6:48 发言人 4 It's got to be wife carrying.

6:49 发言人 2 Wife carrying? No, that's a sport.

6:51 发言人 5 What? Really? It is, eh?

6:54 发言人 2 You have to tell me yes or no. You have to pick which one.

6:57 发言人 5 I know wife carrying is a sport. Cheese rolling is a sport

7:01 发言人 4 Toe wrestling seems pretty on brand to be a sport Yeah

7:05 发言人 2 There's also chess boxing

7:24 发言人 2 Okay, in chess boxing This sport originated in the Netherlands, okay? Okay It's where competitors, they alternate between rounds of playing chess and boxing. So you can win by either checkmate or knockout.

7:37 发言人 5 Oh, my word. See?

7:39 发言人 2 Wife carrying, like she said, it's actually real. It's a sport from Finland. And it's just where competitors, they race through obstacle courses while carrying their wives or their partners. Oh, that's kind of sweet. And the one that I was really baffled is that toe wrestling is a thing.

7:55 发言人 4 Yeah, that makes sense.

8:25 发言人 5 the carry your wife spot to fiji baba carry carry that's not working what's wrong with that i'm just saying like if your wife is from it's about teamwork yeah wife caring became an official spot in fiji like how far like can you carry do you honestly think you could carry your partner now before you tap out let us know this morning

12:08 发言人 2 anything quite yet and on the way down a lot of people were hoping to have it back in Lothoka why?

12:16 发言人 4 I don't know why

12:17 发言人 2 even though these are like predominantly super schools it's just that Lothoka has such a great vibe around rugby respectfully no diss to HFC stadium

13:21 发言人 4 That's a good question

13:22 发言人 5 I think we should have it Probably in Lotoka this year

13:24 发言人 2 Or even in Why not? For our stadium

13:27 发言人 5 Or for our stadium in Bar You know I feel like the whole country Should get a chance to host it Yes

17:06 96 Crap Firsts with Benenity Fentai

17:08 发言人 2 16 past 7, let's go Tuesday

17:10 发言人 5 Okay, this one is interesting because while everybody's been worrying about AI coming for our jobs there's a court in China that has been that's basically said, you know what? That's not gonna happen So they've made it illegal for AI to replace jobs in China Now we're talking So what had happened is there was a tech worker

18:01 justification to terminate somebody's employment thank you and I actually like the thinking behind this okay so use AI to make people better the jobs not

18:12 发言人 2 automatically make people unemployed yes that's the reason why we have AI in the first place you know these big organizations are trying to cheap out and just use it all together yeah so apparently in China they're saying

18:26 发言人 5 technology advancing doesn't mean that workers will get through to lose the the rights to their job. So I'm liking this.

18:34 发言人 4 Yeah, you know, it's letting the human element come back, you know, letting people get back their jobs.

18:40 发言人 5 I kind of feel embarrassed, man, that, you know, you've got the Chinese government really taking care of its people. Ah!

18:47 发言人 2 Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen, listen, guys.

18:50 发言人 4 I mean, it's China, you know, they're not that bad.

18:53 发言人 2 China, China, China.

23:04 发言人 5 It's 96 Breakfast with Banana Tifa and Ty, Pepe joins us this morning, 22 past 7, let's go Tuesday.

23:10 发言人 4 So I saw this Facebook post online that was talking about Fiji, right? Specifically school students and is the uniform needed? What? Like is it still, should it still be a requirement, especially in Fiji?

23:23 发言人 5 Oh my word.

23:24 发言人 2 But you know what? At first when I was in high school, I thought like, you know, I want to be like those American schools where the kids go to school in outings and what not. not but as a full-blown adult do you know how absolutely tiring it is to find an outfit every day yep like that oh that's true it i never i've never appreciated uniforms more than i did now okay uniforms are the best thing in the whole wide world and i wish every organization had it because what do you mean i have to find a cute outfit every day i think i think we all need this

23:55 发言人 5 school uniforms a uniform still yeah really okay because it's it's your identification because imagine you know because in speaking from experience

24:07 having to walk around in town oh that's true yeah and stepping school that's the one

24:14 发言人 4 okay but the post specifically it argued it was talking about how like you know without the uniforms you you can save money and stuff like that what and you can like use it for like school books and other stuff like i don't know has the uniforms become more expensive they have

24:29 发言人 2 been a bit pricey i will say unreasonably pricey yeah because like school jackets are what fifty dollars yeah yeah what school are we what school is this like you know some schools that have their own jackets yeah like marist has their own jacket hey we're not naming names now i'm just saying you're pretty much one of the most prominent schools that does have your own jackets and they they are quite pricey. Okay. And sometimes, and I know that there are some schools where you're not allowed to wear any other jacket in school other than your school jacket.

24:57 发言人 5 Oh, yeah. Yeah.

24:58 发言人 2 I know for a fact that's a thing. So, I guess when it comes to like your own school image, your school has a responsibility to have it a little bit less. Yeah. Like a little less expensive. Inexpensive, I would say.

25:10 发言人 5 We have to have the uniform.

25:11 发言人 2 Yeah, but I'm standing by uniforms. Yeah. All right. Hardcore.

25:14 发言人 4 Well, if you should, should school students have a uniform or should they not? Let us know.

33:00 发言人 4 F-96 Crackfest with Banana T-Fantai

33:03 发言人 5 It's 28 to 8, let's go Tuesday

33:06 发言人 2 You know Gen Z has just been reported to be fully broke

33:10 发言人 4 Yo, real

33:12 发言人 2 It has been reported that Gen Z's are broke Sometimes, most of the time, not their fault You know, the economy is just not our friend right now We don't have enough good paying jobs to cater for the rising cost of living But we are broke just because we have a problem ourselves

33:28 发言人 5 Okay, what is it?

33:29 发言人 2 It's that we're afraid to ask our friends To pay us back It is in actual fact true There are times Where say you foot the bill For something and they say I'll pay you back I'll pay you back when I get the money Just know that we are hoping you remember We're probably never going to remind you And then we're going to suffer in silence And it is I thought this was just like a me thing But it's a global epidemic dude

33:57 发言人 4 Yeah like It is going on

34:00 发言人 2 Everywhere And not only that It's purely because We're just It's just too stressful Of a situation to ask Going through the whole So you remember that 20 bucks 20 dollars you borrowed

34:14 发言人 4 No that makes me feel Really bad

34:16 发言人 2 You asked me to buy the four bags And you said you're gonna pay me back

34:18 发言人 5 But why is it so hard For you to just Ask for your money

34:22 发言人 2 But why is it so hard For you to forget To pay us back You know

34:24 发言人 4 In the Gen Z's defense

35:23 发言人 2 culture thing yeah you know is that it okay yeah yeah but it's a global epidemic now it's a problem

35:29 发言人 5 everywhere I don't think it's a gen Z it's a generational problem yeah hard bro yeah I think we just need to find out why why is it so as hard for us to ask for our money back if you think you

35:39 发言人 2 know the reason if you're joining us this morning you know the reason why please give us the answer because we are struggling here still waiting for that 20 dollars to come back

38:34 f96 breakfast with buneditifa and thai goody andres pepe joins us this morning

38:39 发言人 4 and it's 22 to 8 let's go tuesday okay so we had to quickly google uh why is it so

38:45 发言人 5 you know hard for for us to ask for our money back um okay so we got a couple of reasons one is that you don't want to look desperate yeah that's so true especially with that 20 dollars that you've been wanting thai you know you don't want them thinking that you know you need it or because it's because it's only 20 bucks i think that's where ego comes in it really does

39:10 发言人 2 oh my word because then you're okay with giving it away you're okay with helping people because you don't look at it that way yeah but you'll feel like the charity case once you ask for it back yep

39:18 发言人 4 oh my gosh don't worry i still owe you forty dollars oh my gosh no it's okay you don't want

39:25 发言人 5 to avoid uh you want to avoid conflict especially with friends or family because when it comes to to like having to talk about money it can become very awkward very quickly but that's off again

39:36 发言人 4 you know they should take accountability yeah but I'm not saying that to their face

39:40 发言人 5 and you feel guilty because you know they're struggling as well oh my god so you kind of keep extending the deadline okay that's another reason and then the fourth one is that you expect them to remember

39:53 发言人 2 you expect them to remember

39:56 发言人 4 but we do though yeah we do though but at the back of our heads

39:59 发言人 5 so piled by guilt it's like oh and then finally you don't want to damage the relationship

40:07 发言人 2 by asking for your money back that's true money can ruin certain relationships

40:10 发言人 5 yeah because the i think the longer you stay quiet the the more it just like you know it creates that yes resentment builds up towards the person yeah so it says yeah the biggest mindset change is this you need to be asking for repayment because asking for repayment isn't asking for favor you're asking

40:29 发言人 2 asking someone to honor the agreement right okay if you appreciate this relationship you will honor

40:36 发言人 5 that agreement that we made because they had mentioned they were going to pay you back they need to honor that agreement and it also says here instead of apologizing yeah you have to keep it specific you can message the person saying hey just following up on the hundred dollars that I lent you can you send it through by Friday please I need to sort a few things okay yeah don't say sorry to bother you because you did nothing wrong I hope my friends who are listening

41:03 发言人 4 pick up a thing or two from this

41:24 发言人 3 try the best fruit cocktail lemon squash and raspberry too get one right now for you Sprint is what it's all about Sprint a Motivy group product

45:55 发言人 2 it's so hard to choose a movie it is and these days it's not much of a great selection yeah

46:00 发言人 5 so there's a movie that i watch and you know how i love my action pack movies okay so one i will suggest is the jake gyllenhaal oh covenant movie yeah covenant

46:10 发言人 2 I haven't watched it, but I've read it, and it's Jake Gyllenhaal.

46:14 发言人 4 Yeah, he's the GOAT. He's awesome.

46:15 发言人 3 He's the Southpaw.

46:17 发言人 5 So it's just a movie about him playing the sergeant serving in Afghan, and he's Afghan interpreter who works with him under the understanding that his service will make eligible for a U.S. visa. Oh, that's kind of messed up. Yeah, then everything goes sideways, and then he gets shot, shot and then um and then he saves his life so when he managed to recover he goes back to the states yeah and then only to find out that they didn't stick to the agreement oh unlucky and because he's he's all about honor yeah he had to go back he went back to Afghanistan yeah to try and get the guy who saved him and because they were already on the top wanted list for by the

47:32 which is what the movie is drained from and most of them have been killed as soon as they are you know because they're traitors

47:42 发言人 4 okay so what would you rate

47:43 发言人 5 this movie out of 10? I would rate it like 9 out of 10. No way that's high praise

47:47 发言人 4 you can't even finish the movie

47:50 发言人 5 hey as long as it's

47:54 don't reach out to me no if only if it's like action packed I will finish the movie. That's fair that's fair but it's definitely a movie to check out it's from 2023. oh and guy

48:06 发言人 4 richie redirected it who is that oh big action director big action director okay

50:44 发言人 2 f96 correct first with buddha tifa and tiger yeah it's a let's go now i got a question how you is physical media it's all love them books especially it's just really nice to have yeah to have a hundred percent like when you get overwhelmed so yeah i love books coming from australia right now

50:59 发言人 4 ai companies what they're doing is they're taking old books and they're scanning them and then saving them onto their ai databases and then what they do is they destroy the books huh Yeah, like it's called, what is it? Destructive scanning. So the spine is literally cut off and each individual page can go like quickly through the scanners. And then after that, there's a small chance for them to be recycled, but most of them just get destroyed. And this is happening with an AI company by the name of Anthropic and specifically in Australia right now. Now, this all started because booksellers in Australia,

52:02 发言人 2 that's sick and that's like very um like it doesn't feel real exactly like so what they're

52:10 发言人 5 doing is they're preserving all the information from the books yeah but they're not preserving

52:14 发言人 4 the the book the original copies and they're not releasing it in the public they're keeping it on their databases for like reference for their like ai models that's insane so they would rather get

52:55 like other like the old old ones too like imagine that being in Fiji you know because I because

53:00 发言人 5 everything now has been digitized yes yes yes okay that's fine you digitize it but if the physical book can you why can you why can't you preserve it why can't you just keep it somewhere for safe

53:09 发言人 2 keeping like is it is it that necessary to destroy you need to destroy exactly they're just doing all

53:16 发言人 4 All this, you know, and then they're just going to go on their day. Like, these Australians.
