What personal struggles with burnout do the hosts share?
Good evening, gentle listeners or watchers, and welcome to Distractable, this episode Malefluent Mark finally gets his just rewards, has a blue bucket for blood, and has supply issues. Brainy Bob trainily cooks, lands cool tuition, and experiences excruciatingly harrowing explosive eruptions. White-whiskered Wade gets befuddled like Strake, demands lube, and opens up about his truly terrible trials. From cold opens to heartfelt hard truths. Yes, it's time for burnout. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show.
All right, ready? Fart noise. That was my mouth sound. I was making a fart noise as a sound of acquiescence. That's how I communicate with James. Sorry, I'm ready.
That's how I show your dominance. I assert your dominance. Welcome to Distractible.
Oh no, no, no, no, no. This is the show. Where we have a very concise, clean intro every time, and cold opens are a thing that are relegated to a Baldemort, who is way better at them than us as we are.
Did you emphasize bald more than usual in that name this time?
Are you just sensitive to it?
I really thought you were calling me a name. I feel like you were calling me his name, and I don't like that. Call me by my name.
Bald. Alright, I'm gonna give you a bald point. I'm particularly sensitive about that today, apparently. It's all right, man. It's all right, man. That's what this episode is going to be all about. Spoiler warning. What spoiler? I was trying to think of what the spoiler was, but then I realized it was a bit. Why don't we say to us what the episode's going to be before, you know, because the audience knows. Well, they don't know. Maybe they don't. Maybe the title's confusing. No, Baltimore gives a complete description of what's going to happen in really elegant ways, yeah.
But he says it in British words, which is confusing.
You're right. What a weirdo. Am I right, guys? Yeah, it's like a different language, so who knows? All right, I'm giving you a Baltimore point.
Make sure you emphasize the bald part. Baldermort. I feel dirty. Spent his name the whole time, dude.
He must always feel dirty.
How do the hosts use humor to cope with difficult topics?
What the hell? What the hell? His name's Baldemort. Please don't quit.
Please, yeah, please, please. Baldemort. Please.
Don't listen to Wade. He doesn't speak for us. Look, we both have bald going on. Does that mean you feel dirty all the time? What are you getting at?
Kind of, yeah. Sometimes, like, you have no hair to absorb the grease. It just kind of sits there. And then, like, you go to fry dinner on your head. It's like, all right, well, at least the grease is already in place, you know? You have to get like your little coffee can to like scrape it in because you don't want it to get in the sink or whatever.
I don't want to yes and you. I do not want to yes and you.
No, you have to yes and. That's the rules of the show. I am abstaining from this yes and. He's just highlighting one of the advantages that bald people have. When I cook dinner on my head, there's so many hairs in it, it's gross. Imagine scrambled eggs with this.
and how welcome to distractible we are uh the triumvirate of men a very unique perspective in the world of podcasting uh three dudes on a podcast that's what my mom keeps telling me uh but did you know also we like to play games that's a unique thing about us put a jigsaw Actually, there was never really any game. All right, I don't want to get into this. There was never really any game. Hold on, let's go. It was like, do you want to play a game? Yeah. Well, too bad. There's a key in your liver. Get it.
Yeah, that one's called Operation. Do this or die. If you don't hit the right spot, you go and then you die.
This one's called There's a Shotgun Pointed at Your Face.
That one's actually called Duck, ironically. I think it's called Peek-a-boo.
Oof.
There was the Pit of Needles.
It's a very modern take on the children's game, Peekaboo. Shotgun Peekaboo. Dude, that sounds like a crazy-ass indie film or something. A24 presents Shotgun Peekaboo.
Today's episode kind of rolls small talk all into one. We're going to be doing a ye olde fireside chat.
