In short

Distractable returns with “Wade’s One Man Show,” where Worldly Wade runs a one-person tier list ranking various styrofoam objects and the sounds they make (e.g., cup, hat, cat, toilet, couch, car, bunny, “Kony”/food packaging, broken/thick styrofoam, and a “nuke” that’s actually styrofoam clouds). The episode also includes a scripted “Wade’s big philosophy funnies” segment with jokes about Sartre, Descartes, behaviorism, and rhetorical-question punchlines, plus ongoing bit about a persistent spit drop on Wade’s lens.

Key claims

“Lemonati” lemon propaganda vs 7up’s lime-lemon soda; worms can eat styrofoam and could prevent styrofoam buildup.

Notable examples

“cat” placed D-tier after scratching/meowing-like sounds; thick styrofoam “bane” ranked bottom D-tier; styrofoam cloud art ranked S-tier.

Guests

Bob and Monday Mark (co-hosts) plus editor/production presence; no external guests.

Transcript

0:00For decades, a shadowy organization called the Lemonati has kept lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Look around, lemon forward sodas, even lemon forward songs. We ran the tracks, slowed them down, reversed them and squeezed out the truth.

0:19That's lemon propaganda right there. But now 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Join the 7up rising. Flip the sip. Fall has never looked or tasted this good. Sweetgreen's fall harvest menu is back with seasonal favorites dressed to impress and made to be devoured. Warm roasted sweet potatoes, crisp apples, maple glazed Brussels and crave worthy flavors in the autumn harvest bowl, maple glazed salmon plate and roasted bacon Brussels side. The season's most desirable menu has returned to Sweetgreen featuring fall's best dressed. Make your move. Order on the Sweetgreen app. This episode is brought to you by State Farm.

1:03Listening to this podcast instead of doom scrolling? Smart move. Another smart move? Getting help from one of State Farm's 19 ,000 local agents when you choose to bundle home and auto. Bundling. Just another way to save with the personal price plan. Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state. Warning. This episode contains harsh noises that may be unsettling to those with sensitive hearing. And wait. Listener discretion is advised. Ba-ba-ba-ba-bald. That is all.

1:40Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractable. This episode, the coming Bob and Monday Mark put their pal through his paces, bringing white smiles to his brother's faces as Worldly Wade takes on the trials, grating strange unrighteous sounds, chewing small nuts and identifying cats, tonguing foam and surviving abject oral torture. From spittle cam to saute stand-up yes! It's time for Wade's One Man Show. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.

2:27Mark Fischbach:Come with me and you'll be in a world of bald imagination. Take a look and you'll see your reflection. If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. subreddit defend me do it wanna rig the game there's nothing to it wade finishes his song early and suddenly looks scared am i not supposed to read that part out loud no you can yeah read my love you're good oh still me is this still a song i don't know the song but first step into my mind for a world first view of my thoughts during literally every recording of distractible ever. I should have read parenthetical singing in some of these, I guess.

3:23Mark Fischbach:Yeah, you probably should have, man. This is the not singing one. The next one's singing again. Oh, good, good, good. Whoa, I can't believe where I am. Editors, recreate the tunnel of terror from Willy Wonka, 1971. Is this still from the song? I sang all the parts I know from the song.

3:38Ethan Nestor:It sings songy, but it's kind of spoken. You don't know this song? I've not seen Willy Wonka since I was like eight. Okay, alright.

3:44Mark Fischbach:Alright, alright. Directors cutting in. Knowing. I didn't knowing. I didn't know how to hear you going. I didn't know any. Okay. All right. Yeah, I'll probably do it like that. There's no earthly way of knowing which direction they are going. There's no knowing whose points are growing. Hope my bald head isn't glowing. Is it raining? Is it snowing? Why my hunger is a-growing! Blech.

4:24Mark Fischbach:Uh oh, now their words are slowing. So the danger must be growing. Are the fires of hell aglowing? Is my turn here without me knowing? Yes! The danger must be growing. The conversation keeps on slowing. And they're certainly not showing the signs that they'll keep going. quite right sir i am bald oh there's more yeah that's not it there's more yeah oh man wow what a great tunnel that was parenthetical singing for this uh nope no you're done singing and that's how i keep on winning welcome to distractible boys and uh uh welcome boys I said go go go go go go go go go go go go! Is it hot in here or am I just bald?

5:17Mark Fischbach:Anyway, uh, very pleasant evening to all the gentlemen and the uh, the, the, the uh, Vaginaed people out there! Whew, that was a close one. Oh, looks like I got some sweat on my lens. Oh well, I don't need to clean that. Ever. Just like the drop of spit I spat into the lens three months ago and has been there in every episode since. I can see it. That's that's true. This is not a joke. This is real Sam Our editor has been laughing at the same drop of spit that's been on my lens for the past 24 episodes And I've just never bothered to clean it or notice. Oh, I've noticed. Ha ha ha ha ha Good thing.

5:52Mark Fischbach:That's not embarrassing. You've noticed it. You've never cleaned it Sam told me about it recently and he was like, it's funny that Sam thinks there's only one wait Sam He has the exact moment the spit landed on your lens that's been in every episode since that he's noticed So play play the moment when he spits it Throw shit, they throw feces the feces blocks up my pipe they come back up It's like oh somehow the shit's got in your air conditioning, you know, this is your fault, sir You gotta replace the whole fucking thing. How does shit get the AC unit? I don't know cuz I guess this wrench is actually a screwdriver is actually a power drill which is I we don't know anything Funny thing about the the tunnel of terror there actually is a moment where he just he's like

6:41Mark Fischbach:I watched it to try to write down. I've not seen it since I was so young. I remembered like the first part. I remember the tunnel, but I do not remember the cadence of any of that. It's a, they literally cut a chicken head, head off a chicken in that scene. I forgot that that is actually just there. They do? Yeah. That's pretty hardcore. Great, uh, great intro. Well, well written. I was, I was the, the, the gulp was not an action. It was actually dialogue, so it should have been Gulp! And then Gulp!

7:12Ethan Nestor:It's okay, they'll fix it. Sam will fix it.

7:14Mark Fischbach:Take it away. Start the show! Hey everyone, welcome back. I had a horrible misfortune of having these two tie last time. At least the last time we recorded a real episode. It's been a minute since you guys have seen us fresh. We're fresh. And after a nice break, we're coming back and I don't know how to intro this because I don't know what the hell's happening. I don't know if we're doing being punished. I don't know. Maybe it's already over.

7:38Ethan Nestor:Who says you're being punished? Here, I'll give you a hint.

7:41Mark Fischbach:I love tier lists.

7:43Ethan Nestor:Oh yeah. No, you're going to love this tier list. Is Wade's secret tier list a cannoli? These images at the bottom, that's what you're tier listing.

7:52Mark Fischbach:It's so small. Okay. Hang on. Let me, I got to maximize this to see my eyes aren't good. Yeah. I would make the screen bigger probably so you can see it. I don't know what the first picture is. I'm guessing some kind of food or centipede. Then we got green drugs, a praying a mantis a toilet a couch made of is that stuff is this is this all fucking styrofoam i want to play a game in front of you you'll see various forms of styrofoam all of which you will have to listen and review if you want to survive rate them fairly and honestly and don't worry we will play the sound again for you if you didn't catch it the first time so that you can give the The most thorough review possible.

8:32There is no way out of it. You can't complete your one-man show unless you review all of the styrofoam in front of you. You could always quit. Abstong the podcast. Lose your status as the third of three equal members, plus the fourth. But if you leave, just remember, the subreddit will never defend you again. and we will simply find someone else who is even more bald and even more weight than you. Good luck. Have fun. And don't worry about a time limit. We'll be here as long as you need. That's what friends are for.

9:10Mark Fischbach:This is bullshit. That was such good timing, Bob. That was so good. We played that solo. That's what I was hoping would happen. Oh my god, that was so good. The first three images gave me no indication. I was like, wait, that toilet looks weird. That couch looks weird. Why is that cat covered in, oh no.

9:26Ethan Nestor:Not only do you get to look at the visuals to rate these, they have accompanying sounds. And you know what, buddy? Since it's your show, we could start wherever you like. Which one you want to rate first?

9:38Mark Fischbach:I'm trying to figure out what even some of the images are. Do I get clarification on that before the sounds if I have questions?

9:42Ethan Nestor:I'll tell you the name of it right before I push the button to play the sound of it. We don't need the sound of the cooler.

9:48Mark Fischbach:The cooler's D tier. I don't want that one. Cooler first. You got it, buddy.

9:56Mark Fischbach:Oh, why is there more? Yeah, yeah, gone. Get rid of that. I don't know if he got that. Wait, let me just make sure.

10:03Ethan Nestor:Is the level okay on that? Because I can make it louder.

10:06Mark Fischbach:No, it doesn't need to be louder. It was so loud. In fact, you could turn it down. Yeah, a little up, actually. That was good. It was a little quiet on my end.

10:13Ethan Nestor:Are you sure this belongs in D tier? Yeah. I don't know. We got a long way to go, man. There's a lot of...

10:19Mark Fischbach:I'm thankful that that sound is actually like just on the cusp. It's not quite the one.

10:24Ethan Nestor:Yeah, well, that's definitely the worst one here. Don't worry about it.

10:27Mark Fischbach:I mean, I can usually drink out of styrofoam cups, so I guess we could put that in. Well, well, before you rate it, you gotta hear it. You can't. You have selected cup. That's not a cup noise.

10:40Ethan Nestor:Who does that with their cup? What is that? It's sliding around the table. It doesn't make a sound when you touch it to your mouth. It makes a sound when you... Yeah, no shit.

10:48Mark Fischbach:That's why it's okay, usually. A cup can go A, I guess. A tier? Bold choice. Does that mean I like it, or does that mean it's better than the others? It means it's A tier. Okay, I want to get this one out of the way. The very last image, the broken, thick styrofoam, that is my absolute fucking bane. Thick styrofoam is the worst. All right, you've chosen the break.

11:11Mark Fischbach:Okay, that one's okay. That noise is okay. That sounds different than I remember. Wait. Ah, that's not so bad. Yeah, that sound is fine. Wait, make it louder. Let me hear it. I want to make sure we're getting in the fair. Yeah. Here, let me just do it like this.

11:30Mark Fischbach:Oh, there's a little more subtlety in it than, yeah, okay. Yeah, it still doesn't, it's like the breaking noise rather than the rubbing noise. So it's okay. I don't know where I want to rank that yet. Because like the image, D tier, the sound that you actually just played of it breaking, not bad. That's an S tier sound compared to the rest.

11:46Ethan Nestor:Okay, well, we can come back and listen to that more later. Once you've heard some of the other ones Let's do the third to last The ball

11:53Mark Fischbach:Big ball shouldn't be bad Yeah it's probably fine What are they doing to it? They're rolling and squishing it like this Okay The sound itself wasn't I'll give that a B B for ball Do the hat I hate the thoughts of one of those on my head Let's just get it over with Hat you got it buddy Oh that's a good one

12:22Ethan Nestor:Just imagine that sound coming right off Where it's touching your head

12:25Mark Fischbach:Yeah cause it's like it's on your head and you're doing a stylus Like draw your finger around the brim Like I don't know if it shows man but I've had goosebumps Since we fucking started this It's killing me Put the hat in D tier Styrofoam hat is the worst fucking invention

12:41Ethan Nestor:It sounds delightful it's insulative So it can be stylish and to keep you warmer or cooler. Probably mostly warmer, I guess. Do the hand holding the little balls. Little balls shouldn't be bad, right? Oh, the small nuts. It's like the hand and then you squish them.

Read the full transcript

12:58Mark Fischbach:You know? Thankfully no squeak. Not good noise, but no squeak. I guess toss those in B as well. Okay, you don't have to keep doing it. Sorry, which one? That was really loud. Toss those in B. B. Just get them out of here. Let's do the cat. Cat noise can't be bad. It's just a cat. Cat with styrofoam on it.

13:16Ethan Nestor:Oh, no. I labeled one of them twice. That's fine. Oh, no. I'm pretty sure. Well, you know what? It sounds probably like the small nuts. But, like, imagine there's, like, a meowing. It's a cat. You can't put it low. You love cats. Just think about Keters. And then think about Meow.

13:35Mark Fischbach:Okay. Here, Bob, just out of fairness, let me give you one more just so you can be sure to have it. I want to make sure you get a fair judgment on this.

13:44Ethan Nestor:Alright, here you go. Here's your first one. Is this one a cat?

13:53Mark Fischbach:There's no cat. Oh, that's like a fucking windshield wiper. That's F tier. Make an F tier for that. Is this one a cat?

14:06Ethan Nestor:It's a minute long. Dude, I can't. I can't do that for a minute. Well, you just gotta say which one's a cat. Was that one the cat? Or was it this one? Ooh. That's harsh.

14:24Mark Fischbach:Stop. Yeah, that's a cat. Scratching it. Fuck cats. D tier. Are you sure? All those sounds are D tier. F tier. Stop. I heard it. Yep. That's the bottom tier. Well, maybe it's the one that I said was laughter. Look, I sent you a file that says laughter. Was this a cat?

14:46Mark Fischbach:That's a funny cat. That's a hilarious cat right there. Yeah, the cat's D-tier. You know, the cat, the ball noise, cat was gonna go up there. Those, no, cat's fucking D-tier. I never wanna hear those again. Cat, bottom tier.

14:57Ethan Nestor:Cat D-tier. You got it, buddy. The Lemonati has spent decades keeping lemon on top and lime in the shadows. Their lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music. That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up. Flip the sip. Brussels clean up nicely at Sweetgreen. Maple glazed, roasted, and edges perfectly caramelized. Sweetgreen's fall harvest is back on the menu And the season's most overlooked Little green vegetable is dressed to be devoured You know what to do Order on the Sweetgreen app Is that a bathtub?

15:52Ethan Nestor:No that's like um Like computer packaging It's like the thing Oh that's awful

15:57Mark Fischbach:Yeah do it get out of the way I hate that shit I have to have someone else get my computers and stuff out My parents had to unbox my toys for me

16:09Mark Fischbach:Thank god, no squeak. Yep, um, you know what? C tier. It didn't get the squeak in so C tier. And he's really he's really all about the squeaks. Like I don't like styrofoam the feeling of it and then the squeak that it makes the crunchy I can live with. Did you know if you imagine yourself licking anything you can vividly tell what the texture is? I'm just like think of your tongue running. I'm not listening to you. I can't. I can't picture that, man.

16:34Ethan Nestor:I looked for so long for pictures of people eating styrofoam. I'm not even lying. It turns out nobody likes to eat styrofoam. I couldn't find a picture of a person eating styrofoam, Wade.

16:46Mark Fischbach:Thank God, Vin. I would have thrown up on camera. Which is why I have a bucket of styrofoam right here. There's no way. There's no fucking way

16:55Ethan Nestor:This one I called Poop That's it, it's just a short sound I'll play it a little, play it some more for you D, D D, got it, okay, you sure? Yeah, um, I guess let's do the first one The weird, oh I like that one That one's got an interesting story What is it? So it's worms But it's a species of super worm That actually subsists On styrofoam The scientific researcher who I don't know if she bred them or discovered I think she bred them But she has a lab And when you walk into her lab There's this insanely loud sound Of all of her thousands and thousands of worms Just crunching their way through styrofoam And as far as I know It sounds something like this

17:48Ethan Nestor:They're just the coolest the coolest little worms and they just dig they tunnel through it now you want to talk about eating styrofoam those bugs love eating styrofoam they're mostly made of styrofoam yeah more d all right d tier oh do you want to sort the tier should we go back and revisit some of these sounds so you could say which one's higher or lower within the tier or should we save that oh man

18:12Mark Fischbach:let me tell you last three or f tier of d tier perfectly perfectly sorted okay perfect Got it. Okay. Whatever the first... Is that peanuts? Is the first one peanuts? Oh, yeah, those are regular nuts. Dude, that's what my friend used to fucking chew on. I can't. Okay.

18:29Ethan Nestor:This is kind of the sound of chewing on them, so you have to imagine they're in your mouth and you're hearing this from inside your own head, right?

18:35Mark Fischbach:Mm-hmm.

18:36Ethan Nestor:Yeah. So you're like...

18:40Mark Fischbach:It's pretty... Um, we don't have an S. You're right. Those are D tier. Oh, my... But we're indeed here.

18:48Ethan Nestor:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here, try again. Try again. Where do they go?

18:53Ethan Nestor:Yeah, okay. You think that's right? Between the cat and the poop? Perfect. Oh, let's just go in order, man.

18:58Mark Fischbach:Do the fucking praying mantis or whatever that is.

19:00Ethan Nestor:Oh, that's Pennywise carved out of styrofoam. This one's more... Oh, it is. This one's sort of how I think it would sound. It doesn't actually make a sound, but this is kind of how I think that would sound.

19:10Mark Fischbach:Please just be Bill Skarsgård.

19:16Ethan Nestor:we all float down here am i right that's kind of how i imagined the the like death light would feel in your ears when it's happening to you because that's not how it sounds in the movies and stuff

19:28Mark Fischbach:obviously but i think that's a solid d tier uh right right below uh the peanuts yeah some of these we had to take some creative liberty on because you know kind of hard to find a sound

19:38Ethan Nestor:that is exactly really good so uh toilet next toilet next oh you got it buddy so you have to imagine this is coming from your own butt while you're sitting on it or maybe you're wiping so

19:52Mark Fischbach:you're like shifting your weight you know you know we'll toss that and see hang on i have a i have a noise for this that might actually apply i just found it it's uh uh well you know i'll just

20:05Ethan Nestor:i'll let bob play it here you go wade maybe this is the toilet just maybe you want to change your ranking.

20:12Mark Fischbach:I didn't like that. Oh, more. Supposedly, that's spraying styrofoam with water. I don't know why it was so

20:23Ethan Nestor:pulsile. It's like the tiniest little squirt bottle. They're just like kink. Does that make you want to rethink your D tier? No, I don't want to revisit

20:33Mark Fischbach:D tier anymore because I'm afraid you're going to make me listen to it. So that's C tier. Toilet is C tier. Above or below the packaging? Above. Packaging would be much worse probably Uh I guess couch before the Styrofoam nuclear warhead Couch it is

20:50Ethan Nestor:Again you're kind of sitting on it right It's sort of Maybe you have your arm up on the back I wouldn't You know it makes your hair stand on end because it's kind of staticky Or maybe you're watching the game The bangles just lost again So you're sort of sinking into it in sadness

21:06Mark Fischbach:Yeah we can assume a couch which is solid. You know when you get out of the shower and you don't towel off and you just decide to, oh, not a styrofoam couch, and just kind of rub your arms all over it and you make little styrofoam angels? Yeah, we can just toss it in deeth here and call it a day. It can be below the hat. Below the hat.

21:23Ethan Nestor:All right. All right, nuke. Nuke. Oh, that's not a nuke. Whoa, that's not a nuke. Those are clouds. It's an art exhibit made of styrofoam where the clouds actually undulate, so they're on articulated mounts. It's actually really beautiful. Sounds like this

21:42Ethan Nestor:But you have to yeah so you walk in the room And they're kind of up high and they It's like a you know it's like a Three dimensional it's very cool It's very pretty and there's lighting There's lighting behind I love art I never have to go to a museum to look at it

21:55Mark Fischbach:So put it in S tier

21:56Ethan Nestor:You could just close your eyes and really just imagine the styrofoam On the ceiling and you're right

22:02Mark Fischbach:Beautiful toss it in S tier So I can never have to go see it again

22:05Ethan Nestor:Oh yeah face yeah it's just a quick one it's like you're taking it out of the box right and you sort of like you finally get a hold of it and you're like yeah yeah bottom of seats here

22:17Mark Fischbach:I have a I actually maybe have another option for this if you were if you were oh interesting oh definitely not interesting interesting in it I have to buy this it's such it's so good spend the money spend it I found the sound of someone chewing on Syrophobe, I found it. Please no. Come on, buy it. It's not letting me buy it. You're lucky. I mean, I'm sorry. Yeah, man. Next time you get a one-man show, I'm just gonna show a bunch of fucking holes for an hour. The Lemonati has spent decades keeping Lemon on top and Lime in the shadows. Their Lemon agenda has infiltrated everything, even our music.

23:03That hit song named after the color of lemons? Not a coincidence. Big Lemon has been pulling strings in the industry for years. Think about it. But now, 7up is fighting back with their new lime lemon soda. Now lime comes first. 7up, flip the sip. Fall has never looked or tasted this good. Sweetgreen's fall harvest menu is back. With seasonal favorites dressed to impress and made to be devoured. Warm roasted sweet potatoes, crisp apples, maple glazed Brussels, and crave worthy flavors in the autumn harvest bowl, maple glazed salmon plate, and roasted bacon Brussels side. The season's most desirable menu has returned to Sweetgreen, featuring fall's best dressed.

23:51Make your move. Order on the Sweetgreen app.

23:54Ethan Nestor:What sound should we listen to next? Is that a baby made out of styrofoam? Oh, it's a bunny. Sorry, it's a bunny rabbit.

24:01Mark Fischbach:Oh, you know, we built it up. Let's get it out of the way. Bunny next. I really hate the one that comes after, and that's the one that scared me the most since we started, so I hope it's chill. No, it'll be fine. Yeah, let's do the bunny. You know, thankfully the sound for this one almost sounds more like whenever you're cleaning glass with, like, Windex or, like, a mirror.

24:18Ethan Nestor:Yeah, it kind of sounds like a squeaky bunny, but also it definitely is styrofoam. Imagine the bunny just hops right into your lap, and you start petting it, but it's all styrofoamy.

24:27Mark Fischbach:Okay, I was gonna say A tier, but you just said that out loud so it can go into B for bunny right where it's at So this next one wait, you don't know what this is. I I know but it's a car so The worst bit of this show is people still telling me to get a car. All right a car. What is that?

24:46Ethan Nestor:Well, it sounds like this Oh, oh that's crunchy That one's that one's in there trying to open the door of the styrofoam car Yeah, you realize it's not a functional car. You rip the door handle off and it like almost wants to squeak, but it doesn't go all the way there. It also kind of reminds me of the sound of like a car driving down a gravel driveway.

25:12Mark Fischbach:You know, is there a word for foreplay to torture? Is it just foreplay? Goreplay? Yeah, I feel like that's what this noise is. It's like it's not quite terrible, but like it gets you it gets you right there in the mood for pain.

25:24Ethan Nestor:You know what comes next.

25:26Mark Fischbach:Yeah, so car C, below the toilet

25:30Ethan Nestor:Surprised you didn't go S tier Because I know how badly you want to have a car

25:35Mark Fischbach:Not that bad Hey, if this one fell off the boat Like your other one, it would float So it would just come to you eventually You wouldn't have the same problem at all Mark is dead on with that Rather than fill it with concrete and let it fucking die You know, boats are made of styrofoam, right? Yeah You like boats They're not, are they?

25:53Ethan Nestor:No They're filled with styrofoam

25:55Mark Fischbach:man stop i don't want to think about that it's between the metal the truth or not it doesn't

26:00Ethan Nestor:make the sound unless you're on the water and the boat is floating because then it flexes and the two the two metal sides of the hull kind of like you're not really slow intense squeaking that you can get when you like just barely move styrofoam against you know surfaces you guys

26:15Mark Fischbach:really enjoy this bit you guys really really enjoy this bit you said it was a good bit everyone's enjoying this it's brilliant i think everyone's gonna hate you i hate you but it's brilliant i I did not see this coming. Uh, let's do the, the Kony crate.

26:27Ethan Nestor:Oh yeah. So you have to imagine you're eating hopefully your favorite food while, and this sound is happening also as part of the whole experience.

26:37Mark Fischbach:That's pretty actually legit. Also, whenever you like have it on a table and you have to like cut in it. Yeah.

26:43Ethan Nestor:Or like you have it in the car and you get home with it and you go to grab it and the box isn't quite lined up and it just like, you know, and then you have to squeeze harder and you're like, ah, not my Kony's. I'll save you conies.

26:55Mark Fischbach:Or when you're done with your conies and you pick up the pack, you're trying to lick all the goop off the inside. You're stretching it.

27:03Ethan Nestor:They got the special habanero cheese and you're like, oh, give me the extra cheese. Habanero cheese in my mouth.

27:10Mark Fischbach:I don't want it that bad. None of that. Or when your buddy ate your conies and you're picking up the empty canina and you're like, ooh, you're squeezing it. Okay, this is bottom of C tier. And honestly styrofoam cup goes down with it Because you guys are making me remember all the feelings of putting that on my lips So move cup back down No but then

27:30Ethan Nestor:We're not done until we have something in every tier You can't have an empty tier That's not how tier lists

27:34Mark Fischbach:Oh ball goes up to A Ball is pretty okay

27:39Ethan Nestor:Well let's hear the last one again We do have to put this one somewhere Okay this one was just crunched if I remember right Yeah that's not so bad It's not like this one Oh dude Mmm. This one's way better. Yeah. Oh, you know what's more realistic, though? In real life, if you were breaking such a big piece of styrofoam, I think it would sound like this.

28:03Ugh.

28:05Mark Fischbach:All together now! No, no, no, no.

28:09Ethan Nestor:How many buttons can you press at the same time on a stream deck? Mmm.

28:18Ethan Nestor:Oh, that's... Wow. anyway where does the breaking go the broken the the you know snapped piece dude it's been

28:27Mark Fischbach:the breaking part of it the actual snap doesn't bother me with those two pieces if someone grabbed them and started rubbing them together that has been what has plagued me my whole fucking life so that goes to the bottom of d tier because that image is one that haunts my nightmares ball ball a tier ball is life and we're done great job good show good bit fun like this is a really bottom

28:49Ethan Nestor:weighted tearless this is kind of negative today oh styrofoam is a bottom so it makes sense but

28:54Mark Fischbach:you know what's at the top art art's great love art art is good that's that's way it's s tier

29:01Ethan Nestor:styrofoam sound it's not the sound not the sound it's all part of it though the smell the sound the taste the texture they let they give you a piece you can chew on it or whatever you want

29:12Mark Fischbach:stick it in your pants it's art i can't believe there's worms that eat this shit those need to

29:17Ethan Nestor:be exterminated immediately no they're gonna save our lives they're going to consume all the excess you want the worms this is the sound you want to hear wade you because that's the sound of the worms eating all the styrofoam that's otherwise never going to degrade that's always going to just be laying around piling up styrofoam is going to choke out the world unless we can make

29:41Mark Fischbach:more worms like that all right then do it i guess i'll just get rid of it somehow all right we're

29:46Ethan Nestor:sending some to your house i'll send you a big big styrofoam box full of worms hopefully they're

29:51Mark Fischbach:still inside by the time it gets there it'll go with the rest of my boxes unopened and in the corner i'll find their way out don't you worry oh man what an episode good episode oh we're not done yet yeah we're not done yet what are you talking about okay i don't feel so good i feel good i know what'll help you reading another scripted bit oh fun don't worry buddy this one's this one's

30:16Ethan Nestor:Actually a little bit longer than what Mark had. It'll go fast. It'll go fast. I'm going to put the script in the chat and you can just read it from the chat. Wow, that looks long in that chat.

30:28Mark Fischbach:Jesus, I had to scroll for a minute there. Editors, we're fading into the interior of Distractable, whatever that means. Sorry, no other camera there.

30:58Ethan Nestor:Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming out tonight. We've got a great line of comedians for you, and we'll get to those right after this first guy. He's bald, he won't shut up about philosophy, and for some reason, he's here to perform for you right now. It's Wade! Woo! It's a little more enthusiastic than I was inspecting. There you go. That's accurate.

31:28Ethan Nestor:This is not in the script. I just want to put that out there. That was a good bit

31:34Mark Fischbach:of improv, Wade. I appreciate it. Like, fuck you guys. Fuck you all for watching and listening and fuck you two for putting this together. It's scripted do you not see this is it too hard to read the scripted part? I said I began my comedy routine which I did and then you guys had to talk shit And it says I'm an asshole, so I'm trying to be an asshole, which is I think what I'm doing

31:53Ethan Nestor:The part where it says Wade in in capitals. That's oh, you know what? This is too hard to read. I thought it would format it better than this This is too hard to read now that I'm saying send it to me

32:02Mark Fischbach:I'll put it in script format for I can read this part I was just doing my comedy routine and being an asshole here.

32:08Ethan Nestor:Wade. Can you open this link?

32:10Mark Fischbach:What happens when you click on that? I'm signing in with my Google account to something It's fine, it's fine I encountered an error Son of a bitch The only thing I see is fade in It's dark and stormy

32:23Ethan Nestor:Well, that's not it Here, I'm sending you the PDF The PDF finally happened I'm sending you the PDF Okay I really thought that would work better But, uh

32:30Mark Fischbach:Oh, I didn't know that you were supposed to read the other part So I'm glad that you broke the silence with that Because I didn't see the word Bob anyway

32:36Ethan Nestor:Yeah, I was I thought you were just letting it cook That's fine

32:39Mark Fischbach:What's up douchebags? That's right. It's time for Wade's big philosophy funnies How many of you idiots know what philosophy even is? Oh, do you know mark? Do you know? You know you dropped out of college Bob. Do you know all you were so smart? You were I went to law school where I practiced my law not at all and you guys out there What are you doing with your lives not doing anything productive because you're watching us?

33:01Ethan Nestor:You have to be antagonistic towards the show

33:03Mark Fischbach:Wrong, wrong, no, no, no, double no, idiot. Look at this guy, hair. Anyway, you're all stupid, so I'll just tell you. Philosophy is whatever someone smarter than you tells you what to believe. Since I'm clearly the smart one here, I'll just tell you all how to live. So Jean-Paul Sartre, I don't even know how to pronounce his fucking name because I'm also an idiot, is writing being and nothingness at a local cafe when the barista comes up and asks him if he wants anything. Sartre says, yes, I'd like a coffee, please. No milk. The barista responds, I'm sorry, monsieur. We're out of milk. Would you like it with no cream instead?

33:38Mark Fischbach:Don't you just love Jean-Paul Sartre? Jean-Paul!

33:42Ethan Nestor:No. Oh yeah, Mark, you have a line.

33:44Mark Fischbach:Say who? Who? Anyway, Descartes is sitting in a bar having a drink. The bartender asks him if he would like another. I think not, he says. And disappears. You guys don't get it because you're fucking stupid. What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

34:04Mark Fischbach:Two behaviorists have sex One turns to the other and says That was good for you, how was it for me? Oh, these are the jokes Is that philosophy? How many philosophers does it take to change a light bulb? Depends on how you define change Well, that's my time You're welcome for all the wisdom I just dropped Stay stupid

34:30Ethan Nestor:Alright, the script just says he has to decide when it's time to come back that he's supposed to just stay off camera until he thinks it's time to come back so we're free now well that was way shorter than i expected you guys uh complimenting my performance you think that was you think that was true to the script you think that was a long enough break there i thought you'd be gone for oh i thought it said i decide i didn't know what do you know what any of those jokes meant i didn't honestly i expected you to be able to pronounce yeah they're the french guy's name i don't think i ever read any art

35:01Mark Fischbach:sarté i don't i don't know i've never read any of his work i i finally got the rhetorical question one way too late that's great i had a rhetorical question what about the cart i think therefore i am and he says uh i don't think therefore he disappears because he's not since

35:15Ethan Nestor:he doesn't think what was the question dick heart he said i think therefore i am and then they asked her if he wants to be here he says i think not and then he isn't anymore because he doesn't

35:25Mark Fischbach:think oh he disappears i see i got it philosophers changing a light bulb but like the word change depends on what they do to the light bulb or how the light bulb okay do you know do you know what

35:37Ethan Nestor:behaviorists believe or what that do you know what that is i don't know that one but i really like the it was good for you was it good for me i think that's a hell of a line yeah i imagine

35:46Mark Fischbach:behaviorists focus on other people's behavior so like i'm they're probably like i don't know I've never studied behaviorism.

35:53Ethan Nestor:Do you know anything about philosophy? You're pretty rude about the whole thing, but what is knowing? It's when you know something and you could tell someone else what it is

36:01Mark Fischbach:See for me philosophy was more about learning to think than it was remembering stupid facts like facts get in the way I don't I think facts are knowledge I think you're talking about wisdom explains why you didn't get any of the humor

36:13Ethan Nestor:That's the only scripted bit. I have not a very good screenwriter

36:17Mark Fischbach:No, it was great. I loved it. I I enjoyed it I liked my intro with the coin and the cigar, and I liked my comedy philosophy jokes. I thought that was all great. Much better than the last bit with the noises and pictures. Ah, the noises. Okay, man. Why? Great show. Great episode. You guys did a good job. I apologize, Wade. I didn't write you an outro, so you're on your own. Oh, is this the outro time? Unless you got more show. I'm ready. I don't know. Bob, is this my outro time?

36:44Ethan Nestor:Would you like me to come up with something on the fly for you to do, or would you?

36:48Mark Fischbach:No, no. If you're good. I just want to make sure I have satisfied the requirements under one man showed constitutional law. Oh, good. I'll do an outro. Look at me. He he he. I just did all of that dumb shit. BALD! Hope you enjoyed. I was super toyed with. Thanks for watching Distractable. One of us probably won. I'm going to hand it over to these two now to determine who that was. Oh, well, you know, it's a tough choice. It was a real tough battle out there.

37:18Ethan Nestor:I think that, you know, I wrote down a lot of points and almost none of them were for Wade.

37:25Mark Fischbach:Yeah. Almost none. Who else could they be for?

37:29Ethan Nestor:I just said anyone who's not Wade on my scorecard. I don't know. I guess technically Wade has to win it though. Yeah. If we're going to follow our own made up rules that don't mean anything.

37:40Mark Fischbach:Yeah. I mean, it's his show. He's the only one competing. So congratulations, I guess, are in order. You did it. It's done. Your prize is a lifetime supply of packing peanuts going to be flooded by hose into your house Every window we've already tapped we've conquered your HVAC system We're going to be pumping it in from below and above that would actually be okay noises, sir. Oh Not that one

38:10Ethan Nestor:The fuck was that? That was the intro again

38:14Mark Fischbach:I think packing peanuts in the wind Like filling a house with packing Even a room would be the worst prank someone could pull on me Noted You guys want to give like a loser speech? Do I give a loser speech?

38:25Ethan Nestor:We didn't lose Who did? Me? I think everyone lost I definitely think there should be a styrofoam warning on the top of this episode I know you're not the only person who dislikes those sounds and there was a lot of that.

38:38Mark Fischbach:I'm thankful that most of those were relatively mild. There were a few that gave me the chills but most of them were relatively mild and I appreciate that. Try to keep it fun here, you know? Most cases worse than the actual noise. There were some bad noises. You got some bad ones. Well put. Good to see you boys. Glad it came back like this. Man, I've got so many ideas for the next episode. I still don't know which one I'm going to pick. So, stay tuned.

38:59Ethan Nestor:I guess one of us should do the outro, huh? To check out the follow the podcast and the merch But what did all that shit we usually say anyway people keep saying hey

39:08Mark Fischbach:Why don't we just stock more is like we have been each time we have stocked more than we did last time It's not a ploy you guys just buy it and so next time we'll order more where we're working on it

39:22Ethan Nestor:Should say there's Valentine's Day stuff coming that that no one is has not been public yet You should so see if that's there unless you catch it in the first hour it's probably sold out so you really got to be on top of it but okay bye podcast out watch new episodes on spotify fall has never looked or tasted this good sweet greens fall harvest menu is back with seasonal favorites dressed to impress and made to be devoured warm roasted sweet potatoes crisp apples maple glazed Brussels, and crave worthy flavors in the autumn harvest bowl, maple glazed salmon plate, and roasted bacon Brussels side.
