00:02:29 Speaker_03
Hello and welcome back to another episode of the world's favorite. I've done that bit before of the most mid podcast you have ever heard. Distractible. Is that a title we want? No, we're not actually very mid, but some of them are mid.

00:02:43 Speaker_03
We have an episode called an Emmy losing episode, and I think also the worst piece of shit episode ever. So those can't be that good. We're like a top 30 ish podcast like in the I'll give you a spoiler for later on.

00:02:54 Speaker_03
This episode is called Top 10 Things or something like that. We're doing a tier list. Yeah, it's like a tier list, kind of. Anyway, welcome back to Distractible. I'm the host because I won the last episode.

00:03:06 Speaker_03
I'm joined as usual by my two competitors for today. One of them will win and become the host. It's Mark and Wade. They already talked. They don't get to... Don't talk. Don't talk. Don't talk. Don't talk. They're competing for points.

00:03:17 Speaker_03
Whoever wins hosts the next one. That's the way the show works. I am Drew Carey or Aisha Tyler. Depends which version you like better. Anyway, we usually start with small talk. How's it going, fellas? How you doing? How's it been?

00:03:32 Speaker_03
I give you permission to speak now. Okay. I'm doing well, man We're doing a president tier list is what we're doing today pretty much I think Van Buren should at least be beat here overrated too high D tier, okay

00:03:46 Speaker_03
I don't have an entry until the episode begins. I'm not doing anything for with for no points. A point for boldness, Mark. I'm also giving Wade a point for baldness because boldness made me think of baldness. Thank you, President Balds. I'm a genius.

00:04:02 Speaker_03
Go on. My mind knows no limits. The scope of my psyche expands every day. Did you know you can buy a forklift on eBay? No. You sure as shit can I am currently embroiled in a bidding war on a Forklift with no reserve pricing on it. Does it work?

00:04:31 Speaker_03
How much do we know about this forklift? Apparently there's some pictures of it and the guy says oh, there's a video actually Why didn't I see this before I? You're sure this is not just a poster of a forklift, right?

00:04:41 Speaker_03
No, there's a video of orbiting around the forklift. He's looking at the serial numbers. He's raising the fork up and down. It's not just a 116th scale model RC forklift. No, this is a 5,000 pound telescoping forklift with tilt control in it.

00:04:59 Speaker_03
Oh, hell yeah. Is it a shyster? It's a Toyota. Oh, good brand, quality brand. The reason I'm looking for a forklift is because Jason, who I think you guys know, is forklift certified. Is that a real thing? I thought that was a bit that people did.

00:05:15 Speaker_03
Is that a real actual thing? Yeah, absolutely. Forklifts are dangerous things. They're extremely dangerous. Let me double check your logic here. Someone you know is forklift certified. Therefore, you need a forklift.

00:05:27 Speaker_03
You don't actually have anything you need to move with a forklift. No, I do. I can't leave Jason liftless. He got certified. I gotta get him a forklift. I am going to need a forklift for reasons that I shall not get into at this moment.

00:05:47 Speaker_03
They're my reasons. I don't need to explain it to you listeners, you viewers. How many lenses Mark? How many? Mark is actually buying an entire observatory telescope system so that he can film the rest of his movie from LA in Texas. Hubble plier?

00:06:08 Speaker_03
If you rehouse a telescope, like an actual observatory, it's the image quality is just, oh, ah. Uh, no, I'm just always and forever tickled by the random shit that you can think of and it's on eBay. There is a listing of it. I unironically love eBay.

00:06:26 Speaker_03
I am so excited every day when I wake up and I go to eBay and I check some of my bids and I look around and I get a new notification for like, Oh, Oh, one of these hard drives came on sale. I have it set for like threshold.

00:06:39 Speaker_03
I like, I, I want all of the sponsorships for eBay. You're an eBay super user over here. I'm not sure that they're going to sponsor us because you can't really give much more of a glowing review than what you just gave.

00:06:51 Speaker_03
I just I've never been an eBay person before I started the lens path because I've always been scared of it for some reason. I was like eBay. You can you can lose on eBay. It's not common, but like if you're not careful, you totally can lose on eBay.

00:07:03 Speaker_03
You can get scammed or whatever. Get some crap. I actually, I bought a prebuilt server through eBay. That was a good price. And since then, I've actually communicated with that company.

00:07:13 Speaker_03
I've communicated with that company about like, Hey, I saw that you had a listing for this server, but in a different chassis with more NVME base, do you think you could do something where you upgrade my computer?

00:07:24 Speaker_03
If I send it back to you, I don't want to refund, you know, and I don't want to buy the other one. I don't want to do a swap. I'm like, if you have a chassis and they're like, yeah, we'll work with you. We'll absolutely work with you.

00:07:32 Speaker_03
So there are like reputable sellers that you can work with regularly. Anyway, I'm going to shut up because this does sound like I'm selling out about eBay, but I just fucking love it. No, well, it's not exactly the same, but I get why you like that.

00:07:44 Speaker_03
I was huge. I was when I didn't have any money when I was a college student. But one of my favorite hobbies earlier in life was just Craigslist in general.

00:07:53 Speaker_03
just go on Craigslist and scan, browse through and just see like, what, what are people selling or trading for or whatever? I rarely ever got anything off of Craigslist.

00:08:04 Speaker_03
And the one of the couple of times I actually did, I got absolutely scammed out of my pants and like literally got home and was so deflated about it that I, it was like a formative memory from that era of my life.

00:08:17 Speaker_03
I hated, but I love, I get why you liked that about eBay. Cause there's, they have everything. And you can just look if there's anything you want, you can just go and look and it's it is fun.

00:08:26 Speaker_03
I've got the craziest deals on 25 gigabit Ethernet add in cards and I see his network interface cards. Those things, if you buy them from anywhere else, they're like 200 bucks, like 250, 300 bucks.

00:08:39 Speaker_03
But on eBay, because there's so many cells on eBay that take old bulk, all these data centers just when they, when they try to upgrade, they don't know what the fuck to do with the rest of their shit.

00:08:49 Speaker_03
So they sell it to a wholesale rip apart person company and they take all the parts and they list them on eBay or it goes out to China and they do the same thing. And all these parts that are still good and working end up on these sites.

00:09:01 Speaker_03
I get it for 50 bucks. What was and is like 200 bucks as 50 is perfectly good. And I'm just like, yes, I don't know. It just tickles me. I just, I feel great about it. I oddly just found myself on eBay last night.

00:09:14 Speaker_03
I don't, I go on there maybe like once a year. I really do not do this very often. Molly and I were talking about like Pokemon cards. I used to collect them when I was young, but I haven't for years.

00:09:22 Speaker_03
Like when they first came out, there was the regular set. Then there was the jungle set, the fossil set, the rocket set. And then there's been like a thousand different Pokemon sets since then. But we're talking about it.

00:09:31 Speaker_03
And I was like, man, I wonder what, like some of the old cards are worth. Like I know people talk about Charizards and stuff. So I'll let me look up Charizard cards. And there were a few on there.

00:09:39 Speaker_03
There was like a German first edition PSA 10 Charizard for $26,000. There was a shadowless first edition English Charizard for $254,000. Good Lord. And then there was another. It was like first edition Charizard $15 PSA 10. And I was like, what?

00:10:00 Speaker_03
And this was when I clicked on it just to look. I was like, what's wrong with it? Something. It's a poster of a yeah.

00:10:08 Speaker_03
But that's not immediately clear other than like the price is like it's one of those things where it gets you to click because it seems like it's like, OK, this is a scam. But how is this a scam? Let's look into it.

00:10:18 Speaker_03
Yeah, I love trying to figure out what's the deal with that. No, that is funny. Like did I click on the two hundred fifty four thousand dollar card? No, because if I accidentally was anywhere near the bid button, I'd be in trouble.

00:10:28 Speaker_03
Whereas the poster, it's like, well, I got to know what the scam is like. Come on. How are you hustling me? Let's see. The only time I've ever actually been felt like I've been scammed because I've actually been pretty good there.

00:10:39 Speaker_03
There have been very rare times where I bought something and the thing that I bought didn't show up. There's one time where it took way too long for it to show up months and months.

00:10:47 Speaker_03
I had to like hound the seller to sell it, but it actually didn't show up eventually. But there was this other time where I won an auction.

00:10:53 Speaker_03
I was the only bidder on that auction and the minimum of the bid was way low, really, really low for what that product was not so low, not like dollars, but it was like, like the seller would be disappointed. And so I was the only bidder and I won.

00:11:08 Speaker_03
And so I was like, yeah, I paid, I waited, the seller canceled my order. And they said something was wrong with my payment process or some shit like that, or my shipping address was incomplete. And then they wouldn't respond to any of my messages.

00:11:21 Speaker_03
But I reached out to eBay and they actually closed that guy's entire account because you cannot do that.

00:11:26 Speaker_03
It's a huge problem for eBay because they're sort of subject to your experience with eBay is subject to whoever the fuck that other person is on the other end of any given transaction.

00:11:35 Speaker_03
And if it's not a reputable or sell reputable seller like you were talking about, yeah, like some people just do some shit like that. But what's funny is that guy actually had a lot of reviews and he'd sold a lot of products on that account.

00:11:46 Speaker_03
So and then it's gone because he was like, oh, I don't want to lose it for too low. I bought some stuff on there earlier this year, too. We had a friend in town who helped me refurbish an old PS2.

00:11:55 Speaker_03
They've got all kinds of cool stuff out there now to, like, plug your PlayStation 2 in and it'll, like, up the graphics to look like they fit better on, like... Yeah, like an upscaler. Yeah, upscaler.

00:12:04 Speaker_03
And then they've got, like, controllers and stuff that have been refurbished to work so it's, like, still the PS2 feel, but you can have it be wireless and stuff like that. I bought some stuff like that on eBay, too. It's really good stuff.

00:12:13 Speaker_03
There's, like, some really reputable companies that do that kind of thing. They're just like, here, have this. There's really cool stuff on there. Shitty people, but there's a lot of great people doing great things, too.

00:12:20 Speaker_03
I totally believe you could start your business and operate it completely from eBay, and it would be a great method to do it 100%. I wonder what their cut is of things I've never sold on eBay.

00:12:29 Speaker_03
It's funny because that was like it's in the movie 40 year old virgin, but that was like a huge thing in like the late 90s, early 2000s. My dad actually did that. My dad in in my youth, because my dad was our stay at home parent in our family.

00:12:44 Speaker_03
My mom was very successful. And so we're my dad was able to be just a stay at home parent, raise my brother and I. He's like a very smart, intelligent guy. Like he's always trying to find stuff to do because he needs things to keep his mind active.

00:12:56 Speaker_03
In the early days of eBay, he got into buying stuff. Specifically, you could buy things from Sharper Image and or Brookstone wholesale, like you could buy last year's things and you buy them wholesale. You buy them, you know, from like a bulk retailer.

00:13:12 Speaker_03
So you buy like 500 waterproof shower radios, right? That was kind of a big one. He did. He had a ton of those. and then sell them on eBay. And the margin is fine. Like there's a decent margin.

00:13:23 Speaker_03
All he had to do is buy them storm at the house and then pack them up and ship them up. And whenever he sold one on eBay, it was cool.

00:13:29 Speaker_03
He ran a little shop out of our house back in the days before that was now it's like super easy and not that uncommon. But he was a is a pioneer of the Internet. But you could I think you're right. I think you could totally do that.

00:13:39 Speaker_03
Meanwhile, my grandpa bought 12 dozen eggs one time because they were on sale. We just ate eggs for three straight weeks. Mmm, eggs. He bought two liters when they were on sale and gave them away for Christmas.

00:13:50 Speaker_03
Dude, all you got, if you got too many eggs, make deviled eggs. I can only eat so many eggs in a row. I can pound a dozen deviled eggs by myself. Some kind of magical shit happens when you make eggs into deviled eggs.

00:14:02 Speaker_03
They take up less volume or something. If you sat down for breakfast and someone was like, here's six whole eggs, you'd be like, what the fuck? But if someone put a dozen deviled eggs in front of you, you'd be like, I might be able to finish that off.

00:14:15 Speaker_03
So do you mean a dozen deviled eggs? Like you're meaning six whole eggs still, right? Cause you mean the half? The same amount of total eggs. Some kind of magic shit happens. I don't know what it is. Okay.

00:14:23 Speaker_03
To make deviled eggs, you don't use the yolk, do you? You'd replace it? Hard boil the eggs, cut them in half, scoop the yolks out, mix those into the mayonnaise mixture, put, pipe them back in. Okay. There are still part of the mayonnaise mixture. Okay.

00:14:35 Speaker_03
So you use the whole egg and you add stuff to it. Also, this is such a weird small talk is turning into. Do you guys have that? It's changed my life with boiling eggs. It's a little egg shaped thing that's flat on the bottom.

00:14:48 Speaker_03
You drop it into the water with the eggs with you. It has a visible cooking indicator so that the the plastic piece will cook and there's lines in it that say soft, medium, hard. No, what the fuck?

00:15:01 Speaker_03
Where the line is is exactly what the other eggs are cooked at. It's exact. I mean, that's interesting, but timing works very consistently.

00:15:10 Speaker_03
I know for a fact, if I bring water to a boil, put eggs in and set a timer for six minutes and 15 seconds, I get jammy seven minutes. I get hard, pretty hard, you know, like it is. But you have to learn like whenever like we moved, right.

00:15:22 Speaker_03
And we went from an electric stove to a gas stove. I don't know. I feel like gas stoves work differently. Well, when you put in the cold eggs, it does change the temperature of the water for a little bit and that can fluctuate it.

00:15:32 Speaker_03
If you put that thing in there, I don't know how much it costs, but it's changed my... I feel like water looks different when it boils on a gas stove versus an electric stove. It's less bubbly on the gas stove. Gas stoves suck. I'll say it.

00:15:44 Speaker_03
Take him away, Biden. Take everyone's gas stoves, liberals. They suck. Your final act in office, take away gas stoves. Ban gas stoves. I like a gas stove, but I will admit I'd probably be better if I just had an induction. I want induction so badly.

00:16:02 Speaker_03
I'm not saying like the coils are better, but honestly, I feel like the coils heat faster than a gas stove. They do. But then they're like, if you turn them too high, then they're that hot temperature for like 20 minutes.

00:16:13 Speaker_03
If you can overheat and then you have fucking apocalyptically hot glass stovetop for ever. It's it's annoying. but induction is magic. I've only had it for a very short amount of time.

00:16:23 Speaker_03
I think it was at an Airbnb I had once and it was just like, it's magic. It boils so fast. I don't get why some people are like, try to make things political when it's just like, this is literally better.

00:16:33 Speaker_03
Oh, that sounds like something a libertarian would say. Oh, you got me. I want small government. No, it just is. The thing that always gets me is don't do this. But generally, like my parents have an induction cooktop.

00:16:47 Speaker_03
You can literally have a pan on there and be boiling water, and then you can take the pan off and put your hand on. And it's like warm, but you don't even get burnt. It's so incredibly like it's so much safer. It's so much more effective at heating.

00:17:02 Speaker_03
It's crazy. You do have to have the right kind of pans because like aluminum is not inductive or whatever. But most pans work. You just have to like have. It's not it's not a big of a thing to have the right pans if you have an induction. It's so good.

00:17:15 Speaker_03
Does it work with copper? Is it doesn't work with copper? It doesn't work with copper, but most copper pans have a sandwiched stainless copper bottom anyway.

00:17:24 Speaker_03
You some pans won't work, but like generally, as long as you aren't like really particular about having the exact type of pan that doesn't work on an induction cooktop for some reason, it's fine.

00:17:33 Speaker_03
Induction plate, you can buy that and put it on your induction stove, put a copper thing on there, and it'll be fine. What about for us super rich people who have diamond pans and pots and stuff? Can you boil water in a diamond pot?

00:17:44 Speaker_03
You got that diamond stone whatever whatever? I got my diamond pot button, yeah, for my diamond subscribers. Was there ever a conclusion of how bad Teflon actually is for the human body? It's not good. Isn't it a PFOS?

00:17:57 Speaker_03
Isn't it one of those forever chemicals? Isn't that what it's made from?

00:18:00 Speaker_03
I know the old Teflon was one of like one of the most horrendous ones, but then they have new Teflon, but it's similarly bad in that if you have a nonstick pan, even if it's a modern one and it starts to scratch at all, you're supposed to throw it away because ingesting that stuff is super bad for you.

00:18:14 Speaker_03
There is a new type of non-stick that is not a coating, it's actually like how the pan is made, the microtexturing of it does something about it. It's non-stick and it's better. The pan excretes butter while you cook it to make things slippery.

00:18:29 Speaker_03
Oh, there's a butter button? Just... water. Oh, God. Every time you cook, you just inject some liquid butter into the side.

00:18:36 Speaker_03
Actually, that's what people say about cast iron is like you season it because you want that to come out, not necessarily like a butter button, but it's like it's coated with the flavors of everything that you've used to season with it.

00:18:48 Speaker_03
But I can tell you, country style gravy made in cast iron does taste different than gravy made elsewhere.

00:18:53 Speaker_03
Now, cast iron is like magic, because what happens when you the reason cast iron pans get seasoned, quote unquote, you're literally polymerizing the fats that you have on the surface into a new polymer.

00:19:05 Speaker_03
I don't know the science of it, but like it is mystical and magical because a perfectly seasoned cast iron is like as slick and glossy as a nonstick pan, which is wild.

00:19:14 Speaker_03
literally started this episode I was finishing lunch and now I'm hungry again for like breakfast food. You know what is crazy? Every single crazy asinine thing I've put into my server room has worked.

00:19:25 Speaker_03
And I know I'm jinxing myself, but I can't believe that. That does seem like a lot of luck. Have you filled it with what's that liquid called? Have you put the liquid gel in the whole room yet? Glauber salt. You're talking about Glauber salt.

00:19:38 Speaker_03
Yeah, everyone's favorite. I think it's so funny that people fundamentally misunderstood how I was gonna use it. Everyone was just like, DON'T PUT CLOBBER SALT IN YOUR SERVER. I'M AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT.

00:19:53 Speaker_03
AND I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU DO THAT IT WILL BLOW UP EVERYTHING. And I was just like, how dumb do people think? Someone just caught us straight. I'm an electrical engineering student. I'm an electrical engineer hobbyist. I have a bachelor's degree.

00:20:11 Speaker_03
I think it's perfectly safe mark. Thank you I don't I have two degrees. I think you're a genius mark Bob Do you have ghosts in front of you in front of me? Is there a window in front of you or something? Are you referring to this?

00:20:26 Speaker_03
Yeah, I saw a shadowy figure. What is what is going? It looks like a window and someone's walking by it. What is that? I'm in a basement. Let's be let's be very clear about this. I'm in a basement. This is a TV that's off that is reflective.

00:20:40 Speaker_03
But what it usually reflects is my monitors. And I just saw that. Yeah, you saw that someone walked by. You can see my hand in the monitor, right? We could see like right here when I Yeah, r-angle, I can't, but I believe you. I swear, something walked by.

00:20:54 Speaker_03
I saw that, because you made me look at it right where that- It looked like- What is that? What is that? What is that? I saw it! What is it? I'm in a basement! You got ghost, man! What's happening?

00:21:08 Speaker_03
My monitors are all static except for your images right now. Good luck putting that in a YouTube short editors. Man, Bob, if this is a prank, it's a good one. Dude, if this is a prank, I'm pranking my own self here too. What the fuck is happening?

00:21:22 Speaker_03
Hey, I'll give you 20 bucks to stand in front of this light while I'm recording an episode and just walk back and forth. I'm in a basement. There are like basement windows, but there's no way that they're reflect.

00:21:32 Speaker_03
That's what's reflected because they're covered by horizontal slats. It keeps happening. Man, I didn't mean to derail your episode, but yeah. I have no fucking idea what that is. What's reflecting right now in that top part?

00:21:44 Speaker_03
Like, what is that green line? Watch right here, right? You can see my hand shadow right there. That's my hand in front of my monitors. What is up? Wait, I can obstruct that. Yeah. It's a... I don't have an explanation for that.

00:22:03 Speaker_03
I think there's someone hiding behind your monitor. I think that's the only thing. The only other thing in my office that emits light is I have a over there up high. I have a computer, but it's purple. It's all purple lighting inside my computer.

00:22:17 Speaker_03
It's not green. All the listeners are shaking their steering wheel. Listeners, there's a TV that looks like someone's moving in front of a reflection in it. There you go. You're welcome.

00:22:30 Speaker_03
It honestly looks like someone is walking back and forth in front of the reflection. I'm alone in a basement. I don't know what to tell you. Are you a guy? I hope so. I don't know. Oh, they walked the other way. It did go the other way. I saw that.

00:22:43 Speaker_03
If a face appears and stays there, maybe we'll talk to it. Maybe that'll be the episode. I don't like that. I don't like that. Oh, this is, uh, not a big thing, but it's preparation. I am getting a fridge delivered this week. Yes. Oh God.

00:23:01 Speaker_03
So this is a different, we live in Ohio now. It's a totally different house. We have an upstairs fridge and a basement fridge. Cause we live in the Midwest and we always have a basement fridge in the Midwest for whatever reason.

00:23:10 Speaker_03
Basement fridge stopped fridging. It's it's only moderately cool and not cold enough to be food safe anymore. Are you doing the Midwest thing where you take kitchen fridge, move it to basement, get new kitchen fridge? Oh, yeah. No, no.

00:23:23 Speaker_03
Yeah, we're 100 percent doing that. We're getting we're getting new upstairs fridge and we're putting upstairs fridge into downstairs area.

00:23:29 Speaker_03
There are three fridges that are about to be moved up and downstairs through this house because they're taking the old one away. They're moving the one upstairs down and then they're putting a new one. It's not from Lowe's. Last time it was Lowe's.

00:23:43 Speaker_03
You mean Woe's? Yeah, well, that it was them. I can't help but feel like the shadow in that monitor looks like Smeagol leaning over, looking at you. Am I in trouble or what? Maybe! There's two of them! There's two of what? What do you mean?

00:23:57 Speaker_03
Two walked by in quick succession. I think Wade's just making shit up now. I don't- Could be legs. That could just be legs. Bob's legs? No. His legs are below the camera.

00:24:07 Speaker_03
My legs reach under the desk and then up the backside and I'm just doing that with my legs way 12 feet away from my body. Just fair warning. Next time we record this show, I will have had a lot of refrigerators moving around my house.

00:24:23 Speaker_03
What condition is your side yard in? They shouldn't even have to use the side yard in this house. The fridge should come in the front door and straight through to the kitchen and the basement stairs. They do have like a U-turn, but they're pretty wide.

00:24:34 Speaker_03
They're fairly wide. Should be fine. I can't wait. I'm so sorry for your future pain. Joe Rogan, your days are numbered. We're coming back, baby. We're surging to the top.

00:24:46 Speaker_03
All the viewers, listeners, tell your friends, tell your family it's time to come back to Distractible because Bob's Fridge Part 2, it's coming. If something bad happens and I have to do, I don't know.

00:24:56 Speaker_03
I feel like that'll be confirmation that we live in a simulation because it's just there's no reason. Anyway, we have ghosts and soon we'll have refrigerators. That's why it's your favorite podcast. It's the only reason.

00:26:00 Speaker_03
Top 10 is accurate, but you're not making a top 10 list. What we're doing is you're guessing what are on these top 10 lists.

00:26:09 Speaker_03
I have a series of top 10 lists that I compiled from Googling things, so they are not definitive and or even correct necessarily, but this is the best I could find. So this is like Harvey Feud or Harvey Feud. Harvey Feud, yep. Wow. Family, Steve.

00:26:26 Speaker_03
Family, Steve. I love that show. OK, man, I'm ready. This is like Harvey Feud, basically. But these these rankings are, I don't know, internet bullshit. Who knows? But we're going to start easy, OK?

00:26:37 Speaker_03
I'm going to give you the title of the list and then I'm going to you're just going to try and fill it in. And we're going to start with a super easy one. I'm going to flip a lens cap to see who goes fucking first. I just almost threw the lens cap.

00:26:53 Speaker_03
This is Mark. This is Wade. I can't tell the difference, but I can't wait to see. I can't tell the difference, but Mark is the outside. This is like the front. This is like the side that faces the lens. Here we go. Mark goes first. Triangle of fairness.

00:27:07 Speaker_03
It's not a triangle. It's a small lens cap. Sorry. The first list we're going to do is the top 10 ice cream flavors in America. Oh, so I got to guess which ones are in points based on how high. Not based on how high I'm going to.

00:27:22 Speaker_03
It's going to be like a you win the list type of deal. So I'm going to keep track of who gets which ones and you you want to get more of the correct answers. We don't have to get all ten of every list, but also I'll try and give you hints.

00:27:33 Speaker_03
But this one should be easy. I think that my answer, because it's really like if you think like most popular one, there's really only two choices that spring up because, you know, people are very basic. I'm going to go with vanilla.

00:27:45 Speaker_03
I was hoping you were gonna pull some weird-ass flavor out of your ass after all that, like the build-up. Macaroni and cheese! Vanilla was number one? Vanilla is number one.

00:27:54 Speaker_03
That's what I thought, because it'd be the most basic thing, but also it is a flavor, it's not just nothing. It's not just milk-flavored. I'm gonna skip some of the basics, I'll leave those to Mark, and I'm gonna go cookies and cream.

00:28:06 Speaker_03
Which has basically become a basic flavor. Number four on our list is cookies and cream. That's about where I would have expected it to be. This is my favorite. I really just want to know if it's on the list. Butter pecan.

00:28:18 Speaker_03
Butter pecan is number seven on this list. OK, all right. All right. Gaining in popularity. Apparently it ranks as high as fourth in some things, but it's a seven on this list. So it depends who you ask, where you ask them, probably.

00:28:33 Speaker_03
It's a fantastic flavor. I'm going to do another exploratory one, like the Cincinnati Cincinnati enemy wants to say black raspberry chip because graders.

00:28:41 Speaker_03
But I don't know if that's a national or worldwide flavor, but I'm going to say cotton candy and see if cotton candy is on the list. That was a very popular flavor when I worked at ice cream. Not on the list.

00:28:52 Speaker_03
I think that's a very UDF Midwest flavor, but not necessarily as a national thing. Mint chocolate chip.

00:28:59 Speaker_03
As much as I would love black raspberry chip to be there, if anyone likes mint chocolate chip, black raspberry chip isn't like a substitute because you either like the mint or you don't.

00:29:07 Speaker_03
But I'm like black raspberry chip is great, but mint chocolate chip is probably the most mint chocolate chip is number five. Alright, yeah. Well, this one's probably on there then. Cookie dough. Chocolate chip cookie dough is number six.

00:29:19 Speaker_03
Have we said chocolate? No. Oh, chocolate. Chocolate's number two. We also haven't said strawberry. Strawberry's number three. You guys really did just skip right over all of the basics.

00:29:30 Speaker_03
Well, I thought Mark would give the basic ones, so I wouldn't go crazy. I guess you can't say Neapolitan because that's just those, right? Is that your guess? No, no, no, no. Is it on the list? Wait. I was just asking. I was just asking. Is that your guess?

00:29:42 Speaker_03
Yeah, sure. Neapolitan. Neapolitan is number nine on the list. Wow. Even though, isn't Neapolitan just vanilla, chocolate and strawberry together?

00:29:55 Speaker_03
Apparently that's very popular in the older generation, specifically Gen Xers and especially baby boomers really like Neapolitan. What about just boring chocolate chip? I need the cookie dough, but chocolate chip itself is probably on there.

00:30:07 Speaker_03
That did not make the list. Really good. Honestly, good. We have two left, and I do think they're very guessable, but we are definitely getting away from the most obvious flavors with these ones. Rocky Road.

00:30:21 Speaker_03
Rocky Road is number 10 on this list, meaning that we have one left. So I'm going through my brain here. There's another very popular combination, at least at UDF, but there's multiple of them.

00:30:34 Speaker_03
Peanut butter, peanut butter, chocolate chip, some version of peanut butter, peanut butter. Not on this list. I'm surprised. I'm going to go with Americone Dream as my favorite of the Ben & Jerry's.

00:30:46 Speaker_03
No, that is a good flavor of the Ben & Jerry's special ones, but that is not on the list. Superman also yes the bar not on the list that was a cat that was a UDF flavor Yeah, it's got to be some cup of caramel or caramel or however.

00:31:02 Speaker_03
I say do you want a hint? No, I've got two more guesses before I want to hint. Let me go sea salt caramel something like that. That's not it. Sorry Turkish coffee What? No, no. And bad. No. I don't know if a sherbert would count.

00:31:17 Speaker_03
This is specifically ice cream. Yeah, this that's not that's a different type of thing. Brownie something. Unless that isn't that rocky road. That's technically right. There are there would be like a brownie chunk thing would be. That's not it, though.

00:31:31 Speaker_03
Birthday cake. Birthday cake is number seven. Interesting. It's more widely probably known as like confetti cake or just like cake. But that is that's been one that really has exploded in popularity. I feel like in our lifetimes. It is very good.

00:31:47 Speaker_03
Probably terrible for you, but God, is it good? Is that just like vanilla with sprinkles or is there something else in there?

00:31:52 Speaker_03
It's like vanilla with sprinkles and usually it either has like cake bits or like crunchy bits that are supposed to be the cake mixed into it. So it's kind of like cake and ice cream all in one scoop. Oh, I see.

00:32:04 Speaker_03
Or like if you get like a cold stone, they literally just take some cake and just fuck it in there with everything else. I hope they don't. I hope they don't fuck it in there. You guys did very well on that. I think this is another lowball one.

00:32:16 Speaker_03
Oh, my knee. Oh, OK. Wade, you get to go first on this one. Give me the top 10 most popular restaurant brands in the US. So this includes fast food, sit down places. This includes anywhere you can get food or drinks.

00:32:32 Speaker_03
So like smoothie places or any kind of like restaurant store. Uh, Wendy's. Wendy's is number five. McDonald's. McDonald's is number one. Mark out here getting all the number one answers. Yeah, that's what it's all about, baby.

00:32:49 Speaker_03
I want to do, I want to explore. I want to see if Rally slash Checkers is on there. Not because they're like one of the greater ones, but because they literally have two different names because they're everywhere.

00:32:57 Speaker_03
I love that guess, and I see what you're going for. They did not make the cut. Is Chipotle on the list? Oh, I see what you're getting at.

00:33:04 Speaker_03
They have actually fallen off, notably regarded as previously would have been on this list, but no longer regarded as well by people. Interesting. Interesting. Is Burger King somehow still on this list?

00:33:17 Speaker_03
I feel like they've also fallen off since like the late 90s, but they're still everywhere. Burger King somehow is number six on this list. That is dubiously high to my eyes. But yes, their chicken in the late the late 90s, man was so good.

00:33:30 Speaker_03
No, they do have they have very specific things that just you can't you can't get other places. Uh, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper. They advertise like crazy. And I know, I think of the jingle. Uh, Jack in the Box?

00:33:44 Speaker_03
That's a good one, but no, not on this list. Really? Would something like Starbucks count? Starbucks is number two on this list. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I was trying to give you that at the beginning.

00:33:57 Speaker_03
This includes all food establishments, so like- And Dunkin' Donuts has also got to be up there. I think it's offensively low, but Dunkin' Donuts is at number nine on this list. And technically, I guess it's just called Dunkin' now. Yeah.

00:34:11 Speaker_03
Whatever you want, company that everyone knows the name of. Yeah, change. Change your iconic name. Good job. That executive that walked into the building really made that decision.

00:34:21 Speaker_03
I don't know if this is going to make the list, but I feel like they're everywhere. Waffle House. They are everywhere. I feel like they really lose it at most popular brands in the US. They've got to be to be so everywhere that they are.

00:34:36 Speaker_03
I don't know how there are so many Waffle Houses and I don't know a single soul who goes to one for any purpose regularly. In Milford, we were like, we went to high school. Well, Mark and I went to high school.

00:34:47 Speaker_03
They literally popped one up in the middle of a grocery store parking lot. It just appeared one day. I don't know. It does seem like they there are too many of those that there people have to eat there for them to keep opening. Right.

00:34:59 Speaker_03
Maybe people who eat at Waffle House don't respond to surveys. Maybe it's a bias in the survey subway subway that comes in at number six. Did I say six already? Subway is actually number six. OK, I think you said Burger King was number six.

00:35:14 Speaker_03
Yeah, Burger King, I think is five. Actually, I think I just don't count so good. So we're missing number three right now. We're missing three, four, eight and ten. I don't know if I want to keep trusting breakfast places.

00:35:24 Speaker_03
I'm sure I'm missing some obvious ones. Definitely missing some obvious ones. Try IHOP. Ooh, IHOP is not on this list. Taco Bell. That's a pretty obvious one. Taco Bell is number four. I don't think a Taco Bell because I don't and Waffle House aren't there.

00:35:42 Speaker_03
I don't think like a Bob Evans or anything else is going to make it. So. Oh, that's like an Ohio thing. I see. I don't know. I've always been in Ohio. I don't know these things. I mean, like In-N-Out, but that's only West Coast.

00:35:51 Speaker_03
So like what would be big national brands here? Big conglomerated national brands. Arby's. Good guess. But no, Arby's didn't make the cut. Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-a is number three on this list. That high is huge. Insanely.

00:36:07 Speaker_03
Have you ever seen the lines at Chick-fil-a? Chick-fil-a disrupts traffic a mile away, depending on how their driveways are designed. People go apeshit for that. Not here, but here.

00:36:18 Speaker_03
It's one of the like, even if they have a long line, it goes quickly and they do like the double thing, I guess. So yeah, but it's still like they're good at getting people through.

00:36:27 Speaker_03
Where I lived in the bay, there would be they had a special parking lot built at the new Chick-fil-A where the line went all the way around the perimeter of the property.

00:36:35 Speaker_03
It was literally like a 50 car line they had built, and that was not enough to contain the lunch rush line. It still backed up into the street and fucked up traffic in the whole area. Chick-fil-A is crazy.

00:36:48 Speaker_03
I don't know how they keep enough chicken in that building to feed all the people going through there. Meat Canyon is probably right. I don't know. They have an underground chicken lab.

00:36:57 Speaker_03
Anyway, we are now missing number 8 and number 10, and I have hints if you want them. It's hard to use on the list for some reason. It's not that popular here, but maybe it is overall. Nah, nah. This is an oddball one.

00:37:08 Speaker_03
I don't know if this qualifies, but I'm going to throw out 7-Eleven because they do sell food and they're very popular. I really like that guess. 7-Eleven is not on the list, but that's a very good guess. What about KFC? KFC is number 10. Damn, OK.

00:37:26 Speaker_03
I'm missing the number eight restaurant on this list. I'll give a hint that's very vague. It is a type of place we haven't guessed any of yet. We haven't guessed this type of the type of like cuisine they serve type of food they serve.

00:37:41 Speaker_03
Oh, is it Panda Express? That is an excellent guess. But no, Panda is not on the list. All right. You would think those are those do very well. Pizza Hut? Pizza Hut is not on the list. But is it Domino's? Domino's is number eight on our list.

00:37:56 Speaker_03
Really, Domino's is more popular than Pizza Hut now. I was also surprised by that. Domino's internationally is way more successful than any other large pizza trade.

00:38:04 Speaker_03
And so I think I actually think Domino's very mediocre, but it's like always consistent. So I think that's part of the appeal. Whereas like Papa John's is probably one of my favorite. I actually like that. I still can't get over.

00:38:15 Speaker_03
There's a one pizza place by UC. Adriaticos. Adriaticos. Like that's probably been my favorite pizza place I've ever gone to. But Papa John's swings wildly. Dude, they do.

00:38:25 Speaker_03
They're either one of the best or if their cheese is wrong, it makes you feel nauseous with every bite. It really depends on the quality of what you get. Domino's wings and pasta, though, has actually been slapping. So their pizza, I'm kind of eh.

00:38:36 Speaker_03
Pasta Hut. Pasta Hut. I do. I like their fettuccine Alfredo. It just the way it comes. I enjoy it. Their pastas are so greasy to me. I can't. I like them, but they like they like make me sick. I've always found Domino's to be one of the lesser pizza chains.

00:38:51 Speaker_03
I always preferred like Pizza Hut. Marcos was really good. I don't know how big Marcos is, but it's a big. Little Caesars is one I love that I think it doesn't get the- Dude, Hot'n'Ready's? Dude, Hot'n'Ready's, Little Caesars were so good.

00:39:04 Speaker_03
Five dollar Hot'n'Ready, just walk in and grab yourself a pep. I got food here, speaking of. Alright, let's pretend to do a handshake deal when Mark comes back. Wait, I forget which side you're on. What did you do? Nothing.

00:39:16 Speaker_03
We pretended to make a deal, Mark. Don't worry about it. Alright, Bob, I cursed the ghost in your TV to kill you. That is all 10. I'm surprised Arby's didn't make the cut. There are a few that I'm surprised went on that.

00:39:28 Speaker_03
And Arby's is definitely one of them. They have the meats. I still would have thought Chipotle had the staying power, but I guess not.

00:39:34 Speaker_03
I will say the thing about Chipotle is the world has moved towards ordering everything for like delivery or Chipotle is almost as good as it used to be. If you go to the store and get your order in person.

00:39:45 Speaker_03
but they make the online orders so fucking terribly. They give you like half a scoop and they skimp out on stuff and it's gross. You go and watch them make it.

00:39:53 Speaker_03
The people that work in the store are great and they give you lots of fillings and it's delicious. Yep. Every time I've ordered double when it's online, it's never double. Never. Absolutely is not double. Editors, mute my microphone.

00:40:10 Speaker_03
You could just not make that noise. I think if you just glad that no one can hear me. All right, we're going to move on to a list that I think is harder, but I think is also more interesting.

00:40:20 Speaker_03
I did surprisingly bad on that one, so I can't wait to see what this one is. You came off to a really hot start and then Mark really clawed his way back. I thought you were going to walk away with that one.

00:40:28 Speaker_03
Give me the top 10 inventions of the 21st century. So this one is kind of more vague.

00:40:36 Speaker_03
This is not on there, but a good example would be if it was top 10 inventions of like the last 25 years or 30 years or whatever it is, the Internet, I'd be more like 40 years technically. But dude, I'm so dumb. I was like, so from 1900 to 2000.

00:40:49 Speaker_03
No, of the 21st century would be post millennium, post 2000. And that doesn't strictly mean that no version of this existed previously, because some of these really skirt that. I'll be honest. Modern, very modern inventions of the modern age.

00:41:08 Speaker_03
Now you can go first again, Wade. All right. Oh, sorry. All right. Well, you're eating. I thought you were busy. No, I agree. I'll go first because I think I only know of one. I don't even know if it counts. That's very generous of you, Wade. Go ahead.

00:41:18 Speaker_03
Social media. Social media is number three. All right. That's it. I'm tapping out. That's all I have. You know, come on. You you're this is your job. You know, stuff. Invention based on like metrics of users sales.

00:41:32 Speaker_03
My understanding is this is sort of a combination.

00:41:36 Speaker_03
A lot of these are things that are have become widely adopted, widely used, but some of them are more like just such a revolution that even though it's still in a growth in the growth phase, it's just like a remarkable invention of modern technology kind of thing.

00:41:51 Speaker_03
Well, up there's got to be smartphone. I just type that out as the one I was like, I'm going to try smartphones. God damn it. Smartphones is number two. Fuck. It's very exemplified by the iPhone, which released in 2007. Good work, Mark.

00:42:04 Speaker_03
What else you got, Wade? There is 100% chance that one of these is a thing that you know unquestionably. How about 3D printing? 3D printing is listed at number one. Damn, Mark, it's recent, but machine learning prize up there. Yeah.

00:42:22 Speaker_03
At number at number six, artificial intelligence slash machine learning. I feel like calling it A.I. is generous, but machine learning advancements in various fields in computing technology. Crypto.

00:42:35 Speaker_03
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are number four on this list. Oh, OK. The man who thinks he doesn't know anything still hasn't missed. I'm just pulling stuff out of my ass. Just think about modern things in your ass and they'll probably be pretty close.

00:42:52 Speaker_03
Okay, this one I believe is within the 21st century, but I might be wrong. I'm going to say lithium-ion batteries. That is a very good guess, but actually not on the list. That was when I was a little surprised to not make this.

00:43:05 Speaker_03
It probably actually was invented before also, like lithium-ion specifically probably was beforehand.

00:43:10 Speaker_03
I will say a couple of these that exist also were not strictly like they definitely existed pre 2000 in like unheard of niche circles that no one discovered until after it was invented in the you know, in the 21st century.

00:43:24 Speaker_03
Wade, your chance to take a commanding lead on this list. Non dial up internet. You mean like what's the light fiber optic Internet? You mean in particular? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

00:43:36 Speaker_03
Whenever it quit being a dial up service and they started using the other whatever. No. OK. Decent guess. I think that existed in the 90s, like technically DSL existed for a while before the year 2000. I think I got one. Oculus Rift, the VR. Oh, VR. OK.

00:43:53 Speaker_03
That's a very good guess. VR virtual reality is not on this list. Ah. The thing that makes hybrid cars hybrid, the plug in stuff, the battery, electric cars, electric car things.

00:44:12 Speaker_03
Yeah, I'm going to give it to you, Wade, because I think this one is sort of mislabeled. That is number seven on this list. It's listed as electric and self-driving cars. I think it means like modern EVs that have

00:44:26 Speaker_03
self driving features and things, but that is on here. That's one of the ones where I think that's kind of crazy because there was GM made an electric car in the 80s.

00:44:36 Speaker_03
There have been electric cars not mass produced by any stretch, but there have been electric cars for a couple decades prior to the year 2000. Wasn't there one that used like corn or something? I mean, are you talking about ethanol?

00:44:48 Speaker_03
Because ethanol has been added to gas for a long time. No, someone just really just, I think just literally tried to use corn. Are you talking about like biodiesel? No, corn.

00:44:58 Speaker_03
Uncle Jeb down the street doesn't count as a worldwide invention that's changed up the entire... I feel like you mean ethanol, but corn is not on the list. If you'll give me a point, then yes.

00:45:10 Speaker_03
No, well, you got this one anyway, but no, corn is not one on here, no. Uh, we need ten, nine, eight and five. We have specifically talked about number seven as a topic on this show. Hair.

00:45:27 Speaker_03
And we have definitely talked about the rest of the ones in passing. Like, these are things that that we are aware of. And oh, first of all, it's not my turn, but I'm all in for Mark. I'm helping you, buddy.

00:45:38 Speaker_03
Popular, popular, big, successful inventions, not Mark's inventions. No. Alright, it's not one of the meme topics we've discussed on this show. Ah, the James Webb Telescope.

00:45:54 Speaker_03
I don't think that one has come to fruition enough quite yet to guarantee that it's a modern Marvel, but I think it probably is. It has been generating science the likes of which we have not believed. But it has a lifetime of imagery to collect still.

00:46:09 Speaker_03
No, that's not on here. So space is not a bad place to think about one of these one of these connected to space. The rest of these very earthy. I'm going to ignore that hint and go with Fitbit smartwatches. That's an interesting one.

00:46:22 Speaker_03
But I feel like that probably gets wrapped into smartphones because it is not specifically separate on this list. Space phone. How about Starlink? That is like a better version of the thing that Wade guessed earlier about non dial up Internet.

00:46:36 Speaker_03
But it's also not Starlink. Sorry. I'm batting 0 for 17 here. The MCU! That's very space. No, but that does make me think of streaming services. It's it's kind of a plague, but also kind of influential, right? Oh, fuck. Streaming services is number five.

00:47:02 Speaker_03
Oh, damn it. Why did I give you that? That was my clue. I should get that specifically. I think this one's funny because it specifically says YouTube and other streaming services. Oh, YouTube, we're kind of on. Yeah, we are.

00:47:16 Speaker_03
That's that's kind of a big thing in our lives that we're probably pretty familiar with. So we're currently missing seven, eight and nine. I might disagree with it, but number nine I'm calling specifically has got to be Fortnite. I fucking wish it was.

00:47:31 Speaker_03
So all the rest of these are like inventions and science and I'm really bad fortnight. I mean fortnight, right? Do you guys see the marshmallow concert and fortnight? Oh man, crazy.

00:47:40 Speaker_03
I would say digital cameras, but I know for a fact the digital cameras were way prior to the 21st century. Yeah, those predate the 21st century by quite a lot. So why would you say that? What a dumb thing.

00:47:55 Speaker_03
I'll say the one that we spend a lot of time talking about in an in an episode is still on here. I'm sorry, Urid is one of the top inventions of all time, but I'm afraid that's not a 21st century invention. All right.

00:48:12 Speaker_03
How about like flat screen TVs or something like that? No, sorry. Do you want a hint, Wade? Medical stuff. Growing ears on mice and lasers. Plastics better. Medical stuff. If that's on there, but I can name, if I can name the specific thing, can I steal it?

00:48:30 Speaker_03
Yes. No. Wade, what you said is not on there. But medical stuff is an interesting direction to go in. CRISPR. Yeah, number seven is CRISPR gene editing. You're welcome for another softball, Mark. Thanks. Wait, I got the battery and you get the car.

00:48:48 Speaker_03
You didn't even say self-driving and he gave it to you. So I think I think we're even. I said electric car. You didn't say self-driving. It's electric, boogie woogie woogie woogie. I'm being very generous here.

00:48:59 Speaker_03
CRISPR, medical stuff, they're the same thing. Antigram. Rearrange the letter in medical stuff, you get CRISPR. Honestly, CRISPR is hardly medical at all. It's really more like experimental, if anything. That's what I was trying to say. Yeah, sure. Right.

00:49:12 Speaker_03
No, you were close. You were very close-ish. Wade, what's your next guess? You must have something just on the tip of your tongue. That vroom vroom on Mars. Rover survey says no, of course not. I was thinking space. Do you like all space?

00:49:30 Speaker_03
It's a good place to think one of the two we have left is definitely Space you want more hints? I have hints. No, no, no. Oh, no. No the space station I don't know if that predates the 21st century.

00:49:45 Speaker_03
I don't either, but it's what else is in space that we invented. What else is in space? Says the guy who loves space. No, that we invented. It's not the space station. That was launched in 1998. I just looked it up. You want a space hint, Wade?

00:49:58 Speaker_03
Oh, yeah, please. I don't know if it's gonna help you, but it might help, Mark. It won't. This is not something that stays in space, even though it goes to space. It's not one of Newton's laws. No, those stay in space. We'll stay right up there.

00:50:12 Speaker_03
Those orbit great. Oh god, the, the, the, the astronaut. He's right, he's right. As long as you discount everything that's happened since the 60s, up until the year 2000, astronauts may have been invented in the 21st century.

00:50:29 Speaker_03
No, clearly what you're referring to is... Oh, wait, what was that? It was Morse code. Did you understand it? I didn't want Mark to take my hint in case. I did, but you're incorrect, I think. That's close though, right?

00:50:43 Speaker_03
Are you talking about the Falcon 9 reusable rocket? Reusable commercial rockets. That's what I that's basically you misread my lips. The first time I watched a Falcon 9 land and then just still be standing there, I have my whole brain was like.

00:50:57 Speaker_03
I thought that was just gonna fucking explode or something like I didn't think this would actually work. Holy fuck.

00:51:03 Speaker_03
And it was it was also just as crazy seeing the the what is it the starship or get land on the little forky do that was wild just to know how big that thing is because the Falcon nine they had one in LA like as a standing structure and I stood next to it and I was just look up I was like

00:51:19 Speaker_03
That is so much bigger than you could ever imagine from the video. How the fuck did that land by itself? And the Starship is way bigger than that. Starship is crazy. They caught a building. That's what it literally is.

00:51:33 Speaker_03
Yeah, it's like a medium, small building that can land within like a, I don't even know, a precisely accurate point, basically. And it had like failing engines and it still did it. Two of the engines blew up and it was still like, I got this! Wham!

00:51:48 Speaker_03
Half on fire. It was crazy. I know what the last one is. Well, it's your turn. So that's perfect. It's so obvious memes Those are definitely invented pre 21st century. I didn't see him before that.

00:52:01 Speaker_03
Oh, you're right by the rules of you They were invented when you first saw them I'm gonna go and just clarify. No, we're still missing number 10. I don't particularly like this one, but it is an invention of the 21st century. Reusable condoms.

00:52:17 Speaker_03
Oh, that's the original condom was reusable. You kidding me? Get the old sheep's intestine out. We're getting lucky tonight. Kill the sheep. I'm feeling it. Markiplier! Sorry, I was invented in 89. Get with it. But Mark was.

00:52:31 Speaker_03
Markiplier didn't come out until 2012. That's true, you did invent Markiplier. I've been watching Markiplier since 2008, so. Wait, 2008? That's in the 21st century. What do you mean? I didn't start in 2008.

00:52:43 Speaker_03
Mark, I've been watching you on YouTube for 28 years. What are you talking about? Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. My apologies. I was still in the womb the first time I watched one of your videos. I'm dying of old age now.

00:52:52 Speaker_03
My great-grandchildren will never know the joys of Markiplier. God, I think I know what it is. No, it wouldn't be this. No, that wouldn't make any sense. I was going to say GMOs, but I don't think that's... I think the CRISPR takes that one over.

00:53:04 Speaker_03
I think GMOs probably technically predate the 21st century as well anyways. GMOs, even if they're bred that way, right? And so they've been selectively breeding commercial crop. I don't know. That's not it. That is a good guess.

00:53:15 Speaker_03
All right, Wade, I know you have a whole bunch of things here, which is desperate to get out because you're full of ideas. Chip Chop, let's go. Steam or whatever those like steam and epic launchers are. Oh, I thought you meant water vapor. No.

00:53:31 Speaker_03
Steam engines. I'm going to choose to go back to the 1900 to 2000 date range, and I'm going to go with steam engines, which is still be wrong, because I'm pretty sure that steam engines predate the 20th century. But no, it's not video games.

00:53:44 Speaker_03
It's unrelated to video games. But I appreciate the sentiment. MP3 player like iPod. Honestly, that's one that I did think would be on here, but that's not it either. Sex robots.

00:53:54 Speaker_03
That was a huge thing with the jump from CDs to MP3s and then the iPod like standardizing kind of how that worked and stuff. It was a big. The iPod was incredibly influential and that was 2001 or something. 2001? 2001, November 10th, 2001.

00:54:10 Speaker_03
And that was huge. Do you want a hint, Wade? I don't know if it'll save you. Yes. iPod is the correct company for this thing. Wasn't the watches. We've already covered phones, earbuds or wireless headphones. Nah. Oh, really?

00:54:26 Speaker_03
Wireless headphones existed before the 21st century. I believe they would have been more like RF wireless headphones or infrared wireless headphones or something, I think.

00:54:35 Speaker_03
But aside from the technology getting way more better and usable and worthwhile, I don't think that's actually new. The first truly wireless earbuds were in 2015, but there's been wireless headphones since even like 1960, there was a type.

00:54:48 Speaker_03
Is it the AirTag? That's another really interesting one. The very underrated technology, but it's not the AirTag. Wow. What else have they made? This might give it away. It's not hardware. Software. Apple invented software in 2012. You're right, Wade.

00:55:05 Speaker_03
It's not Siri, is it? Yeah, it's Siri. Why is this Siri up there? Technically, what this says is Siri slash voice assistance and smart home technology, which is just an unbelievably broad spectrum of things to count as one entry.

00:55:25 Speaker_03
And what a piece of shit technology tree. There was a point where I even thought of like Alexa and that stuff. And I was like, well, smart, let's let's just smartphone stuff.

00:55:35 Speaker_03
So I didn't even think that the fucking Internet of Things is the plagiarist of plagues to ever grace technology. No, that's that's definitely the one on this list that I was like, what a terrible thing.

00:55:47 Speaker_03
I liked my answer of sex robots that got ignored even more than that. Didn't get ignored. I heard it. I nodded my head in approval. No, I'm glad it got ignored because I would have just gotten it wrong sooner.

00:55:57 Speaker_03
I don't know if that was as fun for you and everyone listening and watching as I hoped it would be, but it's fun for me. It was super fun. It's interesting. It's very. And that's my main metric for these episodes.

00:56:08 Speaker_03
I had a bunch of other lists we didn't even get to, but I think those were some of the more interesting ones. And I really didn't think all the way through the fact that the tech one was skewed heavily against Wade.

00:56:17 Speaker_03
So I'm going to just get a chuck on a fairness point for you there, buddy. He started out strong. I did. I had a lot of good early tech on almost all those lists. You started getting nailing the first few and then really struggled.

00:56:30 Speaker_03
That's the end of the episode. Thank you for participating. I'm going to read your scores now, and the person whose name I read first is the loser.

00:56:40 Speaker_03
Wade, you scored points for Baldness, Liftless Jason, Pokemon Poster, The Pan Excretes Butter, Woes, Harvey Feud, or Family Steve. Good guess. bad guess, and fairness.

00:56:56 Speaker_03
Mark, you earned points for boldness, eBay forklift, 50 bucks, takeaway gas stove Biden, electrical engineering student, ghosts, ice cream, restaurants, and tech. Mark really dominated the list. You won all three of the lists that we did.

00:57:15 Speaker_03
Ultimately, Mark, that earned you a total of nine points. Yes. And Wade, did I lie? No, I didn't lie. Wade, you got eight points, making you the loser. I was really excited because I was like, oh man, I know he's going to pull the rug out from under me.

00:57:29 Speaker_03
I'm going to pull it out from under someone, probably the loser. I know I lied last time, but I promised I would never lie again today. At least for today, you're safe. Or anyway, you lost. Mark, winner's speech. This was surprising to me.

00:57:43 Speaker_03
I thought Wade, with his UDF experience, would have a much broader knowledge, but that might have hindered him because he had too many flavors in his mind. I only had the most popular. It did. UDF has such a wide variety of flavors. It did hinder.

00:57:55 Speaker_03
asking who? But I came back, my persistence and my perseverance got me to the finish line and to victory and I only owe that to myself. Thank you, me, for supporting me through all of my troubles, me. You're welcome, me.

00:58:12 Speaker_03
This is the- I've talked to my audience over the years, and that's the kind of acceptance speech I want people to give when they win awards, is to be like, I couldn't have done this without my talent, my work, my preparedness, and my dedication.

00:58:24 Speaker_03
I'd like to thank me above all. I don't think the man upstairs had anything to do with it, why would he care? Family, don't call me when I'm working. Me, great job. To my beautiful wife Susan, stop fucking calling me when I'm on set, okay? I'm busy.

00:58:38 Speaker_03
Overcooked pork chops didn't help me during that interview. See this? This means I was right and you need to make- you need to get a hobby. I'll be home later, hon. Thanks, me. Great speech, Mark. Congratulations to you. Uh, wait, loser speech.

00:58:53 Speaker_03
I'd like to thank you guys for being a part of this and allowing me the chance to participate. I'd like to thank nobody else because they clearly didn't fucking help me. I lost. I'm a loser. I suck. 13 lashes for me later on today. That's it. I don't know.

00:59:08 Speaker_03
I just like to imagine that modernly 13 lashes means that someone plucks out 13 of your eyelashes. The tweezers. I don't want things near my eyes. Leave my eyes alone. 13 lashes. You said it. Yeah. Fun times all around.

00:59:20 Speaker_03
Thanks for participating in my list of sowed lepsis cyst episodes. Yeah, it doesn't work. Thanks for participating in my thing. I did. We have a merch distractible store.com. I am my skirm weight is Lord minion 777 or minion 777. Mark is Mark Plyar.

00:59:33 Speaker_03
You already knew that Mark will host the next one and we are out of here. Podcast out. Yippee.
