   1. CWChris Williamson0:00

      It's life hacks 110?

   2. JOJonny0:02

      All those hacks.

   3. YUYusef0:03

      How many life hacks?

   4. CWChris Williamson0:05

      I've got shit loads, mate. I've got a big, big pot of life hacks. He hasn't even got any life hacks. Mate, you're, you don't even have any. What are you doing? Definitely one of the, the things that makes people weak is a over reliance on any one thing.

   5. YUYusef0:20

      Every time I've got a taxi that isn't Uber, they've been racist and, uh-

   6. CWChris Williamson0:24

      To who? You? If you use one of the self-serve Costa coffee machines you can fit a large coffee into a medium cup then you only get charged for a medium.

   7. YUYusef0:34

      That is stealing.

   8. CWChris Williamson0:36

      It's also shit coffee.

   9. YUYusef0:37

      Can you ejaculate without an erection?

   10. CWChris Williamson0:39

       Anyone who's listening, can you tell us if you've ejaculated without an erection?

   11. YUYusef0:42

       I know someone that, uh, had a poo and came. (laughs)

   12. CWChris Williamson0:46

       (laughs)

   13. YUYusef0:47

       At code on top, top code.

   14. CWChris Williamson0:49

       Thousands of people watching you and you've just m- you've pulled it out the bag. Ladies and gentlemen welcome back. I'm joined by Johnny and Yusuf from propanefitness.com. It's life hacks 110?

   15. JOJonny1:04

       All those hacks.

   16. YUYusef1:05

       How many life hacks?

   17. CWChris Williamson1:07

       I think it's probably about 250.

   18. YUYusef1:09

       50?

   19. CWChris Williamson1:10

       250.

   20. YUYusef1:10

       Yeah.

   21. CWChris Williamson1:10

       25 per episode.

   22. JOJonny1:11

       This is why I don't have any.

   23. CWChris Williamson1:12

       You've run out. Johnny's run out of life hacks to say, but it's okay, it's all right. Me and Yusuf have got loads and you can just-

   24. JOJonny1:18

       I'll just talk about them.

   25. CWChris Williamson1:19

       You're here for the, here for the ride.

   26. YUYusef1:20

       I think we will grease the groove and then Johnny will be like, "Ah, you did 10."

   27. JOJonny1:24

       I'll under pop in the most.

   28. CWChris Williamson1:25

       Uh, so if you're new-

   29. YUYusef1:26

       Let's just hot potato Johnny.

   30. JOJonny1:27

       No.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   They're the premier league.…

   1. CWChris Williamson15:00

      flip-flops are by far the most comfortable flip-flops on the planet.

   2. JOJonny15:04

      They're the premier league.

   3. CWChris Williamson15:05

      Yeah.

   4. JOJonny15:05

      But I get thong anxiety.

   5. YUYusef15:06

      What is thong anxiety?

   6. JOJonny15:07

      When you are... It only really happens in foreign countries. You're wearing flip-flops 'cause you wear them constantly when it's hot, and you're going down a slight decline. Maybe your feet are a bit wet.

   7. YUYusef15:15

      Oh.

   8. JOJonny15:15

      There's a lot of pressure on the thong.

   9. CWChris Williamson15:17

      Mm-hmm.

   10. YUYusef15:17

       Could break a toe, couldn't it?

   11. JOJonny15:18

       And you think, "God, my, basically my body weight is reliant on-"

   12. CWChris Williamson15:22

       This.

   13. JOJonny15:22

       "... this pretty femur bit of rubber. If it goes, I'm fucked."

   14. YUYusef15:26

       (laughs) Fema?

   15. JOJonny15:27

       Fema.

   16. YUYusef15:28

       Flemma.

   17. CWChris Williamson15:29

       Flemma.

   18. YUYusef15:29

       (laughs)

   19. CWChris Williamson15:31

       Flemma.

   20. JOJonny15:31

       (laughs)

   21. YUYusef15:31

       (laughs)

   22. CWChris Williamson15:31

       Um, uh, that's... What? We need to stop bringing up references that-

   23. JOJonny15:35

       I wish you had a list.

   24. CWChris Williamson15:36

       ... thousands of people-

   25. YUYusef15:37

       (laughs)

   26. JOJonny15:37

       You'd be floored.

   27. CWChris Williamson15:37

       ... thousands of people that are listening have just gone-

   28. JOJonny15:39

       Don't understand.

   29. CWChris Williamson15:40

       ... "Why'd they just make that? Lemma?"

   30. JOJonny15:41

       Even I have to, like, go back through the archives.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Oh. …

   1. JOJonny30:00

      data privacy, they call it the creepy line. So it's like, at what point-

   2. YUYusef30:03

      Oh.

   3. JOJonny30:03

      ... is this deemed a bit much?

   4. CWChris Williamson30:06

      Mm.

   5. YUYusef30:06

      Right.

   6. JOJonny30:07

      But obviously that is completely-

   7. YUYusef30:08

      Subjective moral line of like... That's interesting.

   8. CWChris Williamson30:12

      I, I don't know.

   9. YUYusef30:12

      So-

   10. JOJonny30:12

       I, I quite tr-... I don't know why, maybe it's misplaced, but I feel quite comfortable with Google.

   11. GUGuest30:16

       ... the, they're a great company for what they offer, the service that they do.

   12. CWChris Williamson30:19

       Mm-hmm.

   13. GUGuest30:19

       But, but I, I do think like, it, it's annoying because I, I really want to love Safari, but it just doesn't have the functionality-

   14. CWChris Williamson30:27

       It's just not quite the same.

   15. GUGuest30:28

       ... and speed of... Yeah. Of Chrome.

   16. CWChris Williamson30:29

       Yeah. Safari would've been great because it would've tied in all the stuff for me on mobile.

   17. GUGuest30:33

       Yeah.

   18. CWChris Williamson30:33

       Spent so much time on mobile, I've got all of my presets on there. So I have to have passwords all saved for desktop through Chrome, then passwords all saved on... So it's, it's-

   19. GUGuest30:42

       Well, I use LastPass on Chrome, and then like Safari has all the native Apple password stuff in it almost.

   20. CWChris Williamson30:48

       Which is fucking great. Yeah.

   21. GUGuest30:49

       So do you use Safari on your phone? No, I use Brave on my phone as well.

   22. CWChris Williamson30:52

       Oh, so you've switched across on there as well?

   23. GUGuest30:53

       So fully, fully moved over and-

   24. CWChris Williamson30:55

       This is-

   25. GUGuest30:55

       ... no regrets. So this is the, this is the genesis-

   26. CWChris Williamson30:57

       Of the-

   27. GUGuest30:58

       ... of a Scoby problem.

   28. CWChris Williamson30:59

       It is.

   29. GUGuest30:59

       It possibly is.

   30. CWChris Williamson31:00

       We're watching... Either the genesis of a Scoby problem or in six months' time, we'll both be using-
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   That's good. …

   1. CWChris Williamson45:00

      and it's all right.

   2. YUYusef45:02

      That's good.

   3. CWChris Williamson45:02

      Managed to shave a couple of months off how old I look.

   4. YUYusef45:05

      The common doctor's recommendation is DIPRA-Base.

   5. CWChris Williamson45:08

      Okay.

   6. JOJonny45:09

      Isn't that a bit much?

   7. YUYusef45:10

      I've never used it.

   8. CWChris Williamson45:10

      What is it?

   9. YUYusef45:11

      It's just moi- standard moisturizer.

   10. JOJonny45:13

       Like an emollient, isn't it though?

   11. YUYusef45:14

       Yeah, a emollient cream. It's not, um, a... It's for dry skin rather than-

   12. JOJonny45:18

       Yeah.

   13. YUYusef45:18

       ... than just... Um, it is not a steroid. It's just a...

   14. CWChris Williamson45:23

       I think you need to be very, like, people's skins react really differently.

   15. JOJonny45:28

       Yeah.

   16. CWChris Williamson45:28

       I know that I went through a big period of trying all sorts of different products until I found this one, which-

   17. JOJonny45:33

       Mm-hmm.

   18. CWChris Williamson45:34

       ... seems to not be too heavy, not be too light. It's absorbed sufficiently.

   19. JOJonny45:36

       The fine line for me, I find sometimes if I moisturize my face, I get spots or my skin goes dry or greasy.

   20. CWChris Williamson45:42

       Mm-hmm.

   21. JOJonny45:42

       Some days... So, uh, it's... I feel like I'm constantly, almost like-

   22. CWChris Williamson45:46

       Playing with...

   23. JOJonny45:47

       ... a thing that's on hold.

   24. CWChris Williamson45:47

       And I think, I think that's because you've got... I don't think you've got the right moisturizer. I think the right daily moisturizer should be able to be used every day without you having any adverse effects. So how do you-

   25. YUYusef45:55

       But there must be something about skin type, whether you've got oily or dry skin.

   26. JOJonny45:58

       Yeah.

   27. YUYusef45:59

       So, Aveeno Oat "Milke" is meant to be good for-

   28. JOJonny46:02

       Yeah, Becky uses that.

   29. YUYusef46:03

       Oh, okay.

   30. JOJonny46:03

       Yeah. Smells minty though.
5. 1:00:00 – 1:09:12

   Could always set a…

   1. JOJonny1:00:00

      um ...

   2. YUYusef1:00:01

      Could always set a physical timer and then add it manually to InsightTimer later.

   3. CWChris Williamson1:00:04

      That's just discipline, really, with that, isn't it?

   4. JOJonny1:00:06

      Byron, Byron Casey on-

   5. CWChris Williamson1:00:06

      Being very, very mindful. Very mindful.

   6. YUYusef1:00:09

      Byron Casey on a bit of paper.

   7. CWChris Williamson1:00:11

      Um-

   8. YUYusef1:00:11

      I know it's annoying, but-

   9. JOJonny1:00:12

      I could, I could do with one.

   10. CWChris Williamson1:00:12

       So I'm gonna do another one because I'm, I want a phone use here, so I'm gonna do a second one. And this is one I've been doing for pretty much all of this year, which is, I have a second phone now. You guys will know, I have a second device which has my socials on. Uh, and downstream from this, there's been a whole host of other changes that I've had to accommodate for. One of the best ones for me, as someone who is a little bit more of a content creator and has to be actively creating things that go out on his social media ...... is I actually record more content now that I have a second phone. So I'll have my normal phone, my WhatsApp and phone calls phone. That is the one that's on me at all times, and that doesn't have Twi- it doesn't have Instagram, um, my account, but does have a normal Instagram account that's like a f- a throwaway, private one.

   11. GUGuest1:00:58

       Mm-hmm.

   12. CWChris Williamson1:00:58

       And I'll just walk around and record content on that, save it all down. I've got iCloud linked up on both of my devices. Then when I get in, I have periods in the day where I- I have access, or I allow myself to have access to my socials. I go back on, and I have all of this content backed up that I've recorded. And what I've discovered was that I was actually scared, or I was being hesitant of recording content originally, because I knew that if I went on Instagram to record something, I'd also get sucked into answering all the DMs and doing all that sort of stuff. Whereas now, I'm freer to record content without that fear of anything, uh, getting taken away from me. Record the content, (sniffs) throw it online.

   13. GUGuest1:01:40

       Yeah. Send it down the tube.

   14. CWChris Williamson1:01:41

       Yep. Just had, I've insulated the different areas of my life. Now, it's an odd solution to fix spending too much time on technology by buying another piece of technology, but it does-

   15. GUGuest1:01:52

       It makes sense though.

   16. CWChris Williamson1:01:52

       ... it does work.

   17. GUGuest1:01:53

       'Cause I, I think the problem people have with their phone is that it's so multi-use that, like, there's always something to check.

   18. CWChris Williamson1:02:00

       Mm-hmm.

   19. GUGuest1:02:00

       There's always something to look at. This reminded me of this. So this is, um, a post on Tim Ferriss's social media of, he's doing some kind of diet where, he's calling it his social media diet, but that's his screen time. So that's-

   20. CWChris Williamson1:02:15

       20 minutes a day.

   21. GUGuest1:02:16

       ... one hour 48 across the week. And that's only on, obviously, like, the entire week he's not used it at all.

   22. CWChris Williamson1:02:21

       Jeez.

   23. GUGuest1:02:22

       And then just on-

   24. CWChris Williamson1:02:23

       Why on a Tuesday?

   25. GUGuest1:02:24

       There's mostly messages.

   26. JOJonny1:02:26

       Uh, yeah.

   27. GUGuest1:02:29

       Oh, okay.

   28. CWChris Williamson1:02:30

       Tim doesn't have a cool promotion business, does he?

   29. GUGuest1:02:32

       He doesn't. You're right. Unless... Well, not that we're aware of.

   30. CWChris Williamson1:02:35

       He's probably got a assistant as well that handles all this.
