Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wake up with a FANGI wake up and the club
- 0:04Speaker 1: on nine four seven anything.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Now, I am pretty sure a lot of us have
- 0:10Speaker 2: had this feeling because somebody around us was doing this thing,
- 0:15Speaker 2: but you didn't say anything because you didn't want to
- 0:17Speaker 2: be the party pooper, or you don't want to be
- 0:20Speaker 2: the wet blanket, or you don't want to be called judge. Well,
- 0:23Speaker 2: guess what, sometimes and sometimes we have to judge.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Otherwise we wouldn't have standards.
- 0:29Speaker 3: But you're gonna say something. It's gonna cause some conflict.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Someone's gonna say something back, but you've got to say something.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Otherwise you will be forever the one who is constantly
- 0:39Speaker 2: on the back foot because something is making you uncomfortable,
- 0:42Speaker 2: but you keep quiet because you do want to be
- 0:44Speaker 2: a party pooper.
- 0:45Speaker 1: This is why we are giving you proples. What's this
- 0:47Speaker 1: lady's name, Catherine? Catherine.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Catherine's finally had enough and she picked up her phone
- 0:52Speaker 2: and she said, I'm.
- 0:53Speaker 4: Going to call the radio finding it. It's Catherine here.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Hope you're well.
- 0:58Speaker 5: So, my family and I have been doing park runs
- 1:02Speaker 5: for years now, and for the last two and two
- 1:06Speaker 5: three weeks we've been exposed to this refresh that come
- 1:10Speaker 5: with their bluetooth speaker and play their house music very
- 1:15Speaker 5: very loud, from the beginning to the end. Hello, we
- 1:20Speaker 5: are there to hear the birds sing. We are there
- 1:23Speaker 5: to hear nature. We are there to hear natural things.
- 1:28Speaker 5: We're not there to hear your bad taste in music.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Please, it's the hello for me.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, it's Catherine here.
- 1:39Speaker 6: Oh what's looking at me?
- 1:42Speaker 7: So?
- 1:42Speaker 8: First things first, I've never done a park round. When
- 1:44Speaker 8: you do a park round, do they promise you that
- 1:46Speaker 8: you hear there to hear nature? Is that the brief? Well,
- 1:48Speaker 8: you just they't run a short distance in a park
- 1:51Speaker 8: in a park, Well yeah, But does it say to
- 1:53Speaker 8: you that ultimately the promise is that you just here
- 1:56Speaker 8: to hear the birds.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know for that's what she says.
- 2:00Speaker 1: As did not put his.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Stamp of authority on a park run for y'all to
- 2:04Speaker 2: come and think that it's a party.
- 2:05Speaker 8: Yet, Well, he didn't have a bluetooth speaker. If he had,
- 2:08Speaker 8: he also would have got it crunk.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Choose de Ice is really too pale.
- 2:13Speaker 9: If he had run, he would have had to have
- 2:14Speaker 9: a CD player and that would have scratched he was.
- 2:18Speaker 2: No.
- 2:18Speaker 1: But Catherine's got a point.
- 2:20Speaker 6: What is her point?
- 2:21Speaker 1: Her point is, we don't all like your music.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Okay, so you played in the car on the way there,
- 2:28Speaker 2: played in the car on the way out. But there's
- 2:30Speaker 2: no need for all of us to be listening to
- 2:32Speaker 2: your bluetooth speaker. Because here's the thing. When one person
- 2:35Speaker 2: is doing it, then it's like, okay, we can. Let's
- 2:38Speaker 2: imagine if a thousand people who do the Bryerson Park
- 2:41Speaker 2: run all thousand of us now we have our own
- 2:43Speaker 2: blutoth speaker. You're playing Dolly Parton, You're playing imagine dragons,
- 2:47Speaker 2: You're playing limp biscuits.
- 2:48Speaker 1: I'm playing a mongining game.
- 2:50Speaker 8: I don't see the problem. It's motivation to run faster.
- 2:52Speaker 8: I'll run the sound what travels faster sound? Or the
- 2:55Speaker 8: huge you know, guys, a cat.
- 3:00Speaker 7: That's what it sound like.
- 3:04Speaker 6: But you see, that's the issue, right.
- 3:05Speaker 8: I think the issue is more about the difference in
- 3:09Speaker 8: taste in music, because when it's music you like, it's
- 3:12Speaker 8: like when your neighbors are playing the music really loud.
- 3:14Speaker 6: If you like what they're playing, it doesn't bug you.
- 3:16Speaker 6: If you don't like.
- 3:17Speaker 1: It, absolutely not.
- 3:20Speaker 2: It's not going to the beach and somebody's playing, uh,
- 3:24Speaker 2: speak at the beach.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Now.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Nobody promised me silence at the beach. But I just
- 3:28Speaker 2: want to assume that we're all here to hear the waves,
- 3:31Speaker 2: to hear like each other speak.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Why when wait?
- 3:35Speaker 6: Because I actually get moving while I wait for the
- 3:37Speaker 6: waves to come in.
- 3:38Speaker 2: No, Catherine, don't let them tell you different, my darling.
- 3:41Speaker 1: You have a point.
- 3:42Speaker 8: They have many park rounds and Johannesburg go a rund
- 3:44Speaker 8: a different one.
- 3:45Speaker 3: I even told the game range on the weekend to
- 3:47Speaker 3: keep quiet so we can watch the watch the animals.
- 3:49Speaker 3: I don't need to learn about them while we're watching.
- 3:51Speaker 6: I just want to hear them.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Frank you, I said, But because he was just being
- 3:57Speaker 2: a motor math. Right now, we don't have time to
- 3:59Speaker 2: enjoy nature.
- 4:01Speaker 9: I don't even think it's about park run. I think
- 4:03Speaker 9: it's runs in general, like it's and even if you
- 4:05Speaker 9: like the music, sometimes it's the pace. So the music
- 4:09Speaker 9: is playing at a different pace to you running, and
- 4:11Speaker 9: the counting goes out of beat because you're it's it's
- 4:14Speaker 9: it's not a good idea for a reason. And I
- 4:16Speaker 9: must be honest, I get quite excited when somebody with
- 4:19Speaker 9: a bluetooth speaker is faster than me. I just keep
- 4:21Speaker 9: going as opposed to being stuck next to somebody.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Also, this is a regular occurent, so it's not just
- 4:26Speaker 1: It's not just a one.
- 4:27Speaker 9: I've experienced it a few times. When you go running,
- 4:29Speaker 9: somebody thinks that their taste in music is absolutely amazing.
- 4:31Speaker 1: And I get it.
- 4:32Speaker 9: It's great for them and how they get through a run,
- 4:35Speaker 9: and we're all entitled to it. But if the majority
- 4:37Speaker 9: of people are not bringing bluetooth speakers to something, then that's.
- 4:41Speaker 6: The noise are allowed to run with.
- 4:44Speaker 9: So it's against the Athletic South Africa law. You can't
- 4:48Speaker 9: you can't run with the speakers. But not also Timginia
- 4:52Speaker 9: and you will agree with this. Don't try to be
- 4:54Speaker 9: hard now because you have to stick to your point.
- 4:57Speaker 9: People who play speakers loud, they all want to.
- 4:59Speaker 8: Be like, let's go listen. I don't judge it. I
- 5:04Speaker 8: like the ghetto part of for his farmer's market. Remember,
- 5:06Speaker 8: even there there had to be a split between the
- 5:08Speaker 8: families and those of us who like to talk while
- 5:11Speaker 8: eating a burger to.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Speaker or not to speaker at a park run. It's
- 5:16Speaker 1: not high rocks will you guys are listen to the
- 5:18Speaker 1: gift music? What's you do? Your purpies go do high?
- 5:21Speaker 6: What does she call them? The refrash?
- 5:24Speaker 5: No?
- 5:24Speaker 2: But here's the thing. And I was listening to her
- 5:26Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, this is gonna sound like she's
- 5:28Speaker 2: being Rachel. She's not because house music is listened to
- 5:30Speaker 2: by everyone except Catherine exactly because Catherin doesn't want to
- 5:35Speaker 2: go to Ipitha all right. She just wants to be
- 5:37Speaker 2: at the bird the Branston Park run with peace and
- 5:39Speaker 2: quiet so she can hear the hearty.
- 5:40Speaker 6: Do do a line before the rad It makes.
- 5:42Speaker 1: It more tolerable. Lime dance line dance on.
- 5:47Speaker 2: One one eighty eight thirty eight nine four seven.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Are you on Katherine's side or you're on the on.
- 5:53Speaker 3: The refresh side if you are one of the refresh
- 5:56Speaker 3: fund us, yes, Why are you taking a blue tube?
- 5:59Speaker 10: Yes?
- 5:59Speaker 1: Please?
- 6:00Speaker 2: Actually oh yes? With the lines the people who get
- 6:02Speaker 2: around bluetooth thing music, I just you must come and
- 6:05Speaker 2: protect yourselves, yo, Why do you want to do that?
- 6:07Speaker 8: It's funny games until someone is playing us on the
- 6:09Speaker 8: bluetooth speaker.
- 6:11Speaker 6: Well on day morning truck.
- 6:12Speaker 1: And then in the.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Zero eight four double zero double zero nine four seven.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Are you on Catherine's side or are you in the
- 6:23Speaker 1: bluetooth speakers?
- 6:25Speaker 2: Oh?
- 6:26Speaker 3: And I'm sure there's a lot of people who love
- 6:28Speaker 3: house music who will go for these pop grounds who
- 6:30Speaker 3: also don't want to hear it.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Dude, Then then you guys are blessed with.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Somebody who doesn't have the premium subscription for Spotify. And
- 6:38Speaker 2: then don't talk an you're like that.
- 6:42Speaker 9: Sometimes your skin is dry. Do you just want to
- 6:45Speaker 9: put some cream money? Just use this creen while on your.
- 6:50Speaker 6: Run back to David?
- 6:52Speaker 2: Do you say swing and swing and.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Don't let your family behave please? No, guys, keep your
- 7:04Speaker 1: speaking to yourself on the law.
- 7:06Speaker 2: I say on the way in, pump yourself up on
- 7:08Speaker 2: the yourself up. But when there's a thousand of us gathered, yeah,
- 7:13Speaker 2: shut the speaker down.
- 7:14Speaker 1: What do you think the blue shoes device is really true? Pale?
- 7:18Speaker 4: Finally, it's Catherine here.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Hope you're well.
- 7:21Speaker 5: So my family and I have been doing park runs
- 7:25Speaker 5: for years now, and for the last two and two
- 7:29Speaker 5: three weeks we've been exposed to this refresh that come
- 7:33Speaker 5: with their bluetooth speaker and play blue house music very
- 7:38Speaker 5: very loud. From the beginning, to the end. Hello, we
- 7:43Speaker 5: are there to hear the birds sing. We are there
- 7:46Speaker 5: to hear nature. We are there to hear natural things.
- 7:51Speaker 5: We are not there to hear your bad taste in music.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Please no, no, no.
- 7:57Speaker 11: Park runs outside the open space and everyone has to
- 8:02Speaker 11: freedom to listen to whatever they choose to.
- 8:06Speaker 6: For the first time in a long time, I disagree
- 8:09Speaker 6: with Tim Biggie. We went on a hike and the
- 8:13Speaker 6: gen zs also came with their bluetooth stuff. It's just disturbing.
- 8:17Speaker 6: It's not fair, it's not cool.
- 8:19Speaker 9: You don't lock it, buy it off of set of
- 8:21Speaker 9: noise cads in the headphones, and then you can't hear
- 8:23Speaker 9: anything around you.
- 8:24Speaker 6: So I also do the park rounds.
- 8:26Speaker 8: The only people that are playing music with the speakers
- 8:28Speaker 8: are the ones that come ten minutes later that are
- 8:30Speaker 8: at the back of new that motivation.
- 8:32Speaker 1: No one wants to listen to your music. Put on headphones, guys.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I live in a pool office.
- 8:37Speaker 2: And people will will playing music like why where at work?
- 8:41Speaker 1: We're not at a party.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Bitue's name is Thailer as well. Playing is loud music
- 8:46Speaker 2: at the park round because it's a park round religious retreat.
- 8:49Speaker 2: But even at the religious retreat. At this point, you
- 8:51Speaker 2: guys are playing your speakers everywhere. The hiking one was
- 8:54Speaker 2: a good example as well.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Yeah, that's wild for me. Now we are that is
- 8:58Speaker 3: the purpose of hiking nature?
- 9:00Speaker 6: Are you just trying to get your steps in?
- 9:02Speaker 1: No, you want to hike. You want to go and
- 9:04Speaker 1: be at peace, clear your mind.
- 9:06Speaker 8: But it's guys, I'm sorry. Everyone has the right to
- 9:09Speaker 8: do whatever. That's it's a public space by nature.
- 9:12Speaker 1: But if we are all.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Sitting at a restaurant a public space and we are
- 9:16Speaker 2: all watching TikTok's on our phones, I throw the line.
- 9:22Speaker 8: You know, let me tell you what I hate about
- 9:24Speaker 8: the tiktoks, because then I can't hear what the other
- 9:26Speaker 8: table is discussing, because there's always an awkward date that
- 9:28Speaker 8: I'm trying to follow where the girl is not interested.
- 9:30Speaker 8: But you know, the economy is down and you're listening
- 9:33Speaker 8: to Cindy talk about you.
- 9:35Speaker 9: Can I park run while watching TikTok and playing it
- 9:38Speaker 9: loud for all of you?
- 9:39Speaker 6: But the Bluto speakers drowning you out?
- 9:41Speaker 9: No, if there's no Bluetick speaker, can I listen?
- 9:43Speaker 6: Crazy white boy is drowning you out?
- 9:46Speaker 9: Crazy, he doesn't want to say, but you're not allowed
- 9:48Speaker 9: to listen to your TikTok on the park rend.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Yeah, a thousand people, all of us on the park
- 9:52Speaker 2: round because some of us walk, some of us fan,
- 9:55Speaker 2: all of us are watching our TikTok's loud.
- 9:56Speaker 6: That's fine, it's motivation to get further from you.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Where do you draw the line? There has to be
- 10:00Speaker 1: a lie I line of.
- 10:01Speaker 6: Going to a park round. Evident.
- 10:04Speaker 1: This is another thing we're arguing.
- 10:05Speaker 9: The person who Temberquinos park rounds from.
- 10:08Speaker 6: His car to the start.
- 10:10Speaker 2: We argue the person who only runs his mouth, Yes, exactly,
- 10:14Speaker 2: pretty crooks stuff, Good morning, pretty look first time caller,
- 10:21Speaker 2: pretty okay, pretty?
- 10:23Speaker 1: What are you saying.
- 10:27Speaker 12: To me in the morning? You cannot No one can
- 10:30Speaker 12: convince me otherwise. It's in the morning you want to run?
- 10:34Speaker 12: You just looking up? And then or my skandy or
- 10:37Speaker 12: like either no run, quiet, lead the peace of mind,
- 10:43Speaker 12: listen to their listen to the birds and then yeah
- 10:46Speaker 12: maybe after that, but I don't agree. No music in
- 10:49Speaker 12: the backgrounds.
- 10:50Speaker 2: And I know exactly what my standyng is.
- 10:56Speaker 7: Do you know?
- 10:56Speaker 1: You know what you talking about?
- 10:57Speaker 7: That one?
- 10:58Speaker 2: This thing everywhere now is also on TikTok everywhere.
- 11:02Speaker 6: God money, that's a banger.
- 11:05Speaker 7: Though.
- 11:05Speaker 2: It is a banger, but not at five in the
- 11:07Speaker 2: morning when I don't know what to be moving a
- 11:09Speaker 2: little not pretty prettys on Catherine's side.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Love it for you, Bunny, you and Centurion.
- 11:15Speaker 12: Ah yeah, yeah, guys, I'm sorry.
- 11:18Speaker 10: I am with on this one.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Guys.
- 11:20Speaker 10: That tambourine effect, that boom boom boom, it gives you pain.
- 11:25Speaker 10: It gives you that time to say, I'm going to
- 11:27Speaker 10: see the finished light. Given that motivation, I don't understand.
- 11:31Speaker 10: What are the bird chirping doing to you? Nothing? Guys,
- 11:34Speaker 10: if you want to any people sitt in your garden,
- 11:36Speaker 10: in your own house, oh boom by the bank.
- 11:39Speaker 11: Ah no no.
- 11:40Speaker 2: But then in the same vent, then I can say,
- 11:42Speaker 2: if you want goof, doof, and this motivation, then go
- 11:45Speaker 2: to the gym, go to your spinning class. That is
- 11:47Speaker 2: the point. You are already being given spaces where you
- 11:51Speaker 2: can listen to.
- 11:52Speaker 1: That and exercise apart.
- 11:54Speaker 12: Same freedom, Sie, the same freedom I paid for it,
- 11:58Speaker 12: or I just decided to join.
- 11:59Speaker 10: I took my time out so I should have the
- 12:01Speaker 10: time of my life. And if it means I'm playing
- 12:03Speaker 10: a little bit of black coffee, so that I can
- 12:05Speaker 10: motivate other people at all. Tambourine tap going on there, guys,
- 12:10Speaker 10: that's interesting together.
- 12:12Speaker 9: If I want to play Guns and Roses or Death
- 12:15Speaker 9: Flippers or a CD Lion or Metallica on your.
- 12:19Speaker 6: Rock, go for it.
- 12:21Speaker 8: I just don't like your music. I don't want you
- 12:23Speaker 8: to switch it off. I just don't like it exactly.
- 12:25Speaker 11: It's a preferent thing.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Yes, I prefer to be quiet.
- 12:29Speaker 3: And obviously it's going to be someone from Centurion that
- 12:31Speaker 3: was going to fight us about a Bluetooth secret funny.
- 12:34Speaker 7: Yeah, what what.
- 12:37Speaker 8: You guys are sleeping on here? Do park runs make money?
- 12:42Speaker 1: They do? You have to?
- 12:43Speaker 8: No, No, you organize the people we need, the fun
- 12:47Speaker 8: people park run and the old people who need silence
- 12:50Speaker 8: park runs and please let's separate.
- 12:54Speaker 1: I can't wait for the fun one.
- 12:55Speaker 9: We're fifteen of you turn up with your own bluetooth place.
- 12:58Speaker 8: Because you can imagine by nine o'cs you've basically been
- 13:00Speaker 8: to the club nine am and you can go lie down.
- 13:02Speaker 6: You day is done.
- 13:03Speaker 1: But that's the thing.
- 13:04Speaker 2: You can actually go to a club and listen to
- 13:06Speaker 2: loud music and have all the fun in the world,
- 13:08Speaker 2: and then the next day go on a park round.
- 13:09Speaker 6: It flows us stick hear the class.
- 13:11Speaker 2: And also park runs. They threw a park sometimes they
- 13:13Speaker 2: threw a little bit of a neighborhood.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Now you guys, wake up.
- 13:17Speaker 2: No, no, Catherine, stand by, girl, stand by.
- 13:21Speaker 1: We're with you. We're with you.
- 13:22Speaker 3: I'm with you on this one as well.
- 13:23Speaker 1: But we need more.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Bunnies who are going into vide oh one one eight
- 13:27Speaker 2: thirty eight nine four seven. I'm here to hear from
- 13:30Speaker 2: somebody who says I have a speaker, and I have.
- 13:32Speaker 3: A speaker because yeah, because of what?
- 13:35Speaker 1: Why why come up to the forefront talk to us?
- 13:38Speaker 1: Tell us why you insistem make us listen to your music.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Tell us why you hiked up that copy to get
- 13:43Speaker 3: to the top, to start a party.
- 13:46Speaker 8: I'll tell you this, Nothing will motivate you to get
- 13:48Speaker 8: to your sorry up there than hearing music. You know,
- 13:52Speaker 8: you try to get away from a group of people,
- 13:54Speaker 8: like how I'm when I see high school kids at
- 13:55Speaker 8: them all, I get to moving because they terrify me.
- 13:59Speaker 2: But you shouldn't have to. You shouldn't have to have
- 14:02Speaker 2: to run away from people in the park.
- 14:04Speaker 6: Run you, that's what run. I'm helping you to move.
- 14:07Speaker 2: The people are calling she is a run and agrees
- 14:10Speaker 2: with him mcguilliy, bring the speakers, it's motivation.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I get her on the line. We need
- 14:15Speaker 1: to whack her over the head with the package.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Finally, it's Catherine here. Hope you're well.
- 14:22Speaker 5: So my family and I have been doing park runs
- 14:25Speaker 5: for years now, and for the last two and two
- 14:29Speaker 5: three weeks we've been exposed to this refresh that come
- 14:33Speaker 5: with their Bluetooth speaker and play their house music very,
- 14:38Speaker 5: very loud, from the beginning to the end. Hello, we
- 14:43Speaker 5: are there to hear the birds sing. We are there
- 14:46Speaker 5: to hear nature. We are there to hear natural things.
- 14:51Speaker 5: We are not there to hear your bad taste in music.
- 14:55Speaker 7: Please A good topic at the moment.
- 14:57Speaker 3: I think the purpose of it is to get in
- 15:00Speaker 3: touch with nature. Just forget about your phone, put it
- 15:03Speaker 3: in your backpack or whatever you have, and just enjoy
- 15:06Speaker 3: each other's company.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Leave the phones or leave the music.
- 15:09Speaker 6: Way it's supposed to be.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I think, La you say, if you want go to
- 15:14Speaker 1: the job. If you guys want to hear budstopping, go
- 15:17Speaker 1: for ight.
- 15:18Speaker 5: If you need music to motivate you to run, there's
- 15:21Speaker 5: something wrong with you in the first place.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Everybody that's having something to say about it's my right.
- 15:26Speaker 8: It's my right.
- 15:27Speaker 1: What about my right to silence?
- 15:28Speaker 8: Yes, if I thought next to you, you aren't complying
- 15:31Speaker 8: because that is natural in a.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Park, I'm on Catherine's side, like the bluetooth speakers are
- 15:39Speaker 2: ruining the experience for the risk of us.
- 15:42Speaker 6: Leave the speakers at home.
- 15:44Speaker 1: And also the girl said, let's go for a hike.
- 15:46Speaker 1: You guys are taking speakers there as well. Yeah, exactly,
- 15:49Speaker 1: Then you guys are take it. Then I'm here listening
- 15:51Speaker 1: to Lincoln Park and Taylor Swift on a hike. Why guys,
- 15:55Speaker 1: it's quiet. And also my crick is.
- 15:57Speaker 2: You've got every other time at your house, at a pride,
- 15:59Speaker 2: at a party, at your.
- 16:00Speaker 1: For any other time to play music.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Why must we always be playing something so that means
- 16:04Speaker 2: we can never hear silence anyway?
- 16:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I absolutely agree with you. I think
- 16:08Speaker 3: it is so disrupting to the experience if because that's
- 16:12Speaker 3: the problem. I want silence, you want the vibe. But
- 16:15Speaker 3: now we're in the same place, we're having fun, doing
- 16:18Speaker 3: the same thing. Doesn't have to be a party.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Matha, you're not writing you say you're a runner and
- 16:23Speaker 2: you agree with the bluetooths.
- 16:25Speaker 11: Oh, yes, I do a first time on radio.
- 16:29Speaker 6: Oh well, welcome, what's Upristmas?
- 16:31Speaker 11: Thank you, thank you, thank you?
- 16:34Speaker 2: So be nice, okay, nice, I'll hear you out, Martha,
- 16:38Speaker 2: what do you want?
- 16:39Speaker 11: But honestly, I'm not trying to hear the shipping for
- 16:42Speaker 11: fifty six kilometers. I run out of marathons, and we
- 16:46Speaker 11: use speakers because, like you said, we're not allowed to
- 16:49Speaker 11: use head shats. You know asay it doesn't allow us
- 16:53Speaker 11: to use headshats. If you go to teat Talk or
- 16:55Speaker 11: Google and Google Comrades, people have speakers at Comrades marathon.
- 17:00Speaker 11: We're not trying to sing for forty two kilometers.
- 17:02Speaker 7: Guys.
- 17:03Speaker 2: It's hard, okay, So and yeah I'm listening.
- 17:07Speaker 11: The last you know. We dance again by black Coffee
- 17:10Speaker 11: seven minutes, so that means I could get my last
- 17:12Speaker 11: two kilometers with tense again. So it starts with adeale
- 17:16Speaker 11: or gospel. Oh, by the it's not even a batter, gendre.
- 17:19Speaker 11: Everybody has their different speakers. Last week I was doing
- 17:22Speaker 11: the Discovery Vitality she first my time was paid because
- 17:24Speaker 11: my speaker broke, So I have another one.
- 17:27Speaker 6: Now take a lot.
- 17:28Speaker 4: I'm doing the.
- 17:28Speaker 11: Total Spot this Sunday with a new bluteal speaker.
- 17:31Speaker 3: Guys, how how far do you run?
- 17:37Speaker 10: Uh?
- 17:37Speaker 11: For Discovery Vitelite, I've been doing twenty ones have marathons,
- 17:41Speaker 11: but I go as farre as forty two. I'm trying
- 17:43Speaker 11: to qualify for marathon as well. God willingly and my
- 17:46Speaker 11: body willing, and bluetooth will.
- 17:50Speaker 3: How big is your battery? So now hang on, Martha.
- 17:53Speaker 3: So now at this run, there's a twenty one k run.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Now we are a thousand runners. How many of these
- 17:59Speaker 3: runners have got bluetooth speakers?
- 18:02Speaker 11: First of all, my current pace is not that good.
- 18:05Speaker 11: Eight kilometers, I mean eight minister the kilometer. So trust
- 18:09Speaker 11: me that you're not even going to listen to the bluetooth.
- 18:11Speaker 11: Because we're running, you are less alone. And whoever saying
- 18:14Speaker 11: that I want some quiet time ran faster. It was
- 18:16Speaker 11: lower than music.
- 18:19Speaker 3: My question is, out of a thousand people that are
- 18:21Speaker 3: doing a run, have seven hundred God speakers?
- 18:24Speaker 11: Oh more than seven hundred? Everybody has that? Do you
- 18:27Speaker 11: know even our vesta designed to even put those cute.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Speak those little ones that.
- 18:35Speaker 11: Yes, terrible, It's not terrible. You're not even gonna hear
- 18:41Speaker 11: anything because you are sweating and you can hear yourself breeze.
- 18:44Speaker 11: You kind of been here the music.
- 18:45Speaker 2: I want to say for the longer ones, the forty
- 18:47Speaker 2: two k's and the Comrades marathons, because they are actually
- 18:51Speaker 2: stations as well.
- 18:52Speaker 1: That's stopping as a stage. And then you find my Paris.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Then the next one you find tim.
- 18:56Speaker 3: But they find because we run up to the point
- 18:58Speaker 3: and then you move along.
- 18:59Speaker 1: And then you move along.
- 19:00Speaker 2: But I really alone for Park Round, which is five
- 19:03Speaker 2: kilometers and now a thousand of us are all playing
- 19:06Speaker 2: music through a neighborhood.
- 19:10Speaker 11: I've never used the speaker on the park round. I
- 19:12Speaker 11: was just saying speaking to the fact that, trust me,
- 19:15Speaker 11: it's more than it's not even one person in running.
- 19:18Speaker 11: If you're a runner, you know it's more than that.
- 19:21Speaker 11: In fact, when we start, we can't even hear the
- 19:22Speaker 11: gun because there's music at the start life and we're
- 19:26Speaker 11: focusing on the music. Oh and then there's also bus drivers, right,
- 19:30Speaker 11: the people that you know motivate you to meet your
- 19:32Speaker 11: goal if you want to finish under three hours. To us,
- 19:35Speaker 11: they even have speakers. We even have speakers.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Then we must speak to Athletics South Africa.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Well, Catherine doesn't like it when you guys bring your
- 19:49Speaker 2: there to the park round they're the outra Americans where
- 19:52Speaker 2: you guys are mad anyway here, that's that's your own badness.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Go for it, go for it, go for it. But
- 19:58Speaker 1: in the park rounds where it's.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Just like because park runs, it's like it's just like
- 20:02Speaker 2: a like a nice.
- 20:03Speaker 6: Little peaceful and it's through the neighborhood.
- 20:06Speaker 2: You guys are going through forests and it's all nature.
- 20:09Speaker 2: I really think, let's respect each other day. And it
- 20:12Speaker 2: just goes back to my original point. We all don't
- 20:16Speaker 2: have the same taste. And even if you are playing music,
- 20:18Speaker 2: I like, why.
- 20:21Speaker 3: Check this Danzel in Cable Park. He's a volunteer at
- 20:25Speaker 3: the park run. So you run the park run?
- 20:28Speaker 7: Yes, morning, Danzel, good morning, good morning, and in the club.
- 20:34Speaker 2: Thank you for calling Danzel. So you are one of
- 20:36Speaker 2: the officials at the park one?
- 20:38Speaker 1: Which one? Which one do you run?
- 20:41Speaker 7: So I do a few of them. There's did Play,
- 20:44Speaker 7: there's park, there's Innerdale, there's an asia. Okay, And so
- 20:50Speaker 7: just to flip flip it a little bit, ourselves as
- 20:54Speaker 7: volunteers actually play the music and it is we all
- 20:56Speaker 7: received by the park runners and the park walkers. We
- 21:00Speaker 7: played different genres on different ends of the park run,
- 21:04Speaker 7: and I mean the comments and the feedback has always
- 21:07Speaker 7: just been well received. So I do get Catherine's point,
- 21:12Speaker 7: but again it boils down to the community and where
- 21:17Speaker 7: we're from. I mean it is well received. I've I've
- 21:20Speaker 7: had we've had compliments over the last four years and
- 21:25Speaker 7: we've just seen more music being introduced at different park runs.
- 21:28Speaker 3: But now that's why I'm asking dental. So is it
- 21:30Speaker 3: at the start and the finish?
- 21:33Speaker 7: No? No, no. So we'll have four different stations with
- 21:38Speaker 7: the Bluetooth Bluetooth speakers and we'll play different genres at
- 21:42Speaker 7: every point. And the people who come back, I mean
- 21:44Speaker 7: you got you get visitors on a weekly basis from
- 21:47Speaker 7: different areas. So we're based in the south. You will
- 21:49Speaker 7: get people coming all the way from Peyton and at
- 21:53Speaker 7: the end of the parkland they will be like, we
- 21:55Speaker 7: really enjoyed this. Your park run volunteer are so friendly.
- 21:58Speaker 7: The music you guys were playing, what's phenomenal.
- 22:00Speaker 2: So there is there is an officialness, if that's a word,
- 22:06Speaker 2: where you guys, as the people who organize the park
- 22:08Speaker 2: round you are certain activation points have got music. It's
- 22:12Speaker 2: not just all five hundred of your park rounders playing
- 22:15Speaker 2: Bluetooth speakers.
- 22:17Speaker 7: Will no, no, no, So we bring the vibe to
- 22:20Speaker 7: the people.
- 22:22Speaker 2: So the organization is playing music and it is curated
- 22:25Speaker 2: by you guys. Back, can I ask you, then, Danzel,
- 22:28Speaker 2: how many people come to do the park round on
- 22:30Speaker 2: average a weekend.
- 22:32Speaker 7: So on average week average between let's say eighteen other
- 22:35Speaker 7: people every week.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Okay, imagine all hundred people were playing their own Bluetooth
- 22:41Speaker 2: speaker and you, guys, your four points as the volunteers
- 22:46Speaker 2: where you're playing the music to keep the mood going.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Imagine if we were all playing music. Do you think
- 22:50Speaker 2: that would be pleasant?
- 22:52Speaker 7: It wouldn't be. But that is why we bring the vibe.
- 22:54Speaker 7: So we bring a different tone. So we bring the
- 22:56Speaker 7: vibe to the people are exactly, and then they leave
- 23:00Speaker 7: their blue to speakers at all. They know when you go.
- 23:03Speaker 2: There, then I'm willing to meet you halfway that there.
- 23:06Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, fine, fine, I'm on your side now.
- 23:10Speaker 2: No longer Catherines for this one where it is you guys,
- 23:14Speaker 2: the organizers who are just playing.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Music because you you know, you understand who everyone who here.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Is and like you say, you change the music every week,
- 23:23Speaker 2: as opposed to it's been the wild wilde waste of
- 23:25Speaker 2: a park round. Everyone's carrying a Bluetooth speaker, everyone's playing
- 23:29Speaker 2: because now almost discussing things like volume.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but this is part of it because Denzel
- 23:35Speaker 3: say you like you say, you guys are known for
- 23:37Speaker 3: doing this. Not every park round is like that, right,
- 23:40Speaker 3: So maybe Catherine here is used to a quiet park
- 23:44Speaker 3: round and now she's being introduced to a different one.
- 23:48Speaker 7: I mean, she she made she said that she's been
- 23:49Speaker 7: doing it for years, and of late it's obviously been disrupted.
- 23:53Speaker 7: So I mean, it just depends on where you've been,
- 23:56Speaker 7: and we've gone so from the introduction, we've been that
- 23:58Speaker 7: way all the time, and I think that is why
- 24:01Speaker 7: it was so we have to say received in our.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Area, Yeah, because we go there because we know that's
- 24:06Speaker 2: like that with Catherine, no one likes change. So now
- 24:09Speaker 2: it's been quiet and it's been like that, and that's
- 24:11Speaker 2: what she's a customersult in.
- 24:12Speaker 1: The next thing music. Okay, Danzel, thank you for this,
- 24:17Speaker 1: so some sort of order was restored here. Thank you
- 24:19Speaker 1: for walking us through it.
- 24:20Speaker 7: Awesome. Thank guys, have a good one.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Go back to making your morning and l and the
