S1E19 - FULL CHAOS MODE

Oh, did you just not record? And I don't have yours because I wasn't running a. Like, we weren't. We weren't. Okay, we're going to do an ultra short episode. Can you run Audacity real quick? That's okay. Like this? Oh, yeah.

Okay, now I am actually recording.

We're in chaos mode. This is like the shakedown run for things. Okay. Okay. So, audience members, you've just joined us. The answer is that like 15 minutes ago, Jack and I started recording the episode and it's in chaos mode. I'm not at home. I'm in a park. I'm sitting in my car at a park looking at grass.

Yeah, Scott's in his car.

We're using a different recording session setup than we normally do. And we recorded like 15 minutes worth of episode. And then at the end of it, Jack was like, I was supposed to be recording. Oh, shit. And so now we're doing. We're not gonna do the whole. Now we're doing an ultra short version. So the. Just so that we have something.

You're getting a fucking five minute episode of Unlocked Doors.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So. Okay, Speedrun. Welcome to beyond the Locked Doors, a podcast that is actually just a trick to make us work on our stuff even when we don't work on our stuff. Jack, what's your update? No, no progress, right?

Yeah, no progress. Sam and I are both busy. No progress. That's the update.

Similarly, I took like a week and a half off. Like, if you'll remember, last episode, I was down and feeling bad, so I just, like, left. Just walked into the woods for a week and a half and didn't do anything with regards to the project. I just did, like, I made stuff. Like, I went and made, like, organizational stuff for my office and, like, worked on the house and stuff. And then I came back.

It looks sick. By the way, listeners, if you haven't seen photos of the setup, it's so cool. It's very, like, mass effect loadout room looking. It's dope.

Yeah, yeah, it's. Man. There is something to be said for making physical objects, because when you're done, you have a thing. You could be like, hey, look, I made this thing.

I made this.

Yeah, it's a physical object I can hold. So I did. But anyway, I started back in on Monday. I've made very little progress because I've been out of the groove. But as we discussed previously in the now lost section of this episode, the watchword of.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, no. Do not apologize. We're in max chaos mode. It's fine. But the watchword of episode four is this is going to be a fun one. I'm going to. I'm going to have fun if it kills me. We're going to have drug trips. I won't.

Drugs. Yay.

We talked about the spirit of Adventure and Donald Duffy, Magic Land and Ted Lasso, and that's the. That's where I want to do something that makes me hoot and holler as much as that episode of Ted Lasso made me hoot and holler. So I will have fun. I will. I will. I still cannot remember. We talked the whole thing about werewolves and psychedelic fungus, and I still can't remember the name of the psychedelic, the.

Hallucinogenic wheat fungus, whatever it's called.

Ergot. Ergot or Ergo or something like that.

You remember.

Did remember. Finally. Not to be confused with people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony, which is egot. Different thing. This is ergot.

Oh, okay, sure.

I'll tell the story again real quick. In Central Europe, the primary form of wheat is rye that can get a fungal infection called ergot, which. It's poisonous. Do not eat it. But it has apparently some psychedelic effects. And so people would sometimes eat bread made out of this stuff that had been infected with this fungus, and they would get high and they would think they'd turned into a demon or a beast or a werewolf. And that is the. One of the proposed origins of the werewolf myth in Central Europe, which survives to this day. So I'm now going to. I'm going to be. That's a fun fact that I'm going to be incorporating into this next episode, and I'm going to have fun if it kills me. And then Sam and Jack, you were. Since Sam's not here, by the way, we didn't even mention that.

Oh, yeah, yeah. By the way, Sam's not here, but.

And since y'all have made little progress, your goals are just to do that again, right? To, like, actually do the thing that you said you were gonna do this time. Yeah.

Like, my goal is to actually talk to Sam and figure out episode one, but, you know, no real pressure because I think Sam started a new job and other shit's going on, so, you know, we'll do our best.

Yeah. This is, like, not, like. No pressure. No pressure. Okay. And then I am gonna. I'm gonna continue to work on episode four, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna do things that make me happy and make me excited to work on it.

Yes.

So drug trips and fun, flirty, sexy sparring session, I think is actually the very next thing. So that'll be fun. Yay.

Oh, my God, I love sexy sparring. Let's go.

So that'll be fun. Okay, in that case, we'll see you guys in two weeks. And hopefully, actually with a normal, like, we'll do it more productively this next time, because instead of full chaos mode, I don't know. Yeah, maybe full chaos mode forever. Maybe we're just full chaos mode from now until the end of eternity. And that's fine, too. That's also good.

Yeah. Like, for all time. For my whole living life.

Okay. All right, bye.

That's fine. Bye.
