Alleged mushroom killer Aaron Patterson's barrister will make 16 00:00:54,334 --> 00:00:57,614 Speaker 1: a final push today to convince Duras his client did 17 00:00:57,694 --> 00:01:01,414 Speaker 1: not intentionally serve beef Wellington's laced with death cap mushrooms. 18 00:01:01,774 --> 00:01:04,894 Speaker 1: Colin Mandy is expected to finish his closing address today 19 00:01:05,094 --> 00:01:08,214 Speaker 1: after two days of arguing Patterson is innocent of three 20 00:01:08,254 --> 00:01:12,494 Speaker 1: counts of murder and of attempted murder. Prosecutors alleged Patterson 21 00:01:12,534 --> 00:01:15,774 Speaker 1: intentionally poisoned her former in laws Don and Gail Patterson. 22 00:01:16,054 --> 00:01:19,814 Speaker 1: Gail's sister Heather, and Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson, in was 23 00:01:19,854 --> 00:01:23,254 Speaker 1: the only survivor from the two couples. Mister Mandy argued 24 00:01:23,294 --> 00:01:26,334 Speaker 1: that while Patterson told lies before and after the lunch, 25 00:01:26,614 --> 00:01:29,054 Speaker 1: that did not mean she was guilty of murder and 26 00:01:29,134 --> 00:01:31,774 Speaker 1: she had no motive to kill any of her guests. 27 00:01:32,014 --> 00:01:35,254 Speaker 1: He accepted her lie about having cancer was stupid, but 28 00:01:35,374 --> 00:01:37,614 Speaker 1: said she made it up to conceal her plans to 29 00:01:37,694 --> 00:01:41,454 Speaker 1: undergo weight loss procedures. Mister Mandy denied the cancer lie 30 00:01:41,574 --> 00:01:43,774 Speaker 1: was a ruse to bring the guests into her home, 31 00:01:44,054 --> 00:01:46,014 Speaker 1: as she told the lie at the end of the meal, 32 00:01:46,094 --> 00:01:49,014 Speaker 1: once the beef Wellington's had been eaten. The barrister told 33 00:01:49,014 --> 00:01:51,574 Speaker 1: the jury his client also ate the poisoned meal, but 34 00:01:51,654 --> 00:01:54,734 Speaker 1: her younger age, heavier weight, and decision to throw up 35 00:01:54,774 --> 00:01:58,414 Speaker 1: afterwards meant her symptoms were less severe. Pointing to scientific 36 00:01:58,454 --> 00:02:01,974 Speaker 1: research from Germany which showed people could respond differently when 37 00:02:02,054 --> 00:02:06,734 Speaker 1: consuming death cap mushrooms. The defense barrister criticized prosecution claims 38 00:02:06,774 --> 00:02:10,054 Speaker 1: Patterson saw posts about death cap locations in the Gippsland 39 00:02:10,134 --> 00:02:12,654 Speaker 1: area and then went to those places to forage for 40 00:02:12,694 --> 00:02:16,054 Speaker 1: the mushrooms, telling the jury there was no evidence Patterson 41 00:02:16,094 --> 00:02:19,094 Speaker 1: saw the Iron Naturalist posts from April and May twenty 42 00:02:19,094 --> 00:02:22,614 Speaker 1: twenty three, and that cell tower data only suggested she 43 00:02:22,734 --> 00:02:25,454 Speaker 1: might have been near Outraman Locke on the relevant days. 44 00:02:25,814 --> 00:02:29,574 Speaker 1: Once mister Mandy finishes his closing address, Justice Christopher Biale 45 00:02:29,574 --> 00:02:33,054 Speaker 1: will give his final directions to the jury. Three Australian 46 00:02:33,054 --> 00:02:35,654 Speaker 1: men have been arrested suspected to have been involved in 47 00:02:35,694 --> 00:02:39,334 Speaker 1: the shooting death of another Rossie in Bali. Zivan Radmanovitch 48 00:02:39,494 --> 00:02:41,694 Speaker 1: was shot and killed inside the villa where he was 49 00:02:41,734 --> 00:02:44,294 Speaker 1: staying north of Koda with his wife and another couple. 50 00:02:44,614 --> 00:02:47,614 Speaker 1: One other man was injured. Bali police say they have 51 00:02:47,694 --> 00:02:50,694 Speaker 1: now detained three men, who are all Australian nationals, who 52 00:02:50,694 --> 00:02:53,414 Speaker 1: were brought back to the island from Singapore and Jakarta, 53 00:02:53,734 --> 00:02:56,574 Speaker 1: the police chief saying they have several pieces of evidence 54 00:02:56,614 --> 00:02:59,254 Speaker 1: linking the men to the crime. The three may face 55 00:02:59,334 --> 00:03:03,334 Speaker 1: charges including premeditated murder, which if found guilty, could see 56 00:03:03,334 --> 00:03:06,814 Speaker 1: them face the death penalty or life in prison. US 57 00:03:06,894 --> 00:03:09,694 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump has told reporters he will not say 58 00:03:09,694 --> 00:03:12,334 Speaker 1: whether he's decided to order a US strike on Iran, 59 00:03:12,614 --> 00:03:15,974 Speaker 1: a move that Iranian officials warned would be met with retaliation. 60 00:03:16,574 --> 00:03:19,174 Speaker 1: Speaking outside the White House, Trump declined to say whether 61 00:03:19,214 --> 00:03:21,814 Speaker 1: he'd made any decision on whether to join Israel's bombing 62 00:03:21,814 --> 00:03:25,014 Speaker 1: campaign against Iran, saying I may do it, I may 63 00:03:25,054 --> 00:03:27,694 Speaker 1: not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going 64 00:03:27,734 --> 00:03:30,734 Speaker 1: to do. He told reporters that Iranian officials had reached 65 00:03:30,734 --> 00:03:34,094 Speaker 1: out about negotiations, including a possible meeting at the White House, 66 00:03:34,334 --> 00:03:37,334 Speaker 1: but stated that it's very late to be talking. The 67 00:03:37,414 --> 00:03:40,894 Speaker 1: highways out of the Iranian capital, Tehrana jammed with people 68 00:03:40,934 --> 00:03:45,254 Speaker 1: fleeing intensified Israeli airstrikes. In its latest bombing run, Israel 69 00:03:45,254 --> 00:03:49,134 Speaker 1: said its air force had destroyed Iran's police headquarters, Israel's 70 00:03:49,134 --> 00:03:52,534 Speaker 1: Defense Minister Israel Katz, saying, as we promised, we will 71 00:03:52,574 --> 00:03:55,214 Speaker 1: continue to strike at symbols of governance and hit the 72 00:03:55,254 --> 00:03:59,214 Speaker 1: Ayatola regime wherever it may be. Iran Supreme Leader Iatola 73 00:03:59,254 --> 00:04:02,694 Speaker 1: Ali Jamani appeared in a recorded speech played on local television, 74 00:04:03,054 --> 00:04:05,894 Speaker 1: saying the United States should know that any US military 75 00:04:05,934 --> 00:04:10,854 Speaker 1: intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable Damia. Intelligent people 76 00:04:10,854 --> 00:04:14,294 Speaker 1: who know Iran, the Iranian nation and its history will 77 00:04:14,334 --> 00:04:16,974 Speaker 1: never speak to this nation in threatening language because the 78 00:04:17,014 --> 00:04:20,614 Speaker 1: Iranian nation will not surrender. The Princess of Wales has 79 00:04:20,654 --> 00:04:23,134 Speaker 1: pulled out of attending Royal ascot as she continues to 80 00:04:23,174 --> 00:04:26,054 Speaker 1: find the right work life balance following her cancer treatment. 81 00:04:26,454 --> 00:04:29,134 Speaker 1: Kate has been making a gradual return to public duties 82 00:04:29,214 --> 00:04:31,174 Speaker 1: since it was announced in January that she was in 83 00:04:31,214 --> 00:04:34,734 Speaker 1: remission from cancer, and her public appearances have increased in 84 00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:37,734 Speaker 1: recent weeks, attending the Trooping of the Colour, the Annual 85 00:04:37,814 --> 00:04:39,814 Speaker 1: Order of the Garter Service and a visit to a 86 00:04:39,934 --> 00:04:43,294 Speaker 1: VNA storage facility in London, but it's being reported she's 87 00:04:43,374 --> 00:04:45,734 Speaker 1: trying to find the right balance as she fully returns 88 00:04:45,774 --> 00:04:49,294 Speaker 1: to public facing engagements. Racegoers had been hoping to see 89 00:04:49,374 --> 00:04:51,774 Speaker 1: Kate as William was named as one of the figures 90 00:04:51,774 --> 00:04:54,254 Speaker 1: awarding race prizes during the second day of the meeting, 91 00:04:54,534 --> 00:04:56,734 Speaker 1: but her name was removed from the list of guests 92 00:04:56,974 --> 00:05:00,254 Speaker 1: Kensington Palace, confirming she would not be attending. Her mum, 93 00:05:00,334 --> 00:05:03,134 Speaker 1: Carol and sister in law did go. Those spotted having 94 00:05:03,174 --> 00:05:05,654 Speaker 1: a lively conversation with the Prince of Wales and King 95 00:05:05,774 --> 00:05:07,134 Speaker 1: Charles in the Royal Box. 96 00:05:07,614 --> 00:05:08,294 Speaker 2: Thanks Claire. 97 00:05:08,574 --> 00:05:18,454 Speaker 3: Next from the G seven Summit, Anthony Alberanezi has just 98 00:05:18,534 --> 00:05:21,574 Speaker 3: wrapped up the G seven summit in Canada, an event 99 00:05:21,694 --> 00:05:24,454 Speaker 3: he was invited to to watch on from the sidelines 100 00:05:24,534 --> 00:05:27,694 Speaker 3: because remember, Australia is not part of the G seven 101 00:05:27,774 --> 00:05:31,254 Speaker 3: leaders group. Nonetheless, it was a good opportunity to put 102 00:05:31,294 --> 00:05:34,374 Speaker 3: in some face to face time with other leaders, including 103 00:05:34,414 --> 00:05:37,734 Speaker 3: the US President. Now this would have been the first 104 00:05:37,774 --> 00:05:41,054 Speaker 3: time the Australian and United States leaders met face to face, 105 00:05:41,534 --> 00:05:44,574 Speaker 3: a perfect opportunity for Albo to talk to Trump about 106 00:05:44,574 --> 00:05:49,014 Speaker 3: his rising tariffs and recent review into Orcus. By the way, 107 00:05:49,414 --> 00:05:51,334 Speaker 3: if you want to know more about that, we've already 108 00:05:51,334 --> 00:05:53,374 Speaker 3: covered it on the Quickie. I'll drop a link to 109 00:05:53,414 --> 00:05:55,734 Speaker 3: listen to that episode in the show notes. 110 00:05:57,414 --> 00:05:57,974 Speaker 2: Back to it. 111 00:05:58,134 --> 00:06:01,014 Speaker 3: And like many of those in the dating trenches, Albow 112 00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:04,134 Speaker 3: was ghosted left on red by the Leader of the 113 00:06:04,174 --> 00:06:07,214 Speaker 3: Free World as Trump made a swift exit from the 114 00:06:07,254 --> 00:06:09,694 Speaker 3: G seven summit after just the first day. 115 00:06:10,574 --> 00:06:11,774 Speaker 2: But it wasn't all the loss. 116 00:06:11,854 --> 00:06:14,534 Speaker 3: The Prime Minister managed to squeeze in some quality time 117 00:06:14,614 --> 00:06:18,854 Speaker 3: with other world leaders, think the French President, India's Narendromodi, 118 00:06:19,054 --> 00:06:23,254 Speaker 3: the South African leader, and Italy's Georgia Maloney. Plasi had 119 00:06:23,294 --> 00:06:26,814 Speaker 3: some pretty meaty chats with Trump's top economic team laying 120 00:06:26,814 --> 00:06:29,894 Speaker 3: out Australia's stance on tariffs and pushing for more action 121 00:06:29,974 --> 00:06:33,254 Speaker 3: on critical minerals. That's a big deal for Ozsy jobs 122 00:06:33,294 --> 00:06:37,254 Speaker 3: and the future of our rare earth's industry. He also 123 00:06:37,334 --> 00:06:40,854 Speaker 3: made sure Australia's voice was heard on Indo Pacific security 124 00:06:40,934 --> 00:06:44,574 Speaker 3: and climate action, and even got Australia's signature on the 125 00:06:44,574 --> 00:06:46,694 Speaker 3: G seven Critical Minerals Action Plan. 126 00:06:47,614 --> 00:06:48,494 Speaker 4: So not a. 127 00:06:48,454 --> 00:06:51,494 Speaker 3: Wasted trip, even if he was left hanging by the 128 00:06:51,614 --> 00:06:56,494 Speaker 3: US President. But where did Trump rush off to? Well, 129 00:06:56,694 --> 00:07:00,414 Speaker 3: he's inserted himself directly into the Iran Israel conflict conversation. 130 00:07:01,494 --> 00:07:03,134 Speaker 2: Earlier this week we looked. 131 00:07:02,894 --> 00:07:06,374 Speaker 3: At the conflict between Israel and Iran following a weekend 132 00:07:06,414 --> 00:07:10,694 Speaker 3: of trading fire. That conversation with to Jessica Nauer from 133 00:07:10,814 --> 00:07:14,854 Speaker 3: Flinders University also included Trump, who says he left the 134 00:07:14,894 --> 00:07:17,894 Speaker 3: G seven early to further deal with the situation in 135 00:07:17,934 --> 00:07:18,654 Speaker 3: the Middle East. 136 00:07:19,414 --> 00:07:23,654 Speaker 4: We're see in President Trump's second administration a somewhat sort 137 00:07:23,654 --> 00:07:26,054 Speaker 4: of different approach to foreign policy. There's a lot of 138 00:07:26,134 --> 00:07:28,574 Speaker 4: uncertainty around that. Some people have described it as a 139 00:07:28,614 --> 00:07:32,854 Speaker 4: bit chaotic without a clear strategic agenda. But nevertheless, the 140 00:07:33,014 --> 00:07:38,454 Speaker 4: US still has the largest military capability internationally. So just 141 00:07:38,654 --> 00:07:41,694 Speaker 4: by that fact alone, if they decide to enter into 142 00:07:41,854 --> 00:07:46,374 Speaker 4: any conflict on the global stage, they will be decisive 143 00:07:46,494 --> 00:07:47,654 Speaker 4: in the way they enter into it. 144 00:07:48,294 --> 00:07:52,174 Speaker 3: He's called for Iran's unconditional surrender and made it clear 145 00:07:52,294 --> 00:07:57,014 Speaker 3: the US is watching a run supreme leader very closely. Meanwhile, 146 00:07:57,054 --> 00:07:59,894 Speaker 3: Trump's National Security Council has been summoned to the White 147 00:07:59,934 --> 00:08:03,974 Speaker 3: House situation Room, and the US moved warships and aircraft 148 00:08:04,054 --> 00:08:08,054 Speaker 3: into the region. There's talk of a possible ceasefy negotiations, 149 00:08:08,094 --> 00:08:11,814 Speaker 3: with Iran reportedly reaching out for talks, but Israel is 150 00:08:11,894 --> 00:08:15,014 Speaker 3: yet to show interest in coming to the table. There's 151 00:08:15,014 --> 00:08:18,534 Speaker 3: also a lot of speculation about what happens next. Could 152 00:08:18,574 --> 00:08:22,654 Speaker 3: this be the moment for a new nuclear deal with Iran? Maybe, 153 00:08:22,854 --> 00:08:26,894 Speaker 3: But after Israel's attack killed Iran's lead negotiator, trust is 154 00:08:26,974 --> 00:08:30,814 Speaker 3: at an all time low. Someone worried Iran might even 155 00:08:30,854 --> 00:08:33,734 Speaker 3: try to sprint for a nuclear bomb, thinking it's their 156 00:08:33,734 --> 00:08:38,054 Speaker 3: only shot at survival. Others fear the US could get 157 00:08:38,174 --> 00:08:41,974 Speaker 3: dragged in directly. We'll keep you across this story in 158 00:08:42,014 --> 00:08:48,774 Speaker 3: the QUICKI and in our evening headlines. How's your social biome? 159 00:08:49,734 --> 00:08:51,374 Speaker 3: If you're thinking my social word. 160 00:08:51,454 --> 00:08:53,534 Speaker 2: Now you're not alone. 161 00:08:53,614 --> 00:08:56,094 Speaker 3: The New York Times has dropped a quiz that's got 162 00:08:56,134 --> 00:09:00,294 Speaker 3: everyone examining their friendships like their specimens under a microscope. 163 00:09:01,174 --> 00:09:04,174 Speaker 3: The concept comes from researchers who argue that just like 164 00:09:04,254 --> 00:09:07,654 Speaker 3: our gut needs diverse bacteria to stay healthy, our social 165 00:09:07,694 --> 00:09:09,134 Speaker 3: lives need diverse. 166 00:09:08,814 --> 00:09:10,174 Speaker 2: Relationship to thrive. 167 00:09:11,134 --> 00:09:14,894 Speaker 3: Apparently, a diverse social biome isn't just denis to have. 168 00:09:15,254 --> 00:09:20,254 Speaker 3: It's essential from mental and physical health. So maybe it's 169 00:09:20,294 --> 00:09:23,094 Speaker 3: time we did a little social biome checkup. Are you 170 00:09:23,134 --> 00:09:26,414 Speaker 3: cultivating different types of friendships? Do you have rite or 171 00:09:26,454 --> 00:09:30,694 Speaker 3: diabesties and your casual coffee buddies, because apparently you need 172 00:09:30,734 --> 00:09:34,774 Speaker 3: both to thrive. Mamami, your podcast host m Vernon recently 173 00:09:34,774 --> 00:09:37,734 Speaker 3: took the quiz and wrote about her experience and what 174 00:09:37,934 --> 00:09:39,534 Speaker 3: exactly is a social biome. 175 00:09:39,934 --> 00:09:44,694 Speaker 5: So the term social biome was coined by these communication 176 00:09:44,814 --> 00:09:47,854 Speaker 5: researchers named Andy Morola and Jeffrey Hall, and they wrote 177 00:09:47,854 --> 00:09:51,254 Speaker 5: a book about it, and it's basically the idea that 178 00:09:51,814 --> 00:09:55,894 Speaker 5: we need to treat our relationships like a living ecosystem, 179 00:09:56,094 --> 00:09:59,494 Speaker 5: something that we need to constantly care and nurture for 180 00:09:59,574 --> 00:10:02,694 Speaker 5: it to thrive. And it's the idea that if we 181 00:10:03,054 --> 00:10:05,934 Speaker 5: have a healthy social biome, the rest of our life 182 00:10:06,174 --> 00:10:07,254 Speaker 5: is healthy and thriving. 183 00:10:07,494 --> 00:10:11,374 Speaker 3: Okay, so we're always told to like nurture your relationships, 184 00:10:11,454 --> 00:10:14,694 Speaker 3: nurture your friendships individually, but this is like zoom out 185 00:10:14,734 --> 00:10:16,894 Speaker 3: and look at the whole roster everything. 186 00:10:16,974 --> 00:10:19,214 Speaker 5: So they came up with five elements that you need 187 00:10:19,254 --> 00:10:23,094 Speaker 5: to consider. So the first one is diverse social interactions, 188 00:10:23,334 --> 00:10:25,734 Speaker 5: So like, how diverse are the people that you're friends 189 00:10:25,774 --> 00:10:27,934 Speaker 5: with or that you're close with, Like, are there any 190 00:10:27,974 --> 00:10:30,014 Speaker 5: people in your life that you don't agree with that 191 00:10:30,054 --> 00:10:32,014 Speaker 5: you're still friends with? Are there any people in your 192 00:10:32,054 --> 00:10:34,614 Speaker 5: life that you can have really hard conversations with? Are 193 00:10:34,654 --> 00:10:37,094 Speaker 5: you friends with your neighbors? Things like that. The second 194 00:10:37,094 --> 00:10:40,374 Speaker 5: one is restorative solitude, So what are you like when 195 00:10:40,414 --> 00:10:43,294 Speaker 5: you're completely alone? Do you still feel connected to your 196 00:10:43,374 --> 00:10:46,574 Speaker 5: social biome? Are you quite scared to be alone? Are 197 00:10:46,574 --> 00:10:48,814 Speaker 5: you constantly looking at your phone and searching for that 198 00:10:48,854 --> 00:10:52,334 Speaker 5: like social interactment through social media. The next one is 199 00:10:52,774 --> 00:10:56,934 Speaker 5: meaningful talk. So with your social biome, are you just 200 00:10:57,054 --> 00:10:59,054 Speaker 5: having like this kind of which is kind of something 201 00:10:59,134 --> 00:11:01,214 Speaker 5: that I do, Like just those like funny little moments 202 00:11:01,254 --> 00:11:02,774 Speaker 5: where you see them all the time. And you just 203 00:11:02,854 --> 00:11:04,734 Speaker 5: joke around and have fun. When was the last time 204 00:11:04,734 --> 00:11:08,414 Speaker 5: you actually had a meaningful talk with someone? The next 205 00:11:08,414 --> 00:11:11,414 Speaker 5: one is communication with strangers. How often do you talk 206 00:11:11,454 --> 00:11:14,094 Speaker 5: to people who you don't know when you go shopping? 207 00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:16,654 Speaker 5: Are you comfortable saying hi to people? You're comfortable having 208 00:11:16,694 --> 00:11:19,494 Speaker 5: little conversations with people you've never met before? And the 209 00:11:19,614 --> 00:11:23,094 Speaker 5: last one is choosing social ability. So I think this 210 00:11:23,134 --> 00:11:26,014 Speaker 5: one is a big one since COVID like, how often 211 00:11:26,054 --> 00:11:27,974 Speaker 5: do you actually go out and make the decision to 212 00:11:28,014 --> 00:11:30,254 Speaker 5: go see your friends? Are you the ones planning it? 213 00:11:30,814 --> 00:11:32,734 Speaker 5: Do you kind of get a bit excited when plans 214 00:11:32,774 --> 00:11:33,294 Speaker 5: fall through? 215 00:11:33,374 --> 00:11:35,894 Speaker 6: Things like that. I think these key elements. 216 00:11:36,454 --> 00:11:39,534 Speaker 5: When I looked at them as individual things, it made 217 00:11:39,574 --> 00:11:40,254 Speaker 5: me quite nervous. 218 00:11:40,534 --> 00:11:41,534 Speaker 2: I feel nervous as well. 219 00:11:41,574 --> 00:11:43,894 Speaker 3: You and I have both had done this quiz, and 220 00:11:43,934 --> 00:11:46,134 Speaker 3: I fear that it's going to reveal. 221 00:11:45,854 --> 00:11:47,534 Speaker 6: I'm excited to hear results a lot about us. 222 00:11:47,614 --> 00:11:48,414 Speaker 2: Do you want to go first? 223 00:11:48,534 --> 00:11:51,654 Speaker 5: Okay, So I did the quiz and I feel like 224 00:11:51,654 --> 00:11:55,134 Speaker 5: a fraud because I feel like friendships and relationships are 225 00:11:55,174 --> 00:11:57,054 Speaker 5: kind of my wheelhouse here among me. I write a 226 00:11:57,094 --> 00:11:59,774 Speaker 5: lot about them, and I thought I really knew myself 227 00:11:59,814 --> 00:12:01,934 Speaker 5: and then I got my results and it was pretty 228 00:12:02,014 --> 00:12:04,414 Speaker 5: much the complete opposite of what I thought. No way, 229 00:12:04,614 --> 00:12:07,534 Speaker 5: I was labeled as a lone wolf. Really, and it's 230 00:12:07,574 --> 00:12:09,334 Speaker 5: said and you might like it that way, and I 231 00:12:09,374 --> 00:12:11,734 Speaker 5: do not like it that way at all. But when 232 00:12:11,774 --> 00:12:13,334 Speaker 5: I look back at my answers, it kind of made 233 00:12:13,374 --> 00:12:17,334 Speaker 5: sense because I think my social biome, I haven't been 234 00:12:17,414 --> 00:12:18,374 Speaker 5: nurturing it that well. 235 00:12:18,894 --> 00:12:20,934 Speaker 6: And this sounds like a full ad for the social prime. 236 00:12:21,054 --> 00:12:22,654 Speaker 5: I'n't been nurturing it that well, and I feel like 237 00:12:22,734 --> 00:12:26,094 Speaker 5: it's changed the older I've gotten. So there have been 238 00:12:26,174 --> 00:12:28,214 Speaker 5: times where one of the questions was when was the 239 00:12:28,294 --> 00:12:30,334 Speaker 5: last time you had a meaningful conversation with a friend? 240 00:12:30,374 --> 00:12:33,414 Speaker 5: And I actually don't remember. Okay, I haven't actually been 241 00:12:33,454 --> 00:12:37,934 Speaker 5: putting as much effort into my friendships and my relationships 242 00:12:38,014 --> 00:12:38,854 Speaker 5: as I used to. 243 00:12:39,334 --> 00:12:42,294 Speaker 3: But are you constantly surrounded by those people? So it's 244 00:12:42,334 --> 00:12:44,694 Speaker 3: one of those things where you are in constant conversation 245 00:12:44,774 --> 00:12:47,414 Speaker 3: and interaction, but it's not necessarily going deep. 246 00:12:47,494 --> 00:12:48,654 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not going deep. 247 00:12:48,774 --> 00:12:52,494 Speaker 5: I do avoid conversations more now than I used to before. 248 00:12:52,894 --> 00:12:54,854 Speaker 5: When there's a bit of conflict happening, like I kind 249 00:12:54,894 --> 00:12:56,654 Speaker 5: of shut down. I'm like, no, I don't have time 250 00:12:56,694 --> 00:12:58,094 Speaker 5: for this, so I don't want to get into this. 251 00:12:58,694 --> 00:13:02,254 Speaker 5: I do really value my alone time as well, but 252 00:13:02,454 --> 00:13:05,054 Speaker 5: like the quiz says, like when I am alone, I 253 00:13:05,174 --> 00:13:08,854 Speaker 5: don't still feel that connection with my friendship groups, and 254 00:13:08,894 --> 00:13:12,254 Speaker 5: I am always on socials, like I'm constantly checking social media, 255 00:13:12,334 --> 00:13:15,534 Speaker 5: like I've never had a relaxed moment alone the last 256 00:13:15,534 --> 00:13:17,574 Speaker 5: time I think about it, Like I've never actually just 257 00:13:17,654 --> 00:13:20,974 Speaker 5: sat by myself and felt comfortable. We have very social 258 00:13:21,094 --> 00:13:24,174 Speaker 5: jobs where we're on twenty four to seven, we're talking 259 00:13:24,214 --> 00:13:27,494 Speaker 5: on podcasts, we're writing a journalist. We have like a 260 00:13:27,614 --> 00:13:30,534 Speaker 5: very close office where you're just friends with your colleagues. 261 00:13:31,054 --> 00:13:33,174 Speaker 5: And I always thought that when I go home, that's 262 00:13:33,214 --> 00:13:35,854 Speaker 5: like my mean time, like I shut off, like I've 263 00:13:35,894 --> 00:13:38,534 Speaker 5: had my social time at work and I can just 264 00:13:38,574 --> 00:13:41,254 Speaker 5: relax in myself. And now I've realized that's kind of 265 00:13:41,374 --> 00:13:44,094 Speaker 5: changed a bit, like I actually am not as social 266 00:13:44,094 --> 00:13:46,174 Speaker 5: as I used to be at work because work has 267 00:13:46,214 --> 00:13:48,814 Speaker 5: gone so much now, And when I go home, that 268 00:13:48,854 --> 00:13:51,174 Speaker 5: habit hasn't changed either, Like I make less effort to 269 00:13:51,174 --> 00:13:53,854 Speaker 5: see friends because I'm always so tired. And I think 270 00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:57,494 Speaker 5: because I've done my social biom quiz in this part 271 00:13:57,534 --> 00:13:58,414 Speaker 5: of my lifetime. 272 00:13:58,534 --> 00:13:58,894 Speaker 2: Now. 273 00:13:59,214 --> 00:14:00,854 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really honed. 274 00:14:00,574 --> 00:14:02,974 Speaker 5: In on like how much I'm like missing out on 275 00:14:03,014 --> 00:14:04,934 Speaker 5: taking care of my social environment. 276 00:14:05,134 --> 00:14:06,334 Speaker 2: So what do you do to fix it? 277 00:14:06,414 --> 00:14:08,294 Speaker 5: They gave me a list. They gave me a list 278 00:14:08,294 --> 00:14:10,774 Speaker 5: of things to fix. Need to be more confident in 279 00:14:10,854 --> 00:14:14,454 Speaker 5: actually talking to strangers. It says that when you do 280 00:14:14,614 --> 00:14:17,574 Speaker 5: talk to strangers, you're opening yourself up for like more 281 00:14:17,614 --> 00:14:20,254 Speaker 5: interactions and you actually learn about yourself more, which I 282 00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:22,734 Speaker 5: do agree with. I need to have more meaningful conversation 283 00:14:22,774 --> 00:14:25,214 Speaker 5: with my friends. I used to do it. I've backed 284 00:14:25,254 --> 00:14:28,174 Speaker 5: off a bit. They probably realized I had no idea. 285 00:14:28,294 --> 00:14:30,054 Speaker 5: So I need to put more effort with friends. I 286 00:14:30,094 --> 00:14:32,614 Speaker 5: need to follow through with plans and make plans and 287 00:14:32,654 --> 00:14:34,414 Speaker 5: not rely on them to make the plans for me. 288 00:14:34,734 --> 00:14:37,414 Speaker 5: And when I am home and alone, I just need 289 00:14:37,414 --> 00:14:38,894 Speaker 5: to be okay with that, Like I just need to 290 00:14:38,934 --> 00:14:41,454 Speaker 5: be comfortable and that I need to relax, tend TV off, 291 00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:45,254 Speaker 5: stop checking social media. I don't know, deal a little meditation, slash, 292 00:14:45,294 --> 00:14:47,774 Speaker 5: read a book. Okay, what did you get? 293 00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:52,494 Speaker 3: I thought that I was pretty well socialized, and according 294 00:14:52,534 --> 00:14:56,214 Speaker 3: to this quiz, I am so the one area that 295 00:14:56,214 --> 00:14:59,054 Speaker 3: it's asked me to maybe consider working on is to 296 00:14:59,134 --> 00:15:02,494 Speaker 3: choose sociability so when the opportunity presents itself to make 297 00:15:02,494 --> 00:15:06,894 Speaker 3: small changes in how available I am in socializing. So 298 00:15:07,054 --> 00:15:09,454 Speaker 3: I think you're right, and people listening like, maybe you 299 00:15:09,614 --> 00:15:12,494 Speaker 3: work in a very social office. Yeah, maybe you get 300 00:15:12,534 --> 00:15:14,534 Speaker 3: all of your socializing done during the day and then 301 00:15:14,574 --> 00:15:16,894 Speaker 3: you come home and that's your quiet time. 302 00:15:17,414 --> 00:15:18,174 Speaker 2: Or the inverse. 303 00:15:18,214 --> 00:15:21,294 Speaker 3: Maybe you work solo and your only social interaction is 304 00:15:21,334 --> 00:15:23,774 Speaker 3: with your friends after work. And what do you think 305 00:15:23,814 --> 00:15:25,974 Speaker 3: this means for you and I now that we both 306 00:15:26,014 --> 00:15:27,294 Speaker 3: have areas of improvement? 307 00:15:27,454 --> 00:15:28,574 Speaker 6: Yes, it's hard. 308 00:15:28,734 --> 00:15:32,054 Speaker 5: I think what I hate about these kind of quizzes 309 00:15:32,294 --> 00:15:34,374 Speaker 5: is exactly what this one did, where it just gives 310 00:15:34,374 --> 00:15:36,454 Speaker 5: you a list of things that you need to check off. 311 00:15:36,494 --> 00:15:38,614 Speaker 5: And I feel like when you have to do something 312 00:15:38,654 --> 00:15:42,454 Speaker 5: like this that isn't actually work, but it feels like work, 313 00:15:42,494 --> 00:15:44,694 Speaker 5: you always put it in the back pocket, like you're like, 314 00:15:44,814 --> 00:15:47,614 Speaker 5: this is fine, I'm a fine friend, It's okay. But 315 00:15:48,294 --> 00:15:51,974 Speaker 5: it did make me realize that it is quite important 316 00:15:52,374 --> 00:15:54,774 Speaker 5: and it's not just the results you get, but when 317 00:15:54,774 --> 00:15:56,654 Speaker 5: you go back, because when you do the quiz, the 318 00:15:56,694 --> 00:15:58,934 Speaker 5: answers stay there, so when you go back to your 319 00:15:58,974 --> 00:16:02,134 Speaker 5: answers and actually re look at how you're answering each question. 320 00:16:02,654 --> 00:16:04,094 Speaker 5: It is a bit of a hit in the gut, 321 00:16:04,334 --> 00:16:06,574 Speaker 5: like you don't realize it, but you are kind of like, oh. 322 00:16:06,494 --> 00:16:09,214 Speaker 6: My god, am I a bad friend? Probably not? But 323 00:16:09,214 --> 00:16:10,374 Speaker 6: could I be a better one? Yes? 324 00:16:10,774 --> 00:16:13,414 Speaker 5: And I feel like so many people should try this quiz, 325 00:16:13,454 --> 00:16:16,374 Speaker 5: but also be aware of doing the quiz in like 326 00:16:16,494 --> 00:16:19,054 Speaker 5: what environment you are doing it in, because like we 327 00:16:19,134 --> 00:16:22,054 Speaker 5: obviously have different life stages, and we have talked about 328 00:16:22,134 --> 00:16:26,334 Speaker 5: like different friendships and dynamics and relationships and dynamics, and 329 00:16:26,694 --> 00:16:29,854 Speaker 5: I feel like your results could vary depending on your 330 00:16:30,054 --> 00:16:31,334 Speaker 5: frame of mind in that moment. 331 00:16:31,734 --> 00:16:34,334 Speaker 3: I'm going to put a link to this in the 332 00:16:34,374 --> 00:16:36,494 Speaker 3: show notes for today's episode.
