- 0:01Speaker 1: I'll get a team before we get under way. Today,
- 0:02Speaker 1: a blatant plug for me upcome a new mentoring program.
- 0:06Speaker 1: As you know, I do me best to keep the
- 0:09Speaker 1: advertising for my own programs to a minimum on this
- 0:11Speaker 1: show because I think it's kind of annoying. But fuck it,
- 0:14Speaker 1: today I'm breaking my own rule. So on July thirty,
- 0:18Speaker 1: my new eight week online mentoring Extravaganza kicks off. And
- 0:24Speaker 1: I've created this program for people who want to get
- 0:26Speaker 1: more out of their time, talent, genetics, potential, skills, career
- 0:32Speaker 1: and resources what they've got at their disposal. People who
- 0:36Speaker 1: want to move above and beyond the groundhog danus of
- 0:39Speaker 1: unconscious repetition, of frustration, of self sabotage and overthinking and underdoing,
- 0:45Speaker 1: and the destructive habits and rituals, and the crappy results
- 0:49Speaker 1: and the perpetual waiting for the right time that never comes.
- 0:54Speaker 1: We'll be unpacking the human experience from a psychological, emotional, sociological,
- 0:59Speaker 1: phys logical, your body and behavioral perspective, and there'll be
- 1:03Speaker 1: lots of room and time for interaction, conversation, and Q
- 1:07Speaker 1: and A. So, if that doesn't sound terrible and you'd
- 1:10Speaker 1: like to find out a little bit more about the program.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Go to me website, me website and take a peek
- 1:18Speaker 1: at the very detailed eight week overview. So just go
- 1:21Speaker 1: to me dot com. Well, no, it's not really, it's
- 1:24Speaker 1: actually Craigharper one word dot net, click on education and
- 1:28Speaker 1: see what's up. Alrighty on with the show. O good
- 1:32Speaker 1: a team. It's you project, It's Tiffany and Cook, It's Patrick,
- 1:35Speaker 1: James Banelo, Craig, Anthony Harper. Once in a while we
- 1:40Speaker 1: get together and talk about nothing in particular. We're really
- 1:43Speaker 1: good at it, well, we think, so we'll start with
- 1:47Speaker 1: the lady, because that's been polite morning. Patrick.
- 1:53Speaker 2: He's already fired a broadside, nice one. He cuts off
- 1:56Speaker 2: our lovely conversation, Tip, and then he fires a broadside
- 2:00Speaker 2: at me. Hi, Craigo, how are you well?
- 2:03Speaker 1: You don't mind at all, And we all know that
- 2:05Speaker 1: Tips a little bit more bloky than you. I mean,
- 2:07Speaker 1: we've established that you know that she knows that, and
- 2:12Speaker 1: that's all okay. In twenty twenty five, everything's okay. How
- 2:17Speaker 1: have you been?
- 2:18Speaker 2: Oh, look, I've been okay. It's been an interesting week.
- 2:21Speaker 2: I've had some fun jobs to do, but I actually
- 2:23Speaker 2: had a stye on my eye that got infected. It
- 2:27Speaker 2: was really yep. So I've been battling an itchy You know,
- 2:30Speaker 2: there's nothing worse than an itchy eye that you can't scratch,
- 2:33Speaker 2: don't you reckon?
- 2:35Speaker 1: There's probably a couple of things worse, like cancer, But
- 2:38Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know that that's the worst thing.
- 2:41Speaker 1: But I don't know.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Qu feel for you.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're saying.
- 2:47Speaker 2: No, thank you, tiff this.
- 2:49Speaker 1: I love it when people say there's nothing worse. I'm like, well,
- 2:52Speaker 1: not true, it's true.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Okay, you're right, I shouldn't Yeah, you're be literal and
- 2:57Speaker 2: I yep, thank you for clapifying that. Again, could get
- 3:00Speaker 2: the facts right on the segment.
- 3:03Speaker 1: But you do have my empathy, it is. And you know,
- 3:05Speaker 1: what shit when you've got a really itchy I and
- 3:07Speaker 1: of course you can't fucking scratch it.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Actually they're talking about what shit is? This is so funny.
- 3:13Speaker 2: So one of the jobs we had this week, Monday
- 3:15Speaker 2: was the nicest day. It was very fortunate because we
- 3:17Speaker 2: went and did some filming for a client that is
- 3:21Speaker 2: called h SP Advanced Equine. So there's two arms to
- 3:25Speaker 2: the business. One's a charity where they basically rescue horses
- 3:28Speaker 2: and goats and camels and a whole lot of stuff.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And they've got this new horse float that lowers itself
- 3:37Speaker 2: to the ground, making it easier for the horses to
- 3:40Speaker 2: get on and off and to get in and out,
- 3:42Speaker 2: and that sort of thing, which is actually a very
- 3:43Speaker 2: big thing if you've got an injured horse. And so
- 3:45Speaker 2: they wanted us to film it, so I had my drone.
- 3:47Speaker 2: I love when I get to go fly my drone
- 3:50Speaker 2: and get paid for it. But the funniest thing was
- 3:53Speaker 2: we get it already. I've got my drone in the air.
- 3:56Speaker 2: They bring the horse out and the horses shat everywhere,
- 4:00Speaker 2: so the poor people are out with the shovels, try
- 4:03Speaker 2: to clean up. Then they get it all ready again
- 4:06Speaker 2: are shit again. So we were constantly trying to fill
- 4:10Speaker 2: this thing with this poor horse. So it was kind
- 4:14Speaker 2: of funny. And of course, because I was flying the drone,
- 4:16Speaker 2: I was quite far away from him all the action,
- 4:19Speaker 2: whereas the camera guy, my colleague, was pretty close to
- 4:22Speaker 2: it all. So that was kind of funny. And the
- 4:24Speaker 2: last time we went filming on location, he backed into
- 4:28Speaker 2: an electric fence for camels. It did stig somewhat Luckily
- 4:35Speaker 2: he's a big, solid guy, and he did let loose
- 4:39Speaker 2: a few expletives in front of the client and the
- 4:42Speaker 2: client's sister and the client's husband, but they were all
- 4:45Speaker 2: laughing so hard it didn't seem to mind.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I'm no tech guru, but if we're loading a horse
- 4:52Speaker 1: into a float, why do we need drone footage?
- 4:55Speaker 2: Oh? We just wanted to get some interesting angles so
- 4:58Speaker 2: he can do cutaway shots. It's just that. So I
- 5:01Speaker 2: was doing like circling around, coming in low over the
- 5:04Speaker 2: top because it gives a perspective. So my colleague was
- 5:07Speaker 2: down quite low watching it lower down, and then as
- 5:10Speaker 2: you bring the horse in, it just makes the vision
- 5:12Speaker 2: more exciting when you see it from an aerial perspective.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Is that the way that you sell it to the client,
- 5:17Speaker 1: just because you want to use your drone?
- 5:20Speaker 2: Partially? No, she requested it because we'd previously done some
- 5:23Speaker 2: footage for them, and she.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Did she did request, of course, of course, I bet
- 5:29Speaker 1: that was what she led with, Please use your drone? Patrick,
- 5:33Speaker 1: All right, Donna, if I have.
- 5:35Speaker 2: To, I can flare the drone in your studio and
- 5:37Speaker 2: have an aerial shot of you.
- 5:41Speaker 1: TIF How are you this morning?
- 5:43Speaker 2: Fabulous?
- 5:44Speaker 3: Thanks Craigs. Anthony Harper.
- 5:46Speaker 1: How's your blood sugar? Because Patrick and I have been
- 5:49Speaker 1: worried about it. You got yourself a new toy. Tell
- 5:51Speaker 1: our listeners what you've jabbed into your body.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Jammed a continuous glucose monitor into my arm. It is
- 6:02Speaker 3: so much fun. My theory. My theory was this, I
- 6:06Speaker 3: will stop eating those big cookies from that cookie shop
- 6:09Speaker 3: up the road that I eat when I don't need to.
- 6:12Speaker 3: When I have the visual data that says, hey, look
- 6:15Speaker 3: what that does to you, It'll just give me a
- 6:17Speaker 3: little bit more reason to be like.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I won't have that cookie.
- 6:21Speaker 3: I put it on last night and then turned into
- 6:25Speaker 3: this game where I was like, I wonder what I
- 6:27Speaker 3: can eat to get my blood sugar up, but a
- 6:32Speaker 3: very low blood sugar.
- 6:33Speaker 2: I've got very low blood sugar. That sounds borderline obsessive
- 6:37Speaker 2: to me a bit.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Yeah I am, yep, yeah, I'm with you. Like there's
- 6:41Speaker 1: especially with her. She does get a little bit infatuated
- 6:45Speaker 1: with data and numbers and especially shit about her body.
- 6:51Speaker 2: And I very.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Rarely say this, but maybe you and cookies are okay
- 6:55Speaker 1: for the time being.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Well it seems so, but you know, here's some data
- 6:58Speaker 3: for you. I put this on a four o'clock yesterday
- 7:01Speaker 3: or three point thirty, and it was ready by four
- 7:03Speaker 3: point thirty to give me data. It's given me one
- 7:08Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seven scan views per so far. I
- 7:12Speaker 3: wonder if that's how many times I've opened the app.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Surely it's not. Maybe that wouldn't surprise me.
- 7:19Speaker 1: But also, could you explain to our listeners who are
- 7:23Speaker 1: going as Some get it, but some are like I
- 7:26Speaker 1: don't understand what that means or why you're doing that,
- 7:30Speaker 1: Like what is the point? I mean? This is nice
- 7:33Speaker 1: because it's an intersection of technology, like you're literally putting
- 7:36Speaker 1: something into your body and getting all this data printed
- 7:39Speaker 1: out and the real world, which is your life. So
- 7:43Speaker 1: explain to our listeners why anyone would do that?
- 7:47Speaker 3: Which shows our relationship with I think processing of carbohydrates,
- 7:52Speaker 3: processing of the food that we eat. So when does
- 7:54Speaker 3: it spike our blood sugar and drop our blood sugar?
- 7:57Speaker 3: And that can relate to how consistent our energy is
- 8:02Speaker 3: or what you know, how good our diet is. I
- 8:04Speaker 3: found overnight that I so I sit quite low, and
- 8:09Speaker 3: then overnight I dipped into the red zone of very low,
- 8:13Speaker 3: which could be potentially under fueling, or it could be
- 8:19Speaker 3: not eating enough carbs overall. So for me, it's interesting
- 8:23Speaker 3: to go, Okay, well, I think this is how I
- 8:26Speaker 3: think I eat, and this is how I think I fuel,
- 8:28Speaker 3: But what is my body telling me, especially with the
- 8:31Speaker 3: hormonal and energy and fatigue and recovery stuff that I've
- 8:34Speaker 3: been going through lately.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Tis Can we take a reading now and then do
- 8:39Speaker 2: a reading at the end of the show.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Yeah, right now. I've just went down that I had.
- 8:43Speaker 3: I was just driving home and I sent Harps a screenshot.
- 8:47Speaker 3: I was down to three point four or something. I
- 8:49Speaker 3: dipped low again and I'd eaten breaky this morning, and
- 8:53Speaker 3: then I came home. I had a teaspoon of honey
- 8:55Speaker 3: just to fucking pump it up see what I could do,
- 8:57Speaker 3: and then my protein hot chocolate and it's currently sitting
- 9:01Speaker 3: at five point six. Stay tuned, everybody.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Awesome, OK, I've written it down.
- 9:07Speaker 1: It's definitely going to drop over the next fifty minutes
- 9:10Speaker 1: or so.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Go on, Patrick, I can I just say, just to
- 9:13Speaker 2: make you feel a little bit better about being obsessive
- 9:15Speaker 2: or maybe not obsessive, depending on how you compare it.
- 9:18Speaker 2: A few years ago I decided to try out the
- 9:20Speaker 2: keto diet, so ketosis, So basically it's where you substitute
- 9:26Speaker 2: your carbohydrates for protein and fat, and that becomes your
- 9:31Speaker 2: body's fuel source. So when your body goes into a crisis, effectively,
- 9:35Speaker 2: when you don't have enough carbohydrates, it starts to digest
- 9:39Speaker 2: fats and proteins, and that's ketosis, is the way I
- 9:42Speaker 2: understand it. So the obsession that I got to was
- 9:45Speaker 2: I bought a very large box of keto sticks and
- 9:49Speaker 2: I proceeded then to pee on them every half hour.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Sound how did you have that much pea?
- 9:58Speaker 2: Well, I had to keep drinking. So yes, I was
- 10:02Speaker 2: borderline obsessive because I wanted to see how much fat
- 10:05Speaker 2: I was urinating out my fuel intake compared to what
- 10:11Speaker 2: was coming out of me. So yeah, I think we
- 10:14Speaker 2: probably fall in the same spectrum of ossiveness.
- 10:18Speaker 1: I just had a visual of you weeing on the
- 10:21Speaker 1: sticks and getting it on your hand, and I just
- 10:23Speaker 1: don't need.
- 10:24Speaker 2: That at this I did say I was trading at
- 10:26Speaker 2: Harpers at the time and probably doing weights with you.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Oh God, I hope we didn't touch.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Hey, just when we did weights together, Craig, you know that.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Let's just oh, we did that as well. TIF. Let's
- 10:41Speaker 1: just remind people that, so people who are pre diabetic
- 10:45Speaker 1: or diabetic, so their blood sugar typically is going to
- 10:49Speaker 1: be higher because their pancreas doesn't work as well or
- 10:52Speaker 1: perhaps at all, which is why pancres releases insulin, which
- 10:56Speaker 1: is why some people need to inject insulin to get
- 10:59Speaker 1: it down. So what's a kind of a regular normal
- 11:04Speaker 1: like a healthy person reading in the morning, And what's
- 11:07Speaker 1: the like, what's the zone that's okay? And then the
- 11:10Speaker 1: zone that we should worry.
- 11:11Speaker 3: So the zone on listograph here, it's got a little
- 11:14Speaker 3: green bar and it sits between four and ten. So
- 11:18Speaker 3: I think between four and ten is where you want
- 11:21Speaker 3: to be bouncing around right, five point six five point six,
- 11:27Speaker 3: five points five point three.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Now, well, by the way, everyone, none of this is
- 11:32Speaker 1: medical advice. I feel like ten might be getting a
- 11:34Speaker 1: little high. That's just my recollection. But I'm interested to
- 11:39Speaker 1: see what tip is in forty minutes from now. My
- 11:42Speaker 1: client done you sorry.
- 11:45Speaker 3: My client is type one diabetic and she wears these
- 11:48Speaker 3: and she's a screenshot of mind to her yesterday and
- 11:51Speaker 3: she's screenshot back and she has a lot of hypos overnight,
- 11:55Speaker 3: so she just to hop up. She her alarm wakes
- 11:57Speaker 3: her up and she got to smash jelly beans.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I mean, how awesome is that. Oh, we gotta have
- 12:00Speaker 2: a jelly brain for your health, but.
- 12:04Speaker 1: That you'd want it at three am.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Though, No, I mean it'd be for diabetics, it'd bit.
- 12:09Speaker 3: It's such a big thing and it's so important.
- 12:13Speaker 1: How many night ways do you have, Tiff.
- 12:16Speaker 2: I don't.
- 12:16Speaker 3: I get up it early in the morning and have
- 12:18Speaker 3: ways unless I'm not. If I'm not sleeping, I'll have
- 12:22Speaker 3: a lot. If I have one of those insomniac nights
- 12:25Speaker 3: where I'm just wide awake, then I'll go quite frequently.
- 12:29Speaker 3: But normally I'll stay stay select till about five five,
- 12:34Speaker 3: have my best morning wi Patrick zero.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd never get up to go to the toilet,
- 12:39Speaker 2: but I do. I wake up early and then go
- 12:41Speaker 2: back to sleep again, so I'm usually up about two
- 12:44Speaker 2: thirty three thirty, but i never feel I need to.
- 12:46Speaker 2: That's also due partly because I tend to not drink
- 12:49Speaker 2: after about six o'clock, and that way it curtails any
- 12:53Speaker 2: need to then have to get up to go to
- 12:55Speaker 2: the toilet. Because I actually my bathroom's downstairs as well,
- 12:59Speaker 2: so have to. And the statistics say that the most
- 13:04Speaker 2: critical time for falls is in the middle of the night,
- 13:07Speaker 2: when you get up out of bed to go for
- 13:08Speaker 2: a week.
- 13:10Speaker 1: And I've got your age. Yes, indeed, I would love
- 13:16Speaker 1: to do a biological age test on you. I reckon
- 13:19Speaker 1: you would be thirty five.
- 13:22Speaker 2: No, that's lovely, but no, yeah.
- 13:26Speaker 1: You'd be. I mean like, you've never really, you've never
- 13:30Speaker 1: smashed your body. You've never been out of shape per se,
- 13:33Speaker 1: You've never been a drinker or a drug taker. You're
- 13:38Speaker 1: generally happy, like I reckon, And you've got good genetics,
- 13:44Speaker 1: and you're always moving your body and you do your
- 13:46Speaker 1: you know, your origami or whatever it's called, your body
- 13:50Speaker 1: holding the same thing, same thing. I'm kidding everyone. I
- 13:56Speaker 1: know the difference.
- 13:57Speaker 2: And I'm sitting adding my Schnauzer as well.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Wow, you sound like Dame Everett. We like that. Yeah,
- 14:04Speaker 1: that is one of the funniest jokes of alter. I know.
- 14:07Speaker 2: We're spoken about it. It's the best look up Damen
- 14:09Speaker 2: and Schnauzer. It's I still laugh every time I see it.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Oh god, he is he was so good, A bit
- 14:17Speaker 1: like polarizing. Yeah, I can remember one of my American
- 14:20Speaker 1: friends watched that had no idea what was going on,
- 14:24Speaker 1: and you know, very Australian humor. But anyway, let's talk
- 14:27Speaker 1: about tech.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're talking about coffee. First off. Can I
- 14:31Speaker 2: just add a little, quick, little interesting story about research
- 14:34Speaker 2: being done here in Australia about coffee grounds, because frighteningly
- 14:38Speaker 2: he wait for this, there's an amazing amount of coffee
- 14:42Speaker 2: that's produced every year in the grounds. From that is
- 14:45Speaker 2: about ten billion kilograms okay, ten billion kilograms of coffee
- 14:49Speaker 2: is wasted globally, and now research being done here in
- 14:53Speaker 2: Australia at r MIT is looking at ways to heat
- 14:58Speaker 2: the coffee to a really the left over grounds, heat
- 15:01Speaker 2: it to a really high temperature without moisture, and then
- 15:04Speaker 2: it can be used to reinforce concrete and it could
- 15:07Speaker 2: actually be make concrete even stronger and tastes better when
- 15:11Speaker 2: you lick it.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Well, I think, boom, boom, Yeah, you're an idiot. You
- 15:17Speaker 1: were just waiting for that last set.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah. Maybe or sugar on top before you lick it.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, well that makes sense. I mean it's
- 15:26Speaker 1: probably by the time it's dehyd all the waters out
- 15:29Speaker 1: of it's probably not unlike sawdust or wood or something.
- 15:33Speaker 2: It's going to be heated to about three hundred and
- 15:35Speaker 2: fifty degrees celsiu, so it's pretty darn hot. And it's
- 15:39Speaker 2: called pyalizing, and that's what breaks down all the organic
- 15:42Speaker 2: molecules and it becomes this carbon rich charcoal like substance,
- 15:48Speaker 2: and it's called biochar. And then they use that and
- 15:51Speaker 2: they can combine it with concrete. But it makes concrete
- 15:54Speaker 2: even stronger as well as it actually is. It forms
- 15:58Speaker 2: a much more robust and strong the concrete.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Then your whole house smells like a cappuccino.
- 16:04Speaker 2: That wouldn't be too bad, though.
- 16:08Speaker 1: It would be it would I wonder what the I
- 16:11Speaker 1: mean when you say it's got to be what did
- 16:14Speaker 1: you say he treated three hundred and fifty Yeah, I
- 16:17Speaker 1: wonder what the cost of that is. I wonder if
- 16:19Speaker 1: you do a cost benefit analysis and you've got to
- 16:21Speaker 1: get all the stuff, You've got to get all the
- 16:24Speaker 1: coffee beans. Then you've got to put it through this process,
- 16:27Speaker 1: and then you've got to because to me, I don't
- 16:30Speaker 1: I feel like concrete is not a super expensive kind
- 16:34Speaker 1: of substance.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Yeah, But the problem is that we're using so many
- 16:38Speaker 2: other materials that could be replaced by the coffee. So
- 16:41Speaker 2: there's you know, you've you've got to think about how
- 16:45Speaker 2: they're currently making coffee and this is one of coffee.
- 16:48Speaker 2: They're currently making concrete and they're using natural resources like sand,
- 16:53Speaker 2: and if this could replace the sand and it's a
- 16:55Speaker 2: waste product there and they could flip it a little bit,
- 16:58Speaker 2: then that could be beneficial as well. Because there's a
- 17:01Speaker 2: lot of sand that gets used in making concrete and
- 17:05Speaker 2: they're saying replace that with this ten billion kilograms of waste.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I feel like we're not running out of sand anytime soon.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Will you live by the beach?
- 17:18Speaker 1: Have you seen have you seen the deserts around the world.
- 17:21Speaker 1: I feel like there's a fair bit of it. Okay,
- 17:27Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that that's a good
- 17:29Speaker 1: sales pitch.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Please don't RT don't ever used if you're marketing. I'm
- 17:35Speaker 2: not doing the coffee ground at sales pitch.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Tell us about why I should be terrified of my dishwasher.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Well, look, it sounds like I'm ringing the alarm bells,
- 17:47Speaker 2: but this is again some research. It's being done here
- 17:50Speaker 2: in Australia on micro plastics and nanoplastics, and so the
- 17:56Speaker 2: University of Queensland is running studies of they put a
- 17:59Speaker 2: whole lot of plastic stuff out of the kitchen into
- 18:02Speaker 2: a dishwasher and they found that basically annually about thirty
- 18:08Speaker 2: three million plastic particles a year are coming out into
- 18:12Speaker 2: our sewage system via dishwashers, and so they're kind of
- 18:16Speaker 2: pushing for more research into what it means with these
- 18:19Speaker 2: micro and nanoplastics. And every individual wash that is done
- 18:25Speaker 2: releases nine hundred and twenty thousand particles. So a full
- 18:29Speaker 2: load of plastics in a dishwasher is churning out nine
- 18:32Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand particles of plastic. And this is
- 18:36Speaker 2: the concern because microplastics and nanoplastics are everywhere and we're
- 18:40Speaker 2: contributing to that by just running the dishwasher. I know
- 18:43Speaker 2: it's an alarm bell kind of statistic, but it does
- 18:46Speaker 2: sound pretty intense, doesn't it. That's when you're running at
- 18:48Speaker 2: about seventy degrees as well.
- 18:50Speaker 1: I get scared of plastic and heat. I feel like, obviously,
- 18:55Speaker 1: I think, oh, I know, we're still allowed in invert
- 18:58Speaker 1: commas to use plastic in the microwave but I never
- 19:01Speaker 1: put plastic plastic in them. I'd just rather wash all
- 19:06Speaker 1: my plastic shit under the tap.
- 19:09Speaker 2: You know, I threw away my plastic chopping boards this
- 19:12Speaker 2: week after reading this article, because when you cut into
- 19:15Speaker 2: a plastic cutting board, you can see the grooves and
- 19:18Speaker 2: so plastics are being released every time you slice something.
- 19:21Speaker 2: So I've got wood I mean, I generally use wooden
- 19:24Speaker 2: cutting boards. It's only when I'm doing my dates for
- 19:27Speaker 2: my porridge that i use the smaller cutting boards.
- 19:30Speaker 1: It's your dates for your porridge.
- 19:32Speaker 2: I had gates to porridge and my cheer seeds and
- 19:35Speaker 2: my hemp seeds and all lots of stuff. It's a
- 19:37Speaker 2: great porridge when you come and start make porridge for you.
- 19:41Speaker 1: We've heard enough about your dates over the years. All right,
- 19:45Speaker 1: tell us about the Melbourne company that got busted for
- 19:48Speaker 1: dodgy AI fabricated citations or reviews or recommendations.
- 19:56Speaker 2: No, these are citations being used in court. So it's
- 20:00Speaker 2: in Melbourne. Yeah, yeah, they were using citations in court documents.
- 20:03Speaker 2: And it ends up what happened was a junior solicitor,
- 20:07Speaker 2: so she was using a Google scholar search tool and
- 20:10Speaker 2: she said, oh, I'd used it at University, and it
- 20:13Speaker 2: was no problem when I used it at UNI, and
- 20:15Speaker 2: then she used it in a real case, and so
- 20:17Speaker 2: they've been ordered by the federal court to personally pay
- 20:21Speaker 2: costs for submitting it was a Native Title summary document
- 20:25Speaker 2: and it's in all these citations that were wrong, either incorrect,
- 20:30Speaker 2: or didn't actually exist in the first place. So, yeah,
- 20:33Speaker 2: big slap on the hand to this company, this legal
- 20:36Speaker 2: firm for using the court.
- 20:38Speaker 1: There's going to have to be more and more of that, mate,
- 20:39Speaker 1: I think with you know, the amount of content that
- 20:44Speaker 1: AI can produce in no minutes, like can you can
- 20:49Speaker 1: create a ten page document and in thirty seconds you
- 20:52Speaker 1: just got to print it out and that it probably
- 20:55Speaker 1: reads and looks legit, But then somebody has got to
- 20:57Speaker 1: do all of the work to actually find out that
- 20:59Speaker 1: it's bullshit it don't they.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Yeah, look, we do use a little bit of AI sometimes.
- 21:05Speaker 2: I like to use it in summaries if it's really
- 21:07Speaker 2: it's a lot of information and I get it to
- 21:09Speaker 2: summarize for my own use. But I still find that
- 21:12Speaker 2: you need to the human approach is still really important
- 21:15Speaker 2: to add the human element to that to kind of
- 21:18Speaker 2: be critical to look at whether or not that information
- 21:20Speaker 2: is concise, and you know, we wouldn't just I wouldn't
- 21:24Speaker 2: certainly just use it without checking it first. But it
- 21:28Speaker 2: can be fantastic and it can really assist in a
- 21:30Speaker 2: lot of things. I saw another article this week that
- 21:33Speaker 2: looks exciting and interesting in the use of AI art
- 21:38Speaker 2: and it's a group that it's a camera based not
- 21:41Speaker 2: for profit, and what they're doing is they're encouraging women
- 21:45Speaker 2: to try to use AI generating tools as a part
- 21:49Speaker 2: of a competition to talk about representation of women in
- 21:54Speaker 2: AI to kind of change the narrative. And I started
- 21:57Speaker 2: reading this and I thought, this kind of makes a
- 21:59Speaker 2: lot of sense because there is a built in bias
- 22:02Speaker 2: in AI, and so I did a little bit of
- 22:05Speaker 2: investigating myself, and so I thought, what I'll do is
- 22:08Speaker 2: I'll jump into a few AI image generators and I'll
- 22:12Speaker 2: just do a search on you know, show me a
- 22:14Speaker 2: picture of a young woman, show me a picture of
- 22:16Speaker 2: a middle aged woman, and an old woman, and the
- 22:19Speaker 2: same with show me a picture of a young man,
- 22:21Speaker 2: middle aged and old man. And all of them were
- 22:24Speaker 2: Anglo Saxon. So I was using the meta AI and
- 22:28Speaker 2: to a fault, they just depicted Anglo saxon white people.
- 22:34Speaker 2: And then I thought, okay, well what other biases might
- 22:36Speaker 2: there be? So I typed in Alexander the Great and
- 22:39Speaker 2: his young lover. Okay, and it depicted Alexander the Great
- 22:43Speaker 2: with the young woman. Now, when I ran the same
- 22:46Speaker 2: AI search using Gemini, that's the Google search it then
- 22:51Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was a text search, not an image search.
- 22:54Speaker 2: It gave me a very detailed bit of information about
- 22:57Speaker 2: the fact that it was thought that Alexander the Great
- 23:00Speaker 2: gay and was homosexual and had male lovers, which is
- 23:03Speaker 2: quite widely known. So it gave me citations and references
- 23:07Speaker 2: to historical information, you know, and a whole lot of
- 23:10Speaker 2: information that seemed to be quite factual. So then I
- 23:13Speaker 2: went back to the AI image generator, the Meta AI
- 23:17Speaker 2: image generator, and I changed the prompt from Alexander the
- 23:21Speaker 2: Great and his young lover to Alexander the Great and
- 23:23Speaker 2: his young male lover. And the response I got from
- 23:27Speaker 2: Meta was oops, I can't generate that image.
- 23:32Speaker 1: Wow?
- 23:32Speaker 2: Yeah wow?
- 23:35Speaker 1: So how did I mean? Me being serious? For once?
- 23:40Speaker 1: How does that make you feel?
- 23:42Speaker 2: Well? On multiple levels, one, that bias is factually wrong,
- 23:48Speaker 2: because we know there's a lot of historical information about
- 23:52Speaker 2: Alexander the Great and about his you know. But also
- 23:56Speaker 2: society was very different at that time. There was a
- 23:58Speaker 2: very you know, woman society and the idea that a
- 24:04Speaker 2: male would have a male lover as opposed to a
- 24:07Speaker 2: wife to have children. It was very different. It was
- 24:10Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of different to what our standards
- 24:12Speaker 2: are today or what you know, society, societical societal societal
- 24:16Speaker 2: standard are today. But for me personally, when I look
- 24:20Speaker 2: at the search for Anglo Saxons, but specifically something that
- 24:23Speaker 2: is factually correct but refuses to depict Alexander the Great
- 24:27Speaker 2: with a male lover, it's kind of like, what the hell?
- 24:31Speaker 2: So what are the other biases that are happening when
- 24:34Speaker 2: people are doing searches. That's what it led me to feel.
- 24:36Speaker 2: So it was a bit shitty really when you think
- 24:38Speaker 2: about it. But also it's if they're getting this wrong,
- 24:42Speaker 2: factually wrong, then what else is being factually wrong? When
- 24:46Speaker 2: it's churning out this information.
- 24:48Speaker 1: And even when you fed it the right information or
- 24:51Speaker 1: the right data, you went, well, actually here's some it
- 24:54Speaker 1: went ah, can't do it. I mean that's weird, that's what.
- 24:58Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost called the over tone to that is,
- 25:01Speaker 2: it's an inappropriate image. And that's I guess when you
- 25:04Speaker 2: ask the question, how did I feel there's an overtone
- 25:07Speaker 2: of this AI saying that the depiction of two men
- 25:13Speaker 2: was inappropriate. And I did then subsequently use a different
- 25:17Speaker 2: AI and it had no problem with generating the images
- 25:20Speaker 2: when I did the same prompts. So you just got
- 25:24Speaker 2: to know that, you know, use more than one AI.
- 25:27Speaker 2: See what the results are if you're not getting the
- 25:29Speaker 2: results you want or you think that they're wrong. But
- 25:33Speaker 2: you know, we just saw that with a legal case
- 25:35Speaker 2: in Melbourne.
- 25:36Speaker 1: You know, agents, if I've got to do something mildly important,
- 25:40Speaker 1: like I'll say, you know, I want to put in
- 25:43Speaker 1: a document that might be just five pages, I'll put
- 25:47Speaker 1: it into chat GPT four point zero or there's another
- 25:51Speaker 1: one which is more logic. I think it's called zero
- 25:55Speaker 1: point three or something, which is part of the suite
- 25:58Speaker 1: of options in chat GPT, and I also use Claude.
- 26:02Speaker 1: And I just see the difference between the two, and
- 26:05Speaker 1: it's quite stark sometimes speaking of AI, I saw this
- 26:10Speaker 1: the other day. But you tell us about the Microsoft
- 26:15Speaker 1: study that looked comparing doctors with AI diagnosing complex health conditions.
- 26:23Speaker 2: I guess that this is really interesting because Microsoft is
- 26:27Speaker 2: coming out and claiming that AI systems perform better than
- 26:31Speaker 2: human doctors at doing complex health diagnoses, so they're touting
- 26:39Speaker 2: what they're calling a medical superintelligence. Now, I guess when
- 26:43Speaker 2: you think about it, if you go to a general
- 26:45Speaker 2: practitioner to diagnose something, then you're relying on that practitioner
- 26:50Speaker 2: having had years of experience, but they can't instantly recall
- 26:55Speaker 2: all the research papers, all the research study, all the information.
- 26:58Speaker 2: And so to me, it makes sense if you're using
- 27:02Speaker 2: this as a tool as a medical professional. And that
- 27:05Speaker 2: comes back to because they will be a asking the
- 27:09Speaker 2: right questions but also querying things they think may not
- 27:12Speaker 2: be right. I mean, obviously this is you know, Microsoft's
- 27:15Speaker 2: own AI unit that's coming out and making these claims.
- 27:20Speaker 2: But from a diagnostic perspective, if you can draw and
- 27:23Speaker 2: all that, I mean, if I have a boil on
- 27:25Speaker 2: my foot, there could potentially be millions of pictures of
- 27:29Speaker 2: different boils on feet, and they could do an instant
- 27:32Speaker 2: comparison and are both of you are turning your noses up.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I don't know the first thing that came to mind,
- 27:39Speaker 2: but what I'm saying is if you have. Okay, here's
- 27:42Speaker 2: a good one. Skin cancer. This is a really important one.
- 27:45Speaker 2: If you think about a mole on your on your shoulder,
- 27:48Speaker 2: and I'm always blown away. I go to my doctor
- 27:52Speaker 2: every twelve I've I've got a doctor who is a
- 27:54Speaker 2: dermatologist who specializes in that area, and I only ever
- 27:58Speaker 2: go to him once a year to get him to
- 28:00Speaker 2: have a look at my body. And he looks at
- 28:01Speaker 2: all the little spots and things and he can I
- 28:04Speaker 2: can look at two spots and they look exactly the
- 28:06Speaker 2: same and he says, no, no, no, that's this and
- 28:08Speaker 2: that's that. It's like really and so someone who's a
- 28:11Speaker 2: specialist in that area has lots and lots and lots
- 28:14Speaker 2: of experience. But if your GP doesn't, then they could
- 28:17Speaker 2: be using an AI tool that can compare so many
- 28:20Speaker 2: different images and then come up with a result. And
- 28:22Speaker 2: particularly in Australia, with what two out of three Australians
- 28:25Speaker 2: will get a form of skin cancer. That's a really
- 28:27Speaker 2: frightening statistic.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that a couple of things
- 28:32Speaker 1: struck me when I read that, and then hearing you,
- 28:34Speaker 1: then I think people get really defensive and like fuck
- 28:38Speaker 1: II doctors studied for and I agree doctors are brilliant,
- 28:42Speaker 1: but also like everyone on the planet, doctors a human,
- 28:46Speaker 1: doctors get things wrong. Podcasters get things wrong, you know,
- 28:51Speaker 1: bricklayers get things wrong, neurosurgeons get there, you know, And
- 28:55Speaker 1: it's okay. I think it's not a replacement, like you said.
- 28:58Speaker 1: I think it's just a valuable tool. And you know,
- 29:02Speaker 1: when you know, AI doesn't get tired, like, it doesn't fatigue,
- 29:08Speaker 1: it doesn't you know, So I think we would be
- 29:11Speaker 1: even in academia. Now there's this real kind of debates
- 29:16Speaker 1: not the right word, but conversation going on around how
- 29:20Speaker 1: to use AI in research, how to use AI in
- 29:24Speaker 1: academia in general, because like if I can if I
- 29:31Speaker 1: can write a paper and then I just go, I
- 29:36Speaker 1: can put that through AI and say, do all my
- 29:38Speaker 1: references at the bottom, and it's done in thirty seconds,
- 29:43Speaker 1: saving me three hours. It's not like, well that's it's
- 29:48Speaker 1: it's not really cheating. It's like, well, all the contents
- 29:51Speaker 1: in there, it's drawing from my work and my references
- 29:54Speaker 1: and the authors that I've used and the papers that
- 29:57Speaker 1: I've used. And by the way, there is actually a
- 29:59Speaker 1: program that does all of this, multiple programs but it's
- 30:02Speaker 1: a bad example. But yeah, I think trying to figure
- 30:04Speaker 1: out how to ethically use AI moving forward, but also
- 30:10Speaker 1: with as you inferred, realizing that it's going to be
- 30:14Speaker 1: inaccurate and it's going to get shit wrong. Ergo you
- 30:18Speaker 1: know what's his name and his lover?
- 30:20Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's interesting we have only ever recorded
- 30:23Speaker 2: this podcast late in the day once in the entire
- 30:27Speaker 2: years what we're doing. Two years at least we've been
- 30:30Speaker 2: doing podcast. And interestingly, I know for a fact that
- 30:34Speaker 2: I perform so much better in the morning in terms
- 30:37Speaker 2: of my recall, my engagement, and I think that this
- 30:40Speaker 2: very same podcast, using the same topics, same information, done
- 30:44Speaker 2: at say eight o'clock at night, would be totally different,
- 30:47Speaker 2: and I reckon more crab because I just work better
- 30:51Speaker 2: in the morning. I'm a morning person, and I think
- 30:53Speaker 2: that for me, particularly with recall, if I'm tired, you know,
- 30:56Speaker 2: all those sorts of factors play a part. So if
- 30:59Speaker 2: you're being you know, sitting down with your GP and
- 31:01Speaker 2: you're the last appointment for the day and he's a
- 31:04Speaker 2: bit foggy because he's had a long day, then or
- 31:06Speaker 2: she potentially that could be something that could impact their diagnosis.
- 31:13Speaker 1: And I think we've got a factor that and just
- 31:14Speaker 1: be real and practical and say, it's not that they're
- 31:17Speaker 1: bad people, it's not that they don't know a lot,
- 31:19Speaker 1: it's not that they don't care. It's just that they fatigue.
- 31:22Speaker 1: I mean, there's quite a bit of research done, kind
- 31:26Speaker 1: of more curiosity based research than life changing research around
- 31:31Speaker 1: when you want to go before a judge. If you've
- 31:34Speaker 1: been charged with something like, yeah, the best time of
- 31:38Speaker 1: the day to see a judges early in the day,
- 31:40Speaker 1: when he or she is in a better mood, they're fresh,
- 31:43Speaker 1: they've had breakfast, they've had a sleep, and nobody's pissed
- 31:47Speaker 1: them off.
- 31:47Speaker 2: Yet they just don't think don't go to don't go
- 31:54Speaker 2: in front of a judge of the first place?
- 31:56Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know it hasn't stopped you three
- 31:58Speaker 1: or four times.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Tell us about I've got to tell you one more
- 32:03Speaker 2: AI story because I'm so excited about this. Go on cool.
- 32:07Speaker 2: There's a new film that's come out. Wait, it's called
- 32:11Speaker 2: Watch the Skies And I was about to hit you
- 32:15Speaker 2: up with that.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Will you send me this fucking list? And then you
- 32:19Speaker 1: don't let me use the list? Like wait, wait, I've
- 32:22Speaker 1: literally got it in front of me.
- 32:23Speaker 2: You know, how have you noticed he has this look
- 32:26Speaker 2: on his face and when he's about to change the topic.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Don't talk to Tiff. Don't talk to Tiff and try
- 32:32Speaker 1: and get support from her. Why do you send me
- 32:36Speaker 1: this list if you don't let me use the list?
- 32:38Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Keep going. Tell us about Watch
- 32:41Speaker 1: the Skies.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Okay, it's a Swedish UFO film and it's about this
- 32:46Speaker 2: person whose father is abducted by aliens or thinks their
- 32:50Speaker 2: father has been abducted. But that's not the exciting thing.
- 32:53Speaker 2: I mean, it does seem like a movie that I
- 32:55Speaker 2: would definitely watch. But what I'm most excited about is
- 32:59Speaker 2: that they've recorded it in Swedish, that's the original film,
- 33:03Speaker 2: and then they got the actors to revoice it in English,
- 33:07Speaker 2: and instead of reshooting the film, they've used AI to
- 33:11Speaker 2: move their lips in time to the English phrases. So
- 33:16Speaker 2: you're having to watch that kind of really weird thing.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Remember the old, the old martial art film dub.
- 33:24Speaker 1: You disrespect by Family.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one, and everybody Craig just moved his lips. Anyway,
- 33:31Speaker 2: This is an audio podcast. By the way, I just
- 33:35Speaker 2: wanted to make you too laugh and you know it's
- 33:37Speaker 2: funny though, because look, there's been a little bit of criticism.
- 33:40Speaker 2: It's like, well, just watch the original and read the subtitles.
- 33:43Speaker 2: But I was watching a German video this morning with subtitles.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Germans talk so fast and the words are so long
- 33:50Speaker 2: that it's difficult to watch the action on screen whilst
- 33:53Speaker 2: you're still reading the subtitles. So being able to have
- 33:56Speaker 2: an English dub that actually moves in time to the
- 33:59Speaker 2: lip movement. So this is from my understanding, this is
- 34:01Speaker 2: the first time it's been done properly. So it's called
- 34:03Speaker 2: Watch the Skies. It's only just coming out, but it
- 34:06Speaker 2: looks like it's a really great use of deep fake. Effectively,
- 34:11Speaker 2: that's the AI, you know, we call it deep fake,
- 34:14Speaker 2: and what they're doing is moving the lips in time
- 34:16Speaker 2: to the movements of the English So.
- 34:19Speaker 1: I love it. Not nearly as impressive as that, but
- 34:22Speaker 1: something in the same ballpark kind of mate is I
- 34:27Speaker 1: saw this. This is very new used to me and
- 34:30Speaker 1: probably you and TIF will eye roll and go well,
- 34:33Speaker 1: of course, but so they've got this tech now where
- 34:37Speaker 1: let's say you've got to you've got to do a
- 34:41Speaker 1: five or six minute video that's scripted, so you can
- 34:45Speaker 1: literally have it on your screen and the cameras in
- 34:50Speaker 1: front of you and your scripts to the right, and
- 34:53Speaker 1: so your eyes are obviously diverted, and then you push
- 34:55Speaker 1: a button and it makes it look as though you're
- 34:58Speaker 1: talking to camera. That's probably has that been around forever?
- 35:03Speaker 2: No, I don't know. That's the first I've heard of it.
- 35:05Speaker 2: But it makes it lot good. Yeah, that's really exciting that.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Well, I'm about to record a fifty video series and
- 35:12Speaker 1: I'm like, obviously I freestyle a lot, but i also
- 35:16Speaker 1: have notes. So I've got the screen in front of me,
- 35:20Speaker 1: the video in front of me, and I've also got
- 35:22Speaker 1: my notes to the right usually of whatever it is,
- 35:25Speaker 1: you know, even you know, if I'm doing a mentoring
- 35:28Speaker 1: something or an online gig, You've still got your notes
- 35:31Speaker 1: to the right. So every now and then your eyes
- 35:33Speaker 1: are not looking at the camera and you're talking looking
- 35:35Speaker 1: to the right, Whereas this corrects all of that, so
- 35:38Speaker 1: you're always looking at the camera.
- 35:40Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exciting. That's pretty pretty cool.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Yeah, people who do my job, it makes it. Yeah,
- 35:46Speaker 1: it makes it better. Tell us about cars. Tell us
- 35:48Speaker 1: about one of my favorite topics.
- 35:50Speaker 2: I know you love all this sort of stuff. Well,
- 35:52Speaker 2: there's a people really know the show Me Company, the
- 35:56Speaker 2: Chinese phone manufacturer for making phones show Me, but they.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Is that the one that's spelt with an X.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Yeah, Xiaomi show Me. It's pronounced wow. Gets probably a
- 36:09Speaker 2: good thing to point out because when people see it,
- 36:11Speaker 2: they probably pronounce it x Iomi or something, but it's
- 36:14Speaker 2: show Me. Yeah. So because in Chinese X's pronounces a
- 36:19Speaker 2: sound like shan where the terracotta warriors are xi An. Anyway,
- 36:25Speaker 2: they've released their first electric car. But within the first
- 36:30Speaker 2: eighteen hours they managed to get two hundred and forty
- 36:33Speaker 2: thousand orders. There's a lot of people been waiting for
- 36:37Speaker 2: this new electric car.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that's status. Yeah, China's gone nuts with evs, like nuts.
- 36:47Speaker 2: The model is called the y U seven and it's
- 36:50Speaker 2: kind of the equivalent to the Tesla Model Y but
- 36:54Speaker 2: a little bit cheaper. And that's what you're right here
- 36:57Speaker 2: in China. But I remember the first time I went
- 36:59Speaker 2: to China was twenty thirteen, and then I went back
- 37:03Speaker 2: probably about five years later, and it had gone from
- 37:07Speaker 2: the first time I was. There. Lots of motorbikes churning
- 37:10Speaker 2: out fumes. So Beijing was always renowned for having this
- 37:14Speaker 2: haze sitting over it. And then in five years time
- 37:19Speaker 2: there was all a conversion to electric so everyone was
- 37:21Speaker 2: riding electric scooters instead of petrol driven scooters, so no
- 37:25Speaker 2: more churning out from all the scooters that have been
- 37:27Speaker 2: driven around. And the other thing that was mind blowing
- 37:29Speaker 2: for me at least going from Beijing to a coastal
- 37:33Speaker 2: town called Beida hur which is where we do tai chi.
- 37:38Speaker 2: The drive there is quite a few hours, and it
- 37:41Speaker 2: was not forested, and then all of a sudden, five
- 37:43Speaker 2: years later, totally forested. They just planted. So you know,
- 37:48Speaker 2: that's I guess one of the things that a big
- 37:51Speaker 2: kind of you know country where you put to dictate
- 37:54Speaker 2: down you say right, no more petrol driven motorbikes, and
- 37:57Speaker 2: they're gone, No want more trees, We're going to put more.
- 38:00Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not suggesting that's probably the best way
- 38:02Speaker 2: of goning, but amazing that they can do that overnight.
- 38:06Speaker 2: And as you said, there's a real passion now for
- 38:09Speaker 2: Chinese produced electric vehicles. And you know, eighteen hours, two
- 38:13Speaker 2: hundred and forty thousand orders is pretty epic. I reckon I.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Watched a video yesterday. It was a CEO of Ford
- 38:20Speaker 1: America and he'd just come back from China and he
- 38:24Speaker 1: was saying that all the basically all the Western manufacturers
- 38:31Speaker 1: need to get their shit together because the stuff they're
- 38:34Speaker 1: doing in China is phenomenal. And it used to be
- 38:37Speaker 1: our Chinese cars junk. Right. He's like, they are better
- 38:41Speaker 1: and this is the He's like, we are behind now,
- 38:47Speaker 1: which is interesting.
- 38:48Speaker 2: And.
- 38:50Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, the quality is the build quality is amazing,
- 38:53Speaker 1: which that used to be the issue. The technology is amazing,
- 38:58Speaker 1: and because they are so efficient, the price is better.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:02Speaker 1: So it's it's I mean we saw this hap be
- 39:06Speaker 1: hard to compete.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw this with Japan in the seventies and eighties,
- 39:10Speaker 2: where they were the imitator and then became the innovator.
- 39:14Speaker 2: And that's what's happened in China. You know the term,
- 39:17Speaker 2: you know, Dji is the drone manufacturing company, and it's
- 39:21Speaker 2: it's recognized everywhere that Dji, the Chinese brand, makes the
- 39:25Speaker 2: best drones in terms of you know, what's out on
- 39:28Speaker 2: the market at the moment. They're pretty amazing. I'm still
- 39:31Speaker 2: using the drone that I use this week with my
- 39:33Speaker 2: client is an old drone by standards. Now, I's think
- 39:36Speaker 2: it's probably about five or six years old, and the
- 39:38Speaker 2: footage is four k It's stunning. It's got what they
- 39:41Speaker 2: call a gimbal on the bottom of it, so if
- 39:43Speaker 2: the wind blows the drone around and it moves, the
- 39:46Speaker 2: cameras is perfectly locked. It's stunning. It's really great and
- 39:51Speaker 2: the footage is great. And that was you know, five
- 39:53Speaker 2: or six year old drone and it's still working exceptionally
- 39:56Speaker 2: well today.
- 39:58Speaker 1: The same thing happened with you know, you said Japan
- 40:01Speaker 1: and now we're China. In the middle of those two
- 40:03Speaker 1: was Korea, remember South Korea with Hyundai and Kia, and
- 40:07Speaker 1: because when Hyundas came out, they were fucking terrible and
- 40:11Speaker 1: now they're amazing, like the build quality on all of
- 40:15Speaker 1: these things, and it's I guess it's a natural evolution.
- 40:18Speaker 1: So we will watch this space tell me why driving
- 40:23Speaker 1: my car fast away from the lights is a good idea.
- 40:27Speaker 1: And I couldn't be happier about this.
- 40:29Speaker 2: I thought you'd get half a chub over this, scientist.
- 40:34Speaker 1: I'm not sure you can say that.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Can I crap? Sorry?
- 40:37Speaker 1: Can you get when when we look at the bars
- 40:39Speaker 1: on the ev on the battery.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I meant. Yeah, yeah, thank you for
- 40:45Speaker 2: getting me out of that hole.
- 40:47Speaker 1: So quite often, so many things, so many things.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Do Remember when you had your first car, people would
- 40:52Speaker 2: say to you, you know, if you accelerate really fast,
- 40:55Speaker 2: it blows all the carb and crap out of the car,
- 40:58Speaker 2: and it's better for your car to do that. And
- 41:00Speaker 2: that was a great excuse to accelerate quickly and your
- 41:03Speaker 2: you know, fourteen hundred mes to eight oh eight. Well
- 41:08Speaker 2: they're now saying that electric cars actually can benefit from
- 41:11Speaker 2: rapid acceleration. So it's supposed to be good for the
- 41:16Speaker 2: electric battery because it's called dynamic cycling, and it just
- 41:20Speaker 2: means you put it under real load for a very
- 41:22Speaker 2: short amount of time in rapid acceleration, and it's now
- 41:25Speaker 2: thought that it's actually better for the battery to do that,
- 41:28Speaker 2: So there is actual science behind it. The findings found
- 41:32Speaker 2: that the battery health responds to what they call low
- 41:35Speaker 2: frequency pulses and then higher peak currents rather than just
- 41:39Speaker 2: stained draw So when you you know, when a battery
- 41:43Speaker 2: gets used, generally it's under a sustained load, but by
- 41:46Speaker 2: increasing and decreasing that those bursts of power then like
- 41:50Speaker 2: can stop and go traffic will actually help and so
- 41:53Speaker 2: research has gone into that. So I mean, we're not
- 41:55Speaker 2: encouraging you to go over the speed limit, but getting
- 41:58Speaker 2: there quickly and fun is always good, isn't it. Craig, Well,
- 42:01Speaker 2: my car.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Is electric and petrol like yours. It's a hybrid. So
- 42:05Speaker 1: I mean, if I've got to take one for the
- 42:08Speaker 1: team and scretch away from the lights for the good
- 42:11Speaker 1: of the environment and the world and humanity, I will
- 42:15Speaker 1: do it. Now, what has come to our attention this
- 42:19Speaker 1: week has been all the data breach with Quantis, and
- 42:25Speaker 1: I know in your cyber security section here we're talking
- 42:29Speaker 1: about how we need to be aware of cyber criminals.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I didn't want to go into all the
- 42:35Speaker 2: detail because there's so much in the media about what's
- 42:38Speaker 2: going on with the Quantus thing, and it's evolving every minute,
- 42:40Speaker 2: you know, every day we're hearing new details and statistics.
- 42:43Speaker 2: It was six million initially, and that's five point seven
- 42:46Speaker 2: million people whose data basically frequent flyers data's out there.
- 42:50Speaker 2: But I was reading a really interesting article that talked
- 42:52Speaker 2: about what ald accounts mean for your online privacy in
- 42:57Speaker 2: online safety because you know, when you think of it,
- 43:00Speaker 2: every time you've signed up to buy some groceries, or
- 43:03Speaker 2: you've maybe downloaded a mobile game, a fitness app, anything
- 43:08Speaker 2: that you've done online over all the decades that we've
- 43:11Speaker 2: been online, that could still be sitting there somewhere on
- 43:14Speaker 2: a server with your information. And it could be your name,
- 43:16Speaker 2: it could be your phone number, your address, that points
- 43:20Speaker 2: those points of reference data that those points of information
- 43:24Speaker 2: are what makes your self fulnderable online because it's identity
- 43:28Speaker 2: theft effectively, if they know your address, know your phone number,
- 43:31Speaker 2: know all those points of reference that you give willingly
- 43:35Speaker 2: and handover, and it could even be a credit card
- 43:37Speaker 2: information then potentially because it's sitting out there and it's
- 43:41Speaker 2: thought that the average person is about one hundred and
- 43:43Speaker 2: seventy passwords, but they're all out there and people reuse
- 43:46Speaker 2: them as well. So this article was really good because
- 43:49Speaker 2: it talked about why old accounts can be such a
- 43:52Speaker 2: big security risk and then the methods that you can
- 43:56Speaker 2: go through to try to get rid of them. So
- 43:58Speaker 2: one of the things you can do, who is just
- 44:00Speaker 2: think about all the old accounts you've got, go in
- 44:03Speaker 2: there and delete them if you've not used them. For
- 44:05Speaker 2: more than twelve months, then it's probably not idea for
- 44:07Speaker 2: to have them there. And then I thought, well, who's
- 44:10Speaker 2: going to remember all of those? And so what you
- 44:13Speaker 2: can do is you can actually do search in your
- 44:16Speaker 2: email for things like welcome to you know, after you've joined,
- 44:21Speaker 2: you know, you get that email welcome to you, Craig
- 44:25Speaker 2: Harper role with the Punches Club, so that sort of stuff,
- 44:30Speaker 2: and you think it's an unsubscribe from that crap, the
- 44:34Speaker 2: Craig Halper part, not the role of the Punches yet.
- 44:37Speaker 2: But so there's ways you can go about looking for
- 44:40Speaker 2: old accounts and then deleting them. And if you can't
- 44:43Speaker 2: delete them, because some make it really hard to do that,
- 44:46Speaker 2: go into the credit card info and delete the credit card,
- 44:49Speaker 2: try or change the information so it's not your information.
- 44:53Speaker 2: So if you're finding that you've got a site that
- 44:56Speaker 2: you've gone to and they're just refusing to delete it,
- 44:58Speaker 2: then just change it to some something else and it's
- 45:01Speaker 2: not something that you you know, you're not going to
- 45:03Speaker 2: spend the next twenty four hours doing it, but every
- 45:06Speaker 2: now and again just jump and jump on and check
- 45:09Speaker 2: and just see if there's an old account that you
- 45:11Speaker 2: don't need any more, uninstall the app, delete your information.
- 45:14Speaker 1: You know what if there's probably some cyber criminals somewhere
- 45:18Speaker 1: on the planet right now tracking your blood sugar.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Hey, what's your blood sugar at the moment?
- 45:23Speaker 1: Tip Well been dying to tell you.
- 45:25Speaker 3: Guys we've dropped down of three point five.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Well, that's a bit of a worry.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Quick, don't get yourself a muffin quick, hurry the fuck up,
- 45:33Speaker 1: go to the pantry. I told wanted this to make
- 45:37Speaker 1: me eat less.
- 45:37Speaker 2: You were not more.
- 45:40Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't know that that thing's
- 45:42Speaker 1: a good thing for you. I think that's just going
- 45:44Speaker 1: to create a new level of anxiety that you can't.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Get one of those pistachio quick, give you a jake
- 45:51Speaker 3: the road, you give you that would be nice because
- 45:54Speaker 3: that would get your blood sugar up, wouldn't it.
- 45:55Speaker 2: What a fresh date? What I like? Its stick good.
- 46:00Speaker 2: It's just rather than a jelly baby something that's great.
- 46:03Speaker 3: Fresh dates with homemade almond butter.
- 46:08Speaker 2: You know what, tiff, I had to go to a
- 46:11Speaker 2: dinner recently, and so I thought it'd make a vegan dessert.
- 46:14Speaker 2: And you know what it was. You get fresh dates,
- 46:16Speaker 2: you cut all the pips out and then you flatten
- 46:18Speaker 2: them in a tray, cover them with crunchy peanut butter,
- 46:22Speaker 2: then hot dark chocolate, you melt the dart, then you
- 46:26Speaker 2: put coconut sprinkles and fresh raspberries, and then when the
- 46:31Speaker 2: best slice ever?
- 46:33Speaker 1: Next time I speaking of diabetes harps and.
- 46:35Speaker 3: I come to the land, can you make that from Yes? Absolutely,
- 46:40Speaker 3: perps in that virtual headset. Yeah, it's really fun.
- 46:47Speaker 1: That would be that would give me a heart attack. Patrick,
- 46:51Speaker 1: before we move on from cybersecurity, tell me how hackers
- 46:56Speaker 1: can attack my phone via earbuds and how this.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Is really worrying, isn't it. So some of the formats
- 47:03Speaker 2: that are used with bluetooth connectivity from your headphones to
- 47:07Speaker 2: your phone, evidently now it's thought that your earbuds could
- 47:12Speaker 2: be more vulnerable.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Yeah, he's holding his headphones in front of us. Again
- 47:16Speaker 2: a visual reference on an audio podcast, Nice one, gravit.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Now that's been audio referenced because you translated for the listener.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Thank you. But use I use Bluetooth headphones all day,
- 47:28Speaker 1: like when I'm out in the Yeah.
- 47:31Speaker 2: Yeah, so there are some vulnerabilities, it's thought in bluetooth hardware,
- 47:35Speaker 2: and so researchers are trying to think of okay, like
- 47:38Speaker 2: they're doing a proof of concept exploit, but they're thinking
- 47:42Speaker 2: that not only could you get into the phone, and
- 47:45Speaker 2: they're saying it could be quite a severe risk. But
- 47:48Speaker 2: it's more than just monitoring what you're doing. So if
- 47:50Speaker 2: you're having a phone call with Tiff using your headphones,
- 47:54Speaker 2: then potentially someone could be listening in by hacking the
- 47:57Speaker 2: Bluetooth connection. But they're saying that it could all so
- 48:00Speaker 2: exploit and hack into your device via the Bluetooth connection
- 48:05Speaker 2: as well. I know, it's a bit of a worry,
- 48:07Speaker 2: isn't it. This was an article that was on a
- 48:11Speaker 2: website called Bleeping Computer, and they reported that basically speaker
- 48:17Speaker 2: microphone hardwareby used by about twenty nine devices and potentially
- 48:21Speaker 2: lots more. And we're talking all the big brands, you know, Bo's, Sony, Jabra, Marshall, JBL.
- 48:27Speaker 2: All of those are using a consistent model. It makes sense,
- 48:31Speaker 2: it's got to be compatible. So there's a thought that
- 48:34Speaker 2: you know, this potentially could open up. I mean, I
- 48:37Speaker 2: guess you've got to be in close proximity to somebody
- 48:40Speaker 2: who's trying to hack you. But that's the thing. If
- 48:42Speaker 2: you're walking through an airport. You know, if you happen
- 48:44Speaker 2: to be in a public place, is there a protection
- 48:49Speaker 2: against it? Well not yet that.
- 48:51Speaker 3: It's violence and coercive control. Yep.
- 48:53Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:54Speaker 1: I hope they don't learn how to hack defibrillators and
- 49:01Speaker 1: pacemakers because the crab could be in trouble. Y imagine
- 49:07Speaker 1: if somebody could just like jump in and turn his
- 49:10Speaker 1: heart rate up to one hundred and thirty, Like it's
- 49:14Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? That's I reckon that's
- 49:17Speaker 1: possible because it's all tracked. I mean, it's linked. Like
- 49:21Speaker 1: if his heart rate goes into a weird rhythm, he
- 49:24Speaker 1: gets a phone call like they know. Yeah, that's that's
- 49:29Speaker 1: a little bit scary.
- 49:30Speaker 3: All right.
- 49:31Speaker 1: Before we focus on the Crab's demise, which we probably shouldn't,
- 49:35Speaker 1: I want to jump around a little bit, Patrick, because
- 49:37Speaker 1: this is the intersection of my work and your work.
- 49:41Speaker 1: So what happens to my brain when we'll come back
- 49:44Speaker 1: to a few more, But what happens to my brain
- 49:46Speaker 1: when I watch videos online at faster speeds than normal, which,
- 49:51Speaker 1: by the way, Tiff does this constantly. Tiff never watches
- 49:54Speaker 1: anything in real time. So what happens when I watch
- 49:58Speaker 1: things at one point five or two.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Well, the problem is recall. So what happens is linguistically,
- 50:04Speaker 2: when you read something, your brain has to convert it
- 50:07Speaker 2: into information that it can then take in, and that
- 50:11Speaker 2: can only be done at a certain speeds. So if
- 50:13Speaker 2: you're listening at a higher speed rate, whether it's an
- 50:16Speaker 2: audiobook or watching a video. And the other thing is
- 50:19Speaker 2: that lots of students do this. Students that are studying remotely,
- 50:22Speaker 2: who don't go go to courses, they will watch a
- 50:25Speaker 2: playback of a conference or a lecture in faster speed
- 50:29Speaker 2: to get through it quicker. But you could be doing
- 50:30Speaker 2: yourself a disservice because what it potentially means, and this
- 50:34Speaker 2: is some research, up to eighty nine percent of students
- 50:38Speaker 2: in California that were researched said that they did watch
- 50:42Speaker 2: all of the replays on a faster speed eighty nine percent.
- 50:47Speaker 2: So the problem is we hear something, we take it in,
- 50:51Speaker 2: our brain listens to it, it absorbs the information and
- 50:55Speaker 2: then effectively writes it to our mental hard drive. But
- 50:58Speaker 2: when you speed it up, it's not able to do
- 51:01Speaker 2: that process as effectively. So you may be doing yourself
- 51:05Speaker 2: a disservice. You might save yourself half an hour, but
- 51:07Speaker 2: you might need another half hour to do more research
- 51:10Speaker 2: to remember the stuff that you didn't hear the first time.
- 51:13Speaker 1: That makes that makes total sense.
- 51:14Speaker 2: Its face looks like a prune now, like she's really
- 51:17Speaker 2: scrunching it up.
- 51:19Speaker 1: She's listened to a lot of shit but learned nothing.
- 51:22Speaker 3: Whole This is my whole life, my whole life.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Hey, listeners, Patrick sends me a list of what we're
- 51:29Speaker 1: going to talk about, and just these dot points. Listen
- 51:33Speaker 1: to this dot point and as if anyone in the
- 51:36Speaker 1: world could have written this dot point except yours. Truly
- 51:41Speaker 1: laser engraved ceramics storage device that stores data for five
- 51:45Speaker 1: thousand years targets astounding one thousand peter bytes per rack
- 51:50Speaker 1: by twenty thirty ten x performance boost at one hundred
- 51:53Speaker 1: thousand peter bytes per rack. Also on surbates roadmap, What
- 51:59Speaker 1: the fuck does that mean? What does that even mean?
- 52:04Speaker 1: You don't read I don't even understand the what does
- 52:07Speaker 1: that mean?
- 52:08Speaker 2: Okay, So there's a new way, there's a startup in Germany.
- 52:12Speaker 1: Okay, So why didn't you put that?
- 52:14Speaker 2: I don't know. It might have been a copy and
- 52:18Speaker 2: paste by the seventeen year old who works for me
- 52:22Speaker 2: because I ran out of time. So they're using laser
- 52:27Speaker 2: engraving onto ceramic and this and this is a revolution.
- 52:31Speaker 2: This is a startup company in Germany. But we're talking
- 52:34Speaker 2: about not like ten times. The performance and the storage
- 52:40Speaker 2: is just out of sight. When you start talking about
- 52:42Speaker 2: things like petabytes and the amount of storage. It's like
- 52:45Speaker 2: all of the world's data stored on you know, a
- 52:47Speaker 2: ceramic chip. It's just a new way of storing data
- 52:51Speaker 2: but also being able to retrieve it really quickly and
- 52:54Speaker 2: making it more secure and long lasting. Because do you
- 52:57Speaker 2: remember when CDs came out and everyone was backing up
- 53:00Speaker 2: everything onto CD. A friend of mine who you've met,
- 53:04Speaker 2: my friends that live in Hampton, My mate Michael lived
- 53:07Speaker 2: in the lived in worked in the film industry, and
- 53:10Speaker 2: one of his colleagues had saved all of the They
- 53:13Speaker 2: backed up everything onto CD and then they found out
- 53:17Speaker 2: that CDs don't last and what happens. Data eventually got
- 53:21Speaker 2: corrupted and they lost all of this information. So effective
- 53:24Speaker 2: ways to store stuff, because there are still data centers.
- 53:29Speaker 2: The hierarchy of data storage is if it's data that
- 53:33Speaker 2: is instantly retrievable, stuff that you need to get access
- 53:37Speaker 2: too quickly. Then they use you know, solid state drives
- 53:41Speaker 2: so SSDs. Stuff that tends to be not used as
- 53:44Speaker 2: much can sometimes be saved on traditional hard drives, and
- 53:48Speaker 2: some of it are still used on tape drives, like
- 53:50Speaker 2: the old you know, you remember tape drive. So if
- 53:53Speaker 2: it's data that it's not as necessary, but he's still
- 53:56Speaker 2: want to retain it. That means the retrieval can be
- 53:59Speaker 2: a lot slow getting that data because it's stored in
- 54:02Speaker 2: an old system. So the future of data storage and
- 54:05Speaker 2: you don't need to know what peta bytes and all
- 54:07Speaker 2: that sort of stuff are. But the reason, the reason
- 54:09Speaker 2: this is so exciting that their laser engraving ceramics is
- 54:13Speaker 2: that it will last for five thousand years.
- 54:19Speaker 1: Better at night. All right, last one? If you can
- 54:22Speaker 1: do the last one in.
- 54:23Speaker 2: Two minutes, man, okay, two minutes, you can make a
- 54:29Speaker 2: story sound even more boring.
- 54:31Speaker 1: I'm giving you an opportunity to finish on a high. Right,
- 54:34Speaker 1: you've been very good today. You just stumbled at the
- 54:37Speaker 1: finish line. A phone that's not a phone to help
- 54:41Speaker 1: you stop using your phone, I'm actually curious about that.
- 54:45Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I included a picture for you, Crago. Can
- 54:47Speaker 2: you describe the picture that you are seeing in the article,
- 54:50Speaker 2: so that you could actually explain to people what you're seeing.
- 54:53Speaker 1: Oh right, hang on, I've got a scroll because I'm
- 54:55Speaker 1: looking at the cheap notes.
- 54:57Speaker 2: Oh I didn't actually look at the picture. I put
- 54:59Speaker 2: that deliberately so you could see it.
- 55:02Speaker 1: Are there we go? Right, Yeah, it just looks like
- 55:08Speaker 1: a slab of glass the size of a phone.
- 55:11Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's exactly the shape. So it's a piece
- 55:14Speaker 2: of acrylic. It's called a metha phone, and I don't
- 55:17Speaker 2: know if that's a take on the word meth. I'm
- 55:19Speaker 2: not sure. But it's supposed to help people who have
- 55:21Speaker 2: phone addiction because what they find, Ah, people sit there
- 55:26Speaker 2: holding their phone, and by replacing the normal phone with
- 55:31Speaker 2: this just slab of effectively plastic that's in the shape
- 55:35Speaker 2: of a phone, you can fiddle around with it but
- 55:38Speaker 2: not have you know, not actually look at sms's and
- 55:42Speaker 2: not be distracted by what's happening on a real phone.
- 55:44Speaker 2: So it will help people who have phone addiction, of
- 55:47Speaker 2: people who struggle because they're constantly looking at their phone.
- 55:52Speaker 2: They found if you use a slab of plastic effectively
- 55:55Speaker 2: in the same shape as a phone, that It can
- 55:57Speaker 2: calm people down who get anxious because they feel they
- 56:01Speaker 2: need to have their phone with them. So it takes
- 56:04Speaker 2: care of that part of the brain that's kind of
- 56:06Speaker 2: holding onto the phone, and it reassures them and they
- 56:08Speaker 2: don't get the same sort of anxiety by not having
- 56:11Speaker 2: their phone.
- 56:12Speaker 1: You know, this reminds me. That makes sense by the
- 56:14Speaker 1: way that tactile familiarity. But a friend of mine who
- 56:21Speaker 1: gave up smoking, who was a big smoker, always had
- 56:24Speaker 1: a pen in these fingers between his fingers where a
- 56:27Speaker 1: cigarette would have been, and he would often put the
- 56:29Speaker 1: pen up into his mouth as if he was taking
- 56:32Speaker 1: a drag, and he knew what he was doing, and
- 56:36Speaker 1: he's like, it makes me feel better, like having this
- 56:39Speaker 1: pen between my fingers. It's like it was, yeah, therapeutic
- 56:45Speaker 1: and medicating for him. So that makes complete sense. Patrick.
- 56:49Speaker 1: Where can people join the Patrick Club?
- 56:52Speaker 2: Oh, let's just go to websitesnow dot com today you

- 57:34Speaker 2: twenty minutes, if you noticed that, Craigan.
