WEBVTT - #1899 Tech, Extortion & Chinese Cars - Patrick Bonello 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.160 I got a team. Welcome to the new project. Patrick's here, 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:06.640 Tip's here, You're here. So that's all of us, so 0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.800 we can get underway. I will mention that Patrick and 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.440 Tiff for being inappropriate, as is often the case, before 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:19.600 we press the go button. If Patrick tell people about 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.240 the video that we watched, because we can't play it, 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:27.280 but we can direct. Firstly, Hello, Patrick, tell people about 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.120 that video. They should go and watch. 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.800 Les Patterson talking about getting his wife a new dog 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.640 is probably the best way of explaining it is absolutely hilarious. 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.440 But if you do a Google search Les Patterson new dog, 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.120 but don't do it right now because we've got to show. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.760 Yeah, don't do it now. I actually I've got it 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:52.519 right here. Yeah. Yeah, schnauz up dog. Yeah, that's it. Hi, 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.120 tiv Hi, what were you just guzzling something? 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.920 I was just guzzling a big drink of water. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.280 Has your dodgy body holding up? I know this is 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.479 off topic, but you haven't been it. You haven't been 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.800 at the gym. You haven't been where I trained for 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.839 bloody six months? How are your broken bits? 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:12.040 Well? 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:13.560 Do you know what it feels? 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:13.800 Right? 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:14.280 On topic? 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.480 Because today I was at the gym this morning, and 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.400 I'm thinking about it a lot, and I'm just trying 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.840 to figure it out, and I think that I think 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.200 it's perimenopause. I think I just I can't recover from staff. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:34.360 The injuries are okay, but my inability to train and 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.520 recover and. 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:40.039 It's really yeah, it's really good. It's really a great time. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:47.120 I didn't expect that answer. Do you reckon? Because this 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.760 is not a loaded question. I do not know the answer. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.440 But do you think that because you've trained so hard 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.920 and you've been so lean for so long, and we 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:01.320 know that women generally have a pound for pound have 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.920 a high level of body for health like for health reasons, 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.760 but you've been very do you reckon? That's I don't 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.079 know there's a correlation, there, a relationship or none at all. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.280 It's one of the reasons that I've been doing and 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.760 throwing is to oh is this hormonal? Is this my age? 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.040 Is this where I'm at? Or is this long term? 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.560 Doing too much? So I've changed a lot of things 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:30.480 or you know, I've also just the whole ADHD symptom 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.120 type things are really ramping. 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:33.480 For me right now. 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.120 So it's been a real but I don't know this 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.639 the last few weeks, I've just gone, Yeah, I think 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.959 this is hormonal and whether it the other how much 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:46.200 the other stuff layers in. I'm sure it does, but 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.320 I definitely don't feel the same on a lot of 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.360 levels as I have and that's kind of felt that 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.200 way for at least eighteen months to a couple of years. 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:02.760 Wow, that's well, will be one. I hope that as 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.080 much as it can sort out, sorts out, or you 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:10.160 sort it out soon. But I'm interested to see, you know, 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.160 how you go with that and what you discover. Patrick 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.800 James Bonello, how's your health? Son? Are you still? We 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.679 know you do your tai chi and we know you're 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:25.160 out in the wilderness with your dog, your schnouter. How's 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.120 your training and your body and your health? 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.120 Well, I didn't say anything, but I know I've gone 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.880 back to the gym, which has been fantastic, although I 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.320 wasn't there this morning. I've only done two weeks, but 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.280 you know I can my body. I don't want to 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.400 be I don't want to obsess about body weight, but 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.320 I've actually in two weeks time, I've dropped almost a 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.240 belt size, but I haven't dropped any body weight, so 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.440 I'm equating that to my muscles getting back into gear. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.560 It's freaky. I'm exactly the same weight, but I've dropped 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.200 a notch on my belt and that's the only thing 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.360 I can put it down. And that's just you know, 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.640 four days a week of doing weights, just getting in 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.800 there and pumping out the weights, very light weights to 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.480 start with start with, because I had a very ongoing 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.760 tennis elbow injury that just wouldn't good. It took months 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.320 and months and months. So I'm very mindful of not 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.080 pushing hard. But that kind of blew my mind. That's 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.279 is that even possible in two weeks to have that 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:23.760 sort of. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.479 React well, I mean, especially when you haven't been in 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.120 the gym for a long time, your body's very responsive, 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.200 you know, and like you have a training background. You 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.679 spend a lot a lot of time training at my gym, 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.400 like a long time, and Tif's got a big training background, 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.200 and I think once you've been not I mean, you're 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:46.440 in shape anyway, you're very in shape, but you're probably 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.440 not in lifting heavy shit shape, so to speak. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.280 And then you go back. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.200 And your body goes like there is a thing called 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.400 muscle memory, which is a little bit of bro science. 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.200 But the truth is that you have if you have 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.200 a training background. Let's say we're I had Patrick that 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.200 had never lifted await and Patrick that had lifted weights 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.720 a lot, but not for a while. The one that's 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.520 lifted weights but not for a while, that one's going 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.679 to adapt much quicker. Your body's going to get back. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.839 It's going to make more progress in less time, is 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:21.080 the bottom line. But yeah, that makes sense. So I mean, 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.680 I just think it's I just think everyone who can 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.839 should be doing strength training when they're forty or older 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.120 forty five at the latest. But and that doesn't mean 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.200 a gym necessarily, or dumbells or bar bells necessarily. There's 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:39.200 a lot of options to get strong. I got We'll 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.039 get on topic in a moment, but I want to know. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.560 I want to ask you a question that Kelly, who 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.800 Tiff coaches, who is a big listener to TIFF's show 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.080 and this show. Kelly was on the show this week Patrick, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.520 who's a listener, and she asked me fifteen questions, and 0:05:56.520 --> 0:06:00.400 one of the questions that she asked was if you 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:05.600 could only do one specific exercise or type of exercise 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.279 and you couldn't do anything else, And she's like, for 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.240 the rest of your life, what would it be like, 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.839 or like, what would be the best thing for overall whatever? 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.720 And what would your answer be, Patrick? If you could 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:25.200 only do you know a particular if we're talking not 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.560 about strolling around suburbia with the dog, but in terms 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.440 of like a kind of training or workout, you can 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.760 only do one thing in this hypothetical reality, Well. 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.400 Do you consider tie chee your workout? 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:38.479 Yeah, of course. 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.520 Well it'd have to be tai chie, no question, because 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.600 it has a longevity to it that means you there 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.720 are no barriers to it. You know, there's tie chies 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.040 specifically for people with arthritis, there's taie chief for people 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.240 just sitting in chairs. So you can do tie cheat 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.200 at any stage in your life and at any part 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.240 of your life, and the ongoing health benefits because it 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.360 slows the heart rate. You know. I always find this hilarious. 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.640 I'll be in the middle of a ninety minute session 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.240 of doing tai chie with my students and I'll get 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.920 pinged by my watch saying it's time to start moving 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.800 and exercise, and I've already done forty five minutes. Because 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.120 you're not taxing the heart. But we know there are 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:23.320 amazing health benefits from balance, coordination, core stability that movement. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.120 But it's passive, it's really slow movement, but there's strength 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.400 and moving slow. And the best way to explain it 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.600 is if you were throwing a kick or a part 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.920 if if you think about it, you're throwing a kick, 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.680 but if you do it in slow motion and you 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.440 slow down, what would be a half second kick down 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.840 to five seconds? Think about what you're having to engage 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:43.880 in terms of your core muscles to be able to 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.560 do that, and the ongoing benefit of having better core 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.400 and better balance. So no, it would be unquestionably it 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.400 would have to be tie. 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:55.280 Chi perfect good answer, good answer, Tiffany and cook if 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.120 you could, and of course this is never going to happen, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.520 but if if you just had to do one thing 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.800 which was most beneficial for you, best all round thing 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.560 that you might. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.600 Do, I'm torn because I've got a big love for 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.040 strength now, but I think there's a huge argument still 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.200 for boxing, Like I love watching people aging get into 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:25.320 boxing and the cognitive benefits, the emotional benefits, there's there's 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.520 just so many benefits and it's easy to engage and 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.520 you can do it at a high level, you can 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.080 reach peak heart rate, or you can do it slow. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.520 You can do shadow boxing and technique. You get connection 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.920 with people, you develop, you develop relationships, and there's just 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.839 so many dynamics you can't like. You can't get sick 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.120 of it. I'm a very you like I can get 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.640 sick of things easy. But there's always something different to work. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.640 And you can work on footwork, you can work on strategy, 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.560 you can work on flow, you can work on fitness, 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:55.920 you can work on power and speed. 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.760 Yeah I love it, I would say, but you're excluding 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.240 the getting punched in the face. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:04.000 Yeah you don't. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.040 Yeah, you don't necessary And that's the thing is you can. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.000 You can do sparring if you want, but you don't 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:08.360 have to. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:08.720 You can. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.040 There's a heaps of things you can do in box. Look, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.200 I just started with two clients that are over seventy. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.440 They are what They've never done anything like it in 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.560 their lives, and it's so beautiful to see. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.040 Mm you Craig. 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.840 Craig's taking up surfing. I heard the answer to that. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:31.079 Yeah, well I'm not. But but I thought from an exercise, 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:36.160 you know, exose physiology perspective. I was thinking. And actually, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.000 both of your and I'm not just saying this, both 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.720 of your answers are really good, right, And I think 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.760 also which I didn't, I didn't factor in as much, 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.000 although we did talk about a bit, but the sociology 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.520 point of view where you're connecting with other humans and 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.480 all of that, which is also unbelievably good for your 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.359 immune system and cellular health and brain function and dopamine 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.040 and all that. Yeah, So I picked surfing the reason 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.679 that I did. Why if you think about surfing, as 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:07.240 you were talking about Patrick, so balance coordinations, spatial awareness, 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:13.480 upper body strength, lower body strength, core strength, muscular endurance, 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.480 like you've got to go from lying on your board 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.199 to jump up on your board, so you need power, 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:25.360 a bit of explosiveness, and unbelievable cardiovascular fitness. Yeah. So 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.520 I just think from a like when we talk about fitness, 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.400 a lot of people would probably think, can can she 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:35.560 run three kilometers? She can, therefore she's fit, which is true, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.280 but maybe she can't do three pushups. So it's a 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.640 kind of a specific kind of a or the dude 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.360 who can bench press a Hyundai but can't run out 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.800 of a burning building, right, which was me for much 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:49.600 of my life. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.080 That's the crab. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:56.120 Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't need crab walk out. Yeah. The 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.440 Crab's pretty good at most things, but I don't think 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.760 running distances is one of them. But now we'll get 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:03.840 straight onto. 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.120 You say one thing. Sorry, when you talked about you know, 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.240 we talked about our little passions and it was great 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.240 to hear Tiff. And then you said, you know, the 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.840 other good thing is about connecting with people. And I 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.040 think of my tied sheen. I love connecting with people. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.440 But I think when Tiff connects with people, that's a. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.840 Basically yeah, that's true. It's an ambiguous term. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.240 I just wanted to add. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.880 In twenty fourteen, I ran a program, a government funded 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:36.160 program for women who had experienced violence, and they were 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.480 all they came from a clinical psychologists referreding to the program. 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.280 We did once a week for twelve weeks, just teaching 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.360 them some boxing in the gym, no contact. 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:44.840 Obviously. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.960 I had a lady and she would have been probably 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.920 in her sixties. And by the third I think the 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.800 third week, she came in and she looked at me. 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.840 She said, I haven't had a panic attack for three days. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.520 She goes, I have them several times a day, and 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.040 I blew me away because I used to train every 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.160 single day and to think that one day a week 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.760 in an environment like that, learning getting in your body, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.720 learning how to use your body, learning how to feel empowered, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:15.120 like it's the best. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:20.200 Yeah, I think forget crago as males that we for 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.840 the most part can walk down the street at night 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.000 and feel totally safe, and that's not the case for 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.640 half of the population. And that does my head in 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:29.240 a bit. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.680 Mate, I agree with you broadly. Yeah, sorry, mate, Sorry, 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.200 I'm very aware of that because in Hampton, where I 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.560 walk around, and I'm sure a lot of people think 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.360 I'm like some fucking urban stalker or some fucking covert 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.959 ninja who's going to steal their telly. But anyway, I'm 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.560 always aware that when I'm out and I'm walking and 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:57.280 I've got on a jacket and fucking army shorts, that 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.600 I must look to some people terror fine, And if 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.120 there's a woman walking towards me, I crossed the road, 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.439 so I intentionally go to the other side of the 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:13.560 road so they don't need to walk towards me feeling nervous, 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.840 even though I know they're safe. They don't know they're safe, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:22.000 so I'm hyper aware of that and I don't I 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.600 went on a walk. This is how much I think, right, 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.360 I guess this is you know, my PhD is understanding 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.120 how others think. Right, this is how much I think 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:31.960 about this shit. The other day I went on a walk. 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.360 I was doing my steps, and I ended up in Sandringham. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.400 I just went through all of these backstreets and I 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.120 came out of a street and ended up walking past 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.760 a school. I can't tell you a kids are primary school. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.960 I can't tell you how uncomfortable I was because I 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.320 didn't want to be a man walking, and so I 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.800 walked over the other I'm like, fuck, I don't want 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.320 to be here, like I don't want to be a 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:02.080 guy walking, you know, just that obviously there's no agenda 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.000 or intention, but I don't want to be. I don't 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.920 want the kids to feel anything. I don't want the 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.080 teachers to think anything. So I walked to the other 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.040 side of the road. So I'm on the other side 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.360 of the road from the school, intentionally looking straight ahead. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:20.000 I worry that much about how other people might experience 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.600 the impact of me in whatever way, and I think 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:28.920 that for me anyway, it's important, and I realize how 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.920 I don't of course, I can't realize the way that 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.080 a woman can realize, but I'm cognizant of it, and 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.120 I try to be I try to help them be 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:39.440 as comfortable as they can. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.400 You know that's admirable. I actually like that. 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.680 Yeah, I do what I can, Hey, mate, But enough 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:51.720 about me and Tiff and you. My list from you 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.200 just disappeared. I can't find it, so could you host 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.000 the show please? 0:14:56.280 --> 0:15:01.560 Yesh, you're think, hey, welcome to Do you write lists 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.600 when you go to the supermarket or do you pop 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.680 it into your phone and do you a little shopping 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.600 list on your phone? Because there's a really interesting research 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.720 into the psychology behind writing a list. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:16.840 Well, my mother is the world's most prolific list writer 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.120 on paper, and I did do it that way. But yeah, 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.360 I'm in the phone now and I'm not proud of that. 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.040 But yeah, my to do list is in my phone. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.320 So I not only write a list on my little 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.520 post it notes, but I use a fountain pen to 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.720 do it because I love writing. And I'm really feeling 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.640 vindicated now because evidently going a bit old school is 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.640 something that a lot of people do like and sixty 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:46.040 eight percent of adults say writing helps them feel organized 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.440 and in control. And now psychologists are saying that people 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.680 who stick with handwriting, particularly shopping lists, aren't just clinging 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:58.280 to a habit, they have some surprisingly positive traits. So 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:03.120 it means you're naturally conscientious and love feeling like you're 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.000 on top of things. That's one of the top things. 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.120 Your memory gets a bonus workout. When you write a list. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.640 You're protecting your focus from a digital distraction, so easy 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.320 when you're looking at your phone to then to get 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.120 distracted by a pin or something else that's happening on 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.400 your phone. And it also means that you shop with 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:25.040 intention and you'll spend less because you're focused on getting 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.480 those items, you're less likely to be distracted and buying 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.680 stuff that just happens to be on special. And then 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.720 there's a tactile engagement and that's always something good. But yeah, 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.920 I just thought it was really interesting. And even the 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.880 cognitive offloading lowers your stress. So by putting things onto 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.400 a piece of paper means you're not having to worry 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:47.080 about whether you've forgotten something, and then that way it 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.840 reduces your stress level and nostalgia is kind of a 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.280 good thing too, So kind of topping off the list 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.800 is a nice thing, and in particular as nostalgic as 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.760 it gets, writing with a fountain pin is it's nice. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.440 I get a warm, fuzzy every time I write with 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.560 my pin. It's nerdy as hell, isn't it? But it's 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:07.720 analogue as hell too. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.320 Do you think that? Do you think that things kind 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.479 of go in cycles. It's like there's gonna be people going, Oh, 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.280 I guess what I'm doing. I'm writing with a pen. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.840 Other people, you're fucking what, Brian, I'm writing with a 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.280 pen on a pad. Oh my god. I watched this 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:29.399 thing briefly last night. Do you know who Sir Arthur 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:35.159 Conan Doyle is Patrick? He wrote tars and uh, I 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.600 think he wrote Sherlock Holmes. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.520 Oh I thought he wrote Tarsan as well, Tiff. 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:44.240 Can you check that name? So I think it's Sir 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.200 Arthur Conan Doyle, or maybe I got. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:52.600 That eggar Rice Burrows. You're quite right, beggar Rice Burrows 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.160 write Tows and you're right it was the Sherlock Holmes. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.760 Anyway, So I was watching a thing about him and 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.680 he wrote his first you know what's funny is this 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.000 is a dude who wrote Sherlock Holmes, Who's Become? And 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.479 I think it was like eight ninety and they were 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.920 talking about his process and they've got all these notes 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.040 from writing his first book, which became a bestseller, and 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.280 when it came out, everybody is like, all the critics 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:19.040 are like, this as shit, right, this is shit, and 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.840 it's poorly written and the characters are not well developed 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.879 in anyway. It became the biggest thing of all time, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:29.080 but they were He wrote his first which became Mega 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.080 I forget the name of it, in four weeks with 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:38.239 a pen in four weeks, so he isolated himself for 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:42.199 four weeks and obviously handwritten. It was eight ninety and 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.760 I was looking at this lady who she's like this historian, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.840 and she got this other lady along that I'd never 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.840 heard of, but a well known British fiction writer, and 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:56.760 they were going through the way that it was developed, 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.480 in the way that he wrote it in all these notes, 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.879 and I thought, yeah, that's that's just ancient history. Now 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:05.960 imagine how quick he could write. But I wondered if 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:09.600 maybe writing on paper with a pen taps into a 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.240 different I don't know created it. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.240 It does more. Then they're encouraging kids now at school 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.359 to go back to writing with pens because it activates 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.200 the brain in a totally different way when you put 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.199 letters together and then form the words. When you write them, 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.320 you're forming them in your head as well, and there 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.880 are definitely health benefits. But you know what the good 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.280 thing about Athur Conan Doyle is that if he's pen like, 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.160 if he'd snapped the knieb on his pen, he could 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.280 have his mustache into the bottle of ink and kept writing. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:41.680 You've got to look up. Everyone now has to jump 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.080 in and look for a photo of Arthur Conan Doyle 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.720 because he has the most epic mustache that could also 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.120 be used as a pen. 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.160 It is world class. 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.080 So I wish I could grow a mustache like that. 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:55.560 It's so cool. 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.800 I've been trying to open your document over here, which 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.680 is I can just keep going, you know, dude, that's 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.560 all right, all right, you keep going, you keep hosting. 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:07.480 I've got it open now. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.040 But Jacob Space the Final Frontier. This is really interesting. 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.520 China has been as the first nation in the world 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:19.679 to fire a laser at the Moon, which was directly 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:23.520 pinpointed one of their satellites that's orbiting the Moon. Now 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.879 you think, yeah, well, you know that's not much. The 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.719 Moon's pretty big, big target to go for. Well, it 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.960 was very specific and in fact, aiming at the Moon 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.600 is the equivalent I think they were saying the equivalent 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:42.960 of hitting a hair from ten kilometers away, right, So 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.840 if you're trying at laser point and shoot a hair 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.760 from eight from ten kilometers away, that's the equivalent. So 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:52.520 this is pretty epic because they're hoping and there's kind 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.560 of another space race going on at the moment this 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:58.040 time it's kind of China and the US, and there's 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.000 a lot to be said for, you know, getting back 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.360 to the Moon, and they're talking this sort of technology 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.320 will help with autonomous rovers and things like that that 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.840 then could be remotely controlled if needed, and they're talking 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.840 about exploring more of the polar ends of the Moon, 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.320 and China's showing a lot of interest, and of course 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:18.359 the Americans are saying they want to go back to 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.600 the Moon as well. But this is a real first. 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.359 But that's amazing to be able to do that. That 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:27.159 that pin accuracy was pretty pretty epic stuff, and it 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.679
