Watching what you've gone through makes me appreciate you so much more. Amazing job

    If you wipe and proper put back clothes and then also walked away before pooping anew, yes then it is 2 poops. Only when you were ready to live your life normally in between poops, then they are multiple poops - no matter the time passed. In all other cases, I would say it is 1 poop with some extra steps, because you were not ready to resume non-poop life again. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

    • @johnherd1002
      @johnherd1002 9 месяцев назад

      I think when wiping you're telling yourself round 1 has ended. Round 2 is a brand new day, brand new poop

    It's hard to picture just how many hours per day you are running Russ, I'd love a video showing a full one of your 20K's or something, just so we as an audience can get an idea of how grueling just one part of your day is. Of course a running commentary would be asking a lot from someone who is already doing so much, but it would also be fascinating to see how you motivate yourself to keep going when you hit a wall (and seeing how close those bloody trucks get to you too!) - all the best fella
