See, I solved this in a different way.

Yeah. Well, so that's OK. Yeah. So one of them. Yes. One of them is my favorite socks are from former sponsor Marine Layer. And they they're one of those things where, like, you know, they'll have like five pairs of socks in stock at any given time. And they just rotate out all the time. So you kind of have to buy them if you see them, if you like them.

So you kind of have to buy them if you see them, if you like them.
And so as a result, I have all sorts of different socks from Marine Layer. And I try never to buy two of the same pair. So I actually don't have two identical sets of the same socks except for the summer short socks, which is just like some big Adidas bulk pack of ankle socks I bought. So far, those are just so interchangeable that it doesn't really matter. They're just all a bunch of gray socks.

There aren't, not for those. But the other thing is what really dramatically shrinks the time for any kind of laundry folding, especially with socks, is I used to do the service to my family of turning them all the right way as part of this process.

Well, if you ball the socks up, it kind of doesn't matter whether they're inside or not. And so I've decided that when I remove my clothing, not to get TMI listeners, but when I remove my clothing, I leave it in the laundry. The right side in or out or whatever. So my laundry does not have to be turned back because I am conscientious on the way into the machine.

So I say so all my laundry comes out for the most part the right way. So my socks are all the right way. And the rest of my family's socks, I just fold them exactly the way they left them.

Yes, that's what, well, yeah, when I take my own clothes off and put them in the laundry, that's what I do. But the rest of my family, hey, they can do what they want to do. They're people. It's America, man.

No, I mean, I think honestly, I think that was intentional. Like when Apple launched this, they did so extremely quietly and kind of like holding their arm out all the way like at arm's length. Like here, you guys just like take this. Like I don't think they want a ton of people to know about this and they certainly don't want their brand associated with it.
