Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to distractable. This episode, wild eyed Wade leads proceedings and tries to reconstruct the constitution. Murderous mark plays in deep water, proposes that every leader fears the ides of march and warns of the dangers of drugs. Beguiling Bob terminates tantalising tech issues and wants to opt out of life ending high office. From plutocratic politics to ripped crotches.

Yes, it's time for worldwide supremacy. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of distractible. I'm your host, Wade.

Wade
Welcome to the show where one of us hosts. The two compete for points that the winner may host the next episode. And the last one. Well, I won. Well, I'm here, and I'm joined, as always, by my competitors, Ark and Bob.

Hey, guys. Hello. I come bearing a message. Steve. Don't.

You heard it here first. Does anyone name Steve anymore? Is that a real name? Why wouldn't it be a real name? I think I know at least three Steve's.

Mark
I know a Steve. I'm related to one anyway. How you guys doing? Good. Yeah, pretty good.

Got a little headache cooking, but, you know, that's just life these days. How do you prefer your headaches? Medium rare? Well done. Well done.

I guess if I have to pick. It's been migraine season for me, which I don't really get them a whole lot anymore. I used to get them a lot, but I've had a couple try to take over this year. But thankfully I've had et cetera nearby. Not sponsored.

Wade
Just the only medicine I've found so far that actually helps me. I don't know why. I don't know if it's the caffeine or what it is in there, but that's what I do for migraines. And thankfully I don't get migraines as bad as everyone else does. Cause headaches are terrible.

Migraines are next level terrible. Wait, are we in small talk already? I do have a car update. What's going on with the car? Everyone will be happy to know I took those spacers off my wheels, so my track width is way narrower now, and fitment on my wheel flares is, like, perfect.

Mark
You were all right. People who were saying the wheels were too wide, you were right. It didn't need the spacers. I forgot the spec that I ordered the wheels in. It looks really good now.

Thank you. You might as well have been speaking a foreign language to me, but that sounds good. I'm guessing tires were, and now tires are basically, car spacer point. My small talk is we are entering the Asian into the decline of the Internet. Can you say that again?

Wade
Cause I thought you said we're entering the asian. I also thought you said entering the asian for a second age into the. Decline of the Internet. No, the dead web is totally a thing, and it's wild. It's a fascinating thing that you can read up more and more about it.

Bob
Like, it actually was kind of proposed as a possibility like ten years ago or something like that, or maybe even longer. But we're now seeing it happen in real time. I see it happening in real time. The thing is, I can notice it. Yeah.

Wade
My YouTube views. It's about Wade. That's right. Anyway, the Internet is becoming so flooded with AI generated nonsense, and also more and more sophisticated bots are simply talking to each other. Let's say Reddit, for example.

Bob
You never knew who anyone was. But now people are starting to notice that comments that are replying to each other are not making any sense. They're not just making any sense. Like, they're talking in circles, like they're arguing back and forth. They are literally not making sense.

And they're responding to each other and responding to posts and they're talking to each other. Legitimate quote, unquote, users on sites are being slowly filled with bots and, like, random people talking. And it's just becoming a huge cesspool of nothingness, of absolute nothingness. It's, it's circuit. It's circling the drain.

And it's such a fascinating thing to witness. I think the most interesting thing I've seen is there are, this is not exclusive to Facebook, but it happens on Facebook a lot. There are bot pages on Facebook where it just generates AI images and then posts it and then gets hundreds or sometimes thousands of comments. There's kind of a genre of these that started with, like, AI generated images of, like, Jesus that were relatively, like, accurate. And all the bots are just like, yeah, praise Jesus.

Mark
Amen, whatever. All positive comments. And that feeds back into the bot that's making it. But the, the bot making the images gets, is getting increasingly, like, deranged the more positive feedback it gets. And now it's like a thing where it's like a half fish, half Jesus man carrying, but also being carried by a half baby, half fish man, completely unhinged.

It just has, like, christian ish themes kind of in it, but it's nonsense. And the comments are all still just other bots that are like, praise Jesus. Amen. Oh, yeah. And like, it's just getting to it.

That's like. It's a little concerning, but it's weird. Did you see the shrimp Jesus one? Did you see shrimp Jesus? Oh, yeah.

No, I did see shrimp Jesus. Yeah. It was like flying Jesus with shrimp arms and, like, shrimp details. It was super strange. It's getting fucking weird out there.

Wade
Well, there is a true fire way of knowing if someone's, like, in heaven or not when they die. If they die and they're not in heaven, they have xs for eyes. If they are in heaven, they get crosses. What if they died and their head is, like, tilted to the side? You can't tell if it's a cross or x.

Bob
Yeah. Is it always oriented as if they were standing straight up and down so that you can tell if it's. Well, the X's would be like this. The crosses would be like this. You just have to, like, tilt their head up.

I don't want to touch their dead head. What if someone knew they were about to die and they just drew crosses on their eyes preemptively right before they die? I'm gone.

Wade
What is happening? This is like some Samara shit. It's getting dark. Mark turned out his fancy lighting setup. It has been very dark over there.

Are you an eight bit. Deduct a point from yourself. All right, you know, I'll do that. In good news about the Internet, though, they installed that quote unquote portal where they have, like, a webcam feed between cities. In the perfect encapsulation of the Internet, onlyfans model flash's Dublin, New York portal leading to temporary shutdown.

Bob
Now that, that's what the Internet should have been made for. That reminds me of all the people on Twitter with pussy and bio. Never, never say that again. My replies to my tweets were up so much. For a while, I was like, dude, there are lots of people care about my tweets.

Wade
And I was like, huh. They're all hidden. And I would reveal, and it's like, ha ha. Wade still bald. And then, like, the rest of them are like, pussy in bio.

I was like, you know, I guess, thanks for the interaction. Then. The AI on Reddit is out of control. There was a poll recently on Reddit that, uh, Mark should have got won a challenge, and, like, 1500 bots voted in that poll or something. Nuts.

And only 400 real people voted. It was kind of crazy. Someone's cheating. Someone's rigging the system. Mark's got, like, lenses and bio bots on Reddit.

I'm gonna give myself a point for that. All right, well, car update, Mark, you got anything going on other than, like, I don't know, AI, what the. What the fuck? You got anything happening with you, the human, Mark, or why does smart dog. Happen to be about us?

I was just, like. I was just curious with your life, man. You've been free from your movie for so long now there's, like, three episodes since you've been free. I was talking about the whole thing. From my perspective, I think it counts.

Bob
Wait, did you forget that that was me bringing that up about the decline of the Internet? Or, you know, now he's trying to take credit for my thing I brought up, and now he's turning into a dog. Bob brought up car. You brought up Internet dying. I was just curious how you as a person are, man.

Wade
I know you've been nothing but technology and movie for, like, so long, but just how are you? I think I am doing well. That answer is very human. You're getting a definitely human point, Mark. I feel like I'm just gonna throw this out there.

Mark
This might be tossing the episode for me. I feel like Mark should get points every time he turns the faucet on in the tub. Well, only, like, in this episode, what. Constitutes as an on and off event? You going, ugh.

Wade
And, like, not realizing that you're wet until you're wet. I feel like we have to be able to hear it. Like, if you turn it so that it just dribble. Dribbles. It has to be, like, where it's, like, we can hear the water run.

Mark
Cause last time you did it, that happened. Your water can't dribble. Dribble. It pours. Uh huh.

I did. I tossed that one out there. That's on me. I think if he accidentally drowns himself in the tub, he should get some points. But, like, if I see him over there shifting, like, trying to intentionally set it off, I probably won't count it.

Oh, no. I. I feel like if he turns it on on purpose, uh, that's fine, but it just. We have to be able to hear the water. So you just want Mark to win if he gets really wet?

Yeah, I'm just trying to tempt him to turn his own tub on. On himself. And I'm doing it early in the episode in hopes that he'll have to sit there in the dampness for a long time, being really uncomfortable. Huh. That's fair.

Bob
Is that fair? Okay. All how much clothes you have. I mean, shorts and underwear and shirt and. Yeah, we already changed once.

Wade
I'm asking, do you have like more backup clothes? You just be wet all day. I have more clothes than this. I do. Technically, yes, Mark.

Mark
We did a whole episode about how you don't know how to buy pants. So Amy bought me two fresh pairs of pants and they're. They have. I've literally been wearing nothing but them. You've been wearing nothing but two pairs of pants a whole trip?

Bob
Yeah. He shows up to the office, no shoes, no shirt, just pants and is like, alright, Brad, let's do this. Mixin we told. We talked about this. My other pets all are ripped.

Yeah, every one of them except these two new ones. So they're the only ones I wear cuz everything else has giant holes in them. I like to imagine you going to. I know your houses probably have like laundry stuff that while you're. That you're in, but I imagine you go into a laundromat with nothing but ripped and bloody looking clothes and everyone just looking over at you while you're like do do do wearing nothing but pants while you stuff bloody looking clothing into the washing machine.

I mean, that's not incorrect, but I'm not at a laundromat, so yeah, technically. All right, I'll give Bob a point for my laundromat dreams. All right. Okay. It's pretty.

Wade
Talking about the water and the wet, which got me thinking about the clothes. He led to this discussion. Yeah, I manifested this and I agree. That you get points if you get wet. So like, you know, you got a way out, man.

Bob
People are angry about the tick tock banning thing. Yeah, well, it's a good thing Soulja boy is gonna buy it, so we don't worry about it. Yeah, he's gonna save it. Soulja talk. Tick boy.

Mark
Tick boy.

Yeah, definitely tick boy. That's the one. Did you want tick boy? Yeah, doing boy talk. Oh, I love boy talk.

Wade
Where we sit around shirtless and beat each other with pillows while we laugh about our crushes. That's guy talk. Oh. Anything else you guys want to small talk before I move on to our episode? Because I got a.

I got a pretty easy one today. All right, let's do it. We're going to build a world government together. That's you. What I figured we did a constitution.

Like Mark and I were talking a little bit earlier. We made the constitution for us. The world as a whole is becoming more and more complex. You know, countries and stuff, the globalization, all that fun jazz you learn about and school. And eventually what seems to be inevitable is a world government.

I just figured, like, the world kind of sucks in a lot of ways. It's amazing in a lot of ways, but also kind of sucks in a lot of ways right now. So we're just gonna build a world government and fix it for everyone. I was gonna do something easy like cure world hunger or whatever, but I feel like that's already happened, so I figured, why not? I feel like we have an excellent model for this.

Mark
I don't know if there's a lot of legwork to do on this one. Yeah, we base it off the constitution we established for the podcast. And have you heard of a video game called helldivers two? Helldivers two, I've heard of it. There's a lot of freedom and people like freedom, and I feel like we could basically just look at that game and copy that, and that would be ideal.

Wade
Okay, so they've got one planet called Super Earth. It's super Earth. So clearly better than our earth. How does the government. Who's in charge of the government?

Mark
Yeah, I don't actually know the lore of the game. I assume some guys are in charge of the government. Yeah, I don't know that either. Well, it's a starting point. This is unrelated to the government thing.

This is off topic, but it's related to hell divers, Mark. Okay. Have you seen on the subreddit someone did a cut of you? You perfectly did the, um. Sweet liberty.

Yeah, they just put your voice over the. The actual video. It matches perfectly like you did it. I am that good. I am just that good.

You should be some kind of voiceover artist. Ah, well, you know, all the. You have the face for voice acting, my dude.

Wade
Like when people used to say in the old days, you got a face for radio. Yeah, I know. I got the insult. I understood it. I modernized it for you.

Bob
Uh huh. Okay, are we making this government or what? Yes. Anyway, super Earth. Boom.

Mark
Done. Nailed it. Bob wants hell divers, but what's. What does that even mean? We'd have to create our own enemies to beat, but then we have to go to other planets to be able to create them.

Bob
And bugs gotta be fueled for oil. And, uh, man, so much. I think that's just too nebulous. I don't think we're defining anything because how does that help the people on the super Earth? Well, so are we inventing this ourselves, or are we just stealing from pop culture?

Wade
Cuz think we could invent it ourselves? We can do that. You know, I was thinking, like, we could seriously tackle it we could go complete goofy. I want to tackle it. I want to tackle it.

Bob
We're qualified to do this. People believe in what we say. People believe in what we say. I'm not arguing with you that they don't. I just am surprised you think that they should.

They should to me, maybe not you two. He won a poll on Reddit. He is very confident in our audience right now. He's on an all time high confidence. Rating, Emmy losing pundits.

Mark
Mark E. Plier wants you to follow his lead. World governments. You do realize you were part of that same show. You also are Emmy losing people, Bob.

Wade
We were nominated for an Emmy, dude. Whoo. Yeah. No, I'm. I'm Emmy nominated, but you lost it, Mark.

Bob
Yeah, that's true. You're right about that. Yeah. Okay. That's fair.

Wade
At least one person said Bert and Wug were their favorite characters. Yeah, there was definitely one of those. That's good. That's good. So we have a record of checks and balances, and I feel like that's a core pillar of a good world government.

Bob
It's got to have checks. It's got to have balances. You know what that means? I haven't balanced a checkbook in a very long time, but figure I can look up a tutorial video. We'll be right back on there.

Wade
How do you feel about parties? Should there be parties? No. Parties. Don't really like them.

Bob
I don't like going to parties. Yeah, same. Too much responsibility. Don't want to bring a present. Also, like, two party systems kind of balls.

Wade
Okay, so no parties. Bob, how do you feel about parties? I mean, I enjoy going to house parties, uh, but I'm. I guess I'm in on the no political parties. I feel like that probably because of my lack of foresight.

Mark
It creates issues I'm unaware of, but it deals with an issue I am aware of that is troublesome. So I'll stick with that. Okay. Here's a serious question, though. If there are no political parties, how do candidates for anything get nominated?

Bob
Do they just straight from the people? Are there no organizations at all available to rally around a certain person? Because what qualifies a political party? Right. Idealistically, I want to say that people should just run on their ideas.

Mark
There should be a platform that exists where everyone gets a fair shot to talk about whatever they want to focus on, whatever their ideas. There should be a fair chance for people to ask them pointed questions about, well, what do you think about this? What do you think about that? And so they get a chance to talk about where they stand on things, and then everyone should vote for people whose beliefs they believe should be in charge of things. The practical side of my brain knows that that's not how any of this works.

And you're right there. Can we kind of need nominating bodies because you can't have 30 people all running for president, and because everyone will pick their favorite and it'll be like a weird high school popularity challenge. If we do this, we gotta do the thing that we've always talked about, or I have always talked about random, random people. Cause you gotta remember it's a bunch of countries, right? Can't trust them to pick their own.

Bob
It's gotta be random. A random smattering. You get called up for world jury duty, you gotta go abandon your family, abandon your people, abandon your country. Go to the world government headquarters and serve the people. Okay, so there has to be almost like a jury duty, right?

Wade
There have to be like a panel of people, maybe also randomly chosen, who sift through the candidates to limit it down. Because there's definitely people that you don't want running a country. No, no, no. They're already running countries. I agree.

Which is why we don't want them running. Who's going to sift through? If you give anyone an option to sift through, it's going to be abused. It has to be fully random. Because if.

Bob
Who's going to sift? Who watches the watchman? Who watches the watchman? So, wait, but who? What are you saying?

Mark
Are you saying that, like, the random selection is amongst all world leaders, you randomly pick from them? Or is it amongst all people in the world? All people in the world. All people. And what that does, it incentivizes everyone to maintain standards of education because you don't want anyone really dumb in there because anyone could be picked.

Wade
This is also presupposing we have one leader. So we're going with. We're going with one leader. No, that's the thing, though, I think to add on to what Mark's saying, you can do the random thing, but no one, no individual can have too much power. Then it's like the council of the world or something.

Mark
Because if you get the House of. Representatives of the world, bad. If you get bad world luck and you get one absolute maniac who takes over as, you know, chancellor or president or whatever, then that could be problems. But if you have one or even a handful of people who are out of their goddamn minds on a council of people who are all responsible for the world. The idealistic part of my brain wants to say that would at least balance out.

Like, at the very worst, you would just have, you know, nothing would get done because people wouldn't let crazy nonsense happen. Because it happens to all of us. Mark is either gone or sitting very still. Hello? He's thinking.

Bob
Hello? Hello? Let's try a simple one. Mark, how many fingers? Hello?

Mark
Oh, wait, I know how to fix this. Mark, how many fingers? Hello? I texted you. Hello.

Wade
You know what, Bob? I'm gonna give you a good Internet point. Thanks, that seems fair. Hello? They tried to take me out.

Bob
It didn't work. The world government. Oh, sweet fucking Jesus. No, no, not again. Hello?

Seamen mobile for details. All right, sorry, everyone. We had to break in the middle of our context there. Mark's tub got us all very wet, so we have to take a moment to dry off. But, uh, where we were chatting just a moment ago, which is right where we're picking up for you guys, but a few minutes later for us is a people.

Wade
Completely random, not chosen by anyone. And Bob recommended a council, but a. Council by a council of who? Counsel of.

Okay, well, you know, we're here. We're talking about world government. The government's trying to shut us down, but we're gonna solve it before it does. And then. And then we got to do the thing.

Bob
What I was talking about before, which is whoever's president dies at the end of their term. You want them a life term or you want them just to be killed at the end of their term? Yes, that one. Term limits and then life limit, then death. Okay, is that for the whole council?

No, no, just the president. So there is a president still? Okay, I'm with you, Mark. What's the problem with the current government? Is it the fact that, like, is funding the issue?

Wade
Like, how do you fund the world government without giving corporations too much power? Is that too big of a question? Taxes? Heavier taxes? No, I mean, just in general.

Bob
That's how you fund the government. Well, yeah, but I think we all feel right now that corporations kind of run ours, right? Like lobbyist groups and. Yeah, well, that's the thing. That's the thing about the randomness, though, right?

Mark
The. The reason that money runs the government is because people need money to get elected. If you don't need money to get elected, if you just get randomly chosen, it doesn't eliminate all of it because people will then just be pursued. Once they have. Once they're chosen, all the companies will just throw money at them.

We'll give you this, we'll give you this. Vote for our thing, whatever. But, like, once they're in public office, we can watch them, right? You can't. If you're a private citizen, you can get away with more stuff, but once you're.

Once you're a public servant, it's. It's not going to get rid of 100%, but it does a lot to tamp down on money. Just buying people into offices and owning people who are supposed to be serving the people, not like the company who paid them to be an official. I think Mark's onto something. It's to solve so many problems.

Bob
So that's two. How do you pick who's the president, though? I think the president's elected from the council. So the council's random people, and then they play like, a game of hot potato or something to make president. Oh, something else random, I guess, right?

Mark
Yeah. Well, is the president's the one that dies, right? Yes. Do they all die or just the president? Just the president.

I feel like just the president is the one who dies because that's the thing. Then if you get randomly picked for the council, then you're like, oh, shit, like, maybe you want to be president, but you're signing up to die. After what, I don't know, four years, eight years, some amount of time you have a set amount of years left. So it's not like some rich person or someone who's bought will just be like, well, I'll be president and I'll make the world the way we want, because then they're just signing up to die. Like, I feel like that cuts into, you can't be bought.

I mean, maybe some people's death could be bought. I don't know. People have a price, but I feel like less people would be into being bought with money to do what someone wants them to. But then signing up to be killed at the end of it, you gotta really mean that shit. Exactly.

Bob
That's. That's the good stuff. This is a weird but still necessary question. How are we executing the president is like, privately, publicly, violently, peacefully, publicly public. It's gotta be public cuz it couldn't fake it.

Mark
I feel like public, but they get to choose from a list of ways. Could be funny, could be an explosion, could just be something, some normal way that. But like, you could choose how, but it's publicized and let everyone, anyone who wants to see it can see it. It's out there. I say what it is, is every four years, it reenacts Caesar's death.

Bob
All the randomly picked counselors get a knife. They put the president in the center. Etuberte. Et tu, brute? Etuberte.

And he has to say that until he's dead. That's how you know he's dead when he stops saying at dubrute. Well, you know, it's the. It was Caesar who said that, not the. Not the stabbers.

Oh, yeah. That puts a lot of weight on being a council member too, though. Cause then you're. Even if you're not signed up, you know, you don't win the presidency, so you're not signed up to die. That's still, like, that's messed up a little bit.

And every counselor has to stab the president. Every one of them has to. Even if he's already long dead. Gotta. This is more of a human consideration.

Mark
Does the president in this scenario, get like a consolation? They serve their term, they hit the eight year mark. Do they get like, like six months or a year to just like, go to Vegas and do whatever the fuck they want for a minute? Like they'd have to be watched, right? Cause clearly that's an opportunity for them to escape.

Yeah, yeah, but some kind of like consolation, like last meal thing, right? Is there something like that? Do they get that? Or is it just a public service? Do your duty and then.

Bob
Well, that'd be weird. Like, all the counselors are at the last dinner and they're all joking around. They're like, hey, buddy, don't stab too hard, eh?

Mark
Stab me somewhere where it doesn't hurt so bad. Would you. Can I have some of those, uh, research. I forgot the name. Research beverages before.

Research chemicals. The thing we just talked about. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah.

Wade
You know, research beverages. Can I have some of those before you stab me? Sounds like what Red Bull would technically be classified as. It's not. It's not a food or drink.

Mark
It's a research beverage. It actually baked, basically is. I have never drank more Red Bull in my life than the past couple weeks. I am not a Red Bull guy. Oh, that's good for you.

Bob
I was actually kind of surprised to discover that there is far less caffeine in Red Bull than any other caffeine beverage around there. I'm not saying that it's good. I'm not saying it's good. I don't know. It's far less.

Mark
I knew it was. Not as much as you might have guessed. It's only 500% daily recommended value. There's no daily recommended caffeine intake. In fact, there probably should be.

Yeah, that's probably zero, officially. Yeah. Some out there have, like, 300 milligrams plus of caffeine. Like, a little red bull has, I think, 90. Yeah, the upper end is 300.

And maybe a little over 300 is, like, crazy. Yeah. It's not as much as you'd think, but it's still probably not good for you. But that's why I was like, oh, interesting. Okay, I can have three of these.

Bob
And I did. So I'm not saying I was good or healthy, but, man. Yeah. And then, like Red Bull, alcoholic beverage content's usually not good because uppers and downers mix together. Gabriel gum.

Wade
Gabriel gum. Gabriel. Hey, burgum. Why not, man? What's wrong with you?

Mark
What are you, a wuss? What? Are you afraid? Do you fear death? Do you fear drink?

Wade
Yeah. I never knew that would catch on. I never thought. I never thought that would catch on. You know, Bob, you an extra death a point.

Mark
Thank you. Okay, question. Clarification. Question. Can you opt out of serving in the government?

Like, say you're too worried about the death thing? Like, if you have kids, you don't want to become president and die. Maybe it's like jury duty, where you can have. If there's, like, a real legitimate excuse. Maybe because if you opt out of the government, you're essentially saying, I leave it in the hands of you.

And maybe you can opt back in after a set amount of time, too, or something. But, like, just to. Just as, like a. Having a death pact is a lot. Well, yeah, and also, like, if you're the only parent to, like, your kids or, you know, I'm sure there are some circumstances we could figure out that would be, like, a reasonable excuse to not serve into the world and commit murder and.

Wade
Or be murdered. I like the communal responsibility. Not like it's the weight of responsibility. We all must. There's no.

Bob
There's no way out. There's no way out. Oh, the village must take the children. Exactly. Everyone who gets assigned to this has to leave everything behind.

Go to ace a compound. A compound that they will never leave until their term is up. Or be. They become the president, which is a death sentence. Can you get randomly selected again, or does your ticket get burned once you get picked?

I think it's extremely unlikely, but, yeah, actually, they shouldn't be able to do. It again because theoretically, it basically isn't possible. But it is technically possible. You could get picked twice in your lifetime. But if they do get picked again, then you're.

You're in the shitter. Because everyone there who has never been picked is probably gonna look at you like you've been here before you be president, and you're like, shit, I should be, shouldn't I? Fucking. So we probably don't want them to be able to serve twice then, right? Yeah, I think.

Mark
I think it's okay if you get picked once. Your tickets out. We spent a lot of time on the death part of this, which isn't too surprising. But the terms. How long is somebody president?

Wade
How long is somebody on the council? And are you on the council before you become president? Or is it like you're elected, you pick somebody, you're up? I think it works like Congress. It's like when you do the random selection, you all go to the compound, and your first responsibility as a council is elect the president and then commence business.

Mark, you agree with that? Yeah, it's fair enough. Okay. Or does the previous council have one last act and pick the new president of the new council members? Oh, someone has to stay behind.

Mark
That's very dramatic. Ooh, that is dramatic. I kind of like that. Because then you get someone in charge who. Who maybe knows a little bit about what's going on.

Wade
What if they just pick the one they dislike the most? Because they know they're going to die at the end, but they'd also be damning themselves. It's like they have to live under that presidency. I don't know. It's tough.

Bob
Well, how about this? They pick on the way out because. Because they can be expelled. Expel your armies. What is it?

Vetoed? Impeached. You can be impeached if you do a bad job, but you're impeached by the new council if you do a bad job, the old council gets to pick. The new council can impeach you, but if you get impeached, you still die. You just die immediately.

Mark
Your term ends, you're out, you die. And if they get impeached, they have to pick someone from theirs. Okay. If you get impeached and or like, people overall dislike you as leader, like, you have a really unpopular vote, do you die a more painful death? They'll stab you with more prejudice.

Bob
They're stabbing, so, you know, it's. It's a matter of, is the first guy gonna stab you in the heart or is everyone gonna start in the legs? The severity of the crime dictates how sharp the knives get to be, too. If you did some real bad shit, it's like, rusty, like, bottom of the ocean knives, like, barely pierce the skin. Really difficult to actually kill you with.

Wade
Worst crime, you get the little knives that, like, are faking, like, sucks back into the thing, but you have to be stabbed with it till you still die from it. Absolute worst. Those swords, they put in sandwiches to hold them together. It would take forever and be agonizing. Plus, it's basically a joke.

The little umbrellas and drinks and then the little swords with, like, the cherries on them. Oh, yeah. Okay. I feel like we're making progress. All right, we've got checks and balances, random people.

We have a council. Council either old or new. We'll figure it out. We'll pick the president. President dies at the end of the term.

What happens to the council at the end of their term? They don't die. They kill the president, and then they go back to their lives. That's it. What are the limit?

Mark
Do we have some kind of constitution? What are the limits on, like, the council's power? We have some kind of, like, bill of rights, constitution type deal. Yeah. So checks and balances.

Wade
We have the council, we have the president. Do we have like, a court system? Is it like the US's checks and balances, but, like, it's not working out. That well right now. I don't know.

Mark
Oh, Mark's gone. Finish it. Finish. Hey, man, welcome back. Finish it, finish it, finish it, finish it.

Wait, you pick. Do we have a judicial system or what? Uh, yeah, probably judicial system of some kind. No, there's no time. No time for judicial system.

That's all. This is the government we're going with. It's the whole world. All right, the government's done. This recording is ending.

Wade
I got tabulate points, I guess, real quick. Fuck you guys. Wouldn't believe it. It's currently a tie. I'll tell you why, Bob.

You've got spacer car. Guy. Sure. Guy Erdogan. I don't know what that word is.

It looks like it says guy Erdic. I don't know, but you got points for that. You got laundry. Matt dorms. I wish I could read my handwriting.

Mark
What? Hell divers. Good nut. No. Good net.

Bob
Good night. Council. No campaign money. That's a lot of points. I, like, choose death off.

Wade
And then I didn't write down the last point, but I think it was from the council conversation, for a total of 14, 1516 points. That's good points. That's good points. Mark, you have definitely human. You have party bad.

Rardion. What? That word is dead web. C and B. I don't know what c and B is.

Term limit cock and balls might be the death impeach. No way out. No net for. Also 510, 14 to 16 points. So I'm going to need a tiebreaker here.

Bob
Whoever's Internet holds up. I feel good about this one.

Mark
Mom over here, like, cruising at 65 on the highway. And Mark is just like. I feel like Mark just gave you the win by saying whose Internet holds up to the longest. So, by Mark's own admission, Bob, I guess you get the bonus point. All right.

Wade
No. Can you hear this? Can you hear this? I turned on the water. My water.

I don't actually hear it, though. Water? No. Oh, I do hear it. Oh, I do hear it.

Mark
That was a lot of water. How many bonus points does he get for the water? Is it just one water? Oh, it's up to you. Oh, my God.

Wade
That's a little extra wet. Oh, my God. Okay, you know what? By Bob at the start of this episode, saying that if you get wet, you either win or get points. Mark.

Sure. You have more points. You have 18 points. You win. Winners speed.

I did this for all of earth. I wanted to be here. And I. They're trying to stop me from making the perfect government. I just want to see how much presidency.

I just ripped my shorts. I just ripped the crotch out of my shorts. What is happening? I went to, like, scoot my chair and I spread my legs and my crotch just ripped. Oh, my God.

Mark
Mark. Hurry. Bring it home, Mark. I tore my pants to lose. Ah.

Bob
Thank you all so much for believing in me. I can't wait to elect you guys at random to be part of the council. And then let's stab the future government. What the hell is happening? Why are you showing your pubes these.

Wade
Are part of the strings. This was. This used to be the seam of my shorts. I am glad that I lost because I assume that means I am not president in this new government we have created. And so I get to live.

Mark
And I get to live in a great world, the best world with the best government. Guaranteed or your money back. Fuck. I like these shorts. Great speeches, I guess.

Wade
Good work. Congrats to Mark. Our winner. Bob, good work. On the second place follow up, we have a world government kind of plan.

If you haven't already. Go follow Mark and Markiplier Bob at my scurm, I'm sorry for this. It was a burp in my mouth. Today episode for how it turned out. Everyone, the Internet decided it was going to change the way that the world works.

Instead of us figuring out the way the world works. The Internet dictated it because it's not dead yet, just dying. Find the boys where you can. Where I said, I don't remember if I said me. Doesn't matter.

Distractiblestore.com if you want merch. Because as Mark said last time, new merch coming soon if it's not already out. So out with the old, in with the new. Shop now if you want it. Stay tuned for the next one where I guess Mark will host because he got wet.

Until then, podcast out.
