Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Flavor Podcast Network, the Flavor Breakfast Podcast with stace A,
Zorah and Charlie.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
On today's podcast, we share some of the one star
reviews that are too good to pass up.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Oh we talk about the biggest classroom moments from primary school.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
An imagine being court cyber Snoop Dogg watching the Dream Team,
the USA basketball team. That's what Courtney Tidy didn't she
told us all about it. You'll hear about it on
the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yesterday we talked about jigging leg jigging by the way,
and I didn't realize this was a This was hereditary,
you know, but it's a sign of what you guys
were saying as ADHD.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
However, both of those things are I'm confirmed.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
See it's good to see that you guys are paying
attention to what I'm talking about here. Now I'm inspired
by a recovered jigger. And this is our boss Maney
who comes into the room and he said, and he says,
you know what, I've been through rehab for my jigging.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
He didn't say that, but.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
It's almost like he's telling me that I need to
go to rehab. And you know, I've been looking around
and honestly, now that we've started talking about jigging.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
Leg when you sit down, just jigging lea.

Speaker 6 (01:16):
I see a lot of people. It's a natural thing.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
It's such a thing. And I'd just like to clarify.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Our boss said he stopped himself from lenk jigging, but
we don't really know that.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
That's just him saying I was where I was doing it.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I'd start to go, oh, jinging your league, and then
I'd stop.

Speaker 6 (01:35):
You know what, man, he's gate keeping the rehab centser
for this place.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
He hasn't done the twelve steps he has about for
everyone how to follow.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, you are right, because it's something you're subconsciously doing.
So he probably is still leg jigging, but thinks he's recovered.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yes, it's what like you who likes to say that you've,
you know, stopped vaping, except he's still vape at your ideas, Like,
but I don't own one see teas.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
And sees over there.

Speaker 6 (02:02):
Look, I got to read the fine print. I'll bet
you I'll beat your bosses jigging his leg right now.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Sometimes when we started talking about it, Charlie, you started
jigging your leg like it sets you off. There's no
hope for you, brother.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
Sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Alrighty, So we put a poll out on our flavor
story on Instagram. Right, so we've been getting complaints from
Zorah about her.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
It's all about perspective.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I was being bullied, just bullied because I cut the
tip of my finger nail off and it really hurt.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
And I may have said a few things about it
hurt it.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, and Stace and I were looking at each other like, bruh,
don't make them like us, no more station.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
So okay, well you got your opportunities, h and you
got more attention for it and put it on the
Instagram and then a pole and when what was the question?

Speaker 6 (02:54):
The question was, actually, I don't even know what the question.
Question was does this injury warrant the complaining? That's it.
It was a use or no question.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
They haven't heard the level of complaining. But anyway, what
does it say.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
It's not about the details.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
So the flavor finer have spoken, so has said yes, yes, no,
they're all over thirty five.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
I think the question's wrong.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
Yeah, I know, yeah, guys.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Your league to stand on was that I wasn't holding
my knife and thought properly and went oh, I can't
hold a knife for fort properly.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
My finger hurts.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Anyway, Is this the end of the chat about your
minor injury?

Speaker 6 (03:32):
This is it?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I don't want to hear it again, right, and I
don't even want to hear about leg to stand on
standing on their athletes on the.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
TV and.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Would hear about it but then the time.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
Thanks for validating me everyone. I needed that.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
But we need to say a big happy birthday, Come
on happy I gave birthday.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yes, girl is sixteen DN just looking at the setup
that I did. I spent a stupid amount of time
trying to set up her kind of.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
I guess birthday wake up.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, so we got like a little those little signs
that say sixteen and little light up kind of things.
She doesn't like cake and she doesn't Oh, she does
like flowers, but that's hard to organize first thing in
the morning. So these were like those kind of edible blooms.
So yeah, that was my little set up this morning.

(04:30):
I mucked around doing that because that's what you do, right.
So sixteen, yes, so she's our middle child and sixteen
years old.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
That's sure you need to say.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I know what the thing is I know my
son he went for his learners the day of his
sixteenth birthday, but it was exam time for him, so
he's a bit freer. She is going to do it,
but you know all of that, all of those New
Zone was starting to see her friends driving around on
their learners and it's.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
You know, sixteen is kind of I think, quite a
big deal, is it is?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
She had talked about having a big party, but that's
gone out the door now as far as I know, anyone,
let me know if you go to.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Your definitely not gonna know about.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
And another birthday shout out on the text. Happy birthday
to edith A Me to Ami to A Nate, the
best photographer and the New Zealand Arts. Love you, heats
from your kids Jordan and Monique, Shiloh, Isaac and Ziah,
and your grand babies Nivea, Rose, Azariah and Aliyah as well.
Lots of love. So it's a great day to have

(05:33):
a birthday. Eighth of the eighth. I have had to
be very patient. I have waited years, years to get
to the place that I've finally arrived at as of yesterday,
it's a pretty big day for me.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Made it back onto Uber.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Oh it's not particularly you know, I'm not like promoting
any brand or anything, but I just like, you know,
it's quite inconvenient to live an orc London. Have to
get your children to arrange ubers for you if you
ever need one, like I do. Sometimes I'll get in
the car and they'll say a different name.

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Man.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I go, yep, that's me because my husband got me
blacklisted from Uber two years ago and I've not been
able to make a new account. Like they know your email,
they know it, particularly your phone number, and they go, no,
you've been blacklisted, so you're in Uber jail. I was
an Uber jail and I reckon it was two years.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Some some could say she was locked up up.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
Two years. I'm back.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Oh, and I've got something for you tuesdays.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
That's an official So yeah, I got reported by my
husband and this is totally his fault. I told him
at the time my visa wasn't in or something like that,
it was expired or something. So I said, can I
use yours? And he did the thing Charlie, do you
know this thing when you're tells you something you go, yeah,
you're not listening.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Right, So then he thought somebody was Heck.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Yeah, they go after all these uber charges. I didn't
do that. What's that report?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
And so he forgot that I was on his visa,
which I know, by the way, is illegal, but well,
you know, minorly illegal. What's your Well, yeah, you're not
supposed to tell anyone you're password or anything like that.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
I'm screwed. Then. I'm pretty sure my friends know my
passwords to everything. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Interesting being so anyway, thanks for reporting me.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
But now I'm back and do whatever I want. I
might just report had for the sake of it.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, you do what Sky says.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Leg I don't want to go anywhere, but still I could.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
I wanted to. We win on a trip down memory lane.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Here we we did a deep dive into the TV
shows that raised you, and more so the the theme
songs that you all know, like the Planeteers.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
When what hard are Your Powers Combined?

Speaker 7 (08:10):

Oh yeah that was my show for me?

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Please?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Sure?

Speaker 5 (08:29):
What was it was it that fregorl Rot said at
half by seven? And what now? Is eight or other
way around? I think eight for Fregil and eight thirty
for what now? I think it's not quite sure. Sorry,
I forgot that detailed lemon hat.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
And then it was I remember what now was on
a Sunday.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
To yep eight am eight am.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
So many good ones and one of them being the
Arthur theme song, which you know, Ziggy Marley is the
one behind the song. And we thought, no, no move over,
Ziggy Marley. We've got a reggae singer. You've got Charlie
permitted from three hours. Hey is going to do the
Alpha theme song and it comes from.

Speaker 6 (09:07):
The heart or believe in yourself. Well that's the place
to stunt, get at it.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
What a wonderfolca to day if we can learn to work,
can't play and gets along with.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Day, Hey gets.

Speaker 8 (09:29):
Along with.

Speaker 6 (09:32):
Wonderful. We said that Charlie was the one that sang it,
but you can clearly hear we tried to well.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
This was my favorite ticks. Shout out to Charlie for
the way this morning.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
What a throwback to primary school, Mayfield Primary and Autarda.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Do you know what, guys man, it's this is just
something about theme songs that just takes you to another place.
But you know, when I was listening to Ziggy Mahley's
version tell me why. I was also trying to sing
like a Jamaican w.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Wonderful kind of day?

Speaker 6 (10:02):
You know, I'm like, right, what am I seeing like?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (10:03):
You should be seeing like an advark, which is what
Arthur is.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Advar.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
He was a teddy bear, been a big way.

Speaker 6 (10:12):
So did my flat mate.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I was actually walking around for hours yesterday going, hey, what.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
A wonderful kind of day too. Someone. We need to
be stopped, We need to be stopped.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Oh no, listen, I go to do the kids like
the school lunches, right, their little shopping and that already
costs an arm and a leg.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Yeah, going to the supermarket and what just school lunches.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
School lunches and little bits and pieces content.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
And the next minute, looking at the supermarket, you'll see
money comes out of your account.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
You don't even have to be inside.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Man, What was that about?

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Hundred Yeah, over one hundred pc. I don't even need
a trolley now, I didn't even need a trolley these days.
It's just those little cart things. And it's pretty sad,
bro because that's freaking expensive. But what I'm finding a
lot these days is when I go through the aisles.
I'm looking at fruits that's been bitten by people, Banana peels.

(11:05):
You even got people like digging into Lolly's chocolates.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Oh really because they have the free fruit section for kids.
But you're talking about just sitting there in the middle
of the fruit. People are just gone munch and stay.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Some even talking about grapes, like you know, when they
come in those little tubs, people's already open and eating
the grapes. So it's not just fruit, it's everything. But
I'm I'm lo key, just pretty happy that people are
doing it because the prices are what's expensive.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
Bro go in and do a shopping email as well, just.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Getting no no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
I thought you said it was a PSA public service announcement.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I've got a boat. I've got a bone to pick
with people that do it, because because why aren't you
finishing the apple? You know the amount of times I'll see,
like I'll go to grab my musically bars, but there's
just one God, I'm.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
Like, man, take the box.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
They take one bite out of the apple. I'm like, well,
but what about the reasons. If you're hungry, you finish
the apple? Surely otherwise they are probably just trolling, is
what I would assume.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
But it does.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
It happens all through the supermarket. I used to work
in a supermarket. It happens a lot. I will admit
I I've been guilty of. I've been guilty of, you know,
filling filling the lollies up, or the nuts or the
crackers up in a bag and riding the weight the
number on it and having.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
A couple as a walk around.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Oh okay, technically no, no no, but you had to well
you weigh at first, and then that price is what
you play pay Oh you wait later. No no stealing,
no stealing, it's only like one lolly, you know, one lily.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
No stealing.

Speaker 6 (12:41):
Yeah, no stealing.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I don't do it anymore. Actually don't even eat lollies.
It's supermarket. But I will say I'm very guilty of.
If I'm walking around the supermarket, I will have a
drink and then I put it on the put it
on the conveyor, beout at the ind and it's like
completely empty.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
So you're paying for the evy box that you already drink.
That's different.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
But yeah, can me not just do the bite and
go okay.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
And please put your rubbish in the bin. That's my PC. Yeah,
hard out. If you're done with it. If you're done
with it, you're in your pocket. Take it home.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Stay Azora and Charlie is back after a month away
in Europe and a couple of places.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
They really felt your wrath and a bad review.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
It has to be done, Okay, it's not all you know,
egg like, we don't read the reviews and more importantly
the bad reviews. They help you, and it's only when
it's warranted. Like I'm not one of those people that
say stupid things, but not the only one who does it, guys.
I decided to look into some of our you know,

(13:44):
landmarks here and oh see what the reviews are.

Speaker 6 (13:48):
The bad reviews.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Joel has said about the Skytower carpot the ice cream
portion is low one star. We have Showye who has
said glassesn't clean, not exciting at all.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
It is kind of important though, you know, for the
glass to be clean, and I understand that review. Then
we've got the we've got the giant lemon and like
almpa bottle yeah and pidor uh Alicia said said, just
a big bottle that smells like we sorry, smells.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
Like we actually it does.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
They need to do better with their place because it's
it's a good spot.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Someone else says, just a giant bottle, that's it.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
What doesn't promise to be anything else? Does that?

Speaker 2 (14:38):
No? I know someone someone else has said. Tyrem said
not really great, just a big piece of rubbish about
the bottle.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
I'm not ah. Someone else says that.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, if you love Alpe, still skip the trip. The
town obviously doesn't care about it anymore because there was
a store that says it's ol and p ice cream
and it doesn't sell it anymore.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Oh gosh, guys, these guys sounds so fun to go
on a holiday with.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
I know everybody who complains about the LMP bottle, but
when they're going to like Todunga, going past it, everyone
has to stopping, take a.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Face, stretch the legs. That's what it means, that's what
it represents. If you don't know, then that's your own fault.
It's where you just get out to move around because
it's already been a long drive. I have not been
to the Wanaka Tree, but I have read the one
star reviews. Moodha says, ordinary tree not worth the view,
waste of time. Lake view is bitter, Ruby said, pretty disappointing.

(15:37):
The stupid tree wasn't even in the water. It was
sitting in the sand, very dull and did looking. Actually
it was uglier than the other trees that surrounded it.
Quite a few people have complained about the amount of
people taking photos in.

Speaker 6 (15:50):
The front of the tree.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
I know some people are like, it's ruined by being
too well known. I'm sorry because people aren't going to
put other people in their photo. And you thought that
it was, you know, can isolated.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I agree, and he sums it up perfectly, saying one
star for the tree, but five stars watching the other
visitors take Southia's and photos.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
Yeah, so there you go.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeah, and what some people can complain about, Oh, feel
free to.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Just stay at home.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
We are talking about bad reviews because they matter. Okay,
we need to bring light to them because we read them.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
This determines whether you go there and you spend your money.
It's important and it's also hilarious.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yes, well, sometimes they just determine that you go. Well,
that person's a mona. Because some of the things that
people say about New Zealand Lanmark's New Zealand tourist spots
are ridiculous, like Moo Mount Monganui. One review says, my
five year old could draw a better mountain, So I'll
even understand that.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Well, it's not.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
About drawing it, for one thing, but also it's like
that's complaining that Mount Monganui, that Mool isn't big enough.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
And then other people are going, well the walk was
too long. It's like, where is in between there, Graham,
what would you like?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
You can see how big it is from looking at it.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Honestly, some people are just funny when it comes to
reviews that when you're reading it, this just people are
just taking the mickey.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yeah, this one he had for Lake Topal it's too wet. Okay, sorry,
it's a whole lake. Another one, Lake Toport, Well I
couldn't find it, did you. You actually can't drive anywhere
without seeing it?

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Oh no?

Speaker 2 (17:27):
How about for the Caldo Bridge in Queenstown and just
had a Queenstown Nathan said one star the worst hot
chocolate I've ever received.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
Bro, that's got nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
That's exactly exactly my point. And someone else said the
bridge is old. There's a bungee jump set up in
the middle, which ruins it. And someone else Russell said
one star. I'm siddenly not a fan of bungee jumping.
This is not an experience I would recommend to anyone.
So why are you giving that review on like a landmark?

Speaker 6 (18:03):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Yeah, it was that for Cobodo as well. That's where
they jump off.

Speaker 6 (18:08):
Yeah exactly. But it's like, you don't have to do it.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
You don't have to Yeah, yeah, no one made you
do it, made you do it because she had a
bad experience. Another one here his way Heka Island is
only good for people who are addicted to drinking.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Do it and they Hobbiton is this this definitely deserves
a mention. Someone just said, this is the worst experience
of my life. All you do is walk around a hell.
You can't even go inside. I'm like, because it's it's
a movie set, guys.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
You can go inside. I think you didn't check the details.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
And Stephanie Steffanie come on one star review to Hobbiton,
she had a terrible experience because they actually got a
flat tire on the way down. Oh that's Hobbiton's fault,
yeap man, and so they couldn't actually arrive in time.
They asked for a refund, and they got a refund,
and then they decided to change your mind. And she's

(19:02):
really upset you got a flat tire. She sounds like
some terrible man.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah, so she got a refund, but she's still mad
because then she wanted to go again. Okay, yes, Stephanie,
this stuff going on. That hobbiton is not in charge
of convinced.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
That bad reviews is you know, it really shows you
what's wrong with the human race.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
So you wrote them.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I would never once start and write silly ones like
I had a bad drink pants popper, I had no
ac no sarcasm, please, but we need to talk about it.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
The fits okay.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
At the Olympics, a kid was arounded our place the
other day and watching the sprinting, and I sort of
heard her perspective. She's twelve, and she saw the female
sprinters line up.

Speaker 5 (19:52):
She went, oh, she's in her uni.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Oh yeah, that's what they do, they run around in
their undies. And I'm like, yes, of course, it seems
most comfortable if you look at the pole vaulting as well,
that's important. Don't have any don't have any appendages a French.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
You know, Poul Voldeman so Italian. I think he was.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
So.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
The thing is, I get where you have practicality of
your uniforms, but you were really just out there in
your dogs dogs down there running out of the track,
aren't you.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I didn't realize that until you know, you brought it
up this morning. And then when you're looking like at
majority of the people that are doing track and field,
they are in the undies. Like girls, I think guys
may as well just we like, may as well wear
speedo stee while they're racing.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
And I you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I do always feel like I'm like, I'm like, oh oh,
especially even though I'm not it's swimming, I still feel
feel like that with the swimming and the boys and
the speeders, I'm like, whoa, you can see so much skin?

Speaker 6 (20:48):
What are the rules?

Speaker 4 (20:49):
So the rules for women and gymnastics say are corrective, supportive,
non transparent leotard or unitard of elegant design. Leotard dimensions
are specified to the are sentimeter.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
For me, it's a lot shorter.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Men must wear gymnastic pants and a tank top shorts
are permitted for floor. It doesn't say anything about the
color transparency. A black or the darker shades of blue
brown are not permitted.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
That's all.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
What about beach volleyball, it's a tank top, tight fitting shorts.
They're really really not athletics as well. They backlash or
lack of sponsorship can quickly follow if they don't follow
the norms of a feminine kind of outfit.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Wow, is it triathlon or that they have there where
you got swimming cycling? So I've seen one where they
are swimming and then they get off from swimming, get
out of swimming, then straight onto the bike and they're
riding their bikes in their little indies. And you know,
you've got to imagine that you're sitting on the seat
in your indies. Bro, those indies are getting eaten up, mate.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Yes, really impology just too pole vaulters.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
I will admit they look incredible and they are one
of the people that we are unders And I've I
always wondered why my ex liked Eliza McCarthy so much
and McCartney McCartney so much, And then when we're watching
the pole vaulting today, I was like, damn, are we
taking into a place?

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Yes, I want to take you guys there.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Okay, Now, this is a scary moment when you're in
primary school or in any type of setting where you're
sitting around people that are quite knowledgeable.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
But particularly in class.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
In class primary school memories, Oh that's so vivid.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
Haven't been there for years, but still remember these days.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
I still remember this stace.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
And honestly, this used to scare me all the time.
When we used to do reading, right, we will sit
around in a little circle, and I remember the book
and my teacher, missus Foster. The book that we were
reading as a class. We had two weeks to complete.
It was James and the Giant Peach by Ronald dah

(23:05):
Good book. Yeah, and you know, everybody was great readers,
and it was I was always sitting in the middle,
that kid.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
I was that kid.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
So everybody will go through their little paragraphs and then
when it comes to me.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
The the you.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Know, I was stuttering, and the teachers, the teacher, Miss Foster,
she was so impatient, like, you know, rather than helping
me through the words, and the biggest word was because
you're doing it, then that's me. Like see I'm unlocking this.
It's coming back to me.

Speaker 6 (23:45):
And I used to be like Charles's because because then
I used to just.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Look at I didn't want to look up because it
was just too scary, and I knew exactly what the
students were thinking. Charlie, your damn't so then, bro it
used to make things a lot worse for me.

Speaker 6 (24:04):
And then because I used to take.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Long to read one line, Okay, never mind, child, you
carry on faster. Honestly, guys, I will just stare down
at my little paragraph.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
And then the tears were just rolling, not even a noise,
just dripping out your eyes. And then the worst part
is when I actually hear her compliment everyone, great reading, Peter,
great reading.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
John, Well, technically you didn't do great reading. So I
can understand why she didn't. No, no, no, great reading.

Speaker 6 (24:33):
But I shouldn't. She shouldn't move on.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
Well, teachers were different back then.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Just think of you know the scene and boy when
the teacher tells them all to shut up. So, miss Foster,
did you dirty? But like you say, it was the
nervousness of going, Okay, we're going around the group and
my reading is coming up next, and that made you
feel worse, right, Charlie.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
A dead man.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
And then it even got worse when the tears started
going down, Miss host will be late.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Why you crying child?

Speaker 3 (25:02):
The whole class is looking in at the guy that
doesn't know how to read, and the tears. Okay, shut
the book, go to your desk, because no, no, it
was like that. Actually, just honestly, if anyone if your
name was James, I would just hate you automatically because
I hated that book.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
James and the Giant Peach.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
But just I hate pictures.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
I just hate pictures and I just hate that word
because because it was just hard.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
I feel you, though, Charlie.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
I think even if you were an okay reader, knowing
that you know it was coming up that you had
to read a paragraph in class, Oh my gosh, the nerves.
You're not even listening to what the other cuss don't care.
We're going over your life. Yeah, because it's so there's
it's so embarrassing getting up in front of your class.
And you know, if I would start it, and I
was okay at reading, but if I would start, I'd

(25:54):
be in my head thinking, guys, I swear I can
read myself.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
I know, umatizer.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
At that moment. The classroom is the whole world like zones,
and you remember it all.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Like I remember the cover of the atlas that I
was looking at when mister Camp gave me the strap
because I pointed out that you spelt hammer with a
H a N, not ham, and I knew that because
I'd been there recently, and he told me I was
being a know it all and gave me a strap.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
Gave me the strap.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, you don't remember anything of what you learned, but
you remember really iconic classroom moments, you know, and it
doesn't have to be a moment of your own, because
you know, I'll never forget when Mikayla had a tantrum
in the class and ended up walking over to the
window with a big staple gun, stapling the window and
smashing it.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
See that would have been like, oh, that's one of
those moments where you're like, whoa.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
The big classroom moment was big, or maybe it was
supposed to be small, but it felt big at the time.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
So see, miss Foster, I'm here now, I'm working on
radio and.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
I'm still stuttering. Put that in your party.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Cocke showed you.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Stay a Zorah and Charlie oh Man. I just hated
reading in front of the class. He paragraphs were a
nightmare because I was the worst reader in the class
and it didn't help.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
The teacher wasn't supportive.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
She used to just like help me in front of
everybody and then to make things worse.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Rainbow reading, Rainbow reading, oh eli has got a good
name because it used to be like people just say,
remember cabbage maths, you know, like if you're real bad
at it?

Speaker 5 (27:31):
Yeah, but now I.

Speaker 6 (27:33):
Forgot about that term.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Teachers were different, as it is on the text.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
I remember my mate Jade getting tied up to the
teacher's desk so he wouldn't cause any distractions.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Absolutely mental thinking about that. Today things were different.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
Morning. Who do we have on the line?

Speaker 4 (27:55):
What was the big classroom moment that you remember?

Speaker 8 (27:59):
We're about twelve years old and we're all sitting in
multi class and two of the plan. It was we're
having like this big argument and then the multi teacher
got kind of annoyed with him and just put them
up in front of the class and said, you know,
or are you two remember arguing to have a fight,
and then yeah, he was trying to force them to

(28:21):
have a fight. Obviously they didn't want to have a
first fight in front of everyone. And then the multi
teacher turned around and uh, basically drop kicked one of them.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
The teacher tries to get them to fight each other,
and when they wouldn't, he fought them.

Speaker 8 (28:39):
And then the other one who didn't get drop kicked,
got scared, opened up the classroom window, jumped out, and
then ran all the way home. And I didn't see
him more the teacher after that day.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Oh, Daniel, Yeah, I wasn't there.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Take it.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
It takes the cake, Millie.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Another one here is saying I hated reading aloud because
for some reason I'd start getting a running nose. So
not only was nervous to read, then I was paranoid
that my snot would run down.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
You know why.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Though it's a logical thing. It depends what time of
the day you do it. If you've been running around
at lunchtime, it's so natural that when you stop moving,
your nose just starts running. But I do have to say,
and then James the Giant Peach, there was always that
one person, I will admit.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
But there was always that one person who vomited in class,
you know, like remember, and it was like so hot
and like the smours were a vaulted and she was
always the girl vomited.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (29:41):
You know, I mean it was the same with you
know the other way out?

Speaker 4 (29:44):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (29:45):
Did someone do that in class?

Speaker 6 (29:46):
Yes? Yes?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Really there was also a girl called Yes who decided
to save the bird during lunchtime but didn't tell the
teacher and brought a bird back and just like had
the bird in her school jacket. Wait. You know there
was always weird kids like that, and I wonder how
they turned out.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
They went for dogs.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Another one says, I had a racist teacher and standing
one who hated me to the point she said I needed.

Speaker 5 (30:09):
To be kept back a year.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
My mom took me to be independently tested and I
got put up a year.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
You tormented me and my fellow brown students the whole
year we were stuck with her. My mom and a
few others got together and submitted a formal complaint, which
resulted and who ultimately get in the sack?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yay, change doesn't happen unless you make it, man, And
if only my mom did that to miss Foster Miss.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Did you roll if you saw Miss.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Foster in the street today, like would what would you do?
I'll get James and Giant Peach out and read.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
It and I work on the radio. Miss Foster Mysteries
come up on Monday.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
We're going to celebrate fifty one years of hip hop
because when you talk about but at the beginning of
hip hop, where does it start?

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Who was involved? What is the influence?

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Well, we mostly look back to August nineteen seventy three
in South Bronx and the movement that we now know
is hip hop was born when Cindy Campbell threw a
back to school party and she was selling off some
of her clothes.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
She wanted to make some money to go back to.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
School, and she got her brother Clive to DJ under
his stage name DJ cool HERK.

Speaker 6 (31:27):
I'm the first hip hop promoter. It's my back to
school party.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
That I gave fifteen twenty seven to campnil Ougus eleventh,
nineteen seventy year three.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
That was the birth of camp Pop.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
And of course to keep those parties going it's a
big block party. Then we had to have the dance
floor going, and they didn't want any you know, downtime
so her brother DJ Coolhurk worked two parallel turntables to
repeat the musical breaks like the best part of the song,
and those Bronx house parties became block parties, and dancing
to the brakes became break dancing, and other founders like

(32:00):
Grandmaster Flash added a new element to the music.

Speaker 8 (32:04):
This sting of me putting my fingertips on the record
and looping one particular part over and over and over
again so that our rapper has dispad to speak on.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
And speaking truths became a foundation of those breaks from
another founding father, African immigrant Africa Bambarda, who sometimes doesn't
get the credit that I think he deserves, but he
put a name to what would become the movement.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
Right like that sound, I said, you know, this is
hit and when you fill that music, you got to
hop to it. So that's what we call it hip hop.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
That's right, And hip hop was on the streets and
the clubs, but it wasn't until nineteen seventy nine the
rappers Delight by the Sugar Hill Gang became the first
hip hop song played on the radio. But as we
celebrate fifty one years of hip hop, we celebrate the
movement that started with a back to school party, and
so we go to rappers delight by the Sugarhill Gang.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Because if you don't know, now you know, I.

Speaker 6 (33:02):
Guess you could call him my tek hero.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
So my partner dev he is like a Google Maps
like and his brain he is.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
He knows he could go there one.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
He's fine, and I never I don't think I've ever
told him how impressed a and by it, but I
realized what it's from. He sent me a picture of
his new job site, and I realized he is a
trad and I think the trade's out. There are some
of the best maps you can have, especially in like

(33:35):
your town or your city, or you know the area
that you're from the region. They just know everything is
because they have jobs in different places. So they're like, oh, yeah,
I know that bakery is on the corner of d D.
Like well the other people, how do you know the
bakery stops?

Speaker 6 (33:52):
I know all the sushi stores is another.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
So yeah, you could say he's your tich hero.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
I know, shout out there, my tiic hero by hero.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, I hate that he knows everything, and like, why
do you know the road names too?

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Okay, don't make bad at you tick here we are
celebrating them.

Speaker 6 (34:10):
It's because always go let's put it in maps. You're
not gonna know who needs Google mess when we are being.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Joined by Sky Sport correspondent over at the Olympics, the
incredible Courtney Tidy.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
Modern bon Swak.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Guy, So it's a nice time for you, but morning
for us. Where are you right now, Courtney?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
At the moment in the middle of Paris, we just
watched our women's cycling team win silver in the team
to suit.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Ah yeah, awesome. So they were up against America. That
was pretty tight, wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yeah it was a tight one. Our girls race really
really well. But I know that we were guaranteed a
medal anyway, obviously we're going for gold, but we were
happy with the silver. Great effort by the team out
on the track tonight.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
And of course we've still got pol worlding going on
and everything. But what about you, court side? Tell us
about what.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
You I know, Courtney, it was the best ever. I
thought I was in a dream. They let me down
court side. I went to just watch Team USA, the
dream team, which was a dream of mine. They let
me court side, So all of a sudden I'm watching Lebron,
James arm up, Steff Curry. Then Snoop walked out. I
was like, oh my goodness, Snoop.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Dog was right in front of you. You were literally
meters away from him and.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Steve and Steff Curry. How did you feel? Were you
called Courtney? Did you keep your cool on?

Speaker 1 (35:36):
I did? And I was like, look, I just got
to get this content the sky Sport. I'll get what
I can. I can't believe I'm here right now, especially
when Snoop was right there because everyone's like Snoop, Snoop Sup.
And then I was like, I'll just stay quiet so
security doesn't just, you know, make us go away. And
then he turned around gave me a wave. Then I
was like, what is happening? Like, I'm watching Snoop watch
Steff and Lebron warm up at the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
And also they would have just warmed up listening to Snoop.
I'm sure in their whole lives, you know. And then
Snoop fans.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Absolutely and then they started playing Snoop in the state.
I was like, what what right now?

Speaker 6 (36:11):
Snoop Sectus is tall in real life?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
A he is so tall because when he stood up
to shake their hands. He was a actually I won't
say he's almost he was as tall as them. So
I'm thinking Snoop Slate six ' five damn, because I
couldn't believe it. And then I went then obviously went
on a deep dive, and there's videos of him actually
dunking the basketball way back in the day, and I.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
Was thinking, oh my god, I'm on the Dream Team.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah he's one ninety three. Yeah, he's doing all right.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
And now Cottey, I guess there's a couple other events
that we need to talk about.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
We've still got a few days of athletics coming up
fifteen hundred and eight hundred, so we're happy about those. Also,
Hamish Kurr has made it through for high jump. David
Letty start in a couple of days in the weight lifting,
so I'm excited to say that one. And then obviously
we have Lisa Carrington, who's most decorated Olympian. She's going
head to head with Amy Fisher, who's the current world champion,

(37:01):
also a key we I was at their heats this morning.
They both absolutely cruised through. So Lisa, we'll compete in
the team events over the next couple of days then
Amy and Lisa go heads ahead. I'm not sure when
it is in New Zealand, but it's Saturday here.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Yeah, I think Sunday our time.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
And just I think you know too strong, working there,
going for it, competing for or I mean, it doesn't
get better than that. I'll really so much.

Speaker 6 (37:26):
To look forward to, Courtney.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
We so appreciate you giving us Olympic updates. I can't
believe you know we're we're closer to it finishing. It
just feels incredible. We all love watching it at home
and watching you as well on Sky Sports.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
So thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Oh, thank you guys for the support. I'm glad I
