Speaker 2: I haven't actually listened to it yet. So you were
Speaker 2: going to play it for us here.
Speaker 3: Right the chat? Yeah? Then I've got some stuff to
Speaker 3: talk about after it.
Speaker 2: So do I I've got a bone to pick a
Speaker 2: few about this interview me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you heard it?
Speaker 2: No, I haven't heard the interview. But there's something else.
Speaker 3: About the whole event.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but I heard that you were saying that
Speaker 2: you were worried that she hates you, because it's something
Speaker 2: you said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, not she hated me. I was worried.
Speaker 4: It didn't start off I made a joke that did
Speaker 4: not land anyway fit at all.
Speaker 3: After a roll the interview here it is, Hello, Hi,
Speaker 3: how are we?
Speaker 5: I'm really good?
Speaker 3: Is there this rubbish where we are?
Speaker 5: I know it's terrible awful.
Speaker 3: I mean, let's paint a picture.
Speaker 4: I think I saw a sea turtle just beneath our
Speaker 4: feet before.
Speaker 3: Was stunning.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the water is so clear.
Speaker 3: Crystal clear. We're in Hamilton Island. I mean, look at us.
Speaker 5: Go I know you.
Speaker 4: Yesterday I was in my hotel room. I was trying
Speaker 4: to geo locate where you were. I'm like, can I
Speaker 4: go find do a leaper and swim out to you?
Speaker 4: But no, would not have worked. Very excited to have you.
Speaker 4: How are you feeling? So the time of this recording,
Speaker 4: you've done amas, hopped on a plane and you went
Speaker 4: to Arias a night of Knights.
Speaker 3: How did that happen?
Speaker 5: Is that like a slogan for it, the night of Nights?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's our Like I.
Speaker 6: Feel like people say that a lot, the Arias the
Speaker 6: Night of Nights. I'm like, wow, we.
Speaker 3: Don't have much else. We have.
Speaker 4: Aris is our Grammys, and then the logis is our
Speaker 4: Golden Globes. Cool, and we only have the two and
Speaker 4: then we get like a big star every year, and
Speaker 4: you were the star. Talk to me about that. So
Speaker 4: you had Amas. The performance was incredible.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Do you do the same chry for every show we've.
Speaker 6: For this song, we've been making it a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but we just kind of modify it for every performance
Speaker 6: depending on the stage, and we just change it up
Speaker 6: a little bit. But yeah, it's the same choreography. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's almost like because we didn't really do choreography for
Speaker 6: the music video. The music video was very like free
Speaker 6: form and fun, kind of like a crazy night out,
Speaker 6: but the choreography just was like it brought like a
Speaker 6: new dimension to the song and was really fun to
Speaker 6: do it because it's very like disco orientated, and so
Speaker 6: it was only right to just have an ongoing choreography part.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Amas on a plane, two Arias and now you're here.
Speaker 4: You did Sunrise this morning. Yeah, it was a pleasure
Speaker 4: to watch you. It was crazy.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I made so much? Are you exhausted?
Speaker 5: Do you know what?
Speaker 2: I'm all right?
Speaker 6: Actually waking up at three am bizarrely was okay because
Speaker 6: of the jet lag, Like it was like midday in
Speaker 6: London some right, So I'm feeling I'm feeling very okay with.
Speaker 3: The rein cycle, so it's it's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm more off to Tokyo tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Fun. Are you missing home?
Speaker 6: I've only just started my trip abroad. Of course I
Speaker 6: always miss like my family and my friends. But it's
Speaker 6: all worth it. I'm so happy to get to do
Speaker 6: what I what I.
Speaker 3: Love when don't start now.
Speaker 4: Before it came out, I got an email from Grace
Speaker 4: from your label, and she was like, we want you
Speaker 4: to hear the song, and like at the radio station,
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm just a nobody, you know, like like
Speaker 4: a shitkicker.
Speaker 3: So they're like, we want you to hear the song. No,
Speaker 3: it's true. It is true.
Speaker 4: Like I was cleaning the basement of the radio station
Speaker 4: a year ago, now on the air with you, So
Speaker 4: I pinched myself moment I love so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was mitched the coffee bitch.
Speaker 6: So I I think everyone's got to start somewhere. But
Speaker 6: it's amazing and inspiring that you've done that thing.
Speaker 3: If you look at this, so happy.
Speaker 4: I made a vanilla latte for Fifth Harmony once, but
Speaker 4: I didn't have any vanilla, so I put eight sugars
Speaker 4: in each and they were like, we'll get it. We'll
Speaker 4: get a vanilla latte please. I'm like, no worries can
Speaker 4: do and pumped it with sugar and they did not
Speaker 4: know the difference.
Speaker 3: You gotta make it work.
Speaker 5: I'm dying.
Speaker 3: I know when I watched YouTube tutorials and had a froth.
Speaker 3: Milk was you know you.
Speaker 5: Maybe that's what I mean. It's like, you make do
Speaker 5: with what you've got.
Speaker 4: You got a hush, you are exactly right. And they said,
Speaker 4: we want you to hit the song, and I was like, okay, great.
Speaker 4: So what they did was they put someone in a taxi.
Speaker 4: They sent them to work with a UI boom. We
Speaker 4: sat in like a broom closet so no one else
Speaker 4: could hear. And then we put the volume.
Speaker 3: On like six and like, okay, so this is the song.
Speaker 4: No one can hear it, but we're playing it to
Speaker 4: you so you can talk about it on the show
Speaker 4: when it comes out.
Speaker 3: I'm like, great, we played it on volume three.
Speaker 4: We both had to lean into this UI boom and
Speaker 4: then we're bopping our heads along and then we hit
Speaker 4: a cow bell and then we just stop.
Speaker 3: I mean the cow bell just stops the nation.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: I know everyone's going to be asking you about the
Speaker 4: cow bell, but I want to know. Was it a
Speaker 4: literal cow bell, like a real one or was it
Speaker 4: like a button affect cow bell?
Speaker 5: Do you know what? Are you to have to ask Ian?
Speaker 6: He's the one who went in andto like the production
Speaker 6: for it, so I have to ask the mastermind. But
Speaker 6: I have a good feeling it's a real one because
Speaker 6: Ian loves to keep really crazy instruments around.
Speaker 3: Right, So you never actually I saw a literal cow bell.
Speaker 5: I didn't see the literal.
Speaker 4: I was hoping there was a cow bell and an
Speaker 4: action from to a leaper and we'd see it.
Speaker 5: It was actually me doing the cow bell.
Speaker 3: We love the song. How do you feel is that?
Speaker 3: I feel like you can just make that the album.
Speaker 3: Just put that on ten times.
Speaker 5: I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Don't you feel proud of the song?
Speaker 6: I'm really I'm really proud of it. I'm really proud
Speaker 6: of the album in general. It's it's a lot of
Speaker 6: fun and I feel like I've grown so much as
Speaker 6: an artist, and I'm just excited for you guys.
Speaker 5: Here the rest of the music.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when are we getting it a couple of days, right,
Speaker 4: the title.

Speaker 4: they never turned up.

Speaker 3: That's how I feel.

Speaker 6: But thank you so much, thank you much.
Speaker 3: That last bit.
Speaker 2: She really yeah, not that she sounded like she didn't
Speaker 2: like you at the star, but she warmed up to
Speaker 2: you by the end, like you guys are having fun.
Speaker 2: I was good on you and she likes you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the end, we were having real fun. To
Speaker 3: get hurt to yell off. You should have seen it.
Speaker 4: The photos are on. Actually we'll put one up on iGEM.
Speaker 4: You will, but I'll do it.
Speaker 2: If it's not there. It's because we're relying on Mitchell's memory.
Speaker 4: Regton and I got it a yell off the balcony
Speaker 4: we'll put the footge jup, I'll put the foota jump,
Speaker 4: And I was surprised that happened. She kind of looked
Speaker 4: at her label. There was about twenty people off camera.
Speaker 4: There were twenty there were two makeup people, there were
Speaker 4: the label people, there was a manager, there was.
Speaker 3: Two security guards.
Speaker 2: I'd hate that.
Speaker 4: It was intense and I was a bit thrown. So
Speaker 4: I think that's what happened at the start of the interview,
Speaker 4: but it was great by the end.
Speaker 2: So why were you worried that she hated you? You
Speaker 2: said that you were worried that you offended her, but
Speaker 2: there was nothing offensive in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, so I made a joke before the MIC's
Speaker 4: were rolling.
Speaker 3: It was sort of I sat down.
Speaker 2: She just wasn't in it.
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't in the interview. It was while everyone
Speaker 4: was setting up around us. So I was there sitting there,
Speaker 4: and I didn't just want to sit there like this hello.
Speaker 4: Before the interview. I wanted to hate it's the nice,
Speaker 4: awkward part. So I'm like, I'll make a joke and
Speaker 4: a warm it up. So I'd been on Hamilton Island
Speaker 4: for like twelve hours and it's beautiful. It's so nice
Speaker 4: but as soon as it hit six o'clock, it's almost
Speaker 4: like no one is there, and then all these bats
Speaker 4: appear as the sun setting, people leave the island. There's
Speaker 4: nowhere to eat dinner after six o'clock, but one restaurant, like,
Speaker 4: you've got no choice. That is Hamilton Island in a nutshell.
Speaker 4: So I'm sitting opposite to a lipa and I go, oh,
Speaker 4: do how beautiful Hamilton Island. So it's so nice, it's
Speaker 4: absolutely stood and I love it and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: but don't you get like weird North Korean vibes from
Speaker 4: the place. And then she's like and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: after six o'clock, no one's anywhere.
Speaker 3: And then you can't eat here, you can't eat there.
Speaker 4: You gotta ride around on golf buggies. It's like it's
Speaker 4: run by Kim jongle and the buildings are big. And
Speaker 4: she looks at the people and she's like, right, let's
Speaker 4: not maybe, let's stop this.
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, oh yeah, you're right, you're
Speaker 3: right here a way to start. But you're on a boat.
Speaker 4: You're on a yacht and looked beautiful and she's like right,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, fuck, I'm ruined it.
Speaker 2: Did she think you were recording?
Speaker 3: Yes, and this was my bit.
Speaker 2: You opened with a North Korea dough yeah, and it
Speaker 2: did not didn't help that you just told a story
Speaker 2: that your dressed with Kim Jo not ideal. She didn't
Speaker 2: wiped out that boat, and you're like, I do a
Speaker 2: great impression.
Speaker 4: No, so it almost tanked, but I won her over
Speaker 4: by making a yell yeah.
Speaker 2: No, she loved you by the end.
Speaker 4: You could tell yeah, yeah, we got along like a
Speaker 4: house on fire, and she gave me a kiss and
Speaker 4: did it and she's like joined to do an instant story
Speaker 4: and I'm like, yeah, so the fact that she.
Speaker 2: That is good. Actually they never offer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really nice and like if you watch
Speaker 4: the she's like all over me and cuddling. So she
Speaker 4: we were great friends by the end. But I think
Speaker 4: she got my stick, which is kind of like I'm
Speaker 4: a goofy one, right and she sort.
Speaker 2: Of that's clear to everyone. Let me disassure you we
Speaker 2: don't hide it.
Speaker 3: Well no, no, not.
Speaker 2: You said you have an issue with the interview though, right, No, no,
Speaker 2: the interview, no issue with that at all. But I
Speaker 2: just thought it was strange and this is not a
Speaker 2: dig at you. It's just a dig at lots of
Speaker 2: people that do the same thing that you were all
Speaker 2: over social media being like, oh, do a leaper's co
Speaker 2: hosting with me? I just think that the general public
Speaker 2: know the difference between an interview and someone co hosting. Like,
Speaker 2: she wasn't co hosting. You were talking to her about
Speaker 2: her new song for her own commercial game.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I hear co hosting, I think somebody's sitting on
Speaker 1: a panel with somebody and.
Speaker 2: Like, imagine she is interviewing Samantha Armitage for three hours.
Speaker 2: Like that's not what that's not what co hosting is,
Speaker 2: but that's what you do it. Did I know was
Speaker 2: co hosting with me? Oh, I had the perfect guest
Speaker 2: co host of the year. You spoke to her for
Speaker 2: seven minutes. It's not just you that does it. I
Speaker 2: see people in radio do it all the time. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning, Michelle Bridge's co host with Buzz and Gang
Speaker 2: Bang on the Rock, Like, no, she's not. She's going
Speaker 2: to talk about her ship book. She's not co hosting.
Speaker 2: It's the opposite. It's such a difference between being interviewed
Speaker 2: and co hosting.
Speaker 3: Very true. Matt Preston co hosting with Trevor and Tom.
Speaker 2: Is Julie Goodwin? Actually no, she is the oh Julie Goodwin.
Speaker 2: You remember her for Master Chef she won first year.
Speaker 2: She hosts a radio show and she they full name
Speaker 2: her because she's famous. But her co host clearly has
Speaker 2: this radio name that he's not willing to let go
Speaker 2: his rabbit. So the show is Rabbit and Julie Goodwin.
Speaker 3: Literally sounds like cook.
Speaker 6: It sounds so.
Speaker 2: Weird pairing a full name with an animal. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: Spider and Denise.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Greg and Casswery.
Speaker 2: Margaret and Tarantula in the morning Wake up with what hogged?
Speaker 2: Wendy Iigron Beryl.
Speaker 4: No, it is a radiotrope though. That's what we do
Speaker 4: because it makes it sound bigger than it is.
Speaker 3: And she was she was, So.
Speaker 2: You're setting people up for disappointing.
Speaker 3: Well, for that hour, it was Douer and I on
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 2: So are you saying that if I titled this podcast
Speaker 2: do a liper co hosts? Is it just me?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: That wouldn't be clickbait.
Speaker 4: No, because normally, when you have an interview, you give
Speaker 4: it three minutes on the radio and you're done.
Speaker 2: What interview that you listening to?
Speaker 3: My show?
Speaker 2: That might be the rule for ding Batton, Marie. Most
Speaker 2: interviews go for like fifteen minutes on radiod.
Speaker 4: You grab at Michael, have a driver, Dashington name, Sorry,
Speaker 4: we're going to This is just awful.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of exotic animals.
Speaker 4: Yeah too, Canon Terrence for the three pm pickup, Oh.
Speaker 2: God, Rabbit and Julie Goodman and I can't make it
Speaker 2: thin now and I listened to the.
Speaker 3: Other day, Margaret. I listened to that new Nelly and
Speaker 3: the Now Wall show. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, spur Way on side, Louise and Ladybug.
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful little show.
Speaker 1: Kelly Cain and Belinda that's funny.
Speaker 3: Holy fuck.
Speaker 2: Oh Jenna, Oh, Jenna Dingo and Delilah.
Speaker 4: I forgot what we were talking about, but co hosting. Yeah, look,
Speaker 4: she she didn't go U but she I had dedicated
Speaker 4: an hour to her and we played five of her songs.
Speaker 2: Sing and hang on, hang on, hang on? How did
Speaker 2: you spread that seven minute interview across an hour? I
Speaker 2: made it work, Jenna, what's seven sixty divided by seven?
Speaker 1: That's a good question.
Speaker 3: Let's say do it Jim.
Speaker 1: Eight point fifty seven.
Speaker 2: Imagine being a du A Leaper fan just being like,
Speaker 2: fuck man, stop giving it to me. In Sprinkle, You're
Speaker 2: like canceling sprinkling crumbs.
Speaker 4: There was one point where you would have just heard
Speaker 4: it then where I asked her about the cow bell.
Speaker 3: And you know, like that don't in the song. I'm like,
Speaker 3: where did the cow bell come from? Was it a
Speaker 3: literal cow bell? Was there a cow in studio?
Speaker 4: Like it? We just heard it, I know, just from
Speaker 4: my own memory. And she gave me the answer, and
Speaker 4: she said, yeah, it was actually and I cut it
Speaker 4: on there. Oh if you want to hear if it
Speaker 4: was real, stick around. I'll play the rest in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4: Literally cut the poor bitch off mid breath.
Speaker 3: The answer for that?
Speaker 1: How is that co hosting? Like I expect you were
Speaker 1: to be like coming up on Mitch till Midnight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, that's not co hosting.
Speaker 3: Well, at least I've got a radio shirt.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I thought that was gonna have more of an impact
Speaker 3: than I did.
Speaker 2: I'm not jealous. I'm happy for you. Thank you well
Speaker 2: done on your interview. Is it just me?
