Chapter 1: What is the theme of 'We've Never Done This Before'?
It's time for We've Never Done This Before. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractible. That's right, you never had a choice to begin with. No, we're not going to tackle the concept of free will today. Yes, I knew you would be here. No, I'm not going to tell you how I knew that. Yes, I'm excited to see you on the next episode, too. Yeah, anyway, I'm your host for today.
My name is Bob, and I'm the host because I won the last one. I did win the last one, right? Yeah, I think so. I just started talking, and then I blacked out. I don't know what happened. Did I say anything weird?
Not as weird as me, apparently, or maybe weirder. Depending on what got points, I don't know what did.
Okay.
No one has opted to suffer, though. He usually just finds something to write with.
Oh! Sorry.
What?
He's suffering. Put him out of his misery.

Chapter 2: What bizarre news headlines are discussed?
he got food in my water hey it's pretty good I'm not doing this for points I'm just starving oh no Tyler got me the poo book and I actually got water in my poo does it turn back into poo if you get too much water on it I don't know I went to set my water down and I don't know what happened but I like I became the Hulk for a second and squeezed really hard but then I also like pushed it as I did so I like squeezed it and threw it and just go ahead do your thing man
Yeah, I said how it works, something, winner, host, whatever. How's it going, gentlemen? Let's just jump right into small talk. How's everybody doing? Wade's covered in poop or something.
I guess I could take it over while he's dealing with whatever in the hell he's doing. I'm doing good. I'll give you a choice. I could talk about my personal life or talk about this headline that's hilarious to me, but probably not actually hilarious, but it's intriguing.
I mean, I'd like to hear about your personal life, but the headline, you sold it so well.
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. I don't think the article is actually going to tell any more of the story than what the title is. I think the entirety of it is right there. Is this a really successful odd operation? How old? It was a 17-year-old?
17-year-old who had a parasitic twin, which I believe is a case where the twin is not... Partially absorbed? Alive, but yeah, partially there. Like the cells were splitting when it was an embryo and it didn't split quite right in some place and then, you know...
It sounds like the 17-year-old is fine, hopefully, from the surgery, and I'm sure they were okay beforehand, but that's going to be tough to live with, I got to imagine. I have no idea how big or small these things were, but that must just be kind of funky to live with.
in less because i i'm telling you the well is dry on news titles this season why where'd all the news go mark just nothing's happening everything's boring but there is one that i want to read because i feel like it's a it it's sort of a psa but sort of a like a common sense please texas official warns against measles parties as outbreak keeps growing I'm sorry, what is a measles party?
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.

Chapter 3: Why are movie trailers causing controversy?
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.
I guess I just don't even get that because, I mean, you see a movie trailer, maybe you're going to see the movie, but of all the trailers I've ever seen, there were only a handful where I saw the trailer and I was like, whoa, I was unaware of that movie. Now I'm going to go see that movie. It's always like... Oh, I'm not interested in this. Oh, I'm not interested in this.
Oh, I really want to see this movie already. Maybe it has more of an effect on other people, but that just seems kind of stupid to me.
You'd think they'd have to see good return on doing it or they wouldn't keep doing it. But there are so many and they're long. And when the movie time is supposed to start, the movie should start.
I feel like it would make more sense if the movie just started at the advertised time and the trailers ran before and you had to get there a little early if you wanted to see the trailers. Because then it's like, you can't really be mad if you don't see the trailers. But also, then the movie happens at a time where you don't have to guess how long. All of that aside, this dude won money for this?
In a court?
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.
I mean, I guess I just find it hard to feel too bad for a guy who was going to see a movie that, if it started exactly on time, still would have made him late for work if he stayed and watched the entire thing. Like, the argument that they play too many trailers, I'm totally on board with, but...
that's stupid yeah there is something about advertising a movie starting at four that doesn't start at four that seems wrong but him being like i was late for work because of you it's like i knew what time it was and i chose not to leave and then i was late for work because i chose not to leave i also chose to watch a movie literally right before work Only showing this century of this movie.

Chapter 4: What are the challenges with healthcare and prescriptions?
They want people to get their prior auths posthumously.
You know what's even stupider is I do, I also take Ozempic, the real shit, not any of those fake subglutides. No, I am actually the person who Ozempic was originally made for because I am diabetic and it has helped my... Oh, I thought you meant literally you, like they met with you and they're like, all right, we're going to find a way. I'm the reason it was invented. They named it after him too.
Yeah. Little known fact. My middle name. I've been using Ozempic since before it was cool. That's the first one I got. Of all the medicines I take, that's the one where I would understand if the insurance was like, does he need this? Or is he just trying to get skinny for free? First of all, that part of it doesn't work for me. Not everyone gets skinny on Ozempic.
I don't know if everyone knows that. Big disappointment on my end. But also, no, I'm just tired. Anyway, Mark, you talked about this a bunch. It's not news. If you're an American...
You understand the horrors, but I'm trapped in the middle of trying to get prior authorizations for medicines I've been taking for almost a decade or more, in some cases, for a disease I've had since I was 17 years old. But whatever. They just want to check and make sure I'm still diabetic, I guess. I don't know.
It's one of those things where I know there's a list of issues to tackle in this country, in our society, but I really wish that one would be tackled relatively sooner from what it's currently being tackled at, which is never.
um because yeah it's absurd and everyone agrees that it's absurd and some people agree so much that it's absurd that they take special action into these things um but our you know official elected leaders uh seem to not think it's a priority yeah funny how that works my bald stylist would just say go to turkey they've got the cure for everything in turkey
probably get medicine every other country i've ever traveled to i didn't get sick in all of them but all the ones where i got sick or like when we were on tour you guys had issues and stuff every other country we were like oh god mark's getting sick fuck how are we gonna get doctors and all the people in that country were like dude come see a doctor medicine please oh my god i hope you feel better and we're just like but but how expensive was that that was like no bill what the what
Shocking.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts break the ice with personal revelations?
I'm a stalactite because I'm inside and I'm just hanging out.
I don't know why I felt guilty for laughing at that. That was a decent joke. It deserved a laugh.
It was also true. I'm a homebody. I like to chill. So wait, which one are you? Tight. Tights are the ones that hang, I believe. I had to look it up because I never remember the might versus tight. I don't know how tight, ceiling, might, floor. I don't know. What's the connection?
Clearly, I know the difference. My vibe. My vibe. Guys, my vibe. The mighty Redwood. Just tall, powerful, girthy as hell, unstoppable, well-respected, top of the tree food chain, if you know what I mean. That's probably how trees work.
Napoleon Syndrome self-centered trees.
get a lot of burls that everyone wants to come steal off you yeah yeah people always after my burls they are that's true yeah you're like the lucky charms leprechaun of burls except you know a tall leprechaun tall tree sure yeah whatever whatever you want uh-huh whatever that is an elf is that an elf are you saying an elf is a tall leprechaun yeah Why not?
Have you ever seen a tall leprechaun and an elf in the same place? You got me there.
Yeah. I think Lucky's kids, like there's one that inherits the family business and the rest go to work for Santa.
Who's Lucky? Lucky Charms. Is that his name? They're not called Lucky's Charms. They are Lucky Charms.

Chapter 6: What are the hosts' most used emojis?
I can tell you this because it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's the water polo player, and I don't know why. It once showed up in my top emoji list, and I've never used it before, but now I always use it because it's just always there.
Is that yours, Wade? Yep. I don't even know how to describe that. What face is that? Gritted teeth face? Gritted teeth. But he's not smiling.
It's in my top three. It's the gritted teeth, the heart emoji, and then the shrug. It's the guy going like,
The shrug is appropriate for you.
I can see you texting that a lot to people. Actually, these are my next most used emojis. Those make sense. I don't know why you have a water polo player as your most used. I don't know. I don't know.
Wait, what is this? My third most used emoji is an Apple Genmoji of a lion playing football. I guess I text about lions football a lot to people. Also, my number one, I just want to say is the fork and knife sitting next to each other. And it's because that's what I call Fortnite in text message forms. So I text, there's several groups that I'm in where I'm like, hey, you guys want a fork knife?
okay fort fortnight and uh water polo living in your guys heads i don't know what the deal is with the football line i swear i use other emojis other i made that once uh i think we have talked about that but i just can't i just wanted to know you know so water polo fork and knife and gritted teeth it makes sense when you don't think about it yeah yeah all right this one won't be contentious i know we're only just getting to know each other but this is kind of a question for all three of us
but mostly for you two. If you could be one of the other two people on this call, who would you choose to be?
How long term is this?

Chapter 7: Who would the hosts choose to swap lives with and why?
Or you could play Monster Hunter and build a new set of armor every time you kill a new monster.
No, the used tool market, I am excited about Monster Hunter. And probably after this, that's what I'm going to go do. But the used tool market is interesting. There's so much good shit out there.
It is. And the technology for everything is turning over so fast, there's always a cycle of people getting rid of old tools that aren't even old. They're completely functional.
It's true. If you want or need tools, or if you're trying to get into a hobby that requires tools... Definitely check out like I just sit and I just look on Facebook Marketplace a lot, but there's a lot like there's also like forum like reddits and stuff on like there's so many like there's so many good tools that are already out there. You might as well just get a use one.
Did you see Michael Reeves Facebook Marketplace video? Yes. Yeah, with the low-balling bots.
Yeah, the gaslighting bot.
God, that was so funny.
The editing on that one was particularly insane as well. I don't know why. But yeah, Wade, you gotta check out Michael Reeve's Facebook Marketplace video. I'm not a Facebook Marketplace guy, but Amy looks at Facebook Marketplace and finds tons of great deals there. I don't use Facebook anymore, but... If I did, I would go there.
I'm annoyed that I have to go through Facebook to look at Facebook Marketplace, but Craigslist isn't really a thing anymore. And there are other apps and things that are sort of in that vein, but around here, Facebook Marketplace is definitely the best.

Chapter 8: What insights are shared about acquiring tools and hobbies?
I don't know if this is true, but the first one I thought of was finish what you start.
Because I don't finish a single fucking game I play. Imagine for life, never finish.
You just think that's bad advice because you're incapable of following it? No. I feel like that sounds like decent advice.
You'd think it would.
I also don't follow that advice, so I'm totally with you.
I think the worst advice I have ever received was probably
probably something to do with uh investing in foreign exchange currencies i remember forex mark uh-huh i remember that that was a phase man it was a very brief window and you know it was crazy because i was like oh yeah i got the strats i know what to do i got some money i've been working this job and then you know that oh that story ends with me
in a bathroom stall hunched over my cell phone watching a red line just go down and down and down and down and down sweating like oh god oh i should i should i could cancel it but it might go back up oh i guess still going down yeah so uh i lost about i lost about 40 of my money in one move and then i never did it again
Honestly, of all the different types of like fast-paced day trading stuff, Forex does strike me as one of the things where if you just develop a really simple system of rules and you don't do anything crazy, you kind of could probably make a little bit of money at it, but it's just probably not worth that much.
