Speaker 1 (00:10):
I Heard podcasts, Hear more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the free iHeart app. We have Maddie Jay
in the studio with us, feeling in for Laura while
she's on maternity leave.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh look, it's great to be here, Brett. It's great
to be here.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's lovely to have you.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
You know, it's nice just to have a little break
from the family and the kids. If I'm honest, I
wouldn't put that out there.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
It's fine, baby's three weeks old.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's awkward.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Hey, I would love you to tell me if you
get sucked into this as frequently as I do, because
I know a lot of people are out there getting
scammed and getting fooled every day, but I seem to
be doing it a lot. Now, this is a PSA
for anyone. You really need to be METI literate. You
need to know where you're getting your news from and
what you're reading.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's hard to spot the fake news, Brett, it really is.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well. I got sucked in big time this week. So
at the start of the week, basically on a Sunday night,
we all get together in the team and we just
say what's been going on for the week. What's going
on in our lives? Has anything grabbed us this week?
Like it's a very normal kind of content production meeting.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
But Sunday nights that's when they get you. That's when
your guard is down.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
It is because you're so relaxed, horizontal.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
In the lounge, That's that's when they'll find you and
they'll get you.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I think there's a study somewhere that someone did that
said that you trust more on a Sunday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I believe it absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Fake news got you. God, No, But what it was is,
so we had this production meeting and we're all sending
our stuff in for the week, and what interested us?
And I said producer Grace, I was like, put this in.
This is absolutely crazy. We need to talk about this.
I was like, I cannot believe this is happening. Maybe
we can start some kind of a petition. I'm sure
there's a petition happening in France as we speak now.

(01:49):
It was a news article saying that the Eiffel Tower
is being demolished next year, because that's right. Yeah, And
it did have a lot of background to it. It was
quite in depth. It said that when contract had had water, when.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
You say a lot of background to it, like it.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Was the sentences. When you dropped down, it was a link.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
That said the contract had it was it was up
for a new ale and they may not rent. The
French government may decide that enough's enough.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
It was so unusual the details that I was like,
must be real, because they were like, it had something
like one hundred and thirty six year lease contract and
it was up and France was like, we just can't
afford to maintain anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
It's pretty believable, is it the home, isn't it. You're
a clever woman, britt Well.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
To be fair, I didn't actually click on the link.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
It was just the headline Do you have a university degree? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I do.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
It just was the.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Headline, and I got sucked. I'm my own worst enemy,
so I Senator Grace. Grace was absolutely mortified, laughed in
my face and sent it back and said you're a loser.
The Eiffel Tower is not being demolished, and I got
I'm just sick of it. I don't know how to
tell anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Do I have to chaperon you out of the studio
when there's finishes and make sure you don't get done
by the wallet inspectors because I'm worried about you, Brett. Honestly, Skin,
that's not AI.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
My problem is AI has gotten so good.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's it. That's not AI, because that's an article.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Was AI photoshop as well? Well? Of it already gone demolish? Yeah?
I believe it. No, but surely Okay, we loved, We laughed,
We laughed. Producer Grace, tell me the video that you
sent me that you thought was fascinating. I sent almost
everyone in my contact list a video of a seagar
riding an e scooter, and I was like, that's so
clever to do this. It's not real. Sorry, as if

(03:28):
the Eiffel Tower had been demolished at the end of
one hundred and thirty six year least, that is more
believable than a seagull writing a electric scooter. I thought
just the power of his wings was propelling.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
It was the power of Look. I just want to
just remind you, Britt, that it wasn't actually AI that
you got done by. It was just a false article.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
All right, what have you been done? Don't believe you're
not getting done by AI?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Okay, Well I got I did on one occasion. I
get done I like to think of myself as being
pretty cluey. But it was a little while ago. They
had the bunny rabbits on a trampoline.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, every no, you know what got me?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I believed that, Oh, I'm sure you did.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then I saw fifty videos and each video had
a different animal on the trampoline, like.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
The sausage dogs. That's right.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I was like, it's not that many animals.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Any seagulls on their graves seagulls.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
And they didn't make it to the trampoline anyway. They
say pound their kids.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
The wild world
