1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Almost a quarter of gen Z adults would rather pay

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: a professional to change a light bulb than do it

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: themselves because I worried that the light bulb is too hot.

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Actually data and this is out of the United Kingdom,

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: so maybe they're the softies. Records the gen z Is

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: can fork out up to two thousand, eight hundred New

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Zealand dollars a year for professionals to do their household

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: tasks because they just don't do it and resident build it.

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: And host of our show on Sunday's, Pete wolf Camp

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: joins you, now, how.

11
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: Pete Greasy, thanks tipping you years here.

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: This is pretty amazing, is it true? Can gen Z

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: do nothing?

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: Well? I saw this the article as well, and I

15
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: saw something else the other Only forty of them forty

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: percent could identify what a screwdriver looks like. So we're

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: off to a flying start there. Hey, look, part of

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: me goes, you know what, as a professional, and like

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: all of my colleagues looking for work, will take your money, right,

20
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: So if you want to pay us to do it,

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: that's awesome. But at the same time, we do want

22
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: to encourage a little bit of self reliance. So things

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: like in this article unblocking a sink. I'm not so

24
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: sure about the refreshing tile grout. Heaven go up fixing

25
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: ely sure, a little bit of repair to a wall

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: before painting. I laughed my head off it with the

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: suggestion that you should loosen a sticking door by rubbing

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: it down with sandpaper, you'll be there for days. Rewiring

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: a plug, I think stay away from that, to be fair.

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: True, true, I agree. Can I come to your question, Peter,

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 1: did you install your Did you install your own internet

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: because you're dropping out every now and a little bit

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: every now and then, or did you get a professional

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: to do it? No?

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: No, no, Actually, you know what, I actually kind of

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: did do it myself.

37
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: That's a lot there.

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: Oh and there he's got a long story.

39
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: That's riefly again the screwdriver thing, you're quite right. Thirty

40
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: percent of those suit they could not even identify as screwdriver,

41
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: which means probably they couldn't even identify as screw And

42
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: what I thought when I read that is that the

43
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: first time I had a screwdriver is when my dad

44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: gave me one. First time I had a screwdrivers and

45
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Dad said, screw this in, boy, and it was great fun. Say,

46
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: with a hammer. Yes, when I was at intermediate school

47
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: we did manual training. Does that exist anymore? It doesn't,

48
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: does it?

49
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: Across the board? So again probably you and I are

50
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: a similar vintage. So when I went to school, there

51
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: was you know, woodwork classes, middle work classes, that sort

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 2: of thing, and everybody did it. It wasn't an elected

53
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: subject as such. And you're right, if you go to

54
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: people's houses these days, you might not find that there

55
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: is the variety of tools that there might have been

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: in the garage that you know. I grew up and

57
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: let's say all our family did. And then I had

58
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: another thing today too. I went out and did I

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: had to mount a bracket onto a block wall. And

60
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: I used a rotary hammer, drill and a vacuum and

61
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: a socket set and some drill bits and a jack

62
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: and a corking done and some timber and a sleepgehammer.

63
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: And I thought, okay, if you don't have those things,

64
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: how are you going to do those jobs? So less

65
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: people with tools, and possibly that's driving it as well.

66
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: All right. Pee Wolf Camp of course is on Sunday

67
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: morning doing the Breakfast Show. What a great show it

68
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: is as well, And if anybody can go and fix

69
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: his Internet because he put it in himself. That would

70
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: be really good, and then he won't fall out every

71
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: now and then.
