WEBVTT - Texts You Can Send Instead Of Ghosting! 👻

0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>On Flex and Frooms.

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Flex and Frooms. This is the Flex and Frooms catch

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 2>up podcast, Happy Monday. Oh my god. Today we chatted

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 2>about we really need to ask Mickey to get the

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 2>grab of what I mean. Oh my god, I just took.

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, can fine people have some kind of like audio recognition?

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.479
<v Speaker 1>AI think they need it just for that use to them.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Today we're talking about Daniel Ricardo erotic fan fiction. I'm

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>not adding fuels to the fire. We're just talking about

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>it more on a conceptual level. And also Braxton Hicks contractions.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Did I have them? Yes?

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Allegedly it no, allegedly. Let's go Flex and Rooms On Kata.

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>We have to discuss ghosting in a fresh and fun

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>way because it's been spoken about to death. As someone

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>who has said on record before they are pro ghosting,

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 1>it's been a controversial take. I've elaborated far too many

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.639
<v Speaker 1>times to get into it currently, but my point is

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that often people aren't open communicators anyway, and so to

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 1>tell them the reasons why you don't want to beat

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>it be with them usually start a second wave of conversation.

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to have Granted, I've revised my efforts

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm into soft ghosting, which is just weaning somebody

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>off you delicately. But it came across as TikTok from

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a creator called quit Underscore dating Underscore Idiots, who has

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>supplied us with four tried and tested texts you can

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 1>send without ghosting. I think it's a first step. I

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, though, because part of me thinks everyone's like,

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>let's be authentic. Let's be authentic. What's less authentic than

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>copying and pasting text messages that somebody else has prepared

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>so you can send them to the next person you

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>want to ghost.

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know you're really coming for the authenticity laughter.

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>It's boring anyway. The first one if you want to

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>cancel a date. Hey, I know this is not a

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>great message to send or receive, especially given the timing,

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 1>But as tomorrow approaches, I've realized I'm not really feeling

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>up to our meat. I've enjoyed chatting to you, and

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you seem like a really decent guy, so I don't

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>want to mess you about by giving you a lame excuse.

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I hope you understand hate it. The next one you

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>like them, but they're noncommittal. Hey, it's been fun getting

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to know you over these past months, but I get

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the sense we're not on the same page in terms

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>of what we're wanting. I want a man who wants

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>a relationship with me, and I don't think that's you.

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>No hard feelings, take care and all the best with everything,

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>babes not me. Literally, yes, I feel like, wait, this

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>one's so sorry everyone, I'm reading our first text messages.

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 2>How crazy is that? That?

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Literally?

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Like that is pretty much verbat of mine.

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>This is to be a woman, to be a woman.

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Guys.

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>It worked, It also worked, but it yeah, have redacted

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the third one. Connections fizzled out. Hey, it seems our

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.959
<v Speaker 1>conversation has reached its natural conclusion. But I wanted to

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 1>say goodbye before disappearing. I've enjoyed chatting with you. Good

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>luck and all the best.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>That's nice.

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>That's my favorite thus far. I could change a few

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.119
<v Speaker 1>words here and there, but add your flavor to these ones.

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Such your flavor and this is if you're not feeling

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>a post date, Hey, I've really we're getting to know

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you a little. Unfortunately, I don't think we've been compatible

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>long term, and I don't want to waste either our

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>time exploring is connection further all the best with everything,

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.279
<v Speaker 1>and good luck on your quest. The worst one, absolutely,

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>good luck on your quest. I like that.

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Is this a game to you? It's very much like

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 2>ruin Escape coded. Absolutely, I think i'd like that last one.

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.239
<v Speaker 2>I think the ending is a bit like it's a

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit condescending in part.

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, However, it's a two paragraph text. We meet in parts.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, like when you're doing dating text, every single word counts.

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's an essay in my opinion, I hope that.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Works for someone. I think I'm making the right step

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>by disseminating this information.

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I think we should put on our Instagram like a

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>carousel of each one of those who people can refer

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>back to it. Let's ask our social media icons. As

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>the years go on, or rather the months or the weeks,

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>us two girlies become more and more invested in sports.

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, you're definitely flex leading the chart.

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I've made some developments. Everyone, Rugby, Rugby everyone, The Rugby

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Bold Cup is happening in real time, and I'm telling

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you I want to put this on record as of today,

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the twenty fifth of September, and say it's the most

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>rubin in of all the sports I've watched, that's far.

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is about it.

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I've never watched it, but I have reservations, like it's

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>not exciting to me. Yeah, I don't like the idea

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 2>of people running into each other.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>It happened in all sports. Soccer is way more contact

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>based than I really thought it was gonna be football. Everyone,

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry we digress.

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, Guys say just sort of say. When the Drive

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to Survive, like f one Netflix series came out.

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>I missed that.

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I know that was a moment. I didn't watch it,

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 2>but everyone's talking about Daniel Ricardo, Daniel Riccardo. Of course,

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I became naturally a massive fan of Daniel Ricardo, of

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>his work.

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Of course, there was just this.

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Funny nature about Daniel Ricardo that really piqued my interests.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.119
<v Speaker 2>I find him very funny, Like you know the people

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 2>that just do something.

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You're like, it's that classic hot and quirky combo. Yeah,

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 1>but when you get it, you get it.

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>It's insane. Anyway, I came across this article in foxsports

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>dot com dot au about this erotic fiction that somebody

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>wrote about Daniel Ricardo, and it's called fire, Overtake in

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>my mind, overtake my heart, thick Rick races for Love,

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>so essentially thick Rick being Daniel Ricardo. The image on

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the front is him in a very jacked kind of

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>like AI type. Anyway, on a podcast, he was on

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the one of the hosts, hold on, let me get it.

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 2>So he was on a podcast with Dak Shepherd. He's

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 2>like that armchair expert guy called f one with DRS podcast.

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Never heard of it in my life. That all sounds

0:05:58.960 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>like gibberish.

0:05:59.560 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>However, it is what it is. And they asked him like, oh,

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:04.359
<v Speaker 2>what do you think of this? And he thought it

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>was a joke, but then originally no, but then he

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a joke, but then it came out

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>that it is true, and he's thinking, what the hell?

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 2>At least I look jacked. But it got me thinking,

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>how would you react if somebody created an erotic fiction

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.040
<v Speaker 2>novel of you? Like, personally, I couldn't handle that tears

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 2>of joy.

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>Seriously, you know how hard it is to write. You're aware,

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 1>you know how hard it is to write in a

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>way that is concise but sexy, and there's like a

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 1>storyline but it's based on a real person, so you

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>really have to capture their essence and immortalize them on

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>paper for me on a screen. I love that you

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>would like that. I think it's the height of celebrity.

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Huge.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't have fan fictions, erotic literature written about you,

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and you think you're a celeb. I think again.

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I guess like it just makes me think that people

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>think of this person sexually, which I'd rather not know why.

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, is that sex shaming makes you feel uncomfortable? Hm?

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>But what can I say to each their own I

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>just rather would like to think that it never happened,

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>there were more through.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Me being there. I just wish they just keep it

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to themselves, keep it behind closed or I don't care

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>what you do in your own homes. There are children

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>out here and they don't need to see that going

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>out through. That's exactly what that was giving.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>I like the idea of sexlessness when it comes to

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>anything to do with me, particularly and others.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Tech Time, tech Time, tech Time, it's tech time with

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>flex and prooms on kit. Put it to the next

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>level where we give you the best and the latest

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>gossip in tech. As we do so well, people who

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>aren't in the tech industry. I think it's very important

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that we bridge the gap between scientists and civilian I

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>would say.

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's not done well, however, on your on your healf,

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>you bring it to the table.

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you. I've been having this thought recently that

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>our inability to tell human behavior from AI behavior is

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>going to cause more problems than me think I spoke about.

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I touched briefly on Snapchat's AI glitching a

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago, but we've got more information about

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>what actually went down. So Snapchat have this AI chatbot function.

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>It's essentially this digital thing that you can talk to

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and it'll talk to you back, and the more you

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to it, the more it talks to you back.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>It's quite simple. But recently it posted a story on

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Snapchat of what appeared to be like a wall, so

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of like that line of demarcation between like a

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>ceiling and a wall, so pretty like indiscernible, but that's

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>what it was. And immediately I remember the day it happened,

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Josh who records who video records all of our footage

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>came and said, did you see what the snapchat bot posted?

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I didn't see it, and I was like,

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>can you show Me's like, no, it's disappeared now and

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the bot's not responding to anybody's comment or questions, and

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.959
<v Speaker 1>it's gone offline. But something's happened, and I said, okay,

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>give me information if you can. And so what had

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>happened was just a glitch, a simple glitch. The company

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>came out and said they had to put the whole

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 1>thing down to a temporary outage, and that's all that

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>it was. My issue is before Snapchat came out and

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.839
<v Speaker 1>made a statement, no more than a day later, it

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>immediately went viral on TikTok. People do in comparisons between

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>a photo of their wall and a photo of what

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>this bot took and what is the bot trying to communicate?

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it gaining sentients? Why would it say this? What

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>time did it post? Is it trying to send us

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 1>a message? And people are out here trying to decode

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>what this bot meant, and very few said, well, maybe

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>it was just a glitch, Maybe just wasn't meant to

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>be there, Maybe it was an accident. And I think

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.599
<v Speaker 1>it's really scary that a lot of us are participating

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>in these conversations about you know, like what's going to

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 1>be the future of AI. AI is going to take over,

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think before AI takes over, we're going to

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.880
<v Speaker 1>give it power by trying to assign meanings to everything

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 1>it does or does not do. There's this thing that

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>AI does often it's called hallucinating, where it kind of

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like it's this it's this margin of error it has,

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Like for chat GPT it's five percent. So chat GPT

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>is ninety five percent quote unquote accurate, and there's a

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>five percent margin of err where it could just make

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff up. Now, five percent is a lot when it

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>comes to all the information in the entirely galaxy, and

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>we're relying on this bot to be on it every

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>single time, so much so that we're not pausing to say, well,

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>what if it's wrong, right, yeah, what if it's just wrong?

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And then what happens? Who cares? Because by the time

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>we figured out that it's wrong, the narrative is, well,

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>there was a snapchat bot and now it's getting sentience

0:10:58.559 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and it posted a picture of a wall, and that

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:06.160
<v Speaker 1>story we're going with. So I worry everyone are No

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to worry is fine because I'm down for the AI

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>next generation. But part of what I wanted to touch

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 1>on or to end with, sorry, is this concept called anthropomorphism,

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's when you attribute human characteristics to animals or objects. Right,

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>So we see two windows and a line, and we say, oh,

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>that the building is smiling, and that we don't check

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>ourselves enough when we do that, when we apply human

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>behavior to things that aren't human and so not a warning,

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:41.439
<v Speaker 1>not a cautionary tale, just something that humans do. Sometimes

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>things are a mistake, sometimes they're a tech error. Sometimes

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the AI isn't sending us a secret message, but sometimes

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it is.

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>And that is that is the uncertainty paradox. Yes, a

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 2>word I've just made up, but I like it.

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I like that anyway. Good luck everyone, babes. I've been

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>going through it so many life experiences. Right now, I'm

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:08.319
<v Speaker 1>holding down a period cramp, so siffy. Really, I cannot

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>explain to you. I'm literally doing mental gymnastics right now.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I think my eye is gonna start twitching. Alas, I

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>had what I could only refer to as a Braxen

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Hicks contraction, because are the only contractions that I know of.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Am I pregnant? No? Was I pregnant when this happened. No,

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>what is a brax and Hicks? I don't know, babe,

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's just when when people are in labor and

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 1>they say I'm having a brax and Hicks contraction, you

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>must count minutes in between each contraction so you know

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>whether you're ready to go or not.

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm googling. Here's what I can tell you. It's false labor.

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.439
<v Speaker 2>Brax and Hicks is contractions. No, it's practice contractions or

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 2>false labor. It sporadically uterine contractions that start six weeks

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 2>into a pregnancy. Oh, but they also felt in the

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 2>second or third dRIT mystery pregnancy by a pregnant.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I've got my period.

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Okakay.

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, this happened like a couple of weeks ago. Here's

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>what I can say to you. That day, the only

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>rigorous activity I did was play darts.

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 1>And the only reason why I say this is because

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I had just come off the back of like two

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>hours of darts, and I don't I didn't feel strenuous

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>or intensive. But I got home and I laid down.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>This is no hanky panky, babe. I laid down on

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>my side. I was scrolling as I was reading a book,

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I got up huh, laying on my side scrolling reading

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>like I read on my phone. Oh okay, well sorry,

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that was very cyok. I get up to get my food.

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I ordered in food, and like as soon as I

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>had like swung my legs off the bed propelled myself up,

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I keeled forward. I was like, ah oh, and I

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>was like, what is that? What is that? I was

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 1>shocked And so now I'm killed forward in a C shape,

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>but my back is concave and I cannot outstretch my

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 1>back without it feeling like I'm pulling my stomach muscles up. Babes,

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I tried one big pull and it's like I snapped

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>back forward and just started bawling my eyes out. And

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like a recreational cryer like that. I'm a

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 1>big like suppress suppress. I was. Now I'm keeled over,

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know what I'm doing. Then I go

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and sit down on the couch. At this point, the

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 1>food who knows where it is. I'm sitting on the

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>couch slowly trying to like stretch my stomach muscles out

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>so I can lie down backwards and then almost like

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>keep my body in a tense motion, so I don't

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>move and thus trigger another. Whatever this contraction was, it

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>felt like a combination, like when I had my whole

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>body stretched out, so my whole body's taught like a

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>little sardine. It was like a dull, thumping pain all

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>around the abdomen right, mostly like the higher one. And

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>then when I keeled forward, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing.

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>It was the most bizarre thing. At one point I

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>was lying back and all I could feel was like

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 1>this steady stream tears rolling down my face. It would

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>not stop. It's rolling down my cheeks to my neck.

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>The collar of my shirt is so what I was like,

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Babes is nothing like it. It's nothing like it. Then

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, let me take some europhin. I

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 1>take some europhin or panel or whatever it was. It

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 1>was gone with in thirty minutes. I said, this is confusing.

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So the pain that I was feeling, how can you

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>tell me the modern medicine fix it? In thirty minutes,

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd know what happened. To this day, I don't understand

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 1>what happened, but it's had me paring it about side

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 1>sleeping and paring it about darts.

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 2>We should get onto what that was. Let's call it doctrine.

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I've always wondered, why do people from nay, fifty years

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.120
<v Speaker 2>ago look so damn old in these photos? It's giving

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>crusty from dare I say? And it turns out I'm

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 2>not the only one. Cue the TikTok.

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 3>The age of eighteen, Coral seek and looked like a teenager.

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 3>But it doesn't take long in an old high school

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:12.600
<v Speaker 3>yearbook to find teenagers who look surprisingly old. These people are.

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>All in their twenties, but so are these people.

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 3>This is Elizabeth Taylor when she was just seventeen, and

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 3>here are some high school students from the seventies.

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Did people used to look older?

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Brandon McCarthy asked on Twitter, and evidence poured in. People

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 4>shared photos of their parents in their early twenties, their

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 4>dad at twenty one.

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Every Father's Day, everybody like will bring out the part

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 2>of the one time their dad was hot.

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah weird, it's so weird you participated.

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh I just didn't d show you how oh my dad?

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 2>But it was suer today. This is what I look like.

0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 2>But again, it was giving crusty and Dusty all those

0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I think the phenomena. I'm sure the video

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 2>goes on to explain it, but I think we can

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 2>come to our own, oh to conclusion, susus. Their hairstyles

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 2>were different, there was no cosmetic interventions. And also, like

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 2>people's timeline was different. So when you were eighteen, you

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 2>were halfway through your life, you know, back when we

0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:15.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't have like medicine.

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, you had me for a second, you lost me.

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>So we're saying that lifestyle prematurely ages you. But mums today,

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>forty year old moms today look twenty eighth, and forty

0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>year old moms then look seventy five. Yeah, it is

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 1>a theory in itself that preventative measures make us seeing younger.

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.919
<v Speaker 1>And maybe it's a diet, and maybe it's all of

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>these things, but that contradicts the idea that back in

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the days was a healthier lifestyle we're getting now. Maybe

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>sun exposure, Oden Layer, Yeah, yeah, it's the sun. Do

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I need to elaborate?

0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 2>No, that's on that. That's on that.

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.879
<v Speaker 1>You've been listening to the Flex and Frums Daily podcast.
