Bob Muyskens
Wicked. Wade gets double teamed, gives a psa on delivery etiquette, and callowly betrays his baldness. From Chapstick gate to Mister Villeneuve. Yes, it's time for it's over, it's done. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.

Hello, and welcome back to distractible, your favorite podcast on earth. My name is Bob. I'm gonna be the host today because I won, and that's the rules that we play by. I host. The other two guys who are here will compete, and the winner of this episode will host the next episode, and that means I'm the host because I'm the best, and I won.

Anyway, the guys who will be competing to be the next host and second best on the podcast, I think, uh, are Mark and Wade. Say hi, mark and Wade. Hi, Mark and Wade. Hi. Hello, Bob.

I disagree with what both of you chose to do, but I appreciate that Wade followed my instructions. Uh, hi. Yes, hello. That. Are you guys ready to compete?

Mark Fischbach
Yes. No, I've never. I've never been more ready. Okay. That's, uh, ominous.

Bob Muyskens
I have a thing planned, but traditionally we do before cease. What? Silence, host. I'm giving air quotes for those that aren't watching. Host.

Mark Fischbach
I'm frantically trying to look up some. Something so I can have an accurate thing to throw in your face. I'll wait for your insult to load. No, I'm trying to find on the subreddit, because there was. There was history in the making, right?

Historical precedent has been set. The system works, and it works for me because I put a poll. I put a poll on that subreddit about the injustice that occurred in 20 questions, part one, or whatever the stupid. Name it was named the extremely fair and good episode. Yeah, I don't recall any injustice.

Wade Barnes
You mean the one where you couldn't figure out what silverware was? It wasn't silverware. I figured out what silverware was. The one where Mark forgot what a fork is and that it can be made of plastic. No, no, no, no.

Bob Muyskens
Wade had a type of ball, and Mark had a type of fork. And somehow Mark's was unfair. You picked Wade's passion ball. His ball of passion. You like forks, dude?

Wade Barnes
I've seen you use them all the time, bro. You love forks. I am half korean. You can practically say that. I was born with one chopstick in my hand.

Mark Fischbach
I am not a fork man. Yeah, the other one had a fork. Cuz you're half german. I don't know what they use in Germany. If it's forks, damn them.

Bob Muyskens
It's definitely forks. Germans are big forkers. That's true. Yeah, huge forkers. But, Bob, you lost.

Mark Fischbach
I threw a red flag on the play, and for the first time in distractible history, the audience, the viewership, the listenership, those elegant, elegant people were on my side in a landslide. All of them agreed. Almost all of them, a vast majority. Plastic fork was not fair, especially given the circumstances of the answers that Bob was giving, somehow saying that Wade's could be metal at some point. No, I see.

Bob Muyskens
But I. That was a thing where I had originally said it could be metal, but I was like, that doesn't make sense. And then I said, it's not metal because basketballs aren't made of metal. I corrected it in a way that made sense. That's.

See, this is the thing. This is the thing that gets me subreddit. All of you in the comments were like, oh, Bob said this. Oh, Bob said that. You didn't even listen to the goddamn episode.

Because I didn't say any of that shit. People were just making stuff up to take Mark's side. That people put words in my mouth that I never uttered. The plastic fork was injustice. And therefore I invoke article of the distractible constitution to spin the wheel of fairness.

Oh, God, I forgot that was a thing. God, I hate that. That's called Bob's one man show with. No w. Oh, shit.

Mark Fischbach
What we decreed was that just because injustice occurred does not necessarily mean that the entirety of the episode must be overturned. Even though the entirety of the win kind of hinged on this one thing, because we only had one. It really didn't. You just really sucked at 20 questions. I know that.

Cause I hosted one, too, and I won. No, you were terrible at it. My win was awful. Like I remember. Disgusting.

It's fair, because I now have a 47% chance to get that win back. It's not guaranteed. We're throwing it to fate. And fate decrees that it's not all in my hands. It's just a chance that it's my win.

But also, it could still be Wade's win because fate might decide that. Yeah. I gotta say, when you loaded it in, have to spin it because it's already declared what it want. I haven't spun it already done been spun. No, it hasn't.

I think, actually it defaults to Bob's one man show when I first loaded in here, so let's not do that. No, that's the case. Why is it on Wade woods? Do you want me to reload the p. I'll reload the goddamn page.

Okay. There we go. Is that better?

All right, so if for people that are only listening, it's a circle you're not missing out on much. It's a circle. 47% of it says mark wins. 47% of it says wade wins, and 6%, as decreed by the constitution, says Bob's one man show as written by Mark and Wade. So what was the deal for that?

Bob Muyskens
You two write a one man show for me that I then have to perform as, like, a bonus episode? Yeah. How long does that to be? I don't know, like, 30 minutes. Oh, God.

We'll see about that. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. It's just like a solo. Let's play without the game.

Am I obligated to perform it? Well, no, we don't done anything well. Well, hey, speak for yourself. Come on, now. I am.

Mark Fischbach
Are you prepared to let fate render judgment upon. It would be really anticlimactic if all this happened just for Wade to get the win. Nothing happened. I know. We didn't really think that through, did we?

Cue the music. Bum, bum, bum. Yeah, maybe the editors. Leave that to the editors. Oh, got it.

I'm going to spin this wheel, and fate shall decide what happens in three, two, one. I don't like how it lags on our end. Oh, God. Oh, no. Oh, no, no.

Bob Muyskens
I mean, yes, but. Oh, it was right there. It's like a pixel away from the one man show happening. Oh, no. I mean, yes.

Yay. Hooray. Mark is vindicated, and everything's good, and no one has to do a one man show. I feel like I got screwed here. I still won, though.

Have a win. Calm down. Oh, it was right there. Oh, man. I win, though.

Mark Fischbach
Justice has been served. But, oh, man. Fate wanted you to know, Bob, that you're on thin ice. Yeah, that was. That was a warning shot across the bow.

Wade Barnes
I guess next time, I don't know, a simple household object, I'll just protest, too. Well, you have two flags, so. Oh, I didn't actually buy any. No, you got them for free. I'm out of flags until the next season.

What's the next season? Next year? Yeah, it's, like, annual. Oh, hell, yeah, dude. Or it's actually bi annual.

Mark Fischbach
So maybe whenever we get on a boat, I think, is when the season ends and the next time we're all. On a boat, the boat's the. The bipedal episode or something. Bi something? I thought you were the one who knew the word bipedal.

Wade Barnes
I do. We have to stand on the boat. Good job, Mark. A win for you, sir. Thank you very much.

Mark Fischbach
Add that to my total and take it from. Well, yeah, take it from Wade. I don't think so. Yes, you have to subtract one from him and give it to me. It's a net zero, Wade.

Count. Win count. It's a net, Wade. You're a zero. Count.

Wade Barnes
I didn't screw up, man. Why would I lose a win? Cause fate just gave me the win back. You're the one didn't know what a fork was. You got your win.

Just be happy. You didn't even know what a basketball was. Why are you pretending like you had any better luck in that episode? I believe I won that episode by knowing what a basketball was. You did win that episode.

Bob Muyskens
That's true. Anyway, fate is decreed. Bob, you're on thin ice. Wade, you lose a win, I get a win. And the episode continues.

Wade Barnes
Respin. Nah, I'm good. I have never been more terrified of anything on this show than of that wheelspin. Was there any clause to increase the. Chance after the next?

Bob Muyskens
No, but we could do whatever we want. I mean, the constitution. What is a constitution anyway? I feel like next successful flag should have 1% more chance for that one man show. Ah, fuck.

Double it. Double it. 12%. Yeah. What are the odds it'll be you again in the hot seat?

Since we're talking about past episodes and people getting screwed over, I just want to put this out there. You've all made a terrible mistake. I. In Wade's 20 question episode, I rose quite a stink about the idea of chapstick being a container. And then the subreddit talked it over and seemingly unanimously agreed that somehow Wade's answer was correct, that chapstick is not a container.

And I just want a cha. Like, I dare you to show me chapstick that's not in a container. I dare you to go to a store and buy me some chapstick that's not just a plastic tube. I think that that is the most outrageous bullshit, and I just want to say you've all made a mistake. Chapstick's in a container.

Wade Barnes
It's not a container. The item called chapstick is a container filled with lip balm. The container is an equal partner in what the item is. If I gave you a handful of lip balm, you wouldn't be like, oh, chapstick. You'd be like, what the fuck is this?

Bob Muyskens
Why'd you take the chapstick out of its container? I can't use that. That's disgusting. You just. You ask weird questions.

Wade Barnes
It was a weird question. I gave you the best answer on the fly I could, okay? I'd be like, is it medical? And you'd be like, yeah, no. You're like, would you say that?

It spins. It's like, well, you fucking could spin it. The question I asked is, is it a container? And you were like, well, yeah, no, no. Yeah, no.

Hey, you know what I did? I shared all of my responses and your questions with Mark. And Mark's like, yeah, I think you did well. Yeah, of course you did. Great.

Bob Muyskens
Excellent. I am not going to say anything about this except that I kind of agree with Bob. You literally agreed with me during the episode post. Actively. What?

Mark Fischbach
You want to throw a flag about that? Do it. It's unflaggable. You can no longer challenge the offense. Plus, the subreddit already declared that I was right.

Bob Muyskens
You know, it's the damnedest thing. Wade. We went out to eat the other night, and I sat down, and the waiter was like, what would you have? What do you want to drink? And I was like, diet Coke.

So a bitch just came and poured Diet Coke all over the table. And he was like, you didn't say in a glass. If I said that. If the option was coke, and you said, is it a container? You would say, yes, coke is a container.

I would say it comes in a container. I would say a container is a crucial part of it. You cannot buy Coca Cola that doesn't come in a can or a bottle of some sort. Even if you get Vaseline, it does still come in a container. So he's kind of.

Mark Fischbach
The container is implied. It comes in a container. It is not itself a container, which was the question. The item of chapstick does not exist if there is no container. You know, it's the damnedest thing.

Bob Muyskens
Wade, we ordered doordash for dinner the other night, and I was like, give me some fajitas. And. And Mandy wanted, like, a quesadilla, and they just dumped a pile of mexican food right on the porch. Now we're getting into cannoli taste. We cannot say there's a difference between containers and cannolis.

Mark Fischbach
And a fajita is basically a flat cannoli, and we can't do anything with it. A fajita in a bag. Is it a super cannoli? No, no. I mean, the fajita is basically a cannoli.

Wade Barnes
Right? But a fajita in a bag would be a cannoli in a cannoli. No, it's just cannoli in a bag. Yeah, it's canoli in the bag. Canole in a taco.

Mark Fischbach
Really? Honestly? Well, technically, every fucking thing could be in a container that I want. Bag of house. My house is also in a container.

Bob Muyskens
Not things that can be in a container, things that always come in a container. The container is an important part of it. The chapstick thing. It is a fancy container with a built in mechanism to extrude things from. I got it.

Wade Barnes
Bob doesn't know what lip balm is. I'll never use it again. If you ever ask me for anything that's supposed to come in a container weighed, and you don't specify that you also want the container. That's not part of the item you asked for. God help you.

Bob Muyskens
You better not ask me to bring you any body wash or lip balm. You better be careful what you say. It's all I'm throwing out there. Got it. I'm not upset about this.

I've just been thinking a lot about it and think you're gonna rue the day. I was upset during the episode because every question you asked was fucking annoying as hell. Cause I didn't know how to answer it. It was like 20 questions. It was like, oh, my God.

Wade Barnes
I feel like I'm fucking presenting my thesis. Just ask if it's medicine. I've never had you two at each other's, going at each other. It's always been me. And finally, the wrist.

Yeah, no, you're the one that threw the flag and almost put Bob on the side. Medical. And you were like, eh, kind of. I need to rewatch this episode. I feel like I gave great answers.

Bob Muyskens
No, see, this is fine. You're just trying to get me worked up. I'm not gonna fall for your trap. Also, are you still hosting? Didn't Mark just, like, usurp a win?

Mark Fischbach
I think it's just the win goes in my bucket. There's a season champion, so the season. The win numerically, is important. Wait, you won last season. Do you not remember that?

Wade Barnes
I did. Oh, hell yeah, dude. I can't think of anyone more deserving.

Bob Muyskens
Anyway, so I think before Mark started all of this, I was about to say we usually do small talk first. Oh, yeah. We should do that. You guys got any small talk? I forgot we were recording.

Wade Barnes
I thought we were just chatting. I forgot we were live this whole time. I'll let Wade go first. I would love to go first before he talks for, like, half an hour about his dumb lenses or his movie or whatever. I got stuff, too.

Bob Muyskens
Yeah, Mark's definitely going to talk about lenses today. That's what's on his mind. This whole episode has been about Mark. So far, it's not been Wade. Central enough.

Mark Fischbach
All right. I don't know what happened recently.

Wade Barnes
I had a great Mother's day. Thank you for asking. Yeah. Did you get the praise you deserve? I got none, which is probably fair, because I don't think I'm a mom.

Okay, here's. Here's a question for you boys, because this is something I talked about with Molly, and I was like, do we wish everyone we know that's a parent, a happy mother's day? Or is it, like, do you keep it, like, close family? Because I was, like, I was going to reach out to, like, Mandy and Addie and, like, all these people, like, I should say happy Mother's day. And Molly's like, I think you just say that to, like, close family.

And I was like, do you. So do you guys wish, like, everyone, happy is Mother's day, or, like, just your mom and maybe, like, a grandparent? I think for me, it's anything beyond, like, a text or if you happen to see someone just being like, hey, happy mother's day. You're a mom. Happy mother's day.

Bob Muyskens
Anything beyond that, like, sending a card or a gift is too much. Okay. Do you text all your friends that are moms? I did not. But, like, if I was.

If I was talking to someone, I would be like, oh, it's Mother's day. Yeah, happy Mother's day. We're talking about other stuff. Yeah, that's fair. But you don't reach out to.

No, I wouldn't, like, go reach out to specifically talk to them, because I. Was going to Molly's. Like, I don't think that's normal. And I was like, is it not? Because I'm a social person, so I just over socialize, I guess it really.

Mark Fischbach
Sounds funny if you would have done that. I wish you would have, because I would want to know what people's responses would be. I've done it before. They're just like, oh, thank you. But also, if it's like, you text your friends, like, I think.

I think about you being a mother. You're. You're a mother in my eyes, and I'm honoring you. Today I text people I don't even know, like, text my ex, like, happy Mother's day. That child is of your womb and is fed of your bosom.

Bob Muyskens
And I think about it often. Yes, yes, yes. It fills me with joy to think about your child and you and how your mother. Mmm. May you have a bountiful existence as a mother.

Mark Fischbach
The only definition of you in my mind. Congratulations. No, I don't. Think if you had done that, I don't think that would be weird, but I think that's, like, the maximum extent. And I think not wishing people out, like, in your friend group, happy Mother's Day is perfectly fine.

Bob Muyskens
I don't think. I don't think anyone is sitting there like, how the fuck is wade not gonna text me happy Mother's Day on the one day a year as the main character? I feel like people want me to. You feel like they really need that from you because it means so much. I did have a funny interaction that we.

Wade Barnes
We actually. We ordered food on Mother's Day and had it delivered because my. Whatever. Long story short, we ended up cooking over at my mom's house. We did delivery.

The person who delivered the food, it was a mom and a daughter. And so I was like, oh, well, happy Mother's Day. Whenever I took the food, she's like, oh, thank you. Happy Mother's Day. And I was like, thank you.

It was that thing, like, where you get on the airplane, have a safe flight. You too. Cause she said happy Mother's Day back to me. And I was like, do I laugh? Thank nod.

How do I respond? Cause I'm not a mommy. That would have been a good response. You should've gone with that. I've always been.

Mark Fischbach
It's like, it's your mother, you know? So you would honor your mother on such a day? I've never really thought of it. Like, honor is a strong word, but, you know, wait, that's way too. I think.

Bob Muyskens
I feel like honor. Honor is a good word for it. Why is that too strong of a word? I guess it's the perfect word for it. Yeah, I know.

It's pretty good. It's pretty spot on, probably. Well, I guess from your perspective of texting your friends who are mothers, if you texted them, I honor you this Mother's day. Yeah, that would be a little strange. Next Mother's day, Mandy better be ready.

Wade Barnes
Everyone better be ready. Don't even include context. Just send a big group text that just says, I honor you. All of you. What?

Mark Fischbach
You. You know what day it is? I honor you. Today I shall bow before the sun a hundred times for each of you. Today.

Wade Barnes
I'll do, like, upcoming event, I honor you day. Wait, it's invited you to his icalendar event honoring you? I mean, honestly, that would be. That'd be pretty cool. I'd go, can I go?

I'll get some. I'll get some, like, teal carpet to roll out. When is friendship day. When do we get honored by decadal? I think by decetel, actually, is what it's really called.

Bob Muyskens
Where's Dekettle? On the stove. Is this the pot calling the kettle black.

For those who aren't watching? Mark looked very sad when Wade said that out loud. No, I was laughing. What do you mean, no, I was laughing. You, like, your head went down.

You were all. No, I was. I was chuckling to myself. What do you mean? Just cause I'm in a tub doesn't mean I'm sad.

Wade Barnes
He laughed, but he was sad that he laughed. Cause he doesn't like laughing at my jokes. No, I was. I was laughing. I had a good time.

Bob Muyskens
An inch from your microphone, chuckling so quiet no one could hear it. Editors push the gain on my. You'll hear. It's like those crunchy memes. It's just smart.

Like.

Mark Fischbach
Exactly. It's there. It's actually the Freddy Fazbear chuckle.

Wade Barnes
Okay, all right. Whatever. Whatever. The other. Other small update I had was.

This is more of a. Don't do this. If you work at a place where your job is to go to people's houses for, I don't know, repair, lawn care, installation, delivery. Double check the address, especially if it's going to be, I don't know, in the middle of the night or first thing 730 in the morning or whatever else. And even if you get it wrong, mistakes happen.

Whenever an owner answers a door looks like he just woke up and is very confused about your presence. And you say you're there to install or turn something on. They're like, I don't even own that. Your response shouldn't be, well, you must. I'm supposed to be here.

It should be, oh, I must have made a mistake. And you double check your address because I had someone show up at my door at 730 in the morning, and I was very confused, having only been asleep for a couple of hours. And they were like, yeah, I'm here for such and such. And I was like, we don't have that here. And they're like, oh, well, says here, you do something's wrong, because we do not.

So I don't think you're coming into my house, sir. Get away. And he fought me on it for a few minutes. Well, probably. Probably, like, 20 seconds.

It felt like a few minutes, but, like, instead of just admitting he might have made a mistake, he was like, convinced. No, I'm here for. You're. You're the one who's wrong. And I was like, do you have the wrong address?

Mark Fischbach
Nope. This is the way. A place it took me and I gave him my address. He's like, that's not right. It's like, that's crazy, isn't it?

Wade Barnes
And then he left. Why would you argue with a homeowner that says that you're not supposed to be at their house? Look, people are stupid. They don't know. People don't even know their addresses anymore.

Bob Muyskens
They don't. You can't trust them. The dude knocked. Rang the doorbell, knocked. He rang the doorbell.

Wade Barnes
And before the doorbell was even done ringing, he was knocking. And it's like, dude, oh, you know what? I will say? I don't understand people that do that. I get it.

Bob Muyskens
Where it's like, you ring the doorbell, you don't hear anything. Maybe you knock and see if that. But people where it's like, the note, the doorbell and the knocking start simultaneously, and it's multiple doorbells. Like, I get you're. You're here to do a job or whatever, but that's rude.

Is that not rude? The man sitting there, like.

I'm with you on that. That's. That's. I don't like that. Don't do that.

Knock politely, right, Mark? Absolutely. Hey, can I rant for a second, please? Pay apps are way too public. What happened?

Mark Fischbach
Some rando hearted a payment from five months ago and I realized people can see my entire history, who I'm paying full names. Super weird. Yeah, it's weird. How are you paying your friends then? Apple cash.

It's all in messages. You can literally send cash like a text. It stays between friends. Random people can't see it. You just pay me a dollar on.

Bob Muyskens
Well, that's good small talk. Since nothing else is going on, you guys want to move on to the topic of the episode? Yeah. What's the topic? Wait.

Oh, Mark. What's going. What happened with you? Something. I have news.

Mark Fischbach
I have news. I did it. You. You used the toilet. Now I'm in the tub for that.

I did it. You made a poopy. You ate soupy. You went out to lunch with Snoopy. You agree that chapstick isn't liquid.

Wade Barnes
It's goopy. Chica had a poopy. That was gloopy. You're tired, so you feel a little loopy. Yes.

Yes. All this is true. You watched an episode of Snoopy. He already said Snoopy. You had to run away in public from a groupie.

Mark Fischbach
Uh, no, haven't had that. No. Your little nosey got a boopy.

I made a movie. Doesn't rhyme. It's a near rhyme. All right, okay. I made a moopie.

Wade Barnes
Hey. Moopie.

Mark Fischbach
I did it. Ah, well, okay, so. All right, here. Before I get ahead of anything, there's a little more. Are you in the final stretch of something, or.

No, it's like, there's a little more to do is your final stretch here. But my part in sprinting at it is done. I did it for now. Yeah. Well, technically for now, but I did it.

Bob Muyskens
Does it. Does it feel good? Are you happy? Yes, actually. It feels really, really good.

Wade Barnes
Can you share, like, a title of the movie or anything with us? Oh, yeah. Big spoiler, guys. Hold on to your hats, everyone. Keep this to yourselves.

They pronounce. What's it? Iron. Yeah. Yeah.

Bob Muyskens
Weird. Weird. How do you pronounce iron? Iron. Iron.

Mark Fischbach
Over here, mister pirate. You, Ron. Me, Wade. Iron. It's Iron Loong.

Bob Muyskens
You would know. You made the movie about it. Oh, man. I wish I could talk about, like, a bunch more stuff around it, too, because there's been some hilarious calls of brand integrations. There's been some really funny calls I've had over the past couple days.

Last week, just in the middle of the movie. It's just like Diet Coke. Oh, man. Not quite like I would love. I wanted to do something like that for space.

Wade Barnes
Is it Truman show? Like, where you're, like, in the middle of, like, some action scene. You're like, oh, shit, if only I had band aids.

Bob Muyskens
I choose Band Aid brand. Cause band aids stick on me for in space. I wanted to, I wrote a sponsored universe. There was going to be a choice that led to the sponsored universe and it was going to have all of these brand deals in it and everything fell through. Like, it didn't work.

Mark Fischbach
No one wanted to do it. They're like, where was it in it? And I'm like, it's buried in like the 16th layer. Oh, I don't know, dude. That people would have sought that out if as soon as someone found that, they would have posted online and been like, wait, there's a.

Bob Muyskens
There's a sponsored one. What? And everyone would have been like, I have to see this. And would have done that, would have made the map and everyone would have looked. It would have been very funny.

Mark Fischbach
It would have been very fun. But no, this isn't stuff in the movie. It's stuff like, you know, movie integration in other things. So just some very funny calls. I can't talk about any of it, but it's like one.

I had to call David, the developer of the game, immediately after I got the call. And I was like, what do you think of this idea? And he just, all I heard was laughing on the other end. But then at the end of he was like, you know, it's so dumb. I think it circles back around to being awesome.

Wade Barnes
And I was like, I think I'm. In the same boat. So I have officially finished my main part in getting the movie to the end, which is I've been doing basically every part, or I've been involved in every part. There were a lot of words in there that remind me of, like, legal things over, like, a lawyer giving an argument where they call, like, weasel words be like, I have done most of my main part for getting this movie kind of near the end, I'm just. Trying to say that I'm not trying to take credit for everything, right.

Mark Fischbach
Because there's over a hundred people that have put, like, their time and their sweat. I've not heard a single name other than you, David. Shout to David. I mentioned David, so. Yeah.

Ha. He's wrong. Yeah, that's true. That was literally another name he just said in, like, the previous paragraph. I know.

Wade Barnes
I amended my. Laughter. Well, anyway, there's a ton of people that have put a lot of work in, but a lot of people have been, like, curious why I've been so busy in this. And I'll give a little explanation of this, as in, like, let's just say the past week, right? So for the past week, as I've been gearing up for what I do all the time, which is cast and crew screening which I show them a version of the movie as soon as it's like well I've shown done this for heist and in space but I haven't done it for obviously a movie.

Mark Fischbach
So this was like the first version where I could finally step back and look at it as a whole and be like that is the complete story. It still needs polish and there's still like some VFX shots that need to get up there but this everything in it. And then for the final version it will be an optimized version of this version. Right. So that's what I was gearing up towards every day leading up to it for the past week has been well pretty much the same as every day before that.

Which is I wake up at six, I fix up some edits that I needed to do for the night before. I get some files ready for handoff. I get into the office at like 930, the post production house. I start handing off to the editor on site who is doing the conform cut. And then I get them the files they need.

I have to drag my entire raw hard drive array, bringing up hard drives again. But this was important because I needed to learn about that to be able to manage the 120 some terabytes of footage and things that needed to go with this. I disassemble it every day from my house, I bring it to the office, reassemble everything, get it all set up. I have already copied the files over that need to be copied, hand them off to the dude. By 1030 I can finally get a cup of coffee.

And then I go into sound mixing with Brad to go through the story. And if you guys know anything about sound mixing for these projects, Brad is an Emmy Award winning sound mixer. He is a professional of the utmost degree and he's a really cool guy. His name is Brad Engleking. He's just like super solid, really talented and down to earth and has been like really instrumental in making this sound amazing.

He has over a thousand layers of sound in his pro tool session and that's not even the most that could be in a movie. But he works like with, with thousands, thousands of layers. His, his computer does crash all the time, um, so he has to deal with that but that's on him. And then we go through every sound, we have to go through every single one that will take me unless I have a step out, which every day I do to help with conform stuff, give other notes, VFX things, talk with other people, that will take us until about 07:00. Then at the end of the day, I know what I needed to change from there to get him what he didn't have because some things have fallen through.

I take that home. I work on that until I pass out at ten, wake up at six, get at it all over again. So that's the usual, that's the usual schedule. Last week has been, especially the past three days. I was supposed to fly to LA on Saturday.

Wade Barnes
It's Tuesday. For those watching. It's Tuesday. Yes. I was supposed to fly to LA on Saturday for the a 100, which is the Asian Pacific Islanders like event.

Mark Fischbach
It's like the top 100 or something. Most influential. I was on the list, or I was at least adjacent to the list. I actually don't know because I didn't go. I didn't end up going because on Friday night we were late.

It was 01:00 a.m. We were, because we were sprinting to the finish and we'd been mixing all day and Brad was running into some trouble. And so I was looking at it and I was like, ah, man, I guess I probably shouldn't go. I really wanted to go, but I couldn't go because there was so much left to do. So it was like we were like really going.

And he doesn't usually come in on weekends, but I asked him if he could and he was very nice and he said he could because we needed a few more hours. I don't go. I get up at 04:00 a.m. Start working on this stuff. He gets in at nine and we're going through the day and then he renders out the sound for the screening and it's like, okay, this is good, we're good.

Everyone's happy. So we watch it back because I want to watch it to make sure everything is working right. At 930 at night, we realize that the entire third act has no sound effects, has no music, and has only my dialogue in it. And so it is, it's weirdly, it was still enjoyable to watch, but there was quite a lot missing. So I text Brad at 10:00 at night and we're like, we're jumping around, taking notes as we go.

And I asked if he could come in the next day and he does and we know some more fixes. And so we get out of there from watching and touching up everything at 02:00 a.m. I get it before I start working on the tweaks, I get them in and then I think the showing was at, like five. And I walk out of TBD on the way to the theater at 04:15 p.m. And so I got there, and then even at the theater, I fucked up the settings.

So there's ten bit video and there's eight bit video. I've played the whole movie in eight bit. And it was really dark. I just felt so stupid. All that works so stupid.

Like, I. Like, everyone at the post house is like, you gotta make sure you use this thing. The setup, we set it all up for you perfectly. And I get there and it's like, I'm so late there that I don't have time to test anything. So I get there and I have.

I just, like, I hear sound and I'm like, okay, perfect. I don't look at the screen, and the third guy, does it look right? And I go like, yeah, it was. An audio only movie. I have to.

I get up in the middle in the first five minutes, and I get the microphone because Cassidy grew, you know, it's like, it's not. They all know who I am, and I go like, I'm so sorry. Can I please try some? Fix this. It's not supposed to be that dark.

I could hear, like, the DP. Phil was just like, oh, no, he. Screwed up the color. It's so dark. We haven't even done the color pass.

I was just like, Phil, I brought. It's not that dark, I promise. And I couldn't fix it. So I was just like, is it okay that it's dark? And everyone's like, it's fine.

Wade Barnes
May I fast forward a little bit in your story to Monday? Whatever. A bob, I don't know if you want to take over, but you texted mark. Yeah. Well, so you didn't.

Bob Muyskens
You weren't in Austin, were you, Wade? No. So you and I were both invited to the screening, but Mother's Day made it a little bit complicated because Mother's Day is when the screening was. And it was like, well. And we had both Mandy's and my parents over.

It was a nice Mother's day. We had a good time. But I felt bad because I know you've been literally working on this for years. And so on Monday, late in the morning, like, I didn't sleep in or what, I texted you casually, and I was like, hey, man, I'm. I'm sure the screening went well.

Just like, congrats, you know, you did it. You finally have, like, some time for yourself for a minute. So I, you know, I hope that's good. Something like that. Something casual just to be like, hey, congrats.

And the core of it was like, I know the screening went well. I'm sure it was awesome. And it. And it sort of took a minute. And then at one point, Mark texted back and let me.

Let me pull it up so that I don't misquote anything here. I say what I said, and Marco's. Yeah, it didn't. It's great to have the weight off the shoulders for now. And I text back, oh, no, it didn't.

Like, oh, dude, crap. That exchange happened at, like, 930 in the morning. Yeah. Ten. Yeah, 10:00 a.m.

Wade Barnes
Is whenever you said, oh, no, it didn't. At 130, mark text back several hours later. It is like, oh, it did. That's a weird autocorrect.

Bob Muyskens
And, wait. Immediate text was like, oh, my God. I was trying to figure out what to say to that. I was sleeping. I woke up to my phone buzzing at whatever it was, 10:00 a.m.

Wade Barnes
And I read the exchange. I was like, sure, the screen went well. And I read, yeah, it didn't great to have the weight off the shoulders for now. I was like, oh, fuck. It really did.

Mark Fischbach
Because even though it was dark, it was fine. It wasn't that dark. The difference between, like, Tibet, the shadows were just a little, like, super dark, but you could still see most of everything. And all the cast crew loved it. It went great.

I was super happy to do that. And I was able to see it in full context, step away from it a bit and look at and be like, okay, I know what the polish that it needs is now, but at least it's so much easier to polish from a working, like, it's all there kind of deal than still try to get in there with a surgical knife. And it did go well, but I was helping, um, like, my editors who came into town move out of the Airbnb in the interim there. So it's like, I texted that, like, yeah, it did. Great to have that off my shoulders for now.

And then I was like, I gotta go work. How did it autocorrect? It didn't. That is a complete reversal of the intention of my message. I don't know.

Wade Barnes
But I woke up to the text, and I woke up and I was like, dude, I am too, like, out of it to respond, oh, no, what do I say? And then I woke up a couple hours later because my sleep schedules been whack lately because the animal, whatever, long story. Woke up later and I was, like, looking at it again. I was like, okay, how do I console, like, encourage thinking this through like. This several years of his life built up to this moment.

Yeah. And the casual dismissal of just. Yeah, it didn't. I was like, he was just so, like, blunt. Is he okay?

Like, do I offer to go down there? What do I do? And then you're like, oh, it did. That's a weird autocorrect. And I was like, my brain was trying to wrap around that just flip of, like, hours of, like, pondering what to say to you.

And it was like, oh, cool. Yeah, I have no idea. But it was so good because no one's seen any of this and still it's not ready. But the cast and crew, they were there and they were able to give me their thoughts. And really, all of them were super ecstatic to see it come together finally and to see the visual effects in there and all the.

Mark Fischbach
Even though I told them there's still a little bit left to go, they were like, I didn't notice anything even missing. Super cool. It's. It's really good. And the final version will be even better.

I just, I'm so, I'm so glad to be at this point. It's super. It's been a lot of work. Like, a lot of work. And I can go into the nitty gritty later.

I'll probably do a video on my channel talking about it in deeper. But, yeah, it's over. Well, I'm glad it went well. Cause I don't know how Bob felt, but I was like, dude, he just casually dismissed years of his life's work, just like, yeah, didn't go well, but, you know, I'm done with it. I was a little concerned about that.

Bob Muyskens
I wasn't sure I was ready for some long phone calls or. No, it's good. It went well. That's good. Except for my fuck ups in the video, but it's fine.

Mark Fischbach
I did feel bad that it got to Mother's Day because it was originally that Saturday, but then I got an email the day after. I was like, it's gonna be this day. Hey, you're gonna be on the list for the a 100. And I'm like, fuck Sunday. And then I didn't even go.

I didn't even go for the reason that we were. But I needed that extra day because. Of the whole, but you needed Saturday. So I didn't need Saturday. Imagine if you had it on Monday.

Wade Barnes
You could have had your ten bit and everything. Just keep pushing it. Back. You'll have everything if you just keep waiting. Well, the final, when it actually.

Mark Fischbach
When it goes to everyone, it'll. It'll have everything. Cause I won't be running it off of my laptop. That's. That's what that'll be.

Wade Barnes
Well, you say that, but I hope you have to go to every theater that wants to play it, and you're like, oh, God, here's what he want. You'd think I would have learned by this point. Now I'm. So many theaters left with tears. Just so disappoint.

This how they do movies. You have to fly to every theater and play it from your laptop. Yep, that's true. Movie magic man. I feel really bad for seeing Avatar twice.

James Cameron must have hated me. Yeah, the dune man. Mister Dune was really pissed off at me. I couldn't believe it. Is he.

Bob Muyskens
Is he, like, in my attic when I watch it at home or how does that work? Yeah, yeah. Yes. Well, he has to make that sound.

Mark Fischbach
Climb up there, Dennis. Villanovu. Ville. Villanova. Villanov.

Wade Barnes
Villany. I don't know. I gotta say, though, before I forget, I looked up Brad. Brad is a. He's got a lot of accolades.

I wish I wasn't bald for the first time in many years because I love his hair. The way I would recreate his hair do is I would get a balloon and rub it on my head and, like, he's got, like, this wild hair look, but, like, it works. I feel like this is kind of a backhanded compliment. I'm like, don't you dare. It's not meant to be.

I'm just saying the picture that came up is, like, him with, like, a dress shirt looking. And his hair is just, like, all over the place on top, but, like, it works. His Emmy pic is pretty badass, I'm not gonna lie. And I could never forget to do with my hair because I have weird hair whenever I had hair. That look works for him.

It wasn't meant to be backhanded. But it's, like, that messy. But, like. But it was. But you guys took it that way.

Brad, I know you're a big watcher of the show. It was just a compliment. There were no hands. Yeah, Brad. Brad only listens to good audio.

Mark Fischbach
I don't think he probably. No, that's an insult to our editors. Wait, I meant that as an insult. No, no. Hold on.

Wade Barnes
Wait, hold on. Not even content. You just insulted the editors. Listen, he's. He's got an Emmy.

We were in an Emmy losing work. Yeah, I don't think that's how they phrase that. Wait, I think it's. I think it's an enemy now. Emmy nominated work.

Mark Fischbach
No, we have a title of an episode that's literally the Emmy losing episode. You guys already did it. You can't take it back now. Only. Jesus.

Bob Muyskens
Oh, a spider just jumped out of my somewhere to. In front of me. Ah, somewhere. I think your sun. Where I was like, you have, like, a sun hat.

Like, literally, I was looking at my desk, and just out of nowhere was just like. And now there's a spider on my desk. Hey, bro. Hey. Wow, we have two guest episodes this year.

Wade Barnes
Spider. How are you doing? You want to be on the show? Hey, arachnophobia warning for those out there. Don't like spiders in case it kills.

Bob Muyskens
Bob, I'm. Yeah, hang on. Can you, like, trap it? Something running outside or throw out a window? I'm trying to trap it, but I don't want it to touch me.

Hey, mister Spo. Hey, no, don't go over there. Oh, you're a jumping. You're a jumping fellow. I think this episode of our podcast is gonna win us an Emmy.

Wade Barnes
Can you get an Emmy for an episode of a show like this? Oh, no. God. Hell no. Maybe.

Mark Fischbach
Oh, God. What happened? Oh, he jumped away. Son of a bitch. Well, if it's a little jumping spider, it's not gonna hurt you.

I. But I don't like it. I know that it's not gonna hurt me, but if it touches me, I'm gonna also. I spilled liquid on my death. Where the hell did you go?

Bob Muyskens
You saw. Oh, man. I didn't tell you guys two weeks ago. You know I've been doing everything from my MacBook, right? Two weeks ago, I spilled Red Bull on it.

Oh, and the keyboard. The whole right side of the keyboard is completely sticky. Like, every button, you press it and it comes up, like, a second later. I have not had time to fix it. It has been just the biggest nightmare.

Wade Barnes
Learned your lesson in drunk Minecraft? You always keep an extra keyboard around? I had to go buy an external one, but sometimes I don't have space to do it, so I have to live. It's. Oh, man, the last two weeks just been so crazy.

Bob Muyskens
Sounds like it's been fun. If you could relive the last two weeks all over again, would you do it? If I had to? Yeah, of course. Would you want to?

Mark Fischbach
Kinda. Let's see. Okay, this is the thing. I love the times when you're working on something that you put have to put. And you have all the momentum to put.

Put everything into it. I love being in that situation. It's not what I would call fun in the moment. Losing sleep is not fun, but it's satisfying to know that you're doing everything you can. You're putting every part.

It's that. Every part of it. Every. It's the flow state. It's the fart flow state.

God, man, that was about to be profound. And I ruined everything. I liked the way you took the direction you went with that. That was interesting. We went from emmy nominated speech to emmy losing right there.

Bob Muyskens
Every single fart of it. But there is something magical about that. That it is nice. You know, speaking of Abby, Brad, last week, he grabbed his ebb because they have it in the office. It's in the shelf outside.

Mark Fischbach
They grabbed it. I thought he just brought it to edit. Like, see, guys, I won. Yes, exactly. He brought it in at midnight because we were up there late, and he slams down on the desk, and he's like, all right, I can do this.

Yeah. Yeah. Come on, mister Emmy. Give me your juice. He told me a story about there was someone else who.

Who won an Oscar for sound editing. And every time, like, someone. He was working with someone, and they gave him a note, and he would turn to his. This is some. Not him, but someone else.

I'm not gonna name. I don't even remember the name. He would turn to his Emmy, and he'd go, like, I don't know. What do you think? Hmm?

No, I'm not gonna do that. I don't know who that was. This episode is brought to you by accounting plus. Here's a story that's 100% true, and it's about how accounting is a great choice of career. Here's the facts.

Mark Fischbach
You want to take care of that? I can't find it. It jumped away to my desk area. And I'm not saying my desk is messy, but I am saying that I lost the spider. Is it because your desk is messy?

Bob Muyskens
It might be. Okay. He's. You know what? He's fine.

He doesn't want to mess with me. It's fine. I'm fine. Until you're not. You know what?

We talked the whole. We did the whole episode of Small Talk anyway, so unless anyone else has important things to talk about, we can just end it here so that I can burn my office down. Oh, no. I got plenty of things to talk about to keep you from getting that spider out. Oh, okay.

What's going on with you, Wade? Is it good? Oh, I defer my time to Mark. Mark, talk some. Oh, I mean, I got tons to talk about.

Mark Fischbach
If you guys want me to, I'll talk about my kind of exploration into starting to do visual effects myself. That's something I've been doing. And also learning about the nightmare that is trying to render things. Yeah, it's really boring, but I'm. Is it rewarding?

Not that part yet, but it will be someday. Are you okay? He just really wants to end the episode. So we get rid of the spider, which is why I'm drawing it out. There's a little spider somewhere around here.

Bob Muyskens
I don't know if I mentioned that. Just a little jumping. They're very cute. Do you know those spiders are very, very cute. It's fine.

It's fine. If he could jumps on me and then bites me, I will be mad at you for saying that. He's cute. He's not one of those, like, really funny. Dancing, jumping spiders that people keep as pets.

He's just, like a little brown, jumpy bitch spider. Bob, I sympathize with you. Whether a spider is good or not, I do not want it in my office, in my house near me. It could be outside, like, on the porch is fine. You can have a web, like, in the tree in the front yard.

Wade Barnes
That's fine. As soon as it's in my house, it is my enemy. Mark was. Mark did. You're doing blender and whatnot, and there's very.

Bob Muyskens
What were you doing? Blend. Video effects. Yeah, a little bit of blender. Unreal.

Mark Fischbach
Starting to look into Houdini. Houdini is, like, the industry standard for certain types of simulations and a lot of final effects. It's a very, very. It's not casual software. Let's just say that it's not meant to be used.

Like, in a very I'll try this out kind of way. I mean, you could do that, obviously, but it's meant for huge, huge simulations. And, like, it's meant to be expanded. And it's. Licensing kind of costs an arm and a leg.

Wade Barnes
You should try penn and teller. It's a bit more modern. Even. David Copperfield. This is me sad, not laughing.

Bob Muyskens
That's what you looked like when you laughed, and it was just as quiet. No, no, no, I wasn't. All right. Whatever. I'm done.

Okay. Okay. Hey, Bob, can I have a sympathy point for agreeing with you? Uh, I already gave you. All right, you know what?

We'll go through the points now. I've actually kept track of points. I have to, or I'm gonna get the goddamn wheel again, aren't I?

That puts the fear of God into you. Like watching a wheel spin that, where a chunk of it says, bob's one man show, written by Mark and Wade. Yeah, I wrote down points and explanations that probably make sense and everything. Man, fate really knew what it was doing when it was that close to giving you the one man show. Anyway, I do want to say I had a topic for this episode, but I had a sort of a side rule, and I'm going to go ahead and apply that to this episode.

Anyway. It's sort of a tiebreaker situation, but we'll get to that if we need it. Oh, it means we tied, Mark. Hell, yeah. Wade, you gained points for living in the wrong house.

Other stuff. Ignoring Mark's sadness, David, question mark. Complimenting Brad's hair, and commiserating with me about the spider, which gives you a grand total of six points. For today's episode. Sounds like a lot for this.

This is small talk, Mark. You got two points for making a movie. Oh, you made a movie. It's worth two points on this podcast, Mark, so I hope it was worth it. You got a point for sounds.

You got a point for confusing texts. You got a point for ignoring your heritage and staying in Texas to work on your movie. You lost a point for insulting our editors, but you gained another point for Red Bull on the movie. And then you gained. The last point that you gained was wrote down blended Houdinis.

Oh. Cause of the blender. Yeah. No, sure. Which leaves you, Mark, with a grand total of six points.

Look at that. We do need the tiebreaker. So there was a secret tiebreaker rule. Who's taller? Who's taller?

Wade Barnes
Who's taller? And, Wade, it was basically in your hands to decide who wins this tiebreaker. And I got bad news for you. The rule was if Wade complains more than 3 seconds times about something being unfair towards him in the episode. Oh, God.

Yeah. I wasn't gonna win that. He loses in the event of a tie. What's that complain about? Uh, there were four times that I noted, and they were almost all within the first, like, 20 minutes of the episode where you were complaining about.

Bob Muyskens
We were. When we were talking about the constitution stuff and the wheel spinning. One of them may have been kind of jokingly, but there were three pretty serious complaints where you were, like, talking to the subreddit and only three or four. That's not bad for me. I'm sure the subreddit will go and audit this, and we'll have strong arguments and feel very vehemently that I am wrong.

And, uh, if you do so separate, I just want to warn you, I don't have to raid you. I can. I can just leave. I don't have to go over there. I can get my stuff from other parts of the Internet that are nice to me.

Wade Barnes
Should I throw another flag just to put Bob on the spot again? You gotta win it, though. Yeah. No, it has to succeed. I can't.

Bob Muyskens
They could not possibly say there's something in this episode that used to be flagged. And before anyone challenges that, congratulations to Mark, who wins in the event of a tie. And congratulations to wade on the loser speech you're about to give. Wait. Mark wins in the event of a tie?

Yeah. Because of the rule that I was just talking about and how you were complaining. I dislike that. I complain. I want to complain about this.

Wade Barnes
I don't like that rule. I think we should have better rules. I think, you know, I complained, and the deck was stacked against me to start. What? I think this qualifies as a complaint.

Exactly. So I can't even complain about the rule without violating the rule, which thereby makes the rule unfair. Well, it was a secret rule that only it took place if we tied, and all you had to do was not complain. Yeah, but that's who I am. You're like, wait, don't be you for a day, bitch.

Bob Muyskens
All right, I'm gonna count this as your loser speech. Got anything to add as the end of your loser speech? Uh. Ta da.

Mark, you made a movie, and now you won an episode of the world's favorite podcast. Congratulations. Give us a winter speech. Uh, happy to be. At this point, I'm going to be back into normal videos after this.

Mark Fischbach
Crazy to think about. I gonna be gearing up to leave, you know, here soon. Gonna take a little bit to visit some family, but I'm like, this week is just gonna. It's gonna be weird. I'm just gonna be back to recording.

I'm not going into waters on. Oh, God, why is my leg getting wet?

I pissed my pants just in case that I lost. Oh, that was so much water. How long has it been going? This pillow is so. Thank God we don't have, like, two more episodes to do today.

Bob Muyskens
It's almost like you're not supposed to hang out in a bathtub with pillows like that. I don't know when that happened. Ah, the washed man. Oh, all my pants. Oh, you can't see that, but it's all.

Wade Barnes
Yeah, if only your camera wasn't an eight bit. Oh, no. If this was in ten bit, we could see the wet here. If I stand, would you? Oh, yeah, right there.

That thigh. Look at that wet thigh. Thank you. Thank you. Anyway, that's my winner's speech, I guess.

Bob Muyskens
Good, good winner speech, I guess. You coming to Cincinnati? Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say we live where your family lives, so that's cool.

Wade Barnes
If you ever want to see him again, you'll come to Ohio. We got. We got to do the boat episode. We can get in the hot tub and do the boat episode. Yeah, we can watch the movie, too, if you want to see it.

Bob Muyskens

All of the worst emotions. I want pizza. That sounds good. Because your pants are wet. Makes you want pizza.
