It's so good to have the boys back. I am sad that it wasn't in person, but

it's good enough, you know, we go through a ton of good life hacks today and if you want to give your suggestions, you can join the Modern Wisdom Locals community and post them in there and maybe I'll feature one on an upcoming episode. Modernwisdom.locals.com join me and over 1500 other listeners. Where we talk about all sorts of interesting things, including who I'm seeing and what I'm getting up to in Texas, which is lovely, by the way, very much enjoying it here. Needed a change of routine and I've absolutely got that. I will be seeing Daniel's loss this Thursday.

It's sore him in Newcastle. Now I'm seeing him in Austin, so I can't get away from the guy. So I'll be seeing him. I was with Michael Mallis this weekend. It's going to be a fun few weeks and you should expect some very special episodes with some people who will be landing in the city in not too long. But now it is time for some more life hacks. It's been so long, hasn't it? Ages. Too long, if anything. I actually can't remember that five months is how long it's been is that right no it wasn't five months five months since the last life hacks yep June what's weird is I don't feel like I have

that many new hacks on my list I've got got loads. I thought you might. Yeah. You know, it's not, it wouldn't be right if you'd suggest a life hacks episode if you had no life hacks. No, yeah, that's when you know when I suggest let's do a life hacks episode, it's because my list is getting very swollen and turdured and it needs a release releasing. Yes, manual release. So today is the manual release of all of my life hacks, hot sticky life hacks all over all over your screen. Also, I am going to Texas for a while this Friday. I'm gonna fly to Austin and spend a few weeks out there, which is going to be fun, because the last 18 months have basically been the same day lived over and over again. I elected to essentially extend my quarantine because I created a routine that I haven't

been able to get myself back out of, even though the rest of the world opened back up, I just spoke to the same. Yeah, I think for three of us, we have just lived the same day. Yeah, over and over again. I just need to break it, man. So yeah, I'm going to go to Austin. For some reason, when I imagine you in Austin, you just always have the cowboy hat. You think it would appropriate Austin, a text and culture very quickly?

Yeah, like holsters, leather holsters big like snake skin boots and those kind of swathed Bounce buckle. Yeah, asking why and what what where and where who Just become Frank Underwood from House of Cards. Was he from Texas? I think he's supposed to be. There's like an undertone of Texas accent. Something about him. He, when that scandal went on and he just doubled down. What, and then he got, he privately created his own DVD extra. For anyone that doesn't know what we're talking about, the guy that plays Frank Underwood who is called Kevin Spacey. Kevin Spacey. He after 18 months after a huge scandal got released that was the reason

that he no longer did House of Cards, he then created as the character in House of Cards a semi-fourth wall break referring to the camera, fully edited and cinematic with music and stuff, but just done off his own back, and it just appeared out of nowhere on the internet, and then no one really spoke about it again, and now no one knows where he is, and that's it. I can't bear to imagine the legal implicate, like copyright and all that stuff, of just, you know, remaining in character. character to be honest mate. I think that he's probably got bigger Problems from a jurisdiction perspective. I think that there are larger issues at play just throw it in the pot Yeah, I mean his lawyer just like oh

No, it's not funny. That's the point. Yeah, he's not supposed to be frank So I'm gonna go out then. I'm going to be like Frank Underwood, but Michael Miley's is out there. Aubrey Marcus is out there. Lex Friedman's out there. Jockeau Willink is in town a week on Saturday. Oh my god. Which will be pretty cool. So I think I'm going to go and see him. Well, I'll just implode sick for a and with him. It'll just be good. Yeah, everything will be good. Fucking good. Are you going to meet all of them? Is that the plan? I don't know. I mean, Jocco's got a live show on. I've just tweeted him recently, so I'll try and get him on the show because we were talking about

a while back. You got to get cool on, man. He's serious, eh? All-brae, I'm living my Airbnb is 10 minutes walk from on it HQ. It's also 10 minutes from KUYA. Do you remember I had that Dr. Dan Engel, the guy that did MDMA therapy on? So his new place in Austin, which does cold and hot treatments and flotation tanks and MDMA assisted psychotherapy and stuff, all of that, just to playground.

So those sound like three quite different things. I don't think you do them all together. And then it's like in a float tank. I mean, it would be you'd be tempted to just do it all at once. You'd be like, right, do you know what? What's the plan? Give me the platinum package. I mean, yeah, I assume it'd be quite traumatic rather, it's not like it's not going to be like a nice relaxing experience. No, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do them all together. I think that's, that's almost definitely the rule. But yeah, so Zach Talander's going to pick me up on Friday, which is nice.

Annoyingly, because I took one extra day to gesticulate about which Airbnb I was going to get, I, someone booked one night in the Airbnb of the night that I arrived. So I can still book it for the entirety of my trip without having to move. However, the first night I'm gonna have to spoon Zach. So I need to, I'm getting picked up by him and like, woohoo!

I'm playing little spoon for the evening. What's the thing you are most looking forward to? Change of routine, man. The last 18 months has just been. I don't have a particularly good routine here. The main thing that I've realized over the last 18 months is that there is more to life than completing tasks on you to do list.

Yeah, very hard to get out of that. They're just, and because it's so inherently enjoyable, there is something that is really, really enjoyable about completing the things that were in front of you. Because for ages, you were never able to complete them. And now you keep on going and you keep on going, but you realize it's kind of too much of a good thing because you do that at the mercy, you sacrifice that. I mean, how much of, obviously, we've had a pandemic and stuff. We've barely seen each other apart. We've seen each other more on podcasts than outside of them over the last 18 months, which is pretty scandalous.

Well, even the podcast used to be all of them used to be in person on your. And it would be an entire evening and they'd be better before and better. Yeah. So I just think there's been some you get into rhythms and routines of living. So, where I'm living, I'm next to the gym that I'm going to train at, which is Atomic Athlete. I'm 10 minutes from Onit, which is where Christian, and Sky, and Max, and Aubrey, and all of the people that look after his stuff. 10 minutes from David Perrell, 15 minutes from Michael Males, like loads of people there, different food, different training, different stimulus. I think I'm going to go hunting one weekend.

So it's just going to be all of the stuff that I do now, still the same show, still three times a week, with some extra in-person, but everything outside of the show should change. I need to refresh. It's been successful the last 18 months has been good, but there's always a price to pay, and I think sanity and boredom or monotony would be more accurate, because it's not being bored but it has been monotony. It's interesting to see what it does to your, because I can't think of anyone that's doing what you're doing, that you would meet in person I can't think of anyone that's doing what you're doing that you would meet in person regularly.

That's like ahead of you. Maybe you know someone, but like certainly in you cast, let's not like the hub of. Last time we were going to London to see Ali Abdel. That was probably it. Yeah, but you are, you're throwing yourself into a place where there'll be a lot of people who are doing some pretty cool things. Yeah, it's so. Little fashion big pond time again, which I'm quite looking

forward to actually. I think you'll be more productive in the time that you are working as well. Like, wherever you have a shift of scene, you're not in the kind of slug mode of the same desk and in the kind of inertia feeling when you're like even like literally going to the local library or coffee shop or something is enough to just be like right on a different environment now. So if you've got a timetable of events coming up you're always going to complete your work to give you time to be able to go and do the events whereas when you've got fuck all going on at home you just it's Parkinson's law like runner mock you just expand your workout and now and then even if you complete the tasks,

well, I'll just put another task on my plate. It's fine. I've got nothing to do tonight. I'll just keep working. I'll just keep working. Whereas if Jocco's live shows on it 6 p.m. and I know that I need to leave, I think right where I need to get this edit done

or I need to get these emails finished up, whatever it is. So yes, I'm gonna be in Texas. So if there is anyone that thinks that I should meet up with people that are out there, just tweet me or leave a comment below or something like that and I'll try and... I'll try and have more adventures. It's got to be Joe Rogan, surely. I've got people.

I've got people. The person that meet up with now. Well the number of people that have messaged and said, dude you're going on Rogan? I don't think you realize just how big the delta is between Joe Rogan and everybody else. It's very flattering for people to be like, oh my God, are you going on? But no, I mean, maybe, if Malice goes out for dinner and the stars align, he was out for dinner the other night

with Michael Malice, Lex Friedman, Joe Rogan, and Alex Jones. What a dinner. Fucking. You've got one from each of the food groups sat around that table. So, but I don't know, man. We'll see. There's a lot of serendipity, I think.

So, it'll be cool. And if nothing else, Michaela and Jordan are in Nashville in a couple of weeks time. So, I'm going to go and see them. So, I'm probably going to spend a week in and fly out. Douglas Murray is in town. Hold on, hold on. You're going to go and meet Jordan Peterson. I think so. Yeah. Nashville, because I would have met. I just I feel like you've just washed over that snippet. I think I rewind to when you first heard of Jordan Peterson, someone said that you're going to be like going and spending some time with them. I actually casually dropping the fact that you get to go and see him. I was like, I'm gonna be doing it.

When I ask you, what's the thing you're looking forward to most? You're like, oh well, you know, it'll be nice to not be at work from a different place. And yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I would, maybe that shows, I've spent a lot of time getting to know Mick and sort of talk to him a fair bit as well. So maybe that's Douglas Murray as well.

He's going to be floating around. So I might get to see him. I want to get a gym session in with Douglas Murray. That's going to be quite funny. Anyway, that's enough, that's Douglas Murray as well. He's gonna be floating around, so I might get to see him. I wanna get a gym session in with Douglas Murray. That's gonna be quite funny. Anyway, that's enough, that's enough. That's an incline bench, I think. We have to be the... What we need is more name-dropping.

So it's a life-hack episode today. I'll be in Texas soon, but this episode needs to happen right now. So Johnny, what life activity got for us? I think I have one of the, it's at least the list on Least Excited to share. How's that for Lure? Everyone's like, really, really just wind us up. Let us go. Come on.

So a few of mine are a bit niche. I don't know whether that's okay. Hit us. The one I wanted to be, one I wanted to be, one I've wanted to A few of mine are a bit niche. I don't know whether that's okay. Here does. One I wanted to be, one I wanted to be, one I wanted to share for a while, which is very niche. And I think Chris Mylaffer is a bar velocity tracker. Have I shared this before? No, but I know that you talk about it, so. So I guess for anybody who, I mean any Olympic lifting, and it's certainly any power lift,

there's anyone who tracks their trade, their trading in the gym. This is a little black device, little black piece of plastic. I think they're 3D printed, they're really weird looking things, made by a company called Rep1. You touch this wire to a barbell, magnetically, it touches to a plate or to the power rack or whatever, and it basically just measures what the bar is doing in space, it tells you how fast the bar is moving. The nice thing about it is firstly, you can predict what you can do, which is really cool, so you know what way you'd be able to lift on a certain day, but also it's just another way of tracking progress, because anybody who's been training for any length of time knows that it does

it does get harder and harder over time to just keep adding weight to the bar, but you can just get 0.05 speed improvement over time. So they are quite expensive, it's probably something that I guess you're thinking about 300, it's $350. So it depends on the exchange rate at the time. And what's the app like? Really good. Interface is pretty slick. Yeah, I mean, it's a really small company, so there's normally a like a backlog you have to wait for them. But if you can get your hands on one and you care about anything like this, I think I probably, I was thinking about this the day, it'll be into the thousands of reps that I've tracked with it now. So it's pretty like if I I'll do a warm-up set and it with pretty good accuracy can predict what I can do on that day. So I just don't have to think about it.

That's crazy. So is that these things? Do you use it as kind of a gauge for RPE? Yeah, so I do what you're not really supposed to do, which is I kind of navigate nor our PE and I just look at the bar speed. Because I know like over time, if I do something and if I do a bench and it's 0.21 meters per second, that's an RP8. So I just look at the bar speed. This is so cool. Like this is postRPE. But my coach tells me off, you're not supposed to do that. You're supposed to still have a feel element, but everyone's being under a barbell

where it subjectively looks really hard. Maybe someone, you stand up and someone goes, that wasn't really easy. I think you lose some of the ability to actually measure it when it's happening to you. as if you just rely on the speed of it then, it can be, it can be very humbling because like you go into into the gym, you don't want to train and you warm up set was faster than last week. You know, I can't say like here we go. Yeah. But yeah, so if, if you're into any strength sport or you train with barbells regularly,

you like tracking your progress, you like graphs and charts and all that sort of stuff, highly highly recommended. Nice. It's I've got over a year of use out of mine and it's brilliant. You said. It's called a one device. Nice. There we go.

Just to add to that, I think it's always worth paying for this kind of thing. If there is something, if you train for strength and you care about improving a particular metric and there is something that you can buy that will help you achieve that goal. And even if you can attribute a 5kg gain on your squat to that device over a year, like that's well worth it compared to all the other stuff that we spend hundreds of pounds on, like, I don't know, creating and, yeah, I'm going to say supplements, new pairs of lifters, some weird, sleep mask and acupressure mat to help you power a sympathetic system. There we go. There's so much that you, whereas this is directly attributable, you'd be like, right,

I can actually see that that has resulted in knowing whether I'm progressing and improving that. So today's life hack for me, I don't know if you guys know this, but the way that I like to divide my life hacks is actually a hybrid is to digitize photos. So about five or six years ago, my dad died and we had to clear out the house and we had loads of photo albums from like literally from like 1970s up until recently and that all been physically printed onto photo albums and filed away and it was boxes and boxes of it and we were thinking like how first of all No one's got the space to store this stuff and secondly What are you going to do with a bunch of physical photo albums like how often do you sit and like flick through them and we found a company that? Digitizes

Documents and they just scan and bulk. So, and they were fantastic. They were called clear data, and you just give them the boxes. They have like a proper, almost like a warehouse factory with loads of people that take the things out of the sleeves and scan it through the thing. And they send you a sample and they're like, you happy with how this is gonna look?

And you're like, yep, great. And they keep you informed along the process. And it was like 800 quid or something to do 9,000 photos, which I think. Holy shit. Which I think is worth it. Like that is such a good deal. And that's someone taking each photo out of it's little.

So I think what actually what we did was we went through them and like threw away all the crap once and then remain the 9,000 were like the pick of the crop. And so we gave them in boxes to them. They did it and then just sent me a USB stick with a password. And that was it. It's just like that is the entire like,

scone family memories. Yeah, you said boxes and boxes and boxes of things and a thumb drive came back that happened to have the mall on Replicable for the rest of it. It was really it was one of those moments where you you realize how far technologies come Because we take it for granted don't know that you like USB stick. You don't ask look be like god that is Everything suppose you you don't know how to just look, be like, God, that is everything. So as you, you don't often see like a physical representation of what's on the USB stick. Like if you had to print off the pages of everything on a USB stick and sit it next to you,

you'd be like, okay, like that. That's crazy. A stat that I saw that said, the amount of data that is created on the internet every day, if you printed it out, double-sided on A4 paper, it would make a stack that went to the sun and back every single day. That's how much data it created. A stack, not if you lined up.

Yeah, so just put them down like you would do a normal stack of paper, one on top of each other. It would go to the sun and back every single day. My gut reaction to that is and back every single day. My, my like gut reaction to that is that that's not sustainable. Like somebody's going to happen. There's also a stat around. So you have all of the service space across the planet, right, which is holding the data, but the actual electrons that make up the data itself, if you combine all of those together, it would be smaller than the size of an orange. And that's all the data itself. If you combine all of those together, it would be smaller than the size of an orange.

And that's all the data, all the data, smaller than orange. Just come and get my head around it. Mental, right, my one, my one, I've got loads of good lifehacks. First one is if you're buying stuff from ASOS because they have free returns and because if you spend more than a hundred or a hundred, this is one of the OG life hacks. Yeah, it's never been one. I don't think it's been featured, man. I got caught by this.

Yeah, Johnny should have done it. So basically, order, if you're not sure about your sizing on ASOS, because delivery is free over, I want to say a hundred or £150 and returns are free and you get between, it's like 60 days, it's quite a generous exchange policy, I'll return policy, just buy everything in every different size that you think that you might want to bump you up and over the $150, get free next day delivery, you've also got free returns plus you know that you're going to find the size that you want and if you're in in between sizes You also know that rather than doing it in two batches of 50 pounds or something or two batches of 75 pounds

having to pay for shipping potentially twice and not having it all at one go just buy everything from ASUS and then send it back So I used the like they have like an AI I use the, like, they have like an AI shop assistant where you put some measurements in and it like predicts what your size will be. I wouldn't like five or six things and it was 100% if it was wrong. So I just send everything back. Cause that's where I message you saying like,

how do you deal with this and you said the hack is or I know. What measurements did you, do you have to send like in a thigh measurement and stuff? It was a just like, no, I don't think so. I can't remember. It was broken the system. Your inner thigh measurement will be beyond maximum. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, it was all just like slightly too big or slightly too small, like it could have all passed. But in the shot, if you were trying on

the shot, you wouldn't try it on a go, yeah, it's fine. Like, I need the other size, but this one will do, like, you would go and change it. I think that that's like, if you're wearing something that's like, ah, it's a bit small, but I think it'll pass. It's not. Take it back. Yeah. And I, especially if the only thing stopping you is like, I've got to put it back in the bag and put it in the box and set it back with everything else. That's it. Easy. Right. Johnny, what else? So mine, this next one is,

I think the opposite of what use of does for everything in this category, which is to sign up when you're signing up for a service or an app or anything like that, to do it monthly and never get the bulk option. Reason being, when you get build every month, it's a prompt and a reminder of like, am I still using this? So you're always using the fewest things because it's happened to me once before where you just get hit with an Apple bill of like $39.99.

Like what on earth is that? And then you realize that it's an annual subscription you sign up to a year ago and you kinda don't really use the app anymore. Well that's, and that sort of thing. So anything that you, anything that you can do. What are some examples of these things

that you've got? So anything, so like, so Ron Watt is probably the best example of this. Like I signed up for that initially yearly, because as I was using all the time, Yusef told me that I was going to snap my back if I continue using, not really. But like, all the stuff kept you guys,

which I had to see McGill, and it was a bad idea and all that sort of stuff. Stop using it, and I still had like eight months of the year left. Right, so that's an example. So anything, just any, any app, I suppose the only exceptions are stuff that you are absolutely sold that you are not going to stop using. So it's something like Netflix, for example. Can you think of that yearly? I feel like you can only pay that monthly. Probably not. I'm as in private can pay yearly, probably not. I was in private in a year, like, for example, I think I agree with that. Like, the only thing that I do is put in a, so as soon as I sign up for anything, if I'm not sure

I'm going to keep it, I'll just put in a reminder in my tick tick command shift, oh, yeah, like five days before, give myself a bit of grace period, not like the day of the display review, because otherwise, like, if you don't catch it immediately, you're fucking done. Because with a lot of apps, there's the clause of like, if you log into it after the subscriptions come out, they don't, like app have a really strict refund policy.

I'm so like, well, you knew about it for a year, so why is it suddenly an emergency? Yeah, and I agree as well. Like, that's what I would say. But you don't wait till the day after you get built to go, I want to cancel. The majority of apps as well that you use, they do have a shelf life.

You get bored after a while or you feel like you pick up all the low hanging fruit from this breathwork membership or whatever. Optimize.me, Brian's thing. We've all been through that or a blinckist membership or yeah, whatever. I like that. It's more flexible, right? Yeah, but you everyone has that like period of enthusiasm with it Well, like, oh, this is it like this is the app. This is the only app I'll ever need for this

I'm gonna assign a yearly so save money But actually I think a lot of the time You end up either getting rebuild in error. You didn't you didn't want to get rebuild or you Don't use it as much as you think you were and monthly email going, you've been build is enough to prompt you to go out here and cancel. Nice. Seth. This is a physical one. I have been looking for a way to routinely clean my bathroom. And I found like, I think it's the, I don't know if it's hard or soft water that gives you the lime scale, you know, toilet, hard. So yeah, so I've got this like de-scaler thing and you have to pour in the toilet and you have to remember

to use it every like a couple of weeks and then you leave it for 10 minutes and scrape out the thing and it's a bit of a ball egg. So recently I've started buying toilet system pucks which are the little blue circle thing. It's heard the flush blue. Yeah like every old woman in the world has one and you put it in the system it's brilliant like last for like six weeks, it gives you a nice blue toilet and everything's just handled, just bleachers every day for you. So you put it in the, it's not one of those ones that like hangs down in the bowl. So that's called a like rim guard or something.

It's not. It's just something like that. No one's allowed that word. Right guys, let's, we call the marketing meeting for the new Domestos toilet. Jonathan, you've got a great name for this. We've come up with RINGARD. It's called RINGBLOCK. That's even worse.

No, this goes into the system, which is the back. I suppose, okay, one extra life hack just off the back of the back. So I remember seeing this because the system, like the whole point of it is that it drips feeds whatever's in it through your toilet, is the, I saw somewhere that if you do, if someone's upset you, you can poo in their system and then every time they flush the mess. Yeah, and they just can't them out. Little bit of poo.

Yeah, and they just can't work out where it's coming from. Never a lot of poo. I wouldn't do it. I actually think that probably that that's not as logistically difficult as you might think. Take the lid off, feet on the bowl. Yeah. Sit on... It's just doing a poo but one level up, isn't it? It is, it's a level two poo. It's not a a poo but one level up isn't it? It's a level two poo.

It's not a ground floor poo. Not level one poo. The problems you have is your feet would be closed together so that would feel strange. I bet the system's not as stable as you think. Yeah, that's true. You wouldn't be able to use your Scotty potty and I'm fully sold on my Scotty potty now. You haven't spoken about that. Really? Oh, no, yes. No, sorry.

I lie, I lie, I lie it in the first life to unkink the rectal shell. Very important. Someone actually posted today saying like if you're wiping more than three times for a poo, something wrong with your diet, and I respond to saying that's that's sometimes true, but also it could be a technique issue. Like if you're optimistically trying to squeeze out a second one after like you've done a pristine log and you're what you're thinking,

how do I like, but it's not fully, and then you have to just be like, oh, right, abort. I'll cut it off. Yeah, you can't be doing that. You've got to just commit to a good one and say, right? If there's any of that you leave it there for the day. Yeah, we're done. All right. What am I gonna do? This is a very Johnny one actually.

This is I've realized because I'm Tumbled into intermittent fasting because of how much time I spent talking to Dr. David Sinclair earlier this year And a lot of the time I haven't eaten probably until about two or three pm. I go through my day and do things when I'm hungry. And shopping when you're hungry is just a recipe for things to go terribly wrong. So, thankfully, in most British supermarkets at least, they have the convenience sandwich aisle directly at the front. So the best way I've found to just nerf, take the edge off this is to buy a sandwich. So go into the supermarket, get a sandwich,

aim for around about, is it 15% of the calories from protein and just eat the sandwich as quick as you're walking around, but relatively quickly and it'll just curb your hunger cravings. So you won't end up going to the confectionery aisle and buying tons of stuff that you don't need and throwing it in. So this is if you're eating windows just started and you're going shopping? Correct. Or to be honest, I think given the choice between breaking your eating window a little bit earlier and buying a ton of junk that you don't need from the supermarket, it just wants to munch. Yeah, exactly.

You're losing, you're paying the lesser of the two costs. So yeah, just have a sandwich. If you're hungry and you get to the supermarket, and this is, you know, not everyone's intermittent fasting, if you're hungry and you get to the supermarket, just buy a sandwich, it'll be £2.50, which will be far less than the £10 of junk that you're going to buy. Plus, you're not going to have all of that shit in your house anymore. It's perfect. I can't believe that I've never done it before. People should just eat more sandwiches in general, I think they're absolutely fantastic.

You are a connoisseur. Brilliant. What's your top three sandwiches that anybody could buy? Three sandwiches that I can buy right now. From a supermarket. Yeah, or from a high street. Okay, so instead of that, I'll rank. I'll rank if you've got to buy a sandwich, you're out in town.

You need to get a sandwich. Where should you go? Yeah, good question. But I want to know what sandwich from each place? Specifically. Yes. Anything from the M&S sandwich section is pretty much always very good. And anything we're chickening, so the chicken and bacon was like a chicken club.

So chicken sees a salad one, all very, very good. It's a really steep drop off after that, unfortunately, so... Waitrose, you think, Bet that sounds just nice. Very disappointing. Sainsbury's, Tesco, they're okay, and I wouldn't even look anywhere else to be honest. Really, we need to do a special edition episode of the sandwiches. You were such a sandwich snobby, you know, I think we need to follow Johnny round and just I think just to see what Johnny can do to a sandwich, like it's a must.

It's a terrifying. Did you see that the guy that started Bastille sports, El Presidente? Did you see that he does one, one bite pizza reviews? Just has one, one mouthful. One, one bite of a pizza Just has one mouthful. One bite of a pizza and gives his review. And it's really famous and he goes around the entire country. He goes all over America doing one bite pizza reviews.

And there's an app as well. You can download an app that gives you his feedback. It's a proper cult following. I just don't think a bite is enough to fully review it. I think that's called one bite pizza review though. So I know I'm a bit committed. Could you not do a one bite sandwich review? Me the entire sandwich.

Yeah, just sandwich review. I mean, I could do it. I actually do most sandwiches in, see, I don't want to commit myself to a time because I've back in the marginal end of want to commit myself to a time because I've back in the marginal end of having to actually do this, but I would say two minutes. I'm sure you ate three in the time that I was halfway through one. I think you are on the slow end of eating.

You eat spatio-flavored time. I'm slowly, that's why I'm absolutely normal. This is why whenever we go out for dinner, you always buy a little bit less than you know that you need to eat because you know that you'll still be eating when everyone else has hit their limit of how much they're going to eat and then you go... Is that... If you got any more of that, you're not going to finish... Oh, you sure?

Are you sure? Are you sure? No, are you sure? I had notice that. All the time, it's a fucking tactic. It's strategic. Well, we're going out for dinner on Wednesday. So watch what happens. Watch. He'll get a quarter chicken and then finish mine in your meals. Yeah. There's just very, I very rarely leave it.

Leave anything. Sometimes leave some sources. I'll sometimes overdo it on the sources. Or a dirty affrogata. Okay. So is that M&S, weight rows, some Sainspreys? I go Tesco over say Tesco, Tesco next, then probably Sainspreys, but if you can get into all weight rows, that's why whenever we go anywhere, I'm really excited about the M&S simply food.

Because if you go to like, whether be services, like I would go out of my way, I would go a slower route if it meant going viral. As we went to go and see, bring me the horizon with free ticketed access from the band. You were more excited about the prospect of going via whether be services because you want me to go into the M&S food hall. That was a really nice one. It was good, did well, yeah.

That was a really nice one. I mean, the band were fine, but the MNS and the food and the money. Sandwiches, that's what we're here. The number of Percy Pig variants now as well. They're pushing it too far. They've pushed it back. They've pushed it too far, if anything. Right, back.

You said, you said, come on. It's me. Oh, it's you. It. Right. You said, so, come on. It's me. Oh, it's you. It is you. Do a dollar. No, no, I didn't. I never had one. You're right. I'm about sandwiches.

Yes. I'm happy for sandwich just to be my life act because I really agree with that at an emotional level. This are a level. So I wasn't going to say this one, but this is, it's not really a life hack, it's more just a nice thing that you can also get from MMS. It's Percy Pig themed, which is Percy Pig ice cream, which has better macros. Well, it's lower calorie than what's same ballpark

as Halo top. So it's coming huge huge vats. And it's got like marshmallow and raspberry sauce and vanilla and strawberry ice cream. Like pink and white swirls. White's really the overall flavor. Vanilla and strawberry I would say. So I had, when I snapped my Achilles last year, my friend Adam came around and delivered me something from MMS that was ice cream in a pink tub and it was bright pink. It wasn't swirly, but I swear it was Percy Pig. It wasn't a swirly.

It evolved over time. If I maybe got the wrong type. You'd have felt like the beta Percy pig the shit one Because that was awful. I couldn't even I know it was fucking terrible. I was about to fight you Did it taste like Percy pigs? No, it just tasted it just tasted like frozen sugar Frozen sugar mixed with mixed with strawberry milk. It was awful It's not like broadly I've got a like broadly. I've got a sweet tooth.

I've got a sweet tooth man. I'll tell you if some it's nice when it's sweet and that was fucking shit. But you don't like Halo top do you? Yeah, I'm fine with Halo top. I prefer Muforia. Oh yeah, I mean he doesn't. Ben and Jerry's Muforia. I don't mean that.

Yeah, I mean we could do a life hacks on just sweet foods, I think. Before is brilliant. So you're saying Percy pigs ice cream. So it's like it's a hidden low calorie ice cream is the hack. So you would never assume I'm going to go to MNS and get some Percy pig ice cream. Like you need to think that is going to be this decadent, super high calorie thing. It's actually on par with hair. It doesn't have the protein content, but I don't think that's why you eat in the ice cream in the first place. I have eaten

an entire toe of this stuff before, and it is very mechanically full at the end of this. But like 600 calories. What for a full tub? Yeah. Wow. And it's a bigger tub than Halo Top. It's like, yeah, yeah, it'll be a product bucket. It's like a family serving across multiple weeks. And I was like, that looks like putting. Nice. I think last life hacks, then, if it was back in June, we were getting excited about the iOS update that has live text recognition. So now it's out and it is fantastic. Like it's really, so what what it does is allows you in basically system wide to recognize text in images. So that's known as OCR, optical character recognition, I think. So if you have a photo in your album of text or sign or whatever, you can literally just drag

and select the text as you would with anything, copy it into your notes or whatever. What you can also do is when you're typing, so let's say open up an Apple note while you're listening to this tap on the cursor and like a barcode type image comes up a square with some lines. Press on that and then just hold it over a page in a book and it'll recognize all the text instantly and then you can just tap on the button and it just inserts that entire page as text into your Apple note. I've just done it there and it's put text everywhere. It's a text everywhere. I don't think I use it.

I don't think I would use it either if I'm honest. If you're reading a physical book and you're like, oh, I want to just capture a couple of highlights on notes from that. Yeah, okay. That's not bad, I suppose. That wouldn't, it depends on whether or not you read on Kindle as much because almost everything that I read is electronic now. So that sinks into you.

Yeah. out. So that sinks into you think. Yeah, there's probably, there's probably some very inventive use cases of this feature that like we've not really thought of. I think it lays the ground for some exciting stuff. I'm trying to think about letters and correspondence and stuff like that, but all of that probably just needs a scan. It just needs a Microsoft lens job. He doesn't it, or a certain type of notes, whatever, and just saving down somewhere, receipts are the same. It works for handwriting as well though.

So if you're a student, and you like to handwriting notes, but you're handwriting terrible. Brutal. What it'll convert it into like a notes file into text, text on screen. Yeah. Is there anything that,

because I still use Scable for avenue. Can I? How do I get get like a. I don't know an important offline physical document into app on that. So when you're in when you're on your mark right click and just choose scan document and it activates your phone if it's nearby in scan mode. And you can just hold it over the thing. OK, that's that's ridiculous. There's real life hack. You don't even need to press like, yes, OK, it'll just locate when when there's a page and just send it into your thing on your Mac.

And does it do as a scanable app does where it will like almost like it turns up the contrast and finds the edges and all that stuff here. How do you do that? So right click and say scan documents. You can do it in an email, in a note, and the continuity is just delightful. It's what it's really what logs you within from ever getting like an Android phone. Yeah. Oh my god, it's just interesting. Desperately searching for some documents to scan. Wow. I love how that wasn't even the life hack.

We've just... That's just a bonus hack that came with that. The bonus round. Okay, I've got so many good ones. I don't know what to do. Okay, so this is for anyone that's a freelancer or anyone that does bits of work outside of their main job or someone that just needs to negotiate rates that doesn't have a classic set rate

for whatever it is that they do. So there's always this weird dance that you do, this sort of tango, backward and forward. A client comes to you and says, hey man, or someone's friend, let's say that you design website so that you teach people to play football or whatever someone comes to you and says hey mate, I've got this job. I need you to X what what what what your price for building a website or for doing a weekend course for 15 year olds that want to play football in a team or whatever it is that you do. Coach, someone to get lean for a competition. And there's always this sort of bizarre standoffish backwards and forwards game that you're

playing because you don't know what their budget range is. They don't probably know what yours is unless they're quite familiar with what it is that you do. So getting yourself into the same universe is quite difficult. So you can often pitch your price at that time, something that you think it might be, but you don't want to pitch it so high that they say no, and you don't want to pitch it so low. If they say yes instantly, you immediately feel like you've shaped yourself. So for instance, I did this a few years ago. Someone asked the price for me to do something something and I'd come back with the price and they'd said yes instantly. First hack is if someone says that immediately say plus

that because if they said yes you can easily add 20% 90% to do. That's a very little thing. Someone said yes straight away and you go plus that then you've got 20% on top but you've already undercharged So what you're trying to avoid is the situation where you undercharged so much that the person just comes back So your answer should be What's the budget That's the question that you should ask in response. Hi, mate. Can you do this thing for me? Oh, yeah sure I mean obviously I want to make this work

But it's got to work for both of us like Like, what's the, what's the sort of budget that you guys are trying to hit? They will tend to come back usually around about 10 to 20% below what their actual maximum budget is, so they won't come in with their real budget, but at least you know the ballpark that you're talking about. And if it's 50% of what you usually charge your time out at,

then you say, look, like there's, there's no really conversation to be had here. And if you are talking about that, a lot then you say, look, there's no really conversation to be had here. And if you are talking about that, a lot of the time, especially if it's corporate clients, their budget is way, way higher than your time is actually worth. So by asking them what the budget is, you can usually go to quite easily that, you know exactly what a minimum acceptable price would be, and you can probably push it a little bit more, maybe add some expenses on, job done.

The plus of art thing is morally reprehensible. That's how you get trains, weasers, much extract as much money from someone as possible. I don't think that's the way to do business, Chris. LAUGHTER Oh, plus part. Like... That's what I think to do. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that.

I'm not going to say Yeah. So I'd have to factor in the the more lake of me getting a new one because I don't it's not a for sale. I don't want to have to buy a new one. So I'd have to really wear your on back foot on you because I God, what do I say here? Like

I don't know. 5 pounds. Plus that. Yes, 6 pounds. Yes, now see, you've just made next repound. I don't see how that's Yes. £6. Yes. Now, see, you've just made an extra pound. I don't see how that's morally... I don't want an extra pound. But what you've done there is, like, you've taken advantage of somebody's willingness to just be a simple customer.

No, no, no, no. I've taken... I've offset me undercharging that person. They wouldn't have said yes so quickly. That's your problem for undercharging in the first place. I'm now no longer undercharging them anymore because of that. What about details? I say sorry mate, not got those by the way you're paying it into my personal account. Also not that registered. If the HMRC are listening, that's obviously this entire sequence has been a huge joke.

And dramatized. Yeah. And the company that I'm talking about is now, now, defunct and close down in any case. Nothing to do with Chris. Yo Han, what have you got? Me, me now. This, we've probably, I feel like we've probably said this, but I've had this on my life hacks list for ages. It might be something you both do,

but I'd be interested to hear your answer to it. I feel like the cornerstone of a day, if I feel like I'm on top of stuff, or I'm not on top of stuff, the difference, the thing that I do that like I'm on top of stuff or I'm not on top of stuff, the difference, the thing that I do that helps me feel on top of stuff is empty my omnifocus inbox to zero. So I like throw stuff in it all the time and it just builds and builds and builds and builds. And there'll be like little things that I assume tomorrow I'll empty my inbox and I'll do that thing and it'll take me a couple of minutes and send that message or whatever.

As long as I zero that everything's fine. If I don't zero it, firstly, I lose trust in the whole process. And secondly, I just miss things, things get pushed back. So that the hack is just if you follow any kind of like, GTD, getting things done, capture process, I think that even more important, have it is don't let things fester in your inbox for more than, more than a day.

When you say you're doing that, is that you go through and do the items or you put them into the relevant? Well, that's the schedule. So the process of like if it's a lesson team thing, just do it. So it's like send this message or apply it to this or send this to someone. Or in only focus, which is obviously the best app available, you would put it in the correct project.

So you're like getting out of the inbox. So you're like, okay, this needs to be done this week. I'll allocate it to a day. This needs to be done on a date. This, I need to be reminded about this in a month. It needs to be just putting a project, I'll review it later. But it needs to be like putting the appropriate place. But like, by just going through the inbox, the number, you're underpiling done like eight things. So like little bitty things that you probably wouldn't set time aside to do. But if you have the task of, well, every day has zero it, then you end up doing it anyway.

So is the inverse of this, most bad days occur because of an overflowing inbox of small tasks that haven't been moved into their right places? Yeah, I think just like a, I mean, obviously nothing's different. Like I just haven't done some things, but I think I,

you just feel like you have this mounting list of little bitty stuff that you forget or you're more like to forget stuff and someone tells you something else to do and you already feel behind. If that list is like 30 things, which I mean, I don't even know how I do it, I will easily get 20 or 30 things in that list a day, just from little bits that like someone will say something or get an email and afford it to that or whatever. So do you both do that or not? And if not, why not? So my omnifocus use is less sophisticated than yours. Mine tends to not be, I don't tend to have things that are more than a couple of days out. And if I do, they're just in, so I'll tend to just get tasks and do them as they come, because

most of them are less than two minutes, and the only big things that I need to do are general, weekly, big routine tasks. So I don't usually have big chunks in my inbox that fester, but I certainly notice that when I have a, I haven't done a weekly review, it's an ugly situation down there. Just don't look at it. No. But if I said to you like, for example, Chris, you should watch invasion on Apple TV because you'd really like it.

Should I? And we'll, yeah, we'll talk about that. I don't know. We're going to do a quick round at the end with TV. You should watch invasion in Apple TV. It's brilliant. Would you not put that in Omnipocus? Or would you put it somewhere else? Would you not have a place to put it? Probably, yeah, I probably wouldn't have a place to put it. Stuff that's that recreational doesn't tend to go in Omnipocus. I just have a list of stuff like stuff that people recommend. It was this was you stuff's idea I think. Yeah, I need to put in brackets who who the the Jeff Bezos South Park episode.

Still on my list. Like a boogie movement systems. Yeah. It's my that is my kibuki movement systems that was what started the whole thing because I was like Johnny you need to watch the South Park episode. This was about 18 months ago. Yeah, see what else is I'm gonna from you sir Stue McGill's mental models for success Millennials Simon Sinek Steven Fry on the US versus UK human It's weird hearing these because it's like oh, yeah

Simon Sinek video on millennials is six years old Probably true. Yeah, probably getting it on millennials is six years old. Probably true. Yeah, probably getting older as well. So what's the... You have a picture. The hack is just like, it's a really quick way. If you keep lists, if you use something like OmniFocus, I'll take a take, which I imagine some people listening to,

because how much we talk about it. I think it's like the first life hack that you've said was have a capture process. Yeah. So if you have a capture process, you have a list of stuff that is day every day getting bigger. So if you're using an app like on refocus or I assume tick tick, then there'll be an inbox function. Each day, just have a habit of zeroing it. So either like sort it or just do the thing. And if you start your day like that

within 30 minutes, you've done several things. You've already like built this momentum with really easy stuff. You're already feeling productive and nothing ever really gets up. You don't like forget stuff that you wanted to remember yesterday. That does go a little bit against Do the most important biggest task of the day first, that eat the largest frog that you can. It does. But then, like, how can you know what the largest frog is, if you're not clear on all of the things in the place?

Or this would be where a good end of day process would work. But the number of people that I know who have got mother fucker morning routines and absolute basic bitch evening routines, pretty much it's everyone because your willpower's so low and no one's ever actually got round to it and by the time you get you distracted by whatever and this thing's just happened. So yeah, avoid overwhelm by clearing your capture inbox is how I've noted that. I think it's a good, it is a good one.

Overwhelmed definitely appears in, it's a linear relationship between how much stuff is unsorted in your capture inbox, and how much overwhelm you feel. I think the key side effect of it is you end up just not, you know, you put something in your inbox, you think, well, I'm not gonna look at that for seven days anyway, so you don't trust it very much, which means you use it less

Yeah, that has to be a it has to be time bound a little bit. That has to be pressure. Yeah Like he goes in there. I know I'm going to see it again at some point. Yeah, well, I'm going to look at it tomorrow So as long as I know I'm going to look at tomorrow like I can get trust system and get it out I have trust trust trust system. Yeah, I like that. Cool. Cool. Seth. Where you go We've talked about this off podcast, but I recently bought something which I thought would be really crap. I did a bit of digging, looking at the reviews and stuff and it's actually brilliant, is a Cordy robotic vacuum cleaner. So what this does and looking at all the reviews, there's that because they all look the same and you're like,

okay, are they all similar? Turns out they're not, they have very different levels of power and AI. You explain what this is. So it looks like a disk that just goes around your house and has two little arms that do this. And it vacuums your house and it uses like an AI recognition thing to to bump into walls and make sure it covers the entire room. It's got anti-drop, so if it goes over a step it won't just fall over into the into the kitchen and do that it'll like

it'll make its way around your house systematically. And it's brilliant. Like you can set it on a schedule. So every day when you're out at the house, it just hoovers your whole house. And you come back and you've just got spotlessly vacuumed house. So a few things to consider. First I had a look on AliExpress at the options. And one of them said, has a camera on the front, but data will not be sent to Chinese government. We'll own, you're like, okay, if it's specifying that,

I'd lady doth protest too much. The rumber doth protest too much. So you just like, okay, I think I'll just go Amazon for this one. Maybe not the thing to get from how they express. Two problems that it's had, three problems. One of them is that if you don't empty the bag, it does a poo. So you'll find like it'll just do a little poo in the middle of you living room with all the crap that it's like. Compacted swept up. just do a little poo in the middle of you living room with all the crap that it's like compacted

swept up. If you leave something like a sock or a wire around, it'll get caught on the sock and just completely devour it because it's got these little arms. And then the third thing is if you don't program it properly like I do, like I didn't, is that it started to go on the automatic schedule that four in the morning. And so you can just hear this like faint, you know, when you're half asleep and you can something's waking you up but you're not quite awake enough, and you're just like,

mmm, and then you're like, what's that? And you're kind of in and out of sleep and then you hear something go, and you're like, again, it's your door. And it's just the little thing bumping against you room and then you're like, oh, it's the fuck, it's just the little thing bumping against your room and then you're like, oh, it's the fuck, it's just come off at four in the morning. But then you have

that battle with yourself of like, it'll finish its round soon and I'll let it, it'll go back to sleep because it goes back to its home again. But it didn't for ages and then you sat for the next half an hour like I should have just got up taking it back to it It's put it back in it. It's yeah, why not get a rumble Rumble is good as well, but Cordy seems to be has the best sucking power according to the reviews How often do you need to replace the bag or a Exit the shit up for me in a two a two bedroom house that's carpeted every two rounds of the house

Wow, so pretty frequently Quite frequently, but it's it's like a plastic thing So you just you take it out empty into the bin put it back in. It's very quick And it doesn't like there's no alarm or anything to tell you it's full. It just starts doing poo Yeah Right, you just get to you have to understand the tolerance of how much, how often it needs to be done and then you get to know it. Because your house has a lot of things on the floor, tables and cushions and books and a roller and parallettes and it's got

little red doors and stuff. Yeah, so how does it deal with those? It can it's pretty good at like detecting it maps out where those things are and kind of goes underneath them. I should say as well like there is going to be a point where once you've done three or four rounds of your house that you've dealt with most of the build up of the the stuff and the dust and things so the next few rounds are just top-ups, aren't they? So there's not like you have to empty the bag. So you're suggesting that someone is to front load the amount that they remember goes

and then once you've done that, you dial it back to maintenance levels. Yeah, blasting crews. Yeah, cool. Cool. And it'll be able to go longer without doing a poo. Yep, exactly. What's it called again?

What's the name of it? Mine's a Corde, C-O-R-E-D-Y. C-O-R-E-D-Y. It's about 150 pounds, I think. 4-D. Which, like, if anyone has a price object, I know you guys won't have a price objection to that, but for anyone who's thinking how, I'm not paying 150 quid for a Hoover,

like, if you were to get a house cleaner, what's that? 30, 40 quid per pop, you, like if you were to get a house cleaner, what's that? 30, 40 quid per pop. You only need to use it a few times and you've broken even on it. I mean, that being said, it doesn't do the same job as a house cleaner. A house cleaner will do everything else. This is an area of the job of a house cleaner. It's a little cheaper. What we've got to do is say, okay, the half cleaner does 40 pounds and 40% of that is hoovering. So then you calculate it based on... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So this was something that someone did to me recently, and I thought it was a very

charming way to do an introduction. So a lot of the time you need to reach out to someone, you're not really too sure how to do it, I send them an email, I send them a message, maybe you're contacting them on social media. This only works for slightly less professional things. It can still be to do with jobs or whatever, but it can't work for a proper job application. At send someone a video introduction.

So a guy reached out to me on Twitter and it was just a selfie video of him recorded in his home office saying, hey mate, I really love what you do with the podcast. Just wanted to ask if you would blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Here's the thing, here's the thing, and thank you very much. And just sent that and his email address. And that it and that was all he did and it took me 50 seconds to watch while I was eating a yoghurt or something and it was just done and it really stood out. Sorry, I'm dipped into it on con yoghurt and it really stood out as a quite charming way to do it. An introduction, it's very low input from you as the person. I would still prefer overall a short text message.

I think like a 20 sub-22 read, three sentences or less, but as a change up and as a way to catch attention of someone, maybe it's probably better for catching attention actually than for doing other stuff. If you're trying to maybe reach out to someone that's a little bit above you in the Cloud hierarchy, selfie video, pretty good solution. We've been getting more video, audio, outreach messages from people and people putting more effort into like cold email as well, of like the telebig story and it just takes a while to get to the critical question of like can I delete this or not? Yeah, what do you want? Can I delete this message? Basically, so did the video message work? Yes. Right? Yep. Do you reply to it? Saying, yep, do not, Do not send me videos asking for diet and training advice.

That's what I said. No, it worked. It worked. And we did a thing. It was good. Did a thing. Did a thing? Yeah.

Success. Johnny. It's another niche one. But if you're anyone in the niche, it's a banger of a hack, and it's also time sensitive. So when is this getting released? Probably in a week's time. Okay. So if anybody owns ping golf clubs of anything that is that qualifies, I mean, I got tremendously excited about this and you'll see why they are giving

away for free. This company called Arcos. I sell these things that you screw into the end of your club and it collects loads of data on like all your shots and how far they go and all sort of stuff. They sell for like 250 quid or maybe more than that, like close it at 300 quid. And if you have ping golf clubs, you can get some 4-3 completely for free. And all you do is put the serial number in from your golf club on the website and they send you them for free. Mine just arrived today, fantastic.

So if you're into that sort of thing, if you play golf, you have ping golf clubs. I think you only need like one club that qualifies. You get a full set, you get like 250 quids of the stuff completely for free. Wow, so this is, you've got bar tracker and club head tracker as well. Yeah, so it doesn't quite do the same thing, which is a bit of a shame, but it's like the, I mean, you stuff put it like the version one tech of this sort of thing.

So how many trackers do you get because you've put one pin club in and how many of this sent you? So you get 14, so you get a full bag, so you're on for your puts, one for every club. And then you get an app that tracks it all and makes sense of all data. And what does it do? What's this for? Like clubhead speed and stuff like that? So, so like it'll, let's say you play a whole engulf, you're like T off and you'll take your fire away shot when you write chip and put it knows that all of that's happened So it tracks number of shots. That's that's kind of pointless because you know that it's happened But but it tells you how far each club's gone

It tells you when you hit your driver you 50% of the time it goes slightly left 50% of the time it's on the fairway How does it know where the ball is? Because you have to walk to the ball. Oh, so it GPS is from position two So it picks up like oh, he's hit that club. Now he's walked here. Now he's hit the next club. So log club, I mean, I see you log club one as went this far. It just gives you it gets it then summarise it as here are three things that you're bad at here are three things that you need to double down on after each round.

I just think it's it's the way that like probably all sports will eventually go like smart, smart tech and like gives you data on some of my housemates is a physio for Newcastle Falcons and some of the information that the guys you're like a thing on that GPS thing you see this stuff. No. It plugs a post-git. It's in the back of their shirts. The rugby players playing shirts. They have the same in football as well. And it's a soft tablet-type thing, like a big Bluetooth sort of tracker thing, like that, but it's soft.

And it just is GPSed up, and it says speed, chronic load, GPS position, mileage covered. That's cool. speed, chronic load, GPS position, mileage, covered, all sorts of stuff. I think some of the some of the more advanced ones has got G forces. So for cutting and changing directions, the quickest pace that people have cut and changed. I imagine that can prevent against repeat concussion and huge stuff. It's huge for chronic load, especially in a sport like rugby. Very excited about this stuff. Like, because there's now air pod equivalent that can do heart rate and temperature and GPS stuff and through the workout track stuff through the ear. And it's like, of course, I don't know why we didn't think of that in the

past that you can get a pulse and a temperature from the ear. So yeah, I think we're getting to the point where wearables will be in the stuff that we already use and track. I'll have it in the store. I still maintain that no one has captured the wearables market properly yet. No one's done it properly. I would love to hear if someone thinks, if someone that's listening thinks that they've got the solution,

but it's not the Garmin, whatever version, seven or the version eight that's just come out. I don't think that's that good. The Woop is okay, but it doesn't do everything that you need. The Apple Watch doesn't do everything that you need. No one's got it yet. You know what's going to be awesome about Apple Watch is the glucose tracking, so the 24 hour glucose tracking. But why? Is this in case we start to do carb night again?

This is more like a medical science perspective. I can sort of daily thing, but I asked diabetes consultant, like, what do you think of this supposedly transcutaneous laser glucose tracking in the next generation? Apple watch, is it bullshit? And she was like, actually, it's not. We can quite accurately check the glucose from transcutaneous blood viscosity laser. What percentage of the population are diabetic? Type 1 or type 2? Both of them need to track their glucose

presumably. Type 2 they don't necessarily need to but it would be helpful and type one they definitely do. So, quite significant proportion of people are my problem is. Maybe. Yeah. But if you're thinking this is a very specialized use case. Tracking your blog glucose as an individual or as an athlete is also helpful. Like if you, you know, the Peter O'Tea, Ben Greenfield, people are so big on this. And like, I think Peter O'Rourke has glucose as the primary thing that he tries to optimize. Is that right? What he's bothered about? He's Mr. Glucose. I think it's up there. Glucose isn't as like glute medias. In my Bertha.

I can't wait for someone to get it right. And I'm surprised that Apple hasn't. And because Apple hasn't yet, I don't think it's going to be them. But you said, it might track like track your glucose and all these things, but you still got to plug it in every night. You just really want to do sleep tracking because you can't, you can't worry for long every day. And then when we released a new band and all that does is like a pulse oximeter.

Yes, yeah. The 4.0 and it's the most highly valued wearable in the world. What do you mean? It just got another round of investment on most. Oh, right. See the company. Yeah. That's because they've got a recurring model.

It's so clever. Like, it's just roping people in the monthly recurring. Get yourself a membership company. Yeah. That's because they've got a recurring model. It's so clever. Like, it's just roping people in the monthly recurring. Let's get yourself a membership deal. Yeah. But I just, yeah. Berserk, that isn't it? Berserk that a 25 pounds a month, or 20 pounds a month membership deal can piss all over an 800 quid Garmin watch.

Is that how much they are? The top, top, top end ones, I think, are 600 quid. But it's all just to green lights on your wrist. They're not producing better sensors. It's just what's the algorithm doing with that data. Yeah. And I'm amazed that Apple aren't leading the field with it, because they're in that market. But I think the Apple watch is weak.

I'd quite like Apple to win this, because then it's all just in Apple. I want it to be I think the Apple Watch is weak. I'd quite like Apple to win this because it's all just in Apple. I want it to be part of the Apple infrastructure as well, but I am, I'm saddened by the fact that they've had so many bites at the, what is it, the series seven out now or the series eight? And probably yeah, they've just how many, how many iterations of this product do you need to try and, I don't know. It's push features as well.

It's like, oh, hey, you can get a lead to ECG and a pulse oxymeter and you're like, well, okay, but I don't really care about those variables. Like, I want to be a fucking sleep. It still doesn't annoy me every time I get a message and it goes, and buzzes in your wrist. Like I turn all the notifications off on my phone. So like straight away, all those benefits go.

Yes. I just, I want to be able to wear it for seven days that I'm in. Plug it in. There are some of the new collarders show me one of his new garments that he doesn't need to, I think he charges it once every 10 days. And that's pretty, he uses the screen looks a little bit

like a backlit ink type thing. So the advantage with theink is that it doesn't use any energy unless it's changing. So it sets the screen and then leaves it and sets the screen and leaves it, which is much more energy. That's why Kindle's last for months rather than for days. But yeah, that's our boss pin club tracker Yep. Yes. Cool. Cool. Seth, what you got? Interesting. This is another physical one from our good friend, Robbie.

So he recommended to me that if you're having a, let's say you're working in a annoying organization where you're always trying to deal with mistakes from payroll or HR or something like that. And then HS. For example, you know, and you, and, and, and you know, that, that's so you've been underpaid for months and months and you, you know, and so you're on the phone and you're trying to get something sorted and then the person goes, oh yeah, fine. Like we'll, we'll get this done and you'll, you'll get this paid on the 20th and you go, okay cool. And then you don't hear back from them and then the email on the 20th and you're like,

I've not heard anything and then they go, well we can't see any record of it and you go, no, we set it on the phone and you have, you have all just all this nonsense stuff. He says, as soon as you have a phone call, you don't need to get them to confirm it in writing. Sometimes you ask them, I can you just send me an email and confirm it in writing and they don't. He said, you can just send them an email that says, hey, thanks for the chat, as discussed, blah blah blah, 0.1.2.3, brilliant. Unless they then go back and say, no, I didn't say that, then you've got it in writing. It leaves the onus back on you to do that. So it's a bit more protection. I like the idea of providing more protection,

but I still think that there's enough slippage in there for a company to get out. There's culpable deniability. There might be, I don't know, nothing by miles. Yeah. And I'm also not sure where the law stands on you like recording calls and things like I do it unless you tell someone that you're doing it. For trading or as purposes. For training and quality purposes. Yeah, exactly. So what would this be? Send a summary email of of has discussed. Yeah, of course, as discussed. That's such an RC fucking way to start an email, isn't it?

No one's ever received a good email that starts with, starts with, discuss. Pataining to the aforementioned conversation around the, OK, this one, so I'm going to text, I'm not sure if I've mentioned, so I'm going to Texas I'm not sure if I've mentioned but I'm going to Texas and this is such a fucking good way to do it a lot of the time You arrive somewhere realize that they don't have the same plug that you do and that you don't have enough converter plugs You just need one converter plug and a multi socket to take with you so I now have a 8-gang

5 meter multi socket that lives in my suitcase. One of those and then you just need a single converter and that's eight plugs that you can use. I bet someone listening to this will message in and say that that is not a safe thing to do. I've done it for ages. It doesn't mean it's safe. I've not had any problems. I don't know what you're talking about. I've not encountered an end of one here has brought scientists his way through all of these issues.

It's just a bit of plastic. I don't understand what the problem is. I'm sure there's something to do with like the US socket isn't earthed. Well, there's only two pins, yeah. Yeah. And your work doing is overloading that connection. I'd love someone to comment if they're watching the video or something on. Is it when you have like a multi socket and the fuse is only, is for the whole thing

and not for every individual one. So if you put five kettles on it, it won't blow the fuse of the mains, but it could be unsafely drawing too much power from the whole unit. So just remember, I have this memory that at uni that was like really strict on multi-sockets, and particularly for things like kettles,

and so I don't know what you're planning on plugging into it Chris. So I need to I need to be able to power this. So I need to take what you see in front of you to America inside of a suitcase. In front of you. In front of you. Yeah. The rest of us can see your bedroom. If you're going to take that and plug all of that in. That's going to be difficult. Yeah. So I need to take what you see in front of you. Yeah. What I see in front of me. What you're going to take that and plug all of that in, that's going to be difficult. Yeah. So I need to tell you what you see in front of you. What I see in front of me, what you see lighting me behind what you're looking from is what you can see. It's the sound Harris meditation. Isn't it like turn the eye around on itself? Notice that awareness itself actually actually completely disappears. So led to LED panels, a laptop, a USB sound interface, a

double USB dummy battery for the camera, another hair light, a snidey version of the Philips Hue, because I wasn't going to fly my Phil Phillips Hue out with me to do some sort of teal thing behind me. That's pretty much it's going to it's going to at least be five or six. Oh, Andy, um, laptop as well. Under toaster. And the toaster and the two kettles that I always boil at all times. And like a really unsafe cheap filament heater. Yeah, one of those oil radiators that's got the two switches on, yeah, it's a glass of water that you keep spilling. Yeah, and the hairdryer. So that's, what I mean, if I burn the Airbnb that I'm staying in down, you'll know why. As will the entire internet, they'll know why.

Dean can take that as an edit, put it as a real. Yeah, he'll make it as a real. That can be my obituary. Christ. I've got more, but have you, we on to Netflix for you boys yet? I've got quite a few things for Netflix here. Okay. Have you got any more normal ones or? I have one, but it's quite fresh for me, but I think it's quite a...

Hit it. I was just talking about it. So Greg Knuckles is a very well-known guy in the strength... Fighting world. ...fighting world. Not in the fighting world. I think he's a powerlifter, but he runs our current name as website. But anyway, he's just released a new app called macro factor,

which is going on head to head with like the My Fitness Pals, etc. And it has some really cool features on it, such as being able to describe in a sentence what you eat eight for a meal and it estimates the The calories of it using AI Natural language recognition some some sort of machine learning thing Holy shit, this is like Siri for food. I think so. I've never actually tried it, but um and And it's all they've also just added all of the UK barcode database to it. So it does cool stuff like plans, like tells you how much food to eat. Like if you plug in your weight and what you eat every day,

it just does the rest for you. And there's a, I think, a seven day trial. Like real. I'm not trying it. Macro factor loads. It loads of people in there, like, they're fitness world at the moment of trying and raising about it. And I think like, as you probably know Chris, like, well, I think maybe you're the same. None of us are that keen on my fitness pile really. But

if you're going to try and track your diet, there's not much out there that's really that great. It's funny. My fitness pile video conferencing apps and wearables are three things where like there is a kind of lesser of all the evils that we use but reluctantly and it's where I'm also so close so close to being really good but no ones come out and gone like this is this is how it should be done. This seems pretty close. So I mean I've only tried it for I've only entered a couple of days of information, but especially if the natural language thing works That's crazy. That's proper Stephen Wolfram shit. Yes So AI describe just describe your meal by text or voice. Oh, right. I'm just gonna get it now

Because hey Siri, I just ate four bags of raisins and anonkan yoghurt. You are over on your sodium for today. Stop, please stop now, now, now, now. That was untimely tots, their fruit pastas. Okay, so I typed in like eight ounce steak and chips, and it's estimated, the portion of chips and steak and entered it. Give me, give me a meal. Two chicken breasts. Rice.

Broccoli. C'mon, C'mon, C'mon. Nando's sauce. A fresh egg. A fresh egg. Not an old one. No, yeah, it must be fresh. There we are. Let's see what happens. And a fresh egg. How to break the AI feature. I mean, it's done at all. It's done at all. So teacher teacher can breast, one cup of rice, one flour of broccoli, some sauce, and a large egg.

That's pretty fucking great. That's so cool, isn't it? That's very cool. That's very cool. That's very cool. Because didn't it, my fitness pal, wasn't it that you could take a photo of your food and it would try and do the same? So I think that was just a team of people looking at the photo. You're kidding me. I remember hearing that. I don't know whether that's right or not. But that is...

This is like that story about those online casinos where the women are strapped to the desks and they're forced to deal cards until they fall asleep and there's all those videos of them being dragged off the set. You've seen this? That's the same level of conspiracy that you're talking about here. You know that my fitness pal, take a photo of your food thing. Yeah, they've got loads of people cheering to the desk and they're just have to identify loads of food. I've tried to overworked guy looking at pictures being like, yeah, it's about that. Everyone of Mac. I'm miles 10 10 10.

I've typed in big greasy pizza low. Yeah, I've broken it. All right. So Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. All right, so I think MacroFactor on slice of pizza, but it's still giving me an entry for pizza and it didn't think it was funny MacroFactor has so much potential What you got? So I've got three

Do you want all three or should I pick one and save two? Save them for the next one. Yeah, exactly Okay, so do you want a physical or a digital? Johnny, what do you want? I want a physical or a digital Johnny what you want? I want a digital Meteor matrix is Service that has a calendar API for weather very cool, so you can

Subscribe to a calendar for your city and it just enters it as an all-day event in your calendar with little emojis based on what the weather is going to be. So if you use your calendar as a day planner, it's got the weather in there too. My only, I love the idea of it. My only issue with it is how far off the weather forecast is all the time to the extent that it's, you just can't place any reliance on it. Oh do I see? Yeah. I mean, you mean whether forecast in general, not the genetics. Yeah, yeah, yeah, in general. But I suppose like it's, but that's not, that's not a problem with your experience. Does this not mean that you've got fucking millions and millions of appointments on your

calendar that are all tiny little emojis? It's a one day event. Also, it's not like, it doesn't give you the breakdown of the day. It's just the day. It's the entire day. So you have one emoji for a 24 hour period. So it's like an all day, an all day appointment

at the top of IKAL. Yes. And it would be like a cloud. Yeah. That's fucking horse shit. Because you want time breakdown? What? Say how you really feel Chris.

Chris is upset because I called as the hack morally reprehensible. This is my thing. This is fucking payback time. That's shit. That's, that's, it's shit. Explain. I don't want to know what the aggregate of all of today's weather is going to be. I don't want to know what the weather is going to be at the moment that I required to know the weather.

That's why the weather changes throughout the day. It's like, say, oh, what's the temperature going to be next year? I don't fucking care. I want to know what the temperature is going to be at the time that I require it. Even if it's not accurate. Well, if it's not accurate, then what's the point of any of this discussion? Well, yeah, this is it. I could do that. I could get someone, I could get someone, a three-year-old to just randomly hit keys on a keyboard and go, oh, it's going to be QAV Batman symbol today. Fantastic. Better wear my coat.

For a three-year-old, you just send three-year-old outside, you go, hey, three-year-olds, can you go outside to tell me if it's cold or not? That is the same level of accuracy that you're getting by putting an emoji at the top of your eye, Carl. So I have to admit, I did it for a few days, and I disabled it. Yeah.

Hang on, are you potentially trying to infect an entire thousands and thousands of people? You're going to try and infect them with something that you've already decided wasn't worth your time to keep hold of. I'm parming off my life hack. Yeah. So what's this life hack that people want to avoid? If they want to make sure that they avoid it, what's it called? That's why I'm not really defending it that hard because I'm like, well, yeah. I see Chris's point of like if that's so the emoji is rain, what do you do with that information? Because if you look at it's not raining, then immediately the emoji is not curious.

Well, yeah, but it depends if you're like, oh, I'm planning a walk today. But then what you would want to look at is like, well, when is it going to rain? And where? Yeah. What's this? What's this? It's called Metiomatics. How do I spell that? Meti, E-O-Matics. The sentence like QAV Batman symbol, I better wear my coat. Brogant. Okay. Final one. So this was from a three-minute Monday newslight at the other day.

In fact, it was from today's one, which is, I'll send a car. So I stole this from James Smith's manager, who I've worked with for 15, 16 years. And he was saying that a lot of the time, let's say that you're trying to get someone to do a favor for you, maybe you're trying to get someone to come on to your podcast, or you want someone to attend an event that you've got going on or whatever it might be, they're just not sure they're on the fence and you need to just push them over the line. If you just tell them that you'll send a car for them, that usually gets them past the final hurdle. So I do. Well, no, so in London, he would say an Addison Lee, which is an Uber with a man wearing a tie. But anywhere

else, you could do probably an Uber exec or something else, but I'll send, I'll send a car for you. Don't worry, we'll send a car for you. It's just, it flatters people enough. It removes any of the inconvenience around transport. Am I going to have to get the tube or a train or something else? You know, especially if it was going to be perhaps a long journey, a couple of hours or whatever that you're needing to get someone to go for. If you say that you'll send a car for them, it's probably going to cost, I don't know, a hundred quid an hour to get the car ish. Let's say something like that But you've locked in this person to do the thing that you need them for now

Obviously, they need to be adding more value than that, but I'll send a car as a good hack The last time I was in a new bit was with Chris and the driver Got very upset that I hadn't entered McDonald's as the destination. And Chris was very sure that he wanted to go to McDonald's. Yes, of course. So, like, I've never really looked into the Uber app before, but there's a lot of stuff you can do. Yeah, stop off at different donut destinations. Yeah, it's and you obviously handle it. Like, I see, did you get to McDonald's? I ended up at McDonald's, yeah. Drive through. Yeah, yeah, it's I obviously handle it like I see did you get some McDonald's ended up at McDonald's? Yeah

Drive through yeah, job done. Where's he go? Nine chicken nuggets. They do boxes him of six nine and 20 now nine chicken nuggets Student cheeseburger because they never check A large Macchicken sandwich extra volume meal with Diet Coke and a crunchy McClure. Yeah, because you get a free cheeseburger. That's a hell of a meal. That's a big meal, that Chris. So you've got a meal and then some chicken nuggets on the side and then extra cheeseburger and then putting.

Yes. Something I love about the fact that if you're in full-time education, you need a cheeseburger. That's by design. And also the number nine chicken nuggets. I bet a lot of thought it's gone into that. A lot of maths. Yeah. No thought, just analysis. Yeah. Lots of split testing. Yeah. Not eight, not ten. It is upsetting. The jump from nine to twenty is too big of a jump. There should have been something in between, in my opinion. But nine is six was two few. Six was always two few. Always been two few. Yeah. I think nine's kind of. I think it's all right because you could get 12, 18. Okay. Give you options. Yeah. I didn't really thought about you don't look. I don't look at them as like, well, I could get multiple. I could get more of the six option. Well, this is a

sitting down in fucking coop and you try and to get three quarters of a chicken all over again, isn't it? But if I change one thing about the world, like leave the world better place, it'll be to get coop to put three quarters of a chicken on them any. Like, well, if you get full, you're getting the whole chicken on you. So if you get some of your chicken, no, no, no, no, you're misunderstanding me. What I would like you to bring me is to imagine a whole chicken. I take out a bit of that. If that were to be removed and given to somebody else, what I'd like is the rest of that

brought to mind. What remains is my to be mine. Okay. To get me on some kind of like where I go. What do you have to press? What do you have to be? I get popped off with like the bits that I already want. Don't you have to have to go. Ghost pepper sauce. Remember when you ate that sauce that we had to sign a waiver before you had it? Yeah. I think you handled it really well. You were sweet. Yeah. You're completely unflopped by the whole thing. I didn't feel it. It was a strong sauce. That's the touch in you, though, isn't it? The scoval points. It's the the dispassion that Kaira driver in me that justips the water straight base. So it's the school shooter in you that

holds the handgun with the other hand down by its side. So for reference, for people listening, this source, the the Scoville unit system is based on if you have one drop of this source in X amount of water, can you still taste the chili? And then it's based on the number of units of water that you add to it. Tabasco is 9,000 Scoville units. This source that Johnny and Chris made me get and sign the disclaimer for is 15 million Scoville units. So it's orders of magnitude hotter that Tabasco, it was brutal.

He honestly, he would unfaith it. It's like when Chris got you the rain effus overproof road. The rate like eight and rum and you sipped it. Yeah, you sipped it. No, I said, yeah, it's quite strong. I'm going to have to, you knowpped it. No, I'm sexy. Yeah, it's quite strong. I'm gonna have to you know like very so And then you got something with honey. This is my fate. Something I've got to watch act Daniel's honey. That was delicious. Yeah, that's really nice. That is quite nice. Right, should we do some Netflix and stuff that we've been watching? Yes. Yes, please. Yo Han. That's me. Well, I'll start with what I suggested to you. So this is on Apple TV and it's an Apple TV original. But if you have an Apple device, I think we're on a year's

free trial of it or something, crazy. It's called invasion. And you can just tell that they have, so you can just tell that Apple are desperately trying to get involved in the streaming world because everything they put out there is so much money on to it, like the production level. So it's basically a view on what would happen if we were invaded by aliens and they were hostile and it plays out with multiple multiple storylines across like there's a souljourner, there's a family, there's an astronaut, it's like four episodes in, it comes out every Friday, really really good. Is this one Tom Hanks?

No, but that's also an Apple original that's just come out, but yeah it's called innovation I think, but I think with your kind of space interest Chris, I think you should like it.. But I think with your kind of space interest, Chris, I think you should like it. Nice. I mean, I think everybody will like it. Well, it'll be on the Snyder Amazon Fire Stick that I absolutely don't have. Yeah, if you were to have it.

If I was to have it, this would definitely be on it. You, Seth, have you watched anything since we last spoke? I actually have, but I'm trying to, frantically trying to Google the name of it. Oh, there we go. That doesn't look like the right name. Let me come back to the name of that. But the other two that I have seen

are a film called Quiet Place. Oh, yeah. It's like a horror, right? Yeah. Is it with the Biong Wifehands pulled on? No, that was Bird Box. Is that what it's called? Bird Box, really.

With that Hollywood- Sounder Bullock. Yeah, that was Bird Box. A Quiet Place. So Quiet Place, very good idea, very well executed in this two films. I think they're coming out of the third one. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I can't give away too much of the story because it gives it away, but...

Quite old, right? I was in it the first one. Yeah, it is. In fact, it doesn't give it away because it's revealed within quite a short time that there's these creatures on earth that if you make a noise they run over and kill you. Right. The other one was a Korean zombie film. I can't for the life of me remember the name. It's based in like ancient Asia. There's a series based on it. If it's not ringing any bells, we'll come back to it. The other one,

I saw, is the Superman film. The Superman film. Okay. So not the 1978 one. How old is this? This is from 2016ish. Okay. Very good. With Henry Cavill, Cable. He once went into, he came into the physiotherapists that I was in, human garage in LA, as I was leaving. Oh, really? You were like, I wrote, and that's a Superman. Is he quite big? I'm actually. He's very big. Yeah, it's funny, actually. He's a huge difference between like the old Chris, Christopher Reeves, Superman, where now he looks like a triathlete, like a guy who does recreational lifter, and now the modern Superman is just absolutely swole. Just the accepted physics, the kind of drift over the last few decades of what's considered

the Superman physique. I think that's in bigger, stronger and faster. The Chris Bell film where he like shows like, yeah, he man and like, action man like over the years. Yeah, what they look like now versus really. Everyone has been on a very, very high dose of testosterone Yeah, yeah, big old cycle. Yeah, did I tell you? Did I tell you about the boys? Yeah Just finished season two of the boys. I tried I tried the first 30 minutes of it. Oh, dude. Give it give it another give it another crack So I've just finished season two and it was fucking amazing

So if I've already talked about the boys That's been the majority of my watching succession is I've watched the first episode of that after your suggestion. We must have done an episode Yeah, we did a catch up. Oh, we did a catch up because I've now seen Squid Game all Squid Game Okay, I'll be watching you kin. Did I bring up kin? Oh? Kin is fucking awesome. So it's, I want to say HBO production, pretty sure to HBO production, set in Ireland, so then Ireland, and it's about this gangster family.

It's very similar to gangs of London. Right. Very similar. Very, very similar to that. Slightly less slick. A little bit, who's the gentleman and snatch and stuff? Who's that? Go Richie.

Yeah, I was about to say Lionel Richie. It's a lot less Lionel Richie. But it's still the same nasty gangs fighting turf wars. It's kin, kin, just what it's you'll love it. K-I-N. K-I-N. It's got little finger from Game of Thrones in it. Oh, wow.

It's got the casts pretty legit. Yeah. Awesome. What else have you been watching? Anything else? I watched something that started off as being like a... I had like, I don't know, I was like, did a bit of work. I wanted something kind of like background on and it started off as being fairly chill like a documentary thing. Ended up being like one of the most harrowing things I've ever seen

called, it's on Amazon called just that sentence Dave not coming back That's what it's called okay, so it's about a These like guys find These guys could do like deep dives down like really long so tunnel networks and goes deep as they can like hundreds of meters down recreationally, yeah, and they did this dive and saw a body, came back up and committed to like, and we're going to go back in two years time and go, we're going to go get that body and retrieve it and bring it back up to the surface. So there's this huge like operation about how they're going to film it and how they're going to, how they're going to carry a body up there. Because once you've gone that deep,

go, you go down in like 40 minutes, but coming back up is a 12 hour process with all the like to avoid the bends. And what you see this bit on the trailers, this isn't spoiling it, but basically Dave is the guy who goes to get the body. And halfway through a guy shows you just a white ball that just says,

Dave not coming back on it. And it's all filmed. It's all this footage of it all happening. And this is real. It's back on it and it's all filmed, it's all, there's footage of it all happening. It's real. It's all real and it's just like, it's underwater caves. Yeah. So they're in like big diving equipment like oxygen tanks. Horrible. But so claustrophobic. And like it's there's there's actual footage of very like, yeah. So wasn't you that got us to watch that one about the guy that was lost his lifeline off the bottom of the sub right?

Yeah. Last breath. Yeah. Yeah. That was terrifying as well. But this I thought was going to be like, because I quite like stuff like that, like extreme stuff, documentaries, thought it was going to be a really easy chill watch. And I ended up having to like, shut my laptop and like, focus on it. And then I just watched it and used to sit there being like, well, in terms, that was awful. But it's good watch. Well, I mean, those kids went missing in Thailand in Changri,

and then someone made a device to retrieve them and Elon must call them a Pido. Yeah, because he was making one classic Elon. He didn't say SpaceX made like a Tesla made something to go and get them. Oh, that was it and then the diver said that's not going to work. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Sorry. Have you seen what Elon Musk's just done a couple of days ago? Paul. Yes. Do you see this, Johnny? No, I've not seen it.

Need to spend more time on Twitter. Elon Musk did a tweet that said, people keep on talking about how, because most of his wealth is tied up in stock for Tesla and stuff, accusing him of tax evasion. So he said, I'm just going to dump 10% of my Amazon stock. Does will that contribute to, will you be happy if I do that for tax reasons? Yes, no. No, he's got those of Amazon stock. At Amazon stock. Sorry. Tesla stock. Tesla stock. Right. Yes, no. And he replies to his own tweet and says whatever the outcome of this poll is, I'll go with it.

And it ends up being, I think, 57% yes. 20 billion. Surely, that's got it. Is that, that must be illegal. Well, you can dump whatever he wants. Yeah, but yeah, I see what you mean, is it a marketing manipulation if the people choose... He's not on the board anymore, is he? He's in charge.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he's looked into it. Maybe. Probably got a lot of people advising him. He also changed his name on Twitter to Lord Edge. Edge Lord. his name on Twitter to Lord Edge. Edge Lord. What is an Edge Lord? It's someone who posts really extreme memes

and it's a bit of a troll and piss taker and... Okay. Like, I think I can't even fit him. Yeah, Lord Edge. Lord Edge, Lord with an E. I really like him. As long as I don't hold any Tesla stock, I can try liking it. So that's kind of what I mean.

It feels like he's taking the piss with people who get the moves, the stop price, and people get stopped out and lose loads of money. And it's just always big. It's a big coin a couple of months ago. Did he? Yeah. Single handedly. He began the, he stopped the bull run, or at least he was one of the things that

happened that caused it to go from 61 down to 29. And now it's back to 63 or something. It's like when he, you know, like tweets saying like Tesla's overvalued, in my opinion, whatever, you're like tweets saying like Tesla's overvalued in my opinion, whatever. You're like, come on man, like the founder and you're saying stuff like that. Move markets with a Twitter account. Yeah. Terrifying.
