Blacksmith huh? How much do I gotta pay you to make me Zweihander? Me want huge sword. Huge sword, huge reach. Huge reach, no crowd. Plus huge sword, tall lady. Everyone knows the ladies love medieval weaponry. In conclusion, zweihander cure social anxiety and get me tall lady.
I love how the French subtext talks about a man who pours milk in his bowl before adding cereal (invoking the wrath of the online community). He also has a farm for cultivating some unknown fruit, and he has a knife he bought on Amazon. Stay calm when you encounter this man and say 'glauber salts'. That's where I got to so far.
There's something so perfectly Distractible-coded that Mark shows a video of the terrifying awful wildfires ravaging LA only for his phone to immediately jump to an unprompted, unknown, unwanted video of a *phallic controller*
I think I know what's happening to Wade. It happened to my parents except their dealership explained. Basically the demand is so high on some of the models that the factories are only building certain packages in bulk so if you want one of the packages that is a little bit less common like a key starter or in the case of the RAV4 not having a moon window thing, you have to wait like 6 months because they don't have very many lines dedicated to the production of the weird combos. As long as you get one of the standard packages you can get it in about 6 weeks. I would argue that the major combinations that they are cranking out in bulk are garbage, but people are basically forced to buy them because you're not going to get your vehicle if you get one of the better combos. So now my parents are being angry about too many electronic components that they don't understand, but at least their car functions. I'll be rebuilding my car until car manufacturers actually build something I want again. I would love an electric or hybrid but they are garbage right now unless you get one of the huge ones and I do not want a large vehicle.
I'm SOO glad edison motors came up in the electric talk, They've got a youtube channel that I've been following for a while, and having done semi maitnence my entire life, I LOVE how right-to-repair Edison is.
"I'm sure it's all very controlled because they're professionals..." Well, they are professionals, and VERY skilled pilots, but even in light winds, flying that close to a massive thermal engine makes for extremely challenging flight conditions, to say the least. Combine an already difficult precision water drop maneuver with a sudden CoG shift from releasing the water, and variable air density from the high temperatures of the nearby fire causing unpredictable lift characteristics, and holy crap, just no thank you! These pilots are epic masters of their art, and deserve a lot more attention than they get!
36:10 Mark: "Some of these things should not be political at all. Like climate change" Wade: "I don't know man, our snow was pretty *Communist* working together in ways i didn't like" God this just fucking SENT ME. Its late everyone here is asleep and I'm cackling.
I find it absolutely hilarious Mark did research on steel, and talked about how nobody agrees on it (which is perfectly accurate) and then landed on a knife that uses the ONE STEEL everyone agrees sucks.
Nothing beats a super somber story about this natural disaster and peoples homes being lost being punctuated by a random video of a glizzy controller gooner game.
I am one hundred percent with Wade on the halogen/LED headlights. I can barely even drive at night anymore because like ninety percent of cars nowadays have those cursed things.
Fellow Fire Brother! He whost hath altho beenth evacuateded! Joking aside; I was also evacuated and didn’t have power for 2 weeks; saw the smoke and flames way too close for comfort, and I’m honestly worried about oncoming winds this week. Be careful Mark.
Hey do you want to listen to a bunch of random shit related to what you listen to solely by the virtue that it is people who are talking?! No.... Cool! Ask you again tomorrow!
To be fair, I was car shopping a couple years ago. All the used car lots near me were so expensive even with tons of miles on them that buying new really was little difference.
Lol my friend and I were talking about knives and he mentioned how D2 was a good steel a while ago. And now we have mark saying he bought a D2 steel knife
Having just lived through all the nonsense Helene brought to Appalachia, this stuff really goes to show just how much our society demands victim blaming as the norm. Nobody wants to think freak tragedies just happen with no one at fault, because that means it could happen to them.
A part of it that no one wants to talk about or acknowledge is the average evangelical christian mindset. They really, really don't like the idea of bad thing being god's fault, but blaming Satan has gone out of style, so the closest thing to satan that they can blame is people. Their world view demands that the natural order of the world is that good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people. When you have mass chaos and destruction affecting people from every walk of life, it produces a contradiction that most of them aren't able to handle, so they default to blaming other people. Let me be clear; I'm not saying religion is a fundamentally bad thing, but trends are trends so I can't help but notice and comment on the obvious pattern regarding which group of people are typically jumping to blaming everyone and everything instead of showing a shred of humanity and at least sympathizing with those who are suffereing from these disasters.
I'm almost positive Biden signed some law about that. Looked it up, apparently it was for adaptive headlights, which means headlights would still use LEDs, but they're computer controlled so they light up the road but not blind oncoming traffic.
I have a storage unit horror story. The person using the unit above us had a restaurant - size container of Pepsi syrup that leaked. It wasn't discovered for weeks. No one told us and when we finally went back we found out because an entire corner of our unit was covered in the sticky, stinky, buggy mess.
My mom has a Ford F-150 Raptor and it has the same power outlet that Mark was talking about, she could power my parent's house as a generator if she needed to. The F-150s in general are amazing.
Bad eyes person here. I have -9 vision in each eye, plus an astigmatism in each eye, and overall bad eyes. Bright lights are extra bright, and dark is extra dark. Sometimes it doesn’t have anything to do with cataracts ❤
D2 is okay for the cost, it isn't the best but is good enough and if you care for it. I personally swear by T10 steel, simply because I like it. And that's ultimately what matters, whether you like it or not. Don't listen to the haters Mark!
Pawn Shop guy here. Diamond testers tend to fail pretty often and have issues telling the difference between lab grown and real. Thus using the human eye with a loop and a UV light are the best options. Also most pawn shops would not take a riding bull, unless its like a televised one like Pawn Stars. That's more a Facebook Marketplace kinda sell.
Keep an eye on the cost of building materials. Once rebuilding in California starts en masse. Building material costs will skyrocket everywhere. In some cases because of price gouging. But largely due to supply not being able to keep up.
The way Wade talks about LED Lights reminds me of how I learned I had Astigmatism and that apparently peoples eyes dont normally have massive light streaks coming off of light sources LOL
3:20 Markiplier, you have a wonderful supermarket. To be frank, I am quite disappointed that I am unable to partake in the exchange of goods at your store. Oh how I dream of entering that amazing store of yours, browsing your superb shelving units that are arranged in such an indescribable manner, allowing all of your patrons easy access to each and every item. And your prices! Oh, your prices, they just couldn't be any more of a bargain, not even a thrift store's price for an open box of Captain Crunch can compare. I do hope you expand it to more locations, I think everyone should be able to shop at it. Sincerely,
I love the environment talk in this episode. Climate anxiety and depression was a huge struggle for me, and seeing all the misinformation and hate spread again brings me back to that headspace. Listening to creators that i like show their support gives me hope, and motivation to take some action.
@@lettucearsebiscuits8375 there will never be another wade Never Except the wade from the Sonic Movie But all i visualize first when i hear wade is funny bearded bald man
Glad everyone is good, I had friends who lost almost everything in the Eaton fire ❤️ And yes the Santa Ana winds are insane. The house I grew up in was cornered but unaffected by the 2003 and 2007 Orange County fires
Stay vigilant, Mark! Get your chainsaw ready. I had CalFire workers coming in to my work today saying they were headed down that way because winds were gonna pick up again. So anyone in the affected area. Just... Be careful. I've been through it with the Camp Fire, it sucks, just keep moving.
I feel for all those going through the LA fires. I was living in California in 2019 or something like that when there was a massive fire in California but it was in Sonoma County and a lot of the cities burned down. Thankfully my family and I didn't get hit or lose anything but I do know a lot of people who lost their homes, their businesses, their jobs, everything to those fires. And I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone going through the same thing. Just stay safe everyone and if you can get out of California as its constantly on fire. I know I did and its been such a relief
Seeing the cuts on Mark's arms while he does his smalltalk and all I can think of is "Mark-sleepswithknives-iplier" and "wow mark really got a sharp knife if he already accidentally cut himself with it."
People's horrendous reactions to the Palisades fire has reminded me a lot of the response to the destruction Katrina caused. I was living in the Mobile, Al area during that time and while we definitely didn't get it as bad as NOLA, I had my fair share of empathy-lacking troglodyes offer their opinions on how things should have been handled and it was very clear they had no clue what they were talking about. People are suffering, be it millionaire celebrities or lower middle class nobodies. Their financial status doesn't negate the loss they've faced.
I go to a dealership that doesnt earn commission if u buy a car. I fuckin love it. The employees are all like "theres now no pressure to force u to buy shit, its great!" I got a honda crv. In the past 16yrs ive gone there 2x-3x. I tried another dealership because of distance and they tried all the shady tactics and at each tactic i told em to fuck off, they called me a monster and then i went back to my zero commission policy dealership and it was so nice. I hate the LED bright ass bulbs too. I have an astigmatism and it makes life wooooorse.
As a knife collector, the first part of Mark's small talk is 100% accurate. The steel snobbery is rampant and unending, and I'm definitely guilty of it from time to time.
You have to go to a car dealership knowing what you're going to buy otherwise you'll be gaslight into buying the newest model of a car which is why Wade is being told to wait 4 months. i don't think he realizes that he can also buy some of the "used" models that are around the lot.
I watch the video running in the background so its a podcast where I can check the video for reference. I don't know where I fall on your scale of listeners to viewers but I'm definitely there. =^-^=
Oh, Mark bought a D2 steel knife, huh? Wow, congratulations on owning a glorified paperweight with the corrosion resistance of a wet sponge and the edge retention of a butter knife after a long day at Thanksgiving dinner. I bet you just love sharpening that thing every five minutes, right? Oh wait, don’t tell me-you don’t even sharpen it, do you? You’re probably out here slicing cardboard and thinking, ‘Wow, this knife is so rugged.’ Meanwhile, D2 steel is out there crying for oil like an old pickup truck. Let me guess, Mark. You watched one UA-cam video about “best steels for survival knives,” saw some guy in cargo shorts say D2 is ‘semi-stainless,’ and now you think you’re Bear Grylls? Bruh, you’d sweat on it and end up with rust spots before you even get to cutting open a pack of trail mix. And don’t even get me started on your knife's design-I bet it’s one of those flashy, tacticool monstrosities that’s ‘totally practical’ for all those intense knife fights you definitely get into at Starbucks. Keep telling yourself that D2 is a good choice for EDC, Mark. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here slicing cheese and chopping onions with my VG-10 steel blade that doesn’t scream, ‘I bought this because it looked cool on Amazon.‘"
There is no excuse for the lack forestry work in CA (if the information I’ve seen about the situation is factual). By forestry I mean controlled burns, keeping vegetation down near homes, monitoring areas for high fire risk and removing dry vegetation if it gets to be risky, using fire breaks (basically a wide trench or bare patch so there’s nothing to burn so the fire can’t get to residential areas, they can also be used to put out a fire by lighting the area on the other side of the trench where the fire is, it “traps” it, really cool, but I realize that may not have helped in this situation because of the wind) This is my opinion as someone who lives in a state where controlled burns are literally part of our science lessons in school, we had a field trip to the local botanical gardens where they were doing one so they could teach us how they’re done safely, and the benefits it provides. One of them being wildfire prevention, but it also helps the trees and provides the soil with a lot of nutrients. And controlled burns are done in small increments, so any animals have ample time to get out of the way, most clear out when they hear people coming anyway, as opposed to not doing controlled burns, which would result in a wildfire that would wipe out a huge area at once, not giving them time to escape. You’re basically getting rid of the fuel before it can all ignite at once, because eventually it WILL. The ecosystem is literally built to do that.
As a fairy new refugee from Europe, I'd say that this situation reminds of something... The devastation; helplessness in action; desperation; sorrow; greedy grin of big companies; uselessness of politicians, immense aid of various communities & individual people; help centers full of humanitarian products; brave acts of few... I just wish you guys will solve the aftermath better than my joke of government. God Bless Americans
As if my 2025 wasn't starting off on the wrong foot, I was getting stressed with the Palisades fire creeping into the SFV side of the mountains and was starting to pack in the case we needed to evacuate. Even if where I live was well away from the mountains, after seeing what happened at Altadena I didn't want to risk a panic in an evacuation warning passing Ventura Blvd. Just wished they could show the actual active fire area to the put-out area, it took me a few days to calm down when the maps wouldn't update the warnings.
I've been saying this for MONTHS 😭😭😭 we need to stop focusing on which individual civilians' "faults" a crisis is, and start focusing on how to help the people who are affected by the crisis. It blows my mind that so many people are just screaming and pointing fingers when that energy could be used to actually help someone. It doesn't matter who you voted for, nobody deserves to lose their home, nobody deserves to lose their health care, and nobody deserves to be thrown out of the country (re: regardless of whom they voted for). We need to protect and support one another when these crises happen.
Natural disasters are going to happen. Uncontrollable and nothing you can prepare for. My concern is the government's lack of support to places after such disasters--such as western North Carolina and surrounding states that were impacted earlier this year by Hurricane Helene. I have a feeling that the same will happen to California in the fire impacted regions.
If my neighborhood had been wrecked by an insane fire/wind combo and I looked up to see Markiplier walking down the street with a chainsaw... I honestly don't know what my first emotion would be. Quite possibly fear.
I'm 100% with Wade on LED-Headlights. Especially on those Pseudo-SUVs and Trucks. I am just glad that where I live, there are none of these stupidly giant trucks that have their lights at the height of a standing human adult. Those stinging bright LED lights in cars should be legally forbidden. Those are a traffic risk!

If its a Bad Dragon controller. Gimme /j
Idea for an episode: The boys take Wade car shopping lol The episode doesn't end until Wade has a car (or truck). xD
I think I know what's happening to Wade. It happened to my parents except their dealership explained. Basically the demand is so high on some of the models that the factories are only building certain packages in bulk so if you want one of the packages that is a little bit less common like a key starter or in the case of the RAV4 not having a moon window thing, you have to wait like 6 months because they don't have very many lines dedicated to the production of the weird combos. As long as you get one of the standard packages you can get it in about 6 weeks. I would argue that the major combinations that they are cranking out in bulk are garbage, but people are basically forced to buy them because you're not going to get your vehicle if you get one of the better combos. So now my parents are being angry about too many electronic components that they don't understand, but at least their car functions. I'll be rebuilding my car until car manufacturers actually build something I want again. I would love an electric or hybrid but they are garbage right now unless you get one of the huge ones and I do not want a large vehicle.
Hilarity ensues and Wade instead ends up with a very special novelty controller from the CES expo featured in Mark's video.
or boat
I'm SOO glad edison motors came up in the electric talk, They've got a youtube channel that I've been following for a while, and having done semi maitnence my entire life, I LOVE how right-to-repair Edison is.
"I'm sure it's all very controlled because they're professionals..." Well, they are professionals, and VERY skilled pilots, but even in light winds, flying that close to a massive thermal engine makes for extremely challenging flight conditions, to say the least. Combine an already difficult precision water drop maneuver with a sudden CoG shift from releasing the water, and variable air density from the high temperatures of the nearby fire causing unpredictable lift characteristics, and holy crap, just no thank you! These pilots are epic masters of their art, and deserve a lot more attention than they get!

I know you didn’t put who said what but I’m certain Mark said the first thing and Wade said the second

People's horrendous reactions to the Palisades fire has reminded me a lot of the response to the destruction Katrina caused. I was living in the Mobile, Al area during that time and while we definitely didn't get it as bad as NOLA, I had my fair share of empathy-lacking troglodyes offer their opinions on how things should have been handled and it was very clear they had no clue what they were talking about.
People are suffering, be it millionaire celebrities or lower middle class nobodies. Their financial status doesn't negate the loss they've faced.
I go to a dealership that doesnt earn commission if u buy a car. I fuckin love it. The employees are all like "theres now no pressure to force u to buy shit, its great!" I got a honda crv. In the past 16yrs ive gone there 2x-3x. I tried another dealership because of distance and they tried all the shady tactics and at each tactic i told em to fuck off, they called me a monster and then i went back to my zero commission policy dealership and it was so nice. I hate the LED bright ass bulbs too. I have an astigmatism and it makes life wooooorse.
As a knife collector, the first part of Mark's small talk is 100% accurate. The steel snobbery is rampant and unending, and I'm definitely guilty of it from time to time.
You have to go to a car dealership knowing what you're going to buy otherwise you'll be gaslight into buying the newest model of a car which is why Wade is being told to wait 4 months. i don't think he realizes that he can also buy some of the "used" models that are around the lot.
I watch the video running in the background so its a podcast where I can check the video for reference. I don't know where I fall on your scale of listeners to viewers but I'm definitely there.
=^-^=
Oh, Mark bought a D2 steel knife, huh? Wow, congratulations on owning a glorified paperweight with the corrosion resistance of a wet sponge and the edge retention of a butter knife after a long day at Thanksgiving dinner. I bet you just love sharpening that thing every five minutes, right? Oh wait, don’t tell me-you don’t even sharpen it, do you? You’re probably out here slicing cardboard and thinking, ‘Wow, this knife is so rugged.’ Meanwhile, D2 steel is out there crying for oil like an old pickup truck.
Let me guess, Mark. You watched one UA-cam video about “best steels for survival knives,” saw some guy in cargo shorts say D2 is ‘semi-stainless,’ and now you think you’re Bear Grylls? Bruh, you’d sweat on it and end up with rust spots before you even get to cutting open a pack of trail mix.
And don’t even get me started on your knife's design-I bet it’s one of those flashy, tacticool monstrosities that’s ‘totally practical’ for all those intense knife fights you definitely get into at Starbucks. Keep telling yourself that D2 is a good choice for EDC, Mark. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here slicing cheese and chopping onions with my VG-10 steel blade that doesn’t scream, ‘I bought this because it looked cool on Amazon.‘"
It’s ok Mark, I too bought a knife from Amazon a few months back. But it’s the tiniest pocket knife you could buy and I love it!
Idk what to believe anymore
Is this a real new upload of distractible
Yep. Exclusivity contract with Spotify ended
Just want to point out, that if Wade gets a vehicle, he and Bob should make a video about the shopping process. It'd be gold.
My mom's entire neighborhood she grew up in burned in that fire, it sucks. Her old home, school, everything.
There is no excuse for the lack forestry work in CA (if the information I’ve seen about the situation is factual). By forestry I mean controlled burns, keeping vegetation down near homes, monitoring areas for high fire risk and removing dry vegetation if it gets to be risky, using fire breaks (basically a wide trench or bare patch so there’s nothing to burn so the fire can’t get to residential areas, they can also be used to put out a fire by lighting the area on the other side of the trench where the fire is, it “traps” it, really cool, but I realize that may not have helped in this situation because of the wind) This is my opinion as someone who lives in a state where controlled burns are literally part of our science lessons in school, we had a field trip to the local botanical gardens where they were doing one so they could teach us how they’re done safely, and the benefits it provides. One of them being wildfire prevention, but it also helps the trees and provides the soil with a lot of nutrients. And controlled burns are done in small increments, so any animals have ample time to get out of the way, most clear out when they hear people coming anyway, as opposed to not doing controlled burns, which would result in a wildfire that would wipe out a huge area at once, not giving them time to escape. You’re basically getting rid of the fuel before it can all ignite at once, because eventually it WILL. The ecosystem is literally built to do that.
The thumbnail literally scared me so badly
As a fairy new refugee from Europe, I'd say that this situation reminds of something... The devastation; helplessness in action; desperation; sorrow; greedy grin of big companies; uselessness of politicians, immense aid of various communities & individual people; help centers full of humanitarian products; brave acts of few... I just wish you guys will solve the aftermath better than my joke of government.
God Bless Americans
love u boys and im happy to hear you’re safe
16:35 I laughed so hard at 5am I scared my housemate lmao
As if my 2025 wasn't starting off on the wrong foot, I was getting stressed with the Palisades fire creeping into the SFV side of the mountains and was starting to pack in the case we needed to evacuate. Even if where I live was well away from the mountains, after seeing what happened at Altadena I didn't want to risk a panic in an evacuation warning passing Ventura Blvd. Just wished they could show the actual active fire area to the put-out area, it took me a few days to calm down when the maps wouldn't update the warnings.
I've been saying this for MONTHS 😭😭😭 we need to stop focusing on which individual civilians' "faults" a crisis is, and start focusing on how to help the people who are affected by the crisis. It blows my mind that so many people are just screaming and pointing fingers when that energy could be used to actually help someone. It doesn't matter who you voted for, nobody deserves to lose their home, nobody deserves to lose their health care, and nobody deserves to be thrown out of the country (re: regardless of whom they voted for).
We need to protect and support one another when these crises happen.
Natural disasters are going to happen. Uncontrollable and nothing you can prepare for. My concern is the government's lack of support to places after such disasters--such as western North Carolina and surrounding states that were impacted earlier this year by Hurricane Helene. I have a feeling that the same will happen to California in the fire impacted regions.
So proud of him for getting rid of the Tesla ngl
I have a visual eye snow, which also makes that 10 second afterimage last *waaaay* longer. so I simply cannot drive at night.
Wade needing a 7 seater for 2 people is probably why he hasn't bought a vehicle yet
This is a joke btw
@@VaalkinTheOnly it is very on brand for him though. I half expected that to be a joke from him this episode.
@@Blasted2Oblivion Lmfao yeah that's fair
40:52 Im glad this is a universal experience because both me and my brother do the full pinch your nose, wave your hand and go "PEEEE-YEWWW"
Mark: I didn't buy an American car
Also Mark: I bought a Ford Lightning
Damn, I jumped on at the right time 😅
52:26
We all know Mark always respects the POWER🙂↔️
Mark getting a truck makes me feel proud. I applaud you.
Great episode guys!!!
Easily my favorite pod cast
Wade, just get a CR-V Hybrid. I just got one last year and I love this thing. I get about 38 miles per gallon. It's fantastic.
The boys are back
Very glad to know that Mark has the same hate for the Cyber”truck” that I do. Got a real mans Mercian vehcile🦅😎
It ain't even about being _real American._ It's about the fact that falls apart by simply driving it!
28:53 "There was this one guy, he was on like a successful tv show a while back and since then he hasn't done too much..." Bojack?? 😭
13:34 light flicker behind mark 👻👻👻
Ayo I saw it too
If my neighborhood had been wrecked by an insane fire/wind combo and I looked up to see Markiplier walking down the street with a chainsaw... I honestly don't know what my first emotion would be. Quite possibly fear.
Oh hek yeah, with that Ford Mark will be barrelling all over the place like thunder!
This is why I love trucks, they just are a drive
lol "They self censor when they get used" for whatever reason that made me laugh.
That might have been the most expensive shot of the fire yet lol
I'm 100% with Wade on LED-Headlights. Especially on those Pseudo-SUVs and Trucks.
I am just glad that where I live, there are none of these stupidly giant trucks that have their lights at the height of a standing human adult.
Those stinging bright LED lights in cars should be legally forbidden. Those are a traffic risk!
I'm so happy everyone is safe!
