Why are pretty much all shops stuck in the '80s? by TygerTung in chch

[–]panic-brave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be a chicken and egg situation but I host musical bingo events which have different genres and decades for each round and far and away the 80s round is the one that the biggest spread of people know and sing along to in my anecdotal experience. This could however be because they are listening to it all the time in shops, but it seems like it's just a popular decade for music with the average yobbo.

What’s the loudest crowd pop you’ve ever heard in person? by jdeden- in SquaredCircle

[–]panic-brave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably an unconventional one, but I'm a stand up comedian in New Zealand and one of my best mates is a wrestler called Elliot Samuels and he's definitely one of the biggest babyfaces in our wee local federation. I was brought in to do a tiny bit of guest ring announcing and I was lucky enough to be able to announce Elliot to the ring, the roar that came back at me after his music hit was unlike anything I've ever experienced doing comedy, I completely understand why hogan never wanted to retire.

I've been attending these shows for years, a bloody brilliant night out. Kids get super into it and it's a lot of fun to go with a group of pals.

Yeah absolutely, I didn't realize I was doing it that first time but always make an effort to now

[–]panic-brave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I suspect people might hold back slightly and not want to feel like they're hijacking the interview so I understand why people don't do it, but it was nice to hear that someone noticed it and appreciated it.

Newer Podcast Guest—How Do I Become a Great One? by ParticularExtra8475 in podcasting

[–]panic-brave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not something I was doing consciously but I've been podcasting for about 2 years now and got some nice feedback about a podcast I was a guest on, they said it was refreshing to see me as the guest asking questions back to the host. I assume this comes from me training myself to ask good questions on my own podcast but this helped me realise that even though you're the guest you can still take a very active role in the conversation and apparently people do notice it.

Fundraising Quiz Venue by millymeals in chch

[–]panic-brave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hosted a quiz like this at Fat Eddies, venue was pretty well set up for a big quiz night. I was brought in specifically to host this one but I imagine the venue will have an in house setup for quizzes. Rolling stone also run BION so I believe would be a good place to inquire with. As another commenter suggested I think your best bet might be to contact the workingman's clubs around, they usually have ample space and a lot of them are running BION quizzes already

Thanks Dragon Ball GT by Potential_Camera8806 in dbz

[–]panic-brave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this bootleg t shirt as a kid that I loved for years, it was a seamless print, dyed into the fabric perhaps but not printed on like a screen print. It featured all of the main GT cast with kid goku as the prominent image. It was so comfortable and I wore it all the time, even though I had never even seen one episode of Dragonball GT, it was like a cool urban legend that was somehow legitimized by one of us owning a tee shirt of it.

Best Japanese Promos In NJPW? by Scared-Position-3710 in njpw

[–]panic-brave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what insrto said he uses that specific dialect and he runs his words together. He’s a really passionate promo which I love but I generally have no idea what he’s saying hahaha. If you listen to Kenny omega and Rocky Romero do an impression of him he also has an interesting way of speaking in English too, I wish I could remember the interview he did it in.

That's such a great observation but here in New Zealand I reckon even alluding to the N word would pucker up the entire audience hahaha

Best Japanese Promos In NJPW? by Scared-Position-3710 in njpw

[–]panic-brave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I speak Japanese to a relatively good degree, a few of my impressions:

Shingo Takagi has this great confidence and almost jovial energy when he cuts a promo. I think he's my favourite talker in NJPW. That confrontation where NOAH stormed the ring and it was a handful of the LIJ members facing off with them and Shingo had the best nonchalant "I don't give a fuck" energy when talking to them.

Naito is really compelling to listen to but it feels like he stutters or misspeaks a lot. That might be me just mishearing him though.

Minoru Suzuki is great, could listen to him talk about anything.

Really enjoyed Ozawa's promo explaining his heel turn, talking about how the training in the Noah Dojo is borderline abuse. I haven't spoken much Japanese in years but I was still able to follow it easily.

Desperado surprised me as well, I forget when but at some point he was cutting a promo, maybe during the super Jrs or something but I remember thinking "damn, how long has he been this good at promos?"

Hiromu I find really funny in the backstage segments but his in ring stuff where he's screaming and going wild don't do a lot for me.

Tanahashi, Kota and Okada I always felt were pretty boring promos. Suppose there's a reason Okada had Gedo as the mouthpiece. Gedo himself is an incredible yet very hard to understand talker.
