Similar to Tuning into a Radio Program
When we’re simply too bored to accomplish anything, we’ve all been there. They may be less often as you get older (kids, enjoy your boredom! ), but they’re still possible. There’s no job, no bills, and no housework to be done. Alternatively, you could read or watch Netflix, or you could listen to your buddy put up an above-ground swimming pool. What’s the issue if you don’t have to help?
When he’s hunting for equipment, wondering whether you have enough room, and talking about the pleasure he’s having when people come over for pool parties, you can just sit back and listen. In a sense, it’s like a podcast. The dialogue is continuing on, even if you aren’t participating in it. To compare, imagine “Mukbang,” but with the addition of a swimming pool.
