The medieval people were in those rivers! My grandfather’s Irish village was so remote in the mountains they were still living the same way they always had, they’d walk into an empty field to shit, bury it, and then go wash themselves in the stream before going back. My great uncle hated toilets and wanted us a society to return to the old way

Finally catching up on y’all’s episodes but I wanted to say that if you like the smell of a tomato leaf and are into salon haircare, you might really like the NouNou line from Davines!! The shampoo is very lovely

Solovairs are a great alternative to Docs! They’re made in England.

Alex is pronouncing it correctly and yes Kay, pacific as in the Pacific Ocean. The ocean got its name after how turbulent and unnavigable it is due to its weather, thus being named (ironically) the peaceful ocean. Seamen thought they cooked I guess.

is the word kay looking for “hungover” because that makes sense given the context (i’ve never heard of the drunks sleeping over ropes before tho so idk)

I used to work for a historic trails organization and I remember my boss telling me that the Mormon church loves to buy land that has historic value in America (like along the Oregon trail etc) and in my opinion I think it’s cuz they want to make sure that Mormon history is included in education about American history.

I've always had a hard time getting into perfumes because they just smell like rubbing alcohol to me. Is that because I've only smelled shitty, cheap perfume?

Cowboy Grass by D.S. & Durga is fresh, spicy, vegetal. You guys might like it! I bought a full bottle for myself and my fiance and we both really dig it. (So, we are biased lol) Loved this ep, funny and clever as always.

I knew a person who got all her sex ed schooling while in Utah and some of the shit she said was insane

i rllyyyy recommend le jardin retrouvé’s verveine d’ete if u wanna smell like lemon drops. it leans more feminine but if u layer it with something spicier it can also work as unisex
boots
yessssss lowkey i feel like im not getting podcast brainrot likee i feel like im getting educated every episode
connor
actually i think it was just that versailles had like a comically low amount of toilets so bitches were pissing behind pillars.

Sash

Y’all always post right before my brain stem is about to snap and it’s like a bandaid and a kiss on the forehead

re: sports medicine and exercise, while a lot of it is more about money and things are inconclusive about diet —studies have been done and show exercise is the best way to prevent cognitive decline (which is OBVIOUSLY so different from all the shit about protein bars and muscles and raw meat) Tbh i think it’s more sports gurus than sports medicine doctors. and fat phobic people

As a Montanan, I completely agree with the Yellowstone hate.

Lilac is the one flower scent I am just purely obsessed with. Havent found a good fragrance version yet. Nothing seems to replicate those prized 2 weeks in the spring when the lilacs are in bloom
Avery
