Speaker 3 (00:23):
They've they've done some research from the University College London
and they found that women in their early thirties earn
nine percent less an hour on average than men of
the same age in the same types of jobs with
a similar education level.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Okay, cool, but love a but.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
And it's a big one.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Early signs of pay gaps between the sexes may emerge
in primary school.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Has found primary school no one's work.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
No listen.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Boys overestimate their abilities and they demand bigger bonuses than girls,
So bigger reward for the same job that they might
be doing.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
In primary school. Yeah, so they demand like a bigger
chocolate bar if they finished the homework. Okay, girls saying
I'll have fun size yes, But the boy is demanding
the family size bar.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
And the boys get it because they're so delusional that
they believe that they deserve it.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
God, it's good, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (01:28):
And you know what else? The girls are always also battling,
like I've got to have the small one because I'm
a waiste.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Okay, well let's not do I don't, God, every time,
you'll break. I can't every time. The new research looked
at whether the attitudes that emerge in childhood might have
help explain the gap. Psychologists carried out a series of
experiments and they were aged with the kids between six
and nine, and they found that one test involved younger

(01:56):
participants playing a game which they had to recognize images
quickly on the screen no matter how how well they done,
and they were told that based on their performance that
they would get a reward in the form of the
pictures of animals. They were invited to negotiate how many
that they would be given. Boys had a higher opinion
of their own abilities. They also asked for high bonuses,

(02:17):
and even though they had not performed any better.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Than the girls, yes, wow, and yeah here we are boys.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
But I read that and I was like, that's so true,
because I'm so delusional that if I go into any
sort of contract negotiations, I go in and I go
I did it for us. Yeah, I said this, here's
a list.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Fulfill the list, or you even call them David demand.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yeah, I said, here's a list, fill them or I
don't show up.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, and I don't know. Oh no, I think that's
pretty good this time. But you were batting for me.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, because I just don't care. And I think that's
the pin the boy power.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
You're a coffee lover.

Speaker 3 (03:11):

didn't hit as hard as it normally does. You make
one at home, you bring it in your yetty.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, wait five thirty and sometimes you don't wait, depending.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Sometimes I don't wait. But I love my morning coffee.
It's just one of the greatest parts of the day.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
You've been doing whatever you can to sort of get
away from me for the best part of.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
How many years now, eight years? Yeah, you tried, you
went to an island.

Speaker 1 (03:41):

called chameleon coffee.

the United States. Interesting time to go there and drink coffee.
You'll get paid one hundred and nineteen thousand, six hundred
and ninety five aud health benefits per year.

what they're calling their Brew Crew. Successful applicants will travel
around the US and spread the caffeine happiness across the
country with their road brew tour.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
That's a very high salary for that job.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
What you're a social media savvy, that's what they need.
They're looking for two people. Jeez, imagine if you didn't.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Like the person you I would have to turn the
job down. You don't like coffee, I do like it.
So you like coffee. You don't like regular people coffee.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Sorry, is it American coffee? Because I've heard terrible things
about American American coffee?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yes, well, no American coffee. When they try and do
it what we do like a cal plup, Why you know,
cath lat when they do it that way, no good,
like a like a drip coffee.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
They're actually actually quite nice.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Okay. But then if you so you have to have
it black.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah, you just having black coffee all the time, and
it was way cheaper. So that's what I started doing
in the States, and they just got like they just
come around with drugs and they're like decaf. I'm like, yes, please,
and you don't get shunned for it there.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
No, you were still in regular calf then, No, I was.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I did have a couple of decafs, but it was
later in the day.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know, I do want to do that though. I
want to go to America and be poured a cup
of coffee at a diner where a woman is wearing
an aprin and she says another coffee love. She wouldn't
have that.

Speaker 3 (05:51):

of a life, a lifetime as a brew crewmember. Will
you'll be zigzagging across the country in our tricked out
sprinter van with your road partner, fellow coffee singing buddy. Together,
you'll make stops it exciting pre identified locations.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
That's a weird way to say that.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Chatting with coffee fans, handing out free bruise, and sharing
your journey on Instagram and TikTok. You can even apply
with a friend and request to be paired up together.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Don't do it with a friend. Traveling with a friend
is a bad idea. We'll travel, yeah, for work. They
gave us different rooms.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, I guess that's true. You think you and I
in a van. You'd end up trying to kill me.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, you'd end up trying to kill me.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
So we've only got.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Don't apply with a friend. Go in with a stranger.
Get to know each other, decide if you like each other.
It's all right if you hate each other, because you're
not friends already.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
The successful applicant will get free coffee on tap.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, obviously you're making me drink it for the job.
Imagine if their like you get paid one hundred and
nineteen thousand dollars, But you do have to pay for
your coffee.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
And every now and then we are bestowed the privilege
of using the company card.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh, very rare, very rare. We have a team lunch
every now and then, but out most of our team
quit last year, so now it's just you and me
and baby where's.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
But we should do that.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
We should do that, just the two of us go
out on the company.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
You're ditch.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh where's two? Yeah? Sorry, where's Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
And I'm the bully. There's been some accidental charges.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Well you accidentally, you accidentally used it for an uber
on a personal I realized it.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Was doing it. But that's fine.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
We sorted that out and I'm not allowed to do
it anymore. But I've certainly not done this. There's a
guy in Singapore and he has his own company card.
This is why they would never give us one, especially
not me. His name is Lindberg yo u WII and

(08:12):
he's twenty seven and he decided I guess a Rolex
watch is a company company expense.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I don't know if it is.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Well, you've got to wear it to work.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
To look the part.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Also Pokemon trading cards.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Oh wow, he's got taste, doesn't he different tastes. He's
a he's a young boy and a grown man all
in one.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
And they saw this sort of is middle of the road.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
iPads plural plural, Yeah, how many did he need know?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
He also used money to gamble. Sure, I guess that's
a work expen a credit.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Card, though, how do you gamble you're paying a lot
of fees to get cash out of a credit card. Well,
I guess he doesn't care.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
I don't I don't know how it works fund his holidays.
He also paid his own credit card bills with it.
Oh he got all before he was caught, and he
spent nearly a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Wow, he's going to jail.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I'm not surprised he pleaded guilty. I just how did
he get to spend that much before anyone realized, Like,
you accidentally spent like thirty dollars on the Ubero account,
and they found out the second that had happened out
the second it happened that you were pulled up. So

(09:29):
how did he manage to spend spend a million dollars
before getting caught.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
He works for a biomedical company and he has to
do a lot of things with like schmoozing people, right,
which ends up having quite big credit card bills.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh, so you schmooze them by inviting him to dinner
and gifting them a rolet.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, well he was gifting himself the things. Yeah, he
was getting away with that. In part two because he
was he was charging processing payments to the clients, so
he was billing them through the cart. So you go,
this charge is going to be built to this account

(10:14):
for this client. So it'd be like Rolex, watch this
client actually.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Paid for that.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
You know how we always see those stories that come
up on like the camera times about the APS workers
and how they've taken someone to a dinner.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
And cars they all bought.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Defat, yes, and they spent too much money. They they
wouldn't have a good time if they were getting pulled
up on their expenses like this.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Clients I think they had been.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
But they would be saying, oh, it's for the clients though.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Defat who are the clients for?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Defact the foreign affairs people who I don't need to
know this stuff. The new bill that has been filed
in Mississippi by the state senator and it is entitled
Contraception begins at direction act. Whoa mouthful it is?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Well, it depends you know what I mean? You know,
it depends. Every man is different, maybe not a mouthful.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
As written by Senator Bradford Blackman, the bill would make
it unlawful for a person to this is sorry, but
this is how it's written, so I have to say disgusting.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's early legal language.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Quote. Yes, unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material
without the intent to fertilize an embryo.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
What so wait, wait, wait, shut up, courts. So you're
in a sessh Yeah, and you've you've you've gotten the
flag up and then I said flag and then and
then if you go through.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
With it, and the intent must be to fertilize, and
if it's not.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Then you've broken some sort of law broken.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
So you can't have.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Just sessies for fun. What there are fines in and
that is.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Built on people having sessions for fun. That is what
the Internet is built.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Well that's by yourself though I suppose no, but that's
all they're watching. Yeah, and for money. There's fines involved,
which I don't know how you're gonna fine.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
How do you police this?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
The third strike would result in the loss of ten
thousand dollars from the perpetrator. Okay, So the senator also said,
and this is another quote. All across the country, especially
here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to
contraception and or abortion focus on the woman's role when
men are fifty percent of the equation. Now, that is true.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
That is true.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
But I think, like, I don't think you can police
the act. I think that men should maybe just chuck
a Condomon.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, or or like still give women's rights after the
fact if something does go awry.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, isn't that easier.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
This bill highlights the fact that the fact and brings
the man's role into the conversation. People can get up
in arms and call it absurd, but I can't say
it bothers me. I think I understand what they were
trying to do, but I think they've really missed the point,
missed all of the mark. Yep, you can't just say

(13:58):
that every time that happened it needs to be to fertilize.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Because it's happened today, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Sorry, what are you telling us about yourself? That is disgusting. Go,
I don't want to know what you do before work.
Is your business.
