0:00Hello and welcome back to your favorite
0:01educational podcast, where it's hot
0:03outside. At a time so climatically
0:04volatile and perilous as this, I believe
0:07it's appropriate to share with you a
0:08short haiku I wrote.
0:14Public health advice, stay safe during a
0:17heatwave. It's cool to be cool.
0:22Being cool is the sum of its
0:23counterparts, looking cool and feeling
0:26cool. And in today's episode, as the
0:27northern hemisphere dwellers reach the
0:29middle of summer, I would like to say I
0:30firstly recognize that I'm a little bit
0:32off schedule, what with the United
0:34Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
0:35Ireland experiencing a 35° heatwave this
0:38year in spring.
0:40Um,
0:41that is spring of
0:44drip, drip, drop, little April showers,
0:46rough winds, do you shake the darling
0:48buds of May? And for anyone who uses
0:50Fahrenheit, who does not understand the
0:51temperature at which water boils and
0:53freezes, on that day, England was hotter
0:55than Egypt, Algeria, and Libya, where
0:58you might find the Sahara Desert. With
1:00all this reason to become educated in
1:01the art, philosophy, and physics of
1:03dressing to survive the biblical
1:04intensity of the impending summer, you
1:06are all starting to watch the summer
1:08episode I made last year. Nevertheless,
1:10I find one of the benefits of having a
1:12glass half empty pessimism is that you
1:14are never disappointed. I say this
1:15because one of you decided to ruin the
1:17fun for everyone and rat me out to
1:19YouTube. For whatever reason, I'm not
1:21really sure what possible problem you
1:22could have with my podcast, but alas,
1:24YouTube restricted my video and
1:26demonetized it. And then when I had the
1:28audacity to ask why, apparently, a human
1:32checked it and decided it was incredibly
1:34offensive and could not be seen on the
1:36internet,
1:37um, and removed it.
1:40So, that's gone, but don't worry. I I'm
1:42never disappointed. My expectations were
1:44just met. However, we are now left with
1:46a gap in the syllabus that I feel it is
1:48my duty to fill. As such, we gather here
1:50today to impart knowledge on one
1:51another, as we do best on this channel.
1:53So, never fear, watch this much better
1:55video on how to be cool during the balmy
1:58summer of 2026 and I'll leave out the
2:00part about how to waterboard yourself.
2:02Just in case.
2:06>> Oh.
2:08Ah.
2:09Mhm.
2:10That's it. I'm not going.
2:13>> Part one, how to look cool. When it is
2:15hot, we sweat. Sweat evaporates off your
2:17skin to keep you cool. I think now more
2:19than ever people have somewhat of a
2:21grasp of how this cools us down as it is
2:23impossible not to have a conversation
2:25with someone without debating ethics and
2:26concerns of AI. And rather than taking
2:29the time to understand how our own body
2:31works, we seem to only now be realizing
2:33that water can be used to cool stuff.
2:35And even then I still believe there's
2:37some way to go from realizing to
2:39understanding because AI is still being
2:41aggressively debated on its water usage.
2:44But never fear, this is absolutely not
2:45conversation about AI. But for those of
2:47you who like to fight strangers on the
2:49internet for using chat GPT based on an
2:51internet analogy, imagine you are chat
2:53GPT.
2:55Heaven forbid. And the sweat is the two
2:56bottles of water needed to cool you down
2:58after responding to a prompt. You may
3:00think at this point I'm being facetious,
3:02which
3:03is no change whatsoever. But the reason
3:05why I say I don't believe the internet
3:07truly understands sweating is because
3:09I'm finding that right now the focus of
3:11a lot of beauty, health and wellness
3:12content is advice and product
3:14recommendations on how to stop sweating.
3:17>> This is a hygiene tip for all the sweaty
3:18girls and guys out there. You need to
3:20get yourself this 7-lb product. It's
3:22called Dry Control and it's basically an
3:23antiperspirant solution. If you are
3:25someone who sweats a lot, this is a
3:27lifesaver.
3:27>> Can you use this for sweaty hands,
3:29sweaty feet, sweaty pits? Apply it to
3:30dry skin and it will stop you from
3:32sweating for days.
3:33>> There is a current surge of content from
3:35dermatologists and other medical doctors
3:37recommending medical-grade
3:38antiperspirants to stop you from
3:40sweating. And the comment sections are
3:42filled with people saying
3:44oh, this doesn't work and also my skin
3:45is peeling off. And that's because you
3:47see the doctor when you are sick,
3:49not when you're hot. Remember there is a
3:5135° heatwave going on outside. If you
3:54sweat when you are hot, you are not
3:55sick. You are hot. This is not for you.
3:58And before you say, "Yeah, well, I have
3:59hyperhidrosis." Actually, fine. I
4:02approve this message. If you are
4:04actually sick, of course this is
4:06appropriate. If you have hyperhidrosis,
4:08see a doctor. Do not try stuff from the
4:10pharmacy department of TikTok shop.
4:12Anyway, at the same time, the other side
4:14of the internet is saying, "Everyone
4:15sweats. Embrace the beauty of the
4:17natural human body." Understanding that
4:19you sweat when you're hot, but
4:20neglecting the idea that natural doesn't
4:22necessarily mean beautiful.
4:24Pooping is natural. Everyone poops.
4:28Except me, because that's disgusting.
4:29But there's a reason why toilet cubicles
4:31have doors on them.
4:33Once you get over yourself and realize
4:35you do not need to poop with the door
4:36open just to prove a point, and you do
4:38not have a medical condition, it's just
4:39hot outside, you can watch the rest of
4:41this video and we can begin to consider
4:43what course of action to take when
4:45trying to be cool. When you sweat, the
4:47color of your shirt darkens if your
4:49sweat touches your shirt before it has
4:50time to evaporate off your skin. The
4:52academic term for this, I believe, is a
4:54pit stain. Assuming this is true, the
4:56simplest method, of course, to combat
4:57this is to wear a shirt that doesn't
4:59touch your pit skin. By doing this, you
5:01stay cool in two ways. You look cool,
5:03being pit stain-free, and you also feel
5:05cool, because your sweat actually has
5:07the opportunity to evaporate off your
5:08skin rather than soak into the fabric of
5:10your shirt. Fashion choices you might
5:12want to consider if this is a method of
5:14being cool you wish to adhere to
5:16include, but are not limited to, the
5:17spaghetti strap, the halter neck, the
5:20muscle tank, and the oversized t-shirt
5:22where the sleeve seam sits below your
5:24armpit. Let me I mean, for example, can
5:27you see
5:31this this seam here?
5:35If this is sitting You can see that if
5:37it's sitting below where your armpit is,
5:40that's not going to touch the bit that
5:41gets sweaty anyway. I mean, I don't
5:43sweat, cuz I'm a lady, but if these are
5:45fashion choices that you do not feel you
5:47resonate with, please continue to
5:49listen. Let's assume you are not wearing
5:50one of the aforementioned items of
5:52clothing and you sweat into your shirt.
5:54When you sweat, your clothes get darker
5:56because a wet t-shirt absorbs more light
5:58than a dry t-shirt. When fabric is dry,
6:00the air fills the gaps between fibers.
6:02When wet, water displaces the air. Water
6:04has a refractive index closer to that of
6:06the fabric fibers than air does. So,
6:08light bends more gently between water
6:10and the shirt than between air and
6:11shirt. So, more light is absorbed. And
6:13if more light is absorbed, by
6:15definition, less light is reflected. So,
6:17you see a darker color. With this in
6:18mind, it stands to reason that black is
6:20going to be the best color for
6:21concealing sweat stains because you
6:23can't get darker than black. Black
6:25absorbs a lot of light anyway. A dry
6:27black t-shirt and a wet black t-shirt
6:29are going to have very little
6:30perceivable visual difference. Black
6:32getting darker is still black. And I
6:34think this is a good time to mention
6:35that if you believe that black is
6:37necessarily hotter than wearing white,
6:39you may have been led to believe some
6:40incomplete science. You probably heard
6:42that wearing white keeps you cool
6:44because it reflects light, which it
6:45does. White is better at reflecting
6:47sunlight than black, which is why when
6:48you touch a black t-shirt out in the
6:50sun, it feels hotter to the touch than a
6:52white t-shirt sitting out in the sun.
6:53But what we're missing when we conduct
6:55this kind of experiment is that we would
6:57be wearing this t-shirt. And if we
6:59consider this, we can't discount the way
7:01our body interacts with changing
7:02temperature and also the heat coming
7:04from ourselves. The sun is hotter, I
7:06agree, but it's also very far away.
7:09>> Okay, one last time.
7:10>> What we're forgetting when we suggest
7:12that white clothing keeps us cooler is
7:14that the vast majority of radiant heat
7:15transfer happens within the infrared
7:17region of the electromagnetic spectrum,
7:19which is nothing to do with the color of
7:20your shirt. So, in reality, the color of
7:23your shirt, white or black, isn't the
7:24defining feature as to whether that
7:26shirt is going to keep you cool or not.
7:28So, don't be scared to wear black in the
7:29summer. A study published in 1980
7:31followed a man in robes that he had
7:32purchased from the indigenous Bedouin
7:34people that lived there. The question
7:35they were asking was why would the
7:37Bedouins, who have lived in the desert
7:38for millennia, so kind of knew what they
7:40were doing by 1980, why would they wear
7:42black robes when we know that black
7:44absorbs more solar radiation than white?
7:46What they found was true. Black robes
7:47did absorb more solar radiation than
7:49white. The black robes themselves were
7:51hotter than the white robes, but the
7:52higher surface temperature produced
7:54greater convective heat loss, allowing
7:56the additional heat to dissipate before
7:58it reached the man underneath. And as
7:59such, the black robes and white robes
8:01showed no statistical difference in how
8:03hot they made the man. The study
8:04concluded with the explanation that the
8:06loose construction and ventilation of a
8:08garment can counteract the greater solar
8:10absorption of dark fabric by
8:11facilitating convection. So, applying
8:13this to our situation in 2026, the color
8:16of your shirt is far less important than
8:17what popular scientific rhetoric might
8:19suggest.
8:20>> Bright colors reflect sunlight and will
8:22get less hot than dark colors. So, it
8:24makes sense to go for beige, white,
8:26brighter colors in general.
8:27>> If the study were reproduced today, they
8:29could just follow a a freelance creative
8:31around Hackney
8:33wearing a Kuku Intimates skirt and have
8:34yarners.
8:35>> Here are things that I find so
8:37incredibly chic. All of these are very
8:40niche.
8:40>> But yeah, that's how you don't stink.
8:42Comment down below if you have your own
8:43tips, and follow for more.
8:45>> So, now that we have established that
8:46the color of your clothing doesn't
8:47really matter in terms of
8:48thermodynamics, I would like to suggest
8:50to you a way of dressing that draws on
8:51the principles of camouflage. As we now
8:53know, sweating makes your clothes
8:55darker. Sweating through your shirt
8:56results in a recognizable pattern. I
8:58will represent this with a circle. This
9:00is very easy to see on, for example, a
9:02block-colored t-shirt. We have a uniform
9:04color of the shirt, and we have a
9:06uniform shape of the stain. Our visual
9:08system is very sensitive to edges and
9:10contrast, which we use to identify
9:11objects. And camouflage works to exploit
9:14this. An evolutionary mechanism of
9:16camouflage, known as disruptive
9:17coloration, hides animals in plain sight
9:19by confusing the visual field. Instead
9:21of uniformly blending into the
9:23background by being the same color as
9:24its surroundings, the animal will have
9:26high-contrast spots, stripes, or
9:28patterns to break up the true outline
9:30and create false edges. In nature, this
9:32can be used to confuse a predator's
9:34visual system, allowing the prey to hide
9:36in plain sight. If we bring it back to
9:38the topic at hand,
9:40pit stains are our prey. We want them to
9:42be concealed as well as the toilet door
9:44conceals the pooping man. Our solution?
9:47A patterned shirt. Here we have a fabric
9:49consisting of one color. When I darken
9:51this with our sweat here, you'd be hard
9:53not to notice it. Here we have a
9:54patterned fabric. When I darken this
9:56with sweat, you can see that it is
9:57comparatively very discreet.
9:59Furthermore, in this patterned fabric,
10:01the pattern is quite highly contrasting
10:03with itself. This draws attention away
10:05from the gentle contrast the sweaty
10:06color and the non-sweaty color. Allow me
10:08to reiterate with these t-shirts. Here
10:10on the left, we have a solid color
10:11t-shirt, and here on the right, we have
10:13a patterned t-shirt. Here you can see
10:15that the pit stain is concealed in the
10:16two ways we have discussed. The dark
10:18colors conceal the sweat more on the
10:20right as they absorb more light when
10:22dry, so there is less visual contrast
10:24when wet. And also, the pattern conceals
10:26the sweat more on the right as it
10:27disrupts perceived visual edge of our
10:29pit stain. In conclusion, the shirt
10:31optimized for concealing sweat is a dark
10:34patterned shirt.
10:35Part two, how to feel cool. Being cool
10:38in the heat may actually prevent you
10:39from having to worry about the entirety
10:41of part one at all, which is why it came
10:43before part two, so I could force you to
10:45watch it before you realized it was
10:47potentially superfluous information. If
10:49you make clothing choices that keep you
10:51cool, you won't even get to the stage of
10:53sweating through your clothes. And this
10:55is why it's important to read the whole
10:56recipe before you start cooking.
10:58Consider this section to be the
10:59preventative measure to be put in place
11:01so that individuals are less likely to
11:03require treatment, which in this analogy
11:05is part one.
11:06>> May I note that this is no excuse not to
11:08be wearing an antiperspirant. We are in
11:09fact treating the symptoms, not the
11:12cause.
11:14And some of you forget that.
11:15>> So, how do we keep ourselves cool enough
11:17that we don't steam ourselves under our
11:19clothes? If we go back to our study on
11:21Bedouin robes, the color was
11:22statistically irrelevant. What kept the
11:24Bedouins cool was the architecture of
11:26their clothing. Their robes allowed what
11:27the human body is designed to do when it
11:29gets hot. Believe it or not, we did not
11:31emerge from Eve's womb wearing Havaianas
11:33and slip skirts.
11:34>> Here are things that I find so
11:36incredibly chic.
11:37>> In the scheme of forever, we have spent
11:38a relatively short amount of time
11:40wearing clothes at all. So, the way we
11:42have adapted to heat is based on us
11:43being naked. But, as we have already
11:45discussed, nature does not necessarily
11:47mean beautiful. So, please do not walk
11:49around crack to the wind, because that's
11:50not what I'm saying. In fact, what I'm
11:52saying is that you want to facilitate
11:53the body's natural response to being too
11:55hot. For optimum homeostatic
11:57performance, wear something light and
11:58airy where there is room between your
12:00body and your clothes, so sweat can
12:02evaporate off your skin and not onto
12:03your clothing, making it all wet and
12:05trying to dry out from there. Which is
12:07going to take substantially longer and
12:08be far less beneficial. The study on
12:10Bedouin robes suggested that clothing
12:12acted like a chimney, allowing excess
12:14heat from the sun-exposed robes to
12:15dissipate into the space between the
12:17body and the robes and funnel upwards
12:19and outwards. But, regardless of how it
12:20happened, this is not what the study was
12:22investigating. The skin temperature of
12:24the man in both the black robes and the
12:26white robes was less than the
12:27temperature on the surface of the robes,
12:29suggesting that the heat must have gone
12:30somewhere other than to the man himself.
12:33So, now we understand the fit, what
12:34about the material? You have two
12:36options: synthetic fibers or natural
12:38fibers. The conversation surrounding
12:40polyester clothing is rather a hot topic
12:42at the moment. Everyone is scared about
12:44eating their Lululemon leggings. But, as
12:46I'm sure you've heard every crude oil
12:47salesman or intentionally contrary video
12:50essayist say, "Actually, it's more
12:52nuanced than that." And I think that
12:53honestly it was the whole Lululemon
12:55controversy that kind of sparked this
12:57whole topic of discussion, because the
12:59polyester is bad for the planet rhetoric
13:01was kind of getting a bit tired. No No
13:03one cared anymore. But, I really I'm not
13:06going to dwell on the ethics of the
13:07fashion industry in this video
13:10about armpits. It requires a lot more
13:13conversation. But, as you are my
13:15children who I love so dearly, if you do
13:17wish to hear a whole video on materials
13:20and the sustainability and ethics of
13:22different materials, clothing materials,
13:24I can do a whole video on it. I just
13:26don't want to cram it all in now. But,
13:28to provide you with a very very short
13:30commentary, in case you haven't heard,
13:32Lululemon is getting a lot of attention
13:34at the moment over the use of forever
13:35chemicals, which is the user-friendly
13:37name for PFAS, which is synthetic
13:38substances that don't break down easily
13:40in natural conditions. I don't know if
13:42you've seen any stories like this.
13:53From what I can see, in order to run a
13:54viral story, you have to convince the
13:56vulnerable people of the internet that
13:57they are true noble victims. In April of
13:59this year, an investigation was opened
14:01into whether Lululemon failed to
14:02disclose the potential presence of PFAS
14:04in its clothing. Lululemon is saying
14:06that they don't use them and that they
14:08phased PFAS out of their clothing during
14:09the 2023 financial year, and they were
14:11eliminated by 2024. What does this mean?
14:14One, this is only an investigation. It
14:16is currently publicly unresolved. Two,
14:18the investigation is over whether
14:20consumers are being misled by
14:21environmentally friendly marketing, not
14:24over whether the use of these chemicals
14:25can kill you. It's a marketing issue.
14:27It's not a health and safety issue. And
14:29three, the investigation is into whether
14:31Lululemon has PFAS in their clothing in
14:322026, when they have stated they were
14:35eliminated by 2024. They used them in
14:372023, but that's not their problem.
14:39That's your problem for being a customer
14:41of Lululemon in 2023. I personally
14:44believe we're being misled about the
14:45actual situation. PFAS are synthetic
14:47substances used in clothing and
14:49activewear because they are water and
14:50oil repellent. So, you know what else
14:52has them?
14:53Your Arcteryx jacket and basically every
14:55other waterproof piece of clothing you
14:57own for repelling rain and the majority
14:59of activewear for repelling sweat. And
15:00even if you stopped wearing your
15:02raincoats and your activewear,
15:04it's in your nonstick pans, which you
15:06literally cook your food in. And this is
15:08not some scandal. If you actually cared
15:10enough, this is very readily available
15:11information. But, for some reason,
15:13people are more concerned about how they
15:14are somehow absorbing PFAS through their
15:17Lululemon leggings
15:19than literally eating them. And again,
15:20without wanting to be the crude oil
15:22salesman, I'm not saying that Pfas
15:24aren't bad, but honestly, I don't think
15:26they are bad in the way that media has
15:28led you to believe. Personally, I think
15:30it's all going to be a massive marketing
15:31technique from the fashion industry,
15:33because it allows them to tap into the
15:34wellness industry, which is worth
15:36considerably more. I got my head bitten
15:37off a little bit when I started saying
15:39that um anti-AI marketing is going to be
15:41a thing. My evidence pointed to when all
15:43the girls started to saying, "This is
15:44why we all shop at Everlane." Because
15:46there was a viral video on them not
15:48using AI for how products are being
15:50modeled on their website. And what went
15:52viral was the "Here's the proof that we
15:54do not use AI" video. And suddenly you
15:57get an online fast fashion retailer
15:59being praised for saving the planet by
16:00not using water. And I truly believe the
16:02same thing is going to happen here. It's
16:04fear-mongering, tapping into our
16:06obsession with health and wellness, and
16:07the fashion industry are going to use it
16:09to sell you stuff you do not need. Tale
16:11as old as time. People care far more
16:13about themselves than they do about the
16:14planet, which is why I believe Pfas are
16:16being branded as a health concern rather
16:18than an environmental concern. And
16:20people care more about themselves than
16:22they do about other people, which is why
16:23Pfas are being branded as a health
16:25concern rather than an ethics concern.
16:27In reality, the people whose health is
16:29most likely to be affected by Pfas are
16:31the garment workers making your clothes.
16:33Sustainable fashion marketing isn't
16:35profitable anymore because no one cares.
16:37And because no one cares, the bar for
16:38fashion brands to be considered
16:40sustainable is so incredibly low. For
16:42example, H&M are considered a global
16:44leader in sustainability in fashion. And
16:46that sounds great, but for a fast
16:48fashion company to be receiving
16:50accolades over their sustainability,
17:22>> The competition must only be comparable
17:24to
17:26being the fastest snail at the 100 m
17:28sprint. Took 2 days, but Gary is the
17:30world champion.
17:31You know, it's all frankly ridiculous to
17:33think that big fast fashion brands care
17:35about anything other than making money.
17:36They will just pile onto the latest
17:38trend making internet people most irate.
17:40Oh Polly being praised for saving the
17:42planet and creative's jobs by not using
17:44AI as a fast fashion online retailer
17:46with garment workers paid minimum wage
17:47in Bangladesh and China. John Galliano
17:49for his Zara collaborations saying they
17:51are creatively sustainable. What he
17:53meant was that he's taking inspiration
17:54from his old designs and using them in
17:56new designs.
18:00We are really pulling at straws here.
18:04And not the ones out of Tuttle's noses.
18:06Sustainable is just too much of a
18:07semantically charged word to be used
18:10here. Brands don't actually have to do
18:12anything because being transparent is
18:14considered sustainable and therefore by
18:16extension which is the same as saying
18:18yeah, it's okay to kill someone as long
18:20as you tell them first. Which is what
18:21the whole Lululemon controversy is
18:23about. It isn't about whether
18:25Lululemon's practices are harmful to the
18:26environment, laborers, or even to
18:28ourselves which everyone has been led to
18:30believe. It's actually about Lululemon
18:32using eco-friendly marketing and whether
18:34customers were misled because they have
18:36no critical thinking ability or autonomy
18:38to research. We need to stop acting like
18:40transparency is the same thing as
18:42actually doing something. But also
18:44acting like chemicals are necessarily
18:46bad. I was watching some debate the
18:48other day about fluoride in water and it
18:50was some conspiracy theorist talking to
18:52a doctor about the government putting
18:54chemicals in the water and the doctor
18:56was like, "Yeah, we put chemicals in the
18:57water." And the girl was like, "Gotcha."
18:59And he was like, "To prevent tooth
19:01decay. And you know what else we put in
19:02the water?
19:03Chlorine." And the girl was like,
19:09"Oh my gosh, you mean chlorine? That
19:11toxic yellow gas that you mix with some
19:15other and put in bleach to clean
19:16our toilets that has those little
19:18symbols on the back saying they will
19:19kill you and you will die if you drink
19:21it.
19:22In our drinking water. And he was like,
19:24yes, that chlorine. We put it in the
19:26drinking water because it kills bacteria
19:27that would kill you if you didn't kill
19:29them first. The millions of infants in
19:31developing countries aren't quite so
19:32lucky. Sometimes chemicals are good. But
19:35anyway, this is so far off topic. But
19:37consider all this a disclaimer when I
19:38say synthetic clothing can be good at
19:41keeping you cool. You cannot conflate
19:43bad for the planet with functionally
19:45inept. Being bad for the planet doesn't
19:47make it bad everything. You can consider
19:49what you personally find more important.
19:51But one does not necessarily imply the
19:54other. If polyester clothing is designed
19:56for performance, it's going to be good
19:57at keeping you cool. For example,
19:59technical clothing can be engineered to
20:01wick away sweat. The synthetic fibers
20:02will spread the sweat across the surface
20:04rather than being absorbed and this will
20:06allow the sweat to evaporate. Whereas
20:07something like a cotton t-shirt will
20:09soak up the sweat and will just make you
20:11all wet. With this in mind, if you want
20:13the thing that's going to best keep you
20:14cool, go for specialized techwear, which
20:17I'm sure I don't need to insult your
20:18intelligence by saying is not the same
20:20as 100% polyester from Shein. However,
20:23if you do want a natural fiber,
20:24personally, I actually find it nicer to
20:26wear cotton. I actually like the feel of
20:28cotton way better than any other
20:30material. But if you think I don't look
20:31like I go to the gym,
20:34you would be correct. So, I don't own
20:36any gym leggings or anything from
20:37Lululemon. But my absolute favorite are
20:40the Hanes Beefy-T shirt,
20:42which I'm I'm actually currently wearing
20:44one right now.
20:47Can you see that?
20:50It's a Christmas t-shirt. A heavyweight
20:51cotton t-shirt isn't going to be
20:53fantastic in the heat. If you sweat,
20:55it's going to absorb it rather than wick
20:57it away and it's just going to get
20:59heavier and wetter. Unless, as I say,
21:01you have this seam here
21:03below your armpit and then it's just not
21:05touching the wet part of your skin.
21:09Part one.
21:10But, if you choose something like gauze
21:12cotton, which is a lighter fabric with a
21:14looser weave, it's going to be a much
21:15better cotton option. Linen is also a
21:17very popular choice in the summer. Linen
21:19fabrics conduct heat away from the skin
21:21relatively quickly. So, linen often
21:23feels cool to the touch, and whilst it
21:25does absorb moisture, it releases it
21:27more readily than cotton. But, if I say
21:29anything more on the topic, I am scared
21:30that we will fall out. In conclusion,
21:32buy a robe from a Bedouin desert
21:34dweller.
21:38And that is everything I have time for
21:39today. I really hope you enjoyed that
21:41video.
21:42Do stay safe in the sun.
21:44Um
21:49Ciao. Adios. Happy holidays.
21:53Love you. Bye-bye.
21:58I'm melting.
22:10Oh.
22:12Ah.
22:13Mhm. That's it. I'm not going.
