Chapter 1: What is this episode about?
From car-car cartoons to immobile pontiffs. Yes! It's time for a disgusting episode. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Distractible. That's right. You're listening to my favorite podcast. It's the only thing I listen to. My car, the shower, while I sleep. This is the only show I listen to. I'm... Wade, what are you laughing at? What's so funny?
I love the whole...
I was just thinking, you know, a thing that some people do before they speak out loud. Not you. I've never done that. I know. Anyway, if you've never seen the show before, I'm hosting because I won the last one, which means that I am hosting. See, this is why you think. This is why I need time to think, Wade. This is what happens.
I'm hosting, and Mark and Wade are competing to see who will host the next one. One of them will host the next one. Unless I win, which isn't technically impossible, but I don't think that's going to happen. You guys are on it today, right? How you doing? How are we feeling today?
Pretty good, Ben. Hey, question, guys. Does it look like I'm wearing a jacket and no shirt?
Yes. A little bit, yeah. Are you wearing like the deepest V in existence or what's going on?
Oh, there it is. I thought you were going for the Hugh Hefner today. I thought you just came in a robe with a hat.
But I just, I realized like I could technically just, I guess, show up in a jacket and no shirt and maybe no one would question it.

Chapter 2: What are the origins of the chainsaw?
In the time before cars, they still needed to cut emissions.
Yep, absolutely.
Because of industry.
I know, yeah. I said what I said. The way they designed shoestrings, those little plastic edges, really annoying to cut the plastic bits, so that was designed to cut through the plastic part of the shoelace so you'd have the little ends to tie your shoes.
I got it. I know what the answer is. So back in the early movie industry of the 1780s, they needed to cut footage, but it was, you know, film. So they had to have something that cut at 24 FPS. So they would crank it and it would chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
Similar to Mark's answer, but it was actually plays. When the director would yell cut, the Scottish accent was so pronounced and loud whenever they would talk that they couldn't hear the director yelling cut. So they got the chainsaw to make the...
noise which meant cut actually back in the 1780s uh well 1770s was a serious problem with cutting in line and there was no honor in it so they brought this out to cut whoever you were going to cut in line in half so it had to be a very it had to be urgent when people know that they got cut in half they're like oh well i guess he needed it and then they fall over and die
A prominent crop in Scotland is spring barley. Spring barley, incredibly difficult to cut without a chainsaw.
Did you Google that? Yes. Yeah, I was like, how the shit would you know that? That's not a thing you know.

Chapter 3: How was bubble wrap originally intended to be used?
I don't want to feel my wall anyway.
You're not- How often am I- I'm not touching my wall either! I don't know what you're doing, poop book guy! Maybe you see a good wall and you're like, I need to touch that! I'm gonna find this book, print out that page, get wallpaper made of it, and I'm gonna secretly go into your house and cover... I'm going to cover the outside with it.
I think some people on the subreddit are going to back me up about this, but it's only going to be like two or three. They'll be like, no, I've seen this version of the book.
No, wallpaper's coming back. Wallpaper might come back. I just don't want it. It is back. We're not... We're not the people who dictate that. It is back. There's lots of cool new wallpapers. That's the thing, too, is you don't need to wallpaper every square inch of a room. You can do like one wall or part of one wall if you have like an area that makes sense.
Do you guys like the accent wall thing?
I'm not big on the accent wall thing. What do you mean by accent wall? Where you have like three walls, one color and one different.
You mean having a nice design to a room so that there's like a focal point? It sounds awful, doesn't it? James's room has that. He has white walls, but then he has one. The main wall is green that his bed is on and it's like a jungly theme. But if the whole room was this color green, it'd be way too fucking much green.
There's a nice diagram that you can see about. It's mostly for set design, but it's for creating different space with just painted walls, where if you paint certain walls black and certain walls white or certain walls one color and then one complementary darker color, you can kind of shape the illusion of the space to have more depth or more height or shrink it down.
It's crazy how effective that is, especially in photography and on video. So like I wouldn't just say like accent walls are dumb and suck.

Good evening, gentle listener, or watcher, and welcome to Distractible. This episode, business-like Bob potty-trains James, shows Scott's brutality, and trials his troops to predict the providence of products.

From car-car cartoons to immobile pontiffs. Yes! It's time for a disgusting episode. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.

Chapter 8: What unique products are mentioned in this episode?
I mean, you didn't seem like you enjoyed it when you were trying to eat your giant hunk of Play-Doh, but you did fine.
It was incredibly salty. That was the only thing.
Just concerning because I feel like there shouldn't be salt in Play-Doh.
It might not have been salt. It just tasted salty. So who knows?
Maybe it's because you played with the Play-Doh so much. The salt from like your... No, it's just skin juices. Yeah. That's lovely. More inventions. I know you can get this one. The hint is in the name. Treadmill. We all know what treadmills are. Go to the gym. Do a little jog on the treadmill. Maybe you have a treadmill in the basement that you never use. Just sits in the corner collecting dust.
All right, Wade, you and I both know what the answer is. We're not going to say it. We got to get our bullshit jokey answers out.
Correct answer, put off. So that's, we know what treadmills are. But when William Cubitt invented the treadmill in England in 1818, what did he think it was going to be used for? Let me ask you a question, Bob.
You ever had a wart? Sure. I cut one off with toenail clippers and used like a pair of like needle nose pliers and yanked it out. Yeah, I hate that story. The treadmill, full speed, you just sand that thing right off. That's why it was infinite. Did you really do that?
He told that story on this podcast before. It was awful. Never came back. Because you did that and the wart was like, fuck this dude. Oh my god, I'd rather just stay dead.
