Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overthinkers podcast. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Somebody says that. Who is that? Who is that? Who said that? That was their saying. Good afternoon. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. That's somebody saying.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Good morning. Isn't that on one of your favorite movies, Jim Carrey movies? Good morning. And if I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, isn't he? And it's in that movie. Can you at least say it words so people don't think I'm bummer something? I'm wondering how many people are just thinking it's me
Starting point is 00:00:33 as a Truman Show. Yes, I love that movie. That's one of my top. Maybe let's put in the tens. I wanted you to get it. Yeah, my kids haven't seen him. They love Jim Carrey. Do you think it's a...
Starting point is 00:00:42 Yes, God, it's a fantastic... It's my favorite Jim Carrey movie by far, and I would love him. I would love him to remake it. I'd say Dumb and Dumber. And I'd say the mask. It'd be another one. I love...
Starting point is 00:00:57 Why haven't they made a Trubon show? I feel like we really could. could do like a kind of darker Truman show these days. Like with Black Mirror and all the fucking... Lai Lai. Yeah. That's another goody. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Dan is busy. He's in like meetings and stuff. Yeah, busy, busy guy. Trying to work out if he's still going to be on the show next year. Yeah, don't you worry. He's the star. He'll be fine. He's just like going and then being like...
Starting point is 00:01:17 But do you... Everyone won't worry sometimes that sometimes you get a little bit too pushy. And then I worry this for us. Uh-huh. That Dan gets to a point where he gets... No, he's so chill. But then he'll get like... racked up, racked up, right, then I'm out.
Starting point is 00:01:32 And they'll go, okay, and he'll go, fine. And then he'll walk out, and then he'll be walking to this car, and go, what did I, what happened? I worry about that sometimes do. And especially because, you know, his wife, and he said this before, is on a good income. So it's not like he needs it, the job. Whereas with me, as my workplace knows,
Starting point is 00:01:52 unfortunately, it is definitely more necessary for me to have a job, you know, because my husband is a stay-at-home dad. so there's a little bit more that I can't be there and be like well fuck the job but I go okay homeless What are you going to do
Starting point is 00:02:05 No then you go well I'll go play for the other team Oh right I am like already half gay So I don't know Play you play for both Yeah but that's the thing You get worried if they want you Yeah
Starting point is 00:02:16 Yeah I've never done that I've never played for the other team No In radio No I'm not we're not still in the metaphor Yeah because some people will jump there And then they jump back Because there's only if you didn't know
Starting point is 00:02:24 There's only two owners in radio and we own half of them and they own the other half. So if you piss one off, you really do properly, literally burn that bridge. Yeah. It's hard to get back.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Although your talent have done it. Whether Dan's one of them, I'm not sure. Yeah, gosh, they have proven it. And it's so funny because once people, that's when, when I first started radio, I felt it was very much so cut and dry. You do not meddle with the other team. Like you don't play, you don't hang with them,
Starting point is 00:02:55 you don't talk to them, medal with them. A medal, sorry, metal's the right word. You don't mingle. And when I started dating guy in private because of that because he worked at ZM. And oh my God, when it was found out that I was dating him, it was, you'd think that I'd started World War IV. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:14 I had gotten like men saying to me, like, there were like leaks and they had me in private meetings saying, you've told them more information about our promotions. It was so crazy. Because the competition would have had something to combat what we were doing with. thought the only way they could have known is because you told your boyfriend. I put up a photo when my husband was in the rainbow parade. He was in the rainbow parade in one of the floats. He was dressed up as a king for ZDM.
Starting point is 00:03:36 And he was walking with the Black Thunders. That's what they were called. I think they might still be. Their car was driving along. And I went to the Rainbow Parade to sport him. And he came over and gave me a kiss while he was dressed up as a king. And my flatmate took a photo of him, give me a kiss at the time. Rainbow Parade, beautiful moment.
Starting point is 00:03:53 And in the background, you could see half of the Black Thunder. So it said B-L-A-C, and you couldn't see the rest of the car. And I got a phone call on Saturday afternoon, so out of work hours, from my boss, I think I got a couple of miss calls, and then I got a third phone call. And he was so wound up by that point that he didn't even say hello, and he yelled at me, take that fucking photo down. Because you were in a photo that had a work vehicle from an opposite station. From where my boyfriend worked.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And I was kissing my boyfriend. Back in the day. Isn't that crazy? It's so different now. because there's so many people that have now crossed over and come back, and it's just a big mixed bag. It's like we weren't even allowed to say on another radio station's name in case anyone heard the name and then instantly punched to that station.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Like that's how humans operate. It was so insane. Of course they don't do that. Everyone knows those buttons in your car and what they have for and how they go to other radio stations. No one is listening to us and thinks were the only radio station that exists. And if they don't like what we're doing, they'll jump. They don't need us to just mention the rock or mention Z&M
Starting point is 00:04:53 and all of a sudden they jump. And it was my boyfriend. It was just so bizarre, which is now my husband that is the father of my two children. I don't know if they thought it would just be like a throwaway fling thing, but it wouldn't matter either way. How fun was it sneaking around, though? Oh, God, it was good. And I'll never forget when we got caught by somebody, we just would go into the movies. And then somebody saw us together.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And they were like, what are you two doing together? And that was the first time we were like, oh, the fucking cats out of the bag. We had to like, yeah, sneak dates and stuff. We weren't allowed to eat together. How long did you sneak for? We snuck around for maybe a month and a half, two months. that nobody knew were seeing each other
Starting point is 00:05:26 from like the other sides a bit of the other side. But it was also a bit aw, because you stopped having sex in your car and stuff. No, we still did that.
Starting point is 00:05:33 We still did that. Oh, Jesus. Guy got cramping his foot. Holy hecker. Just had some music royalty walk into the producer booth sir Dave Dobbin and lead singer
Starting point is 00:05:43 front man Joel from LAB. Yeah, we're going to throw. So it ends on that. Sorry, they're a little early. When a sir does walk into the booth, you stop what you are doing and you do not make him wait.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So that'll be our podcast done for the day. We'll wrap this one up and we'll catch you. Sorry, it's short and sweet. We'll catch you again tomorrow. This is the Overthinkers podcast.
