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.
I’m partial to old Timbo. He’s a sweetheart isn’t he - and a low key genius. Apparently he can remember the layout of every room he’s ever been in. I don’t know what good that is, but it’s impressive
Yes! That's it -- he's got a lot of similarities to the Hube, but he is truly kind and compassionate, and, unlike Hube, doesn't ask masturbatory questions that take 5 full minutes to ask, just to hear the sound of his own voice. He truly sounds curious, and willing to admit when he's wrong.
haha the hube is capable of tugging himself off - but he changed my life, YOU LEAVE HIM BE, OK? Yeah Timmy is smart, kind and lovely, and he can spin a phrase delightfully. The only thing that annoys me is when he and his start up mates are making inside jokes and tugging each other off, but that's minor really, I do like him a lot
these articles, lol. my gripe here doesn't **matter** because my objection is just aesthetic, but on the aesthetic level there's at least one phrasing per post that stings my consciousness; in this case "humdinger" and "wack auntie". I don't know what precisely about this usage icks me so hard, but taken as a whole it evokes the vibe of pinterest-adjacent marketing listicles that contrive keyword diversity and """creativity"""

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...

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
The Church of Dopamine. That could work
We are all parishioners!!
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... 😎
Thanks man! Sorry, I missed this comment. I wish I could say I do the artwork myself!
I mean I could say it, but it would be a lie
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

If you're not into the Huberman portion of this article, you might like this one. but prepare to be seen, once more https://wrongchannel.substack.com/p/great-british-coke-habit-1
Ha, will defo have a look 😶🌫️
Cheers mate 👃!

Brilliant. I'm more of a Tim Ferris gal myself.

Haha that does happen. And let's be honest, I listen to Hube, too. ;)
same issue I have with "pubgrub", it's corny consonance for gimmick's sake, like "a bubbly wubbly bath"
Call me a pedant, but, you started it, you're also reading it wrong in your head. It's Huber-hubby. There's no consonance. Hoober-hubby
okay, reduplication? whatever it is, they all flow the same way: huber-hubby bubbly wubbly pubgrub zigzag pishposh dingdong
haha interesting. I see it as a bit of fun, but I have literary things I hate
I didn't mean to segue into recommending this article but you might like it, it's about words that are played out and words that I hate

I’m going to keep them coming-wumming just for you
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
I did not want to read this after you made my brain-voice say "Huber-hubby".
I did anyway, but I want you to know that.
haha my bad Alfred. What was your aversion to it?
same issue I have with "pubgrub", it's corny consonance for gimmick's sake, like "a bubbly wubbly bath"
Reading this I realized. I am sooo old...
You're the Alan Ginsberg of life hacking!
* googles Alan Ginsberg* *thanks you*
Loved reading this one as I'm a huge fan of Andrew. Restacked.
Thank you Anshul. Glad you enjoyed it. So I am I!
