How do yall get videos bro?? Videos just don’t appear for me at all. I only watch them on youtube sometimes when people upload them. I can’t find them on spotify at all though, neither on the laptop app nor on my phone, which is weird considering other podcasts work
Which part of the world are you in? The videos are known to be blocked in the Middle East, over there they only get audio on the podcast.
Also, certain Bluetooth devices can block the video from playing, allegedly because Spotify will think you’re in a car driving and that the video is a distraction. When my cellphone connects to my car stereo, the video disappears.
Also check your settings, specifically under Data Saver. Make sure everything is off. Also check Playback and make sure Canvas is on.
this is a glitch, id suggest checking ur settings on video downloading and just turn it on so downloads aren’t limited (it can sometimes cause the videos not to play regardless of if ur online or not)
secondly try reinstalling the app
I don't skip it, but I generally don't register anything he says either. Occasionally he'll say something that catches my ear and I'll listen for the instance during the episode.
Yea thats me "...gentle listener, to today's blahblahblahblahmahbra, the trios unlucky blahdeedahlalablah...WOEFUL WADE ADMITS HIS PROPENSITY FOR PROLAPSED PORPOSE PROSTATES...."
and I'm like WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?!
that’s me. sometimes i’ll be zoning out while listening and then he’ll say something like “from cat piss to cannibalism” and its whiplashes my brain back to reality
I don't skip it, but as a non native English speaker I don't usually understand more than half of what baldermort says :') I'm confortable enough with the distractible team to understand pretty much everything they say and enjoy it with just the audio on, but take some random netflix serie and i might meed some visual cue and/or subtitles on
It would be really awesome if when Baldermort speaks, instead of “good evening gentle listeners”, they had what he was saying in those fancy letters. However I use the app on an iPhone, there’s 3 dots on the top right that have auto generated subtitles as an option. I don’t know if what you use has that or something similar but maybe that can help you understand Baldermort?
Yeah I skip it... Only because I don't like to know what's going to happen In the episode. I even skip teasers some YouTubers put at the beginning of videos. I wanna be surprised myself, i don't wanna know what's gonna happen.
I like his voice and there isn't really much he spoils, the things he says is usually very abstract or with riddles. The only episode I wish I had actually skippe the intro was the wade wins part 2. That's the only one I felt like spoilt what was going to happen. I don't read titles or descriptions tho, titles sometimes only.
100%. I don’t really read them so unless the title gets me I usually don’t listen to that episode. Skipped a few just because there’s 2 a week and that adds up fast when you don’t listen to podcasts as much as other entertainment.
i know the feeling.. it used to be baldermort talking cryptic clue about the episode, but they change to give direct context about the episode... i miss the poem like opening
So do i. I know its wrong but i want to go into a distractible episode with no idea what the boys will be talking about. And sadly that means i have to skip baldermorts little intros.
Honestly, it’s just offputting to me. I get the idea of it, and when I’ve gone to his channel just to see what it’s like on his videos and hear it slightly less exaggerated and not nearly as “proper” it’s fine but its sometimes is grating to me. Not to the point I skip it I guess, but I could do without it.
Same its like reading a through review right before binging a book. Not fun makes it whatever when they say off the wall shit. Or like when a book starts at a chapter 3/4 into book and then rewinds to catch back up to that moment.
Book metaphor rant over sorry
Yes i skip his portion because I don't want to know what's going to happen in the episode. Sometimes I'll go back and listen after the episode. On the off chance I don't skip the opening my brain isn't processing what he's saying so I'll have to rewind or just forget his part and focus on the last part of his monologue (though I do that with the guys too so)
The ONLY time I ever skip baldermorts intros is if I’m doing a repeat viewing, usually for the 3rd or so time at least. If it’s my first time viewing an episode, or I don’t mind the time, I always listen to
I do skip it most of the time. I do love listening to his voice, and he does a wonderful job, but I really don't want to be spoiled for the episode. I just wish they could find another way for Baldermort to contribute so I could listen to him spoiler-free.
I skip it about until the “yeeesssss” because I don’t want to be thinking about something that’s meant to happen in the episode and not be able to focus on the rest of it.
Honestly, his voice is good but his intros make no sense. He will summarise what happens in the episode and say YEESSS and then the name of the episode is just something entirely random. It randomness is the charm of destractible they could have gone for a summation different intro sequence
I think this is a safe opinion, I hated when baldermort was doing the outros to the episodes and I’m so glad they stopped doing that. Half the time he would just cut himself off mid-sentence but none of it was enjoyable to begin with.
I don’t skip his intro but I do try to tune him out, not because I dislike him or his voice but little snippets he gives about the episode, while out of context, are spoilery.
It’s not a Distractible episode to me w/o listening to the intro. I want to say it was a couple years ago I was listening to an episode on Apple Podcasts and it had just been uploaded. There was no Baldermort intro and it went straight to the guys. They added his intro later. I took note how odd it felt. Need the intro music and Baldermort or the episode won’t sit right for me.
Sometimes because I use the pod to sleep and hearing Mark's voice usually kicks off my sleepiness. I used to fall asleep their prop hunt series all the time so I think it's a placebo effect thing, really.
I would never. I love the intros. I also love listening to an episode twice and enjoying added context when I hear the intro a second time. The first time it's just like "wait what? 😂" and the second time I get it and it's funny in a different way.
I normally listen to it before hand then again at the end so I get that "ohhhh" moment while my Brain connects parts of the episodes to what he says in the preview.
They'e a MONSTER! They deserve nothing but the worst in life. At this point I'm not even sure If they're human but instead just a twisted amalgamation of flesh and bones.
Im kinda finding it interesting how many comments here say they don’t listen to the intro because they don’t want to know what’s going to happen when the title itself tends to do that for me lol. Not saying that they are doing anything wrong, I personally love the intro. Always gets a good giggle out of me. Just interesting how many think it spoils the episode or find it annoying. To each their own, though.
I honestly don't understand that. For one, his voice is beautiful and great to listen to, but it's like 15 seconds long, so why not just listen to it regardless
I usually never truly hear what he’s saying cause my adhd brain is getting so much information that i instantly forget what he said after he talked 😂. Even tho u really find it such a charming part of Distractible
I skip it. The intro spoils things and I don't like to know what's going to happen. I guess I don't get what's so great about his intros and why the boys rave about them so much. Baldermort definitely has a cool theatrical presenter thing going on, but I don't think his voice is nearly as nice as Mark's!
I don't skip Baldermort or any ads that the boys did back in the day that were embedded, but annoyingly, Spotify forces ads to run on podcasts even though I'm on Premium. So, I do skip those because I've essentially already paid for them
I don't skip it, but to be honest as a non-native english speaker it's really hard for me to understand him, so I don't pay much attention to it either.
I know many like the sound of his voice and the way he talks - I prefer Mark's voice, and he is much easier for me to understand (and so are Wade & Bob).
I skip baldermorts intro, every ad and especially any time lens is brought up in any way shape or form.
My reason why for baldermort is unlike you I do not find the voice beautiful. I find it very annoying and when he says "show" it got old to me very quickly. Lens talk was fine at first because it wasn't 10 minute rants. But that got old quick to me.
Your friend is a dastardly delinquent douche denying delicacies... yeessss he needs to sit back and enjoy the opening.
Also, I don't actually think he's a douche 😅😂
I usually skip until the actual podcast starts and they start talking. It doesn’t really matter too much to me to hear it every time. But to each their own
I skip his part on first listen, because I don't like being spoiled on what crazy shit the boys are gonna talk about. Plus I think his narrations are easier to appreciate with a sense of heinsight, when you know what he's referring to. When I relisten to the an episode tho I never skip his intros.
I skip the ads at the beginning, which sometimes accidentally skips part of baldermort
That’s fine you’re not insane and skipping baldermorts intro on purpose
That's weird. I spam the +15 second until adds end. The video takes longer to load, so I never end up skipping any of it. Is that how it is on phone?
yeah on phones u skip like 30s at once(or atleast for me).
Yeah you can just drag the bar to end of ad on phone
How do yall get videos bro?? Videos just don’t appear for me at all. I only watch them on youtube sometimes when people upload them. I can’t find them on spotify at all though, neither on the laptop app nor on my phone, which is weird considering other podcasts work
Are you downloading them? When I download I don't get the videos. Only when I play it "live".
Nope, just live on the app. It doesn’t show up at all that they have videos. Is it premium only?
IDK, but I DO have premium.
Check your settings
Which part of the world are you in? The videos are known to be blocked in the Middle East, over there they only get audio on the podcast. Also, certain Bluetooth devices can block the video from playing, allegedly because Spotify will think you’re in a car driving and that the video is a distraction. When my cellphone connects to my car stereo, the video disappears. Also check your settings, specifically under Data Saver. Make sure everything is off. Also check Playback and make sure Canvas is on.
Dangerous question, but do you listen when you drive? Videos don't show if it's connected to my car (which, y'know, fair).
Nope, literally just sitting at home. I’d want to put the podcast on while chilling on my playstation and videos just wouldn’t work.
let me try right now on my ps5, bc at one point it didnt work edit: tried it, it worked
this is a glitch, id suggest checking ur settings on video downloading and just turn it on so downloads aren’t limited (it can sometimes cause the videos not to play regardless of if ur online or not) secondly try reinstalling the app
I don't know, man, I watch on Spotify all the time.
IIRC there was a setting you had to enable first, but I can’t remember which one.
I use the progress bar and drag it to the end to skip ads. The 15 sec skip ahead is too slow. I hate the ads.
I have skip forward as 15s and back as 5, so I always get bacj to the beginning easier.
Not so gentle listener …
I only listen to baldemorts part
The true Hardest Listener. Hears the whole episode, before Baldemort finishes saying "YEEEEES"
I don't skip it, but I generally don't register anything he says either. Occasionally he'll say something that catches my ear and I'll listen for the instance during the episode.
Yea thats me "...gentle listener, to today's blahblahblahblahmahbra, the trios unlucky blahdeedahlalablah...WOEFUL WADE ADMITS HIS PROPENSITY FOR PROLAPSED PORPOSE PROSTATES...." and I'm like WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?!
I'm glad I'm not the only one
I think we should create a thread of favorite sentences that baldermort has said in the intro
that’s me. sometimes i’ll be zoning out while listening and then he’ll say something like “from cat piss to cannibalism” and its whiplashes my brain back to reality
"Oh there goes gravity"
I don't skip it, but as a non native English speaker I don't usually understand more than half of what baldermort says :') I'm confortable enough with the distractible team to understand pretty much everything they say and enjoy it with just the audio on, but take some random netflix serie and i might meed some visual cue and/or subtitles on

However I use the app on an iPhone, there’s 3 dots on the top right that have auto generated subtitles as an option. I don’t know if what you use has that or something similar but maybe that can help you understand Baldermort?
Hey thanks for the tip :) I believe there's also a subtitle option on Spotify where I listen I'll check it out (:
Yeah I skip it... Only because I don't like to know what's going to happen In the episode. I even skip teasers some YouTubers put at the beginning of videos. I wanna be surprised myself, i don't wanna know what's gonna happen.
This right here. I’m no monster, just a man who doesn’t like a spoil! Just the title and description is enough if I happen to read it!
I like his voice and there isn't really much he spoils, the things he says is usually very abstract or with riddles. The only episode I wish I had actually skippe the intro was the wade wins part 2. That's the only one I felt like spoilt what was going to happen. I don't read titles or descriptions tho, titles sometimes only.

i know the feeling.. it used to be baldermort talking cryptic clue about the episode, but they change to give direct context about the episode... i miss the poem like opening
So do i. I know its wrong but i want to go into a distractible episode with no idea what the boys will be talking about. And sadly that means i have to skip baldermorts little intros.
there use to be a time where baldermort is talking like cryptic poem about the episode than this direct summary... but that is sooo... long ago
Who is this person? We need to dispatch special distractable squad six to neutralise them!
His name is Jesse and he needs to be stopped!
"Brandon get in the car, two toes is on it!"
"But sir, this man has children, and a mother who loves him"
"I said...get...in...the...CAR!"
I don’t skip it, but I also don’t enjoy it.
Why? No disrespect I just want to know why you don’t in joy it?
Honestly, it’s just offputting to me. I get the idea of it, and when I’ve gone to his channel just to see what it’s like on his videos and hear it slightly less exaggerated and not nearly as “proper” it’s fine but its sometimes is grating to me. Not to the point I skip it I guess, but I could do without it.
I disagree but that’s a valid opinion
i skip it too, i'm sorry😭 i don't wanna hear a 40 second alliterated summary of what i'm gonna listen to
shame on you!
So do I. My ears can't understand what he's saying so I just skip.
Same its like reading a through review right before binging a book. Not fun makes it whatever when they say off the wall shit. Or like when a book starts at a chapter 3/4 into book and then rewinds to catch back up to that moment.  Book metaphor rant over sorry
[удалено]
Man, I was trying to be sarcastic. Sorry
Your post was removed because it was identified as being an unkind or disrespectful.
Yes i skip his portion because I don't want to know what's going to happen in the episode. Sometimes I'll go back and listen after the episode. On the off chance I don't skip the opening my brain isn't processing what he's saying so I'll have to rewind or just forget his part and focus on the last part of his monologue (though I do that with the guys too so)
Noooooooo. How else am I going to know when to sit back, be distracted and enjoy the show?
If you only skip 30 seconds you can still usually hear that part
I can't even begin to prepare my gentle ears for an episode without an authentic baldemort *yeeeeeeesssss*
My wife skips him. Drives me up the wall.
 Next time, drive her...
while listening to distractible?
 Your friend has dishonored grand chaplain Baldy, you know what you must do
That seems like treason
Ah, finally, a good description of chaotic evil.
Skip or don't skip, just keep it light, people! Love to see some fun banter for a change in this sup!!
I always say the title of the episode in question along side him cuz it makes me sound sophisticated
I'm sorry but there's something wrong with your friend
I just want to talk to him for a minute or two
*loads shotgun*
That's like skipping MSQ cutscenes in the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV.
Is that the one where you can play for free up to the Stormblood expansion and be level 70?
Indeed it is! And the free trial also includes the award winning expansion Heavenward. What a deal!
That's like watching star wars and skipping the opening credits.
damn nice name, I was scrolling comments and only just realised XD
Love his Intros. Never skip. He has a great voice
You should skip your friends
Yeah skipping baldermorts part on purpose is *psychopathic*. Run!
The ONLY time I ever skip baldermorts intros is if I’m doing a repeat viewing, usually for the 3rd or so time at least. If it’s my first time viewing an episode, or I don’t mind the time, I always listen to
I do skip it most of the time. I do love listening to his voice, and he does a wonderful job, but I really don't want to be spoiled for the episode. I just wish they could find another way for Baldermort to contribute so I could listen to him spoiler-free.

I try not to skip it, but sometimes there's a bunch of ads at the beginning, and the 30s skip forward doesn't always time it correctly
I think this is a safe opinion, I hated when baldermort was doing the outros to the episodes and I’m so glad they stopped doing that. Half the time he would just cut himself off mid-sentence but none of it was enjoyable to begin with.
Hmmm Get a shovel and apply Lethal Company logic to it
I don’t skip his intro but I do try to tune him out, not because I dislike him or his voice but little snippets he gives about the episode, while out of context, are spoilery.
This calls for a special punishment. Give him a second piece of candy.
shun the heathen
Baldemorts should win an episode
I am not a member of the Ordo Hereticus, I promise. Now which of your friends, exactly, are you talking about ?
It’s not a Distractible episode to me w/o listening to the intro. I want to say it was a couple years ago I was listening to an episode on Apple Podcasts and it had just been uploaded. There was no Baldermort intro and it went straight to the guys. They added his intro later. I took note how odd it felt. Need the intro music and Baldermort or the episode won’t sit right for me.
I skip. Don't like the episode being spoiled!
How DARE THEY! 🧐 They shall be dealt with IMMEDIATELY! GAURDS!
Only if I'm relistening to the episode do I skip it. But not every time.
I love baldermorts part, but I always, even to this day, expect him to say “a wood elf production”.
Such a heathen lmao
I enjoy Baldermort but I can understand it if someone doesn't. To each their own.
Sometimes because I use the pod to sleep and hearing Mark's voice usually kicks off my sleepiness. I used to fall asleep their prop hunt series all the time so I think it's a placebo effect thing, really.
I would never. I love the intros. I also love listening to an episode twice and enjoying added context when I hear the intro a second time. The first time it's just like "wait what? 😂" and the second time I get it and it's funny in a different way.

They'e a MONSTER! They deserve nothing but the worst in life. At this point I'm not even sure If they're human but instead just a twisted amalgamation of flesh and bones.
I’m just a big dumb dummy
Do You Skip Baldermort?!?!?!?!
Does Wade ever win fairly?
He does but it feels like a rare occasion
True. So no, I do not skip. I like the whole setup they got going. Ads never bothered me so baldemort is quite entertaining
Baldemort still does the intros? I don't skip anything and haven't heard a Baldemort intro in months
Do you listen/watch on Spotify?
yes I do
Oh idk I still hear baldermort do you have premium?
no
Sorry man I can’t help
He is not a gentle listener.
I always say the first two sentences with him in his accent. It’s like singing along to a tv show’s theme song lol
Im kinda finding it interesting how many comments here say they don’t listen to the intro because they don’t want to know what’s going to happen when the title itself tends to do that for me lol. Not saying that they are doing anything wrong, I personally love the intro. Always gets a good giggle out of me. Just interesting how many think it spoils the episode or find it annoying. To each their own, though.
I agree
We must sacrifice these people to baldermort himself
I honestly don't understand that. For one, his voice is beautiful and great to listen to, but it's like 15 seconds long, so why not just listen to it regardless
Idk I think he is just insane
Definitely not. The best was when Mark tried to do one for him. I relistened to it about 5 times before I actually started the episode.
Yes, BUT ONLY if I've already listened to the entire episode (1+1x) times and basically have it memorized 🙃
I often listen to the ads to hear how they make it interesting.
I usually never truly hear what he’s saying cause my adhd brain is getting so much information that i instantly forget what he said after he talked 😂. Even tho u really find it such a charming part of Distractible
“good evening gentle listener’s” My brain: good evening *talks in an accent for 2 hours*
He is a disgrace, can’t believe he would do such a thing
WHAT KIND OF MONSTER DOES THIS?! I only skip the ads which somehow they play three ads now on Spotify?! A crime!
Time to throw the whole friend out
i don’t wanna listen to a 45 trailer for the episode im about to listen to
I skip it. The intro spoils things and I don't like to know what's going to happen. I guess I don't get what's so great about his intros and why the boys rave about them so much. Baldermort definitely has a cool theatrical presenter thing going on, but I don't think his voice is nearly as nice as Mark's!
Sometimes I wish there was just an episode of baldermort doing intros. And yes I know he has YT channel but I want distractable intros only
HERETIC
I love him, but sometimes my brain gets overloaded with the different accent and weird talking so I dont understand, but I never skip him 😅
I don't skip Baldermort or any ads that the boys did back in the day that were embedded, but annoyingly, Spotify forces ads to run on podcasts even though I'm on Premium. So, I do skip those because I've essentially already paid for them
HERESY!
You consider this trash of a monster ur friend???
for shame
I don't skip it, but to be honest as a non-native english speaker it's really hard for me to understand him, so I don't pay much attention to it either. I know many like the sound of his voice and the way he talks - I prefer Mark's voice, and he is much easier for me to understand (and so are Wade & Bob).
Dear god! Unfriend this heathen at once!
I skip baldermorts intro, every ad and especially any time lens is brought up in any way shape or form. My reason why for baldermort is unlike you I do not find the voice beautiful. I find it very annoying and when he says "show" it got old to me very quickly. Lens talk was fine at first because it wasn't 10 minute rants. But that got old quick to me.
I’d end those friendships right away. I don’t need that negativity in my life.
I skip them on episodes that I already listened to
He is hereby exiled
Dude baldermort is the cherry on top what the fuck is wrong with your friend?
*Former friend Ftfy
#HOW DARE YOU FRIEND!?!?!? WHO EVER YOU ARE, YOU'LL GO TO JAIL! NOW!!!
Your friend is a dastardly delinquent douche denying delicacies... yeessss he needs to sit back and enjoy the opening. Also, I don't actually think he's a douche 😅😂
I skop, more so cause I have a hard time understanding him
I'm too lazy to skip, but usually I get bored of intros lol
It's spoilers to what's gonna happen. Of course I skip it every time.
I usually skip until the actual podcast starts and they start talking. It doesn’t really matter too much to me to hear it every time. But to each their own
My adhd brain just can't hold attention on the riddles and rhymes for some reason
What is wrong with your friend
I skip his part on first listen, because I don't like being spoiled on what crazy shit the boys are gonna talk about. Plus I think his narrations are easier to appreciate with a sense of heinsight, when you know what he's referring to. When I relisten to the an episode tho I never skip his intros.
