This episode, bureaucratic Bob sleuths a screen situation, then forces his friends to guess the worth of the worthless. Wanking Wade allows Penthouse has power problems, but knows his toast. Marvelling Mark has heat-related performance issues, then snaps up a squirtum strap, scarlet snot, and a ridden rubber. From porking pigs to Annie's huge helmet. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

It's time for The Cost is Correct. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractible. And I promise, this is the only time during this entire episode that we're going to mention pig orgasms. I am your host, my name is Bob, and I'm joined as ever by my two competitors for today and pro-maybe-host of next time. One of them, I guess, is how that works. Wade and Mark are here. I'm not saying the beginnings of these episodes have been off-putting.

But I feel slightly off put. It's a one and only time. So everyone keep that in mind. Dear Penthouse. Dear Penthouse Forum. I can't believe it happened to me. I'm shocked people even understand that reference because I don't even know. It's not even like my generation that that's from. No, that was like a joke. My dad and like his age make Gen X, I guess, is the generation generation.

that that is almost. Older Gen X. Is Penthouse even still around anymore? I know a lot of magazines are basically on the way out, so no idea. I'm not going to Google that just like I'm not going to Google Ashley Madison because I don't want that on my search history. Who's looking at your search history?

the government yes penthouse magazine still exists and is available in both print and digital formats apparently so it does still exist i don't know if you guys remember back in the torrenting days but i had a program called kazaa oh i've never heard of this there's a radio station i think i don't know that these dudes are still on it but if you heard of bob and tom you guys probably heard of bob and tom right yeah yes

Okay, well, on top of their Mr. Obvious skits, which I liked, there was a song called Dear Penthouse that was on Bob and Tom. And I listened to that in like the early 2000s. And every time I hear you guys say Dear Penthouse, like during that episode, I just thought of that song the whole time. I know the whole song still after 25 years or whatever. I don't know anything about Penthouse magazine. I only knew about it because of that song. That's fair. I think I only know about it from like

80s and 90s movie references where characters would make jokes about writing the penthouse forum. I don't even know when they would have been doing that as far as like publishing articles that other people put in there. That's what that joke is for those who don't get it. But also at the same time, people probably know that about it, right? Yeah, people know things. We're young. Our references are hip.

Yeah, what's up fellow youths? I just had my 12 year YouTube anniversary, which is kind of wild. Old, old, I've only been doing it for four. You've been doing it longer than me, you bitch. I've been watching you since 2007. Yeah, that's not true. I've been watching you since the womb. No, no, no, that was, that was smosh, that wasn't me.

I don't even know who you are. Get out of my house. Yeah, we've been doing this a long time. We're old. No. Who do you mean, we? I'm glad people liked that episode. I was a little bit worried that that went on too long, but I can't control the dice. But I was like, man, this is a long bit.

bit you know how you can control the dice is by not inviting them into our games in the future that's how you can control them people love dice they love random chance they love the wheels only you don't like them because they never work out for you everyone and especially me loves dice you all love dice okay roll one right now let's see what the odds are what am i what am i roll a 20 or i hate dice

let me guess it's not a 20 that's a 17 bullshit if i saw 20 i was gonna cheat and roll it to 20 but i didn't even see the 20 so i wasn't gonna try it i respect that i'm gonna give you a didn't cheat because lazy point oh man 17 20 was right there i just didn't see it because it was facing away from me oh

Oh man, what are we doing? What are we doing? I don't know. Everyone knows what we're doing. This is distractible. I'm the host, which means I'm the judge and you guys are trying to get points or less points. Maybe it's the golf score episode. I probably not. We're getting more unhinged as this year goes on. We're finally getting unhinged. That's where this podcast is going up until this recently. It's been very straight laced and made sense completely. So hinged. Look at my hinge.

To be fair, I said more unhinged. That's why they call us the door of podcasts. Because we're hinged.

Oh, I think you said Dora and I was like, knock or no knocking. But now we're the Dornado of podcasts. Hinges are long gone. The reference only we know. I know, that's literally a reference no, like five other people in the entire world might remember. God, I can't believe that rant didn't make it onto something that didn't get described.

corrupted for something that doesn't actually exist out there and only a reference to it. It is, it is right up there in media about that right up there with tribute, you know, the song about the greatest song in the world. We have a tribute of the greatest bit in the world that no one else will ever hear.

That was the original Bob's fridge. That was. Yeah, it really was. I think I might have been angrier. It was a shorter burst of anger. So it was more concentrated than Bob's fridge was. I don't remember what you were mad about, but I remember it was really funny. I was just tired. We were just trying to give a post show like interview for we were doing the behind the scenes and I was just fucking exhausted and everyone was just jerking around.

My seat was uncomfortable because usually we did those in like the green room or in our somewhere backstage or whatever. And that one, it was like, it was busy everywhere. So we were like, quick, cram in the bus. We'll do it in the bus. And I just got a bad seat. Just had a bad time. I'm sorry, man. I always regret that there's not a video of that.

Oh, well. No one will ever know how good it was. Or wasn't. Anyway, uh... Excuse you? There was dust on it. There was a hair on it, so I blew it off while I was putting it away. I thought you were about to then take that and slide it into the world's largest NES console. I miss tech like that. But it's actually cake.

It turns on, Mario starts playing, and then you cut the TV and the NES into pieces. Okay, like, whoa, what the fuck? I bet I can get an AI to render that video. Yeah, except it'll have, like, nine arms. Games don't even have arms. You take the good with the bad. Man, sugar-free. Red Bull is not the same. It really hits you right in the area. Anyway, you guys got small talk? How you doing? How you been? How's it going? I have a disaster.

Oh. Go on. So, you know, on the last episode, I was saying that my render farm is working. I don't want to ruin the illusion for people, but you mean like 40 minutes ago? Yeah, well... When you bragged about how your render farm was working. Well, I said it in there because...

I knew that if I got into it, it would be a longer thing, so I didn't want that to be part of it. It has not been going as good as I may have suggested it was going. Oh, no. Go on. This is an issue that me and there's an IT guy that's helping me out with setting some of it up. He's doing more of the software side, getting things to actually work.

arranged in that capacity. And so one of the persistent problems is a server that I bought, which is a density, like a high density server. It's four nodes in like a two unit thing. They're long, but it's meant to cram as much process power into small phase as possible. The issue with that is not in me putting it together. It's not in the water cooling that I set up because in the compact space, you need water cooling or else it's gonna overheat. They're so crammed in there. And so you need an external water cooling solution. All that works.

But after all that work that I've put in, and I probably put in like 100, 200 hours into just setting up those parts of it with all the water cooling pieces in there, there's still a persistent performance problem. The chips themselves are fine. They come back and all the checks come together. But what it's boiled down to is the specific server brand that it is has not put out an

update to the chipset for those processors. And that's just something that is, I don't know if there's a way to just go directly to the Intel makes the processors and go like, Hey, you got drivers, give them to me. Or if it's something where you have to kind of like,

Figure out a way to program it in yourself. You got to get the chipset drivers from the manufacturer of the processor, and then they integrate with the board. But there's a problem. The longer you use them, the more the performance just starts to go... And then eventually it locks up so bad you can't use it. How long...

Is this like if you do it for a couple days or is this like- 10 minutes, 15 minutes is about the time it starts to- Ooh, that's not long enough. That's not long enough to do. I was like, yeah, you could just reset it every night. So I thought this would have resolved. I've done like BIOS updates. I've done, you know, firmware updates. I've done every update that I can that is provided by the manufacturer of the server. The end result, I think, and I'm in communication to like do a big return,

is to do a different server platform. There's another company, and I'm not naming any of them because I don't know if one works or not. Okay, Asus servers, I'm gonna say, are the ones that are not working right now in this specific use case. They have worked in other things that I've done before, Asus or whatever it's called. And so Gigabyte makes an equivalent product that has also the hyperdense four unit thing. But I have to undo all the water cooling. I literally have to unbuild everything I've built

to pull it out of the computers, box those back up, return these giant hundred pound gigantic boxes, and then get new ones and rebuild all the bullshit all over again, which took me, ow, days, weeks. - This sounds like the kind of server I wouldn't leave a tip, and I always leave a tip. - Give him a point. - All right, all right, all right, Mark said so. - Have you thought about talking to the server's manager?

I am the manager. That sucks though, that really sucks. - It's a big pain in the ass because as far as I know, it should work, they read fine. When they're working, the performance is exactly where it should be, all is lining up, it's not overheating. I even thought that it might've been one of the peripheral components in the server overheating. At one point I had a graphics card in there, a very small compact one. I took that out because I thought it was overheating. Apparently it was not the problem.

either and no other peripheral in there because the fans are very loud i do the water cooling also to try to quiet it down a bit they're running at full bore and still just crashing i think it's just because the chipset is not updated to run with those processors there's some kind of paging file system memory system error that's building up over time that's causing like consecutive errors that run into each other and then eventually it freezes sounds a little a sus

Nope. Nope. No. I give myself one for whatever that's worth. But anyway, so that's the latest. It's not all Sunshine Roses, but half of the other Render Farm is still working. It's just those hyper dense ones that are not working, which are the most recent edition. And it's something I can return. It's just like, that's ours. I don't have...

Not devastating, but it's unfortunate. Just means I got to undo a lot of work and redo it. But it'll probably be fine once you redo it. It'll probably work then. Yeah, it probably will, maybe. But I do know that the Gigabyte servers do have a more recent BIOS update than ASUS did. ASUS's last BIOS update is not only last year, but it's like mid last year. Whereas

Gigabyte has a BIOS update that you can apply to the server as of earlier this year, which is after the processors actually launch. So I know that the old BIOS is not current as of the processor's release date, and these ones on the other server are. So ideally that should work because the processors are fine.

Probably. Great small talk. Thanks for suffering. I believe in you, buddy. Your agony has provided a lot of content over the years, Mark. Thank you. Can't wait to provide more whenever I get into 3D printing deeper because that probably is my next hyper fixation. And oh boy, I can't wait. I've already had problems with this one here and it works great. And there's still been a lot of problems. I myself am also having tech problems.

And I'm not the tech guy. You guys are the tech guys. I really wanted to do a spit take with my Red Bull there, but then I realized I would just be spraying it all over my monitor and...

and you could have some more tech problems you would have at least gotten a bonus point for that maybe you're right i probably would have but i'll get i'll make it up on the back half guys these monitors they all three are on and they're working and only once a week do i have to turn my computer off unplug everything for 20 minutes plug it back in and turn it on for them all three to work it's normal yeah i don't

I understand. It's normal. I reached out to LG and I was like, why is this happening to me? And they went through all these questions. They're like, do you have three of this model? Yep. They all work. Yep. They worked at the same time. Yep. These two work together. Those two work together. These two work together, but they don't all three always work together. Yep. That's it. Wait a minute.

Do you have enough power? I assume so, because right now they're all three working. But that's that might be the thing, because those monitors do require a lot of power. I know I think about this a lot because the power draw in my server is actually a big concern, which is why I overkilled it. But even now, with 240 volt circuits and stuff like that, I have to be very cognizant of the power with three monitors and a high powered computer and a NAS. And don't you have another computer in there?

He does. Oh yeah, there's two computers, four monitors, one with the other computer, camera, this, lights. That's a lot of power. Do you only have one circuit running to that room? I believe I have two. Are they plugged into the two? Do you know which plugs are the ones on the different ones? Well, let me tell you. Other computer and monitor, sonology, are all on one.

Everything else is on the other. Except for the lights. Lights are kind of spread out. How big is the power supply on your computer? Is it a 1600? They're an easy way to check without having to bend over and look at my computer. No, you kind of have to go look at it. Yours is probably under the shroud, under the bottom of the case too, if I had to guess. So you'd really have to look at the back of the thing. I always get more power than I think I need. What's your graphics card? The 4090. It's probably a pretty big power supply. It's probably a 1600-watt power supply. It's probably quite large. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't get it, man. A house circuit is only 1,800 watts you can pull out of it. It can do more, but then you risk tripping the fuse. What Mark is saying is you should plug a couple, if not all, of your monitors into the other circuit on an extension. I also have my computer plugged into a battery backup. That definitely limits your power. That can only put out so much power. Do you have your monitors plugged into the UPS, too? No, just the computers.

It's probably a straight pass through then. It's probably still just load on the whole circuit because those batteries usually are passed through unless they detect something. Yeah, and so far I've had no issues with that. No, I don't think, but I don't know, man. I'm just tired of having to do that every single week because it's like a 20, 30 minute process. And sometimes I don't have that kind of time.

Also, I haven't found a way to stop the monitors from like going to sleep or turning themselves off. And sometimes the issue is if one of the monitors goes to sleep, it don't wake back up. And that's when I have to unplug and redo everything. Mark might be on to something. I might be on to something.

Okay, maybe it is power. But LG, I went through all these questions with them. They didn't ask about power of all things. They were like, they probably assumed this guy's probably got the power necessary for it. Are they plugged into electricity? Check. Yeah, well, I talked to the person and they were like, this is more than I usually deal with. Let me get my manager. So I talked to the manager and whoever else too. And they were like, you know what you need to do? Who makes your graphics card? And I was like, well, it says Republic of Gamers. So you know who that means? Mark's favorite company right now. And they were like,

You should reach out to them. They can solve our monitors not working. And I was like, uh... Ah, the classic must-be-there problem. So I reached out, and I actually never heard back from their tech support team, ever. The number one customer service solution followed closely there by the number two customer service solution of...

don't return that one they're working they're working right now they work great when they work but man once a week unplug everything sit here fucking myself for 20 minutes plug them back in that middle part doesn't seem like it's necessary I'll see you past the time that would also make sense why two does work because that probably means that two but not three of them tucks right under the power potentially I

I don't know. Would it pop the breaker, though? Or would you just have weird malfunctioning stuff because you'd be starving something for power? I don't know how that works with electricity. I don't know.

Anyway, Mark's probably white. Mark's probably white, Wade. What? Excuse me. Mark's probably white. I knew it. You should plug your monitors in somewhere else. I will try that. The power has been mentioned. Have you ever happened to notice? Does it happen when they're like, there's a lot of shit happening, so the monitors might be operating at peak power?

Something no the first time it happened. I literally launched a game from steam I launched I launched once human and then one of them went off and never came back on after that No, it's just literally I'll turn my computer on and then only two of the monitors will work or if the monitors go to sleep Shake my little mouse and then only to come back on and I'll go into like Nvidia control or display It's like only two monitors detected. Well, there's a third one plugged in here didn't if I nope that doesn't exist. I

Sounds like you might not have enough power. This is unrelated to anything, but I really want someone to make a computer mouse that makes the noises that the rat from Rat Shaker makes every time you move it. You could just have it in the background as you do anything in there. Yeah.

I can't believe you voiced that character without even telling us you were going to be in the game, Mark. I thought a lot of people were like, oh, this sounds just like you. I was like, that's Takahata. I swore. He even DM'd me afterwards. I was like, I thought it was me too, and I forgot that I did something. You guys know who Takahata is? I think so. That name sounds familiar. He voiced pretty much everything. He voiced a lot of the Team Four Star stuff. He was Cell, you know. Yeah, that's okay. That's what I thought. He's now a VTuber.

Yeah, I watched the DBZ abridged with the creator director's cut or whatever it was where they did commentary. Yeah, yeah. Well, good small talk, everybody. Help us, Bob. Help, help.

I have an episode. Mark, your last episode idea gave me another, a new episode idea. Bob's hyper fixation. Kind of. This is really sort of, this is a hyper fixation, but I want to talk about this because I think it's weird and not in a judgmental way because you can like whatever you want and I certainly wouldn't begrudge anyone. I just think it's weird how much people are willing to spend on

Today, I want to talk about celebrity memorabilia. Lots of, I don't know about lots. Some people are willing to spend untold amounts of money on things like one of Lady Gaga's broken acrylic nails from her Born This Way tour and so on. And like, I get that people collect things and maybe you love a celebrity. Is there a celebrity for you guys where

where you're like, "Oh, if I just had their autograph, oh, that'd be cool. I'd love to have that." Does this connect with you at all on any level? - Not really. I don't really look up to any celebrity at all or really ever have. There probably are some exceptions. - Most of them are short. - No, stop. No, it's the opposite. It's the opposite. Stop!

What the fuck was that? Sorry, I don't know what that was. Wait, it's where your laugh finally happened! It's just like pure Dr. Evil. Now somehow it's less. No, it's less now. That fucked my sinuses up though. Something is horribly wrong inside my head now.

You should get that deviated septum fixed. That's what you need to do. Ah, surgery. Who needs it? Molly had that. She's in pain. I don't want that. Molly had that. Didn't fix nothing. This is not a thing that I particularly understand either. But like I said, collect what you want to collect. Lots of people like things that are not interesting to me. Even Shakira, man. It's like, I wouldn't. What would I do with it? I remember there's like the weird out eBay song was like Shatner's old toupee I found on eBay. And it's like, why would you want? What do you do with that?

I don't know. But what I do want to talk about more particularly, now that I know you guys are both experts on this topic, is I want to play the game of the price is right-ish on celebrity memorabilia that has sold. But we're going to do it as like a back and forth highball.

higher lower so someone gets to go first i will tell you if it's higher or lower than that and we'll zero in and i don't know if we're going to go all the way to the exact number we're going to zero in until i'm satisfied that we're in the ballpark enough if we nail it like dead on do we automatically win the episode it's it's prices it's double showcase rules if you guess the exact price of a thing you instantly win

I'll even say the episode is instantly over. Editors, if someone guesses the exact price, the moment I look at the camera and go, that's correct, that's exactly...

Black screen episode. Don't wait for me to do anything. Just mid-sentence. Just, yeah. And no Googling. This is one where these are such specific things. You could definitely find out the answers by Googling. That's fair. But here we go. In the year 2000, one lucky NSYNC fan got the opportunity of a lifetime because they got to have an breakfast interview on a radio station live with Justin Timberlake and

And the fan was taken even more by surprise when JT didn't eat his French toast and just left it on the plate. And they thought to themselves, as any of us might, well, I better take the French toast with me. They then sold that French toast at

auction french toast he didn't eat didn't touch it was just sat in front of him for an entire i'm assuming not very long interview breathed on it this was this was french toast that was in the presence of jt it felt how back sexy was even before everyone else knew that's not even a collectible you could keep because food okay go on how much did this french toast sell for

At auction. How much was French toast in the year 2000? Like 30 cents? I don't know. How much is a gallon of milk these days? $10? I have a guess. Marcos first. $1,324. $1,324.

I thought the episode was going to end right there. I thought I had that good. I was really honestly hoping it would, but no lower, lower, sorry. $87 and 50 cents higher. No, man.

$284. Higher. $726. Higher. So I was close? You were very close, Mark. Whoa! Yeah, that's why I cringed. There was a reason that I was like, huh? $1,221. Lower. Okay, so I wasn't that close. You were fairly close for a blind guess. $1,150. Lower. $1,095. $1,095.

Lower. $1,066. Higher. $1,054.79. Lower. Oh, damn it. $1,040.22. Lower. $10,2289. Higher. Fuck, come on. $10,27.

1025! 1025! Episode ends? No. I don't think it counts after we do the higher and lower. It's sort of the first guess is where that really... That was for French toast that you could keep for like a day and then you'd have to throw out anyway. That doesn't make any sense. 19-year-old who apparently won the bidding war on the French toast said, I'll probably freeze dry it and then seal it and keep it on my dresser.

Again, not here to judge what other people might enjoy in their lives. I would not be interested in having that anywhere in my life, but I hope you enjoyed your thousand dollar French toast. You know the show Hey Arnold, where Helga like would have Arnold's gum and she made like a shrine of gum. That is less weird to me than the French toast.

And they ended up together after all. It was true love, I think, didn't they? It's okay, guys. This next one is something that, yes, it's memorabilia, but also it's really useful. Yeah.

In 2008, Scarlett Johansson appeared on The Tonight Show. At some point during her time on the show, she needed to blow her nose. After leaving behind some lipstick and also some nose boogers, she signed the tissue and sealed it in a bag and left it.

Where'd it go? Oh, and took it with her. She claimed that Samuel L. Jackson had given her the cold, thus making the tissue even more valuable. She'd go on to put it on eBay to sell it and donate the proceeds to charity.

Oh, she did this. She did this. She signed it. There's a picture of her on the show. She signs it. She puts it in a bag on TV, takes it, puts sales on eBay, donates to charity. How much money did Scarlett Johansson slash Samuel L. Jackson's germs get to donate to charity in

in 2008 wade gets to go first on this one all right 2008 that was like the housing financial crisis money was tight scarlett johansson charity ups the value just because people be like i'll spend more because it's for a good cause the french toast was a thousand they didn't even touch it a tissue with her snot and lipstick and samuel jackson disease that's gotta be like eight thousand seven hundred thirty four dollars lower

Financial crisis. Financial crisis. In 2008. So I'm thinking like she was in the first Iron Man, I believe. That was like the second one, wasn't it? Where she fights Happy in the intro of the whole thing. That's the start of the second one where the S.H.I.E.L.D. guys are trying to... But she wasn't even MCU yet. Okay, so yeah. But she was in several movies, so... I mean, she was already famous. The MCU didn't make Scarlett Johansson, I don't think. I'm going to go with my previous guess, $1,384. I love that guess. Higher. Higher.

$4,222. Bad guess. Higher. Bad guess? Terrible guess. Terrible guess. Yeah, probably higher because some bodily fluids are involved. You could clone Scarlett Johansson probably from that tissue if you could. $6,712.

Terrible guess. Lower. 59.49. Lower. 54.49. Lower. 52.50. Higher. 53.50. Lower. 53. Is that it? No. 53.01? Oh, man. It's lower than that. 53. No, that's fucking me. It's $5,300. Yeah, I win. God damn it. What the fuck? Ha ha ha.

This is bullshit. I was honestly, I was going to give that back to you, but even you seem to have conceded that. Mark took that one unfair and square from you. Fine. I was busy trying to figure out what movies she was known for before 2008. Did you figure it out? She was in like The Prestige. She was in Home Alone 3 in 2007. She was in a drama with Chris Evans. She was in Home Alone 3?

I don't remember Home Alone 3 very much, so I don't know what that is. That was the first one without Macaulay Culkin. Yeah, that was, I think, the first one without him, and that was the house and the... Oh, I don't remember the story, but I remember the setting in the house, and the kid was really into remote control cars or something, and had a car with a camera on it that he was driving around, I think. She played his older sister in that movie, Molly Pruitt. Oh my god. I still don't remember her as being in that movie, but she must have been really young. I don't

I don't know. Anyway, I like that movie. All right, guys, you'll definitely know this next one. It was very public. John Oliver on his show last week tonight, famous for buying funny shit with HBO's money because he's a funny guy. At Russell Crowe's

Art of Divorce auction, I guess was an auction where they were selling off things to pay for a divorce he was going through. It's unclear. It's not explained in this, but the total, the Art of Divorce auction netted $3.7 million in sales. But from this auction, John Oliver bought the jockstrap that Russell Crowe wore while filming the movie Gladiator. Oh,

Oliver is quoted as saying it's a big price to pay just to find out what Russell Crowe's balls smelled like in 2005. And apparently he, I don't know if he did, but he goes to the end of the quote. Yeah, it's a big price to pay for. Yeah. Anyway, apparently they donated it to a struggling video store in Alaska as like a, now they have like an attraction. Some people go to the store and help support the business. But anyway, Russell Crowe's jockstrap from gladiator.

It's a big price to pay. John Oliver said, big price. Mark goes first. One of the most famous movies of all time. Just had a sequel maybe come out. Did it come out? Has it come out? Yeah, like this past weekend, I think. Yeah. I mean, recently, maybe. Or in the future. We don't know in the news. Jockstrap, he probably would have worn it multiple times. It really soaked in there. But 2005, it doesn't get better with age or to some people, probably. I'm guessing this was resold because someone was like, oh, I got to get rid of this thing. It's getting ripe. It's getting ripe.

So I'm going to guess $2,385. Higher. $15,125. Man. Gold guess. It is lower than that. I wish it was $15,000. I'm not going to lie. Gladiator is such a big film. $5,000 even. Higher. $8,750. Lower. $6,819. Higher. $8,250. Higher. $8,750.

$8,437. Higher. $8,500. Higher. $8,529. Higher. Come on, man. $8,600. Lower. $8,575. Lower. $8,650? But

550. It's lower than 8650. I'm going to go ahead and say that's your guess. What the fuck? Fine. It's lower than 8550. 8540. Ding, ding, ding. This is bullshit. Well, you got it wrong with either guess. I just think this price is bullshit. You're the one who pressured me to give Mark the tighter clue with your bad protesting. Why are you listening to me? Man, one of you really...

cares about celebrity memorabilia and one of you really is unbothered. Which one? I don't know who's who. We look at Mark's background and we see the chalk strap on the... This NVME drive I've been twiddling, it was up Samuel L. Jackson's behind. Oh, it's like Christopher Walken in the pocket watch. Kept it in his ass. I want to go...

Weirder. Oh, weirder. Okay. Oh, this one's interesting. This one's interesting because it has a twist that impacts the value of it. Okay. I almost died. You all right? I have an anecdote.

Okay, anecdote break. So this is just a random thing. I don't know why I was reminded. When you said weirder, I remembered something I witnessed the other day. Amy and I were in a restaurant. It was quiet. There weren't that many people in there. And someone came in and asked for a glass of water and then was looking around and watching the sushi chefs make. It was a sushi place.

And out of the corner of my eye, I'm not paying him much mind, but I noticed something fell on the floor. Out of my peripheral, I look over, and this man is now walking very quickly out the door, and I look on the floor, and there's a used condom on the floor. And my brain processed that this man, as for a glass of water, walked over to wash the sushi chefs, and then a used condom fell out of his pant leg onto the floor. That man was celebrity...

And I sold it on auction for $7,200. Anyway, I don't know. It just reminded me of that. If a used condom fell out of Justin Timberlake's pant leg, it would have sold for so much at auction. Oh, my God. You can guarantee it. Even Russell Crowe's pant leg.

I mean 2005 Russell Crowe he was pretty he was hunky right yeah forget gamer girl bath water you'd have singer boy jizz rubber I just don't get why you ran away you're the kind of person who wear a used condom might just fall out of your pants because you didn't even realize that had happened he should have just owned it and been like yeah happens a lot

Eh, well... Happens a lot. All the time. Like a condom falls out of your pants and you're like, Oh no, they're gonna know I have a lot of sex! Ah! Like, that's a weird mix of reaction with consequence with reaction, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, I wear so many of these. This happens all the time. Is it like a fucking run? Why do you dispose of it after? It's just like... It was raining outside before! It runs away like a Muppet. So I didn't know what to do because it's like, do I tell an employee? Are they gonna think it's my condom? So, but...

They're gonna think it's my condom. Honestly, it's not mine. I swear, this dude was in here and I heard a plop and I looked over and there was a condom on the ground. I'm not saying who it was. I hope someone saw you looking down at the ground at the condom and just like staring at it. And they're like, Markiplier, just leave a condom on the ground. And didn't say anything. I'm gonna sell that on eBay.

Thankfully, well, not thankfully for the waitstaff, but when the waitstaff came over around the corner, looked down before they stepped on or anything, went like, oh, wow. And then went to get a broom and dustpan. Is that a Trojan magnum? Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Is it my lucky day? I need one of these for later. I was just thinking, I don't know if I can afford one of these and dinner. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

It's barely used. Who would throw away a perfectly good condom? What's the eBay market like for lightly used condoms? Great condition. Proof that it's sealed. They just hold it up. It's not dripping. See? I'm sorry. I distracted us.

Let's get back to the list. Good story, Mark. Good story. Anyway, Joan Rivers, famous celebrity personality, hosts things on TV. You know Joan Rivers. She's always on the red carpet interviewing people. She's a famous celebrity personality type person. She has a dog or had a dog at one point anyway. Didn't she pass away like 10 years ago? Possibly. I don't actually know her, follow her. So if she did, this isn't funny. So it's not ruining her memory.

It's about her dog. She had a dog named Spike. He's a terrier. This dog lived a charmed life and had a bespoke Tiffany's dog bowl. Tiffany's is that very famous jewelry brand. It's known for their diamonds. The Tiffany blue thing. It's like a high end. If you get a Tiffany's box, you got some fancy shit in there. Spike's Tiffany bespoke dog bowl apparently sold at

auction for almost 30 times its estimated worth just for its Tiffany-ness. How much did it sell for? Wade goes first? Yeah, Wade goes first. Oh, good. Okay. Tiffany's is expensive. 30 times. 30 times that value. I don't know what this dog bowl looked like, if there were any gems in it, or if it was just the ceramic. I'm going to throw a hint out and say, I hope there were some gems or diamonds or something in it.

Let's go $15,000. I'm going cheap. It is lower than that. Cheap? It's a dog bowl. Yeah, but 30 times its value. How much are your dog bowls? I don't get them from Tiffany's where you spend a minimum of $500. I don't force my dogs to drink out of anything that costs less than 20 racks. I think assuming it was $500 was a fair assumption. You think that Bob was playing that up too much? Come on, Wade.

It's a dog bowl. Celebrity Tiffany's 30 times value. It's got gems in it. It's the big bowl. He was leading you to the water you didn't drink. I basically told you the answer. A $500 dog bowl from Tiffany's is not that absurd of a thought. All right, it's lower. $5,995. No, it's higher. That's a funny number, Mark. That was the funniest number you've said yet, I think. Thank you. Thank you, Leverman.

$6,750. Higher. $8,220. Higher. $10,000, $11,000, $12,000, and $13,000. $1,150. Higher. $15,000. Such a crazy number. We're in the ballpark now. I don't know. Maybe I'm just reacting randomly to throw you off the scent. $14,000. $14,000.

Wow. Mark's really kicking your ass today. It's 14 sold for $14,000. It was super close to it. I know. Yeah. Weird how that works, isn't it? This is some bullshit. I want my ink. I was just chucking 14 even to get close. I didn't know that was it. Wow.

I'm the guy in Oregon Trail who caulks his wagon and floats and dies watching everyone else caulk their wagons and succeed. Get better caulk. I can't. I can't afford the toilet to handle it.

Well, this next one involves multiple famous people, so that'll make it easier. Kim Kardashian bought this. Oh, at least a million. For one of her children, Northwest. I don't know if West is still their last name, but her child North, named North, for Christmas. This child was six years old, so obviously this was the absolutely perfect gift for a six-year-old. It

It was an outfit worn by Michael Jackson. It was a jacket with a lot of fancy embroidery on it. And I don't know if it's all together, but sitting around it, there was a white glove and also the iconic sort of white hat, the smooth criminal hat.

that still has a little bit of stage makeup on it because it was actually worn. I was thinking Jackson 5 so the kid could at least wear the outfit. This is an adult Michael Jackson outfit. This is like one of Michael Jackson's iconic god of pop music during his peak outfits. I'm sure you can imagine he had lots of very nice tailored embroidered jackets and elaborate stage outfits.

outfits and things. This is one of those. It's a very fancy ward in an actual performance, possibly multiple times. Perfect gift for a six-year-old for Christmas. Anyway, how much did this sell for? My guess? Marco's first, yeah.

$60,000 higher. I thought you were about to end it right there. So that was, that was a powerful guess, but it is higher. $69,000 lower. $60,995 higher.

63,000. Higher. 66,000. Lower. 64,500. We're dancing all around it. It's higher than that. 65,000. There you go. I don't know if you noticed these have all...

I don't know if you guys are picking up yet. These are all like mostly even-ish numbers that we're coming across here. No, no. One of them's not going to be. We're going to keep doing our thing. I don't think I've got a single one of these. This is my coin flip. You have not gotten a single one of these. Oh, no. Don't call me.

Don't call it a comeback, baby. I'm coming back. I'm still mad about the dog bowl, guys. That was so close. I know. I really screwed you on that one. You sure did. That's fine. Your game, man. This might be the last one because we're coming up on time here, but this is one that I know we know about. Especially Wade knows about this. This mask was worn when Darth Vader revealed to Luke that he was in fact his father.

This is the mask that was captured on film during that iconic scene, during that classic franchise. The mask is made of fiberglass and foam. It is an actual movie prop, so it's not made out of anything super nice. It serves its purpose. It looks like Darth Vader because it is the mask that is Darth Vader. It sold for a little bit more than double what they thought it was going to go for at auction. That's a completely unhelpful hint. What year was it auctioned?

I don't even know if I have that information. Because that's going to affect the price a lot, too. Because it was auctioned in 1980 versus 2020 or something. Oh, 2019. There we go. Okay, recent. Very recent. Very recent. 2019. Was that before or after the new trilogy kind of flopped? It's kind of in the...

middle of it isn't it didn't like uh didn't the first one of the new trilogy come out in like well i don't wasn't that 2018 2017 i time is weird man i don't remember what years they all came out i don't know i don't know all right so anyway they how much more did it go for it went for a little bit more than twice as much as they thought it was going to go for twenty thousand dollars

Higher. Oh, apparently The Force Awakens came out in 2015, The Last Jedi came out in 2017, and The Rise of Skywalker came out at the end of 2019. But this sold in leading up to the release of the third movie in the new trilogy. I'm going to guess, because all these have been increasing. Oh, Mark, seeing patterns. 100%.

$17,000 higher. Fuck. $150,000 higher. $265,000 higher. Fuck. $500,000 higher. $1,800,000 lower. But what if it was higher? Wouldn't that be funny? $1.5 million lower. $1.15 million lower.

Lower. $1,000,000. God, I wish it was, but it's really not. It's lower than that. $845,000. Higher. $850,000. Higher. $915,000. Lower. $900,000. Lower. $875,000. Higher. $880,000. Higher. $895,000. Lower. $885,000. Yeah! All right. Hello, the boys!

how many more of these we got let's go power power thirst power thirst power thirst uh speed speed farming what the fuck am i trying to say keep going you got it higher lower i don't want to play anymore there's no way i can even rig this to help you out wade i'm not gonna sugarcoat it excellent

Wade, I will give you three guesses. And if you get this on any of the three guesses, I will give you three points on first guess, two points on second guess, one point on third guess. Excellent. I think I'm only down by one. So that's good. Yeah. Ish. Um,

Michael Jordan, basketball superstar, wore these Nike airships during the regular season of his rookie year in 1984 and then signed them. He gifted these autographed shoes to

to a Denver Nuggets ball boy after a game when he felt like he was done using them. He needed a new pair. He signed them and he just gave them to one of the ball boys on the court as he was making his way back in the locker room or whatever. And I don't know if the ball boy kept them until this sale, but most recently they sold at auction signed Michael Jordan rookie airships. How much did they sell for? Guess number one. I was trying to trick you to telling me it might've worked. $2 million.

lower six hundred and fifty thousand dollars higher one and a half million dollars one point five million dollars on guest number three earned you one point that's right mark i'm not an ordinary contestant wade knows about darth vader and basketball and mark knows about literally everything else that's what we're going to call it on the points the person whose name i read first i'm

I'm not going to tell you. Maybe you win. Maybe you lose. Don't read into it. Wade, your name is first. You earn points for didn't cheat because lazy. Then it's cake. Give him a point because Mark gave you one. Wade's real laugh came out. Cheap dog bowl. Scoff.

Darth Vader mask and Air Jordans. That's like 30 points. Mark, you earned points for old, old, old. You know, the render farm. Do you have enough power? Justin Timberlake French toast. Scarlett Johansson's gross tissue. Russell Crowe balls. Mark's used condom. Portions going thousand dollar. Oh, what did I write? $44,000 bowl probably. And Michael Jackson's outfit. You literally got...

six of those correct to Wade's two, but he got two important ones correct. Just because they're more important, but dollar amount, but, oh, have pity on me, I'm having a stroke. Oh, better give me the win. Oh,

All right, Mark earned some bonus stroke points, probably. Wade, you earned a total of seven points for all of that. And Mark, you earned a total of eight points. Oh, damn your stroke. I gave you the win. Oh, that stopped Bob from having to spin the wheel of pain, probably. No, I didn't even give him the bonus stroke point. Honestly, you needed to get the...

Michael Jordan sneakers guess on the first try to have a chance at winning. You were three or two points down when you took that challenge. Honestly, I'm surprised I was that close. You did get it in three guesses, which was pretty good, which did earn you a point, but that was not enough. As the loser, Wade, please give us a loser speech.

Look, I think this episode is proof in the pudding that I don't really collect much. I don't care about celebrities, including if you count us. You don't care about me? We're just all normal people and no one needs to buy weird stuff that we might leave behind. That being said, I've got some old cutlery that I've been using for years. Might be on eBay soon. And you should definitely buy it for lots of money.

That'll probably work. I just want to throw this out there. I totally forgot. I had another webpage open. I was going to have you guys guess how much three sections of corporal light, which is fossilized dinosaur poop is, is worth, but that's a, we didn't get to that. So maybe next time we'll talk about dinosaur poop. Anyway, Mark winner speech. Uh,

i've realized now that if i start sneezing into tissues and selling them at rapid pace i can make far more money than i ever did making youtube videos or even this podcast so i'm officially announcing my retirement and my untirement to ebay's sneeze department so look forward to a lot of me and a lot of tissues that sounds that's don't be weirded out if you invite bob and i over we go through your trash and wardrobe

He doesn't have anything in there, so I think that's pretty much useless. Why do I want his one pair of pants that's full of holes? Yeah, it is really that. I was about to say, it is... I do not have pants. Those will sell for so much, Mark. People want your holy pants. Well, these are Mark's only pants. He's just naked now. Yeah. Anyway, congrats.

congratulations mark you did really well i feel like that was very fair you both had a lot of knowledge on the subject and uh i'm really proud of myself for coming up with such a good idea that everyone loves so much that's the end of the episode make sure you check us out on our socials mark plier lordmania777 my skirm uh we have merch extractable store.com it's out there and until next time uh you know the thing the what do we say oh right podcast out noochie boochies
