sprayed it down, which I was like, this is probably fine for bullets to be wet and sprayed with this.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Yeah, I think it was something where you upload a video of yourself... so that other people could see.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
it's not dead on very good guess mark i i like what he was saying about it's a 100 chance i'm gonna roll a d100 i'm gonna go with that answer all right i respect it here we go i'll put one out of 99 because it wouldn't make sense for sure sure sure well no 100 will be double zero oh yeah the 2000 slinky 1900 f fool oh shit what is
Distractible
When Was That Again?
chemical cleaner yeah sure sure probably fine anyway and then i went in the in the thing as it was shaking against the paper towels and i halfway through i was like this is dangerous no no what you should do is put them in the washing machine oh you're totally right what was i thinking that would be so much easier bullets love tide pods yeah anyway i wasn't like i i wasn't like a martini mixer you know just up by my ear yeah
Distractible
When Was That Again?
It probably was like a broken byproduct of some spring for a tank or something. And they were like, oh, this piece of shit. What do you think this is? Throw it.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
sight unseen i just slammed that video public didn't even check it might be the raw recording for all i know if it is honestly it'll probably go more viral than if it's an edited video so no worries either way his vocal warm-up was like i hate my subscribers i hate my subscribers i hate my subscribers i've done that before where i upload a raw recording and people in the comments are being like hey this is a odd uh wide version of it and i can't really hear your voice but great video
Distractible
When Was That Again?
There's a new, I haven't seen this before, but it's the inspiration section that just appeared and it'll, I'm assuming using AI, generate video ideas for you. My ideas are Escape Room Backrooms Edition, Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 Easter Eggs, My Top 5 Scariest Video Game Moments, The Real Life Story Behind Endo Parasitic 2, and it's top recommended, A Day in the Life of a Fire Evacuee.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
You know, I wasn't doing that with a whole bunch of those, but I was trying to gently just like make them rub. And then I bought some microfibers and I put them all there. And every single one of those was covered in green, like just coated in this weird stuff. Like just this sticky, gluey mess. But after a few rounds of like procedurally going to different bins, I've managed to clean them.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
I think the video before it must have been Gangnam Style. That was number one for a bit.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
So yeah, Conglum Style came out in 2012. So it was after that, I think, or maybe 2012. So I'm going to say 2018. That's my guess.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
This feels like a post Y2K kind of toy. But my question is, is it a post 9-11 toy? That really is the discerning. That really narrows it in there.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
I'm not sure if it was like worth the effort and time it took to do, but I felt like I dug this hole for myself. So I have to climb out of it myself. And you know what? It basically helped.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
I'm going to guess that this is in fact a post 9-11 toy, but not that far because I think it's a pre mission accomplished banner toy. I'm guessing this is the 2003 holiday season toy of our life. All right.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
So if they were still fighting in 1918, then it must have been 1919.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Oh, my God. Well, this would have been a year when the technology was probably still experimental, so it probably wasn't widespread. I'm going to guess they don't call it the roaring 20s for nothing. Those yappers were yapping hard 1920 right after the treaty.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
It's very close. It was the Roaring Twenties and then they lost their voice and they were just down to talking. Then they just played music in the 30s again.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Mark, it's a steal. I don't think it was a 70s movie because that's dumb and wrong. This is clearly an 80s movie, judging by the I've never seen it and I've never seen it and I've never seen it.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Don't know what you're talking about. But anyway, much like many things, I don't know what I'm talking about. 80s.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
I got to put an individual condom on each one of them, then lube it up, and then put it in the gun, and then fire them.

So, I don't know how old he is, who Mark Zuckerberg is. The Zuck? He's older than us, but not much older. Don't worry like that, man. Not much older, so he was probably in a dorm yorking it around 20-ought-two.

Nathaniel Briggs received the first patent for his invention. Oh, no, not automated washing machine. I don't see any patent.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
1907, the Hurley Electric Laundry Equipment Company launched Thor, the first electric washing machine to go on the market using the Alva J. Fisher prototype patented in 1910. The drum was powered by an electric motor on early motors. This engine was not watertight and the short circuits occurred frequently. The machine was therefore potentially dangerous and it did not wring out the linen.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
So I think 1937 is the first fully automatic washing machine with rinse spin cycle. So it both spun it out. But 1907 is when the first automated washing machine that you just throw clothes in and it goes with electricity and then short circuits and explodes.

Yeah, my dad, I think I mentioned he built muzzleloaders. So as a kid, I fired a lot of those specifically. So, you know, yeah, all those instincts don't translate to much else. I don't even think there were sights on them because they're very long. They're incredibly long. At least maybe it was kid brain, but I think they're really long.

Distractible

It's pitiful. No, I'm just kidding. No, they have a great set up. That's insane. No, that's pretty much what it is. And I've thought about doing exactly what they did, which is buy an old, like, 60-bay server, or maybe it was a new one. I can't remember what they did, and then just fill it with hard drives. That's how you get, like, so much storage.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
I didn't go that route because I was like, I don't want to build a whole thing for that, and then now I have a whole storage server anyway, so I should have done that.
Distractible
When Was That Again?
Yeah, exactly. And balls. Yeah, but no, that was a sad game. I mean, not sad. It was like, boo-hoo, they lost. It was just like, oof, hard to watch. It wasn't a good game.

Yeah. I've been told by, you know, a therapist in the past that anger is not always a bad emotion. Sometimes anger is very a valid human emotion that needs to be tapped into. Is your therapist Palpatine?
Distractible
We've Never Done This Before
No, no, it's like that if, much like many things, if you repress things, because I was, when I was a teenager, I was extremely angry all the time. So it's something that I worked on. But there's an unhealthy level of repression of certain emotions, and it is normal in a regular life that you're going to be angry sometimes.
Distractible
We've Never Done This Before
It just so happens that there's many things out there to get people angry and intentionally so or unintentionally. But at the end of the day, sometimes, you know, anger does motivate you to things. The fuck you energy I have is technically some outlet of that anger. Every time I'm like, I'm going to prove them wrong, whoever wrong, that's kind of anger coming through in a little way.

Surgeons in India just successfully removed the legs and buttocks of a parasitic twin from the chest of a 17 year old. That is interesting.

So I'm assuming that it's the same kind of idea as a chicken pox party, which also is not recommended anymore because there's a vaccine for that, just like there's a vaccine for measles. But if you do have a child with measles, do not host a party where other children come and get exposed to the measles. That's not how that one works.

There's a lot of, um, this is kind of like weirdly specific, but there's a lot of, and I'm not saying there aren't in Ohio, but there's a lot of really specifically at ambitious people here. And so there's a higher likelihood of meeting those other ambitious types that really want to kind of independently focused and like self-starting.

We've Never Done This Before
Um, and so that's, that's been really appealing and good for me to meet. And it's usually they come from other places. They're all over the country and the world, but this is one of the hubs where a lot of those people congregate. So I think that's good.
Distractible

I'm not a people person, but it's really, really handy to be able to meet people that are really skilled in certain specific skills and they're all in one place or within like an hour's drive. So that's cool.

This is kind of robbing that one a little bit, but I think in specificity, I think everyone should speak a second language.
Distractible
We've Never Done This Before
And again, I'm not fluent in Korean. I'm trying. But automatically, it opens up your worldview to know another language because in that, you can interact with at least one more culture. And that's big. In America, if everyone also spoke Spanish...
Distractible
We've Never Done This Before
there would be an incredible, like, uh, larger part of interaction happening with people like, uh, from Mexico or of Spanish descent or anything like that. And then Spanish also is a gateway language to like French and Italian and, and all those other romance languages. Um, and so there's just, there would, it would, I believe it would probably be a net good.

There's still be plenty of people that are prejudiced and biased. It doesn't stop anyone from doesn't make anyone a miraculously good person or fix everything, but it would, it would, they would at least be literate. Cause if they could speak to, well, maybe not. There's people that speak multiple languages, don't read it, but there'd be a little more going on up here. You know what I mean?

I did not tell you who is ahead. I wasn't counting either, so I have no idea.

And we're talking specifically about the trailers when the movie time starts, which has been getting egregiously high. Yeah, movies start like 10 to 15 minutes after their allotted time.

I have no idea, but it's, it is a weird amount of time that is dedicated towards these trailers and advertisements, which is, that is all they are. Their trailer and their advertisements for future movies, which I like trailers. Yeah. We always try to get there in time to watch all the trailers. Yeah, but it's too many. It is too many, I think, nowadays.
Distractible
We've Never Done This Before
There are usually about 20 to 25 minutes, I would say, in terms of trailers before the movie even begins. And they are fun to watch, but if you go to see a lot of movies, you see a lot of the same ones many times.
Distractible
We've Never Done This Before
Yeah, he won the equivalent of $574, which is not a ton of money. A movie theater can definitely handle that loss. But also some people were commenting, why didn't he just leave the theater at 620? You wouldn't finish the movie, I guess. But you can get a refund for a ticket if you really, really didn't like a movie. I think you can still get a refund.

Distractible
September 10th
Oh, wow. That's adorable. Oh, so it's both your item and this is how you're going to affect the time stream? Yeah, that's what I'm going with. All right, so you kidnapped an angliosaurus. Okay, gotcha. All right, cool. Wow, that was well done. Wade, go ahead. Get out there. I give you a slap on the ass on the way out. Slap.
Distractible
September 10th
And then I forgot that's why people hate winter in the Northeast is because it gets real drab.
Distractible
September 10th
Very high. Extremely high. So many of these plants, the human body has never adapted to even touch them. The protein interfaces mostly don't interact, but some of them, incredibly, incredibly itchy. So I'm not going to say he's dying or anything, but Wade, you are now itchy unbelievably. You are prehistorically itchy.
Distractible
September 10th
I hate to say this, guys, but that meteor is about to hit, so we should probably go.
Distractible
September 10th
No, yeah, we're gonna go. Ka-chunk. That one made me shit my pants. Well, this is interesting. 2560 BCE. That's before Common Era. Egypt. Giza. Weirdly, September 10th again. Oh, you guys, are you looking up what happened on that day? Oh, you don't know what happened in this time? No. Yes. I told you I know about the BC era. We have a computer in our time machine.
Distractible
September 10th
And if they don't. Party. It's funny. I was driving on 75 and I remember when I first started driving. Oh, so many years ago that there was construction on 75 and I was so it felt like coming home when I drove up 75 and the same lanes that have been closed. It's the same construction. Someone is getting paid bank. They're making so much money and no one is checking on him. No one.
Distractible
September 10th
I'm going to ban that from now on. After this one, you're not allowed to look up what happened on this day, all right? You just have to guess.
Distractible
September 10th
Here, I'll swing open the door. I swing open the door. There's a beautiful, pristine, glistening white, gigantic pyramid. And at the top is a golden mini pyramid at the top. It's glorious. There's a whole crowd of people around it. They're all cheering and celebrating. You kind of understand a little bit of ancient Egyptian, so you know that they're going, We did it. We did it.
Distractible
September 10th
And then, you know, they're asking a lot of that. Interesting. Wade, you're up. Please don't fuck anything or anyone. That's incredibly short-sighted of you. No, yeah, you can do whatever you want. Thank you.
Distractible
September 10th
What the fuck do you bring back? Hold on. You gotta wait. You gotta wait for their response.
Distractible
September 10th
and then all right so you stand there you shout uh in a language that they don't understand because you understand a little of them they don't understand anything you're talking about and they look at you funny and they're like they're all looking up at you because they're very short apparently and they start to call for like the the the guy in the corner with a whip hey baddie daddy to dami mami in egypt that's fine but where's the aliens
Distractible
September 10th
All right, okay. I'll come back to you in a minute. All right, so Bob Wade's out there. He's about to get flogged, and he's screaming, raving, holding his card up to the sky. You don't have to interact with him at all.
Distractible
September 10th
All right. I kneel before the fair chair. He is extremely old. Looks like he's about at the end of his life. And he was gazing wistfully at the giant pyramid. Like, oh, but Egyptian, you know.
Distractible
September 10th
cat god alien and so then i'm in charge now and i assume control of the whole situation okay cool are they do i have to wait are they on board with this yeah i think they are because they did notice a giant uh machine that appeared out of nowhere all of them did notice that or some of them nearby and the giant gush of goo that comes out whenever we land from spacetime
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah, and they really noticed when Wade ran out there and started screaming at the top of his lungs. So they really... It drew a lot of eyeballs. And so by the time you walk down, they see two almost equal height giants. And they've never even seen anyone of your height, ever. They allow you in the throne room. You do talk to the guy. Your broken Egyptian is a little faulty.
Distractible
September 10th
Doesn't get the full message through, but you are welcomed with open arms in the kingdom. And they don't quite make you ruler yet, but... You're now right next to the Pharaoh. You're 100% on board, can probably influence them whichever way you want.
Distractible
September 10th
He believes me. He does. Over time, you wear him down. Meanwhile, Wade is getting flogged the entire time. We're here for a while, I guess. So, you know, there's no immediate explosion.
Distractible
September 10th
And so slavery is abolished. Before anything can happen, that pharaoh croaks because he was very old. So he actually died almost two days after the pyramid was completed.
Distractible
September 10th
But your message was heard and he enacted some policy. Wade said the word.
Distractible
September 10th
Mark was writing something down there. Oh, I was trying to remember what the steps that Bob even took while I was saying all that, but I was saying that he died. Was his death unfair to you? He enacted policies. He enacted policies to start against slavery. You think that's unfair?
Distractible
September 10th
It sure is, but I think, yeah, I think, yeah, we'll figure it out if it lands on that. All right, my coin is the lady has heads, the lion...
Distractible
September 10th
All right, so it carries on as was. Tim Allen whispering in, he dies, but he enacts some policies. You won't know what the effect is, but it got the conversation started because honestly, they hadn't even considered it.
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah. No, there were no aliens. In fact, we were the aliens. Most likely, neither of you actually did as much as just the time machine appearing. But I'm only going to count with what you guys got. Bob, what'd you get?
Distractible
September 10th
So he's probably fine. All right. That sounds good. I think. Okay, all right, hop in boys. I think we only have time. For one more time.
Distractible
September 10th
Strange things occurring here in this one. 1776, Philadelphia. July 3rd. The only not September 10th that we landed on. I think I finally worked out the bug on that one. We open the doors and you see the early building that looks real fancy. Not quite like Capitol Hill, but kind of a little bit. It looks, you know, like nice. Looks like a government building.
Distractible
September 10th
You know, there's a lot of parks, horse-drawn carriages, people in twill suits, and other people in rags.
Distractible
September 10th
Well, see the thing about Cincinnati that I forgot, because if you look up Cincinnati population on any website, it says like, you know, 300 to 400,000. And that's what I've always thought. And it's like, Oh, Cincinnati, it's not that big a city. That's just like the Metro though, right? Yeah. I forgot that the Cincinnati area is like two to two and a half million people. And it's like, Oh wow.
Distractible
September 10th
They were already thinking about it. You thought they were whispering that we didn't think through the second amendment, what they really were thinking of like, man, this is a fucking weirdo. We got to get back to signing this declaration.
Distractible
September 10th
gloss over some of the stuff that'll get fixed i guess but you know there's some there's some adjustments we need to make here's my blockbuster card you guys come up with a filibuster let me tell you this one it's even bigger okay so they're listening to you uh and they're going uh-huh uh-huh but benjamin franklin does approach you and he takes that card and he looks at it really closely and he rubs it between his fingers and he's like how did you make this future go on
Distractible
September 10th
Oh, good thing it wasn't your objective to have the most profound change on the timeline. Don't eat it. I wasn't going to. There's this whole micro thing, real small.
Distractible
September 10th
I'm going to have this. He tucks it in his pocket. Man, Ben Franklin's kind of a klepto. Ben's like you. He liked to take things and he liked to sleep with a lot of.
Distractible
September 10th
My kite was stolen this morning. I don't want to talk to you. Well, I take your glasses and I run. Okay, you quickly snatch them off his face and you run as fast as you can.
Distractible
September 10th
You might have made it. You might have reinforced it, at least, or caused them to think it again.
Distractible
September 10th
That's so many more than I think. And it's been growing. So yeah, traffic has been getting much worse over there because there's no Metro at all.
Distractible
September 10th
Uh... No. Well, that's unfair! Too late, man. Too late. You only get one? We got so much to get through, no time to get- Is that a rule? Get in! Get in! It's almost out of power! We gotta get back to our time!
Distractible
September 10th
Dive! Dive! Actually, there was plenty of power. There was no reason to panic at all.
Distractible
September 10th
No. And then we're back. All right. So you step out to a brand new world. And let me tell you, it's not that different. Shockingly, very little has changed. All the bomb threats did prevent people from being in the buildings during the attack. But the Pentagon was still hit.
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah, so the odd thing is conspiracy theories are dramatically on the rise because all the bomb threats before did clear it out.
Distractible
September 10th
And there was a crazy man on the news, very small side story, but there was a crazy man that was unearthed after like some old archives got picked up of news stories that they saw security camera footage of some tall bald guy going in there screaming about how there was going to be an attack the next day. And then there was. So that was evidence compounding.
Distractible
September 10th
So conspiracy theory about September 10th, which they call it now, is really, really way higher than it is even today. And so people were more suspicious of, you know, the actions, but George Bush still, you know, war in the Middle East.
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah, slight differences, but, you know, you, Wade, you're famous now because people see you now and know you from your tape because it wasn't that long ago.
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah, you also notice that there's a suspiciously higher proportion of people that are bald and slightly taller.
Distractible
September 10th
It's not that much, but the average height has gone up by like half an inch across the board. And that's driven by more people that are six foot four and bald.
Distractible
September 10th
Also, the slave rebellion in Egypt, it happened anyway, but it was slightly less bloodshed, I think. I'm not 100% sure how those events turned out, but that was pretty decent. Because the meteor was going to hit anyway, it wiped out any evidence or any bacteria or any effect that we would have had that far in the past.
Distractible
September 10th
uh kind of sanitized everything so really we didn't have that there wasn't even a chance for wind from a butterfly's wings to even spread far enough uh to cause another ripple effect that that meteor kind of just it was a canon event there's one less dinosaur a few less eggs they're gonna be turned into dust
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah. It's interesting because you still have a dinosaur and you still have eggs and that's going to change some things in the future. So that is interesting. Bob, you want to open Jurassic Park? Build it and they will come.
Distractible
September 10th
There is something interesting. Microplastics are so much higher in everyone's bodies because by Ben Franklin stealing your card, he was so curious about it that he started the industrial revolution slightly before it would have happened because they found oil and he started turning it into plastics way sooner. There's so much more plastic waste in the ocean.
Distractible
September 10th
There's so much more plastic waste in the world around us. And everyone has not just a credit cards about a plastic in their brain. They have about 10 blockbuster cards.
Distractible
September 10th
But the Second Amendment is curiously changed from bear arms to have weapons. And that has thrown some weird legal loopholes into how people treat the Second Amendment. But people are still very, very much protective of their right to have weapons. The definition of which is debated throughout the rest of time.
Distractible
September 10th
Like, I don't know what they did. they rebuilt the whole highway two street lengths over and then they tore it all down and rebuild it over this way. And I remember they were cutting into a hill to do something there. And then I just see supports along that hill, no road just, and then it's moving again and cut down these lanes, open those lanes. It's very, very, someone should check in on that.
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah, that's pretty nuts. Side effect, Hugh Glass, famous frontiersman, trapper, trader, hunter, and explorer, was not as famous as he was back then because he was not mauled by a grizzly bear. Ooh. Yeah, so he's not well known for his mauling of a grizzly bear.
Distractible
September 10th
No, it was actually melted by the lava. All right. But some people who left Pompeii that day just so happened to be your partners in that spread your genes.
Distractible
September 10th
That's true. That's true. Let me see something. I want to see how what the effect of the lava had on wall carvings. Okay. No? Yeah, there were still plenty. Okay, so that definitely did survive. There still was a Third Reich. It just was not called Nazis. Let's call them, oh, Shotzi's. They're called Nazis.
Distractible
September 10th
But yeah, it turns out that Hitler and his, you know, being in World War, World War One still happened because Nazism wasn't even a thing. And largely the events of World War Two were more driven by the events of World War One and putting Germany into a, you know, an economically vulnerable and politically unstable time period.
Distractible
September 10th
He's probably right. I mean, it does, yeah, I would say it kind of leaked from one to another. So, hey, but that was pretty good. I have to say, the biggest change that I notice is Wade introducing his genes into the gene pool far sooner than it ever should have, so he had a profound effect on the average height in the world and more baldness in history. Ooh. So that was cool.
Distractible
September 10th
And you guys bringing dinosaurs to the future, that's going to be really weird.
Distractible
September 10th
Except they die instantly because their immune systems aren't ready for the bacteria and viruses of this era. 65 millions of lost evolution in their immune systems developing means they pretty much keel over within a few days frothing at the mouth. But their carcasses are still very valuable for science. So that's cool. But that angiosaurus dies in your arms, Bob.
Distractible
September 10th
You're cradling its head, you know, kind of like, unless its head is also huge. Well, its head is like the size of a small vehicle.
Distractible
September 10th
You're rubbing it while it's dying on the ground. It's very beautiful, but very sad. Wade, your eggs turn to mush inside the shells. What happens to like the seeds and the plants and stuff? They also turn to mush.
Distractible
September 10th
You think we should go get looked at? It's fine. All right, I gave points for Bob for having all the bomb threats. That was definitely the most significant of that time period. Wade, you had the most significant of Pompeii for the tiny last minute addition of had fun in the sheets. Everything else, no effect.
Distractible
September 10th
Oh. Yeah, so there was still people traveling in and out. I'm assuming at least one of them made it out. But right back to Bob with the Pharaoh business, that was definitely a more profound change. What, they're getting flogged for a month? What do you mean? And then the dinosaurs, I was going to call that a wash just because generally didn't do too much.
Distractible
September 10th
But I think maybe if we're going by impact, Bob bringing back a dinosaur was probably better than some eggs and some pine cones. So maybe I'll give him that one. Ha! And then, Wade, you, by giving Ben Franklin the Blockbuster card. I did not. The fucking Klepto stole it. Well, okay. All right, then. So congratulations, guys. You didn't actually mess up that much at all.
Distractible
September 10th
I don't think too much was changed for the good, but not that much was changed for the bad. And you guys did really good. That's surprising.
Distractible
September 10th
All right. So wait, you got a point for traffic. You got a point for it's a fucking thing. You got a point for had some fun in the sheets in Pompeii. You know, some points for founding father. Oh, Ben Franklin stealing your blockbuster card. And that's it. Okay. Bob, you got a point for seahorse to land horse to pegasus. You got a point for, uh, all the bomb threats possible.
Distractible
September 10th
You got a point for, uh, pharaoh outfit. Oh, no, sorry, the pharaoh. The, the slavery affecting. And then... Was that it? Oh, no, wait. No, the dinosaur one. That's right. I forgot. And a point for a dinosaur one, which if you read the scoreboard, it's four to four. Hey, one man show. Nope. One man show. We have another wheel. We have the bonus wheel to spin. Thank God. Unless it lands on two.
Distractible
September 10th
And I'm rolling. It's really rolling. Oh, I have to hit stop. Oh, sorry.
Distractible
September 10th
I was like, the anticipation was building so much. All right. Stop. Two? Two. All right. Uh-oh. It's fine. It's fine. Oh, what do you want to add to the wheel, Mark? You get to add a thing. Oh, what should we do? There's so many things that happened. It doesn't have to be related to the episode. Yeah, but it could be. Oh, I got whoever said fuck the most.
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah, I was laughing at Wade a lot just because of his ridiculousness. I think the it's a fucking thing made me laugh really hard. Yeah, that might be the bigger one. I feel like it goes to Wade. I won't argue. Okay.
Distractible
September 10th
Well, not train, not trains. We don't like trains. Trains, bad. In fact, never maintain those rails. Ever. Right, guys? Right? Old strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him. Well, you know, I don't see too many railroads being built. You'd think that with all those highways they would build, they would build, you know, I don't know, high-speed rail? No, Mark, listen.
Distractible
September 10th
Oh no, does that mean that Mark gets it or is it between me and Wade? I think it's between you and Wade, but either way, the result I think is the same. Does that mean we both get a point or we don't get any points? No, Wade got one point for biggest laugh. And then if we go by shortest being me, it would be me. Or if we go by shortest being the two of you, I think Wade is half an inch.
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah. I think I remember on the tour, you guys were back-to-back and measured, and it was like by this... Then again, my perspective was so low, I don't know...
Distractible
September 10th
I think we could say one per episode. Yeah, let's just do one per episode. I think that's okay. One per episode. That's fine.
Distractible
September 10th
We went on quite an adventure, Wade. You had the most profound effect on Gene Pool, and all of your other actions had nothing to do with anything.
Distractible
September 10th
It was a lever. Yeah, it was clearly a lever. It was heavy, too. It was a heavy lever.
Distractible
September 10th
I get more leverage because my arms aren't as long as yours, so I have more advantageous attachments to my bones. So, ha ha ha ha. Sure. Anyway, a terrible winner speech. Probably the worst one we've ever had. Bob, loser speech.
Distractible
September 10th
Thank you everybody so much for living with this for the rest of your life. Can't wait to see what the future is going to bring with all the changes that have occurred. They were very real and they're very true. Uh, so carry that with you forever and ever and ever and ever like a scar.

Horses just pull you. The horses can walk. I know they're mostly aquatic, but they're actually very strong on land. Don't know if you knew that.

September 10th
yeah basically i'm not gonna get into the episode yet because i want to talk about something that funny that was on the subreddit i've pissed off many people with my random hobbies and talking about shit that i don't know uh before never has there been as much protest against me pursuing a new hobby than the cnc people oh are you getting a lot of pushback wait really yeah i thought for sure it was the 22 people

Distractible
September 10th
I don't know. I know we're pretty extreme fellas, and we live a very adventurous... It's a fucking thing?
Distractible
September 10th
Yeah, that's why they found it funny. But honestly, for two episodes, for two entire episodes, none of us knew what you guys were thinking. So, yeah.
Distractible
September 10th
so weird about 3d printing and machines and all that they were just like oh man look at the kind of weird sex toys they're using no bad wrong not you the audience no bad wrong Anyway, so I'm no longer into CNC anymore. It's not because I got scared off from it, but it's because I realized what you could do with SLA resin printing molds and pouring metal into those molds to get extreme detail.
Distractible
September 10th
there's burn away resins that you can print SLA printing is the liquid resin not the solid filament and you can get certain resins that when it cures it turns into like it has a lot of wax in it or a waxy like substance as far as I I know.
Distractible
September 10th
And then when you put it into a mold and you cast the mold in a kiln, it literally burns away the resin, creates probably not great fumes, and you need to ventilate that properly. But then it's a perfect mold of that shape, and you can pour liquid metal into that, and then you have a metal part. A forged metal part. A forged metal part.
Distractible
September 10th
Cast metal part, whatever the difference between that is. So, hey, I'm going to get a large induction metal melting machine that's going to definitely not explode me in a fireball of death. And I'm going to start pouring random metals into random holes. Can't wait.
Distractible
September 10th
But I won that round, and so that means I get to host this episode, and I get to subject my friends, Bob and Wade, to my whims and my whimsies. Say hi, guys.

No, libraries are great. Everyone should have a library card. And I'm a hypocrite because I haven't gone to any of the Los Angeles libraries, but it's something that should be supported. And there's a reason why companies want to lock down everything because libraries are like a hub of information and knowledge sharing. And that's supposed to be That's supposed to be a cornerstone of society.
Distractible
September 10th
Libraries are such a wonderful resource and anything to try to defund it is stupid and bad and dumb and wrong. And it should be because the economic impact of libraries on the communities. I didn't even know about the 3D printing stuff. That's awesome.
Distractible
September 10th
But the economic impact of libraries on people being able to go there and get all the information they need, any book they need, renting DVDs, games, even filing taxes, applying for jobs.

Well, it's good that it's contained to one state. Yeah, thank God no other states are designed like ours. I miss Ohio, but something's about it I feel like. But if you're listening to this and you're a resident of Ohio, hey, you can always vote them out. Whoever they are that are making shit up and making it worse, you can always vote them out.

Yeah, and it's funny because if you read their data on how they made it, and I don't fully understand it all that well, but they were using a different programming language besides Python, and it was a more lower-level language closer to assembly for their programming, which is probably more efficient. But again, I'm speaking from a place of inexperience.

I don't know if that has much to do with it. But the way they did their reinforcement training, was very simple and made a lot of sense instead of taking every data in the world and just going, it'll fit!

Yeah, kind of that from my understanding, given that most of the neural networks that I've seen examples of are like one and a half pages of programming, you know, something in the order of 50 lines of code.

You know what's even weirder is the resurgence of, instead of fearing clowns, there's like this subset of the internet that is starting to become attracted to clowns. What? Have you seen this?

Coolrophilia is a paraphilia towards clowns. There's an associated subculture dedicated to it, and coolrophilia may intersect with coolrophobia, the fear of clowns. Now, the reason that made me think of that is because before I deleted TikTok, there were several clown TikTok people. Clowns. There were several clowns. Now they're on OnlyHonks.

Precision machining is such an advanced field in terms of manufacturing, but the reason why some of those machines cost so much is because if you have them... You make money, they are money making machines. It's, it's kind of this level of production that a lot of other companies can't have access to unless you're a very large player in the space.
Distractible
Right In The Sauce Box
And people will commission that for a lot of money because they need parts made. And so it's, it's not that you just buy a machine, you'll instantly make all the money you want. It's still, you gotta run a smart business about it, but it's like, it's just, it's accessible and it's cool.

Distractible

Is it kind of stretching the entire experience out along? So maybe it doesn't peak as high, but because it's taking all of the burn that you would feel stretching it out, or is it still just as much? Because I would think the fast would be all the pain that you would experience before
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
Here's where I stay slow. And trust me, I understand where Wade's coming from here. I understand. I get it, Wade. Oh, I get it. Thank you. I'll take the point. But... One of the side effects of spicy foods and capsaicin and stuff like that is the endorphin release.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
I hang some of them, but I don't know. You hang your T-shirts? Yeah. Why? What are they, fancy?
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
So I'm thinking if it's a much longer up, then the down where you start to feel the endorphins go is also going to be like basically a high. So you get to not go as sustained heat, which I can handle some hot stuff. I've eaten a lot of hot things. Probably my tolerance is less. But even if it goes really still very high and is there longer, that arc...
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
And like what Bob was saying, like you can do get used to it. And then that arc, it's like the endorphins are just going to be cruising for ages.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
Well, you wanted the high intensity because it'd be so fun. You said that. Your words are not my... It goes away quick, though.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
When I got pepper sprayed. When me and Ethan got pepper sprayed. Oh, yeah, you did that. It was about the same as eating a pepper going up and then the arc of it. 15 minutes, you know, that's about what eating something really spicy will last. This was very painful, and I wouldn't recommend doing it again. But the downturn, that lasted all day. And it was annoying, but it wasn't that bad.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
Like, it was just one of those things where, hmm, my face feels warm. And every once in a while, I was like, ugh.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
huh that's odd um but if i think about that in terms of like if that was also the go up on the other side and i didn't have the intensity of like getting pepper sprayed that wouldn't be as bad yeah but if you have to deal with the pain for like hours instead of or i don't know how long it lasted but like the increasing intensity for that there is something about spicy food that is not just painful it is kind of pleasant for those who like to eat a lot of spicy things like told you bob massacus
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
Well, I think they try to make things as cheap as possible. What I'm saying is like the lasting is not part of their decision for most of the industries. It's just cheap and therefore it does cheap and complex. That's where the two axes come down and it gets to where it doesn't last as long.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
You know, in my head, when you said five years, I was like, oh, that's a long time. And then I realized what we're talking about.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
I will say, yeah, that is that is the decision that consumers need to make of like what is worth their money, because the only time that I can remember where the cost went up because of consumer decisions is with cars like in that era where they were extremely unsafe and they basically were death traps. If you got in an accident at 30 miles an hour, a chance of survival, very slim.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
But because consumers were like, we want safer cars and safer cars are more expensive to make car manufacturers started to make safer cars that were harder to manufacture with crumple zones and safety features and all these kind of things, because that's what consumers they wouldn't buy the death trap ones, you know. Now, I don't know why I'm doing quotes. They were. Death traps.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
That's how you say it. Death traps, you know. But that's one of the few times where they go towards that. There's plenty of things that are available for purchase today that are usually reliable, but more expensive. And people do tend to go for the cheaper stuff. But that's up to everybody's decision.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
Different getting older question. In your late stage of life. Go on. As we enter the final trimester of our existence. Did any of you get this overwhelming urge for industry? Industry? Like personal industry or like... No, in a factory, an assembly line, Factorio style. I did play Satisfactory. Does that count? Right, right.
Distractible

Would it be better if your taxes were faster or slower than that system? Faster means from the sky descends a giant vacuum tube that goes to your house or chases you down and starts sucking your money out.
Distractible

You put your money in the chimney every night. You know the thing the Grinch shoved down the chimney that sucked up all the presents in the cat too? It's that, but it's sucking your money out. And you're like, you gotta hold on.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
I think I agree with Wade. As much as my body physically rejects the idea, I think he's right. Because this is how it happens anyway. You go to a cash register. It says tax right on there. You pay that amount. Shouldn't that be it? I taxed right there. Then and there it happened. I don't have that anymore. So all right, we're done, right? If I get my paycheck and I look at it, the tax is withheld.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
So that's what I think, because I was looking at CNC, the computer numeric control. No, we all know what you mean. And I was like, oh, not for me. That's too complicated. And then I went, ah, 3D printing. There's a thing I know. And ever since I've been looking at 3D printing and since, you know, Prusa so kindly sent me an unbelievable amount of printers, an unbelievable amount of printers.

Distractible

Fast doctor. There's no question that fast is better because we already live in the slow world. The slow is what we have and I don't want that. I've never gone to the hospital and it not taken six hours just to see someone. And I'm usually dying when that's happening. Not as dying as much as many people they're dying.

More specifically, I've been watching videos about resin printing, which is a whole different beast. Now, I know I'm basically beholden to Prusa, and I love them dearly and everything about it. Don't they have resin printers? They have one. It's a little older than what new ones are. And I'm not saying it's bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I've never done any resin printing ever.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
And I've heard a lot of things about resin printing that are, it's basically toxic. The fumes are hard to mitigate. It just gets messy because it's liquid. So you have to deal with the liquid that's in the vat after the print.
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
I love resinettes. I'll print you some resinettes. I'll send them to your house. Show me a video of you eating them. I want the little wrinkly ones. I'll get them real wrinkly for you. But the thing about resin printing is a high barrier to entry, but the quality of print is incredibly higher than what FDM printing, which is just the plastic melted extrusion. It can do...
Distractible
Faster or Slower?
Pretty much invisible layer lines that can print like actual miniatures for like D&D figures with incredible quality. It would look like you bought it from the store, you know, and you can make them all yourself. And who knows? That's probably how they make them nowadays. But you could do that at home if you can tackle that.
Distractible

So not only do I want to make an industrial military complex, I want to have fumes pumping out the ceiling. I want like a SimCity ass. like big smoke stack pumping out resin fumes into the sky.

Mark, you're going to love this part. I've loved everything so far.
Distractible
Mark's One Man Show
I think the answer to that is... Well, I would have known. I do know about the Challenger Deep.
Distractible
Mark's One Man Show
Anyway, I'm cutting caffeine because, you know, it's like it's just never actually hit me the way that I imagine things should. It's more about the B vitamins. And I've talked about that before and like the energy drinks. But now I just take a daily B vitamin supplement. And that's helping out a lot because when I'm taking to stars, it's just it's a long term. It's extended throughout the day.
Distractible
Mark's One Man Show
But as soon as I drink a cup of coffee, I go, oh, I'm so tired because it has a weird inverse effect sometimes. And it's just like, oh, man, I'm just like a sleepy time now. So I'm cutting it out and I'm going to be not doing it anymore.
Distractible
Mark's One Man Show
i've heard chemically in your brain it's like caffeine only works in small amounts periodically and if you get used to it unless you hit your threshold of caffeine it acts as like a depressant instead and you kind of just generally doesn't work as well more relaxing than anything but then you you that's why you keep elevating the amount and up and up and up
Distractible
Mark's One Man Show
I'm not trying to say that everyone out there shouldn't drink coffee or take caffeine. It's just that, like, ADHD medication is already a stimulant as it is. Like, Astaris is a milder one, but it's still a stimulant, and it still affects you, and then caffeine on top of that, it's just too many stimulants, probably not good for the body, not great for the systems, bad for the sleep.

You do enter a phase in your life when you get a workbench and you start collecting your tools. Tools.

Ready? Are you ready?

So, when I told you I was late because I was working on a thing. Mark, it's so good.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Sorry it was so loud. I tried to do a hack to get it to play for you guys.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
This will be a funny way to do it because I haven't done one of these in a while. And I had a bunch of problems with the software because I haven't done it on this computer in a while. And so I had to reinstall DaVinci and all my software, so... Anyway, did you... That admission actually gave me a headache.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
No, I wanted... Because I wanted it to be a small anecdote because it was off of the people that were talking about, you know... Because I got lead-free bullets, right? And there were some people that were still very flippant about it. Right? Some people were just like, I think the Californian got to him free to lead. So what I want to talk... What I want to do first is I have...
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
There's a couple points up for grabs, and I'm going to ask you two a few questions back to back. All right, Wade. How much lead do you think is in the human body naturally, as in used in biological processes or in proteins or things like that? Oh, a nanofoot?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Zero. Zero lead is used in any biological process in the human body at all. It is not found in any protein. It's not found in any cell structure naturally occurring. It's found in the human body, but just because of environmental exposure.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
I'm giving you a point, but I'm not. You don't want that talc foot. All right. Okay. So you both got that wrong. Bob, I'm going to ask you this. How many mammals do you think are out there that use lead in any biological process in any part of their body?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
The whale. No. Doesn't tie there. Okay. This is a mammal, yeah. Okay, so zero mammals. All right, cool. Yeah, there is no mammal out there from the tiniest mouse to the biggest elephant that uses lead in any biological function in any way, shape, or form. Okay?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Wade, how many living things on this planet, from bacteria to anything else floating around, fungus, plant life, anything, uses lead in any biological process in their body? Zero. Zero. There is not a living thing that is by the definition of living on this planet that uses lead in any biological process. Therefore, that's what nature thinks... of lead, because lead in any amount is toxic.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
This is not hearsay. This is fact. Lead is toxic in any amount because it interferes with biological processes. It mimics calcium. So your body absorbs it, goes into the blood brain barrier. There is nothing
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
nothing that wants lead there's lead resistant like bacteria out there there's lead accumulating things that will draw it in more than other things but there's no actual living thing out there that uses lead for anything in this cellular life that we have So what I'm trying to say about that is people seem to have this misconception about lead in that there's an okay amount to have.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
There's a, it's all right. And yes, we are completely exposed to it because of the industrial society that we live in, because of mining, incidental things get in the water. And yes, we are all still alive, even if we have a small amount of lead in there. But people who are talking about shooting don't realize that there is not just lead in the bullet. It's not about the lead in the bullet.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
There is lead in the primer. Lead, I think it's called lead staph, staph, staphonate? Is this entire episode just to get back at the gun people who told you to get lead bullets? No, this was supposed to be a small talk thing. The rest of the episode, I have no fucking idea what I'm going to pull out of my ass for. But I want to reiterate that this is not a casual thing.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
And there is, with modern primers that don't have lead in it and modern bullets that aren't lead-based, yes, it's a little more expensive. But also, there are advances in these things that get them better. And when you fire a bullet, the primer, which is like either in a rimfire, it's around the rim, or if it's centerfire, it's in the center primer thing. That lead...
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
goes into the air because it's combusted into its gaseous form. And so you have lead in every single shot. And yes, if you have a lead-exposed bullet, the heat will melt some of it and cause some vapor. The vast majority of it is from the primer. But both are not good. Lead just isn't good.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
And it's especially bad for children whose brains are still developing, whose bodies are still developing, whose systems are still developing and growing. Lead gets in the system. It can leach into your bones because it mimics calcium. It will eventually, if you get exposed to it for a long enough period of time, your bones will start to absorb the lead.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
It's just on my desk now. It's not serving any purpose except being on my desk.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
And it will then leach into your body throughout the entirety of the time that your bones... Wolverine. No.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Heavy bones, but really malleable. It's good stuff. Yeah, I just want to say very clearly that I'm not California crazy just because I don't like lead. Lead is pretty much universally understood by most of the scientific community as not good to have around. There used to be leaded gasoline. Why do you think it all says unleaded now? Now, hold on. I think we withdrew from the scientific community.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
lead fools anyway that's that's all i wanted to say about that is like lead is actually bad it's not a political statement to say lead there's no manliness from firing lead bullets it's not it's not it's not about that well there is because grandpappy told me there is you're right grandpappy i did a search mark and not to contradict you but it seems like lead is malleable and resistant to corrosion otherwise not good for anything so i think i'm corroborating you
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Yeah, we're going. this is like the weirdest snl cold open that's ever happened anyway hi you've been listening for a little bit but welcome to distractible this is the podcast that you love or else you're gonna get a face full of this just like me and my 22 it's very threatening and deadly i don't know i i swear to god people who are into guns just selectively hear things because that on on the
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
And yeah, it's there are still many pipes to this day in America and throughout the world that are lead. And in America, you saw it in Flint, Michigan. Well, they had other problems, too. But one of it was, yeah, there was lead in the pipes.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Which is also bad. That's also an element that is not found in any biological process. That just happens to be worse than lead.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
You know, it does have the coolest name. Quicksilver is a really cool name for something, but also coolness shouldn't factor in for anyone that's unconvinced about lead and its dangers. My God, there were people saying like, I've been a firearm instructor for 20 years or something. And I'm like, get a blood test. Get tested! Like, it's a simple blood test to see how much lead is in your body.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Yes, there is a chelation therapy that can get the lead out of your body, and yes, it can cause permanent damage, but it's kind of an insidious thing where it causes neurological damage over a long period of time. It's like a frog in a pot of boiling water. You won't notice it until it's suddenly a big problem.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
So keeping track of that stuff and using lead-free primers, I feel, is a perfectly valid thing to want. And stop drinking that. There's probably lead in there.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Anyway. Oh, one more thing. For all the manly men who are like, I want my lead. It tanks everything. your reproductive functions your testosterone plummets from high lead exposure and then when you shoot and you don't properly clean your hands because someone said lead wipes i actually already bought lead wipes a while ago but yes there are lead specific wipes don't use wipes made of lead oh no
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
It sharpens them. I love self-sharpening wipes. Anyway, alright, that's all I'll say about that.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Disclaimer, I have not personally checked every living being in the world for lead in their biological processes. It is totally plausible that there is some bacteria or some tree somewhere that has a very unique structure that does use lead. And we just haven't done a complete breakdown of it's like. internal biological processes.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
The data that I saw was of all the creatures that we do know how they work in their biological processes is, and then conjecture leads to the idea that since lead is toxic and it is bad for traditional biological processes, the life as we know it probably doesn't have lead in all of it. So it's an assumption, but it's a well-formed assumption based on data that has been extrapolated.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
But also I'm not a scientist and I didn't make the data in the first place, but it's pretty well known. There's a lot of studies about it and how bad it is. All I'm hearing is that Mark lied. No, I didn't lie. Big lead is going to come after me.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Yeah. I have nothing else for the episode. Well, well, well. Great episode, boys. Who won? No, no, no, no. We've got to fill this time. Oh, how do you feel about magnesium? Pretty cool. Take a magnesium supplement. Does it upset your tummy? No. Not really. You'd think that it would because I take all my vitamins at bedtime all at once.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
So I take a magnesium supplement, a B vitamin supplement, a whole multivitamin, and then something else. I forget what it is. But it's good for me, probably. Apparently, polonium is the worst element to ingest.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Yeah, that's the B vitamins. What's polonium? Toxic, radioactive, discovered by Mary Curie. Where have I heard that name before? I think she curied a disease.

There's a headline here. The world's oldest anus has an unexplained glow in Florida. Is this a sentient anus? I have no idea. I'll read the article if you want me to. In 2017, and he... It was 2017 and he was running. I thought it was 2017 and he was running kayaking tours in Cape Canaveral, Florida, taking people to see bioluminescence, a phenomenon in which some creatures emit light.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
In late October that year, two buses full of geneticists pulled up to the shore to join his tour. Two buses full of geneticists? All of the geneticists in Florida. Anyway, having come from Europe for a genetics conference in Orlando. That makes a lot more sense. I should read these.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Literally, people listening to the podcast and they hear 22 and they're like, that won't kill nobody.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Anyway, they rode an hour and a half to Cocoa Beach and were clearly excited. Quote, are we going to see the comb jellies? They kept asking. We really want to see the comb jellies. That's an actual quote. Comb jellies are some of the creatures that can emit bioluminescence. Perfectionism. particularly when agitated and water splashed by paddles or even hands.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
So if you've seen the video where people are paddling and swimming and it suddenly glows blue, that's there. But other organisms here glow in the same manner. So Brandao was curious why two busloads of scientists were so thrilled about them. Turns out geneticists study these organisms because they are among the oldest living beings on Earth and thus carry some of the oldest genes on Earth.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Comb jellies have been around for 600 to 700 million years. But about a year prior, the creatures made a splash in scientific world for an entirely different reason. Their unexpected pooping process.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Sure, sure. The transparent oblong jellies shocked scientists with their number two tricks in 2016 when evolutionary biologist William Brown showed videos of them defecating at a conference. Tricks are for kids. Until then, scientists believed that comb jellies ate and excreted through the same opening, similar to other simple organisms.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
But Brown's videos showed that they had a mouth in addition to an anus. Big news in the animal world. It was such a big deal, it merited publication in the journal Science, which stated, quote, the butthole is one of the finest innovations in the past 540 million years of animal evolution because it made eating more efficient and more hygienic.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
I really wish I was the driver of this bus of geneticists as they're talking excitedly about this. And I get why this is a big deal, I think, because this is one of the oldest creatures, so it's like, oh, buttholes evolved, probably. I haven't read the rest of it, but buttholes evolved, oh, much earlier than we thought. That's great. Interesting, I think.

Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
No, we had a dire intro for knives. Oh, wait, no, we were talking about all those lead-based knives that we talked about. Listen, I don't remember the beginning. I barely remember what any of these point designations mean back in forever ago. So that was so long ago. But we got the future to look forward to, and this episode is not over. So lay it on me, guys. Carry me to the finish.

And like, what was hilarious about it is that is the every single person who made a big like essay about that. And, you know, I respect the trying. That's fine. I'm not blaming that. But every single one of them said the exact same thing that the people in the gun store said. The exact same. It was like I was at the gun store again. Like, oh, yeah. Great. That's all the same account.
Distractible

Yeah, not necessarily, I guess. There's probably some people out there with, like, negative butt, you know? So I don't think that qualifies as having cheeks.

Oh. I do have an anecdote. This is actually something happened the other day. I think just yesterday. You know I have my truck now, right? You have some truck nuts? No, I didn't. Not yet.

No, well, okay, so I have to do a one-man show, but you guys need time to write it. That should be next week when we record next, but we need to figure out who's going to host next episode.

This summer, I want to say. But we did Council earlier in the year. We did the February 19th. So when this comes out, we would be very close to that.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Okay. All right. That sounds good. You know, when we read the Constitution, it'll probably be a surprise.

So it's decreed. Next episode is the second semi-annual. Bi-annual. Bi-annual Council of Distracted. Bi-annual? What's one annual? Annual. Monogamal. Monogamal?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
All right, cool. All right. Well, anyway, thank you, everyone, for listening to this. Do you want to give a one-man speech? It should be like a warm-up. There's no winner or loser speech. Time management is such a valuable skill. It's never too late to learn how to manage your time correctly. Thank you for listening and or watching. Thank you, Bob and Wade, for participating in this.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
And I appreciate all of you. And I look forward to giving my second ever one-man show in my life. I've done quite a few more than the average person, apparently. Follow the podcast for more. It'll be a new season very soon, and I don't know what that means for us, but we will determine it in the council. Podcast out.

I don't think we're going to be sponsored by that drink company anytime soon.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
I wouldn't mind a drink that just tasted awful. And that's why they made Red Bull. They were like, we wanted it to not taste great and taste more like medicine. So the people thought it worked because there is some psychology to that. My problem is I actually like taste. We're not sponsored by Red Bull.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Oh man, we got to do small talk first. By the way, this is the podcast where I'm the host because I won last week and then Bob and Wade are here going to compete to be the next host. next week or in four days or whenever it is.

It's fascinating because your dogs are tiny. So in my mind, your entire yard, any woods nearby is devastated like toppled trees. Somehow piles of dung like a Jurassic Park when the guy goes like, that's a big pile of shit. That uncovered by the snow. Is this just like a square this big or...

Man, that is sad. I'm sorry, man. Hey, I'm content. Have you tried getting into Knives?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
I will tell you, though, I used, you know that sharpener that I obliterated last week? I actually used it I read the guide and I used it on my kitchen knives which I've known have been dull forever like I have those colored like Cuisinart shitty cheap knives
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
you still have those same ones i remember those okay and they're horrifically dull like horrendously dull they're very old but i i used the uh the sharpener and it took a while to get like the actual consistent angle going most of the time we go and i jostle all over the place once i got it and i actually used oil it started working and my god they're sharp again i i honestly hold on hold on rewind

The only way to get a... secure connection is to own the fiber from one point to the other. And what I discovered recently is AT&T offers that as a service. They will run the fiber from one to another place, a new line all the way using old conduits and stuff, but a new line all the way from one building to another to do that. And I asked like, whoa, why would that be for?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
Just antagonizing me, and this is not fair. Look, I'm trying to put it out there. How many knives have you sharpened, okay?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
But what was the sharpener? Was it a sharpener or was it just the thing in the knife block?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
So you didn't sharpen. So that's the thing. This is why it's mind-blowing to me, and I feel like your antagonistic attitude is not recognizing this. Because it took me a while before I realized that wasn't a sharpener. That's just to get rid of any excess shavings of metal that have flaked off from the various things you've cut over time. But with a sharpener, this sharpener was $20.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
I've always, my entire life, been like, when a knife goes dull, that's just it. And for some reason, I've never connected the idea that I could make a tool that I have last much longer than I could ever imagine. And I knew with, like, hammers and shit like that, like, those tools, you could do that. But for some reason, knives to me were always like, oh, man. I can't do anything once it's dull.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
But it took me five minutes. Five minutes, and I did the paper test, and suddenly my kitchen knife that I'd had for five years and never sharpened it once could just slice through paper like that. I was like, holy shit, it worked!
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
I need to write this down. What was it called? A dick hardener. All right, do I ask for that, or? That's for knives, or? It's for your tool. Is that like a brand name, or is that just generic?
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
You guys are asking a lot of questions I don't know the answer to.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
It is interesting. It is crazy. I have no idea what steel those knives are made out of because they're like the blade is coated as well. So it's colored from handle to the edge of the blade, except for where it's worn through.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
And they say like police stations do it all the time. Secure government buildings do it all the time because they need no one to be able to get in that or have any other. So AT&T or whoever does the internet, they build it and then they hand off all the equipment. So it is a thing that can be done. We just don't have anywhere close to the resources to be able to do that.
Distractible
Mark Prepared For This
It's blue, orange, green, yellow. Oh, the whole thing is colorful. That's right. Everything's a different color. But yeah, even those can be sharpened, even if they don't hold their edge as long as anything else. It's not rusty, so I just shaved. Wade, you can eat those.

Anyway, with this, I've started buying MacBooks and Mac computers for my editors because it's just beneficial for that. So I run a business technically. And so I wanted to sign up for a business account with Apple because I heard that if you do enough business with them and you have a business account, you can get discounts over time. They have a more official pipeline.

Bowl of cereal. Wake up. No school. Because I'm four. Backyard. Grass. Play place. Trees. Oh, it's cold out, actually. Bundled up. Probably, maybe snow. Not yet snow. No, no snow yet. But cold. Cold. Look at the sky. Can't see. Blurry. No glasses yet. Can't really see much. All very blurry. That's my slice of my life. I was confusing dreams with reality a lot at this point.
Distractible
Slice of Life
So it might have been one of the moments where I was in the backyard and I start floating up in the air and then rising over the tree line. But it's like the fog of war in a video game because my entire life had not expanded beyond the domain of my house and yard. So I was just gray. I was descending past the simulation, you know?

Slice of Life
So DOS was the the precursor to Windows and stuff like that. I played some DOS games. I just Star Wars DOS game. I Yeah, but inherently DOS is a less accessible computer than Windows. And so Bill Gates wanted Windows to become the gaming platform. So when Windows 95 launched, Bill Gates had a huge campaign in which he starred in actual video ads saying Doom was coming to Windows.
Distractible
Slice of Life
They get dedicated yada yadas, whatever. Okay, you know how Apple is all about their very catchy, streamlined branding and advertising and stuff like that? Their business site, I feel, is made specifically to be as stupid and as boring and dull as every other enterprise-level nonsense that you could possibly see online. It just doesn't make any sense. It barely works. And I had to go contact...
Distractible
Slice of Life
And it was all a big, it was a big thing. There was a lot of promotion behind it. Because Doom was already, it was an extremely popular game. I'm not saying it wasn't popular before this, but for more people, it became suddenly more accessible because it came through Windows.
Distractible
Slice of Life
Or was that when you no longer had to do that? When it came to Windows, you didn't have to launch DOS mode. It could launch right from Windows. Interesting. Cool. Man, going to DOS mode on computers, I forgot that that was even a thing back then. Yeah, you had to reboot in DOS mode to play certain games. Now the terminal, you know, comes up.
Distractible
Slice of Life
And I've actually had to do a lot more terminal stuff or command prompt stuff lately, especially with the server. Because, like, you've got to do everything from, like, SSH commands into the server and all kinds of stuff like that. So I've actually... It's weird going back to it. It's very bizarre having to CD into directories and...

Although Linux, you know how I made fun of Linux people a while back? I was saying they had to do all kinds of stupid shit to make their shit work.
Distractible
Slice of Life
No, I've done it now and I want to make fun of it because I want to read you a command I had to type in to make this shit work because inherently in Linux there's a... There's a parameter called swappiness, which stands for how much the system has a proclivity to swap your memory out onto the hard drive, right?
Distractible
Slice of Life
So the command to get the swappiness down... I was talking... I had to search a lot for this. To make this change... I had to go into the terminal, type sudo nano etc sysctl.d slash 99-swappiness.conf, and then I had to make a new variable inside this file called vm.swappiness equals zero, save it with control x and then y, and then hit enter, and then I type in echo space zero.
Distractible
Slice of Life
line sudo t proxys vm swappiness and then i verify it with cat proxys vm swappiness and then i i changed one parameter in linux one goddamn parameter nice job guy thinks he's computer jesus because he turned swappiness off Just, dude, I felt like it when I had to figure out how to do this shit. And someone who does Linux is probably like, this guy's an idiot.

You should have typed sudo nano butthole type sloppiness. I don't even understand how anyone would know what these commands were if someone else didn't tell me, right?

I mean, admittedly, computer science in school was a little outdated even when it was happening. I remember because we had a visual basic class, and I was like, oh boy, I can't wait to learn to be a programmer. The visual basic's awesome, as I copy and paste 20,000 nested functions.

I just remember typing class and then playing Oregon Trail. I did not know. I might be wrong about this, but it's C, then C++, and C sharp is actually C++++, but they're stacked into a symbol because if you take four pluses and stack them, it becomes the sharp symbol or the pound symbol.

I saw the store for two hours and then I went to bed because I signed up the night before and I went to bed and I woke up and let me see if I can, if I go here and I click on shop online with a business account, sign in, wait for it.

Each one of them being like, I don't know why this is a problem. So their solution, their solution was to create an entirely different e-commerce site for which is just the Apple front store, but it says Markiplier on it. It's like, this is your custom store. I'm like, I didn't need this. I did not need you to make my own store for me because it doesn't make any sense.
Distractible
Slice of Life
Well, that's easier than making their base website work. I know, right? So this isn't apple.com. You see at the top, it says Apple store for Markiplier. Welcome! Can we all go there and shop? No!

I went back to the email chain that I had with Apple and I was like, okay, the custom site is cool and all, but I'm still running into this other problem with your regular business site.

they want you to really work for those rewards it's so regressive though because one thing about you know it almost to an excessive degree is apple tries to simplify things that's not just me complimenting them sometimes it's overly simplified and really trying to pursue the ultimate you know Simplification sometimes gets really in the way of everything else you're trying to do.

This is intentionally dumbed down. Intentionally dumbed down so much that it has made it impossible to actually buy anything. Which is the whole point of this store. Isn't that the whole point of Apple as a business, a big corporation? I need to buy something and I can't. I just can't.

I have to do it or I'm going to go to a distracted jail. I recently started watching some videos about forging carbon fiber, right? Sure. Which is not really what it is. It's not like you're in a furnace or anything. It's just epoxy pouring a bunch of carbon fiber all fucked into a mold, right? Yeah, exactly. Some of those were real words. And so, no, that's exactly what it was.

I look in the pile of beer bottle caps that are in the mug of beer, the beer mug that they have to make it seem like they drink all the time. I look in there.
Distractible
Hide The Penny
But what's cool about it is if you get the right heat resistant epoxy and you get a heat resistant mold, you can get all your molds from 3D printing. So you can 3D print the negative of any part you could possibly want and then forge carbon fiber with it. But also, not only do you put the chopped carbon fiber in, but you can put long strands of reinforcing fiber along the length of your part.

Where's your penny, Mark? Where's your penny? In the room. So is mine. Anyway, I go over to the creature in the corner. I lift whatever's on it off of it. And I go, hey, how's it going there? Oh, aren't you cute? Hey, what have you said, buddy? What's in your mouth? What's in your, open your mouth.

I also, hearing the sound of what might have been a penny, dive into the filth, and I try to form the exact shape that the... I strip my clothes, and I try to get into the position that that person was just in to try to see from that level where a penny might be.
Distractible
Hide The Penny
And that will make it twice, about twice as strong as aluminum in some cases. And this is with chopped fiber, like pieces, not straight. Obviously carbon fiber by itself would be way stronger, but the idea of quickly in a 24 hour period, turning around a custom part that is twice as strong as aluminum without having to CNC mill it, that appeals to me.

It's been up and down because we've been testing it, but we haven't been running it. So the past month has been the first time it's been like running every day, chugging, you know, beautiful renders.

But Kenwood Mall is great because it's central. And I think a city still wants that. There should be that because it's like people want to go there, number one, just because it's kind of nice to have this big building with a lot of little stores.

I was, you know, you know, it was amazing in the beginning was you couldn't shoot the body portion and the face portion at the same time. So I was locked down. You literally could not move your head and they would capture your facial gestures in this orb. And you couldn't move your head. And I'm such a physical actor and it's all connected, you know.

I had my phone camera and I had my notepad and I just said, hey, I'd really just like to sit down and watch you work and watch you work the phones and just watch you do what you do.

And it's funny because I know what this process is now. Yeah. And people, they come to you and they're nervous and they're afraid in a way.

And, you know, I saw him working those phones and he had a little bit of a temper sometimes too, which I also just loved, you know. And after that, we usually have to have a drink with somebody for really for them to feel safe with you. That's what I found. And after you have a drink with them, all of a sudden...

Certain people have tension in their bodies in certain places, and it makes them move a certain way. Mike had a sort of... like a tension in his solar plexus area. And it sort of tilts his pelvis forward a little bit. And it's just a subtle thing.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
But the physical work that I've learned how to do was, if you could start picking up some physical qualities of a person, it actually starts to inform a lot about them. And there's a toughness about someone who's holding their pelvis. I mean, you know, where they're holding their solar plexus like that, you know, it's someone who's like protecting something and it makes you walk a certain way.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
And it sort of pulls down on your spine, your vocal cords in a certain way. And if you can just listen to that a little bit, you start to get something about the person. And, yeah, so for Mike it was that, you know. These little things, I don't know what it is, but when I'm watching someone, I'm like, oh, that's really interesting. I want to try to assume some of that.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
But I also found when you start doing that, there's an inner quality that starts to come into view. Well, I think that's really interesting. Okay, good. I mean, sometimes I start talking about this and people like literally glaze over. They're like, uh, pelvic? Okay.

It's like, I just, I see that as like the aesthetic that I want to, you know, that is my North Star, if I could find a way of doing it. But to just do... All-out comedy that's so physical.
Fresh Air
Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
And that pratfall is such an interesting thing because, you know, in comedy, what I find is that you have to be very open to play. And it's not an inner thing. It's this open thing and it happens in this kind of special space that's outside yourself. And so you have to be very open and aware and ready to grab whatever's being given to you and then play with it.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
And that pratfall, I think it's the one you're talking about when I come up the stairs.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
That was an accident. Oh, it was? Yes. But that's the thing. If you're in the flow of comedy, the accidents are the gold. Those are the gifts from God. There's another moment in the movie where Duncan farts when Max McCandless comes in to confront him, right? And that was like the acting gods just filled my belly with gas. And I was like, here we go. And poor Rami looked at me.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
He was so outraged and humiliated. And it was just the perfect... It was like, oh, we're into the scene. And it was literally that one take was the take that Yorgos used. But I guess why I'm telling you that is like... Great comedy is something that happens spontaneously and is playful. The same thing happens with drama. But people are so much more well-behaved around drama.

So those moments, I can't lift my butt up and let one rip in Spotlight or Foxcatcher. Maybe Foxcatcher, but nowhere else.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
Yeah, I mean, it's such an interesting character in that way because he wants to project himself as the freewheeling, free-loving, libertine centralist. But really, at his core, he's incredibly conventional. He's very conventional in his idea of a man's place in the world and a woman's place in the world.

The only time you want to do that kind of scene is if it's for comedy. It's just so horrible and awkward. And it's so horrible and awkward for everybody else.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
Honestly, not in my wildest dreams did I ever see myself coming from, you know, You Can Count on Me or even a romantic comedy, 13 Going on 30 or In the Cut to doing a superhero movie. But, you know, you mentioned Robert, Robert. Robert revolutionized the sort of tentpole studio film and really the industry by his performance in Iron Man. And they took a big swing with him and it really paid off.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
It's the man-canceling suit. It makes you look big everywhere you want to look small and small everywhere you want to look big. It's the most humiliating thing in the world. I had a little loincloth made for it at one point as the years went on because it's just so not modest. And so it's the most vulnerable thing in the world. As an actor, you learn to love a costume.

Mark Ruffalo Hates The Hulk Suit
You learn to hide behind props. You learn to... sink into a set and and lose yourself in the world but when you're in green screen and you know it's just you and you're naked and it's all your imagination you have to put things there that aren't there you have to play off people that aren't there You have to use props that aren't there. This is in the beginning. It's changed quite a bit now.

But you know what I found? All the theater training that I had, you walk onto a stage and you're in a black box, basically. You have to really develop your imagination to make that place a forest or a castle or, you know, a desolate landscape and, you know, Samuel Beckett's mind of nowhere and no place. and make that real and something that you can live off of.

So it was first lockdown, I'd say June or July, and I get a phone call from this unknown number. And it's this woman, this sort of Spanish, Latin-sounding woman, saying, my husband's asked me to call you.
Lucky Boy | Tortoise Investigates
Gareth | Lucky Boy Ep1
I was like, yeah. And then alarm bells started going off. Because I remember being at school at this time. And there being all these rumours. And we all kind of knew that something was going on. But we didn't know for sure.
Lucky Boy | Tortoise Investigates
Gareth | Lucky Boy Ep1
You either did well in your exams at Christ's College or they weren't interested. They just wrote you off? They wrote you off completely. I mean, they wrote me off completely and they wrote him off completely.

Gareth | Lucky Boy Ep1
And he was saying, look, if I got you to a police station, would you talk? I said, look, if I remembered anything... that wasn't an embellished memory, then absolutely. But I can't guarantee my memories for you. But I do know what happened to you was wrong.
Lucky Boy | Tortoise Investigates
Gareth | Lucky Boy Ep1
You know, everyone knew it. But, you know, the culture at that time was not a problem. It's not really a big, it's not a big deal. Were you all like, you'd all have fantasies about her? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Still do. No. But, look, I was talking to one of our friends, who will remain nameless. He was saying, what good is it? It happened so long ago and she was quite fit.
Lucky Boy | Tortoise Investigates

She's extremely uncomfortable. She's devastated. You've broken 10 years of trust and love from our family. We just can't believe this is even happening.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Yeah. So, and he was receptive to it. He understood. I said, you know, it's up to you to tell her, you know, your wife, how, you know, why you can't come over or why you shouldn't come over. Um, initially that's, that was what I told him. And, uh, now he controls that narrative, but, you know, talking to my wife more, we're like, I really feel horrible, uh,
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
knowing that she has no idea she's kind of a stooge here what's going on and you know they're they're he is such a religious church going leads ministry and charity this guy i mean he was a picture perfect just model for a christian man too which adds to the the complete just blowing our minds that this happens just unbelievable so now it's like well
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Should we be honest with our nanny and tell her what happened? Yes, you have to. Knowing that she's currently undergoing so much stress and stage four medical treatments and completely shattering her world.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Maybe. Yeah, she's very, very undying optimist, the most positive person you could ever meet.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Yeah, so I'm not sure if that's because she really just sees the best in everything and she's oblivious to some of that. But she has to.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Yeah. So... How do we even... go about that conversation that just my wife to her. And then no, it's both of you. It's a complete shock to her. How do we handle that?
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
And we've also recommended her to others and friends of ours that they also sit for too. And I'm just like, boy, I feel like there's some liability with at least knowing that this behavior is there. I don't know if I should extend to others or just completely keep within a family as our own issue. Because it could just be an obsession with my wife and that could be where it ends. Yeah.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
She's made it pretty clear that she definitely doesn't want her to feel like she can't come over.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Okay, and luckily her time is now reduced a bit because our kids are older and we have school. Sure, of course. So it's not full-time, so it wouldn't be a giant impact, which makes me feel a bit better, too, if she chooses not to keep coming.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Yeah, I'm just hoping it's not a complete blindside. And if it is, I'm just like, boy, with what she's already going through, I feel so bad because she doesn't have a lot of options or money. Well, and let me tell you this.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
I told him I'm not going to tell her you can, but then I was like, well, crap, now he controls the whole narrative, which also kind of worried me.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
The front door was open, and he asked to speak outside. We caught the first part on the ring camera. We have the recording. It's just of him saying, hey, come talk to me. Right as the door closes, hey, I wanted to, and then it cuts out. So she knew that it's by motion, so she kept trying to move on the front porch to make it record.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Unfortunately, it didn't, because she was like, oh, my God, she wanted that unrecorded. But at least the first part with him asked her to come talk in private. That is recorded and captured.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Thanks for taking my call. I'm okay. Thank you. I appreciate you taking my call.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
My question is, do we tell our nanny that her husband propositioned my wife?
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
Yeah. Tell me about what happened, man. So some quick background. We've had a nanny for about 10 years now. She helped raise both our children. Oh, so she's not a nanny. She's a family member. She became family. Her husband and both have become family to us over 10 years. They have no kids of their own. So our kids basically, of course, became their kids too.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
So that's all our kids know is them for sitting them. And they've been a huge part of their lives and ours. And it's been great for 10 years. And they're a huge help for us. To sprinkle in some other context, she is currently battling stage four cancer and she hasn't for the past year. Yep. Cause why not?
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
She beat it about five years ago, once before, and then it came back and now it's stage four and she is a strong woman and she's fighting again. So we have all the hope in the world for her and she's got a lot of strength. So we're, we're rooting for her and she's doing great. And she never, never stopped working through that time. She, was watching the kids, never had issues, still showing up.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
He would often help her and come as a support for her, her husband, to help with the kids when she was tired or sick. So it was still amazing watching those two also help together. So that's been great until, of course, just recently, as you could tell from the question. So a few weeks back, there was a short gap in time. She couldn't watch her kids, so he volunteered.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
to fill about a one-hour gap that we had in our schedules, which he's done before, and it works out great. So he was there when my wife got home to take over, and he asked to speak to her in private, which she did outside with him, thinking that one of the kids may be in trouble.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
But he proceeded to tell her how gorgeous she was, not just beautiful, but gorgeous, and that he sees how she looks at him. Just completely shocked and mortified my wife, and she was basically stunned. And she said no.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
That's the first thing she said. I'm not sure what you thought I was looking at you like, but that's not at all what I want. Happily married, and you need to think of your poor wife right now, what she's going through. I can't believe you even asked me that. Um, he then said, you know, you know, I can be discreet. I've been in the military.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
I've been discreet before and just completely blew her mind as to what he was telling her just in shock. Right. So she called me and told me I left my work engagement and came right home and talked to her. Cause she was in shock and just very uncomfortable. She was very upset. So I asked him to talk to me, and he did.
The Dr. John Delony Show
Our Nanny’s Husband Hit on My Wife
The next day, we spoke, and I made it very clear and drew a boundary that I said, hey, here's what happened. He did not deny it. He said, yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that. I shouldn't have acted. I feel dumb now. I said, well, you feel dumb because you got shot down. But just so you know, you are not welcome at my house anymore. My wife doesn't want to see you anymore.

Jesus' New Testament. I forgot. Look at this heathen. All right, what else we got? What else we got? George Foreman, y'all, let's talk about, just for a second, we should at least acknowledge the passing of George Foreman. Absolutely. That was a heavy loss for the boxing community and for a lot of other people, man. He was a legend, like a real life.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
There's a generation of people that know him as... The oven man. The grills. The grills, yeah. Even though he ain't own the company at the end. I need that. Yeah, he sold that joint in 99. But... $438 million.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
He did just fine. Take these grills. Yo, for real. But George Foreman, to me, is such an interesting dude just because of his journey.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
Grill issues aside, in addition to making the shitty grill, he won an Olympic gold medal in boxing at 18. Two-time heavyweight champion. Was known, of course, with Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle. I think that was 74. He was a legendary boxer, considered one of the heaviest hitters of all time. And that didn't go away, even when he came back the last time to box. Sure did.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
But the thing that matters to me about George Foreman is, like, a reminder of what life can be. Like, you can literally go from the villain to the hero. And in the 1960s, he was a monster. He was, like, considered, like, evil, especially against Muhammad Ali and others. He was the person that nobody wanted to promote, nobody liked. They said the fans wouldn't like him.
The Joe Budden Podcast

The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
He couldn't sell a product because they said he just didn't have the right personality for it. By the time he died, he might be, other than Muhammad Ali, the friendliest, happiest, most loved boxer in American history. He went from the villain to the hero. He went from an orphan to a boxer to a champion to a minister. You can do and be anything in the world.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
If time will wait it out, if you do the work, you can be anything you want. And so for me, that's the Foreman legacy.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
So, like, for example, we used to have, like, around starting in, like, 2010, we had Harry Belafonte. We had Jesse Jackson. We had Minister Farrakhan. We had, you know, anybody that was over a certain age.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
So like when somebody like Kobe, rest in peace, passed away, we didn't have anything because you couldn't foresee that. But for the older people, we definitely had them locked in. It makes sense, right? Well, Harry Belafonte, we had interviews locked up, all that stuff. But then there were some young rappers, because I thought about it because you said rappers. There were rappers who we thought...

I made right with a lot of the Flip the Network people, just a lot of people that I wronged. Even if they wronged me, I looked at my part that I played in it and said, yo, I apologize for that shit.

The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 811 | "Blood In the Water"
That should be the episode cover. Look at the bike, yo.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah. Rolling Stone is usually pretty credible with vetting sources. That's what I'll say. Usually. Usually. And I don't have any reason to think it's not real. But who knows? They released it and he's on audio. acknowledging that he aggressed, that's the language he used, his former girlfriend.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And she said, you, she named like three things he did, like you grabbed me, you choked me, all these things, and he was like, that was all covered under aggressed. Which is a little bit of a snarky take where you're apologizing for being violent to somebody. And for a lot of people, that was not a smoking gun. Confirmation?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, but confirmation of what he'd been accused of, and a lot of people had been running for him saying he didn't do anything He's innocent. He's being framed. He sort of understated what he did, and this audio kind of changes that. The timing of it is interesting to me. Yes, I'm saying. The why of it is interesting.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, right. So I wonder if somebody said, look, I have this trump card, and I'm going to wait until he's revived again to do it. Because if you dump that all at once— he can then recover from it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That part I don't know. I didn't see a source or like an allegation of a source, so I don't know. But I'm genuinely curious about the timing of it. But regardless of the timing of it, if he did it, people have a right to play that card whenever they want. So I'm not defending it, but it is interesting to think about the strategic nature of maybe the release.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
There's some people in Hollywood who don't want Jonathan Majors to win, whether you agree with him or not. It's true. It's been very clear. I've heard this on camera, and I've heard this behind the scenes. There are people who feel very strongly about him, honestly, in ways that they don't about other actors personally. or producers who have done similar things or worse things.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So I'm curious to know the why of that as well. What's the reason, yeah. And I don't think it's just him being black. I mean, that's part of it. But I know even black people who have been able to recover from it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And I've seen both. I've seen people who just walk with dignity and have a commitment to what they want.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Right. But I've also worked with assholes. I mean, I could tell you... I mean, just a good example is VH1. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Worked with. Nobody appears like that, honestly. I mean... Most everybody here is great. And those who aren't, God is still working on them.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
You trying to put that on us or your homegirl? I said us. Us. We don't say that. Other people have said it to us. I was the last one to use the phrase. And I meant to use it to double up on it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It's really like, I was thinking about VH1, where when I would work, particularly on certain reality shows where I could see a lot of the cast was dope, and some people who on camera were called hard to work with, behind the scenes they really were hard to work with. You can always tell by who the camera people fuck with.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
When the camera people be like, yo, fuck him.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That's always a very good, I always believe them. Because that's who will get the brunt of the bad behavior. And so I don't know if Jonathan Majors is good to work with, easy to work with, or hard to work with, but that narrative is probably connected to somebody feeling strongly about him, and that could play into this.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So I don't know, but I do know that this timing isn't good for Jonathan Majors.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It's all about reminding the public of why they shouldn't like you.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Care, then it's over. He's able to finally move on and not have this thing hanging behind him. Because he may have known that audio was there the whole time and be constantly afraid of when it's going to get released. And I'm not trying to cape for Jonathan Majors. Again, whatever he did, he should have accountability.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Right, exactly. And that's actually the problem. He should be held accountable. He should, whatever. But it seems to me he has been held accountable.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, but if somebody lost a parent and had to deal with that, that very thing, I mean, you could see how that would be a trigger point.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, but that's why somebody will be tight. And what about you?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Hold on, let me get that in. Me? Yeah. I'm sure I am too. I would apologize too, but I would understand why somebody would be tight with me.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
This is the most immature cast in the world.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And I thought that was a great apology, man. One of the best I ever heard. Seriously. It was.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It was sincere. It was from the heart. It was beautiful. It's true. Accepted accountability. That was wonderful.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I thought she was right. You gotta do that shit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I don't have the, it was soon after, but I don't have the exact date or time table, like how far after, but yeah. I mean, because sometimes saying I aggress allows you to gloss over what you actually did. Got it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"

I went to a middle school basketball game. That was it. I may have been warned once to not yell at the refs. They were asking for it. The refs? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you just can't not call a walk. They were in middle school. I'm sorry. They were nine.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, but you got to call them both. He didn't call me in the middle of the game. I was like, yo, I'm at the game. These refs are fucking up. He's like, don't get kicked out of a little kid game. I didn't get kicked out, per se. That would be embarrassing. But I did get a warning. I got a stern warning.

You have to call your friends out when they're lying. How do you know he's lying? Because I've never hung out with Ian one day in my life, and I guarantee you he's had at least three nights. A very unmemorable, regrettable. Fuck mid. I ain't talking about mid. Below mid. Reggie.

Right. Some tributes are good. Obviously, Bob Marley wasn't allowed for his tribute, but the Rita Marley, the I-Tree, all of them loved it. Some of the renditions, they loved Lauren doing Turn Your Lights Down Low. Yes, they did, yes. They loved Erica and Ziggy Marley doing their joint. They loved Queen Latifah doing No More Trouble. There's some people who did it well.

Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I bought mine, so it don't matter. Huh? That's what I heard.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I've seen Fantasia do it. Fantasia did Patti well.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And that's like her niece. Again, that's a love thing. Also, she's got that register.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, and they both like to holler. They both hit notes but holler. It's a style thing. It's a good fit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Janelle Monáe was in a bunch of them. Yeah. She just has to do it. I think you guys got to have an ear for what sounds like. Remember when... Look, we hot about this. Remember when Babyface did his Tiny Desk and he had people sing the songs that he wrote? He didn't match stars. He matched voices. Yeah, he did. So he had Shantae Moore singing Superwoman. So that was perfect.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
She might have even improved on the Karen White version. I love Karen White's version, right? They had somebody do Can We Talk? They had Tank sing. Tank can sing his fucking face off. Tank can sing anybody under the table. Tank should be doing these tributes. Get the voices that match.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I do have a black doctor. I have a black woman doctor and a black woman dentist. Oh, yeah. Big choice.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Even if they're not the hottest name at the top of the billboard right today, get legends or get people who can sing great.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But Joe, you never answered your own question. Which was? Who would get you on the ground crying the way you said I was for Mariah? If somebody died.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Oh, we never even got to that point. Who would be the people that would get y'all doing that?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
The people who are crying for Luther and for even Michael, like... They were younger. Michael was younger than Mariah is now, right?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, Michael's 50. Mariah got to be in the mid-50s.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Boy, first of all, just like you, remember you said in sixth grade you got Vision of Love, from there to the Emancipation. I don't know anything after Emancipation and Mimi, but I was grown as hell when that came out. So from there to there, I had every album. I used to love that Dream Lovin' video. And if you stopped a career, that's a classic. She's 55, not 57. That's a classic career.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Classic career, regardless. Yeah, but as a kid, I had a crush on Mariah. I mean, legend, not classic, but legacy. Yeah, she's the top of the top. I mean, for me, it would be her, Janet Jackson. There's a few people that would get me upset. Janet Jackson, I get. Yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But that's very different from 78. Understand what I mean? I'm saying the same. It's like in the NBA, right? Janet? No more either.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
In NBA, some people are max contract people, right? LeBron's a max guy. AD is a max guy. They not the same, but they both in that same top tier. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying that when I talk about Mariah and I talk about Janet, there's a top tier of people who I would be fucked up if they die. That don't mean they all the same in that same tier. Got it, got it, got it. That's all I'm saying.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And this is where Joe is full of shit. Last episode of Patreon said he was in his mirror with a hairbrush singing Vision of Love and Someday in sixth grade. Yeah, that's the shit that should have you crying.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Which one was it? I said it was Love Takes Time. Love Takes Time. Oh, yeah, if you singing that, yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I'm with you, but... Anthony Bourdain... I mean... I just... I didn't see what was going on. I mean... I knew Anthony Bourdain. We worked together. We shared desk space sometimes. I didn't cry. Flex if you want to. No, no, I'm not flexing. I'm just saying, like... It was the suddenness of it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Thank you. I wasn't devastated. I was sad, though. I was sad.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Anthony Bourdain was sad to me because of how he died.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Prince... Really? Who would fuck you up? One? Yeah, like a big kid. Larry Davidson? Like the way I had that Mariah moment. You said Larry Davidson? Hov. I got a list.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
See, I don't even look at their faces. Mark, Mark, Mark. Not today, Mark. He's a happily married man. Not today, Mark.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
When I'm looking for a doctor, I don't look to see if she bad or not, because like that... Yes, you do. Nah. Yes, you do. Not for a doctor. Yes, you do.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Hard to tell with a little sweepy sweep. Yeah, that sweepy sweep is fucking it up. No, that nigga is saying who's in the streets in the song.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
He's saying who's in the streets. It sounds a little like a cruise to me, too. I hear what you're saying.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
He's fucking up the plan right now. Paul George, we're trying to be losing now, and now they want to win. Actually, you know what?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That would be amazing. That's so interesting.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, I know. Rather than having his house destroyed, he would rather get beat up. The choice is between getting your ass beat and getting your house...
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, when I get to the office. Meaning you have like a vascular reaction? I'm not choosing her based on that, but when I get there, I notice, yeah. Okay, yeah. But I ain't looking for, whereas there are some jobs where I want to know how they look.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Thank you, man. There's Alice and Betty. Alice beat Betty's ass. Betty then went to Alice's house and tore it down. Do you want to be Alice or do you want to be Betty?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Hold on. There are seven people in this room. We all understand it. Is it possible we're on the right side of this?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
You're being willful here, too. Seven people did not agree. Three did. Raise your hand if you agree that what he's saying makes sense, whether you agree with him or not. It makes sense now.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Rasputia. No, nigga. Wow. You know how she look. But certain jobs you do care. You want your agent to be attractive.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I love that special. I need to watch it. I love that special.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, for sure. I didn't know you could do that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
If I don't know them, it's like a day, a day or two. And then the funeral.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I told you I knew, so I was upset. I'm still upset about it. But like Michael Jackson, it was more like that day. Then I anchored the funeral and I cried. Like during the funeral, when Stevie started singing. Stevie sang I Never Dreamed You Leave It in the summer. We was all fucked up. Can you pull that mic close to you? Oh, I'm sorry. You ain't but 5'4". Get close to the damn mic.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, something like that. A lot of times it would be the tragedy of it. Don't be that the person meant that much to you. You know what I mean? It'd be like, Kobe, even if you didn't love basketball and you didn't know him, it's still something about somebody at that age dying and messing your head up. Same thing with Michael Jackson for me.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That was a good one. I didn't cry. Damn, I didn't cry for that one. Now that you mention it. I was at a funeral too. I didn't cry, but I was sad. You went to a lot of funerals. Now I feel like an asshole. Yeah, I probably shouldn't. Mark be trying to get booked at niggas' funerals.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
to speak i was trying which means right you know as a journalist you gotta go i go to a lot of funerals to cover them and then i end up just going and staying so like we went i went to south africa for his it was it was it was amazing you know it was so amazing you almost didn't have time to be sad because there's so much partying and so much traveling and all of that stuff it wasn't he laid in state so you went to like 12 cities like to follow him be dead but anyway yo thank god for technology
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Oh, yeah. That happened to me. And spend some money. I was not in my family. My sister died. I think I was in one picture. No, I was in no pictures, as a matter of fact. They had cousins, aunties, fucking tutors.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I like seeing it before it starts. Yeah, yeah, the wake. So like when my dad died, the night before you go, you look at him, you know, say your goodbyes or whatever. The next day, I don't feel the need to see him again.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Oh, hell no. Yeah, you just don't get to see them. To me, you just don't get to see them. I mean, some people like to kiss the body goodbye and all of that stuff.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It's called made, though. You know about it, right, man? Mm-hmm. If you're in misery, I think people are right to die with dignity. I think people should make their own choices. We got to get a call.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It's their life. It's their life. They're the one in pain.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I'm selfish. Stay in excruciating pain so that I can get that for me one time.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
He's like, I get paid for episodes. I'm not leaving here until Wednesday morning.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Y'all don't go getting out. The only thing I would say, on a serious note... On a serious note, though, as you think about... And I'm only saying it because we talked about this, like... Sometimes people, elderly people get depressed and they don't know what they want or they think they want one thing and they want something else.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Terminal patients is one thing and I think people have a right to die with dignity. But I know like with my father, they told us he was dying. They said he got a couple weeks, you know, just stop feeding him. Huh? Wait, what? Yeah, they said like the feed, because he didn't, basically he didn't want to eat anymore. And so they said... You can put it through a feeding tube or not.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And so I said, my other brothers bounced. They were left. They didn't want to do it. They had me do it. I'm the youngest. And I said, hey, do you want to? You're going to throw in Frasier. Yo, Frasier.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yo, Frasier's like, hey, you got this. So I went and I was like, yo, do you want us to keep doing the feeding tube or not? And he was like, I think I'm okay if I don't have the feeding tube. And I said, I won't be upset with you. I won't be hurt if you're ready to go. If you don't want the feeding tube, it's okay. He said, let him go.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
About two days later, as we were starting to do that, the doctor said, let's give him one more thing for his appetite. It's an appetite inducer, but it's also antidepressant. He took it and it turned out after he took the appetite inducer, not only did he want to eat, but he felt better and didn't want to die anymore. I came back two weeks later because I traveled to San Antonio. I was on standby.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I came back two weeks later and we had moved into a transitional home because my mom didn't want to die at home. And... he was fucking up two plates of food. He was killing it. And he had gained like 10, 15 pounds. He looked like himself again. And it was the fact that the appetite inducer was actually also anti-depressant.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I found out that a lot of elderly people are depressed and will be like, fuck it, like let me go. Because of the mood they're in. That's not negating what you're saying, which is when you're terminally ill and you're in pain, that's different. My dad was just depressed. And knowing the difference between those two things is important.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Oh, man. All right. What do you got for us? We waiting on him. Sometime you got to double up on him. That was a really good excuse. I was impressed. You try to put it on us, though. I got to get him. That was nigga level of.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I'm telling y'all now in front of everybody, don't do that shit for me. Keep me alive no matter what.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Nigga, hook me to the car charger. I don't give a fuck what you got to do to figure out how to keep me alive. I don't care if I'm in pain. They'll figure something out. They'll find something new. It's not for me, but I respect everybody else's wishes.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I want to be a burden. These niggas been a burden on me a long time.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Look, baby, sometimes I just got double up on you.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But it's scary out there. I could go for a Drake album if he's just rapping. I hate the singing shit, but if he actually is just spitting bars, I could go for a Drake album.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And you don't think this UMG lawsuit is going to hem that up at all? It doesn't have to. Yeah, he'll find a way.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
As of now, no. I have kind of clocked out of this as well. Got it. I think UMG's game was to get this dismissed out of hand early, and they didn't dismiss it. It's still moving forward. Yeah. But I still think that it's not going to, I don't know if he'll be successful.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It doesn't seem like he's going to be successful based on what the legal expert, I'm not a legal expert, but that's what they're saying.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
No, I was shaking my head at how niggas always think somebody didn't do it. Yeah, when y'all say... Hey, I'm sorry. I like that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So he might have actually executed it, you're saying, but just might not have been his plan. He's like a useful idiot. He was a tool.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Because early on, people were saying, oh, that wasn't really him. Like, he wasn't the guy. Like, it was a mistaken identity. All this crazy, like, scandal shit. And I'm like, I don't believe that. I think he did just what it looked like. He pulled out a gun and shot somebody on broad daylight. And then got on a city bike and left. Mm-hmm. And went to McDonald's. Exactly.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I get confused. I don't remember, to be honest.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I'm more suspicious of that one. I think he did it too, but I'm more suspicious of that one.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Oh, shit. I feel like a lot of people feel that way because of how he looks.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
What else is important, unimportant? What were we just talking about? Some good news for all of y'all. If you're thinking about sending your kids to Harvard, it's now free. Well, y'all make too much money, but it's free for anybody who makes under $200,000. Any families that make under $200,000 a year, your children now have free tuition at Harvard. What's the catch?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
If you can get in. Oh, shit. Shade. A little bit. A fucking little bit. Wow. Wow. Not to you. Not to you, Mel. I'm saying, somebody asked, what's the catch? That's the catch. Yeah, that's the catch. It's not like more people can get. They ain't accepting you niggas. Right. Most people who get into Harvard already make more than $200,000. Yes. There's a class component to it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So it doesn't really make Harvard that much more accessible.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, like rich people get into Harvard more than poor people. Poor people rarely get into Harvard. So it's not like they lowered the bar. And it's interesting because the right-wingers On the internet last night and all on TV, we're talking about this is awful. This is more DEI. This is letting unworthy people. It doesn't change the standards at Harvard. If you can get into Harvard, you can go.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It just means poor people don't have to pay, which I think is a great thing. I think it's great, too. I just would like to see the numbers. I just think we need to not do it at Harvard because who gives a fuck? I mean, do it at the state college. Do it at the local college. Do it at a place where people are actually getting in. Don't do it at a place where Harvard only lets in 3% of all applicants.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So, who cares? There might be 10 poor people who get a free ride now. That's all. If that. If that. This is just a headline to sound good. Right. That's it, yeah. Yeah, it sounds good. That's it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But it don't do shit for you. And nobody who was going to Harvard, who wasn't going to Harvard, is now going to Harvard.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
who's how many what percent is that gonna apply to again almost nobody and again to your point if you make 125 and you get in free but you gotta pay room and board room and board is a lot of fucking money it is so you still gotta come up with cash out of pocket so it's tough so anyways it's an interesting announcement but I want y'all to just look underneath the headline and realize it doesn't mean much we should be fighting for free public education for everybody agreed and you know they ain't doing that all right
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get out of there. You feel what? I'm learning when to pivot.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
What's the name we got good again? I assume that was Night Two.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That's what I want to see. Night One sounds amazing. I'm old. I want Night Two. I mean, the big time is I want to see all that too, but I just feel like I've seen them do their reunion thing now.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It's unethical. I mean, here's my thing. If you and I sign a deal and it's a bad deal, you just got to hold that L, right? But what I'm hearing her say and other artists say is sometimes they're dishonest even in the context of the deal we signed. Like they actually don't do what they say they're going to do.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And it's only when we do forensic accounting, it's only when we dig deeper that we realize they didn't give us the money. But the problem is the artist is so broke, they can't afford to fight for the thing they actually deserve. I'm with you. If you sign a bad deal and you don't like the deal, yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But what I hear a lot of artists say is that these labels are stealing their money and they know we don't have enough money to prove it. That's the part I think is fucked up.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Both can be true, though, right? I mean, like, you made a bad choice, but it's still predatory.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That's all I'm saying. It's a predatory system. It is. They go to people who don't have many choices.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And they pray on your desperation and lack of knowledge. I remember, I wasn't here, but I remember watching when Jadakiss was here with his father and Jawan, and they were talking about this.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Interestingly enough, he ended up with a bad boy deal that ended up being tracked. Even after that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And it turned out to be a bad deal. The problem is for me, some people don't have that knowledge and just make their own choice. A lot of people take that first deal not knowing any better. And that's what I have issue. If everybody ended up in that second deal, that's on you.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So I guess that's what I'm saying. I hate that people are making bad choices, but I do got smoke for the companies, too, because they could not do that, and they could still make a lot of money without fucking everybody over.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But there's a huge gap between exploiting the shit out of everybody and making deals so generous that your company can't sustain itself. There's a middle ground. I agree. Even just like slightly fucked up.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But it's also not about being smart. This is what I say. If, just to use Joe's example, if Joe came in here and paid all of us exactly half of what he pays, whatever that number is, right? A lot of us, a lot of us, that would be fucked up. But a lot of us might be in a position where we can't leave.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And he can just say that's business. Let me ask you a question.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
MC Hammer buying 30 cars and a whole lot of dancers, right? That's generosity. A company not exploiting you is not, Universal is not being generous by paying people what they owe or by not extracting all the labor from somebody and giving them just the slightest amount to keep them on board. That's not generosity.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And I think part of how the system is fucked up is we act like they're doing us a favor by paying us what's ours.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
We use a lot of words wrong. I just... I make a list and every once in a while. And that's fucked up. I feel like once a month I'll intervene. You're not down to help us? Like today's word is y'all say willfully obtuse all the time. Obtuse means to be willfully sort of not understanding. It's redundant to say willfully obtuse. But everybody says it all the time. It drives me crazy.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I don't want to compare that to generosity. I don't want to compare Universal to the rapper who just came out to projects and is buying all his homies chains. That ain't the same shit. You know what I'm saying? They owe us. They owe us. I'm saying us like corporations owe everyday people. They do. Yeah. So to me, that's the difference.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, nah, it don't. But that's what he's been doing the whole time.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I think he's not. I mean, it could be. I think that's true, and I think he's not well, and he just does shit. I remember he was on Drink Champs calling Diddy a fed, and fuck Diddy, and tweeting crazy shit about Diddy. And then just last night, he's on Instagram telling them that he's like a father to him.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It's wild. And then, you know, Diddy called him last night or the last day or two, and Shea Room had an exclusive on it, and they played the whole audio call. Wow. And it's weird. First of all, I think Puff called Ye because he wanted to talk to Ye. I don't think Puff knew that Ye was going to be putting it on the internet.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Like, I can't imagine calling somebody from prison, being this private, not doing no interviews, and suddenly wanting my whole conversation in public.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Word. Nah, I wouldn't say nothing to him. And Puff didn't say nothing to him. Crazy. But he was just talking to him, clearly in what seemed like a private moment. And he was trying to give Ye this pep talk. He was like, you know, the system is wicked, wicked, wicked. That's the only thing he said about himself. Kind of like, as if the wicked system is why he's in jail.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
As if, like, he did nothing wrong and it's just a wicked system. But then on top of that, he was trying to give Ye the pep talk. Like, you got to get back on stage. We need you rocking mics again. We need you cutting samples again. I need the old Ye back. And Ye was just like, yes, sir. He was very, like, deferential and, like,

Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Because you up already, so you feel like he trying to like. Did he say that when he was a billionaire? Yeah, two weeks ago. Two weeks ago. God ain't finished your broke ass.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah. If you're fighting to get your kid on Diddy's album... That's crazy. I feel like that's a sign right there that you're not capable of making good choices.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I would approve the vote. But the point is, I think she has a right to say, as a parent, I don't think that's a good look.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Her and Ye going back. And then Ye also was making it like a race thing, too. Like, now a white woman is controlling.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Isn't this... First, he needs to knock off that white woman shit. First of all, when he was with her... Yeah, you married her. Right. First of all, she wasn't white when you was fucking her, right? Right. Well... No, no, no. He wasn't claiming her as white.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
The claim wasn't that she was white. You know how black people are. She's Italian. She's Armenian. They find all kinds of shit to say she ain't white. Now, obviously, he ain't fucking with her. She white again. Yes, nigga. But also, you made a choice. If you choose to have a child with a white woman, then yes, a white woman is going to control what your children do. That's the choice you made.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
There's a lot of different things we can find depressing in here. You pivoted this story you were about to tell us something about.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That was beautiful. I didn't think so. I'm just... I'm trying new ways to rap. I'm trying some new techniques. How was that one?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That was beautiful. Workshopping some things, yeah. Yeah. All right, you got it. I don't want to drain your life. You got it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I put hope in it. I mean, I agree with y'all on the kids in the future. But I also, like, I think part of why I was an activist and part of why I do the work I do is because I actually believe the world can be better than we found it. Against all evidence to the contrary. Because the world looks like it's going to be fucked up and it's only going to get worse. But I've seen struggles get won.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I mean, just in the last 10 years, or the last 20 years, you've seen marriage equality. People thought that would never happen. It could be something as simple as legalizing weed. I remember when people said that could never happen, and now you can buy weed everywhere. The world can be so different in 24 hours or 12 months or 20.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So I always look to the victories and be like, we could change some other shit. We could change so people could get housing. We could change so people could get healthcare. We could change so people aren't oppressed anymore. People could get their land back. We could do shit if we organize. That's my hope. I don't always act on the hope.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Sometimes I get caught up in the day-to-day just wanting to eat or hope my team makes the playoffs or hope that so-and-so is... I hope that Aaron Rodgers don't come to the Steelers.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah, that ain't... I got hope, goddammit. Yeah, that's a good hope. But, like, there's other shit we can hope for. So, like, that's what keeps me energized. That's what keeps me going.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And the work fuels the hope. Like the more you work, the more you be like, oh, this shit is winnable. Like this is a winnable fight. It's a hard fight, but it's a winnable fight. That's why we say hope and not optimism. Optimism is just like everything's going to be all right. It'll just work out. Hope is against the odds. And you got to be engaged in that shit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And you got to actually know it's fucked up. The odds are against me, but I can still win.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That's the regret. That is regret. But the nostalgia part is sometimes thinking the past was better than it was. Like really remembering, oh, back then everything was fine. Everything probably wasn't fine.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Sometimes when you do enough trash shit on your own, you can't worry that much about what somebody else is doing. Sam Cooke did a lot of trash shit. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I didn't know that. Read Aretha Franklin's biography. That's all I'm going to say.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I'll just say Sam Cooke, and it wasn't just him. First of all, the R&B circuit and the gospel circuit were two of the freakiest places ever. The gospel circuit was like, they was orgies and all kinds of shit, right? That's still kind of true about the gospel. Is this Aretha's book? Yeah, read David Rich's book on Aretha. That's even better. That's the one that has all the good shit in it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Send me the link. I'll send you the link. But Ruth Frank had a baby at 12, not by Sam Quick, but by somebody else. But Sam was getting down with a lot of R&B singers when they were 13, 14, 15 years old. So that's part of why he ain't noticed what was going on in his own household. Oh. Yeah, I don't know about that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
And it's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. They was nasty back then, man. Fair. And we'll make songs about it. That's the ill part. Remember Roberta Flack's song, Jessie? You know it's for Jesse Jackson. No, I did not. Jesse come home. This bed is one. Yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Fuck that. No, he said Roberta told him that. I asked if that was true. Roberta told him. I read it and then I asked if it was true. I don't mind saying it since she's passed away. Rest in peace.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
He was getting away from that Dr. King. But to your point, you know who one of Jesse's background singers was in the 70s? I mean, who Roberta's background singers was in the 70s and 80s? One of Jesse's daughters. Same thing, it's a lot of... Cross-pollinating. Yeah, cross-pollinating. That's a good word.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It's all after. Anything you know about Jesse Jackson is probably after. Because King died in 68. This was 70, whatever.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But I said I wouldn't say anything about it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Healing your lips? Oh, but that's different.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Yeah. Jesse was a mentor. The first time I went to Africa was with Jesse Jackson. He took me to Africa. So if you knew anything, you wouldn't kick his back in right now?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
But there's nothing to know because he's been perfect except for the public scandals. Oh. Yep.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
He had a boat. No boats, no islands, nothing. I'm good.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
It was a couple reasons. Part of it was in the middle of... We weren't allowed to go. It was basketball season. We weren't allowed to go. And also, it was... I had some... ideological issues with it, you know what I mean, at the time. I wish I had gone now, in retrospect. I wish I had gone.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I still had the same issues. The issues I did, I have now, but I would have gone just to be part of history. Okay, so you still ain't fucking with it? A million people marching against it. Like, marches are supposed to be... Marches is supposed to be for a thing, right? The March on Washington was the March on Washington for jobs and freedom. You know what I'm saying? In 63.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Like you march and protest a system. To me, you march against your oppressor. You march against a power structure. I didn't like the idea of a million black men getting together to march against themselves. For me, I thought that I would have marched for structural things. I would have marched for systemic things. I would have been fighting for power.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
I understood Farrakhan's argument, and I don't think he's wrong. I just would have organized the march differently.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
No, I've expressed that to him directly. Ooh. And, um... No, it's not flat. It's not flat. I told him.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Very impressive. Make sure that you're clear. Yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Shout out to everybody who was a part of Million Man March.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
So you would have organized it differently, would you say? Yeah. Yeah, I would have organized it differently. But I love the idea of us coming together in a spirit of love and tradition. I mean, to get a million people, a million plus on that mall was amazing. That's nice, bro. It was a beautiful sight. Holy shit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
Let me depress y'all and then jump out. You double-dutch with seriousness. Do you have any hope, guys? And then we're like, no. And he's like, this is too fucking depressing. Yeah, then you crack jokes. Yeah, that's bipolar.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 809 | "Willfully Obtuse"
That's the most embarrassing thing that could probably happen, other than actually shitting on yourself.

You have to. But I'd definitely tell my daughter.

Then I went home. You can take him to Dayflip. You can take him to Dayflip.
The Joe Budden Podcast

I'm going to be the adult in the room for a minute and say that we have created some tension in the room. How? How? Y'all seem bothered by this.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
They ain't paying me no money. You look irritated. I'm bothered by it. He texted his daughter and shit. He ain't paying me no money.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Okay, then we good. Yeah, we're great. I promise. You look irritated. I am. Hey, listen.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
But you know what it is? A lot of times dudes be more hype about, like, no dude that I know is that upset about their son getting in some wild shit. Crazy.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
But, like, nobody's like, oh, my son's 15 eating pussy. Right. Yes, sir. No, I'm just saying, a lot of people don't. I'm not saying they write it wrong.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
You always make it gay. We don't care. If he's gay, he's gay.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
A lot of niggas feel that way. It just takes a special kind of person to write that shit on paper, especially when the whole world going to see it. Because your kid is going to see that later, too, that you didn't want that. Just do it old school and don't show up. Just do it like everybody else's old man did. I'll be there at 15.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I'm sorry, I'm thinking four months pregnant, forgive me. Yeah, no, four months old. I mean, she had a moment to make that choice. Right. Yeah, she could still make that choice. Even with the child in, she can make that choice. Adoption, foster. I got you.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Y'all can... No, no, I agree with you that I think it's cowardly. I don't like the idea of abandoning your kids. I think no matter what the situation is, you got to be there once the kid is here. You just got to make that choice. But I agree with you that I don't think it's necessarily immaturity per se. I think just some people are fucked up. Yeah, some people just feel that way.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah, and they're just fucked up people. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yo, he was intense. I was like, yo, you want to switch? He was like, no. I will not switch. I was like, hold on.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
This don't take much to be a black. If he had just showed up to like one skate party.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah, after the fifth bucket, I was like, hey, let's switch. He was like, no. Then you switch.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
That's when they blame moms. They blame the moms. Sometimes it do be the mom.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I think that's muttish. Why would you do that? I just don't understand why somebody would do that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
No, hyphenated I can understand. Did he hyphenate or did he just take her name?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Oh, hyphenate I respect. I'm fine with hyphenating it. Still a pussy. I wouldn't do it, but I respect it. Still a pussy. What's wrong with hyphenating? Be a man.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I could live with that too. Like, I think hyphenating it My personal belief is just keep your name. I don't own you. You know what I mean? My wife has her name. I got my name. I'm good with that. But I know people who say, as a family, we want to be able to walk in. For women, a lot of times... Well, your wife didn't take your name.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah. And also, you know, and then there's the Latin American thing where, you know, you have different names and, like, naming is different, you know? But... No, I don't know. Yeah, it's like, so... A lot of times kids will take both names of the parents, you know what I mean? And then as you go down the line, then one name gets knocked off and the next name comes on.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
So that's a way of acknowledging both parents. So it's not this thing where just like the dad's name takes over everybody's identity.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I save it for financial abuse and sex. Except for after the game the other day. Your son got your last name off? He hyphenated. He has both of our names. And my daughters have the same thing. They all hyphenated with their moms. And I'm good with that. You know what I mean? Like, I don't need that. But I know people who say, like, as a family unit, we all want to have the same last name.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I thought that I was going to bring that up. I wasn't sure if that's... That's not Hove's Hove. Wait, so he's Carter Knowles? Knowles Carter.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
And... So, shout out to him. I think that's dope. Well, it's... I think hyphenated. Mel, would you want your husband to hyphenate?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I want to hear your stance. Mel, let them get their 1v1.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
For me, it's about just what flows better. You know what I mean? And things like that. Like, if your name is Krzyzewski and the other one is Smith, like, Krzyzewski-Smith might just flow better than Smith. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's how I would think about it. To me, it's not who got more money or who's more dominant. It's just what's gonna flow better.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Five. You might have more than five. No, no, no. At the point where I asked him to switch, I said, switch, I'll take him. He was like, no, I got him.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Let me see. And Mel, would you feel okay with your... Oh, this is Zoe shit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
She's big. Mel, you said what? Huh? Okay. Okay, with dude taking your name, would it be y'all say separate? Like is he Michael Smith?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Do you think it's possible to be an alpha man and take your name? You like alpha men?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
You like alpha men? You can't walk. You can't get up.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
You really don't. Nigga, he had eight. Joe had eight points. Yeah. He had eight or nine points.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
But is it possible to think about things, saying I like tradition, but say some traditions just aren't good anymore?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Seven of them were on the R&B singer. Oh, no. Y'all not going to do that. Let E, wait for E to get here. I'm going to be here for Patreon. That's all. I'm saving my... No, it was so much. We all, you know, it was a lot of fun.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Let's go big-ish. I hear that. Should I say mock? Smoke mail. Smoke. Smoking on that mail pack.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Antiquation. Here's the thing that I think Ish is right about. I think that women, I can't speak for you personally, But there are women who will say that they don't want tradition and traditional gender roles, but there are moments where they want what they call a benevolent patriarchy. Like, you still want the door held for you. Let's go.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Manners. Why wouldn't manners also include you holding the door for me?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I don't disagree with you. But let's say hypothetically I wasn't married and you and I went on a date. Actually, let me not use me. Let's say you and gentlemen. Don't use me. Don't use me. No, you. Use you.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Use you. Okay, so hypothetically, you and I go on a date. I suspect that if I didn't open the doors for you... You'd judge me. At the end of the date, you said... And I just let the door close. Or if I didn't pick up the check. Okay. Right? That there would be a thing of, yo, what kind of dude... Butter in the pan. Because there's an expectation of what I'm supposed to do. The fire are hot too.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
No, I mean, we're just talking. Y'all clear out. So when I hear you say chivalry, even chivalry are expectations of what manners look like that are gendered. Because chivalry is me opening the door for you. It's not you opening the door for me.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
So I think sometimes when we say we're traditional or we're non-traditional, to Isha's point, we are picking and choosing. I'm okay with picking and choosing. But I think we have to sometimes be more self-aware about how invested in some of those patriarchal traditions we are, especially when they benefit us.

I've never been a paintball guy. I love paintball. Why don't you pick the activities so you would be included? Why don't you pick the activities?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
And I think they've learned a lesson, too. I mean, you look at Al Franken, for example, you know, powerful senator in Minnesota. He stepped away for a very small charge relative to what some of these other Republicans have been accused of. I'm not defending what Al Franken did. I don't even know what Al Franken did exactly because I just don't remember.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
But I do know that I think Democrats have learned a lesson that they're playing by two different rules. They keep stepping aside. Republicans be like, yeah, I pulled my dick out. I don't care. I'm running again. And you vote for me. And they do. And I jerked it. Right.
The Joe Budden Podcast

Yeah. So Andrew Cuomo might be the return of some courage for them. You know what I mean? Even though I don't like him, you know, I hate Eric Adams, so I'll take it.

Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
On the campaign. Oh, my God. And in the primary, too. Yeah. And in New York primary. Because you really get a good primary challenge. Cuomo's a New Yorker, B. Yes.

Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah, he was a plurality man. Niggas was like, eh? Yeah. He's somebody that was like, all right, of all these people, he's the least, he's the one we hate the least. Yeah. Whereas Andrew Cuomo, people stand up for and want.

You got to reevaluate. You can't have your 1996, 2006 mind, because your body still thinks it's that. Like, my body still thinks it's 96. For, like, bursts of speed, and then it's over. Then you be like, nigga, you can't play no more. I could have killed Mark, ass.

That's right. I did go out to dinner Sunday night. I did go out to dinner, and I felt every minute of that. I'm talking about getting out the car, getting into the car, sitting. Oh, yeah, no. We went to some steakhouse in Montclair. That shit was like, man, I couldn't pick up the fork. My eyes was hurt. Everything was hurt. Lord.

Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Did your wife know just how much pain your body was in, or did you try to tough it out? I got a pretty high pain threshold because I'm always getting injured from shit. You know what I mean? And so she heard me say that we might try this again. That picture I sent you of us on the ground, she took that picture. She didn't send that to commemorate it. She was like, stop, nigga, stop.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
She was like, this is what y'all look like. Whenever y'all think about doing this shit again, look at this picture. Your wife is right. Let this be your go-to. Exactly. I ain't going to listen to it. We ain't going to listen to it.

I'm going to learn how to swim. Fuck this. Yo, if you want to take a group class, because I've tried to learn how to swim like four times. You can't swim, bro? You can't be that surprised. A little surprised. That's racist. I don't know. How many of y'all can swim? Show of hands. Who can swim? I'm just going to draw a melanin. So immigrants can swim. Oh, shit.

I took my daughter to swim lessons from age six months to about 12. She took swim lessons. She's a lifeguard. She could do all that. I tried to do the lessons. It didn't work. Do you panic when you get in the water? Do you panic?

Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Can I say something about Angie Stone? Sure, go ahead. Angie Stone. First of all, rest in peace, Angie Stone. She's one of those people who... Oh, wait, hold on. You're about to be serious. At least let the hook go. Oh, sorry. All right, hold on.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
all right that's all i need all right all right back to the legend yeah legendary angie stone neo soul legend all that real i didn't know her well but i knew her well enough you know i knew her to speak interviewed a bunch of times real good people one of the few people that when they die everybody has good things to say and doesn't have to lie or doesn't have to remain silent but the thing that i want to say about angie stone i think is important is that a lot of people only think about her as a neo soul goddess
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
and they forget that she is a hip-hop pioneer. As much as, you know, No Rain In This Cloud and all the songs that came out when she made that album in 99, which is great, she's part of Sequence. You know, and Sequence, you know, when hip hop is really moving, when we move from disco to hip hop and you start to hear hip hop as a party sound, she's the voice of that. She's the soundtrack.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Her and the other two sisters are the voice of that. Sequence is a hip hop pioneering group. They were the second act sign of Sugar Hill Records. They were major hip hop act. And when we do the hip hop commemorations and the 50th anniversary, sometimes we leave out Angie Stone and we leave out Angie B at the time and we leave out Sequence.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I'm just saying, as we remember her, let's really write her in the history and not just in the R&B. That's it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I agree. That was very well said. I'm good at the talking job.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah. Yesterday's the rough one. Second day's the worst. Yeah, second day. Nah, my Sunday was bad. I couldn't walk.

It's a little different, but here's the difference.

Her husband was like where you are. I was about to say her husband wasn't right there. Right. I'm sorry.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
But she turned to him and said, you know, I got to do this right. And didn't really wait for it, yes.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I'm not saying one is better or worse. I'm just saying they're different. Because I think it's a little... I couldn't walk up to... On stage, you could get caught up in the moment. But grabbing somebody... On a carpet. On a carpet. Pre-planned. Pre-planned in front of their spouse, to me, is a tougher sell. I wouldn't do either. I think you should kiss people with consent. She would have got slid.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
That's all I was thinking was like... I don't know what y'all talking about.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I'm saying that if you're on the carpet with your dude who happens to be an actor, hypothetically, old girl walks over, grips him up, and gives him a kiss, turns to you and says, you know I'm going to do this, right? Gives him a kiss. How do you react?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I was like... It's super her. Yeah. You fucked my head up with the... You put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Wrong syllable, yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Jeans shorts is crazy. The answer is more. I think so. More. The answer is more.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Emphasis. You put the emphasis on the wrong syllable. Yeah, yeah.

One was the race thing. And two, some people was clowning because her husband was up there. He took her last name. So some people was making jokes about that on... Wait, see, I didn't. Now that team missed me. Her husband took...
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Marco. All I noticed is my wife sent it to me this morning. The balls on this lady. Your wife sent it to you? Yeah, and I was like, I don't know why you sent me this. His name was Marco Perego. Now he's Marco Saldana. Marco Perego. Okay, so she... Oh, so they both kind of prairie names.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
The green card goes faster. I don't know. Green cards go faster with Saldana.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah, what the fuck you talking about? The beef to me ain't shouldn't be with Zoe. And obviously, she's a proud Dominican. People say she doubled down on the Dominican part on the speech, too. Like, I'm the first Dominican to win this award, and hopefully there'll be others. And it's like, you're also black, right?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I thought I had an advantage because it was my second time playing.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
In five, right. I played a few weeks ago, you know. Yeah, no. I got to a point, I thought I was going to have the jump too because I shot on Friday.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I'm just trying to get. She's a name. Fordham? Oh.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
And I'm not getting all heavy on her per se, but I understand why people feel a way, especially when these same people sometimes get black roles and they trade on blackness when it's convenient.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
She was a black girl. But she also played Nina Simone.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Because those are ethnicities and those are not races.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
All I'm saying is people can make choices about how they identify. I agree. And I'm not begging nobody to be black if they don't want to identify as black. I agree. However, if you're getting jobs, for example, no white woman would get a job playing Nina Simone. But they would say no white woman in 2025. I heard a rumor.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
My point is they let her get certain jobs. They let certain Latinos get certain jobs because at that moment they identify as black. Right. And then if you identify as black to get that job and then later on down the road, sadly, you throw the black away. I see why people feel frustrated. That's all I'm saying. If you don't be black, don't be black. But don't be don't be Nina Simone.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
So you don't have a white man being Malcolm X in a film?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
That ain't the same. Why is it not? Because a lot of America still thinks Moses is white and Cleopatra is white. That's different than playing somebody as a black person.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
And that's why I gave the Malcolm X example. When you know somebody's black, we would say no. So as we start to identify people by their races, I'm just saying, do we draw a line? But I had a whole other question about something different. Did Conan go too far with the Kendrick joke? The Kendrick Drake joke? That was hilarious. I thought it was hilarious, but some people felt a way.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
How'd you feel? Actually, let me ask you, because I know as a... I think that... As a what?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
And for those that don't know, the joke was that Kendrick said, I mean, that Conan said we're halfway halfway through the Oscars.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Right. Which I thought was a fucking hilarious joke. Just as a joke, I thought it was hilarious. I laughed.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
And honestly, that joke to me is as much about a criticism of Kendrick as it is a diss of Drake. It's like Kendrick is, it's a criticism that Kendrick keep doing this. Like, damn, they got another one? So I didn't see, I saw it as a balanced, funny, brilliant joke.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
So you didn't spend it, it's just the way you... No, I spent it. Oh, okay, okay.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Wait, five digits or five hundreds? Five digits. Oh, oh. Are you crazy? Five hundreds?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Wait, Ish, if you did six a day for one year, it would be 1,800. 49 years times 365 days.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
If you did six a day in one year, you would have done 1,800 already. 365 days a year. You're right, you're right.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
If you don't play ball, what they say is when you're young, you play ball to get in shape. Right. And when you get older, you have to get in shape to be able to play ball. Because when you hit your 40s, like, your skill diminishes with your lack of conditioning. So, like, you can't shoot if you don't have any legs. And mobility. Because your mobility.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah. Oh, you don't say. That's actually the... I didn't know that. I thought niggas just... That's literally the debate they was having two weeks ago. Oh, for real? Verbatim.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
That's great though, man. And you got a lot of insurance costs too, I'm sure. Huh?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I just don't want that to happen. Like some crazy unexpected shit could happen. Like a brawl could break out on set.

Next thing you know. I paid it two days ago. Okay. Solid. That's all. Damn, y'all get money up here.

Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Why is Paul George on the board? I just want to understand. Oh, man. Because Paul George, last week.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
He really said that. So the question for me, not to take it off of Paul George, because I think that's fair, is in general, should NBA players be allowed to have podcasts?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Oh, that's not true. Draymond is winning. Draymond's winning, too. But for me, it's not about... Bron is winning. If you're winning, no one complains. If you're losing, people complain. But for me, and that's ultimately what it comes down to, right? As a fan or as an owner, that's the perception of it for me, as well as the effectiveness of it. The first question is, can you pod...
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
and be good at this. It's your job. And I don't know, some people can, some people can't. Before podcasts, Paul George was sitting out games. Before podcasts existed, he was fucking coming up short in playoffs. At least in a lot of people's minds. The numbers don't really show that, but whatever, right? It's the perception of it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
No, he didn't go. Who said that? No, he didn't go anymore, yo. He going to call you when he go again? Oh, boy. So if I can't give these tickets away, and Embiid is injured, Paul George ain't playing, and then I go to YouTube to type Paul George in to find out when he's going to play, and instead I got another episode of Podcast P, it just looks bad, and it's bad for business.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I'll give it to you right now if you want it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
I was going to... You'd be able to see them. You'd be able to see them. I was going to bring it to you in cash.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
As much money as I spend on season tickets, I actually see it as like, y'all are fucking with my money right now. I feel disrespected. I feel disrespected to watch somebody not play. I mean, when we went to the game, he was just sitting there chilling. Chilling. Yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
To see that and then to watch you be on a podcast every day. Podcast is different than playing basketball. I get that. Clearly, we proved that this weekend. But at some point, you got to look like you're giving an effort. You know what I'm saying? As an owner, I think they should just make a rule.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Take a break. Yeah, I'm like six episodes behind y'all. Oh my God. Take a walk. Take a walk. Starbucks.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 805 | "Support The Lie"
Yeah, that's a level of financial sophistication. And a desire to grow financially. A lot of these wealthy kids, like, they just want to spend. They just want to spend the rest of their life spending money.

You Can Build Wealth No Matter Where You Are in Life
Yes, we're trying to get out of debt. Got about $250,000, including our mortgage and doctors and credit cards. And so we're working on that. And we're just wondering, I'm 51, wife's 48. So we know in the next 10, 15 years or so we'll retire. So is it still wise to hold off on investing and
The Ramsey Show
You Can Build Wealth No Matter Where You Are in Life
Pause that and pay the debt because also we have an opportunity that if we can sell our house, we can move on to some family land and put a trailer there to cut down on costs. So just didn't know what the best plan is.
The Ramsey Show
You Can Build Wealth No Matter Where You Are in Life
Oh, it's close to 60%. We've already done that.

Well, it's about $180,000. I'm not good with math. I'll stop there.

uh credit cards uh a personal loan and medical bills okay tell me how much the credit cards are tell me how much the personal loans are and tell me how much the medicals are uh the credit cards are they're probably close to twenty thousand okay then that personal loan personal loans uh probably about twenty three thousand okay and then that medical debt i don't have an exact number on the medical day because i just figured it all up this one
The Ramsey Show

You know, what helped me was following my very strategic around following net worth, not income. So it's just you win the month or the day or the year. And so when I started doing that, that was probably the biggest thing. You know, that's what I would tell people.

Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
Appreciate it. Sure. What's up? So I'm 21 years old. I have a baby on the way.
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
When's it due? July 14th. Awesome, man. Good for you. Thank you. I have my own business in pet care. I'm a dog trainer. And I am $300,000 in debt. From what? So my question is... So my question is, do I focus on expanding the business, hiring and trying to be able to make the business self-running so I could be as present of a dad as possible or focus on paying off debts?
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
So we started mobile. So I started the business when I was 19, doing it mobile, kept costs low, did it out of my truck. And then as we expanded, we decided that we needed a facility. So we rented and then kind of renovated a 4,000 square foot facility. That was in April of last year. So I took a home equity line of credit loan from my dad, which I know now from listening to you guys is a no-no.
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
Our lowest package is $33.75, and our most expensive package is $8,000. Okay.
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
So the home equity line of credit, the total of it was $225,000. And then we used some of that to do employee salaries when we first moved in. We did a lot of that for renovations and then also into marketing. Then we have $30,000 for a van that we use. Are you profitable? Yeah, so last year we did $300,000 in sales. $40,000 of that was profit for our first year.
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
So our total overhead per month is $17,000. Okay.
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
So do I focus on expanding the business? No. Hiring, trying?
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
So what I figured while going through the process of it, like I believe that the total cost of re of renovations alone that we did was between like 15, 65,000. Um, but, The goal was to then extend our lease once that five years was up.
The Ramsey Show
Building Wealth Is Hard but Being Broke Is Harder
No, no, no. I didn't pay myself out of loan. We had employees. We had up to three at one point. Um, but then in October we got pretty slow. So I let everyone go, went down to just, uh, me working. Uh, and then you have a $40,000 a year job that you own.

So my wife and I have done a wonderful job at saving and investing. You know, depending upon the age that we retire at, I don't think it's unrealistic that we could end up with a nest egg of between $8 and $12 million. Well done, sir. Touchdown. Thank you. Thank you. So my question is... We're a Christian family. We have four younger, wonderful daughters between the ages of 7 and 13 right now.

And I want to know what you feel is appropriate to leave behind as an inheritance, because we're conscious of what the Bible says about money, and we don't want to spoil our children or teach them to rely on money as opposed to relying on God for their needs.
