episode of no such thing as a fish

2:37

a weekly podcast coming to from the queue

2:39

only offices in covent garden my

2:41

is dan schreiber i'm sitting here with to

2:44

since geek andrew hanson murray and a very

2:46

special guest if malcolm gladwell and

2:48

again we have gathered the microphones with our

2:50

for favorite sites from the last seven days

2:53

and in no order here we

2:55

go sorting with that number one

2:57

and that is malcolm my

3:00

favorite fact is that no one

3:02

has any clearer idea about what growing

3:04

up with a smartphone does we

3:07

i got into the because i was doing an episode of my

3:09

podcast in recent history on what i called magic

3:11

wand experiments attack which is the

3:14

experiment you would do if could wave a magic

3:16

wand right to , all laws

3:18

of nature and and

3:21

as ethical so i called up and

3:23

spend a bias and i said who was a

3:25

psychologist as a what's your magic and he said all

3:27

i want to divide that divide

3:30

their thousand or two thousand children a birth

3:32

and one group group

3:35

one gets a blackberry for the first

3:37

twenty five years of their life actually he wanted

3:39

to for the first fifty years and group

3:41

to get an phone as it will why would

3:43

you want to do that decent while because we

3:46

just don't know what did i phone the

3:48

overtime increase hype on that existed and

3:50

if a woman on is a sack of wasn't

3:52

sack wasn't invested was invested and have no no

3:55

point of emphasis said the blackberry

3:57

assist your phone email so we'd

3:59

run

3:59

nuclear that is doesn't

4:02

affect your life in that is dramatically rents

4:05

and the i phone is all the other stuff

4:07

there you go through those literature he said

4:10

you'll discover that there is no consensus

4:12

or even understanding of what all that he other

4:14

stuff does to a child

4:16

so he gave an example suppose you're all

4:20

six years old

4:21

and i were sitting around a table and

4:24

i or eight years old and i see something

4:26

deeply offensive to enter a hum

4:29

anna lot madison anna

4:31

have many options and city can put

4:33

she could express her displeasure

4:35

directly to me in one form one form yell

4:38

at me

4:39

let me down sarcastically punch me

4:41

ignore me oh mary i think

4:43

of my son of a whole area yes

4:45

diagnosis and

4:47

, these are are deeply effective

4:50

ways of educating me about the consequences

4:53

of my absence nail disposed

4:55

mina are on our i

4:57

phones i say the exact same thing when it's

4:59

a text the i'm so

5:01

only way i could respond now is with another

5:03

text so she used to have enormous

5:06

repertoire of potentially powerful

5:09

and instructive responses to my provocation

5:11

a yellow she has the text so

5:13

let's replace the enormous repertoire

5:16

of powerful instructive responses over the course

5:18

of twenty five years just texts

5:21

question is what happens malcolm the

5:23

malcolm why does become oblivious

5:26

to i just keep being offensive to i never

5:28

learn the guy yeah lillian as

5:30

right

5:30

nobody my tax with them really angry

5:33

no g or i think you're my has been

5:36

nothing nothing as instructed

5:39

as the things i mentioned now

5:41

maybe that it does matter

5:43

it also maybe that huge

5:45

to quench your and we have no idea right

5:48

when will we find out with a going to be like a future

5:50

presidential election where they simply on their first

5:52

i think that's a hard enough as like

5:54

if like if going to be decades before any kind of

5:56

research on come out about you have to study it

5:59

the

5:59

mckenna i was had within years we'll

6:02

see what i could get back to look into their suicide as

6:04

no control i think us losing control yeah

6:06

and us we do know so we

6:08

know something's and a worries we

6:10

know that

6:11

levels of depression and mental illness or higher

6:13

among adolescents now than they've

6:15

ever been in measured history

6:18

though that coming to do with technology

6:20

maybe we don't know he certainly is a a

6:22

kind of prods to think of this

6:24

might be yeah had put out of verify

6:27

researching a site it it really is had

6:29

such as as

6:30

the coming thing i suppose so far

6:32

as a response a silicon valley and basically all

6:34

the people at the top of tests who now

6:36

have against it and who discovers

6:38

that children from having science

6:40

the schools have i pads

6:42

the an amateur money oh yeah no

6:44

yeah they all were so many of them regret doing what

6:46

they did i think the guy who invented infinite scroll

6:48

a the ruskin think he says he regrets

6:51

it more than anything else in his life he said it led delay

6:53

or consequences current

6:55

inventory at the infinite, scroll said

6:57

he's

7:03

at wouldn't it it be great if you could just go on and on and

7:06

now he says he the importance of that

7:08

stop i've considered that that was

7:10

the pretty good was thinking when he said he invented housing

7:12

what came before him for has gotten caught was

7:14

this who had a and pages have you he

7:16

is a threat like the and i'm now wondering what my all

7:18

time record of how many tweets i have through

7:21

at once who's i mean there must have been

7:23

a day where i did maldives yeah they will never

7:25

have a full but if i had to click the

7:27

other ten tweets i've make a conscious choice

7:30

yes you'll see another to have an outdoor

7:32

hands that in a he

7:35

, of the let's make scrolling finite

7:37

again after after

7:39

this is he just sick of talking about

7:42

it because i think a lot of people regret people because

7:44

everyone keeps requesting everyone about

7:47

a spike or guy the can we thought money into your

7:49

of the guy who of as i don't know if i

7:51

say mommy not very big imagine but i bet

7:54

it comes on the about more than idea how

7:57

we more introduced as he only has

7:59

he introduced

7:59

now

8:00

could he be some in a cottage

8:02

actually i even keep

8:05

, until he stops snowing

8:09

you can present he says as a study

8:11

where people given bowl of soup

8:13

until to eat as much as they one and then some

8:15

of the both refill constantly

8:17

from underneath and sumner don't

8:19

lay out that results and sound the people who

8:21

have the both aretha constantly the

8:23

magic both eight seventy percent more

8:25

safe and they don't even know that they've it so

8:28

it is like really addicts

8:30

of saying

8:30

hi i'm he says it's not like

8:32

the fairytale you know with a with a

8:35

we have an implicit one where you have an infinite number

8:37

of you in the bag and is always

8:39

caught coins that

8:41

was presented to us as children

8:43

as the kind of triumphant

8:45

story fact that the tragic story really

8:48

exactly easier and ruin this ruin this

10:18

know it is of at the very first sensation

10:21

now if it's any consolation to anyone

10:23

never really been kind of luminaries to these it's

10:26

hard to know that much at the moment

10:28

bought this looked at from seventy two thousand

10:30

people the ages of ten and

10:32

ac en el somehow my son

10:35

is son social social this so this to visit the about

10:37

his social media makes you unhappy

10:40

and then they asked how satisfies they

10:42

were with their lives that are now ten year old answer

10:44

that question but they did and earn

10:46

it basically found that there was a goldilocks

10:49

so most people if

10:51

they're using these things moderately

10:54

leaving social media mode early that pretty much

10:56

okay people who are it way

10:58

way way too much at the end the

11:00

end they tend to be you know

11:02

how much moorings i see more unhappiness

11:04

but also

11:05

the other end

11:08

people aren't really using social media at all

11:10

the money no

11:12

sign of then they're

11:15

also more i didn't have you would make sense your and

11:17

really like your and teenage years and that's

11:19

old your friends are communicating and

11:21

then you're gonna excluded from it is very good washington

11:23

post these about parent

11:24

to restrict

11:26

their kids from having phones and

11:28

is a really weird peace class think it's meant to be

11:30

about how phones a bouncer teenagers

11:32

11:43

spring from things i don't know about been known

11:45

any of the

11:45

he heard the same pace i think

11:47

they are a bit more equivocal they said they could

11:49

see a couple of advantages third as well

11:51

the end of the p c round love with one

11:54

of the hell saying was yeah i guess

11:55

the okay i won't have been way in which you can do

11:58

in isolation

11:59

you know the real question is

12:02

if your entire school didn't have a

12:04

phone oh and we retire friend circle and

12:06

your family how would you like be different yeah

12:08

so you can but if you're turning these

12:11

children who don't use iphones into pariahs

of could get excited to get affidavit

12:15

filed death

12:16

i know i always thought were trump's only

12:19

until

12:19

that's why my friend wanted to do this experiment's

12:21

yeah were entire towns

12:24

and make them smartphone free

15:40

okay it's time for fast

15:42

number two and is as

15:45

is hop and nineteen thirty one the usa

15:48

launched an aircraft carrier it's

15:50

else could fly static

15:53

the transposes in size another

15:56

go flying aircraft carrier aircraft

15:58

carrier especially

15:59

all fan with not know

16:02

that i was a more soviet thing the metro scare

16:04

the heck us carrier would have a i am

16:07

so this was an ash it was the us

16:09

navy launched in nineteen thirty one

16:11

as cool the uss akron and

16:14

it was an airship so that's a ship with

16:16

a rigid frame blimps

16:18

a the if you're picturing

16:21

it slightly ryan's yeah yeah it's

16:23

an airship yeah oh

16:25

, sorry that you when you went to the description of know

16:27

you're a middleman and a i always little

16:29

fuss over i got the site i've been listening to a

16:32

pocket go black book was right all

16:34

about aviation mishaps

16:36

and couldn't surveys and everything in between

16:39

ah and so the the akron

16:41

with i ship and it was was

16:44

enormous and at lord's that

16:46

he one crashed and ninety thirty three ah

16:48

and the main selling feature

16:51

that the the thing the navy interested

16:53

in was that it designed to be able to carry

16:55

small fighter small of

16:57

these planes good sparrowhawk switch when i

17:00

think small little biplanes

17:02

that but good fit in at least three

17:04

of the amount of of can be revealing to that can fit him five

17:06

the idea was that us is acro would fly

17:08

overhead lower a little hook

17:11

from which the fighter plane is dangling

17:14

just retract the hook plane flies

17:16

off and unit months israeli flights

17:18

and then they fly back snag onto

17:21

the hook once again and retracted

17:23

into the belly of asset did the actually

17:25

really good at nine say ground games like

17:27

as if it doesn't say it am it heard

17:29

she i quite precise when we didn't have

17:31

worse i'm at

17:34

so it works that at could deploy

17:36

these planes i think the hook facility

17:39

did work but that the i'm in the

17:41

river the reason we're not using a business of basically

17:43

what's that assets obviously went very

17:45

far out of fashion this lasted two years before a crash

17:47

that killed over seventy people including one

17:50

of the main for as

17:52

ship development and expansion so that

17:54

it would be as a minute and what we all know you

17:56

know the assets that a bit of a rough ride the as

17:58

well as a parent carrier the month ago i get

18:01

yeah i can let me that we have i'm

18:03

struck with affected the

18:05

t proponent for airships guys

18:07

in the destruction of the

18:09

airship as kind of model for dealing

18:11

with that inventors

18:14

captain goes down with

18:16

the ship model and math yeah yeah it is

18:18

only i really was easier for her make

18:20

sense of the hundreds ,

18:22

vs images is a is a is

18:24

a famous dick gregory joke i am helps

18:26

us with the gregory are easy i have that i'd

18:29

amazing he's six hundred characters

18:31

he talked ponies in the army army

18:33

cool nature's to many five dollars he

18:35

still had no idea they would it with now

18:38

i know why the captain goes down with the ship ah

18:43

i'm an inequity guy isn't

18:45

it years out of the modern day

18:47

that guy of and the way when i

18:49

read said on his like way sorry i

18:51

thought

18:52

why it ventral the of one of the big

18:54

cycling company has a hundred the identity of the

18:56

actual event yeah no i was sort of the guys

18:59

miss her eyebrows miss hearing the word segue

19:01

i really thought you could say we have

19:03

you know as an of the segway with

19:05

the covers i just wanna go out , night

19:08

here's an affair as as guide

19:10

halfway through try to i also i also

19:13

a he was impaled on he was

19:16

just as i said

19:20

just one of the thing about the accurate one of the

19:22

other features that has a divorce isn't unique to

19:24

it this was actually a thing that have been invented a couple of

19:26

decades before on other assets at a spy

19:28

basket as it does read about this

19:31

as , observation boss guess that hangs

19:33

beneath the body of the airship nine

19:35

the principal was as you're flying

19:37

your asset but you want to be a observing

19:40

the ground but discreetly as you have the obviously huge

19:43

so the idea was you hide the asp in the cloud

19:45

low the spy basket on a on

19:47

a cable a for several

19:50

hundred meters in some cases and

19:52

there was someone sitting in this my boss get who

19:54

watches the ground can

19:56

radio backup tell the toby aspx

19:58

itself wet ago or

19:59

the nearing the target or whatever fun and

20:02

the aggro have one of these

20:03

them it was a disaster

20:06

they were tested one with sand bags

20:08

and as

20:15

it was so unstable this i'm

20:18

a little observation basket that not swaying

20:20

in the wind on this great long cable right sweet

20:22

so much that it swayed up to the equator

20:24

level of the entire ash and co

20:27

, you out know i'm yeah

20:31

that'd be fun it'd be like that right theme

20:33

to yeah

20:36

it would have really really really lot

20:39

of my side i needed i they were hiding and clouds

20:41

because we know is the speed of a cloud

20:44

like you'd have to mean heinous be right so

20:46

you them turned out on the could also go

20:48

with the clouds and have to the cloud might not

20:50

be flying towards your bombing target yeah

20:53

well we have well different the

20:55

clouds the country know it

20:57

only works in overcrowded areas

20:59

to right so you're limited sure what it clear that

21:02

military operation yeah northern and

21:05

you know parts of the yeah yeah

21:07

here's the yeah that manchester can't

21:10

do without giving them that much why not just

21:12

the scholars the blimp just the scholars why

21:15

i thrive on some floss

21:19

and why that that is your background right it's

21:22

all this up speaking of appealing myself

21:24

and attention yeah why

21:26

did the internet people call the place where they store

21:28

all your most valuable knowledge

21:31

and data the cloud mn yeah

21:33

all of the metaphor this

21:35

is the worse or you're right yes a

21:37

cloud is a flighty plane

21:39

fly through them all the time clouds are routinely

21:42

violated in ,

21:44

air that to that ephemeral they

21:46

are totally a number that's the thing

21:49

that we're going to call it call class or all been there

21:51

are many people are seeing what's the we

21:53

want metaphor safe place we put your

21:55

data the it was yeah

21:57

somebody says yeah bank in

22:00

some of his son who now regrets that as

22:03

a half hour until among the group whose

22:05

like called , the cloud the i

22:07

mean i guess i should sort of the paper bag

22:09

why to say say

22:12

of nothing images it's unbelievable

22:14

feel so right that's lindsay the negative

22:16

connotations isn't that a very temporary

22:19

oh and likes them and i would

22:22

say oh thank god it's a cloudy day and

22:26

he that military planes generally you

22:29

and sort of ask questions and

22:31

questions didn't talk about the soviet night which

22:33

is never on this

22:34

okay

22:36

i know that these they were eighth

22:38

all female escutcheon and world war two

22:40

and say i think

22:42

it was one woman you

22:44

know sort of pitch to

22:46

clinton said

22:48

modify them planes they food is incredibly

22:50

light plane to their mates five very very low

22:53

as dangerous they're made of just plywood

22:55

and canvas that they have to be soleil

22:57

so they couldn't have any armor

23:00

they can nominee parachute something like that like

23:02

that women that she just to the map and compass

23:04

up in these planes and the key

23:06

and the reason lance be so light was cause

23:09

they could stall i think quite a long

23:11

way from their targets and sort of drift

23:14

close the saga was month

23:15

the very quiet but

23:17

, are they were the what sorry what they have a

23:19

voice finds a bonafide blinds and

23:22

could be of our planet are gonna be like yeah i

23:24

mean and her not letting on have a parish out as

23:26

a reply reply chi been

23:28

so there was some way the parachute overheard

23:30

is very leonard to be as a very light

23:32

very has won both you i

23:34

give me a power to with as we saw the photos

23:37

and , league the homeless from the

23:40

and then it to they don't twenty three thousand tons of bombs

23:42

in the woolas

23:44

the weird thing is that name the night

23:46

which is your brother can sell an older sources

23:48

even by the say this that that

23:50

they whoop their names and which is by the

23:52

germans atherton saxon

23:55

and was apparently they named

23:57

than that because of the sounds a maze because

24:00

they quiet they just washing like

24:02

a broomstick spot though apparently

24:04

we are to believe that they will see

24:06

called the night which is because of that

24:08

and that's complete current

24:09

you know is i'm on that site when

24:12

daisy said in ninety nine problems

24:14

a bit saying one was about his dog

24:18

no he's not really

24:20

that you , know

24:22

don't know i'm probably going to another my i just

24:24

i'm i'm canada about women's but

24:26

my dog source a

24:29

only serves as

24:30

the difference between jay z and

24:32

the nazis here is that it doesn't have

24:34

to the nazis can see it as a planes

24:37

i would have known that

24:38

that woman find them with the nazis call

24:40

them network

24:40

yeah they named

24:41

yeah

24:44

and i got to where they consume

24:46

come to that the women's clothes for the they didn't have

24:48

any

24:48

that of pilot place women

24:50

i they tore their bedding and stuff the

24:52

into the shoes they will so they would fit was

24:54

a while hear about were

24:56

like and always enough and buy me a car in wellington

24:59

the for firstly aca we

25:01

have to us by that

25:02

you know you're trying to drive earth and the

25:05

instrument in know very comfortable says

25:07

i'm surprised i'm us anything

25:08

true and of when did you last i think

25:11

our when i say like when

25:13

, noticed the one detail in the summer is a good

25:15

run to is the fact that they didn't have comfortable

25:17

shoes i would have in

25:20

midst of problems is them and house flying

25:22

over enemy territory surrounds this

25:24

instance the kansas airplane this airplane

25:28

this side this the chance

25:31

of being killed gruesome late first

25:34

problem sixty second processing

25:36

i that goes beyond summer because you know when

25:38

humans have a bigger from but you cannot depends on how

25:40

you've got a how in your your

25:43

attention a very many with a sense

25:45

of having must make a proper the of actually earlier this

25:48

month or something is wrong here as month or summer

25:50

winter when i was doing

25:53

i'm one

25:56

of these it i was struck by all over

25:58

again is what these pilots

25:59

when in a second world war is just

26:02

in retrospect completely

26:04

unbelievable what we estimate

26:07

what you mean the danger with

26:09

are you a disaster seemingly

26:11

us with you take a twenty

26:13

year old kid put

26:15

him through x number of

26:17

months of training fly him over to

26:20

his americans slime over to europe and

26:22

he goes on these missions were statistically

26:25

the chance of surviving years

26:27

herm

26:28

your who are zero he know

26:30

they know the death rates right there now and

26:32

year up at twenty thousand seat where freezing

26:35

cold many planes are not

26:37

pressurized or he did

26:39

or your ear the

26:43

bombardier is sitting in this little thing that's

26:45

exposed to air german

26:47

fighters are coming at any suspects that

26:50

the the all didn't have ptsd as a starting to

26:52

me i mean is there are the know you

26:54

do you do your he do a twelve

26:56

hour or whatever mission over germany

26:58

you fly back to some freezing cold

27:01

you know unheeded airbase in some of the south

27:04

of england you get four hours sleep

27:06

and then you do it again yeah yeah and you keep

27:08

doing it for like we i mean

27:09

recruited think insane

27:11

the me that this yeah yeah this is what

27:13

we were i mean maybe they did many

27:15

only a twenty year old

27:17

up with that kind of fun and ,

27:20

that was but planes the

27:22

importance the planes had particularly in world war

27:25

two pretty staggering so

27:27

at one point during thirty nineteen to nineteen

27:29

forty five am ally factories

27:31

were building six hundred and thirty three

27:33

thousand aircraft in that time to

27:35

they were pumping them out at two hundred and eighty

27:37

hundred and per day and

27:40

this was a they would just trying to work

27:42

out how do we how do we come

27:44

up with a new kind of plane that's going

27:46

to just be the game changer in this war soaps

27:48

in this period as well two hundred fifty

27:51

new designs were all kills

27:53

us and sloan just to see whether or not

27:55

they could get one over on the enemy

27:57

and it was one plane in particular which

27:59

was the p that the one mustang which

28:01

was the absolute game changer during war

28:04

i when was and snow defying the american

28:06

started flying that in over germany not with

28:08

the moment where basically the realized

28:11

they were gonna lose the war during set

28:13

himself he said when i saw the mustangs over berlin

28:16

i need the jig was up

28:17

yeah you're like i don't like say

28:19

28:25

, he oh spaghetti oh oh

28:29

really susan we got you have you going

28:32

right now that i'm not that the other qualities and

28:34

other brain going

28:37

in was ssssss are

28:39

today hailing ourselves of a test your

28:42

record for every time you said that said sincerely

28:45

atlanta about

28:46

one of the orient phrase and mobile to

28:49

was specifically for the in touch of interrupting

28:51

one of his speeches so it wasn't the third zuni

28:53

bombing anything this the nineteen forty three and

28:55

it was a huge feet and bolland commemorate

28:57

ten years fit the being in power and

28:59

going with gonna make this big keynote speech on

29:02

the planet to fly a bunch of mosquitoes

29:04

through the clouds above really

29:06

really near to them

29:07

sign the basically want to see

29:09

to think broadcast it would take up the sound

29:11

of the rf that of attacking the world

29:14

junior this eleven an animal

29:17

lover mosquitoes unbelievable planes

29:19

will say though made upload and they were made los

29:21

about hop into england

29:24

yeah yeah phillippe on robbie that some of so

29:26

much when this happened and and the cause his speech

29:29

because they thought the sounds really bad now he's using

29:31

and of us invasion you know said something

29:33

like a com believes his bloody brits

29:35

got seven carpenters and like peace please

29:37

and they're out of country and we can't

29:39

do anything like era

29:41

the young devito anything about the jake

29:43

and where he thought it might be whether this

29:46

is else has

29:49

biggest

29:53

i'm like i read this other thing as well just

29:56

going back to psychology of of the

29:58

pilots that were being used that that was series

30:00

of spy planes as is in the sixties is a

30:02

bit later i'm the blackbird

30:04

we've spoken about before in the so in the a twelve

30:06

and these room like high flying

30:09

spy planes that they really

30:11

really didn't how people a mouse and there's

30:13

a rumor that went around with quite a few historians

30:15

of substantiated said was truth is

30:17

that during the interview process they would

30:19

only hire pilots who were married

30:22

so that they had the reason to

30:24

come back

30:25

because they had they had a bunch of defectors

30:28

at this point has , right palm

30:30

as as as to how was married to

30:32

say i value you could have says

30:35

the other way

30:43

okay fine for fact number three and

30:45

that is my facts my fact with week

30:47

is that there is marathon in new york

30:49

that takes so long to complete runners

30:51

can go through up to twenty pairs of shoes

30:54

while they're trying to run its and

30:56

the old is it to the not say i don't

30:58

remember i didn't think about yes

31:01

this is an amazing thing i'm

31:03

and your mouth i'm you're a new york episode

31:05

one as had ever had heard

31:07

of i have one and run and

31:09

run as soon as self three

31:12

thousand one hundred mile race it's

31:14

as it's a race that goes round a block

31:17

in new york so in

31:19

total if he ran around the spot distances

31:22

point five four miles right fucking

31:24

but to complete this myerson you need to run

31:26

around the block fi thousand six hundred

31:29

and forty nine times you've ,

31:31

fifty two days and which to complete it

31:33

and runners will start at six am in the run

31:35

all the way through to midnight so soon

31:37

average of fifty fifty

31:39

nine and half kilometers per day and

31:42

if you managed to complete

31:44

what is the longest certified marathon

31:46

in the world

31:47

the get an amazing price which is usually

31:50

either a dvd or

31:57

yes this is incredible man

31:59

malcolm have you ever

32:01

the tempted you he leave

32:03

it was i've been to the root

32:06

access just one block so your eyes in queens

32:08

i say it isn't cleaned yes way i

32:11

love strange things happen in queens data

32:14

chief among them it's lunacy

32:16

this be clear in a normal

32:18

marathon is lunacy right i

32:20

don't know i've never thought about ivy have you that i would

32:22

never is not semi is is

32:24

no part of it's some random greek

32:28

you know thousands of years ago complete

32:30

this distance die and

32:33

then that as so we've seized on

32:35

this the kind of ultimate putting the great yes

32:37

this yes this about marathon expects

32:39

me i mean i'm very very serious runners

32:42

i just find it incomprehensible

32:44

that anyone other than

32:46

a kind of elite runner would ever even it

32:49

so when you say you're there is wanna do is short

32:51

distance the ring run or more

32:53

run you know if i race or and five case

32:55

or ten gays or miles yes but the

32:57

idea of going out there for hours on end

33:00

inevitably injuring myself while preparing for

33:02

it yeah and sacrificing huge

33:04

part says my life so i can go for

33:07

twenty mile runs on the weekend notice against

33:09

sciences think those i i i

33:12

don't regret very but i do think of running a

33:14

progression towards the marathon which

33:16

i have stopped at a very out he pointed as

33:18

an i don't i'm not making any more progress

33:20

toward the marathon when in the distance as i think

33:22

it's the marathon as the end gold saucer

33:25

yes or no either five endure

33:27

ten care that eventually the american as

33:29

a or you run three thousand miles out

33:31

six had

33:34

, say over like they saw that because he i've

33:36

been in new york when there's a marathon and obviously

33:39

like anywhere else may suffer city roads

33:41

down have all sorts of people

33:43

cheering on the sides these people do that the

33:45

do it everyday around his humor

33:47

and checking them on a giant

33:49

think so again but it's a very low key

33:52

the as basic literacy table where the

33:54

that either the race headquarters is yeah

33:56

headquarters it has kept with people as i don't know if they check

33:58

if actual laps or have been hagdom allen's

34:00

emma fifty two day say i have le mans

34:03

the someone to sit there from

34:06

six first thing in the morning

34:08

night to midnight yes there's a real

34:10

hero of the storyline and like that sorry

34:12

like him i see i that trials think think

34:16

they bought like the be the importance on and

34:18

on or i find that person lawrence in the

34:20

prison doing running yeah well

34:22

as person who can be convinced to take their jobs

34:25

paused or i enjoy that and i

34:27

and a fitness they asked

34:29

him whether they're him married that's

34:32

hundred and hang out of and as bad as

34:34

well as a supplement to get away

34:36

from two days it

34:39

is it think he needs to either an old

34:41

for running see the even to enter the race

34:43

really have they done to the can the slump

34:45

done says it says up to like he says a

34:47

dirt do i can see if i was

34:49

ever good enough rather to even consider entering

34:51

this i can see it getting a bit later you

34:54

are you miss a day they catch

34:56

later his final call fifty

34:58

days to do it how can it be that as deny

35:00

yeah yeah my my running friends and i have

35:02

some we called the keep choking number mucho

35:05

he being the world's going under him and the

35:07

keep chugging number is how long

35:10

you could run with keep jokey a

35:12

good job he was running world pace and

35:14

co right everyone has everyone

35:16

in the world has actually number you could jog integral maybe

35:20

35:25

in every says they are shorter than you think

35:27

how long you know what you'll get soggy number is my

35:29

keep chugging numbers pero if i am sorry

35:31

sit is probably twelve hundred

35:33

35:39

so that the five k hop for and was

35:41

i think it's yeah the thing

35:43

here are many hundreds or thousands of people have

35:45

done it now and i

35:47

think they look at how many people over

35:49

five k in the park run at that

35:51

pace would have beaten get

35:53

soggy running his marathon pace

35:56

we're not running that the speed for twenty six

35:58

miles by yeah yeah but i never okay

35:59

and i think it's like a few

36:01

hundred people i've about

36:04

them out claire over that this and they're

36:06

serious either you be very good even keep up

36:08

the conservatives he's good he's yours

36:10

is that first episode of resisting it's nice

36:13

cause watching the marathon your schedule championship

36:16

hey these guys

36:17

the television and because they're all running

36:20

at the same pace as an illusion that

36:22

they're not running that fatten good idea

36:24

which you to resend like if you actually see them in

36:26

person it is astonishing

36:29

so hit you know they're running

36:30

or forty five mile pace

36:33

for twenty six consecutive my horses

36:36

i don't like respect for the the

36:39

achievement yeah achievement just think trying

36:41

to do it is

36:43

so if you're not ask your question is yes i

36:45

i do always find it amazing how many people that get

36:47

to do the marathon each year thirty

36:49

thousand people or of the same and i'm very

36:51

difficult directory of mexican meal

36:53

probably not i guess is is weird again

36:55

it's like to i'm you know it's a only about the goldilocks

36:58

like a social media moderate use

37:00

as good similarly study seems that

37:02

moderate exercise very good seat of this

37:04

less extreme exercise like ultra mouth

37:06

and running doesn't seem speed as a good doesn't

37:09

really concern anymore health been around if you're running

37:11

extremely long distances and people do have

37:13

42:51

nearest competitor by ten hours of

43:01

one hour a night for

43:03

, laying like

43:05

he's like i'm to member i

43:08

remembered i david brickhouse broke

43:10

off his the committee on of

43:13

the backstroke earlier

43:16

really backstroke you jump off

43:17

you dive into the water and then you surface

43:20

of a movement here broke off

43:22

realizes l actually it's faster

43:24

to swim underwater than on top

43:27

so the burqa sides

43:30

dies in and it isn't surface until

43:32

you're thirty seven as the rice and

43:34

he he breaks the world record and they eventually

43:37

ban

43:37

you actually

43:38

equip young though he realizes if there's a

43:40

flaw yeah in the way

43:43

people are yeah yeah yeah i'm just

43:45

talking about they have they have off so you said that was backstroke

43:48

right backstroke so are you

43:50

allowed to do another stroke underwater

43:52

know i i i could be wrong yeah i think you to a

43:54

dolphin kick you do the dolphin kick yeah on

he basically made the full unwatchable you're

44:42

just watching he did other a very willing to see

44:44

where and when he surfaces or yeah

44:47

he where do you do is associated with suspense

44:49

film that makes so you watch it

44:51

44:53

just like the is just of the water

44:55

48:02

this

48:08

okay it is time for final fact

48:10

with the show and that is anna

48:12

my thought this week is that given the choice

48:15

most people would prefer to win ten

48:17

million dollars rather than a hundred

48:19

billion dollars

48:21

right i'm so let's see here guys

48:24

i'm going to all of you yeah this is

48:26

a i'm a of both

48:28

are such as it's published in nature and

48:30

else eight thousand people across thirty three countries

48:33

that quite comprehensive and it said

48:35

imagine your ideal line and then

48:37

consider how much money you want to leave the

48:39

ideal life and then you've got a lottery

48:41

that you can enter

48:43

and are you the with it he got a bunch of

48:45

us race and and he probably going

48:46

it and either the lottery where the

48:49

don't ten thousand dollars says

48:51

all american but they adjusted it's a currencies

48:53

in that country's ten thousand dollars and an

48:56

increase i moved to the ten said sigma ten

48:58

thousand hundred thousand nine

49:00

ten million and the highest with a hundred billion

49:03

what would you got

49:04

the billion

49:05

you to of hundred bill yeah not

49:08

i totally i ten million

49:11

are you guys

49:13

the last

49:14

you wanna do is win one hundred billion dollars that

49:16

, like a nightmare scenario my sister

49:20

sister stand what would what if

49:23

i have that money i'd see a reference

49:25

to be like identified be suffer every

49:29

single part of your life gets more

49:31

complicated by a thousand percent

49:33

right musk is only great fall

49:36

asleep the people that they've been walk

49:38

down the street that's true but you can't do that

49:40

is your that is taking his regards

49:42

seeking his own tunnel that he won't need to go

49:45

that who has to give me more suited

49:47

more a vacuum tube along under the stories

49:49

that we can say with one hundred percent

49:51

certainty that you would be profoundly unhappy

49:54

okafor variety of reasons one

49:56

unhappy the main ones is that

49:58

the

49:58

the liberation the decisions

50:02

that you would have to make would overwhelm

50:04

you answer with money this is a

50:06

this is the cost of well threat the hidden cost

50:08

of wealth is that for most people

50:11

the decision about whether to do an activity

50:13

is whether i

50:16

can willing forty when

50:18

you have money all of a sudden

50:20

hand turn into wants

50:23

do i want to do that do

50:25

i wanna do that is a much more complicated

50:28

there's even a choice as to as endless choice

50:30

so you have nina of every decision

50:32

life that used to be

50:34

can has now turned into a want so

50:37

you are paralyzed right

50:39

now you going to have lunch after this bus right

50:41

yeah you're not gonna go have lunch claridges

50:45

are you know now why

50:48

well a number of reasons but what

50:50

is you don't want rak all of a over there

50:52

to with there's no point to spending eighty

50:54

pounds on lunch three why

50:56

do want to hang out with those people those your ah

50:59

okay i had been in one thousand dollars

51:01

since i've removed you have a driver

51:03

now css knowing any

51:05

good you can go to the airport getting

51:08

your plane and fly to skip lunch in paris

51:10

yeah when at once intense unless

51:14

, spiraled out of control every and then

51:16

you gotta let's grace as fuck

51:18

fuck shit you're getting upset after to really get a certificate

51:21

a as a descriptive as

51:23

an hour energy trying to put me off as me

51:25

as it's a nightmare

51:27

think the most kind of and

51:30

dine

51:31

choi video would have today where

51:33

to have lunch and now i've given you an

51:36

internet set of risk of options

51:38

just because you have one hundred billion yeah so can

51:40

even lunch but how

51:42

hard it hard burden of the size

51:44

what we were done is a million other things

51:46

will happen

51:47

the i'm going to chicago for every single

51:49

one of them is now but most of son thousand

51:51

for just want to use it specifically

51:53

for e bay auction so i can just make sure

51:55

i set a limit of one hundred billion have never

51:57

known as am i also had a as

51:59

a height of the dick gregory memorabilia

52:02

about i'm gonna go wildly out proportion

52:05

say if you collect city i do

52:07

like collect things yes i don't think i've i've

52:09

now removed a hundred percent of the

52:11

joy of collecting

52:12

there are no longer any can make a point you know long have to

52:14

make any decisions because by everything yeah

52:17

god he wouldn't either any of the luck crap the

52:19

have that no sane person says anyway he

52:22

because the guy

52:23

gonna go visit ,

52:25

i know i don't know but it's it is pretty interesting

52:28

what would you do andy sorry since we got the others

52:31

cause for the first hundred

52:33

that's very unusual the anything

52:36

the in the study it really peaks

52:38

at ten million so most

52:40

people asked for ten million or below

52:42

their some countries like i think russia

52:45

and india where the majority choose one million dollars

52:47

or less positive the grass

52:50

and it peaks arts ten million

52:52

and then it and then there are quite are lot of people they

52:54

still choose one hundred billion or they're not majority

52:56

so majority ranges between eight percent of in

52:59

china to thirty nine percent of people indonesia

53:01

two hundred billions of between some in hundred

53:04

billion is hardly anyone i

53:06

guess cause ten million seems to me like

53:08

like mouth i'm saying like it's kind of reasonable

53:10

amount why you

53:11

liberating i have an incredible house

53:13

and and travel and see the world a
