EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Yeah. We went to…

    1. CW

      Yeah. We went to a meditation retreat, didn't we?

    2. JO

      It was amazing, but it was really difficult. For anyone who is considering doing a meditation retreat, it's really fucking hard.

    3. CW

      (laughs)

    4. JO

      Why did you buy a MacBook rather than a PC?

    5. YU

      Anyone, use a PC for three minutes and it'll answer that question.

    6. CW

      So-

    7. YU

      So I've been rear-ended twice in the last month.

    8. CW

      In a car.

    9. YU

      In a car.

    10. CW

      We should clarify that.

    11. JO

      In a car.

    12. CW

      Yeah.

    13. YU

      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.

    14. CW

      (laughs)

    15. JO

      (laughs)

    16. YU

      All of the like, "Oh my God-

    17. CW

      Like a bright light.

    18. YU

      ... the paperwork. Oh."

    19. CW

      And fuss with planes.

    20. JO

      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.

    21. CW

      You've finally got onto the life hack of getting your hair cut at home, haven't you?

    22. YU

      Yeah, I have.

    23. CW

      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)

    24. JO

      (laughs) Ladies and gentlemen, look who's joined me again. Johnny and Yusuf from propanefitness.com. It's been a long while, welcome back.

    25. YU

      Welcome.

    26. JO

      Thank you. Welcome to us. Welcome to you, sir.

    27. CW

      (laughs)

    28. YU

      (laughs)

    29. JO

      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.

    30. CW

      Jonathan's a famous hot potato.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Really? …

    1. YU

      connects to your phone or wifi is almost impossible.

    2. CW

      Really?

    3. YU

      Yeah. The reviews-

    4. CW

      Gap in the market. Someone who has access to small, portable video cameras.

    5. JO

      Does it just record onto a hard drive and then reset, reset, reset?

    6. YU

      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-

    7. JO

      That's clever.

    8. YU

      ... ten minutes or whatever.

    9. CW

      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-

    10. JO

      I don't know what Canary is.

    11. YU

      Home security. Oh, I see.

    12. CW

      Yeah, ho- like, same as Nest or whatever, whatever.

    13. JO

      Right.

    14. CW

      Um, speaking of which, Darren got a Nest. I think I've told you this before.

    15. JO

      Mm-hmm.

    16. CW

      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-

    17. JO

      Sorry. (laughs)

    18. CW

      Is that ... I mean, vibrating phone during a podcast is ... Is that, is that-

    19. JO

      Uh, what do you want me to do? (laughs)

    20. CW

      Is it ... Well, turn it on silent.

    21. JO

      That's on silent. (laughs)

    22. CW

      But it vibrates?

    23. JO

      Yeah.

    24. CW

      Is that what happens at night?

    25. JO

      Uh, yeah.

    26. CW

      That's disgusting.

    27. JO

      It's only good things I've told you.

    28. CW

      That's disgusting.

    29. JO

      I don't mind ... Who doesn't, like, mind being woken up by a really good thing?

    30. YU

      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.

  3. 30:0045:00

    People will be like,…

    1. YU

      People will be like, "That's a bit weird."

    2. CW

      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.

    3. YU

      The dick? It's, it's... That's really arrogant of him, 'cause basically the customs officer held, was it 100,000 liters?

    4. CW

      $100,000 worth. I think it was like-

    5. YU

      143-

    6. CW

      ... three articulated lorries worth.

    7. YU

      Okay, so 100...

    8. CW

      Of water.

    9. YU

      $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-

    10. CW

      No, no, no. The... Everyone told him that this was what he had to do.

    11. YU

      This is what he had to do.

    12. CW

      Yeah.

    13. YU

      But-

    14. CW

      So he was, like, commandeered as like, "You're the highest profile gay man that we've got."

    15. YU

      It's, it-

    16. CW

      Like, "You'll put a dick in your mouth."

    17. YU

      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-

    18. JO

      I suppose it's just all you've got at that point, isn't it?

    19. CW

      Mm-hmm.

    20. JO

      Like, it's either that or-

    21. CW

      What would you have done?

    22. YU

      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.

    23. JO

      It's gonna have to be a good blow job.

    24. CW

      They definitely will have done.

    25. JO

      They absolutely-

    26. YU

      $140,000?

    27. JO

      Yeah, why not?

    28. YU

      'Cause you'd just find someone that were willing to take 139, and then-

    29. JO

      (laughs)

    30. YU

      ... you do, you do a reverse-

  4. 45:001:00:00

    (laughs) …

    1. YU

      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?'"

    2. CW

      (laughs)

    3. JO

      (laughs)

    4. YU

      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.

    5. CW

      (laughs)

    6. JO

      Oh, my God. (laughs)

    7. YU

      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-

    8. CW

      Mm-hmm.

    9. YU

      ... where he's just like (sighs) .

    10. CW

      That's the way to deal with it though. And like it- he's British as well, isn't he?

    11. YU

      Yeah. (overlapped) He has like no problems at all.

    12. CW

      Like the guy is like from... Yeah, he's like just Yorkshire or, or Leeds or something like that and the guy-

    13. JO

      Would be Leeds, wouldn't it?

    14. CW

      So it's very realistic d- and it's all filmed in like 9:16 vertical.

    15. YU

      (laughs)

    16. JO

      Oh, right. See-

    17. CW

      Like on like a front-facing camera from like a-

    18. YU

      "All right, darling. Read, read clue number four-"

    19. CW

      Yeah.

    20. YU

      ... "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.

    21. JO

      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.

    22. CW

      Just accessed another level of cognition because he's been so hurt by it, yeah.

    23. YU

      And then driving off with her dildo, like, that's the final level of thought of like-

    24. CW

      Yeah.

    25. YU

      ... "Oh, sure. She'll be back in an hour or something."

    26. JO

      What about, you know, that's actualization, isn't it?

    27. YU

      Actualization?

    28. CW

      No, self-actualization, like the dildo.

    29. YU

      (laughs)

    30. CW

      You know what I mean? Like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and then at the very, very top, just on the top is-

  5. 1:00:001:04:16

    Some of that will…

    1. CW

      not happening.

    2. JO

      Some of that will be cost.

    3. CW

      I suppose so.

    4. JO

      Because of the processing power.

    5. YU

      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-

    6. CW

      (laughs)

    7. YU

      ... um, like per day-

    8. JO

      Well, well even, not even that. The amount of times they had to repair my computer.

    9. YU

      Okay. So, so the number of work hours that, that-

    10. CW

      Yeah.

    11. YU

      ... like total labor that's lost, multiplied by all the employees of the company, it's gotta go into the-

    12. JO

      But I've owned a MacBook Pro and it's-

    13. CW

      Yeah.

    14. JO

      ... ironically, easily.

    15. YU

      Who bought everyone a MacBook Pro?

    16. JO

      (laughs)

    17. CW

      It's just-

    18. YU

      After a day-

    19. CW

      ... it's like using a different machine. It's a different category of everything.

    20. JO

      Mm-hmm. 'Cause have you ev- have you ever played in a phone shop with a different phone that isn't an iPhone?

    21. CW

      Mm, not for a long time.

    22. JO

      I just feel like, I know obviously I'm biased but I feel like-

    23. CW

      Mm-hmm.

    24. JO

      ... using it is more cumbersome in every way.

    25. CW

      Mm-hmm.

    26. YU

      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-

    27. CW

      Like, why should we use a Google Pixel?

    28. YU

      Yeah.

    29. CW

      Why should we use a Samsung Galaxy Note7 or a-

    30. YU

      I'm really-
