WEBVTT - We've Got News 😭💔😔

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Flex and Frooms, Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and Frooms catch up podcast. Mommy and Daddy have something

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit sad to tell all of you, our children,

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>our listeners, that Flex and Frooms incorporated. We are consciously

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>uncoupling from the show and from each.

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Other, like Gwen and Chris taught us. Literally, I'm probably

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Chris in this situation. It's been two years. It's cute,

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 2>it's sweet. But the girlies are girl bosses. And what

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>do girl bosses do best?

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>They girl boss or they don't do anything exactly.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 3>They do their.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Bit, they do it well, they go on to new things.

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 2>And that's all we're doing today. According to studies everywhere,

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>go ask business Insider, the average duration of employment, isn't

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>it like eighteen months?

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we've I know, I was going to say

0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.959
<v Speaker 1>two years is pretty good. It feels like rudak. This

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>is not the.

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Time to redact. This is the last time we're gonna

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>be together. Get it out. It's a couple's therapy.

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay. It's been really fun. Yeah, loved having redacted food

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>delivery service with you every Wednesday because that's the day

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that we get food.

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Look, this is like you know, when you resign from

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>a normal job, you can just leave. In this instance,

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>we have to provide context, and context is weird. You know,

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>nobody likes an exit interview.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 1>What context can we give? It's just time to go, guys.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>It's as simple as that. It's been a pleasure working together.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Why do you say it's song and karuguy. It's time

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 2>to go, guys? What can we say? Credit baby?

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Good news though. Yeah, we're not dying. We're not dead.

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>We plan to be in media a very long time. Actually,

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>we will find you on the internet.

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>On the internet, you just know where to find me.

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna launch your book. It's going to be incredible.

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>The nonsense continues together and apart, but.

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't threat guys. We have one last live recording in

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>none other than Melbourne. It is at Always Live, which

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is outside the Arts Center, so you can get the train,

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>all the tram come, have a little look and then

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>go and get coffee on gravel straight and it's free. Yeah,

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>of course you just come and look. It's like we're

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>animals in a box exactly that. Yeah. Tech time, tech time,

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 1>tech time, It's tech time with Flex and froomes on Kater.

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Push it to the next level.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>We are holding a funeral in our minds for the

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>CEO and co founder of chat GPT who was recently

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and some would say unfairly fired. Now, why is that

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 2>a big deal? We've been talking about AI for a

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.679
<v Speaker 2>little while on our show, maybe the whole time. Actually

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>it's about eighteen months of talking about AI and not

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>really understanding it. We've been trying our hardest to figure

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 2>it out, and I think the goalposts keep moving once

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 2>it feels like it makes sense. This is a whole

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 2>new update chat GPT three, then chat GPT four, and

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>there's mid journey and all of these different functions, and

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really sure how to integrate it properly. But

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>this came up on my feeds and I thought that

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>it was just like regular you get fired, it's not

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. Maybe you did something slightly illegal, but

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>the conspiracy is really layered, and so what I will

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>do is lead with the facts.

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:09.119
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 2>So CHATGBT is owned, it's a for profit owned for

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>it by a not for profit called open Ai, and

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 2>open AI's big stick is about like finding smart and

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>safe ways to integrate AI in a way that benefits humanity.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Emphasis on that. So there's a board of directors like

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>six people. Elon Musk is one of them, but Sam

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Altman is the guy that they chose to be the

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>face because Elon has other things going on, and so

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>do the other people on the board. Maybe he's the

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>most charismatic.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Who knows.

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Open Ai came out and said that the board no

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>longer has confidence in Sam's ability to continue leading open ai,

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>and then Sam in response said, I loved my time

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>open Ai. It was transformative for me personally and hopefully

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the world a little bit. Most of all, I loved

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>working with such talented people. Will have more to say

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>about what's next later. Strangely enough, that was written in

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>all lowercase, which I think was very very cute and sweet.

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he wanted to situate he wasn't using chat

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>GPT right, like.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>This is honest, It's coming from a real person.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 2>And then so I was like, okay, cool, Like what's

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>the big deal with this because it feels amicable, and

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>almost immediately everyone's like, nas, something's off. So days prior,

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Microsoft had come out and said that they were forbidding

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 2>any of their employees to use chat GPT, and I

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 2>think it might have exented to their devices because it

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't safe. People like, what do you mean it's not

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>safe because we've heard things like anything you put into

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 2>chat GPT can be used and scrubbed by chat ChiPT

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 2>for other people's information. So let's say you wanted to

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 2>write a song using chat GPT and you put in

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>your current lyrics as inspo. That's in the database for

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>anyone to have access to if they were to also

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 2>write a song with the same terms and whatever. So

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 2>they said, don't put anything discretionary in there. But Microsoft

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 2>was inferring that it's worse than that that, like your

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>whole system is not safe and it's compromise for use chatchipt.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 3>That's one thing.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Then there was beef between Sam Oltman, the guy who

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>got fired because straight after his co founder, Greg who's

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>his friend, quit in solidarity with Sam Strange. What's that about? Then, Ilia,

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 2>who's the main guy who's speaking of AHLF of open AI,

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>has basically come forward and said, our priority at chat

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>ChiPT is to make sure that we are accelerating AI

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 2>in a way that benefits humanity, slow and safe. Even

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>elon mask is like AI can be really dangerous. Let's

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 2>not push it. Let's do slow and say so when

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Elon's saying slow and say what do Greg and Sam

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 2>believe in that they're now getting fired for what exactly?

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>So people are speculating that basically Sam Oltman has uncovered

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>this thing, this kind of copy or code that's going

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to accelerate AI so fast, and it's going to spiral

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>out of control, and the only inevitable conclusion is that

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>we are going to be impacted unfairly almost immediately. Now,

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 2>just a couple of days after this all came out

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 2>and you thought the dust was going to settle open,

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 2>AIS employees are either threatening or considering leaving to go

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>with Sam Major What is this?

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>So?

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's happening at this point. It's all

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of alleged. I don't really have the full story.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anyone has the full story. But just

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>know this is gonna get worse, and better keep your

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 2>finger on the pulse with this one.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Probably my favorite cuisine outside of McDonald's is Italian. As

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Mickey know's, I like to bring a little Italian food

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>in for us Today I brought carbonara that's Italian, Yeah

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it is, and I made it with no cream. Guys,

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>so I was doing the real deal.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 3>What did you put in he.

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>And no other cream? Like? No, you do like a

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.559
<v Speaker 1>plant based option? No, I didn't. You don't use cream

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>with carbonara? Okay, Hunty, I'm pretty sure Mickey is Italian.

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm curious.

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Ethnically I'm like from the UK.

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 3>But I do know for a fact, do not.

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Go back to you. We do a best of those

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>moments anyway, Guys, I have a story about parmesan from

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>a listener. This is a really arduous and a harrowing story. Hi, queens,

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>very random little tidbit here, but wanted to pick your

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 1>brain about this as I am reeling inside. So my

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend and I were out to dinner last night at

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a pretty well known Italian pasta place, docks It Palace.

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>We were seated and were brought our meals, and with

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>said meals, we were giving a little bowl of parmesan

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and a little spoon to put on top of our

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>past us. As I'd had a few glasses of veno

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>by this point, I was feeling a little cheeky and

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>decided to just have a small little teaspoon of the

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>parmesan as a taste test before sprinkling it onto the dish.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Just for your information, I had used said spoon that

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>came in the bowl with the cheese. So here's me

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>scooping up a little palme into my mouth and lapping

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>it up off the spoon. Don't judge anyway. Half an

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>hour goes by and the waitress comes up, reaches down

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to grab the pot of parmesan and says, do you

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>mind if I take this, then proceeds to walk it

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>over to another table sandspoon, same ball saint parmesan that

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I had been eating directly from the ball.

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>No, babe, I can see the confusion. I can see

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.239
<v Speaker 2>the confusion. Maybe I can't.

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>That's disgusting. Maybe I can't.

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine an establishment where once you've been served

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 2>your pasta, the additional parmesan will come and it's yours.

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 2>But if it was already sitting on the table that

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 2>reads communal.

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not about that life. I'm also

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>not about the little salt dish in the middle with

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a black maiden sea salt branch and any crunch it

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 1>between your fingers, like, leave me out of it. The

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>only vibe that I like is when the person comes

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 1>over with the cheese grater. Mmmm.

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like that.

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Why it's just a bit real, the other naked a

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>bit real.

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I just won't the assembly to be done out of

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>sight because I don't want to start getting in my

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>head about when when there's a hand been washed, what's the.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Technique blah blah blah.

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 2>True that being said, though, I imagine this is the

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of parmesan that is like granulated, like spherical maybe,

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 2>and that never feels high quality, and it absolutely feels communal.

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Not the powdered parmesan in a little spirit, the powdered.

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Palmsan that's got some condensation that's like helped it expand

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 2>a little bit.

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Mmm. Coigate Eh, horrible stuff. Well, listen, I actually don't mind.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I love people that admit embarrassing things. I think it's

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.719
<v Speaker 1>a very embarrassing.

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 3>You were hard done by hah.

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 2>So I mean I feel that this story hasn't ended though.

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 2>What happened then, well, I.

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Think she was just getting it off her chest because

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>she felt like quite guilty about it.

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 2>No, guilt's not necessary, your phone, you're a victim, MUMMAE.

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Can I listen to flex?

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>And fooms flex and froms Okai. A couple of.

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Weeks ago, I had the urge within my system to

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 2>google what eat prey love is is the origin of

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 2>that phrase? Because we use it quite liberally. I kind

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>of thought it just meant like introspect or something like,

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 2>you take some time out introspect, you know, maybe start meditating.

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't too far off.

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a kind of a memoir, an autobiography by this

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>woman who goes who experiences.

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.000
<v Speaker 3>A divorce, her life falls apart.

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>She travels around India and a few other countries, and

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.199
<v Speaker 2>she writes what that experience is like, and it was

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 2>like overwhelmingly good and bad. Some people were like, you're

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 2>running away from your problems.

0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Get a grip.

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Other people like, no, this is amazing. You're finding yourself.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 2>What are the odds that I would go to India

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>not more than three weeks later do the exact same thing.

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 2>I said, there's no way you can go to India

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 2>and not immediately want to simulate eat prey love.

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 3>There's something about it.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.119
<v Speaker 2>We were doing six am yoga, we were humming with chanting,

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.479
<v Speaker 2>we were eating mostly vegetarian.

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 3>We're going to temples. We were like it was like

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 3>slow state vibes.

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>The thing that I would say, though, and the one

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 2>thing that I feel like did my journey a disservice

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.760
<v Speaker 2>but also made it the best, is that people people's

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 2>preconceived ideas about what India would be like are all

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>coming from a very movie lens. Like when I told

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 2>people I was going to India, the first nay said

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh my goodness, you vaccinated?

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 3>Have you got vaccinations?

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Papes?

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Like what are you talking about? Like relax? Are we

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 3>not just going to a new place? Like what's the

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 3>worst could happen?

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Then it was immediate horror story, Oh be careful, do

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 2>this do that.

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like, it's not that deep.

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>You go there and you know how we mentioned like

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>when you go to America, it's exactly the same as

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 2>the movies. You can't discern you think everyone's a paid

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>actor because of how.

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Good everybody is as being a human.

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Right. I went to India and I'm like, pabes, nobody

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 2>prepared me for this exact thing. For the one thing

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>that was so stark, I got into our van, We're

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 2>in the city, I'm.

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Like, where are the women? Where are the women?

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I just why are there so many

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>men everywhere? And then immediately I to a guy was like, oh, well,

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>like generally speaking, commerce and business is what men are

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.680
<v Speaker 2>usually doing here, and so you're a commerce area shopping,

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>there are gonna be more men. And so from the

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>very onset and throughout, it's like having to like rewire

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 2>your brain for these preconceived ideas that really came from

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 2>prejudices and stereotypes so don't actually exist. We had so

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 2>many opportunities to go into houses of local people and

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 2>just like eat with them and cook with them and stuff,

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 2>and was like, you know how you can do like

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 2>full tourists and only go to landmarks. We were doing

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 2>like full tourists, and then like full regular people cosplay

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 2>to the point where I'm like, whose house am I.

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Sitting in here?

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 2>They're like, who's I'm making chapati right now in someone's kitchen.

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to Mickey about it earlier today and

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I said, I cannot fault the trip at all. Wow, Like,

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>no part of it could I fault, which is very

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>surprising because I'm opinionated and I could imagine a lot

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 2>could go wrong. It was an influencer trip. It was

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 2>a twelve day trip packed into seven days. But there

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>was not one thing that wasn't like, Wow, that's great.

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow you had good roommates or like fellow travelers, good

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>fellow travelers a fantastic two guid to.

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 2>A guide was really good at explaining cultural context because

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.959
<v Speaker 2>from her perspective, being Indian, she's aware of Australian culture,

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.440
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't the other way around. So she was

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 2>constantly drawing comparisons and parallels, making sure we went into

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>every space really mindful about the reality of the space

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>that we were occupying, making us really aware of how

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 2>we'd be perceived, even if we didn't feel comfortable. So

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I remember when she was suggesting that we get Hannah

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and we were like, no, bough please no. She was like,

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 2>this is the cultural context of Hannah. This is what's happening,

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 2>it's devali at the moment, this is what we're doing.

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>This is why it's appropriate, this is why it might

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.079
<v Speaker 2>not be appropriate. Level I was like, babes, you are

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 2>educating us. It was truly phenomenal and I really needed

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 2>that because I was getting a bit fatigued of holiday

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 2>in my own style. You know, you can go sit

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.599
<v Speaker 2>by a pool anywhere, and you don't really feel refreshed.

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 2>But it was like putting myself outside of my comfort

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 2>zone in a very comfortable way because it was it

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>five star accommodation.

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>It was, of course it was.

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 3>It had to be.

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I like that a circuit breaker.

0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 3>What a great phrase. I'm gonna write that down.

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Circuit breaker.

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 1>That's it. What context do you use that in a context?

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Just like this, when you just do something out of

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>your regular routine. Yeah, and it jolts you in a

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.959
<v Speaker 1>positive way. That's cool. Do you know what?

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 2>It's also been a circuit breaker. I did what you

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 2>recommended a couple of weeks ago, just went for a walk.

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Clear my head really works well, really does work.

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Seriously, guys, try it one dime. Unfortunately, the dog propaganda

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 1>must stop. I've had enough of it. Tell me why

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>everyone decided one day that they lack dog oas and

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it became a personality trait.

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I always thought you were a dog person.

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>That is the craziest stuff ever to me. It's not though,

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 1>why would I be a dog person?

0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.479
<v Speaker 3>Your brand is dog presenting.

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 2>That is I would say, I see more chihuahwas on

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 2>your feed than I see of your own work like.

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>That's how often we see dogs in your content? Okay,

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 2>but how can we misinterpret that?

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Sorry I'm wrong. See the difference is I don't think

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 1>of chuahwas as dogs. They are a whole different like

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>category of creature. But I'm talking your classic labrador style dog.

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not about that. Life and our darling, pretty Simicky

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>has brought to me some what's it called when it's

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>the opposite of propaganda? Some facts, some hard universal truths

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>that are indisputable about dog's behavior, which I think we need.

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 3>To look into anything indisputable.

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>This, I think is out the first indisputable piece of information.

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>So Allegedly, dogs chase their tails for a few reasons,

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>let me read them out. Number One, puppies do it

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>just for fun. So you see little puppy going around

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and around in circle, it's just having fun. Two for

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>bored and more to self soothed. So you know when

0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>you get home. Let's say you live in an apartment

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and your housemate's got a dog. You get home and

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the dog's behaving crazy, running around. It's because it's bored

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's trying to self soothe. That's also like when

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you see a dog turn around in a little bean

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 1>bag thing for it to get comfy. It's okay. Dogs

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>with neurological disorders such as caneine can pulsive disorder. Bitter

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>me the dog version of obsessive compulsive disorder. I didn't

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>know that was. Is that real dog's gonna have obsessive

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>compositors or goddamn, that's why they take their anxiety pills. Finally,

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 1>another reason dogs may chase their tails is to seek attention.

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>A dog's owner may have rewarded this behavior by laughing

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>or saying called boilbool girl. And even if dogs chase

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.280
<v Speaker 1>their tails, I don't know what's the human equivalent. What
