WEBVTT - When You Match With Someone On Tinder But They Want Your Friend Instead 🔥

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>The Flex and Rooms Daily Podcast, brought to you by Cata.

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Hello munchkins, it's Flex and Frooms here in podcast form,

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and Tonight's or today's or this afternoons episode, you'd be

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 2>listening to it whenever, but I think of this as

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 2>a tonight episode because it's salacious, it's juicy, and it

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 2>involves a guy called ASMR Daddy. If you want to go, actually, no,

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 2>look at his Instagram profile after you listen to this,

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 2>just because you're going to listen to this podcast and

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>then you're going to go look at one of his

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 2>videos and then he can go to his Instagram to

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>get the whole package, because he is a man who

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>records porn episodes that are just audio. Have people in

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 2>this studio listen to them?

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, as a group team building exit grides.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Kata's hr is having an absolute CONNIPTIONI in the corner,

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just gonna leave it at that. Have a

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>little listen. We learned a little bit about dirty talk,

0:00:56.320 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 2>which I think is an underutilized sexual experience which sends

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>shivers down my spine in a good way, good and bad.

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm scared of it, but of course it's nice. Let's

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>just get straight into it. Flex And have you ever

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 2>been on a dating app and you've got a picture

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>of you and a friend up? Let's say, I know

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 2>you don't really like to put a friends on your profile,

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>but I like.

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 3>To do imagination exercises. Let me take it there.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Yep, Okay, you're on the dating app, picture of you

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>and your friend. Your friend is considerably attractive. Yeah, as

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 2>they all are more attractive than the other gets and

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 2>you say someone you think is really hot on the app,

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>so you swipe right, you guys match. He hits you

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>back and says, hey, you seem really great and I'm

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>actually interested in your friend? Can I have her number?

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 3>The classic bait and switch? What do I feel about it?

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Has it happened to you? No, it hasn't, because I

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 3>have friends in my profile pictures. But if it did,

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 3>that's the risk you take by integrating more than one face,

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 3>because what you're doing you should be marketing you as

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 3>the one person. Now you're marketing you and the crew.

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 3>In some ways, you're saying, here, I'm an option, and

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 3>so is the crew. Come to me and I will

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 3>disseminate any expressions of interest. I'd imagine that happens quite

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 3>a bit. Well, I haven't done it before, but maybe

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I want to.

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>You want to be on the receiving end, Maybe I.

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Want to do that. If I see a hotty in

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 3>the background.

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I would feel really bad. I don't want to do

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 2>that because they've obviously you've matched them, so they think

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>you're attractive and.

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Then you just else as I meant to let them know.

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Discussing and true, Well.

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 3>Have you done it? Have you experienced it? What's going on? No,

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 3>this is a confession.

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>No, someone just messaged me and said, do you think

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that's bad?

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Has that ever happened? Can you talk about on airs?

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just airing it. We were discussing this without producer Brook,

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>who is in the studio. We've set a mic up

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 2>specifically for her to tell us this story. She is

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>telling us about a time this happened to her. Which

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 2>end was she on? I don't know, let's hear Highbrook.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 5>Hi, So it actually happened to me in reverse. So

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 5>my best friend and I shared a Tinder account.

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>And it's like a shared Facebook.

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was a shared one, and it was It

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 5>was absolutely chaos because we could literally be in the

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 5>same chat talking to the same guy and they would

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 5>have no idea. It was the best thing ever until

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 5>one day a guy was just saying, oh.

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>But which one are you?

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 5>I preferred this one, and it turned out he was

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 5>actually meaning me, not her.

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 2>But I knew that.

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 5>She could see all these chats, so I was like, oh,

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. I don't want to offend her.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 3>But it wasn't that the point, Like, what was the

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 3>point of having the shared account if not to It.

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 5>Was honestly just for to mess around with.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't really to do anything with.

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 5>Were you single at the time, Yeah, we both were

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 5>the old just kidding experience. But it surprised me because

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 5>I thought it was going to happen the other way around,

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 5>because my friends, I would say, is more attractive than me.

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>So I was kind of shook by that.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Did you have when you made the joint account? Were

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>you under the impression that people would just want to

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 3>speak to both of you or were you expecting that

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 3>someone'd be like just double checking, I want to talk

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 3>to the Shrek loving croc wearing hytail print on print wearing,

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 3>not the other one.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 5>I think at the time I had been banned on

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 5>Tinder in the past. So we were just like I honestly,

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 5>I can't even remember lies. It's happened little time now,

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 5>but it was like our way around it.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 3>We're like, why don't we get a joint account?

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.919
<v Speaker 2>So we did it. But you can imagine how it

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>turned into.

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 5>They thought they were getting a package deal and yeah,

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 5>so it kind of went to a few weird places.

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 3>As it would.

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, I mean it was amazing, But.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>You can't be doing a double profile if you're not

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>willing to chop out.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Double profile I think is great in theory. I don't

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 3>think enough people are friends with people who are their

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 3>aesthetic match. I think it'd be if I had a

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 3>joint account with any of my friends, it'd be mayhem

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 3>mm be like what vibes are we going to get

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 3>in return? To be so confusing, I think I'm.

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>With people that are all on the same level of attractiveness.

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm not talking attractiveness, I'm talking aesthetics.

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 2>That's same. I feel like aesthetics attract aesthetics.

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 3>No, I wish they did. You're a bit more no,

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>but you like that could be your experience. But there's

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 3>a way that the gamer bro art girl archetype exists

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 3>if aesthetics attracted aesthetics. There's no way the creative girl

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 3>finance bro archetype exists if aesthetic attracts aesthetics.

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 2>But you know we are part of that pipeline. Unfortunately

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>it happens. Well, thanks Brook, no worries. We're unfortunately banned now.

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 3>So so that's your fourth fourth account. We'll have to

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 3>hear the other stories.

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank god, you've got a boyfriend now.

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Gotta keep off the apps.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Leave it all for us.

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and frooms.

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 2>We love TikTok. We're spend a lot of time on

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>TikTok too much realistically, Yeah, yes, but I mean it's

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of replaced the time that I would have spent

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 2>on Facebook, and I'm actually learning stif I.

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Would say my feed is twenty percent educational, like there

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 3>is a lot of fodder that I'm sifting through to

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 3>get to the educational stuff. And because everybody's trying to

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 3>create content that suits this algorithm, things are getting shorter

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 3>and shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter. Like, I'm

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 3>so sorry I cannot learn with a seven second video.

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna need you to make the three to five

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 3>minute once and make them quick.

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>One of the earlier news guys that does the little

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>news wrap up in the morning. He was saying that

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 2>supposedly Australian tech experts want TikTok to be banned, but

0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>essentially this Australian data company has released about TikTok, that

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 2>apparently they are harvesting users data in a way that

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 2>is unbecoming of them to do so. Yeah, and that

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>the Chinese company has it and I didn't really explain

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 2>or disclose that.

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 3>So what I also read in a similar article is

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 3>that they're saying that most social media apps have really

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 3>ridiculous terms and conditions, so if anybody really read through them,

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 3>they wouldn't feel totally comfortable giving anybody this much access

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 3>to their data, but that TikTok asks for just way

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 3>too much in comparison. Here's the thing. People are given

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 3>these terms and conditions and they accept it, and I

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 3>feel like most people are more concerned with being entertained

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 3>than protecting their privacy in this instance. Though TikTok has

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 3>said before they're not a social media app, They're a

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 3>tech company. The function of TikTok for the user is

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 3>like it's a social media app. No, it's always been

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 3>made to mind data to build more advanced algorithms, to

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 3>then sell these algorithms to other people. I just feel

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 3>like people are being a bit xenophobic. They're like, mmm,

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 3>but it's the Chinese government that's doing it. It's Chinese

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 3>tech companies that are doing it.

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 2>What who cares?

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 3>At this point?

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was thinking, because I'm like, we knew,

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 2>we have literal evidence that Facebook and Instagram have used

0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 2>our data in crazy ways, but I feel like nobody

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>cares that much because it's USA, so it's our brethren.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Like do you remember or like what was it called

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Cambridge Analytic Hight when they like used all the data

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to change the election? Literally, do you remember the onnly

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>reason Donald Trump got into power was because like the

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 2>only reason or a big reason, like an enormous reason

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>was because Facebook ads. Somehow I'm totally butchering this, but

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 2>like some political parties bought ads in a way that

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 2>like got all the ads to the right people, and

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 2>like that shouldn't really be how political campaigns run.

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 3>No digital marketing just vibes.

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I agree that it's cenophobic, but I also think people

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>probably have like a fair enough reason to be scared

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>of it.

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Either way, I feel like leave the apps. The thing

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 3>about me, I'm an app's girly. If I see any

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 3>app that piques my interest even slightly, I'm downloading it,

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.079
<v Speaker 3>accepting commissions. Leave it on my phone, letting it take

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 3>my metadata like location tags on private browser, never incognito mode.

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Don't need it, so I'm on board. Let me get involved.

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Bye dance.

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 3>They can't take TikTok away now we just gotten into it.

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I know it's a bit like that.

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I'll give all the other apps to TikTok really one

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent. Well, thank you for kind of giving us

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 3>all the facts we need.

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>This is flex and Froomes on Keta back in July.

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>A little bit earlier this month, we got an email.

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 2>The title was Pawn Podcasts Politics. A woman called Jesco's

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 2>HIPHUMO love that per I just had my first experimental

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 2>experience with ASMR pawn and then in brackets, imagine if

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 2>that was it? Send email I love that, I love it.

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>In college. In turn, as a listener of the Potty,

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it would be interesting to hear an interview

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 2>with ASMR Daddy, who happens to be Australian with some

0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 2>strong opinions on feminism, sub safety, et cetera. This is

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 2>the ASMR video I literally just listened to and I'm

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 2>going to play it right now. Just find a little

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 2>bit that's not too salacious vulnerable at my mercy. That's

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 2>ASMI Daddy. He basically does these thirty minute meditations almost

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>where he's guiding you through what to do. He's the dom.

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 2>He's telling you you're a dirty little bip and he

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 2>wants to beep and you're beep and do it until

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you beep. So she goes on to say, this is

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>his Instagram and send me his Instagram. She said, this

0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 2>is not a sponsored ad. I don't know this person,

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 2>just a midnight discovery. Yes, get it.

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 3>And so this has piqued your interest? Why?

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Because audio pawn is super interesting. I know there's a

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of like women like a lot of sites that

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 2>cater to women. And weirdly enough, I was on TikTok

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and this woman was like, it came off on

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.959
<v Speaker 2>my for you page obviously because I knew I was

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>going to come in today and do this, and I

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 2>was basically this woman saying that she'd start out of

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>this site, which was all audio porn for women, because

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 2>women are better at using their imaginations with sex, whereas

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 2>men like to have the visual apparently. And so what

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 2>I've gone and done is collected ASMMR Daddy's name. Now

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 2>we don't know his actual.

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Name, but he goes by Rick in the community.

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>So Rick, I like that, I do too. On his Instagram,

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>you can like kind of see his face. He's got

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>long hair and tattoos.

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.199
<v Speaker 3>And what is your interest with asmar Daddy? Is this?

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 5>Like?

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Are you interested in asmar porn? Are you intrigued? Are

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 3>you curious? What do you want to find out from him?

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Because I feel like you've got your phone up a

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 3>little call.

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>To pressing dial. I guess I want to know how

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 2>he got into it, and I want to talk to

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>him about parasocial relationships. So if you don't know what

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>a parasocial relationship is, it's when you like follow someone

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.719
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram, for example, you follow them so much so

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.319
<v Speaker 2>you think that you know them. You've experienced parasocial relationships.

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Little FLEXI I have, I shall have and you've had

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 2>to put boundaries up at.

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 3>I have And it's fine. It goes both ways. I

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 3>think there's like a huge benefit of having a parasosal

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 3>relationship because it creates this closer connection with you and

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 3>people who consume you. And what often happens is this

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 3>I would call a bit of a paradox. When people

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 3>seek to understand you as a person, they can kind

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 3>of bypass your boundaries to do so, Like they want

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 3>more context so you appear more real. They want to

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.840
<v Speaker 3>know what you eat and when you sleep, and who

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 3>you date, and what your mental illnesses are so they

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 3>can view you as a full picture, not recognizing that

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 3>by requesting that information they're kind of dehumanizing you. BM

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 3>hype to hear you chat to him. I don't know

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 3>what I would want to ask him just yet, but

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm keen to see what he's about, why he does it,

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 3>and any kind of difficulties with like the career that

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 3>he's created for himself. I know I scrolled through his

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 3>Instagram briefly and I saw him have to do a

0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 3>PSA to people to you know, not send him unclessd

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 3>nudes and to not like solicit him for sex or anything,

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 3>like he's just here to provide a service for consumption,

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 3>like the videos, not him. So I thought that was fascinating,

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 3>But there's a little shit chat.

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Hell, Hi, Rick, how are you going.

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 4>Good?

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Yourself?

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 4>Good? Good?

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm through me and flex Hi. Can you hear her?

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 3>This is so much fun.

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 2>We're good, We're good, We're We're excited to talk to you.

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little bit nervous. We don't talk to people

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 2>on the phone often or really sad.

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 3>You got phone anxiety.

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 4>For phone conversations anymore?

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Literally, not me, not us. So Rick, we know that

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Rick is your ASMR daddy name. Is that correct?

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Correct?

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Well could you start by telling me how you

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 2>got into being a SMR daddy?

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, look, it really began the early days of lockdown.

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 4>So it was probably like like a couple of months

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 4>into that, that first lockdown a couple of years ago,

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.199
<v Speaker 4>and I was having a zoom call with a friend

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 4>and she and I were just discussing like how bad

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 4>modern porn was, right, because this was kind of like

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 4>the this was the beginning of everyone's like lockdown sexual frustration.

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 4>I think she was constantly just talking about like how

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 4>terrible you know, the mainstream porn was. It was very

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 4>you know from the cis head male gaze and her

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 4>big big issue with it was always like, oh my god,

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 4>by the men so quiet, and obviously you know we

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 4>we've been partners in the past, and she knew that

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 4>I had a talent for talking dirty. And yeah, she

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 4>just asked if I could send her like a couple

0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 4>of audios just to get her through like her lockdown

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 4>sexual frustration.

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 3>A resourceful queen, go out into your community and seek help.

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 4>So like I did, Like I just I recorded a

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 4>couple of things and sent it through to her, and

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 4>then like the next time we caught up on zoom,

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 4>she was like, look, please don't get mad. I should

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 4>have asked for permission. And I'm like, what did you do?

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 4>And she's like, look, I sent them to the group

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 4>chat and now like now myself and a couple of

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 4>like girls have like requests.

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Not the distribution channel.

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 4>And so that's what really began. And look, she was

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 4>really like she was kind of the inspiration. She's like, look,

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 4>this is a public service. Can you just please put

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 4>this out there. I'm sure it'll find an audience. And yeah,

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 4>like fast forward, like I still remember when it first

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 4>like it ticked over like ten thousand views over a

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.760
<v Speaker 4>pornhub and I'm like, oh my god, this really does

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 4>have an audience. So yeah, that's how it's not.

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Okay, let's hes got a hand up. She's got

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 2>a question.

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Got a question for you, Rick is answer my daddy.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Your full time job at the moment? Is that your

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 3>sole income stream or are you moonlighting?

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, like it's it's definitely just something that I'm

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 4>still doing on the side. Look, it got to a point,

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 4>probably like twelve months in where it could have been

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 4>something but if I could have taken a turn and

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 4>done it full time. But yeah, look, there's a part

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 4>of me that doesn't want to make it my full

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 4>time job because I don't really I don't want to

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 4>take like the joy out of it, like the you know,

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to make it a job. Like I

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 4>think part of the reason that it's always kind of

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 4>resonated is with people is that I'm not doing it

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 4>for the paycheck, like and and the organic nature of it,

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Like I only make stuff when i'm you know, in

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 4>the mood, or I feel like it or I'm inspired.

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to try to adhere to like a

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 4>rigid schedule. Me Like, all right, well, got to get

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 4>out my third audio for the fortnight, you know, because

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 4>then it's just gonna It's like if it starts becoming

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 4>a job. I think if like something you're passionate about

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 4>starts becoming a job, you just you lose.

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>A little bit of that love for it.

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, no, it's just something that I'm doing on

0:16:58.800 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 4>the side.

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I like that a little side pace. How did you

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 2>learn how to talk dirty?

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 3>This is a great question for me.

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.919
<v Speaker 4>I can get really deep on this because, look, I

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 4>think a big part of it comes from the fact that,

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, like my like growing up in suburban kind

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 4>of you know, Australia. You know, I was very much

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 4>surrounded by and raised by that toxic you know, Australian masculinity,

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 4>and a huge part of that is just not being

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 4>able to communicate about how you feel, not being able

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.440
<v Speaker 4>to like communicate, you know, clearly with people about your emotions.

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 4>And so to me, it really began in kind of

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 4>breaking that down and learning how to actually talk about

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 4>my feelings and talk about you know, my fears, like

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 4>all like those deeply those deep things that I kind

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 4>of you know, got into through therapy. That's where it

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 4>really where it began. When I started learning how to

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 4>communicate and how like when you do that clearly and

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 4>concisely with people, it just takes a lot of issues

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 4>off the table. And so I started, you know, when

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 4>I started bringing that into sex, like it made sex better, right,

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 4>like being able to clearly kind of communicate with people

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.800
<v Speaker 4>your desires and find out what their desires are, and

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 4>being able to have those honest conversations. So I think

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 4>that's where it began. And the dirty talk was just

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 4>really an extension of that, like verbalizing fantasies and and

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 4>and speaking them aloud and kind of pushing past that

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 4>shame that so many people have around sex still. So

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.479
<v Speaker 4>I have to give credit to just sort of amazing

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 4>women in my life as well, like I had, so

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 4>there were some older women in my twenties who kind

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 4>of really started introducing me to kink because they kind

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 4>of saw my interest in it and helped me kind of,

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, get over that kind of initial hump of

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:59.919
<v Speaker 4>the unintended discussing and talking about as a dad joke freezer.

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, while we have you can we get just a

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 3>dirty talking cheek go to people who don't want to

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 3>uncover and unpack their fears and wants and needs before

0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 3>they use the skill. So you what's a fail safe

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 3>maybe phrase or you know, formation of words that kind

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.160
<v Speaker 3>of does the trick more often than not.

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, do you know what?

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.560
<v Speaker 4>I think it's just a great startup phase is do

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 4>you like that?

0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say that, you.

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Know, you're not even diving into the r raided stuff yet,

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:33.880
<v Speaker 4>but just clearly asking like is this something you're enjoying?

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 4>I think is a great way to kind of kick

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 4>off that as a dialogue, right, like, don't assume, don't

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 4>sit there not knowing, like bring that out. I think

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 4>once you start kind of you know, having that internal

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 4>conversation the stuff, like the conversation you're having in your

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 4>own head and having it with your partner, I think

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 4>that starts cracking the door open to you know, getting

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, far more debaucherous.

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 3>As ill talking about the dinner and back to have

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm like hungry and then so like I say, we've

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 3>done the do you like that? But we're gearing up

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 3>for a ninety minute session there so by fifteen minutes

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 3>I have exhausted that. Do you like that? What's next?

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 4>I think that's when you need to kind of like

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.400
<v Speaker 4>start bringing just a couple couple of like dirtier terms, right,

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 4>need to be like swinging from the chandaliers with a

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 4>game mask on straight away, right, Like.

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 2>So when you're actually recording it, so full disclosure, I

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.639
<v Speaker 2>have to be honest. I listened to it because I

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 2>thought I can't come in here without listening to it.

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:33.160
<v Speaker 1>You have a journalistic integrity.

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 2>I do such, and I've got a lot of spare time.

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we were actually put onto you by

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 2>a woman called Jess who sent me an email about you,

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>and she said it was one of her first experiences

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 2>with audio porn and that she had a great time.

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:49.679
<v Speaker 2>And when I was listening to it, I was just

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.120
<v Speaker 2>thinking to myself at times, like what are you doing

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 2>yourself when you're making this? Are you sitting in a

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 2>room Like obviously the microphone and stuff, the quality's got

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>to be good, so how do you set that up?

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:01.119
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing?

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 4>Like ninety percent of the time, I am actually like

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 4>indulging in the actual fantasy myself as well, And I

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 4>think that's part of the reason that it appeals to people.

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>It's because, like.

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, look, so much of pawn is performative, right,

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 4>and I think a lot of us can see through

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 4>that now, Like so, I never want what I'm actually

0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:28.400
<v Speaker 4>creating to be performative. So that's why, like I don't

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 4>think I could do it as a job, right because

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.439
<v Speaker 4>like I can't. I can't just like get up and

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 4>be like, oh, I've got to do an audio today

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 4>and just like belt it out, like I have to

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:41.239
<v Speaker 4>be in the mood. I have to be inspired, so

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 4>and I always want to be honest to that. Like, so, yeah,

0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.240
<v Speaker 4>I try to not be performative at all. There's some

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 4>out there that I definitely are there be more organized

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 4>and have to be a bit more structured about Like

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 4>I did a Choose your Own Adventure one which was

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 4>like like like four or five hours of recording. Like

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.199
<v Speaker 4>I have a like a pell mic, so I'll just

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 4>like you know, attached to the pel mic to my

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 4>phone and no I can kind of go anywhere.

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.000

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:33.120

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 3>babyy Suki stack House. She lives in this Louisiana small

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 3>rinky dink town. But in this reality it's based in

0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:00.680
<v Speaker 3>our world, there are vampires, and vampires are known. They're

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:03.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of like the stain on society. They're trying their

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 3>very hardest to integrate and be seen as equals, but

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 3>people are not happy. They're fearful of them. They don't

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:14.480
<v Speaker 3>understand how they're meant to integrate with vampires because humans

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 3>are vampires natural prey and as a I guess, as

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 3>a technique to give humans the illusion that vampires will

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 3>not drink their blood for sustenance, the Vampire Corporation, the

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Vampire Regulation made this drink called true blood, which is

0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 3>like synthesized blood that vampires can drink instead of drinking

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 3>human blood. So they're like, look, we don't even need

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:38.800
<v Speaker 3>to drink you guys anymore. We have this blood. The

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 3>point is the show I wouldn't even recommend it, like

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.640
<v Speaker 3>I would not recommend it unless you love vampires, because honestly,

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 3>the acting after season four and it's still kind of shoddy. Like, look,

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 3>it feels like the kind of show that was in

0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 3>like the depths of cable TV. But anyway, the acting

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 3>is so bad, but the storylines are so and the

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.439
<v Speaker 3>world building is amazing, and I think it's super awesome

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 3>how someone's managed to create a whole fictional series with

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 3>real almost like reflecting like current human problems, but in

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 3>the context of humans and vampires, like thinking about like genocide, eugenics,

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 3>social norms, social hierarchies, how everybody is progressive until they

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 3>feel as that they need to give up some of

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 3>their creature comforts to allow the lesser or the minority

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 3>to share that space. It's pretty fantastic. But what I've

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.639
<v Speaker 3>been thinking about the most is how can I invest

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 3>so much time to something that I knowingly think is

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:39.399
<v Speaker 3>not that good, Like I'm like, something about this is

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 3>so off, Like I watched it and I'm like it's

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:43.679
<v Speaker 3>giving me a little bit of like a tinge, Like

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 3>my left eye is squinting because I'm like, why why

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 3>didn't we reshoot that scene? Do you think she really

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 3>nailed that. Some of the scenes, the main actress, Anna

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Paquin is crying, but I'm like, babes, your brows have

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:58.639
<v Speaker 3>not even furrowed, Like, what is going on? Why do

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.919
<v Speaker 3>you have no forehead? Friends while you're wailing? Anyway, everone watch.

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>True Blood le you think about it, this is flex

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and frooms on KEDA.

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 3>Guess what I have some bad news and some good news.

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 3>The good news is I was doing some research. I

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 3>was trying to figure out the biological, physiological reason why

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 3>we get annoyed. Did I find out why? Kind of yes, not.

0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 3>The Internet told me annoyance is one of the most

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:35.680
<v Speaker 3>widely experienced human emotions, but the least studied. We don't

0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 3>know why we feel annoyance. What is that every day

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 3>you keep digging in the ocean, you keep getting telescopes

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 3>to go to space, and you can't figure out why

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 3>almost eight billion people feel annoyed?

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Wait, is there only eight billion people in the world. Yeah,

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:57.600
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of pus, like eight billion people in China.

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Huh two one billion in China. Yeah, pardon me, pardon me.

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Very frustrating. And then I was like, okay, so what

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 3>is annoyance then? Like if we have to isolate it

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 3>because I'm like, I'm gonna figure it out myself. If

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 3>the scientists won't do it, I will just literally. So

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 3>then I came across this thing that psychologists use called

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:22.960
<v Speaker 3>the emotion wheel, and it is basically like a pie

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 3>chart that's segmented into all these little tiny sections, and

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:30.719
<v Speaker 3>it seeks to explain to us how our emotions can

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 3>be described in a very simple way, and then if

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 3>we unpack it a little bit further, what are offshoots

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 3>of said emotion. And so, for example, if happiness is

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.440
<v Speaker 3>an emotion that people say they feel like, I feel happy,

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:46.159
<v Speaker 3>if you unpack that further, you could be saying that

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, you feel cared for, or you feel grateful,

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 3>or you feel excited, but you don't necessarily have the

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 3>vocabulary to express it that far, so you just go

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 3>with I'm happy. Maybe you would say I am scared,

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 3>but in reality you just feel a bit anxious or

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:05.360
<v Speaker 3>confused or overwhelmed or powerless. In this instance, they say

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:09.920
<v Speaker 3>that anger or annoyance is just low level anger. It's

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:13.159
<v Speaker 3>in the same family. If it was more amplified, it

0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.360
<v Speaker 3>would be full on, like I'm so pissed off but

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 3>really it's just low level that isn't enough for me, though,

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 3>I need to understand if I'm talking however, bajillion years ago,

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 3>it's me and the dinosaurs m cave hormen picking berries.

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 3>In what world am I feeling annoyed? Why?

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:34.520
<v Speaker 5>So?

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm feeling like I'm gonna have to do some outreach myself,

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 3>find some you know, UOW University's UW, I don't know

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:44.880
<v Speaker 3>what do you call these universities? University of Western Sydney,

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 3>University of Woollongong. Let me get a university in Brisbane.

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 3>Let's yes, let's do our own research. I need to

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 3>figure out this year.

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Max, I reckon if we tried, if we were like

0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.000
<v Speaker 2>we're doing to call out, we need one university to

0:28:58.040 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 2>work with us on this study. Yeah, will promote your

0:29:00.760 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 2>university if you do it with us, they'd be actually

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 2>snapping at our heels.

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, A, my.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Tea can't stop calling me about some other stuff.

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh call me redirect your energy, call that by name.

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 3>But this is the thing, right, So when I was

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 3>doing research, we can figure out what annoys us, we

0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 3>can't figure out why it annoys us. We need to

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 3>figure out that out today, dreaming, for example, the signists like,

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 3>we don't know why we dream, babes, I already know this.

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 3>I've explained to you. Every time you go to bed

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 3>and do dreams, you're living an alternate reality that's just

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:34.520
<v Speaker 3>as important as this one, but we don't have the

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 3>brain capacity to unlock it fully. You've seen that movie

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 3>with Bradley Cooper, No Limitless.

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:42.479
<v Speaker 2>What's you with all the movie references today?

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 3>What are you talking about?

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 2>But I totally agree, and I think, why do we

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 2>think that dreams are any less important than life? Because

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 2>life ends anyway? Oh wait, you lost me.
