What Are Things You Don’t REALLY Have To Do By The Book?

For my favorite voicemail this week, we had a caller ask what some things are out there that we’re told to do a certain way, but we don’t actually have to do them like that? This caller brought up the point of having to go to the dentist every six months. As long as you’re brushing your teeth, flossing, and not living like a complete neanderthal, that feels a bit like overkill to me. If anything the dentist and doctor should be flipped. Give me a physical and some bloodwork every six months to make sure this machine is running smoothly. The teeth can wait an extra six months.

Are they still telling kids the whole “You have to be active for 60 minutes a day” thing? There was a whole generation of kids who were being bombarded daily by Dwyane Wade on Disney Channel to get up and play for 60 minutes a day while we were all sat on the couch, eating a pack of Gushers, and watching Kim Possible. Joel Embiid and Paul George aren’t playing 60 minutes a day and they’re getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars to do it. Do you really think I’m gonna do it for free? Put me down for 30 minutes on a good day.

The last one, and the BIGGEST crock of shit…people that say you just have to get eight hours of sleep if you want to survive. Uhhh…have you ever heard of a little thing called cocaine energy drinks? Have a sniff sip of one of those babies on four hours of sleep and you’re fine. Rub some dirt on it.
