Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi friends. Lifehacks 105, we are back again today with our favorite tips for a productive and efficient life. Me, Johnny and Yusif are going through the most comprehensive list that we've done so far, ranging from how to shake hands with people to why and Muslim upbringing gives you an obsessional level of toilet hygiene, how to move through a crowded people, and an awful lot more. Now last week I asked if you had the time to share the episode with some friends and I'd like to give a shout out to James McCarthy who hijacked his company's internal internet and sent the happiness podcast with Susanna Hallanen to a hundred people. So if you, I don't want you to do anything illegal,
Starting point is 00:00:52 but if you do something cool like that and manage to share the episode on a big network, please let me know, give me an Instagram DM or email it in and I might give you a shout out next week, but thanks James, you've smashed it. On the subject of Susanna Hallan in and Happiness, the six-minute diary that I suggested on that, I keep on getting screenshots from people saying how much they're enjoying it. So in case you missed that episode, have a look at the six-minute diary on Amazon. It's my favorite way to keep up with gratitude and journaling both of which are foundational skills that Susanna said science says are absolutely crucial to leading a happy life.
Starting point is 00:01:35 So check them out on Amazon. I'm a massive fan. I use the product myself and I have done since the beginning of the year, even before I started the podcast. I couldn't recommend them more highly. But for now, it's life hacks time. Oh, yeah, also the show notes for this episode are incredibly comprehensive. And I've tried to link as much of what we talk about down there. So if you want to do some further readings and further learning, there's YouTube links, Amazon links, blog posts, and pretty much everything that we go through is linked in there. So feel free to follow that through if you want to learn a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Lifehacks 105, we are back again. Say hello. Johnny News from ProPin Fitness are here. So Lifehacks is the most requested episode that we do and it feels like the lowest hanging fruit. I reckon we could just make another channel that's just Lifehacks. Definitely. Let's do this full time. Although Johnny, you seem to think you don't have any.
Starting point is 00:02:44 No. No, I don't. I can talk about it. You can't see. You can't see the wood for the trees. That's why you are so optimized. So I don't risk the groove too hard. Your threshold is low, is too low for life hacks though. So, so Chris had too high. Too high. Yeah. Chris had a dairy product on it. Yeah, so I mean, right, yeah, for how you, yeah, you ought to open up scobly. Sure. So Johnny has my list. This is my list, so do you haven't got your life box? Good, I'll go with you. I will.
Starting point is 00:03:15 So I'm going to start having to categorize these into like physical, digital, financial, and then different rooms. But my most recent one, which I'm so excited about, is a shot duffer, which is an Arabic word for bum spray. Now, I got one of these fitters. Got one of these fitters in my bathroom recently. 50 pounds, high pressure, bum spray, high pressure, bum spray, that just, so, right, this is the justification for a product like this. Everywhere, east of here,
Starting point is 00:03:51 everyone has a shop offer. But, if you, okay, if you get a bit of poo on your face, I'm just gonna get a bit of dry tissue paper and wipe it off a couple of times, there we go, that'll do, like, you'd wash it with something and then you clean it. And so... What about if there was going to be more poo coming from your face all the time? Then... Well, you get some easy access spray that you can just hose it down and then go... So I've seen the holes that you're talking about and the pressure that comes out of it is a bit terrifying.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Do you ever find if you're too central with the spray that you accidentally give yourself an element? It's feasible, yeah. If you're relaxed, if you're relaxed, the... Pushed out. Yeah, what's that? What's relaxing like that? What's this? Medi-head, if you donate your illness then... Yeah, so the question is, what is the, how much ring tension does your spring to have and what water pressure is required to make the valve break? Yeah, so to go. If you've got a loose pelvic floor, then don't, yeah, like then... You just feel like...
Starting point is 00:04:59 I don't imagine you pointed out Uranus and breast go, do you? Yeah, you do. Directly out Uranus. I've got quite a lot of water balloons. Imagine you pointed out your aim as some breast go, do you? Yeah, you do. Directly out your aim. But I've got quite a lot of water balloons. So I think like, Not that girl out of Charlie and the chocolate factory that had blue brusdon,
Starting point is 00:05:11 violence, but a violent polar go. Yeah, not the gusters, he's a bad person, isn't he? Yeah, I guess it's me. But yeah, like you can always pull the reducing valve down a little bit if it's too much. The other thing that I saw someone post on my life hack,
Starting point is 00:05:23 which I think is just, is just a standard thing, is they were like, oh, spready cheeks when you go to the toilet. Like, surely everyone does that. It's the same as trying to squeeze one out from between clenched butt cheeks. Yeah, or lean forward. Like, well, no one's like trying to have it,
Starting point is 00:05:39 trying to have it, definitely don't try and have a shit at the top of a deadlift. Yeah, like it's, so I think some, I know we are saying your thresholds too high, but for some people you thresholds too low. Well, so I would take your... It's a short offer. Short offer. Bless you.
Starting point is 00:05:57 A step back. You can get at the history of means and so forth. So I was listening to a podcast that Shane Parish did from knowledge project is a guy behind phantom street. And on that, they said the exact same thing that pretty much everywhere east of here, they use moist toilet paper. Use moist toilet paper. That's my normal M.O. if I'm outside of Shottafu zone.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Is Modus operandi? Yeah. Wet to the toilet paper. Is modus operandi? Yeah. Wet to the toilet paper. Wet to the toilet paper? You're totally right. You would not usually wipe something dirty with something dry.
Starting point is 00:06:32 So that what I was saying about taking a step back, why, so you need so much wiping, required that you need a pressurized hose in your bathroom. Why not just grease me with this? Yeah, remove the knee. Have we talked about green smoke? Yeah, we've done it.
Starting point is 00:06:47 We've done it. But you haven't talked about why you shave your inner. I haven't in a long time. Because it's like a jungle down there now. So all of this is just, it just comes from, I think a Muslim upbringing gives you an obsessional level of toilet hygiene. Ainal hygiene. Yeah. Which is weird because I'm always thinking about that the
Starting point is 00:07:15 funnier it is. Just thought of another one. Ainal hygiene. It's nothing to do with it. I just want to just for a segue, the last time I looked at you, so slap top during one of these episodes was when we did Lifehack Fails, which never made it on the podcast, but when I was reading his list, so it's one of the funniest lists I've ever read in my life, but one of the things it said was just joined a cult. So if you really, really want to know, you're going to have to get onto that with
Starting point is 00:07:40 Lifehack Fails. If you want to hear the Lifehails live fails, so one at one episode, comment below and he'll do it because traffic. Because traffic. Because traffic. Right. Do you want to go blah blah, do you want me to go? Well, I'm reeling from the anal hygiene, to be honest. Okay, I have some time.
Starting point is 00:07:59 All right, so my, probably one of my biggest tips of related to anal hygiene is, and this sounds so basic, but it's also a bit of a weird thing to say, but a lot of people talk to us about their pooing. Like I have a lot of conversations with a lot of people about their poo. As opposed, we tell people what to put into their bodies. And so the thing is that is the product of that. The easiest way to just make pooing a brilliant experience, like set your watch by it, just up your green vegetables, like 500 grams of Kilo broccoli a day, and I guarantee you won't have anybody to eat 500 grams to a Kilo broccoli.
Starting point is 00:08:40 But it's not that much. If you blend it down as well. Like, if you go to protein fitness.com, you see it. It's like poo. There's an article on there. And so it you are. Well, top to two. So in fact, that's my tip. Fine. OK, of course.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Like, it's overlooked, but actually, like, pooing can be a really horrendous thing. What was the Kelly Starrett quote? If you wake up every morning with an erection, if you're a man, or we have a penis, wake up every morning with an erection and have a pill every day, then you're probably quite healthy. Physiologically, nothing worry about. And like, as sort of metrics go, I really like that. But there's a famous, like, old doctor, you know, when doctors were like polymaths, and it says that it has a quote, like like there is nothing no greater pleasure in this life than a good bowel movement. Well, I really agree. It's also strange that anything, making anything go out of you, feels fantastic.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And there's very few, I can't think of a single exception to that. You want it out. Just up your green vegetable intake. So dark, leafy green verge broccoli, just add it into your diet. Should we move on from Poland? That was my tip. No, yeah, no. I think I like that one stuff. I like that one stuff. I like such an opening. Bump stuff. Yeah, fun. It is an opening or a clothing. Do you have any bum stuff? No, I haven't got any bum stuff. So first one that I'm going to do is one thing. Break it by the bum. Everyone, yeah, we can do some more ones.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Everyone who follows me online will know which is eat, sorry. Not related to bum stuff. It will be, it will translate into bum stuff. It's eventually, it's a bum content. So, soren is the brand. Yeah. What is, soren?
Starting point is 00:10:18 So, it's a malt love, which is a fruit love. So, soren make anything else? No, they just make malt love. They make it like a cake thing? No, I think so. Not sure. But we don't need to worry, you do not need to worry stuff with anything else that's sorry make.
Starting point is 00:10:32 All you need to be concerned about is the apple and sultana and banana mutlof. So, good example of how much press likes this. We came around here to watch the CrossFit Games a couple of weeks ago. Or a wherever point in the past when I've been listening to this. I bought a few sleeves of many ones thinking I was planning to go around. I think we had one each and I watched a bit of what's about the games when to get one like Chris where have they gone. I thought you
Starting point is 00:10:57 finished I just by default. I've seen Chris put away large amounts of hate in people get disgusted by the way that I eat malt love which is fucking crazy because they're looking at me eating malt love like you would look at someone taking out an unsliced love of bread and just biting off the edge of it which is totally not what's happening. At all because it's very different. It's very moist, it's like a dessert almost, isn't it? You can slice it but are it inputted the toasted? But it's just unnecessary. So I think buttered molts are fantastic. It's really, but you're just adding in steps to something that doesn't need to be made any better. So the best way to eat souring, first of
Starting point is 00:11:37 the main advantage of it is it is impossible to get that much, that many carbs into yourself that easily. No other food is that calorie dense in terms of carbohydrates. Honey. Not food. It's easy. It's just so easy to get it in. So you're like, right, a block like that, because you just go, it's like a tortilla, so you open it up, wrap it up and then you just feed it up and then, so when you're doing something like silicon sealant or... Yeah, you push from the back. Yeah, like all like a... Prickstick.
Starting point is 00:12:19 A polyphilic stick, you just push it from the back. You can get it gun, you can probably buy one from Wilco for potlo and just squeeze it. Yeah, exactly. And then it takes 120 grams of carbs in a single. I mean, anyone who's watching should know, should be, there should be eating sorry right now. So just on that note, obviously, everyone knows about the magical carb fat combination
Starting point is 00:12:41 that just makes food irresistible and you just keep eating it. So like a croissant is the perfect example because it's so unfilling and you can just punch it. But it has garlic to it. Really? So think of like, oh so as in like, I'm talking savory, you're talking sweet. Not not too a croissant. No, I can't. I see. So yes, salt and salt makes you less full from a fatty meal. So which makes sense, Like you add salt to chips and you can eat more of them. And so the other thing that if you're rice inclined, it rains me and rice.
Starting point is 00:13:14 You've been to like a Persian restaurant. You have the rice with the butter on top and the saffron. And it's really like becomes very slippery rice and you can just put it on. I did buy it. So the rice is quite dry, isn't it? Usually it's not so full. There's something special that the magic that is sorry and I don't think it can, I don't think anyone really understands how it works.
Starting point is 00:13:32 So you can eat all of this through the flavours because there are some really nice products. So chocolate, chocolate's really good. Original, I just leave that, that's too basic. You don't want to do that. I think that has to be buttered. That's a big in here. That's big in here.
Starting point is 00:13:44 That's entry. You don't really need to start on that. Just go straight for the banana. All you want is banana. Don't fuck about with these lunchbox loaves because you get started and then you stop. So you eat the entire. So it's just not on the entire lov. It's, and if you need to gain weight
Starting point is 00:13:58 or if you are an athlete or if you are a human being that requires sustenance, bison, there we go. That's my life hack. So there's banana, there's like five fruit, which is very nice. Five fruit, there's apples and apples, apple, saltana. They did a blood orange and chocolate chip that was a screen for special for Halloween. I got hold of some of that. I got a guy. I got a guy. I got a guy at HQ. And my life goal is to become sponsored by Sorry. Sorry at Sorry HQ.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I think you can instantly get that. Man, if I'm about many people after that. If I'm in here next, on the next Lifehack's Lifehack's 106 and we're all just wearing Sorry T-shirts, they'd be sorry T-shirts, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, bright yellow. We make you look good. Thanks man.
Starting point is 00:14:44 You look nice in your heart. Anyway, moving on. What make you look good. Thanks man. You look nice and young. Anyway, moving on. What's next? When, when, when? This is your one yellow. Well, the scone. I don't know. I have a yellow inter-shakari t-shirt
Starting point is 00:14:54 that would know when you fit me now. I just have a green forward Russia t-shirt. I didn't hear the forward Russia t-shirt. Moving on. Okay. How do we talked about micro-bugs? No. Is this a... And why the thing?
Starting point is 00:15:07 So this is another physical one. Let's move on to a digital one. Cool. So workingmemory.txt. So this is Carl Newport's idea of you have a permanent capture available on your computer with easy access at any time. So I always talk about like the, most people don't have a capture. They might have some way of sometimes capturing some things in certain circumstances,
Starting point is 00:15:31 but they don't have a universal way to just something comes onto their general inbox, into their awareness, and they have to do something with it or just capture it down and then process it into one of their systems. This allows you, at least while you're at a computer, is the equivalent of carrying a notebook round with you. So you'll be doing a task, something comes into your head or something happens, you'll are going to need to fix that, but you don't want to be derailed from the task that you're currently doing. So you open workingmemory.txt, dump it down in there, get back to what you did. Just like a notepad. Yeah, so some people use a note pad file,
Starting point is 00:16:05 you know the app, no pad, like propels, and note as one. Yeah, or notes. I use, because I use Evernote for everything else, you can have a little elephant in the top of the taskbar, which you click on and it opens up like an unformatted bit of text, you can just dump ideas into the. Does it actually add it to Evernote though?
Starting point is 00:16:23 You can, but I just need this. It's a fight for. Why don't you Alfred and then add it to Trullo or? Yes, you can do that as well with Alfred. But having something that thought I need to get rid of. When you first, the first one that we did on 101 was capture. Capture.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Have a capture. And it also came back up on 103. There's so what because because capture I've got a list of stuff for capture because you need Like that's why Toby is a capture for like you make sense you have links Yeah, you're busy. You're driving whatever you just you just want to put it into something and then yeah best capture So my one of my biggest problems is the capture is when I'm driving So I'll be I'm driving and I'm like, I've thought something.
Starting point is 00:17:05 So now it's just, hey Siri. That's good. So how do you do it? Make a note, you just say remind me to. And it, okay, come on. So you only need to take it, you only need like three words of the key right and it'll bring it back.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah, it's a weird thing. The only thing is, if anyone has any suggestions, because iOS 12 is coming out and they've improved the voice notes function and it syncs with Mac and all of that stuff, if someone can find a way to really quickly do a voice note. So I put from the bottom, add it to your... It's not as part, maybe in the beta, it's not part of the options there. So does it open the app when you do it from there? Because you can have it in your dock at your home, so you can swipe up from the bottom and open voice notes from there, but then you'd have to press and hold.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Are you talking about swipe up from the bottom and just press and hold it? Yeah, so in some way, I know that sounds really pedantic to minimise the number of steps to do something, but it would be nice. Yeah. You should use Siri more. Siri never, never. So you are using an iPhone 5C. You get, you get, but Siri improves the more you use it.
Starting point is 00:18:09 That's the, the hay Siri thing. See? There you go. She won't show up now. It, it, that's improved exponentially. The more I've used it, there's hundreds of times where I'm lying there like, Hey, Siri. Hey, Siri, and nothing. And it just hates me. I wrote. And your, your phone gets me over in 10 hours.
Starting point is 00:18:25 But having that as it, so that will work. That can be across either side of the room. And I think of something. I have total vouchers. Have you seen Alexa? I don't think so. Alexa, Google Home and Waffle, Shite. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Absolutely, Shite. Well Julian was having sex with his wife, and Alexa just went, boom, that's nice. And he was like, with his wife and I like to just went boom That's nice and he was like right Right Johnny be got one So this is a book recommendation. So I'll have yep So I listened to on record by recommendation of Ben if he's, a book called Living With A Seal by a guy called Jesse Itzler, I think. Not one of those deals. So this guy is like mega successful,
Starting point is 00:19:15 done multiple businesses, his wife created Spanx. So like very, very successful couple. Some fucking good genetics in that family, yeah. Yeah, and he was like, right. So he was at a marathon or an ultra marathon, but it was a team ultra marathon. And there was, so everyone's there on the team. And he describes it as this massive black shredded guy who just did the whole thing himself. And he's like, gets to the end and he's like, limping and just bleeding everywhere. And he finds his contact details, looks him up, realizes he's like limping and just bleeding everywhere and he finds his contact details, looks
Starting point is 00:19:45 him up, realizes he's like extremely decorated, maybe see it. Is he the one that wrote the post of our e-broad like four burners, foot? It's not David Goggins. I don't know. No, no. So Gatsey's details rings him up and says, I want to pay you to just live with me for a month and he's like, I'll do it. He's David Goggins. David Goggins. Who's David Goggins? The seal. Oh mate, he doesn't reveal his name. David Goggins.
Starting point is 00:20:09 He just calls him seal. It's David Goggins. David Goggins. Yeah. How do you know that? The whole time in the book, he's like, I can't say his name. And if it's not David Goggins, then there's another guy that's done the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Right. And got into a living there. Did he make him jump in a frozen lake? Yeah, yeah, it's David Guggins Not the author the Navy seal is David Guggins, okay, and the guy that you're talking about the author is called Jesse Itzler Jesse Itzler, let me to listen to Joe Rogan's podcast search Joe Rogan Jesse Itzler and you will get to hear the behind the scenes to that book Ship me Where he says exactly what it was like. It was like an exception.
Starting point is 00:20:46 He made him jump in me. He's just watching Johnny butcher Alfred. And it's really upsetting me. Why did I butcher it? So he's the equivalent of watching your mum like type HTT. What because I did Chrome. I did Chrome and then use Google. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:02 It's just inefficient. And then move the mask over to the little arrow. But it was effective. So I'm going to do, hold on. OK. Well, I mean, what have you got the laptop up for? To check it was, Jesse, it's a lot. So the reason that that's a good book is you realize,
Starting point is 00:21:18 so the whole time, the guys like getting woken up at 4am and made to run nine miles and then. Did he pay this month? Yeah. Did he go to the only condition got the only condition is that he has to do everything that he tells him to do. So he builds up to the point of doing a thousand pushups in a day, he's making him running in the snow. It's awful.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Thousand pushups is not that bad actually. I mean, it's like every 20 minutes, you need to do a little set. Is it every hour you do 100? I think for an untrained person. You're not factoring in the cumulative fatigue by the time you've done like 800. So I've done the Armstrong program where I was doing a 400 a day,
Starting point is 00:21:56 like in the morning before I had to work. And that was, did you want to work with an unbelievable chest pump? Did you build up, you built up to 400 a day, okay? So this guy's going from scratch. So it's from zero to a thousand a day in a month chest pump. Did you build up your build up to 400 a day? I did. This guy's going from scratch. So from zero to a thousand a day and about in a month's time. OK. But anyway, so the point is I think so many people,
Starting point is 00:22:13 we get so many people saying, I can't do that because I'll over train or I can't die like that. I'll be too hungry or I can't wake up early because it's too difficult. You listen to this and you're like Bollocks are like this guy's getting Working up like he there was one thing he did where he made him do He made him go for a run every two hours for 48 hours or something. Yeah
Starting point is 00:22:35 And he's including sleep and stuff. Yeah, every way to my every two hours And he like goes in to get the David Goggins because of seal which I think's better I think you ruined it for me actually. So it goes into seals bedroom and he's sleeping in an oxygen chamber that he's created in this guys's flat. Why? And just because I've got to be ready for anything. Oh I see. This old philosophy. I was given it a big one, the bigger one about all the like push ups, but actually running every two hours, even if it's 100 meters, no way. So then he goes, he makes him get into that icy lake, and he like, it turns out that the lakes are a lot colder than they expect, and then he rots the run of the mountain.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Like, I sat and thought about it, like, I'm such a little bitch. Like, this guy's just got me the Navy SEAL training for a month. Sounds like a great book. I'm gonna, I'll get hold of that then if you'd, that's cool. And then, so that's the take home is like, I think he says at the end, how do I get back to that? I don't know. The take note, the take home is like,
Starting point is 00:23:32 your body will adapt to pretty much whatever you throw at it. The higher thing is getting you putting yourself through that process, which is why you need accountability. I think, I think accountability and someone to direct you is the main, the main missing part of what most people have got. For instance, recently I've started on programming from Moria programming for CrossFit as part of my rehab and I haven't missed a single day. Up until now I've always missed days of training but I know if I miss a day of training that it's going to pop up on Fitbot to my coach and he's gonna go on his brand new laptop.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Get someone gets in there. What? It's not even anywhere near the, it's just on the metal. I know, but it's not my laptop. Anyway. So sorry. Right, so I am going to do swipe right on Spotify. So if you use Spotify on your phone, this is unbelievable. Now, you only found out about the buy accidentally doing it. So if you go on to open up Spotify,
Starting point is 00:24:32 browsing through tracks that you want to play, if you press and hold on a track and then swipe to the right, you'll add it to the play queue. Johnny's doing it on the album art. He's fucking. DMA. DMA. Yeah, swipe right to add to a cue. I'm not really cool as you can start a playlist. So you can be playing through a bunch of songs. That's right, being left. It can be huge. There you go. So that'll play next and then it'll jump back to the playlist you're in. So let's say you have to say, I hate having to interrupt it. Yeah, so let's say that you're listening to an album and you're like, oh,
Starting point is 00:25:11 and listen to bring with your eyes into new album. But I really fancy just having three songs from misery signals and one from you, me at six in there. Quickly jump out, search, swipe, swipe, search again, swipe again, and it'll play those in order. Then jump back to the playlist that you're in. And say, like, that is especially for training, it's like making a miniature playlist immediately. And then if you've got your saved songs, you can create a little order of them by doing it that way as well. It's really cool. So yeah, you should. That's what I brought up. So I brought it up. It's quite fine. Okay, so back to a physical one for me. Microbikes, I can't remember if we did this in 103,
Starting point is 00:25:50 but these are BPA3s, a bisphenol A, which is one of these plastics that secrete, that releases estrogen. So you don't want that. So it's really angry and it's sometimes it's passive aggressive. In a sort of cyclical nature. Yeah, so yeah, days. So don't you want to avoid that? These bags don't have it. You put vegetables or chicken or whatever in. Could be frozen, could be room
Starting point is 00:26:14 temperature, whatever. You pull off a little sticky bit, fold it over, put it in the microwave, and it microwaves things to tender perfection within two minutes, three minutes. So you could take chicken and because it's a semi-permeable bag, so you can put it on a plate and it fills up with steam that's inherent in the chicken and then like pumps in and out, so it keeps it circulating. Cooks it through evenly, makes it really tender and it's just the best way to cook. How much are they? They are like three pounds for 200 something like that.
Starting point is 00:26:49 So like I bought a block of them last year and I've barely used half of them so far. That's a really good bloody excellent. That's awesome. So something I do is just like I'll put in some like a block of frozen ginger, some chicken thighs, some veg, maybe a bit of spice or something, fold it over, put in the thing.
Starting point is 00:27:11 So, it's a fast, slow cooker. Yep. Lovely tender chicken. Nice, that's good. Block, you got all. You're the first person that told me that you can microwave chicken. I have a real recipe. I have a real recipe.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Oh, so yeah, you can't microwave chicken on the bow because something to do with the way that bone reacts with the thing. Yeah, it doesn't cook the meat around the bone. You can only use boneless chicken when you microwave. There you go. That's what you've got two for one. There we go. Don't microwave boneless chicken. Yeah, man. Well, actually, that you can microwave chicken, but not boneless. Three for one. Well, actually, that you can microwave chicken, but not burn this. Three for one. Have I mentioned my coffee machine? No. No, no.
Starting point is 00:27:51 No. So, this was, I'm stealing as well, but this was mentioned, this was recommended to me by someone else. It's a really, it was a 40-quid, which in the context of like a coffee machine is not very much money. And it's just a drip filter coffee in the context of like a coffee machine is not very much money. And it's just a drip filter coffee machine. What's the brand? I think the like pod coffee machine is like 70 to 100. Oh yeah, yeah, I can't remember the brand. I can get a link for the show now.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Show now it's below. But basically it's a cupcake filter which is metal mesh so there's no like you don't have to get the paper filter. Yeah, okay. And it's got a special name for the thing that it's very similar thing you've got in the office. Okay, yeah. But just having that on a timer for 6am has been a massive shift for me. It's 40 good. Cause I, yeah, and like, and what does it take? Ground. Yeah, ground. Yeah. So I've also bought a coffee grinder, but I'm a bit of a coffee snob like I wouldn't just have a fish in our door. I think a fish in our door. Yeah, like don't don't know. You don't mind. That's the thing. That's the difference between a fish in our door and snob because you don't mind having a shit coffee. Yeah, as long as you have some coffee. Yeah, but you get So when I'm at home, and I can't mix some nice coffee, I like to.
Starting point is 00:29:07 So I put the grounds in the night before, and then just, I wait, I walk downstairs, and you've got, and there's a hot jug of coffee that's really nice, that keeps it hot. And you've refined the blend to. So you can set the strength and set the, obviously the amount of water, the amount of coffee.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I'm getting a day's getting déjà vu about the coffee machine and the Spotify, swipe right. Haven't done. So the Spotify swipe right, definitely not, I've not heard that before. Okay. And that one wasn't, he's done, he did take coffee into work to save you money
Starting point is 00:29:39 on the double, double contiguous. Ah, yeah. So, don't worry man, okay. So, next up for me, I've been wanting to do this one for ages and I didn't really know how to put it across. So if you are in this day and age and you're still using the word gay as a colloquial, casual word that essentially means rubbish, you're just asking for trouble. Like you will get someone somewhere is going to find real problem with it and rightly so, because you shouldn't be using that word.
Starting point is 00:30:16 So I think a lot of the time what people mean when they say gay is lame or rubbish, but what comes out is a word which is quite fiery, you know, it lists its reactions. They don't mean that gay is rubbish, that's just the word that they go to for. So what I realized was, this is a long time ago, it was like five, longer than five years ago, I needed to cycle that word completely out of my language. I didn't want to resort to it at all, but like when you still be told, you got a fuck. It was just, it was reactionary for me. So what I needed to do was come up with a solution for how I was no longer gonna be, no longer going to use that word. And for me, it was cycling out the word gay and using the word lame. The advantage of using the word lame is it sounds so much like the word that you were using, that you, it's a seamless transition between the two.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And after forcing yourself to say the word lame about for three weeks, four weeks, the word gay is out of your vocabulary. And you're now, you've insulated yourself from being in the center of a big scandal. So I'm going to be the nob and the devil's advocate for this. But lame, this is people who are looking to be offended by stuff, but some people who can flake lame with someone who is paralytic or disabled. And so then it's like, oh, it's referring to it as that. But I think the defense is something can be lame with no reference to that. Whereas if you're calling something gay, that you can't fall back on like, oh, I just meant like the happy version of gay. It's not quite the same.
Starting point is 00:31:59 But like the words Cretin, idiot, imbeiel, Moron, all of those were clinical terms for someone with subnormal IQ until they became stuttered. Indultenated. Yeah, they just became a standard vocabulary and then they became a... So the etymology of all of those words are medical. They're all medical words and it is spastic. I suppose the difference there is that what someone's using that to almost try and get that across
Starting point is 00:32:25 it, aren't they? Whereas saying something's gay, you aren't saying that person's home, that's homosexual, you're just using it as a way of people have completed that word with meaning, lame or rubbish, essentially. So like you were saying you stubbed your toe, you are shit, you don't mean like, oh, feces, you mean like it's just a bad thing. That's when when people say it's the same circuitry that's like screaming, like a primal scream. If you've ever heard someone accuse someone else that's being a whim, if they've ever used the F word, to rather not say because that's a little bit that elicits a little bit
Starting point is 00:32:59 more. That's the bundle of sticks. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Pop balls. Pop Yeah. Uh, uh, uh, pop balls, uh, pop balls, uh, baggit balls. Pog,
Starting point is 00:33:09 ball, I've seen them in the three. Oh, faggits. They don't mean that's a bundle of poor balls. Mm-hmm. You're a poor ball.
Starting point is 00:33:19 They don't mean that. But I think we just start using that. What they mean is you're a, a whoosh, you're an answery boy, you're a pussy. I wonder if worse and when. Probably. Anyway, my point is that you shouldn't be using the word gay to refer to anything really and cycling it out and using the word lame is the easiest route that I think you can
Starting point is 00:33:38 find to doing it. And once you start doing it, lame actually sounds, a lot of people understand what you mean, a lot more effectively. And it sounds quite good, it's nicely rounded. There are some gay people I know that use gay as a derogatory term as well, but I think it's almost like... Black people use me anyway. Yeah, it's kind of like a semi-ironic thing, isn't it? You're allowed to.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I've just... I've read the other page. I'm loving each other, Puckies. I was laughing at the video from who is America. Yeah. But definitely watch that series. Well, you know, in ISIS, if they think it's your homosexual, it is the worst thing that could happen. So you need to drop the pants and shout America. And it's on it.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Yeah, definitely watch it if anyone has it. It's worth watching as well. It's not really a comedy. It's just frightening. Yeah, it's really an emotional experiment about such a barricade. Trolling all of America, isn't it? He's seen Robert Atkinson's thing about offense recently. He's got in a load of shit, right? I don't know how much trouble he's got in,
Starting point is 00:34:36 but I think it's fantastic. I don't see. He's basically saying that the culture, the society, is moving more and more towards this idea that people, like we should protect people from being offended and he's saying actually the flip side, like we should, people should be offended, getting offended all the time, because it's the only way to insulate yourself from it. This 90's stay culture is what the snowflake kind of community in America has come from. I don't know, I'd be interested to hear in the comments below if viewers from America do see this,
Starting point is 00:35:05 but to me everything we see from America that comes out is kind of like a sitcom. I can't tell the difference between a seminar that's got someone shouting at Ben Shapiro and an episode of Arrested Development. Like, you don't mean it's just all one, the same. This is Poe's Law, isn't it, where if you were to, on the internet, if you were to try and characterise and do as a sarcastic post or something about, about a view and it's taken seriously or you can't actually characterise it enough, but I'm going to have to find the exact answer. I understand what you mean, though.
Starting point is 00:35:44 So yeah, my point is that in America at the moment, it does seem like there's this hypersnove, like, super protectionist nanny state kind of thing. That it seems like a parody. So this was it, it was like without a clear indicator of sarcasm and the authors in the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views. So obviously exaggerated
Starting point is 00:36:05 that it can't be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the parody views. So that's the problem when people take real world examples to extremes. When people become offended at absolutely anything, you can't take the piss out of being offended at anything because someone actually was. Well, it's impossible to parody a creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake that for a genuine creationist article. Yeah, fair enough. So. Yeah, so it's a my point of really just leading on from what you were saying, which I understand
Starting point is 00:36:32 it's like, don't say this because it defends people. But it's like in the same way that, you know, people are now opposed to vaccines. Like, all that is is exposure to something to build resilience to them and actually like. The more you insulate yourself, the more sensitive and raw you become. Precisely. Because eventually you will get offended by something and then it will be cataclysmic. There's some things that I think that you shouldn't. There's certain areas that you can avoid being offensive in.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Quite easily. And language. Language is one of them. I'm not asking you to compromise on your views. I'm not asking you to change anything about the core tenant of who you are. I'm just saying the way that you express yourself could be done in a way which
Starting point is 00:37:16 loses you nothing but gains someone else a lot and also gains you a lot as well. Yeah, so I think the key thing is like you net a huge positive. It's using same things that are necessarily like it because all is, it's just lazy language, isn't it really? It's like a filler word. And if that's going to offend someone, it's easy to change. Swap it out.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Yeah. And if you want to stand a hard line on like first amendment then sweet, but it's a weird thing to take a stand on because it's an accidental homophobic comment where it actually like it doesn't reflect anyone's views at a lot of the time. And if it really does and you're a true homophobic, then all the power to you because you're being as authentic as possible. Yeah, you're living with living with virtue, but you're going to get lynched by some
Starting point is 00:38:00 guys. You guys are really still being used correctly. So like actually, yeah, you're right. If nothing else, what we're doing here is correcting the use of the word. Like, if there's some homosexual squirrels and you go, that's gay. Correct. Yeah. Correct. Docking. Picked it. Take to dick. Right, come on. What's next? We needed a gay man on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:38:24 I'm still searching for one. I was going to use my hairdresser to work out if you were a bummer or a bummy. Someone replied, didn't they? Surely in a message about it. I didn't. Someone saying, I'll come on the podcast. I think we maybe had a message. Someone gave me the answer.
Starting point is 00:38:40 I don't remember if it was you. Right, next. Scodley. Is it your turn? See you. Okay, so mine is digital is not always better. And I think this is because like, since we're all so far down the life hack rabbit hole, it's easy to think that like if we get the smart light bulb
Starting point is 00:38:58 and the smart lock and all this stuff, like maybe just me, like I was thinking, oh great, it's a new development. Now I saw a smart lock that was $100 to buy clearly millions of pounds of research right I thought it's like an American company like on one of those starter kick starter fun things millions of pounds of research into it and this guy who's just like a handyman did a video about it and he was like right so I'm gonna look at this lock it's got a fingerprint sensor here, it's got a really like special encrypted lock mechanism and whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:31 And he was like, right, let's just turn it over. And the back, you just with like a sleeve and a little sticky little bit of cello tape or something, you just twisted the back and it came off. And then there was a single screw, unscrewed it, the the battery was there pulled out the battery and the thing just unlocked And he's like and he's like right so yes, it's very secure from the front, but then you can get it off You can literally just twist it off. You like this wouldn't require any equipment apart from screwdriver and so Shirley for it to come off though It's no longer on the door in which case how is unlocking it?
Starting point is 00:40:05 I think it's like a padlock that you can... Oh, right. I think really not to get... The core value of what you're talking about here is that we always presume that Mewest is best and the reading guide that's available on FS.log, which is the Fanon Street blog I'm currently addicted to, thank you very much George McGill. that's available on FS.log, which is the Fan and Street blog I'm currently addicted to. Thank you very much, George McGill. On that, they talk about people never want to read books that are more than 10 years old.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Is that, well, the classics are classics for a reason. They've lasted hundreds of years. Like, if Markets or Edith's meditations have existed for thousands of years, why do you think people still read them? I'm reading that now, actually. Unbelievable. Yeah. Like, you know, and the same with fiction, people
Starting point is 00:40:46 think that the what's shinier and has the most click-bately title is always what's best. There's tried and tested solutions. That's not to say like, oh well, horses have been around for ages, therefore we don't need cars. I wonder where the part of us, the effort thing that like, you see now that people know how to tap into our, like, oh, top five tips to be productive. And you're like, oh, I'll read that rather than, like, sit and read some hard book because it's older and it's more difficult to penetrate.
Starting point is 00:41:17 But definitely for me, I didn't enjoy, I found it more difficult to relate, David Allen's getting things done to nowadays because he's talking about pages and File-a-facts and stuff. No, no, I need this optimized for ever note and I cloud Where is it on getting things that they have a membership website? In fact, you know what? I'm gonna wait I'll talk about them and okay, so Just on the digital's not always better thing. I got a couple of smart lightbulbs after one of my friends was
Starting point is 00:41:52 was raving about the Phillips Huey's. It's amazing, excellent. I drive into my house, my garage door opens, and then the lights come on in sequence, and my kettle comes on, and then like these, I get kicked out of my mattress and these trousers, I get put into the trousers, and then the toaster comes up in the jar. I'm a dark old grommet puts on the wrong trousers. Yeah, the wrong trousers.
Starting point is 00:42:11 And so I got a cheap version, but now. No, no, you've bypassed very, very quickly. There, the key issue, which is that got the cheap version. Yes. I did, but it wouldn't be any, the problem I'm going to describe would be no different with any of these more expensive ones. And that is that it renders you a light switch redundant because all the light switch does is activate the Wi-Fi. And so if you switch it off, you've turned off
Starting point is 00:42:37 the smart function. If you turn it on, you then have to go and find your phone from wherever it is in the house. Scroll to the app, open the app, wait for it to connect, turn off the light or turn on the light. So if anything, it makes turning on or off the light, so many more steps. I went into your room yesterday. Yep.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Click the light. Yeah, but you have to turn off then off and on again for it to work as a normal light. So... Jesus Christ. So like, and same with my microwave. I've got an analog microwave view, just twist the thing and it goes, Bing!
Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah. Absolutely great. So when I'm using the microbugs, put it in, just turn it a bit. Rather than having to faff around with like, defrost mode and put in the number of minutes, and it's like, if you want just the minimum number, so like the same padlock lights which.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I think this is why progress, especially technologically occurs in large jumps and the incremental changes that occur in between them, are really people just repackaging shit that already exist. So you hear about the Bluetooth softshaker. And I don't know what it needs, like what function they've done. But it's someone's been like, oh, Bluetooth is a thing.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Let's just put it in a softshaker and you're like, it's going to be five times the price, it's going to break. And you have to have a device to see. So, like the way that I feel about this smart bulb thing, and I've seen them in the Apple shop for, been around for a while, and I've always looked into what is that solving for people. Because ultimately you want a bulb to be on a rough day.
Starting point is 00:44:11 The thing that's given me the most value, and I get so excited when it happens every time. Because it's just a physical plug timer. The old school, you set the time, plug it in, and then when it gets dark, the lights just come on on the room, and it's like, that was like a two-pound thing that you just plug in your light into. So someone may disagree, I'm gonna, I can think of a number of viewers who will disagree, but for me, smart homes at the moment are just everybody wants to have some Elon Musk 2018 fucking like glass, infinitely glass everywhere, controlled like equilibrium, you see an equilibrium like that, that's what they want and you're like
Starting point is 00:44:55 no, it's not, like all that you're Alexa can do is fucking save things to your notes with misspelled words and like add shit to a shopping cart. Okay, Spotify or it's, it's, it's bollocks. Like the technology is so far behind what we need. One of the things that I know Philip's Hugh does, you can have in your room, you can have the lights hooked up to your TV and when stuff happens on your TV, it'll move the lights.
Starting point is 00:45:19 So let's say a car's coming in, I'll do it to blue car, it'll make blue go around the room. Okay, cool, that's that's kind of interesting cinematic. It's an epileptic wet dream, isn't it? It's just such a... Like, it's nice, it's not necessary. And I think the point is, smart home, is it's you're removing. It should make it easier.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Okay, we just try to... So, Darren, you know, you're cuddling up, you've got the nice synthetic blanket on. And you just want to have a peaceful... And you think the police are outside? Yeah, they like to flash with me Darren got a nest home thing for a thermostat, because I can't Well, you know apparently it learns they got the hub careful because you maybe I don't know what he got He got his supporters So you got a thing and he was like, yeah, so it learns when you're at home and it turns it up and turns it off and it's supposed to make it
Starting point is 00:46:03 He was like, but because I don't have a routine eyes life, I'm getting in and the house is fucking freezing from one. I'm getting back and it's not that. And it thinks it's learning. He's like, I've just turned it off. He's gotten to the stage now where he's using what my mom and dad use, which is the switch on the front of the boiler. Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:21 You know, the one that's inside the timer is going straight to the mainframe. Oh, yeah, he's bypassed everything So yeah, I think you like technology isn't always bad. That is a real a real nice days But yeah, like just a smart fucking selective. Yeah, like if you're buying us anything smart for your home I think you need Probably at least twice the scrutiny if not more just like have a problem that you want it to solve Yeah, just think like and the mistake that you want it to solve, don't just think like, and the mistake that I had with the lightbulbs,
Starting point is 00:46:47 there was no problem I was trying to solve. I just thought. It's just exciting. Occupy, Drezer. So an example is that it's a coffee machine. Like, that's not complex. You want a coffee in the morning. Solves a problem.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Or it makes something that I already do a little bit. The most direct root between that, which, not like, cause so, so the person who recommended, you said I've got all the surface bend Ben Ben's watching this is all your fault he he was getting excited because Nispresso have released a Wi-Fi coffee machine and I was like okay but what are you gonna do what are you gonna use that for is it so you could let's flick it on from one year away yeah but like so Benny had the same thing got Wi-Fi kettle and he's like well well, I just love to fill up the kettle. Yeah. It's precisely so like there's still,
Starting point is 00:47:27 and also like how fine tuned is everybody's life where like the minute that would you would take to go and press the kettle on. So here's, you can't give it up any more way. So I think for a lot of the people that are going to be watching who are potentially obsessive optimizers of which I guess we broadly fall into categories to one degree or another, you need to look
Starting point is 00:47:52 at am I avoiding the hard but important stuff to just tack something onto the side? If you're sitting in bed looking at you from 15 minutes before you get up on a morning, like, what the fuck is your wife I kettle doing? Exactly, exactly. That is, that is lame. Yeah. I feel like way about so many, it's like when someone's obsessing about saving money on a purchase,
Starting point is 00:48:18 and then they like spend a lot of the night out. Yeah, like, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are the pounds of interest on credit cards? Yeah, but they're like, they're like, you know, I don't buy lattes. I don't buy Starbucks coffee in this way, so money, it's like, you are looking at a tiny piece of a puzzle that is cracking and broken and like, so it's, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I think that as a whole massive topic, we probably should cover in an upcoming episode, because I've been thinking about it and awful lot recently, I've been reflecting on trying to do the basics just really, really well. And that's where you will list it because downstream from the basics, there's a lot more things that go right. If you don't use your phone in the morning before you do your entire morning routine, you laughing. The rest of your day will go so smoothly.
Starting point is 00:49:05 So I think there's a simplicity in any field you get to the point where it's like actually all you need to do is this simple thing really well, really consistently. We must be talking about this with productivity, how there's an article from Tim Ferris where he talks about if all you did was work uninterrupted for two to three hours in the morning on the most important thing for you to do that day. The thing that scares you the most would be like up in the top percentiles of the most productive people in the world. Totally right.
Starting point is 00:49:34 See, you don't need like, ever know and anything you need a list of things, look at it and go, what's the most important thing I'm going to do. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do just that for three hours. And it, but like, people don't do that because doing the most uncomfortable thing is often intimidating, difficult, we procrastinate on it, we don't want to do it. And there's that thing in everything like... Well, we believe that the object that we're going to purchase is going to be the answer to our questions. Yeah. It's the exact same reason as to why people believe
Starting point is 00:50:02 in fat-bearning tablets or why this next diet is going to be the next thing. You're like, no, you just really could do with doing some exercise. How often are you training a week? Oh, well, I got in to do a morning walk on Sunday. And you're like, okay, why the fuck you bothered about a fat burning tablet when you're not training? Like, yeah. And the same thing with, I fall prey to it all the time. Like the other day I was going to buy a new meditation cushion. I'm like, oh, that one. Okay, not the 120 quid one.
Starting point is 00:50:35 I haven't said. Bloody hell. I was going to get a new meditation cushion. I'm like, you don't need a new meditation cushion. It's not going to help you meditate. And the other one that we're referring to is like $130. What's the call? Can you remember what it's called? I can't remember, but it's like a it's a vegan friendly non-GMO paleo gluten-free really clever because they've got a really nice like sales page and it's just really legit at that point you sent the floor. Yeah. You're not
Starting point is 00:51:00 worried about what that's what I was like I can just sit on the floor I have a floor. Yeah. I don't need any floor wherever you go. There's always a floor. That's what I was like, I can just sit on the floor, I have a floor. Like I don't need any. You have a floor wherever you go. There's always a floor. There's always a fundamental impact of making any, unless you're a fish, if you're a fish, you can do that question. If you're a fish, you're still practically a floor. You might not be able to get down there.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Yeah, and just those punctualer, make your ears pop. There's those, I'm your... The things are the ball, the light ball, and the big teeth. Yeah. So, very interested if anyone's watching and they're thinking like, The things are the ball, the light ball and the big teeth. Yeah. So very interesting if anyone's watching and they're thinking like, you're just not using smart light system correctly.
Starting point is 00:51:31 If it's smart, it's smart. So I just looked up on the Philips Hue website because I thought, like I wonder whether Philips Hue would have thought about it, but it says your main light switch is a redundant Philips Hue. Really? So I think they're bringing out smart switches. Okay. I mean, yeah, I'd like to know if they're replacing the switches. Which, I mean, the irony goes beyond what I think they're bringing out smart switches. Okay. I mean, yeah, like I'd like to know if they're replacing switches. Which are in the irony goes beyond what I think we're
Starting point is 00:51:49 able to discuss really. Like when when it's like, let's make a smart like, oh fuck, let's make switches. We can put in the walls. Smart switches. There is, I think there is something where you can get paint that you just touch the wall and it turns the light on. Now that I think is fantastic. So you could turn the light on off anywhere, like a double tap. So that's really really solving a problem. The problem is getting up and turning the light on off. So I imagine the paint is three times as expensive. You still have to get three. Well, yeah, of course. And like the whole thing. But when you're actually there is...
Starting point is 00:52:22 The Philips Hue is trying to solve, which is that it's inconvenient sometimes. The difference there is that there's someone for whom that cost is going to be insignificant. And for them, that's okay. Whereas for no one, the inconvenience is acceptable of the light switch not working. Yeah, true. Johnny, you got one? Yes, I do. And it's sort of in the same vein. It's another book recommendation and it is Happy by Darren Brown
Starting point is 00:52:53 This is the one where he slates the secret by Ronda Bern is it? Slates a lot of shit. He slates a lot of it is what we speak about on this podcast and I listen to it on a plane what we speak about on this podcast. And I listened to it on a plane on a way to one of many weddings that I've been to. That's the reason Johnny hasn't been on the platform. I've just been stacking weddings. I just love a good wedding. So I've just been going and can you do wedding hacks?
Starting point is 00:53:15 Well, you probably, yeah. That's them, didn't you? So. Not on purpose. I was actually really grateful for the way that they were batched, but anyway. Yeah. So I remember I got on the planes five out of light
Starting point is 00:53:24 to Cyprus. The St. Adam Brown's book on two times speed. Got on the plane, like, still, you know, goal-focused productivity focus. Got off the plane thinking, I'm not sure there's any point. Honestly, can you give me some answers? So he speaks a lot about, he uses Boris concepts from a lot of people, borrowers of a lot of concepts from the stoicism, borrowers from concepts from like thinking fast and slow and predictably irrational, but basically that we are always just constructing a reality to try and create happiness.
Starting point is 00:54:00 But happiness is never something that will arrive at, And it's more about the experience and the process. So he rubbishes a lot of goal setting. And stuff that I remember starting going into it thinking, I feel like from the amount of reading I've done on this, I've got a pretty well-formed opinion. And I was like, you know what, he's right. Like, it's... He's just... He's brilliant. He's brilliant.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Because he's clearly... If anyone who follows Aaron Brown, he's clearly a very intelligent man who's taken the concept of happiness and thought, I'm going to really dig in. You've got a steam roller ratchets. And he's gone, he's dug up lots of concepts from lots of different places. And I think really it comes back to, so he talks about how you can be convinced to believe anything, which is the crux of all of his work. Yeah, so he's like, I've convinced people to believe that they've is the the the crisis. All of this work. Yes, he's like,
Starting point is 00:54:45 I've convinced people to believe that they've been zombie apocalypse. Exactly. So with that, you can also be convinced that you are aren't happy by a series of stories or thoughts you believe. And the goal setting or chasing something, you're convincing yourself during that process that you will be happy when it happens, but you never are. So I'll read the book, if you've got audible, that's why I was listening to it. It sounds like it sounds, obviously I haven't read it, but it sounds a lot to me like the argument to hedonic adaptation, which is this object is going to give me fulfillment. What we are doing with the goal setting is just replacing the object with the goal. However, the difference that I think there is that when you break goals down
Starting point is 00:55:31 in the target, that a daily target, you get a different sense of fulfillment from overcoming an obstacle. Definitely. You don't get a sense of fulfillment from saving £10 towards the car. sense of fulfillment from saving 10 pounds towards the car. But the steps are more granular feeling like you're moving, feeling like you're making progress and moving forward. Overcoming and having adversity and getting past it, I think is a core tenant of what makes human life quite. This is why the guy called Tim Urban who writes a blog called Weight But Why, which is also fantastic. He talks about happiness as being like nailing a Tuesday. And like, not, I think most people live their lives in a way of like, I will be happy in, I'll be happy on Friday and I'll be happy when I'm on holiday, I'll be happy when I've had a promotion, rather than like, today was mint.
Starting point is 00:56:24 And like tomorrow is going gonna be class as well I wasn't that was one of the names for this podcast before I did it was gonna be called crushing it's used there crushing it's used there or Do I have to go and get likes? If anyone wants to know the reason for that they can send us a message we can do a full podcast on why we need to go and get legs So I always do um, so yeah read down brown happy and check out wait but why have I Tim urban? I stick I'm to do a couple. We haven't done Dropbox. We haven't done Dropbox. So if you don't know what Dropbox is, it is a cloud-based file storage system. There's a number of ways that you can do that. Apple have got one built in. Amazon even have one to eye opened up a kindle fire. AWS. Is that what you mean? Is it?
Starting point is 00:57:09 I've been some web services. Is that what it is? Well, so AWS is like the hope, the beast of like I didn't realize it. It, let's not talk about it. It's too complicated. It's like the veins of the world. So most, most things that you interact with, that's a file, it's probably on AWS, Bloody Hell. Okay, so Jeff Bezos in the center of it all. Anyway, Dropbox is a cloud-based file hosting service, but the difference is that if you've got it on,
Starting point is 00:57:40 do they have a map? What do I mean? I'm just convinced. Yes. Dropbox and the other two were on one of the previous. Oh, right. It's not. If there's anyone who listens ardently to the live- I've gotten written down. You've got all the ones that we've got on. And show them. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Fine. Dropbox hasn't been in there. Was the, as soon as we move onto this screen, you self will have, I like onto a laptop, there'll be a very good reason why you stuff does it doesn't do anything. Yeah. And so, I mean, you've dropped off, like using a laptop.
Starting point is 00:58:14 We're in your domain, we're in your domain now. This is set into your, like this is one of the most optimized pieces of technology I've ever seen in my life. And like, I know you don't pay for drop box. That's unbasically, I don't have to pay for drop box. Yep, you, I, but you, you, if I use the code, I, I, I feel like I should probably sit
Starting point is 00:58:30 and learn how to do it because it would help optimize things a lot more. But you still get a lot out of like the user interface that Apple provide. I see. Yeah. You're, you're absolutely what? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:58:41 I'm just waiting. Go. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's what this was Chris's life though. Nothing, I'm just waiting. Good. This was Chris's life though. No, you're right. Just having a chat. About when he's fucking stopped putting the drugs. Well, yeah, so that's where it can be ran to.
Starting point is 00:58:56 But, you have a very good reason for that, which is because you have a system that's very... Most people don't have a system that is efficient as yours. I see. The reason that Dropbox is doing a webby, he's feeling a webinar on laptop. What's it after it? Just pure.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Just an after it, because I think the laptop optimizations are whole other webinars. That's volumes, that's terms of books, isn't it? That's a university curriculum. It's a degree. So, the reason you need Dropbox mostly is not because the fact that it's able to host files online, it's the integration and how seamless it is. So if you download the app for your Mac, you have, oh, I'm going to guess there's an equivalent
Starting point is 00:59:37 on Windows. If you're on Windows, get off. Yeah, but yeah, it's just it now. Get off the podcast. Yeah, just fuck off with it. Get off. You are, this is not for you. Dropbox for Mac makes all of your files in habit a native folder on Finder.
Starting point is 00:59:56 So you can browse them as if they're files on your computer, which they are, but then the app on your phone also does the same thing. So it's a much more natural way of browsing through your files. What are you grinning about? I was waiting, I'm hearing this. Yeah. It feels a lot like, if you've ever seen Involveable,
Starting point is 01:00:14 what's the thing before the spike? You know, like, there's nothing by the way. It's a layup, yes. So I've just done this and you're coming in. Running over. Yeah. So I was ready to pay, like 50 to 80 pounds a month for Dropbox. When they launched Dropbox Infinity, whether we're going to, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:33 And then they redacted it because it mustn't have fit with the, like, fire architecture of a drop box would bring out infinity. And if WhatsApp would bring out WhatsApp business for iOS, you make him the happiest man, And probably the poor wrist man. So it's to be just go for the to the infillity is the same as what Chris is describing, but it's everything. Yeah, you're entitled. So your laptop will be the.
Starting point is 01:00:53 It's the key things that you need. So for instance, all the audio files I have as soon as I bounce them down and I master them, I put them in one master master, put them in one folder, video guide Dean has got access to that and I don't even need to email them. Everything's put on there. If you want to sign up to Dropbox, there will be a link in the show notes below. You'll get 500 megabyte to extra space,
Starting point is 01:01:16 as well, I thank you very much because I need it. But you should download it and you should have a crack. Download the app for iOS is really slick. You can browse through things and you should have a crack. Download the app for iOS is really slick. You can browse through things and you don't have to save stuff, can preview files, preview, video, preview, sound. It's good for you. You should.
Starting point is 01:01:34 So I do pay for Dropbox. Do you pay for Dropbox, Chris? No, no. I get a terabyte of storage for eight pounds a month. Fuck it. And I think that's pretty bloody good. I think you're gonna sell Chris on that soon and then you're both bully me.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Yeah, you'll get it. But you don't need it. You probably have four instances a month where it's like if you had Dropbox, make it easier. And I'll be terrible with it. Like I'll be underutilizing it. Take RSC. But you would set up a little like an ecosystem in it.
Starting point is 01:02:04 So let me give you a really good example of how we use it for our business, right? So we have all of our artwork that all of the managers need and the best of the albums from each week that get updated. So I'll put the artwork in the guy that's doing, that's vetting the album from the night before, we'll save good photos in there as well. And all of the managers have got access to it on the phone, so when they need to do a social media post, all they do is just go in. And everything is as current as it needs to be. I've put the most recent artwork in, no one ever needs to ask or where's the flyer for
Starting point is 01:02:39 this week. No one ever needs to ask or I need a photo for this new Instagram post. So the guys that do social get fed from the back end, from the guys that are doing the post sales service and I get the artwork that comes in from the designer and yet it's pretty. Any collaboration with big files, we do all of our podcasts with Dropbox. It shits all over WeTransfer and stuff like that. It's a fox using, WeTransfer is just a big email. Yeah, it's a big email. It's good for a and stuff like that. It's a fox using, WeTransfer's just a big email. Yeah, it's a big email.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Like it's good for a one off of that. It feels like a 10 gigabyte file or something. Yeah, fine. Dropbox is also fast. Like faster than, like if you want to put a video somewhere that somewhere else can get it. Like it's the fact that at least for me is it's private. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Without the link, no one else can get it. Unbelievable. So I use BoxSync as well, And private. Yeah, I mean it without the link no one else can get it unbelievable So I use box sync as well, which gives you 50 gig free Yemen Yemen Yemen. It's the same a drop box But yeah, because you 50 gig free is it that service guys are stripping So there's something that so we were looking at installing a bot, like a support function on our website of the day. And this is the skill that you suppose is, like, I would just pay for the most expensive thing. Like, I just see, like, what does everyone else use?
Starting point is 01:03:58 Whatever else using, let's just pay for that. And you said, well, always find, like a cheaper equivalent. And it's probably something exactly that it's not. Do you remember when Ben Harrison was thinking about getting a pair of air pods and said, I'm thinking about getting a pair of air pods and you replied, try mine. And Johnny said, oh, if you bought a pair of air pods, I was, I was, I was really good at tears. And you went, and you were, and you were, I thought you brought air pods and you've not, and you've not told me. And you went, no, don't worry. I haven't. You bought some five pound Bluetooth ones that don't work, can't connect. No battery
Starting point is 01:04:35 life. See, this is all fabrication. They work, they connect. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called a bit. It's been called. And I have to carry a little dental floss container on with me as well. It's just like, so Chris and I get value, get increased value beyond the value of the thing from it being the thing. Because it looks like a tampon in here.
Starting point is 01:04:51 From it being the, someone commented on one of my videos saying, why does he have tab ends in his ears? It does look like an oral B toothbrush. And. So like I, I definitely get value from like knowing that I've got the apple version. Like, but I think you get more value from it being a deal, from it being good value. Possibly. I mean, also, I just didn't have 150 pounds to spend on it. Like, a head for an, I thought like, I've been a judge.
Starting point is 01:05:12 But if you did, if you did, if you did, I would. Yeah, I'm sure enough. Like, I mean, that's about as big of an accolade as you can give anything that we've been in. So, there's a lot of things that if I had the money, I would do. I think the principle that you store for it in saw operating there is, what does it do? Can I achieve the same thing for us? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:27 And you would get a lot more value from that. And I think that's your skill is finding that thing and most people don't shop around. If it's 10% cheaper, I'll just go for the upper one. But this was 15 pounds. And convenience and expediting whatever the process is, I think is where me and you come in, and that's our core
Starting point is 01:05:47 satisfaction that comes from this process being as effective and as efficient as possible, whereas yours is as discounted as possible. I'm definitely though, I'm basic bitch where it comes to like, so you'll have the best bank account, even stuff stuff like Alfred, is the result of you searching, in searching, in searching for a solution and finding something. I waste a lot of time searching. But you get the gems, don't you? I get the gems, and I hope that like,
Starting point is 01:06:13 collectively, we share the gems to you guys. Because it's like, yeah, yeah. Crowdsource your personal growth. Can we take, you've done one. You've just done drop box, I've just done one. Don't do a drop box, done the drop box. Can I piggyback off your focus matrix? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Because you've got the top one. Already had the top one. Already had the pro. You can know that you've... Johnny called me up, I was, I was going to suggest this app that, and Johnny called me up yesterday, I was like, I didn't realise but I actually have the premium version already, with the bundle for the other one, which syncs. So the bundle just comes with the pro.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Right. That'd be why I got it. So I really like Pomodoro up, which is cool. I've always got it. Be focus, pro. Be focus, pro, which is brilliant. And this, it's the same company. So they made a single. They made Pomodoro as well. We talked about that. I went through Pomodoro's at length with Dr. Ewan Lawson.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Yeah, man. He wrote his entire contribution to the book The Healthy Writer on Pomodoro's. He went back and looked at 120 Pomodoro's and was able to track exactly what he'd done on each of them. And he does the 2020 rule, which is every 20 minutes, although it's 25 on the Pomodoro. Every 25 minutes, he'd stand up, look, it's something that's 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reset your ocular nerve and your ocular muscles, because it helps you refocus on things which reduce his tension headaches and a whole bunch of others. So, you haven't listened to it, it's an absolute
Starting point is 01:07:40 about it. Dr. Ewan Dawson. I recommend the Pomodoro book to you, no? Yeah, I'm French, Cisco, so you're really, whatever you do. Illustrated guide. It's an absolute battle. Dr. Ewan Lawson. I recommend the Pomelo or a book to you. Yeah, my friend just goes to Rally or whatever. It was a straight-ed guide. Yeah, it's on my candle. So he recommends basically 25 minutes of work followed by five minutes of as close to sleep state as you can get. Yeah. So when I'm doing at home, I just do a mini meditation between...
Starting point is 01:07:57 That's... I don't know about that. ...trying to, like, absolutely turn off. Because the theory is the harder you rest, the more you can keep going with the focus work. It makes so much sense with that. That is bloody cool. I'm going to write down 2020 and 30. Because also, I think how much meditation you would accrue across a day. True. It's only five minutes and not a lot.
Starting point is 01:08:16 But if you're doing 10 Pomodoro's. Suddenly, you're 70. Who's doing 10 Pomodoro's? Me. Like 50 bonus minutes. Not in a streak But you do like four and then I'll get break and then four and then maybe two at the end of the day something like that Okay, that's an incredible tip. So there's two articles that I've read recently which are both people who used to be like worker holics So 40 50 hour work weeks and then just were like right. I'm just gonna do eight Pomodoro's a day and they got more work done through
Starting point is 01:08:43 I've it's just true prioritization. Partization. Yeah, they're really cool. But so you said, I recommended focused matrix to me, which is made by the same people, which is built on the eyes and how many tricks. So the idea of you have things that are urgent and things that are important and things that are neither and you have a quadrant that you can set up of things that intersect. So urgent and important prioritize do right away.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Urgent and not important. Delegate if you can. Oh really? Well, this is the ideal. You should hand over to someone, delegate it. Oh, sorry. Urgent and not important. Urgent and not important.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Don't. Important but not urgent. Schedule it out and make sure you do that stuff. Because that quadrant, even though it's not urgent, the important but not urgent, schedule it out and make sure you do that stuff because that quadrant, even though it's not urgent, the important but not urgent stuff is the thing which will grow you as a person, you never get around to doing it because you're too busy fighting fires, and then not important, not important, not important, not urgent, just dismiss, sack it off if you can. And you feel like a dick-freebing?
Starting point is 01:09:45 Why am I not doing this to you? How's this helping your productivity? I think it's so... It's just an app that just does that. So I didn't realize it has a capture feature built into it. So you said rocked my little world the other day and you told me it did. I was an inbox.
Starting point is 01:09:59 But just I think it allows you... or what I found from it, I just use it for two days, but immediately you, you're like, I have to put this item in one of these four, which is it, and you have to justify it yourselves. Like, why is it important? The reflection. The reflection, the first you reflect on the task of it. I think it gives a bit of a gap between just,
Starting point is 01:10:21 and like, the mindfulness. Should I actually be doing this? Because I think that's the most important question. It's exactly what both of us need as well. Yeah. Cause we were saying yesterday, like, I no longer procrastinate, but it's not. Which is a massive statement.
Starting point is 01:10:33 You said, the two times I've heard him say that, he just says it, but like, I no longer do any procrastination. That's like the time when he went and sat on a rock and eliminated envy from his life. How old were you? Sixteen. Nineteen. Was it jealousy or envy? Similarly, yeah, we'll have to go into it at the time.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Eliminated envy from your life sat in a rock. It was, I think it was, it was ready to go. It was just the, the last final two hours. And the use for it. Right. Anyway, sorry, you were saying. But you're on the procrastination. But you're on the procrastination.
Starting point is 01:11:03 Thinking that like, oh, that's the solution to all that problem. But like, I still, my output and everything is still lower than it should be because I can't prioritize. And so this app is been, or not it's not the app, it's just as Johnny said, taking the space to say, does this need to be done now? And actually just doing that one thing for a long time rather than switching between,
Starting point is 01:11:23 because the problem that Johnny and I have, and I'm sure you definitely have, is you wake up and you're just bombarded by requests and stuff to do in you. And so anything that comes up just jumps to the top of the list and you try and do that for a bit and stay off that fire. And as a result, there's so much time and focus lost in switching tasks. Yeah. Dr. Ewan Lawson on the podcast said multitasking is for Muppets. Yeah. That there's absolutely no evidence, no research to show that we can multitask. Can you put it deep work? Is the Bible for this stuff?
Starting point is 01:11:56 Like just sink your teeth into what is the most important thing to do? The most urgent and important thing to do. It's an incredible book. What a character. Yeah, it is. I think just remembering that it makes you feel like a dickhead. It's all this stuff for me. Like you can only ever do one thing right now. And so like if you feel overwhelmed, like great is a long list of stuff to do. There's something Birkan talks about in his book,
Starting point is 01:12:18 Martin Birkan's book where he's like, Oh, my well, it's not a thing. That's, it doesn't exist. Can you find it all, my anyway? I can't see any over, well, it's all in your mind. That's a story. You said best Martin Berk unimpression. He's from South Shields. So he's like some people say, I've got so much Washington in tomorrow. It's like, no, you don't. There is a large pile of washing. Like, it's a different thing. Yeah. And like someone saying, I'm so
Starting point is 01:12:42 busy. I'm so overwhelmed. But no, there's a list of stuff. There's a long list of stuff. Like you don't have to identify it with a list. You just do the same thing. It's the anxiety of saying, rate of output is lower than rate of incoming. That's going to happen. George McGill, who we'll be listening, is choosing in his pants at the moment with the Red Queen effect, which I sent to you guys yesterday. So in Alice Munderland, she's talking to the red queen and they're running away from something, I think, and the red queen turns to her and says, you see, now you have to run as fast as you can just to stay in the same place. And that is the absolute epitome of informational overload without any effective work being done. So if anyone's interested in like, I mean, VA's virtual assistance and stuff is very much
Starting point is 01:13:30 your domain, but like, if you feel like you're doing more than you can, looking at Ari Meisel's book called Less Doing. So he was a guy who's diagnosed with Crohn's disease. You recommend it to podcast today, didn't you? Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, Crohn's disease was only able to work in our day. He sent me his book.
Starting point is 01:13:47 Yeah, so like, just outsources life, didn't he? He's, and he's just very big on, it's simple stuff, but it's like, it's the kind of thing you read and you're like, ah, obviously, but why didn't I, and it's just right out, really clear process notes for things that you don't need to be doing.
Starting point is 01:14:03 It's building a manual of you. He calls it. So we actually, I actually wrote before I went on love island, I wrote a word document that was how to be Chris dot doc. Okay, there you go. You know, just like I don't need to, I didn't, I still don't need to be there. I could just give, I could just give it to anyone and just be like, that's what I do. That's my like, that's what I do. That's my week, that's what I do everything. Yeah, okay, the worst problem about you is that it's got a lot of the time, it's got to be you that does the thing.
Starting point is 01:14:36 I couldn't tell someone else what is that I say on the front order club and then get them to turn up. So the manager would go, who are you? I'm Chris for tonight. I suppose if you don't have to do everything else, if that's the one thing you have to do. Yeah, it's tough. So I'm going to do one because video guidein
Starting point is 01:14:56 is in the optimal position. I'm going to do one which I use on nights out, which is a specific kind of handshake when I really, really don't want anyone to come close to me. So if you can imagine you are a drunk customer on a night out you're gonna have to stand up. So if you can imagine you're a drunk customer you're gonna have to come around. Drunk customer on a night out okay and you're coming up to me and you're being hard so you're going to do it you go come on come on shake my hand are you coming you can go for the hook oh you're
Starting point is 01:15:30 going man yeah how you doing you're going to go on man yeah how you doing that okay that's very good right so as you see you shake hands I thought you were going to no you're so you're shaking then push me as you as you shake hands with I thought you were going to. No, so you're shaking them. As you shake hands with someone, it's opposed to allowing them to fold in towards you as they go for the hook. What you do is you keep your arm extended and push their arm into their own chest. So yeah, you push back like that.
Starting point is 01:15:56 And then all that they do is they end up with this kind of chicken wing thing that sticks out to the side, but you've got complete control of where they are because they're basically anchored from the middle of their chest into your hand. And for mitigating how close the drunkard gets to you, it's unbeatable. I'm also going to do, because I'm on the topic. I'm going to do the most effective way to move through a crowd of people in a nightclub. Blading,
Starting point is 01:16:23 blading. Is that being angular? Yeah, you want to be probably more forward than you are to the side. You don't want to be at 45 degrees. You want to be probably more at 30. And then you want to go with your non-dominant hand first. And if you have a drink you want, you drink to be held from the top of the glass. What are you doing with your arms? So, first hand is going either out like that.
Starting point is 01:16:48 You can either have a hand out if you really need to side through a crowd of people or you're usually okay with shoulder. The problem with that, you don't want to be like groping someone and then you get... Usually okay, like to go like that, but you know, if you go side on with non-dominant hand first and then drink is held from the top because that's the most effective way to not spill, because if someone knocks into you, your hand naturally allows the weight of the water, the liquid that's in there to slosh around, but it doesn't come out.
Starting point is 01:17:16 So if you're holding it like that, it's the exact opposite. So blading non-dominant hand and non-dominant arm first, and you want to be moving as quickly as possible through it, if you move with purpose, people get out your fucking way. Like that's advice from someone who spends his evenings moving through crowds of people. That's the those are two very optimal strategies. It's a very well informed tip having done that hundreds of times. I had a friend at school who always looked, like he was much taller than everyone else, like always looked older.
Starting point is 01:17:49 He used to dress pretty smart, so he would come on nights out and he was wearing like sort of like chinos and a shirt or something like that. So he always, you look at him and you think like, could be, he's an official. Could be a fairly, fairly important. He used to go up to groups of people and go, I'm really sorry, I'm the
Starting point is 01:18:05 manager here, there's bits of glass in the drinks so I'm going to have to take everyone's drink often. And I used to just take everyone's drinks and walk over to our table and put them down. There's your drinks. And no one will never send anything to. You tell people to go in like sit different places and stuff. Yeah, you do anything with it, I'm convinced. And so we've got an upcoming video that we'll do might be a podcast, might be a Mahmungi video, it might be a combination of the two, which is going to be how to beat
Starting point is 01:18:30 nightclubs. And this is going to be so good because it's all of the things that I would have fallen for back in the days of Club Promoter, but basically how to get into any club for free, how to get into VIP, the booking procedure of what you need to do and say in advance what you should say on the door. The number of times in Vegas, the number of times I managed to get onto Chris Brown's table by just being commanding. And saying, so one of the guys said, me, like essentially sorry, pal, you can't come in here. So sorry, I'm at work straight through immediately.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Like what you said, sorry I might work. Sorry I might work. Like with a kind of a little bit of, do you not know who I am? Yeah, that's ridiculous. My experience of being in a queue at Vegas was Paul Whitehouses Paul. Yeah, so Chris Rums Paul.
Starting point is 01:19:18 Um, standing, we saw the size of the queue, we're like, I'm a bollocks waiting in that. We'll go speak to that bouncer massive massive man Paul was like is there any way to skip the queue in the guy went It's Vegas you can do whatever you want. He was like how much is it? He was like how much do you think it is Paul went is it 200 pounds because if it's 200 pounds that's bullshit I'm not paying Why did he start? I don't know. He was like, I'm gonna compensate you for himself. Paul, do you want to take yourself off to the corner mate?
Starting point is 01:19:51 Once you've had an argument. You must be g-sellor with that. Let me know who wins and then if you... But yeah. Sorry, I remember being amazed at how they're like, I don't know, I'll be using the wrong terms. They're like, the organizer. terms. They're like the organizer. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:06 They're like the guy who's like promoting the event. Yeah. The promoter. The promoter is just going along the line of people. And people are just handing him what's a cash. And I watched him take the water cash out, count it, give it back to him, and then give him another one. I'm like, all right.
Starting point is 01:20:20 Like, you must be just that, and you've already covered your whatever, whatever costs you have, that's your income. I was like, I need to move to Vegas. People's, people's desire, or people's preparedness to spend money, Darren once sold two huge up tickets to people who'd already bought tickets.
Starting point is 01:20:40 So they paid for tickets to a new year's Eve party. This is years ago at Riverside. And they didn't want to wait in the queue. Remember in the queue's moving like quick. If you don't have to take money off someone outside of a nightclub and they're just, boom, just that in the name. Like you literally just get your tickets out, scan it, stamp.
Starting point is 01:20:57 You don't usually don't need to get your idea either because your idea's been verified through the purchase. And two guys from London didn't want to wait in the queue and paid down £50 each on top of £10 each ticket entry. So £120 for two entries. I suppose there's this feeling I'm going to lie out, I was not that people get sucked into this idea that I need to spend money to show off, which is why I like, you know, that when someone buys a bottle, great for people like him. Yeah, fantastic. But like it's. Like, you have people coming out with the shows. I mean, we can't buy that on a Friday at Candy Pants, right? Like, that's the whole point. You can
Starting point is 01:21:30 spend 65 pounds or 100 pounds on a mid-level or high-level bottle of vodka and have the entire room's music change. And a bunch of pretty girls put on fluffy animal heads and carry boards out that they've got your name up. It's just pure peacocking. And like, more people- How long have you done spend 60 quid? I tell you what that's like- Anyone in the room can do that, can't they?
Starting point is 01:21:53 Yeah, so- They can, but- What's really cool is when you sit a quid. What's really interesting in a nightclub is when you see two competing groups of males that have got a high amount of disposable cash and they just start outspending. Oh, yeah. And that's when you see the club because we don't take the money, right?
Starting point is 01:22:11 Like it's fun for us to watch, but I'm like, none of, like, those 10 bottles of Ace of Spades at three grand. That three grand, none of that's going in my pocket. But you see it, apparently, I've heard some stories of Marbsoh. This has gone through the roof and you've got two competing big groups of guys, and one will get five grand show, seven grand show, ten grand show, and it's like a game of chicken. I've like, all right, okay, yeah, you think you've got that much money? No, no, like bigger, bigger, bigger. What's the largest bottle of vodka that you've got? What's the biggest bottle of champagne, what's the most expensive show?
Starting point is 01:22:45 And you just have these two sort of take measures. Interesting, because they don't go initially for the top one. So I can say. So yeah, which is ridiculous. Like it's, it's like, oh, well, okay, I need to go a bit more. As opposed to just like, hundreds of round. Have a nice time. Where do you spend some?
Starting point is 01:23:01 Spence five. 100. Now what? Yeah. Well, if he does 105? Millie. That's been... Millie. That's supposed to be something that they just can't cater for.
Starting point is 01:23:11 It's like, I want to spend 500 grand. So I'm sorry, we don't have time. We don't have anything for you. Like a pop from just the skin and the volume. He opens one, see, like, I'm going to stock one bottle of really good stuff just in case. So here's the thing with that. So it's up to you getting a bidding. Oh, I should have talked about this. good stuff just in case he's the thing with that. So top top, top top, top top,
Starting point is 01:23:25 top top palace had a, like a five litre bottle of Ace of Spades, I think, which is, I wanna say 20 grand. Jesus. But the problem is, you've got 20 grand of your business tied up in one fucking bottle. Like that's 20 grand of money tied up in that, just in case some big dick comes to
Starting point is 01:23:45 I mean like you sell it just to pay the price. You think oh well the liquidity then liquidity this month's a little bit tight and you're eyeing up this fucking 20 grand liability is it's just sat there. Because you can't even like sell it in a rush either. You can't be like oh so it will sell it for 18 or so. It's the problem of selling it at all isn't it? Like it went to the end. Yeah it went to me and someone did it. To what 50 cents or so. So you're probably selling it at all, isn't it? It went to the really, it went to me and someone did it. What, 50 cents or something? No, I don't think
Starting point is 01:24:08 he paid for any of his drinks when he was there. Can you believe the 50 cents beat the top top power? And didn't pay for his drinks? I should be a rapper, I think I'll get three drinks. I don't even drink. I think if you were really consistent, serious enough about it, you could get to the point of being a rapper. It would all be facetious, obviously. If you could just alpha-de-away to being a rapper,
Starting point is 01:24:36 if you like, right, okay, this is single-mind goal, do an impact map, so have another note. Just go all the way to rapper. Get coaching. I'll sort of get coaching. I'll sort of see lyric writing. Find a course on O'send. Find a course to get a haircut and all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:24:53 But you still have to be putting out daily videos, wouldn't you? I have to get a video about Dean. Are you rapping? Yeah, well I have to get Dean to help. Scooby on the mic. Scooby on the mic. I'm gonna throw another one in here because we're talking about nights out
Starting point is 01:25:07 and this one kind of jumps in with the right amount. So, when you're on a night out and you're drunk, but you can't work out how drunk you are. It's very difficult. Like you think, oh, how much have I had to drink? Like, I feel quite wrecked, but reflectively in that moment, it's actually quite hard. So, the bestively in that moment, it's actually quite hard.
Starting point is 01:25:25 So the best approach for that is try and work out if you can remember things that have happened recently in the night. Then eventually you get really good at improving your memory while you're drunk. No. No. That's not what happened. Not in my experience of my mechanism. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:44 That's not what happens in my experience. If you try and remember what happened, what's recently happened when you're drunk and you can't remember it, what that means is you're probably not going to be able to remember what's happening right now. And if you know that that level of memory loss equates to too much alcohols, and it's too much. And you're not having a good time. If you can't remember it then. What's the point?
Starting point is 01:26:01 Yeah. Go pro. There you go. So the philosophical point, that if you can't remember having a good time, was it still a good time? So Darren Brown talks about that. Remembered self and experience after reading the book. I always go to the toilet. You want to go to the toilet? I always go to the toilet when I'm thinking like how much I have to drink. Because if you go to the toilet, that's quiet. There's been you trying to avoid. Standing in a pool of weed. There's a moment of like, okay. That's a good point because that's like base camp.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Yeah, like I've weeded before. We've planned it before. So I know how this should feel. By myself, there's no loud music. Like there's someone trying to out from the aftershave and stuff like that. Not too much stimulus. But like it's a fairly quiet time.
Starting point is 01:26:42 I'm like, that's just, you're in a petri dish aren't you? Just do, really. Let's see what the culture has. I's a fairly quiet time. I'm like, that's just you're in a petri dish, aren't you? Just to really see what they could let's see what the culture has. I hate my club toilets. The you're standing in the lexie an inch layer of we is the guy pressuring you to buy stuff and he's like, you're like, look, I I'm not lovely. If I don't want to watch my hands, that's my decision. Well, like what she has and they hand you a towel and you're like, no, no, I'll get my own towel.
Starting point is 01:27:06 Because we've still never been on a proper night out. Proper, like you. Yeah, I think we said you two years ago we were gonna do it. I did. We've done a few, but we haven't gone like. There was a time we went to that. It's the only time I've ever been to that club though.
Starting point is 01:27:21 Jolue. Jolue, and you drank the really strong rain effus 80% over the river. Oh, honey. And then you had whiskey and honey with... So Chris was like, do you want a drink? He said, oh, I'll just have a water and he was like, right, pick a drink or I'm picking you one. And I was like, no, no, really. And then he turned around with a double shot of this 80% rum.
Starting point is 01:27:38 And then a double Jack Daniels and Coke afterwards. And you drink the rum and it just hits you. And you're like, oh, no, I've got a cycle back now I've got the cue, I mean when you go in I was like, you're gonna have to take the lead I do not know It was, you sit with it That's what I remember really clearly about that I've seen people drink that and be immediately sick and you just went
Starting point is 01:28:02 Yeah, yeah, it's quite strong Oh wait, yeah, yeah, it's quite strong Yeah, yeah, it's quite strong. We've just ruined our palettes with years of horrible supplements and my hydro life casing so my life hack is So here are the keyboard shortcuts for YouTube if you're watching this on nice Honestly, so return to the start zero Skip through 10 20 30% 1 2 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. So the number keys, double speed or half speed is shift and the greater than or less than symbol. And you can keep tapping them to go all the way up to two times speed or all the way down to 0.25 speed.
Starting point is 01:28:39 K is pause, J is back space is also pause, space is also pause, space sometimes jumps down, yeah. K is more reliable at least. J moves back 10 seconds, L moves forward 10 seconds, and with those you're just a keyboard wizard. The reason I'm so obsessed with keyboard shortcuts is that they minimize being a pack of our bell and having to like move the mouse. Dude, what I do basically. Well, so it's why we were talking about like the trackpad speed and just moving it up to the max and just if you've not done that you may have missed like, tracks 101 like immediately now go to the top corner of you MacBook because you're using a MacBook because you are a sane human and press on
Starting point is 01:29:23 the Apple system preferences trackpad system preferences, trackpad, and move your trackpad speed up at least. All the way to the max. No, you will overshoot. It's diminishing return, not sorry, diminishing return. It's a very, very short period of not being able to click on anything. So, yeah, so experience the trial by fire, go to the max, deal with a day of discomfort,
Starting point is 01:29:42 and then suddenly realize that everyone is... When you were climatized. When you go back to using someone else's laptop, it feels pedestrian. You're like, it's ridiculous, yeah, you haven't to like, it shouldn't take more than one to get to where you want to. Corner to corner, make a path, the track path. I think if it's if it's someone's going, then you track paths, or what is going on. But so I recently, in fact, two days ago, went through and set loads of Alfred snippets and set up a lot of Alfred. Very exciting. I had a moment where I was like, you know what I was doing. Yeah. He's right. I can't remember what I was doing, but I was typing something I was like,
Starting point is 01:30:15 that's the fourth time I've written that today. Well, like trying to find a link in your life. Yeah. Yeah. It's... So you know what it was was was trying to find a login for a client's piece of software Mm-hmm, and I I know that I saw I saved it to have a note and then I was like Why I saved it to have a note so I can go back to have a note again. Yeah to copy it again to so I was like I mean once you've even even once you've copied it once if it's a short period of time you don't need to make it It's in the click or manage it or yeah, it's in the last 200 things that you've copied. Which it almost certainly is. I want infinity copy. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:30:49 I want infinity copy. I think that's going to back up a little. Yeah. It's fine. Carb based the infinity. Pull it, pull it. Do you need infinity? Or could you just go a thousand?
Starting point is 01:30:59 Yeah, I'll tell you. Okay. Well, infinity copy would just be snippets, wouldn't it? No. Almost. Like, if you know what you're searching for, which you'd have to do, infinity copy would just be snippets, wouldn't it? No. Almost. Like, if you know what you're searching for, which you'd have to do for infinity copy, good point. They just set up a...
Starting point is 01:31:10 You do mean infinite... Good word. ...pre-bord entries. There's not a thing called a vinci copy. Okay. Um, like you... Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, my God, Anita.
Starting point is 01:31:20 Right, I'm gonna do another one because... Oh, it's you. I'm keep. Sorry. Um, I don't think another one because... Oh, it's Johnny. I'm keep. Sorry. I don't think we've done much on sleeping. Can we do one on your top now, please? Video guiding, could you just move in on Johnny's hair? Please, if that's okay.
Starting point is 01:31:36 I don't like it. A little bit closer. I don't want to see. Thank you. Yeah, just the right ones. It looks great. Look at the camera, please, Johnny, for me. There you go. I think you look fantastic. The at the camera please, John, there you go.
Starting point is 01:31:45 I think you look fantastic. The problem is you haven't got rid of the sides. That's not my fault. It's a key commitment in the process. I have no involvement in it at all. My head, my head, Vesta has, so this was something we were learning today about outsourcing. When you outsourcing, there's someone who's an expert.
Starting point is 01:32:04 Don't interfere with their process. Yeah, fine. Like telling these dealers you men, like, do you know what you say? Fuck off, yeah, exactly. You know what it is. So what you say is they decide effect. They decide outcome and then get out the way.
Starting point is 01:32:16 Fuck the fuck off. So I said, I want to top notch, which was like, don't worry. Leave it, leave it. You gave me a grace period, which I'm now way out of. Oh, there was a 40 day, there was a 40 day cooling off here In which under consumer law you could have stopped the process. Yeah, I'm now yeah, very golden
Starting point is 01:32:33 I'm interested in that you say we haven't done much stuff on sleep because the podcast which is coming out in two days Time which will probably be about three weeks ago when this gets broadcast is with Dr. Greg Potter from the University of Leeds, PhD in sleep and chronic nutrition. He is one of the UK's leading sleep researchers and we did two hours on sleep optimising sleep. It's like the supplementary information to Matthew Walker's book, obviously. So my tip is not necessarily because I think where there's lots of people now with tips on like Set your fixed wake up time make sure you rooms dark or that's what shit and like lime in an ideal world Yeah, like you your sleep's just this seamless integration algorithmic existence, but most people it's not it's a bit of a mess But there are so many people
Starting point is 01:33:22 That I know who complain of like, you wake up and you're like, have a moment, you get out of bed, like a sore back sore neck, I've slapped on my shoulder funny, like, arm, my arms numb, and then... I'm gonna piggyback off yours in a second. I've been out to piggyback off yours. And you've opened up, actually fucking Pandora's
Starting point is 01:33:41 bottom optimization. And then those people get out of bed and then they go and try and squat or lift weights. And you're like, is this dab? What is dab to this? Well, dab is pretty good actually. Is it? It was actually Gemma who I was speaking to,
Starting point is 01:33:53 like she showed me the way that she lay in bed and she was sleeping. I was like, do you not wake up and feel nafficked? I was like on the front like that. It was like a free-fall skydiver. Oh yeah. So there were three videos that Well, it's kind of as a wish free for
Starting point is 01:34:10 Isn't he she it face jumper there then Three videos by Kelly stirrup and what that yeah, they talk about Running up a towel and sliding it in the pillowcase. So you have pillow, towel roll, towel roll sits here, supports your neck and then the pillow supports your head. So that basically if you imagine that, you'll like that in bed. So complete alignment. Midline shoulder is back, not down. Like most people sleep and you wake up and you're like, ah, my neck doesn't hurt anymore. So I started doing that since you recommended it. Without the towel, I didn't know about the towel.
Starting point is 01:34:51 The towel's key, is it? Because I've got an IKEA pillow that has a head-on. It's interesting. But it's lovely, right? I think what's key to do with sleeping posture. We didn't cover sleeping posture in the much in the podcast with Greg. What you do instead of, if you can imagine that I'm laid on the bed, I think that I'm right, tell me if I'm wrong here. You instead of having the pillow like this, you sweep
Starting point is 01:35:14 the pillow down so it's like that and then you turn over. So ideally you want two pillows like that. Watch this, watch the video. So what? Kelly, Kelly talked about it. Are you ready for me to level this up? Video guiding before you leave, we will get footage of this. In my bed, now I have a pregnancy pillow. Have you seen these? They're ones that you're hooked. Have you seen it? It's a big U. It's a huge, huge shirt. Okay, I have seen them. So all that one, all that that is is something for you to hook in between your legs on either side something feet to hook under your arm on either side and then you just take the arm out and roll and go under and it's always between your legs. So I am
Starting point is 01:35:54 the most single man In the world. I have a king-sized bed and there's no spare room in it So you know what? Like, okay, we really have opened up the full box here. Fucking hell. So Becca, my girlfriend, was having a conversation with some people who hear work about what size beds people sleep in.
Starting point is 01:36:15 Yeah. Because someone had said to her that a double bed is sufficient for a couple, which is absolute horses. Like, totally agree. I'm not a large man and I still was a little busy. Well, because you don't know one like, get some members that and requires no extra room. Like you move around and you need enough room to have
Starting point is 01:36:33 like your own space in a bed. When does the last week on a single bed? Oh, the tiny door. It's a lot of fall off. What's the statistic about what two single beds put together on? It's a super king, I believe. So a super, it's on my bed, which I paid £600 for the mattress, just the mattress for from Eve, which is a king. It's still not as big as a single bed.
Starting point is 01:37:00 It might, maybe a king is two singles, I don't know. Right, okay. But in that region, so what you're saying is that a single bed gives one person more room that a king bed gives to. So obviously you can cut into each other's space and overlap more effectively. But the effective point that you're saying is, if you're anything under, what's one down from a king like Queen? It's basically like in the Goulac. So yeah, and then above a super king. The king like.. It's basically like the Goulac. And then above a super king, which is so annoying,
Starting point is 01:37:27 I have a super king that Eve mattress do a seven foot by seven foot bed. That's a thing. That's a thing. That's sleeping in a cloud, isn't it? That means that you could do a forward roll, and you still be a bit full off the bed. But one of the problems there is just... So the head thing. The head thing, and then... So there's basically three videos that Kelly talks about sleeping. So the head thing. The head thing and then, um, so there's, there's basically three videos that Kelly talks about sleeping. So one is assessing the firm as to be mattress. So one of the tests is lying you back and what most people do is they default into extension. And so they bend one leg. So if you lie on your mattress and immediately bend one leg, you'll probably
Starting point is 01:38:02 wake up with a sore back in the morning. Is a pretty good test. So you want leg, you'll probably wake up with a sore lower back in the morning. It's a pretty good test. So you want you want to be able to almost sit in a dish. This is all according to him. Yeah. The other one is either having, so if you can't get out of that position, you can't buy any mattress pillow under your hamstrings or like you were saying, if you're lying inside, I'd pull up between your legs. And then the other one is that way. Should we, because we've got onto being an extension in bed? Should we discuss what we were talking about just before the podcast began, Skull? We're referring to, I'll let you take it away. Okay, well just before we do. So this was the piggyback on Johnny's sleeping one. So as unpopular as it's been with my girlfriend, I've started sleeping on the floor
Starting point is 01:38:48 Recently because she slept on the floor yet. Yeah, once. Oh, so you're broken it? Broken it. Oh, it's threatened to break up with you. Yeah, I'm genuinely really upset about it I know you want to do this but for God's sake, you can't lose your relationship. Yeah, I didn't realize it was that much of an issue, but it really was. Yeah, so I've got a thin mattress topper, which was basically the reason behind that is to protect the joints from the direct impact with the floor. But the idea is that when you sleep on a very soft mattress,
Starting point is 01:39:19 you sink in and there's no impetus to relax. And so it's very easy to no impetus to relax. And so it's very easy to maintain that tension when you're sleeping. Which it sounds quite converse, right? That something soft doesn't help you in relaxing. It does sound converse. And then so I suppose the example is you need to think of like when you, if someone gives you a massage,
Starting point is 01:39:38 or you get a dentist, like a dentist has to drill your tooth with something harder than your tooth. Or, so what you do, phone rolling, I suppose. Phone rolling, yeah. like, a dentist has to drill your tooth with something harder than your tooth. Or so what you do, Phomerolling, Phomerolling, yeah, using something harder than the thing you're trying to loosen. And so when you're lying on the floor, you have to release that tension so that your body can shape to the floor.
Starting point is 01:39:58 And so the idea is you do that, and it's more in line with how tribal populations sleep and they have a much lower incidence of musculoskeletal injury and postural problems. Now, yeah, of course, we do so many other bad movement habits that also probably contribute to that, but we sleep for... and this was Johnny's thing to me, he was like, you need to spend like, you spend the third of your life sleeping, so it makes sense to spend the most money on your bed, followed by the things that you can't have on you and the station. Yeah. So, I'm doing it for months, so far, five, six weeks. I wake up before my alarm every day now. I get out of bed, not feeling stiff. And the only downside is like you've got a long way to get up.
Starting point is 01:40:44 Like you, you, as soon as you wake up, you're like, you can't just make it like, you've got to do a burpee. Yeah you've got to do burpee, you can't have to do you get extra. Yeah, hands and knees and then start from there. I do double back flip, I'm done. Right, but it's, and you don't step, you lose a point there. Yeah, sometimes I do a single effort, if it's like a rough day or whatever, but like, yeah, I don't know how I physically get up, but... I think I would roll over the hands in these and stand up. I think that's also the way that I would do it. I'd want to stand up on the mattress top where I wouldn't want to go on a bare floor. Yeah, that's savage. I'm not, I'm not
Starting point is 01:41:16 fucking... Yeah, I don't buy bearings here. But... So you're liking it though? Like it in so far, I'm gonna try video on it and like cover the full. And you also gain ten kilos of muscle, lots of five kilos of fat. Yeah, it's all probably. So, can we talk about the extension in bed? We'll finish on this. What was the, um, it's a girl. But what, what, what was the context for it? It was just, it's a, it's bad form.
Starting point is 01:41:41 I was cracking Johnny's back. Yep. Johnny said I look like someone who's you look like a female who's got poor mobility and is enjoying being penetrated from behind. In a dog having a poo. Or a dog having a poo. Yeah. Those are the two things you have to do. And I mean when as a woman in a particular sexual position you can be equated to a dog having a poo. There should be some alarm bells going.
Starting point is 01:42:08 But so that's, it's inefficient because you're, you're, when you can, can you, can you example for the people that are watching for me please? I, not on YouTube, I can't, I can't, yes you can. There's a, there's a certain, there's a, a little limit. I think we're hitting the lower
Starting point is 01:42:26 limit, but going into, going into flexion, so lumber flexion and tucking the belly under. So you arched back on all fours, females on all fours, how would you like to say it? Arched back. We're going to tuck the tail. Tuck the tail underneath. It's a great yoga position, but you're moving your vagina away from whoever's trying to get in. So animals will all go into extension. It's like it's the natural thing, but I think we've always written that as humans.
Starting point is 01:42:59 And so, I mean, and the solution, obviously, it is poor mobility. And so one of the solutions people do is they put a pillow underneath if a woman is lying on her back. But it is, you know, from a guy's perspective as well, women presumably won't know this. You don't see sex from a guy's perspective. But to see a girl in flexion on all fours is one of the least attractive sites. No one to man.
Starting point is 01:43:26 We just think like, he needs a runward. You do? You need to spend a little bit more time in puppy dog because if you're supposed to. Don't you all. No, I'm stuck. Chin, chin up and through. So extension, extension girls when you're on all fours. The reason I didn't do it is because I know that Dean's going to make it the thumbnail of
Starting point is 01:43:45 the video. I mean, just on the couch in between. In full, 4K, slow mo, 3D, Oculus. Yeah, I was like, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Leaving the world about a place. That would just be a real better place. That would be leaving this podcast better than when you found this.
Starting point is 01:44:04 And the way Johnny uses Alfred so efficiently in this one single domain, which is he's got a bank of pictures of me in ridiculous situations that will just get fired out. Fine. Well, that could have been added to the library, so you protected yourself there. Thank you very much for watching. I've been silent on any one of you. Awesome. Good watch. We could do an only fans, the other only fans. So only fans is, it's like legal soft cop on for girls that need money for Instagram. So you know the girls that like upload photos that are like really, really suggestive, you can get the uncensored ones on only fans. Well, you get a monthly subscription. Yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 01:44:45 And you can pay to chat with them as well and stuff like that. Okay. So, step away from Cam Girl, right? Yeah, one step down from fucking yourself on camera essentially. But one bonus tip just before we go through it. Throw it in. So I bought a blender recently. They're making a lot of smoothies.
Starting point is 01:45:02 Parma violets in any smoothie is incredible. When you say parma violets, describe exactly what they look like to you. They look like big purple tablets. Right, so it's exactly what I thought it was. It takes it like flour. Yeah. So they look like erythrocytes,
Starting point is 01:45:17 like just like a big purple red blood cell. Like they don't know thing. And medicine is slowly seeping into your life. And you've been able to operate without it happening, aren't you? So palm of violence, freshman and pineapple, best drink I've ever had. So what's the background on the ice cream? Just 100, 100, 100. The ice cream you gave us the other evening.
Starting point is 01:45:42 Like, I'm Roman lever of pick that. Like, really? they just continued it And I was so upset. You were since we were lemon lemon Roman mint lime Roman mint. Yeah, yeah, I was blown away really really nice A little bit of like raisin lime It's the last time many of us are ever gonna have it But wait for it to go. Yeah, true. I mean Well, it's not gonna just the internet forever. Yeah what way for it to go? Yeah, true. I mean, well, it's not going to exist in the internet forever.
Starting point is 01:46:06 Yeah, it is. And Tesco, if you're watching sorted out, bring it back for God's sake. Right, thank you very much for listening. I have got more life hacks on my screen than ones I've gone through today. So one or six, we'll probably try and get done soon. Life fails needs to be done.

I saw something about that today, chalk talk. Why? Why? Not really too sure. They're going to basically have the kind of like two opens. It looks like to kind of spread the net a little wider and I don't really understand if I'm honest, but there's a lot of... What's you go open then like a leo? Second door, but yeah, so it's online qualifier again, basically, so it allows more people
