Mark Fischbach
The bread is freshly baked daily. It's a Jersey Mike's thing. I never order the same thing twice. Maybe I'm weird. My wife certainly thinks I'm weird.

Mandy laughs at me. But I always want different things. And sometimes, you know, I'll order something and be like, oh, get something else next time. With Jersey Mike's, I can honestly say I don't think I've ever had one that I didn't like. I don't think I've ever had one that I wouldn't happily order again.

And I probably have, because, like I said, I don't really pay attention. All their sandwiches are perfectly customizable. If there's a topping that you have to have or you won't eat the, you know, it's not worth eating, put it on. They'll do that. They have everything you need for whatever you might do this summer.

Wade Barnes
Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to distractable. This episode, the gentle gents righteously reminisce face to face as miniscule Mark misperforms magic, mentions Motley, and his majestic mother, makes an appearance. Winnie'd wade resists peer pressure, is a lucky luddite, and gets stressed by socializing. Benevolent Bob loves the makeup department and vilifies veteran vegans. From nipple mics to fine dining.

Yes, it's time for the room where it happened. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. We're gathered here today to commemorate us being here once more. This is a. This is a meaningful room for us.

Bob Muyskens
Is that an intro? Yeah, why not? Oh, okay. Unless you want to be more formal than usual. But you're always fighting for a less formality.

That's true. Yeah. Should we? Less formal? Sure.

All right. Do I have to, like, take my shirt? What is less formal? Here?

Mark Fischbach
Rings down. Uh oh. Isn't that bad? That's not your wedding ring, is it? No, this is my aura health ring, right?

Bob Muyskens
Oh, yeah. Bob's still in that. It works so good. It works so perfectly. Just exactly as I envision.

Wade Barnes
We just have to not talk when we do it so they can cut out the horrible. Everyone shut up. Shut up. I think they should get the full scraping ceramic sound experience. I think that we just got to.

Bob Muyskens
Be that cameras picking it up. Right? They can see the contraption we're using. Yes, they can. Yes, they can see.

Wade Barnes
Yeah. There's ice in here. That's not clear. That's why this so loose work. So I want you all to know, they wanted a lazy Susan to turn this camera on.

Bob Muyskens
There is an Ottoman 2ft behind that camera on the ground that looks like it sits on wheels. That would have worked perfectly, but Mark instead got two plates, four small plates or saucers and some ice. No, I decided that's how we should bake it. What would that say? Can we just use it?

Mark Fischbach
I have this guy talking shit with his mic aimed at his nipples. That's where my mouth is. It's our big sound. But look at this guy. Look at this guy talking shit with his nipple mic.

Bob Muyskens
Dude, if I start lactating, I'll be the first to hear it. What if I got rid of that one? What if we put both of them on here, and then we got a reverse view? And then what's on me? It just sees the backyard.

That's the better camera. I'm just holding this now. I guess the editors are definitely gonna use 95% that camera and maybe this one. If there's a moment that's worth using. Where the person talking is actually on it.

Mark Fischbach
Yeah, whatever. When I hold this, I think of the scene in Star wars whenever he's like, three po. Shut down all the detention levels. He's, like, holding a little. Luke, are you okay?

Wade Barnes
This is too informal. Why is there one bean sprout on the. This is a travesty. This is your episode. You're the host.

Mark Fischbach
It's getting a little off center here. I'm feeling bad about the ice situation. Yeah. If only that could have been foreseen as being a terrible idea. I was going to say this.

The Ottoman is not a better solution. I get that you're throwing that out there than this. Yeah. How would the Ottoman be a better solution? How would the Ottoman better than what we have?

I'm not saying this is good. I'm saying they're both bad solutions. Spins. It has wheels. It looks.

Bob Muyskens
Looks like it has wheels. You could just turn, roll notoriously smoothly on a smooth surface with a. You could take this off. Let's do it. Take that off.

Wade Barnes
Take this off. No, I did the Ottoman. At this point. I like the system. Get the Ottoman.

Get the Ottoman. I'm not getting up. Get the Ottoman. This is the episode, so I'm not getting up. Get the Ottoman.

Bob Muyskens
I stood up once, hit the power button. I'm not doing it again.

The Ottoman. Are you actually gonna not get up and walk 4ft? Oh, a hundred percent. I'm that petty. It's your idea.

I know. This is not my episode. This is Mark's episode. It's Mark's episode. He wanted the ice plates.

He gets to hold your drinks. Jesus. Hold them. There's ceramics fingers.

How have this turned into such a disaster? We have a spill. It's your idea, Mike. None of that was my idea. You said take the tablecloth off.

Wade Barnes
You said so. Since winter. Use dumb as me with following directions was the idea. That was the idea. There were no directions.

Bob Muyskens
Also, I don't know for sure if the Ottoman has wheels. I just asked if it did. You said, it looks like it. It does look. Do you see something that looks wheel like underneath?

It looks wheel like Ottoman. Wade, Ottomans have legs. Then therefore it probably does have wheels. Ah, here we go. This was his idea.

What in the hell? This was your idea. Oh, my God. This was not. This is not the idea.

Wade Barnes
This was your idea. Welcome to your idea. And then you spin it when you want to go to the next person. Uh huh. Oh, God.

Mark Fischbach
Okay, good. So now that we're here, it's gonna. Make you look like you're 2ft. My face is barely in it. My head's in it.

Wade Barnes
All right. And then it turns to, wait. Okay, how's it going? The audio people are gonna be real mad. I got.

Mark Fischbach
This is a very visual gag. It's true. Yes. This is incredibly visual. Okay.

Bob Muyskens
You guys literally had two plates with melting ice and some sausage. Like, this is a lazy susan. It is technically. What a lazy. It's lazy Susan because it's two things with something that reduces friction between them so the top one can rotate.

I do want to add. My first suggestion was to find some, like, balls or something to put on the plate instead of ice. I'm sorry, how many balls you got? You suggested that after we had set the whole thing up, you were in the kitchen working. I don't know what you're doing.

Mark Fischbach
You were like, man, if you had some bouncy balls, that'd be great. After we were already, like, turning the. Turning it on the table, man. How hard is it to get rid of six pieces of ice? It's like eight pieces of ice, minimum.

Bob Muyskens
Why would we get rid of it? To put balls. How many balls do you have? Give us your bouncy balls that you have. I'm sorry.

I forgot to bring those over. Then why are you even suggesting it? I thought maybe you had some. This is a house. The average house.

Wade Barnes
How many bouncy balls are in the average house? There were once children in this house. Maybe they had bouncy balls that are preserved somewhere because they. That's not my camera sitting on that thing. There were never children in this house.

Bob Muyskens
We just killed a dog. How you doing, Chico? I think it's okay. I think it landed in a way that's totally. Oh, the camera also fell.

Yeah, it's fine. The. I'm gonna say the right angle flew off. Oh.

Come on. You just walked in at a very opportune moment. Yeah. Mark's doing a great job of taking great care of your house. Hi, mom.

Wade Barnes
I pulled the chicken for you. All right, chica. Did you like that? You like this episode, chica? What are you doing?

What are you guys doing? What are you doing? Nothing. Nothing. Okay, time to make dumpling.

Okay, sounds good. Time to make dumpling. That sounds good. We definitely worked up an appetite watching this travesty. That's the episode.

Mark Fischbach
All done. Bye. We haven't been in this room for a very long time. For those listening, this would have been before audio was a thing all silent up to that point. It's like going to the movies in the twenties.

Wade Barnes
Yeah. Videos. They call them lookies. We did grow up, too. This table used to seem so big when we were little.

Mark Fischbach
That is. Hey, I guess some sham folks in here. How are you? Who's that guy who lives in Vegas? You look like hard rock.

Bob Muyskens
Oh, but I'm holding my microphone. Leaning down closer to it. Perfect. So in today's episode, we are going to talk about, I don't know, whatever you guys want to talk about. I thought we were going to, like, reminisce about this.

Wade Barnes
You want to reminisce? We didn't really explain why we were in this room before last. Yeah, so that's just up your nose. Cam in this room, basically, was where we first started doing charity livestreams together and some, like, group recording sessions. If you've been following this channel and this podcast, this podcast.

It's not this channel, this podcast, and my channel for quite a long time, you'll know that we have been doing content for way too long, and the time has come for us to announce our retirement. That sucks. We've come a long way, and we think it's better to end on high note before the inevitable crash and burn that is coming. Jason, Kelsey, Matpat, us. I don't think I ever hit a high note.

Mark Fischbach
I'll go down the same road some. It's. We're like a cord, you know? One's on top, one's comfortably in the middle, one's carrying the low end. But you look at me, I have a very high voice.

I'm definitely not the bottom of this ensemble. They call it the root note. The bottom note is not always the root. Just because it's the lowest. You can have inversions of chords.

Bob Muyskens
What? The root canal. It's actually blocked by the ever given right now, so. Oh, that sucks. Ma, how long until food?

Wade Barnes
I don't believe you. Stretch this out for ten more minutes. This is the weirdest episode ever. Well, because we gotta eat. We're gonna eat on here.

Yeah, we're gonna eat on here. We're gonna like. Just like old times. Okay. People love it when we eat on the podcast.

Bob Muyskens
Oh, yeah. Have we done that? I've done it. Did you remember all those episodes where Mark was, like, lenses, needing almonds and salami and cheese? I gotta.

Wade Barnes
I gotta shout out, my boy, I'm right here. Tugham 4470. You know who you are, actually, when I said that, I guarantee you there's at least one or two people that went like, tug'em. Tugem 44 70. He's my man.

My latest hobby. Have I told you guys about it? Render farm. Oh, yeah. My main man, Tugham.

44 70. You're the real. You're the real real. You get me the best discounts on possibly good server hardware. I'm sure they're all.

I haven't even gotten it yet. I'm sure it's great. Where are they coming from? Shenzhen, China. Well, isn't that where all electronics come from?

I feel like that's going into possibly prejudiced territory, but keep going. Honestly, there's just, like, good manufacturing in Trenton is, like, every piece of technology. Where was the place where the. The glycine factory was medical grade glycine? Medical grade glycine.

Bob Muyskens
Did you hear about this? Of course not. It's unlocked. There was a huge trend where there. Was this nonstop talk about medical grade glycine, and there was this one.

What is glycine? I don't know. I don't know, and I don't know what. It's okay. I just know that medical grade glycine was very important.

Wade Barnes
It would be so great if we had a third angle. We could have. If I brought my camera. Can you go get that and be. Back in time before Bob will have to be gone?

Bob Muyskens
No. Take one of these cameras and take your microphone and document your journey while Mark and I do this episode here. Just drive home. While holding a camera and a microphone? Yeah, yeah.

Mark Fischbach
Or, you know, stick it. Stick it in a cup holders. There's, like, an a plot b plot to the podcast. That's actually not a bad idea. That's so funny.

Wade Barnes
Oh, my God. That's so funny. Or one of us could stay. Two of us could go so I don't have to hold the camera. No, it's awkward for the one who stays.

Bob Muyskens
Oh, yeah. I'm so sorry. I would hate to be the one that has the awkward phone. You drive a stick shift. How many hands you need to drive?

Sometimes 210. And two. Classic work phone. We have phones. We have amazing recording.

Wade Barnes
He's dumb. Oh, no, of course I'm dumb. No. Put your phone up there on its side. Recording with the lenses.

No. Facing me and Bob. Oof. Touch it. But we have to get him to do what you want.

Mark Fischbach
This is the current challenge. Wade, what mark would like is for your phone to be the third camera angle in this situation. He would like for you to lead it up against either maybe this giant bottle of water or those very lightweight salt and pepper containers and set it up so that it films using the good cameras. Maybe so the cameras are not on the table. Maybe flip.

Bob Muyskens
Is that good? No, vertical. Not vertical. No. Like, so the cameras aren't on the bottom.

Right. That's. That's a good idea. Yeah. Just so the perspective is as good as it can be.

Wade Barnes
All right, you've given him all the instructions you can. Let's see where he goes. All right, execute. Are we in there? Oh.

What is that for? I'm holding the phone from slipping. Wasn't slipping at all anyway. I know, but I gotta tilt it. Okay, I see.

He's got it. He's got it. He's thinking, you know what? All right, you're both in there, but barely. So don't lean to your left.

Bob Muyskens
Don't lean to your right. You have a. There's an ultra wide angle in that. All right, so go on. Welcome to distractible.

Wade Barnes
I am your host. Thank you so much for joining us. And we're 20 minutes in. Why you doing the intro? I'm having a great day today, and so are my boys bob and wade here.

Bob Muyskens
Hey. We are going to be talking about a wonderful topic. Getting older. We haven't been in this room together for about nine years. Nine.

Mark Fischbach
Is that true? Probably. It probably is. It doesn't sound like long enough, but also, that's a long time. Yeah, probably about nine or ten.

Wade Barnes
Yeah, nine years. It's at least nine. Probably. I moved away in 2013. I've visited here one time since then when Mark was here, but the three of us have not been here together in that long.

Bob Muyskens
I'm also really thirsty now. My water bottle is part of this contraption. Don't. Oh, God. Don't.

You monster. But I could trade it out for these dishes. This is very low profile, but equally supportive dishes. Definitely use just the clear water bottle to do the. No, no.

The salt and pepper really add an aesthetic. Okay. All right, we're good. Go out and do your episode. So I want everyone to understand that editors take the wide angle and then bulge it in the center and, like, contract.

Wade Barnes
Use barrel distortion to make it like we're all the same. Whatever you do, don't use the opposite of barrel to make it look, like, even more exaggerated. That is tiny in the center. Ah, you mean spoon distortion. Everyone knows the opposite of a barrel's spoon.

Mark Fischbach
It's the smallest container, just as a barrel is the largest container. There's a really infamous picture. Not infamous. There's a good picture of us right before I moved to LA. Yeah.

Wade Barnes
Where we're right there with our charity shirts. Yeah. And that was the first time that people saw me compared to you guys. The natural. My general assumption was that I am minuscule tiny and not that you both are giant humans.

Bob Muyskens
You are kind of minuscule tiny. I'm not. We're average height. Wade and I are barely average at best. I'm five eight.

Wade Barnes
Yes, yes, yes. But that was. That was the last time. No, that wasn't the last time we were here. I feel like when I came and visited and we did another thing here after I moved to LA.

I just can't remember what it was. We also did a couple things in. Your apartment, or Christmas one where we were hitting each other with bats or something. We were there for slaps, giving. Were you?

Bob Muyskens
I thought it was just Mark and. I. I left before any of the actual slaps started. That was way before I moved. That was before.

Well, you also had an apartment here for a while that I at least went to. I don't know if the three of us did. We recorded that rust series that many people seemed to enjoy back in the day. Wasn't that apartment that you lived in. Yeah, that's true.

That wasn't the three of us together. That was just you two. And then we did a stream. We did do. The three of us did a charity stream there one time.

Mark Fischbach
Because I remember you had, like, a white couch. Yeah. Something very red on the white couch at some point. I don't remember that. Maybe that's.

Maybe I was just afraid we were gonna do. I remember used to do fan mail, and at your apartment, we did a fan mail opening and you pulled out like a taxidermied animal. Yeah. And this person who said that was very offended that we were kind of, like, caught off guard. I was way more afraid of that than I should have been.

Wade Barnes
Like, because it was just like a pelvic. Well, when you're not expecting it, a surprise possum, or, you know, whatever it was, is kind of like. You know, you're like, oh, look at this drawing. Look at this, like, clay thing they made. Look at this possum.

Bob Muyskens
Like, it is kind of different. Yeah, that got out of hand super fast. Yeah. Like, unboxings on camera. And, like, especially doing it on a live stream.

Wade Barnes
Like, now, looking back, I would never in a million years do an unboxing. Live on stream without knowing exactly what's. What's happening. It's insane to even think about doing that nowadays. But back then, I was so stupid, and it was so new.

Like, why would I ever think that anything wrong could happen? Not that anything bad actually happened. That's not what it's about. Incredible potential for you to pull out something horrific or, you know, violating tms unbeknownst to your own self. Yes, yes, yes.

Although I feel like if someone sent, like, just a giant dildo, unless they're packaging it in a way that it doesn't look like it's going to be a giant dildo, if you get enough. It'Ll be so wide that it'll be confusing that it's so wide and so tall. Or if there's a sex doll and it's, like, so much packaged in it, it just looks. But it's a disguise. It's actually like a gamecube, but you.

Bob Muyskens
Open up the sex doll, there's a dildo inside. No, they got me. Yeah. Anyway, but that was back in the day, and now we're older. Hey, mom, are we old?

Mark, she is asking if she looks old to you. No, you don't look old to me.

Wade Barnes
That's true. She said, then we're not old compared to her. So you hear that? We're not old, right? I don't know if the microphones are picking her up.

No, they're not. The phone might be getting good at good room sound. It might as well rolling. It might be.

Bob Muyskens
I think I hit record. How long have you been doing this, man? It still stuns me because it's not actually a bit. People think that his technological ineptitude is a bit. It's actually not really not.

Mark Fischbach
It's completely earnest, too. You don't do it on purpose. You just don't give a. I have one way of doing things, and if that way breaks, I don't know what I'm doing. So my camcorder.

Bob Muyskens
I know where the power button is. I know where the record button is. Someone's like, you guys, at one point, you're like, hey, for Riverside, we need to change the frames. And I was like, oh. Oh, no.

Change the frames. You mean those settings? How do I get to those? That's such a fascinating way of living, because I really want to know how things work, especially how I use them. I have a natural curiosity for how something works.

Mark Fischbach
You have that, too. Mine is more from a place of, like, there's too much catastrophe in what we do. There have been so many times where I sat down at my computer and was like, let me turn on this computer and camera and microphone that I've used hundreds of times up to this point. And then I turn it on, and it's like, oh, the camera doesn't work. And that's the wrong.

The microphone settings are changing. It's like, well, I have to know how to do all this because things like windows just break shit for no reason. This is when having 30 different people in my friend group comes in handy, because I just reach out to each one of them individually to, one's free to help me solve it. But you never. You don't have any itch of like, well, I wish.

I wish I could be more self sufficient. So I should maybe learn how to just do these things so I know this for myself because I'm bad at remembering. I, like, don't remember. I learned something about a camera or a system, and I'll, if I don't use it enough, I forget it until it'll happen again, you know, a year later, the same thing will happen. And I'm like, I saw this before.

I know this. I have to look. Dude, my last car, I had to look up tutorials, like, two years in to figure out how to change the time. Okay, well, I wouldn't know how to do that either. Some of them are really easy.

Bob Muyskens
They got like, a time button and you just like, boop and boop, boop, boop. It's easy. My car, nothing was labeled time. It's because it had a digital screen. Okay.

Wade Barnes
I can kind of get where he's coming from. I'm not going to judge you for that. I do think that that's weird, given that you're in a very technological profession, but that's. Yeah, like, that's just, like, who you are. That's okay.

Bob Muyskens
I was at my peak of, like, comfort level whenever I was working as a clerk, and I was down in, like, the basement where they didn't have technology yet, and I was just going through the boxes and moving them alphabetically. At the movie theater, you could work at the box. You could. I still have paper tickets. Food is very.

I'm gonna give up the podcast, YouTube and twitch to unbox popcorn. Still do it. You have time to do both of those. Why do I want to become a popcorn unboxer? Because you just sounded like you.

Wade Barnes
You were the most content in your life. That's what you said. I said, I understand. Like, I understood things. You're the most at home.

Bob Muyskens
It made sense. You couldn't live at the movie theater. It was simple. Live. You could sleep in the projection booth, watch everyone.

I don't like people watching. People are weird. Like, every now and then I'll be like, hell, look at those guys are weird. But, like, then I'm bored. What if you watch people making out in the background?

Then I'm creepy. Exactly. That was a test you would never. Like, look at those teens making out. That's weird.

Wade Barnes
I'm weird. I'm weird. This episode is brought to you by Mint Mobile. Spring cleaning isn't just something you should do for your house or your apartment. It's a good time to take another look at your budget and specifically at how much you're paying for your phone plan.

Wade Barnes
What were we talking about technology, camera. So with, let's say, for example, this movie, right? One of the things is VFX. VFX for a complicated mystery visual found effects. Is that what it stands for?

Mark Fischbach
He's so proud of himself for that one, he realized that found rhymes with sound, and sound effects is also a thing. Oh, my God. There's so much joy in your just eyes. I don't ever make anyone laugh as much as I make my laugh. I have always contested that.

Wade Barnes
What's that old cartoon character that, like, the dog.

Mark Fischbach
The bad guy's dog? Yeah, they do, right? Yeah. That was amazing. You know, I'm so.

Wade Barnes
I wish I could bring myself as much joy as you did. I entertain myself a lot. All right, so visual found effects, which is what they are.

So there's. There's certain things that you can do. And CG is, like, computer graphics. A lot of it comes down to rendering, but there's. There's a whole world of, like, art there that I know I'll never fully get.

I won't be an expert at it, but at least the technology side is, like, okay, for the sake of rendering, I can render, and I can figure out how to do that. I can build a render farm. Right? I know how to build a computer because I've done it before. I've done it for you.

I look into it like, a server can't be that different. And so this is where my brain goes. It goes from one to the other. I have a basis of knowledge. This is a problem that I'm facing.

I think I can figure out, puzzle away to solution using my knowledge. You never have any, like, desire to do that. My knowledge is to socially outreach. Find someone else who can solve my problem. See, but I do that too.

Mark Fischbach
I rely a lot on the expertise of other people because, like, I know Mark knows a lot of shit about cameras and sound, stuff that I haven't learned yet, but I do that in an effort to, like, broaden what I know at least a little bit. I think I've also given up. So I've gone through and I've done sitting on the XLR I don't know how many times now, because I've gotten different. I just switch out xlrs. I've gotten, like, two or three computers since I got the first XLR.

Bob Muyskens
And I've gone through steps. People, like, figuring out how to set it up, how to get it sounding right, this and that. But, like, then I don't do it for a year and a half. All the knowledge is gone. I don't remember anything.

Wade Barnes
Nothing. I don't remember how to find the button to, like, the mic. Right now. It's in my head. Did it recently, but clicking the mic button to find the game, people are like, wade, you're quiet.

Bob Muyskens
And I was like, I have no idea how to fix that. Really? Yeah. You dead serious? Yeah.

Wade Barnes
Dead ass. Deadass. I had to have someone tell me where to go on the XLR to find the games. It's your memory. Good.

Bob Muyskens
No, it's terrible. It is actually terrible. Like, scarily terrible. If there's one thing I question about my health, it's not the physical health, it's my memory. It is just non existent.

Wade Barnes
Huh. Things go in one ear, and I'm like, okay, I really need to remember this. Five minutes later, I will have no idea what it was. That's kind of cool. Not cool.

Bob Muyskens
It's just like, why would I learn technology? Whenever it's like, I figure out how to do this thing on my camera, then I don't mess with it for two years, and someone's like, hey, can you do that? I'm like, nope, no clue. Walk me through it, I guess so. Why would I?

This point, my. My body is just like, my. Both are trying to learn that you're gonna forget it. I guess I relate to that. Like, I feel that very much.

Mark Fischbach
Especially about. For me, it was always school stuff, right? Like, I really struggle with learning. I was good back then. I don't know if I lectures, but I.

What I do is I sit through the lecture and I do my best, but then I have to go home and it's like, I go over my notes, I go over the. Is there a thing for you that, like, makes it stick any better? Probably if I took notes or something, if I wrote stuff down while I was going, because I was a person who never had to study, but if I wrote something down, it helped me retain it because, like, school came so naturally to me and I didn't have to. Like, I mean, clearly you're making it work, but, you know, you can do that in normal life, too, right? I could.

Wade Barnes
That's why the points. Oh, man, we're all in so much constitutional trouble right now. I don't know about you guys, but I haven't had to host one, so it's not up to me. Oh, God. The car kept track of the points I was tightening it in.

Bob Muyskens
It's almost like the bullshit. Is that something I can do to bullshit? But anyway, my point is, I do still use those strategies that I know where it's like if I really need to know something, I physically write it down somewhere and I go over that. Or I put like, I'm not saying you have to do that, but do you ever do that for stuff that's actually really important. The most I do now is I'll put things in my calendar on my phone.

That is the step I have taken because I got so many different streaming collabs that people invite me to do things that I'm just like, I triple booked myself one day and had no idea I did it until the day of. And then I went live and I got a text like, hey, you ready to join for that thing? And I was like, uh. And then another person was like, hey, where yet? And I was like, I felt so horrible that I was like, I'm going to start using the calendar to remind myself of when I've got things because like, I can't do that to people again.

Wade Barnes
You can't do that to people again. You miss one session, you're like, I can't betray them ever again like that. No, like socially, like, my social obligations are where all of my like stress and stuff go. It's like I want to more than once. But do you guys remember the last time I didn't show up to a recording and you were like calling me and then calling like rin I think, yeah.

Mark Fischbach
And I showed up like did an hour or 2 hours later something. Yeah. That looks at my head constantly. I feel awful about that. Really?

Bob Muyskens
Well, Mark's done it a couple times. And like, I show up late, which I do feel guilty about, but not in the same way of where it's like I just straight up didn't write that down or remember that we had that scheduled and you guys are just sitting there like, I'll be here. He's always late. See, that kind of stuff I'm a lot better about because I put it in my phone or else I just like, I either will remember those things or I'll put them in my phone as like a calendar thing. Don't feel any guilt.

Wade Barnes
I feel some guilt, but because I do it, I do it a lot, though. Where? And I feel, I feel bad because you guys will send me like one text and then I think you're just like, I must have got. So I think. And then, no, we'll sit there for like an hour and a half.

Bob Muyskens
Really? Yeah. Oh, now I feel bad. There's definitely been days where Bob and I've sat there for like an hour and a half. We're like, well, I guess we'll just.

Mark Fischbach
Case because we know, especially with the movie. Yeah. Was like, mark has four free hours this week, and this, this stretch is, like, three of them. So even if he is to show up late, like, we should make sure we can, you know, record. We have to record this show.

Wade Barnes
I can't wait for how open my schedule is about to be. I am so excited. People have no idea. People have no idea what it was like out there actually watching. Like, it's.

It was a shock that I kept up with the podcast as much as it was, like, that was the one thing that, like, kept up with everything. With how hard it was to, like, get you free time. Yeah, I can imagine. It was nuts. And I keep thinking, like, man, it didn't have to be this way, which is why I pursue these problem solves.

That's why I'm building. I'm not building a render farm out of, like, let's build it. It's a spite. It is. It's spite.

It's because I. Every single problem that I've run into that has taken my time. I never want to run into that problem again. That's why I pursue so many things and try to learn things. I feel this unbearable itch that's like, it didn't have to be that way.

I want it to never be that way again. So all the hard drive stuff, that's because I never wanted to deal with the problems again. The lens stuff is like, I never wanted to deal with that problem again. The Rennifer. I never want to deal with that problem again.

I never want to be caught with my pants down so that it compromises all my social status obligations. Social status, social obligation, social status, my social obligations, my, like, friendships, you know, the. The people that I want to spend time with. I wasn't home here. Home.

Bob Muyskens
I can't imagine what it was like for you. I know, for. I can't speak for Bob either, I suppose, but for me, at least, like, there were days where you were like, can't make it there. Let's do Thursday. And I was like, man, that six month dermatologist appointment was Thursday, but I know it's the only day mark has, so.

Guess that's getting moved. Like, there was a graduation I had to miss for a failure. Like, there were. There were some compromise where I was like, man, we gotta get an episode done. Mark's all I got.

Mark Fischbach
One day in the hospital, in the delivery room. Oh, can we wait? Can we do that right now? Real quick, Mandy, hold it in. I mean, him.

Bob Muyskens
Hold it. Hold. I just mean, like, I know Mark wouldn't just do that, so I know it was his schedule, but, like, we all had to, like, we all kind of felt it a little bit, so I can't imagine how severe it was for you if it, like, pushed up on us like that. Not that much, but that much. You know, there was times when I was like, man, I just haven't been home.

Wade Barnes
Like, I miss pets passing away here and, like. Like, my grandma passed away, but I was able to go for that. That was crazy. That was a nuts. We were.

Mark Fischbach
You were in Texas, and then the next day you were in Korea. Yeah. And then two days later, we were, like, recording and you were back in LA or something. It was stretch. Must have been unreal for you with, like, flying and all of the stuff happening.

Wade Barnes
And then I got my ear infection while I was over there, and I. Had to go to. Well, start with the eyes, too, because you were the hospital for your eyes right before that. Yeah, that was right before that. Because I got shingles.

Bob Muyskens
Yes. Yeah, the shingles. Yes. Like, man, they had the blood eyes. The shingles then.

Yeah, the ear. Oh, yeah, it was the shingles. And then the shingles was also spread to my eye, but it caught it early, and then I got blood in my eye, and then actually, it wasn't even the blood. Like, I can't even talk about why I was. People think it was like, oh, he got some fake blood in his eye.

Wade Barnes
That's not it. That's not it. But I can't talk about why because the thing's not out yet. Like, there's so many layers of. What do you mean?

Yeah, it is. But you're right, it's not. It's not. Yeah, exactly. You're misremembering because that's the joke that everyone.

Bob Muyskens
Oh, he got some fake blood in the eyes. Like, no, no, no. You don't understand. Yeah, you have no idea what went on in that time. But I can't talk about it.

Wade Barnes
So once it's out, there's gonna be so many stories that I'll be able to actually talk about. But it builds down to, like, this. This constant cavalcade of, like, I won't let this problem happen again. I had problem after problem. And that's the thing about the movie making process, is that it is a series of problems that you need to solve, solve life and what you're doing, like, all.

Even this. This is a comical way of problem solving. This. This camera right here is a comical problem solve. If you can make it in a funny way because you know you can fix it.

Like, that's a. That's a good way to do it. But with movies, the stakes are so high that the problems are so profoundly big that you have to have a huge paradigm shifts to be able to solve them. And if you can't solve them, then that's how bad movies get made. That's how shit gets put out there.

And that's why all the systems are in place that all the companies do it is because they're used to this expressly strict pipeline. Yeah, well, that's the thing. I've only ever seen your sets, so I don't have any real context for it. But, like, even in the way that you do stuff, which is, I think, probably a lot more flexible than how, like, a normal tv show is run or it still is. Like, we're on set today.

Mark Fischbach
Here's the schedule. Maybe the schedule moved around a little bit to accommodate something, but most of this was decided six months ago was like, these people will be here. This person who can only be here this day, you need to shoot this. This person needs to build this thing, which needs to be in this location. Like, there's all this shit where it's like, you can't.

It's not like you have buddies and a camera and you're making a YouTube video where you're like, we'll come back tomorrow. And what it's like, well, you were mostly this entire set. We need to make this shot. Work gets destroyed into splinters tomorrow. So better.

Is this right? That is legitimately true. You can't, like, ah, we'll just. We'll do it another time. Like, not that flexible.

Yeah, I have to imagine it's way worse. I didn't have production with, you know. You worked with, what? Hundreds. Dozens.

Hundreds of people. There was about 50 to 70 people on set any given day. And then, you know, the post production side is still huge with VFX house. Is that for the movie you're talking to? Yeah.

Bob Muyskens
Okay. Yeah. So other productions where you have, you know, big camera teams getting. You have people around the world. You have thousands of people touching.

Yeah. Like this, you know, depending on what's. Happening, the scale of, say, Game of Thrones with its multiple camera crews in different parts around the world, like, movies are constant, complex things. Organized chaos. Even with what I'm talking about with the render farm is a visual effects thing.

Wade Barnes
Even now you have, let's say there's a shot that needs a physical simulation. Something like happening. Some water splashing type deal. Exactly. You need fluid simulations to bake.

It takes on even good hardware, can take days. And then you look at the result and you go like, oh, we fucked up. Do it again. Days later you'll be done. Those are the kind of problems that will destroy a timeline and have.

And did file transfers of the 90 terabyte range take up to a day to transfer? Sometimes two days. I've had so many transfers that were 20 gigs or something where halfway in it dies and it's like, restart that. Yeah. A thing that takes 18 hours, 24 hours to actually finish.

Mark Fischbach
The odds of that going wrong are so, so bad. So high, actually. Yes. So my experience filming, I would say in space was the. Probably the one I can say I was most involved in.

Bob Muyskens
Because for heist we just had like the security guard role. Then we did there for like 1 hour day. And we mostly screwed around in the one air conditioned room, man. And I can't believe all of heist was filmed in 14 days. Can you believe that is all of heist?

I guess it doesn't feel. To me, it feels more intriguing. I think all the different endings. But I guess in space is just a different orientation of the same idea. But in space, for me, Wug wasn't filmed every day while we were there.

It's like we had to wait for specific sets. So I did the. I don't know what to call it. The hair universe or the whatever universe. And then we did like some wug with like one set.

And then it was kind of like we did different locations. It was the place where we did like the boiler room. And there was like the government building, whatever that was that we did some filming in. So, like, there were days I had nothing to do. And then we had to go back to the studio where I think you did most of your filming of the.

Mark Fischbach
Ship was all on set. Yeah, it was super consistent. It was. It was some like a couple kind of long days. But it was mostly super chill.

Bob Muyskens
Most of mine was there, but it was like, it was all in one day. We had like a ten hour wug day where I just wore the suit all day to do one. That's crazy. Yeah, I felt very important because, like, there were so many people just like assigned to keep me cool and alive. And you know why that was?

Wade Barnes
Because there were problems before of keeping people cool. And I was like, we cannot have this again. So it's like trying to get pipelines in to solve problems, but you won't get them from experiencing them. I get it. I mean, I wish I was a problem solver type.

Bob Muyskens
Like, I used to be more hands on. I installed, like, you know, ceiling fans, kitchen faucets. I've repaired cars and stuff in the past, but, like, I've kind of lost all that now. It's like, oh, I don't have to be the one to do it. And I think, well, I think that if we're gonna get real psychological, I don't want to bring the mood down too much, but my family has so many problems that I have to solve that whenever I get away from having to solve problems and, like, my personal life, I don't want anymore.

I'm good. It's like, people that want to play video games, like Elden Ring or dark souls. Like, man, I love the challenge. And I was like, dude, give me Diablo. Where I'm crushing everything without having to blink, because, like, I don't need a challenge.

Life's thrown enough at me. I just want easy street. Turn on invincibility mode. I will have so much fun. I could play for hours being invincible.

I don't need a challenge at all. Do not need it. Do not want it. This is non sequitur, but one of my favorite experiences of all time is still the NSP music video bit that we filmed in space, right? Yeah.

Mark Fischbach
Holy fucking shit. That was so fun. The finished product in. That is so good. It really is.

Bob Muyskens
I can't imagine you guys going out for, what, like, two minutes to film and then hours of costume change. That was part of the thing. Costumes were super fast. Were they? That's good.

Mark Fischbach
The makeup and costume people were ready for that. They had, like, planned that, and as we were doing that, we were like. Some people would roll it and change, then the people who are ready would roll out and do some stuff. They were. They were, like, ready.

The most extravagant one was the hair, the metal one, because there was a bunch of makeup that was still, like, maybe 20 minutes turnaround of, like, I guess put all these on real quick. Some makeup on it. Keep it simple, but make it look. And specifically the falling through space. Yeah.

Bits where we lay out the box. Oh, man. So I don't think wug ever did that, but I don't know if I could have laid down his wug. Wug took a little while to get. Into big, giant double bass.

You just. The aliens. I'm thinking of the makeup day where we had, like, the aliens in the agency, the USA, and, like, ethan and everyone that was doing the alien makeup, that took a long time to get their makeup on. So that's what I was referencing. I love space so much, and I'm so glad because, like, when space came out, people loved it.

Wade Barnes
And. But there were some people like, oh, I missed a random fun of heist. And I get that it's totally fine. That's not what space was, and it wasn't meant to be. But space was so complex.

It was supposed to be more complex. The ending of part one was supposed to have multiple encounters with the old man, each to the universe that it was part of. It was supposed to be a noir encounter with the old man. There was supposed to be a horror encounter with blood spattered all over the world. A hair encounter.

No, that was in part two. Oh, so there was supposed to be. When you do the divvying past in part one, it was supposed to get to it. The theme was that it's inevitable, but it was supposed to have some variety to it, but there just wasn't enough time to do it. There wasn't enough time to reset that place and get it in with all the other things that I wanted to get in there.

Mark Fischbach
It was surprisingly tough to do. The different universes. We did a lot of that where it was, like, the whole crew. We did several, like, hallway walks where we had to do all. Each universe in the hallway and the whole crew.

And it was like, you kind of are doing the same thing, but you have to do it in this universe, and there's different. Yeah. Danny, do you remember the day I did that pratfall? Yeah, yeah, he. He did it like, 18 or 20 times.

Wade Barnes
Like, a lot of times. Because getting. Going through the hallway was just he. Chip, oh, no, captain, I'm. I started getting a headache, and I felt so bad.

I was like, you got one more in your buddy? There's, uh, there's. But what I love about it is, like, longevity wise, there's a reason why people go back to space. And even back to this day, they go like, holy shit. Space is amazing because they.

They actually come back to it later. And as a story, it's a much more complete story than heist was. Heist had a lot more endings. Of course, technically speaking, there's. There's only one ending in space, but that cyclical nature leads to it being a longer term adventure.

And there's people that are still nowadays discovering all those little videos. I had forgotten about the NSP part. Oh, really? I literally had forgotten about it. I know that was we did that in basically less than one full day of shooting.

6 hours. Yeah. One half day. Yeah. It was crazy.

Mark Fischbach
Even when we were doing it, I was like, this is gonna look so funny. So good. It's so. Oh, my God. Did we do the light thing for that?

Where the light swung down the hall? Yes. That looked ridiculous. So good. Yes.

Wade Barnes
Some people haven't even seen that. Because you haven't seen it. Find it. I watched every reaction video I could find of vintage, and so many people get to the point in part one where, like, they can decide whether or not I forget what the decision is, but ultimately, they end up in Newark all so confused. Yeah.

Bob Muyskens
They're like, I guess we're wearing hats now. This is the hat universe. Damn. There were some people that didn't even realize in the beginning of it that when you die, you're supposed to keep going forward. Some people would reset and go back to the beginning instead of playing for.

Wade Barnes
Because they didn't realize it was changing. It was that subtle in some branches they weren't realizing, and so they were like, oh, I'm lost. But the whole thing about space is to be lost. That is kind of the theme, is that you lost infinity, and you, like, there are people that give up, and that's part of the whole scheme. That's what I intended, is, like, people get lost and give up and come back later and jump in a random place because it's a never ending infinite cycle.

I can't believe I lost the Emmy to that stupid VR game. We lost it, comrade.

It's probably good. I don't know. It beat you. Yeah, it's one an Emmy. So I.

Bob Muyskens
I mean, it beat us, comrade.

Mark Fischbach
What a bit. I hope that never goes. Hey, ma, where's the food? Oh, well, we're here. It's supposed to be the eating episode.

Bob Muyskens
Oh, you. We could get you deliver mommy at the table.

Wade Barnes
This episode is brought to you by 711. Have you ever had a mexican cannoli? What? I love. Yes.

Mark Fischbach
That's my. That's one of my favorite things. A delicious rolled fried treat that cannot be beat. It can be beat. Actually, though, like, I'm on your side.

I do love that, and I get those all the time. But I'm talking about seven eleven's three dollar big meal deal that you can get with seven rewards. Have you heard about this? Now that I'm on board with, that's where you get, like, the hot dog and the big gulp drink, right? Big meal deals, a big bite, hot dog and a large big gulp drink.

Mark Fischbach
Yes. Right here.

Bob Muyskens
Maybe it was supposed to have, like, another layer of ball bearings or something that I'm really. Yeah. Oh, my God. Have you had a chicken dumpling? I have before, yeah.

It's been a long time. Ten years. I've had marks. Maybe that's what it was. Maybe I had yours, which is just her recipe.

I mean, it's been ten years since I've had them. I can't remember who. Which one you made them. Maybe you made them in LA once. Yeah, I probably have.

Thank you. It's basically just chicken and soup I. Was expecting you to just eat out of. All right. Could you, uh, actually know.

Wade Barnes
I'll put it right here. Here. You want mostly broth, chicken, whatever. Whatever you give me, I will.

If you don't like it, my mom will hate you forever. I love it. How deep are we into this? Are we wrapping up, like, actually, indeed. Or we eating the whole thing on cuz I'm holding a microphone.

Bob Muyskens
More enjoyable. And I'm not, you know, you put it. I'm gonna drip. I don't drip on it. I'm a drippy eater.

Wade Barnes
Sometimes it's under your chin. I don't think you'll ever buy. Attach it to your fork.

Mark Fischbach
Hey, moment of the truth. Yeah. There's a big pot blocking the thing. That's okay.

Wade Barnes
I'll just put on the stove.

All right. You're right.

Bob Muyskens
No, that's good. Cheers. Cheers. Hey, cheers.

Mark Fischbach
Wait. I like your expression when I like food. I like food. I got a tear in my eye. I was so hungry.

Bob Muyskens
I'm not eating yet today. This is my first meal. Really? Oh, no. We were sitting here.

I was like, man, that food. I hope we could eat. So. I'm so hungry. Bob is really liking it.

I think it's very hot, and I keep burning my mouth, but I don't care. Okay. I mean, I'll eat. Thank you. Well, ten points to.

You.

Wade Barnes
Have to try the kimchi if you don't want. No, the fishy is good. That's so much more like. That's right. Usually kimchi just kind of tastes like gochujang paste.

Kimchi is like. It's a very strong taste, and that's something that Koreans like, is, like, powerful flavors. They're strong. Yeah. But you don't have to eat all this compared.

No. What brand kimchi is this? Is it spicy? You like it? It's good.

Anyway, so everyone listening to distract, but we're just, like, back at my mom's house. This is where we all started, pretty much. So if you enjoy the videos that we make together in the podcast, you know, this is where it all began. After the contentious episode in which Bob and I both got canceled. Depending on what time you looked at the subreddit, we decided to bring it back down to earth and start from scratch.

You want. We used to always be nice to each other here. We always. Yeah, we were always nice to each other. Is that true?

Bob Muyskens
I don't remember. You guys can tell me anything. I probably literally. So, stuff we did here is not the era of shut up, Wade. Yeah, that is probably our core jokes.

Well, I thought you meant physically in this house. And I don't know if we were mean to each other in this house. Yes, we were. We were slapping the shit out of each other. Well, yeah, but that was for charity.

No, that wasn't. That was because we were fundraising for camera equipment. Was that what slaps giving us? Because the idea was that we felt bad raising money for us. So slap each other, because it was not okay that we did that.

Wade Barnes
Hopefully, all of you out there can enjoy these unorthodox episodes of distractible. This is what it's gonna be forever now. Editors are gonna have a ball with this one. This is better than when you made it. Sorry, Mark.

That's okay. She's good at it. Well, I still want to do. And I really want to do this, where we go to Korea. I take you guys to Korea, and we take you to, like, north or south.

That's actually offensive. Is it? Yes. I thought it was hilarious. So did Bob.

Bob Muyskens
He laughed. That's good for you. Don't you laugh. I wasn't laughing at your joke. I was laughing.

Thank you. Hello. How's it going? We're recording right now, just so you know. Come on in.

No, the water's fine. Yeah, you're fine. Look at him. Get him. Zoom in.

Wade Barnes
As we finish up this meal and we. The sun sets on this podcast, and our era of making content on the Internet comes to a close. Thank you so much for being a part of this experience. I think there's no way to end this better than here, where it began. Holy crap.

Mark Fischbach
I have spilled so much on my shirt. See, that's what I was worried about, man. So, any last words? Do we. What is the deal with this?

Are we, like, deleting our channels? Or. How serious is this? Because loser deletes our channel. Yeah.

Good feeling about this. One last words I just said. Hmm.

Wade Barnes
For those only listening, Wade made a peace sign, which means fade me out. Can we have little lixien on the show? Or is that a your channel exclusive type deal? No, it goes wherever. But you might 50 50 chance of getting one key, though.

That's the danger. Well, those are our last words. We done. From us to you, it's been a. Been a real trip.

An honor and a privilege.

Bob Muyskens
We got merch. Get the last merch we'll ever have. Distractiblestore.com. it's ending, quote unquote. We're moving into the movie theater business.

What do we call it? Quoco de chow? I thought you meant the theater. Oh. Imagine a brazilian steakhouse movie theater, where churrasco, like observers are coming through, carving people meet in the theater.

Mark Fischbach
You're laying face down in the massage table. Churrasco's on bungee? No, on rail systems. Laying sideways with the swords of meat hanging underneath you. They slice it off and stick it into your mouth through the massage table face hole.

Bob Muyskens
What if it's like the old, like when you go to a place, there's an intermission in the movie where you eat? Cause if you have everyone eat at the beginning, the theater's gonna smell awful after 2 hours. You know, in Cincinnati where they have the train station where they did the movie theater for imax stuff. You know how it was inclined because the screen was projected up in a dome. Yeah.

Wade Barnes
Why don't movie theaters do that where they're in ring, you're reclined, and you're watching it up so no one has a bad view. Yeah, everyone has good seats. Let's just build one. An Omnimax theater? No, a better movie theater.

Mark Fischbach
Let's design an omni. Regular theater. Well, brazilian steakhouse or vegan options, if you're into that. No. I mean, we could, but I'm not very not exclusive.

Bob Muyskens
If you're gonna eat a person, would you eat a vegan? I'm not going to eat a person. That was all said. We had a whole episode about this. I'm not gonna do it.

Wade Barnes
Yes. Why did we do that? Because I have. You guys have a weird opinion about it. They just invented the best marketing scheme ever.

Mark Fischbach
Grass fed beef. Big deal. Even more exclusive. Vegan beef. No, beef bad.

Wade Barnes
No, I don't want vegan. All right, when we build this ultimate movie theater, you guys are gonna see that it's the greatest thing that ever existed. And when there's a brazilian steakhouse and an unlimited salad bar, what you really. Want to do is get some of the kimchi in the broth and sort of mix and let the spices mix into the broth. That's banger.

Now you're making a kimchi jiggy. Kimchi stew is very good. There is a spying stew in Korea. It sounds kind of icky because you're like, oh, spine. It's the most delicious stew you've ever had in your life.

Bob Muyskens
Is it bone broth? It's basically. Yeah, it's been. It's. It's basically a spine that's been stewed forever.

Wade Barnes
Like, the same they do with good ramen and stuff like that. But it's got kimchi in it. Got rice cake. You can have ramen in it. You can, like, you eat the meat off of the spine.

It's so good. It's so good of what animal? Your mom. You can only do it once. Cause you only got one.

No, they take the piece of tail that they removed when you had your. Butthole soda, they could have it. So who wins the final episode? Editors, make that pot come closer. Okay.

Bob Muyskens
That's the editor's voice. Do you think that Elon's gonna go to Mars someday? Elon and the Zuck go to Mars base three and have an MMA fight in. .3 earthquakes. Oh, yeah.

Wade Barnes
What happened to the MMA fight? Someone stubbed the towers. Didn't Elon back? Someone stumped it, too. I'm pretty sure Zuckerberg was ready because he's still training every day.

He was so ready. To be fair, I wouldn't want to. MMA fight anyone either. But I would also never in my entire life offer to do that, knowing how I feel about fighting. But what if you had never done MMA a day in your life, and you were actually quite out of shape?

Would you then volunteer to do an MMA fight? My life, anybody's life, really? Would I right now want to go to MMA? No. Against Mark Zuckerberg?

Bob Muyskens
No. Never. I really don't like billionaires. I want to be beat up by. One fighting another species like that lizard reflexes would just have me completely outmatched.

Wade Barnes
As much as I have grandiose opinions about the world around me, if I ever get to the point where I think I'm important enough to start, that I need to change the world. Like, I have to. Like, I have this compulsion, like I'm destined to. If I forever start talking like that, you'd stop me, right? We could try.

Mark Fischbach
Yeah, I think I would. That's good. That's good. So if, like, you wanted to, let's say, I don't know, buy a movie theater, we should step in and be like, dude. Anyway, thank you so much for listening to this.

Wade Barnes
If it wasn't clear, this is definitely the last episode. We were not joking. I don't care, man. I got food. You guys can say whatever you want.

Mark Fischbach
Oh, yeah. Who's the final Victor? Loser has to delete their channel. And all channels. And all other channels.

Damn. Uh, wait. How evil are you gonna be if you start your villain arc? Pretty evil. I'm not gonna have an arc.

Bob Muyskens
There's no more episodes. It would be really evil if you upended our perfect ending. I couldn't evilly upended. If you want and you serp it. For your own purposes.

Yeah. I could be distractable. You cool with that? I guess. You gotta be really evil, though, man.

Mark Fischbach
Part of your evils plot be that I don't have to delete my channel. I could. That would be thwart Mark's thing right off the bat, so maybe that would. Really put a finger in his. I could, like, hide the remote and stuff.

Bob Muyskens
Sure. All right. You wouldn't. Oh, good. Cool.

I was gonna do a whole thing if I didn't, but I think we're good now. You know what? So much have to leave their channel. But, uh, nose goes, you know, it's really evils. I coined Bob in on that a long time ago that I was gonna be doing a nose goes bit.

So he and I were both prepared. All right, that's your winner speech, Bob. I was really sad to see it all come to an end this way. But in a way, it's also really good. We're back.

Mark Fischbach
We're full circle. Back where we started eating chicken and dumplings like old times. More like the one old time. Anyway, just wait for the next skit video on not Mark Shanty's deleting it called the Rise of Slenderman. We're gonna smear peanut butter all over somebody's face and they're gonna be the king of the somethings.

We'll work it out later. Anyway, editors that this blow it all up so we're done.

Wade Barnes
Anyway, editors that this blow it all up so we're done.
