Catch Up 104 - #158

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Oh, hello, friends. Welcome back to Modern Wisdom. My guests today are none other than Jonny and Yusef from propainfitness.com. Woo! We did a Catch Up episode. We haven't done one of these in nearly a full year. And I just thought, given the fact Yusef's on the front lines battling coronavirus, me and Jonny are working from home, and everyone's world's upside down, and Tiger King's on Netflix. Like, why wouldn't we do a Catch Up episode? So here it is. We just shoot the shit. Got nothing to talk about. Literally no agenda at all. I know that this is some of your favorite kinds of episodes where us three just sit down and chat about our lives and what's going on and current events and stuff. So yeah, expect to find out how Jonny's life has not changed at all, given that he already works from home. Same for me. And find out how Yusef's life has been completely turned upside down by one of the most intense periods at work that he's ever had. Some really nice messages in here talking about how healthcare workers are dealing and struggling with this particular situation. Me and Jonny give our best recommendations for Netflix documentaries and podcasts and books that we're consuming at the moment. So hopefully you'll have some great ideas for content that you can go through yourself as well. That's pretty much it. Some other things.
I've got one of the best line ups of guests ever coming that I've had on Modern Wisdom. Obviously, I've got fuck all else to do with my time. So I might as well record a bunch of podcasts. But Ben Greenfield earlier this week. Unbelievable. What a ridiculously good episode. Richard Shotten is coming back on for one of my favourite topics that we do, which is behavioural economics, marketing, advertising strategies. Unbelievable episode with him. Sam Spinelli from The Strength Therapist is coming on. Michael Blevins, part of the team that coached the actors in the 300 film Henry Cavill, Jason Momoa. It's just huge. Then every author that's on Bloomsbury, every author that's on Penguin Random House and Bonnier Books, all of them are in my inbox in one form or another. So the next couple of months are going to be ridiculous. Also considering speaking to VideoGuideen about maybe doing three episodes a week for a couple of weeks. So stay tight for that. Do not hold me to it because it's quite a lot of work as it is, but if we can make it happen for you, I appreciate that everyone needs a little bit of extra content and just, you know, connection and something to sink the teeth into and distract them from the world outside. So if I can do it, if we can make it happen, I will. But for now, please welcome the wise and wonderful Jonny and Yusef. Oh yeah, PS. If you enjoy Modern Wisdom and want to help support it and cheer my day up, all that I would ask of you is you share it with a friend. Just copy the link, send the episode to a friend. Nothing would make me happier.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. It's podcast time, podcast time, Jonny and Yusef podcast time. Welcome back, gentlemen. Very good to see you. Good morning. Good morning.

**Jonny** (3:34)
Does Skype, can everybody see everybody?

**Chris Williamson** (3:37)
Yeah.

**Jonny** (3:37)
At once. So if when you're speaking, if I go...

**Chris Williamson** (3:41)
Yeah, I can see you making embarrassing reactions to what I say, yeah.

**Yusef** (3:47)
So for anyone that's listening, like the reason Jonny's asked that is because the previous episode, we were using a different bit of software, where if someone was talking, the other person could be like, and it was fine because you couldn't see them.

**Jonny** (3:58)
Yeah.

**Yusef** (3:59)
Whereas now, we're all on view all at once.

**Chris Williamson** (4:03)
Yusef and Jonny are bothered about the fact that they can't be snide behind my back while we're doing the podcast or make funny faces. So lame. So what day is it? Saturday, April 4th, we're recording this. I think this will go out in just a couple of days. So yeah, we just saw we do a Catch Up episode. Obviously, this is the first time I've got to see either of you two. Since the last one, since Catch Up, which is funny. Since Isolation Hacks, we haven't seen each other. Now, we get to see each other again. It's like podcast.

**Yusef** (4:39)
It's also odd that all of our lifestyles have barely changed. I mean, Chris goes to the club less, but me and Jonny, our lives are exactly the same.
