It's a whole bottle of Goldschlager, a whole bottle of vodka. Followed by a bottle of Fireball and a bottle of Hennessy. Then you've got a bottle of Godiva White Chocolate, a bottle of RumChata, a bottle of Bailey's, a bottle of Kahlua. This is a potent mix based on Game of Thrones. Andrew, I hope you like it; let's talk automation. So I have Andrew Yang over, okay, presidential candidate. I know you're a Game of Thrones fan, - Yes I am. - So I created this drink called Giant's Milk. - Even after the last season, still a fan. - Why though? - It entertained us. I mean, it didn't end on the greatest note but come on, it was awesome, overall. - It was awesome up until last season, though. - It was better before the last season. (laughs) - Okay, this season-- - And then we all needed a drink. - Okay, you ready? - We'll all be, "Let me re-write that season in my mind." With some booze. - (laughs) - You ready to try Giant's Milk? - Oh, this is actually very appropriate. Giant's Milk - Cheers. Straight out of Game of Thrones. (thump, thump) - What'd you think? - Ah, I feel bigger already. - You like it? Yeah, - (laughs) I feel great. - Okay, so, let me get into what I want to ask you. In Las Vegas right now you have machines moving in and bartenders-- - Yeah, we do. Are being automated away. - Now this sounds like science fiction but MGM just replaced hundreds of it's bartenders in all their casino's in Las Vegas with robots. - Uh huh. - And you just go and you tell it what drink to make and it does its robot arms shaka-shaka-shaka and it's a bit of a spectacle. - Oh, right. - And it serves the drink to you. And why did they do this? To save money because if you think about hundreds of salaries and benefits for these bartenders, they did the math and they said a robot is going to do the same job and it's going to pay for itself over time. So this is, you can look it up. - Uh huh. - You can just Google that. - So, but that tells me something. That tells me that in 30 years, okay, because if MGM did it, right, I know that tomorrow Cheesecake Factory's going to do it. TGI Friday's is going to do it, Olive Garden's going to do it, Red Lobster's going to do it. So that tells me 30 years from today there are no more human bartenders. Would you agree with that? - There will be human bartenders but they will be not in the big chains because the big chains will have the money. If you think about your Mom and Pop bar on the corner, like they're not going to get a bartending robot but to your point, after MGM does it, are the other casino's going to do it? Yes. Are the restaurant chains going to do it? Yes, and the sad truth of it is that customers kind of enjoy watching the robot arms do their thing. - I know, that's the thing, it worked! Because people, bartenders always thought, "You know, no one wants to get a drink from a robot." Apparently that is not true, they frickin' love it. - Yeah, it's-- - (laughs) It's brutally true. Cause I grew up watching Cheers and, you know, the rest of it and it's like you think of a bartender as like a companion or a consigliere or a sounding board. But now it's just robot arms making that drink. - What other jobs do you see 30 years from today that won't be here? Because I know people in college right now taking subjects that I, don't do it, that's a waste of time. By the time you graduate that will be non-existent. - Yeah, there are many jobs that unfortunately are in the midst of getting replaced by machines and technology right now. Call center workers, when you call a customer service line it's going to be software that sounds like this, "Hey, Sky, how you doing?" - I know, I've heard-- - "What can I do for you?" I've heard stuff like that before. - Yeah, and right now that software is terrible and you're just like, "zero, zero, human, human, human, get me a human" but in two or three years you're not going to be able to tell the difference. So, that's going to go away. Driving a truck or a car for a living. They're making cars and trucks that can drive themselves and that's the most common job in 29 states. Food service, over time. If you go into a fast food restaurant you can see self serve kiosks in most of the locations now, at this point, and it's going to go to the back of the house cause they can actually do a lot of the assembling of food. - Back of the house, he means like in the kitchen where you guys don't see. - In the kitchen, yeah. - Right now, they are placed in the front of the house so that you just go beep, boop, boop and like the food comes out to you. Now their migrating to the back of the house and it's not just these manual jobs, it's also accounting, being a lawyer. - Okay, so right there, don't become an account, don't become a lawyer. Is that what you're saying? - I would definitely say don't become a lawyer because I did that job for five and a half months-- - (laughs) - and not only can you automate away that job but it's also not a good time. But you can automate, I mean, artificial intelligence can already look at contracts and documents more quickly and accurately then a human. - Oh, wow, I didn't even know that one. - Yeah, that's on. - So, okay, so I'm a 18-year-old, 20-year-old undecided about what I want to do with my future, right? - Yep. - Like, what jobs will be here 30 years from now that makes sense studying because if you, I would, because most people would say, "Learn the code." but I've already seen YouTube videos of A.I. doing basic coding. - A.I. can do basic coding. - Exactly, and if A.I.'s doing basic coding today, by the time you graduate imagine how good that will be. - Yeah, and that's one of the things that frustrates me, honestly, learning to code. One, that's not realistic for a lot of people. Two, a lot of people don't want to learn to code and three, software is going to be able to code in many environments faster and more accurately then humans. So, what I'd advise an 18-year-old, aside form staying sober, just kidding, (laughs) - (laughs) is, one, try and figure out what you actually enjoy doing. It sounds kind of cliche but if you enjoy doing something, the odds of your being good at it are much, much higher. Two, put yourself in a position to continuously learn from other people because it's this team-oriented type of work that's going to be more and more in demand in the future. - That stuff never goes out of style and frankly, we're getting less good at training people to be good team players and so if you're a good team player it's actually super valuable. Whether, and I one of the things I love is, I love entrepreneurship; something like you're doing here. It's tremendous. If you can create your own opportunities, that's ideal.
