Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Jon would be in podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, that's us broad to you by Hello Fresh the
experts and tastes that kiwis laying. We wanted to have
our own torch ceremony, anything to do with what's going
on in another part of the world.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Just because we thought it would be nice to do.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So we got a dolphin torch from the office. We
don't know how old the batteries are. We thought we'd
put it on a live stream on Wednesday and you
could predict when the batteries were going to run out,
and if you predict correctly the exact time and the day,
you would win five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm looking at it now. If anything, it's getting brighter.
It's becoming stronger the longer we leave it on.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, so Wednesday, we thought maybe it'd be wrapped up
by the weekend. But it's been going strong. It has
no signs of fading, really, and it got us quite worried.
You say that this thing could just drag on and
drag on, and to the point that we even we
even rang ever ready and spoke to someone there from
the battery place.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Is there an end in sight? Will it be done
by the weekend. That's our major concern.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I don't think so. I think it's going to keep going.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
It's going to keep you there. It does say that
they should last up to sixty five hours.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
Oh isn't that three days?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, so maybe the dolphin. Does the dolphin make it
last longer?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, right, Okay, so we're looking maybe a Friday r
finish at the end of the torch ceremony.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The problem was when we put the live stream on Facebook,
I keep getting shut down. I think they thought we
were bots because not much was actually happening, you know,
like nothing was really going on other than just the light,
so they keep shutting down.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
They tried to put his feet in there, just just
to mix things up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So we had to take it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We've got two strikes, We've got two warnings from Facebook,
so we've now had to take it off there, and
last night I had to take it home babysit. A
torch kind of felt like when you know, at school
and they'd sit home the animal from the class and
the weekend.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
The gig that you're not allowed to break.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Almost sister had a tema guccie or tamagotchi where they're
called it. It was like one of those things. I
was like, I've got a babysit of torch all night.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, so it spreading the babysitting duties over the weekend
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Keeping an eye on it to see when it's gonna
It's quite a big responsibility because you want to know
exact sickend that it's going on.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So I haven't turned it off, I haven't touched it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's cash on the line.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I even took it for a walk with a dog
in the afternoon. Was like looking at me like is
he walking with a torch. It's like it's like the
middle of the day. You didn't know when it can
get And my kids they got in the car after
school yesterday they were very confused why I had a
torch and what was going on.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
That's that's so random, say, that's so stupid.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
Was a stupid because you're going to stay up during
the night watching a torch waiting for its time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We had it on live stream at work. But anyway,
long story, sure, I'll set up a camera to night.
No one wants to watch a tor No, but people
want to win money.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, look it's too late now, we're just committed to it. No,
don't tut it off.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yes, they really just wanted to turn it off.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
They could then and then that evening we had planned
to go to Disney on Ice as well. And guess
what came with us to Disney on Ice, getting to
Disney on Ice and what's coming with us. Yeah, it's
give me safe at the moments so far, it's it's
quite handy, but I measure as we get closer to
the door.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
People around, so we don't feel like.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You would have been a bit anxious about putting the
torch into Mickey's eyes that Dosney on him skating into
Donald's beakery that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Like I was smuggling in something, you know, weird.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
You timically were a torch on.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And I kind of like lifted on the floor, you know,
so we could see it because shining just a little
bit when I look underneath, but I clink it wasn't
shining out directly into the ice skater's eyes or anything.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Security're like, you haven't got a professional license.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Grid guy's taking.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
A torch that's left.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
So yeah, I love that they called it torchy.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You might miss it and make me take it home
over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
You guys are family now, mate, You.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Guys have done twenty rows of thoughts. You even said
up a live stream camera. A little hand came last night.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
A face on it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You can take it. I'm I'm going to dress.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It up over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So yeah, you can catch up with it the heats
breakfast on Facebook. If you want to protect when it
will we can still you can still vote for when
it's going to run out of battery, and you can
still win.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
The heads that Johnaan Ben Podka.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's your question. I witness something yesterday was at an
event and there was a guy in I would say
early twenties. He was seated. Yes, now, there was a
lady and I don't want to age shame, but I'm
picking sort of late forties, knocking on the door of
the fifties. She's standing. He said, I'll stand up, you
(04:24):
can take my seat. Oh it's nice, it's nice. It's nice.
Chivalry level nine thousand. I thought, witnessing that you don't
see much of it nowadays. And then she said he
was kind of like, you take the seat. I don't
need it, and then she responded with no, thank you,
I'm fine, and remained standing, felt grumpy, felt like he
(04:52):
was giving up a seat for an elderly person. To her,
I think she was probably feeling like, or does he
believe that because of my genetic make my legs weaker
and can't stand for longer? The question being, are we
still obliged to give up our seat and open doors
for your mob.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Females? Yeah, I don't think so. I like, with the
exception of when someone's pregnant, because you know that's carrying
a load. No, sorry, Taylor, pro Taylor, come on in here, mate,
and elderly people. But I think if it's just just
(05:32):
a woman, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's nice to I feel like in this situation, that's
nice that asked.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I think it's nice too.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, so you're not going to be offended, but you're
not going to take him up on the offer.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
No, because we're fighting for like gender equality all the time, right,
and so I just think it's a little bit hypocritical
to then be like, oh, he has to give up
a seat for me.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You know, now, Taylor, Uh, you had some great news,
so big news yesterday. Yep.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Heavy load. I mean, like it just it feels heavy
and uncomfortable and your feets well and all of that.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Well.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
I was actually on a bus not too long ago,
about four weeks ago, back in Sydney. I had to
catch a bus from the airport to the plane on
the tarmac and I was standing up, and mate, can
I tell you every single person that took a seat
copped a filthy look for me.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You wanted to be off at a seat?
Speaker 10 (06:22):
Yeah, because my back, mate, my back is going through
some things at the moment. So to have to stand
for like forty five minutes, because that's how long it was.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
I was like, surely someone's gonna notice. But then I
took it as a compliment because I was like, well,
maybe I don't think I'm pregnant.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Maybe I don't see it. You look, you don't look.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
No mixed emotions on that way. Yes, So you're fighting
for equality. And then you told me. You say, like
you made me walk, you know, ten kilometers to go
see titty shut right, and you knew I was pregnant.
That's equality, mate.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I mean I took a lot of subways and the
buses overseas, and I find if it was busy, I
just stand up regardless. I wouldn't try and sit down
or just stand up and leave the seat. But if
it was but if it was quiet, then obviously i'd
take a set. And then I'm kind of like, yeah,
it's gonna be busy, I'll just stand up. And I
love walking, but.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
I've been like, when I've been heavily pregnant, people don't
give up your seat for you.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
No, no, oh yeah I.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Do that me and all women like it. Blew my mind.
When I was like hivily pregnant, people would still push
past you. And I was like, come.
Speaker 10 (07:26):
On, I was doing the stomach holding a crater, just
waiting for someone to like, here you go. But you
know what these ship is these days? Everyone's got bloody
headphones in there.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
What's wrong with their eyes? Though?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
True?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Hey, very true.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
I reckon I could do that even now. Just push
out my stomach and be like, oh.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I could do that elderly and pregnant. That's the rule.
Hold the doors open for everyone that Johan being pop cast.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
The Olympics are wrapping up this weekend. It's been incredible
and we cross live to the New Zealand Hero reporter
Shriek eir.
Speaker 11 (08:08):
Bon.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Sure, how are you going?
Speaker 11 (08:13):
You do?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Pick up bits and pieces.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
But it really amazes you how much you can communicate
just by body language that you can kind of figure
out what people are saying.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
But I wouldn't say my French is fantesta.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I do remember going to a restaurant many years ago
in France and the lady was acting lovely. She was
acting out like mooing, and you know, because I didn't
know the resk, I was like, I want to order something,
and she was like goat noise and.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All sorts of stuff. I was like, very good. It
was like a little game with charade that was great and.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
We all know. Thank you. Was like messy, but you
don't want to like, you don't want to go mercy.
You don't want to say it because they take the
purse out of your accent.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Yeah, it's funny when you try and speak a bit
of French to them and they just reply to you
in English and you're like, oh, they're like butchering.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
This really good twenty four hours for New Zealand a
couple of gold medals.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Yeah, it was fantastic. I was lucky enough to be
down to watch the k for women's team, led by
Dame Lisa Carrington down on the water and watch them
race to gold which was just incredible, and then bronze
in our mixed multi hall team Bear and then just
now we had another gold in the track cycling from
Elise Andrews.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
So it's just been a metal blitz this morning.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
What's that because ninety only three games was at Los Angeles.
I know I brushed across that. That was our biggest
middle hall. How many are we looking to pull in here?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, no, I believe you're right. Let me have a
quick look.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Four against even numbers.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
But it's looking so good in front of the journalists.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Well, we've got thirteen medals at the moment, five of gold,
which is very impressive. But there are still a few
events left that we can meddle. We've actually got some
more track cycling coming up, obviously Lisa Carrington again in
action tonight New Zealand time, so there's another medal there potentially,
and there's also a little bit of athletics left too,
so who knows we could be and for a pretty
(10:14):
good haul.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, they had eight golds in eighty four in Los Angeles.
There's got thirteen medals in total in the nineteen eighty
eight ones and sold thirteen in London twenty sixteen, and
Rio they had eighteen.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah, well we're getting pretty close.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It was are you going to miss it?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Because you know how hard you've been working over you know,
you're pretty much a one stop shop for the New
Zealand Herald, you're filming, you're traveling around by yourself, you're
enter being athletes. I'm sure it's busy work and amazing work,
but are you going to miss it?
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Yeah, there's definitely quite a high of the Olympics, and
some of US media where chatting East and we were saying,
it's kind of like you get a bit of a
taste of what the athletes feel in terms of that
sort of post event depression.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I think, you know, I think you go back into the.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Real world again and you're like, oh okay, everything kind
of slows right down, and it's kind of like you're
coming off a high. So yeah, I think return into
the office and getting back into the day today is
going to be sort of weird again after the sort
of craziness and the really unique experiences that you get
covering the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Do you think it was successful enough that they'll do
another one in four years, I hope. So that's good. Now,
a couple of questions. Firstly, who's your athlete best friend,
someone that you've struck a chord with and you have
a good relationship.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Good question, That is a very good question.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I've been lucky to meet a number of athletes here
at the Games.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I really got on with Hayden Wild from the triathlon.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
He did well.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
He's a very cool. Yeah, he's a really cool guy
and we had some good yarns.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
He came and hung out at New Zealand House and
we all took photos with him and his medals, and yeah,
he was very very cool.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
And I've actually hung out with Jacko Girl previously before.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
I did an interview with him leading up into the Games,
and that was quite cool to meet him and his family,
and you know, he's kind of quiet and people don't
always know too much about him, but once you get
to know him, he's actually a very very cool person,
very interesting and quirky guys.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Anyone named Jacko is always always going to be a
good time.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We brought it up to you a couple of days
ago our torch ceremony that where we turn on a
torch on Wednesday, New Zealand time. We wanted to see
when the batteries are run out. We know that they're
not new batteries. I know there's probably a lot of
chatter going on in Paris, so I just wanted to
tell you it's still going.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Three days later, we have not turned it off. It's
still going.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I had to take it home last night because our
live stream kept cutting out because of Facebook.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Wow. So my prediction of a week's not that, Dad.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
You might be right. We're branding this undertaking.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
We thought it'd be wrapped up by the weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It doesn't look like it's going to be past that
went on to the IOC officials with the battery torch
is still going strong.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Let them know that.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
Johna wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
My son's in the middle of he's got like two
weeks of music. He plays drums in the school bands
and the head little breaks. So I'll pick you up.
I'll take you to get some foods. So went into
burg if you we ran into a lady that we
knew for school. She's quite hard case and I'm wearing
what would be described as active leisure.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Weird describe it.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Don't please don't tell me you're wearing the tights.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, that's what I think of actively, right, Yeah, No,
like just like treck pens sports shoes and like a
kind of more or less like run of the mill,
just like wait, flopping around the house sort of like
don't go out with them, but we're there at home.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Well this was this is where our conversation started.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Now I know you're right man, And it's just like
it's lulul la mon and things like that.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
I thought you were wearing you Lulu la mon with
like no shorts over top.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I can be active in these pins, surely active were
is just something that you.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Can be opposite.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
This is the opposite to me is give it up
on me, and I'm feeling active, okay, and gray. Now
they're black, but they're black sort of waterproofy sort of material,
you know that stuff that you know, the nineties material
that was very popular. But she goes to me, oh,
have you just been exercising? I said no. She said,
are you going to go and do some exercise? So
(14:03):
I said no. She said, will you look like you're
either just finished or about to, you know, engage in
some exercise. I'm well, no, no, I'm just here in
my trek pens hitting a burger, and she's My rules
are no active wear unless you're being active, have been active,
or planning on being actor. It's fair enough? Was it?
Was it a rule?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Is that what you're Yeah, but you're to me, you're
in the the slob class the house like that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
That's probably my rule with that.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, you wouldn't wear trek pens out in public if
I'm walking the dog or doing something like.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, if I'm doing that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
That's the joy of wearing stuff like that. It looks
like you've done exercise, but you haven't done it. It's
the ultimate life act. You're coming to hearing your bloody
your fancy workout gear, Meghan. Everyone would be like, damn,
she's a fitness person.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
The only time I would do that, though, is She's
right if I was about to go to the gym
light straight after the show, and I would near not.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
With that clothes. See producer Taylor's wearing a track shit today.
She could call her when she's pregnant, a.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Slop coming here, coming to.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Your slops wearing a blazer up being.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Thinks you're a slop for wearing your mate.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Can I just say I bought this track suit when
I wasn't impregnant. But I wasn't pregnant, I wore all
the time.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, but that's quite a truty track suit.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
The pregnant woman. Some more beIN.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You're trendy.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
I think there's probably a price difference between the two.
Speaker 10 (15:26):
And I'm lost, like, way prettier than you don't have.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You've got domes down the side that you can rip off.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
You don't have stripping pans today. You should because you're pregnant.
They need to come off at any time. My stomach
that I'm giving.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Birth, the heads that John and Ben podcasts loving the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I don't know what we're going to do next week
when it's all overdone with, just sit here in silence.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Paralympic.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's right, that's.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Scaring on of course I've got that's awesome, great stuff.
That's great.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Way back into that I was feeling I was gonna
get withdrawals from the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
That's great, another two weeks worth. When you think about
the Perilym books, I think there's more impressive than the
act Wilder stuff they're doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Kicks in as well.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Another couple of great medals for New Zealand overnight we've
got gold and the K four and the canoeing and
Alise Andrews as well. In the cycling she got a
gold as well. We've got a bronze as well, so
pretty impressive. Middle Talley fans.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It was the Canadian pole vault is in a bit
of hot water.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
She came, she got third and she has an only
fans account, which is fine, but then people are upset
because when she won bronze, who celebrated by twerking I
was not appropriate.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well, it's not appropriate. You should be paying for their content.
So I'm a subscriber and I don't just hand it
out for free.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
We get away for will Now. It's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There's been so many great moments from the Olympics, and
one in particular was a young skateboarder fourteen years old
from a Australia arrest is true is her name, and
fourteen to one gold.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
It's amazing. What Yeah, I think I was like if
I was fourteen and one gold, you'd be like, now
we're too, It's like.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Peak something else.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I have a theory when it comes to skateboarding and
stuff too. Kids have less fear. You know, the older
you get, you think about consequences, you know, forty four
year old or the skateboards. A man, if I take this,
I'm going to have to have five weeks off work,
acc claim. Fourteen year old's not worried about that stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And it was such a fourteen year old answer as well.
She was talking on Australian News about her parents and
what if she won gold, what she wanted to get
and never listened to this.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
So how does a fourteen year old want to celebrate
becoming the Olympic champ?
Speaker 11 (17:47):
You have to ask for my parents if I like won,
was if I could get a pet duck because duck's
a really cute and I really wanted a pet duck.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
She wants a pet duck.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
She sounds like a times Is this she the youngest
gold middle woudo.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Or maybe yes, she's not the youngest competitor but at
the game so no, I.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Think it was like, isn't he like an eleven year
old Russian back in the day gymnast who.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Won gold checked up on steroids?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Do you think the fact that she got offered a
duck from her parents, and you know, the bribery helped her.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Maybe absolutely, kids thrive off bribery, and it's never too
early to do educate your children on the bribery system
as well. You know, ice creams, fatty foods, you know,
small denominations of hush money works well with the kids.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I remember when I was doing like exams back in
high school, there were kids who were like, every a
they got or whatever, their parents would give them money. Really, yeah,
my parents were not having it.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
My mom more though, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
She my mom smoked for a little bit, and she
hated the fact that she smoked, and so she stopped.
She was really hard to stop. She's like, I don't
even want your smoking. I'll pay you fifty bucks a year,
so not smoking.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
A salary for Yeah, I had no real interest in smoking.
I was like, great, take the money.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Would you get an installments or at one payment of
the India of the year that I hadn't know it
was it an honesty policy, how I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It was, but in some ways, but I didn't really
have a really interest. I was like, great, give me
your money. So it was bribing me not smoke. Amazing, jeez.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I eight hundre the hats. Okay, will you bribed as
a child? Are you bribing children? Now? Your children probably
don't brob other children. If you're bribing other children, we
don't want to hear those calls for even oh eight hundred.
The heats love to get your bribery stories on because
it works a treat. Bribery it does against results. If
that four year old, a fourteen year old hadn't been
promised the carrot dangling duck at the end of the ta,
(19:37):
she probably wouldn't have even place. She's like, what's it
God be to a fourteen year old? But a cute
pit duck? Yeah, what's the point?
Speaker 9 (19:43):
The hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Talking parent bribes. After the Australian, the fourteen year old
who won gold in the skateboarding she was incredible, asked
for a pit duck if she won, and their parents said,
if you wouldn't gold, you'll get a pit duck.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
So how does a fourteen year old want to celebrate
becoming the Olympic chure?
Speaker 11 (20:00):
You have to ask for my parents if I, like
one was if I could get a pet duck because
ducks are really cute and I really wanted a pet duck.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
She's so so young, she's want a gold medal?
Speaker 6 (20:11):
John, how does that make you feel?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Let's put an age lemon and kids entering the Olympics.
I reckon because it makes you feel old. She's good
enough obviously the world.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
I just think she could have asked for something more.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Well, yeah, right, a gold medal, but maybe a duck.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's important to her. For a fourteen year old, a
duck's to dream. That's all you want to duck.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
As a parent, I'm like, oh, duck, you aren't you
going to clean up? The Duck's not gonna be toilet trained.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
It's gonna you know, tasty, tasty. If you like ducks,
you think, think, yeah, so there's an like you can't
eat a puppy when they move out of home. But
you know, once this little girl moves out of home,
you couldn't. You couldn't eat a pet duck.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I'm sure this farm is probably now, and don't see
telling me otherwise. My parent bribes to this morning old
Andrew the heads four four eight s.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Even you easily bribeaball as an adult, probably totally.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
There's not much I won't do for very little, really, easily.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It would be terrible, terrible government officials. I will take
you out for a free buffet lunch to put the
pro smoking in school's bills through and we're okay, yeah, great.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Seafood based officer anything. I wouldn't be good for any
of those jobs.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Let's get Xandra on welcome. You're employing the bribing system
in your household Sandy, Oh, we're losing it.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Sorry, can you hear me?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, now we can mate. What are you bribing your
kids for?
Speaker 12 (21:41):
So in my wisdom, I decided to have four children.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
And three of those.
Speaker 13 (21:46):
Age and they all played rugby at one day, the
two boys one girl side of it.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
They went there teen on going out.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Because of the weather that said the luck you've got
to go to team sport. I will give you five
dollars if you get a try.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
So little mister eleven year old.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Scot six trive.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
And then the other two got a couple of each
as well. So at the end of the day I
ended up paying sixty bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
My friend did the same thing to her, so it's
like it was ten bucks to try and the sunlight
I think scored like five or six in a match
and he was like after game was ily talked about
passing it mane not being too greedy, you know, indeed
costing him a lot of and there's no money in
my bank account.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Now London, good morning to you.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Hi.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
How's it going?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Oh Linda, we are doing really well this morning. Have
you been bribed or have you done the bribing?
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You're getting all the bad mother stories.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I feel judgment here, judgment. What's what's your what's your
bribery story?
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Similar to that one before four kids. First boy played cricket,
sat on the sideline for ether in the boring hot
sun with a new with a new baby, turn away
for two minutes and you're mister act right. So then
third run second son came along and he wanted to
(23:13):
sign up to cricket because all his friends were doing
that and he's very, very active, and so I paid
him five dollars not to join.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Hey, hey, amen, amen, Linda, cricket is a commitment, is it?
You were a cricket man.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well you're back Back then it was there was no
real sort of twenty twenty twenty over games. So my
mom she dropped off and go. She was like, I'm
not going to spend you know't coming for pockets, but.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
You know it should be illegal.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It should be illegal. Cricket should be illegal.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
It's a great I love you London, London.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You wouldn't have liked raising Ben. He was cricket. He
had wandered down the street and his cricket white. There
were those of civilian clothes, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
My boy wandered down this. Try to wander down the
street naked with his gum bats on all the time.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
You know, okay, we're what do you think You're a
bad pairent. Let's not double down this.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Morning, great Texas. To finish, I've got three teenage boys.
Give them twenty bucks each a week not to get detention.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's great, Like how terrible are your kids? You just
pretend to be good. It's a good till three pm. Judgment,
no judgment.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
What you need to do to make it work.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
The hits that John and Ben.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Podcast night when long out Disney are nice, which is great,
But we're running a bit late after everyone got home
from various things in the evening and you have to
you know, when you're in a panic, you get parking lot.
Just got to park at the next best, the first
available spot and went into like a private parking building
twenty bucks, twenty.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Bucks, and I was like, oh, I guess.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
But at the same time, that's the event parking building,
so they know, like you need to park by the
arena and it's a flat.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Fi super close, but it was close enough.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Sometimes a piece of your soul dies as you pay
twenty three dollars for ten minutes parking. Oh no, yeah,
but hey, parking, we want to know the cheapest parking
in New Zealand. There must be free parking out there
in some gorgeous town. I remember driving I can't remember
with the town and some of the North Island it was.
I think that we haven't got much, but we have
(25:12):
free parking. Yeah, well that's great. That's a great tourist hook.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
That's great park Then what.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I can't go out and see anything, But.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I've never had that before.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You have a theory, and I don't think you're doing
it anymore right when you would not pay for parking.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
No, still still strongly, still.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Strongly back parking tickets. He gets sent to.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Will balance itself out. It definitely does not. I don't
pay end of the year. If you did, if you don't,
if you add the numbers up of what you would
pay for parking with the fines.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
When you win, they when you will you ever win?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
They have a lost. That's the sort of however the
technology advancements and ticketing have referred. That's where I am
starting to get stung a bit more. With this car
that goes around with thirty nine cameras on it, they
don't have to get to the car.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I didn't know that was a thing. Yeah, that's I'm
always like, it's raining, the parking wardens aren't going to
walk around in the rain.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Now they've got the cars, the terminated ticketing tank.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
You also one of those getting it's actually worked. The
other day one of those was getting towed one of
the councils and.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
People were apt.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
And maybe it had broken down, who knows, but just
look like the toe truck driver come along, go you
cut park here, mate from the council.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And Joe passed once and I gave it the burden
Ben tick grow.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Up, you like, pull the fingers at this poor persons
driving along like this.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I didn't do it to the person camera. He doesn't
know that.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Nothing sums the two of you up more than that scenario.
It's like the guy the.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Poor guy looked over, is you're pulling for the cameras?
He's like, I don't know that, just like getting if
you went to your work and people.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Do actually terrible example every day. Have you ever paid
for free parking? No, we know you wouldn't have because
it was free, but Nelson wouldn't charge im Nelson.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
At the moment, I think it is like two dollars
an hour, But I used to go home and be
like fifty cents an hour and I was like amazing, Wow,
yeah the city too.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Okay, So where are you? Where are you right now listening?
And what is parking cost you?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
The cheapest? There must be zero dollar parking out there somewhere.
It is kind of like when you think about parking,
it's like you're investing in a tiny little piece of
real estate for a short period of time. Yeah, for
a couple of minutes.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
In my demand, that's you know, supply and demand. It's
economic stuff.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
The hits that John wan Ben podcast tell.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You what you could pay for all the parking you
wanted with forty four million dollars. We're after New Zealand's
cheapest parking this morning. No. Eight hundred the HiT's been
boys extorted by the parking industry. When you go into
the private buildings, you're kind of you know.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
What you yah, it happened.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
They're like, welcome, Welcome to Eler.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
There was something going on. I think it was at
the Warriors like last year, remember that news article and
someone was just going along on a hypers vest and
just going and go, hey, you can park here, and
buildings around your businesses around there that weren't this. They're like, yeah,
twenty bucks, twenty bucks parking. And then they just scup
at the end of the day and someone got toad
from there and they're like, but I gave Twitter buckshis.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
No one questions.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Maybe we should.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Partly can't be angry because that's just it is.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah, that is very entrepreneurial.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
I have to make an apology to the nowsonians. I
said it was two dollars an hour in the city.
My dad has said the first hour is free. Just
by the way, it's here only there for an hour.
It's free in.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Nelson City, okay, Wayno, he means you're making use of
that first hour free parking, surely, which is a great
thing to pull people into the centers. Of towns in
the cities. Isn't now for free parking because it probably
just turns you off if you have to pay. But yeah,
New Zealand chiefs parking, let's get that. Let's get this
out there. Fae, good morning to you.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Hey, how are you?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Can you tell her we're doing really well? Face? It's
lovely to hear your adults at tones. Where are you from?
Where's how much is the parking?
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (28:58):
Mo?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Two dollars? The first two hours are free, and the cbd.
But but if you move along to another car back
and you think you're going to get another two hours free,
they find you.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So don't I always wondered that if you were in
a position and you got in your car just before
it ran out, and you drove around the block and
packed again.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
They find you.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
What if I went home and realized I forgot something
and I went back.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You've still used your two hour parking free, So two
hours a day, it doesn't It doesn't explain. It doesn't
explain that, and a lot of people get caught out.
And my daughter and I went shopping in five streets
in Hamilton. We've been there every weekend and never got fined.
But this weekend, we went and parked over the hour.
(29:47):
Two days later I got a fine for eighty five dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
They make up for it, don't they get the ticket yet?
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Well no, because I hadn't. I hadn't put the disability
sticker on, displayed it so then and they canceled the tickets.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Just what a roller coaster of a story.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
So that's why all our people go out to the
base and chart because it's free there.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
You go to me.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We used to get ticket and you get chalked back
when we were by the TV station.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
But then everyone will just go out and just roll
their tires over, just chalk.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah. I was like, I loved the chalk system. Easily beatable,
just a little bit wiping off. I was like, surely
they know that it's the same car, but a right,
So you get the first hour free in the tron,
but watch out if you don't have your disability sticker on,
they'll come for you for sharing free parking. Have you
got it? Oh, I should turn you up share And
(30:46):
she's gone, ah, I know, ruined the phone.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It's all going so well, wasn't it. Bust will be happy.
We can wrap things up a little earlier than normal.
It's back. He does back in, but you can't can.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
And gave you a great house to know you've started.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Now you've got a goal that.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
We have to break into. Our bosses.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Keep it short. I just had an interesting thing, so
I'd like to read out.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
The Hats that johnaan Ben podcast Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
We started a torch.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
We turned on a torch for our torch ceremony here
at the Hats and you could decide when well you
can basically make a prediction when the batteries we're going
to run out, and you can win five hundred dollars
if you do so.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
At the Hats Breakfast something up.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
On the show. Who regrets starting this?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I did? Yesterday we had a crisis meeting because you know,
Facebook like cutting the live stream. We've got two warnings
that were going to end. They're going to shut down
Facebook for the world if we continued on the live stream,
and I was like, oh, this is becoming a bit
of a ball ape. But then we had a crisis
meeting and we got the experts in. Someone from ever
Ready phoned and said how long this torch potentially could
(31:59):
be going going on for it? And it was it
was a long time. Take a listen. Is there an
end in sight? Will it be done by the weekend?
That's our major concern.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I don't think so.
Speaker 12 (32:10):
I think it's going to keep going.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
It's going to keep you there.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
It does say that they should last up to sixty
five hours.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Oh isn't that three days?
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
So maybe yeah the dolphin. Does the dolphin make it
last longer?
Speaker 12 (32:23):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Yeah? Right, Okay, so we're looking maybe a Friday hour
finish at the end of the torch ceremony, and then
I'm taking the longer it goes on, the funnier it is. Yeah,
it's good. But the problem is we can't live stream it.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
No, so we have to keep an eye on it
the whole time because we need to know when it
runs out of battery. So yesterday we're like, well, what
are we going to do? We have one of us
is going to have to take it home keep an
eye on it at all times. It was me yesterday.
We're confused the heck out of my family and my
kids got into the car after school. There was a
torch sitting on the front seat. It was on and
this is the reaction.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
That's so random.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
Would you say in the boat, so stupid.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
What is a stupid because you're going to stay up
during the night watching a torch waiting for its time?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
We headed our live stream at work anyway, long story, Sure,
I'll set up a camera to night.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
No one wants to watch a tor know.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
But people want to win money. Okay, look it's too
late now we're just committed to it.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
No, don't do it off. They just want to turn
it off. My wife comes and signs, go, there's a torch.
And then he took the torch for a lovely night
out to Disney on Ice.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
A great time.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
You ever listened to this hitting to Disney on Ice?
And what's coming with us.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
To Yeah, it's giving out safe at the moments so far,
it's it's quite handy.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But I measure as we get closer to the door.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
And people around, so we don't feel like an it.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah, so it's quite good.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
At night time, you feel okay, you feel comfortable with
the torch walking around because at least it looks like, yeah,
guiding the way when I walk the dog in daylight, everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
That's on as well.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
But anyway, I did it for twenty four hours keipt
tonight and it's still going.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
It's the little torch battery.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
That could great advertisement for the dolphin torch.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Ye have not turned it off. No one's touched it
since Wednsday.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
There was talk that it could go on depending on what.
We don't know, if it's like LED batteries or something
like that. There was some talk of it going on
for seven years. What it can be still going next
time the Olympics come around. Incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
So if you want to like make a prediction when
it's going to roll out, when the batteries are going
to stop, you can do so at the Hats Breakfast
on Facebook and someone will win five hundred dollars at
some stage when it runs out.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Hasn't lessened in brightness? Has it still good?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
To work out which fun of you guys is going
to have it for the next little bit.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
It's kind of like if you're looking after it, it's
kind of like looking after a dying green parent. You're like,
I know it's going to slowly fail at some point,
but I don't know. You can't take your eyes off
and you know you're right. A lot of responsibility. Let
you know when I missed the moment. Either, you want
to be holding their hand exactly.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Exactly the hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
We want to find out which island is having the
best best weekend.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Who's having the best weekends. Yes, we are currently engaged
in the US Serbia semi final basketball game, as USA
just won.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Just what, just what was so close?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Jesus?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
It would have been a huge I mean, Serbia really
good at basketball and they've got Nikola Jokis, but Jesus
would have been a big upset for the Dream Team
to lose.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
And they've just only lost like four points.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Anyway, that's not what we here to do, guys, focus
having the best week Yes, just as exciting as the
semi final and basketball, it's the best weekend. As we
said before, both of these competitors training four years for
this moment. Right now. Hailey from the Hits of Wellington,
good morning, how are you?
Speaker 13 (35:44):
Oh good? I've chosen kind of a classic Kei we
scene today happening in the North Island. So feeling quietly confident.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Okay, in a little cocky you would say.
Speaker 13 (35:55):
Yeah, yeah, well I let's back it up now. We've
got a sausage making workshop which is kind of classically
key We in Mount Monganui where you can go tomorrow,
you can rock up and you can make kind of
the classic sausages, or you can make kind of wacky flavors.
But it was going to ask you, guys, I mean,
obviously you've branched down on chips, you haven't yet done
(36:16):
sausage flavors.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
No, I've never gone into the sausage came. We've sold
our sal to many different products on the supermarket shelf
over the years.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
You said chips. Immediately I thought of like a nacho sausage.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yum, that would be nice. I don't know if I
want to think too hard about what goes into a sausage.
Let's just like, yeah, well there we go.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
Potentially could stay your soul to a sausage if radio
gig doesn't work out.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It feels like you're just putting something over a giant
piece of contraception, aren't you when you're making a sausage.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Sure, sausage like that?
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (36:51):
Okay, Well suddenly I'm not feeling as confident.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Okay, sausage, but sausages going on?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Anything else in the north its.
Speaker 13 (37:01):
Same, Well the other this one doesn't sound fun to me,
but it's right up some people's alleys, tough guy, and
we're Stalkland and CUMU is happening tomorrow. So it's twelve
k's of off road running. They've got swamp, swamp crossing,
spider web, neck rawls, I've got heaps of mud, barbed wire,
you name it. So people are going to get crazy
(37:22):
and going to get muddy at that, and we Stalklands.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
The barboy seem is very unnecessary.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Yeah, it seems.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Yeah, I feel like that's a lawsuit waiting to sounds
like punishment.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Yeah, I mean it already sounds hard enough. And you're like, oh, well,
checks and barbed wire in there as well.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Okay, so lot's going on sausages and barbed wire in
the North.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
What about in the South?
Speaker 12 (37:41):
Kyoda, Good morning, Kyodo, morning guys. We're keeping it low
key this weekend in the South Island. We'd likely to
join us for an evening of curtain music meditation at
the Saint Peter's Church Hall in Queenstown.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
You don't get any lower key, do you? No?
Speaker 12 (37:58):

Speaker 9 (38:02):
Are doing this on a saturdayday night.
Speaker 12 (38:04):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know. I've just I've
already just realized that while rereading this out, I'm not
gonna line you a place of enter peace, happiness and relaxation,
don for You're right, that's what everyone thinks about Queenstown, right.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah, well you're not going to get there on a
Saturday night in Queenstown? Are you in the peace and relaxation?
You did? Right? No?
Speaker 12 (38:22):
And we're chopping it off with a wine and create
tea lights house evening. How does this sound? And have
beautiful Nelson there?
Speaker 3 (38:32):
You know how it sounds. It sounds. It sounds like
you're reaching this week. Oh no, not me, not me
who got meditation evening.
Speaker 6 (38:40):
He's bribing me with wine and Nelson, my hometown.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Bailey didn't even go with the all blacks that are
playing in the Wellington Saturday nights.
Speaker 13 (38:48):
I know. That's how confident I was about the cottages,
kind of confidence.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Making them barbo. Okay, now I'm making you need to
decide which island is having to be a sweek in.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Well I mean, I'm from Nelson and I was like wine,
but I also really liked the idea of the sausages
all blacks in the North. Yeah, I don't know I'm
goin the sausages again.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
I'm gonna I'm gonna think of the sausages, handy. I'm
gonna give this one to you. I'm going to jump
in here make a decision because yeah, and you got
the all blacks and you didn't mention that as well,
So that's I
Speaker 13 (39:25):
Know, that's how cocky I was.
This Jon would be in podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, that's us broad to you by Hello Fresh the
experts and tastes that kiwis laying. We wanted to have
our own torch ceremony, anything to do with what's going
on in another part of the world.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Just because we thought it would be nice to do.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
So we got a dolphin torch from the office. We
don't know how old the batteries are. We thought we'd
put it on a live stream on Wednesday and you
could predict when the batteries were going to run out,
and if you predict correctly the exact time and the day,
you would win five hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm looking at it now. If anything, it's getting brighter.
It's becoming stronger the longer we leave it on.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, so Wednesday, we thought maybe it'd be wrapped up
by the weekend. But it's been going strong. It has
no signs of fading, really, and it got us quite worried.
You say that this thing could just drag on and
drag on, and to the point that we even we
even rang ever ready and spoke to someone there from
the battery place.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Is there an end in sight? Will it be done
by the weekend. That's our major concern.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I don't think so. I think it's going to keep going.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
It's going to keep you there. It does say that
they should last up to sixty five hours.
Speaker 6 (01:00):
Oh isn't that three days?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, so maybe the dolphin. Does the dolphin make it
last longer?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, right, Okay, so we're looking maybe a Friday r
finish at the end of the torch ceremony.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The problem was when we put the live stream on Facebook,
I keep getting shut down. I think they thought we
were bots because not much was actually happening, you know,
like nothing was really going on other than just the light,
so they keep shutting down.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
They tried to put his feet in there, just just
to mix things up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So we had to take it.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
We've got two strikes, We've got two warnings from Facebook,
so we've now had to take it off there, and
last night I had to take it home babysit. A
torch kind of felt like when you know, at school
and they'd sit home the animal from the class and
the weekend.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
The gig that you're not allowed to break.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Almost sister had a tema guccie or tamagotchi where they're
called it. It was like one of those things. I
was like, I've got a babysit of torch all night.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, so it spreading the babysitting duties over the weekend
as well.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Keeping an eye on it to see when it's gonna
It's quite a big responsibility because you want to know
exact sickend that it's going on.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So I haven't turned it off, I haven't touched it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's cash on the line.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I even took it for a walk with a dog
in the afternoon. Was like looking at me like is
he walking with a torch. It's like it's like the
middle of the day. You didn't know when it can
get And my kids they got in the car after
school yesterday they were very confused why I had a
torch and what was going on.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
That's that's so random, say, that's so stupid.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
Was a stupid because you're going to stay up during
the night watching a torch waiting for its time.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We had it on live stream at work. But anyway,
long story, sure, I'll set up a camera to night.
No one wants to watch a tor No, but people
want to win money.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, look it's too late now, we're just committed to it. No,
don't tut it off.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yes, they really just wanted to turn it off.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
They could then and then that evening we had planned
to go to Disney on Ice as well. And guess
what came with us to Disney on Ice, getting to
Disney on Ice and what's coming with us. Yeah, it's
give me safe at the moments so far, it's it's
quite handy, but I measure as we get closer to
the door.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
People around, so we don't feel like.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You would have been a bit anxious about putting the
torch into Mickey's eyes that Dosney on him skating into
Donald's beakery that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Like I was smuggling in something, you know, weird.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
You timically were a torch on.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And I kind of like lifted on the floor, you know,
so we could see it because shining just a little
bit when I look underneath, but I clink it wasn't
shining out directly into the ice skater's eyes or anything.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Security're like, you haven't got a professional license.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Grid guy's taking.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
A torch that's left.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
So yeah, I love that they called it torchy.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You might miss it and make me take it home
over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
You guys are family now, mate, You.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Guys have done twenty rows of thoughts. You even said
up a live stream camera. A little hand came last night.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
A face on it.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You can take it. I'm I'm going to dress.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It up over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So yeah, you can catch up with it the heats
breakfast on Facebook. If you want to protect when it
will we can still you can still vote for when
it's going to run out of battery, and you can
still win.
Speaker 9 (03:58):
The heads that Johnaan Ben Podka.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
That's your question. I witness something yesterday was at an
event and there was a guy in I would say
early twenties. He was seated. Yes, now, there was a
lady and I don't want to age shame, but I'm
picking sort of late forties, knocking on the door of
the fifties. She's standing. He said, I'll stand up, you
(04:24):
can take my seat. Oh it's nice, it's nice. It's nice.
Chivalry level nine thousand. I thought, witnessing that you don't
see much of it nowadays. And then she said he
was kind of like, you take the seat. I don't
need it, and then she responded with no, thank you,
I'm fine, and remained standing, felt grumpy, felt like he
(04:52):
was giving up a seat for an elderly person. To her,
I think she was probably feeling like, or does he
believe that because of my genetic make my legs weaker
and can't stand for longer? The question being, are we
still obliged to give up our seat and open doors
for your mob.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Females? Yeah, I don't think so. I like, with the
exception of when someone's pregnant, because you know that's carrying
a load. No, sorry, Taylor, pro Taylor, come on in here, mate,
and elderly people. But I think if it's just just
(05:32):
a woman, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's nice to I feel like in this situation, that's
nice that asked.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I think it's nice too.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, so you're not going to be offended, but you're
not going to take him up on the offer.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
No, because we're fighting for like gender equality all the time, right,
and so I just think it's a little bit hypocritical
to then be like, oh, he has to give up
a seat for me.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You know, now, Taylor, Uh, you had some great news,
so big news yesterday. Yep.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Heavy load. I mean, like it just it feels heavy
and uncomfortable and your feets well and all of that.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Well.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
I was actually on a bus not too long ago,
about four weeks ago, back in Sydney. I had to
catch a bus from the airport to the plane on
the tarmac and I was standing up, and mate, can
I tell you every single person that took a seat
copped a filthy look for me.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You wanted to be off at a seat?
Speaker 10 (06:22):
Yeah, because my back, mate, my back is going through
some things at the moment. So to have to stand
for like forty five minutes, because that's how long it was.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
I was like, surely someone's gonna notice. But then I
took it as a compliment because I was like, well,
maybe I don't think I'm pregnant.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Maybe I don't see it. You look, you don't look.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
No mixed emotions on that way. Yes, So you're fighting
for equality. And then you told me. You say, like
you made me walk, you know, ten kilometers to go
see titty shut right, and you knew I was pregnant.
That's equality, mate.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I mean I took a lot of subways and the
buses overseas, and I find if it was busy, I
just stand up regardless. I wouldn't try and sit down
or just stand up and leave the seat. But if
it was but if it was quiet, then obviously i'd
take a set. And then I'm kind of like, yeah,
it's gonna be busy, I'll just stand up. And I
love walking, but.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
I've been like, when I've been heavily pregnant, people don't
give up your seat for you.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
No, no, oh yeah I.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Do that me and all women like it. Blew my mind.
When I was like hivily pregnant, people would still push
past you. And I was like, come.
Speaker 10 (07:26):
On, I was doing the stomach holding a crater, just
waiting for someone to like, here you go. But you
know what these ship is these days? Everyone's got bloody
headphones in there.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
What's wrong with their eyes? Though?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
True?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Hey, very true.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
I reckon I could do that even now. Just push
out my stomach and be like, oh.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I could do that elderly and pregnant. That's the rule.
Hold the doors open for everyone that Johan being pop cast.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
The Olympics are wrapping up this weekend. It's been incredible
and we cross live to the New Zealand Hero reporter
Shriek eir.
Speaker 11 (08:08):
Bon.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Sure, how are you going?
Speaker 11 (08:13):
You do?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
Pick up bits and pieces.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
But it really amazes you how much you can communicate
just by body language that you can kind of figure
out what people are saying.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
But I wouldn't say my French is fantesta.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I do remember going to a restaurant many years ago
in France and the lady was acting lovely. She was
acting out like mooing, and you know, because I didn't
know the resk, I was like, I want to order something,
and she was like goat noise and.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All sorts of stuff. I was like, very good. It
was like a little game with charade that was great and.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
We all know. Thank you. Was like messy, but you
don't want to like, you don't want to go mercy.
You don't want to say it because they take the
purse out of your accent.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Yeah, it's funny when you try and speak a bit
of French to them and they just reply to you
in English and you're like, oh, they're like butchering.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
This really good twenty four hours for New Zealand a
couple of gold medals.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Yeah, it was fantastic. I was lucky enough to be
down to watch the k for women's team, led by
Dame Lisa Carrington down on the water and watch them
race to gold which was just incredible, and then bronze
in our mixed multi hall team Bear and then just
now we had another gold in the track cycling from
Elise Andrews.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
So it's just been a metal blitz this morning.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
What's that because ninety only three games was at Los Angeles.
I know I brushed across that. That was our biggest
middle hall. How many are we looking to pull in here?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, no, I believe you're right. Let me have a
quick look.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Four against even numbers.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
But it's looking so good in front of the journalists.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Well, we've got thirteen medals at the moment, five of gold,
which is very impressive. But there are still a few
events left that we can meddle. We've actually got some
more track cycling coming up, obviously Lisa Carrington again in
action tonight New Zealand time, so there's another medal there potentially,
and there's also a little bit of athletics left too,
so who knows we could be and for a pretty
(10:14):
good haul.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, they had eight golds in eighty four in Los Angeles.
There's got thirteen medals in total in the nineteen eighty
eight ones and sold thirteen in London twenty sixteen, and
Rio they had eighteen.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah, well we're getting pretty close.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It was are you going to miss it?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Because you know how hard you've been working over you know,
you're pretty much a one stop shop for the New
Zealand Herald, you're filming, you're traveling around by yourself, you're
enter being athletes. I'm sure it's busy work and amazing work,
but are you going to miss it?
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Yeah, there's definitely quite a high of the Olympics, and
some of US media where chatting East and we were saying,
it's kind of like you get a bit of a
taste of what the athletes feel in terms of that
sort of post event depression.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I think, you know, I think you go back into the.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Real world again and you're like, oh okay, everything kind
of slows right down, and it's kind of like you're
coming off a high. So yeah, I think return into
the office and getting back into the day today is
going to be sort of weird again after the sort
of craziness and the really unique experiences that you get
covering the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Do you think it was successful enough that they'll do
another one in four years, I hope. So that's good. Now,
a couple of questions. Firstly, who's your athlete best friend,
someone that you've struck a chord with and you have
a good relationship.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Good question, That is a very good question.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I've been lucky to meet a number of athletes here
at the Games.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I really got on with Hayden Wild from the triathlon.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
He did well.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
He's a very cool. Yeah, he's a really cool guy
and we had some good yarns.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
He came and hung out at New Zealand House and
we all took photos with him and his medals, and yeah,
he was very very cool.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
And I've actually hung out with Jacko Girl previously before.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
I did an interview with him leading up into the Games,
and that was quite cool to meet him and his family,
and you know, he's kind of quiet and people don't
always know too much about him, but once you get
to know him, he's actually a very very cool person,
very interesting and quirky guys.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Anyone named Jacko is always always going to be a
good time.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We brought it up to you a couple of days
ago our torch ceremony that where we turn on a
torch on Wednesday, New Zealand time. We wanted to see
when the batteries are run out. We know that they're
not new batteries. I know there's probably a lot of
chatter going on in Paris, so I just wanted to
tell you it's still going.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Three days later, we have not turned it off. It's
still going.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I had to take it home last night because our
live stream kept cutting out because of Facebook.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Wow. So my prediction of a week's not that, Dad.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
You might be right. We're branding this undertaking.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
We thought it'd be wrapped up by the weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It doesn't look like it's going to be past that
went on to the IOC officials with the battery torch
is still going strong.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Let them know that.
Speaker 9 (12:44):
Johna wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
My son's in the middle of he's got like two
weeks of music. He plays drums in the school bands
and the head little breaks. So I'll pick you up.
I'll take you to get some foods. So went into
burg if you we ran into a lady that we
knew for school. She's quite hard case and I'm wearing
what would be described as active leisure.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Weird describe it.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
Don't please don't tell me you're wearing the tights.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, that's what I think of actively, right, Yeah, No,
like just like treck pens sports shoes and like a
kind of more or less like run of the mill,
just like wait, flopping around the house sort of like
don't go out with them, but we're there at home.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Well this was this is where our conversation started.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Now I know you're right man, And it's just like
it's lulul la mon and things like that.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
I thought you were wearing you Lulu la mon with
like no shorts over top.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I can be active in these pins, surely active were
is just something that you.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Can be opposite.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
This is the opposite to me is give it up
on me, and I'm feeling active, okay, and gray. Now
they're black, but they're black sort of waterproofy sort of material,
you know that stuff that you know, the nineties material
that was very popular. But she goes to me, oh,
have you just been exercising? I said no. She said,
are you going to go and do some exercise? So
(14:03):
I said no. She said, will you look like you're
either just finished or about to, you know, engage in
some exercise. I'm well, no, no, I'm just here in
my trek pens hitting a burger, and she's My rules
are no active wear unless you're being active, have been active,
or planning on being actor. It's fair enough? Was it?
Was it a rule?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Is that what you're Yeah, but you're to me, you're
in the the slob class the house like that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
That's probably my rule with that.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, you wouldn't wear trek pens out in public if
I'm walking the dog or doing something like.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah, if I'm doing that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
That's the joy of wearing stuff like that. It looks
like you've done exercise, but you haven't done it. It's
the ultimate life act. You're coming to hearing your bloody
your fancy workout gear, Meghan. Everyone would be like, damn,
she's a fitness person.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
The only time I would do that, though, is She's
right if I was about to go to the gym
light straight after the show, and I would near not.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
With that clothes. See producer Taylor's wearing a track shit today.
She could call her when she's pregnant, a.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Slop coming here, coming to.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Your slops wearing a blazer up being.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Thinks you're a slop for wearing your mate.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Can I just say I bought this track suit when
I wasn't impregnant. But I wasn't pregnant, I wore all
the time.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, but that's quite a truty track suit.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
The pregnant woman. Some more beIN.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
You're trendy.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
I think there's probably a price difference between the two.
Speaker 10 (15:26):
And I'm lost, like, way prettier than you don't have.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You've got domes down the side that you can rip off.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
You know.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
You don't have stripping pans today. You should because you're pregnant.
They need to come off at any time. My stomach
that I'm giving.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Birth, the heads that John and Ben podcasts loving the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I don't know what we're going to do next week
when it's all overdone with, just sit here in silence.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Paralympic.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's right, that's.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Scaring on of course I've got that's awesome, great stuff.
That's great.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Way back into that I was feeling I was gonna
get withdrawals from the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
That's great, another two weeks worth. When you think about
the Perilym books, I think there's more impressive than the
act Wilder stuff they're doing that.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Kicks in as well.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Another couple of great medals for New Zealand overnight we've
got gold and the K four and the canoeing and
Alise Andrews as well. In the cycling she got a
gold as well. We've got a bronze as well, so
pretty impressive. Middle Talley fans.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
It was the Canadian pole vault is in a bit
of hot water.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
She came, she got third and she has an only
fans account, which is fine, but then people are upset
because when she won bronze, who celebrated by twerking I
was not appropriate.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well, it's not appropriate. You should be paying for their content.
So I'm a subscriber and I don't just hand it
out for free.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
We get away for will Now. It's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
There's been so many great moments from the Olympics, and
one in particular was a young skateboarder fourteen years old
from a Australia arrest is true is her name, and
fourteen to one gold.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
It's amazing. What Yeah, I think I was like if
I was fourteen and one gold, you'd be like, now
we're too, It's like.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Peak something else.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I have a theory when it comes to skateboarding and
stuff too. Kids have less fear. You know, the older
you get, you think about consequences, you know, forty four
year old or the skateboards. A man, if I take this,
I'm going to have to have five weeks off work,
acc claim. Fourteen year old's not worried about that stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And it was such a fourteen year old answer as well.
She was talking on Australian News about her parents and
what if she won gold, what she wanted to get
and never listened to this.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
So how does a fourteen year old want to celebrate
becoming the Olympic champ?
Speaker 11 (17:47):
You have to ask for my parents if I like won,
was if I could get a pet duck because duck's
a really cute and I really wanted a pet duck.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
She wants a pet duck.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
She sounds like a times Is this she the youngest
gold middle woudo.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Or maybe yes, she's not the youngest competitor but at
the game so no, I.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Think it was like, isn't he like an eleven year
old Russian back in the day gymnast who.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Won gold checked up on steroids?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Do you think the fact that she got offered a
duck from her parents, and you know, the bribery helped her.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Maybe absolutely, kids thrive off bribery, and it's never too
early to do educate your children on the bribery system
as well. You know, ice creams, fatty foods, you know,
small denominations of hush money works well with the kids.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I remember when I was doing like exams back in
high school, there were kids who were like, every a
they got or whatever, their parents would give them money. Really, yeah,
my parents were not having it.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
My mom more though, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
She my mom smoked for a little bit, and she
hated the fact that she smoked, and so she stopped.
She was really hard to stop. She's like, I don't
even want your smoking. I'll pay you fifty bucks a year,
so not smoking.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
A salary for Yeah, I had no real interest in smoking.
I was like, great, take the money.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Would you get an installments or at one payment of
the India of the year that I hadn't know it
was it an honesty policy, how I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It was, but in some ways, but I didn't really
have a really interest. I was like, great, give me
your money. So it was bribing me not smoke. Amazing, jeez.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
I eight hundre the hats. Okay, will you bribed as
a child? Are you bribing children? Now? Your children probably
don't brob other children. If you're bribing other children, we
don't want to hear those calls for even oh eight hundred.
The heats love to get your bribery stories on because
it works a treat. Bribery it does against results. If
that four year old, a fourteen year old hadn't been
promised the carrot dangling duck at the end of the ta,
(19:37):
she probably wouldn't have even place. She's like, what's it
God be to a fourteen year old? But a cute
pit duck? Yeah, what's the point?
Speaker 9 (19:43):
The hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Talking parent bribes. After the Australian, the fourteen year old
who won gold in the skateboarding she was incredible, asked
for a pit duck if she won, and their parents said,
if you wouldn't gold, you'll get a pit duck.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
So how does a fourteen year old want to celebrate
becoming the Olympic chure?
Speaker 11 (20:00):
You have to ask for my parents if I, like
one was if I could get a pet duck because
ducks are really cute and I really wanted a pet duck.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
She's so so young, she's want a gold medal?
Speaker 6 (20:11):
John, how does that make you feel?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Let's put an age lemon and kids entering the Olympics.
I reckon because it makes you feel old. She's good
enough obviously the world.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
I just think she could have asked for something more.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Well, yeah, right, a gold medal, but maybe a duck.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
It's important to her. For a fourteen year old, a
duck's to dream. That's all you want to duck.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
As a parent, I'm like, oh, duck, you aren't you
going to clean up? The Duck's not gonna be toilet trained.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
It's gonna you know, tasty, tasty. If you like ducks,
you think, think, yeah, so there's an like you can't
eat a puppy when they move out of home. But
you know, once this little girl moves out of home,
you couldn't. You couldn't eat a pet duck.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I'm sure this farm is probably now, and don't see
telling me otherwise. My parent bribes to this morning old
Andrew the heads four four eight s.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Even you easily bribeaball as an adult, probably totally.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
There's not much I won't do for very little, really, easily.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It would be terrible, terrible government officials. I will take
you out for a free buffet lunch to put the
pro smoking in school's bills through and we're okay, yeah, great.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Seafood based officer anything. I wouldn't be good for any
of those jobs.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Let's get Xandra on welcome. You're employing the bribing system
in your household Sandy, Oh, we're losing it.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Sorry, can you hear me?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, now we can mate. What are you bribing your
kids for?
Speaker 12 (21:41):
So in my wisdom, I decided to have four children.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
And three of those.
Speaker 13 (21:46):
Age and they all played rugby at one day, the
two boys one girl side of it.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
They went there teen on going out.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Because of the weather that said the luck you've got
to go to team sport. I will give you five
dollars if you get a try.
Speaker 7 (22:00):
So little mister eleven year old.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Scot six trive.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
And then the other two got a couple of each
as well. So at the end of the day I
ended up paying sixty bucks.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
My friend did the same thing to her, so it's
like it was ten bucks to try and the sunlight
I think scored like five or six in a match
and he was like after game was ily talked about
passing it mane not being too greedy, you know, indeed
costing him a lot of and there's no money in
my bank account.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Now London, good morning to you.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Hi.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
How's it going?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Oh Linda, we are doing really well this morning. Have
you been bribed or have you done the bribing?
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You're getting all the bad mother stories.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I feel judgment here, judgment. What's what's your what's your
bribery story?
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Similar to that one before four kids. First boy played cricket,
sat on the sideline for ether in the boring hot
sun with a new with a new baby, turn away
for two minutes and you're mister act right. So then
third run second son came along and he wanted to
(23:13):
sign up to cricket because all his friends were doing
that and he's very, very active, and so I paid
him five dollars not to join.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Hey, hey, amen, amen, Linda, cricket is a commitment, is it?
You were a cricket man.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well you're back Back then it was there was no
real sort of twenty twenty twenty over games. So my
mom she dropped off and go. She was like, I'm
not going to spend you know't coming for pockets, but.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
You know it should be illegal.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
It should be illegal. Cricket should be illegal.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
It's a great I love you London, London.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You wouldn't have liked raising Ben. He was cricket. He
had wandered down the street and his cricket white. There
were those of civilian clothes, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
My boy wandered down this. Try to wander down the
street naked with his gum bats on all the time.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
You know, okay, we're what do you think You're a
bad pairent. Let's not double down this.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Morning, great Texas. To finish, I've got three teenage boys.
Give them twenty bucks each a week not to get detention.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's great, Like how terrible are your kids? You just
pretend to be good. It's a good till three pm. Judgment,
no judgment.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
What you need to do to make it work.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
The hits that John and Ben.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Podcast night when long out Disney are nice, which is great,
But we're running a bit late after everyone got home
from various things in the evening and you have to
you know, when you're in a panic, you get parking lot.
Just got to park at the next best, the first
available spot and went into like a private parking building
twenty bucks, twenty.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Bucks, and I was like, oh, I guess.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
But at the same time, that's the event parking building,
so they know, like you need to park by the
arena and it's a flat.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Fi super close, but it was close enough.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Sometimes a piece of your soul dies as you pay
twenty three dollars for ten minutes parking. Oh no, yeah,
but hey, parking, we want to know the cheapest parking
in New Zealand. There must be free parking out there
in some gorgeous town. I remember driving I can't remember
with the town and some of the North Island it was.
I think that we haven't got much, but we have
(25:12):
free parking. Yeah, well that's great. That's a great tourist hook.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
That's great park Then what.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I can't go out and see anything, But.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I've never had that before.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You have a theory, and I don't think you're doing
it anymore right when you would not pay for parking.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
No, still still strongly, still.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Strongly back parking tickets. He gets sent to.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Will balance itself out. It definitely does not. I don't
pay end of the year. If you did, if you don't,
if you add the numbers up of what you would
pay for parking with the fines.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
When you win, they when you will you ever win?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
They have a lost. That's the sort of however the
technology advancements and ticketing have referred. That's where I am
starting to get stung a bit more. With this car
that goes around with thirty nine cameras on it, they
don't have to get to the car.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I didn't know that was a thing. Yeah, that's I'm
always like, it's raining, the parking wardens aren't going to
walk around in the rain.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Now they've got the cars, the terminated ticketing tank.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
You also one of those getting it's actually worked. The
other day one of those was getting towed one of
the councils and.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
People were apt.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
And maybe it had broken down, who knows, but just
look like the toe truck driver come along, go you
cut park here, mate from the council.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And Joe passed once and I gave it the burden
Ben tick grow.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Up, you like, pull the fingers at this poor persons
driving along like this.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I didn't do it to the person camera. He doesn't
know that.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Nothing sums the two of you up more than that scenario.
It's like the guy the.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Poor guy looked over, is you're pulling for the cameras?
He's like, I don't know that, just like getting if
you went to your work and people.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Do actually terrible example every day. Have you ever paid
for free parking? No, we know you wouldn't have because
it was free, but Nelson wouldn't charge im Nelson.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
At the moment, I think it is like two dollars
an hour, But I used to go home and be
like fifty cents an hour and I was like amazing, Wow,
yeah the city too.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Okay, So where are you? Where are you right now listening?
And what is parking cost you?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
The cheapest? There must be zero dollar parking out there somewhere.
It is kind of like when you think about parking,
it's like you're investing in a tiny little piece of
real estate for a short period of time. Yeah, for
a couple of minutes.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
In my demand, that's you know, supply and demand. It's
economic stuff.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
The hits that John wan Ben podcast tell.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You what you could pay for all the parking you
wanted with forty four million dollars. We're after New Zealand's
cheapest parking this morning. No. Eight hundred the HiT's been
boys extorted by the parking industry. When you go into
the private buildings, you're kind of you know.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
What you yah, it happened.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
They're like, welcome, Welcome to Eler.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
There was something going on. I think it was at
the Warriors like last year, remember that news article and
someone was just going along on a hypers vest and
just going and go, hey, you can park here, and
buildings around your businesses around there that weren't this. They're like, yeah,
twenty bucks, twenty bucks parking. And then they just scup
at the end of the day and someone got toad
from there and they're like, but I gave Twitter buckshis.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
No one questions.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Maybe we should.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Partly can't be angry because that's just it is.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah, that is very entrepreneurial.
Speaker 6 (28:21):
I have to make an apology to the nowsonians. I
said it was two dollars an hour in the city.
My dad has said the first hour is free. Just
by the way, it's here only there for an hour.
It's free in.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Nelson City, okay, Wayno, he means you're making use of
that first hour free parking, surely, which is a great
thing to pull people into the centers. Of towns in
the cities. Isn't now for free parking because it probably
just turns you off if you have to pay. But yeah,
New Zealand chiefs parking, let's get that. Let's get this
out there. Fae, good morning to you.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Hey, how are you?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Can you tell her we're doing really well? Face? It's
lovely to hear your adults at tones. Where are you from?
Where's how much is the parking?
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (28:58):
Mo?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Two dollars? The first two hours are free, and the cbd.
But but if you move along to another car back
and you think you're going to get another two hours free,
they find you.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So don't I always wondered that if you were in
a position and you got in your car just before
it ran out, and you drove around the block and
packed again.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
They find you.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
What if I went home and realized I forgot something
and I went back.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You've still used your two hour parking free, So two
hours a day, it doesn't It doesn't explain. It doesn't
explain that, and a lot of people get caught out.
And my daughter and I went shopping in five streets
in Hamilton. We've been there every weekend and never got fined.
But this weekend, we went and parked over the hour.
(29:47):
Two days later I got a fine for eighty five dollars.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
They make up for it, don't they get the ticket yet?
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Well no, because I hadn't. I hadn't put the disability
sticker on, displayed it so then and they canceled the tickets.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Just what a roller coaster of a story.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
So that's why all our people go out to the
base and chart because it's free there.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
You go to me.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We used to get ticket and you get chalked back
when we were by the TV station.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
But then everyone will just go out and just roll
their tires over, just chalk.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Yeah. I was like, I loved the chalk system. Easily beatable,
just a little bit wiping off. I was like, surely
they know that it's the same car, but a right,
So you get the first hour free in the tron,
but watch out if you don't have your disability sticker on,
they'll come for you for sharing free parking. Have you
got it? Oh, I should turn you up share And
(30:46):
she's gone, ah, I know, ruined the phone.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
It's all going so well, wasn't it. Bust will be happy.
We can wrap things up a little earlier than normal.
It's back. He does back in, but you can't can.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
And gave you a great house to know you've started.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Now you've got a goal that.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
We have to break into. Our bosses.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Keep it short. I just had an interesting thing, so
I'd like to read out.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
The Hats that johnaan Ben podcast Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
We started a torch.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
We turned on a torch for our torch ceremony here
at the Hats and you could decide when well you
can basically make a prediction when the batteries we're going
to run out, and you can win five hundred dollars
if you do so.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
At the Hats Breakfast something up.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
On the show. Who regrets starting this?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I did? Yesterday we had a crisis meeting because you know,
Facebook like cutting the live stream. We've got two warnings
that were going to end. They're going to shut down
Facebook for the world if we continued on the live stream,
and I was like, oh, this is becoming a bit
of a ball ape. But then we had a crisis
meeting and we got the experts in. Someone from ever
Ready phoned and said how long this torch potentially could
(31:59):
be going going on for it? And it was it
was a long time. Take a listen. Is there an
end in sight? Will it be done by the weekend?
That's our major concern.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I don't think so.
Speaker 12 (32:10):
I think it's going to keep going.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
It's going to keep you there.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
It does say that they should last up to sixty
five hours.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Oh isn't that three days?
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
So maybe yeah the dolphin. Does the dolphin make it
last longer?
Speaker 12 (32:23):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Yeah? Right, Okay, so we're looking maybe a Friday hour
finish at the end of the torch ceremony, and then
I'm taking the longer it goes on, the funnier it is. Yeah,
it's good. But the problem is we can't live stream it.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
No, so we have to keep an eye on it
the whole time because we need to know when it
runs out of battery. So yesterday we're like, well, what
are we going to do? We have one of us
is going to have to take it home keep an
eye on it at all times. It was me yesterday.
We're confused the heck out of my family and my
kids got into the car after school. There was a
torch sitting on the front seat. It was on and
this is the reaction.
Speaker 7 (32:54):
That's so random.
Speaker 9 (32:56):
Would you say in the boat, so stupid.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
What is a stupid because you're going to stay up
during the night watching a torch waiting for its time?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
We headed our live stream at work anyway, long story, Sure,
I'll set up a camera to night.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
No one wants to watch a tor know.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
But people want to win money. Okay, look it's too
late now we're just committed to it.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
No, don't do it off. They just want to turn
it off. My wife comes and signs, go, there's a torch.
And then he took the torch for a lovely night
out to Disney on Ice.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
A great time.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
You ever listened to this hitting to Disney on Ice?
And what's coming with us.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
To Yeah, it's giving out safe at the moments so far,
it's it's quite handy.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But I measure as we get closer to the door.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
And people around, so we don't feel like an it.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah, so it's quite good.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
At night time, you feel okay, you feel comfortable with
the torch walking around because at least it looks like, yeah,
guiding the way when I walk the dog in daylight, everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
That's on as well.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
But anyway, I did it for twenty four hours keipt
tonight and it's still going.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
It's the little torch battery.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
That could great advertisement for the dolphin torch.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Ye have not turned it off. No one's touched it
since Wednsday.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
There was talk that it could go on depending on what.
We don't know, if it's like LED batteries or something
like that. There was some talk of it going on
for seven years. What it can be still going next
time the Olympics come around. Incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
So if you want to like make a prediction when
it's going to roll out, when the batteries are going
to stop, you can do so at the Hats Breakfast
on Facebook and someone will win five hundred dollars at
some stage when it runs out.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Hasn't lessened in brightness? Has it still good?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
To work out which fun of you guys is going
to have it for the next little bit.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
It's kind of like if you're looking after it, it's
kind of like looking after a dying green parent. You're like,
I know it's going to slowly fail at some point,
but I don't know. You can't take your eyes off
and you know you're right. A lot of responsibility. Let
you know when I missed the moment. Either, you want
to be holding their hand exactly.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Exactly the hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
We want to find out which island is having the
best best weekend.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Who's having the best weekends. Yes, we are currently engaged
in the US Serbia semi final basketball game, as USA
just won.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Just what, just what was so close?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Jesus?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
It would have been a huge I mean, Serbia really
good at basketball and they've got Nikola Jokis, but Jesus
would have been a big upset for the Dream Team
to lose.
Speaker 6 (35:20):
And they've just only lost like four points.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Anyway, that's not what we here to do, guys, focus
having the best week Yes, just as exciting as the
semi final and basketball, it's the best weekend. As we
said before, both of these competitors training four years for
this moment. Right now. Hailey from the Hits of Wellington,
good morning, how are you?
Speaker 13 (35:44):
Oh good? I've chosen kind of a classic Kei we
scene today happening in the North Island. So feeling quietly confident.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Okay, in a little cocky you would say.
Speaker 13 (35:55):
Yeah, yeah, well I let's back it up now. We've
got a sausage making workshop which is kind of classically
key We in Mount Monganui where you can go tomorrow,
you can rock up and you can make kind of
the classic sausages, or you can make kind of wacky flavors.
But it was going to ask you, guys, I mean,
obviously you've branched down on chips, you haven't yet done
(36:16):
sausage flavors.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
No, I've never gone into the sausage came. We've sold
our sal to many different products on the supermarket shelf
over the years.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
You said chips. Immediately I thought of like a nacho sausage.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yum, that would be nice. I don't know if I
want to think too hard about what goes into a sausage.
Let's just like, yeah, well there we go.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
Potentially could stay your soul to a sausage if radio
gig doesn't work out.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It feels like you're just putting something over a giant
piece of contraception, aren't you when you're making a sausage.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Sure, sausage like that?
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (36:51):
Okay, Well suddenly I'm not feeling as confident.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Okay, sausage, but sausages going on?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Anything else in the north its.
Speaker 13 (37:01):
