Now for years, if I ate a stupid meal or had a dessert, I would excuse myself to the bathroom and I would do bathroom stall squats.
Ken BerryHOST
I learned this from Tim Ferriss from his book, The 4-Hour Body years ago.
Ken BerryHOST
And that does work, that will lower your blood sugar.
Ken BerryHOST
But what if you're stuck at that table, stuck at the desk, you can't get up and go to the restroom and do restroom stall squats.
Tim FerrissGUEST
But nonetheless, I've been doing this a long time.
Tim FerrissGUEST
It was in The 4-Hour Body in 2010, so there you have it.
Tim FerrissGUEST
But I'll do cold immersion, so 40 degrees at, say, three to five minutes.
Tim FerrissGUEST
Nothing, nothing too incredibly long.
Kate WillettHOST
Like Tim Ferriss, who we talked about last week on our... episode about one taste.
Kate WillettHOST
I don't know if you'll hear this before or after, but, you know, anyways, Tim Ferriss is the guy who got really famous for the book, The Four-Hour Workweek, and then later The Four-Hour Body, and it's just kind of a bro podcaster that is very much in this tech scene, but I don't think he's a tech person himself.
Kate WillettHOST
He called Ashton Brunner the Nostradamus of AI and said, quote, that he was as close to clairvoyant as you could possibly be.
Kate WillettHOST
Okay, this guy is clairvoyant, But, yeah, he obviously wasn't able to predict something that is pretty obvious.
Ally MachateGUEST
And even Seth Godin, who is also a very well-known, best-selling worldwide author and a marketing expert, chimed in with a comment on the blog saying that he too is seeing a similar pattern with his work.
Ally MachateGUEST
So, you know, the whole article was pretty terrifying for a lot of people, because on the one hand, he was pointing out that there is now a certain type of book, a certain category of book, which he himself says is what his books are, particularly the first two, The Four-Hour Workweek and The Four-Hour Body.
Ally MachateGUEST
The Four-Hour Body is what we call a lookup table style of book.
Ally MachateGUEST
And the four-hour workweek was very information-based.
Ally MachateGUEST
So he felt, he theorizes, hypothesizes that based on what he's seeing and what some other people are seeing, that there is a category of how-to books, information-based books, expert-led books, that is now dying or dead because of the rise of AI.
