10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Nation and Caman pointed this out. I saw it on

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: TikTok over the weekend as well. But bird theory. Have

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: you heard about bird theory?

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? This is another test. It sure is a test,

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: another test. I don't like a test.

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't like a situation where I'm in a relationship

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: or a friendship and someone is doing something intentionally to

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: test my reaction.

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't like that.

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: And then they already know what I'm supposed to do

20
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: in their heads ahead, or whomever's asking me to do

21
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: this the bird theory. The bird test is a social

22
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: media trend in relationship concept where a person points out

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: something mundane like a bird, to gay their partner's reaction

24
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: as a measure of attentiveness and connection.

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Did you try it?

26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: I'm way too scared because I already know what the

27
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: answer is going to be, and I will probably end

28
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: up fight.

29
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: Like, he's not going to care that I said there's

30
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: a bird, like take a look.

31
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: He my husband supports me and all that I do,

32
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: but my husband's too logical and he's not going to

33
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: care about.

34
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: A bird in that moment.

35
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: So he would say, you would say, hey, look there,

36
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: that's a that's a pretty bird out there, and he'd go, okay.

37
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, he would just be like, I don't know, like

38
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: what bird or like he'd be.

39
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: Like, okay, what would Mike do if he pointed out

40
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: a bird? Yeah? I mean he would do the same thing.

41
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: We got two mics.

42
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: Now, we got military, we got the mechanic.

43
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Okay military you apologies?

44
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, just know which one I'm talking about. I didn't say,

45
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: like the mechanic, so it's not your fault. What would

46
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: what would what would like the mechanic do?

47
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I think?

48
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: I mean I do this like if we're like driving

49
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: and they say like a deer, like, oh, look at

50
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: the deer, and he'll like look and we're like, oh

51
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: my god, deer, Like.

52
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

53
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's that, but I think like

54
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: we just like animals, So I feel like he would

55
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: want to look at the bird.

56
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Okay, what if it were something else, What if it

57
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: were like look at uh, look at the pothole, I

58
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: mean something it.

59
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: Was like less of an interest. Yeah if yeah, I

60
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: guess if.

61
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: You like animals, I'm the same way, like if you

62
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: were to say to me, like, look at that bird, like,

63
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that you're showing me something that I that

64
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: I think is like I wouldn't normally see. Like if

65
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: you say to me, look at that bird, I'm assuming

66
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: it's not just one of the thirty pigeons at that.

67
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm assuming you look, you're pointing out a

68
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: bald eagle or something like, you know what I mean.

69
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, like I'll show him like I'm like,

70
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: oh mean, I look at this picture of Kim Kardashian

71
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: on Instagram, and I know he doesn't care about the Kardashians.

72
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: They'll still look okay, all right? And then and then

73
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: military mic, we had lots of mics. Well what would

74
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: you do you point out? Because I'll tell you what

75
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: this all means. But what would so he if you

76
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: just pointed out something just ridiculous, just normal, just whatever,

77
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: look at that uh tree? What would what would he

78
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: do when you look at it?

79
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: To me the lines of hobby, he'd probably be like

80
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 3: huh okay cool and like go back to like I

81
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 3: don't know and whatever he's doing, like he yeah, I

82
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: don't know that.

83
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: He would be like, wow, that is cool. I like this.

84
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't like anything.

85
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: I'm that you already are looking for an outcome from me,

86
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: and then you've already established what the outcome means.

87
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't like it, especially if you got it on TikTok.

88
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: But the bid is one partner makes a bid for

89
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: connection by pointing out something insignificant, like look at that

90
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: bird the turn the other partner responds turning forward. A

91
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: partner who turns to look responds with interest or acknowledges

92
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: that the bid is seen as responsive and connected, or

93
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: acknowledges that you would then be a connected person if

94
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: you don't pay attention and don't care. A partner who ignores, dismisses,

95
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: or gets annoyed by the comment is not seen as engaged.

96
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: That seems obvious to me. Okay, I'm either into what

97
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: you're pointing out or I'm not. But I think that

98
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: the amount of how much I'm into it would matter

99
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: on the amount of interest in what you're pointing out.

100
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: Like if you're pointing out that you're choking and I

101
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: turn away, then that's the problem. But if you're pointing

102
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: out that you're choking and then I try and save you,

103
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: call it, you know, for help and do the Heimli maneuver,

104
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: then I obviously care. But I mean that's different. Then Hey, look,

105
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: it's something very normal that you see every day. I

106
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: don't know that I would necessarily. I think it comes

107
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: down to not everything that my partner says is the

108
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: most brilliant thing I've ever heard, And that doesn't make

109
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: me a bad person. That just means like we're living together,

110
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: we're together every day. We spend all these hours and

111
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: minutes together. So if you point out something mundane, I

112
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: might not necessarily get up from my laptop to run

113
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: to the window every single time. But I don't think

114
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: that makes me inattentive.

115
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: Does it. That's what they're saying. But I don't know.

116
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: I feel like you and my husband, Hobby are very

117
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: logical people that you would take it a little too

118
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: far over this dumb trend, like I'm just asking you

119
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: to pay attention for five seconds and look at this bird.

120
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: So the bird test is a simplified way to illustrate

121
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: concepts from the Gotman Institute. Doctor John Gottman's research found

122
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: that happy couples turn toward each other's bits for connection

123
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: eighty six percent of the time. In contrast, couples who

124
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: are headed for divorce only turned towards these bits about

125
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: thirty three eight percent of the time. A positive reaction

126
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: suggests a healthy and supportive relationship where partners feel seen

127
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: and heard. A negative reaction can indicate a lack of attention,

128
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: emotional distance, or that the relationship might be in trouble considerations.

129
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: The test can be applied to anything, not just birds.

130
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: It works in various relationship not just romantic ones. While

131
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: the theory has a basis in relationship science, it's a

132
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: simplified tool factor. It's like partner being tired, distracted, or

133
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: genuinely uninterested in birds can lead to a negative reaction

134
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: that isn't a true reflection of the relationship's health. Some

135
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: argue that constantly using the tests for minor things could

136
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: become annoying over time. That's the other thing is I

137
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: feel like you're going to try this many many times

138
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: and then either you're gonna get a false positive where

139
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: finally someone picks up on it is like oh cool,

140
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: another bird, or or they're gonna get annoyed with you,

141
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: and that it's not really a test of whether they care.

142
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: They're just like, why are you using a stupid internet

143
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: test on me?

144
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't do trends or tests. I really don't. You

145
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: don't do tests. I'm very see. I am very a

146
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: testy person.

147
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: I know.

148
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: I wanted to say that five minutes ago, but I

149
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: got scared. I am very testy, but I don't like

150
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: doing them for the show. Like I don't doing them

151
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: for like the TikTok or like the like look at this,

152
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to get you.

153
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to get you. But you're not a

154
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: prank cop.

155
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: I'm not a prank people. No, I'm pranks, but I

156
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: don't test people to their limits. That's true that I

157
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: have a failing this. I just I think this is

158
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: gonna set you up for failure. It is because most

159
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: people are not all that impressed by looking at a bird,

160
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: so so like you needed like like, hey, look at

161
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: this amazing adult video I found, Like boom, I'm paying attention,

162
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: like look at the airplane.

163
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Look there's an airplane. What kind of airplanes?

164
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: And now I'm paying attention And I granted that's about me,

165
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: but it's like, look at how I look in this,

166
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: in this new very revealing outfit. I'm paying attention, Like

167
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: like come on, like come on, like, let's let's come

168
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: up with ways that Like if you walk in a

169
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: room and you're like, look at the new lingerie that

170
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: I purchased and I don't even turn to look that

171
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: I failed the test, like Jesson, if you walk in

172
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: a new lingerie and new skims and Mike the mechanic

173
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: has now Harry specified which Mike I'm talking about, because

174
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: if military Mike walked in, that's weird. But if Mike

175
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 2: the mechanic walked in and or whatever and he didn't

176
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: even acknowledge you, now that's bad. But if you're like,

177
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: look at the pigeon and it's just pigeoning and he

178
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: doesn't turn to look at you, I don't know that.

179
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: I think your relationship is doomed.

180
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so I think it's like situational too,

181
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: Like I know if he's in his phone, like he

182
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: is a very one track mind, like it's very we

183
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: do not multitest very well. So like if he's in

184
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 4: his phone, I know that I cannot tell him anythingcause

185
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: he's not paying attention like anything.

186
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: You'd be like, look at that house is on fire,

187
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: and he like won't even hear me. I don't know.

188
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just flailing at this test, and I'm just

189
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: publicly proclaiming that I'm flailing at this test, and everyone's

190
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: listening now going, this is why you're not in a relationship, dude,

191
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: because because if she points out the bird, look at

192
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: the damn bird, and I'm like, yeah, but I'd fall

193
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: for this. I would fall for the skitch in the

194
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: lives here because I wouldn't pay. I don't necessarily think

195
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: I would be impressed by a bird, like give me

196
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: something better, Like, hey, look at the lion walking down

197
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: the street, Like okay.

198
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Right now, we look at that zebra. Yeah wow, Like.

199
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: Like I'm about to tell you about monkeys that got

200
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: released and have herpes and hepatitis.

201
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: Look at the monkey that hepatatia.

202
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: Now I am now let me see where that is,

203
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: so I don't go anywhere near it, don't pet the monkey.

204
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: You know now?

205
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: That is that we should call this the herpes monkey test. Okay,

206
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: if you poured out a herpes monkey, I don't look, and.

207
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 1: I'm not impressed by that, and I'm not trying to

208
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: avoid it. If you're not interested in seeing a monkey

209
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: with herpes, we have

210
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: Relationship, right, we have a serious bra or if I

211
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,719
