Hello. And Alice. Hello. I am your host Mike Hall with me today is Marsh hello and Alice so it's June already how's it June already this year has

definitely flown by it's hurtling along yeah we're only a month away from MSS 10.

Who was it who said that time gets faster as you get older?

Like someone I think it literally, it might even have been a be reasonable guest, but who literally the the theory that time is

getting faster and faster and faster which is why six weeks was ages when you were a kid

yeah now it's no time at all well I've heard someone's like time does we perceive time as

faster the older we get because it's a smaller proportion of our life as a whole yeah

exactly that's what I'm going to say I've heard that put forward is that when you're

kids six weeks is when you if you're six

six weeks is like a good third of a percent of your life yeah and that's not true if you're

60 but I'm sure I've heard that the thing on obviously bullshit obviously woo

theory that time is

actually just getting faster faster faster that may that may actually

genuinely be a be reasonable guess the problem is I recorded a lot of

be reasonable interviews in February and I'm still living off those

interviews so I can't remember what was said for some of those interviews so that may well
