Mark’s parkour story is even WILDER when you’re a University of Cincinnati student and you know EXACTLY where everything happened lol

My thoughts exactly. I can picture almost to a tee exactly what they were doing and how close yet far any good medical attention would be for them.

[@sacysily8968]

Not that they're gonna see this, but, Mark, that was absolutely *not* a beginner's parkour course, and yes, they do exist. A proper foundation in parkour starts simple, the very first thing they will teach you in a proper course is how to fall or land correctly from heights, tumbles, jumps, basic vaults, etc. This is the absolute first step you *need* to know in parkour is how to fall/land the right way, so you don't have exactly what happened to you and that other guy happen 🤣 In short, the guy who was responsible for advertising was either an idiot or an asshole. Either way, great story.

[@greenpiersystem]

@@sacysily8968 Yeah, I'd think in any high-risk sport the "beginner's course" isn't the first jump or the first flight or anything, it's supposed to be how to not die. I mean, I still appreciate certain high-risk sports, such as wing-gliding or paramotor or even base-jumping, but I still remember how when I was a kid a veteran wing-glider tried to beat a world record and accidentally veered too far off course and died from hitting something at flight speed (which because of the record he was trying to beat was close to 200 mph.) The first thing you should learn is to not die, not how to jump, because even when you're an expert, shit can go wrong, and that can end badly.

fun tip for anyone else living in america-- if you find yourself in a situation like mark, injured with no health insurance, just go to the hospital anyway. but make sure it's a federally funded hospital, not a private one they won't arrest you for not paying your bill, if you can't-- it'll fuck up your credit, and you'll get a bunch of scary phone calls, but that's _better than being physically injured for life_ also, most federally funded hospitals have some level of charity, contact their financial aid department and you can get your bill anything from slightly reduced to, if you fit their requirements and got lucky with your hospital choice, completely voided if someone knows more, please add or correct

I have heard of bills being sent to collections but never someone getting arrested for not paying a medical bill (maybe it's different in different states, but not in NY)

[@greenpiersystem]

@@alexandrarubiera4824 Well of course they get sent to collections. Companies make a shit ton of money buying and selling that debt, did you know that? It's a whole business model, not unlike how "back in the day" (since they're doing it again now, which is why the housing market is ballooning again, so keep yourself safe. 🤫) banks would bundle shitty mortgages that had no credit basis (meaning that they knew that they weren't going to be paid, and many of them were over 90 days delinquent) from mortgage bonds and sell them to each other, and then bet on them being solid when they knew they were shit; turns out abusing the fact that people can't pay for basic utilities or services is very profitable, and it's even more profitable when the market fails, since the medical debt bought from a hospital by one agency can be sold down the line through several agencies for pennies on the dollar which makes the company that finally beats the debtors bloody to get the money back much more money than the companies before it would have. For the medical debt specifically, there's a John Oliver clip about it on KZbin that can explain it, and it's also a good clip because him and his show often prove how easy it is to do shitty things by doing it themselves, and when they made a debt collection agency themselves, they bought a massive amount of medical debt, and instead of collecting on it like they were legally permitted to, John and his show personally paid all the debt off, which was awesome, so it's worth a look, if you're interested.

for credit issues as long as you make at least a payment of $5 per month they cannot put it on your credit.

[@lunacelatumbra3415]

HI IM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT PARKOUR! What mark did and why it worked: He technically (and very roughly) did something called a Three Point Slap Out. You drop from a high place, land on the balls of your feet (never the heel you'll shatter your calcaneus), bend your knees to crouch (slowing your descent), and bring your hands down to slap your palms on the ground (transferring some of the remaining momentum from your upper body down your arms). The main point to reduce damage from a drop is to reduce speed which increases stopping time, but, as the time you take to stop moving. Have fun, READ UP, and stay safe.

God, Mark's shoulder story reminds of when I screwed up my shoulder. I'd stepped out onto my apartment's stairs outside to go somewhere, in the winter. They had NOT de-iced the stairs or put any sand or salt down. As I stepped down, both feet shot out from under me and I went down. To keep my back from snapping on the stairs, I put my arms and elbows down to catch me. Came down really hard and bounced down three stairs. I thought I just bruised my shoulder and arm badly. Couldn't really lift it over my head after the first day, and it just hurt in general. Two weeks later I'm with my then-girlfriend and my best friend at a party at our place, and I've got that arm on the table, and I lean forward to get something. There was a loud, grisly POP-snap and I was like "OW!" ... but then realized that half the pain I'd been feeling evaporated almost instantly. I roll my shoulder and I can move it past where before I couldn't. "...I think my shoulder popped." They looked at me in horror, and were like "are you okay?!" And I thought about it and told them about the fall, and shrugged my newly-relocated shoulder "... and I think I just popped my shoulder back in. It must have been dislocated." I lived with a dislocated shoulder for 2 weeks cuz I didn't know it was OUT. Lol. My shoulder isn't as good as it used to be, but it's a hell of a lot better than when it was popped out. Lol

I threw the box on a nearby table and collapsed on the floor gasping for air and grunting in pain. I tried to get up but my legs whould just constantly shake and the pain in my back was just overwhelming. So i crawled to my living room and climbed on my sofa and layed down and called my Grandma with my Phone. I coudnt walk for the rest of that day and even the next day i had to take suport from walls. My back was extremely painful for another week untill it returned to normal. From that day ive allways lifted with my arms no matter how heavy the thing im carrying is.

Every time I watch Distractable I forget they have Baldemort do the voice-over and I love it

[@Chihayamoon]

I just started listening to their podcast on Audible and I absolutely love it and I love the stories I'm not one that likes a lot of podcast but they convinced me

[@Danielcort10.]

For those who are coming from the animation it starts at 20:41

[@JJScene]

Could you give me the name of the animation? I can't seem to find it

[@Thentavius]

Mark and Bob Bunk Their Beds.

My favorite thing is when he talks about the sirens and he doesn't think got one second that those sirens are most likely for the kid that broke his ribs XD

[@McQueenIsDead]

I really appreciate that you guys upload these to KZbin too. My signal is iffy and sometimes KZbin works better than Spotify. I need to listen to something while I clean and Distractible distracts me from how much I don’t want to be doing it lol. I also use KZbin when my boyfriend is listening with me cuz your avatars bounce when you talk and it helps him keep up since he doesn’t know your voices well. Thanks guys!

[@leighnicole100]

As someone who is only a few years younger than these guys and a fellow Cincinnati resident, hearing Bob call Ohio an abyss with five cities absolutely sent me. It's so fucking true 😂

[@sharkkebunni]

Bob's Fridge: the After Credit Scene, so good just waiting for the animation or recreation from the boys

[@sharkkebunni]

Starts at 2:14

[@LegendsofSolComics]

God these podcast episodes get me through work lmao. They are so entertaining to listen to. I love them. I chuckle to myself a lot with an earbud in. It’s great

[@lmw4780]

The fact that markiplier has not yet died is undeniable proof of a higher power.

[@death_gun1819]

All their blank faces at the beginning had me laughing and it didn't even start 🤣😂

[@lilithravendance3695]

I loved showing this to my husband because he just grabs his head n says, "it scares me that this man was almost an engineer" and I've not laughed so hard since the fridge story. Love these guys.

[@jelliemish]

Guys I love this podcast, I usually get really bad morning anxiety and you're just making me giggle it away, this is great!

[@valliemcc8352]

The visualization of "if I had sneezed, I would have broken my nose" has me IN STITCHESSSS

[@YouListenToMeNow]

I absolutely love bob's story. Especially after he switched to auxiliary gas tank. Hitting every gas station seems to me like a game loop... Refuelling bike, restoring vitals and buying upgrades along the way... That was greate 😁

[@Astral_Incarnate]

"nonbrand nutritious liquid" why did I immediately think of del Monte corn water lmao

[@michaelamateis]

Mark the magnifying magnificent magnet, Bob the Brilliant and Bold And Wade the wonderful Waiter

[@moldymooshrooms7619]

Wow 2007 the year I was born how amazing

[@krisbabydoll7484]

Me and my hubby were listening to the one about bob's fridge and he was just dying in the driver's seat. We were on a 15 hr drive to Texas so we listened to every episode on the podcast. Any time that mark would go to his deep voice it would go over his stereo system like thunder 🤣

[@Nandeeta28]

This is by far my favorite episode! I always recommend this one when I introduce people to your podcast! You guys crack me up and I always look forward to the next episode. All of you are really good at telling stories. Wade is my favorite!!!

[@wicketwalruss9449]

This is by far my favorite episode so far

[@wind_swept]

bob set the mood for the story really well

[@banannaman4266]

I don't know why but I love Wade's concerned "Oh no." after Bob talks about laying his bike down on his leg.

[@fishebola]

Props to the guy who jiggles the characters in order to simulate talking for a whole hour

[@DestroyerOfAglets]

It's almost certainly done procedurally

[@jelliemish]

I freakin started with Bob's fridge and thought the same thing "BUT IS HIS HOUSE OK NOW? DOES HE HAVE A FRIDGE?" And now I'm here, 5 episodes in and for some reason I mysteriously always pick the ones Wade hosts xD

[@mercuryloveswomen]

this is probably one of my favorite episodes lmaooo

[@NaraClanGaming]

Mark should definitely write a book or two

[@NinjaGidget]

The bed lofting caper is the most college thing ever. In my freshman dorm, we had a bed, a desk, and a dresser for each person. You could loft the bed on the other bed, but my roommate had put it on top of the desk and the dresser and had a cozy, little study cave underneath, which seemed like a great idea. The desk was wide enough to accommodate the bed frame, but the dresser was maybe 1/2 an inch narrower than the width of the bed. My initial plan was "screw it, it'll be fine!" Thank god my roomie's dad had already engineered the whole thing, figured this out, and built a frame of 2x4s to make up the difference. He showed us how to do it, but that 1st night, before we built the frame, I had the bed tettering on the dresser, each foot hanging off the edge. It stayed until I tried to climb down in the morning and I'm lucky I didn't break my butt.

[@addisonpinney6976]

Mark's Parkour accident might be part of the reason why he's so short. LOL

[@averywho6430]

It blows my mind that Bob didn't lose any limbs or just flat out die as a result of this. Like, holy shit, I could never do this myself, so props to Bob for having balls of steel.

[@mikewilliamson6288]

I would love to actually have video of these. Seeing their reactions would add so much to this and I’d never turn it off.

[@SeaskiCyclone]

Mark: HOLD MY BEER. person: ok.... Mark: (breaks ass) everyone else: (runs away!)

[@donajonse]

Mark's story is a pure reason why America's healthcare system is a WTF. Sleep off wrecked shoulder and spine. Yeah, why not! Why the f there is a situation when living with messed up shoulder and crucial back pain is cheaper than cure it once after the incident? It's just blows my mind

[@phantomnite]

Cause America's fucked up

[@imperialbricks1977]

Bob's motorcycle story actually makes me want a motorcycle. Going on a road trip like that actually sounds fun, despite the various mishaps.

[@elusivegamergirl]

Waiting on a "Hold My Beer pt.2" now. We need more stupid college stories from these 3

[@Glax201]

The fact that all this happened 1 hour from where I live and probably before I was born or was just a toddler astounds me

[@CommanderNoob]

Out of every episode of the podcast, this has gotta be the funniest lmao

[@No-Name0087]

Seriously, I wouldn't mind a whole episode about Mark and Bob's college stories, cause it sounds like they have some pretty good ones.

[@galeforce1479]

This podcast ngl is so underrated. They talk about so many cool stories and they also talk about some things that are serious at times. People should watch it or even just listen to some of the good parts. Thought I do like how Markiplier animates some of the funny bits of the podcast, which does help people come to it, and it does show the good bits. I love this way too much!

[@RobwithoneB]

I've been waiting to hear more from Bob. Ik he has his own channel bit he's always been so hilarious to me, I've been wanting to hear him talk more
