Reverse Charades

The episode of Distractible blends humor, personal storytelling, and a playful game of Reverse Charades, where Mark and Wade take turns describing actions for each other to guess. Mark recounts his confusing honeymoon in Iceland, where he failed to understand the Blue Lagoon, while Wade shares his ongoing soreness from basketball and a desire to upgrade his wardrobe. The core gameplay involves physical descriptions leading to comedic misunderstandings, such as "spider web," "loiterer," and "doubloon," with Bob occasionally stepping in to guide the flow. The show is punctuated by frequent jokes, physical exaggerations, and self-deprecating humor. A recurring promotional segment highlights BJ’s Wholesale Club, promoting a $20 membership with savings on groceries and gas. Ultimately, the episode celebrates spontaneity, friendship, and the absurdity of everyday situations, all while maintaining a lighthearted tone and strong comedic pacing. The final game point is settled with a humorous tie, and the hosts jokingly suggest that infinite follows on the podcast could lead to infinite luck, reinforcing the show’s playful and unpredictable spirit.

Merrily married Mark plans his honeymoon, gets hot and wet in Iceland. Crashes Wade and deftly describes. Wardrobe Wonder Wade gets sore, considers a sartorial upgrade, and gives impossibly vague descriptions. From statistically stupid. Snuffing it. To having a huge "O". Yes! It's time for. Reverse Charades. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted. And enjoy the show. Hello and welcome back to your mom's favorite podcast. Yeah, I've probably used that one before. Who cares? This is Distractible and I'm allowed to reuse ideas. That's what we do here. My name's Bob and I'm the host. 'Cause I won the last one. Oh. I'm fine. That's no, that's, they'll cut that out, I'm sure. I won the last one. 'Cause I'm so smart and good at not dying on camera. I'm joined today, as always, by the two competitors in this episode. They will be competing to see who wins and gets to host the next one. That's the whole thing. Yeah, that's what we do. Um, my competitors are, as always, Mark and Wade. Not always. Sometimes I've been known to host. Uh, pleasure to be here. Robert, thanks for having me. So, well, that was very serious. What, did someone die? Probably. I think, statistically, the answer to that's yes. Well, that's not good. And again, just now. Okay, calm down. Welcome back to another episode of Distractible. If you're here, you know what's gonna happen. Unless you're new. In which case. God, I hope you're watching the video. God, you better be watching. You know how we feel about listeners. But, yeah, I have a game prepared for today. And it's gonna be really funny. Just like they always are. We never miss here. Before we get into the definitely funny game. How you doing, guys? How's it going? By the time this has come out. I will have. Honeymooned. I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen ahead of time. As if it's already happened. Holy shit, this is all planned out. Mark, Mark, some of this could stay secret. It's okay. You don't have to vlog everything. Here's an hour-by-hour breakdown of exactly how this adventure is gonna go down. The hour's pretty generous, but alright. Minute by minute. That's pretty generous, but alright. By hour by by hour. Semi-hour by semi-hour. First, I arrive. Where? I don't know. Let me tell you a story that has nothing to do with this and is relating to something that happened in the past. I arrived in Iceland. And when we were landing, I had read over the itinerary, right? We were going on a little vacation package. So this is gonna relate to this somehow. You'll see. It'll all tie back together. You got some leniency, but you better get to the point, Counselor. I looked at the itinerary, and I was like, "Oh, we're going to the Blue Lagoon resort." Right? Or hotel or something like that. I don't know. It's the Blue Lagoon. Just a lagoon. And I was like, "Iceland. Yeah, they got weird names over there. It's probably just a funny hotel." You know Iceland, with their funny names and all that stuff and silly words and the way they eat. They eat their horses. It's funny. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I see all over, there's like advertisements on the plane, on the little screen, that's like, "The Blue Lagoon." You know Icelandic? Yeah, Icelandic. Yeah, the famous Icelandic accent. Yeah, yeah. "The Blue Lagoon." And I'm like, "Wait, why is everyone swimming in the Blue Lagoon?" And I'm like, "Well, that's weird. Everyone's swimming." 'Cause we're arriving at 6 a.m., right? So I'm like, "Whoa. I'm gonna be tired. I'm gonna be ready to take a nap, go to this hotel, maybe lay down for a bit, uh, relax." And then Amy leans over to me and is like, "All right, you pack swim trunks, right?" And I'm like, "What? Why would I need swim trunks in a hotel?" It's like a Bond villain hideout is where you just swim to the hotel under the lagoon. And so, I basically, uh, started, I leaned over to the person in the seat next to us and I asked, "What's the Blue Lagoon?" And they looked at me like I was crazy. They kinda chuckled them themselves. And they didn't answer, right? So now, they only spoke Icelandic. You had to, "What is the Blue Lagoon?" "What is the Blue Lagoon?" Yeah, you didn't say it right. And then I ask Amy, like, "What's the Blue Lagoon?" And she's like, "How can you not know what the Blue Lagoon is? It was on the itinerary. We're going there first. Do you have your swim trunks?" And I'm like, "What's the Blue Lagoon?" So the Blue Lagoon, I don't even know if that's the name of it, Blue Lagoon, Iceland. You're really funny if it's not. It is now. It is a very large, uh, world renowned geothermal spa in Iceland. So by asking around, or trying to anyway, Amy was extremely embarrassed by me asking what the most famous geothermal spa in Iceland was. Might as well just ask, "What's Iceland?" But she didn't tell me the entire time we were walking through the airport. So there's big wall billboards of, "Come to the Blue Lagoon." And I'm like, "I don't know what it is!" "Why won't anyone tell me?" "No one will tell me!" And literally, Amy was like, "I'm not telling you. I am not going to tell you. You should have read the itinerary." And I'm like, "I did! I swear!" Uh, so she refused to tell me until I got outside. And then we had a, like, a local guide drive us to, uh, the Blue Lagoon. And I was not allowed to ask him what it was. Amy forbade me from asking. It's a big geothermal pool. It's very nice. Sounds fun. Yeah, it was pretty nice. So I'm not going to read the itinerary for what's coming in Norway, but I assume that there's some kind of lagoon over there. You really learned your lesson. So, yeah. I'm going to know even less this time, so I won't be confused. You're just sitting on the plate in swim trunks and, like, arm floating, just looking at Amy like, "What's the lagoon? What color's the lagoon? Tell me about the lagoon." You've got your mountain climbing gear, right? Is that your parachute backpack or your regular backpack? So, uh, yeah, I got that. That's going to be the entire crux of the, uh, of the honeymoon. And that's all that's going to happen. Just every day, every activity, Amy is like, "Oh, you better get dressed." And you start pulling out your, like, polar ski outfit. Or swim. You're, like, gauging Amy's reaction, like, "Tuxedo? Not tuxedo. Nope. Didn't like that. Oh, what do we do? I'm packed for every occasion, because I have no idea what the occasions are." And then I just laugh it off when she gives me the look. And I'm just like, "That was a joke. Remember when I didn't know what the Blue Lagoon was?" She puts on, like, a hazmat suit and you're like, "The one thing I didn't pack." That's when you put on your tuxedo and go out with style. Anyway, so, yeah, I will have a honeymoon. And it will be great. I think. I hope it will be was a good time. It will was. It will was. You will have done it. Or you had already have done it. Wade, what honeymoon mystery are you experiencing in this past week have had you? You know, I don't have any alcohol down here, so I'm just going to take a sip of water, but pretend. Been a week, Bob. Been a week. Oh, okay. There it is. Yeah. Didn't get to play Slay the Spire with you guys at all this week, and I actually ate pretty well. I'm sore. You know, the people who tell you that you only get sore for, like, two days after exercising are liars. I played basketball on Monday. We got together Tuesday, right? I was like, "I'm a little sore from playing basketball." Yeah, we already talked about this this week. I'm still fucking sore! My arms still hurt! That's been four days ago! But, uh, still been moving around trying to get some exercise in, but, like, my legs are fine because I've been walking, but did not play more basketball since Monday, so tomorrow, whenever I finally stop crying, ugh, go shoot some big ol' hoops. I put on a sleeveless shirt to play, and it's one that I had when I was, like, it was ba- you know, the style when we were in high school was, like, baggy clothes. So I had this baggy basketball shirt. I put it on, and I've got, like, beer belly hanging out the- every time I jump, my, like, belly falls out of the bottom, and the shirt, like, sits on top, and my nephew's looking at me, like, "Oh, man, you really sure you wanna play that, wear that in front of your neighbors, and, you know, birds and stuff?" Like, people and animals are watching here, and really- The birds are gonna laugh at you a lot! I think they did! So, I'm- it might be time to upgrade my wardrobe a little bit, I've learned. You are allowed to buy new clothes- I mean, honestly, good on you for making clothes last, because that is, you know, fast fashion has its downsides, and it's, you know, you don't need to be going and burning through clothes, but since high school, I think you're allowed to- Oh, yeah. I think you're allowed to have bought some shirts since then. Not saying we're old, but I think we're all feeling that we're kind of old. Yeah, older than half my life ago, some of these shirts I still wear, you know, like, junior- I still have a couple of sleeveless shirts from junior high that I'm like, "Ah, my lucky sleeveless shirt, I put it on twice a year." The logo- it was like a UC Bearcat shirt, but all of the logo is gone, so now it's just like a blank red shirt with, like, one little black splotch where there was once a paw. You know, you buy more shirts. But I know what shirt it is, 'cause I know what the logo used to look like. look like you could buy uc shirts at gas stations in cincinnati it's not hard i want uc to call me and let me go and talk to their like streaming podcasting classes i know they've got them they have that we just took my niece to georgia state they had a whole building that was like technology and something i should probably know what this building was called but like yeah we have this big podcasting room and they're like different classes where they're i was like they teach podcasting what do they what i just want to be a fly on the wall and you could really benefit from that i could use a lot of help yeah do they let seniors audit classes you know like a keep active sort of thing i'm your age oh i was thinking seniors like college i was like well yeah no he met grandparents senior citizens there's like you know there's those elder education programs where it's like hey you gotta you want to do something fun come take come take some classes i grade and i bought a uc shirt and i'm like oh my god i'm gonna go to a uc shirt and i'm gonna go to a i grade and bottled early but i'm still young man that really rewrites some of our most iconic bits i just can't get out of my head now you just going i'm bottled i keep getting recommended our shorts lately i keep watching them they won't they're all pretty good we have funny moments i didn't know we were funny yeah occasionally oh sometimes if only we had our clips game on that's a bad way to say it are a highlight real goodness posting you know if we did that good think of where we would be a little bit further ahead yeah or something like that yeah a little bit louder now i really like being at college and there was a time where i thought i was gonna go into like being a college professor of philosophy till all my philosophy professors like pulled out a cigarette out of they're like don't do it you don't want to be like us do something or anything else i was like all right and they all smoke like this that's how philosophy professors smoke it's it's a part of the rules i puff therefore i am that's how they flick i don't know i never smoked yeah that's how cool people flick cigarettes i don't know i think that'd be fun it'd be fun to go just be a guest or be a fly on the wall or even just not to get a degree but just to go like sit in some of these classes and see what they're teaching because like i'm fascinated to know how do you have a whole class on doing something that i think we're pretty well i shouldn't say weird i'm pretty stupid and somehow it's worked out but like what am i supposed to be doing to get here i don't know probably exactly everything we did on the way here i know a couple of our friends have gotten to go and be like guest speakers at colleges and high schools and i'm like i want to no one because it's like being wanting to be a juror i've never had to be a juror they never call me for that either it's like the things i want to do no one ever calls me for i'm not gonna call the college be like please let me come teach you i'm begging you do you have a business email with which they could somehow yeah i never checked that okay all right then well all you university people who are typing up that email throw it in the trash it's not going to be seen i get the alumni emails where they ask me for money and do you give money do you give money no i hate those kids maybe that's maybe that's how you get into the classrooms is you need to give them the money first and then they'll let you teach i want to teach your class here's money is that how you become a teacher i guess i become a teacher yeah i'm pretty sure that's how it works i don't know what my small talk was but that was it i wrote down points great i know i'm the host so my small talk really doesn't matter and i'm not important uh get ready for a lot more of this i don't know if you can tell but i'm real crispy today was the official opening day of our pool this is the first time since we moved six plus months ago where the pool was open the chemicals were balanced which i've been battling with for like a week and a half it's been really fucking annoying and we did it and we swam in the pool like all day today and so i'm pretty red and crispy and i'm definitely gonna be kind of sunburny for the whole summer i'm used to pools that open until like may or june so it's wild that you guys are like able to swim and stuff yeah i mean it was it was not like hot today but it was warm enough and sunny and with and the pool is heated so if you were in the water it was great and as soon as you got out it was kind of like ah let's go inside you probably like cool water see i like bath water i mean it's heat it's a heated pool it's warm pool seated to like i don't know 80 some degrees 84 degrees or something it's pretty warm see i'm the guy that went to florida in july and the pool that's been sitting in the sun baking could basically boil a lobster out but i'm like oh that's great i go to the ocean like that's a little chilly even though like well the ocean is cold the ocean is still i'm talking about like the gulf in summer where it's not cold still cold so it's natural water is always cold so cold i think thanks you can have it though because you're the host anyway i'm definitely going to show up to some episodes over the course of the summer and be catastrophically sunburnt so you'll have that to look forward to it's probably going to be pretty funny it's a big pool right we could fit a pontoon or something in there so we do a boat episode no we're doing a boat episode in the pool we have to okay cool it's big enough to fit very funny things carnival or one of the cruises will sponsor us and they're going to put a cruise ship in your pool what was that private yacht collection we read commercials for can we get a private yacht in my pool oh yeah that was uh the the it was the hotel the famous hotel but they have a yacht club uh wait when the hell did you guys read a you guys read did you guys get a sponsorship that i wasn't there for no no we talked about this you were there luxury thing did you go what do you mean we talked about this i don't remember it we did a ritz carlton yacht club read the three of us did it because i remember talking about it we did a ritz carlton ad read it was the ritz carlton private yacht collection something something and i'm not gonna say it was during the part of the final final stretch of movie production where you were absolutely killing yourself working 20 hours a day fitting podcasts in with you whenever you could around the clock but you might not remember it for a reason oh did you guys get yachts and i didn't i wish i literally sent a couple emails and was like hey i know we get samples sometimes i would take a sample of a yacht i don't know how you get yacht samples but uh just send the money i learned from watching that oprah car giveaway that the people that won the car still had to pay taxes and stuff on them i don't know if i want to pay taxes on a free yacht it's why modern car giveaways are so expensive i don't know if i want to pay taxes on a free yacht so it's always like win a 2026 chevy corvette and 25 000 you don't get to keep the money that's to cover the taxes on the car yeah that makes sense i don't what's the tax on a yacht probably high well don't rich people not pay taxes there's probably no tax on a yacht it's probably a tax exempt so if they give you the yacht you become rich you don't pay taxes anymore it's a yacht for educational purposes so there's no taxes to learn about how yachts are you educate that's stupid i'm not gonna finish that word wait i don't even know where you were going yeah i was trying to buy yacht and education but it didn't yeah education but it was just the education with a yeah it was it was stupid it was stupid that's why i said stupid i didn't want to move i want to move on education that's better than yeah education yeah education education yeah education oh i didn't that was too that was something i didn't like it it was off-putting sorry all

idea for a podcast episode i typed myself a note to remember today and all i typed on the note pictionary that's literally all i wrote and i woke up today and i was like the fuck does i feel like what was the idea i stole your idea and also this could not have less to do with pictionary you know charades one person like draws a card they get a thing they have to act it out and the other people have to guess what it is we're not doing that i like to call this reverse charades one person is going to be given the card it's gonna i'm gonna they're gonna be easy that person has to tell the other person what to do and the person acting out whatever it is has to guess what the word is that they're acting out i love it all right this is great okay it's reverse or inverse charades i don't know it's different charades so we're gonna go back and forth and i'm gonna flip a coin to see who gets to go first getting some more space for this so that i know that there's gonna be a lot of

back to life i get it now i get it No, I, you just, I feel like you just kept giving up. right when Mark was on the precipice and being like, let's try something else completely. Well, I felt like I was only allowed to give him actions as clues. I couldn't just be like, synonym for. Like, I couldn't do that. So it was like, what's another action I can do to come back to life? No, I appreciate sticking to the rules. At least I didn't switch to the birth canal. I was going to go that route. That would have got me right there. I didn't have time. I was like, okay, here's sperm. You hit an egg. All right, you're popping out your baby. Oh, well, then we got to define exactly what. People are debating whether you are or are not this thing. How many weeks has it been? If only I'd gone that route. All right, Mark, are you prepared to instruct? Oh, yeah. I cannot tell if these are harder or easier.

I was thinking of like Dr. Arnold in Jurassic Park pulling the fucking power. Yeah, yeah. All right, make a humming noise. Okay, now power off dramatically. All right. That is dramatic. If my computer did that, I'd be very worried. That would be terrible news if your computer did that. That would not be good. Mark, I just want you to remember, let's both remember this when Bob gets a one-man show. All right, okay, we'll do that. We'll give him some easy words. All right, I have another easy one. Wade, are you ready for another easy one? I'm limber. Oh, fuck me. Yeah, let's do it. Wade, begin. Okay, I want you to stand with your arms at your side. Yeah, that's fine. And start counting down from like 10 in your mind. And as you get to like three, start shaking and get more and more like violent with the shaking and then slowly rise. Am I the Artemis rocket? I'm going to count that. Rocket. It's rocket. The word is rocket. Oh, thank God. I'm so good at this. I felt so much better than alive in spite. I finally at least feel competent. Oh, I'm the best. Yes, man. Yes. That was a good description, right? I finally did good. It was pretty good, yeah. But my genius interpretation of it is what gets the point here. At least I feel good about myself for a moment. After alive in spider web, I was feeling pretty low. Get ready. That's good. I'll change that. I mean, you can do whatever you want. You know that I give people points for laugh, causing me to laugh. That's true. That's true. All right, Mark, you ready? All right, set, go. Be flat. Get flat. Flatter. Get flat. Now stretch out.

Almost got you there. Alright, well I will say, I'm using, I'm just using a website for this. I didn't think of these things. I've been keeping it on easy. Oh, good. I'm gonna tweak the settings a little bit. Hmm. Well, look, there's easy, medium, hard, and really hard. And I can also pick the number of words. I'm not gonna go to the highest of either of them. Does that make you feel any better? No. Oh, those aren't related. What the fuck? Hang on. Wait. No, no, no, go for it. This is just too random. I thought it would be like. No, go for it. Okay, I'm gonna stick to one word. Oh, you thought it was gonna be like a phrase? Yeah, I would. The first one was muscle drums. I was like, that's not a thing. That's not a thing. Alright, uh, it's Wade's turn again. And since we're making it more difficult, I'm gonna take 30 seconds away from you. Okay, good. So you have two minutes, 30 seconds.

Well, I, I was going for the, for some weird reason, the first thing I thought of was the alcohol. Captain whatever the fuck. I, I loved it. That was great. Put your leg up. Immediately I could see Mark's face was like, my leg is up. Well, I was like, picture the guy with his leg on the barrel with the captain's hat. I was like, wait, I can't say that. You know, Captain Morgan. That's his name. I couldn't, I couldn't think of the name. I was like. You know, that guy. Hmm, hmm, Morgan. Huh? Put your leg up on a barrel and hand me alcohol. Who are you? All right.

leaning up against a post or something you got your back leaning up uh and you're gonna stand there look at your watch uh and kind of look around with like a dirty look right now you're just gonna keep on standing there and pretend someone approaches you uh a police officer approaches you and they point and gesture at you and kind of like wave yeah yeah and then start walking away and then you stop walking and you lean up against the post again and then you're gonna look smugly back in the direction of the cop and then just stand there and look at your watch i'm i'm a criminal i'm i'm loitering i'm i'm a loiterer i'm a loiterer yes oh my god it's i'm a loiterer it's literally loiterer oh god you're so smart and beautiful oh i really pieced it together after a while there i really pieced together yeah god i can't well i can't believe you got that sometimes i feel like i'm like am i allowed to describe this that was so good when you started and he was he was kind of just doing it i was like i don't know if mark's following him along on this but he did he took the journey that was so beautiful i if you hadn't gotten there from i was like i have no other directions for you how else do i describe loitering other than someone who is loitering mark i'm so sorry that was great the only reason i know is because brian regan what you're in for loitering as soon as i saw the word i was like mark and i could get this in two seconds you're in prison a guy looks at you and is like what are you in for loitering i'm a loiterer i don't have anywhere to be i didn't have that knowledge some of us are better friends than others are we bad friends for not showing him brian regan probably probably i'm objectively a bad friend to wade we live close enough that we can hang out all the time and i just don't ever we don't do that you don't do it either it's not like you text me a lot and i say no but i don't do it either and i i get i get credit for that for being for not being a very good friend that's totally fair same here mark i'm real sorry about this by which i mean i'm sure it's going to be fine and i'm 90 sure this is equally as hard as loiterer was but you have to tell it to wade ready set charade uh put your leg up on the thing now fix your hat like it's real fancy now you've got something big and heavy carrying with both hands hobbling along my leg's still up okay yeah yeah you stand up and you have a big heavy thing and you're one one leg pirate chest booty okay and then you set it set it down sit back down okay rub your hands like this greed

part your beard i feel like you're over restricting yourself i think you could have you could have said some more words in there but you did it you did it honorably and you did it well i could have told you to get flat you should be grateful get flat i got flat so much today all right that was really good i am now realizing i may have set the points up in a way that rewarded the wrong person uh wade in no particular order you earned points for being a you got spider web you got rocket you gave mark a very dramatic shut off uh you got captain and you got loiterer uh mark you got points for finally going on your honeymoon or have had been had gone in the whatever points for what's the lagoon points for keeping your honeymoon a mystery to keep it spicy uh you got points for getting sheep line and doubloon and you got points for get flat flatter stay flat uh leaving the final score eight for wade seven for mark i really thought mark would be ahead at this point i honestly think there were definitely a couple moments where i really laughed at something that wade did didn't give him a point for it or anything and then we just continued i'm not cognitively at my peak i can't lie boys i'm a little tired all day in the sun we'll do that to you you know yeah sounds like it's a really rough day hanging out at the pool too much pool and sunshine for me that's terrible i'm so sorry hank

the point you know what i mean just men mean men men you know what i mean men you know what i meant anyway one spin i'm sure nothing bad will happen so hypothetically if like you know my car gets
