Woo! I got a shoutout! Interesting and entertaining as always. Had a good laugh afterwards telling my mum what specifically she's allergic to in dust.

[@johnnyrasputin4819]

Hank's headphones have that "Cyberman" look. 👍

[@ponyote]

Tuna looks a lot like I thought he would. Thanks for all of the great audio engineering!

[@chillsahoy2640]

And it's always nice to get audio advice from the experts! A friend of mine does a lot of audio recording for work, both in studio and on location, so he had some super detailed advice for the best microphones and headphones, taking your budget into account too. Thanks, audio folks! You are responsible for some real magic.

[@screwaccountnames]

Fun fact: In German, vacuum cleaners are indeed called dust suckers (Staubsauger).

[@angelapie]

Same in swedish! "Dammsugare"

[@traditionalnative]

ANTIBABYPILLEN Is by far one of my favorite words in any language lmao

[@Alfonso162008]

And in Spanish (well, at least in Latin America. I'm not 100% sure if they use the same word in Spain) it's just called "sucker" ("aspiradora")

[@unnamellie]

Same in russian

[@Falany]

Same in Dutch! Stofzuiger

[@l.u.c.a.s.]

Did not expect to hear Ceri and Hank's impression of a British accent when I clicked on this video. Thankful I stayed till the end.

[@TheOnyxFlame]

Hank sounded a bit Dutch to me at the end

[@shadebug]

As a british person I'd say hoover is more a verb than it is a noun. Like, you would hoover with a vacuum cleaner or maybe hoover with your Dyson or your Henry but you're less likely to call it a hoover

[@aaran2329]

Oh I live in Scotland I feel like everyone calls the object a hoover

[@IstasPumaNevada]

I haven't found headphones that I like without question yet, so I'm always open to new suggestions. So I looked up the model Tuna mentioned, and gee, they look awfully familiar... I take the headphones off my head and they're the ones I'm already using.

I don't know how it's possible to bring up minion piss again but here it is

[@teknophyle1]

not sure about the sponsors this week. I'm really not a fan of companies that don't pay their workforce fairly. doordash doesn't tell you that they pay drivers below the poverty line and leave their ability to pay their bills up to customer generosity. But drivers are also contractors that are expected to absorb the expenses of making your delivery. But maybe worse, they also use deceptive tricks to get drivers to accept orders for less money. There's no transparency to drivers or customers about this. to be fair to DD, that is probably true of all the other services as well.

[@kfrommirrorland]

Also, how are those two sponsors environmentally friendly?😮

[@Katie-hh9eu]

The fact that shust exists makes me very glad that I have a robot litter box. I think it is weirdly the favorite thing I've ever bought and this just confirms that.

[@susanegley4149]

I love spiders! Spiders are tiny superheroes!

[@AnnaReed42]

Unfortunately I have both a low physical tolerance for dust (I touch something dusty and I break out in hives) and a low tolerance for dusting (because it is itchy and I have ADHD and clutter). So I basically can't touch a lot of surfaces in my house because they're dusty, but my brain and my skin won't allow me to remove the dust.

[@zeratulrus142]

How is the process of dusting itchy? Is you mean those fluffy things, they just spread dust around, use a wet towel instead

[@AnnaReed42]

@@zeratulrus142 I think you may have missed that I have a dust allergy. The dust itself makes me itchy.

[@MossyBear]

thanks for answering the question that made my college chemistry teacher tell me "that's above my pay grade"

[@elainebelzDetroit]

I witnessed a very weird tradition some years ago when I was working as a verger in a San Francisco cathedral. Apparently, head vergers in various cathedrals had this thing about mailing each other the "firch" from their cathedrals - dust bunnies. I learned this when our head verger received some once, & I guess he put it with other samples he'd been sent before. I'd say I hope the tradition has ended, but in a way, I don't. It's just so weird, it's probably worth continuing?

[@RoundHouseDictator]

Since getting married, Hank has discovered that he has a superpower where there's no dust around him 🤨

[@sidoniegabrielle269]

ahhh i see what you mean. allergic to his wife, he sneezes the dust away

[@hannahbrown2728]

​@@sidoniegabrielle269 Haha a I hate my wife joke what is this the 90's?

[@mustwereallydothis]

I don't know about this theory... I got married too, but the dust didn't go anywhere. Perhaps not all husbands acquire that superpower.

[@Delightedly]

My husband once said that it was weird how our bathroom always stayed so much cleaner than our (two dudes in college) friends bathroom did. He realized his mistake when I whirled with my jaw on the floor. He had apparently been assuming we were just like… cleaner living than our friends, even with our two dogs. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I will NEVER stop teasing him about it, and he admits that he does deserve it for the number of years he went just assuming it was magically clean.

[@mustwereallydothis]

@Delightedly Very early in out marriage, I asked my husband how often he cleaned his toilet when he had lived alone. His answer blew my mind. "I guess I've never lived anywhere long enough to need to clean the toilet. 😳😱🤢🤮

[@Anonymous-m9f9j]

This whole thing was cute as fk thanks for the personal chemistry and laughs

[@Darkflowerchyld718]

Sometimes while I'm struggling to deal with the dust on my ceilings I think of the dust on the Moon and I'm grateful it's only Earth dust I'm dealing with and not Moon dust. Thank you science for helping me put the small things in perspective 😅

[@Leabluebell]

Hank saying that neither he or anyone else cleans his office yet there hasn't been any dust there since he got married is precious. Like honey no, SOMEONE definitely clean it! 😂

[@justinweatherford8129]

When I was growing up there was dust everywhere. One of my weekly chores was to dust off the horizontal surfaces in our house. Now without dusting for years while living in the same city I never see dust.

[@sidoniegabrielle269]

the irony of me listening to this while i avoid vacuuming is not lost on me. and i should go get my new favorite headphones which are bone conduction headphones! that don't go in or over my ears so i can hear everything around me (very helpful for being outside not to have direct auditory muffling, also helpful for me because indoors using noise cancellation or reduction headphones i cannot hear fuckall around me and lose control of my vocal volume and general awareness which is inconvenient for both myself and the people & animals around me. can't say they're perfect for everyone but they are great headphones, like $140 which is pretty comparable to most airpod and over-ear fancy headphones. they use a similar technology to several kinds of hearing aids! which is neat. it's kinda you hear the sounds all clear inside your head through vibration but you're not plugging or covering your ear with anything so the rest of the world doesn't disappear from your hearing when you use them, but they can still be louder than the world in a way. i'm not sponsored by big bone conduction i just really enjoy them, and am still avoiding cleaning by writing this

[@markedis5902]

In the UK vacuum cleaner and hoover are interchangeable. It’s a bit like calling a ball point pen a biro or calling anything by the most popular brand name of the item

[@chippercorgi2247]

I can't get over the fact that Huber Cecil Booth managed to put an engine on a wagon and decided the best way to move it around was with a horse... he was *this* close to inventing the automobile.

[@Alfonso162008]

Well, he started his services in 1901, which is pretty early in the automobile era, but cars definitely already existed.

[@chippercorgi2247]

@@Alfonso162008 For some reason I thought this was in the 1800s, my bad. I do still find the concept of a horse-drawn engine to be innately hilarious though.

[@Alfonso162008]

@@chippercorgi2247 don't worry, I did have to look up the exact year when he started because they didn't mention it in the episode (and I didn't want to look like a fool if I corrected you with the wrong facts 😅).

[@shadebug]

I'm a big fan of the audiotechnica m50xsts. M50s are already very standard headphones so very easy to get new covers for etc and the mic on it is an at2020 which is standard first voice over mic. Add to that that it comes in either USB or XLR/TRS version and you really can't go wrong if you want good headphones with a built in mic

[@markedis5902]

Beyer DT770 are the headphones you’ll find in every recording studio on earth.

We use Skullcandy Plyr headsets, we also have destructive dogs and birds that throw these, knock them off, and fall onto the floor more times we can count. We recommend these - they are simple construct, light, and sound amazing. :D

[@mooncowtube]

Look, here in the UK we do indeed call vacuum cleaners "hoovers", a genericised word from the Hoover company which was one of the early makers of household vacuum cleaners, and we talk about hoovering the house, or hoovering things up. BUT we don't GOTTA call them hoovers! We understand the phrase "vacuum cleaner" just fine Hank, and use that phrase just plenty too.

Acid sweat. Oof. I went through so many leather watch bands in middle/high school before I figured this out.

The surest sign that Twitter didn't plan its rebrand for very long, is that the website branding changed a couple days before the app branding. No way would those have been so out of sync if they had actually planned it.

open-box Sehnheiser wireless headphones = you can go to the kitchen or other areas and still listen to a video / podcast

[@GuanoLad]

Brits do indeed call their vacuum cleaners "Hoovers" which is a popular brand name that gained pop culture dominance, but more interestingly it has recently been superseded by a new dominant brand name and consequently they often call them a "Dyson" now. In my youth in New Zealand, the vacuum brand name Electrolux was popular, so vacuuming was commonly called "Luxing".

[@amosbackstrom2699]

Speaking of sucking popcorn off you hand, has anyone tried the vacuum popper? We need to find out the lowest temperature that corn will pop in a vacuum. Moreover, we need to find the highest temperature that corn will pop under pressure. Then we need a controlled taste test to determine what conditions produce the best popcorn. I find it extremely unlikely that the best popcorn can be produced under standard conditions😂
