PatPod 32. Pushups and Pillows
Melissa goes to a yoga class in a winter storm, Taha is on his way to 100 push ups, and Sabrina has learned to get out of bed in the morning.
Yes, it's deeply unfortunate that we talk about fitness right after our previous episode on the linkedin hustle, but this is the Grind™ (AIP edition).

TAHA SOUNDS HORRIBLIE
I don't use flat sheets, so not taking a stance there...but duvet covers are full of infuriating classist vibes. Your blankets should not need expensive fucking onesies to be "usable". The fuck. No. It's not a pillow in a pillowcase. That's not even getting into how much they love to fold and crumple and not stay spread out evenly within their luxury onesies, making them less usable. (Does it show that I, long ago in a mall far far away, worked in a Bed Bath & Beyond?)
Working in a BBB was absolutely awful. Every time I see expensive house items I get a mini flashback to someone screaming about a coupon. I stand by the idea that fuzzy, fur, thick winter blankets are one of the best bedding choices ever. HOWEVER, I do have to say all of the above options have worked for me. A bed is a bed. Toss me a fluffy pillow and a towel and I'd be fine sleeping on the floor.
Taha sounds horrible, he should go back to the old one
I've never related to Taha so much as right now. The spreadsheet is the fun of it, and somehow the rest follows. I was actually excited to start the day 2 set this morning
So what we've learned today, class, is that Sabrina is some kind of sentient cave slug, Taha can be made to do anything as long as he gets to keep track of it in a spreadsheet, and every time Melissa tells some goofy story about wandering the desert or whatever she was actually Bear Gryllsing it up hardcore style but she's so strong from buying groceries in bulk that she doesn't notice. Also the phrase "going to a kickboxing class and rock climbing" made me imagine that Sabrina goes to a kickboxing class and then starts rock climbing there. Anyway y'all had me in stitches, well done.
sentient cave slug is a very potent image
Laurence at Lost In The Pond on YouTube has an episode covering the American use of top sheets versus the European convention of Duvet covers. https://youtube.com/watch?v=DQWNxBiSqOo&t=316&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
