From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletchpawn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Now, guys, I, in the heat of the moment, have left some customer feedback. Okay. I've been doing some reviewing recently. So I have been giving positive feedback. We're due. I recently purchased something online, and then the next day I got an email saying,

how did you feel about the customer service? Piss poor. And I thought the customer service was great. the person I dealt with on the phone because they had to follow something up after I bought it and followed up with the person on the phone they were amazing uh the thing that I purchased was of great value but the thing that really annoyed me because that during up a couple of times was the company that you call here in new zealand maybe they're in australia as well the and I know this is rich coming from me but the voice was really horrible oh give us a

performance it was an Australian girl and she was like welcome to blah blah blah blah And then because it was a, they had to explain a lot of things. You had to put up quite a lot of it. I had to put up with quite a lot of really intense over the top, nasal Australian, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. And there was no way to skip it. And I was like, you know, you're pressing through the options and it's, and it was just, I don't know why it graded me so much that when this email came the next day, do you have any suggestions? I said, I would probably re-voice the nasal Australian.

voice with something more palatable and easy to listen to. Fire that actress. She's got a scratchy little Ozzy voice. Do you know what it sounded like is, hey, who in the office wants to do this? Oh, I'll hear it. I've got a lovely voice. I reckon you do it, Casey. You're hard case.

Okay. Welcome to the company for your best. I love it when you can hear. They're doing a voiceover and it's Tracy from reception. Yeah. welcome to something or other press one and they've written down

what they have to say and for your other options press three I don't know if it's changed because I haven't driven into the airport car park for a while at Auckland airport but they had a voiceover

like please take your ticket play it's all plates now so I don't think they do that but you used to press the button it would give you a ticket and say please take your ticket and you can take your ticket

Yeah like Hello, welcome. Hello, welcome to ZM Medical Center. Please, please, take your ticket. Yes. Hey, take your ticket. And it's coming through like, do, do, do, do.

I've got a compliment to pay. Who too? I can't believe we've got this far into talking about voices, and I haven't covered the fact that whilst I was in Oratorua, yeah, as previously covered, I went through the KSC drive-thru, yeah, and because the girls wanted some popcorn chicken, and my princesses get what they want.

Yeah, because they're my parents. Princesses and I am the King. That's right, Daddy. And I pulled up to... Don't say that. Don't say that. I pulled up to the order box. Yep.

And I... And the most angelic voice said, place your order when you're ready. And I said two popcorn chicken mediums, please. And they said fantastic. I would have said two medium popcorn chickens, but that's just, that's me. Two medium popcorn chickens. Not two popcorn chickens mediums. I went two popcorn chickens.

No. Medium. I think Vaughn says it the right way because you have to select. collect popcorn chicken, then the size. All right. I'll accept that. So, I've never worked at KFC, that could be completely wrong. I said to the girls, is this one of those AI order boxes?

And they're like, no, it answered too fast. I said, but it's got a lovely, like, his voice was, because you know, you usually pull up to those things and it's like, when I'm ready, or do you need me to wait or? Yeah. So then I pull up, and this lovely lady opens the window, and I said, are you, you the voice? My girls, by the way, I just like, don't say anything. Shut up. Oh, Dad, you're so embarrassing.

Dad, no, leave her a line. I said, is that you, like the voice? And she's like, big of her. And I said, back there, when the box spoke, was that you? And she said, yes, I said, you've got the loveliest voice in a drive-through. Oh, God, you're in your cream. I said, it was really, I asked to ask the girls if they thought it was AI because it was so well-enunciated. Well, you need to get.

This KFC woman a job at this place, I think. And she said, she was blown away. She said, oh, thank you so much. And she said, it's, yes. Years of practice. Yeah, right. Your mic says next four. What about the guy at the airport that knows he's got a good voice?

Remember the other day? Oh, my gosh. What did he have going on? We were at the gate and it was like, welcome to those of you who have just joined at Gate 17. We are boarding to flights today. Yeah, are we talking an Air Stewart that's got the mic at the gate? No, no, he works. No, he wasn't on the plane.

It's just ground staff. Oh, just ground stuff. And he, God, he had a good command of the audience. I'll tell you what they were back. He was loving it. a Mata'wa? He absolutely slapped this. Kiyah, New Zealand.

Yeah, Matawa. Yeah. A bit of a Matawa. But he was having fun with her. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gave us too many updates, I'd say. Did he call any names specifically with confidence?

Because I love the old girl who will call it at the airport and she'll be like, if we are looking for a Mr. Nati R2 and Mrs. Taka, Nita, Nita, and Mrs. Taka, Hua. flight and you just say, oh, pretty ready. Poor, sweetie. Let's get some phonetics. This guy was basically Vaughn if he'd lost his job in radio. It was a one-man show. And got a job with a microphone at an airport.
