- 1:17Speaker 3: Grace is like, why are you dialing? Who are you dialing?
- 1:19Speaker 4: The Internet?
- 1:20Speaker 1: Mate? You call the Internet?
- 1:24Speaker 2: And it was excruciating. Yeah, and sometimes you go through
- 1:28Speaker 2: the whole process and it wouldn't even connect to the Internet.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Here's the sound. If you've dialed up the Internet before,
- 1:33Speaker 1: you'll know the sound.
- 1:37Speaker 3: What is that number?
- 1:39Speaker 2: The Internet?
- 1:40Speaker 1: It doesn't give out as number to everyone and Internet
- 1:44Speaker 1: thinking if you're worthy of joining it idea.

- 1:57Speaker 5: And we're all the where you go, you get and then.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Someone will pick up the phone and they hear like
- 2:02Speaker 3: a noise like that. They're like, I ain't tears the
- 2:04Speaker 3: phone on the Internet. It's both at the same time, Yeah, because.

- 3:36Speaker 2: We're going to dedicate the entire show to that to
- 3:39Speaker 2: that era, and right now the fashion faux pas of
- 3:42Speaker 2: years gone by. I think we need to front foot
- 3:44Speaker 2: this too. As you look back in your cringe at
- 3:47Speaker 2: some of your your fashion options or decisions. But then
- 3:51Speaker 2: you're like, well, at the time it was, it was
- 3:53Speaker 2: in the moment.
- 3:54Speaker 3: You were in the moment, and usually you weren't the
- 3:57Speaker 3: only one like other people. There's a reason you were
- 3:59Speaker 3: doing that.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Yeah, doing it wearing my valure tracksit with juicy across
- 4:03Speaker 2: my but what about it?
- 4:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I love saying that to the kids.
- 4:07Speaker 6: Now.
- 4:07Speaker 1: I'm like, you know when they dressed like that, I'm like,
- 4:09Speaker 1: one day you look back and you regret that these.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Enjoy it now.
- 4:15Speaker 3: A photo you're going to save this yet.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Well yeah, great now you think they are now, but
- 4:20Speaker 1: you all look back.
- 4:21Speaker 2: We all do, right, Yeah, even when you look back
- 4:23Speaker 2: at some of the stuff you used to say the
- 4:26Speaker 2: slang like that's jiggy.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Oh god, I don't remember saying that.
- 4:31Speaker 2: You obviously weren't cool.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Okay, So we're going to do fashion regrets today because
- 4:35Speaker 1: there's so much we can cover off, and within ourselves,
- 4:37Speaker 1: there's so much we can cover off. This's just one
- 4:39Speaker 1: thing each, all right for now, Megan, you go.
- 4:42Speaker 3: First, Well, I'm going to have to go with my eyebrows.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I've found a picture of early two thousands and the
- 4:48Speaker 3: berey there, I'd plucked them within an inch of their life,
- 4:51Speaker 3: and you're right, they were bigger arched. So I did
- 4:53Speaker 3: look quite surprised.
- 4:58Speaker 2: They caught me by surprise. But I imagine again at the
- 5:01Speaker 2: time and the moment, the higher the brow, the more
- 5:03Speaker 2: sophisticated the brown.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're very thin. But also like when brows
- 5:09Speaker 3: started coming back in, I had to use like a
- 5:10Speaker 3: serum to encourage them to grow brow.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Back, because now stop staring at your eyebrows.
- 5:16Speaker 2: You've got great eyebrows, now, don't you.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Around nineteen times begger than they were. That's a great
- 5:24Speaker 1: great eyebrows. Now at the time, the slender.
- 5:27Speaker 2: And you look very neutral about things.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Okay, John, what are you going to pack?
- 5:31Speaker 2: Oh god, I was trying to thinking about this last night.
- 5:35Speaker 2: There was a period there where I was wearing a
- 5:37Speaker 2: bead necklace like some sort of.
- 5:41Speaker 1: But but some people can pull off a bead if
- 5:44Speaker 1: you're like a chill dudefing at the beach and stuff,
- 5:47Speaker 1: No you're not. You're a great age spot.
- 5:51Speaker 2: I think even a bead bracelet as well some earrings
- 5:54Speaker 2: just like a calmer.
- 5:56Speaker 7: Suit for.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Chill man. Yeah, I think and.
- 6:02Speaker 2: He was like even my mom was like what are
- 6:04Speaker 2: you doing? And your parents actually when you're like shut up, mom,
- 6:07Speaker 2: should what do you know? They're actually know the voice
- 6:10Speaker 2: of reason.
- 6:10Speaker 1: That's what my dad got me to take back an
- 6:12Speaker 1: earring that was way too big that he wanted me
- 6:14Speaker 1: to wear that sorry, that I wanted to wear and
- 6:16Speaker 1: he's like, no, it was the earring. It's just a
- 6:18Speaker 1: big It was a big hoop ear gold ear We're
- 6:21Speaker 1: not real gold from Pasco, but it was the hoop

- 8:19Speaker 1: didn't too much.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Very handy, you know, if you lose the key to
- 8:25Speaker 2: the front door.

- 9:01Speaker 2: It's quite.
- 9:03Speaker 1: All right, Taylor, help me help me out.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Taylor's your fashion faux past from years.
- 9:11Speaker 8: So, growing up in the early two thousands, I had
- 9:13Speaker 8: very dark hair, and where I was from in Crinola,
- 9:15Speaker 8: everyone had blonde hair. So I really want a blonde hair.
- 9:18Speaker 8: So I put a crapload of lemon in my hair
- 9:20Speaker 8: and that absolutely killed it. And then my mom told
- 9:23Speaker 8: me about this thing called sun in and I sprayed
- 9:26Speaker 8: it all over my hand. I got a beautiful orange.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Hew.
- 9:31Speaker 3: The idea was you sprayed it and and then you
- 9:32Speaker 3: went out in the sun. Yeah, yeah, slowly lighted.
- 9:36Speaker 8: It and it definitely did but a bit too brassy
- 9:39Speaker 8: for my liking.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I honestly I did bleached ginola in lemon juice too
- 9:44Speaker 2: when I was a teenager, and I really think that
- 9:46Speaker 2: is solely responsible for my currents. Someone, I've got to
- 9:50Speaker 2: look forward to two more years ago. So what were
- 9:54Speaker 2: your fashion faux past from years gone by? We'll go
- 9:55Speaker 2: to Toto on a teary good morning. Hello, here you go,
- 9:59Speaker 2: We're doing well, come back with us and cringe. What
- 10:02Speaker 2: was it for you?
- 10:04Speaker 9: Hey?
- 10:04Speaker 10: Look the very late nineteen seventies, I thought I was
- 10:08Speaker 10: so uber cool. I had a toweling boob tube or
- 10:14Speaker 10: the boot.
- 10:16Speaker 1: So that was the material, same material as a towel.
- 10:19Speaker 1: You say you was, and.
- 10:21Speaker 9: Looked and it was a dusky pink no list.
- 10:24Speaker 10: I thought it was so cool if I just.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Got out of the shower or.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Are you around for the whale tail, which was you
- 10:36Speaker 2: would have a low riding trouser and then your thong
- 10:39Speaker 2: poking out of the top.
- 10:40Speaker 4: Do it?
- 10:42Speaker 2: Do you remember that?
- 10:44Speaker 3: You might be mortified to learn that that's making a comeback.
- 10:47Speaker 2: I saw it the other day at the Sylvia Park
- 10:49Speaker 2: and I was like, I didn't know if she had
- 10:51Speaker 2: forgotten to put the bells on, very taggable, like you
- 10:54Speaker 2: really just want to go hang.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Like that's strength.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're talking about you here too. You had
- 11:06Speaker 2: a couple of strings dangling.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Trying to be ginger spice, and I had two. I
- 11:10Speaker 3: had brown hair, but two blonde streaks at the front.
- 11:13Speaker 3: I did myself.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I imagine when you're eating that they'd become
- 11:17Speaker 2: quite problem to get into your mouth and stuff. Today, Yeah, they're.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Like constantly growing out with regrowths.
- 11:25Speaker 4: That jonaan Ben podcast.
- 11:27Speaker 2: We're doing nineties v Naughties this week, trying to decide
- 11:29Speaker 2: which is the bit of error, and we're talking to
- 11:32Speaker 2: some wonderful guests from yester year. Uh, in particular this lady,
- 11:36Speaker 2: the nation's babysitter. I mean, if you had the option
- 11:39Speaker 2: to be rebursed and her is your biological mother. I
- 11:42Speaker 2: think you choose her every time when if you had
- 11:44Speaker 2: an option.
- 11:45Speaker 3: B sorry my mum.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Yeah, oh you still love your mum now. But if
- 11:48Speaker 2: it was an option to suck back into a womb,
- 11:51Speaker 2: come back out of a womb. I'll stop talking, Suji Cato,
- 11:56Speaker 2: Susi are you.
- 11:58Speaker 1: We're doing good. Always nice to talk to you.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Likewise, tripped it A lived with you was just a
- 12:05Speaker 2: week ago.
- 12:05Speaker 3: I'm sorry, awful.
- 12:09Speaker 7: It was lovely. He was honest behavior here at his
- 12:11Speaker 7: gorgeous wife with him, and he was just the.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Only time Susan has ever been Downbeaten's liking life this
- 12:19Speaker 1: board idiot.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Oh, Susie, we were doing a bit of reflecting this
- 12:22Speaker 2: this week. It was a bit of a competition, to
- 12:24Speaker 2: be honest, deciding which was the better decade, the nineties
- 12:27Speaker 2: or the noughties. Now you've spanned across both, what would
- 12:30Speaker 2: you say was the best decade?
- 12:32Speaker 7: Oh gosh, that is really really tricky because when I
- 12:34Speaker 7: think of it in terms of songs, it's a time
- 12:41Speaker 7: that was the nineties and.
- 12:43Speaker 1: That was your signature and me Susie's World was over
- 12:46Speaker 1: two thousand episodes. I was reading of you and me
- 12:49Speaker 1: you did That's right.
- 12:50Speaker 7: We recorded over five years, so I'd go to the
- 12:53Speaker 7: need him for two weeks of every month from Auckland,
- 12:56Speaker 7: I'd lie down, record, record, then go home and store.
- 13:01Speaker 7: And we did that for five years. So a very
- 13:04Speaker 7: special part of my life, and by the sounds of it,
- 13:07Speaker 7: a whole several generations of Kiwi's lives as well.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Yeah, you must still have people coming up to you
- 13:13Speaker 1: all the time and going I used to sit and
- 13:14Speaker 1: watch you.
- 13:16Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I love it. And you know, through COVID
- 13:18Speaker 7: and things like that, got reintroduced to a new generation
- 13:21Speaker 7: of Kiwi's which was absolutely adorable. But you know, I
- 13:24Speaker 7: still love that the Naughties had Susie's World. Susie's were
- 13:31Speaker 7: the thing, but it still touched the whole generation of
- 13:35Speaker 7: several generations. And now I've got young scientists coming up
- 13:38Speaker 7: to me and saying, look, I'm going to put that
- 13:39Speaker 7: down to you. You inspired me to embark on a
- 13:42Speaker 7: world of science.
- 13:44Speaker 1: You just got WHOA.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Mean a lot to you.
- 13:48Speaker 7: Oh yeah. Well, one of the main reasons we made
- 13:50Speaker 7: Susie's Ward was because I was robber science myself as
- 13:53Speaker 7: a kid, and but there were all questions that I
- 13:56Speaker 7: had wanted answered as a child. You know, why is
- 13:58Speaker 7: the sky blue? How can boodsit on power lines without
- 14:01Speaker 7: getting electrocuted? What happens when we eat baked bean?
- 14:04Speaker 2: How do the boods sit on the power lines? Out
- 14:06Speaker 2: of interest?
- 14:07Speaker 7: I'm really proud of you for not asking the other
- 14:09Speaker 7: questions because they are not ear grounded, right.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Yeah, grounded, So if they touched the ground at the
- 14:18Speaker 1: same time. Yeah, order when you look back at those
- 14:24Speaker 1: iconic shows through those years, I mean you used to
- 14:26Speaker 1: wear some really bright clothing, right, I mean your personality
- 14:28Speaker 1: is bright, but the clothing may have been brighter.
- 14:31Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely, it was cosmic cosmic.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Yes, if I.
- 14:36Speaker 7: Had a face on, I'd be able to send your
- 14:37Speaker 7: photograph of what I'm wearing today, though, TI dyed electric
- 14:41Speaker 7: blue and pink, and.
- 14:43Speaker 2: You do love a tight height.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Yeah, really bright neon sort of colors I remember.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely need to get your house busts or something.
- 14:52Speaker 2: I remember that cosmic brand color.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Tuna was another one. They're all just bright colors, and
- 14:58Speaker 1: that they kind of come back. I mean Barbie, you know,
- 15:00Speaker 1: the Barbie movie kind of brought all that back. So
- 15:03Speaker 1: this song, you know you were just singing before It's
- 15:05Speaker 1: our time you know where did that come from?
- 15:07Speaker 2: Like?
- 15:07Speaker 1: And did you know it was going to be such
- 15:09Speaker 1: a success when you started singing it?
- 15:11Speaker 7: Well, I'd love to be able to take full cunt
- 15:12Speaker 7: for that song and you and me and Studi's Lord
- 15:15Speaker 7: and all the rest of it. But I'm a cog
- 15:17Speaker 7: in an amazing will of talented people who created those programs,
- 15:23Speaker 7: and I very luckily one of about eighty people who
- 15:26Speaker 7: interviewed or auditioned got the role.
- 15:28Speaker 2: So did send me another's audition for that that gig?
- 15:32Speaker 4: Oh?
- 15:32Speaker 9: Yeah, yeh.
- 15:33Speaker 7: There were lots of people that auditioned because it had
- 15:36Speaker 7: already been going for a year before I joined it. Yeah,
- 15:40Speaker 7: but the wonderful Pauline Cooper had been presenting it for
- 15:43Speaker 7: nearly a year. They threw open the doors and they've
- 15:46Speaker 7: got a telephone call. I'd been with the Early Bird
- 15:47Speaker 7: Show with Russell ruther Yould Doodle Doo. Russell.
- 15:53Speaker 1: You say it was aimed at preschoolers. I feel like
- 15:55Speaker 1: I was a lot older watching it. That makes me go,
- 15:57Speaker 1: oh Jesus, was I just a bit slow on it.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was a the pre scholars, but
- 16:02Speaker 1: I watched a lot of it. We're going to put
- 16:05Speaker 1: you on the spot now, because you've been through those decades.
- 16:07Speaker 1: As John I said, you've had big hit shows in

- 19:14Speaker 4: The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Now we're talking about it because we are looking at
- 19:19Speaker 1: the nineties versus the naughties, which is the best decade.
- 19:22Speaker 1: We want to know old school technology, you thrashed, I.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Think sometimes think nostalgia is a lot sweeter in memory
- 19:28Speaker 2: than reality. Like if we went back to ninety ninety eight,
- 19:31Speaker 2: it would be an enormous inconvenience technology with what would
- 19:35Speaker 2: become accustomed. Yeah, yeah, you know, but you have fond
- 19:39Speaker 2: of memories of a simpler time, don't you. Did you
- 19:42Speaker 2: ever make a mix tape for anyone? And you do?
- 19:46Speaker 2: And that was basically like a marriage proposal.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Wasn't It would record songs off the radio, your seat,
- 19:52Speaker 3: get to your friends.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Annoyed with people like me talking over the intros and outros.
- 19:55Speaker 2: And songs, you know, spoke for Daisy. Yeah uh, But
- 20:02Speaker 2: we're going to talk about technology that you're thresh. We
- 20:04Speaker 2: did mention an educated gen Z producer Grace on dial
- 20:08Speaker 2: up Internet earlier today, which this was a triggering sound
- 20:12Speaker 2: effect for all of us trying his best to connect
- 20:18Speaker 2: to the internet.
- 20:19Speaker 4: The internet is.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Thinking about it. How are you worthy of me? Today?
- 20:22Speaker 2: The Internet would decide, it's.
- 20:24Speaker 3: So weird now because you're like, who are you dilating?
- 20:29Speaker 2: No one asked any question, and.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Why did it not answer?
- 20:32Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes I didn't want you to look on the internet.
- 20:35Speaker 1: It would be a good thing. It's very open now,
- 20:36Speaker 1: and be.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Honest, it's probably quite good if you went back to
- 20:39Speaker 2: that too. You kid, right, but what was technology you
- 20:41Speaker 2: guys thresh, I'm.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Going to go back to you know, Iconic New Zealander
- 20:45Speaker 1: John A. Lomu was just an amazing rugby player of
- 20:48Speaker 1: fun New Zealand. And he had a PlayStation game, Joonah
- 20:52Speaker 1: Lomu Rugby. And I found some comments online yesterday, so
- 20:55Speaker 1: I love playing this. It was amazing when you were
- 20:57Speaker 1: Jina you could just fend off everyone. So he was like,
- 21:00Speaker 1: he was just amazing.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Well, I guess if it's called John O Loomio, but
- 21:03Speaker 2: you can't have him being tackled and injured.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Commentary now little still said dune little don at the
- 21:09Speaker 1: bottom with the long one digitally a demented more there,
- 21:14Speaker 1: it's a penalty in front.
- 21:15Speaker 4: Can you get to him?
- 21:17Speaker 1: Wonder ball there, little one. That that's extra coming from
- 21:21Speaker 1: a game. And sometimes they wouldn't say the player's name
- 21:23Speaker 1: a couple of times like Josh Camfield. So every time
- 21:26Speaker 1: we get the ball, no matter what he was doing,
- 21:27Speaker 1: there just a godfield like it was exciting. Sometimes he
- 21:30Speaker 1: wasn't doing something exact sounds.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Like they just got one taking one take only for
- 21:33Speaker 2: their voiceover. Guy, I remember playing it, go this is
- 21:37Speaker 2: like real life.
- 21:38Speaker 1: I know now you're looking at your It definitely isn't
- 21:40Speaker 1: like real life. But it was an amazing game.
- 21:42Speaker 2: No, now you look making mock it. What are you?
- 21:44Speaker 3: I remember hiring a PlayStation one from the DVD or
- 21:49Speaker 3: the video store because we didn't have one, so we'd
- 21:51Speaker 3: go and hire.
- 21:52Speaker 2: It for the weekend.
- 21:53Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd get crashed Bandicoat or Spiral the Dragon and
- 21:57Speaker 3: you'd have it for the weekend and take it back.
- 22:00Speaker 1: They still stand at the crash Mandicut. We've got like
- 22:02Speaker 1: they redid the old games back. You play them now
- 22:05Speaker 1: on the new versions of PlayStation Still really good. It's
- 22:07Speaker 1: still good, Yeah, really fun.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Love that still the test of time for me. It
- 22:10Speaker 2: was you could hire you know, the arcade machines and
- 22:14Speaker 2: you go to your friend's house if it was your
- 22:16Speaker 2: friend's birthday and his parents would have hired the arcade machines.
- 22:20Speaker 1: This is wild to think.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Street Fight and they always squeeze it into the laundry
- 22:24Speaker 2: and have an extension card like dangling into the kitchen
- 22:27Speaker 2: to plug the thing, and you just spent all weekend
- 22:29Speaker 2: playing street Fighter. Boom whenever they do their move, they'd
- 22:38Speaker 2: like to say what they were doing.
- 22:40Speaker 1: That's pretty cool you could do that. I think Marcell
- 22:42Speaker 1: only had like one of those games in a Fish
- 22:44Speaker 1: and Chip shops.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Jez, that would have been a popular hot spot.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Yeah, so you couldn't really hire it for the weeknd,
- 22:48Speaker 1: but that's pretty The.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Hits that johnaan Ben podcast had, the great messages coming
- 22:52Speaker 2: through fourth seven on the text machine guys. Hearing the
- 22:55Speaker 2: dial up Internet sound effects reminded me of trying to
