I don't think there is an age. 40 00:01:51,013 --> 00:01:53,813 Speaker 2: Generally, my parents don't give me any Easter eggs, But 41 00:01:54,173 --> 00:01:55,573 Speaker 2: I know a lot of people in their thirties and 42 00:01:55,573 --> 00:01:58,453 Speaker 2: forties and the appearance still drop off an Easter egg. 43 00:01:58,653 --> 00:02:00,773 Speaker 4: Really, Yeah, is that weird? 44 00:02:00,893 --> 00:02:01,493 Speaker 3: Are you listening? 45 00:02:01,533 --> 00:02:01,773 Speaker 6: Dead? 46 00:02:02,613 --> 00:02:04,293 Speaker 3: It was last time my dad got me an Easter egg. 47 00:02:04,533 --> 00:02:08,852 Speaker 2: You better hurry dead, very good, right on to show, 48 00:02:08,853 --> 00:02:10,653 Speaker 2: because it is a Thursday that is kind of a 49 00:02:10,693 --> 00:02:12,813 Speaker 2: Friday for a lot of people ahead of Easter weekend 50 00:02:12,973 --> 00:02:15,733 Speaker 2: after three point thirty, the moment you're all wait for 51 00:02:15,973 --> 00:02:20,893 Speaker 2: New Zealander of the week, looking forward to that after 52 00:02:20,893 --> 00:02:24,693 Speaker 2: three o'clock when of a discussion about marriage, it seems 53 00:02:24,693 --> 00:02:27,293 Speaker 2: that it is becoming less appealing for younger generations as 54 00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:30,093 Speaker 2: people no longer see it as essential to adulthood. So 55 00:02:30,173 --> 00:02:33,213 Speaker 2: the story goes on to say, great independence, especially for women, 56 00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:37,573 Speaker 2: along with skepticism about traditional roles and the benefits of marriage, 57 00:02:37,573 --> 00:02:42,413 Speaker 2: has shifted attitudes people. Younger people now prefer long term 58 00:02:42,613 --> 00:02:44,613 Speaker 2: partnerships rather than tying than not. 59 00:02:44,813 --> 00:02:49,293 Speaker 3: Cowards, m cowards, laziness. They're not willing to make a 60 00:02:49,333 --> 00:02:53,093 Speaker 3: commitment and as a result, their lives are less meaningful. 61 00:02:54,293 --> 00:02:56,013 Speaker 2: I think there's something in that, you know, I like 62 00:02:56,093 --> 00:02:58,613 Speaker 2: it because a lot of these people are getting engaged 63 00:02:58,653 --> 00:03:00,093 Speaker 2: and then they say that's all I want to do. 64 00:03:00,173 --> 00:03:02,933 Speaker 2: I just want to get engaged and know wedding after that, 65 00:03:03,493 --> 00:03:05,053 Speaker 2: What is the sense in that you've taked a lot 66 00:03:05,053 --> 00:03:07,133 Speaker 2: of money for a ring, You've done what you need 67 00:03:07,173 --> 00:03:09,013 Speaker 2: to do, drop a knee followed up. 68 00:03:08,933 --> 00:03:09,813 Speaker 3: It's a lack of commitment. 69 00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:10,093 Speaker 4: Yeah. 70 00:03:10,532 --> 00:03:12,093 Speaker 3: I think part of it is people are scared that 71 00:03:12,093 --> 00:03:15,613 Speaker 3: they're going to lose half their properties. But you know, 72 00:03:15,933 --> 00:03:17,773 Speaker 3: you've just got to roll the dice of life, you said, 73 00:03:18,053 --> 00:03:21,412 Speaker 3: nicely said, find someone you like and marry them. 74 00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:23,213 Speaker 4: Yeap, looking forward to that after three o'clock. 75 00:03:23,252 --> 00:03:26,533 Speaker 2: After two o'clock, record breaking CEO pay is back in 76 00:03:26,613 --> 00:03:28,973 Speaker 2: the headlines, with one of New Zealand's top executives earning 77 00:03:29,013 --> 00:03:32,773 Speaker 2: a mass of seventeen million dollars, the highest on record. 78 00:03:33,493 --> 00:03:35,973 Speaker 2: So while much of that comes from performance based incentives 79 00:03:35,973 --> 00:03:39,013 Speaker 2: like shares and bonuses, it does reignite the debate about 80 00:03:39,013 --> 00:03:42,732 Speaker 2: how executive pay is structured and whether it truly reflects 81 00:03:42,813 --> 00:03:47,293 Speaker 2: company's success. So supporters say these payouts reward strong leadership 82 00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:50,253 Speaker 2: and aligned CEO's with shareholder interest, but critics argue the 83 00:03:50,293 --> 00:03:53,573 Speaker 2: gap between the top executives and everyday workers is growing. 84 00:03:54,053 --> 00:03:57,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, but these are private companies, right, so they can 85 00:03:57,333 --> 00:03:59,893 Speaker 3: choose to pay whoever they want, whatever they want. So 86 00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,013 Speaker 3: if they choose that's the right thing to do. If 87 00:04:02,013 --> 00:04:05,053 Speaker 3: it's not, then their company will suffer for it. But 88 00:04:05,093 --> 00:04:08,133 Speaker 3: if it's the right thing, then the company will advance. 89 00:04:09,013 --> 00:04:11,653 Speaker 3: It's a bit different. If people are you know, working 90 00:04:11,653 --> 00:04:15,613 Speaker 3: for public entities, private entity, then can't they decide basically 91 00:04:15,653 --> 00:04:18,053 Speaker 3: everything they want to do within the law. Yeah, you know, 92 00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:19,892 Speaker 3: what else are you going to regulate about them? You 93 00:04:19,933 --> 00:04:24,133 Speaker 3: know when you know how many people they employing, Yeah, 94 00:04:24,173 --> 00:04:26,533 Speaker 3: you know how much they pay their CEO. Surely that's 95 00:04:26,573 --> 00:04:29,533 Speaker 3: up to them, right, Yeah, we just have this this 96 00:04:30,333 --> 00:04:34,133 Speaker 3: culture hour of if someone's doing really well, then we 97 00:04:34,773 --> 00:04:37,373 Speaker 3: have to feel jealous and try and cut them down, yep, 98 00:04:37,573 --> 00:04:39,053 Speaker 3: rather than going, oh good on that guy. 99 00:04:39,053 --> 00:04:40,693 Speaker 2: And why don't I get a slice of that which 100 00:04:40,693 --> 00:04:42,253 Speaker 2: is the girl? Yeah, so that's going to be an 101 00:04:42,253 --> 00:04:45,773 Speaker 2: interesting discussion after two o'clock. But right now, really looking 102 00:04:45,773 --> 00:04:48,133 Speaker 2: forward to this one. Let's have a chat about going 103 00:04:48,173 --> 00:04:51,773 Speaker 2: into space. This is after Artemis Too successfully blasted into 104 00:04:51,813 --> 00:04:56,013 Speaker 2: space about an hour ago with four astronauts on board, 105 00:04:56,093 --> 00:04:59,573 Speaker 2: lit by NASA. Of course, it was incredible to watch, 106 00:04:59,573 --> 00:05:02,693 Speaker 2: big crowds, big sides, big rocket, kind of nerve wracking. 107 00:05:03,213 --> 00:05:05,333 Speaker 2: As you mentioned a little bit earlier that there has 108 00:05:05,373 --> 00:05:07,933 Speaker 2: been some space adventures gone wrong. 109 00:05:08,013 --> 00:05:11,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've all seen the Challenger disaster. So when you 110 00:05:11,613 --> 00:05:16,693 Speaker 3: see those that rocket blasting up into the atmosphere, it's 111 00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:19,053 Speaker 3: so easy to picture it blowing up. Yeah, but it 112 00:05:19,093 --> 00:05:23,773 Speaker 3: didn't went perfectly. It did and It was sent shivers 113 00:05:23,813 --> 00:05:28,453 Speaker 3: down my spine. As I was saying before Tyler, I imagine 114 00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:31,333 Speaker 3: being around to watch in nineteen sixty nine, to watch 115 00:05:31,373 --> 00:05:33,573 Speaker 3: the Apollo mission, you first one to land on the Moon. 116 00:05:33,653 --> 00:05:35,853 Speaker 4: Imagine that you still hear people talk about it. 117 00:05:35,893 --> 00:05:39,693 Speaker 3: That would be incredible because and what an audacious thing 118 00:05:39,733 --> 00:05:41,493 Speaker 3: it was to do to go to the moon. Yeah, 119 00:05:41,533 --> 00:05:45,813 Speaker 3: back then with the technology that they had. But personally, 120 00:05:46,053 --> 00:05:48,373 Speaker 3: I think it's awesome that they're going back to the moon. 121 00:05:48,453 --> 00:05:48,613 Speaker 7: Yeah. 122 00:05:48,733 --> 00:05:51,693 Speaker 3: It is weird though, because this whole mission is like 123 00:05:51,853 --> 00:05:56,053 Speaker 3: going back to Apollo eight nineteen sixty eight. Right, So 124 00:05:56,453 --> 00:05:58,933 Speaker 3: Apollo eight was the first orbiting of the Moon. So 125 00:05:58,973 --> 00:06:01,373 Speaker 3: this Artemist too, is just orbiting the moon. Correct, yep, 126 00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:06,733 Speaker 3: So that was the nineteen sixty eight Apollo eight mission 127 00:06:06,853 --> 00:06:09,173 Speaker 3: orbited the Moon and that was the first famous earth 128 00:06:09,253 --> 00:06:11,293 Speaker 3: rise picture. It's one of the most famous photographs of 129 00:06:11,333 --> 00:06:11,933 Speaker 3: all that's right. 130 00:06:12,013 --> 00:06:14,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it is fascinating. It's a little bit 131 00:06:14,493 --> 00:06:18,253 Speaker 2: like going back in time. But if the Atomist program 132 00:06:19,373 --> 00:06:22,333 Speaker 2: as a whole, so it's in phases. This is phase 133 00:06:22,333 --> 00:06:24,133 Speaker 2: two and as you say, Matt, they're up there ten 134 00:06:24,173 --> 00:06:25,893 Speaker 2: days and they're just going to orbit the Moon. But 135 00:06:26,013 --> 00:06:28,693 Speaker 2: Ultimately they want to set up a space station around 136 00:06:28,733 --> 00:06:31,333 Speaker 2: the Moon and develop technologies needed for deeper space travel, 137 00:06:31,373 --> 00:06:33,373 Speaker 2: with the ultimate aim of. 138 00:06:33,453 --> 00:06:35,253 Speaker 4: Using it as a stepping stone to get to mass. 139 00:06:35,293 --> 00:06:36,493 Speaker 3: So we listen to the launch. 140 00:06:37,053 --> 00:06:41,893 Speaker 8: Yeah, seven ounce supression, water is flowing, lifting, and here 141 00:06:41,933 --> 00:06:48,773 Speaker 8: we go ten nine eight seven rs, twenty five engines 142 00:06:50,453 --> 00:06:57,693 Speaker 8: four three two one booster, ignition and lift off. The 143 00:06:57,773 --> 00:07:01,253 Speaker 8: crew of Artemis two now bound for the Moon. Humanity's 144 00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:02,973 Speaker 8: next great voyage begins. 145 00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:12,333 Speaker 3: They didn't now then it eat agree roll Roger ra Pitch. 146 00:07:14,853 --> 00:07:17,533 Speaker 9: Houston now controlling the flight of Integrity on the Otemis 147 00:07:17,613 --> 00:07:18,133 Speaker 9: two mission. 148 00:07:18,253 --> 00:07:24,813 Speaker 10: Round them high. 149 00:07:26,653 --> 00:07:31,613 Speaker 9: Ye On time passing thirty seconds and the months Integrity 150 00:07:31,653 --> 00:07:35,173 Speaker 9: passes the ultimate ECON target milestone. As you control, Houston 151 00:07:35,173 --> 00:07:40,253 Speaker 9: seeing could performances space launch system course stage integrity three 152 00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:42,853 Speaker 9: miles in altitude, So. 153 00:07:42,933 --> 00:07:48,253 Speaker 3: That thing cool thing weighs two six hundred tons when 154 00:07:48,253 --> 00:07:56,013 Speaker 3: it's fully fuelled liquid hydrogen and oxygen fuel. Very explosive obviously, 155 00:07:56,093 --> 00:07:59,013 Speaker 3: so ten day mission. So they're going to fang up 156 00:07:59,013 --> 00:08:01,653 Speaker 3: there for about four days, then pissed around the Moon 157 00:08:01,653 --> 00:08:03,333 Speaker 3: for a couple of days, then then come back. Very 158 00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:06,253 Speaker 3: similar to Apollo eight. As I said before, you've got 159 00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:09,173 Speaker 3: four astronauts on there. You've got Re, you got Victor, 160 00:08:09,253 --> 00:08:11,413 Speaker 3: you got Christina, and you've got Jerry up there. 161 00:08:12,933 --> 00:08:14,133 Speaker 4: Good on Christina on Jerry. 162 00:08:14,293 --> 00:08:17,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, it's you know, imagine being strapped to that. 163 00:08:18,333 --> 00:08:22,333 Speaker 2: Oh been incredible when we're watching it live and just 164 00:08:22,373 --> 00:08:25,453 Speaker 2: thinking those four people in that little space rocket going 165 00:08:25,533 --> 00:08:28,573 Speaker 2: what was it ten thousand k an hour as were 166 00:08:28,573 --> 00:08:30,013 Speaker 2: blasting into space. 167 00:08:29,773 --> 00:08:33,053 Speaker 3: Miles and the thing is that, Yeah, as I said before, 168 00:08:33,253 --> 00:08:36,252 Speaker 3: you know you know that that that these have blown 169 00:08:36,333 --> 00:08:39,253 Speaker 3: up before. I mean, they've blown up on the ground before. 170 00:08:39,732 --> 00:08:43,333 Speaker 3: It's it's the guts, the bravery that you have to 171 00:08:43,333 --> 00:08:46,653 Speaker 3: be one of these astronauts. You know. It's just it's inspiring. 172 00:08:46,693 --> 00:08:48,532 Speaker 3: It's inspiring stuff, isn't it. 173 00:08:48,533 --> 00:08:50,852 Speaker 4: It certainly is. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 174 00:08:50,813 --> 00:08:55,133 Speaker 2: So, with the ultimate Artemis program in mind, that the 175 00:08:55,372 --> 00:08:57,773 Speaker 2: ultimate aim is to get to Mars and set up 176 00:08:57,813 --> 00:09:01,453 Speaker 2: a colony on that dusty red planet, is that money 177 00:09:01,573 --> 00:09:04,533 Speaker 2: well worth worth spending that we want to be a 178 00:09:04,612 --> 00:09:08,852 Speaker 2: multi planetary species to protect humanity if something to happen 179 00:09:08,892 --> 00:09:11,813 Speaker 2: to this planet, is that that's something that we are 180 00:09:11,852 --> 00:09:15,292 Speaker 2: behind and pumping that money into. And these incredible feats 181 00:09:15,293 --> 00:09:18,133 Speaker 2: of scientific endeavor. Is that worthwhile? 182 00:09:18,372 --> 00:09:20,653 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean that's a good question. It's a 183 00:09:20,653 --> 00:09:26,413 Speaker 3: lot of money. But asteroid strikes, super volcanoes, engineered pandemics, 184 00:09:27,293 --> 00:09:30,533 Speaker 3: you know, these these aren't the most likely things of all, 185 00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:36,852 Speaker 3: but if they do happen high consequence, you know, complete 186 00:09:36,892 --> 00:09:38,973 Speaker 3: extinction events are quite quite possible. 187 00:09:39,093 --> 00:09:39,293 Speaker 7: Yep. 188 00:09:39,892 --> 00:09:42,693 Speaker 3: And so you could argue that getting to Mars. And 189 00:09:42,732 --> 00:09:46,372 Speaker 3: as you said, this setting up on the moon is 190 00:09:47,293 --> 00:09:49,413 Speaker 3: you know, a base camp to get into Mars. That's 191 00:09:49,453 --> 00:09:51,933 Speaker 3: part of the plan. It's it isn't You could argue 192 00:09:51,973 --> 00:09:55,093 Speaker 3: it's not not a luxury, it's not We're not just 193 00:09:55,372 --> 00:09:59,492 Speaker 3: wasting money. It's it's insurance for the existence of humanity 194 00:09:59,653 --> 00:10:03,652 Speaker 3: going going forward. You know, you don't wait until your 195 00:10:03,653 --> 00:10:08,093 Speaker 3: houses is on fire before you buy a second one. 196 00:10:08,132 --> 00:10:10,053 Speaker 4: That doesn't makes sense fire extinguisher. 197 00:10:11,053 --> 00:10:13,132 Speaker 3: Most of us don't have two houses just to spare 198 00:10:13,173 --> 00:10:17,573 Speaker 3: on it. That's a bad analogy that I came up with. 199 00:10:17,612 --> 00:10:17,652 Speaker 11: It. 200 00:10:17,933 --> 00:10:19,893 Speaker 4: But you have insurance, so that's your plan. B So 201 00:10:19,892 --> 00:10:21,813 Speaker 4: of the house burns down, you've got your back up 202 00:10:21,892 --> 00:10:22,773 Speaker 4: plan with insurance. 203 00:10:23,132 --> 00:10:27,573 Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I personally think that humanity is fantastic. We're 204 00:10:27,612 --> 00:10:30,773 Speaker 3: capable of amazing things. Just the technology to get to 205 00:10:30,773 --> 00:10:34,173 Speaker 3: the moon. Really, as far as I'm concerned, proves our worth, 206 00:10:34,252 --> 00:10:38,693 Speaker 3: but also our capability for art and love. And as 207 00:10:38,693 --> 00:10:42,053 Speaker 3: I said, our brain is the most complicated thing in 208 00:10:42,093 --> 00:10:46,133 Speaker 3: the known universe yep, and so be a total disaster 209 00:10:46,732 --> 00:10:50,372 Speaker 3: if we didn't have any humans anymore. So I think 210 00:10:50,413 --> 00:10:54,413 Speaker 3: being intoplanetary is a sensible thing to do. I imagine 211 00:10:54,413 --> 00:10:56,653 Speaker 3: if the asteroids were coming again like they came for 212 00:10:56,693 --> 00:10:59,612 Speaker 3: the dinos, and we're sitting on Earth going, Oh, that's 213 00:10:59,653 --> 00:11:00,293 Speaker 3: the end of all of it. 214 00:11:00,453 --> 00:11:03,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, And it will it will at some stage. 215 00:11:03,453 --> 00:11:05,133 Speaker 2: It might be in a thousand years, might be in 216 00:11:05,173 --> 00:11:06,773 Speaker 2: a million years, it might be in a billion years. 217 00:11:06,773 --> 00:11:08,893 Speaker 2: But I think scientists will say that the likelihood of 218 00:11:08,892 --> 00:11:12,173 Speaker 2: that happening at some stage is highly likely. But what 219 00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:14,533 Speaker 2: do you say, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty do 220 00:11:14,573 --> 00:11:16,732 Speaker 2: you fizz on the idea of us becoming a multi 221 00:11:16,773 --> 00:11:19,973 Speaker 2: planetary species? Do you think this is a fantastic use 222 00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:24,133 Speaker 2: of money considering what's going on, or if you do 223 00:11:24,293 --> 00:11:26,252 Speaker 2: think it is a bit too much, still king to 224 00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:28,012 Speaker 2: hear from you, Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 225 00:11:28,053 --> 00:11:30,252 Speaker 2: is that number four nineteen ninet two is the text, 226 00:11:30,653 --> 00:11:31,973 Speaker 2: it is eighteen past one. 227 00:11:32,213 --> 00:11:34,093 Speaker 3: This Texas says we can't even afford to build a 228 00:11:34,132 --> 00:11:36,533 Speaker 3: Dunedin hospital and we're trying to send people to the 229 00:11:36,533 --> 00:11:36,933 Speaker 3: morning again. 230 00:11:36,973 --> 00:11:38,213 Speaker 12: Oh not the Dnata hospital. 231 00:11:38,213 --> 00:11:39,853 Speaker 3: I don't know if the Denean hospital budget was in 232 00:11:39,892 --> 00:11:42,253 Speaker 3: the same budget as the NASA budget. 233 00:11:42,293 --> 00:11:44,333 Speaker 4: Yeah, NASA's not going to pay for that. Back in 234 00:11:44,333 --> 00:11:44,612 Speaker 4: a bow. 235 00:11:45,693 --> 00:11:49,213 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 236 00:11:49,413 --> 00:11:53,253 Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used 237 00:11:53,252 --> 00:11:53,893 Speaker 1: talks that'd. 238 00:11:53,773 --> 00:11:56,013 Speaker 4: Be It is twenty past one. 239 00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:58,573 Speaker 2: So today's Atomis two launch is part of the plan 240 00:11:58,653 --> 00:12:00,653 Speaker 2: to set up infrastructure on the Moon to use as 241 00:12:00,693 --> 00:12:05,173 Speaker 2: a stepping stone to then set up a colonization on Mars. 242 00:12:05,213 --> 00:12:07,813 Speaker 2: So how essential is it for humanity to become a 243 00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:10,733 Speaker 2: multi playlanatory species. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighties number 244 00:12:10,773 --> 00:12:12,492 Speaker 2: to call Greg. 245 00:12:12,653 --> 00:12:15,372 Speaker 3: Your thoughts on into planetary humanity. 246 00:12:16,413 --> 00:12:22,213 Speaker 13: Surely this is insanity the amounts of money that it 247 00:12:22,252 --> 00:12:25,493 Speaker 13: would cost to colonize Mars. Surely that money can be 248 00:12:25,573 --> 00:12:28,973 Speaker 13: spent on the perfectly good planet that we're already sitting 249 00:12:29,012 --> 00:12:31,813 Speaker 13: on to cause, you know, to cure whatever problem that 250 00:12:31,813 --> 00:12:36,653 Speaker 13: we're facing. What were you talking about planet color asteroid 251 00:12:37,293 --> 00:12:40,012 Speaker 13: coming to Earth and sort of wiping us all out. 252 00:12:41,213 --> 00:12:43,413 Speaker 13: I understand what they're doing now. We need rockets and 253 00:12:43,453 --> 00:12:46,652 Speaker 13: things like that to maybe shoot down an asteroid or 254 00:12:46,693 --> 00:12:49,652 Speaker 13: deflect it, or use gravity to pull it aside, you know, 255 00:12:49,773 --> 00:12:53,053 Speaker 13: So that technology that they're using now can be used 256 00:12:53,093 --> 00:12:57,093 Speaker 13: for that thing. But to actually conalize Mars just doesn't 257 00:12:57,693 --> 00:12:58,893 Speaker 13: surely it doesn't make sense. 258 00:12:58,973 --> 00:13:00,733 Speaker 3: Well, you've got to start at some point, right, So, 259 00:13:01,053 --> 00:13:03,492 Speaker 3: like a lot of technology, I mean, it was insane 260 00:13:03,573 --> 00:13:06,053 Speaker 3: to people that we would be able to go to 261 00:13:06,093 --> 00:13:09,132 Speaker 3: the Moon in the first place, when it was when 262 00:13:09,213 --> 00:13:12,572 Speaker 3: Kennedy was talking about at nineteen sixty one at Rice University, 263 00:13:12,813 --> 00:13:15,132 Speaker 3: and then just by the end of that decade they 264 00:13:15,213 --> 00:13:18,933 Speaker 3: had people on the Moon. So if you believe that 265 00:13:19,053 --> 00:13:21,893 Speaker 3: it's a possibility that a super volcano or an asteroid 266 00:13:21,933 --> 00:13:24,693 Speaker 3: or whatever events some kind of horrific disease or something 267 00:13:24,773 --> 00:13:27,053 Speaker 3: could kill everyone on Earth, then don't you want to 268 00:13:27,053 --> 00:13:31,012 Speaker 3: get started early greg trying because because you learn a 269 00:13:31,053 --> 00:13:33,252 Speaker 3: lot of lessons on the way trying to do something 270 00:13:33,333 --> 00:13:34,732 Speaker 3: that that seems impossible. 271 00:13:35,213 --> 00:13:36,733 Speaker 13: And that's why I don't have a problem with what 272 00:13:36,773 --> 00:13:39,532 Speaker 13: they're doing now, because that is we are going to 273 00:13:39,612 --> 00:13:41,573 Speaker 13: learn from these rockets going to the Moon and things 274 00:13:41,612 --> 00:13:44,333 Speaker 13: like that. But to actually follow through and look at 275 00:13:44,372 --> 00:13:47,533 Speaker 13: color the Mars thing as a step toroo far from me, 276 00:13:47,973 --> 00:13:50,933 Speaker 13: it would be trillions and trillions of dollars. What are 277 00:13:50,933 --> 00:13:52,973 Speaker 13: they going to do build a giant bubble because his 278 00:13:53,053 --> 00:13:55,893 Speaker 13: home atmosphere on Mars. Surely that's going to be wiped 279 00:13:55,933 --> 00:13:57,973 Speaker 13: out by an asteroid a lot easier than what. 280 00:13:57,892 --> 00:14:01,933 Speaker 4: We are maybe ye possibility, yeah, yep, but that is 281 00:14:01,973 --> 00:14:02,732 Speaker 4: this possibility. 282 00:14:02,732 --> 00:14:04,892 Speaker 3: I mean, the idea is that that that you go. 283 00:14:05,573 --> 00:14:08,653 Speaker 3: You know, you have the resources up there, you go 284 00:14:08,773 --> 00:14:12,573 Speaker 3: up there, You've got a lot of autonomous activity up there. 285 00:14:13,173 --> 00:14:15,612 Speaker 3: They bring things together, and the first people that live 286 00:14:15,693 --> 00:14:17,973 Speaker 3: up there won't be coming back, that's for sure, and 287 00:14:17,973 --> 00:14:20,573 Speaker 3: they'll be living a pretty grim lifestyle they'll be living. 288 00:14:20,773 --> 00:14:22,933 Speaker 3: It'll be similar to being in a submarine the whole time. 289 00:14:23,493 --> 00:14:25,813 Speaker 3: And the Earth would have to get pretty bad before 290 00:14:25,853 --> 00:14:28,773 Speaker 3: it's as bad as Mars, like we would. You know, 291 00:14:29,013 --> 00:14:32,453 Speaker 3: people worry about pollution on Earth. There is it would 292 00:14:32,493 --> 00:14:34,853 Speaker 3: have to get terrible down here before it was even 293 00:14:35,093 --> 00:14:37,613 Speaker 3: anywhere within the ballpark of how bad the atmosphere is 294 00:14:37,613 --> 00:14:38,413 Speaker 3: for humans on Mars. 295 00:14:39,093 --> 00:14:41,853 Speaker 13: You'd be sick of the color after a short while, you. 296 00:14:41,853 --> 00:14:44,653 Speaker 2: Certainly would, But what about you know, just on the 297 00:14:44,973 --> 00:14:48,493 Speaker 2: colonization is one thing, but also this is the next frontier. 298 00:14:48,693 --> 00:14:51,733 Speaker 2: I mean, we as humans do we just stop exploring 299 00:14:51,773 --> 00:14:54,693 Speaker 2: because that is the next step, right? And then if 300 00:14:54,733 --> 00:14:57,493 Speaker 2: Mars is the aim this time, it doesn't stop at Mars, 301 00:14:57,533 --> 00:14:59,773 Speaker 2: does it. It keeps going and going and going. And 302 00:14:59,853 --> 00:15:01,253 Speaker 2: yes it's going to cost a lot of money, but 303 00:15:01,293 --> 00:15:04,453 Speaker 2: isn't that ingrained in the human experience that we keep 304 00:15:04,493 --> 00:15:04,853 Speaker 2: going forth. 305 00:15:04,893 --> 00:15:05,893 Speaker 4: There's so much we don't know. 306 00:15:06,613 --> 00:15:10,413 Speaker 13: I agree, but I think we can explore without that 307 00:15:10,653 --> 00:15:13,333 Speaker 13: goal of colonizing somewhere else. You know, we can send 308 00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:16,413 Speaker 13: up robots too, and these amazing machines that they build 309 00:15:16,453 --> 00:15:18,453 Speaker 13: now get to go to the next planet and land 310 00:15:18,453 --> 00:15:21,533 Speaker 13: on the next planet, and it is mind blowing. You know, 311 00:15:22,053 --> 00:15:24,773 Speaker 13: valtcrow and w D forty was invented by NASA when 312 00:15:24,813 --> 00:15:27,013 Speaker 13: they were going to the moon. So who doesn't love 313 00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:32,813 Speaker 13: NASA just for those two things. But to actually look 314 00:15:32,813 --> 00:15:37,453 Speaker 13: at colonizing that part is just a step too far 315 00:15:37,493 --> 00:15:41,693 Speaker 13: from me. I watched follow Neil Degress Tyson and just 316 00:15:41,773 --> 00:15:43,813 Speaker 13: he glows me, well off all these stupid facts and things, 317 00:15:43,853 --> 00:15:47,613 Speaker 13: and he's he's against it as well, because he is 318 00:15:47,693 --> 00:15:50,253 Speaker 13: surely the amount of money you're going to spend colonizing there, 319 00:15:50,413 --> 00:15:52,413 Speaker 13: you can fix whatever problem you have here is. 320 00:15:52,693 --> 00:15:55,973 Speaker 3: But we just want that. That's the thing with humans, 321 00:15:56,173 --> 00:15:59,013 Speaker 3: as we won't we'll spend it on something else. The 322 00:15:59,573 --> 00:16:01,613 Speaker 3: idea that because I've seen him talking about it, but 323 00:16:01,653 --> 00:16:03,973 Speaker 3: the idea that you're going to sort of be able 324 00:16:04,013 --> 00:16:06,493 Speaker 3: to motivate people to spend that kind of money on 325 00:16:07,173 --> 00:16:10,813 Speaker 3: fixing boring problems down here, I just don't think they'll 326 00:16:10,853 --> 00:16:12,573 Speaker 3: do it. I think I think, as Tyler was saying, 327 00:16:12,653 --> 00:16:16,733 Speaker 3: is that humans are explorers. You know, we're hugely motivated 328 00:16:16,773 --> 00:16:19,653 Speaker 3: by the excitement. I mean, you think about crossing oceans. 329 00:16:19,813 --> 00:16:23,613 Speaker 13: And it's almost an ego thing, isn't it. 330 00:16:23,733 --> 00:16:23,893 Speaker 6: Yeah? 331 00:16:23,933 --> 00:16:26,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well but it's what it's got us out of 332 00:16:26,013 --> 00:16:28,733 Speaker 3: the caves, right, That's what it's got us forward. We 333 00:16:28,773 --> 00:16:32,053 Speaker 3: always need to do the next thing. Unfortunately that has 334 00:16:32,053 --> 00:16:35,453 Speaker 3: also got us nuclear weapons, which may be the reason 335 00:16:35,453 --> 00:16:36,813 Speaker 3: why we have to leave. 336 00:16:37,453 --> 00:16:39,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, but just on that note, Greg, there's always got 337 00:16:39,653 --> 00:16:41,853 Speaker 2: to be problems, right is. I've heard that argument so 338 00:16:41,893 --> 00:16:43,893 Speaker 2: many times that we should be pumping money into fixing 339 00:16:43,933 --> 00:16:46,333 Speaker 2: things here. And you can do that ad nauseum, but 340 00:16:46,333 --> 00:16:48,853 Speaker 2: there's always going to be something. This idea of utopia 341 00:16:48,973 --> 00:16:51,933 Speaker 2: I don't think really exists, So why you are trying 342 00:16:52,013 --> 00:16:54,173 Speaker 2: to fix what you can here.

The ultimate plan for the Artemis program, it's 524 00:25:16,173 --> 00:25:19,173 Speaker 2: going to be in phases, is to set up infrastructure 525 00:25:19,413 --> 00:25:21,933 Speaker 2: and a colony on the Moon to use as a 526 00:25:21,933 --> 00:25:24,373 Speaker 2: stepping stone to get to Mars. So is that a 527 00:25:24,413 --> 00:25:26,773 Speaker 2: worthwhile endeavor for us as a human species? 528 00:25:27,253 --> 00:25:28,813 Speaker 3: He on makes a good point about what I said 529 00:25:28,813 --> 00:25:32,733 Speaker 3: about buzz Aldron before. Thanks. Then he can't really say 530 00:25:32,733 --> 00:25:34,333 Speaker 3: he was the first person to WII on the moon. 531 00:25:34,413 --> 00:25:36,493 Speaker 3: Maybe the first person to wei his pants on the 532 00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:38,653 Speaker 3: moon hasn't really got the same ring to it. He 533 00:25:38,733 --> 00:25:41,093 Speaker 3: should have pulled his pants down. He could have been 534 00:25:41,133 --> 00:25:42,653 Speaker 3: the first person to moon on the moon. That's a 535 00:25:42,653 --> 00:25:43,013 Speaker 3: good point. 536 00:25:43,093 --> 00:25:44,973 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, nicely said. He makes some good. 537 00:25:44,813 --> 00:25:47,013 Speaker 3: Points, And I have actually always thought about that with 538 00:25:47,093 --> 00:25:50,093 Speaker 3: buzz Aldroom when he says that you you know, you 539 00:25:50,253 --> 00:25:52,253 Speaker 3: just weed your pants. Yeah, you were just the first 540 00:25:52,253 --> 00:25:54,293 Speaker 3: person to wear your pants on the moon. Yeah, it's 541 00:25:54,333 --> 00:25:58,173 Speaker 3: not quite the claim you think it is. NASA did 542 00:25:58,213 --> 00:26:01,812 Speaker 3: not invent valcrow, neither did they invent teflon. There was 543 00:26:01,853 --> 00:26:04,173 Speaker 3: there was a lot of a lot of things invented 544 00:26:04,213 --> 00:26:10,093 Speaker 3: by the Apollo missions. That wouldn't have come about, and 545 00:26:10,293 --> 00:26:13,853 Speaker 3: Tyler's looking them up. But the cafe read tube took 546 00:26:14,013 --> 00:26:15,933 Speaker 3: huge advancements. Thince v Nessa. 547 00:26:16,133 --> 00:26:18,893 Speaker 4: Yep, did Lance Armstrong pass the drug. 548 00:26:18,693 --> 00:26:20,373 Speaker 3: Test to go to the mood? I'm surprised. Yeah it 549 00:26:20,373 --> 00:26:24,293 Speaker 3: was Neil Armstrong, but I get your point. Just Lance 550 00:26:24,373 --> 00:26:25,373 Speaker 3: Armstrong would have struggled. 551 00:26:25,453 --> 00:26:28,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, just quickly on what NASA did invent memory, foam, 552 00:26:28,773 --> 00:26:35,493 Speaker 2: water purification, cordless tools, freeze dried food, infrared thermometers, space blankets, 553 00:26:35,493 --> 00:26:38,093 Speaker 2: which obviously we use as survival blankets now. And the 554 00:26:38,133 --> 00:26:40,053 Speaker 2: list goes on and on and on. I mean, the 555 00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:44,373 Speaker 2: minute technological advances that around so many things now that 556 00:26:44,453 --> 00:26:46,093 Speaker 2: if I said the name, you'd say, what is that? 557 00:26:46,573 --> 00:26:48,733 Speaker 2: But is used in daily life? I mean, they've invented 558 00:26:48,733 --> 00:26:49,333 Speaker 2: a lot of things. 559 00:26:49,533 --> 00:26:52,013 Speaker 3: Species eventually go extinct, and humans are a species that 560 00:26:52,013 --> 00:26:53,933 Speaker 3: has been around for a relatively short while, and our 561 00:26:53,973 --> 00:26:56,853 Speaker 3: extinction will inevitably happen Mars or no Mars. Yeah, but 562 00:26:57,533 --> 00:26:58,853 Speaker 3: let's keep it going as long as we can. 563 00:26:58,933 --> 00:27:00,693 Speaker 4: We've got to try, surely, we've got to try to 564 00:27:00,733 --> 00:27:01,213 Speaker 4: keep it going. 565 00:27:01,613 --> 00:27:04,253 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm eventually going to die, and I wouldn't 566 00:27:04,253 --> 00:27:07,292 Speaker 3: mind getting a few more days in before it happens exactly. 567 00:27:07,573 --> 00:27:08,213 Speaker 4: Get a Aaron. 568 00:27:09,893 --> 00:27:13,173 Speaker 18: Hey, look, I don't know whether this is an urban myss, 569 00:27:13,213 --> 00:27:17,933 Speaker 18: but I don't think I don't think this apparently, and 570 00:27:17,973 --> 00:27:20,413 Speaker 18: they're polymicians and things. NASA spent a great deal of 571 00:27:20,413 --> 00:27:24,613 Speaker 18: money trying to make trying to for ballpoint pens for 572 00:27:24,773 --> 00:27:27,493 Speaker 18: zero gravity and to make them work and do the 573 00:27:27,493 --> 00:27:30,733 Speaker 18: bits of people. I've did this, and and Russia used 574 00:27:30,733 --> 00:27:31,213 Speaker 18: the pencil. 575 00:27:31,813 --> 00:27:38,533 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I've heard that. There's and there's that's that's 576 00:27:38,533 --> 00:27:41,213 Speaker 3: a great, great, great one. Have you ever seen the Sputnik. 577 00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:44,532 Speaker 3: I went to the Sputnik exhibition in London, and I 578 00:27:44,613 --> 00:27:46,733 Speaker 3: never realized at the time when they were firing around 579 00:27:46,773 --> 00:27:48,773 Speaker 3: the Earth and Sputnik, there's no windows. They were just 580 00:27:48,813 --> 00:27:51,693 Speaker 3: basically inside a cannon ball being fired around the whole 581 00:27:52,093 --> 00:27:55,853 Speaker 3: The whole Russian space thing was really really basic. 582 00:27:56,533 --> 00:27:59,773 Speaker 18: And and my android phone has got more technology on 583 00:27:59,813 --> 00:28:00,173 Speaker 18: it than that. 584 00:28:00,813 --> 00:28:01,893 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's true. 585 00:28:02,373 --> 00:28:05,213 Speaker 3: It's quite incredible. But you know, I've read a lot 586 00:28:05,253 --> 00:28:08,013 Speaker 3: about this in the past. And when the Sputnik, you know, 587 00:28:08,733 --> 00:28:11,013 Speaker 3: or orbiters were flying around the wood, the Americans were 588 00:28:11,093 --> 00:28:12,613 Speaker 3: terrified because they were in the middle of the Cold War, 589 00:28:12,733 --> 00:28:16,893 Speaker 3: and people were looking up and seeing these Russians being 590 00:28:16,893 --> 00:28:20,053 Speaker 3: so much more advanced than than America was. They freaked 591 00:28:20,053 --> 00:28:22,093 Speaker 3: out to the point where they just really you know, 592 00:28:22,413 --> 00:28:25,093 Speaker 3: accelerated the space mission. That's kind of what's happening now. 593 00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:27,453 Speaker 3: It's no coincidence that China is talking about the moon 594 00:28:27,493 --> 00:28:30,093 Speaker 3: and suddenly America is very motivated to get the moon again. 595 00:28:30,213 --> 00:28:32,653 Speaker 18: Yeah, let's China's got pencils. 596 00:28:33,813 --> 00:28:35,693 Speaker 3: I'd love to know if that was true, that story. 597 00:28:35,733 --> 00:28:36,253 Speaker 3: I've heard it. 598 00:28:36,373 --> 00:28:39,013 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, whether that's an uber myth or not. Nine 599 00:28:39,013 --> 00:28:42,013 Speaker 4: two nine two, if you know, keep those teas coming through, 600 00:28:42,293 --> 00:28:44,373 Speaker 4: and we're taking your calls on eight hundred eighty ten 601 00:28:44,493 --> 00:28:45,373 Speaker 4: eighty Loel. 602 00:28:45,173 --> 00:28:47,453 Speaker 3: Matt, you referred to Lance instead of Neil and talking 603 00:28:47,453 --> 00:28:50,093 Speaker 3: about buzz talking the first words on the moon have 604 00:28:50,293 --> 00:28:52,893 Speaker 3: lessen bad.

Is that 612 00:29:12,813 --> 00:29:15,813 Speaker 2: a worthwhile endeavor for humanity? Or do you think it 613 00:29:15,893 --> 00:29:18,173 Speaker 2: is a waste of money? Oh eight hundred eighty ten 614 00:29:18,213 --> 00:29:20,813 Speaker 2: eighty is that number to call? It is eighteen to two. 615 00:29:21,133 --> 00:29:22,333 Speaker 2: We'll be back very surely. 616 00:29:23,213 --> 00:29:26,613 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 617 00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:31,253 Speaker 1: everything in between.

Do we want to 628 00:29:56,893 --> 00:30:00,813 Speaker 2: see humanity become a multiplanetary species? Oh, eight hundred eighty 629 00:30:00,813 --> 00:30:02,733 Speaker 2: ten eighty is that number to call? Nine two ninety 630 00:30:02,733 --> 00:30:04,013 Speaker 2: two is the text number? 631 00:30:04,133 --> 00:30:05,933 Speaker 3: Hi, guys, complete waste of money to try and get 632 00:30:05,933 --> 00:30:07,693 Speaker 3: to the Moon for the first time. See, I think 633 00:30:07,773 --> 00:30:09,973 Speaker 3: that's wrong. I think that's a horrible way to look 634 00:30:09,973 --> 00:30:11,413 Speaker 3: at it. I think going to the Moon the first 635 00:30:11,413 --> 00:30:15,853 Speaker 3: time was such a great thing for humanity and how 636 00:30:15,933 --> 00:30:19,813 Speaker 3: proud people felt to be humans that humans could could 637 00:30:19,893 --> 00:30:22,413 Speaker 3: do that. Yeah, I just I feel like the general 638 00:30:23,693 --> 00:30:27,173 Speaker 3: feeling for all of humanity. It lifted everything. That just 639 00:30:27,213 --> 00:30:31,613 Speaker 3: showed how far people could push, you know, and what 640 00:30:31,693 --> 00:30:34,253 Speaker 3: amazing things people could achieve. So I think I think 641 00:30:34,253 --> 00:30:37,413 Speaker 3: it was money well spent going to the moon last time. 642 00:30:37,493 --> 00:30:40,533 Speaker 2: Here the ramifications from going to the Moon during what 643 00:30:40,773 --> 00:30:43,573 Speaker 2: was a period of you know a lot of anxiousness 644 00:30:43,653 --> 00:30:45,613 Speaker 2: and conflict. I mean that turned things around. 645 00:30:46,013 --> 00:30:48,253 Speaker 3: You know by the time they got to Apollo seventeen. 646 00:30:48,333 --> 00:30:53,773 Speaker 3: You know, people went so interested. But you know Apollo, 647 00:30:53,933 --> 00:30:58,773 Speaker 3: you know, Apollo nine, Apollo eight, how bloody good? 648 00:30:58,893 --> 00:31:02,093 Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely? Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty is 649 00:31:02,133 --> 00:31:04,133 Speaker 4: the number to call New Kim. How are you mate? 650 00:31:05,133 --> 00:31:08,613 Speaker 19: Good friends? Yeah, I'm just thinking, like you'd ask owned 651 00:31:08,693 --> 00:31:12,213 Speaker 19: the space that I was just thinking, like I said, uh, 652 00:31:12,893 --> 00:31:16,493 Speaker 19: it would be good if we're try We're gonna try 653 00:31:16,533 --> 00:31:18,453 Speaker 19: our hardest to get on with each other as the 654 00:31:18,493 --> 00:31:21,373 Speaker 19: star wars. You know, we seem to be good at 655 00:31:21,453 --> 00:31:25,093 Speaker 19: being mean and bad and evil to each other rather 656 00:31:25,173 --> 00:31:29,053 Speaker 19: than getting on to the worldwide you know, you imagine 657 00:31:29,053 --> 00:31:32,133 Speaker 19: how much further we would be in space. The whole 658 00:31:32,173 --> 00:31:33,933 Speaker 19: work together and just did it. 659 00:31:34,573 --> 00:31:36,693 Speaker 3: I think though, because I think if you looked at 660 00:31:36,773 --> 00:31:39,453 Speaker 3: humanity from the outside, we do have the odd skirmish 661 00:31:39,653 --> 00:31:41,933 Speaker 3: and we have the odd war, but generally we're pretty 662 00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:44,133 Speaker 3: good at getting on together. If you look at a city, 663 00:31:44,133 --> 00:31:45,773 Speaker 3: we all drive on the same side of the road. 664 00:31:45,973 --> 00:31:48,373 Speaker 3: You hardly ever see people fighting on the streets. Compared 665 00:31:48,413 --> 00:31:52,013 Speaker 3: to most other species that ever lived, humans are pretty 666 00:31:52,253 --> 00:31:54,933 Speaker 3: pretty peaceful and loving. I think there's a good chance 667 00:31:54,973 --> 00:31:58,773 Speaker 3: of aliens looking down at us, they'd go, oh don't 668 00:31:58,773 --> 00:32:00,173 Speaker 3: they look at them, and they all seem to get on, 669 00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:01,053 Speaker 3: get on pretty well. 670 00:32:01,133 --> 00:32:03,413 Speaker 10: Yeah, they're gold. 671 00:32:03,573 --> 00:32:06,333 Speaker 19: We could, you know, like these little walls we got here. 672 00:32:06,413 --> 00:32:10,173 Speaker 19: You know, it's just it's just sad people each other 673 00:32:10,253 --> 00:32:12,373 Speaker 19: so much as they want to kill each other until 674 00:32:12,973 --> 00:32:13,773 Speaker 19: they're gone, you know. 675 00:32:14,333 --> 00:32:18,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, thinking you call nucim neukem, Yeah, and youukem. 676 00:32:18,253 --> 00:32:19,213 Speaker 4: It's a great name, Nukem. 677 00:32:19,573 --> 00:32:21,293 Speaker 3: Yeah.

Having these available 755 00:36:21,133 --> 00:36:23,653 Speaker 2: gives humanity an option to escape Earth quickly and easily 756 00:36:23,853 --> 00:36:26,093 Speaker 2: if we need to, still, with the option to return 757 00:36:26,173 --> 00:36:27,373 Speaker 2: to the Earth at any time. 758 00:36:27,413 --> 00:36:27,973 Speaker 3: That's from Paul. 759 00:36:28,173 --> 00:36:28,373 Speaker 4: Yeah. 760 00:36:28,413 --> 00:36:31,413 Speaker 3: But the idea of where you know, where we're picking, 761 00:36:31,413 --> 00:36:33,893 Speaker 3: where we're going is where we can get large water sources, 762 00:36:34,013 --> 00:36:36,692 Speaker 3: large frozen water sources, So you know, if you're having 763 00:36:36,733 --> 00:36:41,253 Speaker 3: to run part pipes up to these pods, then problematic. Yeah, 764 00:36:41,293 --> 00:36:43,812 Speaker 3: but again I don't know. Maybe you can form a 765 00:36:43,853 --> 00:36:46,533 Speaker 3: fully functional, big enough biosphere that it all works out, so. 766 00:36:46,653 --> 00:36:49,813 Speaker 2: Potentially, Yeah, and just quickly this one get our guys. 767 00:36:49,853 --> 00:36:52,373 Speaker 2: Look at the human and financial cost for the Panama 768 00:36:52,413 --> 00:36:55,573 Speaker 2: Canal about twenty five thousand lives and four hundred million dollars, 769 00:36:55,613 --> 00:36:58,973 Speaker 2: which was substantial, but it was developed and changed the 770 00:36:58,973 --> 00:37:02,853 Speaker 2: world in humanity for the better. We can't give up train. 771 00:37:03,093 --> 00:37:03,973 Speaker 2: We must go further. 772 00:37:04,213 --> 00:37:05,933 Speaker 3: Okay, I've been thinking about this and I think the 773 00:37:06,013 --> 00:37:08,893 Speaker 3: launch today and the push to go into planetary and 774 00:37:09,013 --> 00:37:12,493 Speaker 3: set up on Mars, it isn't about escaping Earth. It's 775 00:37:12,693 --> 00:37:16,732 Speaker 3: about protecting humanity's future with all our love and art 776 00:37:16,893 --> 00:37:19,333 Speaker 3: and hopes and dreams. And if we can build even 777 00:37:19,373 --> 00:37:22,853 Speaker 3: a small, just a little, itsy bitsy colony there, we 778 00:37:22,893 --> 00:37:26,253 Speaker 3: go from one planet species to a two planet species, 779 00:37:26,293 --> 00:37:29,133 Speaker 3: which changes everything about our long term survival. It would 780 00:37:29,173 --> 00:37:32,613 Speaker 3: mean the biggest leap of our great species since we 781 00:37:32,733 --> 00:37:35,053 Speaker 3: first explored the oceans, and it's the kind of thing 782 00:37:35,493 --> 00:37:38,573 Speaker 3: humanity could be proud of, proof we can still do hard, 783 00:37:39,013 --> 00:37:42,293 Speaker 3: ambitious things that inspire young people to work hard and 784 00:37:42,333 --> 00:37:45,853 Speaker 3: create amazing things and do incredible things with their life. 785 00:37:45,853 --> 00:37:48,413 Speaker 3: And the tech we build to survive on Mars and 786 00:37:48,453 --> 00:37:49,732 Speaker 3: to get there would come back and. 787 00:37:49,653 --> 00:37:52,333 Speaker 4: It would improve life for all of us. 788 00:37:52,533 --> 00:37:55,933 Speaker 3: As Tim said our last caller, at its core, the 789 00:37:55,973 --> 00:38:00,252 Speaker 3: space race is simple humans explore and Mars is our 790 00:38:00,293 --> 00:38:03,373 Speaker 3: next frontier.

Right, let's get into the discussion. It 837 00:40:09,133 --> 00:40:11,652 Speaker 4: was in the Herald today. Record breaking CEO pay is 838 00:40:11,693 --> 00:40:14,453 Speaker 4: back in the spotlight, with one of New Zealand's top 839 00:40:14,493 --> 00:40:18,172 Speaker 4: executives earning a massive seventeen million dollar package that is 840 00:40:18,213 --> 00:40:21,772 Speaker 4: the highest on record. His name is Gary Miles and 841 00:40:21,893 --> 00:40:24,973 Speaker 4: he runs gen Track. But where While much of that 842 00:40:25,013 --> 00:40:28,133 Speaker 4: comes from performance based incentives, like shares and bonuses. It 843 00:40:28,253 --> 00:40:31,812 Speaker 4: is reigniting debates in some quarters about how executive pay 844 00:40:31,933 --> 00:40:35,453 Speaker 4: is structured and whether it truly reflects company successes. Supporters 845 00:40:35,813 --> 00:40:39,533 Speaker 4: they say these payouts rewards strong leadership and aligned CEOs 846 00:40:39,533 --> 00:40:43,013 Speaker 4: with shareholder interests, but critics argue, as they always seem to, 847 00:40:43,293 --> 00:40:46,533 Speaker 4: that the gap between the top executive pay and everyday 848 00:40:46,653 --> 00:40:49,013 Speaker 4: workers is growing. Yeah. 849 00:40:49,653 --> 00:40:52,373 Speaker 3: I find this is always an interesting article because just 850 00:40:52,373 --> 00:40:54,732 Speaker 3: because someone's getting paid a lot doesn't mean that you 851 00:40:54,973 --> 00:40:56,613 Speaker 3: it makes any I mean, someone can get paid a 852 00:40:56,653 --> 00:40:57,973 Speaker 3: lot and you can get paid what you get. Just 853 00:40:58,013 --> 00:40:59,733 Speaker 3: because they're getting paid lot doesn't mean it's coming out 854 00:40:59,733 --> 00:41:01,093 Speaker 3: of your wages, if you know what I'm saying. 855 00:41:01,453 --> 00:41:03,212 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of envy there, I think. 856 00:41:03,613 --> 00:41:07,133 Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know, if a board of directors and 857 00:41:07,453 --> 00:41:09,573 Speaker 3: a shareholder base decide that that's how much they want 858 00:41:09,613 --> 00:41:11,453 Speaker 3: to pay a CEO in a private company, then that's 859 00:41:11,493 --> 00:41:14,652 Speaker 3: the decision that they've made, right, Yeah. I mean what 860 00:41:14,693 --> 00:41:16,933 Speaker 3: else would you want to regulate within a company how 861 00:41:17,013 --> 00:41:19,973 Speaker 3: many employees they've got, how much they play all their employees. 862 00:41:20,493 --> 00:41:24,133 Speaker 3: I mean you can do that within the government agencies, 863 00:41:24,253 --> 00:41:26,733 Speaker 3: public sector and such. Sure, you could have a look 864 00:41:26,773 --> 00:41:28,533 Speaker 3: at that and go that person's getting paid too much. 865 00:41:28,533 --> 00:41:30,772 Speaker 3: But if you don't like how much someone's getting paid 866 00:41:30,773 --> 00:41:33,133 Speaker 3: in a company, don't buy their products. And if you 867 00:41:33,133 --> 00:41:35,172 Speaker 3: don't like working for a company where the CEO gets 868 00:41:35,213 --> 00:41:36,813 Speaker 3: paid too much, don't work for another company. 869 00:41:36,933 --> 00:41:38,453 Speaker 4: I think there is a bit of that. 870 00:41:38,613 --> 00:41:40,453 Speaker 2: Look when I'm going down this list of top ten, 871 00:41:40,613 --> 00:41:42,893 Speaker 2: and like you, when I saw that story this morning 872 00:41:42,933 --> 00:41:45,493 Speaker 2: and Gary Miles seventeen million dollars and he works for 873 00:41:45,573 --> 00:41:48,013 Speaker 2: gen Track, I thought good on him. Clearly that company 874 00:41:48,093 --> 00:41:49,413 Speaker 2: is going very well and he's doing a lot of 875 00:41:49,413 --> 00:41:52,733 Speaker 2: good things. Number two is a guy called Dave Bordelasi. 876 00:41:52,853 --> 00:41:55,813 Speaker 2: He's the head of a two milk company. But here's 877 00:41:55,853 --> 00:41:59,373 Speaker 2: where I start to potentially have some questions. These are 878 00:41:59,413 --> 00:42:03,772 Speaker 2: private companies. So number seven is Vittoria Short, the head 879 00:42:03,773 --> 00:42:06,413 Speaker 2: of ASB Bank. Number eight is Dan Huggins, the head 880 00:42:06,413 --> 00:42:10,133 Speaker 2: of ben Z Bank. Number ten Antonia Watson, the head 881 00:42:10,173 --> 00:42:13,853 Speaker 2: of A and Z Bank. So here's that's why I 882 00:42:13,893 --> 00:42:16,213 Speaker 2: start to have a few questions when it comes to 883 00:42:17,653 --> 00:42:20,733 Speaker 2: the bank CEOs. And I'll get some pushback here, but 884 00:42:20,893 --> 00:42:24,613 Speaker 2: as someone who is a customer of one of those 885 00:42:24,613 --> 00:42:27,013 Speaker 2: particular banks, and most of us are in New Zealand 886 00:42:27,493 --> 00:42:31,333 Speaker 2: and seeing the profits that they bring in, and they 887 00:42:31,333 --> 00:42:33,732 Speaker 2: are welcome to those profits. In fact, it's a good 888 00:42:33,733 --> 00:42:35,613 Speaker 2: thing because it means those banks are doing well and 889 00:42:35,653 --> 00:42:37,853 Speaker 2: they're not going to collapse in my money is safe 890 00:42:37,853 --> 00:42:39,573 Speaker 2: and the mortgages is going to be there, and so 891 00:42:39,613 --> 00:42:42,493 Speaker 2: everything runs smoothly. But I can understand people look at 892 00:42:42,493 --> 00:42:44,773 Speaker 2: those sort of salaries when they are with a particular 893 00:42:44,813 --> 00:42:47,413 Speaker 2: bank and feel that they are getting squeezed a little 894 00:42:47,413 --> 00:42:49,652 Speaker 2: bit and we don't get the same deal as our 895 00:42:49,653 --> 00:42:53,093 Speaker 2: mates over in Australia, and that resentment just starts to 896 00:42:53,093 --> 00:42:57,533 Speaker 2: bubble away under the bottom there. Whereas gin Track, I 897 00:42:57,573 --> 00:42:59,652 Speaker 2: don't really know what they do. I know roughly what 898 00:42:59,653 --> 00:43:01,813 Speaker 2: they do. It's a technological company. But I don't have 899 00:43:01,853 --> 00:43:04,693 Speaker 2: any interest in gin Track. I don't use their services. 900 00:43:04,933 --> 00:43:06,493 Speaker 2: So I look at that and say, well done, make 901 00:43:06,853 --> 00:43:10,413 Speaker 2: fantastic seventeen millions. Things seem to be going well the banks. 902 00:43:10,893 --> 00:43:11,973 Speaker 2: Hey do you want to throw me a bit of 903 00:43:12,013 --> 00:43:12,692 Speaker 2: a bone as well? 904 00:43:12,813 --> 00:43:15,213 Speaker 3: Okay maybe, but why don't you take your money and 905 00:43:15,253 --> 00:43:17,253 Speaker 3: go to a bank with the CEO with the lower pay. 906 00:43:17,333 --> 00:43:19,173 Speaker 3: And then if enough people did that and it became 907 00:43:20,493 --> 00:43:23,373 Speaker 3: a factor in their profits, that people didn't like to 908 00:43:23,373 --> 00:43:25,692 Speaker 3: be at a bank where the CEO gets paid so much, 909 00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:28,813 Speaker 3: then they were the border directors will go, actually, we're 910 00:43:28,813 --> 00:43:33,333 Speaker 3: paying our CEOs too much, right, But if it materially 911 00:43:33,373 --> 00:43:35,453 Speaker 3: affected the amount of money they were making, which is 912 00:43:35,493 --> 00:43:40,053 Speaker 3: why most businesses exist, then if the size of the 913 00:43:40,053 --> 00:43:46,212 Speaker 3: CEO package was a turn off for customers, then then 914 00:43:46,573 --> 00:43:47,573 Speaker 3: they'd probably look into it. 915 00:43:47,653 --> 00:43:47,853 Speaker 23: Right. 916 00:43:48,373 --> 00:43:51,093 Speaker 2: Does it change that most of the banks, so I've 917 00:43:51,133 --> 00:43:53,493 Speaker 2: mentioned three banks their ASBB and Z and A and 918 00:43:53,613 --> 00:43:56,853 Speaker 2: Z Westpac. I'm sure is in the list somewhere that 919 00:43:56,853 --> 00:44:00,093 Speaker 2: that covers eighty five ninety percent of the banks that 920 00:44:00,493 --> 00:44:04,893 Speaker 2: operate in New Zealand minus the building societies. Does that 921 00:44:04,933 --> 00:44:06,533 Speaker 2: come into it that you don't have too much of 922 00:44:06,573 --> 00:44:08,733 Speaker 2: an option to say, look, I don't actually like how 923 00:44:08,813 --> 00:44:11,893 Speaker 2: much your CEO is getting paid, or take my money elsewhere, 924 00:44:12,013 --> 00:44:14,853 Speaker 2: good luck, because they all get paid good Do you. 925 00:44:14,773 --> 00:44:17,373 Speaker 3: Just look around everywhere and go like, I'd love to 926 00:44:17,373 --> 00:44:19,133 Speaker 3: hear people's thoughts Thatslway one hundred and eighty ten eighty, 927 00:44:19,213 --> 00:44:21,053 Speaker 3: rather than Tyler and I just having our thoughts on it. 928 00:44:22,053 --> 00:44:24,413 Speaker 3: But do you just look at everyone? 929 00:44:24,613 --> 00:44:24,693 Speaker 21: So? 930 00:44:25,013 --> 00:44:26,692 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't look at Ardie's severe and go 931 00:44:27,253 --> 00:44:28,933 Speaker 3: I'm angry at him. He gets paid more than me. 932 00:44:29,013 --> 00:44:30,732 Speaker 3: I go, he gets paid more than me because he's 933 00:44:30,813 --> 00:44:35,173 Speaker 3: really really good at playing rugby and he works really hard, 934 00:44:35,733 --> 00:44:39,013 Speaker 3: and he's got where he's got because of natural talent, 935 00:44:39,613 --> 00:44:43,732 Speaker 3: and you know, great. So I don't look at him 936 00:44:43,813 --> 00:44:45,573 Speaker 3: and go I'm annoyed he gets paid more than me. 937 00:44:45,573 --> 00:44:46,973 Speaker 3: Why would I look at a CEO and go, I'm 938 00:44:46,973 --> 00:44:48,853 Speaker 3: annoyed they get paid more than me. Why would I 939 00:44:48,893 --> 00:44:51,213 Speaker 3: look at anyone and go they get paid more than me. 940 00:44:51,573 --> 00:44:53,493 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't I look at someone that gets paid less 941 00:44:53,533 --> 00:44:55,533 Speaker 3: than me and try and help them out? 942 00:44:55,613 --> 00:44:56,493 Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Yeah? 943 00:44:56,533 --> 00:44:58,493 Speaker 3: The six is my wife and I work very hard. 944 00:44:58,693 --> 00:45:00,652 Speaker 3: Met you're saying our work isn't worth the same as 945 00:45:00,653 --> 00:45:04,413 Speaker 3: some asshole CEO from a public private school. Well, I 946 00:45:04,493 --> 00:45:06,013 Speaker 3: didn't say any about an asshole CEO. 947 00:45:06,053 --> 00:45:08,252 Speaker 4: I mean they're putting words in your mouth there. 948 00:45:08,333 --> 00:45:10,173 Speaker 3: If they're an asshole CEO, then I'm probably not a 949 00:45:10,173 --> 00:45:12,893 Speaker 3: big fan of them. That's a good point. But no, 950 00:45:13,213 --> 00:45:15,053 Speaker 3: but it's not me that decides how much you get paid. 951 00:45:15,493 --> 00:45:18,893 Speaker 3: So you Mett, you're saying our work isn't this isn't 952 00:45:18,933 --> 00:45:21,133 Speaker 3: worth the same. I don't get to say what you 953 00:45:21,173 --> 00:45:24,853 Speaker 3: get paid. So maybe I if I was in charge 954 00:45:25,213 --> 00:45:27,093 Speaker 3: of deciding how much you get paid, and you were 955 00:45:27,133 --> 00:45:30,733 Speaker 3: amazing and you're producing a lot, and you had a 956 00:45:30,733 --> 00:45:32,573 Speaker 3: lot of responsibility, I might go, yeah, yeah, you deserve 957 00:45:32,573 --> 00:45:34,373 Speaker 3: to get paid a lot.

It is back in the headlines after The 978 00:46:25,653 --> 00:46:30,093 Speaker 2: Herald wrote a piece about the most well paid CEOs 979 00:46:30,093 --> 00:46:33,493 Speaker 2: in the country. There's a private CEOs, So are these 980 00:46:33,533 --> 00:46:36,413 Speaker 2: salaries justified or as executive pay? In New Zealand getting 981 00:46:36,413 --> 00:46:38,093 Speaker 2: out of hand? Eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty 982 00:46:38,133 --> 00:46:39,933 Speaker 2: is that number to call? Nine two ninety two is 983 00:46:39,973 --> 00:46:41,053 Speaker 2: the text. 984 00:46:41,013 --> 00:46:43,772 Speaker 4: Dean, welcome the show, good mate, how are you doing? 985 00:46:44,053 --> 00:46:47,653 Speaker 3: Very good? Thanks for calling this Thursday afternoon, your. 986 00:46:47,533 --> 00:46:49,293 Speaker 10: Thoughts and the lovely day that is. Yeah, it is 987 00:46:49,533 --> 00:46:54,413 Speaker 10: lit with the CEO pay. Essentially, the boards vote and 988 00:46:54,453 --> 00:46:56,973 Speaker 10: they set the pay limit because the high that they 989 00:46:57,013 --> 00:46:59,253 Speaker 10: can set that limit, the more that they get paid. 990 00:46:59,293 --> 00:47:02,253 Speaker 10: It's for their fees. So if you break that formula 991 00:47:02,533 --> 00:47:05,053 Speaker 10: then you have probably a bit more chance of lowering 992 00:47:05,533 --> 00:47:08,493 Speaker 10: the CEO pay. Yeah. 993 00:47:08,773 --> 00:47:13,573 Speaker 3: Do you think that that that that that system works 994 00:47:13,613 --> 00:47:17,813 Speaker 3: to the detriment of companies and in New Zealand. 995 00:47:19,173 --> 00:47:19,493 Speaker 24: I don't. 996 00:47:19,533 --> 00:47:22,133 Speaker 10: I don't think it's the right attitude, if you know 997 00:47:22,133 --> 00:47:25,573 Speaker 10: what I mean in terms of there's supposed to be 998 00:47:25,613 --> 00:47:28,093 Speaker 10: a level of quality and caliber within the board that 999 00:47:28,253 --> 00:47:31,333 Speaker 10: drive the direction of the company and using the CEOs 1000 00:47:31,373 --> 00:47:35,453 Speaker 10: the mask set of that direction. Now, so they say, hey, 1001 00:47:35,493 --> 00:47:37,853 Speaker 10: this is our value that we're putting into you. But 1002 00:47:37,893 --> 00:47:40,613 Speaker 10: their value is set and it's all determined by the 1003 00:47:40,613 --> 00:47:44,973 Speaker 10: calculation of the CEO's package. So if you were allow 1004 00:47:45,053 --> 00:47:46,813 Speaker 10: that package, you would lower their fees and they would 1005 00:47:46,813 --> 00:47:48,053 Speaker 10: get a little bit crumpy about that. 1006 00:47:48,933 --> 00:47:50,333 Speaker 4: So you think there's a conflict there. 1007 00:47:52,333 --> 00:47:55,413 Speaker 10: I think there's a vest of interest, which is a 1008 00:47:55,533 --> 00:47:58,373 Speaker 10: little bit selfish, you could say. 1009 00:47:59,813 --> 00:48:02,013 Speaker 3: So when you look at the list of these, you know, 1010 00:48:02,053 --> 00:48:05,773 Speaker 3: these top CEOs in New Zealands and what they're getting paid, 1011 00:48:06,333 --> 00:48:09,733 Speaker 3: do you think there are people there don't deserve to 1012 00:48:09,773 --> 00:48:12,133 Speaker 3: be there? Do you think the thing the system is 1013 00:48:12,733 --> 00:48:16,893 Speaker 3: getting the wrong CEOs? So like Gary Miles from gen Track, 1014 00:48:16,933 --> 00:48:19,213 Speaker 3: for example, he's paid seventeen million dollars. 1015 00:48:19,693 --> 00:48:22,172 Speaker 10: Seventeen million dollars, Yeah, I guess you got to look 1016 00:48:22,173 --> 00:48:25,093 Speaker 10: at the performance. What is he doing, what strategies is 1017 00:48:25,133 --> 00:48:27,933 Speaker 10: he putting in place, or what changes of direction has 1018 00:48:27,973 --> 00:48:31,252 Speaker 10: he taking that company that generates at least that type 1019 00:48:31,293 --> 00:48:32,693 Speaker 10: of profit for the year for the company. 1020 00:48:32,973 --> 00:48:36,652 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think I think his huge pay is 1021 00:48:37,533 --> 00:48:41,413 Speaker 3: due to the performance of the company and you know, 1022 00:48:42,133 --> 00:48:44,453 Speaker 3: goals that were set in there for him to achieve. 1023 00:48:44,933 --> 00:48:46,773 Speaker 3: So I think if you're looking at gen Track, you're 1024 00:48:46,773 --> 00:48:48,813 Speaker 3: probably going well, that we've done very well, All of 1025 00:48:48,853 --> 00:48:52,493 Speaker 3: us have done very well. And you know, if those 1026 00:48:52,493 --> 00:48:54,692 Speaker 3: goals hadn't been met, then then he wouldn't be getting 1027 00:48:54,733 --> 00:48:56,453 Speaker 3: paid that much, but the company wouldn't be making that 1028 00:48:56,533 --> 00:48:57,053 Speaker 3: much as well. 1029 00:48:57,933 --> 00:49:00,573 Speaker 10: No, and is he changing his strategy year on year 1030 00:49:00,613 --> 00:49:03,812 Speaker 10: out to reflect that question? 1031 00:49:03,973 --> 00:49:05,693 Speaker 3: To be honesty? And I I hadn't even heard of 1032 00:49:05,733 --> 00:49:06,933 Speaker 3: gin track and talk this morning. 1033 00:49:08,653 --> 00:49:10,893 Speaker 2: I've got here is a salary went up three hundred 1034 00:49:10,933 --> 00:49:12,933 Speaker 2: and seventy one percent year on year. So that's not 1035 00:49:12,973 --> 00:49:16,573 Speaker 2: too bad. But that's you know, that's not you can't 1036 00:49:16,613 --> 00:49:18,253 Speaker 2: keep doing that year on you can you? Maybe you 1037 00:49:18,293 --> 00:49:19,773 Speaker 2: can if it keeps going up and up and up. 1038 00:49:19,813 --> 00:49:25,853 Speaker 3: Well, he's triggered some some performance bonuses or whatever that 1039 00:49:25,933 --> 00:49:28,053 Speaker 3: the board of directors thought he needed to do to 1040 00:49:28,053 --> 00:49:29,013 Speaker 3: get paid that much. 1041 00:49:28,893 --> 00:49:29,093 Speaker 7: You know. 1042 00:49:29,173 --> 00:49:31,733 Speaker 10: So, yeah, this takes you back to the original formula. 1043 00:49:31,733 --> 00:49:33,413 Speaker 10: If the board of director to say, yeah, yeah, you 1044 00:49:33,453 --> 00:49:35,573 Speaker 10: go for it, you set that, you hit that, then 1045 00:49:35,573 --> 00:49:36,373 Speaker 10: we all hit it too. 1046 00:49:37,013 --> 00:49:38,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, So they share in the spoils. 1047 00:49:38,813 --> 00:49:42,053 Speaker 2: But it is quite often governed by by shareholders as well. Right, 1048 00:49:42,253 --> 00:49:44,693 Speaker 2: you know, the board answers to the shareholders if the 1049 00:49:44,733 --> 00:49:47,172 Speaker 2: shareholders are doing well, out of the company. Then they're 1050 00:49:47,173 --> 00:49:49,813 Speaker 2: pretty happy with the CEO. Then CEO gets a nice bump. 1051 00:49:50,173 --> 00:49:52,413 Speaker 2: But I see some of the questions coming through, and 1052 00:49:52,453 --> 00:49:55,293 Speaker 2: it's it's every time this list is put together, and 1053 00:49:55,333 --> 00:49:57,613 Speaker 2: some of the CEO's are a bit cagy about having their 1054 00:49:57,653 --> 00:50:01,173 Speaker 2: salary made public. But the question always is why doesn't 1055 00:50:01,213 --> 00:50:03,933 Speaker 2: that flow back down the down the line? So it 1056 00:50:03,973 --> 00:50:05,893 Speaker 2: goes you know, the CEO gets a nice bump because 1057 00:50:05,933 --> 00:50:09,013 Speaker 2: the company's doing well. Should that then start to filter 1058 00:50:09,133 --> 00:50:11,613 Speaker 2: through to some of the other employees because they're part 1059 00:50:11,653 --> 00:50:12,293 Speaker 2: of the machine? 1060 00:50:13,533 --> 00:50:17,413 Speaker 10: I agree? And then adding into that, shouldn't maybe different 1061 00:50:17,773 --> 00:50:21,973 Speaker 10: text thresholds to the CEO at that point as well? 1062 00:50:22,253 --> 00:50:24,893 Speaker 10: You know, that's that's that's sort of riding along happily 1063 00:50:24,933 --> 00:50:26,813 Speaker 10: at the thirty three or thirty eight percent of whatever 1064 00:50:26,813 --> 00:50:30,013 Speaker 10: it is. Shouldn't they go higher once they've achieved the 1065 00:50:30,093 --> 00:50:33,933 Speaker 10: X amount of percentage above you know of that target. 1066 00:50:34,253 --> 00:50:36,093 Speaker 3: Do you think you're paid fairly for what you do 1067 00:50:36,173 --> 00:50:36,573 Speaker 3: in life? 1068 00:50:36,773 --> 00:50:39,853 Speaker 10: Dean, Yes, yes I do. 1069 00:50:39,853 --> 00:50:41,653 Speaker 3: Do you ever think I wish I was a CEO? 1070 00:50:42,893 --> 00:50:43,013 Speaker 24: No? 1071 00:50:43,933 --> 00:50:45,373 Speaker 4: Yeah, me? 1072 00:50:45,493 --> 00:50:49,212 Speaker 2: Neither me neither, Because when times are good, it's very good. 1073 00:50:49,213 --> 00:50:51,533 Speaker 2: But when times are bad, you know, You've seen a 1074 00:50:51,533 --> 00:50:55,373 Speaker 2: lot of CEOs who have run into some serious head sparence. 1075 00:50:55,373 --> 00:50:59,893 Speaker 2: For example, for Fonterra, he is hated, hated, despised, and 1076 00:51:00,013 --> 00:51:01,933 Speaker 2: I mean rest his soul because he's passed away.

Firstly, I'd like to say I don't really care 1156 00:54:31,853 --> 00:54:35,013 Speaker 26: what other people earn. And if somebody has got a 1157 00:54:35,093 --> 00:54:38,613 Speaker 26: salary of many millions of dollars, well they've got the job, 1158 00:54:38,933 --> 00:54:42,053 Speaker 26: and instead of being envious of them, go out and 1159 00:54:42,093 --> 00:54:46,013 Speaker 26: get the job, do it yourself instead of making excuses. 1160 00:54:46,773 --> 00:54:51,573 Speaker 26: I've been fortunate enough to know, through actually sport, a 1161 00:54:51,613 --> 00:54:56,093 Speaker 26: lot of very very highly paid New Zealand businessmen, owners 1162 00:54:56,093 --> 00:54:59,693 Speaker 26: of corporations, directors, the works back in the days of 1163 00:54:59,733 --> 00:55:03,293 Speaker 26: Equity Corp And all of those companies, and these guys, 1164 00:55:04,013 --> 00:55:06,253 Speaker 26: they are working from the minute they wake up in 1165 00:55:06,253 --> 00:55:08,853 Speaker 26: the morning till the minute they go to be at night. 1166 00:55:09,653 --> 00:55:11,453 Speaker 26: By that, I mean the minute they wake up, they're 1167 00:55:11,493 --> 00:55:14,813 Speaker 26: thinking about their work, which is working. When they're sitting 1168 00:55:14,853 --> 00:55:17,172 Speaker 26: around at home when they get home from work at 1169 00:55:17,173 --> 00:55:20,573 Speaker 26: ten o'clock at night, they're still thinking about work. It's 1170 00:55:20,693 --> 00:55:24,973 Speaker 26: their life. And as far as I'm concerned, if they 1171 00:55:25,013 --> 00:55:27,692 Speaker 26: want to give away all of their life to earn 1172 00:55:27,813 --> 00:55:30,733 Speaker 26: twenty million dollars a year or good luck to them. 1173 00:55:31,093 --> 00:55:33,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, And to go back to your first point there, Ian, 1174 00:55:33,733 --> 00:55:36,133 Speaker 3: what I find out is that people go, someone is 1175 00:55:36,173 --> 00:55:39,453 Speaker 3: earning this money so material that the fact that they're 1176 00:55:39,493 --> 00:55:41,733 Speaker 3: earning that and you're earning what you're earning is unrelated. 1177 00:55:41,773 --> 00:55:45,373 Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, too, it's a different thing 1178 00:55:45,773 --> 00:55:47,853 Speaker 3: they earn that I don't earn, that I don't have 1179 00:55:47,853 --> 00:55:49,933 Speaker 3: the ability to earn, that no one's willing to pay 1180 00:55:49,933 --> 00:55:52,493 Speaker 3: me that. So me being angry at their earning that, 1181 00:55:52,533 --> 00:55:54,893 Speaker 3: what difference does it make? That doesn't matter? 1182 00:55:55,173 --> 00:55:59,732 Speaker 13: You know, I remember you at the Pinker thing. 1183 00:56:00,173 --> 00:56:00,613 Speaker 3: Oh yep. 1184 00:56:00,653 --> 00:56:03,293 Speaker 26: And I'm a fan of Jordan Peterson. He was asked 1185 00:56:03,333 --> 00:56:06,732 Speaker 26: this question once and he said, there is a very 1186 00:56:06,973 --> 00:56:13,973 Speaker 26: very small group, mainly men who will sacrifice everything to 1187 00:56:14,053 --> 00:56:17,013 Speaker 26: get that job. These are the sort of people that 1188 00:56:17,053 --> 00:56:20,333 Speaker 26: you drop in the forest and people are cutting trees 1189 00:56:20,373 --> 00:56:22,253 Speaker 26: and they just out before them all because they wouldn't 1190 00:56:22,253 --> 00:56:26,013 Speaker 26: have breaks. They just work. And it's a mindset that 1191 00:56:26,053 --> 00:56:29,973 Speaker 26: you and I probably don't have, and we don't desire 1192 00:56:30,093 --> 00:56:32,613 Speaker 26: to be that person. But there are a group of 1193 00:56:32,653 --> 00:56:34,853 Speaker 26: people that that's their goal in life. 1194 00:56:35,253 --> 00:56:36,933 Speaker 4: They're very driven people, no doubt about that. 1195 00:56:37,133 --> 00:56:39,853 Speaker 2: Just to play devil's advocate in so the argument I 1196 00:56:39,853 --> 00:56:42,893 Speaker 2: always see is that there are people within some of 1197 00:56:42,893 --> 00:56:44,933 Speaker 2: these organizations and they may be in the middle, they 1198 00:56:44,933 --> 00:56:47,173 Speaker 2: may be even a little higher, a little lower, but 1199 00:56:47,213 --> 00:56:49,413 Speaker 2: they would make the same argument that they dedicate and 1200 00:56:49,453 --> 00:56:52,013 Speaker 2: sacrifice a lot to do what's best for the country 1201 00:56:52,653 --> 00:56:56,373 Speaker 2: company rather, but they don't see that same level of 1202 00:56:57,013 --> 00:57:00,493 Speaker 2: reward that a CEO would get. What would you say 1203 00:57:00,493 --> 00:57:03,053 Speaker 2: to those people, AKA that they want to see the 1204 00:57:03,133 --> 00:57:07,493 Speaker 2: rewards that the business get flow down almost to the bottom. 1205 00:57:07,533 --> 00:57:08,933 Speaker 4: What would you say to those people. 1206 00:57:09,253 --> 00:57:11,212 Speaker 26: If you don't like to pay get another job? 1207 00:57:11,893 --> 00:57:14,573 Speaker 4: Yeah, straight up, yep, go become the CEO. 1208 00:57:14,653 --> 00:57:15,053 Speaker 3: You reckon? 1209 00:57:15,853 --> 00:57:19,773 Speaker 26: Oh, it's that is so tough. I've been a sales 1210 00:57:19,813 --> 00:57:23,173 Speaker 26: manager of what you would call a middle sized business. 1211 00:57:23,173 --> 00:57:27,293 Speaker 26: We turned over one hundred million, and the CEO, I mean, 1212 00:57:27,733 --> 00:57:30,213 Speaker 26: I just couldn't deal with the pressure he had to 1213 00:57:30,253 --> 00:57:33,493 Speaker 26: deal with the decisions he had to make that could 1214 00:57:33,493 --> 00:57:37,733 Speaker 26: affect the corporation, could break the corporation. He's responsible for 1215 00:57:37,813 --> 00:57:41,653 Speaker 26: thousands of jobs, and I just don't think it's in 1216 00:57:41,813 --> 00:57:43,893 Speaker 26: me to do that, or it's in him. 1217 00:57:44,773 --> 00:57:47,013 Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's interesting what you say, Ian, 1218 00:57:47,493 --> 00:57:49,733 Speaker 3: because you know, I've read a bit about Bezos, you know, 1219 00:57:49,813 --> 00:57:53,733 Speaker 3: Jeff Bezos, and he is, you know, getting Amazon going. 1220 00:57:53,813 --> 00:57:57,853 Speaker 3: He worked like an insane person. Yeah, And I think 1221 00:57:57,933 --> 00:58:00,813 Speaker 3: the cost of being Jeff Beoss is there a lot 1222 00:58:00,813 --> 00:58:03,213 Speaker 3: of money. But I wouldn't want to be Jeff Bezos. No, 1223 00:58:03,253 --> 00:58:05,053 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be one to be in that side that head. 1224 00:58:05,333 --> 00:58:08,173 Speaker 3: He's a very very odd individual. He certainly is, and 1225 00:58:09,253 --> 00:58:13,213 Speaker 3: on all kinds of working spectrums and just so singularly 1226 00:58:13,213 --> 00:58:15,533 Speaker 3: focused on what he did. It's being paid in an 1227 00:58:15,573 --> 00:58:18,373 Speaker 3: insane amount of money for it. But I would not 1228 00:58:18,413 --> 00:58:20,693 Speaker 3: want to be Jeff Bezos. For all the money Jeff Besis, he. 1229 00:58:20,773 --> 00:58:23,173 Speaker 2: It seems exhausting to be in that brain of his. Yeah, Oh, 1230 00:58:23,173 --> 00:58:24,853 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty What do you say? 1231 00:58:24,893 --> 00:58:25,533 Speaker 4: Do you agree with? 1232 00:58:25,733 --> 00:58:30,173 Speaker 2: N Are the CEOs worth every cent that they are getting? 1233 00:58:30,253 --> 00:58:32,213 Speaker 4: And they are getting a lot of cents.

So we're talking about record 1264 01:00:10,733 --> 01:00:13,853 Speaker 2: breaking CEO pay back in the headlines. New Zealand Herald 1265 01:00:14,213 --> 01:00:17,333 Speaker 2: has done an in depth look at how much our 1266 01:00:17,373 --> 01:00:20,413 Speaker 2: private CEOs get paid. They've done the top ten and 1267 01:00:20,453 --> 01:00:22,533 Speaker 2: at number one by long mile is a guy called 1268 01:00:22,573 --> 01:00:25,693 Speaker 2: Gary Miles seventeen million dollars for a company called gen Track. 1269 01:00:25,813 --> 01:00:27,093 Speaker 2: So is that getting out of hand? 1270 01:00:27,333 --> 01:00:30,093 Speaker 4: Seventeen million? Seventeen million not bad pay? 1271 01:00:31,413 --> 01:00:34,613 Speaker 3: CEO paces Jason the market of CEOs, and what they 1272 01:00:34,693 --> 01:00:37,053 Speaker 3: get paid is essentially the same as professional sports people. 1273 01:00:37,133 --> 01:00:39,693 Speaker 3: They get paid what team's prepared to pay them, just 1274 01:00:39,693 --> 01:00:42,333 Speaker 3: as the CEOs get paid what companies are prepared to 1275 01:00:42,333 --> 01:00:44,613 Speaker 3: pay them. The top CEO's demand high salaries, just like 1276 01:00:44,653 --> 01:00:47,213 Speaker 3: the top sports people demand the high salaries, and if 1277 01:00:47,253 --> 01:00:49,933 Speaker 3: you don't perform, you're gone with a big exit payment, 1278 01:00:49,973 --> 01:00:52,373 Speaker 3: of course. Jason, Yeah, but I mean that's kind of 1279 01:00:52,373 --> 01:00:54,933 Speaker 3: the way I look at it as well, Right, So 1280 01:00:55,173 --> 01:00:57,133 Speaker 3: you have to be in a position and there's very 1281 01:00:57,133 --> 01:01:00,853 Speaker 3: few people that get there to be desired to the 1282 01:01:00,853 --> 01:01:02,693 Speaker 3: point where you become a CEO and get paid that 1283 01:01:02,773 --> 01:01:05,453 Speaker 3: kind of money. It's the same thing as being shohe 1284 01:01:05,493 --> 01:01:09,933 Speaker 3: or Tani yep. So I can't be him, So I 1285 01:01:09,973 --> 01:01:11,933 Speaker 3: can't be annoyed that he gets paid seven hundred million 1286 01:01:11,933 --> 01:01:15,293 Speaker 3: dollars to play baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yeah, 1287 01:01:15,413 --> 01:01:18,653 Speaker 3: quite the reverse. Actually, I'm very pleased because I'm a 1288 01:01:18,693 --> 01:01:21,333 Speaker 3: big fan and the Emacs are doing it that sport. 1289 01:01:21,453 --> 01:01:22,933 Speaker 3: Yea more than it's ever been. 1290 01:01:22,973 --> 01:01:25,733 Speaker 2: But that's a fair point, high risk, high rewards. Keep 1291 01:01:25,773 --> 01:01:29,733 Speaker 2: those teaps coming through, Camal, How are you, I'm good? 1292 01:01:29,773 --> 01:01:33,053 Speaker 2: Thank you, Keen on your thoughts about the CEO pay. 1293 01:01:33,693 --> 01:01:34,453 Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely. 1294 01:01:34,653 --> 01:01:37,933 Speaker 24: Well, Well, to be really honest, that's not just the 1295 01:01:38,053 --> 01:01:41,253 Speaker 24: CEO that works for the company. There are people down 1296 01:01:41,333 --> 01:01:44,773 Speaker 24: the line that are actually making the sales, reaching the targets, 1297 01:01:45,053 --> 01:01:48,093 Speaker 24: and that's how the CEO is able to use all 1298 01:01:48,173 --> 01:01:51,533 Speaker 24: those resources to get a company on a different level, 1299 01:01:52,013 --> 01:01:54,973 Speaker 24: it's not just the CEO. I mean, it's ridiculous to 1300 01:01:55,013 --> 01:01:57,893 Speaker 24: come to think about it. If a CEO is getting 1301 01:01:58,093 --> 01:02:02,573 Speaker 24: a cap of ten million dollars, fine, but the rest 1302 01:02:02,613 --> 01:02:05,973 Speaker 24: of the money can be given to the lower line 1303 01:02:06,053 --> 01:02:09,093 Speaker 24: people to have a better lifestyle. I mean, yes, they 1304 01:02:09,093 --> 01:02:12,533 Speaker 24: can't take the responsibility off a CEO, but that doesn't 1305 01:02:12,533 --> 01:02:15,293 Speaker 24: mean that they don't wake up doing their job thinking 1306 01:02:15,333 --> 01:02:18,213 Speaker 24: about their job or go sleeping thinking about it. As 1307 01:02:18,213 --> 01:02:21,613 Speaker 24: a sales person, you are always thinking about your job, 1308 01:02:21,693 --> 01:02:24,693 Speaker 24: even while you're not at work. You're thinking about how 1309 01:02:24,733 --> 01:02:27,653 Speaker 24: you quite can't get the next fail or get the 1310 01:02:27,733 --> 01:02:30,693 Speaker 24: bonus that you're supposed to get in the next month. 1311 01:02:31,053 --> 01:02:34,853 Speaker 24: So I just think it's really ridiculous for people to 1312 01:02:35,093 --> 01:02:38,013 Speaker 24: just think that, oh, it's because he's able to handle 1313 01:02:38,053 --> 01:02:41,413 Speaker 24: the responsibility, then he should get the most x amount 1314 01:02:41,453 --> 01:02:43,413 Speaker 24: of money. That's ridiculous. 1315 01:02:43,573 --> 01:02:45,493 Speaker 3: What about what about? What about this argument? 1316 01:02:45,573 --> 01:02:45,813 Speaker 21: Though? 1317 01:02:46,013 --> 01:02:49,613 Speaker 3: Say, if you have a really efficient CEO, like a 1318 01:02:49,733 --> 01:02:53,333 Speaker 3: really well functioning CEO, then the company does very well. 1319 01:02:53,373 --> 01:02:56,173 Speaker 3: Then everyone keeps their jobs. If you have a bad 1320 01:02:56,253 --> 01:03:01,253 Speaker 3: CEO who makes bad decisions, then the company goes poorly 1321 01:03:01,853 --> 01:03:04,373 Speaker 3: and everyone loses their job. 1322 01:03:05,813 --> 01:03:09,373 Speaker 24: That's harpyable. Like I mean, if you think about it, right, 1323 01:03:09,933 --> 01:03:13,213 Speaker 24: a CEO that gets ten million dollars, his life is 1324 01:03:13,333 --> 01:03:17,973 Speaker 24: very comfortable. He is doing well whatever the job that 1325 01:03:18,053 --> 01:03:21,733 Speaker 24: he may be doing is. Ten million dollars is sufficient 1326 01:03:21,773 --> 01:03:24,733 Speaker 24: amount of money for a person to be working at 1327 01:03:24,853 --> 01:03:28,133 Speaker 24: least sixteen hours a day. But do you really think 1328 01:03:28,253 --> 01:03:33,573 Speaker 24: that nine hundred dollars or eight hundred dollars it's sufficient 1329 01:03:33,733 --> 01:03:36,813 Speaker 24: enough money for the people on the lower lines to 1330 01:03:36,893 --> 01:03:37,773 Speaker 24: be doing. 1331 01:03:37,933 --> 01:03:41,613 Speaker 3: Like, I totally get your agment, but I guess we 1332 01:03:41,653 --> 01:03:45,213 Speaker 3: don't decide. The board decides, and the shareholders decided. So 1333 01:03:45,493 --> 01:03:48,613 Speaker 3: someone decides that that that CEO is worth getting in, 1334 01:03:49,493 --> 01:03:52,213 Speaker 3: much like a sports team tries to get in the 1335 01:03:52,253 --> 01:03:54,773 Speaker 3: most valuable players to make their team go well. So 1336 01:03:54,813 --> 01:03:57,613 Speaker 3: the board decided, so they will make the come to 1337 01:03:57,653 --> 01:03:58,653 Speaker 3: go well members. 1338 01:03:58,853 --> 01:04:01,013 Speaker 24: Yeah, well, I think we should change the board members 1339 01:04:01,053 --> 01:04:06,133 Speaker 24: and say, maybe somebody to think, Okay, let's put a 1340 01:04:06,173 --> 01:04:10,613 Speaker 24: cap on this. If we get maximum mind of profits, 1341 01:04:10,933 --> 01:04:13,933 Speaker 24: we give them ten million dollars and the rest will 1342 01:04:13,973 --> 01:04:15,533 Speaker 24: invest back into our employees. 1343 01:04:15,653 --> 01:04:17,533 Speaker 3: Do you agree with that across the board? What about 1344 01:04:17,533 --> 01:04:20,093 Speaker 3: people moving up through the company and getting promoted, because 1345 01:04:20,093 --> 01:04:22,693 Speaker 3: it's not only in successful companies. It's not over the 1346 01:04:22,733 --> 01:04:24,133 Speaker 3: CEO that gets paid a lot of money. 1347 01:04:24,373 --> 01:04:27,333 Speaker 24: I believe that if somebody is working hard enough, they 1348 01:04:27,373 --> 01:04:30,973 Speaker 24: do deserve the increement, no doubt about that. 1349 01:04:31,013 --> 01:04:32,933 Speaker 3: Is there a cap on how much people should get paid? 1350 01:04:32,933 --> 01:04:34,213 Speaker 3: Do you think when you yeah. 1351 01:04:34,093 --> 01:04:38,733 Speaker 24: I'm seventeen million dollars, I think eleven million dollars. 1352 01:04:38,773 --> 01:04:39,693 Speaker 6: It's a bit extreet. 1353 01:04:40,213 --> 01:04:41,813 Speaker 24: That's is my point of view. 1354 01:04:42,573 --> 01:04:44,413 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for sharing.

They can spot 1360 01:04:57,493 --> 01:05:00,413 Speaker 2: the talent, and they reward that talent to keep them 1361 01:05:00,413 --> 01:05:02,653 Speaker 2: in the company because it's in their best interest right 1362 01:05:02,693 --> 01:05:04,733 Speaker 2: that they want the best of the best best within 1363 01:05:04,773 --> 01:05:07,773 Speaker 2: their organization to keep the boat going forward and to 1364 01:05:07,813 --> 01:05:09,853 Speaker 2: keep doing as well as some of these companies are doing. 1365 01:05:10,013 --> 01:05:12,773 Speaker 2: So if you are a good CEO, you reward the 1366 01:05:12,813 --> 01:05:15,573 Speaker 2: good people, and then it's on you to be one 1367 01:05:15,613 --> 01:05:18,093 Speaker 2: of those good people, to be a hard worker, and 1368 01:05:18,133 --> 01:05:19,813 Speaker 2: then you can get some of those riches yourself. 1369 01:05:21,013 --> 01:05:24,613 Speaker 24: Oh yeah, I mean it's affable, but the CEO doesn't 1370 01:05:24,653 --> 01:05:27,293 Speaker 24: necessarily go down to the bottom line to see if 1371 01:05:27,333 --> 01:05:29,653 Speaker 24: everything is going the way he's wanting it to go. 1372 01:05:30,093 --> 01:05:33,653 Speaker 24: I mean, in these big corporation companies, you see people 1373 01:05:33,813 --> 01:05:36,453 Speaker 24: on a daily life that are complaining about life, but 1374 01:05:36,613 --> 01:05:38,893 Speaker 24: still have to go to work because they just have 1375 01:05:38,973 --> 01:05:39,693 Speaker 24: to make a living. 1376 01:05:40,053 --> 01:05:43,533 Speaker 3: Well, the CEO will get a good CEO will make 1377 01:05:43,573 --> 01:05:45,813 Speaker 3: sure that he's getting good reporting or she. 1378 01:05:46,373 --> 01:05:48,293 Speaker 4: No, exactly we're basing that on. 1379 01:05:48,693 --> 01:05:52,253 Speaker 24: We are basing that on the process that the company 1380 01:05:52,373 --> 01:05:57,333 Speaker 24: is making, rather than doing a actually do a saw 1381 01:05:57,773 --> 01:06:00,133 Speaker 24: from the lower line people to see how happy they 1382 01:06:00,133 --> 01:06:02,493 Speaker 24: are in their job. We are just basing this on 1383 01:06:02,853 --> 01:06:06,293 Speaker 24: how much profit a company is making at the moment. 1384 01:06:06,413 --> 01:06:10,693 Speaker 24: With the situation, anybody, even if you're unhappy with your job, 1385 01:06:10,893 --> 01:06:12,093 Speaker 24: you still got to go to work. 1386 01:06:12,173 --> 01:06:14,333 Speaker 3: So do you think that heavy do you think everyone 1387 01:06:14,373 --> 01:06:16,653 Speaker 3: should get paid the same amount or there should be 1388 01:06:16,653 --> 01:06:20,413 Speaker 3: some variation. It could be to skill and training. 1389 01:06:21,573 --> 01:06:24,253 Speaker 24: So what I'm saying, I'm not saying give them also 1390 01:06:24,333 --> 01:06:26,813 Speaker 24: give them a ten million dollars. But if what I'm 1391 01:06:26,853 --> 01:06:29,453 Speaker 24: saying is that if a CEO is kept at like 1392 01:06:29,533 --> 01:06:32,533 Speaker 24: ten million dollars, which I think for an early rate, 1393 01:06:32,853 --> 01:06:35,533 Speaker 24: ten million dollar dollars is a lot of money and 1394 01:06:35,733 --> 01:06:38,693 Speaker 24: the rest amount of money if it's invested, and the 1395 01:06:38,733 --> 01:06:41,053 Speaker 24: people on the lower line who not to say that 1396 01:06:41,093 --> 01:06:42,493 Speaker 24: they might make even more profit. 1397 01:06:42,853 --> 01:06:44,093 Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much for call. If it was 1398 01:06:44,173 --> 01:06:46,013 Speaker 3: kept at ten million, then no one would be getting 1399 01:06:46,013 --> 01:06:49,293 Speaker 3: them then that amount last year, but just this year 1400 01:06:49,333 --> 01:06:53,133 Speaker 3: Gary Mills from gin Track due to sort of rear circumstances, 1401 01:06:53,253 --> 01:06:55,693 Speaker 3: was on seventeen million. But the next on the list 1402 01:06:55,813 --> 01:06:59,253 Speaker 3: is seven point seven million a year. So if you 1403 01:06:59,333 --> 01:07:01,213 Speaker 3: kept it at ten million dollars in most of the 1404 01:07:01,293 --> 01:07:02,293 Speaker 3: CEOs would be happy. 1405 01:07:02,333 --> 01:07:04,933 Speaker 2: Nothing would change, Yes, But thank you very much for 1406 01:07:04,973 --> 01:07:07,533 Speaker 2: your call.

So are they 1417 01:07:31,093 --> 01:07:33,653 Speaker 2: justified or are they getting a little bit out of hands? 1418 01:07:34,773 --> 01:07:36,413 Speaker 3: What do we pay the Prime Minister of New Zealand? 1419 01:07:36,453 --> 01:07:38,893 Speaker 3: How well is New Zealand? And? Methinks businesses know something 1420 01:07:38,933 --> 01:07:43,653 Speaker 3: about performance, success and excellence, thing about democracy? Says I 1421 01:07:43,693 --> 01:07:47,053 Speaker 3: guess arguably we're the board of directors and we're the shareholders, 1422 01:07:47,413 --> 01:07:51,013 Speaker 3: and I don't think we would sign off on at 1423 01:07:51,053 --> 01:07:53,173 Speaker 3: the Prime Minister getting seventeen million dollars a year. 1424 01:07:53,253 --> 01:07:55,013 Speaker 4: No exactly, Jimmy, how are you? 1425 01:07:55,933 --> 01:07:56,093 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1426 01:07:56,133 --> 01:07:57,733 Speaker 13: Goodday guys, How are you guys good? 1427 01:07:57,893 --> 01:07:58,453 Speaker 4: What do you reckon? 1428 01:07:59,413 --> 01:08:02,493 Speaker 27: I must agree with the Corra a few calls to 1429 01:08:02,493 --> 01:08:04,493 Speaker 27: go in. I think his name was he still my thunder. 1430 01:08:04,493 --> 01:08:09,893 Speaker 27: But these CEOs and these mega companies are there wide 1431 01:08:09,933 --> 01:08:13,173 Speaker 27: a different way and I think the country just needs 1432 01:08:13,213 --> 01:08:14,933 Speaker 27: to step back a little bit and understand it. If 1433 01:08:14,973 --> 01:08:17,492 Speaker 27: you want to demand that type of income and next 1434 01:08:17,532 --> 01:08:20,013 Speaker 27: type of money. There's a whole lot of sacrifice and 1435 01:08:20,093 --> 01:08:22,253 Speaker 27: risk and time and effort that's gone on to getting there. 1436 01:08:22,733 --> 01:08:25,333 Speaker 27: None of these people are there by fluke. And when 1437 01:08:25,372 --> 01:08:27,572 Speaker 27: you actually look at the companies they are running, the 1438 01:08:27,612 --> 01:08:29,532 Speaker 27: are the ones that are sort of keeping the country going. 1439 01:08:29,572 --> 01:08:30,732 Speaker 27: So we've kind of got to be a little bit 1440 01:08:30,732 --> 01:08:32,333 Speaker 27: careful not to buy the hand that feeds us. 1441 01:08:34,053 --> 01:08:36,372 Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of people agree with that, Jimmy, 1442 01:08:36,452 --> 01:08:40,213 Speaker 2: judging by the text machine. What about the grumbles around 1443 01:08:40,293 --> 01:08:43,012 Speaker 2: and I mentioned this earlier, the grumbles around the CEOs 1444 01:08:43,013 --> 01:08:46,293 Speaker 2: of the that as sorry, the bank CEO salary. So 1445 01:08:46,772 --> 01:08:49,532 Speaker 2: you know, there's been a lot of discussion around the 1446 01:08:49,572 --> 01:08:52,012 Speaker 2: profits that banks make in this country. Are we getting 1447 01:08:52,013 --> 01:08:54,732 Speaker 2: a raw deal compared to our Aussies? Do you think 1448 01:08:55,093 --> 01:08:57,293 Speaker 2: bank customers have any right to feel a bit of 1449 01:08:57,333 --> 01:09:01,093 Speaker 2: resentment when they see those sort of figures. 1450 01:09:01,293 --> 01:09:03,933 Speaker 27: It's an argument that exists, but I think it's blending 1451 01:09:04,372 --> 01:09:06,692 Speaker 27: more than one argument together. If you're looking clearly at 1452 01:09:06,692 --> 01:09:10,772 Speaker 27: the performance of the company, than the CEO yes, probably 1453 01:09:10,812 --> 01:09:13,572 Speaker 27: does deserve that. And I think that's one thing that 1454 01:09:13,933 --> 01:09:16,133 Speaker 27: we get probably tied up with in this country as 1455 01:09:16,133 --> 01:09:17,933 Speaker 27: we see the problem that we want an answer to 1456 01:09:18,013 --> 01:09:22,652 Speaker 27: and we attached that to a separate issue, the issue 1457 01:09:22,652 --> 01:09:25,092 Speaker 27: of profit staying on shore or offshore in a company 1458 01:09:25,213 --> 01:09:28,133 Speaker 27: like a bank or a frontier or something like that 1459 01:09:28,372 --> 01:09:30,293 Speaker 27: is kind of irrelevant to what the CEO gets paid, 1460 01:09:30,372 --> 01:09:33,772 Speaker 27: in my view, and I think we're really guilty of 1461 01:09:33,812 --> 01:09:35,293 Speaker 27: that as a country at the moment, because we're all 1462 01:09:35,372 --> 01:09:39,333 Speaker 27: trying to grasp onto some way of justifying how hard 1463 01:09:39,372 --> 01:09:41,333 Speaker 27: our position is and how hard we work, and we're 1464 01:09:41,333 --> 01:09:44,852 Speaker 27: all wanting some sort of relevant reward to justify that effort, 1465 01:09:45,053 --> 01:09:47,732 Speaker 27: and it's really easy to I mean, is that the 1466 01:09:47,772 --> 01:09:50,093 Speaker 27: tall poppy syndrome? I don't know, but I mean I've 1467 01:09:50,093 --> 01:09:52,372 Speaker 27: started from I remember when I started working at was 1468 01:09:52,412 --> 01:09:55,612 Speaker 27: six dollars fifty an hour as a kid, getting up 1469 01:09:55,652 --> 01:09:57,852 Speaker 27: to sort of thirty forty fifty dollars an hour now, 1470 01:09:58,412 --> 01:10:00,412 Speaker 27: it might have been resented because I've spent twenty five 1471 01:10:00,492 --> 01:10:03,612 Speaker 27: years working to get to that point. A lot of 1472 01:10:03,652 --> 01:10:06,412 Speaker 27: these CEOs spend a lot of time also on governance committees, 1473 01:10:07,372 --> 01:10:11,372 Speaker 27: community boards and things like that. I just think relative 1474 01:10:11,412 --> 01:10:15,892 Speaker 27: to what the output is. And I mean, yes, middle 1475 01:10:15,893 --> 01:10:18,852 Speaker 27: management can get very upset and very angry if they 1476 01:10:18,893 --> 01:10:20,452 Speaker 27: can see that the CEO of the people who are 1477 01:10:20,452 --> 01:10:23,333 Speaker 27: above them are getting ten to fifteen, twenty times more 1478 01:10:23,333 --> 01:10:25,692 Speaker 27: than them. But like I said, if you don't like 1479 01:10:25,772 --> 01:10:28,093 Speaker 27: your pay, go out and find it. If you want 1480 01:10:28,133 --> 01:10:31,692 Speaker 27: more money, go and upskill and get yourself in that 1481 01:10:31,692 --> 01:10:33,333 Speaker 27: position to demand that money. 1482 01:10:34,013 --> 01:10:37,013 Speaker 3: It's an interesting point, isn't it. Because it's what I 1483 01:10:37,053 --> 01:10:39,333 Speaker 3: get paid, is what I get paid, But it's because 1484 01:10:39,333 --> 01:10:42,293 Speaker 3: that's what someone will pay me. So if you happen 1485 01:10:42,333 --> 01:10:43,892 Speaker 3: to be the kind of person that someone will pay 1486 01:10:43,933 --> 01:10:46,372 Speaker 3: you that kind of money, then however you got there, 1487 01:10:46,452 --> 01:10:49,093 Speaker 3: that's great. But just to say that someone gets paid 1488 01:10:49,093 --> 01:10:52,452 Speaker 3: too much, that's what someone's willing to pay. Someone has 1489 01:10:52,492 --> 01:10:54,532 Speaker 3: decided that that person is worth too much and that 1490 01:10:54,612 --> 01:10:57,652 Speaker 3: was their decision to make. And someone else has decided 1491 01:10:58,133 --> 01:11:00,732 Speaker 3: what I'm worth to pay, and that was their decision 1492 01:11:00,732 --> 01:11:03,093 Speaker 3: to make. And all the decision that I've got to 1493 01:11:03,093 --> 01:11:06,132 Speaker 3: make as being as competent as I can be and 1494 01:11:06,412 --> 01:11:09,452 Speaker 3: you know, doing what I do and being as valuable 1495 01:11:09,452 --> 01:11:09,852 Speaker 3: as I can. 1496 01:11:10,053 --> 01:11:13,133 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the world I find. 1497 01:11:13,173 --> 01:11:14,732 Speaker 27: If it was so simple to say, I'll just chuck 1498 01:11:14,772 --> 01:11:15,933 Speaker 27: the board out and then you're just going to have 1499 01:11:15,973 --> 01:11:17,692 Speaker 27: a whole bunch of different people with the same amount 1500 01:11:17,692 --> 01:11:20,412 Speaker 27: of view. I think it has to become Look at 1501 01:11:20,412 --> 01:11:22,452 Speaker 27: the company you're working for, look at the output and 1502 01:11:22,452 --> 01:11:25,013 Speaker 27: what they contributing to society as a whole. And I 1503 01:11:25,013 --> 01:11:27,172 Speaker 27: think if you bring it back to banks and profits 1504 01:11:27,173 --> 01:11:29,372 Speaker 27: and not staying offshore and the fairness of that, I 1505 01:11:29,372 --> 01:11:31,932 Speaker 27: think it's a separate issue, just like it's a separate 1506 01:11:31,933 --> 01:11:33,692 Speaker 27: issue that the man who was in charge of fon 1507 01:11:33,772 --> 01:11:37,852 Speaker 27: terror selling milk powder offshore is automatically deciding the price 1508 01:11:37,893 --> 01:11:40,132 Speaker 27: of butter on the shelf. Separate issue. But we're attaching 1509 01:11:40,133 --> 01:11:42,612 Speaker 27: our emotions, yeah, for the easiest, low hanging fruit. 1510 01:11:42,772 --> 01:11:42,972 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1511 01:11:43,013 --> 01:11:45,532 Speaker 3: I just think it's ridiculous.

I'm angry 1517 01:11:58,452 --> 01:11:59,132 Speaker 3: about I bite. 1518 01:11:59,013 --> 01:12:01,173 Speaker 4: Any time, mate.

The New Zealand Herald has done a deep 1571 01:14:03,933 --> 01:14:06,093 Speaker 2: dive into it and given us the top ten. At 1572 01:14:06,173 --> 01:14:09,532 Speaker 2: number one, Gary Miles, the head of cent Track, earned 1573 01:14:09,572 --> 01:14:13,013 Speaker 2: seventeen million dollars. Number two Dave bought A Lassi the 1574 01:14:13,053 --> 01:14:15,532 Speaker 2: head of a two Milk at seven million dollars. So 1575 01:14:15,732 --> 01:14:18,093 Speaker 2: are they worth that sort of money or is it 1576 01:14:18,093 --> 01:14:19,812 Speaker 2: getting a little bit out of hand?

I worked in both private and public 1579 01:14:25,372 --> 01:14:28,493 Speaker 2: sectors and have worked with many senior leaders who aspire 1580 01:14:28,893 --> 01:14:31,012 Speaker 2: to be the best. Unfortunately, many of them are stupid 1581 01:14:31,013 --> 01:14:33,692 Speaker 2: and have no self reflection about their own capabilities. When 1582 01:14:33,732 --> 01:14:36,253 Speaker 2: a CEO or senior leader is good, they deserve to 1583 01:14:36,253 --> 01:14:39,613 Speaker 2: be paid whatever it takes for the organization to be successful. 1584 01:14:39,652 --> 01:14:42,213 Speaker 2: They make up for the numpties who tricked their way 1585 01:14:42,213 --> 01:14:46,333 Speaker 2: into jobs because they can use buzzwords. That's from Jason, Sue, 1586 01:14:46,412 --> 01:14:47,452 Speaker 2: how are you this afternoon? 1587 01:14:48,532 --> 01:14:50,652 Speaker 11: I'm really well, Thank you, How are you good? 1588 01:14:50,732 --> 01:14:53,013 Speaker 4: Nice to chat with you, Ken on your thoughts. 1589 01:14:53,572 --> 01:14:59,613 Speaker 11: Well, I'd like to understand whether the seventeen million plus 1590 01:14:59,933 --> 01:15:03,133 Speaker 11: is a salary for the package for the year. 1591 01:15:03,253 --> 01:15:06,133 Speaker 3: Do you know, the young that's the package. So that's 1592 01:15:06,133 --> 01:15:08,932 Speaker 3: an outlier. He's not going to get paid there next year, 1593 01:15:08,973 --> 01:15:13,293 Speaker 3: and it's actually skewed the numbers greatly. He's so far 1594 01:15:13,293 --> 01:15:16,372 Speaker 3: ahead of everyone else about ten million dollars. Ever, because 1595 01:15:16,412 --> 01:15:19,813 Speaker 3: of the package, as you say, soon, okay. 1596 01:15:19,532 --> 01:15:23,532 Speaker 11: So what part of the seventeen million dollars is the salary? 1597 01:15:23,732 --> 01:15:24,213 Speaker 19: Do we know? 1598 01:15:25,213 --> 01:15:27,732 Speaker 2: They've broke it, broke broken it down to the best 1599 01:15:27,732 --> 01:15:30,652 Speaker 2: of their extent, but it's not quite as clear cut 1600 01:15:30,692 --> 01:15:32,732 Speaker 2: because they say as part of the package, obviously these 1601 01:15:32,732 --> 01:15:35,333 Speaker 2: shares involved, there's bonuses involved, and there's a few other 1602 01:15:35,572 --> 01:15:38,213 Speaker 2: bits and pieces, but we don't have that specific figure. 1603 01:15:39,492 --> 01:15:43,213 Speaker 11: Okay, So let's pretend for a moment that the man 1604 01:15:43,333 --> 01:15:49,452 Speaker 11: has done seventeen million dollars for his performance to twelve months. Clearly, 1605 01:15:49,572 --> 01:15:54,853 Speaker 11: the company has done well and his performance has earned him. 1606 01:15:54,973 --> 01:15:56,253 Speaker 24: That amount of money. 1607 01:15:56,652 --> 01:16:00,572 Speaker 11: I say, the company and the board have done really well. 1608 01:16:00,933 --> 01:16:06,492 Speaker 11: They've appointed somebody, given him clear instructions, and he has delivered. Now, 1609 01:16:06,492 --> 01:16:09,812 Speaker 11: if I was a shareholder, i'd been clapping my hands 1610 01:16:10,293 --> 01:16:14,253 Speaker 11: because if he's earning big, so are my shares. The 1611 01:16:14,372 --> 01:16:18,532 Speaker 11: second point I'd like to make is that i'd like 1612 01:16:18,612 --> 01:16:24,173 Speaker 11: to take you guys to task, because all day I've 1613 01:16:24,213 --> 01:16:28,412 Speaker 11: been listening to this and all day I'm hearing people 1614 01:16:29,173 --> 01:16:35,812 Speaker 11: complaining about somebody else's hard earned income based on not 1615 01:16:36,053 --> 01:16:41,812 Speaker 11: full information. So before you continue to spout on about it. 1616 01:16:41,893 --> 01:16:44,892 Speaker 3: Oh god, so come on, you have that's not what 1617 01:16:44,973 --> 01:16:45,732 Speaker 3: you've heard at all. 1618 01:16:46,293 --> 01:16:48,412 Speaker 4: To come on, I thought we'd been pretty fair. 1619 01:16:48,612 --> 01:16:51,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, you made your point, but that's just that's just 1620 01:16:51,213 --> 01:16:53,612 Speaker 3: that's come on, Sue, You're better than that.

Ever, right, 1659 01:18:36,692 --> 01:18:40,333 Speaker 12: top percentile in terms of the luck that we have had. 1660 01:18:41,053 --> 01:18:43,933 Speaker 12: That the lives like the colorific intake that we just 1661 01:18:43,973 --> 01:18:46,293 Speaker 12: take for granted, the fact that our children don't die, 1662 01:18:46,893 --> 01:18:49,852 Speaker 12: you know, in the first year, the modern medicine, and 1663 01:18:50,053 --> 01:18:52,372 Speaker 12: our lives and are the entertainment that we get. 1664 01:18:52,412 --> 01:18:53,812 Speaker 3: We're living like kings. 1665 01:18:54,612 --> 01:18:59,133 Speaker 12: And yet life has never been objectively better and subjectively 1666 01:18:59,293 --> 01:19:04,092 Speaker 12: worse because the nature of humanity is our desires are mimetic. 1667 01:19:04,652 --> 01:19:06,572 Speaker 12: So we've got this thing where we're sort of you know, 1668 01:19:06,772 --> 01:19:09,852 Speaker 12: how happy are you? Well, it's it's your quality of 1669 01:19:09,893 --> 01:19:15,053 Speaker 12: life minus envy. That's how happy you are. And it's 1670 01:19:15,093 --> 01:19:18,692 Speaker 12: easy to look at everyone else and how they're doing 1671 01:19:19,133 --> 01:19:22,732 Speaker 12: and not take pleasure in what you have. You get 1672 01:19:22,853 --> 01:19:26,013 Speaker 12: used to how great your life is. No one had 1673 01:19:26,013 --> 01:19:28,492 Speaker 12: a hot shower until fifty years ago, So I try 1674 01:19:28,532 --> 01:19:30,132 Speaker 12: and do this thing when you stand in a hot shower. 1675 01:19:30,213 --> 01:19:32,213 Speaker 12: George Mack, my friend pointed this out to me. Well, 1676 01:19:32,293 --> 01:19:34,052 Speaker 12: when you're stand in a hot shower, just for a moment, 1677 01:19:34,133 --> 01:19:36,572 Speaker 12: just go well, no one that you admire from one 1678 01:19:36,612 --> 01:19:39,173 Speaker 12: hundred years ago had this simple pleasure in life. 1679 01:19:40,013 --> 01:19:40,772 Speaker 4: Mann, he's good. 1680 01:19:40,933 --> 01:19:46,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's great.

It's incredible. Of course, real 1684 01:19:56,093 --> 01:19:57,972 Speaker 3: men like me have cold showers. But you get the point. 1685 01:19:59,452 --> 01:20:01,532 Speaker 3: It's the quality of your life. Happiness is the quality 1686 01:20:01,572 --> 01:20:02,852 Speaker 3: of your life minus envy. 1687 01:20:02,933 --> 01:20:05,812 Speaker 4: That was the line that is a beautiful from Jimmy Carr. 1688 01:20:05,853 --> 01:20:07,932 Speaker 2: That's a public service a hit of the Long week 1689 01:20:08,013 --> 01:20:11,492 Speaker 2: ind Oh yeah, right, let's get into this topic speaking of. 1690 01:20:11,492 --> 01:20:13,652 Speaker 3: A public service before the long weekend.

Mates. 1699 01:20:32,612 --> 01:20:34,452 Speaker 2: It is an important event for a lot of people. Hey, 1700 01:20:34,532 --> 01:20:37,212 Speaker 2: just a reminder and about twenty five minutes New Zealander 1701 01:20:37,293 --> 01:20:39,572 Speaker 2: of the Week, so standby for that. But in the meantime, 1702 01:20:39,652 --> 01:20:42,372 Speaker 2: let's have a chat about marriage or lack of marriage. 1703 01:20:42,452 --> 01:20:45,253 Speaker 2: It's becoming less appealing for the younger generations, according to 1704 01:20:45,253 --> 01:20:47,333 Speaker 2: an article in The New York Times, as people no 1705 01:20:47,412 --> 01:20:50,732 Speaker 2: longer see it as essential to adulthoods so they say 1706 01:20:50,772 --> 01:20:55,253 Speaker 2: greater independence, especially for women, along with skepticism about traditional 1707 01:20:55,333 --> 01:20:58,452 Speaker 2: roles and the benefits of marriage, has shifted attitudes. Many 1708 01:20:58,532 --> 01:21:03,173 Speaker 2: now prefer flexible relationships, like long term partnerships or even 1709 01:21:04,133 --> 01:21:05,372 Speaker 2: forever engagements. 1710 01:21:06,093 --> 01:21:08,852 Speaker 3: Why is it greater independence especially for women? Why do 1711 01:21:08,933 --> 01:21:11,213 Speaker 3: woman have less independence than marriage than men? 1712 01:21:12,133 --> 01:21:14,333 Speaker 2: Well, this goes on to the traditional roles. So the 1713 01:21:14,452 --> 01:21:16,612 Speaker 2: article says that women are pushing back. They think the 1714 01:21:16,652 --> 01:21:19,333 Speaker 2: idea of marriage, a man and a woman being married, 1715 01:21:19,572 --> 01:21:22,532 Speaker 2: that there's somehow that tradition that the man has more 1716 01:21:22,612 --> 01:21:25,333 Speaker 2: power in that relationship than the woman. You know, the 1717 01:21:25,372 --> 01:21:27,452 Speaker 2: idea of the father walking her down the. 1718 01:21:27,772 --> 01:21:29,452 Speaker 3: That's someone that's never seen a marriage. 1719 01:21:30,333 --> 01:21:33,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, So I think you can question that 1720 01:21:33,492 --> 01:21:36,772 Speaker 2: whole idea of greater independence if you you know, I'm 1721 01:21:36,853 --> 01:21:39,852 Speaker 2: using the term with quotation marks here tied down, which 1722 01:21:39,893 --> 01:21:42,572 Speaker 2: is an awful saying, but that is where they're getting 1723 01:21:42,612 --> 01:21:45,452 Speaker 2: some of this perception from that somehow, as especially for women, 1724 01:21:45,452 --> 01:21:47,253 Speaker 2: they're going to be tied down in a marriage, so 1725 01:21:47,293 --> 01:21:48,492 Speaker 2: it doesn't appeal to them anymore. 1726 01:21:48,732 --> 01:21:50,412 Speaker 3: A man's tied down in a marriage as well, right, 1727 01:21:50,492 --> 01:21:52,532 Speaker 3: that's and tied down is the wrong word, right. You 1728 01:21:52,652 --> 01:21:55,973 Speaker 3: form a partnership that's that's more powerful than the some 1729 01:21:56,093 --> 01:21:58,532 Speaker 3: of its parts. That's the right idea of a marriage. Yeah, 1730 01:21:58,532 --> 01:22:03,053 Speaker 3: but you're engaged, tyler, Yes? Is that just going to 1731 01:22:03,053 --> 01:22:05,213 Speaker 3: be a forever engagement? Do you think in an engagement's 1732 01:22:05,293 --> 01:22:07,732 Speaker 3: enough or are you going to actually go through with 1733 01:22:07,853 --> 01:22:11,093 Speaker 3: the marriage? I guess back in the day, right, you 1734 01:22:11,173 --> 01:22:16,532 Speaker 3: weren't sleeping in the same beds, and hence why the 1735 01:22:16,532 --> 01:22:19,852 Speaker 3: bride and groom would leave very early have a bunch 1736 01:22:19,853 --> 01:22:22,452 Speaker 3: of cans attached to the back of their car rather 1737 01:22:22,532 --> 01:22:25,372 Speaker 3: than parting. The last wedding I went to, everyone was 1738 01:22:25,412 --> 01:22:29,253 Speaker 3: partying deep into the night, correct, because they didn't have 1739 01:22:29,293 --> 01:22:32,293 Speaker 3: any pressing business that they hadn't been involved in before 1740 01:22:32,532 --> 01:22:35,333 Speaker 3: they needed to rush home to get involved with, right exactly. 1741 01:22:35,772 --> 01:22:40,133 Speaker 3: So that used to move engagements forward pretty quickly, right 1742 01:22:40,652 --> 01:22:42,812 Speaker 3: in the days, when you know. 1743 01:22:42,812 --> 01:22:44,732 Speaker 2: You're getting pretty eager by that stage that you just 1744 01:22:44,732 --> 01:22:46,052 Speaker 2: wanted to seal the deal. 1745 01:22:46,173 --> 01:22:47,452 Speaker 3: I think everyone knows what you're talking about. 1746 01:22:47,532 --> 01:22:50,093 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can read the subtext there. But yeah, 1747 01:22:50,093 --> 01:22:50,372 Speaker 4: I look. 1748 01:22:50,412 --> 01:22:52,852 Speaker 2: I mean, I've made no secret about the fact that 1749 01:22:53,293 --> 01:22:56,572 Speaker 2: when I was a little bit younger, I wasn't that 1750 01:22:56,692 --> 01:22:58,852 Speaker 2: interested in getting married, just because I didn't think I 1751 01:22:58,933 --> 01:23:02,093 Speaker 2: needed to go and take that final step to say 1752 01:23:02,133 --> 01:23:03,492 Speaker 2: that I'm committed to somebody. 1753 01:23:03,492 --> 01:23:04,092 Speaker 4: But I've changed. 1754 01:23:04,173 --> 01:23:06,572 Speaker 2: I've changed obviously, as soon as I dropped the knee 1755 01:23:06,572 --> 01:23:09,333 Speaker 2: and I engaged them and proposed to Mave, and we're 1756 01:23:09,372 --> 01:23:12,972 Speaker 2: now engaged. Of course, I will go through and finish 1757 01:23:13,013 --> 01:23:14,652 Speaker 2: the job. I mean, that sounds like an awful way 1758 01:23:14,652 --> 01:23:15,093 Speaker 2: to say it. 1759 01:23:15,612 --> 01:23:16,852 Speaker 4: I shouldn't have phrased it that way. 1760 01:23:16,933 --> 01:23:17,972 Speaker 3: Better finish this job. 1761 01:23:19,532 --> 01:23:21,932 Speaker 4: I will walk down the aisle with my beloved Mave 1762 01:23:22,133 --> 01:23:24,652 Speaker 4: and we will get married, and I'm really looking forward 1763 01:23:24,652 --> 01:23:26,412 Speaker 4: to it. Where I didn't used to think like that. 1764 01:23:26,732 --> 01:23:29,452 Speaker 3: Mates, you're patting yourself on the back. You were thirty 1765 01:23:29,572 --> 01:23:32,692 Speaker 3: nine when you asked you to marry you. Yes, thirty nine. 1766 01:23:33,093 --> 01:23:34,132 Speaker 3: But I was wrong. 1767 01:23:34,412 --> 01:23:36,892 Speaker 2: I was wrong to think that marriage didn't matter because 1768 01:23:36,893 --> 01:23:41,853 Speaker 2: I can actually see you know the ritual and the 1769 01:23:41,973 --> 01:23:44,532 Speaker 2: essence behind it. As you said, it's about forming that 1770 01:23:44,612 --> 01:23:47,772 Speaker 2: partnership and a team going forward. And you've got your 1771 01:23:47,973 --> 01:23:50,892 Speaker 2: your companion there, whoever it may be, that you're in 1772 01:23:50,933 --> 01:23:52,372 Speaker 2: it together thick and thin. 1773 01:23:53,173 --> 01:23:55,253 Speaker 4: That is your mate for the rest of your life, 1774 01:23:55,293 --> 01:23:56,572 Speaker 4: and you're going to work as a team to do 1775 01:23:56,612 --> 01:23:58,052 Speaker 4: the best in this thing we call life. 1776 01:23:58,133 --> 01:24:01,772 Speaker 3: Women lose their surnames with marriage. That's not very independent, 1777 01:24:01,772 --> 01:24:04,293 Speaker 3: but they don't have to. You can hyphenate them. You 1778 01:24:04,333 --> 01:24:06,692 Speaker 3: can have one of those Ponzi hyphenated names, like ninety 1779 01:24:06,692 --> 01:24:07,572 Speaker 3: percent of the Warriors do. 1780 01:24:07,812 --> 01:24:10,572 Speaker 4: Yep, exactly. They love that in the Warriors. 1781 01:24:10,612 --> 01:24:12,412 Speaker 3: Were you going to are you gonna make may take 1782 01:24:12,933 --> 01:24:15,293 Speaker 3: the Adam's name she wants to and then have a 1783 01:24:15,293 --> 01:24:16,293 Speaker 3: little Adam's family. 1784 01:24:18,253 --> 01:24:19,372 Speaker 4: That was a sit of for your mate. 1785 01:24:19,692 --> 01:24:22,812 Speaker 2: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighties. So if you're a 1786 01:24:22,853 --> 01:24:26,612 Speaker 2: little bit younger or you think that marriage has never 1787 01:24:26,652 --> 01:24:29,333 Speaker 2: been something that you're into, keen to hear your story. 1788 01:24:29,293 --> 01:24:31,612 Speaker 4: I eight one hundred and eighty ten eighties at number Craig. 1789 01:24:31,412 --> 01:24:34,612 Speaker 3: Says, I'm him Matt and Tyler, my partner and I 1790 01:24:34,652 --> 01:24:37,852 Speaker 3: have been together for thirty five years, three houses, children 1791 01:24:37,933 --> 01:24:40,572 Speaker 3: together and not married. I don't believe a ring brings 1792 01:24:40,572 --> 01:24:43,732 Speaker 3: commitment as a few friends around us have been married 1793 01:24:43,772 --> 01:24:47,293 Speaker 3: then divorced. We don't see marriage as a must to 1794 01:24:47,333 --> 01:24:49,213 Speaker 3: show our commitment. Cheers Craig. 1795 01:24:49,732 --> 01:24:50,732 Speaker 4: Do you agree with Craig? 1796 01:24:50,853 --> 01:24:53,092 Speaker 3: Well, legally it doesn't make a whole he bit difference, 1797 01:24:53,133 --> 01:24:53,412 Speaker 3: does it. 1798 01:24:53,532 --> 01:24:56,173 Speaker 2: No, if you're with someone for three years, then it 1799 01:24:56,173 --> 01:24:57,492 Speaker 2: gets split down the middle anyway. 1800 01:24:57,532 --> 01:24:59,013 Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that's part of it, because a lot 1801 01:24:59,013 --> 01:25:02,812 Speaker 3: of marriage was, you know, financial for women. I think 1802 01:25:03,412 --> 01:25:06,893 Speaker 3: the text actually says that the women have more independence 1803 01:25:06,973 --> 01:25:09,093 Speaker 3: without marriage comes from the fact that marriage used to 1804 01:25:09,093 --> 01:25:11,372 Speaker 3: be required for women in order to procure a future 1805 01:25:11,412 --> 01:25:14,213 Speaker 3: and financial stability. Now women are able to have financial 1806 01:25:14,253 --> 01:25:18,093 Speaker 3: stability without being married, so it's less of a requirement 1807 01:25:18,973 --> 01:25:23,932 Speaker 3: because often, you know, far from I guess taking away 1808 01:25:23,973 --> 01:25:27,333 Speaker 3: someone else's independence, what you're doing when you're marrying someone 1809 01:25:27,572 --> 01:25:31,812 Speaker 3: is saying I'm going to make you I guess. Actually 1810 01:25:31,812 --> 01:25:33,732 Speaker 3: that doesn't make sense what I'm trying to say.

Yeah. 1845 01:27:02,093 --> 01:27:05,213 Speaker 3: So part of the idea of a marriage, the union 1846 01:27:05,213 --> 01:27:07,173 Speaker 3: of people, is that you're making the statement in front 1847 01:27:07,173 --> 01:27:10,692 Speaker 3: of a low of people.

It is, just 1854 01:27:26,333 --> 01:27:29,492 Speaker 3: to go through with the wedding is quite a commitment. 1855 01:27:29,532 --> 01:27:31,892 Speaker 3: This text, however, says marriage is an institution. But who 1856 01:27:31,933 --> 01:27:34,293 Speaker 3: wants to live in an institution? However, I did as 1857 01:27:34,333 --> 01:27:37,452 Speaker 3: I get old forty and needed to be careful, big Dave. 1858 01:27:37,692 --> 01:27:39,972 Speaker 4: Good on your Dave cecil, How are you? 1859 01:27:41,013 --> 01:27:41,372 Speaker 6: I'm good? 1860 01:27:41,372 --> 01:27:41,652 Speaker 16: Thank you? 1861 01:27:41,692 --> 01:27:44,692 Speaker 4: How are you good? Ken on your thoughts? 1862 01:27:45,652 --> 01:27:50,132 Speaker 21: Oh just it's kind of I guess slightly. I travel 1863 01:27:50,173 --> 01:27:52,732 Speaker 21: a lot for work, and when I had children with 1864 01:27:52,893 --> 01:27:55,852 Speaker 21: my now husband, it became important that I had the 1865 01:27:55,893 --> 01:28:00,293 Speaker 21: same surname as my children. Oh yeah, so that I've 1866 01:28:00,333 --> 01:28:03,653 Speaker 21: had friends have made the difficulties going through the US 1867 01:28:03,692 --> 01:28:06,532 Speaker 21: without their partner but traveling with the children right by 1868 01:28:06,572 --> 01:28:10,692 Speaker 21: not having the same surname. I mean, yeah, that was 1869 01:28:10,772 --> 01:28:12,172 Speaker 21: just one of the factors when. 1870 01:28:12,093 --> 01:28:14,132 Speaker 3: He wouldn't hit your husband wouldn't take your surname. 1871 01:28:16,013 --> 01:28:20,693 Speaker 21: Oh well, it's probably a hyphen. 1872 01:28:22,532 --> 01:28:25,492 Speaker 5: When we looked at hyphen but it just didn't work together. 1873 01:28:25,612 --> 01:28:28,133 Speaker 3: And I was all them happy to there are some 1874 01:28:28,253 --> 01:28:31,212 Speaker 3: hyphens that just don't work exactly. 1875 01:28:31,492 --> 01:28:33,852 Speaker 16: And look, I have a brother, so he can carry 1876 01:28:33,893 --> 01:28:36,732 Speaker 16: on that the family name that way? 1877 01:28:37,133 --> 01:28:40,213 Speaker 3: Did it mean when you changed your name? Did you 1878 01:28:40,253 --> 01:28:42,773 Speaker 3: know how did that feel? Was that something that you 1879 01:28:42,772 --> 01:28:44,253 Speaker 3: you mourned for one of a better. 1880 01:28:44,093 --> 01:28:49,173 Speaker 16: Word, well from words perspective, as she still work under 1881 01:28:49,173 --> 01:28:51,333 Speaker 16: my maiden names. Yeah, you know, I have my married 1882 01:28:51,412 --> 01:28:54,572 Speaker 16: name separate, so I kind of run off the two, 1883 01:28:55,732 --> 01:28:59,972 Speaker 16: which is almost a safeguarding thing, so that I work 1884 01:28:59,973 --> 01:29:03,133 Speaker 16: in the public that they can't look harder to find 1885 01:29:03,173 --> 01:29:04,652 Speaker 16: me on social media. 1886 01:29:04,732 --> 01:29:06,492 Speaker 13: Put it that way, there. 1887 01:29:06,452 --> 01:29:08,812 Speaker 3: Was there was something that I when I was a 1888 01:29:08,893 --> 01:29:12,132 Speaker 3: kid that shocked me. And my mum was quite a 1889 01:29:12,133 --> 01:29:15,612 Speaker 3: hardcore feminist in some regards, in other ways not. But 1890 01:29:16,853 --> 01:29:20,093 Speaker 3: she once got a letter and it said to miss 1891 01:29:20,133 --> 01:29:23,572 Speaker 3: missus Christopher John Heath and that used to be quite 1892 01:29:23,572 --> 01:29:25,572 Speaker 3: common back in the day that that was too far 1893 01:29:25,732 --> 01:29:28,973 Speaker 3: right when you got letters. That was the thing, though, 1894 01:29:29,053 --> 01:29:29,492 Speaker 3: wasn't it. 1895 01:29:30,612 --> 01:29:32,612 Speaker 21: My mum tells stories of trying to get a bank 1896 01:29:32,652 --> 01:29:35,412 Speaker 21: loan and had to have her a credit card or 1897 01:29:35,452 --> 01:29:38,013 Speaker 21: something along those lines, and my dad had to go 1898 01:29:38,093 --> 01:29:42,133 Speaker 21: in and she wasn't able to. You know, this is 1899 01:29:42,173 --> 01:29:46,372 Speaker 21: only Yeah, it's so true that long ago you mentioned 1900 01:29:46,452 --> 01:29:47,412 Speaker 21: that today, I mean. 1901 01:29:47,492 --> 01:29:50,293 Speaker 3: In my lifetime, it was okay to write a letter 1902 01:29:51,013 --> 01:29:55,172 Speaker 3: to a woman from the bank that said her husband's 1903 01:29:55,213 --> 01:29:58,093 Speaker 3: complete name, including middle name, but with missus in front 1904 01:29:58,093 --> 01:30:01,293 Speaker 3: of it. That's that's quite shocking, really, isn't it. 1905 01:30:02,372 --> 01:30:04,852 Speaker 16: And I think it's just how you view marriage. I mean, 1906 01:30:04,853 --> 01:30:07,652 Speaker 16: for us, it was just the kind of final part. 1907 01:30:07,732 --> 01:30:10,412 Speaker 21: I mean, we did everything backwards anyway. We had children, 1908 01:30:10,532 --> 01:30:13,892 Speaker 21: we bought a house, we did everything else. We were engaged, 1909 01:30:13,933 --> 01:30:15,933 Speaker 21: but we you know, and it just felt like the 1910 01:30:15,973 --> 01:30:20,372 Speaker 21: final piece of the puzzle for us. But I don't 1911 01:30:20,412 --> 01:30:25,293 Speaker 21: see it as an archaic, you know, ownership. I can 1912 01:30:25,333 --> 01:30:27,532 Speaker 21: assure you I hold my own in any acumen. 1913 01:30:27,933 --> 01:30:32,452 Speaker 5: We can tell that, you know, I don't have a 1914 01:30:32,652 --> 01:30:36,732 Speaker 5: permission or anything like that. So I think there are 1915 01:30:37,612 --> 01:30:43,333 Speaker 5: different I guess, religions or cultures that perhaps there is 1916 01:30:43,853 --> 01:30:47,412 Speaker 5: a slightly older view on marriage. But I think in 1917 01:30:47,532 --> 01:30:50,612 Speaker 5: a I guess, and I mean. 1918 01:30:50,452 --> 01:30:51,972 Speaker 21: I qualify as millennial. 1919 01:30:52,053 --> 01:30:55,293 Speaker 16: But I don't like referencing myself. 1920 01:30:55,333 --> 01:30:57,612 Speaker 21: I'd like to be in anything. 1921 01:30:57,293 --> 01:30:59,732 Speaker 4: But I'm in the same camp to see it. What's 1922 01:30:59,732 --> 01:31:01,132 Speaker 4: a dirty word these days? Millennial? 1923 01:31:02,173 --> 01:31:06,093 Speaker 21: Oh, I just I'm on the cuff to come. 1924 01:31:07,293 --> 01:31:08,812 Speaker 4: Yeah, I could choose. 1925 01:31:08,893 --> 01:31:10,053 Speaker 3: The water is lovely over here. 1926 01:31:12,173 --> 01:31:15,012 Speaker 21: I just think, you know, I've got lots of friends 1927 01:31:15,053 --> 01:31:18,452 Speaker 21: who aren't and we decide it's just kind of your 1928 01:31:18,452 --> 01:31:21,012 Speaker 21: own journey. I don't think that anyone who's not married 1929 01:31:21,133 --> 01:31:25,333 Speaker 21: or any differently, you know, it's a great excuse. 1930 01:31:24,973 --> 01:31:26,052 Speaker 19: To have a good party. 1931 01:31:27,173 --> 01:31:29,532 Speaker 3: There is something though, when you refer to someone as 1932 01:31:29,572 --> 01:31:32,772 Speaker 3: your husband or as your wife, that is quite a 1933 01:31:32,812 --> 01:31:35,293 Speaker 3: different thing than saying your partner, Do you know what 1934 01:31:35,372 --> 01:31:35,692 Speaker 3: I mean? 1935 01:31:37,053 --> 01:31:39,333 Speaker 21: Absolutely, that does feel a little bit. 1936 01:31:39,293 --> 01:31:39,892 Speaker 6: More grown up. 1937 01:31:39,933 --> 01:31:44,652 Speaker 21: I get as well. And again referencing, referencing the children, 1938 01:31:44,933 --> 01:31:48,173 Speaker 21: you know, like I just think that you know, mum 1939 01:31:48,213 --> 01:31:51,292 Speaker 21: and dad are married, that it just for them perhaps 1940 01:31:51,853 --> 01:31:55,333 Speaker 21: might feel more secure. I don't. I mean, I'm putting 1941 01:31:55,333 --> 01:31:56,532 Speaker 21: words into their mouths now. 1942 01:31:56,572 --> 01:31:57,013 Speaker 16: I don't know. 1943 01:31:58,253 --> 01:32:00,293 Speaker 2: It's some inters with the last name though, is until 1944 01:32:00,293 --> 01:32:02,452 Speaker 2: you mentioned it, and may Have wants to take my 1945 01:32:02,572 --> 01:32:05,812 Speaker 2: last name.

I don't, you know, I'm proud of my lineage. 1952 01:32:17,133 --> 01:32:19,092 Speaker 3: If her last name was something really cool like Christmas, 1953 01:32:19,093 --> 01:32:21,132 Speaker 3: would you take her last name Tyler Christmas? 1954 01:32:21,213 --> 01:32:24,853 Speaker 4: Yeah, none for Christmas. 1955 01:32:25,452 --> 01:32:29,452 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for you call no no, you finished. 1956 01:32:29,452 --> 01:32:30,973 Speaker 3: She had one more thought there, so I want to 1957 01:32:31,013 --> 01:32:31,333 Speaker 3: hear that. 1958 01:32:31,772 --> 01:32:34,293 Speaker 21: I was just going to say, it's like when you're 1959 01:32:34,333 --> 01:32:37,293 Speaker 21: naming children, you do have to sound out the name 1960 01:32:37,333 --> 01:32:41,012 Speaker 21: is going to be like the surname doesn't fit, don't 1961 01:32:41,093 --> 01:32:41,492 Speaker 21: take it? 1962 01:32:41,812 --> 01:32:43,093 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, good cool. 1963 01:32:43,572 --> 01:32:48,372 Speaker 3: It was like when Homer was like naming Bartney goes Art.

She used to 2033 01:35:55,652 --> 01:35:59,572 Speaker 22: drive the trucks for me, and you know she was 2034 01:35:59,572 --> 01:36:02,013 Speaker 22: bringing up five kids in total, she had four from 2035 01:36:02,013 --> 01:36:05,012 Speaker 22: her first marriage. I was just turned twenty two when 2036 01:36:05,053 --> 01:36:05,652 Speaker 22: I got married. 2037 01:36:06,492 --> 01:36:08,333 Speaker 10: Wow, I'm seventy. 2038 01:36:07,973 --> 01:36:11,572 Speaker 22: Two now, So big commitment for a young fellow that 2039 01:36:12,213 --> 01:36:13,132 Speaker 22: I knew what I wanted. 2040 01:36:14,053 --> 01:36:15,612 Speaker 3: What did you do?

Did you do something 2042 01:36:19,253 --> 01:36:20,973 Speaker 3: a little bit more than the register's office that you 2043 01:36:21,013 --> 01:36:27,013 Speaker 3: started off with? No, No, I didn't do anything. I'm 2044 01:36:27,053 --> 01:36:28,932 Speaker 3: loving the practicality of the situation. 2045 01:36:29,173 --> 01:36:30,572 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, well I'm Colin. 2046 01:36:30,732 --> 01:36:34,293 Speaker 3: So that sort of puts pay to my idea that 2047 01:36:34,333 --> 01:36:36,053 Speaker 3: one of the great things about marriage is you have 2048 01:36:36,093 --> 01:36:38,013 Speaker 3: a lot of people around, and that's why it may 2049 01:36:38,053 --> 01:36:39,732 Speaker 3: last a bit longer because you've told it in front 2050 01:36:39,772 --> 01:36:42,253 Speaker 3: of so many people. Yeah, because they just nipped off 2051 01:36:42,253 --> 01:36:43,532 Speaker 3: to registry office. 2052 01:36:43,612 --> 01:36:48,412 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean outlasting the old siblings. For Colin, 2053 01:36:48,452 --> 01:36:50,253 Speaker 4: I think was a big thing. He wasn't a quitter, 2054 01:36:50,372 --> 01:36:51,133 Speaker 4: let's put it that way. 2055 01:36:51,333 --> 01:36:54,573 Speaker 3: Sharon. Your thoughts on marriage and such. 2056 01:36:55,293 --> 01:36:57,052 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's changed. 2057 01:36:57,093 --> 01:36:57,772 Speaker 13: He isn't. 2058 01:36:57,772 --> 01:37:00,412 Speaker 6: Fact that it definitely has, you know. I mean when we 2059 01:37:00,452 --> 01:37:03,012 Speaker 6: got married, my husband we've been married forty seven years 2060 01:37:03,013 --> 01:37:05,893 Speaker 6: this year, and we've known each other for well a 2061 01:37:05,933 --> 01:37:07,213 Speaker 6: lot longer than that, because we're now. 2062 01:37:07,173 --> 01:37:08,052 Speaker 13: At high school together. 2063 01:37:08,093 --> 01:37:12,732 Speaker 6: But you know, things like we're going for our house loan, 2064 01:37:13,412 --> 01:37:16,053 Speaker 6: the bank wouldn't take into consideration my wages in case 2065 01:37:16,093 --> 01:37:18,372 Speaker 6: they got pregnant. Can you imagine that these days? 2066 01:37:18,412 --> 01:37:19,372 Speaker 3: Wow? Wow? 2067 01:37:20,412 --> 01:37:25,093 Speaker 6: Yeah, well I was. I was actually insulted that it was unbelievable, 2068 01:37:25,492 --> 01:37:33,933 Speaker 6: but I called no. But you know, I don't like 2069 01:37:34,053 --> 01:37:36,293 Speaker 6: personally being called my husband. I don't like being called 2070 01:37:36,293 --> 01:37:39,532 Speaker 6: a partner from his wife because people, you know, being 2071 01:37:39,572 --> 01:37:42,412 Speaker 6: over backwards about not offending somebody by calling them their wife, 2072 01:37:42,412 --> 01:37:44,333 Speaker 6: but they actually send me by calling me a partner. 2073 01:37:45,053 --> 01:37:47,133 Speaker 2: So because it's more than that, right when you yeah, 2074 01:37:47,213 --> 01:37:49,372 Speaker 2: when you're married, it's far more than just being a partner. 2075 01:37:49,893 --> 01:37:51,892 Speaker 6: Well I think so, you know, I mean, everybody to 2076 01:37:51,933 --> 01:37:53,892 Speaker 6: their own if they wanted to be a partner, that's 2077 01:37:53,893 --> 01:37:56,412 Speaker 6: fine and not get burried, that's up to them. But 2078 01:37:56,492 --> 01:37:57,492 Speaker 6: for me, it wasn't. 2079 01:37:57,572 --> 01:37:58,012 Speaker 13: It wasn't. 2080 01:37:58,173 --> 01:38:02,372 Speaker 6: It was the emotional uh, and the ceremony and all 2081 01:38:02,412 --> 01:38:05,452 Speaker 6: the tradition that went with it that made and unlitia 2082 01:38:05,572 --> 01:38:09,972 Speaker 6: then through that actual ceremony. But have hard to get 2083 01:38:10,053 --> 01:38:13,492 Speaker 6: to understand what it's like. Well, it is for me anyway, 2084 01:38:13,772 --> 01:38:16,053 Speaker 6: And I think, you know, everybody can do what they 2085 01:38:16,093 --> 01:38:19,613 Speaker 6: want to do, but that's my stance on being there. 2086 01:38:19,933 --> 01:38:22,492 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, wife or husband is obviously stronger than 2087 01:38:22,492 --> 01:38:25,013 Speaker 3: a partner, because it could be the business partners, these 2088 01:38:25,093 --> 01:38:27,412 Speaker 3: dance partners, there's all kind of partners. But my wife 2089 01:38:27,452 --> 01:38:30,492 Speaker 3: or husband is a very specific thing. So if you 2090 01:38:30,692 --> 01:38:33,333 Speaker 3: if you've gone through, you know, gone through, or if 2091 01:38:33,372 --> 01:38:37,012 Speaker 3: you've enjoyed the lovely experience of getting married and you've 2092 01:38:37,013 --> 01:38:39,812 Speaker 3: earned the right to call someone a wife or a husband, 2093 01:38:39,893 --> 01:38:42,852 Speaker 3: which is surely like it's a promotion in a way. 2094 01:38:42,973 --> 01:38:46,612 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and title also, and you know, back 2095 01:38:46,652 --> 01:38:49,692 Speaker 6: then also I never reason thought about having not having 2096 01:38:49,692 --> 01:38:52,732 Speaker 6: my husband's name. It wasn't something you really did, whereas 2097 01:38:52,772 --> 01:38:55,492 Speaker 6: now it's changed and you know, like saying things change 2098 01:38:55,532 --> 01:38:59,972 Speaker 6: and evolved and things like that. But no, I just yeah, 2099 01:39:00,372 --> 01:39:02,372 Speaker 6: like to say, everybody to their own if they want 2100 01:39:02,372 --> 01:39:06,293 Speaker 6: to be partner's fine, but it wasn't something I wanted 2101 01:39:06,293 --> 01:39:06,572 Speaker 6: to do. 2102 01:39:07,053 --> 01:39:10,852 Speaker 2: Good on, Sharon, thank you bring up nicely, said yeah, fantastic, right, 2103 01:39:10,973 --> 01:39:13,253 Speaker 2: great discussion.

Is the torture to get through 2261 01:48:13,572 --> 01:48:17,692 Speaker 7: to catch up with and spend time with guys that 2262 01:48:18,213 --> 01:48:20,692 Speaker 7: you really you know, you spend your whole life with 2263 01:48:20,772 --> 01:48:22,492 Speaker 7: people for about ten or fifteen years and then you 2264 01:48:22,572 --> 01:48:27,652 Speaker 7: don't see them, and you know it's hugely important. It's 2265 01:48:27,652 --> 01:48:31,452 Speaker 7: a buzzword, but connecting and connection back these days because 2266 01:48:32,133 --> 01:48:35,532 Speaker 7: you know, yeah, it's not a it's not a profession 2267 01:48:35,612 --> 01:48:38,213 Speaker 7: that you should be felt, No one should feel sorry 2268 01:48:38,253 --> 01:48:40,612 Speaker 7: for you to having that profession because it's dream job. However, 2269 01:48:41,372 --> 01:48:44,293 Speaker 7: when it leaves you, you know, I guess we're only human, 2270 01:48:44,492 --> 01:48:47,892 Speaker 7: and it does leave a massive void. So catching back 2271 01:48:47,973 --> 01:48:50,532 Speaker 7: up with everyone is just great in general, but then 2272 01:48:50,572 --> 01:48:54,692 Speaker 7: obviously making sure that everyone's doing all good because once 2273 01:48:54,812 --> 01:48:58,532 Speaker 7: the professional sport and the footy finishes, it's it can 2274 01:48:58,612 --> 01:49:01,692 Speaker 7: be a lonely world and everyone, I yes, transitions into 2275 01:49:01,732 --> 01:49:04,732 Speaker 7: it differently because as a safe if you're lucky enough 2276 01:49:04,772 --> 01:49:07,812 Speaker 7: to have a ten fifteen year career, then swinging back 2277 01:49:07,973 --> 01:49:11,652 Speaker 7: to the real world because getting told what to do 2278 01:49:11,812 --> 01:49:15,093 Speaker 7: for adulthoods for ten or fifteen years to be and 2279 01:49:15,173 --> 01:49:17,133 Speaker 7: where to be and what to wear and what time 2280 01:49:17,213 --> 01:49:19,812 Speaker 7: to be somewhere isn't the real world, and it does 2281 01:49:19,893 --> 01:49:21,732 Speaker 7: take a lot of adjusting, and some boys struggle, some 2282 01:49:21,812 --> 01:49:24,772 Speaker 7: boys land on their feet. But that's that's the part 2283 01:49:24,853 --> 01:49:27,532 Speaker 7: that I guess I enjoy about it and the reason 2284 01:49:27,532 --> 01:49:28,772 Speaker 7: why I always want to be a part of it. 2285 01:49:29,213 --> 01:49:31,812 Speaker 3: I imagine, having been an all Black, you get punished 2286 01:49:31,812 --> 01:49:34,372 Speaker 3: a lot in bars and wherever you go by people 2287 01:49:34,452 --> 01:49:38,612 Speaker 3: with their expert rugby opinions.
