1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is my nomination for the laziest podcast we've ever done.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: It's one more thing, I'm strong andy, one more thing.

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: Oh that's quite a claim. And yeah that's.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: Saying something because we regularly put very very little effort

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: into this, I mean astonishingly little.

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Effort, and yet it is often delightful.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: All I did was go to uh shower thoughts on

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: the Reddit and pick up a whole bunch of them,

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: and we'll go through either laugh or be interested or not.

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: Well.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: It used to be a regular feature on the show.

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: We enjoyed it so much.

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Do you ever Do you spend much

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: time on Reddit.

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 4: Every I mean every now and then, But I don't

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: really understand the whole thread way that that works.

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Be honest with you, interesting, whatever you're interested in, there

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: are Reddit threads about it, I mean, and it's uh

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: and you know you can and then you can have

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: them listed as the most recent, the most interesting and recent,

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the top this week, this month, this year, of all time.

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: And I do that regularly, Like like, I don't just

23
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: pick one random. I'm a Hemingway guy. So if I

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: go to the Hemingway reddit thread, I could pick you know,

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: top all time and see a list of almost guaranteed

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: to be fascinating threads about Ernest Hemingway. Huh, just whatever

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: you pick anything, sports, music, cooking, the shoes you like

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: to wear, anything.

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: I need to play with it more.

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably do too, although there's only so much

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: time in the day. There are a and g threads

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: of various sorts too.

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: But if you want to research something like if you're

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: interested in buying a lawnmower, I mean you can. You

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: can go on there and get all tons of information

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, there's practically anything anyway. This is

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: something called shower thoughts, and it's just clever little sayings

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: or jokes. I just picked them from the last month observation.

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Institutions can't save money using thin toilet paper. You know,

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: this is a big one with me. Drives me crazy,

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: the toilet paper they have a work or in a

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: bank or something like that. Institutions can't actually save money

43
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: using thin toilet paper. Everyone just doubles or triples up

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: the amount used each time. That is true, So just

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: buy the thicker good kind in the first place.

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: Ah, Jack not a fan of the single ply Oh.

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: It's so, it's so nothing. It's amazing it even still exists.

48
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the imagination of toilet paper. It's

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: so thin.

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: Sometimes well, as you know, I have a biddet seat

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: at home, and when I'm in an office building, for instance,

52
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: I just clamber up onto the sink. I've had to

53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: work on my flights ability.

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: I know I've walked in when he's doing that.

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: It's horrific, okay, And yet refreshing your mind is creating pictures.

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't want. The new house I live in has

57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: a bday and I haven't taken the time to even

58
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: look into how you use it or anything.

59
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: An actual bidet or like the bidet toilet seat, I

60
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: don't know the difference. An actual bidet is a separate thing.

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's a bedet toilet seat then, But it's

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: got a bunch of nozzles and equipment and stuff.

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's all about the ass, Michael, and the

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 3: water pressure and yeah, exactly, and temperature of course, another

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 3: shower thought.

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: It's super easy to permanently change your life for the worst,

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: but almost impossible for the best. And you can't make

68
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: a mistake. You can't do something today that will make

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: your life so much better. Really win the lottery, meet

70
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: mister or missus. Right, but you wouldn't know it for

71
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: a while. But you can ruin your life very easily

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: in one day.

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: Yes, and often know it almost immediately. Maybe not?

74
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no kidding.

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: Well, how weird would it be if, like the night

76
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Judy and I really hit it off, some cosmic voice

77
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: had said, you will spend your lives together. This is

78
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: the most important person in your life, and I'd be, yeah,

79
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: this is kind of cute. What are you talking about?

80
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, takes the fun out of it.

81
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Well yeah, not only that, but it's I wasn't exactly

82
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: looking for that at the time, and either was she,

83
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: So you ease into it.

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: This one's more just I don't know, I thought about it.

85
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Imagine what it would look like if all the Wi Fi,

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: blue tooth and cellular signals were visible to the naked eye.

87
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: That would freak you out. If you could see them

88
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: all flying around all the time. You walk into a

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 1: room and they're just everywhere.

90
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, in the mirror and they're going through

91
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: your head.

92
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only thing that makes speed bumps work is

93
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: your desire not to damage your car. Clearly true, but

94
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: it's like it's like a threat, slow down or we're

95
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: gonna cost you hundreds of dollars in getting your car repaired.

96
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of speed bumps, but there's this one

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: like Strip Molly Multi Strip Molly Place where one of

98
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: our favorite restaurants is, and those are speed bumps from hell.

99
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

100
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're square or what, but they

101
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: will like hurt your body. Yeah, if you don't slow down.

102
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: I know.

103
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: I think there's a new speed bump that they invented

104
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: a certain shape because I've hit those two. But you

105
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: could have a guy there with a hammer and say,

106
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: if you drive too fast when you park, I'm gonna

107
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: come put a dead in your car.

108
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: I mean the same thing really functionally. Yeah.

109
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 4: One of my favorite memories growing up, they put a

110
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 4: speed bump on the hill to the to the housing

111
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: community I lived in, and nobody knew it was there

112
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: for a while and we used to just go sit

113
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: down at the park and wait, oh, here he comes.

114
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: Cram days on end.

115
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: In the modern world, there'd be a YouTube video thing

116
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: for that speedbump fails. Yeah, we've gotten to the point

117
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: in civilization where a household pet dog has eaten more

118
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: exotic meats, has more belongings, and has been treated better

119
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: than almost any human was one hundred years ago. Very true.

120
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: Wow Wow.

121
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: It cost almost nothing to label the up or downside

122
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: of a USB, so you don't put it in wrong

123
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: all the time. But nobody doesn't for real, Why don't

124
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: they have a u uh a top or a bottom

125
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: little letter on there, one.

126
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: Hundred percent correct, kind of like the challenge buddy does.

127
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm the guy who if I have a piece of paper,

128
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: I will crumple it an attempt to throw it in

129
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: a trash can, just because that's how I amuse myself.

130
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: Every time I go to plug in SUV at SUV

131
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: the thing USB USB, I think, all right, let's get

132
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: this one. But it's the sport of it that appeals

133
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: to me.

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: But it's kind of funny that it hasn't become Oh

135
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: there's a dot on the top. That's the top right

136
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: for all of them. It's pretty such a simple fix.

137
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 4: The amount of things I've almost broken by just trying

138
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 4: to jam that thing in there because I thought I

139
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: had it right the first time.

140
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: And if it's some sort of device that can be used,

141
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 2: like I've got this little speaker thing I use that.

142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: It can be either way or whatever. Just have a

143
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: little dot at the top of that, and you match

144
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 2: the dot on the top of your little plug and

145
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: it goes. I like for those who can't handle the

146
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: day I can't living on the edge.

147
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: I liked that. I learned from an actual neuroscientist that

148
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: the reason it seems like you get it wrong more

149
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: than you get it right is the way our minds

150
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: are built to emphasize failure more than success to keep

151
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: us protected evolutionary speaking, So it seems like it seems

152
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like fifty percent of the time you

153
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: get it right. It seems like ten percent of the

154
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: time you get it right, and ninety nice until you

155
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: get it wrong. But that's all the way our minds work,

156
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: just to make us remember bad things to protect us.

157
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: Remembering where the berries are is good. Remembering where the

158
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: sabertooth tiger is is very very good.

159
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Right, Almost everybody is walking around with a fact they

160
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: learned on Wikipedia that is wrong, but they'll repeat.

161
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: The rest of their lives. That was certainly.

162
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, Oh that reminds me.

163
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: Somebody bugged me to do this. I read something really

164
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: really interesting about how Wikipedia got so far off the rails,

165
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: because it was fairly recent, several years ago. A well meaning,

166
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: if flawed, you know, the source of knowledge. It's it's

167
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: like like a lot of journalism. The ten the type

168
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: of people who would tend to be really enthusiastic about

169
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: becoming Wikipedia contributors and editors, just by the nature of it,

170
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: tends to lean a little left, but now it is

171
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: deliberately inescapably way left because of the financing of it.

172
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: I got to get to that at some point.

173
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to talk about that, because I

174
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: use Wikipedia practically every day. Probably kids often react to

175
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: something like it's the worst thing that's ever happened to

176
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: them in their.

177
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: Whole life, because it is.

178
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: The first person to find out that you could nail

179
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: horseshoes to a horse's feet. Was very brave.

180
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: Or very cruel.

181
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: If bugs had a society like ours, their daily routine

182
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: would be NonStop funerals.

183
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: Oh now that's a shower. Thought, that's beautiful.

184
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: I only have a couple more here.

185
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: Okay, that's asking tall people.

186
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: To reach high shelves a sort of a compliment, but

187
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: asking short people to reach the low shelves. Seems like

188
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: an insult, doesn't it? Give somebody your shirts saying can

189
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: you get that down there for me? Because I want

190
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: to bend over.

191
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: You get that pan out from the bottom drawer, would you?

192
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: I about having to me this weekend.

193
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: About half of the time at the grocery store, somebody

194
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: asks me to get something off the top shelf, but

195
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: get some of the people ask you to get something

196
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: off the low shelf for what.

197
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: My buddy dropped his wallet and said, you're closer to it,

198
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: would you grab it?

199
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: And I was like, sure, that's funny. How tall are you?

200
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: I never asked a woman of age because I am

201
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: a gentleman, but what is your height?

202
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: I am a smedge over five to four.

203
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: Oh okay, pretty typical. That's right in your wheelhouse, right,

204
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: your American woman, averageish wheelhouse.

205
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: And this I came across somewhere else and somebody says

206
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: it's true. They said it's your favorite or wherever. This

207
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: is what all ends with. A coworker once told me

208
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: that he got banned from a bar when he lived

209
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: in North Dakota back in nineteen seventy three. He didn't

210
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: try going back to it for thirty years, but he

211
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: finally did. The moment he stepped in, someone.

212
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: Yelled, get the hell out of here, Dennis, I could

213
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 5: actually believe that's true.

214
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: No one small town bars that people been there forever

215
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: and they're always there and they sit in the same spot.

216
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: I actually could believe that that's true.

217
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, get out of here. Well, that is that reminds

218
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: me of was it fucked? There are some challenged Hemingway

219
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: to write a short story in five words or six

220
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: words whatever. It was the legendary baby Shoes for Sale,

221
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 2: never worn shortest, and it is. It's amazingly effective. It

222
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: just it grabs you, that is in its own weird way,

223
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: like an essay about small town America.

224
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that could be true. I'm telling you,

225
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: being from tiny towns, it actually.

226
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: Which for a lot of us in our lifestyles. It's stunning.

227
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: It can't possibly be true, but yeah it is. The

228
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: hell are you doing here, Denis? Well, I guess that's it.
