Chapter 1: What is the Three Word Sales Pitch game?

518.447 - 526.573 Wade

I didn't do anything else. I think Friday, Saturday and Sunday don't exist anymore for me. I don't know what happened those three days. What does that mean?

0

526.953 - 538.681 Bob

I can't remember. Like you're so busy or like you don't get out of bed. I just can't remember those three days. You must exist.

0

539.241 - 545.966 Wade

I mean, you don't have to exist. I just sort of assume that you do. I think I do. I just I don't recall those days.

0

546.266 - 548.969 Unknown Speaker

I feel like you should see a doctor about that if you just got sudden days.

0

549.369 - 563.943 Wade

You know what? I did have one thing I remember now. Not last night, night before. I had this weird nightmare. I've never had one quite like it. The actual nightmare itself was relatively boring, right? I was in a house, and there was a teenage...

564.463 - 588.763 Wade

mutant ninja turtle no no just like a boy you're right it is boring go on he's like you have to help me my parents something's happened and i go to help him somehow i'm in their like house i'm upstairs in their house and he's like coming to me like i need to help them and they're like zombies or some kind of whatever and i go to help but it turns out he was also one but he was just like playing like he was still fine and he killed me and i kind of like woke up like

589.503 - 608.756 Wade

you know like you do when you die in a nightmare try to go back to sleep the same dream but i tried to help in a different way woke up after dying and like four or five times i had the same dream where i was aware that i was having the same dream i was like well i gotta approach it a different way four of me are already dead like there's only so many more of me left

609.076 - 626.97 Wade

and it got me thinking about like uh I don't know what if there's like a central you and a whole bunch of you's in other universes and when something happens to them something happens like the main one where he loses part of himself or something and I was just like having trouble sleeping because I was like thinking about this but also the nightmare and then there was this really loud annoying noise outside I got like no sleep that night

628.068 - 652.638 Bob

what was the what was the noise what was the outside noise wait never figured it out how long did the noise go on you didn't like look out the window or something well it sounded like it was like construction like down the road or something's what it sounded like just just throw out there like and all night there was this horrible screeching outside of our window anyway no it was like a weird really noise far enough away where i knew it wasn't my problem but it was close enough where it was annoying

Chapter 2: How does the Three Word Sales Pitch game work?

653.398 - 679.883 Bob

I've never had a dream where I've approached it from different ways like either you have the same nightmare or you have I don't know this was like thematic like back here again like Groundhog Day nightmare I've never had it like that sounds kind of like you're having nightmares about all the different ways your house is trying to kill you and destroy your life and all the different ways you've tried to fix it and not succeeded somehow oh mm-hmm analyzed well interesting small talk

0

680.396 - 688.131 Bob

Almost as interesting as Mark's small talk that he definitely said out loud and I didn't just make up in my head. Look, I did stuff. Oh, wow.

0

688.211 - 690.355 Wade

There's a purple light. Oh.

0

690.415 - 723.378 Bob

Whoa. It's actively currently three-dimensionally printing. Look at that. Is that a Prusa? It's the cheapest one that they sold on monoprice.com three years ago. It's an MP Select V3. The print area is almost four inches cubed. It means I can almost print something that's of a usable size. No, I am. I'm sort of just getting back into the hobby now, and I'm going to buy something new long term.

0

723.458 - 744.719 Bob

But I'm like, I might as well practice. I've got this little guy, and he says it was a bitch and a half to get him working. He sat for two years because he sat after we moved, and it does not automatically level its own bed. Yeah, do that shit by turning set screws. And God was that miserable. But it's very level now. And it's printing pretty well.

Chapter 3: What are the first three word prompts and pitches?

744.999 - 768.511 Bob

Also, originally I was using filament that I bought three years ago when I bought the thing. Turns out that's not good for filament. It was not in an airtight anything. It was just a roll of filament that's been kicking around my house and moved across the country. I think it had a little humidity and possibly bugs in it. And the printer didn't care for that. But anyway, you know.

0

768.891 - 773.636 Bob

3D printing stuff. It's fun. I'm like you, Mark. I make things, you know?

0

773.656 - 790.332 Unknown Speaker

I actually, it's funny because all the 3D printers that Prusa has sent are here and set up. And it was only after all of them were out of the box and set up that I remembered, oh yeah, I was supposed to film some of that. And then I looked at all of them finished and I'm like...

0

794.237 - 796.497 Bob

Ah, shit. Start taking them apart.

0

797.198 - 812.66 Unknown Speaker

No, I'm going to put one fully assembled in a box and I'm going to be just like... I'm going to do it in, like, fusion or something. I'll just have, like, constant... Just, like, printer after printer coming up out of it. Like, wow, look at this.

812.72 - 820.282 Bob

Just take one box and, like, hold it up like a box of cereal and, like, dump all of them out all at once. Probably a big box.

Chapter 4: What are some funny references and banter about the pitches?

820.802 - 821.722 Unknown Speaker

I'll have Lixian do that. Just...

0

822.318 - 839.009 Bob

Just film yourself just doing that with nothing else. Be like, hey, Lexi, can you make the printers fall out and then bounce around and land in their spots where they are? It's so easy. Can you just, okay, for once?

0

839.429 - 855.357 Unknown Speaker

Just edit Mark putting one together. This is what editors are all about. Bob, I'm going to dump a box of 3D printers on your head. So here we go. Oh. Oh, they're smacking you in the face. Please don't put a big penis in front of me, please.

0

858.418 - 880.824 Bob

As long as it's so big you can't tell exactly if it is or isn't a penis, we probably won't even get in trouble. Mark, you get a jorkin' it point. I miss our old Minecraft streams. Did we do that a lot in Minecraft? I guess we did make Smokey the Bear with a huge penis coming out of his black leather thong. You know how many times we tried to do penis cannons?

0

881.805 - 898.493 Bob

Oh, that was a thing we did a lot, wasn't it? And it only worked the last time when we cheated, because literally we had Zombie or whoever on the server just, like, make one that worked. And we showed up to it, and it worked. That poor man. We're just like, Zombie!

898.873 - 900.054 Wade

We need a working penis cannon!

901.238 - 920.074 Bob

I cannot imagine why he ever agreed to let us come back or continue to participate in all of that bullshit. But he was a trooper, and we would have had nothing without him. I mean, we would have figured it out, but, you know. No. We're intelligent. We were drunk. Good at stuff when you're drunk.

920.094 - 935.431 Unknown Speaker

That's true. Wait, you're the host. Yeah. Ah, there it is. By the way, I didn't kill someone. And this isn't like a fresh tattoo or something. This is just a scratch that happens to be in the shape of a teardrop right by my eye. I didn't kill anybody.

936.058 - 942.521 Bob

Keep saying that. It sounds more true every time you say it vehemently. Is that what that means? I thought it was a thing mimes did.

Chapter 5: What are the second set of three word prompts and pitches?

Chapter 6: How do the hosts discuss movies and theater experiences?

197.839 - 200.684 Unknown Speaker

Imagine it. Oh my god, it's working.

0

201.325 - 208.661 Bob

I'm envisionationating, is what I call it. Something happened. Anyway, good small talk, Mark.

0

208.961 - 213.045 Wade

Gamer's the one with Gerard Butler and Dexter, right? And Michael C. Hall.

0

213.265 - 216.828 Unknown Speaker

I don't know why I remember their names. I'm really bad at names.

0

217.068 - 218.329 Wade

I never remember Michael C. Hall.

218.75 - 225.776 Unknown Speaker

For a movie that I barely watched, like I watched passively, I really remember that movie a lot. I don't know why. Alright.

227.056 - 244.029 Bob

There's something about it that really... I've seen it once. I watched it on an airplane, and it was one of those where I was like, ugh, what's on here? And I just watched it literally because I was bored on an airplane. And I also remember huge chunks of that movie for no apparent reason.

244.049 - 252.675 Wade

I remember them going face-to-face. Cable. Castle. And then Michael C. Hall starts singing the Under Your Skin song. The dance at the end. Yeah. Yeah.

254.116 - 258.037 Unknown Speaker

I don't think that's how they dance, but, you know. No, no, that was it. That was it.

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' recent personal updates and experiences?

422.385 - 440.78 Bob

It would work for Pulp Fiction because the Pulp Fiction starts with the radio. They're scanning the radio and you just, one of them is just the Star Wars theme and it just starts and you do the whole thing. And then it's like, and then it goes right into the, you don't have to change the movie. You just cut that in at the beginning.

0

441.16 - 447.465 Wade

God, I've not seen that movie in so long. I thought the opening scene was in the restaurant. That is not the opening scene. I don't think. Is it? No.

0

448.846 - 462.672 Bob

yes no it's in the it's in the car right on the they're on the way to the guy who has the burger i believe you it's just also been like 20 years for me well now you're making me question my reality i'm gonna give you a point for that i think the quiet place should open that way

0

465.509 - 480.633 Unknown Speaker

They show the orchestra and it's just subtitles. It's like subdued trumpet. No, no, it's full on. Just like you get a nice, quiet, you know, landscape. You've seen set. And then all the monsters come running. So it's like it shows you if there's noise.

0

480.733 - 491.816 Bob

That would kind of work, though. It does the whole crawl into space. And then it slowly like pans down to the planet and zooms in. And right as it's zooming in and the strings are all...

493.496 - 517.982 Bob

and it like fades out and it's just quiet for the whole rest of everything this works with every movie this is a great idea thank you it was wade's but i'll take credit mark agrees it's such a good idea it's his now all right i mean who am i to argue with the host is mark the host now too well no you just said that it was his idea now so i said that he said that it's his idea well i agree with you i'm glad we can agree on something

518.447 - 526.573 Wade

I didn't do anything else. I think Friday, Saturday and Sunday don't exist anymore for me. I don't know what happened those three days. What does that mean?

526.953 - 538.681 Bob

I can't remember. Like you're so busy or like you don't get out of bed. I just can't remember those three days. You must exist.

539.241 - 545.966 Wade

I mean, you don't have to exist. I just sort of assume that you do. I think I do. I just I don't recall those days.

Chapter 8: What are the challenges faced with 3D printing and related humor?

858.418 - 880.824 Bob

As long as it's so big you can't tell exactly if it is or isn't a penis, we probably won't even get in trouble. Mark, you get a jorkin' it point. I miss our old Minecraft streams.

942.541 - 947.543 Unknown Speaker

Yes, they're both true.

948.043 - 967.884 Bob

One meaning of, I think, the teardrop tattoo is in some gang cultures or some specific cultures that you get one for each person you kill or something. At least that's what TV tells me. One for each movie that made me cry. Yeah, you should definitely get... Start getting those.
