I only saw the 1st part, and the essential content of the conversation was:

A - I like to hear more about what you said about speakers.

B - Is the speaker distinct from the sound emitted by the speaker?

A - I think we must first make a distinction between speakers. There are human speakers and human-made speakers.

B - But, is the human speaker essentially any different from the human-made speaker?

A - Well, of course, there are many kinds of human speakers, like good speakers and bad speakers.

B - Yes there are, so that raises the question - can the bad human speaker produce a good human-made speaker?

Philosophy, as understood by most people and philosophers, is a slightly more intellectual form of gossip.
