How To Survive University - #034

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Between myself, Jonny and Yusef, we've been at university for 16 years and done five degrees between us. I've also seen recently my 13th Freshers Week completed. So you could say that we're OGs of the student game. Given that the new university year has just started and also taking into account our obviously vast experience at dealing with our time at uni, we thought it would be only fair to disseminate some of our wisdom down to any students who care to listen. Or anyone who has been to uni and wants to reminisce about their most cringe-worthy times. Or anyone who hasn't been to university and wants to find out that it's not the doser round of Netflix and chronic masturbation that you may have thought it was. Today you can expect to learn our favorite tips for learning quickly, studying effectively how not to go bankrupt whilst you're at uni, how to deal with losing an erection when you've had a little bit too much to drink and an awful lot more. Coming up soon, I have got a secret super podcast with some real big dicks in the world of UK fitness. I'm going to be at Battle Cancer this weekend coming. As a part of that, I've managed to grab some of the big swinging schlongs from around the warm up area, and I'm going to get them to answer some of your questions. If you want to find out what Zach George, Lean Machines or Sonny Webster have to say for themselves, make sure that you tune in this week. You'll have the opportunity to submit your questions, and I will ask them the most awkward or embarrassing ones live on air. For now, we're going to go back to university. Enjoy.
Welcome back, Jonny and Yusef from Pro Pen Fitness. I hear again, today, we are going to discuss how to survive university. How many degrees have we got between us? One and a, you're a chartered accountant.
One and a, you're now a bachelor of medicine.

**Yusef** (2:30)
Oh yeah, true. Well, I'm a, is it a health science diploma that you get after halfway through? And then, so 1.5.

**Jonny** (2:37)
You're the only one that knows.

**Chris Williamson** (2:38)
Don't ask us.

**Yusef** (2:39)
Okay.

**Chris Williamson** (2:40)
You've got, you've got kind of two. I've got two. So there's five degrees between us and like cumulative amount of like what?

**Jonny** (2:46)
How have you got two? When did you sneak a second one in? Oh, I see, I'm right, okay.

**Chris Williamson** (2:50)
Masters. Masters. So we've been at uni for like what? 12 years between us, something like that.

**Jonny** (2:55)
Yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (2:55)
Bare time, bro.

**Yusef** (2:56)
Made every possible mistake that you can make at university. Been wasteman, been super productive and everything in between.

**Jonny** (3:04)
I resat a year at uni.

**Chris Williamson** (3:06)
Did you? Yeah.

**Jonny** (3:08)
What for?

**Chris Williamson** (3:08)
I would have never guessed that.

**Jonny** (3:10)
So, well, that's part of what I want to talk about.

**Chris Williamson** (3:12)
Fantastic.

**Jonny** (3:13)
When it just basically came out of first year, hard with momentum, went in the second year with same momentum.

**Chris Williamson** (3:21)
Stiffy.

**Jonny** (3:22)
And then about a third of the way through, you thought, fuck, and then failed to get through.

**Chris Williamson** (3:28)
Shit. Well, so we've got a lot to get through today. For those of you who don't know what I do, I'm a club promoter and for the last 12 years or so, in one form or another, I have had to look after freshers. They are usually the money makers for us in terms of guest listers. So what that means is that every year I get one year older, but the age of the people who work for me and the situations that they encounter pretty much stay the same. It's just faces and names that change.

**Yusef** (3:56)
The diverges.

**Chris Williamson** (3:57)
Yeah.

**Jonny** (3:58)
Just to be clear, those people also do get older, is what Chris is saying is that he's working with different people.

**Yusef** (4:04)
They're not frozen in time.

**Jonny** (4:05)
So it has the perception that they are getting older. Chris is okay, honestly.

**Yusef** (4:09)
What I'm saying is that although they are not frozen in time, I see a snapshot of them while I continue to age.

**Chris Williamson** (4:16)
Then there's a picture of them all that's in the attic of a dusty house. If they look at the picture of themselves, then they catch up all of the years that have gone by.

**Jonny** (4:24)
Then, yeah.
