Hello, and welcome back to infinite quests.
It's me. Hey dude, it's really happening
people. It's really going down.
I am leaving California for Georgia for the last time on the
24th. So thank you all for your
support Katie and I are continuously just blown away by
just, I mean, just how much you're all behind us and stoked
on things. Has to come.
It's it just really means the world to us.
So, thank you for that. This episode was actually
recorded live on Twitch, so be sure to follow me and Katie on
Twitch at twitch.tv/esa, goood and twitch.tv slash kto Soros,
but the 0 is 0, because somebody beat her to it, we both go live
everyday, Katie at 11:30 Eastern and then I do like the little
after-show at 12:30 Eastern. So I'll come on by.
It's a really fun and very strange time in this episode.
We start talking about moving, but live episodes are always So
we end up sort of going all over the place but we talked a little
bit about our apprehensions moving and what it's like being
nerd a virgin and experiencing new challenges and new
circumstances in the amazing and also scary things that can come
with that. So anyways, enjoy the episode.
And what is K 0 is saying during what is translation.
Right? Right anyways, enjoy the show.
When does the stream become a podcast?
Right now. Hi everybody.
It's me, Katie source and welcome back to infinite Quest.
This we got infinite question, we're going to be talking about
moving. Do you know why?
Because Eric is moving, moving to Georgia to it.
You're listening to this on the podcast.
We definitely didn't bullshit around for like 20 minutes
before this. This is a clean start because
we're very professional. We have our shit together and
we're very good at podcasting. I just wanted to say that for no
reason at all. Unprompted.
Yep, I just hope that this was the clean.
We we organized this meeting way ahead of time and we clicked a
couple buttons bing-bang biggity-boom here we are.
And now we're recording a podcast, that's no was seamless.
There was transitions, were were glorious, very natural areas,
incredible. The segues like German tourists
in Madrid, which is a joke that hasn't been used twice on the
podcast already. Somehow you'll your recounting,
the bad Segway was worse than the bad Segway.
It's like a horse. You know like like my God never
mind reminds me of your impression of somebody who
vaguely remembers the wild geese poem.
Just yes, there's some parts. This is a strees.
There's some may strain as rains and rains and they yell at you.
And they're like, hey, we're a fucking family down.
I was trying to make you spit the water out.
It's always everybody. Yeah, we're talking about moving
today because I'm moving and Holy schnikeys mix NyQuil stdin.
My ADHD has been. I don't know if it's been acting
up. I never know what to say, like,
it's been acting up or if it's always like that.
It's just sometimes. There's some tasks lend
themselves, very poorly. 288 you like.
For example though, I got a bunch of boxes.
I went down to the Ace Hardware and I got me some boxes and a
very friendly woman smiled at me from behind her mask.
But her eyes like lit up, and it was just the most delightful
thing. Well, it's a, this is the
friendly Hardware playset. Is that their slogan?
I think so. Is it really well Rhymes but
it's not. You just made a lot of money
sell that to a Sly case is the place with the ferret friendly
Hardware. It's just a place with Grace
something I'm gonna save some face, come to his place.
Hey Cesar spacer Nana Nana Grace Kelly taste there's a very
another friendly very very friendly person.
I walked I needed to know where something wasn't and they told
me exactly the aisle and then I went back and ask him another
question. They told me Exactly.
The aisle and I got to go like, wow, you're really good, you
should be on Jeopardy. And they laughed.
They had to be, I got to make a little dad joke, that was fun.
Anyways, got some boxes, came back, put the boxes together and
I'm going through, like all my Doom boxes.
What? You raise the creek 80s raising
your hand. What's what?
How do you put together a box? Well, there are there are
foldable cardboard. Like I was like, I got fine
crates made Teak had to assemble them together to put my
Underpants in as I. So I get these bikes together
and I had a very Minecraft e in problem where I was like, how do
I organize stuff? Do I organize stuff by like
material so it's like a fabric e thing, you know, my closet
stuff, and linens would go in the same thing, but it's like
well, wait a minute, maybe I'm going to keep my linens in a
different place in the new apartment.
So do I do it by like location that I Dissipate do I do it by
task? You know, like there are certain
things that are different places in the house but they're all
related to the same tasks like laundry or something.
Do you do it by tasks? And so, rather than choosing any
of those options? I just continue to think of them
for three days and now it's now sound, it was very ADHD
Minecraft and problem. What did you decide or have you
decided? I think what I ultimately ended
up with was I had a huge box of Fabricate.
So I just grabbed all my clothes and threw them in the box.
Great, I folded them. I was it was I picked him up by
the hanger and then like put my arm in the middle and then like
folding them over. That know I was so good, I only
broke like five hangers to, it's pretty sweet.
There's a new record that and then I had one box for like
getting rid of stuff and that was a whole thing because I was
like, okay stuff, I'm getting rid of in that subsection, you
got stuff that I'm donating stuff that I'm putting on the
street and stuff that's trash. And so I was like, okay.
Okay, I need three more containers and then I was like,
okay, I need to get three more containers about way Derek.
You're doing something you can do that later.
And so I had to be like, okay, I do like table the task of
getting the container for the separate things that I'm
donating thrashing putting on the street kind of thing.
Yeah, and it was like a moment where I mean, really.
This was a moment where like if I didn't know about my ADHD and
I like pay attention to it as much as I do.
I would have been like kind of fucked myself a little bit
though. Doing this.
I was like, sitting. I was all set up to like, go
through these Doom boxes and pack some shit and there was one
section of stuff. I was going to get rid of them
in one way or another and yeah, I was like, fully ready to be
like. Okay, I'm going to go find some
more boxes to make this thing and a neurotypical person.
Maybe they can do that. I'd have no idea, but maybe they
could have gone and found those containers and gone back to what
they were doing. But I would not have, I would
have spent five minutes looking for appropriately sized boxes.
Then I would have spent 10 minutes It's like deciding how I
want to arrange my room from left to, right?
Or something like that. Like sucks to put them to buy,
it would've been a whole thing. So, I was like, okay, I'm gonna
do one box for stuff. I'm getting rid of for now and I
will solve that problem later. And that was like, that seems so
small but like, that was genuinely big for me.
Yeah, I was like, wow, I could anticipate that I was going to
ADHD spin-off on this task and go like okay, I'm saving it for
later anyways. So a lot of stuff like that has
been going on. Like things that are
specifically hard for people with ADHD.
And I'm very grateful to like have you in like this community
to, you know, shoot the shit with on a streams and on
whatever to like, I don't know. Just just remember that like,
you know, be this stuff isn't hard because I'm a bad person
it's hard because I have this mental disorder.
Yeah, no I mean that's super valid like a speaking, quite
candidly. Like last time I moved it.
Very nearly ruined my marriage like no, yeah it was not great.
It was not Great. I am very bad at moving and like
thankfully, like, you know, like we worked it out.
We worked through it and all that stuff.
But, like moving is really hard. And like, one of the things that
I like, I feel like doesn't get talked about a lot because it's
like, it's weird. But, like, major life events.
Like, it's, they always say. It's like changing jobs, getting
married. Having a kid, moving, and losing
a family member. Those are like the five, like
most like Dramatic things that like can happen in terms of like
psychological shifts and like a lot of times in like there's
like it makes your ADHD worst like it because you're in like a
new environment like especially with like moving and starting a
new job. It's like that kind of stuff
like you're in a system, like you're in a new place with like
new systems and new structures and it can take like a lot to
adapt and a lot to like, You know, make stuff work the way
that you want to. And so moving sucks because
you're literally dismantling every system that you've created
in the hopes that like one, you can get through focusing to do
that. But then, once you get there,
that you're going to be able to like effortlessly build the
system's back and it's like we've lived here for three years
and they're still boxes in our basement that we haven't packed
like, oh yeah, that is it on the crest of ADHD.
Somewhere on there. There's just a nun.
Not unpacked box. Yes.
Just but has been sitting and so, I guess.
So, like II one of those I'm sort of in a place where I don't
know if I'm really good at moving or really bad at moving,
I suspect that I'm really bad, but because I always enter a
mode of like, fuck it, you know. Yeah.
Sort of procrastination deadline Panic.
Yeah. We're like, I'm just like screw
it and I just throw everything in a box and just have like,
14-hour day of like epic cleaning and packing.
Right? That's see.
That's what I'm worried about. That's what I'm worried that
you're going to do because it's like I know your schedule and I
know where you are and I know like how you are and so worried
that I'm going to get there and it's going to be like a 20-hour
day of like you know getting the kitchen clean and like I don't
want you to put yourself through that.
Well I don't want you to have to that.
You don't shoot enough to clean my kitchen.
No I don't think will happen. I mean I'm Already, I've already
done a lot like I've gotten rid of like 100 pounds of random
shit that I needed to get rid of the big thing is getting the
figuring out how to get rid of the piano.
I'm just I'm probably going to post it on Facebook and be like
free piano if you want to come pick it up.
Yeah so if you're in the Bay Area and one free piano, let me
know but I also knew that like, so let's say, you're moving.
Okay, let's say you Katie move and you move to some fucking.
Who knows? I do you remember you move to a
location? Okay.
How do you like in your head? How do you I don't want to say
like set up systems because sometimes no system is a system.
Yeah. Like what do you what are your
priorities? Like what are the first few
things that you like want to like get in order ish so that
you can like have a space. Yeah so I mean I revert like One
of the things that I did was I sort of planned for, like the
first couple of nights. And so, like, I had like a box
that was like, Sharpies and tape and toilet paper, and like, a
couple of like plastic dishes and like, just like stuff for
like that first night, when like, you're tired and you've
gotten there and whatever. And, and so that was that was
the first thing was like, I had like a little box prepared, that
was like, here's my stuff, here's my tampons, you know just
like whatever something that way didn't.
Dig through a thousand boxes, but I'm going to admit something
Eric and I'm going to like, and I realized that what I'm about
to say comes with an immense amount of privilege.
But we hired a moving company. When we, when we moved like we
did like the packing and Chris did the bulk of the packing
because I was in, I was here in Georgia working and it like, and
that was one of the reasons why we struggled so much with the
move was because I had already moved ahead of him to start this
job and then it turned out that I just wasn't able to get there
as much as I wanted to and I really felt like I let Chris
down and like it was really really hard on us for a really
long time like sort of like dealing with the fact that I
kind of had to just be like by pack this shit all by yourself
and that was like not fair of me and that was not cool of me and
that's something that like now looking back I'm like I fucking
let my partner down and I major way you know so that was really
hard but we hired a company because when I was doing
research about How to move because that's what I do.
I've for Macadamia, we do research about the thing that I
saw. The most that came up the most
on Reddit and stuff like that was like, Don't like if you can
just hire some people and so like we found a local company
that had incredibly like reasonable rates.
And so like they came and they did the bulk of like the moving
and the carrying because like my dystonia between my dystonia and
the time and just my brain and the organization, I was like I
need help. I have to, I have to ask for
help and so that was the choice that I made and so that I was
really bad. When people are like ask me for
advice because my genuine advice is like if you an try and hire
somebody because like, I couldn't have done it on my own,
like, I know, like just my brain and like, the way that I am in
like physically, like the physical struggles that I have
with, like lifting heavy objects, I would have destroyed
both my physical and my mental health and so like I had to do
that but it sucked for Chris and I recognize that, you know,
perhaps really have for looking out for yourself.
I mean if that's you know, I mean if you're in a position
where you could do that and it would save you Physical and
mental stress. Then I think that's an awesome
move. I'm honestly proud of you for
doing that. That's really, I mean, it was
one of those things where I was like is this like completely
irresponsible to spend this money to like, have some guys
come move boxes. But then at the end of the day,
like it saved us so much time and effort and just like stress
and like, just me and like, my physical stuff.
Like, I was like, it was the right choice for me.
But I also again, understand that the cops were like a lot of
privilege of having, like, the extra Grand to throw it.
A guy, you know, It was it was tough.
Yeah. Well I think that's really.
I mean if you're in a position where you can do that kind of
thing, I think Outsourcing stuff is always one of the better sort
of tools in the nerd of urgent. Toolbox, more specifically the
ADHD toolbox, I mean, I'm sure now in all the neurodivergent
toolboxes I just, can we speak for the ADHD toolbox and
depression toolbox, but Outsourcing is one of the best
tools for dealing with idiots. HD.
Because a lot of the things that ADHD makes very difficult are
very readily out source of all things.
So, I mean, so for Zinta to clarify when I would, he does
know what I'm talking about. Is a Outsourcing Outsourcing is
basically, your brain is shitty at doing a thing.
So you have somebody else do it, basically.
But I also, I mean, you shouldn't just be like, hey, do
this, you know, sometimes you're you're paying for a service
like, a moving company. Yeah, sometimes you know like
Width apart and also flag, for example with you and Chris, like
you hate, put them away the silverware, once it's clean.
Like you're some reason like your brain, just can't handle
that and which is valid. And so it's like, hey Chris,
I'll do this the other dishes if you just do the dish, why like,
that's an example of Outsourcing, you know.
Like yeah. But I also think about sourcing
not just as from other people but I think of like I think
making a list as an example of Outsourcing.
Like my brain is fucking garbage.
At remembering information in sequence.
And so writing it down is an example of Outsourcing its
externalizing, a process from from my brain to somewhere else.
And I think that's one of the most invaluable tools in the old
toolbox. And I think hiring a moving
company is a fucking amazing example, of like the situation
where it was kind of hard to decide whether or not to
Outsource that task. I mean, Outsourcing is a very
vulnerable. There can be a very vulnerable
thing to do because it intrinsically involves saying,
hey, I need help. Yeah, I'm not great at this.
I need help and that's a really difficult thing to do a lot of
the time but I think very often times it's the most, it's just
our best option, you know? I mean like for example with you
and like the infinite Quest email like I am so bad.
I want to say that I'm bad at writing him.
I'm at and bad with email for a million different reasons
because I never want to I never want to write the whole thing I
want to I want to boil it down into the smallest amount of
words. I will be there at 6:00 like
boom done, but emails, not like that.
You got to say, hello? I'm contacting you in regards to
your whatever, whatever, whatever.
So, I either end up writing a whole thing or just one sense,
it doesn't matter. But anyways, if I had to handle
business emails, infinite Quest would crumble to the ground like
I am so awful at it. So the fact that you were good
at it, they really need to do it is like the best thing in the
world. Thank you very much but I just I
do I feel bad about it, sometimes it's like fuck.
If I could while I wish we could share the low.
I mean we could if Katie I know I'm sure you already assumed
this but if at any point you're like, Eric we need to start
breaking up the emails. We need to we need to divide and
conquer on emails. I am hello willing to do that.
But either way, like it's a strange thing having
intrinsically. Say like not only am I bad at
this thing. I don't think I'm capable of
getting good at this thing. Like that's the other part of
it. Yeah, Isaac.
Well I mean that's like one of the things that like I mean I
learned so profoundly from like last time like you know, like
that that's really. It is like I fucked up.
Like I fucked up hard like I fucked up in terms of like how
long I thought it would. I would take to move.
I thought I fucked up in terms with like how Hard.
I I thought it was gonna be like, really easy like oh you
put stuff in boxes like no it's fucking hard.
I fucked up in terms of like the time and and like yes you like a
lot. Like I messed up a lot like and
consistently and so like now like you know, we don't have any
plans to move soon but it's like like you bet your ass that like
the next time like I'm going to be like heading up the packing
crew and you know, I'll be the one like sort of coordinating
and organizing that because like I I left it too. it's like a lot
and it that I fucked up like I fucked up and especially like
with Chris has autism, like he like he couldn't handle it in a
way, that was like, good for him, but because I was so busy
with the new job like so yeah, like so so it's one of those
things were like, I think recognizing your strikes and
recognizing your weaknesses, but also recognizing that, like,
sometimes you have to fail to learn How to do better than next
time and that goes for like anything.
You know, it's not just big things like moves, its, you
know, it's like little things, like, even things that you do
like on a daily basis, like I suck it, unloading the
silverware and so like we have a little system.
Now, like Chris comes over and unloads the silverware.
Why do the rest of it? And that's okay.
But like that is, you know what I mean?
Like, it's just like one of those things were like, I, I
still feel so bad and I still in some cases, sort of like feel
the effects of Fucking up the move as hard as I did like in
our relationship. But like, it means that now I
have an opportunity to know that about myself and to do better
and to like work harder to, you know, make sure that like the,
the work is Equitable. And that I think has been the
the bad that came out of that situation has led to like better
things, if that makes sense. But yeah, like there's there's a
A lot of failure. There's a lot of failure,
there's a lot of like learning and growing and that kind of
stuff, you know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely.
I think it's just listening to one of our podcast episodes
yesterday and I realized I start most of the things that I say
with. Yeah, absolutely.
You do just now, I'm totally aware of you.
But I always agree with what you say, so fucking much.
It's your great. It's like after covid.
You can literally change the. You can literally like, hear my
breathing change. All the podcasts.
Yeah, so very thick. I can't stop listening to it.
You sound like you sound wonderful.
You sound like a, very just constantly now, like, all the
time. It's horrible.
I'm really embarrassed about it but it's all I can hear.
When I listen back to old episodes I was like, you
couldn't hear it is bad. And then I got covid-19 ears
like every time and it can also be my editing.
I mean, it totally could be. No, I don't think so.
But when it comes to bad things happening that we learn from, I
mean I kind of think of it might.
So my dad's an artist watch out analogy tha-that's.
Rest, he draws stuff in pain stuff and sculpt stuff you make
stuff. And when he teaches people to
draw our talks about drawing whether the people, he always,
he says you have thousands and thousands of bad drawings in
you. Like and every time you do a bad
drawing, your that's another one that's that's out like great do
as many bad drawings as you can like, just keep.
Yeah. Bad means, you know, to you, but
just keep doing a get those out. And I think it's kind of similar
with Like shitty experiences that we like really screw up or
something like that. It's like, if I didn't know
something, then a mistake was going to be made from not
knowing that thing at some point.
And once it happens now, you know, biggity bang pretty like
now. It's now it's done.
Like yeah. Now I know the thing that
screwed me and as much as it like sucks to have things go
wrong deciding to learn. From the thing that went wrong
or like, we're trying to figure out how you messed it up.
It's, it's kind of rings like, oh, sweet, I don't have to make
that mistake ever again. Like I made it once.
That's what it reminds me. I'm trying to think of connect
it to Ira Glass has the Gap, which I think I've talked about
on the podcast before, but brief refresher, if you start doing
creative work, you do it because you have some form of taste.
You like it. You you there are certain things
about it that you like you have to do, you have taste.
And so if you start doing it, you're inevitably going to
realize that your taste you don't live up to your own taste.
You're not as good as you like to be and you'll know it because
you have taste and so it's going to be a while before you're good
in your own eyes. And so you have to just make a
large Out-of-work paintings or drawings or or novels or
whatever, just just keep doing it until you're good enough, you
know? And your if till you're good in
your own eyes and I think in life is an art, like, is the
creative art, man. And we all have tastes in our in
life, man. She's this butts, but really, I
mean, it's the same kind of thing where we how we all have
an image of how, like, a life that how the perfect person
would be, you know, what would a perfect house would look like
and what a perfect. Desk set up would look like in
the most organized, you know, spam folder on our email, or
whatever the hell and spoiler. You're probably never going to
be those things because nobody's perfect.
But the more stuff we do in the more times we fail, the closer
and closer we get towards being good in our own eyes.
I mean, I think we should all view ourselves as being good in
our own eyes all the time, but that's not always a Vulcan easy
thing to do. But I think doing a lot of
things and making Mistakes in observing and analyzing those
mistakes is is a good way to get through.
Is, I mean, it's a positive thing to do in general.
I think, I think the worst thing that you can do is make a
mistake and then not learn from it and just go like oh I guess
I'm just a shitty person. It makes me think of the
difference between shame and guilt in my in my in my brain.
Okay. Well like I think of Shame as
being I am a bad thing. Where's guilt?
As I did a bad thing and I think shame is often an excuse to not
learn the lessons of guilt. Because guilt, I did a bad
thing, and if you did a bad thing, you cannot do that again
or you can hopefully do something to remedy that bad
thing. There's an it's actionable or as
shame. I am a bad thing.
There's no action there. You just are bad.
So what I guess I'm just bad. Screw it, you know, whatever.
It's a it's an excuse to get rid.
Of to not learn the lessons and not take action that guilt has
to teach us about. So I think that's really
dangerous and I think that's one of the reasons why it's really
important to when we make a mistake to go, what did I do?
What was the best thing that I did?
And how can I not do that again or do it better, or do it
differently? And I think that's really
important. So anyways, that was a very
long-winded way of saying, yeah dude, make some make mistakes,
try not to get other people hurt and learn from those mistakes.
Go, bright, go break some eggs, like Tony Stark.
Dark in that one movie Captain America.
Civil War was really funny. Don't put that.
Oh, come on. It was it, was it be like, Oh,
The Rocketeer From Arrested Development and Eric, have you
never seen The Rocketeer know, my dude, my dude, my dude, okay,
okay. Okay.
What is The Rocketeer classic? Very forgotten Disney movie when
a Catherine Zeta-Jones is like early fucking where I think she
was at it. I think that was her anyway.
No, no, no. That was that was the, that was
the Phantom. Just kidding.
Anyway, so it's The Rocketeer. It's like a 1920s 19.
No, just kidding nighttime. He was so bad.
It's like a 1940s, like, superhero movie, but it's like
this guy, and he's The Rocketeer.
And he like, and he's like Iron Man, but it's like the 40s.
And so, it's like old, like, it's all like 1940s, like
old-timey, glamour Hollywood. It's like one of my favorite
movies and also now I just realized that you should
absolutely cosplay The Rocketeer.
At DragonCon, I'm looking, I'm looking at it now.
And absolutely, if you want to do watch along of The Rocketeer.
Here. Because this is my favorite
movies. I don't know how well it holds
up like I always worry about watching those movies that I
loved as a kid. But like it.
Like we should do watch a lot of that.
Oh yeah. Most definitely.
I mean look at his helmet. Yeah.
It was the register is. It's like this classic.
Like, maybe it's the twenties. I don't remember, but it's like
twenties. There is somewhere in there.
It's somewhere around that time period.
I want to say it's World War one or two.
I don't remember. But he's got very sort of
Star-Lord Vibes. Yeah.
Yes, it is. It's like a, it's like a star,
lord jacket. Sort of Duration, but I always
remember the he's got like a girlfriend.
He's like a movie star or something and she is just like
incredible white dress. It has to be the 20s because
she's wearing like a bias cut like white dress and there's
like this pivotal scene where she's in this.
Like gorgeous like 1920s like white dress.
Oh it's Jennifer Connelly. Yeah Catherine Zeta Jones was
the fan Phantom I apologize. I got by ladies and cool white
dresses mixed up out Gentleman on the worst.
I'm the worst. Oh my God, I'm so excited for
this costume. Gives me a good excuse to buy a
sweet jacket or learn to sew a sweet jacket purse, some
Chargers. What's a shot?
A guy jodhpur. It's like, it's hot.
It's like the pants that he's wearing, where they like kind of
poufy on the sides. Oh, really?
I was wondering what the would, how do you spell that?
J. 0d h. PR es.
That's not right at all. I've like, I guarantee you.
That's not right. No, that's right.
Is it right? That's correct right on.
Yeah, cool. I've always wanted one pair of
these pants showed purse. I didn't know is wanted a pair
of these pants, Hollywood pants and like the boots will get you
like yeah man we're gonna okay this is gonna be a stick Shadow
for this is going to be part of my part of my Howard Stark style
that I'm going to go for it. Some point I want you to know
that you've expressed that this has nothing to do with the topic
of the podcast. But you've expressed this before
and I just want you to know that as your friend, I approve.
Dude, let's do it. Not that my approval of matters
at all and you should do what you want, because you have
bodily autonomy, and I respect you, but I wouldn't be mad if
you wanted to start dressing like, Howard Stark will do.
Let's do, I mean, I need help II have no sigh.
I need help little bit little go to some Goodwills.
I said, first step is, I need to stop sweating so much.
That is the first step do. I mean, I understand, I
understand where you're coming from but like you're good,
you're gonna. So I don't know what to do about
that. Well, to get sweat sweat.
Accommodating clothing, or something like that on a threat.
Accommodating clothing. It'll be great.
That's what 1940s clothing is known for is its ability to
breathe. You're the chunda John Mulaney
bit. He's like, how much would it
suck to live in the olden days? Like you wake up and you're
like, fuck, it's the olden days. I gotta put on those all those
layers, that's true. Why do they wear so many layers?
Katie, you could answer that question?
I'm sure. I mean, it's because I mean, do
you want to know the actual answer?
Because I'll tell you the actual answer, but this is we're
supposed to talk about moving but well, it's okay.
We're almost at the 30-minute Mark so well we can review
because I'm sad. And that the interstitial like
both men and women wore a lot of layers like that was part of it.
But also because like they didn't have like Central Heating
and central air. And so for like a lot of like a
lot of it was based in practicality.
A lot of it was like in hot in the summer, you're gonna sweat
you want to sweat into underclothes and not like your
nice wool suit that you maybe only have one of or two of,
right? So like that was like so that
was it is like we're going to sweat into the cotton like, you
know, Foundation Rate. But then the same thing in the
winter. It's, you had to figure out how
to insulate you had to figure out when you don't have central
heating, you've got a fireplace. You know, for like most of time,
there was like, one central place like it wasn't, your house
was just 72 degrees. It was you sat by the fire
whatever. So that was part of it.
But then also like structurally, like the shape of clothing was
often like or like the shape of your body and clothing was not
necessarily the same thing, like it Elizabeth the time, like it
was like very true. Triangular.
So you had to use like stays, you know, and then in like,
Victorian times, like it was, it was like more of like an
hourglass figure and that kind of thing.
So you had these like foundational garments that were
like, informing the structure underneath the dress or or the
suit or whatever. Because men also warlike
foundational support garments for like a really long time.
And it was it was that was part of it.
Some of it was because, like, modern considerations, like,
zippers. And even like buttons didn't
exist for a really long time. Velcro didn't exist like that
kind of thing. So you had to figure out
different ways to like close stuff which would also add bulk
and weight and and you had to make stuff differently.
Like you make a dress very differently with the zipper than
you do with like lacing or closing in the front or that
kind of thing. And then, lastly, Eric because I
know that this is something that you are deeply invested in.
Oh yeah. A lot of it had to do with cost
because like like the number that I always use is like a full
set of like Elizabethan men's clothing, like double it.
It pants shoes pose shirt like like the just all the component
pieces would have cost about as much as a Toyota Prius.
Like I was Toyota like a used Toyota and so like you're
looking at thousands and thousands and thousands of
dollars for these garments and so it because like you are
making the fabric, you were making the linen, you were
making, you know, right? So like you had to take care of
it and you couldn't wash it, they didn't have washing
machines. So like you had To like adapt
it. A lot of it came down to like
wearing shit underneath to keep the sweat out of what you were
wearing. So anyway, that's our podcast on
moving. Thanks for being here.
What's his like a deal with the devil?
It's like you're sweating more in order to not sweat, on the
things that you don't want to sweat up.
And that sounds like a nightmare.
I would not have. I would not have been able to
handle handle Elizabethan and Tudor old-timey times.
You know, with all the, with the candles, you know, the pre
electricity time. Yes.
Why wait, why wouldn't you have been able to?
Because I would have been dead. I would have been dehydrated and
sweating and dead all the time. I would never have left the
house. I would have found the coolest
place in all of the Shire and I put his sad there and and eatin
fuckin and drank butter beer or something like that.
Even great. Oh hey, look up cat growl,
congratulations. You made it to the middle of the
episode. Look at you, get some water, eat
some food, keep your socks dry, you know, all the stuff, all the
stuff I just want to remind you again that Katie and I have
announced our tour schedule for the upcoming couple months and
whatnot. You can find the entire schedule
at infinite Quest podcast.com clicking on the tour dates link.
But before you click the link, I want you to admire the beautiful
picture of me and Katie that was taken by Jay Woodbury
Photography in Alabama. Ah, go check them out.
They do Boudoir Photos. They do wedding photos.
They do like just cool photos in General.
De Woodbury photography, please. Check them out.
Anyways, that's enough of the talking about stuff.
So I'm gonna go on back over to the episode now.
Translate transition I was transition not translation
transition. What other thing I'm really
worried about well, now I'm just isn't worried about, that's not
the term isn't worried but I'm thinking about is like when you
when I get put in a new situation with anybody, I think.
Oh no. I mean I'm and I am only one
person so I can't say anybody but I think when a person when
you go in to add a new situation, your kind of
isolating yourself as a variable.
You're like. All right?
Everything is different except for one thing and that's me.
And so will you Can sort of like dissect, like, what, what, what,
what was I like? What was it?
Like, when living in California versus?
What was it, like? Living in Georgia?
Because they're very different except for one thing, which is
me, right? So, you're sort of, you know,
just like, you know, if you want to figure out what an ingredient
tastes like, you want to like isolate that as a variable.
Yeah, it does a terrible analogy.
But, and so, I'm kind of, which is a good and a bad thing
because, like, I will like all inevitably, notice things that I
like about myself. Like, oh, look at that.
I am doing. Something that scares a lot of
people but I don't feel scared. That's cool.
I'm I'm good at change in some ways, right?
But then also, I'm bad at change in other ways and I'm going to
notice those as well. And so, it's always a very
poignant sort of a very potent experience moving like this and
I'm excited for it. But it's, I'm also kind of
nervous for it's sort of like, you know, like how in movies.
I like the like, the main character will go into a tree
and like have some crazy spiritual experience in the tree
where they learned. Tough about themselves.
It's like a very common Trope. In movies.
Kind of feels like kind of its kind of like that we're like.
But it's only on the transition because eventually I'll get used
to being in Georgia. But only during that transition
when like everything is new. And I have to like, be like, oh,
I need to go get groceries. Where, you know, where do I get?
Is there a dentist? You know, that kind of stuff,
all that stuff is really, really reveals me to myself and I know
I'm really bad at a lot of those things like, you know, getting
insurance and making sure I have the right insurance and then
making I'm sure like my fucking dentist is in network and shit
like that. I'm garbage at that kind of
stuff, but we were talking about earlier.
God bless you, ruins the podcast.
We're gonna have to start over. Let's start it over.
No, no, no, no. I'll do some cool dude.
Lead ads and definitely leave that in because it's funny.
But should I lost a wig? I'm back.
I got it, I got it. I got it.
I got it.
Oh yeah. But like we were talking about
before Like when we do poorly at stuff, for when we fail at
stuff, that's like another failure that you don't have to
make again. And so I'm really not excited to
have to make all the goddamn insurance company phone calls
and have to make sure that the, my car is registered in
different. All that stuff is like, pulling
teeth to me but but every time I have to do it, I get better at
it. And it's a little less scary.
Yeah. Well, it also.
You gotta cater Source on your side, I do an outsourced, we can
do like one thing a day because you don't have to do it all at
once. Like that's the thing is like,
is I really struggled to like, you know, especially with like
you don't you move and have to set up like gas and electric and
all that shit and like everything is privatized in
Georgia. So it's not just like you, like
call the city and they like turn on your water or whatever like
you have to like like you have to call around to like different
companies to like get the best deal on gas.
Which like it's like a trash like trash is privatized in
Georgia. So like selling, there's like
multiple trash companies you have to like call and be like
how, how many dollars will it cost me to take my garbage from
you? And you have to like price
compare and it's a fucking actual living Nightmare and
selling my God. Yeah.
So like I will help you be all your utilities are covered at
the place that you're moving. But like it's like a whole like
everything's privatized. So like that whole thing.
It's just it sucks but I'll I will get we will do it together,
my friend. Well, thank you, I will real
quick before I forget a friend of mine told me a financial tip
that kind of blew my mind but he he basically but it's danger.
It involves risk. Well for a very specific reason
but basic he has a credit card and he has all of his bills.
All of them just get charged to that credit card and then pays
the credit card bill. So all of his bills is just one
build. Just just paying my credit card.
That's what I just fucking really do.
You raise it like a common thing because that blew my mind I mean
it's like common but like that's like yeah.
Like everything is just hooked into my card and then I just pay
my like the one bill every month like or if it doesn't come out
of like if they can't do like a credit card, then it's like
direct deposit out of my bank account, but I pay the credit
card out of the same bank account every month.
So I can write the same thing. That's, I mean, the one winner
is makes I've never had a credit card before because I'm really
nervous to like spend money on a tab, like the Hat.
That's just like a slippery slope to me, but that does sound
like a very good. I didn't have a credit card
until I moved down here. Like I never had a credit card
like I only ever had a debit card and then I finally was like
I needed to like rent a car and I was like fuck and so is like a
fine and so I like I got it and then I was like but it's like
it's for me at least it's like I spend the same amount of money
because I don't ever think about it as a tab.
Like I think that's like the one thing is Like I just I've never
thought of my credit card as like oh it's like free money.
It's like, no, like you have to have that money to spend it.
And so like I just, I think, I just think about credit cards
weird because it's like if I don't have the money to buy
something, I don't buy it. Hmm.
Yeah. That makes sense.
I had another 20. Yeah.
But on in terms of you helping me set of stuff up which thank
you very much, I would love help setting up stuff up and I did
keep telling us stuff up but I also like I don't want to Come
dependent on. Well, it's like it's like a fine
line where I don't, I want it. I want to learn to do to do the
things that I can learn to do because I think at some point,
it's sort of like, a Serenity Prayer thing.
Like, grant me the serenity to accept the things.
I cannot change the courage to change the things I can, and the
wisdom to tell the difference, which I love, because if it's
something that, like, I can learn to do, like, I can learn
how to be good at insurance. I can learn how to be good at
fucking, you know? Coming financially responsible,
like I could learn those things and I want to but sometimes
there are things that you're not going to learn to do or it's
raining like unlikely. Like, I'd be very surprised if I
learned to have a more accurate perception of time.
Like, that's not that's not likely going to happen.
We're gonna have to accept that that's just sort of the case and
I have to Outsource stuff and use timers and use plug-in, stop
watches and stuff. That just is what it is.
So I'm happy to lean on Outsourcing.
For that. But when it comes to something
that I can learn to do, I want to like lean on, you know, you
know, know if they lean on you but you know me when you're not
strong and I'll be your friend. I'm a motherfucking.
I'll help you carry it out. I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's not going to be in sync on
the thing. Anyways, Somebody came to my
twitch stream today and their name was it was something.
Bye. Bye.
And so every time I say it, I
had to do it. My I'm twitch.tv slash.
Hey, dude. Haha, plug, and live.
Every every Deputy 12:30 Eastern.
Excuse me, I just did it plug for my twitch that was lame.
But, oh, so if it's something that I know I'm capable of
learning, then I feel comfortable like Outsourcing
like to you to help me do those things.
But in every, but I want I don't want to end up bleep.
Reliant on that. And I know and I do reason I'm
leading leading on the so hard, is because I know I have a
tendency to do that so I don't want to make some if, you know
you, dear listener. Hello.
I hope you're having a great day if you're driving.
Look, look at the look at the road.
Is it a nice day? I hope it is.
If you're not driving, you don't have to look at the road.
You can look at whatever you want.
Fuck was I saying? That bit, just trying to like oh
yeah, the only reason I'm harping on this so hard is
because Cuz I know I have a tendency to do that because my
brain goes like because the problem is like I need to pay my
bills and stuff like that's that's the immediate problem
that my brain is addressing. So if somebody else, like let's
say, does that for me, like I'm not at which I'm not asking you
to do Katie, but I don't mean like with your money but like if
you handled my finances or whatever, then my brain would
just go. Oh problem solved.
Like now it's getting done, even though it's not me doing it.
And so, I noticed that I do that, my brain will just go like
Oprah, Solved somebody else's doing it, right?
And then just be like, alright, cool and then I'll just forget
about it and then lean on that person towards videos the
difference between like, hey, Eric, come over and you can call
the insurance company. Well, I'm paying my bills.
So we like body double each other and like, yeah, Eric.
I'm gonna I'm gonna do your homework for you like, no, I'm
not gonna do your fucking homework for you.
Like, right if you want a fucking personal assistant, hire
one, that's not my job. Exactly.
And I think that's, that's sort of what I have in mind is like,
Just being like, hey, I Gotta Buy have, is a bunch of phone
calls. I need to make, but I don't want
to fucking make and so we can sit there and do that too.
That's, that's kind of what I mean.
And then also, like, I don't know, I you like own a house and
stuff, like, you're, you're like a real adult or as I'm like, a
fake adult dance. I might need help.
Being like, what's a premium? I mean, what is the durable?
Me stuff that like, I mean, I maintain that.
One of the great like, this is a fucking soapbox hashtag.
Know exactly what soapbox you're going on.
And I'm going to make Room for two baby making for do I think
like one of the biggest Des services that the u.s.
educational system does is like you gotta learn fucking geometry
and calculus. But at no point in any of your
fucking schools, Ling are really even at the Collegiate level.
Are we going to be like? And here's how to do your taxes.
And here's how to fucking fucking fight.
Like, here's what a premium it like, there's like none of that.
Like a, like a Specially if you're like a theater major like
you know maybe if you're like you know taking like business
courses or investing courses. When I really, that's not shit
that I did I was like taking like Shakespeare and like
fucking like I was going to be such a fussy class.
I was fucking in Fosse class for two semesters what's Posse
class, you know like Fosse dancing like that.
No, no I do not have a very qualified Fosse dancer.
I took two semesters of Aussie dance in college.
Anyway, I'll well Deal with that later.
But anyway like it just edit infuriates me because like I
feel like then you get to the real world and you just
immediately feel an apt because you're just like, how do I call
the insurance company or how do I whatever?
And so you have to have, you got to know a guy, you gotta know,
you gotta know somebody who like knows that shit and then you go,
what do I do? And then maybe they help you but
it's like I don't understand why there's not like a taxes class.
Then why is there not like a 1099 class like I do?
Don't fucking understand, it's ridiculous.
I mean, I just went through a whole thing.
You were there. This is what I was on the phone
with the insurance company for two and a half hours.
But basically, my my income had changed because the pandemics
are we fucking by income, it changed and because of that, the
subsidies that I qualify for for insurance from the state of
California had changed and because I didn't notify them of
the change in income, they took my insurance away.
So I had been uninsured. A month by the time I noticed
and just thought, like so there's Federal subsidies
there's State subsidies and all this stuff.
There's like you qualify for certain ones but it's your
responsibility to tell them how much nobody tells you this and
like the frankly, like the Noam Chomsky and like actual reason
soapbox time again, is because the powers that be don't want
you to be good at that kind of stuff because they make money
off of you being bad at it. I'm sorry.
Now, I'm gonna go political here, is that?
Okay? There's a little bit.
I don't think anybody would inherently disagree.
I'm gonna yank green agrees with me on this but like, it is.
Okay? If you disagree, just be
respectful about it. Indeed, the reason taxes are so
hard to do in the reasons like the government knows how much
you owe, but you still have to figure it out is because
companies like into it TurboTax. Don't like they make their money
on taxes, being hard and complicated.
And so, they paper lobbyists to keep taxes hard and complicated.
It's very simple. Anyways, the point is Is that I
would love your help figuring all that stuff out and I
appreciate you not making me feel dumb for not knowing those
things because that's another weird part is like, you don't
know that you don't know those things like it's an unknown
unknown, like I didn't know that, I didn't know those things
until they become a serious problem, until I started getting
phone calls about it in like letters of saying like hey you
really fucked this up this month, dude.
That was like, what did I miss? I didn't know that it existed.
How can I be bad at it? And it's really frustrating and
if you have ADHD like getting up to speed on that kind of stuff.
Yeah, it's I mean, it is mountainous.
I just this is this I just want like full fucking Circle all the
way back but like doing it get three topics on one.
This is a pro tip. This is like the one of the
biggest Pro tips I have if you are moving.
Before like, and, you know, rental, maybe you don't have to
do it as much. But like, I feel like selling
your house or like, whatever one of the best gifts that you can
give the person moving into, your house is just a list of the
services that you used and how to contact them.
The people that like lived in this house before us, had a
folder that we like inherited. When we got the house and inside
it was like, here's the That we called when we got ants in the
kitchen. And here's the plumber that we
always went with and here's like the, the septic tank people, and
like, here's the gas company that we used in like this.
It was like the most useful fucking thing because like I
moved to a new state and a new town where like I didn't even
know that privatized garbage collection was possible.
I didn't even know that was a thing that existed in the world
and then I like Ike, we like got and they've got this yellow.
A folder that was like, here's our trash company and here's the
gas and it was like amazing because then like, you know,
like yeah, that's so if you are moving, consider doing that for
the person, you know, even if it's just like, it doesn't have
to be fancy, just like a little handwritten list.
Super, super useful. Gives everybody a leg-up helps.
It's like solve so many problems.
That is amazing. That is that, as people say, the
Lord's work. That is the nicest thing.
Yeah, it was really cool. God, I can't get over that.
Privatized trash, dude. It's a whole thing that is so
nuts. Yeah.
And then the trash company got bought by the other trash
company. So yeah like the trash company
got trashed. So and so like it sucked because
now our trash cans say the wrong company and so sometimes they
forget to take our garbage Protocol is that vertical
integration? I think the kind of I guess it's
lateral integration because you're buying up is really
weird, but it's really cool. The one fun thing though is like
I get a weird satisfaction out of getting good deals.
Like, I'm always really proud of myself because it makes me feel
like a grown-up and so like like what?
Like, what? Like, I have it and it's like,
one of the, I just have it saved in my calendar, but I go call
the gas company. This is why I do is like every
August. I call the gas company, and I'm
like, all right. All right, listen, let's do.
We're gonna, we're gonna do a deal, you're gonna give me a
good, right? And I was like, because I called
The other company down the street and they said that they
would give me this deal and then they go.
Oh no we want your business will give you a better deal and so
like for the past like you know, your utilities are supposed to
go up. Might have consistently gone
down because I'm so good at like negotiating with like the gas
go. Because I'm just like, listen,
you and I both know that you don't care about this point, o
two cents a therm but I do, and I will Debbie.
What can you do for me? Debbie Debbie, what can you do
it somewhere, Rand, Paul, just got a massive erection.
It's great. I talk a lot about, like, I'm
just like negotiating with Debbie from customers, or is the
best thing. The best thing I'm sorry for
bringing up. Rand Paul's erection, I feel.
No, I'm not. No, let's be honest.
No, I'm totally not thing. Is funny.
That's pretty solid. I'd love for your help.
With the waist isn't Katie, what is, what is the, what is your
trash can say? Like one of the letters on your
trash can. I think it?
I don't have to like everybody thinks it might get my garbage
cans says calm but it doesn't. I thought I was doesn't come,
but I've made him a number of videos with my garbage can
because, you know, my life is weird and everyone's always like
to sugars can stay calm and I'm like, no, it doesn't say fucking
calm. But everybody thinks that says
cop said have a lot in the past minute.
Katie, I think it, I think it says calm.
Now, I think it's just Cannon, I think Yeah, we have manifested
the reality. Your garbage can says come,
maybe it's entirely but it's also broken and they won't
replace it as super annoying you trash can.
Yeah. It's like they like the lid
broke off of it was like it. Hangs down now and they like
won't give us a new one and it's like really stupid.
Trash cans are weirdly like sacred aren't that?
It's like because I've lived in places where like the government
owns the trash cans, you just like use them.
So it's like a big deal to get your trash cans to on.
It's like a whole thing. It's true for one time, I just
forgot to pay my trash bill and they took back the trash can
They like repoed my trash cans. It was a really embarrassing
that she had to like call fucking garbage can company and
they were like, you didn't pay your bill and I was like, I
thought it was direct deposit. They're like, oh, we canceled
direct deposit because we got bought by another company and I
was like well what are you gonna tell me that?
And they're like oh you should have we're gonna send out
letters. So I was like okay cool so I
have to like pay my like like missing trash bill and then they
brought back our trash cans but it was like Really purse because
I like we're supposed to see a trash can.
Every, I seriously thought somebody had stolen our trash
cans for like two days and I was like such a weird thing to do
and then I like call the company and they're like, no we repoed
your trash. I just said, I just had a whole
story playing in my head of like your trash can it's like scared
and alone. It's like changing hands and
it's like it's you know, like the sad Hulk music walking away.
Music is all in on the street. Like broken, I like broken and
sad. We is this, how long have we
been talking on this podcast? Well, we, we def.
Well, we definitely did not Katie.
We did not Flex about for half an hour before your change.
Yes, that's true. That's 100% to happen.
That's true it. And we did not take like a
10-minute intermission to talk about my famous painter.
A great great great grandfather Han scoot.
It's true for a little while. We didn't do that.
Definitely didn't do that either.
So in terms of actual podcast recording, we have recorded 50
minutes. Okay?
Because I think this might be the worst podcast we've ever
made, like I'm just gonna call it, I'm just gonna call it.
I mean, our first one was pretty bad, I feel like our first
episode was pretty terrible. It was like 9 hours long and I
recorded it on a potato but I have no idea what's happening
right now and I'm fine with that.
I want you to know that I love you and I'm just happy to be
here. But this one not a winner.
Not a winner. I think it's a winner.
I think it's absolutely a winner.
I think this is the best podcast.
Anybody has ever made ever. but, but however, I do want to say, I
think part of honestly, I think part of the reason I keep
bringing up weird, doing stupid b and stuff is like, I think I'm
good at moving because I'm good at not giving a shit.
Like, I've made a lifestyle. I mean, she was like to add to a
problematic extent. Like yeah, there were years that
went by where like I deliberately didn't care about
anything because I'm gonna get hurt.
It's a long story. And so I think my habit of not
giving a shit about stuff makes me think that I'm really good at
moving and whatnot because I'm not looking, I'm not stressed,
I'm not nervous. But it really it's just because
I'm not aware of or caring about There will be things that I'm
doing wrong and it'll always come back to bite me in the ass,
it always does. And so I think I'm just sort of
nervous for dealing with the various realities that I'm not
aware of yet. That is that is that he gets
violent? I think that's super valid.
Also like I'm here for you and so like you know we can do like
body doubling stuff. I can like hang out with you
while you pack. I can yell at you to not pack
the And pillow that I know you're going to try and pack.
I know you're going to try and sneak it in the truck, Eric?
I know her. I'm going to throw it out the
window. If I want you to know, I'm I've
emotionally prepared, myself to throw that pillow out, the
goddamn window on the highway and traffic possibly endangering
the lives of others. Please do you better not?
You better not bring it because otherwise you want to murder
some people you'll be it'll be on your hand.
So you can't bring the pillow, you have to gonna have to snotty
gonna have to throw it away. Eric, can I tell you what?
My at my funeral open casket, I'm going to be on that, goddamn
pillow, I want to be all dressed up like Howard Stark.
And my head is going to be resting on a very off-white.
It's, I mean it's not supposed to be off way but it's like the
color of a manila folder now it's and what it was like 16
things I've ever seen in my life.
Like, I love you so much, it's disgusting.
Also, I would postulate Eight that if it is your funeral
you're like you wouldn't because that pillow like I feel like
just sleeping on. It is like the secret to
immortality because of although yeah biome that lives inside of
that pillow. Looks like the sacred culture of
specific bacteria in its the sacred scoby lives in liquid
Sculpey it's like some like Rick and Morty.
Shit it's like the like but hey I put the ant wall on the like
one show. Oh, I'm just solar opposites.
Yeah, there's like entire epic Star Wars in sagas.
There's they're just living in the gone.
They're about to invent nuclear weapons just very scary, it's
great. I that's all like honestly.
I really wish that solar opposites would just stop making
us watch show like the shows about the family.
I only care about the ant people.
That's all I care about. I don't care about the show.
I don't care about the family. I don't care about the kids.
I just want to know what's going on in those.
Little Ant boxes. That's so like you you haven't
seen the Show solar opposites on Hulu, it's made by Justin
Roiland. The guy that the inventor of
Rick and Morty. But it's a really it's about
these aliens that live on earth and it's very like sort of
lovecraftian in the same way that Rick and Morty is in some
ways. And so these aliens have this
ray gun that shrinks people. And so one of the kids just has
as Reagan and whenever somebody like insults him or just
whenever he feels like it, he'll shrink people and put them in
this match. Of like and he'll thing in his
wall in his room and like an entire government has formed
inside the wall and uprisings and dictators class systems.
Anyways, it's amazing. Please watch it.
And all the stuff that they use in the wall are like little
things. Like they use bottle caps as
plates and I love stuff like that.
More than anything else in the world.
So, anyways, highly recommend, well, Katie I think that's about
it for this for this, this and this already content as we
already have. Aside.
I was thinking about I was like, how can we make our a, th how
can we just double down on last week's episode of as to whether
or not ADHD is real? And then we're putting this shit
show. So at least there's some proof
in the world. It's great for a lot of people
say that they just like hearing people talk the way that they do
rate which I totally get like do I like it's an honor to be that
person for other people, you know.
I used to be really embarrassed about it.
I used to be really For like a long time.
I was always really liked that. I like we'll just like subject
change like Galaxy brain like Jeff Bezos, lives in Seattle,
type shit. And then, and then I would just
go. Oh, well, maybe it's okay
because like, I don't know. I feel like people, like I feel
like fruit snack Nation gets me, man.
Bruce Acuras. I feel like they do to thank you
for snack Heroes. Thank you for a sec Heroes.
Also on Co are we are we just going to agree to make that a
thing? I don't?
I don't know if that's a thing. You kept trying to make that a
thing. Thing?
But I don't know if it's a thing, I don't know.
It's a thing because the heroes like your fruit snack thing came
from like, organically Were Heroes is just what I decided to
name my discords first nation. Like chose the moniker like they
chose like, I had nothing to do with it.
So right just join for something.
Like I don't I don't have the need to like have my own brand
thing. I can just be like yeah fucking
fruit snack Nation. I don't know maybe like but also
maybe questers but then that's like that show the quest.
Which by the way, is the greatest reality show ever made
in the history with What's that about?
Oh my God. Okay, Eric, so the question was
show that KO TV. It like I think it was like,
2013 or I don't remember. But the premise of the show was
that they took a bunch of fucking LARP nerds and they and
it was a reality show, but it was half reality show and then
half like, fucking just like Adventure and so they had actors
and they brought all the larpers to like this castle and, like,
Bulgaria or some shit. And they had all these, like,
actors in the actors come out. Be like my notes, you're here.
And the Queen and like what? And then you have to like go on
an adventure but they had like he's characters who are like the
queen like the magician like all this shit.
But there were like, but like, there's like this cult following
around Quest and it was great. It's like the best fucking show
and one of the girl's name was Bonnie and Bonnie wrote like a
song about she wrote like a like a Bartok fucking inspiration
song about like everybody on the quest and it was like the
courage you shit, the whole world and everybody lost their
mind about it. It's like the best show and then
like last Year. They announced that they were
doing like a new season of it and everybody's like super
excited because I call the quest the quest Army was like yes
fuck. Yes.
The quest and then it was only kids, they just got kids it was
like teenagers and ever. I was I was like I've run a
Renaissance Festival, I'm a competitive.
Fucking oh my God like I was so quality I was so angry that was
like this is it I'm going to be on the bus but next season Quest
que Des or show. Nope.
They fucking took teenagers and I'm still mad about it.
