But what they don't realize is that when 166 00:07:07,582 --> 00:07:12,302 Speaker 1: everyone chooses themselves, no one chooses each other. And that's 167 00:07:12,342 --> 00:07:14,701 Speaker 1: how the world ends, not with a bang, but with 168 00:07:14,821 --> 00:07:18,862 Speaker 1: a thousand unopened invitations. These are the words of a 169 00:07:18,902 --> 00:07:22,262 Speaker 1: writer called Maser who has a newsletter called Personal Scriptures, 170 00:07:22,422 --> 00:07:26,342 Speaker 1: and producer Ruth put this into our consideration set to 171 00:07:26,381 --> 00:07:27,302 Speaker 1: talk about on the show. 172 00:07:27,381 --> 00:07:28,702 Speaker 3: Do you think she's trying to tell us that we're 173 00:07:28,742 --> 00:07:29,141 Speaker 3: a bitch? 174 00:07:29,302 --> 00:07:31,622 Speaker 1: Well, the newsletter was called You're a bitch, that's why 175 00:07:31,622 --> 00:07:32,341 Speaker 1: we lack community. 176 00:07:32,422 --> 00:07:33,582 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to get sent back. 177 00:07:34,182 --> 00:07:38,902 Speaker 1: It immediately got me and it is the most extraordinary 178 00:07:39,622 --> 00:07:43,982 Speaker 1: piece about Yeah, this idea of we all complained about community. 179 00:07:43,982 --> 00:07:46,622 Speaker 1: We all complain that we're lonely, but none of us 180 00:07:46,662 --> 00:07:49,661 Speaker 1: want to inconvenience ourselves to show up for someone else 181 00:07:49,982 --> 00:07:52,902 Speaker 1: or help someone else, or do anything that's out of 182 00:07:52,941 --> 00:07:54,422 Speaker 1: our comfort zone. You know. 183 00:07:54,662 --> 00:07:55,342 Speaker 4: We have a lot of. 184 00:07:55,262 --> 00:07:58,022 Speaker 1: Talk about boundaries. And after I read that, there were 185 00:07:58,062 --> 00:08:01,182 Speaker 1: two other things that I saw this week which sort 186 00:08:01,182 --> 00:08:04,021 Speaker 1: of I want to unpack all of them together. One 187 00:08:04,102 --> 00:08:07,141 Speaker 1: was a TikTok about the small favor economy, which also 188 00:08:07,222 --> 00:08:09,262 Speaker 1: relates to this idea of community. 189 00:08:09,662 --> 00:08:11,462 Speaker 5: Listen, I think it's okay to ask your friends for 190 00:08:11,502 --> 00:08:14,022 Speaker 5: ride to the airport, even lax, even at rush hour. 191 00:08:14,102 --> 00:08:16,942 Speaker 5: And actually it's more than okay. It's radical because there's 192 00:08:16,982 --> 00:08:18,941 Speaker 5: this thing called the small favors economy and the idea 193 00:08:19,022 --> 00:08:21,422 Speaker 5: is essentially that in the past, people used to rely 194 00:08:21,502 --> 00:08:23,982 Speaker 5: on their community, their network, their neighbors for small favors, 195 00:08:24,022 --> 00:08:25,941 Speaker 5: things like rides to the airport, things like a cup 196 00:08:25,982 --> 00:08:28,341 Speaker 5: of sugar, things like borrowing a dress for an event. 197 00:08:28,582 --> 00:08:32,542 Speaker 5: But now with late stage capitalism, those things all seem 198 00:08:32,622 --> 00:08:34,662 Speaker 5: like rude for us to ask, because we could just 199 00:08:34,702 --> 00:08:36,862 Speaker 5: do them ourselves, Like we could just call an uber 200 00:08:36,902 --> 00:08:38,901 Speaker 5: instead of inconveniencing a friend, or we could order a 201 00:08:39,022 --> 00:08:40,901 Speaker 5: dress on Amazon and have it get there tomorrow, or 202 00:08:40,942 --> 00:08:43,182 Speaker 5: we could like post made our groceries instead of like 203 00:08:43,222 --> 00:08:45,702 Speaker 5: asking around if anyone has anything. And that's actually really 204 00:08:45,702 --> 00:08:48,342 Speaker 5: bad because it drives us further into isolation from each 205 00:08:48,342 --> 00:08:50,582 Speaker 5: other and from our friends, which is good for literally 206 00:08:50,622 --> 00:08:52,142 Speaker 5: no one except for the people who are trying to 207 00:08:52,142 --> 00:08:53,542 Speaker 5: sell us stuff on our phones. 208 00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:55,822 Speaker 1: It's a little bit longer, but that's just the crux 209 00:08:55,862 --> 00:08:58,662 Speaker 1: of it. That's a digital strategist and content cretic called 210 00:08:58,702 --> 00:09:01,902 Speaker 1: Amelia Montooth. And then I read this story in The 211 00:09:01,902 --> 00:09:04,902 Speaker 1: Atlantic about how a wedding is a real test of 212 00:09:04,942 --> 00:09:08,462 Speaker 1: how many people will help you and how big events 213 00:09:08,462 --> 00:09:12,782 Speaker 1: in life, whether it's you know, a breakup or funeral 214 00:09:12,822 --> 00:09:16,062 Speaker 1: law or a wedding. You then really see people will 215 00:09:16,062 --> 00:09:18,582 Speaker 1: offer help, and it's a really good idea to accept 216 00:09:18,782 --> 00:09:19,302 Speaker 1: that help. 217 00:09:19,742 --> 00:09:22,942 Speaker 3: So the TikTok In particular, what she's talking about is 218 00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:28,182 Speaker 3: a studied psychological phenomenon called the Ben Franklin effect. The 219 00:09:28,182 --> 00:09:31,782 Speaker 3: Ben Franklin effect is the idea that people like you 220 00:09:31,902 --> 00:09:35,342 Speaker 3: more when they do you a favor. So it's like 221 00:09:35,382 --> 00:09:36,382 Speaker 3: a psychological trick. 222 00:09:36,462 --> 00:09:36,662 Speaker 1: Right. 223 00:09:36,822 --> 00:09:40,182 Speaker 3: I walk into work and I say, am, I am 224 00:09:40,422 --> 00:09:42,302 Speaker 3: running so late. I've got this segment that I meant 225 00:09:42,302 --> 00:09:45,102 Speaker 3: to prepare for. Can you just write me a few notes? 226 00:09:45,542 --> 00:09:47,942 Speaker 3: They wonder if it's because of cognitive dissonance, which is, 227 00:09:47,982 --> 00:09:50,982 Speaker 3: if you're sitting at your desk doing my notes for me, 228 00:09:51,302 --> 00:09:54,102 Speaker 3: then you're thinking, I must really like Jesse, Like, if 229 00:09:54,102 --> 00:09:55,542 Speaker 3: I'm doing this, I must really like her. 230 00:09:55,622 --> 00:09:58,142 Speaker 2: Can I say I must really like Jesse while also 231 00:09:58,142 --> 00:09:59,502 Speaker 2: saying God, this lazy bitch. 232 00:09:59,702 --> 00:10:01,702 Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing is, I think we all assume 233 00:10:01,782 --> 00:10:04,142 Speaker 3: that people are going to resent us because we've asked 234 00:10:04,182 --> 00:10:04,942 Speaker 3: them to do a favor. 235 00:10:05,102 --> 00:10:07,381 Speaker 1: Surely, resentment kicks in after a certain. 236 00:10:07,142 --> 00:10:11,262 Speaker 3: Pouse, exactly after a certain inflection point, but generally speaking. 237 00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:12,381 Speaker 1: That inflection point's called married. 238 00:10:12,822 --> 00:10:15,742 Speaker 3: We really enjoy doing favors for each other. People really 239 00:10:15,862 --> 00:10:20,182 Speaker 3: enjoy it. They like feeling helpful. There's also something called 240 00:10:20,342 --> 00:10:24,342 Speaker 3: reciprocity of liking is what the phenomenon's called. And basically, 241 00:10:24,382 --> 00:10:26,942 Speaker 3: if mea thinks I like her, then she's more likely 242 00:10:26,982 --> 00:10:28,942 Speaker 3: to like me. And when you ask someone for a favor, 243 00:10:28,942 --> 00:10:30,302 Speaker 3: often it suggests that they like you. 244 00:10:30,382 --> 00:10:31,542 Speaker 1: So it's an intimacy. 245 00:10:31,662 --> 00:10:33,142 Speaker 3: It's a real level of trust. 246 00:10:33,542 --> 00:10:36,422 Speaker 1: It is. And what I thought was amazing about both 247 00:10:36,462 --> 00:10:40,222 Speaker 1: the essay by Maser and this TikTok by Amelia was 248 00:10:40,822 --> 00:10:44,022 Speaker 1: this idea of how capitalism is robbing us of this, 249 00:10:44,542 --> 00:10:49,902 Speaker 1: how we've commoditized community air Tasker to Uber, to Amazon, 250 00:10:49,982 --> 00:10:53,902 Speaker 1: to all of these enormous corporations, and so we've stopped 251 00:10:53,942 --> 00:10:57,222 Speaker 1: asking each other for favors, and we've stopped offering to 252 00:10:57,262 --> 00:11:00,062 Speaker 1: do things for other people. Yeah, even making a meal. 253 00:11:00,182 --> 00:11:01,942 Speaker 1: We now can just go and buy something. 254 00:11:02,262 --> 00:11:05,342 Speaker 2: I wonder if the essay is less about capitalism but 255 00:11:05,422 --> 00:11:08,822 Speaker 2: more about just how society has changed in the way 256 00:11:08,902 --> 00:11:12,502 Speaker 2: where at a point we used to be embarrassed for 257 00:11:12,622 --> 00:11:14,982 Speaker 2: having to cancel plans or not want to go out 258 00:11:15,062 --> 00:11:17,782 Speaker 2: and not want to see people, and now it's just 259 00:11:17,862 --> 00:11:21,262 Speaker 2: so common to accept an excuse like, Hey, I'm actually 260 00:11:21,262 --> 00:11:23,462 Speaker 2: feeling really really tired, do you mind if I just 261 00:11:23,502 --> 00:11:25,822 Speaker 2: stay home today? Like people are just being so so 262 00:11:25,982 --> 00:11:27,582 Speaker 2: honest to why they don't want to go out. 263 00:11:27,742 --> 00:11:30,222 Speaker 1: But don't you think that that has been I'm going 264 00:11:30,262 --> 00:11:33,342 Speaker 1: to say selfishness in air quotes. But this idea of 265 00:11:33,382 --> 00:11:37,622 Speaker 1: putting yourself first always has become this moral high ground, 266 00:11:37,702 --> 00:11:40,142 Speaker 1: as if by putting myself first, I'm actually doing something 267 00:11:40,262 --> 00:11:41,262 Speaker 1: really great. 268 00:11:41,502 --> 00:11:42,262 Speaker 4: As a person. 269 00:11:42,302 --> 00:11:44,022 Speaker 2: If you're going to do that exactly what you said 270 00:11:44,062 --> 00:11:46,702 Speaker 2: before me, and when you do it over and over again, 271 00:11:47,142 --> 00:11:50,102 Speaker 2: because it's good to put yourself first, but that means 272 00:11:50,102 --> 00:11:52,862 Speaker 2: you're putting someone else last, and it's usually the person 273 00:11:52,902 --> 00:11:54,862 Speaker 2: that you're either canceling on or you said you're going 274 00:11:54,902 --> 00:11:56,902 Speaker 2: to make plans with and you don't want to see anymore. 275 00:11:57,502 --> 00:11:59,302 Speaker 2: I feel like everyone will have a person in their 276 00:11:59,302 --> 00:12:00,982 Speaker 2: life who they used to be friends with, and then 277 00:12:01,022 --> 00:12:03,542 Speaker 2: the same person will just cancel and cancel and cancel, 278 00:12:03,942 --> 00:12:06,261 Speaker 2: and you might keep inviting them out again, but you're 279 00:12:06,302 --> 00:12:09,862 Speaker 2: less likely to coming to the wedding example, you're less 280 00:12:09,902 --> 00:12:11,702 Speaker 2: likely to lean on them for help because you're so 281 00:12:11,742 --> 00:12:13,502 Speaker 2: scared that they're going to cancel on you and not 282 00:12:13,542 --> 00:12:16,142 Speaker 2: show up, you're less likely to If you have an 283 00:12:16,182 --> 00:12:18,102 Speaker 2: extra ticket to an event, you're less likely to invite 284 00:12:18,142 --> 00:12:20,982 Speaker 2: them because it's also that same fear of constant rejection 285 00:12:21,102 --> 00:12:23,462 Speaker 2: you're getting from a person. And I think it also 286 00:12:23,502 --> 00:12:26,302 Speaker 2: comes down to when you are canceling plans and like 287 00:12:26,342 --> 00:12:28,462 Speaker 2: the essays said, you will cancel and you'll stay at 288 00:12:28,502 --> 00:12:31,102 Speaker 2: home and either doom scroll TikTok, or you'll just watch 289 00:12:31,142 --> 00:12:34,381 Speaker 2: the TV show and repeat. If you are still living 290 00:12:34,422 --> 00:12:36,622 Speaker 2: with other people, like if you live with a partner, 291 00:12:36,822 --> 00:12:38,862 Speaker 2: or you have pets, or you have kids, or you 292 00:12:38,902 --> 00:12:42,822 Speaker 2: have housemates, you're still inadvertently getting that sense of community. 293 00:12:43,422 --> 00:12:45,422 Speaker 2: The person who's not getting that sense of the community 294 00:12:45,462 --> 00:12:46,982 Speaker 2: is a person who lives alone that you could have 295 00:12:47,022 --> 00:12:49,902 Speaker 2: canceled on. And this is something that I've had to 296 00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:52,182 Speaker 2: go over and over in my head because I do 297 00:12:52,262 --> 00:12:55,062 Speaker 2: live alone. Around twenty eight percent of the Australian population 298 00:12:55,182 --> 00:12:57,062 Speaker 2: lives alone, and it's more common for people who live 299 00:12:57,062 --> 00:13:00,022 Speaker 2: alone to have depression. That for me, whenever I cancel 300 00:13:00,022 --> 00:13:02,422 Speaker 2: plans because I want to be alone at home, it's 301 00:13:02,422 --> 00:13:04,982 Speaker 2: a signal for me that I'm going into that depressive state, 302 00:13:05,102 --> 00:13:08,062 Speaker 2: especially if I repeat it over and over again. And 303 00:13:08,142 --> 00:13:11,462 Speaker 2: whenever someone cancel plans on me constantly to hang out 304 00:13:11,502 --> 00:13:13,622 Speaker 2: by themselves at home, even though they might be with 305 00:13:13,702 --> 00:13:16,302 Speaker 2: other people that they live with, they don't realize that 306 00:13:16,382 --> 00:13:18,342 Speaker 2: I don't have that sense of community, and I actually 307 00:13:18,422 --> 00:13:22,382 Speaker 2: need to physically keep going to achieve that and find that. 308 00:13:21,902 --> 00:13:25,182 Speaker 3: That's so true because we're also not very good at 309 00:13:25,222 --> 00:13:28,462 Speaker 3: knowing or predicting what will make us happy. So I've 310 00:13:28,622 --> 00:13:31,422 Speaker 3: talked before. I remember we did a no Filter probably 311 00:13:31,462 --> 00:13:33,982 Speaker 3: two years ago now Maya, where I spoke about depression 312 00:13:33,982 --> 00:13:37,342 Speaker 3: and how the nature of depression is that you feel 313 00:13:37,342 --> 00:13:39,982 Speaker 3: pulled towards doing things that are going to make you 314 00:13:40,022 --> 00:13:43,261 Speaker 3: more unhappy. And people in my family who who the 315 00:13:43,342 --> 00:13:46,062 Speaker 3: truth depression for a long time say the trick is 316 00:13:46,102 --> 00:13:47,982 Speaker 3: doing the opposite of what you feel like doing. So 317 00:13:47,982 --> 00:13:49,862 Speaker 3: if you feel like laying in bed all day, get up. 318 00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,742 Speaker 3: If you don't feel like eating, eat that sort of thing. 319 00:13:52,262 --> 00:13:55,182 Speaker 3: And so when we sit at home and we think 320 00:13:55,382 --> 00:13:57,382 Speaker 3: I really don't want to go out, I think I'm 321 00:13:57,382 --> 00:14:00,982 Speaker 3: gonna put myself first or whatever that language is, then 322 00:14:01,342 --> 00:14:04,742 Speaker 3: often that's just going to lead to us feeling worse. 323 00:14:05,182 --> 00:14:07,742 Speaker 3: And I don't think that any of this is because 324 00:14:08,222 --> 00:14:10,022 Speaker 3: you're a bitch. That's the one thing that I kind 325 00:14:10,022 --> 00:14:12,542 Speaker 3: of took issue. I know that it's a really great headliner. 326 00:14:12,662 --> 00:14:14,902 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone is a bitch. Well, I do. 327 00:14:15,022 --> 00:14:17,422 Speaker 3: I could probably name a few bitches, but not generally. 328 00:14:18,142 --> 00:14:20,542 Speaker 3: I just think we live in a culture that privileges 329 00:14:20,782 --> 00:14:24,662 Speaker 3: self reliance and independence, and any studies that are done 330 00:14:24,822 --> 00:14:28,662 Speaker 3: on cultures that have more of a collectivist approach and 331 00:14:29,102 --> 00:14:32,262 Speaker 3: understand themselves to be part of a whole, they approach 332 00:14:32,302 --> 00:14:35,262 Speaker 3: it really differently. They do feel more comfortable asking for favors, 333 00:14:35,342 --> 00:14:39,542 Speaker 3: and there's often greater satisfaction and happiness because we don't 334 00:14:39,542 --> 00:14:40,502 Speaker 3: feel so isolated. 335 00:14:40,782 --> 00:14:42,862 Speaker 1: I have never had a plan that I didn't want 336 00:14:42,902 --> 00:14:45,982 Speaker 1: to cancel. I've never had a holiday that I didn't 337 00:14:45,982 --> 00:14:48,662 Speaker 1: want to cancel or come home early from like almost never. 338 00:14:49,582 --> 00:14:53,582 Speaker 1: And I wonder if it's a symptom. Particularly lately, I've 339 00:14:53,622 --> 00:14:57,702 Speaker 1: found myself more and more shut in, and I wonder 340 00:14:57,742 --> 00:15:02,902 Speaker 1: if there's it's probably no coincidence that the world feels 341 00:15:03,022 --> 00:15:06,062 Speaker 1: very scary at the moment, both from a big picture 342 00:15:06,542 --> 00:15:10,382 Speaker 1: sort of geopolitical sense and wars and what's going on 343 00:15:10,462 --> 00:15:14,142 Speaker 1: in Gaza and Israel and Iran and everything, and just 344 00:15:14,182 --> 00:15:17,902 Speaker 1: also there's the general situation around America and Trump and 345 00:15:17,942 --> 00:15:21,502 Speaker 1: the way he's turned the world into chaos. But also 346 00:15:21,582 --> 00:15:24,982 Speaker 1: closer to home, I've experienced some sort of a lot 347 00:15:25,022 --> 00:15:31,022 Speaker 1: of scrutiny and attention lately, and sometimes everything feels quite unsafe, 348 00:15:31,382 --> 00:15:33,822 Speaker 1: so I want to just stay home. It's like my 349 00:15:33,862 --> 00:15:36,582 Speaker 1: body goes into fight or flight and it's like it's 350 00:15:36,582 --> 00:15:39,182 Speaker 1: not safe out there. Just stay home, just stay contained 351 00:15:39,262 --> 00:15:42,902 Speaker 1: in a small space. But when I do push myself 352 00:15:43,142 --> 00:15:45,782 Speaker 1: to go out, I always I am so glad that I did. 353 00:15:46,182 --> 00:15:49,022 Speaker 3: And the question is what you then do when you 354 00:15:49,062 --> 00:15:51,822 Speaker 3: are at home alone, is pick up the phone and 355 00:15:51,822 --> 00:15:53,902 Speaker 3: look at things that are going to reinforce the sense. 356 00:15:54,862 --> 00:15:57,462 Speaker 1: It's not like I sit home and meditate or look 357 00:15:57,462 --> 00:16:01,342 Speaker 1: at the garden, or read a book or enrich myself. 358 00:16:01,382 --> 00:16:05,062 Speaker 1: You're right, I end up doom scrolling and perpetuating. Well, 359 00:16:05,062 --> 00:16:07,142 Speaker 1: I do perpetuate this fight or flight response. 360 00:16:07,222 --> 00:16:09,862 Speaker 3: Do you think as well that we're addicted, quite literally 361 00:16:09,862 --> 00:16:13,102 Speaker 3: addicted to convenience. So what we were saying before about 362 00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:14,982 Speaker 3: you don't have milk, I'll jump onto an app. You 363 00:16:14,982 --> 00:16:16,502 Speaker 3: can get it in fifteen minutes. This is if you 364 00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:18,702 Speaker 3: live in cities there's a lot of listeners who don't 365 00:16:18,702 --> 00:16:22,062 Speaker 3: have that. But even like addicted to the control of 366 00:16:22,102 --> 00:16:24,022 Speaker 3: knowing what the weather's going to be tomorrow, all that 367 00:16:24,102 --> 00:16:25,062 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. 368 00:16:24,782 --> 00:16:29,382 Speaker 1: Our muscle for dealing with inconvenience or discomfort or delayed gratification. 369 00:16:29,462 --> 00:16:31,222 Speaker 1: So we is so flabby. 370 00:16:31,302 --> 00:16:34,022 Speaker 3: So I have someone who's very close to being and 371 00:16:34,422 --> 00:16:36,702 Speaker 3: I will say, hey, I want to go visit this 372 00:16:36,822 --> 00:16:39,902 Speaker 3: friend over the weekend, and this person will go, oh, 373 00:16:39,982 --> 00:16:42,422 Speaker 3: abo's thirty minutes in the car. That's inconvenient. And I 374 00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:45,182 Speaker 3: keep saying relationships are inconvenience. 375 00:16:45,262 --> 00:16:45,942 Speaker 1: That's all out. 376 00:16:46,702 --> 00:16:50,142 Speaker 3: They are incredibly inconvenient. And a relationship built just on 377 00:16:50,302 --> 00:16:54,302 Speaker 3: mutual convenience isn't really a relationship with any depth. There 378 00:16:54,342 --> 00:16:56,702 Speaker 3: was a great line in that article that was as 379 00:16:56,702 --> 00:16:59,582 Speaker 3: if connection isn't made of small, tiring and glamorous acts, 380 00:16:59,622 --> 00:17:01,942 Speaker 3: And that's so true. It's like you've got yourself out. 381 00:17:02,062 --> 00:17:05,782 Speaker 1: Inconvenience is the tax that you pay for community and relationship, right, 382 00:17:05,862 --> 00:17:10,182 Speaker 1: whether it's friendship or whatever. If you're never ever doing 383 00:17:10,222 --> 00:17:13,741 Speaker 1: something that makes you uncomfortable or inconvenienced, you may as 384 00:17:13,742 --> 00:17:15,661 Speaker 1: well just live in solitary confinement. 385 00:17:15,782 --> 00:17:17,381 Speaker 4: Surely, it's also. 386 00:17:17,262 --> 00:17:19,942 Speaker 2: Like really sad that it always comes with an element 387 00:17:20,022 --> 00:17:22,861 Speaker 2: of surprise when someone does want to do something for you, 388 00:17:22,942 --> 00:17:26,101 Speaker 2: like yeah, with weddings and funerals, like you're always so shocked, 389 00:17:26,101 --> 00:17:28,381 Speaker 2: like I can't believe she sent so many flowers. I 390 00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:30,701 Speaker 2: can't believe she just took over the booklet and the 391 00:17:30,742 --> 00:17:34,141 Speaker 2: planning and everything, when sometimes I'm just like, that should 392 00:17:34,182 --> 00:17:34,621 Speaker 2: be a given. 393 00:17:34,742 --> 00:17:36,222 Speaker 1: Do you know that the people in your life should 394 00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:40,142 Speaker 1: be doing research around this? People dramatically underestimate others' willingness 395 00:17:40,222 --> 00:17:42,502 Speaker 1: to help exactly what you say, by as much as 396 00:17:42,542 --> 00:17:43,302 Speaker 1: fifty percent. 397 00:17:43,782 --> 00:17:44,702 Speaker 4: That seems like a lot. 398 00:17:44,782 --> 00:17:50,421 Speaker 1: Yeah, And we always overestimate how inconvenient a requests will be. Fathers. 399 00:17:50,621 --> 00:17:52,502 Speaker 3: I have a friend who just had a baby, and 400 00:17:52,542 --> 00:17:54,302 Speaker 3: she had a commitment that she had to do, and 401 00:17:54,341 --> 00:17:56,462 Speaker 3: she messaged me and said, is there any way they'd 402 00:17:56,502 --> 00:17:58,342 Speaker 3: come around and just hold the baby for an hour? 403 00:17:58,621 --> 00:18:02,502 Speaker 3: I was so excited because I was so desperate to 404 00:18:02,542 --> 00:18:04,381 Speaker 3: help her, and I'd been doing the thing you're not 405 00:18:04,422 --> 00:18:06,182 Speaker 3: meant to do, which is how can I help? Because 406 00:18:06,222 --> 00:18:07,782 Speaker 3: I didn't know. I know sometimes you can put your 407 00:18:07,782 --> 00:18:09,981 Speaker 3: foot in it, but I was like, I'm actually desperate 408 00:18:09,982 --> 00:18:11,702 Speaker 3: to do that for you, and I will feel closer 409 00:18:11,821 --> 00:18:12,861 Speaker 3: to you at the end of Yeah. 410 00:18:12,982 --> 00:18:15,861 Speaker 1: Yeah, what's hard though. Also, I know we talk a 411 00:18:15,901 --> 00:18:19,382 Speaker 1: lot about askers and guesses when you factor that in 412 00:18:19,542 --> 00:18:21,502 Speaker 1: and askers and guesses, and asker is someone who asks 413 00:18:21,502 --> 00:18:23,022 Speaker 1: for what they want, and a guesser is someone who 414 00:18:23,022 --> 00:18:26,342 Speaker 1: wants you to guess what they want. And sometimes that 415 00:18:26,381 --> 00:18:30,302 Speaker 1: can be challenging because it doesn't occur to a guesser 416 00:18:30,462 --> 00:18:33,061 Speaker 1: to ask what someone else would want, and it doesn't 417 00:18:33,141 --> 00:18:35,421 Speaker 1: occur to an asker to have to guess. 418 00:18:35,621 --> 00:18:38,022 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're walking around going, well, what do you want 419 00:18:38,022 --> 00:18:38,262 Speaker 3: from me? 420 00:18:38,742 --> 00:18:40,662 Speaker 1: So that's why you've got an one pretty well. Like Jesse, 421 00:18:40,702 --> 00:18:43,742 Speaker 1: I know that you're a guesser, so I don't ask 422 00:18:43,821 --> 00:18:45,901 Speaker 1: you what you want. This could come across as an 423 00:18:45,942 --> 00:18:48,061 Speaker 1: imposition I just do things. 424 00:18:48,222 --> 00:18:50,861 Speaker 3: Send me links to what Luna for her bathday? 425 00:18:51,581 --> 00:18:53,742 Speaker 2: You make yourself a guesser because you know, Jessie. 426 00:18:53,861 --> 00:18:56,581 Speaker 1: No, I just I don't wait to be asked that. 427 00:18:57,302 --> 00:18:59,302 Speaker 1: I don't wait to be asked because I think that 428 00:18:59,381 --> 00:19:01,462 Speaker 1: you can kid yourself and go, oh, they haven't asked, 429 00:19:01,782 --> 00:19:03,222 Speaker 1: therefore they don't need anything. 430 00:19:03,901 --> 00:19:05,381 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I. 431 00:19:05,302 --> 00:19:08,461 Speaker 2: Also think love languages come into this as well, like, 432 00:19:08,502 --> 00:19:10,821 Speaker 2: for example, I have a friend who was really sick 433 00:19:10,901 --> 00:19:14,181 Speaker 2: and she was in hospital, and my love language is gifting, Like, 434 00:19:14,262 --> 00:19:16,422 Speaker 2: I think the best thing I could do is sent 435 00:19:16,462 --> 00:19:19,861 Speaker 2: her flowers, And then I remember that her love language 436 00:19:19,942 --> 00:19:22,941 Speaker 2: is acts of service, So for her, she's probably like, 437 00:19:23,222 --> 00:19:23,742 Speaker 2: just help. 438 00:19:23,581 --> 00:19:27,382 Speaker 4: Me go to the bathroom. I don't know what to. 439 00:19:27,302 --> 00:19:30,182 Speaker 1: Deal with your shitty flower. Then my question is, what's 440 00:19:30,182 --> 00:19:33,061 Speaker 1: the difference between paying someone to go and clean your 441 00:19:33,101 --> 00:19:37,101 Speaker 1: house or paying for a meal to be delivered versus 442 00:19:37,222 --> 00:19:40,701 Speaker 1: making the meal yourself, or going over and stacking her 443 00:19:40,782 --> 00:19:44,181 Speaker 1: dish washer and vacuuming her house yourself. How would you 444 00:19:44,222 --> 00:19:49,661 Speaker 1: feel differently if Sam I sent over a voucher for 445 00:19:49,702 --> 00:19:52,502 Speaker 1: a meal or got something delivered that I hadn't made, 446 00:19:53,182 --> 00:19:55,582 Speaker 1: or I made something myself. The end of the day 447 00:19:55,581 --> 00:19:58,902 Speaker 1: you're eating both ways, would you feel differently? 448 00:19:59,341 --> 00:20:01,982 Speaker 2: I would feel differently, which is kind of shitty because 449 00:20:02,022 --> 00:20:03,661 Speaker 2: I think it's like kind of this, you're doing the 450 00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:06,302 Speaker 2: same thing essentially. But I also think it comes down 451 00:20:06,341 --> 00:20:08,341 Speaker 2: when in your head you're seeing how much time that 452 00:20:08,381 --> 00:20:11,981 Speaker 2: person put into it. We're dinner voucher such a beautiful gift, 453 00:20:12,101 --> 00:20:14,341 Speaker 2: But at the same time, if you had made something 454 00:20:14,381 --> 00:20:16,142 Speaker 2: and given it to me, I'm like, she went up 455 00:20:16,182 --> 00:20:18,581 Speaker 2: and bought the grocery, she spent time in the kitchen, 456 00:20:18,621 --> 00:20:20,461 Speaker 2: she spent time driving to my house to give it 457 00:20:20,502 --> 00:20:22,142 Speaker 2: to me. If you're at my house, you might also 458 00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:24,821 Speaker 2: help me clean and serve me. Like it's the extra 459 00:20:24,901 --> 00:20:27,221 Speaker 2: little things I feel like in your head makes it 460 00:20:27,262 --> 00:20:29,462 Speaker 2: feel like it's more, And it kind of is more 461 00:20:29,502 --> 00:20:30,181 Speaker 2: if you think about it. 462 00:20:30,302 --> 00:20:33,101 Speaker 1: It's back to that inconvenience, right, It's the inconvenience that 463 00:20:33,182 --> 00:20:34,542 Speaker 1: says to someone you matter. 464 00:20:34,982 --> 00:20:38,862 Speaker 3: It's also existing in a productivity kind of centered society 465 00:20:38,901 --> 00:20:41,381 Speaker 3: and also an outcome centered society where it's like whatever 466 00:20:41,422 --> 00:20:43,821 Speaker 3: the outcome or the results or the thing that sits 467 00:20:43,861 --> 00:20:45,741 Speaker 3: on the table, it's like, we don't even want to 468 00:20:45,742 --> 00:20:48,581 Speaker 3: think about kind of I've had this argument with a 469 00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:50,741 Speaker 3: friend too about whether it's the thought that counts, and 470 00:20:50,782 --> 00:20:52,222 Speaker 3: I'm like, I actually think all of the thought and 471 00:20:52,262 --> 00:20:54,101 Speaker 3: all of the effort does count for a lot, But 472 00:20:54,182 --> 00:20:56,462 Speaker 3: sometimes I don't think it's seen that way. Recently, there 473 00:20:56,462 --> 00:20:59,061 Speaker 3: was someone in our community who was sick and they 474 00:20:59,182 --> 00:21:00,861 Speaker 3: cooked all day and went and dropped off food, and 475 00:21:00,901 --> 00:21:03,421 Speaker 3: I was like, what, Like it didn't even occur. I 476 00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:05,181 Speaker 3: would do the dinner ladies about her. That's what I 477 00:21:05,182 --> 00:21:07,222 Speaker 3: do mostly because I can't cook, and I wouldn't put 478 00:21:07,262 --> 00:21:07,621 Speaker 3: that off it. 479 00:21:07,661 --> 00:21:10,221 Speaker 1: Maybe you could write them some You could write poem. 480 00:21:10,462 --> 00:21:13,381 Speaker 1: You could write a poem because cooking is not something 481 00:21:13,381 --> 00:21:15,222 Speaker 1: that you're good at, the same with me, like I 482 00:21:15,262 --> 00:21:17,582 Speaker 1: would not burden someone by cooking. 483 00:21:17,742 --> 00:21:23,341 Speaker 3: So the conclusion is, write more poems out louders in 484 00:21:23,381 --> 00:21:25,621 Speaker 3: a moment. Have you ever turned up to an open 485 00:21:25,661 --> 00:21:28,382 Speaker 3: house or inspection and it looks nothing like the photos? 486 00:21:28,581 --> 00:21:31,502 Speaker 3: You're not imagining it. We unpack the trick being used 487 00:21:31,542 --> 00:21:38,702 Speaker 3: to lure renters, and we've got recommendations coming up. You're 488 00:21:38,742 --> 00:21:42,141 Speaker 3: scrolling through potential properties, either to rent or to buy 489 00:21:42,341 --> 00:21:46,702 Speaker 3: right and you look at just a stunning property. We're 490 00:21:46,742 --> 00:21:50,741 Speaker 3: talking stunning light. That living room looks very spacious, the 491 00:21:50,821 --> 00:21:52,141 Speaker 3: carpet so soft. 492 00:21:52,222 --> 00:21:53,182 Speaker 4: So I can't afford it. 493 00:21:53,222 --> 00:21:57,102 Speaker 3: No, you definitely can't to it. Goodness, both bedrooms fit 494 00:21:57,141 --> 00:22:00,742 Speaker 3: a double bed. Can you even imagine luxury? There's even 495 00:22:00,782 --> 00:22:03,101 Speaker 3: a fireplace. Look, it's burning in the corner fireplace. 496 00:22:07,061 --> 00:22:07,661 Speaker 1: It's on the bottom. 497 00:22:07,982 --> 00:22:08,741 Speaker 3: Can you even believe it? 498 00:22:08,782 --> 00:22:10,982 Speaker 1: There's a fire peer that's crazy. 499 00:22:11,341 --> 00:22:12,262 Speaker 4: Where's it going? 500 00:22:12,381 --> 00:22:16,462 Speaker 3: No one asked questions. I'm going to register for an inspection. 501 00:22:16,982 --> 00:22:19,341 Speaker 3: But then you get there, there's only one window and 502 00:22:19,381 --> 00:22:21,422 Speaker 3: it looks like something out of a jail cell. Oh no, 503 00:22:21,581 --> 00:22:23,662 Speaker 3: you can touch both walls while standing in the center 504 00:22:23,661 --> 00:22:26,421 Speaker 3: of sor then the carpet is actually a rug and 505 00:22:26,462 --> 00:22:28,262 Speaker 3: that belongs to the owners and they'll be taking it back. 506 00:22:29,061 --> 00:22:32,861 Speaker 3: That second bedroom it might only fit a kid's single 507 00:22:33,502 --> 00:22:36,421 Speaker 3: trundle bed, and the fireplace is actually a hole in 508 00:22:36,462 --> 00:22:37,901 Speaker 3: the wall left by the previous tenant. 509 00:22:38,141 --> 00:22:40,902 Speaker 2: It had a very raging note what happened. 510 00:22:41,502 --> 00:22:44,901 Speaker 3: What happened is AI Like, if you have a sense 511 00:22:45,262 --> 00:22:47,982 Speaker 3: that you're being personally victimized by the marketing of real 512 00:22:48,101 --> 00:22:52,222 Speaker 3: estate agents, you are not imagining it. I have personally 513 00:22:52,742 --> 00:22:55,221 Speaker 3: been to that inspection where I go, this is simply 514 00:22:55,262 --> 00:22:57,061 Speaker 3: not what I saw online. I'm being you know what 515 00:22:57,101 --> 00:22:59,502 Speaker 3: I'm being I'm being gasolate lit. I'm being gas lit 516 00:22:59,782 --> 00:23:02,701 Speaker 3: by real estate agents, by the fake fire and there 517 00:23:02,702 --> 00:23:05,622 Speaker 3: are currently calls for an Australian wide crackdown on real 518 00:23:05,702 --> 00:23:08,102 Speaker 3: estate ads that use AI. So the New South Wales 519 00:23:08,302 --> 00:23:11,982 Speaker 3: state government has cited examples of real estate agents using 520 00:23:12,022 --> 00:23:15,141 Speaker 3: AI generated furniture that showed a double bed in a 521 00:23:15,222 --> 00:23:17,941 Speaker 3: room that could literally only fit a single bed and 522 00:23:18,061 --> 00:23:21,661 Speaker 3: modifying photos to obscure property damage. It is not that 523 00:23:21,861 --> 00:23:26,461 Speaker 3: unusual for them to put a fire like an actual 524 00:23:26,542 --> 00:23:29,022 Speaker 3: like lip fire in a fireplace that either doesn't work 525 00:23:29,262 --> 00:23:31,821 Speaker 3: like isn't functional, and it's just literally like an AI 526 00:23:31,901 --> 00:23:34,461 Speaker 3: generated image stuck in there. And for a long time 527 00:23:34,502 --> 00:23:37,462 Speaker 3: they've been allowed to do that. Is anyone else finding 528 00:23:37,502 --> 00:23:40,461 Speaker 3: themselves increasingly tricked by AI? I thought I was savvy, 529 00:23:40,861 --> 00:23:42,141 Speaker 3: and I no longer feel savvy. 530 00:23:42,222 --> 00:23:45,582 Speaker 1: This really surprised me to hear, because of course, now 531 00:23:45,581 --> 00:23:48,341 Speaker 1: that you say it, I can see it. But about 532 00:23:48,381 --> 00:23:51,022 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, I was the chair of the then 533 00:23:51,061 --> 00:23:55,581 Speaker 1: federal government's National Body Image Advisory Board, and we were 534 00:23:55,782 --> 00:23:58,261 Speaker 1: tasked by the government at looking at a whole lot 535 00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:01,502 Speaker 1: of things that we could do, guidelines and initiatives for 536 00:24:01,581 --> 00:24:05,141 Speaker 1: the fashion industry, the advertising industry, the media industry that 537 00:24:05,182 --> 00:24:08,782 Speaker 1: would improve body image. And one of the things that 538 00:24:08,901 --> 00:24:13,422 Speaker 1: we proposed was that there be mandatory declaration when images 539 00:24:13,422 --> 00:24:16,262 Speaker 1: had been photo shopped, because you know, back in the day, 540 00:24:16,702 --> 00:24:20,181 Speaker 1: now it's of course pandemic, but magazine covers and magazine 541 00:24:20,222 --> 00:24:23,982 Speaker 1: images and advertising images had always been retouched. You didn't 542 00:24:24,022 --> 00:24:26,461 Speaker 1: have to declare it. And at the time it was 543 00:24:26,542 --> 00:24:29,662 Speaker 1: compared to someone made the point that with real estate images, 544 00:24:30,462 --> 00:24:35,462 Speaker 1: if you show like a view of Bondai Beach and 545 00:24:36,022 --> 00:24:38,462 Speaker 1: there's not an actual view, but it just is in 546 00:24:41,061 --> 00:24:42,861 Speaker 1: you used to have to have a discrimus saying not 547 00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:46,502 Speaker 1: actual view. Really Yeah, so there was that was really 548 00:24:46,502 --> 00:24:49,141 Speaker 1: strict around truth in advertising. The reason I brought that 549 00:24:49,222 --> 00:24:51,341 Speaker 1: up is that we made the point that it was 550 00:24:51,742 --> 00:24:53,901 Speaker 1: absurd that you could have a picture of a human 551 00:24:54,381 --> 00:24:56,781 Speaker 1: but you didn't have to say not actual human. It 552 00:24:56,821 --> 00:25:00,182 Speaker 1: was created essentially by photoshop, which is a version of AI. 553 00:25:00,982 --> 00:25:04,542 Speaker 1: So I'm so surprised that all of those things have 554 00:25:04,861 --> 00:25:08,141 Speaker 1: I think probably industries just haven't caught up with technology, 555 00:25:08,341 --> 00:25:09,502 Speaker 1: haven't caught up with AI. 556 00:25:09,581 --> 00:25:12,181 Speaker 3: You're talking about. It sounds so archaic that you would 557 00:25:12,182 --> 00:25:17,742 Speaker 3: have to declare because now I imagery is totally ubiquitous. 558 00:25:17,821 --> 00:25:22,622 Speaker 3: You'll see aiimage that's allegedly from a war zone, or 559 00:25:22,661 --> 00:25:25,302 Speaker 3: an AI image of Donald Trump doing something he simply 560 00:25:25,381 --> 00:25:28,061 Speaker 3: did not do, like that's everywhere. And what that does 561 00:25:28,141 --> 00:25:29,981 Speaker 3: to the human race when you can't look at an 562 00:25:29,982 --> 00:25:32,181 Speaker 3: image and trust it is something I don't like to 563 00:25:32,182 --> 00:25:33,022 Speaker 3: think about too much. 564 00:25:33,101 --> 00:25:35,621 Speaker 2: I wonder if it's also because especially with rents. We 565 00:25:35,661 --> 00:25:39,262 Speaker 2: are in a rental crisis right now. People are desperate 566 00:25:39,861 --> 00:25:43,061 Speaker 2: to find somewhere to live. And I wonder if it's 567 00:25:43,182 --> 00:25:45,981 Speaker 2: just real estate going well, people will come no matter what. 568 00:25:46,222 --> 00:25:48,861 Speaker 2: So what's the point of doing all this extra legwork 569 00:25:48,942 --> 00:25:50,701 Speaker 2: when we just know there'll be hordes of lines for 570 00:25:50,742 --> 00:25:51,621 Speaker 2: people to see this place? 571 00:25:51,661 --> 00:25:54,621 Speaker 3: Well, the argument is that what you're essentially doing is 572 00:25:54,661 --> 00:25:57,461 Speaker 3: like you're really wasting people's time. So if someone is 573 00:25:57,462 --> 00:25:59,621 Speaker 3: in and I've been in this position between rental properties 574 00:25:59,621 --> 00:26:01,142 Speaker 3: where I've been kicked out of A and I need 575 00:26:01,182 --> 00:26:03,782 Speaker 3: to move into B, there's only so many properties I 576 00:26:03,821 --> 00:26:06,381 Speaker 3: can visit. And I was the person who I was 577 00:26:06,381 --> 00:26:08,861 Speaker 3: in a room clearing my sister and her boyfriend were 578 00:26:08,861 --> 00:26:10,981 Speaker 3: in a room. Did two rooms that could have humans 579 00:26:10,982 --> 00:26:11,221 Speaker 3: in them? 580 00:26:11,381 --> 00:26:11,621 Speaker 1: Right? 581 00:26:11,901 --> 00:26:15,901 Speaker 3: And so you'd go and say this place is unlivable. 582 00:26:15,462 --> 00:26:17,861 Speaker 1: For two bed yas, you've wasted our time. 583 00:26:17,942 --> 00:26:19,622 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've wasted our time when I could have gone 584 00:26:19,621 --> 00:26:22,902 Speaker 3: and seen this property that actually offers me somewhat what 585 00:26:22,942 --> 00:26:25,142 Speaker 3: I want. So I think that that's the crackdown too, 586 00:26:25,262 --> 00:26:28,061 Speaker 3: is just going You can't do that to people. It's 587 00:26:28,061 --> 00:26:29,262 Speaker 3: incredibly manipulative. 588 00:26:29,702 --> 00:26:30,662 Speaker 1: Have you been tricked by. 589 00:26:30,581 --> 00:26:33,461 Speaker 2: AO Okay, look, I wasn't gonna bring this up, but 590 00:26:34,621 --> 00:26:36,542 Speaker 2: this only happened a few weeks ago, which makes me 591 00:26:36,702 --> 00:26:37,621 Speaker 2: even more shameful. 592 00:26:37,821 --> 00:26:38,222 Speaker 4: I was on. 593 00:26:38,182 --> 00:26:41,861 Speaker 2: TikTok and I was watching this video and it was 594 00:26:41,861 --> 00:26:44,981 Speaker 2: one of those like mini documentary videos about this really 595 00:26:45,222 --> 00:26:48,302 Speaker 2: rare fish that these fishermen found, and it was like 596 00:26:48,302 --> 00:26:50,022 Speaker 2: this huge, huge I think it was like a five 597 00:26:50,061 --> 00:26:53,341 Speaker 2: minute video. Entire video was generated by AI. I sat 598 00:26:53,381 --> 00:26:54,341 Speaker 2: there and watched it for five minutes. 599 00:26:54,381 --> 00:26:56,262 Speaker 1: Did it have when you looked in the captions? Did 600 00:26:56,302 --> 00:26:59,341 Speaker 1: it have an AI hashtage? That happened to me? I 601 00:26:59,381 --> 00:27:01,542 Speaker 1: watched a funny video last night and it was like 602 00:27:01,621 --> 00:27:03,821 Speaker 1: this woman getting sort of eaten by her couch and 603 00:27:03,982 --> 00:27:06,581 Speaker 1: this thing, and I was like, this is amazing, and 604 00:27:06,621 --> 00:27:09,742 Speaker 1: I showed my kids and they're like, d No, I 605 00:27:09,782 --> 00:27:10,582 Speaker 1: don't think it is. 606 00:27:10,742 --> 00:27:12,221 Speaker 3: I think I Cash really did eat her. 607 00:27:12,341 --> 00:27:13,701 Speaker 4: Yeah. 608 00:27:13,782 --> 00:27:15,341 Speaker 2: One of the girls in our office is some pointing 609 00:27:15,341 --> 00:27:18,581 Speaker 2: around the spot.

Well she has to actually beautiful. 652 00:29:19,702 --> 00:29:23,542 Speaker 1: It's a lovely thing anyway. Something that I've just learned 653 00:29:23,582 --> 00:29:27,941 Speaker 1: about a children's entertainer called Miss Rachel. She has a 654 00:29:27,982 --> 00:29:30,902 Speaker 1: YouTube channel. If you've got little kids, I'm sure you'll 655 00:29:31,062 --> 00:29:33,102 Speaker 1: have heard of Miss Rachel. But I learned about Miss 656 00:29:33,222 --> 00:29:36,062 Speaker 1: Rachel because I was listening to Jesse and Amelia talk 657 00:29:36,102 --> 00:29:40,502 Speaker 1: about her on parenting out loud last week. She's got 658 00:29:40,582 --> 00:29:44,021 Speaker 1: like fifteen million subscribers on YouTube, where there's about one 659 00:29:44,102 --> 00:29:47,342 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty free videos. Fifteen million subscribers. 660 00:29:47,382 --> 00:29:50,062 Speaker 3: They believe that she's the biggest children's entertainer in the world. 661 00:29:50,102 --> 00:29:52,022 Speaker 1: Oh, and she just records they're very low fight. She 662 00:29:52,062 --> 00:29:54,782 Speaker 1: records these videos in front of green screen in her laundroom. 663 00:29:54,822 --> 00:29:58,741 Speaker 1: I think she started Jesse because her son had speech delay, 664 00:29:59,142 --> 00:30:01,822 Speaker 1: and so she was making these videos. They're lovely because 665 00:30:01,862 --> 00:30:03,302 Speaker 1: one of the things, and one of the reasons that 666 00:30:03,342 --> 00:30:05,701 Speaker 1: you're not meant to have little kids watching screens too 667 00:30:05,782 --> 00:30:08,662 Speaker 1: much is the fast cuts. The way TV's made now. 668 00:30:08,661 --> 00:30:12,062 Speaker 1: It's very fast, a lot of movement, and it's hugely 669 00:30:12,102 --> 00:30:14,062 Speaker 1: stimulating and it can be hard for them to process. 670 00:30:14,062 --> 00:30:15,782 Speaker 4: This is very slow, So it's. 671 00:30:15,661 --> 00:30:16,782 Speaker 1: For babies and photography. 672 00:30:16,862 --> 00:30:19,142 Speaker 3: She sounds things out, which is really good for speech. 673 00:30:19,222 --> 00:30:20,582 Speaker 3: And have you ever heard of miss Rachel. 674 00:30:20,622 --> 00:30:22,502 Speaker 4: I've heard this name everywhere. 675 00:30:22,542 --> 00:30:23,262 Speaker 3: Do you know her face? 676 00:30:23,702 --> 00:30:25,221 Speaker 1: No, have a little listen. 677 00:30:25,342 --> 00:30:29,182 Speaker 3: Hi, Frabs, I'm so excited to learn about zoo animals 678 00:30:29,502 --> 00:30:31,662 Speaker 3: and chuckle animals with you today. 679 00:30:32,022 --> 00:30:35,622 Speaker 1: It's going to be so much fun. Can you do 680 00:30:35,742 --> 00:30:41,142 Speaker 1: this rhyme with me a tweet aor and oh whoa, whoa, 681 00:30:41,382 --> 00:30:45,022 Speaker 1: who's in the zoo planing big girl. What's interesting about 682 00:30:45,062 --> 00:30:46,701 Speaker 1: this story and why you were talking about it, is 683 00:30:46,742 --> 00:30:49,342 Speaker 1: that lately she's become the target of a lot of 684 00:30:49,942 --> 00:30:56,022 Speaker 1: pretty outrageous criticism for her advocacy of the children in Gaza, 685 00:30:56,062 --> 00:30:59,142 Speaker 1: and she's also spoken about her concern for the children 686 00:30:59,142 --> 00:31:02,142 Speaker 1: in Israel. But some people have said that she's been 687 00:31:02,182 --> 00:31:06,022 Speaker 1: being paid by Hamas and some pretty wild accusations. 688 00:31:06,302 --> 00:31:09,261 Speaker 3: So she's had to turn off all comments on Instagram 689 00:31:09,342 --> 00:31:11,582 Speaker 3: and YouTube because of the hate that she was getting, 690 00:31:11,622 --> 00:31:14,142 Speaker 3: and she came out and just basically said, no child 691 00:31:14,222 --> 00:31:18,182 Speaker 3: should have their crucial brain development interrupted by trauma. That's 692 00:31:18,262 --> 00:31:21,782 Speaker 3: what I believe. We had this really interesting discussion about 693 00:31:22,342 --> 00:31:27,142 Speaker 3: what it is about children's entertainers because of the intimacy 694 00:31:27,782 --> 00:31:30,862 Speaker 3: having them in your home, you know, often late at night, 695 00:31:30,902 --> 00:31:33,262 Speaker 3: the middle of the night, like people feel this kind 696 00:31:33,302 --> 00:31:37,662 Speaker 3: of ownership over her, like a a real parasocial relationship. 697 00:31:37,702 --> 00:31:39,942 Speaker 1: But is it also Jesse. I haven't watched too many 698 00:31:40,022 --> 00:31:42,302 Speaker 1: for videos, but it was it that people were objecting 699 00:31:42,462 --> 00:31:46,221 Speaker 1: to her talking about the plight of children in Gaza 700 00:31:46,862 --> 00:31:47,982 Speaker 1: to children. 701 00:31:47,822 --> 00:31:50,262 Speaker 3: No, that's what's interesting is over on Instagram where she's 702 00:31:50,262 --> 00:31:52,622 Speaker 3: got all these followers, that's where she will post and 703 00:31:52,661 --> 00:31:55,302 Speaker 3: she'll say, I, you know, want to look after these children. 704 00:31:55,102 --> 00:31:57,102 Speaker 1: Off and she's raising money because that's where the parents are. 705 00:31:56,982 --> 00:31:58,942 Speaker 3: Because that's where the parents are. Whereas on YouTube, which 706 00:31:58,982 --> 00:32:01,942 Speaker 3: is a totally different platform, she's going brushy teeth, can 707 00:32:01,982 --> 00:32:03,862 Speaker 3: you say, mama? Like? They're the kind of things that 708 00:32:03,902 --> 00:32:06,302 Speaker 3: she's doing. But it highlights to me, I think it's 709 00:32:06,302 --> 00:32:10,422 Speaker 3: such an interesting story. Is it highlights the different especially 710 00:32:10,502 --> 00:32:13,102 Speaker 3: in this crisis, about what someone says and what people 711 00:32:13,142 --> 00:32:16,382 Speaker 3: here are like. So she can say I really care 712 00:32:16,502 --> 00:32:20,302 Speaker 3: about the well being of children, and it might be 713 00:32:20,382 --> 00:32:22,982 Speaker 3: perceived by some in the community as being anti Semitic 714 00:32:22,982 --> 00:32:25,382 Speaker 3: because of where they are and what, you know, who 715 00:32:25,462 --> 00:32:28,022 Speaker 3: they see. Miss Rachel is standing alongside and it's just 716 00:32:28,102 --> 00:32:30,982 Speaker 3: this big, mucky mess. The New York Times has done 717 00:32:31,022 --> 00:32:34,022 Speaker 3: a brilliant profile on it, this whole story, which will 718 00:32:34,022 --> 00:32:35,822 Speaker 3: link to it in our show notes, because it's really 719 00:32:35,822 --> 00:32:38,422 Speaker 3: interesting and if you're a parent of a kid under 720 00:32:38,462 --> 00:32:40,701 Speaker 3: about five, you have heard Miss Rachel's voice. 721 00:32:40,902 --> 00:32:42,302 Speaker 4: Jesse, what do you have today? 722 00:32:42,502 --> 00:32:46,421 Speaker 3: I have a documentary which I'm really on the documentary train. Please, 723 00:32:46,422 --> 00:32:49,302 Speaker 3: there's not a single pooh in this documentary. There's a 724 00:32:49,342 --> 00:32:51,782 Speaker 3: series on Netflix called American man Hunt. They did one 725 00:32:51,822 --> 00:32:55,142 Speaker 3: on the Boston bomber and this new one which remember 726 00:32:55,182 --> 00:32:59,742 Speaker 3: I recommended Titan recently, and a bunch about louders slid 727 00:32:59,742 --> 00:33:02,102 Speaker 3: into my DMS and said, you have to watch American 728 00:33:02,142 --> 00:33:04,421 Speaker 3: man Hunt. Osama bin Lighten. You have to watch that 729 00:33:04,582 --> 00:33:06,542 Speaker 3: is just come out. You'll really enjoy it. 730 00:33:08,702 --> 00:33:11,262 Speaker 5: Where war, we will find those who did it and 731 00:33:11,302 --> 00:33:12,542 Speaker 5: we'll bring them to justice. 732 00:33:12,982 --> 00:33:16,022 Speaker 2: Call for Black chief of counter terrorism said, if you'll 733 00:33:16,062 --> 00:33:18,462 Speaker 2: let me do it, I'll have flies walking on their 734 00:33:18,502 --> 00:33:20,462 Speaker 2: eyeballs in six weeks. 735 00:33:21,422 --> 00:33:24,661 Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. I was working with the 736 00:33:24,742 --> 00:33:27,022 Speaker 1: representative from the FAA trying to. 737 00:33:27,022 --> 00:33:32,382 Speaker 4: Track some of the conspirators. We knew this was Masamo 738 00:33:32,422 --> 00:33:33,102 Speaker 4: bin Laden. 739 00:33:33,422 --> 00:33:36,701 Speaker 1: We were going to war full out against inn Lodon. 740 00:33:37,982 --> 00:33:40,302 Speaker 3: And the reason why is because so I was born 741 00:33:40,302 --> 00:33:43,102 Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety when September eleven happened, I would have 742 00:33:43,142 --> 00:33:47,662 Speaker 3: been eleven, and my whole adolescence the image of bin 743 00:33:47,742 --> 00:33:50,462 Speaker 3: Laden was like the villain, like he was such a bit. 744 00:33:50,502 --> 00:33:54,461 Speaker 3: He loomed so large in my kind of childhood adolescence 745 00:33:55,022 --> 00:33:58,222 Speaker 3: and what this documentary does is it tracks nine to 746 00:33:58,262 --> 00:34:02,661 Speaker 3: eleven and then the subsequent manhunt by the US Army 747 00:34:02,782 --> 00:34:05,422 Speaker 3: to try and find him. And I remembered parts of it, 748 00:34:05,862 --> 00:34:08,622 Speaker 3: but the details I completely missed. And because they're able 749 00:34:08,661 --> 00:34:12,302 Speaker 3: to get members of the CIA, this is Barack Obama's 750 00:34:12,462 --> 00:34:16,102 Speaker 3: speech writer, They're able to get the Navy seal who 751 00:34:16,222 --> 00:34:19,661 Speaker 3: actually found Bin Laden, like, they're able to interview all 752 00:34:19,701 --> 00:34:21,942 Speaker 3: of these people in a way that it puts it 753 00:34:21,942 --> 00:34:24,022 Speaker 3: in the context of history. There is a lot of 754 00:34:24,062 --> 00:34:26,102 Speaker 3: criticism from a lot of the people in the inside 755 00:34:26,181 --> 00:34:29,221 Speaker 3: ranks about Guantanamo and some of the lengths they went 756 00:34:29,261 --> 00:34:32,782 Speaker 3: to to quite literally torture people to try and get intel. 757 00:34:33,261 --> 00:34:36,102 Speaker 3: There are a lot of parallels with what's going on 758 00:34:36,462 --> 00:34:40,181 Speaker 3: at the moment, with the US claiming to have inverted 759 00:34:40,221 --> 00:34:43,502 Speaker 3: Commas achieved something that they have not achieved, and how 760 00:34:43,502 --> 00:34:47,822 Speaker 3: politics works in these kind of geopolitical moments. It is fascinating. 761 00:34:47,942 --> 00:34:50,182 Speaker 3: It is called American Manhunt O. Some have Bin Laden 762 00:34:50,221 --> 00:34:51,822 Speaker 3: and it is on Netflix. 763 00:34:51,542 --> 00:34:52,661 Speaker 1: And what are you recommending? 764 00:34:52,862 --> 00:34:55,502 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm putting my body out there for the greater 765 00:34:55,582 --> 00:34:58,341 Speaker 2: good because I have really. 766 00:34:58,062 --> 00:34:58,982 Speaker 4: Bad back me. 767 00:34:59,661 --> 00:35:00,902 Speaker 3: Oh, I've had that before. 768 00:35:01,382 --> 00:35:02,941 Speaker 2: I think it's one of those things where you stop 769 00:35:02,982 --> 00:35:05,261 Speaker 2: the pill and then your whole body just goes. I'm 770 00:35:05,261 --> 00:35:05,942 Speaker 2: a new person. 771 00:35:06,382 --> 00:35:08,221 Speaker 1: Have you got front me as well?

Late tonight is. 812 00:36:43,542 --> 00:36:46,142 Speaker 2: A creepy one, you know I feel about creature fact 813 00:36:46,181 --> 00:36:48,301 Speaker 2: about you and it's just interesting, right, you know how 814 00:36:48,342 --> 00:36:50,862 Speaker 2: on this show six months ago, I've got a skin cancer. 815 00:36:50,582 --> 00:36:53,502 Speaker 3: Removed on my hairline, and I've had to go back 816 00:36:53,542 --> 00:36:56,301 Speaker 3: and get it checked out. The other day, Claire looks 817 00:36:56,302 --> 00:36:58,142 Speaker 3: at me and goes, look at this, and she's had 818 00:36:58,261 --> 00:37:01,341 Speaker 3: a skin camper on to the centimeter exactly the same 819 00:37:01,382 --> 00:37:03,701 Speaker 3: spot on her hairline. And what's interesting is that it's 820 00:37:03,701 --> 00:37:07,382 Speaker 3: obviously nature and nurture, like the intersection of the two things, 821 00:37:07,701 --> 00:37:11,261 Speaker 3: but it's clearly like the gene are predisposed. 822 00:37:11,302 --> 00:37:15,102 Speaker 1: That's uncanny because because you would think, I mean. 823 00:37:14,982 --> 00:37:15,701 Speaker 3: It's environmental. 824 00:37:15,701 --> 00:37:17,622 Speaker 1: If you were to get would they say that your 825 00:37:17,701 --> 00:37:20,221 Speaker 1: chance of skin cancer is very much determined by your 826 00:37:20,502 --> 00:37:24,022 Speaker 1: son exposure when you're younger, So I guess you would 827 00:37:24,022 --> 00:37:25,701 Speaker 1: have been exposed to the same things, but you don't 828 00:37:25,741 --> 00:37:28,062 Speaker 1: have the same hair.
