The End Of The World, CrossFit & Pirates Of The Caribbean | Catch Up 103

1. 0:00 – 15:00

   Catch up 103. Come…

   1. CWChris Williamson0:00

      Catch up 103. Come round so fast, don't they?

   2. JOJonny0:02

      You'd think we'd have caught up by now, wouldn't you?

   3. CWChris Williamson0:04

      I went to America.

   4. JOJonny0:05

      Twice.

   5. CWChris Williamson0:06

      As far as I'm concerned.

   6. JOJonny0:07

      You were, you were on a podcast with Elon Musk.

   7. CWChris Williamson0:08

      I shared some oxygen with Elon Musk, yeah.

   8. JOJonny0:10

      Right. (laughs) You're trying to tell a story. (laughs)

   9. YUYusef0:12

      We're trying to get through this podcast, wrecking it. Absolutely destroying it.

   10. JOJonny0:14

       The listeners who've tuned in not to hear you two-

   11. YUYusef0:16

       You did yoga.

   12. CWChris Williamson0:16

       Just say silly things.

   13. YUYusef0:17

       It's our, this is our only purpose on the podcast, to just derail your story.

   14. JOJonny0:20

       We've got nothing interesting to say.

   15. CWChris Williamson0:22

       Do you know what it is as well? Like, people can say that they think that Americans are too positive or like, over the top, which is probably, probably a little bit fair, but in my experience, Americans are so much more polite than the Brits.

   16. JOJonny0:33

       The whole Marvel shit, and this is going to offend a lot of people, but I really struggle with it.

   17. CWChris Williamson0:37

       Careful, careful. BMB's gonna-

   18. JOJonny0:38

       Yeah.

   19. YUYusef0:38

       Have you seen any of them?

   20. JOJonny0:39

       Yeah.

   21. YUYusef0:39

       Which ones?

   22. JOJonny0:40

       There's a guy with a big glove. Big bloke, big glove.

   23. YUYusef0:43

       Is it called Big Fist?

   24. JOJonny0:43

       And like little midget gems that he has to put in the glove. And when he puts the midget gems in the glove-

   25. YUYusef0:47

       (laughs)

   26. JOJonny0:48

       ... (laughs) he, uh, he kills those people.

   27. CWChris Williamson0:50

       Hang on.

   28. JOJonny0:51

       Are you serious?

   29. YUYusef0:51

       Yeah.

   30. CWChris Williamson0:51

       Sorry.
2. 15:00 – 30:00

   Oh, okay. …

   1. CWChris Williamson15:00

      it's just the maddest thing to see now. There's, for people who don't know, Bird, Lime, uh, I think it's like Up and something else are brands of scooter companies-

   2. JOJonny15:11

      Oh, okay.

   3. CWChris Williamson15:11

      ... who have just dropped these 24 kilometer range electric mini scooters, like what you'd see kids riding around on, um, schoolchildren. But they've got a little trigger on them which, when you push it, accelerates up to about 16 miles an hour and a little brake, and everyone is just whizzing around on these scooters. And you open it like a, um, one of those ride-on, uh, bikes that you can get in the UK at the moment.

   4. YUYusef15:40

      It's like a micro scooter.

   5. CWChris Williamson15:41

      With an electric motor.

   6. YUYusef15:42

      Is it 'cause the town is so fast that you need something to get you around?

   7. CWChris Williamson15:46

      It's because a lot of people already skate and bike, and there's heavily pedestrianized areas that are built for, or um, I guess, riding areas that are built for exactly that.

   8. YUYusef15:57

      What's the problem with normal bicycles?

   9. CWChris Williamson16:00

      That they're not as cool.

   10. YUYusef16:02

       Okay.

   11. CWChris Williamson16:03

       And they don't go as fast. Like, unless you're really gunning it-

   12. YUYusef16:07

       And you have to, you have to be absolutely everywhere.

   13. CWChris Williamson16:07

       ... you have to use it. So every different iteration of scooter and electric vehicle is now being used by these people. So you've got, like, an electric scooter one, then you've got a bike one where you can both pedal and, uh, use the electric motor to go even faster, and they're fucking rapid. Um, and there's a skateboard one now where you're just a skateboard with a remote control, and you scan it, and you can just deposit them wherever you stop and-

   14. JOJonny16:33

       So it's, it's exactly like the bikes in the UK.

   15. CWChris Williamson16:36

       Yes, yeah.

   16. JOJonny16:36

       But much better.

   17. CWChris Williamson16:37

       Much better, faster, more, um, like cheaper as well. It's a dollar to start and like, I think it's like 15 cent a minute. It's like 10p a minute to ride however far you want.

   18. JOJonny16:50

       I suppose you're using power, aren't you?

   19. CWChris Williamson16:51

       Yeah. And then there's a-

   20. YUYusef16:52

       Do you have to dock it in certain stations?

   21. CWChris Williamson16:54

       No, so there's the, an entire sub-, uh, market of chargers so people get paid to charge these things. You sign up as a charger, take the things home with you, plug them into your wall, and then you get money based on how many you charge.

   22. YUYusef17:07

       Oh. I'm so looking forward to this, like, decentralization of ............................ So with the Tesla thing as well, you know, they're saying you can, if you get a Tesla that has the, the full self-driving unit, you can then Uber it out to people when you're not using it. So it can take you to work, and then you just leave it to just taxi people around.

   23. CWChris Williamson17:24

       Is that really what they've said?

   24. JOJonny17:25

       Apparently, yeah.

   25. YUYusef17:26

       There's an internal, internal facing camera if someone, like, spunks or vomits in your car, and then you can always clean that up. (laughs)

   26. JOJonny17:31

       Or both, at once.

   27. YUYusef17:33

       VMD was just like trying to...

   28. JOJonny17:35

       (laughs)

   29. YUYusef17:35

       Um, yeah, or both, and then you can just charge them for it. So um-

   30. JOJonny17:39

       Just automatically as well.
3. 30:00 – 45:00

   Nine and Three Quarters.…

   1. CWChris Williamson30:00

      and there's, like-

   2. YUYusef30:01

      Nine and Three Quarters.

   3. CWChris Williamson30:01

      ... Platform Nine and Three Quarters-

   4. YUYusef30:02

      Yeah.

   5. CWChris Williamson30:02

      ... and the train's sticking out. And then they do, um, live musicals where they've got magical frogs and, like ...

   6. YUYusef30:09

      (laughs)

   7. CWChris Williamson30:09

      It's j- it's j- unreal.

   8. YUYusef30:10

      Mm-hmm.

   9. CWChris Williamson30:10

      Like, everything about it is sick, and even the-

   10. YUYusef30:11

       So is it someone's job to be the magical frog?

   11. CWChris Williamson30:14

       ... no, so the magical frog's like a hand puppet that sing. So it's got five singers.

   12. YUYusef30:19

       So, it's still someone's job, then.

   13. CWChris Williamson30:19

       It's someone's hand job.

   14. YUYusef30:21

       Hand, hand, hand job to do.

   15. CWChris Williamson30:22

       It's a hand job.

   16. YUYusef30:23

       Okay.

   17. CWChris Williamson30:24

       You get your hand-

   18. JOJonny30:24

       They're the best, aren't they?

   19. CWChris Williamson30:25

       ... and you put it in the frog. I don't think that hand jobs are the best.

   20. JOJonny30:28

       As a job.

   21. CWChris Williamson30:29

       As a job. He only has one. His other hand's free.

   22. YUYusef30:34

       Oh, okay, so you can shake hands with people like that.

   23. CWChris Williamson30:36

       Yeah.

   24. YUYusef30:36

       At the same time. Yeah.

   25. JOJonny30:37

       (laughs)

   26. CWChris Williamson30:38

       That's it.

   27. JOJonny30:40

       I just think things in America, everything in America's done properly, isn't it?

   28. CWChris Williamson30:45

       So, I'm gonna-

   29. JOJonny30:45

       Like, they, they don't, they, there's no half measures in America, it's like, to the max.

   30. CWChris Williamson30:49

       Do you know what it is as well, like, people can say that they think that Americans are too positive or like, over the top, which is probably, probably a little bit fair, but in my experience, Americans are so much more polite than the Brits.
4. 45:00 – 1:00:00

   Yeah, but if he's,…

   1. CWChris Williamson45:00

      this is constant.

   2. YUYusef45:00

      Yeah, but if he's, if he's constantly becoming a millionaire, like-

   3. CWChris Williamson45:02

      Yeah.

   4. YUYusef45:02

      ... there'll be a time when he becomes a millionaire, it's like, "Oh, enough, enough."

   5. CWChris Williamson45:05

      I'm not sure that there is. I think that he said-

   6. YUYusef45:07

      He just keeps going.

   7. CWChris Williamson45:07

      "This is the reason that my wife bites her nails because he just-"

   8. YUYusef45:09

      Oh, God.

   9. CWChris Williamson45:09

      "... constantly plays around with-"

   10. YUYusef45:10

       She's ragging the bank account.

   11. CWChris Williamson45:12

       (laughs)

   12. YUYusef45:13

       Throwing it off the walls.

   13. CWChris Williamson45:14

       Whiplash.

   14. YUYusef45:14

       Seeing that, that graph on Monzo would be like whoo!

   15. CWChris Williamson45:16

       Yeah. Up and, up and down, yeah.

   16. YUYusef45:19

       The, I think the, I hear constantly that like the, the self-tracking wearables world-

   17. CWChris Williamson45:25

       Mm-hmm.

   18. YUYusef45:25

       ... like, that's where there's gonna be the most, um-

   19. CWChris Williamson45:28

       Mm-hmm.

   20. YUYusef45:29

       ... jump in and advancement. You know, like d- I, uh, before, it won't be long before there's an implant that you wear that me- that monitors your markers.

   21. CWChris Williamson45:37

       I think-

   22. YUYusef45:38

       It creeps me out, that whole prospect.

   23. CWChris Williamson45:39

       I think that would be fantastic. Like, waking up and there's an app just giving you your life. You're a chartered accountant.

   24. YUYusef45:44

       Yeah, I just want ... Just give me graphs and data.

   25. CWChris Williamson45:45

       Just give me-

   26. YUYusef45:46

       Charts and trends.

   27. CWChris Williamson45:47

       But the price you pay for that, there's a guy who does a really haunting video about the, what's it called, 23andMe? And they're like doing DNA analysis stuff. Oh, yeah, the DNA stuff.

   28. YUYusef45:55

       Saying that you only need a certain critical mass of people to, to do it and then you can draw these inferences and you can use it for forensic things. So if someone's committed, someone's committed a crime, you can then find who it is through like three levels of facts, of relationship. And so, like they, he was saying how they, basically the, some intelligence agency found who committed this crime just from Googling DNA data.

   29. CWChris Williamson46:23

       Jesus.

   30. YUYusef46:24

       And finding like three people who it could be and then speaking to their family and-
5. 1:00:00 – 1:07:56

   (laughs) …

   1. CWChris Williamson1:00:00

   2. JOJonny1:00:00

      (laughs)

   3. YUYusef1:00:00

      Yeah, I wanna be sick and I'm sure VMD wants to be sick even more at the, like... just-

   4. CWChris Williamson1:00:04

      He's being sick.

   5. YUYusef1:00:04

      'Cause the cost per second of filming-

   6. CWChris Williamson1:00:07

      Yeah.

   7. YUYusef1:00:07

      ... with those levels of cameras-

   8. CWChris Williamson1:00:08

      Oh, God.

   9. YUYusef1:00:08

      ... and I imagine the ha- like, the, the hardware, and then I'm... also, like, you, you're gonna get a swordfish that comes and, like, breaks one of the lenses and every-

   10. CWChris Williamson1:00:15

       Mm-hmm.

   11. YUYusef1:00:15

       ... everyone is like (groans) .

   12. CWChris Williamson1:00:17

       Yeah.

   13. YUYusef1:00:17

       And, like-

   14. JOJonny1:00:18

       Yeah, well, I think-

   15. YUYusef1:00:19

       ... the shots that they get, you think, "How did they get that from four angles in such high def?"

   16. CWChris Williamson1:00:22

       Yeah.

   17. YUYusef1:00:23

       Like, how long were they filming for?

   18. JOJonny1:00:24

       This close.

   19. YUYusef1:00:25

       Yeah.

   20. JOJonny1:00:25

       O- also, the... I imagine there's a... there must be this... when something's happening and you're focusing on getting it, you're thinking, like, "Oh, I hope-"

   21. CWChris Williamson1:00:31

       If I fuck this.

   22. JOJonny1:00:32

       "... I'm recording. I hope I'm recording," or, like, "Oh, no, I'm running outta battery," right? Something like that. You can imagine the... it just must be-

   23. YUYusef1:00:38

       Disgusting.

   24. JOJonny1:00:38

       Why you just can't think about it.

   25. CWChris Williamson1:00:39

       If you trip over D- David Attenborough's foot, like, while you're tracking, so you're panning along-

   26. YUYusef1:00:43

       (laughs) Because then he's there.

   27. CWChris Williamson1:00:44

       The dolphins... after, after 13 days of watching, the dolphins have finally arrived, and as you're going along you, like, trip over David Attenborough-He's having a banan- he's having a banana. He's having a sit-down.

   28. JOJonny1:00:54

       (laughs)

   29. YUYusef1:00:54

       He's s- standing there in the arctic with-

   30. CWChris Williamson1:00:54

       Here we see a dolphin. (laughs)
