<v Speaker 1>it and what do you love about it? We'll start

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>off first. I think what I love about home this

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>week is how many parks there are around me.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, yes, sorry, I thought you met car parks.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh, there's a shortage of car parks, which is why

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I have crashed my car many times. But recreational, yeah,

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm serable at driving. But actually, let's not shine. I

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>mean that comedy set. Just yeah, I love how much

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>greenery there is around my area. We've got a few

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>parks and they all hold special memories, like the one

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>closest to my house is like the local to all

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>our family, so like whenever there was a Smith's Easter

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>with jamming, volley or basketball there. One of the other

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>parks is where I played soccer for a while because

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I did that in primary school. The other is where

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, we used to drink in our school, Like,

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>it's just you know, special memories attached to the parks

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>around me. That's what I love about her. How about you?

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I love that mine is a little bit trivial. I

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 2>love celebrity Treasure Island favorite's I dream to go on CTI.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 2>And now that it's back, I'm sure by the time

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>this episode comes out, it might have already finished already

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.919
<v Speaker 2>and we'll know who the winner is. But what are

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 2>your recons of the season At the moment, I can't

0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>say it's too early.

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:42.919
<v Speaker 3>Three people I hate.

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, three people right now?

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Very well.

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's also my mum's favorite TV show, So like,

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>if I'm home on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday night,

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>it's just a nice chance for to like connect. So

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I love ct I. But more than that, I love

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>hanging out with my mom. Yeah she's really lame, but

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>I love my mom. I love living with her. So yeah,

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>that's what I love about Home.

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 3>What about you, Coach Home Home is one of those ones,

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, this is kind of I've kind of been

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 3>in time my whole life. I think this year, specifically,

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 3>the journey of figuring out exactly where home is has

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 3>been kind of a big question. I think, you know,

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>because I'm Simon and of course some more is the

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>motherland here obviously I'm what everyone is. But you know,

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 3>back home we'd be. But I think when I think

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 3>about Tomak, because that's you know, where I'm living at

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 3>the moment. What I love about it. It's actually just nature.

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Like one of my favorite motorways or highways of State

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 3>Highway twenty. You're coming down from like west into the

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 3>city and there's just that big body of water right there.

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 3>And I've been lucky enough to travel to different countries

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 3>and I just every time I drive that specific mon

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, man, it's so good to be home, well.

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Proving away from home. You recently went to l a

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>coach with a group of pastiki creatives. Can you tell

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 2>us what that experience was, Like, I mean, off, Mikey

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>sbout what it might not be like, but like how

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 2>enriching was that experience?

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 3>It was actually really good. And I remember when I

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 3>was approached for it, I was just like on my

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 3>balcony staring at the moon and I get a phone

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 3>call from Xav and He's like, Hey, I really need

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 3>to ever talk to you. So I'm thinking, oh shit,

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 3>I must have done something because we had just finished

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 3>a show on the VIN and I was like, oh,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I must. You know, whenever you hear like hey we

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>need to have a conversation, we have a chat, damn it.

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.720
<v Speaker 3>So I pick up the phone call. It's like, hey, look,

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 3>we're going to go to America and we think it'd

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 3>be great if you come along. Wow, So here's me

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 3>in like my very just yeah, we're going to go

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 3>partying and just have so much fun. That's all I

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 3>thought about. I'm going to eat so much food.

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that you guys are going to l a.

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 3>We were actually doing quite a bit of work. So

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 3>we're really fortunate to my bro Xavier for setting that up.

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're with quite a lot of people. You know,

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 3>we had Lena, we had Van Skis, we had Frank.

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, we had took a whole different variety of things,

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 3>and I think it was just cool to showcase Alter

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 3>all over there.

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 3>It was an interesting thing we did where we were

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 3>like trying to figure out a song to sing. Yeah,

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 3>and we're like, oh, should sing a Mouldi song because

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 3>you know we're from all But then the conversation was

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 3>like what there is no one and here's actually molded.

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 3>We all actually sund more on tongue in you know,

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 3>different like, but that's that's where we're from. Yeah, you know,

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 3>so I think it's fine that we can represent as

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.239
<v Speaker 3>well as well as you know, being somemon tongue and stuff.

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>So I think it was really cool that Americans just

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 3>they loved it. They're like, wow, oh my gosh, you

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 3>guys talk so great and so great. So it was

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 3>really like eye opening. I think here in all we

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 3>tend to just feel like, oh no, they're better over there,

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 3>They've got cooler stuff over there, But actually, whendn't go

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 3>over We're actually really you know, we're really talented down here,

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 3>and I think we need to tell ourselves that more.

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. How was it to be inside the Water Music

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Group building because that's just wow?

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah wow. They didn't actually hit me till I was

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 3>like walking through. You can probably see a lot of

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 3>executives walking around. Yeah, this is real. Actually we got

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 3>to sing there as well, know, so the opportunity honestly, again,

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 3>it was it was really cool to be there and

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 3>share the stage and share the space of you know,

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 3>other creators, you know, especially Brianna and this is our

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 3>home crew with what their messages and then also us

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 3>just being there was amazing.

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Did you have in and Out in LA?

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 3>You're my honest opinion, in and Out.

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Please, because yeah, the double double and animal style.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, everyone might be canceled for this and the dogs.

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 2>To be honest, I heard this because one of my

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.839
<v Speaker 2>best feriends is Americans, but she lives here, she studies here.

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>She's saying, like, in and Out is a lot like

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 2>what we have here already, because everything else. The reason

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 2>it's so like revolutionary to Americans is because these like

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 2>real food, Like it's like real food, you know, whereas

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the other takeaways it's not real food. Yeah, so like

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>for us, it's probably just like substandard, I guess.

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 3>So I don't care. I don't want to say dog

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 3>shick because that's dog my first three bides. I was

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 3>like that, like, you didn't get the sauce. So I

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 3>got the sauce, and I was like, Okay, the sauce

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.839
<v Speaker 3>makes it bitter, but I wouldn't like run out of

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 3>my way to eat and then out every day. It's

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 3>really good though, So I don't know that'story about the place.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to, you know, hating them too much.

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Because Americans don't like that.

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>What else did you eat over there? Raising canes is

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 2>at a.

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Thing we didn't get to try. I really wanted to,

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 3>but no one wanted to go. So we had Chick

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 3>fil A obviously. Yeah, chake check probably one of my favorites.

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I've had lots of good things about Shakeshack.

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 3>But I think the number one thing I ate in

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 3>l A was the Mexican tackles streets and you have

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 3>to get to like a street windor so we were

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 3>just like it was like warm up. There was just

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 3>like a couple of trucks outside. So we're just like

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 3>pulled up and like, yeah, we'll just get a couple

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 3>of these and that was great change my life. Almost

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 3>cried because they give they give me mixed coach as well.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 3>It's like a different formula.

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's in a glass and everything.

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 3>They were getting really frustrated because I wasn't speaking like

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 3>Spanish because.

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>They thought, look Spanish, get.

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 3>It, you're over there. Terrible. They were just speaking to me,

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 3>the ladies.

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry.

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I am someone.

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry. It was I should learn some more Spanish.

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Just for that, I feel that that Xavier didn't see

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>us as well. We are also creative. We can sing,

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>we can dance. Like so, coach, you've been making seeker

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>music for a while, But what prompted this pivot to country.

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Music because is a big ever kind of R and

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 2>B empty.

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the pivotic country was a mixture of a lot

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 3>of things, heartbreak being one of them, and alcohol problem

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 3>being another one. Damn No, I think country for me,

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 3>I've I've listened to country for a long time, not

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 3>like hard out like I am now, but you know,

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 3>we we kind of just it's been in our lives

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 3>for a long time. And I think recently I because

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I've been writing for my it's really important, Like even

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 3>my running back, all of those stuff. I always try

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 3>to make sure I use like some sort of some

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 3>one words because at the end of the day, we

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 3>want to make music that the world will listen to,

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 3>but we still need to have a little stamp of

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 3>who we are, you know. So the further I went

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 3>down their journey of trying to figure out, Okay, what

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 3>is music to me? What is someone music to me?

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 3>What do they listened to back in the days it

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 3>took me slowly back to country, you know. And so

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 3>when I started writing in country, it felt way more natural,

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 3>you know. And I think some people do say, and

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 3>this possibly me, but country is like a struggle sort

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 3>of genre. You talk about your struggles a lot. Yeah,

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 3>And when you think about like the old school five

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 3>star stuff, it's just their guitars and their stories, you know.

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 3>So for me, I think once I started doing that

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.679
<v Speaker 3>trying to think of the stories that are about me,

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.959
<v Speaker 3>which at the moment it's all like other love stories

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 3>or heartbreak. I'll probably get to a song about something

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 3>more soon. It just felt natural.

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, when I think of my favorite country music,

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>it's all storytelling. Like I think of songs like Goodbye

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Earl by the Chicks or like the Night the Lights

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Went Out in Georgia by like Reaba. They tell like

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 2>this whole story, and you almost you have to listen

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>to the whole thing to catch all of it because

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>there's like plot twists and like all of this kind

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. I love to hear like a narrative story

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 2>from you, something like like a Night the Lights Went

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Out in Georgia, where it starts off with like a

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 2>murder and then you find out who did it?

0:12:54.280 --> 0:13:10.559
<v Speaker 5>So cool, this is what I need from you?

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>And what was the support like to your switch to country.

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 3>At the moment, I've been really lucky that everyone's really supportive.

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 3>There's me in like two or three comments like you're

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 3>not about that life, and I'll be honest, I'm not,

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.640
<v Speaker 3>like even like, I don't really go out on my

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 3>way to call myself a cowboy, because that's a title

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.079
<v Speaker 3>that belongs to cowboys, right, Like, I think the title

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 3>that I use is just I'm a country music singer

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 3>because I make country music at the moment, and I

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 3>hope too for a long time. But at the moment,

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 3>it's because it's it's just my my audience is here in,

0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, so it's all just like, yeah, we love it.

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 3>It's different, you know. And then you have the likes

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 3>of mister Cowboys, so it's you know, he's already really

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 3>successful and you have a lot of other people coming

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 3>up too, so it's it's a bit more well received.

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.560
<v Speaker 3>But I assume in the years to come, you know,

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.199
<v Speaker 3>it's the American audience or the wanting overseas that I

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 3>have to you know, not convinced, but they'll probably be

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 3>the ones to give me a bit of issue. Yeah,

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 3>but at the moment it's been great.

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you kind of soft launched the country

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 2>career with that viral video a little more humble than that.

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Did you always like that? Was that the plan, like that,

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to make this, hopefully people take notice of

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 2>it and then start to go into country.

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 3>So I think the first country cover I did was

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 3>like two thousand and nineteen. Oh was me and Bonti.

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Facile was just like we try to make it sound

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 3>R and B. It was really great. I loved it.

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 3>So I just had this thing of like, I'll just

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 3>cover country songs just here and there. So I had

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 3>a song called running Back, produced by Astro who want

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 3>a PMA by the way, So we had a song

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 3>coming out and I hadn't been on social media for

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 3>a while because I was just being a dad for ages.

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, Okay, I need to put up

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 3>a cover and I was listening to that song for itch.

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 3>So that song is by a guy named Eastern Corbyn

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 3>and the original song is called a little More Country

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 3>than That. So I'd listened to that on the way

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 3>to work and every time we said country I'll say, Humble,

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 3>just quickly write it, check it on Instagram. It will

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 3>be funny as Yeah, I dropped that and Hummel like

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 3>went like this and run it Back was kind of

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 3>just like hidden.

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize they came out at the same time.

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 3>So I dropped Humble on Instagram on like Wednesday, and

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 3>they running backdropped on Friday, and no one remembers run Back,

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 3>but also like running Back, but.

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that it came out at that time.

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>It was like a retrospective.

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 3>It was just like it was so hidden, and I

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 3>felt bad for Esher the time because I was like,

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 3>we were working on this and then Humble came out.

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 3>I was like yeah, and I didn't even try very

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 3>hard with that, so to be honest, I remember.

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I just threw it on TikTok and I was like,

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 2>this is.

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 3>The q accent, I'll be honest. Other than the q accent,

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 3>it didn't sound very nice, you know, so I had

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 3>to put the twang on it.

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's hard. Well have you gotten used to it

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 1>as a well as a professional actor.

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 3>By the way, it is actually hard because we we

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 3>have a like really distinctive accent and all so when

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 3>you're trying to musket in the song as I have

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 3>to go back and re record like certain words and

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 3>vowel sounds. So but I think the longer you do

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 3>or the better you get at it, for sure.

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Can we talk about acting? So, Inky Pinky Punky was

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>just massive, huge, like I can't even talk to like

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>how many kids were talking about it, Like out on

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the streets, I'd walk past groups, They're all watching it.

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And we had JP and Nucky in the studio and man,

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>that blew up. So how did you get involved with

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that project? Did you envisage going into acting like that?

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've been acting for a while. Actually, I think

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 3>I was an actor before a musician.

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so that came first.

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 3>Also shadowt White.

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Sunday, I was.

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 3>So many times ago it's not fair, but no, it was.

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 3>It was really cool Inky specifically, I think Nucky approached

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 3>me or someone from the fresh team. They approached me

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 3>because I was doing heaps of dumb stuff on TikTok,

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 3>being like the red flag trend. You know, we're being

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 3>a little a problematic, and then hey, look we have

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 3>this character that we think could do. You think you

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 3>do really well? So when I auditioned for it, I

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 3>didn't hear back for a while and they're like, yeah,

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.359
<v Speaker 3>well you got it, you got it, sweet, you do it.

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 3>So the whole process of just filming Inky, I wasn't

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 3>sure to expect to be.

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Honest, like yeah, well you never do really, and then

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.199
<v Speaker 1>it's out there, it's getting perceived, and then it just

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>clocks like a million views.

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Now I'm just that person, like because when I meet people,

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.680
<v Speaker 3>they're just like Demetrius.

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.959
<v Speaker 2>The person sitting in front of us looks very very

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 2>different Demetrious.

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but they still see it, and so they kind

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 3>of like, I think, especially like the three four months

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.199
<v Speaker 3>after it was released, Yeah, they just thought I was

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:43.639
<v Speaker 3>that dude.

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Was that kind of overwhelming because Demetrius is not super nice,

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 2>He's like.

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.679
<v Speaker 3>A walking Yeah. I had to do a bit of

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 3>method acting for the ice to wake up the morning

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 3>and like look and like, yeah, you're.

0:17:54.200 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 2>That guy, bro, and he's still like that, so you

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 2>had to be.

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 3>We had a running joke on set that I wasn't acting.

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 3>So they're like, it's great because I don't do a

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of retakes, so I would like do a think yeah,

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 3>cool finish, And I was like, was that all right?

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 3>They're like, yeah, so that's how you know.

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 1>You must have been drawing that from somewhere. But I'm

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>very grateful for.

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Inky, you know, and I know that story is very

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 3>like important for a lot of people out there. So

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I was just glad to be a part of that.

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, it's kind of what I'm really well known for,

0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:34.000
<v Speaker 3>to be honest.

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, people must be surprised to go into your Instagram

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, oh, Frank, he's a country singer.

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 3>You take what you get.

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.919
<v Speaker 2>So when you introduce yourself, do you say you're a

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.159
<v Speaker 2>musician first, because you're also like a radio host and

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>an actor and then also a dad, Like what is

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the thing that you used to be? Like I'm the

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Western guide, I'm I.

0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Just say hi, Yeah, I'm like high, how's it going?

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't think, I think, because I do so many

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.479
<v Speaker 3>different things, it's kind of hard to just be like,

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm only a country singer a musician, so I don't

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 3>really really say.

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I love that, but not like putting yourself in a

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 2>box that's really important.

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I've always believed in that, and I

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 3>think that's why the genres whiches have been kind of so,

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, because I've always told myself that I don't

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.640
<v Speaker 3>want to be defined to a genre a little bit

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.880
<v Speaker 3>like how Chris Brown does whatever genre he wants and everyone.

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I think it's cool for us to just

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:31.920
<v Speaker 3>try different things. If it works, it works. If it doesn't,

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.159
<v Speaker 3>then up to you. If you like it, then no worries.

0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I love the bottom of the video, it's so good,

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.439
<v Speaker 2>as I do love all the videos you made with

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Tara Patch. What's it like to work with the creative

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>team like that because it feels like they really get

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 2>you truly. Yeah.

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think first and foremost, I got to thank

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 3>my brother Samson Rambo. That's where the connection came from.

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 3>So me and Samson were like, we're broader, so we

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 3>were like, hey, let's do this idea. I went to him,

0:19:58.040 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I really want you to direct this

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:02.680
<v Speaker 3>music video, which is save Her Mine, and so he's like, cool,

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 3>leave with me. I'll get a team together. And so

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 3>him and Teresa Tereslowe also she she produced seving My

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.320
<v Speaker 3>They went away and then they came back. They let

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 3>me just focus on being an artist, but they kind

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.880
<v Speaker 3>of gathered that whole team. You know the title Patch Team,

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 3>and that's where I initially made it one of mine.

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.119
<v Speaker 3>So it was just really cool to be amongst him

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 3>because they just they just get it, really get it.

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 3>I honestly, when we were see I was like, look out,

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.120
<v Speaker 3>just leave with you guys. I'll just whatever you want

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 3>to do, just thought. So when I saw the setups

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 3>so sever mine for the first time, I was like

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 3>losing my marbles, Like, yeah, sea was everywhere, and then

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 3>there's the water thing. I was like, okay, cool. And

0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 3>so when we when we finally came around to bottom

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.119
<v Speaker 3>of the bed, so Ista, the director, I was just

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 3>at the title pat as a joke, like I think

0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 3>I was just hanging out and she's like, hey, let

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 3>me do a video for you. I thought she was joking.

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 3>I was like, yeah, whatever, you know, we'll do it,

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.160
<v Speaker 3>and so she took that idea. We got the funding

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 3>and then I'm pretty much you know, shot at Esta

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.679
<v Speaker 3>Vera Rachel as well, who produced it. They kind of

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 3>did the whole thing. They have all their context pulled everyone.

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm so grateful because you know who am I I'm

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 3>just like, you know, just a little kid from.

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Stalk together someone.

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so it's cool, and I honestly want to

0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:21.120
<v Speaker 3>work with them, Like for every music video realistically, you've

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 3>got to, you know, try different people and stuff. So

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I probably won't do that because I just keep approaching

0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 3>it and watch more work. But yeah, no, I love

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:30.520

<v Speaker 2>So it was an email, yeah.

<v Speaker 3>Because I was like, oh, I'd better like say something

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 3>really like proper, because I don't want to be like,

0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 3>oh sorry, I'm actually like flat out right now. So

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 3>I was trying to think of either the real casual

0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 3>approach all the real like that was very I was

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:08.400
<v Speaker 3>on a conversation with my manager, so for context, we

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 3>was listening. I was asked to come on earlier on

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:12.199
<v Speaker 3>in the year, and so I was speaking to my

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:13.840
<v Speaker 3>manager at that time. I think we're getting ready to

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 3>film Bottom of the Bed. I was like, there's a

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of things going do we have the capacity to,

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 3>you know? And so we decided maybe not right now

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 3>because there's too many things going on. It was like, okay,

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 3>so how do I say like no but very politely.

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.679
<v Speaker 2>I've never such a.

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Like of like you were about to say.

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Some as well. I like wrote out like a drifts

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 3>into my manager and she was like, let me write

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.399
<v Speaker 3>it for this cool and so I sent that out

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 3>and I saw as I was flying, I was like, damn,

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 3>I should have taken it stuck right now, thank you

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 3>for inviting.

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful. I'm so grateful that you took the

0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 2>We get before we get into our rapid fire. We

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 2>want to know what's next for Coach West.

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, usually I have an answer for this when I

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:16.920
<v Speaker 3>want to have this question, but I think lately it's

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.280
<v Speaker 3>kind of been I don't know. That's a.

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a.

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of a great area right now. There's a

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.119
<v Speaker 3>lot of things I've said I want to do, but

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 3>now I'm like, do I want to do that? You know,

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I've been saying I was going to do a EP

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 3>this year, and the more I write, the more I'm like, actually,

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:31.879
<v Speaker 3>I should probably like wait off because I kind of

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 3>want to put a little bit more if a little

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 3>bit more time, you know.

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 2>So do you see yourself creating like a body of work,

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.680
<v Speaker 2>like a debut album or something. Liking the little single?

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 3>So sure, I think obviously like the industry will tell

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 3>you like don't do an album or EP until again,

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 3>like you need it, Like when people we need more,

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.119
<v Speaker 3>we need more. But I think when you're in a

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:52.919
<v Speaker 3>space and you're writing, like right now, I'm in country,

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:54.879
<v Speaker 3>so I'm trying to like write out finding that my

0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:57.879
<v Speaker 3>writing is changing as I'm like making more music. So

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 3>like something I wrote a couple of months ago to

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:01.360
<v Speaker 3>me now so like, ah, it's a bit old too.

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.160
<v Speaker 3>So I think what's next is just to keep writing,

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 3>get on the pharone a little bit more, just spend

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.440
<v Speaker 3>time being a dad. I think that's like my favorite

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 3>thing to do is just hang out with my kid. Yeah,

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 3>to get a karate recently, it was so fun. Oh,

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm like I want to do this's great. I think

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just that, I think just allowing myself

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 3>to just live in my moment, like just you know,

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 3>live life a little bit and not to be so

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:33.280
<v Speaker 3>worried about what I got to do, what's coming up next,

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 3>what's like to get to the stage I'm going to

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 3>do this. This This is just like you know, what

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 3>if it if it comes to me, it comes, it

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 3>comes to me.

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Such a wonderful answer.

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:46.239
<v Speaker 2>We don't chase. We attract very absolutely very so if

0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 2>you're there.

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.840

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 2>From west Side on. We were in Newland. That was terrifying.

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:15.960
<v Speaker 2>No shady west Side. That was just not a good night.

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.439
<v Speaker 3>But that's like that's a thing though, because growing up,

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 3>whenever I'd go south, I feel like it's a whole

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 3>different thing.

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:24.800

<v Speaker 3>growing up, you know this is not just me by

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 3>the way, this is what was put on to me

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:39.959
<v Speaker 3>as a kid. We will talk that west Siders are

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 3>better than south Siders. You know, up until I was

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.160
<v Speaker 3>about maybe thirteen, I was like, hold on, what the same?

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we are quite.

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:56.840

<v Speaker 1>go to for food out with.

<v Speaker 3>That's a hard one. There's so many places. Again, it

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:15.240
<v Speaker 3>comes down to like it depends, like what do you

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.760

<v Speaker 3>raised in himself if you know where to is. There's

0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 3>a little look out there where they usually lock the

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 3>gates after you can see the sky tower and.

0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:58.480

<v Speaker 2>to mission by no, no no, just for a walk.

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 3>And I felt and seeing some things.

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>That no, no, no no.

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 3>I want to put it to do with Bubba. It

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 3>was the first time I met her. She was a

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:20.120
<v Speaker 3>little bit scary back then, you know, from celebrity, so

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 3>she was kind of in her like real rebellious stage.

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 3>And we're hanging out, we're trying to do a podcast together. Yeah,

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:26.919
<v Speaker 3>and she's like, I'm just get for a drive and

0:28:26.960 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 3>drove me out to pok and were sitting at the

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 3>car and this car comes up like on the road

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 3>in the and I like locked the door straight away

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 3>and she starts laughing. She's like, you scaredy cat. This

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 3>guy is scaredy And I was like they were just

0:28:45.480 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 3>they wanted to light her, That's what they wanted. She

0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 3>was like, I cannot believe you just locked the doors.

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:51.840
<v Speaker 3>You racist, and like.

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 2>This episode is going to cancel you. Yes, I was.

0:28:57.600 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I was young.

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Out there. It was funny, but I always remember that reason.

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I was like, damn it, Bubble. She'll probably tell that

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 3>really shame me for it.

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>But Buba's another person that we tried so hard to get.

0:29:13.960 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we just doesn't. She just doesn't reply tonything. She's

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 3>terrible reply to my messages.

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Lastly, beast place out for fun, Like where's a nice

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:30.840
<v Speaker 1>recreational place like pools or somewhere to play sports.

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I think people might say West Wave,

0:29:35.560 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, but West Wave pools, But I think I

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:43.960
<v Speaker 3>think it's important to just say Past Park. Everybody knows

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Past Park, you know. It's it's kind of ey, that's

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 3>kind of our big park that we have, like touch

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 3>the random people just jump up on the field and

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 3>play touch together and then comps used to be there

0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 3>as well. The football fans. They have their like soccer

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.840
<v Speaker 3>fields there. So I think past Park is like the

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:07.200
<v Speaker 3>that's the spot. It's the spot for fun. What do

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 3>you say? Yeah, aside from the other sort of fun

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 3>things that we do, like hang a bar, but we

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:12.400
<v Speaker 3>won't get into that.

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Because I hang up is that and Henderson?

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 3>I think that's that's one of the only like main

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 3>bars that's been around for ages.

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, it's really wholesome fun.

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:22.920
<v Speaker 3>What's sort of funny?

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 2>No no, I didn't actually know what type of fun

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:27.880
<v Speaker 2>bear because he did the game that's your fun, and

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:29.280
<v Speaker 2>I was like, fun.

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Fun, what's like to play around?

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 3>That's that's very like vague playing around.

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 2>It's also very vague. Isn't groove by out west or.

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:49.800
<v Speaker 1>There's like Mount Eden cross the road from Eaton Park?

0:30:49.920 --> 0:30:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Sorry the groove.

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:55.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just because it's on the western line. I can't drive.

0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I can't drive, so use both can't It's just like

0:30:58.960 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 3>a non driving show.

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:06.880
<v Speaker 2>I have no license, no drive.

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 3>I was driving on no license for three years.

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 2>No no, no, no, like I got any car and like

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not good, like a phobia. It's like a phobia

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit.

0:31:17.200 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, no, no, I'm really interested.

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 2>So I went to school in Central but live and

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 2>brought up out South, so always public transport and then

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I only drove a car for the first time maybe

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 2>like a month ago. They go over ten k's. I

0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 2>think the max I went was thirteen k What was teifying? Yes,

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 2>it was terrifying, Like some people are like that.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 3>I want to be supportive, but it's okay.

0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 2>You don't have It's okay because people always meet me,

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 2>they're like, wow, you you're you have a master's but

0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 2>you can't drive. And I'm like, Rick, what would they say?

0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Because like very very intelligent, but the one thing that

0:32:04.000 --> 0:32:05.560
<v Speaker 2>you can't do is drive a car.

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>That's really in the school though, like you don't need

0:32:08.360 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 1>to drive in today's world, like we have Uber and stuff.

0:32:11.560 --> 0:32:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Like that, but it's so expensive.

0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Just try like real small.

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:17.719
<v Speaker 2>That's a really good idea.

0:32:19.360 --> 0:32:32.440
<v Speaker 4>Ride a bike, okay, two wheels to three wheels?

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>What's the three wheel a trike?

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:40.480
<v Speaker 3>I think it trikes like five wheels or something.

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, no, I think that does three wheels, like

0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>you have two training wheels at the bit.

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Look, but I really hope you get over that

0:32:50.320 --> 0:32:52.760
<v Speaker 3>much fun. It helps, like with like when you're just

0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:57.479
<v Speaker 3>down sometimes late night truly yeah, and then you just speed.

0:32:57.800 --> 0:33:04.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean okay, I think there's two words belong together.

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:06.160
<v Speaker 3>It'll be good.

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:10.680
