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
8:50
a fairytale version of infinite scrolling that
8:53
sir another of those guys just in rosenstein

9:16
recently he changed

10:14
night vision on his phone as ssl not

a fan and still mad at ya
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
and it's great to restrict than the all the kids
11:34
interviewed say
11:36
it's horrible it's don't i thought communicate
11:38
with my son that and will kind of plants are making
11:41
their lot of conversations of conversations which
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
12:13
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
12:26
zones and see what happens on the solitaire
12:29

12:36
her movement on them out and pass on to
12:38
friends and , get it going okay
12:41

members i knew the suffers as an actual he
12:47
the measurable physical harm suddenness
12:50

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
i would say they do a happy is
28:22
he wouldn't have known the phrase the biggest he
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
you her right if
35:22
it's always the rule of i could soak
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
me i'm pretty good
35:36
i wish i were in the sound related to this
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

42:51
nearest competitor by ten hours of

apply for the sleeping maybe
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
43:56
then they'll figure it out to run on be
43:59
allowed to be on your front
43:59

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
and then you can see it is
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
53:16
worse and actually one hundred million is a life deforming
53:18
or has substantially des moines amount of money on on
53:20
your friend that hundred billion yen of yeah having
53:24
a bit and i guess is it is a pill
53:26
that is that out of the other i was outside
53:29
a get out of the hell kind of this feature
53:32
