Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Gentleman Being podcast. Hey, that's us broad to you
by Hello Fresh. The Experts and Tastes that kiewis GPT
gets a lot of talk around the AI artificial intelligence.
It's a it's a pretty incredible thing.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's like go if you haven't been on chat gbts
essentially like Google on steroids, isn't it? But there?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Yeah, you ask it anything, to do anything, and AI
will spit it out for you. As a matter of second, we.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Are your personal assistance, isn't it. Okay, I'm on that
for you right now. And I can.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Obviously do some wonderful things, some scary things at the
same time, and also some mean things I've discovered because
my kids were last night were going, hey, you can
if you screenshot your Instagram and then you put it
into chet GPT, you can get chet GPT to roast you.

Speaker 5 (00:42):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's finally got into cyber bullying, because when when I
first came out, I'd be like, you know, write a cutting,
nasty comment about my friend Ben, and it'd be like,
bullying can affect the long term emotions of an individual
with lifelong trauma, and then give me a ten page
you say on why I want to bully, and I
was like, yo, that's exact I wanted to bullet.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, and now it's bullied. Well yeah, so my daughter,
you know took.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I said, oh, well, let's do the radio show here
at the hits, okay, and take a screenshot of our
Instagram and then's put that into chat GPT shot. My
daughter s is like, can I do that?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
I'm like okay.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
And so this is like a screenshot we snapshot of
our radio show talking about things like John O's awkward handshake.
We had the Kiwi mobile competition. Tanya won ten thousand
dollars with Bingo. We had you know, pre pranked the boss.
They were all there amongst the tiles.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
So it's just trawled across these images. Yeah, just the
images are still with these images. And then developed a
comedic roast. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
And so my daughter wrote and roast this Instagram page
from your first impression.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Be mean is what she wrote.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Oh she's cutting there, and then it's I love how
we're now teaching it to cyber bully.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
This is not a good thing. This is the turning point, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
So I came back and said, all right, let's roastless
page John O and Ben more like johon Oan Beije started.
It looks like you've assembled a world class collection of
trying too hard to be funny moments. The content screams
chaotic energy meets midlife crisis. It's like it's like watching

(02:09):
two grind men try to stay relevant but milking every
cringe worthy moment they can. The pinnacle of your achievements
seems to be pranking your boss like a couple of
overgrond skool kids.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
And congratulations to Kylie.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Not sure that ten thousand dollars she won was for
winning or surviving your radio show, and that breaks it
down to each of us. Okay, so, Joho, Johno, are
you costplaying as every nineties indie band frontman? You're the
dead in every barbecue, insists on talking about his glory days,
still dressing in the same clothes you're giving off serious

(02:44):
used to be cool now, But I'm confused by the
world vibes at this point, I'm convinced you only keep
being around as someone who looks more confused than you do.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
Me.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Okay, there gets it to me.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Making my heart's here, then fucking two thousand and three
frosted tips like they're still relevant. But you know the
only thing that's frosted is the look of regret every
time you pass a mirror. You think dad jokes are
still peak comedy, but somehow managed to pull them off
so awkwardly. Even your dad's a shamed Megan, Megan, I

(03:19):
hope you've done this for last situation.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
This is the format. Honestly, are you lost? Question mark?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Did you take a wrong turn on your real job?
I also on your way to a real job. Were
you're just here to make John being look slightly less
of a mess?

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Management would agree.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, you're supposed to be the balance, but instead
you're over there acting like Karen Karen Walker in a
PTA meeting, low key judging everyone while pretending not to care.
The video on John's handshake disaster, fitting metaphor for this
page a train wreck.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
You can't look.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Away, mean, make sure you keep that Kiwi mobile mascot
handy big your next career move.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
GPT.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Wow, that is like insanely accurate.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
All that from just stills like, oh my god, if
you met that person in the bar, you'd be like,
I'm going to retire from life.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
That was and now.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
We've taught it to do this brutal just it's got
into the online bullying gametal anyway, anywhow.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
That beats any read it? Read it for him? Either? Wow? Yeah, yeah,
we go. That was just a matter of seconds that
spent that out. And you know what I love about
it as it has no remorse or regret. All right,
you wanted this?

Speaker 1 (04:37):

an award before you were like one.

Speaker 4 (04:45):

Speaker 1 (06:45):
But actually speaking Karen Walker because we talked about her,

Speaker 4 (07:54):

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Come, I'm only like active, Like if I was going
for a walk, maybe active wear.

Speaker 4 (08:09):

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Just a T shirt with a hole in it? I
think I've got like an old Adidas T shirt wear
that's got a hole in it, and I'm wear that
often at the weekend.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Do you know what the greatest thing that has ever
happened to me in fashion, it is about a year
and a half, nearly two years ago, I went and
purchased some jeans from the denim shop, and the lady
behind the counter said, if I can give you any advice,
don't ever wash these two years I have these jeans.
I have never washed these jeans now, Levi Strauss. He
was like, my jeans are not designed to be washed.
And greatest thing that's ever happened to me, probably the

(08:51):
worst thing that's ever happened.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
To the owner of my legs.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's quite far away from my smelling senses anyway, my
legs but never washed.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
The calous it's the same, the fields still.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Rigid, food that you've spelt on it solid.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, washing for time to time was fine, but anyway,
two years honestly, see how long I can ride these out?
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast yesterday speaking of Dua Liper,
we did a leap for Joe Liper.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yeah, you can you do elape for dual leaper. Now
you can see what we did there.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
It wasn't much of a leak to get there, to
be honest, but it was jumping off a bridge, bunge
jumping off a bridge, and it was if you hadn't
been to a concert before. We had Shari Lovely Sharry
and her son, seventeen year old Alex, and Shari refused
to do the jump.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
She wasn't going to do it, but they'd never been
to a concert and yeah, and neither of them been
a bungee jump.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
So Alex bunge jump yesterday and it was his first
bungeee and he did it time you hear some audio, but.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
He did a backflip, which is pretty incredible.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
What Yeah, it was very calm like almost it made
me unsettled how calm he was beforehand.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Be backflips, back floots and he did it beautifully.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
That was pretty incredible. And more on that just after
seven o'clock. But what I didn't realize. I mean, it
was a very very windy day yesterday and so we
had to walk across the Harbor Bridge to get to
the bungee.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Thank you very much. That a j Hackett too for
how do I do this as well? It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
There's locations Auckland, Queenstown and Topore and you can get
you know, a great place for Christmas functions as well.
But thanks to them, we walked across the bridge and
I didn't realize that Megan, you weren't even budget jump, but.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
You were freaking out.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
I'm scared of heights.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
That's my time to tell us that.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
I always I'm like, don't patick about anything until you're
doing it, because it might be fine. And then when
I was doing it, it wasn't fine.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
It was very windy, and.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
We're walking along the Harbor Bridge and we could see
down to the water. Now I didn't realize because we're
all walking one by one, we're sort of tethered to
like a cord. As we're sort of walking along. You're
in front of Grace, producer Grace, and myself and so
we're just having a chat. We're talking about things.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
So as you're walking, you're walking on like a metal
grates under the actual bridge. If you look down, you
can see the water gets high and higher, and he's
just like a middle bar, so you can see off
the side. It's scary and it gets higher and higher.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
And gress I would just be just past a conversation,
just talking because it's uite a long walk, and we
were talking about like if you jumped off or fell
off at this point, whither you it was survivable.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
You're like that conversation with myself there you go, well.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Would yeah, survivable? Survivable? And then we got to a
stage was like, oh, not survival, that's you know, this
is broken limbs.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
And we didn't realize the whole Me like I would
chuck my head and I'd check a shoe. I don't
know if the hat would be Like it was in
teeth center and they were both behind me, and I
didn't even have it in me. I was that petrified.
I didn't have it in me to turn around, go
can you shut up? I was focused forward and I
was like doing my pilates, breathing.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
I was like.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Holding on to the arm by arm on the barrier
and they're like, yeah, I chucked my head. I don't
think you'd survived from here. I'm just like, oh.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
And it was when it was fifty k gusts of
when now they were saying that they can go the
operation can still go ahead up.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
To seventy k gus we're early in fifty and that
was that was wild.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
There was the day where in the morning I was
doing wind warnings for the Harbor Bridge. He was like, oh,
I don't remember that, don't liston is the day we
chose to go on the Harbor Bridge.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Ripped through me like about a guest.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
But you know the Red Bull cliff Divers that they
came to New Zealand this year higher than that right
at the peak of the bridge. That's where they jumped from. Whoa,
so twenty seven meters they twenty seven.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Meetings and.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
If the hits that johnaan Ben podcast yesterday.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
After the show that you were won an award our
high school.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
It was you know how at the end of the
year you have like the big prize giving, so everyone wins,
like you know, the big awards, and your parents come
and you go up on stage. And I got one
of like the big end of year awards when I
was leaving high school and it was the Sophie Crohne
Memorial Award. I don't know who that is, obviously reach.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
For the potential respect to Sophie Kruhn and the krun family.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
I think I got a little trophy too, in a certificate.
I had to hand the trophy back, but like I
got up there, walked in front of every one, got
my award, but I don't really know like what I
did to get.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
There, So it's potential for making a difference. Yeah, how
do you think that's got.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Honestly, I don't think I've made a difference yet, but
like maybe yeah, like I'm still got time.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
We were working towards it. After we heard about this.
We were in the school yesterday, didn't we your school?

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Your school, Nayland College and Nelson.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
We spoke to Louise who answered the phone. Oh, look,
I don't because it feels like a fellow awards. It
feels like, you know, it's one of the biggest awards.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
They are.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
We'll never know if the Sophie krun potential to make.
Was it potential to make a difference or you're definitely
were going to make a.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Difference, potential to make I'm still working towards it.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
And she made a difference, hoo's to say, not for
me to say, she's got the potential.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
So she had never heard of the award. Now this
led us on to believe was it an award of
a token award? Designed and architecture for the award ceremony
because they had nothing else.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I feel like I was a real like and your
face kind of shoot it, like I was a real gogater.
I was always hanging around doing things. So they were like, oh,
is there something we can give her, you know, shut
her up at the end of.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
The Yeah, it's like when you see some poor kid
walk across the stage and so well done to the
tallest in the school, little Mikey Stanton, and Mikey's wondering up.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Mikey didn't achieve anything this year the workplaces. Yeah, because
someone has an idea offered it at Christmas function. So
we'll give everyone on the team an award, and then
there's a few big baggers in after a while you're like, oh,
you know, I know, you're like, oh, thanks for that.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
You're really I've been I've been the victim of many
filler awards, certificate of merit.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
We never put merrit after an award. You're like, I'm
just here making up numbers, simply participation in award.

Speaker 8 (15:08):
Right.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, So what we want to know is your your
token awards, your filler awards. Have you received one?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
This one isn't filler, this is like, this is one
of the big prizegiving ones.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
You shouldn't have heard of it, mate, Louis didn't even
heard of the award. And it wasn't given from the school,
not from your peers or anything like that. It was
just from the school.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, I got one at school. I remember the prize
giving for crashing my car into my own driveway.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
That was my way.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
That was and that was jumped from peers. But but
the otherwise was like, oh, this guy's awesome sports those guys.
I got one for crashing guy on the drama. It
was like, oh great, I got certificate. Yeah, that was
definitely a fellow award right hits that jonaan Ben podcast
talking about Megan's awards she won at high school.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
It was one of the major awards in prize giving.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
The Sophie Crane potential to make a difference. It's what what.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
College was it against Railing College and Nelson.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
We've just phoned Aileen College. No records of the award.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
She didn't say no records, Louise says she wasn't sure.
It doesn't say no record.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
We put it in to check. GPT.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
It roasted the show before and we roast Meghan's award
as well. Meghan won the award for potential to make
a difference. It says emphasis on potential. We're still waiting
for any signs of it. It's like giving a participation
trophy to a sloth. Sure, sure she showed up, but
did anything actually happen.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
I'm working on that.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
So have you received a token award this morning? Eight
hundred that's the telephone number you can text two four
four eight seven. Oh, listen, someone's text through. And this
is just such a reflection on the Hits audience, so
wonderful and kind. Meghan, you make a difference to all
those listening every day. Meghan, isn't that nice?

Speaker 9 (16:52):
Nice?

Speaker 4 (16:53):

What where was the wards held at?

Speaker 7 (17:18):
I did correspondent school, so they threw flew me to
the to the Wellington.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Wowright, So mirrors it seems like such a vague term.
I've just said ticuity. Google what mirror it is?

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Because I've received a couple of certificate for some merrit
and they kind of tacked on to the end the
awards ceremony, but you know, saying the quality of you know,
being particularly good. Yeah that's great and you know, rightfully
you could deserve a bit of praise.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Is the is the meaning? So well done? They flew you,
they paid for flights. So obviously a lot of mirror
at the Glen in the north.

Speaker 7 (17:48):

Speaker 3 (19:14):
My dinner.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
It's lovely to have you here, so twikio today Marty
Marty Language Week, which I didn't realize been going since
nineteen seventy five. There would have been a few shaky
years at the beginning. I imagined, ah.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
Yes, because Marti Language wasn't an official language until nineteen
eighty seven, so they had the Pezzi Hanner Marty so
they had the petition to say, okay, we need to
have to deel Mary in our schools and you know,
and then they started the cour hung Adel movement all
of that.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
So yeah, that's that's where they were at.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
They're going, you know what we can give you, we
can give.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
You a day at that point.

Speaker 11 (19:48):
By the way, and Winter Kdida came in four years ago.
That's the Marty News show that my husband does. It
was two minutes long, then you got up to five.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
It's brill enough to be like, good morning, just top.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Well that's and so do you obviously I feel like
coming out it's come a long way.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, but there's more to do.

Speaker 11 (20:09):
Well in terms of our tamaitik you like, would you
say all of your kids are pretty Yeah. I got
a lot more base knowledge than we had absolutely, and
their pronunciations better.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I was gonna say, even like my three year old
son is like yoda, I'm.

Speaker 11 (20:22):
Like, and they'll say cuckoo you all those little things.
And also when you get tweens or teenagers, those girls
love to correct you.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah brutally.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Now I'm just being honest right now, Like I love
to use it, but sometimes get nervous about saying it
wrong and then get offending someone or doing it wrong.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
And imagine these.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
People listening right now that sometimes hold themselves back from
maybe saying something or for not wanting to offend, and
then you go for the I guess the easier option,
which is probably not what you should do.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Right well, yeah, I.

Speaker 11 (20:53):
Guess if we think about the streets we live on
and the places that we live, if that's a good start.
Say you live on a street that as a Marty name,
and you go, okay, I'm just going to lock that
in and this is how you build your confidence because
Marty is actually really consistent. So it's always R E
or and we can all say that, right, And so
if you just need to get yourself used to how

(21:14):
you're going to read it, and you're not going to
vince someone if you're trying. I mean, I know growing
up in christ Church there was a place that everyone
called Mary How and it's made a hoe like it
actually doesn't sound anywhere.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
So it's like and stuff like that.

Speaker 11 (21:29):
You know some of them, like people say Tiker water
and I'm like, what do they say the ko and
it sounds more beautiful because a Marty, It's like if
I call you Meghan, that's not your name. Yes, so
you know what I'm saying, but like, as my respect
to you, I'd never call you something, but you're not.
I know you say Meghan even though I look at

(21:51):
it and go, well, I see Meghan, So I'm gonna
say Meghan.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah, Well, what is your journey with the language being
because you were speaking it when you were growing up?

Speaker 11 (21:59):
Not at all? You know that embarrassment you described, I
had that. It's and you know sometimes I just be
more embarrassed because I'm mary to not know it that
all of that embarrassment fear and then kind of tied
in with like my my grandmother, my queer was a
was a native speaker, so I felt doubly embarrassed, you know.

(22:20):
So then it's a whole story of how did your
family lose this? What decisions did your family make that
you're kind of justifying as you as you kind of
butcher the language. And I remember, like Peter Hayden people
might remember him, really amazing broadcaster. He said to me,
I think it would be good if you pronounced Marty
Woods correctly, and like I'm dying inside and going, yeah,
I know he's right, but I'd just gone with what

(22:40):
was easy, you know, growing up and crash at chindonedin
and so that was when I was a teenager that
I went, yeah, I do need to do this. And
so it's not always easy, and it's not always elegant,
and it is embarrassing, but it's it's with it and
that's what or Mary.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
Is all about. Just a little bit is a lot.

Speaker 11 (22:59):
He needs to take a boot with their card it
with a few words, you can say it like the heads.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
That John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
There's been a bit of a mission this week, a
journey to find Ben's missing sock. We we dedicated way
too much time and resource. Appreciate it, but yeah, finding
Ben's missing soccer black sock with a four leaf clover
on it.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Had a missing poster campaign out there. We rolled that
out for you.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
You know, people phoning you were phoning hotels that you've
stated out over the last two months for work and
they had no idea. And Amanda, your wife's she's got
to the point where like enough's enough, the sock is
to go. Friday was the deadline.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yeah, so it looks like the sock's gone. Looks like that. Well, well,
as Megan said before, just keep it at work.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
So we'll put it out there that, yeah, you've thrown
it out, but keep it at work, because I feel
like as soon as you say you've thrown it out, it.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
All appears, it'll turn up. The universe will deliver. So
not a happy ending, you know. We like to have
happy endings.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
But they call them story arcs and radio, don't they
Where you start something and you go along on a journey.
And what we had all imagined was someone to have
a spear sock and come through and we have a happy,
emotional ending, not to be like if we were a.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Better show, maybe we would have manufactured this, you know,
and got oh my goodness is the thing. But no,
but we had We just went places, We went along
for the ride. Legit, you know, put it out there.
Sometimes you have wins and losses. Life is unfair, life
is a love.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
One time we made you stand on a sizzler for
about twelve and a half hours waiting for Kevin Hart
to tune up and say hello, he didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
You know, this is the reality it's not about it's
not it's about the journey, not the destination.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Doesn't mind. He see a great song about climbing something.
She's like, well, the sock.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
The sock banter doesn't stop here really because next week
we've been working behind the scenes revolutionizing the sock industry.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
We're going to sock it to him.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Oh that's good, like the part.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Now, what we would say, Megan, would you say this
would solve not know only New Zealand's problems, but probably
the world's problems with losing socks.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
This idea is probably the best thing you've ever thought of, Johnna.
It's so oh god, I feel like you need to
patient it.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Can't they company own it?

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Now?

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (25:05):
We talk. We had that discussion with management. They're like,
we own this idea now, like, damn it.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
You blew our socks off this idea?

Speaker 8 (25:12):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
It's launching next week? Okay, now, Ali producer Ali's just

working children in China working on this, Matey.

But I can't work anymore. My fingers are.

Speaker 2 (25:36):

come monday. But not just this is not just a
benefit to you. This has a been to even listening,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, definitely, I'm excited. I don't know what it is,
and I think, no, I think you think you know
what it is, but you I don't think you're quite.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Theres that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
They went to the Chimmis Warehouse, So you know, find
partners at this radio station, the Kimmis Warehouse, and it's
one of those locations and there, you know, they are
about four or five of them in the shopping world
where you're walking and you're in your head. You've been
sent there to get one item. Then all of a sudden,
seize your step on the door. You're bamboozled by the bargains. Yeah,

(26:19):
I reminded of other stuff. You're like, oh, yeah, I
don't need that.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I could get that. Yeah, so I have to get that.

Speaker 1 (26:25):

hard to go and yeah, one item for the Superman

Speaker 5 (27:29):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Just announced her second concept for New Zealand next year,
April next year. Pre sales have ended today. The general
sales tickets go on sale from one PM, which is
going to be very exciting.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
You must imagine that the pre sales sold out the
entire Wednesday show.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
You imagine April the fourth that she's going to be there,
watch me when the first double pass to give away.
So we thought, because Meghan, you rode a bus for
the first time, we thought we'd find someone who had
never been to a concert before give them a chance
to win a double vassa jewel leaper.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, and so we're going to do do a leap
for do a Leaper, which was jumping off the harbor
bridge thanks to A J.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Hackett bungee either got locations all over and you in Queenstown,
Tope or Auckland's as well. And great for Christmas functions.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
AJ Hackett is if you haven't organized your Christmas function yet,
bridge climb bungee jumps heaps of options there for you.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Thanks to the wonderful Leo though, who accommodated us there
at Ajevely. There before, just before us, there was an
entire group of school kids, you know, about twenty or
three school kids who got to go up for free.
And he does that weekly out of the goodness of
AJ Hackett's heart.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
So that's very nice, isn't it. But yeah, we took
Shary and his son Alex, seventeen year old Alex to
the top. Sharry was vehement that she wasn't going to
do the jump.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Fair enough, only one of them had to do the jump, right, Yeah,
And it was windy, Meghan, you were petrified walking up
the bridge.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Done in the news that there was wind warnings and
there was a potential for the bridge to close because
it was too windy. Didn't think about that, and we
got onto the bridge and.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
I don't listen to the news. I'm reading just say so, it.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Doesn't even connect that we were going to be going
there a couple of hours later. And it was one
gust of fifty k's when that's coming at you on
the bridge and you're up in the ear and I'm
standing on a middle gred and I can see how
far down it is. I was scared.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Radio announces aren't mean to be out in the elements.
You're right, I honestly believe I lost my virginity to
the wind yesterday.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
It was that powerful. It was really powerful.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
So anyway, we walked up after we met Shari and
Alex in reception of AJ Hackett, Okay, Alix.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
And Cherry, welcome, thank you read AJ Hackett Bungee. Yeah,
what I was, what does it live? What's the motto?
Live more fear less? While I live with a lot
of fear, quite a lot. So now Alice, you're doing
the jump. Yes, I'm how we feeling not nervous at all.
So you've never jumped before, but you're thinking about doing
a backflip. Yeah, that's just to send it. You've really
got zero to one hundred again, my fears really taken

(29:53):
over right now? Have you done backflips before? Yes, I'm tramplines. Okay, good.
You know I was wondering if your David blackfis off.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
While mum Sharry is like shaking, I'm.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Nervous on his behalf. So you're doing this because either
of you have never been to a concert before.

Speaker 8 (30:11):
Nope, never been to a concert, and it would be
awesome for him to go for his birthday next year.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Last chance for you to do a budget not thank you.
So Sharry wasn't keen, but Alex wasn't. Yeah, a backflip
was what he was saying he was going to be
doing for his first ever Bungie.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Still still backflipping. OWI baby, yep, sorry.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
For calling baby, although I speaking baby justin Bieber has
jumped off the bridge.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Was just reading before baby, Baby, Baby Bieber Katie Pierry,
South Wales, Warri they jumped on. Those are all the
names he could. They're really cranking to do a lever
up here. Alix is about to jump off. Now he
is going to go for the backflip. See he's facing inwards.

Speaker 11 (30:54):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (31:14):

social media videos with this, but it's very northern Ocean.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Usually.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Imagine the guy doing the vocals on this and the
recording both tell you what. It's a banger. It's an
ocean banger. We've got Simon from the Wiggles next week
is a deep voice. We should play that to him
and see if he can see na. Yeah, he's got

(32:44):
He's the deepest of the Wiggles. Yeah, yeah, I think
we could do this. Are you just quickly put any
beat behind this? Or is it just a guy going
no no.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
The Oxford English Dictionary have added a few more words.
I feel like they just pop up. No disrespect to
the it's the next three, but just do these articles
and you just like, hey, guys, remember us chuck some
words from there every year. So yeah, they've added it
to the dictionary that I don't know how many people
are buying. But anyway, guys got new words.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
It's not update your dictionary annually.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
None online that maybe there is an online version, but walker, jumper,
mahi and chilibund cholibud Oxford English Dictionary. I would have
thought chilibind would have been there when it comes to
this part of the world. But there's just some of
the new words that have been added.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Have they added any of the words that you've been
getting bloody two hundred million views upon on social media?

Speaker 4 (33:39):
You imagine they might be adding this and all that.
I think there was added last year somewhere.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
If you work for the Oxford Dictionary, you're obviously a
scholar of language in words and that part of your
big party you must die as you're entering.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Skibberity and riz into your.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Should and busting were added as well as simp last
year apparently as well to the so.

Speaker 2 (34:04):

the Oxford word of the year. You're right, really, is
this what English.

This week, I'd appreciate it. Brun's efforts.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
So we rang hotels that had stayed and we put
up posters, we put it out on social media, but
no luck so.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Far, funning so well. This was the d day, was Amanda?

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Your wife was going to throw the sock out if
you hadn't found the matching peer by Friday?

Speaker 4 (34:30):
What was there? Was there a particular Friday five pm
or something?

Speaker 3 (34:35):
She's not gonna like watch you put it in the bend,
like can you hide it at.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
The moment, it's my back to work, o green cool.
She knows anything about deadline. She always got a stipulated
time too. She just probably wants it out of the
house and should be happy with it being Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Actually, we've got a big surprise for you on the
sock front before nine o'clock.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
The sock. It's a big surprise. Now, I just want
to get into a little I want to get rid
of something now. You know in jeans where you've done
a lot of gene content today, have you talked about
like not washing your jeans for two years? An hour ago?
Was the second bit of gens based content.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Talking about my family. You're right heavy, Jean get but
you know, does anyone know what you would know? That
tiny little pocket, the tiny little pocket above the main
pocket where you can barely slip the top half of
two fingers into.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Get rid of it. Get rid of it. I did
some light research into this.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
It was full back in the day they had you'd
stick your little time piece in there, so you you
know how you didn't ever want a rich risk.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
That's where it held. And I guess one it's the
safest pocket if you've got something, well, especially if you're
sneaking stuff into the festivals. You go to being voice.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
You're right, you know, like if you've got a single
khaki or like some cash or something, you don't have anything.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
To so you wouldn't mind it remaining there. I don't
use lots.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
So now it's like it's a tiny, tiny little pocket,
the tiniest little pocket in the fashion industry.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
It seems like so much more effort that little bit
of fair brick. There's little domey things to stick it in.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
Yeah, you're right. They probably don't need to have it there, Becker.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
If I didn't realize it was for the clock, it'd
be like some designers like, I'm going to create the smallest,
most inconvenient pocket almost nothing.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
What if you put in that pocket in the past,
you're getting slip a coin in there. Yeah, cash and
key and a single key.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
It couldn't get your whole car keys in there, like
if I was Yeah, like if I'm going for a
walk with the dog and I'm wearing jeans.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Or something like a pair lot key for the house,
put it in there, you know, just a single key.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
You've got chicken legs. I've been wearing skinny jeans for
a long time, and there's nothing's getting in.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
That pocket if you use the pocket.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
My fingers barely getting that pocket.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Jesus are tight, two fingers into that.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Nothing's getting in there. Maybe a key if you at
a stretch, So.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Get rid of it.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
That's what it feels like. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, even
though I have used it, I wouldn't miss it like
I wouldn't so yeah, but you know what happened.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
We would get rid of it, and then ever it
would be like bring back the tiny pocket to be
some nostalgic thing, you know, like we do with Pizza Hutton,
Georgie Pye.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
And then you bring it back from everyone. I realize, well,
they got rid of it.

Speaker 10 (37:39):
We would We're good.

Speaker 12 (37:40):
Yep, great weekend for North Island.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Well, last weekend Connor came in from a not a
I wouldn't say a petty angle, but a sympathetic angle
from us. He's running a marathon and atrocious conditions in Dunedin.
This week there's no such endurance event to get the
heart strings going, Hailey. So it's an even playing field.

Speaker 9 (38:00):
Finally, because I knew as soon as that came out
of his sweet little mouth last week that I had
last once again, and it seems to be a recurring
theme lately.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
But atrocious conditions. I saw a photo of Connor running.
It looked like it was a nice day in the end.

Speaker 10 (38:14):
Yeah, it actually did turn out a lot. Yeah conditions,
not a breath the windbow, what the weather?

Speaker 3 (38:20):
It does.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
See the President though that you can bring in personal
agendas into the ring, all right, Haley, So if you've
got any health issues going on or anything you'd like
to bring in the forefront.

Speaker 9 (38:29):
I am going for a dental clean next week, so
you know, that's a pretty important event.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
I can't keep us up to speed with that one.
But firstly, what's happening in the North Island, Haley.

Speaker 9 (38:38):
Well, we have got Hasting's iconic Blossom Festival. Now, they
do this every year. It's a big celebration of spring.

Speaker 13 (38:45):
They've got parades, live music, carnival rides. But this year
is a little bit different because the theme is regeneration
and it's all about springing back Hastings. Obviously, we know
that the area was devastated with the flood.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
We're just losing you there, Mane. You keep going, you
keep going, and we piece some of it together, not
all of it. But yeah, So.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
There's a blossom festival and a burnout competition happening in Hastings.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
That's what I got from it.

Speaker 9 (39:19):
So yeah, but it's the iconic spring festival, but it's

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Wholesome content from Haley this week now Connor, she's coming

Speaker 4 (40:15):
What have you got on the south Snow.

Speaker 10 (40:18):
We've got snow guys from Mount Hatton down into Myth
and they're bringing a bunch of snowdown call a street
style rail jump session with DJ, live music, food trucks,
a whole bunch going on, fireworks to end the night
and Myth and there it's going to be an awesome weekend.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
There's been snow and hart this week, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (40:37):
Yeah, it has been.

Speaker 10 (40:38):
They've actually got some snow after I'm sadly for example,
Porter's Path, which is the closest keep build to Christis,
they had to close earlier this season because we had
that really warm spat of weather for a bit there,
so no good to see.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
They've got some snow and what else is happening in
the south there, Connor.

Speaker 10 (40:52):
Sticking with the snow theme, we go to Queens and Remarkables, beautiful, remarkable.
This is the rent Ball home run, so people dress up.
You would have seen overseas people dress up all those
crazy costumes and ride thing like you know, they'll make
little almost the airplanes they jump. Oh yeah, so it's similar,
but it's on snow. So everyone gets three stuff in

(41:14):
these crazy costumes, SpongeBob, spacemen, and then they have to
run as fast as they can down a segment of remarkables,
get on their skis, get on their snowboards, and then
have to essentially dodge a bunch of red Bull based
obstacles that have been placed along the skia field and
the first to the bottom of the mountain when there's
actually a limpy in the gamers as well.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Who's a plane on top of them right at the airport.

Speaker 9 (41:39):
I'm live from the Wellington Waterfront. It doesn't get much
more authentic than this going on, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
There's a lot going on around the country as well,
some great options this weekends. But I'm going to go
out there and give it to Hailey this weekend.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Condolences with you, Haley, Hey Connor Haley, thanks so much

Speaker 5 (42:13):
Week The hits that johonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Pizza Heart's been in New Zealand for fifty years and
they're doing a special pop up or you could eat
Pizzahart just for a few days. Only sold out within minutes.
But we're looking because it's, you know, getting a bit
nostalgic on Pizza Hut and all you can eat. They've
released a or someone's put out a menu from the
nineteen eighties from Pizza Hut in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
And it's interesting to look back at the prices.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
It was a simpler time, you know. It was where
coffee was black or white, you know, and if you
were lactose intolerant you were considered weak in character. And
the milkley came from two sources, cows and your mother's busies.
Back in those days, it was it.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
But you're looking at the prices and I get it
was the eighties, but it is it's just really interesting
to look back at it.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
I mean, but you talk about the drinks as well.
You know, just the wine.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
There's the dry, white, the medium, you know, the reds.
It wasn't many wine options. Weren't getting into the peanut.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
White, white and medium.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
It's kind of going off the There was no sevs
or you know, no.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
Talk about it dry like a shadi.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
But do you wouldn't judge if your wine came in
a second side of cowdboard box, you know, either would you?

Speaker 3 (43:24):
You can still get those.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
You can get a glass or craft, but a glass
of wine. That pizza in the eighties a dollar fifty,
a dollar fifty. You want a beer, you want to beer,
you want a draft or a lager dollars sixty's.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
But that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
So they don't even have brands beer. They're just saying
draft or lager lager.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Or draft chilled dollar sixty served in a handle for
a dollar sixty as well? Wow, you know, like food, well,
what else is it? You get soup for a dollar
eighty five? French fries or the French fries dollar sixty?

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Do they have like a coke or like fizzy drink?

Speaker 4 (43:59):
Yes? Do you want a regular or a jumbo regular? Dollar?
You know you're not working that, right, I remember the
jumper jumpo a dollar fifty. A dollar fifty is.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
The same price as of wine.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
Milk you get milk sixty cents milk sixty.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
The pizza is probably interesting thing because obviously you go
there for the pizza, and the pizza prices varies, but
around it starts from eleven dollars forty five, which in
the eighties, you know you can get pizza.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
Now you got to Domino's Pizza. Things like that.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
You're getting meals for like sometimes Pizza's nine ninety five
and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
That seems like, yeah, quite expensive, right.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
It goes up to nineteen dollars fifty five the most
expensive pizza. That's a jumbo serving three to four adults.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
So that's what.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Yeah, the function We got to go to Pizza Hut
for like our birthdays when we were younger, and I
remember my parents saying it was like an expensive choice.
The pizzas were expensive.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Well that's good there, because usually when you look back
at the cost of living, it never makes sure you
never walk out of it feeling better about life, don't you.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Yeah, well they've added this, they've done someone's on the
mass that than New Zion Herald with the current fifteen
percent a GST added justin for inflation, the price and
ninety eight six for pizza comes to thirty six dollars
fifty two in today's world.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
So pizza. Yeah, so we're.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Getting pictures cheaper, but beer and wine unfortunately, we're not
getting a dollar fifty glasses.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Of beer and wine just the price of beer or
not not that My damn, I've seen what do we
chet this out there?

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Okay, where are you getting the cheapest we'll go lunch
or dinner from? Okay, where you're getting the cheapest meal
from nowadays? Surely there's some I reckon you get some
nine to ninety five. All you can Eat is out there.
I reckon, there's still sifting around two dollars Rice.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
And christ Chest Don't we used to get that back
in the day.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
Still there the reckoning road.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
The iconicsw on they're still doing two dollars Rice as
well Rice, great.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
Uncle Ben even Uncle Ben is like, you know, this
isn't commercially bible. The cheapest So the cheapest lunch or dinner.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Cheap is lunchal dinner, cheapest meal out there. It could
be a bakery, just as a tiny little restaurant that
you've found.

Seven hats That johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
We'll getting a nostalgic on your Friday talking about pizza
Oh you can eat back in the day and looking
at the menu from nineteen eighty from Pizza Hut. Amazing
the things that you could buy for just a dollar
sixty Yeah, yeah, glass one glass of beer.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
We're trying to figure out because it was you know,
it was all marketed on the witness of the wine,
whether you want to dry, medium witness or full weakness,
and they were actually representative of the wines.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
You have nowadays.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
It drys like a shadi or a salve, and a
medium's like a peenugree or a reasling.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
I can't get a head around the eighties. I can't
get a hit around there.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Dry how winters it this medium lag it for me
and the missus will have a dry white wine.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Hey, you bagging dollar fifty?

Speaker 4 (46:56):
Is that what you want? I no know, she's not
even ordering for herself.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, pretty incredible Brandy snaps on the menu that they
seemed like an iconic eighties nineties sort of.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
They filled them with the cream because you know how
like you put the cream in one side and then
you have to blow it through.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Yeah, I think they at the Beck.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Yeah, they would have come with the cream inside the
three dollars fifty for some Brandy snaps as well, sh
cocktail for an entree or the nostalgia.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
I love any I loved a Brandy snap back of
the day too. But you leave them too long.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
They got soggy, didn't They're they're on a timer.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
Was any blowing the cream through?

Speaker 2 (47:28):
She had a piper, she had a cream blower. She
had like a she'd put the cream in a sick
and you're like squeezing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it came
out like a little like if you're doing plastering or grouting.
