Speaker 1 (00:00):
This jon on Wan Being podcast. Hey, that's us broad
to you by Hello Fresh the experts and tastes that
ken we save. It's a really fun week. We're trying
to decide with your help, which is the best decade
the nineties or the noughties. Then on Friday we're going
to play music entirely from that decade for the whole show.
But it's up to you which which decade you reckon
is the best.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's been a lot of fun reflecting going back down
Nostalgias Street. But what's also quite confronting is the younger
members of the hits. This whole week is completely going
over your head.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I know, which is said a moment just before the show.
We were talking about dial up internet.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And we're trying to produce the graces twenty two too old,
Leonardo DiCaprio, Now a couple of years five is the
cutof then you're a geriatric? But what you said, can
you load and the dial up internet noise? And you
gave a blank look saying what is that? No idea?
And to be fair, you've never had to deal with
(00:59):
the burd and in pain that was dial up internet.
It's never been a thing in your life. You just
clicked onto the internet booms there wherever.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You are without having a plug in and go through
the phone system. So for younger members listening right now,
there's something we had to do back in the day.
We're dial up to get on the Internet through the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Grace is like, why are you dialing? Who are you dialing?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The Internet?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Mate? You call the Internet?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And it was excruciating. Yeah, and sometimes you go through
the whole process and it wouldn't even connect to the Internet.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Here's the sound. If you've dialed up the Internet before,
you'll know the sound.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What is that number?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The Internet?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It doesn't give out as number to everyone and Internet
thinking if you're worthy of joining it idea.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, that's one sounds like it's not going to connect.
And we're all the where you go, you get and then.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Someone will pick up the phone and they hear like
a noise like that. They're like, I ain't tears the
phone on the Internet. It's both at the same time, Yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It all ran through the same line, your phone line
and your internet.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You kids don't know how good you go.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So that was that was I can't even remember what
I looked at on the Internet back in the day, I.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Just downloaded songs on lime wire.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh yeah, that was kind of like Apple Music, wasn't
it was? Was it illegal?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, it hugely illegal lime wire it though? Was it napster?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
The original one.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Was Kim dot COM's one mega mega upload was Yeah,
he had one where you could help. It was all
the movies and things. One of the first ones where
you could down is how's he going?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I don't don't. You don't hear as.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Much in Queenstown. In Queenstown, do you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Remember trying to download a picture and it just like
takes you just want to see some boobies?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Oh my god, crazy. You don't know how good you've
got it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You the boobies.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Bomb hits that Jona wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Were loving this week nineties v the noughties nearly two thousands.
It's a bit of a campaign from Monday through Thursday,
and you vote online Hits Breakfast as to which era
you preferred the most. We're going to cover various categories celebrities, movies,
TV shows, songs, whatever, and then Friday, whichever the winning one,
We're going to dedicate the entire show to that to
(03:39):
that era, and right now the fashion faux pas of
years gone by. I think we need to front foot
this too. As you look back in your cringe at
some of your your fashion options or decisions. But then
you're like, well, at the time it was, it was
in the moment.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You were in the moment, and usually you weren't the
only one like other people. There's a reason you were
doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, doing it wearing my valure tracksit with juicy across
my but what about it?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I love saying that to the kids.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm like, you know when they dressed like that, I'm like,
one day you look back and you regret that these.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Enjoy it now.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
A photo you're going to save this yet.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Well yeah, great now you think they are now, but
you all look back.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
We all do, right, Yeah, even when you look back
at some of the stuff you used to say the
slang like that's jiggy.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Oh god, I don't remember saying that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You obviously weren't cool.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Okay, So we're going to do fashion regrets today because
there's so much we can cover off, and within ourselves,
there's so much we can cover off. This's just one
thing each, all right for now, Megan, you go.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
First, Well, I'm going to have to go with my eyebrows.
I've found a picture of early two thousands and the
berey there, I'd plucked them within an inch of their life,
and you're right, they were bigger arched. So I did
look quite surprised.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
They caught me by surprise. But I imagine again at the
time and the moment, the higher the brow, the more
sophisticated the brown.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, so they're very thin. But also like when brows
started coming back in, I had to use like a
serum to encourage them to grow brow.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Back, because now stop staring at your eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You've got great eyebrows, now, don't you.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Around nineteen times begger than they were. That's a great
great eyebrows. Now at the time, the slender.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And you look very neutral about things.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, John, what are you going to pack?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Oh god, I was trying to thinking about this last night.
There was a period there where I was wearing a
bead necklace like some sort of.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But but some people can pull off a bead if
you're like a chill dudefing at the beach and stuff,
No you're not. You're a great age spot.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I think even a bead bracelet as well some earrings
just like a calmer.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
Suit for.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Chill man. Yeah, I think and.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He was like even my mom was like what are
you doing? And your parents actually when you're like shut up, mom,
should what do you know? They're actually know the voice
of reason.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's what my dad got me to take back an
earring that was way too big that he wanted me
to wear that sorry, that I wanted to wear and
he's like, no, it was the earring. It's just a
big It was a big hoop ear gold ear We're
not real gold from Pasco, but it was the hoop
but it was big. It was like, yeah, was Dad's like,
you look like a pirate. It's like a curtain ring
you like, you.

Know, cheddar rings.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It was like yeah, because I was big hoop earrings.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
One only one, only one and it wasn't that bad.
But that wasn't that big, but it was a great one.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
But then you're like, actually Dad was trying to do

best at the nineties or the early two thousands, the noughties.

We're taking a trip down back, back to back to
olden days where Megan fringy cells through thin eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And Ben had a big hoop earring just.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
One momentarily until my dad made me take it back.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Did you hear your money's back from mister Pesco?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, they were pretty kind of but my dad came
in and was trying to buy this thing. It's too big.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It was very embarrassing as they sold singular hoop earring.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No I think it was two, but I could only

Speaker 2 (07:33):
He gave the other one to his mum. What time

He stood for yeah he love cool ja is actual name.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Jane, Yeah James. So he would he would wear a necklace,
probably very expensive gold nicklace with a key. You had
like a gold key underneath and I went to mister
Minute bought a key I think I back to Pasco
it's the same one, and bought a like your back.
But I'm still and trying to wear that round. I
(08:18):
didn't get a little bit bullied for that, so I
didn't too much.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Very handy, you know, if you lose the key to
the front door.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
It was what is an open nothing? Man, I'm trying
to be like a lot cool ja.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah that is a metaphor to unlock the key to
his heart.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Everyone was doing thann eyebrows when I was doing it.
No one else is doing a big hoop earing it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
He was very sexual too. He would make love to
you too.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Looked it up.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
His Nicholas had diamonds and was worth like sixteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Twelve dollars. I they go all up. You can but
more if you wanted to get the key actually cut
for your doing. But I said, open the door.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's quite.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
All right, Taylor, help me help me out.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Taylor's your fashion faux past from years.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
So, growing up in the early two thousands, I had
very dark hair, and where I was from in Crinola,
everyone had blonde hair. So I really want a blonde hair.
So I put a crapload of lemon in my hair
and that absolutely killed it. And then my mom told
me about this thing called sun in and I sprayed
it all over my hand. I got a beautiful orange.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Hew.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
The idea was you sprayed it and and then you
went out in the sun. Yeah, yeah, slowly lighted.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
It and it definitely did but a bit too brassy
for my liking.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I honestly I did bleached ginola in lemon juice too
when I was a teenager, and I really think that
is solely responsible for my currents. Someone, I've got to
look forward to two more years ago. So what were
your fashion faux past from years gone by? We'll go
to Toto on a teary good morning. Hello, here you go,
We're doing well, come back with us and cringe. What
(10:02):
was it for you?
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (10:04):
Look the very late nineteen seventies, I thought I was
so uber cool. I had a toweling boob tube or
the boot.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So that was the material, same material as a towel.
You say you was, and.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
Looked and it was a dusky pink no list.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
I thought it was so cool if I just.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Got out of the shower or.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Are you around for the whale tail, which was you
would have a low riding trouser and then your thong
poking out of the top.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You might be mortified to learn that that's making a comeback.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I saw it the other day at the Sylvia Park
and I was like, I didn't know if she had
forgotten to put the bells on, very taggable, like you
really just want to go hang.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Like that's strength.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, and you're talking about you here too. You had
a couple of strings dangling.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Trying to be ginger spice, and I had two. I
had brown hair, but two blonde streaks at the front.
I did myself.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Oh yeah, I imagine when you're eating that they'd become
quite problem to get into your mouth and stuff. Today, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Like constantly growing out with regrowths.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
That jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We're doing nineties v Naughties this week, trying to decide
which is the bit of error, and we're talking to
some wonderful guests from yester year. Uh, in particular this lady,
the nation's babysitter. I mean, if you had the option
to be rebursed and her is your biological mother. I
think you choose her every time when if you had
an option.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
B sorry my mum.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, oh you still love your mum now. But if
it was an option to suck back into a womb,
come back out of a womb. I'll stop talking, Suji Cato,
Susi are you.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
We're doing good. Always nice to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Likewise, tripped it A lived with you was just a
week ago.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm sorry, awful.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
It was lovely. He was honest behavior here at his
gorgeous wife with him, and he was just the.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Only time Susan has ever been Downbeaten's liking life this
board idiot.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Oh, Susie, we were doing a bit of reflecting this
this week. It was a bit of a competition, to
be honest, deciding which was the better decade, the nineties
or the noughties. Now you've spanned across both, what would
you say was the best decade?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Oh gosh, that is really really tricky because when I
think of it in terms of songs, it's a time
that was the nineties and.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That was your signature and me Susie's World was over
two thousand episodes. I was reading of you and me
you did That's right.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
We recorded over five years, so I'd go to the
need him for two weeks of every month from Auckland,
I'd lie down, record, record, then go home and store.
And we did that for five years. So a very
special part of my life, and by the sounds of it,
a whole several generations of Kiwi's lives as well.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, you must still have people coming up to you
all the time and going I used to sit and
watch you.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Oh yeah, I love it. And you know, through COVID
and things like that, got reintroduced to a new generation
of Kiwi's which was absolutely adorable. But you know, I
still love that the Naughties had Susie's World. Susie's were
the thing, but it still touched the whole generation of
several generations. And now I've got young scientists coming up
(13:38):
to me and saying, look, I'm going to put that
down to you. You inspired me to embark on a
world of science.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You just got WHOA.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Mean a lot to you.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Oh yeah. Well, one of the main reasons we made
Susie's Ward was because I was robber science myself as
a kid, and but there were all questions that I
had wanted answered as a child. You know, why is
the sky blue? How can boodsit on power lines without
getting electrocuted? What happens when we eat baked bean?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
How do the boods sit on the power lines? Out
of interest?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I'm really proud of you for not asking the other
questions because they are not ear grounded, right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, grounded, So if they touched the ground at the
same time. Yeah, order when you look back at those
iconic shows through those years, I mean you used to
wear some really bright clothing, right, I mean your personality
is bright, but the clothing may have been brighter.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Yeah, definitely, it was cosmic cosmic.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yes, if I.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Had a face on, I'd be able to send your
photograph of what I'm wearing today, though, TI dyed electric
blue and pink, and.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You do love a tight height.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, really bright neon sort of colors I remember.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, definitely need to get your house busts or something.
I remember that cosmic brand color.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Tuna was another one. They're all just bright colors, and
that they kind of come back. I mean Barbie, you know,
the Barbie movie kind of brought all that back. So
this song, you know you were just singing before It's
our time you know where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And did you know it was going to be such
a success when you started singing it?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Well, I'd love to be able to take full cunt
for that song and you and me and Studi's Lord
and all the rest of it. But I'm a cog
in an amazing will of talented people who created those programs,
and I very luckily one of about eighty people who
interviewed or auditioned got the role.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So did send me another's audition for that that gig?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:32):
Yeah, yeh.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
There were lots of people that auditioned because it had
already been going for a year before I joined it. Yeah,
but the wonderful Pauline Cooper had been presenting it for
nearly a year. They threw open the doors and they've
got a telephone call. I'd been with the Early Bird
Show with Russell ruther Yould Doodle Doo. Russell.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You say it was aimed at preschoolers. I feel like
I was a lot older watching it. That makes me go,
oh Jesus, was I just a bit slow on it.
I didn't realize it was a the pre scholars, but
I watched a lot of it. We're going to put
you on the spot now, because you've been through those decades.
As John I said, you've had big hit shows in
both those decades. Susie, what was your favorite decade?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Oh, it is so hard. I'm going to have to say.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, Susie, you're so nice. You just can't. I don't
think you're going to offend a decade feelings decades.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Oh look, it's like choosing a favorite child. How can
you do that? They're both good for so many different breaks.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, you're gonna sit on the fence on this one.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
She's doing a trademark. Ben boys, good on you.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It's annoying, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But I get it, I get it, get it right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, you've all got the positive points. Oh, Susie, listen.
Always love catching up with you. Appreciate your time and
thank you for joining us my pleasure.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
That's not how you say goodbye to Susie.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yes, now you're doing it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah you go, you go take it away, Susie.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
See you see yea later, it's time to say goodbye.
See you see year later. We've really got to play
Goodbye my friend.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh, not just preschoolers.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
A that was for everyone's that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
To get into fashion regrets, regrets including Megan, you show
us a photo of the thinner c eyebrows we've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
We're going to share it too, because you know, I
feel like I wasn't alone in that trend.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
They had wonerful arches on them, a lot of mc
donald's golden arches.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
But thinner Donald's fries are thinner than the other front. Okay, yeah, tiny,
look permanently surprised.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Maybe that's what I was going for reflecting.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
We will.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We'll get into our fashion and our crimes after eight
o'clock on the show. But speaking of all old things
from mistery, I don't know if you've heard this, Meghan.
We played this a few times but before you're on
the show. This is one of Johnny Pryor's first ever.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Here we go. I knew I was. I set the
timer on this week is to win. This particular bit
of audio was going to.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Come any radio you got to. I mean, this is
the universe a run to. This is your final show,
the big finale too, you know, the emotional big finale.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
They call this, Megan is wholesome workplace bullying, the.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Last voice break, Little Johnny Pryor, He says, the tape
case has been sped up to make his voice sound
a little different. No, he's just a lot younger, well
brushead and tarnished me. Yes, Little Pepper is step too
young to be on radio. Haven't listened to Little Johnny
prior Access Radio A no Am Hello you was Johnny Pryor.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
So much post CAF forty four with the we'll stop there,
same time, same place at five o'clock for another great
show in the series, and they get coming up.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Next to five past six.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, that's my love for today, and not only today,
that's my love for ever.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
This was my last shift on Access Communica.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I want to thank you people to try to leave
on Regyah for giving me the opportunity work on the great,
great community stations, great community legends. You take the arrogance
of the extended goodbye as well. I guarantee the two
people listening didn't get thank you to my mom and dad.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Now we're talking about it because we are looking at
the nineties versus the naughties, which is the best decade.
We want to know old school technology, you thrashed, I.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Think sometimes think nostalgia is a lot sweeter in memory
than reality. Like if we went back to ninety ninety eight,
it would be an enormous inconvenience technology with what would
become accustomed. Yeah, yeah, you know, but you have fond
of memories of a simpler time, don't you. Did you
ever make a mix tape for anyone? And you do?
(19:46):
And that was basically like a marriage proposal.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Wasn't It would record songs off the radio, your seat,
get to your friends.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Annoyed with people like me talking over the intros and outros.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And songs, you know, spoke for Daisy. Yeah uh, But
we're going to talk about technology that you're thresh. We
did mention an educated gen Z producer Grace on dial
up Internet earlier today, which this was a triggering sound
effect for all of us trying his best to connect
(20:18):
to the internet.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
The internet is.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Thinking about it. How are you worthy of me? Today?
The Internet would decide, it's.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So weird now because you're like, who are you dilating?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
No one asked any question, and.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Why did it not answer?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Sometimes sometimes I didn't want you to look on the internet.
It would be a good thing. It's very open now,
and be.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Honest, it's probably quite good if you went back to
that too. You kid, right, but what was technology you
guys thresh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Going to go back to you know, Iconic New Zealander
John A. Lomu was just an amazing rugby player of
fun New Zealand. And he had a PlayStation game, Joonah
Lomu Rugby. And I found some comments online yesterday, so
I love playing this. It was amazing when you were
Jina you could just fend off everyone. So he was like,
he was just amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well, I guess if it's called John O Loomio, but
you can't have him being tackled and injured.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Commentary now little still said dune little don at the
bottom with the long one digitally a demented more there,
it's a penalty in front.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Can you get to him?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Wonder ball there, little one. That that's extra coming from
a game. And sometimes they wouldn't say the player's name
a couple of times like Josh Camfield. So every time
we get the ball, no matter what he was doing,
there just a godfield like it was exciting. Sometimes he
wasn't doing something exact sounds.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like they just got one taking one take only for
their voiceover. Guy, I remember playing it, go this is
like real life.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I know now you're looking at your It definitely isn't
like real life. But it was an amazing game.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No, now you look making mock it. What are you?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I remember hiring a PlayStation one from the DVD or
the video store because we didn't have one, so we'd
go and hire.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
It for the weekend.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, we'd get crashed Bandicoat or Spiral the Dragon and
you'd have it for the weekend and take it back.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
They still stand at the crash Mandicut. We've got like
they redid the old games back. You play them now
on the new versions of PlayStation Still really good. It's
still good, Yeah, really fun.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Love that still the test of time for me. It
was you could hire you know, the arcade machines and
you go to your friend's house if it was your
friend's birthday and his parents would have hired the arcade machines.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
This is wild to think.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Street Fight and they always squeeze it into the laundry
and have an extension card like dangling into the kitchen
to plug the thing, and you just spent all weekend
playing street Fighter. Boom whenever they do their move, they'd
like to say what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
That's pretty cool you could do that. I think Marcell
only had like one of those games in a Fish
and Chip shops.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Jez, that would have been a popular hot spot.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, so you couldn't really hire it for the weeknd,
but that's pretty The.
Speaker 2 (22:49):

of the fun there was designing your own roller coasters,
watching it go around the circuit, and then at the
end finding out why it was ultra extreme.

And also, I say here go. Roller Coaster Tycoon was
a stereo a series of construction and management simulation games
about building and management, managing your own amusement park.

It was hours and hours.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Someone's pet the pants. Yeah, going to mop that mess
up and be a nightmare managing an amusement park. I
really appreciate. I played a similar game, Larry the Lounge
Lizard on computer. Larry was a bit of a sleasable
and slow and boring. Yeah. It was if you go
around all these chrish leisure l Larry, Yeah, and you
go around all these dubious establishments, and I don't know why,
(26:14):
I don't know, I don't know what the point of
the game was.

This is Larry bragging about his weird life.
Speaker 2 (26:21):

to you by Hello Fresh the experts and tastes that
ken we save. It's a really fun week. We're trying
to decide with your help, which is the best decade
the nineties or the noughties. Then on Friday we're going
to play music entirely from that decade for the whole show.
But it's up to you which which decade you reckon
is the best.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's been a lot of fun reflecting going back down
Nostalgias Street. But what's also quite confronting is the younger
members of the hits. This whole week is completely going
over your head.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I know, which is said a moment just before the show.
We were talking about dial up internet.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And we're trying to produce the graces twenty two too old,
Leonardo DiCaprio, Now a couple of years five is the
cutof then you're a geriatric? But what you said, can
you load and the dial up internet noise? And you
gave a blank look saying what is that? No idea?
And to be fair, you've never had to deal with
(00:59):
the burd and in pain that was dial up internet.
It's never been a thing in your life. You just
clicked onto the internet booms there wherever.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You are without having a plug in and go through
the phone system. So for younger members listening right now,
there's something we had to do back in the day.
We're dial up to get on the Internet through the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Grace is like, why are you dialing? Who are you dialing?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The Internet?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Mate? You call the Internet?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And it was excruciating. Yeah, and sometimes you go through
the whole process and it wouldn't even connect to the Internet.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Here's the sound. If you've dialed up the Internet before,
you'll know the sound.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What is that number?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The Internet?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It doesn't give out as number to everyone and Internet
thinking if you're worthy of joining it idea.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, that's one sounds like it's not going to connect.
And we're all the where you go, you get and then.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Someone will pick up the phone and they hear like
a noise like that. They're like, I ain't tears the
phone on the Internet. It's both at the same time, Yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It all ran through the same line, your phone line
and your internet.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You kids don't know how good you go.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So that was that was I can't even remember what
I looked at on the Internet back in the day, I.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Just downloaded songs on lime wire.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh yeah, that was kind of like Apple Music, wasn't
it was? Was it illegal?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, it hugely illegal lime wire it though? Was it napster?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
The original one.
Speaker 2 (02:40):

the movies and things. One of the first ones where
you could down is how's he going?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Much in Queenstown. In Queenstown, do you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Remember trying to download a picture and it just like

you preferred the most. We're going to cover various categories celebrities, movies,
TV shows, songs, whatever, and then Friday, whichever the winning one,
We're going to dedicate the entire show to that to
(03:39):
that era, and right now the fashion faux pas of
years gone by. I think we need to front foot
this too. As you look back in your cringe at
some of your your fashion options or decisions. But then
you're like, well, at the time it was, it was
in the moment.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You were in the moment, and usually you weren't the
only one like other people. There's a reason you were
doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, doing it wearing my valure tracksit with juicy across
my but what about it?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, I love saying that to the kids.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm like, you know when they dressed like that, I'm like,
one day you look back and you regret that these.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Enjoy it now.
Speaker 3 (04:15):

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Well yeah, great now you think they are now, but
you all look back.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
We all do, right, Yeah, even when you look back
at some of the stuff you used to say the
slang like that's jiggy.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Oh god, I don't remember saying that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
You obviously weren't cool.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Okay, So we're going to do fashion regrets today because
there's so much we can cover off, and within ourselves,
there's so much we can cover off. This's just one
thing each, all right for now, Megan, you go.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
First, Well, I'm going to have to go with my eyebrows.
I've found a picture of early two thousands and the
berey there, I'd plucked them within an inch of their life,
and you're right, they were bigger arched. So I did
look quite surprised.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
They caught me by surprise. But I imagine again at the
time and the moment, the higher the brow, the more
sophisticated the brown.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, so they're very thin. But also like when brows
started coming back in, I had to use like a
serum to encourage them to grow brow.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Back, because now stop staring at your eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You've got great eyebrows, now, don't you.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Around nineteen times begger than they were. That's a great
great eyebrows. Now at the time, the slender.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And you look very neutral about things.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, John, what are you going to pack?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Oh god, I was trying to thinking about this last night.
There was a period there where I was wearing a
bead necklace like some sort of.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But but some people can pull off a bead if
you're like a chill dudefing at the beach and stuff,
No you're not. You're a great age spot.

I think even a bead bracelet as well some earrings
just like a calmer.

you doing? And your parents actually when you're like shut up, mom,
should what do you know? They're actually know the voice
of reason.

his heart.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Everyone was doing thann eyebrows when I was doing it.
No one else is doing a big hoop earing it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
He was very sexual too. He would make love to
you too.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Looked it up.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
His Nicholas had diamonds and was worth like sixteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Twelve dollars. I they go all up. You can but
more if you wanted to get the key actually cut
for your doing. But I said, open the door.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's quite.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
All right, Taylor, help me help me out.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Taylor's your fashion faux past from years.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
So, growing up in the early two thousands, I had
very dark hair, and where I was from in Crinola,
everyone had blonde hair. So I really want a blonde hair.
So I put a crapload of lemon in my hair
and that absolutely killed it. And then my mom told
me about this thing called sun in and I sprayed
it all over my hand. I got a beautiful orange.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Hew.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
The idea was you sprayed it and and then you
went out in the sun. Yeah, yeah, slowly lighted.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
It and it definitely did but a bit too brassy
for my liking.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I honestly I did bleached ginola in lemon juice too
when I was a teenager, and I really think that
is solely responsible for my currents. Someone, I've got to
look forward to two more years ago. So what were
your fashion faux past from years gone by? We'll go
to Toto on a teary good morning. Hello, here you go,
We're doing well, come back with us and cringe. What
(10:02):
was it for you?
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (10:04):
Look the very late nineteen seventies, I thought I was
so uber cool. I had a toweling boob tube or
the boot.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
So that was the material, same material as a towel.
You say you was, and.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
Looked and it was a dusky pink no list.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
I thought it was so cool if I just.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Got out of the shower or.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Are you around for the whale tail, which was you
would have a low riding trouser and then your thong
poking out of the top.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You might be mortified to learn that that's making a comeback.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I saw it the other day at the Sylvia Park
and I was like, I didn't know if she had
forgotten to put the bells on, very taggable, like you
really just want to go hang.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Like that's strength.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, and you're talking about you here too. You had
a couple of strings dangling.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Trying to be ginger spice, and I had two. I
had brown hair, but two blonde streaks at the front.
I did myself.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Oh yeah, I imagine when you're eating that they'd become
quite problem to get into your mouth and stuff. Today, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Like constantly growing out with regrowths.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
That jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We're doing nineties v Naughties this week, trying to decide
which is the bit of error, and we're talking to
some wonderful guests from yester year. Uh, in particular this lady,
the nation's babysitter. I mean, if you had the option
to be rebursed and her is your biological mother. I
think you choose her every time when if you had
an option.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
B sorry my mum.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, oh you still love your mum now. But if
it was an option to suck back into a womb,
come back out of a womb. I'll stop talking, Suji Cato,
Susi are you.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
We're doing good. Always nice to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Likewise, tripped it A lived with you was just a
week ago.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm sorry, awful.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
It was lovely. He was honest behavior here at his
gorgeous wife with him, and he was just the.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Only time Susan has ever been Downbeaten's liking life this
board idiot.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Oh, Susie, we were doing a bit of reflecting this
this week. It was a bit of a competition, to
be honest, deciding which was the better decade, the nineties
or the noughties. Now you've spanned across both, what would
you say was the best decade?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Oh gosh, that is really really tricky because when I
think of it in terms of songs, it's a time
that was the nineties and.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
That was your signature and me Susie's World was over
two thousand episodes. I was reading of you and me
you did That's right.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
We recorded over five years, so I'd go to the
need him for two weeks of every month from Auckland,
I'd lie down, record, record, then go home and store.
And we did that for five years. So a very
special part of my life, and by the sounds of it,
a whole several generations of Kiwi's lives as well.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, you must still have people coming up to you
all the time and going I used to sit and
watch you.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Oh yeah, I love it. And you know, through COVID
and things like that, got reintroduced to a new generation
of Kiwi's which was absolutely adorable. But you know, I
still love that the Naughties had Susie's World. Susie's were
the thing, but it still touched the whole generation of
several generations. And now I've got young scientists coming up
(13:38):
to me and saying, look, I'm going to put that
down to you. You inspired me to embark on a
world of science.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You just got WHOA.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Mean a lot to you.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Oh yeah. Well, one of the main reasons we made
Susie's Ward was because I was robber science myself as
a kid, and but there were all questions that I
had wanted answered as a child. You know, why is
the sky blue? How can boodsit on power lines without
getting electrocuted? What happens when we eat baked bean?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
How do the boods sit on the power lines? Out
of interest?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I'm really proud of you for not asking the other
questions because they are not ear grounded, right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, grounded, So if they touched the ground at the
same time. Yeah, order when you look back at those
iconic shows through those years, I mean you used to
wear some really bright clothing, right, I mean your personality
is bright, but the clothing may have been brighter.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Yeah, definitely, it was cosmic cosmic.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yes, if I.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Had a face on, I'd be able to send your
photograph of what I'm wearing today, though, TI dyed electric
blue and pink, and.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You do love a tight height.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, really bright neon sort of colors I remember.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, definitely need to get your house busts or something.
I remember that cosmic brand color.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Tuna was another one. They're all just bright colors, and
that they kind of come back. I mean Barbie, you know,
the Barbie movie kind of brought all that back. So
this song, you know you were just singing before It's
our time you know where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And did you know it was going to be such
a success when you started singing it?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Well, I'd love to be able to take full cunt
for that song and you and me and Studi's Lord
and all the rest of it. But I'm a cog
in an amazing will of talented people who created those programs,
and I very luckily one of about eighty people who
interviewed or auditioned got the role.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So did send me another's audition for that that gig?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (15:32):
Yeah, yeh.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
There were lots of people that auditioned because it had
already been going for a year before I joined it. Yeah,
but the wonderful Pauline Cooper had been presenting it for
nearly a year. They threw open the doors and they've
got a telephone call. I'd been with the Early Bird
Show with Russell ruther Yould Doodle Doo. Russell.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You say it was aimed at preschoolers. I feel like
I was a lot older watching it. That makes me go,
oh Jesus, was I just a bit slow on it.
I didn't realize it was a the pre scholars, but
I watched a lot of it. We're going to put
you on the spot now, because you've been through those decades.
As John I said, you've had big hit shows in
both those decades. Susie, what was your favorite decade?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Oh, it is so hard. I'm going to have to say.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, Susie, you're so nice. You just can't. I don't
think you're going to offend a decade feelings decades.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Oh look, it's like choosing a favorite child. How can
you do that? They're both good for so many different breaks.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, you're gonna sit on the fence on this one.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
She's doing a trademark. Ben boys, good on you.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It's annoying, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
But I get it, I get it, get it right.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, you've all got the positive points. Oh, Susie, listen.
Always love catching up with you. Appreciate your time and
thank you for joining us my pleasure.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
That's not how you say goodbye to Susie.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yes, now you're doing it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah you go, you go take it away, Susie.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
See you see yea later, it's time to say goodbye.
See you see year later. We've really got to play
Goodbye my friend.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Oh, not just preschoolers.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
A that was for everyone's that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
To get into fashion regrets, regrets including Megan, you show
us a photo of the thinner c eyebrows we've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
We're going to share it too, because you know, I
feel like I wasn't alone in that trend.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
They had wonerful arches on them, a lot of mc
donald's golden arches.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
But thinner Donald's fries are thinner than the other front. Okay, yeah, tiny,
look permanently surprised.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Maybe that's what I was going for reflecting.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
We will.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
We'll get into our fashion and our crimes after eight
o'clock on the show. But speaking of all old things
from mistery, I don't know if you've heard this, Meghan.
We played this a few times but before you're on
the show. This is one of Johnny Pryor's first ever.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Here we go. I knew I was. I set the
timer on this week is to win. This particular bit
of audio was going to.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Come any radio you got to. I mean, this is
the universe a run to. This is your final show,
the big finale too, you know, the emotional big finale.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
They call this, Megan is wholesome workplace bullying, the.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Last voice break, Little Johnny Pryor, He says, the tape
case has been sped up to make his voice sound
a little different. No, he's just a lot younger, well
brushead and tarnished me. Yes, Little Pepper is step too
young to be on radio. Haven't listened to Little Johnny
prior Access Radio A no Am Hello you was Johnny Pryor.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
So much post CAF forty four with the we'll stop there,
same time, same place at five o'clock for another great
show in the series, and they get coming up.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Next to five past six.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, that's my love for today, and not only today,
that's my love for ever.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
This was my last shift on Access Communica.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I want to thank you people to try to leave
on Regyah for giving me the opportunity work on the great,
great community stations, great community legends. You take the arrogance
of the extended goodbye as well. I guarantee the two
people listening didn't get thank you to my mom and dad.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Now we're talking about it because we are looking at
the nineties versus the naughties, which is the best decade.
We want to know old school technology, you thrashed, I.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Think sometimes think nostalgia is a lot sweeter in memory
than reality. Like if we went back to ninety ninety eight,
it would be an enormous inconvenience technology with what would
become accustomed. Yeah, yeah, you know, but you have fond
of memories of a simpler time, don't you. Did you
ever make a mix tape for anyone? And you do?
(19:46):
And that was basically like a marriage proposal.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Wasn't It would record songs off the radio, your seat,
get to your friends.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Annoyed with people like me talking over the intros and outros.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And songs, you know, spoke for Daisy. Yeah uh, But
we're going to talk about technology that you're thresh. We
did mention an educated gen Z producer Grace on dial
up Internet earlier today, which this was a triggering sound
effect for all of us trying his best to connect
(20:18):
to the internet.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
The internet is.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Thinking about it. How are you worthy of me? Today?
The Internet would decide, it's.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So weird now because you're like, who are you dilating?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
No one asked any question, and.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Why did it not answer?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Sometimes sometimes I didn't want you to look on the internet.
It would be a good thing. It's very open now,
and be.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Honest, it's probably quite good if you went back to
that too. You kid, right, but what was technology you
guys thresh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Going to go back to you know, Iconic New Zealander
John A. Lomu was just an amazing rugby player of
fun New Zealand. And he had a PlayStation game, Joonah
Lomu Rugby. And I found some comments online yesterday, so
I love playing this. It was amazing when you were
Jina you could just fend off everyone. So he was like,
he was just amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well, I guess if it's called John O Loomio, but
you can't have him being tackled and injured.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Commentary now little still said dune little don at the
bottom with the long one digitally a demented more there,
it's a penalty in front.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Can you get to him?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Wonder ball there, little one. That that's extra coming from
a game. And sometimes they wouldn't say the player's name
a couple of times like Josh Camfield. So every time
we get the ball, no matter what he was doing,
there just a godfield like it was exciting. Sometimes he
wasn't doing something exact sounds.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like they just got one taking one take only for
their voiceover. Guy, I remember playing it, go this is
like real life.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I know now you're looking at your It definitely isn't
like real life. But it was an amazing game.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
No, now you look making mock it. What are you?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I remember hiring a PlayStation one from the DVD or
the video store because we didn't have one, so we'd
go and hire.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
It for the weekend.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, we'd get crashed Bandicoat or Spiral the Dragon and
you'd have it for the weekend and take it back.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
They still stand at the crash Mandicut. We've got like
they redid the old games back. You play them now
on the new versions of PlayStation Still really good. It's
still good, Yeah, really fun.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Love that still the test of time for me. It
was you could hire you know, the arcade machines and
you go to your friend's house if it was your
friend's birthday and his parents would have hired the arcade machines.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
This is wild to think.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Street Fight and they always squeeze it into the laundry
and have an extension card like dangling into the kitchen
to plug the thing, and you just spent all weekend
playing street Fighter. Boom whenever they do their move, they'd
like to say what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
That's pretty cool you could do that. I think Marcell
only had like one of those games in a Fish
and Chip shops.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Jez, that would have been a popular hot spot.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, so you couldn't really hire it for the weeknd,
but that's pretty The.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast had, the great messages coming
through fourth seven on the text machine guys. Hearing the
dial up Internet sound effects reminded me of trying to
download a Noodie peck on dial up. Was like the
slowest strip tease ever from.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Parloe's the foreheaded.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Mouth mouthing slowly come down like the digital curtain.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
There's a simpler time. We want to know, Andrew the
hats the old school technology that you just thrashed.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Was it Jona Loan with Rugby was a crash Bandicut?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Sonic? The Hedgehog and Sega Master System?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
That was? That was a beauty. I remember any kindly
brought me Siga one, but my friend got the Master's system.
It's been a lot of days over at John McGinnis's house.
Alex the kid, he's the kid probably now alex fully
grown out, who's been beaten down by life?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Now?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But that was a fun game? What was it for you? Trina?
Speaker 9 (23:55):
Hello?

Atled Megan?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
What was she like?
Speaker 9 (24:20):
She was? She was pretty awesome sewers.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, this Megan's pretty good as well.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
You'll be heavy to know what thurious?
Speaker 9 (24:29):
They're actually quite clever, I thought, because the game that
I was holding in this photo was a game Boy.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The game boy did Yeah?
Speaker 9 (24:40):
It was Hound howld It was like a a Brett
compared to the game did you guys play Now? But anyway,
the lady's very leased to me was Susy Cato and
the phone promotion that rework.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's very cool.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Paper plus were there we go holding a game Boy
and they would have bought that was hours of fun?
Was I never had the chance to have a game?
Was that like you put it in your pocket? Portable job?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah? Take around with you?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Ax, Good morning to you?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Hi, good morning? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
The games the tech that you used to thrash.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Back in the day.
Speaker 9 (25:19):
It was roller Coaster Tycoon.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh what was roller coaster Tycoon?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (25:24):
You got to build your own feet parks. And most
of the fun there was designing your own roller coasters,
watching it go around the circuit, and then at the
end finding out why it was ultra extreme.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
And also, I say here go. Roller Coaster Tycoon was
a stereo a series of construction and management simulation games
about building and management, managing your own amusement park.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Make them go right, and run and run and run
and round.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
It was hours and hours.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Someone's pet the pants. Yeah, going to mop that mess
up and be a nightmare managing an amusement park. I
really appreciate. I played a similar game, Larry the Lounge
Lizard on computer. Larry was a bit of a sleasable
and slow and boring. Yeah. It was if you go
around all these chrish leisure l Larry, Yeah, and you
go around all these dubious establishments, and I don't know why,
(26:14):
I don't know, I don't know what the point of
the game was.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
This is Larry bragging about his weird life.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
This is a sad life, a poor Larry, sorry for it.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Maybe that was the point of the game.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
The Hits that jonaan Ben Podcast.

Your voices sound a lot deeper than I remember.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Yeah, I was three, So that's how life works.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You grow up and your voice gets deeper.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Understand. The video was taken by your dad and he
just wanted to entertain friends and family, and he couldn't
send it over emails because it was too big, and
put it on YouTube?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Yeah, that's what it was. Email so on YouTube, make
it private.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
And then he was like, Sean Maker public, did you
make money off something like that?
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Well, yeah, ID to play on it. So so do
we get a bit from that?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
And that I understand has helped you guys get a
better schooling throughout the years.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Uh. Yeah, and for our little brothers.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
