Hi there. This week it's another Lifehack episode. Joining you, you see, from ProPimp Fitness, are joining me as we originally intended to do a podcast about relationships and we didn't even get around to the topic. So after an hour of us all chatting shit, we decided to just do a Lifehack episode. Relationships will be coming up and I might actually, if enough people are interested, I might just post the hour and a bit of what we ended up talking about because it's actually pretty funny, undirectional, but quite interesting. Coming up soon, I've got Corey Allen

from the Astral Hustle podcast, also the creator of Releaseleasing to Now, which is my favorite guided meditation. I'm actually sitting down with him tomorrow and I'm going to be going through from beginning to developing your practice in meditation, how mindfulness can be for everybody. I'm also sitting down with Quinn Henneck

from Juggernaut Training Systems to go through some mobility myths and work out to try and cut through some of the bullshit about what mobility, stability and flexibility mean in a performance perspective. And I've managed to get Johann Harry author of Lost Connections, recently on Joe Rogan's podcast and an absolute intellectual monster. I managed to get him to say yes to come on. So I can't wait to sit down with these guys, feeling really fortunate, but before that, obviously, biggest guests that I could have, Johnny and Yusuf from ProPaint

Fitness, let's go. Excellent. You could go there with your laptop. What makes me laugh about that continental place? It's the quietest bar in all of Newcastle. That's both in terms of customers and volume coming out of the speakers. Surprisingly quiet for customers. Yeah. And through the back is a room which is even more private and quiet? Yeah.

That's almost eerie. Why? What's this graveyard's room at the back for for whose idea was it to put this here? Why is it still here? Yeah, how is this place? Why the desk laid out like a 1940s example and why are they only higher Spanish people? It's quite cold continental isn't it? So they have to make it authentic, but they give you a little bit of steak or whatever I would never have never had bits of steak. I just have things that kill him.

Oh yeah, the peanuts. They give you like little meatballs, often pork or peanuts actually. So. Okay, so there are either sacrilege or fatal to people in our friendship. They're cuff art aren't they? So they're cuff art.

Anyway, life hacks. We're gonna do life hacks one of three. Johnny is delirious after a day of playing golf. Lifehack's been a three. Would you believe it? Of all of the things that you do, all of the things that you put your body for. It's 25 to 11 and you're wrecked of swinging around. I mean, what a golf club.

That's not hard. Three kids are hard. It's the walking. Yeah, it was a list. It is the list. It's the n kids who are hard. It was the walking. Yeah, it was the list. It is the list. It's the nepper, the neatest. So many terms for it. You saw the guy in the news recently

who was given pre-gablin for pain and claimed that it made him gay. And then his dad stepped into the newspapers and said, he's always likes boys. So, what's pre-gabbo? Yeah, well, it's pre-gabbo. Just a painkiller for neuropathic pain, but like, I mean, definitely, it's not listed on the side effects that it makes you gay.

There is no question that, well, unless he is the first recorded case of it, but then I love how it starts. No, no, no, no, guys, come on. Come on, let's stop this. He's always like boys. Gavin, you've had a lot of drowned all week. Ha ha ha. Shut up, done.

I mean, you've not done, man. OK, yeah. On the topic of people being scared straight or scared gay, we did Mrs. Empress this week, where two of our event managers dressed up as women for charity, men's prostate cancer, raised money for that. So I'm thinking about when we raised, five grand raised in the night. Great.

And we've got a guy who works for us who's gay. And upon seeing one of our event managers come out dressed as a woman, he said that he'd been scared straight. Said, I don't like boys anymore. So you know, all these pray the gay way comes in America. Don't need them. Scared them straight. Pray the gay way. You've not seen these.

No. The priests that have clearly gave themselves, but they just projected, they're projecting the power of Jesus to make you straight back women like the norm is like they were all Bill Cosby as well. No, I watched last night. I watched an episode of Family Guy where Lauren Conrad from the Hills is on it and she says we've, it's all part of the big publicity stunt at the moment. There actually CGI and your sex tape of me and Bill Cosby. And it's Bill Cosby like, and dressing, we are gonna do the zinc and the Zag, but the Zool,

Zool. Like, two years later, that could not be any more inappropriate. Hmm. CGI and, uh, so she said that there was CGI and your sex tape of her and him, but this is before all of the shit came out about Bill Cosby. It's so rude. Apparently that's going to become a thing soon that we're not going to be able to use video evidence as a... Because you can see the rest of the video. Yeah. There was a thing like that I saw, it must be the video on Facebook, it'll be fake news

probably. Yeah, but there was a guy, there was a video of Barack Obama speaking, saying like really weird shit, he was like Donald Trump was clearly more on. And then it splits the screen. And it's got the guy who's actually doing the voice. And he's completely, completely CGI'd. But like, that is fucking mental. Some Harris touches on that, right, with the Ham Saras thing. Like this thing, the A-dose made a version of me on the internet. So I completely support it. It's a little bit of advice that says you don't support it, ham.

I made a kind of humorous version of my, but it's clearly... That's a very good impression. Ridiculous, but it's not... It's too fast, that's because you listen to one and a half times too. It's very fast. It's not, it's not, it's too fast, that's because you listen to one and a half times. It's very nice. It's not fully forward pro is enough. Like he's just so, it's as if... So at the beginning the podcast, then I'm gonna talk about something very boring for a very long time.

That's good. I'm just gonna start with some housekeeping. To be Sam Harris. Yeah, Sam Harris. Right, Lifehacks 103, Lifehacks. First one, I've got, I've been killing it. Sam Harris. Sam Harris. Right. Lifehacks, one of three lifehacks. First one, I've got, I've been collecting goods. So I've been writing some in on a daily basis.

We've had the ones that were like apps and stuff so far. What I've been doing is I've been using like a, no, as a, like a lifehack diary of stuff that I do. And I think, I need about like a podcast. So first one, I've got, uh, unfollow the people that you hate from social media, and both of you are culprits of not doing this. I'm not going to name the plethora of people. Yeah, it's interesting. So the thing is, there's a lot of pleasure out of following the

people that, is it even hate or is it just like car crash? It's the fastest entertainment. But it's not because you come away from it. A lot of the tonnoyed, indignant. True. It was David's analysis of it. Like, she's got, she's passing off. She's got the goal to put to assume that she's passing off, what is it?

She's passing off what is offensively obvious as wisdom. She's got the arrogance to it. It's like, yeah. Yeah, it's unfollow the people that you hate. Like, especially on Facebook, you don't need to unfriend them. You can just unfollow. Unfollow.

You've got to the pro-file as well. Yeah, it will follow for 30 days. It's in the break. So go on with the pro-file. Click on it. Click on for 30 days in the break. So go under the pro-final. Click on it. Click on Friends, click on Unfollow. You'll never have to see the stuff again. And that is, for one of the better terms,

if someone's not in the same city as you, unfollowing someone on Facebook, it's tantamount to them dying. Never gonna see them again. Good girl. Never gonna see them again. And that's the comment and something that you comment on as well

And following people on Instagram is a little bit more tricky because Every time that I think about it for ages and then I've actually decided to do it I do it to the tiny minority of people who have these fucking unfollow checkers set. Oh Me follow checkers set? Oh, me. No. Um, they message you. Why did you unfollow me? Yeah. Or why did you care? Yeah.

I've had like, it's happened three times in last year. Really? I mean, that's lame. Like, you know, you called them out on it now, it's just great. But like, to get the hint, if someone unfollows you and you've got something to check that as well. But you should take it gracefully. You shouldn't follow the people that you hate.

Like, I know there's definitely a cathartic pleasure from watching the car crash of someone else's life. Go on, for someone who you kind of love to watch what they're doing, but you also kind of don't at the same time, it nets a negative. Bottom line is it nets a negative. You are right. We are in the midst of

battling against phone use like Talk about the medium that you do in it through It's yeah, it's very much guilty pleasure that I like that I love following car crash basic bitches And seeing that you're right like there. It's a negative thing. There's no enrichment of our life you're right, it's a negative thing. There's no enrichment of our life. I'm sorry. So I think it nets a positive. I know I always do this.

I'm the Jeremy Clarkson of these discussions. I suppose it has to, otherwise we wouldn't continue doing it. I disagree. So it's about fuel the time. It's the buyer and KD approach to it. Okay. You know the book I was going to give you, I don't know, it gave you. It's the buyer and Katie approached it. Okay. You know, buying the book I was going to give you, I don't know, it gave you. It's one that you've sent you in your life

and you never told me about until I asked you. Yeah. So here argument is that anything, we use if there's this far more, if I'm more deal than I do, but things that bother you are a chance to investigate why it bothers you and try and uncover a deeper because most of the time like, like realistically something that someone is doing over social media like yes it bothers you, like it might be because they're really stupid or basic or like if certain you don't agree with, but that is usually just something internal with you. And it is a chance I find to, that's really fucked me off. Why has that really fucked me off? And you always see another side of it from going through her process.

But that is like taking LSD, going on the trip, seeing you the side of it, going taking LSD, going on the trip, seeing you at the side of it, going interesting, introspective experience that I really should go away and reflect on what's going on. And then every day for the rest of your life just taking more LSD, going back to the same place. What is the same person? I see what you mean. So I think the point is that you get exposed to annoying things anyway. And like social media is just a... But would you like to do that?

So I think if you can get to the point where it bothers you less, then great. Cool. So up until the point in which it plateaus, we've managed to try and come up with a way to use following annoying people online for a source of personal development. Would you definitely flipping an egg

at your funny head? I think if something bothers you and it's someone else doing something, it's probably you not them more than likely. If that, they're knobs. You say, what do you think? They're knobs, I think they are. Is what, but why do you think they're knobs?

Because they are. The first shit. But it is because they're doing something that triggers me. They're doing something that triggers friction. They're posting something that triggers me. There're doing something that's friction, opposing something that triggers me. There's something to be said for like, if something triggers you, it is potentially a pointer to something in yourself. I don't know whether it applies 100% of the time because I could think of things that would, like you can think of things that would trigger you but would

don't have any kind of deeper truth, They're just like, like, throwing balls. Getting caught up in traffic. Yeah. Is annoying for the sake of it occurring? Yeah. I don't think it reveals much about you in a truce. Right. Well, it shows that you have a belief that I shouldn't get caught up in traffic, which

is far worse because you do get caught up in traffic. There's an interesting one about why we're so angry about in cars. It's because of the heightened sense of awareness, because we're not used to going at that speed, even at slow speed. Exactly. Yeah, it's always that. It's always like, look, if you're not paying attention, we know you could have cut us both. People don't in cars. That's why I'm used to if we've got one. So I can't remember if I mentioned this last time, but this ties into the capture process

that I think you have to always have. So 20 years ago, it would be carrying a notebook and your pocket and your pocket and every file of facts. File of facts. And if something comes into your awareness that needs to either be action or looked up or noted down or inside or something, it would go down in the notebook and when you get home, you would then put it into your process, which is

like you look through your notebook at the end of the day, but I write, I've got these things, these need to be either put into the action list or whatever. And so for me, Toby, which is a browser extension for Chrome, allows me to quickly organize anything. So if someone sends me an article that I need to read or there's a video that comes up that I should watch at some point or whatever, and I can't action it right away, I can create separate cues of reading cue, listening cue, and then frequently visited thing. And then you can subsplit those into, like for me, for example, it would be medicine, study, propane or business

stuff, and then work that needs to be done. And so having that as a capture means that you no longer lose out on someone sends you an article and you're like, oh yeah, I'll read that later. It's very cleverly put together, Bob and Mark's manager. It's great. We did actually bring this up on the last one. However, you've come out from a different angle, which I think is worth one. I think so, because you can try and capture it

at the point it comes in. But then you have no control over whether someone sends you a WhatsApp or a text message or whatever. You're speaking about this a little bit in the way that a 10th Dan Blackbelt would talk about punching someone in the face. I do think that you're totally right, that you need to, we are stressed by having too much stuff that we need to remember.

Our brains are built for processing information, not remembering information, right? Exactly. Decision-making, not retention. It's built for having thoughts and holding them. A bit of a decision. So there's a couple of layers there. And one of them is the decision that you sit down,

you open a new tab, you're like, I want to read something, if you have to make a decision every time, or run through it, obviously you can't mark your iMessages as a red, for example, or whatever. So it's such a good nightlife, it's a very annoying feature.

So you have to then be like, right, I need to read something. Oh, there was that thing that Chris something, a couple of weeks ago, and I was like, where I was instead, if you have the reading queue, you just pick the first thing in that queue.

The decision is made for you. One of the problems is that a lot of, like 85% of people's browsing is now done on mobile and you can't get told we for mobile. So you've got to be on laptop. It's good for you guys who are watching. Mobile, you can get pocket, which is similar. The last just from you being.

I'm trying to. I've never known I suppose as well, but. It's a different isn't it? Yeah, I mean, to be honest, I think mobile browsing is an absolute fools game. LAUGHTER Well browsing is an absolute fools game. No, no, no, no, no. 85% of you who are listening, right? Fools don't even matter.

I don't think I read. I don't think I would ever just sit in browse. I think it's normally listened to stuff. I listen to stuff. Right, have you got one? Um, so if you don't have one, I've got one. I could do one that I've been experimenting with recently. It's more of like a,

is it no Fab? No. And this is something that I speak to a lot of clients about who struggle with just training, getting the training in. I think it's the case with trying to do anything that you wanna do consistently. So, used to train four days

a week, done that, like for as long as I can remember, started finding that I'd have a particularly hard session or like schedule would be slightly different and I just go all train tomorrow. And then it gets to Friday and you realize that you've got to train. Four days of training. You've got to train Friday Saturday Sunday, you, you're like, right, well, that's going to wreck me. And I was starting to get niggles. And so I was just like, right, I'm just going to try and train six days a week. Stay the same volume, shorter sessions,

and just part of my morning is get up, do morning routine stuff, go to the gym, start like after that. And doing that has been really positive so far. So what's the main change that volume stayed the same, but spread across more sessions? Yeah, I'm doing more than a challenge. So short sessions and there's less of a barrier to like, oh my god, I'm going to be the gym for two hours. Each of the sessions, it's therefore easier. So you lower impact. Yeah, you've had to get your coach to adapt to sign it off here.

Yeah. The program. So he, I think he has probably up the volume ever so slightly. There's a few more assistance exercises. Well, it would be silly not to, right? Yeah. But it, it's just, because before, like the other way that I operated anyway was today's training day, tomorrow's a training day, today's a rest day.

Yeah. And your whole routine's different for me anyway the time I start work and what sort of stuff. Inherent inconsistency to your daily routine. Built into your daily routine. Exactly. Built into your by daily routine. And so just especially during the week so I'll still try and take some day off if I can but didn't today.

I quite like it. Just some training session. It feels like an extra day that I quite like it. I like it. Just on the training session. It feels like an extra day that I'm getting in that I probably wouldn't have done. Yeah, and I can do like today. I did 90 minutes. It wasn't a very fun day. I did 90 minutes of rehab and then been myself on a walk-byk doing intervals for 20 minutes. Bind yourself.

Bind. That's many terms for what I do in the gym. Binding yourself. I just think that's what I absolutely did. I probably fully wreck myself. That's really interesting. I'd be very interested to see what difference that has on stuff like your metabolism, like fat loss, stuff like that. Yeah, I think, and that's something else I've noticed is just like, yep, you two maybe don't get it,

but I'll have days where, sprider, clear wake wake up and I just feel a bit more tired than normal I give it mentally fuzzy. Yeah, yeah, if you just go train Like I was out of it. You're pretty much like after a training session. I pretty much feel the same today Today was a perfect example of that. So last night I Travel around Lodz this week about 20 to 30 hours of of traveling I've done this week. Last night went to Manchester at 9 o'clock, got in at 6 a.m. Got up at 12 midday, really groggy, but was like, right, usually on a weekend,

I kind of let my routine slip a little bit because it allows me to come back in a Monday with a bit of fresh ice. Didn't do it, treated today like a Monday. Got up, journal, meditate, wrong word, cook, go to the gym. And by the time I'd been myself on what bike, doing a really, really horrible interval workout,

I came out the gym and there was a sense of, not only a sense of euphoria for it that you naturally get, the dopamine kick that you get from sort of training, but it was glazed with this extra sense that I'd done it under a particularly high level of fatigue. And I'd overcome a bunch of stuff that I probably wouldn't have done usually. There was an extra level of that. Glazed. I like that. It was, it was the nea of just extra little achievement of nic'm nice and it was quite nice. No, it was because it was two people really.

It was something that you said about, if you're having a bad, if you feel like you're having a bad day, like you can't be bothered or whatever. Like if you go train, you've kind of set the wheels in motion of like, I've already ticked off something positive. And there's just, it's such a like a cringy thing to say, but there's

something about like sweating or doing something physical, your daily basis, you can feel it's such a reset. Better, right? So I would, I would go as far as to say that going to the gym and training is as much of a reset for what has happened before then. Mm. It's going to bed. Yeah. Going to bed is. bed. Yeah, it's going to bed is.

Yeah, definitely. I can wake up on a morning with, especially now, I've been meditating more recently and practicing a bit more mindfulness. I find that my emotions from the night before, my thoughts from the night before, carry over through my sleep. On average, I only sleep six and a half hours a night, so that might be, that might contribute a little bit. But I find that they carry over a lot. If I go into the gym, you can go in with a terrible mood. And I can come out. I mean, it's as much of a difference between before and after as if I was sleeping. So yeah, that was an interesting.

This is that. And the most consistent person I know with training is digital audio broadcast Gibson. So he trains... He did it a bit. He just trained six days a week. Like I do his programming for him. He trains 6am. He trains 6am on Thursday, has Friday off, trains Saturday Sunday. And he very, very rarely, less he's traveling, very rarely skip to session. He's like, by 9am.m., I've trained. And then like, the people who try and fit it in in their day later,

anything can happen. It becomes increasingly hard, as we were saying with meditation. Yeah. The more you try and convince yourself that you can skip your morning session and do it later on in the day, the less and less likely it is that you're going to complete it. Yeah. It's not, it's made nice, not like, ah. complete it. You're the thing to consider as well is that once it's done the anxiety of having to do

it, it's gone for the rest of the day. That's a huge factor. That's the main reason that I meditate on the morning because I know that for the rest of the day I don't need to think I need to meditate still. Don't you feel like, I think for me, there's a sense of like, I've kind of won that aside of my life. Oh yeah. The box has been ticked, that's one already.

That was another reason why I did sobriety. The six months sobriety thing for me was such a keystone when I did it because I was feeling like that. Yeah, for sure, because it meant that I could overcome, right, already, I've already conquered this, once next, once coming next on the list. So yeah, it was, it's so nice to get to like,

if I get to like half nine or 10 AM, and I've done like meditative, wrong-word, or stuff, and I've trained, and it's like, that's like me out the way, like now I can just work, and I don't have to worry about anything else. When I finish work, I'm done. I'm absolutely done.

Yeah, and you just feel, and the thing is as well, especially for me, your training probably wouldn't permit this because with powerlifting, you need to give yourself more time to rest, a little bit more taxing, I guess physiologically. But for me, if I do that, and I think, right, six o'clock, what do I want to do? That's another session. And we go back in.

I'm going to do extra programming. I'm going to do workout. I'm going to do bodybuilding, so I'll work after it's crossed with this morning. I'm going to go and do some technique work. I'm going to do that. It's bonus. Yeah. And you're like, fuck.

It's not catching up. Yeah. You're not playing catch-up. You're getting ahead, which is, yeah, it's a really good sense of satisfaction. I think a lot of people, you know, if there's anything that you need to do, like if it's fucking walking the dog, doing, you know, spending time reading with you, with a kid, you know, if that's something that needs to be done, do it first. Crack it out.

Yeah. Get it cracked out so that you know that the box has been ticked because the rest of the day is yours then. Because then the rest of the day you're not thinking when am I going to be able to do it. That anxiety is so interesting. It's so interesting taking the same session. So if I try and train it, like for example, or nine, if I train it nine knowing, like, I need to get the work, like, I need to start work soon. What you're able to do in, like, you immediately

your rest periods are less. Parkies and sirens. Yeah, you don't look at your phone, you're in, you're out. Yeah, fuck, I did. I was trained in 45 minutes. Yeah. Like normally, pass around and take the ages. So yeah, I'm, I used to, when I worked at KPMG,

I did it all the time. Like I always trained in the morning. But I have such bad memories of it because it was six o'clock in the morning. It's good. And it was all KPMG I did it all the time. I always trained in the morning, but I have such bad memories of it because it was six o'clock in the morning. And it was like KPMG. Yeah, well yeah, but it was so it was that. And then I had to like, I had like an hour long commute and it was always a really hard training as well. So, but a little bit later, go to drive to the gym, miss rush hour, train then. It's really, really big, big fun. Of course, no, everyone, train then. It's really a big fun. Of course, no everyone can do that bit.

I just take the microphones. Sorry. Next one, Apple AirPods. Oh, God. That's so good. That's so good. I know audio broadcasts for some. As a digital.

For as a audio broadcast, too. So they are without a doubt that you said this before, single biggest change in quality of life was something that you came up with for one of your last life hacks. Apple iPods for me are from upon purchase quality of life instantly increases on aggregate by 5 to 10% every day and upon using them by 50%. Even just by earning them. It's how nice they are. So, you know what makes them, is there? It's a little things about them. I'm not small at this point. Everyone needs pair of hedgeons. If you're not on an iPhone, I don't know how they will link up.

They're just Bluetooth headphones, right? They don't have something in them, because wasn't that one of the criticisms of the home pod? I'm not sure. I wouldn't be able to. Maybe they do work. I wouldn't be able to elaborate. Anyway, if you are someone who uses your headphones ever, you should buy a pair of AirPods. So the coming in case, the little case is an external charger for the earbuds. The buds get four hours charge out of about 15 minute dock in the external charger. The external charger has about three full charges of the buds.

The charger, the external case is plugged in with a lightning cable, so you only have a need to take one cable away when you're on holiday or when you're traveling, the one for your phone and the one for that. They link up with your phone instantly. You can program a double tap on the earbud of the left to pause on from the right to skip to the next track. They've got in-built microphones at the bottom of the earbuds so that you can use them for wireless hands-free.

They don't actually, I don't think they actually use Bluetooth for them either. I think it's a different kind of technology. And NFC, is it in the field communications? It's something different about them. So if you don't have a brick wall in between you, I've done it in time-side before, and I can be 12 meters away. I can be on the opposite side of the hole until I've crystal clear communication from them. I had that this morning. Yeah I was thinking

about that this morning. I put it down wherever you want. And yeah like you're walking around in the house especially if you're taking phone calls and stuff like that. A phone call actually ends up stopping whatever else you do, whereas with these, you can have headphones in, do the washing up, do your cooking, they've got noise canceling in, so the person on the other end hears just what you're saying, they are, I wouldn't believe, well the one caveat for this is they're expensive, they're 160, quid, 140, yeah, they are. They're expensive, but they're worth it by sold-to-be-with. So I've had like, both headphones and I've never had beats, I don't know, they're worth it by sold. So I've had like, both headphones and I've never had beats.

I don't know, they're kind of like the other competitor on there. Yeah. Are they like, cheap their headphones and nothing has come anywhere near? But it's, so it's not like, I think what, I don't feel like, people turn off and like, are 160 quid or whatever.

But it's the, it's how effortless using them is. Take one out, pauses the music, put it back in again. So if you're just like a podcast, put it back in again, it recognizes that you paused it, jumps it back a second. Players. Players again. Press it play. I get in the car. So if I'm on the phone in the car, like phones on the blue teach the car, before I get out the car, air pods out, my airpods in phone still in my pocket get out the car somehow the airpods realise hold on the phones disconnecting the car he wants the call about this how about this for you so I get in my car and my car automatically picks them up so I'm listening to a podcast of any of your phones get into the car and start playing in the car yeah then all that I need to do is double tap

the airboard and it'll flick back off the car and back into the earbud. Unbelieveable? It's because what someone Apple has done has thought, what does, what are the daily situations people with headphones face? Let's make AirPods good for that. They are without a doubt absolutely fantastic. So I honestly think, I obviously like the return you get

from a MacBook and a iPhone is way beyond that. But in terms of like an accessory from Apple, unbelievable. Yeah. Shoot all over an Apple watch. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Well, they are, they're just so, so good. Jordan today was showing me, so I walked in with AirPods in and went over and like signed in and said hello. And he said like, is there anything playing in them or are you just wearing like trendy? I was like, I'm actually listening, but it is a problem when you're not listening to something.

Yeah, yeah, to put them. And he was like, oh, I've put my hands, you're ears. That's what I do. So I didn't realize. I sit my foot on the top of my ears, yeah, with a wider bit ears. That's what I do. So I didn't realize. I set my foot on the top of my ears, yeah, with a wider bit behind. That's it. And you can listen.

As if Jordan's told you that, he gives me so much shit for putting on top of my ears. Really. No bastard. Anyway, AirPods, you should buy them. How do you mean behind the ears? So if you're like, imagine that they sit on top of you ear,

like you would with a cigarette. Like you'd like a chastity. They stay there. They stay there, they're wedged in. Have you tried using the AirPods case as an iPhone holder? It's very precarious. It is. So if you Google it, there's examples of people doing it.

So like if you found yourself on a train or a plane, you want to watch them on your phone, partially open the AirPods case, sit your phone in it, and it does, like, go, sits back, and then you've got your AirPods in, so I actually think, you know. So it was a guy using it, doing it in a cafe, it was just before I owned any,

and like, they came out and I was like, oh, shit, that's stupid. And it was like, you've got two orl B toothbrushes. Exactly, yeah, it was, yeah. You start eating with his phone in the corner of the thing, in the AirPods case, there's AirPods in, I was like the corner of the thing in the air Pots case the air potting was like that looks so fucking baller. He had an iPod mini as well. I was like that man like apple stuff. I'm gonna start wearing oral B.

To try and like fit in with the the Pov version. They are just so so prohibitively expensive. But you're right, like the, I, I thought that was a good chance for me to go to the toilet because I don't have nothing to contribute about AirPods because I don't have them. But the, the hands-free calls alone, I think would sell me on them. Unbelievable. And did you know what's even cooler that you guys did the other day? That I'd never even thought like, thought. So on the propane Instagram, there was a multiple stories,

basically like a kind of a video podcast, I guess, like a two-minute-three-year video podcast, split up into the 15-second stories. So it was a Facebook Live. It's a track-stakingly. It takes ages. It's an app called Cut Story that divides it when you have to individually upload them.

Okay, and they were walking down the street and one had the left and one had the right and the sound quality is matched from both. So cool. And it's just sick. I obviously think if you're in a cafe and you needed fuck, I've run into that Chris, the trader guy, like just randomly running to someone who with a desperate to think with. With podcasts. Take this here, but press record. Press record on the other thing and you can...

You'd have it. Like loads of confidence calls. You want to speak like two people want to have the same phone call. Right, you said you've got one. Yeah, so this isn't the very sexy one. But I am currently dealing with a lot of companies too many to keep track of in terms of following up responses and so on. So what I do is I have a list on one list called waiting for

And if I've sent out a request to these companies, maybe it may be a bit 10 or 12 on the goad at one time I just add it to that list and then I know that there are people that I'm waiting for a response from. Okay. Alternatively, you can do it all within Apple Mail. If you use MailButler or follow up then, which is Johnny's preference, MailButler allows you to tag an email as you send it. You take a box on the email itself that says, remind me in two weeks and it links, it adds a reminder into Apple reminders, links to that particular sent email and then cancels the reminder if you get a response to that email.

That's clever. Just fantastic. Again, what we're talking about, it's just capture, isn't it? It's just removal. It's just removal of having to remember stuff yourself. My reminders now are starting to back up so much because I'm using them so much. Well, it's all the time. Because I think, because I've got criticized from my uncle who is like,

you said, you need to just rely on your memory more. Stop being such a pussy with, with using, even relying on calendars and things. That's fine for you to say if you're retired and don't have anything, but like, what to do is remember to get the cat out. Try to put the green, I'm running again. Well, you get to the point where it exceeds the cat out. Try doing a medical degree, I'm running a computer. Well, you get to the point where it exceeds the capacity of your memory, or even if it doesn't,

even if you have a internal system, it's gonna stress you out by having to maintain the open loops, whereas if it's just completely out of your head, you know that I can just check the waiting, oh yeah, I haven't heard back from N Power yet, okay, I'm gonna chase them up, yeah. So there's two, I think, really important

caveats with that. And it's, you need to practice the skill of capture, I think. Yeah, I think you need it time. I think you fall into it. Well, because like everyone's had the experience where you sat doing something else and suddenly the thought of like, oh my God, I was meant to do, two days ago. I was meant to do that.

It's a horrible feeling. Oh, awful. It's a jarring, it's like falling. That's your brain going like, ha ha, dickhead. You didn't, you didn't process this at the time. Now look what's happening. So there's that, that side of it. So you need to practice it, but also if you just build up lists and you never have, you don't have like a time in the day where you look at them, then it's also mean, then when you look at your

list three days later, you're like, oh, fuck, I was building my shirts, yeah. You're like, I'll batch the paint. Yeah. So all you've done is capture it and then you don't have a capture for the capture. Yeah, you just, you just pushed it somewhere else, you're like, oh, I'll look at it later. Something that a guy called the guy that we were talking about early, R.E. Miserl, yeah, talks about to-do lists, or correctly managing your flow of things is about reminding yourself of the thing you need to do at the time you need to be reminded. So like, he's

big on using email as an inbox. So like, um, get sending yourself an email on Monday morning. When you know that on Monday morning, you need to do a thing, rather than write it on a list and hope on Monday morning, you look at the list. Which is an argument for having notifications off on your phone, apart from the ones that you have been doing. The thing is, maybe you two, I don't know, I think you've mentioned this before where like something pops up Like a notification like a reminder pops up. Yeah, I can't do it now snooze or like Just fuck off. Just just get it get away. Yeah, and then It's not like there's not a good you haven't dealt with it. So it pops up again. Yeah, yeah. I've tried to stack the deck in my favor now,

so I have as much in the reminder on my iPhone and also on my laptop as possible. So if I need to follow a link or send an email to someone, it has the email address of the person in there. If you ever done the opposite, where you absolutely mind, create a reminder, I've done this to myself quite a few times now where you get a reminder from up on your phone and it just says Friday 7pm.

I know, no, no, no, no, I have something important. Or the anxiety just turned up to 11. Do you want me to turn up to 12? How about this? So I use Siri a lot to do reminders. And what I'll do is I'll set a reminder on Friday remind me to email Santander about my current account. Do do. Okay I'll remind you on Friday. Right, brilliant, don't look at it, put it away. Reminder comes back up. Siri's bastardized mind, middle for accent, to something which is completely incomprehensible.

Remember the donuts are frying in the kitchen or something and you're like, Siri, what is that? That happens so much as well. So Siri's great for when you're driving, I think. Yeah. So the number of things that occur to me while I'm driving. No, it's great with what? I plop, I plop up here. So yeah, like you're saying, hey Siri. Hey Siri. Hey Siri. It's good. There we go. And then it just captured it. And I'll be listening to what we're saying. Well, I've done listening to it.

No, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's

okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's I also don't have a girlfriend. You can set it on South African accent. Can you mind me? No, okay. Or do you mind me? I'll remind you. I'm a woman.

Seeming with a bit of blood. Is it? Oh, blood with a bit of semen. It's a really important distinction. Johnny, if you got one. Errrr... What was it? No more master.

I did a hack one. What was it? Should've caught. I did have one. What was it? Should I cry? Right, I've got one. You've seen that for a sit-up room before. First I've ever seen for a sit-up room before. Have I said... Oh, go ahead.

Have I mentioned Pomodoro's? Yeah. Before? Yeah. Before? Yeah, but you can wrap them in a different twist. So, focus me pro, it's a Mac app, might be an iPhone app as well. So, Pomodoro's, what have you got? One called focus me. I don't know.

So, what I recommend to you, it's the same one. Okay, you've got a pro version, which means you have to pay for it. Which means that he definitely hasn't. I've got, I've got B-focused free. Right. Light. Light. How's all the add-ons? Yeah. What the marks you remind us? Pomodos is, is 25 minutes of work followed by five minutes break. And the idea is to prevent you from procrastinating, like at the start of the 25 minutes, you're like, I'm going to do this for 25 minutes and I'm gonna challenge myself

see if I can do it for 25 minutes. I'm just like, it's just 25 minutes. It can't be that hard. It's really difficult to do. So you try and manage your distractions. So it's 25 minutes of purely just doing whatever, it doesn't matter what it is. Five minutes of total disconnection.

And then you do that four times, and you get a longer break. That's how the Pomodoro set up. So it's cal new point, isn't it? Yeah, it's practicing deep work. It's practicing getting better at just focusing on one thing. There's loads of case studies of people using it and talk about how I used to work a 60-hour work week.

And now I do eight Pomodoro's a day because I've become better up. What parking since Laura's? Yeah, that's it. So having the power of having your dead light and the power of having a timer counting down, you know, I've got to finish this one thing in this time. So I've tried doing it this one thing in this time. So I've

tried doing it on an offer ages, always found that like, apps are pretty like clunky or annoying or like you forget to set it on your phone or whatever. The app for whatever it's called, focus me or be focused or whatever is really simple, like quite unintrusive. You just start it, start the day, and it just runs. You pomodoroes for you, and just goes, you move, you move. All right. Bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup. Yeah.

And then it also, it just shows, I love graphs and shifts, as you probably know, it shows you, so you keep it to do list, or you keep a list of all the things you would normally do on any time. So like, start the day, click on the app, let's long list of things, like what I'm going to do, or that one, press play, start as Pomodoro, and then tracks it as when you want to look at how am I spending my time, gives you a pie chart of how your time is spent, and then gives you a bar chart of how many Pomodoro I see you a day. So you're like, was it a productive week? And you think, well, I don't know, probably,

you know, here's how I spent my time. Here's how many Pomodoroes I did. And it's so like, I'm a big fan of things that just to fit bit, like I don't have to think about like how I was mostly, but how generally active I might. It's just collecting up. And this is the same thing. So the Pomodoro technique and that, how generally active I might. It's just collecting up. And this is the same thing. So the Pomodoro technique and that app, which one's the one that you use, Johnny? Can you remember? No. I thought it was focused.

Well, it'll be in the description. It's something pro. Right. It probably is B-focused pro because there is a... Focus me. We'll find it. I will find it. I'll be standing in season this is. Someone, someone else.

Someone else. You sort of have a template you can use. Another one, which is probably a little bit more of a prohibitive, a prohibitive life hack, but is one that I'm going to stick to for the rest of my life. Automatic cars. What a So I'm a gearbox stick to for the rest of my life. Automatic cars. Automatic gearbox.

Oh my god. So I told you about Paul not small talking about this. No. There's a guy who's a bit of a Facebook personality poor Turner who I was talking to him about this topic and he was like, oh yeah, people always say I'm fucking, I'm a fucking woman for driving a normal man. All right then, you want'll take that to the extreme. I'll go and crank up the engine at the start and pump up my tires every time and spray water on the windscreen. He's like, where's it stop? And he's like, yeah, totally agree. Why is it that changing the gear on the transmission is somehow the manly thing to do. A kin to being involved in the driving experience. When someone will get out and go and buy a barista-made coffee, as they take the escalator and the

lift to work. Yeah, exactly. You are. Well, I think you're so elective. How's it using an iPhone or like, it's just like- I mean, it's fine because I changed gear manually. Yeah, it's totally yeah It's it's I had to drive a manual the other day and I realized how much of a ballake it is when you go back to it Yeah, and it delays you like because I get put really pissed off like unreasonably annoyed

Sorry Chris and I'm stealing your We're all with I know that we all agree. I get un reasonably annoyed at people that take ages when the light goes green. I mean, it's incredibly inconsiderate to wait for the light to go green and then slowly get you asked to get you literally to pull off. That's the real thing. What I was saying about,, it's got amber, right? Mirror? Mirror? Okay, handbrake. Neutral. Clutch. First gear. Find the bike. Oh, it's called amber. And then it's like that one person through.

Yeah. It's like, it's really inconsiderate, but I realised that actually it takes two, three times as long. You need to be prepared. You need to be fully satisfied. You've got to be so much more. I suppose maybe there's an argument that you're a little bit more of a conscious driver and you're probably a little bit more alert during a drive manual, just because you're more involved in the driving experience.

You are more involved in the driving experience, but I will never ever go back to having a manual car ever. Absolutely. I would happily leave the love of my life if she demanded that we have to have a manual car. So I've just given the car, I'm getting my own car. Recent change for me. Okay, you know what Mark? Oh, you knew when his was massive.

Yeah, massive. Massive. Massive. recent change for me getting a lot of Mac. Oh, you knew when I was a massive, massive, massive, shifting, like driving a little dodging, doesn't it? Like it just feels, like I'm driving a machine rather than like whereas, with a manual, it's like riding a bike. Yeah. Such a weird pride ego thing, like,

oh, I don't think, I mean, I'd change gears. I don't see that, I don't really see that argument so much online anymore. I just think it's people who maybe haven't listened to Lifehack's one of three and realized that they need to buy it. You need to buy an automatic car tomorrow. If you have a manual car, go change it. No. Trade it in. Trade it in. The cars are still making. Who the fuck was it? I don't know because I don't buy new cars. But there doesn't really seem much of a disparity.

There's a disparity in the availability, but not a disparity in the price. So you can find an equal model, both manual and automatic. So it's not like a premium luxury or something? No, but there are fewer automatics around and there's certain cars that you cannot get if you want to have a defender, which a lot of people do. The only way you'll get an automatic defender

is if someone to custom change the transmission in the gearbox. Is that presumably that something to do with, like, off-roading? Off-roading, you know. I'm not sure. Well, why would that be the case? The end-to, an automatic gearbox is going to be able to control the ratio of a much more effectively than you can

with your right foot. But, yeah, just by not mind it can't as much. You're a petrol efficient as well. Then you used to buy a dissident. By dissident. But the change here at the right, and if you want to go fast or I've just put your foot down, off the gate as well.

As usually as sport mode. So every car, every car's got a go slightly quicker mode when you're in an automatic even if it's not. You've seen the Tesla bird. I've lived a cruise pack. I was in. It's the roadster. I didn not. You've seen the Tesla bird. I've lived a Christmas pack. I was in the... So the roaster.

I didn't, it's in all of them. So it's in the P100D and, well, in the P90D, you can get... Frightening. Living Christ. 3.2 second notes. You've never... Press against the back of your ribcage. You should watch online the Tesla Model 3,

which is the family SUV one with the Gullwing doors. So they were trying to convey just 145 grand as well. Yeah, it's something SUV. Yeah, really, it's pretty expensive, but it's fucking mental. It's unbelievable. So they were trying to convey just how quick this car was to put it on a track. And they were like, we've been doing these tests for ages and no one can really understand Just how fast and powerful this car is So what we're gonna do is we're gonna put it on a track against an Italian sports car And they've got a alpha-a-mail spider pull it next to it like Fucking quick light Italian sports car rapid says and it's gonna go up against a Tesla model 3

pulling a flatbed with an alpha email spider on the back. Oh, man. So the Tesla, we need to take it in a quarter mile, pulling the car that it's beating. Yeah, I've seen that video. Have you seen the one where there's a guy parked? It's in London or something. There's a guy with a Lamborghini.

He's like, come as it's like, whoa, parks. And there's one of these Tesla SUVs that has a show off button. You see that? It's the winged one. The doors come up, it's going like, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. And everyone is ignoring the Lamborghini, taking one to the Tesla. It's like, there's that side of what Elon Musk does, it's just like, class, it's just, let just forget about the logistics of it

Let's make something to do it stupid And you see when you press the ludicrous button on it it says Like put some warnings up like this will cause Extended wear on the battery and the tires and the transmission are you sure? Yes, no, I want my mummy Are you sure? Yes. No, I want my mummy. He's really good. There's that clip of the, I think it's the new Roadster that they've not released yet. There's like two seconds where they put it into fast mode or whatever.

There's a journalist in it and the screen goes like, has like orange, like laser. Yeah, and the guys were like, oh my God! Is that a lorry now as well? Yeah, it's self drive. Yeah. Oh, does it? It's all the myself drive. Have you seen where the guy is seated?

Where the lorry driver is seated? No, there's one single seat directly in the center of the cockpit. It's just feel like a nice rocket. I'm gonna tag one at the centre of the carpet. It's just so I'm going to tag one at the end of automatic cars and it's full-filled petrol tanks, like the overhead cost, the time of peeling off from your journey to go to the petrol station is something that needs to be apportioned across as much profit as possible. That overhead cost needs to be apportioned across. You're filling your tank to push the next trip to the petrol station as far away as possible.

Money's prohibitive if you don't have the cash to be able to fill your car every time, but if you do, the extra, like saving a self 30 seconds from not holding onto the handle to fill the tank means that you need to take three to five minutes out of your journey one week earlier, then you would have done to go back to the fuel station. We've spoken about this, countless times, the only way in which that's not the case is if, so two situations, I think one is if you don't usually carve that often, but you fill it up. So someone who just has like 60 quid

a fuel sat in that car for a long time. Okay, it's tied up well for you. Yeah, yeah. It's basically a well for you. Like if you have a way, if you are in some way gaining interest from money that you own, okay, then it's a stupid idea.

Even if you have that money in the satan, that I want to three accounts. So, which is the highest level of interest that you're gonna get, you're on 1.5% of 60 pounds. Well, no, if you were like, let's say you're dating, the dating adore, like there's something you're doing to generate returns from your car. Okay, what's the other one?

Well, it's all on the same thing. If you're just always filling up your tank, you don't necessarily need to, like if it's not too much of a detour to go to a passenger station, for example. Then I think, so what I do is fill up, like, if I know I've got a lot of driving to do, I'll fill up. So now I'm doing like, what will normally take me a week, probably put half a tank in, but why not just put the full tank in? Because it's not- No, it's a preference. Yeah, because what? I'd rather have the cash in my bank account. Then what? A full tank. Just four sites that I know how much cash I have. Like, you

don't know how much cash isn't your car. You know, which cash isn't your bank account. Okay, so it's just a visibility. It's actually creative. And also, yeah. Yeah, it's for the analytics. But I can't see a side from that point. I can't see any reason why I fucking hate petrol stations. There are other customers. There's a few. There's a few times. Oh, so thanks to you, I filled up my coffee other day without having to get out of it.

So, this is a little, I can't believe I can't believe that this is a thing now. So, you have to see, so you, you, you, Apple pay pre-authorized the amount that you want to fill up. So, I say 60 pounds. Yeah. And then go to the car, put in the petrol thing, take the cap and wedge that under the handle

and then get back in the car and just sit for a bit until it's full. I don't know how that's going to go if you like it. So you know you unscrew the cap and when you put the nozzle in, you squeeze the thing and then you wedge the cap underneath it and it's the perfect size to hold the thing as if you were squeezing the petrol nozzle and then you go and say in your car So if it's bad weather or if it's cold or something you're just chilling in your car So if you're saying without having to get out of it, you don't mean you had to get out of it twice But for a brief time right but the you you paid at the pump right? Yeah, that's what I mean I didn't have to go to the kiosk So it's a lid presumably the lid's not designed not to build it's definitely not built for that I don't think no, I'm sorry This is a lid, presumably the lid's not designed. It's not to build. It's definitely not built for that. Do you not think?

No, I'm certain. Some people carry a tennis ball and wedge it underneath. I don't, I mean, quite clever. I don't like having my hand on it because it's covered in fuel. And it means the right hand sticks to the rules. The rules, the rest of the gloves, don't they? Yeah, they do do, they do do little things. I didn't think that's what they were for.

It, what do you think they were for? I don't know. I'm not telling you. If a cow needed, inseminating around the corner. I'm basically out to it, you know, cut some Just having a doubt. If a cow needed in disseminating around the corner. I'm curious you had to cut some turkey for a customer when you have the gloves. Isn't it in the US, don't they have people working at a patchmastation? They do in a lot of places. They're doing the UK as well.

They do. There's shell just down the road and gossip if they have something. But it's just like peak time. No. I see it in peak time. Just to get people to do the door quick. It will be because they can just rattle people through. But again, that's a reason to go to a premium,

premium fuel station rather than going to like Tesco. So I was just looking it up. It costs $3.64 to charge an electric car. Or it's free at the public charge. For a range of probably about 300 miles if you get a good one. So Tesco give you a solar panel to put on your garage. or it's free in the public charge. For a range of probably about 300 miles if you get a good one. So Tesla give you a solar panel to put on your garage and then it comes down, like the cable can come down, like it's so solar.

So solar Tesla. That's just really expensive. But you can get, when you can get a, a, the new one that we're bringing up. Yes, and they can get more or less, which is the one that's been around for a while, it's kind of the saloon style one. There's some good ones of that that's not super basic, floating around for about 60 grand now. You think like...

I still have a high-end car, isn't it? Look at what you get for it. Yeah, you do get an awful lot. So spacious and side as well. Yeah, the massive. So it's a luxury car that's faster than like 99% of things. So efficient, so cheap to run. Like, you know, no one, or get one second hand, I suppose.

I mean, even on PCP, even on PCP, that'd be 5 grand down, 800, 700, 700, maybe, just a lot, money to pay for a car. But your alternative would be like, that money would be looking at like a three-leader turbodies or Q7, like a nice Q7 or something like that, which is probably 500 quid a year in tax. Yeah, I save on tax and 60 quid of fortnight in fuel.

Yeah, the fuel thing is the... The key with them is, like, and that what they they got like a 300 mile range. You can get the absolute top end ones that I think are the 100D, you can get about 350 out of them, which is one of the reasons that I haven't seriously looked at them because I can't 100% get myself to Manchester and Macro. Yeah, that's it. You'd have to find a check Tesla charging point in. And that's what's, that's not.

If you're not near one, imminently you, really but that's that's only going to become less primitive with time. Yeah, so I think when the infrastructure is fully in place That's when laughing. Yeah, absolutely, but then it'll just diesel and petrol just get phased out, wouldn't it? Well, even I think it's is it not all cars are moving to diesel within the next petrol really all petrol. Yeah, is that diesel is getting phased out? Is it either way? Yeah, silly little hybrid car or something in the next petrol. I can't really, or petrol. Yeah, it's like diesel's getting faced out. Is it, or is it the other way? Yeah, silly little hybrid car or something in the meantime, and then hope for the best. Nissan Leaf. Nissan Leaf.

That was a hybrid. Three-pun-sixty-four. I think the pure electric. On loads of the... We'll get like three-pun-si-four. That pretty solid metal. Fucking pre-susbeing around thought. They're so, they get really criticized,

because of the work criticized because of their work because of their engines or whatever. It's not like something like the engine creates the battery life. Right. So it's not like a tech you don't plug it in. Yeah. But that's the same as the BMW i8.

Yeah. Yeah it is. That's a hybrid, right? It is. Yeah. But a leaf apparently beats like most sports cars over the first 20 metres or so. You get all of the power available immediately, which is why Tesla is so frightening.

Have you ever played scale electric? You pull the tree and that thing fucking away. That's true. So like those big articulate glories, like if they are, because you see how fast they go. Like fast is a fast and low. Have you seen the keynote where they're pulling away at the same laden? Oh man, it is.

Yeah, I mean, it's going to be really interesting to see what happens, I suppose, because they're going to have to have a safety thing, because it's very intraphic. Sometimes you're glad that it doesn't pull off so fast because you could have easily just put it in the car and it's all sorts of stuff. There's loads of Tesla, like self-drive videos of Tesla's avoiding collisions and so on. Have you seen, there's a video that I saw the other day of an S-Class. So the S-Class Merck is always the one that's got the apps.

Like the top, top-end new technology. And it's a video of what is presumably, it looks like an Arabian guy driving down the street. And it's just him in the back seat with no one else in the car. With his feet across the centre console with his socks socks on reading. As the car just drives itself. That's the fucking dreams. That isn't it, but like, so like all of the benefits of public transport. Yeah, exactly. But with none of the downsides.

I have a seat and quiet. Oh, amazing. Absolutely great. I hope you have a good, good, good, good, good. There's a big, oh my god. There's a big, big seat. It would take away any problem with, oh, I wanna live closer to work or whatever.

Because it suddenly makes your commute so comfortable. You may as well. You do anything in the drive, can't you? Sleep longer, what do you think? I know. Yeah, like, you can bring a little bath bag and continue doing it more than the routine. But the argument would be to get

like a four transit bun that does that. And kick the back out as just as a house. A room in your house. Yeah, a house on the way. It's so excited about that. It's such a hard on for the optimist. But you're future four transit ban. That's fully electric. Go live in the shepherds. I don't care. I'll go live where everyone's wherever's cheapest. Yeah. The best yield. Right, let's do a quick fire round, or a work round one.

So, Anki, for me, oh, that's what you used to study with for med school, right? Yeah, well, remember, so it's a spaced repetition of software based on a lot of the evidence showing that the act of actively remembering something, the act of recall is the thing which cements it in memory.

It's not repeated exposure, but it's repeated retrieval. And so Anki helped me to perform quite well in my exams a couple of years ago in med school. Last year I didn't really use it as much, unfortunately, but that was just because I was being lazy and overstretched. But lazy and over overstretched, but I made 6,000 flashcards and just reviewed them, and it gives you analytics, and so you reviewed each of them maybe three or four times over, and by that point, you're pretty familiar with the material. I think for anyone that has to memorize a large amount of information in a short time, it's probably the best way to actively cement it. You can use this, you create your own cards and then it quizzes you on the cards you made.

You can create your own order art, I mean for something like medicine where it's quite unanimous topic. Yeah, you pick which is rules, right? Yeah, so loads of people have made decks themselves, which is... Are they free? Free, yeah. Wow, that's such a fucking good resource. I know that people have made decks themselves, which is free. Are they free? Free, so. Wow. That's such a fucking good resource. Yeah, they're making a guess like for learning stuff

like languages and things like that. Maybe not. There's loads of hacks for languages. Are they reviewed? They're not, but you can usually tell. So there's a one called Flash Finals, which is like split into cardiology, neurology, endocrinology and stuff,

and it's all like they give you sources at the end of it Whoever's made the flashcards has no idea. Yeah, it's just quite an insidious thing Isn't it like if you made the flashcards and just wrong like slightly wrong? Yeah It's why I don't always want to rely on people's decks Because I'm just like yeah, what is this person? Yeah, you're assuming that they've just copied out a textbook or yeah That's pretty pretty fucking cool though. And it's just, it does a mobile app, and I'm gonna guess it'll be a mobile app's 20 pounds

for iPhone, but I, you know what, I was like, I'm paying nine grand for my... Even for some reason, if you, if you paid 20 pounds for a mobile app, there is no greater accolade. If he's paid for an app, it's just gonna straight away. I don't know, I'm not even studying medicine or anything. I'm still doing it right now. Yeah, I should have it.

It's like, if you've got an Android phone, the one redeeming thing of having an Android isn't there's free. What the hell? Yeah. So you said develop apps isn't there for Android? Yeah, I thought maybe. I think it's a bit more open. So Johnny, if you got one, green smoothies.

Oh. Have you said that? No. No. You're being come on this morning. Oh, I was. You clocked it. So, I find just generally, like vegetables and fruit and like managing my, like the quality of my diet, a bit of a pain or generally, well aware that it's something, I think like everyone feels like they should probably have more

fruit vegetables, like even like, even vegan's probably in the fruit. So everyone's like, actually, probably do with having more fruit vegetables. I don't know anyone that's like, oh, I think I'm having an vegetable. Yeah, precisely. I should really cut down on my vegetable intake. So like, I just don't like it being something, like the end of the day, if you're like, how many vegetables today? It's like some pack of peppers.

Yeah, like how can I fudge it into this? So instead just breakfast for me is green smoothie. What does what goes into a green smoothie? Spinach, blueberries, banana, scoop of bread and powder. And I add like my like creatin and stuff like that. So take all my supplements. So there's like a reasonable hit of my penetration and like all of the like health stuff that I feel like I should do is done. What blend do you recommend? I don't really matters. I think what are you using? It's a

I don't remember the brand. Not like a Nutrible. No, it's a joke on a stand. It's like an old school, do you want? Yeah, I think like you don't. My dad's got a new trouble it. Where the guy is. I think they is that well done, where you clip it in and it's the cups that we'll show it. If trouble with that. So does that detach as a flask that you can carry? Yeah, carry around. The trouble with them is the sometimes so often, especially if you use pro-empower, it expands. And because it's sealed when you put it on, it's going to take it off. And so, yeah. Okay. So have you, did you go anywhere to find recipes?

No. So you put how much finished? 200 grams. Fuck. Yeah. I'm convinced. I don't hold on. You can't be two instant grams.

No, no one filled the kitchen. No, shit. Yeah, I've optimized the stock management. So weekly shop, weekly shop, you get, don't buy frozen spinach. That is so important. I cannot repeat that enough. You told me this story, why not? So the whole thing comes in, no, it comes in like little pucks, like a hockey puck. Okay, so you get a bag of frozen spinach.

It's loads of little hockey pucks in spinach, you think that'll be fine. Throw those in. first go on the blender It goes like oh my god, what's going to happen here? And then you drink it. You're like, it's first time you eat panic. Turn it off. Check. It's alright. No, nothing's happened. Okay, I'll just leave it.

And I've still got anxiety about leaving the blender. Is it even now? I've got you. He just back off. The stuff that you do when you're in the house by yourself. Do you slowly move away from what you would do with a dog that's been with you? Yeah, so like, so what I normally do, well I make my breakfast like coffee, grease, movie. So even now this morning, put everything in, press go. There's been a few instances where I've like, you're a bit tired, you're like, I just put stuff in, slightly miss, miss,

like get the quantities wrong and it goes, it starts flowing over the thing. So like, you just press go and I'll go back to my coffee and making it on the, just looking at it. It's okay. Okay. You're making your coffee on the other side of the room. It's stopping. It's been fine. It's fine every morning. So yeah, pucks of spinach and plus they don't blend. So you're drinking it and suddenly you get hit with a pucks of spinach. It's pucks still frozen. It's minging. It's so bad. So by fresh. It's made up of steak before and it's minging, it's so bad. So by fresh, made that mistake before and it's bad. It's just not worth it. It's not, it's not more cost efficient or anything, it's just worse. So even like end of line, spinach, fresh spinach, freeze it as soon as you get home and it's good for. And then do you put it in frozen? Do you not do your fresh spinach? Yeah, put it in frozen. So fresh spinach, frozen goes very flaky. So you can compress it.

Yeah, okay. So you put it in and then with my fist, push it down. Yeah. Lubri's, but not all that. Frozen, frozen, rubri's. Frozen, rubri's fresh banana. Because I think the frozen spinach must be partially boiled or something. Because it's a man like compressed and it must be, because that's like...

To get it into a puck. Yeah, because I think... Oh, I see, yeah a mistake. I see. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like some sort of shaping machine. Or because they're just going for capacity in the bag as a bonus for sure. So, um, okay.

So you throw all of that. So it doesn't taste, it's not like the nicest thing in the world, but it's, it's like it's sufficiently palatable that you don't. Yeah, you don't drink because there's some fruit in there and a bit of a bit of a variety. You don't drink it and think, oh my god, that's a spinach drink. Yeah. There's a slight taste of it. Okay, but if you look up, it's quite refreshing. It's quite, yeah. Yeah.

I said, I just feel so clenched. What are the reported benefits coming from you? Fantastic. What are the light wonders? Honestly, it turns your pooing into a timetable event. Wow. Like, you could be more confident on your poo's than like the time the news comes on. The usage of the sun.

Yeah, it's done to the tune of your bowel movement. And there's something that that Kelly Sterex had that I still remember, that he must have said it like casually off hand years ago, which is if every day, obviously Sony applies to men, that's not getting the gender thing. It applies to people with a functioning penis. If you wake up every day, if you wake up with an erection and you have a good poo, you're probably fine health wise. How about that's just an overarching metric?

But I really like how simple it is. Yeah. And like, there's probably quite a bit of truth to it. So yeah, just very, if you grade your poo on the Bristol poo scale, like you're pretty much exactly where you need to be. Right on the money. Yeah. Like it's just a bunch of fiber, isn't it?

Yeah. It's a big, like, it's like domestic Back on the money. Yeah. It's just a bunch of fibres, isn't it? Yeah. It's a big, like, it's like domestic going through your system. Yeah. It's going to flush the felt. Yeah. That sounds, I'm going to do it. I'm going to try it. You've bought me in on slow cooking.

I know. I'm slow cooking now. It's great for you because it's really fast, just really convenient. And like, also, you can, once you've made it, you can just have it while you're like getting this stuff ready. Which I can't really be bothered with, like making breakfast in the morning. So it's really fun. I'm all right with making breakfast because I need to eat butter. Plus like putting a bread and shake it with you. Yeah, just wash the water. Do you not find because it's frozen, is it not like really fucking cold? Not as much as you'd think.

So remember you used to mix frozen blueberries in with Greek yogurt, protein powder. Really cool. And it was actually freeze the fucking. So eating them, I think, is it something about... Wiscing. Breaking it up, yeah. Yeah, okay, yeah. But like, what's nice about that combination is that's your blank canvas.

Spinach banana. You want to add in mango, papaya. So why do you settle with those ingredients? Just because it's nice, I know the quantities off the top of my head, and I have to think about it, it's not expensive. You've got to see minimal calories as well. Yeah, it's like 200, 300 calories or something. If you start, I think there's my new recipe.

It's going to be. Plus buying a bag of mango. You could buy mango. Mangoes. As did I. Diced mango and pineapple together. Really? It was really good.

When you go and have a look at some of the options for frozen vegetables. Unbelievable. They've taken it to real extreme. Buy smoothie bags. It's like you can't really. people have taken it to real extreme by smoothie bags. It's like you can't do it. We'll try it. I've got in there.

My shortcut for slow cooking now is to buy pre-prap chopped, one kilo of bags of vegetables. It's the best, isn't it? So it's the best vegetable. It's a mix of vegetable. And there's probably a little bit, tiny, a little bit of some kind of marinade that they've been thrown in with. Seat mixes or whatever. Yeah, a tiny little bit.

And then you throw that in meat, stock, water, pepper, salt, cumin, that make hours, wake up the next morning. So that's a full day's eating. So my final one is one that I don't think I've even told you too about, although you may know, VSCO cam. Oh, yeah. I'd mentioned this to you before. I think I've even told you too about all you may know, VSCO cam. Oh yeah, I've mentioned this to you before. VSCO cam, so it is an app.

Just give it away, it's curious. I know, well this is a proper, this is an actual proper life hack. So, VSCO is basically a photo editing app. It's free for, although there's an upgrade as with everything to get the super big dick version. And it's kind of similar to Instagram without the posting functionality. So you've got a bunch of preset filters on there.

But the filters on there are fucking unbelievable. So one of the ways that I've managed to make a lot of the screen grams from podcasts look really good, isn't by going on desktop and doing on Photoshop. It's by using B1. isn't by going on desktop and doing a Photoshop. It's by using B1 of A2, the two. A5 on BSEO, and it looks awesome. There's like a whole and the hype beast of that. It's like a website for supreme and super trendy streetwear.

They released two exclusive filters through VSCO and about once every month, there'll be a free one that you can download and you just as long as you make sure you're online and you add a T-pack, you end up with this thing and you can do all sorts of magic with it. You can add grain, the sharpness is a lot finer and can also go higher, a lot higher than you can

on Instagram. So especially if you're looking to create a brand, if you're doing any sort of Instagram or Tumblr or even sort of, I guess, with Facebook and Twitter as well, when you need to spend a little bit of time making sure that your pictures look perfect, there's a lot more customised ability through this app. So what I tend to do is go on a VSEO, throw a batch of filters, then you can batch export as well, put it through Instagram, do the final little tweaks, does it save them in an Instagram dimension? No. So you can,

you can crop to whatever you want. Right. But the best way, the always the best way to do it is to export is full size, full aspect, and then crop on Instagram. Because if you crop it before and then realise that you need to zoom out, you can't. But if you export full size and then crop in from there, then you've got as much of the image to play with as you can. And that's um, yeah, but the SEO, it's free, it's on App Store and whatever the equipment is for iTunes, befford, Android. Do you already have one? Google Play. Yes, but I change. Befford, Android.

Do you already have one? Google Play. Yes, but I was going to ask you, why did you say, don't buy the pre-made spooky? LAUGHTER So, something that's just been... It's been niggling, but I was like, I don't think I've gone to the video.

So, what I will do, and I imagine you're the same, is I would buy it because of the exotic fruit in there. So you would buy one of the rhubarb, a typical heart. Like, and then you get it, and you pour it out, and you're like, right, this is mainly, like, and mainly cucumber melon with a little bit of,

so that they under-provide on the, what is obviously the rare, more expensive fruit? Because you think the rare fruit, like the nail that like misshapen banana, or like, yeah, I see. So like, what you're getting is just frozen versions of regular like, playing fruit,

which it like, it's fair enough, I understand why they do it, but they're just doing it for people who want to just, the sort of person he makes, makes like puts that plus like some yoghurt in a smoothie maker and has it in the morning. I just think once, once you've had, like the pivots of a smoothie is not for like a nice thing.

It's extremely good. The purpose of a homemade smoothie. Yeah, yeah. Because Innocent, I've just got that game on. I love that. You can't, the thing youhe taste and I've tried. Yeah, yeah. Tropicana, Tropicana have just started venturing into the smoothie market.

I think they should stick to issues with bits and with bits and just great orange. Yeah. But no, I mean, the thing is as well with innocent smoothees, you can go. And I did, you remember when you came in before and in my fridge there was like a case of it. So nice. It was like, it was on two pounds or one pound fifty-five. Oh yeah. And I just camed it.

And you're like, right, really? I'm seeing that red one. Yeah, so good. There's just so decadent on it. You can't believe that it's healthy. Yeah. Because it's tastes so intensely sweet. Well, that's what happened.'s tastes so intensely sweet.

Well that's what happened. You in three years' time when you've refined the exact amount of spinach per year. And I make, you cover it like I've got here. Just fucking your lips. It's like a lab in an industrial estate. There's this conical flasks everywhere. Doing it out the back of an RV.

Oh, I'm going mad, as it is. Yeah. You get that? Yeah, good. Good record watch breaking bad. Just finished it. It was a stressful experience. What most people enjoy?

Why did you ask your fan? Well, just because Chris did a, like an image branding one. And I imagine like if you and I went into the propane world, there's so much shit. Oh, I see. So I was thinking, there's loads. I think that's a whole other episode of it. That's what I mean. Just the stuff we use, like the stuff that makes things.

We do like like propane tools. Because I think all of these are personal tools that we're seeing so far. Yeah. When you get to Disney's, when you're talking about how to expedite, like if I could do, like you've got loads on like don't you? Facebook, plugins and stuff like that. I could sit and do. All right, we'll do that another time. Yeah, I think social media, I'm sitting down with, how do you know? So coming up soon, I've got Johan Harry,

author of Last Connections, I'm absolutely shitting my pants to sit down with him because he's a fucking like an absolute monster, an intellectual behemoth. So I'm sitting down with him, tomorrow, I'm sitting down with Corialin I really create a release into now all the songs a loom yeah

breathing you running at you over a re-mountain smoke so his voice I want to find out if his voice actually sounds like that if you put it I think it I think it sounds exactly like that. I just thought cast no does he sound like that yeah I wanted to, I wanted to not listen to any of his stuff before I chatted to him. I've been tempted to listen to it for ages, but they don't know who's coming on. So is that right? That's right. So that's gonna be the first one in modern wisdom

that's actually been based around meditation. So I'm gonna go from beginning to deepening your practice and to try and find if there's some principles for practice and some confirmed adaptations that he thinks. So we're going to find like no matter what level you're going into meditation that you're going to learn some shit. Hope that's true. And then him, Johan Harry and Tuesday this week, hopefully I'm going to get Quinn Henneck during the training systems. That is going to be unbelievable. Some of his videos are fantastic. The ones that he does about it's going to be hopefully I'm going to try and get him onto the line of thinking about mobility myths. He loves that stuff. He's just a, he's like a myth buster, it's

like Dimunca for everything to do with it. He's like anti-stretching, anti-film rolling just as, does he not have those people do the 1990 hip thing? He does a bunch of stuff. He's not, he's not necessarily anti, I think that he just understands very well. His website is clinicalathlete.com. So he just understands physiologically what the adaptations are and how you can best he just understands physiologically what the adaptations are and how you can best utilize them. So you're going to learn about mobility, you're going to learn a Johan Hari lost connection to like fucking hellswearing, I'm going to learn there like a written what appears to be the

7-doll meta analysis on depression and anxiety for the modern world. He's also Johan Hari's just as of three weeks ago, four weeks ago, taking six months break from your social media. That would be cool. So I'll learn about that. Isn't there, then? So, thank you very much. You're going to end up doing that, aren't you? Six months break now, you can't, I can't. I'd love to. I can't wait until the day when I don't need to be on social media, but for as long as we have a company, that's not going to be possible. Why don't you pay me and yourself? No, I'm not sure.

I think it would. You said just grab it. What do you just pay me? What do you mean? If you had a... make a manual of Chris. This is how to be Chris. Make a Steve manual of Chris.

And then say, like, in these situations. If X there. And Y is, just tell me. So like once a day, someone comes, like, someone comes, like, sits there, has like a herbal teen, and tells you, this is what I'm today. This is what happened today, Chris, these are things you need to know. How would you like to move forward?

And then, it's causing you on your light phone. And my life on, my life on, my life on's going alright. During office hours. I got very good. I got one. It could definitely, it could be done. It could definitely be done. It could be done. And it would be the most interesting project ever.

Ever. Yeah. Ever. Ever. All type from all of history and all of the future. This is quite a prospect. Like we're going to launch the where on the cusp of that. Oh, it could be you. One of the time to be alive. Wow. It is. Right. Thank you. We were supposed to talk about relationships this evening. Were you the last one? I didn't do I think. You were the last one. Okay, to be honest, it was Anki. It was going to be slow cooking,

but you kind of discussed that already. We'll do slow cook. We'll do proper debrief and slow cooking next. That'll be good. I just made that cider chicken one. How was it? Really good. Would recommend. Would you? Man, that, that, that, I'm going to make that heaven of public. That, does that recipe so that one? Business. Restart like someone else's recipe. Convert to 3%. I'll be doing it on business. Right, K. Bye, Dan. Bye, Dan.

you
