How the hell do you guys have the time to watch so many shows, even retired…

Bad Monkey was 8 episodes - an easy weekend binge, especially at 1.25 speed.

And, condo.
And, no kids.
And, no dog walking.

I often thing the same thing about people who listen to podcasts.

Headphones… Walking the dog? Put on the headphones. Chores around the house? Headphones. Wife wants to have a serious discussion? Headphones.

Dog died years ago.

House chores? Practically none to mention, other than cooking and emptying cat litter.

Serious discussions? We passed that phase about 7 years ago.

My hearing aids are bluetooth enabled, though. THat's what I do for audiobooks.

Saw where apple is going to get into the hearing aid business, in some form or fashion.

The AirPods are already hearing-aid compatible.

The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved Apple's new "Hearing Aid Feature" which will amplify sounds for people with perceived mild to moderate hearing impairment. The Apple feature, coming this fall via a free software update, will only work with AirPods Pro 2 ear buds and iOS 18-compatible iPhones or iPads. It is intended for adults 18 or older.

I wouldn't consider them because they're too bulky and obvious.

i listen during exercise and cooking or other work that doesn’t need full focus. In the summer a couple hours a day on a bike too. It adds up.

I listen to podcasts while practicing piano. Except for the ones with background music, which is a surprising number. Interview style podcasts are the safest bet.
