How different would the vibe of the podcast be if it was hosted by George, Mark, and Robert
It's kind of funny to me how weird Bob and Wades actual first names sound when you say them like that, somehow it just has a completely different energy.
Mark doesn't really have an equivalent of this unless he went by his middle name Edward like Wade does
Inside jokes! Let's talk about it.. them?
I, as many others, love this podcast! There have been so many jokes, that became references, something relevant or jokes.
As an example there's a point for callbacks on the wheel, so whenever a callback happens I shout "callback!"
Other than that we have:
"Expound!"
"Look at my ass"
"... And I turned around"
Triangle of fairness
But what do you remember?
#Comment your funny recurring what nots
#Your additions:
I see two paths!
"Dear Penthouse Forum... "
Drive and Listen to Distractible!... or maybe don't
Wade is Bald!
"Editors, send me to Guam!"
"I know this one!"
peace out
Haha Mark is short!
"Fuck your dreams, fuck your nightmares!
#Honorable mentions:
My x are fine, thanks for asking
Boldemort's intros
Riddles, rhymes, you speak one, I the other - or smth like that
BOB'S FRIDGE!! ofc, not fitting what I originally had in mind. But it's one of my all time favorite episodes! Hence it is included.
It finally happened.
I always laughed at all the "dont listen to distractible while driving or you'll crash haha!" In the episodes, thinking surely SURELY you must jest.
Well it fucking happened.
Deadass WHEN THEY WERE JOKING ABOUT IT in the episode "Bobs Baby" (im behind and trying to catch up chill on me), I laughed so hard at the entire bit about trying to crash on purpose due to it being so funny that I genuinely didnt notice some fuck ass SUV running a red light as I was going (I had a green light mind you). I only noticed when the SUV HITS MY CAR FULL FORCE AND FLIPS ME OVER.
And another fun note, my car KEPT PLAYING DISTRACTIBLE as I was HANGING UPSIDE-DOWN.
Though i will admit i still laughed at the irony ajd the podcast while waiting for police to arrive.
But holy crap guys, what an insane way to listen to Distractible.
I am okay tho!! And the SUVs insurance is covering most of it thankfully, but holy crap Mark Bob and Wade, stop being so funny >:(
Was listening to distractible at work. Not a good idea
lives were changed when drake ulysses la dropped
no editing btw he just does that
Distracti-Coin
I finished designing the Distracti-coin (main change from previous post is color swapping the green to red on the Unfair side) and just received them in the mail!
If I ever run into Bob or Wade in the wild (I live in Cincinnati and go to several of the places they've mentioned on the pod) it will make for an interesting and memorable Bounty Coin Flip. Or if they see this and DM me. Whatever happens, happens. 🤷
I DECLARE UNFAIR!
One of my favorite parts of Distractible is hearing unfair and the hijinks that ensue. Tried to replicate the speach bubble text "objection!" from Ace Attorney.
ITS CHECK THE LUNGS! STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE IS CHECK THE LUNGS!!!
Me during the latest episode, i really hope they dont/didnt get rid of that spin option because i thought it was hilarious XD
Thank you for 5 years, Lads!
I know I’m late on the actual anniversary but I wanted to say thank you, Bob, Mark, and Wade. Over the past five years, Distractible has been a constant for me.
My first episode was Dating Advice while on my 6 hour drive to move in to my freshman year of college. Since then I’ve been hooked and have been an avid listener (I know, I know). Over the past five years a lot has changed for me.
After my freshman year, my mother past away from terminal cancer. During my junior year, my father passed away from a sudden heart attack. I changed my major. It took me 5 years to graduate with my degree. I’m currently trying to break into the film industry. But through all of it, Distractible has been the one constant thing for me.
Every Monday when I didn’t feel like going to class, I’d put in my earbuds while walking to my 8am and smile because of you guys. Every road trip back home to help with both my parents passing was made a little easier because I was smiling and laughing the whole drive, even when stuck in stand still traffic. So I just wanted to say thank you.
Mark, thank you for inspiring me to chase my dream of being a filmmaker. I’ve loved listening to your journey through Iron Lung and hope to one day work with you on a project.
Bob, thank you for restoring my faith in what it means to be a good dad. Your journey with James has reopened my mind to maybe having kids one day. I hope he grows up to appreciate you and all you do for him.
Wade, thank you for your wisdom and philosophy. It truly is fascinating to listen to you go on and on about moral and ethical dilemmas with the boys.
Thank you to the editors for making the visual gags audible when the boys are too in a bit to remember not everyone is watching.
Thank you so much for five years of Distractible! I’m excited to see what you guys do with the Scary Tapes. Take care of yourselves.
My adhd mother has finally started listening after I’ve been asking for months, and… 🤣 sorry Bob 😂❤️
I wish so badly that Mark would've done a Stan the Water Man callback here.
I'm not sure if Bob would've got the reference. I'm not even sure if Mark remembers doing that lol. But I wanted it.
(I don't use reddit often so I'm unsure what flair fits this particularly)
Scary Story Recommendations
I am loving the vibe of the scary tapes episodes. The stories are great, the sound effects and music add to the atmosphere really well and it's just generally delightful to listen to.
Now I'm looking for shows/podcasts/old episodes/audio books that give off the same energy as the scary tapes. I like the way Mark, Bob and Wade read the stories and I also appreciate the little commentary at the end.
Any recommendations?
Is this a cannoli?
Edit: mashed potatoes wrapped in ham
Scary Wall
I got my scary tape today, decided to have a scary wall! I absolutely love this stuff (also included scary merch and ship of teeseus I also got)
The portrayal of Maria
The author Violet is incredibly vulnerable in her depiction of the CEO beating Maria the animatronic AI. It was reminiscent of how revered the help and form of a woman is. The sexism of different digital voices - such as Siri - having the voice of a woman is an imminent threat to womankind. Then Siri takes physical form as Maria. We’re objectified into mothers, assistants, confidants and therapists…. Thank you Violet for how far in >!you!< went.
Men try to create “life” and fail every time. Dr. Frankenstein and his Monster, Adam and his rib creating Eve… the CEO and Maria.

Candy Uncle
Today I learned that "Uncle Charlie" is a candy-carrying clown animatronic originally released by Spirit Halloween in 2010, but released again in 2020. Even Wade's Candy Uncle is stolen
