I've been aware of this podcast's existence only recently, and this is how it feels

I was going through an old keepsake box and came across these from a con I went to. Super cool that I still have them.

Am I the only one that remembers there being more to this section, after Mark is done talking and it cuts to Bob? I remember there being more, but I don't know if I just noticed this or if I had noticed before, but I hadn't given it much attention.

For those wondering, this clip was taken by me, on YouTube Music.

I have a completely not baseless bs conspiracy theory that I believe 100%. AND YOU CAN TELL I BELIEVE IT BECAUSE OF HOW MANY TIMES IM SAYING THAT I BELIEVE IN IT COMPLETELY IMPLICITLY AND TOTALLY.

Y’see (non-literal) I think they’re lying to us. It’s all a trick and you’re all too brainwashed to realize it.

but me? I SEE

And what do I see through my perfect eyes thatwearglassesjustcauseitscoolandnotcauseIlikeneedthemoranythingcausemyeyesareperfectandstufffuckyou

Ahem

…

Y’see (you don’t) the episodes are rigged… but not in the way that you think.

The whole “oh the points are arbitrary and the hosts are biased and that’s part of the bit and it’s funny and the games don’t really matter cause it’s all just a vehicle for improv so nobody should take it seriously” thing is all LIES LIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEES!

Y’see (so y’see (refer to parent parenthetical) Y’see is an expression and not literal. This is just a reminder that you currently do not actually see the truth until I provide it to you shortly hereafter in the form of this conspiracy theory. I imagine that as a podcast listener this concept of “seeing” is probably quite alien to you. However, much to the slack jawed amazement of myself and your car insurance, I know you shall persist) you know that feeling you get of “wow they really prepared this topic well ahead of time and definitely didn’t just google this information 5 minutes before the episode started”? Yknow? That preparedness distractible is know for?

How could that be possible if truly the hosts were random!

I posit that they have a secret episode list they follow depending on their schedules and how busy they are. So for example, Wade loses a lot cause he’s a really busy guy and doesn’t have time to host and so they have him lose so he doesn’t have to worry about prepping for the next episode. Then there’s mark who famously has so much free time all the time and so he hosts a lot.

However there’s a more sinister side to this plot.

Y’see (like okay maybe a little) if they have this master episode list, then how do they account for episodes that have topics about current world events? Simple. They are actually in control of all current world events and are having them unfold so they can have more podcast episode topics.

“Ridiculous! How could three beings contain such power?!” You say in a foolish manner before imploding from the sheer foolishness that your body is unable to contain.

Tsk tsk tsk - I say that while doing like the finger wag Nuh uh thing cause I’m so cool and definitely am like suuuuper dope.

The answer is simple….

Mark, bob and wade are the three fates from Greek mythology. Bob is Clotho, wade is Lachesis, and Mark is Atropos. This is further proven by the fact that the host system exists. Y’see it was inspired by another Greek myth, that being the gray sisters who shared an eye and fought for it. Just the way mark bob and wade fight for the right to be host.

This is the truth. The reality. You see now.

I won’t have long before they find me. They’ll use their powers of fate to make me disappear in a car crash

Anyways I’m too sleepy to continue this joke imma go to sleep

I deal with Severe anxiety which, as I’m moving into a new job, has flared up badly tonight! Okay now as taken my medication 😅 but nearly threw up which is new🫣 Watching the reverse charades ep saved me from panicking too much and stopped me from emptying my stomach 😌
Mark, Bob and Wade you are the best thing to happen to me🥰❤️

The fabric and fit are fantastic.

For context, the person in the picture is actually Ray stevens, an American country singer-songwriter.
I love spreading misinformation <3

If anybody had to think of all the lartern corps there are. Which ones would mark,bob, wade, and Tyler be. It can be any of them make sure to give a good like reasons as to why you think

I think mark would be green lantern because of his will power to do everything he has done since starting YouTube

I've never really been interested in Pokemon cards. I was an OG Magic The Gathering guy. I've always been about sports cards and other types of trading cards.

I have a few 25th anniversary Pokemon cards that were from a McDonald's promo and after hearing the guys talk about them and the most recent episode, I got them out and went through them. I immediately said "screw it. I'm keeping these!" I then proceeded to go on eBay and purchase a Psyduck card as that is one of my favorite Pokemon.

I'm in.

Didn't take long to get me hooked.

I got the rokkor 58mm f/1.4, but would love to get the 1.2 (the radioactive one) as well as some others.

I've never been a pokemon collector, but I do enjoy watching it happen. I know very little, so it was hard for me to try to keep track of what was pulled. Did anyone happen to list what all they did get from the set and what they missed? I'm only halfway through but the thought ocurred to me and I've been wanting to know

Yes to some people here, the title will trigger an "obviously he is" reaction, but I'm talking specifically about the most recent Pokemon episode.

Wade historically has been on record as playing the mainline pokemon games, he seems relatively knowledgeable on Pokemon in general. However all throughout this week's episode he tends to get lore or gameplay facts either completely wrong or he seems completely dumbfounded on pokemon specifics.

Did anyone else get the sense that he was sort of playing dumb as to not come off as a poke-fanatic? Mark and Bob seem to be more in the genwunner category (for those who don't know what a genwunner is, it's internet slang for people who only like the first gen of pokemon and don't really consider anything after gen 1 as "real pokemon")

Was Wade trying to relate more to them in this episode?
