#063 - “Public Figure” in Your Facebook Name Is Criminal

from Pulling Threads · host Alex Cleary

Someone out there is deadset calling themselves a “public figure” on Facebook, in their actual name. Not the bio, not the grey little tag, the name. We saw it, nearly threw up, and had to unpack what kind of person does that, and why it feels so criminal. Before we get there though, we kick off with the post-challenge slump, Strava tax drama, and Troy getting absolutely rinsed for butchering the Swiss Army Knife “doctor’s ABCD”, so we made him an AI jingle like the petty blokes we are. Then we go on a proper tangent about trailers, jet skis, and the weird things men think make you useful or pathetic. Harry of the Week is unreal, a 13-year-old swims 4km and runs 2km to save his family, and it turns into a full reality check on what you are capable of when it’s life or death. We also talk crewing at MVP, how everyone looks fine but feels cooked, and why backyard ultras are way more tactical and mental than most people realise, especially if you want to go deep.Then we finish with “stingy or smart” from Reddit, including the bloke stealing single-ply toilet paper from work as his share house contribution, mine site food theft, and what people get sacked for vs what they get away with. You’ll either agree, argue, or feel personally attacked.
