  Speaker 1: I would love your take on this, Christine. Okay, Actually,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: if you're listening to this right now, your thoughts at
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: four four three six three. There's a tech startup company
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and they're offering to clean people's homes for free. You
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: like that so far? Yes, so clean your home for free.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Little small catch though, the cleaners will wear cameras to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: capture everything they see and do. Oh. It's kind of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: like a reversal of when like normally you're recording your
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: housekeeper to make sure they don't do anything. They're going
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to record everything. It's a German company called Microagi with
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: an app called Shift, and the free offer is for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: people living in New York City. They film everything that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: happens in your place. Now are you wondering? Why are
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: they doing this? To help train the next generation of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: household robots? The Shift app website insists, though, if I'm
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: sure you're thinking this, names, faces, or other personal information
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is automatically blurred out. Any sensitive details blurred out? Uh,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it's never used. Screens, ID cards, pieces of paper, cell phones,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: anything like that would be blurred out. You won't see that,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: But would you even say? Yes?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Company will have it, right, somebody will have somebody, no,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: so then I have to pass.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: See all I see is free is for me. Yes,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you're gonna clean my house for free? Yeah, put all
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the cameras you want.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: You started off with the good part. You want them,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: like you want to your bathrooms. I don't know. Just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: think of how personal that is. I yeah, yeah, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: The whole company will be seeing, Yeah, your vanity and yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: your bathroom.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I mean it's already kind of weird, right, but very
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: necessary and an important job when we can get some
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: help into clean. But I already feel like a little exposed.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And you know how you and I go around and
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: clean before they come clean, right, yeah, And.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Then they're gonna come clean with cameras, so you're gonna
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: be really self conscious about how much did you clean
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: up before?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think I can do it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And then, Christine, you brought up a good point too
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: off the air, like like putting people out of jobs.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Kind of I don't like the idea of that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Like housekeepers not having a gig. Will robots take over
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: housekeeping one day?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: They could never. Maybe I shouldn't say never, but I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: can't imagine they can get into the nooks and crannies,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: right and with the care that a human can do it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I don't like the idea of putting people
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: out of work.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And we have heard stories about self checkout kind of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: going away because all the theft issues, so that was
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: something you thought would never go away. But there are
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: self checkout issues.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: So we can make a change.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So maybe robots won't completely take control. But the question
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: involves here, would you let a company that's testing this
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: out have somebody come in wear cameras so the robots
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: are trained. Would you let them do your house for free?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Four four, three six three.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: You're a hard no issues.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: No, I'm all for it. I'll just make sure I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: shred my Social Security ober.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: All right, Texas, we have commented in the news.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Let's check out the headlines and which city has been
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: named the happiest city in the world.
