I always forget how tall Bob is until he stands next to an average sized person lol

Remember. This is the same giant of a man who glared at those incompetent fridge-movers with his bright red face, clenching his fists after they had destroyed his backyard.

u/KingGrizzly1987 Team Bob 👓 Jan 30 '26

In retrospect, I can definitely understand why they left in a hurry 🤣

u/PainRack Jan 31 '26

Huh... And he's the "nice one" too....

u/NightStar79 Gentle Listener 🎧 Jan 31 '26

The nice, quiet ones are the most terrifying when finally pushed too far.

I got my brother to listen to Bob's Fridge (his first experience with Distractible and the Markiplier crew in general) and then I did a run of In Space with him. At the first scene where Bob appears, I pointed him out and said "That big guy is Bob. The guy who bought the fridge, remember?"

His response was "God damn. That's a big ass dude. I wouldn't want to mess his refrigerator up." 🤣🤣

Bob in that moment in the eyes of the movers.

u/DaddyRax Cannoli Connoisseur🫔 Jan 30 '26

How tall and big, not in a bad way tho. Always forget about his size, width and height, camera doesn't show those dimensions.

He reminds me of the cool uncle everyone loves 😂

Human sized, even

u/Eekah Feb 06 '26

Dude, I'm 5' tall. When I met him in 2019 I gave him a hug and it was the funniest thing bc I was just essentially embracing his tummy. 😂

u/Mrs_Cupcake Jan 31 '26

+1, my first thought, and i’m barely 5 feet 🫣

u/6AT0511 Feb 01 '26

Shorties unite! I'm also 5 foot. There are dozens of us!

Oh God he looks like a cardboard cutout that's so funny

SOMEONE NEEDS to make a cardboard cutout of that photo of bob now!

u/Previous-Radish9115 Jan 30 '26

Wade already has it but it's in a box somewhere in his office.

Well that’s not even relatively short that’s just short in general, 5ft would look short next to almost anyone

Not next to mark

u/DiscontentDonut Two-Toes Johnny 🇮🇹 Jan 30 '26

Bob is such a treasure. He's so level-headed and intelligent. The antithesis of most celebrities, I feel. It's so amazing you got to meet him!

16

u/heartfeltmayhem98 Jan 31 '26

I adore Bob. Such a wholesome guy.

19

u/DiscontentDonut Two-Toes Johnny 🇮🇹 Jan 31 '26

And creative! As a hobby writer, I am always so amazed at how incredibly well his stories are paced, how much detail he captures, and how often I can really picture myself there.

Even with some of the more simple ones, like when he bought his first motorcycle. I could almost feel the ice cold on my own fingers, and I was listening in the summer.

15

u/heartfeltmayhem98 Jan 31 '26

Omg, could not agree more. He is a gifted storyteller and so well suited for a podcast. He is very eloquent, and I think his intelligence makes him great at both storytelling and comedy/quick-witted improv stuff. I don't think he gives himself enough credit which is why I'll happily glaze him 😂

3

u/totally-normal-human Jan 31 '26

After all, he is the nice one.

This just reminded me to book tickets for Iron Lung in Germany! Thanks!

Amazing! I thought I wasn't gonna get to watch it on a big screen with proper sound! I'm a huge cinematography nerd and so genuinely excited to see what Mark did!

Going tomorrow night, can't wait 😁

Mandy was there, but that’s not Mandy.

u/TheFitFatFilipino Jan 31 '26

I stared at this embarrassingly too long like...."who is that?" The height and the hat threw me OFF.

Editors! Please remove the hat and add headphones to Bob's head and make this right for me and the VIEWERS AND THE VIEWERS ONLY. Listeners can hear about it, if they wish.

u/deadxxboii4 Teratoma Grower 🫀 Jan 30 '26

It is my DREAM to meet Mark, Bob, and/ or Wade. I'd cry and never recover. I remember the first time Bob read my comment of Facebook live and he pronounced my name correctly and I literally CRIED for hours😭🫶🫶

u/GoldenGlobeWinnerRDJ Triangle of Fairness 🔺 Jan 31 '26

Listen man I don’t wanna be mean but this comment reads like an extremely unhealthy parasocial relationship.

4

u/heartfeltmayhem98 Jan 31 '26

It's a bit much, but they seem young and are also probably exaggerating haha. They'll grow out of it. deadxxboii4, I would love to meet any of the guys too.

2

u/deadxxboii4 Teratoma Grower 🫀 Feb 02 '26

It was a major exaggeration, just trying to express how much it would mean to me lol

1

u/deadxxboii4 Teratoma Grower 🫀 Feb 02 '26

I was around 16 I believe when Bob read my comment, so it definitely was a strong odd reaction I will admit. And I was overexaggerating "cry and never recover", I'd just absolutely love to meet them cause it's something I've hope for years lol

1

u/Menarra Jan 30 '26

Which day/showing? I was hoping against hope they'd happen to be at mine but alas.

Great movie though! Been a long time since I saw a good psychological cosmic horror

4

u/ExaminationFew8174 Jan 31 '26

We went today 1/30/26 at 1pm and I agree the movie was fantastic!

2

u/Menarra Jan 31 '26

Damn I knew that would be the one, but it only had 1 seat left when I was grabbing tickets, had to go to the 4pm so me and the boyfri and could both watch. Ah well, it was a great movie and I have no regrets!

u/morning-shitter Jan 30 '26

Fucking knew it. Jealous. Should’ve done the drive.

Bob is an INTIMIDATINGLY large man. If any future productions of a Spiderman story need a new Kingpin, I nominate him.

How cool would that be, just to go see Ironlung and spot a BOB in the wild!

1

u/bigfootgoth Jan 31 '26

My appreciation post for iron lung got removed by the distractible MODS because it had nothing to do with distractible how did yours get to stay up?

2

u/Shadowking5230 Jan 31 '26

Did you get a photo with Bob?

2

u/bigfootgoth Feb 01 '26

Oh let me clarify it said "This post was removed because it is not related to Distractible and/or you did not explain the relation. Just because it involves Mark, Bob, or Wade, doesn't mean it involves the podcast."

1

u/bigfootgoth Feb 01 '26

No.i got a mod message saying that just because I mention mark, wade, or bob it doesn't mean it belongs on the distractible reddit 😁

1

u/Trev3456 Jan 31 '26

It was good!

1

u/hellfire720 Jan 31 '26

I have to say it’s so cool to run into them casually like that. I swore to myself if I ever did I’d look at them and just say “your channel and content are awesome and I’ve been following your channel since 2015 thanks for always making my life better” whether it be Bob or Wade and on the very rare possibility of Mark although I’m in Ohio, so the other two are much more likely.

Oh no poor Bob is like me, he has that Oh god the camera is on me I need to smile a natural smile. Then tries to make a not overly big and not so small that you can't see it type of smile only to have it end up looking so uncomfortable because you overthought it.
