lifehacks 111 111 lifehacks just to recap you've bought a trampoline yes like a if you imagine a big trampoline it's a little one smaller one yes and you're going that's going to be your thing I am doing that but I'm happy yeah okay what is funny condoms what I'm taking that back you have a MacBook condoms and croissant and setoscope you should have bought me and Johnny for Christmas a one hour beautiful brass and glass our brass we'll be for prostitutes to shit on tables in front of them brass and glass ladies and gentlemen welcome back Johnny and Youssef in the building welcome back gentlemen how are you doing hello very good lifehacks 111 that's what it is 111 lifehacks that's a lie we started on 101 and Johnny you've actually got some for once I do I've done some preparation but don't you dare I'm not going to do that what I am about to do though if you know what fairbells are they are a protein shake pre-made protein shake absolutely fantastic tastes lovely partnered with the company from Knocko and you can win a crate of them all you need to do is share this episode tag me in and share at Chris Will X wherever you follow me share this episode and I'll choose someone and send a case of bearbells out to you and my first lifehack is can I ask you first are they not protein bars they also make milkshakes do they I've got some I don't want to take away yeah so my first lifehack is replace milk on cereal with bearbells white chocolate okay I'm on board of that you have a lot of cereal I have a lot of cereal 20 grams of protein instantly added on to whatever your cereal is in the day I'll just give you one you can't take my lifehack no no just the type of cereal oh right okay so granola works very well with granola like white chocolate bearbells numbershake granola unbelievable macros are fantastic so it's higher calorie slightly higher cost I imagine much higher cost oh yeah but must be tasty oh it's so good what sort of granola do you have don't ask me in this question because I know you'll go inside what sort of granola do you have mind as their own brand yes that's a special no okay are we talking like granola with raisins raisins and nuts okay kill you kill you for self the Quaker granola the Quaker raisin granola is frankly lethal like you don't realise it but you can easily do the box without even real it's so calorie dense it's like someone made cereal and then just put butter in it and you're like oh that's really that's really tasty and then Chris is like add some calories well that's it at the end of the day you're like I really want a nice supper before I go to bed but oh tiny rounds of protein down for the day yeah shit I do think cereals are brilliant evening food it's the book end of the day isn't it it's the beginning of the year what's up this morning cereal what's up before bed cereal do you eat cereal for breakfast I haven't fasted until about 1pm usually so if I would have cereal for breakfast then you should take the edge off for me just my sharpness my focus it's bedtime and if it's like before bed you actually have a list of life hacks Johnny go tell us tell us the list so the first one you won't agree with Chris because I know you think the sort of thing's a bit silly but a soda screen you got this at Christmas right it is it is so fizzy water sparkling water is when you add it up quite expensive and also a faff so if you don't buy a lot of sparkling water go on how is buying sparkling water more of a faff than having to make the fucking stuff you serve because it's easy to make it so you under the tap button done he can shout the flavour of the water in the room and then it's the same as that other stuff that's the same as the other stuff that's the same as the other stuff yeah so lemon that's the best description so I read that description about the croix and it's perfect why are you drinking it it's as if someone shouts like next door and that's the amount of flavour it's great for appetite expression so if you're fasting and if you're not like these things you have to count your calories in order to lose weight or manage your body weight then having sparkling water instead of normal water and carbonate is great for appetite expression it's also really nice so you can why not diet coke or like green tea caffeine and tastes awful why not diet Sprite Sprite Zero maybe taste Sprite I'm just trying to you know so once you've got a soda stream you need to have the gas canister but you can take them to Lakeland and get them swapped for another one where's Lakeland? that's the same where's WH10 I've never seen the word Lakeland written once before seriously never seen it written before that's because you don't operate and like everything's hard cash and nightclubs that's the only bit of a bit of a bit of a bit you've got the bits in the GTA map that are just like blank grey shops I don't think you can actually go inside there's one who can buy the guns and the one who can change the colour of your car in between that is Lakeland just Lakeland unless it's White City oh it's the carriage yeah so it's true go on I like it you can actually turn it into coke with a Lakeland yeah you've got the different flavouring so what's the best flavouring? lemon lemon diet lemon don't get for god's sake don't get the ginger beer don't get sucked into the organic stuff because you go and there's some that are in like round like medicine they're a bit more expensive and then you realise that the amount you have to dilute it by you'd be better off just drinking like red coke like the sugar's insane do you ever have like a nice zero calorie beverage chilled in the morning lovely two I've made my own sugar drink I've gone to effort and expense to make my own isn't this nice have you are you filtering the water before? so is it filtered water?
yes yeah okay now that's nice but that's just because you scared me to death about each of you and I feel like filtering it's like it's not probably going to do anything really but I just feel like you need to avoid whatever it is heretis, irons or whatever it was it's receipts I can't wash my hair I can't like touch certain people certain people no candles are allowed yeah anyway to be honest Johnny's actually taken the highest yield oestrogen things to avoid which is microwaving Tupperware and stuff which I'm so pleased with because like when you're microwaving a plastic container of food and it's all wibbly and you're just like did you still get meal prep or no? so I'm joking going to myself down maybe three months what? interesting very good before I forget just while we were on the granola thing if you follow us on Instagram you'll know that I have got a clinical addiction problem to Asda's best hazelnut dark chocolate cherry granola absolutely on another level and the problem is I get Asda delivery and I get anxious when there's less than three bags in the house so I've always got maybe ten bags of it at one time are they quite small bags? 500 grams it's like five-year-sprev isn't it?
it's a single bowl yeah I think they're like 750 or yeah about 750 it's a staple of your diet I'm telling you add a Bear Bell's white chocolate on top of that and it will be enough that it should probably be on Miami.wip just a video of a bowl of it I would subscribe to that the fact that you have a granola problem but still don't gain weight is insane to me so actually that's my next life hack I may as well bundle it in but like and this is just because some of us our weight gravitates like up or down depending on our disposition and I've noticed a lot with a lot of the new doctors starting that you see people's weight distinctly go like up or down how busy they are what their coping strategy is I suppose do you overwork or overeat? yeah exactly so I've dropped like four or five kilos over a few weeks just with busy periods so granola and just putting grated cheese on everything your life hack is how to not lose weight in a stressy time so a lot of the life hacks depending on which way this is like one of those choose your own destiny adventure books do you want to fight the dragon or do you want to run and you realise that there's only one right answer but regardless of your goal the hazelnut cherry dark chocolate granola mind blowing but anxiety in choosing when you get less than three vibes and what's the other thing? grated cheese grated cheese on everything but with the granola if you get asked to delivery and you allow substitutions they'll always try and give you some bullshit granola there's just nothing they also have like extra special salted caramel crunch that one's great oh it's just nothing in comparison sometimes the guy will have left and you're unpacking all your stuff and you're like oh I've been done so he's taken the cherry granola for himself yeah so annoying okay next up so if you are going on holiday I advise that you pack a small drawstring bag so if you remember about the size of an A3 piece of paper two A4 pieces of paper side by side it's the sort of thing you'd have taken to the swimming bath as a kid do you know what I mean? like a drawstring backpack and Reebok make one which has got a single zip pocket across the front of it and that's it it's just a drawstring bag and it is the single best thing that I've ever taken for going away with you've got your big backpack that's probably maybe got laptop, electronics, sunglasses other stuff like towel and things that stuff in then you've got a suitcase and this is even if you're just going for a weekend but you need I'm quickly going to the beach I want to throw my towels swim shorts sunglasses and kindle into something and it's just that and you can fold it up inside of another bag it is so good and I forgot it when I went to on one of the trips this year I forgot the bag and the holiday was essentially pointless the difficulty level's just been increased by at least 50% and everything I'll take the big bag take my big bag put that passport in there no so I have travel safe which is a small oval lockable foam interior thing that then has a chain like a kind of like a plastic chain you can hook that around something that was when I was travelling and I didn't know if it was going to be safe in some hotel and that's a great idea that 10 quid that should be the life hack both of them now see I get anxiety having a laptop with me leaving it somewhere leaving it in the hotel room because you can't put your laptop in there really can you in the safe in the bag no not at all so you'll take your backpack with your image I just take it everywhere I leave the laptop in the hotel room yeah but it's okay you're not going to be able to get a big 15 or 13 inch laptop in one of those safes anyway that's true but the other benefit of that little backpack is it's hot which it probably is if you're on holiday having a sweaty back where your backpack's just like pressed against your back honestly it is so fantastic to have that and you've just got all the little things you can have you change you know just throw your change in there when you're going shopping places just tinker around amazing yeah Johnny I'm just getting the exact name because I think I've written the exact name down wrong oh it's a specific brand it's a bit of a bit so I have written it down wrong I love sharing that so I've written natural grass but it's actually amazing grass amazing grass amazing grass greens powder so the reason why I'll try that the one you gave me yeah so they make one that has cocoa in it and so I heard this concept I think I so this is a separate life hack which is if you're buying flavour things get chocolate flavour because chocolate flavour flavour something it typically tastes pretty authentic you get strawberry, banana, vanilla, whatever I've never had to taste it off I mean you're impatient zero you're so off-piste with flavouring well I've got 10 kilos still well the other half of the 10 kilos birthday cake pina colada pina colada birthday cake never again that was terrible do you never again get 5 kilos of pina colada?
10 kilos of pina colada yeah I'm just halfway through but the birthday cake it's a bit salty it's like eating salty dough with actual hundreds of thousands in the way who was that in a protein shake someone who wants birthday cake but yeah so they do a they do a cocoa like chocolate flavoured greens powder honestly like compared to your typical greens powder this is honestly palatable the level up is purely because of taste yeah yeah okay I can get behind that it's just easy naughty it's really easy compared to so I've tried some my protein and protein mugs they've flavoured them it's like superberry or blueberry or whatever it's a bit like tropical then you could add it to like chocolate whey you wouldn't even notice oh nice cool which you should also get chocolate whey it's the way to live your life in an easy way I think definitely when you're starting with a new supplement chocolate's a pretty safe one to go for but most companies now pretty much everyone does sample packs so just get a 25 gram single serving sample one of everything and then you can go I like this I don't like this you should write that you should make a post that just says buy a sample pack stick it to the front of you I've never got a sample pack but I feel like my days of experiment with whey that was when I was young you shouldn't use whey yeah I'll have the other but I've got a problem now which is because I get the bulk I usually get the largest increment of whey that I can with a single flavour but the new flavours coming out are coming out at a faster rate than how fast I consume whey how many proteins do you think you've had in the past five years that you've enjoyed like really genuinely thought that's nice is it less than 100 yeah definitely less than 100 you have one every day mm-hmm there's one more after we want more after that well I'm currently on the hunt for a new brand of protein I want something that actually tastes nice so if you guys have any suggestions I'm happy to pay I feel like you're the man with it so protein works some of their stuff's real good they've got some great flavours I don't want to go for some generic brand I want like some genetic supplements or something like that I don't get it like it's just protein yeah I agree it's such a transaction definitely and I've said this to protein works despite the fact I support the podcast the best protein I found at the moment is bulk powders beef isolate does it taste cheesy at all chocolate just pure chocolate the best chocolate ever but there's no there's not a single smidge of dairy in it and it isolates so it's super thin my protein do a beef a normal beef powder it's like you have to punch it down it's so like needy and thick and that you can add malt dextrin in I'll just give you is it nicer than a normal way or is it nicer because you're trying a lot of way taste wise yeah it depends I've really developed a taste for it I enjoy the taste of that particular shake now and the fact that I don't get even the slightest amount of stomach discomfort which I was getting really bad from weight you get bloaty yeah bloaty just uncomfortable then I switched to varying degrees of diet weight isolate still bad then switched to my protein's beef still wasn't too good because it was so thick just gelatinous glob of like this cylinder of just material that's coming down when you have to unblock a drain when you put Mr Muscle drain and block it down you see that bit of hair that just moves that's what it's like and then this is brilliant so if you're buying flavoured things get chocolates it's safe and that greens powder if you're one of these people who always thinks there's no reason why I shouldn't just have a greens powder I haven't had a greens powder in a second round right well so you just have it plain on its own tropical protein works and you think so half a glass of water get a greens powder no I've got one that's expired not to throw it away my protein veg powder that was like garlic and mushroom and I've mixed it with I've mixed it with leucine and psyllium husk and then just try and drink it down because it's so pungent you try and make it concentrate and you're like what's even worse so then you try and have it with a pint of water and you're like actually it's not diluted the flavour it still tastes just as concentrated and I've just got more to have to drink awful wow right so i've got quite a lot to get through today we can always say something next time you do one now okay we've got a few suggested from uh i was 50 years i'm not having that's why everyone here is watching because of you but well this is paul turner's paul not small he has said whenever something comes out like an event comes out and tickets are six months in advance whether or not you can go buy two because then you bought one and then you can just invite someone later you don't have to pick who it is you don't have to arrange it just close to the time you can go oh darren brown's coming to town what's your tickets how's he going and it's like that's a great tip i've low-key employed it myself previously and benefited from it brian cox took him on brilliant like you can always find someone to go with you to as long as good things well yeah yeah it's something really weird you really have to try and convince someone to come with you guys does anybody fancy going to the new dungeons and dragons launch so if that's the case then like that's a really fundamental like you've got to reevaluate your friends like if there's nothing there's a warhammer painting workshop happening in the back end of the town wall this week so you have monocle i think i'd go to both of those but just out of intrigue i'll probably say right i'm very voyeuristic for you yeah um okay right this one oh my god so sends to kindle extension for chrome on macbook wow you're getting so into kindle these days oh fuck man so i start using my kindle paperwork paperwork yeah so i love my kindle i don't like reading articles on my phone because phone the way that i use my phone is very skittish flicking around between apps i mean the rhythm of whatsapp and instagram stuff just it's how i operate on that i'm not good for deep reading laptop as well it's just you've got to be at my desk standing or sitting or doing whatever kind of not for me so kindle now is a article reader as well previously my solution to this was use evernote web clipper clip to evernote export as a html file repurpose and export as a pdf then use the center kindle i was so arduous man i just wanted it because you need to have it so it looks nice on kindle so it needs to be in pdf it needs to have converted it needs to have stripped the formatting it needs to have all the different stuff it's just ugly real bad process and then one day i just google is for a center kindle there is a center kindle extension for chrome that you can search now it'll be shown up below and you just press one button previews the whole thing makes it the perfect size allows you to zoom in and out with the font size that your preferences are on your kindle paperweight you can edit before it sends in browser you can edit the title and the author of the article you're talking about in case sometimes it doesn't pull through quite the right amount of data and it just sends it perfectly formatted to your kindle instantly every kindle device that you've got has that article does it save it like in your library yeah in the cloud every so it'll be on kindle on your phone kindle on you whatever man it and so i'm as opposed to sending stuff to pocket now pocket for me is low grade shit pocket is like sub five minute reads sub ten minute reads but if i've got meditations on moloch hour and a half reading this big monster of a blog post i want to do and i can just read it like a book and you can highlight passages that will save back out in oh man it's phenomenal i haven't had something that's changed the workflow and improved my life that much in ages so the problem i always have with like because you have toby and pocket like all these things like delay the time you're going to read something what i've never really had is a time when i would definitely read it but something that i do is only very recently just read a bit in the morning because it means i don't have to use my phone or my laptop or anything so i can take something from that and read it then so i think a good solution to that is either like attach it to a thing that you do that i guess like you haven't got on commute or anything so it doesn't apply for that but i find morning when i'm getting up brushing teeth making a tea or whatever is it the first sort of 10 15 minutes great time for just opening either pocket ever know something like that swiping down the two fingers from the top of the iphone and then it just reads the article so it's like an audiobook or just listening to an actual audiobook in that time so i wonder whether while you're waking up yeah listen or something or if there's any like dead time i guess if you're waiting for food in the microwave or something like that that's something we might not touch on before we're going back to another pocket which is a read later saving app on mobile has a function where for maybe about 60 percent of articles you can just press the headphones at the bottom of it and it'll just read an article that you've saved it used to be a great voice and now it's a weird american like digital something what you got uh you got which one to pick ben and jerry's move for you is this one of those low calorie it is but so low calorie ice creams are like all the ten a penny at the moment but for people who are like in the in the halo top crew like halo top compact so halo top is between 280 let's say 400 calories a tub move for it is slightly higher so it's around 607 calories a tub but it's way way more than a proportionally increasing taste for the increasing calories yeah like only 10 jerry's is it move for you what's it like so i think they only do like three or four like caramel one chocolate one hang on so it's move for you it's a range yeah okay so they're all purple tubs yeah so they have like some ben jerry's flavors are just like a lower calorie version they used to do a frozen yogurt like back in the day back in 2010 they stopped doing that they brought this out now so great how much of a tub do you need to eat to be satisfied because the problem i have with halo top is although i'm going to tell me that it's only 350 calories per tub mate yeah but for me to be satisfied because it's mostly air i have to eat the whole thing eat the whole thing so i probably would still eat the whole thing that's a big chunk of your calories for the day not really yeah i was gonna not eat the whole thing i just get normal ice cream a bit of it but i just i just don't think that's normal to the ben jerry's like 1200 yeah yeah so you're talking about 50% off yeah i don't think so i'm not like an ice cream connoisseur but i don't think i'm a blind taste test it may be maybe normal ben jerry's like way green yet is that is that really yeah i hope zero yeah so the later kind of coax yeah yeah yeah yeah so the other thing which is a separate life hack is which is related to this is i'm far happier buying a serving or something that i don't need the whole thing or not they feel like i have to ration myself so if i were if i were to go if i want some biscuits and i have a pack of a serving of three biscuits in a packet versus taking the three biscuits out of the packet and then putting the packet away i get way more driving out of eating the whole packet free than half or a portion of the packet there's a huge amount of nutritional psychology in that isn't there like and they look at people who have the people who tend to be the like natural weight gainers are the ones that will eat everything that's on their plates maybe from the way that we're acculturated or socialized when we're young to like you've got to finish your whole plate otherwise you don't get anybody like there's there's that and there's also that like we override our own satiety response because like well there's my plate gotta finish it yeah but it's still arbitrary amount of food if you haven't served it right if mum's put this on your plate that's the size of your plate yeah and actually now canteens no longer are allowed to discriminate when they look at like they do not ask you an extra bit of chips and now they have to just give people standard portion control yeah so why well just because it's someone got upset someone got upset it was all fine someone green hair yeah you see this article that's been shared around by Douglas Murray and some people recently saying i'm a heterosexual woman who's politically opposed to heterosexuality please help so it's a woman so it's a woman who's a heterosexual woman who is sexually attracted to men but hates the patriarchy doesn't like the fact that heterosexual men objectify women um so she is now trying to find a bi-curious man on grinder who has woke politics but will also fuck it and this all came out recently that's fine you can do what you like it sounds like she just needs like something better to do good roger yeah yeah like just like a hobby or like an interest that isn't just finding something just pick up i've tried to summarize your life hack as allow the manufacturer to do your portion control for you so yes i'm really buying that like if all of my food came in a packet i would eat all things i'd be so happy about that so you like discreet value that's the one in you isn't it i like to eat the whole packet and the whole packet is two and a half thousand calories within a protein i don't think i've ever seen you like eat a meal and then say i don't think i've had enough that well i'll just hold a little bit more off someone else's plate and now i'm fine i've had so many arguments with people when i was dieting where like we'd go out for a meal and i'd just save the portion i'd be like fuck i've got my calories and they go why don't you just eat half of it yeah it was stupid what do you mean it's half of it like if i'd rather eat all of it and know where i am then half of it yes like if i eat all of it i'll be able to find calories online and then i'll know i've had that many calories if i eat half of it's like well did i have three new brands that's that you know that you're gonna put that amount in you can just put 0.5 so i know but it's less fun isn't it it's less fun there'll be people who listen to this you think i really agree with that i just think i agree with that i think all of something is a very satisfying way to just organize your day right you said i bet you have a bit of a bag of granola don't you oh yeah you can't finish boxes of cereal why not because no one's made it yet is it your bag this is the nomo bag these are incredible i mean it's looking a bit tatty now i've had it for 10 years but they are designed with macbooks in mind so you can stick a little pink macbook in there and it's got a special pocket you can probably see that's lined with very macbook friendly stuff um this has been all around the world just absolutely great for transporting your macbook around um what is funny oh please can we try and get a camera what you haven't seen oh the condoms what are you laughing at like what are you originally laughing at like the croissants oh yeah it was as you explained the the macbook friendly compartment chris and i just exchanged a glance at like we both gave each other like being able to make it happen we both just went um so do you want to start i just yeah well i think so what what i was confused by was i feel like that's a very common backpack backpack feature that was why nowadays maybe back 10 years ago when the nomo pioneered the you said made with macbook in mind i think that's a that's a big claim made with macbook in mind that's that's actually it is it yeah so actually one of our clients i was buying a new one and i looked at the photo and i was like oh it's ready and it's one of our clients who's a model and he was modeling bag it's a good looking bag forever but i just i wish you don't believe so yeah and the other thing the other thing as well is you are with a man who has gone for the absolute ferrari of backpacks here oh yeah the built for athletes one tool oh no no tool is so i just have a tool yeah now i have a built for athletes one oh god you're very crossfit well actually the reason for that is um have you seen what's happened to the price of tool laptops yeah no no insane but then they are unbelievable so when i bought mine was 60 quid now that same bag is over 200 quid wow yeah and it broke the one i had the zip one you can tell so what i like about cool is when you see someone walking through an airport with one arm you're like it's just someone sounds like you guys speak arabic when you say cool how's it spelled t-h-u-l-e okay how would you pronounce that i can't believe that there was condoms in your bag and we weren't i can't believe it was macbook condoms croissants episode i also really like how your idea of a portable snack is pastry because you often pull out like the plastic packet of a like a pan of raisin right yeah i've collected some of these over a little while and some of them are real good but they've been fully integrated in my life that the novelty's worn off that's when you know that they're good because of course city mapper i think i know where this but fucking hell so it's essentially it's kind of google maps meets trainline.com meets the bus time table you put your location of where you want now and where you want to go in and it will give you all the different options of how to get there do you want to hail a cab do you want to get a mobile bike line scooter thing do you want to do a combination of walking and tube walking an overground train do you just want to walk the whole thing and you just choose and then once you press go on your chosen route especially if you're taking the tube it's linked in with the tube timetable so it tells you what time what platform you need to go on i need to go northbound so turn right when you get to the thing and it downloads it offline so that when you're underground in the tube it will know when you go and what you do is swipe right when you go up to the next thing it even knows the timing based on when it thinks the tube would have arrived and comes up on your phone saying you probably need to get off now like when it when it thinks you're at the next stop then you get off and you keep that's not GPS based that's time based it's a very clever app like it's nice having seen it grow over the years like oh have you been an old user yeah so it used to be relatively rudimentary and only have like one or two cities and now it's just like includes yeah uber cycling but these bike things uh walking estimates like all different methods and it just like tells you okay that's the quickest that's the cheapest here's how long it'll take this is how many calories it'll expend it even tells you how many calories you'll expend by doing each route man it's unreal is it like a paid version i'm just wondering right i think it must be as freemium freemium right here's me uh this is a journaling thing for those people who do journaling so there's a a lot of journals do like daily wins daily gratitude all that sort of thing something that i recently was kind of suggested i try was journal one thing that went badly in the day so generally like the worst thing that happened and then try and flip it so like why is that why is it a good thing that happened and then what am i going to do tomorrow and it's just constant evolution of you take the worst part of your day and try and reframe it can you give us some examples of things that you've written i mean it's like so it'll be all tiny propane very specific things but say you're right finishing that with this is good because and then fortune's off to because there's always you know like you know the jocko willing video good like reload there's all there is always something good i think there's uh had a training session um where i was under slept in and reading perfectly fine i learned how i was able to get through a session of a non-perfect so like an argument you had or something went wrong like injured my back like why is that good well it's an opportunity to warm up properly in the future or etc so it's injured it's a good last year battalion brilliant everything's fucking good so then then she had something with me that um has ruined jocko for me forever so you know how jocko's instagram's like just photos of it 4am 4am it's not that it's a video of him and then the other thing is a photo of the sweat on the floor yeah aftermath single kettlebell it was a video of him doing chin-ups and training at the garage and you realise like it's just a guy in like his 50s training and it's just not the spectral form it's not at all impressive it's like you're like like it's okay but you imagine this like hulking massive like square door and a sea like ripping it up but actually it's like and it's just ruined ruined it's massive though what's his name? black guy David Goggins no it's not David Goggins what do you mean David Goggins? Charlie it's like Charlie or something Goggins I don't know what you mean I know the one you mean yeah he does the podcast with him he's like David Goggins David Goggins so rapid fire round these are the suggestions buy loose bananas instead of packs for less waste at various levels of ripeness that's from Paul McGurran very clever so you buy a range of bananas ranging from the most ripe and then like as the week goes on you have a conveyor belt very good page power lifts we're not fond of this one sorry Tom drive 10 miles per hour slower on the motorway so that implies you are few economy you're driving too fast in which case like obviously you might get to take it as a risk with that to be honest I probably do need to do that because I think like it just takes out the rushing mindset I think you tend to get a lot of car crashes yeah you love a good bug don't you I love a good bug so yeah I need to maybe just slow down a bit Nick Montez saves 30 minutes better ROI than a shoe and it's followed up with porn no car windscreen takes 30 minutes to clear it's not as much active effort there's always the break glass in case you're having lukewarm water and I know it might crack the windscreen if you've got a guess so you know I actually saw people opposite my house fill up a freezer bag run into the house fill up a freezer bag with hot water run out and like use it to drape it across yeah so I draped it and clear the screen if you've got a life hack I know that Yusuf is deploying something he's been sent here by people that follow the appropriate Instagram if you have any life hacks put them in the show notes below sorry put them in the comments below on YouTube or just message them to me and I'll feed you the next time if they're not shit but if it's drive slower you're not getting on it so well one of these has to win our ebook so the final two heat column beard apron dash collect all the hair I imagine that's like a device that you wear on the scene so it's like you wear this necklace around the back of your neck and it's a sheet of material that then goes on as suction cups that go on to the mirror mirror okay so if someone comes in the bathroom it's easy that's like is the final one good Monzo linked to if this then that automatically save money every day I'd like to see how you implement that feed because that could be quite good I think I know which Pete that is Ramit Sethi's a big fan of automating new finances if you don't do that you're a willy because bills don't need to be paid manually direct debit everything it's like going back to a manual car now like thinking I have to think about manually changing the transmission of my car as a change to feed like why is that ever a human there are some people some coaches I work with that have billed me manually with an invoice yeah like fuck so I think my favourite out of them is the bananas yeah bananas made it my range of right bananas has made it onto the Lifehack thing all the other ones I can't do that with apples I can do that with apples I can do that with apples to a banana personally having a really overripe apple is horrible as well okay so my next one is improve your email signature so I had a terrible email signature it was all that if this message is for the intended recipient if we scan our viruses it's not a significant environment who the fuck if someone gets infected with a virus because you sent it to them they're not going to go oh well you have that disclaimer on the bottom that said voodoo events do all they can to try and scan for viruses please be find what people put on YouTube no copyright infringement intended oh yeah DCMS are going to really be worried about that I'm going to crack down on you because you've stolen a lot of Michael Jackson music so my email signature went through and just cut it down to the bare minimum which also includes names so I never have to say thanks Chris now which I kind of was doing before because it was obviously clunky then create the email signature on Gmail hyperlink the text so you can select the text so it says fill the nightclubs at voodoo Newcastle voodoo Newcastle links to our website host of Mono Wisdom Podcast Mono Wisdom links then you can copy and paste that cross into notes copy and paste that out of notes into your email signature section on iPhone and it will retain the hyperlinks as well and all of the formatting you've also got the quote below and you're like it is better to have loved and lost than never loved that was last week it's live laugh love now live laugh love yeah give me it's my favourite type of I don't know if people don't freak anymore but putting a really inane quote that like is like pseudo inspirational you imagine on like someone on Instagram like with like text John Peterson's personal email address has the truth will set you free I'm not kidding mine's just on my Apple Mail like when I select the email account I want to mail from it brings up the signature yeah I'm Arthur Blobson exactly that's why yeah I have heard that I can't remember if it was it was like if you sell anything put the URL in the signature and then like it's just free traffic it's the most free traffic the trouble with that is we email a lot of customers and I don't want customers back in the front end that's not a waste right now all the work I have to do to segment and split them off in the right place so this is a bit of a theme that I've been trying to do this year so kind of like my new year thing was to produce influence from a guy called Sam Evans you know you're a massive fan of Sam Evans so just the idea of so what I've historically done is laid my self-improvement habits I think this is the best way to find life hacks is I've typically had like weekends where I'll wake up late or do things a bit differently or like I'll modify my days a bit but I try as much as possible to wake up at the same time every day so like I'm like a minute out since like the 5th of January go to bed at the same time every day train the same days of the same week at the same time eat at the same time so you just create this like framework over your day it's the same every time so you start to feel hungry at the same time start to feel tired at the same time and my morning routine is exactly the same and I've got it down to an hour so I know you were chatting about this last time like if you know so I know that by 8am I'm done go downstairs coffee feed Dexter Becca walks Dexter go upstairs cold shower start away by this time everything everything in your life is so much easier because like you want what Sam says is like you're not fighting hormones like you're not fighting like randomly feeling hungry at 10am because you waited yesterday not randomly feeling tired at 9.30 but when you've got that running so like the life hack is one rather than try to do what I think most people do is like right now's the time I'm going to improve myself I'm going to pick this really complicated thing I'm going to try and stick to it pick like the most basic bit of your vision and do it perfectly for like 14 days and then try and pick the little optimisation points what's an example of that? so the guy you interviewed the efficiency don't think guy spoke about like write out your morning routine for example and then look for little ways you can make it better so rather than like I'm going to wake up and stretch and journal and read and exercise and have a brain check pick like three things or one thing that you know you're going to be able to do and prove it to yourself that for 14 days I'm never going to miss then add one thing in when you have that you can spot like actually like add this and I'll make that a little bit better a little bit quicker like I'll brush my teeth then so to add to that then the thing that this guy talked about I've used the example of Henry Ford's first public speech about his manufacturing process that was my example that was my example don't give it to him oh god okay sorry quit as an example where he rather than doing up his shirt from top to bottom and then putting his tie on it was put the shirt buttons on from bottom to top and his hands are already in the same spot to do the tie and although that sounds like a silly thing when it's Henry Ford and that's scaled over in the factory it's like and so the idea of like batching your tasks so that you have your toothbrush and floss in the shower you wake up you turn the shower on you go and boil the kettle you come back close off in the shower you wash your it's shampoo that's it so you wash your body from top to bottom rather than like lather up the lower parts of your body and then try and work up and then you've got more cleaning to do I think that I know it sounds so basic like I didn't say it because I like to say like just do the same thing every day sounds so but it's actually very hard when you're self-employed as well and there's no limits so like I know my shower is 10 minutes long there's a very specific reason why it's 10 minutes long because I'm progressively much within a five minute window when I'm starting work and so then I know when I'll finish work and it's just everything is so much easier and there'll be people who are like yeah obviously mate but like how many people lie in on the weekend because they think that that's improving their sleep when actually it almost certainly isn't so just try that that's really helped me that's great so I think that principle can apply to a lot of work as well which is like and this is where Gantz charts come in where if you're not aware of what Gantz charts is is where you have multiple streams or strands of the process all happening in parallel and then you've got to see which ones are bottlenecked by other ones so which one is required before you can do the next one which ones need to be started and then left to run on their own and don't require further input but you need to wait for them and basically what can you look at within a lot of projects that you can set all these dominos off go away and do something else rather than sit and wait for that dominos to fall and then come back to it you'll find you can compress quite a lot of tasks it's just like go to a lift people come in the lift you fart then you get out of the lift like it's perfect rather than you do not need a Gantz chart to make this work you can do it quite easily just off your own back a perfect example of that is if you're going to sit down and do a morning routine and you have a coffee between waking up and like starting my so the first thing I do is I'll read because it's like the lowest kind of effort thing to do but I'm just so like even though I'm getting like 7,500 sleep 7,500 sleep I'll wake up I'm a bit slow so but this is the thing that's kind of what I mean like what I'm looking for now is what can I do to kind of drop me away so that's what I'm going to ask so this is why I bought a 50-foot trampoline I'm so ready to start stop the podcast stop the podcast I think that deserves to reversing the order of film yeah thank you just put that at the beginning what?
so you know rebound the trampoline do you know what I mean like a small trampoline don't really want to train because I typically feel like overall worse thought about doing like I could do burpees or like if I move it might get my blood flowing but like realistically who is going to wake up and do burpees? no one so you get on the trampoline bounce you get off the trampoline firstly it's way harder than you think like way harder than you think secondly there's not really any physical impact at all other than so just to recap you've bought a trampoline yes like if you imagine a big trampoline it's a little smaller one yes and you're going that's going to be your thing I am doing that bounce so the biohackers handbook suggests that it doesn't bring up that surprisingly what it does say no no no so you need to be upside down with hands on ground so you'd kick a pontual wall like you would have used to have done in CrossFit I struggle Chris to get no handstand the chance of me getting to a handstand at 10% this is how you'll this is how you'll get your domain of confidence up so you can do it I think you're very deeply capable of it yeah it's not to do a press it's just to go into a handstand and that just gets the blood down in your head that's precisely what it's do yeah and hypoxtension yeah good one yeah it's because first thing in the morning your identity reset is not active that's why you don't need caffeine in the first 90 minutes so your adrenal system is what's active that and what's the stress on one cortisol cortisol cortisol way too up in the morning right so adrenal system gets activated salt and water and going upside down my god I'm going to do it I mean that's your upside down just for fun yeah it's true I just love being upside down so I'm going to start doing that do you prefer being upside down to being right way up it's really meditative a lot of really advanced handstanders they all describe it as a very meditative experience I think it's because you know the zen things about balancing stones it's just that you're totally focused on maintaining your line and it does just like it would be beneficial it's just more shoulder load there's a lot of you going through your arms as well yeah it's hard so I put yours down as eat to sleep and train at the same time add habits in yeah so like once you've got that like once you're running and kind of doing that consistently then looking for like how can I improve this that's what you have at the time so it's like so before you're like how can I make my three hour morning routine think like well why don't I wake up at the same time for five days and then start to slowly add things in so just adding on to that I didn't know that there's a rationale behind it that I've always found first coffee of the day decaf so the coffee I have in the morning while I'm doing my morning routine's decaf I don't have a coffee until eight or nine I just feel better what time are you waking up? ten to six fifty between six forty nine and six fifty one I love that there's a window that's that tight yeah what's the window? well you know I'm only human Chris yeah Yusuf?
speaking of making these little optimisations and you know you do it in like a social situation where you might have met people that when they introduce themselves and they say their name and they kind of mumble it or they say it in a weird way or like they've got a name like Iona and they go what? and so something I'd like both of your advice on is when you're doing a reptile exam on someone the typical thing that people say is can you bear down on my finger? and most people are like they don't understand and then if you say squeeze my finger sometimes they'll they'll try and reach around and try and squeeze your finger so Mike has resorted to saying imagine you're mid poo and you have to quickly nip it off but I think starting a sentence with imagine it's too involved so just to get while you were describing that basically I tried to bear down with my bum and I squeezed my glutes but some people think that's flex some people think it's relaxed like yeah because it's the end of day would say push your ass all out but that's as if you're going to have a poo isn't it and the other one that I've heard one person use terrible is imagine you're trying to suck a straw through your bum I think that's brilliant there's a lot of glute activation going on so the first one is like bear down I think I think hip thrust whereas when you send a nip off the poo I might find exactly what it means remember this is people who if you say squeeze my finger and they might be a bit confused might be a bit delirious you've got to give them the most they're also laid on their side on a medical examination bed with their pants around their knees with a finger at the bone so you can't be too what's your solution? then what's the question?
because you initially said nip someone called Iona and now we're trying to remember I'm going to try and nip off my fingers what does Iona have to do? but if you've got like I don't know what's a name that doesn't work well with my name is or I am what's that going to do directly to them? because that's one of the optimizations that's like something that you do a lot something I do a lot oh I see like improving sentence yeah that optimizes it over time so look at the things that you do and maybe it's like try and stop poo I'm not pooing I'm not pooing on that but I think Mike's got it yeah of all those things try and nip off the poo I just imagine you trying imagine you trying to stop yourself from poo what would you do why do you want to do that to see if they can hold it yeah 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 you're just saying that what that means now I'm going to do a series of blood test can you feel your bum hole and they're like oh I'm not really and you're like you realise the impact of you saying that this decision can you definitely feel you're like right and then sometimes oh no actually I can but then yeah anyway if any of 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 exactly because there are people that maybe it's just like someone asks them do you have this that's like signing up to one of the very very long email trigger sequences on propanefitness.com isn't it that's the wrong button you are 30 days of one email a day you opt in that's it I have a totally neutral feeling towards someone needing to recollect on me neutral feeling I like to think I would only get myself in that position I can't imagine at the end someone saying oh no what would you do I guess that's the good thing maybe not it comes back to like Life Hacks 101 or something where we were saying would it improve or reduce your enjoyment if the other party enjoying pleasure from you because most of the time the person doing it also isn't having a great time either on Peep Show they ask each other one's like could you have sex with me if you had to and he was like yeah as long as I think you weren't enjoying it I could do it and he was like you could have sex with me if you were raping me but you couldn't have sex with me if I was enjoying it it's kind of such a big illustration of like why is it that I might have it that way but look Johnny mentioned so Johnny mentioned a mouse oh really it's a mouse I didn't like it because there's people listening that don't know what's happening here okay that's true I'm just saying words for the audio people so mouse is a iPhone case that is very protective their marketing is about throwing off buildings and all that kind of stuff and it's a single case you can't solve we've already gone through it we've gone through it well yeah because Johnny talked about so oh no so this is the it's called a Toro similar to book book just basically a leather case it's because I tried to just final frontier only carrying my phone around to never do cash and I got caught out at the barber's having a haircut the guy was even telling me about oh it's a scumbag we just did a runner and he said he was going to go to the cash machine and he just left and he didn't pay and I'm like oh terrible I would never do that and at the end he was like right £10 and I was like do you take a card no I haven't got a card with me I've just got my mouse and my phone so I can't withdraw cash and I can't I don't have any cash and I forgot to return the cash so I had to get so you were the person previously that he was talking we just got a great mouse magnetic thing that Chris wouldn't let me forget that but luckily book book does a bunch of things protects your phone if you drop it can you describe what it is for the people that listen it's another book shaped case it's front and back right it's not a case it's actually a screen cover as well it is I've had people take this out of your work for being a dad I make a lot of dad jokes and I've got a very dad the last one was very very Muslim the last one was a little miniature sort of religious script oh yeah it was very much the other great thing is if you do a lot of videos or if you sit on trains and watch Netflix or something you don't use the AirPod case if you want to pay £250 to see tampons speaking of which I've lost my AirPod Pro case oh crap you've lost the case but not the Buds £250 for a new one £8 could be worse how much are the pots themselves £70 because it's cheaper to just buy a left one you can't do it in the only case right let's do I'll do one more and then we'll do a quick fire round so okay this one's a real hack so I flew Emirates a fair bit this winter and on both the flight to and the flight back from Dubai to Bali one of my friends was on who's a girl who's one of the AirStases and she gave me a hack of how to get unlimited free internet on Emirates is it to know one of the AirStases and I'm going to give you and maybe have had sex with them definitely haven't had sex with her so when you go on Emirates it'll come up and it'll say how do you and you get to choose if you want unlimited instant messaging or 20 megabytes of data 20 megabytes of data is like a trial thing and then after that you get to pay for however much you have after that choose the 20 megabytes of data so you don't want to be restricted to just the messaging 20 megabytes of data and once you've used it go back into your settings go to the wifi network that you're on press in on air the little i then as you see it there'll be a bunch of things like a renew lease and a DC ID and other stuff client ID that's just three numbers change those to any other three numbers and it'll reset and you can just use 20 megabytes again and just keep going that is unlimited free internet on every emirates flight for the rest of time have we thought about that when i had that on emirates yes and you went over somewhere they've got your data and then you were going to be charged £700 £3,700 £3,000 did you fall asleep I fell asleep you didn't turn me off and wanted to complain at O2 yeah i just didn't put my phone in airplane mode like west asleep 40 minutes into the flight open my phone text welcome to you on air Ukraine yeah and it was like you're being charged £8,000 a megabyte I pay £8,000 for a footage of that month I'm going to be realising to count to count I'm going to go I just sat mincing for the rest of the thank you okay his name yes eat lean cheese protein hamper elaborate so this is very again you said that adds great cheese to things to add calories eat lean they make it a standard cheese you can buy in Tasco that's very low calorie like deep fatted cheese it's very hard quite flavourless on the eat lean website they do loads they do like a red lesser they do a smoked one they do like loads of different cheeses and they do a hamper which gives you all of it to try like spreads dips everything they've got parmesan style and I'm going to end stuff quite well to parmesan so it's close to parmesan right it's like when I order it it's £3,000 including delivery it's a protein supplement essentially and low fat very low fat oh wow incredible that's great so like 300 grams do you want me to tell you what macros are no do you care I'm already a molecular is that him I do care yes it's him it's him so 100 grams it's incredible 100 grams has 36 grams of protein 3 grams of fat and 2 grams of carbs it's the rest of it yeah just protein I just want to know what's the matter made up of I mean when you eat it you can tell there's not much fat in it you don't eat it creamy delicious you eat it close enough to cheese you reset your own exact point to that if you've been drinking red milk for ages then you try blue milk same as my beef isolate protein thing it just becomes more as opposed to the column that you're having to so like all the carbs to get the same calories from even like low calorie cheese you're just adding so much bollocks to your calories but you said you couldn't get this particular cheese in the store you can get a standard one so can I get if I find a particular type of cheese in that hamper that I like you can get it from the website not from the shop yeah but can I get like can I double down on the red last day absolutely lovely right Seth hourglass no hourglass no hourglass hourglass so we've been using various Pomodoro timer apps recently and actually if the task that you're doing in Pomodoro is not digital or you just don't want a digital distraction having an analog timer is brilliant you should have bought me and Johnny for Christmas a one hour beautiful brass and glass hourglass I never ran it's brass and glass yeah it would be it would be for prostitutes to shit on tables in front of them brass and glass it sounds like a trendy barbershop or somewhere they also do tattoos you have a bar with but it's all like hipster kind of I imagine like a dark bar where they do cocktails that have steam coming up anyone who's out there that needs a name for a if anyone steals an idea we will see some last 60 faster then you know what's happening yeah the hourglass analog hourglass was lovely Yusuf how did you spend your New Year's Eve I didn't have any kind of invites or anything I didn't have any invites to anything I don't what did you do on your New Year's Eve I would say Weilen Brewery what did you do before that have people that would go to Weilen Brewery at my house that sounds really nice do you think how nice does that sound almost like a party well I mean not really because I spoke to Dab Gibson in the gym earlier on I said what are you doing tonight he said I'm going to Johnny's for a party I'm going to a party at his house then I text you and I said hi mate what are you doing tonight and you said I can see why you're both upset but it's not how I feel like you've been given a slither of information I know that you went to Weilen Brewery but I just feel wouldn't it have been nice if we'd even just early before even just an impact so I come around for for 60 minutes and go see you later could have set the hourglass is that what it was related to oh I come around twist John's hourglass and then leave when it expires I would have just liked to have been involved I mean what did you do well not that but what did you do I ended up going to work to work I knew you were at Weilen Brewery I could have gone to your house before Weilen Brewery or I could have gone to work to do your work instead of wine you've done your tickets I've done your tickets anyway we've been planning that in case you didn't know we've been planning that for a little while it felt planned it felt quite nasty it was so hourglass where did you get that hourglass from? the guilt shop the guilt shop well so what's really really sad and I felt guilty about this was my girlfriend for Christmas after I'd ordered three hourglasses but they were still coming in the post they were still coming in the post and one of the presents I unwrapped and I was like I don't know what this is and it was an hourglass but it wasn't as nice as the brass and glass special one and she was like I've been looking for bloody ages to find a 20 minute timer so you can do a Pomodoro in it and I found one eventually after hours of looking it's 20 minutes so you can do it and I'm like a Pomodoro's 25 minutes and also I've got a really nice one coming yeah if you have a B-Focus Pro I think an hour is a better amount of time than 25 minutes two Pomodoros yeah because 25 minutes I was quite having caught up in my flow there's a little bit in there okay my final one do the washing up to the pots and pans and utensils immediately after cooking otherwise it gets hard it's just so easy it is 30 seconds now or two minutes tomorrow that's it and you're waiting for the food to cool or your scales or whatever like you've put it away and I just clear it up like 30 seconds whiz round job done and it is it's a game changer so that's it for today thank you for tuning in we have what the hell I've got his quickfire oh I don't know do you want to do another one bonus round I've got some quickfires no no life at 112 and you've fucking run out with me the day look at you now spraying them all over Sonicare toothbrush I tell it so Becca was waiting for Boxing Day sales for quite a long time to get us both these Sonicare toothbrushes so have you got one I think I've got one so what I like I know I have a toothbrush I've got an electronic so the great thing about it is you press a button and then it goes for 10 minutes and it has a quadrant timer so you do like the bottom quarter and then you go to the top quarter and the case that you carried in has a USB charger on the bottom of it it's just brilliant I feel really enthusiastic about Russian medicine none of this is game changing but I'm aware is this your first venture into the electric toothbrush world so I had a cheap shit I think if you haven't I've got one or ever used one it's a game changer so mine I was the same I've done from complete to just manual it's like using a manual car and then realizing I don't need to do this what does that do yeah let's go I'm still waiting to invest in a water flosser have you got one I've got one but I'm wavering about it I've been using I'm using like the sticks and the dry bristle brush things but they make me bleed why are you not using a water flosser so you have got one it does make me feel more fresh but I still feel like getting in between the teeth so I'd love to know what a dentist's opinion on that is David Brent will be listening because he's just had a kid and he's got nothing to do except for just clean poo so David Brent please let us know not poo on teeth the internet is way time David anyway gents thank you very much we've got some left over LifeFacts 112 it's been like four months since we were the last one so it won't be as long for
