The CDP // Ep33: Back Yet?
00:04.98
Usman Nurmagomedov
And we’re back baby believe it or not I’m walking on there I never thought I could be so free flying or what you know that song classic absolute banga. But the the old Fa for early 2000 s
00:22.68
aneeqekhan1
I’ve heard that before for sure.
00:24.63
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, need a need to give it a player forgot the name of the band. So it’s a shit reference but it was jemer in primary school days in particular, you would do your like term monthly or termly concerts and like everyone would be invited to school at like five thirty and you would like.
00:48.39
aneeqekhan1
Ah.
00:41.13
Usman Nurmagomedov
Everyone would bring like their best flaming shirts or their best bloody mambo shirts and then you’ll do like an hour of dancing but my school didn’t let boys and girls touch each other so you couldn’t yeah anyway, so that was one of the bangers there and little bit of backstreet boys. But yes, so good to be back. My brother. How are you being muddy.
01:01.37
aneeqekhan1
I’ve been good I’ve been good I mean I’ve been. There’s another song that goes that been dancing on my own so you know been dancing on my own That’s it. It’s it is for.
01:01.56
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, is that is that it’s a good way to put it for your current state of affairs.
01:14.98
aneeqekhan1
I mean if we want to get into that like I’ve got a whole kind of worm if we can get into that look. Let’s just say when I say been dancing with myself. It’s been kind of like dancing with myself and then you know hey and Dan Sneaky and you know you never know.
01:24.76
Usman Nurmagomedov
So we’re just talking about before the ah yeah, getting our beaks wet again because we really haven’t even chatted between us for a while like we’ve both been pretty busy and been doing the damn thing you came up and visited Coffs Harbour just before Christmas but we’re talking about sort of a good little focus again for the both of us on training and. Getting like some good systems put in place where we’re kind of tracking you know the workouts and um, you know upper body splits generally upper and the lower but also focusing on. Um you know strength and eye pertrophy which has been really fascinating and I’ve just noticed that like they’re not They’re not mutually exclusive right? Like as you start to train in a way where you want to build muscle. For example, you’re you know you’re going about 70% to the 10 to 12 Rep Mark you do get stronger as well. So when you do go for like your heavy sets or maybe your heavy days when you’re looking you know and for a couple of reps your weight increases. So. It’s not like. You you train for muscle and you don’t get stronger too like I find that really fascinating and the same with conditioning as well. Like if you ever do like a drop set or if you do like a high rep set on maybe 3 to 4 max weight like if you are in training strong for your bench press. For example.
02:47.66
aneeqekhan1
It really does he really does and it’s ah you know at the end of the day you gotta mix it up and you know switch it up and keep keep coming back for that biscuit. You know the thing is I find that I always get a little bored and a little demotivated after a while.
02:37.77
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, you can do twenty Twenty five reps on that on that light stuff. Kitty stuff easy days. So I feel like that that correlates well with life as well.
02:53.17
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, pro.
03:06.63
aneeqekhan1
So I always feel like I need to switch up something you know switch up so gives me something a new challenge. Really I mean you could do the keep doing the same basics for rest of your life and you’re being in great shape and there’s not denying it but you know I think they gets to a point where your muscle even stops like you know heat a plateau because that your. Muscles know exactly what to do? How to do it. Your brain knows exactly what to do and how to do it and how to do it most effectively without wasting energy and causing any damage to the microfibers of the muscle that you need to you know grow. That’s why I think always mixing up your training. It’s always kind of good for both mentally and physically um. 2.
03:38.75
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, and I’m not I feel like I need I need that to keep my habits going as well like I for most things in life like if I don’t give that little bit of variety to myself then I tend to um. You know motivation goes away pretty quick like ah generally there’s like a baseline motivation of like why you want to do it. But um, the habit starts to get less and less important for me. Yeah, if I if I’m training constant I think that’s because we’ve been training for long enough now where it’s sort of nothing’s overly new I still love like 1 of my favorite things is getting. Seeing a new exercise or an exercise we haven’t done for a long time and for some reason I discarded and then doing it and then kind of getting learning it again and feeling like a bit of a rookie like that I feel like that’s a mad feeling and that’s one really clever way even introducing like a split squat into my leg day like made me excited for leg day again, you know what? I mean I used to never do those. So.
04:31.35
aneeqekhan1
Yes, yeah. Yeah, yeah for sure at the of the day I actually did something similar I was like oh you know,? um before the lockdown I was um, my one of my goals for last goals were for last years was to become a fitness goals I should say was.
04:30.92
Usman Nurmagomedov
I Feel like that’s a good little good little trick to um to do the same sort of thing to keep yourself going I guess.
04:56.70
aneeqekhan1
Become really good at my pullups and before the lockdown initial lockdown hit in Sydney I was like I was I was like doing like 10 reps twentyny kilo plate pushup pullups right? and that was the strongest pullup and like if anyone’s ever done pull-ups you know that those damn things are hard I than this I was to be able to 20 kilos I was pretty impressed. And then looked onhi I just totally disregarded it I was like forget about pullups what who wouldn’t need to pull up any It’s not like I’m going to be hanging you off the bridge. So I disregarded those and I just went back to them. Yeah I went back to them the day I was like oh like I forgot these were good like you know, just it was good I was like oh I’m so shit at these let me.
05:18.89
Usman Nurmagomedov
You got to be jumping.
05:34.67
aneeqekhan1
Ah let’s get back up. Let’s get back up and at this again so it’s always nice to have that you know, um, little little push. You know what? I’ll tell you what it’s like you know, remember those merry go round rides right. Back in the days you know when you so jump on it jump off it and you spin it around and you spin it around and you jump on it. Yeah yeah, those spinny rides so it’s like you know when you first push it or push it. You have to kind of run around it run around it and then after that once you’re going, you know you on the go.
05:49.94
Usman Nurmagomedov
Like in the playgrounds. Yeah yep, yep Yep yep.
06:06.57
aneeqekhan1
Kind of just quickly step off just do a little push here and there and then keep moving I think that’s what it’s ah training is like you know sometimes you need to so put your foot off the of the wheel and you know just give a loop nudge and a push and then you keep the ball rolling Otherwise ah you know otherwise ah the it’ll stop. Going your own The planet will stop going around.
06:22.19
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, you’re and you remember what it’s like your body and your brain and everything remembers What it was like to be back there? Um, and you know particularly if Covid Sometimes you you put the weight plate on your own belly without even realizing so you don’t need the plate or.
06:49.40
aneeqekhan1
1
06:39.32
Usman Nurmagomedov
You know maybe I’ve gone back to because of my shoulder injury I not quite as strong as I used to be but I’ve gone back to doing the assisted pull-ups on the platform. Um, really just been focusing on getting that full stretch and like that good control through the pull-up and thely when I do my free weight ones like I definitely am. Definitely I’m getting getting back to where I was before. But yeah, it’s such a there’s um I feel like it’s probably the most difficulty even like a really heavy squat I can I can get pretty close to what my max was even if I don’t do it for a long time but like pullups just they disappear so quickly like that body weight stuff the old faithfulful um Pushups like.
07:15.91
aneeqekhan1
Is.
07:23.50
aneeqekhan1
I’ll tell you what really goes for 3 things I’ve noticed pull Ups Dead Lifts and bench press goes like you know yeah goes goes quicker than you know my good mates relationships.
07:17.65
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, gone go so fast.
07:24.91
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, bench press Definitely ah.
07:39.77
aneeqekhan1
The good talent of the good ways.
07:34.53
Usman Nurmagomedov
Sell it to those good mates I think with Pull-ups if you are sorry with Deadlifts if you can the mental part of that initial lift. That’s sometimes the hardest bit I think you can sometimes remember that you need a push through that so you can still do a decent weight. But.
07:54.90
aneeqekhan1
Yeah I tell ah I tell you what it is. Maybe it’s different for me because I work a desk desk job right? if I if I stop deadlifting which at the moment I’m I’m willing to admit that I’m you know I’m neglecting them.
07:50.31
Usman Nurmagomedov
You feel like your back is just going to cave in and your hands like I lose my grip strength really fast. And yeah, yeah, it’s just a nightmare. But. Yeah.
08:12.26
aneeqekhan1
And because it’s ah it’s ah it’s a loop right? It’s a cycle. What happens is like sitting down deteriorates your back like nothing else in this world I mean sure we we all know humans aren’t designed to sit for fucking 8 hours a day but you know we do it anyway. Um, but you know it really does and then.
08:16.21
Usman Nurmagomedov
Big time. A.
08:30.62
aneeqekhan1
Over the years I’ve just noticed my back deteriorate and deter it I mean there was there was a time and younger days as well and my muscles weren’t and mature I was like dead lifting 6580 at point and that maybe that’s why I that’s why my back is fucked but you know i. I think there’s ah, there’s a solid aspect of it just deteriorates the muscles of my lower back from just sitting down all day long.
08:38.65
Usman Nurmagomedov
Snap city.
08:48.90
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah I did um the last two weeks my supervisor was on annual leave. So I I was spending like a lot more time driving on course than I normally do so I did like thirty plus hours both weeks of driving and sitting in that position. Um, and would’d stand up and yeah, know, sit back down and serve people and talk to people whatever else, but like that constant being in that seated shortened position like because I haven’t been in a desk for about 3 years like my knee pain started to come back like my hips are really tight I was stretching them this morning like I’d lost. Been doing like this mobility routine with my hips and I sort of regressed a little bit I’m like yeah this thisit is like you know when they say that sitting is the no smoking like it’s this There’s some real truth to that like you know I’m I’m pretty sure you’re not breath ited bloody rat poison. But you know yeah you are you feel you feel.
09:36.10
aneeqekhan1
All hundred percent
09:48.68
aneeqekhan1
Oh it really does and I’ll tell you what’s really interesting Actually if you when I came up to coffs Saber right? My back was like I actually did a Dj geek right? and the table that they gave me was a piece of ship table right? It was really low.
09:41.13
Usman Nurmagomedov
Bit unhealthy like you it makes you feel like you’re something’s you’re aging it. It feels like it ages you I think that’s what I’m noticing. Ah.
10:04.84
aneeqekhan1
I spent like 4 hours like bending over my desk at 10 tables anyway. So I didn’t notice that and and then I went on and then pushed ahead with my dead lifts and then went and went to work and sat down for 8 hours after that drove for another 5 hours the next day. My back was ah you know there was few other things in there as well. The next day my back was just like.
10:02.16
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
10:24.11
aneeqekhan1
Dead and you remember because I you helped me stretch and stuff and then that almost took and actually I’m kind of surprised I actually thought that I will kind of accepted my faith there I was like this is gonna go on for rest of my life and I’m gonna be 1 of those people with chronicle pain and it it took about two weeks and I went to this this time. A.
10:21.52
Usman Nurmagomedov
The.
10:31.69
Usman Nurmagomedov
Big time I.
10:42.83
aneeqekhan1
Like Thai specialty massage place when I a specialty I mean like they were like medical specialists. So I know people with jeopy jumping the gun there. So you know there’s some specialties there but I’ve talked about like a physio One of those physios Thai people and ah you know this this this dude.
10:40.10
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, cool. Ah, ah.
11:00.45
aneeqekhan1
Freaking ripped into my back and I walked out I was more pain than ever before and then yeah, my low back I was in more pain than ever before I went to bed the next morning I woke up I was like oh holy shit ever since then my back’s actually been way better I don’t know what changed but it’s made much better.
10:59.63
Usman Nurmagomedov
Like your your lower back? yeah.
11:18.15
aneeqekhan1
So time.
11:10.70
Usman Nurmagomedov
So good. Yeah, like obviously when when you’re um, you’re sitting like that like your hip flexes are in a shortened position and then your your lower back is in like an extended lengthened position and because you are in those positions for a period of time I think. Your body just like your body just has to compensate by um, like alloting its resources to the surrounding muscles and so if you can get someone to. Push into like they normally a really good massage or some remedium massage or a sports massage and release that muscle. It’ll start to lengthen and shorten again really well instead of just being in that contractor position. It’s almost like you get a shortborn cricket and you’re like really tense and you’re sort of blocking you get used to it. Well, it’s like you get a couple of drives out. Off stumps and you start to free your hands up and you start moving really well again and you’re not always shorten like that I think it’s actually the body’s way of preparing itself for that situation being bunkered up but you so obviously spend too long like that and then everything gets all clamped and tight like I’ve been. Ah, little bit laps on my massages I was doing a monthly for so long and I actually have one on Thursday I’m really excited for. But yeah I think that’s like if you’re exercising particularly yeah if you do something like that where you find yourself in in that sort of pain like a good massage. There’s really not much better. Um.
12:38.33
aneeqekhan1
Oh for sure I mean a while ago I was used to get a massage when I was straight like before Covid hit because I was like I was training a lot at that before because I was doing Mma and then still training like weightlifting. Um.
12:37.21
Usman Nurmagomedov
You know and then it.
12:54.98
aneeqekhan1
Ah, tell you what the Mma with some jijitsu and some weightlifting there’s like that’s some deadly combination. No for your body only but because you still have that so raw strength that other people even though their technique maybe is excels yours at times you know that Raw strength though. So. It’s pretty good. And ah, um, and I was training a lot and like I was finding like I was having like a lot I was like always in some sort of pain. Not necessarily like bad kind of pain but I was always just sore so I started getting like massage and like cupping. Yeah.
13:08.50
Usman Nurmagomedov
So got a yeah.
13:21.59
Usman Nurmagomedov
A lot of jujitsu guys don’t like to lift weights as well. So once you get a bit of foundational technique like your strength really starts to starts to do really well. But yeah, sorry continue. That’s so true.
13:34.30
aneeqekhan1
Yeah, yeah, and um, and and that’s that’s what I found I was like at first like I was getting beat up every single day and then eventually I started like pickeking up some technique and then especially with the like my game was super weak like I could kind of protect myself on like on the once we were on like down. Even though I’d get choked out eventually but it was more so like um this on like with Mma like how much how long I could stand on my feet because like before they I they got I got taken down or I took like you know hit the ground eventually. So my that my standing game was pretty weak unless until like it became good. Um.
13:57.37
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, fuck.
14:13.21
aneeqekhan1
And like realize like training a lot of legs and stuff it was becoming harder for people to actually take you down like even if they use a good technique sometimes Raw strength was just like like technique sometimes literally wasn’t enough against like raw strength at times at times. Yeah.
14:14.40
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah. Yeah,, that’s it like particularly like a single or a double leg like you’re relying on a hinge moment movement. So you’re relying on strong glutes strong hamstrings to help keep you up and so yeah, yeah, if you’re dead lifting if you’re doing leg curls like you’re doing those movements.
14:32.46
aneeqekhan1
So.
14:39.39
aneeqekhan1
Um, yeah, it.
14:38.37
Usman Nurmagomedov
Then it takes them a bit longer because you’re able to meet their force. So um and that’s super transslatable as like literally that movement that you’re doing to ah shoot your hips away from a takedown is literally what you do if you’ are you know doing an Rdl or something like that. Ah yeah, that’s where that’s where it’s like.
15:06.71
aneeqekhan1
Ah, honestly, all I feel I felt like when I was doing that I felt like this few exercises that made a huge different deadli deadlift Scotts Bench Press made the huge biggest difference for me and I actually started doing a bit of because I realized one of my biggest problems was i.
14:57.11
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, feel like some of these guys that I like destroy me as well like some of these guys that have got great technique but like if they lifted just a little bit. They have no idea. But.
15:25.33
aneeqekhan1
I was I would always get tired keeping my hands up like my hands would eventually drop so I doubled on my side lateral raises and then those those motherfuckers wouldn’t even go down instinctively. So you know it’s side Letter is because those are the muscle you’re keeping them up and like if you can actually you know opt that.
15:22.60
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, for sure. You Yeah, that’s that’s brilliant. That’s brilliant I.
15:45.80
aneeqekhan1
Up that and then kind of that became preprint. But anyway like the the more of the story was I was getting like real I was like always in some sort of pain where they was like where some dude cut into my neck with this nail or like you know muscle soreness itself. Um, so I started getting like cupping.
15:47.88
Usman Nurmagomedov
Oh.
16:01.44
aneeqekhan1
Ah, cupping done at the time and like some dry needling and some massage like that was a game changer like to be able to maintain such like six days of pretty much training and you know still be able to work full time and stuff so that was pretty insane. Probably not probably not realistic for a long time but had to come to an and at some point but. This happened to be was covered that it stopped it.
16:16.78
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, or yeah, it was a good you know I feel like this sometimes you can double down and you know sacrifice social life or when it’s time. Everyone’s working and you know take a few months to do a couple of things do some skill acquisition with a master art lift some weights and then yeah you start. Ah, life gets in the way. But if you can capitalize on like three or four months of the year doing that I feel like you know you you give yourself a good chance of coming back to it later in life and that’s um, I’m going through that a little bit with golf at the moment too where I I’ve not been playing very much but I’m like starting to really feel like I want to play again and for a period of time I was like. Not liking playing. Um that’s why actually why I stopped also at a time constraint feeding 2 and not being out of practice. So that’s the beautiful thing about like acquiring s skill like that you can come back to it later on in life and you know I’m a little bit more intu now. So I’ll be a little bit smarter with my practice and a little bit more cerebral instead of just. Trying to hit the damn thing like I’ll actually be um, you know listening to advice that I get and and um, you know watching those Youtube videos again. That’s one of my favorite things about training is just going down the Youtube rabbit hole. You know, staying away from the vaccines and staying away from uncle Joe Rogan now I never stay away from uncle Joe. He’s the best.
17:39.75
aneeqekhan1
It really is and it’s like you know and and I think you said what you said there is you actually put it I think that’s exactly kind of what I wanted to say and then I think that could be the group That’s a kind of a good point as well. It’s easier to like get back to the things that you’ve actually started.
17:31.58
Usman Nurmagomedov
But I’m staying away from that shit and then just spending 4 hours on frigging knee pain. It’s like fuck. Yeah, this is good. This is adulting.
17:57.51
aneeqekhan1
Like you know it’s ah same thing with like it’s always on back of my head to like whenever I see because you know ah I’ve never literally taken out my ah, my gloves out of my gym back right? and it’s always there just always just in my head or back on my head. It was like I gotta get back into I gotta get back into it.
18:04.89
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yeah.
18:16.20
aneeqekhan1
Ah, you know? and um I haven’t actioned it yet which is pretty poor effort on my you know behalf. But in saying that I’m a lot I so I know for sure you know, ah sometimes this year I’ll probably you know, end up going because I put that in my list too as well. And only reason I put it in my list to do because he was in my scope of things that I’ve already done and ah you know, same same thing goes and like the next time you do it, you become smarter because you’re a wiser and stuff same thing would be. You know the first time I was doing it I was just like fucking. You know, just doesn’t I don’t I just want to win that sort of beat up guys it you know it’s It’s it just.
18:46.64
Usman Nurmagomedov
I know it’s a great feeling and the first time you do something the hardest part as I say is starting and when you do something again. It’s not as hard but it’s still definitely like mentally a challenge to restart something you know in particular because you know you have to be humbled a little bit because you know you would have.
19:14.91
aneeqekhan1
Literally it really is yeah.
19:05.41
Usman Nurmagomedov
Regressed a little bit or you need you know you forget what? that feeling feels like of someone being able to have their way with you. You know what? I mean but it’s like it’s ah it’s a good feeling to come back to a like ah this is it’s a bit of familiarity and if you get a good gym like there’s the bros. You know there’s a good bro bronus to it I think as well.
19:27.92
aneeqekhan1
I’ll tell you ah I’ll tell you what the when you talk about when someone has your way with you have they has their way with you I’m not even talking about the dos that throw your on driver radoll I’m talking about the trainer who makes you does three thousand three thousand kilometers of runs.
19:24.42
Usman Nurmagomedov
Or female bronus. You know, whatever, whatever.
19:31.93
Usman Nurmagomedov
And.
19:43.58
aneeqekhan1
Before you and start craning. Oh.
19:38.30
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yeah, ah and that’s the like skipping five ten minutes of skiing. It’s that sort of shit like heaps of heaps of heap escapes or like I used to train at Gracie Barhar in Sydney and they would do like a 20 minute warmup before they started doing any technique.
19:51.58
aneeqekhan1
Who.
20:04.83
aneeqekhan1
Um, or literally I totally agree with you because they would I remember so because at the absolute Mma the one that I used to train in mount. So.
19:57.63
Usman Nurmagomedov
Which is really good because you got nimble and warm and stuff but like it would cook your bra. You’d be dead and you’re like now I’ve got to roll these savages for an hour and I’ve got to try to remember what I’m doing put my hands here and my foot there and I’m like I can barely breathe. But.
20:23.35
aneeqekhan1
They used to do like a 30 minute warmup right? which was and then 30 minute warmup was pretty much its own class right? like some people just go away after the class like ah, a lot more like ah um, a lot more normal people would join it like people who weren’t doing the classes after as well. They just joining coming for quick workout as well. So it was a pretty much a full workout.
20:24.28
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
20:43.17
aneeqekhan1
And what I remember the worst thing that I hated the most was doing ba bear crawls. Those Bastards are the worst and then just when you ya.
20:36.17
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
20:42.67
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, Bri did them this morning a shocking and if you’ve got a trainer that doesn’t let you sleep as well. You’ve got to keep your butt down. You’ve got to actually drive your knees forward. You can’t just like walk on your hands. You’ve got to actually crawl like oh my gosh.
20:58.74
aneeqekhan1
Yeah, it grow and then you got crawl the that and the worst part was like we like this big ring and then they just make you do the whole ring and then after that you’d be done. They’d be like all right was be will barrels with your partner and then is like I go nothing after doing like 50 pushups I got.
21:03.26
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
21:18.68
aneeqekhan1
But think and then then after black keep your hands up what hands up good days.
21:08.30
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. It’s actually such a such a like I kind of don’t do burpes anymore because I hate him. But I feel like bear Crawlws is something I need to start doing more of again because you you work the whole body and you work the whole body in in a position that makes you so strong so quickly because you’re carrying your weight your legs your shoulders your core like keep your core braces that help like it’s such a good exercise I like this this.
21:45.80
aneeqekhan1
Ah, it is.
21:44.98
Usman Nurmagomedov
Couple of those exercises that like like a deadlift that you’re just using your whole body together and you just once you start doing them again like that’s really hard. You start doing them for a few weeks and you get better and you’re like this is I I feel strong as doing these ones.
21:57.87
aneeqekhan1
Ah, ah, ah’ll tell I’ll tell you and if you want to punish your class next time when you have him. Ah, this is what you can do you can make them do the bear crawls make them do about 3 to 4 sets are like normal and then make them do reverse reverse.
21:59.66
Usman Nurmagomedov
M.
22:15.17
aneeqekhan1
And then follow it up with ah ah with a wheel barrel with the partner back and forward about 5 times before they all drop.
22:07.88
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, ah, wow.
22:16.58
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, shit Yeah, that’ll be it. That’ll be it. It’s good because you get some whinging but then people get too tied to wind So those are the best classes. That’s what my that’s thought my Chinese said it to yeah yeah, yeah.
22:29.33
aneeqekhan1
And they just keep going good days. Interesting interestingly enough like just talking about that when you were saying like you us when you focus on things like that then like you go down a rabbit hole of the good things right? like it’s like the whole idea about at is this old saying about your. Think of your brain is like a garden right? like your brain’s like garden like some shit’s gonna grow in there right? and it just depends on what you’re gonna grow like you know if you don’t think of your garden like if you don’t do anything to it. Weeds is just gonna grow like something’s gonna grow because that’s how the nature of the brain. You know our brains tend to be focused towards the negative. That’s why whenever you see like you know there’s a crash on the highway. You just see you know the crash is clear like the traffic is still slow. You go why? the hell the traffic slow. It’s because everyone is slowing down to look at the freaking accident That’s why everyone just thinks about the negative when it looks at the negative right. Our brains are wired like that. That’s why that’s why those? ah you know market those ah news companies make such freaking great money because they just keep cherking out those freaking horrible article with Trump said this or you know the new vaccine meant did what you know so you’re just like yeah fuck I need to read out. You know Sydney escapeate as ah, Sydney hit set the new new normal for what what is this bull shit. So I realized like you know, um, this year I’ve almost consumed like one of the things I said to myself this is like I’m not gonna consume. Absolutely no news and I have done like absolutely noty like the worst thing the the worst thing I do at the moment is. And not even not even on Facebook because I know Facebook is worse like I’ve pretty much stopped using Facebook for like Facebook scroll feed I only log on to Twitter because I have like 2 followers on Twitter and no one real cares about Twitter I don’t I don’t care about tutor that much and I’ll just check the numbers of covid sometimes and then that seems to work because. They post that little picture so I’m like that’s fine and then but but I realize was like you know you keep scrolling. But you’re still going to consume something so I’ve been listening to a lot more like you know, ah stuff about like workouts or like you know audio books are more or less because so got to entertain yourself just got to do that and you know either.
24:11.72
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, me too.
24:37.85
aneeqekhan1
Other day like cause I stopped like I took a heavy turn left from like social media how I was using my like because I was like oh I’m spending a lot of time on Tiktok and Instagram as well and you get caught up on the first traps as well. So I was like I can’t do that so and then I was just excited taking up a lot more like reading medium. That’s why I was like used.
24:41.72
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, big time.
24:57.39
aneeqekhan1
Like I use a lot more like medium at the moment which is a great app. You can just read quick little articles here there and even they can become an addiction every now and then because I just keep saving articles that ought to really read. But I found you know Reddit is another another one that I thought was going to be good. But that was like a hole another rabbit hole because it was just like nonstop threats of information I was like ah got to stop but the.
25:16.16
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, a good curated Reddit thread can be really good but because there’s so much user input like it just gets messy so fast but you can get a really. It’s like a good even some Twitter feeds would get really good, but it’s just too much variability. A there’s too much just.
25:35.67
aneeqekhan1
Too much too much. Yeah I found the best app that if you want to tickle your social media fancy is medium medium is like literally it’s like an Instagram for articles. The articles are no longer than like you know, maybe like.
25:35.61
Usman Nurmagomedov
Chaos.
25:53.10
aneeqekhan1
2 minute read or 3 minute read most articles. But but you know you can just quickly go through it like you know a lunch break and stuff I just like whenever I want to read socialologist do that. But I think you’re gone.
25:50.10
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, that’s awesome actually.
25:57.40
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah that’s a good call I started doing less and less as well like with Instagram and particularly like um because I didn’t use haven’t used Tiktok but you know you see Youtube shorts and you see instagram if you go from an Instagram story feed. It’s basically in a kind of like tikok. Um, so I was doing a lot of that for sure and even it took a week or 2 but by that time I was just accessing the app a lot less and every time sometimes I would open the app for no reason then I would close it straight away just but like don’t even give myself half an excuse and it meant it started to really work and now I’m at the point now where I like I start. Just gone ah to look for a newsfeed now I can’t of be bothered like it seems like too much effort where it used to be like I do it without even thinking. So it’s sort of like um, it’s kind of come full circle a little bit but that’s a really good. That’s a really good. Um, really good idea I’m actually gonna download medium I’ve heard a little bit about it I’ve been using. Like ah for the last bit over a year I’ve been using an app called you bible and that’s just the bible on the phone. It’s got heaps of different translations and there’s also these things called daily devotional so you can have a topic or a certain basically kind of anything you want to learn about and you can have. Um, so an expert in the field. So a past or something like that will explain it for a few minutes and then they’ll give you ah bible verse to sort of reference that so those have been really good that sort of feel like those things collectively have helped sort of curb my um, my um quench you know my need for constant.
27:42.16
aneeqekhan1
Oh yeah, a hundred percent I totally get that I found one of the things you can do you can always just unfollow the people who like show up and then you just you only find like just zooming in zooming in. You know the old td short. You know you never escaped those words you know.
27:32.95
Usman Nurmagomedov
Already feeds and everything like that. But you start getting bored again. Weird a it’s like a trap you just want it. You want to you want to full circle it again.
27:45.26
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yeah.
28:00.42
aneeqekhan1
Ah night it’s the algorithms are pretty good like sometimes you can even unfollow the Mill still show you based on like your reference now I really cut down my followings to special. Um.
27:52.13
Usman Nurmagomedov
To because you because you um obviously the more more you follow so on the more is their stuff if you unfollow them and then follow them straight away does that reset it or does it go back to just it now doesn’t yeah.
28:20.15
aneeqekhan1
I’ve been doing this for a few years like I think I’ve been unfollowing goal particularly that I followed just because they used to be hot when I was younger and then I had all these like fitness influences that I just followed because they were hot back in the days I’m not saying they know how now but I think you know that’s what my brain worked like at the time clearly so you know I was like i.
28:10.62
Usman Nurmagomedov
True.
28:21.62
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah. That.
28:39.51
aneeqekhan1
These these like there’s no value in this particular content for me is for them to like follow like I think my feed not my feed mostly like if you scroll through it like now is actually just my friends like actually my friends like posting stuff or like few actual influences that I.
28:39.96
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
28:59.20
aneeqekhan1
Kind of give a shit about like you know for um and so and like like wealth and fitness stuff and then rest of it is and that’s.
28:55.42
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, totally.
29:01.82
Usman Nurmagomedov
Like if you if you ever need your outlet then you can always go find it. But yeah when you curate a lot out of it and then you yeah, you even stick to 1 or 2 industries. For example that you know are being more beneficial than less beneficial or just like your friendship circle you just.
29:32.10
aneeqekhan1
Yeah, off.
29:21.82
Usman Nurmagomedov
Decrease Those followers you start to see the same people. But it’s like yeah those are the ones I want to see so it’s not that hard to do you just sort of got to be a little bit roofless with a a you sort of can go ah you know sort of like she’s very beautiful but she also has like good workouts. It’s like not gone like you’ve got to be a little bit. You know you’ve got to be a little bit brutal but it it actually does definitely? Um, Yeah, it all You can’t just it’s like anything you can’t just stop. You’ve got us cut back before you stop it.
29:51.49
aneeqekhan1
Yeah I’ll tell you what though I do still follow and I get trapped in it so badly which is the solid anti waxes Goddav I love reading their content because it’s just it’s it’s is no because it’s just sometimes sometimes what they say it makes sense right.
29:56.19
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:11.30
aneeqekhan1
Sometimes it’s just funny because it’s so ah, so sleep. Cerebr sleep sleep. What’s that word. Ah, what’s the word when you are kind of only intake the content that is ah confirmation bias. That’s what it’s called.
30:05.83
Usman Nurmagomedov
Um, yeah, and sedducially both.
30:28.50
aneeqekhan1
So it’s so kind like it’s so biased like the the research you’ll find like they’ll kind of they’ll cut out like a piece of content that Joe Rogan said on his podcast right? and then they’ll position it you know it’s just like pretty which enforces what they’re saying so it’s pretty interesting I mean.
30:22.40
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yeah, yep. Yeah.
30:47.60
aneeqekhan1
I At this point I That’s an argument that I’m not even willing to give any energy to but it is still makes for a good laugh at times. Um.
30:39.17
Usman Nurmagomedov
But.
30:50.32
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, and yeah, it definitely hooks hooks you in a little bit pretty quickly and even if you’re pretty neutral to it. You will start to feel a certain way. So I become pretty hypervigilant to when I start to feel emotional but um, like the 1 thing I noticed and it happened with a few people I used to. Um, listen to Stephen crowd I don’t do so much anymore because it’s just I don’t want to be um, you know I don’t want to be involved with any sort of politics anymore I’m just not interested at the moment but like I would see things about and like the big sort of the the popular thing at the moment is obviously because. Rogen’s on Spotify now and his the biggest media outlet in the world is to devalue his opinions or can you know paint a narrative about him and then people who aren’t sure or don’t know about him or have heard about him or not listened to him or I feel like the people that don’t like him. Will listen to it and they’ll just have that confirmation. Bias radar turned up and you’ll you’ll hear what you want to hear and how you want to hear it but I feel like a lot of people were tune in because I go I want to see what the hell’s going on and you hear him talk for a couple of minutes and you’re like dude I actually really like this guy like he’s like ah like he sounds like a friend that I know or something and then. He’s just getting more and more popular with that like the numbers are getting higher and higher and it’s sort of backfiring because because because you can see it from even from a year or two ago when you know, um, like ah say ah ah Fox or ah or a guardian had 2 or 3 me and people listening and there was maybe 4 or 5 or 6 men in Rogen now some now it’s up to about 2 or 3 times that now Rogen’s getting 10 to 15 me and and they’re getting 500000 a millionan subscribers or listeners or watches or viewers particularly in the Us. But um. So it’s it’s obviously not working but it’s it’s yeah, it’s it’s very fascinating. So with all the craziness going on a lot more people you know without using the w word the waking up word a lot lot more people are starting to either formulate their opinion or us just tend to be.
32:54.19
aneeqekhan1
Yeah I mean I think in the last year. It’s funny because if you were to listen to the listen to the episodes us just talking even twelve months ago to to maybe a year and a half ago which is really interesting because.
32:48.13
Usman Nurmagomedov
You know, siding with as much common sense as they feel like they need to So I like that a lot.
33:13.28
aneeqekhan1
Ah, no, let let’s say you listen to like you listen to the epi start. Maybe ah you know I don’t know 2020 right yes so like you know and then this is funny enough like someone was talking to me. They’re like oh each week I talk to you have like some new you like you’re like a whole other person you have like a new ideology I’m like.
33:06.25
Usman Nurmagomedov
That was our last episode coincidentally that yeah 2020 for sure, especially early Twenty Twenty one definitely as well. Yeah.
33:33.19
aneeqekhan1
Hell yeah, like imagine if I didn’t like you know I’d be stupid I don’t want to be the same like you know? Um, yeah, you know I think the fundamental is the fundamentals and your values remain the same like ah I very much especially in the past three months that we haven’t done any podcasting.
33:30.12
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yep.
33:50.44
aneeqekhan1
Ah, become very very very much ah like much of like I realize how much attention I was giving to the politics of the world was more than it I needed to do I More than my fear share and I don’t think it made that different to anything I just complained so it was just wasted energy.
33:45.67
Usman Nurmagomedov
Soon.
33:54.11
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
34:10.80
aneeqekhan1
So I just stopped I think so that’s that’s kind of my new standing on that So I’m just like I think there’s far more important things that we can do to make a difference than to just complain and whinge about it I think a conversation is always good but complaining and midaging is probably non helpful in any known.
34:01.80
Usman Nurmagomedov
No so wasted energy I written.
34:28.42
aneeqekhan1
Structure. Yeah.
34:18.42
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yeah, when totally I think looking at like our mindset which is always since you know we really met each other’s about improvement and constantly bettering ourselves like there’s regression and proression as Well. There’s gonna be. Seasons is gonna be times that you take a step back and maybe you feel like you’re doing stuff that you felt like you’ve moved on from and you know you sort of move back through that and then you go away from it again. But I feel like each time that happens you sort of come out of it with a little bit of a it’s almost like a little bit of a clear clearness and a clarity to it and you’re. As you mature as well like you just get you get to see things for what they really are or you get less stuck in certain patterns and yeah, so I’m definitely noticing that with myself. It’s just. Now. It’s getting easier and easier when because I’m focused on on it on improving like it’s never.. It’s never an Upward trend. It’s like that that that heartbeat up and down up and down up and down. But it’s averaging across the board and and now I I can’t even justify like going down the political rabbit hole anymore because it doesn’t do anything for me. So.
35:35.10
aneeqekhan1
Oh for sure. But the the interesting thing is and that’s what most people would focus on and that’s why people society forces us to focus on is the is the micro versus the macro. Even if you look at like look at the stock market right? So for example, like I I’ve been investing in Stock market for like.
35:27.56
Usman Nurmagomedov
Um, and that’s like really that’s cool I feel myself maturing a lot. You know a lot more calmer and stuff.
35:54.73
aneeqekhan1
Years now, right? And then I realized right? and what I hear I follow a few people on like Reddit and stuff like their actual decent investors and like you know I listen to actual actual financial news by actual financial people right in the morning. So I just maybe listen to that like sometimes right. Ah, once a week or something that so a cba actually has a really good 1 right? You listen to the actual financial news versus the financial news that you get from the news media is so different right? because they take a screen essentially what they’re doing is they’re taking a screen short of the past fourteen days and showing you ah the downward trends.
36:12.28
Usman Nurmagomedov
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:30.59
aneeqekhan1
You zoom out onto the macro. You see that that same stock despite the fact that it dropped 10% was up by 60% in the past financial year you go? Okay, well that 10% fall means you still on a net positive or 50% yeah and no one’s going to look at that because.
36:35.80
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
36:50.36
aneeqekhan1
Just going to look at the quick quick answer which that they find from the news media like so to speak and that’s that’s what the the vibe of the general society is these days and it’s very much so focused on the you know what’s what’s the daily even like even my you know I work in marketing and like in saleswise right? For example. Ah, you know like like 1 of this is I won’t talk about the company that I worked for, but there’s a company that I used to work for previously write this. So the net profit of the period that I engaged me in the work to work with them with their net profit a profit net profit increased. Ah, sorry net revenue increased by 50% in in year -to date right? But in in the months there were a few months that that you know there was ah there was a downward trend so they were like me you know, 4 out of let’s say six months that I worked were actually you know let’s say either equal or no more than before right? But there were two months that were actually the it was lower than what they’re anticipated right? but they were always like oh this this months this week is so shit is it doesn’t yeah it’s it’s always hard to explain to people that like. If you look at the overarching effect of this. It changes.
38:03.92
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, you want to? yeah you want you want to be focused on quarterly and ely is hard because it can feel like a long period of time. But yeah, you don’t want to be looking at the daily the weekly numbers if if at all possible quarterly is going to give you. You know every every buy year is every six months and twelve months that’s going to give you a ruin the care. It’s like okay if after six months you know this trend is still going. Okay, we definitely need to address this but it averages out like you. You know you’re still doing really well and you’re never going to be like the market’s never going to be perfect people issues. I feel like people tend to pay their bills around the same time or shit happens like the weather gets crappy then people spend more money you know, whatever it is it causes that sort of natural progression in life but over the over the free 6 to my period like come at me now like let’s speak about that. Let’s not speak about last week let’s speak about this three month period
38:55.67
aneeqekhan1
Speak. Yeah yeah.
38:57.26
Usman Nurmagomedov
Then It’s like oh it’s doing pretty good. But yes, it’s It’s fascinating as some people just what they’re used to doing or who really knows why what they may be. Yeah, they’re um, yeah, you’ probably got to speak to that a bit more maybe waing people are that way Inclined. It’s definitely got to do with like that instant. Gratification that world we live in nowadays. It’s all about sort of you know, ah planning is is in the in the in the back mind and people’s what’s happening right? now is what people is focused on and that’s definitely like a little bit of ah a lockdown mentality as well because it’s ah. You’re sort of focused on it daytoday I feel like that’s a little bit of a um effect that it’s having on Society. It was definitely heading that way in you know, Pre Twenty Twenty but I feel like this has definitely accelerated that a little bit.
39:46.00
aneeqekhan1
Oh this I mean what interesting loves your interesting fact for someone from working in ecommerce right? and this is actually an article that I want to write in and actually say you know the inside Sco for my e someone who works in ecommerce for people who don’t know you know there? Oh the 10 secrets that ecommerce companies. Don’t want you to know. You and though I want to know some’m gonna do kind something like that. But but interesting enough like I found so the 2 of the most popular days on a ecommerce are Thursday and a Monday interestingly enough. So obviously my job as a market is usually to justify. Why are those two days more popular right? So I go okay, why are they more popular Thursday I found that it just tends to be the most.
40:00.92
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah.
40:07.37
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
40:23.35
aneeqekhan1
Most common pay day in Australia is Thursday Thursday or Wednesday is the more common day and so even if someone got paid on Wednesday you’ll find that they may be spending on Thursday right? Also just goes to show. Ah how many people leave paid to check to pay check they’re willing to spend the next day or the and of the day off that they they find so. The the reason I can I can also tell you that is because you’ll find the sales on a Thursdays will actually happen later on in the evening a lot more so people are actually getting paid and spending the money straight away. So just quite an interesting The second one is Monday I usually find is actually sales happen on a lot earlier in the day people are actually just got’t be bother working on mondays.
40:35.87
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
41:01.92
aneeqekhan1
Mind so it’s really interesting. Actually its so ah, both of them kind of exuposing but you know one of the things that I that I want to write this article and then one of the things that I wanted to say was you’ll find like 1 of the things that happens in ecommerce more often than it should is and more so ever than more.
40:56.66
Usman Nurmagomedov
Monday or I just say after the weekend. Yeah.
41:21.65
aneeqekhan1
Now more than ever before ah is ah, people will order something and 15 minutes 15 to 20 minutes later or sometimes maybe an hour later sometimes a day later will so write an email saying when will my parcel arrive right? and it’s like my man like you ordered it 15 minutes ago I don’t get understand.
41:29.45
Usman Nurmagomedov
But.
41:40.81
aneeqekhan1
How it’s even physically possible for us to get it from our warehouse to your door like you know it doesn’t doesn’t make sense. Are you just bored like is this a joke. Ah and that happens that that that actually happens way more than it should the funny and and it it is fascinating that. But how people’s brains work right.
41:35.12
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah.
41:43.98
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, that Amazon to use 30 Yeah, that’s fascinating.
42:00.30
aneeqekhan1
And other thing is like you’ll find like and this is more interesting and and I want to touch based on what you were saying briefly before but I want to point this out as well. So you’ll find like ah, let’s say someone’s parcel is delayed right? So most of the delays are caused by Australia post because most of ucommer companies in Australia use Australia post and Australia post. 18 was toldlled by commerce of chambers of commerce I think that’s what they call that hey there’s going to be a drastic increase in ecommerce in the coming years. This is pre covid you should upgrade your system and they said now we’re great We’re fine. Let us we’ll cruise and come Tony Tony obviously it was worse than what it should have been because covid it came around and Australia post has still has no way of capacity of copying with their mechanism. They’re been hiring people by the bucket load but they still can’t keep up with the demand. So. It’s always Australia post that’s delaying but they’re still keeping. It’s still taking shipments. They’re still paying. They’ll still take your money but just won’t give you the service and then on top of that. There’s so big so nomanous case but what would happen is like let’s say if you order something and it’s late right? And ah what you’ll do is you’ll like for example, not necessarily you but what people do is leave a bad comment about the company I will try to explain to them saying hey like it’s not us that.
42:50.79
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yeah.
43:14.77
aneeqekhan1
Delaying your parcel is Australia post and they they don’t want to hear that what’s more interesting is those same people will go to Amazon and buy something or ebay buy something and not even see the parcel for rest of their life right? and they won’t do anything you know what? it’s it’s really interesting that the people are willing to. Willing to ah take that step to you know do this thing I actually have the opinion about this company even though you know they know if it was some other company who did that to them. They wouldn’t do it because they’re much bigger. So. I find that really interesting so I was wondering if you have any thoughts on that I wonder why that happens I I mean I I students still stump to it I don’t understand why that happens why do people do that. So why would people why would someone not complain to Kmart but would came out to complain to a smaller company because. You know they were they they their pass was late. So I always find that really interesting.
44:06.63
Usman Nurmagomedov
Ah, just a side point before I think I give I think I have an idea with um like I know I’ve seeing a lot more Fedex now and there’s obviously heaps of third -party curier companies that do a lot of deliveries now but does Australia post have like is it just market share they have or do they do they still have.
44:18.54
aneeqekhan1
Move.
44:32.18
aneeqekhan1
Ah, australia poor still holds about 60% of the market and the reason they hold the market is because they’re the cheapest and the the reason they’re cheapest because they’ve been around the longest and quantity and also the.
44:24.65
Usman Nurmagomedov
So many contract with so many different supplies that they just like have such control over the industry. Yeah.
44:49.61
aneeqekhan1
The another thing with the the reason they can stick like how much they ship the second one they’re cheaper is because they still hold. So if you if I use for example, Fedex right? Fedex actually probably has less chance of getting you the parcel even though they’ll charge me about hundred bucks because if you’re not home ferex goes into like this sims mode of like.
44:40.61
Usman Nurmagomedov
So just quantity as well. Probably to a yeah.
45:08.64
aneeqekhan1
What do I do now like what to do like error error. They they literally start having errors in their brain of like what to do the Australia post will just take it to the local post office right? So there is actually a huge aspect like I’ve seen you know, interestingly enough this this this Fedex.
45:12.73
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, church or.
45:28.12
aneeqekhan1
Order that I sent to new Zealandland right? and we paid $99 in Australian dollars to send a parcel needs zealand all it was a box but it was like overnight had to be right? So so this was clearly urgent that we paid one hundred bucks right I got to news zealandland and the person the delivery driver got to the go to the place.
45:31.65
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
45:47.34
aneeqekhan1
And he couldn’t get into the reception some or to this office right? and he couldn’t find the door so he got really confused so he just went back to the Dep Depot and the depot could really confused what to do with the package so they go they sent it back to the airport. So the airport were really confused so this so I would.
45:55.18
Usman Nurmagomedov
Well.
46:06.94
aneeqekhan1
Just see back and forward I actually still have I’ll send you a screenshot of the tracking. It’s incredible. It’s just like back and forward so you know so it was really interesting seeing how they handle that so Australia post at least you know have little the little bit better there.
46:00.31
Usman Nurmagomedov
Returned it? Yeah gotcha. Yeah, that’s where Bloody Keyways are.
46:25.87
aneeqekhan1
Um.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, there’s no like procedure correct procedure in place. A people did not to do um and I think the and I’ve dealt with this with um. You know, doing with local companies and suppliers compared to the big ones is you feel more of a human connection I think when you’re dealing with a smaller company. So if you reach out to customer service or you buy a product you feel like you’re actually really contributing to the community where if you go to Kmart, you go to these big chains. It’s like you know you’re just another number. Um. So you tend to even if you feel like you’re reaching out to them. You tend to feel like they don’t really care anymore cause there’s so much volume. So I think people just go well if they don’t care I don’t care where it’s like a smaller business even if it’s a subconscious thing they go. Well yeah, I’m helping them with my business I want them to help me. So I think that’s probably probably part of it as well. Um. And I think I think if you’re in in in an industry where people are buying more often for other people and not buying for themselves if you’re buying I feel like if you’re I can definitely It’s not not exact thing. But if I’m buying something for someone else like I really um, want to know what’s going on where it is.
47:38.36
aneeqekhan1
Not I Totally totally totally. Yeah, it’s mixture of aspects but I always think that’s really interesting and then what what were you saying before like I was I think I totally I knew I was gonna forget the what use.
47:27.82
Usman Nurmagomedov
If I’m buying it for myself I Want to know as well. But I’m a bit more chill because I know it’s on my time if I want to give a present to someone else like I’m fucking up checking that shit every day and ah make sure you’re Home. You know that sort of thing. So Maybe that’s maybe that’s it to yeah. So connection with the company I think it’s you know if if you’re dealing with those big companies. There’s less of that you know you feel like you’re just dealing with a machine and not dealing with people even though people work for those companies you know.
48:02.11
aneeqekhan1
It’s it’s really interesting, but the funny thing is long-term aspect aspect. What happens is like this small company that actually still cares about their companies and there’s actually ah get a greater connection because you know each each customer is valuable to the you know it’s it’s all about present age right. You know 1 person 1 person 1 customer makes up. Let’s say 1% of the customer. For example, right for a customer for a company that may have hundred customers. That’s 1% of the customer versus for Kmart you make up a fraction of a present.
48:06.30
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah.
48:17.33
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, true.
48:31.72
aneeqekhan1
You know you know if that on and a good day. You know so it doesn’t even make a different or it came out or the amazons of the world. You know So it’s really interesting seeing how you know people behaviors work. But anyway nonetheless I think quickly going back to what you were saying before about about what was.
48:28.32
Usman Nurmagomedov
Okay.
48:49.92
aneeqekhan1
The question about people buying is that what we’re talking about.
48:56.40
aneeqekhan1
Not no I think there was a question you asked before that I’ve totally ignored that one before.
48:48.90
Usman Nurmagomedov
Um, do you mean buying from one company to another or do you mean like the reason like the dayss. For example Thursday and Monday was it about the market I thought it was just about the market like why at stray post now I’m not sure.
49:05.89
aneeqekhan1
Ah, yeah, honor that I think it was about the market. Ah, like when people buy or not I think there’s few aspects like I think there’s a lot more external external things that affect ah people buying a lot more than anything else. You’d find like um, so.
49:06.97
Usman Nurmagomedov
Um.
49:24.71
aneeqekhan1
Raining day people would stand to spend less which is weird because you think people are home but people tend to spend less like it’s so weird, but it’s just happens to be the case I don’t know what people are thinking online particularly and tend to spend less less food traffic as well. Rainy days is just bad for business. Overall yeah.
49:21.50
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:31.75
Usman Nurmagomedov
Yeah, on the weekends. Yeah,, there’s there’s like a yeah, well rainy days is a fascinating one like understand when people have their days off because you’re sort of less stressed because you’re at home or you’re in a comfortable environment if you’re at Work. You’re. Generally a bit more stressed and then you want to maybe buy something to make yourself feel better. A little bit of Gratification. So Then you’re more likely to like um I was like that I was more likely to even know I was at work I was more likely to listen to a podcast or so when I was at work with I just needed to distract it and at home I’m just like ah whatever you know I’ll get to it.
