[00:01:44] The first third of The sequel to the Soul Queen's Promise Cause I wrote my work First like Draft of that section And I didn't like it Like it felt really empty Yeah And I think it's cause I'm not as depressed as I was When I wrote the first one The first one did not make me sad It wasn't supposed to make people sad But like A lot of times When I'm really depressed Or things like that Like
[00:02:14] That's when I do some of my best writing Or when I write the most Cause it's just like I'm channeling that into writing And sometimes if I'm not Then it's really hard to write things So what you're saying is I should not make you as happy That's not what I'm saying at all It sounds Chat Does it sound like that's what she's saying? Cause that's the message that I'm getting I don't know why women are so ambiguous about this You just give me left and right Alright Now she told me

[00:04:13] Because I had a thought Wyverns suck dick Yeah That's a good one We always gotta go dragon instead There's nothing wrong with wyverns I mean compared to a dragon You tell me you like wyverns more than dragons Is this how we find out We're not compatible No dragons have always been my favorite Well then I don't know why you're getting upset right now Okay Are you just trying to write better What's going on I don't I'm never talking to you again

Treadmill No it's a little slower M-I-L-L I know how it's spelled Pronunciation wise though Treadmill Mill Mill Like a mill A treadmill Mill Yeah We're not milling meal Mill Mill One of those wasn't right
[00:06:42] The olive mill Oil Welcome back to Mindless Prattle We already did that We didn't say the No we didn't say the name and all that stuff All we said was What episode number it is Look if you click on something That says episode 180 And you're like Huh I don't know what this is But you're at the wrong point Alright Like you listen to this episode Then go back to episode one
[00:07:10] I actually started a podcast A while ago And it kind of Without me? Shut up You know what I I disagree with what I just said So If you start at 180 You should just work your way backwards Like start at 179 And then 78 You know what I mean? Because I Listened to this podcast I listened to one episode I forget the name of it And you'll understand why in a moment So I Listened to it And it was about Like Nordic folklore
[00:07:40] Right? And I listened to this episode And it was really good And I was like Okay Well I'd like to start Like at the beginning And then catch up You know? So then I went to the beginning And the audio quality was so terrible That I was like Nah I can't do this And I haven't listened to them since So like If you like what you're Listening to now You should go back Several episodes Maybe to season like Two But season one And like half of season two
[00:08:09] Not so good quality Like the words are there Right? They've got good words Them people But The quality of the sound Itself Not so good So You know Listen to your own risk Or don't I don't care You know what I missed the sound of? The ocean boiling peanuts I combine two things I don't know I was gonna say The wonderful voice of Andrew Green But Who?
[00:08:39] You don't remember Andrew Green? No So I used You remember When I used to have That app subscription To the Like ASMR Slash deep Oh The green waves Sleep Sleep hypnosis stuff Yeah The man in my bed Andrew Green The other man in my bed Listen I don't know if he was a real person I think he was I don't think it was like an AI or something But if you're out there Andrew Green
[00:09:10] Please put some shit up on like Spotify or something Your voice makes it so easy to fall asleep And then I like listen to other ones that I find on YouTube for free You know some people would be insulted with that Your voice makes it easy to fall asleep too And see I'm one of those people I enjoy your voice so much My brain turns off when I hear it No like You just It's like a relaxing tone of voice Yeah There's a burglar But So relaxed Yeah
[00:09:42] His sleep hypnosis videos on the app I used to use really helped me when I had some real bad insomnia Get in the closet And now I watch ASMR artists on TikTok and YouTube And then Jordan's like why are there just people flashing lights as bright as possible In the middle of the night like what are you doing over there Yeah cause I'll like be on my side facing the other direction And just see flashing lights up on the ceiling
[00:10:11] Like it's a fucking rave Turn over and see you just blinding yourself with it Eyes closed I'm like are you trying to see God in your sleep? What's happening here? Why are you like night seizure? I don't know No it's um They're called light triggers For some people bright lights are relaxing And I'm one of those freaks apparently Incorrect Which is funny Cause I hate sleeping in anything but darkness
[00:10:41] If you wake up or At any point in the first like hour of you waking up If I turn on a bright light You get so irritated So I don't No you remember when we first moved here And I would get so mad Cause there's that fucking like security spotlight Out there at the other building That would shine through our door Or through our window into the bedroom No I was so mad cause I couldn't fall asleep Okay now hold on now Before we go the rest of the way This is what happens
[00:11:09] She sleeps on the side of the bed closer to the window Right We sleep in the same bed For what a month and a half Two months Before she finally rolls over And tells me I can't fall asleep That light is too bright And I'm looking around going What light Like all the lights are off She goes no it's shining through the blinds outside And I roll over to her side of the bed See the bright light coming through the blinds
[00:11:38] And then I go Why don't we just turn the blinds the other way So it blocks downward instead of upward And she goes what do you mean? And I walk over And just twist the fucking blinds And she goes What? I can't see it anymore And I'm like yeah What do you mean? I was like a month and a half You just haven't been sleeping And didn't want to change the direction of the blinds She was like oh my god We're gonna have to switch sides of the bed
[00:12:07] We might have to move the bed I'm like what is this problem you're having right now? I don't understand I'm always solving a problem Like six problems ahead in the future That's not even a problem yet And he's like Why don't we just focus on what's in front of us? Okay Six half finished things behind me I'll close the blinds Have you tried that? Of course I've closed the blinds Have you tried unplugging and plugging the ethernet cable back in?
[00:12:37] I'm like you told that story I was messing around under my desk With tons of cables Because I'm terrible at cable management And I go off Do something I come back Ripley goes Hey Did you unplug the internet? I was like no I didn't say it like that She don't know how internet works I know how internet works Yeah Fairies and goblins And I was like no why She said
[00:13:05] The ethernet's not working on my computer Did you unplug it? No Try unplugging it Okay Now what? Like plug it back in Okay Click It's working Alright that's good I don't know what it is Cause like I'm so intelligent And then like You're here for me And it's like It's only cause you're happy
[00:13:33] That's what we've determined Like if you were unhappy You'd have ripped it out And shoved it back in And then it would have worked But since you were happy You're like Need a man to solve this I don't know It's like I love that one quote From the Queen Charlotte The Bridgerton prequel Where They're like Oh we need names Woman Give us names And she's like I am a woman I do not know names I do not know names I live inside
[00:14:04] I need more Nespresso Yeah I'm surprised You just jumped right Into it on there What do you mean? Like normally Like caffeine takes A minute right? Mmhmm Did you like Biscuits? Why? Alright well that didn't Answer my question But Yes What kind of biscuits? I saw I found this dude today Right Okay And he's super cute And
[00:14:37] There we go And It's called The biscuit box kite spider Okay It's an orb weaver But the Excuse you But the Back of Every time man The back of the spider Is flat And looks like a biscuit And he's super cute Look at it I don't know if you can see this Hang on
[00:15:06] See this little spider He's super cool Little bauxite spider Oh man I gotta charge my phone But But I thought he was so cool And it's an orb weaver And I'm like That's crazy small To be an orb weaver I love orb weavers Like they're such cool spiders Which one's your favorite? You can't say mine Golden orb weaver You just picked the generic one You don't even know What are the other ones? What's yours? Name all the orb weavers True fans would know
[00:15:40] I had somebody do that at work A few months ago Before I quit You know Name all the orb weavers? That's pretty impressive I'm just saying No That would be very impressive Random aside This is why me And a lot of other people Think Taylor Swift is autistic That woman can name So many breeds of cat Off the top of her head I gotta show you The video later But It's actually
[00:16:09] A little crazy How many breeds Of cats are there? A lot Well I mean That didn't really Tell me anything They recognize 73 distinct Kinds of house cats Now I feel like You can name A lot of those But I feel like If you're comparing To like orb weavers The number is much smaller Yeah
[00:16:39] There are over 4,700 species Of orb weavers So my question Was not at all In all fairness To you Compared to Taylor Swift Like I wouldn't expect You to name 73 orb weavers You're supposed to name All 7 Like 4,700 But How many can Taylor Swift name Of the cats? Does it say a number? Let me see Do you think She's just like Memorizing them One at a time? Like when she sees it She's like Add it to the journal
[00:17:09] No I absolutely Think that she was Like the weird Neurodivergent Gifted kid That would just Happen to be pretty So She got away With it So In the video That I Was thinking of She named She can name 24 different Breeds of cats In 30 seconds So she knows more If you give her More time But in 30 seconds She can name off 24 different ones But yeah That That is a lot Of cat
[00:17:38] I can name like Two Uh That one You can name And this one So American Short hair I don't know I think Siamese Is probably A cat Bro you're The cat lady You tell me British short hair What's the mole rat one You know what I mean The naked cat Has no hair Yeah What's that one Naked cat I think it's a type of sphinx
[00:18:08] Sphinx What I don't think the sphinx is real Bro your phone Is not on do not disturb And it's bothering me Every time it It is But I'm I made it Thread earlier And it's gotten Like 800 likes And I meant to turn off the Okay but if your phone Is on do not disturb You wouldn't hear Those notifications It doesn't do that It doesn't do not disturb Which mode Are you in Are you in focus Personal Yeah see That's different Than do not disturb Well I do not disturb instead See

[00:19:36] As much as I do Like it's kind of Hard to divide it now Because My brand Is myself Yeah But you know Like I built my My author content Around myself Basically Instead of having Like a specific pen name And all that But And I was right It is a sphinx cat Nah That doesn't sound right What would be Your pen name If you couldn't use Your real name What have you thought About it I think I would have Several
[00:20:05] I think I would have A few depending On the genre And it would give Like That type of genre Mm-hmm Mm-hmm What's the main What's the main We're going with Um Let's Because mine Is just objects For you So You gotta tell me Yours though I know I'm thinking What You don't have it Already That's crazy I thought you Would have One picked out Like lifelong dream And you never Picked out a pen name

[00:21:05] Name as another Person So that's why So many Celebrities Have come up With a stage Name Like Emma Stone Has talked a lot About how much It bothers her Because her name Is Emily And a lot Of people Have started Calling her Emily Because She said She likes Being called By her name But when She went To register They made Her go By Emma Stone Because Emily was taken Who's Emily Stone I don't even know Who the fuck That is You know Honestly It sounds Familiar I have no Idea But Back to the Topic at hand Sorry

[00:26:43] Of Them The Best Place To Find A List Of All Cannons Is The Wiki Vault List I Not Seeing If They Have Like An Actual Physical One But It Says 122 Vaults Were Planned 17 Of These Were Designed To Function Exactly As Advertised Such As Vaults 8 And 76 The Experimental Vaults Were The Remaining 105 Ones Such As Vault 111 From Fallout 4 With Cryogenic Freezing Or Vault 95

[00:28:12] Think It Depends On Where You Are Cause I was Like Sorry I'm Trying To Find The Known Vaults Max It's Center Around Areas Of High Populations
[00:28:42] To Get More People Into Them Though That Makes Sense Yeah Well And If You're In The Northeast The Vaults There Are Going To Be Closer Together Cause Those Are Smaller States Well I'm Not Talking About That I'm Talking About Like Vegas Has Five And
