1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Think of the things that started here in La one

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: or two point seven kiss FM, right, I mean you

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: think about California, Los Angeles. Trends start here a lot

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of times. Could be in entertainment, could be in music,

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: could be in fashion. Also, if you look at the

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: amount of farming that it takes place in the state

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: of California, it's massive, right, So there's a story people

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: are talking about it. It's happening here in something California's

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: called robot farming Sisdney. What is it.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: It's a startup named Plenty actually, and it's okay right

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: here in Compton. And apparently this robot farming is a

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: new way to grow your leafy greens. So think, let

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: us spinache all that type of stuff. And apparently it's

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: some of the freshest and most flavorful lettuce out there.

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: But remember this has grown without sun, without soil or

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: even human hands ever touching it all.

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: How does it grow?

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: It's grown with robots. No, it's highly automated. It's the

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: highly automated process.

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: That robots are the light, robots are the water. Robots

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: are the grower that kind of thing.

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: So it starts with seeds, so it does start with

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: a seed, but it's then being robotically planted and then

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: moved into a giant, let's say, like eight story nursery

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: room that then Germany from the Germans from there, and

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: then the rooms are all lit by these gnarly LEDs

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: and then from there they pass each growing stage and

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: then once they pass that stage, they go to another robot,

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: and then when they pass that stage, they go to

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: another robot. So they're it's never touched by like pesticides,

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: human hands, things like that. So that's like definitely one

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: of the pros that it's efficiency, the efficiency on it.

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: It's lower cost and it's technically higher quality of lettuce.

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: But is it good for you?

35
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: Well?

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: And is this stuff, these lights, these robots that whatever

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: they're doing, the disco lights that grow it in five years,

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: is that going to cause a prop inside of me?

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Exactly?

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing if we just started it

41
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: and we don't know what happens in five years. I mean,

42
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: look at this phone. I put this phone between my

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: legs driving into work for so many years. All of

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, some guys like you'll want to do that

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: for your future?

46
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: Uh huh? And you tell me you put in your

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: pocket for god knows your pocket.

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: What damage is that doing?

49
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: Right than twenty years of that?

50
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean I go to the doctor and when I

51
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: go into a room to get an extra everybody runs

52
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: for cover, right, they go into other rooms. Put a

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: big thing on my shoulders, Like, is that going to

54
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: be what happens with that? The news we're gonna hear

55
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: about this stuff? I mean, and a lot of things

56
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: start here. I'm looking back. Lawn sprinklers began in southern California?

57
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: Is this the is this going to be the new

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: lawn sprinkler theme? Parks began here? Like, we have a

59
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: lot of things that do Actually, these are the same category. Well,

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: the Hulu hoops started here. I mean, these are things

61
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: to start here. So the Internet started here probably.

62
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense.

63
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: I think it might have. I don't know, So you're

64
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: not intrigued. I'm not, say the least. I don't. I

65
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: think as many pros as this might have equally cons

66
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm most concerned about what happens inside of me in

67
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: five years after these pink lights have grown my mind. Yeah,

68
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I want sunlight.

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: I want human hands in nature, and yeah, you want

70
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: human hands. I'm okay with the non human hands. I

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: don't need like people's hands that like who knows where

72
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: they were.

73
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: Hey, how about farmers, they need their work. Yeah, take

74
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: a job.

75
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: That is one of the cons of this. You're definitely

76
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: going to have a loss of jobs and just lots

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 2: of traditional skills.

78
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: Those hamburgers that came out and that was all about them,

79
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: those things that are not possible. And then they came

80
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: out and then they told me, well what's in it?

81
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I can't pronounce some of that stuff.

82
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Oh, the impossible burgers.

83
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's like, I don't know what it is, which

84
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: brand I'm fatty for you?

85
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: Right?

86
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it just was like, oh my gosh, it's

87
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: not meat, but it tastes great and it's all vegan,

88
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: but then what is it? Yeah, and then so I

89
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what it is, which is why

90
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should eat it, you know.

91
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: The chemicals I don't know. I mean, these this robot

92
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: phenomenon is definitely taking over. I was down the street

93
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: the other day and there's a robot delivering something. There's

94
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: just going on.

95
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Those robots are so cute now were when they cross

96
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: the street.

97
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: But I get so those robots like I have.

98
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: My heart connects with the robot things. Oh my gosh,

99
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: you're so sweet, don't cross.

100
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: I teared up watching one not be able to get

101
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: up the sidewalks.

102
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: I know because they'll remind you of those little creatures.

103
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: To help them, I don't know, I go, I go

104
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: slow and make sure they get you. Yeah, all right,

105
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: we're paying your bills next. Hang on
