Transcript

Curious like completely run out of steam like you're like, yeah, I'm gonna do this thing and then you just go to do it and then you're like, actually no steam in the choo-choo train. Yeah, that's what just happened to me. Two things actually run out of steam. They don't because it's in a container, right? I think. Think you would run out of like the coal, that would burn the fire. That would like, so I feel like but like running out of coal is

like the sounds dumb. Yeah. You're like oh no. I'm out of clothes. Like we'll go get some more but like steam. Steam is like a feminist combustion, you can't like it's like in the air. Yeah. You know, magic there's a whole thing but we started, by the way. I've decided we're sorry sorry there's nothing good. I'm not super into hazing but this is funny where like if there's a New person. I'm like a job site, like a construction site. Oh yeah. I'll just ask them to do

something impossible. Like he could you go grab me a bit. Just bring me a bag of steam. Yeah, I like that. No, it's just right. It's yeah, it's in the truck over there. Just bring me back a steam real quick like yeah sure. Okay because they yeah when I I got a headlight fluid this one. And I was like, that's not a thing. They're like Ah, that's me, that's bad. Don't do that to people. Hey everybody! Hi! It's me.

Katie asaurus, he silenced me. Hey, good and welcome back to in Shepherdstown. That was very good and if you're thinking to yourself, Holy shit potatoes which is a thing that I say to myself frequently and often ship potatoes. Wow. Does this sound good? Is because we're coming to you live from the infinite quiz podcast boost ya got a booth I'm moving in with Katie. So surprised and room like a whole room.

Yeah there's area. Yeah. Don't make it sound like I'm making you live in the closet. You're going to do whatever I want. I can use those. It's like you're wondering did you whatever we are covered under the stairs which to live. If slide my dinner under the door a trade I just saw Tick-Tock. It must have been an AI thing. Which dude how fucking weird is it? Now it's upsetting that like Chris came home. Chris went to the Half Price Books, right?

And he came home with some collage books for you, the disciplic interesting image, isn't it? And I remember looking through all these illustrations and they're really good thinking. Wow, a person Drew, all of these That's like, what I do know. In the past couple of days, I've gone like donor weird rabbit hole with, like, AI stuff. And, like, I've started like, looking at, like, how much like, especially like to text to speech stuff. Yeah, she is freaking my shit right out.

Like, it's not. I'm don't like it and it's like, I don't really know what's going to happen. But boy is it started to make me feel like my entire career is on the line. It's fine, I'm doing okay. Hey, so you had a fun idea for it. Cast, that's not gonna spiral. Listen to existential dread. What was it? True. I did first real quick. Another friend of mine who

worked in kitchens. I didn't do this but he said that he would do this is he would ask the new person to clean the microwave if they didn't have a micro you know, because I mean at some point kitchens don't have microwaves anymore and you just ask really to clean the Michael. Yeah, I even feel like making popcorn on breaks. Yeah, but where do you make your popcorn on your break? Let's go. Will popcorn stand really don't eat popcorn if you want to have a cup of nudes.

No, I'm not talking shit. My lawyer was it microwaves absolutely have their function. What our use? Microwaves all the time? Yeah. What if you, you melt butter? Yeah, right. Great. For melting butter. Great for heating. Small amounts of water really quickly. Yeah. Super good for that pizza rolls. Yeah. What if you want pizza rolls on your break? I love that. Like I you're like oh Gordon Ramsay. Use tasting menu. Get the fuck out here. I got pizza rolls.

She thinks I guess I do family meal though. So you probably wouldn T like pizza rolls snakes. Yeah, that's true. That's true. What do you want to talk about slow? And also, Brought up a, i because I saw a thing where they basically made the entire cast of Harry Potter, as if they were Balenciaga models, and the joke was Master, has given Dobby, pendency haga Dobby is free. That's the stupidest thing I've

ever seen. But one thing about AI is you can make really dumb shit like that really fast anyways. Well, I was thinking, we do like a pie in the sky episode this week. We talked a lot about how systems should be practical functional and repeatable.

Which is great, the trifecta. Yes, but it's also really fun to just spiral around in your brain, a little for a little bit and just think of like if you had a billion dollars in all the space and time in the world, how would you organize your Vogue and closet, or your kitchen, or your whatever it is that you, do your snowboarding tools, or something like that.

You know, like those big ones that, you know, you're never going to do. But it's fun to think, like, I had, if I had like a giant rotating thing, or something like that, that all my stuff on. It, you know, and I feel like we talked, we talked a lot about like, what systems should be and how we use them and whatnot. But like, you know what, we all Pie in the Sky When You Can't Sleep two in the morning think about how we want to organize our lives.

And so I thought we could like shoot the shit about I do that. Yeah, I do not do that. You don't do that. No I imagine what would happen if I had the superpower where if I shake somebody's hand I could mind control them and then I figure out how quickly I could run the world. That's that. I think about what I'm probably asleep. Color screen savers. Yeah, I also have a really good one, where it's, what if I became a super famous movie star?

I also have one where it's like, how would I do a cool Casino Heist. I have a lot of really good ones I like thinking if I was dr. Manhattan. Yeah and I could just literally be everywhere all the time and could manipulate matter and what not like it was time travel one. That was pretty good. My sister and I we like trading back and forth, like we give each other prompt select because we found out that we both do that fall asleep. That's really, that's how we get.

Of each other like cool prompt sometimes. Okay. All right. Sorry. So probably this guy find this guy so it's a thought experiment. That's okay, so you pitch this to me to just make any sense. And so now I'm putting it together. So it's like a thought. Experiment of what is like, the best case possible solution to your specific. Whoa, yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, is it like whoa, not as in like, whoa, yeah. Well, alright, so here's what for so for example. Whoa, like can you pick Sure

like The Price is Right wheel. Well, I know you can't I mean I'm aware of The Price is Right wheel. Well also silicon professional kitchens the way that I would think about like a station or whatever is if it lives on the countertop. Like if it's always on the countertop. Yeah that means it's get used. It gets used everyday. If it doesn't get used everyday it shouldn't be on the countertop.

Now this is variable like I'm not saying every day like in a domestic side am going to fight you about the goddamn air. Fryer. I'm not saying the airfryer should be on the counter. I never That ever right? I don't think I said that. I did that multiple times. I don't think it's no it's muted but you're like this is you can just kiss you and in like in a domestic setting and stab you like once a week then yeah. Leave it on the counter.

Yeah. But like, if you use it once a year, then there's no point in having fun again. Margaritaville maker or whatever sitting on your counter. But so there's a lot of stuff that's like in that weird space of, like, do I use it enough to justify leaving it and taking up all this counter space because what's better than a clear counter counter where you can see all the stuff that you have that to ya. Vertical invisible. Maybe that's true. But all right. So Price is Right wheel. Okay.

Sure that I like embedded in a wall so like just the front like number is visible. You know, it was like a big dial kind of thing, but huge on it are like self-leveling shelves on which each of those appliances go. So you could be like airfryer and you would like probably really good big like Lazy Susan like a giant sideways. Lazy Susan. Yeah, that's pretty cool. I think what have you Like you know how the Price Is, Right wheel is like up and down, or would it be like side to side?

I'm sticking up and down for storage, you know, because if you went outside to see, if you went like side to side with it, they you could, you could have it like on like a slider or if you went up and down. So it would take a couple of hours on Space though. You know. Like Yeah well yeah I can see that. I kind of want to like mock it up. Kind of a mock it up to also I want to point out. Dear listener that this is recorded. We're This day, this on our own on April 10th, April 10th 2023.

So if I see anybody patent in this, I can, this is a hold up in court like the whole of the court. I feel like I've seen it if you want to build a, please do build it. I there's like, I saw like, I don't like, I like not exactly but I feel like that's I feel like there's like there's somebody else. Well, I got the idea from there's a really rich people and like Yang rich people houses because like, yeah, if you had like a conveyor belt or like a thing that just like scroll.

Wait, you have got like one of those like sushi. She restaurant conveyor belts and put all your appliances on it, and then you have them go around the kitchen ceiling like a train and then you could just like be like, did you see just reach out? Like I like a dry cleaners, you know, it's fucking bigger way of remembering that your shit exists to. Yes, just on a train. I wouldn't want to put a train in the kitchen like above the cabinet's is. Have it go to qu around a went

in on you. This is the thing on the East Coast, but there are like quirky grocery stores that have trains and stuff in them likes to Leonard's. Or that's a deep cut and it was Dau, tree mail us a skinful quest. Podcast.com if you know it's do. Leonard's is another place where we got tighter you know that was bills Cider Mill and Branford Connecticut which was but very exactly the same. I also had a train, they also had a trade, very similar Vibes so I do.

I'm I'm like I'm interested in this because I feel like what I'm what I keep coming to is like oh my like pie in the sky stuff would involve like a lot of construction. So so do you feel like it's okay. So like a police car pile all the way in the sky. All the way up there is, I burn this house to the ground and I start over completely from scratch. But that's probably too much that's like, 3.14 repeating. That's funny because by yeah, because pies will see us doing

that. So we need to bring it down to like two point one. No, it's fine Sky dude, it's 3.14 way up in that place. You know. I burn this house to the ground then I build a new house that has an open layout for like and then I hire a butler and his name is Jeeves. Hmm. And no Jarvis. And he does he he's audit. He's got it. He's going to take a spot Jeeves on the spot. You know the spot is being is

like Google Bing concierge. Now, I don't know like I don't know, I don't know how to Pie in the Sky because I just go oh I don't have a million dollars to burn my house down. Well you did well I mean you've been talking about built in Yeah, four billion years. And what what what's the function? I'm, this is not me pressing or disagreeing with everyone. Built-ins what function do you think the built-ins will serve? And again, that's not me saying like what do you thinks gonna happen?

Like, I mean it like why do you rely one built-ins? Because we have well, we have a lot of stuff first off but also the way that the room is laid out, I feel like having like a big. Okay. Yeah, Meg has stairs. You're welcome. Jesus Christ. Sometimes you get so mad. I do it. So I mean I'm not I get like oh, why? I like joke mad but not like, I'm not actually met, it's okay. But it does mean that I have to, you have to edit that. You can keep the gun.

I could people yawn. Sometimes people do. Yeah, people do yawn. Sometimes. Also your dice her to eat macaroni this box. See this dog right now, okay? Hey, this is owns a great time. Just talk about our new sponsor. Bailey. And I can say, okay now it seems like as good a time as any to talk about our new sponsor even geek therapeutic.

You're going to be hearing a lot about us and geek Therapeutics in the coming while and I'm so stoked about it's gonna be amazing. But hey, we should keep talking about that thing that we were talking. Oh, yeah this episode. It's really it's going the best one I've ever lard 22 on the chugging trains go get back to it. Okay, here we go. Let's go, dude. Good job. She stopped eating the macaroni. She did now. She's just licking my leg, which I'll take but yeah, what do you

think? So like we have a lot of stuff? I feel like the ADHD and I kind of want to talk about this in the book, which I guess we're allowed to talk about now like when organizing an on ADHD person stuff. Yeah, I think Yeah is very different than organizing a person with ADHD stuff because it is we have done in Tyre lectures on this for professional organizers. Oh shit, we have actually no. Yeah, yeah. But like, because if you're a, I don't say, like normal person

but like, you know, no one ATM. You know, you have your like, oh, I'm into sewing. So, this is my sewing stuff and like and here's my kitchen, whatever, when you have HD, it's like, oh yeah, 3. Three years ago, I was really, really, really, really into jump roping. And it turns out there's all sorts of materials that jump ropes can be made out of there, like historical ones. This one's from 1930. So now I have 40, jump ropes, where do I put them? You know, it's like, there's no

default thing for that. Like, yeah, Knives have knife, blocks and coats have coat hangers layer coat racks or whatever. But like, where do you store your 20 pounds of juggling stuff? Where do you store? Like oh yeah, I got really into taking apart our seas. So I have 46 different RC car motors that once a year are insanely useful. It's like a garage you know I mean boxes but I think they exist juggling stuff in the garage next to my to unicycles and genomics. My Jumping Stilts.

None of, which is a joke. That's not a bad. That's all in my garage. No. I mean, I think like, that's one of the things that I struggle with a lot. And also, one of the Is that I've been realizing as I've sort of been like doing therapy, more intensively and like, trying to figure. My life out is for me, how often like the 8hd and the autism were like, absolutely combating each other.

And it is really frustrating because like my ADHD is like I want everything to be accessible to me all the time. I want to know exactly where it is at a glance whatever, but then there's also this like other side of me. That wants like everything perfectly clear.

Everything like no clutter anywhere zero clutter completely SpaceSaver free, you know, everything lined up perfectly and like those two things like they they are like a constant war in me and so I think I get to a point where like I just get completely overwhelmed and instead of trying to go for a happy medium, I just go cool. I'll live in chaos because the chaos gas is easier than having it sort of, like, half the way

that I want. But like so I feel like I struggle with like pie in the sky because I can't even get to like muffins in the sky, you know what I mean? Because even like the muffins seem like unobtainable. Like I feel like I could get like a Ritz cracker in this guy. Yeah like I could get a Ritz cracker. What would your Ritz cracker in there?

It's cracker in this in the sky is that also episode title just saying No, I kind of like I thought it my head and then I was like get one more and then I can be an episode title know like Ritz cracker in the sky. I think I would just have more vertical storage and so like, you know, we talked about built-ins little bit but I think like that's a big thing.

And like another thing that I want to do is is like I want to make it so, you know, we can have more guests over because now that you're moving in, You know, it's going to change the sort of like format of the house. So it's just kind of like one of those things where it's like, well I need to figure out how to like, so, I think I'm gonna get like a Murphy bed that has like shelves. Yeah, I'm also big into the like Metro racks.

Those huge fucking shelves because I was thinking, like, in Minecraft. Which Katie do you did, you know, I like Minecraft. I had no idea, never heard of such a, but like so in Minecraft you have stuff that you use all the time, like your nice tools and your iron and your whatever Minecraft is a video game where you make stuff, you craft things out of items so you often but you also collect them. You end up with massive quantities of items.

So, anyways, but there's also like your deep storage where it's like. I did a big mining thing a month ago and now I have, you know, 6000 Cobblestone. So you have like your deep storage was just like a big room that's ugly and just full of chests full of all that shit. And then you have like your immediate storage, you know.

I feel like I tried like applying that to regular life you know because like a lot of the stuff that is around and this is not just your your house like in my apartment to a lot of the stuff that is just around. All the time is stuff that should be in deep storage you know like yeah a reference book and we do storage doesn't have to be like tucked away but like you know on a bookshelf for so it's sitting pick out different. That means something very different to me.

What do you mean? Like I was like deep throat is like antibiotics and a basement and like maybe you think of it like once here? You know. Yeah yeah so like that is largely what I'm Storage storage is like put that bitch on a shelf? Yeah no I mean that is largely what I mean with like the boxes because then Like, oh my dear what Chris and positive for whatever. Know, Chris thought of this the other day he's going to put like stuff that he's not sure if he

wants to keep her. Not he's going to put it in a bin and he's going to date the bed with like a piece of tape and then it's like if he doesn't open the bed and six months, he's just going to get rid of the bed, that's some good shit. And you know what that's I would think to do that but there's no fucking way. I would remember six months was kind of cell phone alert, he was like my tattoo system. Chris is a people with ADHD. Frankly are fucking superheroes to me. Wow, you'll remember that.

That's because, like, I organize shit all the time, Amma. Yeah. The hard part is remembering how I organized it. Yeah. And finishing organized. Because like, if half of your shit is organized, then it doesn't particularly matter because it's like, I need to know if I have a thing and it's not on the parts of the working. Well, I mean, it doesn't really matter, half organizes better than that organized.

But so, do I like? I that's where I cannot get on board is like, there's like, a, a Perfectionist or completionist streak and my heart where like that has always been the thing that that I get hung up on is like half done is like no it has to be completely done but what always happens is like you know, when you get to like the end you're like reorganizing

something. And you're like, everything is like wonderful and it's like it is place and you're like, this is the most beautiful system I've ever seen. And my broom will be beautiful forever, and then you find that like, there's like that A handful of like weird shit. Oh yeah and you don't know where to put it and it doesn't go and like any obvious you found you, you know and then you're like okay well I guess I'll put it here but that is like it just

doesn't fit, you know? And then it's like and then there's like and then that's the part that like I I I will, I don't finish things so I can avoid that because that to me is the worst fucking thing in the world is when you get to like the very end and you're like well what do I do with the blue blah blah? Blah. Yeah, and I'm just like, well, I'm just gonna throw it there. I know this whole fucking thing is ruined, and all of us ever was for nothing. I know.

It's like, when you do to me in dishes and then you think you're done and there's like, a bunch of jar lids or something. Yeah. Exact not only do I do this but also where the fuck did they go? Do these even have jars with them is that is this is Ritz crackers and Charlotte's. I was talking about I also something that worked for me in boarding school because I had very limited space that was in a dorm room which is when my like Crafting out of weird shit.

Really hit full swing because I didn't have access to anything. So I just had to make stuff out of paper clips and whatnot. Yeah, that was boarding school. We had like no space. We had three desk drawers in my top drawer was my hell drawer actually, excuse me, by the end of my tenure at boarding school. I had to drunk drawers, one was the top drawer and that was the main junk drawer. And then the second one was

larger drunk drawer. So like the top one was for basically things like, you know, wallet-sized in smaller and then the second drunk drawer was things for a while. It's hot like larger than wallet-sized, which it was not a good, it was it was a nightmare in that drawer. Don't get me wrong but it did serve. That ever important function of when I need my desk clean, I can just go and just yeah, but in the finder, which is over later, but sometimes you gotta pass the thing, you know?

But like that's the thing. Like that's again that's like the completion as part of me is like, I like I can't clean the top of my desk without also. Seeing all of the drawers, but then he like organize the drawers and then you're like, oh well, I solve all of this fucking jarmusch.

It's but you only get so many of those of the swipes before, because you gotta swipe it, and then address it afterwards, but I'm not gonna do reducing where you swiped into the same drawer for like, over, like a period of like, a long time. Geology. Yeah. And then there's like he archaeology of like your interests like it's like, oh, this is like my stamp collection period. And this is like my fucking

dick. Like I like I was going through boxes the other day and I was like, oh right I was in like crochet for like six months, like I just like oh yeah, like and it's just like, I don't know. I keep coming back to my neurodivergent craft exchange ideas. I was just thinking of that too.

Yeah. There's a sensor that free craft store plays in Atlanta. Maybe just a free crust or a shitty place that we went to and I think was like I don't remember where it was Richmond, Richmond and say yeah, it's like that but and it lands had I can't We should bring. I would be glad to mental pilot. All of those bins. Yeah, Hobbies rock store, that would be a fucking oh hobby swaps, dude. Hey, I got into juggling now. I don't care about juggling. Yeah, you are anybody new

unicycle? Because I have to, as we're do you have to a single whole bicycle? You do. Ya, gotta just got it in two parts. Yeah. You had the, the payoff at the layaway plan, so silly a minute. Like I don't even know why I have one. I never Ever learned, I was like totally Gonna Learn but I never did something that I have done in the past in, this is actually works really well for me, if I like, remember to like do it and we do this when we were packing for camping.

But whenever I took something away, we're a night out, not sorry. Not whenever I do this like I do it every time but yeah, I do this occasionally and I would like this to be the case that I do it every time, but what I took something away in a box to just make a list of what's in

the box and put it on the front. And which like but the thing is Katie, yes, is if you top put stuff away to box, and you write a list of what's in the box and you put on the front if you're not watching, I don't want to, I don't want to make generalizations here if I'm not a billion percent accurate or certain that that list is accurate that I did write down everything in the correct quantity. That's in that box. Yeah, then it doesn't work.

Yeah. Because then I'll just look if I'm not certain that it's correct. Then I'll have to check the box anyway. Well, yeah, but either way is still useful even if you're not certain because then you can go like, oh, that's even just walking down. You like? Oh, that's right. I wasn't a juggling or whatever. I wasn't it. Whenever it's a way of like deep storing things while making it less likely that you'll forget that they exist less work for me.

It works for me with random clap crafting stuff. Works me with camping stuff. Yeah, anything that goes in like bins, you know, all I want to do is clean the kitchen, but I'm just like so overwhelmed. Bring clean the kitchen after this. Yeah, sounds like a great time. It doesn't know. Doesn't it sounds like a fucking terrible time. But hey, Will embrace the suck. That's true. I want to, I want to just I want to do what we talked about last week. I want to pull everything out and move in.

Yeah, what's called what? I'm excited for it. So increases comical Chrome. So dear listener. There's a room in that in this that Chris has a lot of he's been collecting comic books for his entire life. And either way he got some like affordably is he buys them in bulk like he'll go around and find a place. Should I not be telling people like Chris is Congress isn't like Give you look like dude. There's a billion-dollar comic in there. We don't want anybody know he

has. Superman number one. Come. Yeah, no, I wish Action Comics. If I pop fucking pie in the sky, that would be my like, casual Christmas present. Be like, oh yeah, I got you this Action. Comics number one and Biddy, Merry Christmas. But so he rides on inbox. So he has thousands of comic books, but he's collected over his life of collecting comic books and they're all in this room and they're just sort of like, in there, you know, they're not like, I'm sure they're just sort of like, in

there. It's like, literally the room is dedicated to The thing, it's a library if you will, it's a bit of. Yeah, I mean, which is great. You know, like, hey dude, a person with a hobby, whose financial means to support it. Fuck it, that's the dream. But anyways, he's now reorganizing that. Now that I'm moving in and candies moving in Chris's partner, we're sort of like, consolidating it, which is also.

Anyways, he's clearing that room and we're gonna have access or I am but I'd like to use it as a recording studio. So, anyways, I'm really excited for that room to be either empty or like reasonably empty. So, that everything that is in that room, Is decided to be in that room like in this room that we're in, currently there's a bunch of shit in this room that we didn't decide to put in this room. It just is in this room. Yeah.

And removing it from this room. Would mean deciding where to put it and the LOLs thing, but an empty room. Oh, that's like the only thing in this room are the things that I've deliberately taken into this room and I fucking love

that feeling. So I like moving around so much because every time you move them as much as moving sucks like when you do move in a new place you're like I know exactly what is in this apartment because I put it here and then collect more shit and I'm playing a game because we have this cool new podcast booth and so there's like a sliver we're like the blanket doesn't like clothes and so I'm looking and I'm just counting the number of hobbies that I can actively see and that

was from here and I can see from here my embroidery phase, my sewing phase my knitting phase my scrapbooking phase my miniature face and Our ongoing TT R. PG face so ongoing. Yeah, that's interesting. And that's just line of sight. Yeah, without moving I have a little hole that I can see through to out of the booth. I can see instrument making, I can see. Oh and Legos, I can see like, oh nice macaroni stuff, I can see coffee stirrer stuff. Jesus Christ.

Yeah. Hey, I wouldn't trade it, you know, I dig it. I like that. I like all this alike. That's the thing is, I don't regret being this way. Like, I fucking like that. I pick up Hobbies. I like that. I maintain interest in new, and novel things, but that comes with having to do, with some shit like, figuring out where to put all your fucking stuff, but I feel like it's worth it.

I like, I like my life. I mean, honestly, like, I love Learning new hobbies, like my, like I've said, many times like my hobby is learning new hobbies, you know, I love it. I just like, I wish I was better at the executive function stuff, you know. Like that's that's the part that I struggle with is like, okay, I'm excited about this, like fucking collage. I really fucking like collage.

I don't know how long I'm gonna like collage, but like I'm liking it right now, but like, you know what? Collage requires a lot of fucking space again. Keep a lot of fucking books around. Yeah, and so I'm just like, I keep looking at that giant bin.

In the kitchen and going, like, I should move this, I should put this somewhere, but then I can't figure out where to put it and so something that I do, one of my little pie-in-the-sky exercises, and this might be like a picturing stuff kind of thing, but I love when I get a new hobby, or a new project or any something or other designing a storage case for it, in my head like uh, like collage, for example like books. Those stack, you know, but what if you have like a bunch of

loose cutouts? Yeah. That's like, you know you might want to use it some point but you got to keep nice like. Okay so it's like Thing that can hold books anything but it also has like a slot on the side that is felted you know so that paper can slide in without being destroyed and it's whatever and it's insulated from the rest of it, you can also have a little compartment for, you know, you're glues your various scissors, exacto knife, skits

and stuff like that. Like a One-Stop little kit thing. Also just while I'm thinking about it, one of the most satisfying crafty boy organization. Things ever seen, my life is Adam Savage's mobile tool box. I Have been trying unsuccessfully to build you one of those for like two years. Really are sweetie. Thanks like, I like I have I have Do you want to talk about them as mobile to wax? I have directly contacted Adam, Savage you really. Yeah, he put the design, the designs are online.

Like the Foley, the problem is, I can't find the right Hydraulics to like, lift up any of that stuff. What I've been also look up, Adam Savage's toolbox, but basically when he was at industrial Light & Magic, the special effects people that famously did Star Wars and a bunch of other stuff he had. He would move from Station to Station, but he had this toolbox that was on hydroxo it rolled it was reasonably big. Contained. Hundreds of tools, all like that have their own little slots, all

that. And God blessed the man. He made a whole diagram, like a labeled diagram of every. It's like a busy weekend in Adobe Illustrator sort of picture of it. And every single thing is labeled and where it goes. Oh God, I just so good. You like Gary, it was back. Well, Gary's bag to carry from beep. Watch vpats a good show. There's a guy named Gary on the show, who is the president?

Will, you know, unless it's pretty bad but he was Selina Meyers Bag Man and so she can be like, I need tissues and there's like a bit that he does wear like he doesn't have to look. He can just reach into this massive bag and pull out any one of like hundreds of objects, come on. That's fucking awesome. That's pretty sweet. I'm gonna get you a Gary briefcase for convention. I'm like, Eric. My friend will from California.

He had like this military asked but it wasn't like an official but it's like nobody asked God with all these pouches and stuff in his everyday carry was insane. Like he had lockpicks like rolls of duct tape nails screws like his everyday, carry was everything from like first aid kit stuff, too. Like well his lock being said, actually saved my ass a couple times because I like myself on my apartment will attest story. It's has. Yeah, I mean, it's really incredible, earplugs all that

kind of stuff. I mean, I gotta start right here plugs. I want your pledges 100% of the time. I know I remember occasionally and I'll carry with me everywhere for a couple months, and I forget that that's really one falls out of my pocket. I only have one of my shoes, your ear? Oh God. I would got hers wasn't wearing one earplug. Yes, I've done that before. I'm like, well, it's better than Nothing and then it's just like the worst thing we should close with some important

I'm also teaching a seminar on disability and inclusivity at the gaming table, so very excited for that and I think that's all the stuff that I'm allowed to tell you about right now. I have one that I haven't plug-in that. I feel bad about it. I'm doing a podcast with teh seashell vids. Longtime friend of mine. Oh, what?

And they figure of pencils, bringer of paper, bringer of friendship and love. It's a Gen Con thing. You had to be there at basket but today is running a Minecraft D&D campaign where basically they have made Minecraft or D and D 5 e Mechanics for playing Minecraft. So you're playing Minecraft but it's in the DND setting. So you still like mine and craft and do all the stuff but it's in DND setting in the Minecraft world is absolutely fucking incredible. Perhaps a roll for initiative

every time there's a creeper. Yes, really. Yeah, that was me. That's funny. I can't I can't like stay. There's enough Tay made this. Yeah. Like the entire game system like made it and I think like fucking Wizards of the Coast is like coming out with something like but like tabling didn't able t to the first. He's so anyways that podcast exists its called Adventure SMP. So available anywhere you get your podcasts. But yeah, I play on that game

and it's really fun. Oh, I also just remembered another one. What you got? I'm very happy to To announce that I will be stepping into the role of a owen on Don, Marshalls, Lord of the Rings, unexpected unpredicted, party, Eric burped and it was unexpected. And what I said the wrong name of the podcast, that's really embarrassing. But anyway, so is Don Marshall, the unpredicted party, it's available on YouTube and And also over on the patreon. And so anyway, I'm pretty sure party.

I'm playing a Owen and that's fucking sexy. That's pretty cool. It's very sad. I'm playing a 0 and very, very queer. So good, it's fine. I mean, dude, if you're an elf, your life for thousands of years, you have time to get in touch with your sexuality, you know. You know, I don't think I want is enough. I'm like, what I'm like 90% you're thinking thing of all win. Yeah. Yeah, fuck. Hey, one is not enough well podcast, canceled shit, Don. I'm so sorry, Steven.

Sorry, we Stephen, Stephen Colbert. Oh, I want. And I want them to meet. I realize, I'm Brian. I want that. Um, actually, it happened so bad when I was in New York last week. I was by at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert theater and I thought about like, what if I just like printed a bunch of signs with da Marshals face on them? And just like plaster the front of the because he would see that, you know, he would hear about it.

And that's a huge admirer. The addition you should also go protest in front of the Stephen Colbert. I will, dude like Don! Hey Don, hi, how's it going? I have an aunt who has an apartment in New York City that I sometimes go to like, cats it for her. You know, we should do, we should go there, you should come there and we'll hang out and do cool stuff. But mainly what we're doing is staking out the front of the Late Show building and we will just sit there with podcast mics

and wait, for Steven jadi. Comes through the front door. You know, we just sit there with it. One of those signs that just says, like, I know I'm not, I but like Don knows more about Lord of the Rings than you talking, then you do. That's, that's honestly really cool. Beer knows, good content when he sees it, okay? Like he knows what's what that's pretty good, especially when he realizes inevitably that you actually might know more than him because like real.

Like I'm sorry. I'm on it now. It's a really I don't think Stephen Colbert thinks. I think Stephen, Colbert, probably believes that there are maybe like, 10 to 15 and he's a humble guy, but like, He probably thinks it would like 10 to 15 people on Earth that know as much about talking as he does and you are definitely one of them. Anyways, we got to make it happen. I forgot we were just doing some drank, but seriously, do it. Continue your love letter to Don

Marshall or can we enter most? No, it's fine. It's just, I just want to see it happen. So I wanted to happen desperately. Anyways, everybody, thank you so much for listening. I do appreciate it.
