Juan's back baby ..... and with a baby!!!
In Episode #389 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: my latest contracting of Covid (most likely), why there are 3 big babies in these parts, general preventions we take to avoid getting sick, psychological tricks to reduce the suffering, recent changes that have made us less selfish and a new test of the Boostagram Lounge at the end.
Huge support from McIntosh, Chris Fisher & the double from Petar! Massive appreciation to these early adopters.

00:00:03,753 --> 00:00:10,592
Welcome Mere
Mortals to another episode
2
00:00:06,296 --> 00:00:13,512
of The Mere Mortals Musings.
You have your two favorite
3
00:00:10,843 --> 00:00:14,805
Mere Mortals here.
You've got Kyrin on this side
4
00:00:14,805 --> 00:00:16,349
and Juan
on the other side of the mic.
5
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:17,850
And Juan
is definitely going to be sick
6
00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:22,105
and there's a reason for that.
Oh, you know the baby
7
00:00:19,728 --> 00:00:23,690
and she is going to be
spreading the sickness.
8
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,984
So a Musing’s episode
is where we pick a topic
9
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:28,486
and we dive deeper into it
and examine
10
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:31,030
all of the little nooks
and crannies. Typically,
11
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:33,533
we do the boostagram
lounge in the middle bit.
12
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,868
We're going to switch it up
and try doing it at the end today
13
00:00:35,868 --> 00:00:39,539
because Juan
might have a hard out
14
00:00:36,453 --> 00:00:42,125
and we might run out of time.
So we'll we'll
15
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:46,378
just see with regarding that.
The reason I chose this one was,
16
00:00:46,378 --> 00:00:49,423
well, first of all, date
today is Wednesday 24th May.
17
00:00:49,423 --> 00:00:52,844
We're live. So for everyone
who hasn't heard this before,
18
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:55,054
we do
go live and eat on Wednesdays
19
00:00:55,054 --> 00:00:57,307
7 p.m., Australian
Eastern Standard Time.
20
00:00:57,307 --> 00:01:01,185
So the reason I picked
this one was basically
21
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:04,272
all that has happened to me
this last week has
22
00:01:04,272 --> 00:01:09,778
just been I've gotten sick.
And that's kind of like dominated
23
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:12,489
my thoughts, dominated by
just everything
24
00:01:10,444 --> 00:01:15,115
that I was meant to do
has been like, All right, well,
25
00:01:13,072 --> 00:01:16,117
I guess I'm sick now and
I'm just dealing with that.
26
00:01:16,117 --> 00:01:20,037
So it got wrecked and it was
truly out of the blue as well.
27
00:01:20,496 --> 00:01:23,500
36 hours of straight up
suck for anyone who didn't
28
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:32,132
join the live. But I wanted to, I
guess, start with the
29
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:34,593
maybe some of our experiences
and then we can get into like
30
00:01:32,132 --> 00:01:37,638
the prevention and prevention
and management of sicknesses
31
00:01:34,593 --> 00:01:41,558
and maybe how we can
futureproof ourself from them
32
00:01:39,224 --> 00:01:45,605
and whatnot.
So one of the things to
33
00:01:41,558 --> 00:01:48,775
start off with was every time
I check up on Pete Smithson,
34
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:51,778
he's always sick, man.
He is just getting these
35
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:53,822
constant sicknesses from
he says is due to day care.
36
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:57,492
But I think it's kind of day
care come pangolin wet market
37
00:01:57,492 --> 00:02:00,787
that he's obviously
taking his children to so on.
38
00:02:01,328 --> 00:02:03,706
First question for you.
Do you think this is the future
39
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:08,377
is the future of one year
when little Vienna
40
00:02:05,707 --> 00:02:10,838
is going to all the daycares?
Are you just going to get wrecked
41
00:02:10,838 --> 00:02:14,717
or is it just weak
Pete's Constitution? Well,
42
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:17,387
probably a bit of weeks, Pete,
but I was
43
00:02:14,717 --> 00:02:21,098
I was thinking about this
in typical one
44
00:02:17,387 --> 00:02:23,600
fashion of thinking, yeah,
how can I spin this to say,
45
00:02:21,306 --> 00:02:26,770
you know, I can get away with it
or No, my, my fortitude
46
00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:28,313
in terms of my training
and my health
47
00:02:28,313 --> 00:02:30,817
is going to be so superb
that it won't happen.
48
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:33,819
But no, it will.
And I think undoubtedly,
49
00:02:33,819 --> 00:02:35,697
you know, your kid,
you know, for me,
50
00:02:35,697 --> 00:02:38,449
having a little baby girl
and as she goes, I'm sure
51
00:02:38,449 --> 00:02:39,950
she's going to pick up things
as she goes along.
52
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:43,955
And that's just part of,
you know,
53
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:46,915
increasing the immunity from,
you know, a human can pick up
54
00:02:44,830 --> 00:02:49,043
things to be sick for
and then allow yourself
55
00:02:46,915 --> 00:02:52,045
to be able to recover
and build up
56
00:02:49,043 --> 00:02:53,338
that resistance to it.
So I do think
57
00:02:52,296 --> 00:02:56,008
I can get away with it.
I think there is a future where
58
00:02:56,008 --> 00:02:58,510
you might be in the predominant,
you know, how
59
00:02:58,510 --> 00:03:00,763
we would usually and for us
and we're talking here
60
00:03:00,763 --> 00:03:02,890
just the two of us,
the current in myself,
61
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:06,728
we don't necessarily
see what people consider the,
62
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:08,937
you know, the wave of sickness
that might be going around.
63
00:03:08,937 --> 00:03:12,233
This would be with COVID or
with flus or something else.
64
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,611
We don't generally get the flu
or our the sicknesses
65
00:03:15,611 --> 00:03:19,449
when other people do purely
because we. All right.
66
00:03:19,449 --> 00:03:22,784
Even now, because this
this one that now
67
00:03:22,784 --> 00:03:28,081
it seems everyone's getting it.
My brother's friend is look
68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,168
and if it's like sorry pandemic
it nature that everyone's
69
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:32,711
getting it, well, you're
probably going to get it
70
00:03:30,793 --> 00:03:34,756
And that's the thing.
But, you know, this is a case
71
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:36,341
where for me, I'm
probably going to be venturing
72
00:03:36,341 --> 00:03:40,219
into the next couple of years
into, oh, it's flu season
73
00:03:40,510 --> 00:03:44,098
and there is no two ways
about it. I'm going to get it.
74
00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:48,436
It's not like I've in the past
where it's like it's flu season
75
00:03:46,058 --> 00:03:52,189
and I can avoid it.
Yeah, I've never changed
76
00:03:48,436 --> 00:03:54,108
or altered my behavior
because people have said,
77
00:03:52,189 --> 00:03:55,568
Oh, it's flu season
now or anything like that.
78
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:58,570
It's always been going on.
Well, you know,
79
00:03:58,570 --> 00:04:01,449
that's just like every winter,
so it doesn't affect me.
80
00:04:02,616 --> 00:04:07,080
Yeah, it's I look to the
point to the point of Pete
81
00:04:03,825 --> 00:04:11,292
sort of mentioning it, it's
there's going to be
82
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:14,294
I doubt it amount of sickness
and malice that's going to be
83
00:04:11,292 --> 00:04:17,423
coming into my household,
into the future
84
00:04:14,419 --> 00:04:20,468
and I'm saying malice
Yeah it's less about
85
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:22,720
the control I think I can
imply upon my little girl.
86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,516
Other people, because, you know,
you take them to daycare
87
00:04:24,514 --> 00:04:29,226
or school or life
and they're going
88
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:30,812
to bring something back.
There's not much
89
00:04:29,226 --> 00:04:31,396
I can do about that.
I think it's more on
90
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:35,942
the preventative side
of what I can do. But in terms of
91
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:39,987
what life is going to draw me
in the positions of more
92
00:04:37,151 --> 00:04:41,281
sickness being around me, yeah,
that's just going to come.
93
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:45,242
So I can see that
that to be my future. Hmm.
94
00:04:45,492 --> 00:04:48,788
How do you handle actual
sickness when you get it?
95
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:51,708
So, like,
let me I assume you've had
96
00:04:52,834 --> 00:05:00,341
minor with maybe a couple of ones
which were more intense
97
00:04:57,672 --> 00:05:02,677
in nature of your life.
And, man, I am such a baby.
98
00:05:02,677 --> 00:05:05,680
I'm the epitome of the cry
baby, the big baby.
99
00:05:06,471 --> 00:05:10,685
Call me Vienna because I just
struggle so much.
100
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:15,398
Any minor infraction
upon my thinking,
101
00:05:15,398 --> 00:05:20,528
especially upon my sleep
and just on my kind
102
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:23,865
of abilities to
do things, it throws
103
00:05:21,278 --> 00:05:26,826
everything out of whack.
And I kind of let it
104
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:28,827
I let this routine just
smack me around.
105
00:05:28,827 --> 00:05:33,040
And there's not a drop of
stoic virtue to be found in me
106
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:38,713
when it comes to getting sick.
I just struggle
107
00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:41,923
and suck and mope.
And it's a funny thing because I
108
00:05:42,132 --> 00:05:44,177
the whole point of well,
not the whole point,
109
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:49,307
but a lot of stoic
virtues is to be able
110
00:05:45,677 --> 00:05:51,434
to, you know, to carry on
when you're
111
00:05:49,307 --> 00:05:54,937
in adverse circumstances.
And that includes obviously,
112
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:58,858
the personal dramas
and things of life, but
113
00:05:54,937 --> 00:06:00,610
also the straight up physical.
You know,
114
00:05:59,108 --> 00:06:03,196
you got your leg chopped off.
Yeah. Now trapped in slavery,
115
00:06:00,942 --> 00:06:05,281
you've got pneumonia,
whatever it is. So I don't know.
116
00:06:05,281 --> 00:06:06,824
How do you
how do you actually handle it
117
00:06:06,824 --> 00:06:09,576
once you get a sickness?
Are you a big baby?
118
00:06:09,576 --> 00:06:12,579
Well, look, let me model some.
So the answer is, of course,
119
00:06:12,579 --> 00:06:14,206
we're all big babies
at some form.
120
00:06:14,206 --> 00:06:16,918
It depends on the level for me
and I was talking about
121
00:06:16,918 --> 00:06:19,295
the example before we went
probably a lot in the podcast,
122
00:06:19,295 --> 00:06:23,925
but I'll retell it is last week,
I'm sure
123
00:06:22,255 --> 00:06:25,050
had some level of sickness
maybe of what's going around
124
00:06:25,050 --> 00:06:28,012
and what you had
maybe was an inferior level
125
00:06:28,012 --> 00:06:32,641
because I didn't feel that much.
Those in generality, it's
126
00:06:32,641 --> 00:06:35,644
probably a common cold
or something around the nature
127
00:06:35,894 --> 00:06:39,899
what I had going on with life
just as a byproduct of
128
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:42,276
just having a baby slash
other things.
129
00:06:42,276 --> 00:06:45,112
There was no time to mope
or to be a big baby.
130
00:06:45,112 --> 00:06:48,574
And in general
I don't act like that anyways,
131
00:06:46,238 --> 00:06:52,495
when I'm sick, you know,
I'll still keep my normal
132
00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:54,038
routine of waking up early
time, my normal meals,
133
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:55,956
training, running,
whatever it may be.
134
00:06:55,956 --> 00:07:01,086
It doesn't really deviate.
And I can I can champion through
135
00:06:58,459 --> 00:07:04,632
that little infractions. So do
you need to use more willpower
136
00:07:01,629 --> 00:07:07,718
to do all those things? For sure,
In some instances, no.
137
00:07:07,718 --> 00:07:10,805
Such as training for me
and I'll get to that.
138
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:13,348
Unless it's a real hardcore
sickness
139
00:07:13,348 --> 00:07:16,185
that's probably even better.
Like, I genuinely feel better
140
00:07:16,185 --> 00:07:17,769
even when I'm
seeing such a strain.
141
00:07:17,769 --> 00:07:23,692
If it's if it's at a lower level,
maybe the sleeping
142
00:07:20,355 --> 00:07:27,028
less, the extra focus
going without particular
143
00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:28,656
things like let's say
if it's if I'm sick
144
00:07:27,028 --> 00:07:30,408
on a particular day. And again
I'm talking like medium
145
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:34,286
to low level sickness,
if I'm not having a coffee
146
00:07:34,286 --> 00:07:36,706
or something else
to motivate me, slash
147
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:39,040
energize me, okay,
It is more difficult,
148
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,084
of course, to be focused
and everything else.
149
00:07:41,084 --> 00:07:44,504
I have it normally.
So without that
150
00:07:42,252 --> 00:07:46,673
it's going to be more of a
push for me.
151
00:07:46,673 --> 00:07:49,802
But there is a boundary and look
there are examples of how
152
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:52,846
this many times in my life
where I'll get hit with
153
00:07:50,927 --> 00:07:55,391
something that,
you know, equivalent to what
154
00:07:52,846 --> 00:07:57,935
you just explained or worse,
where it'll be 36
155
00:07:55,391 --> 00:08:00,396
hours, 48 hours,
maybe four days of
156
00:07:57,935 --> 00:08:02,064
just really bad sickness.
And then I turn into a big baby,
157
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:05,860
then it's full baby mode where
it's I'm staying in bed now.
158
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:09,988
Everything goes out the window
in terms of the discipline,
159
00:08:10,447 --> 00:08:13,576
as in I'm going to be I'm
going to be waking up early.
160
00:08:13,658 --> 00:08:15,702
I'm going to be getting extra
sleep, I'm going to be eating
161
00:08:15,702 --> 00:08:18,915
extra showers. Maybe that was
What about the showers? Look,
162
00:08:18,122 --> 00:08:22,209
I'm going to be trying to
eat better, I guess, and more
163
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:25,838
so in particular, not for
the fasting or,
164
00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:28,007
you know, body weight reduction
or protein synthesis. Nice.
165
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:31,384
Purely for
I just want to recover, you know,
166
00:08:30,134 --> 00:08:33,553
I want to get better in this.
And whether it's like
167
00:08:31,384 --> 00:08:36,515
a warm soup when it's called
whatever it may be, it's more
168
00:08:33,553 --> 00:08:39,226
orientated towards that way.
The only, only, only caveat
169
00:08:39,226 --> 00:08:41,854
is that even when I'm really,
really, really sick,
170
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:45,357
I still I'll be laying in bed,
being a big baby, being like
171
00:08:45,357 --> 00:08:47,442
someone bring me this food
or I'm feeling terrible.
172
00:08:47,442 --> 00:08:49,861
I've got a fever,
I've got I can barely see.
173
00:08:49,861 --> 00:08:52,697
I'm still in the back of my mind.
I know who got me.
174
00:08:52,697 --> 00:08:53,615
I really wish I could try
and like,
175
00:08:53,615 --> 00:08:55,326
maybe I'll go for a walk.
Maybe I'll go for a run.
176
00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:58,578
Maybe I could get a gym session.
I'm probably throwing up.
177
00:08:58,578 --> 00:09:01,831
Sorry, but I don't so well,
So I won't do that. That,
178
00:09:01,831 --> 00:09:03,750
you know, that's probably
the only one in my mind
179
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:05,669
where I'm like,
Oh, I should be doing this.
180
00:09:05,669 --> 00:09:08,047
But I turn into a full big
baby when it's yeah,
181
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:13,052
when it's pretty rotten feeling.
And we had this actually, both
182
00:09:09,881 --> 00:09:16,096
of us, we experienced this
in last year, but the
183
00:09:14,345 --> 00:09:17,807
year before that New Year's
where we had COVID
184
00:09:17,807 --> 00:09:23,019
really kind of hit us, not really
hit me for a few days
185
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,522
and we're just down and out
for quite a few days around that.
186
00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:30,570
So yeah, I think for me, maybe
to the point
187
00:09:27,649 --> 00:09:33,405
of turning into a big baby is
a little bit more oriented
188
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:36,366
towards the extreme.
But for come to a point when
189
00:09:33,405 --> 00:09:39,412
I just turned to a big baby
Yeah, for me I've noticed it's
190
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:43,541
actually in this kind of
in-between stage so the stoic,
191
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:46,961
you know, virtues
and being able to kind of
192
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:50,715
weather it without
with magnanimity whatsoever
193
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:53,884
being magnanimous
or equanimity. And
194
00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:57,846
I can find when I'm so this,
this last one that I had.
195
00:09:57,846 --> 00:10:01,350
So I started Saturday
evening, barely got a drop of
196
00:10:02,643 --> 00:10:09,191
liquor, sleep all night
next day was just feeling
197
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:13,696
woeful from start to finish,
managed to have a small nap
198
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:16,865
in the afternoon, which
I actually got some sleep
199
00:10:16,990 --> 00:10:20,327
but then didn't want to ruin
this next night. So.
200
00:10:20,577 --> 00:10:22,746
So I kind of left it
at an hour or two.
201
00:10:22,746 --> 00:10:24,624
I don't even know
how long it was.
202
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:27,335
And then the next night
was just as well.
203
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:29,169
Yeah. And then the next day
it was kind of good.
204
00:10:29,169 --> 00:10:33,215
But there was these periods
where I was shivering
205
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:36,134
and I was full on just
shivering like crazy.
206
00:10:36,134 --> 00:10:39,388
And it was it
in those instances and kind of
207
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:41,599
the worst of the worst
where I wasn't actually
208
00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:45,977
a big baby, you know, wasn't
crying out or calling for help
209
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,313
for people.
It was kind of just like,
210
00:10:45,977 --> 00:10:50,441
I'm going to suck this up.
This is going to be shit
211
00:10:48,313 --> 00:10:55,446
for the next however long period,
I don't know. And then, you know,
212
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:56,947
I'll get through this.
And I've had this other times
213
00:10:55,446 --> 00:10:59,825
before,
especially with food poisoning
214
00:10:56,947 --> 00:11:02,119
and things like that, where
I can just kind of work
215
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:02,952
through the worst of it.
But it's when it's in
216
00:11:02,952 --> 00:11:08,167
that little recovery phase
or in the. Yeah,
217
00:11:06,456 --> 00:11:10,919
mostly in the recovery phase
where it's not
218
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:12,754
the worst thing in the world.
I've always
219
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:14,923
I've been through the worst,
but now I'm just I'm
220
00:11:12,754 --> 00:11:16,634
kind of just moping.
I'm feeling sorry for myself.
221
00:11:16,634 --> 00:11:22,014
Yeah. So it's kind of,
I don't know. Instead, you know,
222
00:11:19,010 --> 00:11:24,015
if zero out of ten was
perfectly fit and healthy,
223
00:11:24,015 --> 00:11:25,975
ten out
of ten was the worst of the
224
00:11:26,976 --> 00:11:32,441
of the shivering and whatnot.
I'm anywhere between kind of 3 to
225
00:11:32,441 --> 00:11:36,445
8 is when I'm the big baby
and that's when I'm right. Okay.
226
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:42,659
I could do stuff on my laptop.
There's nothing physically
227
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:45,663
stopping me other than, you
know, throbbing headache
228
00:11:42,659 --> 00:11:48,749
and just general wellness.
But to go,
229
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:51,043
it's like I don't want I can't
fathom the thought of doing it.
230
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,003
And it's just like,
no, get away from me.
231
00:11:53,003 --> 00:11:56,048
Don't want to do it. Gotcha.
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah.
232
00:11:56,048 --> 00:11:57,216
And that same example
of youth gave,
233
00:11:57,216 --> 00:12:02,053
I think for me it would be
maybe like six once it get to,
234
00:11:59,342 --> 00:12:03,722
like once it
get to six and above a girl.
235
00:12:03,722 --> 00:12:10,104
That's it, big baby. My, my.
Okay. Yeah, yeah. So for me,
236
00:12:08,184 --> 00:12:13,441
it's like that with middle
portion which yeah, I need a
237
00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:14,357
examine that psychologically.
What the hell's going on there.
238
00:12:15,609 --> 00:12:17,570
Let's, let's
talk about prevention then.
239
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:21,865
So I'm sure you know
more about the science of this
240
00:12:21,865 --> 00:12:25,201
than I do, because anything
that has any chance
241
00:12:25,201 --> 00:12:28,121
of affecting training.
I feel like you you've,
242
00:12:28,121 --> 00:12:31,207
you've looked into it
at some point and yeah, so
243
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:36,129
things like vitamin C
of getting flu shots and
244
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:40,301
maybe even like masks and
stuff in terms of prevention,
245
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:45,597
have you do you,
do you use allies that
246
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:49,268
have you used any of that?
What scientifically
247
00:12:46,097 --> 00:12:50,852
how much weight
do you think there is on
248
00:12:50,852 --> 00:12:53,688
being able
to stop getting sick from
249
00:12:53,688 --> 00:12:57,150
these kind of like common flus
and things like this?
250
00:12:57,150 --> 00:13:02,865
Not particularly diving into,
you know, pneumonia and other.
251
00:13:03,365 --> 00:13:05,658
Well, I could see a couple
of some instances. Right.
252
00:13:05,658 --> 00:13:08,828
So if I was to imagine,
just like we are right now
253
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,956
in Australia
or at least even Brisbane,
254
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:13,500
you know, there's is a wave of
whatever's going through.
255
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:17,754
And I did see not too long ago
there was a article about
256
00:13:17,754 --> 00:13:21,299
Omicron Wave
five is coming to Australia
257
00:13:18,714 --> 00:13:22,802
and be wearing for I don't know
if it's what it is right now
258
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:24,511
and not didn't know
what is the point of it.
259
00:13:24,511 --> 00:13:27,556
Pandemic was over didn't
hear the Who's announcement
260
00:13:27,764 --> 00:13:31,684
started again sort of thing so
but you know to be honest
261
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:37,524
I would even step
take a step back and get this
262
00:13:33,937 --> 00:13:40,235
comes to what you can do
preventively
263
00:13:37,566 --> 00:13:41,528
and what you can control
based on what you can't prevent.
264
00:13:41,528 --> 00:13:45,282
So you know what
we're talking about here with,
265
00:13:42,403 --> 00:13:46,408
you know, my baby girl.
I can't prevent
266
00:13:46,408 --> 00:13:49,245
if she's going to childcare
or school or whatever
267
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:52,413
and what she picks up
and brings home. There's
268
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:55,417
nothing I can do about that.
And then I'll have
269
00:13:52,413 --> 00:13:57,586
to manage it at home and then
we can talk about that.
270
00:13:55,417 --> 00:14:00,673
And there's plenty of it.
But I think in particular
271
00:13:57,586 --> 00:14:05,302
going taking a step back,
if I can prevent at the first
272
00:14:01,005 --> 00:14:09,139
instance in being around or,
you know, getting the cold
273
00:14:05,594 --> 00:14:11,642
or flu or whatever, it's going
around in the first place,
274
00:14:09,139 --> 00:14:15,395
well, all the better.
So at least for me
275
00:14:11,642 --> 00:14:19,482
personally, again, it's more
so the choices I take even beyond
276
00:14:20,024 --> 00:14:23,320
the what you're talking about of,
oh, will you take vitamin C?
277
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,197
Do you get more sleep.
Well, yeah,
278
00:14:24,529 --> 00:14:27,908
it's all of those things.
But even better,
279
00:14:26,197 --> 00:14:30,326
just don't put yourself
into the position
280
00:14:27,908 --> 00:14:32,162
then that you're going to get.
These colds
281
00:14:30,326 --> 00:14:33,788
that are predominantly
found were going to be
282
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:36,792
a lot of people.
So, you know, for me
283
00:14:33,788 --> 00:14:40,211
personally right now,
I do have the privilege
284
00:14:36,792 --> 00:14:41,547
of not having to be
going in public transports
285
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:44,549
or having to be in large
crowds of people.
286
00:14:44,591 --> 00:14:46,844
Even better with,
you know, a baby
287
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:49,846
that's under six weeks old.
You're not really meant
288
00:14:48,761 --> 00:14:52,265
to get them to see any people
until six weeks,
289
00:14:52,265 --> 00:14:55,019
generally the first round
of big vaccinations.
290
00:14:55,019 --> 00:14:57,855
So for me, I'm
not really interacting
291
00:14:55,602 --> 00:14:59,815
with a lot of humans right now
that in itself
292
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:00,899
is being preventative, right?
So, you know,
293
00:15:00,899 --> 00:15:04,570
we're the big places that you're
probably going to find
294
00:15:02,109 --> 00:15:07,947
that you get sick.
Workplaces, public transport,
295
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:11,243
really busy gym settings
anywhere else
296
00:15:09,908 --> 00:15:13,745
where you're going to have
a lot of humans interacting
297
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:15,246
with contact points
where you might
298
00:15:13,745 --> 00:15:18,542
be able to pick it up through
a channels or from
299
00:15:18,542 --> 00:15:20,919
actually equipment or anything
that you might pick up.
300
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:23,714
So for me, you know,
I'm being preventative,
301
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:26,466
not even because I want to.
It's more just by choice
302
00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:27,927
of where I am right now.
I'm not taking public transport.
303
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:30,763
I'm going training at the moment
when there's barely
304
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:33,432
any people around. So it's either
four in the morning or midday.
305
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:35,475
It's kind of fine. You know,
I'm not seeing many humans
306
00:15:35,475 --> 00:15:41,356
around in the area that I train.
And so yeah, if you can do that
307
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:43,484
as a preventative nature,
then you can take those actions.
308
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:46,153
Well, fantastic. I mean, for you,
you kind of do that
309
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:51,658
by default as well, right?
Like, is it just by being a
310
00:15:47,403 --> 00:15:55,037
hermit sage and just Exactly,
you know,
311
00:15:52,868 --> 00:15:55,663
if you're living out in the.
Yeah, I want to take it
312
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,998
to the extreme
in terms of prevention.
313
00:15:57,998 --> 00:16:01,293
Don't live in a mountain,
don't live in the forest
314
00:15:59,582 --> 00:16:03,253
with barely any people
and you will get sick
315
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:04,754
to some degree,
but it won't be so much
316
00:16:04,754 --> 00:16:06,881
the airborne diseases
that are generally found
317
00:16:06,881 --> 00:16:09,969
by congregations
of, of groups of people or,
318
00:16:10,302 --> 00:16:13,389
you know, transits through that.
So yeah, well I mean you can get
319
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:15,599
them from animals
and what whatnot,
320
00:16:15,599 --> 00:16:18,184
you know, bubonic plague
and things like that.
321
00:16:18,184 --> 00:16:22,898
But you know, in terms of the,
the flus and whatnot, they come
322
00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:25,775
from a society perspective.
Yeah. So you can prevent,
323
00:16:22,898 --> 00:16:29,196
you can do some preventative.
So so do you do would you do this
324
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:31,657
actively now
and did you do this before?
325
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:35,744
So for example, last Thursday
I went to salsa dancing.
326
00:16:36,787 --> 00:16:42,125
I'm sure if I listened to the
news that there was
327
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:46,004
a thing going around
and I knew about it, I
328
00:16:43,001 --> 00:16:49,216
still would have gone anyway.
I wouldn't have I wouldn't
329
00:16:46,212 --> 00:16:51,259
have let that I would have
would have prevented
330
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:55,764
for doing not. And yeah,
so I totally get the yet
331
00:16:56,264 --> 00:17:03,938
not did not intentionally
exposing yourself
332
00:17:00,059 --> 00:17:05,648
and suppose risky situations
let's just take like
333
00:17:05,648 --> 00:17:08,652
a massive football game
or something like that.
334
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:15,909
But yeah I'm not a huge fan
of actually
335
00:17:12,905 --> 00:17:20,288
letting the possibility
of getting sick
336
00:17:16,285 --> 00:17:22,332
kind of affect my choices.
Yeah I mean look again
337
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:23,541
this is the same
and we've talked about this
338
00:17:22,332 --> 00:17:26,045
in the past.
It's just the spelling balance
339
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:28,463
behind it.
Let's take, for instance
340
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:31,340
those two years ago,
two years or so ago
341
00:17:28,463 --> 00:17:32,800
when we went to our new year
and we went out partying. Right.
342
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,386
Like that was really prime
around with
343
00:17:35,386 --> 00:17:37,638
COVID was going around
at least the Brisbane run.
344
00:17:37,638 --> 00:17:40,183
There was an incredibly high
likelihood
345
00:17:40,183 --> 00:17:42,019
that we were all going to get
it as we went out. You know,
346
00:17:43,479 --> 00:17:46,230
we didn't give a shit.
It was kind of like,
347
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:47,148
if we get it, it's fine.
We're at a healthy enough
348
00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:49,192
and we'll get into the
management and preventative
349
00:17:49,192 --> 00:17:50,986
when you get it
or you know what you could do
350
00:17:50,986 --> 00:17:54,740
if it's unavoidable.
But you know, at that point
351
00:17:52,445 --> 00:17:58,786
from our risk value perspective,
we valued the night out
352
00:17:55,990 --> 00:18:00,162
with friends, with the events,
with the activities around,
353
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:01,829
with the stories
that we were making more
354
00:18:01,829 --> 00:18:03,164
than the fact
that we're going to get sick
355
00:18:03,164 --> 00:18:06,460
and be at full kind of roughly
a few days, that's fine.
356
00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:07,627
You know,
you can make that assessment
357
00:18:07,627 --> 00:18:10,631
with even if you knew
all the information,
358
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:14,675
even if you knew it's going
to be some sick people
359
00:18:12,298 --> 00:18:16,303
at this dance event,
you might still go, That's fine.
360
00:18:16,303 --> 00:18:18,971
Like us who want to go out on
dates around them.
361
00:18:18,971 --> 00:18:22,683
You know, I'll, I'll,
I'll, I'll just I'll just
362
00:18:20,848 --> 00:18:23,393
waltz in and around, you know,
you can't catch me.
363
00:18:23,393 --> 00:18:27,855
It's like dodging breath or,
as you say, is so bad
364
00:18:27,855 --> 00:18:30,526
even the flu will go away from.
It's fine, you know.
365
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:35,029
But the reality is
there's a time for me. You know,
366
00:18:33,778 --> 00:18:37,324
you ask me a question.
This things
367
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:40,326
where public transport
like that is almost a choice
368
00:18:37,324 --> 00:18:42,496
that I have made for many,
many years now where I will not
369
00:18:42,496 --> 00:18:44,623
I will avoid it
as much as possible
370
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:47,334
because you can go and have a
look at some statistics.
371
00:18:47,334 --> 00:18:49,336
It's one of the major places
where you're going to pick up
372
00:18:49,336 --> 00:18:51,296
something from a sickness
perspective, right?
373
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:55,424
Because you think about it,
you go humans constricted
374
00:18:53,714 --> 00:18:57,553
into one particular space
for a set amount of time
375
00:18:55,424 --> 00:18:58,554
that's generally, you know,
20 or 30 minutes.
376
00:18:59,555 --> 00:19:02,141
It's almost unavoidable.
It's going to happen
377
00:19:00,638 --> 00:19:06,185
if you go down the path.
So I set up, you know, choices
378
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:08,564
and actions for myself.
So I'm basically avoiding it
379
00:19:06,185 --> 00:19:10,857
most of the time.
Again, sometimes people can't
380
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:12,942
and I get that.
But there are choices
381
00:19:10,857 --> 00:19:16,488
that you can make, which are,
you know, then you could
382
00:19:12,942 --> 00:19:17,364
you could wear a mask.
Now, I don't know
383
00:19:17,364 --> 00:19:21,201
about the efficacy
of wearing a mask to prevent
384
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:24,413
rather than to prevent
you contracting it
385
00:19:24,413 --> 00:19:27,415
rather than stop
you spreading it.
386
00:19:27,457 --> 00:19:32,003
I assume it does something,
but yeah, how much? Who knows?
387
00:19:32,003 --> 00:19:33,547
Yeah, but again,
look, we're talking.
388
00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:35,423
There are still steps.
Yeah, Yeah, of course.
389
00:19:35,423 --> 00:19:37,675
But we talk about you have to
me more light here as well.
390
00:19:37,675 --> 00:19:39,553
And so I tell you,
the reality is,
391
00:19:39,553 --> 00:19:42,556
you know, as much as I say
that about public transport,
392
00:19:42,763 --> 00:19:46,809
you know, I'll feel good,
like at the moment,
393
00:19:44,932 --> 00:19:48,854
I know there's probably
going to be a few people
394
00:19:46,809 --> 00:19:51,147
sick in the office.
Then I'll go at some point,
395
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:52,191
you know, in the next
few weeks into the office
396
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:54,526
and I'll go and participate
and talk to people.
397
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:58,446
Look, if I get sick,
well, so be it. I'm not
398
00:19:58,446 --> 00:20:02,326
overwhelmingly scared that,
you know, I'm going
399
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:05,328
to pick up something there.
But again,
400
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:08,749
then it gets into the hey,
my myself as a the state that
401
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:11,751
I mean the immunity
that my body is probably in
402
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:15,255
will also dictate that
I'm kind of okay
403
00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:19,675
to pick up something. Right.
So yes, my sleep is fellowship
404
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:21,678
over the last couple of weeks,
but I'm feeling quite healthy.
405
00:20:21,678 --> 00:20:25,807
I'm still training.
I feel like I can knock away
406
00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:27,308
most things,
but that would totally change
407
00:20:27,308 --> 00:20:31,605
if I was sleeping terrifically,
if I was completely down in terms
408
00:20:31,605 --> 00:20:34,607
of eating shitty food,
my defenses were down.
409
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:37,402
It might change
then what I actually do.
410
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,488
And again,
that comes the preventative
411
00:20:37,693 --> 00:20:41,865
nature of, okay,
well I'm not going to expose
412
00:20:39,488 --> 00:20:43,157
myself to go to a festival
or go to a big night out than I.
413
00:20:43,157 --> 00:20:46,827
I'm, I get sick
because if I pick up this
414
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:47,496
while I'm in this state,
it's going to be
415
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:50,499
a whole different ballgame
than if I was just
416
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:53,376
nicely firing and
being in my in my best state.
417
00:20:53,376 --> 00:20:56,837
And that's when it comes into,
okay, well, it's managing
418
00:20:57,130 --> 00:21:01,926
the state that you're in and
a day to day out of our week
419
00:20:58,298 --> 00:21:03,428
to week to be at the
I'm not saying you know
420
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:06,181
optimal beyond the me
immortal type of immunity
421
00:21:06,181 --> 00:21:08,016
but be good enough
that you're not going
422
00:21:08,016 --> 00:21:10,644
to just be absolutely smacked
in the face.
423
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,313
Every little bug comes to you,
every brace. Yeah.
424
00:21:13,313 --> 00:21:16,148
I was actually just thinking,
you know,
425
00:21:14,855 --> 00:21:18,359
what are some of the worst times
I've been sick in my life?
426
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,904
One were while two
were actually in Colombia, one
427
00:21:21,904 --> 00:21:25,032
because I decided to fast
for three days
428
00:21:25,032 --> 00:21:28,036
and then drink alcohol
on the night of the third
429
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,747
and then have a boat ride
to our boat ride
430
00:21:30,747 --> 00:21:33,541
back to the mainland.
Nice folks do not do that.
431
00:21:33,541 --> 00:21:37,128
That was
a two hour boat ride of hell.
432
00:21:38,505 --> 00:21:41,799
Probably the worst.
Probably. Yeah. That's one of
433
00:21:39,548 --> 00:21:43,134
the worst I've ever felt.
I think just in that.
434
00:21:43,134 --> 00:21:45,178
And then once
I got back onto land,
435
00:21:45,178 --> 00:21:51,393
like puked up a bunch of water
slash alcohol and wet slept,
436
00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:55,021
and then I was fine.
Another one once again,
437
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:59,442
Columbia man reckoned me,
a reputable place
438
00:21:55,188 --> 00:22:03,195
called, Cripes and Waffles.
I had like, this kind of
439
00:21:59,776 --> 00:22:08,326
chicken curry type thing
going on. I seem to remember
440
00:22:04,905 --> 00:22:08,910
kind of like post hoc or. Yeah,
I think
441
00:22:08,910 --> 00:22:13,332
when I cut into that chicken,
that was like a little bit
442
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:20,255
of redness in it that night.
Man just rocked me for 6 hours
443
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:21,964
until evacuated everything
in my body from both ends.
444
00:22:21,964 --> 00:22:27,054
And that one was yet another one.
You know, you got COVID.
445
00:22:27,054 --> 00:22:28,971
We were living
in the same house together.
446
00:22:28,971 --> 00:22:32,558
You told me about it,
and I had the option to just go
447
00:22:32,558 --> 00:22:34,810
and stay with my parents
for a week or two.
448
00:22:34,810 --> 00:22:39,066
I could have done that.
But it you know, then it
449
00:22:35,561 --> 00:22:41,859
was I would have had to have
changed all this stuff,
450
00:22:41,859 --> 00:22:45,238
food for the fridge or, you know,
all these sorts of things
451
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:47,824
I would have had to change up.
And so I just went like,
452
00:22:45,238 --> 00:22:49,241
whatever, I'll just
we'll just see
453
00:22:47,824 --> 00:22:51,452
if I get it or not.
Yeah, I got it.
454
00:22:51,452 --> 00:22:55,332
And so I look back
at most of the times
455
00:22:55,332 --> 00:22:58,335
in my life and it's
kind of rare where it's been
456
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:02,047
situations where I couldn't
have done anything.
457
00:23:02,631 --> 00:23:07,051
I mean, there's minor flus.
Yeah, minor flus all the time.
458
00:23:07,051 --> 00:23:10,055
I have no idea where
I pick it up and and whatnot.
459
00:23:10,346 --> 00:23:14,351
But most of the time I look back
and I go, the really bad ones,
460
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:19,480
man, I probably could
have done things this last one.
461
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,693
I'm certain it didn't help that
I That evening before I got sick,
462
00:23:24,693 --> 00:23:26,613
I remember thinking,
oh I should drink some water.
463
00:23:26,613 --> 00:23:31,117
I should drink some water.
And for, you know, kind of
464
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:34,913
4 hours leading up to bed,
I had basically no water and man,
465
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:40,544
I was dehydrated as you know.
That certainly didn't help
466
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:44,172
so well. And again, and let's not
get into the technicalities
467
00:23:42,461 --> 00:23:46,298
over here
because we're not really
468
00:23:44,172 --> 00:23:47,259
want to talk about it.
No, I think people come to
469
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:51,221
this podcast to get the details.
But, you know, in the very basics
470
00:23:51,221 --> 00:23:53,472
from a management perspective,
you hear this,
471
00:23:53,472 --> 00:23:56,643
you can Google this,
so switch it up, it's clean.
472
00:23:56,643 --> 00:23:59,729
You hands hygiene,
make sure you got
473
00:23:59,729 --> 00:24:04,025
plenty of water into your.
Yes, vitamin C
474
00:24:01,189 --> 00:24:07,028
and just vitamins in general,
like just in
475
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:09,655
just in its full generality.
That's more prevention
476
00:24:07,278 --> 00:24:10,865
rather than management. Right.
Sorry. Like this
477
00:24:10,865 --> 00:24:12,659
is a preventative
or even when you've got
478
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:14,661
something wrong, it's
when you are sick.
479
00:24:14,661 --> 00:24:17,913
It's like make sure you're
well hydrated.
480
00:24:17,913 --> 00:24:21,460
Make sure you got full
macronutrient profile
481
00:24:19,332 --> 00:24:23,295
that's going to be efficient
for what you're
482
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:25,422
getting in micronutrients,
like kind of eliminate stress,
483
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:29,800
right? Get get as much sleep
as you can. Are there any other
484
00:24:28,299 --> 00:24:31,760
like really big ones
that avoid sugar generally?
485
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,762
You know, you want to avoid sugar
as much as possible
486
00:24:33,762 --> 00:24:38,143
when you're actually sick,
that the sugar would propagate
487
00:24:34,722 --> 00:24:40,228
the sickness in essence.
And yeah, I'm sure there's either
488
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:42,189
pathways or things
that we can talk about it,
489
00:24:42,189 --> 00:24:45,192
nor do I know. But I know that
from a general perspective,
490
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:47,277
having sugar is not gonna
help you out when you're sick.
491
00:24:47,277 --> 00:24:49,153
So a lot of that
when you're sick.
492
00:24:49,153 --> 00:24:52,990
But I think the biggest one,
honestly, the biggest one
493
00:24:50,404 --> 00:24:56,702
and look I'm
the worst on with is anyways
494
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:58,954
but it's just dressing like
just predominantly
495
00:24:56,702 --> 00:25:01,958
you know if you are especially
if you're really sick
496
00:24:58,954 --> 00:25:05,377
and you know for me it's
six out of ten and beyond
497
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:07,297
then man, take, take time,
stop doing things
498
00:25:05,503 --> 00:25:08,798
and put any pressure.
I don't take any stresses.
499
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:14,637
Eat water, sleep. I mean,
sleep is going to recover
500
00:25:11,675 --> 00:25:15,430
like a whole host of things
because of me,
501
00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:18,307
you know, especially anything
six out of ten and below.
502
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:21,435
It's generally gone
by after a good sleep. That's it.
503
00:25:21,435 --> 00:25:23,646
You know, at the moment,
and this probably
504
00:25:23,646 --> 00:25:27,983
is a combination as well
that yeah, I'm not gonna say
505
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:29,778
my immunity is top class
but it's probably better than,
506
00:25:27,983 --> 00:25:30,862
than my in
in its general sense. Right.
507
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:34,490
I keep myself fit I'm healthy
I meaning not too terribly
508
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:37,326
when I get something
I kind of get rid of an
509
00:25:37,326 --> 00:25:39,578
after a good sleep
and being hydrated. That's it.
510
00:25:39,578 --> 00:25:41,623
It won't really stick around
for much longer.
511
00:25:41,623 --> 00:25:44,709
And you know, as a comparison,
going back, I really think
512
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:47,711
when was a times when I was
really, really sick.
513
00:25:48,128 --> 00:25:52,842
It was usually food poisoning.
I've been had food poisoning
514
00:25:49,297 --> 00:25:54,844
in Malaysia as food poisoning.
Many, many years ago
515
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,971
and at Christmas.
And I just felt horrible.
516
00:25:56,930 --> 00:25:59,057
But beside
food poisoning, you know,
517
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:03,144
it has been, Ray, that
a airborne cold or another top
518
00:26:03,144 --> 00:26:08,525
flu really knocked me about hard.
And in general,
519
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:10,568
you know, on a yearly basis,
I'll probably get sick,
520
00:26:08,525 --> 00:26:12,278
as we call it,
you know, flu or whatever
521
00:26:10,568 --> 00:26:14,446
it may be.
That's below a six out of ten,
522
00:26:14,446 --> 00:26:16,740
let's say, for five or six
times a year.
523
00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:19,451
And honestly, doesn't
really change what I do today.
524
00:26:19,451 --> 00:26:23,832
I just know that
there might be one day was a
525
00:26:20,703 --> 00:26:25,625
slight decrease in my energy.
I'll respond better,
526
00:26:25,625 --> 00:26:29,336
but it won't really debate my
my normal plan. And you know, the
527
00:26:29,336 --> 00:26:32,339
what you had just recently
like that, that big hit,
528
00:26:32,423 --> 00:26:34,425
I don't think thankfully,
I don't think I've had
529
00:26:34,425 --> 00:26:36,928
anything since the last time
we got sick during COVID
530
00:26:36,928 --> 00:26:40,222
at two and a bit years ago.
Since then, I don't think
531
00:26:38,346 --> 00:26:42,308
I've really been at all
sick enough
532
00:26:40,222 --> 00:26:44,935
that it's taken me away from
doing
533
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:46,938
the things I want to be doing.
Yeah, okay. Yeah. Interesting.
534
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:48,940
How about we jump onto
the management then?
535
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:54,445
And one of the things I wanted
to start off with was, are there
536
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:58,115
any psychological tricks
that you use to help
537
00:26:54,445 --> 00:27:01,786
you get through a sickness?
Because one of the things for
538
00:26:58,532 --> 00:27:04,873
me was actually the showers.
And I think it
539
00:27:01,827 --> 00:27:07,875
you know, there is the kind of
I suppose just the
540
00:27:05,414 --> 00:27:10,002
the body warmth aspect.
It is cold here in Brisbane
541
00:27:10,002 --> 00:27:13,006
getting hot water in
a kind of running on the body
542
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:15,799
and whatnot,
I think actually helped.
543
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:17,969
But I think a lot of
it was due to me
544
00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:21,972
just kind of feeling like I'm
washing away the sickness.
545
00:27:21,972 --> 00:27:24,433
You know,
I'm kind of in the shower,
546
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:27,436
it's like
water running down my head
547
00:27:24,433 --> 00:27:28,771
and I kind of envision
sickness coming off of me,
548
00:27:28,771 --> 00:27:31,775
like I get down the drain
slide to give get rid of that.
549
00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:35,528
And I think there are things
like that which
550
00:27:35,819 --> 00:27:39,990
which certainly work better.
For example, paracetamol.
551
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:45,246
I've never actually noticed.
Some people seem
552
00:27:43,036 --> 00:27:48,249
to take a couple of Panadol
or something and bam,
553
00:27:45,246 --> 00:27:51,251
they reckon they're better.
And for me
554
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:53,462
it's the opposite effect
where I think, man, this thing
555
00:27:53,462 --> 00:27:55,464
probably works
more on the placebo effect
556
00:27:55,464 --> 00:27:58,468
than the actual paracetamol,
the 500 milligrams or whatever
557
00:27:58,468 --> 00:28:01,680
got in it and so it just does
nothing for me.
558
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,765
And so yeah, I was going to,
I was going to say
559
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:06,851
eat mine, mine one
even placebo like I've had,
560
00:28:07,184 --> 00:28:10,063
I honestly think I can count
in like on my hands
561
00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:12,315
the amount of times
I've had paracetamol.
562
00:28:12,315 --> 00:28:15,192
That's like Panadol.
And every single time
563
00:28:13,148 --> 00:28:17,362
it's done nothing zero.
Like I don't even notice it
564
00:28:15,192 --> 00:28:20,365
single bit. Like I've never
I've never even bothered
565
00:28:18,654 --> 00:28:21,156
to buy it any more.
I don't have it.
566
00:28:21,156 --> 00:28:24,076
I can have some for the kid
and for a partner.
567
00:28:24,076 --> 00:28:26,954
But for me I'm like,
why even take it?
568
00:28:26,954 --> 00:28:29,457
It does nothing.
At least it feels very much
569
00:28:27,747 --> 00:28:31,960
the same for me.
Yeah, I tried it out
570
00:28:29,457 --> 00:28:33,252
this once again.
I have it around just.
571
00:28:33,252 --> 00:28:37,882
Just as the kind of old thing
to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
572
00:28:37,882 --> 00:28:40,926
It's just like, Well, if I.
If I take four, maybe
573
00:28:40,926 --> 00:28:43,304
something will happen
instead of taking two.
574
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:49,810
And I can't, I can't say it
much like supplements
575
00:28:46,807 --> 00:28:53,440
and I know yet a a
a point about supplements
576
00:28:50,644 --> 00:28:55,357
written down.
But but for me it's it's
577
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:59,445
kind of the same thing
I just don't notice any effect
578
00:28:55,357 --> 00:29:03,950
and so it's kind of why
not even the placebo effect so
579
00:28:59,903 --> 00:29:05,034
yeah well it's interesting
you say about the shot.
580
00:29:05,034 --> 00:29:09,830
So a couple of points for me,
a couple of the management
581
00:29:06,452 --> 00:29:14,126
things that I find work for me
is a high intake of vitamin C,
582
00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:15,545
like it's just a huge dose.
It I'm talking, you know,
583
00:29:15,545 --> 00:29:18,173
when you get your vitamin
C like little pills or whatever,
584
00:29:17,046 --> 00:29:19,173
you can have an about up.
I'm talking pills.
585
00:29:19,173 --> 00:29:21,800
I'll have like four of them
every 4 hours
586
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,053
or something like that,
which is the amount.
587
00:29:24,053 --> 00:29:27,015
And honestly, again,
there's probably some pathways
588
00:29:27,015 --> 00:29:29,224
as to why,
but it really feels good.
589
00:29:29,224 --> 00:29:31,269
Like it feels like genuinely
feels like it helps.
590
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:36,816
That's one thing too.
Um, you know, the Panadol
591
00:29:33,229 --> 00:29:38,192
mentioned ÂŁ9 off for me,
not Nurofen
592
00:29:36,816 --> 00:29:40,612
or anything like that helps.
But what does help
593
00:29:38,192 --> 00:29:43,948
there is a pretty know
there is a product did that
594
00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:47,410
I don't know exactly straight.
I should actually have a quick
595
00:29:44,199 --> 00:29:49,621
look at what it actually has
so that I'm not talking
596
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:51,455
about specifically. I'm going to
say the product name right.
597
00:29:52,499 --> 00:29:55,417
Limp limb sip. Max, have you
ever had this product before?
598
00:29:55,417 --> 00:29:58,296
No. Sorry. It's like a deacon.
Justin Basically,
599
00:29:58,296 --> 00:29:59,713
they they call it
just that decongestant.
600
00:29:59,713 --> 00:30:02,592
I'm going to pull it up
here on my screen,
601
00:30:00,964 --> 00:30:04,426
but I want actually shared
so the listeners at home run
602
00:30:04,426 --> 00:30:08,222
just to try to see if I can find
exactly what the ingredients
603
00:30:06,095 --> 00:30:10,767
behind it. And look,
I wouldn't be surprised
604
00:30:08,515 --> 00:30:12,059
if the bloody thing is
got Panadol in it or something.
605
00:30:12,059 --> 00:30:14,520
So I see if I can actually
bring it up.
606
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:20,818
But the ingredients are seems
pretty simple. Yeah. Absorbing
607
00:30:17,773 --> 00:30:24,279
acid spot of a citric acid
coke, human flavor,
608
00:30:21,109 --> 00:30:28,409
Lactose monohydrate
POLYSORBATE Saccharin, sodium,
609
00:30:25,155 --> 00:30:31,119
silicon dioxide.
So I tried to Christ that's it.
610
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,455
And then it's
got it does have paracetamol
611
00:30:34,414 --> 00:30:40,462
Graham of it and phenylephrine
Ben left refrain hydrochloride
612
00:30:36,625 --> 00:30:42,298
2.2 milligrams. What the fuck
that does no idea
613
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:45,676
but I can tell you dude
that when I start
614
00:30:43,924 --> 00:30:47,804
especially with the cold,
when I start
615
00:30:45,676 --> 00:30:49,931
feeling a cold, right?
This has been like my
616
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:52,307
get my life say
but my game changer
617
00:30:49,931 --> 00:30:54,059
and I always have this one.
So when I want to have the
618
00:30:54,059 --> 00:30:55,854
the faintest view
that I'm getting a cold,
619
00:30:55,854 --> 00:30:58,189
especially like a bad cold
not like a regular call, it's
620
00:30:58,189 --> 00:31:01,526
like whatever, fight through it.
But if it's above a six
621
00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:04,403
out of ten, I start feeling it.
I'll have this thing right
622
00:31:02,943 --> 00:31:05,696
and I'll go.
It's I think it's three
623
00:31:05,696 --> 00:31:07,781
a day or a day
or something like that.
624
00:31:07,781 --> 00:31:14,247
And honestly, I can remember
the difference between
625
00:31:12,244 --> 00:31:17,250
having it and not having like
it is a substantial difference
626
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:20,795
of how I've managed
sicknesses to the point
627
00:31:17,291 --> 00:31:21,753
that if I didn't take it,
I don't think
628
00:31:20,795 --> 00:31:25,299
I would have been able
to to work,
629
00:31:21,753 --> 00:31:28,176
to act, to do anything.
And having it
630
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:29,261
may be like at the very least,
you know, throat felt better,
631
00:31:29,261 --> 00:31:32,140
felt like I could
communicate and do things. So
632
00:31:33,098 --> 00:31:37,228
for me lives it back and whatever
the hell you've got an equivalent
633
00:31:35,018 --> 00:31:38,980
in your neck of the woods.
I'd say,
634
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:41,231
go find whatever that is,
because there is things out
635
00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:45,319
there. There is medicine.
They would probably help out,
636
00:31:41,231 --> 00:31:48,364
um, beside that water.
But the other point is
637
00:31:45,361 --> 00:31:49,449
you were saying the shower
and washing it off.
638
00:31:49,449 --> 00:31:52,660
Mine's more of the mental
one is being sweating it out.
639
00:31:52,868 --> 00:31:55,538
Sweating it out
and that's a quite one.
640
00:31:55,538 --> 00:31:58,458
I really hot bath.
So if I'm, if I'm really sick
641
00:31:58,458 --> 00:32:00,751
having a hot, hot bath,
not shower
642
00:32:00,751 --> 00:32:05,006
but just sitting in a hot bath
and just sweating the shit
643
00:32:02,002 --> 00:32:07,759
out of myself or a sauna sauna
if I've got one at home.
644
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:12,055
So those two or and I mean I'm
not going to recommend this
645
00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:14,641
to a lot of people
that's not doctor recommended
646
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:18,644
this is not doctor
recommend that. Nor do
647
00:32:16,808 --> 00:32:20,145
I think that your local gym
will actually like you for this.
648
00:32:20,145 --> 00:32:23,732
But I will do I work out
especially where I'm kind of
649
00:32:23,732 --> 00:32:26,736
just getting over it.
And it's not when you're,
650
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:28,237
you know,
the beginning of getting sick
651
00:32:28,237 --> 00:32:29,780
with a flu or something
like that.
652
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:32,784
When you start creating
and if you train at that point,
653
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:35,327
whether it's a run or sports
or whatever,
654
00:32:35,327 --> 00:32:37,955
you're just going to get
just so much sore,
655
00:32:37,955 --> 00:32:40,208
like your body feels
absolutely broken,
656
00:32:40,208 --> 00:32:41,834
your muscles are
just not even working.
657
00:32:41,834 --> 00:32:43,419
I'm not talking about
then it's kind of once
658
00:32:43,419 --> 00:32:46,422
you go past a dip,
that big dip of being sick
659
00:32:46,506 --> 00:32:50,384
and you kind of on the way up,
I'll just I'll generally
660
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:52,135
have a training session,
not the hottest workout
661
00:32:52,135 --> 00:32:55,056
you're going to find,
but just moving.
662
00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:57,224
That really helps.
That really, really does help
663
00:32:57,224 --> 00:32:58,643
to kind of
get me back into baseline.
664
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:00,560
I don't know
if it's just purely the
665
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,314
the chemical balance in terms
of the training that helps
666
00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:05,566
or if it's the
the sweating behind it.
667
00:33:05,566 --> 00:33:08,778
But for me, the psychological
it's all sweating this out.
668
00:33:08,903 --> 00:33:12,615
I'm getting rid of it's
through my pores that that's
669
00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:15,076
probably the big one for me
psychologically. Hm. Yeah.
670
00:33:15,076 --> 00:33:19,872
So I went to to train today.
So I'm, I'm, I'm fine.
671
00:33:19,872 --> 00:33:24,210
I guess I'm operating,
but I've still got something
672
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:25,920
like, who knows how long
it'll linger around for,
673
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,883
but I can do stuff. And I went
to train today and it was kind of
674
00:33:30,883 --> 00:33:33,885
I was past
the hump and then it was still
675
00:33:34,095 --> 00:33:37,807
a 22nd handstand would,
but still kind of gassed me.
676
00:33:37,807 --> 00:33:39,767
I'd come down
and I'd be breathing heavy,
677
00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:41,560
whereas normally
I could come down from that
678
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,521
and I'd be able to
get my heart rate and breath
679
00:33:44,521 --> 00:33:46,857
back to normal really,
really quickly.
680
00:33:46,857 --> 00:33:49,359
And one of the things
I remember my dad
681
00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:51,988
telling me about is young,
and this could just be
682
00:33:51,988 --> 00:33:54,365
Australian folk wisdom
or some shit like this.
683
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:58,994
But he was saying
he would never allow me
684
00:33:56,116 --> 00:34:03,082
if I had a day off school to
then play either train during
685
00:33:58,994 --> 00:34:04,584
that week or play soccer.
That weekend.
686
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:09,005
And his justification was
excuse not to go to school.
687
00:34:09,005 --> 00:34:11,507
You're too sick to go
to the weekend and have a game.
688
00:34:11,507 --> 00:34:17,679
Yeah. And, and it wasn't kind of
a punishment thing
689
00:34:13,425 --> 00:34:20,349
to stop me from staying home.
It was more
690
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:23,769
He did that because he'd heard
or read something where,
691
00:34:23,978 --> 00:34:26,898
yeah, your heart is in kind of
like a weakened condition
692
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:30,068
and you're more likely to to
do some damage to your heart.
693
00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:35,864
Is this any basis? Have you heard
of anything like this one? No.
694
00:34:37,324 --> 00:34:39,452
I mean,
who knows about the studies?
695
00:34:39,452 --> 00:34:45,583
I could I could see it in
enough people, I reckon out
696
00:34:42,579 --> 00:34:48,920
there statistically that.
Yeah, you probably shouldn't
697
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:51,755
overexert yourself as in
get your heart rate or
698
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,340
other measures in your body.
It just stress.
699
00:34:53,340 --> 00:34:55,842
Just you shouldn't
put your body into a
700
00:34:55,842 --> 00:34:58,096
such a stressful position
which hard workout
701
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:01,807
or a hard training
session will put you
702
00:34:58,846 --> 00:35:04,976
into a stressful position
that probably make you
703
00:35:01,974 --> 00:35:06,478
feel worse or go down more.
So yeah, I can
704
00:35:04,976 --> 00:35:08,815
I can understand that.
I think for
705
00:35:06,478 --> 00:35:09,606
the general population, no,
you don't want to put yourself
706
00:35:09,606 --> 00:35:11,567
into extra
stress when your body is in a
707
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,197
state decapitated in a in a in a
in a downward spiral I guess.
708
00:35:17,197 --> 00:35:22,202
And sure, that makes sense.
Yeah, for sure. One of the things
709
00:35:20,201 --> 00:35:23,746
actually just management wise,
which I've noticed and actually
710
00:35:23,746 --> 00:35:25,789
I have to thank Tovah
for making me a better
711
00:35:25,789 --> 00:35:28,793
person is I'm actually way
less selfish
712
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:31,545
and kind of going out
of my way to protect others.
713
00:35:31,545 --> 00:35:35,590
Now compared to what I would
have done pre-COVID at the
714
00:35:35,632 --> 00:35:39,512
So I on yesterday
I was kind of seeing
715
00:35:39,512 --> 00:35:42,514
some family members
and we just had this,
716
00:35:42,514 --> 00:35:45,726
this whole structure
where everyone had this
717
00:35:46,351 --> 00:35:48,521
kind of task
to do during the day.
718
00:35:48,521 --> 00:35:50,856
And if I'd pulled out,
it would have just screwed up
719
00:35:50,856 --> 00:35:54,943
all of these other plans
and whatnot. So I was like, Well,
720
00:35:52,775 --> 00:35:58,239
I'll still go.
But I basically just wore
721
00:35:54,943 --> 00:36:00,199
a mask the entire day and,
you know, I never
722
00:35:58,405 --> 00:36:03,119
would have done that before.
It would have just
723
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:04,996
been inconceivable.
Yeah, just completely selfish
724
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:07,289
For me. It was like, Oh,
we're meeting up for dinner.
725
00:36:07,289 --> 00:36:09,666
I'm not feeling great,
but I'll still go. I want
726
00:36:09,666 --> 00:36:14,380
I want to see them
without caring, you know,
727
00:36:10,668 --> 00:36:15,672
are they going to get sick
from me wanting to see them?
728
00:36:15,672 --> 00:36:18,134
It just wouldn't
have even mattered at all.
729
00:36:18,134 --> 00:36:22,346
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm making a lot
730
00:36:19,427 --> 00:36:24,514
more decisions now where it's.
Yeah. You know what? I weren't.
731
00:36:24,514 --> 00:36:26,184
I was. I was going
to catch up with you,
732
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:29,896
and I wanted to see Vienna,
and I just went, Oh, yeah, No,
733
00:36:29,936 --> 00:36:31,688
that's.
That's just a straight up.
734
00:36:31,688 --> 00:36:34,900
No, not, not,
not going to happen. Yeah, well,
735
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:38,403
I think in a similar way and
I think Myanmar lights out,
736
00:36:38,403 --> 00:36:40,114
they would probably see it
this way too.
737
00:36:40,114 --> 00:36:43,867
That in that positive way
help out in. Oh okay.
738
00:36:43,867 --> 00:36:49,081
I guess you can
look at things as to why
739
00:36:46,077 --> 00:36:52,251
you probably shouldn't going
participate in a sport
740
00:36:49,414 --> 00:36:54,295
or participate in working out
or going to a well,
741
00:36:52,251 --> 00:36:55,588
even just going to like
even just go into work, man.
742
00:36:55,588 --> 00:36:58,757
My old work colleague
Ken was always Ken.
743
00:36:59,132 --> 00:37:01,885
He would just come in.
He was the opposite of us.
744
00:37:01,885 --> 00:37:05,056
He would just get
every little whiff of a flu.
745
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:07,557
It would catch it
and he'd catch a good
746
00:37:07,557 --> 00:37:10,143
and he would still come
into work all the time and
747
00:37:10,143 --> 00:37:13,940
just get all of us sick.
Well, now I get this
748
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:16,983
because pre-COVID, honestly,
I was like that myself.
749
00:37:17,025 --> 00:37:21,197
And yes, like the way I work,
everyone was like, Yeah, I'm
750
00:37:18,485 --> 00:37:22,614
going to work like I did it.
And we were nice as well
751
00:37:22,614 --> 00:37:24,449
in that manner
of how to give a shit.
752
00:37:24,449 --> 00:37:26,409
If you've got a broken leg,
you're going to school,
753
00:37:26,409 --> 00:37:29,621
you know, going to work.
It doesn't matter
754
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:31,623
what sickness you got.
I think beyond COVID
755
00:37:29,621 --> 00:37:34,210
now, obviously
people are working from home
756
00:37:31,623 --> 00:37:35,503
and working different things.
In my workplace.
757
00:37:35,503 --> 00:37:37,963
They do go down the path of,
Hey, if you're sick, stay home
758
00:37:37,963 --> 00:37:41,342
and if you can't work, okay work,
work from home,
759
00:37:39,422 --> 00:37:44,219
don't bring it in.
Have worked in many workplaces
760
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:45,846
since as well that did that,
which is
761
00:37:44,219 --> 00:37:48,014
I mean, it makes sense, right?
Like it makes sense. I was
762
00:37:48,014 --> 00:37:51,936
going to say you mentioned it
to me, dude, specially.
763
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,813
And for parents out there,
I think you know
764
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:57,148
you might relate to here
as soon as having a baby
765
00:37:57,608 --> 00:38:02,570
it very much changes
your means of being clean.
766
00:38:02,570 --> 00:38:05,740
And I think your idea
of sickness because, you know,
767
00:38:05,782 --> 00:38:10,538
even before having a baby. Sure.
You know,
768
00:38:07,994 --> 00:38:12,456
I kind of cared about it. I took,
you know, the mentality of it.
769
00:38:12,456 --> 00:38:15,458
But again, I've kind of got
a good immunity.
770
00:38:15,583 --> 00:38:18,295
And that might be from
because I used to, you know,
771
00:38:18,295 --> 00:38:21,423
I don't swallow and whatever else
when I was younger
772
00:38:21,423 --> 00:38:23,425
and just got a good immunity
system right.
773
00:38:23,425 --> 00:38:26,429
And took takes a lot
for me to get sick.
774
00:38:26,594 --> 00:38:30,724
But now with the baby do you know
you think through was
775
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:31,934
oh damn you know,
at least the first six weeks
776
00:38:31,934 --> 00:38:37,648
I've got to really keep this baby
away from sickness because of
777
00:38:34,186 --> 00:38:40,358
all of these various reasons
and time it's,
778
00:38:38,315 --> 00:38:42,610
you know, you're handling poo
all the time. You know,
779
00:38:40,358 --> 00:38:45,072
you get pissed on your hands.
You're, you know, you're
780
00:38:42,610 --> 00:38:46,949
having to touch their face.
You want to make sure
781
00:38:45,072 --> 00:38:49,452
that you're getting
dirt or whatever when you're
782
00:38:46,949 --> 00:38:53,621
cleaning them up and whatnot.
So you become hyper
783
00:38:49,452 --> 00:38:56,083
aware of being quite clean,
and that is washing your hands
784
00:38:53,831 --> 00:38:59,670
a lot, making sure
you're disinfecting, you know,
785
00:38:57,626 --> 00:39:02,965
bringing in extra things.
And it's a almost mandatory way
786
00:39:03,632 --> 00:39:04,759
to ensure
that you're not selfish.
787
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:07,385
And I think kids in a way
are really great for this.
788
00:39:07,385 --> 00:39:10,389
It forces you, forces
you to not be selfish
789
00:39:10,389 --> 00:39:12,432
because you can look
after something else.
790
00:39:12,432 --> 00:39:14,934
And for a lot of people,
you know,
791
00:39:14,934 --> 00:39:17,938
you might do this when you
look out for your dog,
792
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:24,277
you look after a family member.
But it's it's quite often
793
00:39:20,065 --> 00:39:26,030
when you have a kid, a baby,
that it's the first time
794
00:39:24,277 --> 00:39:29,824
when you truly
have to look after something
795
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:33,036
quite, you know, purely
in that that thing cannot
796
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:34,538
look after itself without you.
And there's not
797
00:39:33,329 --> 00:39:35,414
a lot of things in life
where that happens.
798
00:39:35,414 --> 00:39:37,875
I think it's shopping
two years ago. Okay, cool.
799
00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:41,545
There's a level of healthiness
that I need to now consider
800
00:39:41,545 --> 00:39:44,882
and that is of
of being clean, of considering
801
00:39:42,505 --> 00:39:48,344
where I'm going of.
Yeah, it's very, very much a
802
00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:50,054
conversation that had me upon
in the last couple of days of,
803
00:39:50,054 --> 00:39:52,306
oh, we need to go and do this.
We need to go to the shopping
804
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:55,434
center.
It's, oh, hey, we're going
805
00:39:52,306 --> 00:39:57,103
to let's go to this cafe.
But we need to be able
806
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:58,561
to sit outside
so we're not inside in amongst,
807
00:39:58,561 --> 00:40:01,981
like all these people.
That is crowded because
808
00:39:59,813 --> 00:40:05,860
we don't want to expose.
I just yet to hear
809
00:40:01,981 --> 00:40:07,862
the general blades of life
that might be around.
810
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:10,115
So they'll come.
And for me, you know,
811
00:40:07,862 --> 00:40:11,659
I think about it as a parent
and even myself,
812
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:14,954
I kind of want expose
kids and myself to the general
813
00:40:15,996 --> 00:40:19,250
sickness of life, because
the more
814
00:40:18,039 --> 00:40:21,585
you kind of exposed to it,
the more you can actually
815
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:23,336
build up a tolerance to it.
And you're going to be kind
816
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:24,755
of, okay, yeah,
you know, nothing worse.
817
00:40:24,755 --> 00:40:26,172
And like, you know,
for yourself, boy, in a
818
00:40:26,172 --> 00:40:29,175
anybody sort of thing, boy,
a bubble. And then you come out
819
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:32,137
and you die
because you get, you know,
820
00:40:29,175 --> 00:40:34,722
you get pricked by skin.
I mean, it's pretty deadly.
821
00:40:34,722 --> 00:40:36,599
But you know, you don't
want something like that.
822
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:38,561
But you you don't want
the other extreme where you're
823
00:40:38,561 --> 00:40:41,771
essentially bombarding
someone with, you know,
824
00:40:40,478 --> 00:40:43,356
I'm not telling you to go
stand next to the
825
00:40:43,356 --> 00:40:46,943
nuclear reactor foot in the
elephant foot in Chernobyl to see
826
00:40:46,943 --> 00:40:49,737
just so you can get
a little bit of uranium into,
827
00:40:48,070 --> 00:40:50,822
you know, you know,
somewhere in the middle
828
00:40:50,822 --> 00:40:55,161
where you can kind of understand
how much sickness
829
00:40:52,992 --> 00:40:56,161
can you tolerate
as well at the state
830
00:40:56,161 --> 00:40:59,164
that you're in between a baby
with very low immunity.
831
00:40:59,373 --> 00:41:01,791
So you as a human being,
you know, having
832
00:41:01,791 --> 00:41:04,378
different types of immunity
depending on where you are in
833
00:41:04,378 --> 00:41:05,588
and your training
and your sleeping,
834
00:41:05,588 --> 00:41:08,173
eating and all that
sort of stuff, for sure.
835
00:41:08,173 --> 00:41:12,552
Let's jump onto the summary, man.
So for me, I was just going, man,
836
00:41:12,552 --> 00:41:16,681
probably the worst part of it.
I think the thing
837
00:41:14,137 --> 00:41:20,311
that is really killer for me
is just the insomnia,
838
00:41:16,681 --> 00:41:23,230
the not being able to sleep.
The days don't hurt me as much.
839
00:41:23,230 --> 00:41:26,233
This kind of those endless
nights where you're just
840
00:41:26,233 --> 00:41:32,739
tossing and turning and
I don't know about
841
00:41:29,695 --> 00:41:34,115
you, but I can kind of if it
if it's 3 a.m., I'm
842
00:41:34,115 --> 00:41:37,702
not going to get up to go
do something on the laptop.
843
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:42,875
Maybe I'll read.
But that's that's probably
844
00:41:39,454 --> 00:41:44,793
about the most intense activity,
the thing that I'll do.
845
00:41:44,793 --> 00:41:46,461
And so I usually just
kind of stick
846
00:41:46,461 --> 00:41:50,132
the stick through it and,
you know, maybe that's something
847
00:41:48,547 --> 00:41:51,842
I need to change and experiment
with some other stuff.
848
00:41:51,842 --> 00:41:55,846
But definitely
the kind of insomnia is
849
00:41:52,842 --> 00:42:01,684
a thing that scares me up.
And to be honest men, I think you
850
00:41:58,766 --> 00:42:05,648
you had a good point about the
having something forcing you
851
00:42:01,684 --> 00:42:09,150
to to look after yourself
and to to kind of do better
852
00:42:05,648 --> 00:42:14,907
or you have to do it.
So, you know, I had no real
853
00:42:09,150 --> 00:42:18,494
priorities do on that Sunday,
especially on that Sunday
854
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:22,206
that needed doing immediately.
Everything could could be
855
00:42:20,286 --> 00:42:25,960
pushed off
the thankfully, I'd managed
856
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:28,963
to record on Saturday
the episode that I was going
857
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:33,550
to do all the editing and stuff,
you know, I just went out of
858
00:42:31,422 --> 00:42:35,594
do that later.
And so I did on Monday.
859
00:42:35,594 --> 00:42:38,347
I think if I had maybe,
you know, a baby girl
860
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:42,226
who was just kind of like,
Oh, you know, she needs food.
861
00:42:42,226 --> 00:42:46,105
Even though I don't feel like
going outside. And I well,
862
00:42:46,105 --> 00:42:48,606
I've had to go outside and get
some bloody food, you know.
863
00:42:48,606 --> 00:42:53,737
So I think there is something
about having something to
864
00:42:50,442 --> 00:42:57,657
force your hand that can work.
And yep, just in my opinion,
865
00:42:54,112 --> 00:42:59,952
the placebo effects probably
have more of an impact than
866
00:42:59,952 --> 00:43:03,414
actual scientific data
and preventative steps.
867
00:43:03,414 --> 00:43:06,958
So, I mean, I've,
I've tried in the past,
868
00:43:06,958 --> 00:43:10,086
you know, eating more oranges,
having more vitamin C,
869
00:43:10,963 --> 00:43:14,592
most of the other stuff
I do. Okay. You know, the sleep,
870
00:43:12,755 --> 00:43:17,719
the keeping myself
active, reduce the anxiety and
871
00:43:14,592 --> 00:43:21,849
stress and stuff like that.
But yeah,
872
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:24,851
honestly, I think it's more
just just probably even believing
873
00:43:24,851 --> 00:43:26,644
that I won't get sick,
you know, saying
874
00:43:26,644 --> 00:43:31,692
I'm not the type of person
who get sick is probably stronger
875
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:33,693
than a lot of the
the things you might take.
876
00:43:33,693 --> 00:43:36,280
Yeah. Look, my summary around
this is a couple of things.
877
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,032
One, societal health
versus personalized
878
00:43:39,032 --> 00:43:43,621
health is very different.
And so the general means
879
00:43:40,117 --> 00:43:48,041
of what society should do
based on a pandemic issue,
880
00:43:43,621 --> 00:43:51,628
flu sickness, whatever
can be, doesn't have to be,
881
00:43:48,626 --> 00:43:53,130
but usually is different
to the personal health
882
00:43:51,628 --> 00:43:55,965
that you might take.
So, you know, we gave you
883
00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:58,594
examples about leadership.
And you know, for us,
884
00:43:55,965 --> 00:43:59,802
paracetamol doesn't work,
doesn't mean
885
00:43:58,594 --> 00:44:01,929
that it won't work for you.
And I think this is very much
886
00:43:59,802 --> 00:44:02,889
trial and error.
I just like there isn't
887
00:44:02,889 --> 00:44:05,893
a variety of things in life
that you have to kind of know
888
00:44:05,934 --> 00:44:08,061
when do you get shitty?
Is it after six out of ten?
889
00:44:08,061 --> 00:44:10,606
Are you kind of like kind of
between three out of ten
890
00:44:08,978 --> 00:44:12,733
and eight out of ten? You know,
you're a big crybaby, but you can
891
00:44:12,733 --> 00:44:16,027
kind of make it work after that.
You have to know
892
00:44:14,443 --> 00:44:18,614
that in yourself. And again,
with a lot of things in life,
893
00:44:18,614 --> 00:44:21,492
we can tell you you can go on
research just till you die,
894
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:24,119
but until you go through it
and kind of experience it
895
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:26,371
and know what it is
that you should do,
896
00:44:26,371 --> 00:44:28,039
you're not going to know
it's personal. And that's
897
00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:30,166
why it's the personal health
is quite important.
898
00:44:30,166 --> 00:44:34,797
So go figure that out.
The the other point as well,
899
00:44:31,793 --> 00:44:36,882
I think is, you know,
try to prevent
900
00:44:34,963 --> 00:44:37,800
as much as possible
the sickness, you know,
901
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,760
being away from the sickness
where it's going to be.
902
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,719
But if you can't, then manages
the best possible.
903
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,431
Right, it's going to be
the next best step around it.
904
00:44:45,724 --> 00:44:49,686
And the the I think
the discipline as well.
905
00:44:49,686 --> 00:44:52,815
And we talk about it
sometimes with training
906
00:44:52,815 --> 00:44:56,610
around, hey,
don't overwork yourself in the
907
00:44:53,690 --> 00:44:57,820
training perspective, right?
Because if you do overtraining,
908
00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:59,862
you're going to
get into injuries and whatever
909
00:44:59,862 --> 00:45:04,784
same thing of applies
in a more general health
910
00:45:01,447 --> 00:45:07,954
principle here, which is, hey,
sickness in general,
911
00:45:05,411 --> 00:45:10,498
you're going to get it more
if you're more run down
912
00:45:07,954 --> 00:45:14,503
your immunities.
And that's usually a
913
00:45:10,498 --> 00:45:17,715
a cause of it to stressed out
your heart rate variability,
914
00:45:14,711 --> 00:45:19,925
slow your sleep metrics,
not good. All of those things
915
00:45:18,465 --> 00:45:21,342
which look you can either
track them or not track them.
916
00:45:21,342 --> 00:45:23,637
But just in general,
if you're running a revenue
917
00:45:23,637 --> 00:45:29,476
engine at 110%, 8000 PM
every single day,
918
00:45:26,681 --> 00:45:31,478
don't be surprised.
Are you going to get sick
919
00:45:29,476 --> 00:45:33,856
all the time too?
So I think it's also
920
00:45:31,478 --> 00:45:36,858
the discipline of knowing,
hey, if you don't want to be
921
00:45:33,856 --> 00:45:40,403
as sick as often,
you should also be either
922
00:45:37,067 --> 00:45:44,240
including pauses
and availability for your body
923
00:45:40,403 --> 00:45:46,784
to recover and get in your
beat a better immunity level
924
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:49,663
or health level,
or just don't run
925
00:45:46,784 --> 00:45:52,958
as hot all the time.
And I think both of us tend
926
00:45:49,663 --> 00:45:54,501
to do that quite well here.
The mere mortals, you know.
927
00:45:54,501 --> 00:45:55,878
Madeline Kahn
We might talk about the things
928
00:45:55,878 --> 00:45:57,713
we're
doing in the month goals and
929
00:45:58,838 --> 00:46:00,423
start to get better.
You know, case in point,
930
00:46:00,423 --> 00:46:02,967
I put out a little video about me
thinking about
931
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:05,429
doing a fitness app
and all this sort of stuff,
932
00:46:02,967 --> 00:46:06,972
and you rightly commented,
Go, baby, go with
933
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:09,099
that was going on.
And I made also the the
934
00:46:09,099 --> 00:46:11,143
the executive decision
that has been pursued
935
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:14,353
that and I'm going to down
another path
936
00:46:11,934 --> 00:46:16,063
which is much easier. But again,
it's just picking your battles,
937
00:46:16,063 --> 00:46:21,360
especially as you get on to know
what you should be prioritizing
938
00:46:19,318 --> 00:46:23,197
from an energy perspective.
As much as you want to do
939
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,739
everything, the more you do,
the more you're having,
940
00:46:24,739 --> 00:46:26,282
the more you're having
the lawyer immunity,
941
00:46:26,282 --> 00:46:27,742
the more likelihood
you're going to get sick.
942
00:46:27,742 --> 00:46:32,623
And then, you know,
so it's it's a risk valley
943
00:46:29,994 --> 00:46:36,083
perspective as well.
So yeah, my summary don't
944
00:46:32,623 --> 00:46:37,753
override that engineer model
that's out there make sure you're
945
00:46:37,753 --> 00:46:40,047
keeping yourself
a little bit in the tank.
946
00:46:40,047 --> 00:46:42,632
So if something comes along,
you can kind of deal with it.
947
00:46:42,632 --> 00:46:46,385
It doesn't knock you out for
months on end
948
00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:48,012
because you're sick. Yeah.
And then you're so you,
949
00:46:48,012 --> 00:46:49,764
you kind of super screwed
because you don't
950
00:46:49,764 --> 00:46:53,434
have the luxury of of kind
of moping for a day like I did
951
00:46:53,434 --> 00:46:58,690
and working out at the ocean.
I've got ten things to do now.
952
00:46:58,690 --> 00:47:03,487
Yeah, no, I know. But also in the
in the old days I've seen people
953
00:47:01,068 --> 00:47:05,447
who gotten sick and, you know,
this is not
954
00:47:03,487 --> 00:47:07,114
if some terrible sickness
like a cancer or something worse.
955
00:47:07,114 --> 00:47:08,909
It's, you know,
it's a really bad flu,
956
00:47:08,909 --> 00:47:11,619
but they weren't in the state
that they could have
957
00:47:11,619 --> 00:47:14,831
really optimally taking it on
and going to toss it away.
958
00:47:14,831 --> 00:47:17,376
They were overworked and,
you know,
959
00:47:17,376 --> 00:47:19,670
they had a multiple thing
that they were looking after
960
00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:22,463
and yet they were sick
for ages, like months.
961
00:47:22,463 --> 00:47:24,465
And then it took them out.
They couldn't do anything
962
00:47:24,465 --> 00:47:27,427
and they took them a long time
to recover. You know,
963
00:47:27,427 --> 00:47:29,847
it's kind of the balance
between do you
964
00:47:29,847 --> 00:47:35,143
you know, if in your mindset,
do you run a 110% and then expect
965
00:47:32,891 --> 00:47:37,521
that twice in a year,
you have to be out for a month
966
00:47:35,143 --> 00:47:40,983
because you going to be sick
or do you run at 80% and
967
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:42,900
be okay with being sick for
maybe only for a week or two?
968
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:44,402
You kind of have to balance it
up and go,
969
00:47:44,402 --> 00:47:47,197
you know, sometimes it is
going to be better one way,
970
00:47:45,403 --> 00:47:49,365
sometimes going to be better.
The other people
971
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:50,992
have to make that choice
and you probably have
972
00:47:49,365 --> 00:47:52,536
to watch out as well
because you hear about
973
00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:55,956
on the opposite end of the
spectrum, you know, loved one
974
00:47:57,164 --> 00:47:59,835
life partner passes
away for someone who's elderly
975
00:47:59,835 --> 00:48:03,838
and then they kind of like
just get sick and die for
976
00:48:00,793 --> 00:48:06,717
for no real reason.
I there is a bit of truth
977
00:48:04,422 --> 00:48:11,054
into that. If you're
if you've got nothing going on
978
00:48:08,050 --> 00:48:12,556
during your days as well,
you're kind of moping around.
979
00:48:12,556 --> 00:48:15,766
You know,
you got five operating at 5%.
980
00:48:15,809 --> 00:48:20,646
You got to you got to like walk
the dog once every couple of days
981
00:48:18,144 --> 00:48:23,233
or something.
I think that's prime
982
00:48:20,646 --> 00:48:25,318
ground as well for just
just stuff intruding
983
00:48:23,233 --> 00:48:29,947
upon your life And like,
sickness is kind of like, oh,
984
00:48:25,318 --> 00:48:32,826
yeah, yeah, we go to do it. Well,
I think there's probably
985
00:48:30,907 --> 00:48:35,579
there's, there's, there's
definitely a sweet spot
986
00:48:32,826 --> 00:48:37,831
in not being low enough
where something like
987
00:48:35,579 --> 00:48:40,125
this is just going to
completely destroy you because
988
00:48:37,831 --> 00:48:43,545
you have nothing else going.
You have no reason to live
989
00:48:40,125 --> 00:48:44,630
almost to going to hot
and then just getting knocked.
990
00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:46,505
Knock for six
when something comes along.
991
00:48:46,505 --> 00:48:50,052
Hmm. Yeah. Nice. Mean.
Do you need a jump off now?
992
00:48:50,052 --> 00:48:51,929
I think we can. I think we can
do the bootstrap launch.
993
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:57,266
All right, so that's beautiful.
Okay, so the Boost Gram lounge.
994
00:48:57,643 --> 00:49:00,646
This is excellent,
because everything
995
00:49:00,686 --> 00:49:03,898
I kind of double checked,
and I'm pretty sure
996
00:49:02,146 --> 00:49:05,983
I've got everything in here.
So much noise.
997
00:49:05,983 --> 00:49:08,945
So we're going to be jumping
from the first one
998
00:49:09,403 --> 00:49:12,824
over here, which is McIntosh
on who sent us on the 20th.
999
00:49:12,824 --> 00:49:15,202
He sent this from Fountain
2100 sets.
1000
00:49:15,202 --> 00:49:18,996
This is great interview at Khan
to my favorite podcast
1001
00:49:17,411 --> 00:49:20,916
is chatting
about all kinds of interesting
1002
00:49:18,996 --> 00:49:23,751
topics.
Exactly what I would expect
1003
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:25,045
if I could interject.
There are reasons to have an open
1004
00:49:25,045 --> 00:49:27,338
ledger, the blockchain
and what are privacy?
1005
00:49:27,338 --> 00:49:31,510
Bitcoin Privacy for individuals
certainly isn't perfect,
1006
00:49:29,215 --> 00:49:33,052
but it's getting there.
We'll probably talk
1007
00:49:31,510 --> 00:49:34,972
about the transparent
privacy topic
1008
00:49:33,052 --> 00:49:37,056
very soon on my podcast.
Good Podcasting Macintosh.
1009
00:49:37,056 --> 00:49:41,228
So that was for
the episode of Dave
1010
00:49:38,016 --> 00:49:43,813
where I was making fun of
Bitcoin people
1011
00:49:42,019 --> 00:49:46,315
who go to a meet up
and they're like
1012
00:49:43,813 --> 00:49:49,318
super interested in privacy.
And it's just so funny
1013
00:49:46,315 --> 00:49:50,737
because they're into
the open ledger,
1014
00:49:51,822 --> 00:49:54,824
which is but Bitcoin, which
is the whole point of it,
1015
00:49:54,907 --> 00:49:59,204
is that there's no privacy
and that you can't change things
1016
00:49:56,659 --> 00:50:01,539
and it's immutable.
Yeah, it's a funny woman.
1017
00:50:01,539 --> 00:50:05,043
It's a shame. I miss the Bitcoin
pizza day on Monday
1018
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:08,963
because there are,
there are funny things
1019
00:50:07,128 --> 00:50:11,257
you make from people
when you go to these events
1020
00:50:08,963 --> 00:50:15,971
and whatnot. Official Yeah, yeah.
Very, very interesting
1021
00:50:13,802 --> 00:50:19,474
with that one.
We have another one here,
1022
00:50:15,971 --> 00:50:24,103
which was from Pete.
I actually I'll get a Chris's
1023
00:50:20,809 --> 00:50:27,440
first so Chris, Chris last.
So this is Chris
1024
00:50:24,103 --> 00:50:28,567
from Jupiter Broadcasting.
The latest
1025
00:50:28,567 --> 00:50:32,862
is for a Linux action show,
which was one of his first shows.
1026
00:50:32,862 --> 00:50:36,490
I should be chatting with him
in 36 hours roughly.
1027
00:50:36,782 --> 00:50:44,458
Oh, came for that.
He sent in a big one, 77,770 700.
1028
00:50:44,791 --> 00:50:48,878
I know. So I know why that's
called a stripe a boost.
1029
00:50:48,878 --> 00:50:51,882
And I always thought
that was stripe as in
1030
00:50:52,132 --> 00:50:58,597
I pr know it's stripe
y p which were a kind of
1031
00:50:59,222 --> 00:51:02,893
Christian rock band,
one of the Christian metal,
1032
00:51:03,101 --> 00:51:07,731
perhaps bent.
And instead of using the 666
1033
00:51:08,856 --> 00:51:11,860
mark of the beast
kind of numerals as,
1034
00:51:11,860 --> 00:51:14,112
as they're kind of worshiping
of Satan or things.
1035
00:51:14,112 --> 00:51:18,157
So Christian they,
they transformed it into 777.
1036
00:51:18,282 --> 00:51:22,119
And so that is a stripe,
a boost for in recognition
1037
00:51:22,119 --> 00:51:25,081
of them.
A little bit early for us,
1038
00:51:22,871 --> 00:51:27,501
I'm sure.
One, you've never heard of
1039
00:51:25,081 --> 00:51:28,876
Stripe or nine. I have.
I heard the name,
1040
00:51:28,876 --> 00:51:32,922
but most of the song
seems to be from 1986.
1041
00:51:33,632 --> 00:51:36,009
Yeah, that's
six years before we've gone.
1042
00:51:36,009 --> 00:51:43,016
So a little bit before our time.
And anyway, Chris
1043
00:51:38,677 --> 00:51:45,101
sits in that big row of seven,
so he says, Felt like
1044
00:51:43,016 --> 00:51:47,896
I needed to hear this episode.
Thank you. And so I was living
1045
00:51:45,811 --> 00:51:50,106
in the present moment.
The utility of meditation, one
1046
00:51:50,106 --> 00:51:54,902
that came out just before this
ironic, ironic that I do one
1047
00:51:51,817 --> 00:51:58,114
about living in the moment,
and then the next thing I do
1048
00:51:54,902 --> 00:51:59,907
is get sick and it's like,
I don't want to live
1049
00:51:58,364 --> 00:52:01,326
in this moment. I want
anything but this moment.
1050
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:06,998
Oh, lordy.
So but thank you, Chris, so,
1051
00:52:05,038 --> 00:52:11,293
so much. I appreciate it.
We have one here from Pete
1052
00:52:07,833 --> 00:52:13,420
on the Web today,
from Peter today. We do. We do.
1053
00:52:13,420 --> 00:52:20,469
So the first one here
is 38,383. 83.
1054
00:52:20,887 --> 00:52:24,974
He says congratulations, one,
I'll let you did this one and
1055
00:52:22,514 --> 00:52:27,184
one because that's awesome.
As adjusted, you got this one.
1056
00:52:24,974 --> 00:52:27,936
Congratulations. One.
Thank you very much.
1057
00:52:27,936 --> 00:52:29,771
I think I will be on team
not poop.
1058
00:52:29,771 --> 00:52:33,275
Tracking of the day comes.
I mean my mother never tracked
1059
00:52:31,021 --> 00:52:36,027
poop and I turned out fine. Well,
mostly fine. So arguable.
1060
00:52:36,027 --> 00:52:39,072
Very much so.
Peter, thank you very much
1061
00:52:37,362 --> 00:52:42,074
for that message.
And to that being sent
1062
00:52:39,072 --> 00:52:46,454
through Fountain as well,
very much like today, we
1063
00:52:42,742 --> 00:52:49,373
probably started from today.
It's less
1064
00:52:47,371 --> 00:52:51,960
tracking of the of the poos
and the ways
1065
00:52:49,373 --> 00:52:53,961
it was less of a cave factor.
I guess it's not to become
1066
00:52:52,501 --> 00:52:55,630
an average thing and we're more
looking at the averages.
1067
00:52:55,630 --> 00:52:58,757
But look, yeah, honestly,
we got a lot more and more.
1068
00:52:58,757 --> 00:53:00,635
I'm kind of like, Oh,
did you really have to do it?
1069
00:53:00,635 --> 00:53:03,722
Probably. Probably not really.
But yeah, I'm all statistics.
1070
00:53:03,722 --> 00:53:06,016
But Pete, I think very much
that big, big boost
1071
00:53:06,016 --> 00:53:09,978
they it's a big baby boost
so the 3838 is the
1072
00:53:10,269 --> 00:53:14,065
the baby the better baby
that was said yesterday
1073
00:53:11,605 --> 00:53:17,068
so just last week so perfect
timing for this to big babies
1074
00:53:17,068 --> 00:53:19,237
and we get a big baby
boost coming in.
1075
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:21,530
Thank you very much.
And then we've got
1076
00:53:19,905 --> 00:53:22,990
another baby boost
from the small baby. All right.
1077
00:53:22,990 --> 00:53:25,202
So the first one was for me,
this one's for you,
1078
00:53:25,202 --> 00:53:30,164
a lesser baby.
So this was a 3938 SATs
1079
00:53:26,119 --> 00:53:31,625
and using fountain by Peter
is today 233.
1080
00:53:31,625 --> 00:53:35,253
He says even though he turned
out to be a huge ends justify
1081
00:53:35,253 --> 00:53:38,632
the means TD's
patient You know what TD's
1082
00:53:39,965 --> 00:53:45,639
Trump derangement syndrome
and it's 100% now same powers.
1083
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:48,891
His book Waking Up Reality
barely turned me
1084
00:53:47,181 --> 00:53:50,976
into mindful meditation.
Mere models about the audiobook
1085
00:53:49,893 --> 00:53:52,436
and ended up
transcribing the bulk of it
1086
00:53:50,976 --> 00:53:56,690
by hand. Also very meditative,
meditative theme. I find it
1087
00:53:54,731 --> 00:53:59,568
extremely helpful in life, notes
the 388 SATs using fountain.
1088
00:53:59,568 --> 00:54:03,155
Yeah, waking up is that
that book is what kind of.
1089
00:54:03,489 --> 00:54:07,117
Mm goodness. I can. Yeah. Yeah.
Kind of convinced me.
1090
00:54:07,117 --> 00:54:09,329
I was always before a bit
skeptical
1091
00:54:09,329 --> 00:54:12,331
of meditation and whatnot,
but I think
1092
00:54:12,998 --> 00:54:15,460
listening to him and reading
the book also helped.
1093
00:54:15,460 --> 00:54:21,465
But yeah, he was Sam Harris's
great. Just just not
1094
00:54:19,005 --> 00:54:24,135
when it comes to politics.
This is awful. It's
1095
00:54:21,465 --> 00:54:26,887
I can't listen to.
This is terrible.
1096
00:54:26,887 --> 00:54:29,516
Yeah, I don't enjoy that.
He's going down the path
1097
00:54:28,347 --> 00:54:31,893
that he is
now purely for the fact
1098
00:54:29,516 --> 00:54:33,353
that he was such a great
individual to listen to,
1099
00:54:33,353 --> 00:54:36,106
you know, like he was able
to present things so well,
1100
00:54:36,106 --> 00:54:38,775
articulate himself,
not you know, it's not everything
1101
00:54:37,523 --> 00:54:40,068
that I listen to him.
But the predominant amount of
1102
00:54:40,068 --> 00:54:42,445
things was like,
wow, this dude is
1103
00:54:42,445 --> 00:54:44,530
incredibly intelligent.
Not that he's not already,
1104
00:54:44,530 --> 00:54:46,949
but not that
he can continue to not be.
1105
00:54:46,949 --> 00:54:48,867
But it's
just a lot of other things
1106
00:54:48,867 --> 00:54:50,619
which now into play
into his conversations
1107
00:54:50,619 --> 00:54:51,704
that I'm like,
Oh, did you really have
1108
00:54:51,704 --> 00:54:54,623
to go down this path?
They are fallen off the radar
1109
00:54:54,623 --> 00:54:58,210
for for a couple of years,
to be honest. As I looked into
1110
00:54:57,001 --> 00:55:00,130
some of his things,
especially the summaries
1111
00:54:58,210 --> 00:55:03,007
of all the stuff
which I've been really
1112
00:55:00,130 --> 00:55:04,592
enjoying, So I'm okay with it.
I think that's all the comes
1113
00:55:03,007 --> 00:55:08,012
as well on this. All the others,
it is those of the main ones.
1114
00:55:08,262 --> 00:55:11,766
What I can give is just
a couple little extra tidbits.
1115
00:55:12,099 --> 00:55:16,061
We have now claimed the other
show. So the models on on
1116
00:55:17,105 --> 00:55:19,606
pot fans as well Sam's working
hot away at that.
1117
00:55:19,606 --> 00:55:22,402
Some pretty cool stuff coming
I can't share.
1118
00:55:22,402 --> 00:55:25,362
All of it is kind of fun
being behind the scenes and
1119
00:55:25,362 --> 00:55:27,489
I can share it with you.
Want to memorialize at home?
1120
00:55:27,489 --> 00:55:33,038
You have to wait if the light.
But yeah, that's that
1121
00:55:30,034 --> 00:55:35,914
that's going to be a really
useful for
1122
00:55:33,579 --> 00:55:38,918
for people who use the desktop
and it's going to come
1123
00:55:35,914 --> 00:55:40,878
as an app as well
It's going to be pretty,
1124
00:55:39,210 --> 00:55:42,755
pretty damn good.
He's got some cool
1125
00:55:40,878 --> 00:55:45,132
features in there.
A big shout out to this person.
1126
00:55:45,132 --> 00:55:49,512
We were meant to do this
a while ago,
1127
00:55:45,967 --> 00:55:52,891
but I, I forgot and I was
randomly going through iTunes
1128
00:55:49,846 --> 00:55:54,934
and I found a review
that someone had left for us.
1129
00:55:54,934 --> 00:55:59,438
Oh eight The January 2023.
So good.
1130
00:55:59,438 --> 00:56:05,487
What, four and a half months?
Yep. And he says five gave us
1131
00:56:05,487 --> 00:56:08,489
five stars
as my name is James Drum.
1132
00:56:08,530 --> 00:56:10,699
And he says, Great
to listen to the lads
1133
00:56:10,699 --> 00:56:14,286
having a good yarn on the goal
setting. Always an important way
1134
00:56:12,369 --> 00:56:17,164
to keep focus. I like that
they do this as a periodic review
1135
00:56:17,164 --> 00:56:22,503
to hold each other accountable.
So once again, the Boost
1136
00:56:18,958 --> 00:56:24,755
Gram lounge, I mean that's
not a boost to Gram, but
1137
00:56:24,755 --> 00:56:27,759
sending in a review like that,
it's it's nice.
1138
00:56:27,759 --> 00:56:30,969
I feel it when I see it.
I'll certainly read it out
1139
00:56:29,094 --> 00:56:33,139
and say
thank you James from the doing
1140
00:56:30,969 --> 00:56:36,476
that. The problem with reviews
though for for anyone
1141
00:56:34,724 --> 00:56:38,644
who doesn't know this is
they don't actually help
1142
00:56:36,476 --> 00:56:41,106
the SRI visibility it doesn't
get you more subscribers
1143
00:56:41,106 --> 00:56:45,275
or listeners or more promotions
or anything like that
1144
00:56:42,481 --> 00:56:48,612
unless you get
a kind of strategic certain
1145
00:56:45,275 --> 00:56:53,867
bulk of people all reviewing
in a certain time period like
1146
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:57,914
within a week or two weeks,
maybe the reviews do nothing
1147
00:56:53,867 --> 00:57:00,875
other than social credit.
So awesome social credit.
1148
00:56:57,914 --> 00:57:03,001
Thank you James, for that.
But yeah, just for anyone
1149
00:57:03,001 --> 00:57:05,630
they at home and feel like,
oh, just leave a review.
1150
00:57:05,630 --> 00:57:08,425
It's not as powerful
is as you might think it is.
1151
00:57:08,425 --> 00:57:10,260
Yeah, I was going to say,
is it as powerful
1152
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:12,177
as something through a boost
came to the shrine
1153
00:57:12,177 --> 00:57:14,139
that was something
a bit more powerful.
1154
00:57:14,139 --> 00:57:18,684
Now I can tell you
this hundred percent. Now, look,
1155
00:57:16,974 --> 00:57:22,146
Chris sent in a massive
baller boost,
1156
00:57:18,684 --> 00:57:24,815
but that boost study sent in,
I think it was 222,000.
1157
00:57:24,815 --> 00:57:30,112
Yeah, massive road dunks
a month ago
1158
00:57:27,068 --> 00:57:32,865
that increased visibility
for this show way
1159
00:57:30,112 --> 00:57:36,202
more than basically
anybody we've seen any
1160
00:57:32,865 --> 00:57:39,831
any review, any social posting
I've done any like collabs
1161
00:57:36,202 --> 00:57:42,833
or anything like that.
Just, just that one thing. Yeah.
1162
00:57:42,833 --> 00:57:46,920
Really really help the
so massive thanks to Chris
1163
00:57:44,085 --> 00:57:49,923
for that and also
just an encouragement
1164
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:52,177
for those at home,
other other little bits
1165
00:57:50,007 --> 00:57:55,889
and pieces. This kind of turning
into the housekeeping
1166
00:57:52,885 --> 00:57:56,889
now I guess as well is
the value for value show.
1167
00:57:56,889 --> 00:58:01,728
I have moved onto Blue Barry now,
so I have kind of started
1168
00:57:58,724 --> 00:58:05,106
put some things in action
and that I will be going
1169
00:58:02,144 --> 00:58:07,192
live with that.
I'm probably thinking
1170
00:58:05,106 --> 00:58:08,860
about two or three weeks time.
So it wasn't this month
1171
00:58:07,192 --> 00:58:11,862
as I promised.
Okay, I'll be excited
1172
00:58:08,860 --> 00:58:15,282
that that'll be soon.
Potentially even the book
1173
00:58:13,030 --> 00:58:18,744
reviews in the future.
I know I said that a while ago,
1174
00:58:17,117 --> 00:58:20,914
but I've I've kind of
come to the point
1175
00:58:18,744 --> 00:58:23,708
now where it's like,
I think it's better to create
1176
00:58:23,708 --> 00:58:27,295
better functionalities
kind of going forward
1177
00:58:24,958 --> 00:58:29,047
rather than trying to preserve
some of the stuff
1178
00:58:27,295 --> 00:58:30,965
that we had in the past.
I think that's just me,
1179
00:58:30,965 --> 00:58:34,635
you know, being finicky and,
going like all this time,
1180
00:58:34,635 --> 00:58:39,806
all this stuff broken,
but that's it. Sometimes
1181
00:58:38,472 --> 00:58:45,480
that happens and whatnot
and yeah, I think those are up
1182
00:58:42,476 --> 00:58:48,858
and just the website
with slightly fixed up the
1183
00:58:49,567 --> 00:58:51,277
supporter page
which I left broken
1184
00:58:51,277 --> 00:58:54,280
for a while, but thank you
for calling me that one. And
1185
00:58:55,572 --> 00:58:57,784
I got got onto that
and made it a little bit
1186
00:58:57,784 --> 00:59:02,789
better than than it used to be.
And yeah, more functionality
1187
00:58:59,284 --> 00:59:04,998
coming to the website soon.
That's high. My priority list.
1188
00:59:04,998 --> 00:59:08,585
Good good
the the call that I'll make
1189
00:59:06,125 --> 00:59:09,545
you as well as as
I was mentioning about
1190
00:59:09,545 --> 00:59:12,548
the fitness thing
and as you know I called out
1191
00:59:12,882 --> 00:59:15,009
a ago that a website called
push jerk
1192
00:59:15,009 --> 00:59:17,052
that did like a daily training
and I was like,
1193
00:59:17,052 --> 00:59:23,476
yeah, outside. That's awesome.
I've been I just posting those
1194
00:59:21,014 --> 00:59:25,353
and those were
those shorts were kind
1195
00:59:23,476 --> 00:59:26,228
of kicking off a little bit.
I saw them, I saw them.
1196
00:59:26,228 --> 00:59:30,023
So in any case, I'm basically
just for people listening in.
1197
00:59:30,023 --> 00:59:32,110
Now, a little tidbit,
just basically when we
1198
00:59:32,110 --> 00:59:35,195
are trying to film immortals
and just purely of
1199
00:59:35,195 --> 00:59:37,282
my own training, I just wanted
to see whether there was
1200
00:59:38,407 --> 00:59:40,952
much attraction or if anyone
actually cared about it.
1201
00:59:40,952 --> 00:59:42,536
It's kind of similar
to the fact that you
1202
00:59:42,536 --> 00:59:46,331
you look at doing
the let me do monthly
1203
00:59:43,329 --> 00:59:49,001
goals of your fitness
training and how it's going.
1204
00:59:49,001 --> 00:59:51,045
I'm basically
just going to be trying
1205
00:59:51,045 --> 00:59:54,298
to hold it helps me
because in in the posting
1206
00:59:54,298 --> 00:59:55,465
on there, it's easy
for me to actually
1207
00:59:55,465 --> 00:59:58,052
look at them when I'm training
and like I call this COC
1208
00:59:58,052 --> 01:00:01,764
rather than Excel spreadsheet
and I can go into it
1209
00:59:59,304 --> 01:00:03,099
probably in detail later,
but I'm going to be try, I'm
1210
01:00:03,099 --> 01:00:05,018
putting them there
and then if anyone wants
1211
01:00:03,682 --> 01:00:06,811
to consume them,
go do that rather than me.
1212
01:00:06,811 --> 01:00:09,606
Creating well,
creating, leveraging an app
1213
01:00:09,606 --> 01:00:12,275
and doing all these things
and trying to get you to go
1214
01:00:10,481 --> 01:00:13,900
and follow it and charge for it
or something like that.
1215
01:00:13,900 --> 01:00:17,155
I'm like, Yeah, I'll do that.
And it is another key factor
1216
01:00:14,735 --> 01:00:20,157
from people
as we go on and, you know,
1217
01:00:17,155 --> 01:00:21,784
months time or years time,
then I could look at being like,
1218
01:00:21,784 --> 01:00:24,494
I cool
if this thing actually looked
1219
01:00:22,242 --> 01:00:27,873
at the mats, those like 50 people
who want to pay
1220
01:00:26,246 --> 01:00:29,541
like ten bucks a month,
something for me
1221
01:00:27,873 --> 01:00:30,960
to do more specific thing
that they could follow.
1222
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,047
It's kind of relatively
like balances out the cost
1223
01:00:34,047 --> 01:00:38,009
of doing an app type of deal.
So I guess I'll be doing that
1224
01:00:35,380 --> 01:00:40,302
and you'll start seeing that
probably the next few months
1225
01:00:38,009 --> 01:00:42,639
to come. Okay, cool.
Yeah, I'm interested in that.
1226
01:00:42,639 --> 01:00:45,391
One of the things that
I've treated to the goals,
1227
01:00:45,391 --> 01:00:47,101
I'll talk a little bit
more about it. Yeah, Yeah.
1228
01:00:47,101 --> 01:00:49,394
Brilliant. Yeah. Let's.
Let's leave it at that. Yep.
1229
01:00:49,394 --> 01:00:52,523
So much too much to discuss
in the month. Much to discuss.
1230
01:00:52,523 --> 01:00:53,940
Our folks are going to
leave it there.
1231
01:00:53,940 --> 01:00:56,152
Thank you very much for tuning
in to Musings once again.
1232
01:00:56,152 --> 01:00:59,655
Thank you very much.
Time for picking
1233
01:00:56,860 --> 01:01:03,034
today's topic around.
And if you at home have
1234
01:00:59,655 --> 01:01:05,244
benefited from any of that,
please feel free to send
1235
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:06,036
through some value back to us.
That's a booster agreement.
1236
01:01:06,036 --> 01:01:07,746
We talked about plenty
through that.
1237
01:01:07,746 --> 01:01:10,123
You can go to the new
podcasting apps
1238
01:01:10,123 --> 01:01:13,543
out there, just like bound to.
I'll give another way
1239
01:01:11,668 --> 01:01:17,798
that people can do it.
So one of the things is to use
1240
01:01:13,543 --> 01:01:20,842
get Alby that's I think that
where we're both using
1241
01:01:18,590 --> 01:01:23,554
for multiple wallets
now I've got two, you've got one.
1242
01:01:23,554 --> 01:01:29,018
And so if you go to get become
you can actually use that
1243
01:01:29,018 --> 01:01:32,396
to get, get bitcoin
just like fountain.
1244
01:01:32,396 --> 01:01:35,065
And once again
it's not about the bitcoin
1245
01:01:33,356 --> 01:01:36,733
Bitcoin's the unimportant thing,
it's about the sending
1246
01:01:36,733 --> 01:01:40,445
of value back and forth.
So you can go to get Alby.
1247
01:01:40,445 --> 01:01:45,367
They've got an integration
where it is credit card detail,
1248
01:01:42,739 --> 01:01:47,202
it gives you some sets
and then if you go on
1249
01:01:45,367 --> 01:01:50,289
to the podcast
index boards and go to models
1250
01:01:50,914 --> 01:01:54,043
and you'll be able to see
right on the screen
1251
01:01:54,043 --> 01:01:56,128
there, it's like,
do you want a boost in?
1252
01:01:56,128 --> 01:01:59,090
And you can
do that on the desktop. That
1253
01:02:00,215 --> 01:02:03,552
should be able to do that in
our website and in the future.
1254
01:02:03,594 --> 01:02:08,974
Once again, it's a fingers cross.
It will be coming.
1255
01:02:06,556 --> 01:02:09,766
So yes, for sure.
So now me more or less.
1256
01:02:09,766 --> 01:02:11,978
We got to leave it there
24th of June.
1257
01:02:11,978 --> 01:02:15,398
I'd be happy to do it
at the end of Westside baby.
1258
01:02:15,398 --> 01:02:18,900
In the chat says, My question was
what's the sickest
1259
01:02:17,315 --> 01:02:20,737
you've ever been?
And it's the sickest
1260
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:23,739
I've ever been was,
I believe, 2020, where I lost
1261
01:02:20,737 --> 01:02:26,659
ten kilograms in a month
was my most successful
1262
01:02:23,864 --> 01:02:28,494
cut so far. It is actually,
I believe I remember
1263
01:02:28,494 --> 01:02:30,204
when Westside Baby
got that sick or.
1264
01:02:30,204 --> 01:02:33,875
Yeah, I remember he was not
well beginning sickening.
1265
01:02:33,875 --> 01:02:35,460
And with that, folks,
we're going to leave it there.
1266
01:02:35,460 --> 01:02:38,755
I hope that you out there
don't lose ten kilograms
1267
01:02:36,878 --> 01:02:41,423
of being sick,
but take some of our nights
1268
01:02:38,755 --> 01:02:44,427
and maybe look into, you know,
how do you can prevent and
1269
01:02:41,423 --> 01:02:46,512
manage sickness in the future.
Be more
1270
01:02:44,552 --> 01:02:46,512
online type you well Juan out
00:00:03,753 --> 00:00:10,592
Welcome Mere
Mortals to another episode
2
00:00:06,296 --> 00:00:13,512
of The Mere Mortals Musings.
You have your two favorite
3
00:00:10,843 --> 00:00:14,805
Mere Mortals here.
You've got Kyrin on this side
4
00:00:14,805 --> 00:00:16,349
and Juan
on the other side of the mic.
5
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:17,850
And Juan
is definitely going to be sick
6
00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:22,105
and there's a reason for that.
Oh, you know the baby
7
00:00:19,728 --> 00:00:23,690
and she is going to be
spreading the sickness.
8
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,984
So a Musing’s episode
is where we pick a topic
9
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:28,486
and we dive deeper into it
and examine
10
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:31,030
all of the little nooks
and crannies. Typically,
11
00:00:31,030 --> 00:00:33,533
we do the boostagram
lounge in the middle bit.
12
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,868
We're going to switch it up
and try doing it at the end today
13
00:00:35,868 --> 00:00:39,539
because Juan
might have a hard out
14
00:00:36,453 --> 00:00:42,125
and we might run out of time.
So we'll we'll
15
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:46,378
just see with regarding that.
The reason I chose this one was,
16
00:00:46,378 --> 00:00:49,423
well, first of all, date
today is Wednesday 24th May.
17
00:00:49,423 --> 00:00:52,844
We're live. So for everyone
who hasn't heard this before,
18
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:55,054
we do
go live and eat on Wednesdays
19
00:00:55,054 --> 00:00:57,307
7 p.m., Australian
Eastern Standard Time.
20
00:00:57,307 --> 00:01:01,185
So the reason I picked
this one was basically
21
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:04,272
all that has happened to me
this last week has
22
00:01:04,272 --> 00:01:09,778
just been I've gotten sick.
And that's kind of like dominated
23
00:01:06,775 --> 00:01:12,489
my thoughts, dominated by
just everything
24
00:01:10,444 --> 00:01:15,115
that I was meant to do
has been like, All right, well,
25
00:01:13,072 --> 00:01:16,117
I guess I'm sick now and
I'm just dealing with that.
26
00:01:16,117 --> 00:01:20,037
So it got wrecked and it was
truly out of the blue as well.
27
00:01:20,496 --> 00:01:23,500
36 hours of straight up
suck for anyone who didn't
28
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:32,132
join the live. But I wanted to, I
guess, start with the
29
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:34,593
maybe some of our experiences
and then we can get into like
30
00:01:32,132 --> 00:01:37,638
the prevention and prevention
and management of sicknesses
31
00:01:34,593 --> 00:01:41,558
and maybe how we can
futureproof ourself from them
32
00:01:39,224 --> 00:01:45,605
and whatnot.
So one of the things to
33
00:01:41,558 --> 00:01:48,775
start off with was every time
I check up on Pete Smithson,
34
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:51,778
he's always sick, man.
He is just getting these
35
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:53,822
constant sicknesses from
he says is due to day care.
36
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:57,492
But I think it's kind of day
care come pangolin wet market
37
00:01:57,492 --> 00:02:00,787
that he's obviously
taking his children to so on.
38
00:02:01,328 --> 00:02:03,706
First question for you.
Do you think this is the future
39
00:02:03,706 --> 00:02:08,377
is the future of one year
when little Vienna
40
00:02:05,707 --> 00:02:10,838
is going to all the daycares?
Are you just going to get wrecked
41
00:02:10,838 --> 00:02:14,717
or is it just weak
Pete's Constitution? Well,
42
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:17,387
probably a bit of weeks, Pete,
but I was
43
00:02:14,717 --> 00:02:21,098
I was thinking about this
in typical one
44
00:02:17,387 --> 00:02:23,600
fashion of thinking, yeah,
how can I spin this to say,
45
00:02:21,306 --> 00:02:26,770
you know, I can get away with it
or No, my, my fortitude
46
00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:28,313
in terms of my training
and my health
47
00:02:28,313 --> 00:02:30,817
is going to be so superb
that it won't happen.
48
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:33,819
But no, it will.
And I think undoubtedly,
49
00:02:33,819 --> 00:02:35,697
you know, your kid,
you know, for me,
50
00:02:35,697 --> 00:02:38,449
having a little baby girl
and as she goes, I'm sure
51
00:02:38,449 --> 00:02:39,950
she's going to pick up things
as she goes along.
52
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:43,955
And that's just part of,
you know,
53
00:02:41,703 --> 00:02:46,915
increasing the immunity from,
you know, a human can pick up
54
00:02:44,830 --> 00:02:49,043
things to be sick for
and then allow yourself
55
00:02:46,915 --> 00:02:52,045
to be able to recover
and build up
56
00:02:49,043 --> 00:02:53,338
that resistance to it.
So I do think
57
00:02:52,296 --> 00:02:56,008
I can get away with it.
I think there is a future where
58
00:02:56,008 --> 00:02:58,510
you might be in the predominant,
you know, how
59
00:02:58,510 --> 00:03:00,763
we would usually and for us
and we're talking here
60
00:03:00,763 --> 00:03:02,890
just the two of us,
the current in myself,
61
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:06,728
we don't necessarily
see what people consider the,
62
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:08,937
you know, the wave of sickness
that might be going around.
63
00:03:08,937 --> 00:03:12,233
This would be with COVID or
with flus or something else.
64
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,611
We don't generally get the flu
or our the sicknesses
65
00:03:15,611 --> 00:03:19,449
when other people do purely
because we. All right.
66
00:03:19,449 --> 00:03:22,784
Even now, because this
this one that now
67
00:03:22,784 --> 00:03:28,081
it seems everyone's getting it.
My brother's friend is look
68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,168
and if it's like sorry pandemic
it nature that everyone's
69
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:32,711
getting it, well, you're
probably going to get it
70
00:03:30,793 --> 00:03:34,756
And that's the thing.
But, you know, this is a case
71
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:36,341
where for me, I'm
probably going to be venturing
72
00:03:36,341 --> 00:03:40,219
into the next couple of years
into, oh, it's flu season
73
00:03:40,510 --> 00:03:44,098
and there is no two ways
about it. I'm going to get it.
74
00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:48,436
It's not like I've in the past
where it's like it's flu season
75
00:03:46,058 --> 00:03:52,189
and I can avoid it.
Yeah, I've never changed
76
00:03:48,436 --> 00:03:54,108
or altered my behavior
because people have said,
77
00:03:52,189 --> 00:03:55,568
Oh, it's flu season
now or anything like that.
78
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:58,570
It's always been going on.
Well, you know,
79
00:03:58,570 --> 00:04:01,449
that's just like every winter,
so it doesn't affect me.
80
00:04:02,616 --> 00:04:07,080
Yeah, it's I look to the
point to the point of Pete
81
00:04:03,825 --> 00:04:11,292
sort of mentioning it, it's
there's going to be
82
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:14,294
I doubt it amount of sickness
and malice that's going to be
83
00:04:11,292 --> 00:04:17,423
coming into my household,
into the future
84
00:04:14,419 --> 00:04:20,468
and I'm saying malice
Yeah it's less about
85
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:22,720
the control I think I can
imply upon my little girl.
86
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,516
Other people, because, you know,
you take them to daycare
87
00:04:24,514 --> 00:04:29,226
or school or life
and they're going
88
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:30,812
to bring something back.
There's not much
89
00:04:29,226 --> 00:04:31,396
I can do about that.
I think it's more on
90
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:35,942
the preventative side
of what I can do. But in terms of
91
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:39,987
what life is going to draw me
in the positions of more
92
00:04:37,151 --> 00:04:41,281
sickness being around me, yeah,
that's just going to come.
93
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:45,242
So I can see that
that to be my future. Hmm.
94
00:04:45,492 --> 00:04:48,788
How do you handle actual
sickness when you get it?
95
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:51,708
So, like,
let me I assume you've had
96
00:04:52,834 --> 00:05:00,341
minor with maybe a couple of ones
which were more intense
97
00:04:57,672 --> 00:05:02,677
in nature of your life.
And, man, I am such a baby.
98
00:05:02,677 --> 00:05:05,680
I'm the epitome of the cry
baby, the big baby.
99
00:05:06,471 --> 00:05:10,685
Call me Vienna because I just
struggle so much.
100
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:15,398
Any minor infraction
upon my thinking,
101
00:05:15,398 --> 00:05:20,528
especially upon my sleep
and just on my kind
102
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:23,865
of abilities to
do things, it throws
103
00:05:21,278 --> 00:05:26,826
everything out of whack.
And I kind of let it
104
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:28,827
I let this routine just
smack me around.
105
00:05:28,827 --> 00:05:33,040
And there's not a drop of
stoic virtue to be found in me
106
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:38,713
when it comes to getting sick.
I just struggle
107
00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:41,923
and suck and mope.
And it's a funny thing because I
108
00:05:42,132 --> 00:05:44,177
the whole point of well,
not the whole point,
109
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:49,307
but a lot of stoic
virtues is to be able
110
00:05:45,677 --> 00:05:51,434
to, you know, to carry on
when you're
111
00:05:49,307 --> 00:05:54,937
in adverse circumstances.
And that includes obviously,
112
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:58,858
the personal dramas
and things of life, but
113
00:05:54,937 --> 00:06:00,610
also the straight up physical.
You know,
114
00:05:59,108 --> 00:06:03,196
you got your leg chopped off.
Yeah. Now trapped in slavery,
115
00:06:00,942 --> 00:06:05,281
you've got pneumonia,
whatever it is. So I don't know.
116
00:06:05,281 --> 00:06:06,824
How do you
how do you actually handle it
117
00:06:06,824 --> 00:06:09,576
once you get a sickness?
Are you a big baby?
118
00:06:09,576 --> 00:06:12,579
Well, look, let me model some.
So the answer is, of course,
119
00:06:12,579 --> 00:06:14,206
we're all big babies
at some form.
120
00:06:14,206 --> 00:06:16,918
It depends on the level for me
and I was talking about
121
00:06:16,918 --> 00:06:19,295
the example before we went
probably a lot in the podcast,
122
00:06:19,295 --> 00:06:23,925
but I'll retell it is last week,
I'm sure
123
00:06:22,255 --> 00:06:25,050
had some level of sickness
maybe of what's going around
124
00:06:25,050 --> 00:06:28,012
and what you had
maybe was an inferior level
125
00:06:28,012 --> 00:06:32,641
because I didn't feel that much.
Those in generality, it's
126
00:06:32,641 --> 00:06:35,644
probably a common cold
or something around the nature
127
00:06:35,894 --> 00:06:39,899
what I had going on with life
just as a byproduct of
128
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:42,276
just having a baby slash
other things.
129
00:06:42,276 --> 00:06:45,112
There was no time to mope
or to be a big baby.
130
00:06:45,112 --> 00:06:48,574
And in general
I don't act like that anyways,
131
00:06:46,238 --> 00:06:52,495
when I'm sick, you know,
I'll still keep my normal
132
00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:54,038
routine of waking up early
time, my normal meals,
133
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:55,956
training, running,
whatever it may be.
134
00:06:55,956 --> 00:07:01,086
It doesn't really deviate.
And I can I can champion through
135
00:06:58,459 --> 00:07:04,632
that little infractions. So do
you need to use more willpower
136
00:07:01,629 --> 00:07:07,718
to do all those things? For sure,
In some instances, no.
137
00:07:07,718 --> 00:07:10,805
Such as training for me
and I'll get to that.
138
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:13,348
Unless it's a real hardcore
sickness
139
00:07:13,348 --> 00:07:16,185
that's probably even better.
Like, I genuinely feel better
140
00:07:16,185 --> 00:07:17,769
even when I'm
seeing such a strain.
141
00:07:17,769 --> 00:07:23,692
If it's if it's at a lower level,
maybe the sleeping
142
00:07:20,355 --> 00:07:27,028
less, the extra focus
going without particular
143
00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:28,656
things like let's say
if it's if I'm sick
144
00:07:27,028 --> 00:07:30,408
on a particular day. And again
I'm talking like medium
145
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:34,286
to low level sickness,
if I'm not having a coffee
146
00:07:34,286 --> 00:07:36,706
or something else
to motivate me, slash
147
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:39,040
energize me, okay,
It is more difficult,
148
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,084
of course, to be focused
and everything else.
149
00:07:41,084 --> 00:07:44,504
I have it normally.
So without that
150
00:07:42,252 --> 00:07:46,673
it's going to be more of a
push for me.
151
00:07:46,673 --> 00:07:49,802
But there is a boundary and look
there are examples of how
152
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:52,846
this many times in my life
where I'll get hit with
153
00:07:50,927 --> 00:07:55,391
something that,
you know, equivalent to what
154
00:07:52,846 --> 00:07:57,935
you just explained or worse,
where it'll be 36
155
00:07:55,391 --> 00:08:00,396
hours, 48 hours,
maybe four days of
156
00:07:57,935 --> 00:08:02,064
just really bad sickness.
And then I turn into a big baby,
157
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:05,860
then it's full baby mode where
it's I'm staying in bed now.
158
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:09,988
Everything goes out the window
in terms of the discipline,
159
00:08:10,447 --> 00:08:13,576
as in I'm going to be I'm
going to be waking up early.
160
00:08:13,658 --> 00:08:15,702
I'm going to be getting extra
sleep, I'm going to be eating
161
00:08:15,702 --> 00:08:18,915
extra showers. Maybe that was
What about the showers? Look,
162
00:08:18,122 --> 00:08:22,209
I'm going to be trying to
eat better, I guess, and more
163
00:08:18,915 --> 00:08:25,838
so in particular, not for
the fasting or,
164
00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:28,007
you know, body weight reduction
or protein synthesis. Nice.
165
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:31,384
Purely for
I just want to recover, you know,
166
00:08:30,134 --> 00:08:33,553
I want to get better in this.
And whether it's like
167
00:08:31,384 --> 00:08:36,515
a warm soup when it's called
whatever it may be, it's more
168
00:08:33,553 --> 00:08:39,226
orientated towards that way.
The only, only, only caveat
169
00:08:39,226 --> 00:08:41,854
is that even when I'm really,
really, really sick,
170
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:45,357
I still I'll be laying in bed,
being a big baby, being like
171
00:08:45,357 --> 00:08:47,442
someone bring me this food
or I'm feeling terrible.
172
00:08:47,442 --> 00:08:49,861
I've got a fever,
I've got I can barely see.
173
00:08:49,861 --> 00:08:52,697
I'm still in the back of my mind.
I know who got me.
174
00:08:52,697 --> 00:08:53,615
I really wish I could try
and like,
175
00:08:53,615 --> 00:08:55,326
maybe I'll go for a walk.
Maybe I'll go for a run.
176
00:08:55,326 --> 00:08:58,578
Maybe I could get a gym session.
I'm probably throwing up.
177
00:08:58,578 --> 00:09:01,831
Sorry, but I don't so well,
So I won't do that. That,
178
00:09:01,831 --> 00:09:03,750
you know, that's probably
the only one in my mind
179
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:05,669
where I'm like,
Oh, I should be doing this.
180
00:09:05,669 --> 00:09:08,047
But I turn into a full big
baby when it's yeah,
181
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:13,052
when it's pretty rotten feeling.
And we had this actually, both
182
00:09:09,881 --> 00:09:16,096
of us, we experienced this
in last year, but the
183
00:09:14,345 --> 00:09:17,807
year before that New Year's
where we had COVID
184
00:09:17,807 --> 00:09:23,019
really kind of hit us, not really
hit me for a few days
185
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,522
and we're just down and out
for quite a few days around that.
186
00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:30,570
So yeah, I think for me, maybe
to the point
187
00:09:27,649 --> 00:09:33,405
of turning into a big baby is
a little bit more oriented
188
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:36,366
towards the extreme.
But for come to a point when
189
00:09:33,405 --> 00:09:39,412
I just turned to a big baby
Yeah, for me I've noticed it's
190
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:43,541
actually in this kind of
in-between stage so the stoic,
191
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:46,961
you know, virtues
and being able to kind of
192
00:09:43,541 --> 00:09:50,715
weather it without
with magnanimity whatsoever
193
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:53,884
being magnanimous
or equanimity. And
194
00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:57,846
I can find when I'm so this,
this last one that I had.
195
00:09:57,846 --> 00:10:01,350
So I started Saturday
evening, barely got a drop of
196
00:10:02,643 --> 00:10:09,191
liquor, sleep all night
next day was just feeling
197
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:13,696
woeful from start to finish,
managed to have a small nap
198
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:16,865
in the afternoon, which
I actually got some sleep
199
00:10:16,990 --> 00:10:20,327
but then didn't want to ruin
this next night. So.
200
00:10:20,577 --> 00:10:22,746
So I kind of left it
at an hour or two.
201
00:10:22,746 --> 00:10:24,624
I don't even know
how long it was.
202
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:27,335
And then the next night
was just as well.
203
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:29,169
Yeah. And then the next day
it was kind of good.
204
00:10:29,169 --> 00:10:33,215
But there was these periods
where I was shivering
205
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:36,134
and I was full on just
shivering like crazy.
206
00:10:36,134 --> 00:10:39,388
And it was it
in those instances and kind of
207
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:41,599
the worst of the worst
where I wasn't actually
208
00:10:41,599 --> 00:10:45,977
a big baby, you know, wasn't
crying out or calling for help
209
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,313
for people.
It was kind of just like,
210
00:10:45,977 --> 00:10:50,441
I'm going to suck this up.
This is going to be shit
211
00:10:48,313 --> 00:10:55,446
for the next however long period,
I don't know. And then, you know,
212
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:56,947
I'll get through this.
And I've had this other times
213
00:10:55,446 --> 00:10:59,825
before,
especially with food poisoning
214
00:10:56,947 --> 00:11:02,119
and things like that, where
I can just kind of work
215
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:02,952
through the worst of it.
But it's when it's in
216
00:11:02,952 --> 00:11:08,167
that little recovery phase
or in the. Yeah,
217
00:11:06,456 --> 00:11:10,919
mostly in the recovery phase
where it's not
218
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:12,754
the worst thing in the world.
I've always
219
00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:14,923
I've been through the worst,
but now I'm just I'm
220
00:11:12,754 --> 00:11:16,634
kind of just moping.
I'm feeling sorry for myself.
221
00:11:16,634 --> 00:11:22,014
Yeah. So it's kind of,
I don't know. Instead, you know,
222
00:11:19,010 --> 00:11:24,015
if zero out of ten was
perfectly fit and healthy,
223
00:11:24,015 --> 00:11:25,975
ten out
of ten was the worst of the
224
00:11:26,976 --> 00:11:32,441
of the shivering and whatnot.
I'm anywhere between kind of 3 to
225
00:11:32,441 --> 00:11:36,445
8 is when I'm the big baby
and that's when I'm right. Okay.
226
00:11:36,445 --> 00:11:42,659
I could do stuff on my laptop.
There's nothing physically
227
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:45,663
stopping me other than, you
know, throbbing headache
228
00:11:42,659 --> 00:11:48,749
and just general wellness.
But to go,
229
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:51,043
it's like I don't want I can't
fathom the thought of doing it.
230
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,003
And it's just like,
no, get away from me.
231
00:11:53,003 --> 00:11:56,048
Don't want to do it. Gotcha.
Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah.
232
00:11:56,048 --> 00:11:57,216
And that same example
of youth gave,
233
00:11:57,216 --> 00:12:02,053
I think for me it would be
maybe like six once it get to,
234
00:11:59,342 --> 00:12:03,722
like once it
get to six and above a girl.
235
00:12:03,722 --> 00:12:10,104
That's it, big baby. My, my.
Okay. Yeah, yeah. So for me,
236
00:12:08,184 --> 00:12:13,441
it's like that with middle
portion which yeah, I need a
237
00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:14,357
examine that psychologically.
What the hell's going on there.
238
00:12:15,609 --> 00:12:17,570
Let's, let's
talk about prevention then.
239
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:21,865
So I'm sure you know
more about the science of this
240
00:12:21,865 --> 00:12:25,201
than I do, because anything
that has any chance
241
00:12:25,201 --> 00:12:28,121
of affecting training.
I feel like you you've,
242
00:12:28,121 --> 00:12:31,207
you've looked into it
at some point and yeah, so
243
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:36,129
things like vitamin C
of getting flu shots and
244
00:12:37,173 --> 00:12:40,301
maybe even like masks and
stuff in terms of prevention,
245
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:45,597
have you do you,
do you use allies that
246
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:49,268
have you used any of that?
What scientifically
247
00:12:46,097 --> 00:12:50,852
how much weight
do you think there is on
248
00:12:50,852 --> 00:12:53,688
being able
to stop getting sick from
249
00:12:53,688 --> 00:12:57,150
these kind of like common flus
and things like this?
250
00:12:57,150 --> 00:13:02,865
Not particularly diving into,
you know, pneumonia and other.
251
00:13:03,365 --> 00:13:05,658
Well, I could see a couple
of some instances. Right.
252
00:13:05,658 --> 00:13:08,828
So if I was to imagine,
just like we are right now
253
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:10,956
in Australia
or at least even Brisbane,
254
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:13,500
you know, there's is a wave of
whatever's going through.
255
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:17,754
And I did see not too long ago
there was a article about
256
00:13:17,754 --> 00:13:21,299
Omicron Wave
five is coming to Australia
257
00:13:18,714 --> 00:13:22,802
and be wearing for I don't know
if it's what it is right now
258
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:24,511
and not didn't know
what is the point of it.
259
00:13:24,511 --> 00:13:27,556
Pandemic was over didn't
hear the Who's announcement
260
00:13:27,764 --> 00:13:31,684
started again sort of thing so
but you know to be honest
261
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:37,524
I would even step
take a step back and get this
262
00:13:33,937 --> 00:13:40,235
comes to what you can do
preventively
263
00:13:37,566 --> 00:13:41,528
and what you can control
based on what you can't prevent.
264
00:13:41,528 --> 00:13:45,282
So you know what
we're talking about here with,
265
00:13:42,403 --> 00:13:46,408
you know, my baby girl.
I can't prevent
266
00:13:46,408 --> 00:13:49,245
if she's going to childcare
or school or whatever
267
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:52,413
and what she picks up
and brings home. There's
268
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:55,417
nothing I can do about that.
And then I'll have
269
00:13:52,413 --> 00:13:57,586
to manage it at home and then
we can talk about that.
270
00:13:55,417 --> 00:14:00,673
And there's plenty of it.
But I think in particular
271
00:13:57,586 --> 00:14:05,302
going taking a step back,
if I can prevent at the first
272
00:14:01,005 --> 00:14:09,139
instance in being around or,
you know, getting the cold
273
00:14:05,594 --> 00:14:11,642
or flu or whatever, it's going
around in the first place,
274
00:14:09,139 --> 00:14:15,395
well, all the better.
So at least for me
275
00:14:11,642 --> 00:14:19,482
personally, again, it's more
so the choices I take even beyond
276
00:14:20,024 --> 00:14:23,320
the what you're talking about of,
oh, will you take vitamin C?
277
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,197
Do you get more sleep.
Well, yeah,
278
00:14:24,529 --> 00:14:27,908
it's all of those things.
But even better,
279
00:14:26,197 --> 00:14:30,326
just don't put yourself
into the position
280
00:14:27,908 --> 00:14:32,162
then that you're going to get.
These colds
281
00:14:30,326 --> 00:14:33,788
that are predominantly
found were going to be
282
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:36,792
a lot of people.
So, you know, for me
283
00:14:33,788 --> 00:14:40,211
personally right now,
I do have the privilege
284
00:14:36,792 --> 00:14:41,547
of not having to be
going in public transports
285
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:44,549
or having to be in large
crowds of people.
286
00:14:44,591 --> 00:14:46,844
Even better with,
you know, a baby
287
00:14:46,844 --> 00:14:49,846
that's under six weeks old.
You're not really meant
288
00:14:48,761 --> 00:14:52,265
to get them to see any people
until six weeks,
289
00:14:52,265 --> 00:14:55,019
generally the first round
of big vaccinations.
290
00:14:55,019 --> 00:14:57,855
So for me, I'm
not really interacting
291
00:14:55,602 --> 00:14:59,815
with a lot of humans right now
that in itself
292
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:00,899
is being preventative, right?
So, you know,
293
00:15:00,899 --> 00:15:04,570
we're the big places that you're
probably going to find
294
00:15:02,109 --> 00:15:07,947
that you get sick.
Workplaces, public transport,
295
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:11,243
really busy gym settings
anywhere else
296
00:15:09,908 --> 00:15:13,745
where you're going to have
a lot of humans interacting
297
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:15,246
with contact points
where you might
298
00:15:13,745 --> 00:15:18,542
be able to pick it up through
a channels or from
299
00:15:18,542 --> 00:15:20,919
actually equipment or anything
that you might pick up.
300
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:23,714
So for me, you know,
I'm being preventative,
301
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:26,466
not even because I want to.
It's more just by choice
302
00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:27,927
of where I am right now.
I'm not taking public transport.
303
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:30,763
I'm going training at the moment
when there's barely
304
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:33,432
any people around. So it's either
four in the morning or midday.
305
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:35,475
It's kind of fine. You know,
I'm not seeing many humans
306
00:15:35,475 --> 00:15:41,356
around in the area that I train.
And so yeah, if you can do that
307
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:43,484
as a preventative nature,
then you can take those actions.
308
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:46,153
Well, fantastic. I mean, for you,
you kind of do that
309
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:51,658
by default as well, right?
Like, is it just by being a
310
00:15:47,403 --> 00:15:55,037
hermit sage and just Exactly,
you know,
311
00:15:52,868 --> 00:15:55,663
if you're living out in the.
Yeah, I want to take it
312
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,998
to the extreme
in terms of prevention.
313
00:15:57,998 --> 00:16:01,293
Don't live in a mountain,
don't live in the forest
314
00:15:59,582 --> 00:16:03,253
with barely any people
and you will get sick
315
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:04,754
to some degree,
but it won't be so much
316
00:16:04,754 --> 00:16:06,881
the airborne diseases
that are generally found
317
00:16:06,881 --> 00:16:09,969
by congregations
of, of groups of people or,
318
00:16:10,302 --> 00:16:13,389
you know, transits through that.
So yeah, well I mean you can get
319
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:15,599
them from animals
and what whatnot,
320
00:16:15,599 --> 00:16:18,184
you know, bubonic plague
and things like that.
321
00:16:18,184 --> 00:16:22,898
But you know, in terms of the,
the flus and whatnot, they come
322
00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:25,775
from a society perspective.
Yeah. So you can prevent,
323
00:16:22,898 --> 00:16:29,196
you can do some preventative.
So so do you do would you do this
324
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:31,657
actively now
and did you do this before?
325
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:35,744
So for example, last Thursday
I went to salsa dancing.
326
00:16:36,787 --> 00:16:42,125
I'm sure if I listened to the
news that there was
327
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:46,004
a thing going around
and I knew about it, I
328
00:16:43,001 --> 00:16:49,216
still would have gone anyway.
I wouldn't have I wouldn't
329
00:16:46,212 --> 00:16:51,259
have let that I would have
would have prevented
330
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:55,764
for doing not. And yeah,
so I totally get the yet
331
00:16:56,264 --> 00:17:03,938
not did not intentionally
exposing yourself
332
00:17:00,059 --> 00:17:05,648
and suppose risky situations
let's just take like
333
00:17:05,648 --> 00:17:08,652
a massive football game
or something like that.
334
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:15,909
But yeah I'm not a huge fan
of actually
335
00:17:12,905 --> 00:17:20,288
letting the possibility
of getting sick
336
00:17:16,285 --> 00:17:22,332
kind of affect my choices.
Yeah I mean look again
337
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:23,541
this is the same
and we've talked about this
338
00:17:22,332 --> 00:17:26,045
in the past.
It's just the spelling balance
339
00:17:23,541 --> 00:17:28,463
behind it.
Let's take, for instance
340
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:31,340
those two years ago,
two years or so ago
341
00:17:28,463 --> 00:17:32,800
when we went to our new year
and we went out partying. Right.
342
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,386
Like that was really prime
around with
343
00:17:35,386 --> 00:17:37,638
COVID was going around
at least the Brisbane run.
344
00:17:37,638 --> 00:17:40,183
There was an incredibly high
likelihood
345
00:17:40,183 --> 00:17:42,019
that we were all going to get
it as we went out. You know,
346
00:17:43,479 --> 00:17:46,230
we didn't give a shit.
It was kind of like,
347
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:47,148
if we get it, it's fine.
We're at a healthy enough
348
00:17:47,148 --> 00:17:49,192
and we'll get into the
management and preventative
349
00:17:49,192 --> 00:17:50,986
when you get it
or you know what you could do
350
00:17:50,986 --> 00:17:54,740
if it's unavoidable.
But you know, at that point
351
00:17:52,445 --> 00:17:58,786
from our risk value perspective,
we valued the night out
352
00:17:55,990 --> 00:18:00,162
with friends, with the events,
with the activities around,
353
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:01,829
with the stories
that we were making more
354
00:18:01,829 --> 00:18:03,164
than the fact
that we're going to get sick
355
00:18:03,164 --> 00:18:06,460
and be at full kind of roughly
a few days, that's fine.
356
00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:07,627
You know,
you can make that assessment
357
00:18:07,627 --> 00:18:10,631
with even if you knew
all the information,
358
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:14,675
even if you knew it's going
to be some sick people
359
00:18:12,298 --> 00:18:16,303
at this dance event,
you might still go, That's fine.
360
00:18:16,303 --> 00:18:18,971
Like us who want to go out on
dates around them.
361
00:18:18,971 --> 00:18:22,683
You know, I'll, I'll,
I'll, I'll just I'll just
362
00:18:20,848 --> 00:18:23,393
waltz in and around, you know,
you can't catch me.
363
00:18:23,393 --> 00:18:27,855
It's like dodging breath or,
as you say, is so bad
364
00:18:27,855 --> 00:18:30,526
even the flu will go away from.
It's fine, you know.
365
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:35,029
But the reality is
there's a time for me. You know,
366
00:18:33,778 --> 00:18:37,324
you ask me a question.
This things
367
00:18:35,029 --> 00:18:40,326
where public transport
like that is almost a choice
368
00:18:37,324 --> 00:18:42,496
that I have made for many,
many years now where I will not
369
00:18:42,496 --> 00:18:44,623
I will avoid it
as much as possible
370
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:47,334
because you can go and have a
look at some statistics.
371
00:18:47,334 --> 00:18:49,336
It's one of the major places
where you're going to pick up
372
00:18:49,336 --> 00:18:51,296
something from a sickness
perspective, right?
373
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:55,424
Because you think about it,
you go humans constricted
374
00:18:53,714 --> 00:18:57,553
into one particular space
for a set amount of time
375
00:18:55,424 --> 00:18:58,554
that's generally, you know,
20 or 30 minutes.
376
00:18:59,555 --> 00:19:02,141
It's almost unavoidable.
It's going to happen
377
00:19:00,638 --> 00:19:06,185
if you go down the path.
So I set up, you know, choices
378
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:08,564
and actions for myself.
So I'm basically avoiding it
379
00:19:06,185 --> 00:19:10,857
most of the time.
Again, sometimes people can't
380
00:19:08,564 --> 00:19:12,942
and I get that.
But there are choices
381
00:19:10,857 --> 00:19:16,488
that you can make, which are,
you know, then you could
382
00:19:12,942 --> 00:19:17,364
you could wear a mask.
Now, I don't know
383
00:19:17,364 --> 00:19:21,201
about the efficacy
of wearing a mask to prevent
384
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:24,413
rather than to prevent
you contracting it
385
00:19:24,413 --> 00:19:27,415
rather than stop
you spreading it.
386
00:19:27,457 --> 00:19:32,003
I assume it does something,
but yeah, how much? Who knows?
387
00:19:32,003 --> 00:19:33,547
Yeah, but again,
look, we're talking.
388
00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:35,423
There are still steps.
Yeah, Yeah, of course.
389
00:19:35,423 --> 00:19:37,675
But we talk about you have to
me more light here as well.
390
00:19:37,675 --> 00:19:39,553
And so I tell you,
the reality is,
391
00:19:39,553 --> 00:19:42,556
you know, as much as I say
that about public transport,
392
00:19:42,763 --> 00:19:46,809
you know, I'll feel good,
like at the moment,
393
00:19:44,932 --> 00:19:48,854
I know there's probably
going to be a few people
394
00:19:46,809 --> 00:19:51,147
sick in the office.
Then I'll go at some point,
395
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:52,191
you know, in the next
few weeks into the office
396
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:54,526
and I'll go and participate
and talk to people.
397
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:58,446
Look, if I get sick,
well, so be it. I'm not
398
00:19:58,446 --> 00:20:02,326
overwhelmingly scared that,
you know, I'm going
399
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:05,328
to pick up something there.
But again,
400
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:08,749
then it gets into the hey,
my myself as a the state that
401
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:11,751
I mean the immunity
that my body is probably in
402
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:15,255
will also dictate that
I'm kind of okay
403
00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:19,675
to pick up something. Right.
So yes, my sleep is fellowship
404
00:20:16,673 --> 00:20:21,678
over the last couple of weeks,
but I'm feeling quite healthy.
405
00:20:21,678 --> 00:20:25,807
I'm still training.
I feel like I can knock away
406
00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:27,308
most things,
but that would totally change
407
00:20:27,308 --> 00:20:31,605
if I was sleeping terrifically,
if I was completely down in terms
408
00:20:31,605 --> 00:20:34,607
of eating shitty food,
my defenses were down.
409
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:37,402
It might change
then what I actually do.
410
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,488
And again,
that comes the preventative
411
00:20:37,693 --> 00:20:41,865
nature of, okay,
well I'm not going to expose
412
00:20:39,488 --> 00:20:43,157
myself to go to a festival
or go to a big night out than I.
413
00:20:43,157 --> 00:20:46,827
I'm, I get sick
because if I pick up this
414
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:47,496
while I'm in this state,
it's going to be
415
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:50,499
a whole different ballgame
than if I was just
416
00:20:50,707 --> 00:20:53,376
nicely firing and
being in my in my best state.
417
00:20:53,376 --> 00:20:56,837
And that's when it comes into,
okay, well, it's managing
418
00:20:57,130 --> 00:21:01,926
the state that you're in and
a day to day out of our week
419
00:20:58,298 --> 00:21:03,428
to week to be at the
I'm not saying you know
420
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:06,181
optimal beyond the me
immortal type of immunity
421
00:21:06,181 --> 00:21:08,016
but be good enough
that you're not going
422
00:21:08,016 --> 00:21:10,644
to just be absolutely smacked
in the face.
423
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,313
Every little bug comes to you,
every brace. Yeah.
424
00:21:13,313 --> 00:21:16,148
I was actually just thinking,
you know,
425
00:21:14,855 --> 00:21:18,359
what are some of the worst times
I've been sick in my life?
426
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,904
One were while two
were actually in Colombia, one
427
00:21:21,904 --> 00:21:25,032
because I decided to fast
for three days
428
00:21:25,032 --> 00:21:28,036
and then drink alcohol
on the night of the third
429
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,747
and then have a boat ride
to our boat ride
430
00:21:30,747 --> 00:21:33,541
back to the mainland.
Nice folks do not do that.
431
00:21:33,541 --> 00:21:37,128
That was
a two hour boat ride of hell.
432
00:21:38,505 --> 00:21:41,799
Probably the worst.
Probably. Yeah. That's one of
433
00:21:39,548 --> 00:21:43,134
the worst I've ever felt.
I think just in that.
434
00:21:43,134 --> 00:21:45,178
And then once
I got back onto land,
435
00:21:45,178 --> 00:21:51,393
like puked up a bunch of water
slash alcohol and wet slept,
436
00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:55,021
and then I was fine.
Another one once again,
437
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:59,442
Columbia man reckoned me,
a reputable place
438
00:21:55,188 --> 00:22:03,195
called, Cripes and Waffles.
I had like, this kind of
439
00:21:59,776 --> 00:22:08,326
chicken curry type thing
going on. I seem to remember
440
00:22:04,905 --> 00:22:08,910
kind of like post hoc or. Yeah,
I think
441
00:22:08,910 --> 00:22:13,332
when I cut into that chicken,
that was like a little bit
442
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:20,255
of redness in it that night.
Man just rocked me for 6 hours
443
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:21,964
until evacuated everything
in my body from both ends.
444
00:22:21,964 --> 00:22:27,054
And that one was yet another one.
You know, you got COVID.
445
00:22:27,054 --> 00:22:28,971
We were living
in the same house together.
446
00:22:28,971 --> 00:22:32,558
You told me about it,
and I had the option to just go
447
00:22:32,558 --> 00:22:34,810
and stay with my parents
for a week or two.
448
00:22:34,810 --> 00:22:39,066
I could have done that.
But it you know, then it
449
00:22:35,561 --> 00:22:41,859
was I would have had to have
changed all this stuff,
450
00:22:41,859 --> 00:22:45,238
food for the fridge or, you know,
all these sorts of things
451
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:47,824
I would have had to change up.
And so I just went like,
452
00:22:45,238 --> 00:22:49,241
whatever, I'll just
we'll just see
453
00:22:47,824 --> 00:22:51,452
if I get it or not.
Yeah, I got it.
454
00:22:51,452 --> 00:22:55,332
And so I look back
at most of the times
455
00:22:55,332 --> 00:22:58,335
in my life and it's
kind of rare where it's been
456
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:02,047
situations where I couldn't
have done anything.
457
00:23:02,631 --> 00:23:07,051
I mean, there's minor flus.
Yeah, minor flus all the time.
458
00:23:07,051 --> 00:23:10,055
I have no idea where
I pick it up and and whatnot.
459
00:23:10,346 --> 00:23:14,351
But most of the time I look back
and I go, the really bad ones,
460
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:19,480
man, I probably could
have done things this last one.
461
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,693
I'm certain it didn't help that
I That evening before I got sick,
462
00:23:24,693 --> 00:23:26,613
I remember thinking,
oh I should drink some water.
463
00:23:26,613 --> 00:23:31,117
I should drink some water.
And for, you know, kind of
464
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:34,913
4 hours leading up to bed,
I had basically no water and man,
465
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:40,544
I was dehydrated as you know.
That certainly didn't help
466
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:44,172
so well. And again, and let's not
get into the technicalities
467
00:23:42,461 --> 00:23:46,298
over here
because we're not really
468
00:23:44,172 --> 00:23:47,259
want to talk about it.
No, I think people come to
469
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:51,221
this podcast to get the details.
But, you know, in the very basics
470
00:23:51,221 --> 00:23:53,472
from a management perspective,
you hear this,
471
00:23:53,472 --> 00:23:56,643
you can Google this,
so switch it up, it's clean.
472
00:23:56,643 --> 00:23:59,729
You hands hygiene,
make sure you got
473
00:23:59,729 --> 00:24:04,025
plenty of water into your.
Yes, vitamin C
474
00:24:01,189 --> 00:24:07,028
and just vitamins in general,
like just in
475
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:09,655
just in its full generality.
That's more prevention
476
00:24:07,278 --> 00:24:10,865
rather than management. Right.
Sorry. Like this
477
00:24:10,865 --> 00:24:12,659
is a preventative
or even when you've got
478
00:24:12,659 --> 00:24:14,661
something wrong, it's
when you are sick.
479
00:24:14,661 --> 00:24:17,913
It's like make sure you're
well hydrated.
480
00:24:17,913 --> 00:24:21,460
Make sure you got full
macronutrient profile
481
00:24:19,332 --> 00:24:23,295
that's going to be efficient
for what you're
482
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:25,422
getting in micronutrients,
like kind of eliminate stress,
483
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:29,800
right? Get get as much sleep
as you can. Are there any other
484
00:24:28,299 --> 00:24:31,760
like really big ones
that avoid sugar generally?
485
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,762
You know, you want to avoid sugar
as much as possible
486
00:24:33,762 --> 00:24:38,143
when you're actually sick,
that the sugar would propagate
487
00:24:34,722 --> 00:24:40,228
the sickness in essence.
And yeah, I'm sure there's either
488
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:42,189
pathways or things
that we can talk about it,
489
00:24:42,189 --> 00:24:45,192
nor do I know. But I know that
from a general perspective,
490
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:47,277
having sugar is not gonna
help you out when you're sick.
491
00:24:47,277 --> 00:24:49,153
So a lot of that
when you're sick.
492
00:24:49,153 --> 00:24:52,990
But I think the biggest one,
honestly, the biggest one
493
00:24:50,404 --> 00:24:56,702
and look I'm
the worst on with is anyways
494
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:58,954
but it's just dressing like
just predominantly
495
00:24:56,702 --> 00:25:01,958
you know if you are especially
if you're really sick
496
00:24:58,954 --> 00:25:05,377
and you know for me it's
six out of ten and beyond
497
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:07,297
then man, take, take time,
stop doing things
498
00:25:05,503 --> 00:25:08,798
and put any pressure.
I don't take any stresses.
499
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:14,637
Eat water, sleep. I mean,
sleep is going to recover
500
00:25:11,675 --> 00:25:15,430
like a whole host of things
because of me,
501
00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:18,307
you know, especially anything
six out of ten and below.
502
00:25:18,307 --> 00:25:21,435
It's generally gone
by after a good sleep. That's it.
503
00:25:21,435 --> 00:25:23,646
You know, at the moment,
and this probably
504
00:25:23,646 --> 00:25:27,983
is a combination as well
that yeah, I'm not gonna say
505
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:29,778
my immunity is top class
but it's probably better than,
506
00:25:27,983 --> 00:25:30,862
than my in
in its general sense. Right.
507
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:34,490
I keep myself fit I'm healthy
I meaning not too terribly
508
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:37,326
when I get something
I kind of get rid of an
509
00:25:37,326 --> 00:25:39,578
after a good sleep
and being hydrated. That's it.
510
00:25:39,578 --> 00:25:41,623
It won't really stick around
for much longer.
511
00:25:41,623 --> 00:25:44,709
And you know, as a comparison,
going back, I really think
512
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:47,711
when was a times when I was
really, really sick.
513
00:25:48,128 --> 00:25:52,842
It was usually food poisoning.
I've been had food poisoning
514
00:25:49,297 --> 00:25:54,844
in Malaysia as food poisoning.
Many, many years ago
515
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,971
and at Christmas.
And I just felt horrible.
516
00:25:56,930 --> 00:25:59,057
But beside
food poisoning, you know,
517
00:25:59,057 --> 00:26:03,144
it has been, Ray, that
a airborne cold or another top
518
00:26:03,144 --> 00:26:08,525
flu really knocked me about hard.
And in general,
519
00:26:05,564 --> 00:26:10,568
you know, on a yearly basis,
I'll probably get sick,
520
00:26:08,525 --> 00:26:12,278
as we call it,
you know, flu or whatever
521
00:26:10,568 --> 00:26:14,446
it may be.
That's below a six out of ten,
522
00:26:14,446 --> 00:26:16,740
let's say, for five or six
times a year.
523
00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:19,451
And honestly, doesn't
really change what I do today.
524
00:26:19,451 --> 00:26:23,832
I just know that
there might be one day was a
525
00:26:20,703 --> 00:26:25,625
slight decrease in my energy.
I'll respond better,
526
00:26:25,625 --> 00:26:29,336
but it won't really debate my
my normal plan. And you know, the
527
00:26:29,336 --> 00:26:32,339
what you had just recently
like that, that big hit,
528
00:26:32,423 --> 00:26:34,425
I don't think thankfully,
I don't think I've had
529
00:26:34,425 --> 00:26:36,928
anything since the last time
we got sick during COVID
530
00:26:36,928 --> 00:26:40,222
at two and a bit years ago.
Since then, I don't think
531
00:26:38,346 --> 00:26:42,308
I've really been at all
sick enough
532
00:26:40,222 --> 00:26:44,935
that it's taken me away from
doing
533
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:46,938
the things I want to be doing.
Yeah, okay. Yeah. Interesting.
534
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:48,940
How about we jump onto
the management then?
535
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:54,445
And one of the things I wanted
to start off with was, are there
536
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:58,115
any psychological tricks
that you use to help
537
00:26:54,445 --> 00:27:01,786
you get through a sickness?
Because one of the things for
538
00:26:58,532 --> 00:27:04,873
me was actually the showers.
And I think it
539
00:27:01,827 --> 00:27:07,875
you know, there is the kind of
I suppose just the
540
00:27:05,414 --> 00:27:10,002
the body warmth aspect.
It is cold here in Brisbane
541
00:27:10,002 --> 00:27:13,006
getting hot water in
a kind of running on the body
542
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:15,799
and whatnot,
I think actually helped.
543
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:17,969
But I think a lot of
it was due to me
544
00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:21,972
just kind of feeling like I'm
washing away the sickness.
545
00:27:21,972 --> 00:27:24,433
You know,
I'm kind of in the shower,
546
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:27,436
it's like
water running down my head
547
00:27:24,433 --> 00:27:28,771
and I kind of envision
sickness coming off of me,
548
00:27:28,771 --> 00:27:31,775
like I get down the drain
slide to give get rid of that.
549
00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:35,528
And I think there are things
like that which
550
00:27:35,819 --> 00:27:39,990
which certainly work better.
For example, paracetamol.
551
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:45,246
I've never actually noticed.
Some people seem
552
00:27:43,036 --> 00:27:48,249
to take a couple of Panadol
or something and bam,
553
00:27:45,246 --> 00:27:51,251
they reckon they're better.
And for me
554
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:53,462
it's the opposite effect
where I think, man, this thing
555
00:27:53,462 --> 00:27:55,464
probably works
more on the placebo effect
556
00:27:55,464 --> 00:27:58,468
than the actual paracetamol,
the 500 milligrams or whatever
557
00:27:58,468 --> 00:28:01,680
got in it and so it just does
nothing for me.
558
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,765
And so yeah, I was going to,
I was going to say
559
00:28:03,765 --> 00:28:06,851
eat mine, mine one
even placebo like I've had,
560
00:28:07,184 --> 00:28:10,063
I honestly think I can count
in like on my hands
561
00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:12,315
the amount of times
I've had paracetamol.
562
00:28:12,315 --> 00:28:15,192
That's like Panadol.
And every single time
563
00:28:13,148 --> 00:28:17,362
it's done nothing zero.
Like I don't even notice it
564
00:28:15,192 --> 00:28:20,365
single bit. Like I've never
I've never even bothered
565
00:28:18,654 --> 00:28:21,156
to buy it any more.
I don't have it.
566
00:28:21,156 --> 00:28:24,076
I can have some for the kid
and for a partner.
567
00:28:24,076 --> 00:28:26,954
But for me I'm like,
why even take it?
568
00:28:26,954 --> 00:28:29,457
It does nothing.
At least it feels very much
569
00:28:27,747 --> 00:28:31,960
the same for me.
Yeah, I tried it out
570
00:28:29,457 --> 00:28:33,252
this once again.
I have it around just.
571
00:28:33,252 --> 00:28:37,882
Just as the kind of old thing
to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
572
00:28:37,882 --> 00:28:40,926
It's just like, Well, if I.
If I take four, maybe
573
00:28:40,926 --> 00:28:43,304
something will happen
instead of taking two.
574
00:28:43,304 --> 00:28:49,810
And I can't, I can't say it
much like supplements
575
00:28:46,807 --> 00:28:53,440
and I know yet a a
a point about supplements
576
00:28:50,644 --> 00:28:55,357
written down.
But but for me it's it's
577
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:59,445
kind of the same thing
I just don't notice any effect
578
00:28:55,357 --> 00:29:03,950
and so it's kind of why
not even the placebo effect so
579
00:28:59,903 --> 00:29:05,034
yeah well it's interesting
you say about the shot.
580
00:29:05,034 --> 00:29:09,830
So a couple of points for me,
a couple of the management
581
00:29:06,452 --> 00:29:14,126
things that I find work for me
is a high intake of vitamin C,
582
00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:15,545
like it's just a huge dose.
It I'm talking, you know,
583
00:29:15,545 --> 00:29:18,173
when you get your vitamin
C like little pills or whatever,
584
00:29:17,046 --> 00:29:19,173
you can have an about up.
I'm talking pills.
585
00:29:19,173 --> 00:29:21,800
I'll have like four of them
every 4 hours
586
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,053
or something like that,
which is the amount.
587
00:29:24,053 --> 00:29:27,015
And honestly, again,
there's probably some pathways
588
00:29:27,015 --> 00:29:29,224
as to why,
but it really feels good.
589
00:29:29,224 --> 00:29:31,269
Like it feels like genuinely
feels like it helps.
590
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:36,816
That's one thing too.
Um, you know, the Panadol
591
00:29:33,229 --> 00:29:38,192
mentioned ÂŁ9 off for me,
not Nurofen
592
00:29:36,816 --> 00:29:40,612
or anything like that helps.
But what does help
593
00:29:38,192 --> 00:29:43,948
there is a pretty know
there is a product did that
594
00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:47,410
I don't know exactly straight.
I should actually have a quick
595
00:29:44,199 --> 00:29:49,621
look at what it actually has
so that I'm not talking
596
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:51,455
about specifically. I'm going to
say the product name right.
597
00:29:52,499 --> 00:29:55,417
Limp limb sip. Max, have you
ever had this product before?
598
00:29:55,417 --> 00:29:58,296
No. Sorry. It's like a deacon.
Justin Basically,
599
00:29:58,296 --> 00:29:59,713
they they call it
just that decongestant.
600
00:29:59,713 --> 00:30:02,592
I'm going to pull it up
here on my screen,
601
00:30:00,964 --> 00:30:04,426
but I want actually shared
so the listeners at home run
602
00:30:04,426 --> 00:30:08,222
just to try to see if I can find
exactly what the ingredients
603
00:30:06,095 --> 00:30:10,767
behind it. And look,
I wouldn't be surprised
604
00:30:08,515 --> 00:30:12,059
if the bloody thing is
got Panadol in it or something.
605
00:30:12,059 --> 00:30:14,520
So I see if I can actually
bring it up.
606
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:20,818
But the ingredients are seems
pretty simple. Yeah. Absorbing
607
00:30:17,773 --> 00:30:24,279
acid spot of a citric acid
coke, human flavor,
608
00:30:21,109 --> 00:30:28,409
Lactose monohydrate
POLYSORBATE Saccharin, sodium,
609
00:30:25,155 --> 00:30:31,119
silicon dioxide.
So I tried to Christ that's it.
610
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,455
And then it's
got it does have paracetamol
611
00:30:34,414 --> 00:30:40,462
Graham of it and phenylephrine
Ben left refrain hydrochloride
612
00:30:36,625 --> 00:30:42,298
2.2 milligrams. What the fuck
that does no idea
613
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:45,676
but I can tell you dude
that when I start
614
00:30:43,924 --> 00:30:47,804
especially with the cold,
when I start
615
00:30:45,676 --> 00:30:49,931
feeling a cold, right?
This has been like my
616
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:52,307
get my life say
but my game changer
617
00:30:49,931 --> 00:30:54,059
and I always have this one.
So when I want to have the
618
00:30:54,059 --> 00:30:55,854
the faintest view
that I'm getting a cold,
619
00:30:55,854 --> 00:30:58,189
especially like a bad cold
not like a regular call, it's
620
00:30:58,189 --> 00:31:01,526
like whatever, fight through it.
But if it's above a six
621
00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:04,403
out of ten, I start feeling it.
I'll have this thing right
622
00:31:02,943 --> 00:31:05,696
and I'll go.
It's I think it's three
623
00:31:05,696 --> 00:31:07,781
a day or a day
or something like that.
624
00:31:07,781 --> 00:31:14,247
And honestly, I can remember
the difference between
625
00:31:12,244 --> 00:31:17,250
having it and not having like
it is a substantial difference
626
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:20,795
of how I've managed
sicknesses to the point
627
00:31:17,291 --> 00:31:21,753
that if I didn't take it,
I don't think
628
00:31:20,795 --> 00:31:25,299
I would have been able
to to work,
629
00:31:21,753 --> 00:31:28,176
to act, to do anything.
And having it
630
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:29,261
may be like at the very least,
you know, throat felt better,
631
00:31:29,261 --> 00:31:32,140
felt like I could
communicate and do things. So
632
00:31:33,098 --> 00:31:37,228
for me lives it back and whatever
the hell you've got an equivalent
633
00:31:35,018 --> 00:31:38,980
in your neck of the woods.
I'd say,
634
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:41,231
go find whatever that is,
because there is things out
635
00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:45,319
there. There is medicine.
They would probably help out,
636
00:31:41,231 --> 00:31:48,364
um, beside that water.
But the other point is
637
00:31:45,361 --> 00:31:49,449
you were saying the shower
and washing it off.
638
00:31:49,449 --> 00:31:52,660
Mine's more of the mental
one is being sweating it out.
639
00:31:52,868 --> 00:31:55,538
Sweating it out
and that's a quite one.
640
00:31:55,538 --> 00:31:58,458
I really hot bath.
So if I'm, if I'm really sick
641
00:31:58,458 --> 00:32:00,751
having a hot, hot bath,
not shower
642
00:32:00,751 --> 00:32:05,006
but just sitting in a hot bath
and just sweating the shit
643
00:32:02,002 --> 00:32:07,759
out of myself or a sauna sauna
if I've got one at home.
644
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:12,055
So those two or and I mean I'm
not going to recommend this
645
00:32:12,055 --> 00:32:14,641
to a lot of people
that's not doctor recommended
646
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:18,644
this is not doctor
recommend that. Nor do
647
00:32:16,808 --> 00:32:20,145
I think that your local gym
will actually like you for this.
648
00:32:20,145 --> 00:32:23,732
But I will do I work out
especially where I'm kind of
649
00:32:23,732 --> 00:32:26,736
just getting over it.
And it's not when you're,
650
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:28,237
you know,
the beginning of getting sick
651
00:32:28,237 --> 00:32:29,780
with a flu or something
like that.
652
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:32,784
When you start creating
and if you train at that point,
653
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:35,327
whether it's a run or sports
or whatever,
654
00:32:35,327 --> 00:32:37,955
you're just going to get
just so much sore,
655
00:32:37,955 --> 00:32:40,208
like your body feels
absolutely broken,
656
00:32:40,208 --> 00:32:41,834
your muscles are
just not even working.
657
00:32:41,834 --> 00:32:43,419
I'm not talking about
then it's kind of once
658
00:32:43,419 --> 00:32:46,422
you go past a dip,
that big dip of being sick
659
00:32:46,506 --> 00:32:50,384
and you kind of on the way up,
I'll just I'll generally
660
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:52,135
have a training session,
not the hottest workout
661
00:32:52,135 --> 00:32:55,056
you're going to find,
but just moving.
662
00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:57,224
That really helps.
That really, really does help
663
00:32:57,224 --> 00:32:58,643
to kind of
get me back into baseline.
664
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:00,560
I don't know
if it's just purely the
665
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,314
the chemical balance in terms
of the training that helps
666
00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:05,566
or if it's the
the sweating behind it.
667
00:33:05,566 --> 00:33:08,778
But for me, the psychological
it's all sweating this out.
668
00:33:08,903 --> 00:33:12,615
I'm getting rid of it's
through my pores that that's
669
00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:15,076
probably the big one for me
psychologically. Hm. Yeah.
670
00:33:15,076 --> 00:33:19,872
So I went to to train today.
So I'm, I'm, I'm fine.
671
00:33:19,872 --> 00:33:24,210
I guess I'm operating,
but I've still got something
672
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:25,920
like, who knows how long
it'll linger around for,
673
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,883
but I can do stuff. And I went
to train today and it was kind of
674
00:33:30,883 --> 00:33:33,885
I was past
the hump and then it was still
675
00:33:34,095 --> 00:33:37,807
a 22nd handstand would,
but still kind of gassed me.
676
00:33:37,807 --> 00:33:39,767
I'd come down
and I'd be breathing heavy,
677
00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:41,560
whereas normally
I could come down from that
678
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,521
and I'd be able to
get my heart rate and breath
679
00:33:44,521 --> 00:33:46,857
back to normal really,
really quickly.
680
00:33:46,857 --> 00:33:49,359
And one of the things
I remember my dad
681
00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:51,988
telling me about is young,
and this could just be
682
00:33:51,988 --> 00:33:54,365
Australian folk wisdom
or some shit like this.
683
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:58,994
But he was saying
he would never allow me
684
00:33:56,116 --> 00:34:03,082
if I had a day off school to
then play either train during
685
00:33:58,994 --> 00:34:04,584
that week or play soccer.
That weekend.
686
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:09,005
And his justification was
excuse not to go to school.
687
00:34:09,005 --> 00:34:11,507
You're too sick to go
to the weekend and have a game.
688
00:34:11,507 --> 00:34:17,679
Yeah. And, and it wasn't kind of
a punishment thing
689
00:34:13,425 --> 00:34:20,349
to stop me from staying home.
It was more
690
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:23,769
He did that because he'd heard
or read something where,
691
00:34:23,978 --> 00:34:26,898
yeah, your heart is in kind of
like a weakened condition
692
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:30,068
and you're more likely to to
do some damage to your heart.
693
00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:35,864
Is this any basis? Have you heard
of anything like this one? No.
694
00:34:37,324 --> 00:34:39,452
I mean,
who knows about the studies?
695
00:34:39,452 --> 00:34:45,583
I could I could see it in
enough people, I reckon out
696
00:34:42,579 --> 00:34:48,920
there statistically that.
Yeah, you probably shouldn't
697
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:51,755
overexert yourself as in
get your heart rate or
698
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,340
other measures in your body.
It just stress.
699
00:34:53,340 --> 00:34:55,842
Just you shouldn't
put your body into a
700
00:34:55,842 --> 00:34:58,096
such a stressful position
which hard workout
701
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:01,807
or a hard training
session will put you
702
00:34:58,846 --> 00:35:04,976
into a stressful position
that probably make you
703
00:35:01,974 --> 00:35:06,478
feel worse or go down more.
So yeah, I can
704
00:35:04,976 --> 00:35:08,815
I can understand that.
I think for
705
00:35:06,478 --> 00:35:09,606
the general population, no,
you don't want to put yourself
706
00:35:09,606 --> 00:35:11,567
into extra
stress when your body is in a
707
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,197
state decapitated in a in a in a
in a downward spiral I guess.
708
00:35:17,197 --> 00:35:22,202
And sure, that makes sense.
Yeah, for sure. One of the things
709
00:35:20,201 --> 00:35:23,746
actually just management wise,
which I've noticed and actually
710
00:35:23,746 --> 00:35:25,789
I have to thank Tovah
for making me a better
711
00:35:25,789 --> 00:35:28,793
person is I'm actually way
less selfish
712
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:31,545
and kind of going out
of my way to protect others.
713
00:35:31,545 --> 00:35:35,590
Now compared to what I would
have done pre-COVID at the
714
00:35:35,632 --> 00:35:39,512
So I on yesterday
I was kind of seeing
715
00:35:39,512 --> 00:35:42,514
some family members
and we just had this,
716
00:35:42,514 --> 00:35:45,726
this whole structure
where everyone had this
717
00:35:46,351 --> 00:35:48,521
kind of task
to do during the day.
718
00:35:48,521 --> 00:35:50,856
And if I'd pulled out,
it would have just screwed up
719
00:35:50,856 --> 00:35:54,943
all of these other plans
and whatnot. So I was like, Well,
720
00:35:52,775 --> 00:35:58,239
I'll still go.
But I basically just wore
721
00:35:54,943 --> 00:36:00,199
a mask the entire day and,
you know, I never
722
00:35:58,405 --> 00:36:03,119
would have done that before.
It would have just
723
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:04,996
been inconceivable.
Yeah, just completely selfish
724
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:07,289
For me. It was like, Oh,
we're meeting up for dinner.
725
00:36:07,289 --> 00:36:09,666
I'm not feeling great,
but I'll still go. I want
726
00:36:09,666 --> 00:36:14,380
I want to see them
without caring, you know,
727
00:36:10,668 --> 00:36:15,672
are they going to get sick
from me wanting to see them?
728
00:36:15,672 --> 00:36:18,134
It just wouldn't
have even mattered at all.
729
00:36:18,134 --> 00:36:22,346
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm making a lot
730
00:36:19,427 --> 00:36:24,514
more decisions now where it's.
Yeah. You know what? I weren't.
731
00:36:24,514 --> 00:36:26,184
I was. I was going
to catch up with you,
732
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:29,896
and I wanted to see Vienna,
and I just went, Oh, yeah, No,
733
00:36:29,936 --> 00:36:31,688
that's.
That's just a straight up.
734
00:36:31,688 --> 00:36:34,900
No, not, not,
not going to happen. Yeah, well,
735
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:38,403
I think in a similar way and
I think Myanmar lights out,
736
00:36:38,403 --> 00:36:40,114
they would probably see it
this way too.
737
00:36:40,114 --> 00:36:43,867
That in that positive way
help out in. Oh okay.
738
00:36:43,867 --> 00:36:49,081
I guess you can
look at things as to why
739
00:36:46,077 --> 00:36:52,251
you probably shouldn't going
participate in a sport
740
00:36:49,414 --> 00:36:54,295
or participate in working out
or going to a well,
741
00:36:52,251 --> 00:36:55,588
even just going to like
even just go into work, man.
742
00:36:55,588 --> 00:36:58,757
My old work colleague
Ken was always Ken.
743
00:36:59,132 --> 00:37:01,885
He would just come in.
He was the opposite of us.
744
00:37:01,885 --> 00:37:05,056
He would just get
every little whiff of a flu.
745
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:07,557
It would catch it
and he'd catch a good
746
00:37:07,557 --> 00:37:10,143
and he would still come
into work all the time and
747
00:37:10,143 --> 00:37:13,940
just get all of us sick.
Well, now I get this
748
00:37:13,940 --> 00:37:16,983
because pre-COVID, honestly,
I was like that myself.
749
00:37:17,025 --> 00:37:21,197
And yes, like the way I work,
everyone was like, Yeah, I'm
750
00:37:18,485 --> 00:37:22,614
going to work like I did it.
And we were nice as well
751
00:37:22,614 --> 00:37:24,449
in that manner
of how to give a shit.
752
00:37:24,449 --> 00:37:26,409
If you've got a broken leg,
you're going to school,
753
00:37:26,409 --> 00:37:29,621
you know, going to work.
It doesn't matter
754
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:31,623
what sickness you got.
I think beyond COVID
755
00:37:29,621 --> 00:37:34,210
now, obviously
people are working from home
756
00:37:31,623 --> 00:37:35,503
and working different things.
In my workplace.
757
00:37:35,503 --> 00:37:37,963
They do go down the path of,
Hey, if you're sick, stay home
758
00:37:37,963 --> 00:37:41,342
and if you can't work, okay work,
work from home,
759
00:37:39,422 --> 00:37:44,219
don't bring it in.
Have worked in many workplaces
760
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:45,846
since as well that did that,
which is
761
00:37:44,219 --> 00:37:48,014
I mean, it makes sense, right?
Like it makes sense. I was
762
00:37:48,014 --> 00:37:51,936
going to say you mentioned it
to me, dude, specially.
763
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,813
And for parents out there,
I think you know
764
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:57,148
you might relate to here
as soon as having a baby
765
00:37:57,608 --> 00:38:02,570
it very much changes
your means of being clean.
766
00:38:02,570 --> 00:38:05,740
And I think your idea
of sickness because, you know,
767
00:38:05,782 --> 00:38:10,538
even before having a baby. Sure.
You know,
768
00:38:07,994 --> 00:38:12,456
I kind of cared about it. I took,
you know, the mentality of it.
769
00:38:12,456 --> 00:38:15,458
But again, I've kind of got
a good immunity.
770
00:38:15,583 --> 00:38:18,295
And that might be from
because I used to, you know,
771
00:38:18,295 --> 00:38:21,423
I don't swallow and whatever else
when I was younger
772
00:38:21,423 --> 00:38:23,425
and just got a good immunity
system right.
773
00:38:23,425 --> 00:38:26,429
And took takes a lot
for me to get sick.
774
00:38:26,594 --> 00:38:30,724
But now with the baby do you know
you think through was
775
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:31,934
oh damn you know,
at least the first six weeks
776
00:38:31,934 --> 00:38:37,648
I've got to really keep this baby
away from sickness because of
777
00:38:34,186 --> 00:38:40,358
all of these various reasons
and time it's,
778
00:38:38,315 --> 00:38:42,610
you know, you're handling poo
all the time. You know,
779
00:38:40,358 --> 00:38:45,072
you get pissed on your hands.
You're, you know, you're
780
00:38:42,610 --> 00:38:46,949
having to touch their face.
You want to make sure
781
00:38:45,072 --> 00:38:49,452
that you're getting
dirt or whatever when you're
782
00:38:46,949 --> 00:38:53,621
cleaning them up and whatnot.
So you become hyper
783
00:38:49,452 --> 00:38:56,083
aware of being quite clean,
and that is washing your hands
784
00:38:53,831 --> 00:38:59,670
a lot, making sure
you're disinfecting, you know,
785
00:38:57,626 --> 00:39:02,965
bringing in extra things.
And it's a almost mandatory way
786
00:39:03,632 --> 00:39:04,759
to ensure
that you're not selfish.
787
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:07,385
And I think kids in a way
are really great for this.
788
00:39:07,385 --> 00:39:10,389
It forces you, forces
you to not be selfish
789
00:39:10,389 --> 00:39:12,432
because you can look
after something else.
790
00:39:12,432 --> 00:39:14,934
And for a lot of people,
you know,
791
00:39:14,934 --> 00:39:17,938
you might do this when you
look out for your dog,
792
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:24,277
you look after a family member.
But it's it's quite often
793
00:39:20,065 --> 00:39:26,030
when you have a kid, a baby,
that it's the first time
794
00:39:24,277 --> 00:39:29,824
when you truly
have to look after something
795
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:33,036
quite, you know, purely
in that that thing cannot
796
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:34,538
look after itself without you.
And there's not
797
00:39:33,329 --> 00:39:35,414
a lot of things in life
where that happens.
798
00:39:35,414 --> 00:39:37,875
I think it's shopping
two years ago. Okay, cool.
799
00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:41,545
There's a level of healthiness
that I need to now consider
800
00:39:41,545 --> 00:39:44,882
and that is of
of being clean, of considering
801
00:39:42,505 --> 00:39:48,344
where I'm going of.
Yeah, it's very, very much a
802
00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:50,054
conversation that had me upon
in the last couple of days of,
803
00:39:50,054 --> 00:39:52,306
oh, we need to go and do this.
We need to go to the shopping
804
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:55,434
center.
It's, oh, hey, we're going
805
00:39:52,306 --> 00:39:57,103
to let's go to this cafe.
But we need to be able
806
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:58,561
to sit outside
so we're not inside in amongst,
807
00:39:58,561 --> 00:40:01,981
like all these people.
That is crowded because
808
00:39:59,813 --> 00:40:05,860
we don't want to expose.
I just yet to hear
809
00:40:01,981 --> 00:40:07,862
the general blades of life
that might be around.
810
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:10,115
So they'll come.
And for me, you know,
811
00:40:07,862 --> 00:40:11,659
I think about it as a parent
and even myself,
812
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:14,954
I kind of want expose
kids and myself to the general
813
00:40:15,996 --> 00:40:19,250
sickness of life, because
the more
814
00:40:18,039 --> 00:40:21,585
you kind of exposed to it,
the more you can actually
815
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:23,336
build up a tolerance to it.
And you're going to be kind
816
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:24,755
of, okay, yeah,
you know, nothing worse.
817
00:40:24,755 --> 00:40:26,172
And like, you know,
for yourself, boy, in a
818
00:40:26,172 --> 00:40:29,175
anybody sort of thing, boy,
a bubble. And then you come out
819
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:32,137
and you die
because you get, you know,
820
00:40:29,175 --> 00:40:34,722
you get pricked by skin.
I mean, it's pretty deadly.
821
00:40:34,722 --> 00:40:36,599
But you know, you don't
want something like that.
822
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:38,561
But you you don't want
the other extreme where you're
823
00:40:38,561 --> 00:40:41,771
essentially bombarding
someone with, you know,
824
00:40:40,478 --> 00:40:43,356
I'm not telling you to go
stand next to the
825
00:40:43,356 --> 00:40:46,943
nuclear reactor foot in the
elephant foot in Chernobyl to see
826
00:40:46,943 --> 00:40:49,737
just so you can get
a little bit of uranium into,
827
00:40:48,070 --> 00:40:50,822
you know, you know,
somewhere in the middle
828
00:40:50,822 --> 00:40:55,161
where you can kind of understand
how much sickness
829
00:40:52,992 --> 00:40:56,161
can you tolerate
as well at the state
830
00:40:56,161 --> 00:40:59,164
that you're in between a baby
with very low immunity.
831
00:40:59,373 --> 00:41:01,791
So you as a human being,
you know, having
832
00:41:01,791 --> 00:41:04,378
different types of immunity
depending on where you are in
833
00:41:04,378 --> 00:41:05,588
and your training
and your sleeping,
834
00:41:05,588 --> 00:41:08,173
eating and all that
sort of stuff, for sure.
835
00:41:08,173 --> 00:41:12,552
Let's jump onto the summary, man.
So for me, I was just going, man,
836
00:41:12,552 --> 00:41:16,681
probably the worst part of it.
I think the thing
837
00:41:14,137 --> 00:41:20,311
that is really killer for me
is just the insomnia,
838
00:41:16,681 --> 00:41:23,230
the not being able to sleep.
The days don't hurt me as much.
839
00:41:23,230 --> 00:41:26,233
This kind of those endless
nights where you're just
840
00:41:26,233 --> 00:41:32,739
tossing and turning and
I don't know about
841
00:41:29,695 --> 00:41:34,115
you, but I can kind of if it
if it's 3 a.m., I'm
842
00:41:34,115 --> 00:41:37,702
not going to get up to go
do something on the laptop.
843
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:42,875
Maybe I'll read.
But that's that's probably
844
00:41:39,454 --> 00:41:44,793
about the most intense activity,
the thing that I'll do.
845
00:41:44,793 --> 00:41:46,461
And so I usually just
kind of stick
846
00:41:46,461 --> 00:41:50,132
the stick through it and,
you know, maybe that's something
847
00:41:48,547 --> 00:41:51,842
I need to change and experiment
with some other stuff.
848
00:41:51,842 --> 00:41:55,846
But definitely
the kind of insomnia is
849
00:41:52,842 --> 00:42:01,684
a thing that scares me up.
And to be honest men, I think you
850
00:41:58,766 --> 00:42:05,648
you had a good point about the
having something forcing you
851
00:42:01,684 --> 00:42:09,150
to to look after yourself
and to to kind of do better
852
00:42:05,648 --> 00:42:14,907
or you have to do it.
So, you know, I had no real
853
00:42:09,150 --> 00:42:18,494
priorities do on that Sunday,
especially on that Sunday
854
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:22,206
that needed doing immediately.
Everything could could be
855
00:42:20,286 --> 00:42:25,960
pushed off
the thankfully, I'd managed
856
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:28,963
to record on Saturday
the episode that I was going
857
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:33,550
to do all the editing and stuff,
you know, I just went out of
858
00:42:31,422 --> 00:42:35,594
do that later.
And so I did on Monday.
859
00:42:35,594 --> 00:42:38,347
I think if I had maybe,
you know, a baby girl
860
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:42,226
who was just kind of like,
Oh, you know, she needs food.
861
00:42:42,226 --> 00:42:46,105
Even though I don't feel like
going outside. And I well,
862
00:42:46,105 --> 00:42:48,606
I've had to go outside and get
some bloody food, you know.
863
00:42:48,606 --> 00:42:53,737
So I think there is something
about having something to
864
00:42:50,442 --> 00:42:57,657
force your hand that can work.
And yep, just in my opinion,
865
00:42:54,112 --> 00:42:59,952
the placebo effects probably
have more of an impact than
866
00:42:59,952 --> 00:43:03,414
actual scientific data
and preventative steps.
867
00:43:03,414 --> 00:43:06,958
So, I mean, I've,
I've tried in the past,
868
00:43:06,958 --> 00:43:10,086
you know, eating more oranges,
having more vitamin C,
869
00:43:10,963 --> 00:43:14,592
most of the other stuff
I do. Okay. You know, the sleep,
870
00:43:12,755 --> 00:43:17,719
the keeping myself
active, reduce the anxiety and
871
00:43:14,592 --> 00:43:21,849
stress and stuff like that.
But yeah,
872
00:43:18,804 --> 00:43:24,851
honestly, I think it's more
just just probably even believing
873
00:43:24,851 --> 00:43:26,644
that I won't get sick,
you know, saying
874
00:43:26,644 --> 00:43:31,692
I'm not the type of person
who get sick is probably stronger
875
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:33,693
than a lot of the
the things you might take.
876
00:43:33,693 --> 00:43:36,280
Yeah. Look, my summary around
this is a couple of things.
877
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,032
One, societal health
versus personalized
878
00:43:39,032 --> 00:43:43,621
health is very different.
And so the general means
879
00:43:40,117 --> 00:43:48,041
of what society should do
based on a pandemic issue,
880
00:43:43,621 --> 00:43:51,628
flu sickness, whatever
can be, doesn't have to be,
881
00:43:48,626 --> 00:43:53,130
but usually is different
to the personal health
882
00:43:51,628 --> 00:43:55,965
that you might take.
So, you know, we gave you
883
00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:58,594
examples about leadership.
And you know, for us,
884
00:43:55,965 --> 00:43:59,802
paracetamol doesn't work,
doesn't mean
885
00:43:58,594 --> 00:44:01,929
that it won't work for you.
And I think this is very much
886
00:43:59,802 --> 00:44:02,889
trial and error.
I just like there isn't
887
00:44:02,889 --> 00:44:05,893
a variety of things in life
that you have to kind of know
888
00:44:05,934 --> 00:44:08,061
when do you get shitty?
Is it after six out of ten?
889
00:44:08,061 --> 00:44:10,606
Are you kind of like kind of
between three out of ten
890
00:44:08,978 --> 00:44:12,733
and eight out of ten? You know,
you're a big crybaby, but you can
891
00:44:12,733 --> 00:44:16,027
kind of make it work after that.
You have to know
892
00:44:14,443 --> 00:44:18,614
that in yourself. And again,
with a lot of things in life,
893
00:44:18,614 --> 00:44:21,492
we can tell you you can go on
research just till you die,
894
00:44:21,492 --> 00:44:24,119
but until you go through it
and kind of experience it
895
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:26,371
and know what it is
that you should do,
896
00:44:26,371 --> 00:44:28,039
you're not going to know
it's personal. And that's
897
00:44:28,039 --> 00:44:30,166
why it's the personal health
is quite important.
898
00:44:30,166 --> 00:44:34,797
So go figure that out.
The the other point as well,
899
00:44:31,793 --> 00:44:36,882
I think is, you know,
try to prevent
900
00:44:34,963 --> 00:44:37,800
as much as possible
the sickness, you know,
901
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,760
being away from the sickness
where it's going to be.
902
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,719
But if you can't, then manages
the best possible.
903
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,431
Right, it's going to be
the next best step around it.
904
00:44:45,724 --> 00:44:49,686
And the the I think
the discipline as well.
905
00:44:49,686 --> 00:44:52,815
And we talk about it
sometimes with training
906
00:44:52,815 --> 00:44:56,610
around, hey,
don't overwork yourself in the
907
00:44:53,690 --> 00:44:57,820
training perspective, right?
Because if you do overtraining,
908
00:44:57,820 --> 00:44:59,862
you're going to
get into injuries and whatever
909
00:44:59,862 --> 00:45:04,784
same thing of applies
in a more general health
910
00:45:01,447 --> 00:45:07,954
principle here, which is, hey,
sickness in general,
911
00:45:05,411 --> 00:45:10,498
you're going to get it more
if you're more run down
912
00:45:07,954 --> 00:45:14,503
your immunities.
And that's usually a
913
00:45:10,498 --> 00:45:17,715
a cause of it to stressed out
your heart rate variability,
914
00:45:14,711 --> 00:45:19,925
slow your sleep metrics,
not good. All of those things
915
00:45:18,465 --> 00:45:21,342
which look you can either
track them or not track them.
916
00:45:21,342 --> 00:45:23,637
But just in general,
if you're running a revenue
917
00:45:23,637 --> 00:45:29,476
engine at 110%, 8000 PM
every single day,
918
00:45:26,681 --> 00:45:31,478
don't be surprised.
Are you going to get sick
919
00:45:29,476 --> 00:45:33,856
all the time too?
So I think it's also
920
00:45:31,478 --> 00:45:36,858
the discipline of knowing,
hey, if you don't want to be
921
00:45:33,856 --> 00:45:40,403
as sick as often,
you should also be either
922
00:45:37,067 --> 00:45:44,240
including pauses
and availability for your body
923
00:45:40,403 --> 00:45:46,784
to recover and get in your
beat a better immunity level
924
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:49,663
or health level,
or just don't run
925
00:45:46,784 --> 00:45:52,958
as hot all the time.
And I think both of us tend
926
00:45:49,663 --> 00:45:54,501
to do that quite well here.
The mere mortals, you know.
927
00:45:54,501 --> 00:45:55,878
Madeline Kahn
We might talk about the things
928
00:45:55,878 --> 00:45:57,713
we're
doing in the month goals and
929
00:45:58,838 --> 00:46:00,423
start to get better.
You know, case in point,
930
00:46:00,423 --> 00:46:02,967
I put out a little video about me
thinking about
931
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:05,429
doing a fitness app
and all this sort of stuff,
932
00:46:02,967 --> 00:46:06,972
and you rightly commented,
Go, baby, go with
933
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:09,099
that was going on.
And I made also the the
934
00:46:09,099 --> 00:46:11,143
the executive decision
that has been pursued
935
00:46:11,143 --> 00:46:14,353
that and I'm going to down
another path
936
00:46:11,934 --> 00:46:16,063
which is much easier. But again,
it's just picking your battles,
937
00:46:16,063 --> 00:46:21,360
especially as you get on to know
what you should be prioritizing
938
00:46:19,318 --> 00:46:23,197
from an energy perspective.
As much as you want to do
939
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,739
everything, the more you do,
the more you're having,
940
00:46:24,739 --> 00:46:26,282
the more you're having
the lawyer immunity,
941
00:46:26,282 --> 00:46:27,742
the more likelihood
you're going to get sick.
942
00:46:27,742 --> 00:46:32,623
And then, you know,
so it's it's a risk valley
943
00:46:29,994 --> 00:46:36,083
perspective as well.
So yeah, my summary don't
944
00:46:32,623 --> 00:46:37,753
override that engineer model
that's out there make sure you're
945
00:46:37,753 --> 00:46:40,047
keeping yourself
a little bit in the tank.
946
00:46:40,047 --> 00:46:42,632
So if something comes along,
you can kind of deal with it.
947
00:46:42,632 --> 00:46:46,385
It doesn't knock you out for
months on end
948
00:46:44,300 --> 00:46:48,012
because you're sick. Yeah.
And then you're so you,
949
00:46:48,012 --> 00:46:49,764
you kind of super screwed
because you don't
950
00:46:49,764 --> 00:46:53,434
have the luxury of of kind
of moping for a day like I did
951
00:46:53,434 --> 00:46:58,690
and working out at the ocean.
I've got ten things to do now.
952
00:46:58,690 --> 00:47:03,487
Yeah, no, I know. But also in the
in the old days I've seen people
953
00:47:01,068 --> 00:47:05,447
who gotten sick and, you know,
this is not
954
00:47:03,487 --> 00:47:07,114
if some terrible sickness
like a cancer or something worse.
955
00:47:07,114 --> 00:47:08,909
It's, you know,
it's a really bad flu,
956
00:47:08,909 --> 00:47:11,619
but they weren't in the state
that they could have
957
00:47:11,619 --> 00:47:14,831
really optimally taking it on
and going to toss it away.
958
00:47:14,831 --> 00:47:17,376
They were overworked and,
you know,
959
00:47:17,376 --> 00:47:19,670
they had a multiple thing
that they were looking after
960
00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:22,463
and yet they were sick
for ages, like months.
961
00:47:22,463 --> 00:47:24,465
And then it took them out.
They couldn't do anything
962
00:47:24,465 --> 00:47:27,427
and they took them a long time
to recover. You know,
963
00:47:27,427 --> 00:47:29,847
it's kind of the balance
between do you
964
00:47:29,847 --> 00:47:35,143
you know, if in your mindset,
do you run a 110% and then expect
965
00:47:32,891 --> 00:47:37,521
that twice in a year,
you have to be out for a month
966
00:47:35,143 --> 00:47:40,983
because you going to be sick
or do you run at 80% and
967
00:47:37,521 --> 00:47:42,900
be okay with being sick for
maybe only for a week or two?
968
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:44,402
You kind of have to balance it
up and go,
969
00:47:44,402 --> 00:47:47,197
you know, sometimes it is
going to be better one way,
970
00:47:45,403 --> 00:47:49,365
sometimes going to be better.
The other people
971
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:50,992
have to make that choice
and you probably have
972
00:47:49,365 --> 00:47:52,536
to watch out as well
because you hear about
973
00:47:52,536 --> 00:47:55,956
on the opposite end of the
spectrum, you know, loved one
974
00:47:57,164 --> 00:47:59,835
life partner passes
away for someone who's elderly
975
00:47:59,835 --> 00:48:03,838
and then they kind of like
just get sick and die for
976
00:48:00,793 --> 00:48:06,717
for no real reason.
I there is a bit of truth
977
00:48:04,422 --> 00:48:11,054
into that. If you're
if you've got nothing going on
978
00:48:08,050 --> 00:48:12,556
during your days as well,
you're kind of moping around.
979
00:48:12,556 --> 00:48:15,766
You know,
you got five operating at 5%.
980
00:48:15,809 --> 00:48:20,646
You got to you got to like walk
the dog once every couple of days
981
00:48:18,144 --> 00:48:23,233
or something.
I think that's prime
982
00:48:20,646 --> 00:48:25,318
ground as well for just
just stuff intruding
983
00:48:23,233 --> 00:48:29,947
upon your life And like,
sickness is kind of like, oh,
984
00:48:25,318 --> 00:48:32,826
yeah, yeah, we go to do it. Well,
I think there's probably
985
00:48:30,907 --> 00:48:35,579
there's, there's, there's
definitely a sweet spot
986
00:48:32,826 --> 00:48:37,831
in not being low enough
where something like
987
00:48:35,579 --> 00:48:40,125
this is just going to
completely destroy you because
988
00:48:37,831 --> 00:48:43,545
you have nothing else going.
You have no reason to live
989
00:48:40,125 --> 00:48:44,630
almost to going to hot
and then just getting knocked.
990
00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:46,505
Knock for six
when something comes along.
991
00:48:46,505 --> 00:48:50,052
Hmm. Yeah. Nice. Mean.
Do you need a jump off now?
992
00:48:50,052 --> 00:48:51,929
I think we can. I think we can
do the bootstrap launch.
993
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:57,266
All right, so that's beautiful.
Okay, so the Boost Gram lounge.
994
00:48:57,643 --> 00:49:00,646
This is excellent,
because everything
995
00:49:00,686 --> 00:49:03,898
I kind of double checked,
and I'm pretty sure
996
00:49:02,146 --> 00:49:05,983
I've got everything in here.
So much noise.
997
00:49:05,983 --> 00:49:08,945
So we're going to be jumping
from the first one
998
00:49:09,403 --> 00:49:12,824
over here, which is McIntosh
on who sent us on the 20th.
999
00:49:12,824 --> 00:49:15,202
He sent this from Fountain
2100 sets.
1000
00:49:15,202 --> 00:49:18,996
This is great interview at Khan
to my favorite podcast
1001
00:49:17,411 --> 00:49:20,916
is chatting
about all kinds of interesting
1002
00:49:18,996 --> 00:49:23,751
topics.
Exactly what I would expect
1003
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:25,045
if I could interject.
There are reasons to have an open
1004
00:49:25,045 --> 00:49:27,338
ledger, the blockchain
and what are privacy?
1005
00:49:27,338 --> 00:49:31,510
Bitcoin Privacy for individuals
certainly isn't perfect,
1006
00:49:29,215 --> 00:49:33,052
but it's getting there.
We'll probably talk
1007
00:49:31,510 --> 00:49:34,972
about the transparent
privacy topic
1008
00:49:33,052 --> 00:49:37,056
very soon on my podcast.
Good Podcasting Macintosh.
1009
00:49:37,056 --> 00:49:41,228
So that was for
the episode of Dave
1010
00:49:38,016 --> 00:49:43,813
where I was making fun of
Bitcoin people
1011
00:49:42,019 --> 00:49:46,315
who go to a meet up
and they're like
1012
00:49:43,813 --> 00:49:49,318
super interested in privacy.
And it's just so funny
1013
00:49:46,315 --> 00:49:50,737
because they're into
the open ledger,
1014
00:49:51,822 --> 00:49:54,824
which is but Bitcoin, which
is the whole point of it,
1015
00:49:54,907 --> 00:49:59,204
is that there's no privacy
and that you can't change things
1016
00:49:56,659 --> 00:50:01,539
and it's immutable.
Yeah, it's a funny woman.
1017
00:50:01,539 --> 00:50:05,043
It's a shame. I miss the Bitcoin
pizza day on Monday
1018
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:08,963
because there are,
there are funny things
1019
00:50:07,128 --> 00:50:11,257
you make from people
when you go to these events
1020
00:50:08,963 --> 00:50:15,971
and whatnot. Official Yeah, yeah.
Very, very interesting
1021
00:50:13,802 --> 00:50:19,474
with that one.
We have another one here,
1022
00:50:15,971 --> 00:50:24,103
which was from Pete.
I actually I'll get a Chris's
1023
00:50:20,809 --> 00:50:27,440
first so Chris, Chris last.
So this is Chris
1024
00:50:24,103 --> 00:50:28,567
from Jupiter Broadcasting.
The latest
1025
00:50:28,567 --> 00:50:32,862
is for a Linux action show,
which was one of his first shows.
1026
00:50:32,862 --> 00:50:36,490
I should be chatting with him
in 36 hours roughly.
1027
00:50:36,782 --> 00:50:44,458
Oh, came for that.
He sent in a big one, 77,770 700.
1028
00:50:44,791 --> 00:50:48,878
I know. So I know why that's
called a stripe a boost.
1029
00:50:48,878 --> 00:50:51,882
And I always thought
that was stripe as in
1030
00:50:52,132 --> 00:50:58,597
I pr know it's stripe
y p which were a kind of
1031
00:50:59,222 --> 00:51:02,893
Christian rock band,
one of the Christian metal,
1032
00:51:03,101 --> 00:51:07,731
perhaps bent.
And instead of using the 666
1033
00:51:08,856 --> 00:51:11,860
mark of the beast
kind of numerals as,
1034
00:51:11,860 --> 00:51:14,112
as they're kind of worshiping
of Satan or things.
1035
00:51:14,112 --> 00:51:18,157
So Christian they,
they transformed it into 777.
1036
00:51:18,282 --> 00:51:22,119
And so that is a stripe,
a boost for in recognition
1037
00:51:22,119 --> 00:51:25,081
of them.
A little bit early for us,
1038
00:51:22,871 --> 00:51:27,501
I'm sure.
One, you've never heard of
1039
00:51:25,081 --> 00:51:28,876
Stripe or nine. I have.
I heard the name,
1040
00:51:28,876 --> 00:51:32,922
but most of the song
seems to be from 1986.
1041
00:51:33,632 --> 00:51:36,009
Yeah, that's
six years before we've gone.
1042
00:51:36,009 --> 00:51:43,016
So a little bit before our time.
And anyway, Chris
1043
00:51:38,677 --> 00:51:45,101
sits in that big row of seven,
so he says, Felt like
1044
00:51:43,016 --> 00:51:47,896
I needed to hear this episode.
Thank you. And so I was living
1045
00:51:45,811 --> 00:51:50,106
in the present moment.
The utility of meditation, one
1046
00:51:50,106 --> 00:51:54,902
that came out just before this
ironic, ironic that I do one
1047
00:51:51,817 --> 00:51:58,114
about living in the moment,
and then the next thing I do
1048
00:51:54,902 --> 00:51:59,907
is get sick and it's like,
I don't want to live
1049
00:51:58,364 --> 00:52:01,326
in this moment. I want
anything but this moment.
1050
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:06,998
Oh, lordy.
So but thank you, Chris, so,
1051
00:52:05,038 --> 00:52:11,293
so much. I appreciate it.
We have one here from Pete
1052
00:52:07,833 --> 00:52:13,420
on the Web today,
from Peter today. We do. We do.
1053
00:52:13,420 --> 00:52:20,469
So the first one here
is 38,383. 83.
1054
00:52:20,887 --> 00:52:24,974
He says congratulations, one,
I'll let you did this one and
1055
00:52:22,514 --> 00:52:27,184
one because that's awesome.
As adjusted, you got this one.
1056
00:52:24,974 --> 00:52:27,936
Congratulations. One.
Thank you very much.
1057
00:52:27,936 --> 00:52:29,771
I think I will be on team
not poop.
1058
00:52:29,771 --> 00:52:33,275
Tracking of the day comes.
I mean my mother never tracked
1059
00:52:31,021 --> 00:52:36,027
poop and I turned out fine. Well,
mostly fine. So arguable.
1060
00:52:36,027 --> 00:52:39,072
Very much so.
Peter, thank you very much
1061
00:52:37,362 --> 00:52:42,074
for that message.
And to that being sent
1062
00:52:39,072 --> 00:52:46,454
through Fountain as well,
very much like today, we
1063
00:52:42,742 --> 00:52:49,373
probably started from today.
It's less
1064
00:52:47,371 --> 00:52:51,960
tracking of the of the poos
and the ways
1065
00:52:49,373 --> 00:52:53,961
it was less of a cave factor.
I guess it's not to become
1066
00:52:52,501 --> 00:52:55,630
an average thing and we're more
looking at the averages.
1067
00:52:55,630 --> 00:52:58,757
But look, yeah, honestly,
we got a lot more and more.
1068
00:52:58,757 --> 00:53:00,635
I'm kind of like, Oh,
did you really have to do it?
1069
00:53:00,635 --> 00:53:03,722
Probably. Probably not really.
But yeah, I'm all statistics.
1070
00:53:03,722 --> 00:53:06,016
But Pete, I think very much
that big, big boost
1071
00:53:06,016 --> 00:53:09,978
they it's a big baby boost
so the 3838 is the
1072
00:53:10,269 --> 00:53:14,065
the baby the better baby
that was said yesterday
1073
00:53:11,605 --> 00:53:17,068
so just last week so perfect
timing for this to big babies
1074
00:53:17,068 --> 00:53:19,237
and we get a big baby
boost coming in.
1075
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:21,530
Thank you very much.
And then we've got
1076
00:53:19,905 --> 00:53:22,990
another baby boost
from the small baby. All right.
1077
00:53:22,990 --> 00:53:25,202
So the first one was for me,
this one's for you,
1078
00:53:25,202 --> 00:53:30,164
a lesser baby.
So this was a 3938 SATs
1079
00:53:26,119 --> 00:53:31,625
and using fountain by Peter
is today 233.
1080
00:53:31,625 --> 00:53:35,253
He says even though he turned
out to be a huge ends justify
1081
00:53:35,253 --> 00:53:38,632
the means TD's
patient You know what TD's
1082
00:53:39,965 --> 00:53:45,639
Trump derangement syndrome
and it's 100% now same powers.
1083
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:48,891
His book Waking Up Reality
barely turned me
1084
00:53:47,181 --> 00:53:50,976
into mindful meditation.
Mere models about the audiobook
1085
00:53:49,893 --> 00:53:52,436
and ended up
transcribing the bulk of it
1086
00:53:50,976 --> 00:53:56,690
by hand. Also very meditative,
meditative theme. I find it
1087
00:53:54,731 --> 00:53:59,568
extremely helpful in life, notes
the 388 SATs using fountain.
1088
00:53:59,568 --> 00:54:03,155
Yeah, waking up is that
that book is what kind of.
1089
00:54:03,489 --> 00:54:07,117
Mm goodness. I can. Yeah. Yeah.
Kind of convinced me.
1090
00:54:07,117 --> 00:54:09,329
I was always before a bit
skeptical
1091
00:54:09,329 --> 00:54:12,331
of meditation and whatnot,
but I think
1092
00:54:12,998 --> 00:54:15,460
listening to him and reading
the book also helped.
1093
00:54:15,460 --> 00:54:21,465
But yeah, he was Sam Harris's
great. Just just not
1094
00:54:19,005 --> 00:54:24,135
when it comes to politics.
This is awful. It's
1095
00:54:21,465 --> 00:54:26,887
I can't listen to.
This is terrible.
1096
00:54:26,887 --> 00:54:29,516
Yeah, I don't enjoy that.
He's going down the path
1097
00:54:28,347 --> 00:54:31,893
that he is
now purely for the fact
1098
00:54:29,516 --> 00:54:33,353
that he was such a great
individual to listen to,
1099
00:54:33,353 --> 00:54:36,106
you know, like he was able
to present things so well,
1100
00:54:36,106 --> 00:54:38,775
articulate himself,
not you know, it's not everything
1101
00:54:37,523 --> 00:54:40,068
that I listen to him.
But the predominant amount of
1102
00:54:40,068 --> 00:54:42,445
things was like,
wow, this dude is
1103
00:54:42,445 --> 00:54:44,530
incredibly intelligent.
Not that he's not already,
1104
00:54:44,530 --> 00:54:46,949
but not that
he can continue to not be.
1105
00:54:46,949 --> 00:54:48,867
But it's
just a lot of other things
1106
00:54:48,867 --> 00:54:50,619
which now into play
into his conversations
1107
00:54:50,619 --> 00:54:51,704
that I'm like,
Oh, did you really have
1108
00:54:51,704 --> 00:54:54,623
to go down this path?
They are fallen off the radar
1109
00:54:54,623 --> 00:54:58,210
for for a couple of years,
to be honest. As I looked into
1110
00:54:57,001 --> 00:55:00,130
some of his things,
especially the summaries
1111
00:54:58,210 --> 00:55:03,007
of all the stuff
which I've been really
1112
00:55:00,130 --> 00:55:04,592
enjoying, So I'm okay with it.
I think that's all the comes
1113
00:55:03,007 --> 00:55:08,012
as well on this. All the others,
it is those of the main ones.
1114
00:55:08,262 --> 00:55:11,766
What I can give is just
a couple little extra tidbits.
1115
00:55:12,099 --> 00:55:16,061
We have now claimed the other
show. So the models on on
1116
00:55:17,105 --> 00:55:19,606
pot fans as well Sam's working
hot away at that.
1117
00:55:19,606 --> 00:55:22,402
Some pretty cool stuff coming
I can't share.
1118
00:55:22,402 --> 00:55:25,362
All of it is kind of fun
being behind the scenes and
1119
00:55:25,362 --> 00:55:27,489
I can share it with you.
Want to memorialize at home?
1120
00:55:27,489 --> 00:55:33,038
You have to wait if the light.
But yeah, that's that
1121
00:55:30,034 --> 00:55:35,914
that's going to be a really
useful for
1122
00:55:33,579 --> 00:55:38,918
for people who use the desktop
and it's going to come
1123
00:55:35,914 --> 00:55:40,878
as an app as well
It's going to be pretty,
1124
00:55:39,210 --> 00:55:42,755
pretty damn good.
He's got some cool
1125
00:55:40,878 --> 00:55:45,132
features in there.
A big shout out to this person.
1126
00:55:45,132 --> 00:55:49,512
We were meant to do this
a while ago,
1127
00:55:45,967 --> 00:55:52,891
but I, I forgot and I was
randomly going through iTunes
1128
00:55:49,846 --> 00:55:54,934
and I found a review
that someone had left for us.
1129
00:55:54,934 --> 00:55:59,438
Oh eight The January 2023.
So good.
1130
00:55:59,438 --> 00:56:05,487
What, four and a half months?
Yep. And he says five gave us
1131
00:56:05,487 --> 00:56:08,489
five stars
as my name is James Drum.
1132
00:56:08,530 --> 00:56:10,699
And he says, Great
to listen to the lads
1133
00:56:10,699 --> 00:56:14,286
having a good yarn on the goal
setting. Always an important way
1134
00:56:12,369 --> 00:56:17,164
to keep focus. I like that
they do this as a periodic review
1135
00:56:17,164 --> 00:56:22,503
to hold each other accountable.
So once again, the Boost
1136
00:56:18,958 --> 00:56:24,755
Gram lounge, I mean that's
not a boost to Gram, but
1137
00:56:24,755 --> 00:56:27,759
sending in a review like that,
it's it's nice.
1138
00:56:27,759 --> 00:56:30,969
I feel it when I see it.
I'll certainly read it out
1139
00:56:29,094 --> 00:56:33,139
and say
thank you James from the doing
1140
00:56:30,969 --> 00:56:36,476
that. The problem with reviews
though for for anyone
1141
00:56:34,724 --> 00:56:38,644
who doesn't know this is
they don't actually help
1142
00:56:36,476 --> 00:56:41,106
the SRI visibility it doesn't
get you more subscribers
1143
00:56:41,106 --> 00:56:45,275
or listeners or more promotions
or anything like that
1144
00:56:42,481 --> 00:56:48,612
unless you get
a kind of strategic certain
1145
00:56:45,275 --> 00:56:53,867
bulk of people all reviewing
in a certain time period like
1146
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:57,914
within a week or two weeks,
maybe the reviews do nothing
1147
00:56:53,867 --> 00:57:00,875
other than social credit.
So awesome social credit.
1148
00:56:57,914 --> 00:57:03,001
Thank you James, for that.
But yeah, just for anyone
1149
00:57:03,001 --> 00:57:05,630
they at home and feel like,
oh, just leave a review.
1150
00:57:05,630 --> 00:57:08,425
It's not as powerful
is as you might think it is.
1151
00:57:08,425 --> 00:57:10,260
Yeah, I was going to say,
is it as powerful
1152
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:12,177
as something through a boost
came to the shrine
1153
00:57:12,177 --> 00:57:14,139
that was something
a bit more powerful.
1154
00:57:14,139 --> 00:57:18,684
Now I can tell you
this hundred percent. Now, look,
1155
00:57:16,974 --> 00:57:22,146
Chris sent in a massive
baller boost,
1156
00:57:18,684 --> 00:57:24,815
but that boost study sent in,
I think it was 222,000.
1157
00:57:24,815 --> 00:57:30,112
Yeah, massive road dunks
a month ago
1158
00:57:27,068 --> 00:57:32,865
that increased visibility
for this show way
1159
00:57:30,112 --> 00:57:36,202
more than basically
anybody we've seen any
1160
00:57:32,865 --> 00:57:39,831
any review, any social posting
I've done any like collabs
1161
00:57:36,202 --> 00:57:42,833
or anything like that.
Just, just that one thing. Yeah.
1162
00:57:42,833 --> 00:57:46,920
Really really help the
so massive thanks to Chris
1163
00:57:44,085 --> 00:57:49,923
for that and also
just an encouragement
1164
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:52,177
for those at home,
other other little bits
1165
00:57:50,007 --> 00:57:55,889
and pieces. This kind of turning
into the housekeeping
1166
00:57:52,885 --> 00:57:56,889
now I guess as well is
the value for value show.
1167
00:57:56,889 --> 00:58:01,728
I have moved onto Blue Barry now,
so I have kind of started
1168
00:57:58,724 --> 00:58:05,106
put some things in action
and that I will be going
1169
00:58:02,144 --> 00:58:07,192
live with that.
I'm probably thinking
1170
00:58:05,106 --> 00:58:08,860
about two or three weeks time.
So it wasn't this month
1171
00:58:07,192 --> 00:58:11,862
as I promised.
Okay, I'll be excited
1172
00:58:08,860 --> 00:58:15,282
that that'll be soon.
Potentially even the book
1173
00:58:13,030 --> 00:58:18,744
reviews in the future.
I know I said that a while ago,
1174
00:58:17,117 --> 00:58:20,914
but I've I've kind of
come to the point
1175
00:58:18,744 --> 00:58:23,708
now where it's like,
I think it's better to create
1176
00:58:23,708 --> 00:58:27,295
better functionalities
kind of going forward
1177
00:58:24,958 --> 00:58:29,047
rather than trying to preserve
some of the stuff
1178
00:58:27,295 --> 00:58:30,965
that we had in the past.
I think that's just me,
1179
00:58:30,965 --> 00:58:34,635
you know, being finicky and,
going like all this time,
1180
00:58:34,635 --> 00:58:39,806
all this stuff broken,
but that's it. Sometimes
1181
00:58:38,472 --> 00:58:45,480
that happens and whatnot
and yeah, I think those are up
1182
00:58:42,476 --> 00:58:48,858
and just the website
with slightly fixed up the
1183
00:58:49,567 --> 00:58:51,277
supporter page
which I left broken
1184
00:58:51,277 --> 00:58:54,280
for a while, but thank you
for calling me that one. And
1185
00:58:55,572 --> 00:58:57,784
I got got onto that
and made it a little bit
1186
00:58:57,784 --> 00:59:02,789
better than than it used to be.
And yeah, more functionality
1187
00:58:59,284 --> 00:59:04,998
coming to the website soon.
That's high. My priority list.
1188
00:59:04,998 --> 00:59:08,585
Good good
the the call that I'll make
1189
00:59:06,125 --> 00:59:09,545
you as well as as
I was mentioning about
1190
00:59:09,545 --> 00:59:12,548
the fitness thing
and as you know I called out
1191
00:59:12,882 --> 00:59:15,009
a ago that a website called
push jerk
1192
00:59:15,009 --> 00:59:17,052
that did like a daily training
and I was like,
1193
00:59:17,052 --> 00:59:23,476
yeah, outside. That's awesome.
I've been I just posting those
1194
00:59:21,014 --> 00:59:25,353
and those were
those shorts were kind
1195
00:59:23,476 --> 00:59:26,228
of kicking off a little bit.
I saw them, I saw them.
1196
00:59:26,228 --> 00:59:30,023
So in any case, I'm basically
just for people listening in.
1197
00:59:30,023 --> 00:59:32,110
Now, a little tidbit,
just basically when we
1198
00:59:32,110 --> 00:59:35,195
are trying to film immortals
and just purely of
1199
00:59:35,195 --> 00:59:37,282
my own training, I just wanted
to see whether there was
1200
00:59:38,407 --> 00:59:40,952
much attraction or if anyone
actually cared about it.
1201
00:59:40,952 --> 00:59:42,536
It's kind of similar
to the fact that you
1202
00:59:42,536 --> 00:59:46,331
you look at doing
the let me do monthly
1203
00:59:43,329 --> 00:59:49,001
goals of your fitness
training and how it's going.
1204
00:59:49,001 --> 00:59:51,045
I'm basically
just going to be trying
1205
00:59:51,045 --> 00:59:54,298
to hold it helps me
because in in the posting
1206
00:59:54,298 --> 00:59:55,465
on there, it's easy
for me to actually
1207
00:59:55,465 --> 00:59:58,052
look at them when I'm training
and like I call this COC
1208
00:59:58,052 --> 01:00:01,764
rather than Excel spreadsheet
and I can go into it
1209
00:59:59,304 --> 01:00:03,099
probably in detail later,
but I'm going to be try, I'm
1210
01:00:03,099 --> 01:00:05,018
putting them there
and then if anyone wants
1211
01:00:03,682 --> 01:00:06,811
to consume them,
go do that rather than me.
1212
01:00:06,811 --> 01:00:09,606
Creating well,
creating, leveraging an app
1213
01:00:09,606 --> 01:00:12,275
and doing all these things
and trying to get you to go
1214
01:00:10,481 --> 01:00:13,900
and follow it and charge for it
or something like that.
1215
01:00:13,900 --> 01:00:17,155
I'm like, Yeah, I'll do that.
And it is another key factor
1216
01:00:14,735 --> 01:00:20,157
from people
as we go on and, you know,
1217
01:00:17,155 --> 01:00:21,784
months time or years time,
then I could look at being like,
1218
01:00:21,784 --> 01:00:24,494
I cool
if this thing actually looked
1219
01:00:22,242 --> 01:00:27,873
at the mats, those like 50 people
who want to pay
1220
01:00:26,246 --> 01:00:29,541
like ten bucks a month,
something for me
1221
01:00:27,873 --> 01:00:30,960
to do more specific thing
that they could follow.
1222
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,047
It's kind of relatively
like balances out the cost
1223
01:00:34,047 --> 01:00:38,009
of doing an app type of deal.
So I guess I'll be doing that
1224
01:00:35,380 --> 01:00:40,302
and you'll start seeing that
probably the next few months
1225
01:00:38,009 --> 01:00:42,639
to come. Okay, cool.
Yeah, I'm interested in that.
1226
01:00:42,639 --> 01:00:45,391
One of the things that
I've treated to the goals,
1227
01:00:45,391 --> 01:00:47,101
I'll talk a little bit
more about it. Yeah, Yeah.
1228
01:00:47,101 --> 01:00:49,394
Brilliant. Yeah. Let's.
Let's leave it at that. Yep.
1229
01:00:49,394 --> 01:00:52,523
So much too much to discuss
in the month. Much to discuss.
1230
01:00:52,523 --> 01:00:53,940
Our folks are going to
leave it there.
1231
01:00:53,940 --> 01:00:56,152
Thank you very much for tuning
in to Musings once again.
1232
01:00:56,152 --> 01:00:59,655
Thank you very much.
Time for picking
1233
01:00:56,860 --> 01:01:03,034
today's topic around.
And if you at home have
1234
01:00:59,655 --> 01:01:05,244
benefited from any of that,
please feel free to send
1235
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:06,036
through some value back to us.
That's a booster agreement.
1236
01:01:06,036 --> 01:01:07,746
We talked about plenty
through that.
1237
01:01:07,746 --> 01:01:10,123
You can go to the new
podcasting apps
1238
01:01:10,123 --> 01:01:13,543
out there, just like bound to.
I'll give another way
1239
01:01:11,668 --> 01:01:17,798
that people can do it.
So one of the things is to use
1240
01:01:13,543 --> 01:01:20,842
get Alby that's I think that
where we're both using
1241
01:01:18,590 --> 01:01:23,554
for multiple wallets
now I've got two, you've got one.
1242
01:01:23,554 --> 01:01:29,018
And so if you go to get become
you can actually use that
1243
01:01:29,018 --> 01:01:32,396
to get, get bitcoin
just like fountain.
1244
01:01:32,396 --> 01:01:35,065
And once again
it's not about the bitcoin
1245
01:01:33,356 --> 01:01:36,733
Bitcoin's the unimportant thing,
it's about the sending
1246
01:01:36,733 --> 01:01:40,445
of value back and forth.
So you can go to get Alby.
1247
01:01:40,445 --> 01:01:45,367
They've got an integration
where it is credit card detail,
1248
01:01:42,739 --> 01:01:47,202
it gives you some sets
and then if you go on
1249
01:01:45,367 --> 01:01:50,289
to the podcast
index boards and go to models
1250
01:01:50,914 --> 01:01:54,043
and you'll be able to see
right on the screen
1251
01:01:54,043 --> 01:01:56,128
there, it's like,
do you want a boost in?
1252
01:01:56,128 --> 01:01:59,090
And you can
do that on the desktop. That
1253
01:02:00,215 --> 01:02:03,552
should be able to do that in
our website and in the future.
1254
01:02:03,594 --> 01:02:08,974
Once again, it's a fingers cross.
It will be coming.
1255
01:02:06,556 --> 01:02:09,766
So yes, for sure.
So now me more or less.
1256
01:02:09,766 --> 01:02:11,978
We got to leave it there
24th of June.
1257
01:02:11,978 --> 01:02:15,398
I'd be happy to do it
at the end of Westside baby.
1258
01:02:15,398 --> 01:02:18,900
In the chat says, My question was
what's the sickest
1259
01:02:17,315 --> 01:02:20,737
you've ever been?
And it's the sickest
1260
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:23,739
I've ever been was,
I believe, 2020, where I lost
1261
01:02:20,737 --> 01:02:26,659
ten kilograms in a month
was my most successful
1262
01:02:23,864 --> 01:02:28,494
cut so far. It is actually,
I believe I remember
1263
01:02:28,494 --> 01:02:30,204
when Westside Baby
got that sick or.
1264
01:02:30,204 --> 01:02:33,875
Yeah, I remember he was not
well beginning sickening.
1265
01:02:33,875 --> 01:02:35,460
And with that, folks,
we're going to leave it there.
1266
01:02:35,460 --> 01:02:38,755
I hope that you out there
don't lose ten kilograms
1267
01:02:36,878 --> 01:02:41,423
of being sick,
but take some of our nights
1268
01:02:38,755 --> 01:02:44,427
and maybe look into, you know,
how do you can prevent and
1269
01:02:41,423 --> 01:02:46,512
manage sickness in the future.
Be more
1270
01:02:44,552 --> 01:02:46,512
online type you well Juan out
