190: The Boobiest of Boobytraps [Tao Te Ching Ch.31]

Hello, and welcome.

Hello, I guess.

I'm Artemis Nehi, and I'm here with my brother Bartleby.

And we're the Kinetic Paranormal Society, a pair of socks in a magic wardrobe, traveling through time and space, investigating the supernatural.

Bartleby, where's your usual pizzazz? You should say it like you mean it.

I don't know, Artemis, maybe I don't mean it.

Oh, come on now, I know you mean it more

than that.

You're listening to Metacosmos.

And honestly, Artemis, are they listening to Metacosmos? Is that what this even is anymore? Or has this show just been completely hijacked by your Tao Te Ching segment?

Oh, no, my Doubt-Aging segment is only half the show still.

You still have your role-playing, choose-your-own-topic podcast adventure game.

Yeah, I guess so, but I like it when Metacosmos explores big, broad ideas, sometimes kind of current events, or big, broad ideas that kind of can connect to current events, but, like, elusively.

But I don't get to do any of that right now because I've got to do a podcast about the Dowdy Ching.

Bartleby, we've done 30 chapters already.

We are more than one third through the book.

It's not my fault that your segments were going too long and our producer had them cancelled.

That was completely on you.

And honestly, I think this little introduction is already running too long.

That's why your segment got cancelled to begin with.

Fine, fine.

Okay, let's first do our role-playing choose-your-own-topic podcast adventure game.

But we really have to make it count this week.

Mmm, I prefer it when it's brief, but...

Do your

best,

fine.
