• 0:03Speaker 01

  Hundred and eleven life hacks episodes.

• 0:08Chris Williamson?

  Just to recap, you've bought a trampoline.

• 0:11Jonny?

  Yes.

• 0:12Chris Williamson?

  Like a, if you imagine a big trampoline, it's a little one.

• 0:15Jonny?

  Smaller one.

• 0:15Chris Williamson?

  Yes, and you're going to, that's gonna be your thing.

• 0:18Jonny?

  I am doing that.

• 0:19Chris Williamson?

  Balancing.

• 0:19Jonny?

  I've been, yeah, okay.

• 0:23Speaker 01

  What is funny? Oh, the condoms. No, what?

• 0:32Jonny?

  See, in the back, you have a MacBook, condoms and croissant.

• 0:37Speaker 01

  And stethoscope.

• 0:39Chris Williamson?

  Yousef bought me and Johnny for Christmas, a one hour, beautiful brass and glass. Hourglass.

• 0:48Jonny?

  Good name for a brand.

• 0:49Chris Williamson?

  Brass and glass, yeah, would be, would it be for prostitutes to shit on tables in front of them?

• 0:55Chris Williamson?

  Brass and glass.

• 1:00Chris Williamson?

  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back, Johnny and Yusef in the building. Welcome back, gentlemen. How are you doing?

• 1:08Speaker 01

  Hello, very good, very good.

• 1:10Chris Williamson?

  Life hacks one eleven.

• 1:13Speaker 01

  Is that what it is?

• 1:14Chris Williamson?

  One, one.

• 1:15Speaker 01

  Hundred and eleven life hacks episodes.

• 1:21Chris Williamson?

  That's a lie, we started on one oh one. And Johnny, you've actually got some for once.

• 1:25Jonny?

  I do, I've done some preparation, but don't you dare.

• 1:30Chris Williamson?

  I'm not going to do that. What I am going to do though, if you know what bear bells are, they are a protein shake, pre-made protein shake, absolutely fantastic, tastes lovely. Partnered with the company from Noco and you can win a crate of them. All that you need to do is share this episode, tag me in the share at Chriswellx, wherever you follow me. Share this episode up and I'll choose someone and send a case of bear bells out to you. And my first life hack is.

• 1:57Jonny?

  Can I ask you a question first?

• 1:58Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 1:59Jonny?

  Are they not protein bars?

• 2:00Chris Williamson?

  They also make milkshakes.

• 2:01Jonny?

  Do they?

• 2:02Chris Williamson?

  Yeah. I've got some in there, do you want to take away?

• 2:04Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 2:05Chris Williamson?

  So my first life hack is replace milk on cereal with Bear Bell's white chocolate.

• 2:13Jonny?

  Okay, I'm on board with that. You have a lot of cereal, don't you?

• 2:16Speaker 01

  I have a lot of cereal.

• 2:18Chris Williamson?

  Twenty grams, twenty grams of protein instantly added on to whatever your cereal is for the day.

• 2:22Speaker 01

  I'm gonna have to make it my.

• 2:23Chris Williamson?

  I'll just give you one, I'll just give you one. You can't take my life hack.

• 2:26Speaker 01

  No, no, just the type of cereal.

• 2:29Chris Williamson?

  Okay, so granola works very well with granola, like white chocolate, Bear Bell's milkshake, uh protein shake, granola, unbelievable. Macros are fantastic.

• 2:42Jonny?

  So it's higher calorie, slightly higher cost, I imagine, much higher cost.

• 2:45Chris Williamson?

  Well, yeah.

• 2:46Jonny?

  But must be tasty.

• 2:48Chris Williamson?

  Oh, it's so good.

• 2:49Jonny?

  What sort of granola do you have? Don't ask him this question, cause I know you'll get excited. What sort of granola would you go?

• 2:53Chris Williamson?

  Mine's Asda own brand.

• 2:55Speaker 01

  Yes. Asda extra special?

• 2:58Chris Williamson?

  No.

• 2:59Speaker 01

  Okay, so you're in for a treat.

• 3:00Jonny?

  Are we talking like granola with with raisins?

• 3:03Chris Williamson?

  Raisins and nuts and.

• 3:04Jonny?

  Okay.

• 3:04Chris Williamson?

  It'd kill you.

• 3:05Jonny?

  So I have.

• 3:06Chris Williamson?

  Kill you so fast.

• 3:07Jonny?

  The Quaker granola, the Quaker raisin granola is frankly lethal. Like, you don't realise it, but if you could easily do the box without even realising.

• 3:16Chris Williamson?

  I know the one that you mean, yeah.

• 3:18Speaker 01

  It's so calorie dense.

• 3:19Jonny?

  It's unbelievable.

• 3:20Speaker 01

  It's like fried cereal, isn't it?

• 3:22Jonny?

  It's like someone's made cereal and then just put a butter in it.

• 3:27Jonny?

  Put it on the shelf.

• 3:28Speaker 01

  And you're like, oh, that's really, that's really nice.

• 3:30Jonny?

  Really tasty, and you're like, ah.

• 3:33Jonny?

  And then Chris is like.

• 3:34Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 3:35Chris Williamson?

  I'm just a bit lean at the moment.

• 3:37Jonny?

  Why don't I add some calories? I'm a sore reen.

• 3:40Chris Williamson?

  Well, that's it. If you at the end of the day and you're like, I really want a nice supper before I go to bed, but oh, twenty grams of protein down for the day.

• 3:48Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 3:48Chris Williamson?

  Shit, there you go.

• 3:49Jonny?

  I do think cereals are brilliant evening food.

• 3:52Chris Williamson?

  Ah, so.

• 3:52Jonny?

  Brilliant evening food.

• 3:53Chris Williamson?

  It's it's the bookend of the day, isn't it? Do you know what I mean? It's the beginning and the end. What'd you have this morning? Cereal. What'd you have before bed? Cereal.

• 3:59Jonny?

  Do you eat cereal for breakfast?

• 4:01Chris Williamson?

  Uh I'm fasting until about one P M usually.

• 4:03Jonny?

  So if I were to have cereal for breakfast, I'd just take the edge off for me.

• 4:06Chris Williamson?

  Just the edge off what?

• 4:08Jonny?

  Like just my.

• 4:09Chris Williamson?

  Sharpener?

• 4:10Jonny?

  My focus, yeah.

• 4:11Chris Williamson?

  It's bedtime.

• 4:11Jonny?

  Blunting the pencil. But if it's like before bed, right.

• 4:15Chris Williamson?

  Cool. You actually have a list of life hacks, Johnny.

• 4:18Jonny?

  Go.

• 4:19Chris Williamson?

  Tell us, tell us the list.

• 4:20Jonny?

  So the first one, you won't agree with, Chris.

• 4:22Chris Williamson?

  Okay.

• 4:22Jonny?

  Cause I know you think this sort of thing's a bit silly, but a SodaStream.

• 4:28Chris Williamson?

  You got this for Christmas, right?

• 4:30Jonny?

  I did, it's a present. It is, so fizzy water, sparkling water is when you add it up, quite expensive and also a faff. So if you were to go and buy a lot of sparkling water, go on.

• 4:45Chris Williamson?

  How is buying sparkling water more of a faff than having to make the fucking stuff yourself?

• 4:49Jonny?

  Because it's it's easy to make it. So you, under the tap, button, done.

• 4:54Speaker 01

  What Johnny likes about it is that he can shout the flavour of the of the water in in the room and then it's the same as that other stuff that Sam.

• 5:02Jonny?

  So he's talking about La Croix, yeah, so.

• 5:05Speaker 01

  Lemon. And then you're like, oh.

• 5:07Jonny?

  It it, that's the best descrip, did I tell you that?

• 5:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 5:10Jonny?

  Yeah, so I read that description about La Croix and it's perfect, exactly what it is.

• 5:14Speaker 01

  While you're drinking it, it's as if someone.

• 5:15Jonny?

  Someone shouts like, line, next door, and that's that's the amount of flavouring there is in there.

• 5:20Chris Williamson?

  Okay.

• 5:21Jonny?

  Um, but it's great for appetite suppression. So if you're fasting and if you're not like these two and you have to count your calories in order to lose weight or manage your body weight, um, then having sparkling water instead of normal water, having carbonate drinks, great for appetite suppression. It's also really nice.

• 5:40Chris Williamson?

  Why not, why not Diet Coke?

• 5:43Speaker 01

  Or like green tea.

• 5:45Jonny?

  Caffeine and tastes awful.

• 5:47Chris Williamson?

  Why not, uh, Diet Sprite, Sprite Zero?

• 5:51Jonny?

  No reason, taste preference.

• 5:53Chris Williamson?

  I'm just trying to, you know.

• 5:54Jonny?

  Yeah, so it, so once you've got a SodaStream, you need to have the gas canister. But they, you can take them to Lakeland and get them swapped for another one.

• 6:02Chris Williamson?

  Where's Lakeland?

• 6:03Jonny?

  Like, that's like saying, where's W H Smith?

• 6:07Chris Williamson?

  I've never seen the word Lakeland written once before.

• 6:09Jonny?

  Seriously?

• 6:10Chris Williamson?

  Never seen it written before.

• 6:11Jonny?

  That's because you don't operate in like, everything's hard cash and nightclubs and everything.

• 6:17Chris Williamson?

  I bet they only sell chip and pin, do they?

• 6:19Speaker 01

  Maybe like the bits in the GTA map that are just like blank grey shops. You don't think you can actually go inside. There there's the shop.

• 6:28Chris Williamson?

  They're just polygon, polygon.

• 6:29Speaker 01

  There's the one where you can buy the guns and the one where you can change the colour of your car. And then.

• 6:33Chris Williamson?

  In between that is Lakeland.

• 6:35Speaker 01

  Just Lakeland.

• 6:35Jonny?

  Unless it's Vice City, where there's the garages. But yeah, so SodaStream.

• 6:39Chris Williamson?

  Cool, I like it.

• 6:40Jonny?

  And they do little, you can actually ironically turn it into Coke with a Lakeland flavour.

• 6:44Speaker 01

  Have you got the different flavouring?

• 6:45Jonny?

  I've got two.

• 6:46Chris Williamson?

  What's the best flavouring?

• 6:47Jonny?

  Lemon.

• 6:48Chris Williamson?

  Clem.

• 6:49Jonny?

  Clem, diet lemon. Don't get, for God's sake, don't get the ginger beer, don't get sucked into the organic stuff. Because you go and there are some that are in like brown, like medicine. Really nice. They're a bit more expensive. And then you realise that the the amount that you have to dilute it by, you'd be better off just drinking like red Coke. Like the sugar's insane. So you're having like a a nice zero calorie beverage chilled in the morning, lovely. Two, I've made my own sugar drink.

• 7:21Jonny?

  I've gone to effort and expense to make my own.

• 7:26Jonny?

  Isn't as nice as.

• 7:28Chris Williamson?

  Have you, are you filtering the water before? So is it filtered water?

• 7:32Jonny?

  Yes.

• 7:32Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, that's okay. Now that's nice.

• 7:34Jonny?

  But that's just because Yusuf scared me to death about estrogen. And I feel like filtering, it's like, it's not that probably going to do anything really, but I at least feel like I'm doing something about it.

• 7:44Chris Williamson?

  You need to a- avoid whatever it is, ferretous irons or whatever it was.

• 7:49Jonny?

  It's receipts. I can't wash my hair. I can't like touch certain people.

• 7:54Chris Williamson?

  Certain people, yeah. No candles are allowed.

• 7:57Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 7:58Chris Williamson?

  Oh, yeah. Anyway.

• 7:59Speaker 01

  To to be honest, Johnny has actually taken the highest yield estrogen things to avoid, which is microwaving Tupperware. And stop doing that, which I'm so pleased with because because like when you're microwaving a a plastic container of food and then it's all wibbly and you're just like.

• 8:16Jonny?

  So you you still get meal prep or no?

• 8:18Chris Williamson?

  No, so I'm cooking, cooking for myself now, maybe three months.

• 8:23Jonny?

  Wow, interesting.

• 8:24Speaker 01

  Very good. Um, before I forget, just while we were on the granola thing. If you follow us on Instagram, you'll you'll know that I have got a clinical addiction problem to Asda's best. Hazel nut, dark chocolate, cherry, granola, absolutely. On another level, like, and the the problem is, I get Asda delivery and I get anxious when there's less than three bags in the house. So I've always got maybe ten bags of it at one time.

• 8:55Chris Williamson?

  Are they quite small bags?

• 8:57Speaker 01

  Five hundred gram.

• 8:58Jonny?

  Finest range, isn't it? So like they look at it and think. Yeah, a normal person would only have a sprinkling maybe.

• 9:04Speaker 01

  I think. They're like seven fifty or or, yeah, about seven hundred fifty grams.

• 9:09Chris Williamson?

  Staple of your diet, isn't it? Man, I'm telling you, add a Bear Bell's white chocolate on top of that and it will be.

• 9:15Speaker 01

  Too much to handle.

• 9:16Chris Williamson?

  It'll be enough that it should probably be on at Miami dot V I P. Just bowl a video of a bowl of it slowly rotating.

• 9:23Speaker 01

  I would subscribe to that.

• 9:25Chris Williamson?

  I would as well. Serial.

• 9:27Jonny?

  The fact that you have a granola problem, but still don't gain weight is insane to me.

• 9:32Speaker 01

  So actually, that's my next life hack. I may as well bundle it in, but like, since we're talking of like, how, and this is just because some of us, our weight gravitates like up or down depending on our disposition. And I've noticed this a lot with a lot of the new doctors starting, that you see people's weight distinctly go like up or down depending on.

• 9:53Jonny?

  Right, like how busy they are.

• 9:54Speaker 01

  How, well, like what their coping strategy is, I suppose. So like.

• 9:57Jonny?

  Right.

• 9:58Chris Williamson?

  Do you overwork or overeat?

• 9:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly.

• 10:00Jonny?

  And you over granola?

• 10:02Speaker 01

  I over granola, but my, yeah, my weight tanks. So I've dropped like four or five kilos over a few weeks, um, just with busy periods. So granola and just putting grated cheese on everything is.

• 10:12Chris Williamson?

  And so your life hack, your life hack is how to not lose weight in a stressy time.

• 10:19Speaker 01

  So a lot of, a lot of the life hacks I've got today are you've got to pick the direction because depending on which way.

• 10:26Chris Williamson?

  This is like one of those choose your own destiny adventure books.

• 10:29Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 10:30Chris Williamson?

  Do you want to fight the dragon or do you want to run?

• 10:33Jonny?

  And then you realise that actually there's only ever one right answer, otherwise it brings about the beginning.

• 10:37Speaker 01

  Ah, yeah. But regardless of your goal, the hazelnut cherry dark chocolate granola, mind blowing, but it anxiety inducing when you get less than three bags.

• 10:47Chris Williamson?

  And what's the other thing?

• 10:49Jonny?

  The grated cheese.

• 10:50Speaker 01

  Grated cheese on everything, but with the granola, if you get asked to delivery and you allow substitutions, they'll always try and give you some bullshit granola. It's just like, there's just nothing like, because they have, they also have like an extra special salted caramel crunch.

• 11:05Jonny?

  That sounds great.

• 11:07Speaker 01

  Oh, it's just nothing in comparison. And then, and sometimes you're, the, the guy will have left and you're unpacking all your stuff and you're like, oh, I've been done. Like he slipped in a.

• 11:16Chris Williamson?

  And he's taking the cherry granola for himself.

• 11:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, so annoying.

• 11:19Chris Williamson?

  Okay. Next up, so if you are going on holiday, I advise that you pack a small drawstring bag. So if you remember about the size of an A three piece of paper, two A four bits of paper side by side. It's like the sort of thing you'd have taken to the swimming baths as a kid. Do you know what I mean?

• 11:39Jonny?

  I know exactly.

• 11:39Chris Williamson?

  Like a drawstring backpack and Reebok make one, which has got a single zip pocket across the front of it. And that's it. It's just a drawstring bag. And it is the single best thing that I've ever taken for going away with. You've got your big backpack that's probably maybe got laptop, electronics, sunglasses, other stuff like towel and things. Oh, maybe not even towel, that stuff in. Then you've got suitcase that's, and this is even if you're just going for a weekend. But you need, I'm, I'm quickly going to the beach. I want to throw my towel, swim shorts, sunglasses and Kindle into something. And it's just that, and you can fold it up inside of another bag.

• 12:16Jonny?

  Fully behind that.

• 12:17Chris Williamson?

  It is so good. And I forgot it when I went to, on one of the trips this year, I forgot the bag. And the, the holiday was essentially pointless.

• 12:29Jonny?

  Pretty inconvenient.

• 12:30Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, every, I was like, the, the difficulty level's just been increased by at least 50% of everything that I'm doing.

• 12:38Chris Williamson?

  Well, take the big bag, take my big backpack.

• 12:40Jonny?

  Passport in there.

• 12:42Chris Williamson?

  No, so I have a travel safe, which is a small oval, lockable, foam interior thing. Yeah. That then has a chain, like a, kind of like a, a plastic covered chain that comes off and you can hook that around something. That was when I was travelling and I didn't know if there was going to be safes in some of the hotels.

• 13:01Jonny?

  That's a great idea, that.

• 13:03Chris Williamson?

  Ten quid.

• 13:03Jonny?

  That should be the life hack.

• 13:05Chris Williamson?

  But it's both of them, it's both of them now.

• 13:06Jonny?

  See, I, I get anxiety, I have my laptop with me, leaving it somewhere, leaving it in the hotel room. Cause you can't, you can't put your laptop in there really, can you?

• 13:15Chris Williamson?

  In the safe?

• 13:16Jonny?

  In the bag.

• 13:17Chris Williamson?

  No, not at all.

• 13:17Jonny?

  So you'll take your little backpack with you, I imagine.

• 13:19Chris Williamson?

  I, I just take it everywhere. I leave the laptop in the hotel room.

• 13:22Jonny?

  Do you?

• 13:23Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, but it's. Okay.

• 13:26Speaker 01

  The safes are rubbish apparently, the hotel ones.

• 13:28Chris Williamson?

  Uh, I mean, you're never gonna be able to get a big fifteen or thirteen inch laptop into one of those safes anyway, they're like the size of.

• 13:35Speaker 01

  That's true, but the other benefit of that little backpack is if it's hot, which it probably is if you're on holiday. Having a sweaty back where your backpack's just like pressed against your back is such a horrible feeling.

• 13:46Chris Williamson?

  Man, I honestly, it is so fantastic to have that and you've just got all little things you can have your change. You know, just throw your change in there when you've gone, been going shopping places.

• 13:56Speaker 01

  You just chink around.

• 13:58Chris Williamson?

  Amazing.

• 13:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:00Chris Williamson?

  Johnny.

• 14:00Jonny?

  I'm just getting the exact name, cause I think I've written the exact name down wrong.

• 14:04Chris Williamson?

  Oh wait, it's a specific brand, is it that we're going for with this?

• 14:07Jonny?

  It's, I saw I had written it down wrong, that was it.

• 14:09Chris Williamson?

  Ooh.

• 14:10Jonny?

  No shade, uh, wow. So I'd written natural grass, but it's actually amazing grass.

• 14:16Chris Williamson?

  Amazing grass.

• 14:17Jonny?

  Amazing grass greens powder. So the reason why.

• 14:20Speaker 01

  I've tried that, the one you gave me.

• 14:23Jonny?

  Yeah, the chocolate one.

• 14:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:24Jonny?

  Yeah, so they make one that has cocoa in it.

• 14:28Jonny?

  And so I heard this concept, I, I, I, I think I, so this is a separate life hack, which is if you're buying flavoured things. Get chocolate flavour. Because chocolate flavour is very easy to naturally flavour with cocoa. So when you get a chocolate flavoured something, it typically tastes pretty authentic. If you get a strawberry, banana, vanilla, whatever.

• 14:49Speaker 01

  I've learned that the hard way.

• 14:50Jonny?

  Tasted it off.

• 14:51Chris Williamson?

  I mean, you, you're patient zero for.

• 14:53Jonny?

  You're so off piste with flavouring it's.

• 14:55Speaker 01

  Well, I've got ten kilos still to, well, the, the other half of the ten kilos to go through.

• 14:59Jonny?

  Pina colada.

• 15:00Speaker 01

  Pina colada. But birthday cake never again, that was terrible.

• 15:04Chris Williamson?

  Do you never again, you've got five kilos of pina colada?

• 15:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:07Jonny?

  Ten kilos of pina colada.

• 15:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm just halfway through, but the, the birthday cake, it's a bit salty, it's like eating salty dough with hundred, actual hundreds and thousands in the way. Who wants that in their protein shake?

• 15:17Jonny?

  Someone who orders birthday cake, well, yeah, yeah. But yeah, so they do a, they do a cocoa, like a chocolate flavoured greens powder that is honestly, like. Compared to your typical greens powder.

• 15:28Speaker 01

  This is honestly palatable.

• 15:30Chris Williamson?

  The level up is purely because of taste.

• 15:32Jonny?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 15:34Chris Williamson?

  Okay, I can get behind that.

• 15:36Jonny?

  I mean, it's just easy, naughty.

• 15:37Speaker 01

  Oh my goodness.

• 15:38Jonny?

  It's, it's really easy compared to like, so I've tried ones from my protein and protein works that, that they've flavoured them, it's like. Super berry or blueberry or whatever, it's a bit artificial. This, you could add it to like. Chocolate whey, you wouldn't even notice.

• 15:53Chris Williamson?

  Oh, nice.

• 15:53Jonny?

  Cool. Which you should also get chocolate whey. It's just that you, it's the way to live your life in an easy way.

• 15:58Chris Williamson?

  I think definitely when you're starting with a new supplement, chocolate's a pretty safe one to go for. Um, but most companies now, pretty much everyone does sample packs.

• 16:09Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 16:09Chris Williamson?

  So just get the twenty five gram, single serving sample of one of everything. And then you can go, I like this, I don't like this.

• 16:15Jonny?

  You should write that like on, you should make a post that just says buy the sample pack.

• 16:19Chris Williamson?

  Have that. Stick it to the front of your support.

• 16:21Jonny?

  I've never got a sample pack, but I like, I feel like my days of experimenting with whey, like that was when I was young and reckless.

• 16:27Chris Williamson?

  You don't use whey anymore, do you?

• 16:29Jonny?

  Yeah, like I have the, I have the.

• 16:30Speaker 01

  But I'm, I'm, I've got a problem now, which is because I get the bulk, I, I usually get the largest increment of whey that I can of a single flavour. But the new flavours coming out, uh, coming out at a faster rate than how fast I consume whey.

• 16:44Jonny?

  How many protein shakes do you think you've had over the past five years that you've enjoyed? Like really genuinely thought, that's nice. Is it, is it less than a hundred?

• 16:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, definitely less than a hundred.

• 16:55Jonny?

  But you have one every day?

• 16:57Speaker 01

  Mm hmm. So.

• 17:00Chris Williamson?

  There'll be one more after, there'll be one more after that bear balls though.

• 17:02Speaker 01

  Well, I, well, I'm currently on the hunt for a new brand of protein. I want something that actually tastes nice. So if you guys have any suggestions, like I'm happy to pay.

• 17:09Jonny?

  I feel like you're the man with the, with the answer.

• 17:11Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:11Jonny?

  I don't know why I think.

• 17:12Chris Williamson?

  So Protein Works, some of their stuff's real good. They've got some great flavours.

• 17:15Speaker 01

  I don't want to go for some generic brand. I want like some.

• 17:18Jonny?

  Genetic, genetic supplements.

• 17:19Speaker 01

  Something like that.

• 17:20Chris Williamson?

  Nutrition or something like that. I don't get it. Like it's just protein.

• 17:24Jonny?

  Yeah, I agree.

• 17:24Chris Williamson?

  It is ju, it's such a transaction. Um, definitely, and I've said this to Protein Works, despite the fact they support the podcast. The best protein I've found at the moment is Bulk Powder's Beef Isolate.

• 17:41Speaker 01

  Does it taste beefy at all?

• 17:43Chris Williamson?

  Chocolate, just pure chocolate, the best chocolate ever. But there's no, there's not a single smidge of da, of dairy in it. And it's isolate, so it's super thin. My protein do a beef, a normal beef, um, powder. It's like you have to punch it down.

• 17:59Jonny?

  Yeah, I can imagine.

• 18:00Chris Williamson?

  So like needy and thick and that, you could add maltadextrin in. Um, it's, I'll just give you.

• 18:07Jonny?

  Is it, is it?

• 18:08Speaker 01

  Take something and then try.

• 18:09Jonny?

  Is it nicer than a normal whey? Or is it nice because you, you're trying to not have whey?

• 18:14Chris Williamson?

  Taste wise.

• 18:15Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 18:16Chris Williamson?

  It depends. So I've really developed a taste for it. I enjoy the taste of that particular.

• 18:21Jonny?

  Right.

• 18:22Chris Williamson?

  Shake now. And the fact that I don't get even the slightest amount of stomach discomfort, which I was getting really bad from way.

• 18:29Jonny?

  Do you get bloated?

• 18:31Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, bloated, just uncomfortable. Then I switched to varying degrees of diet way, isolate, da, da, da, da. Still bad. Then switched to my proteins, beef still wasn't too good because it was so thick. This gelatinous glob of like this cylinder of just material that's going down.

• 18:53Chris Williamson?

  You know, when you have to unblock a drain, you put Mr Muscle drain and block it down. You see that bit of hair that's been launched in there, just move. That's what it was like. And then this is brilliant, man. So if you're buying flavoured things, get chocolate as a safe.

• 19:09Jonny?

  And that, that greens powder, like if you, if you, if you're one of the, so I'm one of these people who always thinks. Like, there's not, there's no reason why I shouldn't just have a greens powder. Like, isn't it, you know, I haven't not had a greens powder in as long as I can remember now.

• 19:20Chris Williamson?

  Right, well, so do you just have it plain on its own? Tropical protein works, then it's fine.

• 19:26Jonny?

  And you think it's all right?

• 19:27Chris Williamson?

  Half a glass of water, totally fine.

• 19:29Jonny?

  Do you have a greens powder?

• 19:30Speaker 01

  No, I've, I've got one, but it's expired and I'll throw it away.

• 19:34Jonny?

  Do you think there's no benefit?

• 19:35Speaker 01

  Protein veg powder that was like garlic and mushroom. And I'd mix it with, I'd, I'd have, I'd mix it with lucine and psyllium husk and then just try and drink it down. And because it's so pungent, you try and like make it concentrated and you'd be like.

• 19:52Speaker 01

  And so then you try and have it with like a pint of water and then you're like, actually, it's not diluted the flavour at all. It still tastes just as concentrated, but now I've just got more to have to drink. Awful.

• 20:01Chris Williamson?

  Wow, right.

• 20:03Speaker 01

  So I've, I've got quite a lot to get through today.

• 20:05Jonny?

  Let's do it, man. Let's get moving.

• 20:06Speaker 01

  We can always save some for next time.

• 20:07Jonny?

  You just do one now.

• 20:09Speaker 01

  Okay, well, because we've got quite a few suggested from.

• 20:11Chris Williamson?

  I want to stick to yours. I'm not having, I'm not having this crowd fun.

• 20:14Jonny?

  That's why everyone here is watching because of you.

• 20:16Speaker 01

  But well, this this is Paul Turner's Paul not small. He has said whenever something comes out, like an event comes out and tickets are six months in advance. Whether or not you can go, buy two. Because then you've bought one and then you can just invite someone later. You don't have to pick who it is, you don't have to arrange it, just closer to the time you can be like, oh, Darren Brown's coming to town, I've got two tickets, do you fancy going? And it's like.

• 20:43Jonny?

  That's a great tip, that.

• 20:44Speaker 01

  Absolutely.

• 20:45Chris Williamson?

  I've low key employed it myself previously and benefited from it. Brian Cox took my mum.

• 20:51Speaker 01

  Brilliant. Like you can always find someone to go with you to a cool event.

• 20:55Jonny?

  As long as it's good things.

• 20:56Speaker 01

  Well, yeah.

• 20:57Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, if it's something really weird, yeah.

• 20:59Speaker 01

  That you're really gonna have to try and convince someone to come with you.

• 21:01Chris Williamson?

  Guys, does anybody fancy going to the new Dungeons and Dragons launch?

• 21:06Speaker 01

  So if that's the case, then like, that's a really fundamental, like, you've got to reevaluate your friends, like, if there's nothing that you can.

• 21:11Chris Williamson?

  Oh, there's a Warhammer painting workshop happening in the back end of the town wall this week.

• 21:16Speaker 01

  So we have the monocle.

• 21:17Jonny?

  I think I'd go to both of those, but just out of intrigue, I'll probably not stay very long.

• 21:21Chris Williamson?

  Very voyeuristic for you, isn't it?

• 21:22Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 21:23Chris Williamson?

  Um, okay, right, this one, oh my god. So, send to Kindle extension for Chrome on MacBook. Wow.

• 21:35Speaker 01

  You're getting so into Kindle these days.

• 21:37Chris Williamson?

  Fuck, man.

• 21:38Jonny?

  So I've started using my Kindle.

• 21:39Chris Williamson?

  Paperwhite, paperwhite, yeah. So I love my Kindle, I don't like reading articles on my phone because phone, the way that I use my phone is very skittish, flicking around between apps, I'm in the rhythm of WhatsApp and Instagram and stuff, just it's it's how I operate on them, not good for deep reading. Laptop as well, it's just you've got to be at my desk, standing or sitting or doing whatever, kind of not, not for me. So Kindle now is a article reader as well.

• 22:11Chris Williamson?

  Previously, my solution to this was use Evernote Web Clipper, clip to Evernote, export as a HTML file, repurpose and export as a PDF, then use the send to Kindle.

• 22:22Jonny?

  Oh my god.

• 22:22Chris Williamson?

  It was so arduous, man. But I just wanted it because you need to have it so it looks nice on Kindle. So it needs to be in PDF, it needs to have converted, it needs to have stripped the formatting, it needs to have catch, you know, all of the different stuff. It was just ugly, real bad process. And then one day I just Googled, is there a send to Kindle? There is a send to Kindle extension for Chrome that you can search now, it'll be in the show notes below. And you just press one button, previews the whole thing, makes it the perfect size, allows you to zoom in and out with the font size that your preferences are. On your Kindle Paperwhite, you can edit before it sends in browser, you can edit the title and the author of the article that you're talking about in case sometimes it doesn't pull through the right, quite the right metadata.

• 23:05Chris Williamson?

  And it just sends it perfectly formatted to your Kindle instantly. Every Kindle device that you've got has that article.

• 23:13Jonny?

  As a, does it save it like in your library?

• 23:15Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, as a, in the cloud, every, so it'll be on Kindle on your phone, Kindle on you, whatever, man, it. And so I'm, as opposed to sending stuff to Pocket now, Pocket for me is low grade shit. Pocket is like sub five minute reads, sub 10 minute reads. But if I've got meditations on Moloch, hour and a half read this big monster of a blog post I've wanted to do. And I can just read it like a book and you can highlight passages that will save back out in, oh man, it's phenomenal. I haven't had, I haven't had something that's changed the workflow and improved my life that much in ages, send to Kindle for Chrome.

• 23:51Jonny?

  So the problem I always have with like, because you have Toby and Pocket, like all these things to like, delay the time you're going to read something. What I've never really had is a time when I would definitely read it. But something that I do is re, or only very recently, just read a bit of my Kindle in the morning. Because it means I don't have to use my phone or my laptop or anything. So if I can take something from that and read it then.

• 24:14Speaker 01

  So I think quite, quite a good solution to that is either like, attach it to a thing that you do that, I, I guess like you haven't got a long commute or anything, so it doesn't apply for that. But. I find morning when I'm getting up, brushing teeth, making a tea or whatever, is it the first sort of ten fifteen minutes? Great time for just opening either Pocket, Evernote, something like that, swiping down with two fingers from the top of the iPhone. And then it just reads the article. So it's like an audiobook or just listening to an actual audiobook in that time. So I wonder whether.

• 24:48Chris Williamson?

  So you're saying while you're like, while you're waking up, you're like, listen to something.

• 24:52Speaker 01

  Or if there's any like dead time, where I guess if you're waiting for food in the microwave or something like that.

• 24:56Chris Williamson?

  That's something we might not have touched on before. We're going back to an old one there, but Pocket, which is a read later saving app on mobile. Has a function where for maybe about sixty percent of articles, you can just press the headphones at the bottom of it. And it'll just read an article that you've saved.

• 25:13Speaker 01

  They changed the voice, which is a shame.

• 25:14Chris Williamson?

  I haven't done it in, I haven't used it.

• 25:16Speaker 01

  Oh, it it used to be a great voice and now it's this weird American like uh digital sounding.

• 25:21Chris Williamson?

  It was really accurate previously. Anyway, Johnny, you're up.

• 25:25Chris Williamson?

  What you got?

• 25:25Jonny?

  Uh.

• 25:26Chris Williamson?

  You got.

• 25:27Jonny?

  I mean, which one to pick? So you got Ben and Jerry's Muforia.

• 25:33Chris Williamson?

  Is this one of those low calorie?

• 25:35Jonny?

  It is, but so low calorie ice creams are like all the.

• 25:38Speaker 01

  Ten a penny at the moment.

• 25:39Jonny?

  This this sort of thing won't matter to you guys because you'll just eat the normal ice cream and still not gain weight. But for people who are like in the in the Halo Top crew, like Halo Top compact, so Halo Top is between. Two hundred and eighty, let's say four hundred calories a tub.

• 25:55Chris Williamson?

  Mm hmm.

• 25:56Jonny?

  Muforia is slightly higher, so it's around six hundred, seven hundred calories a tub, but it's way, way more than a proportional increase in taste for the increase in calories.

• 26:03Chris Williamson?

  Okay.

• 26:04Jonny?

  Like, I mean, it's Ben and Jerry's.

• 26:05Chris Williamson?

  Is it Muforia?

• 26:06Jonny?

  I think that's what that's.

• 26:08Chris Williamson?

  What's the flavour?

• 26:09Jonny?

  So that I think they only do like three or four. It's like a caramel one, chocolate one.

• 26:13Chris Williamson?

  Hang on, so it's Muforia the.

• 26:15Jonny?

  It's a range they do.

• 26:16Chris Williamson?

  Okay.

• 26:16Jonny?

  So like they're all purple tubs.

• 26:18Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 26:18Jonny?

  So they have like some Ben and Jerry's flavours are just like a lower calorie version. They used to do a frozen yogurt like back in the day, like back in nineteen thousand and ten.

• 26:27Chris Williamson?

  Mm hmm.

• 26:28Jonny?

  They've stopped doing that and they've brought this out now. So.

• 26:30Chris Williamson?

  It's really good. How much of a tub do you need to eat to be satisfied? Because the problem I have with Halo Top.

• 26:37Jonny?

  Hmm.

• 26:38Chris Williamson?

  Is all well and good to tell me that it's only three hundred and fifty calories per tub, mate.

• 26:42Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 26:43Chris Williamson?

  But for me to be satisfied because it's mostly air, I have to.

• 26:47Jonny?

  Eat the whole thing.

• 26:48Chris Williamson?

  Eat the whole thing.

• 26:49Jonny?

  So I probably would still eat the whole thing.

• 26:54Chris Williamson?

  That's a big chunk of your calories for the day.

• 26:56Jonny?

  Not really.

• 26:57Speaker 01

  I think Chris's motto in life is eat the whole thing.

• 27:00Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 27:00Speaker 01

  Like that could be a.

• 27:01Jonny?

  That's why I like it.

• 27:02Speaker 01

  Coming from Mister Granola.

• 27:03Jonny?

  If I was gonna, if I was gonna not eat the whole thing, I'd just get normal ice cream and have a bit of it, but I just, I just don't think.

• 27:10Speaker 01

  Having that.

• 27:11Chris Williamson?

  That's how. What's in a normal tub of Ben and Jerry's, that twelve hundred plus? Yeah, so you're talking fifty percent off.

• 27:16Jonny?

  Yeah, and it, and I don't think, so I, I'm not like an ice cream connoisseur, but I don't think on a blind taste test.

• 27:24Chris Williamson?

  Be able to tell.

• 27:24Jonny?

  It maybe, maybe normal Ben and Jerry's is like way creamier.

• 27:28Speaker 01

  But it's close enough to be.

• 27:29Jonny?

  Is that, is that really?

• 27:31Chris Williamson?

  Diet Coke versus normal Coke?

• 27:33Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 27:35Chris Williamson?

  Actually, I prefer.

• 27:36Jonny?

  Yeah, Coke, so the, the later kind of Cokes that they've brought out.

• 27:39Chris Williamson?

  Pepsi Max.

• 27:39Jonny?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the other thing, which is a separate life hack is, I, which is related to this, is I, I'm far happier buying a serving of something that I know I can eat the whole thing of than feeling like I have to ration myself. So if I would, but if I were to go, if I were to want some biscuits and I have a pack of, a, a serving of three biscuits in a packet versus taking the three biscuits out of a packet and then putting the packet away, I get way more enjoyment out of, out of eating the whole pack of three than half or a portion of the pack of twelve.

• 28:11Speaker 01

  There's a huge amount of nutritional psychology in that, isn't there? Like, and, and they look at people who have the, people who tend to be the like natural weight gainers are the ones that will eat everything that's on their plate. Maybe from the way that we're acculturated or socialized when we're young to like, you've got to finish your whole plate, otherwise you're not getting any pudding. Like, there's, there's that and there's also the, like, we override our own satiety response because we're like, well, there's my plate, gotta finish it.

• 28:38Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, which is total arbitrary amount of food if you haven't served it, right? If mum's put this on your plate, the fact that that's the size of your plate.

• 28:45Speaker 01

  Mum's estimate.

• 28:46Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 28:46Speaker 01

  And actually now, canteens no longer are allowed to discriminate when, you know, when they look at like, big dude, they're like, oh, I'll give you an extra bit of chips. And they're not, now they have to just give people standard.

• 28:56Chris Williamson?

  Portion control.

• 28:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, so. Well, just because it's.

• 29:00Jonny?

  Someone got upset about it.

• 29:01Speaker 01

  Someone got upset.

• 29:02Jonny?

  Like, it was all fine.

• 29:03Chris Williamson?

  Someone with, I'll start getting someone with green hair.

• 29:05Jonny?

  Yeah, got annoyed about it.

• 29:06Chris Williamson?

  Did you see this article that's been shared around by Douglas Murray and some people recently saying, I'm a heterosexual woman who's politically opposed to heterosexuality, please help. So it's a.

• 29:18Speaker 01

  Politically opposed to it.

• 29:19Chris Williamson?

  So it's a woman.

• 29:20Speaker 01

  How can you be?

• 29:20Chris Williamson?

  So it's a woman who's a heterosexual woman who is sexually attracted to men, but hates the patriarchy, doesn't like the fact that heterosexual men objectify women. Um, so she is now trying to find a bi curious man on Grindr, who has woke politics, but will also fuck her. And this, this all came out recently.

• 29:44Speaker 01

  That's like, that's fine, you can do what you like, you know.

• 29:46Chris Williamson?

  The world's just getting turned upside down.

• 29:48Jonny?

  It sounds like she just needs like something better to do.

• 29:51Chris Williamson?

  Good Roger.

• 29:51Jonny?

  Yeah, yeah, like, just like a hobby or like a, you know, an interest that isn't just finding something.

• 29:59Chris Williamson?

  Just pick at. I've, I've tried to summarize your life hack as allow the manufacturer to do your portion control for you.

• 30:06Jonny?

  So, yes, I'm really behind that. Like, if all of my food came in a packet, and I could eat the whole thing, I'd be so happy about that.

• 30:15Chris Williamson?

  So you like discreet value, well, that's the element in you, isn't it?

• 30:18Jonny?

  I, it's the fat kid in me. I like to eat the whole packet. And if the whole packet is two and a half thousand calories with enough protein, I am so content.

• 30:29Speaker 01

  I don't think I've ever seen you like eat a meal and then say, there we go. I think, I think I've had enough that all I, I'll have a little bit more off someone else's plate and now I'm fine.

• 30:38Jonny?

  I used to have so many arguments with people when I was dieting where like we'd go out for a meal. And I'd, I'd be served a portion, I'd be like, fuck, I'm gonna go, my calories. And they go, why don't you just eat half of it?

• 30:49Speaker 01

  No, I can't do, yeah.

• 30:50Jonny?

  Stupid, what do you mean? Eat half it. Like, I'd far rather eat all of it and know where I am than have to eat half of it and guess. Like, if I eat ha- all of it, I'll be able to find the calories online and then I'll know I've had that many calories. If I eat half of it, it's not well. Did I have three kilograms?

• 31:04Chris Williamson?

  That's that that. You know that you're gonna put that amount in, you can just put naught point five servings.

• 31:10Jonny?

  I know, but it's less fun, isn't it?

• 31:11Chris Williamson?

  It is less fun.

• 31:12Jonny?

  There'll be people who who'll listen to this who think.

• 31:14Chris Williamson?

  I agree with that man there.

• 31:16Jonny?

  I just think.

• 31:17Chris Williamson?

  I agree with that man.

• 31:17Jonny?

  Eating all of something is a very satisfying way to just organise your day.

• 31:23Chris Williamson?

  Take accounting me.

• 31:24Jonny?

  Right, Youssef, where you go?

• 31:26Speaker 01

  Like, I bet you have a bit of the bag of granola, don't you? Oh, yeah, well, I.

• 31:30Chris Williamson?

  What do you mean a bag of granola, mate? You you can't finish boxes of cereal.

• 31:34Jonny?

  Why not? Because no one's made it yet.

• 31:36Chris Williamson?

  Because.

• 31:36Jonny?

  That's where the gap in the market is.

• 31:38Chris Williamson?

  Right, what is it? Is it your bag?

• 31:39Speaker 01

  This is the Nomo bag. These are incredible. I've had, I mean, it's looking a bit tatty now because I've had it for ten years. But they are designed with MacBooks in mind, so you can slip your little pink MacBook in there and it's got a special pocket, as you can probably see, that's lined with very MacBook friendly stuff. Um, this has been all around the world, just absolutely great for transporting your MacBook around. Um, because it.

• 32:13Speaker 01

  What is funny?

• 32:15Chris Williamson?

  Oh, please, can we try and get get on camera? What you won't have seen was just.

• 32:24Speaker 01

  Oh, the condoms. No, what?

• 32:33Speaker 01

  Oh, no.

• 32:39Speaker 01

  Well, I've really done it there.

• 32:44Chris Williamson?

  You just got a Mac, a MacBook.

• 32:50Speaker 01

  You've just got to have the essentials, but like, I, what what were you originally laughing at? Like. The croissants.

• 32:57Chris Williamson?

  See, in the bag, you have a MacBook, condoms and croissant.

• 33:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, and a stethoscope.

• 33:05Jonny?

  So your bag contains a pink MacBook.

• 33:08Chris Williamson?

  No, just don't make that sound on the night.

• 33:10Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah.

• 33:11Jonny?

  It was, as you explained, the the MacBook friendly compartment.

• 33:18Jonny?

  Chris and I just exchanged a glance of like.

• 33:21Speaker 01

  Not sure, I'm not sure.

• 33:23Chris Williamson?

  We both gave each other a look. Dean will be able to make it happen and we both just went.

• 33:28Speaker 01

  Um. So, do you wanna start?

• 33:31Chris Williamson?

  I ju- yeah, well, I think so what what I was confused by was I feel like that's a very common backpack backpack backpack backpack feature. That was why I looked.

• 33:42Speaker 01

  So nowadays, maybe back in ten years ago, when when the Nomo pioneered the.

• 33:46Chris Williamson?

  You you said.

• 33:47Speaker 01

  Called it.

• 33:49Chris Williamson?

  Made with MacBook in mind.

• 33:51Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 33:53Chris Williamson?

  I think that's a that's a big claim. Made with MacBook in mind.

• 33:57Speaker 01

  That that's their that's their shtick.

• 33:58Chris Williamson?

  Is it?

• 33:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, so.

• 33:59Chris Williamson?

  So is it a MacBook?

• 34:00Speaker 01

  And actually, one of our one of our clients, I was buying a new one, and I looked at the photo and I was like, oh, it's Freddie. And it was one of our clients who's a model, and he was modeling the bag.

• 34:10Chris Williamson?

  So man, it's a good looking bag and you've had it for forever, but I just I wish.

• 34:15Speaker 01

  You just don't believe.

• 34:15Chris Williamson?

  Man, so so, yeah. And the other thing, the other thing as well is you are with a man who has gone for the absolute Ferrari of backpacks here.

• 34:23Speaker 01

  No. Oh, yeah.

• 34:25Chris Williamson?

  The built for athletes one. Tool.

• 34:26Speaker 01

  Um.

• 34:27Chris Williamson?

  Oh, no, no.

• 34:30Chris Williamson?

  Tool is.

• 34:31Speaker 01

  So I used to have a tool, but now I have a built for athletes one.

• 34:34Chris Williamson?

  Oh, God, you're very CrossFit, aren't you?

• 34:36Speaker 01

  Well, I so the reason for that is, um, have you seen what's happened to the price of tool laptops? Laptop bags, yeah.

• 34:44Chris Williamson?

  Gone up.

• 34:45Speaker 01

  Insane.

• 34:46Chris Williamson?

  Well, they're ne- they are unbelievable.

• 34:47Speaker 01

  When I when I bought mine, it was sixty quid.

• 34:49Chris Williamson?

  Mm hmm.

• 34:50Speaker 01

  Now, that same bag is over two hundred quid.

• 34:53Chris Williamson?

  Wow.

• 34:54Speaker 01

  Yeah, and it broke the one I had. The zip went.

• 34:57Chris Williamson?

  You can tell. So what I like about tool is when you see someone walking through an airport with one arm, you're like, it's just someone.

• 35:04Speaker 01

  Sounds like you guys trying to speak Arabic when you're saying.

• 35:06Chris Williamson?

  Tool.

• 35:07Speaker 01

  Tool.

• 35:08Chris Williamson?

  How do you say?

• 35:08Speaker 01

  How's it spelled?

• 35:09Chris Williamson?

  T H U L E.

• 35:10Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 35:12Chris Williamson?

  How would you pronounce that?

• 35:13Speaker 01

  Thuel.

• 35:15Chris Williamson?

  Bless you.

• 35:17Chris Williamson?

  Fuck, I can't believe that there was condoms in your bag and we weren't even laughing about it.

• 35:20Speaker 01

  I can't believe that it was it was MacBook condoms, croissant, stethoscope.

• 35:24Chris Williamson?

  In that order.

• 35:25Speaker 01

  The essentials.

• 35:27Chris Williamson?

  I also really like how your idea of a portable snack is pastry.

• 35:33Speaker 01

  Well, it was a double pack.

• 35:35Chris Williamson?

  Cause you often pull out like the plastic packet of like a pan of raisin. There'll be a pan of raisin, you've had one earlier.

• 35:44Chris Williamson?

  Cause he doesn't finish all of the things. Right. See, I would have eaten both of them immediately.

• 35:47Speaker 01

  Cause it's just like.

• 35:48Chris Williamson?

  Immediately.

• 35:48Speaker 01

  Off the box.

• 35:49Chris Williamson?

  Well, cause it's like.

• 35:50Speaker 01

  A thousand calories just.

• 35:51Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, yeah. I've, I've collected some of these over a little while and some of them are real good, but they've been fully integrated into my life that the novelty's worn off. That's, that's, that's when you know that they're good because they've stayed the course. Citymapper?

• 36:05Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 36:07Chris Williamson?

  I think I know what that is, but fucking hell. So any big city.

• 36:11Speaker 01

  How do you survive without it?

• 36:12Chris Williamson?

  Without Citymapper, yeah. So it's essentially, it's kind of like Google Maps meets Trainline.com meets the bus timetable. You put your location of where you are now and where you want to go in and it will give you all of the different options of how to get there. Do you want to hail a cab? Do you want to get a, a mobile bike, a Lime scooter thing? Do you want to do a combination of walking and tube, walking in overground train? Do you just want to walk the whole thing? And you just choose. And then once you press go on your chosen route, especially if you're taking the tube, it's linked in with the tube timetable. So it tells you what time, what platform you need to go on, or you need to go northbound or turn right when you get to the thing.

• 36:55Chris Williamson?

  And it downloads it offline so that when you're underground in the tube, it will know when you go and all you do is swipe right when you've got to the next thing. It even knows the timing based on when it thinks the tube would have arrived and comes up on your phone saying you probably need to get off now. Like when it, when it thinks you're at the next stop, then you get off and you keep on. So that's not GPS based, that's time based.

• 37:19Speaker 01

  It's a very clever app. Like in, in, it's nice having seen it grow over the years, like.

• 37:24Chris Williamson?

  Well, have you been, have you been an old user?

• 37:25Speaker 01

  Yeah. So it used to be relatively rudimentary and only have like one or two cities. And now it's just like includes, yeah. Uber, cycling, Barclays bike things, uh, walking estimates, like all the different methods. And it just like tells you like, okay, that's the quickest, that's the cheapest. Here's how long the law takes.

• 37:45Chris Williamson?

  That's, this is how many calories it'll expend?

• 37:46Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:47Chris Williamson?

  Even tells you how many calories you'll expend by doing each route. Man, it's, it's unreal. Is it, is it, is there like a paid version? I'm just wondering like. I think it's ads. Right. Think it must be ads, be an ad now. Free me. Free me, um. Right, Johnny, what you got?

• 38:02Jonny?

  Here's me, uh, this is a journaling thing for those people who do journaling, which I think is both.

• 38:10Chris Williamson?

  And video gardeners.

• 38:12Jonny?

  And indeed.

• 38:12Speaker 01

  V X D.

• 38:13Jonny?

  So there's a, a lot of journals do like daily wins, daily gratitude, all that sort of thing. Something that I recently, it was kind of suggested I try was journal one thing that went badly in the day. So journal like the worst thing that happened and then try and flip it. So like, why is that? Why is it a good thing that that happened? And then what am I going to do about it tomorrow? And it's just constant evolution of you take the, take the, the worst part of your day and try and reframe it.

• 38:46Chris Williamson?

  Can you give us some examples of things that you've written?

• 38:51Jonny?

  I mean, it's so, it'll be all.

• 38:53Chris Williamson?

  Tiny.

• 38:53Jonny?

  Propane, very specific things.

• 38:55Speaker 01

  But saying, you're right, like finishing that with this is good because and then forcing yourself to come up with a.

• 39:01Jonny?

  Cause there's always, you know, like, you know, the Jocko Willink video, you know, good, like reload. There's all, there is always something good.

• 39:08Chris Williamson?

  But I think there's, uh, had a training session, um, where I was underslept and under eaten. Perfectly fine. I learned how, uh, I was able to get through a session under non-perfect circumstances.

• 39:20Jonny?

  Yeah, yeah. So like any, an argument that you had or something that went wrong, like injured my back, like, why is that good? Well, it's an opportunity to warm up properly in future or et cetera. So it's.

• 39:32Chris Williamson?

  Got injured.

• 39:32Jonny?

  It's a good.

• 39:33Chris Williamson?

  Last year battalion, brilliant.

• 39:36Jonny?

  Jocko, not everything's fucking good. So Ben, Ben shared something with me that, um, has ruined Jocko for me forever.

• 39:45Chris Williamson?

  Oh, wow.

• 39:46Jonny?

  So you know how Jocko's Instagram's like just photos of his four AM, four AM, he's watching.

• 39:50Speaker 01

  Takes them in batch and then shit.

• 39:52Jonny?

  No, it's not that. It's a video of him. And then the other thing is a photo of the sweat on the floor.

• 39:57Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 39:57Jonny?

  Aftermath.

• 39:58Chris Williamson?

  A single kettlebell.

• 40:00Jonny?

  It was a, it was a video of him doing chin ups and training in his garage. And you realise like, it's just a guy in like his fifties training and it's just not.

• 40:09Chris Williamson?

  The spectral form.

• 40:10Jonny?

  It's not at all impressive. And it, and it's like, you're like, oh.

• 40:14Chris Williamson?

  Is it bad pull up form?

• 40:15Jonny?

  Like, it's okay, but you imagine this like.

• 40:18Chris Williamson?

  Hulking mass.

• 40:20Jonny?

  Like square draw, Navy SEAL, like ripping it up, but actually it's like.

• 40:25Chris Williamson?

  And it's just ruined.

• 40:26Speaker 01

  His mate is massive though. What's his name?

• 40:29Chris Williamson?

  Black guy.

• 40:30Speaker 01

  David Goggins? No, it's not David Goggins. No, you mean David Goggins. Charlie, it was like Charlie or something. Goggins.

• 40:38Chris Williamson?

  No, I don't know, I don't think you mean. I know the one that you mean.

• 40:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, he does the podcast with him. He's like.

• 40:42Chris Williamson?

  Oh, David.

• 40:43Speaker 01

  David Goggins.

• 40:46Speaker 01

  So, okay, rapid fire round. These are the suggestions. Buy loose bananas instead of packs for less waste at various levels of ripeness. That's from Paul McGurran. Very clever. So you you buy a range of bananas ranging from the most ripe and then like as the week goes on.

• 41:03Chris Williamson?

  So you never get caught out?

• 41:04Speaker 01

  You have a conveyor belt. Very good. Uh, page powerlifts. We're not a fan of this one. Sorry, Tom. Drive ten miles per hour slower on the motorway.

• 41:13Chris Williamson?

  So that implies you are.

• 41:14Speaker 01

  Fuel economy.

• 41:15Chris Williamson?

  You're driving too fast, in which like, in which case, like, obviously, you you might get a ticket. There's a risk with that.

• 41:22Speaker 01

  To be honest, I probably do need to do that because I I think like it just takes out the rushing mindset.

• 41:26Chris Williamson?

  Well, I think you you tend to get in a lot of car crashes.

• 41:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 41:30Chris Williamson?

  You like, you love a good, a good bump, don't you?

• 41:33Speaker 01

  I'd love a good bump. So, yeah, I need to maybe just slow down a bit. Nick Montes, hi. Uh, Simon Robertson, preload multiple bin bags in the bin, so in case of a split bag, the mess is contained.

• 41:45Chris Williamson?

  It's not bad.

• 41:47Speaker 01

  Windscreen cover for your car in the winter, costs ten pounds, saves thirty minutes, better ROI than a shoe. He's followed up with horn.

• 41:56Chris Williamson?

  No car windscreen, takes thirty minutes to clear.

• 41:59Speaker 01

  Yeah. It's not thirty minutes of active effort as well.

• 42:01Chris Williamson?

  There's always the, there's always the break glass in case of emergency of having lukewarm water. And I know it might crack your windscreen, but if you've got to get somebody, you've got to get somebody.

• 42:08Speaker 01

  So, so you know, I actually saw people opposite my house, um, fill up a freezer, like run into the house, fill up a freezer bag with hot water. Run out and like, use it to.

• 42:19Chris Williamson?

  Drape it across?

• 42:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, so they like draped it and cleared the windscreen.

• 42:22Chris Williamson?

  If, if you've got life hack, I know that, I know that Youssef is, is deploying some that he's been sent here by people that follow the propane Instagram. If you have any life hacks, put them in the show notes below, uh, sorry, put them in the comments below on YouTube or just message them to me and I'll feature them next time if they're not shit.

• 42:40Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 42:41Chris Williamson?

  But if it's drive slower.

• 42:44Chris Williamson?

  You're not getting on it.

• 42:45Speaker 01

  So, well, one of these has to win our ebook. So the final two, Pete Cullen, beard apron dash collects all the hair. I imagine that's like a, a device that you are.

• 42:58Chris Williamson?

  Have you seen it? Yeah. So it's like you wear this necklace around the back of your neck and it's a sheet of material that then goes in as suction cups that go on to the, uh, I see, uh, mirror, mirror.

• 43:08Speaker 01

  Okay. So if someone comes in the bathroom and sees you, they're just like.

• 43:12Chris Williamson?

  What are you doing? Is the final one good?

• 43:14Speaker 01

  Monzo linked to if this, then that automatically save money every day. I'd like to see how you implement that, Pete, cause that could be quite good.

• 43:22Chris Williamson?

  I think I know which Pete that is.

• 43:23Speaker 01

  Ramit Sethi is a big fan of automating your finances. I think if you don't do that, you're a willy because bills don't need to be paid manually.

• 43:32Chris Williamson?

  Oh God, direct, just direct debit, everything.

• 43:36Speaker 01

  It's, it's like going back to a manual car now, like thinking, oh, I've got to now, I have to think about manually changing the transmission of my car as I change speed. Like, why is that ever a human?

• 43:45Chris Williamson?

  Requirement. There are some people, some coaches that I've worked with that have, that have billed me manually with an invoice.

• 43:51Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 43:52Chris Williamson?

  Like, fuck. Just, see, I just sabadari debit.

• 43:56Speaker 01

  So I think my favourite out of them is the bananas.

• 43:59Chris Williamson?

  Banana ones. Yeah. Bananas, banana made it. By Ranger Black Bananas has made it onto the Lifehacks thing, all the other ones. Can't do that with apples, can you? I prefer an apple to a banana, personally.

• 44:08Speaker 01

  Having a really overripe apple is horrible as well.

• 44:12Chris Williamson?

  Is that when it's soft?

• 44:13Speaker 01

  When it's a bit wrinkly, wrinkly, like.

• 44:15Chris Williamson?

  Fuck you.

• 44:18Chris Williamson?

  Okay. So my next one is improve your email signature. So I had a terrible email signature. It was all that.

• 44:31Chris Williamson?

  If this, this message is for the intended recipient, if we scan our viruses, it's not a thing. Think of the environment before you print it. Mate, who the fuck has, no one's, if someone gets infected with a virus, because you've sent it to them, they're not going to go, oh, well, he had that disclaimer on the bottom that said, voodoo events do all they can to try and scan for viruses. Please be.

• 44:51Speaker 01

  It's like what people put on YouTube, no copyright infringement intended. You're like, I don't think.

• 44:55Chris Williamson?

  Oh, yeah, mate, because DCMS are gonna really be worried about that. Then I'm gonna crack down on you because you've stolen a load of Michael Jackson music because of that. So my email signature went through um and just cut it down to the bare minimum, which also includes names. So I never have to say, thanks, Chris now, which I kind of was doing before because it was obviously clunky. That then create the email signature on Gmail.

• 45:24Chris Williamson?

  hyperlink the text so you can create, select the text. So it says Philly Nightclubs at Voodoo Newcastle, Voodoo Newcastle links to our website.

• 45:32Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 45:32Chris Williamson?

  Host of Modern Wisdom Podcast, Modern Wisdom Links. Then you can copy and paste that across into Notes. Copy and paste that out of Notes into your email signature section on iPhone and it will retain the hyperlinks as well.

• 45:47Speaker 01

  Right.

• 45:48Chris Williamson?

  And all of the formatting.

• 45:49Speaker 01

  You've also got the quote below and you're like, tis better to have loved and lost than never loved.

• 45:54Chris Williamson?

  Mine's, it, it, that was last week. It's live, laugh, love now.

• 45:56Speaker 01

  Live, laugh, love, yeah.

• 45:58Chris Williamson?

  Good, good memory.

• 46:00Speaker 01

  I love, it's, it's like, it's my favourite type of, I know people don't frap anymore, but putting a really inane quote that like is like pseudo inspirational that you'd imagine on like some, someone's Instagram, like with like text and like a.

• 46:15Chris Williamson?

  Jordan Peterson's, Jordan Peterson's personal email address has the truth will set you free. I'm not kidding.

• 46:20Speaker 01

  Oh, Jordan.

• 46:23Chris Williamson?

  Anyway.

• 46:23Jonny?

  Mine's just on my Apple Mail. Like when I select the email account I want to mail from, it brings up the signature.

• 46:28Speaker 01

  Johann Arthur Blobsen.

• 46:29Jonny?

  Exactly.

• 46:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 46:30Jonny?

  That's why, yeah. That I, I have heard that it's, I can't remember who it was, it was like, if you, if you sell anything, put the URL.

• 46:39Speaker 01

  Seven hour.

• 46:40Jonny?

  It's seven twenty now. Put the URL in the signature and then people, like, it's just free traffic.

• 46:46Chris Williamson?

  It's, it's the most free traffic.

• 46:47Jonny?

  The trouble with that is we email a lot of customers and I don't want customers back in the front end. That's the worst, that's my worst nightmare. All the work I've had to do to segment and split them off in the right place and then I email them.

• 46:59Speaker 01

  And they re-opted.

• 46:59Chris Williamson?

  Tracking them, yeah.

• 47:01Speaker 01

  Oh, God.

• 47:02Chris Williamson?

  Right, Johnny, Johnny.

• 47:03Jonny?

  Johnny, um, so this is a bit of a theme.

• 47:09Jonny?

  That I've been trying to do um this year. So kind of like my new year thing was to um which is influenced from a guy called Sam Ovens, who I know you're a massive fan of. Sam Ovens. Um but just the idea of, so what I what I've always historically done is um with any of my like self improvement or habits or anything like that. And this is the but I think this is the best way to find life hacks is I've typically had like weekends where I'll wake up late or do things a bit differently or like I'll modify my days a bit. But I've tried as much as possible to wake up at the same time every day. So like I'm like a minute out since like the fifth of January or whatever. Go to bed same time every day, train the same days of the same week at the same time, eat at the same time.

• 47:53Jonny?

  So you just create this like framework over your day. It is the same every time. So you start to feel hungry at the same time, you start to feel tired at the same time. And then my morning routine is exactly the same and I've got it down to an hour. So I I mean, I know you were chatting about this last time, like if you know, so I know that by eight A M I'm done. Go downstairs, coffee, feed Dexter, Becca walks Dexter, go upstairs, cold shower, start work by this time. Everything, everything in your life is so much easier. Cause like you aren't, what Sam says is like, you're not fighting hormones. Like you're not fighting like randomly feeling hungry at ten A M because you ate on yesterday, not randomly feeling tired at nine thirty. But when you've got that running, so like pop that the life hack is one, rather than trying to do.

• 48:38Jonny?

  Well, I think most people do is they're like, right, now's the time I'm going to improve myself. I'm going to pick this really complicated thing and try and stick to it. Pick like the most basic bitch version and do it perfectly for like fourteen days. And then try and pick the little optimization points. What's an example of that? So the guy you interviewed, the efficiencies everything guy, spoke about like write out your morning routine, for example, and then look for little ways you can make it better. So rather than like, I'm going to wake up and stretch and journal and read and exercise and have a protein shake, like pick like three things or one thing that you know you're going to be able to do and prove it to yourself that for fourteen days I'm never going to miss. Then add one thing in. And when you just, when you have that, you can spot like actually

• 49:22Jonny?

  like I could add this and that would make that a lot a little bit better, a little bit quicker. Like I'll brush my teeth then, actually that's another one. So.

• 49:32Speaker 01

  So to to add to that then, the the thing that this guy talked about, and he used the example of what Henry Ford's uh first public speech about his manufacturing process.

• 49:45Jonny?

  That was my example. Is it like when he gets undressed?

• 49:48Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 49:48Jonny?

  That's my example. Don't give it to him.

• 49:50Speaker 01

  Oh, God, okay.

• 49:51Jonny?

  Motherfucker.

• 49:51Speaker 01

  Well, well, sorry, Chris's example of where he, rather than um doing up his shirt from top to bottom and then putting his tie on, it was put the shirt buttons on from bottom to top. And then his hands are already in the same spot to do the tie. And although that sounds like a silly thing, when it's when it's Henry Ford and that's scaled over a manufacturing process for a car, it's like.

• 50:14Jonny?

  You get the Ford Motor Company?

• 50:16Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 50:16Jonny?

  That's what you get.

• 50:17Speaker 01

  That's what you get.

• 50:17Jonny?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 50:18Speaker 01

  And so the idea of like batching your tasks so that you have your toothbrush and floss in the shower. You wake up, you turn the shower on, you go and boil the kettle, you come back, clothes off in the shower. You wash your.

• 50:37Jonny?

  It's shampoo and then you let you let the soap.

• 50:39Speaker 01

  That's it. So you wash your body from top to bottom.

• 50:41Jonny?

  Hmm.

• 50:42Speaker 01

  Rather than like lather up the lower parts of your body and then try and work up and then you've got.

• 50:46Jonny?

  Hmm.

• 50:46Speaker 01

  More cleaning to do.

• 50:47Jonny?

  I think that that I know I know it's sounds so basic, like I nearly didn't say it, because like to say like, just do the same thing every day, sounds so.

• 50:53Speaker 01

  But it's it's actually very hard when you're self-employed as well and there's no.

• 50:57Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 50:57Speaker 01

  Limits on your time.

• 50:58Jonny?

  Framework. So I I know my shower is ten minutes long. There's a very specific reason why it's seven minutes long. Because I'm progressively adding cold to the end of it. But like, I know pretty much within a five minute window when I'm starting work. And so then I know when I'll finish work.

• 51:12Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 51:13Jonny?

  And it just, everything is is so much easier. And there'll be people who are like, yeah, obviously, mate.

• 51:18Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 51:18Jonny?

  But like, how many people lie in on the weekend because they think that that's improving their sleep? When actually, it almost certainly isn't. So just try that.

• 51:27Chris Williamson?

  That's really, really helped me.

• 51:30Speaker 01

  That's, that is great. And I, so I think that principle can apply to a lot of work as well, which is like, and this is where Gantt charts come in, where if you're not aware of what a Gantt chart is, is where you have multiple streams or um strands of a, of a process, all happening in parallel. And then you've got to see which ones are bottlenecked by other ones. So which one is required before you can do the next one? Which ones need to be started and then left to run on their own and don't require further input, but you need to wait for them. And basically, what can you look at within a large project that you can set all these dominos off? Go away and do something else rather than sit and wait for that domino to fall and then come back to it.

• 52:11Speaker 01

  You'll find you can compress quite a lot of tasks into it. So it's like going to a lift, people come in the lift, you fart then. Get out of the lift, like it's, it's perfect rather than farting at the beginning of you.

• 52:23Chris Williamson?

  A perfect, a perfect way to put that. You do not need a Gantt chart to make this work. You can do it quite easily just off your own back. But a perfect example of that is if you're going to sit down and do a morning routine and you have a coffee as a part of your morning routine, make the coffee at the beginning and allow it to cool throughout.

• 52:38Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah.

• 52:39Chris Williamson?

  And it means that the cooling is a, is a process which has to occur. You might as well allow yourself to do other things whilst I bet when you have coffee, you probably make your coffee before the shower.

• 52:49Speaker 01

  So the, the most frustrating part of my morning routine at the moment is between waking up and like starting my, so the first thing I do is I'll read. It's the, it's like the lowest kind of effort thing to do. But I'm just so like, even though I'm getting like seven and a half hours of sleep, seven and a half hours of sleep, I'll wake up, I'm a bit slow. So, but, but this is the thing, that's kind of what I mean. Like what I'm looking for now is what can I do to kind of jog me away. So that's what I'm gonna add.

• 53:14Chris Williamson?

  In ten minutes.

• 53:15Speaker 01

  So this is, this is why I bought a fifty quid trampoline.

• 53:20Chris Williamson?

  I'm so ready for that. Stop the podcast. Stop the podcast. I think that deserves just reversing the order of the. Yeah, thank you.

• 53:27Jonny?

  Just put that at the beginning. What? So, you know, rebound a trampoline. Do you know what I mean? Like a small trampoline.

• 53:34Chris Williamson?

  I know what a small trampoline is.

• 53:35Jonny?

  So a small trampoline. So imagine a small trampoline. I am that. Bought one of those. The reason is, um, I know that when I, so like you, you mentioned you go for a walk first thing. Right? Don't really want to do that because I do that anyway with Dexter about an hour or so later. Don't really want to train because I typically feel like overall worse. Thought about doing like, I could do burpees or like, if I move, it might like get my blood flowing. But like realistically, who is going to wake up and do burpees? No one. So get on a trampoline, bounce. You get off a trampoline. Firstly, it's way harder than you think, like way harder than you think.

• 54:16Jonny?

  Secondly, there's not really any physical impact at all other than.

• 54:22Chris Williamson?

  So just to recap, you've bought a trampoline.

• 54:26Jonny?

  Yes.

• 54:27Chris Williamson?

  Like.

• 54:28Jonny?

  Like a, if you imagine a big trampoline.

• 54:30Chris Williamson?

  It's a little one.

• 54:31Jonny?

  Smaller one.

• 54:31Chris Williamson?

  Yes. And you're going to, that's going to be your thing.

• 54:34Jonny?

  I am doing that.

• 54:35Chris Williamson?

  Bounce.

• 54:35Jonny?

  I've been, yeah.

• 54:36Chris Williamson?

  Okay.

• 54:36Jonny?

  Bounce.

• 54:37Chris Williamson?

  So the Biohacker's Handbook suggests that.

• 54:41Jonny?

  Don't say not bouncing on a trampoline.

• 54:43Chris Williamson?

  Uh, it doesn't bring up that specific, surprisingly, it doesn't actually have any tips about that. What it does say is going upside down. So inversion. So that might be worth trying. You could alternate, you could do a trampoline one day.

• 54:55Jonny?

  To be honest, I'd be well up for that.

• 54:56Chris Williamson?

  So.

• 54:58Chris Williamson?

  No, no, no, no. So it's, you need to be upside down with hands on ground. So you'd kick up onto a wall like you would have used to have done in CrossFit.

• 55:06Jonny?

  I struggle, Chris, to get into a handstand. Like the chance of me getting into a handstand at 10 to 17.

• 55:11Chris Williamson?

  This is how you'll, this is how you'll get your domain of competence up so you can do it. But, um. I think you're very physically capable of it. Yes. And it's not, it's not to do a press. It's just to go into a handstand like a.

• 55:20Jonny?

  And that just gets the blood down to your head.

• 55:22Chris Williamson?

  That's precisely what it's doing. Yeah. Um, and hyperextension. A little bit, yeah, I did it when I was 13. Good note. Um, yeah, it's because first thing in the morning, your adenosine receptors aren't active. That's why you don't need caffeine within the first 90 minutes. So your adrenal system is what's active that. And what's the stress hormone?

• 55:43Speaker 01

  Cortisol.

• 55:44Jonny?

  Cortisol, I guess that's what wakes you up in the morning, right? Um, so adrenal system gets activated, salt, lemon water and going upside down. My god. I'm gonna do it. I mean, that's your sort of dream. You're upside down just for fun.

• 55:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's true. I I just love being upside down, so I'm gonna start doing that.

• 56:01Jonny?

  Do you prefer being upside down to being the right way up?

• 56:04Speaker 01

  It's it's really meditative and a lot of, a lot of really advanced handstanders, like, become very, like, they they all describe it as a very meditative experience. I think it's because, like, you know, the Zen things of like balancing stones or it's just that, like, you you're totally focused on maintaining your line. And it's, it does just like.

• 56:22Jonny?

  So it feels like it's, it it would be beneficial. It's just, it's just more shoulder load, isn't it? More like stability. There's a lot of you going through your arms as well. Yeah, it's hard.

• 56:30Speaker 01

  It's hard. Holding a hundred kilo.

• 56:31Jonny?

  A hundred kilo or overhead press. Um, so I've put yours down as eat, sleep and train at the same time. Add habits in. Progress, yeah. So like, once you've got that, like, once you're running and and kind of doing that consistently, then looking for like, how can I improve this? That's where your habits are. So it's like.

• 56:50Speaker 01

  Minimum viable product on.

• 56:51Jonny?

  Yeah, it's like, so before you're like, how can I make my three hour morning routine? Think like, well, why don't I wake up at the same time you're there for five days and then start to slowly add things in? So just adding on to that, I didn't know that there's a a rationale behind it, but I've always found first coffee of the day, decaf. So the coffee I have in the morning, like while I'm doing my morning routines, decaf. I don't have a caffeine till eight or nine. I just feel better that way.

• 57:17Speaker 01

  What time are you waking up?

• 57:18Jonny?

  Ten, s- s- six fifty. Okay. Between six forty nine and six fifty one.

• 57:24Speaker 01

  I love that there's a window that's that tight.

• 57:26Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 57:27Speaker 01

  But still a window.

• 57:28Jonny?

  Well, you know, I'm only human, Chris.

• 57:30Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 57:31Jonny?

  Youssef.

• 57:32Speaker 01

  Speaking of making these little optimizations and, you know, do it in like a social situation where you you might have met people that when they introduce themselves and they say their name and they kind of mumble it or they say it in a weird way or like they've got a name like. Iona and they go, I'm gonna say Iona, what's something, and you're like, what, like. And so something I'd like both of your advice on is when you're doing a rectal exam on someone. You're, the typical thing that people say is can you bear down on my finger? And most people are like, they don't understand. But then if you say squeeze my finger, sometimes they'll, they'll try and reach around and try and squeeze your finger.

• 58:13Speaker 01

  So Mike has res- resorted to saying, imagine you're mid poo and you have to quickly nip it off and. But, but I think saying, starting a sentence with imagine, it's too involved.

• 58:27Jonny?

  So, so just to get, while you were describing that, basically I tried to bear down with my bum, I was like, what would I do? And I squeezed my glutes.

• 58:35Speaker 01

  But some people think that's flex, some think it's relaxed, like.

• 58:38Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, cause Sienna Day would say, push your asshole out.

• 58:43Speaker 01

  But that's as if you're gonna have a, have a poo, isn't it? And the only, the other one that I've heard one person use, terrible, is imagine you're trying to suck a straw through your bum.

• 58:53Jonny?

  I think that's brilliant.

• 58:55Chris Williamson?

  There's a lot of glute activation going on while they're trying.

• 58:57Jonny?

  So, but so one, the, the first one of like bear down, I think, I think hip thrust.

• 59:02Speaker 01

  Ah, okay.

• 59:03Jonny?

  Whereas when you say nip off the poo, I'm like, yeah, I know exactly what he means. I know exactly what he means.

• 59:07Speaker 01

  Cause squeeze my finger, remember like you, this is people who like, if you say squeeze my finger and they're not, might be a bit confused, might be a bit delirious. They were, you've got to give them the most.

• 59:15Chris Williamson?

  They're also laid on their side on a medical examination bed with their pants around their knees, with a finger at the bum.

• 59:22Speaker 01

  So, so you can't be too.

• 59:24Chris Williamson?

  What's your solution?

• 59:25Jonny?

  And what's the question? Cause you initially said someone called Iona and now we're talking about.

• 59:29Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, why is this remembering your name?

• 59:30Speaker 01

  I think try and nip off my finger is.

• 59:32Chris Williamson?

  What did Iona have to do?

• 59:34Speaker 01

  Or if you've got like, I don't know, what, what's a, a name that doesn't work well with my name is or I am.

• 59:41Chris Williamson?

  What's that got to do with the rectal exam?

• 59:43Speaker 01

  Cause it's, that, that's one of the optimizations. That's like something that you do a lot, well, something I do a lot.

• 59:48Jonny?

  Oh, I see, like improving a sentence.

• 59:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, and then that optimizes it over time. So looking at the things that you do and.

• 59:57Jonny?

  Maybe just like, try and stop pooing.

• 1:00:02Speaker 01

  I'm not pooing.

• 1:00:03Chris Williamson?

  I'm not pooing.

• 1:00:04Jonny?

  But but I I think Mike's got it.

• 1:00:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:00:08Jonny?

  Of all those things.

• 1:00:09Speaker 01

  Trying to nip off the poo.

• 1:00:11Jonny?

  I think just imagine you trying to imagine you were trying to stop yourself from pooing. What would you do?

• 1:00:14Chris Williamson?

  That's that's. Why do they want to do? Why do you want to do that? To see if they can hold it in their tongue?

• 1:00:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, but then but sometimes you get people that you're like, have you got any pain? Oh, I've got some pain in my chest. You're like, oh. Like, you're just saying that. And what that means now is I'm going to have to do a series of blood tests. Or like, can you feel your bum hole? And they're like, oh, not really. And you're like, you realise the impact of you saying that. This like.

• 1:00:35Jonny?

  This decision.

• 1:00:36Speaker 01

  Can you definitely feel it? It's like, right, I will have. And then sometimes they're like, oh, no, actually I can. But then, yeah, a- anyway.

• 1:00:43Chris Williamson?

  If they knew the consequences of saying, I'm not sure if I can feel my bum hole, a lot more people would say, I can feel my bum hole.

• 1:00:48Speaker 01

  Exactly. Because you you there are people that and maybe it's just like, someone asks them, do you have this? And then, oh.

• 1:00:54Chris Williamson?

  That's like signing up to one of the very, very long email trigger sequences on propanefitness.com, isn't it? If you press the wrong button, you are thirty days of one email a day.

• 1:01:04Jonny?

  If you opt in, that's it. Obviously, you can unsubscribe because of GDPR, of course. But if you don't unsubscribe, I have a totally neutral feeling towards someone needing a rectal exam on me.

• 1:01:15Speaker 01

  Neutral feeling. That's good.

• 1:01:16Jonny?

  I I think just because I I like to think I would only get myself in that position.

• 1:01:20Speaker 01

  If it was needed.

• 1:01:21Jonny?

  Needed. I can't imagine it being this like, someone saying, oh, no, God, what was it do? Because like, well, that that needs to happen.

• 1:01:28Speaker 01

  Well, the the the good, the I guess it's the good thing. Maybe not. This comes back to like, is it life hacks one O one or something? Where we were saying, would it improve or reduce your enjoyment if the other party?

• 1:01:40Chris Williamson?

  Was enjoying pleasure from it.

• 1:01:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, but because most of the time, like, the the person doing it also isn't, that's kind of having a great time either. They're just.

• 1:01:48Jonny?

  On Peep Show, they ask each other, one of them's like, could you could you have sex with me if you had if you had to? And he was like, yeah, as long as I think you weren't enjoying it, I could do it. He was like, you could have sex with me if you were raping me. But you couldn't have sex with me.

• 1:02:06Speaker 01

  It's terrible. It's such an illustration of like, why is it that I'm behind that way?

• 1:02:11Chris Williamson?

  Right, use it.

• 1:02:13Speaker 01

  Book, book. I've, Johnny mentioned.

• 1:02:15Jonny?

  That's a new book, book?

• 1:02:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, so Johnny mentioned the mouse.

• 1:02:19Jonny?

  You got rid of your mouse?

• 1:02:20Speaker 01

  I didn't like it.

• 1:02:21Chris Williamson?

  Can we, because there's people listening that don't know what's happening here.

• 1:02:24Speaker 01

  Okay, that's true. I'm just saying words for the audio people. So mouse is a iPhone case that.

• 1:02:31Chris Williamson?

  Is brilliant.

• 1:02:32Speaker 01

  It's very protective. Their, their marketing is about throwing it off buildings and all that kind of stuff. And it's a single case. You can't store.

• 1:02:40Chris Williamson?

  We've already gone through it.

• 1:02:41Speaker 01

  We've gone through it.

• 1:02:42Chris Williamson?

  Well, yeah, because Johnny talked up. Do you think I was going for your bits?

• 1:02:46Speaker 01

  So, oh no, so thi- this is the, it's called a Toro, similar to book book, just a basically a leather case. It's because I tried to just final frontier, only carry my phone around, never do cash. And I got caught out at the barber's having a haircut. The guy was even telling me about, oh, it was a scumbag who just did a runner. And he, he said he was gonna go to the cash machine and he just left and he, he didn't pay, you know, absolutely. And I'm like, oh, terrible, like. I would never do that. And then at the end it was like, right, ten pounds. And I was like, do you take card? No, I haven't got it. I haven't even got card with me. I've just got my mouse and my phone, so I can't withdraw cash and I can't. I don't have any cash. And then I forgot to return the cash to, so I had to get.

• 1:03:28Chris Williamson?

  So you were the person preemptively that he was talking.

• 1:03:30Speaker 01

  I was.

• 1:03:31Jonny?

  We just got great mouse magnetic thing is, you know, the.

• 1:03:34Speaker 01

  The wallet.

• 1:03:35Jonny?

  That Chris wouldn't let me.

• 1:03:36Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:03:37Jonny?

  Forget about. But I understand.

• 1:03:38Speaker 01

  Luckily, book book does a bunch of things. Protects your phone if you drop it.

• 1:03:42Chris Williamson?

  Can you describe what it is for the people that are listening?

• 1:03:44Speaker 01

  It's a leather book shaped case.

• 1:03:47Chris Williamson?

  But it's front and back, right? It's not a case. It's, it's actually a, a screen cover as well.

• 1:03:53Speaker 01

  It is, it is. I've, I've had people take the piss out of me at work for being a dad, because I.

• 1:03:57Jonny?

  It is a bit dad.

• 1:03:58Speaker 01

  I make a lot of dad jokes and I've got a very dad.

• 1:04:01Chris Williamson?

  The last one was very, very Muslim.

• 1:04:03Jonny?

  Yeah, the last one looked like a little, a little miniature sort of religious script.

• 1:04:07Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, it was, very much.

• 1:04:10Chris Williamson?

  Coron.

• 1:04:11Speaker 01

  The other great thing is if you do a lot of videos or if you, I guess if you sit on trains and watch Netflix or something.

• 1:04:17Chris Williamson?

  Stand it up as a little.

• 1:04:18Speaker 01

  Look at that.

• 1:04:19Jonny?

  You don't, you should use the AirPods case.

• 1:04:21Chris Williamson?

  Ah, yeah, I mean, or your water bottle.

• 1:04:25Speaker 01

  If you wanna pay two hundred and fifty pounds for two tampons that you put in your ears, then.

• 1:04:29Chris Williamson?

  Speaking of which, I've lost my AirPod Pro case. Oh.

• 1:04:33Speaker 01

  You've lost the case but not the.

• 1:04:34Chris Williamson?

  Buds.

• 1:04:35Jonny?

  Yeah, I think about four hundred and fifty quid for a new one.

• 1:04:37Chris Williamson?

  Eight pounds. Not bad. Could be worse. I was expecting worse.

• 1:04:39Jonny?

  Could be worse.

• 1:04:40Speaker 01

  How much are the pods themselves?

• 1:04:42Chris Williamson?

  I don't know.

• 1:04:43Speaker 01

  Seventy pounds. Cause.

• 1:04:45Chris Williamson?

  I don't know.

• 1:04:45Speaker 01

  Is it cheaper to just buy a left?

• 1:04:47Chris Williamson?

  You can't. It's not the way. They don't make case. Right, uh, let's do, I'll do one more and then we'll do a quick fire round. Um. So, okay, right, this one, this one's a real, a real hack. So I flew Emirates a fair bit this winter. And on both the flight to and the flight back from Dubai to Bali. Uh, one of my friends was on, who's a girl, who's one of the, uh, air hostesses. And she gave me a hack of how to get unlimited free internet on Emirates.

• 1:05:22Jonny?

  Is it to know one of the air hostesses?

• 1:05:24Chris Williamson?

  And I'm gonna, I'm gonna give it.

• 1:05:26Speaker 01

  And maybe have had sex with them.

• 1:05:29Chris Williamson?

  Definitely hadn't had sex with her. Um, so when you, that day, when you go on, when you go on Emirates, it'll come up and it'll say, um. How do you want, like on air, it's called Emirates on air. And, um, you get to choose, do you want unlimited instant messaging or twenty megabytes? Of data. Twenty megabytes of data is like a trial thing. And then after that, you've got to pay for however much you have after that.

• 1:05:51Speaker 01

  Hmm.

• 1:05:51Chris Williamson?

  Um, choose the twenty megabytes of data thing. So you don't want to be restricted to just the messaging.

• 1:05:56Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 1:05:57Chris Williamson?

  Twenty megabytes of data. And once you've used it, go back into your settings, go to the wifi network that you're on. Press in on air, the little I. Then as you see it, there'll be a bunch of things like a renew lease and a DC ID and other stuff. Client ID, that's just three numbers. Change those to any other three numbers. And it will reset and you can just use twenty megabytes again and just keep going. That is. Unlimited free internet on ever, every Emirates flight for the rest of time.

• 1:06:28Speaker 01

  Have we talked about that on, when I had that on Emirates?

• 1:06:31Chris Williamson?

  Yes, and you went over somewhere that got your data and then you were gonna be charged seven hundred pounds.

• 1:06:37Speaker 01

  Three thousand seven hundred pounds.

• 1:06:38Chris Williamson?

  Three thousand.

• 1:06:39Jonny?

  You fell, didn't you fall asleep?

• 1:06:41Speaker 01

  I, I fell asleep.

• 1:06:42Jonny?

  So I remember you messaging.

• 1:06:43Chris Williamson?

  You didn't turn roaming off and wanted to complain at O two.

• 1:06:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, I just didn't, I just didn't put my phone on airplane mode, like went to sleep forty minutes into the flight, opened my phone, text, welcome to on air. Yeah, and it was like you were being charged.

• 1:06:56Jonny?

  I pay.

• 1:06:57Speaker 01

  Pounds a megabyte.

• 1:06:58Jonny?

  I pay a thousand quid for a footage of that moment.

• 1:07:00Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:07:01Jonny?

  I think.

• 1:07:02Speaker 01

  I just sat.

• 1:07:03Jonny?

  Three or five, three or five of you realising to ca- to calculate.

• 1:07:07Speaker 01

  Instantly, phone off.

• 1:07:08Jonny?

  To then going.

• 1:07:09Speaker 01

  I just sat mincing for the rest of the like twelve hour flight, just sat like.

• 1:07:13Jonny?

  Right, quick fire round.

• 1:07:14Speaker 01

  Final.

• 1:07:15Jonny?

  Sell my car.

• 1:07:16Speaker 01

  Final for you.

• 1:07:17Jonny?

  Uh, okay, is it me?

• 1:07:19Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 1:07:20Jonny?

  Eat lean cheese, protein hamper.

• 1:07:25Speaker 01

  Elaborate.

• 1:07:26Jonny?

  So, this is very, again, so you said adds grated cheese to things to add calories, eat lean. I, they make it the standard cheese, you can buy it in Tesco and stuff like that, it's very low calorie, like defatted cheese, it's very hard, quite flavourless. On the Eat Lean website, they do loads, they do like a red Leicester, they do a smoked one, they do like loads of different cheeses. And they do a hamper that just gives you all of it to try, like spreads, dips, everything.

• 1:07:55Speaker 01

  All right, they got a Parmesan style one.

• 1:07:57Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:57Speaker 01

  I imagine it lends itself quite well to Parmesan.

• 1:07:59Jonny?

  So it's, it's close to Parmesan, right, um, but it's like, when I ordered it, I knew it was thirty quid, including delivery, I've just got loads of cheese.

• 1:08:07Speaker 01

  Okay, but a tent from Johnny, I just spent thirty pounds on cheese.

• 1:08:10Jonny?

  It's a protein supplement essentially.

• 1:08:12Speaker 01

  Okay, and low fat.

• 1:08:14Jonny?

  Very low fat.

• 1:08:14Speaker 01

  Oh, wow.

• 1:08:15Jonny?

  Incredible.

• 1:08:16Speaker 01

  That's great.

• 1:08:17Jonny?

  Yeah, so I, like, per hundred grams, do you want me, do you want me to tell you what the macros are?

• 1:08:21Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:08:21Jonny?

  Do you care?

• 1:08:21Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:08:22Jonny?

  I'm already on my way, Chris.

• 1:08:23Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:08:24Jonny?

  Is that him?

• 1:08:25Speaker 01

  I do care.

• 1:08:26Jonny?

  Yes, is him.

• 1:08:27Speaker 01

  Is him.

• 1:08:27Jonny?

  Is him.

• 1:08:28Speaker 01

  Is, is he green?

• 1:08:29Jonny?

  So a hundred grams, and it's incredible to be honest, a hundred grams has thirty six grams of protein. Three grams of fat and two grams of carbs.

• 1:08:37Speaker 01

  What's in it? Rest of it, yeah.

• 1:08:39Jonny?

  Just protein.

• 1:08:39Speaker 01

  That's the first question, what's in it?

• 1:08:42Jonny?

  Seventy three calories, thirty six grams of protein.

• 1:08:46Speaker 01

  I just wanna know what what's the matter made up of like it's.

• 1:08:50Jonny?

  I mean, when you eat it, you can tell like there's there's not much fat in it. Like it's not, you don't eat it and think that's delicious.

• 1:08:56Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:56Jonny?

  Like you eat it and think, fair enough, close enough to cheese.

• 1:09:00Speaker 01

  But you you reset your own set point to that. Like if you've been drinking red milk for ages and then you try blue milk.

• 1:09:04Chris Williamson?

  Same as, same as my beef isolate protein thing, it just becomes normal, yeah.

• 1:09:09Speaker 01

  As opposed to the column that you're having to.

• 1:09:11Jonny?

  So like for the cap, to get the same calories from even like low calorie cheese, you're just adding so much bollocks to your calories.

• 1:09:19Chris Williamson?

  But you said you couldn't get this particular cheese in the store.

• 1:09:23Jonny?

  You can get their standard one in the shop.

• 1:09:25Chris Williamson?

  So can I get, if I find a particular type of cheese in that hamper that I like.

• 1:09:30Jonny?

  You can get it from the website, not from the, not from the shop.

• 1:09:32Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, but can I get like, can I double down on the Red Leicester? Right, okay.

• 1:09:36Jonny?

  Oh, absolutely.

• 1:09:37Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, lovely. Right, Seth.

• 1:09:43Speaker 01

  Hourglass.

• 1:09:47Jonny?

  No hourglass.

• 1:09:48Speaker 01

  No.

• 1:09:50Chris Williamson?

  No, Johnny.

• 1:09:50Speaker 01

  Fair glass.

• 1:09:52Jonny?

  Hourglass.

• 1:09:55Speaker 01

  So we've, we've been using various Pomodoro timer apps recently. And actually, if the task that you're doing in a Pomodoro is not digital, or you just don't want a digital distraction, having an analog timer is brilliant.

• 1:10:13Chris Williamson?

  You should have bought me and Johnny for Christmas, a one hour, beautiful brass and glass. Hourglass.

• 1:10:21Jonny?

  Good name for a brand.

• 1:10:22Chris Williamson?

  Brass and glass, yeah, would be, what would it be, would it be, would it be for prostitutes to shit on tables in front of them? Brass and glass.

• 1:10:31Speaker 01

  It sounds like a trendy barber shop or somewhere that's like.

• 1:10:33Chris Williamson?

  Yeah, they also do tattoos.

• 1:10:35Speaker 01

  It'd be like a bar where they're knuckle fighting, but it's all like hipster kind of.

• 1:10:39Jonny?

  It feels like.

• 1:10:40Chris Williamson?

  Gentlemen.

• 1:10:41Jonny?

  I I imagine like a, a dark bar where they do cocktails that have steam coming out of them.

• 1:10:47Chris Williamson?

  Anyone who's out there that needs a name for a.

• 1:10:49Jonny?

  If anyone steals that idea, we will cease and desist you faster than you know what's happening.

• 1:10:52Chris Williamson?

  Um, yeah, the, the, um, hourglass, analog hourglass was lovely. Um, Ysef, how did you spend your New Year's Eve?

• 1:11:02Speaker 01

  I I didn't have any kind of invites or any anything fun to go to.

• 1:11:06Chris Williamson?

  That's interesting, actually, because I I didn't have any invites to anything either on New Year's Eve. Johnny, what did you what did you do on your New Year's Eve?

• 1:11:15Jonny?

  I went to Wylde Brewery.

• 1:11:16Chris Williamson?

  What do you do before that?

• 1:11:18Jonny?

  Have the people that were going to Wylde Brewery at my house.

• 1:11:20Chris Williamson?

  That sounds really nice. Do you think, I mean, how nice does that sound?

• 1:11:26Chris Williamson?

  Almost like a party.

• 1:11:27Jonny?

  See, well, I mean, not really.

• 1:11:29Chris Williamson?

  Was it because I spoke to Dab Gibson in the gym earlier on. I said, what are you doing tonight? He said, I'm going to Johnny's for a party. He's having a party at his house.

• 1:11:35Jonny?

  So that's not.

• 1:11:36Chris Williamson?

  Then I text you and I said, hi, mate, what are you doing tonight? And you said, going to Wylde Brewery.

• 1:11:41Jonny?

  Because that's what I did.

• 1:11:44Chris Williamson?

  And you came round to my house.

• 1:11:46Speaker 01

  On New Year's Eve?

• 1:11:48Chris Williamson?

  Just before. And I said, what are you doing on New Year's Eve? You're going to Johnny's party. And you went.

• 1:11:52Speaker 01

  What is that?

• 1:11:52Chris Williamson?

  What party?

• 1:11:53Speaker 01

  What is what is?

• 1:11:54Jonny?

  It so I can see why you're both upset, but it's not how. I feel like you've been given a slither of information from.

• 1:12:02Chris Williamson?

  I know that you went to Wylde Brewery, but I just feel, I mean, wouldn't it have been nice if we'd even just early before? Even just an invite.

• 1:12:10Jonny?

  So I come come round for for sixty minutes and then go, see you later.

• 1:12:14Chris Williamson?

  You'd have been set could have set the hourglass.

• 1:12:16Speaker 01

  Glass timer.

• 1:12:19Jonny?

  Is that what what it was related to? It was like, oh, I'll come round, twist Johnny's hourglass and then leave when it expires.

• 1:12:25Chris Williamson?

  I would have just liked to have been involved.

• 1:12:27Jonny?

  I mean, what did you what did you do?

• 1:12:29Chris Williamson?

  Well, not that.

• 1:12:30Jonny?

  But what did you do?

• 1:12:31Chris Williamson?

  I ended up going to work.

• 1:12:32Jonny?

  Why didn't you invite me?

• 1:12:33Chris Williamson?

  To work?

• 1:12:34Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:34Chris Williamson?

  I knew you were at Wylde Brewery. I could have gone to your house before Wylde Brewery.

• 1:12:39Jonny?

  Oh, I could have gone to work and your work instead of Wylde Brewery.

• 1:12:41Chris Williamson?

  You couldn't, you had tickets.

• 1:12:42Jonny?

  I did have tickets.

• 1:12:44Chris Williamson?

  Anyway.

• 1:12:45Jonny?

  That was nice, wasn't it?

• 1:12:45Chris Williamson?

  We've been planning that for a little while. In case you didn't know, we've been planning that for a little while.

• 1:12:49Jonny?

  It felt planned. It felt quite quite nasty a bit.

• 1:12:52Chris Williamson?

  It was. Okay, so our our hourglass. Where did you get that hourglass from?

• 1:12:57Speaker 01

  Uh, Amazon.

• 1:12:58Jonny?

  The gilt shop.

• 1:12:59Speaker 01

  From the gilt shop.

• 1:13:00Jonny?

  Well.

• 1:13:01Chris Williamson?

  Org.

• 1:13:01Speaker 01

  So what's really, really sad, and I felt guilty about this, was my girlfriend for Christmas, after I'd ordered three hourglasses. Um, but they were still coming in the post. They were still coming in the post and one of the presents I unwrapped it, I was like, I think I know what this is. And it was an hourglass, but it wasn't as nice as the brass and glass special one. And she was like, I've been looking for bloody ages to find a twenty minute timer so you can do a pomodoro in it. And I, I found one eventually after hours of looking, it's twenty minutes so you can do, and I'm like. That was so nice of you.

• 1:13:36Chris Williamson?

  Pomodoro's twenty five minutes.

• 1:13:39Speaker 01

  And also I've got a really nice one coming.

• 1:13:42Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 1:13:43Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:13:44Jonny?

  I prefer.

• 1:13:44Chris Williamson?

  Have you heard of B focused pro?

• 1:13:46Jonny?

  Yeah. I think an hour is a better amount of time than twenty five minutes.

• 1:13:51Speaker 01

  Just two pomodoras.

• 1:13:52Jonny?

  Hmm.

• 1:13:52Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:13:52Jonny?

  Hmm, cause twenty five minutes, I always feel like I'm being cut off in my flow.

• 1:13:56Chris Williamson?

  There's a little bit of that. Uh, okay, my final one, um. Do the washing up to the pots and pans and utensils immediately after cooking.

• 1:14:07Speaker 01

  Hmm, otherwise it gets hard.

• 1:14:09Chris Williamson?

  Well, it's still wet. It's just so easy. It is thirty seconds now or two minutes tomorrow. That's it. And you, you're waiting for the food to cool or you use scales or whatever, like you've put it away. I just clear it up, clear it to like thirty seconds with round, job done. And it is.

• 1:14:29Jonny?

  Agreed.

• 1:14:29Chris Williamson?

  It is a game changer. So that's it for today. Thank you for tuning in. We have.

• 1:14:33Speaker 01

  Oh, Johnny had his quick fire.

• 1:14:36Chris Williamson?

  We've, oh, hang on, no, you do have a quick fire. Jo, do you have another one? Bonus round.

• 1:14:42Speaker 01

  I've got some quick fires.

• 1:14:43Chris Williamson?

  No, I know, we're saving them, life after one twelve.

• 1:14:46Speaker 01

  One twelve.

• 1:14:47Chris Williamson?

  You fucking ran out of them the other day and look at you now spraying them all over.

• 1:14:50Jonny?

  SonicAir toothbrush, that's it.

• 1:14:52Chris Williamson?

  Ah, okay, tell us about it.

• 1:14:55Jonny?

  Yeah.

• 1:14:55Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:14:56Jonny?

  So Becca was waiting for the Boxing Day sale for quite a long time to get us both these Philips SonicAir toothbrushes.

• 1:15:03Chris Williamson?

  Yep.

• 1:15:04Jonny?

  So have, have you ever got one or had one?

• 1:15:06Chris Williamson?

  I think I've got one, yes.

• 1:15:07Jonny?

  Right, okay. So what I like about it.

• 1:15:11Chris Williamson?

  I've got Philips.

• 1:15:12Jonny?

  I know I have a toothbrush.

• 1:15:13Chris Williamson?

  I've got, I've got an electronic Philips one that was quite expensive.

• 1:15:16Jonny?

  So yeah, so about seventy quid. It was seventy quid in the sale.

• 1:15:20Chris Williamson?

  Maybe, yeah, might be a bit more.

• 1:15:22Jonny?

  Yeah. So the great thing about it is you press a button and then it goes for two minutes. And it has a quadrant timer.

• 1:15:28Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:29Jonny?

  So you do like the bottom quarter and then it goes.

• 1:15:31Chris Williamson?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:32Jonny?

  And then you go to the top quarter and the case that you carried in has a USB charger on the bottom of it. It's just brilliant. I feel really enthusiastic about brushing my teeth.

• 1:15:43Chris Williamson?

  None of this is game changing, but I'm aware, is this your first venture into electric toothbrush world?

• 1:15:47Jonny?

  So I had a, like a cheap shit electric. I think if you haven't had got one or ever used one. It's a game changer, big step up. So mine, I was the same. I'd gone, I'd gone from complete just.

• 1:15:59Chris Williamson?

  Manual.

• 1:15:59Jonny?

  Manual. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, it's like using a manual car and then realising, I don't need to do it.

• 1:16:04Chris Williamson?

  Because I do.

• 1:16:04Jonny?

  Hmm.

• 1:16:05Chris Williamson?

  Um, yeah, that's, that's cool. I'm all right with that. I'm still waiting to invest in a water flosser. I haven't got one yet.

• 1:16:11Jonny?

  Have you got, have you got one?

• 1:16:12Speaker 01

  I've got one, but I'm, I'm, I'm wavering about it.

• 1:16:14Jonny?

  I've been using, so the dentist keeps telling me to floss and I'm using the like the sticks and the little.

• 1:16:20Speaker 01

  The Bristol brush things.

• 1:16:22Jonny?

  That they make me bleed.

• 1:16:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, they're very.

• 1:16:24Chris Williamson?

  Why are you not using you?

• 1:16:26Speaker 01

  I am, but it's.

• 1:16:26Chris Williamson?

  Water flosser. So you have got one?

• 1:16:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, it, it does make me feel more fresh, but I still feel like getting in between the teeth. Still, I'd love to know what a dentist's opinion on that is.

• 1:16:35Chris Williamson?
