Because I’ve discovered “Kevin And Ursula Eat Cheap” way after becoming a “Hidden Almanac” fan, listening to KUEC feels like discovering someone’s VERY obscure domestic AU

If you listen to Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap, The Hidden Almanac, or Productivity Alchemy, and you’re on Pillowfort, I’ve started a community for fans thereof.

The first underground little indy band that I fell in love with as a teen is officially disbanding (and maybe getting a divorce who knows, the facebook announcement was abrupt and angry-sounding) and my primary nerdy entertainment website is restructuring to avoid implosion in a way that has shuffled all the old-guard content personalities off-camera and one of my favorite podcasts is probably about to end so that the hosts don’t die of esophageal cancer caused by acid reflux (YOU CAN TALK INTO A MICROPHONE FOR AN HOUR WITHOUT EATING A CAROLINA REAPER AT THE SAME TIME JESUS) and my AR game of choice just reskinned in a way that gives everyone seizures and migraines, RIP.  I CAN’T EXIST WITHOUT A HYPERFIXATION TERRIBLE THINGS WILL HAPPEN.  SEND HELP.

Kevin and Ursula reviewing the Carolina Reaper Madness Chip

Ursula: I am saddened.

Kevin: You and me both!

Ursula: 'Cause [our listeners] went to so much trouble to find this chip! It's like they sought out the Grail, and it was a Dixie cup with "Jesus" written on the side.

As far as I can tell, I am supposed to be mad about a thing.  Or if I AM mad about the thing (and I am mad about many things), I should have been mad before.  Or I should have been much madder before if I was just a little mad before, that didn't count.  And, I am certainly too mad right now, or not mad enough, but definitely not mad the correct amount.  And certainly not about the correct things.   It's a little exhausting.  I know I'm mad (we're all mad here), but...  The whole "You should be madder about this", and "Ignore this, and be mad about this other thing I am telling you about" and "Why weren't you mad about this?"...  It's starting to wear on me.   I...  I am capable of being mad about multiple things at a time, in fact I sort of live that way, but... The "Not being mad enough about the thing at the correct time of madness"?  I need, like, a checklist?  Or a calendar or something, of when I am to be mad about the thing...  And the other thing...  And this thing over here...   And I'm not really sure where I'm going with that. There's a squirrel in the back yard.  This is the other problem with me: I can get very mad, and then a squirrel shows up. One of the many ways, in which I am not entirely like a wombat: A wombat is a single-minded animal, that does not stop, and cannot be persuaded from its path, usually.   Kevin, am I occasionally stubborn, and you can't persuade me from my path?  (Kevin: "Yeah...")  Okay, well, there's that too.  I contain multitudes.

Day 17

...Nope, no matter how many times I look at this question I still don’t have an answer. I have a long, long list of awesome narrative podcasts I follow -- a list which is shorter by one as of the events of this week, but I digress -- but none of them mesh with the tone and cadence and personality of this one in a way that makes me say “I want to see these characters and situations collide.” Even if we go totally cracked out...

...Okay, if we go totally cracked out I do have an answer that literally came to me as I was typing the paragraph above. Eiffel would make an excellent guest reviewer on Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap. He would have firsthand experience in comparing things to military food, prison food, and space food! He would enable Ursula’s conversational rabbit-holing! They would ask him weird questions about space that he might actually be willing to answer if they got him ranty enough! There could be gardening-related asides about the Blessed Eternal! The episode would end up four hours long and I would be totally okay with this!
