Speaker 1 (00:00):
This show would being podcast. Hey, that's us broad to
you by Hello Fresh. The experts and tastes that Kiwis
love focus.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
On the podcast on a Tuesday morning.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It was a front show today and we just made
John O because it's World caps Lock Day. I don't
think too many other radio shows in the world will
be focusing as much on it as we did.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
We dedicated at least of the show the World caps
Lock Day.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
I feel like they're bucket well and truly filmed well.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
It was something that popped up and be like, you know,
if it was malboarding this day, you know, evolved in.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, like, yeah, people have hand sanitizer day. I'll be
getting behind that.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
I don't want you to feel seen.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, ninety sneeze day. You know, Megan has the daintier
sneeze in the market.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
I don't want to pray everywhere.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Sometimes you can't. You can't stop your sneeze from how
loud it is.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
You know, feels like every dad, every dad has the
loudest sneeze.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah, and they love that of nowhere when you see
a nuclear bomb and all the ripples.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, yeah, Well today it was well capsule day, so
we decided to celebrate with John O because he loves
using caps when he's on the computer. And so we
had your phone and we called your hair it very shortly,
we called a famous person from your phone, Jeremy call
it the host of Seven Days, and you had to
shout a conversation.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
But we tried.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
In the ad break, we had your phone plugged in
and so it looked like it was coming from you.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
David Seymour, Dipley Prime Minister. Right, we're called number.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
I don't know why I have Seymore's number.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
But he chicks you back in a meeting.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Sorry, I call you later, so and he said, sorry,
I can't talk right now, and then I came back.
No worries, mates, just my wonderful colleagues trying to milk
you for some content. You let him know, have a
good day, and he said, normally I'd be keen, but
I've got meetings all morning.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
And he said, which one is this?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
So I've got Seymour saves he clearly doesn't have. I said,
five Majors John here and that's nothing back the.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Cold response.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, at least he now knows who you are.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Did you get his number?

Speaker 4 (02:05):
But honestly, I have no idea. I assume it would
be something that we did on the radio.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
From a while.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
Message him in a week and they'd be like, this
number is disconnected.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
I even reckon after do you reckon? Even after? Now
he knows whose number does He's put me into the context.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Particulally, Yeah, do not answer.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You do pick up these things, you know, because we
are lucky enough to talk to a lot of people,
you know, with public profile, and sometimes you do take
the number down or you have to call them or
text them and stuff. We had John keyts for a
while when he was promised to remember that yeah, and
we rang I'm just out of the blue about something.
I can't remember what it was, some random he answered,
And he thought we were Obama calling. That's the only
reason he answered. He was in the middle of the
cabinet meeting and went out and he was like this

(02:43):
guy in the radio.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
It was very blake.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
He said, there are any reason I answers because I
thought it was Obama because.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
I left the Prime minister lift a meeting.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I know.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
You two shouted to us for about and then he
was like, better go, better go.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
Back to the I got to run the country, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
You're like, whatever we're doing was definitely not important enough
to interrupt.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
But it's it's a fun podcast today. Enjoy that. We'll
catch you any worry. There's World capslock Day today.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Something I discovered from a Disney calendar, a Meckey Mouse
calendar when you were away exch John, I was talking
about this, I was looking at it. I was like
that days scene made up, but apparently they're.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Not novelty days.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, there was a period there in radio I think
it's late nineties two thousands with out of the backbone
of the radio show when they celebrating a novelty world
carrot snorting Day or something, and you you get the
interurn out there snorting carrots. You'd really hamming your foot
to the floor on the idea. But hey, we're given
will caps lock Day a lot of your time today?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's an official day, and it's one that's probably daisy
your heart because you love writing in capslocks, as we've
already talked about.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Oh I don't love it. It's just it happens accidentally,
and then when you're not and then you.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Don't correct it.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It happens because pure laziness.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
You don't have to worry about putting this shift and
changing the FOT.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
So, yeah, a lot of email communications come across in capslock.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
I don't know why it would annoy people so much.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
Because it's like yelling, yeah, but just.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Don't need at annoy you.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
That's all people think. They're thinking, Oh, that's great yelling
at me. Why is he yelling at me?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's people what they get, you know, because it's very
hard to know what people mean behind when they write stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Sometimes when you can't hear, all they see from yours
is old mate yelling I got bloody.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah, you know, and often it's like nice emails being
like yeah, bloody legions. It could have just been.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
No malice behind it. Pert yeah, I can I can
see it's I know it's a crime.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well yeah, And because you've committed these henous crimes, it
seems only fear on world capslocks stay for you to
pay the price for doing so.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So we decided I've got your phone, so fear.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
To us and the listeners and all the people you've
emailed over the years. So I've got your phone right here,
and I'm scrolling through the context, and I think, what
should happen began.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do you think this is a good idea?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
He should call someone from the context that we decide
and he needs to yell the whole conversation.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
Because you're quite happy to do it over email. But
would you yell at someone in person?

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Probably not, because it's a.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Rude and to an audio medium.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
And see what you're doing.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Ok are you gonna?

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Are you going to relet it and just scroll you?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Would you like to pick out? Okay?

Speaker 5 (05:07):
I think you should pick someone.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Okay, we got Okay, that was so far we got.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I go through the Eli Williams, Kelly Williams, Williams, he's
in there. So there's an option before you got former
boss and the former bus three you've got being Mitchell
and they've got two numbers.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Of being Mitchell short Street. Yeah, what do you have?
His number? Tween?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
To be honest, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
He knew John ohad it the first time, so he
changed it and he's.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Got Sometimes I just put well known people's names of
my content. This is no number of.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Clout. I don't have Clark Gayford with Clark gave for answers.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Any of these can't yell at the first man.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Now the problem is he's plugged my phone in, so
it's not like it's coming from the radio studio.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
This is a personal phone call.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Do you want to know or just call?

Speaker 4 (05:58):
I don't want to just calling.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You've worked out?

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Okay, okay, do that one.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, we'll got one. I'll give the guy.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I'm sorry, sorry, Jeremy. It's called caps locks and John

Speaker 7 (08:26):
That John and Ben podcast yesterday.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I've been meaning to clean my car for a while,
you know, like get it cleaned, and yes that I
thought i'd go through an automatic you know, I got
some gas and I was like, oh, gets, you know,
gets get one of the car washes there and go
the automatic car wash.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Love the autom You just sort of sit there and
awkward silence, questioning your life to say, don't.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
You a little bit of time out, a little bit
of a moment.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
But I hadn't driven inside one of those for a
while because normally I'd go down and do it myself,
like a washworel or something like that.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
But I was like, I'll go through this, and that
was fine.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I think the last time without a word of life
I've got I went to do one. I waited like
forty five minutes for this thing forever.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
And then when you're in the queue, you jammed in
between the behind the lady and the car behind me,
and then eventually got out of my car.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
And when because I was taking forever, I went.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
And said there was no one actually in the car.
Watch the poor lady, This old, sweet old lady had
just been waiting and she was in the front of
the car, and I was like, oh.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Hey, sweet old lady.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Like she's not a sweet old lady.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
There's no one you need to go in there. But
we're all just sitting in the queue.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Were you like, sweet old lady, I took you.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
Forty five minutes to go, chick.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
She's like a nightmare of an old lady, like once
on a super wash that they got this.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I know. If you be one of those, you drive.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
On and then it's like you've got to wait for
you know this the green light red light system. You've
got to get on the thing until you get to
the stop.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah, and there's a fine line, is it?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Oh my goodness?

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Precision.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's like, what does there have to be so precise?

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Like downs the scene to me.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
But you're like, drive forward. You're like, I got it off, off,
froack me a little bit rough, I'm off.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
I go forward a little bit of then I'm off.
But geez, I'm not like I'm not driving through the car.
Surely the car will be fine if I'm a millimeter
out or not.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
No, well, clearly not, because it's always like the brushes
are just bullying your car.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Into cleaning. Isn't they kind of just whacking your car?

Speaker 3 (10:18):
So I guess if you're just off center slightly or
b then the machinery will start destroyed then heaven.

Speaker 10 (10:23):
Two.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
We spoke to someone They were.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
At the pigel station one and apparently a part of
the HOSAL system had come off, but it was just
like spinning around and just whacking the panels of their
car and they couldn't go anywhere because they had to
wait till the cycle for it. And it got out
and it looked like his vehicle had driven through the
cars are strip.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Because there's a kid like as a kid, it's one
of the most frightening things. I think for a week
period of your life that the car wash, and then
you're like, oh, I see this is fine.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Then it quickly becomes the most enjoyable.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Can we go to go put the window down just
a little bit and see if some of the water
comes in as well? So yeah, but I feel like
all the advans were some tea chnology. Maybe the how
much you have to drive into one of these, we
could kind of work that out.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
My last time in one of those automatic car washes
actually was we're filming the dog a mighty shows, like
a Sunday morning, and I was sitting in one of them,
and there was a guy who was on the run
from the police and he came into the car washes
I was in there. I was like, oh, to hide,
and he was kind of like waving for me to
let him into the car, and I was like, probably listen,

(11:26):
probably not.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
You can't over want doors once you're in there anyway.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Into the web, so sorry, But he wasn't there and
he was soaking weird, and then he just sort of
sprinted off again and then I saw the car.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
I don't even know what happened to him. Been a
nice date, he had a shower.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Maybe not in the sense of the law, but as
far as as this person goes the.

Speaker 7 (11:48):
Hats that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Tobe of the Twenty Seconds where only just discovered that
as world caps locks day, caps lock. If you like
using caps lock, which JOHNO loves to on emails Tech.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
He keeps saying, I like using it, I don't like
using it.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
To use it, I don't use it.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
There you accidentally do it, but you don't correct yourself.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
No, it's pretty easy not to use it.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I know, I know the connotations in the stance towards
those that do send capslock emails. It's like walking into
a library and shouting in a megaphone. Doesn't it hav
any conversations with a megaphone? But I get it, and
some people think it's one of the worst things that
you can do on this If I emailed a human
trafficking organization from the dark Web and I'm like, hey,

(12:29):
guys in the market for a human and I accidentally
left the email on capslock, they'll come back with like, Hey,
we're bad guys, but we're not monsters.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Made it.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Screams boomer though, because it screams that you're never looking
at the screen, because all it takes is two letters,
and then you're like, oh, capsucks on sting to the
end of an email and then go, oh, it's too late. Now,
you know, That's what it screams. It seems I haven't
looked at the screen once. I've just been looking at
my fingers typing.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Now I look up.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Two index fingers spashing the c.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
And speaking as I'm typing as well.

Speaker 7 (13:04):
NA.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
So we wanted to know this morning because we've got
a we surprise for John after eight o'clock to do
it with World capsuck.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Today, but we'll get to that later.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
We wanted to know what of the things that people
are doing when it comes to emailing and texting and
stuff are messaging That kind of winds you up, like
what are the things or maybe the things you have
to do as well?

Speaker 5 (13:25):
I know winds me up.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
And this might be unpopular opinion. It's when people ask
you how you are. It's a work email, and at
the start they're like, Hi, hope you're well.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Did you have a good weekend? And I hate that
I don't do you don't care, but you need to
write it to answer it.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, I was the same the other day. It's that
first line you feel you need to do because you
can't with some people. Maybe if someone you email every day,
you can get straight to the point, but if someone
you're in the world, you have to go.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Hey, I hope you're all good, or hope it find
this finds you well and you're doing fine.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Why don't you go hi, there, I hope you will.
Don't care?

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, yeah, but it feels like you need to have
that little bridging line.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Because sometimes I write the whole email and then I
have to go back and be like, I didn't say
any pleasant.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Truth from the start. I have to add it in.
But then when someone says it to you, you're like,
do I need to answer that question? You don't care?

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Then you feel about you hope you're well too. I
don't care.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's straight down to hoping everyone's well. Don't get you're wrong.
I just feel like.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Any bad on you, you know, I hope you had
a good weekend. Let's just move on.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
What email crimes are out there? Is there anything worse
than typing emails and all caps lock? And it's kind
of the Pinocchio fit for me too, when I really
am angry, legitimately angry.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
What can you do?

Speaker 4 (14:37):
No one's going to know, no one's going to be
They're like, really types of caps all the time.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm at an exclamation mark person, but probably too many,
too many. You're like, just to try and go, that's
a joke, This is funny. This is the moment I'm
all good, you know, I.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Find that you just finished sentences with an exclamation too, manylation.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Marks, trying to lighten things up. Just allow but it's
a joke.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
We wrote a script for something and then the producer
came back. It was like, for the love of God,
who is putting.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
All the.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Removed?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I love it, I love it, but I've got to say,
is it like?

Speaker 4 (15:15):
Is it diffusing a situation?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Was trying to make it a little bit more like
this is meant to be intended for. I guess that
emojis can do the same thing, but on email, it
was just like this intended to be a bit of
a laugh, just that, you know, and little exclamation.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
Marks that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Does that really winds you up when it comes to emailing.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's world caps lock today, Today a day where we
can celebrate John's capslock love.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Yeah, I actually remember wheres you were talking about it,
Larissa who works in the office. Again, i'd fight off
a capslock email, and obviously she took objection to it,
and so she didn't. She folleyed back a capslock but
in slightly larger.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Font And how how did you find it?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
I enjoyed it now, I enjoyed the challenge was a
challenge excepted and then so it turned into an email
war of typing back and forth and canceled but increasing
the font size to the point where I think it
got to home a one hundred and twenty eight one
letter on the screen per time, and then the madness
had to stop.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, I'm joined.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
I was like, this is a bit of a love,
a huge waste of company time and resource.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
But a bit of a love. So we wanted to know.
And that's four for it.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
So you've lots of people backing up our annoyance for
that first line and an email that you have to
say the pleasant trees.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
I hope you will.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, yeah, someone's actually text and saying AI actually puts
it in, puts it in automatically, hope this email finds you. Well,
of course it's going to find you. Well the email
did you type in the address correctly? Well, then it's
going to find them.

Speaker 4 (16:39):

lines down.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Actually, Okay, she's something for I imagine you're back and
forth with a lot of emails and your job as
a manager of a hotel Danieller.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
Yeah, I do a lot, and I got a big problem.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Guys.

Speaker 10 (18:33):
I need to admit my problem is my exclamation marking.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
You overuse them.

Speaker 10 (18:40):
Oh yeah, but you know what you need to know
from the beginning of the story. In Italy, the exclamation
mark is for happiness. Explain that you're exciting about something,
and you know, like highlight something. Then I'm using all
these exclamation marks until a customer very kindly says to me, Denny,

(19:00):
I know you, but you know that's too many stammission mark.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
But you're Italian. You want to type like what about you?

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Flairpoint typing.

Speaker 10 (19:09):
Yeah, it's like you're yelling on my face. Usually I
do because my voice is quite loud. I'm very pleased
for someone tell me the customs in New Zealand. Thank you, guys.
I appreciate you.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
I'd love to be on email and Italy it would
be yeah, Denny, I will.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
I was just thinking, you say, we need to catch
up with you. We're going to do it every week,
so it's let's do it from next week. All right,
we'll talk to you, but we picked the box for
this weekends, like I'll start charging if we go.

Speaker 7 (19:41):
The jan beIN podcast.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
And South aren't expected to be hurt. So with a
whole lot of rain a heavy rain warning over the
next couple of days. Sitting into the long.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Weekend, smell my neighbor's barbecue on Sunday night, I thought
we were there almost heavy.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Birthday? Are your daughter?

Speaker 9 (19:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (19:57):
It's World caps lot Day and it eys birthday.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
What's more important?

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Giving her energy though, So it's kind of fitting that
she was born on World capslock Day.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
But there is what's the.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
Point of being a radio if I can't like read
something for my daughter on her birthday?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
So will she be listening to this right now? Because
if she's not listening, it's the rules.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
If they're having a good day, they'll be in the cart.
If they're not, they they'll be Yeah, do we.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Want to find out? Will leave them? They're in the tree?
Not a time to call.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
On the radio.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
But this is something like I want to tell my daughter,
but also like specifically all young girls out there, it
can apply to them too.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
To my little Iya Papaya.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
I've never met someone so young who knows exactly what
she wants, sets boundaries, loves people so intensely, and has
such a strong sense of self. You drive us up
the wall because you don't like being told what to
do in any sense of the word. You question everything,
want to do everything yourself. You're always keen for a
good time, even when it's bedtime. As you grow, hear
some things that I learned that I want you to

(21:02):
take with you.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
Can I just say for the top half not so complimentary.
It sounds like a list of things that you find
a giant.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
You want that independent.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's like, that's awesome when they got there. They strong
and they know what they want.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
That's great.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Pain in the asked appearent.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
But I also have no worries about who getting older,
you know, because that's exactly who.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
I want to be. Just I don't want to parent it,
you know.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Coming with someone who can't make a decision and is
weak and mild. I would love to have all those edges.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, you know, yeah for a little girl. I love
that about it.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
But you're not weak, and I think we should say that.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
The world might sometimes try to tell you who you
should be. Always remember that you are enough just as
you are. Put yourself first. It isn't selfish. When you
care for yourself, you can be the best version for
those around you. Stand tall and speak your truth. There
will be times when your voice might feel small, but
it matters. Speak up for what is right, even when
it's hard. Be proud of everything that makes you you.

(22:02):
Know that your feelings are valid. Every version of yourself
is beautiful, and embrace it all. I You're already such
a wonderful little person, and I know you'll grow up
to be an incredible woman, strong, kind, independent and full
of love. I'll always be here to guide you, cheer
you on and love you no matter what. I'm so
very proud to be your mum, and I cannot wait

(22:23):
to see the amazing life you create for yourself.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Love good message too, standing up for what's right. You know,
we did come from a generation where you're like, shut
the hell up, dunk.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
You know literally, I love my parents, but like they
would always say, seen or not heard?

Speaker 12 (22:38):
Yeah, okay, it really goes with your da adult life.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
The Heads that Jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
She's got a new book out called Unapology Unapologetically Me.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Tough one to say, isn't it, Bree?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Tell me'ssel good morning here.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
You doing morning guys, thanks to having me in.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Talking about your new book, which is out. It's been
out for a few days now. I know you were
quite nervous about it being out there in the world,
but it's obviously you know, the aim is to help
people and to take them through the journey.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, that you went through. But how does it feel
to have it out there in the world.

Speaker 13 (23:07):
Yeah, I think nervous is an understatement.

Speaker 8 (23:09):
I think the actual term is pooping their patters.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
The French say how the French say it.

Speaker 13 (23:17):
Yeah, it's been God, it's been an overwhelming experience.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
I'll tell you that because I also have worked with you,
and I've known you for a few years, and these
things in there, I'm like, I did not know that, Bree, Like,
do you think that you kind of hide it away
from people?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (23:30):
Of course I think we all do that though as
people there's stuff you know that's quite private and you
feel very vulnerable sharing certain parts of yourself. But when
I went into this, I promised myself that if you're
going to write a book, I don't want it to
be surface level. I want to get into the nitty gritty,
all my deepest and darkest or else there's no point

(23:52):
doing it.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, Yeah, there was a news story circulating about a
traumatic event when you were nine years old and you
were them of a home invasion.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Which reliving this over and over. Yeah, that's my favorite.

Speaker 8 (24:04):
Actually, I mean it's in the book, so I have
mentally prepared myself to talk about it. I think it's
one of the most pivotal parts in the book. And
obviously that event in my childhood has had a huge
impact throughout the rest.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Of my life.

Speaker 8 (24:20):
It was not something you want anyone to go through,
let alone. It was me and the people closest to me,
my nan and my mum were there as well. Looking
at it now, glass half full, which is very hard
to do with something like that. I think, like just
reiterated to me just how close my mum and I

(24:40):
are and the reasons why, which a lot of them
stem from that event.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
And that day, do they get caught?

Speaker 4 (24:46):
They sure did have.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
The idiots went home the next day to their house
and the cops are waiting for them.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
So did you know who they were?

Speaker 13 (24:55):
Now, we didn't know who they were.

Speaker 8 (24:57):
They were actually from a couple of guys from the
town over from ours that held up a service station
before coming into our home, and so the cops were
already after them, and unfortunately they didn't get them before
we had contact with them.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Oh jeez, yeah, you said, I think you've said it.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
That's when you knew how much love your mom had
for how any mother has for their child, is that
she was willing to, you know, put herself in harm's way.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Oh.

Speaker 8 (25:23):
Absolutely, I saw in that moment that my mum really
was willing to give her life for mine. And it
just shows that amazing connection and bond that mothers have
with their with their kids.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
And they say it all the time.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
I mean, it's awful that you witnessed it, but like
most of us don't get that opportunity to actually see
it in action like you did.

Speaker 8 (25:44):
It's definitely something you don't want to see. But I'll
never forget the look on my mum's face, like when
she looked this guy dead in the eye and was
like take me, just don't take my daughter.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
And it's a look that you'll never forget.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
We've got brif Thomas l with us said book an
apologic unapologically me.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's really hard to say. A lot of people apologetically me.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
There you go, and that's why I let you guys
do it right now now.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
They say, don't judge your book by its cover. That's
what they say. And I'm only going to do this
because you know we're mates.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
We know you know. Did you want to know.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
How it would be judged if you were judging the
book by the compan I'd love to know, because you know,
we did it the other day with our radio show.
We put a little picture of our hits Breakfast and
we're like, roast us be mean to chat GPT.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
And it came back with some comments.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
So I put last night, I put your cover into
chat gipt. Do you want to know what you don't
want to know? This is a radio radio medium. Describe
what your book cover looks like.

Speaker 13 (26:37):
It's just, you know, every generic book cover.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
Someone hot be She gave us a bit of shoulder
to her, had the girls out, the shoulders out.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
Complaints from us, Well, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Actually it wasn't too bad.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
I put it into chet GIPT and I said, you know,
roast it be mean is what I see it. And
it said, oh, unapologetically me more like unapologetically boring. The
cover screams I just discovered Canva templates and if the
contents are as basic as its design. I'm expecting more
filler than a bag of chips. I guess she couldn't

(27:16):
apologize for the font choices either, because they're clearly out
there fighting for attention, multiple fonts, the titles. Oh, I'm
so unapologetic, but the cover is clearly apologizing for being
this bland.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
There you go. That's GPD.

Speaker 7 (27:32):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
It's honest to the point.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Apologies to the designer of the book. I thought it
was great, but I hope she's not listening.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Is going to feel really bad about itself when actually
reads the content, and.

Speaker 8 (27:47):
Hopefully, well, if that's how it views the cover, hopefully
the context is anything.

Speaker 7 (27:52):
But borings that Jonaan Ben podcast This.

Speaker 1 (27:55):

years of burger consumption and we've all been doing it

According to this butler as well, he's like all the
royals calling King Charles will eat burgers with a knife
and a fork. And everyone that comes over to Bucking
Palace if they serve the burger, will always eat it
with the knife.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
And a fork.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
But there's eating like a big mac with a knife
and a fork. No one does that. But then if
you go to like a restaurant and they give you
one of those huge burgers that topple over you like,
you probably eat that with a knife and fork.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, I agree with you, Megan.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Sometimes I will resort to a knife and a form
if I can't pick it up, we'll put it in
and I'm like, I'm gonna have to use a knife.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
They are reading fancy pants burgers that you need to
eat with a knife for fork.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
If anyone's going to bucking In Palace, you're not going, oh,
I'm going to eat this burger with my head. Yeah,
even I'm going like I am the most uncouth person
in But I'm like, this is definite a knife and
fork situation. But we do get a little ambitious, don't we,
with how much we can fit in between two buns.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Yeah, isn't it? Sometimes You like we're pushing them too much.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
You're just to scier it to hold it all.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Too much a foundation, but your knife and fork to
become accustomed to it.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Though, if you pay you like eighteen bucks for a burger,
you want something with the skit because you want a
lot of it, you know. So Yeah, and then I'm
happily eating it with the knife and the fork. That's
a bit weeat pizza for.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
A fork being known to do that.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, if if you can use your hands over you knives,
the hands are the knives.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
And forks of the body. Are they Nature's nice books?

Speaker 3 (36:25):
But I prefer hands over knives and forks saves are
clean up at the end.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah, but I'm always like where the hand where the
hand's being you know, like.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
And sometimes the pizza is like floppy and all, you
know what, all the stuff to fall off it, so
you just like a fork it.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, so yeah, so I guess you know four for
it's even on the text what you're eating with a
knife and a fork that maybe would surprise us.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
This morning apples.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
It's not my cutting an apple and eating it like that,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Could eat it with a knife and for yeah orange
as you saw a lady just eating a litters like.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
An apple like an apple, yeah, like on your door. Yeah,
unusual way of eating things as well.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
But yeah, if you're doing that, I would definitely from
public consumption. Well, there's a stranger at the door, a
bit of put away. There's letters I'm diroducing.

Speaker 5 (37:04):
As an apple much how she's eating it, it's just
that's yuk, Like there's no flavor to it.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
You know, you're not a fan of no, just like you.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Don't think it's weird. She's munging in it. Let us
a full letus like an apple.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
It is weird, but like also it's just yuk.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yeah yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
It's not as favorite food carrots, stuff. You're unusual things
you're eating with knives and forks. Toast you can eat
toast with a knife and fork. Can you just a
simple plaything?

Speaker 4 (37:34):
You can eat with a knife and fork.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
As soon as you put eggs on a piece of toast,
you eat it with nothing senule.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
However, you remove the eggs and you look like put
some spaghinia bait beans on it.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
You're right, you're having to eat it with It's a
game changing, It's.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
The johonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Is also a big day today.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
It's a World Capslocks Day, which John we thought we
actually discovered this because I've got a calendar. I've got
a Mickey Mouse calendar at home in the bathroom and
I was looking at it in the morning and i
was like, what all these days? And I'm like, surely
they are making it up, Like there was all like
World Hot.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Dog Day and all this.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Do they come off a day opposite day?

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Did they cover off like genuine wild brisk cance today
and things like that?

Speaker 1 (38:13):
A few little big but it's an international calendar, so
they card.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
To get into the nitty gritty.

Speaker 5 (38:18):
But they make more fun niche they just made all
these up.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
It turns out no, there will capslocks Day whatever is
actually a thing.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Yes today, we thought you'd enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
We put it in our calendar because you love sending
emails and keepslocks.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
I don't love it.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
It's just something I do. We've all got floors, and
I know some people aren't a fan of it.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
It's it's shouting.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
It really makes a statement on email, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yeah, but you know all the crimes going on on
the internews, you would have to say this is probably
the worst.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
And I would say say until we got a few
surprises up.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Actually today for World caps lock Day, we'll be celebrating
that the way.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
It's probably the.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Only radio show in the market celebrating World caps of
daw must content.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
Have you got plan I think that you'll enjoy exact.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Yeah, oh, yesterday, had I go through go get acupuncture
because I get migraines, you know, and just doing a
and I've handed that down to my son.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
He's like, thanks for passing that on.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
All the things you can pass down to me with
your DNA, it's migraines.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
So yeah, you can get acupuncture and you know, helps
with blood flow through your neck to your head, which
is apparently the cause of migraines. And the problem is
with acupuncture is I'm lined it because she'll put like
needles in and then she attaches it to like this
electric machine which sends electric pulses to your nervous system.

(39:46):
Just gentle, very gentle ones. And the problems is very relaxing.
She's a low line there for three quarters of an hour,
and I'm a dozy guy. Sleepy Joe, sleepy gho.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
He stops talking like he's either full talking or when
he stops a sleep.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, he stopped some more than thirty seconds. He falls asleep.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Happened a couple of times, like a wide up Toys says,
it stops, he's out, but if not, I can't sit
in silence. It happened on the Never Heavy Evertore and Flight.
We're taking bomb, just out out like a light. But
the problem is when you go out like a light
and you're in such a deep slumber, you wake up
and you're like I'm draoling. Yeah, first, and you're like,

(40:25):
what have I been doing? You have no idea and
you look at the time You're like Jesus has been
a long this is forty five minutes.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Have I been thrashing around?

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Because I jerk too?

Speaker 2 (40:34):
You know, I'm a jerk when you say, do you.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
Guys do that?

Speaker 5 (40:37):
You're a jerk when you're awake.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
And you jerke yourself away, you know. And I'm and
this lady, I'm not of that relationship with her. I
can go what was I doing while I was asleep, you.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Know, saying anything in my sleep? Was I threshing around?

Speaker 2 (40:56):
She's got some great information on you, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Yeah, and I hasually been filming. Is there a security
camera or she could do a lot.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
I'll be very very careful what you do with her.
She's got some hard evidence on you.

Speaker 7 (41:08):
The heads that John and Ben podcasts over two.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
And a half weeks to get ten out of ten
in a row, and we finally did it yesterday. So
that left, you know, a great achievements. It was great achievement,
but also left a gaping hole on the radio show
here that.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Was your big consumer.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Yeah, I was, and I was, to be honest, I
was really enjoying starting the day with that. So I
feel like we could come back to it at some stage.

Speaker 5 (41:27):
But right, do you make the rules you know?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yeah, sure, yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
No one really said you want to keep doing the
herty because that's on you.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
I actually felt like I learned quite a lot from
over the last couple It is that information that you're like.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
Oh yeah, I was trying to think of a question.
In my mind, I could cuiz you out of all
the questions we had.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
But I feel like you'll start.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
To expensive painting was done by.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
That was bloody min wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:51):
When was Julius Caesar heard it?

Speaker 5 (41:53):
It wasn't in there forty four.

Speaker 14 (41:55):
It was we heard it an add on the radio
the day for Tom Tom you from from radio here
and we're like, oh, we played the album from the
album The Eraser was one of his albums.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
I remember that debut album, yeah exactly, so the stuff
like that.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
But we've moved on today because producer Grace hast got
as new quiz.

Speaker 15 (42:13):
Yes, so it's called bandal Now.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
This is worries me when a gin z comes and
it's like I want to play a game with you.
I feel like it's set up to mock the older generation.

Speaker 13 (42:23):
No, it's perfect. It's all audio based, so perfect for radio.

Speaker 15 (42:26):
So pretty much it deconstructs a song, so it'll be
like drums and then I'll add piano and then you
just have to guess what the song is.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
So can we guess each time?

Speaker 15 (42:35):
Yeah, so you get like every go you get it,
you get to go to gas.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
The problems is the radio host is really embarrassing. You
don't get music questions right because all your job is
just playing music all day.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Okay, so here's the first one.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Oh that's what's my song?

Speaker 4 (43:01):
What's the one I'm trying to think of?

Speaker 15 (43:02):
And there's one point six billion views on YouTube.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
Taylor's absolutely not below not Jennifer.

Speaker 15 (43:13):
That's the easy one.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Guys had one.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
Now do I played the bass vision?

Speaker 5 (43:18):
Do you play the next?

Speaker 2 (43:19):
This is part of the same Okay, coolio.

Speaker 5 (43:23):
Gigs is Paradise. Yes, you have the Shadow of Death.
I don't go look go by Life.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Oh it's good. I like this game. Yeah, I'm terrible letter,
but I like it.

Speaker 5 (43:42):
So this next one is harder.

Speaker 15 (43:44):
There's one point one billion views on YouTube and it
was made after I was born.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
You know, asked. I thought i'd give a vask.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Okay, so you were nineteen. Are your two thousand and two.
One one?

Speaker 5 (43:56):
Can you after one?

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (44:01):
No, all drums sound the same when you.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Just hear drums started. I thought I had ye.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Same, and then I was like, no, don't sounds like
someone in a neighbor like, oh god, drugs.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Just some forty five year old trying to relive the youth.
I can't get it from the drums.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
Okay, let's got to expect Okay, uh uh huh uh huh.

Speaker 16 (44:26):
That yeah, you'll know it.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Oh, you can help us on the textbo for a
seven if you think you.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Know what I feel like.

Speaker 5 (44:46):
We should know that.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
Should we come back or should we carry on?

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Do we play the song?

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Okay, let's come out, but lock on the radio.

Speaker 5 (44:55):
Yeah, we're get trouble with the boss. If we put
it in after we get you wouldn't get in trouble.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
It's even on the text. We'll come back to that
in just a second.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
Plate the heads that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Turning to cast negative connotations. I love causting love, turn
in the custard.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
I'll pour it on an apple pot. The custod old
see a benefit.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Right the other day, you said, what did you say?
Hard case?

Speaker 1 (45:20):
That person's hard case and produce a gray sister with
us right now, It's just.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Like, what does that mean?

Speaker 15 (45:25):
Difficult person?

Speaker 5 (45:25):
Hard case to what?

Speaker 1 (45:26):
And I can see exactly why you'd think it would
be difficult, because a hard case to crack would be
something that was difficult.

Speaker 6 (45:32):
But some people are saying when things go bad, you
need something comforting to cheer you up. Like maybe that's
where the custard comes in.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
Turning to custard.

Speaker 5 (45:39):
It's like I'm turning to the custard.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
The custod feels like it's got a bad rap, because
bloody love caustar.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
If you can mainline custard into my veins, don't.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Do that.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
British thing. Not a weird word.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Sometimes when I get it, you need to custard all
the time.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
You know, when you get the milk contained of that,
I'll just pump it straight into my mouth.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
What decade since I've had custard?

Speaker 5 (46:05):
I reckon probably I just have you had that old
school like ebons.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
It's a powder all right, guys, Now this conversation the custard,
since you've had custod, what about a custard square. I mean,
I would probably enjoy it, but I couldn't Rember the
last time I had, but reintroduce your palette Custard. Yeah, okay,
So we're in the middle of a music trivia game

(46:29):
this morning. Producer Grace has brought it to our teaching.
It starts off a song with just the drums and
you add more to it.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
What is the song?

Speaker 4 (46:38):
I thought it was New York jay Z and Alicia.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Just the first drum, Yeah, I can.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
I can give another clue?

Speaker 4 (46:46):
Should we hear the basics?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
All right? The next part of the song.

Speaker 15 (47:02):
Police Clue Clue twenty twelve.

Speaker 5 (47:07):
It's that it's very that era.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Okay, I can't remember last week. This is with the piano.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Okay, this is really frustrating.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
Do you have any idea?

Speaker 6 (47:28):
I know short answer, This is with the guitar is
so familiar to me.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
For doing nothing. I feel like it's a female artist.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
No, it's not.

Speaker 8 (47:45):
A boy or the era kandom that I kind of
chemical romance, not as like.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
This is frustrating. Who is that? And I don't even
know who dragon.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
It's a good game, Grace, A frustrating game.

Speaker 7 (48:19):
The hits that jonaan Ben.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Podcast Liam Payne from one direction, the sad passing of
him thirty one years old.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
It was just really really sad.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
It happened to end of last week as well, Producer Elie,
You're a huge One.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Direction fan, as was many many people around New Zealand.
It's really quite hard.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
Yeah, it's hit me harder than I thought it would.

Speaker 8 (48:38):
Not that I knew thought about it, but I when
I found out, it was obviously a shock, a few
tears and stuff. But then over the weekend aftergot back
from our tour and stuff, and I was just sitting
thinking about it and watching on videos. I just genuinely
have been grieving. And it's quite hard to compute as
well because obviously never met Liam, never met One Direction,
but they had such an imp hacked on my youth

(49:01):
and many other people's youth as well. There was such
a great group, and I think I'm grieving for the
pain that Land was obviously in. You know, the drug
and alcohol addiction he was facing is just tragic. And
I think that it comes down to being famous as
a young person and not having support.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
That's the thing.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
You catapult these kids into superstardom and the scrutiny the
priests and exactly you know, everything's on public display.

Speaker 8 (49:24):
Yeah, and these guys were kind of in the first
round of when social media really was a thing, Like
they really launched into that ten twenty eleven era where
social media was becoming quite big, and I feel like
they were kind of one of the first groups to
face that. And I think another thing we're grieving as
fans is the possibility of one direction reuniting is kind
of gone. And I think that's another thing people are

(49:45):
especially me, I'm like, wow, I just always assume we'd
see them again one day. I just knew they would
because they were only actually on a hiatus. They never
actually broke up. It was really just a break because
it was too much for them obviously, so we were
all like, oh, yeah, I'll come back, You'll be sweet
as And now I think we're all griev that. But
then also the tragedy of Lamb and his story, it's
just awful.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Sun Bear seven years old, Like that's old enough to
comprehend what's happened and what's gone on, and that really
shapes and affects the childhood.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
It does.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
You look at you you talk about fame, and as
you say, like, there's probably a lot of musicians that
would be so thankful for their fame and how well
that their careers have gone. But then obviously there's their
flip side, which you talked about, you know, and the
support that maybe wasn't there totally.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Through the whole.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
And you know, we've got into a hole of watching
old clips of him on you know, X Factor and
stuff where he's just a young kid fourteen at first,
then sixteen came back two years and you know, and
he's there with his family and he gets through and
it's such an emotional, amazing moment. But then you're like,
you pause it there and you're like, if they could
take that moment back the family, would they take it back?
You know, been electrician or something, But you know, but

(50:48):
that it was the biggest thing, and he went on
to be part of one of the biggest grips ever.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
You know, it just makes you think about those things.

Speaker 8 (50:55):
It does, and I think it actually is a good
It's a show of like being famous sometimes isn't as
it might look like. It's actually quite a lonely place
and not many people understand what it's actually like. You
can see old interviews of him talking about his mental
health and you can even.

Speaker 13 (51:08):
See in his brain.

Speaker 8 (51:09):
He doesn't want to reveal it too much because he's
famous and it probably looks like, oh, you know.

Speaker 5 (51:15):
Everything in the world.

Speaker 8 (51:16):
But no, just because you've got money, it doesn't actually
mean that you're happy and whole as a person. So yeah,
I'm just really, really sad and I'm just for my
fellow direction is like out there, I just I'm with you,
and it is okay to be sad about it because
they were a huge part about life.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
And you go, do you need an age limit?

Speaker 3 (51:32):
In an age limit on sending kids out as musical superstars?
Like adults barely comprehend that level of fame lit alone teen,
you know, fourteen, fifteen.

Speaker 6 (51:42):
Year old exactly right, How are you going to tell
someone that really wants to do it. I think it's
less to do with them wanting to do it and
more to do with how we support and we treat people.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Men.

Speaker 8 (51:53):
Yeah, it's important to think about how you act online.
Even just looking at videos of Lemmy. It was a
lot of commentary recently of just cringe compilations, et cetera.
And like, even just viewing those those can have an
impact on him because he'll see, oh, that one had
a million views, that hurts.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
You are and it's tribute.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
You're wearing a one direction T shirt you purchased over
ten twelve years ago.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
About twelve years I have grown up and out of it,
do you know what I mean?

Speaker 12 (52:21):
Well, then you're like, my boobies are too big for
the T shirt now and then but this is before
the show, like well, and you're like, look at all
their faces there stretching now thanks to my big and
we can't look.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
I don't know, and I don't look at Harry's face.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
He looks like it's all stretched.

Speaker 5 (52:41):
Always look like the aged. And they've partaken and a
lot of plastic surgery.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
They've all had facelifts.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
And I'm not looking. I can't look, not gonna look.

Speaker 5 (52:50):
I will wear this all right.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Right, that's a great time.

Speaker 7 (52:54):
The Heads that John and Ben podcast The Riddler.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
We'd like to do this once a week where we

four four eight seven. You can get one hundred dollars

once had a.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Crown, but he's a female. Now it's all gone. I'm
smooth as stone, but nothing's wrong. Time I passed, but

the middle yesterday caught in crossfire conversation. Now to bring
you up to speed, Formula one was on Meghan and
the producer Alie Big Formula One fans. They're watching Liam

(56:40):
Lawson on the television.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah, he's great, it was done great, he was calean.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
But at the same time, there's other big issues at play.
There's a new Wi Fi network here at work, and
we're all trying to connect to that and being that
was becoming the bug beer of your morning. You're trying
