NAME: Jonathan Richard Pryor
AGE: 26 (54 years younger than Robert)
BORN: USA
GREW UP: Auckland
SCHOOLS: St Kentigern College (It’s an all boys school, things went on but I would rather not get into it)
KIDS: No kids (although Bert's daughter Lucy reminds me a lot of myself as a child)
PARTNER: Jen. We are married (yes my balls are in her purse but at least it keeps them warm when it's cold)
WORK HISTORY: Worked for a little while delivering the NZ Herald, that sucked arse. Also as a waiter at Ellerslie Racecourse which sucked even more arse, then at The Rock (and all going well will probably die there)
BEST THING ABOUT WORKING AT THE ROCK: Most of the time we have a bad arse coffee machine (when the bloody thing is going) that can make nice coffee oh yeah plus I get to do my dream job blah blah
WORST THING ABOUT WORKING AT THE ROCK: When the bloody coffee machine isn’t going and having to work with a middle aged dude called Robert who is trying to revive his flailing radio career.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: Getting a job that I would give anything to get (Even gave my boss Brad a blow.... I'll stop there)
Getting paid for the job
Keeping the job (so far)
And working with Bert (he's a good looking man with a deep voice who has taught me a lot of stuff, and being young and ignorant I thought I already knew everything, plus when the coffee machine isn’t working he buys us coffee from down the road)
DUMBEST THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE: Take your pick; we are on air from 3pm till 7pm Monday to Friday
FAVOURITE BANDS: At the moment I like that Peeping Tom (Mike Patton's band), also just your Metallica's, Guns N Roses, Tool, oh yeah this band called the Beautiful Creatures they are pretty good and I LOOOOVVVVE White Zombie
WHAT DO YOU DRIVE - WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT YOU: A fucking bad arse 1991 Toyota Corolla. It's got like four wheels, and umm seats, and a windscreen, and like a steering wheel and shit yeah it's pretty cool aye. What does it say about me? Probably that I'm a loser.
WHAT DO YOU DO TO WIND DOWN: Pilates or Yoga depends what my spiritual adviser tells me to do.
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO IN THE WEEKENDS: Fuck all just cruising around in my Toyota Corolla. If you are keen to join my club the Corollorites just bang us an email and maybe we can cruise around in like a big convoy or something man!!
FAV SPORT ON TV: I always like watching the Warriors when the old man is up, he likes that too, the whole father son bonding thing you know plus the rugby etc.. Don't really have the patience to sit down and watch sport, but as of late have been going my mate Scott's younger brother’s rugby games and we just have a few beers on the sideline. That is always good fun. That of course is after we have been ripping around in the Corolla.
WHICH SUPER 14 TEAM DO YOU SUPPORT: Probably the Blues or those Manly Sea Eagles they're not bad aye.
DO YOU PLAY ANY SPORTS: Not really but we have been playing indoor cricket and that is great fun, except I’m pretty shit and all my team mates blame me when we lose. Plus body building, that's just a little hobby of mine.
WHICH ROCK JOCK IS MOST LIKELY TO GET YOU INTO TROUBLE: Don't know none of them talk to me. I don't think they like me but who cares they all get paid too much.
IDEAL BREAK: Cruising around town in my Corolla
COFFEE: Yep
FAV BEER/BEVERAGE: I like Lion Red
FAVOURITE FAST FOOD: Anything
