Memoir of a Defeatist

I talk about my absence from making the podcast and the new direction I’m going to try taking it.

I was able to get all of my siblings together to join me for one special game night with my friend Fellix and my boyfriend Dave, who was visiting from out of town. We're playing Dixit, a game where you try to make your friends guess the card you're describing while they try to steal your points away from you! You can learn more about Dixit here: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39856/dixit Many thanks to my friends who most have appeared in past episodes: Lauren (Who Is America Group reactions) David (several Game Nights and WIA Group reactions) Camille (Pilot for Windy Wednesday) Dave, who flew here from California to be here (Pilot for WW) John (Host of "Not Your Real Dads" on Spotify and Google Podcasts) Fellix (Blue Collar Berkshire) and Corynn, who's first time on the podcast is today! You can listen to John cohost his show by visiting this link: https://open.spotify.com/show/11yQNjHYgIni1pk8NhFDDU?si=Q1kSYNRZQ3C6xXgjlg35TA

My friends and I watch a preview of Showtime’s Who Is America by Sacha Baron Cohen. https://youtu.be/QkXeMoBPSDk

In this hour long episode, I ask my good friend @DemoWeasel about his experience moving from the west sode to the east side of the US, and what challenges he faced moving there, such as motives, income, and social life. Why move?

Where I am, what I’m doing, what I want to do, and where it may take us.

In this episode, Casey Neistat's brother pitches an idea to me about an inventive new way of making milk, in a dream. I also talk about why the last few episodes were riddled with plosives, and we end with some Jon Hopkins.

No news this week as I try to figure out how to best present the news, but I am presenting you with an example of what to expect from the trivia portion of the episodes. I am joined by Camille, David, @AylorSot, and @modernsqueeze. You can hear more of ThesePantsDontFit on SoundCloud, at https://soundcloud.com/user-830426015.

In this episode, I briefly talk about furries and the dynamics of a community that has saved and sheltered me. What makes us strong? Where do we falter? How does it fit into a world that once shunned it, but is coming around to the idea of what it cultivates and represents?

Still working on getting proper audio for Game Nights. Also used Filmstro to score the rule sequence. Would have used it for the game play if it was particularly great but there's background sounds going on and I'm way behind posting this episode and others! Largest game of Spyfall I've ever had; eleven people in one room, and two spies instead of one! Playing with two spies is confusing, we couldn't figure out how to properly do accusations. Here are the names of the people I can remember off the top of my head involved. Dave Jai Dev Jesse Sabrina Flain Brackhar

Episode 1 of The Snake: I say so long to my old room and I get ready to move into my new home with the help of my brother (who this all would not have been possible without). All episodes are accompanied with music best experienced within the Anchor app with an active subscription to Spotify or Apple Music.

What is it like working a blue collar job in the town that hosts the richest man in the world? I talk to my friend Fellix to get the scoop on working private jets and what goes on inside the Centurylink Center that hosts the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting. CW: Mild profanity

Recap from last week's Game Night!

There was a lot of bad weather this week, but fortunately I was able to avoid much of it working outside this week! Sources: KETV Newswatch 7 Reed Timmer randia63 ABC News Associated Press (on behalf of KOCO) 10News WTSP Dylan Toh Tyler Shaw

Who am I? What do I want? How will I get there? Will you join me?
