and then we record them. They play out over the four-week summer break. We drink cocktails, and the evening, the afternoon, gets... Shloppy. It gets a bit sloppy. And the odd tangent happens. Tangents occur.

Sometimes, I don't know, Santa got a little bit sexy. It's going to be a Tuesday when we record this. That's wild. I think it's good. It'll hold us back. Excuse me, that was a hiccup. Hold us back. I don't know if it well.

Never has in the past. this very recently I accidentally raw dog the supermarket I thought I could talk about that today on the podcast that's an experience I don't want to relive it's where you go to the supermarket by yourself but no headphones I accidentally did this at the gym the other day because I forgot my headphones

are you off the gym yeah rough man I don't mind I just I'm there I just do it I can't I'll go home in the supermarket or the gym no car parks on the ground floor I better go home yeah yeah yeah drive it not no car parks I like my list my headphones and sometimes a podcast, sometimes just some music.

Same. It's like to Rored Dog the Supermarket. Let me play you a selection of the tunes that the supermarket played for me while I was a being raw dog by the supermarket. Because I was going to say it's not, is it the earphones, do they give you some kind of protection from? It's just a nice insular experience. Yeah, okay. Because you remember that the New World Shafers Park playlist is very famous in Wellington. Very popular playlist.

So this is Eagle I Cherry. This is a supermarket classic. Market classic. That's a supermarket classic. Because a supermarket song has to be middle of the road. Inoffensive. Inoffensive, popular. Not too rough, not too sad.

Yep. Not too fast. Yeah, not too old. I reckon there be an ideal tempo for a supermarket song. Will you give that a Google? Because there will be. They will have done the methodology behind it. The psycho reasons.

To get you to read. To get you to buy. This one also. Which is interesting because this is she so high. I always thought this was about drug use. Yeah. So did I But it's a classic

But she's so high I will say that's quite petty I said that was quite pitchy I may have been a little I may have been a little more testy than usual on the supermarket trip because I was just noticing

poor behaviour from everybody at the supermarket like manhandling cauliflower and trying to get the biggest one because it wasn't per hundred grams it was per unit oh yeah I do that

so what's your problem with that? handling. I always pick it up, rolling around looking and putting it back. Well, of course I'm going to have a look at it. I don't want a Mankey one. I did notice the harder to reach apples were better. Because I guess all the short people are at the front and I can just reach over and grab the good apples from the back. Always get your produce from the back if you can reach it because people can't reach it.

So apparently the ideal tempo for shopping store music depends on the store's goals. Slow music encourages customers to browse longer and spend more time in the store. While fast-paced music speeds up customer. movement, potentially increasing customer turnover. Okay. So slower tempos are often recommended. The cores, eh? The cores were on.

Oh, yeah, great. Oh, this is a supermarket, classic. Yeah. Absolutely classic. I mean, they really put together quite a nice playlist for us. Yeah. And then I always have my headphones off when I get to the end to pay, because it's rude to be on the phone or anything going through that part.

Not if yourself checkout, it's only rude to yourself. I had a chatter, right? He was telling me I was buying these bullduck noodles that my daughter's love. And he's like, try this new flavor? I was like, nah. He's like, it's no good. They're not going to like it. I was like, oh, no, it's too late.

Some supermarkets need that option. Most supermarkets are not a product because it's normally some uni student that doesn't want to talk to you because they can't. They lack the skills because you're old. But they do. They need that option that Uber has. No conversation. No chat.

Cool temperature. Yeah. No chat. I didn't have that option for my Uber when I landed at the airport at the airport at the weekend and by the time we had got to the first set of traffic lights by the international terminal I found out he had five daughters he spent six months of the year in New Zealand and six months in the UK or something yeah yeah I was like fuck dude I'm tired man I was like and but I think he did by then and then the rest of the rest of it was so

headliner unloaded all of the information he wanted it was lovely but you know anyway he was lovely but shut the fuck up he was so lovely but shut the fuck up yeah like People have a pair of sunglasses in the car all the time. I feel like I might just get a pair of headphones in the car all the time as a backup. Yeah, get one with a don't gongle. I don't mind the supermarket without... Oh no, it's a whole experience. Yeah, but I'm shopping for a whole week for a family.

So I'm there for a long time, you know? Yeah, right. You're in and out. Bachelors handbag, bag of colesler and two or three buns. Sometimes my supermarket does a low... What do they call it, a low... Stimulation hour? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But to me, it just seems the idea. time for shoplifting because the lights are dim yeah like you know it's really aimed at the autistic community I was gonna say I've had some bloody good chats about trains during this quite else yeah beautiful stuff and depth stuff
