Chris [00:00:25]:
Hey, hello,
Sam [00:00:28]:
good day. That’s a very cheery hello. So, second podcast, so, gotta head around all this recording equipment I think yeah, we’ll talk about getting you hit again around recording equipment We got to talk about this because we’ve just come back from a proper studio You know I’m not saying that my garage here with your little mixing table isn’t a proper studio I just want to paint a picture here. There’s 2 couches. We’re facing each other There’s a little tiny coffee table in front of me with the laptop running next to me is your motorbike There’s clothes hanging everywhere. It’s like some sort of Chinese laundry going on, and yeah, but we did actually end up in a proper studio earlier to do a foley work for… Red on the Green. Yes, which is a Tropfest film that you’re involved with. Yep. And initially the studio we booked was very very high-tech.
Chris [00:01:23]:
Oh my god, what got me is Adam was talking to me, Adam’s the director of film, I’m the producer, Adam was talking to me and I went, oh, did you see that? Because she clicked a mouse and all the buttons on the desk moved. And you know, you’ve got these, you know, 1 of these huge audio desks with all that crap on it. And I was like, wow, that’s freaky. We couldn’t figure out how to use it. Even the person came in that’s supposed to know how to work it came in and sort of fluffed around and she managed to get the computers working, which was something, but we didn’t get much further than that. And we found out that we could actually use the much simpler studio down the hall, which was great. Which was just all software based. Yeah. But yeah, it was still a studio. We had to be in the other room we’re behind glass 1 of us Sam was on the headphones getting instructions from the control room as to what we wanted for Foley so if you don’t know what foley is every time somebody gets smacked in the face somebody’s got to make that noise because you don’t pick it up when you’re actually doing the filming not that we have a lot of smacking in the face but we had a glass eye rolling on the ground and we had knuckle cracking I should have done that yes But unfortunately I did that a little early and prematurely cracked my knuckles. There’s probably a name for that condition somewhere. I don’t know what it is. But someone somewhere is trying to market that right now. So there’s 3 of us standing around a microphone with little bits of carrot, breaking carrot to simulate the cracking of knuckles. It
Sam [00:02:58]:
was an interesting experience. It is a very interesting experience. I haven’t done that before and yeah so we sort of have to think outside of the box so it’s like this thing has to hit this thing and you’re like okay when you do that sound it doesn’t sound right so you need you know like a movie effects sound so you’ve got to do it differently
Chris [00:03:18]:
yeah so we had some of the more interesting ones we had a couple of bodies falling so I was doing dive rolls and frickin all sorts of stuff way more strenuous than I thought it was going to be you know when I went in there I thought it would be rolling balls around and stuff which is a little bit of what we had to do. Yeah well you have to do very exaggerated movements to get the sound remember nothing’s being filmed
Sam [00:03:43]:
only the audio is being recorded to match up to what’s on the film later on. So yeah, no, definitely an experience. And fricking hilarious. Yeah, it was pretty good. Oh, geez. Yeah, it was pretty fun.
Chris [00:03:59]:
Anyway, so what are we talking about on this podcast? We haven’t discussed this, we need to get organised. Nah, organisation.
Sam [00:04:09]:
Are you going to throw that out the window? Yeah, just throw that out of the window. Oh, okay. The big thing on social media at the moment, we talked about this in the car, 2 things, one’s the chocolate milk from Whittaker’s and Lewis Road Creamery. I haven’t tried it and I am 1 of those people that love trying new products as soon as they come out but the hype’s just so huge here. I’ve got guards standing at supermarkets making sure people only get their 1 bottle and they have to update their website of exactly when the deliveries are. At what point does this get too much? I don’t know, probably when they’re following the vehicles so they don’t get robbed. I don’t know. But the bottles are selling on Trade Me, $30 a bottle. People are making money and exploiting other people’s weirdness. I don’t know. And the other random… All I can think is that’s the best marketing ever.
Chris [00:05:04]:
I mean, that’s what you want to do if you’re marketing a product. You want everybody talking about it. My flatmate who knows nothing about anything, like she’s just not switched on to what’s happening in the world, if you like. She knows about it and she’s going, oh, she would told me about the guard thing by the way, because I didn’t. Yeah, it’s crazy. So definitely,
Sam [00:05:24]:
the marketing is amazing. I don’t think they realized the demand was going to be that huge. So It’ll be interesting to see, they’re talking about possibly bringing out new flavours later on once they fix their demand for the chocolate milk. So it’ll be a bit interesting. But by then, will the demand still be there? I think a lot of the marketing hype and a lot of the craziness is because it’s limited. If it was unlimited it would have gone crazy for the first week and then it would have just died down and it would have been an expensive bottle of chocolate milk right next to the primo.
Chris [00:06:00]:
Yeah pretty much. So… Do they still have ZAP? No. ZAP went out like 20 years ago. Yeah
Sam [00:06:17]:
if you’ve been checking out anything you’ll notice everyone’s going on about Renee Zellweger and her crazy new look. I assume it’s the same person but it doesn’t look like the same person She must have had some sort of
Chris [00:06:31]:
facial reconstruction, although she’s not admitting that, but you really need to check out this photo. I’m going to have to look at it because I haven’t been doing much on the social media for the last week or so. I’ve just been far too busy, which is really sad because normally I’m
Sam [00:06:46]:
on there quite a bit but yeah. Oh that’s the thing, social media and the internet isn’t the be-all and end-all of being alive and doing stuff so you know what you have to realize and what I do is if you need to turn it off, just turn it off, walk away. And if you can’t, then maybe you’ve got a problem. I don’t know, talk to someone. Not someone on the internet.
Chris [00:07:12]:
Yeah, no, I haven’t
Sam [00:07:15]:
been missing it or anything like that it’s just yeah well that’s the thing I’ll go through um at the moment I’m reasonably active on twitter but you know sometimes you just have a whole month or whatever you just don’t want to can’t be bothered talking to anyone and you’re not really missing out on anything uh anything really important someone will get hold of you yeah absolutely
Chris [00:07:32]:
we both look to the to the door because you hear some steps yeah yeah someone’s gonna come in a minute go what are you doing yeah no that’s all right as long as she doesn’t put the washing machine on which happens to be in my garage
Sam [00:07:45]:
yeah it’s always a problem when you’re setting up a podcast in general. Be aware of when the washing machine needs to be used.
Chris [00:07:54]:
Or don’t set it up next to the washing machine. I’m pretty sure
Sam [00:07:57]:
I read that online somewhere. I don’t know. Yeah.
Chris [00:08:00]:
So, tell us about… So, did you talk… We talked about Spark. No, we haven’t
Sam [00:08:09]:
spoken about Spark. We spoke about the
Chris [00:08:12]:
Marketing Summit last time. Right, okay. So do you want to talk, tell me about Spark? Or shall I explain what it is first? You can explain what it is and then I’ll tell you what it was like. So I used to work for a company in New Zealand called Telecom New Zealand, who don’t exist as such anymore. They’re now named Spark. And before I left, I was there for a long time I was involved with helping run the Telecom 1 Innovation Unconference and we used to get about a third of technical people in telecom a third of non technical people in telecom and a third of non telecom at all and they were just really cool people real out there thinkers you know happy to talk about anything and really engaging and so we get together for a weekend company pays for the food and the booze and stuff like that, and basically have a ball. So I brought Sam along last year to the telecom 1, and then because I’ve left, I wasn’t invited this year to Spark
Sam [00:09:15]:
Innovation Unconference, I’m so upset. But no, I- But for some reason, someone, they decided to invite me again so what could I do I better I went along so so was it good yeah it was really good there was less people than that was expected or invited and to paint the picture here I do have to state it’s held at a high school. We use their classrooms, all the meals are there, and you can sleep in a tent on the field, you can sleep Marae styles in the library, and that’s what I did this year. Which is Marae styles, for those that don’t know, is lying on the floor with a mattress, with a sleeping bag. Yeah, yeah. All of you. So it’s like an indoor camping, but, you know, with 50 people in there. And, or some people went away to a motel, I think, and came back.
Chris [00:10:02]:
You lose a bit out of it. I think so.
Sam [00:10:05]:
And it was a shame that some people didn’t come because it was held there. It’s an unconference which means it’s not a traditional thing.
Chris [00:10:14]:
Unconference, there’s no agenda. The agenda is made on the fly, on the day, and you can sort of switch around. It’s hard to explain. And as a trainer, I was a corporate trainer at Telecom, when I first heard about it, I was like, no, that won’t work. Yeah, it’s definitely… It works amazingly well. Oh, yeah, big, big company, people wouldn’t understand it. So it was really, really cool.
Sam [00:10:36]:
A lot of interesting people. There was, the name escapes me and that’s not good, I think it was Melanie. Melanie was there with her still and… A still. And yeah, well she wasn’t using the still, she just brought it to show us. But she had a wide selection of moonshine. So that was pretty good. There was bacon, bourbon, apple pie moonshine, which was amazing. And a whole bunch of different other things and learned all about how to actually how to make it. Tim was there from MindKits and MindKits if you don’t know supplies robotics and electronics and 3d printing equipment to people and is really involved in the education scene at the moment and he’s really great I’ve followed him a while on Twitter so it was great to meet him and he had a cool little quadrocopter slash drone it was very little and it had a camp HD camera in it and he was flying it around inside and it was really cool so when you say little like a foot long sort of thing oh it was probably 20 centimeters square 20 centimeters yeah and he flew in the kitchen and around the place and it was I think he said it was about 120 bucks, and it came with the controller and everything, and it had a pro mode and a normal mode, and the normal mode sort of did all the turning and stuff, so it wasn’t so sharp, and then the pro mode let you do flips and, you know, crashing into the wall and stuff. So that was all good and there was Ben and I cannot for the life of me remember what the company was that Ben worked for. But when I first met him he said he made rubber bands with Bluetooth in them. So that was a bit crazy And anyway, when you get more into it, he’s actually the CEO of an amazing company. They have these elastic sort of straps with a monitor on the end that talks to your cell phone. And then that stuff’s used medical, rehabilitation, physio, actually anything anyone wants and they will build the platform to get the data that you want from his rubber bands with Bluetooth. They’re worldwide, they’ve got people working on it all around the world. So it measures when things stretch, how far they stretch? Yeah, yeah. So you put it on your leg or whatever to do the muscles so you can see how many times you flex your abs or what? Well, the example he had was just a straight piece and as he pulled it, a bar moved on his phone. And that was it in the simplest form but all these companies will come back to him and say we want to be able to record whatever and then yeah they they build an app for the company so it’s pretty cool how old was that dude oh he was young I think he was younger than me so in his 20s yeah whoa yeah and actually the other really cool thing he had which I checked out and it was something was brought up at the end people next year they want more gadgets to look at be it through people bringing them or Spark but a lot of people had smart watches lots and lots of people lots of pebbles and all sorts. At the thing. Yeah yeah yeah but Ben had a Samsung Galaxy Gear 2. Oh yeah yeah. And as he put it it’s the ultimate stalker watch. There’s a camera right at the top where the 12 would be and you just press the button and he was recording the fruit bowl and he said oh this is just crazy and what he actually uses it for and he’s… Can we put this on the podcast? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure can. So he’s a new dad and I think his little girl’s less than a year old, maybe 7 months, and if you pull a normal traditional camera out, she knows, like straight away at 7 months old, they know that you’re taking a photo and they do not like it. They’ll either cry or screw their face up, but with the camera on the watch He said he can just take a video or a photo of her just hanging out in her cot. So that was pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah awesome, So what other talks did you attend? I did a talk on what the news would be like if it was customized for myself, and that was talking about how news is presented to people. You did that talk? No, no, no, no, no, I went to that talk. There was another talk I went to which was, is this the golden age for gamers? And there was.
Chris [00:14:55]:
So this hashtag Gamergate thing, is that, was that anything to do with that? No, no, This is just talking about the current
Sam [00:15:04]:
consoles and PC gaming that is out there, and is it better now than it ever has been compared to old-time games? So a lot of the talk was about how the games now are more of a whole experience, cinematic, plus the gameplay, plus story based and just getting bigger and bigger. Whereas obviously in the past it was more about the gameplay, but was the gameplay better in the past than it is now? What was the consensus? Or there wasn’t 1? The consensus was this is the best gaming we’ve ever had. Yeah. But there was a lot of talk about historic retro games and people just remembering all sorts of things. Oh man, Elite
Chris [00:15:45]:
was awesome.
Sam [00:15:47]:
And you know, you think you talk about gamers as it’s going to be young people? No, there was a broad range of people, so it was pretty cool. Yeah, and did you talk on anything while you were there? Yes, I did, I did a session on the logistics of turning a giant pumpkin into a boat. So that was pretty cool.
Chris [00:16:05]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:16:06]:
Yeah, I think people learnt how, you know, the intricacies of doing that and how we did it last year.
Chris [00:16:12]:
Yeah, cause you know, are you really an expert? You’ve only done it once. Okay, I know you’re the only person in New Zealand to have done it but does it make you an expert?
Sam [00:16:22]:
Well isn’t an expert someone that’s done something for 10, 000 hours isn’t that the definition now? No so I’m not an expert in that regards but yes I was 1 of the 2 people that have only ever done it in New Zealand before so we’ve had that experience we went through the whole thing and Yeah, you know if you need advice for that sort of thing just just get hold of me. Yeah Yeah, go to giant pumpkins.co.nz and I’m sure the… Yeah, yeah, there’ll be something there.
Chris [00:16:51]:
Alright, so, um, what… We haven’t got any other projects that we’ve been working on since the last time we’ve been talking or anything? No, no I don’t think so. So, any stories? Do you want to tell a story?
Sam [00:17:11]:
I can’t think of anything. What about… Actually I was thinking about something because this is going to come up every now and then. You suggested an app to me a while back, and I thought, oh yeah, I don’t know if I’ll use that. But I think it’s really good, and it’s Future Text. Oh yeah, yeah. And I know that you program text messages up to a year or more in advance for people’s birthdays Yeah, I could happen. Oh you could do that. I don’t know if that’s general knowledge or not, but it is now So basically you can pre-program text messages for whenever and this message sends them out. I use it
Chris [00:17:50]:
when I work really late at night and I need to send a text message in the morning but I know I’ll be asleep. Yeah because I do this the same thing but not because I’m gonna be asleep but because it’s too early to text that person I don’t want to forget. I’ll set it for a time that’s sort of friendly for the recipient.
Sam [00:18:07]:
Yeah it’s really good it’s open source yeah and there’s no ads and it looks really good and we are talking about Android here yeah better say that so I think because you probably spend 200 bucks on an iPhone and you get 1 just as good. That’s a bit rough, that’s a bit rough. But there will definitely be versions out there for iPhone yeah I would think so or Apple products so yeah check them out but you you said you came up with a story? Oh, no, no. I was just thinking… I’ll tell you what we were going to talk about, and we’re saying, you were going to talk about the… I don’t know how you put it, but this is how I heard it. How hard you’re finding it, being old and crazy going back to karate? Oh man, yeah so
Chris [00:18:49]:
I started karate in 1986?
Sam [00:18:56]:
Yeah I think it was. Just to put things in perspective I was 4 then.
Chris [00:19:01]:
Yeah so I was working then and so yeah, 1 of the guys in the warehouse wanted to get back there, so I got into karate then, and I got into it in a big way, ended up getting my black belt back in, yeah, 89, so actually it’s 25 years this year that I that’s crazy okay that I got my black belt I’m beginning to wonder how old you actually are ah old so anyway so recently gone back to and I ran a club in Wellington for a few years and then when I moved up here 16 years ago, pretty much stopped training. I trained for a bit but then I ended up working nights and it stuffed things up. So I haven’t done anything for ages anyway. I’ve recently got back into it. I’m getting fit, I’m feeling pretty fit until Monday night. What’s Monday night? Is this just normal training? Normal training night but that this particular Monday night we did our warm-ups and we did a lot of bag work. So it’s not the hanging bags but the big pads that you hold. And so we’d have like 3 in threes groups of 3 1 guy in the middle 2 guys with the pads and you just Pounding them, you know moving around kicking punching for a minute I’m feeling tired just listening to the minute and then switch minute then switch minute then switch and we did like 3 rounds. So the guys I’m doing this with are like in their 20s
Sam [00:20:23]:
and… Are they all black belts as well? No,
Chris [00:20:25]:
no, no, they were blue and yellow belts. So, so low, low to middle grades. But yeah, they’re really fit And I thought, you know, I was getting fitter and I’m fitter than I have been for a while and oh my God, yeah, the age does make a difference, you know. Yeah, I bet. I bet. And it’s so frustrating when you know that you used to be as fit as them, and with the experience, I can do things a lot better than them. So now I’ve just got to be real careful and do my, you know, pick my moments. I can Still do a good spinning back kick or whatever. Oh,
Sam [00:21:03]:
I’m sure, but I think that’s what, you know, sometimes people have to realise that, you know, you’re getting older and you can’t, you’re not as agile or possibly recovery takes a bit longer. And it’s funny, Yeah, no, I,
Chris [00:21:16]:
yeah, it does, recovery does take
Sam [00:21:19]:
a lot more. Oh, I know, I just thought of something that I was gonna ask you about earlier. Yep. Now you, what’s the thing on your wrist?
Chris [00:21:27]:
Oh yeah, it’s a VivoFit.
Sam [00:21:29]:
Which is made, is it Garmin 1? Garmin, yeah, that’s the 1. It’s like a Fitbit slash whatever that tracks your life.
Chris [00:21:38]:
How are you finding that thing? It’s really good. I’ve been wearing it for ages so I’ve just flipped over now. It’s got red lines on it because I’ve been sitting down for a while here talking.
Sam [00:21:48]:
Is that bad? Is that it’s motivation?
Chris [00:21:52]:
Here’s some red lines here. They start going across.
Sam [00:21:55]:
That makes me want to just take it off and put it down.
Chris [00:21:58]:
Yeah so I’ve done 12, 958 steps today so that’s not bad considering today was not a gym day. So I haven’t done any, I didn’t go to the gym. All right, that’s a good effort. That’s probably, half of that’s foley work running around in that foley studio. Yeah, it’ll be that. But yeah, so yeah, but getting
Sam [00:22:22]:
back into karate has been really good. I’m feeling pretty good about it and sharing the knowledge all that sort of stuff Yeah, share the knowledge all these young guys that can probably you know beat the crap out of you later. Later. So I just I just realized something I’m going to talk about it’s we’ve got a list of stuff that I will talk about in the future and. And we’ll be more organized in the future.
Chris [00:22:43]:
Yeah yeah. We came running back from this Foley studio and I was like quickly let’s knock out this. Yeah let’s do another 1. But
Sam [00:22:50]:
have you come across, I don’t know if you have or not, but people that just hate their job, like they just, they’re just there I don’t know why they haven’t left yet, it’s just crazy. And I’ve got an example and I won’t tell you where it is, and I won’t even tell you what the shop is because that’s unfair because I think they’re a pretty neat shop. But this person just sort of, she’s an elderly lady, and I swear, I’ve got the feeling she’s been there a long time. I don’t know. She just sort of grunts at you and then chucks the receipt at you and and this is a pure customer Facing role. It’s like a shop or something. Yeah, it’s a it’s a main service type of shop thing Without going to detail. So she just grunts and then I’m swear she’s rolled her eyes at me once before and just doesn’t want to be there and the other day she actually had trainee badge on and I don’t think she is a trainee I think she’s just got that so you don’t know what her name is so you can complain about her It’s like some sort of mad scheme to get away with being a complete idiot So I don’t like going there and I definitely don’t like being served by her. Maybe it’s some old people that just
Chris [00:23:58]:
had enough and they don’t have to prove anything type thing?
Sam [00:24:03]:
I think they’re over dealing with people maybe. Old people aren’t too bad. Yeah, yeah.
Chris [00:24:09]:
When I say that I mean, you know, we’ve all worked with somebody who’s been there so long that they know it all and you can’t tell them anything new.
Sam [00:24:18]:
This is the next step. This person hates what they’re doing. You can see it in their face, their body. If, I don’t know, they should just, they probably can’t do anything else. Maybe that’s the thing. So maybe they should have upskilled like 30 years ago or learnt something new. I don’t know. But… I don’t know, my last job,
Chris [00:24:37]:
yeah, I was a little bit over it and I stayed there because I was getting paid really well.
Sam [00:24:43]:
Yeah, yeah. And I had control over my time and I didn’t have to deal with customers. But it’s that comfort thing isn’t it? People get too comfortable. I was like that with my last job and then just had enough and left. So yeah, I got pretty happy now. But that’s right, I was working towards that. Like well they gave you, they gave like massive amount of no to say. Oh yeah yeah and
Chris [00:25:02]:
I got a redundancy pay, Pay out and stuff and I did nothing for a while. So it was awesome. Yeah. Yeah, it’s it’s like sort of winning lotto But it’s not yeah. Yeah, um actually Surprisingly, I did get quite depressed After after a while From not doing anything? Because that was my social life. You know, going and seeing the same guys every day, having a joke, talking about what’s happening and all that. And I really did start to miss that. I think people find that when they go from a big job to like working by themselves, like working for themselves even. It can be pretty hard. Yeah, yeah, and I didn’t expect that. There was a thing, I was just like, oh yeah, no, I’ll be sweet, but it’s like, whoa, this is a change, yeah.
Sam [00:25:47]:
So it was interesting. I was going to say, oh it is the long weekend coming up, but this will be published after the long weekend, so I think we’ll do a catch up after. I don’t have too much planned.
Chris [00:25:59]:
I think what we should do is we will make a… I’m gonna challenge you. How’s that? I’m gonna challenge you now. Next time we have a podcast, you got to tell a story and the story is the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you. The most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to me. Yeah, so we’ll tell a story that next, next time on the podcast and you tell a story, I’ll tell a story or I’ll tell mine next time and you can tell yours the time after or something like that. I’m trying to think of what story I could tell for that scenario.
Sam [00:26:32]:
I’m trying to choose which 1. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not. It’s not a good thing, trust me it’s not, but
Chris [00:26:40]:
which is probably why I chose that topic because I know I have a lot of embarrassing stories. Well lucky someone does. Oh yeah, well you can then choose to do something about how awesome you were but you know.
Sam [00:26:54]:
Yeah, there might be a few there.
Chris [00:26:58]:
Don’t think about it now. No, no, I’ve got the whole long weekend.
Sam [00:27:03]:
So if you’re listening to this from overseas, this weekend’s Labour Weekend. We get the Monday off nationwide,
Chris [00:27:10]:
which is pretty cool.
Sam [00:27:12]:
To celebrate the fact that we have unions in New Zealand or something? Yeah, back in the day I think that was the deal and they just carried it forward. So Labour Weekend is traditionally the weekend that you want to, the last weekend you want to get your pumpkin started. That’s about the only thing that’s important to me.
Chris [00:27:29]:
Yeah, just working on that.
Sam [00:27:32]:
Cool, so you actually are going to be planting this weekend? Yeah I’ll get the seed started germinating and then into some pots and then they’ll grow in the pots for a week or a bit and then outside into the pumpkin patch. Woohoo. And then we’ll go from there as well as trying to organize things for the Pumpkin Carnival. That’s quite a way away though still. Does it really take that long to get that thing organized? Yeah it does. If you’ve ever organized an event you’re always chasing people and you’re always trying to get help. Especially if you run an event for free or basically on very little money. So you need, you’ve got to track down people that have got things that you need on the day, people that can help you out. Manpower’s a big 1 that’s quite hard to sort out. People always have the best intentions and wanna help you out, but they get busy and that’s fine, or they forget. Prizes,
Chris [00:28:22]:
just all sorts of stuff. Do you get a lot of sponsors? Because I know the radio station
Sam [00:28:27]:
sponsors you guys. Yeah, the local free FM, which is the local community radio station, they help us out with quite a bit. Hamilton City Council helps us out and we’re slowly making all the connections and I think a big part of that was because we did the pumpkin boat rowing last year we got lots of media attention.
Chris [00:28:44]:
Yeah, yeah, that was awesome, that was awesome.
Sam [00:28:48]:
Yeah, it was awesome, it was. It was weird, It was mind-blowing. So if you imagine we had 2 pumpkins that Tim grew.

Sam [00:29:02]:
kilos and 1 was 450 kilos. We cut the tops out Yeah, we paddled around in them and as we’re paddling out in front of us There was nothing can I see to Tim as we’re in the middle of this little lake thing I said this is really weird because since we turn around there’s all these people and there was film crews and all sorts? Yeah it was cool. It was an experience, definitely. Yeah it was cool too because I was away
