So 42 00:02:16,853 --> 00:02:20,333 Speaker 2: they've you know, they've listened to whatever this person is 43 00:02:20,773 --> 00:02:25,453 Speaker 2: that's that's actually been the perpetrator and paid his story first. 44 00:02:25,532 --> 00:02:28,453 Speaker 2: So the full stories come out and Ellen Richson's been 45 00:02:28,573 --> 00:02:32,933 Speaker 2: completely exonerated. But who packs a fight with Jack Reacher? 46 00:02:34,173 --> 00:02:36,852 Speaker 2: Who jumps because because he jumped down in front of 47 00:02:36,853 --> 00:02:39,213 Speaker 2: his bike to the point where Alan Ritchson went over 48 00:02:39,252 --> 00:02:42,253 Speaker 2: the handlebars, and then he's very magnantis about. It's like, 49 00:02:42,293 --> 00:02:42,933 Speaker 2: what are you doing? 50 00:02:42,933 --> 00:02:43,093 Speaker 5: Man? 51 00:02:43,173 --> 00:02:44,733 Speaker 2: The guy keeps coming at him, coming at him, and 52 00:02:44,733 --> 00:02:46,733 Speaker 2: eventually pushes him off as bike when he gets on. 53 00:02:48,013 --> 00:02:51,733 Speaker 2: Who starts a fight with Jack Reacher in the TV series? 54 00:02:52,053 --> 00:02:54,053 Speaker 2: In the TV series, when you're watching it, you're going, 55 00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:56,373 Speaker 2: it's kind of unrealistic that everyone keeps starting fights with 56 00:02:56,413 --> 00:02:58,773 Speaker 2: this guy because he's so massive, Right, that's on the 57 00:02:58,813 --> 00:03:02,333 Speaker 2: TV series, But in real life people do that. And 58 00:03:02,573 --> 00:03:04,333 Speaker 2: the guy got his beans And it's great to. 59 00:03:04,293 --> 00:03:06,572 Speaker 3: Watch an original video. And I've got to go see 60 00:03:06,573 --> 00:03:09,373 Speaker 3: the body cam that Ellen had on himself. But yeah, 61 00:03:09,453 --> 00:03:11,453 Speaker 3: I mean from what you see in the TMZ video 62 00:03:11,493 --> 00:03:13,213 Speaker 3: and clearly it was cut in the context was on 63 00:03:13,333 --> 00:03:16,133 Speaker 3: the air, But that neighbor looked like the worst type 64 00:03:16,173 --> 00:03:18,613 Speaker 3: of neighbor. Many people have that sort of neighbor. They 65 00:03:18,693 --> 00:03:21,093 Speaker 3: think the kernel of the street, the colonel or the 66 00:03:21,133 --> 00:03:24,172 Speaker 3: could sack. They make the rules, they try and tell 67 00:03:24,213 --> 00:03:27,173 Speaker 3: everybody off, and then you're right when he fell off 68 00:03:27,213 --> 00:03:28,613 Speaker 3: his bike because the guy made him. 69 00:03:28,653 --> 00:03:30,412 Speaker 2: He didn't get off his bite. He put his brakes 70 00:03:30,413 --> 00:03:33,292 Speaker 2: on and went over his handlebars to stop himself running 71 00:03:33,293 --> 00:03:34,732 Speaker 2: into this stickhead. 72 00:03:34,853 --> 00:03:37,253 Speaker 3: It only took one sucker punch to the stomach though, 73 00:03:37,253 --> 00:03:38,973 Speaker 3: to put him on the crown real fast. 74 00:03:39,813 --> 00:03:43,213 Speaker 2: Absolutely. But you know, the other the other thing with 75 00:03:43,293 --> 00:03:46,493 Speaker 2: this is if Alan Richson hadn't been wearing the body cam. 76 00:03:46,813 --> 00:03:48,653 Speaker 2: So if he hadn't had a cam on him, then 77 00:03:48,693 --> 00:03:50,893 Speaker 2: that guy's story because the guy is obviously set up 78 00:03:50,893 --> 00:03:52,933 Speaker 2: to film it. He might have been trying to run 79 00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:55,173 Speaker 2: a scam on the guy. Ye you know, you you've 80 00:03:55,213 --> 00:03:57,773 Speaker 2: got a rich, you know, Hollywood actor in your neighborhood, 81 00:03:57,773 --> 00:03:59,653 Speaker 2: maybe you try and set something up so you can 82 00:03:59,693 --> 00:04:03,293 Speaker 2: see him. I don't know. But the guy obviously didn't 83 00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:07,573 Speaker 2: know that Jack Reachel was was wearing a body cam, 84 00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:09,893 Speaker 2: and so the whole story came out. But if it 85 00:04:09,893 --> 00:04:12,013 Speaker 2: had been different and he hadn't been wearing that camera, 86 00:04:12,133 --> 00:04:14,573 Speaker 2: then the story that that guy put out there would 87 00:04:14,573 --> 00:04:16,332 Speaker 2: have just been the narrative that you receive. 88 00:04:16,493 --> 00:04:16,653 Speaker 6: Right. 89 00:04:16,773 --> 00:04:19,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, So as they're going to get to a point 90 00:04:19,293 --> 00:04:21,973 Speaker 2: at some point where where everyone's just walking around wearing 91 00:04:22,333 --> 00:04:25,893 Speaker 2: having dash cams, body cams, you know, stunning hit like that. 92 00:04:25,973 --> 00:04:27,773 Speaker 3: You know, there's so many of those videos of the 93 00:04:27,773 --> 00:04:31,173 Speaker 3: insurance scams where someone will you come in front of 94 00:04:31,173 --> 00:04:33,093 Speaker 3: you and then slam on the brakes, you go into 95 00:04:33,133 --> 00:04:34,613 Speaker 3: the back of them and then they claim a bit 96 00:04:34,653 --> 00:04:36,693 Speaker 3: of an insurance cam scam.

Scientists are exploring the 137 00:06:19,693 --> 00:06:24,333 Speaker 3: idea of creating headless human bodies, often called bodyoids, growing 138 00:06:24,413 --> 00:06:27,613 Speaker 3: from stem cells. So these bodies would be deliberately engineered 139 00:06:27,653 --> 00:06:31,533 Speaker 3: without brains, meaning they wouldn't be conscious or feel pain. 140 00:06:32,093 --> 00:06:34,493 Speaker 3: So the guys behind this, and it's got a heck 141 00:06:34,533 --> 00:06:36,293 Speaker 3: of a lot of backing and big money, but they 142 00:06:36,293 --> 00:06:38,053 Speaker 3: want to do this because they want to grow organs 143 00:06:38,053 --> 00:06:41,293 Speaker 3: for transplants, helping solve the shortages that you see around 144 00:06:41,333 --> 00:06:43,933 Speaker 3: the world, to test drugs safely without risking real people, 145 00:06:44,133 --> 00:06:47,013 Speaker 3: and also to reduce animal testing in research. 146 00:06:47,853 --> 00:06:49,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the name of the company that's looking at 147 00:06:49,533 --> 00:06:53,133 Speaker 2: doing It's called something terrifying Immortal Dragons. Immortal Dragons. It's 148 00:06:53,173 --> 00:06:55,653 Speaker 2: a terrifying name. If you're going to do something terrifying 149 00:06:55,693 --> 00:06:59,253 Speaker 2: like this, give yourself your company like a less terrifying name. Yeah, 150 00:06:59,493 --> 00:07:04,573 Speaker 2: Modern bio Research or something not Immortal Dragons. But what 151 00:07:04,653 --> 00:07:06,733 Speaker 2: do you think about this? So, I mean, it'd be 152 00:07:06,733 --> 00:07:08,093 Speaker 2: a horror show if you walked in the door and 153 00:07:08,493 --> 00:07:10,933 Speaker 2: that imagine walking into the lab where that's going on, 154 00:07:11,013 --> 00:07:13,773 Speaker 2: and you just see a bunch of headless bodies to 155 00:07:13,853 --> 00:07:17,813 Speaker 2: be farmed. But also they can grow blood. And we 156 00:07:17,893 --> 00:07:19,493 Speaker 2: have all these problems We've talked about this on the 157 00:07:19,533 --> 00:07:24,453 Speaker 2: show before that, the problems around organ transplants, the problems 158 00:07:24,453 --> 00:07:27,133 Speaker 2: around blood donations and stuff. So what do you think 159 00:07:27,173 --> 00:07:29,093 Speaker 2: about this? Yeah, there's a good idea. It's a while away. 160 00:07:29,093 --> 00:07:31,333 Speaker 2: They're only doing it with monkeys at the moment. But 161 00:07:31,453 --> 00:07:33,653 Speaker 2: that's not because they don't have the technology. That's because 162 00:07:33,693 --> 00:07:36,533 Speaker 2: they just don't they don't have the it's you know, 163 00:07:36,573 --> 00:07:39,813 Speaker 2: the ethical ethically speaking, it's that they can't do it 164 00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:40,373 Speaker 2: legally yet. 165 00:07:40,453 --> 00:07:42,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fine balance, but we want your thoughts 166 00:07:42,453 --> 00:07:44,293 Speaker 3: on that. After two o'clock. What do you reckon about 167 00:07:44,293 --> 00:07:46,573 Speaker 3: the ethics? And would you take an organ from a 168 00:07:46,853 --> 00:07:50,133 Speaker 3: headless human body? That is after two o'clock, I would 169 00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:51,373 Speaker 3: just put it out there right now. 170 00:07:51,813 --> 00:07:53,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's quite a thing to say. 171 00:07:53,533 --> 00:07:56,013 Speaker 3: It certainly is right.

Air 181 00:08:22,853 --> 00:08:26,053 Speaker 3: New Zealand is looking at the situation as we speak, 182 00:08:26,453 --> 00:08:29,293 Speaker 3: but airlines across the world are having to cut flights left, 183 00:08:29,333 --> 00:08:31,813 Speaker 3: right and center because of that disruption and the price 184 00:08:31,853 --> 00:08:32,333 Speaker 3: of fuel. 185 00:08:32,373 --> 00:08:33,413 Speaker 2: So the question we've got for. 186 00:08:33,373 --> 00:08:36,293 Speaker 3: You is, are you re looking at the trips that 187 00:08:36,333 --> 00:08:38,892 Speaker 3: you need to book and this year?

Wish we'd booked two weeks ago, But 209 00:09:28,892 --> 00:09:30,773 Speaker 3: hard to know whether we should book now in case 210 00:09:30,773 --> 00:09:33,093 Speaker 3: it gets worse or hold off and maybe it will 211 00:09:33,132 --> 00:09:33,573 Speaker 3: get better. 212 00:09:33,612 --> 00:09:35,973 Speaker 2: Wish I had a crystal ball. See that's the thing 213 00:09:36,053 --> 00:09:41,053 Speaker 2: that is concerning, right, So our airlines setting the price 214 00:09:41,132 --> 00:09:47,093 Speaker 2: in the future, predicting what will happen politically, Yeah, and 215 00:09:47,213 --> 00:09:49,933 Speaker 2: which case you could be left with really expensive flights 216 00:09:50,093 --> 00:09:52,053 Speaker 2: once all the stuff is sorted out in you know, 217 00:09:52,093 --> 00:09:53,893 Speaker 2: six weeks. It's a tricky one, isn't it. 218 00:09:53,973 --> 00:09:56,053 Speaker 3: So what do you say, are you trying to book 219 00:09:56,093 --> 00:09:58,213 Speaker 3: your travel well in advance or are you holding off 220 00:09:58,213 --> 00:10:01,613 Speaker 3: for the time being hoping that the situation resolves itself 221 00:10:01,653 --> 00:10:04,132 Speaker 3: and those prices start to fall. Oh, eight hundred and 222 00:10:04,173 --> 00:10:06,612 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Nine two 223 00:10:06,732 --> 00:10:09,372 Speaker 3: ninety two is the text number. Well, it is sixteen 224 00:10:09,413 --> 00:10:09,852 Speaker 3: past one. 225 00:10:10,813 --> 00:10:14,292 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 226 00:10:14,533 --> 00:10:19,412 Speaker 1: everything in between.

Jetstar is the 230 00:10:28,453 --> 00:10:30,973 Speaker 3: latest to drop the number of flights by twelve percent 231 00:10:31,012 --> 00:10:34,453 Speaker 3: because of the rise and jet fuel prices. But another element, 232 00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:36,772 Speaker 3: and there's a texture that just comes through the skidday guys. 233 00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:40,053 Speaker 3: Travel agents with something of the past that not betting 234 00:10:40,093 --> 00:10:43,012 Speaker 3: me people use anymore, But I'd say you'd need them 235 00:10:43,053 --> 00:10:46,372 Speaker 3: more than ever in today's climate. It is so fast 236 00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:48,813 Speaker 3: moving and so complex that if you're not using a 237 00:10:48,852 --> 00:10:52,132 Speaker 3: travel agent, particularly if you're going overseas, then you're a mug. 238 00:10:52,333 --> 00:10:56,973 Speaker 2: Travel agents are the best of us. Travel agents trapped 239 00:10:57,573 --> 00:11:00,453 Speaker 2: can't speak. Travel agents are fantastic. I've never used one, 240 00:11:00,573 --> 00:11:02,813 Speaker 2: aren't you. I'm back on the travel agent heart. Yeah, 241 00:11:02,933 --> 00:11:06,813 Speaker 2: it's just if you're organizing anything concept complex. They take 242 00:11:06,852 --> 00:11:12,012 Speaker 2: a personal responsibility of the situation. They have knowledge, they 243 00:11:12,053 --> 00:11:15,293 Speaker 2: live and breathe it. The a go to when you 244 00:11:15,333 --> 00:11:19,172 Speaker 2: want to change anything or think about anything you work through, 245 00:11:19,612 --> 00:11:23,173 Speaker 2: you travel with them. Travel agents are great and everyone 246 00:11:23,213 --> 00:11:24,893 Speaker 2: thought they'd be wiped out, but I think you need 247 00:11:24,892 --> 00:11:30,133 Speaker 2: them more than ever with the absolute hellhole of bollocks 248 00:11:30,173 --> 00:11:32,333 Speaker 2: you get online trying to book stuff. 249 00:11:32,372 --> 00:11:34,693 Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I love that because you know, we've got 250 00:11:34,693 --> 00:11:37,612 Speaker 3: some flights booked towards Christmas because we've got a wedding 251 00:11:37,653 --> 00:11:40,693 Speaker 3: down in Nelson. But I'm still worried that something's going 252 00:11:40,773 --> 00:11:42,653 Speaker 3: to happen to that flight. We were hoping to get over 253 00:11:42,693 --> 00:11:45,453 Speaker 3: to Australia over Christmas. But having a travel agent there 254 00:11:45,813 --> 00:11:47,493 Speaker 3: that takes away a lot of my worries, because my 255 00:11:47,533 --> 00:11:49,732 Speaker 3: worry is what if there are disruptions? Am I going 256 00:11:49,773 --> 00:11:51,652 Speaker 3: to get a refund? Are they going to put me 257 00:11:51,693 --> 00:11:53,412 Speaker 3: on a flight that doesn't work? All of that sort 258 00:11:53,413 --> 00:11:55,532 Speaker 3: of stuff. You've got a travel agent involved in that. 259 00:11:55,533 --> 00:11:58,213 Speaker 3: They keep you up to date, right, They are following everything. Yeah, 260 00:11:58,252 --> 00:12:01,613 Speaker 3: they are sending you emails saying hey, this has been canceled, 261 00:12:01,612 --> 00:12:03,373 Speaker 3: but don't worry. I've sort of at your refund or 262 00:12:03,413 --> 00:12:05,933 Speaker 3: I've got you on to this flight that nobody else 263 00:12:05,973 --> 00:12:06,453 Speaker 3: knows about. 264 00:12:06,773 --> 00:12:12,333 Speaker 2: Don't just book it, Thomas cook it, Thomas had gone. Yeah, 265 00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:15,573 Speaker 2: so are you using the travel agent to navigate these 266 00:12:15,573 --> 00:12:18,732 Speaker 2: difficult times of navigating around the world. There's a type 267 00:12:18,732 --> 00:12:22,732 Speaker 2: of person in this country now that is driving me crazy, 268 00:12:23,453 --> 00:12:34,013 Speaker 2: just the perpetual chicken licken, negative catastrophizing. Everything's terrible, person, 269 00:12:34,492 --> 00:12:36,813 Speaker 2: and everything's terrible, So everyone should be in the gutter 270 00:12:36,892 --> 00:12:39,213 Speaker 2: with them.

Yes, a lot 274 00:12:48,533 --> 00:12:49,532 Speaker 2: of people can afford to fly. 275 00:12:49,653 --> 00:12:51,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a lot of people are doing it.

There's a lot of 361 00:16:29,813 --> 00:16:33,613 Speaker 2: people that travel and are buying flights and eating delicious 362 00:16:33,893 --> 00:16:36,613 Speaker 2: hot cross blunds apparently.

Doesn't necessarily matter. 365 00:16:43,173 --> 00:16:46,292 Speaker 7: Doesn't necessarily matter. No, So this week alone, I've had 366 00:16:46,293 --> 00:16:49,053 Speaker 7: two in New Zealand flights canceled. They just call the 367 00:16:49,053 --> 00:16:51,773 Speaker 7: pen if the flight is not full, so then you're 368 00:16:51,853 --> 00:16:56,053 Speaker 7: left to kind of struggle with getting back on another flight. 369 00:16:57,333 --> 00:16:59,773 Speaker 7: And the latest one is my daughter. 370 00:16:59,493 --> 00:17:00,573 Speaker 11: Who is twenty. 371 00:17:00,693 --> 00:17:04,453 Speaker 7: She has her partner, lives in Scotland and they come 372 00:17:04,533 --> 00:17:08,213 Speaker 7: up and down through the country, up through the world 373 00:17:08,373 --> 00:17:10,613 Speaker 7: a couple of times a year each. They've booked to 374 00:17:10,653 --> 00:17:13,693 Speaker 7: meet in China in two weeks and she booked a 375 00:17:13,693 --> 00:17:18,533 Speaker 7: way in advance. The flight was canceled last night. She yep, 376 00:17:18,653 --> 00:17:21,693 Speaker 7: and she has accommodation, everything paid for. And you know, 377 00:17:21,773 --> 00:17:24,453 Speaker 7: the young people, they're trying to work hard and get 378 00:17:24,453 --> 00:17:26,812 Speaker 7: to hear that, live their lives with it and travel. 379 00:17:26,933 --> 00:17:30,853 Speaker 7: So it's extremely disappointing. I do really like your point 380 00:17:30,853 --> 00:17:34,013 Speaker 7: of going back to travel agents though, because years ago 381 00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:37,373 Speaker 7: we used them. Yeah, and now we are inclined to 382 00:17:37,493 --> 00:17:41,933 Speaker 7: just book directly with the with their airlines, aren't we. However, 383 00:17:42,773 --> 00:17:45,453 Speaker 7: this China airline, you can't get hold of anybody to 384 00:17:45,493 --> 00:17:46,333 Speaker 7: reach you, you or anything. 385 00:17:46,373 --> 00:17:47,253 Speaker 12: It's just canceled. 386 00:17:47,293 --> 00:17:50,373 Speaker 7: So good point about the well you. 387 00:17:50,333 --> 00:17:53,333 Speaker 2: Haven't, you haven't. I'm so sorry. That's so gutting for 388 00:17:53,333 --> 00:17:55,493 Speaker 2: your daughter. I'm so sorry to hear that, Lisa, because 389 00:17:55,533 --> 00:17:57,933 Speaker 2: you should be looking forward to it. It's all planned 390 00:17:57,933 --> 00:17:59,813 Speaker 2: and to have that drug pooled out from underneath you 391 00:17:59,893 --> 00:18:02,573 Speaker 2: is horrible. But the Yeah, the thing with the travel 392 00:18:02,613 --> 00:18:04,693 Speaker 2: agent is you have an advocate for you. You have 393 00:18:04,773 --> 00:18:10,573 Speaker 2: someone who's personally responsible to trying to sort out your situation, 394 00:18:10,733 --> 00:18:13,093 Speaker 2: and that that's so good as a bunch of people. 395 00:18:13,133 --> 00:18:15,573 Speaker 2: The text thing you know this Texas says, the one 396 00:18:15,573 --> 00:18:17,973 Speaker 2: time I had an emergency overseas, my travel agent rebooked 397 00:18:17,973 --> 00:18:20,613 Speaker 2: my tickets within hours and I flew home straight away. 398 00:18:21,013 --> 00:18:24,533 Speaker 2: That's from from Neil. So there is there is that. 399 00:18:24,493 --> 00:18:26,533 Speaker 7: It is very true. Yes, went up to New York 400 00:18:26,573 --> 00:18:29,093 Speaker 7: a year ago and New Zealand council that flight, that 401 00:18:29,253 --> 00:18:32,973 Speaker 7: New York threat to New Zealand and straight on as 402 00:18:33,013 --> 00:18:36,133 Speaker 7: everyone would have been scrambling straight on to the to 403 00:18:36,253 --> 00:18:39,133 Speaker 7: the agent. I had booked it through that and they 404 00:18:39,173 --> 00:18:40,812 Speaker 7: just rebooked us on the next flight and we were 405 00:18:40,813 --> 00:18:44,653 Speaker 7: actually really fortunate. So yeah, yeah, maybe maybe need to 406 00:18:44,693 --> 00:18:47,053 Speaker 7: go back old school a bit and utilize these people 407 00:18:47,053 --> 00:18:48,773 Speaker 7: because they've got you know, they can go straight into 408 00:18:48,813 --> 00:18:50,773 Speaker 7: the channels, they can see what's available. 409 00:18:50,373 --> 00:18:52,053 Speaker 2: They've got the context, you know, they've got all the 410 00:18:52,093 --> 00:18:52,733 Speaker 2: systems in place. 411 00:18:52,773 --> 00:18:54,333 Speaker 3: You're right, and it does feel like a little bit 412 00:18:54,413 --> 00:18:56,013 Speaker 3: or a roll of the dice at the moment where 413 00:18:56,053 --> 00:18:58,853 Speaker 3: particularly with international travel. So to have someone who's got 414 00:18:58,853 --> 00:19:02,213 Speaker 3: your back when you know it's there's high potential for disruption, 415 00:19:02,573 --> 00:19:04,053 Speaker 3: that's gold, that's right. 416 00:19:04,213 --> 00:19:06,453 Speaker 7: And the other things to watch out for is insurance. 417 00:19:06,493 --> 00:19:09,173 Speaker 7: So we booked insurance is a book your flight, You're 418 00:19:09,253 --> 00:19:11,893 Speaker 7: just need travel insurance.

We've probably 507 00:23:14,133 --> 00:23:15,773 Speaker 14: do it ourselves, but the whole group it was that 508 00:23:15,853 --> 00:23:17,413 Speaker 14: just made everything so much easier. 509 00:23:17,453 --> 00:23:20,373 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, where you're staying if you don't mind 510 00:23:20,413 --> 00:23:23,053 Speaker 2: me asking, somewhere. 511 00:23:22,693 --> 00:23:23,813 Speaker 12: Called Timber or Sands. 512 00:23:23,813 --> 00:23:25,532 Speaker 14: I think it's near Singapoka. 513 00:23:27,733 --> 00:23:30,133 Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, because I mean by the time you've got 514 00:23:30,613 --> 00:23:32,933 Speaker 2: all those moving parts of all those different people, that's 515 00:23:32,973 --> 00:23:34,653 Speaker 2: just a absolute head. 516 00:23:35,613 --> 00:23:38,373 Speaker 3: They can do the look this is a naive question, 517 00:23:38,453 --> 00:23:40,653 Speaker 3: but a travel agent. So for example, we're thinking about 518 00:23:40,653 --> 00:23:44,013 Speaker 3: a wider family trip over to Ossie for Christmas because 519 00:23:44,053 --> 00:23:46,653 Speaker 3: the older bros over the air? Can they sort out everybody? 520 00:23:46,693 --> 00:23:48,693 Speaker 3: If I say, can you please sort out seven people? 521 00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:49,253 Speaker 2: They'll do that. 522 00:23:50,453 --> 00:23:50,653 Speaker 15: Well. 523 00:23:50,893 --> 00:23:52,853 Speaker 14: Funny enough at the moment is what I'm saying. With 524 00:23:52,893 --> 00:23:55,613 Speaker 14: the Sliders, we're getting our kitchen done right. So we've 525 00:23:55,613 --> 00:23:57,173 Speaker 14: gone through a designer. I on't everyone has done that, 526 00:23:57,173 --> 00:23:59,693 Speaker 14: but even all your bloody mates, and we're going to 527 00:23:59,693 --> 00:24:02,333 Speaker 14: have just a order, you know. Whereas with the designer, 528 00:24:02,453 --> 00:24:04,493 Speaker 14: it was like everything that has laid out, it's exactly 529 00:24:04,533 --> 00:24:07,693 Speaker 14: the same process. It's the same thought process that we 530 00:24:07,813 --> 00:24:10,453 Speaker 14: know where we've then they're organized and everything. We know 531 00:24:10,493 --> 00:24:12,493 Speaker 14: when people are coming and it's exactly the same with 532 00:24:12,533 --> 00:24:13,533 Speaker 14: the blight travel. 533 00:24:13,213 --> 00:24:15,413 Speaker 8: And that you know, it's exactly the same for me. 534 00:24:16,293 --> 00:24:18,213 Speaker 8: There's a bit of costs, but you know where it. 535 00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:20,573 Speaker 14: I mean, even with the kitchen especially you you exactly 536 00:24:20,573 --> 00:24:22,933 Speaker 14: what we're getting charged with the travel agent, we don't. 537 00:24:23,013 --> 00:24:24,933 Speaker 14: But at the end of the day, mate, they're doing 538 00:24:24,933 --> 00:24:27,133 Speaker 14: a good job and I don't have to worry about it. 539 00:24:27,373 --> 00:24:29,213 Speaker 2: Well, there's there's a cost to your time and the 540 00:24:29,293 --> 00:24:31,213 Speaker 2: level of stress you're willing to take on board and 541 00:24:31,213 --> 00:24:33,693 Speaker 2: the effect that has on you know, what you do 542 00:24:34,093 --> 00:24:37,453 Speaker 2: for a living and there's a huge that stress and 543 00:24:37,533 --> 00:24:40,373 Speaker 2: complexities that you bring in.

You obviously never heard of the five year 571 00:25:41,133 --> 00:25:44,213 Speaker 3: reset hack. Apply for credit every where you can, use 572 00:25:44,253 --> 00:25:46,813 Speaker 3: a made up address, makes everything out and pull it 573 00:25:46,813 --> 00:25:49,213 Speaker 3: as cash. Deck collectors don't know where you are. Debts 574 00:25:49,253 --> 00:25:51,693 Speaker 3: are written off after five years in a clift from 575 00:25:51,693 --> 00:25:53,293 Speaker 3: your credit history, rinse and repeat. 576 00:25:53,493 --> 00:25:55,573 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a good strategy. I mean, 577 00:25:55,733 --> 00:25:58,253 Speaker 2: well played to here, but anyone unless they do not 578 00:25:58,373 --> 00:26:00,453 Speaker 2: do that, you'll be on the run for the rest 579 00:26:00,453 --> 00:26:02,133 Speaker 2: of your life. Should we just accept that everyone in 580 00:26:02,173 --> 00:26:04,413 Speaker 2: New Zealand is living on the streets? Is this texta 581 00:26:04,533 --> 00:26:06,453 Speaker 2: I take your point that it's not it's not just 582 00:26:06,493 --> 00:26:08,453 Speaker 2: dooming Glenn, But I also remember being told that you 583 00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:12,333 Speaker 2: judge society by the way it looks after its most vulnerable. Maybe, 584 00:26:12,333 --> 00:26:17,333 Speaker 2: but if you can't discuss anything, and people are being 585 00:26:17,373 --> 00:26:20,853 Speaker 2: shamed for buying or spending anything, and people are claiming 586 00:26:20,853 --> 00:26:24,013 Speaker 2: that no one can travel because we're all starving, then 587 00:26:24,133 --> 00:26:27,053 Speaker 2: that's not the best way to go forward. That's a 588 00:26:27,093 --> 00:26:29,293 Speaker 2: totally different question. Sure you should try and look after 589 00:26:29,293 --> 00:26:32,653 Speaker 2: the most vulnerable. Absolutely, And as a country, we pump 590 00:26:32,813 --> 00:26:35,093 Speaker 2: so much money into our social welfare system and our 591 00:26:35,133 --> 00:26:41,253 Speaker 2: safety net. We pump so much in there, but we're 592 00:26:41,253 --> 00:26:43,213 Speaker 2: not much of a society if we don't move forward 593 00:26:43,293 --> 00:26:48,173 Speaker 2: and the people with money spend the money. Because people 594 00:26:48,173 --> 00:26:53,133 Speaker 2: don't spend money, then nothing works nothing, No businesses work 595 00:26:53,173 --> 00:26:55,653 Speaker 2: without people spending money. Anyone that's trying to let's just 596 00:26:55,653 --> 00:26:57,853 Speaker 2: say a bakery because we were talking about pie as yesterday. 597 00:26:58,693 --> 00:27:03,453 Speaker 2: If you're hassling people for buying hot cross buns because 598 00:27:03,853 --> 00:27:06,253 Speaker 2: there's some people on the street right now, then you're 599 00:27:06,253 --> 00:27:07,853 Speaker 2: going to have more people on the street because that 600 00:27:07,933 --> 00:27:09,973 Speaker 2: baker isn't going to be able to run a business, 601 00:27:09,973 --> 00:27:12,213 Speaker 2: are they. Yeah, we've got to spend money. It's just zero. 602 00:27:12,333 --> 00:27:15,413 Speaker 2: Some thinking it's because some people are struggling, and a 603 00:27:15,413 --> 00:27:17,933 Speaker 2: lot of the claims about struggle up political people just 604 00:27:17,973 --> 00:27:20,453 Speaker 2: want to use a rod and say, look, look these 605 00:27:20,493 --> 00:27:23,013 Speaker 2: people are having a tough time and use a rod 606 00:27:23,053 --> 00:27:26,053 Speaker 2: to beat everyone else up. But you've got it. You've 607 00:27:26,053 --> 00:27:28,253 Speaker 2: got to celebrate spending. Oh exactly. 608 00:27:28,293 --> 00:27:30,453 Speaker 3: But even there takes that come through and says we're 609 00:27:30,493 --> 00:27:33,453 Speaker 3: out of touch. I mean, really, I've booked two flights 610 00:27:33,453 --> 00:27:35,453 Speaker 3: in the next twelve months.

The agent was actually able to save us 685 00:30:45,653 --> 00:30:49,133 Speaker 2: a lot of money, not cost us more. They often 686 00:30:49,173 --> 00:30:51,693 Speaker 2: get better flight and hotel details than the public cans. 687 00:30:52,253 --> 00:30:58,613 Speaker 2: Another one you get travel agents. Hey you, Angela, Hello, Hello, Hello. 688 00:30:58,813 --> 00:31:00,813 Speaker 17: I could talk for hours about this at the Hope, 689 00:31:00,813 --> 00:31:05,973 Speaker 17: but I won't. I've just come back from a seven 690 00:31:06,013 --> 00:31:09,973 Speaker 17: week trip to Europe week my fiftieth birthday, because I 691 00:31:10,013 --> 00:31:12,693 Speaker 17: said I'd be on the Eiffel Tower on my fiftieth birthday, 692 00:31:12,773 --> 00:31:15,613 Speaker 17: So I used a combo of the travel life. 693 00:31:15,653 --> 00:31:17,693 Speaker 2: Did you just just just to stop you there for 694 00:31:17,693 --> 00:31:21,013 Speaker 2: a second, angel did you did you successfully pull that off? 695 00:31:21,013 --> 00:31:23,413 Speaker 2: Were you on the Eiffel Tower at your birthday? 696 00:31:24,573 --> 00:31:28,613 Speaker 17: A champagne in my hand and I went to the summit? Yeah, 697 00:31:28,653 --> 00:31:30,213 Speaker 17: it was awesome, It was awesome. 698 00:31:30,613 --> 00:31:31,813 Speaker 2: Congratulations, well done. 699 00:31:32,773 --> 00:31:36,453 Speaker 18: But we were just combo of a travel agent and 700 00:31:36,533 --> 00:31:40,093 Speaker 18: I did some self booking, and to be fear, probably 701 00:31:40,133 --> 00:31:43,133 Speaker 18: the only disaster I had was with something I self booked, 702 00:31:44,013 --> 00:31:46,413 Speaker 18: because literally I got to the hotel and there was 703 00:31:46,493 --> 00:31:49,533 Speaker 18: mould up the wolves and a shower that I couldn't 704 00:31:49,533 --> 00:31:53,253 Speaker 18: even put myself in. But having the travel agent was 705 00:31:53,293 --> 00:31:55,893 Speaker 18: great because literally after that I ran her and said, look, 706 00:31:56,213 --> 00:31:58,173 Speaker 18: I don't think I could do any of this other 707 00:31:58,333 --> 00:32:00,773 Speaker 18: self book stuff. So she took care of everything else 708 00:32:00,813 --> 00:32:04,253 Speaker 18: for me, which was amazing, We had one little hack 709 00:32:04,333 --> 00:32:09,253 Speaker 18: up where my husband arrived and seeing WOOT and couldn't 710 00:32:09,293 --> 00:32:13,453 Speaker 18: find a transfer, and she was able to get a 711 00:32:13,493 --> 00:32:16,373 Speaker 18: refund on that because they had not waited where they. 712 00:32:16,253 --> 00:32:18,573 Speaker 17: Were supposed to wait, So that was really good too. 713 00:32:19,773 --> 00:32:21,853 Speaker 18: But you know, just having her to fall back on 714 00:32:22,053 --> 00:32:26,853 Speaker 18: was awesome. And yeah, it was a great trip. 715 00:32:26,893 --> 00:32:27,613 Speaker 17: It was fabulous. 716 00:32:27,653 --> 00:32:31,293 Speaker 18: But what I will say is, no matter what western 717 00:32:31,333 --> 00:32:33,293 Speaker 18: country you go to in the world, at the moment, 718 00:32:33,453 --> 00:32:36,893 Speaker 18: every single one is facing the same challenges that we're 719 00:32:36,893 --> 00:32:40,413 Speaker 18: facing in New Zealand. You know, we're actually really lucky 720 00:32:40,493 --> 00:32:42,413 Speaker 18: with what we have. I spoke to one guy in 721 00:32:42,453 --> 00:32:45,493 Speaker 18: Italy and they don't even have a minimum wage over there, 722 00:32:45,533 --> 00:32:48,373 Speaker 18: and some of those guys are getting eight arrows an hour, 723 00:32:48,493 --> 00:32:51,733 Speaker 18: which is like sixteen bucks an hour here, and their 724 00:32:51,813 --> 00:32:56,893 Speaker 18: costs probably twice, if not three times, what we're paying 725 00:32:56,893 --> 00:32:59,213 Speaker 18: here for things like power and fuel and. 726 00:32:59,053 --> 00:32:59,933 Speaker 17: All sorts of stuff. 727 00:32:59,973 --> 00:33:04,253 Speaker 18: So we're actually incredibly lucky in this country, and I've 728 00:33:04,293 --> 00:33:06,173 Speaker 18: come back feeling very happy that I lived here. 729 00:33:06,453 --> 00:33:09,213 Speaker 2: Well, brilliant. When you were to your story, I can't 730 00:33:09,253 --> 00:33:10,973 Speaker 2: what was that what's that sign that goes at the 731 00:33:11,013 --> 00:33:16,213 Speaker 2: age of thirty seven? Yeah, you're sort of the opposite 732 00:33:16,253 --> 00:33:18,933 Speaker 2: of that when when you realize you'd never ride through Paris. 733 00:33:19,533 --> 00:33:21,453 Speaker 2: I don't think it's up the Oulpha Tower, but you're 734 00:33:21,493 --> 00:33:23,493 Speaker 2: not that at the age of fifty, you're at the 735 00:33:23,533 --> 00:33:24,653 Speaker 2: Oval Tower, and good on you. 736 00:33:26,053 --> 00:33:28,133 Speaker 18: And then I had to know in Venice the same day, 737 00:33:28,293 --> 00:33:29,653 Speaker 18: so that was pretty awesome too. 738 00:33:30,133 --> 00:33:32,053 Speaker 17: It was fabulous. It really was. 739 00:33:33,093 --> 00:33:36,413 Speaker 18: On a sad note, my daughter was supposed to be 740 00:33:36,453 --> 00:33:39,493 Speaker 18: going on a classic trip to Greece and Italy and 741 00:33:39,573 --> 00:33:43,813 Speaker 18: leaving next Saturday, and they have canceled that trip because 742 00:33:44,133 --> 00:33:47,173 Speaker 18: they we're having a five hour layover in Dubai and 743 00:33:47,213 --> 00:33:50,053 Speaker 18: the school wasn't prepared to take the risk of setting 744 00:33:50,093 --> 00:33:53,613 Speaker 18: that start to that layover, which I feel is just 745 00:33:53,773 --> 00:33:56,093 Speaker 18: so yep, it's so short sighted, and. 746 00:33:56,053 --> 00:34:00,573 Speaker 2: That they're going to be perfectly fine at a layover 747 00:34:00,613 --> 00:34:03,213 Speaker 2: for five hours in Dubai. Yeah. God, some people at 748 00:34:03,293 --> 00:34:04,453 Speaker 2: chicken lickings. 749 00:34:04,813 --> 00:34:05,013 Speaker 19: Yeah. 750 00:34:05,133 --> 00:34:07,893 Speaker 18: And it really frustrates that the kids were so hard. 751 00:34:07,893 --> 00:34:10,893 Speaker 18: It was over eleven thousand dollars for this trap. The 752 00:34:11,013 --> 00:34:14,852 Speaker 18: insurance won't cover the cancelation because it's an act of war. 753 00:34:16,413 --> 00:34:19,013 Speaker 18: Just hoping that they can get some of their money backed. 754 00:34:19,013 --> 00:34:20,133 Speaker 18: I'll get their flights back. 755 00:34:20,293 --> 00:34:26,773 Speaker 2: But other than that, that's when that's when fearful people 756 00:34:27,253 --> 00:34:29,853 Speaker 2: think they're being compassionate, but they're actually being cruel. Yeah, 757 00:34:29,853 --> 00:34:33,373 Speaker 2: because they are fearful people. Yeah. That that that guts me. 758 00:34:33,533 --> 00:34:36,293 Speaker 2: That's so annoying. I'm sorry to hear that, Angela, but 759 00:34:36,333 --> 00:34:38,533 Speaker 2: I'm glad you got to spend your fiftieth up the 760 00:34:38,573 --> 00:34:42,692 Speaker 2: Eiffel Tower.

I mean, obviously I've been listening 784 00:35:41,293 --> 00:35:44,493 Speaker 21: to what your people have been saying, and I mean 785 00:35:44,493 --> 00:35:46,333 Speaker 21: we do everything that they say we do, but I 786 00:35:46,373 --> 00:35:48,413 Speaker 21: think with a true value of what we do comes 787 00:35:48,453 --> 00:35:51,573 Speaker 21: out when there's an event like the current one. So 788 00:35:51,653 --> 00:35:54,373 Speaker 21: to give you a bit of an example, when obviously 789 00:35:54,413 --> 00:35:57,173 Speaker 21: it broke on Sunday the twenty eighth of feet or 790 00:35:57,173 --> 00:35:59,973 Speaker 21: whatever data was. You know a lot of agents that 791 00:36:00,053 --> 00:36:03,013 Speaker 21: I know, we're on their computers that day looking at 792 00:36:03,053 --> 00:36:05,253 Speaker 21: who did they have a way, where were they and 793 00:36:05,293 --> 00:36:07,693 Speaker 21: how could they help them. I was in contact with 794 00:36:07,733 --> 00:36:10,373 Speaker 21: a couple of the UK and had them rebooked in 795 00:36:10,453 --> 00:36:13,573 Speaker 21: our new Flights home within a couple of hours. So 796 00:36:14,453 --> 00:36:20,133 Speaker 21: we get access to policies from airlines and information from 797 00:36:20,173 --> 00:36:22,893 Speaker 21: the airlines, which means when the clients get impacted, we 798 00:36:22,973 --> 00:36:24,573 Speaker 21: can straight away just get in there and do what 799 00:36:24,573 --> 00:36:26,413 Speaker 21: we need to do. You don't have to be on 800 00:36:26,493 --> 00:36:28,853 Speaker 21: hold for seven or eight hours to the airline. You 801 00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:30,533 Speaker 21: don't have to try and work out what the rules 802 00:36:30,533 --> 00:36:33,013 Speaker 21: are or what the terms are. So I think that's 803 00:36:33,053 --> 00:36:34,973 Speaker 21: where our value really comes into play. 804 00:36:35,133 --> 00:36:36,693 Speaker 2: Have you seen an uptick now, Liz. 805 00:36:37,973 --> 00:36:38,773 Speaker 21: An uptick in? 806 00:36:39,973 --> 00:36:41,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot. 807 00:36:41,573 --> 00:36:46,373 Speaker 21: To be fair, we're back to pre COVID sort of 808 00:36:46,573 --> 00:36:50,973 Speaker 21: customer travels.

So. 835 00:37:58,053 --> 00:38:02,333 Speaker 2: I'm only familiar with the Ballad of Lucy Jordan, the 836 00:38:02,333 --> 00:38:04,813 Speaker 2: Mary and Faithful version. Yes, it was actually written by 837 00:38:05,013 --> 00:38:08,333 Speaker 2: Shelle Silverstone and the first version of it was recorded 838 00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:11,133 Speaker 2: by Doctor Hook in the Medicine Show. So I'm so 839 00:38:11,173 --> 00:38:12,453 Speaker 2: sorry that I mocked you. 840 00:38:12,533 --> 00:38:14,893 Speaker 3: Thank you mate, thank you bad person.

Her version 843 00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:24,093 Speaker 2: was the first, because that's the version I know yeah, 844 00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:26,933 Speaker 2: but which is odd because I love Doctor Howk. I'm 845 00:38:26,933 --> 00:38:28,933 Speaker 2: a big fan of Doctor Hock. So many, so many 846 00:38:28,973 --> 00:38:30,973 Speaker 2: great songs.

This hour. Hey, at the 866 00:39:53,373 --> 00:39:55,333 Speaker 2: end of the last hour, we were talking about the 867 00:39:55,333 --> 00:39:58,333 Speaker 2: Ballad of Lucy Jordan, Mary and Faithful. Yes, I didn't 868 00:39:58,373 --> 00:40:00,373 Speaker 2: realize what it's such a dark song that was. I 869 00:40:00,453 --> 00:40:02,773 Speaker 2: thought that at the age of thirty seven she imagined 870 00:40:02,773 --> 00:40:06,133 Speaker 2: all the stuff and then it actually happened. But a 871 00:40:06,173 --> 00:40:08,652 Speaker 2: bunch of people texting in have you actually looked into grim? 872 00:40:08,693 --> 00:40:13,333 Speaker 2: That song is? So at the end who and she 873 00:40:13,413 --> 00:40:15,333 Speaker 2: bowed and curtsyed to the man who reached out and 874 00:40:15,373 --> 00:40:17,333 Speaker 2: off to her hand and led her down to the 875 00:40:17,373 --> 00:40:21,533 Speaker 2: long white car that waited past the crowd. So she 876 00:40:21,533 --> 00:40:23,573 Speaker 2: gets taken away. She lost her mind. So the long 877 00:40:23,613 --> 00:40:26,293 Speaker 2: white car is the ambulance taken away because she's gone 878 00:40:26,333 --> 00:40:29,733 Speaker 2: fully mental. Well, that's sad and past the crowd. I 879 00:40:29,773 --> 00:40:31,493 Speaker 2: never listened to the end of that song. It's such 880 00:40:31,493 --> 00:40:33,573 Speaker 2: a nice song. I just assumed that at the age 881 00:40:33,573 --> 00:40:35,813 Speaker 2: of thirty seven she realized she'd never ride through Paris 882 00:40:35,813 --> 00:40:37,732 Speaker 2: in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair. 883 00:40:39,053 --> 00:40:41,693 Speaker 2: That eventually, and by the end of the song, she 884 00:40:41,733 --> 00:40:43,813 Speaker 2: does get to do that. I thought that's what happened. 885 00:40:44,133 --> 00:40:47,093 Speaker 2: So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there, 886 00:40:47,133 --> 00:40:51,613 Speaker 2: softly singing pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized in her daddy's 887 00:40:51,653 --> 00:40:53,453 Speaker 2: easy chesh Oh, she's gone crazy. 888 00:40:53,613 --> 00:40:56,293 Speaker 3: Oh, poor old Lucy Jordan, She's gone crazy. I mean 889 00:40:56,333 --> 00:40:58,133 Speaker 3: that's the thing with songs, isn't it. They're so beautiful 890 00:40:58,133 --> 00:41:00,652 Speaker 3: and so nice. Yeah, I mean, you never really delve 891 00:41:00,733 --> 00:41:02,773 Speaker 3: too deep into the nitty gritty of the meaning of 892 00:41:02,773 --> 00:41:03,093 Speaker 3: a song. 893 00:41:03,213 --> 00:41:05,133 Speaker 2: I don't anyway, now. I thought the last verse was 894 00:41:05,133 --> 00:41:07,133 Speaker 2: something like at thirty eight she did get to go 895 00:41:07,213 --> 00:41:09,692 Speaker 2: to Paris, of it through Paris with the sports car 896 00:41:09,773 --> 00:41:11,773 Speaker 2: with a woman here. That would have been a nice arending. 897 00:41:11,813 --> 00:41:16,613 Speaker 2: Yet she was committed all right after overdosing. Good to 898 00:41:16,653 --> 00:41:18,373 Speaker 2: clarify that. Thank you to those Dixters there. 899 00:41:18,413 --> 00:41:21,773 Speaker 3: Just before we get into our next discussion about headless humans, 900 00:41:22,093 --> 00:41:24,653 Speaker 3: there's a thought experiment that's been doing the rounds online. 901 00:41:24,693 --> 00:41:26,533 Speaker 3: So that is, if you were to go back in 902 00:41:26,613 --> 00:41:29,013 Speaker 3: time one hundred years, with all the knowledge you have 903 00:41:29,173 --> 00:41:32,533 Speaker 3: right now, what could you offer humanity in that time 904 00:41:32,573 --> 00:41:35,213 Speaker 3: to make things better? So all the new technology we have, 905 00:41:35,653 --> 00:41:39,613 Speaker 3: all that extra knowledge, breakthroughs, advance advancements, all of the 906 00:41:39,653 --> 00:41:41,973 Speaker 3: things that you know right now, if you were put 907 00:41:42,013 --> 00:41:44,172 Speaker 3: back in time one hundred years, what could you tell 908 00:41:44,213 --> 00:41:47,133 Speaker 3: those people to say, hey, I've got some advancements and 909 00:41:47,173 --> 00:41:48,252 Speaker 3: some tech to pass on. 910 00:41:48,853 --> 00:41:50,213 Speaker 2: What would be the one thing you could do? 911 00:41:50,253 --> 00:41:52,973 Speaker 3: And it made me think of this clip from comedian 912 00:41:53,413 --> 00:41:55,373 Speaker 3: Nate Bergetski, and here it is. 913 00:41:55,653 --> 00:41:57,773 Speaker 25: I've thought about it like time travel, Like if I 914 00:41:57,813 --> 00:42:01,773 Speaker 25: went back in time knowing everything I know now, I 915 00:42:01,773 --> 00:42:07,493 Speaker 25: don't think I would make a difference. I don't think 916 00:42:07,533 --> 00:42:10,533 Speaker 25: you would even hear about it. If I went back 917 00:42:10,533 --> 00:42:12,773 Speaker 25: to the twenties and I like saw some guy on 918 00:42:12,813 --> 00:42:15,493 Speaker 25: like an old phone, I'd be like, hey, eventually they 919 00:42:15,493 --> 00:42:18,093 Speaker 25: have phones you just carry in your pocket, and he'd 920 00:42:18,093 --> 00:42:19,453 Speaker 25: be like, yeah, how do they do it? It's like, 921 00:42:20,053 --> 00:42:24,613 Speaker 25: you know, I mean I don't know. I don't know 922 00:42:24,613 --> 00:42:27,853 Speaker 25: how they're doing it. It's like a satellite or something, 923 00:42:28,893 --> 00:42:30,293 Speaker 25: and they're like, what's the satellite? 924 00:42:30,373 --> 00:42:32,053 Speaker 1: Well, I shouldn't have even brought that up. 925 00:42:32,093 --> 00:42:38,333 Speaker 25: Then it's like a round metal dish or something that 926 00:42:38,453 --> 00:42:41,813 Speaker 25: that's gonna go pretty high in the air. I honestly 927 00:42:41,933 --> 00:42:46,853 Speaker 25: don't think I could prove I'm from the future. I mean, 928 00:42:48,413 --> 00:42:52,173 Speaker 25: they would want some proof, you know, who's the next president. 929 00:42:52,333 --> 00:42:56,893 Speaker 2: Oh boy, such a good point when he sees you 930 00:42:56,893 --> 00:42:58,853 Speaker 2: wouldn't even hear about it, so he went back in time, 931 00:42:58,893 --> 00:43:00,732 Speaker 2: and he'd make so little difference that it would never 932 00:43:00,733 --> 00:43:03,173 Speaker 2: even make the history books that someone went back. Yeah, 933 00:43:03,213 --> 00:43:04,973 Speaker 2: it's a good point. I think if you went back 934 00:43:04,973 --> 00:43:07,493 Speaker 2: in time, you'd probably just be a liability. Most of 935 00:43:07,573 --> 00:43:09,933 Speaker 2: us would be tough, useless, right, we couldn't even make 936 00:43:09,973 --> 00:43:12,133 Speaker 2: fire out and we couldn't make a shelter. 937 00:43:12,453 --> 00:43:14,533 Speaker 3: You'd end up like Lucy Jordan. They take it, they 938 00:43:14,613 --> 00:43:16,853 Speaker 3: cut your way and say you're you're crazy. So they 939 00:43:16,933 --> 00:43:18,533 Speaker 3: got this thing called the internet. I was, how does 940 00:43:18,573 --> 00:43:18,853 Speaker 3: that work? 941 00:43:18,933 --> 00:43:24,093 Speaker 2: Don't know how the internet works? I mean, yeah, your phone, 942 00:43:24,573 --> 00:43:26,613 Speaker 2: that's a good one. There's most people there's not a 943 00:43:26,653 --> 00:43:29,053 Speaker 2: single thing in their phone that they know how it 944 00:43:29,133 --> 00:43:32,692 Speaker 2: works or even what it does. Yeah, you imagine trying 945 00:43:32,693 --> 00:43:33,973 Speaker 2: to explain bluetooth to someone. 946 00:43:34,933 --> 00:43:37,093 Speaker 3: I don't understand how it works. Hope it works, and 947 00:43:37,093 --> 00:43:39,652 Speaker 3: when it doesn't, I get annoyed. But thank god, some 948 00:43:39,693 --> 00:43:41,692 Speaker 3: sparkys might be able to do some stuff. Is there 949 00:43:41,733 --> 00:43:43,053 Speaker 3: an electrician you went back? 950 00:43:43,573 --> 00:43:46,212 Speaker 2: Could you invent a light bulb? I mean there's been, 951 00:43:46,333 --> 00:43:48,812 Speaker 2: but you'd probably be a worse plumber if you went back, 952 00:43:49,333 --> 00:43:53,533 Speaker 2: because you know, plumbing now involves a lot of pre 953 00:43:53,653 --> 00:43:57,173 Speaker 2: made you know, plastic fittings that are much easier to 954 00:43:57,173 --> 00:43:59,253 Speaker 2: put together. Judging by when I put a sink in 955 00:43:59,293 --> 00:44:01,093 Speaker 2: the other day, yeah it was very easy. But there's 956 00:44:01,093 --> 00:44:01,653 Speaker 2: no bunnings. 957 00:44:01,733 --> 00:44:03,333 Speaker 3: So even if you've got all that plumbing knowledge and 958 00:44:03,373 --> 00:44:06,573 Speaker 3: say all you need is some PVC I pvc, are. 959 00:44:06,453 --> 00:44:11,573 Speaker 2: We the most useless humans that have ever existed? Practically speaking? 960 00:44:11,853 --> 00:44:16,373 Speaker 2: I think would be up there average, you know, across average, 961 00:44:16,413 --> 00:44:20,933 Speaker 2: because there's some genius, absolute genius engineers out there, there's 962 00:44:20,933 --> 00:44:22,773 Speaker 2: no doubt of it. And there's some people the smartest 963 00:44:22,773 --> 00:44:27,213 Speaker 2: people imaginea will exist out there, But the average everyday 964 00:44:27,293 --> 00:44:31,373 Speaker 2: human would be dumber and more useless than a hunter 965 00:44:31,413 --> 00:44:35,893 Speaker 2: and gatherer because at least they know how to make 966 00:44:35,973 --> 00:44:41,853 Speaker 2: snails on wilderbeast pie exactly. At least they would not 967 00:44:41,933 --> 00:44:46,253 Speaker 2: understand the seasons they were resourceful. In fact, I read 968 00:44:46,253 --> 00:44:49,653 Speaker 2: this book once and they reckoned looking at bones and 969 00:44:49,693 --> 00:44:54,293 Speaker 2: stuff that our ancestors, hundred and gather ancestors would basically 970 00:44:54,373 --> 00:44:57,293 Speaker 2: win every event at the Olympics now because they're outside, 971 00:44:57,333 --> 00:45:02,813 Speaker 2: they're hardcore, just balls of muscle, absolutely with a complete 972 00:45:02,893 --> 00:45:05,893 Speaker 2: knowledge of all of nature. You go back there, Tyler, 973 00:45:06,373 --> 00:45:08,573 Speaker 2: and they and you say, well, what did you do 974 00:45:08,613 --> 00:45:09,933 Speaker 2: in your time? And you're like, I used to talk 975 00:45:09,933 --> 00:45:12,493 Speaker 2: into a microphone to some people, Like we're with the people. 976 00:45:12,533 --> 00:45:15,733 Speaker 2: I don't know they were around the country. I ice 977 00:45:15,773 --> 00:45:19,213 Speaker 2: to talk into this padded microphone about stuff in the news. 978 00:45:19,493 --> 00:45:21,133 Speaker 2: They kick you out of the drive, so they leave 979 00:45:21,173 --> 00:45:23,253 Speaker 2: that guy behind these of no use to it. We 980 00:45:23,453 --> 00:45:26,813 Speaker 2: don't need any broadcasters. We do need someone that can 981 00:45:26,893 --> 00:45:29,693 Speaker 2: kill a mammoth, ye and skin it. Don't give that 982 00:45:29,733 --> 00:45:33,613 Speaker 2: guy any mammoth rights. Thank you to all those ticks 983 00:45:33,653 --> 00:45:36,173 Speaker 2: coming through. There's plenty coming through. But we want to 984 00:45:36,173 --> 00:45:38,493 Speaker 2: have a chat about this. So scientists are exploring the 985 00:45:38,533 --> 00:45:41,613 Speaker 2: idea of creating these headless human bodies, so. 986 00:45:41,653 --> 00:45:44,853 Speaker 3: Often called bodyoids. These are growing from stem cells, and 987 00:45:44,893 --> 00:45:47,893 Speaker 3: these bodies would be deliberately engineered without brains, meaning they 988 00:45:47,933 --> 00:45:50,813 Speaker 3: wouldn't be conscious or feel pain. So they want to 989 00:45:50,813 --> 00:45:53,652 Speaker 3: do this for several reasons. One to grow organs for transplants, 990 00:45:53,693 --> 00:45:56,973 Speaker 3: hoping to solve shortages worldwide. They want to test drugs 991 00:45:56,973 --> 00:45:59,493 Speaker 3: safely without risking real people, and they also want to 992 00:45:59,493 --> 00:46:02,853 Speaker 3: reduce animal testing in research. The concept is becoming more 993 00:46:02,893 --> 00:46:06,493 Speaker 3: realistic thanks to advancers in stem cell science and artificial 994 00:46:06,573 --> 00:46:09,813 Speaker 3: womb technology. But there is a big issue here. It 995 00:46:09,853 --> 00:46:13,213 Speaker 3: does for many people raise major ethical concerns. Many people 996 00:46:13,213 --> 00:46:16,453 Speaker 3: find the idea disturbing in question whether they're creating human 997 00:46:16,533 --> 00:46:21,853 Speaker 3: like bodies even without heads or consciousness, crosses a moral line. 998 00:46:23,173 --> 00:46:24,493 Speaker 2: So can you get your thoughts on that? 999 00:46:24,653 --> 00:46:27,652 Speaker 3: Is there an ethical dilemma there? If you create a 1000 00:46:27,773 --> 00:46:31,613 Speaker 3: human body, it doesn't have a brain, it cannot think, 1001 00:46:31,813 --> 00:46:32,813 Speaker 3: it cannot feel pain. 1002 00:46:34,093 --> 00:46:37,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you harvest it for its organs. It's interesting 1003 00:46:37,053 --> 00:46:42,333 Speaker 2: because these ones now that the humans that they don't 1004 00:46:42,333 --> 00:46:45,573 Speaker 2: have the go ahead to do it on humans yet, 1005 00:46:45,613 --> 00:46:47,853 Speaker 2: so they're doing it with monkeys. It takes nine years 1006 00:46:47,893 --> 00:46:52,013 Speaker 2: to build something that's producing organs that you might be 1007 00:46:52,053 --> 00:46:55,213 Speaker 2: able to take out and use for something else. It's terrifying, 1008 00:46:55,253 --> 00:46:55,573 Speaker 2: isn't it. 1009 00:46:56,053 --> 00:46:58,732 Speaker 3: Would you take if you needed an organ and they said, 1010 00:46:58,733 --> 00:47:00,093 Speaker 3: we've got these body ooids. 1011 00:47:00,413 --> 00:47:03,453 Speaker 2: They don't really have a brain, but they will grow 1012 00:47:03,453 --> 00:47:07,053 Speaker 2: functional organs, systems, lungs, kidneys, hearts. I mean, we have 1013 00:47:07,093 --> 00:47:11,573 Speaker 2: a massive problem worth organ donation. We've got huge lists, 1014 00:47:11,613 --> 00:47:13,813 Speaker 2: four hundred people on the lists right now in New Zealand. 1015 00:47:13,853 --> 00:47:19,013 Speaker 2: I believe for organ donations we need blood, yes, constantly 1016 00:47:19,053 --> 00:47:22,173 Speaker 2: having to, you know, encourage people to go and give blood. 1017 00:47:22,773 --> 00:47:25,333 Speaker 2: But this is a system where you just have some 1018 00:47:25,653 --> 00:47:30,853 Speaker 2: kind of headless being that's producing all the blood you 1019 00:47:30,933 --> 00:47:34,253 Speaker 2: need as well, Yeah, everything you need. So what's wrong 1020 00:47:34,293 --> 00:47:35,213 Speaker 2: with that? Wh wouldn't you do that? 1021 00:47:35,373 --> 00:47:37,213 Speaker 3: I would in a heartbeat if I needed a new 1022 00:47:37,333 --> 00:47:41,253 Speaker 3: organ and they created this, this headless human or bodyoid, 1023 00:47:41,613 --> 00:47:43,573 Speaker 3: I'd take it in a heartbeat, you know. I think 1024 00:47:43,573 --> 00:47:45,493 Speaker 3: on the ethical side of things, people say, well, it's 1025 00:47:45,493 --> 00:47:48,693 Speaker 3: one step before we've got a cloning situation. And you 1026 00:47:48,813 --> 00:47:51,573 Speaker 3: mentioned you know that great movie The Island with you 1027 00:47:51,693 --> 00:47:54,093 Speaker 3: and McGregor where they are cloning. 1028 00:47:53,693 --> 00:47:55,613 Speaker 2: And the very red people Scarlett Johanson. 1029 00:47:55,693 --> 00:47:58,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, great movie. But that's what some people are arguing 1030 00:47:58,213 --> 00:48:00,453 Speaker 3: to say. Where's the split between what they're doing Now? 1031 00:48:00,573 --> 00:48:03,573 Speaker 3: Then they start creating clones for wealthy people if anything 1032 00:48:03,613 --> 00:48:04,653 Speaker 3: goes wrong with their body. 1033 00:48:04,853 --> 00:48:06,732 Speaker 2: But it's all very well for people to say that's 1034 00:48:06,733 --> 00:48:08,773 Speaker 2: disgusting and I don't want any part of it. But 1035 00:48:08,853 --> 00:48:12,293 Speaker 2: then a loved one needs an organ transplant, and then 1036 00:48:12,333 --> 00:48:14,333 Speaker 2: I think you change your mind pretty quick, wouldn't you. Yeah, 1037 00:48:14,333 --> 00:48:16,212 Speaker 2: what do you say? Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty 1038 00:48:16,253 --> 00:48:19,172 Speaker 2: is that number to call? Nine to nine two. So 1039 00:48:19,413 --> 00:48:20,933 Speaker 2: humanoid organs. 1040 00:48:20,933 --> 00:48:23,253 Speaker 3: Would that be something that you have any problem with 1041 00:48:23,253 --> 00:48:24,893 Speaker 3: on an ethical side of things? Or is that the 1042 00:48:24,933 --> 00:48:27,933 Speaker 3: way forward? Nineteen ninety two is the text. 1043 00:48:27,773 --> 00:48:30,613 Speaker 2: Number as well, not those kind of organs. Mars, Yeah, 1044 00:48:30,653 --> 00:48:33,093 Speaker 2: come on, Mars and it's quarter past two. 1045 00:48:32,893 --> 00:48:37,493 Speaker 1: Wow, your home of afternoon Talk Matt Heathen, Taylor Adams 1046 00:48:37,533 --> 00:48:41,493 Speaker 1: Afternoons call. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty news Talk said, be. 1047 00:48:43,613 --> 00:48:46,213 Speaker 3: Very good afternoon, Judas eighteen pass two. Just before we 1048 00:48:46,493 --> 00:48:50,172 Speaker 3: get into the idea of these headless humans for organ 1049 00:48:50,213 --> 00:48:53,133 Speaker 3: transplants and other we've got a couple of texts and 1050 00:48:53,213 --> 00:48:55,773 Speaker 3: calls coming through on this thought experiment that's been doing 1051 00:48:55,773 --> 00:48:57,772 Speaker 3: the rounds online that if you went back in time 1052 00:48:57,813 --> 00:49:00,013 Speaker 3: one hundred years with the knowledge you have right now, 1053 00:49:00,013 --> 00:49:02,973 Speaker 3: what could you offer people in that time to make 1054 00:49:03,093 --> 00:49:03,733 Speaker 3: things better? 1055 00:49:03,933 --> 00:49:05,093 Speaker 2: Josh, how are you mate? 1056 00:49:05,653 --> 00:49:05,813 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1057 00:49:05,853 --> 00:49:07,853 Speaker 5: Hey, boys, yeah, I was cracking up about that. It's 1058 00:49:07,893 --> 00:49:10,813 Speaker 5: quite you don't well you could talk about that for age. 1059 00:49:10,653 --> 00:49:14,773 Speaker 26: Is how much intervention you go to I was thinking 1060 00:49:14,813 --> 00:49:19,733 Speaker 26: about hand washing. Hey, you imagine going back and introducing 1061 00:49:19,813 --> 00:49:24,733 Speaker 26: hand washing a bit earlier. I wonder what the ramifications 1062 00:49:24,813 --> 00:49:26,652 Speaker 26: moving forward though, would be, Like. 1063 00:49:26,933 --> 00:49:29,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, because there was there. There was that Hungarian guy, 1064 00:49:29,213 --> 00:49:31,493 Speaker 2: wasn't it who was telling everyone to wash their hands, 1065 00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:34,373 Speaker 2: especially around twelve childbirth and surgery, and everyone said he 1066 00:49:34,413 --> 00:49:37,333 Speaker 2: was crazy and he got discredited and the doctors took 1067 00:49:37,413 --> 00:49:40,853 Speaker 2: us that's right. But as soon as the surgeon started 1068 00:49:40,893 --> 00:49:43,933 Speaker 2: washing their hands, it saved so many babies and so 1069 00:49:44,053 --> 00:49:46,212 Speaker 2: many lives. I mean, that would be a great one 1070 00:49:46,213 --> 00:49:47,973 Speaker 2: to take back there. Just wash your hands, guys. 1071 00:49:48,053 --> 00:49:50,653 Speaker 1: Gym theory, yeah for sure, for sure. 1072 00:49:51,293 --> 00:49:52,652 Speaker 27: All right, yeah, that's all from me. 1073 00:49:52,773 --> 00:49:55,773 Speaker 2: But yeah, anything you can think of anything else. You 1074 00:49:55,773 --> 00:50:00,212 Speaker 2: couldn't explain how the tery works, Nah. 1075 00:49:59,973 --> 00:50:00,292 Speaker 8: I don't. 1076 00:50:00,333 --> 00:50:00,933 Speaker 28: I don't think. 1077 00:50:01,213 --> 00:50:05,212 Speaker 5: Nah, it's pretty hard because you didn't need the all 1078 00:50:05,293 --> 00:50:08,853 Speaker 5: the infrastructure and all the mechanics of the able to 1079 00:50:08,933 --> 00:50:12,133 Speaker 5: make that. So that the internet thing would be rather difficult. 1080 00:50:12,173 --> 00:50:15,013 Speaker 5: But perhaps a new kind of music, like be the 1081 00:50:15,053 --> 00:50:18,453 Speaker 5: first guy to invented a kind of music you already 1082 00:50:18,453 --> 00:50:19,053 Speaker 5: don't exist. 1083 00:50:19,253 --> 00:50:22,733 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like that that movie yesterday. Yes, you just 1084 00:50:22,773 --> 00:50:26,733 Speaker 2: start playing all the Beatles songs saying you wrote them. Yeah, Josh, 1085 00:50:26,733 --> 00:50:29,573 Speaker 2: thanks very much. Mates. Yeah, that's an interesting one though. 1086 00:50:29,573 --> 00:50:31,573 Speaker 2: But if you did go back and you said, look, 1087 00:50:32,133 --> 00:50:34,533 Speaker 2: we need you need to wash your hands, you said 1088 00:50:34,533 --> 00:50:36,453 Speaker 2: to the doctors, and they'd go and you go, why 1089 00:50:36,813 --> 00:50:41,013 Speaker 2: because there's these little little germs that are on your 1090 00:50:41,013 --> 00:50:44,173 Speaker 2: hands and they're killing and then you transfer them and 1091 00:50:44,173 --> 00:50:45,893 Speaker 2: they kill people and they let their germs. Yeah, could 1092 00:50:45,893 --> 00:50:47,373 Speaker 2: you tell us more about that? And you go, yeah, 1093 00:50:47,733 --> 00:50:49,453 Speaker 2: you just got to kill the germs. So this is 1094 00:50:49,453 --> 00:50:53,172 Speaker 2: these invisible things that are on our hands that are 1095 00:50:53,173 --> 00:50:57,933 Speaker 2: going into the patient and the these mothers at childbirth 1096 00:50:57,973 --> 00:51:01,453 Speaker 2: and that's killing them. Yeah, they'd go shut up, yep, 1097 00:51:02,253 --> 00:51:04,053 Speaker 2: and we're going to put you on a mentors. Yep, 1098 00:51:04,053 --> 00:51:07,813 Speaker 2: you are crazy. Yeah, yeah, oh one hundred eighty is 1099 00:51:07,853 --> 00:51:08,772 Speaker 2: the number to call. 1100 00:51:08,853 --> 00:51:12,253 Speaker 3: But we are also talking about this idea of headless humans. 1101 00:51:13,333 --> 00:51:15,693 Speaker 3: So this is it's in the works. 1102 00:51:15,493 --> 00:51:16,853 Speaker 2: At the moment. There's a lot of money being pumped 1103 00:51:16,853 --> 00:51:18,413 Speaker 2: into it. But well, they've already got the body always 1104 00:51:18,453 --> 00:51:22,893 Speaker 2: based on monkeys. Yes, that they are trying to develop 1105 00:51:22,973 --> 00:51:25,333 Speaker 2: this company to be used so you can do trials, 1106 00:51:25,333 --> 00:51:27,172 Speaker 2: because they do a lot of trials on mice, right, 1107 00:51:27,373 --> 00:51:29,853 Speaker 2: but mice aren't very close to humans, so a lot 1108 00:51:29,853 --> 00:51:32,413 Speaker 2: of medical pharmaceutical trials on mice and when it actually 1109 00:51:32,413 --> 00:51:35,133 Speaker 2: goes up to humans, mice is so different. From humans. 1110 00:51:35,173 --> 00:51:37,253 Speaker 2: I mean, look how close to their how short their 1111 00:51:37,293 --> 00:51:38,853 Speaker 2: throat is, and all those kind of things. You don't 1112 00:51:39,133 --> 00:51:41,573 Speaker 2: You can go mouse trials, rodent trials, and then it 1113 00:51:41,613 --> 00:51:44,533 Speaker 2: goes up to humans and just doesn't work. Yes, it's 1114 00:51:44,573 --> 00:51:48,533 Speaker 2: totally different physiology, a lot more danger. Yeah, but this 1115 00:51:48,653 --> 00:51:50,893 Speaker 2: is the idea is you get beings that are closer 1116 00:51:50,893 --> 00:51:54,733 Speaker 2: to humans, like apes, and without having to try the 1117 00:51:54,813 --> 00:52:00,093 Speaker 2: drugs or pharmaceutical procedures or surgical procedures on apes and 1118 00:52:00,293 --> 00:52:03,893 Speaker 2: ones like a chimpanzee, which people don't like that, they 1119 00:52:03,893 --> 00:52:05,893 Speaker 2: don't like the versection of it. You just make the 1120 00:52:06,253 --> 00:52:08,733 Speaker 2: organs and you and you make it so that you 1121 00:52:08,773 --> 00:52:12,333 Speaker 2: can do these experiments without any creature with a consciousness, conscience, 1122 00:52:12,413 --> 00:52:16,293 Speaker 2: or nervous system experiencing it. So they're already already doing it. 1123 00:52:16,453 --> 00:52:18,893 Speaker 2: So they essentially have the technology to do it with humans, 1124 00:52:18,893 --> 00:52:20,893 Speaker 2: they're just not allowed to yet. Hey guys, I'm confused. 1125 00:52:20,933 --> 00:52:26,813 Speaker 2: Without a brain, what is pumping blood ensuring functioning organs, 1126 00:52:26,853 --> 00:52:30,613 Speaker 2: et cetera. I mean, that's a really good question, because 1127 00:52:31,493 --> 00:52:36,093 Speaker 2: is it the medulla oblongata the medulla umbergata, which is 1128 00:52:36,133 --> 00:52:40,093 Speaker 2: the part of the it's in the it's that what 1129 00:52:40,373 --> 00:52:44,212 Speaker 2: controls breathing and all the automatic behaviors of humans. Right, 1130 00:52:44,293 --> 00:52:47,733 Speaker 2: it's in the brain stem, right, yep. So there's thoughts 1131 00:52:47,773 --> 00:52:49,533 Speaker 2: that we have, and then there's just the automatic stuff 1132 00:52:49,533 --> 00:52:50,893 Speaker 2: that's doing all the time that you don't. You don't 1133 00:52:50,973 --> 00:52:54,373 Speaker 2: remind yourself to breathe. It just does science, So I 1134 00:52:54,773 --> 00:52:58,013 Speaker 2: assume they can do that just by electrical impulses or 1135 00:52:58,093 --> 00:53:00,173 Speaker 2: some such. Yeah, if you don't have the brain, or 1136 00:53:00,213 --> 00:53:05,013 Speaker 2: maybe you have you know, maybe you have that part 1137 00:53:05,053 --> 00:53:07,333 Speaker 2: of it, but not the conscious part of the brain. 1138 00:53:07,373 --> 00:53:11,373 Speaker 2: Maybe you have the medulla oblongata sounds right, but you 1139 00:53:11,413 --> 00:53:14,693 Speaker 2: don't have the you don't have the prefrontal cortex. 1140 00:53:14,773 --> 00:53:17,093 Speaker 3: Yeah's interesting one, Yeah, interesting text. Oh one hundred and 1141 00:53:17,133 --> 00:53:19,373 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is that number to call? Nineteen ninety 1142 00:53:19,373 --> 00:53:23,093 Speaker 3: two is the text number. Plenty of calls lined up, 1143 00:53:23,173 --> 00:53:25,653 Speaker 3: so stand by. We will be back very shortly after 1144 00:53:25,933 --> 00:53:27,613 Speaker 3: we play some messages.

What they've made so far so 1155 00:53:55,933 --> 00:53:59,533 Speaker 2: clusters of working organs grown together, hearts, lungs, kidneys, hooked 1156 00:53:59,613 --> 00:54:02,933 Speaker 2: ups into a functioning biological system, but with no brain 1157 00:54:03,493 --> 00:54:09,013 Speaker 2: or nervous system. Sounds full on ethan, Welcome to the show. 1158 00:54:09,013 --> 00:54:09,533 Speaker 2: What do you reckon? 1159 00:54:10,813 --> 00:54:14,013 Speaker 29: Oh? Yeah, I do start to question the ethics on 1160 00:54:14,053 --> 00:54:21,453 Speaker 29: that at the moment, Like it sounds quite dystopian to say, 1161 00:54:21,533 --> 00:54:23,893 Speaker 29: put it lightly ideas, And you also need to start 1162 00:54:23,893 --> 00:54:26,773 Speaker 29: thinking like what else can can people start using these 1163 00:54:26,773 --> 00:54:31,013 Speaker 29: bodies for? Like they're sick depraved thoughts? 1164 00:54:31,213 --> 00:54:35,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, well there are. Wherever there's anything, there's sick depraved 1165 00:54:35,253 --> 00:54:37,613 Speaker 2: humans wanting to do sick behaves stuff to it, just 1166 00:54:37,653 --> 00:54:39,973 Speaker 2: like any part of everything we've done in any kind 1167 00:54:39,973 --> 00:54:40,732 Speaker 2: of technology. 1168 00:54:41,853 --> 00:54:44,812 Speaker 29: But and you just start to wonder, like where where 1169 00:54:44,813 --> 00:54:48,013 Speaker 29: where where we aren't humans? Like where we're creating these 1170 00:54:49,253 --> 00:54:53,093 Speaker 29: freaks of nature to do un speakable things to them? 1171 00:54:53,133 --> 00:54:55,933 Speaker 29: Like yes, they don't have consciousness, Yes, they don't feel anything, 1172 00:54:55,973 --> 00:54:58,573 Speaker 29: but like, I don't know. 1173 00:54:59,453 --> 00:55:04,333 Speaker 2: But but what about the fact that that people need 1174 00:55:04,493 --> 00:55:08,732 Speaker 2: these you know, people with children, people kids, There's all 1175 00:55:08,773 --> 00:55:10,533 Speaker 2: these kinds of people in the world that need organs 1176 00:55:10,533 --> 00:55:12,732 Speaker 2: and will die without them, and we just can't get 1177 00:55:12,853 --> 00:55:16,692 Speaker 2: enough from organ donation. So isn't there a whole heap 1178 00:55:16,733 --> 00:55:18,973 Speaker 2: of good in that kind of technology if you're essentially 1179 00:55:19,013 --> 00:55:23,652 Speaker 2: just growing a spire part that, Yeah. 1180 00:55:22,853 --> 00:55:25,213 Speaker 29: But I just start to question where our humority and 1181 00:55:25,253 --> 00:55:26,973 Speaker 29: then I. 1182 00:55:26,933 --> 00:55:29,773 Speaker 2: Mean, you get your questioning when it becomes a human. 1183 00:55:30,333 --> 00:55:34,373 Speaker 29: I guess, I guess, Yeah, how much of a human 1184 00:55:34,413 --> 00:55:35,933 Speaker 29: as human just our brain? 1185 00:55:36,013 --> 00:55:36,133 Speaker 6: Is it? 1186 00:55:36,293 --> 00:55:39,893 Speaker 2: Just well, that's interesting that you asked that, because that 1187 00:55:40,013 --> 00:55:42,213 Speaker 2: you know, they do studies on the human stomach and 1188 00:55:42,253 --> 00:55:45,453 Speaker 2: it has more neurons than a dog. So your your 1189 00:55:45,493 --> 00:55:49,253 Speaker 2: gut has got its own brain effectively. 1190 00:55:50,053 --> 00:55:52,613 Speaker 8: Yeah, you're second in the heads of half the time. 1191 00:55:52,773 --> 00:55:53,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1192 00:55:54,093 --> 00:55:55,973 Speaker 3: I get your point though, Ethan, is that I can 1193 00:55:56,053 --> 00:55:58,613 Speaker 3: see a lot of good coming out of this technology. 1194 00:55:58,613 --> 00:56:01,053 Speaker 3: But like a lot of these things, these are stepping 1195 00:56:01,133 --> 00:56:06,133 Speaker 3: stones to areas where right now we'd probably be aghast 1196 00:56:06,173 --> 00:56:07,453 Speaker 3: at at even getting to that point. 1197 00:56:07,493 --> 00:56:08,293 Speaker 2: But that's the whole point. 1198 00:56:08,453 --> 00:56:11,013 Speaker 3: When you go slowly, right that you kind of break 1199 00:56:11,093 --> 00:56:14,652 Speaker 3: down the defenses and the ethical standards we have if 1200 00:56:14,693 --> 00:56:17,813 Speaker 3: you go slowly but by berts, and then it slowly 1201 00:56:17,813 --> 00:56:20,573 Speaker 3: becomes a little bit easier for people to digest. But 1202 00:56:20,693 --> 00:56:23,053 Speaker 3: right now, I don't want to see full human clones 1203 00:56:23,093 --> 00:56:25,813 Speaker 3: being harvested for their organs. But this may if they 1204 00:56:25,813 --> 00:56:27,893 Speaker 3: get to that point, then it may make it easier 1205 00:56:28,453 --> 00:56:29,853 Speaker 3: to get that across the line. 1206 00:56:29,853 --> 00:56:33,373 Speaker 29: Imagine that as a thought of some sort of humanoid 1207 00:56:33,413 --> 00:56:34,893 Speaker 29: body just without a head. 1208 00:56:35,373 --> 00:56:39,533 Speaker 2: From that, well, it's a it's a horror show. We've 1209 00:56:39,573 --> 00:56:42,533 Speaker 2: seen it in sci fi movies, don't we. You walk 1210 00:56:42,573 --> 00:56:44,893 Speaker 2: into the wrong part of the lab and you come 1211 00:56:44,933 --> 00:56:48,212 Speaker 2: across this, I mean, that's that's a horror show, isn't it? 1212 00:56:48,213 --> 00:56:48,453 Speaker 1: It is? 1213 00:56:54,053 --> 00:56:54,212 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1214 00:56:54,333 --> 00:56:56,292 Speaker 2: I think he makes some fair points there. Bob says, 1215 00:56:56,333 --> 00:56:58,973 Speaker 2: we're a bag of meat that converts food into electricity. 1216 00:56:59,573 --> 00:57:02,493 Speaker 2: That our fligering, fiddling south then learns from other meat 1217 00:57:02,493 --> 00:57:07,013 Speaker 2: bags how to learn. Cheers Bob, So I reckon, he's 1218 00:57:07,053 --> 00:57:09,133 Speaker 2: just saying we're meat bags. We might as well have 1219 00:57:09,173 --> 00:57:12,093 Speaker 2: meat bags without heads making parts for other meat bags. 1220 00:57:12,253 --> 00:57:18,133 Speaker 2: We're all just organic meat baggs go for gold. Yeah. Yeah, 1221 00:57:18,413 --> 00:57:23,253 Speaker 2: but the thing is if you, yeah, you start off 1222 00:57:23,293 --> 00:57:24,933 Speaker 2: not doing the brains, and then someone wants to do 1223 00:57:24,973 --> 00:57:29,173 Speaker 2: the brains, right, yeah, and then you've got computers to run. 1224 00:57:29,253 --> 00:57:33,133 Speaker 2: You've got meat computers that are just four hundred humans 1225 00:57:33,133 --> 00:57:36,653 Speaker 2: consciousnesses linked together, that have no eyes and no ears, 1226 00:57:36,693 --> 00:57:40,453 Speaker 2: and a Helen Kelly airing up ideas for Hollywood movies 1227 00:57:40,533 --> 00:57:40,893 Speaker 2: or something. 1228 00:57:40,973 --> 00:57:43,293 Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number of calls. 1229 00:57:43,293 --> 00:57:45,453 Speaker 3: So is this a step too far? Can you see 1230 00:57:45,453 --> 00:57:48,613 Speaker 3: the god out of this sort of technology or the 1231 00:57:48,693 --> 00:57:51,453 Speaker 3: ethical considerations a little bit too grotesque for you? 1232 00:57:51,533 --> 00:57:53,373 Speaker 2: List says, Hey, Hi, Matt and Tyler love the show. 1233 00:57:53,373 --> 00:57:55,453 Speaker 2: If it doesn't have a head, why don't they just 1234 00:57:55,533 --> 00:57:57,813 Speaker 2: do the organs and the bits that are required. Where 1235 00:57:57,853 --> 00:57:59,693 Speaker 2: do they need the whole body? It seems like a 1236 00:57:59,693 --> 00:58:02,533 Speaker 2: lot of waste. I think it wouldn't look like a 1237 00:58:02,733 --> 00:58:05,973 Speaker 2: human body. I don't think it would just be strung 1238 00:58:06,053 --> 00:58:11,653 Speaker 2: together with the blood supply, so they probably wouldn't bother 1239 00:58:12,093 --> 00:58:14,693 Speaker 2: growing anything that they didn't need. Yeah, like it might 1240 00:58:14,733 --> 00:58:16,893 Speaker 2: not have hands. Yes, yeah, it's not going to look 1241 00:58:16,933 --> 00:58:18,733 Speaker 2: like an actual human body with no head. 1242 00:58:18,773 --> 00:58:19,173 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1243 00:58:19,213 --> 00:58:21,173 Speaker 2: I mean that was just my reading of the technology. 1244 00:58:21,453 --> 00:58:23,333 Speaker 2: It's disgusting.

So we're talking about this 1273 00:59:54,813 --> 00:59:55,733 Speaker 3: new company and it's. 1274 00:59:55,573 --> 00:59:57,573 Speaker 2: Got a lot of backing behind a lot of money. 1275 00:59:57,573 --> 01:00:02,333 Speaker 3: They are hoping to create headless humans and the reason 1276 01:00:02,373 --> 01:00:05,013 Speaker 3: for that there's actually another name that they call it 1277 01:00:05,053 --> 01:00:07,453 Speaker 3: which I've just lost bodyoid body words. Yeah, thank you, 1278 01:00:07,533 --> 01:00:09,893 Speaker 3: growing from Stem's and the reason they want to do that, 1279 01:00:09,893 --> 01:00:11,613 Speaker 3: it's actually for a lot of good because there's a 1280 01:00:11,653 --> 01:00:14,013 Speaker 3: massive problem around the world with the number of organs 1281 01:00:14,013 --> 01:00:17,733 Speaker 3: for transplants. There's a lot of shortages to test drugs 1282 01:00:17,773 --> 01:00:21,093 Speaker 3: safely without risking real people, because that's the only option 1283 01:00:21,173 --> 01:00:22,813 Speaker 3: they have at the moment as human trials for a 1284 01:00:22,813 --> 01:00:25,493 Speaker 3: lot of these groundbreaking drugs, and to reduce animal testing 1285 01:00:25,493 --> 01:00:26,013 Speaker 3: and research. 1286 01:00:26,413 --> 01:00:29,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they're already doing this with eight parts 1287 01:00:29,573 --> 01:00:34,693 Speaker 2: growing bits from primates, but they haven't got the ethical 1288 01:00:34,733 --> 01:00:36,773 Speaker 2: go ahead to do it with humans. This Texas says, 1289 01:00:36,813 --> 01:00:39,373 Speaker 2: I'd vote for these bodyoids. Now, I'm just wondering that 1290 01:00:39,453 --> 01:00:42,053 Speaker 2: they say they would vote for the existence of these bodyoids, 1291 01:00:42,253 --> 01:00:44,853 Speaker 2: and would they vote so people can make these bodyoids? 1292 01:00:44,973 --> 01:00:47,533 Speaker 2: Or are this person saying that they actually vote for 1293 01:00:47,613 --> 01:00:51,293 Speaker 2: the bodyoids and support the bodyoids putty and have the 1294 01:00:51,373 --> 01:00:55,533 Speaker 2: country run by a bunch of organ sacks without heads. 1295 01:00:55,533 --> 01:00:59,053 Speaker 2: I'd roll that dice. Let's see what happens. Wendy, how 1296 01:00:59,053 --> 01:01:00,773 Speaker 2: are you this afternoon? Yeah? 1297 01:01:00,853 --> 01:01:03,733 Speaker 20: Hi, good, thank you. Yeah. I just wanted to say 1298 01:01:03,933 --> 01:01:07,333 Speaker 20: I had to transfer up myself twenty three years ago, 1299 01:01:07,693 --> 01:01:09,773 Speaker 20: and a round about that time, there was discussion in 1300 01:01:09,813 --> 01:01:12,653 Speaker 20: the news around using organs from pigs. 1301 01:01:12,853 --> 01:01:14,173 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wow. 1302 01:01:14,293 --> 01:01:16,493 Speaker 20: I remember hearing that and thinking, someone said to me, 1303 01:01:16,533 --> 01:01:18,493 Speaker 20: would you take that? I said, like, actually, if it's 1304 01:01:18,533 --> 01:01:21,493 Speaker 20: been tested or whatever, I would take any liver from me, 1305 01:01:21,533 --> 01:01:23,813 Speaker 20: and it was a liver that I had transplanted. Obviously, 1306 01:01:24,573 --> 01:01:26,773 Speaker 20: I would take that from any animal if it was tested, 1307 01:01:26,813 --> 01:01:29,093 Speaker 20: as long as it worked and there was good proof 1308 01:01:29,213 --> 01:01:31,373 Speaker 20: that would work. But anyway, has it turned out? Of 1309 01:01:31,373 --> 01:01:33,693 Speaker 20: course I didn't so, but I think if they can 1310 01:01:33,733 --> 01:01:36,053 Speaker 20: do something like that, that's fantastic. I don't know if 1311 01:01:36,093 --> 01:01:37,933 Speaker 20: I like the whole idea of a human body but 1312 01:01:37,973 --> 01:01:40,813 Speaker 20: that's only for testing purposes of it or. 1313 01:01:40,893 --> 01:01:43,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, okay, Well well though the idea is 1314 01:01:44,613 --> 01:01:46,733 Speaker 2: that so it doesn't have a head, but you know, 1315 01:01:46,773 --> 01:01:48,653 Speaker 2: it doesn't have a consciousness, doesn't have a brain, so 1316 01:01:48,693 --> 01:01:51,453 Speaker 2: you're basically growing the organs. But I think a lot 1317 01:01:51,453 --> 01:01:57,053 Speaker 2: of people words maybe pause around having another humans or 1318 01:01:57,213 --> 01:01:58,533 Speaker 2: organ in them, you know. I mean that would have 1319 01:01:58,533 --> 01:02:00,173 Speaker 2: been a bit that you would have to had to 1320 01:02:00,213 --> 01:02:02,333 Speaker 2: have thought through India when you got the liver transport 1321 01:02:02,333 --> 01:02:03,813 Speaker 2: twenty three years. 1322 01:02:03,973 --> 01:02:06,093 Speaker 20: It's not only that you think through. You've put through 1323 01:02:06,133 --> 01:02:08,893 Speaker 20: a psychiatrists and everyone to know that you are, you know, 1324 01:02:09,453 --> 01:02:11,413 Speaker 20: able to cope with that, et cetera, et cetera. But 1325 01:02:11,493 --> 01:02:14,613 Speaker 20: of course I would because I had a young son 1326 01:02:15,013 --> 01:02:18,093 Speaker 20: who needed me and I hadn't done enough living really, 1327 01:02:18,133 --> 01:02:20,933 Speaker 20: of course, you know, I would have done whatever I 1328 01:02:21,013 --> 01:02:22,573 Speaker 20: could as long as I knew it was going to 1329 01:02:22,573 --> 01:02:23,453 Speaker 20: be a good outcome. 1330 01:02:23,573 --> 01:02:27,053 Speaker 2: And it's fantastic that that science has allowed that option 1331 01:02:27,173 --> 01:02:27,653 Speaker 2: to exist. 1332 01:02:27,693 --> 01:02:31,173 Speaker 20: In Wendy absolutely absolutely, and there is such a shortage. 1333 01:02:31,213 --> 01:02:34,493 Speaker 20: They really need to keep promoting organ donation, you know, 1334 01:02:34,533 --> 01:02:37,493 Speaker 20: as much as they can. But there has been I've 1335 01:02:37,493 --> 01:02:41,613 Speaker 20: heard recently quite a change from in the Marie culture. 1336 01:02:41,653 --> 01:02:44,693 Speaker 20: I believe, you know that don't normally like to be 1337 01:02:44,773 --> 01:02:49,453 Speaker 20: an augan donor. They don't approach that at all, But 1338 01:02:49,533 --> 01:02:52,413 Speaker 20: I believe that's now increasing. They're beginning to realize that 1339 01:02:53,853 --> 01:02:56,213 Speaker 20: it doesn't really matter where you liver came from. Actually, 1340 01:02:56,573 --> 01:02:57,973 Speaker 20: it doesn't change you in any way. 1341 01:02:58,213 --> 01:03:00,693 Speaker 2: How's your liver going? Wendy twenty three years on. 1342 01:03:00,853 --> 01:03:04,813 Speaker 20: Probably the best part of my boot is actually myself beest. 1343 01:03:05,533 --> 01:03:08,213 Speaker 2: And when you go through you said that there was 1344 01:03:08,413 --> 01:03:10,333 Speaker 2: of psychologists that helped you through. 1345 01:03:10,373 --> 01:03:10,973 Speaker 1: It was that right? 1346 01:03:11,613 --> 01:03:14,773 Speaker 2: And what's psychiatrists and what kind of things do they 1347 01:03:14,973 --> 01:03:19,933 Speaker 2: say to you? Do around what you think of the liver, 1348 01:03:20,013 --> 01:03:22,373 Speaker 2: because you now see that as that's part of Wendy 1349 01:03:22,413 --> 01:03:23,173 Speaker 2: write that liver. 1350 01:03:23,053 --> 01:03:25,333 Speaker 20: Now, yeah, I've had one some of the time. 1351 01:03:26,493 --> 01:03:28,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, but at the start you're like, I've got part 1352 01:03:28,573 --> 01:03:30,613 Speaker 2: of a deceased human being in me. 1353 01:03:30,693 --> 01:03:34,053 Speaker 20: I guess, first of all, it was a struggle for 1354 01:03:34,093 --> 01:03:36,253 Speaker 20: me to get to that stage any way, to be honest, 1355 01:03:36,573 --> 01:03:39,653 Speaker 20: I had one aborted transplant because before they were about 1356 01:03:39,733 --> 01:03:42,053 Speaker 20: to cut I was out cold and they had put 1357 01:03:42,093 --> 01:03:44,253 Speaker 20: flues in my body in bills and alarm and everything 1358 01:03:44,253 --> 01:03:47,293 Speaker 20: went top, so that one was aborted. So then there 1359 01:03:47,373 --> 01:03:49,813 Speaker 20: was a real need to work out how they were 1360 01:03:49,813 --> 01:03:51,093 Speaker 20: going to do this and what was going to happen 1361 01:03:51,173 --> 01:03:52,653 Speaker 20: and what was wrong and one needed to be fixed, 1362 01:03:52,653 --> 01:03:55,613 Speaker 20: et cetera. So I mean, I was desperate for anything. 1363 01:03:55,653 --> 01:04:00,053 Speaker 20: So they put you through the psychiatrist sort of session 1364 01:04:00,453 --> 01:04:03,333 Speaker 20: to see if you're mentally stable. I guess to go 1365 01:04:03,413 --> 01:04:06,333 Speaker 20: through that whole emotional process because yes, you do have 1366 01:04:06,413 --> 01:04:10,013 Speaker 20: somebody else's body part, and how do you think, you know, 1367 01:04:10,333 --> 01:04:12,813 Speaker 20: how do you cope the thought that a family has 1368 01:04:12,893 --> 01:04:16,333 Speaker 20: lost a human being, a son or daughter, wife, whatever, 1369 01:04:17,533 --> 01:04:18,933 Speaker 20: you know, how do you feel about that? And for 1370 01:04:18,973 --> 01:04:22,453 Speaker 20: the first few years I wrote letters and cards to 1371 01:04:22,573 --> 01:04:26,813 Speaker 20: my well, you send them into the actual organ donation theme. 1372 01:04:27,373 --> 01:04:29,533 Speaker 20: You don't know who it's come from, where it's come from, 1373 01:04:29,533 --> 01:04:32,813 Speaker 20: whether it being New Zealand or Australia. So and I 1374 01:04:32,893 --> 01:04:35,613 Speaker 20: kept on writing, but I never heard back. But I 1375 01:04:35,693 --> 01:04:39,333 Speaker 20: never ever forget the twenty three years that I've had 1376 01:04:39,373 --> 01:04:42,973 Speaker 20: where I've watched my assistic son grow from a young 1377 01:04:43,133 --> 01:04:46,853 Speaker 20: boy into a man to an adult, and also have 1378 01:04:46,933 --> 01:04:50,173 Speaker 20: the chance to see a lot of the world which 1379 01:04:50,213 --> 01:04:51,933 Speaker 20: I would never have been able to do. 1380 01:04:52,453 --> 01:04:56,413 Speaker 2: Yes, so that liver has allowed you to, you know, 1381 01:04:57,253 --> 01:05:00,173 Speaker 2: pass on love and caring to another human being. So 1382 01:05:00,293 --> 01:05:03,213 Speaker 2: not only helped you when doy, it's help the world. 1383 01:05:04,093 --> 01:05:08,453 Speaker 20: Yeah, and absolutely, and not only that. I'm on the 1384 01:05:08,453 --> 01:05:13,453 Speaker 20: their Facebook page for recipients and I do talk to 1385 01:05:13,533 --> 01:05:17,333 Speaker 20: many people waiting and I have supported a couple of 1386 01:05:17,333 --> 01:05:20,093 Speaker 20: people right up to the point of having their transplant 1387 01:05:20,133 --> 01:05:23,693 Speaker 20: in terms of meeting with them, talking with them. So 1388 01:05:23,893 --> 01:05:27,453 Speaker 20: it's just huge. It's a huge factor in your life. 1389 01:05:27,453 --> 01:05:29,493 Speaker 20: You know, it never goes away. I mean you don't 1390 01:05:29,533 --> 01:05:31,453 Speaker 20: even know, say sort of to get up had a transplant, 1391 01:05:31,493 --> 01:05:34,773 Speaker 20: I don't forget where it came from. And how the 1392 01:05:34,853 --> 01:05:37,453 Speaker 20: other family, you know, the other side on the other side, 1393 01:05:37,453 --> 01:05:40,093 Speaker 20: how that feeling. And every year we have a church 1394 01:05:41,573 --> 01:05:45,693 Speaker 20: think what do they call it a lost now something 1395 01:05:45,733 --> 01:05:48,813 Speaker 20: like that? Yes, Yes, and it's lovely because somebody gets 1396 01:05:48,893 --> 01:05:50,933 Speaker 20: up to speak from a family who's had a liver, 1397 01:05:51,093 --> 01:05:54,813 Speaker 20: or person who actually has had any organ actually transplanted, 1398 01:05:55,173 --> 01:05:57,453 Speaker 20: and or else somebody seeks from the donor family, and 1399 01:05:57,493 --> 01:06:00,693 Speaker 20: that's very emotional. But to hear the story of how 1400 01:06:01,173 --> 01:06:04,213 Speaker 20: they're so delighted it's gone to somebody who's actually sent 1401 01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:06,653 Speaker 20: them a letter and said what they've managed to achieve, 1402 01:06:07,293 --> 01:06:09,893 Speaker 20: you know, it's a maze. It's absally amazing. I think 1403 01:06:10,213 --> 01:06:13,373 Speaker 20: anybody who can, who's fit enough, should put their name forward, 1404 01:06:13,413 --> 01:06:17,013 Speaker 20: because really, once you've gone, you don't need that organ 1405 01:06:18,453 --> 01:06:21,093 Speaker 20: and tell your parents and family that's what you want 1406 01:06:21,173 --> 01:06:21,373 Speaker 20: to do. 1407 01:06:21,813 --> 01:06:25,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm so glad that twenty three years ago 1408 01:06:25,253 --> 01:06:27,853 Speaker 2: that was a possibility for you and that you've been 1409 01:06:27,893 --> 01:06:30,173 Speaker 2: around for your son. And you sound like a fan's 1410 01:06:30,333 --> 01:06:33,773 Speaker 2: fantastic human beings. Someone glad you're around for the world. 1411 01:06:33,853 --> 01:06:35,253 Speaker 2: So good on your Wendy. Thanks for calling. 1412 01:06:35,333 --> 01:06:36,853 Speaker 20: Thank you so much, man, thank you. 1413 01:06:36,973 --> 01:06:40,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, what a great call. So, I mean, that's that's 1414 01:06:40,813 --> 01:06:43,253 Speaker 2: the whole thing. So a lot of people are disgusted 1415 01:06:43,253 --> 01:06:45,693 Speaker 2: by it and talking about Frankenstein with these bodyoids, but 1416 01:06:46,733 --> 01:06:49,333 Speaker 2: and lock there a while away. They don't exist yet. 1417 01:06:49,333 --> 01:06:52,093 Speaker 2: They're just trying to get they can get the funding, 1418 01:06:52,453 --> 01:06:54,293 Speaker 2: if they got billions behind them, if they can get 1419 01:06:54,333 --> 01:06:57,293 Speaker 2: the ethica. It's the cool side across the line, you know, 1420 01:06:57,333 --> 01:07:00,933 Speaker 2: get the legal side sort it. But would you turn 1421 01:07:02,013 --> 01:07:04,333 Speaker 2: the ability to save someone's life who has a child 1422 01:07:04,413 --> 01:07:06,973 Speaker 2: to look after. Yeah, that's the balance, right, I mean 1423 01:07:07,013 --> 01:07:12,093 Speaker 2: whereas that if you and your squeamishness about running body 1424 01:07:12,333 --> 01:07:13,053 Speaker 2: part farms. 1425 01:07:13,173 --> 01:07:15,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, well like this things it says, I've always growing 1426 01:07:15,613 --> 01:07:18,733 Speaker 3: bodies for organs was fantastic. My brother just have had 1427 01:07:18,773 --> 01:07:22,053 Speaker 3: to have a pig implant put into his heart, and 1428 01:07:22,133 --> 01:07:24,893 Speaker 3: what do you think that poor pig had to sacrifice itself. 1429 01:07:24,893 --> 01:07:27,413 Speaker 3: Why not have these things growing and making human organs. 1430 01:07:27,533 --> 01:07:30,493 Speaker 3: It makes all the sense in the world. Go for it. 1431 01:07:30,653 --> 01:07:34,253 Speaker 2: Bring it on. This is a question that raises quite 1432 01:07:34,253 --> 01:07:37,173 Speaker 2: a horrible idea. Hey, guys, the body ooidshod have no 1433 01:07:37,253 --> 01:07:40,533 Speaker 2: reproductive ability, cheers Michelle. I mean because that's the other 1434 01:07:40,613 --> 01:07:42,493 Speaker 2: next part of it. They go, well, we're spending all 1435 01:07:42,533 --> 01:07:47,933 Speaker 2: our time making these body aids and growing them, and 1436 01:07:47,933 --> 01:07:50,933 Speaker 2: it takes nine years to grow them. It does, so 1437 01:07:51,493 --> 01:07:53,533 Speaker 2: you can imagine the next step going, well, why don't 1438 01:07:53,573 --> 01:07:54,293 Speaker 2: we just make it so. 1439 01:07:55,373 --> 01:07:58,373 Speaker 3: Short that by nine months they can reproduce themselves. Oh 1440 01:07:58,413 --> 01:08:00,293 Speaker 3: that's too far, But what do you say? 1441 01:08:00,293 --> 01:08:00,413 Speaker 6: Oh? 1442 01:08:00,453 --> 01:08:02,533 Speaker 3: On one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 1443 01:08:02,533 --> 01:08:05,973 Speaker 3: to call it? Is eighteen to three beg arutually. 1444 01:08:06,173 --> 01:08:10,333 Speaker 1: The big stories of big issues, the trends, and everything 1445 01:08:10,373 --> 01:08:14,253 Speaker 1: in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adam's Afternoons with Skoda 1446 01:08:14,373 --> 01:08:18,253 Speaker 1: Please Scoter codes every day at scoter dot co. Used 1447 01:08:18,253 --> 01:08:19,772 Speaker 1: dogs'd be quarter to three. 1448 01:08:19,813 --> 01:08:22,213 Speaker 3: So is the idea of creating body ooids grown from 1449 01:08:22,253 --> 01:08:26,173 Speaker 3: stem cells deliberately engineered without brains so they couldn't feel 1450 01:08:26,213 --> 01:08:29,413 Speaker 3: pain or be conscious in order to increase organ transplants 1451 01:08:29,452 --> 01:08:31,333 Speaker 3: a good idea or too far ethically? 1452 01:08:31,612 --> 01:08:34,652 Speaker 2: Elliott says, well, these models are for laboratory laboratory use. 1453 01:08:34,732 --> 01:08:38,052 Speaker 2: The aim is to replicate natural organ to organ blood 1454 01:08:38,053 --> 01:08:42,772 Speaker 2: based interaction rather than using external mechanical machines to pump 1455 01:08:42,772 --> 01:08:46,692 Speaker 2: blood through these specific bodyoids. He's quoting the article and 1456 01:08:46,732 --> 01:08:50,972 Speaker 2: the traditional sense of body body hybrid robotic limbs. Take 1457 01:08:51,013 --> 01:08:52,412 Speaker 2: this with a grain of salt, as it's based on 1458 01:08:52,452 --> 01:08:55,572 Speaker 2: another company called R three Labs rather than the Immortal 1459 01:08:55,612 --> 01:09:00,612 Speaker 2: Dragon company. Yeah, so, I mean that's that's it's trying 1460 01:09:00,652 --> 01:09:04,013 Speaker 2: to get the idea of these bodyoids is trying to 1461 01:09:04,013 --> 01:09:06,772 Speaker 2: get biology to do the heavy lifting of the situation, 1462 01:09:07,652 --> 01:09:11,333 Speaker 2: you know, so it pumps its own It's kind of 1463 01:09:11,372 --> 01:09:16,293 Speaker 2: like hydroponics. You're trying to grow using nature to grow 1464 01:09:16,333 --> 01:09:19,492 Speaker 2: what you need, as opposed to having to pump a 1465 01:09:19,532 --> 01:09:22,053 Speaker 2: lot of energy into it yourself into the system. If 1466 01:09:22,053 --> 01:09:25,052 Speaker 2: you if you know what I'm saying, Yeah, Steve, welcome 1467 01:09:25,053 --> 01:09:28,372 Speaker 2: to the show. Good thanks your thoughts on these body. 1468 01:09:29,772 --> 01:09:32,932 Speaker 8: Thanks for having me. I think, shut up and take 1469 01:09:32,973 --> 01:09:34,733 Speaker 8: my money. 1470 01:09:35,652 --> 01:09:36,333 Speaker 2: All about it. 1471 01:09:36,732 --> 01:09:40,412 Speaker 8: I'd like to subscribe. How much do I need to pay? 1472 01:09:41,933 --> 01:09:47,692 Speaker 8: I suggest it's cost effective ensurance. I think everyone should 1473 01:09:47,692 --> 01:09:50,173 Speaker 8: have their own meat sack. And if you and if 1474 01:09:50,213 --> 01:09:53,772 Speaker 8: you've got the whole thing, they're here, the body, everything 1475 01:09:53,853 --> 01:09:56,973 Speaker 8: just sitting there. Endorment you ready to be able to 1476 01:09:57,013 --> 01:10:02,053 Speaker 8: be you're you're just a transfer, yeah, I think, And 1477 01:10:02,333 --> 01:10:05,093 Speaker 8: and what a great way to see the end of 1478 01:10:05,093 --> 01:10:08,173 Speaker 8: the world. You would effectively be immortal. 1479 01:10:08,492 --> 01:10:10,333 Speaker 2: Just replaced. Well well except for the brain. 1480 01:10:11,532 --> 01:10:13,052 Speaker 8: Well no, do the whole lot. 1481 01:10:13,372 --> 01:10:16,293 Speaker 2: But then how do you download the consciousness between the brain? 1482 01:10:16,333 --> 01:10:18,093 Speaker 2: So if they grow another brain, would it be still 1483 01:10:18,133 --> 01:10:18,572 Speaker 2: the steem? 1484 01:10:18,612 --> 01:10:22,852 Speaker 8: I mean no, Well, that's where it's that's where some is, 1485 01:10:23,013 --> 01:10:26,732 Speaker 8: that's some weather computer science, which is way beyond, which 1486 01:10:26,772 --> 01:10:29,612 Speaker 8: is way behind my pay. But even but even the 1487 01:10:29,692 --> 01:10:36,692 Speaker 8: meat sack shouldn't should shouldn't everyone have the option to live? Yeah, well, 1488 01:10:37,013 --> 01:10:40,533 Speaker 8: and if and if you've got enough money, sometimes there's diseases. 1489 01:10:41,013 --> 01:10:42,532 Speaker 8: But don't matter how much money you have. 1490 01:10:42,732 --> 01:10:43,652 Speaker 12: You diet, you're did. 1491 01:10:44,213 --> 01:10:46,372 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny when you took the money. When you're 1492 01:10:46,372 --> 01:10:48,333 Speaker 2: talking of the money, when you're talking right now, just 1493 01:10:48,372 --> 01:10:49,892 Speaker 2: on a screen in the corner the road, have got 1494 01:10:50,013 --> 01:10:52,692 Speaker 2: Millennia Trump walking down a red carpet with a robot 1495 01:10:52,692 --> 01:10:54,492 Speaker 2: beside her, which is interesting because it's hard to tell 1496 01:10:54,492 --> 01:10:58,732 Speaker 2: who's the robot. But Steve, do you remember that movie? 1497 01:10:58,732 --> 01:11:00,572 Speaker 2: Do you remember that movie of the Island with Ewan 1498 01:11:00,612 --> 01:11:04,133 Speaker 2: McGregor and Scarlet Jaes. So that's when they were growing 1499 01:11:04,173 --> 01:11:07,213 Speaker 2: that then people actually had their own clone of themselves. 1500 01:11:07,293 --> 01:11:10,892 Speaker 2: But that was a living, breathing human being that was 1501 01:11:11,013 --> 01:11:14,133 Speaker 2: just being you know, feed the right nutrition to keep 1502 01:11:14,133 --> 01:11:17,013 Speaker 2: their organs in good neck for out of person. But 1503 01:11:17,093 --> 01:11:20,652 Speaker 2: what you're saying really is you just in a lab 1504 01:11:20,732 --> 01:11:24,732 Speaker 2: somewhere as you're living your life. There's this body, aoid 1505 01:11:24,772 --> 01:11:27,213 Speaker 2: that has all your replacement parts that's just sitting in 1506 01:11:27,253 --> 01:11:30,372 Speaker 2: the lab. It's doing it's business. It's pumping. It's not 1507 01:11:30,812 --> 01:11:33,852 Speaker 2: drinking or smoking or doing anything bad to mess up 1508 01:11:33,893 --> 01:11:36,812 Speaker 2: its organs, and if Steve should happen to need it, 1509 01:11:36,933 --> 01:11:40,812 Speaker 2: then he just rings up Body or or Immortal Dragon 1510 01:11:41,053 --> 01:11:43,892 Speaker 2: or whatever this company is called, and they go, yep, okay, 1511 01:11:43,893 --> 01:11:45,972 Speaker 2: well we'll just get that.

Yeah, 1514 01:11:54,013 --> 01:11:55,852 Speaker 2: that's where they go. And it's well possible. 1515 01:11:55,933 --> 01:12:02,372 Speaker 19: I've been saying for around about twenty years. I've always 1516 01:12:02,372 --> 01:12:07,612 Speaker 19: been very optimist that you know, eternal life might actually, 1517 01:12:07,652 --> 01:12:10,093 Speaker 19: you know, living for ever might actually be a thing. 1518 01:12:10,692 --> 01:12:14,093 Speaker 19: And you know, you've got ninety nine point nine people 1519 01:12:14,173 --> 01:12:16,213 Speaker 19: that just laugh at you. But if you think, how, 1520 01:12:17,333 --> 01:12:23,293 Speaker 19: how how how how very quickly medical science is evolving, Yeah, 1521 01:12:23,492 --> 01:12:27,493 Speaker 19: it's it's a very there is a balance and probability 1522 01:12:27,572 --> 01:12:31,572 Speaker 19: that some people only that's only the uber rich, they 1523 01:12:31,652 --> 01:12:32,293 Speaker 19: might live forever. 1524 01:12:32,973 --> 01:12:35,733 Speaker 2: Yeah.

I mean, the reason why 1593 01:15:41,492 --> 01:15:45,372 Speaker 2: this Immortal Dragon company in Singapore is able to raise 1594 01:15:45,412 --> 01:15:49,572 Speaker 2: billions of dollars is because you could make so much money, 1595 01:15:49,973 --> 01:15:52,692 Speaker 2: even in the first stage when they're just using it 1596 01:15:53,093 --> 01:15:56,253 Speaker 2: around vivisection, so they can try pharmaceutical drugs on animals 1597 01:15:56,293 --> 01:15:58,732 Speaker 2: that are closer to humans, let alone when you're growing 1598 01:15:58,732 --> 01:16:01,972 Speaker 2: body parts now that is, that is money. 1599 01:16:02,013 --> 01:16:04,412 Speaker 3: That would be one of the greatest scientific advancements of 1600 01:16:04,452 --> 01:16:07,133 Speaker 3: all time if you can bear the ethics of it. 1601 01:16:08,572 --> 01:16:09,932 Speaker 3: More text coming through. 1602 01:16:11,173 --> 01:16:13,772 Speaker 2: I would love my own spear of parts meat bag, please. 1603 01:16:14,053 --> 01:16:15,772 Speaker 2: Then I can drink wine and not worry about my 1604 01:16:15,812 --> 01:16:18,772 Speaker 2: liver and then get around to it when I need it. 1605 01:16:18,772 --> 01:16:20,772 Speaker 2: Would also be good if they could grow me a 1606 01:16:20,853 --> 01:16:24,812 Speaker 2: larger downstairs as well, says Chris. Okay, I mean that's 1607 01:16:24,812 --> 01:16:26,452 Speaker 2: where it's going to go. We all know that. You 1608 01:16:26,452 --> 01:16:30,372 Speaker 2: know it starts off with transplants and goes every human 1609 01:16:30,372 --> 01:16:33,572 Speaker 2: invention immediately goes that way. We take we make everything 1610 01:16:33,612 --> 01:16:38,052 Speaker 2: sexual everything. Yeah, look at the internet, look at robots. 1611 01:16:39,652 --> 01:16:41,612 Speaker 3: A couple more before we've got a new topic on 1612 01:16:41,652 --> 01:16:42,932 Speaker 3: the table after three o'clock. 1613 01:16:43,893 --> 01:16:46,253 Speaker 2: Sounds like it will be for the wealthy and we'll 1614 01:16:46,333 --> 01:16:48,892 Speaker 2: use up energy resources. Not cool having rich people taking 1615 01:16:48,933 --> 01:16:51,812 Speaker 2: resources from poor living people. Well, that's a very weird 1616 01:16:51,812 --> 01:16:53,333 Speaker 2: way to look at it. Sounds like it would be 1617 01:16:53,372 --> 01:16:56,612 Speaker 2: for the wealthy. Well as organ transplant now for the wealthy. Yeah, 1618 01:16:56,853 --> 01:17:02,492 Speaker 2: no organ transplant. You know that the public health system 1619 01:17:02,572 --> 01:17:05,652 Speaker 2: runs that, So why wouldn't the health system in New 1620 01:17:05,732 --> 01:17:10,372 Speaker 2: Zealand be running these organ farms. Yeah, how would be 1621 01:17:10,492 --> 01:17:12,812 Speaker 2: right on top of that to our all kinds of people. Yeah, 1622 01:17:12,853 --> 01:17:15,293 Speaker 2: this is the way everyone looks now, it's us and them. 1623 01:17:15,492 --> 01:17:17,572 Speaker 2: It sounds like it'll be for the wealthy. And then 1624 01:17:17,973 --> 01:17:19,692 Speaker 2: there's this weird thing that's happening where we just go 1625 01:17:19,732 --> 01:17:22,053 Speaker 2: if this one thing then we have to hate a 1626 01:17:22,093 --> 01:17:25,612 Speaker 2: group of people immediately for it existing. There is a 1627 01:17:25,612 --> 01:17:28,012 Speaker 2: lot of that. Absolutely, it's a funny way of thinking. 1628 01:17:28,173 --> 01:17:30,132 Speaker 2: But I think, no doubt about it. They will make money. 1629 01:17:29,973 --> 01:17:31,732 Speaker 3: If they crack this and get it across the line. 1630 01:17:31,772 --> 01:17:36,732 Speaker 3: But the ramifications, the genuine good ramifications from that would 1631 01:17:36,812 --> 01:17:39,412 Speaker 3: be game changing for humanity as long as it doesn't 1632 01:17:39,412 --> 01:17:40,972 Speaker 3: have a brain. I think once it has a brain, 1633 01:17:41,093 --> 01:17:43,213 Speaker 3: it's a little bit too far from me at the stage. 1634 01:17:43,412 --> 01:17:45,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see where it goes. Okay, we'll keep you 1635 01:17:45,893 --> 01:17:52,212 Speaker 2: posted on developments. Yeah, on these headless human organ meatsacks. 1636 01:17:52,253 --> 01:17:55,612 Speaker 2: What a great hour that was.

Kids Matt Heath and Tyler Adams. Afternoon Squire 1643 01:18:14,452 --> 01:18:18,613 Speaker 1: Shodder News Talk said the. 1644 01:18:17,412 --> 01:18:19,732 Speaker 3: Afternoon to you, welcome back into the show. It is 1645 01:18:19,772 --> 01:18:22,692 Speaker 3: seven past three. Really great to have your company. So 1646 01:18:22,772 --> 01:18:25,132 Speaker 3: let's have a chat about board games. Young people around 1647 01:18:25,133 --> 01:18:28,932 Speaker 3: the world are rediscovering ama jong, the traditional Chinese title game, 1648 01:18:28,973 --> 01:18:32,612 Speaker 3: and turning it into a trendy social activity. It was 1649 01:18:32,652 --> 01:18:35,532 Speaker 3: once associated mainly with older generations. It's now been played 1650 01:18:35,532 --> 01:18:39,532 Speaker 3: in stylish venues, clubs, cafes, often mixed with food, drinks 1651 01:18:39,572 --> 01:18:42,852 Speaker 3: and socializing. The appeal, young players say comes from a 1652 01:18:42,893 --> 01:18:47,772 Speaker 3: mix of factors. It's tactiles, screen free nature, its strategic gameplay, 1653 01:18:47,772 --> 01:18:49,652 Speaker 3: and its ability to bring people together in a more 1654 01:18:49,692 --> 01:18:52,972 Speaker 3: meaningful way than digital entertainment. But we want to take 1655 01:18:52,973 --> 01:18:55,053 Speaker 3: it a bit broader than that board games. Is there 1656 01:18:55,093 --> 01:18:58,812 Speaker 3: a resurgence in going back to traditional board games. 1657 01:18:59,492 --> 01:19:03,333 Speaker 2: I think the ultimate antidote to the digitally obsessed, doom scrolling, 1658 01:19:03,532 --> 01:19:06,652 Speaker 2: mind raising, anti social world we live in. As board games. 1659 01:19:06,853 --> 01:19:08,692 Speaker 2: I think that is the ultimate end. You know, it's 1660 01:19:08,692 --> 01:19:12,452 Speaker 2: sitting around with family or friends playing a board game 1661 01:19:13,053 --> 01:19:17,692 Speaker 2: or cards something like that. Marjen is a great example, 1662 01:19:18,213 --> 01:19:23,612 Speaker 2: is so deep and healthy and fun. And it's hard 1663 01:19:23,652 --> 01:19:27,852 Speaker 2: to get people over the line to start because people 1664 01:19:27,853 --> 01:19:31,412 Speaker 2: going on board games are lame. Yep, lame. That's only 1665 01:19:31,452 --> 01:19:33,013 Speaker 2: for when you're at the batch and it's raining when 1666 01:19:33,013 --> 01:19:36,732 Speaker 2: you're a kid in the eighties. Yes, well crib as 1667 01:19:36,812 --> 01:19:41,012 Speaker 2: that was and down where I come from. Yes, not 1668 01:19:41,013 --> 01:19:44,572 Speaker 2: not for you know, an evening. And so getting you know, kids, 1669 01:19:44,973 --> 01:19:47,253 Speaker 2: teenage kids, you know, a thirteen year old or something 1670 01:19:47,293 --> 01:19:49,173 Speaker 2: around the table to play board games not easy, no, 1671 01:19:49,412 --> 01:19:51,852 Speaker 2: but I guarantee they have a great time when they do. 1672 01:19:52,173 --> 01:19:56,293 Speaker 2: Plus there's there's incredible lessons and board games there's intelligence, 1673 01:19:56,853 --> 01:20:00,492 Speaker 2: you know, there's there's the competitiveness comes in, but you 1674 01:20:00,572 --> 01:20:04,532 Speaker 2: have to solve problems, you know. So I just think 1675 01:20:04,572 --> 01:20:09,253 Speaker 2: it's such a fantastic thing. But uh and and anecdotally, 1676 01:20:09,853 --> 01:20:12,412 Speaker 2: I mean there's no stats on it in New Zealand, 1677 01:20:12,412 --> 01:20:17,132 Speaker 2: but antidotally people are playing board games more. You always 1678 01:20:17,133 --> 01:20:20,293 Speaker 2: see these board game sort of bars open up, don't 1679 01:20:20,333 --> 01:20:23,253 Speaker 2: you you do a board game cafes and then later 1680 01:20:23,293 --> 01:20:27,213 Speaker 2: on you see them go out of business. But unfortunately, Yeah, 1681 01:20:27,213 --> 01:20:28,893 Speaker 2: they're one on Wellington start off with a hess and 1682 01:20:28,933 --> 01:20:30,572 Speaker 2: a roar, and there's one on Simon street. That was 1683 01:20:30,612 --> 01:20:35,333 Speaker 2: awesome in Aokland, but there is such a I mean, 1684 01:20:35,372 --> 01:20:37,093 Speaker 2: are you doing it? Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 1685 01:20:37,133 --> 01:20:38,852 Speaker 2: Would you meet your friends to play a board game? 1686 01:20:38,893 --> 01:20:42,053 Speaker 2: Are you sitting around the family table? Are you Is 1687 01:20:42,093 --> 01:20:46,292 Speaker 2: it something that you're leaning into? Yeah, and I mean scrabble. 1688 01:20:46,772 --> 01:20:48,253 Speaker 2: Scrabble is a pretty good one if you can get 1689 01:20:48,253 --> 01:20:50,652 Speaker 2: your kids playing that one. I mean Monopoly is an 1690 01:20:50,692 --> 01:20:54,173 Speaker 2: absolute life sucker. Yes, Monopoly goes on too long and 1691 01:20:54,293 --> 01:20:56,213 Speaker 2: the problem is we all know people aren't playing the 1692 01:20:56,293 --> 01:20:58,973 Speaker 2: right game rules. Yeah, okay, what are the rules? Well, 1693 01:20:59,013 --> 01:21:01,692 Speaker 2: the rules that people if you land on you know 1694 01:21:01,732 --> 01:21:03,133 Speaker 2: how people just play out that you have to go 1695 01:21:03,213 --> 01:21:04,892 Speaker 2: all the way around and you try and buy as 1696 01:21:04,933 --> 01:21:07,253 Speaker 2: much property as you can. Yes, if someone doesn't want 1697 01:21:07,253 --> 01:21:09,652 Speaker 2: to buy the thing land on, that immediately goes to 1698 01:21:09,652 --> 01:21:12,013 Speaker 2: an auction with the other people, thank you, And you 1699 01:21:12,133 --> 01:21:14,852 Speaker 2: don't collect five hundred you know, you don't put the 1700 01:21:14,893 --> 01:21:18,372 Speaker 2: money into the middle and collect it when you land 1701 01:21:18,412 --> 01:21:20,732 Speaker 2: on go because that just puts too much money in 1702 01:21:20,772 --> 01:21:22,253 Speaker 2: the system. And the idea of Monopoli is to try 1703 01:21:22,293 --> 01:21:25,012 Speaker 2: and bankrupt people, so you don't have any additional ways 1704 01:21:25,053 --> 01:21:25,892 Speaker 2: for people to get money. 1705 01:21:25,973 --> 01:21:28,213 Speaker 3: Yep, right, thank you for mentioning the auction one, because 1706 01:21:28,253 --> 01:21:30,892 Speaker 3: that's why it elongates the game, because everyone's forgot about 1707 01:21:30,933 --> 01:21:33,052 Speaker 3: the auction rules. Every time you land on a property, 1708 01:21:33,053 --> 01:21:35,892 Speaker 3: open it up for auction. But I think you know 1709 01:21:35,933 --> 01:21:38,372 Speaker 3: when the thing with monopoly is if you're losing, you 1710 01:21:38,492 --> 01:21:40,173 Speaker 3: just have to sit there and take it until right 1711 01:21:40,213 --> 01:21:40,932 Speaker 3: at the end of the game. 1712 01:21:40,973 --> 01:21:43,532 Speaker 2: So you're out. You know you're out. But there's someone 1713 01:21:43,532 --> 01:21:44,492 Speaker 2: who's a bit smug. 1714 01:21:44,492 --> 01:21:46,412 Speaker 3: They got all the properties and they're just waiting for 1715 01:21:46,492 --> 01:21:48,333 Speaker 3: you to land on one with a hotel just to 1716 01:21:48,333 --> 01:21:49,293 Speaker 3: completely wipe you out. 1717 01:21:49,333 --> 01:21:50,892 Speaker 2: Will you slowly get bled dry? 1718 01:21:51,213 --> 01:21:51,492 Speaker 16: Yeah? 1719 01:21:51,812 --> 01:21:54,372 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh e one hundred eighty ten eighty.

You can trade by properties, negotiate 1728 01:22:12,572 --> 01:22:15,372 Speaker 2: at any time, even when it's not your turn. Monopoly, Yeah, 1729 01:22:15,372 --> 01:22:16,972 Speaker 2: you can be doing that the whole time. The game's 1730 01:22:17,053 --> 01:22:20,532 Speaker 2: becomes it's it's there's deals. Deals can go on when 1731 01:22:21,253 --> 01:22:24,492 Speaker 2: outside of the dice. Yep, so you can someone's rolling 1732 01:22:24,532 --> 01:22:26,692 Speaker 2: the dice, they're moving around the guy that doesn't have 1733 01:22:26,732 --> 01:22:29,293 Speaker 2: a monocle, or the mindula effect. It makes people think 1734 01:22:29,293 --> 01:22:32,532 Speaker 2: he's got a monocle. He doesn't. You can move around 1735 01:22:32,572 --> 01:22:35,652 Speaker 2: the board, but you can then across the board. You 1736 01:22:35,692 --> 01:22:38,012 Speaker 2: can have been negotiating to buy a property of someone else. Yes, 1737 01:22:38,053 --> 01:22:40,692 Speaker 2: it can happen all the time. That's another rule. People forget. 1738 01:22:40,772 --> 01:22:43,173 Speaker 3: I had no idea he didn't have a monocle.

The number This 1976 01:34:45,372 --> 01:34:48,173 Speaker 2: whole story jumped up because of the amount of Marjong 1977 01:34:48,333 --> 01:34:50,093 Speaker 2: that's being played. All of a sudden, I've just come 1978 01:34:50,133 --> 01:34:53,132 Speaker 2: home from playing Marjong's is dead.

Okay, mate, 1993 01:35:34,772 --> 01:35:37,253 Speaker 3: how we doing very good? Can you hear what you're playing? 1994 01:35:39,333 --> 01:35:45,532 Speaker 27: The big game for me is pat Gammon, But I 1995 01:35:45,973 --> 01:35:49,492 Speaker 27: have to say I'm obsessed with Backgammon to the point 1996 01:35:49,572 --> 01:35:52,173 Speaker 27: that no one in my family will play with me. 1997 01:35:54,372 --> 01:35:57,253 Speaker 27: But having said that, board games in general, I just 1998 01:35:57,333 --> 01:36:00,932 Speaker 27: love them. We do have a game to night every 1999 01:36:00,973 --> 01:36:06,412 Speaker 27: a couple of three weeks. Yeah, kids come around. We 2000 01:36:06,572 --> 01:36:16,053 Speaker 27: play just about everything you imagine. But getting to Monopoly. Recently, 2001 01:36:16,173 --> 01:36:18,973 Speaker 27: probably about four or five months ago, my one of 2002 01:36:19,013 --> 01:36:25,253 Speaker 27: my daughters found an expansion set that you can add 2003 01:36:25,293 --> 01:36:26,293 Speaker 27: on to Monopoly. 2004 01:36:27,293 --> 01:36:29,653 Speaker 8: And it doesn't make a longer game. 2005 01:36:30,173 --> 01:36:35,492 Speaker 27: Changes the game so much, it just makes it ridiculously fun. 2006 01:36:36,253 --> 01:36:38,572 Speaker 2: Right, So what are the differences. 2007 01:36:39,013 --> 01:36:43,932 Speaker 27: We had stopped? My family wouldn't play Monopoly with me either, 2008 01:36:44,213 --> 01:36:46,772 Speaker 27: because I was a stickler for the auctioning and all 2009 01:36:46,812 --> 01:36:50,372 Speaker 27: the other bits and pieces. But with this one with 2010 01:36:50,893 --> 01:36:53,612 Speaker 27: there are three expansions. One of them is called the 2011 01:36:53,772 --> 01:36:58,892 Speaker 27: jail expansion. So when you go past go you collect 2012 01:36:58,893 --> 01:37:03,452 Speaker 27: two hundred dollars. When you go past the jail, you 2013 01:37:03,532 --> 01:37:09,653 Speaker 27: collect a corruption card, and that allows you to steal properties. 2014 01:37:10,372 --> 01:37:14,173 Speaker 27: Oh wow, on some of the other plans, or frame 2015 01:37:14,333 --> 01:37:16,412 Speaker 27: them for crime so they get fined. 2016 01:37:17,053 --> 01:37:20,372 Speaker 12: Right, that sounds good these sorts of things. 2017 01:37:21,692 --> 01:37:26,333 Speaker 27: One of the corrupt things that you can do is 2018 01:37:27,692 --> 01:37:33,133 Speaker 27: send another player to super jail. So you've got the 2019 01:37:33,253 --> 01:37:36,492 Speaker 27: jail and the normal place and where the guy is 2020 01:37:36,572 --> 01:37:40,612 Speaker 27: that it says go to jail, and the diagonomally opposite corner. 2021 01:37:41,893 --> 01:37:44,732 Speaker 27: You set up a super jail, and when you get 2022 01:37:44,772 --> 01:37:48,173 Speaker 27: to super jail, the only way you can get out 2023 01:37:48,412 --> 01:37:54,412 Speaker 27: is to pay pay I can't remember how much three 2024 01:37:54,452 --> 01:37:57,973 Speaker 27: thousand dollars to the person that put you in jail, right, 2025 01:38:00,333 --> 01:38:03,973 Speaker 27: but every turn that you're in jail, you get a 2026 01:38:04,133 --> 01:38:10,492 Speaker 27: super corruption card. So the amount of things. 2027 01:38:10,492 --> 01:38:14,612 Speaker 2: That sounds like, it sounds like those expansion packs break 2028 01:38:14,652 --> 01:38:17,253 Speaker 2: up the monopoly part of monopoly, because that's the problem 2029 01:38:17,452 --> 01:38:19,852 Speaker 2: as people tax down with monopoly. What happens is after 2030 01:38:19,893 --> 01:38:21,492 Speaker 2: about how you can tell who's going to win and 2031 01:38:21,532 --> 01:38:24,133 Speaker 2: it's just bleeding the other people out right, So that's 2032 01:38:24,213 --> 01:38:28,772 Speaker 2: this offers you opportunities to change that script when it 2033 01:38:28,812 --> 01:38:30,133 Speaker 2: starts that way, Am I right? 2034 01:38:30,492 --> 01:38:32,692 Speaker 27: Very much so, very much so. And the other thing 2035 01:38:33,333 --> 01:38:37,333 Speaker 27: about it is, it's not a game that goes on 2036 01:38:37,532 --> 01:38:41,012 Speaker 27: until there's only one person left. It's as soon as 2037 01:38:41,372 --> 01:38:47,412 Speaker 27: every property is sold, the game stops and you total 2038 01:38:47,692 --> 01:38:50,293 Speaker 27: your assets, et cetera, et cetera, to see who the 2039 01:38:50,293 --> 01:38:52,972 Speaker 27: winner is. So it could be the person that's taking 2040 01:38:52,973 --> 01:38:55,732 Speaker 27: the most punishment ends up being the winner. 2041 01:38:57,333 --> 01:39:00,093 Speaker 3: I like that. So you still you're always in the game. 2042 01:39:00,133 --> 01:39:03,452 Speaker 3: There's always a chance rather than just the game right. 2043 01:39:03,293 --> 01:39:03,812 Speaker 4: To the end. 2044 01:39:04,253 --> 01:39:09,932 Speaker 27: And when my family plays games, it's it's a bit 2045 01:39:10,093 --> 01:39:12,572 Speaker 27: like whoever it was it said their brother and there 2046 01:39:13,093 --> 01:39:16,173 Speaker 27: and and then ganged up on their sister. When my 2047 01:39:16,372 --> 01:39:21,892 Speaker 27: family plays games, it's everybody gangs up on me because 2048 01:39:22,772 --> 01:39:26,292 Speaker 27: because they know how seriously I take games unfortunate. 2049 01:39:26,973 --> 01:39:27,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, you sound like. 2050 01:39:29,652 --> 01:39:33,652 Speaker 27: Because because when when I when I win, I get 2051 01:39:33,732 --> 01:39:34,532 Speaker 27: twice as much. 2052 01:39:34,452 --> 01:39:36,652 Speaker 2: To bloat about the world. 2053 01:39:37,772 --> 01:39:40,973 Speaker 27: And and the other thing with with me and with 2054 01:39:41,133 --> 01:39:46,093 Speaker 27: games is my family knows that I do not go. 2055 01:39:46,173 --> 01:39:51,173 Speaker 2: Easy right from from from what age. 2056 01:39:51,572 --> 01:39:54,092 Speaker 27: If I'm teaching a six year old and play the game. 2057 01:39:54,253 --> 01:39:56,213 Speaker 2: You'll still destroy them. 2058 01:39:56,372 --> 01:40:01,293 Speaker 27: Yeah, most of the time. Occasionally, and if they do well, 2059 01:40:02,492 --> 01:40:05,133 Speaker 27: I can take credit in the fact that it's it's 2060 01:40:05,372 --> 01:40:06,612 Speaker 27: it's I taught them. 2061 01:40:06,853 --> 01:40:09,293 Speaker 2: I think. I think that's the way to going easy 2062 01:40:09,333 --> 01:40:11,652 Speaker 2: on your kids is not the way they have to 2063 01:40:11,732 --> 01:40:13,893 Speaker 2: It's like, it's like when my son finally beat me 2064 01:40:13,933 --> 01:40:17,732 Speaker 2: at chess. It was so meaningful him because I always 2065 01:40:17,893 --> 01:40:19,972 Speaker 2: made sure I beat him as quickly as I possibly could, 2066 01:40:20,293 --> 01:40:22,973 Speaker 2: and always went hard and as over time as he 2067 01:40:23,253 --> 01:40:25,253 Speaker 2: Now he can beat me all the time, which is disappointing, 2068 01:40:25,492 --> 01:40:29,092 Speaker 2: but that's but it was so meaningful when he finally 2069 01:40:29,133 --> 01:40:29,452 Speaker 2: beat me. 2070 01:40:29,973 --> 01:40:32,253 Speaker 8: So I think, stop playing. 2071 01:40:33,893 --> 01:40:35,852 Speaker 2: I'm not as skeen to play my son anymore.

So if you don't have a dungeon Master, 2228 01:48:14,412 --> 01:48:15,812 Speaker 2: then you don't really have a game. Yeah. 2229 01:48:15,973 --> 01:48:18,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, one hundred and eighty. Ten eighty is the 2230 01:48:18,173 --> 01:48:20,732 Speaker 3: number to call.

Can you crack the code? Please? Scoda codes 2234 01:48:31,772 --> 01:48:33,133 Speaker 1: every day news dogs. 2235 01:48:33,133 --> 01:48:36,132 Speaker 3: They'd be fourteen to four. We're talking about board games. 2236 01:48:36,173 --> 01:48:38,213 Speaker 3: Do you know the original suits and board games were 2237 01:48:38,293 --> 01:48:43,492 Speaker 3: cup swords, coins and batons, right, but hearts diamonds clubs 2238 01:48:43,692 --> 01:48:47,692 Speaker 3: and spades, right, hearts mean the clergy, Yes, represent the clergy, 2239 01:48:47,812 --> 01:48:53,092 Speaker 3: diamonds represent They're all parts of the economy, so French 2240 01:48:53,213 --> 01:48:58,333 Speaker 3: economy yep, medieval French economy. Hearts the clergy, diamonds are wealth, 2241 01:48:58,412 --> 01:49:02,813 Speaker 3: clubs are peasants slash work, and spades are the nobilitary 2242 01:49:03,173 --> 01:49:04,253 Speaker 3: nobility in military. 2243 01:49:04,412 --> 01:49:06,133 Speaker 2: Right did you know that? I did not know that. 2244 01:49:06,253 --> 01:49:10,853 Speaker 2: That is fascinating. Yeah, I sure. Why each one represents 2245 01:49:10,893 --> 01:49:14,532 Speaker 2: each is the reason why I think spades was originally 2246 01:49:15,293 --> 01:49:19,412 Speaker 2: the arrowhead, yes, the spearhead, and then people just started 2247 01:49:19,452 --> 01:49:21,293 Speaker 2: calling it spades because they were confused. I think it's 2248 01:49:21,333 --> 01:49:22,452 Speaker 2: a translation from the French. 2249 01:49:22,572 --> 01:49:24,213 Speaker 3: But it makes sense to the hierarchy because in a 2250 01:49:24,253 --> 01:49:26,213 Speaker 3: lot of games is a hierarchy between the suits, and 2251 01:49:26,293 --> 01:49:29,652 Speaker 3: it's usually hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs. 2252 01:49:30,333 --> 01:49:32,213 Speaker 2: Right, you'd think that spades would be at the top 2253 01:49:32,853 --> 01:49:35,213 Speaker 2: the hearts then anyway, it doesn't matter. Yeah, all right, 2254 01:49:35,452 --> 01:49:37,772 Speaker 2: interesting interesting, Yeah, but if you've ever look up the 2255 01:49:37,893 --> 01:49:40,492 Speaker 2: history of playing cards, because you just take them for 2256 01:49:40,532 --> 01:49:42,133 Speaker 2: granted because you've seen in my whole life, but it's 2257 01:49:42,372 --> 01:49:45,133 Speaker 2: very very interesting how the decisions were made as what 2258 01:49:45,293 --> 01:49:47,692 Speaker 2: each bit represents. Welcome to the show term. You're a 2259 01:49:47,732 --> 01:49:48,572 Speaker 2: board game designer? 2260 01:49:49,692 --> 01:49:49,892 Speaker 1: Yeah? 2261 01:49:49,973 --> 01:49:52,173 Speaker 2: Sorry, Phil, oh Phil good? Phil? 2262 01:49:52,652 --> 01:49:54,132 Speaker 12: Ye, yep, I am indeed. 2263 01:49:55,013 --> 01:50:00,572 Speaker 32: Yeah. I've designed a bunch of tabletop games and currently 2264 01:50:00,692 --> 01:50:02,293 Speaker 32: working on one that I'm hoping to kick starts in 2265 01:50:02,412 --> 01:50:07,412 Speaker 32: youly called Angels one Six Angel Angels Won Six Angels 2266 01:50:07,492 --> 01:50:09,293 Speaker 32: World War two dog fighting game. 2267 01:50:09,532 --> 01:50:12,652 Speaker 2: Right, And how do you go about designing a game? 2268 01:50:12,772 --> 01:50:14,852 Speaker 2: Do you have the mechanism first or do you have 2269 01:50:14,973 --> 01:50:18,612 Speaker 2: the theme first? You know, the playing side of it, 2270 01:50:18,692 --> 01:50:19,012 Speaker 2: the rules. 2271 01:50:19,093 --> 01:50:23,253 Speaker 32: For me, it's the story first, right. I mostly work 2272 01:50:23,333 --> 01:50:27,412 Speaker 32: on history based games, or sometimes on IP based games 2273 01:50:27,492 --> 01:50:31,053 Speaker 32: based on shows and things, yep. And so yeah, what's 2274 01:50:31,093 --> 01:50:33,053 Speaker 32: the story I want to tell? And then how can 2275 01:50:33,133 --> 01:50:35,093 Speaker 32: I make a mechanism that will do that? 2276 01:50:35,732 --> 01:50:37,532 Speaker 2: And how much do you have to play the game 2277 01:50:37,572 --> 01:50:40,612 Speaker 2: before it can go out into the world, Because imagine 2278 01:50:40,612 --> 01:50:43,652 Speaker 2: you'd have to test those mechanisms pretty robustly. 2279 01:50:45,772 --> 01:50:50,013 Speaker 32: Both more and less than you'd think, right, you never 2280 01:50:50,093 --> 01:50:56,412 Speaker 32: get enough testing.
