What is the premise of the "Try New Things" episode and how do the hosts introduce the show?
Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to Distractable. This episode, Wapping Wade has yet more plumbing problems, then encourages Joinavive. Missionary Mark prepares a perfect prank, gets smashed, and recommends Amdram, but not the Art of Thespis. The calmed Bob plays magic games with his progeny and is converted to coasters, catawalling, and prone. Peddling. From Star Wars to Buzzing Bud. Yes. It's time for Try New Things. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Distractable. I'm today's host, Wade, joined as always by my co-host Mark and Bob in the show where one of us hosts, the other two compete for points, and the person with the most points, usually, at the end gets to host the next episode. Usually. I'm
not ready. It's
too late.
I'm double ready. I'll take Mark's readiness points, thank you. Hold
on. Alright, readiness point for Bob. Oh god, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, I can't have to mark a second ready point. How long you need, man? Uh so long. Oh man, I need so long. Alright, well I guess that's the second readiness point. That was not the correct answer, believe it or not. They're going to me, right? Yeah. No. I can give you a negative readiness point.
Oh, but that would make me unready. I'm so ready. Are you sure? No ready. Great. Hold on. Uh we're holding. I have to make a mission critical purchase.
It's mission critical. Oh, he said mission critical. That's that does mean something. For
what?
I don't know what, I just know that it means it's
mission critical. Is
it food? It's food, isn't it?
It's mission critical almost. Almost there. Yep.
What mission? Hall
on your ass.
I feel like you're R2 D2 and I'm Luke trying to figure out what message you're hiding about Princess Leia. Bam! Done. Wasn't that easy.
Already?
Man, oh man, am I gonna have to say your name first on the points at the end?
Oh boy, not a great start. Don't worry, you'll be saying my name last. I'll be saying my own name last, don't you worry. Uh we'll see. If you remember to do that at the end. When I'm screaming my own name at the end of this episode, you're gonna see. You're gonna see.
We just slowly watch you devolve as the episode goes on, the end you Mark, why Mark? Well before we get to that point, how are you? Me?
I'm good. The both you. I'm good. I am great. Good and great. Great and good.
That's so convincing. Are you good or great? Boom! Okay. Bob, how are you
doing? I'm good. I have a new Apple Watch band. You wanna see it? Good. It's magnetic. Wow. Look how low profile it is.
I thought you meant the way it stuck to your wrist was because it was magnetic and you had a metal wrist.
But dude, if I could get an implant where the watch is stuck to my wrist on a I would consider it. Uh no, I wouldn't do that. Uh maybe. Metal's good for you. I'd consider it. As much as I have a thing about phone cases, I have a thing about Apple Watch bands. I hate how thick they all are. Watch bands in general are very thick.
Yeah.
I don't like a thick band. And this is like the most low profile watch band. Like it's just it's thin. Look how thin it is. And floppy. And magnetic. It's lovely.
That does look nice. I I can't do the Apple watches anymore because for some reason they cut off some kind of circulation in my wrist and it just ends up hurting after a while. Oh
really?
I have yet to be able to get used to it. I mean, I wore it for a long period of time. It took like a month or two to get really used to, but then ever since I lost one for a while and tried to get back into it, I just wasn't able to. I think this is because they're getting too big and I always get the big one, and I really should just go for a small one. And now they can't even measure your heart anymore.
No, they maybe can. I think they fixed that on the new generation. Can they? I don't I don't actually know that for sure. I think they fixed that.
I don't know.
I don't know. Anyway, that's how good I'm doing.
I think jump right in if you guys have nothing interesting to talk about though.
No, no, no, no. I I I got stuff. What would you like to know?
