- 0:04Speaker 1: James Manela. It's the You Project, It's the tech show.
- 0:07Speaker 1: It's a once a fortnite bloody extravaganza of let's be honest,
- 0:13Speaker 1: mainly bullshit with a bit of technology thrown in. Speaking
- 0:17Speaker 1: of bullshit, Hi Patrick, Oh.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Wow, that's just the epic.
- 0:22Speaker 1: I love you, I love you. You're loved. How are you?
- 0:27Speaker 2: Well? You know you're saying I'm loved, but I'm not
- 0:31Speaker 2: feeling that.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Well. It's the I don't know, it's the dysfunctional Australian
- 0:37Speaker 1: male way. You know. If I love you, I'm not
- 0:39Speaker 1: going to tell you, or if I'm going to tell you,
- 0:42Speaker 1: I'm going to put your funck with on the end
- 0:44Speaker 1: of it, you.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Know, and punch me.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Yeah, and punch you. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I can't just
- 0:51Speaker 1: look at you and go, Patrick, I love you, because
- 0:54Speaker 1: that that is way too weird, probably even for you,
- 0:56Speaker 1: who's a little bit more evolved than me. Okay a lot.
- 1:01Speaker 1: That's probably even weird for you. But you know, I
- 1:03Speaker 1: love you, mate. That's all right, isn't it.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I love you too, Craigo, And if I love you too,
- 1:08Speaker 2: and please don't punch me.
- 1:10Speaker 3: I was just about the same. My love language is
- 1:12Speaker 3: a left hook.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Exactly, That's right, That.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Is funny. What is your love language speaking? And let's
- 1:22Speaker 1: just get this out of the way. So if you
- 1:24Speaker 1: the four of you don't know, is it not Gary Gray?
- 1:28Speaker 1: Is it? Yeah? John Gray?
- 1:31Speaker 3: John Gray's Gary?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Some just just gone blame anyway, the Five Love Languages?
- 1:37Speaker 2: John, Can I just clarify something you just said, the
- 1:40Speaker 2: four of you? Who's the other person out in three
- 1:43Speaker 2: of us?
- 1:45Speaker 1: No? No, no, I was going to say, the four
- 1:48Speaker 1: of you who haven't heard of that book, The Five
- 1:50Speaker 1: Love Languages?
- 1:51Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, because.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I've spoken about it quite a bit. But anyway, the
- 1:55Speaker 1: five love languages, physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time,
- 2:00Speaker 1: I'm what is it? What is the gifts? And acts
- 2:06Speaker 1: of service? Thank you? Patrick? And yeah, what's yours? Mate?
- 2:12Speaker 4: Well?
- 2:12Speaker 1: Like, what when you are expressing love or you want
- 2:15Speaker 1: to show someone that you love them, what do you?
- 2:19Speaker 1: And I guess it depends whether or not it's you know,
- 2:22Speaker 1: like family or friend or someone or something a bit
- 2:25Speaker 1: more intimate, But what's your what's your kind of how
- 2:28Speaker 1: do you show people that you love them or care
- 2:30Speaker 1: about them.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I'm big into hugs. Yeah, you both have been recipients.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I'm sure I've been to see a movie with you
- 2:39Speaker 1: and pretty much we held hands the whole time. I mean,
- 2:42Speaker 1: you know there were moments where we didn't, you know,
- 2:44Speaker 1: that time where you were holding my cocky and when
- 2:46Speaker 1: it got scary. But you can't say that, can't take
- 2:49Speaker 1: that out. Tip, take it out, take it out and
- 2:53Speaker 1: job in the cinema hashtag coming soon what I know,
- 2:58Speaker 1: and by coming I mean movie stop it wow, straight
- 3:03Speaker 1: in we've just what has been banned from Hoyts.
- 3:09Speaker 2: He calls it cooits.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Oh god, So it took us thirteen seconds to get here.
- 3:16Speaker 1: I apologize, no wonder no one listens to this episode.
- 3:20Speaker 1: There's three sick fucks and go this is this whole
- 3:24Speaker 1: technology thing. It's a ruse. There's nothing, there's nothing going
- 3:29Speaker 1: on here, nothing to see here.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Fans of the podcast realm, that's it.
- 3:35Speaker 1: That's it. And Tiff, what about so Patrick's physical touch
- 3:41Speaker 1: And by the way, everyone that doesn't despite all the bullshit,
- 3:44Speaker 1: that doesn't have to mean anything sexual. It's just off
- 3:48Speaker 1: in a hug or or you know, a tap on
- 3:52Speaker 1: the back or a little bit of a quick sideways
- 3:54Speaker 1: squeeze or something. What about you?
- 3:59Speaker 2: Sorry? What is his think that sounds creepy? What from
- 4:05Speaker 2: a hut to a bit of a sideways grope?
- 4:08Speaker 1: I said squeeze, I did not say grope. Sorry, call Tiff.
- 4:18Speaker 3: I think I'm a bit.
- 4:18Speaker 5: Words of affirmation, you know what? You know what's interesting?
- 4:23Speaker 5: I look at how I behave with my animals bother them.
- 4:28Speaker 1: But I think that's because I reckon. I reckon. Your
- 4:32Speaker 1: love language is context a pennant, like because yeah, you're
- 4:37Speaker 1: you don't open the door that wide with humans, but
- 4:40Speaker 1: animals you're like it's a free for all.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:43Speaker 5: Like sometimes I think if I was someone's girlfriend, the
- 4:48Speaker 5: way I behave with my dogs, i'd have the restraining
- 4:51Speaker 5: order to put on me.
- 4:53Speaker 1: But the thing is, and I know this is like cliche,
- 4:56Speaker 1: but like you know that like even cats, like animals
- 5:02Speaker 1: don't lie, like they might hate you or love you,
- 5:05Speaker 1: but you're going to know they might want affection or not,
- 5:09Speaker 1: but they're not pretending, you know, And even if they
- 5:13Speaker 1: want food, they're you know, they're very clear about what
- 5:17Speaker 1: they want. You know, there's you don't have to read
- 5:19Speaker 1: between the lines like you do with humans. There's no
- 5:22Speaker 1: persona and person.
- 5:24Speaker 5: You know.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I'm having a bit of a chuckle to myself because
- 5:28Speaker 2: whilst we've been talking, my dog has walked into the
- 5:31Speaker 2: little studio and pressed his head up against my hand,
- 5:34Speaker 2: and now I'm just padding him. Fritz. What we're talking,
- 5:38Speaker 2: he knows, which is why I'm leading to one side.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I'm not having a stroke or anything, but like he's
- 5:43Speaker 2: having anyway, Leave it there.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Gary Chapman, his name is fucking hell. Why did I
- 5:51Speaker 1: blank on that?
- 5:53Speaker 2: Now?
- 5:53Speaker 1: Speaking of dogs and animals, Patrick, I see on your
- 5:56Speaker 1: little chat list that we want to open. I don't
- 5:59Speaker 1: know how much this is tech, but it is psychology,
- 6:02Speaker 1: so I do love it, and it does involve dogs,
- 6:05Speaker 1: so we all love it. I think you know. I
- 6:09Speaker 1: had to tell you. I don't think this is new research,
- 6:12Speaker 1: but I love the research.
- 6:14Speaker 2: It's good.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Yeah, So tell us about why having a dog could
- 6:19Speaker 1: be good for your health.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Well, look, they did it. The research specifically looked at
- 6:24Speaker 2: how we interact with dogs but also cats, and what
- 6:27Speaker 2: they tried to do was typify a dog owner and
- 6:29Speaker 2: a cat owner. Now you fall smack bang in the middle. Tip,
- 6:32Speaker 2: But it's interestingly before Craig jumped into the call. You
- 6:35Speaker 2: were actually you were bitching about your stand up desks.
- 6:38Speaker 2: What did your cat do?
- 6:41Speaker 3: What did a cat do?
- 6:42Speaker 2: Yeah? Why doesn't your desk work anymore? Oh?
- 6:44Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, she chewed the fucking cord that makes
- 6:47Speaker 5: it go up and down.
- 6:49Speaker 2: So cat owners have a higher tendency towards anxiety and
- 6:54Speaker 2: they're more neurotic than dog owners. I don't care.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Wow, how I wonder is that just is that a
- 7:02Speaker 1: byproduct of owning a cat? Or is that just that
- 7:06Speaker 1: eurotic anxious people choose cats because cats are neurotic and anxious.
- 7:11Speaker 2: That's a really good point. Well, look, this was only
- 7:13Speaker 2: a survey of three hundred and twenty one people and
- 7:15Speaker 2: it was done at James Cook University and right here
- 7:20Speaker 2: at Australia. But the reason for it was it was
- 7:25Speaker 2: a lot of people got a lot of consolation during
- 7:27Speaker 2: COVID lockdown by having pets, and it seemed that people
- 7:32Speaker 2: who had dogs got through it and were more resilient,
- 7:35Speaker 2: particularly if they were confined, and so that helped a lot.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Oh that's showing. What did your cat? Oh did they
- 7:42Speaker 2: knock over the mug and break it?
- 7:43Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the last mug that she's broke, she's break.
- 7:47Speaker 5: She's gotten rid of thirty on indoor plants in the
- 7:49Speaker 5: two years I've had her, and all of the ornaments
- 7:52Speaker 5: have been broken.
- 7:53Speaker 3: And about three mugs.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Are you really anxious right now that your cat could
- 7:58Speaker 2: be doing something while you're stuck here the podcast?
- 8:00Speaker 5: I'm feeling like I'm not sure what my love language
- 8:03Speaker 5: is anymore?
- 8:04Speaker 1: Why do you keep buying indoor plans if you know
- 8:06Speaker 1: that their time is nine? No?
- 8:08Speaker 5: No, now I've got now I have artificial ones? Wow, yeah,
- 8:15Speaker 5: which she still causes chaos with.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I don't know the value of just is it just
- 8:20Speaker 1: an aesthetic thing?
- 8:21Speaker 3: Or do you like an aesthetic thing? Now?
- 8:24Speaker 2: Right?
- 8:24Speaker 1: And so all those ones I can see over your
- 8:26Speaker 1: left shoulder, there's about five. Are they fake?
- 8:30Speaker 5: Two of them are real? There's two that she hasn't
- 8:33Speaker 5: messed with. The other twenty eight odd They made their
- 8:38Speaker 5: way outside and eventually passed away.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Patrick. I don't want to throw an emotional spanner in
- 8:46Speaker 1: the works, but like we've been through this with Tiff,
- 8:48Speaker 1: where you know, one of the puppies died way way
- 8:52Speaker 1: way before she should have. How old is Fritz now?
- 8:58Speaker 2: It's that to ton nine on the first of so
- 9:00Speaker 2: we'll know he's.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Going to live to twenty five, so let's not worry.
- 9:03Speaker 1: But when he does turn twenty five and goes to
- 9:05Speaker 1: that big fucking kennel in the sky, are you going
- 9:08Speaker 1: to get another one?
- 9:09Speaker 2: I will be an emotional mess for quite a while.
- 9:13Speaker 2: My previous give you a bit of a snapshot. I've
- 9:15Speaker 2: only ever had two dogs, and my previous dog died
- 9:18Speaker 2: suddenly at the pet rumors, So it was quite a shock.
- 9:22Speaker 1: What.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was totally bereft. I was a blubbering idiot.
- 9:28Speaker 2: So yeah, I really struggled when I lost my first dog.
- 9:32Speaker 2: And to give you an idea of how bad it was.
- 9:35Speaker 2: For the next month after that, I'd go walking in
- 9:37Speaker 2: the morning with his ashes in my backpack because I
- 9:39Speaker 2: just felt I still wanted to walk him.
- 9:41Speaker 1: No, my god, that's the saddest thing ever.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Well, I just they are. That was the interesting thing.
- 9:50Speaker 2: People with dogs during COVID were less lonely, you know,
- 9:54Speaker 2: having a dog and that connection, you know, like I said,
- 9:56Speaker 2: I'm sitting I'm sitting here right now patting him. I
- 9:59Speaker 2: think for people, particularly older people or people who live alone,
- 10:02Speaker 2: it's great to have that company, to have that animal
- 10:06Speaker 2: next to you to talk to, to play with, you know,
- 10:08Speaker 2: and also the sense of reliance. I kind of like that,
- 10:12Speaker 2: you know, caring and talking about love languages. I mean,
- 10:16Speaker 2: you look after an animal. I've always felt and I've
- 10:18Speaker 2: always said that I'm not a pet owner. I feel
- 10:22Speaker 2: that I'm entrusted to look after the animal as opposed
- 10:26Speaker 2: to owning the animal.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I don't like owner, Like it
- 10:31Speaker 1: kind of infers that the animal is a commodity or
- 10:34Speaker 1: a product, you know, an item to be owned. Yeah.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I don't like that language either, because I don't think,
- 10:43Speaker 1: you know, I don't think we can own animals. Yeah,
- 10:49Speaker 1: Like I understand the language, but to me, it's the
- 10:51Speaker 1: wrong language.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's exactly why I never say I own Fritz.
- 10:56Speaker 2: I'm entrusted with him. And it's great. I think that
- 10:59Speaker 2: if you haven't had a dog and you have an
- 11:01Speaker 2: opportunity to babysit one's it's a lot of fun and
- 11:05Speaker 2: when you connect and if you're the same, I know
- 11:07Speaker 2: how much you love your dog and your cat on
- 11:10Speaker 2: some level. Hey, if you had to choose which one,
- 11:13Speaker 2: would you choose the dog the cat?
- 11:15Speaker 3: By choose, there's no choosing.
- 11:18Speaker 1: You can't ask it.
- 11:19Speaker 2: You can't ask it.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You can't ask I don't want to open the pain
- 11:23Speaker 1: door any wider than it's been opened, but fuck it,
- 11:26Speaker 1: I'm doing it on behalf of the curious listeners. You're welcome, listeners, Patrick.
- 11:31Speaker 1: How does somebody send their dog to the groomers and
- 11:34Speaker 1: the dog not come back as much or as little
- 11:37Speaker 1: as you want to share? And if that is zero,
- 11:39Speaker 1: that's fine, But I'm just curious.
- 11:42Speaker 2: What happened was Look, we think it may have been
- 11:45Speaker 2: a heart condition, you know, and the diet stressed when
- 11:50Speaker 2: they were being groomed. So but yeah, it was just
- 11:52Speaker 2: pretty awful. And look, the groomer was bereft as well.
- 11:56Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't just me. I mean, obviously they
- 11:58Speaker 2: didn't plan for that to happen, says he who got
- 12:01Speaker 2: there and started giving his dog mouth resuscitation. You know,
- 12:06Speaker 2: I know how to give CPI had a dog and
- 12:08Speaker 2: not a human.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not the worst skill to have. It's pretty
- 12:15Speaker 1: transferable too. So just think of the next person that's
- 12:18Speaker 1: lifeless as a big dog, and you'll be fine to.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Put your hand over their mouth and breathe into their nose.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Okay, you could even do that. You could do that.
- 12:26Speaker 1: You know it's not the preferred.
- 12:28Speaker 4: Model or operating system, but well, right, can we can
- 12:33Speaker 4: we talk about something more uplifting because everybody's reaching for
- 12:37Speaker 4: the fucking tissues and some anti depressing at the minute.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Can we Yeah, okay, here's a good one. How do
- 12:43Speaker 2: you want to feel like you're living a fuller, longer
- 12:47Speaker 2: enriched life.
- 12:49Speaker 1: We all do, right, Yes, I would think nobody's going
- 12:51Speaker 1: to say no to.
- 12:52Speaker 2: That, Isn't it interesting? Do you remember when you were
- 12:55Speaker 2: in primary school how school holidays went for a million years,
- 13:00Speaker 2: and when you're younger, everything takes longer. Everything felt like
- 13:03Speaker 2: it went for an eternity. School went for an eternity,
- 13:05Speaker 2: and then you went home, and then it was an eternity,
- 13:07Speaker 2: and then you went back to school again in the home.
- 13:09Speaker 2: So it's an interesting I guess psychological aspect to our
- 13:16Speaker 2: perception of who we are and what we do is
- 13:19Speaker 2: that the way we perceive the movement of time so constant,
- 13:24Speaker 2: and we experience it in the same way. Every minute
- 13:27Speaker 2: lasts the same for me and for you and for Tiff. However,
- 13:31Speaker 2: depending on what we're doing, that can change dramatically and
- 13:34Speaker 2: a good example is if you go the same place
- 13:38Speaker 2: to the same location for the first time you go there,
- 13:40Speaker 2: it seems like it takes a long time. Then as
- 13:42Speaker 2: you become more familiar with the route that you're taking,
- 13:45Speaker 2: it seems to take less time. The more familiarity, we're
- 13:48Speaker 2: not taking in new information. So if you want to
- 13:52Speaker 2: as you get older, you know, we say it all
- 13:54Speaker 2: the time. Gosh, you know, time flies, you know suddenly
- 13:57Speaker 2: you know you're sixty seven years old and every day
- 14:00Speaker 2: is a blink. But what it's thought is the way
- 14:05Speaker 2: to enhance your life. If you want to feel like
- 14:08Speaker 2: you're living a longer life, start doing newer things, learn
- 14:12Speaker 2: newer things, and not to be anything drastic. You know,
- 14:17Speaker 2: you could join my taichi class. No, but if you
- 14:22Speaker 2: think about it, anything new that you do takes more
- 14:25Speaker 2: mental focus. As a consequence, it's from a perception perspective,
- 14:30Speaker 2: it feels like it's taking longer, and so holding on
- 14:34Speaker 2: to a thought. You may be in meditation, you might
- 14:37Speaker 2: be praying, or you could be out learning a new skill.
- 14:39Speaker 2: You could be doing pottery, whatever it happens to be.
- 14:42Speaker 2: But doing new things can be really beneficial, and it
- 14:48Speaker 2: might be going a different way for your walk in
- 14:50Speaker 2: the morning, and suddenly you're seeing new things, taking notice
- 14:53Speaker 2: of new things, new flowers, new hills, you know, whatever
- 14:56Speaker 2: it happens to be. So it's just an interesting little
- 15:00Speaker 2: exercise that we can all do, and it's not expensive
- 15:02Speaker 2: and it doesn't take a lot of energy. It just
- 15:05Speaker 2: is about shifting the way that we think about what
- 15:07Speaker 2: we're doing to try to make our life, according to neuroscience,
- 15:11Speaker 2: more fuller.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I love it. And also there's the that actually makes
- 15:17Speaker 1: sense and I haven't really thought of that, but I've
- 15:19Speaker 1: always been fascinated with the constant that is time versus
- 15:24Speaker 1: our perception and our individual experience of that constant, because
- 15:29Speaker 1: you're right, like, if you're in the middle of something
- 15:31Speaker 1: fucking horrible, five minutes seems like five hours, and if
- 15:35Speaker 1: you're in a complete state of flow and maybe euphoria,
- 15:40Speaker 1: an hour can seem like three or four minutes, you know,
- 15:44Speaker 1: because that's the way that we process it. But I
- 15:47Speaker 1: think also when you're doing new things, apart from that
- 15:50Speaker 1: kind of different perception of time, you know, you're having
- 15:56Speaker 1: a new experience, like you're learning something and you may
- 15:59Speaker 1: be opening the door to you know, a different set
- 16:03Speaker 1: of you know, or a different lot of biochemistry happening
- 16:07Speaker 1: in the brain because you're you're tapping into new things.
- 16:10Speaker 1: And yeah, I like it. It makes sense too. But
- 16:13Speaker 1: also think about this. When you're four, like twelve months
- 16:18Speaker 1: is twenty five percent of your life, but when you're sixty,
- 16:23Speaker 1: like me, it's not even two percent, you know, So
- 16:27Speaker 1: there is that that relative to the age of the
- 16:31Speaker 1: individual kind of factor as well.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Well. What are the things you can think if you're
- 16:36Speaker 2: brushing your teeth and you have to use your non
- 16:38Speaker 2: dominant hand because you're focusing so much harder, it seems
- 16:43Speaker 2: to take a lot longer, doesn't it. Yes, yes, you
- 16:47Speaker 2: know those neural pathways of focus and attention. It's actually
- 16:52Speaker 2: an interesting thing to do. I always take my tell
- 16:55Speaker 2: my tie cheese students to brush their teeth standing on
- 16:58Speaker 2: one foot and that way. It's a good thing for
- 17:01Speaker 2: core stability, and also because they're moving their hands up
- 17:04Speaker 2: and down, you're getting those micro movements and you're having
- 17:06Speaker 2: to readjust your balance constantly. It's just so simple. It
- 17:10Speaker 2: doesn't take much at all, but you turn something really
- 17:12Speaker 2: mundane into something you've got to focus on a lot more.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Now I do the same thing I used to tell
- 17:17Speaker 1: people to dry the dishes on one foot, so and
- 17:20Speaker 1: that's same thing. You've got to reach over, grab the thing,
- 17:23Speaker 1: grab the bowl, grab your tea towel, drive, put it
- 17:26Speaker 1: on the bench. Reach. Yeah. Yeah, doing old things in
- 17:30Speaker 1: new ways is a great way to keep young and
- 17:34Speaker 1: to keep your body and your brain kind of evolving
- 17:37Speaker 1: because you're not doing you're not stuck in groundtog day
- 17:41Speaker 1: in terms of mindset or behavior or action. Taking.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Yeah, across the road from your place that you go
- 17:48Speaker 2: to a lot, Well, instead of walking across the road,
- 17:51Speaker 2: walk around the block the opposite way.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Hm hmm.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you say that. I typically have been
- 17:57Speaker 1: running two or three k's three times a week, and
- 18:00Speaker 1: I do the same course, and I started doing a
- 18:03Speaker 1: different course. I enjoy it so much more. Like every
- 18:05Speaker 1: time I just go somewhere different now, which is to
- 18:09Speaker 1: your point, And I didn't even think about it. I
- 18:11Speaker 1: just thought, I'm just going to I'm sick of this
- 18:14Speaker 1: particular route because I know exactly how long it is,
- 18:17Speaker 1: so when I get to certain points, I know what
- 18:19Speaker 1: time I should be at because I'm not competitive at all.
- 18:23Speaker 1: And then but now just going in different spaces and
- 18:27Speaker 1: places and directions every time I actually am having more fun.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Did the stalking charges help make you change your route
- 18:33Speaker 2: as well?
- 18:35Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean sure, I mean there's that, and
- 18:38Speaker 1: also the divvy van that follows me as I run,
- 18:41Speaker 1: which I mean that's a little disconcerting, but don't say that.
- 18:46Speaker 1: People think you serious. All right, tell us about wherever
- 18:50Speaker 1: you want to go. I'm not at the Tetris effect.
- 18:52Speaker 1: What is the Tetris effect? I love Tetris, by the.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Way, on me too. Tetris is one of the best
- 18:57Speaker 2: games ever because it is so mentally challenging. The Tetris effect.
- 19:02Speaker 2: It was discovered or if you play a game of
- 19:06Speaker 2: Tetris for quite a lengthy amount of time and then
- 19:09Speaker 2: you go to bed, it was found that some people
- 19:12Speaker 2: who are gamers were visualizing subconsciously the Tetris effect, So
- 19:17Speaker 2: the Tetris blocks turning around. So people know what tetrises.
- 19:21Speaker 2: I'm assuming people know Tetris.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Well, I would think half doo and half days.
- 19:24Speaker 2: So it's like all it is is basically a screen
- 19:28Speaker 2: where you've got colored blocks that are falling down and
- 19:31Speaker 2: you have to rearrange the blocks so that they stack
- 19:33Speaker 2: a long row. And then if you complete a row,
- 19:36Speaker 2: the road then disappears, So you can belong the game
- 19:39Speaker 2: by doing that. Is that kind of makes sense?
- 19:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I wouldn't think of Yeah yeah, but
- 19:44Speaker 1: I think anyone who's listening to this who's twenty five
- 19:47Speaker 1: or thirty even or younger, they're definitely not saying Tetris
- 19:50Speaker 1: is awesome. They're going, you are such a fucking granddad,
- 19:54Speaker 1: Tetris is awesome. It's like going, oh, have you seen
- 19:57Speaker 1: table tennis? Fucking hell, it's the next big thing.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Okay, right, oh yeah.
- 20:07Speaker 1: We weren't playing it in the eighties, which is forty
- 20:10Speaker 1: years ago, Grandpa, it was a long time, agodly groundbreaking.
- 20:15Speaker 1: What about tetris though? That's big? No, it's not.
- 20:21Speaker 2: So. This researcher a govern the number Robert stick Gold.
- 20:25Speaker 2: He that's not a real name name, not a.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Real name, that's a pseudonym. He named Brian mcgilla cuddy.
- 20:35Speaker 2: So what he realized was he named the phenomenon after
- 20:39Speaker 2: the puzzle because this usually happens when you're doing repetitive
- 20:43Speaker 2: tasks just prior to going to sleep. But there actually
- 20:47Speaker 2: is a positive flow and effect from this, because what
- 20:49Speaker 2: they're talking about doing is using this tetris effect people
- 20:53Speaker 2: with PTSD. So people who have trouble sleeping, they want
- 20:58Speaker 2: to do is they try to get the to play
- 21:01Speaker 2: the game when they're recalling whatever the trauma happens to be,
- 21:05Speaker 2: and it reworks the memory and write is it rewrites
- 21:09Speaker 2: to the mental hard drive. And they're saying it can
- 21:12Speaker 2: help lessen the impact of the memory when used in
- 21:16Speaker 2: conjunction with playing a video game like this.
- 21:19Speaker 1: That is really interesting. We call that that you know,
- 21:22Speaker 1: when there's a stimulus, like you think about like that
- 21:25Speaker 1: neuro association, that thought has a neurological kind of consequence
- 21:31Speaker 1: in the body and where that that trauma? Yeah, that
- 21:35Speaker 1: that's clever. That's clever, Like I have this neuro association.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Did you ever eat that that meat? What was it called? That?
- 21:44Speaker 1: Like lunch meat? It was called no, not spam. It
- 21:48Speaker 1: was you know in those big tubes that your mum
- 21:50Speaker 1: used to slice. Oh my god, not salami, No, not salami,
- 21:54Speaker 1: no salamis. It was like I forget.
- 21:58Speaker 2: It was very the meat products for crying out.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Yeah no, but you haven't always been a vegan. You
- 22:04Speaker 1: used to eat fucking charred animal flesh. Don't don't pretend
- 22:08Speaker 1: you grew up eating carrots. Anyway, I ate some of
- 22:11Speaker 1: this sandwich meat. Essentially it is just shit. And I
- 22:15Speaker 1: got violently ill. I got food poisoning, and I used
- 22:18Speaker 1: to love it, and then I got food poisoning. And
- 22:21Speaker 1: then even now the if you gave me, if you
- 22:25Speaker 1: just put that in front of me, I start to
- 22:28Speaker 1: dry reach and that was I was so ill.
- 22:32Speaker 2: And it was.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Because of that stuff. And every time I would spew,
- 22:35Speaker 1: I could taste it, and oh my god. Yeah, but
- 22:39Speaker 1: that's forty years later and I still can't even think
- 22:41Speaker 1: about it.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Well, talking about processed meat, I did actually try a
- 22:45Speaker 2: thing called tongue and versed once, what do you reckon
- 22:49Speaker 2: toungu in verst is?
- 22:50Speaker 1: I think it is a German product involving tongue.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Correct, And it's basically sliced tongue, and the slices of
- 22:59Speaker 2: the show the shape of the tongue.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, my old man. Mild Man's like that, mild man,
- 23:06Speaker 1: He'll it fucking everything that you don't want it, like
- 23:09Speaker 1: tongue off lanes, like liver. I know people are going
- 23:13Speaker 1: to go live. It's amazing live, Its fucking horrible.
- 23:18Speaker 2: The reason life sounds like awful.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Oh it is, it is, all right, So tell me
- 23:24Speaker 1: about screen fatigue, because I feel like this might be
- 23:27Speaker 1: something to which I'm susceptible. And everyone really.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Well, after the show today, I've got an eye appointment
- 23:33Speaker 2: to get an eye check up, so I haven't got
- 23:36Speaker 2: glasses yet, and every time I go for one of
- 23:38Speaker 2: my annual checkup, I think high end. It's now, isn't it.
- 23:41Speaker 2: It's got to be now glasses anyway. So screen fatigue,
- 23:47Speaker 2: it's something that's becoming more prevalent. And so there are
- 23:52Speaker 2: a number of different dangers associated with screen fatigue, and
- 23:55Speaker 2: I say dangers with an emphasis on well I came
- 23:58Speaker 2: quite so dangerous. But there are some problems that you
- 24:01Speaker 2: can you can you know you can have. And one
- 24:04Speaker 2: of the little rules that you can try to remember
- 24:08Speaker 2: this is from the American Optometric Association Optometric Optometric. I guess,
- 24:12Speaker 2: so let's go optometric. I think it sounds good anyway.
- 24:15Speaker 2: They advise what they call the twenty twenty twenty rule. Okay,
- 24:19Speaker 2: so every twenty minutes, look at something twenty feet away
- 24:22Speaker 2: for at least twenty seconds.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yep, yeah, that's that's good advice. It is like,
- 24:29Speaker 1: look at something in the distance is like, look at
- 24:32Speaker 1: the horizon, there's another one they go which you know,
- 24:35Speaker 1: however far that is for you.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Well, I've set up my desk specifically so that the
- 24:39Speaker 2: windows on the side and I can look down the
- 24:42Speaker 2: driveway well as I can see people coming up and
- 24:44Speaker 2: down the driveway. V It means I do have a
- 24:47Speaker 2: long distance viewable angle. Because if you're looking at a
- 24:50Speaker 2: screen for a long time, what it can do is
- 24:53Speaker 2: it causes dry eyes and irritation. So that's the prolonged time.
- 24:56Speaker 2: It means that we don't actually blink as much when
- 24:59Speaker 2: we look at screen. Yeah, this is typically blinking it
- 25:03Speaker 2: like millions miles an hour. So that then causes dry
- 25:07Speaker 2: eyes and irritation. So when we look at us, it's interesting,
- 25:09Speaker 2: isn't it that we we are subconsciously not blinking as
- 25:12Speaker 2: much when we look at it a screen. It's so
- 25:14Speaker 2: so weet.
- 25:15Speaker 1: I've got a trick a hack. What if we had
- 25:17Speaker 1: a huge screen, but we put it twenty feet away,
- 25:21Speaker 1: so we're always looking at something twenty feet away. Yeah, yeah, no,
- 25:28Speaker 1: I that seemed like what seemed like the advice is,
- 25:32Speaker 1: you know, looking at something twenty feet away is good
- 25:34Speaker 1: for our eyes. What if our screen was twenty feet Well,
- 25:37Speaker 1: we have like one hundred inch TV and that became your.
- 25:40Speaker 3: Screens in a house that big.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Patrick does does close every twenty minutes. Look at something close?
- 25:50Speaker 1: Can I here's the pause button for a moment. Now
- 25:52Speaker 1: you sent I think you sent Tiff as well? You
- 25:55Speaker 1: sent me and Tiff well you sent me? Did he
- 25:58Speaker 1: send them to you? Those photos tif?
- 25:59Speaker 3: Yes? Yeh.
- 26:00Speaker 1: So some were a bunch of flowers and outdoor beautiful things,
- 26:04Speaker 1: but one was a big room, empty looking room. I'm
- 26:08Speaker 1: assuming that's the new chie study. Yeah, yeah, so finished.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Yeah, so you for.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Those who haven't been listening, you're turning your garage what
- 26:18Speaker 1: is a large garage because you're rich into a tai
- 26:22Speaker 1: chi to studio. Yes, I can say that ten times fast.
- 26:27Speaker 1: And it looks good. It looks good. What's the update?
- 26:31Speaker 4: Like?
- 26:31Speaker 1: Where are you at? Oh?
- 26:32Speaker 2: This has been an exciting thing for me. I haven't
- 26:34Speaker 2: really done much in the way of Renault's before, but
- 26:37Speaker 2: I've got a really great builder, and so it's a
- 26:40Speaker 2: massive garage. It's like nine meters by five meters. It's enormous.
- 26:44Speaker 2: You could fit three four cars in it easily. More
- 26:47Speaker 2: of course, but the idea being is that because I
- 26:51Speaker 2: do teach tai chi, but if I want to do
- 26:53Speaker 2: one on one or small sessions, it's kind of expensive
- 26:57Speaker 2: to hire out a location to do at a hall
- 26:59Speaker 2: or something like that. And you know, I was one
- 27:02Speaker 2: of those people that I just stored crap in my garage.
- 27:05Speaker 2: It's very cathartic throwing things away. I had two skips
- 27:08Speaker 2: so far, and I've got another skip coming soon to
- 27:11Speaker 2: throw more stuff away coming soon.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Do you not have any shit that you can give
- 27:15Speaker 1: to people? Like good shit?
- 27:17Speaker 2: You know I've given away some stuff. Yes, No, I certainly.
- 27:19Speaker 2: I've been trying to give away a beautiful art deco wardrobe,
- 27:22Speaker 2: but people don't want wardrobes anymore.
- 27:25Speaker 1: No, I think it might be that wardrobe.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, so anyway, in answer to your question the paint.
- 27:31Speaker 1: I don't know that that art deco and beautiful go
- 27:33Speaker 1: in the same sentence, do they?
- 27:35Speaker 2: My whole house is art deco decorate, We're not the.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Whole rest my case.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, I'm going to restind my invitation.
- 27:43Speaker 1: With ha ha oh. No, I love your house and
- 27:47Speaker 1: you I've never even seen it, but he's answering your question. Sorry, oh, man, jeez,
- 27:55Speaker 1: I'm an only child. I have a predisposition for interruption.
- 27:59Speaker 2: You do. So the painting has been done, very excited,
- 28:03Speaker 2: and then the plumber is due next week and the electrician,
- 28:05Speaker 2: so I wanted to get the painting done before that
- 28:07Speaker 2: and then it'll be all good to go.
- 28:09Speaker 1: What's on the floor, what's going to be?
- 28:11Speaker 2: I've just put green tongue on the floor at the
- 28:13Speaker 2: moment because I've kind of run out of money. So
- 28:15Speaker 2: if you're not familiar with green tongue, it's kind of
- 28:17Speaker 2: a it's it's the like chipboard, so maybe enemy to
- 28:21Speaker 2: thick chipboard that links together. But the green tongue as
- 28:24Speaker 2: opposed to the I think orange tongue is more it's
- 28:28Speaker 2: more water resistant. So I've just locked that down on
- 28:31Speaker 2: the concrete.
- 28:31Speaker 1: And is it b yo matts?
- 28:33Speaker 2: No, no, no, we don't do You don't use mats for
- 28:35Speaker 2: ti chi. You just do it in soft shoes like
- 28:37Speaker 2: runners and that sort of stuff.
- 28:38Speaker 1: Really, don't you ever get on your back or anything?
- 28:42Speaker 2: No? Ti chee is a slow moving martial art form,
- 28:45Speaker 2: so I guess only if you fall down.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Well, in my version of tie chi, we do it
- 28:51Speaker 1: on our back, so you clearly haven't evolved. So if
- 28:56Speaker 1: you want to do what I like to call a
- 29:00Speaker 1: supine tichi, just hit me up.
- 29:06Speaker 2: There are different forms of tie chief for people who
- 29:09Speaker 2: are incapacitated, So if they're in a wheelchair or whatever,
- 29:11Speaker 2: they can do the upper body parts of the tie
- 29:13Speaker 2: chi movement I'm beating is now, by the way, increased
- 29:18Speaker 2: stress and anxiety is also something that's associated with looking
- 29:22Speaker 2: at screens and talking to Craig Harper.
- 29:26Speaker 1: And imagine if you're talking to Craig Arper on a screen,
- 29:28Speaker 1: it's like the fucking double banger, absolutely double wordy.
- 29:33Speaker 2: That's funny al right now on Long twenty twenty twenty, Craigo.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Okay twenty twenty twenty, Yes exactly.
- 29:41Speaker 2: Hey have you heard of a new term called raw dogging.
- 29:46Speaker 1: I don't think that's a new term, Patrick. I think
- 29:48Speaker 1: that's an old term, and I think it refers to
- 29:53Speaker 1: sexual relations without appropriate protection. That is exactly what it's
- 29:58Speaker 1: referring to.
- 29:59Speaker 2: Not now, not by the funky cool trendy YouTubers.
- 30:04Speaker 1: M see, I don't know those of us who are
- 30:07Speaker 1: older than twenty raw dogging is. My mum was against it.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Choose to say to me if it's not on, it's
- 30:15Speaker 1: not on. And I'd say yes, mum, but get out
- 30:19Speaker 1: of the room though, and and what are you doing
- 30:28Speaker 1: with the handicam? Go away? Ah? Fuck, I see this
- 30:43Speaker 1: is a problem.
- 30:43Speaker 3: If it's not on, it's not on.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not on, it's not on. This is what
- 30:47Speaker 1: happens when you do sixteen hundred podcasts and you're in
- 30:52Speaker 1: a little bit of pain. Which we won't open the
- 30:54Speaker 1: door on that, but you need to know what I'm
- 30:55Speaker 1: talking about. I've had some drugs this morning. I'm in pain,
- 30:59Speaker 1: so I'm not responsible for what comes out of my mouth.
- 31:02Speaker 2: It just occurred to me, Tiff, that if you come
- 31:04Speaker 2: from a one child family, whereas I'm from a four
- 31:07Speaker 2: child family, I've got a twenty five percent less chance
- 31:11Speaker 2: of someone walking in on me.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Yeah, statistically, that was That was the big fear of
- 31:19Speaker 1: my teenageers.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Your parents.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you don't want that, do you. That's the no.
- 31:28Speaker 1: I don't even want to think about. Isn't it funny
- 31:30Speaker 1: how everyone's creeped out by that thought. I don't even
- 31:33Speaker 1: want to say the thought, but you know you can.
- 31:35Speaker 1: You know, Mum and dad. You don't want to think
- 31:38Speaker 1: about that, do you.
- 31:39Speaker 2: No, no, sorry to all the parents.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Sorry, what did you just say before tiff distracted us?
- 31:46Speaker 2: What raw dogging?
- 31:48Speaker 4: Oh?
- 31:48Speaker 1: Yeah? What is what is the the contemporary equivalent of
- 31:52Speaker 1: raw dogging?
- 31:53Speaker 2: Well, I can't look at the screen because I'm tear
- 31:55Speaker 2: it up, tear it up so muchses. By the end
- 31:58Speaker 2: of this, raw dogging is now a term.
- 32:02Speaker 1: He stop saying raw dogging.
- 32:06Speaker 3: I'm going to roar dog into India.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Ah God, next month. I'll tell you what I don't think.
- 32:15Speaker 1: I don't think you want to raw dog in general.
- 32:17Speaker 1: But no, it doesn't matter. Dirty on harps, fucking get
- 32:22Speaker 1: your filter and click. It's back on, Patrick and go.
- 32:28Speaker 2: I feel like I need to a polish Can you edit.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Out everything up until now? Please? Hi everyone, Welcome to
- 32:35Speaker 1: the show. Patrick, great to see you.
- 32:38Speaker 2: I don't think you should edit any of this out.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Just make him suffer through it. No, okay. So raw
- 32:42Speaker 2: dogging is a new term where someone gets onto a
- 32:45Speaker 2: plane and they go into a state of almost trance
- 32:50Speaker 2: like state and they do nothing. They don't eat, they
- 32:53Speaker 2: don't drink, they don't read anything, they don't listen to anything.
- 32:56Speaker 2: I don't watch anything. It's become this trendy thing. A
- 32:59Speaker 2: guy what the name of a Damien Bailey who's a
- 33:03Speaker 2: big insta person, reckons he achieved his personal best at
- 33:07Speaker 2: thirteen and a half hour flight between Shanghai and Dallas
- 33:10Speaker 2: without any inflight entertainment, films, books, or music. So it's
- 33:15Speaker 2: generally blokes. Of course, it's going to be blokes who
- 33:18Speaker 2: do this, and they're the alpha male types. So the
- 33:21Speaker 2: three of us, it's going to be you, I.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Reckon TIFF's more of an alpha male than both of us.
- 33:28Speaker 1: But also like there's all these monks that have been
- 33:30Speaker 1: living in caves just living on fucking oxygen for thirty
- 33:34Speaker 1: years who are like.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Ah, so what they're not on a plane at a
- 33:40Speaker 2: high altitude in potential DVT cross So wow, So.
- 33:47Speaker 1: What is what's the what's the outcome or what's the
- 33:51Speaker 1: intended outcome? Like just that they're going through this, like
- 33:56Speaker 1: this momentary kind of scarcity of technology or food or
- 34:01Speaker 1: water or stimulation or something.
- 34:04Speaker 2: It's a challenge. I guess they're challenging themselves to be
- 34:08Speaker 2: in the moment to focus on you know, that particular duration.
- 34:13Speaker 2: And one guy did a fifteen hour flight to Melbourne.
- 34:17Speaker 2: I mean that's crazy. An Australian music producer by the
- 34:20Speaker 2: name of Torron Foot.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Yes, that is a name I have heard of this,
- 34:25Speaker 1: I didn't think it was called raw dogging, but also
- 34:28Speaker 1: hashtag don't pick the middle seat or there's going to
- 34:31Speaker 1: be no fucking raw dogging. You're going to be constantly
- 34:34Speaker 1: shuffling your knees side ways while Brian with the tiny
- 34:37Speaker 1: bladder is stepping over the top of you.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, what was interesting though is people have been
- 34:42Speaker 2: posting responses to it, and one medical expert said, they're idiots.
- 34:47Speaker 2: That was the great they're idiots. Well, because you know,
- 34:50Speaker 2: it's not a good thing. Some people are going without
- 34:53Speaker 2: food and water as well, and when, of course you're
- 34:55Speaker 2: on a long haul flight, they say hydration is important.
- 34:57Speaker 2: And if you're not hydrated and you don't move around,
- 35:00Speaker 2: do you increase some really serious health risks?
- 35:03Speaker 1: You know, Well, if you're getting dehydrated, your blood's getting
- 35:06Speaker 1: thicker because you're sweating, and obviously blah blah blah. So
- 35:10Speaker 1: I would think the well that I would think I
- 35:12Speaker 1: could almost guarantee the risk of deep vein thrombosis as
- 35:17Speaker 1: you alluded to, Patrick, or stroke or heart attack because
- 35:20Speaker 1: the higher the level of viscosity of your blood, or
- 35:24Speaker 1: in other words, the thicker it is and the less
- 35:26Speaker 1: volume you have, the more risk you are. So I
- 35:29Speaker 1: would think, at the very least, drink some waterer. Do
- 35:31Speaker 1: everything else but drink some water.
- 35:33Speaker 2: It's interesting that a business psychologist says, oh, it's probably
- 35:37Speaker 2: a good thing. You know, people can be quietly reflecting.
- 35:40Speaker 2: But it's the medical people I think I would be
- 35:43Speaker 2: listening to, not the business psychologists.
- 35:45Speaker 1: I also think, I don't mean, that's not poopoing your
- 35:48Speaker 1: story because it's quirky and it's interesting, which is what
- 35:50Speaker 1: we like. But how the fuck is this news? Like,
- 35:53Speaker 1: how's somebody sitting on a plane not drinking? Like? How
- 35:56Speaker 1: is that with all the shit that's going on in
- 35:58Speaker 1: the world.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Well, guess what. These are famous TikTokers and famous people,
- 36:03Speaker 2: all stars, and young people will copy them. That's the problem,
- 36:08Speaker 2: because people copy them. It's like planking. Remember when planking
- 36:11Speaker 2: was really big and people fell off buildings and stuff.
- 36:13Speaker 2: It happens, So yeah, influences people to do stupid things.
- 36:19Speaker 1: I know.
- 36:20Speaker 2: I know in Russia they have signs on train crossings
- 36:25Speaker 2: telling people not to take selfies on the train tracks
- 36:28Speaker 2: because people get run over by trains taking selfies.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think if you were that young, your
- 36:35Speaker 1: ears would be better than that. You would think that
- 36:39Speaker 1: you should hear that shit coming.
- 36:41Speaker 2: You would. You would've probably got, you know, headphones on
- 36:45Speaker 2: or something. All right, plow on, plow on. I saw
- 36:51Speaker 2: a really interesting article in The Verge. It's a I
- 36:55Speaker 2: listened to the I'll watch the Verge. Read the Verge anyway,
- 36:58Speaker 2: Ellison Johnson, I quite like it stuff. She was talking
- 37:01Speaker 2: about a new feature on the Google Pixel nine phone.
- 37:04Speaker 2: It's just about to come out. So there has been
- 37:07Speaker 2: a feature. And this is why I sent you some
- 37:09Speaker 2: photos this morning. You're probably wondering why. I say, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 37:12Speaker 1: I did see like nature photos which were quite pretty.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Yeah. I took them yesterday in the last twenty four hours.
- 37:17Speaker 2: I just took a selection of photos whilst I was
- 37:19Speaker 2: out walking. At one point I drove tobacco smash and
- 37:23Speaker 2: I stopped outside a canola field and took some really
- 37:27Speaker 2: gorgeous photos of the canola. We all not know those
- 37:30Speaker 2: big fields of canola with the white glowy the yellow
- 37:33Speaker 2: kind of glow to them when the sun's setting. But
- 37:37Speaker 2: Google's Pixel phones and a lot of the new phones
- 37:39Speaker 2: now have things called magic eraser tools. But the next
- 37:43Speaker 2: level up from that is now you can place objects
- 37:47Speaker 2: into the scene. So not only can you take people
- 37:49Speaker 2: out of the scene, but one of the photos I've
- 37:52Speaker 2: seen she was the Canola shot with a shadow of me,
- 37:55Speaker 2: and then a photo of the same shot with the
- 37:57Speaker 2: shadow removed, so you can it's an you know, I
- 38:01Speaker 2: didn't like the shadow, but in some ways the shadow
- 38:03Speaker 2: is not bad.
- 38:04Speaker 1: That's you can see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 38:06Speaker 2: I just used the magic eraser to get rid of
- 38:08Speaker 2: the shadow. It took me maybe three or four seconds.
- 38:11Speaker 1: That is amazing, isn't it. So if you've got like
- 38:14Speaker 1: an old photo with a couple of mates but one
- 38:16Speaker 1: of them to fuck with and you on him out, yep,
- 38:19Speaker 1: you can get rid of the fuck with and just
- 38:21Speaker 1: have you and your mates and go. This was us
- 38:23Speaker 1: in two thousand and six at the races.
- 38:25Speaker 2: But you're changing history and get rid of Jason Nay.
- 38:28Speaker 1: History remains the same, it's just the record of it
- 38:31Speaker 1: it changes.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Well, the thing is the concern is when we're introducing
- 38:36Speaker 2: these tools, what does it mean about the art of photography.
- 38:41Speaker 2: If I said to you, if I if I said,
- 38:43Speaker 2: Tam and Square think of an image related to conflict,
- 38:48Speaker 2: and Square, yeah, what we.
- 38:50Speaker 1: All think of that young that poor young girl running
- 38:54Speaker 1: in front of the tank, which was fucking one of
- 38:56Speaker 1: the most tragic.
- 38:57Speaker 2: And it was a guy. But yeah, that's was it?
- 38:59Speaker 1: A boy?
- 39:00Speaker 2: A guy? Yep, a student standing in front of the tank.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Resistant No, no, no, no, there's another photo of a
- 39:06Speaker 1: young naked child running.
- 39:08Speaker 2: And yes, that's the napalm girl. That's from Vietnam.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Yes, oh that's Vietnam, is it?
- 39:12Speaker 2: But again, there's two iconic visions. One is the student
- 39:15Speaker 2: standing in front of the tank in front of Townerman
- 39:17Speaker 2: Square ones the naked girl running away from napalm as
- 39:20Speaker 2: an explosion goes off in the background, you know, the
- 39:23Speaker 2: American flag being lifted, you know, the soldiers holding the flag.
- 39:27Speaker 2: So when we think of these snapshots of history and
- 39:31Speaker 2: then we can so easily change them, what does it
- 39:34Speaker 2: do to our perception of what the past is when
- 39:37Speaker 2: you can change it so readily and make it look
- 39:39Speaker 2: so real. And that's the concern now, that it's so
- 39:43Speaker 2: easy using these AI tools to change what we would
- 39:47Speaker 2: think of as a snapshot in time as reality, and
- 39:50Speaker 2: so people are concerned about this, and it was just
- 39:53Speaker 2: interested about this article. It was, you know, because you
- 39:56Speaker 2: can now take a standard streetscape and you could put
- 40:00Speaker 2: a smoking wreck of a burnt out car there. You know,
- 40:04Speaker 2: that's the concern that you could then post it as
- 40:06Speaker 2: fake news. There was an article recently, I think it
- 40:10Speaker 2: was during the American campaign that's on at the moment.
- 40:13Speaker 2: It might have been related to Biden. I think that
- 40:16Speaker 2: an American telco was fined a million dollars for running
- 40:21Speaker 2: an ad where they had a depiction of Joe Biden
- 40:25Speaker 2: and it was not actually him and it wasn't endorsing
- 40:28Speaker 2: the product. So it's so easy to do that now.
- 40:31Speaker 1: But this is everywhere now, I mean, this is every
- 40:33Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Rogan has his voice because there's so
- 40:38Speaker 1: much of his face and his image, his body is
- 40:41Speaker 1: you know, video audio. He's been used like constantly by
- 40:46Speaker 1: companies making ads where TIFFs just made something with Okay,
- 40:54Speaker 1: that's funny, Tiff, she just did a.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Photo of you and I on screen with the ponetograph
- 41:00Speaker 2: I took yesterday.
- 41:02Speaker 5: So I just pushed the profile picture from both of
- 41:05Speaker 5: your facebooks onto the photo you were describing to the
- 41:08Speaker 5: audience like you were there together having assentide.
- 41:11Speaker 1: Can you send that to me right now? Which is
- 41:13Speaker 1: not good for the audience for me, But yeah, I'm
- 41:16Speaker 1: with you, Patrick, But this is the door that we've opened, right,
- 41:18Speaker 1: I mean, now, how do you It doesn't change history,
- 41:22Speaker 1: because history is history, but it changes what we think
- 41:26Speaker 1: perhaps history was, you know, and I guess this is
- 41:29Speaker 1: about you know, it's like when, if what was it?
- 41:35Speaker 1: If you're go into chat GPT and you say, what
- 41:38Speaker 1: happened on whatever the day Donald Trump got shot? We've
- 41:42Speaker 1: spoken about this once, but what happened on this date
- 41:44Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania or whatever it was? And it says there
- 41:51Speaker 1: was an event, a former there was a shooting, a
- 41:55Speaker 1: former president was injured, but no one else was hurt.
- 42:00Speaker 1: But it doesn't say that, you know, a fire a
- 42:03Speaker 1: fireman was killed, other people were injured, and Donald Trump
- 42:08Speaker 1: got shot. It doesn't it because for whatever reason, it's
- 42:11Speaker 1: been programmed to be you know, pro certain things and
- 42:15Speaker 1: anti other things. So getting absolute objective data whether or
- 42:19Speaker 1: not we like that or don't like that or agree
- 42:23Speaker 1: with that, this is becoming a slipperer and slipprier landscape
- 42:27Speaker 1: because we don't know what is real because fiction is
- 42:31Speaker 1: being presented as fact from a range of kind of directions,
- 42:35Speaker 1: And yeah, it's hard. It's hard when you don't know
- 42:39Speaker 1: the truth and then you look something up, like I'm
- 42:42Speaker 1: constantly sent things by people like thirty times a day.
- 42:47Speaker 1: The crab is usually ten of them, by the way,
- 42:50Speaker 1: but people sending me research in inverted commas, and some
- 42:54Speaker 1: of them like, fuck, that's amazing. Then I go and
- 42:56Speaker 1: I look for the paper and the paper doesn't exist.
- 42:59Speaker 1: That is not real research, you know, like it didn't
- 43:03Speaker 1: this paper, this alleged paper, it's not real. It's a fraud.
- 43:06Speaker 1: There's not actually. But you can make things look like
- 43:09Speaker 1: science really easily now, and you can make things look
- 43:13Speaker 1: like historical events. As you're alluding to, what do you
- 43:17Speaker 1: think that what do you think that's going to look
- 43:20Speaker 1: like in five or ten years? Do you think we're
- 43:23Speaker 1: just not going to know what is real and what
- 43:25Speaker 1: is not? It's a frightening thought. I think that's a
- 43:28Speaker 1: really good question that we all should be asking at
- 43:30Speaker 1: the moment. You know, how do we spot a fake?
- 43:33Speaker 1: How do we spot a deep fake? How do we
- 43:35Speaker 1: spot fake news?
- 43:37Speaker 2: I don't know that there's an answer at the moment,
- 43:38Speaker 2: because technology is leap frogging legislation. You know, technology is
- 43:43Speaker 2: out there. Google's putting out their new phone and it's
- 43:46Speaker 2: using it's turned its magic erase button in to reimagine,
- 43:50Speaker 2: so reimagine the scene so that you can place objects
- 43:53Speaker 2: in there. So suddenly, you know, someone meditating is now
- 43:57Speaker 2: going to bond next to them. You know, yeah, hi,
- 44:01Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 44:01Speaker 1: You could yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 44:04Speaker 2: But it's seamless. You know what would have taken somebody
- 44:06Speaker 2: who was a real adept at photoshop. Well, that that
- 44:09Speaker 2: photograph that I sent you of the canola field. There
- 44:12Speaker 2: was grass on the side of the road. It was
- 44:14Speaker 2: dried yellow grass. But if I was to have photoshopped that,
- 44:18Speaker 2: I would have meticulously made sure the grass, the movement
- 44:22Speaker 2: of the grass was matched in me that I was
- 44:24Speaker 2: trying to remove the shadow from. But with that AI tool,
- 44:27Speaker 2: it did it in seconds. Yes, he did in a
- 44:30Speaker 2: lot of ways. But you know, and then again, the
- 44:33Speaker 2: other thing is I prefer the photo with my shadow
- 44:37Speaker 2: in it because it shows a shadow of me holding
- 44:40Speaker 2: a camera taking over the canola field. So the shadow
- 44:43Speaker 2: says a lot about what time of day it was,
- 44:46Speaker 2: where I was. I was by the side of the
- 44:48Speaker 2: road taking a photo over a fence at a really
- 44:51Speaker 2: beautiful scene. So I've lost something in that image by
- 44:55Speaker 2: being the shadow of me, I've removed me from the image.
- 44:58Speaker 1: Now. I watched an ap so the other night of Insight,
- 45:02Speaker 1: do you watch that? I feel like you'd be interested
- 45:04Speaker 1: in that. Anyway, they were talking about the education system
- 45:07Speaker 1: and they had students and they had professors, and they
- 45:10Speaker 1: had lecturers and they're just talking about the good and
- 45:12Speaker 1: bad and they had like current undergrad students and postgrad students,
- 45:19Speaker 1: like young people, and they set up people cheating using
- 45:24Speaker 1: chat GPT and they all said yes. And one girl
- 45:29Speaker 1: who wasn't identified as in they didn't show her face,
- 45:32Speaker 1: you could just see her from the back. She's like, essentially,
- 45:35Speaker 1: I'm doing my degree using chat GPT. We're talking about
- 45:39Speaker 1: undergrad but still it's like it's it's I think that
- 45:45Speaker 1: one of the things that's going to happen unless we
- 45:47Speaker 1: figure out a solution or an antidote, is that the
- 45:50Speaker 1: value of some tertiary qualifications is going to be severely downgraded,
- 45:58Speaker 1: because you know, people are getting qualifications that they didn't earn,
- 46:04Speaker 1: and that's you know, as the technology gets better and
- 46:08Speaker 1: it's harder and harder to figure out who wrote or
- 46:12Speaker 1: didn't write what. You know. Yeah, it's a very slippery
- 46:18Speaker 1: slope that we're on. And I don't know that. You know,
- 46:21Speaker 1: there are pros and cons, but I reckon the cons
- 46:23Speaker 1: are as you know, as significant and numerous as the
- 46:27Speaker 1: as the pros.
- 46:29Speaker 2: It is a challenge for educators and also I guess
- 46:32Speaker 2: for employers. If someone's presenting a region may with documentation
- 46:39Speaker 2: to say that they've passed a degree or whatever, or
- 46:41Speaker 2: if someone standing above a table with a scalpel in.
- 46:44Speaker 1: There, yeah, think about that. Fuck that. Oh yeah, but
- 46:48Speaker 1: there's a lot of yeah you would. Yeah, Like a
- 46:51Speaker 1: few people have said, do I use chat Jo Patti,
- 46:54Speaker 1: And I really can't. There's a few things where I
- 46:56Speaker 1: could maybe go, here's my intro, could you rewrite it?
- 46:59Speaker 1: But because of my research is original, it has to be,
- 47:03Speaker 1: you know. But I think there are certain things. But
- 47:06Speaker 1: I think also, you know, somebody who's writing an application
- 47:09Speaker 1: for a job, you can write it and then throw
- 47:11Speaker 1: it into chat GPT and I'll churn out a slightly
- 47:14Speaker 1: more polished version. I think that's a great application, you know.
- 47:18Speaker 1: And and the sad thing is that some jobs like copywriting,
- 47:24Speaker 1: they're probably to an extent going to become redundant because
- 47:28Speaker 1: it chat GPT can do as good or better writing
- 47:33Speaker 1: than the average punter.
- 47:35Speaker 2: What about using if you ever used grammarly?
- 47:40Speaker 1: No, but I know I know what it is.
- 47:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so what it does. It's not just
- 47:44Speaker 2: a spell checker. It's more of a phraseology checker. So
- 47:47Speaker 2: if you write a sentence, it will say, well, this
- 47:49Speaker 2: is not the best grammar you know, why don't you
- 47:51Speaker 2: rewrite it a certain way? And I mean in a
- 47:55Speaker 2: lot of ways. Then does that then stop or cease
- 47:58Speaker 2: being your original work, because making mistakes is part of
- 48:03Speaker 2: the learning process.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, and no, I mean with something like grammar,
- 48:08Speaker 1: where it's just making something be more grammatically correct or
- 48:12Speaker 1: something perhaps flow a little better, but it's essentially your
- 48:16Speaker 1: words and ideas. I think that's a valuable tool. But
- 48:19Speaker 1: you know what, in twenty years, like who knows, who knows?
- 48:23Speaker 1: If people like I doubt we're going to be writing
- 48:27Speaker 1: on paper with pens in twenty years.
- 48:29Speaker 2: I doubt that they, Hey, I will be I use
- 48:32Speaker 2: a fountain pen.
- 48:33Speaker 1: I hope. So, but I don't think the majority, In fact,
- 48:36Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to be typing, because it's
- 48:38Speaker 1: going to be it's all going to be audio. What
- 48:41Speaker 1: do you call it? Where you just talk and it
- 48:43Speaker 1: types as you go dictation like those no you know
- 48:46Speaker 1: where you can talk into your phone and it just types.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Is that? What's Isn't there a more fancy name than
- 48:52Speaker 1: yeah whatever? That you know where? And that's becoming so
- 48:56Speaker 1: good where you think, why the fuck would I be
- 48:58Speaker 1: punching all these keys when I can talk and it
- 49:00Speaker 1: types for me.
- 49:01Speaker 2: I want thought to text, I don't even want to talk.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Well, you just took up with Elon Musk. I think
- 49:09Speaker 1: that's get yourself a neural link. We've spoken about that.
- 49:13Speaker 1: All right, let's do one more, Champion. Let's bring home
- 49:16Speaker 1: this fucking train wreck of an episode with a little
- 49:19Speaker 1: bit of gusto.
- 49:21Speaker 2: Oh really, I was going to give some people we're
- 49:23Speaker 2: talking about, you.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Know, whatever you want, whatever you want.
- 49:25Speaker 2: I was just thinking of some positive things about AI
- 49:29Speaker 2: and a feature that's built into Google Maps. Particularly in
- 49:34Speaker 2: the States, people are getting worried that those Google street
- 49:36Speaker 2: view photos are how criminals can case out your house
- 49:40Speaker 2: to see we've got cameras, or to see whether you're
- 49:43Speaker 2: living a nice suburb and they can look at your
- 49:45Speaker 2: backyard and all that sort of stuff. But you can
- 49:47Speaker 2: actually request now to have your house blurred in Google Maps.
- 49:52Speaker 2: There is one caveat Once it's blurred, it's blurred for good.
- 49:55Speaker 2: So what you do is you just basically go to
- 49:57Speaker 2: your property. You've got to prove that it's yours. You don't,
- 50:00Speaker 2: you know, I can't arbitrarily choose your place and suddenly
- 50:03Speaker 2: blur it out. But basically go to Wogle Maps and
- 50:07Speaker 2: you select the reporter problem. It's in the upper left
- 50:10Speaker 2: corner of the screen, and then you've got to answer
- 50:12Speaker 2: a whole lot of questions and submit the request, and
- 50:15Speaker 2: then what it will do is it will blur the
- 50:17Speaker 2: photo of your property. So if people are concerned about that,
- 50:20Speaker 2: So that's another really cool because you've probably noticed in
- 50:23Speaker 2: Google Maps too that all the number plates are blurred out.
- 50:26Speaker 2: You know that's not done by you know, some pers
- 50:28Speaker 2: sitting there using a magic eraser tool. That's done by
- 50:31Speaker 2: AI to do that, and also blurs out faces. You
- 50:34Speaker 2: don't normally get close up shots of people's faces in
- 50:38Speaker 2: that Google mapping software either.
- 50:39Speaker 1: Well maybe the guy who lives I'm not even going
- 50:42Speaker 1: to say where you live. But the guy who lives
- 50:44Speaker 1: in rural Victoria and leaves his doors unlocked when he
- 50:48Speaker 1: goes out, maybe he should rethink that. Yeah, maybe maybe
- 50:52Speaker 1: I don't know. Are there many? Are there many crooks
- 50:55Speaker 1: where you live? I wouldn't think they're too much tied
- 50:59Speaker 1: love and hugs and muny beans.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Aren't they know what happens is people. We've had some
- 51:02Speaker 2: instances of a few break ins recently. To be honest,
- 51:05Speaker 2: I probably shouldn't be telling people how to leave my
- 51:07Speaker 2: door open all the time.
- 51:09Speaker 1: No, no, we'll definitely die. We'll definitely start locking it.
- 51:15Speaker 2: No, I lock it when I look. I do lock
- 51:17Speaker 2: it if I'm going away for any length of time.
- 51:19Speaker 2: But if I'm just going down the street to the
- 51:20Speaker 2: post office in the door?
- 51:22Speaker 1: Oh wow, Patrick, how do people what is your home address?
- 51:28Speaker 1: By the way, And failing that, how can people follow
- 51:31Speaker 1: you online or connect with you online?
- 51:33Speaker 2: Did you go to websites now, dot com dot au?
- 51:36Speaker 2: You could kind of stalk me there. You can see
- 51:38Speaker 2: what I look like and then decide that you might
- 51:40Speaker 2: want to call me and have a chat. Wow wow, Well, actually,
- 51:44Speaker 2: you know, it is one of the things I really
- 51:46Speaker 2: love about what I do is working with smaller business people,
- 51:50Speaker 2: you know, because what.
- 51:53Speaker 1: About big business people like you know, people over six foot.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Yeah, yeahle raw dogging because that's what they do with
- 52:01Speaker 2: their males like you.
- 52:03Speaker 1: No, I told you Tif's more alpha male than me.
- 52:08Speaker 2: But yeah, go on. I'm just going to say, do
- 52:11Speaker 2: you find though, because I know you get a lot
- 52:13Speaker 2: of joy and TIF You're the same with your PT
- 52:15Speaker 2: stuff because it's one on one as opposed to doing
- 52:18Speaker 2: a presentation to a room of fifty or one hundred people.
- 52:21Speaker 2: There's something really not intimate but kind of uplifting about
- 52:27Speaker 2: being able to work with someone one to one. So
- 52:29Speaker 2: I think, yeah, anyway, but I know I enjoy that.
- 52:33Speaker 1: I enjoy that. This is a terrible segue, but it's
- 52:35Speaker 1: kind of in line with that. I just launched a
- 52:38Speaker 1: new mentorship, which I've never done, for fifteen people ten weeks.
- 52:44Speaker 1: And it's just like, because I do a lot of
- 52:46Speaker 1: stuff with big audiences, and I'm quite excited about working
- 52:49Speaker 1: with only fifteen people and you know, for me is
- 52:54Speaker 1: a small group and it's two and a half months,
- 52:56Speaker 1: so it's an extended period of time and I'm quite
- 52:59Speaker 1: interested to see how that's going to go. You know
- 53:02Speaker 1: because it gives everyone an opportunity every session to talk
- 53:06Speaker 1: and ask questions. You're not just one block of nine
- 53:10Speaker 1: hundred blocks on a range of zoom screens.
- 53:13Speaker 2: You know, so well, they need a five minute tai
- 53:16Speaker 2: chi kind of you know, workout session.
- 53:19Speaker 1: I reckon we should No, I really do think we
- 53:22Speaker 1: should do something. We should do a are you project?
- 53:27Speaker 1: Patrick collab.
- 53:31Speaker 2: On zoom sounds good. Yeah, you can count me on
- 53:34Speaker 2: on that.
- 53:35Speaker 1: Hm hm hmm. I wonder how that would have to
- 53:39Speaker 1: be live. I guess we could do it live with
- 53:42Speaker 1: whoever wants to do it live, record it. We probably
- 53:44Speaker 1: should talk about this off the show a bit. Fuck it,
- 53:47Speaker 1: let's have a staff meeting. Look at Tiff. What is
- 53:50Speaker 1: Tiff looking at? What are you looking at? Down there?
- 53:54Speaker 3: Got cat hair stuff under the bottom of itself.
- 53:57Speaker 1: She spent ninety percent of the phone looking at I'm
- 54:00Speaker 1: looking down What are you doing down there? That's got
- 54:02Speaker 1: your attention?
- 54:04Speaker 2: Oh god, oh wow, it's like the belly button fluff.
- 54:10Speaker 1: It's a terrible way to end a podcast. Patrick, just
- 54:14Speaker 1: tell people your web address again.
- 54:15Speaker 2: Place websites now dot com, dot au because no one
- 54:19Speaker 2: can spell genesis effects.
- 54:21Speaker 1: Yeah, this will be our last episode of this everyone,
- 54:23Speaker 1: so I hope you enjoyed them all. It's been great.
- 54:27Speaker 2: Thanks team, Thanks to the two people who kept listening.
- 54:31Speaker 1: Oh god, it's just descending, isn't it. It is what
- 54:36Speaker 1: we do. It's devolving, it's evolving. It's the opposite of AI. Yeah,
- 54:42Speaker 1: it's the antithesis of what is happening.
