Chapter 1: What happens in Order Matters Part 2?
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractible. No qualifiers today, just Distractible. I can't remember the last time I didn't say it was your uncle's nephew's favorite podcast. Hi, welcome to Distractible. My name's Bob. I'm the host because I won. And I'm joined today by my...
to uh co-hosts slash competitors mark and wade hi boys hello hello they are here to compete to be the next host you don't know how the show works there's points i write them down the winner of this episode hosts the next one and so on and so forth in perpetuity does it go And I forget we made some very specific rules about that when we were sitting in a hot tub or something. I don't remember.
Chapter 2: What are the rules of the Distractible podcast?
So if it ends, it ends and we'll find out in post. I have a topic for today. We might even get to it because Mark, you haven't been on fire again since the last time, right? Okay. So, so we might get to the topic today, but we do usually smart. We do usually start with small talk. How's it going? You guys got any fun stories?
Molly just celebrated her birthday, and we went down to Soto in Cincinnati. Soto is so good. So good. It's so much better even than I remembered. Didn't I remember you saying that already?
Yeah, but we weren't recording then. No, but I mean like last week. I could have sworn.
We talked about that because Mandy and I have reservations, I think, at Soto.
I was there yesterday, so if we talked about it last week, that's wild. Oh no, oh no.
I'm having like the craziest deja vu that last week we talked about you going to Soto and you were like, oh, it was so good. It was specifically that it was so good that reminded me of it. I was like, wait, whoa, I've heard that before.
Mark, are you suffering? Suffering from my acute time dilation syndrome or something? Just you were here already, but we weren't yet. Good Lord. Maybe.
I've read 13 books in the last week.
How many has Molly read? Less than that. Take that. Is it the Animorphs? It is. Who's Who's a book person now? And I know this because you said this. I've heard this before.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of setting up a new workspace?
refuses to do to my hickeys in your box box are you talking about breakers yeah yeah i've got two different breakers i think to my office oh uh i see box box so i also i i did have to care about where i plugged things in to make sure i was spreading them out decent amount box box
All right, nothing earth shattering there. It's not, I don't do it particularly well, but every time, because I've also moved my office around a fair amount and I have a ton of shit that goes on my desk to do the stuff that we do. And every time I'm like, I'm going to do it better this time.
And by 60% of the way through, I'm like, I can't fucking tuck another cable through this stupid fucking channel. And it always just ends up with my desk just being a...
of cables and if I ever need to add anything I just lay the new cable on top of the raft of old cables there's definitely some cables in there that are not connected at either end where I like I unplugged it and I was like well well that's not coming out and I just left it and it's part of my cable management because I have a hammock of pre-existing cables that all new technology can rest in you use those cables and wrap them around the good cables and they'll hold them in place
I call it cumulative looming. You just keep wrapping things around and it's like a big organic root loom of cable root of the loom. That's what I call it. That is a better name.
Does it have a corn cope corner? Nevermind.
Yeah, on the tag, there's a cornucopia.
Cornucopia? Cornucopia?
Yeah, you literally said half the word and gave up.

Chapter 4: How do you manage cable organization when moving?
Yeah, but I got stuck on corn on the cob in my brain, and I was like, that's not what I'm trying to picture. Let's have a corn on the cob, yeah? Mark wins, I guess.
Hey! No, that's a tie.
That's a tie. That's a tie. You both get a point. You both get a point. Okay, goddammit. Why did I even get my hopes up? Why did I even try to be happy?
I mean, you did do most of the groundwork, but like... Alright, Mark gets a groundwork point. Thanks, Wade. Do I get accessory point? No, you don't get an accessory. Nope. This is one where I feel like Mark's potentially going to get into hot water. Oh no. Because this is related to one that you did just as wrong as you possibly could, but it's also simple. So maybe it won't be a big deal.
Chapter 5: What are the best practices for desk setup?
Whatever. How do you make coffee or tea? What order do you do that? There's not complicated. Do you drink black coffee, Mark? So your order is like put coffee in cup.
No, I don't. I don't drink black coffee. It depends. It depends on what type of coffee we're talking about. Are we talking about drip coffee?
If you're making yourself a coffee at home on a random Thursday morning because you're tired and you're like, God, get some caffeine.
I'll go first this time since it's my turn.
Wait, I'm assuming you make tea for Kamali sometimes or coffee or something. I know you're not a big... I mean, it's pretty... Tea is pretty easy.
I guess the last time I made coffee was probably like back when I was probably a kid.
and it was the old style like i don't know if people still use it but like the actual like folgers tin where you take a scoop put it in the uh coffee filter slide it in press the button and it would brew into the pot then you had to throw away the old nasty uh filter with the wet mass of shit yes drip coffee filters do still exist i was also the person who didn't even like the smell of coffee so yeah i've
Boo, boo me. Oh, you didn't like the smell? It smells so good. When I think, so, okay, side tangent, distracted, distractible. To me, the cool thing about coffee was that the Folgers tins, if you took a knife and you stabbed the lid, you had a perfect little cage to catch a frog for a couple hours.
So when I think of like Folgers tins, I think the weird smell of like a frog with coffee beans around it, that hybrid smell of animal beans. Ew. Ew.
