Speaker 1 (00:20):
All things are either one and not at the Eco
Lives this week.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well that's why it change is as good as a holiday,
as they used to say in the old days before
they produce staty old days, I suppose. But our guest
couldn't make it up to the Ecologe Warren shortly. He couldn't
make it up to the Ecologe for the transport reasons
that I'm going to that. So it's just do it
here and look and why not. That's how fastal we
are that we can just you know, we can adapt.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, there's the there's a beauty of podcasting is an
adapt I mean all good podcasts. I mean I've been
doing research on what makes a good podcast. You know,
the podcasts which are really fine.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Why are they playing? Why are they doing so well?
And it comes down to a few key things.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Research toop research their ludge and energy I suppose that
they need to.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Bring to as well.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And of course we've been of the a couple of
weeks because you chose a lot in the Oasis concert.

I hope it was worth it. Yeah you should have.
I could. I've seen chey stuff. I was seen some
cherry stuff over the weekend. I don't want to go
into it, but I really want to give you that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I don't know how much anxiety you've here before, but.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Tell you that that's for sure doing a podcast. Stand

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Our guest various scial be today, long TV career, he said,
a long radio career, comedy career, and probably most inpressively
as a listed us to do a half hours podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Jerry Collber Well, thank you very much. You're thanks for
you go.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I want to say I've been trying to kick on
this podcast for weeks now. The text, I mean, it
got ease downs in eaven out back, something got quite abusive.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But you're available. I mean I want to give to that.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Why you're unavailable, but some of your excuses were wearing
a little thing. Originally I was excited having you coming on.
I was going to make the whole thing. Why okay, Jeremy,
call it this is your life kind of thing and
bring in the special guests and family members.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But it's taking so long and over there a lot
of molassed away in the time, you know, so it's
not so. But ye're here now and I'm here said anything. Yeah,
I think that they were getting I'm saying I had
a good week for one week and couldn't and you
were like, photos, please a little bit here because it
just comes as the trim there.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Let's come down a little bit so by yeah, that's right.
Well and sitting looking better now, Jeremy, that's for sure.
You've been on a lot of podcasts already. What's the
worst podcast to be on?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
My last? We can getting us in the top five.
I can really just be in trove. Yeah, I mean,
we'll maybe. I's just had a question at the end.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Of we tend to we tend to rise up, so
when we don't do a lot podcast actually.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So yes, that's why.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, No, I don't they feel like just a bit
to your book put us, I guess, but a big
fan of yours, smooth, I'm moving as met and so I
thought when the opportunity came along, I thought, I'll put
it off for a few weeks and then do it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I don't I don't really know how you book with
this means, but it sounds very good.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, it's very weird, seeing every weird that that's what
we're going to call this podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I say your bit for us and leave having met
wood Top a bit with you. I want to pay
to talk. Well that's my one chapter.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Because we said to the paws it be O were
getting paid to talk, and they said, okay, there's a
negotiation went on and eventually we talked about it so
much then we were getting paid.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
We said, let's just call the podcast national, but I'm
not getting paid for it. Let's just agree to talk
about it later, okay on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Hey, let's jew back into the past into where it
will begin for you.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Look, Born of Esport, which down in fascinating well but
grew up in the now.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
What what does that like? I'm going to North I
do grow up and living. Yes, I wasn't going gay school,
there's goodness. Okay. I touched on this earlier. Jermy, Look,
we don't have a huge research budget.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
On this.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, Okay, so I google and probably cover it. Let's
lean thing I do the westpot from.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So I'm just wondering what will be easy if you
just ran along with that, and see you did grab
and so I'll start it again. I'm born of Esport
and then grabbing and then of course what was that
my closet to Livan spend a lot of time in
Parmis North actually, which was kind of a way high
school Invinity Palmers North was I living brunch.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay, so yeah, that stuff's going to get cat out of. Yeah,
it's more it's guest building up who you are, the
fact that you came from somewhere down and all. You know, well,
it's it's funny to say that if you've been born
on we Sport is I don't know if you were
South Island born at all. No, I'm I'm the West.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You know. It's a huge passport though, because obviously when
you go down to the Sothile and on the door, Cleander,
you know, I'll call me there to my face and
then I say, well make sure I was born in Bristport.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Just like that.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You're right, mate, definitely think that's he's there that's something
I was born Greenouse. It's only about West Coast as well.
You know it's this. You could learn the art on
the West Coast for thirty four years, but if you're
born there, he's going over the West coast coast. You know.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I left from as a couple years old and my
parents obviously pointed bed there, but because I was born
there the passport. Yeah, as as someone who did.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Do it quite Google, you've written the buyers, not at
the mines, for all the mines over in recent It
was a year I was in the in the computing
side and flew out to Calhooley, which is as most
people know.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I was stripping brothels and Giant mine and talked them
how to use the computer system which is written for them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Later.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, just starting to kick in, feeling my needs. That
kicks cobldingto programming us a bit still, the.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Skills we like that. You know that movie.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Through the Baby in the space space Cowboys, because there's
this old child satellite that only these old astronauts confect.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So they had the retailer. It's that would be true.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Apparently there are some still some of those programs bubbling around,
and you know, because there were massive computers, they had
to invest them and it's cost too much for a place,
and so there's still.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
A couple going, so they probably they won't break down.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And I'll bet the cool sort of computing go to
get into a scool idea and so of scouts torches
and at.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Least the young kids nowadays we have a clue how
to do that that's under the bood and everythink of
that exactly, exactly exactly you want to nswer this, well, no,
I was just wondering how you were from the mining it.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
So that's good question because ste your life it's probably yeah,
we're always always doing like did the radio at Messy
and stand up we saw we did the cap in
reviews at Massive University, but there was.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Never a career, and so the career was computing and
then beast way to change careers.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Have your marriage split up. So I organized that and
she unded up going it with a toast master from
our wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So not cliche, not the beast man toast master, and
that slowed up and there was an opportunity for me
to do a bit of we examine.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And then did you wind see any winning. We revised,
but we know where she would have done.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah yeah, good friends when we're skinning. Either way, i'd
be right for we were the discussion when we split up.
We didn't have kids, and we were just standing in
the picture and we said, we don't have kids. We've
got this house. But that's you know that hasn't gone
out much. He just call it quits. She was like, yeah, no,
drop just one week on my week off.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, And I got all the sympathy,
of course, for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
She was with the toast masters that everyone gave me
the summer then, and I was left the wind when
less than I yea, I sat down what I really
want to do and it wasn't computing, even though that
was good money. So I took about a ninety percent
payker and went back to writing ads in Palmerston, North,
which is meaning were even something like they didn't seem
(08:18):
to be a job out there that actually existed that
I wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
People said, what do you want to do? Or you
know what, I didn't really have.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I want to be a lost down but that was
never going to happen. Because I say that, I say it,
but it was really weird. So I'd spent my time
in money around and tunnels, walking danger with the jobs
that might be there, and it was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Very fairy you sort of copyrighting for ads. But then
you go, don't want to do that. I mean, god,
the performance wasn't really part of it then, you know,
how about you?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, well, my dad was a doctor, as I mentioned,
and so he had a very academics sort of been,
and of course going to Parmison was I with them rush.
There was quite an academic push that you went and
got qualifications at university, and there was when people sort
of the school job counselor or whatever, they were cooled
when they actually what you wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I was like, just to do comedy like around it was.
There was not a valid choice back then.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Now you can you can do the reason that in
radio radio school whatever you want to do, but it
wasn't an option thating, so you just sort of well
that's another point. I remember my school counselor said to me,
what do you want to do, as you know, and
I said, I want to be a school counselor. Yeah,
you didn't know a lot to stay and he didn't
know whether it should be fadded or are you taking.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The person you know how you coming from my job. Yes,
you mentioned that you've.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Got to You've got a couple of young daughters now
do Italian belief en and twelve, so my tess alight
the older that's slightly your own in yours. You can't
help as a parent to think about the future with
jobs and the AI.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And sometimes I day, I'm just doing to be off
and I can think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Nowadays you can get a court radio course at school.
You can rock band one O one. You can go
to Ruinas or his band here if you want to
be when I was at school, and I argue with you,
say with you, none of that stuff. If you want
to take a path less travel you really he had
to do it and without sounding like a pre burner,
(10:13):
I know, I think it's so easy sometimes now well,
I think of the thing now is you know we
don't know what the future work forces even go a
little and so you know, my kid has been into
editing little videos that she does on her.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Phone, and rather than tell her off, I'm like, there
might be the bigger demand thing in the future.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I'm taking a step further is that. Okay, they were
learning to edit that gender stuff on that phone, but
it's going so fast, you'll speaking trying to say cut down,
cut out and that, and we take care of as well.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So the part that they can't.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Recreate is the life experience, the stuff that will make
them make something creative in the first place.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The the back endings to be locked after do easily
slott into that boomer mom gone out.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, I'm actually at Italian to the burners, and I'm
way more progressive than you.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, we're all come around.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, I just you know, we're just we're in this
phase where you know, even I'm saying, HEYI is going
to take everyone's jaws.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It could, but it might not. And so whatever your
kids into, you sort of go go you know what,
I can't. I can't tell you to book.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Down that cricket bat or whatever, because that might be
the biggest playing going in the future.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
My son is just finished the second year target. Yeah, okay,
you funny enough that.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Don't quite dispro working and getting their degrees of studying,
but they're partying quite hard.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The social side. It's quite a big I'm a.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
VP now that university is just as important as it
ever has been. But the partying side of it is
actually probably on a part as important as the study
side of it, because whatever jobs start studying for, you know,
counting or whatever, will have an AI aspect in the future.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And the ones that hit the job so the ones
set again there to socialized.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
To get on with people and have a one on
one interaction with people, and you learn that by actually
interacting the basics people putting your phones down and all
that sort of stuff, and if nothing else, being on
Castle Street and you're hopefully you're doing all that. You know,
you might be films out on your phone back, you're
not on your doing you are actually spending time with people.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So I think it's things.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
This isn't it, because you know, you're saying a lot
of things that you learned socializing a university. But I
think when the mics aund on, when there's not a
chemist's quite awkward talking.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
To me, isn't it really is? It's always on his part,
it's always on his phone. It's you make a good point,
and massily I did.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I studied English and computing, which is basically I wanted
to study the opposite of whatever my father had studied,
he was a doctor, and all the extra curricular things
I want to have led to what I do out.
But in the early days it was really weird. It
was a blend of English and computer because I think
through computing in in the last couple of years, because
I was like, I don't know when it's getting all
(13:00):
the jobs in English. It seems most people are already
speak it. But what it did do was I went
out into a computer workforce where the com you guys,
really didn't talk to humans, and I did it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I can commute that.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
So I was sort of like an interpret if you like,
of the computing ideas to you know, to the management
that never sit in a computer does.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Sound hit people, But I do still kind of want
to do Leed's degree about it. I just like, you
know as a parent that you watched them party.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Of course you wanted to watch Buggy B say that
kind of stuff from the first I mean, I'm actually
thinking there was actually a place where, especially for the
quieter kids, you know, they meet people, you know, socials,
and it's often like, yeah, it might be your future.
The university socialized Yeah you did well. You know, I
(13:49):
probably feel like I'm ranging about the whole AI think
what I learned trying to say how some podcasts it's sure,
but my point is that I do get concerned about
the AI stuff, technology or because we don't know you guys. Again,
But on a positive note, I think that perhaps I
will ironically be the very thing that saves us. The
(14:11):
pendulum will swing right back and we realize we need
human proper direction down.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
All this crap, and humanity will avail so I can do.
I can do all the edment and that we get
back to socialism.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I will still do all the born and stuff that
all there, but we will get back to normal three
about six, Well, that will be part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
That'll be part of it. But you know, that's what
you do with your sex frog once stuff to you.
What I do with fine is up to me and Ryan. Okay,
all right, we'll.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Just get a hold that floorboard or numerous thoughts there
for just amount of will throw that break and will
be back very sure.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Have bread.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Yeah, wow's back from the air break. I'll be enjoyed
that as much as we did joining us.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
As Jeremy call it, TV legends, Bose's institution here in
many ways we'll call about the institution.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You're a bit later on.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Commy, you just said, I'm just want to get this
out quickly. Often taking place here do stand ups really
proper level? And I take my head off to any
greedy that does, you know, the nerves that kind of stuff,
live stuff and seeing that. So it's that really affects
my weak worrying about it that he has trying you
do stuff. Always be a little look free gap because
I like to be in controller cheek hory.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Your cousin he did a bit of a comebay or
a little cheeko. He listens live stuff. Might have some
of this footage? You ever had those those little cheese
and the plastic slices? What's all there about? What's with
that ship? We've got anyone here from from Hastings? Yeah,
(15:59):
what's all that ship? What's what's all there about? You
want to see these great ship? What is the ship?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What are yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
To achieve that in? But it's beging back to the
comedy there.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Jemmy, there's more comedians than he's going to numbing the
chefs about me.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It wouldn't surprise me. And so I'm going some of bad.
It doesn't really matter. I'm not here to critique who's
good and who's bad. But what are you worrying about?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Any sort of job, whether it be sort of news
that call, they're training sort of stuff, working in another
industry for a while, and what only is that word
in the real world, surely must be good for comedy.
You know, you're having different sort of job in nine
to five.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Equal that into that. Of course.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I think that if you have done like a nine
to five and a sort of like a pseudo government organization,
as I have, I think what it really does is
make you grateful for doing comedy's because your tea breaks
aren't timed and you know you're not there. You know,
it's not about how long you're there, it's about the
job that you do. So I think the teachers to
teach you would be grateful.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
But but having seen that, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
There's a new generation coming through that just so good. Yeah,
Although I would say they're an American owner of this
comedy club in New York storing at Herman And he
said this was some years ago, and he said, in
America there used to be like a thousand comedians and
a hundred good ones. Now we've got ten thousand comedians
and one hundred good ones. Yeah kind of what I
(17:25):
loa like that of course is always gotta be good
unders Dad, and that's energy year Roll can just naturally
just get it. But back to your point there, the
Regidivat's a day Brian model.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He worked in an office like that.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's how he's able to channel that into that into
that show. There's others that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's always going to come out. It was ready to
be radio.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It must have been great drawing on past stories, but
also someone just brilliant observers, you know, like you look
at Tom Sainsbury and the sort of characters that he does,
You go, that's someone who's.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Loved and met with a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But he obviously has just got a really keen eye.
Was a word for years in an office and would
remembering them.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah. Yeah, See he had a long career in radio, comedy,
TV and stuff. What's what's what's the most fun? Well?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The Dream was always a panel show that we propped
several panel shows, and I think I've said it a
few times. Paul Ego came up with a name for
me because we used to make a lot of pilots
for these shows and invariably they didn't work. Seven Days
was the exception, And yeah, it's a bit it's not
exactly won't now, but I've got to say the word
(18:36):
because it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
The joke he came on. He called me stewarts because
of fun pilots, which is both census David, but it's
still you understand where he's coming from. So yeah, so
seven Days was the dream and it still isn't It
still going to which is unbelievable. So yeah, that that
idea of just chatting with your mates and getting paid
(19:00):
for it is fantastic. Yeah, it doesn't get better. You know,
you guys do a similar thing.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And that was you know, and that that show began,
and it was kind of a hat straight away if
I remember lady, so, who's the first show?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I think we've gone like that where.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
When you sat down to watch the first show, go
to here and I genuinely laughed a little bit of
it was sort of some couldn't believe that they let
us get away that we were finding on TV, and
of course that's been TV was the only medium if
you like, And yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And part of it was no, this is actually really fun.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It was really fun and so yeah, it's often shows
you prout and you're not quite sure because you do
close to it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
That one just because there were other people on it
and I'd laugh at him. It was funny.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, yeah, there's always going to be on I I've
been on a hanging an a half dozen.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Times of place, and I was always, as to say.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Quite ovous because all of you guys sort of I
think we're a lot more familiar with each other.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And if you had comedy sort of thing and artists
foun an outside.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You never made me feel that way about aligne. I
don't come in and you'd say, just just do what
you'd normally do, shure. I was always I'm going I
got a really never won. We was at the end, yeah,
I think, And that's the best thing, you know, Like
I think the biggest A lot of people often, you know,
write a lot of jokes about the news, and come on,
(20:15):
they can't wait to get those jokes out, which is great.
But I've got my advice, and not that I offer
a lot of advice because I don't know what I'm
doing either, but there's listen, yeah, just listen. I mean
you'll find something and you'll join in.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
How much is a it as sort of the jokes
that people have hadn't get out head looking. The best
stuff is.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Always the head looking, but the jokes have to be
there as a baseline. So so most of my stuff
is written for me and and yeah, and the comedians
know what the news stories are there any shows them
into of course, it doesn't matter what of those other ways.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
We would be amos cast scape and yeah, I was
just looking at it.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
We were up to speakle which without getting too boble.
I mean, it's get the heyday of TV. I was
talking out to be commiches down too.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
But then there was a bit of TV audience as
dwindles and is through the technology stuff we talked about
briefly the show too, a bit of a change and
format a little bit. Yeah, moved earlier, moved earlier. There
is that more family.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Changed, some of the full time hosts a little bit
to training sort of certainly got a room. I've got
room of crops. Yeah, dying and Paul Yeah, thoughts on
that terrible Yeah, I hated it, still hated to the
day and it still hurts the.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
End of the day. Yeah, but wrong move.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
I mean it's obviously it's hard to know retrospectively, but
you know, love they moved at seven thirty, which is
more family time, which is weird in this day and
age when you can stream anything at any time.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
But anyway, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's been sixtysful and that's lots of the dummy great
job of that, And I would argue that it's a
bit of a different show as a season will show
Paul and I to rescue at that time or was
that a male or female thing or a combination.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You'd have to ask the executors.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But I can't help feeling that three white males fronting
a show was not particularly I don't know, but this
is that all comedy so start, So that isn't that
you know, we won't change something that's well, yeah, I
agree with you, but I also, you know, I'm really
happy to be living in an age where we can
you know, we do focus on diversity and giving all
voices he heard and you know, all that sort of stuff,
(22:34):
and it's yeah, just unfortunately poor Do I think we
suffered suffer through that?
Speaker 9 (22:40):
And yes I would, I would argue the poor Yeah,
that could be another name for it. You know that
was and everything else is interchangeable.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yes, well they do it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
They do still come on the show and the final
show of twenty twenty five, they came on and just
nailed it and it was just amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You know, some of the producers that were saying, wow,
that was good, and I was figure, well, just know
what I could do and they rooms.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You know, there's a lot more professionally men old actually
love the toys.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah you can't really just very small and shrinking. So
you just don't want to. You don't want to throw
your toys really, but you hurt them. So you mean
you need company.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You're you know, you stand up, your your your comedy,
your radio, your game shows, hosting.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The panel shows, TV shows and sing We did it
all her wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I don't know, it just got tiredly, you know, just
wall much like yourself. You know, No, that wasn't lies sence,
it all got wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
What I was trying to do there was that with.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
The podcast research again, if you can hone in on
like like a mental issue or something in the rating
and stuffing like that. I don't know, mental health that
say you don't need mental health stuff you want not really,
maybe try something.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Doesn't get anybody. Yeah, like you got pun the whole combat,
you're still sticking to the Yeah, still still that getting
Mary's break up and you could or no, no Mega.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And I and yet so yeah, that's pretty good. I'm
just just yeah, he was here, you know, in the
middle of winter in Auckland. Are great, you're feeling those
were great one the Black Dog in a way it
was is the great?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Really.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I I remember thinking, remember seeing those English TV shows,
which always great, You're how does people learn those towns?
And then I realized liventl right now, Yeah, as a
drink and everything got sexual function the yeah, that's pys Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's still have been there in the whole life. So
it's not really a you've talked about that boy of
you on podcasts. It's just acome back a dog amount
orderly hearts.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
We're talking sexual function, a red car dysfunction, and many
other sexial issues.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Thanks going about for the show. When did it all
start going on?
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Here?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah? I do apologize. I misunderstood the word dysfunction. I
realize now that that's like a problem, but I think
you said cexul but it was an enhanced performance.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Set for that function. Yeah, I thought. I thought there's
where we were going with the on. Sorry, I'm very good.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Look, I had to spread myself in here here if
I could for Mommy there that was Jimmy was a
busy man.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But don't you be stressful.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
The adrenaline of doing shows anxiety this sort of stuff.
What do you do to relax?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
What? What did you do?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Saunas or massage that kind of stuff pickable? Yeah, yeah,
two taken off New Zealand. Actually it's the bloom itsiness
Mantlake's kind of gym, that kind of stuff. But it's
for you to be a swimmer. I had a long
time ago. I always look around when you say that,
because I get tea. He's got a seven days team
about going on about how I used to be this woman.
You know, you bring it up and makes me feel.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Like it's a sinner. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm not
at all, not at all. As I say, you go
that far enough in time. We're also Look, I'm a
bit of a business ardea. I've trial it with few
mates and one of you guys want to get involved.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It's a cheap way of getting the sworn into you
from the home without having to do the structural side
of it all, do therese take you little tenth things.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It's called castle, but also to carring them. I've got a.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Highland high okay, So what it is. I always sell
a component like the hot rocks and and you set it.
You'll park your car and you sit in there as
well and slim so if you're in three or four
of you mates, you probably get four or five of
your mates in that vehicle just for towels around you.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You pump the heat right up in the car and
you can put hot.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Water and some water on the rocks and stuff that's
in the middle there, and just haad of like a
steaming sauna in your car, right, say, you know when
you don't.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Wonder, you know, then you get the take the thing.
I'm going to pick up the kids.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
You know, a lot of sweat might go into the
poulstry and stuff. But it's it's an issue. You probably
put a towel down on that before and I like it. Yeah, yeah,
hot rod, it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wasn't your first part over there. Actually just taken the
heat from the exhaust and sort of fun.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, we had we had down there some issues with
that obviously, you know, you finish the say you take
this sort of out of the vehicle, you put them
outs down, drying around the block as it out cools
it down, you say, pick up the kids. FROs called
the auto Sauda just an idea, just an idea, and
that's why we're here to discussed.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I normally I jump on board, but I've got some
other infusements. Bread break actually okay, to take another break.
Pretty lot of god.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Welling back to page talking probably the last time during
called it's Lee and I.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
So we might as well delve into you golture the moments.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
There we are during a nationwide tour and leaving shows
and sort of halfway through at the moment it's really good.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The audiences have been amazing.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Fear to say, it feels like the cost of living's biking,
but they've been small and put perfectly formed and really
supportively speen idea to say that these tour we've had.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
So far and it must be back for you. He's
doing that sort of enc and stuff and then stand
up stuff. But it must be great. Get you on
the road and in that vie with they move of
other people on tour and stuff you know, Yeah, it's
really good. Four days.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I think four days was the start of the tour
or four nights if you like, and that was enough.
I don't know how bands do it, you know, like
months on end they must I don't know how they
don't go crazy, but yeah, four nights was great. We
had a great time where we're already just go where
we're speaktive homes. At the end of that, I owe
you sort of tracking down the four days of both.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Your caps during the interest and how different of these
line shows that people can go to compared to the
EV Show and the TV show. Obviously it is what
it is.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I've show you you can have some entertainment beforehands people
can come out.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And how to make the whold. Yeah, we all do
stand up in the first half.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
There's always it's a big thing that every one of
us has to do seven and that's a stand up
and of course there's a new seven Mates every year,
so there's a sort of during the earlier part of
the year, everyone it's like talking to each have you
got your seven yet?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Have you got your seven? So that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
So we do a new seven which is now and
then second half is just us doing seven days as
you've seen on TV. Although there to say that the
TV shows diverged somewhat from a live show live show,
definitely not so from that experience perhaps. So you get
these these this team out there and they'll do their
set innutes, you know, someday.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Really kills it. And then the next night you go
out and you know, do you change the order of people?
Know we done, there's pretty much the same order.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
But it's funny that there is a dynamic, as you know,
performing to live audience, sometimes an audience can just be
a little bit different. And I'm certainly right now even
still trying a massage and to set and distruct. It's
been a couple of times when you when you do
a joke and that work last night, but not to
it's anyone ever going out and just take him that
the persons set from out before.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I mean, just do their whole broaching and got a
from that nets for fishing up.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
It's a great idea of my right, Yeah, we're not really.
It was just sabotage that we're on the comedy Sea.
Well sabotage. See what happens in the second half. We've
been all on stage together doing seven days. That's when
we attack each other and underwined each other.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
And yeah, I suppose to go a week the room,
but I member the banding is of the spurt to
do a band gig and having to be the United
dat two hundred people, but we lost their jobs at
the local prison works. We had to go there playing
And you know, I know I'll answers there either. So
you can't let some of do the comedy as well
(30:56):
and say, hey, we're doing the dance condition out and
big prizes and wonderf benches or stuff.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
And they don't wan to bar. Yeah, every audience has
a personality, right, and we're lucky they've been good all
the too. Correct.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You travel a lot with the Sunday shows, like airports
that kind of stuffy candies festival.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I was at the airport the other day coming back
from a cherry which thing I was doing. Well, you're
at us, and you know you've ever big nights.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Sometimes when you get when you're traveling and you know
you get short out for the show maps you've got
to catch it, catch fight.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I was walking past and I noticed, you know, you're
checking on on your gear.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That's got you've got to take your gear the sort
of the fragile and overweight sort of secon ye you know,
for equipment. I sort of they should have that for people,
you know, because you know, I mean, if you've had
a massive night, you're the one that's friendship. You need
to go to a check in counter where someone can
deal with you. You look a you're ten minutes late
for your flight, you don't have a boarding pass, you
(31:50):
don't over you've got vomit on your shirt. That's where
you need to check you rage. Yeah, you're friendship, you know.
I put back on that because I've got another idea,
which is can go with that when you chicken? Yeah,
I just think because the reason we have security is
because of the threat of teer, right, but I think
there should be planes that fly with Ta tat risk,
(32:11):
no security, just bree line no security, and just like OS.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I don't think it's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
It's one of yours and you're rest everything but food
poisoning with food in I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Forget about arsenal and the rest of it. You have
to get me into where I want to go.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
So got the name, I like it, So anywhere you
got to go so Friday autun that's that's the other
day if we're going down right, have you hear this?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And then I wrote to a rural on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
And then we've got what else we've got Nelson Chi Palming,
North Wellington, christ Church.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, I think I think that's coptable.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Just parting rthor out of the home and come and
get Every year they say, s we cut Palming out.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
We've done it every year and it's not do it again.
Let's not tire them out. And I'm very much if
you build it, they will come home. And it was
who's going on? And there's always the one that they're going, well,
it's not selling that well. And then on the day
book so obviously that's still available for a lot of
those showers. And how do they get hold of those
serial days?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Not killed on n Zo go there find it, although yeah,
there's a bit of me that's like if you can't
find it, take it through show it's no.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, it's not like researching for a podcast had to google.
It's not there.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah, I've just got some message like computer our whole
Ye'll I've told.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
You there later, but thanks very much. In apologies at
the same time. For the last fifty five minutes or so,
hud oh, this has been been a pleasure and a
privileged you.
Speaker 2 (33:39):

Speaker 7 (34:15):
Yeah,
This is an iHeart Radio New Zealand podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Welcome to a week's page sword worth, three Hearts and south.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
All things are either one and not at the Eco
Lives this week.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well that's why it change is as good as a holiday,
as they used to say in the old days before
they produce staty old days, I suppose. But our guest
couldn't make it up to the Ecologe Warren shortly. He couldn't
make it up to the Ecologe for the transport reasons
that I'm going to that. So it's just do it
here and look and why not. That's how fastal we
are that we can just you know, we can adapt.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I suppose.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, there's the there's a beauty of podcasting is an
adapt I mean all good podcasts. I mean I've been
doing research on what makes a good podcast. You know,
the podcasts which are really fine.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Why are they playing? Why are they doing so well?
And it comes down to a few key things.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Research toop research their ludge and energy I suppose that
they need to.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Bring to as well.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
And of course we've been of the a couple of
weeks because you chose a lot in the Oasis concert.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I think in that the weekend and I did it. Yeah,
I did. It was good. Yes, it was pretty pretty good.
I hope it was worth it. Yeah you should have.
I could. I've seen chey stuff. I was seen some
cherry stuff over the weekend. I don't want to go
into it, but I really want to give you that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I don't know how much anxiety you've here before, but.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Tell you that that's for sure doing a podcast. Stand
back to you if you met is your listing.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
The podcast paid to talk? We'll pay to talk. You're
not paid to listen, but we sai. We hope you do.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Our guest various scial be today, long TV career, he said,
a long radio career, comedy career, and probably most inpressively
as a listed us to do a half hours podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Jerry Collber Well, thank you very much. You're thanks for
you go.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I want to say I've been trying to kick on
this podcast for weeks now. The text, I mean, it
got ease downs in eaven out back, something got quite abusive.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But you're available. I mean I want to give to that.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Why you're unavailable, but some of your excuses were wearing
a little thing. Originally I was excited having you coming on.
I was going to make the whole thing. Why okay, Jeremy,
call it this is your life kind of thing and
bring in the special guests and family members.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But it's taking so long and over there a lot
of molassed away in the time, you know, so it's
not so. But ye're here now and I'm here said anything. Yeah,
I think that they were getting I'm saying I had
a good week for one week and couldn't and you
were like, photos, please a little bit here because it
just comes as the trim there.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Let's come down a little bit so by yeah, that's right.
Well and sitting looking better now, Jeremy, that's for sure.
You've been on a lot of podcasts already. What's the
worst podcast to be on?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
My last? We can getting us in the top five.
I can really just be in trove. Yeah, I mean,
we'll maybe. I's just had a question at the end.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Of we tend to we tend to rise up, so
when we don't do a lot podcast actually.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So yes, that's why.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, No, I don't they feel like just a bit
to your book put us, I guess, but a big
fan of yours, smooth, I'm moving as met and so I
thought when the opportunity came along, I thought, I'll put
it off for a few weeks and then do it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I don't I don't really know how you book with
this means, but it sounds very good.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, it's very weird, seeing every weird that that's what
we're going to call this podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I say your bit for us and leave having met
wood Top a bit with you. I want to pay
to talk. Well that's my one chapter.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Because we said to the paws it be O were
getting paid to talk, and they said, okay, there's a
negotiation went on and eventually we talked about it so
much then we were getting paid.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
We said, let's just call the podcast national, but I'm
not getting paid for it. Let's just agree to talk
about it later, okay on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Hey, let's jew back into the past into where it
will begin for you.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Look, Born of Esport, which down in fascinating well but
grew up in the now.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
What what does that like? I'm going to North I
do grow up and living. Yes, I wasn't going gay school,
there's goodness. Okay. I touched on this earlier. Jermy, Look,
we don't have a huge research budget.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
On this.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, Okay, so I google and probably cover it. Let's
lean thing I do the westpot from.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So I'm just wondering what will be easy if you
just ran along with that, and see you did grab
and so I'll start it again. I'm born of Esport
and then grabbing and then of course what was that
my closet to Livan spend a lot of time in
Parmis North actually, which was kind of a way high
school Invinity Palmers North was I living brunch.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay, so yeah, that stuff's going to get cat out of. Yeah,
it's more it's guest building up who you are, the
fact that you came from somewhere down and all. You know, well,
it's it's funny to say that if you've been born
on we Sport is I don't know if you were
South Island born at all. No, I'm I'm the West.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You know. It's a huge passport though, because obviously when
you go down to the Sothile and on the door, Cleander,
you know, I'll call me there to my face and
then I say, well make sure I was born in Bristport.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Just like that.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You're right, mate, definitely think that's he's there that's something
I was born Greenouse. It's only about West Coast as well.
You know it's this. You could learn the art on
the West Coast for thirty four years, but if you're
born there, he's going over the West coast coast. You know.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I left from as a couple years old and my
parents obviously pointed bed there, but because I was born
there the passport. Yeah, as as someone who did.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Do it quite Google, you've written the buyers, not at
the mines, for all the mines over in recent It
was a year I was in the in the computing
side and flew out to Calhooley, which is as most
people know.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I was stripping brothels and Giant mine and talked them
how to use the computer system which is written for them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Later.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, just starting to kick in, feeling my needs. That
kicks cobldingto programming us a bit still, the.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Skills we like that. You know that movie.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Through the Baby in the space space Cowboys, because there's
this old child satellite that only these old astronauts confect.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So they had the retailer. It's that would be true.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Apparently there are some still some of those programs bubbling around,
and you know, because there were massive computers, they had
to invest them and it's cost too much for a place,
and so there's still.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
A couple going, so they probably they won't break down.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And I'll bet the cool sort of computing go to
get into a scool idea and so of scouts torches
and at.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Least the young kids nowadays we have a clue how
to do that that's under the bood and everythink of
that exactly, exactly exactly you want to nswer this, well, no,
I was just wondering how you were from the mining it.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
So that's good question because ste your life it's probably yeah,
we're always always doing like did the radio at Messy
and stand up we saw we did the cap in
reviews at Massive University, but there was.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Never a career, and so the career was computing and
then beast way to change careers.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Have your marriage split up. So I organized that and
she unded up going it with a toast master from
our wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So not cliche, not the beast man toast master, and
that slowed up and there was an opportunity for me
to do a bit of we examine.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And then did you wind see any winning. We revised,
but we know where she would have done.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah yeah, good friends when we're skinning. Either way, i'd
be right for we were the discussion when we split up.
We didn't have kids, and we were just standing in
the picture and we said, we don't have kids. We've
got this house. But that's you know that hasn't gone
out much. He just call it quits. She was like, yeah, no,
drop just one week on my week off.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, And I got all the sympathy,
of course, for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
She was with the toast masters that everyone gave me
the summer then, and I was left the wind when
less than I yea, I sat down what I really
want to do and it wasn't computing, even though that
was good money. So I took about a ninety percent
payker and went back to writing ads in Palmerston, North,
which is meaning were even something like they didn't seem
(08:18):
to be a job out there that actually existed that
I wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
People said, what do you want to do? Or you
know what, I didn't really have.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I want to be a lost down but that was
never going to happen. Because I say that, I say it,
but it was really weird. So I'd spent my time
in money around and tunnels, walking danger with the jobs
that might be there, and it was.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Very fairy you sort of copyrighting for ads. But then
you go, don't want to do that. I mean, god,
the performance wasn't really part of it then, you know,
how about you?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, well, my dad was a doctor, as I mentioned,
and so he had a very academics sort of been,
and of course going to Parmison was I with them rush.
There was quite an academic push that you went and
got qualifications at university, and there was when people sort
of the school job counselor or whatever, they were cooled
when they actually what you wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I was like, just to do comedy like around it was.
There was not a valid choice back then.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Now you can you can do the reason that in
radio radio school whatever you want to do, but it
wasn't an option thating, so you just sort of well
that's another point. I remember my school counselor said to me,
what do you want to do, as you know, and
I said, I want to be a school counselor. Yeah,
you didn't know a lot to stay and he didn't
know whether it should be fadded or are you taking.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
The person you know how you coming from my job. Yes,
you mentioned that you've.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Got to You've got a couple of young daughters now
do Italian belief en and twelve, so my tess alight
the older that's slightly your own in yours. You can't
help as a parent to think about the future with
jobs and the AI.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And sometimes I day, I'm just doing to be off
and I can think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Nowadays you can get a court radio course at school.
You can rock band one O one. You can go
to Ruinas or his band here if you want to
be when I was at school, and I argue with you,
say with you, none of that stuff. If you want
to take a path less travel you really he had
to do it and without sounding like a pre burner,
(10:13):
I know, I think it's so easy sometimes now well,
I think of the thing now is you know we
don't know what the future work forces even go a
little and so you know, my kid has been into
editing little videos that she does on her.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Phone, and rather than tell her off, I'm like, there
might be the bigger demand thing in the future.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I'm taking a step further is that. Okay, they were
learning to edit that gender stuff on that phone, but
it's going so fast, you'll speaking trying to say cut down,
cut out and that, and we take care of as well.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So the part that they can't.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Recreate is the life experience, the stuff that will make
them make something creative in the first place.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
The the back endings to be locked after do easily
slott into that boomer mom gone out.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, I'm actually at Italian to the burners, and I'm
way more progressive than you.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, we're all come around.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, I just you know, we're just we're in this
phase where you know, even I'm saying, HEYI is going
to take everyone's jaws.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
It could, but it might not. And so whatever your
kids into, you sort of go go you know what,
I can't. I can't tell you to book.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Down that cricket bat or whatever, because that might be
the biggest playing going in the future.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
My son is just finished the second year target. Yeah, okay,
you funny enough that.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Don't quite dispro working and getting their degrees of studying,
but they're partying quite hard.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The social side. It's quite a big I'm a.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
VP now that university is just as important as it
ever has been. But the partying side of it is
actually probably on a part as important as the study
side of it, because whatever jobs start studying for, you know,
counting or whatever, will have an AI aspect in the future.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And the ones that hit the job so the ones
set again there to socialized.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
To get on with people and have a one on
one interaction with people, and you learn that by actually
interacting the basics people putting your phones down and all
that sort of stuff, and if nothing else, being on
Castle Street and you're hopefully you're doing all that. You know,
you might be films out on your phone back, you're
not on your doing you are actually spending time with people.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So I think it's things.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
This isn't it, because you know, you're saying a lot
of things that you learned socializing a university. But I
think when the mics aund on, when there's not a
chemist's quite awkward talking.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
To me, isn't it really is? It's always on his part,
it's always on his phone. It's you make a good point,
and massily I did.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I studied English and computing, which is basically I wanted
to study the opposite of whatever my father had studied,
he was a doctor, and all the extra curricular things
I want to have led to what I do out.
But in the early days it was really weird. It
was a blend of English and computer because I think
through computing in in the last couple of years, because
I was like, I don't know when it's getting all
(13:00):
the jobs in English. It seems most people are already
speak it. But what it did do was I went
out into a computer workforce where the com you guys,
really didn't talk to humans, and I did it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I can commute that.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
So I was sort of like an interpret if you like,
of the computing ideas to you know, to the management
that never sit in a computer does.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Sound hit people, But I do still kind of want
to do Leed's degree about it. I just like, you
know as a parent that you watched them party.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Of course you wanted to watch Buggy B say that
kind of stuff from the first I mean, I'm actually
thinking there was actually a place where, especially for the
quieter kids, you know, they meet people, you know, socials,
and it's often like, yeah, it might be your future.
The university socialized Yeah you did well. You know, I
(13:49):
probably feel like I'm ranging about the whole AI think
what I learned trying to say how some podcasts it's sure,
but my point is that I do get concerned about
the AI stuff, technology or because we don't know you guys. Again,
But on a positive note, I think that perhaps I
will ironically be the very thing that saves us. The
(14:11):
pendulum will swing right back and we realize we need
human proper direction down.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
All this crap, and humanity will avail so I can do.
I can do all the edment and that we get
back to socialism.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I will still do all the born and stuff that
all there, but we will get back to normal three
about six, Well, that will be part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
That'll be part of it. But you know, that's what
you do with your sex frog once stuff to you.
What I do with fine is up to me and Ryan. Okay,
all right, we'll.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Just get a hold that floorboard or numerous thoughts there
for just amount of will throw that break and will
be back very sure.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Have bread.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Yeah, wow's back from the air break. I'll be enjoyed
that as much as we did joining us.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
As Jeremy call it, TV legends, Bose's institution here in
many ways we'll call about the institution.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You're a bit later on.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Commy, you just said, I'm just want to get this
out quickly. Often taking place here do stand ups really
proper level? And I take my head off to any
greedy that does, you know, the nerves that kind of stuff,
live stuff and seeing that. So it's that really affects
my weak worrying about it that he has trying you
do stuff. Always be a little look free gap because
I like to be in controller cheek hory.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Your cousin he did a bit of a comebay or
a little cheeko. He listens live stuff. Might have some
of this footage? You ever had those those little cheese
and the plastic slices? What's all there about? What's with
that ship? We've got anyone here from from Hastings? Yeah,
(15:59):
what's all that ship? What's what's all there about? You
want to see these great ship? What is the ship?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What are yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
To achieve that in? But it's beging back to the
comedy there.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Jemmy, there's more comedians than he's going to numbing the
chefs about me.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It wouldn't surprise me. And so I'm going some of bad.
It doesn't really matter. I'm not here to critique who's
good and who's bad. But what are you worrying about?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Any sort of job, whether it be sort of news
that call, they're training sort of stuff, working in another
industry for a while, and what only is that word
in the real world, surely must be good for comedy.
You know, you're having different sort of job in nine
to five.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Equal that into that. Of course.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I think that if you have done like a nine
to five and a sort of like a pseudo government organization,
as I have, I think what it really does is
make you grateful for doing comedy's because your tea breaks
aren't timed and you know you're not there. You know,
it's not about how long you're there, it's about the
job that you do. So I think the teachers to
teach you would be grateful.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
But but having seen that, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
There's a new generation coming through that just so good. Yeah,
Although I would say they're an American owner of this
comedy club in New York storing at Herman And he
said this was some years ago, and he said, in
America there used to be like a thousand comedians and
a hundred good ones. Now we've got ten thousand comedians
and one hundred good ones. Yeah kind of what I
(17:25):
loa like that of course is always gotta be good
unders Dad, and that's energy year Roll can just naturally
just get it. But back to your point there, the
Regidivat's a day Brian model.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He worked in an office like that.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's how he's able to channel that into that into
that show. There's others that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
It's always going to come out. It was ready to
be radio.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It must have been great drawing on past stories, but
also someone just brilliant observers, you know, like you look
at Tom Sainsbury and the sort of characters that he does,
You go, that's someone who's.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Loved and met with a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
But he obviously has just got a really keen eye.
Was a word for years in an office and would
remembering them.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah. Yeah, See he had a long career in radio, comedy,
TV and stuff. What's what's what's the most fun? Well?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
The Dream was always a panel show that we propped
several panel shows, and I think I've said it a
few times. Paul Ego came up with a name for
me because we used to make a lot of pilots
for these shows and invariably they didn't work. Seven Days
was the exception, And yeah, it's a bit it's not
exactly won't now, but I've got to say the word
(18:36):
because it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
The joke he came on. He called me stewarts because
of fun pilots, which is both census David, but it's
still you understand where he's coming from. So yeah, so
seven Days was the dream and it still isn't It
still going to which is unbelievable. So yeah, that that
idea of just chatting with your mates and getting paid
(19:00):
for it is fantastic. Yeah, it doesn't get better. You know,
you guys do a similar thing.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And that was you know, and that that show began,
and it was kind of a hat straight away if
I remember lady, so, who's the first show?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I think we've gone like that where.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
When you sat down to watch the first show, go
to here and I genuinely laughed a little bit of
it was sort of some couldn't believe that they let
us get away that we were finding on TV, and
of course that's been TV was the only medium if
you like, And yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And part of it was no, this is actually really fun.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It was really fun and so yeah, it's often shows
you prout and you're not quite sure because you do
close to it.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
That one just because there were other people on it
and I'd laugh at him. It was funny.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, yeah, there's always going to be on I I've
been on a hanging an a half dozen.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Times of place, and I was always, as to say.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Quite ovous because all of you guys sort of I
think we're a lot more familiar with each other.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
And if you had comedy sort of thing and artists
foun an outside.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You never made me feel that way about aligne. I
don't come in and you'd say, just just do what
you'd normally do, shure. I was always I'm going I
got a really never won. We was at the end, yeah,
I think, And that's the best thing, you know, Like
I think the biggest A lot of people often, you know,
write a lot of jokes about the news, and come on,
(20:15):
they can't wait to get those jokes out, which is great.
But I've got my advice, and not that I offer
a lot of advice because I don't know what I'm
doing either, but there's listen, yeah, just listen. I mean
you'll find something and you'll join in.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
How much is a it as sort of the jokes
that people have hadn't get out head looking. The best
stuff is.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Always the head looking, but the jokes have to be
there as a baseline. So so most of my stuff
is written for me and and yeah, and the comedians
know what the news stories are there any shows them
into of course, it doesn't matter what of those other ways.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
We would be amos cast scape and yeah, I was
just looking at it.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
We were up to speakle which without getting too boble.
I mean, it's get the heyday of TV. I was
talking out to be commiches down too.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
But then there was a bit of TV audience as
dwindles and is through the technology stuff we talked about
briefly the show too, a bit of a change and
format a little bit. Yeah, moved earlier, moved earlier. There
is that more family.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Changed, some of the full time hosts a little bit
to training sort of certainly got a room. I've got
room of crops. Yeah, dying and Paul Yeah, thoughts on
that terrible Yeah, I hated it, still hated to the
day and it still hurts the.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
End of the day. Yeah, but wrong move.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
I mean it's obviously it's hard to know retrospectively, but
you know, love they moved at seven thirty, which is
more family time, which is weird in this day and
age when you can stream anything at any time.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
But anyway, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's been sixtysful and that's lots of the dummy great
job of that, And I would argue that it's a
bit of a different show as a season will show
Paul and I to rescue at that time or was
that a male or female thing or a combination.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You'd have to ask the executors.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
But I can't help feeling that three white males fronting
a show was not particularly I don't know, but this
is that all comedy so start, So that isn't that
you know, we won't change something that's well, yeah, I
agree with you, but I also, you know, I'm really
happy to be living in an age where we can
you know, we do focus on diversity and giving all
voices he heard and you know, all that sort of stuff,
(22:34):
and it's yeah, just unfortunately poor Do I think we
suffered suffer through that?
Speaker 9 (22:40):
And yes I would, I would argue the poor Yeah,
that could be another name for it. You know that
was and everything else is interchangeable.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yes, well they do it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
They do still come on the show and the final
show of twenty twenty five, they came on and just
nailed it and it was just amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You know, some of the producers that were saying, wow,
that was good, and I was figure, well, just know
what I could do and they rooms.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You know, there's a lot more professionally men old actually
love the toys.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah you can't really just very small and shrinking. So
you just don't want to. You don't want to throw
your toys really, but you hurt them. So you mean
you need company.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You're you know, you stand up, your your your comedy,
your radio, your game shows, hosting.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The panel shows, TV shows and sing We did it
all her wrong.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I don't know, it just got tiredly, you know, just
wall much like yourself. You know, No, that wasn't lies sence,
it all got wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
What I was trying to do there was that with.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
The podcast research again, if you can hone in on
like like a mental issue or something in the rating
and stuffing like that. I don't know, mental health that
say you don't need mental health stuff you want not really,
maybe try something.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Doesn't get anybody. Yeah, like you got pun the whole combat,
you're still sticking to the Yeah, still still that getting
Mary's break up and you could or no, no Mega.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And I and yet so yeah, that's pretty good. I'm
just just yeah, he was here, you know, in the
middle of winter in Auckland. Are great, you're feeling those
were great one the Black Dog in a way it
was is the great?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Really.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I I remember thinking, remember seeing those English TV shows,
which always great, You're how does people learn those towns?
And then I realized liventl right now, Yeah, as a
drink and everything got sexual function the yeah, that's pys Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's still have been there in the whole life. So
it's not really a you've talked about that boy of
you on podcasts. It's just acome back a dog amount
orderly hearts.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
We're talking sexual function, a red car dysfunction, and many
other sexial issues.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Thanks going about for the show. When did it all
start going on?
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Here?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah? I do apologize. I misunderstood the word dysfunction. I
realize now that that's like a problem, but I think
you said cexul but it was an enhanced performance.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Set for that function. Yeah, I thought. I thought there's
where we were going with the on. Sorry, I'm very good.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Look, I had to spread myself in here here if
I could for Mommy there that was Jimmy was a
busy man.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But don't you be stressful.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
The adrenaline of doing shows anxiety this sort of stuff.
What do you do to relax?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
What? What did you do?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Saunas or massage that kind of stuff pickable? Yeah, yeah,
two taken off New Zealand. Actually it's the bloom itsiness
Mantlake's kind of gym, that kind of stuff. But it's
for you to be a swimmer. I had a long
time ago. I always look around when you say that,
because I get tea. He's got a seven days team
about going on about how I used to be this woman.
You know, you bring it up and makes me feel.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Like it's a sinner. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm not
at all, not at all. As I say, you go
that far enough in time. We're also Look, I'm a
bit of a business ardea. I've trial it with few
mates and one of you guys want to get involved.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It's a cheap way of getting the sworn into you
from the home without having to do the structural side
of it all, do therese take you little tenth things.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It's called castle, but also to carring them. I've got a.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Highland high okay, So what it is. I always sell
a component like the hot rocks and and you set it.
You'll park your car and you sit in there as
well and slim so if you're in three or four
of you mates, you probably get four or five of
your mates in that vehicle just for towels around you.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You pump the heat right up in the car and
you can put hot.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Water and some water on the rocks and stuff that's
in the middle there, and just haad of like a
steaming sauna in your car, right, say, you know when
you don't.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Wonder, you know, then you get the take the thing.
I'm going to pick up the kids.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
You know, a lot of sweat might go into the
poulstry and stuff. But it's it's an issue. You probably
put a towel down on that before and I like it. Yeah, yeah,
hot rod, it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wasn't your first part over there. Actually just taken the
heat from the exhaust and sort of fun.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, we had we had down there some issues with
that obviously, you know, you finish the say you take
this sort of out of the vehicle, you put them
outs down, drying around the block as it out cools
it down, you say, pick up the kids. FROs called
the auto Sauda just an idea, just an idea, and
that's why we're here to discussed.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I normally I jump on board, but I've got some
other infusements. Bread break actually okay, to take another break.
Pretty lot of god.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Welling back to page talking probably the last time during
called it's Lee and I.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
So we might as well delve into you golture the moments.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
There we are during a nationwide tour and leaving shows
and sort of halfway through at the moment it's really good.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The audiences have been amazing.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Fear to say, it feels like the cost of living's biking,
but they've been small and put perfectly formed and really
supportively speen idea to say that these tour we've had.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
So far and it must be back for you. He's
doing that sort of enc and stuff and then stand
up stuff. But it must be great. Get you on
the road and in that vie with they move of
other people on tour and stuff you know, Yeah, it's
really good. Four days.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I think four days was the start of the tour
or four nights if you like, and that was enough.
I don't know how bands do it, you know, like
months on end they must I don't know how they
don't go crazy, but yeah, four nights was great. We
had a great time where we're already just go where
we're speaktive homes. At the end of that, I owe
you sort of tracking down the four days of both.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Your caps during the interest and how different of these
line shows that people can go to compared to the
EV Show and the TV show. Obviously it is what
it is.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I've show you you can have some entertainment beforehands people
can come out.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And how to make the whold. Yeah, we all do
stand up in the first half.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
There's always it's a big thing that every one of
us has to do seven and that's a stand up
and of course there's a new seven Mates every year,
so there's a sort of during the earlier part of
the year, everyone it's like talking to each have you
got your seven yet?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Have you got your seven? So that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
So we do a new seven which is now and
then second half is just us doing seven days as
you've seen on TV. Although there to say that the
TV shows diverged somewhat from a live show live show,
definitely not so from that experience perhaps. So you get
these these this team out there and they'll do their
set innutes, you know, someday.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Really kills it. And then the next night you go
out and you know, do you change the order of people?
Know we done, there's pretty much the same order.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
But it's funny that there is a dynamic, as you know,
performing to live audience, sometimes an audience can just be
a little bit different. And I'm certainly right now even
still trying a massage and to set and distruct. It's
been a couple of times when you when you do
a joke and that work last night, but not to

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
