  Speaker 2: It's about psychology.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaking of famous actors, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: two massive Hollywood actors. So obviously they've done a few
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: movies together, Good Will Hunting, Jersey Girl.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They have a new one that came out at the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: start of this year called The Rip.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I would say that because I love these two actors.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I love them together especially.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Well, they're best mates, aren't they?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I didn't realise this, but they're actually lifelong
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: childhood friends. They literally grew up blocks apart to the
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: point that before even achieving their fame, their bond was
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: so tight, they shared a joint bank account to help
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: pay for like audition trips.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And bills and whatnot.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, my best friend of all time, I met
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: her when I was 14. I still don't have a
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: joint bank account with her.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Ben and Matt were asked in a recent interview what
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: they think is the biggest mistake actors make during auditions.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Have a listen to what they said.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: People not being off book.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, people reading.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: They haven't memorized the scene and they're just reading versus
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: the actors who come in. And they've got the scene
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: completely dialed and they're trying different things in different takes.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: And they're really locked in and listening to the person
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: that they're in the scene with.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Just there's nothing. I've never seen anyone get a job
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: like that. Right.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So you got an audition. And instead of me going,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards were handed out over
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: this weekend.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: In the U.S., You're acting it out.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you actually memorise it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Which I would have assumed everyone would have done. Like
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: if you are going for an acting role, surely you're
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: learning the lines and acting. I agree.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Isn't that how you're like leading with your best foot?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's like an interview, right?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Well, like a job interview. I've been in radio bloody
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: so long now. I've never really done job interviews. What
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: are you like with them? I know you got into
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: radio later.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Well, every job interview I have gone for, I've gotten
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the job. I think you have to be– you don't
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: have to be super, super intelligent. You have to have–
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: people skills. You have to be able to hold a
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: conversation to be able to speak somewhat eloquently.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: So are you a personality hire then? You're terrible, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh, she's great at talking.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I will never forget this one job.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I was filling in for a maternity cover and it
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: was a paralegal role. And I'd just come out of
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: doing advertising, which was super fun.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I worked on a.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Big lovesack cushion, and I worked on a laptop, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: you could ride roller skates around the office. And then
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I went from that into corporate, into legal. However, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: got paid twice as much, so YOLO. But I remember
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: doing this maternity cover, and after six months, my boss
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: at the time, Jason, said to me, hey, listen– So
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the work is okay, but the energy and just having
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: your presence in the office is what this company needs.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And it really picks up the morale and everything. So
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you've got the job.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: So literally personality hire.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: It was 1 million percent the most backhanded compliment I've ever,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: like you're shit at your job, but like you're great fun.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So you're hired.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And that's what we're thinking here at Kiss as well.
