Catch Up 106 - #209

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Oh, howdy, friends in Podcast Land. How are you? My guests today are Jonny and Yusef from propainfitness.com, and it's another catch-up episode. No agenda, no purpose, just finding out what life is like as a human for us over the last few months. I've lost an Achilles, Bill Ackman made the greatest trade in history. We talk about some of the stuff we've been watching on Netflix. Jonny's dog joins us. We talk about cinnamon quite a bit. It's always fun to have the boys around to do these ones. I really do enjoy them. What else has been going on? Well, yesterday I will have had my surgery. I usually record these intros as close to the published date as I can. But given that I'll have been under the knife only 24 hours before this one goes out. I'm recording a little bit earlier in the week. So yes, I will currently be off my face on morphine, which actually I'm quite looking forward to. I feel like a war veteran from World War I. You know, like give me the morphine. So that's me. That's me morphine off my face. The publishing schedule is going to continue. We're going to get three episodes out this week. I'm going to drop to two a week next week and probably the week after just that I can do all of the intros just in case there's some complications with my Achilles operation. But hopefully normal service shouldn't really be too interrupted. If this was just a hobby, then I might not care so much. But as Stephen Pressfield says, when you turn pro, you get the work done. So I'm continuing to get the work done. There's some unreal episodes coming up over the next few weeks, including I have just confirmed Seth Godin, Ryan Holiday and Stephen Pressfield, the guy who wrote Turning Pro and The War of Art. So look forward to those. But for now, let's catch up about Cinnamon with Jonny and Yusef from propainfitness.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. I'm joined by Jonny and Yusef from propanefitness.com.

**Yusef** (2:26)
Do you ever say ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls?

**Chris Williamson** (2:29)
No, because this is an adult show for adult people. But we're also joined by-

**Yusef** (2:33)
Do you take the explicit rate?

**Chris Williamson** (2:35)
Yeah, yeah, of course it is. That's the number one reason, not having the explicit rate incorrect is the number one reason shows get taken down off the Apple podcast store.

**Yusef** (2:43)
Wow. Just accidentally slip in a C-bomb or something and then that's it.

**Chris Williamson** (2:48)
This is made for children. Jonny's brought his dog. Jonny, can we see your dog?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:52)
Can we see Dexter?

**Chris Williamson** (2:54)
Look at you.

**Jonny** (2:56)
All black features.

**Chris Williamson** (2:58)
Yeah, he is.

**Jonny** (2:58)
Can't see his face until he's looking to the side and then you're like, all right, that's his dog.

**Chris Williamson** (3:03)
Yeah, yeah.

**Jonny** (3:03)
Here he is.

**Chris Williamson** (3:04)
You're right. It is cinnamon.

**Jonny** (3:05)
It is cinnamon. How's everyone doing?

**Chris Williamson** (3:10)
Yeah. OK. Sans won Achilles since the last time that you spoke to him. Yeah.

**Jonny** (3:17)
Big event.

**Chris Williamson** (3:19)
It was impressive. Yeah. I made a meal of it, I think you would say.

**Jonny** (3:26)
It's impressive how you felt at the time, I imagine not.

**Chris Williamson** (3:28)
No.

**Jonny** (3:28)
You were like lying on the ground going. Fair enough.

**Yusef** (3:31)
In full cricket whites.

**Chris Williamson** (3:33)
In full cricket whites. I think that's a key factor. So I might as well, by way of scaling the what happened question, I can just say it once and then link people to this podcast. So I decided to start playing cricket again after 12 years of absence. Went and netted at a local team, got picked, played last weekend, went into bat and was playing pretty well. 20, not out, a couple of boundaries. Only one chance that I gave away, pretty difficult. It was all right. Set off for a run, pushed off with my right foot and just felt like I'd been shot in the back of the leg, but no pain, which is pretty weird. Set off, left foot fine, then went to put my right foot down and it was just like stepping on like a wobble board. Basically couldn't support my weight, thought I think I've snapped my achilles, then hit the deck. Then the bastards that I was playing against ran me out. So as I was on the floor with a snapped achilles, they decided to run me out as opposed to just leaving me be. Which I was like, come on, mate. I've lost a lot of blood here. Missing an achilles here. Then ended up at the RVI. Dad took me to the RVI.
