This episode is brought to you by Facebook. You know, when you get that gift that is just like so you. It's perfect. Feel, seen, heard, smelt even. Especially when it's a Secret Santa gift. Like, how did Jack from accounting know that I collect vintage action figures?
Wade
How do.
Bob
That's almost creepy, but actually it's just impressive and sweet. You know, on Facebook, a little connection goes a long way.
Markiplier
You mean Facebook Marketplace? Because all of my gifts that I got you guys are from other people that I found on Facebook Marketplace and the incredible deals that I got from them.
Wade
I made my own Secret Santa group so I could give things to myself. And I have been shopping on Facebook Marketplace since you guys mentioned it. And boy, oh boy, the amount of things I can get. For me, there are so many things. Everything is here on Facebook.
Bob

Announcer
Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractable. This episode Mean Mark threatens A cull talks evil equipment, then capitalizes on comedic contractions. Weakling. Wade waddles with ass pain due to refurbishing, rolls on Mrs. Robinson and gets formal. Bon Homie. Bob generates festive Einstein, Rosenbridges scratches up psycho pumps Gump, and Johnny's. From smell o vision to holiday dates. It's time for Size Matters, part two. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Markiplier
Hello, and welcome back to Distractable, the only show you're ever gonna need in your life or else. Or else what? Death.
Bob
Oh, definitive. Well, I mean, not definitive. Well.
Markiplier
Well, no, it's very definitive. If they don't. If they. If it's not the only show in their life, then it's. It's death.
Wade
What if it's not the only show in our lives?
Bob
I guess we're all watching Distractible.
Markiplier
It's death. Wade, the answer to your question is death. And yes, Bob, we are all only listening and watching to Distractable. In fact, listening and watching counts as two shows. Death. Oh.
Bob
Ooh. That's a tough choice.
Markiplier
So you better be watching with no sound or listening with no eyes.
Wade
I guess I'd rather watch with no sound, because listening with no eyes, you have to remove your eyes.
Bob
I feel like you could get rid of the visual however you might choose, but getting rid of your eyes is the safest bet.
Markiplier
Yeah. Safest bet. It's very safe. Yeah. The volume could pop on at any moment. You know, if it switches devices, like goes to your AirPods or something, it happens, then Death. There's only one way to be sure. Anyway, for all of you people out there that aren't betraying us in the worst possible way that yields death. My name is Markiplier. I'm here to be your host and guide through this beautiful experience. I know you can't see me if you're hearing me, and I know you can't hear me if you're seeing me. But if you have a friend next to you and one of you has no eyes and one of you has no ears, then you're good and you can cover all the bases. And if you have a way to communicate to each other, to get all the detail across, that's good in my book. I'm joined by these two also collaborative competitors, Bob and Wade.
Bob
I'm one of those.
Markiplier
Hey, by the end of this episode, you're going to know which one's which.
Bob
Now they never learn.
Wade
We sound alike, look alike, smell alike, indistinguishable. They don't even know which one we're married to.
Markiplier
When the smell version of the podcast comes out, we're going to get so many more car crashes.
Wade
It sure will be.
Markiplier
Speaking of car crashes, this beginning of this podcast is off to a rip roaring start. I can tell. I really chose the good bits for my hostings.
Bob
Oh, come on. I have a little more confidence. I believe in you.
Markiplier
I know. I believe in myself. But when I start threatening death upon our audience, I have a funny feeling that it's, it might not be the best, strongest beginning that we could have to.
Bob
Oh, they like it.
Wade
You're just going for that R rating.
Markiplier
That's a funny process that I could talk about at another time of getting, getting the, the rating there. But I won't talk about it now because it's not my life that we're here to talk about. It is these guys lives that we're here to talk about. So how are your lives going?
Wade
Pretty good? No, not too bad. Recently we replaced an area rug. We had like this big area rug in our family room that took up most of the room and it was tucked under. We have like a corner couch and like another little sofa on the side. And I was like, ah, I need to replace this thing. It's old, it's gross. Previous homeowners had left it. Their dog, I think, had potted on it. Our dog smell that we're like, we need to mark it too. And it was like, yeah, let's get rid of this nasty thing. How hard could it be to lift up a couple sofas, remove a rug, remove a pad, put a new one down? I take like 10 minutes. Pretty easy. Took like 2 hours to get this thing in properly and get it all laid out after removing the old one. And apparently an old rug that's been laying there for like however many years doesn't fold up very nice. So trying to like roll it, move it, get it into like a garbage can, end up getting like a junk company. But it was a whole process. I was like, finally, that's done. Got the new rug, it's nice. Got the padding underneath, it's oriented, everything's perfect. And then I'm just a little sore from lifting the couch 500 times, but whatever. Man, oh man. I don't know if I was lifting wrong or if I'm just that out of shape or using muscles. I never use my back for like three days just like fully locked up. I was just like lemming around like, because I could not just move with a normal face, you know, classic lemming noise.
Bob
Oh, lemming.
Wade
Okay. Yeah, not lemon lemming.
Bob
I thought you were making fun of Lem.
Wade
That's a rune in Diablo 2. I don't know what else it is.
Bob
A guy named Lem. I don't know. You're the one who said you were lemming around. I guess he's one of the stooges.
Wade
Lift. Lift smartly when you move furniture. And also, don't underestimate any task. It might surprise you with how big of a pain in the ass it is.
Bob
I guess I just moved, so I have a lot of perspective on how hard it is to move things around. But I've seen that room. I cannot imagine how you looked at that, and you were like, ah, easy task. Those big couches you have in that room, and it's a. The thing in the.
Wade
It's a lot of dude, the ones all modular. The corner couch is, like, all modular because I guess that's how they put it together, is they can make it. They can make the couch any size just by putting in modules. So, of course, when we were trying to lift it to move the rug, every single piece came undone.
Bob
Yeah, they're not designed to be lifted together. You have to take them apart, and then you have to. It's how they. It's how that works.
Wade
Live and learn. What do you mean, lift and learn? I mean, we tried to lift the whole thing at once, and then all of a sudden, I just had eight pieces of a couch. That might be an exaggeration. I had a lot of pieces of couch.
Markiplier
I mean, I'm impressed that you were able to lift it all at once in the first place. I mean, that is. That is quite cool. And also, I understand how you hurt your back.
Bob
Yeah, that sounds like probably the point where you hurt your back right there. If I had to guess, corner sofa.
Wade
Not meant to all be lifted by one person at once. It was just Molly. My family end up coming to help us put the new one in because they were just like, oh, it sounds like you guys might need some help. And we're like, no, we're fine. And they came and helped anyway. But I did lift it myself a few times.
Markiplier
Wait, were they already there? Did they hear you wheezing from down the road?
Wade
No, they were really excited because they got us the new rug as, like, a Christmas present. So they were excited. They like, it looks like it's been delivered. We're like, yep, installing it right now. It's going better than you could think. They're like, sounds like you need Help. Yep. Please, dear God, help us.
Markiplier
Oh, that sounds lovely. That sounds very nice.
Bob
I thought you said no for the help. Now you're saying yes for the help. He's just making stuff up.
Wade
Well, they said. We said no originally when they said the rug was we can do it. And then whenever we removed the old rug and we talked to them, we were like, yes, actually. Please help us. For love of God, help us.
Markiplier
All right, well, you need to call them up and corroborate this because there's a lot of lies being thrown around.
Bob
This is an evolving story right now.
Wade
No, no, no, no, no, no. A lot of truth. Hold on.
Markiplier
Yeah, she's telling me the truth.
Wade
Yeah, see, that was the truth, though.
Bob
You just got your mom on the line just waiting to talk to you. Mama Minion666.
Wade
Yep. Thanks, Mom.
Bob
Oh, love you, son.
Wade
Love you too, Mom.
Bob
I know she doesn't say that. Which part?
Wade
Love you?
Bob
I don't know. Just part of that really stuck out to me. I'm not going to.
Wade
So, if anything, my mom's at the stage of life where I don't know if everyone hits this stage, but she tells me she loves me a lot, to the point where it's been happening for like a year and a half, but every time she says it, I'm like, something horrible has happened. What's wrong? Why? Why would she tell me this? Why would she say these words to me?
Markiplier
Why? No one knows.
Wade
She said period this time instead of exclamation mark. What does it mean? She's also the person who's like, hey, we need to talk, and does the single K responses. My mom's a texting, anxiety inducing nightmare sometimes, but very loving. Very loving. Worst username of all time, but very loud.
Markiplier
Well, we can't all have the greatest username of all time. I'm not saying it's mine, guys. I'm not. Okay, trying to imply none of us here have the greatest username of all time. Anyway.
Wade
What would your. Does ROM have a username? Is she like mom Skirm or something? Like what?
Bob
My mom have a username?
Wade
Yeah, no, I know. Mark's mom. My mom, Literally, her username is mama minion666.
Bob
I thought that was a joke. I don't realize. That was a real joke. That was a bit.
Wade
That is a real username.
Bob
I thought you were roasting your own username. You made up for the bit?
Wade
Nope. That is. That is my mother's username.
Bob
That's tough.
Wade
It is.
Bob
Wow.
Wade
Anyway, that's My life.
Markiplier
That's all right. That's very funny.
Bob
New rug, goofing.
Markiplier
New rug. That's it. There's the lemon around this guy Lems. Well, thank you for that. That was really informative, Bob. How's your life?
Bob
I'm currently in that stage post move, where there are wormholes forming and consuming and producing different parts of stuff that I know that we own. There is a box. It's the holiday season, which we usually put out Christmas lights. And I know that there is a box full of Christmas lights. I put out, like, a few, but not, like, all of the lights last year because we had just moved. Actually, that wasn't last year, but anyway, I was lazy. We had a baby. It was hard. But I know. I know that we have a box that was in the garage that's full of Christmas lights. And I have looked inside of every fucking box in the entire house, in every room, in every closet, in every bedroom, the box. And it's not even like it got. It was on a truck for, like, five minutes from the old house to the new house. Unless it fell out in the stretch of road, I don't know what happened. But this is not the only thing that that's happening with. I'm at that part of. I don'. If this is a thing you guys get, but every time we move, there's shit where it's like, either a thing, you know, that you packed, that you know that you have. It's gone forever, or something that you thought you got rid of. Like, there was. I forget what it was, but there was something that I hadn't seen since we lived in California. So, like, it's been a few years where I was, like, unpacking a box and I pulled it out and I was like, holy shit, it's haunted. It came back to us. Like, I put this in the dumpster, and it climbed back into our box in the thing and like, Toy Story itself back into our lives. So we're in that phase, which is kind of fun, but also where the. I don't understand where the fucking Christmas lights are. It's time to put some Christmas lights out. And I have not felt very good because my ear's been all fucked up, and I. I'm pretty sure that they just got sucked into a wormhole or something. Like some. Some mystery shit happened.
Markiplier
Yeah, it really does sound like it, but I know that stage all too well. Each time I've moved, I kind of have a different problem where it's like, it goes into a wormhole but then the wormhole opens back up in the middle of the ceiling and just like drops all of my stuff on me. And I'm reminded that I have way too much shit. But I can't bring myself to get rid of it. Especially my sock drawer. I get all of the unused pairs that other people get lose in their laundry machine. It goes into the laundry wormhole, appears in my sock drawer. I have socks I've never seen before in my life. It's absurd.
Bob
So, dude, you never know when you're going to need a micro USB to USB B type B. You never know when you're going to need that cord, but it's going to come up. And if you get rid of that cord, the next year and a half, the span of time that's going to happen and you're like, man, I had one of those. I knew I should have kept it for decades.
Wade
See, the problem is you eventually find it or you eventually find that you need it and then it's buried under all the other things like I'm eventually going to need you. Never find it again.
Markiplier
You know why USB B was made? Do you guys know why?
Bob
Because someone had a device that was too narrow to put a USB A slot on. I honestly don't.
Markiplier
It's literally their solution to the orientation problem. USB B, for those that don't know, it's the one that's kind of like rectangular, but the other way it's vertically tall and got a weird notch in it. It's so you couldn't put it in the wrong way. So, and it is, it's fine. But nothing uses it besides printers. And printers are already the most useless piece of shit that you've ever used in your life. So of course they would use the standard that nothing else ever uses, ever.
Bob
No, you know what? You know what I've run into that uses a lot of that shit? Audio gear. I've had multiple audio interfaces where it was like it came with the cord, but it's like a three foot long USB A to USB type B thing. And I'm like, well, I need it to plug into my computer, which is way the fuck over there. I need like a 12 foot long version of this cord which doesn't exist. But yeah, I don't know why. Printers and audio interfaces. And I actually do own an external hard drive that has a type B plug, but it's like the only one I've ever seen because most of the us, most of the external hard drives have that really skinny one. What is that called. I don't even remember. It's, like, the really skinny one where there's, like, a notch off center. It's, like, super, super. It's wider and skinnier, but it's a USB. But it's not a type A or type B2.
Markiplier
The two side by side, but one smaller. Right? It's. It's.
Wade
It's.
Markiplier
I don't know which one that is. That's a weird one. Yeah, but I know it.
Bob
We've talked about this before, but whoever is inventing all the plugs and shit, just give up and let everyone use usb. C. Holy fuck. God damn it.
Wade
Until next year, whenever a new, better one's invented. Dude, printers used to be such an integral part of our lives, man. It's wild to think, like, I've not used a printer in probably, like, six years.
Markiplier
Oh, man. Amy was about to rage. Throw this printer out the window. Because still to this day, it is not easier. They have not figured it out. They're still like. Because they restrict it because of. People worry about people counterfeiting money or something like that, or documents or stocks or whatever. But it's just. It's absurd at how difficult it is to be like, okay, it's connected to the network. I have the app. It sees the printer. It's all good to go. Hit print. Paper jam. It doesn't work. Didn't get anything. There's no paper anywhere in there. It's, like, completely empty of paper. You shove paper in, it's like, paper jam. It does. Meanwhile, it spat the paper back out. I don't know. It's just.
Bob
Dude, it's on purpose. We recently had to buy a new printer, and I was like, I'm not buying some piece of shit. If I get a nice one, that means it will work, right? No such thing.
Wade
That takes me back to working at the. The federal courthouse and the clerk's office and having to use the copy machine that broke at least three times a week. Because when you're printing, like, court documents and court cases out, those are not small files. So it's like you're just printing hundreds of pages every time anyone needs anything.
Markiplier
Yeah.
Wade
And that fucking thing, I swear, every 10 pages, it jammed. And it wasn't always something we could fix. We'd have to call for help. It was the worst. It was the worst. I never want to deal with printers or copy machines ever again as long as I live.
Markiplier
All in favor of abolishing printers?
Wade
Aye, aye.
Markiplier
All right, motion passes.
Bob
That plug mark is a USB micro Type B, very thin, very wide one with the side by side bits. Of course it is. It's a micro battery.
Markiplier
Some microbial. That's. That's good. That's very good. All right. Good joke. Good joke, man. Good joke. Hilarious.
Wade
This episode is brought to you by Rocket Money. The holidays are the best. You get to hang out with the family, eat loads, drink eggnog and give gifts. Which getting gifts is always better than giving, I think, you know.

I have issues. I can't speak as to we.

All right, you ready to move on to the actual meat of the matter here?
Wade
Oh, I want some meat.
Markiplier
Oh, wait, I don't even remember the name of this one. Sam or whoever's editing this, help me out by putting in the name of this game that this is a sequel to.
Bob
Oh.
Markiplier
You remember that game that we played where I give you a quote and you make it shorter? We're doing that again. I've got more quotes and you've got more or less words.
Bob
I have way less words. You have no idea how less words I have.
Markiplier
For everyone at home, this game is pretty simple. I give them a quote, they're going to take turns by removing a word or. Or not. Not just removing a word, making the quote one word less, but still comprehensible. They are allow change up the wording. They're allowed to change up the words themselves, the order, so long as the meaning of the quote is still comprehensible. By the end of it, it can go all the way down to one word if the meaning is still comprehensible. I think some of these are more challenging than others to do that on. And then at the end, we'll have a special bonus round just to mix things up a little bit.
Wade
Did we do one word at a time last time?
Markiplier
Yeah. One word at a time. Less. So whatever the number of words in the quote, I'll read the quote to you. I'll read it again if you want, and then you'll start. You'll say the quote, but one word less. I'll define how many words, and then you. One and one. I think we allowed you to jump down. You could go shorter if you wanted to. Risky play. But I won't allow you to go too much farther. You can't go straight from the quote down to, like, three words. But if it's like. If it's not exactly one word less, I'll be like. It can be at least less than the previous competitor. Sound fair?
Bob
Yeah.
Markiplier
Heads is Wade. Tails is Bob to go first.
Bob
What is that? That looks like tails to me.
Markiplier
Looks like tails. All right, Bob, you're up first. Your quote is from the movie Psycho. Oh, I couldn't make this easy on you. See, I've never seen Psycho, so I didn't even know this was a quote. In the movie. A boy's best friend is his mother. A boy's best friend is his mother. Seven words. A boy's best friend is his mother. All right, whenever you're ready.
Bob
A boy's best friend is mom.
Markiplier
That's how you do it. That's good. All right, Wade to you, that six. Gotta go less.
Wade
A boy's bestie is mom.
Markiplier
Oh, that's pretty good. That's five.
Bob
So I have to go four? Yeah, you're gonna go four. You, boy, mom, bestie.
Markiplier
I'll take it. Three. Do we have three?
Wade
Boy, bestie, mom.
Markiplier
All right, that's three. Can you do two?
Bob
Am I allowed to set the scene?
Markiplier
Yes, absolutely.
Wade
Okay, please, please set the scene.
Bob
I'm standing center stage. Spotlight. All I'm wearing is a pair of boxers. Before I say anything, I drop my boxers, I hold my junk in my hand, and then I look at the audience and I go, mom, bestie.
Wade
I concede.
Bob
Okay.
Markiplier
All right.
Bob
That's fair, right? It makes sense. That plays, right?
Wade
Yep.
Markiplier
I'll give.
Wade
I concede. I can't. I can't. One word. That.
Markiplier
All right. You could. You could. I know. You're so Smart. You're so smart. But I'm giving him the point. If you concede, I don't know that.
Wade
I could do it.
Markiplier
Wait, are you ready for yours?
Wade
Yeah, let's do it.
Markiplier
All right. So this is from the movie the Graduate, another one that I have not seen. But I have heard this quote before. Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you? Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you'? Nine words. There's a contraction in there with your and aren't so. Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you? Nine words. Give me eight or less.
Wade
Mrs. Robinson, you're Trying to seduce me. Eh?
Markiplier
Trying to seduce me, eh? Yeah, that's good.
Bob
That's a, a, a, a. Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me.
Markiplier
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll take that.
Wade
How many words was that?
Bob
Seven.
Markiplier
Oh, was that seven?
Wade
I thought.
Markiplier
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. You're seven. Sorry, you have six. You have to get six or less.
Wade
Now, Mrs. Robinson want to funk me. Funk, funk.
Bob
That's seven.
Markiplier
That's Mrs. Robinson want to me Robinson. Oh, I thought you said you, Ms. Robinson, want to funk me.
Wade
Must be, but I had a horrible, weird roof of mouth lisp.
Markiplier
I get the intention. I get the intention. It's borderline, but I'll accept it. That's six.
Bob
Going for five, Mrs. Robinson, but you're old.
Markiplier
Yeah, I think in the subtext of that quote, I'm pretty sure that there was that. It's called nagging, you know, you really.
Wade
That was five words.
Bob
That was five.
Markiplier
Yeah, that's five.
Wade
Fuck me, but married.
Markiplier
Oh, I think that qualifies. I think it's close. It's close. Because who's married is a bit ambiguous, but if there was context, I'm seeing this in my mind's eye of the movie scene that I haven't watched. I'm pretty sure it's. Yeah, I get it.
Bob
Okay.
Markiplier
All right, Bob, can you do three?
Bob
So I'm in a room. I'm saying this to Mrs. Robinson, I'm assuming. I'm not saying. Yeah, yeah, okay. So I'm looking at her and I start going, you, me, fuck.
Markiplier
If you're. If we're allowing the scene to be set, I think so long as the question is there, it's really the interrogative that we're needing here. And I like that it's still there. I can still understand it. Wade, can you give me two?
Wade
I'm sitting there across from Mrs. Robinson. Sharing a glass of wine?
Markiplier
Yes. Alright.
Wade
I take a sip. I look her in the eyes and say, so adultery.
Markiplier
Oh, God damn.
Bob
Yeah.
Markiplier
That's great.
Bob
I'm sitting across from Mrs. Robinson. We're enjoying a glass of wine. She looks at me and her eyes say, I'm trying to seduce you. And I look at her and my eyes say, but you're my friend's mom and my teacher. And she's looking at me and her eyes say, yes, and. And I look her dead in her eyes that have said so much. And I say, okay.
Markiplier
No, that's. That's past the interrogative. I was with you all the way up until you agreed.
Bob
She asked. She asked and I.
Markiplier
The asking was the quote. You got. You. You were so close.
Wade
I got the no word. It's.
Bob
Just.
Wade
Yeah.
Markiplier
No, no, no. All right. I'm giving it to Wade.
Wade
I was with us, Bob, but I'll take it.
Bob
Whose side are you on?
Wade
Ours.
Bob
Oh, okay.
Markiplier
You want to do cumulative points here? How's it gonna go?
Bob
No, I was just trying to make sure he advocates for himself. I'll take a. I'll take an easy win.
Wade
Communal me. When I think of communal points.
Markiplier
Okay, Bob, it's back to you. You are going to have a quote from. I'll give you a choice. You either get Forrest Gump or Planet of the Apes.
Bob
Oh, Forrest Gump.
Markiplier
This is a long one. Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. Mama always said life is. Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. 17.
Bob
Jesus.
Markiplier
I know. So we've done a 17 before in.
Bob
The last round, I think.
Markiplier
All right.
Bob
Momma always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get. 16.
Markiplier
Technically, yes. I love it, Wade.
Wade
Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what's there.
Markiplier
All right. 15. That's good. Actually, that's 14. You never know what's there.
Wade
Was that it?
Markiplier
You never know what's there.
Bob
That's what I said.
Markiplier
Oh, you're down to 14. Okay. You skipped one. That's good.
Bob
Mama always said life is a box of chocolates. What's going to happen?
Wade
13.
Markiplier
That's great. Okay, I got it. I got it. Okay.
Wade
Mama said life's like chocolates. What's there?
Markiplier
Oh, God. Jeez. All right, all right, all right.
Bob
Okay. Seven.
Markiplier
I think it's still technically there. Mama said something, you know. You don't know. I like it seven. We've just jumped a bunch.
Bob
Okay. Mama said life's like chocolates. Choose wisely.
Markiplier
Mama said life's like chocolates.
Bob
Oh, wait, is that seven? I did seven, didn't I? Ah, so close. Damn it. Why can't I count to six?
Wade
I think the longer ones are harder because, like, my brain's still also on the longer number.
Markiplier
I had. I had a short one. I don't know if it counts, but I was just gonna go. Mama love chocolates. I don't think it counts for the second part, but anyway. All right. Well done, Wade. You're. You're pulling away with it. All right, so we've been going for 30 minutes. I want to activate our sleeper bonus round for an experiment. If it works, it'll be good. If it doesn't, we'll go back to this one. We're going to do the opposite. I've got some short quotes here. I want you to add a word.
Wade
Oh, fuck.
Markiplier
Until it becomes unintelligible to the original meaning of the quote. Okay, Wade, you're going to go first. Your quote is from the Shining. The pivotal moment when he axes the door, sticks his face and goes, here's Johnny. Add a word.
Wade
Here I, Johnny am.
Bob
Oh, God, the.
Markiplier
Wait.
Wade
Did I add too many?
Bob
You added two words, but whatever.
Markiplier
Sure. Here I, Johnny am. Yep. I don't know if I can count that one, man.
Wade
What do you mean? It's very obvious and clear. You know who's there? It's Johnny.
Markiplier
He announced it. Here I, comma Johnny, comma am.
Wade
You know, me and my commas.
Markiplier
You love your commas. All right, Bob, are you gonna accept that? I'll. I'll accept it if you do.
Bob
That's fine. That's fine.
Markiplier
Give me five or more, I guess.
Bob
Here I am. I'm Johnny.
Markiplier
I like grammatically correct.
Bob
Well, if we're. If we're just making sure that we know who Johnny is in the seed. I just want to stick with that theme.
Markiplier
That is the crucial information. Who it is and where they are.
Wade
What was your quote again? What was it?
Bob
Here I am. I'm Johnny.
Wade
Here I am. I am Johnny.
Markiplier
All right, Six.
Bob
Johnny's here. In the hole in the door.
Markiplier
In the hole in the door.
Wade
8.
Markiplier
That's great.
Wade
Coming in the hole in the door.
Markiplier
Johnny is.
Wade
What are you talking.
Markiplier
The torch. Why did he talk like that?
Bob
Hey, he's unhinged. At this point in the movie, He's. He's fully crazy.
Markiplier
Was it coming in the hole in the door?
Bob
Yes.
Markiplier
Or. I Think it was nine? I'm pretty sure, Bob. If you accept that.
Wade
Yeah.
Bob
Look out. I'm coming through the door. It's me, Johnny. I got 11. That's 10.
Markiplier
Oh. 11. Look out. It's me coming through the door. It's Johnny. I counted 10, but it's still more. He got nine last time.
Bob
Oh, it might have been 10. I can't count for shit.
Markiplier
All right, Wade, do you have more in you? We're getting a little far, but I think maybe land it.
Wade
Entering through the hole in the door. It is I, your man, Johnny.
Markiplier
It is I. I love your commas. Your. Your friend, your man.
Bob
Your man, Johnny.
Markiplier
Your man, Johnny. Thirteen, technically. All right, Bob. Yours to lose.
Bob
Oh.
Wade
Whoa.
Bob
Hey, it worked. Look. Hole in the door.
Markiplier
Ah.
Bob
It's me, Johnny. I'm coming. 20.
Wade
Oh, wa. Jeez, it worked.
Markiplier
It's like Morty just.
Bob
Hitting the door.
Markiplier
I'm coming in. Whoa.
Bob
Look out.
Wade
What it.
Bob
I'm coming in. It's me, Johnny.
Markiplier
Oh, man. I think it was like 19 or 20 or something like that. Wait, I'm not sure what the number is, but got more.
Wade
Dear wife, Wendy Torrance, it is I, Jack Torrance, AKA Johnny, your husband, coming in through the hole in the door. I've got an axe and I've lost my mind.
Markiplier
Bah.
Bob
I don't know why, but this time I'm gonna start with the axe. Coming through the door. Just to give my. Get myself back in the scene. This is getting too silly. You will not guess what I just had to deal with with those fucking elevators. A hallway full of blood. What the shit? Anyways, babe, I'm here. It's me, Johnny.
Wade
I think.
Bob
Yeah. Are we still communicating the message of the original quote?
Wade
I don't know if the mood is the same, but, man, the message is clear.
Bob
Does it still need to be scary?
Markiplier
Because, wait, I'll leave it up to you. If that feels in the same vein, I think I'm inclined to give it. Can you surpass? I don't even know what the count is anymore, but I think it was more than yours.
Wade
Oh, I've got this.
Markiplier
All right, I'm ready.
Wade
Wendy, I've been writing this book for what feels like months and getting nowhere. I'm losing my mind. It's been all work, no play, and I've not even gotten to talk to you.
Markiplier
It's me, Johnny.
Bob
Why are yours like voicemails.
Wade
If you need to call me back?
Markiplier
My number. Now, Wade, I would love to accept that, but you missed a crucial piece of information no. Where he was. You didn't say. You said, it's me, Johnny.
Wade
I did not.
Markiplier
You didn't say where Johnny was.
Wade
Johnny was writing. But where Johnny is.
Markiplier
Where Johnny is. I think we lost it. Which means Wendy has no spatial recognition.
Wade
She can't see me and. No, I'm there.
Markiplier
She's around the corner.
Bob
She doesn't even see him. She doesn't see him. She's up on the wall. He could be. He could be here. He could be there.
Wade
Damn it, I forgot it. Is I holding the ax that you see? Any kind of clarification would be great.
Markiplier
Okay. In the. In the essence of trying to keep these episodes just a smidge shorter, I am going to call it. There. That was very fun, but well done, guys. That was very funny.
Bob
I like. I think I like making them longer. I think that's an excellent twist.
Markiplier
That's good. Again, Amy had that idea.
Bob
I was about to have quite the story for. For Wendy as to how. How I arrived at the bathroom and why it was me, Johnny, who was there.
Markiplier
Look, I could do another one. I mean, I've got such a huge list, but if you want to.
Bob
Oh, we should just play this again. I like this game a lot. It's a fun game.
Wade
Cool.
Markiplier
We'll do this one more time, and we'll mix it up with shorter. We'll do like a shorter and then a longer and. Or two shorters. Longer. We'll play it up like that.
Bob
Okay.
Markiplier
We have to go out there because busy stuff happening, you know, as always. But pretty soon here. And then, obviously with Christmas break, I think this year is the first time we're actually going to take a little time off. Right?
Bob
Yep.
Markiplier
Do you know when we're doing that?
Bob
December 26, December 29 and January 2 are going to be the dates that we will not have episodes. So that is the day after Christmas, the Monday between Christmas and New Year's, and then the day after New Year's. So we're basically taking, like, almost two weeks off there. But then January 5th, which is a Monday, we shall be back.
Markiplier
Yeah. Just so everyone knows. So there will be a small gap in episodes over the Christmas break. It will be necessary because all these editors have been overworked in terms of getting these episodes out last minute. So big push to our editors, and thank you so much to all our listeners. But to wrap this episode up, the points are as follows. Bob, the moving wormholes. You got a point for that? USB standards/printer woes. Talking about that with me. You got the Mom. Bestie. And you got. Here's Johnny in the game. Wade, you got lemming around. Can you do that? The sound you made before. Yeah. Lemon round. Which part?
Wade
Love you.
Markiplier
In response to Bob saying, that doesn't sound like your mom. Very funny. So adultery I thought was very funny. I give you a bonus point for that. In addition to winning Mrs. Robin. Why did I write Mrs. Robin Hood?
Bob
Close enough.
Markiplier
Yeah, close enough. And then chocolates. So you are going into the final round with five points. So it is four to five, Bob. Wade. Wade is in the lead with one.
Bob
I would say you could add, like, quoted the most, like movies or tv, but I don't know that we do that that much.
Markiplier
Let's do something a little out there. Let's say sneezed this episode. Let's say sneezed the most. Just in case more than one person sneezed.
Wade
Gotta start keeping some pepper by my desk.
Bob
Yeah, you gotta get. Just make sure you get those sneezes in there.
Markiplier
All right.
Bob
But before we spin the fun wheel, we have to spin the wheel that usually lands on three. Don't be. No.
Markiplier
And it's three.
Bob
It's almost usually three.
Markiplier
You think the developers of this website know that we're using it and they weight your wheels in particular, they're fans.
Bob
And they're just like, in here manipulating it, like. Yeah, he's got the wheel up. Let's see. Let's make something funny happen.
Wade
I hope so.
Bob
Spin one of one. Best million dollar idea. I had the million dollar idea of letting all other forms of USB die and just letting everyone commit to using USB.
Wade
C. I contributed no financial ideas whatsoever.
Markiplier
That is technically. Bob is correct in terms of the USB industry. Must be a million. At least. A million dollar industry.
Bob
I didn't pitch it as a million dollar idea, but I think that would be a million dollar idea. And I think everyone would really love whoever made that happen.
Wade
Plus, that ties it up with two spins to go, which is scary for Mark. Let's do it.
Markiplier
All right. No, no, no. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. Plus one to Bob.
Bob
All right. Spin two of three.
Wade
One of one, two of three. Can't we just do a three time?
Bob
My ass.
Markiplier
Hey, there we go. Bob Got it.
Bob
Just to say my ass.
Wade
You said it twice.
Markiplier
That is. That is what it is. And I. I knew we had some options that were like, you have to say something as soon as it lands. That's why I've always been very attentive of what they are, because I've been waiting for it.
Bob
This is the first time that' I.
Wade
Didn'T even think about saying. I just thought about what it meant.
Markiplier
Whatever you do, don't get a point. Don't get a point.
Wade
Don't call it a comeback.
Bob
SPIN 3 of 5.
Wade
Oh, we're all in our normal locations.
Bob
Oh, we're all in our normal offices.
Markiplier
I mean, technically, Bob's a different.
Bob
But I mean, this is my new. This is where I will always be.
Markiplier
We'll respin this one.
Bob
Spin four or five. Got big slap.
Markiplier
Oh, man. You guys have made me.
Bob
It was pretty funny.
Markiplier
It was pretty good. I did.
Wade
Adultery was my best moment. Which is a weird thing to say out loud.
Markiplier
I was about to go, no, that wasn't the funniest moment.
Bob
Is that really the one you were gonna say?
Markiplier
Yeah, because I gave an extra point for it.
Bob
You did give a bonus point to that.
Markiplier
There was one point where I actually like, like hit the table laughing. But I. I can't remember if it was that or in the small talk.
Wade
I don't remember. I just know if my best moment was so adultery. I don't know if I don't what Bob's best is, but that was my best.
Bob
There was a pretty good laugh because Kiss Wade was like. And mom said I love or says I love you. And I was like, I know your mom doesn't say that. And technically Wade kind of got the laugh. But that was my joke, I think.
Markiplier
Yeah, I think it does go to Wade, which is. Puts us in a precarious situation. Us all in a precarious situation. Because that means it's six to six.
Wade
Oh, God. We have to hope that we don't have time to build a one man show. I have to hope against this on it now.
Markiplier
All right, well, this is what. Don't worry, it won't be that we're going to the tiewheel.
Wade
What are the odds?
Bob
Hey, Wade. I sent you a chat. Just between you and me in the. In the recording chat.
Markiplier
Oh, no.
Bob
So it needs to be Bob and Wade. Oh, that reset it. Fuck you, you fucking thing. It was like 67, I want to say.
Wade
Yeah, six, seven.
Markiplier
It was more than that for sure, because the last thing added a bunch. I think it was about there, like 81 before. And then we add 6%.
Bob
This is. Yeah, well, this is degrees, right? So 6 degrees is like a couple percent.
Markiplier
No. Yeah, we add 2% each time, but that translates to a different number. Oh, why have we not written this down? Why is it in 360 degree weights.
Wade
I think early. I think low 80s. Sounds right.
Markiplier
I think. Yeah. And then we add from here, so I think it starts at 81 ish.
Bob
And then we add 2% of 360 is 7.2. So like I. If I add 7 degrees. Yeah, that should be about the right weight.
Markiplier
Make it an even 90 just to just. So any naysayers out there can't really say we're cheating anything. So that's a 1/4 chance now.
Bob
Good grief.
Markiplier
No way. Watch this. I'm gonna close my eyes.
Wade
Oh, no. Still spinning.
Bob
Yeah.
Markiplier
All right. Congratulations, Bob. I didn't see how close it was. Don't tell me. Tie winner, Bob.
Bob
Way to go, Bob.
Markiplier
Way to go. Big win towards there. Coming from behind to get the tie and the bonus points. And then the tie wheel made you the victor. Congratulations. Beautiful winner speech.
Bob
Oh, it's a great time to be Bob. I thought I. This was a fun game. I like this game. Wade did really well today and kind of spanked me at the actual game. But who needs to win a thing to get the episode win? I don't need to beat Wade to beat him. I'll just win. That's what I like to do. I just like leave it up to chase chance. I've never been screwed over by a wheel or a coin flip. I prefer to leave things up to chance. That's the way I live my life. So I got what I deserved on this one. And I expect I will continue to get exactly what I deserve as time goes on and I have nothing but happy thoughts and lovely memories of all the times I've won and not been at all screwed over by wheel spins and other games of chance. So I love it. Just great. Just great.
Markiplier
Great.
Bob
I love it.
Markiplier
All right, well said. Loser speech.
Wade
It was hard fought. I gave it my all. I got the biggest laugh according to the points, but it just wasn't quite enough to overcome Bob's wheel luck. I'm sad about it, I'm upset about it, I'm depressed about it. And I'm gonna need some. Some help from you boys to get over this. So. Adultery.
Bob
For listeners who are not watching the podcast, Wade just pulled a cigar from somewhere off screen and now the cigar won't go out. It's a fake cigar. And God knows the last time you put that thing in your mouth, I can only imagine how it smells.
Wade
I just opened it.
Bob
You open it for that bit.
Markiplier
The odor. The odorers out there are reeling. Their cars are swerving all over the road.
Wade
It's supposed to go off when your tongue's not on it. I'm a little concerned.
Markiplier
All right, well, thank you, everybody so much for joining this podcast. We are going to be on vacation, but not just yet. We've got another couple episodes before then. But so, you know, the 26, the whatevers, and the second we're not going to be here.
Bob
Those are the ones. 26, 29. And the second. Those are the ones.
Wade
I can't believe it's December whatevers already.
Markiplier
Wake up, wake up. It's whatever's day.
Bob
It's the whatevers of March. Oh, no.
Wade
Beware the what Timers of March.
Markiplier
All right, well, thank you. Be sure to follow the podcast. And then next year.
Wade
Oh, boy.
Markiplier
Howdy. Are we gonna hit you with the content or something?
Bob
I don't know.
Markiplier
Anyway, bobblehost, next one. I've been your host for this one. Wade's been your loser for this one. May he have luck in the next podcast out.

Distractible – “Size Matters (Part 2)” – Dec 15, 2025
Episode Overview
In this episode, Markiplier (Mark Fischbach) hosts “Size Matters (Part 2)” with co-hosts Bob Muyskens and Wade Barnes. The trio continues their tradition of playful competition, witty banter, and absurd challenges—this time, focusing on a game where they must successively shorten (or later, lengthen) iconic movie quotes while retaining, then losing, their intended meaning. Along the way, they share amusing life updates, commiserate over technology woes, and debate the perils of modern home improvement.
[05:58–11:19]
[13:57–18:13]
[19:24–29:32]
Mark introduces the central game:
[29:32–34:42]
Mark flips the prior challenge: now, add a word each turn to a short quote, seeing who can go farthest before the phrase loses all resemblance to the original.
[35:44–44:12]
[35:55–36:21, 44:24–45:11]
| Timestamp | Segment/Highlight | |----------------|----------------------------------------| | 05:58–07:46 | Wade’s rug replacement story | | 11:32–13:26 | Bob’s moving & “wormhole” anecdotes | | 13:57–18:13 | Tech/USB/printer rants | | 19:24–29:32 | Main “shorten the quote” game | | 29:32–34:42 | Reverse/lengthening quote game | | 35:44–37:55 | Points, spin wheels, and award debate | | 43:31–44:20 | Winner/loser speeches & final bits | | 35:55, 44:24 | Holiday break schedule/announcements |
True to Distractible’s flavor, the episode is a whirlwind of self-deprecating humor, improvisational “what if” storytelling, and escalating, surreal riffing on everyday annoyances. The dynamic is deeply friendly and teasing—Mark as the chaotic moderator, Wade the earnest “guy having a week,” and Bob as the sly contrarian.
“Size Matters (Part 2)” delivers exactly what Distractible fans expect—irreverent games, chaotic life stories, and the sense that you’re eavesdropping on a trio of old friends trying to make each other laugh, one up each other, and—sometimes—turn a mundane phrase into something unexpectedly profound (or just very, very silly).
