Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractible, this episode. Warrior Wade gets wheels for his wife, then drives the dudes down Diagon Alley. Bishop Bob buys a miter, manifests a meme, is scared of soccer, but not Brosnan. Motorist Mark gets his own storefront, solves swappiness, stares at Sol, wow, and the frigid wall. From Distracti-babies to Paradise Lost.
Yes, it's time for Slice of Life. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Distractable. And you might have noticed, I did give you all a, hey guys.
Oh yeah, you hit him with the, I didn't even notice because that's how you enter the room every single time. Old YouTube intro, which I still technically use.
Old.
i get made fun of for doing it but i'm not making fun of you who's made fun of you just because you feel like we're making fun of you when we point out that that's your intro doesn't mean that we're making fun of you there's an entire youtube video on my channel making fun of me where hey guys turns into egg eyes and uh i can't unhear it now and it's my own intro and it has ruined it for me that feels like your choice
No, it was Dana made it for like an April Fool's video, which was not my choice, but brilliantly done. But anywho, welcome back viewers, listeners to the best podcast that you've probably heard of because you're here watching and or listening. I'm joined as always by my co-hosts, Mark and Bob. Hello. Hi. Hi. One of us hosts of the To Compete for Points, and we start off with some small talk.
So, how's life?
I have a fun thing that I would like to complain about.

Chapter 2: How did Wade introduce this episode of Distractible?
i was just sitting there with the wood there i was like oh i can't can't fuck this up measure twice cut once just it comes over doesn't say a word just like turns the board 90 degrees and i'm like anyway that was my first experience with the miter so if anyone's confused and doesn't know what i'm talking about
ah good one and i'm gonna walk away now building woodworking shit like building things out of wood is filled with so much of that or i'll look at a thing and i'm like i need it i need the final width of this thing to be whatever 24 inches but each of the pieces of plywood i'm using is three quarters of an inch thick and blah and this and you and i like a woodworking person will look at that and be like okay so i need to cut it to this and i look that and i'm like
well like it's the meme of like math flying through the air and i'm like oh fuck what's 24 minus three quarters uh eight shit no way i get my phone calculator like man it's not that hard is it it's just i'm stupid
I can't believe that some of the kids can do like the abacus method. You've ever seen the videos of the kids doing like speed addition and subtraction. And they're just, I thought it was, I didn't know what I was seeing when I first saw a video of a whole classroom of kids just like... Not blinking. They're conducting an orchestra, a really small orchestra.
But it's really impressive because they're able to do some extremely fast addition and subtraction. And I think basic multiplication is possible with that. I'm not sure because I don't know the method, but it's very impressive.
The speed at which they can do things and the tricks that you can do with numbers and how an abacus works in terms of like being able to do that is sometimes more efficient than actually having a calculator.
So you're saying I need an abacus for the garage?
I think so.
Yeah. Anyway, I also have some news. This might sound like Groundhog Day to you guys. I got a car! No, I don't believe it.

Chapter 3: What are Mark's frustrations with Apple's business services?
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 think we learned how to code in C++ in my high school computer science class.
Damn. Not even C++, just C+.
Nah, just regular old C+.
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.
Isn't that just a number sign?
C-pound. C-pound? C-pound is way cooler. I program in C-pound. Really pound the computer and doing what I want. C-pound and a half.
June 26th. 1997, Bob. We're moving forward a few years.
Okay, it's June 26, 1997. In two days, Markiplier turns eight. That's true.
