00:00how you been how you doing everything good great i missed you okay so pebbles actually had a
00:06question and it is something that i've heard of i've just never heard of because everything has
00:10a term these days i've never heard it referred to as the the term that she's going to say but
00:14it's something that you know you might be able to you might want to incorporate in your life if
00:19you're somebody who gets overwhelmed with tasks or like tends to procrastinate or whatever i have
00:26never heard of this term it used in this way but body doubling so and i don't even know how
00:33long
00:33it's been around but i did it this past weekend okay so apparently it's like this strategy to help
00:41with productivity when you're like you mentioned being overwhelmed or you just have trouble getting
00:50things done with procrastination like oh that is me but so what you do is you get together with
00:58other people i i don't know if it's more than one it can be one person maybe a group of
01:03people where
01:03you just kind of all bring the stuff you need to get done and you do it together yeah and
01:09you don't
01:10have to like talk to each other about it but if the resource is there if you need it and
01:15you just
01:15kind of get things done i've heard of that because i have a friend of you know we have i
01:22i'm in a group
01:23of friends and uh one of them's just going through a lot very overwhelmed with things work and personal
01:29or whatever and she's just like i just am having trouble getting things done so we were like well
01:33we'll come over and you know we'll help and we have things that we need to do too and so
01:40we just like
01:41got stuff done we had like we're all in a korean class together so you know a couple of us
01:47were
01:48doing some of the homework for for class and you know the other one was working on like a to
01:54-do list
01:55of all you know like when you have to just dump things out of your head and just get them
01:59out
01:59and she's like writing down all the things she needs to do upcoming for work and so it just i
02:06it's like what took me so long to find this because i really do think that it's helpful
02:11it's helpful it's just sounds counterintuitive because normally like you hang out with your
02:16friends to as a respite from all the crap that you have to do you know what i'm saying yeah
02:21body doubling by the way is a terrible term for that yeah when you asked if we had heard of
02:26it
02:27i was like is it something like catfishing is it like yeah pretending to be yeah yeah when you said
02:32you did it with your friend i'm like yo you pretended to be one of your friends and she like
02:35you know what i mean basically like you don't want to be alone doing the stuff that you're doing you
02:40know i've heard i forget what the what i heard it referred to as but it was you know people
02:46who
02:47were like oh whatever i gotta i have a bunch of bills i have to pay another person's like oh
02:52i i
02:53you know whatever they want to book their vacation and they'll get together like at a starbucks or
02:57something like that and start doing it you know what i mean and and it's it's um it's again it
03:04sounds
03:05like it would never work i think you need one person who's kind of like all right guys let's
03:10focus let's focus and let's do this but it was like we still you know we started at like a
03:18cafe
03:18you know had some snacks and drinks and whatever and then we went back to one friend's house and
03:23you know we started working got stuff done then we took a break and we ordered food and then we
03:29did
03:29some more it was like yeah like i don't always feel like i have to be around people to get
03:36stuff
03:37done but i really found it helpful yeah did you all sit at the same table or did you go
03:43to separate
03:43rooms it was like one was on a chair over here one was on the couch i was on the
03:47floor it was just like
03:49yeah yeah and i always feel like i need to be like kind of sitting at a desk to get
03:57stuff done
03:57right and the fact i'm that way too is that weird like i don't think it's weird but sitting at
04:04an
04:04actual desk that kind of makes you a little bit more i don't know if it's creative or just
04:09like i'm gonna get stuff done today yeah rather than i don't know what anytime i'm doing any like
04:14video editing or anything like on my phone if i'm on my couch or something i just feel like i
04:18can't do
04:18it but if i'm at a desk it gets done yeah it is it's weird but the fact that i
04:23was able to do it
04:24like on the floor was it was it just felt off to me but i don't know why did you
04:33lose the furniture
04:33battle no i actually wanted to be on the floor yeah were you laying on your stomach with kicking
04:40your legs up behind you at certain times yes cross applesauce i did that too or just like spreading
04:47your legs out with all your stuff in the middle of you did you need help to stand up when
04:51you wanted
04:51to stand somebody give me a boost yeah no it's like tuck and roll my back could be all screwed
04:57up mel do you have a desk in your apartment no that explains a lot actually wait a minute no
05:02i
05:02take that away i do i have a vanity it's a it's a pretty one it's all mirrors oh i
05:06use it for my
05:06makeup and skincare stuff but it is a desk oh i would never get anything done if i had a
05:10mirror
05:10in front of me oh it's so nice just watching yourself right exactly yeah what the hell's the term
05:16i heard it referred to as but yeah they're they're yeah it's something that another one
05:22term yeah i mean it's you know it's it makes sense if you think about it because think about all
05:28the
05:29stuff right like especially now with like the internet and stuff like that you have like all
05:33these random groups now that people join in because they're like oh other people like doing
05:36this stuff too and you have people from all walks of life and they'll get together and
05:40you know sometimes it's something you know constructive like that other times it's
05:45you know a bunch of business men getting together to have sex with horses that really happens um
05:50what seriously that went left mr hands what are you talking about you never heard of the documentary
05:56mr hands mr hands you never heard about that no so you actually watch the documentary like that
06:02um i mostly so wow no wonder your algorithm so this was honestly this was pre-facebook it was
06:12maybe my space was it was the early 2000s and it happened in washington state and a random guy was
06:24like dropped off like in front of the emergency room like they drove up a car threw him out of
06:30the car
06:30they didn't even bring him in and drove off uh the man ended up dying from a basically like his
06:38his
06:38colon was like exploded like perforated oh my god yeah so they investigated and they found this a farm
06:48and they went to this farm and they found all these videotapes of dudes stop getting it on with horses
06:57no yeah and they invested it you tell me stuff like this because maybe your body doubling will
07:04eventually turn no no i don't want it to lead to that so they ended up finding out though that
07:10all
07:10these guys would get together there were like high-end business guys like ceos all that stuff
07:14from all over the country would meet up at this farmhouse and do this and my first thought was
07:24at what point do you go there and you're just like bsing with these dudes like oh how's the family
07:30how's work oh we're doing great our third quarter profits were amazing yada yada yada yada and then
07:35like who's the guy that breaks the ice and goes right so we're gonna we're gonna fuck some horses or
07:41what oh my god and there's a video of the horse it was it was because the horse penetrated the
07:46dude
07:46and it was a horse so it was you know it wrecked them i'm sick and his and his horse
07:55fucking buddies
07:56that didn't want to stay with them at the emergency room why do you know this pebbles i go down
08:03some
08:03rabbit holes sometimes i think the documentary i believe it's called mr hands let me see there's a
08:08documentary yeah if you if you're ever interested in watching it uh mr hands what oh it's called zoo
08:18sorry it's called zoo not even close it examines well hold on it examines the 2005 death of kenneth
08:24pinion aka mr hands a boeing engineer who died from a perforated colon after engaging in bestiality
08:32with a stallion in unum claw washington it explores the hidden lives of men involved in the local
08:38bestiality scene without sensational without without sensationalizing the crime aiming for a
08:44dreamy artistic portrayal yeah so there you go so when you want something to watch nope it won't be
08:50that zoo zoo streaming i will never be bored enough to watch that that is not a good title for
08:58something
