This episode is brought to you by Panda Express. If someone wanted to tell me that they love me, all they would need to do is get me some honey walnut shrimp from Panda Express. The message would not be lost in translation. In fact, I might even rather have honey walnut shrimp than words from an actual human mouth hole. If you're trying to get a message to me, honey walnut shrimp, however you want to say it, say it with delicious, authentically cooked American Chinese cuisine from Panda Express. Have you eaten yet?

This episode is brought to you by Facebook. The holidays bring people home. Facebook brings people together. From spontaneous messages that lead to overdue catch ups, to finding new communities and friends to go on tangents with. Like in your favorite podcast Facebook group on Facebook, a little connection goes a long way. Especially the night before Thanksgiving.
Ish
Facebook is the only way I keep track of, like, a lot of my family members around the holidays. We're all like, nostalgic and remembering, like the time that we could all fit under or. And so we all reach out like, oh, have these stories and such, which is actually really, really nice.
Bob
But you know what's even better than that? Things. Facebook Marketplace is my favorite. But it's even more fun when I have to go visit my stupid parents around the holidays and I can pull up Facebook Marketplace and see what's for sale around their house.
Ish
I caught up with a friend I hadn't talked to.
Mark
What'd you buy?
Ish
A few moments of their time.
Mark
You had to pay for that?
Ish
Lame.
Mark
Let's reconnect this holiday season with.
Ish
This episode is brought to you by Mentos Gum. Keep things fresh. It's important, right? And I'm not just talking about fresh breath. It's important to switch up your routine whenever you can. I just. I'm the person who can't help but chew. You put up a mint in your mouth, you're supposed to suck on it. I'm like, swallow. So I kind of need gum.
Bob
You turn into a cartoon dog. I'm sorry. Next time we hang out, I'm giving you a mint just to see what happens.
Ish
And of course, another way to refresh every day is with Mentos gum, available in a range of fresh flavors like spearmint fresh mint and strawberry windows gum. Yes to fresh.

Announcer
Listeners or watchers and welcome to Distractable.

Gagging Gollum it and sad Shaggy boxed up Brooklyn Bob goes a roaming does deeply demonic trek Bill brilliantly and a fabulous froggy. From Wade's nips to bad mouthed Elmo, it's time for please laugh. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Bob
Hello everyone.
Ish
Welcome back to another episode of Distractable. I'm today's host, Ish.
Mark
Thought you forgot your name. I legitimately thought you forgot.
Ish
I have some imposter syndrome going on today.
Bob
I'm Ron Burgundy.
Ish
I didn't win last episode, but I'm hosting on behalf of the listeners who did win.
Mark
You're going to get all the ire. All the listeners are going to channel their hate at you.
Bob
It's his fault.
Ish
Yeah, they might. Unless I built an episode specifically for the listeners. Time will tell.
Mark
Damn. We did not have that much time in between these episodes. Oh, man.
Ish
I had about two minutes.
Mark
They're going to be happy.
Ish
Oh boy.
Mark
Cause we're speedrunning today.
Ish
If you're wondering why I'm wearing the same shirt for the next six episodes, it's because we're doing a speedrun and I'm gross. Joined as always by Mark and Bob, who also didn't win. None of us won last episode, but.
Bob
I can confirm Wade is gross.
Ish
Thank you. I need my points pad.
Bob
You're wearing that shirt that's like flesh toned so it looks like you're just topless sitting here hosting the episode.
Ish
Editors put in nipples you probably can't.
Bob
Unless they can just two nipples appear on your forehead, like wherever you want.
Ish
Dealer's choice. So how are you guys? Fill in while I get my notepad ready. That deathly was ready already moving.
Bob
God fucking hate moving.
Mark
You're moving.
Ish
Yeah.
Bob
I don't know if you could see. Remember how all these shelves used to have shit all over them? This I can only hope will be the last time I ever move for the rest of my life. Damn. We'll see if that holds up. Because I'm pretty sure I said something like that when we moved to this place. But we are moving. The movers will be here in the less than 48 hours. I will say this area like my desk is covered in all the same. I haven't packed it at all. This is the least packed part of the entire house. All the rest of our house is in like boxes and shit. But we have been hardcore pretty much most of the day, every day since Saturday. And today is Tuesday. Moving, packing, Carrying heavy shit up and down stairs. I fell on the stairs one time, Totally fine. Survived. But the movers actually show up and then we'll be moved over. Honestly, as much as I despise moving, this is lame because I always do this and circle it back to being a dad now that I'm a dad. But the most concerning part of all this for me is I'm curious how James is going to handle it, right? We've already moved once, but he was like a baby when we moved. We moved from California back to Ohio to be closer to our parents when he was like 10 months old. Which was tricky because 10 months olds are tricky. But this is different now, right? He's. He's old enough now. Where like his room is his room. He knows that that's his bed, that's his bookshelf. This is his book. We're like packing up his belongings and they're disappearing and he's kind of like, hey, didn't that bookshelf wouldn't that full of books. Where'd all my books go? And it's like he's being really cool so far. But I'm curious the first night, like we're gonna sleep in this house tomorrow night and then the next night we're gonna sleep in the other house and his bed is gonna new room and it's going to be smell different. And I just don't know how it's going to go. He might be totally fine. He's really chilly. He likes traveling. He loves staying in hotels and stuff. We've done that a couple times. But I'm worried that it's going to be hard on him because he is so young. It's hard to express how he's feeling or understand exactly how he's feeling. And moving is weird and moving is difficult. So it sucks. And I hate packing. But the main thing on my mind is James because I'M really curious and just want to make sure he does okay. Because it's a big change for a little kid who doesn't necessarily understand why all his shit is all moved around and not where it's supposed to be anymore. But it'll be over soon, he said, forgetting about the three months of unpacking that always follows a move from house to house.
Ish
I want to comment, but I need to sneeze.
Bob
I'll allow it.
Mark
I'll comment. Moving.
Wade
Ha.
Mark
Would never. I would never do that. Ever in history of forever have I ever moved.
Ish
Not once since I've known you. I think you're in the longest period of not moving that I know of.
Mark
That actually is true.
Bob
If you just stay in hotels and Airbnb, you don't have to move. You can be anywhere.
Mark
That's true.
Bob
I kind of practically live in Texas. But you don't. You didn't move there.
Mark
You're goddamn right. I have been so in hotels and everything has been kind of crazy. I've been doing a lot of traveling. I was at. This is probably not a secret, but I was at Warner Brothers mixing stage for the movie. Don't get excited, everybody. They're not doing it.
Bob
Final stretch.
Mark
I was at Warner Brothers lot because the sound mixer, Brad was like, it'd be really great if we could put the finishing touches in an actual, like, really large movie theater room. And this was super cool because I had never seen anything more than his mixing room, which is not small, it's not tiny, but it's like a living room size with a projector screen. And it's pretty good. This was literally, if you took a movie theater and you put. Pulled out all the chairs, that's what this was.
Bob
That's fun.
Mark
And it just had a big sound mixing desk and had an upper level where there was like a desk up there that I could. I could work on as. As he was doing that. And.
Ish
And it was.
Mark
It was really, really, really fun. Just, you know, unfortunately came at a terrible time because all the other things going on. But I did appreciate the experience because I got to go. I. I'm not really much for touring the lots, but I was able to go onto Warner Brothers lot with an actual, like, I belong here path, which is very funny. Okay, this is. This is probably. I don't know this talking about their security too much, but what's really funny to me about their security is they don't allow Ubers to go in, which I understand.
Bob
Sure.
Mark
I usually would drive and I would go there I show the passenger my id, and then I go on. But one day, for some reason or another, I didn't have my car and I had to take an Uber there. And I didn't realize he could drop off. So he turns around, the Uber driver's pissed at me. Tank my score, probably, but, you know, it's fine. I get out and I'm like, okay, I'll go through. And I don't know why I thought I could go through through the car gate, but I walk up to the gate again, glares at me, and he points to the pedestrian entrance. But what's silly to me is I go through the pedestrian entrance, and there's a whole rigmarole, like metal detector scanning, looking at your bags. There's like two people on either side checking for just. Just me. I was the only one there, I guess, for studio tours to do that, but they don't do that for cars. So I'm just like.
Bob
Wait, I could.
Mark
Bring anything in my car. Why are you checking my bag?
Ish
I can bring it.
Mark
This seems like a glaring suspicion, so maybe I shouldn't talk about that as, like a glaring weakness in their security protocol. But it just seems strange.
Bob
But there must be a reason.
Mark
I mean, I'm assuming that if you were an employee, you'd be driving. But I'm like, not every employee drives. And some park out in the. There's. There's garage. Anyway, I don't know. It's none of my business.
Ish
It was cool.
Mark
There was a lot going on there. I didn't peek my head into any of the sound stages, so. And I probably couldn't say anything if I did see something. But it was nice. It was actually a really nice place. They had, like, this whole cafeteria, which I forget that most places of employment have their own cafeteria. It's very good food. I didn't go out for lunch to the cafeteria a lot because I was working the whole time. But it was a nice experience and it was super cool.
Bob
That's fun.
Mark
One of the Warner Brothers guy who was in the room said it was fucking badass. So I'm very, very happy about that. And that's it.
Bob
Nice. Yep.
Ish
Well, I gotta say, Mark, you earned the segue point.
Mark
Oh, okay.
Bob
Warner Brothers security flaws.
Ish
Whenever you got to the gate, somebody said something to you, right?
Bob
Yeah.
Ish
And how did they sound?
Mark
He glared at me and then pointed to the.
Bob
Yeah, he didn't say anything. He.
Mark
This is a pedestrian line.
Ish
No, I thought you did. You did a voice at one point.
Mark
Get out of here. Bub I don't know what it.
Ish
That was. Okay, you know what? We're getting a half a segue. Come on, Cuz, you can't even remember.
Mark
We never had to remember what our Segways was before.
Ish
You just tell us that's okay, because they're the only. It's the only point I've assigned for all the small talk was half of a segue point. The listeners won the last episode. And the listeners are out for blood. There's no small talk points. Okay, there's half of a segue point. But for the listeners, we all three of us are going to be doing some fun impressions today. Voice impressions.
Mark
Oh, I just realized my intestines are exploding today.
Ish
And I've got a list. I've got a list of tongue twisters that we get to read while doing voice impressions.
Bob
Tongue twisters.
Wade
What the f. Listeners.
Mark
Good, Great, good.
Bob
Oh, listeners, you're not. I'm never gonna let you win anything ever again the rest of your lives.
Mark
Just wait till the viewers win. And we have to do something with our eyeballs. It's gonna be crazy.
Ish
So I'm gonna keep this one. We're aiming to get some quick episodes done. Our last one went a little bit longer than intended, so I'll try to keep this short. So I've got a list of like 30 impressions. I'm gonna spin them on a wheel and whenever we close the time, we'll just call it. We'll get as many as we can before then. Okay, we'll do this in kind of whatever. Let's see the order. We'll go, Bob, mark me hooray for the first one. And then we'll mark me, Bob. You know, we'll kind of like rotate in the order that we do. So, Bob, you'll get to go first on this one. And your tongue twister will be. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Bob
Okay, good. That's not the part I'm worried about.
Ish
You know, I'm just gonna post this list of them so you guys can actually read them. Because the whole point isn't to memorize.
Mark
I don't want to dread. I'm not gonna look.
Ish
There you go. Here's your list. And we're just gonna read the first line of each of these.
Bob
I don't even wanna know.
Ish
So for the first one, for number one, we're just gonna read the first line. Number two, we'll read that first line, so on and so forth. So, Bob, your first impression is going to be. Well, we're all gonna do this impression. Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse reading. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Bob
All right, well, I could maybe do this one. You know, I don't do. I don't. I have. I'm like, h. John Benjamin. My. My voice. Acting is my voice. I do my voice, and that's the extent of my voices, which is an insult to him because he actually does do other voices pretty well. But I'm. It's like. Anyway, I'm stalling because I don't want to do this.
Ish
Yep.
Wade
Oh, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Ho, ho. Pack of pickled peppers. Peter Piper.
Ish
You just had to do the first line. Oh, you can keep going if you want, though.
Bob
Oh, no, I'm done then. That's good.
Mark
Yeah, I just want.
Ish
This is just a quick fire.
Mark
Stand back, everybody. Beater.
Wade
Pick the back of pickled peppers.
Ish
Like Mickey's on cocaine.
Bob
Yeah, somehow that sounds like Mickey doing Heath Ledger's Joker.
Wade
Do you want to know how I got these scars? I'm going to show you a magic trick.
Ish
Those were decent, guys. Those were actually decent. Those both swirl. Yeah, they were decent impressions.
Bob
All right. Wait, my. You're including me with that?
Ish
Yeah. I'm not gonna give you my top five ordering of that. That's last episode, but.
Bob
Oh, thank God.
Ish
All right, I gotta do it.
Wade
Oh, boy. Huh? Peter Piper picked a pick of pickled peppers.
Mark
We just picked ones that he would be good at now.
Ish
Actually, I found a list of impressions for beginners because, you know, it turns out every impression I could do is on the list for beginners.
Bob
Oh, God.
Mark
All right. Okay.
Ish
Bob, you went first that time. Mark, you'll go first. I guess I'll go second. Bob, you'll go third this time. Sure.
Bob
It's like. It's like an improv game. We're just going through the line. Let's. Let's do it, boys. We know this.
Ish
Yeah. Mark, you're gonna be reading the first line from sec for number two, the Betty Botter line, as Donald Duck.
Bob
Oh, fucking.
Mark
Fucking what?
Ish
That was a request from Bob specifically.
Bob
Yeah, well, I was sort of hoping I wouldn't have to do that one.
Ish
Oh, I can't do Donald either, so this is gonna be terrible for all of us.
Mark
I hope the listeners are real happy about their win. Okay, that went somewhere else, and I'm gonna stop now.
Ish
I don't know how any of us, Mark, could get a point for that.
Bob
Just for clarity, the line was, betty Botter bought some butter, but she said the Butter's bitter. If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter. That's what Mark said.
Mark
I think that's a terrible Donald Duck impression. Wade, you should dock him points.
Bob
No, I'm not imper. I'm not impressionizing. Wade's next.
Ish
Oh, I am. Oh, fuck.
Bob
What?
Wade
How the fuck. That's close.
Mark
I feel like we were doing the same kind of mouth thing, but mine did not come out like that.
Ish
Did that sound anywhere close? Did it?
Bob
Yeah, it did. I haven't listened to Donald Duck in a long time, but that was pretty close.
Mark
Yeah, that was pretty good.
Bob
Compared to what happened before and what's about to happen now, I think that was way closer. All right. Yeah, here we go. This is gonna be great. God. Oh, hang on. Let me fuck, please. Oh, I can't do without making myself laugh.
Mark
Oh, wow, it's the villain Batman's choking. Where are the drones going?
Bob
No, no, it's Smeagol. Wait, hang on. That's different.
Wade
You guys have made these characters sound so threatening.
Bob
That was on purpose.
Wade
Look, tail, he's got these scars.
Mark
Baby brother's gonna answer.
Bob
How do you make that sound without tensing every muscle in your entire existence?
Ish
I don't know.
Mark
In my.
Ish
Like. You know how you hear your own voice differently to me? I'm not even close. I'm glad it sounds close to you.
Bob
Yours sounds like you at least know what you're trying to do. And, like, it's not like you're doing the voice, but, like, it's. If someone heard that, they'd be like, oh, you're doing Donald. If someone heard mine, they'd be like, is he okay?
Ish
It's almost like you have to combine it with another. Like, you have to almost high pitch your voice a little bit, but also.
Mark
Nah, I'm good. I'm good.
Bob
I don't think I'm refining that one. I think that's staying.
Ish
I can't do it well either, but, I mean, that. That's what I was doing.
Bob
That made my whole head hurt in a way that it doesn't usually.
Ish
Oh, okay, I gotta go first on this one. How much wood would woodchuck chuck? A woodchuck could chuck wood. William Shatner, how much would a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could Chuck wood? Mr. Spock, I think you're doing someone. It would Chuck. Would. Would as much as he could.
Bob
That's the.
Mark
No, no, he's. He's leading us in the right direction. No, he's got it. We just gotta Replicate what he's doing.
Ish
I'm kind of Christopher Walkening my Shatner.
Bob
Yeah, that you kind of walking did. I don't think I have a leg to stand on to make fun of anyone else's impersonation.
Ish
Christopher Walken and William Shatner had a baby for me.
Bob
Oh. So does that mean I have to go next?
Mark
Yes.
Bob
Yeah. See, now I was just laughing at you, but now I have to do it. I immediately regret that I laughed at you. How much wood? Wood. A woodchuck chuck. If a woodchuck could Chuck Wood. Mr. Spock.
Ish
Eh, is he at Mr. Spock? It's immediately Shatner.
Bob
Yeah, he says Mr. Spock after every sentence. I'm pretty sure.
Mark
Okay. All right. I'm gonna do an impression.
Ish
I'm gonna do it.
Bob
Because you have to.
Mark
No, because William Shatner is just a guy. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I'm pretty sure when he's just talking.
Bob
In interviews, that's just how he talks normally off camera.
Ish
I'm pretty sure. I'm trying to remember the commercials he did.
Bob
Oh, wait, you didn't say Mr. Spock, though. So I'm on.
Mark
No, no, that's his character.
Bob
Oh, okay.
Mark
Yeah, he did all the commercials for whatever that travel thing was.
Ish
Expedia is one of those travel office. Expedia.
Bob
Travel opposite Travelopathy. You know, the disease Priceline.
Mark
Oh, yeah.
Ish
We're back to Mark going first.
Mark
Oh, boy.
Bob
Yay.
Ish
So, Mark, you have to do. She sells seashells by the seashore as Scooby Doo.
Mark
Rookie. She. Wait, the list doesn't apply here, right?
Ish
She had legs for days. Raggy.
Mark
There wouldn't be R's for she. It'd just be she, not Re.
Ish
Well, he says Raggy instead of Shaggy.
Mark
Oh, God. He does re. Rails.
Wade
Re.
Mark
Rails by the re. Roar.
Bob
That's actually really good.
Ish
There you go.
Mark
Thank you. Thank you.
Bob
Wait, is it me? Yes.
Ish
I went last the first time, Right?
Bob
Rerose. Re. Rouse.
Mark
Ride a re. Roar.
Bob
Ride the re. Roar. Is that how he does it?
Mark
It was very good, man. That was good. That was good. Yeah.
Ish
Was he a horse?
Bob
Come on. Hey, listen, if you're allowed to leave during my episode, I'm going to consider doing that here. Now.
Ish
Rerolls.
Bob
Reshells.
Ish
Vira. Reroll.
Bob
Reshells.
Ish
That one. Reshows.
Mark
Reshells.
Bob
I figured out how to say an S just for this one word.
Ish
Fraggy.
Bob
What a thing to come up for the S's.
Ish
Yeah, really not great. Let's move on immediately. This episode is brought to you by Uber. You know that feeling when someone shows up for you when you need it most?
Mark
Yeah.
Ish
We all need that sometimes. And Uber knows that Uber isn't just a ride or a meal delivered. It's showing up no matter what.
Mark
I think that might be them knocking on the door. And because they're, you know, Uber's really good about getting them right to where you are. To them or the FBI. I'm not 100% sure.
Bob
Yep.
Ish
When it really matters, whatever it is, you show up or there's a will. We're on our way. Uber. On our way. Download the app today. Bob, you're first. I'm second. Mark's third.
Bob
What is this? Tongue twister? Is this an established tongue twister?
Ish
I don't know.
Bob
How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
Wade
What the fuck is that?
Ish
Okay, but you have to do your best clown impression for this, like, a Bozo the Clown type thing.
Mark
Any clown.
Ish
I mean, I'm kind of thinking, like, you know, default kind of. I can't. I'm. I'm second on the impression list. Just do a clown.
Bob
Okay.
Ish
What? You think a clown sounds like the stereotypical kind of clown voice?
Bob
Yep. I know what clowns sound like because I see a lot of clowns.
Wade
Hey, kids, how can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
Bob
Is that what clowns sound like?
Mark
I don't want that clown to be at my house.
Wade
Hey, it's Mark's birthday, everybody.
Ish
Oh, no. Please, no.
Wade
Do you want me to make you a balloon animal?
Bob
Nope. No, I'll make you a frog. What?
Ish
Okay.
Wade
It's harder than it sounds.
Mark
It sounds difficult. Why would that be an animal you could make.
Wade
I got green balloons. What else am I gonna make?
Mark
You're not a guru, are you? Okay, who's. Who's next?
Bob
Wade's turn.
Mark
I don't know this order. I. I don't know this.
Bob
I think we're just randomly shuffling. I don't know.
Ish
The order's fine. It's me now, then, Mark.
Bob
It's fine. It's fine.
Wade
How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
Mark
Snagglepuss?
Bob
No, he's. You're Chuckles from Legends of Avantis, right?
Ish
Yeah. Yeah.
Mark
There you go.
Ish
Chuckles.
Bob
Yeah. Chuckles. Yeah, Got that.
Ish
All right. Why does she wear seashells?
Wade
Because she's too big for bee shells, that's why. My friends back home all called me.
Bob
Whiskers.
Wade
Because I'm curious. Like a cat. It helps my crippling depression.
Mark
Oh, all. Okay. Hello, Georgie. How can a clam cram in a clean cream can? It's Pennywise.
Bob
It's Pennywise.
Ish
I got that.
Mark
Okay, cool.
Ish
All right. Good.
Mark
I wasn't sure.
Bob
You just seemed surprised by the sound that came out of your mouth a little bit. We all were.
Ish
I think it's fine.
Mark
Don't worry about it.
Ish
Hiya, Georgie.
Mark
Hello, Georgie. I thought it was great.
Bob
That was immediately recognizable as Pennywise. It was spot on.
Mark
Good, good, good.
Bob
It just made me laugh. But we're here. We're doing bits.
Ish
Clowns make you laugh?
Bob
Honestly, I hate that tongue twister. That's a bad one. I don't like that one at all.
Mark
Yeah, I don't want to clam cram clans.
Bob
I don't want to cram anything in anything else.
Mark
Even if it was, like, clean, dirty. I don't care. What's a cream can? Whipped cream can.
Bob
I don't know. I don't like it.
Ish
Okay. I think I'm first on this one. Then we will have all had to lead at least once. Is that right?
Mark
Sure.
Bob
Or twice.
Ish
I mean, twice. I mean.
Bob
Yes.
Mark
Yes.
Ish
Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
Mark
Wait, aren't these the same tongue twister?
Bob
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Oh, sorry.
Mark
I was looking at the next one. I was. I was stupid.
Ish
Why could that not have been the clown? I scream, you okay, Shaggy, if you're the host, you can do whatever you want. It's random. I'm doing a wheel.
Bob
Yeah, but you could lie.
Ish
I guess that's true. Like, I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
Mark
It wasn't good.
Wade
What?
Ish
Zoinks.
Bob
That was okay.
Wade
That's.
Bob
That's what he sounds like, isn't it?
Mark
I don't think it was good. I thought so, but this is gonna be worse. So I think that. Yeah, I heard that. I'm like, that's not Shaggy. But I'm also like, oofers. I don't think I can, like, Scoob.
Wade
Like, Scoob. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
Mark
Fucking.
Ish
What the fuck?
Wade
Hey, that's.
Ish
I knew who you were going for.
Bob
Yeah, that's recognizable.
Ish
The listeners are picturing these characters saying these things.
Bob
That was, like, Matthew Lillard was in the room with us.
Ish
I love Matthew.
Mark
I always come back.
Ish
I remember when Shaggy said that before killing the children.
Bob
Oh, now I have to go.
Ish
You do.
Bob
My enjoyment is immediately ruined.
Wade
Like, zoink, Scoob. I scream, you scream. Like, we all scream for some ice cream, man.
Ish
Beautiful, right?
Mark
Yeah, that was good.
Bob
Just improvise a little bit.
Mark
Yeah, it's a bit harder than you think, man.
Bob
He says man a lot, right?
Ish
Yeah.
Mark
It's much harder than I would think it would be.
Ish
Should we wrap there? Should I do one more round? I know we're trying to keep these short.
Mark
One more.
Ish
One more round.
Bob
Mark's not done stuff.
Ish
Let's do it.
Mark
I got it.
Ish
So now we're back to Mark, Bob, then me.
Mark
Yep.
Bob
Okay.
Ish
This is Susie in the shoeshine shop as Kermit.
Mark
I don't want to grow anymore.
Ish
I think we should stop.
Bob
This is a beginner one. We can do this, I think.
Mark
Oh, God. What does Kermit sound like?
Ish
It's okay to take him up to like practice. Like, if you. If you want to like get. Get it out there.
Mark
It's like AI model trying to figure out how to do this.
Ish
That's okay. Bob's got me on like the adventurous train, so I'm like.
Mark
Doorbeck doesn't want to do any more impressions. Oh, yeah, I've seen the animations for that. But that's not Kermit, is it?
Ish
No.
Mark
Well, then why'd you do it?
Ish
No, I just have evangerist voices in my head. You know, it's not easy being green.
Mark
These are the same. Should I do the second one or the first one?
Ish
Susie? It's number seven because it's.
Mark
I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop. Susie works in a shoeshine shop. Is the next one.
Ish
Whichever one you want to do, I guess.
Bob
Yeah, do the longer one. That one's funny.
Mark
Yeah, I'll do the long one.
Wade
Suzy.
Mark
Nope, that's Shaggy. Ah, man. Kermit.
Bob
Huh?
Mark
Look up a video. Kermit sounds is what I googled. I'm bad at googling, man. Gone downhill. Okay, I got it.
Wade
Hey ho.
Mark
No, I don't got it.
Ish
Hey. Ho.
Mark
Kermit the frog here.
Ish
Alright.
Mark
Susie works in a shoe shine shop. Where she shines, she sits. And where she sits, she shines.
Bob
I was really hoping yours would be worse than that. I'm not gonna lie.
Mark
I had a lot of practice. I had a lot of practice. Ah.
Wade
Hey.
Bob
Hey. Ho. Hey. Hey.
Ish
Ho.
Bob
Hey.
Wade
Ho.
Bob
Hey.
Mark
Ho.
Bob
Ho. Hey. Hey there.
Wade
Hey.
Bob
Is he Canadian? Is Kermit Canadian?
Ish
He can be.
Mark
Yeah, he can be.
Bob
Susie works in a shoeshine shop. Where she shines, she sits. And where she sits, she shines. Oh, man. I got so caught up on not saying shits that I forgot I was doing A voice?
Mark
No, no.
Ish
Kermit's in the room with us. I feel it.
Bob
How does he yell? Ow.
Mark
What was that?
Bob
That's fine. It's just the heavy weight I'm playing with.
Mark
Okay.
Ish
Susie works in a shoe shine shop. Where she shines, she sits. And where she sits, she shines.
Mark
I thought we did it bad, but I think we're doing pretty good.
Ish
Oh, I didn't think it was that bad.
Bob
Oh, you know what? I shouldn't have tried to do Kermit. I should do my Patrick Mahomes impression.
Ish
I found that funny.
Mark
I should know who that is, shouldn't I?
Bob
Take that, you scumbag.
Mark
Is that a sport thing?
Bob
Yeah, he's a quarterback for the Chiefs.
Mark
I feel like that's a sport thing.
Ish
I've never understood the beginning of that joke, but it makes me laugh.
Bob
By the transitive property. I just want to throw this out there because it makes me feel better about football because I'm a Bengals fan. By the transitive property, the Chiefs lost to the Dolphins, so that is hilarious.
Ish
That's true.
Bob
The Bills beat the Chiefs, and then this past weekend, the Bills lost to the Dolphins. That means that the Chiefs are worse than a team that lost to the Dolphins. That's what I'm going to cling to while we wait for Burrow to recover from surgery so we can go 4 and 11, or however many games it is.
Ish
Yeah, it's almost as bad as losing to the Jets. So Christopher Walken is doing Fuzzy Wuzzy. Bob, I think you're first, then me, then Mark.
Mark
I thought we were done.
Bob
Oh, yeah. I thought we were doing one more.
Ish
No, one more round meant we each host one more.
Bob
We're doing one more all the way around.
Mark
Oh. Oh, no. All right.
Bob
Yeah. No. Okay. Thanks, Mark. Who? Who, Who?
Mark
Wow.
Bob
Christopher Walken. Right?
Mark
Okay.
Ish
Yep. Wow.
Bob
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't Fuzzy Wuzzy. That's not what he sounds like. That's just the voice I ended up doing. I just wanted to. I wanted to keep it consistent. Start to finish was my goal.
Mark
So that was good. That was good. Okay.
Ish
I gotta not Shatner my walkin' since I walk into my Shatner.
Bob
Shatner. I barely know her.
Ish
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wazzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't Fuzzy. Fuzzy.
Bob
Is Wade gonna win this episode or.
Mark
No, no, no. Just wait. Wait for this. I got this.
Ish
I'm getting no points.
Mark
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't. Fuzzy Fuzzy. Let me try again. Let me try again. No, no.
Bob
I'm laughing because at the end, you did the Fuzzy Wuzzy. He did De Niro face. He did the like. Squinty like the.
Mark
Oh, yeah. And Christopher Watkins never squinted a day in his life.
Bob
He's got big eyes. He doesn't squint. He just has a funny voice.
Mark
Would that change the voice? I do. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. That better?
Bob
I would say that was a little better.
Ish
Well, the first part was better. Then the second part felt a little bit less walking.
Mark
Then who was it sitting?
Ish
I don't know.
Mark
Who was that?
Bob
Christopher De Niro standing.
Ish
All right, this is the last one. Let's. Mark decides he wants another round.
Mark
Oh, I get to choose.
Bob
Why are we leaving this in his hands? Why is that? How did that become part of this?
Ish
Elmo does can you can a can. Who's first on this one? Is it me? You? Okay. Okay. Elmo.
Mark
Oh, no. You've never done Elmo before?
Bob
Yeah, we're screwed.
Wade
Can you can a can as a can or can can a can? It's a little seize.
Bob
That's a big word for Elmo.
Wade
Well, you can go fuck yourself. Can you can as a can. Oh, sorry. Can you can can a can as a can can. Honestly, that was.
Bob
That was.
Ish
It sounds like you're at the bottom of a hole and Elmo's yelling down to you.
Wade
It was really good.
Bob
It just sounded like Elmo was in trouble.
Mark
I could not do more than, like.
Bob
A word or two at a time.
Mark
I don't know why I could not. Like, I didn't need that much air, but I felt like I did. I felt like. It's like getting waterboarded, but with air.
Ish
I think you're chesting Elmo. I. I like top of my roof. The roof of my mouth Elmo. It's like you were chesting Elmo.
Mark
I don't know what that means. I don't want to chest Elmo.
Bob
Are we birds? I just.
Ish
I like. I don't do great impressions, but I like figuring out how people do them.
Wade
Can.
Bob
And that's the end of the episode, huh?
Wade
So fast. All right, can you kind of can? That's possible. That's a big wolf.
Ish
Your impression's always turned, like, into someone from Brooklyn. Like, you have Brooklyn Elmo.
Bob
Look, man, I felt really good about that for half a second, and then it just.
Ish
No, it's good, but just, like, the.
Bob
Last got away from Me, you know.
Ish
The last few words. Just like Brooklyn, Elmo. I don't even think I could do it.
Bob
I couldn't either. So don't if you're waiting for me to do that again.
Wade
Hot dog and some coffee.
Bob
Is that what they said? I mean, yeah.
Mark
That was good. Yeah.
Wade
Hey, I'm from Brooklyn.
Mark
Okay, maybe not. Maybe I spoke too soon.
Ish
Maybe not.
Mark
Oh, let it end.
Bob
Well, are we doing another round? Mark, what do you think?
Mark
Oh, I don't need to think. I don't wanna.
Ish
All right, that's too bad. We had some great impressions left on the list.
Mark
Ah, yeah. Yep. I bet.
Bob
I guess. Was Smeagol on the list?
Ish
Oh, of course he was.
Bob
Sure.
Mark
Oh, good. Was he next left on the list?
Ish
I had? I'm just completing the ones we already did. We had Dracula, Batman, Smeagol, goofy Ryan Stiles version of Carol Channing, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Patrick Starr.
Mark
That's pretty.
Ish
Yeah. So we had seven we didn't get to. That's not bad. Let me go through the current points. I gave you guys a wash for Walking and Elmo. I couldn't decide there were parts about your walk. Ins and Elmos I liked and didn't like equally. And I didn't give myself any points, so I gave myself no criticism. But so far, for the points, I gave Mark half of a segue point. He got Donald, Scooby, Clown and Kermit Bob. I gave Mickey Shatner Shaggy, and he made me laugh when he said, mahomes is Kermit. Currently, we are at four and a half points Mark to four points. Bob. It's only a half point difference.
Bob
It's anybody's ball game.
Mark
I feel like my Shatner was pretty good, you know, because I want to reiterate, he's just a guy.
Bob
I can't argue with the logic, but I feel like if your impression needs an explanation, that maybe it could be a better impression.
Mark
It's fine. It's fine.
Bob
I don't know why I'm trying to win this. If anyone deserves to win this, it's not me.
Ish
None of us deserve to win this.
Bob
I don't know if anyone deserves to win it, but I deserve to not win it, pretty clearly.
Ish
I also don't know how I feel about the fact literally every voice I like I can do okay at that. Was on the list of beginner voices. Yay.
Bob
Well, is it wheel time or.
Mark
Oh, it's wheel time.
Ish
Yeah. I've got to add something to the list.
Mark
We already have Best impression in there. I Think, if I recall.
Ish
I think we do.
Bob
I don't know.
Ish
I'm trying to think of something creative here.
Mark
How about, like, dreaded the turns the most or dreaded their turn?
Ish
Oh, yeah, yeah. Least wanted to participate.
Mark
Yeah, something like that.
Ish
Which one of you two least wanted to participate today? It's hard to.
Mark
It'd be a tough call if it landed today.
Ish
But least wanted to participate. Most dread to participate.
Bob
I put most dread to participate because I really like dread as a word.
Ish
That's fair. Dread is a good word.
Bob
All right, first we gotta figure out how many.
Mark
Oh, boy.
Bob
Let me guess. Three.
Ish
I'm feeling two.
Wade
Oh, wow. Oh.
Ish
Mark Stradamus in the house.
Mark
Next, constitution. We add a bonus point for guessing how many.
Bob
I like that. We should add sports betting as a concept into our constitution. Yeah, yeah.
Mark
We wager our points.
Ish
Hit our parlay.
Bob
All right, everybody ready? Two spins. Spin number one. Only wrong answers. All right. I gotta be honest. I don't remember what this means.
Mark
I think this was for someone who literally, if there were any questions, got everything wrong.
Bob
If the questions were impressions, I think I'm a candidate for only wrong answers.
Mark
I'll leave it up to Wade. I'm not sure if anything could qualify as questions here.
Bob
I think Mark and I both had our strengths and weaknesses, so I'm not going to say that I'm exclusively.
Ish
I think we re. Spin this because I don't know that you all tried. This isn't exactly like. Like something you. We all do in the regular. So, like, I'm not gonna be super critical here. So I wouldn't say anything was wrong. It's not like I told you do Elmo when you guys came out and you were like Igor or something. Well, even though William Shatner might have been.
Bob
Had the most harrowing small talk.
Mark
Well, I talked about Warner Brothers. I had that Uber ride. That was scary.
Bob
Yeah, well, you went through security. I'm moving. It's moving. Harrowing.
Mark
Oh, yeah, you were. No, you were dreading moving.
Ish
They're both pretty harrowing, I'm not gonna lie.
Mark
Actually, you started your small talk off like, I hate this and xyz, that's true.
Ish
Harrowing is defined as acutely distressing. Moving is more distressing than going through security. Probably.
Mark
Probably.
Ish
Okay, so, yeah, Bob, I'll give you the harrowing.
Bob
I'll take it.
Ish
That puts Bob in the lead by half a point.
Bob
Good old classic heroin point.
Mark
But watch this.
Wade
Golf rules.
Bob
That's gonna be really. I should stop doing. Get out of here. No, that's Spinning point for listeners. Get out of here.
Ish
Listeners get a point.
Bob
You're not invited.
Ish
Congratulations, Bob. That makes you the winner.
Mark
There are so many options on this wheel. How many times has it landed?
Bob
Points for listeners you want to see?
Ish
Oh, quite a few.
Mark
Oh, you actually have the stats.
Bob
Well, so if I do another spin. When you do the spin. When it finishes, there's an option to look at stats. Few stats.
Mark
Oh, my God. Yeah.
Bob
Most locked in 7 times. Point for listener 7 times. Best looking 7 times. Most self sabotage 6 times.
Mark
I can't believe shirt closed the backgrounds 5 times.
Ish
We've done that a lot.
Bob
Sudden death is 5 times. Why does that keep coming up? Baldest is three times. Easy.
Mark
Yeah, go to the bottom. I want to see the bottom.
Ish
I wish we could see the zeros.
Mark
I guess it doesn't. Doesn't say zeros.
Bob
Okay, well, that's not very fun.
Ish
There's got to be some that have just never rolled that have been on there since the beginning.
Bob
Definitely.
Ish
Wait, how many points go to viewers? Oh, they're that five. Okay, seven and five for those two.
Bob
That's ridiculous.
Mark
That's ridiculous.
Ish
But in this episode, it's fair. It makes sense to me.
Bob
Does it?
Mark
Does it?
Ish
Doesn't have to be.
Mark
Was it?
Ish
Unless someone declares it's not. I think it is.
Bob
I'm not gonna do it.
Ish
So that's the game. Congratulations, Bob, for winning. Bob, give us your winner speech.
Bob
I don't feel like I won. I think the original score will tell you that I, in fact, did not win. But the wheel is part of what we do here, and I guess I deserve this. I will host a very, very good episode that will not be themed after the listeners. So everyone can look forward to that and not having to hear us do any more impressions, at least for one more episode.
Ish
Well said, Mark. Loser speech still too late. Yeah, the winner's speech was given. I think that's the rule, isn't it?
Bob
I'll allow it.
Mark
Bob, keep talking.
Bob
Oh, yeah. I wasn't done, by the way. Oh, also, I just want to say that. Unfair. Does it count?
Ish
Bob said he'd allow it, and I just frankly don't give a shit, so. Sure.
Bob
All right.
Mark
I think. What do I think?
Ish
What's unfair? Bob's winner speech.
Mark
What is unfair? I'm trying to. I'm trying to really scrape the bottom.
Bob
Of the rule barrel here for a.
Mark
Way to eke out a win.
Ish
Oh, you think the final score is unfair?
Bob
Yeah. You can challenge the final score. That's allowed.
Mark
Yeah, yeah. I think because Bob is running the wheel that he's biasing it for himself.
Bob
Probably.
Mark
Probably.
Ish
Okay, so you're saying specifically the wheel spins were unfair?
Mark
Yeah. Yes.
Ish
And the wheel spins went to Bob and listeners. So if you win, the points go to you and viewers.
Mark
Yeah, that seems only fair.
Ish
Okay. All right, so three heads means Mark is correct and wins three tails. It's doubly fair. Otherwise it stays the same.
Bob
Okay. Tails. Heads.
Ish
Tails.
Bob
Heads.
Ish
All right, so it was fair.
Mark
I tried.
Ish
And Bob, coincidentally. Great winner speech.
Bob
And now I'm done with my winner speech. Thank you. Wow.
Ish
Well, time.
Mark
What a speech, Mark.
Ish
Loser speech.
Mark
Ah. Hey, man, what's up? I wish my small talk had been more harrowing. I wish that the listeners lose their ears. I wish that the viewers gain extra eyes.
Ish
And.
Mark
And, you know, as a loser, I don't think I'm gonna get any of those wishes because if I lose, I don't get what I want.
Bob
Do I get wishes? Did I miss on witches?
Mark
Ah, your speech is over.
Bob
Wish wishes.
Ish
You get witches.
Mark
Yeah, sorry you missed out. You'll. I guess you'll have to win again later. Yeah. But thank you for allowing me to participate so that I could lose. I guess I'm done with my loser speech.
Ish
Now, on behalf of the listeners, the real winners from last episode. Wow, what a great episode. Great effort, everyone. You guys can find these great impressionists online. Mark at markiplier, Bob at my skirm. I'm also there as Minion 777 or Lord Minion 777. Stay tuned for the next one where Bob will host, and it'll probably be another very quick episode like this one. Oh, until then, podcast. Now.

In this lively and laughter-filled episode, the Distractible trio—Mark Fischbach (Markiplier), Wade Barnes (LordMinion777, aka “Ish/Wade”), and Bob Muyskens (Muyskerm)—deliver a rapid-fire round of celebrity and cartoon impressions mixed with classic tongue-twisters. Wade hosts this listener-driven challenge, forcing everyone out of their comfort zones and into chaotic, cringe-worthy (and occasionally hilarious) impressions. Points are awarded for impressions and comedic performance, with the “Wheel” returning for some unpredictable final rulings and shenanigans.
| Time | Segment | | --------- | ------------------------------------------ | | 03:39 | Episode Setup & Small Talk Begins | | 05:09 | Bob’s Moving Anecdotes | | 08:07 | Mark’s Warner Brothers Studio Stories | | 12:01 | Introduction to the Impressions Challenge | | 14:04+ | Impressions Gauntlet (Mickey, Donald, etc.) | | 25:27 | Pennywise Impression/Pastiche | | 30:03 | Kermit the Frog Attempts | | 37:20 | Scoring Update | | 39:27 | “Wheel Time” and Fairness Debate | | 42:54 | Winner & Loser Speeches | | 46:15 | Episode Wrap-Up |
Maintaining the trio’s signature mix of chaos, self-deprecation, competitive camaraderie, and improv comedy, the hosts oscillate between genuine effort and gleeful sabotage. Many attempts at impressions derail into mutual laughter, affectionate roasting, and confusion—frequently punctuated by meta-commentary on how poorly it’s all going.
This episode is a prime example of the Distractible spirit: friends mercilessly teasing each other, derailing for the sake of a laugh, and using competition as an excuse for increasingly absurd antics. Whether you're a fan of voice acting or just enjoy hearing adults struggle through Mickey Mouse, Kermit, and Pennywise, “Please Laugh” will provide plenty of cringe, chuckles, and classic Distractible chemistry.
