  Speaker 1: Hey, it's time for stacks and hacks. I have stacks
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of information. Rich has life hacks. This is very, very
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: important information. According to a report, the most popular beer
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in America, Michelob Ultra.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The least popular beer is Milwaukee's Best Ice. Beer drinkers,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: according to new research, smoking. actually leads to increased loneliness.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: So you actually do become lonelier over time as a smoker.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I get it. I think it's because there's more people
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that aren't smokers.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: That would make sense.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: So they stay away from you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Sitting there all by yourself outside of your building, just smoking, pacing.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Get this. A contemporary art exhibition took an unexpected turn
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: last week when an art collector offered $ 4, 000. She saw
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: some art. I want that piece. That's $ 4, 000. I'll give
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you $ 4, 000 for it. Turned out it was a broken
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner from the janitorial staff on the corner. It
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: wasn't even a piece of art.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Did they sell it? I'm sure they sold it. That
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: would be embarrassing.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this is going to turn into
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a Disney movie or not, but 101 cats were found
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: inside a home in Washington State. 101 cats. Oh, my gosh.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: In one house?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some hoarder. No way.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: That smells good in there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going to call this Unfortunate Ways to Die number one.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: A man who just celebrated his 40th year wedding anniversary
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and retirement passed away in a freak car accident involving
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: 10 feral hogs.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, what? Yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He must have crashed into them and they must have
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: something like that and he died.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: That's sad.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to call this Unfortunate Ways to Die number two.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: A 43-year-old influencer died after undergoing... junk enlargement surgery in Thailand.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I saw that on Instagram trending. Yeah, I saw that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah. And he was like with his fiance like
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: on a trip. I know. Just like enjoying.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: That's so scary. And this sounds bad what I'm about
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to tell you. In fact, I went and had sushi
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the other night after reading this story. Scientists found parasites
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in almost every fish from a recent tuna hole. 96%
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of the tuna was infected.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? You know, my friend refuses to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: eat sushi anymore.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Because of that? Yeah. I saw that survey. I brought
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it up at dinner with my friends, and they, two
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of them still, well, his wife wouldn't eat sushi, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we still did.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Doesn't that why they bring out the wasabi and the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: ginger to kill some of the bacteria? I don't know.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That's what that's kind of originally for.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we have officially entered the BRR months, September, October, November, December.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So a post on social media is going viral because
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I guess these last four months of the year, the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: end of the day is like 30, 31, 30, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: 31 days, right? So it's difficult to keep track for
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: some people, they say. So a post on social media
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is going viral where someone says, it's kind of dumb
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that months are different lengths. 365 should be divided into
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: five equal months of 73 days each. February, April, August, October,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and December.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's everything we're looking for. I can't get down with that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Millions of people saw the post. It attracted 40,000 likes
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and comments and more if you just count the accounts
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that are sharing it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why are we doing stuff stupid? Do it smart
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I figure if Trump can go ahead and change Lake
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Ontario to Lake America and to Gulf America, maybe he
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: can shorten up the years a little bit. Isn't that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: wild that it's going viral like that? What do you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: have for life hacks?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You're right. It doesn't make sense. Well, yeah, this is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: for procrastinators because a lot of people say, I would
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: love to get to your life hacks, but I just
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: don't feel like it because I'm a procrastinator. So here
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is a good midweek thing for you. Now, if you
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: see you've got a huge pile of work in front
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of you and you're doing everything except actually starting it,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the four-minute rule. Do you guys know what the four-minute
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: rule is? Set your little alarm on your clock for
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: four minutes. Then you just start procrastinating. something like open
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the document, make the call, start cleaning, whatever it is,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and say in four minutes, I'm going to stop because
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the trick is starting is often the hardest part. Once
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you're four minutes in, you've pretty much broken through the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: procrastination wall and it's a whole lot easier to keep going.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: You're probably going to decide to keep on going unless
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of course you just stop, which is, you know, your
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: prerogative too. And if you want to start reading your
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: life hack and stopping right in the middle of it,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: we will post it at johnjandrich.com.
