Episode description

In this from-the-bed episode, Cate says "horny" a record number of times in a single podcast and also Erik talks about chemistry and how it led him to the perfect pesto recipe. They discuss how hyperfixations have shaped their past, present and future and set out to share their favorite hyperfixations, but, like most episodes, don't exactly get to the point.

Transcript

Hello, Eric, yes. Oh hi, let's make podcast. Yeah, let's make a podcast right here and right now everybody, if you're wondering why our audio sounds this way, it's because I'm recording this from the guest bedroom because I can't get out of bed because because I hurt so much. And so I set my phone on top of my dog, and this is how we're making a podcast today. Yeah dude. Bed podcast, I Parker was the hygiene episode. It was that was one of our most favorite episodes of all time.

We stopped trying to eat the phones for adults. Find a stand and sell spot for the probably like right there. Oh, exhales mode. That's gonna fall down about. Not if Not if we don't even know. If we don't even fucking like duct tape, it to the bed wondering. If all those Creeks are like vibrating straight to your phone, probably, this is a really great keypad. It's a great like a weirdly Creepy Bad creaky bad. It's not creepy about. It's a creaky bed is different as different thing.

Well you want to talk about fun stuff today. July, when turbo fun stuff, I thought of a really fun question, was that? Oh my God, that's my back. That's not questions. I know, I'm just saying it out loud. um, top. I don't want to give you a number top, however, many you feel like saying hyper fixations / hyper-focus has never hexose think about, right? Yeah, because as soon as talking to my therapist today about the Christmas, carol thing, the turkey think she was like, I'm

sorry what? And I was like, I had to like, explain what is the turkey? Well, her new illustrations for Those of you who may be new to a request. One time, I got bored and became the world's foremost expert on the turkey and A Christmas Carol, in a way that changed. I mean I was I was the person who invented that that was my idea. I invented that field of research. Yeah, for those of you that

Google fonts, is it still do it? It does it says infinite questo nice because I linked it to our website. Nice, instead of Mike, you have a Google phone say OK, Google. How big was the turkey in A Christmas? Carol and then it will just put me on speaker. And I just did it to all of your devices. Sorry, Alexa play by me Rhapsody, sorry to whoever they

just got. Um, but so is talking about it and, and like, I don't know, we just had this, like, really good conversation about how sometimes, like, you know, I feel like we like shit on. Oh, no, I don't want to speak for the group, but I feel like, sometimes you can get, like, frustrated about hyper focuses. And Fixations because like, you know, at some point they had and they like, we're off and

whatever. But I just started thinking about all of the ways in which like, my hyper fixations have like, genuinely improved my life or genuinely change my life. We're just genuinely become like, really important to me. And then I started just like I had this, like, just like weird wave of like, affection towards some of the hyper fixation that I've had. So, then I got curious about Like water, what are some of yours? Like, what are ones that I have been meaningful?

Or, you know, whatever I do? I mean, I think they range from like, you know, like a Heavy Hitters, you know, like making stuff out of coffee. Stirrers, that's like, oh also, I want to point out we've talked about this before but as a big pillow, the way that we Loosely distinguish between hyper-focus and Hyper fixation as hyper fixation is like a longer term

thing. So if you have like a These where, you know, you're really into a bookbinding or something like that that would be a hyper fixation. Hyper focus is like an instance of that. Yeah. When you're sitting at the desk and you like are just fully in the zone and you're like just doing the same thing for 10 straight hours that's in like hyper-focus. Yeah. So let me except, I think the biggest type of fixations in the make a Heavy Hitters makes about a coffee service for sure.

And, you know, like bread, but the smaller ones like the little, the ones little speckled egg won't. Like weird ones. Yeah. Extracting clay from the ground. That's about. That was a great one. I used to do a thing called dorodango. I told you about that. Yeah, they will subdue these little shiny mud balls.

So basically you get dirt and you refine it in such a way that you can make like a little ball and then use more dirt to like make the outside finer and finer until it's eventually, like the shiny little mud ball. They're called door. Oh, balls dor. Oh balls. Taro Dango anywho that was a really hard at 11. And I also think about a lot about how like, a good use of like hyper fixations is. You might forget like a lot of the stuff that you learned or did or whatever, but it's still

kind of in there around. Yeah, and it really broadens like your guests, it broadens the ways in which you can find things. Interesting. Which I think is cool because if you have like a week where you're really into Texture and then stop giving a shit. It's not like you have to be cut. You your that's like you failed because you didn't become an architect. Like it's cool now.

You walked out morning, when you walk down the street, you can be like, oh, that's called a pediment or those are called dentals because they look, like teeth or whatever it is. But I like the way that they sort of in they plan to each other, like, when I was in, I think eighth grade. I was, I had like this weekend where I was obsessed with trying to get elemental, sodium, how do you do that?

Well basically, the way you do it is you melt sodium, chloride table, salt and melt sulf, your mouth. Literally anything. Yeah. What I thought was just like, catch on fire? Yeah, I met Eric. I'm going to science. Meltzer. Oh yes, he melts. So important. Don't try this at home. You can't do it home, the temperatures you need are too high and it's just not going to happen, but don't throw this away. That's like going out of the

kitchen. It's really hard to melt salt and then run a strong electric current through it, which for some reason, makes the chlorine unbond with the Sodium, which then turns into gas and then you got chlorine gas. Switch will fucking kill you. Oh Jesus. Oh, don't trust the decision that you were like this is the thing I'm going to do this. Won't because Elemental. Sodium. Katie and dear listener is what's called an Alkali metal. There are a couple of them, I

can't remember. Potassium sodium. Something else? I know go. No, I don't know. I just think the name is silver, but this bed is so cranky. Well, what makes Collide Metals Katie is that the alkali metals motherfucking explode when they come in contact with water? What are you trying to blow shit up? Be honest, yeah, I'm kind of such a teenage boy, you know. Interesting. So sodium basically. It splits the water because it wants to tries to bond with the hydrogen and or tries to bond

with the oxygen. And so it flings the hydrogen, just into the air, which creates a big ball of hydrogen gas. And the reaction itself is endothermic, which means it's produces heat and it produces so much of that heat that it's able to ignite the hydrogen so it explodes. So anyways I wanted some of that.

And I felt, but I did learn a lot about the alkali metals is when I was 13. Now, the reason I bring this up is because sodium metal is so reactive with water, that it can even react with the water in the air. So just sitting on the table, it could just explode because it comes in contact with a water droplet or something. So, how do you store this stuff? If you need it to not, come in contact, even with the outside. Arkady, how do you do that in

class? No, well, I mean, you could store it in a vacuum, but what's the most efficient way of doing? It is to store it in oil, certain mineral oil. Sure. Because water can pass through and it keeps it light coating hitters. Yeah, like computers. Usually, you can put your computer, don't, please don't try this at home and then sue us. But one time, Eric told me that you can submerge your computer in mineral oil and it will still work. No, it's nothing apparently

people do because you can mine. Cool. The oil and it like it's a thing. Yeah, I mean I imagine it sounds fake, it sounds like something that like some troll would put on like Tumblr. So, like people, you know, how it's always like, every year, there's like some asshole who's like, hey, just a reminder. You don't have to defrost your church key before you deep fry. It just like, people, like explode, their turkeys.

Did, you know if you hold a diamond pickaxe and look at lava in Minecraft and press Q, it turns it into another right pickaxe. Did you know that it Don't you just throw it in the lava but he'll I also changed my hockey's. So, did you? Yeah, because you're pressing Q by accident. Thank you accident, throwing my shit. Baba, there's a pro-gamer move right, you know, such as I said, oh, it's X. I have to hit the X key because it means that I'm getting rid of mixing like economic sense.

Yeah. But so sodium, they store it in mineral oil to stop it from coming in contact with the air and well, the moisture in the air but the outsider. So 13 years later. I'm a cook in a restaurant. I'm making basil. Pesto basil, basil. I'm so excited to see where this goes. These are Lister. I have no idea where this is basil. Oxidizes really fast or Persinger. I have to move, I know, but it's gonna make a bunch of noise. I can't feel my leg. I'm sorry. I'm sorry listeners, we're doing

the best we can today. I'm really having a hard time basil pesto. I'm making basil, pesto basil oxidizes very quickly. And when you're making basil, pesto for like a nice restaurant, you want it to look really nice. You put it in mineral oil well so yeah it all rights. Yeah. Well so it the process is basically if you blanch basil really quickly it turns like a vibrant green but the second it you like start working with it in.

Chopping it up or whatever you're doing it starts oxidize and turn like a brownish, darkish greenish, bullshit color. And so I was like, wait a minute, what if right after you blanch them immediately toss them in oil and then worked with them from their to stop. Because I would say about sodium, I was like, dude, what if I need something just to not come in contact with the air? What's the easiest way to do that balancing? Well, we'll try tossing them, really well and neutral cooking

oil and it totally fucking work. That's amazing. I remember being very proud in front of my boss at the time. Nick and he asked me was like and I told him what I just told you about Saudi early prep chef and he was like we're in the we'd stop talking. We were you telling me about Saudi Arabia is because I got hyper focused on making Elemental sodium when I was 13 and even though I failed to make Elemental sodium, when I was 13, you know, Apply.

It gave me like context to think about something else later. That's amazing. I think it's kind of cool. Is it? It just makes the world more Vivid and I'm going to kind of cool. I mean, that's what I love. That's what I love about. All the hyper fixations that I've ever had is like, I always say like I don't know what I always always. Always say, DB power pole, the hip-hop eponymous and my Rhymes are bottomless. Um, that's like my favorite.

One of my favorite things about just like, you know, hyper fixations is how, you know, like you learned one thing when you were 13 and then it comes back again when you were, you know, 20 and then it comes back again when you're 27 and 35 or whatever like I just love That like I think it's absolutely fascinating and I wish like again, I'm speaking for myself I'm not speaking for the group but one thing that I've noticed in my own life is that I tend to devalue my hyper fixations

because I'm like, oh well it's just a hybridization is just silly or whatever. But it's like nah man, sometimes those type of fixations like stuff like like they come with you and you and you carry them with you, you know, during your life. Um also I just thought of this, I'm going to do this now. Um but hey, we want we want to know about yours. We want it. Dear listener. We want to know about your hyper

fixation. Yes, innocent electronic mail and I just remembered the password for our email which is a skit and funiculus podcast.com. I'm sorry if you emailed us in the past two months because I definitely forgot the password and I remembered it last night and so I checked the email there. Are a bunch of emails that role very nice. Thanks for sending us emails. I'm sorry, I forgot the password. There is a question mark that I forgot. I put in there.

Not going to tell you where hashtag safety first, but you will know it. No ask it was fuck a stocking mask at infinite Quest podcast.com. I was making a game of seeing how long I could watch Eric try and get a word in edgewise. I had a joke they totally passed. It was a bad joke but I did my side. My I have a joke face. He did. You'd absolutely had felt intentional at some point. It's like why you're really stretching this and now I thought that was me.

I was just I was just rolling. Well, another thing with hold on. I gotta see how long we've been recording. I have a stopwatch. What is this part? How long do you think we've been recording 12 minutes incorrect. Hello 15. Oh wow. Okay. Well, 14 minutes and 45 seconds, put the phone down, I was gonna say some really smart. Look, whole, I'm sitting down quietly, this is the Silliest way to record a podcast and I kind of think that it's the best thing. Yes, very nice. Just be, it's nice.

It is. So if you do have a cheese, subscribe to our patreon supporter, very important work, it'll work, we're doing patreon.com slash infinite Quest. You said it, so I had to, but when you get kind of good at stuff, I mean you started hobby you gotta kind of good at it and you stop when you start another one in. It kind of good at it and you stop and start another one. You get kind of you, you're hot, you get the thing that you're you're practicing is getting

kind of good at stuff. You got pretty good at getting pretty good at stuff and that's useful as fuck. Like the amount of times that you're a beginner when you're a person who has a lot of like sequential Hobbies you're a beginner all the time like you're always a beginner at something that you're doing like right now I'm a beginner at CAD software. I'm also a big dinner at tiny cities, killing Tony cities or so. Soldering aluminum cans together.

Like I'm a beginner at that and once they get caught, when did your soldering a loop? Yeah. Together. What? Ya want to make a? What are you doing in your office? I want to make a 1/12 scale suit of armor. Oh shit, I gotta send you that pattern. Yeah, I forgot. I'm sorry. It's okay. Sweetie anytime whenever I'm still doing like an initial experiment phase where I'm trying to figure out the best way to go in there because I just want it to look good, right? Build. 1/4 scale game person

sees. I don't know what that is. But yeah, the padding that you were. Oh cool. It's like you know you can make a lot of really good if you're, hey, if you're an SEO person or a medieval person, if you're a run Fair person and you're like oh no I don't want a game some but she costs money moving blankets dog. Oh yeah, game stand out of fucking double layer. What's the name like what's the noun? You're saying gambeson gambeson GA M bi is 0. NV e. PE PE gambeson campus. That's a made-up.

My also now I'm having a moment where I feel like I'm probably saying the wrong word. Oh, but I feel like I feel fairly confident that that's asked at infinite cost. Podcast.com. Okay. Be. That's and years. Yeah. It's like you're a beginner constantly. And I think that's really important. I think I mean I know you know I harp a lot about like failure practice.

Yeah and I think getting used to the experience of being In your and getting used to the experience of failing are extremely important things to like live a nice human life and I think as frustrating it is to like spend a bunch of money on hobbies and like get mad at yourself and you drop them. Like, that's pretty sweet, you know? Like I'm very comfortable being a beginner, I mean it's still uncomfortable but I'm comfortable being uncomfortable. This is opposite, I'm absolutely upset.

Your better, are you? Yeah, I fucking hate that part when it gets So mad like that's why I quit everything cause I'm like I'm not instantly. Like how you remember the one time when I was going to play the cello every day for two weeks, those are really cool week and a half. And I got mad because I wasn't Yo-Yo Ma by day three. I was like, she like I'm pushing I'm pushing back.

Sweetheart, push it back on it because like, I'm not saying that that's not true, like, you're the expert, you're an experienced, right? But I think a lot of times it's not, or at least from my perspective, it's not you getting frustrated that you're not into the amazing and then quitting. It's just Boredom. Yeah, I mean, I think it's like we're forgetting. It was two things. It's because for me, active is both active and inactive. Wait, did I say active as well?

You did say. It learning learning is both active and inactive because like, if you're teaching me something, mmm, horny for learning. I'm just saying it, I was going to say it. How it is, Right? Game is Eric, I love it, I love it. Like, mmmm, teach me stuff all day long. I fucking love it, I love that shit, I love that feeling. I Of the brain scratchy's. I just hmm, teach me stuff, but if I'm teaching myself, I put

such an expectation. I would like such an expectation on myself to like, instantly get it, you know? And like I think that's the difference is because when there's like an act, when it's like Active Learning, what it's like, I'm injured playing with somebody and I can like ask questions or like whatever that I'm like, oh hell yeah, you know what I mean? But if it's like I'm learning by myself. On the very fast reader. You know, I watch YouTube videos on 1.75 speed and so, in my head

I should be there. I should have the skill by the end of the video, that's not how it works. It's like, you know what I mean? It's like a real-time thing. Like that's yeah, but like that's the difference for me is like there's like a like I think it's somebody with somebody was teaching me cello. Like I'd be like fuck. Yes this is amazing. Like you know show for lessons every week or whatever Eric stop watching takes action.

If I guess just the shrimp. Well, there's something else involved with somebody to like show and there's also what I'm teaching myself something where I wouldn't say I'm teaching myself something because that takes away from like the person on YouTube, who's teaching me, or the person who wrote the thing that I'm reading, you know, you got roast. So sorry. I'm sorry. I interrupted, I just thought of something really gross. Didn't ya, know what you got roasted today by the

electrician? Oh, did I really yeah. What do they write? Turn this fucking piece of shit. Say you like the ocean came over today, so, you know, but we went back to look at the lights and he saw your little like area. Like oh, is your is your husband

in to like prove technology? And I just kind of like because it's faster and easier and I was like, oh yeah, you know, that's really informative technology could I didn't feel like having the poly conversation with the electrician would just met. And then he was like, he's like oh, what is he doing? Like always trips and us His reaction of like this fucking guys like out in the woods, digging holes and playing in the

mud, but it's a job. It's being like, terminally on the internet and it was really funny. Anyway, that's the whole story, but you had to be there. I was, it was really funny in person but it was funny in person. Yeah, well, I quit the podcast. I get to spend the rest of the day with you and he had to leave. So we who wins. No. But here quietly for us, I do think about how much everything hurts, fuck you, man.

No, I hurt. No, I'll wear any where it's harder, its value, the social opinions of electricians, very highly, that's impossible. This is great. If your lectures from you class and ask him, if he'll tell us what you think about, Eric generally, just roast Eric. If your electric thanks for us, I also actually, just anybody Rose to me, I would be amazing. Please ask it. Infinite Quest. Podcast.com roast. Eric if you dare Eric, but I don't know if I could roast you.

I feel like I probably could but I just feel like you can write roast and it can like think muffed up my head. Your hair is Big cool roasted not got him but I think what I'm teaching myself, something ruse with what is happening. I can't I am I get really held up on efficiency and like is this the most efficient way for me to be learning this? Yeah, if I'm learning something that like the knowledge doesn't

exist yet for you. No. Like if I'm trying to make an aluminum can behave in a certain way like weird stuff then it's just trial and error and yeah trying to well then it's just feeling as many pots as I can till I have interest up failing, but if I'm just like doing research myself, I'm always yeah, I'm kind of obsessed with like efficiency. Like there are a lot of skills than I straight-up. Don't have because all the YouTube videos, teaching, those skills are too long.

Like double speed. Oh no, I mean, even on Devils - oh, Listen to at least 1 Point 5. What is, what's the what is an example? Now, I'm fast like CAD software is for example. So I have the 3D printer now. And so CAD software is on our just software's that are made for building like parts and stuff machine parts and stuff it's usual and like CNC Machining. Yeah, but if it's a program where I can sort of jump in and just kind of, go click clack, click clack, click clack, click clack.

You know I can get decent at it pretty fast but cats are very complicated. Dated. There's like all sorts of weird buttons and constraints and stuff. So the only way to learn it is to like actually watch some tutorials that are very like it's very class like you know those like episode 1 is 40 minutes, he's like, here's the basic layout and all the stuff and it's just like I hate it so much.

I mean, I I bet is probably a very good way of teaching it, but I hate it, I get frustrated, I don't know.

Now, do you have the thing where I get really frustrated when You like you've kind of been doodling, you know, you're like doodling about and you're like, oh yeah, so like I kind of know where this button is and I kind of know where this button is whatever but there's like that weird gray area where you don't know a lot but you know, a little bit but then you go to like the intro video and they're like in, here's the start menu and you're like fuck already, all this part and then you skip

ahead like five minutes. And then it's something that you don't know and many of us like go back you like wait I know this part new understanding longer doing that. Yeah, it must've heat, but it's like, but it's like, if I already know it, I am so uninterested in Earning it, but that it's like, usually sort of like piecemealing. You're like knowledge together, you know. Yeah, no, I totally do that all the time. Yeah, I mean, they're all the time.

I'll my knowledge is about just anything is very rarely like broad as usually specific. So, like with a given program, I'm really good at doing this but I have no idea how to do the rest of it. And I also feel like I do a lot of things less efficiently because His, I didn't take the time to, like, watch the whole YouTube video.

I just learned the one part and then like two months later, like, oh there's a button for that, you know, usually that takes me an hour and a half but I can just press control whatever. Great, Eric great. I feel that way about Photoshop because like, I don't use Photoshop very much but like the things that I've used Photoshop for are like very specific and so, like I'm amazing at making things look like Get embossed leather book I could do that really well. Yeah.

How do you do that? It's a slimy, some contrast like a layer and like burning a layer like just saw there's a Burnin Up Burnin but like there's like this whole process here but I did it. One time for never. In more is a is our marketing package looked like an antique leather book and I wanted it to be a boss with never more on the

front for a Christmas show. And so I learned how to do it and then it was like, it was the same thing where I was like, oh there's a process that has like two buttons but I like learn by hour and a Process, but I'm very good at it. No II. Think programs are probably my most frustrating? Yeah, like learning thing because it's on the computer like it's not a literal physical thing is just sitting on the computer. Like my God hyper-focus. Pretty.

You know, I'm programs were like you can naturally learn the next step. Yeah you know where you get the dopamine really quickly. So it's like if it's a 3D modeling software even in the first little bit you are Remodeling a thing a little bit like that's good. But we're programs that are like epic like you know, Maya or something like that. Where it's like the first is, did you? Yeah I never did. I think I took a class or something at one point, what was

your, what was your Maya phase? I is a 3D modelling. So you cut. Well he's an old-school, I think Toy Story. One was made on my own when I worked at the casino and button or if there were these two guys and Kind of like tossed around making like a comic book slash game together. And one of the guys, his name was Jack, I think and feel like it was Jack.

Yes, super good at 3D modeling like just like stupid good at it. Like one of the best fathers, but he is Maya. And so I would just thought it was cool and he would like make these like cool little characters and like, these little monsters and stuff, and he would just like, you know, like Senator the group chat or whatever. And so I just thought it was

like meet. And so I decided that I wanted to learn how and I very quickly realized it was like real fucking hard and so that I quit, yeah, the end the end. Cause a guy who worked at a casino told me about it one time, that's the whole story I do. I also inv literacy so much fluency like when somebody knows a program like nobody's fucking business and not only like can they make cool stuff? But they can make cool stuff efficiently. Yeah and replicate it and change

it in any way. It's like all done properly. I feel that way about Concepts, like I fucking like, that's what I like, love learning like cooking stuff from you. Oh I got Bailey here on me, feel like I should apologize to leave Billy haircut today. Dear listener and it did not you what you gave me at least she won't stop. Squirming was making mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes. And Bailey ran into the wall because her hair was in her. So I was like, okay, we have to do something.

Speaking of not, being an expert, I did not watch any videos about dog grooming and so it just kind of went for it. And now she looks very chic eyes like a mohawk situation. She looks like grommet. She's like, I, it's so cool. He would like, you know, you like go to like a class or whatever and some teachers like yeah. And here's how they made printing presses and 1598. You know, I just like fucking, oh my God like just like expert level expertise like needy gritty like oh my God, it's so

good. It's hot. It's hot. I'll say it as learning a sexy know. It is I had once worked for / with a guy. He was a sous chef at a restaurant was working and he As a chemist, like, he was working as a cook, he's got a little turned on between, I think he was going backwards phds. I don't know. I'm so horny today. We're talking about learning and I'm learning. Yes. It was like I can't fucking move because I'm in so much pain and I'm just like, oh, oh yeah, that's how you change stuff.

Why is the floor of the library slippery? Katie was, you heard so much? But he was a chemist, which is great because the culinary world is Motherfucking full of stuff, you don't know like every day. There's a million things that you can learn about in which is amazing but very often you'll get very dissatisfied answers either because the person teaching you one doesn't know or they're like in a rush and you know it's happy a lot man whatever.

But so like I do you know, Chef might do something and something to something and you can say like, why did you want that? Let's say it's sick. Atkins. It. That's like cool. That's a useful answer. I know that now and I think is it. But why the map it's math. Yeah wasn't probably math, is math. Will always with you is that math will always eventually fall

down on an assumption? That one plus one equals two fucking annoying like all of math only works because of those basic assumptions that like you know why though? Eric, that's one way. I was asked so many people. Well it's not an easy question is really difficult question. I like called like Neil deGrasse Tyson. I mean something might help thing that is like to think it like one plus one is not that one plus one equals two. It's that to is the name for the thing that you get when you add

1 to 1, Y is 1 1 like what? Like not like the word I don't care about the word we could. All it people or but like why I, how is the concept of one. A thing I do I would say given ratios like one is half of two fucking doesn't help. I'm like but then I start thinking of it looks like circles were like one is 360 Degrees, you know?

And then it's like, okay, well then if been like, but then it's like, OK. Eunice, you know, I started like completing units in my head and then I just get like yeah, maybe if you like really good at like, Calculus I don't know what I think your conceptual geometry will not be able to picture stuff that's like a fundamental part of. Maths is thick as picturing stuff. Yeah. That's the only thing I can do it with really like efficiently is shapes for some reason.

Like this flat plane shapes picture shapes. I can't think I can't. Like if you're like picture of square like I can kind of like I'm aware of the concept of what a square is but if you were like hey, I need you to make me. Honestly, like a tutor ground as a really good example because like a Tudor gown is specifically, like there's like a triangular portion and then there's like the bodice portions and there's like the triangles for like the skirt like like

pattern wise. Like I can look at a garment and I can be like, okay, this is like the the shapes that like go into the Garment but it's not like I'm picturing them, it's not like I can see them, it's just I like, fundamentally know, you know, like Pants is four rectangles on a circle, you know, pants pants: for rectangular active classroom, just like that. We're just like. So that's part of geometry is I'm pretty good at. And actually when I was in high school I had a really good Earth

college. No eyes goes high school and a really good math teacher, who knew that I was really struggling with math and so she would use feeder stuff. I got a lot like she taught me angles using like stage lights, cool. And she liked and a lot of, like, the math stuff that she taught me was, was kind of like pattern making and stuff. And I think that's one of the reasons why I understand that part.

So, well, is because of, that is because I could relate it to something that I could visualize your like I could understand. And so it's like, I still don't know why 1 plus 1 equals 2, but I can tell you that I can like, you know, I know like 90 degrees like Three degrees inside because of like theater lighting and like working to put the triangle so you know the triangle falls on the actor like yeah that's cool.

I mean yeah I think I think people fixations and Hyper Focus has give you many different Avenues. Yeah she appreciate and understand the world which I think is pretty cool. And also, pretty concise, way of ending up Podcast. Everybody appreciate it for this very strange episode of bed podcasts. That isn't a very special in the bad pot. We should have a name for it.
