Good question?

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Why does she like with technology?

Wow, she thought that she'd be proud of them, but
of me.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
But she's not. She's not.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It turns out that that you know, unpride runs deep.
Oh right, shame shaman probably the right word. Yeah, shame
runs Shame runs deep. For her, shame runs deep, and
your voice of that. So what do I need to
just get Beernice Mini involved in this situation?

Speaker 4 (01:30):

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, go and hire a six worker, strap her headicam
to a crooked helmet, and chuck up a newstalks the
b poster in front of you and pound away.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
See how it goes for you.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I think it's my only option.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
She my album.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
If I was to put out an album, it would
be called Shame Runs Deep. It would be a great
name for an album.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Shame runs deep.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
What about just on your gravestone? Would you put that
on your gravestone? Shame runs deep?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, sham is thicker than blood.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Shame.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Actually, every night I wash shame away. It's a really
nice thing. We've got some towels. We've got these hot
towels that TV ins and they put them in the
makeup room. So when you go and take your makeup off,
you've got these beautiful hot.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Roll them up.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Oh years, I've used those and they put a.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Little bit of lavender on them as well. They're so nice.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
And every night I just hot tawel. At the end
of the day, I'm just a shame. I just steam
the shame away and wipe it away. God, it's good.
Can we get some hot tails in here?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Could you imagine walking? And it kills to do some
hot towls.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Just they're quite cheap, the hot tail machines, very European thing.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Hotail machine like fifty buck on temate.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Really, yeah, all right, there must be a microwave. Must
have been microwave. Yeah, like you know when you go
to a barbershop sometimes, Yeah, hot steaming tower afterwards.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
It's like a little griller. It looks like a little grill.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I mean, we've got some mother crap out there, and
the what does it called the shop?

Speaker 4 (03:00):
We've got some crap out there in the shop at.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
The workshop, the radio workshop, we should call it.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
That the radio workshop.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Got my present around the radio workshop this morning, feeling
much better than yesterday. Also that I was. I was
soldering on with quadro yesterday.

the bussy flu.

Speaker 3 (03:22):

I was. It's all like three three thirty. That's that's
a solid. I must have had about fifteen minutes off
to scarf down some look warm sushi from across.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
The road there.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Sorry, that's a that's a solid ten hours down the
content cole My face was black.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Did you get raped into that? Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I can't say, but big thanks coming.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Oh okay, now.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
It was like an a SEC Warriors thing.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
It's all been hurly, just been early around, been earlier.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Ou nomus that you didn't say to Bessy.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
So bussy boy Ben used today he takes me during
the show and he said, who loved Well? It was
nickname related.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Isn't that beard getting into your bussies?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
You should try anditiate the name. The nicknamed the Maltese
falcon off the back of multi like Maltese.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Going how many right? How many Maltese? Yeah you are
the Malti. But the thing is you're the Maltese falcon.
Is that a person who has bad Maltese falcons? And
falcons a bit of a nickname for a person who
runs head first into a pass.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I don't know what the Maltese Falcon was it's a movie. Yeah,
it's a nineteen forty one film with Humphrey Bogart.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Throughout the Malteser and you just eat heaps and Maltese
as while you're doing Maltese.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Well.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
The other one I used to do was I was
the Undertaker, and I would just take the under every
every single game. And I like that because it was
a great character to a dot. But I hate bidding
that under because you're bidding against excitement. Yeah, and I
think this won't happen.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
The overtaker, Oh, the.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Overtaker, and it's just me and the third lane just
gunning and the swift quite good. The overtaker redlining it
in the nowhere there we go, my wi.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
It doesn't go, ma wi. Your manual, isn't it The
old three stage auto just used to chop it down
and be cruising along and third and then you go,
ma wa the second you go nowhere, no order three stage.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
It doesn't have a recounter. It's going to power counter power. Yeah,
my my missus, and this really annoys me. But she
she actually owns a nineteen eighty was it two or
four Commodore and it's like the first commodores that ever existed.
Eighty two. Yeah, it's a red station wagon. It's met

(06:03):
Her granddad bought it brand new in Hamilton in nineteen
eighty two. Wow, And and he drove it for a
bit and then it basically sat in a garage. Is
now sitting in her dad's garage. But for whatever reason,
he entrusted it to her, and so she owns it.
And but I want it, but she doesn't. She hates it.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Cool. Why doesn't you give it to you? It's red?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Is it a station wagon?

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah? Oh, what don't the original station wagons? Yeah? Is
it an s l E?

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Now you're asking me?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Can we give it away? That sounds like a good time.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
No.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I've done that once before, and I hardly regret it.
For the the acc u I don't know if you
remember the ute. Yeah, and had everyone's faces down the
side of it except for mine.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
And much is good when you're driving.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, the petrol camp was running underneath Storm Purpos's mouth.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
That wouldn't bone purpose. I just spent an accident.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
I don't reckon.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
So every time you went to fuel it up, you'd
have to just stuff it down the eager mouth of
storm purpose and for some reason, the petrol caps didn't
quite fit anymore. I suspect it was not the original
petrol cap, but we did burnouts in it one day
and as you're spinning around, the fuel was coming out
of the cap and dribbling down and stripping the paint
of it. But anyway, we ran a promo where we

(07:27):
were promoting a car selling place and they said, I,
we'll just pretend to sell it and I was like,
what's up on that. If you're going to do it,
do it for real. And then we actually sold it
and that broke my heart. So I was the only
person who drove it. So it's a v H nineteen
eighty two VH.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Maybe I'm going to think it's it's a VH. I
think my daddy earlier than that, Dan he had that.
He had the s l E, which was real, it's
a beautiful car.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh yeah, no, no, there's a squeaky floorboard over here. Actually, yes,
that's what it is. It's l a common the station
week that's sick, but it's fucking gutless and it's got that. Yeah,
it's got that. Because this was the first when they
stopped making the Kingswoods because fuel was too expensive. People

(08:24):
want to buy them anymore, and so they made these
things and it's a four cylinder and fuck it's gutless.
And we were mooiring our way down to Wymadi one
day and it basically couldn't get up as hell. And
it was a real delicate thing because with that power gauge,
you got no fucking idea where it's going to change gear,
you know what I meant, Because it's not a roof counter.

(08:44):
It's some other wacky bullshit.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Is it in early auto? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, that's a three stage and it does. Yeah, and
it doesn't have it. It doesn't have a roof counter.
It just it's his power. And yes, we basically came
to a full stop on the on the motor eight.
She's like, all right, I'd rather fucking walk than do
this again.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
In Australia you can get one of those SL's for
five grand.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah, yeah, but what's the condition?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like this says a good and decent neck. Five thousand
bucks and the five liter version, So that l e
V eight five leader.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
No, no, no, that's not what this is. This one's
the four leader, probably one of them leaking. Oh yeah,
three cylinders gone.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Those commonals that Isla had, the blue Verlure interior.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
It was the two tone.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, the two toned silver blue.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Looked like a shark.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I'm pretty sure that they are Australian madea of those
ones made General motors.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well that's why when you go over
there's so many of them. But trying to buy a
commodoal here and you see it. It's like every single
one of them. I mean they've obviously all been thrashed
at bits, but on top of that, they.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
They've all been modern.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Some some bogan's got his hands on them and put
just the rank it like a hood Scooper. It didn't
need it to fucking drill a wing into the.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Boot of it. Hey it was a cool car. Yeah,
you don't need to do all that.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
But do you sit on louvers? Try not to underneath
them on the back when on the back window the
black lovers don't mind them? What were they for the
keep the sun out in Australia? That's probably what it was, right,
because you see them on taranas. You see a little
bad taranas with you.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I reckon they look cool. Did you ever put the
fucking tenfold thing on the wind screen.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
No, but I didn't even work that thing kindiff because
it was oftentimes they sat down a bit from the
wind screen, like they were off about sort of six
inches from the windscreen.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
What about the fucking six other windows that are on
that Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah, I think in Australia it can be brutal though.
You put that thing in the sun in the summer, yeah,
and you need you need some kind of protection because
I mean in their houses and stuff in Australia. Know,
our houses will face north and got a big open
bloody door and we're trying to get as much sun
into a house even as we can. Even in the
summer in Australia, you were hiding from the sun. You

(11:06):
go up to Queensland and they're all the trees all
around their houses. They're in the shade. They've got giant
things over the top of the windows so you can't
see in.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I've told the story before, but my dad's house and
w a used to have mirrored windows to reflect the
heat away from the sun. The problem is there was
a fucking crow nesting outside my outside my bedroom and
every morning when the sun came up, it would catch
its own reflection and attack my window soon as the

(11:35):
sun came up.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Was just those things.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Were the.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Sounds like a lamb stuck up a tree. Yeah, yeah,
terrifying animal.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah, horrible thing.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
What about did you ever put one of those locks
across the Never had.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Never had to.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
I would just rather my car overhead and got stolen
then have to do anything to it when I get out.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah, And I'm just.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Not I don't want fewer smoothing parts in all parts
of my life.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
You know, what about the fluffy or the leather steering
wheel cover that you used to see back in the
day than people because they had those plastic steering wheels
that was really thin, and those things, my god, you
could actually get third degree burns if you held onto
one of those in the summer. So they put those
leather things and you'd have to I remember watching Barbara Billiard,

(12:27):
next door neighbor when I was a kid, put one
of those on her on her arm. I'm pretty sure
it was a horrus humber or whatever. The cars and
you had to string it with a piece of string
all the way through.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
I remember watching it on Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I remember watching is so one of those suckers on
And it's weird memory that I have. I must have
been like four or something, maybe three, is one of
my earliest memories. And I definitely wasn't from a photo
because I've never seen a photo of her steering wheel cover.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Or her doing that.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
It must have happened, must have actually happened a press memory,
but I remember it taking ages. Yeah, well, this is
the thing, This is why I don't want to do
any of that stuff for a car. You know, bumper stickers,
bumper stickers. Did I look at a bumper sticker and
I go, right, So you've gone and bought that somewhere
where the fuck you buy the bumper stickers from from
the bumper sticker shop. Then you've gone out into your driveway,
knelt in the fucking gravel, lined it up perfect. If

(13:23):
you put a sticker on a piece of lego and
you've got to make sure that it's perfect, you're doing
that on the back of your bumper. At no point
in that situation you're like, I'm an asshole. And then
you pull out into traffic with gas grass or ass
no free rides on the back of your car.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, oh yeah, but I used in the day though,
if you had a say eighty nine FM, when the
top of the door came in to compete with ninety
one FM, and if you hadn't eaten an m bumper sticker,
then you you won a price. They'd go around and
they'd look for the bumper sticker and then they'd say
your number plate and if that was it was the
ten thousand dollars bumper stick of that pays. You know.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
It's embarrassing though, when you're a teenager in your family
only has one car and your choice is to not
have a car to use or to use the car
that has a bumper sticker saying radio Rema changing for good,
loves for good.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Okay, that's that's tough. You think, of course you like
as an adult, you know you wouldn't give a ship.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
But I put it on there.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Yes, you own that bumper sticker.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Jesus take the wheel. My mate had a.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Who did the radiom of breakfast back in the day.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Did you have to listen to it in the morning?

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Well, it was in the house. I have no idea
three hand, wasn't it the father son?

Speaker 4 (14:40):
In the hold? They have it like a brick for show.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Sure they it was more of a music show. They
didn't really have wacky topics.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Right, They didn't do how many sexual partners did Mary Magdalen.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Have No nothing crazy. I think they did give away
cassettes though, and bibles.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, big on cassette when they remember that great show
that we did, or we've got it on cassette and
you can get it if you write to po Box
nineteen forty five.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
Christ fuck, they'd love a podcast.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Those fellasn't there replay radio?

Speaker 2 (15:09):
It used to be a think called replay radio. Who
used to advertise it on radio?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Funnily enough, my dad listen to the one show on
Radio Rima. Chuck Missler is his name, So there will
be one personal listening to this. I reckon god on
as an American fella did Bible fuck? My dad went
through a real Bible. He's not a religious, but he
went through a Bible face.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
He's not religious, decided to go to a Bible face.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
That was a fucking nightmare. It was a fucking nightmare
because every time we get past here, it comes to
the fucking Bible. And he's got this radiold Bible and
he scribbled all through the fucking thing.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
And there's like notes inside it and you know these
highlighted passages and all sorts.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
He just decided to what, just to study it.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah, I don't know why he went the night classes
and all sorts.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
But as a result, I was getting fucking waterboarded with
it every opportunity. And he's given it up now he's
renounced just about relapse. The other day, I thought, is
that Bible? I was like, no, no, we're not doing
this again.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I'm pretty sure we used to call up Me and
my friends used to call up Radio Arema like as
a joke. I don't remember what we asked, but there
was in the days when you were bored at home,
used to do phone pranks, used to prank call people.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
Wouldn't have had many other calls. Probably I died. I
think they were quite popular. Still going, Yeah they are
still going group. Yeah, Rema group is still can I
we've only got a couple of minutes. Then we've got
to go to the Inspired and employed guys. But you know,
just every now and again, I'll go through the jobs
on seak dot co don And currently they've got two

(16:48):
announcer jobs at Life of Him Slash Radio a Rema
and there are both advertised for over one hundred k.
And I'm like, can I pretend to be Christian?

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Well, you got the background, you can?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Well says you have to be a follower of Jesus.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Mama, look at your job. Definitely, Mama Ruda along.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
It was quite a diliver. I was talking to my
wife about it. I was like, can I pretend that
I'm Christian and apply for these jobs one.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Hundred per one hundred percent?

Speaker 5 (17:13):
You could? But they're lying, and you can't lie as
a Christian.

the dream and trying to show off to the rest
of the world and stuff, and everybody in Melbourne was
in Australia was locked down and then you're in that.

Speaker 7 (20:18):
But yeah, but then it went down after I come
onto that, and then it went crazy and then you
couldn't even leave your bloody house.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yeah, yeah, it was.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
One there's one case up in the North Island and
we're down south and we're still locked in, and it
was like the like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
You're actually retraumatizing us here. I'm going to change something
to something that I know is quite relatable for a
lot of our audience, because you know, you guys were
I know you would have told this story a billion
times before. But you guys were on the tools back
in the day when you got the idea to try
and make it go of the social media, the video thing.
How how how'd you get out to be honest, how'd

(20:57):
you do it?

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Well?

Speaker 6 (21:01):
We just literally danced around on the job site like
they nearly kind of got this out of there.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Honestly, pretty big we are, yeah, like I mean, bear
trade is not something we wanted to do full time.

Speaker 8 (21:17):
Our whole goal life was to get off the Buddy
job site. And we just started, Yeah, we just started
making videos.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
And everyone was laughing at us, thinking it's not going
to work, and and that we're idiots, and we were
to be honest, and yeah, I guess dressing up as
a girl sometimes dance around your street out the front
of your house can work.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
And was at the time. Was it just whatever you
two thought was funny at the time. Let's just film
that and put it up and see what happens. Has
it changed it all since since it's all grown and
blown up so huge?

Speaker 7 (21:51):
Oh I mean yeah, no, not really, I mean not really.

Speaker 8 (21:55):
Like yesterday we filmed a video where.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
We were hiking on a bird watching tour and saw
some mushrooms on the ground, but they're just they're safe mushrooms,
and then we just picked them up and then we
just film this whole video about our face is being
warped and we're at the side of our life.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
So I mean, it kind of hasn't changed too much.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
No, that actually sounds that sounds ideal. I think it's
fascinating because as a person who also makes some stuff,
visual stuff, the barriers to entry now are so much lower,
So it means the ideas and you guys have been
massive benefits of the situation. The ideas are the king

(22:43):
rather than the fact that there's gatekeepers getting in the way.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
Definitely, definitely it used to be, yeah, exactly like I mean,
you guys might know, but like back to get on
radio or a TV show or even big in some
sort of way back in the day, was you needed
to know someone in industry or get really free and
lucky or almost put into a position, whereas now like
everyone has a chance, which is so cool and even

(23:08):
more so than when we started.

Speaker 8 (23:10):
You know, now it's even harder, like.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
To get traction and even we're finding like our videos
what they what used to cut it doesn't cut it down.

Speaker 8 (23:18):
You're going to get more creative and you know it's
it's there's.

Speaker 7 (23:22):
A lot more competition out there, which is which is good.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
It's investious game. Let's talk some numbers. What are some
of the biggest, biggest view counts on some of the
videos you guys have made?

Speaker 8 (23:32):
Oh, god, we had. I was actually adding up views.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
I was like, I wonder if we've got a billion views,
and I think we're up to like two and a
half billion views in total.

Speaker 8 (23:42):
Or some something. Yeah, I mean it might.

Speaker 7 (23:46):
Actually be more, to be honest, but because I just
stopped because there's too many videos. But but yeah, I
was like, that's crazy, like to think that over a
billion people have seen seen a video like videos of ours,
But I don't know, We've never had video has gone
more than like I think thirty five million is probably
a big just for one video a one platform.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Do you have you cracked the code because everybody always says, ah,
this is that horrific term gone viral. So have you
guys crecked the code of what works and what doesn't work? Like,
do you know that certain videos were certain to content
on a certain rhythm and a certain length more popular
than others.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
Not really well, I don't think. I feel like we
kind of just made something that we like and we
Sometimes you think a video is going to go really
good and it won't, and then you make another one.
You go, I don't know how this will go, and
then that does really well.

Speaker 8 (24:45):
So I kind of don't really know what we'll go do.

Speaker 6 (24:48):
No, But I guess like nowadays, you've got to get
people's attentions really quick, so it's all about the first
three to five seconds trying to hook them in. So
that's kind of change us and that's like something kind
of have to think.

Speaker 8 (25:02):
About now a little bit.

Speaker 6 (25:05):
But that's just kind of like trying to make something
you think is funny and then hopefully it sticks, but
something most timely doesn't.

Speaker 7 (25:12):
But yeah, every now and again I might get a
goody good content, I mean, good content at the end
of the day just wins regardless if a video. If
you've got something unique, I think unique because everyone's making,
you know, relatable things. But if you make something unique,
then I guess you stand out and the video stands
out and people are going.

Speaker 8 (25:29):
To watch it. But yeah, sometimes it's just shit. It
missed to be honest.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah, I mean we've sat here and made some of
the worst content imaginable. And I think the most viewed
video we've ever posted onto our Instagram was it was
a repost of that guy that walked out of a
bar I think in Australia, spewed up and slipped over
in his own spew. And then that of.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
Course that's going to work. That's that's great.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
Content, very right, that's great.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, I know, well, so I know what I'm doing
this afternoon if we want to go viral again. When
did you guys? When did you guys first night? Like,
was there a moment where like someone noticed you out
in the street or maybe when brands started approaching you
or something, when did you notice? I hang on, this
is this is a bit more than just you know,
posting a couple of videos for a laugh. There's a
bit of as a bit of a career path here.

Speaker 7 (26:18):
It was probably like when we when we got hit
up by management.

Speaker 8 (26:25):
We got so like, yeah, we were out the street
film videos.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
It was up like eight months of film and every
day and.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
Actually someone hit us up for it. It was flight facilities.

Speaker 7 (26:34):
The manage to hit us up to do a paid
job to promote one of those songs.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
And that was the first time we've ever got an email.
And when we were just.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
I think it was like five hundred dollars and we
at the time we thought that was like a billion dollars.
We're like, oh my god, like, we're gonna get paid
to dancey kidding. And then and then about a few
days after that, we're on the job site. I remember
an email come through for a manager and Sacks and
I were both on the job site in different different
job sites, and we both ran to the portoloo the

(27:05):
toilet to like read this email. And we're on the
phone like screaming to each other and stuff, being like.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
Oh my god, we're going to were gonna have a manager.
This is crazy.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
I mean that's probably been it all changed, to be honest.
That was back in twenty ninety Matt Jack.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
I want to get deep here.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I want to know how important is chemistry?

Speaker 8 (27:27):
Not very because we don't like a job that much.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Ah, so that's great news for us. It looks good
at camera, that is great news for us. We had
each other off here as well. One of the brands,
Let's reach out to you is a brand that they've
they've obviously seen in you the same potential they've seen
in me. They kept men do They sent me a
puffa jacket a while ago because they know me. There's

(27:50):
one of the yeah, one of the pioneers in the
outdoor space over here in New Zealand. But I see
they've teamed up with you guys to put out your
own puffa jackets. What why a puffa jacket? Where did
this come from?

Speaker 6 (28:03):
They call us puff Daddy now oh wait wait wow,
you know wow that was bad bad.

Speaker 8 (28:14):
No daddy, Yeah, no, daddy daddy.

Speaker 9 (28:18):
Uh well, yeah, we've always well, like Catman do, like
for years, we've always been wearing it, and you know,
we've kind of like had a bit of a relationship
room for years. And then we went on a big
trip to Kyrgyzstan and we like got all gear hooked.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
Up with them and we just had this amazing trip.
And then after that, like they came back and they're like, oh,
you just want to work together officially, and we're stoked
because you know, we've always worn them and grown up
with them and stuff. So yeah, it was just like
the perfect partnership and so he e. We've been doing

power duck. Down are we do we know what type of.
