Clouds, known for being fluffy, famous for being puffy or shapes.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why clouds are secretly incredibly fascinating. Hey there, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more

interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt, and I'm not alone because I'm joined

by my co-host, Katie Golden, Katie, what is your relationship to or opinion of clouds?

They're nice. They're fluffy. I always want to eat them. You know, I remember, remember in Aladdin how they go on a

magic carpet ride and they're sitting on the carpet and Aladdin scoops up some cloud for Jasmine,

like it's freaking cotton candy. You can't do that. They lied to me. So that frustrates me. Like I want to sit on a cloud.

I want to eat a cloud like it's soft serve. And the fact you can't that it's just like water molecules in the

sky is super annoying. Yeah. There's a story later in this where we'll talk about a fine art artistic representation of clouds in a general way.

Actually, two stories.

But we won't really talk about the many cartoon ones, which are probably the main way I think about them.

Like the tiny little rain cloud above a sad or frustrated person is so iconic to me just from cartoons.

And it has never, ever happened.

It's cute. It's cute.

It's fun, the idea that the weather itself would have a vendetta against one guy and just make that guy's life miserable.

I do like that.

I like the sort of Greek God version of the weather where it's like a cloud has just decided to

mess with one guy's day.

And I agree.

We don't get to touch them like Aladdin.

They feel very remote.
