Jordan:

Hi, I’m Jordan 

Lex:

And I’m Lex. 

Jordan:

And this is Or, Learn Parkour.

Lex: 

It’s a podcast about ADHD done by two fucking idiots who do indeed have ADHD. 

Jordan:

Yeah, we do. We’re back, baby.

Lex:

We are back. And I mean, I haven’t listened to it yet because I’m actively making the sounds with my mouth. But welcome to the luxury Or, Learn Parkour soundscape.

Jordan: 

Welcome to Or, Learn Parkour ultra. 

Lex:

Or, Learn Parkour plush.

Jordan: 

Yeah, that feels cozy.

Lex: 

Yeah. Jordan is truly a saint, really above and beyond. They hung up things in a very organized manner to make our whole podcasting closet. They decked the shit out is what I’m trying to say. And we have a few wall cubes that have fallen, but we will fix those. So it’s gonna be even better next time. That’s the glory of this. But Jordan also got a fancy new mic and some cool equipment that I don’t really understand. I’m looking at it and I’m like, ok, cool, new thing to talk at

Jordan: 

Don’t be fooled, all of the new equipment is very much from eBay and a lot of the new padding in here is cold pack box packing from grocery deliveries.

Lex: 

Oh, I see. I see. 

Jordan:

And it’s just nailed to the ceiling. 

Lex:

Yes. And this blanket has been in my family for at least 15 years. So that’s hilarious.

Jordan: 

Thank you to our sponsors, the Brown family.

Lex: 

Yeah. Oh, and then last, but certainly not least, Jordan consolidated the disco ball lights. So they actually act as one full lamp together and it works pretty nice. It’s centered over us.

Jordan: 

I’ll be honest, I did not do that on purpose. It just happened while I was doing shit around the edges of the room and I think just slowly shouldered them into their fateful resting place now. 

Lex:

Well, you know what that is.

Jordan:

My guardian angel watching over us.

Lex: 

Yeah. So anyways.

Jordan: 

It’s a brand new day here in Parkourville, but that’s not the only fun, interesting, exciting new news in our lives. We got two new cats.

Lex: 

Oh yeah, yes. I was like you, dip dyed your hair. It’s pretty cool.

Jordan: 

I did dip dye my hair and it’s one more bleach process and a fuck load of toner away from being pretty cool. No, I was talking about the two lives that we are now responsible for. 

Lex:

Yeah, the sentient beings that we now have custody of.

Jordan: 

I keep getting follow up emails from the vet about the last appointment and they clearly have some sort of system that just pipes the information into an automated email because I keep getting emails that open with “Hello, Aluminum. Thank you for being our patient.” They’re a cat. They did not have a choice.

Lex: 

But I love how they also just take foil to be the last name.

Jordan: 

Even though I did put it in there as Aluminum Foil Rawlings.

Lex: 

Yeah. No, oh, ok. So a similar problem for me. I am working on rescheduling Petey’s appointment. I just put her in as Petey, but I sent over all of her medical records and stuff via the website. So they saw that her actual name is Pete Wentz and no one has said anything yet. Because the name that I listed on my appointment thing is Petey. P-E-T-E-Y. That’s in case you’re wondering.

Jordan: 

What she’s been called. Either that or Peep.

Lex: 

Yeah, I call her Peep a lot. She got a little peep with little Pete. Yeah.

Jordan: 

But yes, her legal name is Pete Wentz.

Lex: 

Registering her new name with the microchip database is also very fun for me. But my similar frustration that I mean is that I got a text today from the vet being like, hey, we got your voicemail that you had to cancel and reschedule blah, blah, blah, just let us know when you want to bring Petey back for his appointment. And me just being like, gender is a construct, it doesn’t apply because they’re fucking cats. But also the indignant, I marked the girl box. She’s a little girl.

Jordan: 

Her name is Pete Wentz. We are not clear about that.

Lex: 

Her name is Pete Wentz. So you know, it’s those little things. Forgetting the Aluminum Foil is one full first name, thank you very much. But anyways, yeah, just misnaming, misgendering our cats.

Jordan: 

The microaggressions of our vet office are just atrocious. For real though, our vet’s great. If for some odd reason our vet ever listened to this podcast, sorry.

Jordan:

That would be wild. 

Lex:

What if it was an accident?

Jordan: 

They didn’t even know it. Maybe they’re fans of the podcast and have been since forever ago and didn’t even put together that that was us until they’re like, who the fuck named their cats Pete Wentz and Aluminum Foil?

Lex: 

Oh yeah, it’s those assholes who also have cats named Ned and Root Beer.

Jordan: 

Yeah, I think I almost broke the guy at PetSmart when I was there because I was buying cat items for the house and it was relevant to the items how many cats were in the house. But this person made the, honestly, just unwise choice, I think, to start that conversation with “So, do you have one cat or two? Which, setting yourself up to fail, bud? And I said four and then it just went downhill from there.

Lex: 

Yeah. The looks that I’ve received when I’ve been like, yeah, there’s four cats in our household. People look at me like I’ve grown not just a second head but shortly thereafter also a third, it’s like a one two punch of like, oh wow. Oh, you have multi cat. Whoa, whoa, there’s four of them. But then I will remind people that two cats is a completely normal amount of cats for one person to have. And I just happen to live with another person 

Jordan:

Who also has two cats.

Lex:

Which is a perfectly normal amount of cats to have. And also we have a really big apartment with a lot of natural light.

Jordan:

We do. They have so much space. 

Lex:

We’re very intentional about playtime.

Jordan: 

We have so many toys. They have so much attention.

Lex: 

Too many perches, one might say. Too many places they like to get up to.

Jordan: 

They like to be tall. 

Lex:

They love to be tall, which, I get it.

Jordan: 

I also love to be tall.

Lex: 

Must be fucking nice. How’s the weather up there?

Jordan: 

Fuck you. 

Lex:

No, thank you.

Jordan: 

Well done. Played that uno reverse. I respect it. Anyways. What are we doing a podcast about today?

Lex: 

I think we’re really just reconvening to assess the calamity that was our last episode.

Jordan:

Calamity is a great word.

Lex: 

Slash, episodes. It’s one of my favorite words. 

Jordan

Episodes. Twofer. 

Lex:

Calamity. I think calamity, if we ever get, well, we are not getting any more cats. We’ve both talked about that. No more. Four’s the cap, I’m at my limit. Love them. This is max. This is the most I can give.

Jordan: 

I am gonna make a caveat to this and I doubt that it’s ever going to come into play. But if, for some reason in my life I ever end up divorced, I think that no matter how many cats I have at that point, I deserve one more.

Lex: 

Ok. Yeah.

Jordan:

If I have a set number of cats and I go through a divorce, I earned myself another cat spot.

Lex: 

Ok, because you lost a spouse. 

Jordan:

Yes. 

Lex:

So are you also presuming that you have to split the kids? 

Jordan: 

No, this is more of a filling an emotional need.

Lex: 

Ok. So the person who is your spouse just shit out of luck. Yeah. No. Cats, I’m very glad that that’s not our relationship because I’m like, ok, cool, cool, cool, cool. My cats, you can’t take them from me.

Jordan: 

I mean, if this person was coming into my life with their own cats, yeah, they could take their cats.

Lex: 

Yeah. I mean, then we’re going to have a whole other discussion because we’re gonna need to get a way bigger place. If either one of us brings home somebody who’s like, I have some more.

Jordan: 

The good news about this whole thing is I am 27 a half and I have four cats. So I don’t think that anyone’s going to try and marry me anytime soon.

Lex: 

Oh, you say that? Like you’re not sitting across from the person who’s turning 30 in three days and has four cats.

Jordan: 

I feel like by the time you get to 30 though, that’s less like-

Lex:

Oh, am I coming into my romancing the stone years? Am I going to be swept away into the jungles by some romance novel front cover?

Jordan:

Fabio-esque.

Lex: 

Fabio guy. Oh, you know what, I’ll take it.

Jordan: 

Yeah, that’s very like, I’ve decided what I want and people think that’s hot, I guess.

Lex: 

Ok. So, where are they?

Jordan: 

It’s like shaking the bag of cat treats out the window.

Lex: 

Where are they? I did tell my mom, I used my mom’s words against her because she has a theory that if people are cat people, specifically men that like cats, my mom’s theory is that they are almost always really decent people.

Jordan: 

It can be hit or miss. I know some guys who like cats who suck. But I don’t know a whole lot of guys who dislike cats who don’t suck.

Lex: 

Yeah, that was kind of confusing. Her theory is that if you have a cat, if you’re a cat person to the point where you have cats, that means that you are taking the time to learn about this animal’s behavior because it’s not quite the same as with a dog where everything sort of connects and clicks almost immediately. If you’re a cat person, it is that way, but you have to kind of watch, you have to be patient.

Jordan:

They keep their cards up their little paw sleeves.

Lex:

Yeah. I think in my mom’s theory, the backbone of the theory is that if you’re really into cats, you have to have a lot of empathy and patience, which generally go hand in hand with being a pretty decent person. So I did throw those words right back in my mom’s face when she was like, four cats? And I was like, listen, I have two and Jordan has two, but I have two cats. She was like, I don’t know. And I was like, listen, you know what you said about cat people, no guy is gonna look at me and be like, “Nice”, unless he’s a cat person. So it’s like a litmus test. And my mom was like, ok. What’s she gonna do? Disagree with her own theory? She can’t.

Jordan:

She can’t. Got him. 

Lex: 

Got him. So, anyways, sorry we’ve been gone for a little bit but also you’re welcome because now we’re back and presumably better.

Jordan: 

Yeah. I mean, you don’t have COVID anymore. So that’s an improvement. How you doing?

Lex: 

I’m good. I’m here. Ready to, you know what? Ok, a few things, everybody, just to recap. This is a podcast about ADHD. We will get to our primary topic. Two, we got new equipment. Sound good. Better. Yes, Yay. Ok. 

Jordan:

Hopefully. 

Lex:

C, C, you need to, ok, hold on.

Jordan: 

What are you trying to say? 

Lex:

I was just like, ok, my goal here was to give a brief recap/welcome/intro to this episode by explaining that one: we sound better because we took the time to get some better equipment and I should say Jordan took the time to set it all up. So nice work, Jordo. And then B, what was the second thing I said?

Jordan: 

Oh, I have no idea. 

Lex

Great. 

Jordan:

It was about the cats.

Lex: 

Oh, yeah. B, we got cats and that’s been really hectic and a lot. So, thanks for your patience there. Obvi, you’ve seen some pics on the gram. Oh, and that leads me to C. If you’re tuning in for this episode and this is your first episode, might I recommend that just to really let it sink in how much better this sounds right now. Go listen to our most recent episode before this one because it’s also relevant to what we’ll be talking about today. Because when I had COVID, we weren’t able to record together. So we recorded separately. It was quite stupid. We decided that we would try to guess what the other person would talk about for the topic of the episode. And we also decided we would try to guess what the other person’s Dopamine Trampoline was. Unsurprisingly, I failed. I sucked ass at that challenge. And also unsurprisingly, Jordan did really well and hit the nail on the head exactly about what my Dopamine Trampoline would be. So that was disconcerting to say the least.

Jordan: 

Well, ok, I think that that’s a little too much credit for me because I guessed three total things. I guessed what you were going to talk about for your topic and then I made two guesses as to what you were going to talk about for your Dopamine Trampoline. One of those guesses is right. But out of three guesses, that’s only a 33.3 repeating success rate.

Lex: 

Do you know what my success rate was?

Jordan: 

It was zero.

Lex: 

Yeah, so you fucking crushed me, bro. There’s no one else in the competition.

Jordan: 

We’re both failing this class though. It’s ok. We can go to detention together and have a little Breakfast Club moment.

Lex: 

Breakfast Club moment. Do some dancing in the hallway in the library, maybe smoke some weed.

Jordan: 

No. You can.

Lex: 

Yeah, I’ll wear my big oversized brown coat that makes it look like I might go try to flash some kids after school. I’m just saying, they’re this fully grown man who looks a little bit like he might hurt you and your kids. Yeah, he’s a teen.

Jordan: 

That did not go where I thought it was gonna go because you started talking about weed and you said I’ll go wear my coat and I thought you’re gonna wear your nugs coat. And I was like, that’s a really fun fresh gen Z repeat, modern update.

Lex: 

No, sorry, I was just taking a giant shit on, what is his name, Judd Nelson?

Jordan: 

Is that his name? I don’t know. I’ve never actually seen that movie beginning to end.

Lex:

Ok.

Jordan: 

I know, but you know that I have not seen very many movies. The first time that I saw Back to the Future was Thanksgiving this past year with your parents. So it’s not out of malice. It just doesn’t happen. So, yeah, if y’all want to dunk on me for not having seen that movie, or any other movies that I haven’t seen like, I don’t know, I’m thinking of that realm, so I’m thinking like Sixteen candles and Jurassic Park. I’ve never seen Jurassic Park. I’ve never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies. The list goes on and on.

Lex: 

Ok, well that’s fair. The actor, his name is John Nelson and he plays John Bender. 

Jordan:

That’s a name. 

Lex:

It sure is a name for the character who is, quote, described as a criminal. That’s his moniker. So anyways.

Jordan:

It’s a little on the nose. Don’t you think?

Lex:

So on the nose? But it’s fine.

Jordan: 

So we’re going to revisit that episode. Do we want to start with recapping what we did talk about?

Lex: 

Sure. Let’s do that.

Jordan: 

Actually, how about this? Because I relistened earlier this week and I took some notes. How about we start there?

Lex:

Great. Fucking asshole.

Jordan: 

No, no.

Lex: 

They were just sitting here looking at me tapping their fingers together.

Jordan: 

They’re positive notes.

Lex: 

I have some notes.

Jordan: 

No, no, they’re positive notes. For example, I really loved how you started off pretty close to the beginning of the episode, out of the gate. And we’re like, I think that Jordan’s education sections are really boring and I hate them. That part was really fun.

Lex: 

Jordan.

Jordan: 

I thought that that brought some real texture to the narrative. Some conflict, you know? Every story needs conflict. 

Lex:

Oh my God.

Jordan: 

Like right now the conflict is between-

Lex: 

Oh my God. Oh, sorry. So, yes, to the reporter in the back. We’ll answer your question. Did I say those things? Well, one only needs to listen to understand. Now, I’d like to focus on our initiative of revisiting Jordan’s half of the episode where Jordan specifically did note that they were going to talk about Shakespeare when I actively wouldn’t be able to tell them how much of a fucking nerd they are.

Jordan: 

I spared you from that. That was a favor.

Lex: 

Look, I love how you’re like, hey, you remember the part where you were really mean to me? And I’m like, yeah, move along. Let’s talk about the other part where I’m gonna be actively mean to you.

Jordan: 

I feel the love in the studio tonight.

Lex: 

Yeah, I know. I mean, I didn’t say Jordan’s education sections are boring. I just said the education station is a bit dry.

Jordan: 

So, you said my education sections are boring?

Lex: 

No, because that includes my education sections.

Jordan: 

Oh, ok. I see. I see. So my education sections suck, but when you do the same thing it’s really fun and cool.

Lex: 

No, both. It’s just dry, both times. I hate the education station net hole.

Jordan:

I think they actually call that a basketball hoop.

Lex: 

A net hole. Oh, my God. That reminds me. I rolled a nat 1 while playing D&D the other day. And a d20. And because it was an intelligence role and the character that I’m playing right now is minus one intelligence. 

Jordan:

Oh, no. 

Lex:

I did roll, in fact, you know, a zero because math, and Sean, friend of the podcast, was like, so what did you get? And I said it was net neutral, so like, zero? Yeah.

Jordan: 

Very diplomatic. The model UN is really shining through.

Lex: 

The model UN. I can’t fight it down, like growling monsters. I must write a white paper, 

Jordan:

It’s the full moon and you’re just eating pens. I don’t know.

Lex: 

Just burning a stack of resolutions 

Jordan:

Except it’s like the opposite of a werewolf, instead of when you come back to human the next day and the trope, you wake up and you’re naked and you’re like, where did my clothes go? And they’re in tatters, but you wake up and you’re in a skirt suit.

Lex: 

Yeah, like, my feet are sore. I’m wearing heels all day. My hair is a little worse for wear because it was straightened.

Jordan: 

That’s truly terrifying.

Lex: 

It’s fine. Let’s just say, I think it’s for the betterment of the world that I decided to not go into diplomacy. If the real world worked the way that things happen and a show like madam secretary then yeah, get me out there. I’ll shine in the role of lead diplomat of the United States. I can do it. But you know what it is actually is, it’s just a bunch of fucking idiots sitting around talking about things and writing papers that usually don’t actually amount to anything.

Jordan: 

I do want to say though, to your credit, I did appreciate the part where we both guessed two things for the other person’s DT. I feel like that was a win for both of us.

Lex: 

Yeah. Very oldest sibling and youngest sibling entitlement respectively. You know what I mean? I’m gonna do two guesses because who’s gonna stop me? Nobody, nobody.

Jordan: 

Nobody, nobody. We’re doing great over here, everybody. Thanks so much for asking. Anyways. And I do very much enjoy the tea book that you got me for Christmas. And I can’t wait to read more of it when I remember where I put it. 

Lex:

So fucking valid, bro.

Jordan: 

But the parts that I did read were delightful and it will be a future DT, I can assure you. So you guessed right if we are not taking temporal constraints into account.

Lex: 

Ok. Well, if we’re not taking temporal constraints into account, I’ve won everything. Do you have more notes?

Jordan: 

The farts.

Lex: 

What about them? I really have so much pity for whoever it just has been like, no, I’ll power through, I don’t need to listen to the other one before listening to this.

Jordan: 

That was farts.

Lex: 

Yeah. I didn’t even make that joke do very much work. I was just like, farts and then walked off stage. That’s what I did with my portion of the episode.

Jordan:

Classic for a reason, I suppose. 

Lex:

Yeah. No, I put so little effort into everything that I do.

Jordan: 

That’s the phrase, work smarter not harder. Yep, I feel like I was gonna come up with some facts of my own to dive back into that. So I thought of them and then I forgot them.

Lex: 

Yeah. Well, naturally.

Jordan: 

Yeah. So I’m gonna think of some more over the course of the rest of this episode and I’ll let you know when I come up with any. 

Lex:

I’ll try to give my most diplomatic answer for everything.

Jordan: 

Great. Fart gate.

Lex:

We have the mayoral elections coming up in Chicago so we’ve been doing a lot of election bullshitting at the office. So it’s top of mind for Brandon Johnson. If Bernie Sanders can endorse him. Or, Learn Parkour Chicago podcast endorses Brandon Johnson for mayor of Chicago 2023.

Jordan: 

We sure do. We’ll say that with our whole chest.

Lex: 

Please don’t elect. Please, look at him, look at them.

Jordan: 

It’s that or the guy who actively said he was honored by the Republican endorsement he received as an alleged Democrat.

Lex: 

Alleged Democrat. The funniest thing to me is that people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have a lot of supporters in Chicago, so it makes sense that they would speak out for their base, right? So I’m not questioning that. I understand why that happens, but we were talking about it at work today, we were kind of conjecturing, you know, or making some conjectures about how probably part of the reason that someone like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren don’t really have much to do with Chicago now. Neither of them live here. So like, whatever. But A, Brandon Johnson is one of the few progressive candidates who’s been really pulling and is also a former Chicago Teachers Union organizer. That should tell you really all you need to know. The man knows how to get shit done. Ok?

Jordan: 

The man knows how to work with some systems. The man respects union power, which you know how we feel about on this show.

Lex: 

You know, who else cares about worker’s rights? Just gonna say, shout out to governor JB. Thank you, Mr Pritzker. It’s so weird to be like, oh a billionaire doing something good. Ok. Mandatory paid leave for all workers. Yes. Yes, JB. 

Jordan:

All right. 

Lex:

I keep saying let’s get some BJ and JB, let’s go. But everyone at work was like, no, and I’m like, Ok, I understand why I can’t.

Jordan: 

But I love that energy. I’m partial to a PB&J myself, but I love all of that.

Lex: 

I got real upset for a second because I just was like, P? Paul Vallas? No, no, no, no. So anyways, sorry to derail.

Jordan:

It’s almost like we have ADHD. Sorry, y’all.

Lex: 

Yeah, so all that said, we sure both did talk about some things. You talked about what snacks that you can eat easily with ADHD. I have some that I can add to your list. Chips and guac. You know what I mean? Don’t go and get your avocados for the toast, right? Just go get some guac. Pay the ADHD tax. Don’t let those avocados go to your drawer in the fridge to die, Ok?

Jordan: 

Yeah. No.

Lex:

Just get the guac that’s premade, Ok? Just do it. Just do it and it’s gonna taste so good and you’re gonna have to put in zero effort. You open up a container, you open up the bag of chips and you go to town and that’s it.

Jordan: 

I’m also, I will say on that note, partial to a pineapple salsa situation.

Lex: 

Yes. Sorry, demon popped out there.

Jordan: 

I get it. Pineapple salsa just like, yeah. 

Lex:

Pineapple salsa, yummy. Pineapple salsa.

Jordan: 

So if you’re wondering why our episode title is all in [inaudible] text. We’re not actually going to do that, to be clear.

Lex: 

It’s incredibly inaccessible, yeah, but it’s funny in theory. 

Jordan:

That’s why I said it. 

Lex:

That’s why you said it.

Jordan: 

There we go. Joke’s done. We milked it. We’re doing all the mileage out of it.

Lex: 

We’re doing comedy.

Jordan: 

Thanks, Owen Wilson. 

Lex:

Sure.

Jordan: 

And that brings us right back to chips.

Lex: 

Happy to be here. Wow.

Jordan: 

Sorry, Mr Chills.

Lex: 

Sorry, Mr Marshmallow. Does that sound dirty? I’m sorry, how often have we quoted that YouTube video specifically on this podcast? I know not.

Jordan:

Probably a lot. 

Lex:

But Owen Wilson ASMR, I’ve never interacted with you at all, that content creator, but fucking hats off. Truly, hats off. 

Jordan:

Lifesaver. 

Lex

My tiny little butthole mouth. Ok, so.

Jordan: 

So do you have some other foods that you wanted to-

Lex: 

Shredded cheese. Preferably by the cool blue light of the moon and the nice warm but cold because the air, light of the fridge at 3 AM eating all of Jordan’s Tillamook. It’s good cheese.

Jordan: 

It’s good cheese. I wore my Tillamook hat today.

Lex: 

Sufjan Stevens sang about Tillamook, it’s gotta be good, right?

Jordan: 

Did he really? I didn’t know that. I don’t know songs.

Lex: 

I’m about to really reveal part of my hand here so buckle up. I’m gonna need everyone to shut the fuck up and listen. Sorry, that’s really aggressive. Love you, bro. You can talk if you want. But also please don’t because I want to say this.

Jordan:

Just say it, God.

Lex: 

So because it’s March and in March of 2015, a certain Sufjan Stevens album was released at a very formative time in my life and also a formative time for, I think, many people. Carrie and Lowell is an album, but because it came out in March, I usually end up listening to it around March or April. I’ve listened to it by myself driving on the highway along the Columbia, driving from Oregon to Idaho. That shit slapped so hard. I was sobbing, but it was so good. So healing. If you’re wondering, wait, Lex, your birthday’s coming up. Are you a Pisces? You seem to get a little weepy sometimes. Yeah. Yep. Sure do. So. Anyways, at work yesterday I decided it’s a good day or? Yeah, because it was yesterday, recording this on March 16th. So yesterday was the ides of March. And I said out loud to my coworkers, “Oh, hey, happy ides of March” as I walked into the office and I sat down and then proceeded to put on my big chunky headphones and start playing Sufjan Stevens, Carrie and Lowell from tip to toe. And there is a line about the Tillamook Burn. And, I want to say about-

Jordan:

Is that the pepper jack?

Lex:

Ok. I see what you did there.

Jordan: 

Oh, it took a second. But it was worth it. Also, I know we didn’t talk about this previously, but I think it is important to know that I did also start the morning by telling my coworkers happy ides of March and then had to explain what that was. I think they had an idea but were contextually bewildered like, is my coworker wishing me a happy the anniversary of the day that they stabbed Caesar? That doesn’t make sense. That can’t be what she’s saying.

Lex:

But it is.

Jordan: 

But it was, yes. So shout out to my coworkers and apologies.

Lex:

And here’s to thinking much better of our coworkers than any of those senators thought of Caesar. 

Jordan:

Truly. 

Lex:

So it’s in the song Fourth of July, arguably one of the most heart wrenching songs on the album. 

Jordan:

It is.

Lex:

But there’s a line about the Tillamook Burn of some year, time. I don’t know, I don’t really want to look up the lyrics. 

Jordan:

That’s fair.

Lex: 

But Sufjan Stevens has uttered the word Tillamook so I’m gonna just assume that Sufjan Stevens has also stood in front of his fridge by the light of the moon and ate some shredded Tillamook cheese.

Jordan:

As we all have and are all spiritually connected to our midnight cheese brethren. 

Lex:

If you live in the Pacific Northwest for even a month, I feel like Tillamook gets you that fast.

Jordan: 

Oh Yeah. To clarify for folks who are not from the west coast or on the west coast or familiar with this. Tillamook is a city in Oregon on the coast and they are famous for two things. One is the highest teen pregnancy rate in the US, I believe. One of my old coworkers here in Chicago actually was from Tillamook and would always mention that every time somebody brought up the other famous part of the city, which is the large, now nationally distributed, dairy company. They are most famous for their cheese because their cheese is incredible. It is my lifeblood and my heart’s deepest desire.

Lex: 

But can you remember the first time you ever tried Tillamook cheese?

Jordan: 

No, because I grew up on it.

Lex: 

That’s fair. I can remember the first time I tried it. 

Jordan:

Yeah? Tell me about it. 

Lex:

Well, I was, I want to say a junior, in high school because that was the year that I became besties with my high school friend Hannah, who was from Colorado but jumped around, had family in Washington, Utah, Alaska, and she was born in Nebraska, I think. Genuinely, her parents hopped around. So she and her brother grew up in lots of different places. But her grandparents, some of her grandparents lived in the Pacific Northwest at the time and they would send just logs of Tillamook cheese.

Jordan: 

Like the big 5lb square sided blocks?

Lex: 

Of cheddar. Yes, we would slice up just several slices of that cheddar. And then her mom got ham that she made from the farmer down the street. And it was the way my dad makes ham.

Jordan:

Your dad’s ham is really good. 

Lex:

I know, right. But when it’s cold and you can eat it just cold out of the container even though it was post party, whatever. So we just took a chunk of ham and a bunch of slices of Tillamook cheddar and we would go and sit in their basement and watch the weirdest fucking movies. Most of my cinematic tastes came from this high school friend in particular, I think. She’s the one who introduced me to Moulin Rouge, for example, which to be clear, I’m realizing now within the context of this greater discussion makes it sound like Moulin Rouge is very formative to my cinematic tastes. It’s not, but I’d be remiss to not mention it.

Jordan: 

I feel like it’s a hard movie to enjoy and have it have zero effect on your cinematic proclivities.

Lex: 

Exactly. Yeah. It’s just sort of like Baz Luhrmann, whether you want him in there or not, he’s kind of in your psyche once you see it. But she’s also the person who introduced me to the movie Perfume about the serial killer in France way back in the day. It’s a very creepy story. I don’t think it’s based on a true story. I think it’s a myth though. A French myth. Anyways, we should watch it sometime. It’s horrifying.

Jordan: 

Great. But anyways, I love that Tillamook journey for you. Cold ham, also great ADHD snack. Also a good band name, I want to say.

Lex:

Cold ham?

Jordan:

Yeah. 

Lex:

I feel like someone’s probably already gotten that one. 

Jordan:

Probably. 

Lex:

That’s like earlier we were talking about my outfit at work for my birthday party and it’s going to be Monochromatic when we’re all red. And one of my co-workers, she was like, oh, I love a monochrome look and I was like, we love the Monochromatics. And another coworker jumps in and was like, Monochromatics would be a good band name. It’s probably already a band name.

Jordan: 

Did you look it up? Was it a band name? 

Lex:

No. I don’t know.

Jordan:

Opening Spotify now. There appear to be multiple bands called The Monochromatics.

Lex: 

So it must be a good name for a band. Are you looking up Cold Ham?

Jordan: 

I sure am.

Lex:

Ok.

Jordan: 

Oh, no Cold Ham.

Lex: 

Ok. 

Jordan:

There’s Cold Fame. That’s the closest thing that pulled up. But Cold Ham is fair game.

Lex: 

Ok. For those of you out there who really want a band, Cold Ham’s available. 

Jordan:

If you want what the fuck is up, Denny’s energy but leftovers, Cold Ham.

Lex: 

Well, yeah. So you talked about food you can eat. That’s easy to eat when you have ADHD. My contribution. Shredded cheese, which I think, didn’t you talk about shredded cheese? If you didn’t talk about shredded cheese, you talked about it in spirit. I know that you too eat shredded cheese.

Jordan: 

There is a Tik Tok about eating shredded cheese. So I have discussed it, but maybe not in the podcast.

Lex: 

Yes, that’s what I’m thinking of probably. Our whole life is just content creation now it sometimes seems. It’s fine. It’s great.

Jordan: 

Well, that specific TikTok, I don’t go out of my way to make them on my personal account. But that was an audition because they asked for an audition video. And it was a monologue that I wrote for the Neos class that was inspired by other TikToks. So I was like, this seems like the appropriate way to do it. It was shredded cheese eating ASMR. 

Lex:

Oh, yes. 

Jordan:

Uh-huh. The equally horrifying thing about it is I did in fact get into that show.

Lex: 

Yeah, you did 

Jordan:

I understudied half of it. 

Lex:

You understudied half the show. 

Jordan:

I did. So that’s another reason why we’ve been a little quiet over the last month.

Lex: 

We’ve had a lot going on, as we always do, but respectfully to all our fans, this is not normally our highest priority thing because making sure that we’re alive and making enough money to keep our actual literal lights on and taking care of our four cats.

Jordan: 

I would say this is definitely high on the non survival priorities.

Lex:

Yes. High on the non survival priorities.

Jordan:

But we all know that the survival priorities list is a beast. So everyone out there who is working on your survival priority list, godspeed. We love you. Thanks for hanging in there and hanging out with us. We do have episodes with actual topics coming up so please stay tuned for them.

Lex: 

Yeah, we do. I figured we’d sort of talk this one away. 

Jordan:

Yeah.

Lex:

It’s kind of how it goes. And also we talked about some more snacks. Great. And if you’re that fucking stubborn and you did not want to go listen to the episode, I believe what I said was that humans with ADHD, their farts are at a higher and/or lower decibel than the human ear can hear. And it can only be heard by dogs.

Jordan: 

I think you also said that ADHD farts cure cancer at one point.

Lex:

Did I?

Jordan: 

Yeah.

Lex: 

No comment. Ok. Well, that’s all for today. God bless America. Thank you. Goodbye.

Jordan: 

No, no, I was gonna throw an ADHD fact into the ring. 

Lex:

Hit me. 

Jordan

That I totally thought of before now. Did you know that people with ADHD are smooth like a shark?

Lex: 

Like a shark? Sharks aren’t actually smooth though. 

Jordan:

Actually they are.

Lex:

Or is it dolphins that aren’t smooth?

Jordan: 

No, sharks are smooth as hell.

Lex: 

I see. I remember this bit.

Jordan: 

I’m so sorry.

Lex:

No, it’s ok. Here’s the thing. Two wolves inside me, one is autistic and one has ADHD and the autistic wolf was like, that’s factually false. You’re just gonna let her say it? You’re just gonna let her say it? You’re not even gonna begin to correct her?

Jordan: 

No, I can find plenty of places on the internet that say that sharks are smooth.

Lex:

Well and then ADHD me, that little wolf was like, motherfucker, it’s a bit, calm down. There’s like a whole internet post about it.

Jordan: 

It’s so dumb. It’s so overdone. 

Lex:

It’s so funny.

Jordan: 

It’s never not funny. 

Lex:

It’s never not funny, but my apologies for the journey.

Jordan:

No, that was authentic. Do not apologize for that.

Lex: 

I think there’s an in between here, right, where the two wolves came together for a second to try and like, ok, well, maybe we’ll logic our way. So I trust this person pretty inherently sitting across from me. So they’re saying it with a lot of confidence. So I think I should just trust what they’re saying. Right? 

Jordan:

And then they kiss.

Lex:

Yeah, the wolves inside me, they’re just getting it on right now. Actually, if I shut my eyes, it’s like a little curtain comes down like in a cartoon.

Jordan: 

Oh God. 

Lex:

And if you pull on the little blinds it’ll make my eyes roll back up and be open even though I’ll be dead asleep. So they will be able to rob me, set an anvil up above my bed.

Jordan: 

That’s super helpful for cartoon shenanigans. Well, I was going to say heist shenanigans, where they get your retina to break into the safe room that only you have access to.

Lex: 

Yeah. Yeah. I will be honest. I hope to God, I never have that level of access, or responsibility, to that sort of, any information that’s sensitive enough to be protected that way, I shouldn’t have access to it.

Jordan: 

Oh, yeah, no. 

Lex:

I don’t care if it’s retina protected, I shouldn’t have access to it.

Jordan: 

I’m going to blanket say right now to the entire internet and everybody who hears this, if I ever have enough money to afford a security system like that and have anything worth enough to require a security system like that in today’s dollars, you know, if they’re like CDs are now as opposed to 30 years ago and that’s like 75 cents comparatively because the technology becomes cheaper. 

Lex:

Ok. Hello?

Jordan: 

Let’s say if I have that much money and it’s not flowing as fast as it can into solving world hunger, curing cancer, it is the morally correct thing to do to rob me.

Lex: 

Yeah. Yeah, same, same. I just meant for that level of a position.

Jordan: 

Oh, yeah. No, I heard what you were saying, you just don’t want to be responsible for anything that needs that much protection and that is also so valid.

Lex: 

No one’s gonna put me in charge of the alien committee at the FBI. Do you know what I mean? Because you’d be like, she’s gonna squeal on day two.

Jordan: 

Maybe in the alternate universe where you did go into diplomacy though.

Lex: 

I think I’d be a great alien diplomat. The only reason that I am saying this is because we are truly just little idiot, dumb-dumbs at the hands of our technology overlords. So I’m just gonna say it once and then never again. Ok. WatermElon Musk, I hate you so much. However, if you continue to be this prevalent and you continue on with your space exploration, your SpaceX exploration and you meet aliens and you are all of a sudden like, shit, I need an actual anthropologist to work on which, I don’t think you have the foresight or the empathy for.

Jordan:

No, that would never occur.

Lex: 

So that’s why I’m saying it now. For the better of all humankind, please let me, an actual bona fide anthropologist, Ok? Cultural anthropologist at that, trained in diplomacy. Let me talk to them. Please.

Jordan: 

Please don’t talk to them first.

Lex: 

Please don’t talk to them first or if you talk to them first, well, I don’t even have to ask, make a huge ass of yourself enough.

Jordan:

That they’ll kill you with lasers

Lex:

Maybe that.

Jordan:

Wink. 

Lex:

But also, you do a really bad job and then you have me on hand to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ok. Hold on. Yeah. What an ass hat, right? Well, hold on, hold on. I mean, you’ve seen this, I do this in D&D all the time. I love playing a character that’ll just slide right in and be like, listen, listen, you see these chuckle fucks over here, ignore them. Look at me. No, not them, me. Look at me. 

Jordan:

You’re very good at it.

Lex: 

I’m very good at it. Do you remember when me and several of our friends came to see you perform as an understudy in this show recently and we’re all standing in a circle after the performance and we’re clapping because you come out and we’re all clapping for you because you’ve done such a good job and people start to trail off and stop clapping. And for context, moments before Jordan walked up, I said something to the effect of it’s really unnerving actually because people will just do what I say. I just say things with enough authority and confidence that people will just do it. And then just not even a full minute later, Jordan comes over, we’re all clapping. We’re standing in a circle. We’re all like, oh yeah, good job, good job. People start to trail off and I say no, no, don’t stop. Keep clapping. Keep clapping. We’re still applauding, Jordan. And everyone, I shit you not, picks their little hands back up, starts clapping.

Jordan: 

I love you so much. You’re the fucking worst.

Lex:

And audibly. I said, what are you doing? I just said that everyone just does what I say, they just do it without questioning it. And to be fair, one of our friends was like, well, it’s the charisma and I’m like, ok, you got me there, you got me there. But also, I’m the fucking worst. 

Jordan:

I love you so much, bro. 

Lex:

Let me talk to the aliens. WatermElon. It’s his full name.

Jordan: 

Yeah. Get killed with lasers first, optimally, and then let Lex talk to the aliens. Yeah.

Lex: 

Yeah. Whatever works. Oh God. It is nine. We’re gonna have to go back to two hour long episodes. Just got too excited to talk to the fancy microphone. I don’t know, he just couldn’t stop. It just kept going, let me talk to the aliens and it just didn’t fucking stop bla bla bla and now it’s time for the Dopamine Trampoline. Here we go.

Jordan: 

Great segue. Thank you so much.

Lex: 

That’s what the show feels like to me when I get bored and put it on my time scheme. Yeah, or that too. Yeah. I listen to our podcast when I’m listening back. Not when I’m editing, when I’m editing, I listen at speed. But when I’m listening to the podcast, like when I relisten to this episode to prep for the one we’re recording currently, I did play it at 2.5 speed. Yeah, because if I don’t do it at that speed, my brain starts to melt.

Jordan: 

Yep. Yep. So valid.

Lex: 

Yeah. But that’s what it feels like every time we get to it. Because every education station starts out with me being like, oh, ok, interesting. And by the end, and this is the way it’s always worked in school too, by the end, I’m like, someone let me out that it just sounds like [inaudible]. And then it’s like, hey, what’s your Dopamine Trampoline? And I come alive again.

Jordan: 

I’m so excited for the next time we do an education station to just see how much shit I can say when you’re not paying attention.

Lex: 

Yeah. 

Jordan:

Can’t wait.

Lex: 

You could say so much. It’s gonna be great.

Jordan: 

It will be good. Let’s do our Dopamine Trampoline. We’re back in the saddle. But you already did horses for your last one. 

Lex:

Shut the fuck up.

Jordan:

So what’s your Dopamine Trampoline this time?

Lex: 

Go fuck yourself, man. I just really like those little blonde horses.

Jordan: 

You never sent me pictures of horses to share, by the way.

Lex: 

Whoopsie. That’s my bad. We got two more cats. I’m sorry.

Jordan: 

We will definitely share more pictures of those. We both have plenty of pictures of those. I definitely did show that picture of Petey behind your boot that you sent to me the other day to the person who works at the shop that I bought that incense at.

Lex: 

Yes. Good. 

Jordan:

And they were like, oh my God, she’s so precious.

Lex: 

She’s so small. It’s really comical. Root Beer is the biggest cat I’ve ever seen in my entire fucking life.

Jordan: 

And Petey is tiny. She’s so low. I can pick her up with her whole chest and her front paws in my hand and her little tiny butt sits in my elbow. She’s so little.

Lex: 

She’s pretty chill. With that, I mean. She’s not chill. She’s a fucking menace. She’s a little monster.

Jordan: 

Real quick though, before we continue into that, I do want to give a shout out to the person at Milk who I bought the incense from because they did have a sticker on their water bottle with a blue pen, looked like illustration of a hot dog. And it said “hort dorg”.

Lex:

Good. Beautiful. Ort.

Jordan: 

I know, God. And I complimented it and they were very kind and we were like, oh my gosh, let me look up the artist for you and they did and I forgot the artist’s name, otherwise I would tell everybody but hort dorg. Hort dorg. That’s actually my Dopamine Trampoline, so. 

Lex:

That was so good. 

Jordan:

Take it away.

Lex: 

Thank you. My Dopamine Trampoline is lava lamps. Yeah.

Jordan: 

Lava lamps?

Lex: 

Lava lamps. I just got one in the mail today. It’s my first ever lava lamp.

Jordan: 

Really? Oh my gosh. I didn’t know that. I knew about the lava lamp because I’ve seen and it’s great, but I didn’t know that it’s your first one. Congratulations.

Lex: 

Yeah. So you know how, when you sell chocolates as a little kid for school or whatever organization, whatever, whatever, any sort of fundraiser or a book fair or when you get the scholastic catalog books.

Jordan: 

Oh, yeah. Oh, I remember those.

Lex:

And then you turn back to the back couple of pages where you got into the teen, older kid prizes because that was usually the kids who could sell that many chocolates or fundraise or whatever. And near the top was lava lamp. And I remember wanting lava lamp so bad. But I lived in a small town and just a rural area and a small neighborhood that it was just not possible for that to work and I just never really got around to it and then I turn 30 soon. So I’m having a bit of a, I wouldn’t say a crisis of identity but just sort of, you know, doing some reflecting as one does when nearing their birthday.

Jordan:

As you do.

Lex: 

So I did decide, you know, fuck it. I’ve never actually had a lava lamp, but I still just want one. It’s a desire that’s been in me my entire life basically. Why not fulfill it? And so I found one and I ordered one and now I have it and it’s got orange goop in it and it’s on currently so that when we’re done recording I can go stare at it again. 

Jordan:

Hell yes. 

Lex:

Yeah. If you’re unfamiliar, which I don’t know, I’m only gonna give the loose facts on this because it’s a lava lamp. Most people know about the lava lamps. They are these rocket shaped lamps, like a tapered glass situation where it’s full of all of these different chemicals that can emulsify together or some shit. I don’t really understand the chemistry behind it, but it does cool shit and makes a little wax heat up into little globs and move like lava and it’s very fun and cool.

Jordan: 

Did you know, actually inside a lava lamp, if you open it up and you drink the lava, you’ll die.

Lex: 

Yeah. Yeah. There’s a big tag that says do not open. Do not drink. It’s big red letters on top of the lid. I’m not even kidding.

Jordan: 

Amazing. 

Lex:

Yeah, I will say the ingredient that they first used, the guy who invented this was a guy named Edward Craven Walker.

Jordan:

What a name. I would buy anything from that guy. 

Lex:

Same, right? Edward Craven Walker.

Jordan: 

It’s a really incredible mix of fascinating old worldliness with Craven and then good old fashioned American Walker. That guy is an entrepreneur. That guy is an up and comer.

Lex: 

That guy is walking into the conference room snapping. And so this man, he created this lamp, basically, that’s standardly an incandescent halogen lamp that heats a tall tapered glass container full of all these different goops and wax and as it heats up, it causes the bubbles to start moving.

Jordan: 

Yeah, basically, the paraffin is heavier and so it’s on the bottom where the bulb is and it heats it up which makes it rise to the top and then because it’s on the top and it’s away from the lamp, it cools down and it goes back down. Yeah, ok.

Lex: 

Yeah, essentially. And then there’s also just a special mix of chemicals to make sure that things don’t emulsify too much because if they mix together too much, the wax can make the outside liquid mix in too well and make it blurry or cloudy. So that’s something to watch out for, I suppose. I mean, lava lamps were a staple of the late sixties and seventies, very commonly associated with the hippie and stoner cultures of the past couple of decades.

Jordan:

Very groovy.

Lex:

Very groovy. And so I’m just really excited to join a longstanding tradition of cool bubble lamp type things, which is not to be confused with an actual bubble lamp, which is those old nineties lamps, usually saw them in the stores with lava lamps and the little static balls. It’s just a lamp but with some, it’s got water in it, it’s got little bubbles and I feel like you’re gonna look at it and it, I don’t know, because we had very different childhoods in some ways. But for me looking at it, it was like unlocking a memory that I had completely forgotten about bubble lamps because I feel like they weren’t that popular because they weren’t that cool.

Jordan: 

Yeah, I was gonna say I remember the other two. I had one of the static balls.

Lex: 

Yeah, my brother had one too.

Jordan: 

Broke it, but I’ve never seen these before.

Lex: 

Oh, ok, yeah. Not super surprised because, again, we had very different childhoods, but I had two siblings who were way older than me. So they were teens when I was a small little wee lass. And so, you know, I saw my siblings up to no good with their cool lamps and shit like that. And I was never allowed to play with or look at the lava lamps because they’re not really safe for kids because they’re really hot. And the original lava lamps for a while, one of the chemicals was super toxic and after the first year of toxic lava lamps they stopped making them because the US was like, wait, hold on, no, stop making things with that chemical. Oh, no, no, no. And now it’s, quote, a secret. 

Jordan:

What? 

Lex:

Yeah, whatever’s in there now is, quote, a trade secret.

Jordan: 

That’s bonkers. I didn’t know that.

Lex: 

Yeah. That part threw me for a loop too.

Jordan: 

What?

Lex: 

Yeah.

Jordan:

It’s like glitter.

Lex: 

Yeah, it’s kind of fun, right?

Jordan: 

You know how that interview that came out about interviewing the glitter companies and they were all like, oh, yeah, there’s one industry that buys most of the glitter that we make and we cannot tell you what it is. Did you ever read about that?

Lex: 

I feel like you told me about it.

Jordan: 

It was wild. It’s glitter. Where would you not notice it? You know what it is? Boats. It’s boat paint.

Lex: 

That tracks. So yeah, lava lamps.

Jordan:

Sorry. Anyways. Yeah. Lava lamp. That’s so bonkers. It could be anything. 

Lex:

It could be anything. 

Jordan:

What if it’s one specific person with some weird genetic anomalies like ear wax.

Lex: 

Gross. But then you know, if that’s the case, thank you for providing millions of people with quiet delight. I literally was like, hey, let’s record, I’m ready, and then Jordan a couple of minutes later was like, ok, and looks over and I’m just sitting on my bed just staring silently at the lava lamp. 

Jordan:

They’re captivating.

Lex:

They’re captivating. And again, I just got it and put it together today so I was like, ooh.

Jordan: 

So I also do love and want to make sure that we mentioned that maybe not even 10 minutes earlier I walked by your room and Root Beer was doing that too. Just staring at it. It was very cute.

Lex: 

She’s so cute. She’s my little baby. 

Jordan:

Yeah. Well, great. So happy for you and I’m so excited to also get to look at the lava lamp because it’s in our house that we live in together. And, yeah, thanks to everybody for sticking with us this episode. Don’t drink a lava lamp.

Lex: 

Don’t drink a lava lamp. Do drink water.

Jordan: 

Yes. Yes. That’s always great advice. Cool beans. Do we want to close this one out?

Lex: 

Yeah. Let’s, let’s get out of here. Let’s go hydrate.

Lex: 

I’m Lex. 

Jordan:

And relax. Great. Before we go, if you could drink a lava lamp and not die, what would you want it to taste like? Like what, spiritually, do you think a lava lamp tastes like?

Lex: 

I’m really sorry. All I could think, all that popped in my head was tastes like strawberries on a summer evening.

Jordan: 

Yeah. I think that’s a really valid flavor for a lava lamp. Is that what that song is actually about?

Lex: 

Watermelon Sugar is about eating a lava lamp. Shit. Yeah, I think like actual watermelon juicy taste. Yeah. And strawberry, like a fruit medley.

Jordan: 

Ok. 

Lex:

But I feel like it would depend on the color of lava that I’m eating.

Jordan: 

Yeah, that’s fair. Yours is orange, right? Would that one be orange flavored or?

Lex: 

I feel like it maybe would taste like fanta.

Jordan: 

Yeah, I feel that. I was gonna say- 

Lex:

Like British Fanta that has actual orange flavor in it. It’s not just orange dye.

Jordan:

Sure. Tastes like the fruit orange, not the color orange. Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say like a mango pudding bubble tea situation, which sounds really good right now, actually. So let’s end this episode and get something to drink. All right. This is been Or, Learn Parkour. We’ll see you in two weeks.

Lex:

Bye.
