Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Okay, it same, it's Harps, it's Patrick and Tiffany. I've
- 0:04Speaker 1: been told off nine times on my own fucking show
- 0:08Speaker 1: in the first five minutes. This is the third time
- 0:11Speaker 1: I've started a recording because apparently I overmodulate. Well, I
- 0:15Speaker 1: think Patrick fucking undermodulates and look at the results he produces,
- 0:19Speaker 1: so I think over modulation is the way to go.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Tis been insulted two times, as she's called a cat
- 0:27Speaker 1: a little fuckstick nine times. Patrick's trying to make me
- 0:32Speaker 1: more technically capable. None of it's working. It's been a
- 0:35Speaker 1: shit fest. Thanks for listening. We'll see you next time.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Over and out. Patrick, Do you think that there's any
- 0:44Speaker 1: chance that you could mold me into what you need
- 0:47Speaker 1: me to be like? Because I'm just born to fit
- 0:53Speaker 1: in for you.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I'm not a miracle worker. I'm just an engineer.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I'm just an engineer. Oh, that's funny. I do have
- 1:03Speaker 1: some inaptitude. Is that what you're saying straight into the
- 1:06Speaker 1: mic when I get excited?
- 1:07Speaker 2: No? Oh, okay, so we're talking about you getting hyper
- 1:11Speaker 2: excited every time the three of us are together, and
- 1:14Speaker 2: you just your volume goes up. See my pitch goes up,
- 1:17Speaker 2: and you always say that I'm a girl because I
- 1:20Speaker 2: get excited and my pitch goes up.
- 1:22Speaker 1: But you get nothing wrong with being a girl, Patrick.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Yeah, so your volume goes up and my inflections go higher,
- 1:29Speaker 2: but that's not a mad thing. It's great that we
- 1:31Speaker 2: get so excited with me together.
- 1:33Speaker 1: And I think it's great that we have such a
- 1:35Speaker 1: representation of you know people, because you're a boy pretty
- 1:41Speaker 1: much like like like you death, no sit down. Oh
- 1:48Speaker 1: my god, he's just going to show us mister snufflepagus,
- 1:53Speaker 1: fuck you hell, keep that shit. Yeah, I would be
- 1:57Speaker 1: more offended than Tiff. Keep that well away. And then
- 2:00Speaker 1: there's Tiff. I mean, god, bless so hard to be
- 2:04Speaker 1: a girl?
- 2:05Speaker 2: Have you.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Do you own a dress? We were joking before we
- 2:09Speaker 1: went live, like a dress there.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Are there are a few dresses in my cupboard that
- 2:16Speaker 3: have not had a run for a very long time.
- 2:17Speaker 3: I have to wear a dress in Cairns next month.
- 2:21Speaker 3: I'm not happy about it.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Why do you have to wear a dress? Like do
- 2:25Speaker 1: they determine? Oh, because you've got to do's.
- 2:28Speaker 3: A gala event at the end of the conference that.
- 2:32Speaker 1: You know in Australia that's known as that's that's in Australia.
- 2:35Speaker 1: It's a gala event, so go in feathers.
- 2:43Speaker 3: I might just do that.
- 2:45Speaker 2: You could do that, Kansas and hot and muggy. Wouldn't
- 2:49Speaker 2: it be better wearing a dress? Wouldn't it be more comfortable.
- 2:52Speaker 3: Well defined, comfortable mate.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Emotionally and mentally distressing for her physically? Perhaps?
- 3:01Speaker 2: I mean, could you do it?
- 3:03Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 3:03Speaker 2: Hybrid like? Were it killed instead?
- 3:06Speaker 3: I have pulled the jumpsuit card for as many times
- 3:10Speaker 3: as I can, just trying to get by with that.
- 3:14Speaker 1: It's funny. Patrick's got several of those. You girls could
- 3:17Speaker 1: get together and fucking just sort through and see what
- 3:19Speaker 1: looks good on you.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Hey, you know I wore I wore I went surfing
- 3:23Speaker 2: at the weekend and I put on my.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Hang on hang on, you went surfing?
- 3:29Speaker 2: Okay, well it wasn't quite so it was bottom. I
- 3:32Speaker 2: had a boogie board. Okay, that's still hitting the surf,
- 3:34Speaker 2: isn't it.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Okay, here's the most accurate you can be. I went
- 3:38Speaker 1: to the beach. We believe that, but hey, everyone, I
- 3:42Speaker 1: went to the beach.
- 3:43Speaker 2: The takeaway from that was that when I when I
- 3:47Speaker 2: left k Rock and Geelong, my going away gift was
- 3:50Speaker 2: a rip curl full piece of wet suit and I
- 3:53Speaker 2: dug it out of the cupboard and it fits. I
- 3:56Speaker 2: still fit into my thirty year old wetsuit. How good
- 3:59Speaker 2: is that?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Well, firstly, nobody goes to the beach and gets in
- 4:03Speaker 1: a wet suit. It's summer.
- 4:06Speaker 2: I know it's cold. It was span of water, mate,
- 4:08Speaker 2: it was a cold day.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Yeah, you're soft, bro. If have you ever served, No,
- 4:14Speaker 1: I haven't ever served. You'd probably be good at it
- 4:17Speaker 1: because you're annoyingly fucking athletic.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Better than me.
- 4:23Speaker 1: My first mate, Patrick will just be on the beach
- 4:26Speaker 1: eating sandwiches together, holding hands.
- 4:28Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what it's great for washing out
- 4:30Speaker 2: your sinuses when you get dumped that salt water in
- 4:34Speaker 2: the mouth, through the nose, out the nostrils. Yep.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I should have tried that three years ago for my ears.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I might have avoided three years of ear turmoil. Anyway, Well,
- 4:47Speaker 1: welcome Patrick. We do love you, and if we do
- 4:50Speaker 1: love you, please send a photos of you in address.
- 4:54Speaker 1: If that doesn't get traction in typ Land, put that
- 4:58Speaker 1: up in the group me or Tiff, both of you
- 5:04Speaker 1: do you know what, I'm sure everyone would love to
- 5:06Speaker 1: see you in a dress as well, or as you
- 5:08Speaker 1: call it, Tuesday, I.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Tell you that I actually once went to a drag
- 5:16Speaker 2: party and shocked up in address no no once. I
- 5:19Speaker 2: lived at it once. So it was a closed party.
- 5:22Speaker 2: It wasn't a public thing. And should I tell the story.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I don't think you need to mention closed. I think
- 5:30Speaker 1: we realized when you go to a party, it's not
- 5:33Speaker 1: a fucking public event. True. Where was it? I was
- 5:36Speaker 1: in the city square? Okay, just me and nine thousand
- 5:40Speaker 1: other people. All right, So you went to this this
- 5:44Speaker 1: closed event. Tell us about it.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Well, the theme was drag, and so I thought, wow,
- 5:49Speaker 2: if I'm going to go as just any old drag,
- 5:52Speaker 2: I'm going to go as a queen. The queen. So
- 5:55Speaker 2: a friend of mine had a girlfriend who was coming,
- 5:57Speaker 2: and she was a makeup artist. So she spent over
- 6:00Speaker 2: an hour in the chair, had a wig and everything,
- 6:03Speaker 2: and of course I couldn't see what she was doing.
- 6:06Speaker 2: And then when she finished, she got the mirror out
- 6:10Speaker 2: and I was looking at Queen Elizabeth. It was amazing,
- 6:13Speaker 2: like it was the most phenomenal transformation. And then the
- 6:17Speaker 2: whole night I just walked around with the handbag pul
- 6:20Speaker 2: necklace on behalf of my husband to day. It gave
- 6:23Speaker 2: me great pleasure to be there and I just spoke
- 6:26Speaker 2: like that for the whole evening. It was great.
- 6:29Speaker 1: I want you to do the whole podcast and that
- 6:35Speaker 1: can I just mention old firstly, Patrick, sorry I cut
- 6:39Speaker 1: you short a bit, good story. And also I could
- 6:42Speaker 1: see you I was going to say pulling off the queen.
- 6:46Speaker 1: As that came into my little filter that I have
- 6:49Speaker 1: in my brain, I'm thinking, I'm not sure that that's
- 6:53Speaker 1: the best term, but let me say impersonating the queen
- 6:59Speaker 1: rather than then the other option. I could see you
- 7:03Speaker 1: doing that quite well. If I just want to mention
- 7:06Speaker 1: before we actually do what Patrick's meant to do, which
- 7:10Speaker 1: is share stuff of a technical nature, technological nature. I
- 7:16Speaker 1: noticed before the show that every time you talk about
- 7:19Speaker 1: your cat, the word fucking is associated to it. Patrick,
- 7:24Speaker 1: have you know she had my fucking cat?
- 7:27Speaker 3: Because I shut the door, I'm like, cool, I'll shut
- 7:31Speaker 3: shut the door, and next minute minute from under the.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Desk, I'm like, where the fuck.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Were you you go? I could have said something so
- 7:41Speaker 1: funny then, but I can't go on, so I can't.
- 7:48Speaker 1: It's no it's two years eight, all right, Patrick, Welcome
- 7:52Speaker 1: to the show officially, Why don't you start with whatever
- 7:56Speaker 1: story you want to start with. Then I'm going to
- 7:58Speaker 1: read as going to say patronizingly, your little list. See
- 8:04Speaker 1: I've got myself. Well I didn't mean it like that,
- 8:06Speaker 1: but in my head, your little list, And then I thought, no,
- 8:09Speaker 1: that's not very respectful, it's quite patronizing. So I'll read
- 8:13Speaker 1: your big list while you're yacking to us and think
- 8:15Speaker 1: about what's up next. So what do you want to
- 8:18Speaker 1: lead off with? What's got your attention this week?
- 8:20Speaker 2: Can I just get something off my chest? Because I've
- 8:23Speaker 2: been annoyed this week. So every time I've opened a pdf,
- 8:27Speaker 2: my Adobe pdf reader says, this appears to be a
- 8:32Speaker 2: long document. Save time by reading a summary by an
- 8:36Speaker 2: AI assistant, And It's like, fuck off, I'm going to
- 8:40Speaker 2: read the whole bloody thing. Don't tell me what the
- 8:42Speaker 2: best part of this bloody pdf is. I'll decide what
- 8:46Speaker 2: the best part of this pdf. Adobe. Stop it. Stop
- 8:49Speaker 2: telling me you're going to summarize my bloody article. Stop
- 8:52Speaker 2: telling me that I don't need to read it, Like,
- 8:54Speaker 2: what the hell? I want to use my brain? Sorry,
- 8:57Speaker 2: now I've got it off my chest. Thank you.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Wow, that is spoken authorized by pissed up Patrick Ja
- 9:04Speaker 1: mayor of Banella, is just Banillo. I don't know. I
- 9:08Speaker 1: don't open too many PDFs, but oh I do a few,
- 9:11Speaker 1: but maybe, but I get shit coming up all the
- 9:15Speaker 1: time in that going Hey, use this or we can
- 9:17Speaker 1: summarize that for you and would you like to? Yeah,
- 9:20Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I think you just got I mean,
- 9:22Speaker 1: that's not going away. That's only going to get more prevalent,
- 9:27Speaker 1: I would think, And I'm just like, nah, I'm good. Thanks.
- 9:29Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. I think navigating from an
- 9:35Speaker 1: emotional and a mental health point of view, for us
- 9:37Speaker 1: as individuals, navigating the AI landscape without getting sucked into
- 9:41Speaker 1: it and becoming a non thinking, unaware, fucking cyborg in
- 9:47Speaker 1: its orbit is a real responsibility.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right. And it's interesting because last time
- 9:57Speaker 2: we did a podcast and occasionally we ask listeners for feedback,
- 10:00Speaker 2: and in fact, we've had two lots of listeners contact
- 10:03Speaker 2: us during the week. One is Mark Keo.
- 10:06Speaker 3: So.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Mark is a trainer and does first aid training in
- 10:09Speaker 2: Western Australia. Really nice guy and he was Hey Mark,
- 10:13Speaker 2: Hey Mark, great, glad you listened to the show.
- 10:16Speaker 1: He drives Tiff doesn't want you here, clearly because she
- 10:19Speaker 1: said so from Patrick. So from Patrick and I Mark,
- 10:24Speaker 1: we alpha males love you Tiff not so much.
- 10:29Speaker 2: No, yeah, yeah. Evidently he spends a lot of time
- 10:34Speaker 2: on the road in his car, so he has very
- 10:36Speaker 2: little options but to listen to.
- 10:38Speaker 1: But I'm sure there's a few I'm sure there's a
- 10:44Speaker 1: few other things available on the interwebs.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Nothing but than top.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Yep, go and tell us about Mark.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Well, he was saying that he was listening to an
- 10:53Speaker 2: episode of Rogan and Musk, and Elon Musk has been
- 10:57Speaker 2: quoted as saying that within five to six years that
- 11:00Speaker 2: phones will not have any apps on them, and AI
- 11:05Speaker 2: will predict what it is you want to do and
- 11:08Speaker 2: serve it up. So I was thinking, as I was
- 11:11Speaker 2: getting annoyed at Adobe my PDF reader, that would be
- 11:14Speaker 2: the worst possible case scenario to have my phone through
- 11:18Speaker 2: AI decide what I want. And I just thought it
- 11:22Speaker 2: was quite an interesting reference that Mark made to the
- 11:26Speaker 2: fact that AI is just absolutely taking over our damn lives.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I don't disagree with you, but why does that predictive
- 11:36Speaker 1: kind of thing about what you want to know? Why
- 11:38Speaker 1: does that bother you?
- 11:40Speaker 2: So much because it takes the decision making process out
- 11:44Speaker 2: of my hands. There's got to be a point.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Does it though? Does it? Can't you just go no,
- 11:49Speaker 1: I don't want you to do that.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Well, he's said. What he's saying is there won't be
- 11:54Speaker 2: any apps on your phone. You turn your phone on,
- 11:56Speaker 2: there are no apps.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Here's my here's my will. I will bet one million
- 12:01Speaker 1: dollars in six years. There are apps one?
- 12:04Speaker 2: Okay, TI, if you're writing that down right, yep, I
- 12:06Speaker 2: saw you're writing it down. Yeah.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Ye.
- 12:08Speaker 2: He's calling them edge nodes, and so you'll skip the
- 12:12Speaker 2: manual app when you're navigating, and the edge nodes will
- 12:15Speaker 2: just do whatever it is you're thinking. You think you
- 12:18Speaker 2: need to do, or he thinks you need to do.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I think the only problem is Elon didn't agree to
- 12:23Speaker 1: my bets. So unless you want it, you two want
- 12:25Speaker 1: to go in Harvey's and give me half a million each? Yeah?
- 12:28Speaker 1: No tips out, just giving me the big wave off.
- 12:31Speaker 1: And also let's just get through our listeners. By the way,
- 12:34Speaker 1: if you want to send send fuck it, send it
- 12:38Speaker 1: to Patrick. Yeah, what's your email? Ag don't send them
- 12:43Speaker 1: to me? No. I love you though, but I'm not
- 12:46Speaker 1: the tech answering, dude, what's your email again? Mate?
- 12:49Speaker 2: I just just go to websites now, dot com dot
- 12:51Speaker 2: au and then you can fill out the contact form
- 12:54Speaker 2: and just all right you want to ask, Yeah.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Tell us about MAXI young, Maxwell, Peggy who and you something?
- 13:01Speaker 4: I know.
- 13:01Speaker 2: We've had two interactive kind of questions in relation to AI,
- 13:06Speaker 2: and I guess the one that Maxwell high Maxwell. This
- 13:10Speaker 2: is where you say, Hi Maxwell, or do you hate
- 13:11Speaker 2: him as well?
- 13:13Speaker 1: Hell? What is wrong with you? Fucking It's not all
- 13:16Speaker 1: about you, you reckon. You can pay attention to the
- 13:19Speaker 1: show for one and like be like you're actually part
- 13:23Speaker 1: of the fucking crew here. You're not meant to be
- 13:26Speaker 1: fucking looking at your computer like you're some person in
- 13:30Speaker 1: the background just fucking editing.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Hi Maxwell, I hope you're really well.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Fucking Hell, I don't think he bought it.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Go on Patrick Well to quote Maxwell AI fuck terrifying. Yes, yes,
- 13:47Speaker 2: nice quote. I like that. So basically, the question he's
- 13:51Speaker 2: asking is who controls digital reality? Because when you think
- 13:54Speaker 2: about it, it's only a very very small, massively massive
- 14:00Speaker 2: wealthy amount of tech companies that now control search, social media, messaging,
- 14:07Speaker 2: video consumption, digital advertising. Because you think about it. Now,
- 14:11Speaker 2: more than fifty percent of all the content that we're
- 14:13Speaker 2: now seeing online is generated by AI and those algorithms
- 14:18Speaker 2: that we're looking at when we see a YouTube reel
- 14:22Speaker 2: and then another reel comes up because they want to
- 14:25Speaker 2: keep you on the app or social media. So the
- 14:27Speaker 2: reality of it is it's a very very small amount
- 14:30Speaker 2: of people who have this ridiculous amount of power. And
- 14:35Speaker 2: that's a frightening thought. And I know we've discussed this
- 14:37Speaker 2: before because we're talking trillion dollar companies, not million, not billion,
- 14:43Speaker 2: but trillion dollar companies that have so much power and
- 14:46Speaker 2: influence And where's the oversight you know we're trying. Of course,
- 14:50Speaker 2: on the tenth of December last year, we saw that
- 14:54Speaker 2: social media became restricted for under sixteens. Now, some smarter
- 14:58Speaker 2: under sixteens have got around that. Some parents have managed
- 15:02Speaker 2: to keep their kids on socials by basically, you know,
- 15:06Speaker 2: fudging the system and you know, making out of them
- 15:11Speaker 2: who has that social media. So you know, people have
- 15:14Speaker 2: got round the bands to a degree in Australia. And
- 15:17Speaker 2: it's controversial in itself too because I mean I'm kind
- 15:20Speaker 2: of digressing a little bit, but one of the articles
- 15:22Speaker 2: I was going to talk about today was young people
- 15:25Speaker 2: who are now feeling like they're exceptionally isolated because they've
- 15:30Speaker 2: lost all their friends in terms of being able to
- 15:33Speaker 2: interact on the likes of Snapchat and not being able
- 15:36Speaker 2: to contact friends. And you know, the tenth of December
- 15:38Speaker 2: was right at the end of the school right at
- 15:40Speaker 2: the start of the school holidays, and suddenly this blanket
- 15:43Speaker 2: band came out, And so if you were fourteen or fifteen,
- 15:47Speaker 2: then suddenly you weren't able to reconnect potentially with friends.
- 15:51Speaker 2: And if you had a disability, or you're from a
- 15:54Speaker 2: small kind of I guess community that was a little
- 15:58Speaker 2: bit fringe, and your friend were in other states and
- 16:01Speaker 2: other parts of you know, the country, then potentially you
- 16:05Speaker 2: could have lost contact because I know stacks of kids
- 16:07Speaker 2: that don't have numbers and phone numbers. They just interact
- 16:10Speaker 2: via Snapchat.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Okay, so I need an unequivocal, off the defence answer
- 16:15Speaker 1: from you. Do you think it should have happened or not?
- 16:19Speaker 1: Don't give me any nuance. I just want because it happened,
- 16:23Speaker 1: so it's done. Yes or no? From Patrick James Bonello.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Should it have happened? No? Okay, that's interesting. No, I
- 16:31Speaker 1: respect yours. I here's what I want to say though,
- 16:34Speaker 1: back to like you're going, okay, So there's all of
- 16:37Speaker 1: these these big companies with trillion dollar this and trillion
- 16:42Speaker 1: dollar that, and you are correct. I one hundred percent agree,
- 16:44Speaker 1: And they're they're kind of making the decisions about what
- 16:47Speaker 1: goes out into the world. Da da da. But what
- 16:49Speaker 1: they're not making decisions about is what we individually look at.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Yes they have some influence, of course, but I don't
- 16:57Speaker 1: need to I don't. I couldn't really explain to you
- 17:00Speaker 1: what snapchat is. I've never used it. There's a bunch
- 17:02Speaker 1: of things I haven't used. There's a bunch of things
- 17:05Speaker 1: I have. But you know, so what they are doing
- 17:07Speaker 1: is pushing more and more options and I guess available
- 17:13Speaker 1: whatever AI or things that we can interact with or
- 17:15Speaker 1: use for good and bad. But like we I think,
- 17:20Speaker 1: as a society, yes all of this is true, but
- 17:24Speaker 1: we keep acting like we have no personal sovereignty or power.
- 17:29Speaker 1: We are just puppets at the at the hands at
- 17:34Speaker 1: the mercy of these puppeteers with AI and this and that,
- 17:38Speaker 1: and we can't control our own feelings or reactions or
- 17:41Speaker 1: choices and our future as fucked, not because of anything.
- 17:45Speaker 1: I think that's complete bullshit. I think we every day
- 17:49Speaker 1: get to choose what we look at, what we interact with,
- 17:52Speaker 1: what we do, what we eat, whether or not we move,
- 17:55Speaker 1: what job we do. You know, It's like, there's so
- 17:58Speaker 1: much more to my future and my wellness and my
- 18:02Speaker 1: purpose and my health and my mental and emotional existence
- 18:07Speaker 1: to what these companies make available to me. And I
- 18:11Speaker 1: think everyone needs to And I'm not trying to be
- 18:13Speaker 1: too fucking philosophical, but it's like this large percentage of
- 18:19Speaker 1: the world to walking around going, oh, we're fucked, No
- 18:21Speaker 1: we're not. We're only fucked if you say we're fucked
- 18:24Speaker 1: and you let people control you, and you let nobody
- 18:28Speaker 1: can control your decisions. And can these things be addictive? Sure?
- 18:32Speaker 1: So are cigarette how many people don't smoke most, how
- 18:36Speaker 1: many people don't use severe or serious drugs most, how
- 18:40Speaker 1: many people are not alcoholics most? So we have a
- 18:44Speaker 1: level of individual responsibility to go, yes, all this shit
- 18:48Speaker 1: is happening, and as you say, mate, some of it's
- 18:51Speaker 1: fucking terrible, and maybe some of the decisions that have
- 18:53Speaker 1: been made shouldn't have happened and all that, but at
- 18:56Speaker 1: some stage we've still got to go. Yeah, but what
- 18:58Speaker 1: about you bro about you?
- 19:00Speaker 2: Yeah, we had this chat briefly in the last episode.
- 19:03Speaker 2: I won't rehash it because we're talking about people being overweight,
- 19:05Speaker 2: and obviously, you know, whatever you put in your mouth
- 19:08Speaker 2: is your decision ultimately. But what I guess, and I
- 19:12Speaker 2: agree with you and the reason that I said, and
- 19:14Speaker 2: I guess I'd like to know what either of you
- 19:16Speaker 2: think should we have had this band roll out to
- 19:19Speaker 2: under sixteen, Tiff, did you think the band is a
- 19:22Speaker 2: good thing or a bad thing or yet to know.
- 19:27Speaker 3: You're not a good thing?
- 19:29Speaker 2: Crago?
- 19:31Speaker 1: My honest opinion is I'm not sure because I just
- 19:34Speaker 1: haven't looked at it. I don't know, like I would
- 19:38Speaker 1: feel disingenuous making a comment on like I would need
- 19:42Speaker 1: to see some kind of evidence either way, not just
- 19:47Speaker 1: a conversation. But I know I asked you to do
- 19:51Speaker 1: the same thing. Okay, so I'm going to go my
- 19:53Speaker 1: gut says, probably doesn't. No, I just rationalized that roundback
- 19:58Speaker 1: to where I've asked you to do what I'm not
- 20:00Speaker 1: going to do, So get off your fucking fence.
- 20:02Speaker 3: You.
- 20:03Speaker 1: I nearly said the S word. Ah, I know, Craig
- 20:07Speaker 1: what did you think I was talking about.
- 20:09Speaker 2: That's a big in my language, Craig, and say.
- 20:14Speaker 1: That, look's I think probably it wouldn't. I don't know
- 20:23Speaker 1: that it's going to make a massive difference, So I
- 20:25Speaker 1: would be happy if it didn't happen. And I think
- 20:30Speaker 1: this stuff is hard, right because it's it's provocative, and
- 20:34Speaker 1: it arouses emotion in people, and once people are emotional,
- 20:38Speaker 1: they are less logical, they are less practical. And also,
- 20:42Speaker 1: most people about most topics of significance already have an opinion.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I'm not saying knowledge or data. I'm saying they have
- 20:51Speaker 1: an opinion, and very few people want to change their opinion.
- 20:55Speaker 1: And I think that in itself is a problem, not
- 20:58Speaker 1: that just to be able to be willing to go,
- 21:00Speaker 1: oh yeah, I think I got that wrong. Yeah, I
- 21:02Speaker 1: think I got that wrong. And I've gotten so many
- 21:05Speaker 1: fucking things wrong, even things that you and I have
- 21:08Speaker 1: argued about in this podcast. I'm sure I maybe now
- 21:12Speaker 1: share your idea, and but you just kind of OK.
- 21:17Speaker 1: I think being open minded but also curious is the
- 21:20Speaker 1: nice combination.
- 21:22Speaker 2: And you know the reality of it is, when you
- 21:24Speaker 2: impose a blanket ban, I realize what the essence of
- 21:28Speaker 2: the idea behind it is and that is to protect
- 21:32Speaker 2: children from you know, the onslaught of AI or the
- 21:36Speaker 2: onslaught of social media, and you know the terrible perils
- 21:40Speaker 2: there are online. And I want to protect kids as well.
- 21:44Speaker 2: But isn't it more empowering to educate and guide and
- 21:48Speaker 2: nurture and for parents to be proactive and teachers to
- 21:52Speaker 2: be proactive. And you know, we educate people. So you
- 21:55Speaker 2: know a lot of kids, you know, get told don't
- 21:58Speaker 2: touch that because you'll get burnt. Now, some kids are
- 22:01Speaker 2: going to touch it and get burnt and learn that
- 22:03Speaker 2: exercise and learn that lesson themselves, but a lot of
- 22:06Speaker 2: kids won't. If you sit down rationally and say this
- 22:09Speaker 2: is what's happening, and this is why you shouldn't do this,
- 22:12Speaker 2: then you know, you can have connected communities online and
- 22:15Speaker 2: kids won't be isolated if they want to be able
- 22:18Speaker 2: to engage with friends and people of their own age,
- 22:20Speaker 2: but now can't. So I think that once we have
- 22:23Speaker 2: a blanket ban, we're now enforcing something and it feels
- 22:27Speaker 2: like a nanny state. And that's what I think prompted
- 22:31Speaker 2: my no answer more than anything else, that I think
- 22:35Speaker 2: that we should educate and nurture young people and help
- 22:38Speaker 2: them and guide them and say, yes, this phone is fantastic.
- 22:41Speaker 2: There's so many things you can do with it. However,
- 22:43Speaker 2: there are problems. There are people online that you don't
- 22:46Speaker 2: want to interact with, you know, there are connected communities
- 22:49Speaker 2: that you probably shouldn't be connected with, or there are
- 22:52Speaker 2: algorithms that are going to make your feed feel like
- 22:56Speaker 2: you're playing a slot machine and you want to keep
- 22:58Speaker 2: scrolling and scrolling and scrolling, scrolling and scrolling. I bought
- 23:01Speaker 2: myself a new gadget recently, and I think this is
- 23:04Speaker 2: kind of cool. Craigo, can you describe what I'm holding
- 23:08Speaker 2: in my hand?
- 23:10Speaker 1: Your penis or the other thing? All right, the other thing? Okay,
- 23:15Speaker 1: so well I can't see your right hand, so I'm
- 23:18Speaker 1: just assuming. So in his left hand, he's holding what
- 23:24Speaker 1: looks like to be a hexagonal piece of steel. I
- 23:28Speaker 1: would say it's tiff loves that. It's about forty mili
- 23:32Speaker 1: dimensionally across and looks like it's about I don't know,
- 23:36Speaker 1: fifty mil high, maybe thirty mil and it's got some
- 23:40Speaker 1: kind of electronic timer or clock in the middle, and
- 23:44Speaker 1: on the other end it looks like a hole, so
- 23:47Speaker 1: it looks like something from the Space Program. It doesn't good,
- 23:51Speaker 1: Thank goodness, we didn't go the other hand, But there
- 23:53Speaker 1: you go.
- 23:55Speaker 2: That looks like something from the Space program too.
- 23:59Speaker 1: See see you don't need to open the door. I
- 24:03Speaker 1: just need to tap on the door. People, get it right?
- 24:06Speaker 2: You remember what Bezos's ship looked like? It was a
- 24:09Speaker 2: giant penis. Remember when he took off in his big
- 24:12Speaker 2: spaceship and they went out. You don't remember it anyway?
- 24:15Speaker 2: Look so anyway I do.
- 24:16Speaker 1: I do. That's because that was out of that movie.
- 24:19Speaker 1: What was that movie called? No, it's a real thing.
- 24:22Speaker 1: It wasn't a movie, No, no, no, I know. It
- 24:24Speaker 1: was a real ship that looked like a cock. I
- 24:26Speaker 1: remember that Cox just got a certain resonance, doesn't it
- 24:31Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't it? Well like, there's quite a few
- 24:35Speaker 1: people who have them, So let's not get too overwhelmed.
- 24:38Speaker 1: I mean, there's a fair percentage of the population.
- 24:41Speaker 2: What did you say, at fifty percent of the population,
- 24:44Speaker 2: it's a fraction less yeah.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Yeah, And Tiff, don't pretend like I mean. I mean,
- 24:53Speaker 1: the listeners know, you.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Know, the listeners are dying to know what Tim Patrick's
- 24:58Speaker 3: left hand, that's what the listeners know, thank.
- 25:00Speaker 2: You, thank you to bring you back on track to
- 25:03Speaker 2: that thank you.
- 25:05Speaker 1: It looks like something that should have gone extinct in
- 25:07Speaker 1: the Amazon two billion years ago.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Can I now talk about it?
- 25:12Speaker 1: I've seen it, I've seen it. Just looks super fucking tired.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Go on, Patrick, I'm just thinking about that new movie
- 25:21Speaker 2: about the Amazon called Anaconda.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Sorry yet, that's what the anaconda would eat as a
- 25:29Speaker 1: fucking snack as a warm up? Okay? Can can you
- 25:33Speaker 1: just say what that is? And can we get onto
- 25:35Speaker 1: another topic? I think people are jumping off the ship.
- 25:39Speaker 2: They are sorry, like the sst yp you reckon, Max
- 25:43Speaker 2: and Mark is still listening because we've name dropped them. Now,
- 25:46Speaker 2: there's no reason for them to keep listening.
- 25:48Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I'd be long gone. In fact, if anyone's listening,
- 25:51Speaker 1: If anyone's still listening, I love you, But what is
- 25:54Speaker 1: wrong with you? And why are you still here? Come on?
- 25:57Speaker 1: What is that thing?
- 25:58Speaker 2: So? What it is? It's a timer with pre set
- 26:02Speaker 2: timer amounts so five, ten, thirty, twenty five, fifteen, And
- 26:07Speaker 2: what what I what I got it for? Was I
- 26:10Speaker 2: set this for a specific time period? They want to
- 26:13Speaker 2: focus on a task and then I switch off all
- 26:16Speaker 2: other distractions and I use it as a way to
- 26:19Speaker 2: just focus on. I get distracted really easily. You know,
- 26:22Speaker 2: clients call for tech support, phone calls come in. So
- 26:26Speaker 2: what I've done is I've got.
- 26:27Speaker 1: To know, you know, tip how he goes I get
- 26:30Speaker 1: distracted easily. Then he has to give us ten examples
- 26:33Speaker 1: of said distractions. Hey, you could have just stopped that
- 26:36Speaker 1: I get distracted. We get it, we know what distractions are.
- 26:39Speaker 1: We don't need your list. If I can carry on,
- 26:42Speaker 1: We've got to get through some other shit. Carry on.
- 26:45Speaker 2: You wasted more time berating me than I did giving examples.
- 26:49Speaker 1: For one hundred in the hope that you won't do
- 26:52Speaker 1: that in the future.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Let me keep going for trying out loud Jesus anyway.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Blaspheme, Mary listens, Sorry, Mary.
- 27:05Speaker 2: We're talking blessed Virgin or your mother or both one
- 27:08Speaker 2: and the same. Now, So this is a timer, that
- 27:11Speaker 2: really is You're very quickly able to set a time
- 27:14Speaker 2: for however long you want, and it gives you a countdown.
- 27:17Speaker 2: But for me, it's a way to disconnect from technology
- 27:20Speaker 2: without distractions. And I just thought it was a nice
- 27:23Speaker 2: little mechanism to be able to demonstrate how I'm now
- 27:27Speaker 2: effectively trying to not be distracted by technology by using technology.
- 27:33Speaker 1: If can you edit out the last seven minutes? That
- 27:38Speaker 1: was fucking the opposite of entertaining, wasn't it? Fuck? And hell,
- 27:42Speaker 1: I want to fucking jump over the balcony right now.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Gadget that Patrick can come in here with.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Yeah, can your phone not do the same? Can you
- 27:50Speaker 1: not put it on flight mode? And your same your
- 27:52Speaker 1: phone does the same thing? Anyway, I don't know. I'm
- 27:55Speaker 1: not the tech guy, but it seems fucking unnecessary. Hey,
- 27:59Speaker 1: great work, trick. Look at him. He looks like the
- 28:03Speaker 1: little kid in the school yard up the corner. Just
- 28:05Speaker 1: fucking no, mates, Ah, let's bring you back into the fold.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Just do better. Five seven hundred years without recharging the
- 28:15Speaker 1: diamond nuclear battery built to outlast civilization.
- 28:20Speaker 2: That you are said, Fuck that, I've got a timer.
- 28:26Speaker 1: If you can bring one of these into the studio,
- 28:29Speaker 1: I'd be happy.
- 28:33Speaker 2: Okay, now this is really this is actually kind of
- 28:36Speaker 2: really interesting. Okay, So it's a carbon fourteen diamond battery.
- 28:42Speaker 2: Right now, we're not talking about powering your phone for
- 28:45Speaker 2: five and a half thousand years or powering a car,
- 28:49Speaker 2: but there's a University of Bristol have been doing research
- 28:53Speaker 2: into the decaying electrons that he used from carbon rods
- 28:57Speaker 2: out of nuclear reactors and the slow release of these
- 29:02Speaker 2: carbon rods. So the radiation effectively from the carbon rods
- 29:06Speaker 2: in cased in diamond means that you don't get irradiated,
- 29:10Speaker 2: but if you're in a probe into space, you could
- 29:13Speaker 2: potentially keep powering it for nearly six thousand years.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Wow wow yeah. Yeah. If you know that voice that
- 29:20Speaker 1: you hate, yes, I'm not going to use it. Think
- 29:24Speaker 1: of carbon rod said by that voice, what are you
- 29:29Speaker 1: talking about?
- 29:30Speaker 3: Don't ask about it. I don't want it to come out, your.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Carbon carbon rod to come out?
- 29:37Speaker 1: Okay, yeah yeah. Is that ever going to be a
- 29:42Speaker 1: thing though, Like, is that ever going to be operational
- 29:44Speaker 1: or is this just a hypothetical?
- 29:48Speaker 2: No, no, Well they've been able to demonstrate that they
- 29:51Speaker 2: can use it. So it's the it's the it's the
- 29:53Speaker 2: UK Atomic Energy Authority, and they've teamed up your Bristol
- 29:57Speaker 2: so that if look flict it's got start off as researches.
- 30:01Speaker 2: But these because at the moment these carbon fourteen rods,
- 30:05Speaker 2: they know they have a radioactive isotope and at the
- 30:10Speaker 2: moment they use them for carbon dating, so if you know,
- 30:13Speaker 2: when they measure how old the dinosaur bone is or
- 30:16Speaker 2: something like that, So it's the same technology. So this
- 30:19Speaker 2: is something that potentially, yeah, can be used and they
- 30:24Speaker 2: need to do something with the carbon rods. So it
- 30:27Speaker 2: sounds like it's a great way to use something that's
- 30:31Speaker 2: going to be around for a long time and make
- 30:33Speaker 2: it practical. So is it going to happen? Looks like
- 30:35Speaker 2: it will. Yeah, I don't see why not.
- 30:37Speaker 1: We'll stand by everybody. I like the next one because
- 30:39Speaker 1: it's an intersection of science stuff and stuff that Tiff
- 30:44Speaker 1: and I enjoy, which is kind of motorbikes electric or
- 30:49Speaker 1: they call them e bikes, but they're essentially motorbikes. And
- 30:52Speaker 1: before you tell us about the story, have you noticed,
- 30:58Speaker 1: either of you, all of the stories on the New
- 31:00Speaker 1: use about these swarms of e bikes, like literally one
- 31:03Speaker 1: hundred kids at a time out on eboat bikes taking
- 31:06Speaker 1: over roads and freeways and oh yeah, and some of
- 31:11Speaker 1: them do one hundred and ten hundred and twenty kilometers. Now,
- 31:14Speaker 1: they're essentially a motorbike, but they're riding them without helmets,
- 31:17Speaker 1: and so that shit is I think that's that's going
- 31:23Speaker 1: to have to be addressed really quickly, because just.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Before I went back to Tazzy young boy I think
- 31:29Speaker 3: he might have been fifteen, had an accident and passed
- 31:32Speaker 3: away on an e bike.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so sad. And what people don't understand is
- 31:40Speaker 1: like an e bike will out accelerate a lot of
- 31:43Speaker 1: motorbikes because they're electric, so it's instant, instant talk, and
- 31:49Speaker 1: that's one of that's why EV cars are so Yeah,
- 31:55Speaker 1: zero to zero to one hundred and three seconds is
- 31:59Speaker 1: heading towards common now with evs in the old days,
- 32:03Speaker 1: like like a Ford Falcon with a three point fifty
- 32:06Speaker 1: one will do it in seven seconds or eight seconds,
- 32:10Speaker 1: and that was mind blowing. Yeah, they just so far. Sorry, mate,
- 32:13Speaker 1: tell us the story if you would.
- 32:15Speaker 2: So, government authorities, people who are in the medical industry
- 32:19Speaker 2: and emergency departments are raising all these red flags and
- 32:23Speaker 2: saying they're seeing so many more injuries with kids who
- 32:27Speaker 2: are using these e bikes. And look, this is the
- 32:31Speaker 2: tough one, isn't it. The reality of it is that, Yes,
- 32:34Speaker 2: I think the biggest issue is the importation of bikes
- 32:39Speaker 2: that exceed the speed limit. So there are two types
- 32:41Speaker 2: of e devices we're talking about. So you've got scooters
- 32:45Speaker 2: which are totally electric and they are limited. I think
- 32:48Speaker 2: the speed limit in Victoria is twenty two kilometers in
- 32:52Speaker 2: our maximum for an e But with an e bike
- 32:55Speaker 2: it's slightly different because these e bikes they've got what
- 32:59Speaker 2: we call battery assist or motor assisted, so you can
- 33:02Speaker 2: pedal normally and then you can click into battery mode.
- 33:06Speaker 2: And that's why they're allowed on the roads because they're
- 33:08Speaker 2: effectively a bike, but they've also got a battery and
- 33:11Speaker 2: a motor in them. But the ones you're talking about,
- 33:13Speaker 2: they actually look like motorbikes and they are very, very
- 33:16Speaker 2: very fast. So there's a very because the thing is
- 33:19Speaker 2: on a pushbike you can go more than twenty two
- 33:21Speaker 2: kilometers an hour, so you know, regardless of chronics. So
- 33:25Speaker 2: the reality of it is when you then combine them
- 33:27Speaker 2: with an e bike, yes, it is very fast. The
- 33:30Speaker 2: challenge of course is again you know, I guess what
- 33:35Speaker 2: are the legalities of the importation of these e bucks.
- 33:40Speaker 2: We don't make them in Australia, we're just importing them.
- 33:42Speaker 2: You can go to Big w and buy one there
- 33:46Speaker 2: all over the place, and it comes down to well,
- 33:48Speaker 2: you know, if someone's doing the wrong thing on the roads,
- 33:50Speaker 2: whether you're doing the wrong thing as a cyclist, whether
- 33:52Speaker 2: you're doing the wrong thing as an e bike rider
- 33:54Speaker 2: or a motorist, then you can get pulled out by
- 33:58Speaker 2: the police in charge. You can be fine. Mind, the
- 34:01Speaker 2: issue of safety of young people being doing stupid things
- 34:05Speaker 2: on a very very very powerful, quickly accelerating e bike
- 34:09Speaker 2: is the big concern. But I wanted to touch on
- 34:13Speaker 2: another article that is adjoining to this, because e bikes
- 34:17Speaker 2: can be really really valuable for people who are less
- 34:20Speaker 2: mobile and can assist them greatly. And the flip side
- 34:24Speaker 2: to all of this is a study, a scientific study
- 34:30Speaker 2: has found something really surprising that from a fitness perspective,
- 34:34Speaker 2: people who are older, say fifty to eighty three. They
- 34:38Speaker 2: did a research study between the age of fifty to
- 34:42Speaker 2: eighty three and they found that people who are in
- 34:45Speaker 2: their older stages of life using e bikes are actually
- 34:49Speaker 2: healthier and mentally more focused because they're riding and they're
- 34:54Speaker 2: being more active, and so there are measurable cognitive and
- 34:58Speaker 2: mental health benefits from real cycling even though they're using
- 35:03Speaker 2: a bike. So if they're using a traditional bike, now
- 35:06Speaker 2: As people get older, then it's harder for them to
- 35:09Speaker 2: use a pedal bike. But if they've got an e
- 35:10Speaker 2: bike where they can get electric assists, then they're more
- 35:14Speaker 2: likely to be independent and riding. And what the found is,
- 35:18Speaker 2: and this is the lead research for a lady by
- 35:20Speaker 2: the name of Louise and Leyland said that in real
- 35:25Speaker 2: world urban environments it can make a really big difference
- 35:28Speaker 2: because being outdoors, it adds sensory input, navigation, social interaction,
- 35:34Speaker 2: and it can't be replicated by just doing some sort
- 35:37Speaker 2: of exercise indoors. So howering older people and helping them
- 35:42Speaker 2: stay on the road longer or helping them stay mobile
- 35:45Speaker 2: longer using e by technology is going to be really beneficial.
- 35:49Speaker 2: So if we suddenly ban e bikes because Alaric and
- 35:51Speaker 2: kids are getting out there and they're riding too fast,
- 35:55Speaker 2: what they're effectively doing is making it harder for older
- 35:58Speaker 2: people who are going to get real that have benefits
- 36:00Speaker 2: and physical benefits from riding e bikes. So I just
- 36:03Speaker 2: wanted to throw two of them into the mix.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that, dude. I one hundred percent agree
- 36:08Speaker 1: with that, lady, And you like that. The thing about it,
- 36:13Speaker 1: it's all about like with everything. It's almost like dose dependent.
- 36:17Speaker 1: People go, oh, that's bad. It depends on how much
- 36:19Speaker 1: of it, or you know, like an e bike with
- 36:23Speaker 1: I don't know, five hundred watts of power, which is
- 36:26Speaker 1: what they come two hundred and fifty watts, which doesn't
- 36:29Speaker 1: mean much to everyone, but that's like what they come
- 36:32Speaker 1: out with. It's not a lot of power, right, and
- 36:34Speaker 1: they actually won't go faster than twenty k's. But then
- 36:37Speaker 1: when they've got bikes which you've got five thousand lots
- 36:39Speaker 1: of power, which they also have five kilowatts, right, they've
- 36:45Speaker 1: got these very very light things that are actually very
- 36:48Speaker 1: high powered. And as you correctly point out, we're talking
- 36:53Speaker 1: about different things that just happen to have the same name.
- 36:56Speaker 1: And you think about an older person like TiVo, all
- 37:01Speaker 1: of a sudden, she's got she can ride the bike,
- 37:05Speaker 1: she can pedal it, she can have some assist if
- 37:07Speaker 1: she needs, and she's used her brain, as you suggested,
- 37:11Speaker 1: to navigate potential threats and dangers, and she's solving problems
- 37:16Speaker 1: in real time and she can Yeah, I agree, And
- 37:19Speaker 1: I wish that my only caveat would be with the
- 37:23Speaker 1: older older people, which sounds hilarious, but maybe tricycles, not bicycles,
- 37:28Speaker 1: just for I definitely wouldn't want Ronald Mary out on
- 37:31Speaker 1: one of them. I think everyone around Maybe it depends
- 37:35Speaker 1: on the individual, of course, but maybe around seventy seventy
- 37:38Speaker 1: five we should start thinking about something with a bit
- 37:40Speaker 1: more stability than two wheels. But other than that, I
- 37:44Speaker 1: think it's it's a great I hadn't really thought of it, so, yeah,
- 37:49Speaker 1: that's a good highlight. Yeah.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Wasn't there a motorbike that came out that we were
- 37:54Speaker 2: talking about on the show a few years ago that
- 37:57Speaker 2: had some sort of internal gyroscope that made it more stable?
- 38:01Speaker 2: Do you remember that.
- 38:02Speaker 1: One hundred percent? I don't know that ever went to production,
- 38:05Speaker 1: but I remember that there's but there is. I think
- 38:08Speaker 1: there's one motorbike that you push a button at the
- 38:12Speaker 1: lights and little wheels come out at the back, like
- 38:14Speaker 1: training wheels, So as you roll up to the light,
- 38:16Speaker 1: seas little wheels come out, so you literally don't even
- 38:19Speaker 1: have to put your feet down.
- 38:20Speaker 2: That's for you, mate.
- 38:21Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think, I mean, honestly, as I
- 38:24Speaker 1: get older, I think a lot about these, you know,
- 38:29Speaker 1: And I'm dealing with mum and dad right now, and
- 38:31Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we like. There are so many things,
- 38:35Speaker 1: and we've spoken about this maybe once. But if I
- 38:39Speaker 1: had all the dough in the world and I could
- 38:42Speaker 1: just I could do whatever I want. One of the
- 38:45Speaker 1: things I would do is I would get an acre
- 38:47Speaker 1: of space and I would build a playground for people
- 38:49Speaker 1: over sixty five and essentially a playground, and make it
- 38:55Speaker 1: as safe as humanly possible. People would get coached the
- 38:58Speaker 1: first time or two on how to use everything, and
- 39:01Speaker 1: I would make it free. If the government did that,
- 39:04Speaker 1: I would respect the government, just because you know, we
- 39:07Speaker 1: don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old
- 39:10Speaker 1: because we stop playing and play for grown ups, and
- 39:14Speaker 1: I mean real play, physical play in a balanced strength, coordination, fitness,
- 39:19Speaker 1: muscular endurance, aerobic endurance, spatial awareness, interaction with others, socializing.
- 39:26Speaker 1: If you could build something like that that people used regularly,
- 39:30Speaker 1: such a fucking three dimensional physical, mental, emotional, healthy thing
- 39:34Speaker 1: for people to do.
- 39:36Speaker 2: That is the best thing ever. One of my Do
- 39:38Speaker 2: you remember my friend Tina.
- 39:40Speaker 1: Who I do, Oh yeah, she's nice, she's nice.
- 39:43Speaker 2: In our early thirties, she decided for her birthday that
- 39:46Speaker 2: would go and do a McDonald's party, and we're told
- 39:50Speaker 2: off by the management for using the playground equipment at macas.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Who's that old cunt sliding down that tube and pushing
- 39:59Speaker 1: that all year old ahead of him?
- 40:01Speaker 2: But I think it was in Pran and so it
- 40:03Speaker 2: was one of those big indoor things with tubes and
- 40:05Speaker 2: we're crawling all right, asked to leave by the manager. Yeah, shocked.
- 40:10Speaker 2: We also went to a video shop once on someone
- 40:12Speaker 2: else's birthday wearing a pajamas and moccasins. Yeah, but see
- 40:17Speaker 2: the adult play I think that you're right though. I
- 40:21Speaker 2: think that's a great idea, you.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Know, mate, I'm not kidding. I would go. I would
- 40:26Speaker 1: legit go because how fun is climbing fucking swinging, like balancing? Oh?
- 40:34Speaker 1: You tif you would fucking love it. You'd love it, mate,
- 40:38Speaker 1: I'd love it. So many people I know, like, once
- 40:41Speaker 1: you get over your bullshit, your ego, your fucking self importance,
- 40:44Speaker 1: fuck all that. That's all unhealthy, emotional fucking shit. Just
- 40:49Speaker 1: go down. Put your ego at the front door, and
- 40:53Speaker 1: your self esteem fuck it. Put those in the lockers
- 40:56Speaker 1: next to your stinky socks and just fucking get out there.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Just But I bet half of our audience or more
- 41:04Speaker 1: ago and fuck I would actually do that. That would
- 41:05Speaker 1: be good.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Couldn't we just put a sign outside just average playgrounds
- 41:10Speaker 2: and say between this time and this time adults only.
- 41:15Speaker 1: No, I didn't know, but because I think the children's
- 41:18Speaker 1: playgrounds wouldn't be ideal for the for the oldies, so
- 41:22Speaker 1: I would I would design that environment so government, I
- 41:27Speaker 1: will do that for free free. I will never charge
- 41:30Speaker 1: you one cent. If you give me the financial resources
- 41:34Speaker 1: and the space, I'll develop this for you for free.
- 41:37Speaker 1: And I will get a team of volunteers who will
- 41:40Speaker 1: also work for free that I will train and will
- 41:43Speaker 1: revolutionize aged care. So there you go. I don't know
- 41:49Speaker 1: that this will ever get to them, but you know,
- 41:53Speaker 1: if you choose to do that, I'm in. I'm on board.
- 41:56Speaker 1: I'd almost almost make that my purpose for at least
- 42:00Speaker 1: year or two. How good would it be? Like that
- 42:03Speaker 1: excites me? Yeah, doing that for free excites me. Then
- 42:06Speaker 1: getting a high paid gig like truly give me that
- 42:10Speaker 1: project because that's such a fucking great thing for people.
- 42:16Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind being your crash test dummy on that too.
- 42:18Speaker 2: You know, I'd be there it all out.
- 42:21Speaker 1: Like if I if I pulled that off and I said, mate,
- 42:23Speaker 1: would you volunteer ten hours a week? Tip, would you
- 42:26Speaker 1: volunteer whatever? Five?
- 42:27Speaker 3: Ten?
- 42:28Speaker 1: I'm almost positive you'd both go yes, and Patrick you'd
- 42:31Speaker 1: probably go. Can I do more?
- 42:33Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 42:34Speaker 1: Because I don't want to go home now, you know,
- 42:36Speaker 1: and if maybe you as well, I have to go home? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
- 42:42Speaker 1: Can I just sleep on the big fucking that ropeie
- 42:45Speaker 1: thing over there that you know? What's that? Like that
- 42:47Speaker 1: webbing that they have like that, like the giant mesh? Yeah?
- 42:53Speaker 1: How good would it be? All right, let's let's not
- 42:56Speaker 1: get way laid with my dreams and visions for the elderly.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Well, can we bring dogs with as crago? Because I
- 43:01Speaker 2: think that's important. Lunar and Fritzi should be.
- 43:04Speaker 1: There as long as I think dogs, and I think
- 43:07Speaker 1: you know what also like for a little period of time,
- 43:12Speaker 1: like a care or a person. But I would have
- 43:15Speaker 1: it staffed. It would have to be set hours, and
- 43:18Speaker 1: you'd have to have at least one or two. Well,
- 43:21Speaker 1: if I know, there's a bunch of shits sort out,
- 43:23Speaker 1: but you sort it out. It's like with every good thing,
- 43:28Speaker 1: there are always hiccups and problems and things to resolve
- 43:31Speaker 1: and work around. But what I love is I love
- 43:35Speaker 1: the idea truly of doing something for nothing. Then people
- 43:40Speaker 1: can't question you. You know, there's no agenda. I'm not
- 43:43Speaker 1: going to open a fucking this. There's not going to
- 43:45Speaker 1: be anything sold via this. I want people to volunteer.
- 43:48Speaker 1: I might step away in two years and someone else
- 43:51Speaker 1: takes over. But I think when you go, and I know,
- 43:55Speaker 1: it's very rare when I truly have no agenda, no
- 43:59Speaker 1: commercial interest, and if there was some way that money
- 44:02Speaker 1: was made from it, I don't want it, do you
- 44:04Speaker 1: know what I mean? So yeah, I just think that
- 44:08Speaker 1: that is anyway, let's not get too weird and deep.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Patrick, Well, i'd just say just on the same theme.
- 44:15Speaker 2: A few years ago, my friends who lived down the
- 44:18Speaker 2: road from you were Christmas. I think they got me
- 44:21Speaker 2: a voucher to a rock climbing place. Now I've done
- 44:24Speaker 2: a lot of rock climbing over the years. It was
- 44:26Speaker 2: my kind of chosen sport. And they got me a
- 44:29Speaker 2: voucher and they came with me to this rock climbing
- 44:31Speaker 2: gym and I thought this is for kids. You know.
- 44:36Speaker 2: They had harnesses where you could step up poles and
- 44:39Speaker 2: climb up, and I thought, it's not real rock climbing. Well,
- 44:42Speaker 2: you know, obviously I was really excited to just be
- 44:44Speaker 2: with my friends anyway, but it was very much like
- 44:47Speaker 2: a kid's playground type gym. Oh my god, I had
- 44:50Speaker 2: the best time ever. It was so cool because the
- 44:53Speaker 2: harness is rather than needing a blayer, so a blayer
- 44:57Speaker 2: is when you go climbing, say indoor and potentially outdoors
- 45:01Speaker 2: as well, you can do as well. It's called top
- 45:02Speaker 2: roping where you put on a harness, You've got a
- 45:05Speaker 2: rope attached to you, someone that's holding the other end
- 45:08Speaker 2: of the rope, and you start to free climb and
- 45:10Speaker 2: then they pull the rope up in that way if
- 45:12Speaker 2: you fall, it takes the fall, where in this case
- 45:15Speaker 2: they had this automatic mechanism that allows you to be
- 45:18Speaker 2: able to clip in. You start climbing and it takes
- 45:22Speaker 2: you up automatically, so it doesn't matter if you fall.
- 45:24Speaker 2: It was a bit nerve wracking for me, who had
- 45:26Speaker 2: done rock climbing, to think that I didn't have a bulayer.
- 45:29Speaker 2: It was all automatic. That was a bit scary. That
- 45:31Speaker 2: was the most thing for me. But one of the
- 45:33Speaker 2: things that I liked the most is they had a
- 45:35Speaker 2: series of poles and you step up onto one pole,
- 45:38Speaker 2: so just the width of a normal pole in the
- 45:39Speaker 2: ground like a ballard, and they progressively got higher and
- 45:43Speaker 2: higher and higher, and they went round in a circle
- 45:45Speaker 2: and you had to try to jump from one to
- 45:47Speaker 2: the next, to the next to the next, and it
- 45:50Speaker 2: was so much fun and it just made me think
- 45:53Speaker 2: about it when you were talking about a playground for adults,
- 45:56Speaker 2: you know, those sorts of things, and you know it
- 45:58Speaker 2: was geared at kids, but adults were obviously able to
- 46:01Speaker 2: do that. You know, there was another wall where you
- 46:04Speaker 2: could compete with somebody else to climb as high as
- 46:07Speaker 2: you could, and then when you got to the top,
- 46:08Speaker 2: you hit the button and it locked. It locked in
- 46:12Speaker 2: your time, so you actually have a time speed climb
- 46:16Speaker 2: as well.
- 46:16Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think you want to kill
- 46:20Speaker 1: old people. I want to. I want to. You know,
- 46:24Speaker 1: old people cannot do any of that. I'm talking about
- 46:26Speaker 1: old people. I'm not talking about strong, healthy, fifty five
- 46:30Speaker 1: year olds or whatever the fuck you are.
- 46:32Speaker 3: But straining for the next Ninja warrior.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, have you actually met an old person?
- 46:37Speaker 1: That's not what I'm talking about. Come up to La
- 46:41Speaker 1: Tri Valley to the Ron and Mary Show and you'll
- 46:43Speaker 1: go Ah, there it is. I get it. I want
- 46:47Speaker 1: to know about I kind of want to know. But
- 46:50Speaker 1: I asked this question with trepidation. Optional underwear? Fuck the
- 46:56Speaker 1: pros and cons of going commando?
- 47:00Speaker 2: Study and I thought it might be something interesting.
- 47:04Speaker 1: Notice how his voice went real high that time, Tip,
- 47:08Speaker 1: it went up four octaves. You know he's a bit
- 47:10Speaker 1: nervous or gonna bullshit when his voice goes up so
- 47:14Speaker 1: many octaves.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Okay, Can I just ask the question, there's anybody can
- 47:19Speaker 2: commando today?
- 47:21Speaker 4: No?
- 47:22Speaker 1: I no, I've never gone commander in my life. I
- 47:26Speaker 1: don't think we should ask tiff that.
- 47:28Speaker 3: I think that's today.
- 47:31Speaker 2: Great. Oh that's really good to know.
- 47:34Speaker 1: Did you say great underpants?
- 47:37Speaker 2: What?
- 47:37Speaker 1: Well? You open the door? What makes them great? When
- 47:41Speaker 1: I say you opened the door? No, I mean, I mean,
- 47:45Speaker 1: I realize that can be metaphoric in many ways. I
- 47:50Speaker 1: just mean I'm not talking about oh fuck help, I'm
- 47:55Speaker 1: just talking about the conversational door.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Continue on.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Absolutely. There's some stats out of the United States that
- 48:06Speaker 2: say that a poll of American people, about seven percent
- 48:10Speaker 2: of Americans so they always go commando, and about say
- 48:14Speaker 2: that they often go without underwear. Now, I don't think
- 48:19Speaker 2: I ever have gone Commando. The whole idea of put
- 48:22Speaker 2: on a pair of genes and not being able to
- 48:23Speaker 2: get everything or feels cares.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but I know what are the alleged benefits.
- 48:32Speaker 2: Well, for men, it's more about being able to have
- 48:37Speaker 2: the you know, you not being constricted because when you
- 48:41Speaker 2: bring your testicles too close to your body, they heat up,
- 48:45Speaker 2: and they because they should. The reason that they're external
- 48:48Speaker 2: is because for sperm production, they know it's supposed to
- 48:51Speaker 2: be better for you. So you're potentially lowering your sperm
- 48:54Speaker 2: count if you wear tight underwear.
- 48:57Speaker 1: What if I bring my testicles close to you? Is
- 49:02Speaker 1: that the same? Also on this topic, we've had a
- 49:06Speaker 1: guy on the show called Lucas aon Who's uh Lucas,
- 49:11Speaker 1: He's no, he's great, he's great. He's in the integrative
- 49:14Speaker 1: kind of space and the bio hacker space, and he's
- 49:17Speaker 1: right up there. He's like one of the I don't know,
- 49:19Speaker 1: top ten in the world's highly regarded. But he's always
- 49:22Speaker 1: banging on about icing your balls always yeah I know what, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 49:29Speaker 1: yeah yeah, icing your balls. Just look it up icing
- 49:32Speaker 1: testical icing.
- 49:34Speaker 2: Dow algorithm algorithm.
- 49:36Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying to you, right, now I'm saying
- 49:39Speaker 1: that if some of the boys out there want to
- 49:42Speaker 1: find out, we'll just say, what are the benefits of
- 49:46Speaker 1: icing your testicles? It's goods clinical, there's not going to
- 49:48Speaker 1: Hopefully no pictures come up. Oh he's a photo of
- 49:51Speaker 1: the step one. Yeah, so.
- 49:57Speaker 3: Patrick's just gone to get the ice cube tray out
- 49:59Speaker 3: of his freezer.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Do you know what interests me on this this Patrick?
- 50:02Speaker 1: The fact that only seven petrol powered cars sold in
- 50:06Speaker 1: Norway last month, seven in the whole country changing.
- 50:11Speaker 2: Yeah, evidently it helps increase testos thrown levels and sperm quality,
- 50:15Speaker 2: boost energy and sex drive, and improves sleep quality. Oh
- 50:18Speaker 2: that could be good for sleep quality. I better check
- 50:21Speaker 2: my face.
- 50:21Speaker 1: Are we're talking about petrol cars or.
- 50:24Speaker 2: I'm still icing nuts?
- 50:26Speaker 1: Right? So just say that again.
- 50:28Speaker 4: Sorry, benefits, well, sperm quality, sleep, all those sorts of things. Yeah,
- 50:39Speaker 4: I just said it and I closed the window.
- 50:41Speaker 2: I can't remember what it was, but it was faced
- 50:44Speaker 2: the right amount of time. I don't want to end
- 50:46Speaker 2: up frozen jets crackers.
- 50:50Speaker 1: Well, if you can do that for your one, I'm
- 50:54Speaker 1: just asking chatters, do you know what you need to get?
- 50:57Speaker 1: Get an egg cup with really cold water in it? Oh,
- 51:01Speaker 1: I know, Maybe I don't know. Maybe you figure out
- 51:03Speaker 1: your own protocol. I'm not sure.
- 51:05Speaker 2: How about I will if you do for a week
- 51:08Speaker 2: and then the next episode will report back.
- 51:10Speaker 1: Fuck, no, no chance. You do it. You do it.
- 51:14Speaker 1: You do it for the good of the show and
- 51:16Speaker 1: the good of science, and we don't need any videos,
- 51:22Speaker 1: all right. Talk to us about Norway only selling seven
- 51:25Speaker 1: cars that are petrol powered in a whole month of
- 51:28Speaker 1: car sales.
- 51:29Speaker 2: That interesting? Yeah, so there was for the month of January,
- 51:33Speaker 2: the twenty nine hybrids were sold and ninety eight diesel
- 51:37Speaker 2: cars were sold. Okay, so we're talking diesel, but battery
- 51:42Speaker 2: electric took more than two thousand sold and only seven
- 51:47Speaker 2: actual petrol cars. So they're switch over from you know,
- 51:52Speaker 2: petrol power to EV has been amazing, and so that
- 51:58Speaker 2: was just the I guess the biggest uptake of any
- 52:02Speaker 2: country in the world has been in Norway. That's a
- 52:06Speaker 2: pretty interesting, isn't it.
- 52:08Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find out what your guess without
- 52:10Speaker 1: looking the population of Norway.
- 52:13Speaker 2: I'm going to say, maybe I don't know, eight thousand people,
- 52:16Speaker 2: eight million people, sorry, eight million, Maybe I don't know.
- 52:19Speaker 1: Is that good? What's your guess? Norway.
- 52:22Speaker 3: I'm not good at that game.
- 52:24Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, just because I was thinking two thousand cars
- 52:27Speaker 1: is not a lot of cars to sell in a month.
- 52:31Speaker 1: But the answer is about five and a half million,
- 52:34Speaker 1: five point six, So you're not Yeah, because I could
- 52:37Speaker 1: have guessed anything between three and forty. I wouldn't know,
- 52:41Speaker 1: So you're way accurate, more accurate than I would have been. Perfect.
- 52:48Speaker 1: All right, let's do one more and then let's hit
- 52:51Speaker 1: the frog and toad. You choose, bro, you choose something
- 52:55Speaker 1: that fascinates you or I can.
- 52:59Speaker 2: No, I will. I will a new start up. And
- 53:03Speaker 2: this look, I don't know whether you this. I don't
- 53:05Speaker 2: want to sound morbid, but thinking about death, I came
- 53:09Speaker 2: to a decision that I wanted to be cremated. And
- 53:12Speaker 2: then I thought, well, then what happens to my ashes?
- 53:14Speaker 2: And now I know? I am so excited about this
- 53:19Speaker 2: a start I saw this a startup as talking about
- 53:22Speaker 2: being able to send a thousand people's ashes into space affordably.
- 53:28Speaker 2: And we're talking as soon as twenty twenty seven. So
- 53:31Speaker 2: there's a guy who's the founder, Ryan Mitchell. He founded
- 53:35Speaker 2: a company called Space Beyond, and this stems back to
- 53:39Speaker 2: when he was just a young guy looking at the sky,
- 53:42Speaker 2: and he'd been to a recently, had been to the
- 53:45Speaker 2: death of a relative and they were cremated, and he
- 53:49Speaker 2: went to an ash spreading ceremony, and then he thought,
- 53:52Speaker 2: now what it's over, you know, So in this case,
- 53:56Speaker 2: I just thought that would be so cool to be
- 53:58Speaker 2: able to get my ashes into space. Look. I think
- 54:02Speaker 2: it's because remember we've spoken this on our show a
- 54:05Speaker 2: few times about my bucket list. So I've got two
- 54:08Speaker 2: bucket lists. I've got the bucket list of things that
- 54:10Speaker 2: are achievable and the bucket list of things that are
- 54:13Speaker 2: never going to happen. And so the achievable one is, yeah,
- 54:15Speaker 2: I want to go to Japan and that sort of stuff.
- 54:17Speaker 2: But the bucket list of unachievables is going into space.
- 54:21Speaker 2: But I like the idea of my ashes being fired
- 54:25Speaker 2: off into space. I think that would be amazing. And
- 54:28Speaker 2: also it would be cool because when you say, well,
- 54:31Speaker 2: people are going to go visit you, Crago, would you
- 54:34Speaker 2: go visit.
- 54:37Speaker 1: Look if you're in space, probably not, but I would
- 54:39Speaker 1: look at you through my telescope that I would buy,
- 54:42Speaker 1: of course at eight thousand X. And I wonder if
- 54:48Speaker 1: that star.
- 54:48Speaker 2: Is Patrick, Well, we're all made of stardust anyway. So
