SPEAKER_02: 0:00

I'm gonna let you clap.

SPEAKER_03: 0:07

Wonderful. Shall we tell the viewers what we've just done and why? No, we don't need to we don't need to explain that. It's the first it's the first news series episode, so I think it's important they understand why we just Yeah, no, and and this is well, this is the first episode.

SPEAKER_02: 0:23

And for those people who aren't just listening, yes, you can also be watching this as well. So if you you know head over to YouTube and go and look for the all exclusive podcast. If you uh if you're just listening to this, you can also be watching how interesting this is in our brand new studio as well. Look at this. Brand new smells of paint. Yes, if there was an audience, they would they would be clapping and cheering right now. Actually, just just clap and cheer yourselves.

SPEAKER_03: 0:49

Can we add in some um is it called canned laughter? And round of applause. Can we do that? We've post-production.

SPEAKER_02: 0:55

We've had to add in a bit of canned laughter every time you've made a joke so far throughout the season. Thank you very much. Um if you ever want to talk directly to the viewers of the All Exclusive Podcast, just look down that camera there.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06

This one? Yeah, that one there. Can Runner Ross point at the cameras which one's alive first, please? Runner Ross, which one is Ashley's camera?

SPEAKER_02: 1:13

Can we introduce Runner Ross? Yes, so for season four of the All Exclusive Podcast, we've got somebody in the corner watching, listening to every move we make. He's the one looking after all the cameras. Uh, he also helps make the tea and the coffee as well. Can we have a round of applause for Runner Ross?

SPEAKER_04: 1:32

Lovely.

SPEAKER_02: 1:33

We can't tell you what gesture he just made towards us.

SPEAKER_03: 1:36

Um if you want to imagine what he looks like, um I it's best to just imagine like a reflection on an uneven surface is probably the best way to describe him.

SPEAKER_02: 1:50

I don't really know what what does that even mean? And Ronna Ross, just I'm gonna ask you a question. How would you describe Twitch? He says, uh he will let the cameras do the talking. Thank you, Ashley. Welcome not only to the brand new all-exclusive studio, but also to the all-exclusive podcast.

SPEAKER_03: 2:14

Thank you very much.

SPEAKER_02: 2:15

Um, is this would you call this Driftwood a circle? I possibly. I think it's impressive that it's drifted up on shore in a perfect circle, but it's um it's incredible really. I mean, this is not very good uh chat for those people who are just purely listening to the podcast, but if you are just listening, you are missing out on a very beautiful studio here, with actually, and I've not mentioned this before, but that we've got loads of little gifts that people have sent in during previous seasons of the podcast. We've got a little puffin up there, we've got a little Patty LaPuffin mug up the top there as well. Um I think that the mug was sent in from Heather Mary Fingleton. So a huge thank you to you. Congratulations. All sorts of different things. We've got our little award down there for 10,000 downloads. Up the top there is the uh award up there, very, very beautiful award for 50,000 downloads. And I haven't got any updates yet. Yep. But this is breaking news. Yeah. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. We are actually just short of a hundred thousand downloads before we've even started season four. I mean, maybe by next episode we might be at a hundred thousand downloads. We're not actually going to be able to tell you until episode three because uh we're recording the first two intros back to back, but that's a different thing. Um, how do you feel about being on a podcast with over a hundred thousand downloads potentially?

SPEAKER_03: 3:42

Uh I mean, it's very confusing. I'm not very good with numbers. So any anything bigger than like 20 as a concept for me, I really struggle with. Yeah. Same with like temperature, um, height. I just I don't really understand. But when the numbers get that big, I kind of lose interest, to be perfectly honest.

SPEAKER_02: 4:03

Is a problem that happens to our first guest on the podcast, which is coming up in this episode a little bit later on. We went down uh to five lakes, didn't we?

SPEAKER_03: 4:12

Yes, we did. Now that's an that's okay because it's only five. I understand that number.

SPEAKER_02: 4:16

Well, and we've actually found out on previous seasons of the podcast that it might actually be seven lakes. There are seven lakes. But we haven't counted. We're gonna do a bit of an investigation on that at some point. Um, Ash, you're gonna be joining me as co-host for some episodes. Thank you. I lost the competition. Well, I think we're the ones who have lost the competition here. What? Um but we're sort of training you up to be a co-host. How have you found the experience of uh co-hosting in certain episodes?

SPEAKER_03: 4:43

I just found it in this room, really. You just said come to the studios, and I found it for the for the door. It's got a sign on it. So it's quite how has the experience been? Um, do you know what? I I don't like to use the word delicious, so I won't. Um but it's been it's been really nice.

SPEAKER_02: 5:02

I've learned I've learned a lot. I've got one word, and that's painful. That is how that experience has been for me. Painful. Adjust your chair. Excuse me? What he talks very quietly throughout all of these episodes. You may even notice this through today's episode, just how quietly Ashley talks. Um, we've had to edit the the audio just to bring his voice up a little bit.

SPEAKER_03: 5:27

I think what I think I think well it is, it's years of of being an entertainer where I've had a microphone uh to my face. So I've not really I've not really been uh using my projective diaphragm enough. Well, we may have to sort of tape the microphone to your face moving forward as well. Yeah, it is a medical condition now. Yeah. I'm quite breathy.

SPEAKER_02: 5:47

Which I know, which uh yeah, I only discovered only the second half of that sentence, we're completely lost there.

SPEAKER_03: 5:55

Oh, this is I can't do this anymore.

SPEAKER_02: 5:58

Look, it's a lot we we can hear, and then in the corner as well, we've got somebody watching because um he is going to be joining us for the introduction for the second episode. Yes, um, but you might be able to hear his laughter in the corner there. Um, there's a couple of things I want to talk about because this is episode one of a brand new season of the All Exclusive Podcast. A couple of things, obviously, not just the brand new studio, but we are missing my former co-host, Henry Patterson, who has who is, should I say, sadly no longer with us. Um he's not dead. He has just moved on to other things, as he always was going to. But I would like to take this moment to just have a a brief silence for Henry Patterson, uh, the former co-host of the all-exclusive podcast.

SPEAKER_01: 6:56

This just tastes of lemon water. I sound flavorsome. So we were canoeing through the river wire, and I was used as the rudder. I do not have gang effects. I've had the pleasure of doing the parasitic Zayot the Priest. It's quite frightening. What are we gonna do with our dates? What are we gonna do with our dates after this season finishes? I think we can have a great time, Zach. It should be the Patterson's on tour, sponsored by Amex. Let's get into it, Jack. The all-exclusive podcast. That was good, actually.

SPEAKER_02: 7:34

Press play. Thank you very much. Thank you for that moment's pause. I'm crying.

SPEAKER_03: 7:40

Yeah, I know it's emotional. I know it's emotional, but I think what it was then, I don't understand big numbers, and I don't think you understand brief. Um, to be honest with you, but that was lovely. No, good. I was gonna say that Henry's moved on to greener pastures, but that does remind me of the time he was the cow in Panto.

SPEAKER_02: 7:58

Which we're not allowed to talk about. Let's not talk about nobody talks about Panto. Now, do you want to talk about some things coming up in today's episode or the next couple of episodes? Because you and I not only filmed four episodes so far down at Five Lakes. We went for a little visit down to Five Lakes. How did you find Five Lakes, first of all?

SPEAKER_03: 8:16

Just on Google Maps, really. You told me, you told me to type it in. We were going to travel down together, but you had to work for a bit, and I was like, I'll go down early, make some most of it. I saw Gemma, which is quite nice.

SPEAKER_02: 8:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 8:29

Um, not too far, not too far to get there. Really nice drive-through, really nice. What I like what I like about Five Lakes is they've that the the entrance is on a golf course, so you've got the danger of the flying balls as you went, which is a lovely welcome.

SPEAKER_02: 8:44

I think that was just for you. They rolled out that welcome mat of golf balls flying left and right. We enjoyed you being at Five Lakes so much.

SPEAKER_03: 8:52

We wanted to leave you there. I I would, it was it's a beautiful place. Yeah, it's it's a wonderful thing. There's a lot of marble.

SPEAKER_02: 9:00

There is a lot of marble there.

SPEAKER_03: 9:01

Yeah, you're right. It's I I think it's a wonderful. I love I love Five Lakes. I think it's brilliant. The team are wonderful.

SPEAKER_02: 9:08

It was a lot of fun actually speaking to some of the team members, and that's where we're heading for to for today's episode as well. Um, because we're going to kick things off this season uh with Alice. Yes. Alice Molner.

SPEAKER_03: 9:20

Yes. I well, I'm not going to do the joke, it's too obvious with the name, but yeah, she was an absolute delight.

SPEAKER_02: 9:26

Should we should we just take a moment to allow people to do the joke if they want to? Go on then. So today we'll be speaking to Alice. Well, we'll tell you who she is, and that is Alice Molner from Five Lakes. Um, is there we filmed this episode a long time ago. Yes. Um, because we've it's been manic with the summer of fun and all those sorts of things. So is there anything you remember about this episode? Not really. Was she the chef? I can't really remember. What? No, just make it up then.

SPEAKER_03: 9:58

Oh, yes. Yes, I remember. I no, okay, I'll be honest. I tell you what I really enjoyed about Alice was that um she's quite like me in terms of she she likes to do things like she was in charge of they do oh it's I don't it's a spoiler, it's a lot of things. It's a spoiler. Yeah, Taskmaster sort of thing. Their version of Taskmaster, right? Yeah. Um, and she's kind of the brains behind that. Um, and she just had some really wild, fun, funny ideas and concepts. And I just I really appreciate someone who thinks outside the box, and that was definitely her.

SPEAKER_02: 10:30

And there's a lot of that within this episode because she also invents a brand new game for the all-exclusive podcast, which we end up adopting for the rest of the season.

SPEAKER_03: 10:40

Yeah, we kind of took with it and run with it, and um, I did try and pass it off as my own, and then I you reminded me that these have been recorded, these podcasts, so I couldn't it's it's quite evident uh where this goes.

SPEAKER_02: 10:51

Should we just get into the episode? I know we've been talking a lot, we're catching up. There's lots more things to say, but I think let's just get straight into the episode. Let's go down to Fireflakes as we give you Alice Molner. Do we do it the same time?

SPEAKER_03: 11:06

I don't I was trying to remember her surname then.

SPEAKER_02: 11:09

Molner. Who? Alice Mulhern. No, no, that's like Stephen Mulhern. Yeah. What is it? We might not get you on to co-host many episodes.

SPEAKER_03: 11:20

No, Alice Mul.

SPEAKER_02: 11:21

Alice Mul Alice Mulner Molner, no press play. Three, because uh we always ask what people want on the all-inclusive menu. Yes. Uh Potters. And well, you chose two, but more based on the weather.

SPEAKER_06: 12:00

I did. Seasonal and weather based on the case.

SPEAKER_02: 12:03

Depending on the weather, I'll have either a Diet Coke or hot chocolate. And so we got you both.

SPEAKER_06: 12:08

That's very kind, thank you very much.

SPEAKER_03: 12:10

We didn't understand though what weather meant what, and I think that's why we both. Could you explain what weather would go with hot drink and what does the wine have?

SPEAKER_06: 12:21

Yes, I can do that. I mean the obvious thing is that it's cold weather, it's a hot drink, and it's warm weather you have a cold drink. That's the logic, but it's not that simple for me because it also depends on the time of the day and the time of the year. So, like, for example. There's a lot to break down.

SPEAKER_03: 12:41

You can't say the word obvious and then start talking about yearly cycles of feelings. I'm excited. I'm excited.

SPEAKER_06: 12:46

Look, the only thing that's obvious is that temperature-wise, oh, I'm cold today. Oh, I'll have a hot drink to warm me up. So that's logical. I'll do that in week.

SPEAKER_02: 12:54

Some people go for the opposite though. They think if you have a hot drink on a hot day, your internal body will cool you down. Yeah. Just to throw that into the mix. You start sweating.

SPEAKER_06: 13:04

I think they are wrong.

SPEAKER_02: 13:06

I'm I'm not a scientist. I can't banch for that. Fair. No.

SPEAKER_06: 13:10

Oh. But for example, a hot chocolate is actually really yummy in the morning, even if it's warm, like today. Or if you get hungry, hot chocolate fills you up more. Or if you need a sugar rush, hot chocolate is great.

SPEAKER_02: 13:23

It feels like that's the answer to most questions.

SPEAKER_06: 13:25

But Diet Coke, I like it when it's really crunchy.

SPEAKER_03: 13:28

And then that's really What do you mean by crunchy?

SPEAKER_06: 13:31

Like, um Are you a scientist? Not a scientist, but like it's very crunchy, like fizzy. Do you mean the ice?

SPEAKER_03: 13:41

Do you mean the ice cubes? No, no, no, no, no. Not the ice cubes.

SPEAKER_06: 13:43

Not the ice cubes. The actual drink itself and the carbonation of the bubbles, it's not at all flat. It's like just that those bubbles have just been put into that beverage and it's just as fizzy as it could be, and it's crunchy, and so it's not.

SPEAKER_02: 13:57

I've never heard someone describe a drink as crunchy before.

SPEAKER_06: 14:00

And now it makes sense. I don't know if it does. I don't know if that makes. I think you would. I think you would have two different types of fizzy drink and go, this one is crunchy, is what I think you would do.

SPEAKER_02: 14:15

Yes, it is as well. Okay, actually that is. Yeah? Maybe. I wouldn't describe it as a crunch feeling. You're chewing a little bit. Oh I'll be trying to chew. How else do you I don't know. Right, how crunchy is your diet coke?

SPEAKER_06: 14:33

Okay. That's a six out of ten.

SPEAKER_02: 14:40

Wow. Oh, there's a lot of things. Are you sure? Because you looked really disappointed when you took a sip there.

SPEAKER_06: 14:45

Well initially, yeah, initially I thought, oh, this is this is like a five or below, but then took my time with it and there was some fizz there, but it's not quite fresh. Do you know as soon as it's been poured, it's gonna be super crunchy.

SPEAKER_02: 15:00

I think right, so I have to apologize because um we're I'm training Ashley. So I'm having different co-hosts for different episodes, yeah. Um to he's sort of shadowing me today uh in a sort of like work experience capacity. And my finish off.

SPEAKER_06: 15:18

Shadow. There you go.

SPEAKER_02: 15:19

That was a beautiful moment.

SPEAKER_03: 15:20

That really was. May I may I um uh blow your mind, please, Alice? Yep. Think about this fizzy, hot chocolate. How do you feel about that? Carbonate that milky drink.

SPEAKER_06: 15:36

I'm pretty sure it would ferment.

SPEAKER_02: 15:40

You do look disgusted at the even the mention here.

SPEAKER_06: 15:42

I'm so sorry, but it would. Do you know why I know this?

SPEAKER_02: 15:45

Please not use big words in front of me.

SPEAKER_06: 15:47

So I know full well that if you put milk with another kind of beverage, like a fizzy drink, it's gonna curdle. And it's gonna ferment.

SPEAKER_02: 15:58

What is what's the life lesson you've like? How did what led up to that moment?

SPEAKER_06: 16:02

So admittedly, this was all my fault, but we did I'm an entertainer, get me out of here.

SPEAKER_02: 16:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_06: 16:08

As a game show, and we had to have a drinking trial. So I was like, hey, what do I have on site that I can just whack in a cup and the entertainers are gonna drink it and they're gonna have to guess what the concoction is.

SPEAKER_02: 16:20

I've done that on many a night out and it's not pleasant.

SPEAKER_06: 16:22

On a night out? Oh wow, lovely. So I just panicked and went upstairs. There's always milk in our fridge, so I shoved some milk in a cup. Obviously, bars you can get your fizzies and stuff. So I just put a whole mix of things the fizzy, the milk, the water, anything I could find, I'll put it in this cup. And of course, sort of ten minutes went by before we were actually doing this challenge, and then he actually drunk it. It might have been Dan actually drunk it and it was curdled and almost formed a solid in the cup.

SPEAKER_02: 16:51

That would have been if you'd left it long enough, it would have been crunchy.

SPEAKER_06: 16:55

Well, yeah. I think not the nice kind of crunchy, it would have been like a nougar texture, I reckon. You know?

SPEAKER_03: 17:03

Nice. Like tofu. You've actually made it sound more appealing in a weird way.

SPEAKER_06: 17:08

Like, not good.

SPEAKER_03: 17:09

So you don't want um to put the hot chocolate in soda stream, fizz it up, try it. Best of both worlds. No. Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 17:17

I'm I'm gonna stick to the the I'm an entertainer and get me out of here. Go for it. What's your what's the worst challenge you've ever had to do for that?

SPEAKER_06: 17:25

Um honestly, I have the best job with this because I'm the planner, I'm the organiser.

SPEAKER_02: 17:30

Oh, so you actually just put everybody else through the page?

SPEAKER_06: 17:32

Correct, and this is the best bit about my day. So they have no idea. We've got a variety of these sort of game shows that I've based off some of my favourite shows, like Taskmaster, is my all-time favourite. Um I've done the live experience in London.

SPEAKER_05: 17:45

I've done the live experience in London.

SPEAKER_02: 17:47

Shut up, not yes. I was meant to go with Ashley to the live experience in London. And you did the. However, no, he he then No, we were we were meant to go, and then you pretended to be ill. Yes. You you called in sick. It was my wife actually who was ill, but yeah. That's not what you said to me at the time. And then you rearranged it for a day that I was working. Yes.

SPEAKER_03: 18:08

Yeah. Um Alice, how well did you get on in the world? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 18:13

I wanted to be so much better at it than what I was. But again, my experience with this, doing it so much here, is the host, the organiser. So I hadn't had much experience on with the hands-on tasks. So then when we walked in, I panicked way more than I wanted to. There was this awful task about remembering a very long sequence of numbers, and there were clues around the room. Surely you'd have an advantage, right? I would think, but I fell apart. I fell apart.

SPEAKER_02: 18:40

Did you not go to Sean afterwards, Sean Lee, and be like, why have I not learned from you how to remember things?

SPEAKER_06: 18:46

Yes, true. I should have, again, I had all that information in my brain, but it just disappeared so quickly under pressure. The panic set in, the fight or flight response set in. And so admittedly, we did not do very well. I was with my family at the time, and we did not win the medal.

SPEAKER_03: 19:01

What's the longest number you know?

SPEAKER_06: 19:04

Um maybe like a year.

SPEAKER_02: 19:10

What? The longest number you know.

SPEAKER_05: 19:13

Yeah, but do you mean to recite a year?

SPEAKER_02: 19:16

Because I could just What year is the longest number that you know?

SPEAKER_06: 19:19

I'd say 1998, because that would be my birth year, so that's always in my head. But you're you're implying that I have to recite a really long number. I could just recite you numbers, but I won't be able to remember it.

SPEAKER_03: 19:30

I'm not first of all, I'm not replying anything, how dare you? This is a professional podcast. Um and second of all, I'm shocked you're born in 1998. That makes me feel very old.

unknown: 19:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 19:42

How old are you then, Ashley? But because we've not talked about it on the podcast.

SPEAKER_03: 19:46

So maybe we did. So in Taskmaster.

SPEAKER_02: 19:50

What was your challenge, then? Go on. What in Taskmaster, what was your worst challenge?

SPEAKER_03: 19:55

Um we we oh it's hard though, because little Alex Horn basically promised us all at the beginning we we're not allowed to talk about the tasks to the general public.

SPEAKER_06: 20:06

Oh, they did, didn't they? Exactly. And you've just completely Well, they've closed the experience now, so you're not spoiling it for anyone.

SPEAKER_03: 20:12

Okay, then so one task was um there were random objects around the room. Pick Hang this is what Alice was just saying, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_06: 20:19

No, mine was to remember the numbers, but I think I did this one. It was just building a tower with an egg on top. Yes.

unknown: 20:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 20:26

It's just there we go then.

SPEAKER_06: 20:27

I've explained it for you. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_02: 20:29

And you did it a lot quicker than he ever would.

SPEAKER_03: 20:31

How did you get on with that? Well, no, well, the point that so obviously you didn't know you were meant to build a tower. It was first of all just pick three random objects. So I don't know why, but something in my head was like, I think I have to hide these objects on my persons. So I picked very soft, very small objects. Okay, but did you pick it up? I think one was a tea towel. And where did you hide the tea towel? I I'm not gonna say. No, well no, I didn't have to hide it. That's the point. Well, they then revealed the air.

SPEAKER_02: 21:03

Yeah, of course. I got lost in trying to think about where you'd put the tea towel. No, no one put a tea towel anywhere. Good.

SPEAKER_06: 21:09

But I do love that task. That is one I bring here and I give them bananas and pineapples, and they don't know they're gonna have to hide them on their person. Oh wow. And then they choose a fruit at random and then it's hide it on your person, and the result is always brilliant.

SPEAKER_02: 21:21

Okay, pick a fruit, where are you hiding it?

SPEAKER_06: 21:24

Um that yeah. I mean, look, if every time one of the boys picks a banana, you know where that's gone, right? I'd if I choose two apples, you know where that's going. There's some classic gags you can play. Where is it going? Yeah, well, I don't understand. I'll talk to you about that later.

SPEAKER_04: 21:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_06: 21:41

But there's also something you could just choose a grape. You could just pop it in your mouth, put it under your tongue. Who's gonna know it's there?

SPEAKER_02: 21:46

That's that's not a bad one.

SPEAKER_03: 21:48

Why Yeah. I will if I see you put a grape in your mouth, I'm gonna know you've got a grape in your mouth.

SPEAKER_06: 21:53

No. Again, that's another task. Put a grape in your mouth, and then we go down the line, and you've got to try and figure out if the person's like d deliberately acting that they've got one in there to try and deceive you, or have they actually genuinely got one?

SPEAKER_03: 22:06

Again, if I've just seen you put a grape in your mouth, I know you've got a grape in your mouth. But do you? Yeah, no, what if you pretend to put a grape in your mouth?

SPEAKER_06: 22:15

Exactly. You don't know my acting ability here, man.

SPEAKER_02: 22:17

Oh.

SPEAKER_06: 22:18

I might have just absolutely bamboozled you. You've got very gangster though.

SPEAKER_02: 22:22

She's getting quite angry with you.

SPEAKER_06: 22:24

You thought it's gone in my mouth and it hasn't, because I that's what I wanted you to think.

SPEAKER_03: 22:29

Would you do that with a pineapple?

SPEAKER_06: 22:32

No. Because a pineapple is um fizzy.

SPEAKER_02: 22:36

It is fizzy. It can be fizzy. Yeah. Pineapple. Not crunchy.

SPEAKER_03: 22:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 22:42

It can be can it be crunchy? That's a no.

SPEAKER_03: 22:45

Do you know the fact about eating a pineapple?

SPEAKER_06: 22:48

It's the little bugs on it. Eat your tongue.

SPEAKER_03: 22:51

Enzymes.

SPEAKER_02: 22:53

But I don't they're not bugs.

SPEAKER_05: 22:55

I was I was told they were.

SPEAKER_02: 22:57

Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_05: 22:58

Like enzymes, little bugs.

SPEAKER_02: 23:00

You're half right to some extent. Maybe. But it is the enzymes that dissolve your tongue.

SPEAKER_06: 23:06

Yeah.

unknown: 23:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 23:07

What bugs are we talking about?

SPEAKER_06: 23:08

I thought that was the thing that dissolves your tongue, these tiny little guys on there.

SPEAKER_02: 23:13

The guys. You sex them. Okay. That's why that is actually why pineapple on pizza. What do you feel about that first?

SPEAKER_06: 23:21

Uh, I'm indifferent. I won't choose it, but it doesn't bother me if you have it.

SPEAKER_02: 23:25

The ham and pineapple work because it helps break down meat.

SPEAKER_06: 23:29

Oh.

SPEAKER_02: 23:30

I'm a scientist, remember? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um I'm talking about memory, so you have really long numbers you have to remember. Did you do that? We've got Sean at the end of today. And he is the memory man. Correct. We are gonna put him to the test with his memory. Give us three completely random objects, and we're gonna see if he can remember them at the end of the episode.

SPEAKER_06: 23:55

Cool. I'll say cheese grater, I'll say flip-flop, and I'll say Lazy Susan.

SPEAKER_03: 24:08

Yes. Okay, first I may ask, what type of cheese grater do you have? Do you have the box one or is it uh one-sided, what are we talking about? Box. The box are the best.

SPEAKER_06: 24:19

They are. Took me ages to figure out that you can go down and up on a cheese grater. It looks like you should only be going one way with the cheese in order for it to grater it properly, but you can actually go both ways with the cheese.

SPEAKER_02: 24:33

No. Yeah. Where were where were you when you found this out?

SPEAKER_06: 24:37

Well, the cheese grater at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not every side. There's a specific side that is cut in a way that you can do both.

SPEAKER_03: 24:45

As you're a quiz master, you say, do you have a favourite question for us? You know, a tricky one, a common one, something that you can maybe test us.

SPEAKER_06: 24:53

One I used to do a lot, I don't do so much anymore because obviously you have to, you know, reinvent quizzes so that you don't learn the answers. I used to ask, true or false, cows can moo with regional accents.

SPEAKER_03: 25:07

I'm gonna say true. I'm gonna say true as well.

SPEAKER_06: 25:11

You'd be right. It is true.

SPEAKER_03: 25:12

Well done. This is the for the viewers and listeners, this is the first time I've met Alice. Um so what might be nice game for me is if she moves in her regional accent, I we can guess where she's from. And we could do it with all the guests. Yeah. I don't know what the game show could be called, but I think Alice can come up with the name of the game for the Where I Move From. Where a move from. That's actually annoyingly genius. Write that down. Where a move from. Unless you're game now, Alice. You've created the game for the podcast. You look really thrilled about it, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06: 25:44

As I say, you really don't need to credit me. I think you should take full credit for this one.

SPEAKER_03: 25:47

You don't want anything to do with this.

SPEAKER_06: 25:49

Take full credit, please.

SPEAKER_03: 25:50

I'm still learning, so I would, but it's now yours. Alice is not listening to us. All she's thinking is, I've got a moo in a way.

SPEAKER_06: 25:58

Yeah, I'm trying to think how I can moo in a way that would be helpful to you.

SPEAKER_02: 26:01

How about give us your normal moo?

SPEAKER_06: 26:03

I'll do like one that I would consider to be my regional accent. I don't think I necessarily have a full-blown crazy accent.

SPEAKER_02: 26:10

What would you say our accent is without the moo? Who's? Mine's.

SPEAKER_03: 26:14

Alice. Who's Alice? Oh, um Can you speak for me, please, as I can.

SPEAKER_06: 26:20

Yep.

SPEAKER_03: 26:22

I would say I can hear English in there.

unknown: 26:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 26:27

Okay, okay, good stuff.

SPEAKER_03: 26:28

It's quite a wide region that you've gone for.

SPEAKER_02: 26:31

Can you say something else, please?

SPEAKER_06: 26:33

I can tell you that my name is Alice and I work at Potter's Five Lakes as an entertainer.

SPEAKER_02: 26:38

Start off reading musical that didn't.

SPEAKER_03: 26:41

Yeah. I like to sing. I seem so. I said I can hear that you're well trained. I can hear a little bit of Italia Conte training in there. Um so I think. Do you want me to put the card back over so you can read some more? Uh oh, that's right. Um I think you are I it sounds like you're it sounds like you're from Colchester Zoo.

SPEAKER_06: 27:03

Do you want the moo now?

SPEAKER_03: 27:04

Please, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 27:06

So I was trying to think of the region, and I'd probably moo like Oh, you went down at the end there. That was that was more like like up. It was a quick one. Because I feel that went too up north. I feel that went too north.

SPEAKER_06: 27:26

There's one I'm trying to do, and I could speak it, can I speak it without the moo or no? That would ruin us.

SPEAKER_03: 27:31

Have a practice, have a practice.

SPEAKER_02: 27:32

Move a couple of times. Move as many times as you want.

SPEAKER_06: 27:37

I think I'm going to have to literally talk in the accent and then go into a move. Is that going to ruin it?

SPEAKER_02: 27:42

Let's close our ears for a moment. Yeah, close our ears.

SPEAKER_06: 27:44

So I think I need to say something like, Alright, girls, let's go get a spray tan, and then I would say, moo, that was it.

SPEAKER_02: 27:52

Oh no, we said I've got the moo, I've got the move, I've got it. Here we go.

SPEAKER_06: 27:55

Hands away from ears.

SPEAKER_03: 27:57

Pardon?

SPEAKER_06: 27:58

Moo.

SPEAKER_03: 28:00

Wow, that was that was very different. That one I'm happy with. And very different as well. Um there was a twang, a local twang. I'm gonna say Essex.

SPEAKER_06: 28:12

Yeah, that's exactly it.

SPEAKER_03: 28:14

This life game.

SPEAKER_06: 28:15

Colchester is right specifically, yes, but I was gonna think Essex in my head for a moo.

SPEAKER_03: 28:20

So do you like that game as a concept?

SPEAKER_06: 28:22

I didn't mind it, yeah. I think you need a really interesting accent to make it a bit more fun, though.

SPEAKER_02: 28:26

Yeah. Can you can you do any accents?

SPEAKER_06: 28:29

I like to think I could, but they're tricky, aren't they? Like an Irish accent, obviously you've said about Italian Conte, and they are meant to train us in how to do accents. But they would give us phrases, and those phrases are quick ways into accents. So, like for a New York, you're meant to say talk and through a tiny tube, and then you were meant to just be in a New York accent. Which it's cool, but it doesn't stay consistent for me.

SPEAKER_02: 28:52

No, because then once you've finished your own the phrase that you know, you've got How do you say the other words? What would a New York cow sound like?

SPEAKER_06: 29:00

Again, I'm gonna have to say talk and through a tiny tube. I'm a cow and I go mo.

SPEAKER_02: 29:04

That's it.

SPEAKER_06: 29:09

And then Irish as well. I used to really want to do Irish because it's my favourite accent, but the only thing I could say was hi Nai Brankay.

SPEAKER_02: 29:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 29:15

And then after that, I got nothing.

SPEAKER_02: 29:17

Well, it's relevant. Cow's in there.

SPEAKER_06: 29:18

Oh yeah, it is. That's a coincidence.

SPEAKER_02: 29:20

And an Irish cow goes.

SPEAKER_06: 29:22

Hi Nai Brankai. Me?

SPEAKER_02: 29:25

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 29:26

That's so good. Yeah, come on.

SPEAKER_05: 29:30

Wow. I'm great, I'm happy with that.

SPEAKER_02: 29:32

We're gonna who do you think? So we've got yourself, we've got Emily, uh Little Legs, Ben, and Sean Little Sean. Who what accent should we give them to do?

SPEAKER_06: 29:44

Tell them to do. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 29:46

This is gonna come on in different episodes, but uh they're really interested to see. Who do you think is gonna be the best moua?

SPEAKER_06: 29:51

Emily Keneally is really good at accents. Okay. She's got a really good ear, actually. But yeah, so that's that's impressive. She teaches a sign language class here. Obviously she knows how to do it, but she has such an ear still for accents. Oh wow. And is really good at like backstage, you know. Can just do them when we're chatting. I think Sean would struggle with an accent, but I think Ben would give it a go.

SPEAKER_02: 30:12

What okay, if Sean's gonna struggle, what accent should we give him?

SPEAKER_06: 30:16

Scouser.

SPEAKER_02: 30:17

Scout. Nice hard accent.

SPEAKER_06: 30:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 30:20

What would your scouse sound like? Have you got a phrase for scouse?

SPEAKER_06: 30:23

I normally say, Do you want to be my blood brother, Eddie? And then I go a little bit scouse. And I really like to say Shechen.

SPEAKER_03: 30:31

Shechen?

SPEAKER_06: 30:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 30:32

That's not a cow. That's the case.

SPEAKER_06: 30:34

Wait, is that not scouts? No, it's not a scout. No, that was scouts.

SPEAKER_02: 30:36

It was a chicken, not a cow. It was what would a scouse cow sound like?

SPEAKER_06: 30:40

Shechen. Moo.

SPEAKER_02: 30:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 30:45

You found a new talent. You found a new talent. You did reference a uh musical there, I believe.

SPEAKER_06: 30:52

Is it a musical? Oh yes, that's musical. Yeah, Blood Brothers.

SPEAKER_03: 30:56

What's your favourite um Favourite musical?

SPEAKER_06: 30:59

Oh mate, that's a question. I can never pick. I'm very bad at I've never enjoyed questions like what's your favourite colour? What's your favourite animal? Because I don't like to commit. I can tell you an answer, but I don't like to commit to one answer because again, like the beverages, it changes year to year, season to season, based on how I'm feeling on the day, it will change.

SPEAKER_02: 31:19

It's a nice summer day, so what is your favourite colour?

SPEAKER_06: 31:23

Green. I really like no, no, I really like green at the minute, to be fair.

SPEAKER_02: 31:26

You're wearing green.

SPEAKER_06: 31:27

Yeah, I do really like green. Um, musical-wise, there's probably my top three that I'm listening to at the minute would be Hades Town, Groundhog Day. Um what was my other one? Why have I forgotten? Is this in the street? That's not in the show. I just got a kill time. What was it? That I was listening to a little while ago. Not West Side Story. Oh, Guys and Dolls. Love the Lusikin Guys and Dolls.

SPEAKER_03: 31:53

They've brought back Groundhog Day.

SPEAKER_06: 31:54

Yeah, they did, and I saw it, and now it's in Australia.

SPEAKER_03: 31:58

They've brought back Groundhog Day. They brought it back from Australia.

SPEAKER_06: 32:02

Is this a joke because Groundhog Day is that you relive the same day every day?

SPEAKER_03: 32:05

Oh, okay. Jack didn't get that, did you? He didn't get it, no.

SPEAKER_06: 32:09

Not a fan.

SPEAKER_03: 32:10

Not a fan.

SPEAKER_06: 32:12

Do you often feel like you're living the same day every day?

SPEAKER_02: 32:14

I've the same moment. Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 32:17

Wow.

SPEAKER_02: 32:18

Quite quite frequently.

SPEAKER_06: 32:19

I think it shows the lines on your face get you know worse and worse.

SPEAKER_02: 32:23

I age quite considerably.

SPEAKER_06: 32:27

I've just got to test the boundaries here, you know, see where where the line is.

SPEAKER_03: 32:31

You are you keep testing them. That's good. They're bringing back Groundhog Day.

SPEAKER_02: 32:35

Shall we just chat about something else? Yeah. If you want to drink your hot chocolate as well, because at the moment the cream is sort of just heading further and further around.

SPEAKER_06: 32:45

I'm happy to just let this science experiment play out, really, and see how much worse it gets.

SPEAKER_02: 32:49

And at the end, are we putting some of the Diet Coke in there to see how it quickly is?

SPEAKER_06: 32:53

Well, I mean, if you don't believe me that it will ferment, then yeah, but I won't drink it.

SPEAKER_02: 32:58

We talked a bit obviously we mentioned Italia Conte.

SPEAKER_06: 33:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02: 33:02

Um We'll talk about that in a moment, but what was your first experience of entertainment then, your profession?

SPEAKER_06: 33:09

Um how far back do you want to go?

SPEAKER_02: 33:12

Well, how how how far?

SPEAKER_06: 33:14

1998.

SPEAKER_02: 33:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 33:15

Okay. In the womb, there I was. Uh no, I reckon, and I can't really remember this, but I've seen many a video of like a what's the one before primary school, like nursery? Yeah. We did a sleepy in the Sleeping Beauty production.

SPEAKER_02: 33:29

Sleepy in the Butte.

SPEAKER_06: 33:30

Yeah, that's the one. But I have always been a bit of like a an on it person. I like my organization, and I knew what my line was, and I had it rehearsed. And I was the first fairy and I had to walk forward and I had to say this line. But on the day my friend got nervous and she got pushed in front of me because she was so nervous. They were like, just go, go first, say the line. But of course, I was fuming because then my line was different. And the teacher was there telling me what the line was as I walked up to say it. And I just looked so unprofessional at four years old, going, Well, now my line's changed. And there is video footage of me. You see the whole thing play out because obviously my mum's not filming the main story. She's filming off to the side where all this conversation is happening. And you see my little angry face kind of storm up and forget the line and clearly get a bit upset that I've forgotten the line. So it was probably that first. Then it was dancing for the whole childhood, as a lot of kids do. And then it was all just amateur productions, local theatre, to then feel like, oh, maybe this is something I can pursue more seriously. Um, and then the ball just was rolling.

SPEAKER_02: 34:41

Is that all around around Colchester?

SPEAKER_06: 34:43

Yeah, all around Colchester, to be fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty much my whole life there. So we've got some great theatres, Headgate Theatre and Mercury Theatre, we're so lucky to have on our doorstep, and there's lots of groups that facilitate for those two places. So yeah, it's really good.

SPEAKER_03: 34:57

Is there anything you do now for them or the last when you've done most recently?

SPEAKER_06: 35:01

Headgate Theatre, I still am in good contact with. I'm actually going to choreograph their panto this year, uh, which will be exciting. And I'm involved in two plays at the minute outside of here. Um I'm just trying to stay. I guess like I've done the amateur theatre and I'm happy with that. And then once you go into your professional training, you want every job after that to be either a professional credit or to come with a fee. So these two plays, I'm really lucky, are professional credits, which would be really good.

SPEAKER_02: 35:27

What are they?

SPEAKER_06: 35:28

So Hobson's Choice, which is a northern accent, and I'm having to learn for that.

SPEAKER_02: 35:32

What's the northern accent? Go.

SPEAKER_06: 35:33

Um, the phrase I've got is brother from another mother, the last in class, a happy baby. Um, and what's the other one? Talking in the kitchen, but I can't really do that one. So they're the phrases I'm saying, Tabby.

SPEAKER_02: 35:46

And the northern cow would go.

SPEAKER_06: 35:49

The lasting class. Moo. Yeah. Maybe. That's very good. So we're thinking about that. And then the other one is actually a new piece of writing. We have a cup just a fringe here in October. Yeah. So it will be going in the fringe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 36:02

Nice. That's very cool. It is very cool. It's good to I think it's nice to do things outside of Potters as well, and and and still, I suppose to so close to where you you know that your community should we say. So keep do uh you know, to keep doing that is actually quite lovely, isn't it?

SPEAKER_06: 36:16

Yeah, it is lovely because we are such a bubble here, which is lovely. But obviously you get the singing here, which I'm so grateful for. Like my singing has improved so much. Um, and the platform to do it here, I absolutely love singing sets. But of course, well, you're not going to do a play here, so yeah, it's good to find it elsewhere.

SPEAKER_02: 36:34

Yeah, I suppose it uh it gives that sort of diversity.

SPEAKER_06: 36:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 36:38

Um internally at Potters, what's your favourite thing to do? Is it the sets? Any shows?

SPEAKER_06: 36:42

It's the singing sets and the quizzes and the game shows, especially like the taskmaster-esque ones. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 36:48

Um that's different again as well. Where else would you get that opportunity to do such a diverse pool of different things?

SPEAKER_06: 36:54

This is what I say to people. Every time we'll have new guests coming in in the week and they say, Oh, you're here, they're everywhere, and you know, how long have you been here and do you enjoy your job? And the answer is always it's the variety that suits me. I like having my brain in all the different places and the ability to within hours you're switching up and do something else. So, yeah, I like it a lot.

SPEAKER_03: 37:13

What's your what's your favourite thing to sing and how do you go about learning song lyrics?

SPEAKER_06: 37:19

My favourite thing to sing, so I have a little set here that I've been chipping away at. Um, and I'm now really proud of where it's at. And I do half jazz, but my favourite half is a comedy section, and I sing Victoria Wood because she is my my inspiration, and I love her so much. And anyone who knows me will know this, and they've heard me sing her a million times. Um, but so I love singing her stuff. It's funny you should say this because her songs are the most wordiest songs.

SPEAKER_04: 37:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 37:47

The let's do it, the ballad of Frida and Barry. I actually had to cut because it's six, seven minutes long. So I've halved it and I still struggle. I had, or I don't know, I'll say this because it's good to admit your mistakes. But this was probably not two weeks ago. I was out there doing that set, and I've done this set for a good long while now. This song is in my body, but I don't know what happened. I just forgot the words as I was singing it. So I sang the same verse three times and just committed to it and just hoped that nobody knew. But of course they knew, obviously, they did. Um, but I'm sure they would have understood.

SPEAKER_02: 38:26

Do you know what I mean? It's one of those things here that it's such a community field, it's so relaxing. Yes. It's it's you know, that you can get away with that doing that sort of thing. What was the verse? What was the verse?

SPEAKER_06: 38:37

Yeah, it was it was the most obvious verse. She says, um, let's do it, let's do it. Um no, I forgot that I can't do it bit, because obviously it's the female that says let's do it, and the guy that says I can't do it. He says, I can't do it, I can't do it. Um, it's really not my cup of tea. I'm harassed and embarrassed. I wish you hadn't picked on me. No dramas, give me my pajamas. The only girl I'm mad about is Judith Chalmers. So I kept saying that verse, but it was obvious because I kept saying, Judith Chalmers, Judith Chalmers, and then trying to mix up the way I was saying it. And I was like, just think of a different verse, but nothing was coming to my head, and it goes so fast. By the end, I managed to figure out where I was, but not before singing three verses the same way. I can't do it tonight, and then it should be, let's do it, let's do it. I really want to run a mock. So I do, I know it. I know it like the back of my hand, but sometimes I don't know what it is in that moment. We're all human.

SPEAKER_02: 39:36

And it's there's nothing worse than when your mind goes completely blank.

SPEAKER_06: 39:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 39:39

And you're like scrambling for just anything. Right? Anything, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 39:43

Such a scramble, but it's just funny, like anyone else in their nine to five makes a mistake, and it's not under the rug, but if you're at a desk at a computer, who else is going to see it? But our job is on a mic on a stage. So if you do naturally make a mistake, everyone sees it.

SPEAKER_02: 39:59

We we did we did simply the best on Thursday night, and I have like a dwarfs sketch, which is slightly different to the one that you guys do. We we almost do like a roast of each other. And um I I was I'm gonna use the excuse that Ashley was in the show and I was counting you in for your bit. Because I'm covering James Arhorn because he rich story. And I was so I was so busy concentrating on counting him in, I just forgot to sing everything. And I just I just stood there and went, oh yeah, that was that was supposed to be me. Nice the song goes so quick that once you miss it, you missed it, you've you've just missed it and you just have to just roll with it. But actually, it was quite funny at the end, wasn't it? Yeah, we'll keep it in for next week.

SPEAKER_06: 40:43

Nice. So much natural comedy can come from that though. Like I actually love moments where you see an actor break. You know, if it's done well, it actually the audience is then in on a joke and it's funny, yeah. And it's really nice to be included in that.

SPEAKER_02: 40:57

And I think again, that's something that Potters does so well in that it is a community, so you build up that that almost that comfortability of if something goes wrong, you you know, they know you and they know what you're capable of, and it just becomes they they're in on the joke almost a little bit like that.

SPEAKER_04: 41:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 41:13

Um is there any other um anecdote stories you'd like to tell us regarding maybe mishaps, slip trips, and falls that's happened to you or a fellow team member?

SPEAKER_06: 41:26

Um, this is a well, this will change the tangent up. But what's been making me laugh a lot lately is our walking rounders that we've put into the programme.

SPEAKER_04: 41:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 41:35

You wouldn't expect hearing that it to be so funny, but every time we go out, it's a Thursday afternoon or a Sunday afternoon, we go out and there's as many of us there as possible. It's a big event, loads of guests coming down. We split everyone so there's entertainers and guests on, you know, same teams, and then there's two teams. But it's walking rounders, and never before has it been so difficult to walk. Yeah, you just want to run, but and I'm gonna dump her in it. I'm sorry, Sarah D. Sarah is the funniest person. She she came up to bat, like we'd explained the rules. She'd seen several people do it before her turn, so she knew where all the bases were, or you would think. She goes up, you know, doesn't hit the ball at first, fine, gets it on a second try, runs to first, so we are yelling at her, walk. She starts doing this really quick, like a speed walk, and you know, when like your hips are twisted from side to side, and she gets so panicked that she skips straight past second base and she goes diagonally across the circle to third base, then tries to get to fourth, but we're all yelling at her, you've missed that second, you've missed that. So she like almost backflips back around, just like is running at this point to second, all the while the fielders are getting the ball closer. She goes back to second, figure of eights round, and you know, gets stumped out in the end. But the the palaver of the thing is just so funny.

SPEAKER_02: 43:05

It's that when you're trying to when you introducing something in a walking fashion, it's so difficult because your your whole body wants to do something else.

SPEAKER_06: 43:14

Yeah, but that's what's funny is watching people's fast walks. Harley, for example, his head and body just stay so still, and his legs are doing these huge strides, but he looks like this weird cartoon character who can't move properly, and then like Dan will deliberately sort of shake his hips and you know give it a bit of sass or a waddle. Oh, yeah, a waddle, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's just it's just funny to see everyone so seriously look so silly, yeah, I guess. So that's actually been surprising how funny that is. Um, but you have mishaps every single day, really, in terms of like on stage if somebody says something wrong, or you're I I assume you have it in your theatre when you're doing your pre-show bits and bobs, you've got the red light and the green light.

SPEAKER_04: 43:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 43:59

And obviously, we can't call a show on until we have a green light.

SPEAKER_04: 44:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_06: 44:02

And there have been several instances where everything we've had planned to do in an evening has been done.

SPEAKER_04: 44:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 44:07

We've got a great audience in, they're playing bat and ball with us, and we're getting the quiz answers. Well, whatever we're doing, it's just gone so well that we look up and we're like, and now Oh, there's a red light. We're still going. You realise I now have to fill that time because the this company aren't ready. If I call on the show now, there'll be chaos. So there's been several instances where I've just started going, so I like a Bourbon biscuit. Does anybody else like a custard cream? Yeah, me too. Or you'll start going, what's on the programme, or whatever you can. And it always works out and it is always funny, and you can make jokes from it. So it's always a good thing, but the ability to improvise has definitely been something we've all worked on.

SPEAKER_02: 44:50

I had I had that experience on Friday night. I used all of my normal material, and then suddenly I still had like five minutes to go, and I found myself like looping back on myself, and it was all a bit it was it was very funny in the end. Um have you ever have you ever had a show stop? Yes. Because they're the ones that I think are i in uh infinitely more taxing on the brain because you don't know how long you're gonna be out there for sometimes. Like I sort of go out and feel and I'm waiting for that green light to come back on, but I don't know if it's gonna be five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, and it's always quite a bit of a nightmare.

SPEAKER_06: 45:24

Yeah, it that can be more stressful, especially if you've had to stop for a maybe serious reason. Yeah, definitely. There's a different tone to it, but we have several procedures in place, um, and you're liaising with stage management the whole time. So that one hopefully does not happen. No, it doesn't happen too frequently. No, no. Uh but yeah, well, that kind of the filling the time and all of our mishaps in these shows like Taskmaster and stuff like this are always funny, but it's specific to the moment, isn't it? Like you have to be there. And that's again what's nice about Potters is every week is different, so every guest gets that. Hey, this was just for you this week. You're in on this joke now.

SPEAKER_03: 46:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 46:01

And then the next people come in and hey, these jokes are for you. Like it's real personal, which is nice.

SPEAKER_03: 46:06

Yeah. Is a Bourbon biscuit your favourite biscuit?

SPEAKER_06: 46:09

Um, yes and no. You know I can't give you a solid, committed answer to these questions.

SPEAKER_03: 46:14

Biscoff biscuit.

SPEAKER_06: 46:16

No, biscoff is not at the top, I'm afraid. Oh. I can tell you that for sure.

SPEAKER_03: 46:21

Um do you want to change your answer? Because this is a Potter's podcast. Biscoff is probably not the.

SPEAKER_06: 46:30

Yeah, I will take a biscoff. They do them now in the shop where they actually have uh two layers of biscuit and a spread in the middle. Oh I will have that because that's real nice. Um, but to be honest, I prefer more of the classic Spaubans, custard creams, digestive, all of those.

SPEAKER_02: 46:44

What would you say? Well, so what was your first experience of Potters?

SPEAKER_06: 46:47

Honestly, my interview.

SPEAKER_02: 46:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 46:49

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how, we'd never stumbled across them ever. Um but obviously Five Lakes had only been around for maybe less than a year that they'd been opened.

SPEAKER_02: 46:59

When did you join?

SPEAKER_06: 47:00

What I joined February of I've been here just over two years now. So it opened of May, and then I joined that next February.

SPEAKER_03: 47:11

For the listeners, we can cut out that really, really long five-minute polls.

SPEAKER_06: 47:15

Please do, because again, dates and numbers and metrics, not for me. Um so yeah, I wasn't the original cast, I wasn't here to start with, and then joined in February and have now been here for two years. Um so that genuinely was my first experience was coming along to the interview, having a tour as part of the interview.

SPEAKER_02: 47:31

What did you think? Because it is a like Potter's in general is just a bit mad, isn't it? It's a bit crazy. How did that because obviously sort of training at Atalaya Conti, and then you sort of going out into the world and coming to somewhere like Potters must have been a bit mad.

SPEAKER_06: 47:45

Yeah. I think the scale of it confused me. I was like, why is why are all of the things all together in a way? But it also makes sense because it is that holiday resort. It is all here, so that all you need to do is come here and you've got access to everything you'd like. I think it was more see in the theatre because it was so new as it you know still is. We've got some of that highest tech in there. So that was really cool. I just also realizing that that was somebody's day job, you know, somebody was here entertaining, and you could have that as your uh permanent full-time job. That was nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 48:20

Yeah. Well, we're gonna in a moment, we're gonna put together your perfect potter's break. Okay in a few seconds. First of all, let's take let's do let's do a quiz. We like to do a bit of a a game here. And actually, Ashley, I'm gonna get you to fill out the answers for this. Right. I'm flying this. This is what we like to call the A B C quiz.

SPEAKER_03: 48:44

A B C quiz. Oh, we won't say at the same time.

SPEAKER_06: 48:46

Do you have a theme theme song for this? Little intro music?

SPEAKER_02: 48:50

Not live. Uh but this is what we call the A B C though at the same time. This is what we call the ABC quiz. Which stands for Anything but correct. Basically, anything but correct. So all you have to do is give us incorrect answers. Anything but correct. Yep. So incorrect. For example, if we were to say what colour is the sky, brown. Perfect. That's all you have to do. So it's a big one. I am understanding the concept, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 49:31

No.

SPEAKER_04: 49:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 49:33

Here we go. So your time starts now. What shape is a football? Seagull. Name something you find in the sea.

SPEAKER_06: 49:44

A piece of cake.

SPEAKER_02: 49:49

What noise does a chicken make? A chicken sounds like Name a colour in the rainbow.

SPEAKER_06: 49:59

Why is that difficult? Um marble? No, is that a colour?

SPEAKER_02: 50:03

Yeah, that I will accept. Okay. What is the first meal of the day?

SPEAKER_06: 50:06

That would be. a light bulb.

SPEAKER_02: 50:10

What do you use to write on paper?

SPEAKER_06: 50:13

I use.

SPEAKER_02: 50:16

Mmm. My eyebrows. What noise does a lion make? Who is the king? The king is.

SPEAKER_06: 50:29

This guy right here, it's actually everyone.

SPEAKER_02: 50:31

Thank you. And one last question. Uh what is the capital of England?

SPEAKER_06: 50:36

Capital of England is E.

SPEAKER_02: 50:42

Right, we can go through some of your answers. Can't let you know how you've done well, actually. It was terrible? No, that wasn't too bad. So, how many was there any incorrect answers?

SPEAKER_03: 50:52

Um, I'm well, are we ca are we is the timer important for this or are we just What do you mean? Is it now? I'm pretty sure I heard the timer go off. Yeah, never mind.

SPEAKER_02: 51:00

And then I allowed another question. I always let the timer go off and then I allow one more question. What's the point of the timer? Just just just so it doesn't go on for like 15 minutes. Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 51:09

Um so the capital of England, I would say technically is E. Yeah. That's fine. So I can't give you that one. Um definite bonus point plus one for Ashley being the king. Because I always feels a little bit biased, but I will allow it.

SPEAKER_06: 51:26

You just happen to be sat next to me, really.

SPEAKER_03: 51:28

So well, it's nice to be like that. But in any of my quizzes at Potters, I always say I encourage bribery and cheating. So if anyone's listening, when I host a quiz, if you get me a camera latte, I'd really appreciate that.

SPEAKER_02: 51:39

Um we we get a lot at Potter's Hopton on sea by just bribing guests. Or getting guests to bribe us, actually. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 51:48

That's an interesting tactic. I've only done it once with a pan de chocolate, but that was what?

SPEAKER_02: 51:52

A pan of chocolate?

SPEAKER_06: 51:53

I love panny chocolates so much.

SPEAKER_02: 51:55

You should have said we'd have bought you one from Brexit.

SPEAKER_06: 51:57

Wow, that would have made my day.

SPEAKER_02: 51:59

Did we get pan a chocolate at Hopton?

SPEAKER_03: 52:00

You had one this morning. I wasn't in Hopton. Alright. Yeah, we have them in Hopton. We've been five legs right now. Oh my god. Okay. Um marble. Is marble a colour of a rainbow?

SPEAKER_02: 52:12

Name another colour that's not in the rainbow.

SPEAKER_03: 52:15

Me? Yeah. Um ultraviolet. Technically it is, but which humans can't see it, birds can see it. So I'm not gonna give you a point for marble. That's quite cool. You can't get rainbow-coloured marble. Um for me, it wasn't even the answers. Uh Alice, without sounding rude, please, no, go on. You took a long time to answer. Right. That's right.

SPEAKER_02: 52:36

No, I'm gonna I'm gonna jump in now. How many points has has Alice got? Because don't don't criticize Alice until we talk about what you did for your seven plus the one is the eight.

SPEAKER_03: 52:47

Well, I'm also not gonna uh the question on the what was the remind me of the chicken question. Is it just the noise? What noise? What noise is the chicken, mate?

SPEAKER_06: 52:54

I did go a bit chicken, I think.

SPEAKER_02: 52:56

I'm gonna give you an opportunity to do a new chicken noise. Obviously, I felt See again I'm thinking about it.

SPEAKER_06: 53:03

I am a bit of a thinker and a planner, I hate to tell you.

SPEAKER_02: 53:05

So we're gonna give you a little bit of time.

SPEAKER_06: 53:07

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02: 53:09

I'll just put my there. Can I have the questions? Sorry, Alex, you I'm gonna just give you up at the end there, because it's not that good. Um Go on, give us a new chicken noise.

SPEAKER_06: 53:20

Yeah, yeah.

unknown: 53:23

What?

SPEAKER_06: 53:23

I just tried to do something that wouldn't be a chicken.

SPEAKER_02: 53:28

Can I can I hear it again? Because it's like a bit of a gangster.

SPEAKER_06: 53:30

Yeah, but if a chicken came up to you and went, yeah, yeah, you're confused. Yeah, no, I agree.

SPEAKER_02: 53:35

You're probably I'm gonna give you I'm gonna give you two points for that. For the inventiveness of it.

SPEAKER_03: 53:39

Okay. I can't, you just give me questions that are not the question you've asked.

SPEAKER_02: 53:42

I don't know. I did make some up, actually.

SPEAKER_03: 53:45

I've got what was a piece of K I've wrote down piece of K.

SPEAKER_02: 53:48

Oh, that was what would you find in the C genuinely in my head?

SPEAKER_06: 53:52

I was again, I'm planning ahead with this, and I was almost thinking of things as you were saying the question, and I had water in my head. And then you said C, and I was like, oh, I can't say that.

SPEAKER_02: 54:01

I'm also actually I'm gonna give you a bonus point for what shape is a football, seagull shaped. I think that was good.

SPEAKER_03: 54:06

Thank you. Uh yeah, but uh I I don't know. Uh have you ever had a birthday near the ocean or on the beach? There is there is that song by was it the the Oh Cake by the Ocean?

SPEAKER_02: 54:19

Yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 54:21

Because I I don't I It's cake by the ocean, not cake in the ocean. But I find it very hard to believe, and I'm happy for Alice for you to uh come at me with this one, that I don't believe that there's never been a piece of cake in the ocean ever. In the sea. But if you tell me that you think that's in not true, then I'll give you the point.

SPEAKER_06: 54:42

Um can I offer you a caramel latte?

SPEAKER_03: 54:46

So there's a point. Thank you. Yeah, so there's one, two, three, four, five, six. Oh, would we tell the answers now? Yeah, we'll give you the score, but we can't tell you how you've done with everyone else. Yeah, that's fine. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

SPEAKER_02: 55:02

I gave a plus one for a seagull. Then ten. Ten. And would you like to uh Alice, you've scored ten points. Would you like, Ashley, to let Alice know how you scored? No.

SPEAKER_06: 55:19

Is it less than ten?

SPEAKER_02: 55:20

Quite considerably. Possibly, actually, the worst we've ever had on the ABC quiz. I think Johnny Mack got a really low score, and I can't remember what he scored now. Six or seven? Yeah, it was it was like yeah, six, I think. Yeah. And Ashley the other day scored half of that.

SPEAKER_06: 55:39

Wow. It's okay, we've all got our strengths, and we've all got stuff we're working on.

SPEAKER_02: 55:42

So we're still trying to find Ashley's strengths.

SPEAKER_06: 55:45

I see. Thus, this arrangement. It makes sense. It makes sense.

SPEAKER_02: 55:48

What what would what would your ideal potter's break involve then?

SPEAKER_06: 55:52

Ideal Potter's break. Um I'm gonna book a weekend, Friday to Monday, and it's gonna be summertime. Um and I'm gonna start with breakfast, and I'm gonna have so many pan of chocolates, it's gonna be great.

SPEAKER_02: 56:04

It's gotta be a pan of chocolate. So many. How many is so many?

SPEAKER_06: 56:07

Well, the strategy is that you kind of try and make your way through. I mean, two is a good number, three is pushing it, because you also want to have a bit of everything else, don't you?

SPEAKER_02: 56:16

Are you and I'm not condoning this, but I know some people do it. Pan-chocola, another pan of chocolate, in a napkin.

SPEAKER_06: 56:24

This is what I was about to say. This is the strategy. You wrap up the pan of chocolas and you take them. Yeah, you take them around with you.

SPEAKER_04: 56:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 56:31

But my issue is I often forget that they are in my pocket and then, you know, I can't actually eat them anymore because they're either squashed or too dry or not edible.

SPEAKER_03: 56:42

So I've just um translated pan o chocolate from um Is it chocolate bread? Mexican to pan?

SPEAKER_06: 56:51

No, sorry, what is the translation?

SPEAKER_03: 56:53

From from I thought it was Mexican. From French. I'm sorry. Why would it be Mexican, huh? But it doesn't. Yeah, so from French to English, what does it translate as?

SPEAKER_06: 57:05

I thought pan was bread in French. So is it like bread of chocolate or something like that? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03: 57:11

Oh, I cannot accept that answer. It's actually chocolate bread.

SPEAKER_06: 57:15

It's chocolate bread. So just the other way around then.

SPEAKER_02: 57:19

Yeah, you got it wrong.

SPEAKER_06: 57:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 57:21

I feel like you've really upset him. Do you right? Somewhere along the line, I think you've really upset him. And he's taking that out on you.

SPEAKER_06: 57:27

What would you suggest I do about it?

SPEAKER_02: 57:30

I don't think there is anything you can do. I think you just we have to ride this out.

SPEAKER_06: 57:34

Okay, that's fine.

SPEAKER_02: 57:35

Chocolate breads.

SPEAKER_06: 57:36

Thank you for that information. I'll add it to a quiz.

SPEAKER_02: 57:39

Where are you taking your chocolate bread? So you've you've had three for breakfast.

SPEAKER_06: 57:43

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um well I would like to do the Limbern stretch or a morning stretch class. I'd really like to do that. And then probably a quiz. And then I wouldn't mind heading outside and doing a bit of archery, I reckon. Um I genuinely am archery trained here. A couple of us entertainers um got to do the training. So I have my little certificate and I have run a fair few sessions now, um, as and when needed. You know, it's more like we're emergency cover sort of thing. Uh genuinely love it. Genuinely love it. It's just not easy. You think just because you've got the training, you're suddenly gonna be able to hit the ball's eye every time, but that really isn't the case.

SPEAKER_02: 58:23

If you can't do teach, it's what some people say.

SPEAKER_06: 58:25

It is what they say, yeah. Are you meant to are you meant to close an eye? Um do you know what? It depends. Depends if you do have an eye dominance. So for example, weirdly, I'm right-handed, but the instructor said to me, You're left eye dominant, so you need to do it left-handed rather than right-handed. So that I could shut the correct eye that I needed to shut.

SPEAKER_03: 58:46

I have a twitch.

SPEAKER_02: 58:48

I was getting I was toying with the coming. As soon as you mentioned a dominant eye, I did look at you and just I laughed. I'm in trouble. What what would what's your recommendation for me?

SPEAKER_06: 59:00

Uh time it right.

SPEAKER_02: 59:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 59:02

Probably. You could just close both eyes and hope for the best, really.

SPEAKER_02: 59:06

Oh, wow. I think you'd probably do better. Have you ever had a go at the archery? Um for safety reasons, probably.

SPEAKER_03: 59:14

Probably not. No, I haven't actually. It is worth having a go at it. Can we go after this?

SPEAKER_06: 59:19

Um well, we'll check with activities, but sure.

SPEAKER_02: 59:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 59:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 59:23

Well is there an activity at Potters that you have never tried, but have always really wanted to?

SPEAKER_06: 59:29

Um Five Lakes, I think, I think we've tried everything. Uh however, at Hopton, you have a big swing.

SPEAKER_02: 59:38

We have the giant swing.

SPEAKER_06: 59:39

And I or the rock climbing, I guess I'd try either of those.

SPEAKER_02: 59:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 59:43

Yeah? Sounds good.

SPEAKER_02: 59:44

Would you the the giant's swing is scary.

SPEAKER_06: 59:47

Okay, that's fine.

SPEAKER_02: 59:48

I'm just I'm letting you know that now.

SPEAKER_06: 59:49

Is it?

SPEAKER_02: 59:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 59:52

Really?

SPEAKER_02: 59:52

Yeah. You the worst but and I actually weirdly talked about this with Mark Brewer on um the first episode of this season. You you're at the top and you feel like when you get released, you feel like you're gonna die. And the worst bit is you go up and you have to come back down again. And that that happens about three or four times.

SPEAKER_06: 1:00:13

I can imagine the sensation, it's that stomach turning inside out, isn't it? I'd I'd go for it. I'd I'd give it a go.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:19

So you've tried everything here then. Tried everything.

SPEAKER_06: 1:00:22

As far as I'm aware.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:00:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:24

And cycling back to um archery. So you say nothing. Carry on. Okay. So you said about um you because because you're trained. Yeah. You have a certificate. Yeah. Well done. Um so that you say about oh, to use your dominant eye. Yes. How does the guest know what their dominant eye is?

SPEAKER_06: 1:00:44

Good question.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:45

Thank you.

SPEAKER_06: 1:00:46

There is a test you can do. I think you're meant to hold your hand out in front of you. Oh, the the archery guy made me do it and it had to move my hand closest to me. It was able to.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:56

All you're doing is just touching your nose. Just tripping your arm out and then touching your nose.

SPEAKER_06: 1:01:01

But there was a way to do it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:03

And you had to repeat the alphabet backwards while touching your nose, walking in a straight line.

SPEAKER_06: 1:01:07

And now I realise it was all a joke. No, there was a way to figure it out. I couldn't I couldn't quote it to you properly now, but there is a way that, like I say, I did it on the training course, and that's how he said to me, swap hands. I know you're right-handed, but do it in your left hand because you are more this way. So it's worth trying. I always just say to people, give it a go and see what happens. Because we give them several tries with lots of arrows. So it's trial and error.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:32

I pointed to you, Alice, that you don't know the answer. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 1:01:35

Correct. But notice how we get very good at this job at talking like we maybe do know the answer.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:41

A lot of rubbish.

unknown: 1:01:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_05: 1:01:43

Honestly, yes. That's what fills that time when the red light is on.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:47

So can you do you have a natural instinct maybe just to look to look at Jack now? He's that's him there, not me. Um would you be able to tell right a left eye, right eye, what do you think is his dominant eye?

SPEAKER_06: 1:02:00

Are you right-handed?

SPEAKER_03: 1:02:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_06: 1:02:02

Right then, right eye.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:03

What are you doing for lunch on your perfect day?

SPEAKER_06: 1:02:05

What would I go for? If there was something like a lunchtime special on, I'm definitely seeing what is happening around there. Um if not, sometimes, for example, at twelve we find a bit of live music with a singer is gonna go down really well as people sort of leave to go to lunch. So I'd like to hear some singing.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:22

Um It's really good when you've got live music because people leave.

SPEAKER_06: 1:02:26

Is that because No, it's at the time of the day where people do want to start leaving for lunch.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:02:31

So it's better than say hosting a quiz and then people saying, Well, actually, I did want to go, but I need the answers. So, you know, you can it's more chill, chill.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:38

Even in a hotel, we get this mass exodus because the you know four meals a day sometimes is just not enough. Tell me about it. People love to then they're like, oh no, we've got to get our next meal in now. You get hungry between the side.

SPEAKER_06: 1:02:51

Yeah, see, they're the people that are not pre-planning and putting pan of chocolates in napkins and having them ready. I honestly would have such a big breakfast, I'm skipping lunch, I'm not eating, I'm waiting till dinner.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:02

Also, you so would you would you remove the pan of chocolate from the breakfast table and have it on your persons? Maybe like you hide the grape and have it later? Is that an option?

SPEAKER_05: 1:03:12

Yeah. That's exactly it. That's it, wrapping it in a napkin and taking it. Was he here for this bit earlier?

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:20

I missed that. Oh, that's what you did. Oh, I thought you were just I thought you were just smashing out three panels chocolate.

SPEAKER_05: 1:03:26

Are you testing me again? What is that?

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:27

Oh I think that was when I was googling chocolate bread. That would have been.

SPEAKER_06: 1:03:33

Yeah, sorry, no, that's the strategy. Oh, I apologize. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:36

I see.

SPEAKER_06: 1:03:37

And that's how I wrangled that. Earlier on, we were talking about getting the drinks free. I made a point in a quiz one day, and I did not expect anyone to listen to me, but I said, Oh, I love panty chocolates, and I often wrap them up in napkins, yada yada. Oh, do you get them a breakfast? Oh, you're really lucky. And then the next day, about six people come up to me and go, Oh, we brought you this, and I couldn't believe it.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:55

It is the perfect way to get things, is just subtly mention it. We're gonna I'm gonna break them, yeah. I'm gonna tell people this is what we do. We go, ah. We'd really like that. Um Ferrari. Yeah. I've I've tried it. I've tried it actually. You never know. I've tried it on this podcast before. Um we've got guests are wonderful. And they have I've received many a chocolate orange, which is probably one of my weaknesses. Um and we we had a feature before, we've not brought it back yet for this season, but Gratitude Corner, where people used to bring us things in and say thank you. Would you like to say thank you right now to the guest who gave you a pano chocolat in Gratitude Corner? Let's try it again. Three, two, one. Gratitude corner.

SPEAKER_06: 1:04:44

That was good. Um honestly, there was about eight of them that day.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:47

Eight pana chocolates.

SPEAKER_06: 1:04:48

This is what I mean, this is why I was so shocked because suddenly there I was, no pano chocolas, and then I had eight of them. So thank you to anyone who did bring me one. That was very kind of you.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:59

But Alice is grateful for you. We've all been there. I've mentioned about having a drink and then like seven teas turn up at once. And you're like, oh no, I don't want to do any of these things. They keep getting brought to the front of the stage, and I'm like, yeah, thank you.

SPEAKER_03: 1:05:15

Have you ever had any other gifts from guests or little?

SPEAKER_06: 1:05:18

Uh a couple of packs of biscuits and Auburn's. I think they were Jammy Dodgers actually. Because yeah, I was on a jammy dodger high at that time.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:27

Do you want to put it out there now? Your your all-time favourite biscuit that if a guest is listening to this, if we've got anyone listening to this, and then they're coming to Five Lakes soon.

SPEAKER_06: 1:05:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:38

And then you bring a pack of biscuits. What biscuits do you want?

SPEAKER_06: 1:05:41

Again, you're pigeonholing me. I can't guarantee you one choice of biscuit here. Just get me that variety pack.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:47

A big box in London. Okay.

SPEAKER_05: 1:05:52

They literally go and buy one of those 10 quid boxes of variety packs.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:56

We've put it out there now. We've put it out there.

SPEAKER_05: 1:05:58

You've got to go big or go home, so there we go.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:00

That's what I've said. Alice would like a variety pack of biscuits.

SPEAKER_06: 1:06:03

Yes. Amazing. Amazing.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:05

Oh, brilliant. You're you're rounding off the end of your day at Potters, and what are you doing before obviously getting ready for your evening meal, the show? What's what's your what's your what are you doing in that moment? You're relaxing, you're finishing off activities, you're going to the gym, what's your what are you doing?

SPEAKER_06: 1:06:21

I do like the gym, to be fair. I don't know if I were gym on holiday. Hard to say.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:26

Or just relax by the pool.

SPEAKER_06: 1:06:28

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I'm great at being still in that sense for that long.

SPEAKER_00: 1:06:33

No.

SPEAKER_06: 1:06:34

Um so it might be a walk, it might be the gym, I might be relaxing in a sense of like just taking my time to get ready. Because you will, you want to change your outfit and just refreshing a bit for the evening. And then I I'm an early bird, so I'd probably like to make sure I'm I'm heading down, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:50

What are you drinking?

SPEAKER_06: 1:06:51

Uh if it's alcoholic, I don't mind a rum and coke, I don't mind a gin. But equally, I'm not a big drinker, so I really don't mind staying on a soft drink or a hot chocolate or anything like that. And the season, yeah. We're getting the understanding.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:09

Um let's go back to lunchtime special. What's your favourite one?

SPEAKER_06: 1:07:13

What again is different here at Five Lakes. We don't quite have the specials as you have them.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:18

I never said you did.

SPEAKER_06: 1:07:19

No, fine, but I guess when Mark Brewer's come down here for his weekend, I've had a glimpse as to what the special is or what it was supposed to be. Like look, I couldn't tell you what happened. For that hour, I was like so entertained but also so confused all at the same time. And I was in it. I was meant to be one of the participants, and we were standing, and there was there was like the national anthem of a country, and if I didn't stand, I lost a point, and then there was various games, and I was just don't learn from the I yeah, no, no.

SPEAKER_02: 1:07:51

I I am partly Mark Brewer's full-time carer.

SPEAKER_06: 1:07:55

I see.

SPEAKER_02: 1:07:55

And obviously, I had to work at Hopton on C during those weekends, so who knows what happened when they're let loose. How is the Mark Brewer weekend not just the lunch or a special?

SPEAKER_06: 1:08:05

It's just it's chaotic in the best way. Chaotic in the best way. But um everyone is so happy over that weekend, and obviously, like they are there to see Mark and so that's just what's brilliant, is everybody's up for it, everybody gets involved. Um and you know, it's equally great to sit back and watch it and join in with the atmosphere, but especially if you need people to come up and you want the guest involvement, yeah, then it is just full on that weekend, really full on.

SPEAKER_04: 1:08:32

I can imagine.

SPEAKER_06: 1:08:33

But yeah, that's really nice to see.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:34

So I would probably opt to see more of that on my break with like the team I have here and then maybe a mishmash and it's it's uh again, it's coming back to that part of the community of getting everybody together. And we don't do that enough, really. We should we should work on that a little bit more.

SPEAKER_06: 1:08:49

Because equally, I'd love to bring some of my tasks and challenge all of you with them.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:54

I would love you to come down to Hopton and run a taskmaster.

SPEAKER_06: 1:08:56

Oh, I'd love that so much.

SPEAKER_05: 1:08:59

We shall have to one of my favourite things to do.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:01

We'll get you down at Hopton at some point. We'll do a taskmaster sort of esque.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:06

Is there a is there a uh a round that you can kind of maybe just because not many people are listening right now, that you could just reinject, that you could give us a heads up so maybe we could have advantage over our other teammates. What right now? We can prepare.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:19

Yeah, it's in just yeah, well, not to do the challenge now, but it's in you know what what challenge would you give us if you came down to Hopkins that we can prepare for? That we could be allowed.

SPEAKER_06: 1:09:28

I'm again, I wouldn't want you to prepare because the whole idea is that you know, no and nobody coming out ever knows what I've planned. They change the task up weekly.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:35

Like three or four like selection boxes of biscuits. So this is the bribery you were talking about earlier. How does it feel?

SPEAKER_06: 1:09:42

Um I'll be honest, I I don't really go in for the cheating. I'll I'll say it. My quizzes, I run them as they are, and that's that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:50

Maybe that is the difference between Hopted and Firefox, because we cheat all the time.

SPEAKER_06: 1:09:54

I tell you what.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:54

No, no, no, no. We play an honest game.

SPEAKER_06: 1:09:57

Look, there's one task that you can practice right here, right now. Oh. That then you might do. Right now. Right now. Yes. You've got to close your mouth, you're not allowed to open your mouth, but you've got to scream the loudest with your mouth closed.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:08

I thought you were gonna say close your mouth. Keep it closed, is it? And that's the challenge.

SPEAKER_06: 1:10:13

I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:14

It doesn't make for a good podcast. Imagine.

SPEAKER_06: 1:10:17

No, no, you scream the loudest with your mouth closed.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:19

Would you like to go first?

SPEAKER_06: 1:10:19

This is often a tie break that we do.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:21

Uh me?

SPEAKER_06: 1:10:22

Yeah, go on.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:23

Okay. So I've got me louder than the screams in my head already, yeah?

SPEAKER_05: 1:10:27

Oh, correct, yeah. Okay.

unknown: 1:10:28

Oh, no.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:30

You get nervous. No. Yeah, because you think okay, so okay, I've got to get rid of all the air in my mouth first to then allow the scream, to happen.

SPEAKER_06: 1:10:36

However, however you want to do it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:38

Any any advice, any tips for me?

SPEAKER_06: 1:10:39

Don't overthink it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:41

It's too late for that.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:45

Quite happy. Yeah, it was quite it actually went up quite a bit on the thing.

SPEAKER_05: 1:10:50

Here we go.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:53

You can't you can't keep your mouth cut. It's the it's the Jack, don't overthink it. No. I think I won. Oh, you might have done, actually. Alice?

SPEAKER_05: 1:11:05

Yeah, actually, definitely won. Oh sorry, Jack.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:08

That was that was all right, but I'm gonna practice that.

SPEAKER_06: 1:11:11

But now you can. Yeah, now you now you can practice that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:14

We should get everybody else practice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're running out of time. We're running out of time.

SPEAKER_03: 1:11:18

But um Well it's been nice, thank you very much.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:20

Not yet, not yet, no. What uh so what show are you watching? Your perfect potter's break. What's your all-time favourite show in the Glade theatre?

SPEAKER_06: 1:11:30

Um I really it's an old show, but I really used to like lights camera action. Really enjoyed that. That being said, the new boogie nights that they're doing after the show, as the come down dance of us, I think has some amazing choices. So I really like the songs in that one. Um but maybe I'd choose to see like the new show that's coming in as well soon. That would be fun.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:50

Cabaret?

SPEAKER_06: 1:11:51

Yes, the cabaret club.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:53

So are you in that as well? I think yeah, yeah, I thought I saw it. Yeah. What are you looking because actually this will be out when Oh the episode's out there? The episode will be out after the show is up. Okay, great. Especially for you guys, actually. You're you're going your show's going up before us. Um what are you most looking forward to with that show?

SPEAKER_06: 1:12:11

I like how different it is, so I'm excited that we are kind of pushing a boundary in a sense of like it is a completely different night, but also the whole night will feel like the theme rather than separate entertainment at different times. It's all in theme, which we haven't really tried before. So that'll be exciting. Um, and I really like the comedy bits that we're getting to do, uh, and obviously the people I'm getting to do it with is really fun. So yeah, just excited to sort of have fun with it in the set and even often on C.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:44

Uh we were talking about this the other day with James and other people, and yeah, it's it's we're really looking forward to it because it it's always great when we are involved in the shows as well, but having it sort of um flow like that and the the bits that we're doing this time round, really looking forward to that.

SPEAKER_04: 1:12:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:58

In a moment, we're gonna give you some quick questions. Okay. But we're gonna start this off with something new because um what I'm asking what we're getting guests of the podcast to do is to leave a question for a future guest of the podcast. It gets confusing when you say guest, because I'm talking about guest on the podcast, not guest on resort. But so you don't know yet who is gonna ask your question. I'm gonna ask you to pick a number and let me find my uh questions. Between one and ten. One and seven. Between one and seven. Or ten, actually.

SPEAKER_03: 1:13:32

Between one and ten.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:33

Nine. I've got nine.

SPEAKER_06: 1:13:34

Between one and nine. Shall I just go with seven?

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:36

Go for seven.

SPEAKER_06: 1:13:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:37

Okay. And then we'll sort of sort it down. Yeah, that's that got that.

SPEAKER_06: 1:13:40

That's alright.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:40

Um so you're gonna find out who asked your question, okay, and then you've got to answer it.

SPEAKER_04: 1:13:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 1:13:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:47

So um actually you'll recognise hopefully who this is. Um, and then afterwards you leave a question for a future guest of the podcast. So let me get that up and we'll put this in properly in post-production. But here we go.

SPEAKER_00: 1:14:02

Hi, yeah, I'm Lucy Hunt, and my question is what is your most embarrassing moment on or off stage?

SPEAKER_02: 1:14:12

So Lucy Hunt, who actually formerly of Hopton on C and now down with you at Fireflex. Um, what is your most embarrassing moment on or off stage?

SPEAKER_06: 1:14:22

I have already said a couple already, to be honest. Can I can I choose a secondhand embarrassment story?

SPEAKER_02: 1:14:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:14:30

Dob someone else in. Great, because I get a lot of secondhand embarrassment. Even watching TV, I will be embarrassed. And my dad, as great a soul as he is, is embarrassing. So we are at the going to America and they have the big security gates, and there's somebody checking your passport, and he is this jacked man, really big, strong guy, and he sort of stops us. There's five of us, so he's checking each of our passports, and then sort of goes, like, can I ask, why are you coming to America, please? And it's really well, it's really serious, really serious. My dad just turns around and goes, I'm going to Disneyland. And I was like, No, no, please, no. And the guy stops, looks up at him and goes, Okay. And then he says, And do you have any um food or you know things on you that you shouldn't be bringing into the country? Chocolate bread. Because you know, we can arrest you if you're bringing in something that's not American, and we'd be like, No, no, no, no, no. And then we walk away, and whilst the guy is still in our view, dad pulls out a muffin that he'd had the whole time and was like, I'm gonna bring this muffin in. So I was very embarrassing. So little things like that.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:36

I'll say that as a Does your dad often embarrass you, or has he? He doesn't mean to, but yes.

SPEAKER_06: 1:15:41

Yeah, absolutely, yes.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:42

It was a wonderful Mickey Mouse impression that your dad did.

SPEAKER_06: 1:15:45

But again, and yeah, he did, and he didn't need to do the voice because the man was clearly very serious, but he still tried the voice. So I will take that. I know it's not my first hand embarrassment, but I will take it as a second hand embarrassment as too.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:57

But you can put all your you know, electronics in there, your liquids, your muffins, just all in the colour.

SPEAKER_06: 1:16:01

Just all, yeah. Make sure those muffins are organised. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02: 1:16:04

Couple more questions.

SPEAKER_06: 1:16:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 1:16:06

If you were to put a song in the all-exclusive playlist, any song, what would your song be?

SPEAKER_06: 1:16:12

I'm gonna choose You're the voice by John Farnham.

SPEAKER_02: 1:16:16

How how does that go?

SPEAKER_06: 1:16:17

You're the voice, try and understand it. Make a noise and make it clear. It's an 80s power bite. It's such a feel-good song.

SPEAKER_02: 1:16:24

And why that song?

SPEAKER_06: 1:16:25

Again, it just makes you feel like you could do anything, I reckon.

SPEAKER_02: 1:16:28

Is there anything you want to you know let off your shoulders? You know, you unwind a bit about like we want to welcome you into a little new feature we want to sort of test the waters on, and welcome you into the Potter's Zen Garden. Unwind, is there anything that you want to rant about? Get off your chest as we waft you with some pamphlets glass.

SPEAKER_06: 1:16:59

Oh, I've got a hay fever actually, so thanks.

SPEAKER_02: 1:17:02

Is there anything that, you know, really grinds your gears? For example, Ashley, what would you say there's the thing that really just annoys you?

SPEAKER_03: 1:17:10

Really annoys me when I um go for breakfast and I've made a mess, and I maybe I need a napkin and there are no napkins left at the breakfast table. And somebody's stolen all the pan of chocolate?

unknown: 1:17:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:17:20

So related, sorry, to here. No, no, not necessarily.

SPEAKER_02: 1:17:24

What do you want to really just let it out of? Yeah, okay. We're gonna give you a moment, we're gonna step back from the microphone, you let out of your, you know, anything, any frustrations you have in your life after it. And then together, together, we'll enter the Zen garden and feel just so much more relaxed.

SPEAKER_06: 1:17:41

Okay. Right. I uh just want people to indicate, to be honest, when they're driving. I think it's really irritating when I'm waiting for you to take your exit at roundabout and you decide I'm not gonna indicate. And I could have gone, that was my gap, but you chose not to indicate. Indicating is so easy to do, you just flip a tiny little switch right there by your hand, it's already there, it's on the wheel, flip the indicator, and then I know where you're going. It's health and safety, it's important for driving on the roads, and I just don't understand why people don't indicate. I'll get so confused, and it's not safe, and it's really annoying, and a little bit selfish. If I'm being really honest, sometimes if you've forgotten in all honesty, then that's okay. But let's be better as a society, let's be better as drivers, and let's indicate on the roads.

SPEAKER_02: 1:18:32

And now, all together, we'll say, please indicate. Three, two, one, please. Please indicate. We'll take a moment and we'll step in to the Potter Zen Garden. How do you feel now you're in the Zen Garden?

SPEAKER_06: 1:18:53

Surprisingly, Zen.

SPEAKER_02: 1:18:55

Does it how do you feel like you've, you know, let it out now? Do you feel feel better for that?

SPEAKER_06: 1:19:00

Yeah, it's nice to give it some to address it in the world and not just in my head, you know.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:05

No, that's what it was that's what the Potter Zen Garden is all about, just to let it all out.

SPEAKER_06: 1:19:10

Yes.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:12

We're out of the garden. We're gonna give you some quick fire questions.

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:16

Um we know I'm great at these. Yes.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:18

Don't worry about answering quickly. Okay. Just answer the first thing that comes into your head. Okay. If your house was on fire, what would you save? All your family are safe.

SPEAKER_06: 1:19:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:31

But what would what's the one thing that you'd say from a house fire? Your house fire?

SPEAKER_06: 1:19:36

My Nintendo Switch, I think.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:38

Your Nintendo Switch. Yeah. What are you playing on Nintendo Switch?

SPEAKER_06: 1:19:40

Legend of Zelda. It's the best game.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:42

I've never played it, but always wanted to.

SPEAKER_06: 1:19:44

Oh, you're missing out.

unknown: 1:19:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:19:46

There's so many good ones as well. But I think I would be so gutted if the progress I'd made on those games was lost. Yeah. You could buy a new Switch, yeah, you could buy the new game, but you're having to start from the beginning, and that's a commitment. It is a commitment, and I already struggle with commitment, juggling everything else to sit down and play the Switch. Um, so it might seem a bit material of me.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:06

No, but you've got memories in there.

SPEAKER_06: 1:20:07

Yeah, because I could have chosen a photo album or something like that, but I didn't. Or I could have chosen cloves to sort of support my life. I could have chosen, you know, something of that my family could actually maybe sell so that we could get our lives back in order after the house has been burnt down, but I was going to choose my switch, to be honest.

SPEAKER_03: 1:20:25

You've made your decision, and that's I'm happy that you've stuck with that. If you could swap lives with a celebrity, who would it be for a day?

SPEAKER_06: 1:20:33

Are they alive or dead?

SPEAKER_03: 1:20:35

Well, if they're dead, it'll be a bit.

SPEAKER_06: 1:20:38

But like, can it be at a time when they were alive? We'll allow it. Because I probably would say Victoria Wood, to be honest. I'd just love to have seen what her day was like, especially like on Dinner Ladies and Filming Dinner Ladies.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:50

My auntie, I I know a lot about well, a lot of Victoria Woods stuff because my auntie did like a full tribute show to her. That's amazing. She did her own She did Victoria Woods stuff and her own musical comedy bits intertwined within that. So I'll I'll send you some of that because actually you'll probably really appreciate that. Bits and pieces. If you were a biscuit, what biscuit would you be? Oh, yes, you're you're the selection box. You're in the selection which biscuit are you?

SPEAKER_06: 1:21:16

Um I'm gonna say a Maryland cookie.

SPEAKER_02: 1:21:19

You actually made the decision quite quickly. I thought we were.

SPEAKER_06: 1:21:21

Yeah, well this helps because it's what biscuit are you, not what's your favourite biscuit to eat.

SPEAKER_03: 1:21:25

Okay, fair. So what yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:21:27

So I've Maryland cookie because they're never disappointing, I think. And I would hope I was never disappointing. Um and I like that they are they're the perfect size. You can eat a lot of them and not feel too sick. Bit of chocolate in there, so a bit of sweetness.

unknown: 1:21:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:21:43

Good answer. Good answer. Very quickly, last couple of questions. What was the last thing you impulse bought?

SPEAKER_06: 1:21:50

Oh, the last thing I impulse bought. Oh, that's a very good question. Is it gonna be food related, Alice? It probably is. Can it be a food-related impulse body or more of a material object?

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:04

What was the last thing you went? I don't need that. Don't need that, but I'm just gonna get it.

SPEAKER_06: 1:22:08

Yeah, but this is every day I kind of convince myself that I deserve a little treat. So if I am in town, I like to have a beverage of some sort.

SPEAKER_04: 1:22:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:22:15

She says, looking at three that I'm a bit drunk. Um but I really am obsessed with matcha at the minute, so I will deliberately go out of my way to find somewhere that does an iced matcha. And they are ridiculous, they're like five or six pounds, but I will spend that. And for no reason, I don't need it. I could have gone home, I could have made one, I could have just had water. Uh, but that is definitely I bought that yesterday. Did I need it? Nope. But I wanted it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:22:36

So you want the matcha hype. Really bad stuff that tastes with cardboards.

SPEAKER_06: 1:22:41

It does not taste a cardboard. You haven't had a good one in that case.

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:45

What was the last thing you put into Google? And you can check if you want to.

SPEAKER_06: 1:22:50

I think it genuinely was the weather.

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:52

The weather. The weather, because I to decide what drink you want.

SPEAKER_06: 1:22:55

To just to decide what drink I want, but also obviously our entertainment has to be either inside or outside, weather dependent, and I like to see at the start of every day, okay, I've got a quiz outside, great. Do I have pictures in that quiz? Do I need to change the quiz to be outside? That sort of getting ahead of my day type thing.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:10

Work basically.

SPEAKER_06: 1:23:11

It's organised, I just am. It's just the way to be.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:14

If you were given an elephant and you can't sell it or give it away, what would you do with it?

SPEAKER_06: 1:23:20

I can't sell it, I can't give it away. Well, he's just part of the family, then I guess, isn't he? So I guess I'm moving house, I'm building an elephant sanctuary in the back garden, and we are slowly becoming best friends. Because they're meant they have very good brains, elephants do, don't they?

SPEAKER_03: 1:23:36

I never forget.

SPEAKER_06: 1:23:38

So, in that case, I'm gonna get this guy on my side, and then one day we're gonna join a parade, and we'll be the talk of the town, and then we'll get on a chat show, and then we'll become a duo, and we'll have a comedy act on TV, and then in our retirement, we'll sing like old tunes together, and we'll go to Africa and give him a proper send off.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:02

I feel like that's the most in-depth we've ever had an answer to that, and I really loved every moment of it. One more question. If you could put anything in the all-exclusive time capsule, what would you put? And uh any object, anything, any moment, any feeling, anything at all that you want to put in the all-exclusive time capsule, would it be? What would it be?

SPEAKER_06: 1:24:22

That is a good question. I think I would like it to be Potters themed, because it's nice to remember and that's the nature of the thing. But what specifically from Potters would be a good choice?

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:32

I want people to put something in the you know, a collection of objects and then or things, or mo you like for you, you put a moment and that's really nice. What did I put? I think you put your wedding in there.

SPEAKER_06: 1:24:40

What? Your wedding. What do you mean though? Like the whole day? No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:47

You just put the feeling of um watching your wife walk down the aisle.

SPEAKER_03: 1:24:50

I might change that answer then.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:51

That's a really chance.

SPEAKER_03: 1:24:53

It's very sickly sweet, but it's lovely. Like a pan au chocolat.

SPEAKER_06: 1:24:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:57

Would you put a pan au chocolat?

SPEAKER_06: 1:24:59

Actually, maybe that's a really good choice.

SPEAKER_02: 1:25:01

Wrapped in a nice little napkin, how many?

SPEAKER_06: 1:25:04

Three. But they would have to be like magic, so they're preserved, so that whoever digs it up in years to come can have the taste of a fresh panu chocolate.

SPEAKER_02: 1:25:13

I do we usually ask actually another question. If you were stuck on a desert island with any Potter's team member, who would it be and why?

SPEAKER_06: 1:25:22

Um I genuinely love everybody here, so that's a very difficult question. But I'd have to be strategic about my answer, so sorry, Sarah, but it's definitely not you. Um as much as we'd have a laugh, we wouldn't live long. Is it because of her walk? Is it because of her run? Oh yeah. Maybe. Um I think the best person would either be Chloe Rose or Emily Keneally.

SPEAKER_04: 1:25:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 1:25:43

Um I know I'd get on with Emily for the most time, but Chloe's very smart, so she'd probably and she's so organized. So I reckon she'd get us out of there in a pinch and then I could be reunited with everyone anyway.

SPEAKER_02: 1:25:54

Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. For the all-exclusive podcast. Um very quickly, before we go, would you like to give us another impression of a cow?

SPEAKER_06: 1:26:04

Yeah. Which accent, though?

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:06

Go on. Uh actually pick an accent. Scottish. Oh. I did ask you and then I thought I didn't trust you. No, thank you.

SPEAKER_03: 1:26:14

What accent would you like? Let's go for Scottish.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:16

Yeah. Good good choice.

SPEAKER_06: 1:26:20

Would you go like Scottish? Meh. No, that's the same as the one I've already done. Maybe he'd be lower. Meh. A Scottish cow. I've never really done Scottish.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:34

That was good. Scott. One more time.

SPEAKER_06: 1:26:36

Scottish cow. Maybe he'd be like, meh meh. He'd do two of them.

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:41

Very quickly, give us your question for another guest.

SPEAKER_06: 1:26:44

SPEAKER_02: 1:26:53

Perfect. Thank you very much. There we go. There was Alice down at Five Lakes. How did you find that episode? Uh amazing. I thought she was she was wonderful, full of energy. She's a lot of fun actually, and um obviously doesn't really know how to use tape measures and things like that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:27:09

No, there were yeah, I I think you I think what a podcast does is kind of open up people's insecurities in a beautiful something we're gonna find out on future episodes when we talk to some other members of uh Five Lakes as well.

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:26

Yeah. What would you say your biggest insecurity is then? Mine. Yeah. Um we're really opening up those insecurities. What's your biggest insecurity?

SPEAKER_03: 1:27:33

Um I think Is it the Twitch? Uh what? What Twitch? Um I think what the hair?

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:39

SPEAKER_02: 1:27:58

Um, yeah, it was very good. What do you think about the whole fizzy drink situation? Or no, crunch was it crunchy? Crunchy. Crunchy drink situation.
