Good 23 00:01:22,093 --> 00:01:24,133 Speaker 3: to be back after a bit of a break it 24 00:01:24,253 --> 00:01:24,653 Speaker 3: I met. 25 00:01:24,853 --> 00:01:26,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people have been had a little 26 00:01:26,613 --> 00:01:28,453 Speaker 2: bit of a break haven. They Yeah, it seems to 27 00:01:28,493 --> 00:01:29,573 Speaker 2: be a lot of people out and about. When I 28 00:01:29,572 --> 00:01:31,893 Speaker 2: was traveling around the country holiday and I was in Topaul, 29 00:01:31,932 --> 00:01:35,533 Speaker 2: What a beautiful town that is. Also I went to Corimandeltown. 30 00:01:35,613 --> 00:01:37,932 Speaker 3: Did what was going on in the Corimandel. 31 00:01:37,973 --> 00:01:38,053 Speaker 5: Oh. 32 00:01:38,133 --> 00:01:40,213 Speaker 2: I got some mates that have a place up there. 33 00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:44,333 Speaker 2: It was beautiful. Have you heard of the Driving Creek Railway? 34 00:01:44,413 --> 00:01:44,813 Speaker 3: I have not. 35 00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:48,933 Speaker 2: So there was a sky called Barry Bricknell. Barry Brickle 36 00:01:48,973 --> 00:01:51,413 Speaker 2: who was a potter who decided that he wanted that 37 00:01:51,453 --> 00:01:54,813 Speaker 2: he needed to get clay from his property and you 38 00:01:54,893 --> 00:01:57,853 Speaker 2: know it wood down to run as kilm to do 39 00:01:57,893 --> 00:02:00,613 Speaker 2: his pottery. This is good, So he started building a railway. 40 00:02:00,853 --> 00:02:04,213 Speaker 2: And then he decided building a railway was incredibly cool. 41 00:02:04,573 --> 00:02:08,252 Speaker 2: So on his property he built ten bridges, three tunnels. 42 00:02:08,573 --> 00:02:10,853 Speaker 2: This this big railway and you can go up and 43 00:02:10,893 --> 00:02:14,093 Speaker 2: you can you can ride around on on Brickle's railway. 44 00:02:14,173 --> 00:02:16,213 Speaker 2: There's little stations that he's made and at the top 45 00:02:16,253 --> 00:02:18,012 Speaker 2: there's this thing called the Eiffel Tower, which is this 46 00:02:18,093 --> 00:02:22,933 Speaker 2: big tower that's look. 47 00:02:22,773 --> 00:02:26,053 Speaker 3: It's through beautiful native bush by the looks of it. 48 00:02:26,252 --> 00:02:29,413 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he replanted a lot of the native bush. 49 00:02:29,453 --> 00:02:33,893 Speaker 2: But he's smashed this railway together with just basically his 50 00:02:33,972 --> 00:02:39,692 Speaker 2: hands and old bits of you know, old mining you know, 51 00:02:39,972 --> 00:02:42,453 Speaker 2: bits of iron from old mining places that he bought. 52 00:02:42,613 --> 00:02:44,933 Speaker 2: And some of the retaining walls are just wine bottles 53 00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:47,973 Speaker 2: and beer bottles smashed into the retaining wall to have it. 54 00:02:48,053 --> 00:02:49,773 Speaker 2: And you know he's buried on the on the track. 55 00:02:49,773 --> 00:02:52,692 Speaker 2: Actually when you go past, you wave it as little 56 00:02:53,093 --> 00:02:54,693 Speaker 2: his grave that he built for himself. 57 00:02:54,773 --> 00:02:55,013 Speaker 3: It is. 58 00:02:55,173 --> 00:02:57,213 Speaker 2: It is one of the coolest things that I have 59 00:02:57,373 --> 00:03:01,013 Speaker 2: ever seen, and I feel ridiculous that I've never heard 60 00:03:01,053 --> 00:03:03,293 Speaker 2: of it. So Bury Brickle, the story is incredible. If 61 00:03:03,293 --> 00:03:05,133 Speaker 2: you ever go to Coramandeltown, you've got to go to 62 00:03:05,133 --> 00:03:08,693 Speaker 2: the Driving Craig railway. It is. It is cool because 63 00:03:08,693 --> 00:03:12,933 Speaker 2: it's a story. When you're on it, it's a cool railway. 64 00:03:13,252 --> 00:03:15,373 Speaker 2: But the fact that this guy just ran around, this 65 00:03:15,573 --> 00:03:20,293 Speaker 2: crazy old potter ran around basically in the nude. Apparently 66 00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:22,013 Speaker 2: he was in the whole when he's doing it fair 67 00:03:22,093 --> 00:03:26,933 Speaker 2: enough to smashing it together and building all these viaducts 68 00:03:26,933 --> 00:03:30,132 Speaker 2: and bridges that are really high. 69 00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:33,573 Speaker 3: Incredible legion gets throng on around, but that man certainly 70 00:03:33,653 --> 00:03:35,093 Speaker 3: is a legend by the sounds. I have a look 71 00:03:35,133 --> 00:03:38,173 Speaker 3: at the video. Looks incredible. And as you know, Matt, 72 00:03:38,253 --> 00:03:40,933 Speaker 3: I had to go down back to christ Church to 73 00:03:41,453 --> 00:03:43,973 Speaker 3: hire a box truck to get the rest of our 74 00:03:43,973 --> 00:03:47,693 Speaker 3: stuff and do the trip back up north. And we 75 00:03:47,733 --> 00:03:50,653 Speaker 3: made it. Clearly, we made it without too many incidents. 76 00:03:50,653 --> 00:03:52,133 Speaker 3: But I've got to say I've got a new found 77 00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:57,533 Speaker 3: appreciation for truckers because this bear boy. It was pretty 78 00:03:57,533 --> 00:04:00,693 Speaker 3: good for most of the trip, but going up hills 79 00:04:00,973 --> 00:04:02,093 Speaker 3: were sluggish. 80 00:04:02,333 --> 00:04:04,293 Speaker 2: An your partner told me you crashed it into the 81 00:04:04,333 --> 00:04:05,172 Speaker 2: house when you got home. 82 00:04:05,253 --> 00:04:08,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, I said, a little incidences, but yeah, 83 00:04:08,613 --> 00:04:11,813 Speaker 3: so no accidents until we got and can I say, 84 00:04:11,853 --> 00:04:14,933 Speaker 3: we're down the end of a long driveway and my 85 00:04:15,013 --> 00:04:17,533 Speaker 3: partner got out. We were doing everything right, so I said, Maeve, 86 00:04:18,453 --> 00:04:20,733 Speaker 3: just watch all the four corners of the truck for me. 87 00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:23,173 Speaker 3: Just tell me watch one's closest to the fence or 88 00:04:23,213 --> 00:04:25,733 Speaker 3: the other person's house. And she did that to be fair. 89 00:04:25,973 --> 00:04:29,173 Speaker 3: But the part that hit the house was the top 90 00:04:29,213 --> 00:04:31,413 Speaker 3: of the truck. I forgot that. It's about four menths high, 91 00:04:31,653 --> 00:04:34,053 Speaker 3: so right at the corner of the house, and I 92 00:04:34,093 --> 00:04:36,053 Speaker 3: was going about two k an hour, so I just 93 00:04:36,053 --> 00:04:36,693 Speaker 3: felt this way. 94 00:04:36,893 --> 00:04:41,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, the three dimensions of a truck can be complex. 95 00:04:41,813 --> 00:04:42,013 Speaker 6: Yeah. 96 00:04:42,093 --> 00:04:43,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, if the landlord was listening, it's all Good's we 97 00:04:43,973 --> 00:04:46,253 Speaker 3: got no damage, no structural damage, but we got there 98 00:04:46,293 --> 00:04:49,373 Speaker 3: Saturday days. It's all good. Right on to today's show. 99 00:04:49,413 --> 00:04:53,493 Speaker 3: After three o'clock a very fascinating post by Robbie Williams 100 00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:58,333 Speaker 3: on Instagram, and he effectively said that he struggles when 101 00:04:58,373 --> 00:05:00,693 Speaker 3: people come up to him and ask him for a selfie. 102 00:05:00,893 --> 00:05:03,493 Speaker 3: He struggles worth a bit of social anxiety from time 103 00:05:03,533 --> 00:05:06,253 Speaker 3: to time. He was in the US at this point, 104 00:05:06,333 --> 00:05:09,373 Speaker 3: and he mentions in the post he's not sidered famous 105 00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:11,453 Speaker 3: in the US, but even on this flight he'd got 106 00:05:11,493 --> 00:05:12,693 Speaker 3: approached about four times. 107 00:05:12,773 --> 00:05:15,893 Speaker 2: It's very compelling because your first reaction to something like 108 00:05:15,933 --> 00:05:18,053 Speaker 2: that is to go your famous, suck it up, what's 109 00:05:18,053 --> 00:05:20,413 Speaker 2: the big deal if you take a photo? But when 110 00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:23,093 Speaker 2: you read his story, you kind of start to understand 111 00:05:23,133 --> 00:05:25,733 Speaker 2: his point of view. So we want to talk about 112 00:05:26,573 --> 00:05:30,093 Speaker 2: should you should you go up and hassle famous people 113 00:05:30,093 --> 00:05:30,613 Speaker 2: for a photo? 114 00:05:30,733 --> 00:05:32,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, yep, that's going to be a good chat. 115 00:05:32,973 --> 00:05:35,613 Speaker 3: After three o'clock, after two o'clock, what would you be 116 00:05:35,733 --> 00:05:38,173 Speaker 3: okay with AI taking over? A great story in the 117 00:05:38,173 --> 00:05:43,013 Speaker 3: Herald today about AI being utilized in therapy, but it 118 00:05:43,013 --> 00:05:43,973 Speaker 3: goes much further than that. 119 00:05:44,133 --> 00:05:46,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty good at therapy, apparently, according to this 120 00:05:46,293 --> 00:05:49,133 Speaker 2: argument an article. I mean, if it's really serious, they 121 00:05:49,213 --> 00:05:50,853 Speaker 2: still claim you should go to a real therapist. But 122 00:05:50,893 --> 00:05:52,893 Speaker 2: apparently AI therapy is pretty good. 123 00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:53,253 Speaker 3: Yeah. 124 00:05:53,493 --> 00:05:56,173 Speaker 2: But it's also been claimed that robot surgeons will be 125 00:05:56,213 --> 00:05:58,653 Speaker 2: as good as human surgeons in a few years, and 126 00:05:58,813 --> 00:06:01,413 Speaker 2: better than the best surgeons within five years. This is 127 00:06:01,453 --> 00:06:04,253 Speaker 2: a claim that's being made. How comfortable would you be 128 00:06:04,533 --> 00:06:09,173 Speaker 2: with a robot surgeon? What about flying the pl flying 129 00:06:09,173 --> 00:06:11,413 Speaker 2: a plane not an autopilot, but you get on an 130 00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:16,613 Speaker 2: international flight and it is completely flown by AI, robot 131 00:06:17,253 --> 00:06:20,053 Speaker 2: or robot taxis. What about a ROBOTAXI taking your kids 132 00:06:20,093 --> 00:06:22,533 Speaker 2: to school? Because all the stuff is coming, But how 133 00:06:22,533 --> 00:06:24,853 Speaker 2: are you going to feel about it? For me, for 134 00:06:24,853 --> 00:06:29,213 Speaker 2: some reason, I think that surgery is a step too far. 135 00:06:30,173 --> 00:06:31,693 Speaker 2: I want a human to do the surgery on me. 136 00:06:31,893 --> 00:06:35,493 Speaker 2: But then again, you know famously some surgeons enjoy taking 137 00:06:35,493 --> 00:06:36,893 Speaker 2: myth and fetamine and huge amounts. 138 00:06:36,973 --> 00:06:38,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. 139 00:06:38,173 --> 00:06:39,213 Speaker 2: Robots don't do that. 140 00:06:39,253 --> 00:06:41,933 Speaker 3: No, they certainly don't. That is after two o'clock and 141 00:06:41,973 --> 00:06:44,373 Speaker 3: keen on your thoughts on that then. But right now, 142 00:06:44,573 --> 00:06:47,933 Speaker 3: let's have a chat about compulsory military training. Matthew Houtson 143 00:06:48,493 --> 00:06:50,813 Speaker 3: has penned an opinion piece in The Herald arguing that 144 00:06:50,893 --> 00:06:54,173 Speaker 3: the introduction of what he calls universal military service could 145 00:06:54,213 --> 00:06:59,093 Speaker 3: provide social, economic and fiscal benefits alongside increased defense investment 146 00:06:59,133 --> 00:07:00,773 Speaker 3: that is currently being made. 147 00:07:00,973 --> 00:07:04,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, military service and a sort of what 148 00:07:04,813 --> 00:07:07,733 Speaker 2: he's describing and slightly tongue in cheek what he's saying, 149 00:07:07,773 --> 00:07:10,493 Speaker 2: but it got me thinking. He's suggesting an outward bound 150 00:07:10,493 --> 00:07:14,773 Speaker 2: style training with military basics but focused on personal development, 151 00:07:14,893 --> 00:07:17,613 Speaker 2: and he believes it might help with New Zealand's persistent 152 00:07:17,693 --> 00:07:22,253 Speaker 2: underclass issue. You know, there's a huge economic drag and 153 00:07:22,293 --> 00:07:25,613 Speaker 2: a link to crime with a specific which military service 154 00:07:25,933 --> 00:07:31,493 Speaker 2: could help address. And additionally, a a trained population would 155 00:07:31,533 --> 00:07:35,213 Speaker 2: boost resilience against natural disasters as well as the military thing. 156 00:07:35,453 --> 00:07:36,013 Speaker 7: But it is. 157 00:07:36,133 --> 00:07:39,893 Speaker 2: Interesting how useless we are becoming. So I was talking 158 00:07:40,973 --> 00:07:44,653 Speaker 2: before about Barry Brickle, I throwing together that that rail 159 00:07:44,773 --> 00:07:49,253 Speaker 2: line amazing, human, incredible, incredible, that generation could do anything. 160 00:07:49,493 --> 00:07:52,333 Speaker 2: Look at Bruce McLaren. I watched the McLaren movie Over 161 00:07:52,413 --> 00:07:54,453 Speaker 2: the Over the Break for another time, the great Roger 162 00:07:54,493 --> 00:07:58,773 Speaker 2: Donaldson movie. McLaren and all his mates could throw together stuff. 163 00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:03,093 Speaker 2: They are incredibly competent people. We are not competent. We 164 00:08:03,373 --> 00:08:05,853 Speaker 2: have we're bringing. We are getting less and less competent 165 00:08:05,853 --> 00:08:08,333 Speaker 2: at the basics. And that's that's just assuming that our 166 00:08:08,373 --> 00:08:12,453 Speaker 2: life will continue to be the luxurious, luxurious pleasure dome 167 00:08:12,493 --> 00:08:15,573 Speaker 2: that it is now. But terrible things can happen. And 168 00:08:17,853 --> 00:08:22,613 Speaker 2: maybe you might push back against compulsory military service, but 169 00:08:22,973 --> 00:08:24,973 Speaker 2: surely you should be training your kids to be able 170 00:08:25,013 --> 00:08:27,413 Speaker 2: to survive in difficult circumstances. 171 00:08:27,493 --> 00:08:29,693 Speaker 3: It is fascinating that we live in an age where 172 00:08:29,773 --> 00:08:32,773 Speaker 3: whatever you want to do, whatever information you need in 173 00:08:32,773 --> 00:08:35,453 Speaker 3: your life, you can find it very easily. It's all 174 00:08:35,493 --> 00:08:37,372 Speaker 3: there on the internet to find if you want to 175 00:08:37,413 --> 00:08:39,253 Speaker 3: figure out how to do a bit of plumbing, if 176 00:08:39,253 --> 00:08:40,973 Speaker 3: you want to figure out how to sort your car out. 177 00:08:41,173 --> 00:08:43,813 Speaker 3: But you're right, for some reason, maybe it's too much 178 00:08:43,813 --> 00:08:46,293 Speaker 3: information that we're being bombarded with. All our kids are 179 00:08:46,333 --> 00:08:48,853 Speaker 3: being bombarded with that they can't figure out what is 180 00:08:48,892 --> 00:08:51,852 Speaker 3: actually practical what's not. Whereas this would narrow it down. 181 00:08:52,012 --> 00:08:57,932 Speaker 2: We are soft, spongy and useless. We're sitting just scrolling 182 00:08:58,173 --> 00:09:01,573 Speaker 2: through absolute rubbish on our phones. We watch people doing 183 00:09:01,573 --> 00:09:04,732 Speaker 2: impressive stuff, but we can't do it ourselves, and so 184 00:09:04,973 --> 00:09:08,973 Speaker 2: maybe universal military service would be a way to guarantee 185 00:09:08,973 --> 00:09:14,652 Speaker 2: that our population was at least vaguely practically competent going forward. 186 00:09:14,732 --> 00:09:18,413 Speaker 2: It would also foster national unity and social cohesion, according 187 00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:23,093 Speaker 2: to Matthew Houghton, combating social media driven division, and it 188 00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:27,613 Speaker 2: would probably strengthen cultural integration as well. 189 00:09:27,653 --> 00:09:30,253 Speaker 3: So if we're talking about a year of universal military 190 00:09:30,293 --> 00:09:33,813 Speaker 3: service for everybody to undertake over the age of eighteen 191 00:09:33,933 --> 00:09:37,213 Speaker 3: from this day fourth, then that's not a huge commitment, 192 00:09:37,293 --> 00:09:37,613 Speaker 3: isn't it. 193 00:09:37,852 --> 00:09:39,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, it wouldn't even if it be a year, it 194 00:09:39,693 --> 00:09:43,413 Speaker 2: could just be three months. It could be So it 195 00:09:43,453 --> 00:09:47,693 Speaker 2: got We came back in nineteen forty nine, there was 196 00:09:47,732 --> 00:09:52,493 Speaker 2: a referendum and there was a huge, huge positive response 197 00:09:52,533 --> 00:09:55,573 Speaker 2: to it, and the referendum got past easily landslide right, 198 00:09:55,852 --> 00:09:58,772 Speaker 2: But then it was removed in I think it was 199 00:09:58,813 --> 00:10:02,853 Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty eight. Compulsory military training was abolished, but 200 00:10:02,933 --> 00:10:05,733 Speaker 2: there were fourteen weeks full time intensive training. 201 00:10:05,852 --> 00:10:08,252 Speaker 3: Yeah, we could do that right, I'd be into it. Yeah, 202 00:10:08,372 --> 00:10:09,973 Speaker 3: And that's easy for me to say, because I don't 203 00:10:09,973 --> 00:10:11,933 Speaker 3: think I'd be rustled up to do a bit of 204 00:10:11,973 --> 00:10:14,533 Speaker 3: universal military training. I would have jumped at the chance 205 00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:15,013 Speaker 3: at eighteen. 206 00:10:15,093 --> 00:10:17,532 Speaker 2: Has anyone ever heard of someone that's been on the 207 00:10:17,573 --> 00:10:21,013 Speaker 2: outward bound courses and not come back and said it 208 00:10:21,053 --> 00:10:25,053 Speaker 2: was the most positive thing for their life, or someone 209 00:10:25,093 --> 00:10:27,013 Speaker 2: with kids. These kids have been on the outward bound 210 00:10:27,012 --> 00:10:28,612 Speaker 2: and have come back and said, oh, that was terrible 211 00:10:28,653 --> 00:10:30,653 Speaker 2: for my kid. I'm really annoyed that they went off 212 00:10:30,693 --> 00:10:32,612 Speaker 2: and did all those practical things and learned how to 213 00:10:32,653 --> 00:10:36,533 Speaker 2: be a proper human being that can actually function outside 214 00:10:36,653 --> 00:10:37,533 Speaker 2: of their bedroom. 215 00:10:37,653 --> 00:10:40,693 Speaker 3: Yeah, spot on, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 216 00:10:40,693 --> 00:10:42,693 Speaker 3: the number to call. Do you see any fish shooks 217 00:10:42,773 --> 00:10:46,293 Speaker 3: with compulsory military training? Is it a good idea for 218 00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:47,252 Speaker 3: us to look at it? 219 00:10:47,453 --> 00:10:50,333 Speaker 2: Well, this text from Walks that starts off haha to 220 00:10:50,612 --> 00:10:54,012 Speaker 2: really today's muppets doing CMT. Yeah, dreaming they couldn't change 221 00:10:54,012 --> 00:10:56,612 Speaker 2: a light bulb let alone, load a mag and shoot 222 00:10:56,612 --> 00:11:00,573 Speaker 2: a high recoil rifle. Yeah, well maybe that's the point. 223 00:11:00,813 --> 00:11:02,773 Speaker 3: That's how you start to change it, when you get 224 00:11:02,773 --> 00:11:06,652 Speaker 3: them into a military style training academy. Then they'll start 225 00:11:06,693 --> 00:11:07,612 Speaker 3: to figure that stuff out. 226 00:11:07,653 --> 00:11:10,453 Speaker 2: Surely the problem is that the muppets. We can't imagine 227 00:11:10,453 --> 00:11:12,493 Speaker 2: the muppets doing it. That's exactly the reason why we 228 00:11:12,533 --> 00:11:14,933 Speaker 2: need some kind of something like this. Anyway, Oh, eight 229 00:11:15,053 --> 00:11:18,132 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty a year again or a 230 00:11:18,213 --> 00:11:18,613 Speaker 2: year four. 231 00:11:19,053 --> 00:11:21,693 Speaker 3: It is sixteen past one. Back very surely you're listening 232 00:11:21,732 --> 00:11:22,772 Speaker 3: to Matton Tyler. 233 00:11:24,492 --> 00:11:27,973 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 234 00:11:28,213 --> 00:11:32,013 Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used 235 00:11:32,053 --> 00:11:32,653 Speaker 1: talks that'd be. 236 00:11:33,573 --> 00:11:36,773 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, nineteen past one, and we're talking about the 237 00:11:36,813 --> 00:11:41,252 Speaker 3: idea of universal military training, compulsory military training, if you will. 238 00:11:41,252 --> 00:11:45,612 Speaker 3: Matthew Houghton, well known columnist and PR expert, pend to 239 00:11:45,653 --> 00:11:48,213 Speaker 3: piece on Antiic Day, saying we should absolutely look at 240 00:11:48,213 --> 00:11:48,612 Speaker 3: doing that. 241 00:11:48,612 --> 00:11:50,653 Speaker 2: And looking at him actually walking around, he could probably 242 00:11:50,693 --> 00:11:55,252 Speaker 2: do with some universal military service. But what he's describing 243 00:11:55,293 --> 00:11:57,413 Speaker 2: here is more of an outward bound style training with 244 00:11:57,492 --> 00:12:01,093 Speaker 2: military basics but focused on personal development. Surely that would 245 00:12:01,093 --> 00:12:03,973 Speaker 2: be a good thing. Surely competent young people that have 246 00:12:04,053 --> 00:12:07,652 Speaker 2: experienced more than just their phones would be would be 247 00:12:07,732 --> 00:12:10,693 Speaker 2: a good thing. But what do you think oh one 248 00:12:10,773 --> 00:12:15,172 Speaker 2: hundred eighty ten eighty eleanor welcome to the show. 249 00:12:16,533 --> 00:12:23,013 Speaker 8: Hello, good to see matt In Tyler. I went into 250 00:12:23,573 --> 00:12:27,372 Speaker 8: the UKLI when I was only seventeen. I not close 251 00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:30,573 Speaker 8: off my eighteenth Thursday. It was a bit impulsive at 252 00:12:30,573 --> 00:12:35,693 Speaker 8: the time that I was into my sport and I 253 00:12:35,732 --> 00:12:38,933 Speaker 8: started a course at college which wasn't the right course 254 00:12:38,933 --> 00:12:42,213 Speaker 8: for what I and wanted to end up being, and 255 00:12:42,773 --> 00:12:46,973 Speaker 8: I didn't want to be working doing a really dumb 256 00:12:47,093 --> 00:12:49,572 Speaker 8: drop job. I thought it would be a good opportunity 257 00:12:50,533 --> 00:12:53,492 Speaker 8: to just go and see the world a bit and 258 00:12:54,492 --> 00:12:57,253 Speaker 8: develop some skills, and that's exactly what it gave me. 259 00:12:57,413 --> 00:13:01,933 Speaker 8: I have absolutely no regrets that a couple I've picked 260 00:13:01,973 --> 00:13:08,693 Speaker 8: out as a potential officer pretty quickly and I ended 261 00:13:08,773 --> 00:13:12,892 Speaker 8: up seconded to the Royal Military Police, the Red. 262 00:13:12,732 --> 00:13:15,373 Speaker 4: Cats, and I had a whale of a. 263 00:13:15,453 --> 00:13:19,852 Speaker 8: Time on EXCI. I learned how to parisond, I was 264 00:13:19,892 --> 00:13:24,173 Speaker 8: taught how to scubadized are free. I played unlimited amounts 265 00:13:24,173 --> 00:13:27,333 Speaker 8: of squash and badminton, as well as running and stuff 266 00:13:27,333 --> 00:13:31,453 Speaker 8: like that, so I stuffed up my needs and all 267 00:13:31,492 --> 00:13:35,173 Speaker 8: in all I saved a lot of money and was 268 00:13:35,173 --> 00:13:37,453 Speaker 8: able to buy my own house before I was nineteen, 269 00:13:37,852 --> 00:13:38,453 Speaker 8: did you. 270 00:13:38,372 --> 00:13:41,213 Speaker 2: Choose to go and do this? So this was volunteer. 271 00:13:41,573 --> 00:13:44,052 Speaker 2: You volunteered at seventeen Coast to do it. 272 00:13:44,732 --> 00:13:51,372 Speaker 8: But I don't think that I don't think that it 273 00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:55,213 Speaker 8: would do anybody any harm, having experienced it myself. And 274 00:13:55,213 --> 00:13:57,892 Speaker 8: this f was back in the day when sargents shouted 275 00:13:57,933 --> 00:14:02,573 Speaker 8: at you the whole time. But I look around nowadays, 276 00:14:03,213 --> 00:14:06,933 Speaker 8: I am older, and I look around, I'm still working. 277 00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:10,372 Speaker 8: I'm older, and I look around at people when they're 278 00:14:10,372 --> 00:14:13,172 Speaker 8: wearing all these full nails and the full silashes, and 279 00:14:13,933 --> 00:14:15,493 Speaker 8: I think, oh, you wouldn't love them. 280 00:14:15,612 --> 00:14:16,333 Speaker 9: They love it. 281 00:14:16,533 --> 00:14:19,373 Speaker 8: You know you haven't got a clue. But I think 282 00:14:19,453 --> 00:14:24,733 Speaker 8: actually learning how to well getting fat, learning how to 283 00:14:24,773 --> 00:14:30,653 Speaker 8: look ass yourself, getting a job based on having an 284 00:14:30,733 --> 00:14:36,213 Speaker 8: exemplary army record is a big thing any of the sources. 285 00:14:36,253 --> 00:14:38,773 Speaker 8: If you've got an exemplary record when you come out, 286 00:14:39,413 --> 00:14:42,613 Speaker 8: it's like having a big kick of approval against your 287 00:14:42,693 --> 00:14:48,013 Speaker 8: name as being honest, hard working and innovative and the 288 00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:50,613 Speaker 8: way you think. You do a lot of problems solving, 289 00:14:51,213 --> 00:14:54,693 Speaker 8: you do a lot of team buildings stuff as well, 290 00:14:55,133 --> 00:14:57,893 Speaker 8: And I think there you develop heats of skills which 291 00:14:57,933 --> 00:14:59,733 Speaker 8: are just so useful, whether you're going to go on 292 00:14:59,813 --> 00:15:02,693 Speaker 8: into university or whether you want to go and do 293 00:15:02,853 --> 00:15:06,333 Speaker 8: a trade, become a trade, whatever you do. Illinois so 294 00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:07,333 Speaker 8: many different skills. 295 00:15:07,733 --> 00:15:10,133 Speaker 2: Illin said, before you know, you see some people and 296 00:15:10,133 --> 00:15:12,533 Speaker 2: you go you wouldn't be able to handle it. Is 297 00:15:12,573 --> 00:15:15,052 Speaker 2: there some people? Because we're all talking about it, it 298 00:15:15,053 --> 00:15:16,773 Speaker 2: would be great if people were all forced to do 299 00:15:17,133 --> 00:15:20,052 Speaker 2: military training outwould bound type course. But is there some 300 00:15:20,093 --> 00:15:22,493 Speaker 2: people that would just not get anything out of it 301 00:15:22,533 --> 00:15:25,773 Speaker 2: at all? That they're too for the want of better 302 00:15:25,853 --> 00:15:28,933 Speaker 2: the world useless and it would it would just not 303 00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:31,693 Speaker 2: work out in any positive way for them. 304 00:15:32,373 --> 00:15:32,733 Speaker 7: I don't know. 305 00:15:32,853 --> 00:15:35,733 Speaker 8: You look at some of these rebility TV programs, not 306 00:15:35,773 --> 00:15:37,773 Speaker 8: that I've ever watched the whole of one beat. You 307 00:15:37,893 --> 00:15:41,733 Speaker 8: see somebody getting shocked with insects and not being able 308 00:15:41,773 --> 00:15:44,253 Speaker 8: to have a shower every day on some sort of 309 00:15:44,333 --> 00:15:47,533 Speaker 8: island somewhere, feeling cold and hungry, and actually they come 310 00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:49,453 Speaker 8: out of it and they've changed by the end of it, 311 00:15:49,493 --> 00:15:51,253 Speaker 8: and they don't what they've done. 312 00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:53,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, well exactly, So a lot of people that would. 313 00:15:53,693 --> 00:15:58,173 Speaker 8: Have medical reasons not to do it. Yeah, but I 314 00:15:58,213 --> 00:16:05,413 Speaker 8: think even have got ADHD and some sort of hit 315 00:16:05,533 --> 00:16:08,253 Speaker 8: on the spectrum could actually benefit a lot from it. 316 00:16:08,893 --> 00:16:10,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, well think so much for your call, eleanor well, 317 00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:13,133 Speaker 2: what do you think do you think there's some form 318 00:16:13,413 --> 00:16:19,773 Speaker 2: of universal military service or compulsory military service along the 319 00:16:19,813 --> 00:16:23,693 Speaker 2: lines of an outward bound training course with some military 320 00:16:23,693 --> 00:16:26,013 Speaker 2: basics would be a good thing to bring in. I mean, 321 00:16:26,053 --> 00:16:27,533 Speaker 2: it'll be a hard one to get across the line, 322 00:16:27,573 --> 00:16:29,773 Speaker 2: so we're just talking hypothetically here. I mentioned there'd be 323 00:16:29,773 --> 00:16:32,253 Speaker 2: a lot of pushback on it. Yeah, it'd be hard 324 00:16:32,253 --> 00:16:34,733 Speaker 2: to get elected, hard to get the young person vote 325 00:16:35,773 --> 00:16:36,613 Speaker 2: going into an election. 326 00:16:36,693 --> 00:16:39,253 Speaker 3: Do you need them though? Now it's over eighteen. 327 00:16:39,693 --> 00:16:42,133 Speaker 2: They're too soft and squishy. They will never turn up 328 00:16:42,173 --> 00:16:42,613 Speaker 2: and vote. 329 00:16:42,733 --> 00:16:44,253 Speaker 3: This is a good text here. Hey, guys, do you 330 00:16:44,333 --> 00:16:47,453 Speaker 3: know what McLaren and Bricknell probably couldn't do? Clear cash 331 00:16:47,533 --> 00:16:51,373 Speaker 3: or copy a r L. Resourcefulness has been redefined. I 332 00:16:51,453 --> 00:16:54,693 Speaker 3: work with a wide demographic. A young, soft, squishy staff 333 00:16:54,853 --> 00:16:57,773 Speaker 3: pick up technology and new skills easily. Our older staff 334 00:16:58,413 --> 00:17:01,773 Speaker 3: are resource resilient and have many qualities, but also their 335 00:17:01,813 --> 00:17:04,812 Speaker 3: skill sets are becoming increasingly redundant. Side note. I am 336 00:17:04,853 --> 00:17:08,173 Speaker 3: all for compulsory military services.

Shame on you. How about no wars? 512 00:26:33,493 --> 00:26:36,533 Speaker 2: How about no fighting? For Christ's sake? If you have soldiers, 513 00:26:36,533 --> 00:26:39,053 Speaker 2: you get wars. How dumb are you? One follows the 514 00:26:39,093 --> 00:26:39,893 Speaker 2: other fascists? 515 00:26:40,133 --> 00:26:41,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you say that? 516 00:26:41,413 --> 00:26:44,053 Speaker 2: That's an interesting point of view. Interesting don't think anyone's 517 00:26:44,053 --> 00:26:49,053 Speaker 2: advocating advocating for wanting all kids to sent off to 518 00:26:49,133 --> 00:26:54,173 Speaker 2: die in wars. But as I said before, say we're 519 00:26:54,613 --> 00:26:58,093 Speaker 2: packham palla bellum. If you want peace, prepare for war. 520 00:26:58,733 --> 00:27:04,093 Speaker 2: So that that's really the argument. But also the the 521 00:27:04,173 --> 00:27:07,213 Speaker 2: idea is really that that it would be great for 522 00:27:07,853 --> 00:27:10,773 Speaker 2: kids to have some kind of practical output in their life, 523 00:27:10,973 --> 00:27:13,533 Speaker 2: and it would be good for their confidence and such. 524 00:27:15,533 --> 00:27:17,893 Speaker 2: I wouldn't even have to be end up you know 525 00:27:17,973 --> 00:27:20,613 Speaker 2: that probably would not even end up going to war, 526 00:27:20,653 --> 00:27:22,973 Speaker 2: but they might end up helping a civil defense emergency. 527 00:27:23,013 --> 00:27:26,773 Speaker 2: They might might be more practical when a flood hits 528 00:27:26,933 --> 00:27:29,613 Speaker 2: their town. They might be more practical in an earthquake 529 00:27:29,693 --> 00:27:31,933 Speaker 2: because they've had this training, because a certain amount of 530 00:27:31,973 --> 00:27:37,253 Speaker 2: it would be CPR and the like, so life skills, 531 00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:41,893 Speaker 2: you know, cooking, car maintenance, emergency preparedness wouldn't be a 532 00:27:41,933 --> 00:27:43,573 Speaker 2: bad thing for people who have even if they never 533 00:27:43,613 --> 00:27:44,253 Speaker 2: go off to war. 534 00:27:44,373 --> 00:27:46,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's fascist to send kids to 535 00:27:46,213 --> 00:27:49,213 Speaker 3: outward bounders, and it's effectively what you're doing here, just 536 00:27:49,453 --> 00:27:53,493 Speaker 3: up scaling on some important life skills. Michel, how are 537 00:27:53,493 --> 00:27:54,213 Speaker 3: you this afternoon? 538 00:27:55,533 --> 00:27:56,053 Speaker 5: Not to bed? 539 00:27:56,773 --> 00:28:00,493 Speaker 15: Thank you for the opportunity. I like the idea, but 540 00:28:00,653 --> 00:28:03,853 Speaker 15: I think there's some groundworkings to be done. There are 541 00:28:03,853 --> 00:28:09,213 Speaker 15: three to six years of legislation work away from this reality, 542 00:28:09,693 --> 00:28:11,733 Speaker 15: because once you set it up, you need to have 543 00:28:11,813 --> 00:28:14,813 Speaker 15: lots of regulations and you need an act regarding this 544 00:28:15,653 --> 00:28:19,533 Speaker 15: because when you start getting the new people coming out 545 00:28:19,573 --> 00:28:23,333 Speaker 15: of the school, graduating from high school, you need to 546 00:28:23,373 --> 00:28:25,812 Speaker 15: know if they straight go to university or not. If 547 00:28:25,813 --> 00:28:28,613 Speaker 15: they go to universities need to give them exemptions untill 548 00:28:28,693 --> 00:28:31,773 Speaker 15: they finish their job. If they are on training, they 549 00:28:31,813 --> 00:28:35,293 Speaker 15: need to finish their training and then go to military. 550 00:28:36,093 --> 00:28:39,093 Speaker 15: People who are on sole income earners, they have a 551 00:28:39,173 --> 00:28:43,853 Speaker 15: family with children and the spouse is at home looking 552 00:28:43,893 --> 00:28:46,733 Speaker 15: after the kids. You cannot just take them and send 553 00:28:46,733 --> 00:28:50,053 Speaker 15: them to military service because they are the sole income 554 00:28:50,093 --> 00:28:53,733 Speaker 15: earners and there's no other income. So the government starts 555 00:28:53,853 --> 00:28:57,573 Speaker 15: thinking budgeting this that if somebody has got the profession 556 00:28:57,973 --> 00:29:00,293 Speaker 15: and has got children, how they are going to take 557 00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:02,653 Speaker 15: him three to six months or eight months or whatever 558 00:29:03,053 --> 00:29:05,693 Speaker 15: out of the business, and how they are going to 559 00:29:05,733 --> 00:29:06,493 Speaker 15: feed the family. 560 00:29:06,693 --> 00:29:06,853 Speaker 9: Yeah. 561 00:29:06,893 --> 00:29:10,013 Speaker 2: Well, as I'm saying it, when he went into the service, 562 00:29:10,093 --> 00:29:13,413 Speaker 2: that there were concessions to be deferred to different times 563 00:29:13,693 --> 00:29:16,533 Speaker 2: if it was impossible. I mean, it might be a 564 00:29:16,533 --> 00:29:19,333 Speaker 2: little bit like jury service. And well Owen was saying 565 00:29:19,373 --> 00:29:21,933 Speaker 2: before that he was the final intake that was compulsory. 566 00:29:21,973 --> 00:29:24,413 Speaker 2: As people are pointing out, it did continue on for 567 00:29:24,493 --> 00:29:31,173 Speaker 2: quite some time as a ballot a ballot based situation 568 00:29:31,253 --> 00:29:33,813 Speaker 2: I guess similar to similar to jury service. 569 00:29:33,893 --> 00:29:36,733 Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense. Michelle thank you very much for 570 00:29:36,973 --> 00:29:39,093 Speaker 3: your call. I one hundred and eighty ten eighty is 571 00:29:39,133 --> 00:29:43,093 Speaker 3: the number of call before we play some messages. 572 00:29:43,213 --> 00:29:45,213 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've got a question for you, Tyler, yep 573 00:29:45,333 --> 00:29:47,733 Speaker 2: and everyone on nine two nine two. How many countries 574 00:29:47,773 --> 00:29:50,813 Speaker 2: have a form of compulsory national service as of twenty 575 00:29:50,853 --> 00:29:53,573 Speaker 2: twenty five? What percentage do you think of all the 576 00:29:53,613 --> 00:29:54,533 Speaker 2: countries in the world. 577 00:29:55,013 --> 00:29:56,893 Speaker 3: I'm going to write down a number here, but if 578 00:29:56,933 --> 00:30:00,413 Speaker 3: you think you know, nine two is the text number. 579 00:30:00,853 --> 00:30:02,733 Speaker 3: Flick us a message if you think you know. But 580 00:30:02,773 --> 00:30:04,493 Speaker 3: we've got to play some messages and we'll be back 581 00:30:04,733 --> 00:30:06,333 Speaker 3: very shortly. It is eighteen to two. 582 00:30:08,053 --> 00:30:12,053 Speaker 1: Big stories, the big issues, the big trends and everything 583 00:30:12,053 --> 00:30:15,733 Speaker 1: in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons used talks 584 00:30:15,733 --> 00:30:17,133 Speaker 1: that be us talks. 585 00:30:17,293 --> 00:30:19,013 Speaker 3: B It is a quarter to two. We're talking about 586 00:30:19,253 --> 00:30:21,093 Speaker 3: compulsory military service. 587 00:30:22,653 --> 00:30:24,893 Speaker 2: Before the break, ask the question how many countries have 588 00:30:24,933 --> 00:30:28,613 Speaker 2: a form of compulsory national services? A percentage? Someone says 589 00:30:28,653 --> 00:30:32,453 Speaker 2: eighteen percent. I reckon boys less than five percent? Is 590 00:30:32,453 --> 00:30:36,693 Speaker 2: this text? Eight percents is Lisa from christ Church. Well, 591 00:30:37,493 --> 00:30:42,253 Speaker 2: guess what what? Forty one percent of countries in the 592 00:30:42,253 --> 00:30:44,413 Speaker 2: world have a form of national service. 593 00:30:44,693 --> 00:30:45,453 Speaker 3: That is incredible. 594 00:30:45,533 --> 00:30:49,013 Speaker 2: So eighty countries, approximately eighty countries currently have some form 595 00:30:49,053 --> 00:30:51,573 Speaker 2: of national service or conscription in place, according to the 596 00:30:51,573 --> 00:30:54,613 Speaker 2: World Population Review. So it's pretty common in the world. 597 00:30:54,653 --> 00:30:57,333 Speaker 2: Not that radical, yeah, not that radical. I mean I 598 00:30:57,373 --> 00:30:59,493 Speaker 2: can't see it again. I mean it's sort of a 599 00:30:59,533 --> 00:31:03,253 Speaker 2: thought experiment now, because I can't see, you know, with 600 00:31:03,293 --> 00:31:06,133 Speaker 2: all the problems in the world, you know, a party 601 00:31:06,333 --> 00:31:10,333 Speaker 2: going into an election and saying this is our policy. 602 00:31:10,613 --> 00:31:14,253 Speaker 2: Maybe New Zealand First or Act might do it. I 603 00:31:13,453 --> 00:31:16,373 Speaker 2: can't I can't see the Greens going for it going 604 00:31:16,413 --> 00:31:19,693 Speaker 2: into an election because you would look at yourself losing 605 00:31:19,733 --> 00:31:21,533 Speaker 2: a lot of the young vote, wouldn't you. But it's 606 00:31:21,573 --> 00:31:23,373 Speaker 2: interesting because Owen said he didn't want to go in 607 00:31:23,453 --> 00:31:25,853 Speaker 2: when he went in back in the day, but afterwards 608 00:31:25,853 --> 00:31:27,253 Speaker 2: he was one of the best things he ever did 609 00:31:27,773 --> 00:31:29,973 Speaker 2: in his life. But you're not going to get a 610 00:31:30,013 --> 00:31:33,773 Speaker 2: lot of eighteen to eighteen year old voted. 611 00:31:33,933 --> 00:31:35,573 Speaker 3: You'll lose that vote. How would you feel as a 612 00:31:35,613 --> 00:31:37,893 Speaker 3: parent though, because generally, and it's easy for me to 613 00:31:37,893 --> 00:31:40,453 Speaker 3: say this that I like the idea and if I 614 00:31:40,573 --> 00:31:42,973 Speaker 3: was in that age bracket, I think that would be 615 00:31:43,013 --> 00:31:44,933 Speaker 3: a great thing to do. The amount of skills that 616 00:31:44,973 --> 00:31:47,653 Speaker 3: you'd pick up for free, even if it's a year. 617 00:31:47,693 --> 00:31:49,053 Speaker 3: A lot of people, a lot of kids have a 618 00:31:49,093 --> 00:31:51,293 Speaker 3: gap year. But how would you feel about your kids? 619 00:31:51,413 --> 00:31:54,613 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a more along the lines of 620 00:31:54,773 --> 00:31:58,733 Speaker 2: outward bound type situation. Yeah, this text sent our boys 621 00:31:58,773 --> 00:32:00,453 Speaker 2: to outward bound for three weeks to try and break 622 00:32:00,453 --> 00:32:02,813 Speaker 2: his computer game addiction. He handled it easy. The day 623 00:32:02,853 --> 00:32:05,413 Speaker 2: after he got back straight onto the computer. Didn't change 624 00:32:05,413 --> 00:32:09,173 Speaker 2: a thing all fights, But he have learned a bunch 625 00:32:09,213 --> 00:32:13,173 Speaker 2: of skills that may come in to usage at some 626 00:32:13,213 --> 00:32:16,133 Speaker 2: point in life. Because there are emergencies that happen and 627 00:32:16,213 --> 00:32:20,973 Speaker 2: people are totally utterly squidgy and useless, and in the 628 00:32:21,013 --> 00:32:23,493 Speaker 2: case of floods that we seem to have regularly in 629 00:32:23,533 --> 00:32:27,053 Speaker 2: this country, we are on a very shaky aisle. Earthquakes 630 00:32:27,373 --> 00:32:29,773 Speaker 2: are likely to hit. Whether it ends up being a 631 00:32:29,773 --> 00:32:34,573 Speaker 2: military arm application or a civil defense application. Surely some 632 00:32:34,653 --> 00:32:38,933 Speaker 2: kind of level, even three month training on that outdoor 633 00:32:38,933 --> 00:32:42,253 Speaker 2: outward bound style military style training would be fantastic. 634 00:32:42,333 --> 00:32:44,413 Speaker 3: Yep, Oh, one hundred and eighty teen eighty is the 635 00:32:44,493 --> 00:32:45,773 Speaker 3: number to call. Get a bob. 636 00:32:47,533 --> 00:32:51,053 Speaker 13: Yeah, hi, guys, I just wanted to throw my little 637 00:32:51,133 --> 00:32:58,173 Speaker 13: piece from here nineteen fifty six. When I first met 638 00:32:58,213 --> 00:33:04,453 Speaker 13: at high school, you were given an option of either Army, 639 00:33:04,813 --> 00:33:08,573 Speaker 13: Navy or Air Force and you got sittled out with 640 00:33:08,693 --> 00:33:11,053 Speaker 13: the uniform and you had one day a week in 641 00:33:11,173 --> 00:33:12,573 Speaker 13: training at high school. 642 00:33:13,613 --> 00:33:15,213 Speaker 2: Right, And what did that training involve? 643 00:33:17,333 --> 00:33:22,773 Speaker 13: Well, it was basic training, really gotcha? Yeah, But they 644 00:33:22,853 --> 00:33:29,173 Speaker 13: also give you lectures, you know, fifteen to twenty minutes 645 00:33:29,213 --> 00:33:31,933 Speaker 13: on how to do this, that or the other other thing. 646 00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:39,853 Speaker 13: That They also invited you to go on weekend sojiour 647 00:33:39,933 --> 00:33:43,973 Speaker 13: insend of the bush and get some more training. 648 00:33:44,053 --> 00:33:47,413 Speaker 2: But did you take them when they did you take 649 00:33:47,453 --> 00:33:48,173 Speaker 2: Did you take that out? 650 00:33:49,733 --> 00:33:49,973 Speaker 4: Yes? 651 00:33:50,053 --> 00:33:53,973 Speaker 13: I did, yeah, because I was culling beer at that 652 00:33:54,093 --> 00:33:55,333 Speaker 13: time on my weekends. 653 00:33:55,773 --> 00:33:56,013 Speaker 3: Right. 654 00:33:56,653 --> 00:33:57,853 Speaker 2: Do you think it would be a good thing to 655 00:33:57,973 --> 00:33:59,973 Speaker 2: reinstate that kind of training. 656 00:33:59,733 --> 00:34:03,533 Speaker 13: Bob, Well, I can't say we're doing any harm as 657 00:34:03,533 --> 00:34:05,133 Speaker 13: long as you left your riphone at home. 658 00:34:06,053 --> 00:34:06,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. 659 00:34:07,773 --> 00:34:07,973 Speaker 7: Yeah. 660 00:34:08,013 --> 00:34:09,973 Speaker 2: I think it's a big part of it. I think 661 00:34:10,493 --> 00:34:11,772 Speaker 2: that would be a big part of the reason why 662 00:34:11,813 --> 00:34:13,613 Speaker 2: people didn't want to do it now. Actually that's not 663 00:34:13,652 --> 00:34:15,732 Speaker 2: true because whenever you talk to young people now, they 664 00:34:15,773 --> 00:34:17,693 Speaker 2: know that they've got an addiction for their phone and 665 00:34:17,933 --> 00:34:20,733 Speaker 2: a lot of them. Whilst they'd be scared to be 666 00:34:20,853 --> 00:34:23,853 Speaker 2: stripped of their digital rights, they would know a lot 667 00:34:23,853 --> 00:34:26,293 Speaker 2: of them that that would be a good thing for them. Yeah, 668 00:34:26,333 --> 00:34:27,853 Speaker 2: a lot of them. There's a lot of talk about 669 00:34:27,853 --> 00:34:30,652 Speaker 2: brain right and how bad they feel after there's been 670 00:34:30,693 --> 00:34:32,573 Speaker 2: a whole day on the phone, and there's no doubt 671 00:34:32,613 --> 00:34:35,013 Speaker 2: that you would feel a lot better after a day's 672 00:34:35,053 --> 00:34:39,773 Speaker 2: physical activity out in the what Pops definitely than you 673 00:34:39,813 --> 00:34:42,533 Speaker 2: do just sitting on the couch, slumped over, scrolling doom scrolling. 674 00:34:42,613 --> 00:34:42,813 Speaker 16: Yeah. 675 00:34:42,813 --> 00:34:44,772 Speaker 3: And we're talking about eighteen year olds here, right, We're 676 00:34:44,813 --> 00:34:47,013 Speaker 3: not talking about ten year olds being signed up to 677 00:34:47,053 --> 00:34:49,853 Speaker 3: some sort of universal military academy. 678 00:34:50,053 --> 00:34:52,613 Speaker 2: This sexta says, I reckon many New Zealanders under forty 679 00:34:52,693 --> 00:34:54,853 Speaker 2: wouldn't have the common sense or resilience to cope with 680 00:34:54,893 --> 00:34:58,093 Speaker 2: any kind of military training. Yeah, but that's the whole point, 681 00:34:58,133 --> 00:35:00,373 Speaker 2: isn't it. That's why you want to do it. And 682 00:35:00,453 --> 00:35:02,173 Speaker 2: this has what got me thinking about not just this 683 00:35:02,293 --> 00:35:05,333 Speaker 2: article Matthew Howdon but I watched that documentary, the Roger 684 00:35:05,333 --> 00:35:10,933 Speaker 2: Donaldson documentary on Bruce McLaren, and everyone was so practical 685 00:35:10,973 --> 00:35:13,533 Speaker 2: back then. You know, when he went over to the UK, 686 00:35:13,613 --> 00:35:15,493 Speaker 2: he flew over a bunch of his kei. We mates 687 00:35:15,533 --> 00:35:18,573 Speaker 2: that were so practical at putting these engines together and 688 00:35:18,613 --> 00:35:22,813 Speaker 2: doing these things that no one can do anymore. And 689 00:35:23,133 --> 00:35:25,733 Speaker 2: that's all very well if we continue living this luxury 690 00:35:25,773 --> 00:35:28,213 Speaker 2: life that we've got now. But things can change in 691 00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:29,333 Speaker 2: the just like that. 692 00:35:29,453 --> 00:35:31,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to be put under the pump just 693 00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:32,733 Speaker 3: a little bit to get the best out of a 694 00:35:32,733 --> 00:35:34,813 Speaker 3: lot of people.

It was suggested 704 00:35:57,733 --> 00:36:01,173 Speaker 3: by Matthew Houton in the Herald an opinion piece of course, 705 00:36:01,213 --> 00:36:04,293 Speaker 3: as Matthew Houghton rights, but it's an interesting idea. 706 00:36:04,533 --> 00:36:07,533 Speaker 2: John, you want to talk about the scheme after the 707 00:36:07,533 --> 00:36:09,893 Speaker 2: one that Owen want On finished up. 708 00:36:10,973 --> 00:36:16,693 Speaker 17: Yes, when that CMT finished that brought in National Service 709 00:36:17,813 --> 00:36:20,893 Speaker 17: and it was based on the ballot system. If your 710 00:36:20,893 --> 00:36:24,293 Speaker 17: birthdate came up, you were required to go in. 711 00:36:24,693 --> 00:36:27,733 Speaker 2: And how long did that last for John?

But the 731 00:37:18,773 --> 00:37:22,053 Speaker 17: thing that I really noticed was you go in there 732 00:37:22,493 --> 00:37:25,293 Speaker 17: and there's a group of guys, or a few of them, 733 00:37:25,493 --> 00:37:28,493 Speaker 17: not that many, who had chips on their shoulders, and 734 00:37:28,533 --> 00:37:31,293 Speaker 17: they were what we called boggies back in those days. 735 00:37:31,333 --> 00:37:33,773 Speaker 17: I don't know whether you understand what that term means. 736 00:37:33,853 --> 00:37:34,853 Speaker 2: I've heard the term bodgy. 737 00:37:35,813 --> 00:37:37,973 Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, you know the milk barkowboy. 738 00:37:38,133 --> 00:37:38,333 Speaker 16: Yeah. 739 00:37:38,373 --> 00:37:41,093 Speaker 17: They stick and lear the jackets, all this sort of thing, 740 00:37:41,773 --> 00:37:46,573 Speaker 17: all their brass on their jackets and whatever. Anyway, a 741 00:37:46,613 --> 00:37:48,573 Speaker 17: few of them like that, and they came in and 742 00:37:48,613 --> 00:37:51,093 Speaker 17: they had chips on their shoulders, and they moaned about 743 00:37:51,093 --> 00:37:54,213 Speaker 17: this and moaned about that. But after a few weeks 744 00:37:54,253 --> 00:37:59,013 Speaker 17: of solid physical training they changed and mixing with other guys, 745 00:37:59,053 --> 00:38:02,373 Speaker 17: they changed their attitude and they thought it was great. 746 00:38:02,893 --> 00:38:05,933 Speaker 17: And some of them just just joined the army full time. 747 00:38:06,373 --> 00:38:08,493 Speaker 2: Wow, I've been turnaround. Thanks for you call. 748 00:38:08,613 --> 00:38:08,813 Speaker 13: John. 749 00:38:08,853 --> 00:38:11,933 Speaker 2: My eighteen year old UNI student daughter works physically outside 750 00:38:11,973 --> 00:38:16,653 Speaker 2: seven daily, seven am to eleven am daily before lectures, 751 00:38:16,693 --> 00:38:18,853 Speaker 2: said yesterday, it is so good. Otherwise she would be 752 00:38:18,973 --> 00:38:22,013 Speaker 2: scrolling her phone in bed all morning. Matt look at 753 00:38:22,093 --> 00:38:24,373 Speaker 2: Saint Paul's up in Hamilton. They do a compulsory six 754 00:38:24,413 --> 00:38:28,093 Speaker 2: month camp at Tahoe in fourth form in topor. And 755 00:38:28,133 --> 00:38:31,053 Speaker 2: it's all about what you're talking about. And this Texas says, 756 00:38:31,093 --> 00:38:36,333 Speaker 2: no one invades a strong country, many invade perceived weak ones. 757 00:38:36,373 --> 00:38:39,093 Speaker 2: New Zealand is week a prime target in today's grab 758 00:38:39,173 --> 00:38:39,773 Speaker 2: what you want? 759 00:38:40,093 --> 00:38:42,813 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, this, Jesus say is guys. Back in the 760 00:38:42,973 --> 00:38:45,093 Speaker 3: seventies and eighties, I was involved in a bad crowd. 761 00:38:45,173 --> 00:38:47,013 Speaker 3: This was in England. As soon as one of the 762 00:38:47,053 --> 00:38:49,733 Speaker 3: gang hit seventeen, he got sent back to Italy for 763 00:38:49,773 --> 00:38:52,213 Speaker 3: a year's military service. Two others were sent back to 764 00:38:52,253 --> 00:38:54,732 Speaker 3: their place of birth and one that had one year's 765 00:38:54,773 --> 00:38:58,173 Speaker 3: military service. In hindsight, that probably saved their lives. I 766 00:38:58,213 --> 00:39:00,293 Speaker 3: think it's a great idea. It wouldn't do any harm, 767 00:39:00,333 --> 00:39:02,692 Speaker 3: but just so long as my son doesn't have to go. 768 00:39:04,613 --> 00:39:10,053 Speaker 2: But surely that's part of your becoming an adult, as 769 00:39:10,213 --> 00:39:16,613 Speaker 2: being practical and challenging situations, not just you know, defense situations, 770 00:39:16,733 --> 00:39:20,333 Speaker 2: but so well the emergencies definitely know and disasters come 771 00:39:20,373 --> 00:39:22,772 Speaker 2: across someone a crass car on the side of the road. 772 00:39:22,893 --> 00:39:24,613 Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. 773 00:39:24,653 --> 00:39:28,373 Speaker 3: I can only see good out of something like universal 774 00:39:28,413 --> 00:39:31,813 Speaker 3: military training. But as we say, it was an opinion 775 00:39:31,813 --> 00:39:34,173 Speaker 3: piece by Matthew Houton, and whether it's a policy that 776 00:39:34,213 --> 00:39:36,613 Speaker 3: gets taken up by any party highly doubt it. 777 00:39:36,853 --> 00:39:39,053 Speaker 2: I'm going to say right now, this is not going 778 00:39:39,133 --> 00:39:42,053 Speaker 2: to happen in that current climate. This is not going 779 00:39:42,053 --> 00:39:42,693 Speaker 2: to happen. 780 00:39:42,453 --> 00:39:44,893 Speaker 3: Or put five bucks on that right, a new sport 781 00:39:44,973 --> 00:39:46,893 Speaker 3: and weather on its way. Great to have your company. 782 00:39:46,973 --> 00:39:47,893 Speaker 3: Very good afternoon to. 783 00:39:47,853 --> 00:39:53,613 Speaker 1: You talking with you all afternoon It's Matt Heathen, Taylor 784 00:39:53,613 --> 00:39:55,933 Speaker 1: Adams Afternoons US Talks. 785 00:39:55,973 --> 00:39:56,213 Speaker 13: It'd be. 786 00:39:59,693 --> 00:40:02,893 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, welcome back into the program. Great to have 787 00:40:03,013 --> 00:40:06,573 Speaker 3: your company as always where if you're listening in the country. 788 00:40:06,653 --> 00:40:10,293 Speaker 3: Let's have a chat about AI and in this instance therapy, 789 00:40:10,333 --> 00:40:11,813 Speaker 3: and we want to take it a bit broader than that, 790 00:40:11,933 --> 00:40:15,213 Speaker 3: but innovations in technology and artificial intelligence are making it 791 00:40:15,253 --> 00:40:17,813 Speaker 3: easier than ever for people to see a therapist. That's 792 00:40:17,813 --> 00:40:21,693 Speaker 3: according to clinical psychologist Jackie Maguire. She joined The Little 793 00:40:21,733 --> 00:40:24,413 Speaker 3: Things podcast that's the New Zealand Heeral's Health and well 794 00:40:24,453 --> 00:40:27,333 Speaker 3: Being podcast to discuss what we all need to know 795 00:40:27,373 --> 00:40:30,333 Speaker 3: about therapy. But something that stood out in that particular 796 00:40:30,453 --> 00:40:33,293 Speaker 3: conversation was around the use of AI. 797 00:40:33,813 --> 00:40:37,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, Maguire said, of one AI tool, I thought I'm 798 00:40:37,333 --> 00:40:39,453 Speaker 2: going to go and try it because it's like CHETJVT 799 00:40:39,613 --> 00:40:42,093 Speaker 2: but for therapy. And it was good. 800 00:40:42,693 --> 00:40:43,053 Speaker 3: Yeah. 801 00:40:43,093 --> 00:40:45,413 Speaker 2: So she's a professional that says it was quite good. 802 00:40:45,413 --> 00:40:47,613 Speaker 3: Not for she turned down the language there, I mean 803 00:40:47,653 --> 00:40:50,053 Speaker 3: she thought it was Bleman good? 804 00:40:50,253 --> 00:40:52,373 Speaker 2: She said, I would never say it on the radio, 805 00:40:52,413 --> 00:40:54,853 Speaker 2: but she said, shit, it was good. Yeah, but I'd 806 00:40:54,933 --> 00:40:56,853 Speaker 2: never read that on the radio because I'm professional. 807 00:40:56,973 --> 00:40:57,653 Speaker 3: That's high praise. 808 00:40:57,773 --> 00:40:59,533 Speaker 2: She said, I don't think you should be using AI 809 00:40:59,733 --> 00:41:02,573 Speaker 2: if you've got really complex stuff going on in your life. 810 00:41:02,573 --> 00:41:05,413 Speaker 2: But if you are, like, how do I navigate this 811 00:41:05,453 --> 00:41:08,613 Speaker 2: tricy conversation with my colleague? It was amazing. This was 812 00:41:08,613 --> 00:41:13,973 Speaker 2: a nine dollars ninety nine for a month a therapy AI. 813 00:41:14,733 --> 00:41:19,973 Speaker 2: It's an interesting thing, isn't it, Because therapy to me 814 00:41:20,213 --> 00:41:22,933 Speaker 2: seems to need human that part of it is talking 815 00:41:22,933 --> 00:41:25,732 Speaker 2: to a human, And yet more and more people are 816 00:41:25,733 --> 00:41:30,533 Speaker 2: finding solace and help from from AI. And it just 817 00:41:30,573 --> 00:41:33,693 Speaker 2: really leads to the question, what are you willing to 818 00:41:33,813 --> 00:41:37,293 Speaker 2: let taken be taken over by AI? What? What do 819 00:41:37,333 --> 00:41:41,173 Speaker 2: you need human to do? It's been claimed robot surgeons 820 00:41:41,213 --> 00:41:43,013 Speaker 2: will be as good as human surgeons in a few 821 00:41:43,093 --> 00:41:46,733 Speaker 2: years and better than the best human surgeons within five years. 822 00:41:47,773 --> 00:41:49,973 Speaker 2: And how comfortable would you be with a robot surgeon? 823 00:41:51,013 --> 00:41:54,053 Speaker 2: There's there's there's the robotic surgeons that are you know, 824 00:41:54,133 --> 00:41:59,013 Speaker 2: surgery tools that are held actually controlled by an actual doctor, 825 00:41:59,053 --> 00:42:02,333 Speaker 2: insurgeon but the precision is done, but they're controlled, so 826 00:42:02,493 --> 00:42:04,893 Speaker 2: you know, the incisions are. 827 00:42:04,773 --> 00:42:06,373 Speaker 3: Made, so they're a human operator. 828 00:42:06,453 --> 00:42:09,893 Speaker 2: Human operator. Yeah, and they've had examples where they've done 829 00:42:09,933 --> 00:42:12,093 Speaker 2: the surgery from thousands of miles away. You get the 830 00:42:12,093 --> 00:42:14,293 Speaker 2: best surgeon in the world can operate the machine in 831 00:42:14,333 --> 00:42:17,093 Speaker 2: your area from another side of the world. That's a 832 00:42:17,133 --> 00:42:19,973 Speaker 2: slightly different thing because there's a human being involved in it. 833 00:42:20,373 --> 00:42:25,853 Speaker 2: But what we're talking about the complete diagnosis and examination 834 00:42:26,613 --> 00:42:30,013 Speaker 2: and surgery performed by AI. 835 00:42:30,413 --> 00:42:32,453 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to put myself into that scenario. And 836 00:42:32,453 --> 00:42:35,293 Speaker 3: it's a thought experiment obviously, But so you get the 837 00:42:35,333 --> 00:42:37,973 Speaker 3: pre op by a human being and it runs you 838 00:42:38,013 --> 00:42:41,732 Speaker 3: through how this particular AI robot is to operate and 839 00:42:42,293 --> 00:42:45,253 Speaker 3: the likelihood of success, which hopefully is going to be 840 00:42:45,293 --> 00:42:47,413 Speaker 3: quite high, a lot higher than a human. And then 841 00:42:47,453 --> 00:42:50,093 Speaker 3: at that point you go into the theater, you get 842 00:42:50,093 --> 00:42:52,692 Speaker 3: put under and they wheel out this robot to get 843 00:42:52,693 --> 00:42:53,053 Speaker 3: to work. 844 00:42:53,413 --> 00:42:57,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'd be happy with that because you can 845 00:42:57,893 --> 00:43:00,172 Speaker 2: get for some reason, so you can get the percentages, 846 00:43:00,333 --> 00:43:02,733 Speaker 2: so you know five years down the track, and the 847 00:43:02,733 --> 00:43:07,973 Speaker 2: percentages are that the robot is better at the job 848 00:43:08,093 --> 00:43:10,893 Speaker 2: and more likely to succeed in the operation than the 849 00:43:11,053 --> 00:43:12,293 Speaker 2: human equivalent. 850 00:43:12,573 --> 00:43:16,173 Speaker 3: Which I mean, my brain says yes, but but the 851 00:43:16,213 --> 00:43:21,053 Speaker 3: emotional side of me, which is valid in certain circumstances, 852 00:43:21,053 --> 00:43:24,093 Speaker 3: would say, I'd still want some human interaction there. I'd 853 00:43:24,133 --> 00:43:28,652 Speaker 3: still want a human surgeon in the background, watching and 854 00:43:28,733 --> 00:43:31,813 Speaker 3: taking note in case this robot starts to do something 855 00:43:31,893 --> 00:43:33,453 Speaker 3: that it shouldn't be doing well. 856 00:43:33,853 --> 00:43:36,973 Speaker 2: Stephen Covey famously said that trust is equal parts character 857 00:43:37,013 --> 00:43:40,652 Speaker 2: and competence. Right, So you can prove the competence of 858 00:43:41,693 --> 00:43:45,693 Speaker 2: a robotic surgeon autonomous without a human being control and 859 00:43:45,733 --> 00:43:48,973 Speaker 2: ConTroll it. You could do that, and percentages you could, 860 00:43:48,973 --> 00:43:50,933 Speaker 2: you know, go well, ninety nine point nine to nine 861 00:43:50,933 --> 00:43:52,613 Speaker 2: percent of the time, this guy's going to succeed. 862 00:43:52,973 --> 00:43:53,212 Speaker 3: Yep. 863 00:43:53,493 --> 00:43:56,533 Speaker 2: And maybe that's better than a real surgeon. But the 864 00:43:56,613 --> 00:43:59,493 Speaker 2: characters are harder one to get right. And you can't 865 00:44:00,253 --> 00:44:05,133 Speaker 2: discount placebo either. That A lot of a surgery, surgical 866 00:44:05,173 --> 00:44:07,893 Speaker 2: proceizure is. You know, when I had major surgery on 867 00:44:07,893 --> 00:44:10,973 Speaker 2: my back, I met the neurosurgeon. We had a discussion. 868 00:44:11,253 --> 00:44:13,533 Speaker 2: I felt comfortable. He told me what he's going to do. 869 00:44:13,613 --> 00:44:14,853 Speaker 2: He showed me the thing he was going to put 870 00:44:14,893 --> 00:44:16,493 Speaker 2: in my back, what he's going to do then I 871 00:44:16,573 --> 00:44:18,933 Speaker 2: went into it and as a result, I was calm. 872 00:44:19,173 --> 00:44:22,013 Speaker 2: My body was ready to recover. And you know they say, 873 00:44:22,133 --> 00:44:24,573 Speaker 2: just going to speak to a doctor who looks like 874 00:44:24,613 --> 00:44:27,293 Speaker 2: a doctor maybe has a stiff scope in an office, Yep, 875 00:44:27,453 --> 00:44:31,253 Speaker 2: it will help you heal quicker. Yeah, white, the white. 876 00:44:31,053 --> 00:44:32,813 Speaker 3: But it is the bedside manner. And I don't have 877 00:44:32,813 --> 00:44:34,733 Speaker 3: the numbers in front of me. But study after study 878 00:44:34,773 --> 00:44:38,053 Speaker 3: has proven that doctors who have a phenomenal bedside matter 879 00:44:38,133 --> 00:44:40,373 Speaker 3: as and they show a lot of empathy, they get 880 00:44:40,413 --> 00:44:42,613 Speaker 3: on with their patient, they make the patient heed you say, 881 00:44:42,613 --> 00:44:47,013 Speaker 3: feel at ease. The outcomes are far superior then a 882 00:44:47,173 --> 00:44:50,013 Speaker 3: very competent doctor who's got a terrible bedside manner. 883 00:44:50,133 --> 00:44:52,253 Speaker 2: Well exactly. So if just before you go under, you 884 00:44:52,253 --> 00:44:54,893 Speaker 2: see R two D two coming at you with the scalpel, 885 00:44:55,293 --> 00:44:56,732 Speaker 2: what's the pacebo effect on that. 886 00:44:57,013 --> 00:44:59,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, if he's just coming at me with beeps and bops, 887 00:44:59,173 --> 00:45:01,013 Speaker 3: then yeah, maybe I wouldn't be so into it. 888 00:45:01,053 --> 00:45:04,533 Speaker 2: They have the in white. Catto got this thing here 889 00:45:04,573 --> 00:45:07,053 Speaker 2: that if they do have. In New Zealand, we have 890 00:45:07,253 --> 00:45:11,213 Speaker 2: a row operating doing surgery, but they are, as we said, 891 00:45:11,333 --> 00:45:15,692 Speaker 2: controlled by a human, which is a huge difference because 892 00:45:15,693 --> 00:45:16,773 Speaker 2: it's basically a tool. 893 00:45:17,053 --> 00:45:19,053 Speaker 3: Yeah. The other element here is we all know the 894 00:45:19,333 --> 00:45:22,493 Speaker 3: pressure on our health system at the moment, and there's 895 00:45:22,533 --> 00:45:24,573 Speaker 3: no doubt about it. When you bring in the likes 896 00:45:24,613 --> 00:45:26,732 Speaker 3: of AI and as you say, in five years time, 897 00:45:27,013 --> 00:45:30,013 Speaker 3: it's likely that AI robots will be better than the 898 00:45:30,053 --> 00:45:32,533 Speaker 3: best surgeons in the world. That will speed things up 899 00:45:32,733 --> 00:45:35,652 Speaker 3: considerably in our health system. I mean, is it too 900 00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:38,133 Speaker 3: much of a stretch to say that may fix it 901 00:45:38,213 --> 00:45:40,213 Speaker 3: all the problems that we've seen in our health system 902 00:45:40,253 --> 00:45:42,293 Speaker 3: at the moment to be able to bring this technology 903 00:45:42,333 --> 00:45:48,493 Speaker 3: in to take the pressure off needing actual human doctors there, Yeah, 904 00:45:48,573 --> 00:45:51,493 Speaker 3: to get more people through surgery, to make people healthier faster. 905 00:45:51,973 --> 00:45:54,013 Speaker 2: Yeah. And another part of it. I was talking to 906 00:45:54,053 --> 00:45:55,853 Speaker 2: a young man who's becoming a doctor at the moment 907 00:45:55,893 --> 00:45:57,813 Speaker 2: and is not interested in becoming a GP in a 908 00:45:57,853 --> 00:45:59,933 Speaker 2: small town because I said to him, you know GP 909 00:46:00,013 --> 00:46:02,173 Speaker 2: and has small time town. Isn't that the dream? And 910 00:46:02,213 --> 00:46:04,373 Speaker 2: he goes, no, I want to become a cosmetic surgeon yep, 911 00:46:04,733 --> 00:46:08,173 Speaker 2: because there's more money in it. So potentially the upside 912 00:46:08,173 --> 00:46:10,933 Speaker 2: of this would be that the surgery, which is repetitive, 913 00:46:10,933 --> 00:46:13,333 Speaker 2: and you want a surgeon that has done the procedure 914 00:46:13,373 --> 00:46:15,652 Speaker 2: a million times and so they know how to do it. 915 00:46:15,693 --> 00:46:20,333 Speaker 2: But if that's replaced by a robot, then perhaps the 916 00:46:20,373 --> 00:46:23,333 Speaker 2: doctors that we train will become the gps, which are 917 00:46:23,413 --> 00:46:26,973 Speaker 2: what we need, that face to face, friendly neighborhood GP 918 00:46:27,133 --> 00:46:30,493 Speaker 2: that helps you in a number of ways across your life. 919 00:46:31,133 --> 00:46:33,093 Speaker 2: And as opposed to going straight for the big money 920 00:46:33,773 --> 00:46:35,693 Speaker 2: in surgery which has been replaced by robots. 921 00:46:35,733 --> 00:46:38,013 Speaker 3: Oh eight, one hundred eighty ten eighty. How do you 922 00:46:38,013 --> 00:46:41,813 Speaker 3: feel about AI technology in medicine and health? As we mentioned, 923 00:46:42,293 --> 00:46:45,133 Speaker 3: AI is coming to the fore when it comes to therapy, 924 00:46:45,293 --> 00:46:48,813 Speaker 3: and that technology is fast approaching the likes of surgery 925 00:46:48,893 --> 00:46:50,933 Speaker 3: in our hospital. Is really gain to chat with you 926 00:46:50,973 --> 00:46:51,413 Speaker 3: on this one? 927 00:46:51,493 --> 00:46:53,213 Speaker 2: And if you're a surgeon, what do you think about this? 928 00:46:53,333 --> 00:46:55,533 Speaker 2: Do you think that this is even practical? Because someone's 929 00:46:55,533 --> 00:46:58,893 Speaker 2: just written a report saying that these complex surgeries could 930 00:46:58,893 --> 00:47:01,213 Speaker 2: be replaced by robots within the next five years and 931 00:47:01,253 --> 00:47:03,252 Speaker 2: they'd be more competent humans. Do you believe this is true? 932 00:47:03,373 --> 00:47:06,453 Speaker 2: Is this not true? Also, have you used therapy? Have 933 00:47:06,533 --> 00:47:10,253 Speaker 2: you used AI therapy and has that? Has that worked 934 00:47:10,253 --> 00:47:12,093 Speaker 2: for you? I've just done some AI therapy that I 935 00:47:12,173 --> 00:47:15,893 Speaker 2: might share with you next okay, and then but the 936 00:47:15,933 --> 00:47:19,813 Speaker 2: wider issue is would you you know robotaxis? Would you 937 00:47:19,853 --> 00:47:21,973 Speaker 2: be comfortable with the ROBOTAXI just taking your kids to 938 00:47:21,973 --> 00:47:24,253 Speaker 2: school without you in it? Would you be comfortable with 939 00:47:24,333 --> 00:47:30,173 Speaker 2: the complete end end AI robotic pilot? Yeah, that sits 940 00:47:30,253 --> 00:47:34,613 Speaker 2: up in the front like an airplane, an inflatable pilot, 941 00:47:34,613 --> 00:47:36,013 Speaker 2: the complete One oh. 942 00:47:35,893 --> 00:47:38,053 Speaker 3: Eight one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to 943 00:47:38,053 --> 00:47:39,853 Speaker 3: call Love to hear your thoughts on this one. It 944 00:47:39,973 --> 00:47:41,893 Speaker 3: is fourteen past two. 945 00:47:42,853 --> 00:47:47,413 Speaker 1: Wow your home of afternoon Talk, Mad Heathen Taylor Adams 946 00:47:47,453 --> 00:47:50,933 Speaker 1: afternoons call eight hundred eighty ten eighty Youth Talk. 947 00:47:51,053 --> 00:47:55,773 Speaker 3: ZI. Be very good afternoon to you seventeen past two 948 00:47:55,773 --> 00:47:58,773 Speaker 3: when we're talking about the rise of AI technology in 949 00:47:58,853 --> 00:48:03,573 Speaker 3: fields that may make some of us feel a bit uncomfortable, therapy, surgery, 950 00:48:03,653 --> 00:48:05,453 Speaker 3: this therapy side of things was on the back of 951 00:48:05,493 --> 00:48:09,733 Speaker 3: a podcast that clinical psychology Jackie Maguire was part of. 952 00:48:09,773 --> 00:48:12,813 Speaker 3: It's called The Little Things, But she talked about AI 953 00:48:13,133 --> 00:48:16,573 Speaker 3: therapy that you can now subscribe to for ten bucks 954 00:48:16,573 --> 00:48:20,813 Speaker 3: a month that she said was pretty good. I quote, 955 00:48:20,813 --> 00:48:23,133 Speaker 3: I don't think you should be using AI if you've 956 00:48:23,133 --> 00:48:25,493 Speaker 3: got really complex stuff going on in your life. But 957 00:48:25,573 --> 00:48:27,773 Speaker 3: if you are like, how do I navigate this tricky 958 00:48:27,773 --> 00:48:30,173 Speaker 3: conversation with a colleague? It was amazing. I was blown 959 00:48:30,213 --> 00:48:32,213 Speaker 3: away and I thought for ten bucks a month, that 960 00:48:32,373 --> 00:48:32,973 Speaker 3: was pretty good. 961 00:48:33,213 --> 00:48:36,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just talking to someone. But what about the 962 00:48:36,493 --> 00:48:40,253 Speaker 2: robot doing surgery to you? If the robot gets harder surgeries, 963 00:48:40,253 --> 00:48:43,893 Speaker 2: it may appear to have poor statistics. There's an interesting point. Actually, yeah, 964 00:48:43,973 --> 00:48:46,253 Speaker 2: give the robot or the hard ones. Yeah, but what 965 00:48:46,293 --> 00:48:50,292 Speaker 2: if Russian computer hacker transplants one of your hands onto 966 00:48:50,293 --> 00:48:50,893 Speaker 2: your forehead? 967 00:48:50,933 --> 00:48:51,813 Speaker 3: There's always that risk. 968 00:48:51,853 --> 00:48:56,373 Speaker 2: Now that there's a high risk, how would a robot 969 00:48:56,493 --> 00:48:58,613 Speaker 2: know if the patient started to bleed? Well, I mean 970 00:48:58,613 --> 00:49:00,853 Speaker 2: that's something that they would be sorting. 971 00:49:00,573 --> 00:49:03,172 Speaker 3: Out programmed as part of AI. 972 00:49:03,533 --> 00:49:07,093 Speaker 2: It's sensors and you know AI is getting pretty good 973 00:49:07,093 --> 00:49:09,733 Speaker 2: at detecting pictures, what's in picture and stuff. Yeah, so 974 00:49:09,933 --> 00:49:12,413 Speaker 2: I mean that would be something that they would need 975 00:49:12,453 --> 00:49:17,013 Speaker 2: to solve. Rob Welcome to show your thoughts on areas 976 00:49:17,053 --> 00:49:19,333 Speaker 2: of the world that AI is about to take over. 977 00:49:21,093 --> 00:49:24,053 Speaker 19: Hey, welcome guys, Thanks for the opportunity to chat to you. 978 00:49:24,213 --> 00:49:29,093 Speaker 19: I was just thinking that if you look at the industry, 979 00:49:29,213 --> 00:49:32,133 Speaker 19: for example, a lot of the procedures are pretty standard. 980 00:49:32,573 --> 00:49:35,333 Speaker 19: You know, identify that you've got a cavity, maybe do 981 00:49:35,413 --> 00:49:38,253 Speaker 19: a filling and stuff like that. And with the current 982 00:49:38,293 --> 00:49:41,733 Speaker 19: price of the industry land, it's truly unaffordable for a 983 00:49:41,813 --> 00:49:45,973 Speaker 19: huge proportion of the population. People just simply don't do it. 984 00:49:46,693 --> 00:49:49,893 Speaker 19: I'm from the South Island and let's not even talk 985 00:49:49,933 --> 00:49:55,813 Speaker 19: about the condition of people's teeth down here. Why would 986 00:49:55,853 --> 00:49:59,893 Speaker 19: we not want to take advantage of something for normal 987 00:49:59,933 --> 00:50:02,493 Speaker 19: procedures obviously, you know, if you've got a massive root 988 00:50:02,493 --> 00:50:06,333 Speaker 19: canal or something like that, maybe you need expertise. But 989 00:50:06,733 --> 00:50:11,333 Speaker 19: I think it would be a for a dentist or 990 00:50:11,373 --> 00:50:14,533 Speaker 19: even basic surgery to be conducted by a robot. 991 00:50:14,933 --> 00:50:18,172 Speaker 2: And there's definitely a problem with how much dental procedures cost. Yeah, 992 00:50:18,533 --> 00:50:21,413 Speaker 2: it is phenomenal, So I imagine that being a more 993 00:50:21,453 --> 00:50:25,652 Speaker 2: isolated situation than say, heart surgery. So you know, when 994 00:50:25,653 --> 00:50:27,573 Speaker 2: you go to the dentist, you can't talk to them 995 00:50:27,573 --> 00:50:30,172 Speaker 2: because you got your mouth open anyway, So that you know, 996 00:50:30,293 --> 00:50:34,653 Speaker 2: the bedside manner isn't generally is important. Lock someone's face 997 00:50:35,173 --> 00:50:39,533 Speaker 2: in place, the computer scans which molar it needs to remove, 998 00:50:39,573 --> 00:50:41,933 Speaker 2: bang whips it out. Yeah, five bucks on. 999 00:50:41,853 --> 00:50:45,013 Speaker 3: Your way for five bucks yeah, I'd say yes to that. 1000 00:50:45,253 --> 00:50:49,692 Speaker 2: Yeah, but how would you think you'd be comfortable Rob 1001 00:50:49,853 --> 00:50:53,853 Speaker 2: going to a dentist and we're not talking controlled by 1002 00:50:54,133 --> 00:50:59,133 Speaker 2: a dentist. We're talking completely and utterly autonomous. So as 1003 00:50:59,133 --> 00:51:02,533 Speaker 2: a robot scanning your face that's going in there and 1004 00:51:02,533 --> 00:51:04,493 Speaker 2: doing the surgery, do you think you would be confident 1005 00:51:04,733 --> 00:51:05,573 Speaker 2: to allow that to happen? 1006 00:51:05,653 --> 00:51:05,853 Speaker 6: Rob? 1007 00:51:06,733 --> 00:51:08,813 Speaker 19: Yeah, I think that would actually prefer that. You know, 1008 00:51:09,093 --> 00:51:12,533 Speaker 19: I have a bit of issues with the personal space 1009 00:51:13,613 --> 00:51:18,213 Speaker 19: thing where I've got some guy who's sticking his nose 1010 00:51:18,613 --> 00:51:22,573 Speaker 19: too millimeters from me and gaping into my mouth that 1011 00:51:22,973 --> 00:51:26,212 Speaker 19: is perhaps not in a condition that I'm super proud 1012 00:51:26,293 --> 00:51:28,652 Speaker 19: of in the first place. Ye give it to the 1013 00:51:28,653 --> 00:51:29,212 Speaker 19: machine there. 1014 00:51:29,333 --> 00:51:31,172 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, thank you so much for you call, Rob, 1015 00:51:31,853 --> 00:51:34,533 Speaker 2: And yeah, and the thing that you could program into 1016 00:51:34,573 --> 00:51:36,733 Speaker 2: the AI robot and make it not ask you questions 1017 00:51:36,773 --> 00:51:38,813 Speaker 2: when you can't answer them. Yeah, So when you've got 1018 00:51:38,853 --> 00:51:41,732 Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff in your mouth and your mouth 1019 00:51:41,773 --> 00:51:45,053 Speaker 2: open and they ask you how was your holiday, or 1020 00:51:45,093 --> 00:51:47,253 Speaker 2: maybe you could understand you know, it could be developed 1021 00:51:47,253 --> 00:51:48,453 Speaker 2: to be able to understand your answer. 1022 00:51:48,533 --> 00:51:51,053 Speaker 3: But generally most of us, hopefully, when we go to 1023 00:51:51,093 --> 00:51:53,173 Speaker 3: the dentist, you just get the old clean and a 1024 00:51:53,213 --> 00:51:55,373 Speaker 3: bit of an examination. Right, do you need any feelings? 1025 00:51:55,373 --> 00:51:57,733 Speaker 3: That's an easy thing for an AI robot to do, right, 1026 00:51:57,773 --> 00:52:00,013 Speaker 3: We're not talking any sort of surgery. Well, they just 1027 00:52:00,093 --> 00:52:02,732 Speaker 3: take away picture there. Have we look in there as well? 1028 00:52:02,813 --> 00:52:05,053 Speaker 3: I think I don't know if this technology exists, but 1029 00:52:05,253 --> 00:52:07,692 Speaker 3: they would do the cleaning, yeah, and then even take 1030 00:52:07,693 --> 00:52:09,093 Speaker 3: a picture and say no more fillings. 1031 00:52:09,093 --> 00:52:11,093 Speaker 2: Well, when my kids we were getting their braces, put 1032 00:52:11,133 --> 00:52:14,653 Speaker 2: in that they take a full three D model with 1033 00:52:15,013 --> 00:52:18,933 Speaker 2: cameras with exact proportions of the face of the teeth 1034 00:52:19,053 --> 00:52:23,933 Speaker 2: and for creating those in visiline. You know the type 1035 00:52:23,933 --> 00:52:25,893 Speaker 2: of braces you have where they three D print them 1036 00:52:25,893 --> 00:52:28,772 Speaker 2: out or whatever, and then you know they change them regularly. Yes, 1037 00:52:28,853 --> 00:52:32,013 Speaker 2: so they already have the technicality technology to completely and 1038 00:52:32,093 --> 00:52:35,093 Speaker 2: utterly three D scan your mouth, you know, without taking 1039 00:52:35,173 --> 00:52:38,333 Speaker 2: a mold. So by a boy, I don't know, as 1040 00:52:38,333 --> 00:52:39,653 Speaker 2: long as I mean, you don't want to be waving 1041 00:52:39,653 --> 00:52:41,533 Speaker 2: your face around when they're doing it, so maybe lock 1042 00:52:41,573 --> 00:52:44,773 Speaker 2: it into place. But then again, you know eye surgeries, 1043 00:52:45,093 --> 00:52:47,172 Speaker 2: you know, they don't seem to rip people's retinas out 1044 00:52:47,253 --> 00:52:47,653 Speaker 2: very often. 1045 00:52:47,773 --> 00:52:50,173 Speaker 3: No, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 1046 00:52:50,173 --> 00:52:53,652 Speaker 3: to call. How would you feel about AI being utilized 1047 00:52:53,693 --> 00:52:58,053 Speaker 3: for surgeries and other medical procedures. It's starting to happen, 1048 00:52:58,173 --> 00:53:01,933 Speaker 3: and when it comes to therapy, there is services available 1049 00:53:01,973 --> 00:53:05,533 Speaker 3: for ten bucks a month. It's effectively like chat GPT. 1050 00:53:05,933 --> 00:53:09,813 Speaker 3: But according to clinical psychologist Checki McGuire, she utilized it 1051 00:53:09,973 --> 00:53:11,093 Speaker 3: and it was pretty good. 1052 00:53:11,333 --> 00:53:16,333 Speaker 2: Yeah. What about just in everyday life robotaxis? Get up 1053 00:53:16,373 --> 00:53:18,173 Speaker 2: in the morning instead of driving your kids to school, 1054 00:53:18,213 --> 00:53:21,373 Speaker 2: you have them in an autonomous car and that is very, 1055 00:53:22,293 --> 00:53:24,653 Speaker 2: very possible. 1056 00:53:24,733 --> 00:53:24,973 Speaker 3: IA. 1057 00:53:25,253 --> 00:53:27,973 Speaker 2: There's autonomous taxis working in the United States at the moment, 1058 00:53:28,573 --> 00:53:30,093 Speaker 2: so that is that is something and they're not too 1059 00:53:30,133 --> 00:53:35,373 Speaker 2: different future. The autopilot on Tesla's is phenomenal, especially this 1060 00:53:35,493 --> 00:53:37,973 Speaker 2: this new upgrade that's just come in. So would you 1061 00:53:38,053 --> 00:53:40,293 Speaker 2: have your you're looking after your grandkids and you have 1062 00:53:40,373 --> 00:53:42,453 Speaker 2: them in the car to take them to school, or 1063 00:53:42,933 --> 00:53:46,413 Speaker 2: you know, your kids are visiting some of their cousins, 1064 00:53:46,493 --> 00:53:48,773 Speaker 2: just have them in an autonomous taxi and send them off. 1065 00:53:48,773 --> 00:53:50,973 Speaker 2: Would you would you trust AI to do that? 1066 00:53:51,213 --> 00:53:52,213 Speaker 3: How would you feel about that? 1067 00:53:54,933 --> 00:53:55,172 Speaker 20: Bad? 1068 00:53:55,613 --> 00:53:55,733 Speaker 14: Oh? 1069 00:53:55,893 --> 00:53:57,493 Speaker 3: One hundred eighty ten eighties the number. 1070 00:53:57,293 --> 00:54:05,652 Speaker 1: To coo Matt Heathan Tyler Adams afternoons call Oh eight 1071 00:54:05,693 --> 00:54:07,933 Speaker 1: hundred eighty eighty on news Talk ZB. 1072 00:54:08,333 --> 00:54:10,053 Speaker 3: You're a good afternoon to you, twenty five past two, 1073 00:54:10,053 --> 00:54:12,652 Speaker 3: and we're talking about the rise of AI technology in 1074 00:54:12,693 --> 00:54:16,133 Speaker 3: a myriad of industries that may make some of us uncomfortable. 1075 00:54:16,213 --> 00:54:18,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, what would you trust AI to do to you? 1076 00:54:18,853 --> 00:54:24,093 Speaker 2: Or would you or do to you? Or trusting AI 1077 00:54:24,213 --> 00:54:26,133 Speaker 2: driving you around? Melissa? Your thoughts on this? 1078 00:54:27,013 --> 00:54:31,013 Speaker 21: Hi, guys, Yeah, like my parents they're getting a bet 1079 00:54:31,053 --> 00:54:33,213 Speaker 21: on it sort of thing. So I fairly even trust 1080 00:54:33,493 --> 00:54:37,373 Speaker 21: my parents driving my own cats, right, So when and 1081 00:54:37,573 --> 00:54:40,853 Speaker 21: at what point would I start trusting machine to start 1082 00:54:40,933 --> 00:54:42,133 Speaker 21: driving by around? 1083 00:54:42,773 --> 00:54:43,813 Speaker 18: But you know it's. 1084 00:54:43,653 --> 00:54:47,413 Speaker 21: Like like even with thunderstorms and stuff, well you needed 1085 00:54:47,493 --> 00:54:50,773 Speaker 21: a bit of atmospheric interference or something and then your 1086 00:54:50,773 --> 00:54:53,213 Speaker 21: TP goes out. So how do you know that a 1087 00:54:53,333 --> 00:54:56,213 Speaker 21: car driving you know, automated cars are not going to 1088 00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:58,253 Speaker 21: cut out when you're in your kids are in the backseat. 1089 00:54:58,453 --> 00:54:59,053 Speaker 21: That's sort of thing. 1090 00:54:59,773 --> 00:55:02,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be interested. I'm not sure exactly how it works, 1091 00:55:02,773 --> 00:55:04,573 Speaker 2: and I've seen a lot of footage on it, but 1092 00:55:04,573 --> 00:55:06,933 Speaker 2: I'm not sure whether it loads down it's map beforehand 1093 00:55:07,013 --> 00:55:10,053 Speaker 2: and then it's an analysis of what's going on around. 1094 00:55:10,093 --> 00:55:12,293 Speaker 2: It is within the car. So as long as the 1095 00:55:12,293 --> 00:55:15,093 Speaker 2: batteries charged, then it's got the swinging cameras and it's 1096 00:55:15,333 --> 00:55:17,613 Speaker 2: making all those decisions. But what would it take for 1097 00:55:17,693 --> 00:55:23,213 Speaker 2: you to trust an AI driver with your kids if 1098 00:55:23,253 --> 00:55:25,413 Speaker 2: the percent if the percent came back and they were 1099 00:55:25,733 --> 00:55:28,172 Speaker 2: because you bring up a reasonable point, you could have 1100 00:55:28,773 --> 00:55:31,133 Speaker 2: an eighty five year old and no offense to eighty 1101 00:55:31,133 --> 00:55:32,733 Speaker 2: five year olds. I mean a lot of them are 1102 00:55:32,733 --> 00:55:36,253 Speaker 2: better drivers than twenty five year old. Yes, but you 1103 00:55:36,253 --> 00:55:39,053 Speaker 2: could have someone with their driver's license who isn't a 1104 00:55:39,093 --> 00:55:42,013 Speaker 2: great driver, and you're right, you trust your kids with 1105 00:55:42,013 --> 00:55:44,613 Speaker 2: that person. If the percentage the percentages came back and 1106 00:55:44,653 --> 00:55:48,133 Speaker 2: AI was, let's say, one hundred percent or ninety nine 1107 00:55:48,173 --> 00:55:52,973 Speaker 2: point nine percent safe, would you then, because. 1108 00:55:52,693 --> 00:55:56,253 Speaker 21: No human is, no, no exactly, but nothing's one hundred percent. 1109 00:55:56,333 --> 00:55:58,253 Speaker 21: I mean, like just drive home right now. Like I 1110 00:55:58,293 --> 00:56:00,773 Speaker 21: had to swerve over to pull over so that the 1111 00:56:00,773 --> 00:56:02,893 Speaker 21: bus could come out because it was more of a 1112 00:56:02,933 --> 00:56:06,652 Speaker 21: skinny rope. So like you know those micro decisions that 1113 00:56:06,693 --> 00:56:10,133 Speaker 21: you make as a driver just to keep yourself safe, 1114 00:56:10,413 --> 00:56:12,893 Speaker 21: you know, like can I actually ever do that? 1115 00:56:13,053 --> 00:56:13,732 Speaker 6: So yeah? 1116 00:56:13,813 --> 00:56:13,973 Speaker 22: Yeah? 1117 00:56:14,253 --> 00:56:16,893 Speaker 21: And then putting by kids in the car, Yeah, so 1118 00:56:16,973 --> 00:56:17,493 Speaker 21: I don't. 1119 00:56:17,333 --> 00:56:20,173 Speaker 3: Know, would you do it yourself, Melissa. 1120 00:56:21,293 --> 00:56:22,893 Speaker 18: No, No, like drive. 1121 00:56:23,773 --> 00:56:25,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just say that is I mean, when I 1122 00:56:25,893 --> 00:56:29,093 Speaker 3: think about this sort of technology, I might do it 1123 00:56:29,133 --> 00:56:31,893 Speaker 3: for myself, but I'd never trust it with anyone else 1124 00:56:31,933 --> 00:56:33,893 Speaker 3: I love. And I think that says, you know a 1125 00:56:33,893 --> 00:56:36,053 Speaker 3: lot about the argument here that I'm willing to take 1126 00:56:36,053 --> 00:56:38,853 Speaker 3: a punt for myself, but it's still a punt. I 1127 00:56:38,853 --> 00:56:42,013 Speaker 3: still see it as a punt, even though the percentage 1128 00:56:42,013 --> 00:56:44,573 Speaker 3: would probably come back and say it's fast, safer than 1129 00:56:44,653 --> 00:56:46,533 Speaker 3: humans doing any of these things. 1130 00:56:46,973 --> 00:56:51,533 Speaker 21: Yeah, well it's I haven't seensed that, so you know, 1131 00:56:51,893 --> 00:56:52,653 Speaker 21: until it's proven. 1132 00:56:52,853 --> 00:56:58,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, you go.

I mean, 1164 00:58:04,373 --> 00:58:07,013 Speaker 2: humans aren't hugely trust where they are there in a 1165 00:58:07,133 --> 00:58:07,813 Speaker 2: number of ways. 1166 00:58:08,333 --> 00:58:11,293 Speaker 3: Also mentioned you know some of the older people in 1167 00:58:12,133 --> 00:58:14,493 Speaker 3: New Zealand and around the world, and as you mentioned, 1168 00:58:14,493 --> 00:58:16,333 Speaker 3: a lot of them are better drivers than young drivers. 1169 00:58:16,493 --> 00:58:18,893 Speaker 3: But a lot of them are not able to drive anymore, 1170 00:58:18,933 --> 00:58:21,813 Speaker 3: and this gives them back independence. If there is this technology, 1171 00:58:21,973 --> 00:58:24,413 Speaker 3: it's been utilized in America just for that, to give 1172 00:58:24,453 --> 00:58:27,133 Speaker 3: people who cannot drive any more independence again that they 1173 00:58:27,133 --> 00:58:28,253 Speaker 3: can get to where they need to go. 1174 00:58:28,493 --> 00:58:31,013 Speaker 2: Well, I've been in consitions before when i haven't been 1175 00:58:31,013 --> 00:58:34,013 Speaker 2: able to drive anymore after a night at the pub. 1176 00:58:34,533 --> 00:58:37,613 Speaker 2: How soon would it be that legally they would go? Well, 1177 00:58:37,613 --> 00:58:39,733 Speaker 2: this is you know, if you can put children in 1178 00:58:39,373 --> 00:58:44,213 Speaker 2: this car, if you can put you know, influids, and well, 1179 00:58:44,293 --> 00:58:48,533 Speaker 2: why not someone that's impaired, alcoholically impaired, absolutely driverless car, 1180 00:58:48,613 --> 00:58:49,093 Speaker 2: take them home. 1181 00:58:49,173 --> 00:58:51,533 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 1182 00:58:51,533 --> 00:58:54,253 Speaker 3: to call. It is bang on two thirty back. 1183 00:58:54,373 --> 00:59:00,253 Speaker 1: Very surely, Hu's talks'd be headlines. 1184 00:58:59,773 --> 00:59:03,213 Speaker 14: With blue bubble taxis. It's no trouble with a blue bubble. 1185 00:59:03,813 --> 00:59:07,013 Speaker 14: Ninety kilos of meth worth up to thirty four million 1186 00:59:07,093 --> 00:59:09,973 Speaker 14: dollars has been set east in less than twelve hours 1187 00:59:10,133 --> 00:59:13,613 Speaker 14: at Auckland Airport over the weekend in abandoned bags from 1188 00:59:13,613 --> 00:59:18,173 Speaker 14: Malaysia and Ala. Health New Zealand says it's acting urgently 1189 00:59:18,213 --> 00:59:21,573 Speaker 14: to apply for facilitation to help resolve a pay issue 1190 00:59:21,573 --> 00:59:25,813 Speaker 14: with senior doctors who plan to strike on Thursday, hopes 1191 00:59:25,853 --> 00:59:29,813 Speaker 14: the government's decision to cover teacher registration fees will keep 1192 00:59:29,853 --> 00:59:34,093 Speaker 14: them from leaving the profession. A coroner's heard police warned 1193 00:59:34,093 --> 00:59:37,173 Speaker 14: a woman who'd been spending time with a paroled rapist 1194 00:59:37,453 --> 00:59:42,213 Speaker 14: about his history, but his neighbor, Juliana Herrera, wasn't given 1195 00:59:42,293 --> 00:59:47,133 Speaker 14: any information and was murdered. Women's Refuge is getting funding 1196 00:59:47,213 --> 00:59:50,573 Speaker 14: for giving staff more training on mental health and addiction. 1197 00:59:51,533 --> 00:59:55,173 Speaker 14: Auckland Council and Water Care are acknowledging the significant impact 1198 00:59:55,253 --> 00:59:58,933 Speaker 14: of works off the CBD's Queen Street with hoardings and 1199 00:59:58,973 --> 01:00:03,533 Speaker 14: fencing at Victoria and Wellesley Street around wastewater upgrades and 1200 01:00:03,773 --> 01:00:07,693 Speaker 14: work on the city rail Link.

Back to matt Ethan Tyna Adams. 1203 01:00:15,573 --> 01:00:17,453 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Ray Lean, And we're talking about 1204 01:00:17,453 --> 01:00:21,373 Speaker 3: AI technology being utilized in industries that might make some 1205 01:00:21,413 --> 01:00:27,133 Speaker 3: of us uncomfortable medicine, surgery and therapy, among many others, 1206 01:00:27,133 --> 01:00:29,173 Speaker 3: including the transport industry. 1207 01:00:29,413 --> 01:00:34,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this medtronic Hugo Robert was tested one hundred 1208 01:00:34,133 --> 01:00:37,373 Speaker 2: and thirty seven real surgeries involving prostates, kidneys, and bladders 1209 01:00:37,813 --> 01:00:40,853 Speaker 2: complication rates this is this year. We're impressively low three 1210 01:00:40,853 --> 01:00:45,093 Speaker 2: point seven percent comm three point seven percent complication rate 1211 01:00:45,133 --> 01:00:48,373 Speaker 2: for prostate, one point nine for kidney, and seventeen point 1212 01:00:48,493 --> 01:00:51,013 Speaker 2: nine for bladder surgeries. That doesn't sound great. Seventeen point 1213 01:00:51,093 --> 01:00:55,893 Speaker 2: nine complication rate for bladder surgeries with this medtronic robot. Yeah, 1214 01:00:55,933 --> 01:00:57,933 Speaker 2: i'd want it better to be that. I wanted a 1215 01:00:57,933 --> 01:01:01,333 Speaker 2: lot better than what was the three point seven for prostates. 1216 01:01:01,333 --> 01:01:02,493 Speaker 2: Good at prostate, so I can. 1217 01:01:02,373 --> 01:01:04,333 Speaker 3: Figure out prostate, it's the bladder a little bit. 1218 01:01:04,453 --> 01:01:07,493 Speaker 2: I'd actually have to know the complication rate on you know, 1219 01:01:07,853 --> 01:01:11,533 Speaker 2: actual human surgery. Hugo achieved a ninety eight point five 1220 01:01:11,573 --> 01:01:14,333 Speaker 2: percent success rate, far exceeding the eighty five percent target. 1221 01:01:14,693 --> 01:01:17,373 Speaker 2: So yeah, they believe within a couple of years they'll 1222 01:01:17,853 --> 01:01:20,413 Speaker 2: be as good as human surgeons, and within five years 1223 01:01:20,453 --> 01:01:23,533 Speaker 2: better than the best human surgeons. Yeah, that's interesting. Hey, 1224 01:01:23,933 --> 01:01:28,373 Speaker 2: speaking of AI and online therapy, I've done a little 1225 01:01:28,373 --> 01:01:31,053 Speaker 2: bit of therapy here. Okay, right, gone to one YEP, 1226 01:01:31,893 --> 01:01:36,013 Speaker 2: so I entered, I am sad, it responded, I'm really 1227 01:01:36,013 --> 01:01:38,173 Speaker 2: sorry to hear that. You're feeling, said, can you tell 1228 01:01:38,213 --> 01:01:40,733 Speaker 2: me more about what's contributing to those feelings right now? 1229 01:01:41,493 --> 01:01:43,173 Speaker 2: I said, I have a useless co host on my 1230 01:01:43,293 --> 01:01:46,933 Speaker 2: radio show. That sounds really frustrating. It can be tough 1231 01:01:46,973 --> 01:01:49,093 Speaker 2: to it with someone who isn't contributing as you would hope, 1232 01:01:49,173 --> 01:01:51,533 Speaker 2: especially in a collaborative environment like a radio show. What 1233 01:01:51,613 --> 01:01:54,653 Speaker 2: specifically is making you feel that way about your co host? 1234 01:01:55,733 --> 01:01:58,293 Speaker 2: I answered? What should I do to him? It sounds 1235 01:01:58,373 --> 01:02:00,653 Speaker 2: like you're feeling quite overwhelmed by the situation with your 1236 01:02:00,693 --> 01:02:03,013 Speaker 2: co host. Before we think about actions to take, can 1237 01:02:03,053 --> 01:02:05,733 Speaker 2: we share more about his behavior and how it is 1238 01:02:05,773 --> 01:02:09,733 Speaker 2: affecting you? I responded, personal hygiene as problem sometimes gets 1239 01:02:09,773 --> 01:02:12,133 Speaker 2: my coffee order wrong, and the end before it answer, 1240 01:02:12,133 --> 01:02:14,853 Speaker 2: I had to chart. I had to start a paid subscription. 1241 01:02:14,933 --> 01:02:16,613 Speaker 2: That was all the free questions I got. 1242 01:02:17,053 --> 01:02:18,373 Speaker 3: And what did it say to that? I didn't give 1243 01:02:18,373 --> 01:02:18,973 Speaker 3: an answer. 1244 01:02:18,733 --> 01:02:19,933 Speaker 2: To that, lt I'm going to have to pay nine 1245 01:02:19,973 --> 01:02:21,493 Speaker 2: to ninety five a month to get the answer to that. 1246 01:02:21,533 --> 01:02:23,413 Speaker 3: Well, cough up. It's about time you start coughing up 1247 01:02:23,413 --> 01:02:24,693 Speaker 3: for good technology around here, man. 1248 01:02:24,813 --> 01:02:26,413 Speaker 2: But diplomatic, you've got to say that. 1249 01:02:27,053 --> 01:02:29,373 Speaker 3: I think we could use that every day on the show. 1250 01:02:29,253 --> 01:02:31,653 Speaker 2: This Texas said. I totally said to my son about 1251 01:02:31,933 --> 01:02:34,653 Speaker 2: ten years ago that the first profession to get replaced 1252 01:02:34,653 --> 01:02:36,813 Speaker 2: by AI will be doctors, no doubt about it, because 1253 01:02:36,853 --> 01:02:40,813 Speaker 2: they are already dependent on machines with the diagnosis diagnostic processes. 1254 01:02:40,853 --> 01:02:44,133 Speaker 2: The test that did indicates when and put all testing 1255 01:02:44,173 --> 01:02:46,813 Speaker 2: results of a patient. The computer gives far more accurate 1256 01:02:47,093 --> 01:02:52,853 Speaker 2: diagnosis conclusions and better treatments options. Yeah, but what about 1257 01:02:52,853 --> 01:02:56,293 Speaker 2: the actual cold, hard cutting surgery part of it. Yeah, 1258 01:02:56,773 --> 01:03:01,733 Speaker 2: cray your thoughts on AI involvement in human life. 1259 01:03:01,933 --> 01:03:04,013 Speaker 5: It's a funny one because I've got a little graindorter 1260 01:03:04,093 --> 01:03:09,093 Speaker 5: and she was born was major, major hard issues, you know, 1261 01:03:09,213 --> 01:03:14,173 Speaker 5: three months old. She's had twenty eight hours of overt surgery. Now, 1262 01:03:14,493 --> 01:03:18,413 Speaker 5: I sort of hope that one day there will be 1263 01:03:18,493 --> 01:03:22,493 Speaker 5: AI heart or the robot at heart, that she may 1264 01:03:22,533 --> 01:03:25,693 Speaker 5: be able to be as a top. But I do 1265 01:03:25,933 --> 01:03:28,413 Speaker 5: want a human to put it in it and club 1266 01:03:28,453 --> 01:03:28,773 Speaker 5: it up. 1267 01:03:29,973 --> 01:03:32,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, and why why do you? Why do you feel 1268 01:03:32,653 --> 01:03:34,133 Speaker 3: that way? Where because. 1269 01:03:35,853 --> 01:03:39,893 Speaker 5: These robots, I mean, humans can think outside the square 1270 01:03:40,013 --> 01:03:44,733 Speaker 5: when when things go wrong, robots have to have everything 1271 01:03:47,773 --> 01:03:52,373 Speaker 5: programmed into them, not every scenario. It's old. You know, 1272 01:03:52,493 --> 01:03:54,813 Speaker 5: different things happen all the time, and I'm the same 1273 01:03:54,853 --> 01:03:57,813 Speaker 5: as a pilot. You know, a human pilot can think 1274 01:03:57,853 --> 01:04:02,093 Speaker 5: outside the square of something's gone wrong. A robotic pilot 1275 01:04:02,613 --> 01:04:08,373 Speaker 5: or definitely have good program to do stuff, But I 1276 01:04:08,373 --> 01:04:13,133 Speaker 5: don't know how against every single problem that could arise. 1277 01:04:13,413 --> 01:04:15,533 Speaker 2: Well, I guess the argument now with AI, which is 1278 01:04:15,533 --> 01:04:17,333 Speaker 2: a bit different from having to be programmed, is that 1279 01:04:17,373 --> 01:04:21,853 Speaker 2: it can learn. It can be taught on everything that's 1280 01:04:21,893 --> 01:04:24,453 Speaker 2: ever happened in a plane ever. It can have that 1281 01:04:24,493 --> 01:04:29,413 Speaker 2: at its fingerptips and it can analyze that within fractions 1282 01:04:29,613 --> 01:04:33,173 Speaker 2: of a second. So having the complete knowledge of every 1283 01:04:33,213 --> 01:04:36,893 Speaker 2: single accident of all time, every plane incident that's ever 1284 01:04:37,453 --> 01:04:38,173 Speaker 2: ever happened. 1285 01:04:40,213 --> 01:04:44,733 Speaker 5: So it's so new, isn't it. You know, it's sort 1286 01:04:44,773 --> 01:04:49,013 Speaker 5: of overwhelming thinking wrote bonics taking your life on the head. 1287 01:04:49,053 --> 01:04:51,773 Speaker 5: I think some surgeries i'd be happy with, you know, 1288 01:04:51,813 --> 01:04:53,293 Speaker 5: if I had a bit of a melon over to 1289 01:04:53,413 --> 01:04:58,293 Speaker 5: be taken out of days. But then like open heart 1290 01:04:58,413 --> 01:05:02,013 Speaker 5: surgery and that kind of thing, I just rather have. 1291 01:05:02,053 --> 01:05:05,653 Speaker 2: A human Yeah, I think I think you're right right, 1292 01:05:06,133 --> 01:05:08,253 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Craig. I would I would rather 1293 01:05:08,373 --> 01:05:12,173 Speaker 2: that as well. But down the track, if it becomes 1294 01:05:12,213 --> 01:05:16,053 Speaker 2: clear that humans are making mistakes more often than robots. 1295 01:05:16,133 --> 01:05:19,773 Speaker 2: Then you know, you might end up having to make 1296 01:05:19,773 --> 01:05:22,933 Speaker 2: the decision with a you know, a young child. That'd 1297 01:05:22,973 --> 01:05:25,653 Speaker 2: be a tough decision to make. You're like, just across 1298 01:05:25,693 --> 01:05:29,253 Speaker 2: the board, this robot is in, This AI technology is 1299 01:05:31,333 --> 01:05:35,853 Speaker 2: three percent better than a human boy. I mean those 1300 01:05:35,933 --> 01:05:37,453 Speaker 2: decisions that people are going to have to make in 1301 01:05:37,493 --> 01:05:37,933 Speaker 2: the future. 1302 01:05:38,053 --> 01:05:40,613 Speaker 3: But the more even though I agree with both of you, 1303 01:05:40,693 --> 01:05:43,453 Speaker 3: I'd be very uncomfortable with a robot doing any sort 1304 01:05:43,493 --> 01:05:46,773 Speaker 3: of surgery on me. Does that not make more sense 1305 01:05:46,973 --> 01:05:51,533 Speaker 3: than something like a therapy bot, because therapy arguably is 1306 01:05:51,773 --> 01:05:56,533 Speaker 3: about empathy and critical thinking and like Craig says, thinking 1307 01:05:56,573 --> 01:06:01,293 Speaker 3: outside the box. Whereas surgery, if you're competent at at 1308 01:06:01,333 --> 01:06:04,333 Speaker 3: being a surgeon, yes you might have a good bedside manner, 1309 01:06:04,333 --> 01:06:07,053 Speaker 3: but when you're in that theater room, that is all 1310 01:06:07,133 --> 01:06:10,533 Speaker 3: then down to buy the numbers, right, Yeah, at that 1311 01:06:10,613 --> 01:06:12,893 Speaker 3: point there's not too much empathy that's in the mix. 1312 01:06:12,973 --> 01:06:15,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, like surgeons you want to have that that 1313 01:06:15,813 --> 01:06:17,693 Speaker 2: you want them behaving like a robot. You want a 1314 01:06:17,693 --> 01:06:21,013 Speaker 2: heart surgeon that's done at you know, four hundred operations 1315 01:06:21,093 --> 01:06:24,053 Speaker 2: rather than the one that's there. Hi guys, we were 1316 01:06:24,053 --> 01:06:26,013 Speaker 2: in Beverly Hills over Easter and there are plenty of 1317 01:06:26,653 --> 01:06:29,853 Speaker 2: driverless cars there and they just cut through the traffic. Amazing. 1318 01:06:29,893 --> 01:06:32,813 Speaker 2: Plus they have these small four wheel buggies like a 1319 01:06:32,933 --> 01:06:35,853 Speaker 2: chili bin on wheels driving around the footpaths doing driverless 1320 01:06:35,853 --> 01:06:38,933 Speaker 2: food deliveries. It's amazing. I saw those. I saw those 1321 01:06:38,973 --> 01:06:43,013 Speaker 2: waiting at the crossings to cross the road with their 1322 01:06:43,093 --> 01:06:44,333 Speaker 2: little noodles in them. 1323 01:06:44,933 --> 01:06:47,293 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1324 01:06:47,453 --> 01:06:49,893 Speaker 3: How do you feel about the rise of AI technology 1325 01:06:49,973 --> 01:06:53,453 Speaker 3: in industries like medicine, transport and other Really keen to 1326 01:06:53,493 --> 01:06:56,573 Speaker 3: get your thoughts. It is twenty two three. 1327 01:06:57,933 --> 01:07:01,133 Speaker 1: Matt Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on Oh, eight 1328 01:07:01,213 --> 01:07:04,893 Speaker 1: hundred eighty ten eighty. It's Mad Heathen Taylor Adams afternoons 1329 01:07:05,053 --> 01:07:05,573 Speaker 1: news talks. 1330 01:07:05,613 --> 01:07:08,613 Speaker 3: That be good afternoon to you. It is seventeen three 1331 01:07:08,653 --> 01:07:11,933 Speaker 3: and having a great discussion about AI use in industries 1332 01:07:12,013 --> 01:07:15,053 Speaker 3: like medicine, surgery, therapy, transports. 1333 01:07:15,573 --> 01:07:17,893 Speaker 2: Guys, humans could not figure out that the autopilot was 1334 01:07:17,893 --> 01:07:20,293 Speaker 2: engaged on the Navy vessel. Do you think that AI 1335 01:07:20,333 --> 01:07:22,613 Speaker 2: would have it a similar problem? I think definitely not. 1336 01:07:22,773 --> 01:07:23,493 Speaker 2: That's from George. 1337 01:07:23,533 --> 01:07:25,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, I could have saved US one hundred and eighty million. 1338 01:07:26,293 --> 01:07:29,893 Speaker 2: Brain surgery already done with by robots when putting chips 1339 01:07:29,933 --> 01:07:33,013 Speaker 2: into the brain because fibers are too fine and too 1340 01:07:33,053 --> 01:07:36,613 Speaker 2: many of them are one of Elon's businesses. Yeah, that's right, Neurolink. 1341 01:07:37,893 --> 01:07:41,053 Speaker 2: I was reading about Neurolink before actually, and they're doing 1342 01:07:41,093 --> 01:07:45,293 Speaker 2: all basically all there are implants using AI. 1343 01:07:45,813 --> 01:07:48,253 Speaker 3: Robots and too great success, I take it. 1344 01:07:48,613 --> 01:07:50,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, I think so well. 1345 01:07:50,773 --> 01:07:52,493 Speaker 3: As the Texas siege, you know, and it makes sense 1346 01:07:52,533 --> 01:07:56,693 Speaker 3: that if the fibers are too fine and too many 1347 01:07:56,733 --> 01:07:59,453 Speaker 3: of them for human hands, what other options do you have. 1348 01:08:00,213 --> 01:08:01,973 Speaker 3: I'm just having a look at I'm not that familiar 1349 01:08:01,973 --> 01:08:04,973 Speaker 3: with neurolink surgery. 1350 01:08:05,253 --> 01:08:05,453 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1351 01:08:05,533 --> 01:08:08,653 Speaker 2: So they're blasting, you know, blusting the little things rid 1352 01:08:08,693 --> 01:08:11,053 Speaker 2: into people's brains, right, yeah, amazing. 1353 01:08:11,173 --> 01:08:13,293 Speaker 3: Interesting. So anyone can sign up for that? Is that? 1354 01:08:13,493 --> 01:08:13,693 Speaker 4: No? 1355 01:08:13,973 --> 01:08:17,213 Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's mainly for people that 1356 01:08:17,733 --> 01:08:18,893 Speaker 2: have problems communicating. 1357 01:08:19,093 --> 01:08:19,372 Speaker 4: Ah. 1358 01:08:19,492 --> 01:08:21,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's ways to control, you. 1359 01:08:21,492 --> 01:08:22,853 Speaker 3: Know, fascinating technology. 1360 01:08:22,893 --> 01:08:27,852 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes, So Neurolink has used robots for brain computer 1361 01:08:28,253 --> 01:08:31,213 Speaker 2: electrode insertion, as it's impossible for a human to achieved 1362 01:08:31,213 --> 01:08:34,092 Speaker 2: a requires speed and precision, so it's already happening. 1363 01:08:34,213 --> 01:08:36,812 Speaker 3: Yeah, makes sense. One hundred eighty ten eighty is the 1364 01:08:36,893 --> 01:08:38,532 Speaker 3: number to call Blair. 1365 01:08:39,253 --> 01:08:41,372 Speaker 15: How are you good, guys? 1366 01:08:41,372 --> 01:08:42,213 Speaker 16: How are you doing good? 1367 01:08:42,213 --> 01:08:45,692 Speaker 3: How do you feel about AI and being involved in 1368 01:08:45,732 --> 01:08:47,013 Speaker 3: some of these industries? 1369 01:08:48,372 --> 01:08:51,052 Speaker 16: Yeah, I don't know. Has anyone seen I robot matrix? 1370 01:08:51,253 --> 01:08:56,052 Speaker 16: I mean, you know the jokes aside. You're talking about 1371 01:08:56,093 --> 01:09:00,093 Speaker 16: that eighty five percent target rate successful target rate for 1372 01:09:00,173 --> 01:09:05,492 Speaker 16: this test group. That's obviously on a select amount of people, 1373 01:09:05,572 --> 01:09:10,132 Speaker 16: So your failure rate in humans is probably relatively small. 1374 01:09:10,853 --> 01:09:13,053 Speaker 16: How many humans, though, are going to build up or 1375 01:09:13,093 --> 01:09:16,172 Speaker 16: make up that eighty five percent or the fifteen percent 1376 01:09:16,572 --> 01:09:20,012 Speaker 16: failure if they run with us in the future, it's 1377 01:09:20,053 --> 01:09:21,852 Speaker 16: going to you know, the amount of humans that are 1378 01:09:21,853 --> 01:09:25,772 Speaker 16: going to have potentially not a very good time because 1379 01:09:25,812 --> 01:09:30,372 Speaker 16: of a non success rate is slightly to be quite high. 1380 01:09:30,692 --> 01:09:34,013 Speaker 2: Yeah. So these robots got a ninety eight point five 1381 01:09:34,053 --> 01:09:38,572 Speaker 2: percent success rate and surgery, the completely autonomous ones, way 1382 01:09:38,572 --> 01:09:41,213 Speaker 2: above the eighty five percent goal. But this was just tests, 1383 01:09:41,253 --> 01:09:43,452 Speaker 2: so they think at ninety eight point five percent, it's 1384 01:09:43,492 --> 01:09:47,772 Speaker 2: not ready to be rolled out as you know, as 1385 01:09:47,973 --> 01:09:51,492 Speaker 2: a standard thing. This is just still in the trials 1386 01:09:51,572 --> 01:09:53,772 Speaker 2: at the moment. So ninety eight point five percent is 1387 01:09:53,812 --> 01:09:55,213 Speaker 2: not good enough for them at this point, but they 1388 01:09:55,253 --> 01:09:57,052 Speaker 2: thought at the stage they'd only be sitting at eighty 1389 01:09:57,053 --> 01:10:00,692 Speaker 2: five percent. But whatever that means. You know, one hundred 1390 01:10:00,692 --> 01:10:03,293 Speaker 2: and thirty seven surgeries, only two needed to switch back 1391 01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:06,652 Speaker 2: to regular surgery, one because of robot glitch and one 1392 01:10:06,732 --> 01:10:09,812 Speaker 2: because of a tricky pace in case. So these are 1393 01:10:10,013 --> 01:10:12,333 Speaker 2: they're doing it, but they've got surgeons standing around, you know, 1394 01:10:12,372 --> 01:10:14,372 Speaker 2: and monitoring what's going on and jumping in if there's 1395 01:10:14,412 --> 01:10:16,133 Speaker 2: a there's a problem. 1396 01:10:15,853 --> 01:10:18,333 Speaker 16: Right, Okay, Because I was going to say, have any 1397 01:10:18,372 --> 01:10:25,412 Speaker 16: of you watched that TV series Surgeon's Life on the Edge? Okay, 1398 01:10:25,492 --> 01:10:28,052 Speaker 16: so it's on Bravo I think it is. But anyway, 1399 01:10:28,612 --> 01:10:34,932 Speaker 16: they go into into quite complex procedures with specialists from 1400 01:10:35,013 --> 01:10:37,572 Speaker 16: all sorts of fields, depending what the operation is. But 1401 01:10:37,612 --> 01:10:39,812 Speaker 16: the one I saw recently, they were taking out a 1402 01:10:39,853 --> 01:10:47,892 Speaker 16: tumor of cancerous growth out of the jawline and it 1403 01:10:48,013 --> 01:10:52,772 Speaker 16: was very close to you essentially killing this lady because 1404 01:10:52,812 --> 01:10:55,933 Speaker 16: it was right beside the corona artery and everything, and 1405 01:10:56,013 --> 01:11:00,133 Speaker 16: one slip up. But anyway, the point is all these 1406 01:11:00,173 --> 01:11:03,973 Speaker 16: collaborative surgeons came in and said, if we open up 1407 01:11:04,013 --> 01:11:07,412 Speaker 16: and we find this, we're going to have to change 1408 01:11:07,412 --> 01:11:12,213 Speaker 16: out tech and go to Plan B. If Plan B 1409 01:11:12,372 --> 01:11:15,452 Speaker 16: doesn't work out, we've got Plan C, and at worst 1410 01:11:15,452 --> 01:11:19,692 Speaker 16: case scenario, we've got Plan B. I'm just wondering if 1411 01:11:19,732 --> 01:11:21,173 Speaker 16: the AI can do all that. 1412 01:11:21,853 --> 01:11:25,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the idea would be that AI would have 1413 01:11:25,933 --> 01:11:29,532 Speaker 2: had would have learned from every single piece of surgery 1414 01:11:29,572 --> 01:11:32,132 Speaker 2: in that area. It could possibly get pumped into its system. 1415 01:11:32,572 --> 01:11:36,333 Speaker 2: And we were talking about therapy before, right, and you 1416 01:11:36,372 --> 01:11:38,772 Speaker 2: know the back and forth between people, So what is 1417 01:11:38,812 --> 01:11:41,093 Speaker 2: someone that trains to be a therapist. They just read 1418 01:11:41,173 --> 01:11:43,053 Speaker 2: and read and read and learn and learn and learn, 1419 01:11:43,213 --> 01:11:47,173 Speaker 2: and from that they have responses that they give to people. 1420 01:11:47,452 --> 01:11:49,492 Speaker 2: It's the same with surgery, right, You learn and learn 1421 01:11:49,492 --> 01:11:50,933 Speaker 2: and learn what you're supposed to do when you have 1422 01:11:50,973 --> 01:11:54,492 Speaker 2: responses to problems, and that's what you bring to surgery. 1423 01:11:54,652 --> 01:11:58,452 Speaker 2: You bring your skills with the scalpel, and you bring 1424 01:11:58,572 --> 01:12:03,133 Speaker 2: your knowledge. But if you if the AI can have 1425 01:12:03,173 --> 01:12:06,612 Speaker 2: the same skills with the scalpel, it can also have 1426 01:12:07,093 --> 01:12:11,253 Speaker 2: much much larger knowledge than a human can hold and 1427 01:12:11,412 --> 01:12:14,972 Speaker 2: access it arguably much quicker. So unless there's some kind 1428 01:12:15,013 --> 01:12:18,053 Speaker 2: of a name like there's some kind of sense that 1429 01:12:18,133 --> 01:12:20,933 Speaker 2: humans have that above just the facts and figures and 1430 01:12:20,973 --> 01:12:25,453 Speaker 2: the learning. Then arguably, in the future the robot will 1431 01:12:25,772 --> 01:12:28,093 Speaker 2: be able to have a plan A, B, C, D, E, 1432 01:12:28,452 --> 01:12:30,452 Speaker 2: F G up to A thousand Blair. 1433 01:12:33,933 --> 01:12:35,333 Speaker 16: Yeah, you see, I just don't know. 1434 01:12:35,452 --> 01:12:36,692 Speaker 19: I just don't know if. 1435 01:12:36,532 --> 01:12:39,333 Speaker 16: It will develop to a point where it can essentially 1436 01:12:39,532 --> 01:12:40,253 Speaker 16: think on the fly. 1437 01:12:42,692 --> 01:12:45,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean, arguably, if there's something that 1438 01:12:45,333 --> 01:12:49,092 Speaker 2: happens that's never happened before, is where AI has a problem, 1439 01:12:49,372 --> 01:12:52,372 Speaker 2: because it learns off and you know, maybe it can 1440 01:12:52,412 --> 01:12:57,693 Speaker 2: bring things together, but until there's general intelligence, general artificial intelligence, 1441 01:12:58,253 --> 01:13:00,692 Speaker 2: it's not necessarily creative. And I guess what you're saying, 1442 01:13:00,732 --> 01:13:04,012 Speaker 2: Blair is that the surgeon may have to create a 1443 01:13:04,133 --> 01:13:07,372 Speaker 2: solution that is to something that has never ever happened before, 1444 01:13:07,812 --> 01:13:09,772 Speaker 2: and that that might be a problem for AI. 1445 01:13:09,853 --> 01:13:13,293 Speaker 6: But yeah, it's interesting, and that's a real it's a 1446 01:13:13,372 --> 01:13:14,853 Speaker 6: it's a real world possibility. 1447 01:13:15,013 --> 01:13:16,372 Speaker 16: Yeah, that's the moment. 1448 01:13:16,772 --> 01:13:19,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, I could definitely say it being utilized, Blairs. So 1449 01:13:20,013 --> 01:13:22,612 Speaker 3: you've still got a human surgeon, but they've got AI 1450 01:13:22,772 --> 01:13:25,892 Speaker 3: in the background, and if there's something that goes wrong, 1451 01:13:26,452 --> 01:13:29,852 Speaker 3: then they request information from from the AI. Because as 1452 01:13:29,893 --> 01:13:33,973 Speaker 3: we know, AI can make decisions and milliseconds and utilize 1453 01:13:34,053 --> 01:13:37,253 Speaker 3: all that information that it's stored to hopefully give that 1454 01:13:37,293 --> 01:13:40,173 Speaker 3: surgeon the best course of events as it sees it, 1455 01:13:40,372 --> 01:13:42,372 Speaker 3: and then the surgeon makes up its mind. But that, 1456 01:13:42,452 --> 01:13:44,133 Speaker 3: to me would actually be a good use of AI. 1457 01:13:45,133 --> 01:13:48,652 Speaker 16: The brain. The brain is a pretty powerful computer and 1458 01:13:48,772 --> 01:13:53,213 Speaker 16: it can just listening to one of your other cause, 1459 01:13:53,492 --> 01:13:57,093 Speaker 16: was it, Melissa, she's talking about the driving Melissa, Yeah, yeah, 1460 01:13:57,173 --> 01:14:00,133 Speaker 16: I mean I've been in a situation where I was 1461 01:14:00,213 --> 01:14:02,652 Speaker 16: riding a motorbike. I was riding too fast, I wasn't 1462 01:14:02,652 --> 01:14:07,093 Speaker 16: going to make the corner, and my brain processed all 1463 01:14:07,133 --> 01:14:11,333 Speaker 16: this information and gave me all these options to lessen 1464 01:14:11,412 --> 01:14:18,692 Speaker 16: my chances of being hurt. It kind of panned out. 1465 01:14:18,732 --> 01:14:20,253 Speaker 16: I mean I still got hurt. I still wrote the 1466 01:14:20,253 --> 01:14:23,253 Speaker 16: bike off, but I didn't I didn't damage the car 1467 01:14:23,333 --> 01:14:25,972 Speaker 16: I was heading toward because I managed to miss that 1468 01:14:26,053 --> 01:14:28,612 Speaker 16: because one of the options was go up the footpath 1469 01:14:28,612 --> 01:14:30,173 Speaker 16: and try and ride back down onto the road. 1470 01:14:30,532 --> 01:14:33,093 Speaker 2: It's amazing how things slow down to that point in 1471 01:14:33,133 --> 01:14:36,372 Speaker 2: those emergencies. That's when our brain really becomes quite amazing 1472 01:14:36,772 --> 01:14:40,012 Speaker 2: because it has the ability to not actually slow time, 1473 01:14:40,133 --> 01:14:43,932 Speaker 2: but to pump resources such that you process what's happening 1474 01:14:43,973 --> 01:14:46,412 Speaker 2: and give yourself options like you did there, Blair. 1475 01:14:47,173 --> 01:14:49,412 Speaker 3: Isn't that one of the theories, the theories of the 1476 01:14:49,452 --> 01:14:53,333 Speaker 3: life flashing before your eyes is your brain utilizing every 1477 01:14:53,412 --> 01:14:56,053 Speaker 3: experience that you've come across that might be similar to 1478 01:14:56,093 --> 01:14:58,013 Speaker 3: one that you're about to get very hurt on, and 1479 01:14:58,053 --> 01:14:59,692 Speaker 3: then it makes a decision. That was one of the 1480 01:14:59,692 --> 01:15:01,053 Speaker 3: theories by neuroscientists. 1481 01:15:02,853 --> 01:15:06,532 Speaker 16: And I suppose in a way that's a form of AI, then, 1482 01:15:06,612 --> 01:15:10,293 Speaker 16: isn't it because it's taking past experien speriences and giving 1483 01:15:10,333 --> 01:15:13,173 Speaker 16: you options for what you're facing now. 1484 01:15:13,812 --> 01:15:15,772 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and. 1485 01:15:17,692 --> 01:15:21,133 Speaker 16: It's a difficult I'm not at the stage of it. 1486 01:15:21,772 --> 01:15:23,053 Speaker 16: I probably wouldn't be. 1487 01:15:23,053 --> 01:15:23,572 Speaker 6: Happy with it. 1488 01:15:23,893 --> 01:15:26,173 Speaker 2: Thank you for you cool Blair. The interesting thing becomes 1489 01:15:26,173 --> 01:15:29,892 Speaker 2: the moral edge case, especially with autonomous vehicles, but also 1490 01:15:30,293 --> 01:15:33,173 Speaker 2: it happened in surgery as well, where you have to 1491 01:15:33,173 --> 01:15:35,732 Speaker 2: make a decision where definitely humans will die. So the 1492 01:15:35,772 --> 01:15:38,692 Speaker 2: car is in a situation where there's, out of all 1493 01:15:38,732 --> 01:15:42,293 Speaker 2: the options, someone is going to die. Do they decide 1494 01:15:42,293 --> 01:15:44,652 Speaker 2: that it's the passengers in the car that dies, or 1495 01:15:44,732 --> 01:15:48,852 Speaker 2: do the preschoolers that are crossing the road or the 1496 01:15:49,293 --> 01:15:52,093 Speaker 2: group of elderly people over here, or is it two 1497 01:15:52,093 --> 01:15:56,732 Speaker 2: people there as opposed to three people over here? Those 1498 01:15:56,772 --> 01:16:00,932 Speaker 2: are the really really complicated edge cases. And you know 1499 01:16:01,013 --> 01:16:04,972 Speaker 2: the trolley problem is another one as well. You know, 1500 01:16:05,333 --> 01:16:07,293 Speaker 2: does you're in action if you're if the car is 1501 01:16:07,333 --> 01:16:10,092 Speaker 2: driving the straight line and it can't move, can't stop, 1502 01:16:10,133 --> 01:16:14,412 Speaker 2: it's inaction. Will kill two people, but if it the 1503 01:16:15,452 --> 01:16:18,333 Speaker 2: if it deviates, it'll have a different result. You know, 1504 01:16:18,492 --> 01:16:20,732 Speaker 2: those are moral decisions that a human like Blair and 1505 01:16:20,772 --> 01:16:22,773 Speaker 2: his accident might make in us flit second. 1506 01:16:22,532 --> 01:16:25,133 Speaker 3: Yep, very fair point. Yeah, oh, one hundred and eighty 1507 01:16:25,133 --> 01:16:27,612 Speaker 3: ten eighty is the number to call. It is eight 1508 01:16:27,652 --> 01:16:29,333 Speaker 3: minutes to three, bag very surely. 1509 01:16:30,093 --> 01:16:32,532 Speaker 1: The issues that affect you and a bit of fun 1510 01:16:32,572 --> 01:16:36,452 Speaker 1: along the way. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons news talks. 1511 01:16:36,452 --> 01:16:36,852 Speaker 16: That'd be. 1512 01:16:38,692 --> 01:16:39,972 Speaker 3: It is five to three. 1513 01:16:40,013 --> 01:16:42,412 Speaker 2: Fascinating conversation, a lot of people asking what we're talking 1514 01:16:42,412 --> 01:16:45,732 Speaker 2: about with the runaway trolley problem. There is a runaway 1515 01:16:45,732 --> 01:16:48,293 Speaker 2: trolley barreling down the railway tracks that head on the tracks, 1516 01:16:48,333 --> 01:16:50,852 Speaker 2: there are five people tied up and unable to move. 1517 01:16:51,053 --> 01:16:53,012 Speaker 2: The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing 1518 01:16:53,053 --> 01:16:55,692 Speaker 2: some distance off in the train yard next to a lever, 1519 01:16:56,213 --> 01:16:58,812 Speaker 2: a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will 1520 01:16:58,812 --> 01:17:01,652 Speaker 2: switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice 1521 01:17:01,652 --> 01:17:04,053 Speaker 2: that there is one person on the side track. You 1522 01:17:04,133 --> 01:17:06,133 Speaker 2: have two options. Do nothing and the trolley kills the 1523 01:17:06,173 --> 01:17:08,852 Speaker 2: five people on the main track. Two pull the lever, 1524 01:17:08,973 --> 01:17:11,372 Speaker 2: diverting the trolley onto the sidetrack where it will kill 1525 01:17:11,412 --> 01:17:15,052 Speaker 2: one person. Which is the most ethical choice, you guess, 1526 01:17:15,053 --> 01:17:20,173 Speaker 2: incredibly complicated because the five people are only one person 1527 01:17:20,173 --> 01:17:22,532 Speaker 2: to five people. But that one person that you're going 1528 01:17:22,572 --> 01:17:24,053 Speaker 2: to divert to has got nothing to do with the 1529 01:17:24,093 --> 01:17:27,652 Speaker 2: situation at all. So you're diverting to kill this one 1530 01:17:27,692 --> 01:17:30,213 Speaker 2: person as opposed to five people. So if you do nothing, 1531 01:17:30,293 --> 01:17:32,732 Speaker 2: five people get killed. If you do something, one person 1532 01:17:32,772 --> 01:17:35,092 Speaker 2: bit kills, but you are deciding to kill that one person. 1533 01:17:35,612 --> 01:17:38,173 Speaker 2: So you have to make an active decision to kill 1534 01:17:38,213 --> 01:17:40,333 Speaker 2: a person as opposed to doing nothing and five people 1535 01:17:40,333 --> 01:17:41,892 Speaker 2: get killed. That's the kind of stuff that they have 1536 01:17:41,933 --> 01:17:42,892 Speaker 2: to program into AI. 1537 01:17:44,333 --> 01:17:45,972 Speaker 3: And who are the five people? Are the five people 1538 01:17:46,053 --> 01:17:48,572 Speaker 3: children you know? And the one person very elderly. I mean, 1539 01:17:48,612 --> 01:17:51,253 Speaker 3: they are all human decisions that we can make pretty quickly. 1540 01:17:51,333 --> 01:17:53,772 Speaker 2: So you've got your Tesla autopilot going along scanning all that. 1541 01:17:53,893 --> 01:17:57,053 Speaker 2: It's pretty complicated and similar things could happen in terms 1542 01:17:57,093 --> 01:18:00,612 Speaker 2: of surgery as well. Absolutely paralyzed. If I continue this, 1543 01:18:00,652 --> 01:18:03,612 Speaker 2: the person's legs will be paralyzed. If I don't, If 1544 01:18:03,652 --> 01:18:06,092 Speaker 2: I do nothing, their legs will peraliffy. To do something, 1545 01:18:06,213 --> 01:18:08,092 Speaker 2: the brain will be paralyzed. All the kind of complicated 1546 01:18:08,093 --> 01:18:08,772 Speaker 2: things can happen. 1547 01:18:08,812 --> 01:18:11,812 Speaker 3: Yeah, scary, fascinating times ahead, that's for sure. Great discussion, 1548 01:18:11,853 --> 01:18:14,772 Speaker 3: Thank you very much. After three o'clock, let's have a 1549 01:18:14,853 --> 01:18:18,173 Speaker 3: chat about celebrity selfies. Is it okay to take a 1550 01:18:18,293 --> 01:18:21,492 Speaker 3: selfie with a celebrity on the back of a very 1551 01:18:21,652 --> 01:18:24,052 Speaker 3: interesting post by Robbie Williams. Will tell you more about 1552 01:18:24,093 --> 01:18:27,532 Speaker 3: that very shortly. It is three to three. 1553 01:18:28,812 --> 01:18:33,333 Speaker 1: Your new homes are insightful and entertaining. Talk It's Mattie 1554 01:18:33,372 --> 01:18:36,692 Speaker 1: and Taylor Adams afternoons on News Talk. 1555 01:18:36,572 --> 01:18:41,173 Speaker 3: Sebbies, Good afternoon to you, Welcome back into the show. 1556 01:18:41,253 --> 01:18:44,253 Speaker 3: This is going to be a good hour of discussion. 1557 01:18:44,372 --> 01:18:48,933 Speaker 3: It's about celebrities and taking selfies with them more approaching 1558 01:18:49,293 --> 01:18:51,372 Speaker 3: celebrities in the first place. On the back of something 1559 01:18:51,452 --> 01:18:52,612 Speaker 3: Robbie Williams. 1560 01:18:52,173 --> 01:18:54,492 Speaker 2: Posted, Yeah, the question one hundred and eighteen eighty two. 1561 01:18:54,532 --> 01:18:57,572 Speaker 2: Celebrities owe you a picture because you know their fame 1562 01:18:57,572 --> 01:19:01,932 Speaker 2: and their wealth is based on human beings following them. 1563 01:19:02,452 --> 01:19:05,093 Speaker 2: What are the terms of engagement? Do you leave people 1564 01:19:05,093 --> 01:19:07,093 Speaker 2: alone with their family when they're eating, when they're walking 1565 01:19:07,133 --> 01:19:10,012 Speaker 2: down a street? You know? When when do you approach them? 1566 01:19:10,253 --> 01:19:12,572 Speaker 2: And what I mean? Another question is why do we 1567 01:19:12,612 --> 01:19:16,052 Speaker 2: want pictures of celebrities? Why do we need them? And look, 1568 01:19:16,053 --> 01:19:18,053 Speaker 2: have you had a great experience with a celebrity or 1569 01:19:18,133 --> 01:19:20,333 Speaker 2: have you had a bad experience with one? Eight hundred 1570 01:19:20,333 --> 01:19:23,333 Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty is the number Robbie Williams. He 1571 01:19:23,412 --> 01:19:27,532 Speaker 2: has posted about the discomfort he feels when he's approached 1572 01:19:27,532 --> 01:19:31,732 Speaker 2: for photos. He says he feels gratitude when fans expressed 1573 01:19:31,772 --> 01:19:35,253 Speaker 2: genuine admiration, but he emphasized that and he wants to 1574 01:19:35,253 --> 01:19:37,492 Speaker 2: say he's not complaining, but he says sometimes he has 1575 01:19:37,532 --> 01:19:40,093 Speaker 2: panic attacks and he fears when people come up to 1576 01:19:40,133 --> 01:19:41,933 Speaker 2: talk to him that everyone will notice them and it 1577 01:19:41,973 --> 01:19:44,852 Speaker 2: becomes a bit of problem. And he said that there's 1578 01:19:44,893 --> 01:19:48,412 Speaker 2: an unspoken law that celebrities should always be available, but 1579 01:19:48,492 --> 01:19:52,772 Speaker 2: he thinks that that expectation is unfair and unrealistic. So 1580 01:19:53,772 --> 01:19:55,572 Speaker 2: this is about a situation when he's on a plane, 1581 01:19:55,612 --> 01:19:58,892 Speaker 2: he's got his four kids with him, he's feeling pretty 1582 01:19:58,893 --> 01:20:01,652 Speaker 2: gross and tired, and people are asking for pictures and 1583 01:20:01,692 --> 01:20:04,012 Speaker 2: he just didn't want to do it. But he did 1584 01:20:04,053 --> 01:20:05,452 Speaker 2: do it, but he didn't want to do it, and 1585 01:20:05,532 --> 01:20:08,852 Speaker 2: he just wanted to raise that the expectation you're always 1586 01:20:08,853 --> 01:20:13,493 Speaker 2: ready because you're famous to give of yourself as unrealistic. 1587 01:20:13,532 --> 01:20:15,013 Speaker 2: So what do we think about that one hundred and 1588 01:20:15,013 --> 01:20:18,812 Speaker 2: eighteen eighty If you're famous, is it that much to 1589 01:20:18,853 --> 01:20:20,173 Speaker 2: just get a picture taken with you? 1590 01:20:20,253 --> 01:20:23,333 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, good on. It's very honest from Robbie Williams. 1591 01:20:23,372 --> 01:20:25,812 Speaker 3: And he comes across as a very jovial chap and 1592 01:20:25,853 --> 01:20:29,253 Speaker 3: he's very funny when he's interviewed, but clearly he's been 1593 01:20:29,372 --> 01:20:31,813 Speaker 3: very honest when he says he feels that social anxiety 1594 01:20:31,812 --> 01:20:33,372 Speaker 3: when he gets approached all the time. 1595 01:20:33,492 --> 01:20:35,132 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the guy has panic attacks. 1596 01:20:35,213 --> 01:20:38,892 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, that's pretty full on. So but you know, 1597 01:20:38,973 --> 01:20:42,213 Speaker 3: going back to that original point he made that celebrity 1598 01:20:42,253 --> 01:20:44,492 Speaker 3: should be available when they're out and about. I think 1599 01:20:44,492 --> 01:20:47,133 Speaker 3: that is part and parcel of being in the public eye, 1600 01:20:47,213 --> 01:20:49,932 Speaker 3: that if people see you and they're a fan, and 1601 01:20:49,973 --> 01:20:51,892 Speaker 3: they want a photo or they want you to sign 1602 01:20:51,973 --> 01:20:54,973 Speaker 3: something that is, for lack of a better word, the 1603 01:20:55,013 --> 01:20:56,133 Speaker 3: cross Robbie has to be here. 1604 01:20:56,293 --> 01:20:57,893 Speaker 2: But he says that a lot of people, because this 1605 01:20:57,933 --> 01:21:00,532 Speaker 2: happened in the United States, this particular incident, people didn't 1606 01:21:00,532 --> 01:21:03,972 Speaker 2: even know what it, couldn't name his albums. Yeah, and 1607 01:21:04,053 --> 01:21:06,213 Speaker 2: they just didn't really know who he was, knew he 1608 01:21:06,253 --> 01:21:08,213 Speaker 2: was vaguely famous, and if someone gets a picture with them. 1609 01:21:08,333 --> 01:21:09,732 Speaker 2: A lot of people have started lining out to get 1610 01:21:09,772 --> 01:21:12,333 Speaker 2: pictures with him. They don't even really know who he is, 1611 01:21:12,612 --> 01:21:16,173 Speaker 2: and they don't really care about it. So I don't know. 1612 01:21:16,253 --> 01:21:18,812 Speaker 2: I'm in two minds about it. Why do you need 1613 01:21:18,853 --> 01:21:20,092 Speaker 2: to hassle someone for a picture? 1614 01:21:20,933 --> 01:21:22,492 Speaker 3: Well, I think there's a time in the place if 1615 01:21:22,532 --> 01:21:25,492 Speaker 3: they were in a restaurant and clearly he's got his 1616 01:21:25,612 --> 01:21:28,812 Speaker 3: kids with him and he's having a meal. Look. I've 1617 01:21:28,853 --> 01:21:32,013 Speaker 3: never never approached a celebrity for a photo autograph. I 1618 01:21:32,013 --> 01:21:34,652 Speaker 3: can say that hand on heart. I have never done it. 1619 01:21:34,732 --> 01:21:36,652 Speaker 3: Maybe as a child with rugby player, I don't know, 1620 01:21:36,652 --> 01:21:39,973 Speaker 3: but I can't remember any times. But if you're on 1621 01:21:40,013 --> 01:21:42,532 Speaker 3: a plane and it's someone that really loves Robbie and 1622 01:21:42,612 --> 01:21:44,652 Speaker 3: Robbie's just released a movie, right, he was part of 1623 01:21:44,692 --> 01:21:47,012 Speaker 3: that movie that's just been released. There's a documentary that's 1624 01:21:47,013 --> 01:21:49,412 Speaker 3: gone out Better Man, Yep, better Man, and apparently it's 1625 01:21:49,492 --> 01:21:49,852 Speaker 3: very good. 1626 01:21:49,893 --> 01:21:51,652 Speaker 2: Well he plays. He won't recognize him from that though, 1627 01:21:51,692 --> 01:21:53,213 Speaker 2: because he's replaced with a monkey. 1628 01:21:53,372 --> 01:21:58,652 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. But the fact he's still promoting things 1629 01:21:58,692 --> 01:22:01,532 Speaker 3: that he's doing still makes him public property in a way. 1630 01:22:01,652 --> 01:22:04,213 Speaker 2: Well, but I mean is that the case, say an 1631 01:22:04,253 --> 01:22:07,612 Speaker 2: uber driver when they're not working, because that's their job, 1632 01:22:07,652 --> 01:22:09,452 Speaker 2: they should have meet it, jump in their car and 1633 01:22:09,532 --> 01:22:13,092 Speaker 2: drive you somewhere. I mean that you're working. Sometimes if 1634 01:22:13,133 --> 01:22:16,013 Speaker 2: a celebrity is turned up for a promotional event, absolutely 1635 01:22:16,013 --> 01:22:18,452 Speaker 2: the picture. But if someone's on a plane with four kids, 1636 01:22:19,053 --> 01:22:20,732 Speaker 2: leave the man alone, I'd. 1637 01:22:20,572 --> 01:22:23,293 Speaker 3: Say, yeah, But then I see these actors like Daniel 1638 01:22:23,372 --> 01:22:27,253 Speaker 3: d Lewis right, and he is notoriously private about his life. 1639 01:22:27,293 --> 01:22:29,812 Speaker 3: He used to turn up to some interviews but not 1640 01:22:29,933 --> 01:22:33,372 Speaker 3: so much anymore, and people leave him alone because he's 1641 01:22:33,412 --> 01:22:36,333 Speaker 3: made it quite clear that he is not going to 1642 01:22:36,333 --> 01:22:38,452 Speaker 3: promote himself, so he will let us acting in his 1643 01:22:38,532 --> 01:22:42,652 Speaker 3: movie speak for itself. But Robbie being a showman for 1644 01:22:42,732 --> 01:22:44,772 Speaker 3: most of his life, it's as part of him. 1645 01:22:44,893 --> 01:22:48,012 Speaker 2: You think that if you court publicity for your own 1646 01:22:48,173 --> 01:22:51,612 Speaker 2: financial gain on occasion, then you have opened lather for 1647 01:22:51,612 --> 01:22:53,293 Speaker 2: the rest of the time. And think there is a 1648 01:22:52,652 --> 01:22:56,692 Speaker 2: certain part of that. There are people that just let 1649 01:22:56,732 --> 01:22:59,732 Speaker 2: there art work, you know, their work speak for itself, 1650 01:23:00,093 --> 01:23:02,253 Speaker 2: and there are people that have go to the opening 1651 01:23:02,293 --> 01:23:04,732 Speaker 2: of an envelope, and maybe those people don't deserve as 1652 01:23:04,812 --> 01:23:08,892 Speaker 2: much privacy as as the other ones. You've also got 1653 01:23:08,933 --> 01:23:10,892 Speaker 2: to remember that a lot of famous people, a lot 1654 01:23:10,933 --> 01:23:14,492 Speaker 2: of people that are out and about, you know, you know, 1655 01:23:15,452 --> 01:23:18,253 Speaker 2: putting themselves out there in terms of their art, acting, music, 1656 01:23:18,253 --> 01:23:21,812 Speaker 2: are actually introverts and they actually find it really really 1657 01:23:21,933 --> 01:23:23,572 Speaker 2: terrifying to deal with people one on one. 1658 01:23:23,772 --> 01:23:26,572 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, I've seen some of the videos 1659 01:23:26,612 --> 01:23:30,333 Speaker 3: recently Tom Hardy, he's in a movie very recently. But 1660 01:23:30,572 --> 01:23:33,293 Speaker 3: they the fans are waiting outside one of the premier 1661 01:23:33,333 --> 01:23:35,412 Speaker 3: yeers and there's a few other premier yeers and he 1662 01:23:35,452 --> 01:23:37,412 Speaker 3: goes out there and he's got a steely face on 1663 01:23:37,732 --> 01:23:40,492 Speaker 3: and clearly he doesn't like to be in that position, 1664 01:23:40,572 --> 01:23:43,333 Speaker 3: but he goes up to everybody and grabs their phones 1665 01:23:43,412 --> 01:23:45,612 Speaker 3: and then he goes from steely face to a fake smile, 1666 01:23:45,853 --> 01:23:48,012 Speaker 3: takes a snap and then just moves down the line. 1667 01:23:48,253 --> 01:23:50,053 Speaker 3: And so I look at that and I think, oh, man, 1668 01:23:50,093 --> 01:23:52,572 Speaker 3: that is you know for someone like Tom Hardy. He's 1669 01:23:52,612 --> 01:23:55,293 Speaker 3: there at a premier year promoting his movie, but that 1670 01:23:55,452 --> 01:23:56,612 Speaker 3: is a chore for him to do that. 1671 01:23:56,812 --> 01:24:00,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, panashek because you don't. Yeah, I'll talk about come 1672 01:24:00,213 --> 01:24:01,652 Speaker 2: up in a bit. I'll talk about what Stephen Fryer 1673 01:24:01,652 --> 01:24:03,652 Speaker 2: said about this and why he refuses to have SELFI 1674 01:24:03,692 --> 01:24:05,932 Speaker 2: is taken with himself and people when they come up 1675 01:24:05,933 --> 01:24:08,732 Speaker 2: to here.

Williams believes the 1690 01:24:45,532 --> 01:24:48,572 Speaker 2: expectation is unfair and unrealistic. It always makes me think 1691 01:24:48,692 --> 01:24:52,092 Speaker 2: of this line from Tom Hanks in the Simpsons movie. 1692 01:24:52,213 --> 01:24:54,372 Speaker 16: This is Tom Hanks saying, if you see me in person, 1693 01:24:54,452 --> 01:24:55,492 Speaker 16: please leave me be. 1694 01:24:58,253 --> 01:25:02,812 Speaker 3: Very good.

He 1750 01:27:40,732 --> 01:27:43,333 Speaker 23: said do you mind, you know, to get a shot 1751 01:27:43,333 --> 01:27:45,612 Speaker 23: with you and he said, no, no problem, but just 1752 01:27:45,652 --> 01:27:47,173 Speaker 23: the one no boys and then leave it at that 1753 01:27:47,213 --> 01:27:49,093 Speaker 23: and it was all cool. So, yeah, that was their 1754 01:27:49,253 --> 01:27:51,973 Speaker 23: experience with him. But I think there is a so 1755 01:27:52,173 --> 01:27:53,772 Speaker 23: it was pretty cool. That was pretty good of him, 1756 01:27:53,812 --> 01:27:56,572 Speaker 23: you know, because he probably got hastled throughout that concert 1757 01:27:56,612 --> 01:27:59,053 Speaker 23: when people recognized who it was, you know, but he 1758 01:27:59,093 --> 01:28:00,892 Speaker 23: still gave us, but he still gave us the time 1759 01:28:00,893 --> 01:28:02,452 Speaker 23: to take one with him and that. But he was 1760 01:28:02,532 --> 01:28:05,093 Speaker 23: quite nice about saying, just just the one boys and 1761 01:28:05,133 --> 01:28:06,372 Speaker 23: then we'll leave it at that, you know. 1762 01:28:06,652 --> 01:28:09,652 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Tim fan puts some parameters in there. I 1763 01:28:09,692 --> 01:28:12,452 Speaker 2: was once shooting a music video for Tim Finn. We 1764 01:28:12,532 --> 01:28:14,732 Speaker 2: made a number of his music videos back in the day, 1765 01:28:15,133 --> 01:28:17,892 Speaker 2: and we were shooting a video and a car and 1766 01:28:17,933 --> 01:28:19,732 Speaker 2: he was sitting there. He had to drive the car, 1767 01:28:20,133 --> 01:28:24,333 Speaker 2: Tim and he everything was being around, lights were being 1768 01:28:24,333 --> 01:28:26,093 Speaker 2: set up, a bunch of stuff for coming. Then it 1769 01:28:26,133 --> 01:28:28,772 Speaker 2: was out on the street and a guy came over 1770 01:28:29,452 --> 01:28:30,973 Speaker 2: and sat down in the car beside him that it 1771 01:28:31,013 --> 01:28:33,812 Speaker 2: was just a stranger and lit a joint and said, 1772 01:28:33,853 --> 01:28:35,692 Speaker 2: I just always wanted to share a joint with you, Tim. 1773 01:28:36,213 --> 01:28:39,293 Speaker 3: What do I don't know what did. I'm not going 1774 01:28:39,372 --> 01:28:42,892 Speaker 3: to say what Tim did, but the balls just to 1775 01:28:43,093 --> 01:28:45,612 Speaker 3: rock up and sit aside. So yeah, right through a 1776 01:28:45,652 --> 01:28:48,572 Speaker 3: film of the cameras, he knew it was going well 1777 01:28:48,652 --> 01:28:50,892 Speaker 3: maybe not. Yeah, he just saw Tim Finn and he 1778 01:28:50,933 --> 01:28:53,253 Speaker 3: knew what he was doing. That's single minded. Yeah, good 1779 01:28:53,293 --> 01:28:55,932 Speaker 3: on him. Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty. Who 1780 01:28:55,973 --> 01:28:58,292 Speaker 3: was the celebrity you met and asked for a signature 1781 01:28:58,652 --> 01:29:01,092 Speaker 3: or selfie? And what was their reaction? 1782 01:29:02,013 --> 01:29:04,692 Speaker 2: Do they owe you? It's an unspoken law that celebrity 1783 01:29:04,692 --> 01:29:07,293 Speaker 2: should always be available. But should they? Yeah, if they're 1784 01:29:07,333 --> 01:29:09,692 Speaker 2: just about minding their own business, why should they have 1785 01:29:09,732 --> 01:29:11,812 Speaker 2: to give up their time? And you know, maybe they're 1786 01:29:11,812 --> 01:29:15,213 Speaker 2: not feeling up to it. Leave them alone. The spersions said, 1787 01:29:16,253 --> 01:29:18,213 Speaker 2: Robbie Williams wanted to be a star and now he's 1788 01:29:18,253 --> 01:29:20,893 Speaker 2: over it. He could always buy his own plane. I 1789 01:29:20,893 --> 01:29:25,012 Speaker 2: don't know, maybe he could. That is rubbish. Boys, nobody 1790 01:29:25,053 --> 01:29:27,772 Speaker 2: is that special. They are not God. Yeah, but you're 1791 01:29:27,772 --> 01:29:30,732 Speaker 2: making them special. That's from Mary.

I Williams believe that's expatient expectation 2007 01:40:12,973 --> 01:40:17,133 Speaker 2: is unfair and unrealistic. I think, yeah, I mean, sure 2008 01:40:17,133 --> 01:40:19,852 Speaker 2: you can ask for a photograph, but if they say, 2009 01:40:19,933 --> 01:40:21,652 Speaker 2: oh no, I'm not feeling up to it, then you'd 2010 01:40:21,692 --> 01:40:22,812 Speaker 2: leave them alone, right. 2011 01:40:23,093 --> 01:40:25,093 Speaker 3: I think in New Zealand we're pretty good with that 2012 01:40:25,173 --> 01:40:27,612 Speaker 3: sort of stuff. Right in America it's crazy town, and 2013 01:40:27,652 --> 01:40:29,652 Speaker 3: I think in the UK it's pretty similar with the 2014 01:40:29,652 --> 01:40:30,892 Speaker 3: pepperazzi and the rest of it. 2015 01:40:30,973 --> 01:40:31,093 Speaker 7: Well. 2016 01:40:31,133 --> 01:40:34,652 Speaker 2: Stephen Frye it says that it's changed massively in his career. 2017 01:40:34,692 --> 01:40:37,173 Speaker 2: He used to sign autographs for people and he didn't 2018 01:40:37,173 --> 01:40:39,532 Speaker 2: mind that because he could talk to them. He'd ask 2019 01:40:39,572 --> 01:40:41,572 Speaker 2: where they're from, he'd learned about their name, and they 2020 01:40:41,612 --> 01:40:44,452 Speaker 2: head could have a conversation. But he said, with everyone 2021 01:40:44,492 --> 01:40:47,412 Speaker 2: having a cell phone standing and posing for the picture, 2022 01:40:47,532 --> 01:40:51,173 Speaker 2: he refuses to do it because there's no correspondence. You're 2023 01:40:51,173 --> 01:40:55,572 Speaker 2: just standing there in silence. They take ages fumbling to 2024 01:40:55,612 --> 01:40:58,212 Speaker 2: get their phone, take the picture, and he gets absolutely 2025 01:40:58,293 --> 01:41:00,652 Speaker 2: nothing out of it. So he will Stephen fry will 2026 01:41:00,692 --> 01:41:02,452 Speaker 2: sign autographs, but he won't give you a picture. 2027 01:41:02,652 --> 01:41:04,772 Speaker 3: I love that because here's something kind of awkward the 2028 01:41:04,772 --> 01:41:06,452 Speaker 3: way that you've just said that. That is a really 2029 01:41:06,532 --> 01:41:10,333 Speaker 3: awkward encounter for Stephen Fry. Whereas he's probably a guy 2030 01:41:10,372 --> 01:41:12,093 Speaker 3: that likes stave a chat. You know, you'll tell some 2031 01:41:12,173 --> 01:41:14,932 Speaker 3: stories where you're from. He is one of those jovial 2032 01:41:14,933 --> 01:41:16,253 Speaker 3: sort of g You can. 2033 01:41:16,213 --> 01:41:18,213 Speaker 2: Totally see that point. He's willing to give you his time, 2034 01:41:18,213 --> 01:41:21,012 Speaker 2: but he's not necessarily willing to give you a photo. 2035 01:41:21,532 --> 01:41:23,532 Speaker 2: And who knows. You might have left the house and 2036 01:41:24,013 --> 01:41:26,692 Speaker 2: here is in a terrible state, and you hung over 2037 01:41:26,772 --> 01:41:30,372 Speaker 2: and you look terrible, and whatever reason you didn't get 2038 01:41:30,452 --> 01:41:32,093 Speaker 2: dressed up to the nines to go out. Maybe you 2039 01:41:32,093 --> 01:41:33,732 Speaker 2: don't want a photo, but you're quite willing to give 2040 01:41:34,973 --> 01:41:37,892 Speaker 2: a signature.

But 2053 01:42:07,213 --> 01:42:09,972 Speaker 2: you've got to say that was a risk financial move 2054 01:42:10,053 --> 01:42:11,932 Speaker 2: to spend one hundred and ten million dollars in whatever 2055 01:42:11,933 --> 01:42:14,132 Speaker 2: the marketing was to make. 2056 01:42:13,973 --> 01:42:17,092 Speaker 3: That clearly fifteen million, one hundred and ten million budget. 2057 01:42:17,293 --> 01:42:20,733 Speaker 2: Joe, you you've met George Benson, the jazz guitarist. 2058 01:42:21,053 --> 01:42:27,812 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I did.

We had 2066 01:42:53,812 --> 01:42:58,172 Speaker 7: cameras and he talked about his family, he talked about 2067 01:42:58,213 --> 01:42:59,732 Speaker 7: his best friend, Prince. 2068 01:43:00,412 --> 01:43:01,052 Speaker 2: Oh wow. 2069 01:43:01,133 --> 01:43:04,093 Speaker 7: So it was an amazing time. And I still got 2070 01:43:04,093 --> 01:43:07,093 Speaker 7: the photos. Of course, you don't throw away anything like that. 2071 01:43:07,293 --> 01:43:09,812 Speaker 2: No, So you you were out of concert with and 2072 01:43:09,853 --> 01:43:12,053 Speaker 2: George Benson was there and he got invited backstage. What 2073 01:43:12,133 --> 01:43:14,612 Speaker 2: about if you've just seen George Benson on the street, 2074 01:43:14,652 --> 01:43:17,892 Speaker 2: would you've gone up and spoken to him? Or another example, 2075 01:43:17,893 --> 01:43:21,492 Speaker 2: he's sitting down having lunch at a restaurant or a cafe. 2076 01:43:21,532 --> 01:43:23,333 Speaker 2: Would you have gone up and spoken to him or 2077 01:43:23,372 --> 01:43:27,132 Speaker 2: asked for a picture under those circumstances. 2078 01:43:26,372 --> 01:43:29,092 Speaker 7: Well, if I could get near him, I mean you can't. 2079 01:43:29,853 --> 01:43:32,692 Speaker 7: Can you get near such people?

You're not 2120 01:45:25,492 --> 01:45:27,253 Speaker 2: owed it just because they're famous, That's what i'd say. 2121 01:45:27,293 --> 01:45:29,053 Speaker 2: You think, Tyler, that they are it to everyone just 2122 01:45:29,053 --> 01:45:31,452 Speaker 2: because they've made money off you both by you being 2123 01:45:31,452 --> 01:45:31,812 Speaker 2: their fan. 2124 01:45:32,053 --> 01:45:34,292 Speaker 3: Yes, I do. I think if you're in the entertainment 2125 01:45:34,293 --> 01:45:36,892 Speaker 3: game and someone wants a selfie at any time of 2126 01:45:36,893 --> 01:45:38,852 Speaker 3: the day, even on an airplane or in a restaurant, 2127 01:45:38,853 --> 01:45:40,972 Speaker 3: they should offer that up. But I will say there's 2128 01:45:41,013 --> 01:45:44,973 Speaker 3: more and more of the professional autograph hunters, and I 2129 01:45:45,013 --> 01:45:47,213 Speaker 3: see that in videos popping up, and the celebrities are 2130 01:45:47,293 --> 01:45:49,452 Speaker 3: very wise to it now. And I don't know how, 2131 01:45:49,652 --> 01:45:51,892 Speaker 3: but they'll go through the week crowd and sign that 2132 01:45:52,093 --> 01:45:54,492 Speaker 3: I'm not signing that, sorry, and then move on and 2133 01:45:54,572 --> 01:45:56,612 Speaker 3: clearly they're up for resale. I don't know how much 2134 01:45:56,612 --> 01:45:58,212 Speaker 3: money you can get from some of these autographs. 2135 01:45:58,253 --> 01:46:01,772 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, I don't know. As someone says here, fans 2136 01:46:01,772 --> 01:46:04,133 Speaker 2: are commodifying the star by taking a photo. They're using 2137 01:46:04,173 --> 01:46:07,612 Speaker 2: it for social currency, as signature, and a chat as 2138 01:46:07,692 --> 01:46:10,572 Speaker 2: primarily a personal interaction. Yeah, that's what Stephen Fryer saying. 2139 01:46:10,853 --> 01:46:13,253 Speaker 2: The six says, I don't want a selfie with anyone, 2140 01:46:13,253 --> 01:46:17,253 Speaker 2: including some mediocre radio jocks. That's from Mark. Well, look, 2141 01:46:17,293 --> 01:46:19,892 Speaker 2: if you're talking about me and Tyler, Mark, there's no choice. 2142 01:46:19,893 --> 01:46:22,293 Speaker 2: We're coming around to your house and we're forcing you 2143 01:46:22,333 --> 01:46:23,253 Speaker 2: to have a selfie with us. 2144 01:46:23,293 --> 01:46:25,372 Speaker 3: After that text, we're going to find you, Mark, and 2145 01:46:25,452 --> 01:46:27,412 Speaker 3: even we don't find you, we'll do a selfie and 2146 01:46:27,452 --> 01:46:29,133 Speaker 3: we'll send it to you via email.

He 2221 01:50:13,933 --> 01:50:16,972 Speaker 2: asked me out for dinner. I poltely declined, seeing as 2222 01:50:17,013 --> 01:50:19,452 Speaker 2: we were both married. He was somewhat sleazy. So there's 2223 01:50:19,452 --> 01:50:22,173 Speaker 2: been Greg Matthews, a cricketer that you haven't heard a 2224 01:50:22,173 --> 01:50:24,333 Speaker 2: lot about for a while, but he was pretty controversial 2225 01:50:24,372 --> 01:50:26,213 Speaker 2: when he came through in New Zealand. He was about 2226 01:50:26,213 --> 01:50:29,412 Speaker 2: fancy pants and we'd get angry enough at Australians. So 2227 01:50:29,572 --> 01:50:32,293 Speaker 2: he's told someoney if off when he was on that tour, 2228 01:50:32,652 --> 01:50:35,812 Speaker 2: and he's asked someone out on the date. So do 2229 01:50:35,893 --> 01:50:38,093 Speaker 2: you go not looking good for Greg Matthew. I don't 2230 01:50:38,093 --> 01:50:40,013 Speaker 2: know he's allowed to ask someone out on a date, 2231 01:50:40,093 --> 01:50:40,372 Speaker 2: isn't he? 2232 01:50:40,452 --> 01:50:40,692 Speaker 11: Well? 2233 01:50:40,933 --> 01:50:44,652 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean it depended on how he reacted 2234 01:50:44,652 --> 01:50:46,052 Speaker 3: when she politely declined. 2235 01:50:46,853 --> 01:50:49,133 Speaker 2: When overseas for an Oe in twenty twenty, I met 2236 01:50:49,173 --> 01:50:51,892 Speaker 2: David and Victoria Beckham. I was having lunch at Herod's 2237 01:50:51,933 --> 01:50:54,492 Speaker 2: in one of their cafes with my mother and a friend. 2238 01:50:54,492 --> 01:50:56,412 Speaker 2: They said at the table side us. We were told 2239 01:50:56,452 --> 01:50:58,532 Speaker 2: by staff not to trouble them, but my friend, who 2240 01:50:58,652 --> 01:51:01,532 Speaker 2: has worked in radio and New Zealand, thought stuff. Not 2241 01:51:01,612 --> 01:51:03,772 Speaker 2: going to miss the opportunity to took a photo we 2242 01:51:03,893 --> 01:51:06,852 Speaker 2: had just developed and asked David to sign it. He 2243 01:51:06,973 --> 01:51:09,253 Speaker 2: was really lovely to talk to, very happy to do so. 2244 01:51:09,333 --> 01:51:11,173 Speaker 2: Victoria was not happy about it at all, but took 2245 01:51:11,173 --> 01:51:15,372 Speaker 2: the photo and signed it two different times though pre smartphones. 2246 01:51:15,612 --> 01:51:17,612 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I don't know how I feel 2247 01:51:17,652 --> 01:51:20,852 Speaker 2: about that if someone's out having lunch, just I don't know, dear, 2248 01:51:22,532 --> 01:51:26,252 Speaker 2: that's a tough one. There are flash hotels in America 2249 01:51:26,253 --> 01:51:28,732 Speaker 2: where you definitely aren't allowed to go up to ask 2250 01:51:28,732 --> 01:51:30,532 Speaker 2: people for their pictures. 2251 01:51:30,612 --> 01:51:33,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, But on David Beckham, that's what I've heard, and 2252 01:51:33,173 --> 01:51:35,692 Speaker 3: that's clearly well, whether it's work for him or not, 2253 01:51:35,893 --> 01:51:38,892 Speaker 3: he enjoys it. But that is a reputation he's earned 2254 01:51:39,053 --> 01:51:41,692 Speaker 3: as a really nice guy because he does those sort 2255 01:51:41,692 --> 01:51:45,093 Speaker 3: of things, whereas his wife Victoria clearly doesn't have any 2256 01:51:45,093 --> 01:51:48,012 Speaker 3: problem telling somebody to bugger off, this is the wrong time. 2257 01:51:48,492 --> 01:51:50,972 Speaker 3: And most people when they think about Victoria Beckham probably 2258 01:51:51,013 --> 01:51:56,452 Speaker 3: don't think incredibly nice person. Yeah, you know, David's had 2259 01:51:56,492 --> 01:51:59,892 Speaker 3: to work for that nice guy persona, whereas Victoria doesn't care. 2260 01:51:59,732 --> 01:52:03,173 Speaker 2: Because she was already wealthy. I met Shaquille O'Neil, NBA 2261 01:52:03,293 --> 01:52:06,852 Speaker 2: superstar in Las Vegas at a basketball tournament and his 2262 01:52:06,933 --> 01:52:09,772 Speaker 2: son was playing. After the game, people were following him, 2263 01:52:09,893 --> 01:52:13,133 Speaker 2: so I did. However, they were asking him for money, 2264 01:52:14,572 --> 01:52:17,452 Speaker 2: not for a picture. I quickly took a pick while 2265 01:52:17,452 --> 01:52:19,812 Speaker 2: other people were quite rude and nasty and pushing. That's 2266 01:52:19,812 --> 01:52:22,852 Speaker 2: a that's another level. That's one thing I'm saying that 2267 01:52:22,933 --> 01:52:26,732 Speaker 2: it might be occasions where you know, a celebrity doesn't 2268 01:52:26,772 --> 01:52:28,253 Speaker 2: need to give you the picture, and maybe you should. 2269 01:52:28,253 --> 01:52:30,412 Speaker 2: Their owdes a bit of privacy, as probably Williams are 2270 01:52:30,412 --> 01:52:33,173 Speaker 2: saying here. But asking them for money is the next level. 2271 01:52:33,253 --> 01:52:34,932 Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, Shack, can I ten bucks? 2272 01:52:34,973 --> 01:52:36,053 Speaker 2: Check? Is a billionaire though? 2273 01:52:36,173 --> 01:52:38,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, he could afford it. But whether it's polite to 2274 01:52:38,372 --> 01:52:39,372 Speaker 3: ask Shack for ten bucks? 2275 01:52:39,372 --> 01:52:41,333 Speaker 2: Well, how much money does a billionaire have it on them? 2276 01:52:42,612 --> 01:52:42,732 Speaker 20: Oh? 2277 01:52:42,772 --> 01:52:44,972 Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty.
