- 0:08Speaker 2: Let's start with the It's going to say the chick
- 0:10Speaker 2: in the top left, but you can't say that because
- 0:12Speaker 2: it's an indictable offense. So we'll say the young lady
- 0:16Speaker 2: who's the top of my screen on the left, tight tip.
- 0:19Speaker 3: The thirty percent dude. Isn't that what you call with
- 0:21Speaker 3: thirty percent? Dude?
- 0:23Speaker 2: Very well, I think you freely admit you're about thirty
- 0:26Speaker 2: percent dude.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think.
- 0:29Speaker 1: I don't think you mind it either.
- 0:31Speaker 3: That's all right, it's all right.
- 0:32Speaker 5: It makes me feel tough, brot bit of behavioral leeway
- 0:38Speaker 5: in life.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Well, two percent more dude than Patrick, So well done,
- 0:41Speaker 2: Hi Patrick, stop it?
- 0:43Speaker 4: No, then there's officially now too, aren't there? Are we
- 0:46Speaker 4: getting political on this one, because that's no, No, we're not.
- 0:51Speaker 1: We're not opening that door.
- 0:53Speaker 2: No, you're one hundred percent man, despite your T shirt
- 0:56Speaker 2: that says zombies eat flesh.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Do you like it? Yeah?
- 1:03Speaker 2: I love it?
- 1:05Speaker 4: Bombie face? Can I tell us I'm good? Thank you.
- 1:08Speaker 4: I've got a bit of a funny day today. I've
- 1:10Speaker 4: got to get my car serviced and I'm chatting to
- 1:13Speaker 4: Tiff later tatt and to Tiff now. It's kind of
- 1:15Speaker 4: the most exciting thing of my day. But you know, I,
- 1:19Speaker 4: did you ever watch the Walking Dead series? The Zombie series? I?
- 1:25Speaker 2: No, I'm not a zombie. I don't hate it. It's
- 1:28Speaker 2: just doesn't do it for me. You know, the Walking
- 1:30Speaker 2: Dead type stuff doesn't do it for me.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Okay, I may have got a bit obsessive. I resisted.
- 1:36Speaker 4: I do. I'm one of these people who Game of Thrones.
- 1:38Speaker 4: I'm not watching it. I'm not watching that because everybody's
- 1:40Speaker 4: watching it. I'm going to resist. And then what I
- 1:42Speaker 4: do is three seasons in someone says, go on, just
- 1:46Speaker 4: try it, and then I binge it. And so I
- 1:48Speaker 4: started binging the Walking Dead and got so into zombies
- 1:53Speaker 4: that I was walking through bunnings and I'm thinking, crowbar, No,
- 1:57Speaker 4: that's too heavy to swing. What would I use use
- 2:00Speaker 4: in the zombie apocalypse? Because a crowbar is great because
- 2:04Speaker 4: it's really heavy and solid, but it's impractical. If you're
- 2:06Speaker 4: doing the swings, it's got to be samurai swords like
- 2:09Speaker 4: two sorts because they're very sharp, they're very strong, and
- 2:13Speaker 4: you can move around with them a lot. But so yeah,
- 2:17Speaker 4: it's a bit of a worry. And then I go
- 2:18Speaker 4: to garden sales, you know when they have like trash
- 2:21Speaker 4: and treasure sales and people sell tools and stuff, and
- 2:25Speaker 4: they have all the tools laid out same thing. I'm
- 2:27Speaker 4: walking around thinking, good for zombies. Nut that to be impractical.
- 2:31Speaker 4: So maybe, like, I like where you're going.
- 2:34Speaker 2: But I think samurai sword's pretty cumbersome, pretty heavy, by
- 2:38Speaker 2: the way.
- 2:39Speaker 4: And pretty big one. I used to have one.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I have a number of could I say, you did
- 2:43Speaker 2: not have a samurai sword. You had some shitty, cheap
- 2:47Speaker 2: replica from probably kmart.
- 2:49Speaker 4: See there you go the samurai saw that I got.
- 2:52Speaker 4: So a friend of mine heer here.
- 2:54Speaker 1: We go, Tip, Here we go tip.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Japan, and was presented with a Samurai saw and she
- 3:00Speaker 4: gave me the Samurai sword. I gifted it to a
- 3:04Speaker 4: friend of mine who since passed away, who is a
- 3:06Speaker 4: ten dan martial arts expert, and I gave that to
- 3:10Speaker 4: him as a gift. But I did hold the Samurai sword.
- 3:13Speaker 4: And maybe it's because you've got painted on arms, but
- 3:16Speaker 4: I didn't think it was that heavy.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Oh, now we're having a personal attack on Jumbo. Last night,
- 3:23Speaker 2: I got picked on in the gym this morning. I'm
- 3:25Speaker 2: getting picked your arms as well.
- 3:27Speaker 5: For your shoulders was last night. So there's a correlation there.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Muscles, they're not practical muscles because the thing is your
- 3:35Speaker 4: arms are too big. You're probably not going to be
- 3:37Speaker 4: practical in the zombie apocalypse with the samurai sword purely
- 3:41Speaker 4: because you're too but you're not going to have the
- 3:43Speaker 4: flexibility and the movement to be able to get around
- 3:45Speaker 4: and swing at those zombies. TIF would be okay because
- 3:48Speaker 4: being all right.
- 3:49Speaker 2: So if there's three blokes in a car park and
- 3:52Speaker 2: option A is you, an option as me, Option B
- 3:56Speaker 2: is me, I reckon.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I'll go all right, I reckon I might Outlast year.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I've won every one of my fights by one hundred
- 4:05Speaker 4: meters accelerating. I know this has nothing to do with tech,
- 4:11Speaker 4: do you know want to say to my tai chi students,
- 4:13Speaker 4: because tai chi, as you know, I practice tai chi
- 4:15Speaker 4: and I teach tai chi, which is a very slow
- 4:17Speaker 4: moving martial art which is good for muscle memory. But
- 4:22Speaker 4: really what it is is designed to use the opponent's
- 4:25Speaker 4: energy against them. So if someone threw a punch at you,
- 4:28Speaker 4: the idea is that, rather than resisting, you would kind
- 4:31Speaker 4: of deflect the punch. Besides, you throw them off balance.
- 4:35Speaker 4: But really it's about disarming, getting them away from you,
- 4:39Speaker 4: and then running off. You don't fight people, you just
- 4:42Speaker 4: run away from them.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that sounds like the worst martial art ever. Okay,
- 4:49Speaker 2: as a relaxation practice, awesome. But rather than try and
- 4:54Speaker 2: wait for the punches to come and then deflect them
- 4:56Speaker 2: and run, why not just punch the person in the
- 4:59Speaker 2: face who's try want to hurt you, just run in
- 5:01Speaker 2: the first place, because maybe they can run faster. We
- 5:06Speaker 2: don't recommend violence at all, avoid violence at all costs,
- 5:09Speaker 2: but if you need to protect yourself, do so. T
- 5:14Speaker 2: was before speaking it go on trying helps.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Do you know a grown man blubbering like a child
- 5:20Speaker 4: probably would make you seem so pathetic they wouldn't hit
- 5:23Speaker 4: you anyway. I don't know from experience, No, I really haven't.
- 5:30Speaker 4: I know. I think I've only ever been in two fights,
- 5:33Speaker 4: and I could kind of embarrassed to say this, But
- 5:36Speaker 4: there was a bully at school who was bigger than
- 5:37Speaker 4: everybody else, and it was my turn to be bullied.
- 5:41Speaker 4: So I punched him in the face and he was
- 5:43Speaker 4: scared of me for the rest about io at school.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, so you bullied the bully.
- 5:49Speaker 4: I believe the bully. Yeah, that's a true story.
- 5:52Speaker 2: So you just told us about you don't fight, you
- 5:54Speaker 2: deflect and you run, and then you just seconds later
- 5:58Speaker 2: tell us about how you assaulted.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Somebody discovered side. Now I'm going to get.
- 6:03Speaker 2: You've got to get your fucking stories straight. You keep
- 6:06Speaker 2: contradicting yourself seen.
- 6:08Speaker 4: And you're an idiot because, come on, let's face it,
- 6:10Speaker 4: fifteen hormones go and all that sort of stuff actually
- 6:13Speaker 4: was probably fourteen truth. It was just a kid, weedy kid.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Which hormones? Exactly did you have going? That's my question?
- 6:22Speaker 4: No, don't you remember how hard it was being a teenager.
- 6:28Speaker 4: It was awful. I was really bad at being a teenager.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I'm bad at being a human, doesn't matter what the
- 6:35Speaker 2: fucking ac je. I'm still trying to figure sit out.
- 6:37Speaker 2: That's why I talk about human behavior always.
- 6:40Speaker 4: H I was a nerd all my life. I don't
- 6:42Speaker 4: think I've ever not been a nerd, you know, I was.
- 6:44Speaker 4: I had my photo in the paper at thirteen on
- 6:47Speaker 4: the Herald Son as a cyber man because I used
- 6:51Speaker 4: to be part of the Doctor Who fan club.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Wow, that's and you're still talking about that seventy years later.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Else you told everyone my arms are painted on. I
- 7:07Speaker 2: want to talk a little bit about tech. Well, it's
- 7:10Speaker 2: it's not really it's very low. I know, I know
- 7:13Speaker 2: that's your job. But TIF have you ever listened to
- 7:18Speaker 2: a fiction book?
- 7:20Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 7:22Speaker 2: I listen to shit all the time, but it's always
- 7:24Speaker 2: you know, self help of psychology or whatever. Have you
- 7:28Speaker 2: ever listened to a fiction book on audio, audible or whatever?
- 7:32Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't like it. I can't do it, really, No,
- 7:35Speaker 5: I have to read them fiction books. I've read nonfiction.
- 7:38Speaker 5: I listened to nonfiction, but I can't do fiction.
- 7:41Speaker 2: On I've never listened to one in my life, but
- 7:44Speaker 2: I am now, so I'm listening to my first one.
- 7:47Speaker 2: It's called The Gray Man. It's the most ridiculous. I
- 7:50Speaker 2: mean it's it's it's full of violence and revenge and
- 7:53Speaker 2: retribution and heroism. But it's so fucking ridiculous. But my
- 7:58Speaker 2: rule is I can only listen because because I'm so
- 8:01Speaker 2: into it, it'll stop me from doing work. So my
- 8:04Speaker 2: rule is I can only listen to it when I'm walking.
- 8:07Speaker 2: And I woke up at five o'clock this morning. I
- 8:09Speaker 2: so want to know what happens next. I got out
- 8:11Speaker 2: of bed and started walking at five oh two so
- 8:15Speaker 2: I could hear what happens next, I got to say,
- 8:19Speaker 2: And it's like, I don't know what it is twelve hours.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I'm like, eleven hours in I feel like there's going
- 8:24Speaker 2: to be another one on the horizon. But how good
- 8:27Speaker 2: is it that we have? I know that that's been
- 8:29Speaker 2: around forever, But do you listen to fiction?
- 8:31Speaker 1: Mate?
- 8:32Speaker 4: Science fiction? Fiction has been my bread and butter since
- 8:37Speaker 4: I was probably about seven years older. Case I started
- 8:40Speaker 4: off with The Magic Far Away Tree right Enid Blyton,
- 8:44Speaker 4: and I got to the end of the series. I
- 8:46Speaker 4: was so upset when the book's finished. I started writing
- 8:49Speaker 4: my own stories with the same characters. And I used
- 8:54Speaker 4: to go to the children's library every No one's going
- 8:56Speaker 4: to be surprised by this. I used to go to
- 8:57Speaker 4: the children's library every Saturday in Kober and then one
- 9:01Speaker 4: day I asked for a book that someone had recommended,
- 9:03Speaker 4: and they said, oh, look, that's in the adult library.
- 9:06Speaker 4: And I said, oh really, And they said no, no,
- 9:08Speaker 4: you just go across the road there to the adult
- 9:10Speaker 4: library and then you can get it from there. And
- 9:11Speaker 4: it's like, oh, I'm allowed. So as a like eight
- 9:15Speaker 4: or nine year old, I'd suddenly discovered that I could
- 9:17Speaker 4: go to the adult library and then my future of
- 9:21Speaker 4: sci fi just blew my head apart. I just started
- 9:24Speaker 4: reading adult sci fi from about that age and I
- 9:27Speaker 4: loved it. And then in audiobooks, I've got one constantly
- 9:30Speaker 4: on the go, a lot of fantasy. I like fantasy stuff,
- 9:33Speaker 4: but sci fi fantasy constantly on the go.
- 9:35Speaker 2: What's the best? What's your favorite all time? And I
- 9:39Speaker 2: know you're going to say it's too hard, But if
- 9:41Speaker 2: you had to pick one your favorite all time.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Fiction, I'm going to say, too, it's either Dune and
- 9:47Speaker 4: I know it's been made into a series with Timothy
- 9:52Speaker 4: Chip to my fae Geala May, who yet is like
- 9:56Speaker 4: the hottest property like in Hollywood at the moment. Amazing
- 10:00Speaker 4: guy because he's doing the Dylan movie at the moment
- 10:03Speaker 4: as well, and he sings really well. And the others.
- 10:06Speaker 4: The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, because Foundation is kind
- 10:09Speaker 4: of based loosely on the for of the Roman Empire,
- 10:12Speaker 4: and again that's been made by Apple, So both of
- 10:15Speaker 4: these are now being adapted screen adaptations, which are both
- 10:19Speaker 4: very very high quality screen adaptations. And by coincidence, and
- 10:22Speaker 4: then anything by Arthur C. Clark, because Arthur C. Clark
- 10:26Speaker 4: literally invented the future. He invented the communication satellite. Asimov
- 10:31Speaker 4: came up with the term robotics like everything in science
- 10:33Speaker 4: now and science fiction visionaries. It's kind of funny that
- 10:36Speaker 4: you brought it up because the UK Department of Defense
- 10:41Speaker 4: has got all these sci fi writers together and ask
- 10:45Speaker 4: them to come up with dystopian future sci fi scenarios
- 10:50Speaker 4: to help them plan to plan security for the future.
- 10:53Speaker 4: This is an actual real thing, So, you know, the
- 10:56Speaker 4: golden Yews of science fiction, which I also love to read,
- 10:59Speaker 4: you know, if you get a chance to read some HG.
- 11:02Speaker 4: Wells and some of the really early sci fi writers.
- 11:05Speaker 4: These are people who wrote sci fi in sometimes even
- 11:08Speaker 4: pre dating the nineteenth century, so we're talking at the
- 11:10Speaker 4: late eighteen hundreds, wrote sci fi about going into space,
- 11:14Speaker 4: like sci fi in the early nineteen hundreds, where you
- 11:18Speaker 4: know HG. Wells, you know, and all those sorts of
- 11:22Speaker 4: visionary writers before it was even called science fiction. We're
- 11:26Speaker 4: talking flying, we're talking about anti gravity, so science, you know,
- 11:31Speaker 4: the renaissance of science and the idea that we would
- 11:36Speaker 4: enhance our learning by understanding more about human body, more
- 11:39Speaker 4: about you know, the world around us, the planet's technology.
- 11:44Speaker 4: That was what spurned the writers to start visioning what
- 11:48Speaker 4: the future might be like, and then in envisag envisaging
- 11:54Speaker 4: the future, they helped create it. As like I said,
- 11:57Speaker 4: you know, Arthur C. Clarke was at a conference talking
- 11:59Speaker 4: about communications satellites, which he literally invented in sci fi,
- 12:04Speaker 4: and a guy approached him and gave him this vision
- 12:08Speaker 4: of the Internet. Said, oh yeah, so satellites would all
- 12:10Speaker 4: be up there, communications satellites, and then we would link
- 12:13Speaker 4: them together. And he tells this story. There's an article
- 12:16Speaker 4: I read many years ago. He talks about how it
- 12:18Speaker 4: kind of blew his mind that this guy effectively was
- 12:21Speaker 4: pre dating the Internet with this concept of how communication
- 12:25Speaker 4: satellites would allow us all to have access to a
- 12:28Speaker 4: reservoir of data and information, and it was just kind
- 12:33Speaker 4: of blows my mind. So that was a really long
- 12:35Speaker 4: winded answer to do I read sci fi?
- 12:38Speaker 2: Was it? That's your specialty?
- 12:40Speaker 1: Long winded? But we love your long windedness.
- 12:43Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what all of us, especially me
- 12:45Speaker 2: and Tiff, are hoping comes to fruition and you is
- 12:50Speaker 2: the fucking hoverboard from Back to the Future that's still
- 12:53Speaker 2: not here.
- 12:54Speaker 4: Paks Sorry sorry, jetpacks. I got to say jetbacks trump
- 12:57Speaker 4: hoverboard's tiff jetpack or hole board.
- 13:00Speaker 3: The jet packs those things in water.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Well they do have a water variation on it, but
- 13:07Speaker 4: jet packs of the pack, your strap on your back
- 13:09Speaker 4: and you fly a to b that's got.
- 13:11Speaker 3: To be that would be pretty cool.
- 13:13Speaker 2: It is, well, I think that's inherently dangerous. We don't
- 13:16Speaker 2: want fucking seven year olds in Hampton putting that shit on.
- 13:20Speaker 2: I'm just heading over to pugging Doncaster to see Bobby.
- 13:23Speaker 3: How many SEC's is your motorcycle? Harps? What's that got
- 13:27Speaker 3: to do with anything inherently dangerous?
- 13:30Speaker 1: That's fly Hey, Patrick, l.
- 13:35Speaker 4: This conversation because I'm going on because Tiff rays a
- 13:39Speaker 4: very very valid point. Right, two D three D. You're
- 13:43Speaker 4: on the ground on a bike. More things to hit
- 13:46Speaker 4: when you're in the sky, right, You've got depth and
- 13:49Speaker 4: height and breadth. There's so many less, so less things
- 13:52Speaker 4: to hit. Clouds like clouds, they're fluffy. Right. Cars are
- 13:56Speaker 4: heavy and solid, So if you're a bike that is
- 13:59Speaker 4: going to be heaps more dangerous than a jetpack.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Then again, I'm hitting the ground when the technology fails.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Is that okay?
- 14:07Speaker 2: Maybe it's falling out of the sky like a fucking
- 14:10Speaker 2: dead budgy. Can I just mention? I don't want to
- 14:14Speaker 2: rain on your physics parade, but riding a motorbike is
- 14:18Speaker 2: three D not two D.
- 14:20Speaker 4: Well, I know, but I was simplifying it. I was
- 14:22Speaker 4: just putting it down to its component parts I think.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Or as we would call it, making a mistake. That's okay, though,
- 14:28Speaker 2: because it's all fucking three D.
- 14:30Speaker 3: You.
- 14:31Speaker 4: A friend of mine is to call motorbike riders temporary Aussies.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Yeah, a million people call them that.
- 14:39Speaker 1: That's old. I've been called that a thousand times. Hey.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Speaking of prolific science writers, here's a trivia question. I'm
- 14:47Speaker 2: sure you will know the answer to. Who's the most
- 14:51Speaker 2: Who's the guy who invented a religion? Yeah, most prolific
- 15:00Speaker 2: science writer of science fiction writer of all time including religion.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 15:04Speaker 4: You know. He was at a conference with Isaac Asimov
- 15:07Speaker 4: and said, you know what, this is a true quote.
- 15:09Speaker 4: He said, the only way to really make money is
- 15:11Speaker 4: to make up a religion.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Start a religion.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Yeah, so for our listeners who don't know so scientology,
- 15:19Speaker 2: you know, Tom Cruise and the like, or or and
- 15:21Speaker 2: quite a lot of Hollywood people and famous people. I
- 15:25Speaker 2: think quite a few people have jumped ship now. But
- 15:28Speaker 2: still it's relatively influential.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:32Speaker 2: The guy who started that religion was the world's biggest
- 15:38Speaker 2: I think he still is. Can you google that tip?
- 15:41Speaker 2: Can you say l Ron Hubbard? Is he the world's
- 15:44Speaker 2: most prolific scientific science writer? Patrick's doing like? Patrick's like, No,
- 15:49Speaker 2: I'm going to do it.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Patrick. This does not make for good listening. When you
- 15:54Speaker 1: stop the conversation.
- 15:56Speaker 4: You're still talking. You haven't shut up.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Well, that's because both you got on your fucking computers.
- 16:02Speaker 4: Isaac Asimov actually is considered one of the most prolific
- 16:05Speaker 4: science fiction writers, publishing five hundred books.
- 16:10Speaker 2: All right, who's the most who's the most? Tiff Anyway, this.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Is the most prolific meme the most you said, one
- 16:21Speaker 4: of the most considered one of the most, Well, what
- 16:25Speaker 4: the hell? Like, I don't know if he's one of
- 16:27Speaker 4: the most Maybe I don't know. Stephen King, Stephen King
- 16:31Speaker 4: has written a lot. He's prolific, and he's kind of
- 16:35Speaker 4: it's kind of sci fi is It's kind of mo
- 16:36Speaker 4: horror though, isn't it.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not Stephen King. I'm not sure. Do we
- 16:44Speaker 1: talk about we talk about tech please?
- 16:47Speaker 4: We are kind of well kind of okay, Hey, did
- 16:51Speaker 4: you look. You didn't want to talk about the Trump thing,
- 16:53Speaker 4: did you? And all the tech bros up there? Fist
- 16:55Speaker 4: pumping and all that sort of stuff like that toxic
- 16:57Speaker 4: if you like. Oh well, because that kind of tied
- 17:02Speaker 4: into the TikTok ban and what even though that's based
- 17:05Speaker 4: in it, so you know the background to the TikTok band, right,
- 17:08Speaker 4: So there's an announcement that TikTok is going to be
- 17:10Speaker 4: banned because it's owned by China and it's going to
- 17:12Speaker 4: be banned in the US, and then they switch it
- 17:13Speaker 4: off and then like ten minutes later, Trump gets it
- 17:16Speaker 4: and says no, no, no, no, we'll put it back on
- 17:18Speaker 4: for a limited time. So ninety dos. But what a
- 17:22Speaker 4: lot of people didn't realize is it actually affected some
- 17:24Speaker 4: people in Australia who are on TikTok because they had
- 17:26Speaker 4: US based accounts. So you know, people who had accounts
- 17:29Speaker 4: that were originally set up in the US were suddenly
- 17:33Speaker 4: disappearing as well. And so look, there's been a you know,
- 17:36Speaker 4: pulled back on it. But that's kind of interesting, and
- 17:40Speaker 4: you know, did you the fact that all these tech
- 17:43Speaker 4: bros have kind of got together with Trump and the
- 17:45Speaker 4: inauguration was a bit scary to see. And someone told
- 17:49Speaker 4: me the other day, one of my colleagues, and I'm
- 17:51Speaker 4: hoping this is true, because I'm going to tell everybody that,
- 17:53Speaker 4: for the first time ever in the history of Facebook,
- 17:56Speaker 4: if you had a Facebook account in the US, you
- 17:58Speaker 4: will automatically free by Donald Trump.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Wow.
- 18:03Speaker 4: So the accounts were automatically friended by Donald Trump. And
- 18:07Speaker 4: I think the only time that's ever happened previously was
- 18:09Speaker 4: MySpace because when you initially signed up to MySpace, you
- 18:12Speaker 4: were a friend of Bob the Blake who set up
- 18:14Speaker 4: my Space. But you could opt out, and you can
- 18:17Speaker 4: still opt out of a Trump thing. But is that
- 18:19Speaker 4: a bit scary when you're automatically friended by Donald Trump?
- 18:21Speaker 4: That's a big payback, isn't it?
- 18:23Speaker 1: Is it?
- 18:24Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 18:24Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Does it make any difference though, I mean, we're so
- 18:27Speaker 2: there's so much surveillance. They've got so much information on
- 18:31Speaker 2: all of us.
- 18:32Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 18:33Speaker 2: At what point do you go, oh, well, I mean
- 18:35Speaker 2: not that I you know, not that I want somebody
- 18:39Speaker 2: having the ins and outs of my life. But it
- 18:42Speaker 2: just feels almost like we're past the point of no return.
- 18:45Speaker 2: You know, there's that technology now where they can somebody
- 18:49Speaker 2: can just get a picture of your face, upload it,
- 18:52Speaker 2: and that will give whoever uploaded it basically your address,
- 18:56Speaker 2: your phone number, and certain information about you just from
- 19:00Speaker 2: uploading an image of your face.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Yeah, you can do reverse image searches. But you know,
- 19:05Speaker 4: it's a good point. You brought that up because there's
- 19:07Speaker 4: been a bit of controversy at the Australian Open tennis
- 19:10Speaker 4: because they're using facial recognition at the Open this year
- 19:13Speaker 4: for the very first time. And what the controversy surrounds is, Okay,
- 19:18Speaker 4: they're tracking all the patrons, but they're saying it's part
- 19:21Speaker 4: of the terms and conditions of buying a ticket, and
- 19:24Speaker 4: people civil liberties people are saying, well, you know what,
- 19:28Speaker 4: no one reads terms and conditions, so when you go
- 19:31Speaker 4: to buy a ticket for a sporting event, you don't
- 19:34Speaker 4: really you know, you're kind of accepting the fact of
- 19:37Speaker 4: all the terms and conditions, but the fact that now
- 19:40Speaker 4: the Australian Open is tracking everybody. The question is what
- 19:44Speaker 4: happens to that data? You know, is it being stored securely,
- 19:47Speaker 4: how long is it being stored for? Is it just
- 19:50Speaker 4: going to be stored for the duration of the event,
- 19:53Speaker 4: or is it going to you know, what does that
- 19:55Speaker 4: mean about them having a database that potentially could be
- 19:58Speaker 4: hacked when they're matching people's face you know, this is
- 20:01Speaker 4: the problem with that facial recognition, that recognition stuff. Bunning's
- 20:05Speaker 4: got into a lot of trouble because they did the
- 20:08Speaker 4: very same thing and using they were tracking people. They
- 20:11Speaker 4: say it was to try to track offenders who potentially
- 20:15Speaker 4: might be people who would steal or people who could
- 20:18Speaker 4: were violent, and they were tracking all of their customers
- 20:21Speaker 4: as they went in out of the stores. But they
- 20:22Speaker 4: got into a lot of hot water over that, and
- 20:25Speaker 4: there's been a lot of this controversy over in the
- 20:27Speaker 4: Australian Open with fans being tracked wherever they go. I mean,
- 20:30Speaker 4: what does that mean about privacy? Do you want to
- 20:33Speaker 4: be tracked everywhere you go? Aps?
- 20:36Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we are.
- 20:38Speaker 2: You know, it's like when I get in my new car,
- 20:40Speaker 2: the one that I hardly drive, it just asks me
- 20:44Speaker 2: all these questions. It's like, do you want to do this?
- 20:47Speaker 2: It's like it's a computer. That's like, it's a comfortable
- 20:51Speaker 2: computer with an engine. That's what it's It's kind of ridiculous.
- 20:55Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. I think we're past the
- 20:57Speaker 2: point of no return, Like, what's the what's the oldternative
- 21:00Speaker 2: living off the grid with no computer and no phone.
- 21:04Speaker 4: No, no, there is no alternative because you can't do that.
- 21:08Speaker 4: When you walk down the street, if you walk through
- 21:10Speaker 4: a crowded city, your face is going to be trapped
- 21:12Speaker 4: by this software. If you want to go to see
- 21:14Speaker 4: a sporting event, if you want to go to the
- 21:16Speaker 4: Australian Open tennis, you have no choice. If you purchase
- 21:19Speaker 4: a ticket, you are giving them permission to use your vision,
- 21:23Speaker 4: to use your face, and to track what you're doing
- 21:26Speaker 4: and record that information. Wherever you walk, whatever you look at,
- 21:29Speaker 4: whatever you do, whatever match you see, how you interact
- 21:32Speaker 4: with people is effectively being monitored.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the upside of that? Is there an upside? Well,
- 21:41Speaker 2: they're an upside for us. Maybe it's a good way
- 21:44Speaker 2: to find crooks and criminals and baddies as my mum
- 21:47Speaker 2: would call them.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Well, look, yes, potentially, like it's look, the reality of
- 21:53Speaker 4: it is they're saying that it means that they can
- 21:56Speaker 4: quickly if something happens, if there are known people who've
- 21:59Speaker 4: been so ciated I guess with violence or with you know,
- 22:03Speaker 4: because they do sometimes have people who do stupid things
- 22:06Speaker 4: on court, and we're not on the actually on court
- 22:08Speaker 4: as well, people in the crowd doing doing things. I
- 22:11Speaker 4: can remember one year someone jumped onto the court and
- 22:14Speaker 4: it was like it was a civil disobedience thing that
- 22:17Speaker 4: they were kind of trying to. I think they raised
- 22:19Speaker 4: a banner and they feel unfilled the banner and and
- 22:23Speaker 4: jumped onto the court. But it wasn't you know who
- 22:25Speaker 4: was it was it Martina and the rattleover who was
- 22:28Speaker 4: the tennis player who got stabbed?
- 22:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking of her, now I wasn't was
- 22:38Speaker 2: a young girl Martina Hingis okay, yep.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right, I remember that. Yeah. I
- 22:49Speaker 1: mean how do we get there?
- 22:52Speaker 4: Monitoring and and and the idea is that if someone
- 22:55Speaker 4: has as a known violent defender and their monitor potentially
- 22:58Speaker 4: they could be flagged as someone to be watched. You
- 23:01Speaker 4: know how I don't.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I know the gators closed on this, But how bad
- 23:05Speaker 2: is the security when someone can get out of the stands,
- 23:09Speaker 2: cross a tennis court at a major event and stab
- 23:13Speaker 2: one of the best players in the world in front
- 23:15Speaker 2: of thousands of people. Like you'd want to review security
- 23:19Speaker 2: after that, wouldn't you. Well, the thing is, how do
- 23:22Speaker 2: you track people? They do have, I mean no, but
- 23:25Speaker 2: you've got to have security on court so that if
- 23:27Speaker 2: someone runs out, Well, they do, but they've got well
- 23:30Speaker 2: yes and no.
- 23:31Speaker 4: There are security at the entrances to all the courts
- 23:35Speaker 4: and they have them. You know, they have the officials,
- 23:38Speaker 4: but they don't have like big burly bloke standing on
- 23:41Speaker 4: the court ready to run on. I mean I think
- 23:43Speaker 4: they should.
- 23:44Speaker 1: They should have.
- 23:45Speaker 2: They should have because that can happen if that's a
- 23:47Speaker 2: potential occurrence. Would like, if I can jump over a
- 23:51Speaker 2: fence with a knife and run out, why wouldn't you
- 23:55Speaker 2: have Anyway, we're digressing, but.
- 23:57Speaker 4: You could use that argument sitting at a cafe in
- 24:00Speaker 4: Hampton Street. If we're sitting there at a cafe, someone
- 24:02Speaker 4: could just rush up to you. Of course I could
- 24:05Speaker 4: take my button knife and spread my jam over you.
- 24:11Speaker 2: You're very argumentative today. It doesn't matter what I suggest,
- 24:14Speaker 2: you don't agree with anything. Like what is what is
- 24:17Speaker 2: wrong with you today? It's like you're never like it.
- 24:21Speaker 2: That's a good idea, Craig, Like, it's so fucking controversial.
- 24:25Speaker 1: What's wrong with you?
- 24:26Speaker 4: Have you?
- 24:27Speaker 1: Are you? Did you not sleep? Are you hungry? Are
- 24:29Speaker 1: you in a bad mood?
- 24:31Speaker 4: The fuck?
- 24:35Speaker 1: Stop being so Stop being so objectionable to everything.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Stop saying dumb stuff and then I'll agree with you.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Oh, I rest my case.
- 24:44Speaker 2: What staying that we should protect our elite athletes at
- 24:47Speaker 2: the Australian Open is a dumb thing after somebody got stabbed?
- 24:52Speaker 4: Really happened often Unfortunately, the reality of it is, do
- 24:56Speaker 4: we want to live in a police state where everything
- 24:59Speaker 4: we is monitored? Because of the fact that.
- 25:02Speaker 2: What has that got to do with a person? A
- 25:05Speaker 2: police state? Talk about go to the fucking extreme. I'm saying,
- 25:08Speaker 2: let's just protect our athletes from being stabbed, and you
- 25:11Speaker 2: bring it up to, oh, do we want to live
- 25:13Speaker 2: in a police state? No we don't, but let's not
- 25:16Speaker 2: let people get stabbed, shall we?
- 25:18Speaker 4: How many people get stabbed at the Australian Open? None?
- 25:21Speaker 4: One No, that wasn't at the Australian Open.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Yes it was. It wasn't wherever it was, whatever, whatever
- 25:28Speaker 1: event it was.
- 25:29Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is the majority of people do
- 25:32Speaker 4: the right thing, and there's always going to be a
- 25:34Speaker 4: wild card factor where someone is going to do something
- 25:38Speaker 4: bad to somebody, whatever, wherever it happens to be, and unfortunately,
- 25:42Speaker 4: you know, how do you combat that. I don't know
- 25:44Speaker 4: that there is a way to do that. But the
- 25:46Speaker 4: good thing is most people do the right thing at
- 25:48Speaker 4: the right at the right time. So I think that's
- 25:51Speaker 4: you know.
- 25:52Speaker 2: You could say that, you could say that, for like,
- 25:54Speaker 2: most people are not going to steal your money, but
- 25:56Speaker 2: we still prepare for that. Most people are not going
- 25:58Speaker 2: to hack your computer, but we still prepare for that.
- 26:01Speaker 4: Well, that's why when people go to big events like
- 26:03Speaker 4: the Australian Open, they have their bags checked when they
- 26:06Speaker 4: go in. They make sure that they you know, that
- 26:09Speaker 4: people go through They have metal detectors and stuff like that,
- 26:12Speaker 4: so you know, whether it's a concert or a sporting event,
- 26:15Speaker 4: they do have preventive measures and they do try to
- 26:17Speaker 4: flag if they think that there might be someone who
- 26:19Speaker 4: might be problematic, and there is security entrances and security
- 26:23Speaker 4: on the gates of most of the venues. But you know,
- 26:26Speaker 4: I kind of don't know whether you're suggesting that there'd
- 26:29Speaker 4: be you know, ten burly blokes standing there at the
- 26:31Speaker 4: end of the court ready to run in. I think
- 26:33Speaker 4: that just seems excessive.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Well, I think burley blokes or burley women for that matter,
- 26:38Speaker 2: and I don't.
- 26:39Speaker 1: I just mean very cap just.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Put exactly, and by that I mean very capable female ninjas.
- 26:47Speaker 4: We know as quickly.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I want to ask you.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Patrick, so regarding TikTok, what so is it back on?
- 26:55Speaker 2: So we're recording this on the twenty fourth Friday. Is
- 26:58Speaker 2: it back on in the States or what?
- 27:00Speaker 4: For a very short time? Yeah? Yeah, it's back on.
- 27:02Speaker 4: As soon as Trump gone in it went back on again.
- 27:04Speaker 4: But it was only a very short time, I believe.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Did you notice also that he came out and he went,
- 27:09Speaker 2: by the way, we're going to do petrol cars. We're
- 27:12Speaker 2: gonna yeah, by the way. He didn't say fuck electric cars,
- 27:16Speaker 2: but he almost did, now you know it.
- 27:18Speaker 4: Interestingly, in Norway they're now almost all electric. They're going
- 27:22Speaker 4: to be a country in the world to go all electric,
- 27:25Speaker 4: which is kind of interesting and technically, I think in
- 27:28Speaker 4: TikTok it was twelve hours after shutting it down, it
- 27:31Speaker 4: went back on again, so it was only twelve hours.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Hey, tell me about mirror, mirror on the wall. I'm
- 27:37Speaker 1: looking at your list. I'm interested in that.
- 27:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been looking into tech. That was so ces.
- 27:43Speaker 4: The Consumer Electronics Show was in Las Vegas, not that
- 27:46Speaker 4: long ago. It comes up around January every year and
- 27:49Speaker 4: it's just this massive, massive event where all the new
- 27:52Speaker 4: consumer products get showcased. And what's becoming more and more
- 27:56Speaker 4: interesting is the kind of a holistic way of monoching
- 28:00Speaker 4: our health. So when you use a health tracker, say
- 28:02Speaker 4: it's a smart watch pulling all that information together. Smart scales.
- 28:07Speaker 4: I got some smart scales for Christmas. So when I
- 28:09Speaker 4: step on my scales, it measures my BMI, my body fat,
- 28:13Speaker 4: all that sort of stuff, and it tracks my weight
- 28:16Speaker 4: over the week. And I get onto the scale, I
- 28:18Speaker 4: cry a little bit or I smile a little bit,
- 28:21Speaker 4: depending on what day it is.
- 28:24Speaker 1: But how often do you cry?
- 28:27Speaker 2: Oh?
- 28:27Speaker 4: Not often? No, But you know, if your wait goes up,
- 28:29Speaker 4: you feel a bit bad, don't you, And then if
- 28:31Speaker 4: it goes down, you feel a bit woo. I kind
- 28:33Speaker 4: of need a Homer Simpson. You know the whoo, it's
- 28:36Speaker 4: good and it's like dog let it's down.
- 28:39Speaker 2: But how much can I If you're a dude, so
- 28:43Speaker 2: I can ask this, how much do you weigh? Oh?
- 28:46Speaker 4: It varies between about sixty eight kilos and maybe sixty
- 28:52Speaker 4: nine kilos?
- 28:54Speaker 1: What what?
- 28:56Speaker 5: What?
- 28:56Speaker 2: Okay?
- 28:57Speaker 1: So if you get on your sixty nine a, it's sad.
- 29:01Speaker 1: The fuck is wrong with you?
- 29:05Speaker 4: But how much to you?
- 29:07Speaker 2: Oh? Wait, eighty five? Ishy, it depends eighty four to
- 29:12Speaker 2: eighty six.
- 29:13Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're a bigger burlier blake than me, as
- 29:15Speaker 4: we kind of pointed out earlier.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Ye dysfunctional, useless, bigger burly bloke allegedly.
- 29:22Speaker 3: How much to paint it on arms? Way?
- 29:27Speaker 2: Last night one of the blokes in the gym said
- 29:30Speaker 2: to me, he said, do they have a lost and
- 29:33Speaker 2: found here? And I go yep, And he goes, well,
- 29:37Speaker 2: I might go up and see if I can find
- 29:38Speaker 2: your shoulders. I'm like, that was pretty hurtful. It was
- 29:47Speaker 2: fucking funny, though, I'm like, that is great, that is great.
- 29:52Speaker 2: It fucking it hurt me mortally because I don't have
- 29:57Speaker 2: I have quite big delts like the muscles, but my
- 30:00Speaker 2: actual clavicular with is not so I don't have really
- 30:05Speaker 2: naturally wide swimmer sholders.
- 30:07Speaker 1: But it was really hurtful. But it was so fucking
- 30:10Speaker 1: funny that I just had to laugh.
- 30:13Speaker 4: So the other day and I can't tell it. Can
- 30:16Speaker 4: I tell the joke? And then TIF cut it out
- 30:18Speaker 4: if we think it's inappropriate? And I can't even say that.
- 30:20Speaker 4: Now it's still out of No, you can't. You can't it,
- 30:23Speaker 4: is it? See?
- 30:26Speaker 1: Is it insulting to any group of people?
- 30:30Speaker 4: Yes? Actually, yeah, let's not talk about it. I'll tell you.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Then you definitely can't.
- 30:34Speaker 2: And everybody's like, please, no, no, hold them the start
- 30:39Speaker 2: of it and they can look it up themselves. By
- 30:41Speaker 2: the way, you didn't finish telling us about mirror mirror.
- 30:44Speaker 2: What the fuck does this mirror do?
- 30:47Speaker 4: So now you can get smart mirrors. So what they
- 30:50Speaker 4: do is they bring together the technology like smart scales,
- 30:55Speaker 4: smart watches and integrate them so that when you are
- 30:58Speaker 4: looking in the mirror, you can you can to your
- 31:00Speaker 4: heart rate, blood pressure, and so this smart tech, and
- 31:05Speaker 4: this was a conceptual thing, this smart technology, because you
- 31:07Speaker 4: can get smart mirrors. Now, Oh, hi Fritz, sorry that
- 31:10Speaker 4: mis Fritz just saying hello, you can get smart tech
- 31:13Speaker 4: now that includes smart mirrors so that they look like
- 31:16Speaker 4: a normal mirror, and then you can bring up a
- 31:19Speaker 4: screen that overlays as I said, heart rate, blood pressure,
- 31:22Speaker 4: that sort of stuff. So the idea being is that
- 31:26Speaker 4: when you incorporate the idea of AI to monitor all
- 31:29Speaker 4: these what seemingly are unrelated, you know, monitoring devices like
- 31:35Speaker 4: your scales or your smart watch, it then puts it
- 31:39Speaker 4: all together and you're able to be given that that
- 31:42Speaker 4: kind of overall holistic health monitoring. So if you're if
- 31:46Speaker 4: you're you know, if your weights being tracking too high,
- 31:49Speaker 4: if it picks up your heart rate going up at
- 31:52Speaker 4: a time when it shouldn't be going up, those are
- 31:54Speaker 4: the types of things that these smart mirrors will pull
- 31:57Speaker 4: it all together. And it's something that you get on
- 31:59Speaker 4: your scales in the morning, you stand in front of
- 32:01Speaker 4: the mirror and you can see an overview of what
- 32:03Speaker 4: your health situation.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Is other than make you cry. Your scales. What the
- 32:08Speaker 2: ones the smart scales one? What do they tell you?
- 32:12Speaker 2: What's the data that you get, where did you get them?
- 32:15Speaker 2: And how much did they cost give or take.
- 32:18Speaker 4: Man I think the scale, I don't think the scale
- 32:20Speaker 4: was very expensive I'm trying to think it might have
- 32:22Speaker 4: been maybe ninety bucks, ninety one hundred bucks.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Do you have to stand on in bare feet to
- 32:27Speaker 2: get the body? Does it give body composition?
- 32:30Speaker 4: Well, what it does is sometimes it tells me to
- 32:33Speaker 4: get back on the scales. So it's called UFI Life.
- 32:37Speaker 4: I'm just bringing up the app on my phone now
- 32:39Speaker 4: because I'm going to I'm looking at the analytics. But
- 32:41Speaker 4: it gives you b and my body fat. You've got
- 32:44Speaker 4: a goal and a weight. Gosh, the graph goes up
- 32:46Speaker 4: and down a lot. I'm just going to show you that.
- 32:48Speaker 4: I don't think you can see it. Yeah, yeah, it
- 32:51Speaker 4: shows you know, yeah, the overall amount. It talks about calories,
- 32:56Speaker 4: so I guess the idea is just overall tracking. I mean,
- 33:01Speaker 4: I don't know me engage it's mate. I just saw it.
- 33:03Speaker 4: It was on sale. I thought I need that.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Can I ask what it tells you your body fat
- 33:08Speaker 2: percentage is?
- 33:09Speaker 4: Since it's twenty two point eight, is that bad?
- 33:13Speaker 2: No?
- 33:13Speaker 1: That's all right? Is that's all right? Yeah?
- 33:17Speaker 2: It's I would say you're not I would say you're
- 33:20Speaker 2: not twenty two point eight.
- 33:21Speaker 1: I would say that's not accurate.
- 33:23Speaker 2: I would guess your body fat percentage, and I've measured
- 33:28Speaker 2: probably over ten thousand people's body fat. I would think
- 33:31Speaker 2: you are between sixteen and nineteen. Okay, so I think
- 33:38Speaker 2: that's high. But also you've got to remember everyone who's
- 33:40Speaker 2: listening to this, who goes, I'm going to go get
- 33:42Speaker 2: some scales that tell me, you know, like without trying
- 33:46Speaker 2: to get exercise science, dude, But like your wait matters,
- 33:50Speaker 2: but it matters to a point, like really what is
- 33:54Speaker 2: most important as body composition. So let's say Patrick and
- 33:56Speaker 2: I are similar height. I'm a little bit taller, but
- 33:58Speaker 2: not a lot, but he's now twenty kilos lighter than me.
- 34:03Speaker 2: But we could have a similar body fat percentage despite
- 34:07Speaker 2: the fact that I'm twenty kilos heavier.
- 34:09Speaker 1: And that's not bad.
- 34:10Speaker 2: That's just a bit more muscle and maybe different bone
- 34:14Speaker 2: density or whatever. But being lighter is in general terms,
- 34:19Speaker 2: depending very general terms, it's probably better, but it's not
- 34:24Speaker 2: necessarily better. So and also, those those ninety dollars scales
- 34:31Speaker 2: from a like they use a thing called bioelectrical impedance,
- 34:34Speaker 2: which is when you're standing on it, it's at the
- 34:40Speaker 2: very best, it's kind of a guess. But the good
- 34:43Speaker 2: thing about those is that using the same essentially the
- 34:47Speaker 2: same tool and the same protocol, So in that sense
- 34:50Speaker 2: you're going to get some consistency.
- 34:52Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just I'm glad that you brought that up,
- 34:54Speaker 4: because what it does is it has two sensors for
- 34:57Speaker 4: each foot, so you've got these little round discs and
- 35:01Speaker 4: sometimes it asks you to get back on the scale
- 35:03Speaker 4: make sure your feet are dry. But I'm assuming that
- 35:05Speaker 4: it's electrical conductivity through your body from and that's it
- 35:09Speaker 4: finds out what your body fat in next.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Is exactly, and how hot hydrated you are or aren'ts
- 35:15Speaker 2: can affect that because it basically measures how quickly those
- 35:18Speaker 2: electrical impulses move through your body. When I was fat,
- 35:23Speaker 2: I used to get on the scales and I'd say
- 35:25Speaker 2: one at a time.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Please.
- 35:30Speaker 2: That's an oldie, but a good isn't it. Which that
- 35:33Speaker 2: used to hurt my feelings as well. Hey, tell us
- 35:40Speaker 2: about Instagram debuts video editing, Like, I'm an instagrammer, is this?
- 35:47Speaker 1: Can I use this?
- 35:48Speaker 4: Well? This is because of the TikTok thing, because Instagram
- 35:51Speaker 4: hasn't traditionally had those sorts of tools that are built
- 35:54Speaker 4: into TikTok. But with all this noise going on particularly
- 35:58Speaker 4: in the US, it's such a massive market and if suddenly,
- 36:01Speaker 4: you know TikTokers can't tick their tok, then wow, well.
- 36:05Speaker 2: That sounds sexual, but okay, well it just.
- 36:09Speaker 4: Means if they're giving them similar tools, people are going
- 36:11Speaker 4: to jump platforms because don't.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Come in, I'm ticking my talk, get out, shut the door.
- 36:19Speaker 4: So it makes sense that they're going to try to
- 36:23Speaker 4: you know, Instagram is trying to put in video editing
- 36:25Speaker 4: tools to match what TikTok already offers, because everyone's going
- 36:28Speaker 4: to try to get the tens of millions of people
- 36:31Speaker 4: who are using it, and if you can offer platform,
- 36:34Speaker 4: it's going to give them the same way to do it,
- 36:35Speaker 4: if you can download all your data, because the thing
- 36:37Speaker 4: is that the band is still going to go ahead,
- 36:39Speaker 4: but now they's giving people more time. So they had
- 36:42Speaker 4: twelve hours without it, and it means you can download
- 36:45Speaker 4: all your videos and of course people are going to
- 36:47Speaker 4: want to upload them to another platform, and it makes
- 36:49Speaker 4: perfect sense that if you can do it on Insta
- 36:51Speaker 4: and they give you all the tools to do it,
- 36:53Speaker 4: then it's a smart move by Instagram. When you think
- 36:55Speaker 4: about it, Are you on Instagram? No, I'm not on
- 36:58Speaker 4: any social media. I mean, look, the business that I
- 37:02Speaker 4: run does do social media management, so I have to
- 37:05Speaker 4: have accounts to be able to manage my client accounts
- 37:07Speaker 4: and business accounts. But I've got a one of my colleagues, Robert,
- 37:11Speaker 4: does all of that stuff. I'm bloody hopeless. I kind
- 37:13Speaker 4: of stopped using social media maybe about seven years ago.
- 37:17Speaker 4: I just look. I used to and there's still occasionally
- 37:21Speaker 4: old post. You know, when I was doing my podcast regularly,
- 37:24Speaker 4: I'd be posting the artwork from the podcast and little
- 37:26Speaker 4: snippets and all that sort of thing. But to be honest,
- 37:29Speaker 4: I found one of the challenges. See Instagram. I like
- 37:32Speaker 4: to use a lot because I take lots and lots
- 37:34Speaker 4: and lots of photos. T If I send your photos
- 37:36Speaker 4: and stuff, you know, you know, I really enjoyed. I've
- 37:38Speaker 4: got a good friend in Germany and we send photos
- 37:42Speaker 4: of plants, you know, like scenery and stuff like that,
- 37:44Speaker 4: and it's really nice. But I found myself uploading photos
- 37:49Speaker 4: and then deciding whether or not the photos were good
- 37:52Speaker 4: enough based on the reaction other people had. And now
- 37:55Speaker 4: I don't give a shit. I don't care what other
- 37:57Speaker 4: people think of my photos. If I get in I
- 38:00Speaker 4: ooymn out of taking a photo of a sunrise, a landscape,
- 38:04Speaker 4: a beautiful scene, and that's all that matters to me.
- 38:07Speaker 4: And I just found that I was becoming too reliant
- 38:10Speaker 4: dependent on likes and ticks and you know, thumbs ups
- 38:13Speaker 4: and all that sort of thing, and I think that
- 38:15Speaker 4: it can really dictate your state of mind, and it's
- 38:20Speaker 4: and I pulled out of it seven years ago. I
- 38:22Speaker 4: just thought, I don't really care. I don't want to
- 38:24Speaker 4: know what people are doing. I don't want to get
- 38:25Speaker 4: stuck down the rabbit hole. And it's very easy to
- 38:28Speaker 4: do that when you're flicking through and scrolling, you the
- 38:30Speaker 4: whole thumb scroll and you just read the next one
- 38:33Speaker 4: and the next one and the next one, and you know,
- 38:35Speaker 4: you think, I've just spent forty minutes looking at stupid
- 38:38Speaker 4: video clips of things that really, you know, don't really
- 38:41Speaker 4: mean anything to the great grand scheme of things. Tiff
- 38:44Speaker 4: just sent me something. Now I'm going to jump off.
- 38:45Speaker 3: He said it asn't pay attention.
- 38:48Speaker 5: And the minute I sent him a photo, he looks
- 38:50Speaker 5: at it as soon as I did it.
- 38:52Speaker 4: It's Luna, it's TIFF's dog, and she's sent it on WhatsApp.
- 38:56Speaker 4: I use WhatsApp because that's why I can connect directly
- 38:58Speaker 4: with my friends. But Tiff sends me some gorgeous photos
- 39:02Speaker 4: of Luna. You know.
- 39:03Speaker 2: That's how I just say, don't let the listeners and
- 39:05Speaker 2: I get in the way. You two, like, do you
- 39:07Speaker 2: want do you want us to give you the room?
- 39:09Speaker 2: Do you want us to do you want me to
- 39:10Speaker 2: pull the shades and fuck off?
- 39:12Speaker 4: Because Luna is a cute dog. Come on, Crago, you've
- 39:15Speaker 4: met Luna. She is beautiful.
- 39:17Speaker 2: Well that's not in doubt. It's just that that nobody
- 39:20Speaker 2: can see that picture except you.
- 39:22Speaker 4: Two, but they can take my word that it's she.
- 39:25Speaker 2: Is beautiful, like you Patrick, you're beautiful. Tell us about
- 39:29Speaker 2: three D printed guns.
- 39:32Speaker 4: This has become a bit of a worry because there's
- 39:34Speaker 4: you know, it's like any tool that's out there, good
- 39:37Speaker 4: and bad. So NASA, for example, are now using three
- 39:40Speaker 4: D printing technology to make really really efficient, cheaply produced
- 39:46Speaker 4: like transmitting to what do they call them, like trans transmitters.
- 39:50Speaker 4: The I don't have a little connector things that like, ye, totay,
- 39:55Speaker 4: I don't ask us to Yeah, I'm trying to describe
- 39:59Speaker 4: something that was kind of s there in the back
- 40:00Speaker 4: of my head. But anyway, NASA is using three D
- 40:03Speaker 4: printing to make little radar dishes. Will say, I'll look
- 40:08Speaker 4: into that in a minute. It'll come back to me.
- 40:10Speaker 4: But the contrast being that there has been a big
- 40:15Speaker 4: upsurge and what they're calling ghost guns. Okay, so this
- 40:18Speaker 4: is here in Australia we're talking about, so not overseas.
- 40:21Speaker 4: The problem is that we heard about the idea of
- 40:25Speaker 4: three D printing guns a few years ago, but the
- 40:28Speaker 4: technology wasn't quite there yet because the filaments or the
- 40:32Speaker 4: elements that are used to make these three D objects
- 40:34Speaker 4: so effectively. A three D printer is a printer that layers.
- 40:37Speaker 4: So when you think of a printer that you use
- 40:39Speaker 4: to print pictures, you've got a flat surface. You could
- 40:42Speaker 4: almost say it was two D, a flat surface that
- 40:45Speaker 4: that prints a picture.
- 40:46Speaker 1: But if you unlike a motorbike.
- 40:48Speaker 4: As you start layering that, if you imagine that the
- 40:51Speaker 4: ink then goes into layers and layers and higher and
- 40:54Speaker 4: it becomes three D. It has debt like a motorbike.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Barklp deep, it has depth. Unlike Patrick, stop it just kidding,
- 41:08Speaker 2: just kidding, We love you, but you did say my
- 41:10Speaker 2: arms were painted on.
- 41:11Speaker 4: Yeah, true, because you remember a few years ago there
- 41:14Speaker 4: was that healthcare executive that got assassinated in New York.
- 41:19Speaker 4: It's believed that the guy who is.
- 41:22Speaker 1: That was like a month ago.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Wasn't that long ago? Yeah? Well, it was a three
- 41:26Speaker 4: D printed gun with a three D printed silencer attached
- 41:29Speaker 4: to it. And so the concern is straighted now, I
- 41:31Speaker 4: guess everywhere is that there are no there's no codes,
- 41:36Speaker 4: there's no markings on the guns. They can be printed
- 41:39Speaker 4: on a domestic printer, and that's a big concern, and
- 41:43Speaker 4: so they're calling them ghost guns. There's no way to
- 41:46Speaker 4: track them. You know. One of the big things that
- 41:48Speaker 4: happened one of the you know, it's terrible when you
- 41:51Speaker 4: get these massacres, and we saw that in Tasmania. What
- 41:54Speaker 4: was it twenty years ago? Twenty five years ago?
- 41:56Speaker 1: Way more? Yeah, like thirty Port Arthur was like the eighties,
- 41:59Speaker 1: I think.
- 42:00Speaker 4: But the thing, no, I think it was later in
- 42:01Speaker 4: that he might have been the early nineties. But you're right,
- 42:03Speaker 4: actually probably laid eighties, early nineties. But the thing is
- 42:06Speaker 4: that John Howard is revered almost in the United States
- 42:09Speaker 4: as the Australian Prime minister who got rid of guns,
- 42:12Speaker 4: you know, to remember those really vivid scenes of guns
- 42:15Speaker 4: being you know, squashed up and destroyed. And he is
- 42:19Speaker 4: used as not a test case per se, but put
- 42:23Speaker 4: up on a pedestal as somebody he probably needed to
- 42:25Speaker 4: because he was pretty short, but put up on a
- 42:27Speaker 4: pedestal as somebody who did something pretty amazing by getting
- 42:30Speaker 4: rid of all those firearms. And now there's a real
- 42:33Speaker 4: concern with law enforcement, with police around the country that
- 42:36Speaker 4: it's now becoming so easy to three D print these
- 42:39Speaker 4: weapons and they look like mirth guns, they look like
- 42:43Speaker 4: you know, two but they're actually really functioning guns. So
- 42:46Speaker 4: that's a real problem at the moment.
- 42:48Speaker 2: That well, I mean, crooks and criminals are creative, mate'll
- 42:52Speaker 2: they'll do whatever they can to you know, because getting
- 42:55Speaker 2: a gun in Australia, I mean you can't really, it's
- 42:58Speaker 2: very all you can and it's very difficult. But a
- 43:00Speaker 2: nine ninety six by the way, so you were more right,
- 43:03Speaker 2: you were more correct than I was.
- 43:08Speaker 1: What are they?
- 43:09Speaker 2: They are they made of a because some of the
- 43:12Speaker 2: ones I've seen a while ago though they were made
- 43:14Speaker 2: of a like a like a polomar, like a plastic
- 43:17Speaker 2: or something. These ones three D printed that or are
- 43:21Speaker 2: they metal or are they some other material.
- 43:25Speaker 4: They're just a tough and plastic. They use a filament,
- 43:27Speaker 4: so it works. These different methods for three D printing.
- 43:29Speaker 4: Some of them use a fluid and they pass a
- 43:32Speaker 4: laser or a light through it that then hardens and
- 43:35Speaker 4: forms the three D objects. So if you imagine a
- 43:37Speaker 4: cylinder full of fluid, you pass the light through it,
- 43:40Speaker 4: but the light is directed to in layers effectively to
- 43:44Speaker 4: build up the object, and then when you take it
- 43:45Speaker 4: out of the fluid, the only the part that's been
- 43:48Speaker 4: touched by the light or the laser is what solidifies.
- 43:51Speaker 4: But generally, I think most people when they think of
- 43:53Speaker 4: three D printing, they just think of a filament. So
- 43:55Speaker 4: you know, you've got a a spool of a plastic.
- 43:59Speaker 4: But they've been been able to now make these filaments
- 44:02Speaker 4: a lot more, a lot harder, and which means if
- 44:05Speaker 4: you were manufacturing a fake gum generally now that the
- 44:09Speaker 4: plastics are toughened plastics, so they're just using and I
- 44:12Speaker 4: think ceramics are kind of being used as well, and
- 44:14Speaker 4: there are metal printers as well. But learn is that
- 44:18Speaker 4: the cheapest end of the line has now got to
- 44:21Speaker 4: a higher standard because there's two aspects to it is
- 44:24Speaker 4: resolution of the printer. So the early three D printers
- 44:27Speaker 4: were a bit chunky, a bit like playing Minecraft. Am
- 44:30Speaker 4: I going to ailienate? I say, Minecraft? There is any
- 44:32Speaker 4: movie coming out about Minecraft? Looks really fun? So Minecraft
- 44:35Speaker 4: is the game where it's all blocky, Yeah, pixelated space invaders,
- 44:39Speaker 4: lots of blocks that make up the picture rather than lots,
- 44:41Speaker 4: and so the more dots, the higher the resolution. Yeah. Anyway,
- 44:44Speaker 4: so the three D printing technology has got a higher resolution,
- 44:49Speaker 4: which means what you're producing is actually is going to
- 44:52Speaker 4: be better quality and more toughened.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Just quickly.
- 44:55Speaker 2: Last one, which is not on your list, but it's
- 44:57Speaker 2: on my list. I wanted to ask you. So maybe
- 45:00Speaker 2: three or four months ago, you very cleverly introed the
- 45:04Speaker 2: show and then interviewed fake me with pre prepared responses
- 45:08Speaker 2: where you had I don't know what the correct term is,
- 45:11Speaker 2: but you'd stolen.
- 45:12Speaker 1: My voice and what do you call it? When you
- 45:14Speaker 1: do that?
- 45:15Speaker 2: You'd basically you'd sampled my voice and then you'd I
- 45:20Speaker 2: used AI and a.
- 45:21Speaker 4: Voice generator to yep.
- 45:25Speaker 2: Yeah, So basically you can type something in and use
- 45:28Speaker 2: this use my voice and get me to in inverted
- 45:31Speaker 2: commas say anything right. Well, as I was listening to
- 45:34Speaker 2: this book, this thirteen hour book I was telling you
- 45:37Speaker 2: about at the top of the show, I was thinking,
- 45:40Speaker 2: like the days of voice actors and that are going
- 45:43Speaker 2: to be maybe a thing of the past eventually. Like
- 45:46Speaker 2: with these scripts, you could just get this, you know,
- 45:51Speaker 2: AI generated voice in inverted commas to read entire books flawlessly.
- 45:57Speaker 4: Well, actually, it's a very interesting point you bring up,
- 45:59Speaker 4: because Audible is already doing that with their paid actors.
- 46:03Speaker 4: They're giving them licensing fees to use their voices so
- 46:06Speaker 4: they can churn out books a lot more quickly as
- 46:08Speaker 4: you can imagine having a real person read an audio
- 46:11Speaker 4: book and get it produced. You've got to be in
- 46:13Speaker 4: front of the microphone, and as a human being, a
- 46:16Speaker 4: twenty hour book or an eleven hour book is a
- 46:18Speaker 4: lot to read so in one sitting, and you'd have
- 46:21Speaker 4: to get it produced, whereas if you're using AI. So
- 46:24Speaker 4: Audible announced last year for the first time they were
- 46:27Speaker 4: going to be using some of their voice actors sampled
- 46:30Speaker 4: voices to read audiobooks so they can churn them out quicker.
- 46:34Speaker 4: But they're going to be paying licensing fees and another
- 46:37Speaker 4: interesting story that I was going to chat about, and
- 46:38Speaker 4: this is a nice little segue the movie The Brutalist
- 46:41Speaker 4: that is coming out at the moment. In fact, I
- 46:44Speaker 4: was going to go to seed it at the weekend.
- 46:46Speaker 4: That's a movie. It's a true story about a brutalism.
- 46:50Speaker 4: Is that this is an architectural design style and it's
- 46:54Speaker 4: about a guy fleeing Europe who was a Jewish guy
- 46:57Speaker 4: who came to the United States became a very famous architect.
- 47:01Speaker 4: And what they did was because I think it's I'm
- 47:05Speaker 4: going to say Hungarian, but the accent is really specific,
- 47:09Speaker 4: this Jewish Hungarian accent. And because the actors, you know,
- 47:13Speaker 4: weren't able to quite get it, they've used AI technology
- 47:17Speaker 4: to sample their voices and make their accent sound more authentic.
- 47:22Speaker 4: Now to replace the voice, they've just used this AI
- 47:26Speaker 4: tech to tweak the voice a little bit to make
- 47:29Speaker 4: the actors sound more authentic to the region there. And
- 47:33Speaker 4: I think it's Hungarian, but wherever it is. So if
- 47:36Speaker 4: you would acting and doing an American voice, and Australians
- 47:39Speaker 4: are really good at doing an American voice, but if
- 47:41Speaker 4: you weren't quite right, if you wanted a Savannah voice
- 47:44Speaker 4: and not a New York voice. Then they would be
- 47:47Speaker 4: able to tweak that so that you would have the
- 47:50Speaker 4: right accent.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Did you know they've been doing that one?
- 47:53Speaker 2: That's fucking fascinating and makes total sense, But I can't remember.
- 47:59Speaker 2: I'm if this is not right, it's close to right.
- 48:02Speaker 2: So there's a thing called audio tuning.
- 48:06Speaker 4: If this is not right, it's close to right, it's.
- 48:08Speaker 1: Either yeah, but I could say.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Stop it, okay, So I think the term is audio
- 48:18Speaker 2: tuning where singers who were not quite in tune they
- 48:23Speaker 2: use tech to basically make them sing in tune, which
- 48:25Speaker 2: is why some artists when you hear them live, are
- 48:29Speaker 2: fucking terrible. Oh yes, because their voice has been manipulated
- 48:33Speaker 2: in production and the record's awesome, but live they sound
- 48:37Speaker 2: like dogshit.
- 48:39Speaker 4: Remember Millie Vanilli was, Well, they didn't they didn't even sing.
- 48:42Speaker 4: They mind, they.
- 48:45Speaker 2: Didn't even sing. They were just a fucking they were
- 48:47Speaker 2: just musical frauds. Hey, we're going to go tell people
- 48:51Speaker 2: how they can find you and get some of those
- 48:54Speaker 2: ninety dollars scales.
- 48:56Speaker 4: I don't even please don't quote me on the price
- 48:58Speaker 4: the youthy scales. And I can't exactly remember what they
- 49:01Speaker 4: are websites now is the name of well, it's not
- 49:05Speaker 4: the name of my business. Actually, did I tell you
- 49:07Speaker 4: that I set up a new company structure. Now I've
- 49:10Speaker 4: now called my business Bigger on the inside media, trading
- 49:13Speaker 4: as Genesis Effects. Not that anyone cares about that, but yeah.
- 49:17Speaker 1: I'm not sure why you shared that, but okay.
- 49:19Speaker 4: Well because it's kind of cool. You know how long
- 49:22Speaker 4: it took me to be two days to.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Try to Why didn't you just call it the tatis.
- 49:27Speaker 4: No, because it has a doctor who reference for people
- 49:29Speaker 4: who get it, but people who don't get it. Bigger
- 49:31Speaker 4: on the inside media, it means we're small, but we
- 49:33Speaker 4: do lots of big things. So I thought that there's
- 49:36Speaker 4: representative of what we do because we do we do
- 49:38Speaker 4: lots of stuff and no more. Just go to websites
- 49:42Speaker 4: now dot com.
- 49:43Speaker 1: You could have just done that.
