Yeah. We went to…
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah. We went to a meditation retreat, didn't we?
- JOJonny
It was amazing, but it was really difficult. For anyone who is considering doing a meditation retreat, it's really fucking hard.
- CWChris Williamson
(laughs)
- JOJonny
Why did you buy a MacBook rather than a PC?
- YUYusef
Anyone, use a PC for three minutes and it'll answer that question.
- CWChris Williamson
So-
- YUYusef
So I've been rear-ended twice in the last month.
- CWChris Williamson
In a car.
- YUYusef
In a car.
- CWChris Williamson
We should clarify that.
- JOJonny
In a car.
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah.
- YUYusef
You know what it is? As soon as you feel that impact, the sense is, it's not like, "Ah, my neck." It's, it's just all of the admin flashes before your eyes.
- CWChris Williamson
(laughs)
- JOJonny
(laughs)
- YUYusef
All of the like, "Oh my God-
- CWChris Williamson
Like a bright light.
- YUYusef
... the paperwork. Oh."
- CWChris Williamson
And fuss with planes.
- JOJonny
This is why you shouldn't be allowed on a plane unless you've got an iPhone. And everything would be much simpler, because the people who've made bad decisions would be confined to the, where they live.
- CWChris Williamson
You've finally got onto the life hack of getting your hair cut at home, haven't you?
- YUYusef
Yeah, I have.
- CWChris Williamson
Before the hairdresser went round to his, she texted me to say, "Hang on a second, I'm about to go round to this person's house that I've never met before. I probably should think about my own safety. Is he, is he a weirdo?" And I'm like... (laughs)
- JOJonny
(laughs) Ladies and gentlemen, look who's joined me again. Johnny and Yusuf from propanefitness.com. It's been a long while, welcome back.
- YUYusef
Welcome.
- JOJonny
Thank you. Welcome to us. Welcome to you, sir.
- CWChris Williamson
(laughs)
- YUYusef
(laughs)
- JOJonny
So, today we're doing a catch-up episode. No agenda, no topics in hand other than just what's been going on in our lives recently. So what's been going on in your life recently, Jonathan? What have you been doing? Why do you... I almost went throwing the TV at him.
- CWChris Williamson
Jonathan's a famous hot potato.
- 15:00 – 30:00
Really? …
- YUYusef
connects to your phone or wifi is almost impossible.
- CWChris Williamson
Really?
- YUYusef
Yeah. The reviews-
- CWChris Williamson
Gap in the market. Someone who has access to small, portable video cameras.
- JOJonny
Does it just record onto a hard drive and then reset, reset, reset?
- YUYusef
So it records on loop, yeah. And then it has ... Some of them have a sensor, so if you, if it has an impact, it will save the last-
- JOJonny
That's clever.
- YUYusef
... ten minutes or whatever.
- CWChris Williamson
Mm-hmm. So I mean, a lot of the ... Like, stuff like Canary is, I think it's 28 days that it records on cloud. And then after 28 days, it'll just-
- JOJonny
I don't know what Canary is.
- YUYusef
Home security. Oh, I see.
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah, ho- like, same as Nest or whatever, whatever.
- JOJonny
Right.
- CWChris Williamson
Um, speaking of which, Darren got a Nest. I think I've told you this before.
- JOJonny
Mm-hmm.
- CWChris Williamson
He got a Nest, which is like a smart, uh, thermostat for your house. And because he's, him and his wife have got a young child and dogs and he has a chaotic working environment, like, there's no contin-
- JOJonny
Sorry. (laughs)
- CWChris Williamson
Is that ... I mean, vibrating phone during a podcast is ... Is that, is that-
- JOJonny
Uh, what do you want me to do? (laughs)
- CWChris Williamson
Is it ... Well, turn it on silent.
- JOJonny
That's on silent. (laughs)
- CWChris Williamson
But it vibrates?
- JOJonny
Yeah.
- CWChris Williamson
Is that what happens at night?
- JOJonny
Uh, yeah.
- CWChris Williamson
That's disgusting.
- JOJonny
It's only good things I've told you.
- CWChris Williamson
That's disgusting.
- JOJonny
I don't mind ... Who doesn't, like, mind being woken up by a really good thing?
- YUYusef
That is a story that ... I, I don't know whether we've mentioned this, where I came to pick Johnny up at 7:00 AM for a competition. We were going to Leeds.
- 30:00 – 45:00
People will be like,…
- YUYusef
People will be like, "That's a bit weird."
- CWChris Williamson
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Uh... Um, I thought it was, it was really, really... I've watched it twice now, that's how much I enjoyed it. I felt very sorry for him. I might watch it again. Billy McFarland? No, no, I felt very sorry for the, the, the dick-sucking man.
- YUYusef
The dick? It's, it's... That's really arrogant of him, 'cause basically the customs officer held, was it 100,000 liters?
- CWChris Williamson
$100,000 worth. I think it was like-
- YUYusef
143-
- CWChris Williamson
... three articulated lorries worth.
- YUYusef
Okay, so 100...
- CWChris Williamson
Of water.
- YUYusef
$140,000 custom charge and the guy said that he was gonna go over because the customs officer was gay and try and seduce him. And he was-
- CWChris Williamson
No, no, no. The... Everyone told him that this was what he had to do.
- YUYusef
This is what he had to do.
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah.
- YUYusef
But-
- CWChris Williamson
So he was, like, commandeered as like, "You're the highest profile gay man that we've got."
- YUYusef
It's, it-
- CWChris Williamson
Like, "You'll put a dick in your mouth."
- YUYusef
It's still, it's so arrogant to think, like-... uh, I, like, for me to give someone a blow job, it's worth $140,000. Like, that's-
- JOJonny
I suppose it's just all you've got at that point, isn't it?
- CWChris Williamson
Mm-hmm.
- JOJonny
Like, it's either that or-
- CWChris Williamson
What would you have done?
- YUYusef
If, if it was the other way around, who would pay that much? I don't think anyone's ever paid $140,000 in the world.
- JOJonny
It's gonna have to be a good blow job.
- CWChris Williamson
They definitely will have done.
- JOJonny
They absolutely-
- YUYusef
$140,000?
- JOJonny
Yeah, why not?
- YUYusef
'Cause you'd just find someone that were willing to take 139, and then-
- JOJonny
(laughs)
- YUYusef
... you do, you do a reverse-
- 45:00 – 1:00:00
(laughs) …
- YUYusef
Um, we will then spend the next, the next time at Northern Lights in the hail. Um, I finally have one more question for you when I get one on, down on one knee and ask you, 'Who the fuck is Thomas Rue?'"
- CWChris Williamson
(laughs)
- JOJonny
(laughs)
- YUYusef
And she looks up and, and he's just like, "See you later," and he, and he locks the door, puts the key through the door, and he's like, "That's just proof so that the police know that I haven't got a key anymore," and he drives off into the night singing into her dildo.
- CWChris Williamson
(laughs)
- JOJonny
Oh, my God. (laughs)
- YUYusef
Just films himself. And like the whole time, there's a lot of like excitement in his voice, but you can hear the tone of sadness underneath-
- CWChris Williamson
Mm-hmm.
- YUYusef
... where he's just like (sighs) .
- CWChris Williamson
That's the way to deal with it though. And like it- he's British as well, isn't he?
- YUYusef
Yeah. (overlapped) He has like no problems at all.
- CWChris Williamson
Like the guy is like from... Yeah, he's like just Yorkshire or, or Leeds or something like that and the guy-
- JOJonny
Would be Leeds, wouldn't it?
- CWChris Williamson
So it's very realistic d- and it's all filmed in like 9:16 vertical.
- YUYusef
(laughs)
- JOJonny
Oh, right. See-
- CWChris Williamson
Like on like a front-facing camera from like a-
- YUYusef
"All right, darling. Read, read clue number four-"
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah.
- YUYusef
... "and then, okay, over to the next one." And you've got, and there's like, he's put like sparkles and glitter on the card.
- JOJonny
You feel like he's had like a psychotic event when he's found out about it and he's like masterminded this real situation.
- CWChris Williamson
Just accessed another level of cognition because he's been so hurt by it, yeah.
- YUYusef
And then driving off with her dildo, like, that's the final level of thought of like-
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah.
- YUYusef
... "Oh, sure. She'll be back in an hour or something."
- JOJonny
What about, you know, that's actualization, isn't it?
- YUYusef
Actualization?
- CWChris Williamson
No, self-actualization, like the dildo.
- YUYusef
(laughs)
- CWChris Williamson
You know what I mean? Like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and then at the very, very top, just on the top is-
- 1:00:00 – 1:04:16
Some of that will…
- CWChris Williamson
not happening.
- JOJonny
Some of that will be cost.
- CWChris Williamson
I suppose so.
- JOJonny
Because of the processing power.
- YUYusef
But it's, it's so ironic because like if, if they add up all... I mean, how ... let's say, if you were to add up all the time that you spent waiting for a computer at, at your old job-
- CWChris Williamson
(laughs)
- YUYusef
... um, like per day-
- JOJonny
Well, well even, not even that. The amount of times they had to repair my computer.
- YUYusef
Okay. So, so the number of work hours that, that-
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah.
- YUYusef
... like total labor that's lost, multiplied by all the employees of the company, it's gotta go into the-
- JOJonny
But I've owned a MacBook Pro and it's-
- CWChris Williamson
Yeah.
- JOJonny
... ironically, easily.
- YUYusef
Who bought everyone a MacBook Pro?
- JOJonny
(laughs)
- CWChris Williamson
It's just-
- YUYusef
After a day-
- CWChris Williamson
... it's like using a different machine. It's a different category of everything.
- JOJonny
Mm-hmm. 'Cause have you ev- have you ever played in a phone shop with a different phone that isn't an iPhone?
- CWChris Williamson
Mm, not for a long time.
- JOJonny
I just feel like, I know obviously I'm biased but I feel like-
- CWChris Williamson
Mm-hmm.
- JOJonny
... using it is more cumbersome in every way.
- CWChris Williamson
Mm-hmm.
- YUYusef
I, I would honestly love, if, if anyone's watching this on YouTube and you have a, a sincere objection to or some reason that we're overlooking as to why a PC is superior-
- CWChris Williamson
Like, why should we use a Google Pixel?
- YUYusef
Yeah.
- CWChris Williamson
Why should we use a Samsung Galaxy Note7 or a-
- YUYusef
I'm really-
