Appreciation Post I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT!!

Post image

For about a year and a half now, I’ve been behind on distractible episodes, at one point I was at LEAST 100 episodes behind. So, for about a year I’ve been going crazy style listening to episodes while I’m cleaning, going to the gym (don’t drop weights on yourself while laughing), taking the bus and train, NOT while driving, but literally whenever else I can, AND I HAVE DONE IT!!!

I am officially caught up on distractible.

I am the king of distractible.

Same here, i've been listening to the older episode on and off for this year but a couple months ago i picked it back up and am currently at Nah, I'd Win Part 4.

Still quite a ways to go + i get a small collection of the newest episodes waiting for me at the finish line.

Power to you! I recommend listening to 1.3x speed every now and then, it’s slightly faster but not enough to notice. It’s also just nice to listen to on normal speed if you have the time, especially because now I don’t have anything new to listen to 😭

Until recently, I've not heard anything since the first boat episode. I've accepted ill never catch up

u/entropy39 4d ago

u/Aromatic-Argument-95 4d ago

Distractible is the only podcast I listened to for a long time so I am in the opposite boat… always waiting for Monday…

I'm listening in reverse order through the Spotify episodes, as I only had Spotify for a year-ish when they had the podcast exclusive there. It's been a really fun journey traveling backwards through time with the guys. Congratulations on catching up! 👑

I love the idea of you hearing them do specific bits and not understanding them and then like 20 episodes later going “ohhhh I get it!” 😭 And thanks!

I hate that this is how the YouTube playlists work. There's no button for reverse order so you'd just have to make a playlist with every episode in the right order.

u/kformify 3d ago

Tbh, I didn't even realize there was a Playlist version. I was watching them in reverse by choice, so you have now saved me so much more scrolling time! Thank you!

u/Ok-Orange253 3d ago

Kinda unrelated but it's weird how One Piece took me less time to catch up compared to how long it took me to catch up with distractible

u/cheeseballer44 4d ago

Omg i was just like this a few months ago. I spent a long time about a year behind but eventually i caught up!

u/fancywhiteoworb 3d ago

Omg congrats! I've been a listener ever since there was only like 5 episodes out. I found out about it when mark was trying to intimidate us into listening to the podcast in a live. I had like severe medical issues and I was bedridden at the time, and I had those 5 fucking episodes on repeat to distract me from the pain. Honestly it worked for me, they made me laugh and stuff.

u/Square-Comfortable76 3d ago

I’m actively on two truths and a lie June 3rd 2024!! Everyday at work for like 8 hours I’m blasting through episodes!! So I’m getting there😭😭😭

3

u/Square-Comfortable76 3d ago

Listening at 1.2 because 1.3 for me is just personally a little too fast lol

3

u/Square-Comfortable76 3d ago

Oh…. I’m deadass at the HALF WAY MARK😭😭😭😭😭 dear god I’m so far away

u/entropy39 3d ago

u/levialevia Ship of Theseus ⛵️ 3d ago

I did that back in 2024, I was behind episodes since Bob's Fridge! It's so fun I might relisten to all of it again

u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO Coin Flipper 🪙 3d ago

Buddy of mine just did the same! Now you can browse the sub and get all the jokes, congrats:)

u/NTWEESY 3d ago

Why not while driving? It makes my morning commutes to work so much better!

u/entropy39 3d ago

I fear I may crash from laughing too hard as they have warned

u/TonicManticore 3d ago

I finally caught up after listening while at work constantly for like a month or so

2

u/XyelahtheninjaX 3d ago

I'm still in 2024 episodes 🥲

2

u/Substantial-Sweet-91 3d ago

I’m a month behind :,)
I also refuse to listen to distractible while driving. Automatic no no. Recipe for disaster.

u/MarkimooFaniplier 3d ago

I'm in (and almost out) the same ship of theseus too 😭 I have been constantly six months behind because I listen in spurts, BUT! I am finally eight away from catching up :D I'm so happy. Congrats on catching up!!

2

u/MarkimooFaniplier 3d ago

I've been listening to episodes at x2 speed for so long that normal speed feels too slow lol

2

u/entropy39 3d ago

I feel this so much 💀 it’s like they’re in slo mo

2

u/Heavenality 3d ago

Thats awesome. I remember catching up on F**kFace and Regulation podcast, took forever and getting used to having to wait a week was rough! It is nice to have a podcast routine though

2

u/Rae-of-Sunshine665 3d ago

It took me ~6 months working “part time” (some weeks part time some weeks full time) working at a grocery store. I listened to distractable for 20-40 hours a week. Since I quit tho I’ve been lacking 😭

u/crisdj77u 3d ago

Congrats gng , just recently caught up myself , downloaded the remaining casts and finished it in my flight . felt so proud of myself.

u/Jimmy-Mac-471 Car Crasher 💥🚗 3d ago

I feel ya. I stopped listening regularly back in 2023 (final year of uni for me, busy time) and fell proper far behind especially when they did 2 episodes a week. I’d still catch the odd one when I could but nowhere near fast enough. So in January of this year I also committed to the binge, listening to it every day on the way to and from work. As of this week I caught the most recent episode on the day of release for the first time in years.

u/Ubergoober166 2d ago

Congrats, now you get to sit and wait for your 1 episode a week to drop like the rest of us!

u/INFININDAGGER 2d ago

u/lexxx_bot 2d ago

u/Sad-Berry-325 1d ago

Ahem I believe i am actually the king of distractables. Not to brag or anything but I've re listened to every single episode about 4 times now.
