Life Hacks 108

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Life hacks 108. …

   1. CWChris Williamson0:01

      Life hacks 108.

   2. JOJonny0:03

      I sold a MacBook-

   3. YUYusef0:05

      Drenched in porn, I imagine.

   4. JOJonny0:06

      (laughs)

   5. YUYusef0:07

      Dripping-

   6. CWChris Williamson0:08

      (laughs)

   7. YUYusef0:08

      ... dripping with porn.

   8. JOJonny0:09

      In case you forgot.

   9. YUYusef0:09

      There are some life hacks that just are so requisite, aren't they? That like-

   10. CWChris Williamson0:13

       Well, they feel primitive to us now.

   11. YUYusef0:14

       Yeah.

   12. CWChris Williamson0:14

       When I look back at 101 and 102-

   13. YUYusef0:16

       Just sitting next to someone with those notifications on their phone-

   14. JOJonny0:19

       ... it's like so part of our life.

   15. YUYusef0:19

       ... you just think, "You are such a basic person."

   16. JOJonny0:21

       (laughs)

   17. YUYusef0:21

       Like, you're just being dragged around by it.

   18. CWChris Williamson0:23

       Absolutely ragged.

   19. YUYusef0:23

       Like, ding, ding, ding.

   20. JOJonny0:24

       I want your attention. Excuse me.

   21. YUYusef0:26

       Yeah.

   22. JOJonny0:26

       Excuse me.

   23. YUYusef0:26

       And then, and then you watch them pick up their phone and you're like-

   24. CWChris Williamson0:29

       Mate, what are you doing?

   25. YUYusef0:29

       ... were, were you gonna do that before that happened or not?

   26. CWChris Williamson0:32

       No, no, because someone's messaged now. No, someone hasn't messaged you. Someone's messaged a bunch of other people.

   27. YUYusef0:37

       12 people.

   28. CWChris Williamson0:37

       In a fucking group chat.

   29. YUYusef0:38

       It was, it was mad over it.

   30. CWChris Williamson0:39

       In general, in general, marginal gains don't matter.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   How did you know…

   1. JOJonny15:00

      smelt than, like, she-

   2. How did you know it was vaginal, a vaginal problem?

   3. It is such-

   4. A signature, is it?

   5. It... Honestly, it is such a distinctive smell. It like, and it's-

   6. YUYusef15:08

      Can you describe it?

   7. JOJonny15:09

      Oh.

   8. It's like, um, someone's buried a fish in a warm, warm climate wrapped in some like cheap squeezy cheese. You know, the squeezy cheese that you get in like a, a cheap toothpaste tube.

   9. YUYusef15:20

      So it hits some of the high notes on smell then?

   10. JOJonny15:23

       Yeah.

   11. YUYusef15:23

       It's not a low smell. It's not musky.

   12. JOJonny15:25

       No, no, no.

   13. (laughs)

   14. It's, it's, it's a full spectrum smell.

   15. YUYusef15:27

       Oh, yeah?

   16. JOJonny15:27

       And it, it digs into your nose and it does not go away. I viewed a flat a few years ago-

   17. YUYusef15:32

       You told me about this.

   18. JOJonny15:33

       Oh.

   19. YUYusef15:33

       Where someone who'd been in it before had had this.

   20. JOJonny15:35

       Well, she... So there, there was a-

   21. YUYusef15:37

       (laughs)

   22. JOJonny15:37

       ... there was a girl sat in bed with her boyfriend and I went into the room and it's just, the air is thick with bacterial vaginosis.

   23. YUYusef15:43

       (laughs)

   24. JOJonny15:44

       And like, I thought, I was like, "I feel sorry for the, the guy," like he's been trapped.

   25. YUYusef15:47

       But no, he should tell her. He should be like, "For-"

   26. JOJonny15:49

       Maybe he's-

   27. "... for both of our sakes."

   28. Maybe he's become like- Accustomed to it. Yeah. What is it? Just a bacterial infection?

   29. Yeah. There are those who-

   30. YUYusef15:56

       Is it Stockholm Syndrome that people have?
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Don't you worry. This…

   1. JOJonny30:00

      no, sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

   2. CWChris Williamson30:01

      Don't you worry. This is one which is-

   3. JOJonny30:03

      Sorry,

   4. (laughs)

   5. CWChris Williamson30:03

      ... actually from the MD. So he sent me this the other week.

   6. JOJonny30:08

      The MD.

   7. CWChris Williamson30:09

      Which is messenger.com. So I didn't know that messenger.com is Facebook Messenger without Facebook.

   8. JOJonny30:18

      Yeah.

   9. CWChris Williamson30:18

      So I don't need to be on Facebook getting distracted by getting tagged in notifications and invites to events and pages and just general stuff, auto-scrolling news-

   10. JOJonny30:27

       Mm-hmm.

   11. CWChris Williamson30:27

       ... auto-scrol- uh, playing videos and stuff like that. But messenger.com allows me to, in the same way that WhatsApp Web...... works for that. So I now have a tab of all of my stuff, which is, I can just go on and check during a Pomodoro break or whatever it might be. WhatsApp Web and Messenger.com don't get distracted by notifications. Still get all the functionality and the better view as opposed to just that, it's even bigger than when you view it on full Facebook. It's even better than that.

   12. JOJonny30:55

       Yeah.

   13. CWChris Williamson30:55

       So, Messenger.com.

   14. JOJonny30:56

       You can find it from inside Facebook, I think, if you just press messages. It takes you to Messenger.com, I think.

   15. CWChris Williamson31:02

       I don't think it does. I think it still keeps the bars-

   16. JOJonny31:05

       Keeps you in Messenger.

   17. CWChris Williamson31:06

       Yeah, I think it's the frame of face-

   18. JOJonny31:07

       Do you use WhatsApp Web in Chrome or do you have the Mac app?

   19. CWChris Williamson31:12

       No, this is, I'm using Chrome.

   20. JOJonny31:13

       Right.

   21. Do you prefer to do that?

   22. CWChris Williamson31:15

       Yes.

   23. JOJonny31:15

       'Cause the- the app's a bit hit and miss for me sometimes.

   24. Is it? Yeah.

   25. CWChris Williamson31:18

       That's exactly why I don't use it. So it's, firstly, the app's buggy.

   26. JOJonny31:21

       Hm.

   27. CWChris Williamson31:21

       And secondly, turning off notifications for it is more difficult. Like, it's just, it's more entrenched in my system.

   28. JOJonny31:29

       Cold turkey kills it.

   29. Just goes, "No." (laughs)

   30. CWChris Williamson31:32

       Yeah. So, so do you need... 'cause, uh, mine will say like, you need your phone, like, to scan the QR code. Does WhatsApp Web do that as well?
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Mm-hmm. …

   1. JOJonny45:00

      12 weeks, we all get the same amount done.

   2. CWChris Williamson45:02

      Mm-hmm.

   3. JOJonny45:03

      But you two ... For example-

   4. The, the solution Chris suggested of saving the, the extra and putting it into an actual pampering, surely that-

   5. But that's assuming that that ... So, so both of what you are saying is you are wasting time that should be saved. Time and money that should be saved and put to something-

   6. CWChris Williamson45:16

      Could be saved.

   7. JOJonny45:18

      Precisely.

   8. CWChris Williamson45:18

      But my point is-

   9. JOJonny45:19

      But I don't think anybody does that, and I think most people-

   10. So you think because we're so wasteful with our time and money anyway, that-

   11. I'm saying that I don't think-

   12. CWChris Williamson45:25

       Sunk cost fallacy.

   13. JOJonny45:26

       I'm saying that I don't think anybody has a tight enough control over their time or money to say ...

   14. So, sunk-

   15. I'm not going to win this argument.

   16. ... cost fallacy.

   17. 'Cause you, you two are entrenched. Try, go and try-

   18. So, yesterday I was so, uh, like, so precious about time-

   19. Mm-hmm.

   20. ... 'cause I had a lot to do.

   21. CWChris Williamson45:42

       Mm-hmm.

   22. JOJonny45:42

       And, and 90 minutes out of my day would have been killer. Like, it would have-

   23. So in a situation where you were revising for finals for medicine?

   24. Mm-hmm. Okay.

   25. Like, that ... Fair enough. But in general, I don't think there's anyone has enough command over it.

   26. CWChris Williamson45:53

       So in general, in general, marginal gains don't matter?

   27. JOJonny45:56

       (laughs)

   28. CWChris Williamson45:56

       But that's the exact reason why marginal gains matter.

   29. JOJonny45:59

       It, it ...

   30. I, I haven't even got to my life hack, 'cause I've, I've, this is, this is a duplicate one.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:08:09

   (laughs) …

   1. CWChris Williamson1:00:00

      and there's something, this quantified self-movement is kind of cool, but it just screams virgin to me as well.

   2. JOJonny1:00:09

      (laughs)

   3. CWChris Williamson1:00:09

      Like there's-

   4. JOJonny1:00:11

      Did you see the post we put up the other day about like the 22-year, was it the 22-Year-Old Gymgoer Virgin?

   5. CWChris Williamson1:00:18

      No.

   6. JOJonny1:00:18

      Have a look at it, it's, it's very-

   7. CWChris Williamson1:00:21

      Nice.

   8. JOJonny1:00:21

      ... very much on that. It's like, "I'm coming in and doing 126.5 kilo deadlift for three sets of two today."

   9. Oh, yeah.

   10. CWChris Williamson1:00:27

       Oh, God.

   11. JOJonny1:00:27

       And yeah.

   12. CWChris Williamson1:00:28

       Right. Again, that's another like powerlifting, like thing for me.

   13. JOJonny1:00:32

       Very much, yeah.

   14. CWChris Williamson1:00:32

       Like I'm not gonna overtrain. I'm gonna have like these huge rests. I'm not going to... Like, you know, even you as someone who I consider to be m- as open-minded as you can get for a powerlifter-

   15. JOJonny1:00:46

       Mm-hmm.

   16. CWChris Williamson1:00:47

       ... since the beginning-

   17. JOJonny1:00:48

       (laughs)

   18. CWChris Williamson1:00:48

       ... of the year refused to do cardio with me because you were worried-

   19. JOJonny1:00:51

       Mm-hmm.

   20. CWChris Williamson1:00:51

       ... it was gonna defeat your gains.

   21. JOJonny1:00:52

       Yeah.

   22. CWChris Williamson1:00:52

       And you're the most secular...... of the-

   23. YUYusef1:00:56

       (laughs)

   24. CWChris Williamson1:00:56

       ... of the powerlifters.

   25. JOJonny1:00:57

       Of the powerlifting brigade.

   26. CWChris Williamson1:00:58

       Yeah, the-

   27. JOJonny1:00:59

       Yeah. That is, hasn't got a beard. H- and hasn't shaved his head.

   28. CWChris Williamson1:01:02

       Yeah.

   29. JOJonny1:01:02

       Doesn't wear, like, mass metal t-shirts, and-

   30. Well, it's, it's like, it's like how the music taste that I know you and I have. I thi- I know you do to the-
