Full Episode
About 20 minutes ago, I sat down to record this episode. I lit a candle, I got comfortable in my chair, I pressed record, and I started yapping. And everything was going smoothly. Until the unexpected happened. Out of nowhere. I got hiccups. This has never happened before, okay? I've recorded hundreds of podcast episodes.
I've never spontaneously developed hiccups in the middle of an episode ever in my entire life. And I kind of froze. I didn't really know what to do. I was like, well, are they going to go away, like, right now? Like, I'm in the middle of something. Like, are they going to go away right now? So I just kind of kept it rolling. I was like... They'll probably go away in like a minute or two.
They did not go away in a minute or two. I had to turn off my recording equipment and sit and stare at the wall for 20 minutes and wait for my hiccups to go away. As you can hear, the hiccups are gone. I'm back. We're trying it again. Everything's going great this time. I'm actually like kind of afraid. that I'm going to get hiccups again.
It was kind of a, not to be dramatic, but it was kind of a traumatic event because I was so like in the zone. I was so fucking ready to chat with you guys. And then hiccups, it was just, it was unbelievable. It was terrible. But I'm here. The hiccups are over. I fucking hate having hiccups. They hurt a little bit.
I don't know if that's just me and like I have something undiagnosed, like maybe hiccups shouldn't hurt. But for me, they hurt. It's like uncomfortable. It's miserable. So I'm just happy to be here. Anyway, abrupt topic shift alert. As many of you may know, if you listen to Anything Goes, about two or three months ago, I made the decision to get rid of majority of the clothing in my closet.
I'm talking about 90 to 95% of the clothing in my closet donated. You probably know this if you're a listener to Anything Goes because I have unfortunately made it my entire personality. It is a reoccurring topic for me. I cannot stop discussing the realizations and epiphanies that I've had from getting rid of majority of the clothing in my closet.
It's actually kind of sad how profound this experience has been for me. Most people's profound events are a bit more deep, you know? Getting rid of majority of the clothing in my closet, like that's not that deep. I didn't have a near-death experience. Like shit didn't get that real. Like it shouldn't be as profound for me as it is.
However, the experience of getting rid of majority of the clothing in my closet for me has been profound. And objectively, that's kind of sad. But I think anytime anything is profound in life, we should welcome it with open arms and say, you know what? Any experience that invites conversation, I think is positive, no matter how surface level it may seem from the outside.
I've had many epiphanies from this experience, and I've talked about a lot of them on this podcast. So some of these epiphanies may be familiar to you, but I'm going to list the epiphanies I've had thus far. Number one, the true value of quality over quantity in clothing. Something that I was aware of prior to this experience, but I wasn't really living out in my life.
