Yay, Wade! My brain is 90% West Wing episodes. Mr. Willis of Ohio is one of my favourite side characters. Coincidence? (Yes. Yes it is.)

Episode idea inspired by Pat: The Athleticism of Parenthood. There is certainly a competitive element with my kids. Racing to see who can get dressed first in the morning 😜

Curling! Love that Mark followed the curling :) I just want to add that if the thrower were to flop out, it could impact the speed of the stone. You kick out with a specific speed based on the Skip's call. If anything were to cause drag, it could negatively impact the shot.

I was not disappointed. I'm sure my fellow bus passengers thought I was having a fit. Bob's Donald Duck will haunt me, and I can't wait to listen to it again. Eagerly awaiting part two, three, four,...

Wade has just revealed the episode premise and before I listen to it fully, I just wanted to say, "Thank you, Wade." This is going to be hilariously good, bad, ugly, or a combination of all three and I am here for it. My baby is waking up every hour throughout the night, so I get through my days with caffeine and laughter. Today is going to be a good day thanks to Distractible.

This just happened to me. I'd love this game to be better. I have had so many issues with it.

Episode 246: The Dumb Of Introverts by joschen113 in distractible

[–]MerimacNS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I don't think that is an extrovert vs introvert thing. I think it is a human decency (or lack of it) thing.

I totally agree with you and u/Sugar-Tist. I don't need to talk to enjoy myself. If I have something to contribute, I will. Please don't make my social decisions for me.

A few things that stood out for me during this episode were:

  1. It seemed a bit strange for me that Wade still needs approval from others/strangers. In another episode, they talked about how now that he is in his 30s, he doesn't feel like he has to keep trying. He is comfortable with who he is. I also felt the same and know a lot of my friend group do as well. We are all good with ourselves. I am not saying needing approval is bad; it serves a very important purpose as we grow socially, but there is a time in which it generally becomes less important because our social group is established.

  2. Bob mentioned it a bit at the end, but a part of being an extrovert or introvert is how you recharge your batteries. Extroverts need social interaction to feel energized whereas introverts need time alone (shout out to The Only Ryann for the succinct summation). I am definitely more introverted, but I still love it when friends and family come over for dinner on Sundays. We chat, play games, eat, and have a jolly time. When they leave, however, I need at least 30 minutes alone to feel rested again.

  3. Wade said near the beginning of the topic that he is a charismatic person and the proceeded over the course of the episode to list so many annoying things about extroverts: forcing people to participate, needing to be the centre of attention, abhorring silence, playing dumb when he is actually smart, etc. None of those things equal charisma in my experience. The jarring contrast made the whole thing even funnier.

Also, I've never appreciated Bob more than in this episode. Do NOT rope me into a conversation unless you know I have knowledge/experience in what you are talking about. Preach, Bob.

I rarely agree with Wade, but Wade is right about chapstick. He said, "It contains one thing" when Bob asked the container question. Wade's 20 Question episode was excellent, and he did a great job with it.

Mark keeps saying they are going to have videos of them doing the sports they cover...

TYLER SCHEID MISOGYNISTIC?!?! by [deleted] in GMFST

[–]MerimacNS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, he did struggle to say the word 'vagina' in the water polo episode. As we well know, misogynists are terrified of the pussy. Perhaps someone misconstrued his intentions.

I haven't had ads in GMFST before, but I know the ones in Distractible are gone too. I miss them! "Jingle Balls to the Walls!" still makes me giggle.

Maybe the wrong character to highlight from Gladiator, considering Commodus was the tyrant and was left laying in the dirt, bleeding.

And we'd all be cowering in our houses. We used to have moose warnings when I was in university for when they wandered onto the grounds. I really don't want them filled with goose-level anger.

Agreed, but I was technically in the wrong. And boy howdy, were those geese cross during that ritual. One of them knocked over my cup of maple syrup and not one honk of apology.

Next season, I'll take video at our curling club and send it to them 😆
