The "I'll do that later" is such a horrible habit. I once had a mouse trap kill a mouse, and it was in a slightly inconvenient place behind our boiler and forgot about it. When i got back to it, it had already started decomposing💀
@@tazkannon7403Yeah. I had a cat that I kinda had to train as a mouser. Construction near my house, meeses looking for a new home, I'm sure you see where that's going. So apparently my cat had killed a mouse, and hidden it in my closet. How one teensy little mouse made half of my home smell like absolute decay, and hatred, is beyond me. Never again. Bad smell? Investigate immediately
thats just me with dishes in the sink. I live alone but fo some reason i got 4 plates, 6 bowls, a dozen silverware, a pan and cutting board just sitting in the sink for almost 3 weeks.
Oh man I think I burst a blood vessel laughing at this one. Primarily at Mark's "And the filter gets replaced once every time I remember." and it was all downhill from there. Jesus H Christ I think I need to lie down.
This is by far the most important podcast for me right now. I'm about to redo my entire office to make room for a side gig, and I have ADHD. This is what I keed right now lol.
As an IT professional installer, the best way to setup a desk, in my professional opinion, is to always set the monitor and peripherals, route their cables to where you want the PC to be, tie the cables, set the PC, and then connect everything, bundling the excess cable ends on the PC side of the connection.
i genuinely laughed myself to tears at work hearing about Mark's adhd. the coffee story had me squeaking in my little corner trying to contain myself. By the time Mark wasn't ready to start the round I was wiping tears while having to force myself to breathe
I have never thought this before today, but bravo to Bob for giving me the image of quote “like a sniper pissing…”. Now I have an image of a sniper destroying urinal cakes WITH ACCURACY. Or distorting pine cones in the forest on a camping trip. Or taking out falling snow flakes ❄️ as they drift drown from the clouds. “Pissing like a sniper”! Thank you Bob!! lol
I'm the type of person who follows the instructions, but unlike Wade, I meticulously put something together to make sure it's done right. It takes extra time, but I'm able to step back and be satisfied that the thing I made will last and be stable.
Lmao went shopping with my mum and we grabbed butter chicken sauce cuz we thought we were out and when we got home I looked in the fridge after she stocked it to see our brand new one RIGHT NEXT TO A PERFECTLY GOOD SEALED ONE OF THE EXACT SAME BRAND. She didn’t even notice when she placed the other one next to it and we both died laughing. Edit: So in other words, yeah we’ve done that thing too where you forget you have something and buy it again
Been my go to sleeo recently ngl, but i end up staying up to listen😭 i got work in the morning hopefully i pass out early. Stop being interesting and funny😂
As a barista, Marks way isn’t too bad. We just use a towel with our finger to get out the rest of the grounds after rinsing it out. I mean if it was bare finger in the portafilter in a public coffee shop with the amount of espresso we pull that would be unsanitary but it would also burn very badly.
I still can't wrap my head around the Maverick being a truck... my first car was a '73 Maverick with a 302. Such a fun car to drive, so many speeding tickets.
As a woman who's put lots of stuff together... you talking about the Hex key made me almost have an aneurism. Fun fact about Hex Keys: Both sides can be used to turn. If you use the shorter end, typically that's better to tighten or loosen extremely tight bolts. The Longer End allows you to get into the smaller areas and allow you to turn it without having to do the whole "Plug in-take out-plug in" situation.
i actually have a pretty specific order for making tea. i use an electric kettle so turn the kettle on to the correct temperature for the tea, because it matters, but also if i don't know i just guess instead of looking it up, then get the tea bag out of the little pouch so it's ready, then put however much honey i want for this particular cup of tea in the bottom of the cup, add some lemon if i'm having a sore throat or just want a little more flavor, then when the water is heated, this is where it gets real: put a little bit of water in the cup first to melt the honey and get it mixed in for ease of stirring because i don't want to stir around the bag, then pour the water OVER the tea bag. i have literally no idea if it makes any difference but i read once that that's how you're supposed to do it so i do. then i let it steep until it cools off enough to drink and i drink it, usually while it's still warm, or not if i forget about it, with the tea bag still in the cup because i like strong tea so i don't care if it continues steeping until i'm done with it.
i’m a starbucks barista and when there’s left over grounds we also rinse it in the sink. that’s for the coffee itself though, the espresso machine it’s collects in a pile before it’s full and we dump them. we’ve always called them the forbidden brownie because they look like brownies 😂
i feel the cup thing, most of the cups in the house end up in my room stacked on top of each other for way to long.....Au/ADHD also takes me several interactions to remember someones name, something i do with a new device of any kind after logging in is eraseing all unnecessary applications and bloat ware as well as orginiseing all of its apps and creating folders or orginisers for things before i get them. then i get a seriously drop resistance water proof case that it lives the rest of its life in. proceed to peraiodacly lose the thing several times.
The correct way to make tea. Boil water. Put tea bag in cup. Pour boiling water over teabag. Take two spoons. Lift up the teabag with one spoon and use the other to squeeze all the tea out of the teabag. Throw away the teabag. Stir. Add sweetener if desired.
Building flat pack furniture is something I approach like I'm building anything else. Before the box gets opened, I clear a working area that is the length of the box squared, fetch my tools so everything is to hand, then I open the box. I take out the instruction leaflet and the package containing the fixings, and I check the contents against the manual, to make sure I'm not missing any fastners, washers, or dowels. Then, I flamboyantly yeet the leaflet, because I just know how every fixing known to man works, and because I know how they work, I know what holes they go into without needing to be told, because its obvious from looking at the wood and any metal pieces how it goes together, once you know how the fasteners work. I get the main bulk of the material out of the packaging, lay out the fastners I'll need for each panel or piece as I take them out, and I'll just set about putting the thing together. I basically never use the provided hex key. Like Bob, I have a tool kit with hex heads in it, but I tend to use a ratcheting screwdriver with a hex head in it, and because every job starts with going and grabbing my toolkit, I never have to go looking for my tools. It's faster than using the fiddly hex keys, to use the ratcheting screwdriver, but less likely to cause damage by stripping material as a result of overtorquing the fastners, in the light weight, garbage tier materials things are usually made from. This is a risk whenever you use a drill motor or cordless impact to drive fasteners into wood with the consistence of taffy. Once the thing is assembled the way it is supposed to be, I give the object a cursory shove to see if I think it's stable enough, check any moving parts are operating correctly, compare the object I made to all available pictures of it to ensure it went together right. At that point, if I think its tough enough as is, job done. If I think, on reflection "This thing is a piece of shit made of balsa wood and wet toilet paper, and I don't trust it", I then modify the absolute piss out of it, adding fasteners, bracing brackets or additional elements as necessary until it seems to be tough enough to throw into the back of a moving van without the whole thing collapsing like a 1970s housing structure under demolition orders, the moment the driver puts their foot on the go pedal.
I'm the same way as mark and bob lol I have ADHD too sux as we get older boys I'm 39 so yea I know the feeling bout a lot of things and can relate with everything ever said. Hugs from Chicago Illinois I wish I wasn't here but hey nothing I can do. Lol hugs u 3 love u 3 and ttyl in the next episode.
I don't use a plate, just a paper towel, so apply jelly, wipe knife on other slice of bread first, then tear off corner of paper towel and clean it more thoroughly, then peanut butter. No way I'm using more utensils than absolutely necessary lol.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one having constant internet issues this past few weeks. Like I don't even live where Bob is but damn what a terrible coincidence
I follow the same building philosophy with assembly-required furniture as I do with mech model kits: check to see if all the pieces are present and then mise en place only the pieces for one page/section so I build it up macro part by part.
I actually keep all boxes for my monitors and pc. The monitors go into the box exactly how they came from the store. Styrofoam and everything. Stacking cuboid shapes in your car is so much easier. The pc goes into the box the case came in, it also has foam. Graphics card pointing down towards the earth. My GPU is pretty solidly mounted in there, also it's not that heavy anyway
To better grasp Twin Peaks, definitely take in more of Lynch's work. Dune was the only thing imo that doesn't directly contribute to his universe, but it does give good insight into how Lynch was inspired and influenced
I do that same thing as Wade and get a screen protector and case for my new phone. It costs so much I want to keep it safe a crack free the whole time I own it
It would be hilarious, next episode of Distractible: “this episode is brought to you by Chevrolet. Checkout our lineup from the affordable Blazer EV, the durable Silverado EV, to the prestigious Lyriq. If you own an iPhone well guess what, we have the Honda Prologue and the Acura ZDX because they’re literally just the same cars but supports CarPlay”
Bob is my favourite of the distractable trio by far but the attempt at growing a beard looks so so awful it feels like a jumpscare every time I'm unfortunate enough to have TH-cam autoplay a super recent episode I say this as encouragement to go back to your normal, nothing beyond that. Though I also say this as someone who trained in a barber for 3-4 years. You learn what looks good in that time. Funnily enough we had a lot of overweight customers come in trying to grow facial hair with varying degrees of success under the false assumption that it would make them look "slimmer". My boss would shave them clean every time unless they were trying to grow it for other reasons (actually preferred it, we're trying out a new look, etc) because the only thing that will make you look slimmer is, you know, being slimmer 😂 Can't believe that nostalgia just came back. Craig, if you're out there, I still miss you ❤❤
Bobs beard is making him look more and more dad-like
his maany home mishaps add to it
the fridge breaking
flooded basment
internet is out
I believe this is the plan.
That's not his dad-bod, it's his father-figure.
It looks great on him too
He is getting that divorced dad beard
Think I cracked a rip laughing at Marks ADHD going ape mode making coffee
Just finished watching the video amd I get it now...
mark's coffee routine is a menace and I love it
Marks ADHD is on coffee when he is trying to make coffee XD
ADHD is the cofffee spice! add finger cream
i laughed way too damn hard at "this is the coffee, this is the steeple, open it up and there are the teaple"
The "I'll do that later" is such a horrible habit.
I once had a mouse trap kill a mouse, and it was in a slightly inconvenient place behind our boiler and forgot about it. When i got back to it, it had already started decomposing💀
Holy cow, the smell must’ve been awful
@rydermcclanahan6324 as someone whose cleaned up mouse corpses multiple times in the house, I promise you it's worse than you think 💀
@@tazkannon7403Yeah. I had a cat that I kinda had to train as a mouser. Construction near my house, meeses looking for a new home, I'm sure you see where that's going.

i think asmongold does that too
Oh man I think I burst a blood vessel laughing at this one. Primarily at Mark's "And the filter gets replaced once every time I remember." and it was all downhill from there.
Jesus H Christ I think I need to lie down.
Oh man. Mark with his coffee routine feels so real. I thought he was looking at my own desk with my mugs
Circuit breakers❌
Doodoomahickeys in a boxbox ✅
Sometimes I worry about Wade and his brain lol
This is by far the most important podcast for me right now. I'm about to redo my entire office to make room for a side gig, and I have ADHD. This is what I keed right now lol.
Bob's alarms going off and immediately being forgotten😆 makes me feel so seen.
I work the grave yard shift at a gas station so this episode is a god send so happy I randomly found this podcast on TH-cam
I am right there with you. Saved me from boredom
They upload more frequently and have more content on Spotify!
Can't believe i'm so early to a Distractible podcast.
the guys would be so proud
TH-cam UPLOAD IS EARLIER THAN SPOTIFY?
Apple Podcasts too
I guess the deal with Spotify was only so long
Hmmm...
The thicken plots.
It’s been like that for a while
Ah, Splendid indeed! Back with the trio, and onto the distraction. Delightful to see thy again!
As an IT professional installer, the best way to setup a desk, in my professional opinion, is to always set the monitor and peripherals, route their cables to where you want the PC to be, tie the cables, set the PC, and then connect everything, bundling the excess cable ends on the PC side of the connection.
I have never seen Wade so worried for his friends like that 😂😂😂😂
I'm begining to think Bob has been cursed given how many home issues he has XD
Wade passed the curse on to bob
i genuinely laughed myself to tears at work hearing about Mark's adhd. the coffee story had me squeaking in my little corner trying to contain myself. By the time Mark wasn't ready to start the round I was wiping tears while having to force myself to breathe
Thanks!
"What can he say!?"
I love Wade
I hate how easily I was able to imagine the smell of frog in a coffee can.
Omfg I can’t believe This is the way I found out that David Lynch died. RIP to a master of film. Holy crap.
Whoa, wait....I actually knew something before someone else?!
I think my rock is no longer viable to live under🪨😂
+1 to Bob. I do watch Whose Line highlights periodically, they are absolute treasures and I don't think I'll ever get tired of them.
I did *not* see that ending coming but I'm delighted that it happened
It was great.
25:22 I'm ngl that actually got me for a split second
I have never thought this before today, but bravo to Bob for giving me the image of quote “like a sniper pissing…”. Now I have an image of a sniper destroying urinal cakes WITH ACCURACY. Or distorting pine cones in the forest on a camping trip. Or taking out falling snow flakes ❄️ as they drift drown from the clouds.
“Pissing like a sniper”! Thank you Bob!! lol
The Thumbnail is Absolutely Perfect.
Mark's horrifying hilarious coffee process is priceless 😂😂
mark and the multiple mugs on the desk is far too relatable !
I'm the type of person who follows the instructions, but unlike Wade, I meticulously put something together to make sure it's done right. It takes extra time, but I'm able to step back and be satisfied that the thing I made will last and be stable.
oh no yeah, i can barely imagine why anyone would just brute force together some kind of furniture. could just be the fact that i'm neurotypical.
Lmao went shopping with my mum and we grabbed butter chicken sauce cuz we thought we were out and when we got home I looked in the fridge after she stocked it to see our brand new one RIGHT NEXT TO A PERFECTLY GOOD SEALED ONE OF THE EXACT SAME BRAND.

Perfect timing, now i can relax before bed

Twin peaks is so good I can’t wait to hear marks opinion on it
The coffee routine too real 💀
I’m so thankful it’s on TH-cam now. I got TH-cam premium and I have no reason to stay with Spotify!
31:36 is an absolutely insane story and I love it.
Mark.. I do the same thing with my coffee, you're not alone, lmao
i’m a starbucks barista and when there’s left over grounds we also rinse it in the sink. that’s for the coffee itself though, the espresso machine it’s collects in a pile before it’s full and we dump them. we’ve always called them the forbidden brownie because they look like brownies 😂
Mark sounds like the person that opens ALL the lego bags at once instead of opening it one bag at a time like the instructions say
i feel the cup thing, most of the cups in the house end up in my room stacked on top of each other for way to long.....Au/ADHD also takes me several interactions to remember someones name, something i do with a new device of any kind after logging in is eraseing all unnecessary applications and bloat ware as well as orginiseing all of its apps and creating folders or orginisers for things before i get them. then i get a seriously drop resistance water proof case that it lives the rest of its life in. proceed to peraiodacly lose the thing several times.
I literally just watched the episode Wade is Sopping where Wade talks about Soto for like 15 minutes lmfao
when mark heard storage i was thinking of raft when bob and wade mess up his storage organization lol
I can't believe we finally got bathtub lore!!
As somebody who works in phone repair, those screen protectors are definitely a learned skill.
The correct way to make tea.
Boil water.
Put tea bag in cup.
Pour boiling water over teabag.
Take two spoons.
Lift up the teabag with one spoon and use the other to squeeze all the tea out of the teabag.
Throw away the teabag.
Stir.
Add sweetener if desired.

I can't believe Mark's ploy of sabotaging Wade's winner speech so he himself wins instead was a genius strat that made me laugh so hard
OMG I had to watch Mulholland Dr. in my first year of film school in 2019. I still think about it once a month. Its so trippy 18:50
47:16 oooh so Mark's life I just basically one big episode of Markiplier makes.. 😂
the thumbnail is so cute guys do we agree? 😼
Pbj. One knife. Start with jelly, rinse off knife, apply peanut butter. Simple.
I don't use a plate, just a paper towel, so apply jelly, wipe knife on other slice of bread first, then tear off corner of paper towel and clean it more thoroughly, then peanut butter. No way I'm using more utensils than absolutely necessary lol.
That's one of the best plot twist at the end holy sh*t!
21:12 Well to start I'm a welder fabricator so I'd start by building my own desk... Which I don't think accurately answers your question Bob lol.
Quite the cute thumbnail wade
IT'S 2 IN THE MORNING...
AND I AM WATCHING IT ALL NOW!
An ad started just as Bob said, "my brain is just like-" talking to customer service, and I just thought it was a long bit
Glad to hear I'm not the only one having constant internet issues this past few weeks. Like I don't even live where Bob is but damn what a terrible coincidence
Uggh you three are making me feel so old 😂. I got to see Who's line is it anyway in person like a year or two ago, and that was so fun.
It's been so long since I've watched these 3 I forgot Bob was the og squint sketch
I follow the same building philosophy with assembly-required furniture as I do with mech model kits: check to see if all the pieces are present and then mise en place only the pieces for one page/section so I build it up macro part by part.
"I've heard this small talk before! I said I've heard this small talk before!"
Ah yes just as I was about to fall asleep😌
Loved this episode.
I have had a legendary Grilled Threese before, and it was... mostly a less ergonomic grilled cheese
I actually keep all boxes for my monitors and pc. The monitors go into the box exactly how they came from the store. Styrofoam and everything. Stacking cuboid shapes in your car is so much easier.

How my heart dropped when Wade suggested that Mark shave his hair 🤯🥴
To better grasp Twin Peaks, definitely take in more of Lynch's work. Dune was the only thing imo that doesn't directly contribute to his universe, but it does give good insight into how Lynch was inspired and influenced
Bob looks more like a Dad every day!
LOL funny Distractible Podcast I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅
i hate drip coffee filters... and coffee, love you wade
Best thumbnail
"your uncles newphew" sounds like either your second cousin or your sibling
I do that same thing as Wade and get a screen protector and case for my new phone. It costs so much I want to keep it safe a crack free the whole time I own it
27:07 I shot Gatorade out of my nose at box box 😂
Oh hey Bob's cable management strategy is the same as mine!
I am so glad i dont have to use spotify to watch this anymore lol
COFFEE! Mark is just like me, inject it into our veins, lmao
Talking about hot water when making tea or coffee. Genius.
god, mark and I have the same process for cleaning cups off our desks lol, exact same process
Bob is somehow morphing to look exactly like my own dad
It would be hilarious, next episode of Distractible: “this episode is brought to you by Chevrolet. Checkout our lineup from the affordable Blazer EV, the durable Silverado EV, to the prestigious Lyriq. If you own an iPhone well guess what, we have the Honda Prologue and the Acura ZDX because they’re literally just the same cars but supports CarPlay”
30:40 I remember the steeple thing from childhood
Mulholland Drive is basically Perfect Blue set in Hollywood, watch em both, good reference 👍 Also watch twin peaks s1 and 2 then the movie then S3.
Bob thinks he's stupid, I BURNED BROCCOILI IN THE MICROWAVE TODAY! THE SMELL STAYED FOR HOURS!
This is the most yep you got ADHD mark episode xD
Wade. Your not alone. My husband hates the smell of coffee
As a sys admin that works with servers, marks story about installing a server makes my heart hurt
Marks hair is very Lord Farquad like
I have been here since Hair😂❤
Bobs beard is looking good.
Bob is my favourite of the distractable trio by far but the attempt at growing a beard looks so so awful it feels like a jumpscare every time I'm unfortunate enough to have TH-cam autoplay a super recent episode
I say this as encouragement to go back to your normal, nothing beyond that. Though I also say this as someone who trained in a barber for 3-4 years. You learn what looks good in that time.
Funnily enough we had a lot of overweight customers come in trying to grow facial hair with varying degrees of success under the false assumption that it would make them look "slimmer". My boss would shave them clean every time unless they were trying to grow it for other reasons (actually preferred it, we're trying out a new look, etc) because the only thing that will make you look slimmer is, you know, being slimmer 😂 Can't believe that nostalgia just came back.

Someone needs to send mark a d2 dice made from d2 steel
