Peter
00:00
I'm gonna have to edit myself, but I'm like, what the f is happening here?
Aubrey
00:19
Welcome back to Generations. I'm one of your co-hosts, Aubrey.
Peter
00:24
And I am your other co-host, Peter.
Aubrey
00:26
How are you, Dad? How has your last couple weeks been?
Peter
00:30
Uh I am well. It has been very busy. Mm-hmm. Uh last week was just busy at work and then I had stuff pretty much every day after work and then, you know, Friday. as soon as I finished up in surgery, had to run home and finish packing and head over to Boise and then was over in Boise until Sunday night. We were driving back at like 830 from Boise and Yikes. So this week got off to a bit of a rough start just between being so tired and having had a crazy weekend and everything. Um, and then this week was busy as well, but that's okay because I am off at 7 a. m. tomorrow.
Aubrey
01:14
Very good. For the whole week?
Peter
01:16
Yep, whole week. We're heading down to St. George for um for spring break. We'll be down there. We'll come back Friday So be down there, have a little time away, just kinda chill. I think we're gonna go do some, you know, hang out in the pool. I think I mentioned to you beforehand it's supposed to be the coolest day. This next week in St. George is supposed to be 90.
Aubrey
01:44
Yikes.
Peter
01:46
So but how are you?
Aubrey
01:49
Um, I've been good. I know I've mentioned to you how crazy the weather has been here, but yeah, this last weekend A week ago we got like twenty inches of snow in like twenty-four hour period. Jeez. It was it was rough. Monday was like uh snow day, like Hayden we even worked from home when like Epic didn't even let their Employees work from home on the day that it was negative thirty-four degrees outside, but they did on Monday 'cause of how bad the roads were. Oh, I'm sure. So and like the it just genuinely blizzarded for like sixteen hours. It was crazy. We woke up at like six on Monday 'cause we get up at six when we were going to the gym. And I was like, you know, we live super close to the gym, maybe it won't be that bad. I look out the window and I was like, We're not even gonna try.
Peter
02:51
You're like, it's that bad.
Aubrey
02:53
Yeah I was like, I don't even want to brave that. I don't I don't even want to try. So we just worked out in our apartment gym, which there was like multiple people down there all kind of doing the same So yeah, it was rough. But yeah, so he he worked from home. I get paid snow days. Didn't even know that I existed. So the last time when school got canceled because it was negative thirty-four degrees, I did get paid that day, so I did get paid on Monday, which is very nice. Sweet. Um but then of course yesterday it's like a whopping 72 degrees outside.
Peter
03:31
That's that's some serious whiplash. I mean it's kind of been like that here, but You know, we had one day a couple weeks ago where it snowed like seven, eight inches, and then um but then it immediately started warming up, and that was the most snow we've had all winter, so
Aubrey
03:48
Yeah, yeah, so that has been crazy, but this week is also my spring break, so I am um just gonna be chilling, which is good because I kinda got sick over the weekend, so Now I can just recover.
Peter
04:02
That's very good.
Aubrey
04:04
But yeah. And it's supposed to be decently warm. this week, so I'm excited to actually be able to go outside and like go for outside walks instead of nice.
Peter
04:14
Yeah, that'll be good. That'll be good.
Aubrey
04:17
Um but we thought for Oh before before we before we talk about this, I I have to make an announcement. Oh announcement, yes.
Peter
04:26
An announcement. It's not really an announcement, but it says like, look, I think your mom thought I was crazy, and that's okay. That's fair. She's allowed to think that. I I went to work Friday morning and it was clinic. Friday is, you know, New Music Day So I always open up Friday morning before, you know, first thing in the morning. I go to the Apple Music search, tap on the metal section and look at the new releases. and see if there's anything worth listening to. And I did that as usual. Now I already knew there were a couple things coming out, a couple albums I had pre-saved that I was interested in. We got the newest album from Exodus. It's it's not bad, but it's not great. We got the newest album from Garea, which after their last few were were really, really good. This one is a little Uh I saw somebody and I think Reddit make a comparison and not a direct comparison, but they were like, yeah, it's kind of giving me shades of sleep token, and I thought, oh yeah, you're not wrong. Like it still is kind of black metal and it's a lot more aggressive than Sleep Token. Yeah. But it still is a lot more there's there's there's enough Frufra moments that make me go, uh, whatever. Fair enough. Then there were a couple others. I mean it was a big music week. Then there was like uh the new one from the Holium, a new one from Hanging Garden, a new one from Ethereal Darkness. And so I was like, wow, okay, a lot of music to check out. I got home from clinic and I sat down and I opened up my phone and You know, Fridays, I get a bunch of I I wouldn't call it spam because it's all stuff that I've at some point or another bought something or some reason I've signed up and got on their email list. But I I get a lot of junk slash product emails. So I open it up and I got like 68 messages in my inbox since I'd looked that morning. And I'm just like going through swiping, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. And then there's always the new ones from Bandcamp that it's like, oh, this band has a new release. This band has a new release.
Aubrey
06:26
Uh-huh.
Peter
06:27
And I looked at one and I stopped. And I'm like This can't be right. And it said, Neurosis has released a new album. Oh? And I'm like, but but that's This is wrong. Somehow this is getting it wrong. Yeah. And so I open the email a and there's uh a a new album it says from neurosis. It says released, it doesn't say announced. And I'm like, and I click on it and it goes to the Bandcamp page.
Aubrey
06:57
Uh-huh.
Peter
06:57
And there's the whole album. And I'm like, but this still can't be right. But over there is the picture of mostly the Neurosis band I am so familiar with.
Aubrey
07:10
Uh-huh.
Peter
07:11
And I tap play and the first track is Steve Von Till's anguished vocals yelling over and over things like, you know We have what is it? We've forgotten how to die and so we suffer. We have forgotten who we are and so we suffer. We have forgotten how to live and so we suffer. Just like over in this very like neurosis way. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like I'm gonna have to edit myself, but I'm like, what the f is happening here? So, backstory. Neurosis, favorite band. Love them. I mean I can literally take my fifty years of music being a music fan and I can split it roughly in half from when I discovered neurosis and say The way I listen to and think about music, there's before neurosis and there's after neurosis. And those are two distinct eras of my life in how I think about music. And and Neurosis has connected, like their music has connected with me on such a visceral and emotional and And almost I would say like like a spiritual, a transcendental way, like no other music I've ever listened to.
Aubrey
08:24
Yeah.
Peter
08:25
But in 2022 it came out that Scott Kelly, one of the vocalists and slash guitarists, that there were abuse allegations against his family. And the band immediately came out and said, We've actually known about this since twenty nineteen. As soon as we found out he was kicked out of the band. We've cut all ties, but we didn't say anything at the request of his wife for privacy.
Aubrey
08:46
I see.
Peter
08:47
But they're like, now that it's out, we just want everyone to know we've had nothing to do with him for three years, he's out.
Aubrey
08:52
Oh wow.
Peter
08:53
But then it was like, nothing. We've heard nothing. Neurosis' last album came out in 2016. Oh jeez.
Aubrey
09:01
What?
Peter
09:02
They recorded this new album over the course of three weeks. Somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, mastered it over the course of like three days, and then on the spring solstice as a representation of new beginnings. Neurosis dropped on an unsuspecting world, the one hour and four-minute album An Undying Love for a Burning World.
Aubrey
09:31
Wow. That's crazy.
Peter
09:34
Have added to the band Aaron Turner, the guitarist, vocalist, and mastermind behind the older, now now ended Boston area. post metal band that admitted from very day one that they were highly influenced by Neurosis. Uh the band Isis. Uh he's been with Sumac. He's been with Old Man Gloom. And he is now in Neurosis. And I sat down and I immediately bought it on Bandcamp and I hurried and purchased one of the vinyl variants that was still available because the email had gone out that morning and so I hadn't seen it for a few hours. Yeah. And then I think I've listened to this hour and four-minute album five or six times since Friday afternoon. And it is Uh it is interesting because before I could start listening to it, I just honestly sat there in a chair for about a half an hour trying to come to terms with my feelings and like looking online and all of the metal blogs are like Holy shit, nobody had any idea this was coming. Neuroses just dropped this album on everybody. And I mean, like, Reddit is exploding. People are like. What is going on? And then people were like, oh my gosh, this is like and then there were people who are making jokes of like, oh my gosh, it's an album so good that it killed Chuck Norris, that MAGA sucking dipshit Um, you know, so good riddance to Chuck Norris. But like, I don't know, it was It it has been like three days now, and I'm still just like I can't believe there's a new neurosis album. Yeah. It's just that's awesome. It's insane.
Aubrey
11:25
That's amazing.
Peter
11:26
It has been a real journey. So of course on my I I basically resurrected my metal blog because I'm like I gotta spill like 800 words on this and put it up and as you should So it was just I was I was shaken to my very core when I saw that announcement. I'm like, what I cannot believe. Cause I had I had so come to terms with the fact that that it was done. We weren't getting the neurosis, it was over. that they'd ended with fires within fires back in twenty sixteen and that that was gonna be it. And and and it was that is not the case. Yeah. I think they also the other thing, so they dropped it on the spring equinox, and then also at the same time it announ they were announced as the surprise slash mystery headliner for the Fire on the Mountains Festival in July up in Montana. Um it is on uh it is on First Nations land.
Aubrey
12:30
Okay
Peter
12:31
And it is a big festival that is formed with the, I can't remember the tribe that owns that land But it is it is with them they're involved in it. And it's interesting because the big thing about it is it part of what it does is it's raising money to help support um Psychiatric help, mental health, and prevent suicide in First Nation teens. Oh wow. That's awesome. So So yeah, it's a big festival and they'd they'd had they'd announced a bunch of other bands, but there was always one that was like headliner for this day, TBA, and then boom, it got Aid.
Aubrey
13:11
Wow. That's awesome.
Peter
13:14
Anyway, that's a long digression, but it's been very interesting. I just again so many feelings just kind of blowing my mind that Yeah. That this happened. Anyway, sorry.
Aubrey
13:28
No, no, no, no.
Peter
13:29
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Aubrey
13:31
Yes, regularly scheduled programming. Um We thought today we could do maybe just a little like check-in on our like yearly themes, yearly goals. Um, we were kind of doing like a quarterly sort of planning situation um back at the start of the new year. Um, so yeah, I just kinda thought we could do a bit of a check-in, see if we've like revamped anything, how of some of our big main goals gone um stuff like that. So first of all, how is your how's your yearly theme and everything has gone along with it so far?
Peter
14:09
So um my theme is Going okay, and that's in part because my theme intentionally was designed To be malleable, to be adaptable. And so in that regards it it it is going well. Okay. In that, you know, my my first month, my refinement was to work on uh kind of my exercise. That was going well. Then I started working on a nightly routine That one didn't go quite so well as the end of the month. I'm still struggling with locking in an evening routine. Unfortunately, the last couple weeks, just with how busy everything's been and how tired and burnt out I've been, the exercise hasn't been as awesome. This month I've been trying to work on better planning my kind of creative output. Um and and that's all been it's all been sort of a work in progress, kind of a process of And that's kind of what I was expecting and anticipating this month or this year, is that I really wanted to use this as kind of almost giving myself an excuse to experiment, giving myself some space to go, okay, let's try this, and if it works great, and if it doesn't, that's okay too, then we'll try something different. And so I'm kind of in the midst of of of all of that. Um but what about you?
Aubrey
15:37
Yeah, it's been going it's been going pretty good, I would say. Um it kind of feels like Since I kind of have a pretty chill just like lifestyle 'cause I'm not like in school or anything right now. Um I also can kind of just like try things and like if certain things don't work out as well doesn't really have any big like lasting consequences on my life really. Sure. Um But something I I have been just really locking in on is fitness, which my yearly theme was just like peace, how I can make my life just more peaceful, how I can do things that bring me peace, which can be like a million different things And obviously fitness is a huge part of that. Um and I know we mentioned we talked a couple weeks ago about our tracking app. And stuff like that. So I since I since that episode and I got on the athletic app and I got my Apple Watch and I've been locked in on the cut and everything. Um That has been kind of like the new thing I'm trying, you know, this year because I tried again, I tried to do the cut multiple times. Um when I was like in school and it just was not gonna work 'cause how am I supposed to properly meal prep and plan when I have literally no free time?
Peter
17:06
Yeah, for sure.
Aubrey
17:08
So it's kind of been a bit of an experiment 'cause I just was like, let's just see how it goes. Um and it's been going pretty good. I would say. Um, that's kind of the main thing I've been trying to focus on is is fitness in terms of like my goals and stuff like that. But the other thing I'm also kind of trying to lock in on a little bit more is creative things, like just different creative outlets, because I am not very um artsy person I would say or not like a naturally very creative person. Like I'm not good at like drawing. I can't just like sit and doodle because I just I can't draw. I can just draw stick figures. Um I'm not very good at like those super um like if it's not kind of like a specific thing you're supposed to do, I'm not very good at just like coming up with random creative things to do, you know? Sure. Um so I've been kind of trying to do some more creative things because again, as I have more free time in my day, like I don't want the only uh things that are taking up my time is just like fitness stuff. Um, because that doesn't really lead well anywhere. Sure. Um, so Something I am gonna try, especially this spring break, is to try to get on Notion. And play around with that. And I was gonna ask, have you ever messed around with Notion?
Peter
18:42
Because I'm sure you have. Notion, Notion, Notion. Yes. Yes, yes.
Aubrey
18:48
Why do you say it like that?
Peter
18:50
Um Because I I got interested in Notion sometime last year and went and I went ahead because I can. I did the, you know, I paid for the premium, all this kind of stuff. And then I find myself just not using it and I'm very much in a state of is it even worth me continuing to pay that subscription? Because it really feels like Notion is moving the way of They want, it's like looking at enterprise and they really like they're doing all these things now with custom agents and they're they're doing the like They're doing the the drug pusher, drug dealer thing where it's like, oh, they're free right now while they're in beta and make your agent. And so it's like You're gonna get you're gonna build whole workflows around these custom agents and then all of a sudden it's gonna come out and it's like, okay, well it's twelve dollars a month for each agent that you've been using or whatever, who knows. Um I've you know, I watch a lot of people I've watched a lot of people in the past who walk you through, oh, let's create this notion template and let's make this database and let's do this tracker and let's Yeah. You know, do all these other things. And I I feel like the people who are really big into it Here's the thing, I'm not saying you shouldn't use it. I'm saying go ahead and play around with it. But my recommendation would be this. Don't let playing with the system replace whatever you wanted the system for in the first place. And that seems to be what I see a lot of people, both with Notion and with Obsidian as well, they get so into the weeds of customizing and building their databases and how do I get these dashboards and make these personal home pages with all these things. And look, I mean I've paid money for templates, Fertil Notion, the people have put together and And so I've bought people's custom notion templates and played around with them and I I I end up getting to a point personally where The tool is more work than whatever I wanted the tool to be helpful for. Yeah, totally. So, so like obsidian for me, I use obsidian, but obsidian, I don't I I don't do big I don't do big fancy data views and I'm not using bases really. I just like I just use it to write notes. Yeah. Or to write articles. And so Notion is still in this kind of liminal space where I haven't quite figured out does it work for me or does it not? because I don't know what it is I want Notion to do for me. So that's my question for you is what is it that you want Notion to do for you?
Aubrey
21:39
Um I honestly just wanted to make some sort of either tracker or database or something. I don't know. Something to do to help with like weekly um meal planning and like grocery lists Um because yeah, Hayden and I like meal plan all the dinners for the week every Sunday and then I shop on Monday. Um And so just like having, you know, a bunch of recipes that we have, the regular things that we usually need to get at the grocery store, like on a list. And then the things we need for each of those recipes like on the list I thought could be kind of cool. Um also not so worried about the product itself. It's more it's more about the process for me, you know, because I don't we have a good process to just meal plan and prep. Like it's not like it's that much of like a pain in the butt to do what we're doing now. Um Where like we have a recipe book or we find a recipe and I just go to our notes grocery list and put what we need on there. Um, but I just thought it could be kind of fun to like push myself a little bit to try and create something so if it ends up being like just more frustrating than not, I'm not too pressed because I'm not Again, I'm not like I need this final product, but I just thought it could be kind of fun to do something like that.
Peter
23:18
So interesting. So uh I'm gonna share something with you in the chat here. And again, it's not uh to discourage you at all from um But it is to maybe say And this is what I found is Notion is very powerful in that you can make it do a lot of different things.
Aubrey
23:52
Mm-hmm.
Peter
23:52
And I was finding all sorts of different people who'd built things and I watched videos and walked through writing formulae and all this stuff to build these trackers and these databases and get these dashboards. And ultimately I went, oh, but everything I'm trying to make Notion do, there are dedicated apps that do it much, much better and much more cleanly without the fiddling. Okay. And so that's where I kind of moved away. So what I just shared with you is an app called Mela. Yeah. Um I'm gonna show you something. I'm gonna share my screen.
Aubrey
24:29
Okay.
Peter
24:30
And show you why this maybe is something that you might find interesting. Yeah. So Mela is the app that I use to save my recipes in. Okay?
Aubrey
24:45
Yeah.
Peter
24:46
So I have Mela and I have recipes saved here. It has a nice little browser. Where if you go and you find a recipe, it'll do the thing where you can see over here it it parses the page and pulls everything out.
Aubrey
25:00
Oh nice.
Peter
25:01
And you can just hit add this recipe and it'll save it. So it pulls out all the crap, saves the recipe. And then once you have a recipe, it's really easy to go in and you can click here. I'm just kind of showing you adjust Just adjust that however you want and you can see it'll change your Yeah. Um what your you know what your ingredients are.
Aubrey
25:23
Yeah.
Peter
25:24
So um You can you can do all that. But then what you can do is you can come over here and you can say, well, here's my calendar.
Aubrey
25:33
Uh-huh.
Peter
25:34
And you oh and you can click and you can add something what's something I want from my recipe list for breakfast Add that. And then you can add dinner and you can do all this stuff. You can add notes. And then you can come in here and you can say, so you click right here. You go groceries and I have it set up to use reminders as my grocery list. Anyway, but it'll add stuff to your grocery list.
Aubrey
26:01
Oh, very cool.
Peter
26:02
So then you have a list with everything for the full week pulled up and you can kind of go from there. Very cool. Again, play with Notion, and you can certainly start the nice thing is you can start playing with it for free. Um, but I have found in my experience a lot of times They're just there's an application probably made to do what you want it to do, and it's gonna do it better. Now then some people would say, well, but I can use Notion to do all of this stuff. And I go, okay. And if that works for you, great. Yeah. But but I'm like, I would rather use five apps that full ass at what they do instead of one app that half asses everything. That's true. Yeah. So I don't know. Like I say, I'd be really curious to know what your experience is. Um again, I'm not trying to dissuade you from playing with it. Uh I've gone on that journey myself and it still sits in my dock on my Mac. Uh and I look at it and go, I kind of want to use you, but I don't know what to use you for. So that's over it.
Aubrey
27:12
Yeah. Yeah, I just kind of wanted to I kinda just want to get into more like like digital hobbies just because like I love playing around on my iPad and doing computer stuff, even if this computer stuff is not like something productive. It's just like fun 'cause I have
Peter
27:29
the devices that can do cool just things. Come on. You're you're ta who are you talking to?
Aubrey
27:34
Good grief.
Peter
27:36
I fully support that.
Aubrey
27:38
Yeah. So that's definitely something I want to get more into, but The one thing I did also want to ask is a couple months ago we talked about um on a pod What was it called? Like learning blocks or learning quarters? Yeah, so like the learning sprints.
Peter
27:56
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So how's that going for you? You know, it went well uh last at the end of the the last quarter of twenty twenty five. I did a lot of good learning and and sort of work on getting ready to write my next book. Um I have not focused on that as much as I wanted to to really get down to the writing, which is something I was I think it was this morning I was out on a walk and I was like, I need to just say I'm gonna just buckle down and get that done. Um, I was gonna start working on photography at the start of this year. I've just had so many. That's the problem, is I've had so many things going on that I feel like I need to start focusing a little bit better. And so trying to learn yet something new. Other than I mean, I've been doing a lot of things with like using some doing some vibe coding and and really have still been working on learning more. Like The book writing learning spilled over and took a little longer than I was expecting. So I'm still working on that, so I didn't start something new
Aubrey
29:00
Yeah, that's super but still kind of trying to work on that.
Peter
29:04
Let me have something that I'm focusing on for a quarter, whether it's again learning or more of a project. Again, kind of trying to adapt that idea a little bit.
Aubrey
29:13
Yeah, totally.
Peter
29:14
How about you?
Aubrey
29:15
Um, I won't lie, I've not really done the learning sprint I thought I was going to, to be honest. Um, we were me and my mentor were really locked in on trying to finish up my paper and get fully published before um the grad applications were gonna be like looked at so that they could see my application being published. like as a published wai. Um and it unfortunately we barely missed when they um looked at my application. I was not published yet. Dang it. Um so probably a re-roll next year, cause I am literally the first author on an astrophysics paper
Peter
30:01
Yeah.
Aubrey
30:02
That's pretty cool. Sorry. That's cool. He really didn't need to make me the first author. I have no business being the first author, but he really just was like, nope, we'll we'll put you on there. I said, okay, cool. Um So that kind of spilled in because we were trying to finish that up at the beginning of this year. Um but as of February something, um, I did get the um text from my mentor saying that we got our second like rendition or re we revised, resubmitted, um and they accepted us for official publication in the Astrophysics journal. So That is cool. That is now officially published. I kept saying, I feel like on the pod like a million times, like we're about to be published and then we just weren't for like a year later than we were expecting, but that's just how it goes sometimes.
Peter
30:59
That's awesome though. That's very much worth celebrating.
Aubrey
31:02
Yeah. But anyway, so because of that I kind of haven't really and then I got rejected from the grad program for this fall and then I just followed in my self-pity. Um, so I was like, no, I don't wanna go back to d I don't wanna do maths Right now. What's the point? Yeah, I I get that. Like, no, I hate you. Totally fair. They rejected me. I'm not gonna do math. But I think I could see myself trying to pick it back up, but I think I I I made like a plan to do like a pretty locked-in, like three-month sprint sort of thing and I think it just overwhelmed me. I think I just was gonna bite off a little bit more than I could chew. Um I was really trying to like basically review every math concept that has ever that I've ever learned in three months.
Peter
31:57
Um that's that's that's kind of a lot.
Aubrey
31:59
Not really. Not really um The way that that works. Like I was like gonna go back to calc three and then get all the way past partial differential equations in three months. Yeah. So I was like, I don't know. No, that no, let's not do that. Um But I think if I if I just think of it as more of a a hobby and I'm not trying to like rush to like learn something 'cause of like a deadline, like it's just It's just like for fun to keep up my skills sort of thing. Um so I think if I kind of change my mindset a little bit and then I'm I'm more likely to actually do it. But um but yeah I for I was gonna say something and then I forgot.
Peter
32:47
That's all good. I mean that's the thing is and and again that kind of gets back to as I was mentioning with my my theme this year, uh it was a lot of it was giving myself room, giving myself structure to try and improve, but giving myself room to experiment and see what worked and what didn't work. And and I think that that's I think that's important. I think too often We get these ideas that everything has to be just hundred percent locked in goal, you know, we gotta have some if we don't have a specific goal that we're trying to work towards, then anything we're doing is a waste And I don't necessarily agree. I think that it's good for us to have goals. It's good for us to have plans. It's good for but it's also okay for us sometimes to just be like I don't know. I want to check this thing out. I want to try X, Y, or Z and go for it.

Totally. Yeah, and something I kind of realized a little bit more about about myself. Um as I was kind of adding a few more like fitness goals like um with being on the cut and stuff like that. um was that I just really enjoy the process of working towards the goal, not even like necessarily hitting the goal it itself. Like I the the prospect of like the end result isn't necessarily the thing that drives me. It's just the fact that I just enjoy having random things to work towards, whether or not they're You know how how deep or how like important the thing is. It's just fun to have things to work towards. Yeah, totally Which is why I think I liked school so much, cause there's always something to work towards and you're never done. There's always something that you could be doing and probably should be, which, you know, then it's a little too much, but I was gonna say you are not wrong. Um But yeah, I don't know. I'm kind of just yeah, kind of just like playing around with stuff. In terms of like fitness goals, I'm kind of doing that too, or I'm like I've been playing around with different forms of cardio and stuff like that to just kind of like see which things I like better. Um I know you mentioned you were do you did like intervals the other day. Um and I did that this last week and it made the time pass way faster and I was like, wait, this is kinda good. I think I should do this. Nice. Um so yeah, yeah, I'm kinda just kinda just playing around, but I think I'm still pretty aligned with my theme. Um which is good. Like I feel like I I'm doing the things that are yeah, are aligning with my theme. So I'm good I'm I'm good with that. So yeah. Anyways.
Peter
35:36
Well that's that's the key is
Aubrey
35:38
Yeah. Exactly. But is there anything else you wanted to mention?
Peter
35:50
I don't think so. I think that was kind of the my my thoughts. My thoughts for the week.
Aubrey
35:59
Very good. In next time we record I will have an Astro Fact because this week I'm going to do a deep dive on Something. Astrophysical. I haven't decided which thing yet.
Peter
36:14
Very good. I did you know there was lots of there were a number of little kind of help things that floated through my attention. um the last week. There were there were two studies that I saw, one that did show that there, you know, for a long time there's been a question We'll use steps as an example. Uh is getting, let's say, 5,000 steps in a single walk Better or the same as getting 5,000 steps, maybe 500 steps at a time in 10 walks throughout the day, you know, that sort of thing. Uh and there has been some good studies that have shown that actually having a dedicated chunk is better. Like it actually does it it is better. Of course, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't, you know, do smaller little bits when you can, but that if you're looking at, okay, I'm going to set aside time to take five short walks during the day. There is actual benefit to doing one walk that is the same amount of time as all of those totaled.
Aubrey
37:17
Okay. Very good. So love it.
Peter
37:20
So move when you can. Yeah. But that There is benefit and import in having dedicated intentional movement time.
Aubrey
37:32
