Like getting all the work. Are you doing?
I'm thirsty. I gave all my water to the
plants. There's a, there's a red
Powerade that's been sitting there for a couple weeks.
Yeah, probably, hey, the perks of clutter, I shout out to
Tuesday's episode, right? We're good.
Yeah, if you are just joining us here on infinite Quest, this is
he I mean I don't say it's like part 2 but this is ties into the
episode that we did on Tuesday. But let's be honest if you're
here you probably listen to Tuesday's episode and if you're
not send us an email and ask it in front of course podcast.com
and tell us what you're doing here.
Yeah that also find us where were you from?
What's going on? How's your day would you have
for breakfast and use the subject line that in the subject
line? Tell us your least favorite
color. Lot of people, ask about
favorite colors, not people ask about least favorite colors, my
least favorite. Is olive green.
I think that's what that's what I was picturing my head.
Yeah, it makes me uncomfortable. Yeah, I don't like olive green.
I mean, aside from like color combinations, like a really
vibrant green with like really vibrant red text on it.
Yeah like okay, why are you a Christmas are good?
Hates Christmas is cancelled. Fuck now, the Fox News is going
to come oh boy, Tucker Carlson's gonna call you up like Tucker
Carlson. He grabbed me by the bow tie.
Hi talents Tucker. Carlson to find a Denny's
parking lot. Yeah, no he didn't.
He doesn't wear bowties anymore. Jon Stewart, roasted the bowties
right off of him. Really?
Yeah, Dura. See that.
Oh, man, Tucker Carlson Sarge's. I went to girls on the podcast
Tucker. Carlson used have a show called
Crossfire in the mid-2000s and the premises.
I mean, it was a Fox News, bullshit, whatever show and they
had Jon Stewart on as a guest because he would talk shit about
their show so much, so he had Jon Stewart on as a guest and
bad calls this. I was But I would very badly for
them. He shredded them so hard to
their face like them in their show to their face and not in,
not even like a mean way wasn't like yelling or even like, well,
I'm serious. Fuck.
He just man the way he, right? Keeps his cool.
He just said the case. He's like, no, your show is not
a debate show, your show is a political theater show where you
like, and he just laid out this whole thing and at one point he
makes a joke about his bow ties and Tucker Carlson's one the
show. Got canceled and to Tucker
Carlson stop wearing boat. Sighs.
So Jon Stewart roasted took crossed so hard.
He lost his show and his bow ties, I think it's beautiful.
I also would like to thank you for getting me Crossfire song
stuck in my head. I don't know what that song is.
A classic game from the 90s is a craze called Crossfire.
And the song went like this, Crossfire you'll get caught up
in the crossfire, okay, caught up in the crossfire crossbars
and Subaru vertebra. And then it was it was a gay,
was a commercial for a toy. And it was called Crossfire was
a toy. It was like, it was like a like
a game and you would like shoot little discs or something.
It was like, it was like a, it was like Hungry, Hungry Hippos,
but different. I was that just made me think of
the this might have been just after your toes might be like
our age Gap showing but there was a toy that was it was a
little Skee-Ball kind of thing with like the circles and the
holes in it. But in front of, it was a tiny
little trampoline and you got these like ball bearings, these
metal ball bearings and you would bounce it on the
trampoline. And try to get it into one of
those very small thing. It was like, you know, but I
wanted that fucking toy and I think I can hear my head right
now and I imagine some of you dear listeners can as well,
there's a Timbre with which the person.
Narrating the, the the commercial says, trampoline,
who's trampoline Lenny, trampoline?
It's like a whole thing, and it's now in my head.
Anyways, I wanted that toy just for the little steel balls.
I still, I love little steel balls.
If somebody wants to, I'm getting you for Christmas, are
you rolling a ball bearing? So dude, a bag of like Marble
sized ball bearings. Holy shit really?
Yeah, it's like he has it has is his parents house and I like dug
out of the closet one day and I was like you are fucking cross
all your fucking bra and then we like play cross her for like a
day and it'll be fun. Anyway, welcome to infinite
Quest. Hi everybody.
Well I forgot I forgot. I honestly forget if we did the
insurer not. So just in case we didn't you.
Well, welcome to infinite Quest. Thanks for being here.
It's usually like this will you got it?
You got it. No, the unity.
The second entry. You go.
Hi it's me. Katie asaurus?
That's your hi. Everybody.
It's me. Katie asaurus.
Yes. Hello it's me.
Hey good and welcome back to infinite question a quest.
Okay. This is fucked up that forever.
Let's flee. Tax, the tradition.
It's a joke. I say hi.
Katie to let you know that I've got enough room sound to cut out
the room sound. Well, so I always very started
and then you said, hi everybody. I'm hey good first, because he's
completely wrote because you didn't say the thing, and I was
like trying to get us. It's Monday.
There was trying to get his momentum for the week.
I really enjoy that. This is a top Until I Left
podcast and this is how we behave successful podcasters.
That's weird. You bumps.
You know what else? Also on, oh I guess I can't now
it's the secret, never mind. Oh, I was going to say, you
know, the thing that we're doing on Wednesday, we do, but I don't
think we can talk a talk about yet.
Now, I feel like we talked about writing a book.
Yes, we rise. It's been a long time.
It's been a long slow process. SS.
But yeah, we're running a book. Yeah, we're ready.
We're signing a thing also. This is starting their we're
having meetings. Yeah.
Very fancy money is starting to move around in various places.
Money is moved. Money is moved.
That's yeah, it's really, it's happening.
I don't know why. I just said that like twice
totally. Do you like, even what it's
going to be called or anything yet, so we can't like sweet.
It's, I don't know it yet. Eric won't let me name it
handbook for the recently diagnosed and I think that's
bullshit. It's gotta be the Beetlejuice
reference. I know it, make the call.
Look like the beautiful but it's not for the recently diagnosed.
It's for anybody who has ADHD or anybody.
Who knows? Anybody caught it, we like
handbook for the recently diagnosed a stroke or anybody
who has ADHD or like somebody who has ADHD or doesn't like
anybody who has ADHD but still wants to learn about it.
Yeah, it'd be funny if it was like the title would be one of
the title is and then the: like a handbook for the recently
diagnosed, but then it asterisk and then it just a bunch of
paragraph that just like sort of Fades out like the Star Wars
intro. Every kind of funny and New York
Times bestseller and that would get me to stop in a bookstore
and look at it because I'd be like, what does the text say?
Oh, I would be curious. I want to read as much of it as
I could like. What if we wrote the entire
book? Like the Star Wars scroll Okay,
that's really good idea. You have to operate one of those
machines. They're like an old-timey
machine at Gia Rama is that the one where you spend the thing
and it gives the background. Do I get to talk about it to
your Abba yah? I'm oh my God it was you haven't
challenged me to make one. Okay.
So John banford was a guy now I want to do the whole thing but
Gia Rama's are really interesting if you ever have
like a guard, John Bain bird was the guy who invented the gr Emma
and who should be aware. So one of the first artists in
the country to be a millionaire Because of his art and then he
lost all of his money. Any it was sad but ending a sad
but very interesting story and his gr Emma was like a I think
it was like a mile. It was like Rachel.
Yeah, it was super long. Is that did he make the full
sized ones of the used behind like actors?
Or did you use like the small ones?
Not gonna make it sighs one. It was like a journey down the
Mississippi and so he would certainly.
If you don't know, we're talking about.
We're supposed to be talking about finishing projects, but I
guess we'll talk about dioramas first.
So Gia Rama's our picture, what is essentially like?
A paper towel roll. But the paper towel is rolled at
both ends and so the cape like yeah, he's just oh yeah, that's
a much better example. So it's like a VHS tape but
sideways and so then basically what they would do is they would
paint a scene along the canvas and then they would roll it up.
And then you would turn a crank and the guy like would stand in
front of the thing and be like do do do here, I am on the
Mississippi and then somebody would turn the crank and then
like the painting would would roll up and so it would look
like you know, the scenery was changing.
Is called Jaya Rama. It's really cool musical about
it and didn't jump, they make, they might be called the same
one but they make smaller ones that are more sort of like
Novelties for like for like telling stories to children or
like Papa chose thing around puppet show, there's like I
think they're called hand cranks Cranky's or something.
They have like a cute name. Yeah, I was gonna say I think
they have a cuter and lanky or something.
Yeah. Because I stumbled on a tick
tock, and I was like, oh my God. And then, of course because it's
Tick-Tock I don't remember the name of the people that did it.
It also I do literally this is nothing to do with anything but
I just remember the thing that I kept forgetting to do all day,
what is it? I need to print the turkey paper
so I can make the YouTube video. Oh, the because mascara?
Yeah, I'm just teaser trailer. Yes.
He's I'm going to. I'm this year, my goal for
November / December as I'm going to fully produce a video essay
about the turkey, so it'll be immortalized in film.
How many? No dude that's fucking amazing.
You're already immortalized. I feel like we talked about him
like this all the time but you can go ahead.
And if you have a Google phone say OK Google.
And then ask. How big is the turkey in A
Christmas? Carol still do it?
I don't know. I know it did for a while but I
don't have a Tic Tac because it was specifically, like, if you
used the because it was, hey, Google, how big is the turkey in
A Christmas? Carol.
Oh, I messed up leaving again, is the turkey in A Christmas
Carol. Oh, we got this.
Hey Google. How big is the turkey in A
Christmas? Carol?
There it is. Cool.
So used to say according to Katie, I was born but then I
moved to to the infinite Quest podcast site.
I know we get n instead I got I gave you half credit to the
group project. I was the getting the green
colored everything in you. Did you know what was your job
in the in the group project? I let I was usually leader.
Really I was the one who would just do the whole thing for
everybody really has. I just think nobody's gonna do
it as good as me so I was just like, fuck it.
You guys just stay home. If you're at home, I would like
you to raise your hand. If you're even fucking surprised
at all, unless you're driving. Yes, I'll raise one hand while
you guys are like in like really badly traffic know.
I was always the the kind of lie, not not, I never just
because you guys. So the flow is always this
teacher pop group projects groups of for a group of four
occurs. Yeah.
Well actually, it depends if we were getting If we were assigned
the group will. So we will say your sign the
group. Then you just for people.
Well, you and three people sitting there and it's always
the first is nobody says anything.
There's always just like this. Okay, here we are we're in a
group together and usually someone makes a comment about
something like Anodyne and from like yeah, the fish sticks in
the cafeteria whatever. And somebody has to at some
point go Okay, what are we going to do it?
Like somebody has to do that and so I would always do that.
I mean I would wait I wouldn't do a decide that I was going to
do that but I would always just see if anybody else was going to
do that. And if nobody was then I would I
feel like our school experiences are so different cause I went to
really small schools. Yeah, that's right.
So like there was never that like awkward like fish sticks in
the cafeteria. It was I was just like, okay,
Kate's in charge like literally, that's what would happen is, I
would get put in the group. They're like, okay, so you're
going to do. Yep.
Think it was just known that if I was in your group, that's who
was handling the shit. Wow.
Proud of that. That's you.
Were you proud of it at the time?
Yeah I was like yeah fucking I got this.
Let's go. Like cause I was like I'm not
here to fuck around like we're going to do the best job and it
is a competition and we are gonna win and we would pretty
much all the time. Would you would you were you
also the presenter? Yeah.
Well not do to you I wouldn't sit like I was like that was my
thing but also has a really good writer and so that's that was
like especially in college like college was different because I
wouldn't know people but then I would just be like fuck it.
All right the paper because It's fine.
Yeah, and at some point somebody liked it was like, you know,
when you do that you're not giving people the opportunity to
like learn on their own and I was like I can hear that but
they are going to fuck up the MLA citation.
So I'm just going to do all the MLA citations Point.
Gosh, nice, totally that pretty good like I'll do I'll do the
prisoner but like a lot of people wouldn't want to present.
Oh yeah and that was the thing that was always like wild to be.
Yeah well that's the thing volunteers.
Like I don't want it and I was like, oh, I'll totally fucking
do it. Yeah, that's like, that's fine.
And then half the time if you, like, if I knew I was
presenting, I didn't have to prep anything because I would
just be like, yeah, I'm fine. I got this, like, cool that was
sort of a fun game I like to play with, see, how little the
group could do. And then see how much I could
like, improv the group project at the end.
Also, if you are young and in school and listening to this,
don't take don't be like us. When you grow up, do your work,
split it equitably. Allow people the opportunity to
learn and not every group project is a competition. yeah,
yeah, well I mean I The package before drink their blood do it
well, I mean, I always, I always I think I learned material
extremely well in school. Yeah.
Like I'd completed homework and assignments got awfully
dreadfully. I mean, it was an awful student
on paper, except for test. But so, like, in a way I kind of
feel bad for saying that, like, I tried to do as little as
possible. And then bullshit, the thing,
that's not true. Like we would, In the group, we
would talk about the thing that we were supposed to be doing the
project on whether or not we did the project was immaterial to
me. I didn't give a shit because I
always figured that like my dad was a teacher.
So, like, I know how he thinks when he's writing his classes
and stuff. And the point of those projects
is to get the large group of people to hopefully discuss the
the subject at hand or whatever. Like, that's the function of the
project. I don't care if you actually
make well, I mean they do. Have to have something to grade
at the end of the day. That's that's their secret is
that does their homework as they have to give you something such
that they can grate it so that their boss doesn't yell at them.
But the point was to discuss the material and so I would always
prioritize discussing the materials so that I could go up
at the end assuming I was going to go up in the end.
So anyways, I don't want to say like I didn't I did as little as
possible so I could bullshit the ni right.
You know I love I loved learning material.
I just hated doing when people told me to do.
See, I guess I just really like research and so like I was Like
if there is like a research paper to me down, I was like I
got this. Everybody go home, I'll just do
it all because I just like research, like makes me really
happy. Oh yeah, I know.
That was like my Approach. We gotta go to some weird
libraries, dude. Gotta Go to weird, libraries,
weird like, but the thing is, is like, this is weird.
I don't like going to libraries if I don't have like a specific
project because I just get sad that I'm not going to have time
to read every book. Yeah.
Yeah, it's a lot of time thinking about how I won't get
to read every book. Yeah it's truth.
Me really upset a lot of them. Yeah, you know, I'm heard of Kim
peek. He he was the guy that ran man
was based off of know. So Kim peek was lacking a corpus
callosum, which is the body in your brain is in the very center
of your brain and it facilitates communication between the
hemispheres of your brain as well as filters out information.
So like if I tell you meet me at the park at You remember Park
and 6, you won't necessarily brain doesn't have doesn't worry
about the at and whatever, you know, it's just the what is
crucial? And what can I get?
Rid of can peel acts that. And so he could retain are
retained every single piece of information that was ever
presented to him. He could also read incredibly
quickly. He could read one page with his
left eye and one page with his right eye.
So he would just sort of scroll down the page and turn.
Remember what like, the actual reading rate was.
But I mean, it was staggering like he could read easily like,
you know, War and Peace and now ten minutes maybe less.
And he would remember, I'm not exaggerating, it's crazy.
Watching videos of him read and he would retain 100% of it.
I mean down to like, you know, what was?
I don't know, but just crazy. Yeah, thank facts and whatever.
Anyways, my point is, is that he read a lot of books, that was
very thing to do was go to the library and just sit and Books
down in just move them from left to, right?
Just just like all right I read a lifetime's worth of books in
an afternoon. Anyways and was also is was
because of his retention, he could like go around like
universities and people would quiz him on like the most
obscure possible things, but if he ever even glanced at that
piece of information, anywhere, you remember it verbatim pre-cut
superpower. Why does mine have to be it?
Eh d, I wouldn't want that super power that I love that shit.
Are you kidding? No, learn every language.
Just master. So many different things.
All of you so much fun. I don't know.
But you would also have to remember like, every day of your
life and everything that happened in it.
Like, think of how much heavier trauma would be.
Yeah. There's like the thing that
happened that your did was traumatic is exactly as it
happened in your brain. I mean, I do that.
I think I died. I'm sorry.
I don't mean to know you'd nobody know.
You didn't, you're not? Yeah.
I mean, I mean, I mean like the yeah.
Die the smallest detail. Yeah.
All right, that's why I'm sorry. I mean to be like nothing but
never mind. You're good.
I know what you mean, though? What the fuck were you supposed
to be talking about finishing projects but if supposedly, we
should probably be sorry about that even finish this podcast at
this rate. Well, I won't talk about
libraries now because you brought it up.
I deploy my library. What's your okay?
Talk to me. Birdies make me really sad.
Yeah, because I have a really hard time reading and libraries
to me. Like, when you talk about like,
when you, when you express your love for libraries, it is so
clear to me that your experience with libraries is very different
than mine, because, what I would love to be able to do it in a
library, is a read what I want to read.
Yeah. That would be nice.
But that's, you know, By the time I get to the table with
whatever the books that I was looking for.
Was one. I'm already freaking out a
little bit because I'm scared of books and it takes me.
Can I mean it? My reading isn't like, it's not
always terrible. It's situationally terrible.
Like, if I am not in the right, whatever?
If I'm, if I have a lot of inertia thinking about something
else, you know. Yeah, like a project or
whatever, or the car going by, Real professional Eric with the
phone podcast, then, then it can take me a long time and I want
to say a number, but a long time to like, read a paragraph
because that thing that everybody does, but we're but
like, when you're scanning a line and you realized you
haven't actually been reading. You've just been yeah, scanning,
that happens to me several times.
Align it also a lot of times. I'll forget the beginning of a
sentence by the time that I've read the Of the sentence.
I don't know why. But anyways.
So yeah libraries for me are I mean, you're awesome or get me
wrong. I still I mean I still like it.
So I'm going around like it's still cool to me, but I just
wish like God, if I could read as fast as you like, Jesus
Christ. You can imagine, I'd be doing
anything else ever. This is not me.
Pandering or condescending. I just genuinely want to know.
Have you ever tried just reading out loud?
Yes. Helped cement has a, how I did
it a lot in high school. Yeah.
I read a lot which was kind of
fun. I had a sort of an ADHD spin out
of that because they had a phase where I was like, I'm gonna
learn to speed read. Which I think every stick person
I think it's so born their life is like I'm going to speed read
and you learn about subvocalization which is when
you read and you hear the voice in your head that's called
subvocalization. You can actually detect when
it's happening because our larynx Twitches, very slightly
but our brain kind of thinks that we're saying it even though
we're not. And that's the main thing that
speed readers have to stop doing because then you can only read
as fast as you can, like talk. And they read my much faster
than that. So I got it in my head that
like, subvocalization was a bad thing.
Oh, sure. And therefore reading out loud
would be like an even worse thing which is stupid.
But anyways, you know, I read a lot and it's really just hearing
he. I process auditory information
really well, like lectures. I do really well with, but yeah,
reading the lecture would not have the same effect.
Its libraries are ER, Interesting to me because they
also were one of the ways that I really started realizing that,
like, oh no, I actually have a special interest, like it like a
like, a quantifiable, special interest because it's like all
walk into a library, like, what is the library?
Libraries? Like infinite Choice.
Infinite choice, you know? And every time I go to a
library, I instantly just go. Okay.
Where's your where Shakespeare? Where is your Renaissance
history? Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I do. Even for, I don't even fucking
bother. I don't even fucking bother and
like, that's so like it's weird to describe, but it was like one
of the first times that I really started feeling like valid in
like having preferences. You know, does it feel like I
spend a lot of time judging myself for like being like, you
know, oh, that's not the right preference or you should be
spending your time somewhere else or whatever.
But, like a library is this like fascinating safe Place where
it's just like you can just go water the stacks and like, you
know, whatever. And but I would just always find
myself there. I was just like, you know, even
if I went to library for like, oh, I need a, I don't know, math
book or whatever. Like, I would always wind up
being in that section and that was like one of the first times
that I was like, oh, this is actually something that I care
about like this is actually something that I'm interested in
and I'm passionate about and I think that's like, okay and so
that's one of the reasons why I love libraries because it's
like, you can go and you can have the like, you know,
Infinite choice or you can just be like, fuck it.
I'm gonna go, we go see what they got and then they also.
There's like fancy libraries like Library of Congress all the
fancy over there. You know, in fact, here's a here
for all of the people who give a shit about this which is
probably me. Did, you know, this is a fun
fact, the Library of Congress has a rare book section and you
have to go and you have to like fill out a little sleep slip of
paper and you just request the book that you want.
But here's the thing. The thing that nobody fuckin
talks about and this is a real fucking thing.
The Library of Congress has a first folio.
And so you can just go to the Library of Congress.
You have to get like, you have to get special access to the to
the collection, but like, like you can just go and be like,
hello. Yes.
I would like the first folio and they have to be like, okay and
you can just take it out of the library.
What are you can't like take it home with you but you'll make it
you handle it. Yeah what?
Yeah. It's like a little cheat sheet.
It's because they have a first folio so you can just go and you
can you can request it, you have to, you do have to be like a
student or like a Scholar or whatever.
So, you have to have like pre-approval to be like, in the
section. But like, once you, if you're
like a grad student or whatever like I, yeah, wow, yeah, that's
really cool. Yeah.
Oh, I just thought of it as such is sorry.
You got no. So, I feel bad that this isn't a
response to your point, but that's fucking cool.
I just thought of another Library thing that I'm
wondering, if any of the listeners like Vibe with.
But another thing that frustrates me about libraries is
like How do I care? Hmm, books are most books are
meant to be read from the front to the back and every all the
middle requires, the previous stuff to contextualize it, not
all books, but a lot of them. And so, when I think about going
to the library I think about like cool I could open this book
to the section that I want to know about but they're going to
reference a bunch of shit that they've referred to you know and
the last hundred pages in between a bunch of bullshit, you
know and we take me to read 100 pages of a book.
Takes me. I mean, on a good day, an hour,
maybe more, I mean, it's been a long time since I've read 100
pages of a book straight through.
But like, you know, Anyways, so I think that's what another
thing. It really frustrates me.
It's sort of like, a movie, but you have to watch the entire
movie to get to the one part that you actually came.
Therefore. So anyways, that's I think
that's also I want our book to be.
You can open it and start from there.
You can read it for 30 seconds or 20 minutes and it will still
do something for you. Yeah, yeah.
I mean I do like I do want to say that I don't like libraries.
I also think that's why I liked I used to work in the archives
of Michigan which is just it's the archive.
So like all of The public records from since the start of
the state of Michigan were stored in the stacks, which were
these massive temperature control, football sized rooms
temperature control, you know, 30 foot high ceilings because
they contained every Court transcript.
Every single you know, naturalization record like
everything. And I was the retriever because
I was like, I was 18, I was like the young guy, so they would
like their wood, right? Oh, I really wish I was The
golden I was so good. I was I was the golden retriever
has I was I was I was happy was there.
But they would like right up some favor and I would like go
with the card. I was top meant baby was
awesome. But yeah, I think that's what
was really cool about that is most of the things in there were
something that I could like pick up and read pretty quickly or at
least engage with in a very in a meaningful way without a bunch
of like lead up so I could pull out just a random thing and it
would be the hand In court, stenographers notes from, you
know, a guy who accused another guy of stealing his cow and, you
know, 1830 or whatever. You know.
But I was like, I was like a library but it was like tidbits,
you know, Allah a little out of context tidbits.
And I had to see the third floor room, which was the really cool
stuff she's like, but also like personal connection because
that's one of the reasons why I really like archival work and
stuff is because like, at some point you start.
Oh God, this is gonna sound so fucking nerdy.
Look at some point. You start getting to like
primary? Resources and a lot of primary
sources are like first hand accounts you know.
So it's like you can go look at like, I don't know, you know,
John Dee's diary or whatever. Here's this guy, this is a real
person. I like really lived like was
really worried about like the recipe for bread or whatever.
You know what I mean? Mmm, I love that.
That's right, guys. Got with that butter.
Like like henslow. Sorry.
Is like one of my favorite things in the whole world and I
was because some fucking nerd was like now I need to track my
expenses but also safe Important recipes.
Like, what are you doing? Like, oh, I'll so, here's a
costume list, like, sir, get a separate notebook.
What are you doing? But because he didn't he's like,
no, I'm just going through all the shit and like this one thing
it's like is the only reason we have that information.
You know what I mean? And like that's really fucking
cool. Like there's just such like a
like just like the profundity of the connection is just like I
just oh man there's there's a there's a I don't even want to
call it. An artifact is one of my
favorite things that I would love to.
To see in person someday. But it's one of the oldest.
Well, I don't know how to say this.
It's his school student. Must school children School
child. It sounds weird.
But it's student student. Young student.
Like a kid student. Jesus Christ.
It's his notes from class but it has Doodles on it.
And it's from, its from Babel, it's from mess of the
Mesopotamian era like thousands and thousands and thousands and
thousands of years ago. It's written in like you know,
uniform. Well yeah, cuneiform I don't
know the actual language so that piece of tree bark, but yeah, it
has doodle, scratched into it. It's like him on a horse and
he's like riding along. And there are like people down.
He's got like a little Trident and then there's another one
where, like, it's him like running with his friend and we
know his name, he wrote, because he was a school, it was
homework. So his name was on it.
Oh my God, I can't remember his fucking name.
I feel so bad. I'm it's one of those things.
I got to look it up, but it's so cold.
I Like I said, was like, oh, people were talking people,
there's a an account on Tick-Tock mini Minutemen who's
Anthropologist guy and he emphasizes the point that like
really early people like early early, like 50,000 years ago,
people, they were people, just like us, they were regular
people. They just didn't have, you know,
writing on all these things that world would last 50,000 years
for us to find but they had Complicated relationships, and
complicated, social ecosystems, and imagining like, what a day
in that life? Apparently there's a bunch of
that, I don't really? Yeah, there is.
Was it on Phim? Yes, on film.
Yeah, he was He lived in present-day Russia, but, but
apparently, there's like a bunch.
There's like a bunch of like just there, they're called
artifact assignments. And they're like, there's
apparently, like, just like a whole bunch of them, and that's
fucking charming. And also, look at his little
drawings. Aw, you just like hanging out?
Well, oh my gosh. I was so totally wrong.
You were very wrong. I was wrong about a lot of
stuff. Holy shit.
You're right about the Trident, though, visual information,
baby. And a Thank you, 13th century,
excuse me. Wrote, I am a wild beast next to
it. Nice.
Yeah, there's like a whole bunch.
Oh good Olaf him. Oh my God, I feel Love's.
I was so wrong about a bunch of shit.
That was, why did I think? Either way.
Gosh sorry. Jill listen, I hope you didn't
lose any credibility on that. Well, be noted, is that we have.
So we have to wrap up this episode.
How dare you? Not remember?
Well, I mean specific try to be honest when I don't remember a
thing but once you forget enough of it, you can't really bring it
up anymore. Like yeah some kid from a long
time ago, you know, I thought it.
I swear to God I thought it was. There is one for Mesopotamia,
there is one. I know which one you're talking
about. I think because there's a bunch
of uh yeah people in right after a while because there's there's
Of the one we're like they're like arguing over like like the
quality of like metal that got traded and they're like thrown
around insults and stuff that one's really funny.
That's really good. One.
Also like there's a lot of apparently you guys graffiti
just on a lot of stuff. Yeah.
Like we don't notice it because we're not to us, it just looks
like, you know hieroglyphs but yeah a lot of it was not
supposed to be there. It was like someone just came by
with another stick. It's like also I was here and
this is a dick. I just got a book about the
inscriptions in like unlike the like the graves that were like
and it's how and it's a book about how you can like trace the
the spread of Christianity through like inscriptions on
like Graves and like the different like catacombs so
cool. Some of them are like They're
like upsetting they're like just it's just they're so real and
they're like so human and like it's a very like it's a
fascinating book but it's also very sad because you're just
like holy shit because it's just like all these people like
epitaphs, you know, but it's just like, it's yeah.
I don't know. I don't know.
I thought of that. But same thing.
No. History school with Goodman,
dude. We got men whose government.
Yeah, we do, anyways, everybody. Thank you so much for being here
for listening to us. What the fuck whatever we talk
about. We're supposed to.
Using project so we never even started which is even started.
Feels ironic. You know, when you keep bringing
up, interesting stuff. I mean, I don't you know, I'm
not claiming I'm delighted when you bring up and I really want
to talk about how I wanted to build built-ins in my living
room but I guess we talked about libraries and on him and stuff.
Yeah, well next week good on film is out there rooting for us
right now. Yeah, he's still alive.
Actually yeah, and he's here tonight on fam.
Come on. Sorry, I know what these are
called. Light bulbs.
Okay? So first off him, a podcast is
like a radio show and a radio show is like a record, kind of
at a record. Well, okay.
So, you know how Lutz exist? Let's just start there.
Oh, they didn't have Lutz previously alluded to the tall
Century now 13th century. Do they?
Yeah for sure. No.
I know they were called Loop did there are?
I mean, I had my daily had Lutz isn't all hundreds, okay?
Definitely. I believe.
I'm could be totally wrong, but that feels right.
You know, they were called loot like his like the because the
Lou was a precursor of the modern guitar.
And there were a few fuck ton of different weird variations and
stuff. When we're Lutz and vented
discovery of an apparent Loot on an akkadian seal, now in the
British museum may have pushed the non-existence of the plug
loop back to Circa 3100 BC, the ludes existence in our Was more
31 BC. Fuck, get farce.
I told you. Okay that's the old a Spanish
friend. I think I'm being I think I'm
assuming that we were more conservative with the definition
of loot. It's like a lute is a very
specific thing. It's like I've held once I
played Luke's but like I smashed a loot on what couple guys had.
Yeah. Why?
There's a scene in Taming of the Shrew where Kate break solute
over her instructors head? And he like very famously, like
comes out with the loot, like, around his neck.
Like, he's wearing it like a, like a hat.
You know, where did you get the Lutz?
Thank you. Thank you.
Building pretty smashed for the seen you.
Yeah, you build. Like, a something that looks
like a lewd that smashes easily. Usually.
They're just like a shitty old Loop that they're like cough.
Sometimes it's a guitar to. I've done a couple with guitars
I didn't I didn't Smash It Lutz. Do you know how few people in
the world know how to make Lutz right now?
It's yours. This is my friend.
Matthew plays the lute, that's cool.
Yeah. I've uh I kind of want to start
playing with it because you playing classical guitar, the
common technique as you would have fingernails, but they take
out that's a whole thing maintaining them.
But Lutz the common practice is to not play them with
fingernails. That's all you're gonna say that
you could just grow all your fingernails in that could have
back scratch. It is about Lisa saying, getting
back scratches with guitarist Nails.
I do. As one of my things, I miss the
most about playing classical guitar was I was satisfying I
could scratch my own head and heads of other others.
He was like I thought you were going to say like people would
scratch your back and I was like do you guys have like back
scratch trains going on in high school and then I got like
another was like just such like a fucking theater kid moments,
like the massage chains on the couch.
Yeah. The sketchy couch that like you
know Chris broad from his mom's basement little the theater Tech
kids would fucking fuck on. Nobody ever fucked on our
couches packs. Because I went to eye, but I
think it's because I went to Catholic school.
That's fair. I remember one time there was
like somebody, like kissed on the couch and I was like big
drama like smooch backstage as a showmance.
