Everybody wanted a 57 00:02:23,053 --> 00:02:25,533 Speaker 3: standing disk because we were told sitting is bad for 58 00:02:25,573 --> 00:02:27,093 Speaker 3: your house, so you've got to stand up for eight 59 00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:28,053 Speaker 3: hours during the day. 60 00:02:28,173 --> 00:02:30,853 Speaker 2: Turns out a load of rubbish. Yeah, so the health 61 00:02:30,893 --> 00:02:34,213 Speaker 2: benefits just didn't come. I've seen a lot of standing 62 00:02:34,653 --> 00:02:37,293 Speaker 2: desk people in my time, and I feel like they 63 00:02:37,333 --> 00:02:41,053 Speaker 2: become isolated from the rest of the office. It looks weird. 64 00:02:41,493 --> 00:02:45,333 Speaker 2: You become isolated, and I've seen them become increasingly miserable. 65 00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:49,653 Speaker 2: And then if they have one of those ones that's transformable, 66 00:02:50,013 --> 00:02:53,253 Speaker 2: that goes to standing them back again very quickly, it 67 00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:56,012 Speaker 2: ends up in the in the down position. 68 00:02:56,213 --> 00:02:56,453 Speaker 4: Yeah. 69 00:02:56,493 --> 00:02:57,852 Speaker 3: Do you think they have to There's a bit of 70 00:02:57,853 --> 00:03:00,333 Speaker 3: stubbornness there that once they asked the boss for a 71 00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:03,653 Speaker 3: standing disk, through how high water, they have to keep 72 00:03:03,693 --> 00:03:05,893 Speaker 3: standing no matter what, even if those legs are hurting, 73 00:03:06,213 --> 00:03:08,653 Speaker 3: you got to keep standing them. 74 00:03:08,653 --> 00:03:11,093 Speaker 2: In a year at least of standing but someone like 75 00:03:11,133 --> 00:03:14,133 Speaker 2: me that worked so much, so much hospo and retail 76 00:03:14,252 --> 00:03:16,252 Speaker 2: in my life. When I finally got to a desk, 77 00:03:16,333 --> 00:03:19,292 Speaker 2: there was no way I was standing it again, standing 78 00:03:19,653 --> 00:03:25,213 Speaker 2: behind a counter or standing behind a bar as that's 79 00:03:25,252 --> 00:03:27,853 Speaker 2: the bit that really gets you. You just desperately want 80 00:03:27,893 --> 00:03:28,333 Speaker 2: to sit down. 81 00:03:28,493 --> 00:03:30,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's after three point thirty, after three o'clock. 82 00:03:31,653 --> 00:03:35,413 Speaker 2: Yes, so we also might be looking a little bit 83 00:03:35,453 --> 00:03:38,053 Speaker 2: having a little bit of a sniff around dogs. And 84 00:03:38,413 --> 00:03:41,013 Speaker 2: that sounds wrong. I didn't get enough sleep last night. 85 00:03:41,013 --> 00:03:42,173 Speaker 2: I'm too tired. 86 00:03:42,453 --> 00:03:42,573 Speaker 7: Now. 87 00:03:43,493 --> 00:03:46,893 Speaker 2: A new studies found that we love our dogs as 88 00:03:46,973 --> 00:03:49,173 Speaker 2: much as we love our children, or the parts of 89 00:03:49,213 --> 00:03:51,973 Speaker 2: the brain where we show love for our children fire 90 00:03:52,053 --> 00:03:54,453 Speaker 2: up the same way for dogs. So is that true? 91 00:03:54,493 --> 00:03:56,053 Speaker 2: Do you love your dog as much as you love 92 00:03:56,093 --> 00:03:57,693 Speaker 2: your kids? What would you do for your dog? I 93 00:03:57,733 --> 00:04:00,293 Speaker 2: would do a lot for my dog. I think I 94 00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:02,893 Speaker 2: put my my It's almost like I've got three kids. 95 00:04:03,053 --> 00:04:05,853 Speaker 2: Bad dog. Yeah, my dog is always with my kids. 96 00:04:06,013 --> 00:04:13,093 Speaker 2: They operate together, ass and I boy, I have a 97 00:04:13,173 --> 00:04:15,973 Speaker 2: ridiculous amount of love with my dog. My dog is 98 00:04:16,053 --> 00:04:18,173 Speaker 2: just my dog, Colin. He's just the best of us. 99 00:04:18,253 --> 00:04:18,893 Speaker 2: He's a good boy. 100 00:04:19,013 --> 00:04:19,693 Speaker 3: He's a good boy. 101 00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:21,733 Speaker 2: Who's a good boy. If you're listening, Colin, I leave 102 00:04:21,733 --> 00:04:24,013 Speaker 2: the radio on from You're a good boy, Colin, you're 103 00:04:24,053 --> 00:04:24,533 Speaker 2: a good boy. 104 00:04:24,573 --> 00:04:26,693 Speaker 3: I can see his little tail weight right now. But 105 00:04:26,733 --> 00:04:29,133 Speaker 3: that's the chat after three o'clock. After two o'clock, a 106 00:04:29,213 --> 00:04:33,413 Speaker 3: good advice Colin. In the Herald today, a person who 107 00:04:33,413 --> 00:04:36,813 Speaker 3: goes unnamed, as they often are in these columns, is 108 00:04:37,053 --> 00:04:39,333 Speaker 3: in a bit of strife in terms of lending money 109 00:04:39,333 --> 00:04:42,493 Speaker 3: to his friend who's in a bad situation. But the 110 00:04:42,573 --> 00:04:44,373 Speaker 3: question we're going to put to you after two o'clock 111 00:04:44,693 --> 00:04:48,053 Speaker 3: is it ever wise to lend a friend money, particularly 112 00:04:48,053 --> 00:04:50,853 Speaker 3: if you think it might not be getting paid back. 113 00:04:51,693 --> 00:04:55,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a tough one. I have lent 114 00:04:55,213 --> 00:04:57,653 Speaker 2: friends money in the past, and have recently lent a 115 00:04:57,693 --> 00:05:00,213 Speaker 2: friends of money. I think if you can help, you should, 116 00:05:00,653 --> 00:05:02,893 Speaker 2: But lending money to someone when it's not helping them, 117 00:05:02,973 --> 00:05:05,333 Speaker 2: say they've got a terrible addiction or something, you can 118 00:05:05,373 --> 00:05:07,253 Speaker 2: see the money making their life worse than that's not 119 00:05:07,293 --> 00:05:09,373 Speaker 2: good and or see, you've got to be a If 120 00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:12,973 Speaker 2: you lend the money you can't, then you've got I 121 00:05:12,973 --> 00:05:14,813 Speaker 2: guess you've got to accept that it might not come back, 122 00:05:14,853 --> 00:05:17,893 Speaker 2: because because the resentment of lending someone money and they 123 00:05:17,933 --> 00:05:20,173 Speaker 2: don't pay it back can rap a friendship apart. 124 00:05:20,333 --> 00:05:21,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you never want to ask for it. Right 125 00:05:22,013 --> 00:05:24,573 Speaker 3: If you lend someone a friend money, you don't want 126 00:05:24,613 --> 00:05:26,133 Speaker 3: to be the one coming to them and saying, hey 127 00:05:26,213 --> 00:05:28,253 Speaker 3: about that money. I lench you when you're going to 128 00:05:28,253 --> 00:05:28,693 Speaker 3: pay it back? 129 00:05:29,093 --> 00:05:34,493 Speaker 2: That's awful. Yeah, that's right. So I don't know. Maybe 130 00:05:34,573 --> 00:05:37,093 Speaker 2: giving money is a better option than lending money. 131 00:05:37,573 --> 00:05:40,213 Speaker 3: That nicely said. That's after two o'clock because right now. 132 00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:43,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, recruiters in Australia have spoken out about gen Z 133 00:05:43,293 --> 00:05:48,813 Speaker 2: grads demanding too much of their employers. Look, when you 134 00:05:48,813 --> 00:05:52,013 Speaker 2: start a job, this is my opinion on it, right, 135 00:05:52,013 --> 00:05:53,693 Speaker 2: and people won't disagree with this, but I think the 136 00:05:53,693 --> 00:05:55,413 Speaker 2: best approach when you start a new job isn't to 137 00:05:55,413 --> 00:05:58,493 Speaker 2: make demands, but to work really hard, prove your worth, 138 00:05:58,573 --> 00:06:01,733 Speaker 2: move up and then make the changes in demands when 139 00:06:01,773 --> 00:06:04,093 Speaker 2: you know the business and you've proven that you're valuable 140 00:06:04,093 --> 00:06:06,533 Speaker 2: to the business. You don't help yourself by being a 141 00:06:06,573 --> 00:06:10,413 Speaker 2: problem and not a solution. It sounds like corporate speak, 142 00:06:10,533 --> 00:06:12,893 Speaker 2: but you know, I'd like to hear from employers and managers. 143 00:06:12,933 --> 00:06:14,933 Speaker 2: What do you honestly think of employers who come on 144 00:06:15,013 --> 00:06:19,093 Speaker 2: board and make demands and those that even make demands 145 00:06:19,093 --> 00:06:23,213 Speaker 2: and interviews as this study is talking about gen zs 146 00:06:23,253 --> 00:06:25,373 Speaker 2: and new employers in general. If you start a new job, 147 00:06:25,413 --> 00:06:27,053 Speaker 2: how do you think it's going to play out for you? 148 00:06:27,173 --> 00:06:29,053 Speaker 2: If you make these demands? What do you think is 149 00:06:29,093 --> 00:06:31,653 Speaker 2: going to happen if you come into a workplace, demand 150 00:06:31,733 --> 00:06:34,453 Speaker 2: to work from home, demand to change things up. It 151 00:06:34,493 --> 00:06:36,093 Speaker 2: seems to me if you give more than you take 152 00:06:36,173 --> 00:06:38,493 Speaker 2: from a company, you are much more likely to be 153 00:06:38,533 --> 00:06:41,853 Speaker 2: rewarded with proportion and opportunity. And if you're demanding and 154 00:06:41,893 --> 00:06:45,693 Speaker 2: difficult and take more than you give, then that becomes 155 00:06:46,173 --> 00:06:48,373 Speaker 2: less likely. So I guess you've got to ask yourself 156 00:06:48,373 --> 00:06:49,973 Speaker 2: what you want out of the job. If you're just 157 00:06:50,053 --> 00:06:52,253 Speaker 2: trying to be there for a year and get paid 158 00:06:52,813 --> 00:06:55,373 Speaker 2: and then maybe make a whole lot of demands and 159 00:06:54,853 --> 00:06:57,373 Speaker 2: then move on, if that might be your strategy, But 160 00:06:57,413 --> 00:07:00,013 Speaker 2: if you actually want to go somewhere and move up, 161 00:07:00,373 --> 00:07:03,733 Speaker 2: then I would say working hard and not making dimnity 162 00:07:03,773 --> 00:07:04,733 Speaker 2: demands is the way to go. 163 00:07:04,853 --> 00:07:07,573 Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree. When you're studying off in your career, 164 00:07:07,613 --> 00:07:09,773 Speaker 3: you want to be a proper solver as much as possible. 165 00:07:09,853 --> 00:07:12,813 Speaker 3: You make those above you the life their life as 166 00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,013 Speaker 3: easy as possible. They'd say, you get ahead. 167 00:07:15,653 --> 00:07:19,053 Speaker 2: That's an old school approach, but in my experience, employers 168 00:07:19,053 --> 00:07:22,373 Speaker 2: and managers often get really excited by hard workers. Yeah, 169 00:07:22,453 --> 00:07:24,573 Speaker 2: I could be wrong. I would love to hear from 170 00:07:24,853 --> 00:07:28,613 Speaker 2: both sides on this, employers, employers and employees. What are 171 00:07:28,653 --> 00:07:32,573 Speaker 2: you looking for an easy ride or a path to success? 172 00:07:32,813 --> 00:07:33,253 Speaker 4: Yeah? 173 00:07:33,293 --> 00:07:35,893 Speaker 2: And I mean there was definitely managers out there and 174 00:07:35,893 --> 00:07:39,653 Speaker 2: employers that aren't helping people and aren't looking for people 175 00:07:39,693 --> 00:07:42,773 Speaker 2: to move up. There's ones that scratch back. But you're 176 00:07:42,773 --> 00:07:44,933 Speaker 2: definitely not going to move up and make your position 177 00:07:45,013 --> 00:07:49,493 Speaker 2: better if you're difficult and demanding that. I think that 178 00:07:49,493 --> 00:07:52,013 Speaker 2: that then goes is off the table for you. You're 179 00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:54,693 Speaker 2: just in the place you're in for it until they 180 00:07:54,893 --> 00:07:55,973 Speaker 2: replace you with someone else. 181 00:07:56,493 --> 00:07:58,973 Speaker 3: I think post COVID, we made a mistake about the 182 00:07:58,973 --> 00:08:02,133 Speaker 3: old working from home flexibility. That was all fine when 183 00:08:02,173 --> 00:08:04,373 Speaker 3: we head to them. We couldn't actually go into the workplace. 184 00:08:04,413 --> 00:08:06,413 Speaker 3: But this idea of the four day where you can 185 00:08:06,453 --> 00:08:09,733 Speaker 3: perpetual guardian and that promote and it's a brave new world. 186 00:08:10,053 --> 00:08:12,413 Speaker 3: I mean, that was all exciting and it sounded good, 187 00:08:12,653 --> 00:08:15,493 Speaker 3: but now We're three years down the track and it's 188 00:08:15,533 --> 00:08:19,053 Speaker 3: not working. And I think new employers employees rather are 189 00:08:19,053 --> 00:08:21,533 Speaker 3: coming to the workforce and say, well, why can't we 190 00:08:21,573 --> 00:08:21,813 Speaker 3: have that? 191 00:08:21,973 --> 00:08:24,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of the demand's most common demands 192 00:08:24,173 --> 00:08:27,173 Speaker 2: that's talked about in the study of flexibility about working 193 00:08:27,733 --> 00:08:30,613 Speaker 2: and look, that would be great, but there's something you've 194 00:08:30,613 --> 00:08:32,253 Speaker 2: got to realize of that if you don't make a 195 00:08:32,253 --> 00:08:35,012 Speaker 2: personal relationship with your working the people you work with, 196 00:08:35,333 --> 00:08:38,413 Speaker 2: then you are way less likely to be promoted and 197 00:08:38,533 --> 00:08:40,852 Speaker 2: you are the first person to go if that, If 198 00:08:40,892 --> 00:08:43,173 Speaker 2: that's an opportunity, and as I've said on the show before, 199 00:08:43,213 --> 00:08:48,293 Speaker 2: if you can outsource yourself to Rickoton, then just being 200 00:08:48,333 --> 00:08:51,293 Speaker 2: topical or any given suburb other than going to the office, 201 00:08:51,293 --> 00:08:53,013 Speaker 2: then they can outsource you to Mumbai. 202 00:08:53,093 --> 00:08:55,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, nice, he said.

So, 259 00:11:43,533 --> 00:11:45,653 Speaker 2: if you say, look, I would like to work four 260 00:11:45,732 --> 00:11:49,453 Speaker 2: days a week instead of five in the office four 261 00:11:49,492 --> 00:11:51,693 Speaker 2: days a week instead of five, I'd like this and 262 00:11:51,892 --> 00:11:54,133 Speaker 2: this and that, that doesn't seem like a wise strategy 263 00:11:54,132 --> 00:11:54,333 Speaker 2: to me. 264 00:11:55,293 --> 00:11:57,933 Speaker 8: No, I totally agree with you there. I think, you know, 265 00:11:57,933 --> 00:12:00,493 Speaker 8: if you're if you're a fresh out of UNI grad, 266 00:12:00,693 --> 00:12:03,693 Speaker 8: you know, looking for a looking for a foot in 267 00:12:03,732 --> 00:12:06,973 Speaker 8: the door, the obligation is on you to sort of, 268 00:12:08,173 --> 00:12:10,573 Speaker 8: like you say, goes market yourself and sort of, you know, 269 00:12:10,732 --> 00:12:14,413 Speaker 8: prove your worth before you can really do the you know, 270 00:12:14,453 --> 00:12:17,213 Speaker 8: before you can really do any bargaining around what you want. 271 00:12:17,492 --> 00:12:20,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, how did that change though? Because when I was 272 00:12:20,453 --> 00:12:22,852 Speaker 2: first looking for jobs, and my first jobs, I went 273 00:12:22,892 --> 00:12:25,653 Speaker 2: for pretty lowly for you know, working in record stores 274 00:12:25,653 --> 00:12:29,372 Speaker 2: and bars and such. But I would never have thought 275 00:12:29,453 --> 00:12:31,813 Speaker 2: that a job interview would be an opportunity for me 276 00:12:31,933 --> 00:12:34,173 Speaker 2: to make a better deal for myself. I always thought 277 00:12:34,173 --> 00:12:36,773 Speaker 2: that a job interview was even to the point of 278 00:12:36,813 --> 00:12:39,852 Speaker 2: stretching the truth, making it appear that I was the 279 00:12:39,892 --> 00:12:43,093 Speaker 2: best possible candidate that was going to make things easier 280 00:12:43,213 --> 00:12:45,412 Speaker 2: for the employee. 281 00:12:46,492 --> 00:12:48,733 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I agree. And I think if you are, 282 00:12:49,693 --> 00:12:51,453 Speaker 8: if you are sort of new to the job market, 283 00:12:51,492 --> 00:12:54,053 Speaker 8: you are sort of you know, more like those gen 284 00:12:54,132 --> 00:12:57,252 Speaker 8: Z kids that were talking about. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Man, 285 00:12:57,372 --> 00:13:02,933 Speaker 8: your your your responsibility is to just you know, sell 286 00:13:02,973 --> 00:13:05,853 Speaker 8: yourself to the best of your ability and get yourself 287 00:13:05,973 --> 00:13:07,693 Speaker 8: a foot in the door so that you can start 288 00:13:07,693 --> 00:13:10,293 Speaker 8: providing you and show that you're a hard worker and 289 00:13:10,413 --> 00:13:12,333 Speaker 8: you know, start beginning to grow your career and your 290 00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:12,813 Speaker 8: skill set. 291 00:13:13,612 --> 00:13:17,693 Speaker 3: You'd think there's a fine line, though, just I'm starting 292 00:13:17,732 --> 00:13:20,973 Speaker 3: to sort of lean towards I can understand where some 293 00:13:21,053 --> 00:13:23,653 Speaker 3: gen Z workers are coming from, as in they've been 294 00:13:23,693 --> 00:13:26,973 Speaker 3: a couple of years in the job and they think 295 00:13:27,012 --> 00:13:30,053 Speaker 3: they know their worth, but they feel that they're getting 296 00:13:30,053 --> 00:13:32,213 Speaker 3: taken advantage off. So it's a fine line, isn't it, 297 00:13:32,252 --> 00:13:34,933 Speaker 3: between backing yourself and knowing what skills you bring to 298 00:13:34,973 --> 00:13:39,213 Speaker 3: the table versus not being taken advantage of by an employer. 299 00:13:39,252 --> 00:13:41,093 Speaker 3: Because let's be real here, and employer is not going 300 00:13:41,173 --> 00:13:42,292 Speaker 3: to pay more than they have to. 301 00:13:43,852 --> 00:13:46,253 Speaker 8: No, I totally agree. But I think once you have 302 00:13:46,413 --> 00:13:51,573 Speaker 8: sort of demonstrated you know that you're valuable, that's then 303 00:13:51,653 --> 00:13:54,053 Speaker 8: reflected in the job market for you, like you start 304 00:13:54,093 --> 00:13:56,093 Speaker 8: to get more job offers, and you start to get 305 00:13:56,173 --> 00:13:59,012 Speaker 8: those sort of more higher paid, more flexible positions offered 306 00:13:59,053 --> 00:14:02,172 Speaker 8: to you. So it's at that point then you need 307 00:14:02,213 --> 00:14:04,693 Speaker 8: to start sort of understanding your worth and saying, Okay, well, 308 00:14:05,252 --> 00:14:08,093 Speaker 8: now it might not be worth me working remotely or relocating. 309 00:14:08,453 --> 00:14:10,252 Speaker 8: You're sort of taking this role of that role unless 310 00:14:10,252 --> 00:14:12,733 Speaker 8: I'm sort of getting what's worked while to me and 311 00:14:12,732 --> 00:14:13,173 Speaker 8: my family. 312 00:14:13,173 --> 00:14:15,533 Speaker 2: You know, it's interest for me because I've employed people 313 00:14:15,773 --> 00:14:19,573 Speaker 2: in the past, and I've always known exactly how much 314 00:14:19,613 --> 00:14:22,133 Speaker 2: I've got to pay them and exactly what I need 315 00:14:22,133 --> 00:14:25,173 Speaker 2: to do, So there hasn't really ever been a negotiation. 316 00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:27,613 Speaker 2: I go and honestly with the amount that I can 317 00:14:27,613 --> 00:14:30,973 Speaker 2: afford to pay them and exactly where I need them 318 00:14:31,013 --> 00:14:34,093 Speaker 2: to be and what they are. So when I've employed 319 00:14:34,093 --> 00:14:35,853 Speaker 2: people and they've gone I need this and this, I've 320 00:14:35,893 --> 00:14:39,213 Speaker 2: always thought, well, I haven't got that. I've got this, 321 00:14:39,653 --> 00:14:41,253 Speaker 2: so you can ask for more money, but I don't 322 00:14:41,293 --> 00:14:43,093 Speaker 2: have that money. I've got this amount of money and 323 00:14:43,093 --> 00:14:45,453 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to mess you around. And I'd like 324 00:14:45,453 --> 00:14:48,373 Speaker 2: to hear from other employees in this situation. Employee is 325 00:14:48,413 --> 00:14:51,533 Speaker 2: in this situation? I mean, do you go in and 326 00:14:51,653 --> 00:14:54,213 Speaker 2: tell them what the what you're going to pay them 327 00:14:54,293 --> 00:14:56,893 Speaker 2: and that's the real figure, or are you opening a 328 00:14:56,933 --> 00:15:00,293 Speaker 2: negotiation with them around the terms of employment and how 329 00:15:00,373 --> 00:15:01,133 Speaker 2: much you're going to pay? 330 00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:03,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, when thank you very much for your phone call. 331 00:15:03,173 --> 00:15:05,333 Speaker 3: That's an interesting one, isn't it. And credit to you, 332 00:15:05,413 --> 00:15:08,693 Speaker 3: because I think that's a honest way to play things 333 00:15:08,733 --> 00:15:10,933 Speaker 3: that you say, Hey, generally, this is the money that 334 00:15:10,973 --> 00:15:12,573 Speaker 3: I can pay you. This is the money I've got. 335 00:15:12,573 --> 00:15:14,373 Speaker 3: This is what I think the role is worth and 336 00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:16,453 Speaker 3: what you're worth. And I'm trying to be fair here, 337 00:15:16,493 --> 00:15:18,053 Speaker 3: but I don't know if that works in the real world. 338 00:15:18,133 --> 00:15:19,253 Speaker 2: This is what I need you to do. 339 00:15:19,933 --> 00:15:20,093 Speaker 9: Well. 340 00:15:20,173 --> 00:15:21,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's slightly different for me because I've 341 00:15:21,933 --> 00:15:25,093 Speaker 2: always employed people on contracts to do a particular job. 342 00:15:25,213 --> 00:15:28,013 Speaker 2: So this is the job, this is the money, and 343 00:15:28,333 --> 00:15:30,813 Speaker 2: if you try and negotiate more, I'm afraid that isn't 344 00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:35,173 Speaker 2: a thing. Yeah, that's not a thing.

Given an apology is easier 363 00:16:17,653 --> 00:16:20,293 Speaker 10: to deliver.

I 380 00:16:58,573 --> 00:17:00,973 Speaker 7: don't think he would ever do that, but he has 381 00:17:01,013 --> 00:17:03,773 Speaker 7: his own business anyway, So but here's work for other people. 382 00:17:04,493 --> 00:17:07,253 Speaker 7: But I don't think he'd even dream of it. 383 00:17:07,293 --> 00:17:08,453 Speaker 13: I mean, it's. 384 00:17:09,813 --> 00:17:13,453 Speaker 7: Well, I wouldn't employ anybody that's got a bit too demanding. 385 00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:15,173 Speaker 14: Put it that way. 386 00:17:15,613 --> 00:17:18,293 Speaker 2: It seems crazy to me that people are super demanding 387 00:17:18,573 --> 00:17:21,653 Speaker 2: in their job interview because but maybe when I was 388 00:17:21,653 --> 00:17:23,812 Speaker 2: going for jobs back in the day, I was so 389 00:17:23,973 --> 00:17:26,533 Speaker 2: desperate for them that I was just grateful to have 390 00:17:26,573 --> 00:17:29,773 Speaker 2: the job interview and even more grateful when I get 391 00:17:29,813 --> 00:17:33,493 Speaker 2: the job. So is it that gen Z or doesn't 392 00:17:33,493 --> 00:17:35,653 Speaker 2: sound like your sons this way, but some gen Z 393 00:17:35,773 --> 00:17:38,013 Speaker 2: people expect to get the job. 394 00:17:39,373 --> 00:17:41,533 Speaker 7: It could be It all could be down to confidence, 395 00:17:41,573 --> 00:17:44,093 Speaker 7: as well in yourself and your ability to do the 396 00:17:44,213 --> 00:17:47,213 Speaker 7: job or you know, what you think you're capable of doing. 397 00:17:47,253 --> 00:17:49,733 Speaker 7: I suppose that would come down to it. But I 398 00:17:49,773 --> 00:17:53,053 Speaker 7: think if they're going to be overly demanding, a lot 399 00:17:53,053 --> 00:17:55,973 Speaker 7: of people wouldn't particularly like that. I mean, there's one 400 00:17:56,013 --> 00:17:59,733 Speaker 7: thing having confidence, but another being overstepping the line and 401 00:18:00,013 --> 00:18:02,373 Speaker 7: being a little bit too in your face. And I 402 00:18:02,413 --> 00:18:05,253 Speaker 7: don't think employees employers would particularly like that. 403 00:18:06,533 --> 00:18:08,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, And it becomes a different thing when you're when 404 00:18:08,653 --> 00:18:12,173 Speaker 2: you've proven yourself and you're and you're in a market 405 00:18:12,293 --> 00:18:14,853 Speaker 2: where there isn't a lot of you know, when the 406 00:18:14,893 --> 00:18:18,133 Speaker 2: market leans on the side of the employee and you're 407 00:18:18,133 --> 00:18:21,733 Speaker 2: desperate to full a spot and you have the qualification, 408 00:18:21,893 --> 00:18:27,013 Speaker 2: then you'd be silly not to demand what you deserve. 409 00:18:27,893 --> 00:18:29,933 Speaker 2: But yeah, so I guess there's there's two different things. 410 00:18:30,093 --> 00:18:31,453 Speaker 2: I mean, it does seem a little bit weird because 411 00:18:31,453 --> 00:18:32,773 Speaker 2: we are gain a lot of textro people saying that 412 00:18:32,813 --> 00:18:36,773 Speaker 2: gen Z are useless and lazy, But I mean that's 413 00:18:36,973 --> 00:18:39,893 Speaker 2: not not true. I'm sure there's all of all of them. 414 00:18:40,173 --> 00:18:43,293 Speaker 2: I mean, you say, your son, he sounds like he's 415 00:18:43,653 --> 00:18:45,173 Speaker 2: working as hard as anyone has. 416 00:18:46,133 --> 00:18:48,973 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, he's an extremely hard worker. I mean, he 417 00:18:49,093 --> 00:18:52,253 Speaker 7: really is, and that's just theream his mother I'd probably 418 00:18:52,293 --> 00:18:55,853 Speaker 7: say that it's true, you know, I mean he really 419 00:18:55,893 --> 00:18:58,653 Speaker 7: does work hard and good service and a good deal, 420 00:18:58,693 --> 00:19:01,693 Speaker 7: and it's very particular about his job and what he does. 421 00:19:02,853 --> 00:19:05,373 Speaker 7: And luckily with word of mouth and everything else, he's 422 00:19:05,413 --> 00:19:07,573 Speaker 7: got work through that. So that's always a good thing, 423 00:19:07,653 --> 00:19:10,893 Speaker 7: isn't It doesn't have to advertise that much. So obviously 424 00:19:10,933 --> 00:19:14,093 Speaker 7: his work ethic has been instilled in him already seen 425 00:19:14,093 --> 00:19:16,493 Speaker 7: the example for well, I would hope from his parents 426 00:19:16,773 --> 00:19:19,893 Speaker 7: and his family. But you know, if you're going to 427 00:19:19,933 --> 00:19:22,013 Speaker 7: be too much in your face, then you're just going 428 00:19:22,053 --> 00:19:24,453 Speaker 7: to be obnoxious and nobody wants to employ you. 429 00:19:24,573 --> 00:19:27,053 Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you think it was a mistake, Sharon, The 430 00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:30,533 Speaker 3: you know, renewed trend and focus on four day work 431 00:19:30,573 --> 00:19:33,533 Speaker 3: weeks and working from home, that there was a real 432 00:19:33,653 --> 00:19:36,253 Speaker 3: risk there over the last couple of years post COVID, 433 00:19:36,293 --> 00:19:39,173 Speaker 3: that young employees are looking at all those trends and 434 00:19:39,213 --> 00:19:41,253 Speaker 3: saying I want that, I want that as soon as 435 00:19:41,293 --> 00:19:42,173 Speaker 3: I into the workforce. 436 00:19:43,573 --> 00:19:47,573 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I mean maybe it's old fashioned thinking these days, 437 00:19:47,573 --> 00:19:49,853 Speaker 7: but you know, you had to head down in your 438 00:19:49,853 --> 00:19:52,933 Speaker 7: backside up and get on with it. I mean you 439 00:19:52,933 --> 00:19:54,693 Speaker 7: you know, you're not going to get terribly far if 440 00:19:54,733 --> 00:19:56,653 Speaker 7: you're going to only work four days a week now 441 00:19:57,293 --> 00:19:59,333 Speaker 7: ten till two or something like some of them, I 442 00:19:59,333 --> 00:20:01,453 Speaker 7: think expect to be able to win in the one 443 00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:04,893 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty thousand dollars example of a salary. I mean, 444 00:20:05,293 --> 00:20:08,093 Speaker 7: just the life does not work like that usually. 445 00:20:08,573 --> 00:20:12,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of think your twenties, you know, your 446 00:20:12,293 --> 00:20:15,613 Speaker 2: late teens where whenever you get into the workforce, are 447 00:20:15,653 --> 00:20:18,453 Speaker 2: the time where you have the most energy and you 448 00:20:18,533 --> 00:20:21,333 Speaker 2: work the hardest to set yourself up in life. That's 449 00:20:21,693 --> 00:20:23,373 Speaker 2: the bit where you go, I'm going to be in 450 00:20:23,533 --> 00:20:25,253 Speaker 2: five days a week, I'm going to show you that 451 00:20:25,613 --> 00:20:27,853 Speaker 2: I'm incredible, and I'm going to try and move up. 452 00:20:28,173 --> 00:20:30,293 Speaker 2: Because if you don't do that in your twenties, it 453 00:20:30,293 --> 00:20:32,613 Speaker 2: gets harder and harder to prove yourself in your thirties 454 00:20:32,693 --> 00:20:36,453 Speaker 2: and forties, you know, and if you're getting into your 455 00:20:36,533 --> 00:20:40,613 Speaker 2: fifties and your and you haven't had a period of 456 00:20:40,733 --> 00:20:43,413 Speaker 2: proving yourself and haven't had a pre period of success, 457 00:20:43,973 --> 00:20:45,253 Speaker 2: life gets pretty difficult. 458 00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:48,973 Speaker 7: Yeah, you have to learn that lesson and create the 459 00:20:49,013 --> 00:20:50,333 Speaker 7: habit of being at work. 460 00:20:50,933 --> 00:20:53,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, Sharon, thank you so much. I mean, just to 461 00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:55,653 Speaker 3: that point you bang on. The older you get, the 462 00:20:55,653 --> 00:20:57,893 Speaker 3: more harder it is to make mistakes, right, Because when 463 00:20:57,893 --> 00:21:00,573 Speaker 3: I was a young worker, I made heaps of mistakes. 464 00:21:00,573 --> 00:21:02,453 Speaker 3: But because I was young and you, I got a 465 00:21:02,493 --> 00:21:04,653 Speaker 3: lot of leeway to say, oh, yeah, Tyler's just a 466 00:21:04,733 --> 00:21:07,733 Speaker 3: new comer. You'll get it Tyler eventually. But now if 467 00:21:07,733 --> 00:21:09,373 Speaker 3: I make mistakes, it's not the same way. 468 00:21:09,613 --> 00:21:11,613 Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe I just didn't have a sense of self 469 00:21:11,613 --> 00:21:14,893 Speaker 2: worth when I was applying for jobs when I was younger. 470 00:21:15,053 --> 00:21:17,533 Speaker 2: I got a stupid degree, but I was I was working, 471 00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:19,253 Speaker 2: or I had my degree as well, but I was 472 00:21:19,293 --> 00:21:22,333 Speaker 2: just surprised that anyone would employ me. And when I 473 00:21:22,373 --> 00:21:25,333 Speaker 2: got into any job, and we're talking minimum wage jobs, 474 00:21:25,373 --> 00:21:29,253 Speaker 2: when I first started out, I was just incredibly pleased 475 00:21:29,293 --> 00:21:32,493 Speaker 2: I had the job and grateful. I remember when I 476 00:21:32,493 --> 00:21:34,973 Speaker 2: first there's a saying and this is this is a 477 00:21:35,013 --> 00:21:38,133 Speaker 2: saying from from Hollywood, but it's but it sort of 478 00:21:38,133 --> 00:21:41,173 Speaker 2: applies to everything. I was thinking that Judd Apatoe said it. 479 00:21:42,333 --> 00:21:44,653 Speaker 2: You know that the comedy writer, he's done a bunch 480 00:21:44,653 --> 00:21:48,253 Speaker 2: of movies Knocked Up, in Starched and such. He said 481 00:21:48,373 --> 00:21:53,613 Speaker 2: that if you he goes being able to get the 482 00:21:53,893 --> 00:21:57,532 Speaker 2: coffee order right doesn't mean you're a good director. But 483 00:21:57,573 --> 00:21:59,573 Speaker 2: if you don't get the coffee order right when you start, 484 00:21:59,653 --> 00:22:01,253 Speaker 2: you'll never get the chance to be the director. 485 00:22:01,373 --> 00:22:03,453 Speaker 3: That's a nice lie. You're smart, man. 486 00:22:03,453 --> 00:22:06,413 Speaker 2: Because and I've worked in film and television quite a bit, 487 00:22:06,533 --> 00:22:09,853 Speaker 2: and there's a there's a direct prep path. You start 488 00:22:09,893 --> 00:22:12,933 Speaker 2: off as a production assistant, which is a runner, and 489 00:22:13,013 --> 00:22:15,813 Speaker 2: you drive around and you get people their food, and 490 00:22:15,893 --> 00:22:18,773 Speaker 2: you get people their coffees and you do everything. And 491 00:22:18,853 --> 00:22:21,493 Speaker 2: if you're one of those people like me that worked 492 00:22:21,533 --> 00:22:23,493 Speaker 2: really late, I mean I loved film and television, so 493 00:22:23,533 --> 00:22:24,853 Speaker 2: I was so grateful when I got in the air. 494 00:22:24,853 --> 00:22:28,093 Speaker 2: And I'd worked and record stores for a long time 495 00:22:28,133 --> 00:22:30,933 Speaker 2: before I got there, so it was an incredible it 496 00:22:30,773 --> 00:22:32,733 Speaker 2: was even though the money was worse. It felt like 497 00:22:32,773 --> 00:22:35,853 Speaker 2: a step up. But people are always looking around, and 498 00:22:35,893 --> 00:22:38,173 Speaker 2: in that business, the next thing is a production manager, 499 00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:40,733 Speaker 2: and they're always looking to fill the person that role, 500 00:22:40,933 --> 00:22:44,413 Speaker 2: which is slightly more responsibility, and then there's well there's 501 00:22:44,413 --> 00:22:47,213 Speaker 2: production coordinator, then production manager, and then there's a producer. 502 00:22:47,413 --> 00:22:50,053 Speaker 2: There's a path up. You don't move to the next 503 00:22:50,093 --> 00:22:52,493 Speaker 2: step if you are demanding it all You don't you 504 00:22:52,573 --> 00:22:55,213 Speaker 2: move to the next step if you hand your production 505 00:22:55,253 --> 00:22:57,573 Speaker 2: coordinator above you the correct coffee that they ordered. 506 00:22:57,693 --> 00:22:59,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think you've hit the nail on the 507 00:22:59,253 --> 00:23:01,453 Speaker 3: head that you were so thankful that someone gave you 508 00:23:01,453 --> 00:23:04,013 Speaker 3: a job. And I worry. And we've had a lot 509 00:23:04,253 --> 00:23:06,133 Speaker 3: a big go at gen Z yet, but I worry. 510 00:23:06,253 --> 00:23:08,173 Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be gen Z. People come into 511 00:23:08,173 --> 00:23:11,773 Speaker 3: the workforce now saying that you're lucky to have me, 512 00:23:12,133 --> 00:23:15,013 Speaker 3: rather than thank you so much for giving me an opportunity. 513 00:23:15,253 --> 00:23:18,133 Speaker 2: But who told them that that? That's what I don't understand. 514 00:23:18,973 --> 00:23:21,773 Speaker 2: Who told them that they were owed a job and 515 00:23:21,853 --> 00:23:27,413 Speaker 2: that a workplace owes you to change for you. I'd 516 00:23:27,453 --> 00:23:30,733 Speaker 2: never heard that, But maybe I hadn't been maybe I 517 00:23:30,733 --> 00:23:33,693 Speaker 2: hadn't been brought up. I think when I was younger, 518 00:23:33,773 --> 00:23:37,213 Speaker 2: first going to jobs, I had a massive lack of confidence. Yeah, 519 00:23:37,533 --> 00:23:41,533 Speaker 2: and maybe and maybe that worked out for me because 520 00:23:41,933 --> 00:23:44,493 Speaker 2: I had to prove myself really hard because I didn't 521 00:23:44,493 --> 00:23:46,653 Speaker 2: think I deserve to be there, which doesn't sound like 522 00:23:46,693 --> 00:23:49,293 Speaker 2: a healthy attitude to have, But but it worked for me. 523 00:23:49,533 --> 00:23:52,213 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

It's some writing by the Roman, 591 00:27:21,573 --> 00:27:24,933 Speaker 2: ancient Roman businessman Seneca, and he was talking about the 592 00:27:24,973 --> 00:27:27,453 Speaker 2: young generation and how people were complaining about them being 593 00:27:27,453 --> 00:27:29,613 Speaker 2: too slack and not having the right morals. You say, 594 00:27:29,653 --> 00:27:33,653 Speaker 2: you're a millennial, but now you're pushing forty on gen X. 595 00:27:34,173 --> 00:27:36,133 Speaker 2: But when I was gen X, as I was saying before, 596 00:27:36,173 --> 00:27:38,533 Speaker 2: people were calling us the slackers. You don't think maybe 597 00:27:38,573 --> 00:27:42,253 Speaker 2: there's just a process in life that people when they're younger, 598 00:27:42,373 --> 00:27:45,133 Speaker 2: they're a bit slack and demanding, and then as they 599 00:27:45,173 --> 00:27:49,093 Speaker 2: reach your age Jack, as a millennial that's hitting forty, 600 00:27:49,733 --> 00:27:54,413 Speaker 2: they start to change and they become more responsible and 601 00:27:55,333 --> 00:27:58,213 Speaker 2: and know more about the world. And then you move 602 00:27:58,253 --> 00:28:01,373 Speaker 2: on now and eventually us gen x's will be thought 603 00:28:01,373 --> 00:28:03,693 Speaker 2: of as boomers, and we'll get the same anger from 604 00:28:03,693 --> 00:28:07,293 Speaker 2: millennials as Gen X are giving boomers. Actually fair gen 605 00:28:07,453 --> 00:28:09,413 Speaker 2: X and boomers GENI have never really hitsled the boomers 606 00:28:09,413 --> 00:28:10,893 Speaker 2: too much. But do you know what I'm saying, Did 607 00:28:10,933 --> 00:28:13,413 Speaker 2: you think maybe it's just a process of generational process? 608 00:28:14,533 --> 00:28:16,653 Speaker 17: Yeah, I think is to a degree, It definitely is. 609 00:28:16,693 --> 00:28:19,773 Speaker 17: But I think like the level they're starting at is 610 00:28:19,853 --> 00:28:25,653 Speaker 17: completely alien to me. You know, the sense of entitlement, 611 00:28:25,693 --> 00:28:27,973 Speaker 17: Like you know, I'm not like definitely one hundred percent. 612 00:28:27,973 --> 00:28:29,373 Speaker 17: We were slack back in the day, and you know, 613 00:28:29,613 --> 00:28:32,373 Speaker 17: still I want to be slack, you know, there's no 614 00:28:32,533 --> 00:28:35,213 Speaker 17: question of that. But it's it's not necessarily the slackness. 615 00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:38,813 Speaker 17: It's more of just the entitlement and what they want, 616 00:28:38,853 --> 00:28:41,613 Speaker 17: like you know, the paypacket they're expecting of oh is 617 00:28:41,653 --> 00:28:45,013 Speaker 17: just completely you know, out of life. But but saying that, 618 00:28:45,093 --> 00:28:49,653 Speaker 17: I've I've hired some very good what i'd call older 619 00:28:50,373 --> 00:28:53,213 Speaker 17: gen z. So they're born like ninety seven, the older ones, 620 00:28:53,693 --> 00:28:55,853 Speaker 17: and they're and they're pretty good. Some of them are 621 00:28:55,853 --> 00:28:59,373 Speaker 17: pretty good. But it's definitely those ones coming through like now, 622 00:28:59,413 --> 00:29:03,093 Speaker 17: heading the early twenties, and they're just yeah. 623 00:29:02,733 --> 00:29:04,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, what is tough at the moment, Jack, and 624 00:29:04,693 --> 00:29:07,333 Speaker 3: I can absolutely see it with employers is that you 625 00:29:07,453 --> 00:29:09,453 Speaker 3: kind of have to be a counselor as well as 626 00:29:09,493 --> 00:29:13,333 Speaker 3: their boss. You know that they're bringing these personal situations 627 00:29:13,333 --> 00:29:15,253 Speaker 3: to work and having a bad day and say, you know, 628 00:29:15,293 --> 00:29:17,613 Speaker 3: I need a half day, boss because I'm not having 629 00:29:17,613 --> 00:29:19,653 Speaker 3: a great day. And as you say, you know that song, 630 00:29:19,733 --> 00:29:21,733 Speaker 3: I don't like it because it triggers me. That's a 631 00:29:21,773 --> 00:29:23,373 Speaker 3: tough position for employers to be. 632 00:29:24,933 --> 00:29:27,373 Speaker 17: Yeah, and you know, and being in management as well. 633 00:29:27,493 --> 00:29:29,373 Speaker 17: You know, you know, in the back of my head, 634 00:29:29,413 --> 00:29:30,133 Speaker 17: I'm thinking. 635 00:29:32,093 --> 00:29:32,293 Speaker 20: Song. 636 00:29:32,413 --> 00:29:34,973 Speaker 17: But you know then I've got to put my you know, 637 00:29:35,093 --> 00:29:38,613 Speaker 17: my my head on and no, you know, and and 638 00:29:38,973 --> 00:29:41,293 Speaker 17: deal with it appropriately. But you know, you do things 639 00:29:41,373 --> 00:29:43,333 Speaker 17: like you know, one on ones once a month or 640 00:29:43,373 --> 00:29:46,813 Speaker 17: something like that, and yeah, you anything can set off, 641 00:29:46,853 --> 00:29:48,773 Speaker 17: like a stream of tears or something like that. 642 00:29:50,213 --> 00:29:51,573 Speaker 2: So what do you what do you think that is? 643 00:29:51,573 --> 00:29:54,693 Speaker 2: Have they been have they been taught the wrong way 644 00:29:54,773 --> 00:29:58,093 Speaker 2: to be? Have they been told things that are unrealistic? 645 00:29:58,253 --> 00:30:00,533 Speaker 2: So why would one generation think that you can come 646 00:30:00,573 --> 00:30:03,653 Speaker 2: to work and expect the work to be a place 647 00:30:03,733 --> 00:30:07,573 Speaker 2: where you looked after emotionally as well as financially. Do 648 00:30:07,613 --> 00:30:09,853 Speaker 2: you think that's been that's been taught to them? Because 649 00:30:09,893 --> 00:30:12,573 Speaker 2: that was definitely not told me. I was basically told 650 00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:15,693 Speaker 2: get a job. Basically, get a job while you start, Yes, 651 00:30:15,893 --> 00:30:16,773 Speaker 2: the situation I was. 652 00:30:17,133 --> 00:30:19,893 Speaker 17: Yeah, now now one hundred percent definitely. I mean, like 653 00:30:19,973 --> 00:30:22,173 Speaker 17: you know, when I finished high school, you know, when 654 00:30:22,173 --> 00:30:24,053 Speaker 17: I was eighteen or whatever year, I was pretty much 655 00:30:24,133 --> 00:30:26,213 Speaker 17: like my parents told me, it's like cold, you can 656 00:30:26,213 --> 00:30:27,933 Speaker 17: stay living here, but you need to go get a job, 657 00:30:27,973 --> 00:30:28,973 Speaker 17: if you need to get some money if you're not 658 00:30:29,053 --> 00:30:31,293 Speaker 17: study and go get a job. So it was very 659 00:30:31,333 --> 00:30:32,973 Speaker 17: much like that work effort and you had to put 660 00:30:33,013 --> 00:30:34,653 Speaker 17: in you know, put in the maney and do the 661 00:30:34,693 --> 00:30:37,773 Speaker 17: hard yards where I feel like, yeah, they've been I 662 00:30:37,773 --> 00:30:39,933 Speaker 17: don't know who's telling them us whatever, it's their parents, 663 00:30:39,973 --> 00:30:42,053 Speaker 17: and you know, I'm presuming that the parents of these 664 00:30:42,133 --> 00:30:46,973 Speaker 17: gen x's is probably sorry gen Z's is probably gen X. 665 00:30:46,973 --> 00:30:48,533 Speaker 17: So they've got maybe a lot of plants for in 666 00:30:48,533 --> 00:30:51,173 Speaker 17: that regard. But you know, I think they've been told 667 00:30:51,293 --> 00:30:53,133 Speaker 17: in schools as well. I think, you know, and I 668 00:30:53,133 --> 00:30:54,733 Speaker 17: think these guys have been told this in schools and 669 00:30:54,773 --> 00:30:58,573 Speaker 17: definitely at university as well, you know, because there's a 670 00:30:58,973 --> 00:31:01,813 Speaker 17: society is changing though how much we value you know, everyone, 671 00:31:01,853 --> 00:31:04,213 Speaker 17: you know you're worth like learning, your sense of work 672 00:31:04,253 --> 00:31:08,533 Speaker 17: and almost and these are good things, but it's to 673 00:31:08,653 --> 00:31:09,933 Speaker 17: when and where to use it. 674 00:31:10,293 --> 00:31:13,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think when you know, when I 675 00:31:13,693 --> 00:31:15,133 Speaker 2: was coming through, it was more than yet to prove 676 00:31:15,133 --> 00:31:17,893 Speaker 2: your sense of worth and it's probably wasn't the best 677 00:31:17,893 --> 00:31:21,373 Speaker 2: emotional way to be and being around, well around a human. 678 00:31:21,453 --> 00:31:23,853 Speaker 2: But you didn't come and you came into working, You 679 00:31:23,853 --> 00:31:25,853 Speaker 2: didn't you got a job, you didn't have any worth 680 00:31:25,853 --> 00:31:28,213 Speaker 2: at all and then yet to prove it. But do 681 00:31:28,253 --> 00:31:31,133 Speaker 2: you think, Jack, there's a huge advantage say gen Z 682 00:31:31,253 --> 00:31:33,173 Speaker 2: coming through right now if they had the attitude that 683 00:31:33,213 --> 00:31:36,453 Speaker 2: you have, because you've obviously risen up to be in 684 00:31:36,493 --> 00:31:39,573 Speaker 2: a position where you're employing people. So the people with 685 00:31:39,693 --> 00:31:43,013 Speaker 2: the attitude now that they'd be actually cut through things 686 00:31:43,053 --> 00:31:45,813 Speaker 2: like a night through through. But but if you, if 687 00:31:45,853 --> 00:31:47,773 Speaker 2: you start with that attitude, your rise to the level 688 00:31:47,813 --> 00:31:48,133 Speaker 2: you're at. 689 00:31:49,573 --> 00:31:50,533 Speaker 21: Yeah, I agree. 690 00:31:50,653 --> 00:31:52,853 Speaker 17: I think it's I think it's definitely a mindset because 691 00:31:53,293 --> 00:31:54,693 Speaker 17: you know, and I'm sure that was the same in 692 00:31:54,733 --> 00:31:57,013 Speaker 17: my generation in yours, But like you get a lot 693 00:31:57,013 --> 00:32:00,733 Speaker 17: of people who just assume just because they've been to 694 00:32:00,813 --> 00:32:03,893 Speaker 17: university and they've got a degree, you know, they should 695 00:32:03,893 --> 00:32:06,653 Speaker 17: be in a position of power or a higher earner. 696 00:32:06,693 --> 00:32:09,173 Speaker 17: And you know, I've had I've had employees that they go, well, 697 00:32:09,173 --> 00:32:11,013 Speaker 17: hold on, you haven't got a university degree. You know, 698 00:32:11,373 --> 00:32:12,813 Speaker 17: why are you getting you know, why are you in 699 00:32:12,853 --> 00:32:15,533 Speaker 17: this position. I'm like, well, hold on, I worked my 700 00:32:15,613 --> 00:32:18,453 Speaker 17: way up to get here. And they don't quite understand that. 701 00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:20,133 Speaker 17: They're like, well hold on, you can't get to this 702 00:32:20,173 --> 00:32:23,213 Speaker 17: position about you know, certain qualifications, but trying to explain 703 00:32:23,253 --> 00:32:28,413 Speaker 17: to people they actually work experienced sometimes Trump's qualifications. 704 00:32:28,893 --> 00:32:31,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I wonder if people particularly coming in 705 00:32:31,733 --> 00:32:35,613 Speaker 2: with a lot of debt from their tertiary education potentially 706 00:32:35,693 --> 00:32:39,133 Speaker 2: going into a job interview going I need to pay 707 00:32:39,173 --> 00:32:41,053 Speaker 2: this back and I need to bear it back soon, 708 00:32:41,173 --> 00:32:43,253 Speaker 2: that might be a factor in it as well. Yeah, 709 00:32:43,293 --> 00:32:45,773 Speaker 2: but yeah, do you think one hundred and eighteen eighty 710 00:32:45,773 --> 00:32:48,493 Speaker 2: do you think that it's just generational that every generation 711 00:32:48,653 --> 00:32:51,133 Speaker 2: is slack when they're eighteen, nineteen and twenty, or certain 712 00:32:51,213 --> 00:32:53,373 Speaker 2: percentage of them are. And as we get older, we 713 00:32:53,493 --> 00:32:57,053 Speaker 2: just go through the stages of life where we where 714 00:32:57,093 --> 00:32:59,293 Speaker 2: we start to look back and forget what we were 715 00:32:59,333 --> 00:33:00,813 Speaker 2: actually like just quickly. 716 00:33:01,053 --> 00:33:03,293 Speaker 3: How as a gen X I'm a millennial as well, 717 00:33:03,413 --> 00:33:06,093 Speaker 3: how did you feel about millennials as you're coming up 718 00:33:06,093 --> 00:33:08,213 Speaker 3: through the ranks and you looked at us newcomers in 719 00:33:08,533 --> 00:33:09,693 Speaker 3: the workforce, how did you feel? 720 00:33:09,813 --> 00:33:11,693 Speaker 2: I think gen Z gen X has have a huge 721 00:33:11,693 --> 00:33:15,293 Speaker 2: problem with millennials because we think they're soft. Because gen 722 00:33:15,533 --> 00:33:17,693 Speaker 2: X was more about being tough and not being a 723 00:33:17,773 --> 00:33:21,373 Speaker 2: sell out and just kicking ars. Really, even though we 724 00:33:21,373 --> 00:33:23,853 Speaker 2: were called slackers by the boomers. Yeah, yeah, so we 725 00:33:23,893 --> 00:33:28,213 Speaker 2: saw millennials as soft and too focused on Harry Potter. 726 00:33:28,053 --> 00:33:30,253 Speaker 3: And we had no problem with gen x's.

So 763 00:35:10,653 --> 00:35:13,013 Speaker 22: that's that's the feel and the vibe that we're getting 764 00:35:13,053 --> 00:35:17,933 Speaker 22: that when he's reading these just job descriptions of jobscriptions, 765 00:35:17,933 --> 00:35:20,333 Speaker 22: but they're cvs. They've they've never worked before. 766 00:35:21,013 --> 00:35:22,772 Speaker 2: And how are you when you were coming through into 767 00:35:22,813 --> 00:35:24,813 Speaker 2: your first job, Lisa, And when did you get your 768 00:35:24,813 --> 00:35:25,333 Speaker 2: first job? 769 00:35:26,053 --> 00:35:27,453 Speaker 22: I got my first job at fifteen. 770 00:35:27,613 --> 00:35:30,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, that's really early. 771 00:35:30,573 --> 00:35:34,453 Speaker 5: And I've had two jobs, you know, right up right up, 772 00:35:34,533 --> 00:35:37,813 Speaker 5: long time part time jobs, working while I was studying, 773 00:35:37,933 --> 00:35:41,653 Speaker 5: and so by the time you graduate, you've been knocked 774 00:35:41,693 --> 00:35:43,373 Speaker 5: back to quite a bit, so you kind of know 775 00:35:43,453 --> 00:35:46,093 Speaker 5: the level of expectation of or what you can and 776 00:35:46,093 --> 00:35:48,613 Speaker 5: can't say to a boss, because that kind of part 777 00:35:48,613 --> 00:35:51,533 Speaker 5: time role has really, you know, shown you. 778 00:35:51,813 --> 00:35:53,773 Speaker 13: The ways of working and how to treat a boss. 779 00:35:53,813 --> 00:35:56,772 Speaker 22: But yeah, when you graduated with a degree and you've 780 00:35:56,773 --> 00:35:59,653 Speaker 22: never worked before, you just feel like you own the world. 781 00:36:00,053 --> 00:36:01,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, it used to be a really important thing, and 782 00:36:01,733 --> 00:36:03,293 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it still is. It is with 783 00:36:03,373 --> 00:36:05,533 Speaker 2: my kids that they get a job when they're teenagers. 784 00:36:05,613 --> 00:36:07,933 Speaker 2: I still have to work at donaldson'sdery down the road 785 00:36:08,373 --> 00:36:13,172 Speaker 2: Donovan's nursery. So Donisan's do is where where the dogs went, 786 00:36:13,573 --> 00:36:15,893 Speaker 2: and it was just a shoveling gravel. And my son, 787 00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:19,173 Speaker 2: he was really lucky because during you know, when it 788 00:36:19,173 --> 00:36:21,373 Speaker 2: came out of COVID time, there weren't a lot of 789 00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:26,133 Speaker 2: employees available for cafes, so a lot of young kids 790 00:36:26,133 --> 00:36:27,693 Speaker 2: at that point that were keen could go in and 791 00:36:27,693 --> 00:36:29,493 Speaker 2: get a job at a cafe. And he's worked at 792 00:36:29,493 --> 00:36:32,653 Speaker 2: this cafe since he was fifteen, and they're good to 793 00:36:32,733 --> 00:36:35,213 Speaker 2: him and he's been given opportunities in the kitchen and 794 00:36:35,213 --> 00:36:37,853 Speaker 2: stuff because he's a good, good worker. But I mean, 795 00:36:38,013 --> 00:36:40,533 Speaker 2: is that the thing do we need to do? We 796 00:36:40,613 --> 00:36:43,013 Speaker 2: need kids to be getting jobs when they're teenagers so 797 00:36:43,053 --> 00:36:46,053 Speaker 2: they understand a what a really rough job is like, 798 00:36:46,653 --> 00:36:49,533 Speaker 2: what a minimum wage job is like. But the second 799 00:36:49,533 --> 00:36:51,813 Speaker 2: part of that is those jobs are those jobs out there? 800 00:36:51,853 --> 00:36:55,173 Speaker 2: Are people willing to employ teenagers to teach them the 801 00:36:55,253 --> 00:36:57,293 Speaker 2: lessons that they take the risk on the. 802 00:36:57,293 --> 00:36:59,293 Speaker 20: Young people, That's exactly it. 803 00:36:59,333 --> 00:37:01,533 Speaker 22: I don't think there is as much as when we 804 00:37:01,533 --> 00:37:05,373 Speaker 22: were younger, and so I think there's that restriction. But 805 00:37:05,373 --> 00:37:08,013 Speaker 22: I also do feel like there's a lot more staying 806 00:37:08,053 --> 00:37:11,413 Speaker 22: at home with appearance because they can for the expectation 807 00:37:11,533 --> 00:37:14,573 Speaker 22: of you know, needing to work, isn't there. So yeah, 808 00:37:14,573 --> 00:37:15,493 Speaker 22: I think it's a bit of both. 809 00:37:16,493 --> 00:37:16,692 Speaker 23: Yeah. 810 00:37:16,733 --> 00:37:18,893 Speaker 2: I think thank you so much for you for your 811 00:37:18,973 --> 00:37:22,133 Speaker 2: insights there, Lisa.

And I think, Matt, whatever generation you're in, 881 00:40:32,813 --> 00:40:34,253 Speaker 3: you look at the next one that came through and 882 00:40:34,253 --> 00:40:35,893 Speaker 3: think you were lazy buggers. 883 00:40:36,053 --> 00:40:38,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting with this text here on nineteen nine 884 00:40:38,053 --> 00:40:40,093 Speaker 2: two Google people don't want to work anymore, and you'll 885 00:40:40,133 --> 00:40:43,453 Speaker 2: find newspaper clippings from eighteen ninety four through today complaining 886 00:40:43,453 --> 00:40:46,093 Speaker 2: about the entitled and lazy younger generation. It seems every 887 00:40:46,253 --> 00:40:48,573 Speaker 2: generation goes through the same cycle as the generation before. 888 00:40:48,573 --> 00:40:50,853 Speaker 2: And I was saying, I was reading some writings from 889 00:40:50,933 --> 00:40:55,133 Speaker 2: Seneca the Younger, who was a He was an advisor 890 00:40:55,173 --> 00:40:59,453 Speaker 2: to Nero, but he was a Roman businessman and philosopher 891 00:40:59,453 --> 00:41:01,813 Speaker 2: and writer, and he was talking about people complaining about 892 00:41:01,813 --> 00:41:04,893 Speaker 2: the young generation coming through in ancient Rome that were 893 00:41:05,093 --> 00:41:09,813 Speaker 2: lazy and entitled. And if you think about it, look, 894 00:41:09,813 --> 00:41:12,613 Speaker 2: there are difference between generations. But the Boomers were the hippies, 895 00:41:12,613 --> 00:41:15,053 Speaker 2: and everyone was worried about the Boomers. Then the Gen z's, 896 00:41:15,293 --> 00:41:20,013 Speaker 2: Gen x's, they were the slackers, the slacker generation you were. 897 00:41:20,293 --> 00:41:23,693 Speaker 2: And then millennials, well, you know, I don't think they're redeemable, 898 00:41:23,733 --> 00:41:27,413 Speaker 2: but now the Gen zs are being hassled as well. 899 00:41:27,493 --> 00:41:29,813 Speaker 3: What were millennials?

We're employers and 914 00:42:06,213 --> 00:42:10,653 Speaker 26: I'm a great believer of that myself. However, those student 915 00:42:10,733 --> 00:42:13,253 Speaker 26: jobs are going to all those people out there that 916 00:42:13,333 --> 00:42:18,133 Speaker 26: are supporting these self services at my teen, the warehouse, supermarkets, 917 00:42:18,613 --> 00:42:22,013 Speaker 26: they are all the student jobs and more for all 918 00:42:22,053 --> 00:42:24,453 Speaker 26: of us that are supporting them that don't get discounted 919 00:42:24,453 --> 00:42:28,373 Speaker 26: groceries because it's saving those companies employing staff students. 920 00:42:28,853 --> 00:42:30,613 Speaker 2: I see what he's saying, Yeah, because I went through 921 00:42:30,893 --> 00:42:34,373 Speaker 2: a fast food drive through the other day and I 922 00:42:34,453 --> 00:42:36,732 Speaker 2: was talking to the person, and then about halfway through 923 00:42:36,733 --> 00:42:40,333 Speaker 2: the order, I discovered that it was ai that I 924 00:42:40,373 --> 00:42:42,773 Speaker 2: wasn't actually talking to a human at all, really, and 925 00:42:42,933 --> 00:42:45,413 Speaker 2: I thought, hang on, that would be a great job 926 00:42:45,453 --> 00:42:47,213 Speaker 2: for someone, That would be a great job for a 927 00:42:47,253 --> 00:42:50,813 Speaker 2: young person, and I'm talking to this Creepyi. I didn't 928 00:42:50,893 --> 00:42:51,453 Speaker 2: like it at all. 929 00:42:52,413 --> 00:42:55,533 Speaker 26: No, Well, there you go, But kids, as I said, 930 00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:58,733 Speaker 26: we're employers and no one's going to like this. But 931 00:42:58,773 --> 00:43:01,133 Speaker 26: you don't know who I am. We had a role 932 00:43:01,333 --> 00:43:03,973 Speaker 26: that we wouldn't employ anyone under the age of thirty 933 00:43:04,013 --> 00:43:06,732 Speaker 26: six unless they had a mortgage or children because they 934 00:43:06,853 --> 00:43:11,413 Speaker 26: don't want to work. Yeah, and we've laid back on 935 00:43:11,493 --> 00:43:14,373 Speaker 26: the slightly since the three months all came out that 936 00:43:14,493 --> 00:43:16,693 Speaker 26: we can don't need a reason, We don't have to 937 00:43:16,733 --> 00:43:21,133 Speaker 26: have a PG against us for being unfar. But they 938 00:43:21,173 --> 00:43:22,053 Speaker 26: just don't want to work. 939 00:43:23,053 --> 00:43:26,973 Speaker 2: So you don't think it's a generational You think it's 940 00:43:26,973 --> 00:43:28,733 Speaker 2: an age thing, because that's sort of what I was 941 00:43:28,853 --> 00:43:30,652 Speaker 2: floating before. And I'm not sure if this is true 942 00:43:30,733 --> 00:43:33,973 Speaker 2: or not that we hassle gen zs now because I'm 943 00:43:34,013 --> 00:43:37,933 Speaker 2: gen X Tyler's millennial. I'm not sure generation you are, 944 00:43:38,413 --> 00:43:41,692 Speaker 2: but we hassle them because they're young. And all young 945 00:43:41,733 --> 00:43:44,293 Speaker 2: people are like that, because what you're saying is thirty 946 00:43:44,293 --> 00:43:47,213 Speaker 2: six is the age they need to be. It's not 947 00:43:47,253 --> 00:43:50,333 Speaker 2: the generation they're in. It's just the age and the 948 00:43:51,093 --> 00:43:53,212 Speaker 2: position you are in the time you are in life. 949 00:43:54,173 --> 00:43:57,253 Speaker 26: Yeah, it's definitely an age thing unless I've got a mortgage, 950 00:43:57,293 --> 00:44:01,293 Speaker 26: your kids. It's what's in it for me, wanting Monday itis, 951 00:44:01,293 --> 00:44:05,253 Speaker 26: Friday itis, it's everything. We now pay a bonus now 952 00:44:05,293 --> 00:44:09,772 Speaker 26: if they turn up five days in a row. Really, Yeah, yeah, 953 00:44:09,813 --> 00:44:12,093 Speaker 26: and it's worked, and they do it because they want 954 00:44:12,093 --> 00:44:15,053 Speaker 26: that bonus on top of their wages. It was the 955 00:44:15,093 --> 00:44:16,093 Speaker 26: best thing we ever did. 956 00:44:16,333 --> 00:44:18,053 Speaker 3: So at the moment, Sue, have you got no one 957 00:44:18,053 --> 00:44:20,053 Speaker 3: on staff that's under the age of thirty six. 958 00:44:21,013 --> 00:44:24,773 Speaker 26: So we have now once that three months came in. However, 959 00:44:24,813 --> 00:44:27,853 Speaker 26: we've turned quite a few younger ones around with a 960 00:44:27,853 --> 00:44:31,253 Speaker 26: lot of perseverance because we could see their potential. But 961 00:44:31,573 --> 00:44:33,973 Speaker 26: funny enough, we've got two younger ones in and both 962 00:44:33,973 --> 00:44:38,413 Speaker 26: of them are absolutely amazing. But before that three month 963 00:44:38,533 --> 00:44:42,573 Speaker 26: trial came in that we didn't have the risk of 964 00:44:42,573 --> 00:44:46,573 Speaker 26: a PG against stuff because they are very precious. We 965 00:44:46,613 --> 00:44:48,893 Speaker 26: wouldn't even give them the time of day, wouldn't even 966 00:44:48,933 --> 00:44:50,772 Speaker 26: interview them. Weren't interested. 967 00:44:51,173 --> 00:44:55,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that is interesting, isn't it? And you certainly. 968 00:44:55,933 --> 00:44:58,333 Speaker 2: I mean I talked about this on the show potentially yesterday. 969 00:44:58,413 --> 00:45:00,613 Speaker 2: But the difference that it was when I had a 970 00:45:00,693 --> 00:45:04,333 Speaker 2: kid to my work ethic, I think that changed everything, 971 00:45:05,133 --> 00:45:09,813 Speaker 2: not necessarily my work ethic, but my Yeah, it changed 972 00:45:10,453 --> 00:45:13,533 Speaker 2: what I believed was important in life, which was paying 973 00:45:13,573 --> 00:45:15,573 Speaker 2: them or because you're looking after the skids of providing. 974 00:45:15,733 --> 00:45:17,973 Speaker 2: So we all didn't end up on the street providing 975 00:45:18,053 --> 00:45:19,053 Speaker 2: is a strong motivator. 976 00:45:19,213 --> 00:45:21,733 Speaker 3: Yeah. So do you think part of it was after 977 00:45:21,813 --> 00:45:24,293 Speaker 3: COVID and we knew how tight the job market was 978 00:45:24,333 --> 00:45:26,773 Speaker 3: and if you wanted a job and you were somewhat competent, 979 00:45:26,853 --> 00:45:29,413 Speaker 3: you could get a job. That quickly changed. Do you 980 00:45:29,453 --> 00:45:31,893 Speaker 3: think that kind of mentality was a bit ingrained with 981 00:45:31,933 --> 00:45:34,493 Speaker 3: the newcomers, as in they say, you know, there's plenty 982 00:45:34,493 --> 00:45:37,213 Speaker 3: of job to go about.

What happened was we were on 1103 00:51:39,493 --> 00:51:42,533 Speaker 4: a farm. My father was a farm farm worker, and 1104 00:51:42,613 --> 00:51:45,053 Speaker 4: we were there and come harvest time they needed somebody 1105 00:51:45,093 --> 00:51:48,172 Speaker 4: driver a truck around the field. Okay, get grain at 1106 00:51:48,173 --> 00:51:50,652 Speaker 4: the header harvester.

So I've been made 1109 00:51:56,453 --> 00:51:58,333 Speaker 4: her done at three times in four years. In England 1110 00:51:58,373 --> 00:52:00,333 Speaker 4: in the in the in the sixties and seventies, you know, 1111 00:52:00,893 --> 00:52:02,453 Speaker 4: so you took whatever you could because there wasn't much 1112 00:52:02,453 --> 00:52:03,573 Speaker 4: to fall back on in those days. 1113 00:52:04,213 --> 00:52:07,013 Speaker 2: Now now, Richard, back in that day, because we're talking 1114 00:52:07,013 --> 00:52:09,933 Speaker 2: about our recruiters across Thisutraelia speaking out about gen Z 1115 00:52:10,053 --> 00:52:12,533 Speaker 2: graduates and Barnes as employees, saying they're arrogant and their 1116 00:52:12,573 --> 00:52:15,213 Speaker 2: expectations leaving a bad taste in their mouths. Back in 1117 00:52:15,333 --> 00:52:18,172 Speaker 2: that day, if you're going back sixty years, were there 1118 00:52:18,213 --> 00:52:20,893 Speaker 2: people like that around then? People that they were there. 1119 00:52:20,933 --> 00:52:26,772 Speaker 4: Yeah, Daddy paid for my education, he gets it not much, yeah, yeah, 1120 00:52:27,453 --> 00:52:29,093 Speaker 4: And there was the old boy network of course. You know, 1121 00:52:29,133 --> 00:52:31,173 Speaker 4: if you had if you had a degree from Saoltera 1122 00:52:31,253 --> 00:52:34,053 Speaker 4: at Cambridge, then you were basically entitled a job in 1123 00:52:34,093 --> 00:52:36,573 Speaker 4: the civil service, which you think you can bleed mum, 1124 00:52:37,733 --> 00:52:39,973 Speaker 4: but you got well paid and if you stayed in 1125 00:52:39,973 --> 00:52:42,573 Speaker 4: that job, you get a huge pension after you've suffered 1126 00:52:42,573 --> 00:52:44,853 Speaker 4: fifty years working there. I a friend of mine who 1127 00:52:44,933 --> 00:52:49,293 Speaker 4: just recently passed, he did just that, and yeah, he 1128 00:52:50,533 --> 00:52:52,973 Speaker 4: was sick in two short planks, but he just stayed 1129 00:52:52,973 --> 00:52:54,573 Speaker 4: there and stayed there and stayed there, and he left 1130 00:52:54,573 --> 00:52:55,493 Speaker 4: with a mass at tension. 1131 00:52:56,133 --> 00:52:58,573 Speaker 2: So potentially I'm just floating this idea and I'll probably 1132 00:52:58,573 --> 00:53:00,453 Speaker 2: get a lot of kickback on this on eight hundred 1133 00:53:00,453 --> 00:53:03,172 Speaker 2: and eighteen eighty. But maybe it's not a gen Z thing. 1134 00:53:03,373 --> 00:53:08,613 Speaker 2: Maybe it's just a person thing. And different generations start 1135 00:53:08,653 --> 00:53:12,133 Speaker 2: off being a person that gets into a job, and 1136 00:53:12,213 --> 00:53:14,373 Speaker 2: if you are a person with a certain mindset, then 1137 00:53:14,373 --> 00:53:16,453 Speaker 2: you may end up being the person that manages people. 1138 00:53:16,653 --> 00:53:18,373 Speaker 2: And then you look back and then you see a 1139 00:53:18,413 --> 00:53:20,973 Speaker 2: bunch of generation or people coming through with making demands 1140 00:53:20,973 --> 00:53:23,853 Speaker 2: and being a certain type person and not working hard 1141 00:53:23,893 --> 00:53:26,133 Speaker 2: and making demands, and then you think that that's that 1142 00:53:26,213 --> 00:53:29,253 Speaker 2: whole generation.

So so I'm fifty three, my 1184 00:55:26,533 --> 00:55:29,413 Speaker 19: girls are now twenty two and twenty four. I mean 1185 00:55:29,493 --> 00:55:32,533 Speaker 19: they started out as young people with a paper around, 1186 00:55:33,133 --> 00:55:34,853 Speaker 19: you know, when they were eleven or twelve, with the 1187 00:55:34,893 --> 00:55:39,773 Speaker 19: assistance of their mother, and it taught them expectations and 1188 00:55:40,493 --> 00:55:44,173 Speaker 19: meeting being accountable for something. They put a little bit 1189 00:55:44,173 --> 00:55:48,333 Speaker 19: of money in their bank accounts, so if they wanted 1190 00:55:48,333 --> 00:55:50,293 Speaker 19: something at the shops, I'm like, sure you can have that, 1191 00:55:50,413 --> 00:55:52,373 Speaker 19: and they're like, do I have to pay?

I'm sure 1225 00:57:30,453 --> 00:57:33,253 Speaker 19: the schools are telling them, oh, you pick a job, 1226 00:57:33,293 --> 00:57:35,613 Speaker 19: and you should love going to work every day and 1227 00:57:35,813 --> 00:57:38,853 Speaker 19: you know, have a great time and enjoy every minute.

Yeah, 1233 00:57:47,853 --> 00:57:51,053 Speaker 19: it isn't real. And I think a lot of them 1234 00:57:51,413 --> 00:57:53,533 Speaker 19: might believe it to be that they should love every 1235 00:57:53,573 --> 00:57:57,213 Speaker 19: moment of what they do. Yeah, as soon as you 1236 00:57:57,213 --> 00:57:58,573 Speaker 19: have a job and you have to do it, I 1237 00:57:58,613 --> 00:58:00,933 Speaker 19: mean they're already begin to not like it so much 1238 00:58:01,093 --> 00:58:04,133 Speaker 19: because you don't like me that you have to do it, 1239 00:58:04,213 --> 00:58:04,493 Speaker 19: you know. 1240 00:58:05,053 --> 00:58:07,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's actually I believe there's a problem 1241 00:58:07,733 --> 00:58:10,293 Speaker 2: in telling everyone that they're special and that they're going 1242 00:58:10,373 --> 00:58:13,533 Speaker 2: to need to follow their dreams and be the most 1243 00:58:13,533 --> 00:58:16,733 Speaker 2: amazing person they can be, because really, that isn't the 1244 00:58:16,733 --> 00:58:18,933 Speaker 2: life that makes you happy. Just a life where you 1245 00:58:18,973 --> 00:58:23,253 Speaker 2: have friends and you have family, and you have a 1246 00:58:23,333 --> 00:58:25,893 Speaker 2: job and you know people is enough. And going back 1247 00:58:25,933 --> 00:58:28,573 Speaker 2: to the most famous gen X movie of all time, 1248 00:58:28,693 --> 00:58:30,373 Speaker 2: you know, the most gen X movie of all time, 1249 00:58:30,373 --> 00:58:32,693 Speaker 2: I'd say was Fight Club and the book by Chuck 1250 00:58:32,773 --> 00:58:36,293 Speaker 2: Pallianak and there's a great quote from that. We've all 1251 00:58:36,293 --> 00:58:38,373 Speaker 2: been raised on television to believe that one day we'll 1252 00:58:38,413 --> 00:58:40,653 Speaker 2: all be millionaires, movie gods and rock stars. But we 1253 00:58:40,693 --> 00:58:42,973 Speaker 2: won't be and we're slowly learning that fact and we're 1254 00:58:43,053 --> 00:58:43,933 Speaker 2: very angry about it. 1255 00:58:44,453 --> 00:58:44,933 Speaker 3: Great line. 1256 00:58:45,493 --> 00:58:47,493 Speaker 2: It's a bad thing to tell young people that you 1257 00:58:47,573 --> 00:58:49,973 Speaker 2: have to live in a life less ordinary and an 1258 00:58:49,973 --> 00:58:53,613 Speaker 2: incredibly extraordinary life, because so few people get to do it. 1259 00:58:54,253 --> 00:58:56,933 Speaker 2: You just need you just need to live a life. 1260 00:58:56,973 --> 00:58:59,213 Speaker 2: Some of it's going to be punishing and some of 1261 00:58:59,253 --> 00:59:03,533 Speaker 2: it is going to be great. But it's so cruel 1262 00:59:03,573 --> 00:59:05,533 Speaker 2: to tell people that they're not going to be happy 1263 00:59:05,573 --> 00:59:08,573 Speaker 2: and that their life isn't good or worthwhile unless a 1264 00:59:08,733 --> 00:59:11,893 Speaker 2: very very special and I think it's. 1265 00:59:11,773 --> 00:59:14,933 Speaker 19: Not realistic and it could be some problem that there's 1266 00:59:14,973 --> 00:59:18,013 Speaker 19: an expectation that it's going to be all that and 1267 00:59:18,253 --> 00:59:21,413 Speaker 19: you step into the workforce with the top salary without 1268 00:59:21,453 --> 00:59:23,573 Speaker 19: doing the steps to climb the ladder. You know, if 1269 00:59:23,573 --> 00:59:26,533 Speaker 19: you start at the bottom, everybody has to work your 1270 00:59:26,573 --> 00:59:26,933 Speaker 19: way out. 1271 00:59:27,253 --> 00:59:30,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, go on, you sound like a great mum, Jeanette. 1272 00:59:30,053 --> 00:59:32,973 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for calling through just on the 1273 00:59:33,093 --> 00:59:35,573 Speaker 3: idea of a job as a student. Do you think 1274 00:59:35,653 --> 00:59:38,733 Speaker 3: that is lost in the younger generations? Is because when 1275 00:59:38,773 --> 00:59:41,173 Speaker 3: I was fifteen, it was kind of I don't ever 1276 00:59:41,253 --> 00:59:43,573 Speaker 3: say I go and get a supermarket job. That was 1277 00:59:43,653 --> 00:59:45,853 Speaker 3: what I didn't even think there was an option. I 1278 00:59:46,013 --> 00:59:49,133 Speaker 3: at that point Mum decided that hey, if you want 1279 00:59:49,133 --> 00:59:50,413 Speaker 3: things in life, you're going to have to pay for 1280 00:59:50,413 --> 00:59:53,293 Speaker 3: it yourself. So I went to go get a supermarket 1281 00:59:53,333 --> 00:59:55,453 Speaker 3: job and then work at a fish factory, and on 1282 00:59:55,493 --> 00:59:58,293 Speaker 3: and on and on it went. And the fish factory 1283 00:59:58,333 --> 01:00:01,093 Speaker 3: that was great money, but really really tough job. 1284 01:00:01,413 --> 01:00:02,933 Speaker 2: Yes, someone once said to me, one of the best 1285 01:00:02,973 --> 01:00:05,133 Speaker 2: things to do for kids is keep them broken tired, 1286 01:00:06,293 --> 01:00:09,013 Speaker 2: so don't give them much money and get them into 1287 01:00:09,053 --> 01:00:10,893 Speaker 2: a lot of sport, and then that's the best way 1288 01:00:10,893 --> 01:00:14,013 Speaker 2: to set them up in life. Because because if you 1289 01:00:14,373 --> 01:00:17,373 Speaker 2: want a car, and I know that as a young 1290 01:00:17,373 --> 01:00:19,973 Speaker 2: boy coming up, all I wanted was a car, and 1291 01:00:20,213 --> 01:00:22,813 Speaker 2: if your parents buy your car, then you think that 1292 01:00:22,933 --> 01:00:26,493 Speaker 2: cars just appear. But if you work your butt off 1293 01:00:26,573 --> 01:00:29,453 Speaker 2: and get a car, then that car means so very 1294 01:00:29,573 --> 01:00:32,733 Speaker 2: much to you. But the question is can can kids 1295 01:00:32,773 --> 01:00:35,173 Speaker 2: get those jobs? Are people giving them the chance? And 1296 01:00:35,253 --> 01:00:37,733 Speaker 2: as the caller said before, a lot of those jobs 1297 01:00:37,773 --> 01:00:42,693 Speaker 2: are being replaced by automatic checkouts and you know automation. 1298 01:00:42,893 --> 01:00:44,613 Speaker 2: As I said before when I went through that drive 1299 01:00:44,653 --> 01:00:47,133 Speaker 2: through and it was AI, here's a text through. I 1300 01:00:47,173 --> 01:00:50,173 Speaker 2: own a hospital business plus retail store, being in business 1301 01:00:50,173 --> 01:00:52,293 Speaker 2: thirty years, and I can tell you now eighty percent 1302 01:00:52,333 --> 01:00:55,253 Speaker 2: of gen z are completely useless, no initiative, no common sense, 1303 01:00:55,453 --> 01:00:58,533 Speaker 2: and completely entitled. Can barely work a four hour shift. 1304 01:00:58,693 --> 01:01:00,013 Speaker 2: The parents have a lot to answer for. 1305 01:01:00,533 --> 01:01:03,373 Speaker 3: Great text.

It is twenty four 1329 01:02:24,653 --> 01:02:28,293 Speaker 3: to three Dallas. Our employees demanding too much when they 1330 01:02:28,333 --> 01:02:29,053 Speaker 3: started off work. 1331 01:02:30,413 --> 01:02:34,693 Speaker 25: They are mate, some of them are. I'm an employee myself. 1332 01:02:36,493 --> 01:02:40,413 Speaker 25: I worked my way up through the ranks. You know, 1333 01:02:40,413 --> 01:02:42,933 Speaker 25: I did my hard yards when I was younger. You know, 1334 01:02:42,973 --> 01:02:45,573 Speaker 25: I did the paper out some of the some of 1335 01:02:45,613 --> 01:02:48,693 Speaker 25: the listeners previously, but we're all we're all correct in 1336 01:02:48,733 --> 01:02:50,653 Speaker 25: a way, like it's all about perspective and how you 1337 01:02:50,653 --> 01:02:55,293 Speaker 25: look at things. I think it's a sort of like 1338 01:02:55,333 --> 01:03:02,053 Speaker 25: a generational issue. I was mainly brought up by my grandparents. 1339 01:03:02,173 --> 01:03:05,493 Speaker 25: I was distilled of that of the old values You've 1340 01:03:05,493 --> 01:03:07,893 Speaker 25: got to work hard and you know, get your foot 1341 01:03:07,933 --> 01:03:10,973 Speaker 25: in the door. So I sort of do you think 1342 01:03:11,013 --> 01:03:14,213 Speaker 25: that the younger ones now that they're coming through like 1343 01:03:14,333 --> 01:03:16,853 Speaker 25: post COVID, they've sort of got a sense of entitlement. 1344 01:03:17,413 --> 01:03:20,453 Speaker 25: But it's also how they're brought up as well. So 1345 01:03:21,293 --> 01:03:24,573 Speaker 25: I guess that's sort of like a multitude of avenues. 1346 01:03:24,613 --> 01:03:29,293 Speaker 25: I guess for you know, wanting wanting more money. But 1347 01:03:30,493 --> 01:03:32,733 Speaker 25: I mean it just depends really like depending on what 1348 01:03:32,773 --> 01:03:35,253 Speaker 25: they're doing, who the person is, you know, what their 1349 01:03:35,293 --> 01:03:40,893 Speaker 25: background is sort of things. So I guess, you know, like, yeah, 1350 01:03:40,933 --> 01:03:43,173 Speaker 25: it's just one of one of those things really that 1351 01:03:43,333 --> 01:03:45,253 Speaker 25: sort of you look, you've got to look back at 1352 01:03:45,293 --> 01:03:48,053 Speaker 25: it and go, well, what what can these people offer me, 1353 01:03:48,293 --> 01:03:51,293 Speaker 25: Like say be being an employee, Well, what are these 1354 01:03:51,293 --> 01:03:53,613 Speaker 25: people going to kind of offer? You know, if they 1355 01:03:53,613 --> 01:03:57,333 Speaker 25: haven't done any work previously, and so either you hire 1356 01:03:57,373 --> 01:03:59,293 Speaker 25: these people when they're going to turn out to be duds, 1357 01:03:59,533 --> 01:04:01,613 Speaker 25: or you give them a chance and they end up 1358 01:04:01,613 --> 01:04:04,773 Speaker 25: being fined. But it's just if you're coming off the 1359 01:04:04,813 --> 01:04:07,693 Speaker 25: bat with no work experience, or you know, you've been 1360 01:04:07,693 --> 01:04:09,733 Speaker 25: to yunion, done this, and you've done that, and you've 1361 01:04:09,733 --> 01:04:12,453 Speaker 25: come out and you've got no work experience. Either you're 1362 01:04:12,453 --> 01:04:16,693 Speaker 25: not really you can't really demand more money for your buck. Really. 1363 01:04:16,933 --> 01:04:19,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, now, Dallas, would you say then that it's not 1364 01:04:20,013 --> 01:04:23,253 Speaker 2: so much a generational thing, a gen Z thing, it's 1365 01:04:23,333 --> 01:04:27,053 Speaker 2: more just a person thing. And there's always been people 1366 01:04:27,053 --> 01:04:30,813 Speaker 2: that are arrogant and demanding and expected more, and there's 1367 01:04:30,813 --> 01:04:35,213 Speaker 2: always been people that zero in and focus on on 1368 01:04:35,453 --> 01:04:37,533 Speaker 2: on working, getting getting ahead. 1369 01:04:38,453 --> 01:04:41,493 Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah, no, I suppose it is more of a 1370 01:04:41,853 --> 01:04:47,973 Speaker 25: more of a person thing. Yeah, yeah, I don't agree 1371 01:04:48,013 --> 01:04:48,213 Speaker 25: with that. 1372 01:04:48,533 --> 01:04:51,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, sorry, Tyler. Because the boomers, as I said before, 1373 01:04:51,693 --> 01:04:54,293 Speaker 2: with the hippies, the gen Z with the slackers, the 1374 01:04:54,333 --> 01:04:59,853 Speaker 2: millennial with the emotional hem afiliates, and now now the 1375 01:04:59,893 --> 01:05:03,533 Speaker 2: gen zs are seen as being demanding. 1376 01:05:04,373 --> 01:05:06,613 Speaker 3: Do you think tell us though, that that for a 1377 01:05:06,613 --> 01:05:08,573 Speaker 3: lot of people is something that you learn and as 1378 01:05:08,613 --> 01:05:10,653 Speaker 3: you go along and honesty call. When I first got 1379 01:05:10,653 --> 01:05:12,493 Speaker 3: into the workforce as a fifteen year old at the 1380 01:05:12,493 --> 01:05:15,613 Speaker 3: first supermarket and I was cleaning up the butchery after 1381 01:05:15,693 --> 01:05:17,733 Speaker 3: and I had an hour to get my job done 1382 01:05:17,773 --> 01:05:19,893 Speaker 3: and they paid me. I think it was about nine bucks. 1383 01:05:20,253 --> 01:05:21,893 Speaker 3: And I couldn't do it in an hour.

Wasn't a real private jet, 1628 01:16:52,093 --> 01:16:53,812 Speaker 2: but it was being hired out so people could take 1629 01:16:53,853 --> 01:16:56,492 Speaker 2: Instagram shots of themselves sitting in a private jet and 1630 01:16:56,532 --> 01:16:59,092 Speaker 2: pretending to be a condition. And when they just rented 1631 01:16:59,133 --> 01:17:02,612 Speaker 2: the private jet at twenty twenty dollars for a couple 1632 01:17:02,612 --> 01:17:03,052 Speaker 2: of shots. 1633 01:17:03,133 --> 01:17:06,052 Speaker 3: Yeah, and thank you very much now before we wrap 1634 01:17:06,133 --> 01:17:06,652 Speaker 3: up the hour. 1635 01:17:06,772 --> 01:17:08,772 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought this is an interesting thing because you know, 1636 01:17:08,812 --> 01:17:10,892 Speaker 2: you can talk about the generations, but you can also 1637 01:17:10,933 --> 01:17:13,253 Speaker 2: talk about it as an individual and what an individual 1638 01:17:13,293 --> 01:17:16,293 Speaker 2: needs to do to get ahead. And you know, you 1639 01:17:16,333 --> 01:17:18,373 Speaker 2: can go me into work and you can be demanding. 1640 01:17:18,452 --> 01:17:20,972 Speaker 2: But for my book, A Life is Punishing, the number 1641 01:17:20,973 --> 01:17:23,093 Speaker 2: one selling book you can it was a number one 1642 01:17:23,093 --> 01:17:25,492 Speaker 2: best seller. Actually A lofe was Punishing by Mattethia Yego. 1643 01:17:25,893 --> 01:17:27,173 Speaker 2: Just a bit of a plug there. But I talked 1644 01:17:27,213 --> 01:17:29,652 Speaker 2: to this professor Scott Galloway for it. He's a very 1645 01:17:29,652 --> 01:17:31,973 Speaker 2: successful businessman and this is what he said about young 1646 01:17:32,053 --> 01:17:35,652 Speaker 2: people coming through. He said, capitalist societies are forgiving places 1647 01:17:35,692 --> 01:17:39,892 Speaker 2: for people with money and harsh, rapacious places for people without. 1648 01:17:40,293 --> 01:17:43,452 Speaker 2: Few people develop economic security without working their asses off 1649 01:17:43,452 --> 01:17:45,572 Speaker 2: for ten or twenty years. It cost me my hair, 1650 01:17:45,652 --> 01:17:47,452 Speaker 2: my first marriage, and it was worth it because now 1651 01:17:47,452 --> 01:17:50,212 Speaker 2: I can spend the afternoons watching my son play rugby. 1652 01:17:50,652 --> 01:17:52,612 Speaker 2: That was my way. It's not everyone's way, but if 1653 01:17:52,652 --> 01:17:54,973 Speaker 2: you're going to make it in life to live the 1654 01:17:55,093 --> 01:17:57,293 Speaker 2: dreams you want, you are going to have to work 1655 01:17:57,333 --> 01:18:00,973 Speaker 2: your butt off while you're young. So unfortunately, that is 1656 01:18:01,133 --> 01:18:03,452 Speaker 2: the way it is for most people. Well fortunately because 1657 01:18:03,612 --> 01:18:04,932 Speaker 2: it leads to happiness struggle. 1658 01:18:05,173 --> 01:18:07,572 Speaker 3: Nice way to end, Thank you very much. Really enjoyed 1659 01:18:07,572 --> 01:18:10,133 Speaker 3: those two hours. After three o'clock, we're gonna be talking 1660 01:18:10,173 --> 01:18:11,173 Speaker 3: about the love of our. 1661 01:18:11,053 --> 01:18:17,452 Speaker 1: Dogs, talking with you all afternoon. It's Matt Heathen, Tyler 1662 01:18:17,532 --> 01:18:21,732 Speaker 1: Adams afternoons you for twenty twenty four, US dog said, be. 1663 01:18:22,732 --> 01:18:26,452 Speaker 3: Good afternoons you seven past three Tuesday, feeling good. 1664 01:18:26,492 --> 01:18:30,133 Speaker 2: Hope you are too, Yeah, and we are gonna put 1665 01:18:30,173 --> 01:18:34,213 Speaker 2: the generational walls behind us and lean into doggy love. 1666 01:18:34,893 --> 01:18:38,093 Speaker 2: How much you love your dogs? And animal psychologist Mark 1667 01:18:38,133 --> 01:18:41,653 Speaker 2: Viddie says this, We now know from research that oxytone 1668 01:18:41,692 --> 01:18:43,812 Speaker 2: and the love hormone is about the same level as 1669 01:18:43,812 --> 01:18:46,333 Speaker 2: we have towards our children, our family members, as it 1670 01:18:46,412 --> 01:18:49,013 Speaker 2: is to our dogs. We have the same level with them, 1671 01:18:49,053 --> 01:18:51,412 Speaker 2: and therefore the relationship that we have is akin to 1672 01:18:51,452 --> 01:18:55,293 Speaker 2: our human relationships. They are surrogate kids really in many ways. 1673 01:18:55,372 --> 01:18:59,093 Speaker 2: So what it's really saying is that we love our 1674 01:18:59,133 --> 01:19:01,652 Speaker 2: dogs and it's possible to love our dogs as much 1675 01:19:01,732 --> 01:19:04,452 Speaker 2: as we love our kids. Is that crazy? And that 1676 01:19:05,053 --> 01:19:07,173 Speaker 2: is that bad? And can you love a dog too much? 1677 01:19:07,213 --> 01:19:08,852 Speaker 2: Do you love your dog too much? Do you know 1678 01:19:08,893 --> 01:19:11,932 Speaker 2: people that love their dogs too much? And I'm meaning 1679 01:19:11,973 --> 01:19:15,492 Speaker 2: that in a I won't even I won't even say that, 1680 01:19:15,612 --> 01:19:21,012 Speaker 2: but do we Is it wrong to love your dog 1681 01:19:21,053 --> 01:19:22,732 Speaker 2: that much? To treat your dogs? 1682 01:19:22,812 --> 01:19:22,932 Speaker 17: So? 1683 01:19:23,013 --> 01:19:26,412 Speaker 2: I know, with my dog Colin, if he's on the 1684 01:19:26,412 --> 01:19:28,532 Speaker 2: other side of town and he's going to be alone 1685 01:19:28,973 --> 01:19:31,372 Speaker 2: for a couple of hours. I will drive to the 1686 01:19:31,412 --> 01:19:33,732 Speaker 2: other side of town to pick them up to look 1687 01:19:33,772 --> 01:19:35,652 Speaker 2: after him because I don't want it to be alone. 1688 01:19:36,013 --> 01:19:38,452 Speaker 2: Is that crazy? It's what I'd do for my kids 1689 01:19:38,452 --> 01:19:40,692 Speaker 2: as well. Is it crazy? 1690 01:19:40,812 --> 01:19:41,093 Speaker 25: Is it? 1691 01:19:41,213 --> 01:19:43,772 Speaker 2: Is it wrong? Is it damaging to love your dog 1692 01:19:43,853 --> 01:19:46,372 Speaker 2: that much? And you know, how much do you love 1693 01:19:46,412 --> 01:19:48,213 Speaker 2: your dog? And when does it become a problem when 1694 01:19:48,213 --> 01:19:51,253 Speaker 2: you I mean, I've got some friends that have spent 1695 01:19:51,893 --> 01:19:55,492 Speaker 2: thirty five thousand dollars on their dog recently on at 1696 01:19:55,532 --> 01:19:58,852 Speaker 2: the vets Ye with a problem with with the poor 1697 01:19:58,893 --> 01:20:02,732 Speaker 2: little guy's stomach. Is that Is that too much? Because 1698 01:20:02,732 --> 01:20:05,452 Speaker 2: if you've got kids and you're spending thirty five thousand 1699 01:20:05,492 --> 01:20:07,933 Speaker 2: dollars on your dog, then that's going to have a 1700 01:20:07,973 --> 01:20:11,452 Speaker 2: material impact, depending on how wealthy you are, on the 1701 01:20:11,492 --> 01:20:12,452 Speaker 2: future of your kids. 1702 01:20:12,652 --> 01:20:14,732 Speaker 3: It's a good point. I mean, we don't have kids yet, 1703 01:20:14,732 --> 01:20:16,612 Speaker 3: but I would sell the house if I needed to, 1704 01:20:16,812 --> 01:20:19,093 Speaker 3: if people needed the money to be fixed up, I 1705 01:20:19,133 --> 01:20:21,452 Speaker 3: would sell the freaking house. I don't know how Maide 1706 01:20:21,452 --> 01:20:24,253 Speaker 3: feels about that, but she gets elevated and I think 1707 01:20:24,253 --> 01:20:26,692 Speaker 3: it is it's a new thing. Isn't it that a 1708 01:20:26,692 --> 01:20:29,173 Speaker 3: lot of people are putting their dogs up the pecking order, 1709 01:20:29,572 --> 01:20:30,892 Speaker 3: maybe at the expense of their. 1710 01:20:30,812 --> 01:20:32,932 Speaker 2: Wife or kids. Well, straight straight out of the bat 1711 01:20:33,053 --> 01:20:35,412 Speaker 2: nine two nine two texts come through. I literally love 1712 01:20:35,452 --> 01:20:37,173 Speaker 2: my dog more than my wife and I tell her 1713 01:20:37,213 --> 01:20:39,852 Speaker 2: that all the time. See that's not healthy. No, I 1714 01:20:39,893 --> 01:20:42,812 Speaker 2: would say that's not healthy. I think it starts to 1715 01:20:42,853 --> 01:20:45,932 Speaker 2: get dangerous. And what does it say about us? Because 1716 01:20:45,973 --> 01:20:48,692 Speaker 2: dogs give you unconditional love back. And they've done the 1717 01:20:48,692 --> 01:20:52,093 Speaker 2: same sort of studies on dogs' brains, and the part 1718 01:20:52,093 --> 01:20:55,972 Speaker 2: of their brain that we love fires off, just goes crazy. 1719 01:20:55,973 --> 01:20:57,812 Speaker 2: You know when your dog's staring at you and it's 1720 01:20:57,853 --> 01:20:59,732 Speaker 2: like that the love part of its brain is just 1721 01:20:59,812 --> 01:21:04,293 Speaker 2: firing and firing. And is that why we love them 1722 01:21:04,333 --> 01:21:08,772 Speaker 2: so much? Because they unconditionally give us love back. There's 1723 01:21:08,772 --> 01:21:12,532 Speaker 2: someone that said to me once, a dog is always 1724 01:21:12,572 --> 01:21:14,293 Speaker 2: ready to party with you. You come home and the 1725 01:21:14,333 --> 01:21:15,812 Speaker 2: dog doesn't even know what you're talking about. But if 1726 01:21:15,853 --> 01:21:18,532 Speaker 2: you go Colin, you're a good boy, colin talking to 1727 01:21:18,572 --> 01:21:20,572 Speaker 2: see it, He'll start running around, he'll go crazy, he's 1728 01:21:20,612 --> 01:21:23,852 Speaker 2: just so pleased to see you. Is that unhealthy love? 1729 01:21:24,372 --> 01:21:24,612 Speaker 20: Yeah? 1730 01:21:24,692 --> 01:21:26,532 Speaker 3: Well not for me, as a human. I love that. 1731 01:21:26,893 --> 01:21:28,973 Speaker 3: I mean, when you get home, Colin would run to 1732 01:21:29,013 --> 01:21:32,012 Speaker 3: the dog and jump right and just that little tail wagging. 1733 01:21:32,093 --> 01:21:33,852 Speaker 3: I mean that's you can have the worst day on 1734 01:21:33,893 --> 01:21:35,452 Speaker 3: the world and you get home. For that, I've got 1735 01:21:35,492 --> 01:21:37,013 Speaker 3: to say, you know, maybe needs to do that a 1736 01:21:37,013 --> 01:21:39,692 Speaker 3: bit more. Run at me when I come through the door, Taylah, 1737 01:21:39,853 --> 01:21:41,412 Speaker 3: how are you? I mean sometimes he. 1738 01:21:41,372 --> 01:21:43,692 Speaker 2: Does, but I don't know, I don't know. I think 1739 01:21:44,133 --> 01:21:46,333 Speaker 2: we want a different kind of love from humans because 1740 01:21:46,812 --> 01:21:49,772 Speaker 2: that kind of staring at you constantly and following you 1741 01:21:49,812 --> 01:21:52,213 Speaker 2: around the house kind of love from your partner, but 1742 01:21:52,772 --> 01:21:55,932 Speaker 2: would be weird. It would be it would be creepy, 1743 01:21:55,973 --> 01:21:57,692 Speaker 2: it'll be wrong, and you'd lose a lot of respect 1744 01:21:57,692 --> 01:21:57,972 Speaker 2: for them. 1745 01:21:58,492 --> 01:21:59,812 Speaker 3: How much do you spend on Colin? 1746 01:22:00,853 --> 01:22:07,932 Speaker 2: I mean, I've got absolutely no idea a lot. Although 1747 01:22:07,933 --> 01:22:11,812 Speaker 2: he's only on dry food because the vet said that 1748 01:22:11,853 --> 01:22:14,253 Speaker 2: he needed it for whatever reason you say with the vet. 1749 01:22:14,293 --> 01:22:16,412 Speaker 2: He's on this punishing dry food, which I feel bad about. 1750 01:22:17,253 --> 01:22:19,732 Speaker 2: But so I know a lot of people that spend 1751 01:22:19,812 --> 01:22:22,732 Speaker 2: a whole lot just on their food. But we've got 1752 01:22:22,732 --> 01:22:25,532 Speaker 2: an injection that we have to give give Colin because 1753 01:22:25,853 --> 01:22:29,213 Speaker 2: he's a mini Snail's a Jack Russell Cross and I 1754 01:22:29,213 --> 01:22:30,692 Speaker 2: think this happens to them a little bit. They're called 1755 01:22:30,692 --> 01:22:34,772 Speaker 2: a snack, but they have it's sort of phantom scratching. 1756 01:22:34,812 --> 01:22:36,893 Speaker 2: They always think that they're a little bit itchy, so 1757 01:22:36,933 --> 01:22:40,253 Speaker 2: they're scratching. So whether this is true or not. And look, 1758 01:22:40,293 --> 01:22:42,333 Speaker 2: I'm a little bit suspicious of vets from time to time, 1759 01:22:42,372 --> 01:22:45,652 Speaker 2: but this is a this is an injection that we 1760 01:22:45,692 --> 01:22:48,492 Speaker 2: have to give him, which is in the three hundreds 1761 01:22:48,933 --> 01:22:51,492 Speaker 2: once a month. So if you're looking at that's that's 1762 01:22:51,652 --> 01:22:54,173 Speaker 2: you know, it's close to ninety dollars a week just 1763 01:22:54,213 --> 01:22:56,372 Speaker 2: on his injection. So that's a lot. 1764 01:22:56,532 --> 01:22:57,093 Speaker 3: That is a lot. 1765 01:22:57,213 --> 01:22:59,852 Speaker 2: That's a lot. But I mean my kids cost me 1766 01:22:59,853 --> 01:23:00,612 Speaker 2: a lot more than that. 1767 01:23:00,853 --> 01:23:03,812 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't come home from the grocery store without 1768 01:23:03,853 --> 01:23:06,133 Speaker 3: getting a treat for Pepper. If I get a treat 1769 01:23:06,173 --> 01:23:07,732 Speaker 3: for me and Mave, then I think, right, I'm going 1770 01:23:07,772 --> 01:23:09,452 Speaker 3: to get a treat for Pepper as well. And Bunning's 1771 01:23:09,492 --> 01:23:11,333 Speaker 3: the other day to get a law mower and saw 1772 01:23:11,333 --> 01:23:13,093 Speaker 3: a calling mat for a pitt. She doesn't really need 1773 01:23:13,133 --> 01:23:15,293 Speaker 3: the calling mat, but I spent fifty bucks on that. Anyway, 1774 01:23:15,293 --> 01:23:17,213 Speaker 3: get home and Mave, just like, what are you doing? 1775 01:23:17,293 --> 01:23:19,093 Speaker 3: She's not going to use that, and she's not using that. 1776 01:23:19,372 --> 01:23:22,412 Speaker 2: I've spent a stupid amount of money on dog that 1777 01:23:22,692 --> 01:23:24,652 Speaker 2: things for Colin to sleep on, and he won't. There's 1778 01:23:24,812 --> 01:23:28,372 Speaker 2: only this one stinky bean bag. It's disgusting. That's the 1779 01:23:28,372 --> 01:23:30,892 Speaker 2: only thing that he wants to sleep on. But you know, 1780 01:23:30,973 --> 01:23:33,412 Speaker 2: and that's very different. I mean people with working dogs 1781 01:23:33,612 --> 01:23:36,333 Speaker 2: and people you know on farms have a different relationship 1782 01:23:36,333 --> 01:23:38,572 Speaker 2: with their dogs, well some of their dogs. Yeah, And 1783 01:23:39,213 --> 01:23:43,053 Speaker 2: you know, and and I can, I can kind of 1784 01:23:43,093 --> 01:23:46,412 Speaker 2: see how it can go too far. So if you're 1785 01:23:46,452 --> 01:23:49,333 Speaker 2: if you're you know, so if you got to the 1786 01:23:49,372 --> 01:23:52,852 Speaker 2: point where you were spending as much, I think it's wrong. 1787 01:23:52,933 --> 01:23:55,253 Speaker 2: If you're spending as much time and as much money 1788 01:23:55,253 --> 01:23:57,412 Speaker 2: on your dog as your kids.

Getay, guys, I love my cats 1832 01:25:47,492 --> 01:25:50,652 Speaker 3: more than anyone, including my husband and every one of 1833 01:25:50,652 --> 01:25:53,812 Speaker 3: my family members. It is unhealthy. And before you say 1834 01:25:53,853 --> 01:25:56,572 Speaker 3: cats aren't the same, my cats are runs and meals 1835 01:25:56,612 --> 01:25:58,133 Speaker 3: the minute I drive in from work. 1836 01:25:58,452 --> 01:26:00,173 Speaker 2: I find it interesting. And I've seen this before, and 1837 01:26:00,213 --> 01:26:02,133 Speaker 2: someone might say this is wrong, and I'd love to 1838 01:26:02,133 --> 01:26:03,892 Speaker 2: hear from you in eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. 1839 01:26:03,933 --> 01:26:06,412 Speaker 2: But I've seen people that before they have kids, they 1840 01:26:06,412 --> 01:26:08,812 Speaker 2: love their cats a lot. They love their cats a lot, 1841 01:26:08,812 --> 01:26:10,812 Speaker 2: and then they have the kid and then the cat 1842 01:26:11,173 --> 01:26:14,213 Speaker 2: goes way down the list. But people that have dogs 1843 01:26:14,253 --> 01:26:17,652 Speaker 2: when they have kids, the dog stays up, stays right 1844 01:26:17,692 --> 01:26:19,973 Speaker 2: up there in the importance rankings. Yeah, I mean that 1845 01:26:19,973 --> 01:26:24,932 Speaker 2: definitely happens with fish. Someone has fish in a tank. 1846 01:26:25,492 --> 01:26:27,933 Speaker 2: Once they have kids, the fish is no longer of 1847 01:26:27,973 --> 01:26:28,893 Speaker 2: any interest. 1848 01:26:28,652 --> 01:26:30,772 Speaker 3: Way down the pecking order. But what is it for dogs? 1849 01:26:30,812 --> 01:26:32,973 Speaker 3: Because they match the kid's energy and they're almost like 1850 01:26:33,013 --> 01:26:35,933 Speaker 3: a nanny. They just go outside, you run around, be crazy. 1851 01:26:36,093 --> 01:26:37,572 Speaker 3: You don't have to worry about them for a we will. 1852 01:26:37,812 --> 01:26:39,692 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when you lose the dog, it leaves 1853 01:26:39,692 --> 01:26:42,093 Speaker 2: a massive hole because they are there are a lot 1854 01:26:42,133 --> 01:26:44,333 Speaker 2: of admin, and they are in your face and they 1855 01:26:44,333 --> 01:26:48,092 Speaker 2: are looking at you lovingly. But you know, sometimes I think, 1856 01:26:48,572 --> 01:26:51,572 Speaker 2: you know, if an alien came down and looked at 1857 01:26:51,652 --> 01:26:55,492 Speaker 2: my life, would they think that who was ruling the house? 1858 01:26:55,812 --> 01:26:58,852 Speaker 2: It might be my dog Colin because he just walks around. 1859 01:26:58,973 --> 01:27:01,412 Speaker 2: He gets feared. He doesn't have to provide anything. He 1860 01:27:01,452 --> 01:27:04,892 Speaker 2: gets padded and scratched and looked after. And then we 1861 01:27:04,933 --> 01:27:07,052 Speaker 2: take him for a walk and we follow him around 1862 01:27:07,053 --> 01:27:11,012 Speaker 2: with little bag and we pick up his leavings and bags. 1863 01:27:11,213 --> 01:27:13,213 Speaker 2: I mean, if you were looking down that as an 1864 01:27:13,253 --> 01:27:15,732 Speaker 2: alien from above, you go, who is in charge here? 1865 01:27:16,093 --> 01:27:19,772 Speaker 2: Who is who is the master species? 1866 01:27:19,812 --> 01:27:19,972 Speaker 21: There? 1867 01:27:20,053 --> 01:27:23,093 Speaker 2: Is that the guy that's walking around just defecating everywhere 1868 01:27:24,013 --> 01:27:25,772 Speaker 2: and having his leavings picked up or is it the 1869 01:27:25,772 --> 01:27:29,532 Speaker 2: guy that's carrying his leavings behind.

My miniature Schnauzer stood at the 2120 01:39:35,933 --> 01:39:39,932 Speaker 18: window of my house for two weeks looking for me. Wow, 2121 01:39:40,372 --> 01:39:45,173 Speaker 18: would not move. My wife had to force it, well, 2122 01:39:45,213 --> 01:39:47,572 Speaker 18: not forced it for but had to bring him his food, 2123 01:39:47,973 --> 01:39:51,812 Speaker 18: bring him his water, carry him outside to go to 2124 01:39:51,853 --> 01:39:55,093 Speaker 18: the toilet. He would not move for two weeks. 2125 01:39:55,652 --> 01:39:55,852 Speaker 2: Wow. 2126 01:39:55,933 --> 01:40:01,013 Speaker 18: And when I came home, that dog went crazy. 2127 01:40:01,652 --> 01:40:07,253 Speaker 2: Man. That is beautiful and what it was. What's the 2128 01:40:07,253 --> 01:40:07,812 Speaker 2: dog's name? 2129 01:40:08,973 --> 01:40:09,173 Speaker 17: Oh? 2130 01:40:09,253 --> 01:40:11,652 Speaker 18: That was Oscar. Now Oscar Stanley has. 2131 01:40:12,093 --> 01:40:15,732 Speaker 12: Passed on, which makes the story even more bittersweet. But 2132 01:40:16,253 --> 01:40:20,253 Speaker 12: he passed on earlier this year, and we have adopted 2133 01:40:20,293 --> 01:40:23,812 Speaker 12: a lovely spigure Staniel to take his place. 2134 01:40:23,853 --> 01:40:27,213 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, say, I mean, you've said it, old, Thomas. 2135 01:40:27,253 --> 01:40:29,492 Speaker 3: That's you know, they get wrought into your hunt genuinely, 2136 01:40:29,532 --> 01:40:32,892 Speaker 3: dogs pets, and I feel the same, honestly.

They they are part 2138 01:40:36,893 --> 01:40:37,053 Speaker 3: of the. 2139 01:40:37,053 --> 01:40:43,133 Speaker 18: Family, absolutely so I have from my own personal experience. 2140 01:40:44,532 --> 01:40:47,333 Speaker 12: I just think dogs are part of the family. They're 2141 01:40:47,372 --> 01:40:50,812 Speaker 12: not human, but I think for many of us, they're 2142 01:40:50,853 --> 01:40:55,093 Speaker 12: just as important in our lives as our human fail. 2143 01:40:55,893 --> 01:40:58,093 Speaker 2: And I'm Thomas, if you don't mind me asking, how's 2144 01:40:58,133 --> 01:40:58,732 Speaker 2: your health now? 2145 01:41:01,093 --> 01:41:02,732 Speaker 18: All I'm still on the side of the grass. 2146 01:41:03,093 --> 01:41:03,333 Speaker 2: Yep. 2147 01:41:04,372 --> 01:41:06,652 Speaker 18: Well yeah, so okay, pretty good, pretty good? 2148 01:41:06,772 --> 01:41:08,972 Speaker 2: Okay. Well that's that's that's great to hit Thomas, And 2149 01:41:08,973 --> 01:41:12,412 Speaker 2: what a fantastic story. That actually makes me quite emotional. 2150 01:41:12,333 --> 01:41:14,732 Speaker 3: Y a little bit here and there, because if I. 2151 01:41:14,692 --> 01:41:18,092 Speaker 2: Hear when I'm picking up the dog and from from 2152 01:41:18,293 --> 01:41:21,253 Speaker 2: the you know, because we share a dog. Me and 2153 01:41:21,293 --> 01:41:23,532 Speaker 2: my my ex partner. We share the dog. We share 2154 01:41:23,572 --> 01:41:25,692 Speaker 2: the dog and the kids, and the dog always comes 2155 01:41:25,692 --> 01:41:27,932 Speaker 2: with the kids, so they always travel together. So it's 2156 01:41:27,973 --> 01:41:29,492 Speaker 2: the first thing you know that the kids are coming 2157 01:41:29,492 --> 01:41:31,452 Speaker 2: over for my week with them is that Colin comes 2158 01:41:31,452 --> 01:41:33,612 Speaker 2: to the house first, and he's up the stairs much quicker. 2159 01:41:34,572 --> 01:41:36,612 Speaker 2: But then I hear that he was he knows the 2160 01:41:36,652 --> 01:41:37,972 Speaker 2: day that he's going to my house and he will 2161 01:41:38,013 --> 01:41:42,492 Speaker 2: wait all day so expectation like by the drive waiting 2162 01:41:42,532 --> 01:41:44,333 Speaker 2: to go to come and see me. That makes me 2163 01:41:44,333 --> 01:41:44,812 Speaker 2: feel good. 2164 01:41:44,853 --> 01:41:45,333 Speaker 3: That's good. 2165 01:41:45,372 --> 01:41:47,892 Speaker 2: And then when his mum's picking him up, he gets 2166 01:41:48,213 --> 01:41:50,492 Speaker 2: he can hear the calf so far down the street 2167 01:41:50,532 --> 01:41:54,293 Speaker 2: before she arrives, and gets so incredibly excited about her arriving. 2168 01:41:54,412 --> 01:41:57,012 Speaker 2: And you know, knowing that makes you feel, It makes 2169 01:41:57,013 --> 01:41:58,852 Speaker 2: you feel, no matter what's going on in the world, 2170 01:41:58,893 --> 01:42:00,213 Speaker 2: that someone loves you. 2171 01:42:00,452 --> 01:42:04,493 Speaker 3: Yep, get a bleir Gooday, guys. 2172 01:42:05,213 --> 01:42:07,812 Speaker 21: So the story I'm going to share is going to 2173 01:42:08,093 --> 01:42:10,173 Speaker 21: chance sound a bit weird to a lot of people. 2174 01:42:11,372 --> 01:42:14,372 Speaker 21: But I'm in the unfortunate position of having lost both 2175 01:42:14,372 --> 01:42:22,932 Speaker 21: a dog and a child, and there the love you 2176 01:42:22,973 --> 01:42:27,372 Speaker 21: have for your child is equal to the love you 2177 01:42:27,412 --> 01:42:31,572 Speaker 21: have for your dog and vice versa. The difference, it's 2178 01:42:31,612 --> 01:42:34,812 Speaker 21: going to sound weird, and you know, so I hope 2179 01:42:34,853 --> 01:42:39,412 Speaker 21: people don't hate on me. But when we lost our 2180 01:42:39,492 --> 01:42:47,492 Speaker 21: daughter first, and that was sudden, unexpected, no cause has 2181 01:42:47,492 --> 01:42:50,452 Speaker 21: been found, she just didn't wake up on a Sunday morning. 2182 01:42:52,372 --> 01:42:57,333 Speaker 21: And you're kind of too busy to cry, if you 2183 01:42:57,333 --> 01:43:00,053 Speaker 21: know what I mean. Yeah, because you just you just 2184 01:43:00,333 --> 01:43:04,772 Speaker 21: like totally in shock and you're in limbo for months 2185 01:43:04,812 --> 01:43:08,132 Speaker 21: on end. But when we had to make the decision 2186 01:43:08,133 --> 01:43:10,293 Speaker 21: to put the pup down, she wasn't a pup, she 2187 01:43:10,333 --> 01:43:15,293 Speaker 21: was eleven, but we called our dogs pup. She had 2188 01:43:15,333 --> 01:43:20,213 Speaker 21: the pancreatic cancer. So we made the decision to put 2189 01:43:20,213 --> 01:43:22,932 Speaker 21: her out of her misery. And that was extremely upsetting. 2190 01:43:23,013 --> 01:43:30,532 Speaker 21: And I did cry. Because I didn't cry immediately for 2191 01:43:30,812 --> 01:43:33,772 Speaker 21: my daughter doesn't mean I didn't love her any less, Yeah, 2192 01:43:34,893 --> 01:43:37,812 Speaker 21: you know what I mean. And so it was the 2193 01:43:37,853 --> 01:43:41,293 Speaker 21: fact that we with the daughter, it happened so fast, 2194 01:43:41,372 --> 01:43:45,493 Speaker 21: I didn't really have an opportunity to process it immediately. 2195 01:43:48,013 --> 01:43:52,412 Speaker 21: But you know, at that feeling that that lost and 2196 01:43:52,452 --> 01:43:56,053 Speaker 21: everything lingered for a lot longer than it did with 2197 01:43:57,532 --> 01:43:57,932 Speaker 21: the dog. 2198 01:43:58,853 --> 01:44:02,372 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know what I'm trying to say, yeah, 2199 01:44:02,492 --> 01:44:05,892 Speaker 2: and the way grief manifests is not always the same. 2200 01:44:06,532 --> 01:44:10,812 Speaker 2: Because someone doesn't cry, that has no bearing on how 2201 01:44:10,893 --> 01:44:14,692 Speaker 2: much it's ripping someone's soul to pieces at all. 2202 01:44:15,732 --> 01:44:17,692 Speaker 21: Don't get me wrong. I cried, but it was probably 2203 01:44:17,692 --> 01:44:20,852 Speaker 21: a couple of weeks later. Once, yeah, once all the 2204 01:44:20,893 --> 01:44:23,852 Speaker 21: funeral preparations have been arranged and people have been in 2205 01:44:23,893 --> 01:44:28,013 Speaker 21: and you know, offered their condolences and their sympathies, and 2206 01:44:28,013 --> 01:44:29,932 Speaker 21: you have everyone coming around, it's when they all bugger 2207 01:44:30,013 --> 01:44:32,372 Speaker 21: off again and they're left to your own thoughts. That's 2208 01:44:32,412 --> 01:44:35,053 Speaker 21: when things catch up with you. But yeah, I was 2209 01:44:35,133 --> 01:44:38,533 Speaker 21: just I was just coming at it from a different perspective. 2210 01:44:38,572 --> 01:44:42,652 Speaker 21: And we've got another dog now, and no doubt, if 2211 01:44:42,692 --> 01:44:44,452 Speaker 21: we have to go down the same path with him, 2212 01:44:44,772 --> 01:44:46,173 Speaker 21: I will feel exactly the same. 2213 01:44:46,572 --> 01:44:50,692 Speaker 2: And Blair having that dog, you know, when you're going 2214 01:44:50,732 --> 01:44:55,612 Speaker 2: through a grieving situation, and even though obviously it's very 2215 01:44:55,692 --> 01:44:58,653 Speaker 2: hard to deal with it and any kind of consolation 2216 01:44:59,372 --> 01:45:03,173 Speaker 2: is hard to come by, but having a dog and 2217 01:45:03,173 --> 01:45:05,492 Speaker 2: the love of a dog in a situation like that 2218 01:45:05,692 --> 01:45:08,253 Speaker 2: is important, isn't it. 2219 01:45:09,333 --> 01:45:13,372 Speaker 21: I think the difference is that you can get another dog, yeah, 2220 01:45:13,412 --> 01:45:17,093 Speaker 21: but you can't get another daughter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so 2221 01:45:17,133 --> 01:45:19,693 Speaker 21: you can get another dog and you can start unconditionally 2222 01:45:19,692 --> 01:45:22,412 Speaker 21: loving that, Yes, and it kind of feels a void 2223 01:45:22,452 --> 01:45:25,492 Speaker 21: that the other dog left behind, but you obviously can't 2224 01:45:25,532 --> 01:45:25,812 Speaker 21: do that. 2225 01:45:25,812 --> 01:45:26,333 Speaker 4: With a daughter. 2226 01:45:26,732 --> 01:45:28,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred cent, And thank you so much for 2227 01:45:28,812 --> 01:45:33,412 Speaker 2: sharing your story with a left that's heartbreaking. And I 2228 01:45:33,412 --> 01:45:36,052 Speaker 2: guess you would go back to this animal psychologist, Mark 2229 01:45:36,173 --> 01:45:39,333 Speaker 2: Vetti with a story like that, and it kind of 2230 01:45:40,253 --> 01:45:43,532 Speaker 2: makes it ridiculous what he's saying. Yeah, because you can 2231 01:45:43,652 --> 01:45:45,532 Speaker 2: really really love your dog, but when you put it 2232 01:45:45,612 --> 01:45:49,092 Speaker 2: like that one on one, it's it is a totally 2233 01:45:49,133 --> 01:45:50,212 Speaker 2: different thing here. 2234 01:45:50,612 --> 01:45:54,372 Speaker 3: And you know Blair was in that awful but unique 2235 01:45:54,412 --> 01:45:58,972 Speaker 3: situation and I can't comprehend that. Yeah, really, it really 2236 01:45:58,973 --> 01:46:00,772 Speaker 3: puts it into perspective, that's for sure. Oh eight one 2237 01:46:00,812 --> 01:46:02,572 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call 2238 01:46:03,133 --> 01:46:07,093 Speaker 3: back with more of your phone calls.

I think 2247 01:46:32,412 --> 01:46:35,772 Speaker 2: we've probably, especially with Blair's call, you definitely call into 2248 01:46:35,893 --> 01:46:38,812 Speaker 2: question the idea that we can.

When you put it like that, 2253 01:46:51,053 --> 01:46:55,333 Speaker 2: then it does. It does definitely make your question what 2254 01:46:55,372 --> 01:46:57,652 Speaker 2: he's saying there. But there's no doubt that we love 2255 01:46:57,692 --> 01:46:58,173 Speaker 2: our dogs. 2256 01:46:58,253 --> 01:47:01,972 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Hey you agree, Hey. 2257 01:47:01,812 --> 01:47:05,372 Speaker 20: Guys, And they are two pretty tough calls to follow 2258 01:47:05,452 --> 01:47:10,173 Speaker 20: up with Tom and Blair, will it.

In terms of the actual beer logic 2273 01:47:59,293 --> 01:48:02,093 Speaker 2: of the situation, it does call to mind, Greg, there 2274 01:48:02,133 --> 01:48:05,452 Speaker 2: was a situation that's a horrible, horrible situation happened.

He a happy story here. 2298 01:49:24,173 --> 01:49:28,012 Speaker 23: I was a businessman for a while and my sister 2299 01:49:28,053 --> 01:49:30,492 Speaker 23: brought me a little dog because she felt that I 2300 01:49:30,532 --> 01:49:33,732 Speaker 23: had everything and bosically he was crossed between the foxy 2301 01:49:33,933 --> 01:49:37,492 Speaker 23: and a two hour Not sure how it happened, but 2302 01:49:37,532 --> 01:49:40,772 Speaker 23: it did, and she called yuppie. Well, he became my 2303 01:49:40,933 --> 01:49:44,652 Speaker 23: constant mate, and he always used to walk or run 2304 01:49:45,572 --> 01:49:48,013 Speaker 23: a couple of meters in front of me, so I 2305 01:49:48,053 --> 01:49:50,452 Speaker 23: could never sneak up on anybody because don't see the 2306 01:49:50,532 --> 01:49:54,612 Speaker 23: dog put and I'd say, there comes this tent. However, 2307 01:49:55,213 --> 01:49:57,213 Speaker 23: I had cause to spend quite a bit of time 2308 01:49:57,253 --> 01:50:01,933 Speaker 23: going into our local bank, and I would go in 2309 01:50:02,013 --> 01:50:06,053 Speaker 23: with the dogs, and the bank recexist when we had 2310 01:50:06,053 --> 01:50:09,173 Speaker 23: them in those days, would have a couple of little 2311 01:50:09,253 --> 01:50:13,412 Speaker 23: those pet chocolate on the buttons, which he went straight 2312 01:50:13,452 --> 01:50:17,372 Speaker 23: to and had a feet of And there was a 2313 01:50:17,372 --> 01:50:20,412 Speaker 23: set of stairs that went straight up to the bank 2314 01:50:20,452 --> 01:50:25,892 Speaker 23: manager's office. Now if I had an appointment. There were 2315 01:50:25,933 --> 01:50:28,892 Speaker 23: times when I'd still be busy at the teller and 2316 01:50:29,173 --> 01:50:32,452 Speaker 23: Yuppy would wait at the bottom of the stairs, and 2317 01:50:32,772 --> 01:50:36,173 Speaker 23: the bank manager would say, come on up, Yuppy talking 2318 01:50:36,213 --> 01:50:38,173 Speaker 23: to the dog, and the dog would go up the 2319 01:50:38,173 --> 01:50:41,013 Speaker 23: stairs and wait up in the boardroom until I got 2320 01:50:41,093 --> 01:50:46,412 Speaker 23: up there. He was everybody that they loved them. Now, 2321 01:50:46,532 --> 01:50:52,012 Speaker 23: just to finish the story of unfortunately the marriage didn't 2322 01:50:52,053 --> 01:50:55,253 Speaker 23: work out that well, and we managed to sort out 2323 01:50:55,372 --> 01:51:01,092 Speaker 23: all our business affairs, our boy, our cars, et cetera, 2324 01:51:01,213 --> 01:51:04,173 Speaker 23: the whole lot. The only thing that we couldn't settle 2325 01:51:04,213 --> 01:51:07,732 Speaker 23: on was custody of the dog, of which in the 2326 01:51:07,893 --> 01:51:10,452 Speaker 23: end we were to a family court, which was a 2327 01:51:10,452 --> 01:51:13,533 Speaker 23: bit of a joke at first, and we've got awarded 2328 01:51:14,013 --> 01:51:19,572 Speaker 23: fifty percent the dog. I could do not. 2329 01:51:21,572 --> 01:51:22,492 Speaker 17: He was a great dog. 2330 01:51:22,612 --> 01:51:27,293 Speaker 23: He lived w he was about eighteen, and yeah, he 2331 01:51:27,412 --> 01:51:31,293 Speaker 23: certainly wasn't great companion. I've had dogs since done nothing 2332 01:51:31,452 --> 01:51:31,772 Speaker 23: like them. 2333 01:51:32,293 --> 01:51:35,292 Speaker 2: Well, blessed Yuppie. What great what a great story. Yeah, 2334 01:51:35,013 --> 01:51:39,572 Speaker 2: when the situation we've got a fifty percent custody of 2335 01:51:39,612 --> 01:51:41,253 Speaker 2: the of the dog. As I say, before the dog 2336 01:51:41,293 --> 01:51:43,053 Speaker 2: goes with the kids, the dog is always, And that 2337 01:51:43,173 --> 01:51:45,133 Speaker 2: was an interesting thing that I was talking to my 2338 01:51:45,213 --> 01:51:46,812 Speaker 2: kids the other day and they were they're always with 2339 01:51:46,853 --> 01:51:49,293 Speaker 2: the dog, so they're never not with the dog. 2340 01:51:49,692 --> 01:51:51,973 Speaker 3: So they are effectively like siblings and the regard up. 2341 01:51:52,452 --> 01:51:54,572 Speaker 3: They always go to get they're always with Colin here. Yeah, 2342 01:51:54,612 --> 01:51:57,133 Speaker 3: I imagine that's pretty common though these days. If there 2343 01:51:57,213 --> 01:52:00,053 Speaker 3: is a breakup or a separation and there's a pet, 2344 01:52:00,213 --> 01:52:04,173 Speaker 3: a dog involved that you both you know raised that 2345 01:52:04,213 --> 01:52:06,892 Speaker 3: the dog becomes fifty to fifty.
