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”
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
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.
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 like it. I was pronouncing it like frumpus, which also has a nice ring to it. A frumpus. Thank you, I will do just that. Have a smashing day yourself!
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
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
I laughed so much and then nearly sent to my boyfriend going ‘is this about your hilarious mate [X]?’ and then probably sensibly decided against it. Will keep the spluttering laughter to myself and fellow substackers
That shrine, though. It’s a good thing his episodes are three hours long. If they were shorter, I would have kept listening to them all year and I would have been doing ALL the protocols. Actually I would have wanted to do them, made a choice to optimize tomorrow and tomorrow and then slept in past getting the right angle of sunlight and called everyday a wash for a year. It’s a good thing I never did that. And it’s a good thing I never spent $80 on AG1 and even if I did, I only did it once and never again.
Haha I’m the prime shrine-arranging chump! Sunlight, cold shower, sauna, cold shower, sauna, cold shower, exercise, athletic greens, meditation, 3 boiled eggs, fish oils, methylated b vitamins, vitamin d, garlic to offset the stroke Alpha GPC might give me, 0.5 g of magic truffles, 5 minutes of neural beats to stimulate my creativity , write , yoga nidre , write - look at my inbox , spend the next four hours looking at my inbox hoping someone subscribes. Jesus I’ve never actually written that routine out
Plus I have a Fitbit, an Apple Watch, an Oura ring and I’m doing everything in my power to not subscribe to a fucking mattress cover. But I can feel my resolve fading
I’m embarrassed to say, but it’s a mattress that adjust your body to the perfect temperature, and another way to measure my sleep, which will make me so anxious I can’t sleep. And after extortionate initial cost, there is a fucking monthly subscription

Thanks Kaitlyn!
Came here to say exactly the same thing.
😂😂
I snorted.
Thanks Nicole! Haven't we all!

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

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

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
I need the good doctor to read this. I feel like he’d appreciate
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!
Great stuff. Your artwork on these articles is fantastic, too, by the way... 😎
I mean I could say it, but it would be a lie
Thanks man! Sorry, I missed this comment. I wish I could say I do the artwork myself!
What a hoot. I haven't read anything in this vein in a while. Thanks for the referral!
Thanks a lot, Sol! That's very kind of you to say. I hope I’ve got plenty more hoots pumping in these here veins
This worked my abs with all the laughs.
thanks mate! Hubey would be pleased
Jajaja, I'll go on with you for a hoot - But (pun), did you have to post a cartoon with such a frumpass?!
haha come one in, hoots all round! I've been searching all over for the meaning of frumpass, but I haven't got to the bottom of it!
Wrong channel, Good morning. Lol - I like to make up words; This one is a combo of Frumpy and Ass = Fumpass! Keep 'em coming. Enjoy a blessed day.
haha I like it. I was pronouncing it like frumpus, which also has a nice ring to it. A frumpus. Thank you, I will do just that. Have a smashing day yourself!
No doubt my friend, twas a splendid day. Laughing to the point of...well shall we just say, nothing more about it. Rest well. Gnight~
Ngl, felt kinda seen
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.

Ha, will defo have a look 😶🌫️
Cheers mate 👃!

🤣🤣🤣 “not quite in or out of shape”
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...
I have stopped reading when I saw the word "mansplanation".
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
Dear, with all respect I would like to pass on the opportunity to discover these terms.
I respect anyone who addresses people as dear!
I laughed so much and then nearly sent to my boyfriend going ‘is this about your hilarious mate [X]?’ and then probably sensibly decided against it. Will keep the spluttering laughter to myself and fellow substackers
Thanks very much! haha maybe send it to him and allow him come to the same conclusion. Then your hands are clean

Mattress cover subscription? I need to know more, but actually I don’t. My new thing is mediocring.

Shit. It’s legit a science cult and has us second guessing every aspect of humaning. Abort. Abort.
I think minimalist electronic music was the gateway far before Hibernian
haha the devil's trumpet, they called it
I'd have given anything for a trumpet on those nights
I'd sure have given a trumpet for some cocaine
But then you'd have to talk to those ppl
at* I'm more of an at guy
Oh oh then that's perfectly enjoyable
