Lint, known for being from clothes. Famous for being on clothes. Let me get a roller. Nobody thinks much about it, so a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more interesting than people think it is. My name's Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone. I'm joined by my co-host Katie Golden. Katie. Yes. What is your relationship to or opinion of Lint? So we're talking about lint the stuff you find in your pockets hopefully not

your belly button keep that clean um oh it'll happen got it you got to get in there you got to

clean that thing out because who knows what's hiding in there lint legos i have unfortunately learned what's high to get there, but go out. Go on. It's cool.

Yeah, I'm a little, I'm, I'm like, I'm ready to learn, but I'm also a little nervous because I feel like I'm

going to learn some really gross stuff about Lent. Because like I assume I assume a lot of it is, like, biological.

Like, a lot of Lent is probably fibers, but there's got to be, like, human stuff in it.

Yeah.

Try not to think about it.

But now I, now I'm going to think about it for an hour and a half, and then I'll stop

thinking about it again. Yeah, this, I don't think it'll be a gross out time. Oh, good. But maybe I'm just comfortable with lint. I don't know. But it's very textile. Yeah. But I don't have percentages or anything, but lintz is much more of just clothing material. Dust is more like schmutz and cells and stuff.

Lint is mostly just clothes.

Right.

But pieces of it.

Yeah, I guess lint is probably a little more fiber-based.

Yeah.

My least favorite thing is when I'm wearing a sweater and I'm trying to pick off what I

think is lint and it's still attached to the dang

sweater because it's actually just a little pilling of the sweater and then like I'm tugging at it

and it's not coming off and then if I tugged too hard the entire sweater unravels into a pile of

yarn. It makes sense. I've never really understood how to combat lint.

It just shows up.

It gets on stuff.
