Milk Crates and Turntables. A Music Discussion Podcast
A highlight from Time Travel to 1994: A Journey into the Music and Movies of that year.
"Well, here we are, episode 119. And on this episode, myself in the wrecking tube, Mark Smith and Lou Colicchio from the Music Relish Show. We'll be talking about the year 1994, in music and movies I think, it's always interesting. So sit back, relax, break out your flannel shirt, your grungy jeans, and enjoy 1994 music. It was an interesting year, so I think you'll enjoy it. More interesting than what Todd Zauchman thinks it is. He thinks it's nothing, so we'll see. The KLFB studio presents Milk Crate and Turntables, a music discussion podcast hosted by Scott McLean. Now, let's talk music, enjoy the show. Thank you, Amanda, for that wonderful introduction, as usual. Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends, and welcome to the podcast. You know the name, I'm not gonna say it. We're streaming live right now over Facebook, YouTube, Dlive, Twitch, and X, formerly known as Twitter, and I don't know how many other live platforms. Well, it's gonna be a good show tonight. It's gonna be an interesting show tonight. Yeah, 1994. As I said in the intro, my friend Todd Zauchman just absolutely sent me a text destroying the year 1994. Oh, I just looked up 1994, I don't know what you're gonna talk about, there's a few things and I don't know how you're gonna make a whole show out of it, and good luck with that, because that's how he talks. That's exactly how he talks. I'm just gonna do this, and you know, it's not gonna be a good, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's how he talks. Now, he'll deny that, and you'll never know if that's the way he talks or not. He'll just have to take my word for it. I'm Todd Zauchman, and I don't know about 1994. Well, enough about him. He'll probably be piping in pretty soon, but yeah, 1994, it's a good year. It was a good year for Mark Smith from the Music Rellers Show and Luke Colicchio from the Music Rellers Show. That's for damn sure. It was. What's up, gentlemen? It was a really good year. How you doing? I was just guessing. I figured for 94, listen, we were all younger, so it was better. It was a big year. Hey. So I have to stop right here. Dave Phillips, who's been watching the podcast from pretty much day one, Patty Yossi. Hi, Patty. Good evening. I love you. Dave Phillips, for the last couple of weeks, he's piped in at the end, and he's like, I missed it. Like something's changed. Ah, Tiffany Van Hill. That's my buddy. That's my buddy, Tiffany. She's one of the people that teaches me how to work with horses. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. And she knows what she's talking about. She's modest, but she's very good at what she does. As are all of my friends and teachers, trainers, mentors from The Herd Foundation in Delray Beach, Florida. It's a nonprofit if you're in the mood to donate today. Look them up. Herd Foundation. Give us some money. Nah, I'm not going like that. No. No, we do. We help veterans. We help veterans, and so it's a good cause. But back to Tiffany. Yep. That's my buddy. Good evening. The Herd Foundation teaches us so much. That's right. That's right. Maybe I'll do a Herd Foundation podcast. You should. Since I'm pretty good at it. You're going to have horses on? What's the horse named after the cookie? Huh? Isn't there a horse named after a cookie? What are some of the horses' names? Oh, Fig Newton. Fig Newton. Yeah. Fig Newton. That's my boy. That's my boy. Good looking horse. Yes. Yes, he is. And we have Stitch. Fig Newton is a retired dressage horse, dancing horse, right? Echoes of Echo and the Bunny Men bring on the dancing horses. We have Stitch. He's a retired racehorse. We have Miss America. She's a retired jumper. Then we have two mini horses. We have Cinnamon. She was a cot horse. You know, pulls the kids around. As would be Sammy. Sammy's the one that looks like Kaja Gugu for you people from the 80s. Looks like Lamal. It looks like Lamal from Kaja Gugu. Gotta do. And he was saved from a kill pen. Yeah. But he's a mini, but he thinks he's a Clydesdale. What do they do with horses after that? Is that the proverbial glue factory? All right. You know what? Right away. Penalty box. Oh. He's raining on my parade. I'm in a good mood. Now I'm all bummed out. Thanks. You feel sad for the drummer now. This is going to be a horrible show now. Leave it to the drummer. Right, Mark? Leave it to the drummer. Get out. It's always the drummer's fault. That's right. See, Tiffany says, that does not exist past our gates, Lou. Because nobody wants to talk. Back to the penalty box. Great start to the show. Lou is just in a mood tonight. I think he's been hitting the whistle. What's going to happen? You're going to come back and it's going to be an empty chair. He's very ornery tonight. Right away. He's very ornery. All right. He's filling his oats, as they would say. Yeah. All right. Lou's back. I'm all right. I'm all right. Okay. Enough about horses, although I could now, at this point, talk about horses for two hours. I love it. I love it. But instead, gentlemen, first of all, how's things on the music relish show? You. Take it away, Lou. Sure. It's fine. It was such an awful show. I thought I said the wrong show for a second there. It's been nothing short of amazing. Don't jump over each other to answer that question. It's always fun. Last week was fun. We got knocked down a bit by Warner Brothers because we played a clip of an America song featuring Dan Peake. Yeah. You're going to watch that. Yeah. We talked through the whole thing, but Spotify is much cooler than YouTube. YouTube sucks like that. YouTube, they have a very strong algorithm. They can kiss my rosy red ass over that. That's right. You tell them, Lou. Fuckers. That's right. Get me kicked off YouTube. That's right. Let me see. John Morris, he was our shift commander. When I met him, I was, I think, a two striper, and he was what they called a butterbot. He was a second lieutenant, I believe. He said, tell them stories from the Nipah Hut in the Philippines. That's a big no. That's a whole other podcast, but they would never make it on the air. Just leave it at that. It's like a chain of Nipah Huts? No. It was a bar slash club called the Nipah Hut. Tell one story. No. They had a giant spaceship that would come down from the top. It's kind of like George Clinton in parliament. At the end of the show, this big spaceship came down from the top. Smoke. Like you said, parliament fucking pelican. Then the thing went open, and everyone would walk up and get up on stage, all those drunk GIs. Like, yeah, I'm going in the spaceship, and you go down these stairs, and you're in a fucking basement. I don't think it was a basement. It's like something from a fucking horror movie. How do you get out? And then somebody goes, this way, this way, go, go, go, go. That's the cleanest story I can tell you. It's the cleanest story I can tell you. Sounds like fun. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun. I got a story for you off the air one of these days. So okay, music relish show's going good. Excellent. I just wanted to say, Lou brought up, he made the show. His segment on bad love songs. That will go down in history as some of the best podcasting ever. Bad love songs? Really bad love songs. The worst love songs of all time, like in rock. It's a deep vein. Is that something, is that like content I could probably like borrow with Perry Mind? Because I'd love to hear that list someday. We voted him off the board. We're no longer a false triumvirate democracy. Wait a minute. We toppled the AI monarchy. There's three of us on this one. Are you two going to overthrow me too? Are you like rebels? None of those stories you're told, no. They're wrecking too. Instead I'll start calling you the Sandinistas. The hostile takeovers. You go on podcasts just to take them over? Like Amiens took over the White House. Really, yeah. Yeah, we could do that. I would love to. Maybe next week we'll do, we'll take a break from the years and we'll do like a, kind of a jambalaya, you know, of stuff. Like throw some music news in there. We'll do some trivia. Maybe I'll come up with some questions for you guys. You could give us that deep vein of worst love songs ever. And it's funny, we noticed that several of them made everyone's list of worst love songs. So it's got to be universally bad. Okay. If everyone said that, that fucking song. Then there were a couple where I said I liked the song, but Lou and Perry were like, what? I'm always, you know, on the one side. Yeah, the one. When it falls into like that kind of metal, metal category, you have a soft spot. Air metal. Metal ballads. Oh my God. How I grew up. Yeah, yeah. As young as Ron Mark, you didn't have to deal with those 70s ones. Yeah, that's true. I did. This fucking guy. Blah. See what I mean? He's setting the bar high. Remember, this is how he talks. I don't think there's anything good about 1994. Blah. So he talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah, well, an American Arnold Schwarzenegger. He talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger without the accent. We're going to pass the bar on this one. I am here. Let me see if you can entertain me. 1994. Blah. All right. So let's actually get right into 1994. Yeah. So we'll start on January 19th, 1994. Bryan Adams becomes the first major Western music star to perform in Vietnam since the end of the Vietnam War. Oh, shit. Bryan Adams. Bryan Adams, yeah. Wow. On January 21st to February, as it's spelled, the Big Day Out Festival takes place, again, expanding from those previous years. Blah, blah, blah. Auckland, New Zealand. The festival is headlined by Soundgarden, Ramones, and Bjork. Nice. That's an interesting... Probably each night there were headlines. I would love to see Bjork. Me too. I would never want to see the Ramones. They'll never get back together again. Unless they perform in the Pet Sematary. Yeah. Hey, Lou, can you put him in the green room? No, I'd like that one. That's a good one. Come on, there's a little crossover. Put him in the green room. Put him in the green room. Okay, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's going to be a long show. It's going to be a long one tonight. I feel better about myself now. Got a little redemption? The redemption song? Yes. I got a Buffett story for you. Oh, yeah? His one song was The Pirate Looks at 40. He would segue into Bob Marley's redemption song. Oh, jeez. And it didn't quite... Wait a minute. Buddy, that is the quickest way to get to the penalty box. I'm not playing it, though. I know you're not. You're poking the rhino right now. I'm a guitarist. You're poking the rhino right now. You're not a rhino, you're a nice guy. Come on, we went through that last week. And so, as I've been saying each week, I'm just going to say right now, where's Jack? Okay, and we'll move on from that. Hey, Jack. Hey, Jack, please come back. He didn't listen before, so I don't think he's listening now. Let's see. January 25th, Alice in Chains released their Jar of Flies album, which makes its U .S. chart debut at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first ever EP to do that. Right? But they still are always talked about as like number three or number four out of the big four. Big four being? Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden. And Alice in Chains. Alice in Chains is never getting that kind of... Whereas... That first album, the record company made them sound like another band. Yeah. And that's not their fault. They were produced that way. Dirt was a great album. Yes, yes. And Layne Staley was one of the greatest frontmen ever. Just as cool as the other side of the pillow, as they say. Yeah. voice Very unique also. Today we were talking about what we were going to talk about in the show. And he goes, when I saw the videos, he goes, I didn't match his face with the way he looked. Right? He said he was expecting like a grungy, more... No, he was slick. He was slick. In the Man in the Box video, he's got the kind of long... But then he changed it up. He slicked the hair back, he wore the shades, you know. Just turned into a... Suzanne McPhail. Another one of my horse people. She's the one that introduced me to that whole thing. And she said, who's Jack? That's right, I guess. At this point. On January 29th, The Supremes' Mary Wilson is injured when her Jeep hits a freeway median and flips over just outside of LA. Wilson's 14 -year -old son is killed in the accident. What a good day. Ah, this fucking... I saw this and I was like... Dead horses was a bummer. I know, I know. I saw this and I'm like, there's no way around this. February 1st, Green Day releases their breakthrough album, Dookie. Ushering in the mid -1990s punk revival. Dookie eventually achieves diamond certification. Now, I did like them back then. I actually did. I was stationed in Southern California in Riverside. And I decided to get like a side job. You know, I was in the Air Force. But I was like, I want to make a little more money. I want to do something. So I got a job at a record store. Cool. Was it Spencer's or something? Forget the name of it. Oh, Spencer's. They sold all the trinkets, too. No, no, it wasn't Spencer's then. It was something like that. It was a chain. Hot topic. They sold DVDs, too. FYE. No, it wasn't that. I'll remember it. I was working there when Dookie came out and the fucking whole wall was covered with Dookie CDs and they were flying off the shelves. It had a pretty fresh sound. It was fresh then. And coming off the 80s were kind of slick in a lot of ways, except for some of the real heavy alternative. But to hear a song like that on the radio, that was like hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit on mainstream rock radio. Good drummer, too. As a band, whether you like him or not, I think he's really good. Billy Joe Armstrong. Oh, Trey Cool. Trey Cool, yeah. February 7th, Blind Melons lead singer is Shannon Poon forced to leave the American Music Awards ceremony because he is loud and disruptive behavior. Poon is later charged with battery assault, resisting arrest, and destroying a police station telephone. Now, this is the dude that sang, you know, And I don't really care if I sleep all day And he's in the daisy field, so you think he's like this really, like, chill dude. And like, you know, me and the B -girl, man, you know. The B -girl, yes. And the tap -dancing B -girl, and like, I'm just this dude's a fucking lunatic. He was taking substances that made him. Oh, yeah. That was a short career. Was it him that did a duet with Guns N' Roses? What was the video, a song from Guns N' Roses with a video where they're up on like a water tower and they jump into the water or something. I forget what it was called. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they did it with him.

My guest today is Raj Mahambar. Raj is the co -founder and CEO at Zebu, a new product that brings a blockchain -based settlement platform to the telecom carrier space. Very interesting. Welcome to the show, Raj. Hey Andy, thanks for having me and thank you to everyone that's listening. Yeah, it's a pleasure to have you here, Raj. Let's do what we do at the beginning of the show. I will invite you to please introduce yourself. I'd like to hear a little bit about your background and your story and what you've been doing in the lead up to co -founding Zebu. Yeah, sure. Absolutely, Andy. So the beginning of my career really started more finance -focused, right? I worked as a principal at a venture fund where they also had a telco arm. And while I was doing my work, I all delved into blockchain quite a bit. And I also delved into the telco operations where I noticed that one of the biggest problems the telco industry had was settlements, right? Hence, I formulated the plan for Zebu and tried to streamline those as much as possible. Awesome. So tell us a little bit more about the background here then. So you mentioned that the settlement is a problem in the telecom space. So forgive me, Raj, I'm not super familiar with the telecom space. I hope to learn a little bit today. I'm sure the listeners can learn something as well. So yeah, I mean, just explain, I guess, the problem that you're trying to solve. Let me start by differentiating between retail operators and wholesale voice and SMS carriers. So where are you based, Andy? I'm in Auckland, New Zealand. Okay. And who's your cell phone provider? I believe it is, I think it's SPARC New Zealand. Okay, so they would be your retail operator, right? Yeah. That's the customer facing bit in the telco space. So let's say you make an international call or send a text from Auckland. Your provider, you make that call or SMS over to the US, let's say. Your provider wouldn't be directly interconnected with Verizon. They will need to be interconnected with a wholesale voice or SMS carrier. And then that carrier will route that voice or SMS, that call or SMS through one or two more carriers over to Verizon that are directly interconnected with Verizon. So essentially, the point is, there's two types of companies, there's tier one retail facing operators, and then there's tier two and tier three wholesale voice and carriers, right? So the product we've created at Zebu is more focused towards the tier two and tier three companies. And similar the arms that tier one companies have, right? Because these carriers, as I mentioned, they route these calls and messages through multiple other carriers to terminate those at the end destination. So these are global transactions, right? And the global wires take anywhere up to 96 hours in immersed markets, and even 16 days to a month in unimmersed markets. Now, that is because number one, the industry primarily runs on the dollar and the euro. And many of these companies, they need to take central bank authorization to do the forks conversions, right? And that's only if they even have it available. If you think about some of the African regions, they don't have access to the US dollar, right? So at Zebu, we've taken this 96 hours to 16 day period and minimized it down to 30 seconds to 10 minutes max on the platform for value transfer. Well, yeah, look, I'm actually just looking through your white paper now, Raj. And so in the white paper, you guys say that the telecom wholesale voice industry is obviously critical for global telecommunications, acting as a backbone that facilitates the exchange of voice data and messaging services between carriers and operators. However, the industry is plagued by several challenges, including inefficient processes, long remittance delays, lack of transparency, revenue loss due to currency exchange and high costs. And all of these challenges lead to revenue loss for industry players. And I think you've just kind of explained that. But yeah, good to see it explained nicely in your white paper as well. So this is I mean, yeah, it's a big, big task to take on the global telecom industry there, Raj. Yeah, yeah, absolutely right. I mean, so as you mentioned, the forex costs, the wire transfer costs, these are also recurring charges that these carriers face. And on top of that, this is a low margin business. So being able to roll volume of transactions is how they can generate proper beta, right? So the idea behind Zebu is that, first of all, they don't have the liquidity crunch anymore. And also by limiting on -ramp and off -ramp and being able to keep their running balance and stablecoin on the platform, the carriers will be able to do trends as needed basis without having to worry about constant charges, such as making charges and forex conversions. Right. So the idea is that Zebu will provide a kind of like a transparent, decentralized ecosystem for voice traffic exchange and an ecosystem for buyers and sellers to exchange voice traffic directly, right? Essentially, right. So let's say I am a carrier and you are as well. I am rendering my services over to you. We can have our own commercial arrangement that is off of the platform, which is already set. And now let's say we both go to the Zebu platform. Each one of us do the KYB, get onboarded, everything. And it's really as simple as, let's say, if I rendered you $100 ,000 worth of services, I generate an invoice, upload it onto the Zebu platform. I input your customer ID. It shows up on your interface. And with a one -click interaction, you can pull down $100 ,000 from your bank account, crypto wallet, credit card, debit card, comes to the platform. And as you initiate the transaction to send over to me, it instantaneously gets swapped for the Zebu token. And that value is transferred over to me. Now it's up to me if I keep my funds in the Zebu token, if I ask for an instant swap to Stablecoin, or if I want to move the value directly over to my bank account in fiat, which as of now still takes one to two days, but we are actively pursuing a digital banking license, so we can actually streamline fiat on -ramp and off -ramp for all of our customers as well. Okay, got it, got it. So explain then, I guess I'm looking at the Zebu technology stack, all seems to make sense. And there's a token, of course. So just explain to me, Raj, who is the target audience for Zebu? Let's start there. The target audience as of now is telecom carriers, right? They are going to be our primary users for Zebu token's utility. But in our phase three planning, we are actually currently working out a product that's going to be B2C. So those retail operators I mentioned will be able to do settlements with their end customers, which is people such as me and you for their phone bills using Zebu token. Right, right. So tell us about the Zebu token then. Has that been launched or is that yet to launch? It has been launched, actually. We got listed on Lbank about a week and a half ago. I saw that on your Twitter earlier today, actually. So nice, congrats for that. Thank you, thank you. And so the token itself, that will drive the ecosystem forward. I can see on your website, it says there's seven businesses have been onboarded. Soft cap and 5 million USD. Is that just because very early days and just at the beginning of the Zebu journey? Yeah, so we've actually achieved the soft cap and the hard cap. So we've raised $25 million so far, right? And going back to our customers, we are right now partnered with Bankai Group. And Bankai Group is one of the largest telecom carriers there is, right? Probably top five in the world. They do about $2 .1 billion in revenue, those are just rough numbers, but about $2 .1 billion in annual revenue, right? And they are one of our customers and through them, they're also helping us expand our user base. So as of now, we have a total waitlist of 89 customers getting ready and comfortable with the platform, finishing their KYBs. Our business partner team is actually training their treasury and accounts teams as well. And as soon as they get the go -ahead, their names will start popping up on the website as well. Fantastic. And so are you looking to work with other telecom networks around the world? And I can see you do have a list of some of those partners that you're working with already on your website. Bridgevoice, Novatel, Broadband Telecom, MGW, to name a few. Yes, correct. So those are the ones that are already doing transactions, test transactions on our platform. And along with them, like I said, there's a list of 89 more companies whose names are going to start popping up on the website soon. So how quickly do you think this will start to take off as all these other businesses come online? To be entirely honest, Andy, look, I mean, so far, we on our end, we have stayed very careful. We've gone slowly as far as the platform goes, right? Because as soon as we want everything to be as streamlined as possible, as soon as transactions start, right? So the platform is very, very robust. Technologically, we are set, but kind of these are all legacy -based players, right? They haven't tried new systems. So we want to make sure that they are comfortable and ready to go. But of speaking how fast we might be going is, we assume that by two to three weeks from now, the platform is going to start full volume at its capacity. And we are actually projecting to do about $1 .5 billion in transactions on the platform over the next 8 to 12 months. Yeah, fascinating. So yeah, lots going on then. I mean, do you think the telecoms industry is ready for this kind of technology and this kind of marketplace and a token? Yeah, absolutely. Look, I mean, so when I've walked you through that flow of transaction, right? We are actually also providing, as a customer acquisition cost, we are also providing 3 .5 % of each settlement value back to the users of the platform. So we have a criteria for that on what percentage you would get. But let's say you sent me $100 ,000 on the platform. Each one of us gets 3 ,500 equivalent of Zebu tokens on each transaction. Now, not every one of them will get 3 .5%, but we have specific criteria on that. But since we are increasing their margins by almost 50 % through our loyalty program, and on top of that, an additional 75 % by cutting their forex and wire costs, the carriers are incredibly intrigued to get started on the platform. Our flow of user base has been the easiest part of the whole process. Wow. Yeah, that is interesting. And so what sounds like, I guess, the telecom industry is always evolving, but certainly ready for some disruption as well, right, Raj? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

"auckland" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Before flying, carrying out a survey in Auckland through June. US and European agencies also acquire periodic weight surveys. We're all kind of getting bigger and heavier and one of the things that we do from time to time is to update the numbers to make sure that everything is accurate with regards to the averages that we're using. Inaccurate weight data has led to some airlines grounding aircraft and can even result in fines. The whole idea is let's make aviation safer by making sure that the standards that we are using reflect the accurate average weight of the passengers we're carrying. I'm Ed Corey Bloomberg Radio and I'm Denise Pellegrini in the Bloomberg Newsroom. It's the economy that will be in focus as President Biden makes those campaign stops been we've telling you about today. That's a word from a Biden campaign official to Bloomberg reporters. The source is telling us word is President the is highlighting domestic achievements that have fueled economic growth, a strong jobs market and big gains for the middle class and that Biden will mostly stay away from criticism of Donald Trump following the criminal charges against former President. Strategists at Goldman Sachs warning on inflation saying inflation won't come down as quickly as the market is pricing. The strategies say energy prices and economic growth could really defy gravity for a little while longer. Carol Schleiff, CIO at BMO Family Office, says she still sees a soft landing, but some clients just aren't buying it. You know, the interesting thing is trying to coach those clients who might be overweighted in cash out of that comfy cash position. And Schleiff with us there on Bloomberg Radio.

That's after the central bank, their cut interest rates. Nomura, Standard Chartered and Morgan Stanley all say authorities may increase quotas on certain local government bonds. Other economists meantime say the central government there could introduce special purpose bonds as the real estate market there falters. Mark Mobius is founding partner of Mobius Capital Partners. He says real estate is key to economic sentiment in China and he sees an eventual recovery in the sector there. Going forward, it'll be the Chinese investors who will revive the Chinese market. Because at the end of the day, it's not foreign investors who drive the Chinese market, it's the Chinese investors and I believe they're going to be back. There's no question about that. As the property sector begins to get revived and the problems of debt is solved, then you'll see the Chinese investors come back. And Mobius commenting as household deposits and savings in China falter. And some details coming in about a possible deal to buy the subway chain. Sources telling us those interested in the Milford Connecticut based sandwich chain are eyeing something called whole business securitization to fund a possible buyout. requires That a company to effectively mortgage all of its assets at something that can allow high risk borrowers to raise debt more cheaply for a deal. And the sources say this asset backed financing for what would likely be subways domestic assets could provide as much as three billion dollars to help pay for the acquisition and another two billion dollars or so could come from traditional bonds and loans. JP Morgan meantime has offered to provide five billion dollars in bridge financing to interested buyers. About a half dozen potential buyers are in the running here and an auction could value value the company at nine billion dollars. It's expected to wrap up next month.

The airline said that after terminal one at JFK airport closed due to an electrical fire, the flight was forced to divert back to Auckland after it had flown two thirds of the way across the Pacific. When I saw this, I thought, well, couldn't they land? I don't know, Baltimore. Austin so that's true. Anywhere. An airline spokeswoman explained quote, diverting to another U.S. port would have meant the aircraft would remain on the ground for several days, impacting a number of other scheduled services and customers.

Sky stadium here in the capital. And the first time in 13 years that Wellington have won the one shield. The shield ran fairly shield. We need to say anything more, but I was actually at the last time we won it in 2009. September 20th, I think it was off the top of my head 20 7 zero. We thrashed those swines from Auckland. And it's been a long time between drinks. It is actually if you're Wellington fan. I remember coming here and we won the NPC, I think the second year that I was sitting full year I was here. I thought this is going to be brilliant. And then 14 years later we won another one. And I think it's 22 years now and counting. But anyway, there's a share on the Chicago cops here. Unfortunately, I happen to support as well. They didn't win, I think it was something like a hundred and 8 years or something between winning the World Series. And they had a T-shirt saying any team can have a bad century. I quite like that. Relate to that. So here we are. In ren fairly shield country. So if anyone wants written up and talk about that.

But maybe your husband, brother, mother, whoever may have been into it, there may have been a moment where they got up in the middle of the night and the whole house went crazy and you didn't even really know what was going on. And so later when they explained it all to you, those moments and for me, sport is quite unique. If you're into it, if you're into it and I'll put that out there. That it can actually really elevate the endorphin level. Serotonin, whatever you want, whatever you want to inject in your system. It can really do that. And the great thing about it is that you can think back 30 years, 40 years. And still get that same little bit of a tingle, the same thing that, oh yeah, that was a great one. So you get another injection of the endorphins. So it's like a gift that keeps on giving. And I was just wondering

Stop. No, no, we are going. No further on that line of questioning. And so if you look at it, this is the prime minister of New Zealand. Jacinda Arden, she basically says here that according to the light system that orgies up to 25 people are perfectly acceptable as a part of new COVID rules. And so maybe like behind the times, I hope I am, 'cause that would actually be exactly where I want to be because the times are awful right now. Are like a couple dozen Tinder orgies, something that happens at a regular basis in Auckland, New Zealand. I guess that would be the capital of sexual anarchy. So I'm going to read the story. You just send a Arden announce the easing of COVID-19 restrictions known as the traffic light system and she explained I can confirm that tender liaisons have reopened. It's a given up to 25 people actually in a red area. So to clarify, even in a red zone, where COVID measures are very restricting, orgies of up to 25 people appear to be legal.

What is your take on what is likely to be the rate perhaps this time next year and do you think people are missing something Well we perhaps are too optimistic but we have been in the camps that we expect it should settle out in the two to 3% range by the end of 2022 It doesn't mean it's going to be comfortable while we're getting there The backlogs that we've experienced the labor shortages we think the labor shortages are going to be and certainly the backlogs and supply chain disruptions Of course the variable here is the new COVID variant Because even though the cases aren't as severe we know that there are disruptions and as you are listening to the news they were talking about restrictions and disruptions And so it definitely could put a damper on things as we move into Q one So is that what you're getting when you look at the yield curve ten year treasury in yield terms at one 44 if you go back and look at the shorter end of two year at about .65% so 65 basis points were pretty

Emerald system takes electricity from the grid mains electricity and we convert that into an electromagnetic beam using a transmitting antenna, so that will generate a beam highly column mated. Very directional point point being which, in this particular system that we've got here indoors. Transmits a distance of 36 M. Down to the receiver. Receiving antenna is very similar to the transmitting one. It's two M by two m in size and control. The nature of the beam.

But what people don't really understand. Is that really to make them sound proper. Natural not robotic and not kind of boring and making you switch off with through. It does require a little bit of you. Know attention requires shaping and moulding is that is that where you see linguists really helping our as far as the snl. Monaco been making things. Sound mall human definitely like like probably for maybe the beginning choosing the voice actually. It's also nice to help To know about the phonetics of voice and the a voice can can foreign by and So that you can really help Explaining why certain some good or Might not be the right fit for. Maybe you're brand custom assistant but also as you said for lulu as l. tuning meaning and so on ready to help haven't earphones and to Now want paul's those can actually do in terms of emphasis and all these Now trend mechanics actually Which are in a voice and the voice paramedics s. I mean that's that's the end part of it. And he can do so many mistakes and so many wrong things at the beginning when you start developing the essence start thinking about how should this t t a sound and whereas the defensive record him on oh and how won't get changed the whole deal in that that's another erkki. Just do without them and if that goes wrong the best estimate on help you to find unit to have occurs matic voice in the end in. Go one step. I suppose before as well and making sure that you've actually you've got the right words in the first place in the right order. So we're getting talkin about covers my voice assistance. We're gonna question from malcolm auckland moment while we're on the concept of voices and you know t t s and all that kind of stuff that you You announced a partnership with vocal ide- relatively recently joined. Tell us a little bit. More about will then tells we're thinking about how could we. Maybe we would try to fit our like persona dine that we create on linguistic character traits and so on that we would actually like most of the cases to also have the voice which exit to that. So i think it's good to Also partner or To communicate with each eds providers Right at the start so that you don't come into project and you have already selected boys and then you then you do the persona. The is i smarts to Yeah start at the beginning and work together where working at the moment is usually have two models. One is very general like it says everything perfectly and house perfect pronunciations and has all the words so it can sound nice but most of the time it's very without a character without charismatic without everything because it's not recorded that way then afterwards he pulled on top the voice like like how should it sound and sounding is not the same as emotions and things like that and we thought and still believing that is historic data at the beginning And to should start at the beginning to have a Voice and that's why we got in contact with them and then start thinking about. How could we developed the first grade a mental models for this voice before even going into how voice sound so. We wanna give it emotions. I was Interest in what are you finding from the work that you do in. We'll we'll get into the the supposed to relate to charisma. It is really commitment. But it's more broader than that. I i would would agree. But i would. I would put charisma as kind of a personality. Trait could be one of many kind of traits. If you like but the concept of having a persona and overarching persona on a brand voice is something that you know some companies have. It's what we talk about quite a lot. You know but the doesn't seem to be a tremendous lord of examples of things. I cost him. Brian voices in in the conversation is based on lord. It's getting there but what you see in from the work. They are doomed. The clients that you're doing. What's the appetite for those those custom voices and costumed personas and things. That is that like a monday thing that you always do or is it something that you kind of need to spend a bit more time selling en and all kinds of stuff well again quite fast. As a matter of fact the courses will once you explained to them that this is. I mean this is the person speaking to your customers in the end was you'll worry so. The persona design is not only the part fall forward voicing auditor that a sound or emotional voice. It's also words. it's It's it's you'll conversational partner so to to have conversation unique to people you need to persons bolsa. Dan own uses story. And if you just go for a use case and i want to fulfil you use case then it's very one sided conversation nobody stat. Even if i'm not interested in a conversation and talk to you and you come on and you bubble bobble you keep on talking. I will have a use. I have my own user story already will have in my act out this conversation. And that's how i speak. That's how i phrase my sentences replies to you and presumably design is more than just. How does voice. It's it's how does it speak. how do i react. What do i want. The i want to try and sell something as well to make that person more comfortable in this situation or Maybe educate that person on something else that i could also do in grand like i'm telling you how to screw in schools somewhere because he just went to a care and bought new bad.

"Into mania in. New Zealand. Tonight. New Zealand has shown the Labor Party, its greatest support and at least fifty years. End For that. I only had two simple words. Thank you. Well that was prime, minister? I done this she celebrating her emphatic election victory last weekend. Now the significance of the Labor Party landslide. It's not just that it's seen as a reward for her decisive response to the COVID crisis. It means New Zealand now has its first single-party government in decades. So what does the mandate main for new? Zealand's economic landscape as it faces its worst recession in nearly a century. We'll deliver a progressive transformation across the ditch. What happens if New Zealand does not sort ad its economic challenges quickly. trans-tasman cousins could I become fouled state? All of the heart, which is executive director of the new. Zealand initiative and Josie. PAGARINI is the executive director of the Council for International Development both a based in Wellington all of Josie welcome to. Radio National. Hello Tom. JC How do you account for Cinderella Dunes emphatic victory. Well, I mean you've got to say the popularity is genuine people lover. She's like a superstar she goes into to shopping malls and gets mobbed but I think you'd say you'd have to say to that that election campaign was incredibly disciplined Labor wanted a covid election. They wanted election that was about who stopped US getting sick not who's going to get us back to work and they succeeded in getting that they also wanted election that was focused not on labor, not particularly on policy, but almost entirely on just cinder. So if you the completely unscientific focus. Group in the Texas, you'd ask a taxi driver who you voting for, and let's say I'm voting for just under the all of a juicy. He reflects the Conventional Wisdom Abacha in Dorado and that her aggressive handling off covered and not to mention her response to the mass shooting of Muslims in in Christchurch earlier last year the gun control measures she put in place all that explains Justin, Dryden's remarkable political popularity. She's also received widespread global price for being a stateswoman who's kept New Zealand you nodded even in the face of multiple crises, your not fanned. Why? Well. First of all, I would agree with our choice just as remarkably popular and. This scenes from her election campaign were quite telling wherever she turned up. They were hundreds of people around her celebrating her. My experience with taxi drivers though is a bit different, maybe different taxi companies are us. Last The last few times I had known taxi drivers They complained that their businesses stoned at the city's undying out that we are not recovering properly from the crisis. That business is simply not what it used to be an typically detect Texas. Of course when I'm flying from Wellington to Auckland, and have to get to the CD and you can see the traffic in the city, the city looks kind of dead. We've got a massive challenge ahead on the economy in these eland, and that's why I haven't really seen much from the government in general plans of how to revive the economy and how to get us out of they have effectively beaten the virus now twice. But they haven't actually given us any clear indication how they're going to lift us out of this because the protections for public debts for unemployment. From monetary policy, they actually scare me when you look at them many New Zealand business figures share all of skepticism is fair Point Jersey. Yes, it is because the election really did focus on cousin who it was absolutely about who stopped US getting sick and so it was actually really hard to get any coherent debate about what is the plan B if we don't get a vaccine next year, what is the retail kind? So it was all very vague that staff and. You're right. All of you got different taxi companies to me to probably but another thing I heard in Texas a lot was all well if it's between wealth and health, I'm GonNa pick health and just send a picked health. Well, of course, you know we know that that's a false dichotomy it's not health or wealth. If you country is unable to trade and you borders closed long-term, then you're not going to raise the revenue to be able to have decent hospitals. You're not going to get your school buildings. Renovated and so on, and you're not going to be getting elective surgery and people are actually going to get unhealthy. So but it was no one wanted to hear that town that was the thing. No one wanted to hear a debate about next year they just wanted to know that. Anti Cinde was gonNA look after and that was it. Yes we'll enjoys does mentioned the vaccine just interested in like most western leaders frankly, she's pretty policy on the likelihood of a vaccine in coming months but the question here is what if a readily available vaccine if it ever happens what if it's a long way off I mean for how long all of our the present measures sustainable I mean, how long can you zeal and cut itself off from the outside world? Well I think that is actually a political question not an economic run from an economic perspective I. Think it would be desirable to New Zealand to the words more quickly but can do the safely. We can still have proper border to ensure that when we opened up to the word again, we do this without importing the virus. But I think the government sticks to the precautionary principle at the moment, and that's a political decision because the public doesn't want the government do anything outspent opinion polls before election showing that more than seventy percent of New Zealanders what actually like to keep the borders Morris close and these are people who probably don't have any immediate travel plans or maybe don't have any family abroad. Heavily business to do abroad, and so for them life is quite pleasant as long as they also keep their jobson New Zealand's, and so they would rather electric continue the status quo until that vaccine arrive. So it is difficult for the government to go against this when the public is. So strongly in favor of just keeping the border shut as they are but at some stage will just have to a because some the economic consequences of this some prolonged isolation are going to be enormous Jesse is point. Absolutely, you could not get a discussion out during the election campaign about elimination versus suppression of the virus, and so it was it was almost impossible to talk about the plan. B. If the vaccine doesn't turn up which let's face it, it's unlikely tuneup and be available next year so. Realistically the from left or the right of the political spectrum. It was really hard to talk about how long do our border stay closed, and those of us myself included who were trying to say, you know look closing the borders as a six month policy not a two year policy. He can't possibly maintain a closed border and keep trade going even though we can still export milk powder and so on. But the ability for our businesses to connect with the world and so on for us to travel is just not feasible but whenever I said that I would get attacked on twitter and everywhere for being the head of a capitalist difficult. So you could not get a good debate going about this even though the w eight show for example was saying, Hey, you know strict lockdowns and we've had very strict lockdowns for lockdowns are not the best approach if you're doing a cost benefit analysis on either health or economic growth.
