Everybody, It's time for and starting room flo. It's the
cutting room floor.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Rule.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, do you still wear a fitbit?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I love my fit Bit?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
What do you use it for?

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Just to see my telemetry? I love telemetry when I'm
watching the bathist V eights. I like to see when
they put all the screens on the screen and you're
watching the cargo through the g's and all that sort
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
So does it your fitbit tell you all your fitness
stats and it goes to your phone, and how fen
do you look at it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Do you want to see? Like, say, for example, let
me just indulge me for a minute, the Amanda, I'm
glad you asked. I'll just go to my fitbit app.
So for example, right now, I had six hours and
six minutes of sleep.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
That's not much.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
My heart right now is beating at seventy one beats
per minute.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I show you this picture of Jennifer Hawkins b.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
My resting heart beat is fifty four.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I have a Apple I watch thing, and I'm a
slave to it. I don't look at the results on
the phone. I just look at my watch and see
how many steps I've done. I'm just obsessed with s
I've seen me yelling at your watch very much so
because it will say time to move, and I think
I can't move right now, thank you. I'm paying music,
good chess.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
So I have.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
And also i might go to the gym and I'll
forget to take it and I'll go what is the
entire point of being here? Why am I here? I'm
only doing it to impress my watch. Well, the reason
I bring this up is that there's such a thing
called Strava. This is where it's a fitness app where
people upload like you do with your fitbit, but onto

(02:23):
your own phone, but he keeps your stats of your
fitness levels, how many.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Steps stare with other people.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
You can and you can probably.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't do that.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
You can with all of these You can have a
group of friends you share it with. You can see
how you're competitive with people around the world. If you
want to blah blah blah, Well, what's happened now is
people who are taking all this stuff very seriously are
paying others to do the run for them and upload
the info. Yeah, it started in Indonesia. Some young guys
started doing it and it thought it to be a joke,
and more and more people were asking him to do it,

(02:56):
and now it's become a thing. It's like air tasker
for your fitness. I've sometimes that I'm walking with a
dog or she's running around like a fool. Not as
much now because she's getting older. I've wanted to put
my footbit on her and let the steps count for mine.
I'd noticed that my gate had changed slightly and I
was sniffing bums.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Now that sounds like a man to me. Tag it
out of the greyhound track. Off you go, Mini.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Because also those apps record all kinds of unusual activities.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, remember Rupert Murdoch had a fitbit app. And I
don't know if this is an urban myth or not,
but it's worth talking about. And all the family were
the kids and Rupert and then wife Jerry Hall were
all gathered in on the same fing.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well you'd want to see how fit Rupert was, because
I think is today the.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Day and anyway, well he is pretty fit because apparently
at nine o'clock at night. There was regular activity at
nine o'clock each night for how long for the prescribed time?
About five minutes prescribed time.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
That'll do you, Yes, five.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Minutes is all right. So all the kids were okay, Dad,
there's probably.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Enough of that to take down off the app.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Let's get off the app. Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with that, Rubert.
He's an old fellow. He's doing all right. I'm certainly
not getting that action because you look.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
At my hellows some guy Indonesia to take care of.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Poor mine's flatlining.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Okay, kids, that's it's not a roof a roof yay,
