Episode notes
Butts Evolved For Upright Walking
- Human gluteal anatomy evolved as specialized muscles to support upright, bipedal locomotion.
- As legs converged at the top, a pronounced butt is the efficient structural result.
DIY Production Explains Audio Differences
- John records on a phone and edits video on a trackpad, which explains poorer audio/video quality.
- The brothers accept a modest, DIY production style as part of being longtime creators.
Prioritize Safety When Pets Escape
- If an animal escapes during a delivery, prioritize safety and avoid escalating the situation rather than heroic chases.
- Consider communicating precisely to the owner afterwards instead of pretending not to have seen it.
