It's good. 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: You've become a real built of this series. You know, 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 2: you go twenty seconds, You're getting louder and louder. I'm 16 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: enjoying it. 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: It's a bit of a joke that I've been going 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: through the Jock and Andy Vocal Training Academy over the 19 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: last year and a half and the first time call 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: I think if you rewind back to the very very 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: first one, I wasn't very good, and so they've taken 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: it upon themselves to teach me to really project. And 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: thirty seconds is the day at the count and the 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: day that's only mine, so you'll only ever see me 25 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: do it. And it's just my little litmus test every day. 26 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: And so if I get the kink of approval from Jock, 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: then I'm good to go. 28 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 2: I must say, you eat very well. Is it true 29 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: that you have been practicing eating in front. 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: Of a mirror? It's the best dream of going around? Sure? 31 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: Why not? No, Look, I eat, I put food in 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: my mouth, and I've been putting food in my mouth 33 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: so quiet sometime now, so I think I know how 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: to do it. 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: You haven't seen us do it, because if we're on 36 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: that show and it looked like we're in a pie 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: eating competition, they just put food all over their faces. 38 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: That would also be quite entertaining too. I'm sure. 39 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: Wait. We talked to Jock about whether we had to 40 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: go into training before this season kicks off because of 41 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: all the food you have to consume, and he said 42 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: he's one of those irritating characters. He has a huge 43 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: appetite and burns it off instantly. How do you feel 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: about all the food you have to consume? 45 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: I look, I take it as part of my job. 46 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: There are days that I can handle it better than others, 47 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: and we all look in or in slight shock of 48 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: Jock every single day and wonder where he puts it 49 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: because he doesn't. I don't think he's ever been to 50 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: the gym once in his entire life, I know, And 51 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: it's just one of those guys that he just eats 52 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: and it just automatically just evaporates into nothing. I, however, 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: do struggle from time to time and when we do 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: have some challenging days where there is a lot of 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: food going on. But you know that just means I 56 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: don't need to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner off camera. 57 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: Now, can I ask you this great, Do you have 58 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: a little secret spit bucket. 59 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: That's never happened? Actually, no, that's definitely never happens. I 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: think when you're eating food in front of people that 61 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: tried so hard. 62 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: To make yes, you couldn't. 63 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: It's such a respect thing. Even if I was Serfore, 64 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I could ever do it. 65 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: You can't do no, not in front of them. But 66 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: I think you might. You know, that's a nice shuck 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: it up into a bucket, But I know, when we're 68 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: filming the living room and sometimes we have to do 69 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: take after take of big big cakes or something like that. 70 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: I think, you know, would anyone mind if I just 71 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: spat this into a tissue for a moment, you know, 72 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: that kind of thing. But if people have loving me 73 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: made it for you, it's different. 74 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just always ticking in the back of my mind. 75 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: So I think even if it was back of house, 76 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't think I could do it. 77 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: We'll save that for a secret tip for another time. 78 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: That that could be another show that they play on ten. 79 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: Peach Melissa just chuck stuff. I'd watch that. I would 80 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: not I'd watch that show a strange finish world.
