Counting Houses


Listen Later

What’s the worst kind of workout humiliation, the kind where your expensive running shoes audibly pop like a balloon mid-treadmill, or the kind where a coach screams about your form while you try not to puke in a warehouse parking lot. A detour through OrangeTheory, CrossFit, and a firefighter-style tire-flip training session turns into a surprisingly honest argument about what “fitness culture” actually rewards, why some people thrive on rejection and constant selling, and why ad pitches can feel like pure math fraud when the time slot is basically for insomniacs and tweakers.

Then the conversation drifts into Stranger Things and whether the ending reads like a real story, a Dungeons and Dragons retcon, or a full “it was all a game” twist, complete with credit-sequence evidence, character survival math, and the kind of nitpicking that only happens when you care too much and still want to complain. From there it becomes a walking tour that turns mildly conspiratorial. “Gary” and “Selena” cut through a quiet neighborhood in Arizona, debate whether it feels haunted or just over-surveilled, clock weird houses and empty streets, and start counting properties like amateur investigators, recalculating the total in real time while trying not to look like they are casing the place.

The side quests include barcoded turtles with questionable names, sidewalk accessibility theories, community pool commentary, and the creeping realization that counting houses is how you get yourself on someone’s doorbell camera montage. It gets increasingly inappropriate in the way real conversations do when nobody is trying to behave. Helen Keller jokes collide with Heelys logistics, poop incidents stack up, noise-canceling headphones become a relationship hazard, and a Fruit Roll-Up debate goes fully off the rails. Add a stairwell smell so bad it becomes a local mystery, an Arizona heat complaint spiral, and a late-game pivot into Medieval Times hype, boozy slushie speculation, dessert martinis, Vegas dinner sticker shock, and wedding venue memories that make expensive burgers feel even more tragic.
