for you. I'm a shot for so many people around
the world, you know, for everyone. Then when this happens,
it's someone at thirty one, but then someone that you've
kind of grown up, worth you but might as well
see that sort of happen.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
Yeah, it's pretty shocking. Like obviously we've got slippy disk
that happens throughout our life. But I think as millennials,
this one in particular is quite shocking to us. It
almost feels like it's the equivalent of the Beatles for
the other generation before us. And at first when I
heard the news, I was firstly shocked. Then I had
a little cry, and there was this battle of like
why is this affecting me? Like why am I crying

(20:30):
about someone I never met? But then I sort of
started thinking about it and like, it's okay to feel
sad if you are feeling sad about us, because he
was a huge part of our childhood and really had
a huge impact on many of us. And I just
kind of thought about it more and I was like,
if you are feeling sad.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Right now about Lampaigne.

Speaker 6 (20:49):
It's all good, Like you can grieve and he still
had a part of our life, and it's just tragic.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
I just feel sorry for everyone involved.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Produce Grace was like, this is her first real impactful death.
You know, there was a period there when at age
twenty seven, for some strange reason, you lost Jimmy Hendrix,
Amy Winehouse.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Keith Leedger.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, that Erkkbain I think might have been another one
at age twenty seven. It's when it comes out of
the blue light. That's it really does. Matthew Perry was
another one I felt last year as well. You just
went geez and also.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Soon obviously thirty one years old. They call them parasocial relationships.
Those are it's just one sided relationships, Yeah, where you
feel such a connection with someone that you ever met. Yeah,
it's still a relationship and he means a lot to you.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
So yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Very parasocial relationships.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Before, all right, because I felt that way, like it's
very sad for me with Liam, but I felt that
way before with you know, celebrities when they diet, it
convince you and you're.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Like, why I'm so sad. Yeah, and some might have
never met, yeah, but they can still impact your life
in quite a real way.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
And I think that the shock also comes too because
what we see, what you feed is probably the good
parts of their life and they look like they're living
the dream. Yeah, So to know that there's pain behind
that totally.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
And I think as a one direction fan too, you
we were always hoping, you know, would have a reunion
one day with all the boys on stage, which they
may still do, but it's not going to be the
same ever, it's just sad that one direction is kind
of no more really in a.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Way, yeah, really really tragic stuff. After seven o'clock this morning,
we're going to catch up with Gavin Gray, he's our
UK correspondent, to find out more details around what it's just,
you know, taken a lot.

Speaker 2 (22:30):

four hours of given Gray with you in fifteen minutes.

very hard case. She's got an your book out and
we took to her this week, Oh my Daughter's podcast
that we do for the podcast Network. She's really really
not only funny, but actually really your book surprised me,
to be fair, because it's not. It's got some funny
bits in that, but it deals with a lot of

(23:34):
herd growing up, living with a secret about sexuality, and
how she's living free now, her battles with ADHD and
anxiety and a really traumatic experience she had as a child.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, and all my chats with Brie, she'd never told
me about that and that's such a like hectic thing
in her life.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, so really is a fascinating chat.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
And she was a home invasion was she was nine
years old.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
NiFe points, I know, which is just, you know, really
hard thing to come back from as well. So we

you now and I wanted to test you guys at

Knowing.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh yeah, they love that.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
They're doing a live thing.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Concentrating nothing takes your window, the window, the break sales

and twice twice the kid's age, you should know better.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Dead. Yeah, now Ken text through on four four eight
seven something she's never done. She's never got a tattoo before,

of giving away tattoos.

blank whiteboard, hasn't it for us? Yeah? You got Dwayne
Rold Johnson's tattoo on there. I've drawn on the A Meigan.

Yes to that tattoo gold. Yeah.

She wanted to get a little love buck, didn't she.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
That's what her dad used to call her, love bug.

And he sadly passed, and so it's very sentimental tattoo.
So we went to mid ash at tattoo gold. Here
we go, Here we go, the needles about to go
in to Kim getting her Ladybug tatoo. Initial thoughts there, Kim,
It's not too bad, not too bad. She's handling it well.

(29:01):
I've always wondered with tatoo artist Sasha, isn't ok talk
to you while you're doing your job?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Did you? Obviously you had to get good at the craft.
Who did you practice.

Speaker 7 (29:10):
On myself a lot? And my siblings?

Speaker 5 (29:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
And are they running around? Was sort of questionable tatoos Yeah,
most questionable.

Speaker 9 (29:18):
Actually, so long ago I had to leave. You're not
going to wrap us up, busy guy. It was an
amazing looking tattoo. Ash had a wonderful job of tattoo
gold and Kim was really.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Stoked by it. Was actually quite emotional down the end
because it means such a lot.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
For her and she'd been meaning to do it for
so long. Finally got around to it, and yeah, Ash
killed it. Beautiful, fine lines it was.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
It was cute, a lady bug tattoo. And here it
was at the end, after the tattoo had been finished,
to the sounds of you two beautiful day blasting out

You do Grace, welcome, come on down.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Well hello, does she do a wonderful job? She's our
resident gen Z.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Perform does aful job. But on this occasionally rare slip up.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
We want to point this out because Grace is the one,
as a gen Z who's always pointing out our muck.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Ups, the judgment, the judgment and a lot of it
oozers towards me the technical judgment made a boomer era.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Yeah, well, our friend we've had a win. We have
made a boomer era. You may have spotted if you've
been following our social media. She's been putting up lots
of stories. There's a lot of stuff being chucked her way.
But she did have an eraror and you know when
you open your phone on a down angle and you
get that horrible chin selfie. Grace managed to upload one

(33:07):
of those to our story of her.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
It was chin took a photo but uploaded to the
bloaded it.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
I wanted everyone to see. How do you know? I
didn't want to put.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
It up like there's no bruise. I put it up
for people to see.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
It's not your mistake.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Watching watching a gin Z slip up on social media
is like watching a pro athlete trip over the shoelacense.
It's like watching Noah lyles meters and you're like, yes.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Yeah, I was skipping through it.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
I was like that, it all looked fantastic, But then
I get the one selfie.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
I don't know how long it had been up, three minutes,
It's like three minutes in now and it disappeared.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Remember it, reach out at it, remember it.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
I don't even remember posting it. I dissociated, like I
have absolutely no clue.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
And is this the most major mistake you've made on
social media?

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah? Probably this is the worst.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
This is the wall Jesus Fields good. I'm in my
every tower.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
I was looking at.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
It in the bath and I was like, don't, don't.
This is not the time for me to have an era.
I was like, scrolling through while you're on social media, no,
no photos.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, my worst one. Remember we had that we're interviewing
a lovely blind gentleman and he was waiting on zoom,
wasn't he?

Speaker 1 (34:19):
That's right?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
And Grace and Grace had don't know her a job beautiful?
Oh god, She's just like wait for him just to
pop up and click. Except when he's in the room
it or come up on the computer screen, so he
couldn't see obviously at his end, given his vision, And
we I didn't notice that he popped up on the screen.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
It said, except him let him into the room for
forty five minutes he was on there. You even filmed
the screen for something else. You were mocking someone else about,
And it said the room.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
He was waiting in the room for forty five minutes,
and then he got I don't want to happen there.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
The poor guy was waiting.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
The interview's fallen through.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, forty five minutes.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Maybe that's how you get through life, John, It's like
you don't have any anxiety or anything.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
You just like lead a life of just pure ignorance.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Maybe that's what we all need to do.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
You don't do it the rest. When I see the
other day about less stress out people stress out, stress
people more.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
The heads that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Never have you ever tour this morning when Funda went
down at the key or the quay as I was
calling it for for a long time.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
But yeah, it's a very unusual word, isn't it in
the English language. It's litter to the English language with words.
I was calling it quay for as I used to
say Antipodes as well, and it's the Antipodes, which is
the Australian New Zealand region of the world.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
To get wrong, ar Kansas that annoys me.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Ar Kansas, Arkansas, ah.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Ar Kansas, especially considering there is a Kansas, you know,
have I.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Come down and see us at the key or the
quay how have you call it? This morning hair down
by the marina and Fangada beautiful spots and there's free
hot drinks until now at nine o'clock.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
I met some wonderful people along the way over the
last five days. It's actually the best part about this
sort of stuff. We've been true, jeez, we've done some
laps of this country and our jobs, haven't we.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
And what I love too is a lot of people
that when we're standing on the side of the street
yell out stuff on the car and you can only
like thirty percent here. When they had to say, it's
oh are you lost?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, well I assumed he was like what are you
doing in this interesting part of Northland? The tone of
his what are you lost? And I see can you
help us? He's like, you're on your own out here, mate.
But bummed into someone use today and they were like, oh,
I must show your foot. We've got talking about the
dog and I must show you a photo of my
dog who's no longer around, And so then they did

(36:45):
that thing and I don't know, disrespect to the dog.
Rop thank you very much, Elie. It's just provided us
with a coffee there thank you Ellie here mate, kill
hit the tea de flavored coffee. I will show you
a phonet my dog and he's like, it's back in
twenty sixteen. This dog passed.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
So I'm sitting there and they're doing that thing when
they have to scroll back through their photo stream and no, no, no,
it's not there.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
That's photos from eight years ago.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah. And have you been in that situation when someone's
been hunting for something desperately to try and show you,
whether it's a funny video on YouTube and it's you know,
it's buffer.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
The buffering situation, it's the worst. You're like, how watch
this video? You had a play and it starts buffering
all the ad plays. You're like, that's really good.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
The problem is the longer the longer the way, the
longer the way, the more pressure comes on the piece of.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Comp anticipation, the more you get like this would be good,
and then you start doubting it.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
I could tell once this guy got back to like
twenty eighteen, he's like, oh, I should not be doing this,
but we're in deep now. And then finally it fell
like five minute and I'm trying to have like fill
and bent it. But yeah, he's clearly focused on.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Trying to to don't let them focus on it.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Yeah, so you don't, but you don't want to sit
there awkward silence because just staring waiting for this picture
and the picture pop and the dog, the dog, here's
the dog and you could tell or your dog and
I found this is I forgot a dog that I love.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Your dog is yeah, love to you, you and other people.
Maybe not telling the people it's just a dog. Yeah,
And so I can even tell. When he was lifting
the phone up, he's like this was worth and it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Did you over sell your response where you're like, no,
I was dead.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
I was dead by this.
