Do you know what I think is so funny that
you went American accent and then you realized you did it?
I reckon, but you committed.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I committed to the second one. Yes, I've felt it. Yeah,
it felt very odd, same cast instead of cast, but
I just went with it. Anyway. It is Melan Monty.
Thanks for listening to the Show and Tell podcast. International audience,
International American mal All right, we kick off every one

(00:43):
of these pods with one of your facts. What have
you got today? Okay?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Did you know that's snow White was Disney's first full
length movie right back in nineteen thirty seven when it
came out. It took thousands of artists freeze to complete
that movie because, when you think about it, every scene,
every character.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Had to be handdrawn.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Also, in the original book, The Grimm's Brother's Book Snow White,
the dwarves didn't have names. So here are some original
names that were floated before they decided on the ones
that we know. Blabby, big, Wiggy, Gabby, dirty, Gloomy, nifty
and shifty.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh cute. They all work. I mean, who knows what
they are? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Do you know what he sounds like, gobby, lazy, sneezy.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
That's all I know.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Lazy, sneezy, grumpy, grumpy.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
They were all sort of like ease things, identifying things
like lazy was always tired. It didn't want to you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, grumpy sneezy obviously always sneezed.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm thinking of the I'm thinking of the fucking rain
Dancer Prance.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Oh, I'm thinking of the Smurfs. Oh, Gargamel, Gargamel and
the one token girl in it Smurf. Oh my god, hilarious.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
You know something really embarrassing. I'm gonna admit I can't
remember if I've admitted this before. Do you know? It
was only up until a couple of years ago I
realized that reindeers were actual animals. I thought that they
were like made up. Have you seen when they shared
their antlers? That's terrifying.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Moose do that? Well?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I think it's anything with antlers, Yes.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
And it's google it. Do google moose or yes? Because
it's like they all it looks so painful. They like
bleeding and it's like all skin shedding.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
It's it's just it comes out of nowhere. It's like
they start shaking. It's like for us if all of
a sudden we started shaking and then her arm just
fell off.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, fuck and hectic. It doesn't look fun at all. No,
it doesn't anyway. Moving on from the Smurfs and antless shedding,
good god, we go to weird places straight away, Like
we started off with snow white and ended with antless shedding. Yeah,
too fun.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Something for everyone.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I'm really annoyed today because my son, Baxter, who goes
to a school that is a private school, so the
fees are through the fucking roof, and every single thing
there's always at an extra Any sport they want to do,
that's an extra two hundred bucks. Anything that any any

(03:42):
slight extra thing costs a bucketload, but their uniforms. So
he's grown out of his blazer, which is a nightmare
because those things are two hundred dollars. Yes, boarding a
new one one day one day.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
When he got home and he said I can't find
my blazer. I'm like, you pull your room apart, you
go to lost property, you do everything you can to
find that blazer, can't find it. And I said, you
lose that again, you're paying He's got a job. I'm like,
that's two hundred dollars, So four hundred dollars in two
days on blazers, which to me is such a horseship

(04:22):
part of a uniform. Yeah, I think.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I think the concept of particularly in primary school. Like
I don't know if backster school is the same, but
in my kids primary school and high school, they're winter uniforms.
Is a fucking tie?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Oh yeah four not my June. I don't think the guns. Yeah,
but yes, Baxter has to wear a tie. It's so
outdated in the white shirt and the blazers. There's no
warmth to a blazer either.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
No, there's not the thing with the This is what
I think too, because I looked at my son's blazer
the other day and I'm like, that's looking to be
short in the arms. Fucking another one. How annoying. But
then I did think, I complain it's like two hundred
and fifty bucks. But if you're looking at like.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Cosper wear, yeah I know. I mean, still you buy.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yourself a jumper for two hundred bucks. Ye?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
And you know I know because I used to have
to wear year eleven and twelve. I swapped over to
a private school and that was such a thing back then.
And remember it was like year eleven and twelve. A
lot of people would swab private school, so that's all
we could afford afford. But I remember I was what
We had to wear our blazers to school, and I

(05:34):
had my dress on, and the principal lived right near me. Anyway,
he pulled out the same time. I was walking down
the lane to the bus stop and I saw his
car pulling out. I bolted because I didn't have my
blazer on, and hid behind a fence and he just
pulled up to the fence and waited for me to
get up, and he goes, I'll see you in my
office at lunchtime.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
That's fucked.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
It was. Can you imagine jumping behind a fence and
then just slowly peering up and your principal sitting there
in a car. And then I remember I went to
his corey at lunchtime though, and he was didn't even
know why I was there. I was like, I was
shitting my pants.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
You weren't wearing your blazer. Also, did you say you
were walking to school?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
No, to the bus stop, okay, but you were out
of school grounds. It's it was a private bus, like
we had to wear our as soon as we left
the house.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Basically, yeah, yeah, I mean that irritates me. My daughter's
school as well, is like this thing. You can't just
have the jumper on with your school dress. You have
to have the blazer on as soon as you're like
like when the girls are walking out of school, there's
a teacher there or whatever, it's like blazer on. Yeah,
And I'm like, fuck.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Off, such bullshit. I get. I don't know, there's something
I do like about it being uniformed, but it also
shit me because there's no individuality there at all. Like
they're all out of where nail polish, their earrings have
got to be studs. There's you know, Baxter's hair gets

(07:10):
to his shoulders and we've got to cut it. It's
like it's not real life to be like we're encouraging individuality,
yet they all have to look exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I know. And it's also assuming that you're going to
get a job where you have to wear which is suit.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
In time, Like it's such shoring. It's just like, let's
wish more for our kids than just going to a
private school. And I'm not judging any lawyers like whatever
you do. But it used to be you go to
a private school, you get onto the old boys who
used to go there. That'll get you into a legal
firm or an accounting firm. And that's kind o.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
What it was. Yeah, it's complete bullshit. And I think
particularly in primary school. I am four uniforms. I think
uniforms are good, easy, especially primary schools. Put them in
a fucking tracksuit. You know it's tracksuit, but so they're comfortable, Yes,
like these wool jumpers and they're all itchy and they're
allies and you come alone.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
I mean the dryer. My primary school used to have
a trackie that was ours. Was the TRACKI when we
were in primary school. Yeah, I bet it was parachute too.
Wasn't parachute and I'm not that old. No, it was
tracking material.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
No, my son's is his sports uniform is like a
parachute material jacket and pants.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, Dry's quick, Dry's quick, drys quick. So anyway, on Instagram,
I think from like since my saying, I'm manifesting in
stuff like your phone listens, so then it's hearing this
is my new life. So it's sending me all this
new age horseshit stuff. I'm not into those therapies because

(08:45):
I've spent so much money on things in the past,
like I've spoken about in Iconic book, does spinal energetics
and stuff like that. And her body really responds where
mine's like, get the fuck off the bed. This is horseshit. Yeah. Anyway,
there's different people who do really out their stuff. Good
for them, but I just can't help but go, You're

(09:07):
wasting your time and that's such a scam, like you
trying to enroll people into doing your courses and stuff
like that. Anyway, this came up on my Instagram and
I was like, are you joking? Is this a new
form of breathing or something. It's called oreon light energy.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh my god, I think I shared something like this before.
Is this play it for you?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Play it right? So there's a lady barrowing the camera
on Instagram and making these fucking weird noises. So she's
written raising your vibration and activating dormant frequencies. She's got
her hands moving around in dumb directions. Here we go.

(09:59):
I hate so much.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
It sounds like when you're a kid and you tried
to speak another language. Pretend you could speak another language.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
It is totally on it. She's reading written having shared
a different transmission with somebody else. I activated their orient
light language. Was that even mean you're dummy.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's just everyone has a platform now, and.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's where it's like, stop stop, what is orient light energy?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
But there's I think the thing is like if that
is giving someone something, if someone watches that and they go, oh,
I can feel the orient orian energy, fucking let.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
It go because I know I just can't. This is
ludicrous and just vulnerable people falling for the ludicrousness of
going O. I'll do an orient light energy course.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
I was gonna say, I wonder if she's if she's.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Got a course, she would end up everyone has a
these days.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I saw a thing the other day. This is my
husband's fault. He starts sending me videos about conspiracy theories
and I'm like, not what he never was, but like,
how the twin Towers. Look, I'm really undecided about that.
First it started with the moon landing and I'm like, look,
I don't think we went to the moon either, but

(11:24):
I so you don't think buzz older, And then that
went to no, I don't because there's a lot, well,
there's lots of things that point to it, like stuff
about the shadowing that, something about the lighting, that it
was done in a studio. Basically, because why have we
not gone back? If you did in nineteen sixty eight
or whenever it was, how have we not gone back

(11:47):
all these years later? Anyway, So he sends me these videos,
So then I watched them, and then my algorithm comes
up with weird shit like that. I saw one of
these alternative doctors talking about how putting piss on your
face helps with anti aging.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Oh did you do it?

Speaker 3 (12:06):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
I didn't tell me you did that.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Of course I didn't. But if it was true, would
I probably?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, it's free.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
We've spoken before about a girl who went viral on
TikTok putting shit on her face. I would draw the
line at that piss. I mean, if it worked, I'd
be open to it.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
So much cheaper, so much cheaper. But it would have
to be in the shower. I wouldn't want to do
it over a sink, collector put it over do that
in a sink or something, No way.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
But you probably you'd probably piss into it. And it
has to be a morning piss too.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Oh that's so gross. Do you Is there any Kate
lane Brook, who I work with, used to work with
this mad into a conspiracy theory. I think cod was
like horseshit, Like there was every day she would speak,
I'd go, here we go, here's another conspiracy theory, like

(13:07):
she proudly is open about it.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, I mean, it's also I can't let myself believe
it because I find it too upsetting to believe it
could be true that September eleven was an organized attack
by the US, like, because there's lots of docos and
stuff about how the towers weren't, like they couldn't have
fallen like that, the way that they collapsed at the end,

(13:32):
and there's bits where you can see the flaws below
so almost looks like you know, when when a building's
being demolished. Yeah, the pattern of the explosions. Like so
basically they're saying that the US did it, and I'm like,
I can't accept like that thought of I know, like

(13:53):
there's some shit about humanity just becoming fucked, but I'm
like that seems that seems too much. But I do
think that, you know.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
I mean, I don't think it's a bad thing to
question things, like we're just a sheep that we go
along with everything. But some of them are just so
ludicrous to me, where it's like that is not it's
just just the fact that they are always out to
get us. I'm like, who's they?

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Like?

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Who is they? I just find that so odd, where
it's like the government's constantly out to fuck us, yet
you speak to each individual person in the government, they're
just people like it's so weird to me. I just
don't buy into I know anyway. So I won't be
doing orion light therapy.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
That to me cobiracy and until about twenty years down
the truck when it's proven that it does something, and
then we'll get on the band totally.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
We'll bring it to you then. Yeah, I'll be doing
exclusive memberships to my course.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Are you speaking of going a bit lighter than life therapy?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I saw this thing again.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Every sentence starts with I saw this thing on my Instagram.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah. I just don't know where you get that. You
were so busy yet the amount of time you spend
doing deep diving into stuff is wild.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I can't question something and not look into it. I
need to have an answer.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Do you do chat GBT for all your answers now
or do you still do Google? Still Google?

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I really have to learn how to use that.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
What GPT it's quite phenomenal, Like I'm really new to it,
and everything that comes up on my Instagram is like
you're not using aar right, like you can do everything.
It's terrifying. But I now often will put my questions
into chat GPT as opposed to Google, because I feel
like it gives me better answers.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
It's terrifying. I work on another podcast, I'll give it
a plug. It's called Empowering Leaders with Luke, and he
has all different it's a leadership podcast and he has
all different really interesting guests on and one of the
episodes there was a guy talking about AI and yes,
like there's parts of it that's really scary, but he said,

(16:14):
because my thought is stuff like more younger kids, the
art of let's say, thinking of a concept for a
story or coming up with fresh ideas is going to
be lost the imaginative process because you can put into
chat GPT, give me an idea, give me five ideas

(16:36):
for whatever, And it's like, no, let your brain learn
how to do that first, right, But what he said
was it's like accountants. If you look at accountants back
in you know, decades ago, they had to spend all
that time, you know, like sitting there and handwriting out
all the calculations and whatever, and it took hours and hours,

(16:57):
whereas now there's say, I don't know, computer software whatever
that can do all that, so it frees them up
to do other things like connect with clients better or whatever.
And I thought, I guess and it's like the calculator.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, everybody would have freaked out, Oh my god, our
brains are going to die. It's funny, isn't it, Because
each generation thinks the next generation's fucked. So it's like
this is just clearly where we're at with it. And
it's like everyone's job is going to be obsolete unless
you learn AI and you can do it in an
AI version. So it's like jobs are still going to exist,

(17:32):
but they're just going to look very differently than they
do now. Like there's a AI. A radio station has
said that they've got an AI announcer now where no
see that. Yeah, so it's just somebody who's back announcing songs,
meaning like you know that was Beyonce, it is ten
to twelve you're on Hot FM, and yeah, so that

(17:52):
and I'm like that's so sad, like everything's just gonna
be replaced. And same as like my girlfriend owns a
fashion brand and she was saying like photo shoots that
they spend tens of thousands of dollars on going over
to you know, Europe and doing shoots. They're not going
to need to anymore. They're just going to be able
to get a model into a studio and then it

(18:15):
will be so realistic that it's going to look like
it's on location. Like there's just so many things like
that that you that you don't think of that we
would even be looking at now and not knowing.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
And they're probably not even going to need the actual
model anymore because it will be an AI generated image
of a person, which again then what what the fuck
is that going to do to beauty standards?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, it's really scary and same as thy too, you know,
like people who their job is doing voiceovers for ads
and stuff like that, like that's all going to be
obsolete because if they get just a tester of your voice,
they can use that and so then all of the
ads will just be done by AI.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's funny all the job that people, certain people would
look down on, like plumbers, electricians, mechanical laughing.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
They're the one, yeah, the.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Ones that are going to fucking it's gonna be real payday.
Sex workers.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Oh yeah. It's interesting the medical side of AI too,
because a lot of people are turning to AI for
their diagnoses or whatever you say, because it's more in
some cases, is more thorough than you GP. Yeah, so wild,
isn't it?

Speaker 2 (19:30):
I know? I mean that was such a fucking side
track of what I'd actually started saying to start with.
This thing I saw on Instagram.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I didn't even get there, Okay, I saw on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
It was a meme or whatever. And they were saying
when the theme song is so good that you'd never
skip it? Oh yeah, And they played this fucking banger.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
So good.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Like the first line.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, oh it was so. It was such a treat
this show. And remember the scary monsters who used to
live next door to the Fraggles.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
I remember the song. I don't remember much about Rocky Show.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
It was beautiful. It's like they lived underground or something.
They had like an underground world probably yeah, because the
big Monster's next door used to try and get them,
steal them and like pretend to want to eat them
and stuff. I loved it. But remember, yeah, let the
music play and then everyone would make up their own songs.
Down frag a Rock, grabl Fragle buy the cock Swimming

(21:13):
Head Now the frag is dead, Oh childhood classic. It
was so good. I loved that, you know what I
thought of?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Though? For me, the great I've put these these two songs.
I've actually put them in my Apple Music. Oh, fraggle rock,
fragle rock. Because it's as much as I'm averse to
a communal clap.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, that would double great. That's a good clap. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
I mean I wouldn't do the clap, but I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
I just don't know in what situation you would be
to do, Like they're not going to put on frag
rock at a party in a community clap of fragle rock.
I mean they should if you put that on at
a party. Fuck, imagine, oh my god, if I ever
have a party, which will never happen, I'm playing fraggle rock.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yes, Well, when you and Sam do a surprise wedding,
tell everyone come to my birthday party and then it's
really a wedding.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
You won't on a plane. I'll have to give you
so much notice so you can drive.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
I'll drive. But this for me is the ultimate song.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Okay, what show is this again?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Different Strokes? Different Strokes?

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (22:32):
I loved that as well.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
I it I highly highly recommend if you haven't already
seen it. Someone did a few years ago a cut
to Different Strokes the intro but made dark so it's
like him watching the kids play basketball on the court,
then ushering them into the limo and then taking it
and it's got music under It's.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Very fucking I loved Family Ties Different Strokes. Now I
didn't love Different Strokes. I just I was thinking of
family ties. I wasn't adding. I was a bit into
different strokes though. Next Different Strokes.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
What a story?

Speaker 1 (23:11):
