Hello and welcome back to the world's most average podcast. Man, that's the down way to start. I feel better about us than that. Let's be honest. We're not the best, but we're pretty good. We're better than average.
Uh-huh. We can be the most above average. Oh. Someone's gotta be number one most above average. That's definitely where we would fall. We are the most above average. Least outstanding? No, that doesn't sound good. Least underwhelming podcast. Most in standing. That's good. Ooh. You can guarantee at least a solid whelm.
From an episode of this show. And this show is called Distractable. If you've never seen it before, I'm hosting today because I won the last episode, and my two friends who are here with me are going to be competing to see who gets to host the next one. I'm going to give out points. The points are calculated very scientifically and not at all a bunch of random bullshit. There's also wheel spins. There's a coin situation, which I'm sure. We'll play a big part in today's episode or we'll forget about completely. But anyway, uh now that you understand the rules and all their explicit and wonderful details, uh, let's say hello to Mark and Wade, today's competitors. Mark, you
go first. Okay, hello. My name is Mark of the YouTube channel Markiplier. Yes, that Markiplier.
Ha ha ha.
The merch is sold out. It's all gone again. So don't even bother looking. You are too late. If you're just listening to this and you don't get to the end of the episode, you always tune out beforehand. Uh there was merch, it's gone now. So sorry about that. You gotta really want that stuff. You
gotta get you gotta be there. You don't even have to get there on time. You have to already be there if you want merch. Yeah, pretty much. That's the way this works. And also, Wade is here. It
means nothing that you're second Wade. You're just as important. I wasn't reading into it 'til you said that, and I'm thinking about it a little bit. I'm Wade and
friends from that hit YouTube channel Market Flyer. You mean too bird of Hit?
I don't think I've used the and friends moniker in ages. I think that you're being a beautiful. Thank you. I mean, you did it, but it wasn't really a thing that I felt like you ascribed. It's everyone else. No, yeah. It was the it was the PAX panel people that called it the Mark and Friends.
The very first panel was just you and me, and it was called Mark and Friends.
It was just two of us and they were like, Hey, you count as more than one friend. That has to be a compliment. The friend's so nice you friended twice. Do you remember one of the packs is Bob where you and I were both there?
It wasn't our first time doing a panel. It was like our second or third time at least on a panel with Mark. And uh we went to go on stage and you know Mark walked through and then the two guys like immediately out of nowhere just stepped and stopped you and I. And they were like, Yeah, we don't allow camera crew on stage and we're like, We're on the panel. Did that happen?
I don't remember that.
Yeah, it did. Damn. And the enforcers were like, These guys are not following him to the stage.
