Hi everybody. Welcome back to infinite Quest. It's we Katie Soros. Is it totally threw me? I thought you were gonna I've never heard you say. Hi everybody. Its and then not say. Now I'm trying to think of how I normally do it. You go. Hi everybody. It's me. Cait is Doris. That's, I messed it up. That's good because, you know, let's, let's pretend that ready. Hi everybody.

It's me. Katie is Doris and it's me, Hague God I'm getting a mess, it up on purpose but that's, that's, that's dumb and it's me a good. So um, if you're wondering why this episode Sounds like garbage like us. It's because Eric and I are both sick. Don't Panic. It's not, it's not the covid. It's just it's just the poorly

timed Autumn cold. Yeah, I suppose it is, I was really sick last week and then right around like when our normal work recording days talking not only to talking like hurt but like my throat would close after I said, the first couple thing. Anyways, it sucked. So that's why we oppose that last week, and now this week, okay? See, I have the same illness but a week behind so we did we knew we're like we missed two weeks in a row or never making a podcast again and obviously HD.

But so so so ordered to make it. So that the year we have spent building this podcast doesn't crumble because two of us got sick week over week, we decided we decided that we would just do like a really informal episode on because it's sort of like ice I really like the mid-season finale kind of what happens right here and I have no idea, 15 episode 1 million, 1 million billion. We also, I can we just came off of a whirlwind of a past couple time units.

Been a very, very fun and enjoyable, and just all together, strange. Couple of months. Yeah, welcome to the retrospective, dude. I don't have that sound effects, but in your mind, you know, like when Like the Chimes chime and then it's like a yeah, I'm getting. Like they do. Do that in Wayne's World? Yeah, I must think I'm the Garth Garth. Yeah, I guess I don't know. I mean, I think Wayne is more like energetic and well, but he's also like, I feel like Garth is sort of, like, the

strange one, you know? I don't know. I think I feel like we think if we ever cosplay if you'd have, okay, here's my question. Of us destroyed which one of us is our village. Oh man. I'm kinda think I can do. Think I was a bit of I think of it. I think I'm Troy. I think I'm Troy. That's, I mean, I'll take it. I think we have we both have elements of both but ultimately like, come on, come on, come on, come on. I mean, come on. I I do have a Holodeck in my house. So that's true.

It's you do. Is that the room does that the room? The door. We never open. Yeah, that's what's in their holiday. It's not. What's it called? What do they call it? The crematorium? Up in our closet. So oh yeah. You literally do don't act like I don't have a holiday. I forgot about it. You totally do anyway. So so what are we did we do we went to fragment hon, went to Dragon Con, which is great which is what was what was your ear owners bugs in this water.

Eric, I drunk drink. The buck protein think about what is a magic bug. It's magic. Do you want to eat it? That's fine. But we did some panels there. It was cool. What's your favorite panel? Um, I honestly I really Like to neurodiversity a gaming table, which you can watch on YouTube if you want to check it out. Oh, yeah. DragonCon posted all of their bods and stuff. 06, oh, yeah. So I think it's available still, but it was a really, really good panel. We had two amazing guests.

Shout out to horse girls podcasts and they were just, they were so good and it, I just I really feel like that pain all like, I don't know. It just went really well. I was really proud. Yeah, well I mean it's here's a little well I'm wow. Oh my gosh, I was about to excuse myself. And I was going to excuse myself for excusing myself and it ended up just a bunch of syllables coming out. Anyways, I feel like it really. It really scratches the that panel really scratch the itch of

like the mission. I guess. Like the mission being like to promote acceptance and education about nerd of urgency. Gradually. Actually turn like 30 people away. Yeah she's bananas. And and it just really felt like yeah like this is why we're doing it. Like it is Is to try to like talk about that stuff and hopefully have an impact and make interesting cool people who also want to talk about that kind of stuff. Well, speaking of interesting cool people gencon gencon.

Yes, it was fucking chicken was fucking well I got The Vibes. Jen Cotter. Just like a Mac. It was like it was so much fun and there's so much space. There is a space like everything at DragonCon Dragon was great but everything was just close to get. I mean not as close together as well because of social distancing and like it was it was half capacity.

Everything so like, It wasn't like literally shoulder-to-shoulder cramped but it just felt like everything you did was like, you had to duck your head or something like that. We're Gen Con was like a huge convention space. Like if you need a place to sit, there were places to sit you know it was much I don't know and come back to play D&D and invented an entire religion. I did do that. Yes. Would you like to tell that story for the people?

I don't really know what the story is but basically Katie and I played D&D with Quincy. Cavern James James Brown baby Merrill and lightbox. No lightbox know and I'm Deanne way. Thank you. I'll just say everything that you're going to say and it was forgetting. I was incredible. I mean well one it was titled. Tick-Tock Stars play D&D. I was like hmm. Okay but it was it was just absolutely fantastic and my character is the first time I played D&D. Not as wonkin for one.

Yeah. Weird, but my character was cashish P. Don't worry about it. And this whole thing was chastised, was going to be a quite a No-No xuan fellow but actually talk more, if an idea quite a dark past but he also had a basket and that basket snot for holding its friendship, and the basket quickly became the entire thing. The entire show, like, about this basket around at this basket concern for this traffic, Characters were sacrificing themselves for this basket.

Like it was. Yeah, it was such a problem is lovely. It was nice. And it was so much fun, that was awesome. It was a sort of a sentient basket that had a wild magic apples in it. Yeah, while magic apples great time, I had, you throw me at a giant monster and then took a bite of the wild magic apple as we flew at it to hopefully turn into a giant octopus. I didn't I turn into a crystal you did, but you saved the day turning into that girl.

But I did see the new. So I'm just going to say, This you as your friend. And somebody who cares about you very much, Eric, that was goddamn good. Dandy. Hey, thanks for the soup, really crashing to. I'm really proud of you, but he was great. Everybody was super nice.

It was really nice to meet all of them because I've been looking up to like, well, I mean, friggin Quincy's Tavern, he was like one of the first graders I thought on Tick-Tock like, you know, like walked on the screen I was like, this is an account. Like yes, please. This is the kind of Your World. It was great.

It was really nice to me. We have some testing and then we got back and I think we had like two days before all of a sudden I woke up and my throat was wretched and it was I won't get into details. I was sick, conk, conk run, that's what that's that's what it's called when you get a cold right after convention, indeed. And then both of my feet stops working very well. Yeah, I can still kind of walk but I'm really worried about feel like you're glossing over

that one. Well, I guess I know I am I have a podiatrist appointment later this month or next month, but yeah, I'm definitely. Close to not being able to watch. I mean, I don't know. It got it flares up and goes back down when it's really bad. It's, yeah, it's hard to walk at all. I know. But, I mean, I'm, you know, I'm doing all the things that are needs to go into the doctors and stuff, and the x-rays and all that's happening.

So, and if you don't take care of yourself, I will beat you. So, don't don't do that. Right in the feet, bring the feet. Fiction, are you punching the tops of my feet? I was very like handmaid's tale. Which is a, like, a really dark reference. What are they? Slap? Their feet. It's I'll tell you off of the particles. I mean a very dark joke just that I'm sorry. It's I was picturing.

I was picturing like me on my back with my feet in the air, like I'm a baby getting changed and then you're like, just punching my / D like that, like boxing training. That's so that is very silly. I feel like I can't decide of that particular not Think it would tickle. I don't think I don't know, does anything. I feel you, Katie's currently pretzeling ourselves Haitian. What's the punch? My freedom?

If so, then we are next convention is frolic on speaking of beating people in the feed, huh? Frolic on. So it's gotta be at least one person's thing there. One, at least at least one. You think. Least one because I mean, I know like foot fetish it's totally a thing. But like yeah. Foot like beat like, I don't know. Impact play with. But only with feet, you know, I mean It's gotta be out there somewhere. I'm curious to meet those people. Let's Google it right now.

Just kidding, click click, click click, click, click. Yeah. And then surprise announcement. Um, packs question, mark packs unplugged. We got surprised invited to Pax unplugged, which is fucking Brad and I'm really, really excited about it. So that is, so, that's that. And also, we are still streaming on Twitch. Yes, that's the yes. That going for you. Eric, I'm loving it, dude. I'm super digging it. Twitch.tv slash hey, goood stream every weekday at 12:30 Eastern.

I'm a super loving it. It's really great. I don't know. This is really great. Looks at the world. Thank you very much.

I've got a thing where if you if it's for those of you unfamiliar with twitch like the money in twitch is B. So like you, it's like one bit is 1 cent and so people can donate B during extreme and I have it so that every donation of bits between 100 bits and 320 B spawns a random table or NPC from Minecraft. And one of those mobs is the dragon, the Ender Dragon. And so people are having fun looking for this. I've little doodoo lead ads but

actually really dead. So when somebody finds it, are you going to move it to a new location? I don't know. I can figure something, I guess I can like a moon location. Yeah. But you know, no. Like I feel like, oh, it feels like old news at that point, you know? Well, no, because then you can have like a running list of people who've discovered the Ender Dragon. Well, it's true. Yeah. Like the, like a cool wall. Yeah. Well, Fame employee of the month. Okay, that's fair. Yeah.

Are you looking streaming? What are you looking streaming? Do you mean where I stream it? Twitch.tv/kvd isn't Or is everything, but all the letters are just the way that the letters are supposed to sound because twitch gave me Katie source which I was like, really is pretty sweet. Sorry to the other Katie source is fight.

Now I've been using that account for I'm just I'm so pretty sure it was me. I'm 100% convinced because I remember when we started streaming with melee ball, I wanted to comment and I made an account and And then got Oreos before we. Yeah and what that was like before it was on Twitch and everything so I'm like okay but yeah anyway it's going really well. I have a lot of fun. We have a really really like awesome crew of regulars who have come out like a morning.

We like hanging out showed all of you know you are so you know who you are eggs in the chat and it's just it's the best thing. It's the best thing is so cool. It's really nice. Well, I didn't morning, but it's also, it's kind of rare but occasionally, we'll get somebody in the chat who just just stumbled pass. And which like most people are from take heart but and it's just really nice like because I'll just come in like high and everybody's just like, hi, welcome. Like it's just the most

welcoming. It's just delightful. I'm so proud of her and it's fun. When there's trolls, it's publishes the trolls today. Did you really? I did I one asked me about my stalkers, imagine that means. Breasts. Yes. Okay. Tata steel out, there your stalkers. And now I just like that's what I'm calling them for forever.

This is nothing. Good. And I was like, and then I was like when we band them because rightfully so, because don't go on the internet and ask people what their stalkers but then I was like, but then I liked it so much that I was like, no way. Like I wanted to thank you for that gift because that's like I used to call him yabbos because of hocus-pocus. I was like, Tong course, dude. Red wolf and then there's another one.

I don't even know what he said. He's something very rude and then and then we're like, okay by. But I know it was not, it was not as funny as tocker's also. Oh, something I definitely also all of y'all listeners. Hello. We were able to save up money to get me streaming computer. Thanks to just all of our patrons shout-out to the patient's. Thank you so much. Oh yeah. I'm not gonna do a patreon song this week because I think you'll die. I died. But it's what did not go this morning?

I have some regrets, but we will do just the, the greatest to make patreon mashup. You've ever heard in your entire life? Next week. So get ready for it for it. Yeah, so I have this drink of your now and I'm I'm getting really a lot back into Minecraft. I mean I've been getting back into Minecraft past like year but anyway so I'm doing some Minecraft streams now. But anyways I don't know I think there's this is just there's a lot to come on Twitch.

I believe I have some ideas that I'm slowly starting to pursue that. I'm not going announced yet but I'm excited for them. So go follow me on Twitch if you don't already. Yeah, it's gonna be really cool. And also, I will let you know that we've been on a couple of podcasts. So if you're like but no, I want more. Infinite question my life, but you're already a wrapping up your episode. We we were on Iran. Are We There Yet? Which is the ADHD hives. Amazing, super cold.

Yeah. Shout out to my friend named Ross. Yeah, he's laying off. I was supposed to host that podcast we but then we met and we started doing stuff and it all just started like taking off. So I have been like hot, dude, I'm honestly, sorry. But a lot of that. I mean, Ross has the nicest guy in the world. He was like ah, just look nice working with you host now but yeah, are we there yet? Sorry, are we there yet? If I want to check it out. Also on my was featured on on.

G. If you want to check that out. And then also on tequila and T, which what a fun podcasts like honestly one of my favorite interviews I've done. So if you want to check out any of those, that is where we have fresh new material for you this week. But hey, speaking of Eric's computer and going to all of these conventions and all of this wonderful stuff that we were able to do. We are able to do that because of all of you and your support on our patreons and our venimos

and that kind of thing. NG and so I know usually we sing a silly song, but really, I don't have the voice for it. So instead I just I just want to say a genuine, thank you because you are the reason why we were able to continue our mission of education and advocacy for neuro divergency and finding it in the ways that we have in gaming and in kink in relationships and Tick-Tock and social media and all the things, like it's

because of you. So, thank you very much and if you are interested in joining our patreon family, you can do that by visiting patreon.com Infinite Quest. And if you do, we'll put your name in a song next week and it will be great as to be a well-rehearsed. It's true. It also, if you're not super strength of cash, like we never are what else really helps is.

Just sharing us around. If you got a friend, do you think might, like, any of our stuff, give them a little tweet or, or an Instagram message, or a snap? I was trying to get Snapchat joke, but that is actually what they're called, right? But that helps massively to Also rating us on whatever you're listening to on that helps massively and it to the Christina doesn't cost you nothing because helping us get the word out. Is one of the best ways that we are able to keep doing what

we're doing. And if you want us to come to a convention or an event near you that is requiring vaccinations, that is one of our new infinite Quest policies is we're not going to be appearing anywhere. That isn't required proof of vaccination, new policy. I mean I just I feel like we just need to like keep mentioning it right. Isn't right that we're going to be there.

Well, yeah, because I will, we agreed to so many of these, when we sort of went and things are on the up-and-up, we're like ah, vaccinations are on the rise, it's great. And then Delta very and happens is happening. And so the assumed trajectory was now not the center. So now we have to like go back and like really comb through. And make sure all their covid requirements are like Aces. Yes, and if they're not and I'm going to go, but yeah.

But so hey from all of us here at infinite cost. Thank you so much for listening. Feel free to check out those other podcasts if you want, check us out on all of our social meds lynxes. But from all of us here, in fact Quest. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening week, over week. Remember to take your meds, remember to eat a snack drink.
