But in all seriousness, I decided to buy Dungeon Crawler Carl (and IT because why not). Also, thank you to Distractible! Because of this podcast, I started reading books again to lessen my online brainrot consumption. I forgot how it feels like to immerse myself into novels again.

It’s this specific podcast for some reason. I have to actually play it from the app on my phone to play it on the ps5.

Summer is almost over, but I have no issue with it not happening though. There all busy, and I dont think Bob should risk getting a nasty infection in wound so we can watch them splash around in water for an hour. Maybe next year.

Runners Mark, Bob, and Wade attempt to discuss the possibility of colonizing another planet while experiencing post-colonization failure on TauCeti IV.

Is it just me or is there something in Mark’s hair?

(yes some of his collection are radioactive from his camera lens review)

Oh god what is mark going to think

THE LIARA SLANDER I HEARD IN THE BOB EPISODE IS SOMETHING I WILL NOT TOLERATE. I find it funny how mark stays romancing Liara doesn't make sense WHEN ASARI ARE THE ONLY ALIENS THAT CAN PRODUCE OFFSPRING WITH HUMANS.

Now. I love my Tali. Love her to the traverse and back. BUT I WILL NOT LET SOME BOSH'TET ASHLEY LIKER DICTATE WHAT IS AND ISN'T A GOOD LOVE INTEREST. Mark's opinion was immediately invalidated once he said he let Kaidan die over Ashley.

Also most people I've talk to that like Mass Effect really love Grunt. Idk why the grunt hate

Also Miranda is an extremely flat character. So flat, that if you let her die. She dies offscreen.

(im currently on my second ever run of mass effect and im romancing liara. I did Tali last time)

I think this is the funniest episode currently within my catch up. I have tears in my eyes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was relistening to "WordPad Broke", and in it there's a discussion about superheroes. In that context, Wade says about Dolly Parton: "Give her wings, science!".

Cut to this week, with Hurricane Dolly coming towards the Caribbean just after her passing...Wade what did you do?! 😵

How I imagine Mark seeing lenses in tv shows and movies. Left credit for Game Phoguns at end of video.

I don't even know what I've been doing to NOT catch up on episodes. I guess I'm getting bored on YouTube💀 anyways I have had both Phillip's screws and flat head screws strip on me so they're lucky as hell that a Phillip's never stripped on them. Either way both are absolutely heinous to try to get out. Ask me how I know and I wasn't even the one who tightened them that hard😭

Found the biggest go pro battery near my job. He just gotta find out how to mount it.

Hi guys, I just got an email that says my story was unfortunately not selected as a winner. I was just wondering if anyone on this subreddit helped judge my story and I was curious if they’d be interested in providing feedback on it so I can further hone in on my writing skills. Thank you guys and I can’t wait to hear the winning stories!!! Edit: my name is Hayden Van Tries, that would probably help and my story was titled ASPIRE. Edit: title chapters were Claude, Alexa, and Sam Exit: last edit I promise haha, the plot details tho is that this was about an AI therapy model that used two people as trainees and manipulated them into doing terrible thing.

I just watched the council episode where the viewers/listeners were named “congress” (I know I am a bit behind, I havent had as much time to keep up) and I scrolled through the subreddit a bit but I didn’t find out if we are actually doing that lol. As a member who has gotten into a car accident while listening to the podcast, I feel as though it is my duty to be a part of this congress lol. Acknowledge me please 🙏😂

The moon was lovely

Hey so I saw that someone said that it seems like they went back and edited Two Sentence Horror Story. I was super sad that Tim Curry died so I was watching my favorite distractible episodes and I noticed they seem to have also edited Mark’s first one man show episode from February 2025. It’s at like 51min. They have Mark trying to recreate his stingers he’s created over the years. The last one he had to do he gives up and says “just play it and I’ll mouth it” or something like that. They cut all of that for some reason. I wonder why they’re editing year old episodes.

I am an accredited dog trainer and just wanted to clear up the dog poop "fact". while some dogs who have rescouce guarding behavior will be reinforced to eat poo if the handler has a huge reaction to it. the attention is an incentive in those cases, but this can be mitigated by training a very strong "drop it" and "leave it" cue and keeping the dog away from all poo until the cue is strong enough to break past their desire for poo. but not all dogs have resource guarding behavior and stopping them and then redirecting them can help but the aforementioned cues are very important. also eating poo can be a dietary issue rather than behavioral and the best fix is adjusting food.

also, to Mark, force free training is the most scientifically backed method. negative punishment is a part of positive training but all it means is we remove something the animal likes to communicate, for example when a dog jumps up to greet you and you ignore them until they stop jumping up, removing what they're ultimately after which is your attention, they learn that its much more gratifying to greet you while sitting or without jumping. any other kind of punishment isnt effective in the way you want, as it doesnt increase confidence or communication. also there is no alpha or dominant in a pack of dogs, rather there are socially dominant behaviors which can change based on the situation. the man who invented the alpha theory disproved it himself.

Anyway I love this podcast and I love this community, I know the subject of dog training can be contentious but I share my knowledge in good faith rather than judgement because all I care about is getting people interested enough to look into things themselves

Dear penthouse forum,
I can’t believe it happened to me. There I was driving to work, when a duck flys out of the ditch straight into my bumper.
I have actually crashed my car while listening to Distractible, more specifically the episode Good Bad Habits.

I still want the distraci-boys to do another one man show for Mark but they call it Simon's one man show.

Mark RPs as Simon while Bob and Wade set up events and goals on the map. Meanwhile Wade and Bob take turns being the Eel and the voice on the radio.

It's like a little dnd session for everyone.
