In this episode of Infinite Quest, Cate and Erik return from an ADHD-detail induced overwhelm hiatus and *ease* back into Infinite Quest by performing what Cate is pretty sure are two Infinite Quest firsts, back to back, neither of which are what we'd call "family friendly". Cate tells the story of her once-arch-nemesis, and Erik spends most of the podcast in detention.

(03:29):
you. After a short break, a short
break, we'll call it a between season, it's a long boring
fucking story, but it's just been a lot of like off again on
again. And by that, I mean
antidepressants working and they're not working and working
again and professional. So but are getting too much
detail. Basically, we're doing a thing
with some. We've talked about e-therapy
(03:50):
like we've mentioned, we're working with geek Therapeutics
raven, like, officially started doing stuff for the.
We start in April, we're showingany of it.
Well, that's kind of. The thing is, we didn't know
it's a long story but like contract stuff about.
We didn't know what they wanted in when and so we kind of didn't
know how to make podcasts because we were worried like if
we post It they're like, hey, weneed you were supposed to do a
(04:11):
thing, even they're not, we forgot my podcast.
I got scared everybody, but we've we now know exactly what's
going on. So anyways, we can make podcasts
without being terrified. They were accidentally breaching
a contract or something. We're good.
We got it. We got it, which is also nobody
did anything wrong. It's just, there's a lot of
bugging moving Parts this out ofUniversity HD.
It's hard to remember. Yeah, you know, because I'm
(04:38):
like, okay, I don't wanna screw this up.
Want to do a really good job. Like we're super excited to be
working with them don't but if it don't fit open it and then it
just became like an impossible task of, you know.
Yeah, this isn't something I really like care about and think
is badass, you know. It's like we're selling
underwear, it's like d care products is the shit.
And so, I was like, I want to doyou buy them if you're
listening? Yeah, I mean, I will sell
(04:58):
underwear on underwear, if they are, ethically made and soft
soft. Then credibly, soft buttery.
They say water is that so? Is there?
They're buttery soft. That's not okay.
That's, that's solid. Yeah, that's a good description
area versus. I'm just saying those are, I've
(05:21):
never had a green ever read or never been on a Casper mattress.
I have sir. Pretty good.
Are they? Yeah, let's takes it.
Like you should get like a top thing for it because it's not
really like a matte is mattress so much as it is.
I'm sure there's a whole mattresses are but like the the
Casper. Yeah.
What it led to like patent thing.
Sakura like a big Matrix of hexagons which are the best
(05:43):
icons which kind of likes question and interesting way but
got some matches are good. Let's get it off.
Just rubbing underwear is buttery, makes me think of the
time, my dad was traveling to India for work and he was
getting a ride from the airport somewhere and they passed a
McDonald's in my dad was like, apparently it was like it was
like the first McDonald's in that area.
(06:05):
And so he was like oh, you know,there's a McDonald's here in the
driver said I love McDonald's. AIDS.
It's so creamy. What he described.
The McDonald. Like McDonald's is being creamy,
which it totally. Is, that is exactly, right?
Like, tell me McDonald's. Cheeseburger isn't creamy, you
know, it's not creepy air and scream, what are you talking?
You also get it with nothing. So, what is going on with your
(06:28):
levels versus my levels right show?
That is weirdo. No today.
Old. Away from the mic.
Sorry. Me and the future who has to did
you accidentally turn yours up? Instead of mine is Island shame
because I'm a quiet quiet guy. Our levels are the same.
(06:49):
I think I was just a little loud, a little voice, just a
little guy with a little God little voice who's ready to see
boobs Q2, that's a really radiant she is Fredrik.
Well, sorry you're right. Okay, bye guys.
I don't know. I keep really freaking out about
this podcast here because remember when I was like, we're
(07:13):
going to be educational and thennow we're not anymore and I feel
really bad and guilty about it all the time.
I know what you mean. I don't do you like us being
educational or not email, is to ask if Inner Quest podcast.com
poultry. I think a particular part of
this gig that I'm bad at anything of, you know, the
podcast pod, save America. No Billy.
(07:35):
No I don't listen to podcast. No not really or no you really
haven't heard I've literally never heard it.
Oh it's a podcast political podcast that's it's easily.
One of the most popular podcastslike in the world.
Victorian England is not, is it about serial killers and
Victorian ankle? It is not, is it about Victorian
(07:58):
adaptations of Shakespeare playsin Victorian England?
Nope, that I don't care. Okay, listen, I like to
podcasts, very specific. Fine.
That well, there is a podcast bulb, lots of America, which is
formed hosted by former Obama staffers and speech writers.
(08:19):
So they're like, they know how not just like Washington works
but like, the presidency work. So they have like that girl.
Anyways, but it's a largely newspolicy podcast.
But anyways, there's speech writers and so something that
they had to learn to do and theyhave to, like, teach the people
that they write speeches for to do, is that you are going to be
saying the same Same thing over and over and over and over
(08:42):
again. And it's going to feel really,
really weird for you. Yeah.
But the people you're talking tohave it necessarily heard you
say it. Yeah.
So like that's why I like BernieSanders talking about, you know
you know it's like a meme. How often he says the word
billionaires. It's because he's been saying
the same shit for 40 years because he's farting, right.
(09:02):
But so do you people who are familiar with Bernie Sanders?
It's like, wow, he talks about that a lot, but if you're just
hearing about them then you wantto hear his fucking point.
Sometimes I kind of feel like that where, you know, we could
totally do another episode on executive functions.
We could totally do another episode on how athd impacts
school or sex life or whatever, which, you know, I think we
(09:23):
should do but it's sort of counterintuitive because for us
it's like, we've already talked about that before.
But it's like, you know, to somebody who just cares about
the podcast, they may not have so okay.
But what if instead we just turned we call Em and we're like
hot new pitch. It's me and Eric.
Eric and you, and we only talk about Jack the Ripper.
(09:44):
I feel like that should just be um I don't, I have no place in
that podcast and Schultz, by theway, that one of the hosts of in
that's why we drink in front of the class and just kind of ours,
one of the only podcast that I listen to all right, this is
more pockets are great time. They're really good for filling
up that like 10% of your brain. That is excruciating Lee board
when you're like doing a menial task that's 10 years for.
(10:07):
Yeah, that too. Yeah, I just brought that back
around. That was really good.
Guys cop. That was top-tier, how you gonna
finish your chores if you're super Horny though, that's the
thing. I guess she really good.
Rub one out afterwards, the amount of things that have
fallen off of surfaces in my office today.
(10:29):
Yeah, we can we do composed? We do we do lectures and King
convention. You Katie?
Okay, I'll mark it and then afterwards.
We'll talk about think is up first time that we have said,
the word horny on infinite Quest.
I don't think so, I don't think so.
I think this is an old story first.
Somebody make a Supercut of us saying.
(10:51):
Horny horny, horny horny, was that me was last one me that was
you? Katie, what do you call it?
What's like a popular just sort of word for describing sexual
arousal. Thanks Katie.
It's appreciate turn and not feel like an infinite Quest
(11:14):
podcasts. This is there to feel like some
weird like bro. Shit at all like this.
Okay. Don't start over.
No. Winter was no, it's okay.
Was it? I like new?
We're In Too Deep. Okay, fine.
I feel bad that I said we just sort of I stand by it.
I stand by it. Last part of this one just like,
(11:41):
well, I guess that does answer the question.
How is your ADHD going that great?
Well, let's do five towering changes in.
I mean, should just bring it, bring it, bring it back around.
Well, bring it back on, but a mighty HD has been.
There's like a particular, like type Of my ADHD, you know, like
a mood of my ADHD. Yeah.
Which is like, very purposeful, very sort of like executive, you
(12:04):
know, sort of like a like a Christoph Waltz in and the
consultant, no spoilers. But you know, you can see in
the, he plays a very managerial kind of character, whole rant
about that show. Yeah, yeah, it's fine finishes.
It's like my brain is like, thisis what we should do.
(12:25):
Let's do this. You know, it's like very Civ,
what's that, like. But then in like, after like an
hour and a half of hyper focusing, my brain goes.
Okay, that was a total fucking waste of time.
That was not what we should havedone.
Let's do this other thing and then I'll do this other thing
I'm like, yeah, so it's like I'mable to focus on like an
immediate on a thing for Adam out of time.
(12:47):
Yeah. But my task prioritization is
still garbage. So it's like I have the focus of
a not ADHD thing, but like, my brain still can't decide where
to point it. I'm not worried about you
yesterday. Really.
Yeah, was that because like, I watched that happening in real
time and I knew that unless I could find a record for you, you
(13:11):
would not rest. Oh, yeah.
And I was trying to, like, I literally had this mowers.
Like should I like next door andask about their Hood?
If anybody has like a record that we and then I remembered I
had the That we found but then Iwas like it's not really like
like it works and it's fine hashtag video incoming.
Yeah, right. Um but I was like, oh maybe we
should like and then I started hyper fixating on like we should
(13:33):
get a better record. Like you know, something that's
like iconic or whatever. And so just became this whole
thing where I was like, watchingyou hyper fixate on getting the
thing that you wanted to, you could do your video.
But then I was like, worried about making like it just, it
got weird. I was like, I was like, I felt
like, I was like, feeding your hyper fixation but in like, Good
way. Which mean, I mean, it was kind
(13:54):
of scary. Yes, well I mean I know it's a
secret but yeah, so yesterday I made.
Yeah, I didn't know if you wanted it to be like a secret
gramophone. So, it was very cool, like, I
need to stress. This is one of the cooler things
that I've ever seen. Eric, do no.
Thank you. It was really neat.
Was like all sides and shit. Thanks sweets.
But so you have a phonograph, you know what, the big Dudu, big
(14:15):
Bell thing. And it goes point for thinking
is the crank was broken and so Iwas like, having a good fix that
thing. And so I started with taking the
needle holder off and lighting it apart, and see what's wrong
with it. Turns out the needle just broke
off and it's not one where you can just sort of easily replace
the needle. And so it's like okay I could
(14:35):
either make try to take this pre-existing thing and use stuff
that's lying around to try to make it work again or I could
just make a new one and it was like very cool start from
scratch and then I remembered wehad we got a stethoscope from
Thrift stop because I thought itwas cool.
And we got one in stethoscopes. Pretty much our photographs,
(14:58):
they're exactly the same thing. But instead of leading up to
like a bell, it leads to like ear input things.
And instead of a needle on a record, it's just, you know,
surface up against the sounding thing on.
The end of it, it was like, oh, I could make that thing that
into a great photograph in two seconds and so I did.
(15:21):
But we didn't. Have a record to test it on, so
I was like a thousand percent sure that it would work, but we
could, I couldn't verify it because we didn't have a record
to test it on. And so it became a whole thing
of like, Well, maybe we went to Goodwill basically, and they
didn't have one, but it was, I felt that I was kind of scared
(15:41):
because I was like, oh shit. Yeah, it was like, I'm about to
drop beige. I'm about to drop, like I've
been Super Hyper focused on thisfor like 5 hours.
And I'm like going hard. I mean, my I mean, frankly, I'm
in my own time, not in my happy place.
That's like my favorite place tobe and then being faced with
like, oh, and now you're abruptly stopped without be have
(16:03):
the payoff at the end of the thing working.
That was scary and I started literally going like I bet like
you know our neighborhood. It's not just like hey do you
have any? Yeah you know vinyls that like
but like bad ones because I might have fucked it up with my
you know my haphazardly thrown together a little device but
yeah that was weird and I mean it wasn't it was like the
(16:25):
prospect of having to like Stop and like, okay, we've been to
the closest thrift store. So now we have to go like, for
like, at least a 10 to 15 minutedrive, so that's half an hour
both ways and then it's like we got to go find like it just
became like I don't want to anymore like you know, it was
just that immediate like I just want you know, and I was like I
(16:48):
just I get so frustrated about something like that and I could
feel like the ticking clock of it where it's like, okay, I know
I only care about this for another 45 like I know that's
The case. So if we you know and that was
at the Goodwill realizing didn'thave an lpo like I 45 minutes
before. I stopped caring what this
project, you know, like so if wego to another historic, go to
(17:09):
Music shop, or whatever, that would means something about in
the music shop, I would stop caring and then I would be far
away and I would be, you know, should I buy the thing?
So I just have more unfinished projects lying around.
It was a weird feeling but you were very know.
You were up and supported. I think that is my, like
favorite thing to do. It's just, you know.
Yeah, there's drop afterwards but then you have to tell people
(17:32):
how we solve the problem. You have a recording of Titus
andronicus. I do we solved was James, Judi
Dench by Shakespeare Baby. Shakespeare baby.
I did I have a vintage is like Ithink it's from like the 50's
vinyl recording of Titus and so that's what we used.
(17:52):
The first time we actually did, we do have two records in the
house, one is an original printing, original Polishing
thing pressing of the whiffenpoofs 1960 Yale, Coral
thing. So the with a booster,
basically, a mail pouch. Am acapella group.
(18:15):
Yeah. That's been at Yale for a
billions billions years. And my grandfather was one in
the 60s and he gave Katie his LPlike, his record of it that they
give to the members. It was still surprised
possession. Pretty cool.
And so I'm just going to do it. That was really cool.
That was really awesome. Just with the regular record
player Well, Eric's half-ass, exactly sketchy needle.
(18:37):
And so yeah, we were going to use that one with my thing
because I had no confidence thatmy little invention wasn't going
to destroy it. Then we had the other one that
came with your phonograph from you know the antique shop you go
traffickers are different than -yeah.
And it wasn't garbage, you know?It's so I just to test the
things. The first time I basically just
took a stethoscope and put a needle on it and then put it in
(19:01):
my ears and then touched it to it to the spinning records.
Heard it was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life and
it wasn't, it didn't play, it wasn't music, it was just like,
just right into my ears. Impulse impulsivity.
Kate worked. I did my time.
So, I've like, not that I thought you were going to fail,
but I'm so blown away with how effectively that worked.
(19:23):
That was incredible. Thanks super excited for people
to see the video. Thanks was the video Drop in
probably today. Emails asking with that guys, in
the band are Release the video. Well, the next day, I've been
talking for a long time, so I'llstop and I'm also not not have
your focused on, it's still a little bit, the back of my head
but making something that can play a record like a vinyl
(19:44):
record. Like that is super fucking easy.
You literally just need a stethoscope and the needle.
So cool. We're good to go.
What what I really want to do this far?
More impressive is making something that can record audio
that way, which is fundamentallythe same device.
Yeah. Like this is backwards.
It's just backwards. Exactly man, wax paper.
I'm telling you I still haven't seen.
Let sounds awesome. Would you remember how how you
(20:07):
did that in Girl Scouts know? I remember that we cut out a
piece of wax paper. And that's all I remember.
Do you remember if you like I was I was really I guess that's
true worried about what my arch nemesis was doing an
arch-nemesis emesis and Girl Scouts what was her name.
I'm not going to say it on the podcast true but she's my
(20:30):
arch-nemesis and we fucking hated each other.
We hate it or shove each other, but her mom was also in charge
of the troop and so like it was like this whole thing.
And so I spent a lot Like time and girls guys, just like hating
this particular girl and just being mad that I had to be there
and then she's my arch-nemesis man.
(20:52):
When did it start? What sparked?
The no numbness. See what started?
It was like, fourth grade. So I was like real little but I
remember it came to a head because she had transferred from
a different school and there waslike weird tension be the such a
(21:12):
stupid story. So I was not good at school as a
little kid because I would I would just read the book and
Then I would be done with schoollike the second week of school
and then my teachers will get mad at me because I was just
like, fuck it around in the back.
And so my fourth grade teacher was like, okay well why don't we
get her? A what are we get?
(21:34):
Katie couple of like books reading.
Oh my God, I'm telling the storyso bad.
You're nailing it bubs. You're nailing it crushing it.
Okay, you're good news here. So your heart good, I was.
Okay, so basically I was really good at reading and I was bored
all the time and so my teachers were like solution.
(21:56):
We're going to give you a bunch of work at a grade level that is
much higher than your own. With the idea that then that
way, that would keep me busy. Now this worked except that they
also decided that the only placethat I could do it was out in
the hallway. So they would just like hand me
like in eighth, grade reading, text book and be like, okay, go
out to the hallway. And I had to be like, shunned by
(22:18):
my other classmates because I was just like sitting in the
Hall. But I was still get the work
done, really, really fast, because hyperlexia is a thing.
And so, then this girl got, like, jealous.
I think her mom got jealous. I think she was fine with it,
but her mom got mad that I was getting, like, special smart kid
treatment. So, she went to the principal
(22:38):
and she like, picked this big fight.
So then this girl got to like, come out in the hallway with me
and we hadn't like, work on stuff together, but we did not
get along. And she was also like, perhaps,
A slower reader than me and I perhaps did not have the
patience and kindness in my heart yet to be like, that's
okay. And I just get really frustrated
(22:59):
because she was like, slowing medown to get in fights all the
time. So that her mom started a Girl
Scout Troop and we were voting for what we wanted, the name of
our troops to be. Now obviously the correct answer
was the unicorns because I was very into Sweet Valley twins at
the time. So we've Ali twins is a book
(23:20):
series that Millennials read. Read about and they had a club.
It was think we're called the unicorns.
But anyway, what is it like Dragon Tales?
What is now, it's a valley toys.It's about these two sisters and
they like boys. And that's basically the whole
book series is called The Sweet Valley Twins and they just like,
go shopping and shit. I don't know sometimes stuff
(23:41):
happens, but it sounds delightful is thing.
Anyway, also the reason why I desperately wanted to be 56 my
entire life was because that's how tall the Sweet Valley Twins
were anyway, are you 56? Yeah well we really made it.
I hit Sex. I feel like I willed myself to
be 56 nice but I don't know how that works.
Yeah, so we were voting on the on the badge that we would
(24:01):
choose for our troop. And I wanted to be the unicorns
like this, we value Twins. And my arch-nemesis wanted to be
the pine trees and she gave a big speech about how we should
be the pine trees because pine trees are tall and everlasting,
and they green, and there's style word or whatever the fuck
and I was like unicorn superior but then here's The thing we had
(24:23):
a vote by putting pennies into coffee cans, but here and so we
all got ten pennies and we had to like Voz.
We could pick like first place. Second place third place, but we
had to be a perfect choice. Here's the thing.
Eric. Hell yeah, I could do a little
bit of maths, even if a young age and I was like wait a
second. If all the girls in this troop
(24:43):
got ten pennies there should only be 80, pennies or like
whatever it was but there were more because my arch-nemesis had
rigged the vote because her Was the troop leader and so she put
a bunch of extra pennies in the can before we got there and she
rigged the vote and caught her and so then it came to a head.
(25:06):
This is so much Intrigue is likepolitical Intrigue, fourth grade
girl. That's all we do.
It's very dramatic. But so we went to a sleep over
at her house and it was me and Ithink it was mostly Girl Scout
Troop but some of the girls werefrom like a different school.
I don't remember. But they were like, oh, we're
going to give you a makeover. She like, talk me into like,
(25:28):
giving me a makeover, but that and when she gave me the
makeover, she just clowned me. She just made me look like a
dumb clown and she put, like, way too much makeup on my face
and maybe look really foolish. And so I was really embarrassed
about, I was like really mad, really upset because I was like
you know, but I don't want to show it because I wasn't gonna
let her get to me. So I was like oh no could you
like take me to the bathroom andI'll go like wash my face and
she was like yeah. And then I was like do you have
(25:49):
any like washcloths? And she was like yeah they're in
this. Drawer and when she bent down, I
pulled the door open really fastand smashed it into her face.
Jeepers, creepers. And that I was asked to leave
the Girl Scout Troop Do you think Jason Bourne, her eye, she
saw his car to, I looked her up on me.
I looked her up on Instagram like a little bit ago.
She wears this statute of limitations, for assaulting, a
(26:10):
fourth grade. I don't know, but it was the
worst thing I ever done. I feel guilty about it all the
time, but I was really upset because they like, they like
everybody got together. The party to make fun of me, you
think? So?
One, that is true, that dumbest story I've ever told of this
podcast. Well.
So, what would frustrate like, if I was that if I was you like,
(26:30):
what would also Frustrate me about that.
Is that not only did they like Do a dick move, but they did it
by manipulating a system. Like, dude, it was a voting
system, A ranked Choice voting system.
You know, kin to disrespect the process private reading group
and she tried, and then, and then clown me.
(26:51):
And I was like three strikes andyou're out, drawer, the face.
I'm so glad I'm taller than he was around to reach down and
it's your also. I feel like it was a garage that
I feel like if I searched my soul, It was an accident but I
convinced myself that I was a badass and I had done it on
purpose. Well so was there a there was a
(27:12):
drawer with wash cloths in your school bathroom.
No. This was that her parents are
like was looking for like makeupwipes or whatever.
Okay so she can get you for trespassing too.
Yeah. Well I was invited well this
prison was that I was not after you hit her in the toe, why?
No, I'm just thinking that we know that Lisa's episode.
I'm gonna incriminate myself, no, statute of limitations.
(27:33):
It's gotta be Ten years or so, you know, I was 25 years ago.
So anyway, arch-nemesis if you're listening Not fucking
sorry. I am though.
I also work on makeup. It's cool.
You were a clown makeup School. Some purpose.
Yeah, on purpose. Oh we got it was at boarding
(27:55):
school and we got I had one point.
I had I got really into skippingclass which now I can trace back
to the moment. I like my decline of giving a
fuck about anything, you know, like that started a 10-year
long, whatever of not giving youshit about stuff, which it's
good to be able to not give it ashit about stuff, but it's not
(28:16):
good to compulsively. Not give a shit about stuff
that's fair. Um but anyway so I had detention
every day. It was like they couldn't
literally couldn't give me more detention.
Yeah. And it's impressive out of
thanks. So, anyways, I just sort of
having fun with it. And so one time my friend ASA,
and eyeshadow, tasya, high, he doesn't listen to my fucking
pocket, you know, maybe does, hey, how are you sir?
(28:40):
But one day we just, we were in detention, was basically 8:00 in
the morning on a Saturday, you write.
And you just had to sit in this rotunda and the one rule was
you. You couldn't go to sleep, you
couldn't shut your eyes, you could blink, obviously, you
couldn't sleep. So the torture of it was the
fact that you just had to sit there.
Bored out of your fucking face in a classroom setting with,
(29:03):
like, you know, the tick of the clock and the hum of the
whatever. The, for me, the easiest
possible, place to fall asleep and just stay awake for fucking
three hours. It was brutal.
But anyway, so we were walking there or whether we were at
breakfast before then and my friend who was a visual artist,
Came by and she had like her person her on her and she was a
(29:27):
visual art. So she carried a bunch of random
shit around. And yeah, anyway, she had I
think talcum powder for whateverreason and then lipstick as well
in her purse and so I can pound on the face lipstick for makeup
and she I mean she was real she did a really good job and we had
like characters where I was likethe sad clown with the brown and
Hayes had like the big like it looked like she knew a thing or
(29:48):
two about clown makeup. Um anyways and then we just
walked in with my makeup. on herface, isn't fucking Ulysses that
the monitor guy got really mad but it's like, what are you
gonna do? May give us more detention lies.
We say what? Why did you show up for
detention? If it was at 8:00 on a Saturday
morning I would have been like nah just give me more detention
and then I would just never havegone to detention.
(30:09):
Yeah, I'm gonna get, I guess it's I imagine if you don't show
up to detention then it would just compounded eventually end
up in like a suspension or something.
And the worst thing for me because like I was the whole
time I was just like holy fucking my privilege to be able
to be here. I was like, the last thing I
wanted was to feel like I was You know, a beautifully or not,
(30:30):
not taking advantage of the factthat I was able to be here,
which obviously a lot of cognitive dissonance there
because I was skipping class, which got really, you know, so
whatever. But for some reason, the idea of
like getting suspended was just embarrassing.
Cause then you have to literallyface your parents, like your, my
parents knew that I got detention and stuff but, you
know, yeah, it was boarding school so I wouldn't see him for
(30:52):
months and months and months at a time.
So I was like, whatever they'll be mad at me when I go home for
the holidays. But suspension, like you would
have to go go home and they'd belike, so you fuck, you know,
whatever. That's okay.
But, you know, comic up, dude. You never had detention really
well. That's not true.
And my last week of my senior year of high school.
(31:14):
One of my teachers is jokingly gave me detention because it was
like, funny that I never got detention ever.
That's funny. And so, they were like, oh,
Earnest said your attention. And I cried because I thought I
was gonna have to actually go. I didn't do anything.
And then he was like, no, no, no.
I was just kidding. I was But I was really upset
because I never had detention what a pain, it was hard, it was
(31:35):
hard to not get in touch becausewe were get detention.
If our shirts were on talked, orif we were the wrong color
socks. Wow.
And so straight to detention forthat.
Yeah, well, yeah, it was instantattention.
If you're sure it was on talk toknow and I was like, the early
2000s. It was like low-rise pants.
It like shorts shirts. It was hard.
It was a hard give your shirt, tuck gun.
(31:57):
Yeah, it's like a whole thing orif you Old your skirt up too
short. They give you detention.
Wow. Did you?
They do the whole like ruler thing?
Usually only just met with me all day meet you.
Neal? Yeah.
Well, I just see because your skirt have had a touch the
floor. Oh, that seems weird.
I do something about that. Rubs me, the wrong way.
(32:19):
Well, yeah, I mean, some male, fucking teacher coming in and
demanding all the girls kneel onthe floor so we can check how
short their skirts are. Like there's some there's some
fuck up or either. And also is a Catholic School.
Sure. They're like, literal actual
like kneelers and most of the classrooms there's like, there's
like a spot. Oh, wow.
(32:41):
There was like a spot where theywould.
Ya. That is Jesus Christ.
You know, you know, I was opening drawers on people's
faces, yesterday's gone through a lot.
I know what good for you. I think you should have gotten,
you should have gotten a Girl Scout badge, just for that
hardest to clown. There was.
(33:01):
And then while the, the summation of that story was I
stopped going to Girl Scouts because of that.
And we just just hated each other.
And so I think our moms just kind of were like, okay, like
maybe we should just like keep them separate.
So then my mom just independently found out that you
can just get Girl Scout badges. Like as long as you're like, in
(33:23):
the Girl Scouts, you can still get Girl Scout badges.
And so I would just like, go around and do like random shit
with like, no, I'm just by myself and I would get Girl,
Scout badges. Nice.
That was pretty cool. Way to be that.
I was like excited about doing girls.
If I print making badge, that's the most important thing is
(33:45):
cool. You beat Girl Scouts.
I did I know II? Yeah, I broke it broke.
Girl Scouts, you broke. I'll show you game.
Didn't left right A B. Would it be well?
Bob that's a that's 33 minutes of whatever that was also if
your children or selling Girl Scout.
Cookies asking if inquest podcast.com, I need some
(34:06):
pendants. Oh yeah.
Look at these Girl Scout cookie season.
Is it Girl Scout? Season.
I've never learned when it is because I like just being
surprised by it. Bring you okay.
Yeah. Noted using to associate with
Robbins. Other than Batman or Princess
Bride? Yeah, or Williams.
Yeah. Banks walkouts is a Banks damage
(34:33):
or letting letting Bob enter your home letting Robin.
Oh, Jesus Christ or Comedians like this, rock writer joke.
Okay, alright was Rob Reiner, considered a comedian, I don't
know. Is it film director Ivan?
(34:53):
I think I was I'm thinking of the wrong guy.
I mean, I know him as the South Park character, frankly.
So I don't, I don't really know.Well, I really feel like we've
achieved our mission statement of educating people to ADHD and
raising lawyer. We are athd.
(35:15):
Boomer is, you know? No.
I mean if we want to go back, I think we just have to you know
decide that that's what we're going to do.
That's fine. To quote our time isn't cool.
I'm just going to tell awkward stories from my childhood.
That's called a moth in Somali. I just invented the Moss.
I really want to be on the Moss.You did great on them.
I know I'm fucking crush them off.
(35:36):
We have to know somebody if you can get me on the moth emails as
get ever closer I guess and I will tell the story about the
time that I became a professional or tea organizer.
Yeah, exactly. That one.

Yeah, my cousin is getting baptized and so I need a ride,
everybody, welcome back. We're so glad to be back with
(03:29):
you. After a short break, a short
break, we'll call it a between season, it's a long boring
fucking story, but it's just been a lot of like off again on
again. And by that, I mean
antidepressants working and they're not working and working
again and professional. So but are getting too much
detail. Basically, we're doing a thing
with some. We've talked about e-therapy
(03:50):
like we've mentioned, we're working with geek Therapeutics
raven, like, officially started doing stuff for the.
We start in April, we're showingany of it.
Well, that's kind of. The thing is, we didn't know
it's a long story but like contract stuff about.
We didn't know what they wanted in when and so we kind of didn't
know how to make podcasts because we were worried like if
we post It they're like, hey, weneed you were supposed to do a
(04:11):
thing, even they're not, we forgot my podcast.
I got scared everybody, but we've we now know exactly what's
going on. So anyways, we can make podcasts
without being terrified. They were accidentally breaching
a contract or something. We're good.
We got it. We got it, which is also nobody
did anything wrong. It's just, there's a lot of
bugging moving Parts this out ofUniversity HD.
It's hard to remember. Yeah, you know, because I'm
(04:38):
like, okay, I don't wanna screw this up.
Want to do a really good job. Like we're super excited to be
working with them don't but if it don't fit open it and then it
just became like an impossible task of, you know.
Yeah, this isn't something I really like care about and think
is badass, you know. It's like we're selling
underwear, it's like d care products is the shit.
And so, I was like, I want to doyou buy them if you're
listening? Yeah, I mean, I will sell
(04:58):
underwear on underwear, if they are, ethically made and soft
soft. Then credibly, soft buttery.
They say water is that so? Is there?
They're buttery soft. That's not okay.
That's, that's solid. Yeah, that's a good description
area versus. I'm just saying those are, I've
(05:21):
never had a green ever read or never been on a Casper mattress.
I have sir. Pretty good.
Are they? Yeah, let's takes it.
Like you should get like a top thing for it because it's not
really like a matte is mattress so much as it is.
I'm sure there's a whole mattresses are but like the the
Casper. Yeah.
What it led to like patent thing.
Sakura like a big Matrix of hexagons which are the best
(05:43):
icons which kind of likes question and interesting way but
got some matches are good. Let's get it off.
Just rubbing underwear is buttery, makes me think of the
time, my dad was traveling to India for work and he was
getting a ride from the airport somewhere and they passed a
McDonald's in my dad was like, apparently it was like it was
like the first McDonald's in that area.
(06:05):
And so he was like oh, you know,there's a McDonald's here in the
driver said I love McDonald's. AIDS.
It's so creamy. What he described.
The McDonald. Like McDonald's is being creamy,
which it totally. Is, that is exactly, right?
Like, tell me McDonald's. Cheeseburger isn't creamy, you
know, it's not creepy air and scream, what are you talking?
You also get it with nothing. So, what is going on with your
(06:28):
levels versus my levels right show?
That is weirdo. No today.
Old. Away from the mic.
Sorry. Me and the future who has to did
you accidentally turn yours up? Instead of mine is Island shame
because I'm a quiet quiet guy. Our levels are the same.
(06:49):
I think I was just a little loud, a little voice, just a
little guy with a little God little voice who's ready to see
boobs Q2, that's a really radiant she is Fredrik.
Well, sorry you're right. Okay, bye guys.
I don't know. I keep really freaking out about
this podcast here because remember when I was like, we're
(07:13):
going to be educational and thennow we're not anymore and I feel
really bad and guilty about it all the time.
I know what you mean. I don't do you like us being
educational or not email, is to ask if Inner Quest podcast.com
poultry. I think a particular part of
this gig that I'm bad at anything of, you know, the
podcast pod, save America. No Billy.
(07:35):
No I don't listen to podcast. No not really or no you really
haven't heard I've literally never heard it.
Oh it's a podcast political podcast that's it's easily.
One of the most popular podcastslike in the world.
Victorian England is not, is it about serial killers and
Victorian ankle? It is not, is it about Victorian
(07:58):
adaptations of Shakespeare playsin Victorian England?
Nope, that I don't care. Okay, listen, I like to
podcasts, very specific. Fine.
That well, there is a podcast bulb, lots of America, which is
formed hosted by former Obama staffers and speech writers.
(08:19):
So they're like, they know how not just like Washington works
but like, the presidency work. So they have like that girl.
Anyways, but it's a largely newspolicy podcast.
But anyways, there's speech writers and so something that
they had to learn to do and theyhave to, like, teach the people
that they write speeches for to do, is that you are going to be
saying the same Same thing over and over and over and over
(08:42):
again. And it's going to feel really,
really weird for you. Yeah.
But the people you're talking tohave it necessarily heard you
say it. Yeah.
So like that's why I like BernieSanders talking about, you know
you know it's like a meme. How often he says the word
billionaires. It's because he's been saying
the same shit for 40 years because he's farting, right.
(09:02):
But so do you people who are familiar with Bernie Sanders?
It's like, wow, he talks about that a lot, but if you're just
hearing about them then you wantto hear his fucking point.
Sometimes I kind of feel like that where, you know, we could
totally do another episode on executive functions.
We could totally do another episode on how athd impacts
school or sex life or whatever, which, you know, I think we
(09:23):
should do but it's sort of counterintuitive because for us
it's like, we've already talked about that before.
But it's like, you know, to somebody who just cares about
the podcast, they may not have so okay.
But what if instead we just turned we call Em and we're like
hot new pitch. It's me and Eric.
Eric and you, and we only talk about Jack the Ripper.
(09:44):
I feel like that should just be um I don't, I have no place in
that podcast and Schultz, by theway, that one of the hosts of in
that's why we drink in front of the class and just kind of ours,
one of the only podcast that I listen to all right, this is
more pockets are great time. They're really good for filling
up that like 10% of your brain. That is excruciating Lee board
when you're like doing a menial task that's 10 years for.
(10:07):
Yeah, that too. Yeah, I just brought that back
around. That was really good.
Guys cop. That was top-tier, how you gonna
finish your chores if you're super Horny though, that's the
thing. I guess she really good.
Rub one out afterwards, the amount of things that have
fallen off of surfaces in my office today.
(10:29):
Yeah, we can we do composed? We do we do lectures and King
convention. You Katie?
Okay, I'll mark it and then afterwards.
We'll talk about think is up first time that we have said,
the word horny on infinite Quest.
I don't think so, I don't think so.
I think this is an old story first.
Somebody make a Supercut of us saying.
(10:51):
Horny horny, horny horny, was that me was last one me that was
you? Katie, what do you call it?
What's like a popular just sort of word for describing sexual
arousal. Thanks Katie.
It's appreciate turn and not feel like an infinite Quest
(11:14):
podcasts. This is there to feel like some
weird like bro. Shit at all like this.
Okay. Don't start over.
No. Winter was no, it's okay.
Was it? I like new?
We're In Too Deep. Okay, fine.
I feel bad that I said we just sort of I stand by it.
I stand by it. Last part of this one just like,
(11:41):
well, I guess that does answer the question.
How is your ADHD going that great?
Well, let's do five towering changes in.
I mean, should just bring it, bring it, bring it back around.
Well, bring it back on, but a mighty HD has been.
There's like a particular, like type Of my ADHD, you know, like
a mood of my ADHD. Yeah.
Which is like, very purposeful, very sort of like executive, you
(12:04):
know, sort of like a like a Christoph Waltz in and the
consultant, no spoilers. But you know, you can see in
the, he plays a very managerial kind of character, whole rant
about that show. Yeah, yeah, it's fine finishes.
It's like my brain is like, thisis what we should do.
(12:25):
Let's do this. You know, it's like very Civ,
what's that, like. But then in like, after like an
hour and a half of hyper focusing, my brain goes.
Okay, that was a total fucking waste of time.
That was not what we should havedone.
Let's do this other thing and then I'll do this other thing
I'm like, yeah, so it's like I'mable to focus on like an
immediate on a thing for Adam out of time.
(12:47):
Yeah. But my task prioritization is
still garbage. So it's like I have the focus of
a not ADHD thing, but like, my brain still can't decide where
to point it. I'm not worried about you
yesterday. Really.
Yeah, was that because like, I watched that happening in real
time and I knew that unless I could find a record for you, you
(13:11):
would not rest. Oh, yeah.
And I was trying to, like, I literally had this mowers.
Like should I like next door andask about their Hood?
If anybody has like a record that we and then I remembered I
had the That we found but then Iwas like it's not really like
like it works and it's fine hashtag video incoming.
Yeah, right. Um but I was like, oh maybe we
should like and then I started hyper fixating on like we should
(13:33):
get a better record. Like you know, something that's
like iconic or whatever. And so just became this whole
thing where I was like, watchingyou hyper fixate on getting the
thing that you wanted to, you could do your video.
But then I was like, worried about making like it just, it
got weird. I was like, I was like, I felt
like, I was like, feeding your hyper fixation but in like, Good
way. Which mean, I mean, it was kind
(13:54):
of scary. Yes, well I mean I know it's a
secret but yeah, so yesterday I made.
Yeah, I didn't know if you wanted it to be like a secret
gramophone. So, it was very cool, like, I
need to stress. This is one of the cooler things
that I've ever seen. Eric, do no.
Thank you. It was really neat.
Was like all sides and shit. Thanks sweets.
But so you have a phonograph, you know what, the big Dudu, big
(14:15):
Bell thing. And it goes point for thinking
is the crank was broken and so Iwas like, having a good fix that
thing. And so I started with taking the
needle holder off and lighting it apart, and see what's wrong
with it. Turns out the needle just broke
off and it's not one where you can just sort of easily replace
the needle. And so it's like okay I could
(14:35):
either make try to take this pre-existing thing and use stuff
that's lying around to try to make it work again or I could
just make a new one and it was like very cool start from
scratch and then I remembered wehad we got a stethoscope from
Thrift stop because I thought itwas cool.
And we got one in stethoscopes. Pretty much our photographs,
(14:58):
they're exactly the same thing. But instead of leading up to
like a bell, it leads to like ear input things.
And instead of a needle on a record, it's just, you know,
surface up against the sounding thing on.
The end of it, it was like, oh, I could make that thing that
into a great photograph in two seconds and so I did.
(15:21):
But we didn't. Have a record to test it on, so
I was like a thousand percent sure that it would work, but we
could, I couldn't verify it because we didn't have a record
to test it on. And so it became a whole thing
of like, Well, maybe we went to Goodwill basically, and they
didn't have one, but it was, I felt that I was kind of scared
(15:41):
because I was like, oh shit. Yeah, it was like, I'm about to
drop beige. I'm about to drop, like I've
been Super Hyper focused on thisfor like 5 hours.
And I'm like going hard. I mean, my I mean, frankly, I'm
in my own time, not in my happy place.
That's like my favorite place tobe and then being faced with
like, oh, and now you're abruptly stopped without be have
(16:03):
the payoff at the end of the thing working.
That was scary and I started literally going like I bet like
you know our neighborhood. It's not just like hey do you
have any? Yeah you know vinyls that like
but like bad ones because I might have fucked it up with my
you know my haphazardly thrown together a little device but
yeah that was weird and I mean it wasn't it was like the
(16:25):
prospect of having to like Stop and like, okay, we've been to
the closest thrift store. So now we have to go like, for
like, at least a 10 to 15 minutedrive, so that's half an hour
both ways and then it's like we got to go find like it just
became like I don't want to anymore like you know, it was
just that immediate like I just want you know, and I was like I
(16:48):
just I get so frustrated about something like that and I could
feel like the ticking clock of it where it's like, okay, I know
I only care about this for another 45 like I know that's
The case. So if we you know and that was
at the Goodwill realizing didn'thave an lpo like I 45 minutes
before. I stopped caring what this
project, you know, like so if wego to another historic, go to
(17:09):
Music shop, or whatever, that would means something about in
the music shop, I would stop caring and then I would be far
away and I would be, you know, should I buy the thing?
So I just have more unfinished projects lying around.
It was a weird feeling but you were very know.
You were up and supported. I think that is my, like
favorite thing to do. It's just, you know.
Yeah, there's drop afterwards but then you have to tell people
(17:32):
how we solve the problem. You have a recording of Titus
andronicus. I do we solved was James, Judi
Dench by Shakespeare Baby. Shakespeare baby.
I did I have a vintage is like Ithink it's from like the 50's
vinyl recording of Titus and so that's what we used.
(17:52):
The first time we actually did, we do have two records in the
house, one is an original printing, original Polishing
thing pressing of the whiffenpoofs 1960 Yale, Coral
thing. So the with a booster,
basically, a mail pouch. Am acapella group.
(18:15):
Yeah. That's been at Yale for a
billions billions years. And my grandfather was one in
the 60s and he gave Katie his LPlike, his record of it that they
give to the members. It was still surprised
possession. Pretty cool.
And so I'm just going to do it. That was really cool.
That was really awesome. Just with the regular record
player Well, Eric's half-ass, exactly sketchy needle.
(18:37):
And so yeah, we were going to use that one with my thing
because I had no confidence thatmy little invention wasn't going
to destroy it. Then we had the other one that
came with your phonograph from you know the antique shop you go
traffickers are different than -yeah.
And it wasn't garbage, you know?It's so I just to test the
things. The first time I basically just
took a stethoscope and put a needle on it and then put it in
(19:01):
my ears and then touched it to it to the spinning records.
Heard it was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life and
it wasn't, it didn't play, it wasn't music, it was just like,
just right into my ears. Impulse impulsivity.
Kate worked. I did my time.
So, I've like, not that I thought you were going to fail,
but I'm so blown away with how effectively that worked.
(19:23):
That was incredible. Thanks super excited for people
to see the video. Thanks was the video Drop in
probably today. Emails asking with that guys, in
the band are Release the video. Well, the next day, I've been
talking for a long time, so I'llstop and I'm also not not have
your focused on, it's still a little bit, the back of my head
but making something that can play a record like a vinyl
(19:44):
record. Like that is super fucking easy.
You literally just need a stethoscope and the needle.
So cool. We're good to go.
What what I really want to do this far?
More impressive is making something that can record audio
that way, which is fundamentallythe same device.
Yeah. Like this is backwards.
It's just backwards. Exactly man, wax paper.
I'm telling you I still haven't seen.
Let sounds awesome. Would you remember how how you
(20:07):
did that in Girl Scouts know? I remember that we cut out a
piece of wax paper. And that's all I remember.
Do you remember if you like I was I was really I guess that's
true worried about what my arch nemesis was doing an
arch-nemesis emesis and Girl Scouts what was her name.
I'm not going to say it on the podcast true but she's my
(20:30):
arch-nemesis and we fucking hated each other.
We hate it or shove each other, but her mom was also in charge
of the troop and so like it was like this whole thing.
And so I spent a lot Like time and girls guys, just like hating
this particular girl and just being mad that I had to be there
and then she's my arch-nemesis man.
(20:52):
When did it start? What sparked?
The no numbness. See what started?
It was like, fourth grade. So I was like real little but I
remember it came to a head because she had transferred from
a different school and there waslike weird tension be the such a
(21:12):
stupid story. So I was not good at school as a
little kid because I would I would just read the book and
Then I would be done with schoollike the second week of school
and then my teachers will get mad at me because I was just
like, fuck it around in the back.
And so my fourth grade teacher was like, okay well why don't we
get her? A what are we get?
(21:34):
Katie couple of like books reading.
Oh my God, I'm telling the storyso bad.
You're nailing it bubs. You're nailing it crushing it.
Okay, you're good news here. So your heart good, I was.
Okay, so basically I was really good at reading and I was bored
all the time and so my teachers were like solution.
(21:56):
We're going to give you a bunch of work at a grade level that is
much higher than your own. With the idea that then that
way, that would keep me busy. Now this worked except that they
also decided that the only placethat I could do it was out in
the hallway. So they would just like hand me
like in eighth, grade reading, text book and be like, okay, go
out to the hallway. And I had to be like, shunned by
(22:18):
my other classmates because I was just like sitting in the
Hall. But I was still get the work
done, really, really fast, because hyperlexia is a thing.
And so, then this girl got, like, jealous.
I think her mom got jealous. I think she was fine with it,
but her mom got mad that I was getting, like, special smart kid
treatment. So, she went to the principal
(22:38):
and she like, picked this big fight.
So then this girl got to like, come out in the hallway with me
and we hadn't like, work on stuff together, but we did not
get along. And she was also like, perhaps,
A slower reader than me and I perhaps did not have the
patience and kindness in my heart yet to be like, that's
okay. And I just get really frustrated
(22:59):
because she was like, slowing medown to get in fights all the
time. So that her mom started a Girl
Scout Troop and we were voting for what we wanted, the name of
our troops to be. Now obviously the correct answer
was the unicorns because I was very into Sweet Valley twins at
the time. So we've Ali twins is a book
(23:20):
series that Millennials read. Read about and they had a club.
It was think we're called the unicorns.
But anyway, what is it like Dragon Tales?
What is now, it's a valley toys.It's about these two sisters and
they like boys. And that's basically the whole
book series is called The Sweet Valley Twins and they just like,
go shopping and shit. I don't know sometimes stuff
(23:41):
happens, but it sounds delightful is thing.
Anyway, also the reason why I desperately wanted to be 56 my
entire life was because that's how tall the Sweet Valley Twins
were anyway, are you 56? Yeah well we really made it.
I hit Sex. I feel like I willed myself to
be 56 nice but I don't know how that works.
Yeah, so we were voting on the on the badge that we would
(24:01):
choose for our troop. And I wanted to be the unicorns
like this, we value Twins. And my arch-nemesis wanted to be
the pine trees and she gave a big speech about how we should
be the pine trees because pine trees are tall and everlasting,
and they green, and there's style word or whatever the fuck
and I was like unicorn superior but then here's The thing we had
(24:23):
a vote by putting pennies into coffee cans, but here and so we
all got ten pennies and we had to like Voz.
We could pick like first place. Second place third place, but we
had to be a perfect choice. Here's the thing.
Eric. Hell yeah, I could do a little
bit of maths, even if a young age and I was like wait a
second. If all the girls in this troop
(24:43):
got ten pennies there should only be 80, pennies or like
whatever it was but there were more because my arch-nemesis had
rigged the vote because her Was the troop leader and so she put
a bunch of extra pennies in the can before we got there and she
rigged the vote and caught her and so then it came to a head.
(25:06):
This is so much Intrigue is likepolitical Intrigue, fourth grade
girl. That's all we do.
It's very dramatic. But so we went to a sleep over
at her house and it was me and Ithink it was mostly Girl Scout
Troop but some of the girls werefrom like a different school.
I don't remember. But they were like, oh, we're
going to give you a makeover. She like, talk me into like,
(25:28):
giving me a makeover, but that and when she gave me the
makeover, she just clowned me. She just made me look like a
dumb clown and she put, like, way too much makeup on my face
and maybe look really foolish. And so I was really embarrassed
about, I was like really mad, really upset because I was like
you know, but I don't want to show it because I wasn't gonna
let her get to me. So I was like oh no could you
like take me to the bathroom andI'll go like wash my face and
she was like yeah. And then I was like do you have
(25:49):
any like washcloths? And she was like yeah they're in
this. Drawer and when she bent down, I
pulled the door open really fastand smashed it into her face.
Jeepers, creepers. And that I was asked to leave
the Girl Scout Troop Do you think Jason Bourne, her eye, she
saw his car to, I looked her up on me.
I looked her up on Instagram like a little bit ago.
She wears this statute of limitations, for assaulting, a
(26:10):
fourth grade. I don't know, but it was the
worst thing I ever done. I feel guilty about it all the
time, but I was really upset because they like, they like
everybody got together. The party to make fun of me, you
think? So?
One, that is true, that dumbest story I've ever told of this
podcast. Well.
So, what would frustrate like, if I was that if I was you like,
(26:30):
what would also Frustrate me about that.
Is that not only did they like Do a dick move, but they did it
by manipulating a system. Like, dude, it was a voting
system, A ranked Choice voting system.
You know, kin to disrespect the process private reading group
and she tried, and then, and then clown me.
(26:51):
And I was like three strikes andyou're out, drawer, the face.
I'm so glad I'm taller than he was around to reach down and
it's your also. I feel like it was a garage that
I feel like if I searched my soul, It was an accident but I
convinced myself that I was a badass and I had done it on
purpose. Well so was there a there was a
(27:12):
drawer with wash cloths in your school bathroom.
No. This was that her parents are
like was looking for like makeupwipes or whatever.
Okay so she can get you for trespassing too.
Yeah. Well I was invited well this
prison was that I was not after you hit her in the toe, why?
No, I'm just thinking that we know that Lisa's episode.
I'm gonna incriminate myself, no, statute of limitations.
(27:33):
It's gotta be Ten years or so, you know, I was 25 years ago.
So anyway, arch-nemesis if you're listening Not fucking
sorry. I am though.
I also work on makeup. It's cool.
You were a clown makeup School. Some purpose.
Yeah, on purpose. Oh we got it was at boarding
(27:55):
school and we got I had one point.
I had I got really into skippingclass which now I can trace back
to the moment. I like my decline of giving a
fuck about anything, you know, like that started a 10-year
long, whatever of not giving youshit about stuff, which it's
good to be able to not give it ashit about stuff, but it's not
(28:16):
good to compulsively. Not give a shit about stuff
that's fair. Um but anyway so I had detention
every day. It was like they couldn't
literally couldn't give me more detention.
Yeah. And it's impressive out of
thanks. So, anyways, I just sort of
having fun with it. And so one time my friend ASA,
and eyeshadow, tasya, high, he doesn't listen to my fucking
pocket, you know, maybe does, hey, how are you sir?
(28:40):
But one day we just, we were in detention, was basically 8:00 in
the morning on a Saturday, you write.
And you just had to sit in this rotunda and the one rule was
you. You couldn't go to sleep, you
couldn't shut your eyes, you could blink, obviously, you
couldn't sleep. So the torture of it was the
fact that you just had to sit there.
Bored out of your fucking face in a classroom setting with,
(29:03):
like, you know, the tick of the clock and the hum of the
whatever. The, for me, the easiest
possible, place to fall asleep and just stay awake for fucking
three hours. It was brutal.
But anyway, so we were walking there or whether we were at
breakfast before then and my friend who was a visual artist,
Came by and she had like her person her on her and she was a
(29:27):
visual art. So she carried a bunch of random
shit around. And yeah, anyway, she had I
think talcum powder for whateverreason and then lipstick as well
in her purse and so I can pound on the face lipstick for makeup
and she I mean she was real she did a really good job and we had
like characters where I was likethe sad clown with the brown and
Hayes had like the big like it looked like she knew a thing or
(29:48):
two about clown makeup. Um anyways and then we just
walked in with my makeup. on herface, isn't fucking Ulysses that
the monitor guy got really mad but it's like, what are you
gonna do? May give us more detention lies.
We say what? Why did you show up for
detention? If it was at 8:00 on a Saturday
morning I would have been like nah just give me more detention
and then I would just never havegone to detention.
(30:09):
Yeah, I'm gonna get, I guess it's I imagine if you don't show
up to detention then it would just compounded eventually end
up in like a suspension or something.
And the worst thing for me because like I was the whole
time I was just like holy fucking my privilege to be able
to be here. I was like, the last thing I
wanted was to feel like I was You know, a beautifully or not,
(30:30):
not taking advantage of the factthat I was able to be here,
which obviously a lot of cognitive dissonance there
because I was skipping class, which got really, you know, so
whatever. But for some reason, the idea of
like getting suspended was just embarrassing.
Cause then you have to literallyface your parents, like your, my
parents knew that I got detention and stuff but, you
know, yeah, it was boarding school so I wouldn't see him for
(30:52):
months and months and months at a time.
So I was like, whatever they'll be mad at me when I go home for
the holidays. But suspension, like you would
have to go go home and they'd belike, so you fuck, you know,
whatever. That's okay.
But, you know, comic up, dude. You never had detention really
well. That's not true.
And my last week of my senior year of high school.
(31:14):
One of my teachers is jokingly gave me detention because it was
like, funny that I never got detention ever.
That's funny. And so, they were like, oh,
Earnest said your attention. And I cried because I thought I
was gonna have to actually go. I didn't do anything.
And then he was like, no, no, no.
I was just kidding. I was But I was really upset
because I never had detention what a pain, it was hard, it was
(31:35):
hard to not get in touch becausewe were get detention.
If our shirts were on talked, orif we were the wrong color
socks. Wow.
And so straight to detention forthat.
Yeah, well, yeah, it was instantattention.
If you're sure it was on talk toknow and I was like, the early
2000s. It was like low-rise pants.
It like shorts shirts. It was hard.
It was a hard give your shirt, tuck gun.
(31:57):
Yeah, it's like a whole thing orif you Old your skirt up too
short. They give you detention.
Wow. Did you?
They do the whole like ruler thing?
Usually only just met with me all day meet you.
Neal? Yeah.
Well, I just see because your skirt have had a touch the
floor. Oh, that seems weird.
I do something about that. Rubs me, the wrong way.
(32:19):
Well, yeah, I mean, some male, fucking teacher coming in and
demanding all the girls kneel onthe floor so we can check how
short their skirts are. Like there's some there's some
fuck up or either. And also is a Catholic School.
Sure. They're like, literal actual
like kneelers and most of the classrooms there's like, there's
like a spot. Oh, wow.
(32:41):
There was like a spot where theywould.
Ya. That is Jesus Christ.
You know, you know, I was opening drawers on people's
faces, yesterday's gone through a lot.
I know what good for you. I think you should have gotten,
you should have gotten a Girl Scout badge, just for that
hardest to clown. There was.
(33:01):
And then while the, the summation of that story was I
stopped going to Girl Scouts because of that.
And we just just hated each other.
And so I think our moms just kind of were like, okay, like
maybe we should just like keep them separate.
So then my mom just independently found out that you
can just get Girl Scout badges. Like as long as you're like, in
(33:23):
the Girl Scouts, you can still get Girl Scout badges.
And so I would just like, go around and do like random shit
with like, no, I'm just by myself and I would get Girl,
Scout badges. Nice.
That was pretty cool. Way to be that.
I was like excited about doing girls.
If I print making badge, that's the most important thing is
(33:45):
cool. You beat Girl Scouts.
I did I know II? Yeah, I broke it broke.
Girl Scouts, you broke. I'll show you game.
Didn't left right A B. Would it be well?

Oh, Jesus Christ or Comedians like this, rock writer joke.
Okay, alright was Rob Reiner, considered a comedian, I don't
know. Is it film director Ivan?
(34:53):
I think I was I'm thinking of the wrong guy.
I mean, I know him as the South Park character, frankly.
So I don't, I don't really know.Well, I really feel like we've
achieved our mission statement of educating people to ADHD and
raising lawyer. We are athd.
(35:15):
Boomer is, you know? No.
I mean if we want to go back, I think we just have to you know
decide that that's what we're going to do.
That's fine. To quote our time isn't cool.
I'm just going to tell awkward stories from my childhood.
That's called a moth in Somali. I just invented the Moss.
I really want to be on the Moss.You did great on them.
I know I'm fucking crush them off.
(35:36):
We have to know somebody if you can get me on the moth emails as

time that I became a professional or tea organizer.
Yeah, exactly. That one.
