1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is my nomination for the laziest podcast we've ever done.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: It's one more thing, I'm strong and getty.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: One more thing. Oh that's quite a claim.

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's saying something because we regularly put very

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: very little effort into this, I mean astonishingly little.

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,080
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 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: the Reddit and pick up a whole bunch of them,

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and we'll go through either laugh or be interested or not.

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: Well. It used to be a regular feature on the show.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: We enjoyed it so much.

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Do you ever Do you spend much

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: time on Reddit.

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 3: Every I mean every now and then, But I don't

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: really understand the whole thread way that that works, honest with.

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: You interesting, whatever you're interested in, there are Reddit threads

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: about it, I mean, and it's uh and you know

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: you can and then you can have them listed as

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: the most recent, the most interesting and recent, the top

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: this week, this month, this year, of all time. And

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: I do that regularly, Like like, I don't just pick

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: one random. I'm a Hemingway guy. So if I go

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: to the Hemingway Reddit thread, I could pick you know,

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: top all time and see a list of almost guaranteed

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: to be fascinating threads about Ernest Hemingway. Huh, just whatever

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: you pick anything, sports, music, cooking, the shoes you like

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: to wear, anything.

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: I need to play with it more.

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably do too, although there's only so much

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: time in the day. There are a and g threads

31
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: of various sorts too.

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: But if you want to research something like if you're

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: interested in buying a lawnmower, I mean you can. You

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: can go on there and get all tons of information

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, there's practically anything anyway. This is

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: something called shower thoughts, and it's just clever little sayings

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: or jokes. I just picked them from the last month observation.

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Institutions can't save money using thin toilet paper, you know.

39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: This is a big one with me. Drives me crazy.

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: The toilet paper they have work or in a bank

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: or something like that. Institutions can't actually save when he

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: using thin toilet paper. Everyone just doubles or triples up

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: the amount used each time. That is true, So just

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: buy the thicker good kind in the first place.

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 3: Ah, Jack not a fan of the single ply Oh.

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: It's so it's so nothing. It's amazing it even still exists.

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the imagination of toilet paper. It's

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: so thin.

49
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: Sometimes well, as you know, I have a bidet seat

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: at home, and when I'm in an office building, for instance,

51
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: I just clamber up onto the sink. I've had to

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: work on my flights a buildy.

53
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: I know I've walked in when he's doing that.

54
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: It's horrific, okay, And yet refreshing your mind is creating pictures.

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 2: I don't want.

56
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: The new house I live and has a bi day,

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: and I haven't taken the time to even look into

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: how you use it or anything.

59
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: An actual bidet or like the bidet toilet seat, I

60
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: don't know the difference. An actual bidet is a separate thing.

61
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's a bedet toilet seat then, But it's

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: got a bunch of nozzles and equipment and stuff.

63
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's all about the nozzles, Michael, and the

64
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: water pressure.

65
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, exactly, and temperature of course, another shower thought.

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: It's super easy to permanently change your life for the worst,

67
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: but almost impossible for the best. And you can't make

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: a mistake, you can't do something today that will make

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: your life so much better. Really win the lottery, meet

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: mister or missus. Right, but you wouldn't know it for

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: a while. But you can ruin your life very easily

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: in one day.

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,480
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
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: Well, how weird would it be if, like the night

76
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,040
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
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: the most important person in your life, and I'd be

79
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: this is kind of cute. What are you talking about? Ye?

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Takes the fun out of it. Well yeah, not only that,

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: but it's I wasn't exactly looking for that at the time,

82
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: and neither was she, so you ease into it.

83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: This one's more just I don't know, I thought about it.

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: Imagine what it would look like if all the Wi Fi,

85
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: blue tooth and cellular signals were visible to the naked eye.

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: That would freak you out. If you could see them

87
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: all flying around all the time. You walk into a

88
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: room and they're just everywhere.

89
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the mirror and they're going through your head.

90
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only thing that makes speed bumps work is

91
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: your desire not to damage your car. Clearly true, but

92
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: it's like it's like a threat, slow down or we're

93
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: gonna cost you hundreds of dollars in getting your car repaired.

94
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of speed bumps, but there's this one

95
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: like Strip Molly Multi Strip Molly Place for one of

96
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: our favorite restaurants is And those are speed bumps from hell.

97
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're square or what, but they

98
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: will like hurt your body. Yeah, if you don't slow down.

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: I know.

100
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: I think there's a new speed bump that they invent

101
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: into certain shape because I've hit those two. But you

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: could have a guy there with a hammer and say,

103
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: if you drive too fast when you park, I'm gonna

104
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: come put a dead in your car.

105
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean the same thing really functionally. Yeah.

106
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: One of my favorite memories growing up, they put a

107
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: speed bump on the hill to the to the housing

108
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: community I lived in, and nobody knew it was there

109
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: for a while, and we used to just go sit

110
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: down at the park and wait, oh here he comes

111
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: cram days on end.

112
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: In the modern world, there'd be a YouTube video thing

113
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: for that YouTube speed bump fails. Yeah, we've gotten to

114
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: the point in civilization where a household pet dog has

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: eaten more exotic meats, has more belongings, and has been

116
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: treated better than almost any human was one hundred years ago.

117
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: Very true.

118
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: Wow wow.

119
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: It cost almost nothing to label the up or downside

120
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: of a USB, so you don't put it in wrong

121
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: all the time. But nobody doesn't.

122
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: For real, Why don't they have a u uh a

123
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: top or a bottom.

124
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Little letter on there?

125
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: One hundred percent correct. I kind of like the challenge

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: buddy does. I'm the guy who, if I have a

127
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: piece of paper, I will crumple it an attempt to

128
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: throw it in a trash can, just because that's how

129
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: I amuse myself. Every time I go to plug in

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: SUV at SUV the thing USB USB, I think, all right,

131
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: let's get this one right. But it's the sport of

132
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: it that appeals to me.

133
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: But it's kind of funny that it hasn't become Oh

134
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: there's a dot on the top. That's the top right

135
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 1: for all of them. It's such a simple fix.

136
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: The amount of things I've almost broken by just trying

137
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: to jam that thing in there because I thought I

138
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: had it right the first time.

139
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: And if it's some sort of device that can be used,

140
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: like I've got this little speaker thing I use that

141
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 2: it can be either way or whatever. Just have a

142
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: little dot at the top of that, and you match

143
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: the dot on the top of your little plug. And

144
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: I like for those who can't handle the day, I

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: can't living on the edge.

146
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: I liked that. I learned from an actual neuroscientist that

147
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the reason it seems like you get it wrong more

148
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: than you get it right is the way our minds

149
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: are built to emphasize failure more than success to keep

150
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: us protected. Evolutionary speaking, So it seems like it seems

151
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like fifty percent of the time you

152
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: get it right. It seems like ten percent of the

153
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: time you get it right, and ninety nine until you

154
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: get it wrong. But that's all the way our minds work,

155
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: just to make us remember bad things to protect us.

156
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: Remembering where the berries are is good. Remembering where the

157
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: sabertooth tiger is is very very good.

158
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Right, Almost everybody is walking around with a fact they

159
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: learned on Wikipedia that is wrong, but they'll repeat the

160
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: rest of their lives.

161
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: That was certainly.

162
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting.

163
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh that reminds me. Somebody bugged me to do this.

164
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: I read something really really interesting about how Wikipedia got

165
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: so far off the rails, because it was fairly recent

166
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: and least several years ago, a well meaning, if flawed,

167
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: you know, the source of knowledge. It's it's like like

168
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: a lot of journalism. The ten the type of people

169
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: who would tend to be really enthusiastic about becoming Wikipedia

170
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: contributors and editors, just by the nature of it tends

171
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: to lean a little left, but now it is deliberately

172
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: inescapably way left because of the financing of it. I

173
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: got to get to that at some point.

174
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like to talk about that because I

175
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: use it Wikipedia practically every day. Probably kids often react

176
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: to something like it's the worst thing that's ever happened

177
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: to them in their whole life, because it is the

178
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: first person to find out that you could nail horseshoes

179
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: to a horse's feet was very brave.

180
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: Or very cruel.

181
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: If bugs had a society like ours, their daily routine

182
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: would be NonStop funerals.

183
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: Oh now that's a shower. Thought, that's beautiful.

184
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: I only have a couple more here.

185
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: Okay, asking tall people.

186
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: To reach high shelves a sort of a compliment, but

187
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: asking short people to reach the low shelves seems like

188
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: an insult, doesn't it. Give somebod your shirt and saying

189
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: can you get that down there for me? Because I

190
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: want to bend over you get.

191
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: That pan out from the bottom drawer. Would you about

192
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: having to me this weekend?

193
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: About half of the time at the grocery store, somebody

194
00:09:28,679 --> 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
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: off the low shelf for what.

197
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: My buddy dropped his wallet and said, you're closer to it, would.

198
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: You grab it? And I was like, sure, that's funny.

199
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: How tall are you? I never ask a woman of

200
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: age because I am a gentleman, but what is your height?

201
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 3: I am a smedge over five to four.

202
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: Oh okay, it's pretty simple. That's right in your wheelhouse, right,

203
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: your American woman, average ish wheelhouse.

204
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: And this I came across somewhere else and somebody says

205
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: it's true. They said it's your favorite story. Ever, this

206
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: is what all ends with. A coworker once told me

207
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: that he got banned from a bar when he lived

208
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: in North Dakota back in nineteen seventy three. He didn't

209
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: try going back to it for thirty years, but he

210
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: finally did. The moment he stepped in, someone yelled, get

211
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: the hell out of here, Dennis.

212
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: I could actually believe that's true.

213
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: No one small town bars that people been there forever

214
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: and they're always there and they sit in the same spot.

215
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: I actually could believe that that's true.

216
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, get out. Well, that is that reminds me of

217
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: was it fucked? There are some challenged Hemingway to write

218
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: a short story in five words or six words whatever.

219
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: It was the legendary baby Shoes for Sale, never worn shortest,

220
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: and it is. It's amazingly effective. It just it grabs you,

221
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: that is in its own weird way, like an essay

222
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: about small town America.

223
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that could be true. I'm telling you,

224
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: being from tiny towns. It actually.

225
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: Which for a lot of us in our lifestyles. It's stunning.

226
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: It can't possibly be true, but no, yeah, it is.

227
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: The hell are you doing here? Deaths? Well, I guess

228
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: that's it.
