- 3:22Speaker 1: out there, mate, it. It's a war zone out there.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Literally in some parts of the world, it is a
- 3:26Speaker 1: war zone.
- 3:27Speaker 2: And so you wanted to check out a competition where
- 3:30Speaker 2: we try and find a better TV show than Friends?
- 3:32Speaker 2: Can you name a better TV show than Friends? Because
- 3:35Speaker 2: it feels like that's the one that's on top of
- 3:37Speaker 2: TV mountain.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Yeah, we all know it. We know that, the theme song,
- 3:42Speaker 1: you know the characters. We've watched that fifty five million
- 3:45Speaker 1: times thanks to TV two playing nothing but Friends.
- 3:48Speaker 2: They just put they just pressed it on Luke and
- 3:50Speaker 2: I did that for twenty years. Can anyone tell me
- 3:52Speaker 2: why Friends? If full stop are full stop? I what
- 3:58Speaker 2: was it with the full stops in betwe in the letters?
- 4:01Speaker 2: I just saw the logo this morning.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just it's just the logo.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Just don't beat me off with.
- 4:09Speaker 3: I don't know if the dots had any like significance.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Did they mean anything. I've looked into that. I've looked
- 4:15Speaker 1: at that. It looks like there's a forum on that
- 4:17Speaker 1: at the moment, so I see, Yeah, maybe I could
- 4:19Speaker 1: have done my own research there, not lifted to Ben
- 4:22Speaker 1: to do the heavy lifting.
- 4:23Speaker 2: But yeah, can you name a better TV show than Friends?
- 4:25Speaker 3: Megan, I quite like Breaking Bad.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Oh yeah, with what's his face?
- 4:32Speaker 1: What's his face? Walter White?
- 4:35Speaker 3: Who's the actor? Oh whatslcome in the middle, Cranston. There
- 4:41Speaker 3: is a great TV show that's better than Friends, I
- 4:47Speaker 3: think so. I've watched all of it twice, whereas I don't.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Haven't watched all the Friends twice.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Okay, what are we affecting in?
- 4:54Speaker 2: Is it personal opinion or affecting in the success of
- 4:56Speaker 2: the show.
- 4:57Speaker 1: You gotta be your personal Okay, this show is way
- 5:01Speaker 1: better than Friends. And I'm sure there are shows for
- 5:03Speaker 1: everyone that they find it better than Friends. Just a
- 5:05Speaker 1: quick bit of research on that they reckon. It was
- 5:07Speaker 1: just a stylistic choice. The folk stops in between Friends.
- 5:10Speaker 1: They didn't. Actually, it's not an acron or anything.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Meghan was right for instance, and another article I was
- 5:17Speaker 2: reading on Friends too, it was meant to be and
- 5:20Speaker 2: this is a show that could have been better than
- 5:21Speaker 2: Friends Seinfeld. It was meant to be a softer, more
- 5:25Speaker 2: broad appeal Seinfeld set in New York based around Friends.
- 5:30Speaker 3: I guess that kind of is yeah, a lot of ways.
- 5:32Speaker 2: And some would say Seinfeld was a better show. I'm
- 5:35Speaker 2: going to lock and personally and you can't argue with
- 5:37Speaker 2: the scess success of Friends, you're never going to beat it.
- 5:40Speaker 2: But the Office, all right, UK Office, And I decided
- 5:46Speaker 2: to pull this audio off my VHS for authenticity purposes,
- 5:52Speaker 2: So UK or US, I would say, the UK one,
- 5:54Speaker 2: though I have watched the US and it's hilarious as well,
- 5:57Speaker 2: took on a life of its own.
- 6:00Speaker 1: The Cosby Show, well, yeah, there was another huge, hug
- 6:03Speaker 1: huge show. But yeah, maybe thankfully probably more eighties than
- 6:07Speaker 1: the nineties, so that it might have actually seam tune.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Let's kind of move on for that. This one, how
- 6:13Speaker 1: about this one.
- 6:13Speaker 2: This.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Story, all about it. I just loved Fresh Prince. I
- 6:21Speaker 1: thought it was a great show, you know, and I
- 6:23Speaker 1: happily watched that over Friends anyday.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Fresh Prince was a great show, had some good gags,
- 6:28Speaker 2: and it didn't it.
- 6:29Speaker 1: We got to speak to Will Smith once, remember before
- 6:31Speaker 1: he slapped Chris Rock at the face, didn't we? And
- 6:33Speaker 1: we you managed to seamlessly. We even a Fresh Prince question.
- 6:38Speaker 2: We heard you grew up in Wist, Philadelphia, born and
- 6:42Speaker 2: on the playground.
- 6:47Speaker 1: In the movie, there was a couple of guys and
- 6:48Speaker 1: they were up to go after that whack to the
- 6:52Speaker 1: face idiot.
- 6:56Speaker 4: He played long with the hits that johnaan Ben podcast
- 6:59Speaker 4: trying to.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Side which is the best decade, the nineties or the noughties.
- 7:02Speaker 1: To celebrate, we're going to be playing songs from only
- 7:05Speaker 1: that decade on Friday. And right now we're talking about
- 7:07Speaker 1: TV shows. One of the most famous, one of the
- 7:10Speaker 1: most iconic, seems to be friends these days. So we're
- 7:13Speaker 1: like names of TV show them friends.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Now here's a theory because someone's called and to multiple
- 7:20Speaker 2: people have called him about Bloody Mesh.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Oh yeah, do you remember Mesh?
- 7:24Speaker 3: I remember Mash five o'clock in the afternoon.
- 7:28Speaker 1: It was always on and you'd have many choices and
- 7:30Speaker 1: channels back then, didn't you.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'd have to sit through Mesh to what
- 7:34Speaker 2: were just through Mesh for to get to the news.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I feel like it came on after probably the sort
- 7:40Speaker 1: of children's entertainments.
- 7:42Speaker 3: I wanted to watch TV too. My dad was always like, oh,
- 7:45Speaker 3: watch Mash. I just remember that guy going I know nothing.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Yeah, that's hero.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Oh I don't even know the.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Same. That was another war buddy.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the same. They had hot lips, Tula hand
- 8:00Speaker 2: A Mesh. Yeah, she had hot lips. That's what they
- 8:03Speaker 2: called it. Yeah, wow, Yeah, that was her nickname. And
- 8:05Speaker 2: then they had a corporal Klinger.
- 8:07Speaker 1: That was that was was it? I don't know. We
- 8:11Speaker 1: were children watching this.
- 8:13Speaker 2: It was finished in nineteen eighty three and they were
- 8:15Speaker 2: still playing in the ninety ninety. So here's my theory.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Friends is in that slip stream at the moment of
- 8:20Speaker 2: that nostalgia for many people. But can you name a
- 8:23Speaker 2: better show than Friends? We're going to kick it off
- 8:25Speaker 2: with you, Wade.
- 8:26Speaker 1: How are you good to have you on?
- 8:29Speaker 4: Way?
- 8:29Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing well. What was it? Oh?
- 8:32Speaker 5: I wouldn't say a TV show, but more like a series.
- 8:35Speaker 5: I'd find shameless say it was a really good series.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Though shameless better than Friends.
- 8:42Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:42Speaker 5: It's just a bunch of low la people, you know,
- 8:45Speaker 5: trying to make a bigger laugh. And it's got a
- 8:48Speaker 5: lot of good characters in there.
- 8:49Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of talk around shame. Let's never
- 8:51Speaker 3: actually sat down to watch himself.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Go from the beer the guy as he's he's on.
- 8:55Speaker 3: There's Jeremy Allen White.
- 8:57Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, that's what they called him.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Frank.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Hey, well, thank you, Wade, appreciate that. Let's get Natasha
- 9:03Speaker 2: on better show than Friends, Natasha the.
- 9:06Speaker 6: Big Bang theory.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Once there's another massive show. I never really got into it,
- 9:13Speaker 1: not because it just never gave it a chance, but
- 9:15Speaker 1: it's massive.
- 9:16Speaker 6: I don't think I don't think it's better than Friends
- 9:18Speaker 6: because I love Friends, but I think it's kind of
- 9:20Speaker 6: on par with like the next sort.
- 9:21Speaker 7: Of generational sort of yeah right, very similar sort of
- 9:24Speaker 7: setup with characters.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Same as you've been.
- 9:26Speaker 2: I never watched an episode, but it was always one,
- 9:28Speaker 2: so I was like, good on you for being around consistency. Well,
- 9:32Speaker 2: thank you very much, Tatasha, Chris, a better show than Friends?
- 9:35Speaker 1: What have you got?
- 9:37Speaker 7: I'm not the Simpsons?
- 9:39Speaker 1: Yes, probably is. Actually I kind of start it in
- 9:42Speaker 1: the eighties, but it still continues to go like Friends.
- 9:45Speaker 3: It's still going.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, in new episodes all the time. They're
- 9:48Speaker 1: still making great episodes. It's a great show.
- 9:51Speaker 2: As long as politicians keep having an affair, the Simpsons
- 9:55Speaker 2: will keep going.
- 9:56Speaker 1: It don't very clever show. Hey, Christy, you're the Simpsons.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You probably know it. You said this Bo's Megan.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Sopranos is a great show.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I'm going to reflect more on that one.
- 10:09Speaker 3: It was was that nineties. I feel like I was
- 10:11Speaker 3: quite young to be watching like gangster stuff.
- 10:14Speaker 2: For us to come in with some stuff that I
- 10:16Speaker 2: thought you were going to be like, yeah, I was
- 10:17Speaker 2: a good show.
- 10:18Speaker 1: We thought you were going to roll on with why
- 10:19Speaker 1: it was a good show. You just reflected and thought
- 10:21Speaker 1: about it for a moment. It was nice.
- 10:23Speaker 3: But I was just thinking, yeah, I was very young
- 10:24Speaker 3: to be watching that kind of action happening on the TV.
- 10:26Speaker 3: But I remember it.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Maybe it's just named show to go. That was a
- 10:30Speaker 1: good show. And then nothing else that was a good show.
- 10:34Speaker 2: It was a good job and recreation that's a good show.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Talking all week just reflecting this Solgia and before I.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Died, the hits that John and Ben podcast.

- 10:51Speaker 1: so if you hit to our social media as well,
- 10:53Speaker 1: you can vote on that. And we're also giving ourselves

- 16:04Speaker 1: of these things are from the nineties and don't work,
- 16:06Speaker 1: but that'll that'll work. I think that was early two thousands. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:12Speaker 1: it's a got you Temagucci. I'm sure.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Let's cover our bases there, okay, I went next, will

- 16:21Speaker 4: The Hits that johonaan Ben podcast.
- 16:23Speaker 1: As we mentioned already, we're looking back at what was
- 16:26Speaker 1: the best decade the nineteen nineties or the noughties, and
- 16:29Speaker 1: on Friday we get to play NonStop songs from from
- 16:33Speaker 1: that decade. Megan for you, Yes, what do you reckon?
- 16:39Speaker 3: Like?
- 16:39Speaker 1: All over all music, it's very hard.
- 16:42Speaker 3: We're talking about that before, and I was like, I
- 16:44Speaker 3: feel like for me, the music's better. But then in
- 16:46Speaker 3: the nineties, TV shows from the nineties were really good,
- 16:49Speaker 3: So you.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Like the music from the two thousands. Music was probably
- 16:52Speaker 1: decre in some ways in the two thousands, but I
- 16:54Speaker 1: love the nineties because it's just it's kind of cheesier
- 16:57Speaker 1: and little basic. You're just like doors were unlocked. It
- 17:02Speaker 1: was a safer time. Technology was definitely a lot better
- 17:04Speaker 1: in the two thousands.
- 17:06Speaker 3: TV theme songs were better in the nineties. Yea, they
- 17:09Speaker 3: were iconic TV show theme songs.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Well right now, thanks to the team here at that

- 17:35Speaker 1: of the sexists on the rock to misogynists. Oh, I
- 17:39Speaker 1: couldn't quite figure it.
- 17:40Speaker 3: Out, don't give them a play.
- 17:42Speaker 2: How the game went from there? But better the sexes.
- 17:45Speaker 2: This was a game very popular on radio, wasn't it
- 17:47Speaker 2: back in the day. I don't know if it has
- 17:49Speaker 2: it still the test of time.
- 17:50Speaker 1: They kind of di versions of it now it's more
- 17:52Speaker 1: trading versus lady now.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So what they are generally stereotyped questions? So Megan,
- 18:00Speaker 2: I would ask you what would be cliched stereotype male questions? Maybe,
- 18:05Speaker 2: and then being I would ask you what would be
- 18:07Speaker 2: the same stereotype female questions.

- 22:33Speaker 1: It's a good average.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Susan lovely here, voice always so positive and uplifting. And
- 22:39Speaker 2: this week we're having a bit of a competition. The
- 22:42Speaker 2: nineties v the noughties, in which was the better period
- 22:45Speaker 2: in history. And you came over here from the UK
- 22:50Speaker 2: with a can do attitude.
- 22:52Speaker 1: And no money, right, you pretty much turned up here
- 22:54Speaker 1: with nothing right.
- 22:56Speaker 6: That's right, nothing's changed that.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Were you selling vacuum cleaner's daughter door? Was that one
- 23:03Speaker 1: of your original jobs?
- 23:05Speaker 6: I did, yes, Kirby vacuum cleaners daughter door, I did, yeah.
- 23:09Speaker 6: But then when I got here, I thought, oh, I
- 23:11Speaker 6: think I could make something of myself here, and the
- 23:13Speaker 6: people are nice, and it was all a bit you know,
- 23:16Speaker 6: behind the times in the nineties.
- 23:18Speaker 3: I thought, still, so, how did you make the jump
- 23:23Speaker 3: from selling vacuums daughter door to being on our screens?
- 23:28Speaker 6: Well, I started with the vacuum cleaners, and then I
- 23:30Speaker 6: bought in my own products to sell from overseas. So
- 23:33Speaker 6: it was products i'd sold before, vibrating massage pillows, you know, choppers, slices, dieters.
- 23:40Speaker 6: And I was a sales demonstrator. I have been since
- 23:43Speaker 6: I was eighteen. So I started working at trade shows
- 23:47Speaker 6: and exhibitions, you know, like Home Show and the Field Days,
- 23:51Speaker 6: demonstrating products and gadgets. And then I had a business
- 23:54Speaker 6: partner and he said, if I filmed you doing these
- 23:59Speaker 6: demonstrations that you're doing in the shopping malls and at
- 24:02Speaker 6: the shows, we can put put them on TV, you know, adverts,
- 24:06Speaker 6: and then we wouldn't have to shop all around these shows.
- 24:09Speaker 6: You could just sit on our asses, you know, and
- 24:12Speaker 6: make all the money.
- 24:14Speaker 1: So Natural Glow, how did you stumble across Natural Glow?
- 24:19Speaker 6: Yes? I made natural Glow because I came here burnt
- 24:22Speaker 6: to a fousle in the sun and thought not having
- 24:25Speaker 6: this bronzing powders didn't exist then. I know, it seems strange,
- 24:29Speaker 6: but they didn't, so nobody had one, so I got
- 24:32Speaker 6: it made.
- 24:33Speaker 2: And yeah, this was actually just your idea.
- 24:36Speaker 1: You're like, I'm going to make a powder.
- 24:38Speaker 6: Yes?
- 24:39Speaker 2: Did soon that.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Paul create bronzing powders?
- 24:42Speaker 1: Yes?
- 24:43Speaker 6: Oh my god.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Wow, it's amazing.
- 24:45Speaker 1: And New Zeeland in particular, like a two minute infomercials
- 24:49Speaker 1: weren't really a thing until you sort of came along
- 24:51Speaker 1: with natural Glow.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Right now, do you still because natural Glow is natural
- 24:55Speaker 2: Glow still out there?
- 24:56Speaker 6: No? No, Because we stilled the whole company and sold
- 24:59Speaker 6: the whole shebang. Glow went with this and they never
- 25:03Speaker 6: continued with this.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Have you still got a pot of natural Glow?
- 25:07Speaker 4: I have?
- 25:08Speaker 6: Yeah, I still got a plot in a big blue
- 25:09Speaker 6: brush that you get absolutely free if you cor now.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Blue Monkey as well. We can't forget about the song
- 25:16Speaker 1: You're nineteen.
- 25:16Speaker 6: Ninety four mother you did. I'm trying hard to get
- 25:22Speaker 6: about it.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Loads of fun, very sweat, very sweat love The Blue Monkey. Now,
- 25:32Speaker 2: what how did the Blue Monkey eventuate?
- 25:35Speaker 1: And what is a blue Monkey?
- 25:36Speaker 2: It sounds like some sort of initiation that I'd have
- 25:39Speaker 2: to do at university, it does it.
- 25:43Speaker 6: It was actually a nightclub friend and I used go
- 25:46Speaker 6: to yeah called the Blue Monkey, and this said friend
- 25:50Speaker 6: was visiting me at the time for some reason. Now,
- 25:52Speaker 6: alcohol we had in the House of Port, and we
- 25:54Speaker 6: drank this whole bottle of port and by the end
- 25:56Speaker 6: of the night we'd come up with the idea of
- 25:58Speaker 6: this song and this down and called it the Blue Monkey.
- 26:02Speaker 6: Needless to say, I've never drank porting.
- 26:06Speaker 1: I've got Susan Paul with us.
- 26:07Speaker 2: What I'd really admire about you is so many people
- 26:09Speaker 2: have ideas and they never act on them, and you
- 26:12Speaker 2: actually go and you get off your butt and you
- 26:14Speaker 2: go and do them.
- 26:15Speaker 6: Yes, I have no fear of failure whatsoever. If I
- 26:19Speaker 6: think of something, I think, oh, yeah'll do that, And
- 26:22Speaker 6: even if I don't know how to do it, I
- 26:24Speaker 6: always think, well, I know how to take the first step. Don't.
- 26:26Speaker 6: I could just do that and then see what happened,
- 26:28Speaker 6: to see where that leads. I think people get overwhelmed,
- 26:31Speaker 6: they make plamers and they think, oh my god, this
- 26:33Speaker 6: plan is so huge. I don't know what to do,
- 26:36Speaker 6: so they don't do anything, and I just think of
- 26:39Speaker 6: it and think, yeah, what's the first thing I could do.
- 26:41Speaker 6: What's the first step I could take? Okay, take it
- 26:44Speaker 6: and away I go again.
- 26:45Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. There's always more. That is a
- 26:50Speaker 1: great call.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Great attitude in life, Susie and Paul is always It's

- 27:19Speaker 1: What have we done to the world.
- 27:20Speaker 2: You know, we're just trying to reflect on a happier,
- 27:22Speaker 2: simpler time. And there wasn't online dating in the nineties.

- 28:05Speaker 2: whatever they thought was a good time.
