Speaker 1: I like my phone.
Speaker 5: And our producer Mikayla has yet again come through the goods.
Speaker 5: She's found a TikTok about how to become a tech housewife. Naturally,
Speaker 5: my interest was piqued. There's been some jokes about tried
Speaker 5: wife lifestyle and the idea of.
Speaker 2: Not jokes in your an this aspiration.
Speaker 1: You know it would be nice to be taking care
Speaker 1: of Let's be real. Play the tape, Mikayla.
Speaker 4: Please.
Speaker 6: The s girl wanted a rich and attractive husband, so
Speaker 6: she went on linkedinn and found guys with impressive job
Speaker 6: titles at tech companies. Once she found a guy who
Speaker 6: was cute and rich enough for her, she went to
Speaker 6: his other social media pages.
Speaker 4: And found out what his dad did for a living.
Speaker 6: Once she found out that the dad top potter at
Speaker 6: a local art studio, she signed up for his ten
Speaker 6: week class. Throughout the ten week class, she's dropping breadcrumbs
Speaker 6: to other students and the teacher about what kind of
Speaker 6: guy she's looking for in a long term relationship.
Speaker 4: All she did was go to the Sun's.
Speaker 6: Social media page and list out all of his hobbies
Speaker 6: and say, I'd love to find somebody who does all
Speaker 6: of these things and has a great job in tech.
Speaker 4: The dad obviously overhears all.
Speaker 6: Of this and is like, oh my gosh, I have
Speaker 6: a single son who would be perfect for this girl.
Speaker 4: So the dad called her over after class one night
Speaker 4: and says, hey, I.
Speaker 6: Don't want this to be weird, but if you want
Speaker 6: to go on a blind date with my son, I'd
Speaker 6: be happy to ask him to.
Speaker 4: See if he would go out.
Speaker 6: She's elated, but she keeps her poker face on it,
Speaker 6: and it's like, oh, yeah, that'd be great. Why don't
Speaker 6: you set us up for some drinks. They go on
Speaker 6: a date and they are vibing. He thinks he found
Speaker 6: his dream girl, and she knows that she found what
Speaker 6: she wanted because she plucked him off the internet. From
Speaker 6: what I know, he is about to propose to her,
Speaker 6: which means she is weeks away from realizing her dream
Speaker 6: of sitting out by the pool all day while he
Speaker 6: goes clickity clock on a keyboard at work bringing home
Speaker 6: that money.
Speaker 5: Sorry, guys, I was just mid tooo. Look, this is
Speaker 5: a long conon type of behavior. I do believe. I
Speaker 5: don't like to switch gender norms and put it on
Speaker 5: its head. You don't, but it's giving stalker. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's giving set up. Do not put that popcorn in
Speaker 5: your mouth. Put it away. Okay, I'm this natural confectionery
Speaker 5: style popcorn. Just I've got to take one more bit
Speaker 5: really quick. Please carry on.
Speaker 3: But I will say maybe there is something to say
Speaker 3: about treating this kind of like process of finding a
Speaker 3: partner like super seriously and strategically, as opposed to just
Speaker 3: hoping that you run in the right circles and hoping
Speaker 3: that they find you interesting. Why not just pick the
Speaker 3: one you like and do something insane to get them. Look,
Speaker 3: I hate the idea, and I don't think a lot
Speaker 3: of us are cut out to date in this way.
Speaker 3: Didn't we talk about Mark Zuckerberg's agreement. I don't think
Speaker 3: it was in prena, but there was an agrievent him
Speaker 3: and his wife had where she.
Speaker 1: Has to spend twenty hours with him or something.
Speaker 3: It was one hundred hours a week together. That's more
Speaker 3: than a full time job. So I don't know if
Speaker 3: we're cut out for what's required for this, but I'm
Speaker 3: happy to know that people are getting theirs.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I have some terrifying and shocking news. My SERI
Speaker 1: is haunted.
Speaker 5: I was in a weekend away last weekend in a
Speaker 5: little known place called Windsor in New South walesh h,
Speaker 5: what are you doing? Just a weekend away in an old,
Speaker 5: old farmhouse? Okay, in the middle of nowhere, no reception.
Speaker 5: Why am I talking to my friend Eliza?
Speaker 1: And I say how old were you?
Speaker 5: When suddenly a disembodied voice comes over me and it says.
Speaker 1: I'm as sprightly as a spring chicken. We all stop,
Speaker 1: We go.
Speaker 2: What whoa like? What we're like?
Speaker 1: There's a there's a little series saying I'm a spiralis
Speaker 1: a spring chicken down the bottom the screenshot?
Speaker 5: Yeahank goodness, and we're like, what the hell? And then
Speaker 5: my air tag starts going off. No, it starts going
Speaker 5: beep beep. It does be no, no, no every now. And
Speaker 5: I've never heard this beat.
Speaker 2: I mean, my air tag does beat periodically. I don't
Speaker 2: know why.
Speaker 1: AirTag on the key. I highly recommend this is what the.
Speaker 2: Air tied your keys?
Speaker 3: No, not your clocky, let's hide the keys coy as.
Speaker 1: If no, they can't find my Yeah, this is.
Speaker 2: Actual safety one. I want you shouldn't show your keys. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's my keys. Guys. Are you ready? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that I know that noise. Okay, that's
Speaker 2: what I don't know that noise I know the first time. Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm confused.
Speaker 1: So that is what the sound should sound like when
Speaker 1: you're air tag your keys. Tell me I'm hearing.
Speaker 5: Beep and we don't know where it's coming from in
Speaker 5: the house.
Speaker 1: Then siriuh says I'm as old as a spring chicken. Ready,
Speaker 1: let me ask, Hey, sirih, how old are you? Siri bitch.
Speaker 6: For me.
Speaker 2: We talked about.
Speaker 1: Hey, Siri, how old are.
Speaker 5: You well, I came into existence gradually, but my first
Speaker 5: day as an assistant was.
Speaker 4: The fourth of October twenty eleven.
Speaker 3: Like, that's something that makes up if she remembers saying
Speaker 3: that she's a sprightly as a spring chicken.
Speaker 5: Hey, Siri, do you remember what you said on Saturday
Speaker 5: night when I asked you how old you are?
Speaker 2: Hmm?
Speaker 4: I don't have an answer for that?
Speaker 3: Is this?
Speaker 2: But you has a ghost? It was a ghost. You
Speaker 2: have proof.
Speaker 5: So all I'm saying is, guys, Sirih's always listening and
Speaker 5: I do believe in paranormal activity only when I'm with friends,
Speaker 5: and it's funny.
Speaker 3: Do you recall a couple of years ago, before Apple
Speaker 3: started this very intense privacy campaign, there was some kind
Speaker 3: of I don't know if it was information that came
Speaker 3: from Apple or someone who was asking a question about services,
Speaker 3: but it was asking how does live photo work? Like
Speaker 3: how are you able to get the photo moving before
Speaker 3: I've taken the photo? And they said, well, the camera
Speaker 3: is always always on. We only just start recording when
Speaker 3: you press record, so the data is always there. We
Speaker 3: just don't keep it unless you press record.
Speaker 5: Oh, they've got some compromising footage then yeah, so the
Speaker 5: camera's always rolling.
Speaker 1: We can't live by that.
Speaker 2: Us currently living like.
Speaker 1: That, five cameras in the venue. No anyway, Siri, if
Speaker 1: you are really haunting me, so is it Siria or
Speaker 1: the ghost?
Speaker 5: It's both serious and ghosts. Seria's are disembodied human right
Speaker 5: in my phone, God bless her.
Speaker 1: You're listening to flex and froom on Kata.
Speaker 3: Thank you to the invention of the clock app. I'm
Speaker 3: finding myself with front row access to concerts that I
Speaker 3: would never have thought that I would see Taylor Swift concert.
Speaker 3: I now know exactly what happens, no surprise. Is there
Speaker 3: the need to spend any money Beyonce, I get exactly
Speaker 3: what's happening there.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Be based intro be.
Speaker 3: Based intro d D did with the rise of the
Speaker 3: clock app. There's been a lot of discourse about the
Speaker 3: issue with phones and social media at Venus. People say, well,
Speaker 3: back in my day, we didn't have any phones, and
Speaker 3: that stuff tailed into this conversation about how people aren't
Speaker 3: actually able to have a good time at concerts because
Speaker 3: of other people's phone use. Right, if it's blocking your view,
Speaker 3: if it's disrupting, like the general energy. And so phones
Speaker 3: are so bad at concerts, why don't we get rid
Speaker 3: of them? Will you say, well, well, that's silly, because
Speaker 3: how will we promote how good the show was?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 6: True?
Speaker 2: Or where will we put the phones? Do we block
Speaker 2: them away?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: What if I want my phone for safety? What could
Speaker 3: it be? We understand wanting to get out the phone.
Speaker 3: You want to capture your moment. And most people who
Speaker 3: aren't content creators or super fans just want to capture
Speaker 3: a song or two for their own personal member they'll
Speaker 3: never watch again, that they'll never watch again. But that's
Speaker 3: their own prerogative. But if every person in this thirty
Speaker 3: thousand capacity and he wants to capture a song or two,
Speaker 3: suddenly the phone is out for the whole two hour show.
Speaker 3: What I am advocating form is in their new content creators,
Speaker 3: whose job it is to capture every single talk break,
Speaker 3: every single song, and every single major moment. At the
Speaker 3: end of the concert, you are able to access the footage,
Speaker 3: but you're limited to four videos max down lad by
Speaker 3: QR code and then you have the perfect vantage point,
Speaker 3: perfect sound quality of your night. If you really want
Speaker 3: to see it so bad it's there for you to access,
Speaker 3: and especially with the amount money people are spending on.
Speaker 2: Concerts these days.
Speaker 3: I thought I was breaking a bag when I spent
Speaker 3: two fifty to go see Drake maybe seven years ago.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is premium.
Speaker 1: Fifty just for you. Yeah, damn, and it was.
Speaker 3: It is premium Now people are paying five six, seven
Speaker 3: hundred to go see Scissor and Concert. You know, OK,
Speaker 3: two K to go see Beyonce. If I go pay
Speaker 3: two K to see Beyonce is on to phone, ye
Speaker 3: get in my line of sight?
Speaker 1: Well they should just do it on ah. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure when I saw Tame in Power, which is
Speaker 1: my Beyonce?
Speaker 2: Kevin Parker Beyonce?
Speaker 1: Can I get a T shirt? Kevin Parker is my Beyonce?
Speaker 5: Listen, I think this is a terrible idea if I
Speaker 5: paid that much money. I need my own vantage point
Speaker 5: because nobody can create or capture content quite like I can.
Speaker 1: There's a certain lack people.
Speaker 3: They're abusing that privilege of being able to capture that.
Speaker 5: I'll take one or two, yeah, but I'm not not
Speaker 5: out the whole time.
Speaker 3: Oh, we need to do what content photographers do. So
Speaker 3: I know at festivals you're allowed to photograph the first
Speaker 3: three songs in the pit and then you're out of there.
Speaker 3: Really security needs a space. Yeah cool, So maybe we
Speaker 3: need to implement some real rules, not these vague. You
Speaker 3: can only bring in a bag that's thirty less than
Speaker 3: thirty centimeters wide. Okay, thank you. Real rules for the
Speaker 3: concert experience, because people.
Speaker 1: Do because flex has a weapon.
Speaker 2: It's my foot in the back of your and.
Speaker 5: It's also COVID because you just spread flex and rooms
Speaker 5: on Kaita. I love games. I love board games, excluding Monopoly.
Speaker 5: Don't even ask me to play Monopoly. I don't get it.
Speaker 5: I've only played it for ten minutes and then lost concentration. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm a you know girlie, and I'll do it little,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 1: I thought it was is it?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I call it? You know guys.
Speaker 5: Anyway, I was on the top and I found this game. Mikayla,
Speaker 5: please play the talk to explain what it is.
Speaker 7: Chicken nuggets to Kaylie Jenner three to one girl, Yeah,
Speaker 7: fast pressure, Okay, It's perfect. It's McDonald's, Travis Scott Mill
Speaker 7: Marketing Advertising, MJ.
Speaker 4: Travis Scott.
Speaker 7: There is Kanye you could go there, be here, just time.
Speaker 4: Let's go baby.
Speaker 5: So basically what he's done is he starts off on
Speaker 5: a particular Wikipedia page and then he times himself to
Speaker 5: try and get to another Wikipedia page through the links
Speaker 5: on Wikipedia. So he's gone from Chicken Nuggets to Kylie
Speaker 5: Jenner today. I want to play the same game. You
Speaker 5: can also play it at home, provided you not driving,
Speaker 5: provided you're just sitting in your bedroom, for example, always
Speaker 5: in the bedroom. I want you to decide. I'm going
Speaker 5: to start at Hungry Jack's. I want to get somewhere random.
