Jerry's just out in the old orifice this morning. He came in this morning and he forgot his glasses, didn't he? Classic Jerry. Classic Jerry. And then he goes, nah, that's all good. I've got glasses over at TVNZ. And so he's gone over there and now he's making himself a coffee.

Chapter 2: How does forgetting glasses affect Jerry's morning routine?

22.618 - 23.94 Manaia Stewart

Is that what he's doing now?

0

23.96 - 25.161 Jeremy Wells

I think so. Yeah.

0

25.664 - 44.511 Manaia Stewart

From what I can see. Okay. Do you find that he looks a lot younger with no glasses on? I think most people do, don't they? I feel like for some people it would offset maybe... Because you think of ageing rock stars and they wear those tinted glasses and it's an attempt to make themselves look younger or full sunglasses inside.

0

44.531 - 46.694 Jeremy Wells

Sunglasses, yeah, that's a hard of a thing.

0

46.854 - 48.617 Manaia Stewart

Or there's a...

48.597 - 66.732 Jeremy Wells

There's a style of bloke who will wear a performative pair of glasses to make themselves look less intimidating. Oh, yeah. I don't know if you've ever hung around the jiu-jitsu community. A lot of them will chuck a pair of glasses on afterwards just to make themselves look a little less intimidating. I was listening to the mainstream sports media. Or what's left of it.

67.253 - 87.295 Jeremy Wells

I'm going into work this morning. You know, like I don't. It doesn't really exist anymore in the way that radio sport... No, no, no. I know what you mean. I don't know. It's weird. The mainstream sports media has now become alternative sports media. And I mean that in two ways, and I'll describe them for you thusly. I know what one is. Jeremy Wells.

87.275 - 88.677 Unknown

Good morning, good morning.

88.958 - 93.045 Manaia Stewart

We've just told everyone about your glasses, mate. Welcome in.

Chapter 3: What changes have occurred in mainstream sports media?

175.582 - 181.838 Unknown

When they do the lotto ad and they say, you know, imagine what you could do.

0

181.959 - 182.199 Jeremy Wells

Yeah.

0

183.342 - 190.641 Unknown

Would it be to listen to Radio Sport every day? They should put him on. I won lotto and now I just listen to Sports Radio every day.

0

190.741 - 191.363 Manaia Stewart

Of course, Staffy.

0

193.317 - 197.202 Unknown

Well, he's living the dream, isn't he? That's what I'd love to do. I mean, I'm with him.

197.302 - 210.077 Jeremy Wells

I just asked him one day after he'd been on air. I was like, hey, if you don't mind me asking, not a lot of people have the time to ring a radio station in the middle of the afternoon every day. Then the other one we had was... Oh, man.

210.397 - 211.999 Unknown

And he said, I won Lotto Division One.

212.36 - 232.289 Jeremy Wells

Yeah, he said, I won Lotto. Oh, like... 15 years ago. I wonder how much he won. Did he say? He didn't say, but he said basically it was enough that he travelled the world for a bit, got a couple of flash cars or whatever, and now he's just parked up in Northland just... Listening to the radio. Listening to the radio, yeah. I'd like to assume... No mates.

232.73 - 243.405 Unknown

No mates. Yeah, maybe. And no mates. Well, let's be honest. If you've got lots of mates... You're not ringing the radio. Do you just sit and listen to sports radio and ring it?

Chapter 4: How has the concept of the 'prize pig' evolved in radio?

677.123 - 685.193 Jeremy Wells

Not 3,000, but like... 14 hours ago. 14 hours ago. 16. 16. 16. 17.

0

686.523 - 709.449 Manaia Stewart

Wow. Oh, my. Yeah. So the radio station next door to the radio station that we worked at, we got into their prize system. Yeah. And it basically listed all of, because we were trying to track down this particular prize pig and see how much he was winning. But the radio station next door to us, there was one particular prize pig there. Right. Who had won the most prizes at that place.

0

710.371 - 726.387 Manaia Stewart

And that person's last name, have to beat this. Keezy. Oh. And she was reselling on Trade Me. Oh. Like 28,000 prizes in their prize system. Oh. It was unbelievable.

0

728.212 - 730.317 Unknown

This might be more of an off.

0

730.297 - 735.582 Manaia Stewart

Off-podcast chat. Yeah, there's quite a bit more to that story, obviously. Oh, really?

Chapter 5: What are the implications of prize pigs on radio stations?

735.662 - 735.943 Manaia Stewart

Yeah.

0

736.263 - 746.433 Jeremy Wells

Make sure you beep all this stuff, because I know often this is going up a little bit earlier these days. Let's just make a good... Yeah, it's all good. Let's just have a good couple of scrubs through that. You can cast the weather air across that as well.

0

746.453 - 753.7 Manaia Stewart

It's a little bit about 12 and a half, so I've got three good beeps need to go on at the moment. Oh, at least. Don't just do three and knock it on the head.

0

753.94 - 755.682 Jeremy Wells

I just want to make sure that you get through this.

0

755.962 - 757.924 Manaia Stewart

You can't identify people at all, actually.

757.904 - 781.096 Jeremy Wells

No. So this is the thing. So the prize pick exists, but when I was working in the mainstream sports media, There was one that was coming through that we thought was a prize pick. It was a reverse prize pick. It was the same phone number and they were giving a different name every time. And we were like, well, how have you... What are you trying to... What's the game here?

782.137 - 805.525 Jeremy Wells

Are you... Because again, it's the reverse of the prize pick. It's one number, seven different names. Yeah. Turns out... What was happening there was that was one communal cell phone at a retirement home. Oh, jeez. And so every day they would call through and it would be a different person's turn. And I was like, we've got your name saved to something different in the system.

805.705 - 818.542 Jeremy Wells

What's going on there? No, don't know, don't know. All of them, don't know, don't know, don't know. The last guy who was still with it, he was like, well, it's the same phone. We're all using the same phone. I was like, who's all using the same phone? Shady X Retirement Village.

819.002 - 819.703 Unknown

Wow, man.

Chapter 6: What stories illustrate the challenges of dealing with callers?

1036.603 - 1042.556 Unknown

And we're like, oh, man. Oh, fuck.

0

1042.576 - 1048.123 Jeremy Wells

Where do you go? Oh, fuck. What did they do? No, and it's even worse than that. Went to a song.

0

1048.363 - 1050.346 Unknown

No, because there's no songs.

0

1050.406 - 1050.946 Jeremy Wells

Talk back.

0

1051.066 - 1051.267 Unknown

I know.

1051.287 - 1075.064 Jeremy Wells

And also the host, yeah, yeah. And then the host also was relatively inexperienced, and he was on by himself. The other host who was a bit more experienced than that, and a female, so she would have been able to handle it a bit better. wasn't there for whatever reason and so the host who i won't say who it was just had to go ah, really, sorry to hear that, man.

1075.084 - 1101.229 Unknown

Ah, damn. And so he's like, he's like looking at me, I'm looking at him, I don't fucking know. No one, they don't teach you that at radio school.
