Daniel Fox 1:38
Is this actually just like when the kid at school, you know when you, a kid, the annoying kid, at school would like sing and someone would go, you've actually got quite a good voice. And then for like the rest of term, they're just in the corner like, singing Colby Kaye's Tingle, whatever it's called.
Pip Rasmussen 1:55

When you get the musical theater kids together and someone sings Happy Birthday and everyone's trying to fucking harmonize.
Pip Rasmussen 2:07
Yeah. I'm actually the, I'm the hip hip. I'm not like the harmonizer. So I need to jump in. I'm always, because there's always one hip hipper, right? And have you ever had a showdown with another person on that?
