0:00:22.645 --> 0:00:29.605
<v Speaker 1>show podcast. Christian, thank you very much to playing Abba

0:00:30.085 --> 0:00:30.764
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes ago.

0:00:30.845 --> 0:00:32.605
<v Speaker 2>Exactly what I needed to hear and get me going

0:00:32.604 --> 0:00:35.685
<v Speaker 2>today after three weeks off and my first day back

0:00:35.685 --> 0:00:38.325
<v Speaker 2>at work. Actually, one are the odds you play Abba

0:00:38.604 --> 0:00:39.964
<v Speaker 2>and I'm listening to the show for the first time

0:00:39.965 --> 0:00:42.004
<v Speaker 2>in three weeks. I've been to Europe, I've been to

0:00:42.045 --> 0:00:46.405
<v Speaker 2>London where I went to see Abba Voyage Lucky thing. Yeah,

0:00:46.405 --> 0:00:48.324
<v Speaker 2>I'm so jealous. It doesn't look like it's going to

0:00:48.365 --> 0:00:50.684
<v Speaker 2>be coming here, which is a real shame. Now talk

0:00:50.725 --> 0:00:53.325
<v Speaker 2>about Abba we have on the show. I didn't realize Tina,

0:00:53.324 --> 0:00:55.485
<v Speaker 2>who's a lovely producer on the show, I didn't realize

0:00:55.525 --> 0:00:56.764
<v Speaker 2>it's a mega Abba fan.

0:00:56.805 --> 0:00:59.205
<v Speaker 1>Did you know that? Patch Oh I didn't. Oh no, no, no.

0:00:59.325 --> 0:01:01.565
<v Speaker 2>She came in and she started. She was screaming earlier

0:01:01.565 --> 0:01:04.045
<v Speaker 2>when we were talking on here. Not unusual for the

0:01:04.045 --> 0:01:07.205
<v Speaker 2>producer to be screaming at me, mainly about something I'm

0:01:07.245 --> 0:01:10.884
<v Speaker 2>getting wrong or saying. But we were getting the name.

0:01:11.405 --> 0:01:13.765
<v Speaker 2>The name we thought was Arnie. Isn't the name of

0:01:13.845 --> 0:01:15.084
<v Speaker 2>the second lady in Abba?

0:01:15.405 --> 0:01:16.765
<v Speaker 1>Tina? What's the name?

0:01:17.125 --> 0:01:25.365
<v Speaker 3>So it's Anna Freed, but it's Frida orhere's Annie from?

0:01:25.445 --> 0:01:26.765
<v Speaker 1>Where are we getting Annie from?

0:01:26.925 --> 0:01:27.565
<v Speaker 3>Any fred?

0:01:28.005 --> 0:01:28.645
<v Speaker 1>Any fred?

0:01:28.725 --> 0:01:28.925
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

<v Speaker 1>I see?

0:01:29.725 --> 0:01:31.645
<v Speaker 2>And the other thing is I did not know, not

0:01:31.805 --> 0:01:35.765
<v Speaker 2>a rio that the Abba name comes from their initials.

0:01:36.245 --> 0:01:40.005

<v Speaker 1>Don't know what he knew. Do you know that I

0:01:42.725 --> 0:01:44.045
<v Speaker 1>did not know that. I didn't know that. I mean

0:01:47.285 --> 0:01:50.165
<v Speaker 3>But Anna Freda.

0:01:53.205 --> 0:01:57.205
<v Speaker 2>It should be fab Yeah, is a great name.

0:01:57.245 --> 0:01:58.405
<v Speaker 1>Rename them rebrand.

0:01:59.285 --> 0:02:02.125
<v Speaker 2>I want to tell them, Patsy, did you did you

0:02:02.165 --> 0:02:03.725
<v Speaker 2>know Abbo each the initials?

0:02:04.005 --> 0:02:06.565
<v Speaker 3>Well, I couldn't. I never remember the fourth member of

0:02:06.605 --> 0:02:07.685
<v Speaker 3>the group. That's the trouble.

0:02:07.805 --> 0:02:11.125
<v Speaker 2>Yes, because it shouldn't be Yeah. And the other thing

0:02:11.165 --> 0:02:12.805
<v Speaker 2>is Tina was telling me that as part of her

0:02:12.965 --> 0:02:16.845
<v Speaker 2>interview process here, she was asked to cast Abba of

0:02:16.885 --> 0:02:19.885
<v Speaker 2>the movie, and I was like, what do you mean. Yeah,

0:02:19.885 --> 0:02:22.405
<v Speaker 2>apparently it's a test to see Howard integrate with the team.

0:02:23.045 --> 0:02:28.125
<v Speaker 2>That's the integration test to join my team is cast

0:02:28.165 --> 0:02:30.565
<v Speaker 2>the Abber movie. I don't understand if it was like

0:02:30.725 --> 0:02:34.005
<v Speaker 2>Springsteen movie or stuff like that. Tina, Please, what was

0:02:34.005 --> 0:02:37.325
<v Speaker 2>your answer that landed you radio's hottest gig in town

0:02:37.725 --> 0:02:39.005
<v Speaker 2>working on this dream team?

0:02:39.165 --> 0:02:40.885
<v Speaker 1>What how did you cast it? I'm curious.

0:02:40.965 --> 0:02:43.085
<v Speaker 3>Well, I got to choose which biopic I wanted, So

0:02:43.085 --> 0:02:46.645
<v Speaker 3>I chose Abba, So then fag Nitha. I chose Sidney Sweeney,

0:02:46.645 --> 0:02:47.645
<v Speaker 3>which I might change now.

0:02:47.685 --> 0:02:50.365
<v Speaker 1>But why did you called him Sidney Sweeney? Because that

0:02:50.445 --> 0:02:56.725
<v Speaker 1>Jean's advert pretty much? We live in an outrage age,

0:02:56.765 --> 0:03:02.045
<v Speaker 1>don't we? All right? So not she's off the project, Yeah, she's.

0:03:01.885 --> 0:03:03.925
<v Speaker 3>Off, but that's part. That's the time I said that

0:03:04.325 --> 0:03:07.645
<v Speaker 3>Freda with Elvis's granddaughter Riley Keel. I don't know how

0:03:07.645 --> 0:03:10.605
<v Speaker 3>I said last name o kyo. Yeah, yeah, she'd be great.

0:03:10.645 --> 0:03:12.685
<v Speaker 3>I reckon beyond Tom Holland.

0:03:13.965 --> 0:03:17.525
<v Speaker 2>No no, no, no, no, no no no no no.

0:03:17.725 --> 0:03:21.845
<v Speaker 2>Way's boyish. You can play a children's movie like Spider

0:03:21.885 --> 0:03:22.245
<v Speaker 2>Man and that.

0:03:22.365 --> 0:03:23.725
<v Speaker 1>But no, he's not. He's not.

0:03:23.965 --> 0:03:24.204
<v Speaker 2>It's not.

0:03:24.725 --> 0:03:26.845
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't that got the kind of gravitas to pull that off?

0:03:27.365 --> 0:03:28.045
<v Speaker 1>Too lightlyight?

0:03:28.805 --> 0:03:32.045
<v Speaker 3>I reckon he'd be a perfect beyond Benny Chris Pratt.

0:03:32.485 --> 0:03:39.045
<v Speaker 1>Oh, well, it's quite a mix. So Sidney Sweeney, Tom

0:03:39.365 --> 0:03:40.645
<v Speaker 1>Sidney Sweeney is off the project.

0:03:42.245 --> 0:03:45.765
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that is a strange interview question. If any

<v Speaker 2>started the show, and I came out with my family

0:03:58.005 --> 0:03:59.445

<v Speaker 2>if we actually do want to move here.

0:04:01.205 --> 0:04:03.085
<v Speaker 1>And I had a dinner with.

0:04:03.245 --> 0:04:06.085
<v Speaker 2>All the management here, and I remember one of them

0:04:06.125 --> 0:04:08.125
<v Speaker 2>just said to me, Okay, what do you do?

0:04:08.285 --> 0:04:11.005
<v Speaker 1>How do you connect with someone who hates English people?

0:04:11.565 --> 0:04:12.045
<v Speaker 1>I think he was.

0:04:12.045 --> 0:04:15.285
<v Speaker 2>Obviously had Patsy money, you know, and so it was like,

0:04:15.325 --> 0:04:19.244
