Summary

Humans are naturally lazy, we seek ease, comfort and minimal expenditure for maximum return, the issue is this can be counter productive in our modern world.

Its a different one this one, enjoy...

With hay fever, you just need stronger drugs, mate.

0:43.1

We're having a very interesting debate in, I'm sure many people are aware of a piece

0:49.8

of software now called Slack. Many businesses use it to communicate. I, our business uses

0:55.8

it to communicate as a team, and we're having a discussion in Slack this morning before

1:00.2

our team meeting where we were talking about how certain supplements are taken by certain

1:07.4

1:22.3

steal your thunder.

1:23.3

Yeah, so I noticed this like years ago when everyone was taking Jack 3D, so anyone who

1:28.8

doesn't remember the original Jack 3D recipe, Jack 3D was a pre-workout supplement that
