Bob's fridge is a wonder of the world

The endless loop of different people becoming the Thing as proposed by Mark is both hilarious and terrifying.

[@Stale_kitkat73]

Ngl, I thought they were going to talk about the Thing movie. 😂 “You will be forever changed!”

[@KitsuNerezza]

Sounds like a dank new SCP

[@stacyaaa9471]

Yeaa just imagine if mark went to see the thing and then the next article will be the thing is a mummified youtuber named MARK E PLIER

[@Orion55-q1s]

​@Loraine Christinat that is exactly what I was thinking

Love the line "where'd they get the mother and child" "Probably Etsy"

Lost my sanity after this comment from wade 😂

[@emilybailey796]

The Lixian plushie on Bob's shelf is a wonder of the world 💖

[@mrsejanoz523]

I would go so far as to say Lixian himself is a wonder of the world.

[@stacyaaa9471]

Omg i didn't even noticed 😭😭😭😭

[@StealthyGamerGirl2020]

It's also very cute

[@Laz3rFaz3r]

Marks 7 ovens could be a wonder of the world

An excellent horror/sci-fi movie from 1982 directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell

[@its_pale]

arguably the best horror movie ever made tbh (im very biased)

[@etienneleroi9515]

The definition of arguable

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

​@@its_pale the only _possible_ rival is _The Shining,_ and it's almost unfair to place anything in direct competition with Kubrick.

[@reniesulaweyo4383]

I can't let this go without mentioning Alien (1979).

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

@@reniesulaweyo4383 it's okay. Even Universal advertised the film by saying it was even scarier than Scott's masterpiece.

Distractible should be a wonder of the world. Everyone can enjoy it, no matter what age.

[@CthulhuianBunny]

I'm glad they included the Rob Zoombie bit in this.

[@gex6177]

God, sometimes Wade says a thing that just hits right- Rob Zoombie killed me-

[@TheFoolsbane]

I remember stopping and seeing the Thing when I was driving through Arizona waaaay back in 1991 or something. Interesting to hear that it's still there. Lots of weird stuff in a museum in the middle of nowhere.

[@jessicaegnew6393]

Hi, Distractible Team!!! :D :D :D Thank you so much for directing me to The Thing. My perspective is changed indeed. It is pleasure to learn and laugh from your podcast. In the cartoon Dexter’s Laboratory: “Dexter’s Lab. A Story.” His dog was barking and wanting Dexter to follow him. Dexter created a potion to make him talk. He followed the dog. “The thing! C’mon. I got to show you the thing.” They run to it. Once there, his dog stamps his paws, “It’s here! The thing!!! It’s here! It’s here!!! The thing! The thing!” *the thing was a fire hydrant.

[@loading...8512]

As a Rob Zombie fan I absolutely loved this clip lol

[@HeitorIkedaTioBa]

I was commuting when wade said "probably etsy", and I simply let out a huge "HA!" when he said that

[@heyassbut8199]

God rob zoombie might be the funniest thing to come from this podcast, I've laughed and cried so hard in my life 😂

[@zozobee5783]

[@Wandergirl108]

Let's be honest, this trio is a wonder of the modern world.

[@ErikBenedict]

Bob. Just Bob. Love the reactions and the calm down. Then the Rob Zoombie. Bob is a wonder of the world!

[@destinyfeggins2680]

Mark being absolutely SHOOK when bob told wade hes wasting content fully sent me lol

[@opieandme5775]

Anytime Bob raises his voice it scares me- even when he’s happy.

[@LaMortDeLaMusique]

Bob Zoombie's Wheels on the Dragubus is something else

[@XEN_RED]

I loved how they mentioned rob zombie XD Bob singing that will forever make me laugh!

[@achu3p]

00:22 Love the throwback. 00:37 I appreciate Bob triggering Mark's Moro reflex, and Wade literally went 🥺 My brain heard Itsy Bitsy Spider with Living Dead Girl.

[@husseinhasan8296]

I think distractable is the biggest wonder of the world

[@gabbiebailey2717]

Bob’s Rob Zombie impression is a wonder of the world

[@harleycynofficial]

I've been to The Thing many times. It's a fake mummy. The cool thing about the exhibit isn't the end "Thing", it's all the stuff you pass on the way there. They recently overhauled the place, though, so it's now alien-dinosaur themed. Not sure how that plays out...

[@widdershinswitch]

As a local near "The Thing" I can tell you the only way in which it will change you forever after you see it is that you'll be out a dollar and 5-10 minutes of your life will be taken that you'll never see again. 10/10 experience. you should go.

[@StarWGamer]

I know exactly what Mark was talking about with "the thing". We were on the road in South Dakota for hours driving by all these signs saying "come and see this thing," whatever it was. When we finally stopped there to see what all the fuss was about, it was so boring I don't even remember what happened. Update: it was Wall Drug

[@BigTonyPhoenix]

Having worked there for one summer during college... the hype around it is over exaggerated to an insane degree. It's just a tourist mall that's a city block wide.

[@jaywizardess]

Wall Drug is different... The Tin is literally a deformed cow foetus. Wall Drug though.... Very disappointing.

[@AndoHere]

i like how wade just saying Deez Nuts out of nowhere

[@greenxlady4585]

Bob laughing while Wade cries and Mark eats perfectly sums up this podcast's energy

[@DisturbedNeo]

"Rob Zoombie" is when you watch Rob Zombie music videos on 1.5x speed

[@goodsoop420]

Knowing what The Thing is thanks to Eddy Burback and Ted Nivison is amazing

[@Lil_Yuri]

Their souls got trapped there until the next unsuspecting visitors came and released them.

[@schawangus]

For anyone wanting further context who’s still confused about what this “thing” is that doesn’t live near Arizona, it’s this little rest stop where you walk in and there’s just a ton of Native American and alien merchandise. Just like small trinkets and things and then funny stuff involving aliens. Then, there’s a door at one end of the shop that you can pay $5 at and you walk through this museum that loops back into the shop. In this museum, it gives a weird historical timeline of when the meteors wiped out the dinosaurs and how the radiation drew aliens here and they started trying to colonize the earth or something like that and it failed so they left but at the end of the loop is a glass case with what’s apparently a mummified pair of aliens, a mother and a child, who are some of the only proof of extraterrestrial life. It’s really cheesy and goofy, but really fun.

[@austincde]

We had to stop at that gas station on our way to El Paso and I was trying so hard to avoid it because I hate spectacle, I literally tried to walk into the dairy Queen but all the entrances to the dairy Queen only accessible by the entrance of the gas station with The Thing in it. What Mark said is exactly what I was thinking because it was a big life event driving across country & didn't want it to get in my head 😆 about a year later I googled what the thing was and was completely underwhelmed. Now, if you want to see some weird s*** go to the Buckhorn Saloon in San Antonio 💀💀💀 that place is nightmare fuel

[@mekhakreature]

Bob's Rob Zoombie broke Wade and I love it 😂 and they invented a horror soul capturing side show attraction (gave an existing one lore? Idk how to phrase it but it was great).

[@logan-6733]

Bob needs to make full length versions of rob zombie songs mixed with childrens songs.

I like the fact that they mentioned the worlds largest pistachio and that the thing is located between El Paso and Tucson

[@croatianborder2735]

As an AZ native, “The Thing” is fully just a paper mache mummy covered in dirt, but everyone I know just jokes about it being an alien or something

[@WickedThing]

Holy crap I actually know what the thing is! you see signs for it all along the I-10 in Arizona, it's a goofy lil' tourist trap shop. and they're whole selling point literally is "THE THING" with mystery symbols and whatnot. and the whole attraction is walking through this path that leads through like old sheds and part of the building the gift store and all of it is in. and after you follow these painted on the ground footprints, "all the while passing general curious and odd stuff on the walls" you get to the Barn with THE THING. and all it is, is a tiny wrapped mummified figure in a concrete and glass box. pretty sure it was just a doll wrapped in layers and layers of gauze, then soaked in wood stain and burnt a bit. 6/10 I barley remember it since I've only ben once when I was a kid, but we BEGGED my parents to take us every time we passed it and saw the signs.

I grew up seeing those billboards, and when i went on active duty and had to drive from my home in So. Cal. to my first duty station in the southeast US, i decided to stop as often as i wanted along the way to see interesting stuff, and i finally stopped and saw it! It's a fun little museum that takes you along a little hallway with some old road signs and vintage everyday objects and then you go in and see the mummies. (The mother was apparently wearing the child on her back when they fell, iirc, into, like, a pit that preserved their bodies really well.) Another time, i was driving the same route straight through, so i decided to stop only at IHOPs along the way, and it was interesting to see how their menu actually changed regionally. #makeroadtripsfun
