00:08:14 ◼ ► Now do you want to describe it to the people or shall I put a link in the show notes of people can watch it [TS]
00:08:23 ◼ ► and the thing the thing about it is in this kind of ever increasing spiral to make your airline safety video. [TS]
00:08:34 ◼ ► and different to the others which is just getting out of control among airlines what they've done is decide to talk you [TS]
00:08:41 ◼ ► through the safety of the plane but not use applying know for example that show you how to do up your sake bell [TS]
00:08:48 ◼ ► and it's like a person in a taxicab doing the same and then there's another woman talking about the exits [TS]

00:10:06 ◼ ► To you about the plane now granted almost everybody who's flying on a plane with any kind of regularity already knows [TS]
00:10:15 ◼ ► and so if I'm in charge of the airlines I would think OK we're legally required to tell some people this stuff what [TS]
00:10:24 ◼ ► seems to me the obvious purpose of the safety video would be tell the things you are legally required to tell them [TS]
00:10:40 ◼ ► but it seems like airlines decide to go with the opposite choice which is let's try to make it fun [TS]
00:10:49 ◼ ► and I think this is just this is just the wrong wrong way to do it because Can anybody make a video that is fun to [TS]
00:11:03 ◼ ► Nobody right nobody can do that you just you strip all of the humor out of it if there is any joke in it at all. [TS]
00:11:23 ◼ ► It explains it explains things I already know in a way that somehow manages to make them confusing because they're [TS]
00:11:29 ◼ ► showing you all different stuff every time and the one the really gets me. Which for anybody who has a watch the video. [TS]
00:11:36 ◼ ► Pay particular attention to this next time you see it because they want to show different people all over the world [TS]
00:11:45 ◼ ► Every little scene change requires a five second stablish ing shot him so there's a woman in Italy [TS]
00:11:53 ◼ ► and they can just cut to the woman in Italy they have to show her walking down the street for a moment [TS]
00:12:00 ◼ ► and then she turns around the corner to then explain to you the thing is like no just cut to the. [TS]
00:12:13 ◼ ► when you have to have these establishing shots it just goes it feels like it goes on forever [TS]
00:12:27 ◼ ► Oh by the way put the put the air masks on when they come down put your seat back up [TS]
00:12:32 ◼ ► when we're taking off you know the end there's not that much to actually say but they take so long. [TS]
00:12:39 ◼ ► OK I want final thing to complain about but you go ahead you try to convince me otherwise. [TS]
00:12:43 ◼ ► OK I'm going to try to convey well where I've seen a smash my head against a brick wall can change your mind for let me [TS]
00:12:49 ◼ ► be devil's advocate Anyway first of all your bit of an edge case and how often you fly [TS]
00:12:54 ◼ ► and this particular how often you've recently Florida so you were over exposed to this video so we have to take that [TS]
00:13:06 ◼ ► and I probably do bye the stage because airline safety videos have been around for a long time they have access to [TS]
00:13:11 ◼ ► research and information and market research which shows that airline safety video is a so sign me [TS]
00:13:22 ◼ ► and then say some accident happens where several people get injured in an accident [TS]
00:13:28 ◼ ► and they file a lawsuit which says well wait we didn't do what was in the video because we didn't pay attention to the [TS]
00:13:34 ◼ ► video and you know if we don't pay attention to the videos because you've been researching it for years [TS]
00:13:38 ◼ ► and you know we don't pay attention is it possible the airlines have had it brought to their attention by a lawyer. [TS]
00:13:50 ◼ ► and make people look at them because they're being ignored too often and whether doing it well [TS]
00:13:55 ◼ ► or not that's another argument and whether this is tasteful a stupid owed after a well executed is another to bite [TS]
00:14:01 ◼ ► but are they doing these outside the box things not because they're trying to be wacky with I've been conned by some [TS]
00:14:13 ◼ ► and different so people start looking at them again I mean if you're starting from the A man generic presumption that [TS]
00:14:18 ◼ ► they have research that shows people don't pay attention I mean I guess it's possible [TS]
00:14:23 ◼ ► but you know what I have research that shows nobody pays attention to these videos anyway [TS]
00:14:27 ◼ ► and it's called looking around on the airplane and everybody is ignoring the safety video even these new ones. [TS]
00:14:36 ◼ ► and I post so I don't think it's a stretch to imagine someone at some point has commission something into people's [TS]
00:14:42 ◼ ► attention to safety video as it sounds like the sort of thing that would definitely be researched [TS]
00:14:46 ◼ ► but even if it hasn't been researched if someone could make the case that these things are being ignored than that then [TS]
00:15:02 ◼ ► and it is the most important part which is where are the exits on this particular plane [TS]
00:15:10 ◼ ► and if you watch any of these videos you see almost all of them do some kind of cut away so they can drop in a separate [TS]
00:15:16 ◼ ► segment about where the exits on the plane and this is what drives me crazy about. [TS]
00:15:24 ◼ ► and was accurate I was going to call up as OK here's the one thing that's different that you need to pay attention to [TS]
00:15:29 ◼ ► and as the moment that this woman walks into a dojo in Japan and she says oh I'm going to tell you about the exits [TS]
00:15:40 ◼ ► and then they do a little joke where she drops the the paper off camera for a couple of seconds pretends like she keeps [TS]
00:15:49 ◼ ► and there's amazing origami plane that obviously nobody could do in that amount of time [TS]
00:15:54 ◼ ► but it's the only part of the whole video where there's just like seconds of silence and nothing is happening [TS]
00:16:00 ◼ ► and it is the biggest longest boring is run up to nothing is occurring before they then decide to have her segue into [TS]
00:16:08 ◼ ► Let me tell you where this is the seats are on this airplane for us like it's just crazy making to me that the the [TS]
00:16:14 ◼ ► worst slow is part of the video comes right before the part when you're most supposed to be paying attention. [TS]
00:16:23 ◼ ► I great to terrible video of I mean I probably going to different airlines Jake so I don't have the commitment to [TS]
00:16:43 ◼ ► Stand by on the way over and I'm glad I didn't listen to you because I did get that first class upgrade [TS]
00:16:50 ◼ ► Yeah but you have leaps we first class grave with totally worth of standby wait without a doubt it. [TS]
00:17:01 ◼ ► Firth clarity told her that if if if if line first class is worth two weeks of waiting then good on you you might have [TS]
00:17:10 ◼ ► when we talked last time I felt like you almost talk me out of it like oh maybe that may be pretty is right maybe I [TS]
00:17:17 ◼ ► and then as soon as I got in that seat at that nope not really thinking this is amazing. [TS]
00:17:24 ◼ ► but before we switch topics I cannot let what for me is the amazing cherry on top of this pile of poop that is the [TS]
00:17:36 ◼ ► when there's a family going up going up one of those little week where even call them there on the mountain. [TS]
00:17:45 ◼ ► but it's like in a cabinet sizing closed gates not there's an enclosed ski lift that they're going up and it again. [TS]
00:17:53 ◼ ► Stablish ing shot so you know where they are it takes several seconds there's this family is going up in a little ski [TS]
00:17:59 ◼ ► and then going down on the opposite side there are two people that are having a fight on top of the ski lift that's [TS]
00:18:04 ◼ ► going down which I presume is some kind of James Bond reference but I'm not one hundred percent sure [TS]
00:18:10 ◼ ► but anyway it's a safety video there's a fight that's happening in the middle one guy gets knocked off the top of the [TS]
00:18:23 ◼ ► From from the top of this this lift too many cooks spoiling the broth of this video clearly has to the trying to cram [TS]
00:18:30 ◼ ► so many ideas into they needed in that Wilhelm scream to me is just the the perfect cherry for this is my boy there is [TS]
00:18:40 ◼ ► or anything more than a that stupid Wilhelm scream that is uses a sound effect in thousands [TS]
00:18:53 ◼ ► and luck cannot just give a pre warning here because I know everyone is now going to send us you cheap videos of every [TS]
00:18:59 ◼ ► safety video there is because it's quite common for people to make safety videos that funny a spice to be funny [TS]
00:19:09 ◼ ► and Twitter where someone says oh yes this is the most hilarious safety video of a saint of watched many of them I [TS]
00:19:15 ◼ ► can't think of ones that I actually thought was funny. Oh yeah I completely agree. [TS]
00:19:20 ◼ ► Even ones that were like couldn't be more aimed at me like New Zealand has a whole bunch of Lord Of The Rings deems [TS]
00:19:36 ◼ ► If you have to watch it twice is the same agony you know no matter what it is I've never seen it done well [TS]
00:19:43 ◼ ► and trying to watch a few other airline safety videos to see what one of the comparisons [TS]
00:19:58 ◼ ► and obviously it's mind numbingly boring sustain a sign many times but I find that one. Acceptable. [TS]
00:20:05 ◼ ► A giant I don't get angry at that one kind of I think I think I made a good choice [TS]

00:40:06 ◼ ► Britain that yes it is missing the red diagonals and I think it is looks very nice. [TS]
00:40:12 ◼ ► I think it's quite bold I do love the modern Union Jack but I also I'm quite a fan of this variant and to nerd out [TS]
00:40:20 ◼ ► when or whenever I have an excuse to use it in one of my videos the from talking about the U.K. [TS]
00:40:24 ◼ ► In that timeframe I will almost always go with this because it is still recognizable as the U.K. Flag. [TS]
00:40:29 ◼ ► Most people won't notice is missing the diagonals but it is technically more correct to use [TS]
00:40:34 ◼ ► and I like it better so there we go. Geno I like about talking to you Greg. Well I don't feel like such a nerd. [TS]
00:40:48 ◼ ► but the flag I feel like we need to talk about is the New Zealand flag we've ignored it for too long there's been a lot [TS]
00:40:56 ◼ ► of movement in the world of the New Zealand flag there's been a lot going on the hello internet listenership has been [TS]
00:41:08 ◼ ► and OK I think it's time to clean one of the really I may be overstating the case that we did get a lot of mysteries [TS]
00:41:15 ◼ ► about yes so we now have we as in the world now has the short list for potential alternatives to the New Zealand flag [TS]
00:41:31 ◼ ► New Zealand is considering changing its flag there's a short list of forty flags that they're going to put to I think a [TS]
00:41:42 ◼ ► and then that flag whatever the winner of that is going to go against the current Zealand flag headed a head head to [TS]
00:41:51 ◼ ► Yes it is a Super Bowl of flags I mean there that have you opened up your web browser to take a look at it I am [TS]
00:42:00 ◼ ► scrolling through them as we speak because you have never looked at this before this is you're looking at this with [TS]
00:42:17 ◼ ► But I have not looked at much data in the saying of the sentence I've probably spent more time looking at the flags [TS]
00:42:23 ◼ ► and I have previously so this is my first proper look what do you think What are you thinking where you first thought [TS]
00:42:29 ◼ ► looking well my own overarching comment looking at the mall as a group is. Well done. [TS]
00:42:36 ◼ ► Like there with the unlock the mono you think they're appropriate on are the New Zealand there are very few flags he [TS]
00:42:45 ◼ ► and think that's bit of a stink a lot most of them I think a quote good solid flags eyecatching nice if you do know [TS]
00:42:54 ◼ ► something of New Zealand you can usually find something in them that says New Zealand to my overall impression is [TS]
00:43:08 ◼ ► but will come to that second What's your overall impression of this is collection. [TS]
00:43:12 ◼ ► Yeah I have to say well design flags so the commonality if you're not looking at this page is these forty flags many of [TS]
00:43:22 ◼ ► them are incorporating this same design elements within them so there is of course the fern made famous by the All [TS]
00:43:33 ◼ ► Blacks which is used on many of these flags there's also a symbol which I was unfamiliar which I am not quite sure how [TS]
00:43:39 ◼ ► to pronounce it but I think you want to call it the core RW right after that sound right to you. [TS]
00:43:51 ◼ ► and in the post to be a it's another symbolic representation of a fern if you think of the way a fern leaf unrolls it [TS]
00:44:00 ◼ ► unrolls in this particular spiral pattern and so this this Kuru symbol is like an abstract notion of a fern [TS]
00:44:08 ◼ ► and also really brings up a lot of thoughts of waves doesn't it looks very wise like a lot [TS]
00:44:13 ◼ ► and obviously New Zealanders are see loving people well this is that this is one of the reasons why I was unaware of [TS]
00:44:21 ◼ ► and in many of the flag designs the way they have done the colors of the spirals is in vocative of the ocean [TS]
00:44:28 ◼ ► and also of a fern at the same time so I have to say. If there is any alternate symbol that is going to be used. [TS]
00:44:43 ◼ ► and I think there are a bunch of of good designs that are incorporating it yeah I'm not a maybe it's just me many of [TS]
00:44:59 ◼ ► Usually usually the stars are arranged Southern Cross but yeah they're real common thing. [TS]
00:45:03 ◼ ► Yes most of them have the Southern Cross at that I should have clarified with that some of them have additional [TS]
00:45:11 ◼ ► but I'm not a big fan of the Southern Cross I think stars are overused in flags particularly on the American flag [TS]
00:45:23 ◼ ► or I was in charge of a flag redesign for a country I would lay down a no stars rule you know what the world doesn't [TS]
00:45:29 ◼ ► need it doesn't need flags with more stars I would make an exception for the Southern Cross the right because I think [TS]
00:45:42 ◼ ► but the race in the Southern Cross is a bit different is it actually uses the constellation a constellation [TS]
00:45:48 ◼ ► and it's using a constellation that gives you a sense of place you know at the southern hemisphere so it gives you a [TS]
00:45:54 ◼ ► bit. It's more evocative of the place than just a ranging fifty stars to represent fifty different things. [TS]
00:46:00 ◼ ► Oh very you're entitled to your opinion I think the Southern Cross you maybe is a little bit of an exception here [TS]
00:46:19 ◼ ► I go all of these other people who use all of these stars in a dumb way of hey I have a flag Oh what am I going to do a [TS]
00:46:25 ◼ ► quick Blue put a star on it alright boom we're done right Somalia it's all set against the Jews ruin the stars for [TS]
00:46:33 ◼ ► This is the best way to do it but I would still I was the put no stars for my New Zealand flag the colors red [TS]
00:46:43 ◼ ► but also obviously a real common theme through a lot of the flax which is unusual in flags is a complex [TS]
00:46:52 ◼ ► OK there is one flag here which is basically the All Blacks flag the silver fern on the black background it's the one [TS]
00:47:06 ◼ ► and it's got five Kyle Lockwood written next to it if you happen to be looking at the page. [TS]
00:47:10 ◼ ► Yes A put links in the show notes as well the thing that irritates me lately is it's not exactly the same as the All [TS]
00:47:19 ◼ ► It's it's a much rounder fern where as something I like about the All Blacks lag is that that fern is more aggressive [TS]
00:47:26 ◼ ► looking is sharper edges some my my feeling is if you're going to go with that look you should make it just the same. [TS]
00:47:35 ◼ ► So of these flags I actually don't like the one that we originally discussed or you have to do the white fur [TS]
00:47:43 ◼ ► and on the black background because it's it's too similar but it's not exactly the same [TS]
00:47:53 ◼ ► but we're not going to do exactly that so I would change pretty quickly it would are it would only take a year OTOH [TS]
00:48:01 ◼ ► You know he got used to the change I meant only if the All Blacks then adopted this as their flag as well you have to [TS]
00:48:06 ◼ ► have the ferns match Well I don't think it's going to cause you a lot of disk disk concern great help [TS]
00:48:15 ◼ ► but even still I know their flag well enough that looking at this one I could look at it [TS]
00:48:28 ◼ ► but there are enough good choices here that I would actually have a hard time picking out which one is my top favorites. [TS]
00:48:36 ◼ ► Yeah I think New Zealand has a bunch of good choices here I'm not sure it's my favorite but I do I do like the black [TS]
00:48:42 ◼ ► and white cord to design on one of the flags I think that's very nice. The ones called Corey BLACK Yeah. [TS]
00:48:49 ◼ ► Kaoru just an imprint the seas with the black you know I like that but there there's an alternate an alternate color [TS]
00:48:56 ◼ ► and slightly different ratio it looks like which is on here it's called Pico Pico which is the core with almost a two [TS]
00:49:11 ◼ ► Yeah I don't know if they are the best for New Zealand but I like the way it looks [TS]
00:49:14 ◼ ► and I'm trying to look at the ones without stars that I have to admit I do kind of like this grey one with that is the [TS]
00:49:24 ◼ ► and the stars even though I said before no stars of all of them I think that one actually does look look the bath so [TS]
00:49:35 ◼ ► OK Do you have anyone that calls out to you I think they have to go with the silver fair [TS]
00:49:44 ◼ ► and I was in think the phone is a little bit too big on the flag and could do with being a bit smaller. [TS]
00:49:49 ◼ ► Agreed it takes really a bit too much of the flag but I think if they go with something else. [TS]
00:49:55 ◼ ► They're overthinking it just do what you know is right and I think that's the right thing today and you know. [TS]
00:50:01 ◼ ► Those other points we raced I think are a minor I think that's the right decision I think using the the color of this [TS]
00:50:07 ◼ ► kind of wave curved thing with the and mistake I think it's a bit I do like out looks but I think it's a bit new way [TS]
00:50:18 ◼ ► and I think it will go out of fashion it was something that's designed by like you know a water company or something [TS]
00:50:30 ◼ ► and I mean that said the fair enough if this is a very unconventional flag to you but that's a that's an exception [TS]
00:50:35 ◼ ► but I pretty much agree with what you said I do think the Southern Cross horizon one although that looks like a C.D.P. [TS]
00:50:42 ◼ ► Gray sort of going away is a nice looking flag I think quite a few and I think the Seven Stars one is nice looking. [TS]
00:50:49 ◼ ► I still think what I thought before they should go with the Sylvan I mean disagree with you on that seven stars one I [TS]
00:50:58 ◼ ► CO little honorable mention here that I just want to point out not a fly that I would pick for New Zealand [TS]
00:51:03 ◼ ► but I love because we were just talking about the Union Jack one of the flags is called Black Jack [TS]
00:51:18 ◼ ► and I can only describe it as almost Lord Of The Rings of finding the Union Jack they have these little Caruso pyros at [TS]
00:51:24 ◼ ► the end of several of the lines I love that little modification of the Union Jack I would never pick that as the New [TS]
00:51:31 ◼ ► Zealand flag I think that is an interesting little design element that somebody came up with that I think looks quite [TS]
00:51:36 ◼ ► good it's a coat thing but I think it shouldn't be on the list and oh yeah I was I would like you. [TS]
00:51:40 ◼ ► Yeah I wouldn't put it on there either if I were if I had been on the committee I would have said no [TS]

01:12:09 ◼ ► is going to inform the search for the main made wreckage I think we can pretty safely a share now that there is [TS]
01:12:17 ◼ ► but I thought I thought that was worthy of note because it was a rather tartly start of the podcast that this this [TS]
01:12:22 ◼ ► tragedy happened so it sort of I have to admit I would never of thought after all this time I still wouldn't founder [TS]
01:12:32 ◼ ► shows how naive I am I was sure that found it within a few weeks but here we are over a year later [TS]
01:12:40 ◼ ► OK yeah the think that it got me thinking about I was ocean currents because it got me thinking about things I was [TS]

01:13:15 ◼ ► cannot stop you just spontaneously generate corners at this point I have bit of a corner generating machine [TS]
01:13:27 ◼ ► and this to be a corner you could play to I would love a quarter where we just talk about those things that abscess he [TS]
01:13:43 ◼ ► and messages in bottles would definitely qualify for whatever that corner would be code things that credit was obsessed [TS]
01:13:54 ◼ ► but anyway the the great coincidence was just as I was preparing to tell you about a reunion so I was just looking up [TS]

01:14:45 ◼ ► and of OK Nice OK Do you know that the Shoreham air show crash I do not know nothing of this you really don't know [TS]

01:16:08 ◼ ► and the pilot was doing a loop a loop de loop at the ashes and something went wrong with our what went wrong [TS]
01:16:19 ◼ ► Sort of along like I broke with all these cars are not like in the direction of the causes website was almost like he's [TS]
01:16:27 ◼ ► went along the road and just collected all these cars in this huge Fabo says this is a con Eric type landing. [TS]
01:16:45 ◼ ► Amazingly not the pilot who is not in good shape but for all these people in cars as unbelievable a bat [TS]
01:16:57 ◼ ► but I was just wondering your thoughts on air shows would you go to an issue I went to air shows as a kid he did really. [TS]
01:17:06 ◼ ► Yeah I'm not sure I ever chose to go to an air show but I know that there were there were times [TS]
01:17:15 ◼ ► That seems likely anyway obviously her but just about the safety official has been coming up in the news [TS]
01:17:25 ◼ ► and that well there is use older planes at the air certainly this is the other thing as well using these outlines [TS]
01:17:32 ◼ ► They've banned out planes from doing they look to Loopy the hardcore hardcore things [TS]
01:17:39 ◼ ► and I've also granted these Hawker hunters for the time being they're all planes are not a safe they can't do the stuff [TS]
01:17:45 ◼ ► you should ban old stuff is not safe I think they should do that with cars I think there should be a limit to how old a [TS]
01:17:51 ◼ ► car can be when still out on the road the U.K. Is really good for that they don't say the U.K. [TS]
01:17:56 ◼ ► Is good for keeping out of the road because they have this annual MIT that you cast a guy three so if you're if you've [TS]
01:18:04 ◼ ► gotten out Beta if it doesn't pass this test a very statements including pollution admissions [TS]
01:18:12 ◼ ► IOW I'm always struck when I go back to a strategy or by how much outer and paid up because same. [TS]
01:18:23 ◼ ► and that's because the MIT keeping keeping old one out bang us off the road I did not realize that. Well done U.K. [TS]
01:18:32 ◼ ► Moten U.K. Anyway really terrible sure but the other thing that I have found really interesting about this. [TS]
01:18:40 ◼ ► Shoreham tragedy is the way different media have handled the footage this is this was very well filmed this is fresh [TS]
01:18:53 ◼ ► With very graphic vantage points this is so I always IMO And you're obviously the news media does takes it was footage [TS]
01:19:00 ◼ ► and start sharing it then other I think they just take it and then ask questions later [TS]
01:19:06 ◼ ► but the other thing I find really interesting is how the cuts they might hurt what they decide is OK to show [TS]
01:19:13 ◼ ► and not show I mean you have a particular example here of is there any channels that are that are just all Gore all the [TS]
01:19:29 ◼ ► The thing I thought is doing is they were not like when a plane crashes and obviously this fire [TS]
01:19:38 ◼ ► and then you just go smoke this is they always cut the fire like they show the plane heading towards the ground [TS]
01:19:47 ◼ ► and then they show you a few seconds later all the smoke billowing up that I want to show the moment of the fire which [TS]
01:19:53 ◼ ► I can understand you know why because maybe that's like the moment as I mentioned before one of the very few places I [TS]
01:20:04 ◼ ► and I think of that as the what's on fire channel because I say I swear if anything anywhere on the whole face of the [TS]
01:20:17 ◼ ► and so every time I walk by that screen I swear to god it's like oh look at the thing that's on fire halfway across the [TS]
01:20:22 ◼ ► Oh the thing caught on fire nearby is all what a great story we can get our own footage there that So [TS]
01:20:27 ◼ ► when you say that there's someone who's hesitant to show the fire this is not my experience of what the silent news [TS]
01:20:36 ◼ ► and people running all over the world it's more like it it's the moment is the moment people die as well as not there [TS]
01:20:50 ◼ ► and it might actually be a really good decision I'm not I'm not saying that some steak [TS]
01:20:54 ◼ ► or I'm against it I just find that. I would love to hear the justification for like it does seem interesting. [TS]
01:21:10 ◼ ► If you're you know if you're someone you really care about loss that loss in that moment have you really made things [TS]
01:21:20 ◼ ► Maybe it's a really good thing to do you know I don't think their prime concern is oh boy I hope we don't upset people [TS]
01:21:35 ◼ ► Well because while they showing the footage it all I give if it's just to convey the information that an aircraft has [TS]
01:21:41 ◼ ► crashed you can have a news person say that but they show the crash because it's salacious. [TS]
01:21:46 ◼ ► Yeah but they wear this false cloak of sensitivity that is that's exactly my point [TS]
01:21:51 ◼ ► and they're wearing their wearing the shortest skirt to that they can they can wear while still claiming a look how do [TS]
01:21:55 ◼ ► you think we're being but it's not that's not the case at all so it can I guess that's what I was asking [TS]
01:22:01 ◼ ► and you've kind of your thoughts of my question about what you think about which I find really interesting because [TS]
01:22:07 ◼ ► that's what I'm saying is that sensitive is sensitive to cut away for a second daughter No I think it yeah it just give [TS]
01:22:19 ◼ ► but they're not they know that they're not that's my point that's my take on it do you think mainstream news media [TS]
01:22:25 ◼ ► should share this type of footage I know you haven't sameness but it's basically supply [TS]
01:22:35 ◼ ► and people did die you know I mean this just this just rehashes the hall not the whole news argument without going down [TS]
01:22:46 ◼ ► when you watching if news media is going to exist should they should they share the stuff you know I don't know I mean [TS]
01:22:55 ◼ ► Again I just to me the news is largely focuses on events that happened to catch people's attention [TS]
01:23:02 ◼ ► but that is of no no value to almost every single person who's watching it that's my fundamental point on this is it's [TS]
01:23:15 ◼ ► and it's whole purpose is to gain people's attention so like gas to soothe the purpose it shows accidents all the time [TS]
01:23:22 ◼ ► you know that our individual events from which most of the viewers watching can learn nothing so yeah of course they're [TS]
01:23:29 ◼ ► going to show that stuff I mean it's a different question of you know if I was if I was king Gray would I ban it like [TS]
01:23:34 ◼ ► that's a that's a different question that then gets into censorship issue than I'm usually not on the side of centers [TS]
01:23:43 ◼ ► but the thing that always bothers me about it is is talking about it as though it's conveying useful important [TS]
01:23:54 ◼ ► but they don't to me fall under the category of useful important information to almost every single person in a fair [TS]
01:24:10 ◼ ► Saying this is this is why this is why I don't like playing cries corner as the whole thing that makes me so deeply [TS]
01:24:17 ◼ ► uncomfortable every time you do at us clean issue I'm not sick I'm not squeamish I am genuinely concerned about people [TS]
01:24:25 ◼ ► who are listening like it's it's a it's an intrinsically upsetting topic and there is no way around that [TS]

01:26:25 ◼ ► Now I spend most of my actually really really I was spent all of my adult life in the U.K. [TS]
01:26:31 ◼ ► Where there still is tipping but it is much much less than America and I forget how much tipping there is in America [TS]
01:26:43 ◼ ► and big US tipping situations you can wander into so this is a thing on my mind while I was there for a long period of [TS]
01:26:53 ◼ ► when you're in a situation where you're traveling you're using services you know you're at restaurants [TS]
01:26:58 ◼ ► or you're at hotels or other places and it just it just comes up so often in America [TS]
01:27:16 ◼ ► and it is it is not that it's not the money right it's not like I'm cheap am thinking I don't want to don't want to tip [TS]
01:27:26 ◼ ► Yeah just the large number of people that I don't know the answer to am I supposed to tip you. [TS]
01:27:36 ◼ ► Moment or is this a couple of bucks moment or is this like five dollars kind of moment I find it just exhausting [TS]
01:27:48 ◼ ► So for example if you go into a hotel I will go out of my way to never speak to the concierge because I feel like if I [TS]
01:27:57 ◼ ► speak to you at all do I have to hand you money now do I have to hand you money at the end of my trip [TS]
01:28:03 ◼ ► or is there a clock in in your head of a we've spoken to each other for sixty seconds [TS]
01:28:08 ◼ ► and now I need to hand you five dollars I would just whatever whatever services the country years can provide I would [TS]
01:28:15 ◼ ► not I would choose not to partake in any of them even if I would benefit from them because of the ambiguity of the [TS]
01:28:28 ◼ ► and it is very it is a very frustrating situation for me I'm probably more comfortable with social interactions [TS]
01:28:35 ◼ ► and you are yet has pretty fair to say yeah but I am one hundred percent in agreement with you [TS]
01:28:42 ◼ ► and I think it partly it's because I didn't grow up with a culture of tipping as well so IMO So starting further behind [TS]
01:28:47 ◼ ► because there's not much of a tipping culture in strata that I also find it really or quit and difficult [TS]
01:28:55 ◼ ► and try to avoid or you know I'm a big one for no no no I'll carry these eighteen bags up to my room myself. [TS]
01:29:02 ◼ ► and have taken bags from the bellman because like you know what I don't want to go up in the elevator with you [TS]
01:29:09 ◼ ► and we're just standing here and I just know that you're here because you're waiting for two dollars from me [TS]
01:29:15 ◼ ► or is two dollars Even the appropriate amount I don't even know I'm like either I'm not I don't think I'm a cheap [TS]
01:29:23 ◼ ► and of course I do to because I had to stand that the economy has evolved in such a way that this is necessary [TS]
01:29:29 ◼ ► and I don't want to do over people who work in service and I'm sure you'll say no so I do it's not cheap ness and I [TS]
01:29:36 ◼ ► and I respect that typical as to happen so I'm not saying you know I know to tipping [TS]
01:29:40 ◼ ► but I do think it's very unfortunate that things did a vote this way because it does create a lot of difficulties and. [TS]
01:29:53 ◼ ► and it's the same here feel like it is the same theory why not overcompensate Why not just. [TS]
01:30:00 ◼ ► Hand-out five bucks to everyone over time because then it's it's not going to pay you know going to I guess I'm saying [TS]
01:30:08 ◼ ► is there on the side of generosity and just strike chips around all the time to everyone why don't you do that or [TS]
01:30:15 ◼ ► or do you think you look like they have a douche if you do that as well if you had someone five bucks [TS]
01:30:21 ◼ ► Yeah this is exactly the problem is you have this narrow margin in which it is correct and under [TS]
01:30:29 ◼ ► or over both of those are wrong and both of those are awkward and I mean with the overtipping I mean [TS]
01:30:36 ◼ ► when I was about to say is I would gladly quadruple the money that I spend on tips annually if I could be guaranteed to [TS]
01:30:45 ◼ ► remove all ambiguity from every tipping situation in the future it is not a money issue at all because I mean if you [TS]
01:30:54 ◼ ► actually think about how much money do you ever spend on tips in the year it's not a significant amount of money you [TS]
01:31:03 ◼ ► and awkward to over tipped just as much as under tipping and this is actually a thing that I run into in the U.K. [TS]
01:31:10 ◼ ► In the reverse because since I grew up in America I do have some expectations of times when you're going to tip. [TS]
01:31:19 ◼ ► when I tip someone who is not expecting it because then it feel like it's almost like degrading it's like oh we were [TS]
01:31:30 ◼ ► and you looked at me like suddenly I'm thinking I'm a man on a horse with a fancy top hat [TS]
01:31:35 ◼ ► and I'm throwing coins on the ground for you to pick up your street urchin Oh we were normal people just engage in [TS]
01:31:41 ◼ ► regular commerce before but now I have introduced this inequality that wasn't there before. [TS]
01:31:48 ◼ ► That's why it's absolutely it's absolutely just terrible and awkward and and it's very hard to do right. Consistently S. [TS]
01:31:56 ◼ ► and It is a nightmare is a nightmare. There are a fee. Places that handle it well. [TS]
01:32:07 ◼ ► and then in the end you put a big wad of money into a box that old stuff share I quite like that I quite like going [TS]
01:32:17 ◼ ► and cleaning the room doing all the names just you know no one's go any money on them. [TS]
01:32:26 ◼ ► and that gets distributed amongst all the Paypal that I was thing that's a good solution [TS]
01:32:35 ◼ ► when I've gone to the Himalayas a couple of times you know you're not tipping the porters and the Sherpas [TS]
01:32:41 ◼ ► and then at the end you just give them one lot of money as one make a tip for the whole trip [TS]
01:32:46 ◼ ► and you can give gotten son was a good amount of money per day isn't Again that makes things so much easier. [TS]
01:32:52 ◼ ► Yeah that makes things that make things way better but I think it's the decision fatigue of it as well [TS]
01:32:58 ◼ ► and yeah one place that I'm aware that I use precisely because there is no tipping is tuber so I semi frequently used [TS]
01:33:10 ◼ ► and every time I use it I am blissfully aware of the fact that this ride does not end with me then having to decide on [TS]
01:33:27 ◼ ► and I know for a fact that I would because there's a competing service called Halo which used to be in the U.K. [TS]
01:33:36 ◼ ► and they did have a thing that popped up at the end of every ride where you had to make a decision about how much did [TS]
01:33:41 ◼ ► you want to tip the person or the drivers expected tips and I just hated that like I would way less use that service [TS]
01:33:50 ◼ ► and I realize I don't have to use the tips this is great I could just take this burden off your mind [TS]
01:34:00 ◼ ► Says I don't have to make this additional decision is a crazy right. Grabs a crazy person. Of saying to you know it. [TS]
01:34:09 ◼ ► American ship or and there was a driver who picks up and drives forty five minutes up to the mountains to the resort [TS]
01:34:16 ◼ ► and I swear I think ninety percent of my cognitive power during that entire drive was spent thinking about the tip. [TS]
01:34:25 ◼ ► Situation how do I pick this person because I'm playing in this is he part of this stuff with this much is outing what [TS]
01:34:31 ◼ ► currency do I use. Where's my wallet. As US A swear so I thought about for the trip. [TS]
01:34:39 ◼ ► Restaurants are this special legal exception because well I think practically criminally is that they don't have to pay [TS]
01:34:47 ◼ ► their staff minimum wage because they fall under this category of tipped employees are like OK this is crazy [TS]
01:34:56 ◼ ► So if there's any place in America which you always tip and you just don't even think about it it is restaurants [TS]
01:35:04 ◼ ► and my feeling with the tips in restaurants is because of the legal situation this is non optional. [TS]
01:35:15 ◼ ► or waitress on a tip in a restaurant in America is a huge dick move because of the way they are actually paid. [TS]
01:35:31 ◼ ► and you're at this restaurant it's just such an unpleasant way to end it with this little moment of a have to evaluate [TS]
01:35:37 ◼ ► this other human being. Now on a very numerical scale that is directly with money and know how much they like this. [TS]
01:35:48 ◼ ► when you're in a big group of people like you eat together you have to decide about the tip because tips by definition [TS]
01:35:54 ◼ ► come at the end of services they always put a little sour note on every interaction no matter how good it is has a come [TS]
01:36:05 ◼ ► when it comes to that kind of restaurants narrative I mean I know everyone has a different percentage was looking up [TS]
01:36:12 ◼ ► when I went to America this time around I was really aware that the standard Tippit vice for restaurant that I was [TS]
01:36:23 ◼ ► and I thought way by members a kid like I thought it was in the fifteen percent range [TS]
01:36:30 ◼ ► and this tip inflation thing is definitely the case that the average tips in the one nine hundred fifty S. [TS]
01:36:42 ◼ ► and so then it's like Oh great so now I have an additional thing to worry about with tips which is that if I'm not [TS]
01:36:47 ◼ ► keeping up with the tipping news I will just eventually become a cheapskate in comparison to everybody else because [TS]
01:36:55 ◼ ► we're having an arms race in tips the research on this seems to suggest that there's two reasons why tip inflation [TS]
01:37:01 ◼ ► occurs one of which is that in group settings there are individuals who want to be extravagant with tips [TS]
01:37:08 ◼ ► and this ends up causing everybody else to start calibrating what an average tip is so most people want to pay the [TS]
01:37:15 ◼ ► but if you're going out with groups a couple of extravagant people start to bend your notion of what an average tip is [TS]
01:37:32 ◼ ► Wait staff circulating through the population they to bring up the average of what a tip is so even then it's like oh [TS]
01:37:41 ◼ ► OK maybe again my mind I thought it was fifteen percent but then I arrived in America [TS]
01:37:45 ◼ ► and discovered no like that's no longer the standard tip now it's at least twenty percent of the oh OK this is an [TS]
01:37:53 ◼ ► when I was there I was trying to look up like under what circumstances should I to people [TS]
01:38:03 ◼ ► and the one that seems to be the most controversial is the the cleaning staff at a hotel do you leave a tip for the [TS]
01:38:10 ◼ ► cleaning staff at the hotel which to me was an amazing thing because I had never heard of this what do you mean is [TS]
01:38:16 ◼ ► opposed to leave a tip for the cleaning staff aren't I paying for a hotel room and presumably the staff to clean it. [TS]
01:38:23 ◼ ► They are whole different category of employees why do I tip just the cleaning staff why don't I tipped the other people [TS]
01:38:34 ◼ ► but it seems like a very standard It almost seems a bit like has a greeting card industry sort of creates these days [TS]
01:38:40 ◼ ► and events to Soca it's always different work of creating sort of new new tip generous that you didn't even know [TS]
01:38:47 ◼ ► existed before now so sad like like there was lots suddenly Father's Day and Mother's Day [TS]
01:38:52 ◼ ► and all these days of Pia sooner than later as oh this tipping the toilet clean it is a new thing [TS]
01:38:58 ◼ ► and tipping the person who replaces the toothpaste and tipping the person who cleans the gutters [TS]
01:39:03 ◼ ► and if in America people are getting screwed over because they're in the class of employees that you don't need to pay [TS]
01:39:13 ◼ ► and so I thought OK well maybe this would make like an interesting video let me try to find out who exactly are they [TS]
01:39:18 ◼ ► and it varies state by state it's just impossible to know there is no way any reasonable person can travel [TS]
01:39:27 ◼ ► and be expected to have any idea of which employees fall into this category and which don't. [TS]
01:39:33 ◼ ► And this is to me adds to this whole burden I was making a list as I was traveling around because it was there was one [TS]
01:39:39 ◼ ► there was one person I'll get to the just put me over the edge of like OK I have to talk about this. [TS]
01:39:47 ◼ ► Who's driving everybody around and I happen to get off the shuttle bus first and I gave the guy a couple dollars [TS]
01:39:58 ◼ ► and also had a slightly weird moment handing him the dollars and like OK I did it wrong here. [TS]
01:40:03 ◼ ► and now I feel like I've made awkward between us because I gave him two dollars was two dollars too much was it too [TS]
01:40:08 ◼ ► little is everybody else is being a dick don't know you know there's there's there's the there's the restaurants like [TS]
01:40:17 ◼ ► but the one that put me over the edge that I thought I don't understand this world anymore was I was at a a buff a [TS]
01:40:25 ◼ ► breakfast at a nice restaurant where we pay for Buffy breakfast now the buffets are weird because you have these waders [TS]
01:40:36 ◼ ► and I presume that you still tip them as well on a buff a breakfast even though they're just bring me coffee like [TS]
01:40:45 ◼ ► but I guess I still am supposed to tip twenty percent it seems all very confusing but OK fine fine. [TS]
01:40:55 ◼ ► but they have is that twenty percent on the coffee I like the now I just look like a miser. [TS]
01:41:02 ◼ ► but the one that put me over the edge was I went up to get an omelet in the buffet [TS]
01:41:07 ◼ ► and the omelet guy had a ball for tips in front of him and and IT people were putting tips in the [TS]
01:41:14 ◼ ► and that was the one I just thought I have lost I have lost any ability to understand anything in the world am I am I [TS]
01:41:34 ◼ ► and I hate it I hate the mental burden of it I hate the cognitive load of it I hate this social awkwardness of it [TS]
01:41:42 ◼ ► and I hate the fundamental unknowability of it is that everything about it I hate Have you managed to put any sort of [TS]
01:41:51 ◼ ► or is this one really got you fly mixed this one has me flow mixed because in the restaurants it's like OK that's just [TS]
01:42:01 ◼ ► I'm not I'm not going to vary it for service because it's not even optional if you know if this is as far as I'm [TS]
01:42:06 ◼ ► concerned this is a required thing so OK fine that was really easy and that's the one that causes me the least dress [TS]
01:42:12 ◼ ► but it's all of the other ones that I find really frustrating and there's there is there is no solution to this at all. [TS]
01:42:21 ◼ ► and it's just particularly bad in America so it's a bit more relief actually to be back to the U.K. [TS]
01:42:35 ◼ ► You know how do you you know have problems with tipping in the can anyway you pretty you pretty sameness then you know [TS]
01:42:43 ◼ ► and the one that I do is a usually tip the delivery people given getting food delivered to the house. [TS]
01:42:50 ◼ ► It's one of these things where if you just think about it too long it just doesn't make any sense because I look at if [TS]
01:43:00 ◼ ► Yeah as they were why is it because it's food is that while I feel like this is a restaurant that has happened the guys [TS]
01:43:12 ◼ ► and I always assume that a lot more exploited whereas the people who deliver a lot my groceries [TS]
01:43:17 ◼ ► and a lot of my packages so I seem to be quite well to do adults and I shoot that day. [TS]
01:43:27 ◼ ► and one of the things that try to to cut off people in advance is that everybody thinks that they do. [TS]
01:43:33 ◼ ► Tipping based on service and they talk about oh it's as important feedback loop for quality of service [TS]
01:43:40 ◼ ► and the studies on this come back and say no this is not an effect that the service that you get a restaurant [TS]
01:43:47 ◼ ► or the service that you get any tipping situation has a less than one percent impact on average for the amount that [TS]
01:43:54 ◼ ► and all of the things that matter for changing tipping they're just weird human prejudices so the number one thing that [TS]
01:44:02 ◼ ► a someone can do to raise the amount of tips they get is be an attractive person of the opposite gender of the person [TS]
01:44:11 ◼ ► and say Oh is that how that is nothing is nothing to do with service this is just like this bizarre human bias [TS]
01:44:21 ◼ ► and people who are unattractive I get the short end of the stick of this one like well that's not really fair [TS]
01:44:26 ◼ ► and then this is built into someone's compensation they are it's terrible the thing. [TS]
01:44:30 ◼ ► Give me the worst with tipping is that suddenly I have to carry a bunch of cash around. [TS]
01:44:34 ◼ ► Yeah and there's nothing worse than realizing I'm in a moment when a tip is forthcoming [TS]
01:44:45 ◼ ► With the the chip and pin cards and now with the Apple Pay of just I hardly ever have any money on me and suddenly [TS]
01:44:54 ◼ ► when you're in America is like oh no you you need to always have a wallet filled with dollar bills just all the time [TS]
01:45:02 ◼ ► and that is just an awful part of it to tell is no solution to this I was just complaining that difficult world we live [TS]
01:45:12 ◼ ► Now Never have you know I should have put out a tip jar to my jobs the should have done that. [TS]
01:45:19 ◼ ► and I was getting people books I should have just stood there really awkward Lee after ahead of their book for a while [TS]
01:45:30 ◼ ► But isn't that the universal symbol for please give me a tip is someone lingering awkwardly showing you the other [TS]
01:45:36 ◼ ► things like oh he's the last which And he is how to open a car got I forgot about that I just I have yet to [TS]
01:45:42 ◼ ► successfully figure out what is the code word for I understand how to use the lights you don't need to send someone up [TS]
01:45:53 ◼ ► and where the toothbrushes go I don't even know what that person is that is that the bellhop whoever the person is it [TS]
01:45:59 ◼ ► comes up to the hotel room with you I always feel like I try to say as strongly as I can I do not need require your [TS]
01:46:06 ◼ ► services I can use this key I can figure out a room please don't come up again it's not cheap nice [TS]
01:46:20 ◼ ► and hang on now what do I do if the elevator that's the worst part is going up in the elevator with the person though I [TS]
01:46:26 ◼ ► have to make small talk with you again like can I take you in advance to not to not help me this is actually I don't [TS]
01:46:34 ◼ ► but in in London some buildings have a a porter in the bottom of the building with someone who keeps an eye on the door [TS]
01:46:44 ◼ ► but my my strategy has always been that if for whatever reason I end up in a big apartment building where they have a [TS]
01:46:50 ◼ ► porter at the bottom I am going to pre-tape that person their Christmas bonus with the explicit instructions of Please [TS]
01:47:00 ◼ ► Please don't think that I'm a terrible person but I just want to be able to walk in the door every day [TS]
