JUST MY POV

In this episode of Just My POV, Pocardi and Kelvin clash on real-world expectations, personal values, and changing generational mindsets. From the heated 9 to 5 debate to who deserves your first salary, this conversation goes deep into what growing up really looks like in today’s world. Millennials defend structure and job stability, while Gen Z counters with hustle culture, tech freedom, and eating your paycheck like it’s jollof rice.

We also explore the rise of AI in healthcare — would you let a robot perform surgery on you? The takes get real, fast. Watch till the end, drop your thoughts in the comments, and follow us on all platforms @thehousechronicles.

What is JUST MY POV?

Just My POV is a raw, real, and refreshing talk show where a millennial aunt and her Gen Z nephew go head-to-head on everything—love, money, culture, gender roles, and the messy parts of growing up in two different worlds.

They don’t always agree.
They don’t hold back.
But they always keep it real.

Each episode dives into the generational gap, the clash of values, and the moments that spark deep reflection—or full-blown arguments.

It’s not about who’s right.
It’s just their point of view.

do you think that 9 to5 is still like a real job i figured out that it's really not worth it at the end of the day because you would go to work you will suffer you will come back home late when you're receiving your salary is not that much so what you're saying is a 9 to5 isn't still like a Yeah someone else is your boss i'm a millennial getting a 9 to5 gives you is steady money there are lots of things that you learn on the job that you can never learn if you're not on the job do you think like as somebody who just newly like starts this new job and you eventually get paid do who do you think the first salary should be going to you should split it because your parents took care of you from babyhood sending you to school in the person that you have become the first thing that went to my brain is it's the money you worked so hard for this money what do you think about having AI doctors operate on you you're talking about something medical you need someone who can see beyond things that we're programmed into the AI you know get eye you're not really going to be seeing things that you're not programmed to see the mental health part your AI doctor would not be able to reach you because it doesn't have a conscience yes what now happens to the real doctor [Music] hey guys there's another episode of Just My POV and as you well know I'm Pocardi holding it down for the millennials and I'm Kelvin holding it down for the Gen Z exactly with that being said let's head on straight into the show proper now there are a lot of things that you know growing up you got to leave home you have to get a job you have to like be serious be focused and start to pay your own bills which a lot of us don't usually enjoy and we try to run away from it but you can't run away from it the older you get so um often times we tend to even though we like have like a passion or something we always kind of like find something else that pays our bills like a job so I want to ask you I'm a millennial and you know that we were very 9 to5 we like to once you graduate uni you go get a job you do your 9 to5 collect your salary at the end of the month but I wanted to ask you do you think that 9 to5 is still till now is still like a real job or do you think that it's not really a thing for Gen Z's because so growing up I actually thought that it was like 9 to5s are like what everybody wants to do you know people our choice of careers then would be like I want to be a doctor I want to be a lawyer all of that all of that but at the end of the day I figured out that it's really not worth it at the end of the day because you you would go to work you would suffer you will come back home late and at the end of the day when you're receiving your salary is not that much I mean as against people who are doing some other you know quick hustles like okay so so for instance people who are doing tech most of the time they're not really working with a particular time frame you know some sometimes they work from home sometimes they might go to the office but is more flexible right even in the entertainment field is more flexible you know and if we're going to talk about some other you know some command No you don't have to give me all you some other comm jobs you know these jobs are things that you're going to make so much money from so much money and you're not working with a particular time you know for even entrepreneurs right a lot of them even do it online so you're basically working around the clock but on your own timing okay so what you're saying is a 9 to5 isn't still like a real Yeah someone else is your boss okay so let me help you i'm a millennial guys i need to speak for us come on i mean a 9 to5 what that does I'm not saying that the other little or big jobs or whatever you want to call it side hustle or your own business it's great it's absolutely fantastic that's the end goal anyways if it's I mean if you have like an idea you should want to open your own business and be an entrepreneur but I feel that getting a 9 to5 gives you some steadiness it's steady money regardless it's like a routine regard it's not the routine part steady money regardless of your side hustle regardless of your passion regardless of whatever come rain come shine your salary is right there now the thing about having all these other jobs is if you have clients if you have you know the right it's even one thing to have a client and another thing to have someone who's paying well because you can actually get a client and then the money that they're offering isn't that much isn't that much but because you don't have any other form or source of income you kind of need to just take that one secondly um another thing with a 9 to5 is there are lots of things that you learn on the job that you can never learn if you're not on the job yeah I feel you i understand just like going to school exactly there are some administrative parts of the job that you need to learn in order for you to be able to open your own business and handle your staff appropriately so those are the little things i mean these are only just two instances but there are so many other things how to even like write a letter to go on leave you need to be able to know this so that even Yeah so that when you even have your staff and people are working for you they can't even lie to you about certain things like I know they know how so for me I'm a I'm a huge advocate of getting a 9 to5 especially when you just graduate school it does not mean you're doing it forever you're just doing it for your basic knowledge of knowing business a company how it works how to even relate with other people if you're like like you said a tech person and then you're always just on your computer at home you're probably antisocial you're probably introverted you probably get your money yeah but then it's not constant it's not all the time then you don't have social skills you don't know how to do like interpersonal relations and then get a do marketing get the brand or get the client and keep them those are the things that make a 9 to5 give you that steadiness and put togetherness that you need as an adult so in my own opinion yeah if it's for on the issue of learning all these things I understand what you're saying right you can only get to understand these things if you experience it but for me I'm sorry i'm not walking to experience anything okay that's because that money is very important the quicker the faster the more so that you see better for me you know that's the thing absolutely and and the money the thing about quick money too that's another issue quick money usually is quick to go for sure for sure because you didn't put in the years of trying and then figuring out that when this money comes even when it comes it can go quickly so I need to pace it so that structure is not there you don't know how you want it you don't know how to manage even your money so that's why I feel and I believe and I know that my fellow millennials out there believe that 9 to5 is the way to go if you want to be great i feel like Nigeria I feel like so Nigerian that's fair since we're talking about like jobs right yeah i was thinking do you think like as somebody who just newly like starts this new job and you eventually get paid do who do you think the first salary should be going to do you think you should give your parents your first salary do you want me to answer that honestly or I should pretend it just be pretend first but I don't pretend because I have an answer i also have an answer we both know the answer we want to answer for real okay so truth be told okay i think that you can consider splitting it i think you can i know right no but here's here's the reason here's the reason I think that you should consider you might not want to i think it's a personal thing to be honest it's a personal thing yeah i think that is really a personal thing but let me just say the reason I think that you should split it yeah you should split it because your parents take care of you from babyhood from infants all the way sending you to school they invested in you in the person that you have become if they didn't even pay for your school fees throughout the years they put you together no it's not even even if they didn't even pay like someone else paid or you're like you're on scholarship yeah they actually got you ready for you to go to school and pick up a thing or two that has made you the person that you are that has now also helped you to be able to get that job is a certificate that helps you to get the job so it's only a way of being grateful and appreciative and letting them know that now that you started on this new journey where you're making your own money you're open to also sharing sharing your responsib I didn't say giving it to them Garrett well um for me I understand what she's saying and it's almost selfish for a kid to maybe not like give it to their parents or like tell their parents about it or divide it into two but like asking that question the first thing that went to my brain is chop chop like eat the money enjoy the money i saw it in your eyes feel the money you know smell it you worked so hard for this money eat it buy cloth chop three gallons finally cuz like you know receiving your first salary is like it's like an award you know because majority of people graduate and they're not really so happy about it you know but you see that money that enters your hand you're like you're finally a man you're finally that person you know so yeah like you're an adult you're an adult you should at least take that money sit down think about it don't even be so quick to talk it break it down it well You can give them a percentage right but but that's why I said use your own brain chop that money that's why I said she the point the point really but I know but I know to be honest for a fact that most millennials still have that mindset that your first salary should go to your parents and there's nothing wrong with it that's why I said also when we're talking about it I'm like it's a personal decision yeah but I personally as a human being my first salary I even think yes I did share it with my parents I bought actually I didn't even give them like oh this is how much I'm earning because it's just now it's according to I kind of don't want them to know honestly I really don't want them to know how much but what I did was money that you hide like hey I bought a lot of stuff and then I took it home I went home and I'm like oh it's been a month since I got the job hey these are the things that I And then I gave them like also like envelopes of money because I have to appreciate it so that's a personal thing i also don't agree with the idea of you just collect your salary as you just collect and bam Google like for forever and a day they'll probably be calculating that amount of money yeah and you don't want to get yourself in that kind of I don't even think you should tell them what's happening in your account this is like even family conversation generally you shouldn't even tell them what's happening in your account because they will do this mathematics for you that money where you know no say you even spend them they are going to tell you on this day on that day you spent you're supposed to have so so amount of money how come you don't absolutely forgetting that you have personal problems but the thing about it also is because they would be worried about your management skills because they've had to manage to take care of you so when you start to earn your money they're very particular about how you're spending your money considering 30 days of doing whatever hustle that you've been doing so yeah I'm I'm down for sharing should be said that you chop your money your money like I know share right away your idea see your your mindset tells you to up the money because I know that you've collected your first salary and I did not see any money when you collected your first salary your money stop honestly like eat it it's sweet you didn't give me anything and I know what I invested in you and you didn't give me anything cham no for real to think like it's not even what you double it's all right you get I know where you stand now i'm going to ask a few questions to know what that money was so I can calculate it that's okay so I have one more thing that I saw on social media that I've been thinking about and I'm like so where exactly are we really headed currently China has opened a hospital and in the hospital I even think that by now they probably even have more more doctors so at the time when they open the hospital it's like an AI operated type of hospital all right and then they have like 14 AI doctors already there to work on patients how many actual doctors 14 14 AI doctors 14 at the time that they open i'm sure that now maybe like they are 21 or something or more but I mean what's your take on that seeing that this is pretty much like your generation i agree that we're there there's also Gen Alpha and whatnot but I mean this is your time your season what do you think about having AI doctors operate on you or treat you and whatnot right so um my general take on AI is almost so accurate with its findings like anything you're looking to search out assignments anything projects it makes it so easy like you don't need to go through all of the processes if you're using like artificial intelligence right but I feel like when you're talking about something medical something related to health you need you need a professional you need someone who can see beyond just you know things that were programmed into it because it doesn't matter how smart artificial intelligence wants to be it was programmed by a human being do you understand so I feel like in a let's say for instance somebody's going through um like C-section she's trying to give birth and for whatever reason there are some reasons why they are supposed to probably stop blood from passing her leg or one thing or the other i feel like the AI you know get eye you're not really going to be seeing things that you're not programmed to see you know there are going to be more people that will die unless it's just like basic things that people have already experienced so there will be like so many death records that will make them program more things i feel like eventually eventually there will be a solution to everything but for now I don't think it works okay why okay so while I still feel like we need real doctors like human doctors over AI I don't think that this is the reason I want human doctors over AI let me explain ai is programmed i agree with you 100% and they are more about results and tests and figures and you know I like just data data so basically they work with whatever data they get so even with humans who are ill or like a woman who is pregnant there will be data of her once they do those tests those tests will give you your results and then it will tell you exactly how to treat such a person or a person that's dealing with XYZ ailment or symptoms or whatnot so I'm sure that that part will be taken care of but the part that wouldn't be taken care of is the emotional part and the mental part yeah the part that has to do with your mental health now everything whether we admit it or not is connected to your brain and it's connected to your brain because that's like the brain box where signals are sent to your body to your hands to your eyes to enable you recognize what you see as either a flower or light or a microphone those things is translated through through your brain even your movement so the mental health part your AI doctor would not be able to reach you because it it doesn't have a conscience yes so the conscience is where a human being comes in to recognizing that oh this person's kid has XYZ maybe if if their kid is what is fighting or battling autism you wouldn't crack a joke that is that could trigger Yeah somebody who is dealing with autism so that's where a human doctor comes in however in terms of like data in terms of like delivery and making sure that there are no mistakes like we have a lot of medical issues in Nigeria where a lot of people go to hospital and then they now do like an operation but they forgot to give you maybe one medicine or one injection that wouldn't happen with AI that wouldn't happen that can never happen with AI they are right there they are doing everything to make sure that things are working so aside the emotional and the mental part that's where I felt like human beings but then another issue with that is then what now happens to the real doctors they now become redundant or they now are the ones who are operating the AI doctor because medicine as a cause on its own is such a hectic cause it's like not everybody is mentally wired enough to go through hence the reason AI hence the reason AI and I understand where they're coming from i get where they're coming from with the idea of it but then what does that do with the real doctors like people who really put in the work this thing is not easy you need to see medical students another thing that you said is like oh that you like how it's very easy if you put something into like AI or meta that it gives you whatever whatnot whatever question that you ask you get your result but doesn't that tell you now that most of the professionals who are like maybe in your generation who use like AI actually don't know anything about the job yeah they don't know that much they don't actually know [ __ ] about it the people who actually know are millennials and now that takes me back to that thing that we've been seeing online where they say that millennials are the more in the most intellectual but the least paid of all the generations because we ended up reading and studying and getting prepared for computer to be able to control the computer but then now other humans powers that be people who just have the money or that controlling stuff now want to be the sole controller of things so then now they're bringing in AI so that the whole control is from them so they can put in what they want to put in remove what they want to remove and then it's only that idea but then computer is such a funny thing that it can migrate and integrate and recreate something you know what I think i feel like as the world keeps evolving there are other parts of our brains that we would be able to connect with i mean use for instance I don't know what it is but I feel like there are more things we would find out about ourselves for Okay when yall were growing up right you guys had only like normal computers not even smartphones yeah yeah yeah right and now we have like smartphones and it's even evolving that there are even some phones that are transparent mhm yeah good there are apps that are apps that can actually recommend the right skinare products for you you know there are so many things like this like these things keep evolving so it's crazy it's crazy but I think that eventually maybe some one part of our brain will just click one day we find out new things the truth is I think that the only part of our brain right now that we're even working on or trying to do anything with is trying to just stay healthy and that's why there are so many fitness instructors all those dietician dietricians and whatnot but I don't actually because you don't challenge your mental that's why you find that a lot of Gen Z people would come out and say "Oh I have anxiety oh I have depression." Not really in Nigeria though in the Western world there are a lot of people who don't even know anything so and they've come this far know anything like how intellectually they know nothing intellectually they are very Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah no but that is because their government their government provides certain things in Nigeria we still suffer at least yeah in Nigeria we still no it's not about the suffering it's not about the suffering the point is no it's about challenging your mind right yeah but now you now for instance most of the time you're on your phone that's what you're on anything that you want to do you're picking it out from from the phone me I'm on my phone but not that much half the time I'm sitting down and juggling my mind thinking about the events of the day what to do what not to do what have I left undone like those are the things that help you challenge your mind and then you're a little bit faster in your reactions versus somebody who's on the phone i find that a lot of Gen Z's are a little slower to move to act to do things they are not as active as millennials or like and I'm not trying to I'm not trying to shade any it's just because they are so used to every information is right here but I've I'm like yeah I have some information that's here but that information that's here is also put in by somebody like me so why would I take here so seriously versus finding out by myself that's where my mind's at some people just love to they just love to challenge themselves some people just don't like No I'm just saying some people love to challenge themselves like you know read up on articles and all of these things while some people just love the easy way out you know because I know that when it comes to when it come there are some things things of my interest mhm i love to read up on those type of things but things I'm not interested in carry me knack for ground yeah same thing with us it's not even It's not even really about the reading some people just don't want to use their brains that's just the one and this generation makes it so easy easy that's it and you know it's like the easier way out but then and there's no problem with going the easier route i'm also down for the easier route i don't want to have to hustle so much to be able to make some kind of money that's why I'm also on social media i post so that maybe like as an influencer I can make money whatnot i don't want to do that but then I I realized that if I do not try to challenge my mental and do some activities with my own brain sometimes I might go to sleep it's like sleep mode with your computer as well and you don't want to be in sleep mode because anything can happen if today now something just happens in the world there's one shift like that you're going to have to find a way to survive and it's what you've done with your mental that helps you navigate the entire part of your body that's very fair i agree yeah I also agree too i love the AI idea i love having those doctors there but then what happens to the doctors that use seven years i be 10 years cuz it's honestly more than seven like they are continuously in a learning process yes like even on the job there are so many more things they learn because with health complications it's peculiar to who is affected you know absolutely so in ah now wow I don't think it even makes any so are you down for a doctor no if I see where they are doing that thing I run I run for my life yeah I'm not sure if I lie down there's no way there's no way me I will lie down you tell me one kind thing like and there one robot I don't lie and the robot can't talk I cannot the robot can't smile at you I cannot It can say it's paining me it's paining me you will keep you will continue no the thing can answer you it can say calm down i'm in the process or I'll be done in 2 seconds like would you shut the tell you something like try to be nice Kelvin yeah you know it's a bit like trying to just give me 5 minutes and I'll be done yeah it will be like that but it's funny that gets on my nerves but it's funny that you're a Gen Z and you're not down for AI i'm not down for you because of my health but if it's like for an assignment for like probably writing a script probably anything so easy do it for me first if you can even help me wash my clothes do it if you can help me fold my clothes do it no you know because washing machines won't fold those clothes yeah but I'm sure that they wouldn't do those things they're actually robots who actually fold who make coffee who Yeah the world is such a beautiful place i love how we are evolving but you don't want AI doctor for you ai veg for you why that iron slap like this well I would even lie i absolutely agree with you and while it seems as though I may be advocating for AI ducks which I'm not because I mean I live in Nigeria and never they take lights away so if never take lights ah you think or it just start spitting or I start to spark i start to spark what if even step what if let's even like it's trying to cut you then something just happens and the hand just I know that I can't really don't know how fast it's gone you know for real see for real I don't think I wouldn't let an AI doctor touch anything like that too if it's for consultation maybe aside consultation I don't think anything surgical any no just administer the drugs and I agree I'm down for that also like for test results for consultation yeah for me to be able to like my after care s after the surgery after whatever post up hair my post up everything yeah yeah i'm down for that that's fair but like having the thing the real work come and do no okay so that's a good thing at least both of us both generations in this idea were like We're not ready for that man it gets crazy the world every year every generation every decade every century but then it's really interesting i think that most of us that are right that are here on earth somehow we forget the reasons we're here which is where we now start to compete with each other and then we start to get jealous of each other and then we start to fight each other the idea really isn't about that it should be about the experience of it and how far we're going in this life because see how far we've come who would have thought like 20 years ago that we would that this is our generation i mean it's in the Bible that oh there's revelation and then there's the mark of the beast and what I know that that's there but we're literally leaving to be as spicy as it and we're leaving part of it now so maybe if we have a much healthier relationships amongst ourselves because at the end of the day if anything happens it will be humans against robots yeah not you and your robots against another human clock that be more sensitive be more caring be more loving just be more human period until next week guys this has been fun talking with Kelvin yeah holding it down for the Jenzies and I am Pearl Cardi until next time guys catch you later [Music]
