1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation the matter of arms for the

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: pub Test and today we're talking about banning words like

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: boomer and millennial. Does this pass the pub Test?

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Age biased language? It's called And this week the West

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: Australian Government has launched a Challenge Your Bias campaign saying

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: that words like boomer and millennial have connotations that are

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: no longer appropriate. Ageism is the last ism that we

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: seem to be living with, and as I get older,

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm very aware of it. It's very easy to be

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: dismissed because you're older, but millennials must feel it too,

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: dismissed because they're young and inexperienced and all the connotations

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: of flakiness that goes with that, which isn't true. But

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: it's an easy joke to make same about boomers.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: And now it's good banter as well. Had a Ryan

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: and you enjoyed working those hard hours nine till eleven

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: is hard work? Like do you need to take a day?

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: But that's why we're doing this, Brandon.

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: That you're not taking a day.

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: You're not listening tonight, that it's not about This is

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: how we knock those stereotypes on the head by stuff

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: with language. This is how we've conquered the other ones.

22
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Start with being aware of your language and the bias

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: in your language. I'm aware that that it's very easy

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: to be dismissed as someone who as boomer. The word

25
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: says you can't learn new tricks. You too are More

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: and more people are just staying in the workforce, and

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 2: I find it very irritating to have those words used.

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: How do you feel banning words like boomer or millennial?

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: Does it past the pub test?

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do take exception to it because I've been

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: victim of ages and trying to get jobs for young managers.

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: What else fucks like me? So yeah, let's get rid

33
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 3: of the words as it would start maybe changing. It's

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: all up to interpretation, and I think we are all

35
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: getting very control and what shared and what not shared.

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: I never thought of it like that. I thought it

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: was just an age.

38
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: Now with it, I sure does, mate. I love the

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: word boomer because it sums up the generations that are

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: basically stucking the life out of all the younger generation. Financially,

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: they destroyed our environment and now they want more, and

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: the younger generations are standing up and naming it for

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: what it is.

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, father, I say they should do away with bloomers

45
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: and all that type of thing. I was born in

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty nine and I do not class myself as

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: a baby boomer. They don't see me.

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: As an old dude. I just is still alive.

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: We're going to do away with it.

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: Look, I think we're in the OS generation.

51
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: Ever since it is can't call someone men or woman,

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: can't call someone husband and wife.

53
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 4: People need to get over it.

54
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: Jeez, it passed the pup test.

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: What next.

56
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: You can't call a banana a banana, an apple or apple?

57
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: It doesn't. Yeah, get rid of agism. You're never too

58
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: old and.

59
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: We can contribute to society. We have a lot to ours.

60
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: Never too old to rocking roll.

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Never too old to rock and roll.

62
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: Just call everything fruit, thank you for my shoulders or something.

63
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: Don't be friends.
