Hi friends, welcome back. My guests today are Jonny and Yusef from propainfitness.com, and it is the big two zero zero, that's right, the double century nothouse for Modern Wisdom. Thank you to everyone who has tuned in. There are some of you that have been here right since episode one, back at the beginning of 2018 And to you, you deserve some form of bravery medal for putting up with a few hundred hours of me talking. But we asked for questions on our Instagrams. We got some absolute purlers. So you'll get to hear us answer, what is the meaning of life? What is the most significant moment we've ever encountered on a podcast? Would you rather bum your mum or your dad? It's the full gamut, right? It runs the entire spectrum of questions today. I miss the boys. I miss recording with Dean and Yusef and Jonny in my house. It's fun or whatever, being able to get these episodes done over Skype, but it's not the same. So I'm really looking forward to lockdown lifting so that we can get some stuff done in person. It'll be fun. This was good, but I miss doing it properly. We got Daniel Sloss in my ear and Rory Sutherland chatting away to a bunch of different people that I'd love to speak to in person, but I'm terrified that I'm gonna get a criminal record if I do it. So yeah, we'll see what happens. But again, thank you everyone who tunes in. I love you all to bits. You are my weird fucked up curious little family and I could not be happier that you are here with me. But for now, it's time for the wise and wonderful Jonny and Yusef.
It's episode 200, woo!

**Yusef** (2:04)
Big 200

**Chris Williamson** (2:06)
200, I think there's been 200 episodes of this podcast, man.

**Jonny** (2:11)
How many hours have you spoken on a podcast, Chris, now?

**Chris Williamson** (2:15)
At least 300, probably.

**Jonny** (2:16)
Probably closer to 400, isn't it?

**Chris Williamson** (2:18)
Maybe not, maybe, probably about bang on three, I guess.

**Jonny** (2:22)
I'm thinking, like, if you have the edited file, is the trimmed down version a lot of the time, isn't it? Or is it not for you?

**Chris Williamson** (2:28)
Never, never touch it, man, never play around with it. But then, I guess, with, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Neat, neat, it's the equivalent of ordering a steak blue.

**Jonny** (2:41)
Straight, no frills, no filters.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:44)
Yeah, exactly.

**Jonny** (2:45)
Unfiltered Chris.

**Chris Williamson** (2:46)
That's what it is, man. So yes, today we are doing episode 200 Q and A's between my Instagram and the Propane Instagram account. We have a lot of questions, there's varying degrees of seriousness and-

**Yusef** (3:02)
Full spectrum, really. Some truly heartfelt ones and then some just like, would you rather bum your mum or your dad?

**Chris Williamson** (3:08)
I think spectrum is probably the operative word for them.
Where should we start with? Well, there's one. How much editing do you do? Do you ever cut out parts of the conversation from Jennifer Lonz? Never ever cut the episode. The only times that that happens is if there's a connection dropout or if someone says something libelous that's like a litigating nightmare, which essentially doesn't happen. I just don't want to guess.

**Jonny** (3:39)
What would be an example? You don't have to say what it is, but what could someone say on a podcast where someone might get a bit litigious?

**Chris Williamson** (3:47)
If someone doxed someone, if someone said where someone lived or where someone worked or like a celebrity's real name or something like that, like the email address or website that someone works out of or whatever it might be.

**Yusef** (4:01)
Have you ever ditched an episode entirely?

**Chris Williamson** (4:03)
So in 200 episodes, I've got rid of five. I added another one to the list the other week, which is pretty fucking good. Like a 2% failure rate.

**Yusef** (4:20)
We've ditched two out of 250

**SPEAKER_4** (4:27)
That's good, man.

**Jonny** (4:28)
I know what one of those is.

**Yusef** (4:30)
They were just to spare the guest because I just don't think the guest came across very well.

**Chris Williamson** (4:35)
It's the same as mine. It's always like, this just isn't going to add much to the audience. You got to have faith that they're going to enjoy whatever you put out. But yeah, that was good. Right, you got one? You got a top question? Good one.

**Yusef** (4:49)
Let's have a look. So let's ignore Tim Garrett. Sorry, Tim. That's one for the propane one. Lil Mac Daddy says, what are the best and worst experiences you've had and what changed your lives positively?
