   6. YUYusef0:10

      Yeah.

   7. CWChris Williamson0:10

   9. CWChris Williamson0:14

      It's a little one.

   10. YUYusef0:15

       ... smaller one.

   11. CWChris Williamson0:16

       Yes. And you're going to ... that's going to be your thing?

   14. YUYusef0:19

       I've been ... yeah.

   15. CWChris Williamson0:20

       Okay.

   16. YUYusef0:20

       Is it-

   17. CWChris Williamson0:23

       (laughs)

   18. YUYusef0:23

       What is funny? Oh. Oh, the condoms.

   19. CWChris Williamson0:27

       (laughs)

   20. YUYusef0:27

       (laughs)

   21. CWChris Williamson0:27

       No. No.

   22. YUYusef0:28

       No? What? (laughs)

   23. CWChris Williamson0:30

       No. No. (laughs) See, in that bag you have-

   24. YUYusef0:35

       Mate-

   25. CWChris Williamson0:35

       ... a MacBook-

   26. YUYusef0:36

       I'm crying.

   27. CWChris Williamson0:36

       ... condoms and croissants.

   28. YUYusef0:37

       And stethoscope.

   29. CWChris Williamson0:38

       (laughs)

   30. YUYusef0:39

       Oh. Absolutely brilliant.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Pina colada. But birthday…

   1. JOJonny15:00

      colada.

   2. Pina colada. But birthday cake, never again. That was terrible.

   3. CWChris Williamson15:04

      (laughs) What do you mean never again? You've got five kilos of pina colada.

   4. JOJonny15:06

      Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've got-

   5. 10 kilos of pina colada.

   6. CWChris Williamson15:09

      No.

   7. JOJonny15:09

      Yeah, I'm just halfway through. But the, the birthday cake, it's a bit salty. It's like eating salty dough with hun- actual hundreds and thousands in the way. Who wants that in their protein shake? Like-

   8. Someone who orders birthday cake Way.

   9. CWChris Williamson15:19

      Yeah, yeah.

   10. JOJonny15:20

       But yeah, so they do a, they do a cocoa, like a chocolate flavor greens powder that has ... it is honestly like compared to your typical greens powder-

   11. CWChris Williamson15:28

       This, so the-

   12. JOJonny15:29

       It's honestly palatable.

   13. It is, yeah.

   14. CWChris Williamson15:31

       The level up is purely because of taste?

   15. JOJonny15:33

       Yeah.

   16. CWChris Williamson15:34

       Yeah. Okay, I can get behind that.

   17. JOJonny15:36

       I mean, it's just easy.

   18. CWChris Williamson15:37

       Naughty.

   19. JOJonny15:37

       Oh my goodness.

   20. CWChris Williamson15:38

       Very naughty.

   21. JOJonny15:38

       It's e- it's really easy compared to like ... so I've tried ones from MyProtein and Protein Works that have, uh, they've flavored them. It's like-

   22. CWChris Williamson15:45

       Mm-hmm.

   23. JOJonny15:46

       ... super berry or blueberry or whatever. It's a bit artificial.

   24. CWChris Williamson15:49

       Tropical or-

   25. JOJonny15:49

       This, you could add it to like chocolate whey and you wouldn't even notice.

   26. CWChris Williamson15:53

       Oh, nice. Cool.

   27. JOJonny15:54

       Which you should also get chocolate whey. It's just that you ... it's the way to live your life in an easy way, without any fuss.

   28. CWChris Williamson15:58

       I think definitely when you're starting with a new supplement, chocolate's a pretty safe one to go for.

   29. JOJonny16:05

       Mm-hmm.

   30. CWChris Williamson16:05

       Um, but most companies now, pretty much everyone does sample packs.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   (laughs) So yes, I'm…

   1. CWChris Williamson30:00

      at. I've, I've tried to summarize your life hack as allow the manufacturer to do your portion control for you.

   2. JOJonny30:06

      (laughs) So yes, I'm really buying that, like-

   3. Mm-hmm.

   4. ... if all of my food came in a packet-

   5. CWChris Williamson30:12

      That was-

   6. JOJonny30:13

      ... and I could eat the whole thing-

   7. Just Johnny size food.

   8. ... I'd be so happy about that.

   9. CWChris Williamson30:15

      So you like discrete value. But that's the accountant in you, isn't it?

   10. JOJonny30:19

       Yes. It's the fat kid in me.

   11. CWChris Williamson30:20

       (laughs)

   12. JOJonny30:21

       I like, I like to eat the whole packet. And if the whole packet-

   13. CWChris Williamson30:24

       (laughs)

   14. JOJonny30:24

       So I've never seen you-

   15. ... is 2,500 calories with enough protein, I am so content.

   16. But, yeah. That's it, like I, I don't think I've ever seen you, like, eat a meal and then say...

   17. Mm.

   18. There we go, I think, I think I've had enough, there, or I'll-

   19. I just hope-

   20. ... I'll have a little bit more off someone else's plate, and now I'm fine.

   21. I used to have so many arguments-

   22. It's always just like-

   23. ... with people when I was dieting, where, like, we'd go out for a meal and I'd be served a portion and I'd be like, "Fuck, I've gotta get out my calories," and they'd go, "Why don't you just eat half of it?"

   24. And I'd be like, "No, I can't do... Yeah."

   25. It was stupid. (laughs)

   26. CWChris Williamson30:51

       What do you mean? (laughs)

   27. JOJonny30:51

       What do you mean eat half of it? Like, I'd far rather eat all of it and know where I am than have to eat half of it and guess.

   28. CWChris Williamson30:57

       (laughs)

   29. JOJonny30:57

       Like, if I eat ha- all of it, I'll be able to find the calories online and then I'll know I've had that many calories. If I eat half of it, it's like, "Well, did I have 300 grams? 200?"

   30. CWChris Williamson31:04

       But that's, that, that, you know that you're gonna put that amount in, you can just put 0.5 servings.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   (laughs) …

   1. CWChris Williamson45:00

      down on you because you've stolen a load of Michael Jackson music 'cause of that.

   2. JOJonny45:03

      (laughs)

   3. CWChris Williamson45:03

      So my email signature, went through, um, and just cut it down to the bare minimum, which also includes name, so I never have to say, "Thanks, Chris," now, which I kind of was doing before 'cause it was obviously clunky. That then create the email signature on Gmail. Hyperlink the text so you can cre- select the text so it says, "Philly night clubs at Voodoo Newcastle, Voodoo Newcastle," links to our website.

   4. JOJonny45:32

      Mm-hmm.

   5. CWChris Williamson45:32

      Host of Modern Wisdom podcast, Modern Wisdom links. Then you can copy and paste that across into Notes. Copy and paste that out of Notes into your email signature section on iPhone, and it will retain the hyperlinks as well.

   6. JOJonny45:47

      Right.

   7. CWChris Williamson45:48

      And all of the formatting.

   8. JOJonny45:49

      You've also got the quote below and you, like, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never loved at all."

   9. CWChris Williamson45:54

      It might have been, i- i- that was last week. It's live, laugh, love now.

   10. JOJonny45:56

       Live, laugh, love, yeah.

   11. CWChris Williamson45:59

       Yeah.

   12. JOJonny45:59

       Good, good memory.

   13. I lo- it's, it's (laughs) like, it's my favorite type of... uh, I know people don't frap anymore, but putting a really inane quote that, like, is, like, pseudo-inspirational that you'd imagine on, like, some-

   14. (laughs)

   15. ... someone's Instagram (laughs) -

   16. CWChris Williamson46:13

       (laughs)

   17. JOJonny46:13

       ... like, with, like, text and then, like, a background-

   18. CWChris Williamson46:15

       Jordan Peterson's, Jordan Peterson's personal email address has, "The truth will set you free." I'm not kidding. (laughs)

   19. JOJonny46:21

       Oh, Jordan.

   20. Really?

   21. CWChris Williamson46:23

       (laughs)

   22. JOJonny46:23

       (laughs)

   23. CWChris Williamson46:23

       Anyway.

   24. JOJonny46:23

       Mine's just on my Apple Mail, like, when I select the email account I want to mail from, it brings up the signature.

   25. Johan Arthur Blobson.

   26. Exactly.

   27. Yeah.

   28. CWChris Williamson46:31

       Esquire.

   29. JOJonny46:31

       Yeah. The, I w- I have heard that it s- I can't remember who it was, was like, if you, if you sell anything, put the URL in the thing.

   30. Sell it at £7 an hour. (laughs)
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:01

   (laughs) I'm not pooing.…

   1. JOJonny1:00:00

      try and stop pooing.

   2. (laughs) I'm not pooing.

   3. CWChris Williamson1:00:03

      You're not pooing all over your hand? (laughs)

   4. JOJonny1:00:04

      But, but, uh, uh, I, I think Mike's got it.

   5. Yeah.

   6. CWChris Williamson1:00:08

      Mike, Mike might have it.

   7. JOJonny1:00:08

      Of all of those things...

   8. Try and nip off the poo. It's-

   9. I think just imagine you're trying to, imagine you were trying to stop yourself from pooing. What would you do?

   10. CWChris Williamson1:00:14

       That's, that's kind of...

   11. JOJonny1:00:15

       Like if you're having a poo-

   12. CWChris Williamson1:00:15

       Why do they want to do... Why do you want to do that? To see if they can hold it in their toes.

   13. JOJonny1:00:18

       The doorbell rings.

   14. Yeah, but then, but sometimes you get people that you're like, "Have you got any pain?" "Oh, I've got some pain in my chest." You're like, "Ugh." Like, you're just saying that, and what that means now is I'm going to have to do a series of blood test, or like-

   15. Or like put my finger in your bum.

   16. "Can you feel your bum hole?" And they'll be like, "Uh, not really," and you're like... you realize the impact of you saying that.

   17. CWChris Williamson1:00:34

       (laughs)

   18. JOJonny1:00:34

       It's like-

   19. CWChris Williamson1:00:35

       This decision.

   20. JOJonny1:00:36

       'Cause-

   21. "Can you definitely feel your..." It's like, right. I will ha... And then sometimes they're, "Oh, no, actually I can't." But then, yeah. Uh, anyway, um-

   22. CWChris Williamson1:00:43

       If they knew the consequences of saying, "I'm not sure if I can feel my bum hole," a lot more people would say, "I can feel my bum hole."

   23. JOJonny1:00:48

       Exactly. 'Cause y- y- there are people that are not... Maybe it's just like someone asks them, "Do you have this?" And then, "Oh, maybe I do."

   24. CWChris Williamson1:00:54

       That's like signing up to one of the very, very long email trigger sequences on propanefitness.com, isn't it?

   25. JOJonny1:01:00

       Yeah.

   26. That's it.

   27. CWChris Williamson1:01:00

       If you press the wrong button, you are-

   28. JOJonny1:01:02

       That's it.

   29. CWChris Williamson1:01:02

       ... 30 days of-

   30. JOJonny1:01:04

       Yeah.
