Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guests today are Johnny and Yusuf from propanefitness.com, and they're joining me for another life hacks episode, so you can sit back and enjoy as we run through our favourite tools, apps, websites, strategies and resources for a productive and deficient life. Expect to learn why I've become fully obsessed with my new bike desk.

Starting point is 00:00:29 new pressure cooker, Apple's fantastic new iPhone background sounds feature, and much more. Don't forget that you might be listening but not subscribed, and that means that you will miss upcoming episodes when they go live, so go to Spotify and press follow, it's in the middle of the screen or in the plus button in the top right hand corner of Apple podcasts. It supports the show, it makes me very happy indeed and it means that you're not going to miss episodes when they go up. Ah, thank you. But now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Please welcome Johnny and Yusef. In case people at home are wondering why I'm in an unfamiliar setting, many of you may not have seen me here before. This is my house in Newcastle and this is the studio that probably 350 or 400 episodes of the podcast has been done in.

Starting point is 00:01:33 And I'm back for Johnny's wedding this week. So, flown back from America, survived the flight, all went well. And I'm here. So, the next few episodes that you're going to see will be with me in this kind of surroundings. Also, if you're not familiar with life hacks, it's been a little while since we did one. This was the first ever series that we did on the show and it's continued, now this will be like the 20th episode. We do a little round table. We've come up with how to make a great toasted sandwich or a new exercise desk or whatever else we get into and then one of them puts it forward to suggest so that they think it's a great idea. Then the other two either tear it to pieces or immediately go on Amazon and buy it. So if there's anything that you like the sound of that we go through today, there'll be links to all of the stuff that we

Starting point is 00:02:15 talk about in the show notes below and that's pretty much it. Anything I missed? Just that normally what happens at this point is you Hot potato me and I have to say the first one. Well, it's interesting because I did actually bring a potato Which you'll find if you open an i-message. There is a potato in there. Johnny Please give us your first life hack. I'm spoiling hot. Yeah, it is it's microwaved Almost so hot that I'm tempted to throw it back, but I'll I'll keep a hold of it channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel.

Starting point is 00:02:50 I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I've been subscribed to the channel. I don't know whether you two get this. Yeah. Yeah. Not loads, but maybe not Chris because Chris is just

Starting point is 00:03:09 ageless. Always beautiful. Benjamin, but so there's a there's this brand that's been like over and over and over again and I've just been ground down over time. It's called Lumin. Have you seen this before? No. You haven't seen it. Wow. It's so weird, isn't it? Because in my world, I was, yeah, I haven't seen it. It's like, every day. So it's like, they try and get you on a subscription, but they have this cool thing where you go onto that website, you answer some questions. Because it's something that you've said to me before Chris, like, use a moisturizer and

Starting point is 00:03:40 all this sort of stuff, and I don't really put any effort into it. I kind of want to, but I don't really know where to begin, and it all looks really expensive and quite intimidating. So you go through and go through that question error, they ask you questions about your skin types and all that sort of stuff. And then they just send you a little kit with those little tubs in that are really like aesthetic and nice and they smell nice and they feel nice. And I've been using those for a while. And I think they send the same set of little tubs. I don't want to think about that. I don't want to think about that.

Starting point is 00:04:05 In case you're trying to say that the quiz, the entire quiz is just a show, and everyone receives the same bundle of products. That it's all just a facade. So make you feel like you're getting a really nice customized medical. It's all just a sort of crem. Sort of crem very forms.

Starting point is 00:04:18 Black, sort of crem. Size tubs. So what's your current skincare routine then? How long have you got? That's not that complicated. So there's a there's like a face wash like a charcoal face wash. Why charcoals in it? I don't know, but it it feels like it's great and like there's some secret mechanism to that charcoal face wash There's a anti-aging moisturizer and then there's a charcoal scrub

Starting point is 00:04:43 This is starting to sound like the opening scene of American Psycho. This is a charcoal scrub that you use like a couple of times a week, which does have this weird way of just taking the first layer of your skin off. So that feels a bit strange. So it's those three things and you rotate them. And there's different packs that you get sent depending on your skin type and the, like, the sort of skin you have, like, the way they've had spots or things like that in the past. So I found it pretty good. I've enjoyed the experience. I think I'm probably gonna get it again.

Starting point is 00:05:12 Good question. It varies. So it varies depending on the pack you get. But it's also in dollars, but like 30 to 50 dollars for a set that they say will last you for a month, but you can stretch that out. Like I missed days.

Starting point is 00:05:26 I'm not. You're supposed to use it twice a day. I don't use it twice a day. No, twice a day. I know. I feel excessive. They also have the next video on the channel. Hey guys, welcome back to my channel.

Starting point is 00:05:37 But don't forget to like and subscribe. I'm going to go through my five step morning routine with my skincare as an entrepreneur. That's what I could see you doing. There'll probably now be an ad in wireless videos happening. If you're on YouTube, that's the Lumen ads. You just click on that. I believe it's L-U-M-I-N. Got you. Because Lumen, is that not the metabolism breath-filizer thing?

Starting point is 00:06:05 Correct. Parall perilously close. So that's what I thought you were on about at first. Oh, man, I said it ages ago, every person needs, you probably need something more than just a moisturizer, but the sooner that you can start moisturizing, I think the better. Find one that works with your skin and just uses it. Hey, I'm down, I will check it out.

Starting point is 00:06:23 You, Seth, What have you got? I would love to show you this one, but I didn't touch any of the equipment around me. It would be perilous to do that, because I have a grounding issue, and it could cause the camera to turn off. But I have, well, had an alcove in my room. A little niche, you could call it, of wall that I had a bar in there

Starting point is 00:06:48 and hanging some clothes and a pile of kind of mismatched drawers and that kind of thing. Thinking, there's no way that I'm going to be able to get a wardrobe that fits exactly that. And then I found the IKEA custom wardrobe service. So you can book in like a Zoom call with someone in an IKEA outfit, Swedish with like a blurred background and their ears colored in with crayon. And they just talk you through measurements and they build you a wardrobe custom to the space

Starting point is 00:07:22 and you can choose what type of storage you want in it. So now it's added a lot of perceived space to my room because it's got mirrored door and it's incredible. Just feel the room just feels so much less stressful. For clarity, you were on a Skype call, a resume call with a person from IKEA with a tape measure and they were coaching you through how to measure the wall. This happened. Yeah. Do they do anything else apart from just like get this tape measure and hold one end of it and is there more to it than that?

Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, so they say, hello, my name is Klammer. I am calling from IKEA. Can you please tell me the width, depth and height of your thing? Okay, here's the, and they get a digital mockup and they share screen and they go like, okay, would you like draws up to here and how many, have you got lots of trousers or have you got lots of jackets and they help you to design a custom thing? That's a free shirt.

Starting point is 00:08:19 It's pretty cheap. Free shirt, well, obviously you pay for the wardrobe. Yes. You're paying for the wardrobe. The machine in the way is free. Yeah, is the wardrobe more expensive? I presume it is. It was about 550 pounds in total. Yes, that's a as as wardrobes go, that's pretty expensive. It's probably cheap for a custom fit wardrobe though. Yeah,

Starting point is 00:08:48 oh, yeah, like it depends on the lens. You look at it through, isn't it? But yeah, maybe more than I was expecting, but it sounds like you're very, very happy with it. Which I think I think the mirrored doors are what adds to the price, like if you got a pain doors, it would be like 300 quid. Got you. And what's that called? IKEA custom? What? How do people get it? 300 quid. Got you. And what's that called? IKEA custom. What? How do people get it? I think if you just search IKEA custom wardrobe, packs is what it's called PAX. All right. Lovely. Do they do other custom stuff? Yeah, do. That's all storage solutions. It's pretty nice. Right. This one has been requested an awful lot because I made the error of bringing up a product on an episode with Bellagy and then I didn't describe precisely which one it was which

Starting point is 00:09:34 sent people into a tailspin. So this is my new cycling desk which I got after learning a lot about zone two cardio and the benefits of zone two, zone two being pretty gentle for most people, 110 to maybe 135 BPM heart rate stuff. Could hold a conversation with a little bit of breathing in between, basically, that's where that's where zone two is. And recievement is a huge fan of it. You need to be doing between 120 and 180 minutes per week.

Starting point is 00:10:04 If you can, it is train slow to run fast. Is the strategy behind it that it helps you to train in an aerobic base, which then gives you more of a ceiling until you need to go anaerobic, all the sort of stuff. Problem is that it's on to succs dick. It is such an unbelievably boring way to train. Unless you're into like trail running or kind of aggressive hiking, it's actually quite difficult to find a pace on your feet

Starting point is 00:10:30 to move at that because it's not a jog. A jog is gonna, at least for me, is gonna put me into the 140s, but a walk is gonna keep me around about 100. So I'm in this kind of dead zone in between the two. It's also supposed to be very good. I mean, you guys can probably stress test this once I'm done. Really good for fat loss, apparently, if you were to continue to do it. Anyway, I was talking to some of the boys in the autistic degenerates group chat

Starting point is 00:10:55 I've got from Austin and asking their solutions for it. And a bunch of them had treadmill desks that you can slide underneath. One of the problems that you have there is that you're moving up and down, which actually makes it a little bit more difficult to type. It's good for calls if you've got a lot of conferencing, apart from the fact that you're obviously walking, which is a bit of a dick move to the other person. At long story short, I spent an entire evening very, very carefully analyzing the difference between every different cycling desk that I could find on Amazon. And I ended up finding yourself down like a weird rabbit hole of the internet. Like, how did I get here? Oh, dude, I was looking at the difference between the exoputic exowork 2000i and the 1000i. So the one that I ended up going for

Starting point is 00:11:38 was the Bluetooth folding exercise desk by 24 workout programs and a three app. That being said, it's one of my favorite purchases of this year. It is absolutely fantastic. The particular one that I went for is a little bit more chunky, it's a little bit more well built than the one that was below it. Unfortunately, the fact that it's got Bluetooth, that's what it's sold on, but what you actually want to buy it for is it's got a bigger backrest, it's got a bigger seat, they've got this really special airflow seat thing. A lot of the criticisms of the other ones were that after half an hour it was very

Starting point is 00:12:14 painful on your bum, so I wanted one that I knew I could do a long session on. Obviously, if you're trying to accumulate 180 minutes on something per week, that's a good bit of time sat on something, if it's uncomfortable it's going to suck. It's a magnetic drive so it's completely silent when you're turning over so if you are on calls or if you're doing anything else, no one can hear. On top of that the magnetic resistance, which is linked to your phone because everything needs Bluetooth including your exercise desk, the magnetic resistance if you turn it up to level 24, which is the highest it goes, is like a 10% gradient. It is unbelievably hard.

Starting point is 00:12:49 There's no way you could work whilst doing that. It's like a max effort, RPE 8 cycle. Long story short, it links in with your woop strap, so it'll broadcast your heart rate from your woop strap to the app and track distance calories. All of that stuff linked in with this, it'll give you totally total calories burned and total time spent on the bike per week. It'll give you that in the app as well. So I'm actually quite glad that I did get the one with Bluetooth. And I think in a week, last week, I ended up accumulating 3,000 calories burned Last week I ended up accumulating 3,000 calories burned just while I was sat, turning over, answering emails, taking a few calls. I do find it quite hard to do anything more cognitively demanding than scheduling and simple email replies.

Starting point is 00:13:37 Even a slightly complex phone call where I'm having to do a bit of cognition is a bit much. But all in all, really, really happy with it. It was $350. So the one that I'm talking about is the only one that you could get. I think you can only get this in America, which is unfortunate. There is an equivalent one in the UK,

Starting point is 00:13:59 which has a backrest to it as well. And I bought my dad that for his birthday. It was the closest one that I could get. There's only one in the UK that has a backrest. That's the one to go for. Main reason being that you've got a slightly more sort of rather than an upright seated position, you're a little bit more sat back. You know, like those, the ones that you'll get in a David Lloyd's gym and the foot pedals are away from you and you kind of sat down in his handles either side. It's a little bit more like that. If you want to get

Starting point is 00:14:24 more zone two cardio in or if you spend a lot of time working from home and you kind of sat down in this handle side to side. It's a little bit more like that. If you want to get more zone two cardio in, or if you spend a lot of time working from home and you want to get a bit more calorie expenditure, the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty.

Starting point is 00:14:36 So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty.

Starting point is 00:14:44 So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty. So the extra puberty, drying rack in your house. So it's great to know that it doesn't interrupt calls and because you write like zone two is very hard to achieve on your feet because it's kind of an uphill walk. And you you can't really design a route where you're only walking uphill and that you live in Edinburgh where it's like an Escher painting and everything's uphill. So yeah, it's I I think I'm gonna go. I'm sold, yeah, I'm sold on one. Yeah, honestly, I, it's rare because you're totally right. It's the sort of thing that you would end up looking at, researching, getting excited about buying and then going, fuck, you shouldn't have got that.

Starting point is 00:15:20 But it kind of, the only way that this could go wrong is if it's not sufficiently comfortable or if there was some issue with the biomechanics of how it fits your particular frame. Well, when the ad Bluetooth is like, oh, it's got the wrong Bluetooth version and it can't connect to the thing. Yeah, even with that, they have foolproof that as well because there's an LCD screen that allows you to do that. Now, it might be worth everybody emailing

Starting point is 00:15:47 exaputexelwork and seeing if they'll ship to the UK because that is the world's the pressure. Yeah, that being said though, the version that I got my dad was 120 quid. So 120 pounds for this and it's got the top and you've got a wrist rest so that you can actually lean on it a little bit while you're working away. And what's it missing? The blue teeth piece.

Starting point is 00:16:11 It's basically completely different. It's the same looking construction, but I can't vouch for the seat quality, I can't vouch for the build, I can't vouch for most of the stuff. I think 120 quid drops it into a level where you buy it and if it doesn't work, it's like not like, oh god, where it, you know, so I'm moving towards 500 quid, it starts to get like a, you better use it. The honest, I'm surprised it was the, the low side of 500 quid, I thought it would be in the thousands.

Starting point is 00:16:38 Which makes me worried because I think 120 quid is it going to be rickety? Like, could you be halfway through an email and you just fall off. I think it's just not the demand for them yet. Yeah, I bet in in the couple well after this episode is a little. Well, there'll be a link I'll try I'll find the one for the UK that I got my dad and I'll put that in the show notes and I'll put the exaputexel work 2000i and I'll throw that in the in the show notes as well but yeah, I'm put the email address of the founders. So that we can all have them. So you can harass them.

Starting point is 00:17:09 I think if you can't find one, or if you end up finding that the version that you get is uncomfortable, the general rule of some form of exercise, bike, treadmill, thing, at your desk for doing work in. It makes emails. I genuinely look forward to doing my emails

Starting point is 00:17:29 because I get two amounts of satisfaction off the other side of it. I'm like, yeah, I gotta do 60 minutes of sitting down and replying to people, but I'm gonna burn 400 calories, maybe 450 calories in that hour. Pretty good, pretty bloody. It's kind of a nice way to batch it as well, right? It's like you've created the time and as you're just going to cycle

Starting point is 00:17:49 indefinitely, like, back when you stopped, like by the time I stopped cycling, I should have cleared my emails. Yep. Quite a nice rule to have. Pretty good. Right. Yo Han, what you got? Right. I've never seen you that excited about a life hack, by the way. It's in. This is my favorite list. This is my favorite list that I've once that I've never seen you that excited about a life hack, by the way. This is my favorite list. This is my favorite list that I've once that I've done. Okay. Mine just feels so shit in comparison.

Starting point is 00:18:10 But here we go. Bring it in. Bring it in. So this is surreal, serial. So it is a serial brand called surreal SU R E A L. Now there's loads of these cropping up now. Like when I first found these, it's because Tim Ferris mentions a brand at the start of his podcast. I did for a while, I can't remember the name of it. It's like a low calorie. Yes. Low calorie, low carb. Technically, I think keto-friendly.

Starting point is 00:18:37 Serial. A lot of big names behind it. And I was like, that sounds class. You look at it. It's very nice. You can only get it, or you can only get it in the US. The ship internationally now, but it's kind of, it's, well, that sounds class. You look very nice. It's very nice. You can only get it in the US. The ship internationally now, but it's kind of, it's quite pricey. Yeah. So this stuff's not cheap either.

Starting point is 00:18:52 But this at the time was the only brand in the UK that I could find that was reasonably priced that looked nice. So I ordered like, I think older like eight boxes. Yeah. It's really like, it's the same sort of thing as like a grenade bar right a grenade bar to a Mars bar. You can kind of tell that it's higher in protein and lower in sugar and all that sort of stuff. But if you're mixing it with things like a kovarg like a white chocolate pudding thing whatever what are they? It's not pudding. It's not yogurt. So you know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:19:26 Or into something, it's just great, because it's the crunch of cereal without the calories of cereal. And I really enjoy it. So what are the best flavors that you got? So there is one which is I think peanut butter, which obviously I couldn't get. Otherwise I would have

Starting point is 00:19:45 had to go to hospital. So I tried chocolate, which is not that nice. Normally my rule is always get chocolate flavor because it's always flavored with chocolate, not in this case. The like the sugar, like the frosted one is the nicest one by far in a way. So like the frosty's equivalent. I don't really know what it's, I don't get, it's not coated with sugar, but it's coated with something it tastes like sugar. So it's great. Good enough for me. So real. So real. Well, the I would like to just highlight this little nugget of wisdom that Johnny has just dropped on the side there of always go for chocolate flavor, rather than something mad.

Starting point is 00:20:25 I think it's been a previous life hack. Yeah, I think it is possibly because flavoured with the chocolate, probably except if it's some kind of health product where they, they try and Jimmy it by saying it's low carb or whatever, because then they'll end up using like carob extracts rather than actual cocoa. Funnily enough, I think there's no cocoa in the exactly as you called it. In the chocolate. Yeah. Well, I mean, I think anything now, the food industry is catching up to what bros have been gery rigging for the last decade and a half. You know, when

Starting point is 00:21:01 you'd make protein pancakes, but they would be awful because you would have just poured some impact away over the top of pancakes and gone, well, this, this surely can't make any difference. And they come out and it tastes terrible and it looks terrible and the consistency is awful and it's all powdery and stuff. But yeah, I mean, magic spoon, I've had that a good bit in America and high protein cereal. Here's the other thing as well that I loved about it. It's not just the high protein, high protein things good, but it's the reduction in the amount of sugar and carbs that you get in it. Because I find the sort of size of bowl of cereal that I imagine you eat, Jonathan, will be similar to the ones that mean you stuff do, which is an industrial-sized bowl. And the product of 30 grams of it? Yeah, is? Yeah. Yeah, who eats, that's completely insane.

Starting point is 00:21:46 When you do that, I get usually about an hour afterward. I get a bit of a slump. I can feel information going a little bit and I get that sort of tingly feeling around the, and I'm just like, ah, my sugar's like my blood sugar. I imagine your forearms look like they're at our best.

Starting point is 00:22:00 Yeah, very turgid. You set my suit for Johnny's wedding is having to get sized up exclusively because it doesn't fit on the forearms. If you literally have forearms, I was trying to... I was trying to pinch a centimeter of material and I couldn't do it. I couldn't get anything, like the skin of a balloon. We've described it as one of the old watersnakes that used to get from the pound shop. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:23 Right, it's a real cereal. Is there the most be some sort of discount intro-y scenario? Is there? I'm not sure. I can have a look. I don't think there is. Someone will be able to snide. Go on the website.

Starting point is 00:22:36 I'm sure you'll be able to snide it. Right. You, so far you got. So I've actually been doing some thinking about the way that I broadly categorise life hacks. And I've kind of landed on a categorisation system that's basically physical and digital. So I've given you a physical one. What follows is a digital? Is it Alfred? So it is to amplify a website.

Starting point is 00:23:04 So we've probably done this, the three of us, but most people don't know that if there's a website that you frequently visit and you'd prefer, and it's got mobile-friendly, but you'd prefer to be able to access it from your home screen, press the little share button, which looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it, or it'll look like a phallic symbol if you're using Android. And you can then say add to home screen, and it'll generate what's functionally an app on your home screen.

Starting point is 00:23:33 So it always happens to go into Safari and find the thing or press on your favorites. So we do that with our program that we teach coaches to package their services online with. And you can do it with any website. I'm writing thinking at least on iPhone it displays in a different way as well. It goes into kind of a full screen and more full screen mode, I think. Yeah, it doesn't show the address bar, so it just gives you a clean experience. Yeah, so I mean, if you use a website for coaching, what your coach sends you for programming and stuff like that, I mean, everybody needs to be used, and I'm pretty sure that that

Starting point is 00:24:14 was exactly what I used to use it for. Before ROM 1 had an app, I remember that I was using that for the precise same thing. It's just like a bookmark, see, frequently you visit, it's such a simple way of having them on your home screen. Yeah, even if you wasn't the increased screen size just the ease of access hitting the home screen. Yeah, that is nice. Right, okay, so this was sent in by Eric Jorgensen, the guy that wrote the Navalman Act, and you guys may be familiar with this. Pro tip, if you cancel your Zoom subscription, they'll offer you 30% off your renewal price immediately. It didn't know that.

Starting point is 00:24:55 Takes 30 seconds. I'm not sure how I feel about that as a business model, because they're then rewarding, but well, they're penalizing loyal customers, aren't they? Um, retention's the name of the game, baby. You know, this collects the claims. I wonder how, I wonder how long we'll keep that running for.

Starting point is 00:25:15 Maybe, well, I mean, something tells me that even the volume of people that are going to go and try and cancel the Zoom subscription after this is going to be a dent in. Do you remember during the pandemic when in the Chinese, a Chinese company called Zoom, their stock price increased by 150% due to people buying the wrong Zoom company? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Incredible.

Starting point is 00:25:38 That would have been a scary moment for the CEO and the board members. For walking out. I remember hearing scary moment for the CEO and the board members. For all you know. I remember hearing a similar thing with Deliveroo's new where you could like, I never did this for this claimer, but you could, I think someone on this podcast will be about it. When the delivery arrived, you could say one of the items were available in the order. If it was under 50 pounds, they would instantly give you your money back without investigating. James, who used to work for us, this still works, by the way. James

Starting point is 00:26:13 who worked for us, cycled between delivery and Uber Eats using the exact same thing, ordering lunch off one dinner off the other when it arrived something's wrong with my order what's wrong Items are missing which items all items make sure that his order was under 50 pounds and they would just instantly refund him He's now banned from deliver roof for life. He can't they won't give him an account stealing from restaurants anymore Because it comes off. I'm pretty sure deliver who just pay it straight out But yeah, he accumulated weeks and weeks and weeks of food doing this. Philip steak for lunch. Yes, correct. Yes. I imagine Deliveroo pay the restaurant. It'll be Deliveroo that's losing out.

Starting point is 00:26:55 Yes, I would have thought. So I think. But yeah, if you go to cancel your Zoom subscription, Deloff you 30% off your annual price and it takes 30 seconds. Thank you, Eric. Johnny. Is you? That was me. Oh, no know that was you. Yes. Goodness me. So this one, I didn't think was a hack, but I've mentioned it to a few people and each person I mentioned it to hadn't heard of it. So I'm hoping I don't get absolutely shot down with this. So if you have Amazon Prime and you order something which is next day delivery, once you've ordered it,

Starting point is 00:27:30 you can go into orders, like my orders, the order, and then select, just change it from free next day to free rush shipping. And then it just arrives a couple of hours later instead of the following day. So there are certain things that come, they just have the availability for no extra charge to just arrive before 10pm. Is that no?

Starting point is 00:27:53 I always feel like when before editing the order. You can do it after ordering. Sometimes it's available before editing. Yes. And there are some things where it'll say before 10pm. But on quite a few things, if there's next day available, there is also a rush available. So I have things around. There's like a red clacks and light, like the panic button that goes off in the warehouses when someone does that. And I go, quick, and the guy runs over and stuff into his pocket and gets on his scooter and flies over to your house.

Starting point is 00:28:27 I've had stuff delivered from Amazon using this process that it arrived in less time than it would have taken me to go out to a shop and buy and come back to house. What's the quickest? That something's arrived, do you think, from order to arrival? Within 90 minutes. That's for food-based things. So I had a bag of coffee beans delivered 90 minutes after I ordered them. Wow. So you two clearly didn't know about that.

Starting point is 00:28:52 So I'm, that's a big one. Like I use that all the time. Really? It's so good. Yeah. Well, when do you order stuff that you need within hours? It's little, it's little things like um, battery, whiteboard pens, batteries, golf balls. Yeah, like things that things that I'm like I really could do with those by tomorrow morning I know don't need to wait till tomorrow morning. I'm gonna buy a tempi today America has Some of that they don't call it Russia over there But where you can designate a time today join it from from seven until 11, 11 until three or three until seven today.

Starting point is 00:29:29 And that's that's pretty enjoyable on Amazon. Yeah. I'm still waiting for Drone delivery. There's so in Austin at the moment, there are these little robot fridges. It looks like a little robot fridge. Are there some in the UK? Have these been around? Milton Keynes. Right. Yeah. So it's a little robot that's got's something in the UK. Have these been around you? Milton Keynes.

Starting point is 00:29:50 Right. Yeah, so it's a little robot that's got food in it. It does food delivery and it stops at the side of roads and waits for traffic to go by and the light to change in it. Just delivers your food. Anytime, Amazon. No, no, no, there's something else. Some other service. Amazon, do you have those shops where like there's no staff in the shop and you go in? As you go. Yeah, you go in, just picks up up and it knows what you picked up and it bills you. I feel really uncomfortable, wouldn't it? There's a bunch of videos online trying to shoplift in Amazon, go. Like both going in in the same time or something like that.

Starting point is 00:30:20 I haven't seen them. I've just seen them pop up on my right free rush shipping after ordering on Amazon Prime Dude I like that especially if it's especially if it's not available so The saving money thing is is good, but if it's not available when you go on and yet it is available upon editing That's a genuine hack. This is why for the people whose first life hacks This is this is what we're here for. It's the peak artist, backend, like it only works in one millionth of a times, like operation and yet we're very excited about it.

Starting point is 00:30:56 This is why we do. What you guys don't see is the thousands of life hacks that didn't make it to this table. Like if you think all the failed stuff. If you think these are shit, imagine how bad the ones that didn't get on here are. It's the things that were too embarrassed to bring up. Yes, it's so weird. That's the real life hacks list. The Viagra Hammer that didn't work. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah, after I was list. Right, you said what you got? This is one that I originally was made aware of by Tim Ferriss' mate who loves foiling and goes on to his podcast and talks to him about foiling for three hours. I forgot his name. So it's actually based on a modality of psychotherapy known as internal family systems. And the idea is that you are not a single personality, a single unit of consciousness. You are multiple subpersonalities that are frozen in time at different stages of your life, depending on what happened

Starting point is 00:31:53 in your life, and they run certain scripts in response to stimuli that you're exposed to. And so they have different roles in your psyche, and they are to protect you or to keep you safe or happy or whatever it is. And so it's a technique for if your mind is rushing and you're lying in bed for example and you've got loads of stuff going on is to do the board member exercise, the board room.

Starting point is 00:32:22 So you imagine that you are at the head of a table, you're sat at the boardroom, you're wearing the suit, and then there's loads of different versions of you sat around the table. And these versions of you represent different domains of your life. So you could have the finance version of you that's got the accountant's hat and the cigar, and you've got the fitness version of you that's in the gym shark sort of cute onesie thing, and you've got the fitness version of you that's in the gym shark, sort of cute onesie thing, and you've got the work version of you that's in your work gear, and all these different things. And you just go around the table and you say, right, everyone else shut up. You tell me what's on your mind.

Starting point is 00:32:57 You've got five minutes. Everyone has to stop and listen. And then you let them speak. And then when they're done, you go, okay, you finished? Yeah. Brilliant. Move on to the next one. And just work your way around. And it sounds silly, but it is the most relaxing thing that you could do because you squeeze the lemon of all these like little voices that are trying to be heard in your mind, but aren't being given the full airtime. And afterwards your mind is so quiet.

Starting point is 00:33:25 You're just like, oh, and it lasts for like the last time I did it, I think I had probably about 48 hours of deep quiet afterwards. Well, it's not a daily thing. You wouldn't do it every day. Or would you? Yeah, you can't do. It depends on deep you want to go. You mentioned that this is a good technique for when your mind is feeling a bit of overwhelm

Starting point is 00:33:49 specifically. Yeah, very good for that. But I think the ultimate use case is if you're, you know, when you're lying in bed and for some reason or you feel like you've had too much caffeine or whatever and your mind's just going, you can't even make sense of all the voices. And I think people are afraid of this kind of technique because they think, oh, well, I've not got multiple personality disorder, I'm not psychotic.

Starting point is 00:34:13 But I think if you can just accept that, just humor the voices inside for a moment, and don't worry about that as a thing. I do want to highlight upfront that past performance may not be an indicator of future profits with someone like UCF because of the amount of time that he's spent meditating. I do feel like all of this Sedona method that you've done, releasing different strategies, I think that this probably enables you to maybe get disproportionate returns. Possibly, yeah, you have to, it does require concentration. And there is also a sense of like, you've got to just kind of,

Starting point is 00:34:57 like when you start doing it, you'll be like, oh, this is silly. I'm just making it up here. But that's okay. Because if you make it up, like, it's what comes to mind, came to mind for a reason, so that's still valid. How many sessions did you need to do before it didn't feel silly? To be honest, on the first one, because I was just like, I'm just going to commit to the method. So just dive in, dig and pause, and you'll be okay. Very nice.

Starting point is 00:35:23 I'm going to give that a go on my desk. That's exciting. Oh, one of the one final thing, how do you choose who sits around the table? That's a good question. I think it's the key domains of your life or like you could just stop and listen as an open listening and be like, okay,

Starting point is 00:35:40 who's what are the main voices? And then if someone else wants to join as well, you can be like, oh yeah, sorry, we've got about you. You can join the table too. Just a safety announcement as well, like if you've got a history of psychosis or if you feel like there's going to be some traumatic stuff that's bubbled up, then do this under the guidance of a psychotherapist in a safe environment. It's nearly been a year since you were working as a doctor and yet the medical practitioner still emerged. Still coming up.

Starting point is 00:36:08 Still coming up. When required, yeah, cool. Okay, so I've been flying in awful lots recently, which is good. I love adventures and COVID was terrible for that. Obviously, I gave a life hack, I think, on the last one, which was gate, is it D3? In Amsterdam Airport, is the only gate, which has seats that don't have bars in between the seats, so you can go and have a lie down if you're stuck. That is a brilliant life hack. Yep, that's what we hear for peak autism. Now, there's two here that I'm going to piece together. Reason being, I have been completely fucked in the ass a number of times by the slow

Starting point is 00:36:46 resurgence of capacity within flights. However, the unwillingness of airlines to reduce down the number of flights that they send out. So this is just causing delays across America. Anybody that's flown cross country within America knows exactly what I'm talking about. Flight to being delayed, then they do have some pretty intense weather, which can cause some really huge problems. Apparently, the main two issues, first one's pilots, but the second one is the crew of

Starting point is 00:37:12 people, the luggage loaders. There is just nowhere near enough staff to deal with the volume. People want to go back on holiday, but you can't just create the staff to give the capacity for people to go back on holiday, but you can't just create the staff to give the capacity for people to go on holiday. So my first piece of advice, when looking at flights, especially through a site like Sky Scanner, which everybody should be using, it's at least the beginning to have a look at it, reduce the number of connections that you have in order to stop delays. So a lot of the time you can't go direct, but sometimes you can make a choice between one and two connections.

Starting point is 00:37:46 Now, the one connection may end up being a little bit longer, a little bit shorter. My flight back to Austin is five minutes longer, despite the fact that it has one fewer connection when I return than the version that I did on the way back. The problem being, the more flights that you rely on, the greater likelihood there is of you encountering one of those being delayed,

Starting point is 00:38:05 which has a knock on effect to miss the remainder. Really, really bad idea. So just by reducing that down, you reduce your exposure to different flights. Like, let's say there's a 10% chance of the flight being delayed. If you go for two instead of three, that's a good idea. This also ties in with another one, which is super important for flying internationally. And I'm using for America specifically pick flights, which immigrate at your destination. If you pick a flight, which enters the country and then you have a connecting flight from that airport onward, American immigration specifically is an absolute pain in the ass. And you will wait and no one is going to help. You're not going to get to the front of the line because your flight leaves in two hours. That's not the way that it works.

Starting point is 00:38:48 You will wait and there will be a very grumpy looking African-American woman who does not care about the fact that you need to leave to get to Miami or whatever it is. So those two things, obviously you want to optimize for what the best time of departure and what's the price. And if I have upgrades or if I want to get upgrades and stuff, but I think reduce connections to avoid delays and pick flights which immigrate at the city destination that you're going to, even if you arrive just after a huge flight got in from Houston or something like that, it doesn't matter.

Starting point is 00:39:22 You're at the back of the queue. Yeah, it's going to suck. But the degree of anxiety that you have whilst yeah, it's going to suck, but the degree of anxiety that you have whilst wondering, am I going to miss my next flight to get to the next place? And then the downstream impact of that, especially if you're going on holiday, you're only on holiday for seven days or something, and you end up staying over another day. Yeah, those are important. That's a really good application of the broader principle of like don't expect everything to go smoothly according to plan because if you line up all of your dominoes assuming that

Starting point is 00:39:50 it's going to go absolutely textbook, like the same as the reason that Johnny and I are always late is because we fall file to this. We assume that there'll be no traffic on the roads and because once we made it from our house into the center of town in seven minutes. It's considered that journey. No, it's not. On average, it's a 14 minute journey. Johnny, what are your tips? Good tips. So I, well, because Chris keeps sort of not

Starting point is 00:40:21 to give me to go back onto it, keep using a whip band. Yeah. And I've been back on a whip, I don't know how long I've been using it for, but I'm always looking for things that improve my sleep basically just because that is, I'm sure we've all experienced the night and day difference. When you're a good night of sleep.

Starting point is 00:40:39 I think when you've tested them a couple of years ago, I bought some blue-locking glasses, some of the really extreme ones like the wrap around, red, not orange, seemed really extreme, got nothing out of them. You didn't know it's any difference, not no changing wop, wop data. Then red a lot of stuff online, and Yusuf mentioned about, there we go, about, so this might be upsetting for you, Chris. Chris, you've got something that actually look nice rather than yeah, it's a proper So you you said chat to a guy who runs a company that makes these things and knows a lot about them

Starting point is 00:41:14 And was talking about how many of these products are just red plastic and don't actually block blue light So I then bought some some proper ones and looked into like how do you validate whether these are legit or not because you put them on and they kind of seem different. There's a few tests you can do if you Google it, there's a few tests you can do where you look at images on screens and it'll tell you like this should look like this. If it's blocking the blue light, this should look gray, this should look dark. The ones that are actually blue-blocking glasses make such a difference. It's unbelievable. Like, 10 minutes after putting them on, I can feel

Starting point is 00:41:50 this down regulation and whoops, like, 10% increase in RAM when I wear them. So getting some proper... So annoying to know that you've been wasting time with the other ones, isn't it? Stuff that's pointless. Walking around the house, looking like an idiot, back at making fun of me, and they're just not even doing anything anyway. But now, it's going to be mad to you soon, man. Once that's the case, you can just get a cane out, can't you? Well, then I walked around in the full biohacking equipment. Yeah, like Ben Greenfield.

Starting point is 00:42:18 All the stuff. Half tape. Red glasses on. What brands did you end up going for Johnny? It's the you said those the name of it. I can't remember the so the brand is called block blue light and I can I can vouch so I've got a kettle that has blue LEDs when you turn it on and it's it's bright when you have the glasses on you can't tell if the kettle's on or not like it's that powerful so yeah these are if block blue light don't look right to you, these are raw optics, are a optics, unbi-gakal mat maruka, who's also been on the show previously. They do these,

Starting point is 00:42:51 which are the yellows, and they also do a red pair. I mean, these are $300. So they're, they hopefully they block blue light. He's massive. Matt's at the forefront of all of this sort of light and stuff. That being said, Andrew Cuban optimologists at Stanford and stuff, he is pretty adamant that blue blocking glasses will maybe net you small increases, but compared with making sure you get sufficient sunlight throughout the day, including early morning light and ideally someone in the evening, that's your macros and training and wearing blue blocking glasses on a nighttime is optimizing the creatine dose. So making sure you're getting sufficient sunlight exposure

Starting point is 00:43:35 because one of the things that happens, especially in the winter time I learned, if people spend most of their day in dark rooms looking at screens, their sensitivity to light generally gets tuned up because they haven't seen any outdoor light. So what you want to try and do is get it to the stage where your screen on an evening is a small percentage of the light that's been viewed throughout the day. At least that's how I thought it seemed to be explained to me.

Starting point is 00:44:00 So as in, you should just use fewer screens. You should get more exposure today, like working front of a large window, ideally where you can open it at least a little bit because there's certain types of light that gets filtered through that. Yeah. I mean, in the morning, like since I've heard the Andrew Heubin advice on that, it's such basic things like just go for a walk first thing in the morning. 15 minutes, that's it. Makes such a difference. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:25 The glasses for me is like a, because in the evening, I imagine you two are probably the same. Like, I don't really read a book. I'll sit and watch TV generally. Like, we'll sit and watch a series or something. And I don't really want to stop that. Yeah. So this was a way of like, kind of not making, I don't quite feel as bad about it.

Starting point is 00:44:44 I can still do it. It doesn't seem to impact my sleep. Well, I think a big part of it, at least I would maybe guess 5% of the 10% improvement that you see will be from the story that you tell yourself about what watching TV on an evening time means and how guilty in the expectation effect, but the problem is the expectation effect so robust you can't get around it by not, you're expecting it. So you need to do a thing that you are sufficiently bought into in order to be able to believe that it actually works. It's just a shame that the original ones that were far cheaper that actually didn't

Starting point is 00:45:17 block the light, didn't give me that game. Like they clearly gave me a bit of that. I suppose maybe I had a couple nights where it didn't really help, and I lost my trust in these. Seth. But yeah. Digital one. So there's a browser extension called Hush. There's another one called Stop the Madness depending on your preference.

Starting point is 00:45:40 Both of them stop the internet from being so annoying to use. You know, when you go on a website and there's like five pop-ups, you have to accept the cookies, but you can't just accept or reject. You have to go into the sub settings and say, no, no, reject or whatever. And then there's like another thing.

Starting point is 00:45:55 And then you can't click on this because there's another Google ad pop-up. And it just gets rid of all the noise and just allows you to see what you want to see on a website. And the guy who's designed it is clearly developed it out of pure fury using annoying websites. And he's really, the guy who wrote Stop the Madness is really committed to his mission. So blocks ads, basically, or like any industry. It's not just ads, it's all the surrounding stuff.

Starting point is 00:46:24 So you know Tom Scott, he these like a nerdy British guy, you will have seen him, he's always like, this is the most dangerous crossing in the UK. And I'm out here in Lancashire and this has been 34 collisions. So he does all these kind of like documentary stuff, but he's got a very good video about why the internet has become so annoying to use.

Starting point is 00:46:44 And a lot of it to do with GDPR and additional regulation that's not really practical. Pop-ups and interruptions and that sort of thing. That's interesting that in order to protect users' data, they've had to make the user experience significantly worse. Yeah, it's a weird trade-off, isn't it? Yeah. Okay, so Hush, I'll stop the madness extension for Chrome, right? This is one that turned into two that turned into three, and they're all about Spotify. So first up is share Spotify podcasts with the timestamp. Have you seen this yet? No, no. Not that new. So Christian Hoar sent this in about a year ago. And I never got around to using it. And yet now it's the same as copy a video at URL at time from YouTube. You

Starting point is 00:47:40 go on to the user proper share function on Spotify for a podcast. You press the share thing and it'll come up. And if you are playing part way into it, it'll say either share or you can toggle a slider to the side and say share from time. It means that if you're listening to a section on a podcast that you absolutely adore, you don't need to screen record it and then try and send someone the screen recording and send them that link. It'll open up in Spotify in app from WhatsApp or I message or whatever, and it'll open at the exact timestamp

Starting point is 00:48:07 that you're talking about. So, I mean, that's brilliant. Just great. This is what podcasts are missing, because they're not a social feature, and I think adding in, but like, I know there's a few apps that like, SNIPT and things that are starting to try

Starting point is 00:48:20 and make a podcast social again, but I'm glad that it's become a native feature as well. Frankly, I think that audio just continues. When it comes to the virality, they just continue to get eaten alive by video. When you can consume the same content, when people can share a video clip of one of the hacks that we're talking about here that has the video, how is it going to, it's literally just going to be out competed by the audio of those and it's always going to get eaten alive by that. So that's the first one. The second one is

Starting point is 00:48:49 Spotify for podcasts generally, which has been an ongoing discussion between the three of us for forever. We all listen to a lot of podcasts. I think me and Johnny were very much team Apple podcasts for a long time. It was native. It allowed a bunch of different Apple podcasts for a long time. It was native. It allowed a bunch of different subscriptions. It had pop-ups and notifications that were well done. You had an increased number of options through Siri. However, I am of the opinion that Spotify is the daddy, the king daddy. Here we go. Which I know. So this is a repeat. This is why I was happy to do three in a row because I know that you've already brought this up probably two years ago. But in fairness though, like whenever I can, I will always do my damnedest to stay within the Apple ecosystem and I'll

Starting point is 00:49:34 try and use Apple notes, Apple calendar and Apple reminders. And it's only when Apple make it so difficult to stay within that like Apple music and Apple Apple Podcasts, they're just rubbish, like, I tried. And it's just like, more people. We're over here. Don't forget, we do this, we do this for a living. More people are going to be listening to this right now on Apple Podcasts than on Spotify,

Starting point is 00:49:57 but every month, the... Not even. Not even. Well, I would love to bring people over. But the proportion of people listening unsportifies increasing. Month to month, I think that shows like Call of Dady and Rogan have obviously been a big part of,

Starting point is 00:50:11 and it was such a smart move, behaviorally let's change people by forcing them onto the app. And then we need to, obviously, they had to make sure that the actual app itself was sufficiently good, but it was. I mean, what are the things that I really like? I don't like the fact that you don't have a feed of most recently updated episodes that

Starting point is 00:50:29 stood in a very easy way. That was a great element that Apple podcasts have that I hope Spotify brings across where you could just see all of the shows that have most recently uploaded and then you can decide, oh, which one would I like to get from here? It would be great if they limited the notifications. I don't want to be notified every time that Memphis may fire releases a new song, but I do want to be notified every time that perhaps certain podcasts upload maybe ones that don't have a regular upload schedule like Rogan perhaps, you know, if it's every Monday Thursday or Saturday, you know, there's a modern wisdom episode, but you might Rogan just sort of throws them at the wall. So like that would be cool if you could select particular artists or podcasts and shows. But generally, I think they're not without talking too much inside baseball. They've bought anchor, they've bought megaphone, they've got the Spotify advertisers network. They've got a bunch of things where they've reversed vertically integrated and forward vertically integrated themselves into publishing, into buying podcasts outright.

Starting point is 00:51:23 vertically integrated and forward vertically integrated themselves into publishing, into buying podcasts outright. And I think that unless Apple do something really, really, really impressive, very quickly, I think. Well, aggressive. Yes. Because I think Apple are always trying to like kick Spotify off, aren't they? Yes. Well, they had that, wasn't it Spotify, did an entire campaign about how Apple was making it uncompetitive for them. You couldn't use Siri and you couldn't use a bunch of other stuff. Well, if you buy a new phone, yeah, that's so annoying. But the Spotify experience in general, like take podcasts away from it, just for music, their playlists that has covered weekly, the release radar,

Starting point is 00:51:57 the like collection of the annual review they give you where they like tell you what you played. Or your rap. Yeah. Like I have years, like going back to like 2050 and it's like my best of music of each year. Like what a great feature. I didn't even make it. They just made it for me. Let me give you my final bit for Spotify here.

Starting point is 00:52:13 So you may or may not have seen this. I use my liked songs quite frequently. Main reason being that those, because I'm continuing to update them as I go, they tend to be sort of the ones that I'm obsessing over right now. And even if I'm listening to an entire album, there may be people who want to sing from within that album that I love. Now, if you go into your liked songs on Spotify,

Starting point is 00:52:34 you will see that there is a little tab at the very top that says, Enhance. And if you press Enhance, it will add into the playlist, of which is completely chronological, it'll just throw in every other song or every two or three songs, songs that it thinks you should have liked, songs that you're listening to frequently, songs that you probably would have liked already. And then you have to... Is that release radar turbo? Discover weekly turbo? Kind of, I guess. I don't use release radar or discover weekly. So I think that release

Starting point is 00:53:07 radar and discover weekly will probably be songs that you're not yet familiar with. This liked songs thing is resurfacing songs that you're continuing to play quite frequently, but haven't yet liked. And sure enough, you can go through and you can press, I think it's like left swipe left or right and it either likes it and keeps it in or you can get rid of it because it's it You didn't mean to like it and it wasn't supposed to be there Every single one every single song that they've put in on enhanced liked songs playlist has ended up getting a heart I'm like why why isn't why isn't you Luke Coombs first track on his album not in there? I'm listening to that all of the time so enhanced liked songs and it's one thing it makes you feel so predictable when it's like a dummy.

Starting point is 00:53:48 Yeah, you got me again. There's an extension from that which is quite similar which is if you have a playlist that you've made, you can use playlist radio. Have you used that before? Yep. So that's a finishing album as well, right? Yeah, it's a bit of a fault, but you can force it. So if you go under like your favorite's playlist or whatever, or like a best of it in the year, it will then just generate things that are similar to it. This is why it's so good. And then it's good for podcasts as well.

Starting point is 00:54:15 Difficult to be, man. It's such a good app. I can't see me ever leaving it. Yeah, nice. Well, so that you can't, that's the problem. So although they complain Apple and anti-competitive, they are anti-competitive in that you can't export your podcast selection to another app.

Starting point is 00:54:29 So once you're in Spotify, good luck getting out. So the ones that you subscribe to. That they make it awkward from like an ex, you can't export XML or whatever over the things that you've subscribed to or songs that you've liked. Maybe they've changed it recently.

Starting point is 00:54:43 There's like third party apps that will like plug into your Spotify and extract the data, but they make it natively quite hard. I think that that's probably a relatively small use case for people that are using a VLC media player custom MP3. Traffinone. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's just if you want to leave Spotify. you want to use a different if you were using Spotify and you Wanted to go to Apple you have to go and manually subscribe to everything. You can want to do that. The only people I know that use Apple music got it for free. Yeah, you only people I know that's quite damning isn't it? Arming, isn't it? I'm fortunate. Yo Han, what you got?

Starting point is 00:55:23 I have got. Do either of you still use anything like focus at will or brain FM or any like focus music? No, but my next life brain FM is similar. OK. Do you remember those? I've just got, yeah. I've got a set of like, you know, the 10 hour YouTube videos that are like meditation music whatever

Starting point is 00:55:49 So I found recently and I did this a little bit during the pandemic because I used to work in coffee shops a lot There's a selection of playlists on YouTube, which is like coffee shop ambience With a little bit of jazz and as though it's raining outside And I try I tried And honestly, like an hour later, like, oh God, where I'm just in this zone. My inbox is empty. Where have I been? Yeah. Yeah. It is. What's the, you play coffee shop music while you're in the coffee shop? No, no, no. It's while I'm at home. It's while I'm at home. Okay. So it's the sound, it's like the ambience, the ambience of a coffee

Starting point is 00:56:25 shop and there's like someone saying like, hey, can I have a, a, a, any, ventilade, a, Oh, including orders. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They really committed. Have they got the shinking of, of, uh, honestly, coffee, you hear the coffee machine going like the, the milk being frothed, there's a little bit of jars and it's raining outside. And you would think that's too much that will be distracting. But there's something about that, obviously it might just be me. But there's something about that. But it's so helpful. So like, so there's I have the link, the actual link to the one that I use. So I'll just give you that. Cool. That'll be in the show. I'll do it. I don't. Yeah. If that's, if that's what gets you off,

Starting point is 00:57:03 you know, if that's I'm just looking forward to the inbox being like blacking out and then the inbox being empty. Oh God. You just see cafe. So you row. You said, that was it. Come on. I've, so I've got an anti hack to begin with, which is just a failed.

Starting point is 00:57:22 So I bought a home pod mini recently. Just you reminded me of it before, Johnny. What's that? So home pod is Apple's version of a home speaker. It's their version of like the Alexa speaker or the Google thing. Wasn't that burning, burning holes onto work surfaces when it first came? Yeah, it was.

Starting point is 00:57:41 It was made of some kind of corrosive material. Yeah, sadly, it's terrible. So I returned it to it the same day. So I'll tell you why because currently, I think this was an old life hack from one of the OG. This is a Bose mini sound link, if it'll come into focus. There we are. Beautiful speaker, incredible base for what what for the size of it. Like it's mind-blowing, how they managed it. HomePod, too trebly, not enough thickness in the bass, and I'm a man that loves bassy music. And it uses Wi-Fi protocol, not Bluetooth. So it's actually a real farf to get it to connect to anything. And there's about a two second delay between let's say a noise happening on your laptop or iPhone and playing on the speaker,

Starting point is 00:58:29 which is fine if you're playing background music, but as soon as you're using it for anything else, it's untenable. And it has to be plugged in. So on all fronts, it's not good. There's a lot of very detailed critique of this. Like, you put this all happened within a couple of hours. Within a couple of hours. You've used that. You've used that Bose sound link or whatever it's called for a long time. I've got the anchor version, which is £35, I think.

Starting point is 00:59:00 And the battery on it is wild. I can't believe how loud it is. It goes everywhere. It's a good shape as well. You know, it's enough to fit in a laptop bag. It's enough to fit in a day bag or whatever. Yeah, I mean, so the anti-hack was don't buy an Apple home pod mini or whatever. And the actual hack is... Well, the actual hack is completely separate. I was just reminded... Just sneaking in the separate one.

Starting point is 00:59:26 Good, good. Yeah, so the hack itself is to get an instant pot, which I think was recommended by Jordan, who listens to the podcast, incredible. An instant pot is a multi-function thing that you put in your kitchen. It does slow cooking, it does pressure cooking, it cooks rice, and you can get a one with a special liver that does air frying as well.

Starting point is 00:59:52 So really it replaces the need for any other thing in your kitchen. So particularly if you live in like a studio apartment in Tokyo or something and you just want something that's very space-efficient. But where it really comes into shine is you can put a whole chicken into it with some white wine and rosemary and it pressure cooks it within 20, 25 minutes. It's falling off the bone. Like it's deliciously tender and the way that pressure cooking works is that it infuses the flavor into the meat. So a bit of white wine and rosemary, it'll like push that flavor into the, the very, it'll really penetrate that chicken.

Starting point is 01:00:31 Like into the fibas. Into the fibas, yeah. So like chefs really like pressure cooking because of that reason. The only downside is that it doesn't make very aesthetic food. Like pressure cooked food's not, it just looks like a stew. So it's all about taste. Does it smell? Because one of the product problems that you have

Starting point is 01:00:51 with air fryer's, especially if you do it with meat, it's like a hairdryer blowing the smell cooking crispy chicken around your kitchen. So I can't speak for air fr frying, but with pressure cooking, no, because the way that it works is the plugs. Yeah, so it plugs it and seals it. However, when it's finished, you've got two choices. You can either let it see, pressurize on its own, which takes an hour or so, or you can

Starting point is 01:01:21 take it outside. Don't do it inside, because that's where you basically atomizing the smell, take it outside, flip the switch, and it just goes, for about three minutes. Oh, okay. And that's a specific, that's an actual, that's not you Jerry rigging it and just ripping the lid off and being hidden. Oh, got hidden the face face by 500 PSI of cooked chicken. Yeah, I think if you were to try and rip off the lid,

Starting point is 01:01:48 it would be really dangerous, like it would probably. Bad things would happen. Hospitalization, yeah. Fine, right. Have you got, you must have a slow cooker of some kind, Johnny. I don't. It's a surprise. I'm a fan of a, I'm a fan of a slow cooker.

Starting point is 01:02:05 I've not had a pressure cooker before, but a pressure cooker is just fast slow cooking. Slow cooking on three times speed. Yeah, good point. That's another thing that I haven't mentioned about the difference in podcasts, players. Spotify has way more options for fine-tuning the speed. 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.2.5 and 3. I think it goes up to 4. So, whereas with Apple, it's just not got it. Just not got it, Apple. But if you want to do Modern Wisdom on a new and noteworthy, please feel free to get that on.

Starting point is 01:02:45 Right, mine, which has just been reminded by what you were saying, Johnny, there is an option now when you have air pods on iPhone called background sounds. Are you familiar with this? No. Oh, so what Apple has decided to do is it's realized that a lot of people need not just sound dampening or like the noise cancellation on the outside. They actually have, and let me see if I can put this up to here. So come on. You'll see that there's this little ear thing here. If you press that, it pops up and says, background sounds and background sounds. So that's ocean. And there is balance noise, bright noise, dark noise, ocean, rain and stream. So basically with this,

Starting point is 01:03:41 how the fuck do I turn it off? There we go. This is inbuilt, Apple certified background sound. Now the great thing that you can do about this is you can have two volumes set for it. How much of the volume that is on at the moment when nothing else is playing, do you want the background sounds to be at? And then a second volume, which is when you are playing something else,

Starting point is 01:04:03 how much of the total overall volume that's available that is relative to what's playing, do you want the background sound to be at? Use case number one, I am by the pool in a lovely resort in Tulum, Mexico. I am listening to some cool podcasts that I was enjoying, I think Tim Dylan on Rogan, but there's a crying child.

Starting point is 01:04:22 It was actually a crying child with special needs, but crying child near the pool. I didn't want to hear the sound of this child anymore. No matter how much noise cancellation I had on, had I have decided to go so loud on Rogan and Tim, it would have been pretty uncomfortable. So background sounds came on low level, only 10%, 10%, but that fills in the gap of the background. You've still got noise cancellation and then coming through over the top you've got the podcast. Pretty pointless for listening to music along with it, reason being that music tends to fill

Starting point is 01:04:55 those spaces in any case, but for audibleing when you've got a noisy surrounding and you're trying to focus on listening to it great. And then also, when there's nothing, you're on a plane, you haven't had your white noise playlist from Spotify downloaded for offline or whatever. Pretty robust. The waves or whatever that was ocean one is high quality. It's the sound of waves coming over. It goes up and down. It's active, but not too active. They've got the white, the balance, the brown, the pink noise. They've got a rain one. I mean, it's Apple, you know, like they're going to get it right. That is a good one. They're always adding different, like,

Starting point is 01:05:32 there's that feature on AirPods, where, have you seen it where, like, if you look to the right of the life, it sounds like you're always going, yeah. That's crazy. That caught me once when I was crossing the road. I was just into like a video on my AirPods in my pocket. And I looked left and I was like, oh my God, there's a car car. Luckily that wasn't. Wow. Okay. Johnny, what you got? Okay. Which one should I do? I am going to do the... This was recommended to me by a client. So it is a Chrome extension for all of the, I don't know whether it's all of them, but there's a load of visualized value diagrams on every new tab that you're opening Chrome. So it's just something that I visualized value. I tend to do it. Ease was very behind it.

Starting point is 01:06:25 Do you, are you familiar with that, Chris? Jack's been on the show. Even better. Then everyone would be familiar with it. So it's something that I've been like always wanting to learn more about or see more examples of because every diagram that I see, every drawing that I see is like, it's so cleverly articulating this idea. But I just don't, I didn't have a way to get more exposure to them,

Starting point is 01:06:47 but I've had so many content ideas, email ideas, reminders of concepts that you forget. It's like a read-wise in some ways, like a just a gentle reminder of like, oh yeah. Was it made by visualized value? Must've been. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:07:04 I don't know. But it's just every new made by visualized value? Must have been. I don't know. But it's just every new type of visualized value graphic. What's your favorite concept that you've been reminded of recently? Can you think of any? A lot of them are to deal with, like, so sounds morbid, but reminders of death. Does sound a bit morbid, mate, not gonna lie. Like, you know what I mean, though? Like, I mean, the majority are like about

Starting point is 01:07:34 compounding and building leverage with digital products and stuff, but you've gone straight in. I've seen many about death, frankly. You know, the idea of like, that not just thinking about death in general, but like the stoic idea of like That not not just Thinking about death in general, but like the stoic idea of thinking about death and how things are finite and it will end soon So there's a few that are coming up lately. They'll be like that that I always think I should think more about that and give that more in a Momentum or I should spend more of my more of my living days thinking about

Starting point is 01:08:04 My death, yeah. So I I really strongly think that to be honest. I think it's a good stoic a good stoic spends his life preparing to die so that when he dies he doesn't fear it. Something like that. Why do you get this? Is it just visualise value? Just in in chrome. Just go into extensions and search for visualized value. And that'll be there. Chrome extension, very nice. Ease F. Apple reminders or tick tick and presumably things and any task management app will have any app worth its salt. We'll have a feature where you can ping a reminder based on your location.

Starting point is 01:08:46 So typically used for when I'm leaving the house, it goes, oh, remember your wallet or whatever. I use it as part of a social list for whenever I enter a 30 mile radius of Edinburgh or London or leads to get in touch with certain people. Because what you're avoiding here is visiting London and then on your way back, someone goes, oh, you're in London, how can we get in touch with them? And you're like, oh, shit, yeah, I should have gone for coffee with them. So it's having a location-based reminder

Starting point is 01:09:16 whenever you enter a certain zone. And particularly useful for Eucharist, I guess, where you've got pros in several area codes. Dude, I like that. I think that's cool. Do you remember Facebook used to have a function that was exactly the same, such and such is near you. Is near by? Oh, it's quite a creepy function.

Starting point is 01:09:34 Yeah, well, you could select it on and off if you didn't want to. I could remind us, does the, like, when you're messaging someone, I've used that quite a few times. So like, when you open I message and go to message someone, they remind the pops up then. And what is it, like what a use case for that?

Starting point is 01:09:51 So like, so you need to tomorrow afternoon, you need to remember to message someone about something, for example, so if you were on your phone, and you find yourself in a conversation with someone and you remember the thing that you were gonna talk to them about, it pops up then. So it's like a person contextual. Yeah, I suppose Apple's trying to create this like, oh, like you open a link and it says, ah, Johnny sent you this or, but the Apple also has find my friends feature. The reason I'm not super on board for that is that that requires you both to have a live

Starting point is 01:10:23 location tracker at all times. No, everyone's going to be happy with just always sharing their location with their friends. No, probably not. Right. Okay. So this is, I haven't got a car in Austin. I have been single-handedly keeping Uber solvent for the last few months. First up is Uber 1, which is their Uber premium thing. I think I mentioned this last time,

Starting point is 01:10:54 but in case you haven't done Uber 1's great, it works similar to Amazon Prime, you get multiple types of benefits. It works on Uber Eats, it also works on Uber, you get 5% off everything, then some preferential delivery, sometimes you on Uber Eats, it also works on Uber, you get 5% off everything, then some preferential delivery, sometimes you get quicker pickups, sometimes you get free upgrades. I think that Uber 1 also allows you to get more options of the cars presets, have you ever got into a car, and it says, what sort of level of talkitiveness do you want the driver to have, what sort of climate of talkativeness do you want the driver to have? What sort of climate do you want? Do you want it cool? Hot cold, whatever. So Uber

Starting point is 01:11:30 one is part of that. Second one is Uber instead of cars, especially if you're spending a good bit of time in a city and you're going away a lot of the time you might consider, I'm going to rent a car because I'm going to be driving around a lot. If you actually look at the cost of Ubering everywhere for a day, it does not come in anywhere close to how much renting a car would be, especially if it's lots of small journeys. And if it's over a longer period of time, one thing that I've realized is, obviously, on the days that I'm not ubering, I'm not paying for anything. On the days that I have a car but don't use it, I still pay for the car. That being said, I've missed driving so don't use it, I still pay for the car.

Starting point is 01:12:05 That being said, I've missed driving so much, like way more than I thought. I wouldn't, I knew I love driving. Got back here, jumped in my car, took a little while to start up, given it hasn't been driven for six months, but just felt so great to be back driving. I really enjoy it.

Starting point is 01:12:18 He is the one which was very interesting, and I learned this from a driver that was stopping so that I could collect something from the supermarket. Uber doesn't get paid for stopping. So the way that your Uber drivers get paid is based on the fee that you are that they're proposed at the very, very beginning. So if you get in a car and it's $9 or whatever, it is in their interests to get you there as quickly and in the most efficient route possible. If you're stuck in traffic, you don't need to be particularly concerned, but it just always wanted that. It changes for me at least. It changes the power dynamic a little bit and also the fear around whether this guy is taking the pace or whatever else it might be.

Starting point is 01:13:08 And also if you're stopping to pick somebody up and you're putting multiple destinations in, you're stopping on route. Knowing that they don't get paid for stopping is from a courtesy perspective for you and the driver. A pretty important thing to know because after two minutes they can only stop for two minutes, the reason for that is that they're not getting paid for this. So it's in their interest for you to move quickly. And if you want them to get you there on time

Starting point is 01:13:32 and all the rest of it, I think that it's a pretty good courtesy thing to keep your Uber drivers happy that you don't dick about when they're stood still. So there's no way for the Uber driver to take the mic. But like in a London car, like the driver, if you don't know the area, the driver could take you really wiggly way for the Uber driver to take the mic. But like in a London cab, like the driver, if you don't know the area, the driver could take you really wiggly way around

Starting point is 01:13:48 the destination or stop for ages. So with Uber, that's transferred entirely onto the customer. In the, if the customer's like, oh, can we just pull up here and pick up my mate or whatever? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the stops and stuff need to be really should just be put in the app. And obviously, everybody should know this,

Starting point is 01:14:09 but you can have multiple destinations put into. So if you're going to go and pick somebody up, it's not like you need to get in and then ask him, you can actually place that into the app and have multiple destinations go the way. It's like when you're sharing a new or back with someone to drop you both off at both each of your houses and then

Starting point is 01:14:25 on the way one of them says, I want to go to McDonald's and say you are that in and then that becomes part of the round trip. That sounds like a familiar memory to me, Johnny. Might have happened to me at some point. I've just heard that in that instance. If you extend the journey, they still don't get anything. What do you not know? No, of course you do.

Starting point is 01:14:46 Yeah, because you'll have to. They do. It's actually a fact trouble. Yeah, even if you just say stop on route, it'll add a 50p on or something. Okay. For the two-minute stop. Yep, precisely.

Starting point is 01:14:58 I've just remembered, I think one of the original podcast, probably 2015, 2016, where we were talking about accidentally pressing a Uber Excel or whatever, it's called Uber Premium thing. And then you just hear like, in the background, oh shit, and this is like, you've been charged $10,000 on a fucking helicopter. Okay, well, let's, I think I've still got loads in the tank. However, we usually finish these off by talking about what we've been watching recently.

Starting point is 01:15:29 If we've been watching anything good, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBOE, Apple E suggestions. I'm just gonna get it out there, right? Wasn't impressed with Lord of the Rings. I agree. Very much. First two episodes was recording this after the first two episodes were up. Wasn't particularly impressed. Elon Musk tweeted today saying J.R.R Tolkien is turning in his grave. He also mentioned that the only male

Starting point is 01:15:59 character that isn't stupid or narcissistic and is brave kind and competent is like one guy and it does seem to be a very female-powered show. The moment not that there's anything particularly wrong with that, but it was kind of confusing and don't really understand what's going on. Not that impressed. Have you watched it? Yeah. What do you think? Just didn't really enjoy it. I don't think I'll finish it Half a billion they paid for that show 250 million was just for the license I mean they They were they were set up to For it to be disappointing really when they like it for it to carry that brand and

Starting point is 01:16:41 Impress everybody it's a hard thing to do. I don't think they've done even that counting for that. I don't think they've done a very good job, but I think they had a very hard, very hard, very nice. What about the new Game of Thrones? There it is. Have you watched it, Seth? You're watching your Game of Thrones? No, I only watched the first episode back in 2013 when I was recovering from testicle surgery and so I wasn't in a great mood and I just couldn't get into it. So I'm there with a lot of opioids in my system just like. I imagine I was only going like me too man me too that was my experience with Game of Thrones. What do you think Johnny because we were both pretty big fans of Game of Thrones?

Starting point is 01:17:25 I thought it was... I thought the first episode, especially it was fantastic. I was a little disappointed with the second episode. Thought that was a little slow. Not slow, yeah. Just generally, it's okay that obviously leaning into the sort of political side of things. Here's my bro science theory around it. Remember when you were watching Harry Potter as a kid, or reading Harry Potter, and in the first book, it were really big into the house points, and then my sort of book three, he

Starting point is 01:17:54 was breaking people out of jail, but it was still like bothered about what was going on in school, and then by book seven, he's trying to save the world, right? My point being that the way that most of these series they continue to scale the intensity and the grandeur of the challenges that the protagonists have to face. Now the problem that you have with Game of Thrones at the beginning, it's like, here's something happening in Winterfell and blah, blah, blah, blah, and then by the end of the season they've got to save the world, especially being a prequel, especially only being 170 years before the actions of the next one, and

Starting point is 01:18:25 also knowing that there is a limited timeline between the two of them, there is an upper bound on how much growth and scale. They can't go and fight whitewalkers or wager war because that's not part of the law of this world. So they're having to lean in a little bit more to the politics of what's going on within the show Which is great and the politics side was interesting and exciting, but I don't know they're just the The feels missing meat to me a little bit also it not a lot of sex Yeah, and again with this not a massive amount massive amount of compelling male protagonists, but there's no guys there that I'm really rooting for at the moment. And I don't actually know if I'm rooting for any of the girls either yet.

Starting point is 01:19:15 So all in all, not that much of a fan. A fan like in waiting, but again, it's because the bar was set so high, I felt so in love with the with the game of Thrones up until the final season that it felt similar to me to like a casino royale change in the bond. Switch. Yeah. Like bit more basic. I know there's dragons in it still, but it's a bit more basic. There's a there's a few like the jouststing scenes, like very gritty and real, which didn't really feel like it happened in the last season, the game, the thrones and things,

Starting point is 01:19:51 as you say, everything's very grand, huge battles going on, lots of CGI. That was just two guys, two knights on horses in a arena. I just thought that was quite cool. It was a bit of a change of direction, but I do know what you mean. Meat. Listen a bit of meat. There is no meat. Hopefully there'll be, there'll be some meat. What have you been watching anything else, do you like? I have been watching something called the Suspect on ITV. I think there's only two episodes of it, but really good so far. It's like a psychological thriller, whereas like a guy, he's a psychiatrist and he becomes this suspect in a case, phenomenal so far. But it's one of those things that they release weekly, and you really you want it all to be on available to watch

Starting point is 01:20:45 to finish. Tell you what? Because it might get terrible. A lot of the things. The so pranks. So releasing two episodes on the first day was bloody smart. Mm hmm. I'll give them that.

Starting point is 01:20:56 Yeah, don't open with one episode. I'm just adding the suspect to my list, which is a life hack that we're all on board with, where you have a list of shows to watch, and you put the person's name, who recommended it next to it for accountability, so you can... I imagine you have an external spreadsheet with a rating system of whether or not you should, how highly you should trust that person's suggestions. Yeah, so you have a coefficient for each person, depending on their kind of ongoing ranking. And Johnny's actually winning.

Starting point is 01:21:30 Am I really? Yes, that's great. You watched anything recently. I actually watched, I think it was your recommendation, Chris, the boys. Oh, wow. So I've just finished the third season. Oh, that's a 30 hour commitment. That is a about a few months. That's about as good of a

Starting point is 01:21:53 commendation as you can give, I think. Oh, yeah. For me to go home run with it is, yeah, and it's great. It's a really, really nice concept really really well executed as well And I think sometimes when you see it, I've shows like that where If someone to explain that on paper, you'd be like, oh, yeah, that sounds like a brilliant idea to flesh out And then it falls flat on the on the delivery But this was great on both sides. So yeah, really good glad If you I tried I tried it. No, I tried it. I feel like I tried like game of Thrones, I had to try three or four times before I got into it, same with Peaky Blinders, same with Breaking Bad.

Starting point is 01:22:33 So I probably need another. Yeah, you're not an easy, easy check to please. That's I think I just need I, I, I, I'm very like if I'm halfway through the first episode, and I don't like something, I'm turning off. Okay. I'm not watching. Yeah, it's worth sticking up. One more recommendation that's a bit, it's more just that it's because it's unbelievable. And it's based on the truth is it's called like the thief, his wife and the canoe or something like that. I think it's on BBC. But it's on BBC RITV, one of the two. I wasn't intending to say this, but it's based on this. It's a true story about that guy in like, Seaton Karoo, who was, it was going to claim bankruptcy.

Starting point is 01:23:12 So just just paddle that sea in a canoe and then claimed he died and hid in the next door house for two years. And his wife claimed life insurance and got all the money. And like this series, if it wasn't based on truth, the things that unfolded and it'd be like, this is ridiculous, like who's made this plot, but it's all factual. So is this dramatized or a documentary? It's drama. It's a drama of what happens to bits of it that are slightly exaggerated.

Starting point is 01:23:41 But like these two like tell their kids, tell their family that this guy is dead, then he's just, and he, because they've all got to already accents. So he's just like, what I'll live next door. No, no, no. So that, that reminds me of the stuff that's like, you hear the first thing and you like, surely not, and then it gets more and more ridiculous. You recommended the, the one about the woman that set up the vegan restaurants and she met this guy who said, bad vegan, yeah, and he was a bit of a catfish. So I think for anyone who enjoyed that, there's a couple of podcast series, one of them's called Sweet Bobby,

Starting point is 01:24:20 which is the most turbo catfish story that I've ever heard. It's a journalistic true crime thing where they follow through the story and there's I think each episode is 25 minutes, seven episodes, so it's short and sweet. If you've got a long car journey or something coming up, definitely get on to that. And the other one is called Call Bethel, a little bit more heavy. It's about the systematic sexual abuse in the Jehovah's Witness community. Pretty intense. Yeah. But for something a bit more lighthearted. Fantastic. Fungi. It's a podcast series or TV documentary. So it's just about Fungi as a thing, not just, hardly some the genic ones, but how they have exist.

Starting point is 01:25:09 It sounds like a really dry, boring thing, but it's so visually beautiful. Is it Paul Stannan? I don't know. He's on there as well, yeah. And the other guy too. And the other guy too, I think, called How to Change Your Mind,

Starting point is 01:25:20 which is the documentary about that, yeah, Paul's just like the mushroom man, isn't he? The mushroom man. Yeah, he knows this stuff. The only thing that he's made on Guy. Well, a lot of the people on there are like, I have been studying fun jai for the last 12 years and it's like, you know when someone's an expert in something and they they just decide to pronounce the thing a bit differently to make them seem like a special expert. Even though... Yeah.

Starting point is 01:25:47 Er, I watched untold. Have you seen the... Did you watch a lot of Apple in there? Manté Teo. Oh, Seth, this is... I would say that this is especially because you like the catfish things. I would bump this. I really don't want my coefficient to drop, but I would, I would guess I would be prepared

Starting point is 01:26:15 to wage a large amount of money that you will very much enjoy this. It's a two-part documentary series about an American football player who gets catfished online and they tell the story from his side, from the catfishes side, from the side of his coaches and he's super famous. He was going to be the number one draft pick one year and it's just all hell breaks loose. And the person that was catfishing him at the time identified as male now identifies as a woman. And it is... It's very compelling and it's very well done.

Starting point is 01:26:52 The thing that I liked the most about it was Mante Teo, the athlete and the protagonist, his attitude. I think he's just a total hero of a guy. Like, very into faith, very into hard work, just accepted the fact that he'd messed up. The entire world was laughing at him. People were going out on Halloween nights out in America, at Maneteo and his girlfriend and it was them with their arm around no one.

Starting point is 01:27:19 And this guy just continued to take it on the chin, continued to try and afford it. He's just, he's great. So I highly recommend that. That's exciting. So I've put that high up on the list. So now currently in the leaderboard between you both, we've got Whiplash from Miles Invasion from Johnny, Untold from Eucharist, and then we've got X Machiner, the Alpenist and the Suspect in that order.

Starting point is 01:27:43 So I would get rid of invasion. Just get rid of invasion to delete it. Okay, so that was a Johnny. X Mac and stick that up there. That's great. I'm happy for my aim to go next to the Montetail one. Yeah, that's a double coefficient. Yeah, beautiful.

Starting point is 01:27:59 Wow, you're not taking any of my scores, Johnny. This is my... Well, no, it's more just that I think it forces him to watch it first, doesn't it? Yeah, but you're also going to benefit. So you get the credit for it? Yeah, it's not gonna. But I also get myself up.

Starting point is 01:28:13 Like I'm the person with the Untanush record here. Like I'm in the lead, I just don't know. If I can slipstream and hang on to the co-tails of your fantastic suggestions.

What's the thinking? Yeah, well, it's just, well, there was no thinking behind drinking. So

Starting point is 01:29:42 that's like saying, what's the thinking behind like not putting smearing poo on your face when you get to the wedding? What about if I devote like if I spent 500 pounds on drinks that were just for you and no one else could drink them? And in the speech you were like, oh everyone give a big hand to use it. Yeah, big hand. That bar that's over the far side, that bar that's there. He's from Freddy today. Everybody is not allowed to go to it, except for you, Seth. So you really twist and manipulate.
