Anyway, 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:39.400 today we're can be talking about this article on the 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.320 Guardian that involved the City Winning Herald. It involved a 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.959 story that I think is quack science over the City 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.760 Morning Herald did apologize and I absolutely love Citney Morning Herald. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.360 They're like my favorite publication.

I love that Legacy brand. Anyway, 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.280 when we're talking about, uh, this story that they. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.959 Throw the corpse Legacy brand, I love them. 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:13.600 You've got to be for some things in life. 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.800 You'll stand up some things and I'm just gonna be 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.960 talking about like quack science, my thoughts on vitamins and 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.560 strong thoughts. FLEX doesn't believe they're substantiated necessarily, but we 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:26.080 can come back up. 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:27.720 What you don't believe they're substantiated? 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.560 No, you don't believe there. Huh you said I haven't 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:31.319 done enough research. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.839 Yeah that I mean I don't think they're substantiated. Maybe 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.559 I really believe in them and I haven't done enough 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:37.920 research to disprove them. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.680 I see. Okay, I like that there can be more talonsibility. 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.920 Anyway, let's get to it, Flex. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.360 And I've been thinking about what it's going to take 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.840 to actually like save the world. Right, they say, plant 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.280 trees and reduce your plastic use, and I'm thinking, okay, 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.200 number one, who's planting the trees? 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:56.560 Because I haven't done it? Have you done it? 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.520 No? Not one tree in my lifetime. And this has 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.800 been an an ongoing message, So that's us out. I 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.840 did find one woman. She was revealed to me via 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.160 the Internet, and she's a tree planter, so thank goodness 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.560 for her labor shout out. She made this video about 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.320 one full day of tree planting and how much money 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.880 she made. And to say that I was flabbergastant is 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.200 an understatement. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.520 All right, flabbergacid good or bad. 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.720 Listen to this and you'll find out for yourself. 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.359 I am a tree planter in Alberta, and this is 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.120 a little bit about my job today. I am planting 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:29.760 in pine trees. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:30.760 This is what they look like. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.760 You frequently plant other species, but this is. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:34.720 What I'm planting today. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.120 Every time I put one of these in the ground, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.360 I make thirteen cents. In order to plant a lot 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.240 of trees in a day, I carry around these bags. 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.760 Which are filled to the brim with. 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.960 Trees, so thirteen cents per tree. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.320 And you know, if you have to visualize this, it's 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.080 not a huge you know, six meter you know, fig 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.440 or whatever. It's like a tiny thirty thirty centimeter chunk 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.720 that she's got to dig out the soil and the mulch, 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.840 pull in the tree, and like, you know, pat the 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.919 soil around it. So it's significant thirteen cents for one. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.720 Now I was thinking, well, how many trees is she 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.800 averaging a day? You know, maybe she's doing like twenty 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.600 forty thousand trees and Siss is making bank right on average, 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:20.440 she's planting three thousand, one hundred trees a day, So 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.360 on average, she's making four hundred and three dollars a day, and. 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:25.400 People like that's a lot. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.799 But I'm thinking siss is on the front lines on 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.600 her own saving the planet. I think she needs a 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.320 little bit more than four hundred and three dollars a day. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.800 Like this is an essential worker. The rest of us 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.600 aren't planting trees, and you know, according to deforestation, we 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.600 cut all them down to be like parking lots or something. 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.000 I just think, you know, you have or we have 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.960 these really important jobs in society that aren't highly respected 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.640 but highly integral to the safety of this planet. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.160 And that's all thirteen cents a tree. Yeah, that's not 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:58.800 good enough for. 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.240 Me, Like a dollar, a dollar, twenty a dollar through 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:03.920 five dollars something. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.360 I think I've got a way to like mitigate how 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.640 bad that is. People that do those jobs't be taxed. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.000 Tax oo along with nurses. 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.080 Yep, this is a good idea. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.159 Nurses and tree planters, just exclusively those two for now. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:19.680 Things take time. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.080 I also think trades are the backbone of our society. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.880 Though we can't have a lot of things without trades. Though, Yeah, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.400 but I like I'm trading supremacy, the roads, the infrastructure 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.400 of the hospitals, the universities, or built by trades. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.799 That's a lot of responsibility. 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.760 That's true. Shout out to trading men and women all 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.400 out there. I'm got a friend from school that just 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.279 finished her sparky degree hot absolutely slack. 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.560 WX And for me, what would you do if you 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:47.440 found out that you could possibly be related to your partner? 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.040 Okay? 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.520 Why are you taking something to think about it? What's 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:51.960 going on? 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.680 Like? I'm like, can we have a non sexual relationship? 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.800 I want to keep the connection, Okay, but I don't 0:04:58.800 --> 0:04:59.960 want to have sex with someone I'm relate. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.039 But do you want to date someone you're related to? Correct? 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.120 Yeah, you know, a relationship, a. 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.080 Close romantic relationship, non sexual is what you'd be comfortable 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.640 doing with someone that you're related to. I mean, if 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.680 you love them. I haven't been put in the situation. Yeah, 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.560 it's a fresh one. Not many can say that they 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.840 can relate them. There are these TikTokers and only fans 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.880 creators called Karlie and Mercedes, and they've been together for 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.359 like two or so years now. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.039 They're established, you know, pretty like it's a legit couple. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.080 It's two years, right, And so they started going viral 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.800 a couple of months ago for making couple content and 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.839 people are like, oh, you two are together. 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:44.159 We thought you were sisters and. 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.599 Noveryone's like no, no, no, like we are a couple, 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.159 like lesbians exist.

In at no 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.160 point where they're like, well, no, like we can't be 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.000 sisters because our parents didn't have any other children. They 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.640 were like, no, we must be related because TikTok told us. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:59.840 If you could see their faces, they. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.000 Look so nervous. 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:05.080 Either they're really incredible actresses or they really truly believed 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.040 and even if they did, what was your plan? The 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.640 top comments say I'm so happy for you. It must 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.120 be a massive weight off your shoulders. Please check again 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.480 in a few days, just to be sure. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.280 And I have never saying these people before, but I 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.480 just looked at their videos. They are identical in a 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.040 way that is sibling looking. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:26.440 Yeah. 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.280 Are they're not like look related in a superficial way? 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:30.640 It's literally their expressions? 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.000 Yeah, then. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:34.520 Are you sure that they're not? 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:36.480 I don't know. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.800 I don't know, and you know what, who knows? It 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.480 doesn't actually matter. I thought that was a nice little 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.640 treat for us. I don't know what they're going to 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.240 do with this information now. I feel like, how does 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.080 your relationship come back from that? Because even if they 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.560 don't think that they are related, and they can prove it, 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.199 the rumor is there they type in their names at 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:59.920 any circumstance. Lesbian couple might be sisters. Lesbian couple who 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.120 might be sisters still date. 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.520 I mean, if their goal in life is to make 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.840 a lot of money on only fans, this feels like 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.000 a good kink to cash in on a fowl. As 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.400 that is, we've got freaks in ow midst. 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.000 In our midst, there's just five of us in he 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:20.679 who you're talking about, certainly not myself flex and a 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.959 couple of days ago, I read this headline Tiffany to 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.920 sell NFT pendants. What comes to mind when I say 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.320 that NFT pendant. 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:36.320 Non fungible token pendant. I assume it's pegged to an 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:37.400 actual product. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.800 Yeah, I was confused too, but I didn't read the article. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:40.240 I let it go. 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:41.800 I was like, this isn't for me. I don't really 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.960 shot from Tiffany. I don't really have too many NFT's 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.679 not interested. Until days later I saw they sold out 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:49.640 of all of them. I was like, okay, now I 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.040 got to read this. Now I got to read this. 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.240 So basically, what Tiffany and co. The Jeweler Prestige Jeweler, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.880 did is they created a limited edition collection of Crypto 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.320 Punk pendants. So crypto Punk are a range of NFTs 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:09.680 pixelated creature looking things. They took that character and put 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:14.319 that into a diamond encrusted necklace pendant. It looks really cheap, unfortunately, 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.560 like it's in my head, I think that you would 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.200 think it'd be blingy and hot and sexy. It just 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.080 looks like play jewelry in the worst way possible. But 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:27.240 it did sell out, So there's that congratulations to anybody 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.480 who bought one. Only people who own the crypto punk 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.959 NFT were eligible to buy this necklace. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.199 Oh, I see that it is genius. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:33.920 It's genius. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.199 It's a nice conversation starter, also very limiting, and it's 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:38.880 great marketing. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.080 So there we go. 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.360 As you were speaking, I was just thinking about how 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.480 some industries aren't willing to innovate just in case it 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.760 like cannibalizes what they've done previously, or it. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.160 Just helps and it's embarrassing and they can't pick up 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:52.360 where they left off. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.880 Yeah, which side note, I don't believe in flopping. But however, 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.160 I think Tiffany are doing something really incredible here, like 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:05.520 cashing into a trend that is the absolute like epitome 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:11.040 of Internet, like forward thinking and like cryptocurrency. Obviously they 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.360 have done research to figure out the crypto's valuable in 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.199 a way that a lot of people don't realize. I 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.319 think they'm doing these even though they like don't look 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:18.840 very good. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.400 It's a super interesting, even though they're ugly. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.319 It's a good way to like create chatter and make 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.120 Tiffany here forward thinking. Yeah, I did, I've seen them before. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.040 What did you think about it? I think it's clever 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.439 in the way that it's really creating a community. It's 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.760 another layer on what is already an incredible community. Like 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.360 these punks, they've just grown and grown and grow. It's 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.040 like creating a community out of something that has kind 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.800 of value that could be tangible, could be tangible, and 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.880 I think it therefore like creates a bigger community and 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.440 you really want to be part of the club. So 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.760 I think Tiffany's interesting. They're making their brand more relevant. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.199 Yeah, do you want to be part of the club? 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.480 I don't know enough about it, but I can see 0:11:58.480 --> 0:11:58.960 the appeal. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:11:59.439 Yeah. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.000 I think it's which is good, like the most prestigious 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:06.559 jeweler or one of the most prestigious industries collaborating with 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.280 another prestige prestigious industry to create this extra prestigious offering 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.080 for very few people. I think it's cool in concept, 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.880 but I think it doesn't do anything for the average 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.200 person who's like, Okay, cool, this really exclusive thing that 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:18.840 I can't be a part of. Did another exclusive thing 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.360 I can't be a part of. And I don't know 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.040 what it means, but it's interesting to talk about. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:23.679 Hmm. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.559 I think if you're an optimistic States bringing more awareness 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.640 into crypto. Not necessarily that you have to then get involved, 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:36.040 but it's an interesting area of innovation in money and whatnot. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:37.440 Don't you reckon? 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:38.800 I feel like you trying to picture to me and 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:44.080 I told you about it like this is flex and frooms. 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.800 On ked Lexie. I absolutely love Australian media tea, specifically 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.800 when it occurs to what would you call it, like 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:56.520 traditional established brands. What you know when like brands come 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.160 under like media brands come under fire. Oh yes's and 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:01.480 away with for fifty years. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:03.839 Oh yeah, okay. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.000 Citizen journalism is now taking to the hands of the people. Yeah, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.920 And I find that's a really interesting like space to 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.200 be and when you're a traditional writer. This happened with 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.400 Cydney Morning Herald, which full disclosure, I've written for before. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.520 I'm a big fan of I'm a subscriber. The call 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.160 is coming from inside the house and they came under 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.120 the under fire via the Guardian last week. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:29.160 Oh into brand calling out yes, there's no solidarity in 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:29.760 the community. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.840 Absolutely not wow dog eat dog ye Guardian Sidney Mooney 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:39.280 Herald it. But the other day they posted in their 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.880 Good Weekend say Cydney Morney Herald right posted in their 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.439 Good Weekend. I think it was magazine about The title 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.800 was Shape of Water, and it wasn't about the movie. 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.640 It was about a story about structured water. Have you 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:53.600 heard about structured now? 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.720 I haven't. So it sounds like ice or a damn 0:13:58.480 --> 0:13:59.080 am I close? 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.840 Okay, So apparently the Shape of Water is a bottle 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.880 by file On Water, which is a company, and they 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.680 sell empty glass bottles with a magnetic vortext device in 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.560 the lid which claims to turn ordinary tap water into 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.280 life of firm instructured water. You lost me. The price 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.920 tag is three hundred and forty dollars per two bottles. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.680 Wait wait, wait the bottle are usable? 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.880 I'm not sure. But a bottle of water for three 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.640 hundred and forty dollars. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.480 What if it's ever lasting, ever replenishing. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.400 Nah, it just sounds crazy. Anything that's trying to market 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.720 water as anything but what water is is quack science. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.560 And apparently the author isn't actually an SMH regular writer. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.080 They work for the company, which is all conflict of 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.000 interest when it's not an avat oil. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.600 Bon con and sponsored contente afterwards. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.960 This knew when Herald wrote there was a story in 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.480 Sunday Life on the Weekend about structured water, which didn't 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.400 meet editorial standards, specifically due to a significant conflict of 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.120 interest for the writer. Matter is being investigated. 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:02.080 Yike. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.600 So this writer probably allegedly pitched to Sydney Morning, how 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.520 I get this great idea if this water bottle? It's 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:11.440 so fascinating, And then you know, pitch went through. They've 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.360 published the story, done some research and said, hey, what 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:15.560 you work for that brand? 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.440 Pro'll be like, oh, maybe didn't mention it didn't come up. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.440 Sorry, reminiscent of something that happened with the Sydney Morning 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.040 Herald twenty years ago about a similar story about war. 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.920 You won't let any of these die. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.880 I am my own citizen journal. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:29.280 Literally. What was the other story? 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.400 The same kind of thing, different quack science about water. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.480 So where's the Guardian come in? The Guardian called it out, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.680 Oh in Sydney One Herald and said, now they've done 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.920 this apology, the tit for tat vibes. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.120 Okay, tell me everything. What did the guardians say? 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.720 I'll get it up. Hold on, don't know. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.600 Frustrated, baby, you can't this is juicy juicy tea, Like yeah, 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.520 So the Guardian called them out. But you know anyway, Nah. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.040 I just want to like this happens a lot between 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:56.120 media sites because it's important for journalists to take accountability 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.840 and for other like different corporations to call each other out. Yeah, 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.000 this was published on The Guardian and it's by another 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.680 opinion writer. It's by a woman called Amanda Mead and 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.680 she writes City Morning Herald slips up on shape of 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.400 water nonsense. They wrote a story about the health benefits 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.080 of structured water and it was a conflict of interest 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.960 and it was very reminiscent of a story that a 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.640 guy called Paul Shehan wrote in the City Morning Herald 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.200 twenty years ago, which title was Wonderwater, and it asked 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.160 whether or not a two dollars eighty bottle of wonderwater, 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.480 which had not been subject to proper clinical trials, could 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:33.040 combat arthritis, fatigue, osteoporosis and help you live longer. But 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.200 this one is about Fion Water, which sells an empty 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.320 glass bottle that's worth three hundred and forty dollars that 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.320 somehow makes water better. 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.600 Okay, so we don't know what this Guardian article is 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.920 said because it's confusing us. But I've gone into the 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:50.200 Fion water website, which looks like it was built on 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.200 a two thousand and five Yeah, two thousand and five 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.360 fy website builder. The images were just quickly, you know, 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:03.400 chucked together. I'm looking at the Apollo gold bottle top 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.560 and two glass bottles. Okay, So it's not the actual 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.320 bottle that is that has the special abilities. It's this 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.399 little attachment that you put at the top of the bottle. 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:17.080 And so what it does is it turns ordinary tapwater 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:22.400 into life affirming structured water the way nature intended, and 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.720 the magnetic vortex can be used to restructure other liquids, 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.960 including wine, spirits, juice, and milk. So it gives water 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:35.760 a permanent negative charge like that found in pristine flowing 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:40.640 rivers and streams. It eliminates pathogenic microbes like E. Coli 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.560 and neutralizes toxic compounds. It minimizes the growth of molds 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.720 and fungi. But where is the mold in our water? 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.119 It reduces the smell and taste of chlorine from urban 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.240 water supplies, fair because like chlorine water is a thing 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.000 is that I never Yeah, for sure, you don't drink 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:00.880 tap water, do drink to tap water? 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.160 You don't smell that. Nah, I'm a big Mount Franklin girly. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.119 But you know that's neither here in nor that it 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.160 increases the intensity of wine flavor. Oh, it prevents wine 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.160 from oxidizing. This isn't that bad? Yeah, not me selling 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.800 it to us. Look, I love gimmicks, and I'll leave 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:17.120 it there. 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.040 I don't like gimmicks that involve things that you can 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.600 get freely, Like what water? 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:23.760 Okay? 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:30.000 And what else can you get freeley? That's beneficial? Okay? Okay, 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.480 I get another one, And I can say this. Any 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.240 kind of vitamin okay, I don't believe it. Some types 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:36.920 of skin care. 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.320 I think vitamins. It's all about that which bit. 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.680 Vitamins that I think Sometimes there's a misconception that vitamins 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.280 can give you stuff that you can't get from food, 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.000 Like pretty much most minerals you can get you can 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.240 get from food, and like, for example, if you're a vegetarian, 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.479 you might take iron tablets, but there's ways you can 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.440 get that in your diet in other ways. 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.919 Isn't it the quantity or like the potency? 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.280 So let's say you would need to eat I don't 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.879 take vitamins, but you know, let's say you would need 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.760 to eat twelve bales of kale for this kind of 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.159 vitamin with this kind of nutritional benefit. Let's say you 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.280 would need to eat twelve bales of kale for this. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:14.760 Kind of nutritional OK. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.960 I don't know, babe, a bunch a bunch of kale 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.119 for this nutritional benefit. But if you had one vitamin, 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.960 it's the equivalent. Isn't that how it works. They're not 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:24.640 saying that you can't get this in your body. They're 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:26.240 saying you'd need to have so much more of this 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.359 in your diet. And you, sir, don't want to eat vegetables. 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.440 Maybe. However, I will say. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.320
