A bumper episode this week and a veritable romp through the Fortune's Fools project as the finish line appears over the horizon.
I was told going into a project like this that it would show up in your life in strange ways: seeing a cardiologist the week of the Heart card, having a friend lose is eyebrow ring at your house the week of the Ring card, taking ayahuasca the week of the Tree card.
None of these things were planned out beforehand but if you read cards, you know these things tend to happen. They just seem a little extra when you're creating a deck.
So artist extraordinaire Colin Alexander returns to the show in order to reminisce and commiserate on this wacky journey so far.
This episode will probably work better as a video, but it still works audio only, especially if you want to download this large image of all the cards we discuss in the episode. Otherwise you can jump over to YouTube and watch it there.
Enjoy!

0:00.0 | And the This week we thought we'd do something of a crossover episode and and bring the one and only Colin Alexander over from the fortunes fool stage to to the |
0:28.1 | Roon soup main stage. So how you doing Colin? Fabulous, Cinematic Universe is collayed today, |
0:35.6 | so very exciting. |
0:37.6 | For people who are unaware, there are some, |
0:41.0 | dare we say catchphrases that end up, that seem to end up in every episode of Fortune's |
0:47.2 | fools and that's one of them. Cinematic universe but also there has to be at least one. |
0:52.3 | And it would have happened anyway if we're talking for now, |
0:54.4 | but like at least one RuPaul reference. |
0:56.6 | So I thought I'd get that done, get that done right away. |
1:00.3 | Oh, the good, as, you know, as the content that people are after. |
1:05.0 | Well, I mean, speaking of, one of the reasons I wanted to do this now is we are in the final leg, like the end is in sight of what's been quite the journey, right? |
1:18.8 | So I'm starting on the book, which for people who are unaware, is a full fortune telling book and it's |
1:27.0 | designed to be like my fortune telling book as well as the companion book to fortune's fools's So the way it's being written it's designed to work for |
1:38.0 | Playing cards tarot any of that kind of stuff so you can read this book and in theory afterwards be able to pick up any |
1:45.0 | fucking deck of cards and tell some fortunes, right? So that was a moment where I'm like, actually there's something, there's a way of talking about |
1:55.6 | La Normand that makes it bigger, right? And so I thought we'd go through the cards at this point where they're not actually done. We're at 29 out of the full 36. So we're, you know, our age. |
2:09.1 | Of course, if you will. But I think if we go through just where we're at, |
2:15.0 | a lot of stuff, one of the big things that I've noticed, |
2:18.0 | and I was forewarned by my neighbor, |
2:20.0 | I'm Avalon Cameron about this, |
2:22.0 | but as you go through the process of creating a deck stuff happens to you in the week related to a card and that's happened enough times that there are little anecdotes and stories that go with it. But for those of you who are like listening along, I actually think this there's this insight I think into fortune telling and life and and creation is ceremony which is sort of the kind of overarching theme of the episode on each of them. |
3:01.0 | So if you do happen to listen to this while you're on your commute or so on, please keep your eyes on the road and don't try to watch this on YouTube as you drive to work or drop your kids off at school or whatever it may be. I mean, you know, I'm not your boss, but it is not it is not recommended. But I guess I'll start before we jump into the cards color and like, how did you think, what was the, what's like the biggest learning? |
