Summary

DUMB STUFF FRIDAYS: Everyone’s talking about hot takes, but a viral TikTok video got us thinking about lukewarm takes. ‘Cos you know, not everything is so serious all the time, etc., etc. We’ll take you through some of our favourite ones!!!! And then, the very funny, very terrifying clip from the AFL’s Instagram this week. And to finish: Slow News Week.

I have a question for you. I'm going to start with like a broad stroke philosophical question.

0:05.0

How I always want to start a Dullto Friday's episode. What rights do you have over the

0:10.8

photography of your own meal when you eat out? What rights do I have? As in like, this has never

0:18.3

happened to me where someone's tried to take a photo of my meal.

0:21.7

So we, I say we, Oli and I were out for dinner last week and we were sitting at like a bar table,

0:28.3

like a chef's table. So you're all sitting in a row with like strangers. Yeah. And I was on the end

0:32.4

and he was sitting next to said strangers. And when his meals came out, the person next to him would pick up their phone

0:39.9

and get really close to the meal and take photos of it. And he kept looking at me in shock.

0:46.8

Did they ask for permission? No, no, there was no, never, there was no words exchanged.

0:50.3

No social contract exchange to say, I'm going to be doing this. Not at all. And he was like, I mean, I guess you can do that. But why does it feel so wrong? That's bizarre. And they weren't the social media manager of the restaurant. No, no, no, no, just a casual eater. A patron. Yeah, patron. Because then we spent the next hour talking about it.

1:11.9

Because we're married, so we don't have much to talk about it anymore.

1:14.1

So if something like this happens, that's it. That's your night time. The ethics of food photography. Yeah, because there's nothing to say you're not allowed to do it. No, no, no, no, no. You're not touching the food. You're not touching him. But it's not like this person could just turn around and take a selfie with Olly whenever they want.

1:29.6

You do have the right.

1:30.8

No, because that's his face. touching him. But it's not like this person could just turn around and take a selfie with

1:28.3

Ollie whenever they want. You do have the right. No, because that's his face. It's just his food.

1:32.5

It's going in his little tummy. Would he quickly dip a fork in to try and ruin the photo

1:38.9

pre? No, he was too slow to it all. He was just constantly in the state of shock. What I need to do is I need to go to this restaurant's, like, tagged photos to see if this person was, like, uploading his food. And it was photos, not video, because I could imagine a TikTok are doing this. This is very TikTok-esque behaviour. I got the sense it was a photo, because they got quite close to the meal. And you didn't say a thing.

2:02.6

No, of course not. Babe. Would you, you would not have said something, would you?

2:06.4

Mitch 100% would say a thing. Would he? I think we'd go, let me, let me channel my inner Mitch.

2:12.7

He'd go, uh, sorry, what? Are you, are you okay?

2:19.0

And then to go, I'm just a bit, I'm just a bit.

2:21.4

Yeah, it's a classic, like you don't have to finish the sentence.
