Chapter 1: Who are the hosts and competitors in this episode?

62.308 - 71.712 Bob

My name is Bob. I'm going to be the host for this episode because the way the show works is one of us wins and they host the next episode. That means I won the last one. The competitors for today are Mark and Wade.

0

72.372 - 74.493 Mark

Hello. I'm in a slightly different environment.

0

75.01 - 98.847 Bob

But shock though you may be, I have an episode all planned out. I did research and writing, and I'm pretty excited about it. This is a Mandy idea, and then I took the idea and I made it slightly worse, but so it's still really good. I have to put my own spin on it and ruin it a little bit, but we'll get to that later. Before we get to that, we always do small talk. How's it going?

99.227 - 102.49 Wade

I just had my birthday. I'm older. Happy birthday.

102.87 - 122.249 Wade

thank you i ate my one of my favorite meals and then we went and got some ice cream because molly wanted my mom and my sister to get the ride in her new car and she's like what if we go get ice cream then we came back and we did like the cake and it was just so much sugar and i don't know i can't do sugar like i used to or even eat as much as i used to i pounded a lot of food

122.87 - 136.701 Wade

So I only had like one meal yesterday, but man, oh man, it was a good one. But then I could not eat the rest of the day. I was so full. Getting used to new technology, I got an Apple Watch from my family. So I had my phone in my pocket, my Apple Watch on, and we were driving in the car.

136.841 - 154.413 Wade

And this is not a thing that's surprising to anyone who's had a car since probably 2012, but Molly's car was not a 2012. It was a little bit older than that. So someone called me, they switched me happy birthday, and my phone started vibrating, my watch started screaming, and the car switched from music to calling. And I was like, I don't know which one to answer.

154.473 - 159.934 Wade

I was kind of like panicking, like, so I didn't answer at all and completely ignored.

161.535 - 165.476 Bob

You just let it buzz until it was done and you were like, ah, I hate that.

Chapter 2: What is Wade's birthday story and his experience with new technology?

985.783 - 992.067 Wade

We need the Titanic without the stags. I need space for car. Without the stags? Stags. The big smoke stacks.

0

992.788 - 997.351 Bob

Oh. I think a car. Wasn't there a car that they had sex in with the stacks on the Titanic?

0

997.671 - 1000.794 Wade

Yeah, that was below. There's a converter planning this on top deck.

0

1002.762 - 1012.909 Mark

Kind of see the stars. I'm going to enjoy the boat ride over in my car. We'll replace some of the lifeboats with more cars so it's got more car space.

0

1012.929 - 1021.816 Bob

That sounds good. Those are good slots for car storage. That's true. Then your car can get all the sun it needs to grow and be a healthy car.

1046.144 - 1076.346 Bob

It's okay. I know you guys are going to be excited about the topic that I have ready for today. It's a thing we've talked about before. It's a thing we all know a lot about. We're getting older. No, we're going to talk about operas. Oh boy. Oh, everybody loves the opera. Yeah, Brian Regan joke, indeed. You're not the Brian Regan one. Do you know that bit?

1076.646 - 1081.487 Wade

No, apparently every joke I make, Brian Regan did it first. He's the Simpsons of my existence.

1081.547 - 1105.053 Bob

That's the exact song where he's like, someone sings it and then he's like, Oh, he kind of likes her. Yeah, you're right. But she's not really that into him. I swear to you, I have no knowledge. But yeah, we're going to talk about operas, guys. I know how much you love operas. So we're going to play a game.

Chapter 3: Why can't Mark wear an Apple Watch comfortably?

2577.24 - 2579.641 Bob

Parts of me just cringed I didn't even know could.

0

2580.101 - 2583.743 Unknown

Bro, where are we dropping?

0

2589.235 - 2604.696 Mark

At this point, he's actively harming this podcast. He's actively harming it. So what do we do? Kill me. The audience lunge at him, hands outstretched.

0

2605.891 - 2609.673 Wade

Send your bowls. Send your best bowls my way. All right.

0

2610.013 - 2636.366 Bob

All right. Real or fake? I'm going to get one of these right. This opera is called Glass Chapel in a remote mountain monastery made entirely of glass. A mute monk discovers a hidden score said to summon angels. He learns to sing through silent devotion, and the more he sings of the song, the more the chapel begins to fracture and destroy itself.

2636.726 - 2649.453 Bob

The climax is that knowing it will destroy the chapel and sacrificing his life, he finishes performance of this angelic music to summon the angels and destroys the glass chapel and kills himself.

2650.672 - 2671.276 Mark

fake an opera with only one character i don't think so i don't think so i probably i have no idea i mean there are other characters but no there are no other characters i'm likely losing so i'm gonna say real because i just need the points i love this for you that one's fake

2675.935 - 2695.844 Bob

Another. The Clockmaker of Dresden. A classic. Albrecht, a reclusive clockmaker whose inventions are said to steal time from those who hear their chimes, has a fiancée. She dies mysteriously, and he descends into madness, and he builds his...

2696.784 - 2717.226 Bob

ultimate invention which is just a giant clock that he's trying to have reverse time so he can get his fiance back but on the final 13th forbidden chime it freezes time forever oh also the clock is an automaton shaped like his fiance and as time freezes he's hugging it
