This line, “Your average Hubey-hubby optimises and increases his time on earth, while making his partner’s life feel much, much, much longer.” had me screaming with laughter. 🙏🏼

Got some great laughs out of this. I’m the guy who shuts off the lights at night leaving everyone else to develop night vision or stumble around in the dark.. is it my fault I need to create the optimal conditions to signal my brain to lower cortisol and prepare for melatonin release!?

Thanks man! Haha certainly not! Right there with you. My girlfriend gets so, rightfully, annoyed. But it’s for their own good! Or when I’m sticking my head out the bedroom window at 6 am for 30 minutes on a rainy day and letting a ghastly draft in. “There’s no sun, you idiot!” “Hence why I will be cloudbathing for the commencing 20 minutes AS opposed to the regular 2-5”

A true Huberman knows more sun comes in through the clouds than indoors

haha preach! I've moved into a new flat, and I gently swayed favour in the direction of this one cos of its easterly and westerly sun exposure and range of kitchen overn-top mood lighting. I was actually going to come back to this thread to tell Jack about how fucking hyped I am about my sun exposure, but I shut that thought down as ridiculous. But now I have the perfect excuse, it's seriously easterly

Blow-rogans, know-it-somes, YT-trained Neuroscientists, dopamine missionaries. I'm stealing these phrases! Writing is hilarious. Also, I feel attacked...

ah thanks mate! I'm so glad you like these bits. At the end of an article, I'm always stuck with a bunch of ________ that I strive to fill with funniest nouns I can, to avoid being repetitive. So it's nice that my last minute labour wasn't in vein. haha your attack, is music to my ears. I was worried it was too niche. On which front have I attacked you? or both?

It was spot on in a good way haha. I have definitely caught myself giving "scientific advice" to people based on a 30 second YouTube reel of Huberman talking.

oh yeah man, me and my mate just smugly misquote the same Huberman quotes we heard on the same podcast back and forth to one another

Haha I would love that, but then I also had a flash of panic that he might think I was taking the mickey. But there’s probably some cellular benefit in a gentle ribbing. I actually just left a really desperate, sincere comment on his YouTube video about dopamine, he reads all the comments so, who knows!

haha I had a dream where I was out with Andrew Huberman, and trying to keep my dirty little doings from him. But he found out in the end, he was so disappointed and worried about my dopamine receptors, I was so ashamed. Then I think I corrupted him.

I had never even heard of this guy, but I have to admit I'm totally worried about my dopamine receptors... until like Friday afternoon through Monday morning hehe

haha well fortunately for you, there's no cause to worry as I don't know what I'm talking about. I just repeated impressing seeming words I overhead on podcasts. and fuck it, the human body is a resilient old so and so.

In the late 90s my husband was a Post doc. at UCal Berkeley, one of his office and lab mates was thee Andrew Huberman... I could tell you stories about this guy.... after about a year and half of Andrew's hubris... he was expelled by the lead professor, based on complaints by EVERY single student, grad student and post doc, in that lab... enjoyed this post and so did my hubby! Hubby was just waiting for the moment...

Thank you! Glad you and your hubby-man enjoyed it. I am very keen to hear this a-grade gos, but I also think that was a long old time ago. I know I was certainly a jabroni at that age. Or maybe I'm just indoctrinated. How dare you speak ill of the sun god, retract, or he will bring about an eternal night the like of which our species has never known

Now that I've written this, and it's basically about me, it really makes my behaviour seem even more daft

I must admit I sniff the coke from time to time. I am currently walking around my yard every morning in my bare feet to get "grounded". Does it make a difference? I have no idea.

haha grounding was the exact point where I drew the line. But there might well be something in it who knows? Those methylated b vitamins are legit though. I think, at least...

Ok maybe you don’t get it? There’s this concept called mansplaining. Where a man explains simple things to someone, but as if they had never heard of the concept. You’ve probably never heard of it. I invented it sort of. Let me know if you need to know any more about it
