Life Hacks 105 - #031

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hi, friends. Life Hacks 105, we are back again today with our favorite tips for a productive and efficient life. Me, Jonny and Yusef are going through the most comprehensive list that we've done so far, ranging from how to shake hands with people to why a Muslim upbringing gives you an obsessional level of toilet hygiene, how to move through a crowd of people, and an awful lot more. Now, last week I asked if you had the time to share the episode with some friends and I'd like to give a shout out to James McCarthy who hijacked his company's internal intranet and sent the Happiness Podcast with Susanna Hallinan to 100 people. So if you, I don't want you to do anything illegal, but if you do something cool like that and manage to share the episode on a big network, please let me know. Give me an Instagram DM or email it in and I might give you a shout out next week, but thanks James, you've smashed it. On the subject of Susanna Hallinan and Happiness, The 6 Minute Diary that I suggested on that, I keep on getting screenshots from people saying how much they're enjoying it. So in case you missed that episode, have a look at The 6 Minute Diary on Amazon. It's my favourite way to keep up with gratitude and journaling, both of which are foundational skills that Susanna said science says are absolutely crucial to leading a happy life. So check them out on Amazon. I'm a massive fan. I use the product myself and I have done since the beginning of the year. Even before I started the podcast, I couldn't recommend them more highly. But for now, it's life hacks time. Oh yeah, also, the show notes for this episode are incredibly comprehensive and I've tried to link as much of what we talk about down there. So if you want to do some further reading, some further learning, there's YouTube links, Amazon links, blog posts, and pretty much everything that we go through is linked in there. So feel free to follow that through if you want to learn a little bit more. Lifehacks 105, we are back again. Say hello, Jonny Yusef from Pro Pin Fitness are here. So Lifehacks is the most requested episode that we do, and it feels like the lowest hanging fruit. I reckon we could just make another channel that's just Lifehacks. Definitely. Just do this full time. Although Jonny, you seem to think you don't have any.

**Jonny** (2:44)
No, no I don't. I can talk about why.

**Chris Williamson** (2:47)
You can't see the wood for the trees, that's why. You are so optimized.

**Jonny** (2:50)
So I don't agree.

**Chris Williamson** (2:51)
You've greased the groove too hard.

**Yusef** (2:53)
Your threshold is too low for lifehacks though. So Chris had...

**Jonny** (2:57)
Too high.

**Yusef** (2:58)
Too high?

**Chris Williamson** (2:59)
Yeah.

**Yusef** (3:00)
Chris had a dairy product on his.

**Chris Williamson** (3:02)
Yes. Do you know what I mean? Right. Do you want to open up, Scubbily?

**Yusef** (3:06)
Sure. So Jonny has my list.

**Jonny** (3:09)
This is my list. You haven't got your lifehacks.

**Yusef** (3:14)
So I'm going to start having to categorize these into physical, digital, financial, and then different rooms. But my most recent one, which I'm so excited about is a Shattafa, which is an Arabic word for bum spray. Now I've got one of these fitted in my bathroom recently. 50 pounds, high pressure bum spray that just... So right, this is the justification for a product like this. Everywhere east of here, everyone has a Shattafa.
But if you get a bit of poo on your face, you don't just go, I'm just going to get a bit of dry tissue paper and wipe it off a couple of times. There we go. That'll do. Like you'd wash it with something and then you clean it. And so...

**Jonny** (4:08)
What about if there was going to be more poo coming from your face all the time?

**Yusef** (4:12)
Then you'd get some easy access spray that you can just hose it down and then go for the...

**Chris Williamson** (4:19)
So I've seen the hose that you're talking about and the pressure that comes out of it is a bit terrifying. Do you ever find, if you're too central with the spray, that you accidentally give yourself an enema?

**Yusef** (4:33)
It's feasible, yeah, like you'd have to...

**Chris Williamson** (4:35)
If you relaxed, if you relaxed the...

**Yusef** (4:37)
If you pushed out.

**Chris Williamson** (4:38)
Yeah.
What's that? What's relaxing like that? What's this?

**Yusef** (4:41)
Like if you dilate your anus, then...
