1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I'll get Agarouba's welcome to another installing the new project.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: It's it's bloody twenty twenty five. That's what it is.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: It's bloody twenty twenty five. It's January one, and only

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: losers would record a podcast on January one, on New

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Year's Day. And the three losers today are David Gillespie,

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: Tiffany and called Craig Anthony Harper.

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Hello, Tiv, I'm a winner, mate, I'm a winner. Hello,

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Well you are a winner. Dave's winner too, call him Dave.

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: I feel like, no, I'm not a big fan of

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: me called Dave.

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 3: People do call me that and I never correct them.

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: But I'm correcting. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not a fan,

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't, you know. To all the Daves, I apologize.

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: But if I was David, I would rather be called David.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, I think it's always a good

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: idea to pay attend to what people call themselves. You know,

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: if I run around saying introducing myself as Dave, then

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: feel free to call me Dave.

19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: But I never did, right, right. I think that's probably

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: a good rule of thumb. I think that's probably a

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: good social kind of to tick, so you pay attention

22
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: to what people call it. A tiff.

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: For example, I call Tiff, and I'm not certain that's

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: right because on her screen she has Tiffany.

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: I was just thinking this. I introduced myself as Tiffany,

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: but I prefer most people call me Tiff, and I've

27
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: just started changing things to tiff, like in written form.

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: What is that? That's because I mean, you do have

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: a very fancy spelling of your name, which is two

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: e's on the end. I don't know that fancy.

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: I am very fancy.

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: You're about as fancy as a fucking ug boot. That's

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: how fancy you are.

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: You know that my Motorbix called Emily with two e's

35
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: on the end.

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Now of course, Oh wow, we're anthropomorphizing our vehicles, now,

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: are we? Although my mum has done. All of her

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: cars have had names, and they've all been girl cars,

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: so I can't say I'm unfamiliar. What's that?

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: My first car was Lucy.

41
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: I can't. I've heard a lot of people name their cars.

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: I don't think I ever heard anyone give their current

43
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: a man's name. You don't think people referring to their currents.

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: That's Steve, that's that's Brian the Honda accord. It doesn't

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: really roll off the tongue, does it. I wonder what

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: that is. There's some research for you before we talk

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: about who the fuck knows what without giving away any

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: family secrets or revealing any data that you don't want to.

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: What's news even news day look like in the Gillespie

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: household or for the remaining members?

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: Well, the remaining members were just my wife and I yesterday,

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 3: because you know, with adult children, they've all got something

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: much better and cooler to do than hang around with

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: their parents. And yeah, so you know, we're just at

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: the beach, went down, caught the fireworks that are on

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: the beach, and today I'm mostly sitting around doing nothing,

57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: which is my idea of a good time.

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Well, accuble you write, is this a book we already

59
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: know about? Or yeah, I know that's the one we

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: already know about. That's the one about adhd Yep. What's

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: the what's the ETA on publication for that? I don't know.

62
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: It really depends, really depends what the publisher thinks of

63
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: this manuscript. But we'll see how we go.

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: Surely by that now they just go, yeah, whatever, we're

65
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: going to publish it. It's not like you.

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I like to see a manuscript to know,

67
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: you know, where in the year it's going to be published,

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 3: you know, all that marketing year.

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Is this the one that is that you're building around stories?

70
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: No, that was the last one I wrote, which was

71
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: the one about the stories about psycho And yeah, I

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: know that one is the one in the market at

73
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: the moment. And now this one is more about talking

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: about what a lot of people are describing as ADHD,

75
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: which is lack of focus and you know, the massive

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: increase in diagnosis of adult ADHD and all that sort

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: of thing, and looking at you know, what's causing that.

78
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: And we've talked about bits and pieces of this a

79
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: lot over time, but more importantly talking about what to

80
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: do about it other than take drugs.

81
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is I mean? Well, this wasn't where we're going,

82
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter where we go. It's newsday. What

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: are the common misconceptions around ADHD?

84
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: I think one of the really common ones is that

85
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: you're born with it and there's nothing you can do

86
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: about it, you know, you know, it's just the way

87
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: I was born.

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: But that's just nonsense. It really is.

89
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: For the vast majority of ADHD cases, or at least

90
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: the things being diagnosed as ADHD. The rates the rates

91
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: of this condition have gone through the roof, The rates

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: of diagnosis of drugs for this condition have gone through

93
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: the roof. If it's something that people are born with,

94
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: then it's a pretty weird thing that suddenly the incidence

95
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 3: of it is changing really dramatically. So but the alternative

96
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: to that that's often put about is well, if you're

97
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: not born with it, then I guess these people are

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: imagining it, or they're wroarding the health system in some way,

99
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: or you know, or it's just being made up. I

100
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: don't think that's true either. I think the incidence is

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: actually increasing very rapidly. But the cause of it is

102
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: not a birth defect. It's what we're doing in our society,

103
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: which is a combination of and massively increase addiction.

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: And what about Do you think that nutrition plays a

105
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: role in ADHD incidents or the prevalence or the growth

106
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: in ADHD diagnoses.

107
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: I think a partial role, in the sense that sugar

108
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: addiction is definitely an underlying base layer to what a

109
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: lot of people ultimately become addicted to. So yes, part

110
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: of fixing this without drugs is removing sugar, but other

111
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: aside from that.

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: Now, I feel like, and this is not research anyone,

113
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: and probably inaccurate, but I feel like for some people

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: their inability to focus to concentrate is somewhat task or

115
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: context dependent. I feel like, you know, for me, there

116
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: are some things that I really struggle to like. Even

117
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: with my research, there are bits of it where I'm like,

118
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: I cannot like reading a paper that doesn't really interest

119
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: me naturally interests me right versus I'm doing a thing

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: at the moment called a risk of bias assessment for

121
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten papers. I've got this eight step protocol.

122
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: It sounds horribly boring, but today I did nearly four

123
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: hours of it and I was completely engrossed and immersed.

124
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: And I looked up and it was four hours, and

125
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: I went, where did that go? I feel like, with

126
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: certain tasks or in certain capacities, I have amazing focus

127
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: and concentration, and with other tasks or in other perhaps settings,

128
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: not zero but you know, way less.

129
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, look absolutely, I mean, And part of the key

130
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: to fixing what's being described as ADHD is to find

131
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 3: those areas of what I'm calling in the book hyper focus,

132
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: which is I think I think we're all capable of

133
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: hyper focus, as you say, if you find the right thing,

134
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: we're all capable of hyperfocus. The troublers at the moment.

135
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: The easy thing to direct. Hyper focus is usually an

136
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: addictive behavior. So people have the experience you just described

137
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: when they're playing computer games, so they're intensely focused on it,

138
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: they're un'ntable to leave it alone, and then they look

139
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: up and you know, before you know it, four hours

140
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: has gone by, which is of course part of the

141
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: reason why they don't have clocks and casinos and why

142
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 3: they don't have clocks on screen in computer games. So yes,

143
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: there's a hyper focus, and it's both part of the

144
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: cause of the problem if it's sent in the wrong direction,

145
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: and I say, the cure of the problem. So you know,

146
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: my preliminary title for this book is hyper focused, and

147
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 3: it's you know, how to get more done in less time?

148
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: And or the subtitle love come up with, and none.

149
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Of these will be kept by the publisher because they

150
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: always hate. My marketing ideas.

151
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: Is you know how to focus like it's nineteen ninety

152
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: and that that's what I propose as part of the cure,

153
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: which is find the thing that isn't addictive creates that

154
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: state of high focus.

155
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: Yes, that is I mean obviously it sounds simple. It

156
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: can be both simple and difficult. But yeah, like if

157
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: you could find that thing that can get somebody in

158
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: that state of where they are focused, they are byper

159
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: focused perhaps.

160
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: But I'll make a guess about you and this research

161
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: you were doing. When you got to the end of

162
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: that four hours, did you feel you know, enlivened, supercharged

163
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: or did you feel exhausted?

164
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: I felt fucking great. And it's funny because I am

165
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: not the best student, right, there's a shock, But when

166
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm learning something I want to learn, Like when I

167
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: say I'm not, I'm probably actually quite a good student

168
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: in certain capacities and environments. But in the traditional traditional

169
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: academia kind of or academic setting and academic kind of processes,

170
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: some of them they just do my head in because

171
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: they're so pointless and inefficient, as you well know, right, no,

172
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: go on, you can, yeah, but I've you know, there

173
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: are some things where it took me a while to

174
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: understand this particular thing that I have to do in analyzing.

175
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: Sorry everyone for boring you. But this is just my day,

176
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the risk of bias assessment for all of these individual

177
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: way that individual studies were done, and it's like one

178
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: paper sometimes got six studies, so you've got to do

179
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: six analysis or assessments in one paper. And you know, anyway,

180
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: but I've kind of got into a rhythm and I've

181
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: figured it out and I'm clear about what I'm doing,

182
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: So my confidence has gone up my output. Like it

183
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: was taking me one hour to do one paper, and

184
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, now I'm doing depending on how many studies

185
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: are in each paper, but I might do three, four

186
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: or five in an hour. It depends. But with that,

187
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, and so yeah, I guess too, when you

188
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: feel like you're competent at something or you're actually making

189
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: ground or for me anyway, there's a lot more joy

190
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah.

191
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: Look, and I think what you just described is exactly

192
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: the way someone who can play a musical instrument well feels.

193
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: After they have a session.

194
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: So they go and they play the instrument for an

195
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: hour or whatever, and they experience that hyper focus and

196
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: then at the end of it they feel real euphoria,

197
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 3: like someone's giving them drugs. It's not a grind. Whereas

198
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: for me. If I tried to do that, I wouldn't

199
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: feel euphoria. I'd feel extreme frustration because I can't play

200
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: a musical instrument very well at all, and it's a

201
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: grind for me. So you've got to find the area

202
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: of hyperfocus. Your story actually reminded me of the way

203
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: I did university, at least my undergraduate degree is. And

204
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: I was often laughed at for this, but it was

205
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: the only way I could do it. I never went

206
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: to a lecture. This is back in the days when

207
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: you were supposed to go to lectures and they can

208
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: record them, and the only way to find out what

209
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: happened at a lecture was to go to it, and

210
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: I never did because I found that an extremely low

211
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: bandwidth way to get information and it usually just put

212
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: me to sleep. So, and this was in the days

213
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: when they used to assess things with sort of seriously

214
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 3: long exams at the end of a year. So year's

215
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: worth of lectures with a really long exam at the

216
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: end of it, and that was it. And I determined

217
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: that the only real way that I could learn anything

218
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: was to do nothing all year, and then in the

219
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 3: two weeks prior to the exam, essentially cram the entire

220
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: textbook usually written by the lecturer. So that's probably what

221
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: the lecture lectures were about and hope for the best.

222
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: But in that period that two weeks, that was two

223
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: weeks of hyper focus. That was like really really disciplined.

224
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: You read for two hours, then you take a break,

225
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: and then you read for another two hours and then

226
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: you take a break.

227
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: You know. So it was done that way. So I

228
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: want to know, by the way, kids don't do what

229
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: David did it. Now I've seen my kids in university.

230
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: You couldn't do it. They've got NonStop assessments and sign

231
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: and all that, you know.

232
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: They university is a lot more like high school these

233
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: days and the way it's conducted.

234
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: So when I did my first degree, which was one

235
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: hundred years ago, but you know, so anatomy and physiology

236
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: and biomechanics and energy systems and all the stuff that

237
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: you actually have to commit to memory. You know, it's

238
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: like because you're being assessed on functional anatomy. So we

239
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: have this like a myriad of books. But where I

240
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: would read the book, I'd kind of skim it and

241
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: then I'd highlight the stuff that I thought I needed

242
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: to know I'd do that for every chapter, and then

243
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: I would record on CDs, right or floppy discs or whatever.

244
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: I would record the stuff that I'd highlighted, and then

245
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: I would play that in my car NonStop. You know.

246
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: So I'd say, so there's there's four quad muscles, you know,

247
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: rectis femeris.

248
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: You know. Is that what you do when you don't

249
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: have friends at university?

250
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Exactly, that is it inserts into the bloody patella tendon,

251
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: which inserts into the tibi l tu vorosity or whatever

252
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: it is. Right, I remembered it. I've remembered it. But

253
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: I would just memorize all this shit. But then so

254
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: it took me a while to download it. But then

255
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: nearly everything that I memorized for exams back in the day,

256
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: nearly everything I cannot get out of my head. Like, yeah,

257
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: but once I learn, like I'm a slow learner, but

258
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: once it's learned, I almost never unlearn it.

259
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: I once saw us some research somewhere about that audio

260
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: learning methodology, and I've tried it a few times myself,

261
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: and it kind of works. And I think the research

262
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: said you have to hear something seven times and really

263
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: focus on it, listen to it seven times and then

264
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: it will be memorized. So when I've really needed to

265
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: memorize something, I sort of incantation seven.

266
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah right, and it seems to work. Yeah, yeah, yeah almost. Yeah.

267
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: I used to create stories around shit so I could

268
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: or But this is different, but similar Like with people's names,

269
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: if it was a difficult name, I've think of something

270
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: that's you know, like a town or a place or

271
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: a car or whatever, and I'd associate that image with

272
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: that person. So even if I had no idea of

273
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: what their name was, just looking at them, I could

274
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: recall this image or this whatever association and then I

275
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: would know from that because I couldn't remember their name,

276
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: but I could remember the image that I had in

277
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: my mind that I associated with that person.

278
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: What's the image you've got in your mind for Tiffany.

279
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: Well, for tiff, I've just got an ug boot for you.

280
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: I've got the David and you know which is well,

281
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: thank you, I think, which is maybe I don't know

282
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: if you should be that platted It's right, I don't know.

283
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: So so have you got any I mean, without giving

284
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: away the book, because we're all going to buy. The

285
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: book is going to be called hyper Focus.

286
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: And probably not, because you know, when a publisher's marketing

287
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: department gets these things.

288
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: I haven't had one yet. I've read.

289
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 3: I've written fourteen books and that have been published by publishers,

290
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: and not one of them has come out with the

291
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: same title I gave it.

292
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: Tiff, can you look that up and see if there's

293
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: a book called Hyperfocus? Please please idea. Yeah, let's check that.

294
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that's a book. Well,

295
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: every time I come up with a new title, I'm like, yeah,

296
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: that's that's that's already there, is it there, Tiff.

297
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: And someone Chris Bailey, Chris Bailey.

298
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: Give us a snapshot, give us a little bit of

299
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: a give us a snapshot of that, or a byline

300
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: of what that book's about.

301
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: Hyperfocus is a practical guy. Me, yeah, let me let

302
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 2: me open the link. Hyperfocus had to be more productive

303
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: in a world of distraction. Guide to managing your attention

304
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: the most powerful resource you have to get stuff done,

305
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: become more creative, and live a meaningful life.

306
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: That sounds way too fluffy for Giles. More science. He

307
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: will be a lot more research based respect to that guy,

308
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: But it's ye. Dave published Tiffany.

309
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: When was it published eighteen?

310
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: Old school? Old school up today today? That's historic, that's

311
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: pre covid, because that is that even real anymore it's

312
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: in the stone, then it's not going to be called

313
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: hyper focus. Are there any tips that you might share

314
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: with us for not necessarily exploring the realm of the

315
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: hyper but becoming just more focused and more what's the

316
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: word effective at managing our attention in general? Well?

317
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, like one of them is exactly the one you described,

318
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 3: which is to find that thing. And for many people

319
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: do have a thing like that, whatever it is, for

320
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: a lot of people at sport, and that's perfectly fine too.

321
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be an intellectual thing. It just

322
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: has to be something that when you're doing it, the

323
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: world passes you by entirely, where you're one hundred percent

324
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: focus on that thing.

325
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: Yes, and.

326
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: You finish doing it whatever amount of time it takes,

327
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: preferably at least an hour, and you come out of

328
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: it almost euphoric from having devoted your entire attention to that.

329
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 3: And the reason for that is that doing that causes

330
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 3: the brain to produce a significant.

331
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: Quantity of dopamine.

332
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: More probably consistently than even pursuing things which are addictive

333
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 3: that would normally produce dopamine spikes, and in essence, what

334
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 3: this is is sort of like a method owned treatment

335
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: for addiction in the sense what you're trying to do

336
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 3: is generate homemade dopamine and to do that using things

337
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: that also have other benefits to your life.

338
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, so home dopamine, that sounds like a good recipe.

339
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: Well, all dopa means homemade. But this is self generated,

340
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: I guess is a better way.

341
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: It's not externally generated.

342
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and so you know, people might know of

343
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 3: the concept of the runners high. For example, people talk

344
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: about the runners high and they're so into running that

345
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: they can't even miss a day, like you know, you

346
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: know about it. For people who go to the gym,

347
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: there are people who will really just get quite upset

348
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: if they if they miss a regular gym session that

349
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: they're they're keen on going to. And that's not everyone

350
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: by every stretch. I mean, gyms make their money out

351
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: of the rest of the population, which are the ones

352
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: who buy memberships and go twice and then never go again.

353
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: But there are people who very much get their value

354
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: for money out of the gym because they can't miss

355
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: a day, and they are in essence addicted to that

356
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 3: dopamine rush they get from doing that intensely focused exercise.

357
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you say this. There's a I'll

358
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: just say a young man at once, say his age,

359
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: and I'll definitely not say his name. We'll call him.

360
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: We'll call him Johane. It's not John. But I literally

361
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: had a meeting with this young man two days ago,

362
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: sitting in my garden about twenty feet from where I'm talking,

363
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what I'm talking about, so I can

364
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: say this bit. He has significant body dysmorphia. He's completely

365
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: obsessed with exercise and managing his food and all of

366
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: these things like lovely dude, really good dude, but yeah

367
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: and that and very smart, like he knows, he knows

368
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: what he should be doing, but there's so much fear

369
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: and anxiety. Like he trains twice a day, Like he

370
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: has a full time job, an important job, smart, makes

371
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: lots to do. He has to train twice a day.

372
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: And I said to him, like, we have this whole

373
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: chat and me, I've been borderline body dysmorphic over the

374
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: years with stuff and all the Craig harba bullshit. But

375
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: I said to him, all the starting point is that

376
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: you just train once a day and just terror. I go, so,

377
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: there's what you're comfortable to do, and there's the thing

378
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: that you know you should probably do, right, And he goes, yeah,

379
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: I know. And I said, look, you know, whatever you're

380
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: going to do, you're going to do so this I mean,

381
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: this thing it's actually you know, some people call it

382
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: athletic andsa, this predisposition, or this addiction to not being

383
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: able to even have a fucking day off.

384
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is an addiction, and it's a very real one.

385
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: And he reacted exactly the same way that an addict

386
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 3: would react who was an addict to anything else. So

387
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: you go up to a fourteen year old gamer and say, yeah,

388
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: look you're gaming eight hours a day. I want you

389
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 3: to cut back to four. You get a similar reaction. Yes,

390
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 3: and yeah. The real question is is the addiction doing harm?

391
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 3: Is it impairing him in the rest of his life,

392
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: you know? Or is it something that he can control

393
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: and healthy manage?

394
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: You know?

395
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 3: Those are the they're the questions you've got to ask.

396
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: I mean, because it just because it's an otherwise considered

397
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: healthy thing to do to generate dopamine, like going to

398
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: the gym, doesn't mean that if you take it to

399
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,239
Speaker 3: the extreme, it's any less potentially harmful for you than

400
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 3: any other addiction.

401
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: That is correct. And the amount of stress and anxiety

402
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: he has, you know, he is under recovered, he's overtrained,

403
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: he is undernourished.

404
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: But that's the kind of thing that addiction does. I mean,

405
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: addiction wouldn't matter that much if there weren't consequences in

406
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: the sense that you know. I mean, you could say, oh, well,

407
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: there are consequences for being a smoking addict. You die

408
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: of lung cancer, okay, But those are consequences of the

409
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: addiction delivery mechanism, the cigarette. If the only problem of

410
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: addiction was that, then you'd say, okay, well, then we

411
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 3: just put you on nicote patches and you're all good.

412
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: You can load up on them for the rest of

413
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 3: your life. You'll be at it, you'll be an addict

414
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 3: to them. But who cares? It matters because addiction comes

415
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 3: with a whole load of extra things, which essentially account

416
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 3: for probably ninety percent of what we call mental ill health.

417
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: You know, it cascades once you've got that addiction state

418
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 3: in your brain. You've changed your tolerance level for dopamines

419
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: so high that you need these hits all the time,

420
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 3: which it sounds like this fellow has. Then that level,

421
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: that delaposs B level is so high that you are anxious, paranoid,

422
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: potentially psychotic, and if it goes further, ultimately schizophrenic and

423
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: probably depressed all at the same time and ADHD when

424
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: you're not at the gym. So it's all of that

425
00:24:55,040 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 3: stuff which makes addiction matter. It isn't the addiction itself.

426
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: And if you add all of that stuff up, you've

427
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: just named ninety percent of the DSM.

428
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And you know what else is

429
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: interesting is in the middle of all of this stuff,

430
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: like people who are have this kind of an addiction

431
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: that revolves around a lot around appearance. You know, there's emotional, psychological, sociological,

432
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: physiological variables and factors that all that shit, right, But

433
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: I said to him, so, doing all the stuff that

434
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: you do, all the rituals, all the you know, everything

435
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, does it make you happy? And he's like, Noah,

436
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's like, but nonetheless can't stop.

437
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 3: All that I suspected you asked him a slightly different question,

438
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 3: you get a different answer, which is if you asked him,

439
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: when you are at the gym, when you are doing

440
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: this and you're having a good workout, yeah, you feel normal.

441
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: And I think the answer to that would be yes.

442
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

443
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: I think he'd probably say it's the only time I

444
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: feel normal, which is why it's so distressing for him

445
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: to hear you say he needs to do less of it.

446
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I guess I know the answer to the

447
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: next and final question I have for you. But I

448
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: was telling tip before I did an interview today with

449
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: the ABC, which they the ABC seem to ring me

450
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: every New Year to talk to me about New Years resolutions,

451
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: the efficacy thereof or lack of. Are you a I'm

452
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: guessing no, But are you in New Year's resolution type

453
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: of person? No?

454
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: What's the point of making a resolution you're going to

455
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 3: break with twenty four hours?

456
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: I'm shocked. Well, they actually did a you know, a

457
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: somewhat pointless study. It's I think it was Birmingham University

458
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: or Brighton University in anyway, it was like eighty eight

459
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: percent of people don't achieve what they set out. So

460
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: I was surprised that that number wasn't higher I would

461
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: have thought it would be close to one hundred of people.

462
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: I would have thought, I mean people who go right

463
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,679
