The episode of *Distractible* blends humor, personal anecdotes, and light-hearted games to explore topics ranging from dehydration and health struggles to absurd internet culture and random trivia. Hosts Bob, Mark, and Wade share real-life experiences, such as family health issues, foot injuries, and the challenges of wearing compression gear, while poking fun at societal norms like corsets and the lymphatic system. A central game involves guessing numerical values on abstract scales—such as ethical toilet paper behavior or the excitement of a museum visit—using creative examples. The hosts also engage in playful debates about names, pop culture, and survival in an apocalypse, culminating in a humorous scoring system where Wade wins despite early missteps. The episode underscores its signature style: chaotic, self-aware, and filled with nonsensical references like “cloth off the bone,” which the hosts later acknowledge may be meaningless but adds to the show’s charm. While the content is often improvised and lacks clear structure, it creates an engaging, relatable, and deeply human atmosphere that resonates with listeners through shared absurdity and personal vulnerability. The overarching message is that everyday life—filled with health issues, random jokes, and questionable decisions—can be both funny and meaningful when viewed through a lighthearted lens.

hello and welcome back to yet another episode of the show that just won't die no
matter how many times we try to kill it i'm your host bob because i won the last one no that's not
my name i just said it that way because i don't speak very well joined today by my two competitors
and also co-hosts technically even though wade hasn't hosted one of these in months uh mark and
wade welcome boys hey i feel like he he didn't catch a stray that's what i was gonna say he
caught a direct hit it was like straight between the eyes here it was it was right to him i didn't
even feel in danger but i feel bad about it i feel like i'm gonna have to do something about it
for him i gotta say you could you thank the subreddit for that because uh the the scorekeeper
on subreddit for the last time they put the score up their literal note was uh here's the score man
mark and bob just keep handing it back and forth i can't even remember the last time wade won
we were all tied at four the last time i won i think you know what's really funny is i'm now
leading episode wins and wade you're still leading points and mark is leading nothing
but somehow everyone agrees that wade is the biggest loser regardless
nothing like having the most points in the least wins it's like the cincinnati bangles two two years
ago uh it was almost like the cincinnati bangles this past week yeah don't worry i'm going to
recruit and get a defense and i'm going to keep scoring points i'm going to hold you two off
and next year's no one cares about my sports jokes someone will care someone will get that
and you you out there tom thanks for laughing from bob and tom yeah bob and tom that's a throwback
bob and tom here and there and down along across
the square that's not right that's true yeah uh-huh uh-huh gummy bear i think it is gummy bears
bob and tom this is it this is the high quality content you get here at distractible industries
uh and i have a game for today just like i always do usually uh before we get into that
who wants anyone got any small talk you want to earn some softball points i didn't go to prison
for evading jury duty asterisk oh that's why i thought it was the other i didn't why what were
you talking about
i would have bet a lot of money that you were going to get that message like the second you
had to leave for the airport your phone was going to be like it was scary because you get a text
message also that reminds you to check to see if you are on call for jury duty or if you're going
to be summoned so it was like i saw the text and i was like i was on the plane on the plane wife i
was like oh god oh no oh jeez i'm logging in with my jury card oh shit my number my pin code and it
is a recurring nightmare i had to call once a week for like a month i think a month god damn it was
once a week for a month i think it's the same process when we lived in the san francisco area
it's way different part of the state but yeah doing that every night for a week checking the
thing seeing if you lost the i mean won the lottery i was like every tuesday at six o'clock
call because it's only for one week so i mean they're completely arbitrary
systems they just need a way to get a certain number of people per day queued up in case they
need them because they only use a small percentage of people who actually have to go to jury duty
anyway because then they do the jury selection it's a whole thing lucky me and i still love the
gopro i'm invested but i still love it they can't take it from me wait why does that gopro have seven
fingers what the fuck this is why i don't win i still feel
lightheaded from taking off the back brace i nothing major everybody at home i'm just wearing
a back brace because my back kind of hurt is it like the good kind of lightheaded if that exists
or no okay i don't know i don't know that that exists i'm just checking really about buke so if
i throw up here if i run out of the room real fast you'll know it's because i did it to myself
if you pass out can we call chica or amy if chica has a cell phone i'm going to be very
upset because you're not allowed um but you know i think call amy and she doesn't answer
she gets laying in the other room just like
god i love tiktok is that a thing how do people wear corsets i was talking about this as soon as
i as soon as i took it off after tightening i'm like i bet i didn't even have it close to as tight
as some people wear a corset but it's like how do you do that i feel like i'm gonna pass out and
it's not even on anymore weren't those like actually physically debilitating when people
wore them regularly yeah i think so i don't know about debilitating or not but i would imagine they
reshaped people's bodies they reshaped people's bodies they reshaped people's bodies
right like body shape training is a thing where you just wear tighter and tighter corsets to like
get a smaller waist and it i assume reshapes your organs i don't know with sandy she had this thing
that we didn't even know about where a lot of her lower organs were actually after her accident it
was unknown to everybody was pushed up into her chest cavity through a hernia or like her diaphragm
um and so we had to give corrective surgery and now they were able to pull it all back down but
even when they pulled it back down they couldn't fit all of it so they had to get
rid of her spleen just to be able to fit it all back down and i'm just like holy shit like so how
is everyone getting reshaped that's got to cause some debilitating problems look i i have to imagine
that's why they weren't terribly popular i think some people will go through a lot to look however
they want to look to look what they think is attractive or hot or beautiful or whatever but
i don't think corsets were ever broadly popular i think they were just broadly mandated
johnny bravo only lasted four seasons and we all know he was wearing a corset
yeah he's got a hip to hip to chest ratio that is crazy maybe he just skips every muscle other than
like packs and delts his body shape is tornado on top of a staple like there is nothing natural
about that plus he calls me mama when he shows up wait i thought he just called me mama oh that's
my special nickname with him i thought that was my special name he looks at me just goes oh then
he looks away
no respect
now that's funny that's what mark's alive uh not in prison didn't pass out hasn't thrown up yet
wait what's new with you well as you all know we were in minnesota and uh we got back from
minnesota we had less than a week and then we hosted my family my family came into town
the weekend after labor day whenever that is or was and we went to a family reunion in indiana
which was cool uh so that's been a lot of fun family time catch up because i've not gotten
to see everybody because we've had kind of a crazy year when this is less fun but
upcoming i don't know exactly when this episode airs versus when this is happening but
molly is having a big surgery uh it's fine we've been telling i guess people now so she's having
a partial hysterectomy you guys know that so we've been going to different appointments and
she's been doing some extra stuff she has to do to get ready for that not a fun process but
ultimately it's preventative which is good so if you guys don't know what all is going on basically
she tested positive for a gene that makes it to where she's some high percentage more likely to
have ovarian cancer along with other few couple of other things so she's been doing some extra
forms of cancer so we're having she's she's elected to have surgery i have no input on
she's asked me my opinion but we mean we comrade well we're married so we but it's her decisions
i've given input but ultimately i've agreed with all the inclinations she's had but she's having
some surgery to hopefully prevent having to deal with that in the future and you know fuck cancer
as we all say and feel uh her mom had been going through it which is why she got tested in the
first place and it's been a long year of health things um which is what led to my heart palpitations
not my knee my knee was just me being an idiot but we just had a lot of weird health things going
on this year but the most pervasive one has been uh her mom's battle with cancer and then her with
the braca trying to figure out what we're going to do about that so a lot of my time has been spent
house cleaning and going to doctor's appointments and uh just mentally being drained i guess so
that's our very fun september plans what we've been doing and will be doing so if all of my
updates have been kind of like oh wait doesn't really do anything well i wish i wish i could be
doing more traveling and hosting of friends and stuff this year but life has just had a way of
preventing that sounds great great sounds really good it's good to have the knowledge and be
preventative uh i think we'd rather be doing this than dealing with cancer but it's a lot of fun
not a fun time well hopefully that i mean we'll talk before then but for all of you watching and
listening uh hopefully that goes well i'm sure everyone feels the same way good luck molly but
yeah well appreciate it and i didn't mean to bring the mood down but it's just one of those i was
hard to make a joke and I couldn't find anything that I felt comfortable saying out loud.
It's a good thing we only give out points for funny things here.
Otherwise, you get a lot of pity points there.
Yeah, so no sad points for you.
Wade is already winning, though, so he didn't need any more points.
Brought the mood down with his stupid surgery of his family.
Hey, look, if we're going to talk about health stuff that's been bumming everybody out, I got one.
Guess how many holes my foot currently has in it?
The normal two.
The normal three.
Zero.
Oh, okay.
It was one for a long time, and then a week and a half ago, it was two.
But now it's zero, and I get to take this stupid thing off my foot on Friday all by myself.

For two normal shoes for the first time since June to the wedding I'm officiating this weekend.
Why were there two?
Wait, was it like, you know, you guys have seen Iron Lung when it zooms in towards the end on the one light left on O2 and you're like, it's going to go down and then it mysteriously goes up to two?
Was it like that with the holes?
A little.
I, it's annoying.
I, they were, I had been getting a hard cast and I, the last hard cast I had was not put on correctly and I got some rubbing and some blistering on my toe and one of the spots was really heavily irritated and it, the blister popped and turned into a new wound.
So instead of the doctors trying to heal my wounds, healing them, they added one to it, but it, um, it healed up and scabbed over.
It is totally healthy.
So it's not a problem.
But for.
Like, I, when that happened, I looked at my foot and saw it and was like, that's a different hole.
Fuck.
Like, I thought I was about to have months more of this shit, but then I saw the doctor, um, yesterday morning and he was like, ah, that's fine.
I was like, man, you were really torn up about the first hole I came in with.
You have no concerns whatsoever.
And he's like, ah, ah, but on Friday, just, just to unwrap your leg and you're free to go.
It's not a lot of instructions, but good.
I guess I'm fine.
I guess I don't understand footholds.
I don't know.
How these work.
Some seem bad.
Some are fine.
Who knows?
I get to be a normal person and I'm going to have really unevenly worn shoes for a minute.
Uh, but I get to finally like take a shower without having to have half my body wrapped in plastic in about a week.
So very excited.
And it's good news.
Yeah, it is nice.
I have something in my eye.
It's not because it was so sad that I cried.
I have nothing in my eye.
Oh, I'm glad you're crying.
You're so happy for me that you're crying.
I'll take it.
I am so happy for your tools.
The number of holes went, just goes.
It goes up and down violently for me.
That's the kind of, that's the kind of man I am.
I'm glad you're a man of none holes.
Good small talk all over the place.
I love a good variety of small talk.
Do I have, this is where I think like, do I have allergies or something?
Because my eyes are like, I feel like, or did it squeeze everything up and my eyes are
like somehow got other juices from my body.
It's squeezed all your white blood cells out and now you have, you're allergic to everything.
Maybe.
Uh.
Maybe it milked all the histamines in your body up into one spot.
And they got so concentrated that now you have top allergies, but no bottom allergies.
What is the thing where it's like, you know, they, they, they scrape on the face with the
stone, right?
You know, it's cold and they like, it's lymphatic drainage, but it's like, there's a, I was
going to say, I do know what that is.
Lymphatic.
Yes.
But it's like, is that a thing?
Cause the lymphatic system is a mystery.
I think to everybody, even scientists don't even understand that shit, but it's like,
does that happen?
If you like squeeze like toothpaste up is lymph just up.
I can tell you even so.
Like I've been wearing, my leg has been under compression almost the whole time with my
whole foot injury situation.
But even if you don't have, like, I didn't have any, uh, inflammation once the infection
was gone.
And with my foot, it was fine.
It was back to normal.
Even if you have no noticeable inflammation, if you wear compression, especially really
tight compression, it literally like drains so much juice.
And I a hundred percent believe you could have just like squeezed a bunch of extra juice
up out of your torso by, by squeezing in a bunch.
Pressing it.
How much lymph fluid is in the human body?
Seven.
No way.
Don't you live, bro?
Well, okay.
That's an AI thing.
So I'm, I'm, it says produces and moves.
So I'm like, okay, that's not right.
How much does it have?
Add the term volume to your query and perhaps it will find the correct thing.
Okay.
Interesting.
Hmm.
No, that's blood.
It's blood lymphatic liquid.
Your heart's actually.
Just for show, it's your lymphs that do all the blood stuff.
Okay.
About one to two liters, maybe a two liter of soda in your body.
Yeah.
Of lymph.
That's a lot of juice.
I don't know if like, uh, you have, you have plasma, but that's not in your blood still.
That's in your blood.
So there's this other juice that goes around in your body and all the diagrams say it's
green.
So I believe that you, it is gross.
People are gross.
I was a fan of plasma until their team stole.
My Pokemon.
This is saying there's more lymph than blood in the human body.
I don't know what to believe.
I don't know if I believe that.
That's a lot.
I think how much blood do we have?
I just type meow, much lymph instead of how okay.
Super troopers called down, tried to cover.
He's actually a cat.
Yeah, man.
I'm not.
Yeah, this is not a new thing, but I've talked about it before.
The, the on Tik TOK account named husk who posts jokes, screwing around with AI chat bot
things.
One of his more recent ones, uh, he, he opens up and it's like, Hey, I have a friend over
and I told them I have a cat, so I need you to pretend.
Oh, that's actually, wasn't him.
I think it was someone copy.
Anyway, he said, I have friend over.
I told him I have a cat.
I need you to pretend to be a cat for me.
And the, the chat bot's like, got it.
Tell me when to start.
And he like pauses and just goes, okay, they're here.
And then the AI goes, Hey, hello.
It's me.
Just a normal cat.
Meow.
Hey, I'm rubbing on your leg.
Hey, meow.
Oh, I knew it was going to do something completely stupid in an unhinged, but it was like, anyway,
it was possibly because it was two in the morning, but it made me laugh a lot.
God, those things are stupid.
Yeah.
They're stupid.
Good thing.
They're never going to get smart.
I've lost the plot.
I don't know why I'm Googling lymph fluid anymore.
I forget what's led me to this point.
Mark gets the lymph point.
We don't have to talk about it anymore.
It's okay.
Oh, but I said the lymph joke.
I, you already got a point for how much do you live?
Yeah.
this episode of distractible is brought to you by quince you know those pieces in your
closet that you literally can't stop wearing, the sweater that you can't take off, a perfect pair of
pants, t-shirt that's the one that you just reach for every time it's there. Those are the pieces
that make getting dressed easy, and those are the pieces that quince makes. Not me. I like the most
restrictive clothing possible, which is why I'm wearing a back brace, because I don't like having
any mobility at all. I like constant chafing. I'm a cool person, and you should follow in my footsteps.
Wade, how do you like what you're wearing?
And please say it's quints.
I told you guys before we even started doing this,
this is probably the nicest shirt that I own, like, actually.
I am a person who's always lived in, like, cheap t-shirts.
I still wear shirts from high school and college.
I'm like, they were oversized then, they fit perfect now.
Now I understand when people say something is breathable.
I was like, I don't know what that, what does that mean?
I put this on, it's like, oh man, it feels so nice and breathable.
That's a good word, I get it now.
I never understood because I own cheap stuff other than quits.
This is so nice.
The first breathable piece of clothing you've ever had on your body.
What an upgrade.
Wade, right now you're literally the normal person at the Olympics running alongside the athletes.
And you're just like, oh, they're really fast.
I never understood what a 4-2-4 was until now.
I thought a 6-5 was pretty quick.
Well, okay.
Well, that all sounds nice.
but what about these which this is not helping my masochist thing by the way anyway you can wear
those as long as you can take it mark i'll allow it you can you can make it even more restrictive
by taking the elastic bands and and tightening them god this is bad for me i shouldn't i shouldn't
this is great man this is so comfortable we're not telling everyone that they have to wear quints
we're just saying that if you want the most comfortable shirt wade's ever worn possibly
that you've ever worn quince makes that also i will say i'm wearing the underwear i'm a bigger
guy i have trouble sometimes with underwear not fitting my legs or being kind of bunchy
this is among the toppest tier underwear i've ever worn and it's definitely not as expensive
as the most expensive underwear i've ever tried because i'm not saying i did that once but it was
not worth it i would much rather have these they're very comfortable and breathable yeah i
would say breathable i can't breathe right now and that just goes to show you don't need to have
breathable clothing to get by i think you can't breathe because your lungs are being crushed
which i think is a whole other issue from a shirt being are you okay no this i will wear this shirt
You can, you can, you can wrap it up. Quickly.

anyway i do have a game for today and this is another situation where uh it's basically a board
game but i'm pretty excited about it because it's one that i always think is funny when i when i
come across it on social media or see it advertised and uh the i think the game the official game is
like wavelength or something but basically you two are competing we're gonna take turns one of
you is going to be the psychic and one of you is going to be the guesser and i'm going to send
the psychic an image that has like a little
you
actually it has numbers i think because i wanted to simplify a little bit so it has
a rating from like 0 to 20 or 1 to 20 um and then somewhere on there it'll just have pegged like
this one is 16 and then on both ends of the spectrum it'll be like 0 is a book that you
would never want to read and 20 is a book that you would love to read and then the psychic gets
their number 16 whatever and they have to give the guesser an example one example to get them to guess
the correct number and then they have to give the guesser an example one example to get them to guess
the correct point on the scale right so maybe maybe you get one and it's like zero is not stinky at all
and 20 is the stinkiest thing you've ever smelled and you got a seven how do you what can you give
as an example to the other person that will make them say oh that's a 7 out of 20 on the stinky
scale right so every time every round the scale is going to be different and you're going to get a
different value on it and your job as the psychic is going to be to get it as accurate as possible
if you get the guess dead on it's actually it feels counterintuitive but if the psychic gets
the person to guess exactly the right number the person gets two points but the psychic gets one
point but if this if the person look the scoring doesn't matter okay it's convoluted and made up
i looked at i thought about this for way too long and i still am not happy with it you'll get points
but the psychic gets a bonus if you get them exactly there but if the person guesses it
but it's not exactly right the psychic is for some reason punished this is how the game seemed to work
i'm not going to say i comprehend it oh coin flip we're going to see who goes first i totally have
my coin here because we have to have it in case someone says that word we're not supposed to say
which word way is the lady and mark is the lion okay i got lady all right you can pick does that
do you want to be the psychic first or the guesser first oh psychic me up all right i am going to be
the psychic first okay i am going to be the lady all right you can pick does that mean i'm going to
be the psychic first okay i am going to be the lady all right i am going to be the mystic first
okay i am going to be the mystic first okay i am going to be the mystic first okay i am going to be
the mystic first okay i am going to be the mystic first okay i am going to be the mystic first okay
and the one i just sent wade zero would be the most pessimistic and 20 would be the most optimistic
what am i doing wade is going to give you a thing and he's trying to get you to guess a specific
point on that scale he's trying to get you to pick a number between 0 and 20 but you have to assess
what he's saying and just pick where you think that falls on the scale of completely pessimistic
to completely optimistic okay got it okay i don't have a topic i just have those two things to work
with you can give any example you want that does not involve telling mark the number you want him
to guess i would suggest ones that relate to the scale so that he has a chance yeah you can do
whatever you want so if i just say like
yeah you can do whatever you want so if i just say like a sentence
a sentence
a sentence yeah
yeah
yeah i would say make the most of what you've
i would say make the most of what you've
i would say make the most of what you've got but there's no point and there's no
got but there's no point and there's no
got but there's no point and there's no hope so why bother
hope so why bother
hope so why bother pretty pessimistic
pretty pessimistic
pretty pessimistic but i feel like there's still room to be
but i feel like there's still room to be
but i feel like there's still room to be more pessimistic but it's very it's very
more pessimistic but it's very it's very
more pessimistic but it's very it's very pessimistic
pessimistic
pessimistic i'm gonna say that's a two if it was out
i'm gonna say that's a two if it was out
i'm gonna say that's a two if it was out of a ten it would be a one which would
of a ten it would be a one which would
of a ten it would be a one which would be as close as possible but not quite
be as close as possible but not quite
be as close as possible but not quite there but it's out of 20 so i'm going to
there but it's out of 20 so i'm going to
there but it's out of 20 so i'm going to say two
say two
say two mark it's a point
mark it's a point
mark it's a point one point it was actually a one mark
one point it was actually a one mark
one point it was actually a one mark it's one point he said zero out of 20 i
it's one point he said zero out of 20 i
it's one point he said zero out of 20 i was like i don't know how i make it a
was like i don't know how i make it a
was like i don't know how i make it a zero so i'm just gonna i was afraid
zero so i'm just gonna i was afraid
zero so i'm just gonna i was afraid mark was gonna undershoot it and that
mark was gonna undershoot it and that
mark was gonna undershoot it and that was gonna be a zero but i think the
was gonna be a zero but i think the
was gonna be a zero but i think the assessment that there was more room to
assessment that there was more room to
assessment that there was more room to be more pessimistic i think that is true
be more pessimistic i think that is true
be more pessimistic i think that is true yeah so i didn't go with the
yeah so i didn't go with the
yeah so i didn't go with the batman why is batman pessimistic he's
batman why is batman pessimistic he's
batman why is batman pessimistic he's pretty optimistic i think all right
pretty optimistic i think all right
pretty optimistic i think all right mark you should have received your
mark you should have received your
mark you should have received your psychic clue wade i will tell you while
psychic clue wade i will tell you while
psychic clue wade i will tell you while mark is preparing wade this scale is a
mark is preparing wade this scale is a
mark is preparing wade this scale is a zero is a forgettable meme and a 20 is
zero is a forgettable meme and a 20 is
zero is a forgettable meme and a 20 is an absolutely iconic meme so i can just
an absolutely iconic meme so i can just
say what the meme is right yeah you could just like give a meme you could you might need to
explain it because wade doesn't really know a lot of memes i don't know a lot of memes so this is
gonna be really funny because he's gonna that's okay i'm gonna tap in to the early 2010s good
that's the time i know zero of them so i can't wait okay i got you got you you ready okay bad
luck brian i know that one yeah well he knows what you know mark knows everything you know
plus some other stuff so i know that one then it's got to be reasonably high but it's not like
one of the memes i still see around so it did eventually kind of go away well he grew up so
this is a zero to 20 scale zero to 20 zero is totally forgettable meme 20 is totally iconic
at the time that was pretty that was pretty popular but i don't know if it was ever the
biggest one i'm gonna say a 17 oh that was pretty good mark was going for 16
oh
okay that means you were within the range you get a point when we're both we're both right there man
when i was thinking memes i was like i can't think of a meme that i know that wade knows
i feel like this is a gamble but you found you found the way yeah because it was like i figured
there are more popular memes like uh overly attached girlfriend kind of had a little
resurgence with obsession the movie that came out so it's like right i feel like and also i believe
she was able to make a youtube career out of it so it's like i don't know if the troll the troll
case counts as one but that one to me would be like a 20 because that one's still i see
the harder what number for me would be like if it was like seven or so i would have no idea where to
go with memes on that all right wade i sent it send it apparently i sent you your next one mark
this scale is zero is completely unethical and 20 is 100 above board ethical all right cool
so during the pandemic it was really hard to find toilet paper taking toilet paper
from businesses and taking it home you know taking it just just taking it like you know
you go to like a you go to like a grocery store bathroom and you take a roll of toilet paper home
you don't you don't like take a whole pack but you know you take a roll from it's there for you
to use it's offered so i see what you're saying it's different than like stealing a pack off the
shelf is your point i see yeah you're not stealing a pack of toilet paper but you're going and you're
taking like a roll from a gas station bathroom you know i actually did i don't want to get in
college oh get him get him get him get him i know where you're at on the scale of zero to 20
all right so this is real middle of the road i feel so you put the covid skew in there so i think
you could be like okay it's a minor crisis happening but there's desperation in there and
you know you gotta make do you gotta go do do you gotta make do for you do do and you gotta you gotta
get the toilet paper wherever you can but it's kind of still stealing it so i guess i'm gonna go
edge towards towards unethical you guys are killing this game i don't know if it's good for
me that you're guessing so close but man i'm liking it what was it a wade was going for eight
i was gonna say eight first i went ah i was thinking eight ah i figure like that seven to
nine range is it's pretty hard to distinguish but i was like okay you're still taking that's bad
from what you were saying mark i was like oh no it's gonna be above 10 oh no you were you were
locked in you you got it
as soon as he went but it's still stealing i was like nah he's got it it's still unethical he's
gonna go with the high the high single digits i have to say we lived in california for like the
all of the pandemic basically we never i don't know where this did happen i've seen so many
memes about all the toilet paper stuff and i know what happened did you guys experience that
do you ever have like we certainly had to wear like oh the toilet paper shelves are like half
empty that's weird i never went to the store and was unable to get toilet paper we weirdly had
bought like a pack but right before they started becoming hard to get we bought like a 24 pack or
something so we were pretty well stocked for a little while but there were definitely points
where we were like thank god we already had that in the house because the shelves were empty damn
and then like here and there whenever it was like when there's like a few eight packs or something
we would like grab one or grab a you know we would grab something to hold us over so we never
didn't have any we definitely went to the store at points and saw none on the shelves i yeah i don't
know how much toilet paper people are going through and why how many how many squares do you guys use
if i do but i don't know how many squares do you guys use i don't know how many squares do you guys use
i probably use four squares anywhere between like two to four groupings of white like depending on
if it's if it's real bad it might take a number of wipes but like i don't know some in the range
of eight to twelve squares maybe total for a for like a regular had a good poop situation the only
reason we ever bought large quantities because we had so many damn bathrooms these midwestern houses
have so many bathrooms so we always like to have like two or three extra rolls per bathroom we
yeah we buy we buy costco packs of toilet paper just because when you buy it's like a bunch of
six packs and we're like this bathroom gets a six pack this bathroom gets a six and by the time
you're done with that you have like a few left over but yeah so we had just done that right
before they became it became hard to get toilet paper and it was like well thank god we did that
yeah one mega roll should last a human a month right one and i feel like that that kind of
tracks for me see my other issue is though there are times where i'll like take toilet paper to
like blow my nose and stuff like that too so yeah see i know people do that and i really try not to
because sometimes you don't have kleenex and you just like especially if you get sick and you happen
to not have a box kleenex in the house or whatever like i just want something flushable so i'm not
contributing to garbage is that weird oh you can flush anything as long as it goes through the
toilet flushed no consequences after that oh man bob that's a four it's a four bob uh i could flush
you robert de niro
hey you did the face i have nipples can you flush me it's crazy i love that movie it's my favorite
scene from that movie weren't they making a third one am i crazy are they making a yes it was like
announced i saw like a trailer for it or something man do i not need to see that mark i have sent you
your next assignment wade i will tell you the scale for this one is zero is completely boring
and 20 is completely exciting
the most exciting man we have such different tastes i'm curious which way we'll go on this
a walk through a museum you have been to before do you like this museum yeah you you like it yeah
you like the music yeah you like me i've done this a lot james james loves the cincinnati museum
center i've been there a bunch so i've gone back to the museum i'm walking through it i like the
museum i've been there before so it's not like the most exciting thing ever but it's still i'd still
be excited to do it so i'm going to say that i'm going to go to the museum i'm going to go to the
museum i'm going to go to the museum i'm going to go to the museum i'm going to go to the museum
that's the first one yeah that's the first one that's a little ways off you know i feel like
bob fished that out of me because he asked if i liked it and i'm like i was just gonna leave that
to that so i was gonna say like that's fair if you hadn't said that i would have probably got
more like a 10 but oh wait so we're saying i spoiled the results i think i think you spoiled
the results there well listen i've i've while while we've been doing this i have been rethinking the
point situation for the psychics if you sincerely would have guessed 10 you would have guessed 10
which you said offhandedly before i made this offer and i'm the one who spoiled it 10 was what
he was going for 10 would have been exactly correct that was pretty middle of the road
until it was like a museum i like that did sway me more toward like the 10 to 11 to 15 range because
that was pretty what that would mean if i'm going to give you credit for that is that you would get
the point but the psychic who gets the exact correct guess gets two lie points and the fates
will decide what happens
i'm fine with that because that is that is what i was going to go for i said it so like i'm not
going to retract it that's about where i was at was like an even 10 all right i will try to shut
my goddamn trap i need to understand again what lie points mean because i think there's a thing
on the wheel that says lie points are absolute lie points don't count unless you hit that thing
on the wheel is what i thought that meant lie lie points because the points are a lie but then
there are things on the wheel where the lie points then do count do we have negative points
become positive on there yeah well that's what absolute means yeah there's a point where lie
points become absolute but i don't know if there's a thing where all negative points become absolute
i could add that i could add that as my that's a good yeah we can do that yeah now i'm trying to
remember what what the hell it means then there's incentive for the judges to give more negative
points just to have some stuff out there because uh and we know that when as soon as we add
something to the wheel it will be hit 10 times even more times than we spend it it will be hit
man remember whenever viewers and listeners used to get it all the time anyway good thing
we deleted those show you the wheel we didn't delete nothing that's why it sucks but sometimes
it's funny and we just need to hit the exact right scenario wait for whoever's cloth is more
off the bone today what does that mean i don't remember that reference at all that's like half
the shit we see on there uh i don't think it's that obscure but now i really want whose cloth
is more off the bone yeah stop giving me ideas i already have two i need to add to the wheel now
listen turn of the century mark calm down cool your jetsy all right wait i sent you the next one
and mark you'll be great at this this scale is zero is the most niche emoji and 20 is the most
common popular emoji so 20 would be like smiley face and zero would be like i don't know what's
one i can't think of because i don't use it zero would be red car in traffic some shit is that an
emoji it's probably out there can i just say i'm i'm really proud to no one has immediately looked
at it and like mouthed the number or just said it instinctively because every i'm sending 74
man i'm trying this is because i've got to i've got to think about how everyone else uses them
not just yeah you you kind of know what emojis i use you do mark does have and mark has an
interesting library of emojis that he goes to
he doesn't just stick i only ever use the like suggested ones so i think i use thumbs up and
happy face and that's about it maybe the hundred once in a while i'm going to say the like
flapping your hands emoji okay just the hands by themselves like the one that goes between words
when you're like he did not flinch 20 is the most common right yes 20 is the most popular common
zero is the most niche of the smiling
faces emojis obviously like regular smile would be up there for most common all happens all the
time and then there's actually kind of a spread of the various smiles that go down in popularity
from like the melty face to the to the you know the the the the horny one you know that one i i
also would say the horny one i think i know what you mean uh so there's there's all kinds of things
with the hand ones there's the pointings thumbs up the clapping and then prayer hands of those
are the most popular if i'm trying to think of it like this it's like thumbs up maybe this is kind
of up there too at least for me but i don't use this very much and like what i was saying it's
kind of niche in its utility it's not like when people are saying that was that was a great video
they're going yeah that's not how they're using it it's really only used for yes period but it's
still used a good bit i want to say like 13. wow you guys are still locked in what was it
it was 14. oh that's also i was thinking 14 man the way you were talking through i was like dude
he could say a 6 he could say a 20 i have no idea okay no not 20 we're going we're like the 15 6 to
15 range i literally was like 14 no 14 no 13 fuck every time i do it to myself but see as far as
the game though mark 13 is what you want because you still get the point you don't get any more
points for an exact guess but then wade didn't get his lie point
i'm just glad that i'm doing well enough to where you're like in the range that makes me happy so
whatever the points are whatever man i was thinking this one would be kind of weird because
i couldn't play it with myself you know to sort of like see so i wasn't sure if this was going to
be a game that would be like impossible or what you guys are killing it right now dude i was going
through and i was like okay crying is popular kissing is popular hearts are popular cry laughing
is popular thumbs up's popular and then maybe that one is like six that's how i got there
you
all right mark i sent you another one wade the scale on this one is that zero is a bad first
date the worst first date even and 20 is a great first date best one you could think of i got it
i don't even need to think about it you went on the date you came home dropping her off
a nice firm handshake okay
that's below average
it's not
i said nice
nice firm hand a good handshake is what i heard this firm it's firm it's a firm handshake okay
let me walk through the words that you said here you went out no description of the date but
afterward you were still driving her she didn't call for someone she didn't lie to get out of it
so you were still together so it's closer to probably an average below average date firm
handshakes
that's not good
that's not good
not a slap but like how much worse could it get or you know what would be like a
a three versus like a seven on this that's you know oh three is pretty bad isn't it i mean
a three would be like a one out of ten which i know it's just a different scale of numbers but
i feel like we have a much stronger frame of reference for you still drove them home and you
had the firm handshake didn't go well didn't go poorly that's a seven that's close it's
close-ish it's close-ish mark was going for a ten i should have said a smile and a firm handshake
honestly just a little bit of affirmation because like you yeah but i mean i figured it had to be
below average if you're ending in a handshake that's not a negative interaction it just means
like oh we're not we're not fit to date you know like we're cool we had fun but like i guess in my
brain i was thinking average you're probably going on a second date yeah you're probably
going on a second date but you might go on a second date here if i ended with a handshake i
I don't know either one of us be reaching back.
i'd say it's a coin flip but whether you're going on a second date if you get a handshake which
would put it right in the middle i mean like if you get the handshake but then you come back and
you're like look i have a way cooler date let's let's do this like if you come back with a nice
thoughtful proposition of some sort like how about this you could get a shot that's fair i was
anywhere between my honestly i was between a seven eight nine and i just just i don't know i felt so
awful for this imaginary person wade just doesn't think as much of handshakes as we do mark yeah
yeah i said nice and firm nice and firm if you're going inside it's like this was a crazy first date
if you're getting a kiss it's like okay that's that's pretty darn good to me a hug is maybe
you're getting a second date that's still like above average though i would say if it ends with
a hug that's a good sign you're getting a second date that's a good sign it went well and it's just
like okay well maybe maybe you just need more time to hang out maybe the date did not involve a lot
of talking right and it's like well we should we should hang out some more i don't think i've ever
shaken a person's hand after a date well maybe you're doing it wrong even the bad ones i think
ended in like a hug but i it's been 15 years i don't remember so oh yeah that's the other thing
i forgot to mention during the small talk molly and i've been dating for 14 years as of a day
before this recording so that's low energy unfocused foggy you might be dehydrated
gatorade zero powders have been scientifically designed to help improve hydration balance in
the body with a clinically proven electrolyte blend
and no artificial colors or flavors great tasting hydration no matter where you're going
shop now online or at retailers nationwide gatorade hydrates better than water is it in you
symptoms noted are signs of mild to moderate dehydration consult a health care professional
if symptoms persist crazy and how many of those dates ended with a nice handshake well most of
the dating period was spent on minecraft so i don't think you could shake hands back then
i mean servers they need you need to handshake to uh connect to them so i think you know hop on
skype turn the camera on that was a fun time building that castle
something about the handshake being offered at face level i was very like
i think the dating one's a hard one it's hard for me to think of like individual numbers in there
it's like stormed out hit that's more personal too in a way maybe that made that more difficult
right because everyone kind of feels i just don't differentiate the different numbers there
that's a tough thing to differentiate
wait i just set you your next one all right mark this scale is zero is a young person's name
and 20 is an old person's name young to old yes for the listeners out there wade's thinking so
hard that you can see the steam coming off of his bald bald head i can wow i can hear it you could
hear a little sizzle sam cook bacon on his head sam cook a full english on there have the beans
coming out of his mouth like a waterfall
i don't have many examples of something i think of for this so well you know people of all sorts
of ages think about their names if you remember them i have a lot of ideas that i'm like wait
that's bofa that's bofa bovanista yeah it's names of like oh that's a that's a young name and an old
name i need to hit somewhere either in the middle or toward one of those extremes you know you do
need to hit somewhere between zero and 20 that's for sure i should i didn't realize i was gonna
need a timer i assume we'd all have god
i hate this one bob i actually hate this one i'm gonna have to ask you to pick a name can i name
one for each gender if it gets an answer right now yes liam and maddie liam and maddie weirdly
enough that doesn't help me much at all uh liam feels relatively new ish younger ish i think
maddie that that is short for madison which even that isn't the oldest name it's not like margaret
or you know
marabeth or something like that so it's on the younger side which would be lower right
younger is lower older is higher so in the grand scheme of naming it's skewing young
but i feel like there might be younger names out there but it's pretty it's pretty down there and
i've done this multiple times where i think of a number and then i skew it one number away
i'll go five oh my number was three okay all right
okay that's gonna earn you a point that's gonna earn you a point so the one of the first names i
thought of i was like oh i'll just say james because james is like actually basically like
three right now what a hint i was like but james is kind of a name that could fit anywhere on the
spectrum and then i thought of liam but i was like ah what if he thinks liam neeson leo neeson's like
900 years old that's what i thought i did not think liam sounded that young when you said liam
first i was like oh no yeah i think it's a more common younger name and then maddie i know some
like madison's and maddie's that are young but i think it's a more common younger name and then
i was like but the name madeline could be short for mad like maddie could be short for madeline
and madeline doesn't sound like a younger name at this point right like that's a more of a middle of
the road or higher name so any of the names i thought of individually i was like oh that could
be skewed i was like if i say two names that both kind of skew young maybe i yeah i got you i got
you man well you got mark a point so i was like there's not that many wades wade's becoming more
popular but if i say way they're gonna say oh man that's old because because me yeah we would
so i i was going through it that was a really hard one for me to think of names
i also don't have no idea what like the latest trends on names was so i have no clue but you
hit close to my number and i'm happy about that that's all we need this is going to be the last
one because okay it did go first uh zero on this one is would not survive the apocalypse
20 is definitely would survive the apocalypse does this have to be real people or
it could be anything you want i'm not i'm trying to put almost no limits on the the clue
i almost just said the the number out out loud again i i that would help me immensely you want
a hint wade just wash my mouth it might slip out joel from the last of us okay he's great until he
doesn't spoilers um survive um okay i want to rehash what you said you said joel from the last
of us oh please don't do this please don't do this you didn't say part two right what are you
now he's trying to separate one from two and don't do this it's the same i can tell you wade it's the
same guy okay well hold on the apocalypse happens joel survives he survives a while he's a very good
survivor but then ultimately he's not my initial thought is somewhere right around a 15 would i say
joel's higher than a 15 i don't know how niche your explanation is getting versus just picking
a person that you thought he said like seven words he did not there is not a lot of niche to it i'm
but i do i do just want to help mark out he did keep it pretty simple i don't think there's a lot
of secret messaging built into that one unless there is which case i'm ruining everything i'm
gonna go one up and say a 16 that's a really good guess mark was trying to get you to guess 17 okay
because i was like man he's above he's above a 15 he's gotta be but like he's gotta be right yeah i
would be like he would be at 20 if he didn't you know so i was like man this could be as high as an
a 75th percentile maybe i don't know so it could even be a 17 i went 16 i went once closer than what
i was my original no you still that was pretty much optimal for you wade you didn't give out
any free points for getting it exactly right but you nailed it well you guys did so much better at
that than i i was worried it was gonna be like no one ever gets it ever i wasn't sure how hard it
would be that worked out great nah he and i were locked in we were locked in you guys were like
cheating or some shit that was crazy that's what we were doing it took a while for us to text each
other the other numbers thank god you had us do you have any more questions or anything like that
we're using our phones mark say 16 right now i think the one where wade took forever to think
he was like like his phone froze or something he was like i gotta text mark
no particular order mark you earned points for avoiding prison uh passing out and or puking
except you didn't i was gonna take that away if you did end up puking but you didn't
happy tears for my footholds i think you earned a lymph point you got points for
the game for correctly guessing how pessimistic it was uh about the toilet paper ethics popularity
of emojis and the youngness of the names wade gave you wade you earned points for sports gummy
bears ho ho ho ho ho ho whoa johnny bravo um how much do you even lymph bro you guessed you
guessed correctly on the freshness of the memes uh the excitingness of the museum you had a point
for cloth off the bone and bofa and you also guessed correctly on joel from the last of us
leaving mark with eight points plus two lie points which as of yet don't mean anything but
could swing the whole thing potentially and wade with nine points so wade is winning no no this is
not there cannot be another wade has the most points but loses i can't go through it again
how would even that could happen the real number for winning was actually eight so you were close
i know man how many spins will there be not just one okay it's one okay that's good for somebody
uh bonus points well i'm still do i add cloth off the bone or do i add absolute value because
i really like both of those one of them will just be removed one day when we're like what
what even i think you can do both i'm not gonna stop you you're you're the judge so who's cloth
was more off the bone this episode.
it's gonna get removed immediately it's gonna come up in like like nine months that's gonna
come back up for the first time and we're gonna be like i can delete that is this how all of our
other stuff that makes no sense got onto we're just like oh this will be funny for us next year
i mean honestly i would love to say that but it's not true usually we're like yeah this means
something to us it's real it's real and then it's not real this is real man all right one spin oh
please don't do that to me oh please great wheel competitor who was born first damn unless
if i call the thing on that could it potentially make him oh god what the fuck you make you older
than him somehow there's one way to find out all right i'm gonna call it unfair just because
so if it's heads then it's unfair if it's tails i'm doubly the oldest unfair on way
being
born first if it's all heads mark wins and it needs to be made fair so i will be older than you
and if it's all tails mark loses and i would say doublet doubly fair would be wade was born before
everyone oh yeah oh boy he's he's i'm gonna get old i got heads oh shit oh thank god because i
got heads i can reflip if you guys want to gamble all right so wade was born first and that's that
the truth which means that today's episode winner with 10 points is wade i didn't mean to sound so
disappointing when it's wade everybody the comeback starts now i have at least two more
points than everyone else now based on what i think i was told earlier this episode i've at
least got a bronze medal in wins that's definitely true this is definitely hey break this meme this
is the meme where i'm on the podium biting the metal kissing the lady and shooting off the champagne
then i'm in third place yeah that would have still been in kind of the right zone for me i think that's
a good that's a good like above average meme i did it all right mark loser speech oh well you know
i tried my best i still don't understand what i could have done differently to get more points
because i was unsure if me doing well meant i got points or if me doing poorly meant i lost points
didn't seem that way but it didn't matter because i had fun and that's the end of the story for me
my story ends now
sam end my story
he should have kept his cloth more off the bone there's anything we can take from this episode
it's definitely that someone's gonna say that shit to me on twitter in person i'd be like dude
cloth off the bone like what the fuck are you talking about i'm gonna have no recollection of
this and about get away from me you freak your cloth away from my bone what's your name like

Podcast Summary Short Detailed
Key Points: The hosts discuss symptoms of dehydration, such as low energy and foggy thinking, and promote Gatorade Zero as a scientifically formulated, fast-acting rehydration solution. The episode features a playful game where two hosts act as psychics and guessers, assigning numbers to abstract scales like pessimism, ethics, and popularity of emojis. Personal anecdotes are shared about health challenges, including family medical issues, back pain, and a foot injury that resulted in a temporary increase in foot holes. A humorous segment highlights the hosts’ reactions to various topics, including corsets, lymphatic system myths, and the absurdity of AI-generated jokes. The hosts humorously debate the origin of names, the excitement of a museum visit, and the survival of characters from "The Last of Us" in an apocalypse. The episode concludes with a points-based game where Wade wins with 10 points, despite earlier claims of being the "biggest loser," emphasizing the absurdity of the scoring system. A recurring theme is the blending of absurdity and personal storytelling, reflecting the show’s chaotic, anecdote-driven style. The hosts acknowledge that some jokes and references, like "cloth off the bone," are likely meaningless but add to the show’s whimsical and unstructured charm. Summary: The episode of *Distractible* blends humor, personal anecdotes, and light-hearted games to explore topics ranging from dehydration and health struggles to absurd internet culture and random trivia. Hosts Bob, Mark, and Wade share real-life experiences, such as family health issues, foot injuries, and the challenges of wearing compression gear, while poking fun at societal norms like corsets and the lymphatic system. A central game involves guessing numerical values on abstract scales—such as ethical toilet paper behavior or the excitement of a museum visit—using creative examples.
The hosts also engage in playful debates about names, pop culture, and survival in an apocalypse, culminating in a humorous scoring system where Wade wins despite early missteps. The episode underscores its signature style: chaotic, self-aware, and filled with nonsensical references like “cloth off the bone,” which the hosts later acknowledge may be meaningless but adds to the show’s charm. While the content is often improvised and lacks clear structure, it creates an engaging, relatable, and deeply human atmosphere that resonates with listeners through shared absurdity and personal vulnerability.
The overarching message is that everyday life—filled with health issues, random jokes, and questionable decisions—can be both funny and meaningful when viewed through a lighthearted lens.
