I can clearly see Mark and his brother being an antagonist in one of horror films like, they lure children and they all look innocent, saying "Come play with us" but then it was all a trap.
I have one, too! A big red dragon from which to launch a pair of dancers. I am positive that Skydancers had a cartoon, too! The villain was a floating fat guy named...Skyclone? As in sky-cyclone I suppose, because I don't recall ever seeing more than one of the spiral-bellied balloon-man.
I had Skydancers. Fortunately, the living room in my childhood home had a high arch ceiling, but, man, was I close to decapitating myself when I’d use them in my bedroom. 🤣
this was entirely my own fault out of my own inability to comprehend was I was reading; but I distinctly recall having read a book about bats during like, quiet reading time when I was about 8 years old. There was a section about echolocation, to which the book demonstrated it by asking the reader to "put your fingers on your throat and hum". I then proceeded to shove my fingers *in* to my throat and ofc made myself gag and throw up in the middle of the classroom lol
I remember there being a story about a kid who was born without eyes and, for the most part, was able to move around via echo-location. So it's possible.
Mark: why would a kid want to experience passing out? Also Mark: I wanna test the limits, see how much my body can take I think you got the logic right
marks youth just keeps on explaining things we question now ever notice that? like every single story of his past is another piece of the mark puzzle lore
I was maybe in 1st grade and a remember learning that cats always land on their feet and so I decided to test this. I grabbed my cat which was maybe half my size at that point climb to the stair railing and just drop it to the stairs. I figured “it’s not that high so the cat will be fine and I can see if it will land on its feet.” What I didn’t consider is that the cat has claws. So when I dropped it, it tried to grab me to save itself from falling and carved my little kid arms up. At that size I might as well have been mauled by a Tiger. The cat was fine, I was not.
I once tripped while taking my laundry basket downstairs, proceeded to fall head over heels (or ass over tea kettle as my mom says) and landed at the bottom of the stairs INSIDE my laundry basket! My mom comes running 'cause of the loud banging, sees me just chillin' in my basket of dirty clothes and statrs yelling at me for laundry basket bobsledding down the stairs. Thinking back it did look pretty sus tbh.
Once as a kid I was choking on a hotdog. My mom noticed and came running, but tripped and landed face first in a basket of dirty laundry. I laughed so hard it dislodged the hotdog
3:03 Mark's character movement combined with the clapping sounds and Mark's exhausted tone is one of the best thing you can experience in Distractible, nearly broke me apart from laughter. In fact, listen to the whole scene with your eyes closed... ...and let your imagination f l o w.
I like how Mark is the only self-aware and honest person on TH-cam. Everyone else is like, “Regrets? What are regrets? I was perfectly well adjusted from birth!”
Got a yard dart story about my mother and her siblings playing with them when they were kids. They wouldn't play where you threw them in an arch... no... They played yard dart... chicken. They would get in a tight circle, take turns taking the yard dart throwing it as hard as they could... straight up and the last one to move before being hit, won. Well, one particular time they were playing, my mother was the last to move, she didn't move in time and had the yard dart pierce her in the left eye and had to have it surgically removed.
I love how this turned into “banned toys” 😂 My grandad had lead toys as a child. He was born in 1936. He had like, lead soldiers and trains and stuff. Also, I had Beados, but like, before they were called that. I remember when Kmart and target and everywhere that sold them were like “bring in all your kits, we’ll give you your money back” because they were being recalled (I later found out it was because they leaked GHB when swallowed). I remember I had got a kit for my birthday or something, and I don’t even think we returned it, because I knew not to put plastic toys in my mouth. I thought it was later, but apparently it was in 2007, and they were called Bindeez.
This one was probably my favorite podcast because it brought back so much memories of stupid things I did at toys that had as a child that I didn't even know that was dangerous until now
I love Mark's toy gun story. As someone who suffered from an incredibly shitty stepdad growing up, I admire the cold, calculated decision that getting in deep shit is worth pissing them off.
Marks story of shooting the lady in the face with the dart gun unlocked a memory in my brain, I was around the same age (9-12) and my brother was three years older, I had one of those Halloween axe prop things made of plastic, I was on one end of the room and my brother was on the other end, he started taunting me saying “you won’t throw it” and long story short I cracked him right in the head with it, it started bleeding and he started crying (obviously), surprisingly I got in literally no trouble for it.
15:30 Holy shit, someone else had that happen?! Not the lawn darts, the "the only 'friends' you have as kids are kind of total assholes but you're stuck with them" thing. Also when I was like three I swallowed a Magnetix marble.
Anytime mark mentions Tom all i can think of is his webcomic. And really when you think about it both brothers have a claim to fame just in different fields.
Bob's store story with the non-specific asian stuff and blades that anyone can buy sounds like a store in my area called "Exotic Imports". It overwhelmingly smells of incense and there are sooooooo many people who "studied the blade" that passed through its doors
All the stories Bob has accidentally told twice on this show, and yet somehow the dirt bike track story he forgot to tell in this one has never come up.
These stories make me wish I didn't grow out of my "stupid kid" phase so fast. I miss riding vines directly at trees as a game of chicken. Then again, I was the youngest, so I was usually the test subject.
I used to have Skydancers. There’s a story my mom told me of my aunt, uncle and I playing with it, them telling me ‘instead of just keeping it straight up and down, tilt it forward a bit’ I let it fly, my mom comes in the room and she hit the deck. She said she gave all three of us a lecture. I believe her, but I don’t remember it. * my aunt and uncle were laughing their asses off from what my mom said
I grew up with my Mom and Dad on my Great-Grandparent's farm. It used to house animals but by the time I was born it only had storage barns and small remnants of it's former glory. There was broken glass, rusty junk, splintering boards, old tools, it looked like a setting from a post apocalyptic movie. I'm still surprised I have very few scars from living there up until 2 years ago. I used to play in all sorts of crap, like climbing on a pile of wooden boards, throwing a circular sawblade like a frisbee, whipping rusty chains around, I even found an old and rusted machete in one of the sheds.
I remember me and a friend made a game called "pins and needles" basically we'd jump off... Pretty high places. Our feet would tingle when you came down at a certain angle, and could be so intense that we'd be on the ground laughing till it stopped. It was literally all about *crushing our nerves* and that shit was S tier. *then there was a werewolf cult but that's not important*
This episode reminded me of the time me and my cousin used a steak knife to dig up dirt rocks (basically a tight clump of dirt that you can throw). While digging he slashed his finger open and had to have several stitches as well as a stint. This story would actually fit in the episode since i was like 10 at the time. I name this story the Dirt Rock Challenge.
I honestly can listen to these on repeat. You 3 are such a funny group. I work 10 hour days and I listen to these on repeat and almost laugh numerous times
Omfg anyone remember the Cabbage Patch snacktime doll? The O.G. ones that didn't stop when there was resistance and would distroy a kids hand is seconds. A family friend's kid tried getting me to stick my finger and hair in this death doll. I should add that that she was a preteen and knew very well how dangerous it was... Anyways, I'm lucky my mom and her mom told me to be careful with the toy and stubborn was my whole personality as a kid 😂
@@spencergallucci5309 Honestly, I would have expected Link to do something like that. I mean...he kept trying to stick his hand in a whirring blender before....
as a gen z kid i had the rare experience of being able to play with one of these. my mom used to collect cabbage patch dolls for some reason and decided to let a roughly 5-7 yo play with one of those eating ones. had multiple times my fingers almost got pinched in there, dont know why anyone thought making those was a good idea
I don't know how many of these there are, but this is one of the few examples where the points were literally tallied incorrectly and the winner was wrong. When Mark listed off the final points, he out loud said Wade had 3 points, then proceeded to give Bob Wade's Soulja Boy point. It was pointed out that that was wrong, and went back to Wade, and Bob was given 3 points for his contributions, but then then the final tally was Wade 2 Bob 4, meaning he not only forgot about one of Wades points, but then ALSO proceeded to reassign the Soulja Boy point to Bob. Marks final tally of 4-2 not only missed a point, but is also gave the winning point to the wrong person, meaning Wade was the winner, but lost to bad memory
Mark and his brother's adventures and jump off things contests is just such a universal bro thing, my brother and I did the same thing all the time - he also broke his arm (several times) yet that never deterred him lmao
This proves to me that I was a, generally, smart child. I avoided pain, because I was aware what causes it. I can only really think of three occasions where I got hurt: bashed in the face by a tetherball, slipped on a woodchip while running from my crush, flipping a quad and getting part of my shin bone scooped out (drove into a ditch at the beginning of a race with an adult). Thinking of that last one makes my scar itch. Wait. There's a fourth, *stupidest* one. I almost ripped my stomach open on my school bleachers. But that was when I was a teenager, so still a smart _kid._ I've only gotten stupider as I've gotten older.
Me too. I used to just be a noisy and jumpy kid when I was very young, but I think after I was 2 years old. I just became self aware about pain and always avoided it. Still to this day if something ever comes speeding at high speeds like a football when it isnt even directed at me, I just close my eyes and look away and like protect myself. Only got hurt when a ball actually came to my face. I wear glasses so maybe I was terrified if I got hit while wearing them. Sorry for the long rant, just thought I needed to open up a little.
DUDE. I'm 36 years old, and I remember finding my parent's set of lawn darts in my dad's workshop when I was about 6. I couldn't reach them on a top shelf, but they were colorful and clearly some kind of toy. And I would peer up at them every now every couple months until I was 8, before I finally asked about them, when one day they were just gone. My mom couldn't remember what I was talking about, then suddenly, she did. "OH! Those are lawn darts!" I asked where they went. "We probably sold them. They're illegal." I asked what she meant. "Well, they're very dangerous. Like throwing knives. Some people got hit in the foot, and hurt very badly. So they're against the law to own."
I love that when they talk about kids being dumb, the bois also admit they were just as dumb when they were kids. Other people who like making fun of kids seem to have forgotten they were dumbs kids too at one point in their life.
I don't actually remember having done anything that physically put others or myself in danger, except one time solely relating to me as a child. The child I used to be was in a school (with plenty of bad memories) that, even now, is situated partially on a really steep hillside where trees grew, and it was basically an unspoken rule that children would play there, even as the teachers warned them, for good reason, not to do so. One time, I was wandering around picking at random things near the top of the hill where the school buildings were situated, and one root that was partially sticking out of the soil caught my eye. I decided then and there, for some really stupid reason, that I should test my strength and pull that root as hard as I could, not realizing one end might still be a bit loose. The root gives in, and I literally swing 180 vertical degrees from the typical weed-pulling position to having my back slammed into the soil behind the root I instinctively clung to. I got away with only a hurt back, but I shudder to think what would've happened if reflex hadn't kicked in I had let go to be sent tumbling down about 60 metres of 45-or-more declining hillside with plenty of trees in the way. I prefer pulling deep-growing dandelions and black salsify in the garden. Same exercise, even some food. MUCH LESS DANGER.
When I was around 8-9 years old there was a kid in the cul-de-sac who was a few years older than me and he always told me crazy ideas that I thought would work. One day he ran up to me all excited and said "Hey, you know how when you exercise you lose weight?" I said ya and he says "well I am going to exercise till I weigh zero pounds then I will be able to fly!" My mind was blown by this and I actually thought this was possible so I spent the next week exercising like crazy.
Do you remember playing Red Rover Red Rover where you at have two teams of kids lined up with their arms locked together like chains facing each other and you would yell Red Rover Red Rover send Jimmy right over and he would just run full Sprint at the other line and try to break through their arms while getting clothes-lined onto his back
As a kid, I found a video of a person smashing an old hive with a hammer. In the video, the hive was dead and abandoned. I didn't understand that. There was a bee hive at the back of my grandparent's house, and I decided to smash it. Long story short, I am no longer to even touch a hammer without supervision.
My parents gave my youngest sister this toy called bunchems. They were colourful little balls that stuck together and you could build things out of them. One thing though was that you should not get them in your hair because they were like brambles and it was hard to pull them out, and sister was warned about this. So my sister had the brilliant idea of her and her equally stupid friend throwing these things at each other. Both girls go crying to our mom because their hair is a huge birds nest of bunchems and they couldn’t get them out, and they were scared that they would have to be cut out. The friend was especially upset because she had long, pretty hair and this was going to ruin it. But mom tried cooking oil first and the bunchems came out. They got thrown in the garbage after that.
Yo I had a similar situation with my younger sister, she I believe had them on her bed and completely forgot about them, when she layed down they ALL got stuck in her hair and I don't mean like 4 or 5 there was like 30 INDIVIDUAL ONES in her hair. We had to slowly and carefully pull them out of her hair (we didn't know about this cooking oil strategy)
The reason I love these 3 together is because Mark, the superstar is just a dude to them. Bob and Wade do not give an F about his fame or anything else. they treat him like a normal person. Plus, Bob and Wade are f ing hilarious. Thank you all.
The roots of lawn darts don't come from the popular bar game they're named after, instead their history can be found in an ancient Greet and Roman war weapon called a plumbata. Thought to have originated around 500 BCE, plumbata were basically the same thing as lawn darts: weighted spikes thrown from a distance with the intention of landing somewhere soft. They were even thrown in the same way. Needless to say, the ancient Romans weren't aiming for a plastic circle. -Mashable
I had some weird greaser kid in my class after we read The Outsiders and he brought a switchblade comb with him to school. Whipped it out and scared the teacher
Markiplier talking about kids passing out on purpose for whatever reason back in the day makes me think of all the weird passing out challenges and trends that infest Tik Tok now which kids have died from
I got my own story to add I was in middle school, not sure exact grade, and on Saturdays my family cleans our house, I was being a little shit and refusing to help so as punishment I wasn't aloud to go to the pool party going on that day. So I'm sulking in my room pouting about how its not fair and all that when I hop onto the window sill and look out at the school, I had to open the window to fit on it so my weight was solely supported by the screen, thankfully I was a tiny child so that wasn't an issue, but eventually I got bored of sulking and started to look for something to play with. That's when I found this small metal latched on the screen and being the dumb kid I am while leaning against the window screen pull the lever, next thing I know I'm on the ground in immense pain, my room is on the second story, and for what feels like forever I'm just laying their crying in pain barley able to breath hoping to dear god that my mother finds me. Eventually she does and I get rushed to the ER, and I was somehow perfectly fine, they kept me their for a night just to be safe but everything was A Ok.
that unlocked a memory of me falling off a moving ATV because i wanted to sit on the side and not the middle, i hit my head on the road but i don't remember being in pain
I didn't initially understand the hype about Distractible on TH-cam, since it's already on a ton of other platforms. However, it is admittedly pretty cool to be able to comment on podcast episodes directly. Edit: It's also nice that there aren't any ads on the YT versions of episodes. Although some of Distractible's sponsored segments are kinda fun, so people are kinda missing out on those.
Personally, I don't like just listening to people talk. The little bobbing characters are just enough action to trick my brain into not getting utterly bored and tuning out completely.
@@Jadebones OMG, I never knew! And all this time, I thought I had to stand perfectly still to listen to them... Or, maybe I had an awful father who gave constant rants, and to survive I learned to tune out the words but still get enough of the tone that I could respond robotically and avoid getting beat up for not listening, and now if someone's taking to me non-stop I need a non-threatening visual clue to keep my brain from running off to its happy place or hyper-focusing on what I'm doing. .....NAH, it's just that I had NO IDEA. 🤕 🤤
My mom and older sister are sitting in the family room. All of the sudden in the other room they hear THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD *WHAM* They look at each other, they look at the other room. Mom: Mystic? Me: Yeah? Mom: Did you just go down the stairs in a laundry basket? Me: ...........Yeah?........
We got locked in my brothers' room, including the babysitter. We couldn't get out at all, so we made a plan for my older brother to leave the room from their window and find the maintenance guy to give him the spare key to the room. The only problem: we lived in a second floor apartment. So, naturally, we had my older brother jump down and try to land decently. He started pissing out, but he was the most durable of us, so me being the little savage I was, pushed him the rest of the way out the window since he was already halfway out. He still hasn't forgiven me to this day even though he wasn't even injured and everything was fine. 🤷 I was the only girl and I didn't wanna be stuck in a room with my asshole brothers until mom and dad came back and unlocked the door from the outside.
my dad once told me, as a lesson in stranger danger self-defense, "if you strike someone in the throat with an open hand you can choke or even kill them" and my stupid ass went "like this?" and *smacked him in the throat*
my mom had clackers as a kid, she gave them to me and my sister as a hand-me-down, we tried to play with them and quickly realized how dangerous they were and never played with them again. these were big heavy things that could probably break your nose if one swung too close
I've a few stories: I and my friends liked to pretend we were really suave spies, so in the playground (we were like between 10/12 years old), we'd walk up the slides, try to walk around the outside of the platforms, and go down the slides. If you could do it without falling off, you were an amazing spy lol. Oh, and we'd sometimes do that with our socks on, very very safe. I and few friends were hanging around the neighbour park, which was above one of my friend's flat's ground floor area. We saw this little what we called a treehouse, which really was a clearing with 1 or 2 park benches above where we stood lol. The thing was, we weren't allowed to go up there, but damn well we'd try to. We managed to get up there, and hung out there until we were caught by a security guard lol. He told us not to go up there again. I think we'd snuck up there few more times before stopping. When I was a kid, I'd visit my cousins in Michigan a lot of times during the winters, mainly because it snows there, and we'd love having snowball fights lol. They had a mini hill outside the backyard, so as we were dumb kids, we'd roll down the mini hill sideways, and even race to see who would make it down the quickest. And when it snowed and the hill was covered in snow, we'd bring out boards, little sleds, and slide down to the bottom. It was fun. Another time, I was 11, we went to visit my cousins in Michigan, and went to my aunt's friend's daughter's high school grad party. I just remember thinking 'Wow, she's so pretty'. And apparently I was trying to impress her according to my cousin, and I was just being a hyperactive kid around her lol. Looking back, she might have been my gay awakening person lol.
I never really did anything stupid as a kid. Being in boy scouts though we made alot of things that would definitely hurt us. Took pvc pipes and turned them into blowdart guns with handmade dart. Took wooden blocks and carved them with rubber bands and clothes pins into makeshift crossbows that could fire pencils and pens. They could pierce thick cardboard easily.
I'm pretty sure easy bake ovens are becoming unusable as the incandescent light bulb becomes obsolete. The whole purpose of the toy is that it uses the heat from the light bulbs to bake the "food" but as we transition from the old incandescent bulbs and into the newer CFL and LED lights, which are more electrically efficient because they don't produce as much heat, the easy bake ovens lose their only real source of heat. Also, I am a Cars nut and in 2007 I wanted a model of Sarge. I had all the rest of the main cast of characters, but Sarge had eluded me. I never knew why I couldn't have one, beyond my mom's reasoning of something about chemicals, until just this year. There was a massive recall on toys in 2007, it affected Mattel, Lego, and possibly even Hasbro, I want someone to fact check that. Out of all of the Cars models that I had wanted and that had been released, Sarge had dangerous quantities of Lead in him.
This episode is so incredibly relatable. I had lawn darts as a kid growing up, I had tree houses across from me growing up so I know vines snapping very well. But man this is comedy gold. As my wife says “it’s a wonder you are alive” 🤣
I've done the whirlpool thing twice in my life. The first time was with some family at a birthday party, and we broke something in the process because someone ran into it. The second time was in the hotel swimming pool during a choir trip to Toronto. There were twenty of us total, all young adults in college, and we managed to make this large pool into a whirlpool that lasted for quite some time. I don't remember having issues of being dragged to the middle but its possible that I was old enough to avoid such a thing the two times I've done it.
Just found this episode and it reminded me of my own story! So, when I was I a kid, we lived in this close nit neighborhood. And we are old of enough to be left on our own. So, like 9 and above. I was about 10 or 11 at the time. It was Summer and we all outside riding our bikes. I forget who came up with it, but we decided to do some really stupid shit! It was when all of us were like in the big Motocross, Bike tricks and Skateboarding and Roller-skating. So, we decided in the middle of the road to make our own ramp! So, one person had this Paneling Board or whatever the board is called that it is used in construction. Their Dad finished a Home Improvement Project and had some left over so that was the "Ramp" part. Then what we did to get it up so we jump up in the air. We had five gallon buckets filled with buckets, cinderblocks and like these small sand bags? I think? Well we made this ramp and tested a bit. And we're having a blast! Well, I'm one of the "Biggest" (heaviest) kid there. I'm not really fast but I was really strong biker. So, we had this idea. *I* would be the one to dragged the person behind me to get them up to speed for the ramp so they can do this big trick in the air. And what we used was this old jump-rope. So, I tied around my waist, then I gave the other end to the kid that grabbed it tied in their. So, here I am biking as fast and strong as I can I go to the side while the person I'm dragging when on the ramp letting go of the jump-rope. One, kid wanted to try to do a backflip. Yes, you read that right a backflip! Well, we do this thing, their in the air, do the backflip and landed on the back tire and flopped backwards landing on their back. They were alright, had some bruised and the wind was knocked out of them. But yeah, that's my story!
17:56 growing up we called it dead or alive! it had an extra part to it where you’d do the regular yell out the number of points it’s worth, but then call out if it’s dead (catch it after it hits the ground), alive (catch it before it hits the ground), or both. so you’d shout something like “400 points alive!” and just watch as kids scramble over each other to catch the ball sjsjs

I am positive that Skydancers had a cartoon, too! The villain was a floating fat guy named...Skyclone? As in sky-cyclone I suppose, because I don't recall ever seeing more than one of the spiral-bellied balloon-man.
I had Skydancers. Fortunately, the living room in my childhood home had a high arch ceiling, but, man, was I close to decapitating myself when I’d use them in my bedroom. 🤣
this was entirely my own fault out of my own inability to comprehend was I was reading; but I distinctly recall having read a book about bats during like, quiet reading time when I was about 8 years old. There was a section about echolocation, to which the book demonstrated it by asking the reader to "put your fingers on your throat and hum". I then proceeded to shove my fingers *in* to my throat and ofc made myself gag and throw up in the middle of the classroom lol
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I remember there being a story about a kid who was born without eyes and, for the most part, was able to move around via echo-location. So it's possible.
that sounds so fucking dumb, but also exactly something I would do

Ohh, I feel so bad for laughing!
Mark: why would a kid want to experience passing out?
Also Mark: I wanna test the limits, see how much my body can take

Stories like this make me realise how responsible I was as a child. I always needed to stop the other kids from doing stupid stuff
The one time you think about your decision as a kid: "I thought about whether the trouble I would get in was worth it... and the answer was yes"
I was maybe in 1st grade and a remember learning that cats always land on their feet and so I decided to test this. I grabbed my cat which was maybe half my size at that point climb to the stair railing and just drop it to the stairs. I figured “it’s not that high so the cat will be fine and I can see if it will land on its feet.” What I didn’t consider is that the cat has claws. So when I dropped it, it tried to grab me to save itself from falling and carved my little kid arms up. At that size I might as well have been mauled by a Tiger. The cat was fine, I was not.
I once tripped while taking my laundry basket downstairs, proceeded to fall head over heels (or ass over tea kettle as my mom says) and landed at the bottom of the stairs INSIDE my laundry basket! My mom comes running 'cause of the loud banging, sees me just chillin' in my basket of dirty clothes and statrs yelling at me for laundry basket bobsledding down the stairs. Thinking back it did look pretty sus tbh.
you literally lived a tom & jerry skit lol
Oh dang!
Once as a kid I was choking on a hotdog. My mom noticed and came running, but tripped and landed face first in a basket of dirty laundry. I laughed so hard it dislodged the hotdog
@Pepper Saltsman Nice, medical slapstick!
@@pokesonav Laughter really IS the best medicine!
3:03 Mark's character movement combined with the clapping sounds and Mark's exhausted tone is one of the best thing you can experience in Distractible, nearly broke me apart from laughter.
In fact, listen to the whole scene with your eyes closed...

Okay I was in the McDonald's drive thru while it was going on and ummm let's just say the workers looked at me very concerned

I like how Mark is the only self-aware and honest person on TH-cam. Everyone else is like, “Regrets? What are regrets? I was perfectly well adjusted from birth!”
You don't watch enough decent youtubers I take it 😕
I notice that Mark has an M shape on his head, and Wade has a W on the beard. There's no B for Bob tough, kinda cool.
His face and hair kinda make a B. Also the glasses
Maybe the curls in his hair??
Wade has five o’clock shadow is in shape of w for wade
The big curl makes his head into a silhouette of a "B"
Reading too into it but ok 😂
I love how Mark opens all of his stuff with a very thought out story.
Marks stories are less "kids being dumb" and more kids being psychopaths
Got a yard dart story about my mother and her siblings playing with them when they were kids. They wouldn't play where you threw them in an arch... no... They played yard dart... chicken. They would get in a tight circle, take turns taking the yard dart throwing it as hard as they could... straight up and the last one to move before being hit, won. Well, one particular time they were playing, my mother was the last to move, she didn't move in time and had the yard dart pierce her in the left eye and had to have it surgically removed.
Yikes! I'm guessing your mother lost her eye?
^ well I don't think the surgeon put it back IN.
Guess she won yard dart chicken..
I hope they never played it again after that, that's a nightmare.
That's like the scene in the Adam sandler movie grownups
I love how this turned into “banned toys” 😂 My grandad had lead toys as a child. He was born in 1936. He had like, lead soldiers and trains and stuff.
Also, I had Beados, but like, before they were called that. I remember when Kmart and target and everywhere that sold them were like “bring in all your kits, we’ll give you your money back” because they were being recalled (I later found out it was because they leaked GHB when swallowed).
I remember I had got a kit for my birthday or something, and I don’t even think we returned it, because I knew not to put plastic toys in my mouth.
I thought it was later, but apparently it was in 2007, and they were called Bindeez.
I'm so sorry, but Bindeez Nutz. I wil now leave.
Man, lead toys are scary.

This one was probably my favorite podcast because it brought back so much memories of stupid things I did at toys that had as a child that I didn't even know that was dangerous until now
I love Mark's toy gun story. As someone who suffered from an incredibly shitty stepdad growing up, I admire the cold, calculated decision that getting in deep shit is worth pissing them off.
I just watched an hour of three cartoons move up and down a few pixels and I loved every second of it
The way Bob says murderer is so good:
"He's a mur-der-er. He's an eight-year-old mur-der-er"
Marks story of shooting the lady in the face with the dart gun unlocked a memory in my brain, I was around the same age (9-12) and my brother was three years older, I had one of those Halloween axe prop things made of plastic, I was on one end of the room and my brother was on the other end, he started taunting me saying “you won’t throw it” and long story short I cracked him right in the head with it, it started bleeding and he started crying (obviously), surprisingly I got in literally no trouble for it.
How big was this room and how strong were you to make someone's head bleed with, granted a probably very hard plastic axe
15:30 Holy shit, someone else had that happen?! Not the lawn darts, the "the only 'friends' you have as kids are kind of total assholes but you're stuck with them" thing.
Also when I was like three I swallowed a Magnetix marble.
I love how their conversations cause me to pause it every 5 minutes to go Google what they're talking about. Interesting stuff!
Anytime mark mentions Tom all i can think of is his webcomic. And really when you think about it both brothers have a claim to fame just in different fields.
He has a webcomic??
Bob's store story with the non-specific asian stuff and blades that anyone can buy sounds like a store in my area called "Exotic Imports". It overwhelmingly smells of incense and there are sooooooo many people who "studied the blade" that passed through its doors
All the stories Bob has accidentally told twice on this show, and yet somehow the dirt bike track story he forgot to tell in this one has never come up.
These stories make me wish I didn't grow out of my "stupid kid" phase so fast. I miss riding vines directly at trees as a game of chicken. Then again, I was the youngest, so I was usually the test subject.
I used to have Skydancers. There’s a story my mom told me of my aunt, uncle and I playing with it, them telling me ‘instead of just keeping it straight up and down, tilt it forward a bit’
I let it fly, my mom comes in the room and she hit the deck. She said she gave all three of us a lecture. I believe her, but I don’t remember it.
* my aunt and uncle were laughing their asses off from what my mom said
"The subreddit is on Reddit, right?"
Yes Wade. Yes it is.
Hmm Yes. The floor is made out of floor.
I grew up with my Mom and Dad on my Great-Grandparent's farm. It used to house animals but by the time I was born it only had storage barns and small remnants of it's former glory. There was broken glass, rusty junk, splintering boards, old tools, it looked like a setting from a post apocalyptic movie. I'm still surprised I have very few scars from living there up until 2 years ago. I used to play in all sorts of crap, like climbing on a pile of wooden boards, throwing a circular sawblade like a frisbee, whipping rusty chains around, I even found an old and rusted machete in one of the sheds.
I remember me and a friend made a game called "pins and needles"
basically we'd jump off... Pretty high places.
Our feet would tingle when you came down at a certain angle, and could be so intense that we'd be on the ground laughing till it stopped. It was literally all about *crushing our nerves* and that shit was S tier.
*then there was a werewolf cult but that's not important*
Any long term consequences of that nerve crushing?

As soon as mark talked about burying the saw I immediately thought,”What if the kid had died.”
This is my absolute favourite episode, its made me laugh the most by far
Same
This episode reminded me of the time me and my cousin used a steak knife to dig up dirt rocks (basically a tight clump of dirt that you can throw). While digging he slashed his finger open and had to have several stitches as well as a stint. This story would actually fit in the episode since i was like 10 at the time. I name this story the Dirt Rock Challenge.
@@maskplayer60 thank you sir u are too kind

Omfg anyone remember the Cabbage Patch snacktime doll? The O.G. ones that didn't stop when there was resistance and would distroy a kids hand is seconds.
A family friend's kid tried getting me to stick my finger and hair in this death doll. I should add that that she was a preteen and knew very well how dangerous it was...
Anyways, I'm lucky my mom and her mom told me to be careful with the toy and stubborn was my whole personality as a kid 😂
GMM had one of those on an episode recently and Rhett kept trying to put his finger in it lol
@@spencergallucci5309 Honestly, I would have expected Link to do something like that. I mean...he kept trying to stick his hand in a whirring blender before....
as a gen z kid i had the rare experience of being able to play with one of these. my mom used to collect cabbage patch dolls for some reason and decided to let a roughly 5-7 yo play with one of those eating ones. had multiple times my fingers almost got pinched in there, dont know why anyone thought making those was a good idea
I don't know how many of these there are, but this is one of the few examples where the points were literally tallied incorrectly and the winner was wrong. When Mark listed off the final points, he out loud said Wade had 3 points, then proceeded to give Bob Wade's Soulja Boy point. It was pointed out that that was wrong, and went back to Wade, and Bob was given 3 points for his contributions, but then then the final tally was Wade 2 Bob 4, meaning he not only forgot about one of Wades points, but then ALSO proceeded to reassign the Soulja Boy point to Bob.
Marks final tally of 4-2 not only missed a point, but is also gave the winning point to the wrong person, meaning Wade was the winner, but lost to bad memory
Mark and his brother's adventures and jump off things contests is just such a universal bro thing, my brother and I did the same thing all the time - he also broke his arm (several times) yet that never deterred him lmao
I remember my older brother and his friends pushing us way too fast on the old school metal merry-go-rounds to the point I could barely hold on , lol
I used to watch a ton of videos about banned toys so hearing A.C. Gilbert brought up was absolutely magical
This proves to me that I was a, generally, smart child. I avoided pain, because I was aware what causes it. I can only really think of three occasions where I got hurt: bashed in the face by a tetherball, slipped on a woodchip while running from my crush, flipping a quad and getting part of my shin bone scooped out (drove into a ditch at the beginning of a race with an adult). Thinking of that last one makes my scar itch.
Wait. There's a fourth, *stupidest* one.
I almost ripped my stomach open on my school bleachers. But that was when I was a teenager, so still a smart _kid._ I've only gotten stupider as I've gotten older.
Me too. I used to just be a noisy and jumpy kid when I was very young, but I think after I was 2 years old. I just became self aware about pain and always avoided it. Still to this day if something ever comes speeding at high speeds like a football when it isnt even directed at me, I just close my eyes and look away and like protect myself. Only got hurt when a ball actually came to my face. I wear glasses so maybe I was terrified if I got hit while wearing them.
Sorry for the long rant, just thought I needed to open up a little.
Loved pain sought it made me stronger and meaner 😉
@@surfer246810 Sounds like you just injured your nerves to me.
Reading this makes my non existent shin scar itch.
I was generally the same way, I just have crappy reflexes… though… *knock on wood* never broken a bone
It feels like some of these toys shouldn't be banned instead should be age-restricted.
DUDE. I'm 36 years old, and I remember finding my parent's set of lawn darts in my dad's workshop when I was about 6. I couldn't reach them on a top shelf, but they were colorful and clearly some kind of toy. And I would peer up at them every now every couple months until I was 8, before I finally asked about them, when one day they were just gone.
My mom couldn't remember what I was talking about, then suddenly, she did. "OH! Those are lawn darts!" I asked where they went. "We probably sold them. They're illegal." I asked what she meant. "Well, they're very dangerous. Like throwing knives. Some people got hit in the foot, and hurt very badly. So they're against the law to own."
I love that when they talk about kids being dumb, the bois also admit they were just as dumb when they were kids.
Other people who like making fun of kids seem to have forgotten they were dumbs kids too at one point in their life.
I don't actually remember having done anything that physically put others or myself in danger, except one time solely relating to me as a child.
The child I used to be was in a school (with plenty of bad memories) that, even now, is situated partially on a really steep hillside where trees grew, and it was basically an unspoken rule that children would play there, even as the teachers warned them, for good reason, not to do so. One time, I was wandering around picking at random things near the top of the hill where the school buildings were situated, and one root that was partially sticking out of the soil caught my eye. I decided then and there, for some really stupid reason, that I should test my strength and pull that root as hard as I could, not realizing one end might still be a bit loose.
The root gives in, and I literally swing 180 vertical degrees from the typical weed-pulling position to having my back slammed into the soil behind the root I instinctively clung to.
I got away with only a hurt back, but I shudder to think what would've happened if reflex hadn't kicked in I had let go to be sent tumbling down about 60 metres of 45-or-more declining hillside with plenty of trees in the way.
I prefer pulling deep-growing dandelions and black salsify in the garden. Same exercise, even some food. MUCH LESS DANGER.
When I was around 8-9 years old there was a kid in the cul-de-sac who was a few years older than me and he always told me crazy ideas that I thought would work. One day he ran up to me all excited and said "Hey, you know how when you exercise you lose weight?" I said ya and he says "well I am going to exercise till I weigh zero pounds then I will be able to fly!" My mind was blown by this and I actually thought this was possible so I spent the next week exercising like crazy.
Marks stories feel like something out of Calvin and Hobbes
I love wade saying “the subreddits on reddit right?”
Do you remember playing Red Rover Red Rover where you at have two teams of kids lined up with their arms locked together like chains facing each other and you would yell Red Rover Red Rover send Jimmy right over and he would just run full Sprint at the other line and try to break through their arms while getting clothes-lined onto his back
Oh yeah, I can vaguely remember playing it once
"No teen, no preteen, 11 and below."
Only 12-year-olds are preteens?
As a kid, I found a video of a person smashing an old hive with a hammer. In the video, the hive was dead and abandoned. I didn't understand that. There was a bee hive at the back of my grandparent's house, and I decided to smash it. Long story short, I am no longer to even touch a hammer without supervision.
My parents gave my youngest sister this toy called bunchems. They were colourful little balls that stuck together and you could build things out of them. One thing though was that you should not get them in your hair because they were like brambles and it was hard to pull them out, and sister was warned about this. So my sister had the brilliant idea of her and her equally stupid friend throwing these things at each other. Both girls go crying to our mom because their hair is a huge birds nest of bunchems and they couldn’t get them out, and they were scared that they would have to be cut out. The friend was especially upset because she had long, pretty hair and this was going to ruin it. But mom tried cooking oil first and the bunchems came out. They got thrown in the garbage after that.
Yo I had a similar situation with my younger sister, she I believe had them on her bed and completely forgot about them, when she layed down they ALL got stuck in her hair and I don't mean like 4 or 5 there was like 30 INDIVIDUAL ONES in her hair. We had to slowly and carefully pull them out of her hair (we didn't know about this cooking oil strategy)
The reason I love these 3 together is because Mark, the superstar is just a dude to them. Bob and Wade do not give an F about his fame or anything else. they treat him like a normal person. Plus, Bob and Wade are f ing hilarious. Thank you all.
The roots of lawn darts don't come from the popular bar game they're named after, instead their history can be found in an ancient Greet and Roman war weapon called a plumbata. Thought to have originated around 500 BCE, plumbata were basically the same thing as lawn darts: weighted spikes thrown from a distance with the intention of landing somewhere soft. They were even thrown in the same way. Needless to say, the ancient Romans weren't aiming for a plastic circle.

With the word "dart", I remember the video on Mar's channel when Bob broke a neighbor window... xd
I had some weird greaser kid in my class after we read The Outsiders and he brought a switchblade comb with him to school. Whipped it out and scared the teacher
When I was a teen, I think, I found my dad’s old knife in a closet, asked him about it, and just gave it to me. And that’s how I got my knife.
Markiplier talking about kids passing out on purpose for whatever reason back in the day makes me think of all the weird passing out challenges and trends that infest Tik Tok now which kids have died from
The amount of just…dumb things I can remember especially when the “I should have died” part came into play…oh Lordy…so many memories
I got my own story to add
I was in middle school, not sure exact grade, and on Saturdays my family cleans our house, I was being a little shit and refusing to help so as punishment I wasn't aloud to go to the pool party going on that day. So I'm sulking in my room pouting about how its not fair and all that when I hop onto the window sill and look out at the school, I had to open the window to fit on it so my weight was solely supported by the screen, thankfully I was a tiny child so that wasn't an issue, but eventually I got bored of sulking and started to look for something to play with. That's when I found this small metal latched on the screen and being the dumb kid I am while leaning against the window screen pull the lever, next thing I know I'm on the ground in immense pain, my room is on the second story, and for what feels like forever I'm just laying their crying in pain barley able to breath hoping to dear god that my mother finds me. Eventually she does and I get rushed to the ER, and I was somehow perfectly fine, they kept me their for a night just to be safe but everything was A Ok.
that unlocked a memory of me falling off a moving ATV because i wanted to sit on the side and not the middle, i hit my head on the road but i don't remember being in pain
I didn't initially understand the hype about Distractible on TH-cam, since it's already on a ton of other platforms. However, it is admittedly pretty cool to be able to comment on podcast episodes directly.
Edit: It's also nice that there aren't any ads on the YT versions of episodes. Although some of Distractible's sponsored segments are kinda fun, so people are kinda missing out on those.
Personally, I don't like just listening to people talk. The little bobbing characters are just enough action to trick my brain into not getting utterly bored and tuning out completely.

Oh, I remember Sky Dancers! I had Primrose; I don't recall anything going wrong with her, though. Lucky me, I guess.
We got locked in my brothers' room, including the babysitter. We couldn't get out at all, so we made a plan for my older brother to leave the room from their window and find the maintenance guy to give him the spare key to the room. The only problem: we lived in a second floor apartment. So, naturally, we had my older brother jump down and try to land decently. He started pissing out, but he was the most durable of us, so me being the little savage I was, pushed him the rest of the way out the window since he was already halfway out. He still hasn't forgiven me to this day even though he wasn't even injured and everything was fine. 🤷 I was the only girl and I didn't wanna be stuck in a room with my asshole brothers until mom and dad came back and unlocked the door from the outside.
As someone who dealt with some unbelievably horrible step parents I respect Mark so much for shooting her with the dart.

The noises of mark hitting his chest and bob saying harder, sounds so dirty
I've a few stories:
I and my friends liked to pretend we were really suave spies, so in the playground (we were like between 10/12 years old), we'd walk up the slides, try to walk around the outside of the platforms, and go down the slides. If you could do it without falling off, you were an amazing spy lol. Oh, and we'd sometimes do that with our socks on, very very safe.
I and few friends were hanging around the neighbour park, which was above one of my friend's flat's ground floor area. We saw this little what we called a treehouse, which really was a clearing with 1 or 2 park benches above where we stood lol. The thing was, we weren't allowed to go up there, but damn well we'd try to. We managed to get up there, and hung out there until we were caught by a security guard lol. He told us not to go up there again. I think we'd snuck up there few more times before stopping.
When I was a kid, I'd visit my cousins in Michigan a lot of times during the winters, mainly because it snows there, and we'd love having snowball fights lol. They had a mini hill outside the backyard, so as we were dumb kids, we'd roll down the mini hill sideways, and even race to see who would make it down the quickest. And when it snowed and the hill was covered in snow, we'd bring out boards, little sleds, and slide down to the bottom. It was fun.
Another time, I was 11, we went to visit my cousins in Michigan, and went to my aunt's friend's daughter's high school grad party. I just remember thinking 'Wow, she's so pretty'. And apparently I was trying to impress her according to my cousin, and I was just being a hyperactive kid around her lol. Looking back, she might have been my gay awakening person lol.
This is now my go-to podcast to listen to when I am sat in my local cafe enjoying coffee 😁 ☕
I never really did anything stupid as a kid. Being in boy scouts though we made alot of things that would definitely hurt us. Took pvc pipes and turned them into blowdart guns with handmade dart. Took wooden blocks and carved them with rubber bands and clothes pins into makeshift crossbows that could fire pencils and pens. They could pierce thick cardboard easily.

24:19 The _jump_ from Mark's voice
I'm pretty sure easy bake ovens are becoming unusable as the incandescent light bulb becomes obsolete. The whole purpose of the toy is that it uses the heat from the light bulbs to bake the "food" but as we transition from the old incandescent bulbs and into the newer CFL and LED lights, which are more electrically efficient because they don't produce as much heat, the easy bake ovens lose their only real source of heat.
Also, I am a Cars nut and in 2007 I wanted a model of Sarge. I had all the rest of the main cast of characters, but Sarge had eluded me. I never knew why I couldn't have one, beyond my mom's reasoning of something about chemicals, until just this year. There was a massive recall on toys in 2007, it affected Mattel, Lego, and possibly even Hasbro, I want someone to fact check that. Out of all of the Cars models that I had wanted and that had been released, Sarge had dangerous quantities of Lead in him.

I've done the whirlpool thing twice in my life. The first time was with some family at a birthday party, and we broke something in the process because someone ran into it. The second time was in the hotel swimming pool during a choir trip to Toronto. There were twenty of us total, all young adults in college, and we managed to make this large pool into a whirlpool that lasted for quite some time. I don't remember having issues of being dragged to the middle but its possible that I was old enough to avoid such a thing the two times I've done it.

Out of context...is just soo weird🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just found this episode and it reminded me of my own story! So, when I was I a kid, we lived in this close nit neighborhood. And we are old of enough to be left on our own. So, like 9 and above. I was about 10 or 11 at the time. It was Summer and we all outside riding our bikes.
I forget who came up with it, but we decided to do some really stupid shit! It was when all of us were like in the big Motocross, Bike tricks and Skateboarding and Roller-skating. So, we decided in the middle of the road to make our own ramp! So, one person had this Paneling Board or whatever the board is called that it is used in construction. Their Dad finished a Home Improvement Project and had some left over so that was the "Ramp" part. Then what we did to get it up so we jump up in the air. We had five gallon buckets filled with buckets, cinderblocks and like these small sand bags? I think?
Well we made this ramp and tested a bit. And we're having a blast! Well, I'm one of the "Biggest" (heaviest) kid there. I'm not really fast but I was really strong biker. So, we had this idea. *I* would be the one to dragged the person behind me to get them up to speed for the ramp so they can do this big trick in the air. And what we used was this old jump-rope. So, I tied around my waist, then I gave the other end to the kid that grabbed it tied in their.
So, here I am biking as fast and strong as I can I go to the side while the person I'm dragging when on the ramp letting go of the jump-rope.
One, kid wanted to try to do a backflip. Yes, you read that right a backflip! Well, we do this thing, their in the air, do the backflip and landed on the back tire and flopped backwards landing on their back. They were alright, had some bruised and the wind was knocked out of them. But yeah, that's my story!
17:56 growing up we called it dead or alive! it had an extra part to it where you’d do the regular yell out the number of points it’s worth, but then call out if it’s dead (catch it after it hits the ground), alive (catch it before it hits the ground), or both.
so you’d shout something like “400 points alive!” and just watch as kids scramble over each other to catch the ball sjsjs
nvm just listened further and he mentioned the dead or alive aspect haha
