Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, how do friends in podcast land? How are you? My guest today are Johnny and you, Seth, from propanefitness.com and it's another catcher episode. No agenda, no purpose, just finding out what life is like as a human for us over the last few months. I've lost Nikhilis, Bill Ackman, made the greatest trade in history. We talk about some of the stuff we've been watching on Netflix, Johnny's dog joins us, we talk about cinnamon, quite a bit. It's always fun to have the boys around to do these
Starting point is 00:00:31 ones. I really do enjoy them. What else has been going on? Well, yesterday I will have had my surgery. I usually record these intros as close to the published date as I can, but given that I'll have been under the knife only 24 hours before this one goes out, I'm recording it a little bit earlier in the week. So yes, I will currently be off my face on morphine, which actually I'm quite looking forward to. I feel like a war veteran from World War I,
Starting point is 00:01:01 you know, like give me the morphine. So that's me, that's me more fying off my face. The publishing schedule is going to continue. We're going to get three episodes out this week. I'm going to drop to two week next week and probably the week after just that I can do all of the intros just in case there's some complications with my Achilles operation. But hopefully normal service shouldn't really be too interrupted. If this was just a hobby, then I might not care so much, but as Stephen Pressfield says, when you turn pro, you get the work done. So I'm continuing to get the work done. And there's some unreal episodes coming up over the next few weeks, including,
Starting point is 00:01:42 I have just confirmed Seth Golden, Ryan Holiday, and Stephen Pressfield, the guy who wrote Turning Pro and The War of Art. So look forward to those. But for now, let's catch up about cinnamon with Johnny and Yusuf from propanefitfitness.com Do you have a say ladies and gentlemen boys and girls? No because this is an adult show for adult people but we're also joined by explicit rate. Yeah, of course it is. That's the number one reason not having the explicit rating correct is the number one reason shows get taken down off the Apple podcast store. Wow. Just accidentally slipping a seabarm or something and then yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:02:48 This is made for children. Johnny's brought his dog. Johnny, can we see your dog? Can we see Dexter? Look at you. All black features. Yeah, he can't see his face until he's looking to the side and then you're like, all right, that's a dog.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah, here he is. You're right. It is cinnamon. You're right. It is cinnamon. It is cinnamon. I was off around David. Yeah, okay. I'm sans one of killies since the last time you spoke.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, yeah. She's a big event. It was impressive, yeah. I made a meal of it, I think you would say it's impressive how you felt the time I imagine not. No, you were like lying on a ground going. Fair enough. I was in full cricket, in full. In full mass.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yeah, factor. So I might as well. By way of scaling what happened, the what happened question. I can just say it once and then link people to this podcast. So I decided to start playing cricket again after 12 years of absence. Went and netted at a local team, got picked, played last weekend, went into bat and was playing pretty well. 20, not out, a couple of boundaries. Only one chance that I gave away, pretty difficult, it was all right. Set off for a run, pushed off with my right foot,
Starting point is 00:04:10 and just felt like I'd been shot in the back of the leg, but no pain, which is pretty weird. Set off left foot fine, then went to put my right foot down, and it was just like stepping on like a wobble board. Basically couldn't support my weight. So I think I've snapped my killies. Then hit the deck. Then the bastards that I was playing against ran me out. So as I was on the floor with a snap to killies, they decided to run me out as opposed to just leaving me. Which I was like, come on mate. I don't, I don't, I can't lost a lot of blood here. Er, missing in a killer here. Er, then ended up at the RVAI, dad took me to the RVAI.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Er, like, the lack of pain was kind of quite weird. Could you walk off though, what do you have to get like, to get stretch it off? Er, like to, you know, arm around either, plus not like an on-hand doctor or physio or something there. The closest doctor was Dr. Yusuf Smith. The Skony. The Luskob, yeah. Dr. Skop.
Starting point is 00:05:20 I have a question. Hit me. What's the sensation of being shot without the pain? So like a maybe more accurate would be like if someone took a baseball bat to the back of your leg, so it's like a jolt, it's like a percussion. Absent impact. Yeah, sensation of impact. Yeah, because it is. Do you hear anything? No, but I was everyone was shouting at the same time because as you hit a run
Starting point is 00:05:46 You have to call to the other player Yeah, exactly. I'm pretty certain that it usually makes a fairly big crack when it happens It make you hang a car of it My favorite thing about the whole episode is turning up to hospital and just seeing someone in full cricket white is not thinking, oh, that's not Chris. And then slowly, here we go. Well, that was the thing, like, if you play pretty much any other sport, 10 is football. You turn up and you're in shorts. It's kind of easy.
Starting point is 00:06:21 It's at least slightly inconspicuous. Maybe he just dresses like that, but like full, full cricket whites, which were brand new because my old ones were from when I was like 20 years old. So I had to get, cut out of the cricket whites once I had the boot on. I had to get cut out of a brand new set of socks
Starting point is 00:06:42 to get to my foot, because my foot had swollen up, is that a big elephant foot. It's a fat foot. Yeah, very boggy. Bogie. How's the boggy? So you just went in, a lady looked at me and went,
Starting point is 00:06:56 oh, he's gone that. I'm not cracking. Yeah, crack as you. And that was it. I was cinnamon from there on. They put me in a boot and sent me home. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. Crackers, yeah. the shin flat and you squeeze the calf and if the foot goes then the Achilles is attached and if you squeeze the calf and the foot is just then start news. Then it's cinnamon. But yeah, so the...
Starting point is 00:07:36 We're going to have to explain the cinnamon thing. It's just a video. So Dean, can you make the here I come I am cinnamon clip appear right now, please? Is it not a reference to something though? Is that not why the kid shouts it? I feel like he's making it up. I think so. So that's a level thing.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Is it copyrightable to include Heroicum I am Cinnamon in a podcast? I mean, Joe Rogan does all the time, so. Don't care. As he say, Heroicum I am Cinnamon in a podcast. I feel like he doesn't. I don't know. No. He gets Jamie to pull up some. It's in a podcast. I feel like he doesn't. No, no. He gets Jamie to pull up something.
Starting point is 00:08:06 It's just a fact. It's a fact, it's a fact, ginger German child running through a, a, shouting, shouting, running at someone. Here I come, I am cinnamon. So yeah, that was, that was it, put it to the lack of pain, man. Like the fact that there was no pain.
Starting point is 00:08:19 And everyone, like a lot of people say it when it happens. One of my buddies was playing badminton and snapped his and people didn't, they didn't take into the hospital or he had to like convince them that something had happened because he was so calm. Right. So he'd snapped his Achilles.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yeah, no, no, I'm being Patricia, I'm being serious. And then no one wanted to listen to him because he was just like, oh, if you've snapped your Achilles, you'd be in pain. But for anyone who's considering snapping in Achilles, your pain peaks are about four out of ten. And I'm pretty sure that that was because of the angle. My foot was at in the car on the way to the RVI.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Like other than that, it was like three out of three. It's like a video of the car accident. And the guy gets out and goes, I'm, I'm unhinged. I'm unhinged. And it also just extremely calm, like his car is his car on its side. And he's just one of the UK isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:15 No, I'm not injured. What are you okay? What was that video that went viral last year? Was it like Jess Glyn, Pursharedad? No, the one where a guy at, at Laurie was driving down the motorway. Oh, yeah. And his side swipe that. Ellie, Ellie Golding.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Ellie Golding. Golding. Yeah. And Ellie Golding's there and she's like, don't worry. I'll sing us back to health. What did she say? No. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Okay. Cringiest thing she could ever say. Yeah. She rocks up in a big range, but there's just like this guy driving down the motorway. Oh yeah, because he's just being pushed by a lorry. Yeah, he's just sat there like, I mean, the lorry can't see because of the how she
Starting point is 00:09:54 had the driver. Well, if you're in the car that'd be initial fear, then anger, then just apathy. Irritation, eventually. When you realize, I didn't believe you lorry drive it. Because he got out, I didn't know that. Oh got out. I didn't see. I didn't know. And you're like, um, pretty much like Dave Benson. I see what Dave Benson Jennings or something. The one who did. Yeah, get your own
Starting point is 00:10:17 back and dumps people in the gun and stuff. I didn't know. I just, that's a reference reference from 1995 that you've pulled out there. Yeah, the last TV show I've seen. I remember get your own. I think he came to my Freshers Week that guy and did like a student version of get your own back wherever I'm got guns. Yeah, gunked some. I wouldn't be surprised if Chris got him.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Like, yeah, be the sort of thing. Yeah, sort of the first new book, Chris., you got the wheeled stone raided, isn't you? Got no fans? No, we didn't, we didn't get him. That was someone else we got, got one. We got the beast. Full check. No, I refused to book the chuckle brother. Like, I just thought it was so sad. Try and tell me that you used to be able to book the chuckle brothers. and now you book the brother.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And it's just constantly reminding him of his best mate's death. Like, I don't want to do that. True. And everyone who goes in the club goes, oh, well, what happened to Barry? Oh, he's died. Oh, Barry. Yeah. And it just becomes like a...
Starting point is 00:11:20 Let's get self-made. Everyone's been drinking for all day and then then they end up in this really sad scenario in a club where everyone remembers watching that TV and I'll never be the same again. No, not about that. And they were going to me. That's why I didn't want to do it. So we went with Gokwan and Phil Mitchell from EastEnders. Oh nice. Phil Mitchell was EastEnders. Nice.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Phil Mitchell was good fun. What do these people do when you book the photos mostly? Gokwan is a DJ and now you'd think fashionista guy gay Asian. You would just think it's like Spice Girls and Vengeance all night long. You just think it's like techno. It was like really good house music. It's a proper DJ, which I was super impressed by. Yeah, I know. Yeah, because like, he's not basic enough to be like Spice Girls and Vengeance, like he's definitely a very high level guy. Yeah, he's two orders of magnitude down from whatever you thought.
Starting point is 00:12:27 So yeah, that was it. That was it, got in hospital. And then there was some weird stuff. So I've been reached out by like tons and tons of people. And again, this is not the Achilles podcast, but just it may happen to you, it may happen to you like someone that you know and it's pretty common injury.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Like I've had four people message this week since Saturday saying that they've ruptured their Achilles. That they ruptured it since Saturday? Yes, since they saw that you... Yes. And that's two of them are in one was in Sunderland and one was in the RVI like on Tuesday. So there's this new conservative management approach which is what I got you to do a literary review. But I tried to get you to do as a comprehensive
Starting point is 00:13:12 a review of all of the material he could get from British Medical Journal under the table while I was speaking to the doctor. So he's like, right, mate, so do you fancy, should we operate or do you wanna go for conservative management? I'm like, you see, can you just check what is the long-term athletic function outcomes from it? Yeah, I've started active campaigns. How do I know?
Starting point is 00:13:40 So, long, sorry, sure, at the moment there's a trial going on to see if they can not open people up and they can do it just by pushing your foot down like a ballerina toe and allowing the ends of the tendon to grow back together naturally. Long story short, I haven't found many people that have gone conservative management and don't have a caveat to their recovery. So most people have said, it's fine, but I have loss of function, loss of sensation, loss of mobility, whereas like Kobe Bryant operated on David Beckham, operated on everyone else that I know that to hire and athlete operated on and none of them have caveats to their
Starting point is 00:14:17 recovery. So like, there's some risks with surgery. Obviously, you'll be open wounds. There's like blood thinners that I need to take for six weeks in case I get a blood clot, like other people. Is it full anesthetic or is it local or? I know. So in the inside of the knee, numb the whole leg, then local anestesthetic then Bottle of morphine to take home with me Which is Hopefully not going to be needed but I think if you give him permission to to take morphine just having you say yeah, well like you don't you don't go I don't know that's a responsible. Yeah
Starting point is 00:14:59 But you think like a doctor's told me to do this? So. So I got a message off a guy in America and he was talking about how he was using Tylenol and one of those other like real popular opiates that are used by middle aged women. And he, he was all these like, ah, had Tylenol every eight hours and this, Austrian, Azul, every four hours. Americans love pink killers though. That's different to my toll, isn't it? Yes, sadly. It's not the same thing.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And then I was told, well, you're going to get a small bottle of morphine to take home with you. I was like, hang on, why is America in the 21st century? And I'm stuck in World War I. Like, what's going on here? Profits, isn't it? But they have an opiate epidemic.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Or opiodepidemic. Like they're using oxygen, they're giving people oxycodone to take home, like, just within the... That's what he said. That was the drug. Yeah. Are they not called different things
Starting point is 00:15:55 in the US? Because it's like the brand that they call... Yeah, it's like, Axi can't in or something. But, yeah. I've had oxycodone after my ball surgery and it is very strong. Like, if you ever seen David after the dentist, it's that it's so many viral video references to
Starting point is 00:16:14 that, but it's this kid who's come out of the dentist and he's like rolling his head around in the back of the car and just like just the shit talking his dad. And it's done. like just shit talking his dad. And his dad's just like, just filming him video and it was like that. Like I was just smack talking to the nurses like, I would honestly, I would pay, I would love to see that. But it's so much. I think that would be the funniest thing. Cause you just had ball surgery and you just being unpleasant to people. He's in brawf I'll get you.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah. Yeah. No, to be fair, I don't think it was, I wasn't being aggressive with him. I was just very delirious. I'm fucking telling you, man. You should have a full time camera man. You should have a full-time cameraman because the stuff that we get captured would be priceless. That's Gary Vee. Become Gary Vee and he must have a full... He does. He does. 4D Rockets. All that happens, all that Gary Vee's content is, is just him
Starting point is 00:17:22 existing being Gary Vaynerchuk and him having a man with a lens pointed at him all the time Probably probably quite a low effort life if you're just doing what you do normally. Oh hugely But there's as much as I don't like Gary Vaynerchuk and I'm certain that he's gonna die young because he doesn't sleep enough like He uh, which like tell me that's not the truth by the way. No, he looks so tired Like he's just constantly fucked. So I'd never seen any of his content before until you asked about him the other day. George asked about him and he just happened to be alive and I quickly went on to the live and he's sat there on the sky just like. Oh really?
Starting point is 00:17:57 I was just like, man, this guy needs to go and get some sleep. He's like, he's grinding. George sent the video, it's like a parody of that guy. Just a parody of that. Content. Yeah. Content. He does, I've passed up a little bit twice, and I barely even tell anyone about it. But I passed up a new batch twice.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Actually, it's a $25,000 into $300 million. I don't even care. I don't even care. But yeah, so like Gary's ain't sure. I didn't realize care. I don't even go. But yeah, so like Gary Vaynerchuk, I didn't realize this, but all of his books, he just sits in a room with a ghost writer for like a day and just talks at him. Then the ghost writer goes away with 10 hours of Gary Vaynerchuk recording and converts it into a book. We have a read that's impressive. I've got a copy of jab jab jab right hook down there, but no, I haven't read it. I've read, I think it's called Crush It, which was quite it's quite tough read. Why? I guess good, but it's just it bit like, just do loads of stuff on the internet for a very
Starting point is 00:19:07 long time and eventually you're like in an alright living from it. So something that I would pay to subscribe to is Johnny Watson book reviews because Johnny's threshold for what is a useful book is so high that it's fun. So like, his review of the Grant Cardone 10X rule in a spare out of drink. What was that? I haven't heard this one. It's just, so have you ever read the 10X rule by Grant Cardone? No. It's basically just like 10X everything that you think about. So like if you think about something like 10Xs. What's that mean?
Starting point is 00:19:47 And the whole thing of like, well, precisely. And this whole thing of like taking massive action, I, no one's ever been able to explain how that's distinct from just completing a task. Like why is that, Why is that any different? Is it just that it's a big important task, therefore the action's massive? Yeah, we are.
Starting point is 00:20:12 We're already doing action. Yeah, everyone's already. How do you actually take tasks all day? So it's just a case of picking the right ones to do. But everyone knows that already. Isn't just because it makes you feel hardcore and grinding. Not premiere. Isn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:26 It's doing content about it. When you've got an American that does that, they come out like someone like Grant Cardone. But if it was someone from the UK that was doing that, they'd come out like, who's that brummy real estate trader? Yeah, just thinking that, the property guy. Yeah, it was on Mike Winnitz show, Sam something. Samuel leads. Samuel leads. Samuel leads like, oh, Roy Tom, Samuel leads. That's it. We're going to pour some property today. That's it.
Starting point is 00:20:58 That's it. That's it. That's the equivalent. I've never I see him pop up on YouTube quite a bit. I always assume that it's because you suffocate him secretly. To better see him actually. Yeah, he's good. He's a bit, oh, you'd hate his accounting knowledge though. His accounting advice. Someone's like, oh, I'm wearing that box. Well, that's it, and he just gives accounting advice.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Oh, right. And it's very like, what's on the bottom? I think if you're not it, ironically, if you're not a charted accounting, you can't just give accounting advice. there's no recourse like he was gonna What's the same same with medical advice like there's no there's no medical body to be struck off from if you Not a that's just yeah Where that isn't it It's you're actually qualified to give the advice. It's a free for all so anybody can give the advice online apart from the people who are qualified to give the advice. It's a free for all. So anybody can give the advice online apart from the people who are qualified to
Starting point is 00:21:47 and they're all like, oh, I'm not, oh, I'm not going to bother this for doing doing with that, mate. No, I am not your accountant. It's definitely a lesson in there. That it should be switched and you should be allowed to give medical advice online. Just that taking advice online is a like nightmare. Yeah, like what, you know, someone's giving advice online like what's their agenda? Very fraught. Hmm, very fraught. You've both seen just on the Grand Cardone, you've both seen the Jordan Belford Grand Cardone interview.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Yeah. If anyone's got like 90 minutes free and thinks like, I'd like to watch a bit of YouTube, it's just some of the most awkward, uncomfortable, two fairly big names. Just, just sat there like, I thought they really get angry. Grant came out of that really badly. Like Jordan, Jordan's supposed to be this. Jordan has lived the life that Grant is pretending to live. Like this big dick, high money, status, all the birds, all the drugs, this sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And Grant just kept trying to one up him. And to his credit, Jordan just played the whole role. He was like, yeah, okay, okay, okay, like but try and ask a question, try and time down to a point. And then like you say, Grant, I can kind of see reflecting on that interview. I can now guess what the book's about because it's very... Substitutes list. Yeah. Have you seen those like those fake martial arts masters that do like the touch of death? And then like five people fall down on the other side of the room. It's kind of a little bit like that. And then putting
Starting point is 00:23:30 him in a room with Wolf Wall Street was like when you see those guys going the ring with a UFC fighter and they just get their face caved in. There's a huge cult following behind these people because even the students of them, it's not like they're paid to believe it, but they really buy into the whole thing. Like, oh, this is the guru, this is the master. And they, and then they defend him from, and if there is a fight, they go, it's because of the bad energy in the room. And it disrupted the like conduction of the waves.
Starting point is 00:23:57 And if you have it, he does like 10 X, 10 X conferences that are huge. They're done in stadiums in the US. He fills like football stadiums with people. And it's a big, like, I think he had Floyd Mayweather there. Yeah, last time. Yeah, I've seen him go on stage with him. Yeah, but it's just when Jordan asks him about how does Cardo and Capital work?
Starting point is 00:24:19 And he just doesn't really answer the question. Well, how do you sell? And he just doesn't also, doesn't really answer the question. And then Grant just accuses him of being on drugs. And that's just the thing that he does then. Like, oh, you were you were on drugs. So obviously it worked for you. It's like, that's how to film made about him. Well, he and I did a copy of the game. And like a play like a Boeing plane that someone just painted like dark green.
Starting point is 00:24:43 a Boeing plane that someone just painted, like dark green. It is. Oh man, it's weird, right? Because these people, unless someone brings them down to earth, they're just going to be able to continue floating through life, presuming that everything's fine. And maybe everything is fine. Maybe Grant Cardone isn't doing anything wrong, but it kind of feels like it's a bit of a day. It's hard to say, isn't it? It's hard to say whether any company is or isn't doing anything wrong, because people have shrung a bit like on Amazon,
Starting point is 00:25:13 for example, people have opinions that Amazon are doing things that are wrong, that like they underpriced things with like their white label products and all that sort of stuff. So yeah, like the people who are losing with Amazon are not the consumers that it's more the other suppliers. But with Grant Cardone, I think the people who are losing based on Mike Winnitz' experiments, Chris, you spoke to him on the podcast a while ago. He just goes and buys all these, like, make money on line schemes and just perceives if they work.
Starting point is 00:25:44 And it's like if someone has made a lot of money from the program, great, you know, there's proof of concept, but if not, and they're just being ascended through this pyramid scheme. Because there's the studious in the stadiums as well, like he employs people to, well, this isn't just for legal reasons, this isn't necessarily Grant Carter, and this is the person who was in the contraprenate. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Had stooages in the audience. Being like, yeah, I bought this and it's been great and I'll buy it too. Yeah, me too. And they're all stood like in spread around the audience. Very clever. It's mental. I'm sure though that he must have thousands of people who have been and that's like the balance isn't it is tired to.
Starting point is 00:26:28 So Mike hasn't found that this is the kind of canary in the coal mine test. Mike hasn't found a single person who's made money from grants course who isn't a reseller of grants course. The only people he's found that make money from it are people selling the course on how to make money from it. Right. Which is a pyramid scheme. Yeah. Aivan.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Is Aivan a pyramid scheme? I think all these things are gray areas and quite hard because there was that guy who that documentary called batting on zero yes that guy was convinced that her life is a pyramid scheme so he just shorted it with his hedge fund you know just held a huge short position so you know that that guy what's his name what was the guy's name that did I'm gonna have to get it up I can't remember he's made the most money, the best trade in history this year. Is it on Wall Street bets? No, it's not Bill Ackman. Bill Ackman this year decided that he was going to take out a
Starting point is 00:27:37 very specific type of insurance against, there it is, 2.6 billion big short. So it's called like the new big short, basically. Hegefund Chief bets on stock market recovery after profiting from coronavirus selloff. In late February, Bill Akman began worrying about the approaching coronavirus pandemic. It was concerned that he contemplated selling all the holdings of the investment group he founded almost two decades ago. Instead, working from his study from home, Mr. Ackman made a series of trades designed to hedge-pursing squares portfolio. That is to protect it in the event of a market sell-off. Within a month, the trade had returned $2.6 billion of profits, captivating the hedge fund world, and thrusting one of its
Starting point is 00:28:26 most controversial stars back in the limelight. What was the size of the trade? I'm trying to see it here. It doesn't really seem to have. I'm going to stress waiting. I'm going to stress waiting. Life, like turning up to your desk and being like, oh, I'm a bit worried about this impending coronavirus pandemic.
Starting point is 00:28:43 So I should maybe do some the edge of my portfolio against it. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. And the guy that was the person featured in the big shot, the guy that Chris, yeah, that Christian bail played, it's basically being compared to his trade, except for the fact that Blackman... Yes, Michael.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Michael someone. Except for the fact that Bill Ackman did his in a month. Hold on, so he predicted the coronavirus, and so put on a short position. No, he just saw the coronavirus in early February and predicted that the impact of the coronavirus and so put on a short position. No, he just saw the coronavirus in early February and predicted that the impact of the coronavirus would be bigger than most people were going to expect than... Right, we all wish we'd shorted in February.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And then gone long Tesla in February because it's four times the stock price now. It's insane. That's why these people are billionaires, isn't it? Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? Why not? Seth, you added an interesting insight.
Starting point is 00:29:48 You said kind of like market sentiments become decoupled from value. Yeah, exactly. That you've got companies like Tesla that have almost become separate. They've become completely decoupled from the stock price. It's no longer about the valuation of the company. It's just like, well, screw it, because the whole market is completely irrational now. The index is just unpredictable. More and more people are becoming yo-love traders, and sentiment is now just becoming the like, I'm sorry, home, I'm wound up, I'm just going to start trading stuff. Elon Musk is cool.
Starting point is 00:30:21 He's on Joe Rogan, and it's almost like it's become so crazy, it's almost like a wrestling or something and then he tweets something that's completely illegal stuff about his stock prices and oh he's on Joe Rogan and here he has spoken a joint like he's cool okay. Let's hand on him. Yeah. Did he tweet something saying like Tesla's underpriced at the moment in my opinion. Tesla stock price too high. I am too high. That is it. How was it? How was he not getting into his stock price? How's the resource stuff like that?
Starting point is 00:30:51 What he got taken off the board. Right. Because of that tweet. No, before that tweet, but but surely is that not still some kind of like market rigging or like, he's free now. Because if he's off the board, he can say what he wants, but people still see him
Starting point is 00:31:06 as the head of the fairly major shetold. Sure, he must own someone that knows the talent, tell us how it works. Please in the comments below. I imagine Elon knows how it works. Elon does know how it works. But then also, I don't think that he gives one fuck. I don't think he cares. He's just sold all his possessions because they're an attack vector. I know that's brilliant, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:31:35 He's gone for that. When Rogan asked him that and he was like, they're on a tech vector. Like, that is a man that's just on a different, he's in a different world that everybody else on a separate level. Like, I have to have a Tesla for obvious reasons for testing. That's why he's a bad rent thing. On aliens and living in a simulation and stuff, I'm like, do you know what? He's probably thought about it. He's done the work, hasn't he? Does an interview with him where he's like, he talks about how he's like frustrated that
Starting point is 00:32:04 he won't probably, he probably won't be alive when we by the time we get to Mars? It's crazy to have such a, so many levels of him as a hierarchy sorted that the thing you think about on a daily basis is like building roads under the surface of the earth to sort out congestion and getting the human race to Mars. There's a video that's pretty cool for people want to watch it where him and Jay Leno
Starting point is 00:32:30 get in a prototype of the cyber truck. Have you seen this? So the NLA Elon Musk turns up outside with a cyber truck. Jay Leno's car garage thing, it's kind of like top gear, but on YouTube. It's pretty good. And then they take one of the tunnels, like boring company tunnels, for a mile in the cyber truck. And then they just start in the middle of some car park,
Starting point is 00:32:59 and then arrive in whatever it is, SpaceX's offices, essentially. Take this huge elevator up by like 500 feet when they get to the end of the tunnel. And is that real, that tunnel? Yes. Right. What do you mean? I didn't know it actually built any, like there is a legit tunnel. Actually, tunnel, which is a couple of, maybe a mile long or a couple of miles long, which is a couple of maybe a mile long or a couple of miles long. Right. And the LA you drive in on one end and get an elevator, a car elevator up at the other end. And it actually happens and it fits a cyber trucking.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I need to be one of the team, wouldn't you? Yeah, God. Like to get the whatever planning permission you need to boring. You don't, apparently you don't need any. Because it's not, it's underground, isn't it? It's not owned by anyone. But it's like how far underground do you need to be where it's like? Well, that's a question. Like, do you own the ground under your house?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Or not, I'm sure again, someone will be able to answer this question. I think that the big thing here is it's the same as everything that happens. When technology moves as quick as it does, it outstrips the ability to litigate against it. It's like, until someone had the ability privately to build a tunnel under LA, they didn't need to be any laws about it. It was the same as in New York, there's a man in a Spanish Facebook.
Starting point is 00:34:16 But in Manhattan, they were selling the air space. So they were selling the square feetage directly above properties. And that was like the brain. And it was someone Manhattan created a law around it. Well, like Facebook and Google and all these companies that are now like in Senate. And when Zuckerberg was a couple of years, last year or whatever, I guess yeah, like this is them trying to catch up. And then you've got all these like Fuddy-Duddy senate members that are like, so we found you on the Facebook. What an evil eye fag.
Starting point is 00:34:49 It was, I think, some of the mas, you know, Bezos' question, I come and what it was. I just, like, this guy asks Jeff Bezos' question that he's kind of put, like, a morning of thought into it. And you think this man really, really understands the subject you're asking him about and you're open to like duck and dive and catch him out. It's just not going to work as it's like what let's just not bother with any of this because when you've got like Tim Cook from Apple Jeff Bezos, the, the, the look and like whoever they have from Google like who's gonna win Do you know do you know when you watch a toddler play fighting with his dad on the bed and the dads on his the dads on his knees as well and he's like
Starting point is 00:35:37 Kind of like this And then the dad kind of Falls over that's exactly what it was like. There's a new Sam Harris. I've been really, really impressed with this podcast recently. The, can we pull back from the brink and a tons of people that I sent it to, went and listened to it and really enjoyed it. There's another one which is significantly more dark, but it's about the current internet epidemic, the world's worst epidemic about child pornography online. And basically he brings up this Senate meeting where he's talking about just how far
Starting point is 00:36:14 lawmakers are behind the technology and what they need to be able to do. And he refers to it, he says, you've got this bunch of geysers up there at the top trying to cross examine some of the smartest people on the planet when they can't even unlock their iPhones. Oh God. I like some geezer there. So good, isn't it? I can imagine him saying it.
Starting point is 00:36:36 It's amazing. It's so good. Fucking geezers. Remember when we saw some gazes actual gazes it was eggy very eggy eggy bread very cold If you get up if you can sit right to Iceland. It's very sulfury everything's just quite Sulfur is smells of egg the water in the showers smell of egg and Everything's extremely expensive and extremely cold
Starting point is 00:37:04 in the showers, smell of egg and everything's extremely expensive and extremely cold. It's when you start in like having to crouch in an eggy shower, nursing your meningitis and your shaving dock. Do you want it? Do you want it? Yeah, you went to the corner shop, the cheapest thing to buy was Lucky Charms and a full dominoes pizza and that's all you can eat first. Well you go to like the local Mexican restaurant and have to like take out a payday loan to get a side. But then you have some salty licorice and a big packet and it's all okay. That's ski a yogurt man. It's so good isn't it?
Starting point is 00:37:43 Have you tried that Lindel's? No I've not, it looksurt man. It's so good, isn't it? Have you tried that Lindel's... I've not. No, I've not. Looks good though. Oh, they're too small for me, Chris. That's the main objection. No, do they do them in larger tubs? They do not know.
Starting point is 00:37:54 However, Aala have started to do an equivalent basically, which is again another sort of 20% larger. But dude, the macros on it, there is some wizardry going on there or we're going to find out in two years time that they've done a VW and just been lying about the emissions. What's this? Did that happen to Quest? I think Quest mistated the calories on Quest Bars for a while.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Is there something? Because of net carbs or fiber or something like that. There's a backdoor where you can actually revert the carbs as of this trans. You can fill in a form and you get to claim all the calories back and submit it to someone you got for dinner. Does this apply? I'm sorry, you know, that was I'm sorry, you know, that's right. And this can't code from wish.com. And yes, yeah, it was a technicality on it on the like oligose saccharides or something. Yeah. Actually, this is only carb.
Starting point is 00:38:51 If you do this, but then if you make one little break on the molecule, then it's very hard. Yeah, everyone, everyone, every, meanwhile, everyone's gaining weight because of press bars. If anyone's trucking is that precise, like, because the thing about trucking is it's all just arbitrary anyway. As long as it's Jim, which is amazing. So there's a Jim that I think is technogim plates, where I was looking at the calibration, it's like 20% or something or 10%. And so like, well, that could be 200 kilos on the bar. And it could be anything from 180 to 220. Yeah, it's fine when you like sub 100, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:39:30 You know, it's nothing. But then someone starts to start. Yeah. But as soon as you start getting up to some big numbers, it's like someone's going to have a real accident here. If we're not going to. Because there was always the case where like you, you'd go through a different gym and you'd either hit mad Pb's
Starting point is 00:39:42 or you would be like, oh my God, I'm really struggling today. Like on the cable stuff, well, like in one gym, it says 30 and then another gym is 30 and it's like immovable and you're like, surely the 30, it doesn't mean anything. It's just an arbitrary, it's just a relative measure. It's a unit. It's only useful to the people that go to that gym. Yeah. It's just a way for you to anchor how difficult that set's going to be. Oh, it's going to that go to that gym. It's just a way for you to anchor how difficult
Starting point is 00:40:05 that set's going to be. Oh, I'm going to leave it without that gym. I am. I'm leaving it either. But gold stars are perfect example of that man. When you've got weights that are older than some of the people that are lifting them. And there's older than time. Actual chunks of matter missing from them. It's like you're always going to feel like you're able to lift more in that gym because a 50 is like a 35. It's very clever. It's consumer lock-in. It's the same way that one password or last pass, like, keep you locked into their system because there's no export feature. So you can't then export your training data outside of that gym because you're like, well, it's
Starting point is 00:40:40 all just random programs. I love that. That's obviously a big issue for you, isn't it? A big, like, someone who's described, like, describe your top fires, try to work with you, so it would be, like, the last time. Keep it lucky. I'll have the next full feature. So Chris had an absolute painless situation with this.
Starting point is 00:40:58 I tweeted one password about this because I'm not going to make any kind of causative claims, but Chris had one password cancelled his membership and in the next day What happened? You google must have some sort of search function Where they look for phishing sites and forums that are publishing Usenames and passwords that that tie in with what you have
Starting point is 00:41:25 using names and passwords that tie in with what you have, cancelled one password, and it was that night, like within hours, I got a warning that 88 of my passwords were now visible online, and I'm like, does it just... What, just from Chrome? So Google gives you a warning. So as you go to auto fill stuff in, it pops up and says this many of your passwords are this, which 88 passwords that you need to go and change
Starting point is 00:41:51 manually is a task that took weeks. Do they tell you which ones? Yes, yes, yes. They do, right? Yeah, what otherwise, how would you know? Well, I don't know because I feel like it's not really Google's responsibility. I know. I couldn't believe that. For them to provide that kind of service for free for no reason because one password's gone. Oh, well.
Starting point is 00:42:10 I'm not launching that. I think Apple Watch Tower or something. Yeah. Watch Tower. Maybe that's what must run Tim for good the talk with it with a telescope. But yeah, that is a road on that. Fy-five, oh, from... I smell the blood of an insecure password that only has three special characters in it. And certainly this thing recently about the... because it is Apple valued at a trillion dollars.
Starting point is 00:42:41 It wouldn't be surprised. Let me see if I can find this. While you're finding that, here we go, and I've got it. So in terms of comprehending, a trillion compared to a million. So a million seconds is 11 days. We've heard this before. A million seconds is 11 days. A trillion seconds is 36,000 years. And that really just, because I think there was a time, it might be wrong, but I think there was a time where Apple
Starting point is 00:43:12 had like a trillion of cash or something. Is that right? Really? They had more cash than like the not that. Yes, and like that. Maybe that's wrong. Maybe it's not. So if someone had just said to Tim, listen, mate, come on, mate, I give you just, yeah, transfer us. What's your quit?
Starting point is 00:43:34 What's your thoughts on people's criticisms about Bayes us becoming the first trillionaire? Yes, so Apple, according to Forbes, as of July the ninth value, at 1.6 trillion. Which is nearly as much as what Bezos is going to be worth in a year or two's time. He's going to be the world's first trillion. I mean, that, well, as we've just discussed, is mental. But I think, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:06 I think a lot of people do things. The fact that one person holds so much wealth and then there's like a ton of criticisms about like Jack Dorsey gave away, I think like, 30% of his shares, or 30% of his net worth or something to charity. So they're basically a key's name of not doing enough philanthropy.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I think he does quite a bit of philanthropy. Bays us. Yeah. There is a point when you've got that much net worth that you can give away such a high percentage and it has no material impact on your quality of life. There's a lot of you are not serving a house you can get. Yeah. Yeah. On that netflix explained thing, they talk about I used to think it is, they talk about, I think they talk about billionaires and how once you cross a certain wealth threshold, you gain so much more wealth from the wealth itself that it becomes out of control. Just like, I mean, trancey or whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Like I think something like it was hard, it's very hard for a hundred million to not become a hundred and ten million, which is ridiculous isn't it? When you think that you've got a billion to not turn that into 1.5 billion over time because of just percentages and how things work. Have you heard of that film where you hate someone who has like ten million pounds or something and they have to spend it in 24 hours? No. No. And he actually has a really hard time trying to do it because of loads of like red tape
Starting point is 00:45:29 and people not trusting it and all this stuff. And like the challenge is he has to spend it by the end of the day. You never think that you'll just run into like bureaucracy as there's the reason why you can't spend killing someone. I'm telling you, I promise this is all right. Like you can't go to the bank and withdraw any more than a really silly amount of cash. I think you would be stupid if you just had to have it with the liquidity. You couldn't get it in physical cash, so you'd have to pay for everything.
Starting point is 00:45:57 You'd reach all kinds of fraud limits and be on the third of the bank instantly. Cinema pick and mix. That's what you got. That's really expensive. Yeah, it is. What would sell it on? No, no, arbitrage. You need to get rid of the money. I see you've just got to spend it.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Yeah, so your strategy Chris is, so I think you have to go across the cinemas in the UK. And by I come, I am cinema. Yeah, I am cinema. I am cinema. So I would use the initial million to employ as many people as I could for the day and get them to go around all the cinemas in the UK and buy all of the pic mix. And maybe you'd have to do all of it, but immediately run into an operational problem which is employing that many people that quickly
Starting point is 00:46:45 making sure that they are You know operating to a certain structure It's not even that. It's not even that. It's like how do you ensure that like? Keith in Glasgow is doing what you asked him to do because if he's Commission But then how do you how do you police the commission? Exactly You know that there was no one born commission. But then how do you how do you police the commission? Exactly. Oh, that's
Starting point is 00:47:10 You know that there was no one born with name Keith in 2019. Was it Keith? I thought it was Nigel in 2016, 2018. Wow. Nigel, but he's a dying breed man. It's not a very baby name. Oh, a little Keith. Yeah, you grow into that name, don't you become a Keith? We had a guy called me in our class. And he was always known as big Keith, and he was just a man all the time. It feels like you've got at least 40 before you can justify being called Keith in my head.
Starting point is 00:47:42 There's someone called Keith listening, who's and dress is really cool and is like, you're fucking, I tell you. Can you imagine how few carons there's going to be? Oh my God, did you see that a bunch of carons went on this morning to complain? I know. Someone made a meme of it that said, this is the most current thing that you could do. It's the level of, like, the levels to and it's that it's I wonder whether does I feel like you would think about that wouldn't you before you went on? You'd be like what are we being accused of here? What's the what's the essence of the problem here? It's that and then
Starting point is 00:48:19 is this helping or hindering? How would you deal with it? If your name was Karen. I think you just like don't take it seriously. Yeah. You know, I don't presumably, they're not encountering any kind of real issues from it. It's just a bit of internet. So the video guidance mum is Karen.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Does she mind? No. So that, I think that great, like if you're like, oh yeah, I'm called Karen, it's quite funny. You'd like like, like, own it. Really live it. Yeah. But you're kind of hamstruck. If you 40 and you're called Karen, it, I mean, he changed his name. To fuck on is on it. I mean, he's one way to look at it because obviously as someone who's just lost one of the most important tendons in his body, I've been reading a fair bit of stoicism, turn that around. If it was Ryan Holiday, it was looking at it, he would say, that's great, everyone's
Starting point is 00:49:14 got incredibly low expectations of you, much easier to beat them. Yeah, nice. Precisely what he would say. If your name's Karen, you now don't have to be anywhere near as polite or impressive to be polite or impressive. You just need to not be a bitch and you're already miles above what everyone is expecting of you. Well, if you just continue as you were,
Starting point is 00:49:36 that's immediately held in higher regard. Fantastic. Low expectations are an advantage one. I thought Dexter was your microphone there. I thought you were just talking into his head as the microphone. No, it's not. It's just looking wistfully for Lord. I wonder. Has anyone watched dark on Netflix? So since I saw you talking about it, I've tried and I'm really struggling.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Oh, Johnny, please. I'm persist. Oh, please do. And anyone that's listening. So I am very much of the same mindset. I think more of usif. But I know, actually, you like subtitles, right? Yeah. Okay. Well, I, I, you have subtitles and everything, don't you? You choose. You elect. Sometimes you've opted in for subtitles, haven't you? I do. I prefer to I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. And then me and my housemate will like right we'll watch the second one sub titled which is obviously very effortful Like you basically reading books for hours No, so I watched no subtitles English overdubs on the first episode of dark couldn't get away with it Just exactly as you said like all the tense moments were destroyed. They just sucks and then Episode two went with subtitles you said like all the tense moments were destroyed, they just sucks. And then episode
Starting point is 00:51:05 two went with subtitles. We're now on the final episode of season two. And dude, it's like it's so good. Hold on, hold on. Can't are you saying there's an option to switch off the dubbing? English dubbing, yeah. I just presume that was like preloaded. No, you can switch to it to original audio. I got. Close captions. You want to go audio and captions, turn off, go to the original audio, and you want English not closed captions, subtitles,
Starting point is 00:51:39 because closed caption subtitles must be for people that are like hard of hearing. And that's when they describe like Russell and Leeds. That's in the door. Yeah, exactly. It's like dramatic music. And then when the intro music plays, it tells you it's like, Ellie Goulding, Stars and Stripes. And it's like, well, hang on, if I can't hear, I have no reference for what that means.
Starting point is 00:52:03 You have a short sharp beat. Hang on, if I can't hear, I have no reference for what that means. Yeah, no to put that down. You never have that accidentally. Short shot beats. The weird. I've definitely had it watch something before with that just on and didn't realize that's what it was. I was like, this program's really weird. It's like a narrator that's talking about really mundane stuff. Dude, dark, stick acid. If you can switch it over, because that's the only thing I struggle with it.
Starting point is 00:52:22 It's just the total mismatch. Yeah, completely handled. The total mismatch of like this, what should be the sort of mood of the scene and the dubbing? It must be, it's just, turns into like a parody of the same situation. It just totally takes you out of the moment, right? Yeah, completely.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Imagine if you're a voice actor, there might be some listening, like if you're someone who moment, right? Yeah, completely. Imagine if you're a voice actor, there might be some listening. Like, if you're someone who has to do this job, like the actors that are there get to be in the scene, they've been on set all day, they're talking to the person, they can see that. And then you get, right, Jonathan, it's your turn now, mate. We've got about 15 minutes to get this scene nailed. Then Jonathan has to watch it on TV, while seeing the script, while matching his voice to someone who's not saying those words is other language noise, which relates to the words
Starting point is 00:53:15 he's saying. Yeah. Because like the intonation is different in different cultures, isn't it? So like, I think we go up like in, especially in northern thing to go up at the end of sentences. Yeah, Australian's a big on that. I'll put inflection. I love it. Everything's a question if you're Australian.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Going up at the end of sentences. Yeah. Yeah, it's um, but yeah, I was super, super impressed with dark. Anyone that needs something to watch on TV, I highly recommend that. Wasn't impressed by the business of drugs, which I thought I would be. Yeah, I've watched, again, I just pied it, just watched one episode and I was just like, was that the German one of the kids that set up a dark web thing? No, no, it's like a documentary series on Netflix. Okay. No impressed. You know one of the things that I couldn't, I actually reround, reround them once, like three
Starting point is 00:54:05 times, was the, this lady's like a CIA agent, right? Yes, yeah. And they keep a scene in where she's getting into the back of this like military plane, and nearly, like clearly, you know, and you're like, go to step up on something high, and you're like, go for the initial push off of it, isn't quite enough. And you have to come back down again and do it again. That nearly happens to her and she has to press herself off her own leg. And then go to some has this really serious conversation with someone in about drugs. I just think it's a bit harsh. It doesn't think you're in a very serious situation I'm actually like
Starting point is 00:54:45 Like someone needs to make a compilation of all those look you know like where you you try and pick up a glass and you miss You mouth or you trip a little bit on the pavement go like reach a door or something behind you Just grasping at the air for ages the worst the worst one is thinking that there Isn't a step there going downstairs thinking that there isn't a step there going downstairs. Oh, there's one left. Yeah. And for some reason it really hits your heart, doesn't it? The same as all the other steps.
Starting point is 00:55:12 If you pick up a glass and you think it's full and it's not, and you go. Which is funny, right? Because the tolerance that you've got shouldn't be so fine. Like a kilo or half a kilo of liquid, makes the difference between you slowly bringing it to your face or throwing it at the ceiling. It's amazing. We're so calibrated with little stuff like that. We don't even realise. Yeah, you need to speak to techno gym. That's perhaps a solution that they could go with. You start with me a lot when I was going to see the clients as an auditor, because you'd always be in a different building.
Starting point is 00:55:49 You'd always be dealing with different office environments. And I would always be a time, it probably happened once a month where I'd go into a person's office, open the door, and use too much force. And it's like bang off the thing. And you're like, there's no way to not look like a black enough. You have to just do that. Just hands on here.
Starting point is 00:56:10 So I am here now. Here I am. I am the door opener. Yeah. Well look, Seth, you got to get off it to your mum's birthday. It is. So happy birthday, mother, scoob. He'll pass that on.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I think this is probably going to go out on Thursday, which will be the day after I have my operation. So hopefully, I'm absolutely fine. I said on the intro to an episode the other day that I'm going to try my best to continue with a fairly regular publishing schedule, reason being that you just need to to do something like the alternative is having no reason to get up having no reason to kind of like transcend your discomfort.
Starting point is 00:56:52 There was that episode it with Kamal Rava Camp where he lost almost all of the blood out of his body and was able to take himself off. Yeah, he took himself off opiates because he wanted to read the manuscript with enough fidelity that he could tell where the punctuation was right and wrong. It's like if you have a strong enough reason to kind of transcend anything that's uncomfortable, it'll be fine. This is a pretty good version for me. Hopefully we will be not too disrupted when it comes to the recording schedule and the publishing schedule and that will help to hold me accountable, which will be nice.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Presumably, it's kind of one of the only things you can do post-surgery. I need to be horizontal for just 50 minutes. That was menacing. When I saw the story description of it, I was all sort of like within expectation at the recovery times and all sorts of things, but that point, I was just like, 50 minutes of the result in the video, with your legos out of every 60 for two weeks. Is that because it's literally not literally, you can't not load barris? It's to get the swelling down. You need to get, you need to get foot up, get fluid out. Do they, I imagine the surgery is just like tying a big, like a bow double knot.
Starting point is 00:58:11 It is. Succeed, suture together with semi-dissolvable sutures. Oh, well, dissolvable sutures that take three months. So, clever business. Yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty far. It's medicine and doctors and stuff. I know. Could you have a go, Yusuf?
Starting point is 00:58:24 If I just said, get a kitchen knife out. It's pretty, it's pretty fun. It's medicine and doctors and stuff. I know. Did you ever go use it? If I just said, get a kitchen knife out. Could you have a crack? It's kind of like asking Johnny to like go into a Spanish construction company. No, like financial institution. Okay. It's like a Spanish hedge fund. Yeah. Can you just just run the account?
Starting point is 00:58:47 I mean, we've got another crack at it. I know mostly where everything is, but the specifics are going to be... I'd back you. I'd back you as well. I don't think you'd do anything wrong. Well, I made it worse. Is this me or I'd search for the need to test
Starting point is 00:59:04 or just do one more operation search for the need to test or just doing like just one more operation. All the doctors do. Just being a single theatre team. Just me. Those loads of films where they do it. And I feel like it would be really irresponsible. Yeah, but when they get a bit snow and they'll have a nice, nice tea. Yeah, like, just like, like, remove a bullet and all that sort of stuff. So if someone who's not even a doctor can remove a bullet from themselves with like a're having a nice, like, just like, like, remove a bullet and all that sort of stuff. So if someone who's not even a doctor can remove a bullet from themselves with like a mirror and a carpool, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Like if Matt Damon can do it, then, yeah. Well, just like watching movies throughout 2010, 2020 has taught me that any wound just needs corturizing. Like, corturizing. Doesn't matter how bad it is. Yeah, just, just corturize it. That's it. The thing I always wonder is in films where the bullets I'm like, you're not a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater.
Starting point is 00:59:46 You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater.
Starting point is 00:59:54 You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater.
Starting point is 01:00:02 You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. you like put a bandage on. It's like, it's like straight through nothing to worry about. That hang on. No, that would be nothing to worry about if it hadn't hit me. It means that's something to worry about because someone just shot at you. Less to worry about. Unbelievable. The question of like, do you take the knife out or do you leave it in? Do you turn up to A&E with a knife sticking out of you? Like, do you leave the bullet in?
Starting point is 01:00:28 I'm truly leaving it in. Yes, I think it depends. It depends on a lot of things. I was like, where did it end up? To be honest, I wouldn't want to make that call. It's not a plug. It's not a drain plug, is it? Well, that's what you want to be careful of. And also, if there's a bullet in, it's not a drain plug, is it? Well, that's what you want to be careful of, and also if there's a bullet in, it's like,
Starting point is 01:00:47 has it introduced more infection than it, or like, is it going to cause more trauma by removing it? If it's a serrated knife, by removing it, are you going to cause more damage? But then it's like, well, okay, how do you get it out anyway then? Do you have someone that's going to have to take it out on it? At some point, yeah. Unless you just, I'm? Do you have someone that's going to have to take it out on me? At some point. Yeah. Unless you just made a lot of decision. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Well, that's last. If you left a knife in your shoulder for the rest of time, you'd have some way to hang stuff, wouldn't you? I'd be the sort of thing where you'd like, you'd catch it on something. It would come out of your door. Always on the door. Leading now.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Yeah. I know. I like putting a jumper on in Zara. And so did you catch it. And then slim fit all over the thing. And you have to have the conversation. I had a knife. Michelle. Still there. That's what that's what they have to pay for the jumper. Even they didn't want it. And all that sort of stuff. I would leave. I think I would leave it in.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Based on my absolutely zero understanding of any of this. I feel like that's my knee. Joe responds would be better in than I was. Well, no, initially, far better out than in, but once it's in, it feels like it'd be better in than I was. Fine. That's the only thing that you think should stay in as well, isn't it? Everything else in life is just a series of getting it built up to you being able to get something out of you, which is the great pleasure of having food water. That's nice to go in. I'm sure there was a podcast where we talked about this. Yeah, it was Johnny's philosophy on
Starting point is 01:02:18 like things going in your body versus things going coming out of your body. Well, the idea that everything coming out feels nice. Oh, yeah. That's it. Very, very little. Spurs apart from a cough. But that's not really coming out of you, is it, per se? I was attempting to get something out of you. You're on to nice.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Anyway, you said, point, which like, things going in a nice. And then we then we clarified that most things could be put in if someone who had the right tools, frame of mind, skills, and motivation. There's ways you could put things into people. If you really applied yourself to it, and only some of the things are nice. That's true. It's easier. The barrier for what is nice is easier for going out than in, isn't it? There's a select number of things going in that are nice, but most of the things going out are nice. I'm glad that we've managed to... Better out than in. Better out than in, except unless it's a knife in your shoulder. Look gentlemen, thank you very
