Let me ask you a question. Have you ever slept so badly
that you wake up looking 30 years older than you did the
night before? Because that's where I'm out of
my day right now. Really.
Well, sweetheart, I'm looking right at you and you look.
I think part of it is the lighting, but I've I've it's,
it's a little rough out here right now.
You don't look. I'm so sleepy.
You. I'm sorry sweetie, I'm sleepy
too. My I got, I got.
I got drippy ear again. You got drippy ear.
I got drippy ear. Dear listener, if you get
grossed out by I, maybe I just won't even talk about it.
But yeah, I get frequent ear infections and I got I woke up
last night, I'm not going to it. It just started happening.
But like, don't let it sit there for six months like you did
less. Yeah, I know.
Well, what's weird is like it, it hurts variably like I was
last night, like I, I was almost crying like, yeah, it was, it
was bad because it's like it's, it's a weird type of pain where
like there's nothing you can do about it.
Like, you know, like like there's some things you can rub
or like get into a different position that makes a little
better or something like that. But there's just it nothing to
do with it. It's like a toothache type
thing, but anyways. There is hydrogen peroxide in
the cabinet above the sink if you want to put hydrogen
peroxide in your ears. Oh.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry. You slept badly.
Why did you sleep badly? Because I was too scrolling for
like, I like I those. I'm not even lying.
I got into bed at 10:30 and I was like, oh, I'm going to get
like, I'm just going to go to bed a little bit early.
I went to bed at 3:40 AM and if you would held a gun to my head,
I would have been like, I've been scrolling for about 45
minutes. Yeah, like I got trapped.
I got like straight trapped. Dude, it's, it's like, I mean,
it's very Black Mirror Y, like just this weird world we live in
where we can just scroll endlessly and just hit the
dopamine button. But it is like medically and
technologically and scientifically fascinating that
we've invented a thing that can allow five hours to go by and
you not notice. Like it's amazing.
I was like what? And then and then I got really
scared because I was like trying to watch TV.
I was trying to watch TV and I, I was watching the show and I
kept like pausing it because I would like, oh, I need to do
something or what? It took me like 3 1/2 hours to
watch a 45 minute show and I was like, I feel like like I'm going
back to school dude. Like I'm going back to I.
Was. Like what if I can't do it
anymore? Like what if I broke my brain?
And so then I got like really scared and I was like, I might
have to like, I don't know what I should.
I feel like I need to like rewire or just like do like a
social media cleanse and just not be on social.
Media. But it's like my fucking job is
being on social media, which is annoying.
Yeah, I feel annoying. I think camping great for
resetting your ship. You know you want to go.
Camping. Fuck yeah.
I want to go camping, Dude, I always want to go camping.
Hell yeah. Can we?
Go nice camping, and by that I mean clamping.
Yes, we can definitely go. Clamping.
I like camping. I like the the camping part, but
I like it when there's a bed. Yeah, yeah, dude, when we
discovered glamping, the two of us, that was like one of the
best days of my fucking life. Because like I love camping, but
like I don't like worrying about you're comfort.
I mean, I don't like dislike, but you know, if you if if you
weren't comfortable, I'd be thinking about that.
So when we were like, oh shit, like I can, you know, get naked
and run around in the woods or whatever and you can do your
camping stuff, like whatever you want to do, but then you have a
nice bed to like go back to that isn't a bunch of.
Sounds it's beautiful. It's beautiful system.
It's fucking awesome dude. My back hurts so much less.
That's so awesome. God damn it.
Hell yes. Actually pretty crazy.
That's awesome. I mean I've weird what?
What is it fucking like to have been in pain for so long and now
it's not as bad? It, it, it, you know what?
I was, I, I told OK, dear listener, content warning for
the next 5:00-ish minutes, I'm going to talk a little bit about
weight loss. It's OK, I'm being healthy.
But like, we're, I know we don't usually talk about these topics,
but we're going to talk about it.
So just Fast forward or something if you don't want to
listen to it. But like I keep, it keeps
feeling like I have like transported to a parallel
universe where everything is slightly wrong.
Like that is the best way that I can explain it is like it, it's
I go like, I like I oh, it's Oh my God, I don't even have work.
It's so weird. It's like I wake up in the
morning and like I had like there are some days like
especially like when it's like really humid outside or like
it's really, really hot. Like I still have like the joint
pain and I still have, you know, and I'm like, OK.
And so that's actually been real.
Like I'm telling the story so shitty, but I'm trying to like,
process my thoughts in real time.
But like, it was actually really validated because I went like
several weeks was like not even thinking about it.
Like I would just take Bailey out for a walk.
I would just like, you know, do whatever.
Like it was fine. And then I was like, wow, like
maybe I was faking the whole time.
Like maybe I was just being overdramatic.
Like maybe I was just being stupid.
Maybe I was just being needy. Like, I was just convincing
myself. And then like the very next day,
it was like 90° and humid and I went outside and it was just
like, everything just felt like it was so painful.
And I was like, oh, OK, OK. So like, this is real.
Like we can validate like the the realness of it.
But yeah, it's gotten so much better.
But yeah, it's like living in like a weird parallel universe
where like I have never in my adult life, like gone to the
store and then like, I will shop in the medium section.
And like, it's just weird small things like that where it's like
I buy a size that I'm not familiar buying.
And so it feels wrong to buy it like, because my entire life
I've been like extra large, you know?
And so now it's like, oh, I, I get like a medium or whatever.
And it feels wrong. Like there's like this this
element of like unfamiliarity. There's this this feeling of
like unease. There's this feeling of almost
like apprehension because like, what if things change?
What if the medication stops working?
Like what if my pain comes back and it further disables me in
the way that it was disabling me before?
Like, so it's like weird because it's amazing because I can like
go for walks and I can even go for like little jogs.
I can go for like little jogs, you know?
But then some days I wake up and I'm like, oh, my shit hurts.
It's really weird. I don't know.
I don't know how else to explain it.
It's just been so weird. It's been a really weird
experience. I think I somewhat I felt a
similar way when I started taking antidepressants.
Like I first I was like, oh shit, I've been faking this
whole time because now I feel so much better.
Maybe it was just a sugar pill and I just like whatever, you
know, I don't. Know placebo effect.
Placebo effect, Exactly. But then every once in a while
I'll forget to take it and then it'll come back and I'll just
go, oh, that's right. That is very fucking real, holy
shit. But it's also really scary.
I remember describing it as it feels like walking on stilts
almost, or like climbing a ladder.
You know, we're like, this is wow, this is cool.
I'm up here now. But like, you know, there's
further to fall now and that's fucking terrifying.
But you know, I don't know. I did totally not feeling of
like apprehension of like I'm in this new world now and it's like
cool and it's so much better and I like it but like shit, what if
I structure of my life around being this way and then I stop
being this way? Fuck.
Like, yeah, it feels like, what's the name of what's that
fucking play with the guy? Titus Andronicus, the music man.
Yes, that's it's, you know, that that musical where Harold Hill
takes the magic pill and he gets really smart and then it starts
going away. That the classic plot of the
Music Man. Is it called Harold Hill and the
Magic Pill? Because that great.
It's also that's not what the Music Man is about, right?
That's Music, Man is not about that.
What, out of curiosity? Is there a play called?
The plot of the Music Man is. It's.
Pitch me the plot to the music Man Go.
It's about a man and he's very musical.
He's really musical and he comes to town.
Oh no, that's the Wells Fargo wagon is coming.
I know that song Wells Fargo Wagon is a also, I'm going to
I'm going to bleep that I'm not doing fucking free advertisement
for the. Music Man.
No, for fucking Wells Fargo. Oh well, it's different.
Well I know, but it's still their their name and they have
the wagon on their logo and shit like that.
Is that why do they have the wagon on their logo?
Before, the music manner was just the Wells Fargo wagon like
a thing. The Wells Fargo wagon was like a
thing. It was like the the how they
like did deliveries across like the the plains of America.
So the Wells Fargo wagon, it's like the song The Wells Fargo
Wagon is about how the Wells Fargo wagon is like the UPS.
Truck The. Song about how the UPS truck is
coming. That's a fucking Amazon drivers
getting in. So wait with the Wells Fargo
wagon would drop off packages? Just said it wasn't like a bank
thing. Flowers for Algernon, that's the
name of the plug. Oh, I could have gotten, sorry.
Nailed that one. That's.
What it was, but yeah, the Wells Fargo, I feel like I'm like, oh
God, what if it all goes right? But anyway, yeah, the Wells
Fargo wagon like they would do like deliveries and stuff and
they had like a like a route that could drive like through
the through the West. OK, so so in that case, The
Music Man is about a guy who stowed away on the Wells Fargo
wagon and he gets caught because he keeps tapping on all the
boxes and stuff and he keeps making little, little
instruments out of the stuff in there.
And so when the Wells Fargo wagon comes into town and they
open the back, there's just this Music Man in there and he's
taking all their packages and he's made weird instruments out
of them. And they're like, oh, Music Man.
And then he he skitters off into the night and then curtains and
that. Was weird.
End of play and. You just, it's just assumed.
It's for the audience to wonder, like maybe he's still out there,
you know? Whatever happened to the Music
Man? Right, if you hear some like,
knocks in the woods at night or something, maybe it's the music
man. Wait, are you saying that the
like Harold Hill, the Music Man is actually like a crypted?
He's encrypted. Yeah, he's encrypted.
And he's also me. I was going to say like this
feels a bit self referential. If you were trapped in a U PS:
truck, I bet you $1,000,000 like that's what you can do it back
there. You'd be like wonder what's in
this package? Yeah, yeah.
I would be trying to solve the food and water thing.
And then once that became moot, I would, I would, I would make a
bunch of noisemakers so that people wouldn't know was in
there. And I would await rescue while
building a string quartet. But like, how Like feasibly, how
long do you think you could actually be stuck in the back of
a U PS: truck? Barring that, the truck was like
it like wasn't night because you'd like you could spend like
a night in a U PS:. Truck.
Yeah. You mean like before you died or
before somebody would find you? Before somebody would find you
because it's like, you know what I mean?
Because if I mean an accident UPS truck.
Yeah, like they're going to be coming in and out of there, you
know, swinging. Packages.
Like the freaking Wells Fargo wagon up in there, you know?
You're. Going to be parking and driving
really callously, just really cavalier.
But I don't know, I think you, I think you, I would be surprised
if if you got in like when the delivery driver, UPS driver like
gets off shift and like it's going in for the night, you can
spend the night in there. But like, dude, next morning,
somebody's coming in there. It's like, that's me all.
My little my little package instruments.
Yeah, it's like the people who, like, fall asleep on the
airplane and then it parks in like the airplane garage.
And then they're like, wow, no, I'm stuck on an airplane like
you. Dude, that's the thing.
Yeah, it's like, and it happened on school, on like, buses too.
Like school buses too. There's like you like, every
year there's like a couple of stories of a kid who like falls
asleep on a school bus and he like wakes up and he's like in
the school bus garage. Wasn't there?
There was a fucking book. Oh my God, core memory.
There was a book where some kid or group of kids like fall
asleep in a museum and it's like it gets closed.
Is it called Night at the Museum?
No it's not. No, it's called you are thinking
of from the mixed up files of Missus Basley Frankwater is what
you were thinking. About am I I don't know.
It's it's it's like a catered group of kids to get falls.
They they get stuck in museum and for some reason it's not
open for like a really long time.
So they have to like learn to live in the museum.
And I remember they would like feel.
Like you're talking about from the mixed up file.
I remember there was a scene where Ryan Ryan, they would
scour the fountain for coins and then use that money to go to the
vending machines. And I remember there's like a
scene where they exhausted all the coins from the fountain.
For the vending machine, it's the It's the children's novel.
Mix of files and misses, basically.
Frank Wyler. My Apologies.
The children's novel by Yale Conigsberg.
The follow The book follows siblings Claudia and Jamie
Kincaid as they run away from home to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in New York. City it.
Was published in 1967. And yeah, 11 year old Claudia
Kincaid just had to run away from home in Greenwich, CT
because she thinks her parents do not appreciate her.
And she goes to the Met and then she then then they like just
like hide in the Met and they live in the Met for a while.
That's awesome. Oh, they're hiding there.
That's right. They're not stuck there.
They're like deliberately there. Yeah.
And then they find the and then there's like, it's like a
treasure hunt thing where like they have to like, solve this
mystery and they wind up going to like, misses Frank Weiler's
house. Also, one of the reasons why I
like Library Cards is that movie.
Really. Yeah.
Really, I got I would not have gotten that book title in a
million years. I did not think that's what it.
Was yeah, 'cause after learning that they have been naive, the
children spend the last their money on travel to Missus
Frankweiler. So in Connecticut she recognizes
them as runaways, but sets them briefly to task of researching
the Angel from they they'd like. They're interested in this like
Angel sculpture from the files of Long Bank Bank of cabinets.
And they talk very specifically about how this old lady had all
these like cabinets with like all these like notes and shit.
And that is why now, as a whole, as adult, I have a very long
cabinet. Wow.
Which, by the way, thanks for God.
I'm so excited. You're welcome.
I'm looking at it now. It's fucking awesome, dude.
So. That's why I like coins and
fountains so much. I always think like, oh, if I
ever need change for a vending machine or whatever, jump, jump
in the Trevi, jump in the jump in the Trevi and grab all the
things. Yeah.
And oh, did you know that it is based on a true story?
Really, dude, some kids just had a fucking awesome little
adventure life, and that's sweet.
It was, there's a one page story in the New York Times in 1965
about how the Metropolitan Museum has purchased a plaster
and stucco statue from the Italian Renaissance for $225.
And they knew that they had gotten like a huge bargain.
And so she's like, why would somebody sell that statue for so
cheap? And that time is Frank Butler
was born. Oh, so it's not the kids being
stuck in the museum was not based on a true story?
No, there was, there was apparently another news article
where some kids ran away in like Yellowstone Park or something
and the editor like wrote a line about how his kids would only
run away to some place like the Met because they were like fancy
little fuckers, which I think was funny.
And they were like, oh, the book was born.
And the book was born. God it was so easy to get away.
I bet you could have done it. It was so easy to get away with
shit back. Then in the 60s, Oh my God,
dude, I would have been such a good criminal in like, even in
like the like the 30s, forties, 50s, you could get away with
anything. Yeah, it's amazing.
When I was a one of one of my like weird hyper focuses for a
while when I was younger was that movie Catch me If you can.
I was like, I'm going to be scams.
That's going to be my my, my career.
I'm going to be a scam guy. And now AI exists and facial
recognition existed. It's very rude.
Like how are criminals supposed to crime?
I know, right? Like you got to do boring crimes
now you got to be all like safe about it and use.
Like PPN? And whatever.
Boring Internet crimes and Internet crimes aren't exciting
like I want to do a heist. Yeah, I want to.
Steal a painting. I want to steal from the writ,
you know, I don't want to steal from like people I'm going to
steal from. Like yeah, I want to like.
Entities you know. Like, I want to steal art from
billionaires. Yeah, but frankly, I feel like I
would do, I would I, you know what I would be good at is I
would be good at like the, the like, man on the inside.
Like I would be the one who like, oh, she's a famous art
dealer. And I would go and I would be
like, oh, yes. And I'm, I buy my art from my
gallery and I would like, seduce the billionaire.
And then he'd be like, OK. And then I would just like sneak
out with the painting. That's what I would be.
Yeah, right. Have you seen that movie?
It's with Willem Dafoe. This is like both of the things
you were talking about. Willem Dafoe plays an art thief.
Oh, I know what movie you're talking about with the Apple.
Is it the Apple movie? On the on his face.
You're gesturing like there's an apple on his face maybe.
Doesn't he steal like the that apple?
The guy with like a bowler hat on the apple.
Yeah, who would do that? I don't remember.
Who did it? Art thieves maybe?
Brian. Brian Inside the movie.
Inside. Inside.
No, that's not the movie I was thinking of.
Yeah, Willem Dafoe is a an art thief who gets into these rich
people's apartment while they're away and then he gets locked in
and it's like a vault like thing.
So he has to like, drink the water from the sprinklers and
like, learn how to survive in this weird little apartment.
So weird that we would talk about art thief and being stuck
in a place and having learned survive there.
Dude, Willem Dafoe is way ahead of us, man.
Willem Dafoe is Willem Dafoe is way ahead of all of us.
Very only 2.3 stars. For what?
Inside. Inside.
Yeah, really. That I'm thinking.
Out of. Three stars, Apple Hat Movie,
Brian, The Thomas Crown Affair. That's what I was thinking of.
It wasn't. I believe it was Pierce Brosnan.
But like Pierce Brosnan, it's prime, not crusty, dusty Pierce
Brosnan. The Thomas in 1968.
No 19. 99. The same year as the cinematic
movie masterpiece The Mummy came out.
That's right. And Fight Club and the Matrix.
Bubs, do you know who's coming to to Dragon Con this year?
The Wells Fargo wagon. No.
Oded Fair who played he plays
Art of Fay, the guy with the tattoos in on his face in the
Mummy. Oh, that guy the the like super
tall like the guy the. Hot.
The hot guy, the hottest guy in the whole movie, The one who
deserved A prequel, who got fucking robbed.
The fact that there is no hardest thing.
The Magi. Yeah, he has the black thing or
the. Black.
Yeah, with the big face tattoos. Yeah, the cool face tattoos.
You know, and this tattoo that I have on my actual human body for
the rest of my life. Oh, that's right.
I kind of want to like I might pay for the, I never pay for
pictures like, but I was like, it'd be kind of funny.
It'd be kind of funny. Like will you put on this fake
tattoo from the movie and. Like, you really have that movie
you were in 20 years ago, 26 years ago.
Tire personality. I have AI, have a T-shirt and a
tattoo. And gay because of you.
Thank you. Oh, there's a thing that is
relevant. I don't know what I'm supposed
to. I don't know if I'm allowed to
talk about it. What There's a thing that is
being made that people I know are involved with and it's going
to be like the official version of this thing and it's going to
be kind of a big deal. And I think they're going to
they, this was talked about if it's the case, but I think they
might present it to the cast of The Mummy.
And so if like if I help in any capacity on that thing, I might
have an. Let me see like be.
In that room. I told Mike that if he doesn't
take me with him, we're not friends anymore.
Perhaps to. History he knows.
I don't know if it's happening more like I I think for a while
there was a thing of like they were going to present it.
To also I'm sorry I just blew my nose into my life.
Now, hey, you know what? It's fine.
I the reason I don't look shit
up on my, on my computer is because I, my microphone is on
the same surface as my thing. And I was listening yesterday to
some other episodes. Oh yeah.
And we I was just like, oh, let's see what that is.
It was very clacky keyboard. In my defense, I bought it
because it was clacky, and then I realized that was a really
stupid thing to do. It's really satisfying.
It is really satisfying. You know what I mean?
It is very satisfying. I want a wooden keyboard I.
Don't know wooden key. Do they make those, Brian?
Yeah, Oh yeah, dude. Well, like custom key caps are
like a whole thing. Oh yeah, I saw a girl make.
Oh yeah, they did make wooden keyboards.
Holy shit. Yeah, dude, Analog.
There's no electricity involved. No, I'm kidding.
There's totally. Electricity that feels fake.
There's totally electricity, but yeah.
I feel like, OK, but here's the thing.
I feel like a weird paper that you could write is the the like
how we got from Misses Basilie, Frank Weiler tonight at the
museum, because it's a direct that that's a Direct Line.
Yeah, I feel like it's like a Batman to magic people.
You, you don't remember how Batman, the way the Batman dress
directly influenced how magicians dress.
That's right. Right.
No, but close enough. What?
What is it? What is it?
I don't want. I've been.
I don't want. To be wrong.
There was a the guy who wrote this comic book about a French
cat burglar. The cab burglar dressed like
magicians because he was Harry Houdini's assistant, and that
guy later went on to rape Batman comics.
Oh, so it's the other way around.
Batman is the way that Batman is.
Because of the way the magicians would dress.
Yeah, like the like the like Bruce Wayne archetype is Harry
Houdini. That's really cool.
Like. The tux, Yeah.
Like the tux and the cool and the suave whatever.
Like the so so Harry Houdini's to Batman as that first lady
whose name I've already forgotten is tonight at the
museum, right? Totally.
Totally right I I gleefully await your extremely well
researched paper about it. I expect it on my desk on Monday
are. You giving me homework?
Were you sure? About that, I'm I would just
really, I don't know if you put your towel down, I shouldn't
talk to you like. Eric Elizabeth Rude.
I'm sorry. Oops.
What's up actually, do you can we talk about being horny for a
second or is that allowed Podcast?
I was doing some exploratory research on Quinn the other day
and I, you know, what I realized is I don't have the patience to
be horny. I feel like that's what the
problem is. I really, I really like because
I was like I was, you know, I was, I was scrolling through the
audios and there's a lot of different categories now on
Quinn. There there are new categories.
The the categories have blossoms and I'm like love that because
that means ever get where people are coming to Quinn and they're
getting like more specific. And I was like, that's fun and
interesting. I like that.
But like I was like scrolling through and I was like, Oh, then
click on this like little topic, because we all know that I'm
into this. And I was like boop.
And then I would like look at the time and they're like, Oh,
fucking like 54 minutes long. And I was like, I don't have 54
minutes to be interested in this pornography.
I have approximately 7 to 9 minutes.
That is how much time I have. But none of them are.
They're all too long. They're all really long because
people are in it for like the slow burn.
And I'm just like, I'm too, I'm too, I'm too bored to be horny.
And that's a really interesting. There are two subreddits that
I'd, I'd love to see like mixed together, but like in a Quinn
fashion. One, there's porn in 15 seconds,
which is, yeah, I don't think it's, it's not meant to be.
Well, maybe. I'm sure people fucking.
Is it like gifts? Yeah, it's, it's basically like
porn. Well, correct me if I'm wrong,
I'm sure you're looking at it right now, but it's like
basically a, a porno, but it's just like this is the opening
shot. This is this position, this is
that position and then they finish.
So it's just like a super cut. It's basically like a trailer
but I I I don't remember the prime of the OR why it came
about, but yeah, porn and 15 seconds 2. .1 million members, a
lot of people looking for efficient key.
Wow, so like that plus short scary stories where it's a scary
story, but it has to be 500 words or less.
So like a Quin thing, but it has to be, it's like a speed run.
It has to be 7 to 8 minutes or whatever.
Like I think there's, there's I think there's definitely a
market for that. I think, I think we should call
some of our voice actor friends and start cranking them out so
other people can start cranking them out in 10 to 15 seconds or
7 to 10 minutes, you know? Because that's the thing I'm
learning right now as I'm doing some preliminary research. 15
seconds too short. 54 minutes too long. 15 seconds too short.
You sure? There you go.
We're working with the the the concept of extremes, a very
useful thing to do. Very useful thing to do.
Also, Bubs, do you want to know a video that I made yesterday
that absolutely blew up in a way that I was not expecting?
It didn't do numbers, but the comments are absolutely fucking
wild. It's made a video about math and
how I have questions regarding fundamental issues in math.
And I was making the point of, like, like a word problem.
Like, if you have half pie and another half of pie, how much of
pie do you have? And I take issue with questions
like that because, like, what kind of pie?
And it was fascinating how many people in the comments were
like, yeah, actually like, yeah. And I felt really vindicated.
And I don't know why that's where my brain went, but I just
watched a lady's butt hole. And now I'm trying to change the
subject because I'm uncomfortable.
I was, I wasn't expecting it to just be the porn.
I don't know why I thought it was going to be like reviews.
I really thought it was going to be like in here in this 15th.
And there was no, because it's 15 seconds long.
They can just put them right on the front page.
And I was like, that's a butthole.
I wasn't emotionally prepared to see a.
Butthole it was. A good butthole.
It was a good. Like, you know what I mean?
Like some people have really nice like a butthole, some
people don't. But like it was a decent
butthole I guess. You know what I said?
I just got the very strong urge to seek out the definitely
existence extent, like scholarly head think pieces about like how
porn gets made the OR why porn gets made the way that it is,
You know, like a think of like a New York Times op-ed.
But it really dives in like as if it was there was just
regular, you know, regular movies like diving in a really
petty way about why? Well, because there's certain
like tropes in porn that just exist and they came from
somewhere, you know, like the names of positions or like, you
know, what's if, if you were going to like, like.
Trend, there's trends, there's trends that like come, like come
up and go away. And, and I did, I actually did
read a really interesting study about how you can track like a
like a economics and like world politics through like what's
trying to be in porn, which I think is.
Really interesting, yeah, like, because the the sort of meme
version of it now is like step bro, you know, and it's like
there's not that many people out there who have a step sister
that they also want to have such.
I mean there's some percentage of people, but it's not like
most people. Like that's a really specific
situation that is now just like one of the most common like porn
titles. It's not like the porn is
generally like very different. It's just at some point they'll
say like whatever step bro, you know, it's like such a meme now,
but like, how the fuck did that start?
Like it's. What I well, OK, actually, this
is really OK. Not, I'm not trying to, I
promise I'm not trying to get like scholarly about it.
But I did read a really like, I literally was reading an article
about like CNC, like consensual non consent.
And there there was a discussion about the like CNC is just like
a, like a like a complex topic to talk about.
But the, the argument that was being presented is that it is
not necessarily that like people are super excited about the idea
of like being sexually assaulted, right?
Like that's not what CNC is about.
At its core, CNC is presenting a situation in which you are so
desirable. You are so wanted, you are so
unbelievably desirable and wantable that that people will
eschew every single societal taboo and rule in order to have
you. And so it was this really
interesting argument about like, is it?
It's, it's not about that. It's the fact that like we are,
we now live in a society in which like, like we, we are
really inhibited from touch. We, we, we struggle with these
ideas of like consent and like, may I hug you, May I touch you,
whatever and what is what? And that's good.
And I think that's very important.
But people are becoming increasingly isolated because of
the fear of like overstepping or whatever.
Whereas like if you go to other countries to go to like Europe,
if you go to Japan or whatever, like, you know, people hug each
other. They, they touch each other.
They're very like touch aware in those cultures, whereas in
America we've become very like individualized and so like the
rise and like step bro CNC content isn't necessarily about
like, oh, I want to fuck my sister or my step sister or oh,
I want to sexually assault somebody.
It's about that idea of like eschewing the societal taboos in
order to feel this like profound need to like I have to have you
right now and I can't not. And I think that is interesting.
That is really interesting. Yeah, I mentioned it's sort of
a, I'm thinking of like like in comedy clubs or something like
that where it's like, you know, sometimes the comedian will like
go too far. And that's, you know, and it's
like, OK, but when you go to a comedy club, you're sort of in
this understanding that like, hey, we're just going to say
some shit and see what's funny, whatever, whatever.
We're going to put the other stuff aside for now, which makes
it sort of an interesting sort of sacred space.
And obviously, sometimes comedians absolutely go fucking
too far. Again, it's like consent
matters. Consent matters in the same way
that it's. A scholarly argument.
It's like, yeah, it and I, I get it.
Yeah. Or like even like, like a horror
movie, like when I don't want to watch people, bad things happen
to people. Really.
Like actual bad things happen to actual people.
I don't. I don't want that at all, but I
engaging with that like concept and being like, what if I'm I'm
going to put those parts of me aside that like has empathy and
stuff and just enjoy this weird fucked up story.
Like I don't know, I always like I'm not like super crazy into
CNC, but in the parts of my brain that are, that's a lot of
it. It's like engaging with
something that in most circumstances would be very not
pleasant and not cool, but in the very structured way.
So like, oh, I get to poke around with it because I think
also like as much as the social contract and, you know, asking
people if you can hug them and touch them as much as that is
absolutely a good thing. It is a lot of effort all the
time, you know, and I think in a in a sexual circumstance,
putting of that stuff aside, you know, I don't know, just can be
very. Cool and fun.
Exactly. And that's also kind of why I
think huge throwback to Sunny when we were on Sunny
Megatron's. American Sex and a.
Long time ago, we're talking about like consent being sexy.
And Sunny, Megatron said. Like consent isn't necessarily
sexy. It's just necessary, you know,
like it doesn't have to be said Sometimes it's just you just got
to do it. Well, I mean, you got to do it
every time, but you know what I mean?
Like sometimes it doesn't have to be sexy.
You just got to do it. But I think parts sometimes,
like express consent is extremely sexy for that reason.
Like, holy shit, this person is letting me do this thing that is
normally socially totally not, but this person is stating
explicitly like, yes, it is OK if you do that.
Like, that's really cool, you know, like, that's awesome.
I remember where I was going with that, but that's OK.
I just hadn't heard my own voice for a little while, so Oh my
God. It's been so hard for you, yeah.
It was. Really hard man, are you OK?
It was really hard. I was at the center of attention
for like a couple minutes. That's right.
Well, and also it's like one of the reasons why I'm so excited
to go back to school because like some of the classes are
specifically about that, like, how do you navigate
conversations around these like more difficult topics of like
CNC or like Step Pro or whatever?
And I'm just like, I'm so excited to take those classes.
Like I have like, you know, my own ideas, but it's like, what
is the research actually say like, what are we actually
learning? And it's like, turns out that
everybody is like a little bit weird and it's OK.
And maybe we just stop judging. Actually, it's kind of the end
of it. Yeah, I think it's kind of
funny, like I'm thinking of like the 100% healthy person, you
know, that everything they have is not only within normal range,
it's like exactly whatever the medical.
Number is supposed to. Be exactly like that person
almost certainly does not exist and likely will never exist, but
it's a useful like concept to compare ourselves to, you know,
like, Oh, my blood pressure is high compared to this assumed
perfect fucking person. And I feel like we kind of do
that when it comes to sex, like the vanilla like that is regular
and then everything else is like divergent, you know, it's weird.
It's like, no, I think everybody's a little weird.
Like a lot of people might not engage with the fact that
they're weird. They might be in like denial or
they just don't want to or whatever.
They're doing their own thing. But I think I think a lot of us
are. I think I don't think anybody's
just straight up regular. I don't know.
I have such a rant about that because it's like very specific
thing happened to me very recently.
So I was doing an interview and it was about in like ADHD and
kink. And I very quickly realized that
I had like the the premise that the interviewer was approaching
ADHD and kink with is like, well, kink is for fucking
weirdos, kinks for weird, freaky, weird, freaky losers
with trauma. And so.
But like, what if instead of thinking about kink like it's
for weird, kinky, weird fucking losers with trauma, we just
approached it as like a natural type of human sexuality.
And I was like, yes. Yeah.
That's that's it is. I'm sorry, have we not been
doing? That and like, and it was like
it was exhausting because I was doing this interview and I was
like, OK, so let's let's back all the way up to the very
beginning. Like being kinky is not weird.
It was part of the natural human spectrum.
Not everybody is into kink. And yes, kink has been like
pathologized and like people have some really bad takes
around kink, but like it's part of it.
Like it is on the spectrum of normal, you know what I mean?
And like, I had to be like, God damn it, you guys.
And then like all of the questions they were asking me is
like, but what if instead of getting a spanking being like
super perverted and weird, what if it was like really good for
neurodivergent people to like get in their body?
And I was like, yes. Like not what if, just yes, I
was. Like, yes, that's yes, we know
that. Like we we know that that's that
we know that already, like can we?
And it was just the whole interview was like, but what if
they're not weird little for me? Like what are we fucking doing?
Man, I mean I guess props to that if that's their mindset,
props to them for having you on. You know, I was like, I like, I
think, I think I at least managed to get my point across
decently, but I was like, it was rough.
It was rough for a minute. I honestly, this might just be
because of like the circles I run in, but I haven't had a
conversation with somebody about sex in general where they were
not in some way something that we would call kinky.
Yeah, well, in my adult life, I mean, not even just like since
doing this, but like. How do you define kinky like And
this is the other. This is the hill that I was out
right. And also, I swear to God, this
is what I, what my dissertation is going to be on.
I've decided because here's one of the things it's like we
define kink as like practices outside the sexual norm, but
like how far outside of this sexual norm, which by the way, I
would also argue as much like neurotypicality, like it doesn't
fucking exist, but like how far outside of the norm are you
claiming that kink is, right? So it was like, is a blindfold
kink? Is a blind Can a blindfold just
be a normal part of sex and intimacy for some people?
Right, Like, you know, whips and chains and, and going to the
BDSM club, sure, we'll put that on the like the farther end of
kinky, but it's like a little light spanking, a little light
choking in the bedroom. Like is that actually kinky?
How are we defining it? And I think one of the
fundamental flaws about the way that we discuss sex and
intimacy, especially in America, especially when so much of like
sex and intimacy is like politicized and politics and all
that stuff. I think that they're like the
actual spectrum of kink is way broader and way more expansive
than we actually talk about. Because we're talking about
people who are like a little, a little spank in the bedroom and
they're like, oh, that's so kinky.
And we're putting them in the same category as people who are
doing like edge play or race play.
And I'm like, those are vastly different categories.
And so if you start calling everything that isn't just face
to face missionary kinky, it like the, the equation starts
crumbling. And so you know what I mean?
And so it's like, I, I think dividing stuff into like kinky
or not kinky is super, super useless and is actually
preventing people from getting the education and the resources
that they need, especially neurodivergent people.
I really do. I really do think that because
it's like people are like, Oh, I don't want to look up spanking
because that's kinky and kinky's for weird little perverts.
And it's like, no, it's, it's somatic.
It's a somatic experience that is connecting your body to what
is happening in the moment. That's I don't feel like that's
that fucking kinky. But because we have decided that
spanking is like in the kink category, it's so dumb.
I get so heated about this. Fucking what's that movie with
Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston?
Meet the parents. Not meet the parents.
It's like, is it a long came Polly maybe?
Oh yeah, maybe. That's that's that's that's the
going to be the chapter if in My Autobiography, that's going to
be the chapter where we meet. No, but it's going to be Poly.
So it's like. It's actually really good,
isn't? That funny along came out.
Really good. It's funny.
Did you just keep come up with that or you didn't sit?
On that I did. Well, I mean, that movie exists,
but yeah, I. Just came over there.
Along came Polly. That's really good.
Right. It's like I was really just felt
kind of. But then along came Polly and it
was like, Oh my God, dude, the world can be so much different
than I thought it had to be, right?
But there's a scene when Ben Stiller's character and Jennifer
Aniston's character like making out and he, he spanks.
Oh, he just. Like the little Yeah, I know I
can. Picture it.
I can hear it because, I mean, because I was, you know, an
early teen when I saw that movie.
So I was already very into that scene.
And I remember there's a game and she, like, Jennifer
Aniston's character, like, stops and goes, like, did you just
spank me? And he was like, yeah, you know,
I think his friend, like, told him to like, try spank or
whatever. But either way, it was like a
thing, you know, it was like a thing that like he had to
convince Ben, Ben Stiller's friend had to like convince him
to try. And then he did.
And then that like halted the thing.
And she was like, did you just spend, you know?
And I think she was like, she was fine with it, but it was
like a thing that happened. And so like even now, like if
I'm making out with somebody, if I'm making out with you, well,
not you, because I know you were five years, but like, you know,
I'll still think of that as being like a like, OK, we're,
we're, we're jumping over a line here and it's like.
That's like just so I can ask about it beforehand.
Just be like, hey. Hey, are you into like, you
know, and you don't even have to couch it as like spanking.
That's the other thing. It's like it's, it's the same
difference as like massage. Like at what difference does a
massage stop being a massage and start being kink?
It's it's infinitely variable depending on the person, right?
Because like for me, a regular massage, like there are people
who would be like, we got to shut this down because like just
the way that my body is in the way that my like fucking jacked
up nervous system is I need an incredibly heavy touch to get
any sort of enjoyment out of a massage.
And so there's some people like, Oh my God, like they have to go
so hard. That's kinky.
And I'm like, no, that's just what my body needs in order to
like facilitate my muscles doing what I need them to do.
And it just, you know what I mean?
And it's just like you don't have to talk about it, Like
kinky or not kinky and like. I don't know why I'm like on
this kick right now, but. No, no, I I think it's, it's
because it makes it in it, it imbues it with like a bunch of
hang ups that it. Doesn't need to have like it
endows it with, meaning that doesn't need to be there.
Exactly like if if you have, you know, hesitance towards like
impact play or something like that's cool, but you're hesitant
shouldn't be social, you know, well, I mean, short or
shouldn't. I don't want to ascribe like
shorter shouldn't to it, but it that it it doesn't necessarily
have to be a social thing like oh, am IA kinky person like it's
like it's a matter of identity or something.
Like that. It's like if I, if I like it,
that means that I'm kinky and they're going to start.
I have to start showing up in the dungeon.
It's like, no. Yeah, I mean, it's also it's
it's a lot like just sexuality in general.
Like, am I straight? I guess probably.
I've never like been super attracted.
But like, dude, I could walk out of my house today and fall madly
over the living fucking love with a dude and we fucking ride
off into the sunset. Well, that'd have to be cool,
being Polly, because. Well, yeah, I was like to do
that. I would miss you.
No, I mean. Temporarily into the sunset,
like we can take two weeks of sunset at a time.
Yeah, and then I ride back and then we ride off into the
sunset. It'll be a great.
Time we'll just we'll put together a Google Calendar.
So like, that's, that's just true.
Like I have not met every single man.
And so I don't know, the data shows that, yeah, probably what
people call straight, but what's the point of that fucking
distinction? Like on some level, like
language is useful. Like, you know, if I go to a
like a gay bar with a friend or something like that, it would be
useful to be like, hey, just so you know, it is extremely
unlikely that I would be interested in hooking up with
you. So like, it's, it's, it's
probably a waste of your time to try.
Like, I guess that's useful. But ultimately as a matter of
like me and my own identity and how I feel about myself, it's,
it's just as I have no use for that calling myself straight or
whatever. In the same way that I think,
you know, there might be some sexual practices that would
greatly enhance a person's relationship with their partner
or with themselves that because now it's a matter of identity.
Like, am I kinky? It becomes a whole thing when it
absolutely doesn't have to. Yeah.
So I, I think there's a frustration there that I, I, you
know, I might forget it. Yeah, Dude, I can't wait.
I don't read the. Shit of that dissertation, bro.
I'm gonna call it Ala carte. Cool.
Rondo Ala carte. No, I like it.
That is. That's cool.
I like it. Also, I don't know if it's
coming through the zoom meeting but our neighbors have just
started listening to very loud, very bass heavy music.
I can hear it. It's not coming through the
thing. All right, cool.
But it's just it's going to pick up on my thing and I'm going to
have to get rid of it. I can, I've got the radio tower
is still broadcasting rap music into my headphones, but I assume
does. It really I forgot about that.
Yeah, it's great because I have like, weird, like I have like
background music all the time whenever I'm recording, but it's
just like, I hope this isn't getting picked up on the mic.
No, I it's not. At least I'm too zoomed or
whatever. No, no.
I did put one of those like. Oh, Ferrite.
Yeah, you know. Ferrite ring.
Yeah.
Thank you for knowing what that hand signal meant.
That's actually crazy. Could have been a lot of other.
Things ferrite rings out of this.
Well, you said put it on the thing in reference to radio
signals and that's that would be the thing that you would put on
little fairite ring. Little fairite ring.
I can't decide if I want my armrest to be up or down and I'm
really struggling with. I don't know.
Whoa. I don't.
I don't even. I'm pretty wiggling today.
I'm a wiggly guy today. Dude, I can't stop thinking
about that vile, that trumpet violin.
You should make one dude. I'm thinking about it.
It's it's like I can see immediately how it works.
Yeah. What I need to get good at is
bending metal and making. You got to tubes and stuff.
You got to expand your metal bending.
I do, I really do, because that's, that's shock.
Capacities. Yeah, that's a very.
Consistent A metal Bender like an Would that be an earth
Bender? Yeah, metal bending is a
subsection of of earth bending. Is they can you do they have
like dirt benders and metal benders or like are all dirt
benders also metal benders? That earth benders are like born
like they they have to learn like technique and stuff, but
their ability to do that is innate.
But then learning to identify the earth in metal such to bend
metal is like a whole. It's like a learn.
It's like a blacksmith. It's like an elite thing, like
you have to be highly trained to be able to do that.
Also I still please explain to me why not all water benders are
blood benders? It's immoral.
Thing it's it feels like, it feels like the the what?
The fucking vada cadabra. Like it's like, no, this curse
is bad. You're not allowed to eat this.
Yeah, I mean it's. All fucking blood has a bunch of
water in it. So, hypothetically speaking.
Yeah, exactly right. You can just fucking, you know.
Not to mention. Immediately, that was what I
thought. Immediately.
When they were like water bending, I was like, I would
just fucking ice the fucking water out of people's lungs.
Like boom done, dead. Oh yeah?
Well dude, in the Legends of Korra the IT takes place 100
years after the events of Avatar the Last.
Airbender, we watched that, right?
I feel like we watched. Have we watched I?
Have we watched she? Plays she plays the weird like.
Sport. Yeah, the sports, the game,
yeah. I don't think we finished the
first season, but yeah, we've watched it.
But I like that the fighting styles developed like in a way
that they would given what's been invented.
Like basically the industrial revolution happens in between
the two things. And so they use bending in very
practical ways where like their transit systems are just, you
know, there there's a metal Bender is like the conductor of
the train and he's just pulling the train, you know, like that
kind of thing. But they're also they're
fighting styles developed. So there's like an air bending
scene where somebody just like puts just removes the air from
around their head so they can't breathe.
That's like thing. That's what I was immediately.
I was like, how can I DND this? Like, Oh yeah, yeah.
Also, do you want to hear a really funny Avatar story?
I feel like I told you the story already, but I'm going to tell
you it again because I thought it was kind of funny.
So I was at Champion's Grove when we were talking about,
like, TV shows that we'd like grown up with and stuff.
And Avatar came up and everybody was like talking about Avatar
and how much they loved Avatar. And I was like, oh, yeah, I
actually just watched Avatar like a year or so ago, Like I'd
never seen it before. And everybody got real quiet
because, like, who hasn't seen Avatar if you're a fucking nerd,
right? And then this goes, oh, I was in
that, like, what? He was like, yeah, that was an
Avatar. I wasn't like episodes.
And then I looked it up and I'm like, yeah, Jason was in like 8
episodes of Avatar. What?
Jason bearded bar Jason. Jason Charles Miller, yeah.
Dude. Yeah, that's awesome.
He was like, yeah, you know the guy who says there is no war in
bossing Fay? That was me.
And I was like. No, what?
And it was really funny and I was like, that's cool.
And I was like, and then I had to immediately go teach a
character voice workshop and I was like why the fuck am I the
person? There is no war in.
Bossing. He did that.
That was him. That's so cool.
What was the other one? He told me all the lines.
He didn't have like a ton of lines, but all like most of the
lines that he had was like iconic.
He was not the Mike Cabbages guy.
I almost started crying. I was like, did you, were you
the Cabbages guy? He was like, no, I was like,
well then I don't give a shit. I I'm going to get if we ever
meet the Mike Cabbages guy. What?
Was my mind I'm. Going to have a real hard time
being cool and I'm sure he's used to it, but.
Like did you, did you see the? Sorry, I totally interrupted
you. No, not at all did.
You see the mom who met Brody the dog, Oh my God.
So there was this girl and she was getting married and her mom
is like the biggest Brody fan in the entire world.
And so they messaged him and they're like, hey, we saw that
you're like in the same town where like this wedding is
happening. Like, is there any chance that
you could bring Brody by? And the guy was like, sure.
So he brings Brody to this wedding.
The mom, like, you know, Kristen Bell, when she meets a slosh, it
is like that level of just like screaming, crying, throwing up,
like freaking out. And all of the comments were
like, well, it's a good thing everyone stayed calm.
Like, well, it's a good thing she didn't overreact.
And I was like, you guys don't understand.
If I saw Brody, if I met Brody, that would be like, I would not
be well, I would not be OK, like.
Yeah, there are a couple like dream surprises I have for you,
where like if I could ever make this happen for like your
birthday or just whenever. It wouldn't mean tea like and
hippo and hippo. Hippo lives in LA like and we're
all so mutuals. And I feel like I could probably
just be like, hey, like, but I feel like it probably will be
OK. Like we follow each other
forever. I bet they would.
I mean, just go hang out, get coffee, you know well and.
She the, the cool dog park that's like down in like Santa
Monica, that's like where she belongs.
And so I was like, I wanted to go to that one anyway.
And I was like, I wanted to be like, Hey, is there a chance we
could do like a little meet up? And could you imagine Bailey and
Hippo meeting? Yeah, well, I am now.
Oh my gosh. Greatest day of.
Like I would, I would fucking melt.
Yeah. I, I, I debate when I'm like, I
can't sleep at night. And I imagine like arranging
surprises for you and stuff like that.
I have to like wonder. I have like categories of
surprises where it's like, OK, that one can be a genuine
surprise. That one.
I should warn you first like in advance, at least like a month
so that you have time to like mentally.
I feel like the problem is like, you can tell me all day long to
emotionally prepare myself, but I don't.
I'd like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm good.
When I would get there and I'd be like, I'm gonna freak out.
Yeah, my biggest 1, and I'm only going to say this because it's
so unlikely that it'll happen, but who knows, is for you to
meet Elmo. Oh.
My God. Like we're like, we're on a
sound stage and you like, turn the corner and it's just Elmo.
I've literally my entire life, I've literally like since I was
a child, I was like, maybe someday I'll guess we meet Elmo.
Since I was a kid, that's been like my #1.
So I have I have Elmo's hand in this very apartment.
There's AI like the thing that you just like, severed it, like
Titus and Drum. Like.
Yeah, you try to steal from me. No.
No, I think yeah, you it's over on the on the.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's the mold that they would use.
It's, it's cast from the mold that they use for like certain
close-ups and stuff. Like if he actually has to have
fingers, you know? Yeah, Mike Moore, dude.
Almost little thingies. Almost little thingies.
I also have Kermit's mouth. There's only a couple of people
who are who are authorized to, like make actual Muppets, like
real ones that are officially Muppets.
And I helped one of those guys clean out his shop.
And so occasionally I would just hold something up and I'd be
like, what's this? And he goes, oh, that's the
master for Kermit's mouth. Like it's exactly, exactly.
And I don't mean like screen grabs took measurements.
I mean from depends and people like it is exactly Kermit's
mouth. So I don't know.
I don't think I'm supposed to have that, but I don't know.
I just I just keep it around and look at it.
I think it's. Cool.
You have like, it's like a part of history.
Yeah, you know, if they ever I I have like a fantasy of like
we've lost all the, you know, Kermit's mouth when oh, it's
lost to time like the library of Alexandria and I'm like, Nope,
sorry. I bring up.
Library of Alexandria, Toy Story 2.
What? Happened, I can't remember if it
was like Toy Story 2 or Toy Story 3, but like something
happened where they had like almost finished the entire movie
and like the system crashed and all of the files got deleted.
And the only reason that we have Toy Story 2 is because like some
woman was on vacation and had it like on her laptop and she
wasn't like really supposed to, but she wanted to work during
vacation so she made a backup copy.
And that's why we have like, Toy Story 2.
Dude, what a weird day that must have been for her.
Like she's like, hey. Do I save this whole project and
admit to doing something I very much was not supposed to do or?
Yeah, like what was that other like Wallace and Gromit, didn't
they lose a lot of their original stuff?
There was like a fire. Maybe.
Oh, that's fucking devastating. Yeah, I feel like there's not
like, like there's like a big fire or something and they lost
like a lot of the original. I know.
Well, I did know that. The series finale of The
Sopranos is only the way that it is because Todd Chavez from
Bojack Horseman uses it to escape out of his girlfriend's
window when her dad comes home. And he rips off like the last
last, like, you know, 30 frames or so.
So that's true. That's a real thing that
happened. That feels real, although.
Not so deep cut. So much and it's annoying
because I was just talking about how great I feel and then it is
super uncomfy today. It's storming there, isn't it?
Yeah, it's talking. Annoying and I wish it were
storming here. Yeah, what's the weather like
today? Yeah, super nice day.
Like super nice day. I haven't gone to the park in a
while too. I'm gonna go to the park.
For my. For my mental health, there's a
like a stupid. Walk for your stupid mental
health. Yeah, they're like these soccer
guys there that play there like seemingly every day dog.
Park. No, not the dog park at like
just the regular park by the by the library in North Hollywood.
North Hollywood. But they wear what are they
called pennies, like the little really light.
Or like the yeah, like the little yeah pennies.
Maybe pennies, I think. I haven't thought about that in
forever. But they wear things so we we
know who's on what team when I go.
Well, yeah. Do you play soccer with them?
No, I don't, I don't play soccer now.
I'm just, you know, watch. But we, you know, we can tell
who's on what team. So you can like pick a team and
root for him you. Should get like aggressively
excited about one team. For like I do, well, I always
root for orange because they're orange vests and they're they're
all speaking Spanish to each other like the whole time.
So I go like, just like let's go orange.
Like let's go like. And I just get super excited.
And whenever they score a goal, I'm like, yeah, it's awesome.
It's really fun. But they're like really
organized about it. Like it's always the same people
and they're like, you show up. A little Soccer League on.
Yeah, there was one. There was one where a guy scored
a goal and he like just they're like they're not full size
goals. They're like little little guys
and he just fucking blasts ball like he was, he was fully over.
He just blasts it and he hit the goal and it hit the back of the
net and it shot. It hit the whole net.
It pulled it back like 3 feet and like it tipped over.
And just the look of pride on that tooth fucking face, man.
Oh my God, it was awesome. He wasn't on, He wasn't on
orange, so I didn't cheer super loud.
Well, sweetie, that's that's that's just about an hour for
us. Dude, do you want to do you want
to call ZZ? You're also sorry I'm I'm.
Stretching. You're.
Scratching. No, I said, stretching.
Oh, stretching, OK. Professional, consummate
podcasting, professional Kitty as always.
Sometimes you got it dude. Sometimes you're going to stand
up and stretch in the middle of your podcast, and I will not
apologize for that. I notice when I get antsy too
sometimes. I mean, antsy.
It just hurts. Like all my fucking joints just
fucking hurt. But yeah, OK, it's OK, I'll
live. I'm so sorry.
It just sounds like I'm patronizing you.
I'm sorry. I really am sorry that you were
hurt. I just, it's my stupid hit, man.
But it is really, I'm super excited to go back to the doctor
and be like, hey, this shit still hurts.
So clearly, yeah, there's probably still a problem.
Go fuck yourself, guy. Oh my God dude, I feel like you
should almost record that and just post it just just to
scratch that itch for like thousands and thousands and
thousands of people are like ha ha ha.
Fuck, I told you. We told you every fucking time.
Please explain.
Yeah. OK.
I feel like we can call it here. Yeah.
Do you have anything that you want to ask for during nurse?
We wrote a book that's pretty cool you called.
It's called The ADHD Field Guide for Adults.
I almost said the old title. I know I was like.
Every time. I don't want to say the old
title but what are you going to do?
So that's cool you could pre-order it now.
Secret title, you're not a fuck out.
Cool. We're trying not to talk about
it too much because it still doesn't come out until March
3rd. Of next year, I want to say
March 8th. It might be.
I think it's March 3rd actually. Something happened.
Whenever you hear a date and it just feels significant.
You're like, oh, that was the day that what's like, why is it
that's like someone's birthday or something?
March 8th feels that way. Yeah, it does.
Actually. I feel like it was because maybe
it was the day that they first talked about changing it to and
then they changed it to the third.
Hey, if your birthday is March 8th, let us.
Knowyesyeahemailusinfinitequest@gmail.com. Yeah,
infinitequestpodcast@gmail.com. Yeah.
Or ask at infinitequestpodcast.com.
What else? I have a couple of things.
Oh, if you're not listening to my new podcast, newish is is as
new as a strong word at this point, but it's called sorry, I
missed this and it's more educational than this.
We talked about ADHD, its impact on sex, intimacy and
relationships, and it's currently paying my bills.
So if you want to give a listen, that would be rad.
If you wanted to give it a review and be like, holy shit,
this is the best podcast that I've ever heard in my entire
life. I also wouldn't be upset.
That would be cool. You could do that.
You could go live review. I think that's all the
announcements I have. Cool dragon con is.
Happening. Yeah.

episode is coming out. Well, that's true.
Yeah, we'll be a dragon con. I guess we can just say that.
