00:00:58,605 --> 00:01:01,365
Speaker 3: Yes, there's two hockey players who fall in love their

18
00:01:01,485 --> 00:01:03,845
Speaker 3: rivals and then they become lovers, and so there's a

19
00:01:03,845 --> 00:01:07,165
Speaker 3: look like and that's why it's Heated Rivals exactly exactly,

23
00:01:16,805 --> 00:01:20,165
Speaker 3: decided to hold a lookalike competition. But we also didn't

24
00:01:20,165 --> 00:01:22,765
Speaker 3: really know what that meant, like what do you just

25
00:01:22,925 --> 00:01:23,605
Speaker 3: walk around?

26
00:01:23,685 --> 00:01:24,805
Speaker 4: Like what does it involved?

27
00:01:24,845 --> 00:01:26,445
Speaker 1: So on Friday you were talking about there she knew

28
00:01:26,485 --> 00:01:29,125
Speaker 1: thought you had. You were allocated two minutes to do.

29
00:01:29,245 --> 00:01:31,205
Speaker 1: You didn't really know every idea what you were doing.

30
00:01:31,245 --> 00:01:34,205
Speaker 3: They didn't tell us, And I totally couldn't have been

31
00:01:34,285 --> 00:01:36,205
Speaker 3: less prepared for what I was walking into.

32
00:01:36,485 --> 00:01:38,485
Speaker 4: So we get to the nightclub and we've produced a teena.

33
00:01:38,565 --> 00:01:41,525
Speaker 3: She's sort of like my posse, my my my tour manager.

34
00:01:41,845 --> 00:01:42,885
Speaker 4: We rock up to the night.

35
00:01:42,845 --> 00:01:44,365
Speaker 2: And that's quite a look you two.

36
00:01:45,325 --> 00:01:47,685
Speaker 1: So you got you dressed as a gay hockey player

37
00:01:47,725 --> 00:01:50,925
Speaker 1: and then you've got the old Greek nonnor in waiting. Yes,

38
00:01:51,205 --> 00:01:55,565
Speaker 1: like Entourage they always were on with Canaloney.

39
00:01:56,445 --> 00:01:58,205

Speaker 4: Yeah, if she's on my shoulder.

41
00:01:59,325 --> 00:02:02,245
Speaker 3: We walk up to the nightclub and immediately joined the

42
00:02:02,285 --> 00:02:06,205
Speaker 3: floor because there is a Q around the block, five

43
00:02:06,285 --> 00:02:10,365
Speaker 3: hundred people around. We need around the corner.

44
00:02:11,085 --> 00:02:11,805
Speaker 4: I walk in.

45
00:02:12,085 --> 00:02:16,605
Speaker 3: People immediately start shrieking like like Harry Styles had just

46
00:02:16,645 --> 00:02:17,325
Speaker 3: walked past them.

47
00:02:17,445 --> 00:02:21,165
Speaker 1: It was it was crazy, And described describe the people there,

48
00:02:21,525 --> 00:02:24,965
Speaker 1: ninety straight millennial women like pretty you're joking.

49
00:02:27,045 --> 00:02:32,845
Speaker 4: Yes, very what's the what's the right word? Very yes,

50
00:02:33,165 --> 00:02:35,605
Speaker 4: very very. They were ready to go. They were they

51
00:02:35,605 --> 00:02:38,565
Speaker 4: were absolutely very excited for this this event.

52
00:02:38,645 --> 00:02:40,725
Speaker 2: You would have needed more protection than just Tina.

53
00:02:41,005 --> 00:02:42,205
Speaker 4: Yes, well I know.

54
00:02:42,245 --> 00:02:46,725
Speaker 1: And as soon as they could have carried out there

55
00:02:46,085 --> 00:02:46,525
Speaker 1: they were.

56
00:02:46,805 --> 00:02:47,484
Speaker 4: They were.

57
00:02:48,925 --> 00:02:54,085
Speaker 3: So drunk, drunk, excited and excitable animate.

58
00:02:55,245 --> 00:02:58,565
Speaker 4: What a great I've never had a reception like that

59
00:02:58,605 --> 00:02:59,085
Speaker 4: in my life.

60
00:02:59,245 --> 00:02:59,685
Speaker 2: Crazy.

61
00:03:00,005 --> 00:03:03,405
Speaker 3: And so they are packing there's like a DJ stage,

62
00:03:03,445 --> 00:03:05,725
Speaker 3: a small stage where imagine, like I don't know, performers

63
00:03:05,725 --> 00:03:09,205
Speaker 3: come up occasionally and they're packed in like sarting, and

64
00:03:09,245 --> 00:03:11,645
Speaker 3: there's twelve of us lined up. About a dozen people

65
00:03:12,005 --> 00:03:15,685
Speaker 3: entered the competition and we walk up on stage and

66
00:03:15,725 --> 00:03:18,005
Speaker 3: they are going. It was like it was a Beatlemania

67
00:03:18,045 --> 00:03:20,605
Speaker 3: as far as I was concerned, Like it was did you.

68
00:03:20,565 --> 00:03:22,805
Speaker 2: Do one by one? Did you have to speak?

69
00:03:22,885 --> 00:03:25,365
Speaker 3: There was four or five different rounds where they eliminated

70
00:03:25,405 --> 00:03:29,764
Speaker 3: someone each round. So it started off, you know, just

71
00:03:29,845 --> 00:03:33,085
Speaker 3: very simple, just doing very basic impersonations, and then as

72
00:03:33,085 --> 00:03:35,965
Speaker 3: the night went on, as people drank more, it became

73
00:03:36,085 --> 00:03:42,085
Speaker 3: more and more adventurous, more raunchy. I guess you would say,

74
00:03:42,205 --> 00:03:44,525
Speaker 3: as you didn't strip off.

75
00:03:45,005 --> 00:03:47,005
Speaker 4: But what I didn't fully strip off.

76
00:03:47,205 --> 00:03:51,445
Speaker 3: There was definitely some shirt action going on. My pants

77
00:03:51,445 --> 00:03:56,085
Speaker 3: stayed on the whole time, but there was definitely as

78
00:03:56,165 --> 00:03:59,965
Speaker 3: bush as you get deep into the competition, some re

79
00:04:00,125 --> 00:04:05,485
Speaker 3: enacting that had to be done, so not that speed specifically,

80
00:04:05,525 --> 00:04:05,925
Speaker 3: but we.

81
00:04:06,045 --> 00:04:10,885
Speaker 2: Had an from a listener who was there and let

82
