Life Hacks 105

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   (wind blowing) He's shooting through…

   1. CWChris Williamson0:07

      (wind blowing) He's shooting through glass now. I mean, he's just fucking ...

   2. JOJonny0:11

      Life hacks 10 ... 5-5.

   3. CWChris Williamson0:15

      Life hacks 105. We are back again. Say hello, Johnny and Youssef from Propyne Fitness are here. So life hacks is the most requested episode that we do, and it feels like the lowest hanging fruit. I reckon we could just make another channel that's just life hacks.

   4. YUYusef0:30

      Definitely.

   5. CWChris Williamson0:30

      Just do this full time. Although, Johnny, you seem to think you don't have any.

   6. JOJonny0:34

      No. No, I don't. I could talk about why.

   7. CWChris Williamson0:36

      You can't see- you can't see the wood for the trees, that's why.

   8. JOJonny0:39

      You- you-

   9. YUYusef0:39

      You are so optimized.

   10. JOJonny0:41

       So I- I don't agree.

   11. CWChris Williamson0:41

       You've greased the groove too hard.

   12. YUYusef0:44

       Your threshold is low, is too low for life hacks, though. So, so Chris had-

   13. CWChris Williamson0:47

       Too high.

   14. YUYusef0:49

       Too high?

   15. CWChris Williamson0:49

       Yeah.

   16. YUYusef0:50

       Chris had a, a, a dairy product on his.

   17. JOJonny0:52

       Yeah. Well, do you know what I mean?

   18. CWChris Williamson0:53

       Right.

   19. JOJonny0:54

       Yeah. Front row even.

   20. CWChris Williamson0:55

       Do you want to open up, Scobbly?

   21. YUYusef0:56

       Sure. So Johnny has my list.

   22. JOJonny0:59

       This is my list, I don't know what you're talking about. Just because you haven't got any life hacks.

   23. YUYusef1:03

       (clears throat) So-

   24. CWChris Williamson1:03

       Be nice and gentle with the, with the glass.

   25. YUYusef1:04

       I will. So, um, I'm going to start having to categorize these into, like, physical, digital, financial, um, and then different rooms. But my most recent one, which I am so excited about, is a shattafa, which is an Arabic word-

   26. JOJonny1:21

       Bless you.

   27. YUYusef1:21

       ... for bum spray. Now, I got one of these fitted (laughs) got one of these fitted in my bathroom recently. 50 pounds, high pressure bum spray that just ... So, right, th- this is the justification for a product like this. Everywhere east of here, everyone has a shattafa. But-

   28. JOJonny1:43

       Bless you.

   29. YUYusef1:43

       ... if you (laughs) , like, okay, if, if you get a bit of poo on your face, you don't just go, "Oh, I'm just gonna get a bit of dry tissue paper and wipe it off a couple of times. There we go, that'll do." Like, you'd, you'd wash it with something, and then you'd clean it. And so-

   30. JOJonny1:58

       What about if there was gonna be more poo coming from your face all the time?
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   That's good. …

   1. YUYusef15:00

      That's good.

   2. CWChris Williamson15:01

      Nice.

   3. JOJonny15:02

      Got it trained.

   4. YUYusef15:02

      So how do you do it? Make a note?

   5. JOJonny15:04

      You just say, "Remind me to," and it-

   6. CWChris Williamson15:07

      Okay. 'Cause you only need to like-

   7. JOJonny15:08

      ... comes up, you can take advantage.

   8. CWChris Williamson15:08

      You only need, like, three words of a cue, right? And it'll bring it back.

   9. JOJonny15:11

      Yeah, it's as simple word.

   10. CWChris Williamson15:13

       Which is weird. Yeah.

   11. YUYusef15:13

       The only thing is, if anyone has any suggestions, 'cause iOS 12's coming out and they've improved the voice notes function, and it syncs with Mac and all of that stuff. If someone can find a way to really quickly do a voice note... (snaps fingers)

   12. CWChris Williamson15:26

       Swipe up from the bottom, add it to your, uh-

   13. YUYusef15:28

       It's not as part of the... Maybe in the beta it's not part of the options there.

   14. CWChris Williamson15:32

       So-

   15. YUYusef15:32

       But-

   16. CWChris Williamson15:33

       ... does it open the app when you do it from there?

   17. JOJonny15:35

       Uh...

   18. CWChris Williamson15:35

       Because you can have it in your dock at your home, so you can swipe up from the bottom and open voice notes from there, but then you'd have to press and hold.

   19. JOJonny15:42

       Mm-hmm.

   20. CWChris Williamson15:42

       Are you talking about swipe up from the bottom and just press and hold, and it'll go from there?

   21. YUYusef15:44

       Yeah, so some way, just... I, I know that sounds really pedantic to minimize the number of steps to do something, but, like-

   22. CWChris Williamson15:49

       Mm-hmm. It would be nice.

   23. YUYusef15:50

       Yeah.

   24. JOJonny15:50

       Why... You should use Siri more.

   25. YUYusef15:53

       Siri never, never-

   26. CWChris Williamson15:54

       But you are using an iPhone 5C.

   27. YUYusef15:56

       Yeah.

   28. JOJonny15:57

       You get, you get b- Siri improves the more you use it. That's the, the "Hey, Siri" thing.

   29. CWChris Williamson16:02

       (laughs)

   30. JOJonny16:02

       See? There you go.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Indoctrinated. …

   1. YUYusef30:01

      standard-

   2. CWChris Williamson30:01

      Indoctrinated.

   3. YUYusef30:02

      Yeah. They just became the standard vocabulary and then they became a derogatory term.

   4. CWChris Williamson30:04

      So the etymology of all of those words are medical.

   5. YUYusef30:07

      They're all medical words. Uh, spastic.

   6. JOJonny30:09

      I suppose the difference there is that what someone's... Someone's using that to almost try and get that across, aren't they?

   7. CWChris Williamson30:16

      Mm-hmm.

   8. JOJonny30:17

      Like, whereas saying something's gay, like you aren't saying-

   9. CWChris Williamson30:19

      ... that person's ho- that's homosexual. Y- you're just using it as a way of-

   10. YUYusef30:23

       Reacting, yeah.

   11. CWChris Williamson30:23

       People have conflated that word with m- meaning lame or rubbish, essentially.

   12. JOJonny30:28

       Yeah.

   13. YUYusef30:28

       So like you were saying, you stub your toe and you, "Oh, shit." It, you don't, you don't mean like, "Oh, feces." You-

   14. CWChris Williamson30:34

       Mm-hmm.

   15. YUYusef30:34

       ... mean like, it's just a-

   16. CWChris Williamson30:35

       Bad i- bad thing.

   17. JOJonny30:36

       That's bad, yeah.

   18. CWChris Williamson30:36

       That's when, when people-

   19. YUYusef30:37

       As JP was saying, it's the same circuitry that's like screaming.

   20. CWChris Williamson30:39

       Yeah.

   21. YUYusef30:39

       Like a primal scream.

   22. CWChris Williamson30:40

       'Cause if you've ever heard someone accuse someone else of, that's being a wimp, if they've ever used the F word, which I'd rather not say because that's a little bit, that elicits a a little bit more, um, variations.

   23. YUYusef30:51

       Bundle of st- the bundle of sticks?

   24. CWChris Williamson30:52

       Yeah. (laughs)

   25. YUYusef30:53

       Right.

   26. CWChris Williamson30:54

       Yeah. Uh, pork ball, pork balls.

   27. JOJonny30:56

       I don't know what you're talking about.

   28. CWChris Williamson30:56

       Pork balls.

   29. YUYusef30:57

       (laughs)

   30. CWChris Williamson30:57

       Faggot balls.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Is it so you…

   1. JOJonny45:00

      had released a wifi coffee machine. And I was like, "Okay, but what are you gonna do, what are you gonna use that for?"

   2. CWChris Williamson45:06

      Is it so you can, like, s- flick it on from when you're away?

   3. JOJonny45:08

      Yeah. But like-

   4. YUYusef45:09

      So Benny had the same thing, got a wifi kettle, and he's like, "Well, I still have to fill up the kettle."

   5. JOJonny45:13

      Yeah.

   6. CWChris Williamson45:14

      (laughs)

   7. YUYusef45:15

      (laughs)

   8. JOJonny45:15

      Precisely. So like, there's still... And also, like-

   9. CWChris Williamson45:18

      (laughs)

   10. JOJonny45:19

       ... how, how, how fine-tuned is everybody's life where, like, the minute that would, you would take to go and press the kettle on-

   11. CWChris Williamson45:27

       So here's-

   12. JOJonny45:27

       ... you can't, you can't give that up anymore.

   13. CWChris Williamson45:29

       You cannot waste it.

   14. YUYusef45:29

       Yeah.

   15. CWChris Williamson45:29

       I think for a lot of the people that are gonna be watching who are potentially, uh, obsessive optimizers-

   16. JOJonny45:37

       Mm-hmm.

   17. CWChris Williamson45:37

       ... of which I guess we broadly fall into categories to one degree or another-

   18. JOJonny45:41

       Right.

   19. CWChris Williamson45:41

       ... you need to look at, "Am I, am I avoiding the hard, but important stuff-"

   20. JOJonny45:49

       Yeah.

   21. CWChris Williamson45:49

       ... to just tack something onto the side?"

   22. JOJonny45:51

       Yeah.

   23. CWChris Williamson45:51

       Like if you're sitting in bed looking at your phone for 15 minutes before you get up on a morning, like what the fuck's your wifi kettle doing?

   24. JOJonny45:59

       Exactly. Exactly.

   25. CWChris Williamson46:00

       That is-

   26. JOJonny46:01

       Yeah.

   27. CWChris Williamson46:01

       That is lame.

   28. YUYusef46:03

       Yeah.

   29. JOJonny46:03

       I feel that way about so many... It's like people, it's like when someone's obsessing about saving money on a purchase and then they, like, spend 40 quid-

   30. CWChris Williamson46:10

       Blowing it on.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:06:20

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. CWChris Williamson1:00:00

      have all of our artwork that all of the managers need and the best of the albums from each week that get updated.

   2. JOJonny1:00:08

      Mm-hmm.

   3. CWChris Williamson1:00:08

      So I'll put the artwork in. The guy that's doing ... That's vetting the album from the night before will save good photos in there as well. And all of the managers have got access to it on their phones, so when they need to do a social media post, all they do is just go in and everything is as current as it needs to be. I've put the most recent artwork in. No one ever needs to ask, "Oh, where's the, where's the flyer for last, for this week?" No one ever needs to ask, "Oh, I need a photo for this new Instagram post."

   4. JOJonny1:00:33

      It's just in there.

   5. CWChris Williamson1:00:34

      So the guys that do social get fed from the backend from the guys that are doing the post-sale service, and I get the artwork that comes in from the designer, and yeah, it's, it's brilliant.

   6. JOJonny1:00:44

      Any collaboration with big files, like we, we do all of our podcast with-... with Dropbox.

   7. CWChris Williamson1:00:49

      It shits all over WeTransfer and stuff like that.

   8. JOJonny1:00:51

      Yeah.

   9. CWChris Williamson1:00:51

      Like, who the fuck's using ... WeTransfer's just a big email.

   10. YUYusef1:00:55

       Yeah, it is a big email.

   11. JOJonny1:00:56

       (laughs)

   12. YUYusef1:00:56

       Like, it, it's good for a one-off and that purpose.

   13. CWChris Williamson1:00:58

       It feels purpose.

   14. JOJonny1:00:58

       Yeah.

   15. YUYusef1:00:58

       Yeah.

   16. CWChris Williamson1:00:58

       What, like, 10 gig of you need to shift, like, a, a two-gigabyte by 10-gigabyte file or something.

   17. JOJonny1:01:02

       Mm-hmm.

   18. CWChris Williamson1:01:03

       Yeah, fine.

   19. JOJonny1:01:03

       Dropbox is also fast. Like, faster than-

   20. CWChris Williamson1:01:05

       It's fucking rapid.

   21. JOJonny1:01:06

       Like, if you want to put a video somewhere that someone else can get it, like, it's the fa- at least for me, it's the fastest.

   22. CWChris Williamson1:01:10

       And it's private.

   23. JOJonny1:01:11

       Yeah.

   24. CWChris Williamson1:01:11

       Do you know what I mean? Without the link, no one else can get it.

   25. JOJonny1:01:14

       Mm-hmm.

   26. CWChris Williamson1:01:14

       Unbelievable.

   27. YUYusef1:01:16

       So I, I use Box Sync as well, which gives you 50 gig free.

   28. CWChris Williamson1:01:20

       Yemen. Yemen.

   29. YUYusef1:01:21

       Uh, Yemen. It's, it's the same as Dropbox, but yeah, gives you 50 gig free.

   30. CWChris Williamson1:01:24

       But is it?
