Does the rest of the world celebrate Do they have
their own Labor Days?
Speaker 1 (00:14):

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I think it is it too.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Isn't it to celebrate the work to the work week's restructure?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Wasn't it that?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I think so. I think there's some battler who's like, we.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Are more than one hundred and sixty country celebrate Labor
Day on different and May the first is off on
the holiday you were saying. Canada, it's the first Monday
of September, UK and Islands at the first Monday after
May first as a holiday.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So they go, oh, there you're going it?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Does it celebrates the struggle for an eight hour working day?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You're did right the omeigan.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
But couldn't Dolly Partner have sung like working eleven two three.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, that works for some holidays a week, Yeah, not
quite as nine to five.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Uh oh, guys, I did some time in prison.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, I'll tell you about Well, there's a bit more
of this story that's up first on the podcast, saying
early on the show, I went to my son's basketball
tournament over the weekend. Had a very very funny interaction
with a lovely gentlemen. He's actually very friendly. He had
tatoo's on his face and he had you know, you
get the team's symbol on your cheek there the game
(01:24):
symbol on your check. I mean, I love the hits.
I would I would die for this game. But I
don't know if I get the hits tatooed on my.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Cheek, would you? Would you guys help a check?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'd probably get it somewhere else on your butt.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah. So then he comes up. He's like Jore, no, mate,
how are you? And I'm like, good mate, good, how
are you going?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And I could see some other parents kind of going
oh okay, this is interesting interaction here. He's like, I
haven't seen you in ages, and he loo the type
of guy that I wasn't going to disagree with.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I was like, oh no, it's been ages, mate.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Then great gag from him. He goes, when did you
get out? When did you get out of prison. And
then I could see the other parents look at it,
and I was like, ah hah.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Then they all dispersed and I was like, that's very funny.
He's a bit of a joke there, he said. I
appreciated that. However, the joke continued on later on.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So I'm sitting down and there was some parents of
one of the kids. There is all the team there
from overseas, so they've been here long.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Guys, that's sound very honestly.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
He's like, mate, same guy.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
So no, No, this is another parent, another parent who
witnessed the interaction, and they're like, mate, so happy for
you that you finally got your life on the right
track and you're out here you're supporting your boy. So
he thought that maybe we had done time to get
in prison. And then I was and things, and he
(02:49):
was like, you know, my cousin did some time over
and I was, and he's back on the street. He's
now a Christian. And I'm like to go, I actually
ever done.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And I don't look like.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Do I look like a prison person?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I was like, yeah, the offensive part.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Of that is it was believable. Anyway, I really appreciated
that joke.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Pittsford for taking you on after you did your time.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
That's right, well part of their get back to the
community campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I do appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
And I also appreciated the game, the hits that johnaan
Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
You know, I know you had a big weekend. You
had your two year old's birthday. Very what I saw
on social the color pellet all matched purple.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
She's just everything purple, that girl.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I hope she appreciated the the links you went.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Too, Ah, debatable, she's too so. I mean she likes
pretty things and purple things, so surely. But it was
actually after this weekend that this is a public service
announcement as we hit into summer. I do this a lot,
but this has never happened to me before. So I
was blowing up.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
I felt like one hundred balloons, and so halfway through
again I.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Say, congratulations, that is a lot of balloons.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, it was one hundred because I bought.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Like a pack and your lips, Your lips really do
feel at the end of a sastion like that, don't they.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
And my tongue like maybe from the latex, it was
all like weird.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And they kind of swell up. Your lips a little bit,
don't they.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
One of them actually popped in my face, which is
quite painful. Anyway, I was halfway through and I was like,
I'm gonna sit down and do this. I'm gonna sit
on the ground and do this. I was in like
a short skirt, so when you sit down and I'm like, oh,
the ground's.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Cold on my bum. We're in undiesa but like.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Thankfully you and your mini skirt, you will underpan.
Speaker 8 (04:35):
I'm trying to explain to two guys that when you
sit down sometimes in a short skirt, your bum hats
the ground.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Well, your bumhets the seat. So I'm sitting on.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
The ground blowing up these balloons and I felt like
this little like sharp pain, and I was like what
ow what was that? And then I felt another one
and another one and I was like, okay, I'm getting up.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That's out something. Something's biting your bottom and spit my bum.
Oh yeah, bite.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
I didn't know that ants bit, but I had ants
biting pants.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Was so.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Ants in your pants. I mean, I was like, I
wonder how they got to that, well, blowing up the
balloons at your daughter's birthday, and they.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Bit me, like am I going to get something now.
I don't know the ants.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Bit and you can guarantee one or two ends. Definitely
took a wrong turn, do you mean.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I've been thinking a lot about answer my pants, but
I thought i'd say and you know the places they could.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Go and they might be there. Jeez, guys, we got
lost here.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Well the first one.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Was obviously like yeah, tuck in.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So that's a warning this summer sitting down and so
they'll come for you.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Jack Whitehall very funny UK comedian. You would have seen
them with his Netflix series been on Graham Norton many
times as well. There's a very funny series who travels
around will world with his father and he has a
new one on parenthood as well.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I don't feel prepared yet because I don't know. I'm
a bit of an idiot. I was going to say dreamer.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But Jack white All is coming to New Zealand and
very excited about this January next year Auckland, Wellington, Wellington
and christ Itch. You can see him alive all the
details of had Stockholt and India. And of course he's
bringing his family with him as well, his father and
his mother. I will be joining him on stage, and
we got to catch up with him a couple of
days ago, didn't we. John.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It was like it was like catching up with a
wonderful British auntie and a quaint British cousin.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Jack over zoom, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
He was there and his mum was there as well,
just sitting alongside his mum Hillary.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, he was lovely to see you, Jack, Nice to
see you.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Are you coming to New Zealand? The Famili's coming to
New Zealand. We're very excited about this now is this
is the first time, particularly for you Jack. You haven't
been to New Zealand before.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Right, No, I've been once before in twenty nineteen. I
was on tour there, but I was literally just in
and out. I did two nights and then I was
off on the rest of my tour. And this time
round we have to do it at an eighty four
year old's paces.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
He's also heard how many wineries you've got over there
as well.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we do have a lot of winteries.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The only the only bonus about New Zealand, to be honest,
is you can drink and forget you were here.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Because I know you haven't to drink. Was at that
stage your dad was saying in the promo that you filmed,
He was that he's far too sophisticated for New Zealand,
so is it too late for him to back out?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
To be fair, I think most of those disparaging comments
were aimed at the good people of Australia.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, maybe you.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Were just like dragged under in the current.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well you seeing all the criminals over there, so I
can see why he still thinks like that.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah, I think Australians will be going under the bus.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Jack. We are.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We're huge fans of you and then the family as well.
And there was a really great story about you working
out in Dwayne the Rock Johnson's gymnasium that he takes
around as movie sets.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, I threw my back out on a crosstow.
I'd gone into his Iron Paradise, which is insane, like
it's a you know, the most like kitted out gym
you've ever seen, and he invited me to go for
He was like, do you work out? And I stupidly
said yes.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Was it paradise?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It was hell for me and taking all of the
weights off, all of the bars and so it was
just the bars for me to lift up. But even that,
I was like, I feel like I could end up
getting pinned under each one like a little butterfly. So
I was like, I'll just play it safe and get
on the cross trainer in the corner. And he's there
with a chain like doing you know, dips down one
end of the gym. I was just on this cross trainer,
(08:37):
but I think because I was quite tense, because I
was maybe in his presence and not in my sort
of safe space. I was unfortunately then felt like a
shooting pain in my back and threw my back out
and had to get like physiotherapy.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's just humiliating in front of the rock and vasculating. No,
I don't want to bring things down a little bit,
but I but I love the movie Cliff at the
Big Red Dog. I did, honestly. I've got young kids.
We watched it. It was great. You were in it. Jack,
It was awesome. But I really struggled the fact because
I love you as a comedian and you're British and
then you were doing an American accent. Great too, but
then your sister was British, and I was like why
(09:13):
not make them both of you British.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It was very confusing, and then John Clees who was
also British, and then the daughter was American. Yeah, it
was a little confusing. It was all to do with
source material.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I believe all right. Sang true to the story of
Clifford the big Red Dog.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
The issue where people couldn't suspend their disbelief any further
and it was you weren't alone. There was a lot
of people. I just don't believe American.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We're huge fans of what you do. We can't wait
for you to be in New Zealand, Auckland, Wellington and
christ Yitch next year. People need to go along and see,
if not for the last but also for the photos
as well. Thanks so much of your time.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
Hits the johonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
A big weekend of sport over the weekend they're all
black speit Japan, the kiwis just the lost to Australia
was a good close game. Then the league as well,
the Auckland f C. The football team the second one
that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, two from two so far. That's how does it
make the other teams feel? They've just turned up started
the club and under a year and then coming with
two wins in a row.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Oh well yeah, I mean it's a long season, but
it's pretty good start, pretty good start.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Am I getting too coffee?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
There was a goal just allowed by Sydney towards the
end the way school, but it's the guitar that it's
a great day that starts on Fernstead really really well
as well. They're in Caning, Australia in the series, which
and Liam Lawson we get to Megan.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
So for Mexican Grand Prix went down yesterday and there
was lots of reports that came out today that he
pulled the fingers at someone.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, now he's driving past what's.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Studio Praiers Who's he's in? Red Bull Racing.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
So essentially these two Liam and Peirez, they're they're battling
for the seat that pres is currently in.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
So there's no love lost between these two.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
So they're under the same umbrella Red Bull Racing.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Separate teams.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Okay, so Liam Lawson passes him, there's there's a touch.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
On the serious.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What's he saying there? Is he serious?
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So it sounds like you've been trying to get past
him for a while.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
That was fighting for tenth place.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Yeah, and there was just like racing, it's just racing.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's racing. Now. As he went past, he did what
some motorists on the.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I literally saw someone doing it on the motorway yesterday,
flipping the other drivers the bird.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, this person I saw. Yes, they also did that
up and.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Down your hand and they're like, he did this, and
we were like, John and I came. We had watched
the race. You guys, you would produce Ali really big
on you for one and you were and we're like, oh,
he flipped the bird because that was the articles I read.
And then in both you and producer Ali were like,
oh not Liam, No, not the limb. It must have
been a miss. No, I wouldn't have been there. You
just putting his hand up for something.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You'ren Mansfield.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
You started defending he wouldn't do that, No, Liam, And
then I looked at article and I was like, oh, no,
Liab Lawson apologizes for flipping the.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Bitch because I said it was out of character, because
Liah is what.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You said, and how do you know you've talked to
him punished the jewelry thing of something.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
We chatted for like fifteen minutes. I don't know if
it was against his will, but he stood there.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Patially smiled because you left. He pulled the figures that.
It seems like a lovely boke.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
He's always very humble and he was very complimentary when
he replaced I'm going to get deep Daniel Ricardo. He
was always very sweet and humble, So it just seems
weird that he flipped.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The booth lim we know.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, it's there's a lot of pressure, there's a
lot going on if someone's not passing, and there's a
lot of stuff that happens in sport that wouldn't normally happen.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
And he's fighting for that seat.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And you don't get I imagine to that level of
motor racing without being.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Competitive you and without being a little crazy on the track.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Have a little bit of fire in the belly.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
What about when Travis kelce at the coach that was
very aggressive and her space out of Yeah, that's.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
One finger, but Travis Kelcey gets agreesive in space is
very good.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Friend, got agressive.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Twenty is an hour completely separated by a car.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
When's the next race for Liam Lawsome I think it's
this weekie. Very exciting they tune through.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Here's a triple hitter at the moment if if I'm correct, Yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Get to see the worl don't they the whole corners
of the world. I reckon if I was running the
the cost on this formula, and I was like, we all.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And just keep it on the same.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That John and Ben podcast, A long labor weekend. Hope
it was a good one for you. Great to see
the road toll was at zero first time in a
long time.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
My great stance there. You see, it was busy out
there on the stay.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, a lot of slowing down, a lot of pointless
when you're like, why why are we slowing down? What's
what's going on there?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And then you realize why you're slow down because you'rekeeping
the road told.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Er some one lane bridge or something like that, which
always confuses me, the one lane bridge signs. Maybe that's
why everyone slows down.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Do you just green arrow means you wait?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No, no, But the way they've got the arrows pointed
and stuff with the thing, I was just like, why
don't they just say you give way? Like one of
these signs are saying give way and not you know, give.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Way this side rather than arrow on the side.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You look like they're putting in the wrong direction. Like
if you got up there and it was like this
side gives way to the other side, you'd be like, sweet,
I can see.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There got an arrow that points I'm going to a
big white arrow that goes down, don't you And then
this tiny little red one that comes my car.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Could we go that way? Could we go that way?
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You're only at that time going one way.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But I'm not going up all down, meg, I'm going
to go along the road. That's not really confuses it's
the arrow.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
On the left that's on the same side.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
As They always confused me too when you're in a
suburban street.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And sometimes they didn't hang on. Sorry. Sometimes you're white
and black and other times a ridden black.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You know, like I know, but black means no, Like
why is red not no readers?
Speaker 7 (15:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, exus, it's no.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
I don't think I struggle.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I have tell you one thing. We're not going
to solve it right now. We're a thirty on a
Tuesday morning. Leave it to New Zealand Land Transports safe.
You're throwady.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Sometimes things that whine have.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I hope it's me. Hope it's me.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
We're going for it.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, but speaking of kids right now, I ain't in
the car there last week. Now you're away on Friday, Megan.
But Thursday afternoon picking up kids around the place, doing
some work in the car as I often do, put
my laptop safely in the back seat one of my daughters.
So you know, I got into the car, put a
bag on top of my laptop, which generally would have
been fine, but a drink bottle leaked all through the laptop,
(15:54):
all through the seat.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Tainted bottle. Now the infrastration gun, laptop's broken. So the
frustration is he's told her to throw.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The bottle out and a previous yeah, because I knew
at Lake just because of the anyway anyway, just because
of the arrow situation on the bridge.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Me and and Prosto made a little bit leaky their bottle.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So now your laptop, it was drenched in water. It
was wasn't working Friday morning. You bought your daughter's laptop
and that was punishment to her.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, was she had a teacher's only days like great,
but then today and today I was like, do anyone
not need their laptop and my wife needs heres, and
my uncy and it needs here, and he's not good
to me. She has their laptop.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You're no good to me. But you look you look
a bit.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Naked laptop today. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Actually, yeah, she's bashing away at emails. I know.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
So I've got the work computer, the old standard desktop
that I'm trying to use right now, flicking between tabs
and all sorts.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Of the old Dell.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
They'll never let you down, is it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, So we want to talk this morning about CAD
damage because I've taken mine end to get fixed. Hopefully
it will get fixed to having her back because the
long weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So do an insurance job on it. That's what I
was telling you to do.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
But then you're like, I have to send it away
to Wellington and it'll take a Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
First ask the work teics you do you do? Just
tell them it's your work laptop.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Get to work laptops that Megan gets some work laptop
work and she knows how, she knows how the arrow
system does something in there.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Have you got kids in your life and the most
amount of damage they have caused, because to let's be honest,
they don't know the ramifications. They don't know the costs
associated with the replacement Edmund that's associated with what.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
They've destroyed, your your family's deal with.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
They're not using adelas that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
We're talking kids, kids damage to make me feel a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Better after a leaky water bottle from his daughter's bag
ruined his laptop. Can I just say, if we're in
an age where we're stressing about robots taking over the
world and stealing our jobs, surely waterproof laptop should be
a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Surely true.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Surely I thought you were going to say, surely we
can just pull water on the road them off they
get too luppy.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well, you're getting too good at this job. Get out
the old garden hose. That's good.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah, so that's a really good to Let's not waterproof
things in that's a great solution.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now, Jeanne, good morning, How are you?
Speaker 9 (18:21):
Good morning? How are you guys?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We're doing well. Now we're talking about kids causing a
bit of damage. What happened to your to you?
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Ah, so after the last school holidays, I've got a
rather large plumber's bill.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
What happened?
Speaker 9 (18:36):
So the kids waited until I was in the shower,
and decided that they'd make a taktalk of what could
go down the west.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Oh god, that is a good tipto. What sort of
interesting items were they testing out there?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Janine?
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Okay, so the plumber pulled out water balloons, slim.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Tis tis ball How did they even fit through the circle.
Speaker 9 (19:03):
Well, I think one of them might have pushed it
with their hand.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Wow, luckily we have all the fingers adventurous stuff. So
what what ones did next? You go into it? Like,
did the gurgler get rid of any of these or not?
Speaker 9 (19:16):

and a transformer.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The googlers I chucked down avocados stones and lost the stones.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, I think that's taking a risk. But boy, a
tennis ball and a transformer.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
Yeah, you're lucky that avocado doesn't like bouncepeck and hit
you in the eye. Don't do that, it's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah I know this, Yeah I should. Well, I do
back off from it.
Speaker 3 (19:42):

it's got an avocado's stone in there. Thanks for you,

Speaker 13 (22:58):
Many many years ago? My younger sister decided that she
no longer wanted to be deaf. She didn't like being
the only deaf person in the family. And this is
when hearing as are still quite expensive and you had
to make molds for your ear, and she decided bugres
took it out and slashed them. Doesn't swell it?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And what talking thousands of dollars there thousands? I can
see a solution. Did it cure the hearing loss issue? No, no,
they're crazy now hearing it. Have you seen them now
that they're kind of like can be Bluetooth as well.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
They cook it hook up to your phone and.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yeah, my dad always hoops up to the TV and
the phone and yeah.
Speaker 13 (23:40):
But back then not so advanced and very expensive.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, well, hey, thanks for you cool. Appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Apparently you could put them on mute too. Yeah, you
don't want to hear anyone talking. He doesn't mute them,
and he dream results.

He turns down the like how many people around the room,
So you can turn down like background atmosphere and all sorts.
Speaker 5 (23:59):

tapping his ear.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Are your secret service or something like that would be
good to put like on narration mode.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Here comes me again. There would be some of the
stuff there.

Good old morning, Brittany. Hello, hell we had to kind
of foward Italian there for some part of it. Good
to have you on, Brittany. Most amount of kid damage.
Speaker 14 (24:27):
Well, I'm not so much a kid, but I did
this to my mum about three weeks ago. We had
a bit of a domino effect where I mistaken the
exagerator of my calf or the breaks of the accelerator,
and I drove my calf through the garage, which crashed
into the back of my mum's care which pushed my
mom's car forward into the fridge, completely destroyed that and
(24:48):
the fridge went into the wall.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh god, that's a that's a real trifector, you got,
I know.
Speaker 14 (24:56):
And I was in a complete shop for ages. And then
my mom was like, okay, could be repaired.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
And then you're like, you do have insurance day?

Appreciate you call Brittany.
Speaker 14 (25:13):
We can laugh about it one day, but not yet said.
Speaker 1 (25:16):

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Sometimes you're like, well, not now, not now, anything like
that happens in our lives.
Speaker 2 (25:21):

Speaker 7 (25:25):
The hits that John and Ben podcast producer.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Graces and with their new game we started last week
the music game. But you went to the Auckland f
C over the weekend, producer Grace.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It was a great game, second one for the Aukland
f C, which is pretty cool. On the football league.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
She's there on fire, aren't.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
They just allowed goal by the other team towards right
at the end, and then it was pretty much the
last minute goal and extra time.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I know nothing about football, so when they just allowed
the goal, I was like, what is happening? I didn't
know that was it was fun, it was so good. Yeah, yeah,
I didn't know. You're a football fan.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Now I am.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Now what you do here with this game?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
You stripped back music, like take the naked naked music
and take the clothes off, and we start with the
drum beat, and we've got to try and figure out
what the song is exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Now this might.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Sound like the most obvious stupid statement, but for me,
I am either going to get it or I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
If I don't have it in the first drum beat,
there's no chance for me to get the song, right.
Is that the same for you?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I have got I think I've got a single one.
To be honest, this as soon as.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
You'd start getting more of the song, it makes it easier.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We should do yeah, and we must.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
We must send a shout out to the bandle for
allowing us to plagiarize this idea.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I feel like everyone everyone's kind of sounds the same. Yeah,
it could be that song, got that song? But anyway,

I we've had a few m C gigs lately, Ben,
and one one stick we do is Ben flashes up
some embarrassing images of me. Okay, now these uh, these
are degrading photos that sort of are sitting a special
folder on my phone and the images people should never see.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You've got them. So there was a bit of a
gag we're doing the other day. It was kind of
like there were people in the room were but there
was also people joining in over zoom around the country, right,
So we're like encouraging them to send in their watch
party photos. And then every now and again I would
just flash up a photo's have a look at the photos. Oh,
this one's great, and this one's great, this is and
you plumb, Oh, this one's great, and there'll be a
pun of John O and an embarrassing fun.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, and there's so many of them, Like it's you
provided all these fun So this is that.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's the first one.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
It's a western themed one where I've got a cowboy
head on and I'm naked and there's a gun holster
appropriately place.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Okay, that's one fair enough to way to not recognize
that that was a gun holster?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
What was the backstory behind that photo? You know, I
don't know. It's one of those things you got on
the Gold Coaster and you walk along they're like, want
to get a photo? Is a Western thing? You're like, oh,
I guess. You know. You put on hats and stuff
and you stand in a saloon and you look like
you did one of those.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Should we.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Seen you in that state of Andrews before? But every
time it gives me a wee fright.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
You're like, you're so white, You're so milky, pasty white,
And I am was that?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Was it a tourist trap that you got?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I honestly have no recollection of why that why that
photo shoot took the rest of the family are like, oh,
now we don't want to be at this.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You're like, oh do it. I don't need a shirt
or pants.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
So that photo was one of many seekers so to
send them to the people to put up on this
the screen, the av screen. Now what's happened is the
photo's gone out of the circle of trust and entered
my friends in box who also works and I did
no work to the company, realized I just so you know,
I've got that photo of you, but sending.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It around the team.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Oh god, this now this doesn't need to get out
to firstly, a district court.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
We don't want we don't want sitting into court, do you.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
But there's one of those images that if you if
you saw it pop up on TikTok or and there's
no backstory to it.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You don't know the orgers.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I don't even know the backstory.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
I know exactly, I can't even explain the backstory. Just
know that there probably is a backstory. I just can't
think of it just yet. Put it up on the
breakfast there now, all right, we'll put that up there.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
You can now see that on our Instagram, the.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, we wanted to know this morning. What is the
thing that your parents always claim? What's their claim to fame?
Because my dad's still claiming this Victor Vito very good
All Black, great rugby player and now not playing for
the All Blacks. I think he's playing overseas at the moment.
I think my dad still keeps in touch with him
because my dad was a school principal and Victor Vito
came to his school at a very young age. And
(35:46):
Dad always likes to say that my dad's claim to
fame is that he made Victor Vito play rugby. He's like,
I every time the All Backs will play with them
one thing, it's like that it was all cause of me.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I got him when he came to your father.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
He still play and played rugby very young, but he
was very big at that age begun and he's like,
what sport do you play? And I can't remember what
he said, but he's like, well, now you play rugby
because we need you on the team, and yeah, talk
to me.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
In part.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
We probably do have to give a little bit of
credit to Victor Fedo as well.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Made him play it.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I keep saying, it's like, you make me play rugby
and I wouldn't be you know, but my dad's claimed
to famous and it's lovely. They still keep in touch
and you know, they still miss miss each other. It's
lovely and he's very grateful. But at the same time,
I'm like, it's it's pretty much ninety nine point nine
percent victory and maybe.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Zero point one. I've actually missed it. I deemed Victor
Veito on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I don't he doesn't follow me because I wanted him
to come on to verify your dad's wild claim. Yeah,
but I found out the case is still open whether
your father is as the reason Victor Edo was an
all black it wasn't a black.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah, well good good claim to fame though, like every
time he bought a rugby game, you could go.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Look, you know, I made him.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah I was responsible for that. You weren't really, but.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
It's has wayno got a claim to fame.
Speaker 8 (37:02):
And Nelson the Amigan, I'm sure he does I.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Can't what if you could think of it?
Speaker 8 (37:08):
Yeah, no, No, My mom loves the fact that she
once met Rol Harris and I was like that age.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
There's a photo of.
Speaker 8 (37:16):
The two of them together and I don't know where
Roll's hands are.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Well, that's not a great.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
She needs to stop pibling that one.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
And it's at the time that would have been probably
a good claim. He was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Jesus's hands got away on him, didn't they.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, isn't that category of are they still living or
they did? Yeah, I'm not feel like he might no
longer be with us, But that's a great that's.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
A great claim to fame, your parents claim to fame.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Any She used to be a journalist and she was
a reporter for the paper, and so she would always
like she.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Was always oh, I partied with him.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
So like former MPs from years gone by, you know
when they had photos of people at Parliament it was
all in black and white.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, those are like.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Rich oh Richard Prebble, Dicky Prebble before we party together
and he was so she was.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
A journalist and they party to get bad. Imagine back
then they would have been like no phones, no phones,
who won't be won't be printing this. There would be
some sort of arrangement, right.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
How many years ago did they party together?
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Yeah, for the reason my middle name is Richard, But
you know there was a there was a different time.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Rolf was probably out there getting away with some stuff.

he's responsible for for more black Victor Fito playing rugby
for New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
I mean, he loosely for getting him into rugby.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I know, but I feel like he would have found
his way there regardless of whether my dad said it
or not.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
But the talent's kind of on exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, but good on giving it. It's a good claim

Across with Victor Vigo actually officially met him? Like I
think it might have met him when he was very young,
but yeah, not since he's been all black victive.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Kind of sounds like your dad talks to Victim more
than he probably He's like, oh, the son I wish I.
Speaker 16 (39:11):
Had parents calls his dad and your your mom had
a photo was Rolf Harris.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
That's her claimed when she was very young, and you
said the photograph could get Rolf in a lot of trouble,
then she needs to get rid of the photo.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Did she put it up on the wall? Did you
put it?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It was?
Speaker 5 (39:32):
I've seen it and I went on her Facebook. I
think at one point too, she scanned the photo.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Oh yeah, I guess no one was.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
We didn't know what then, tell you what there are
there be a few Diddy photos with people betting deleted
from the photo stream at the moment. You're right, but
no one knows what's going on. Your parents claim to fame.

he thought she looked like she was a little bit
out of place, but kind of wasn't sure till later.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
So it's just your did just you dad, no one
else there.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
And the problem is with with parents, recollections and who
they think they might have seen or might not have seen.
Can never be one hundred percent certain. Has it been
verified Amber, No?
Speaker 17 (40:51):
Not.
Speaker 15 (40:52):

a security person was there and another guy.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Okay potentially, I mean no, one can say you didn't see.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
No, and it wouldn't seem a very unusual thing for
him to claim, you know, like, so no photo, he
didn't take a sneaky photo or anything.
Speaker 17 (41:20):
I ate, No, it's train to map.
Speaker 1 (41:23):

It's good claim to fight here.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
It's a great claim to Fine, you're always got to
do the sneaky photo, don't you?
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Just so they know you did that? With Jack Blair
still behind, agree that.
Speaker 8 (41:34):
There's you're one of two people, the one that goes
up and punishes them.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
Is so you your dad goes up and like hello,
are you Katy Perry.
Speaker 8 (41:41):
Which is embarrassing, or yeah, they hide away and don't
do anything about it.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
I don't know which is worse out of the two options.
Now great text here for for Ay seven. My Dare's
claim to fame as he helped build the roller coaster
at Rainbow's in yet petrified to go on it.

Another one here my appearance claimed to my dad's claim
to famous. He met four members of the royal family Willie,
Charles Camiller, Fergie.
Speaker 1 (42:10):

Speaker 7 (42:40):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Still a week of course, it is Halloween and just
two days time, the second largest commercial holiday in the USA.
They froth for it. But it feels like more and
more Keywies froth for it every year here in New
Zealand's the younger crowd loving it.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
I'm frothing for it.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Hopefully.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
I was thinking over the weekend, hopefully we've got those
myth lollies out of circulation now? Of those a few
months ago, hopefully did they find them?
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I think hopefully they got rid of them.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
As I was buying fruit bursts yesterday at the supermarket
for Halloween, I was thinking, oh, hope you are, They're
no longer a thing?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Well are? There's some stats I was looking at this
morning from America because obviously it's massive over there. One
in five adults pretend usually pretend not to be on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Like behind the door. It's a good play.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
It's been around since the before Christianity Halloween, but pre
Christian times, so they go a long long time.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
And your states, Have you got how much Americans spend
on Halloween?
Speaker 12 (43:34):
No?
Speaker 5 (43:35):
Do you want to guess? It's wild?
Speaker 2 (43:37):
One point two billion more billion.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Eleven point six billion.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Wow, So it's behind Christmas and the biggest second largest
commercial holiday eleven billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (43:48):
It's huge on costumes and aias.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
I'm glad it's starting to pick out some steam here
because for a few years we're just kind of check
on a mum's old sheets on over your head. Do
you kind of like little mini clan members when you
were cut out? But now the costumes are brilliant and
you're right, there's a lot of people out on the
street on Halloween night.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Yeah, it's a big deal here in New Zealand's as well.
So I thought, you know, a couple of days before Halloween,
we had some wonderful costumes last week left over from Spotlight.
Every day I dressed up, and so I thought, why
don't get here listen a little bit earlier, and I'll
give you know, some some surprises to people. First, I've
targeted you, John, I thought I'll give you a fright

Sorry, I was really fine apull this morning?
Speaker 1 (44:38):
You know what else arrived? Mean you're already here, but

arrive sound? While I smoked back and forth from the
coast about four or five times. Yeah, I was waiting

quite as nine to five.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Uh oh, guys, I did some time in prison.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, I'll tell you about Well, there's a bit more
of this story that's up first on the podcast, saying
early on the show, I went to my son's basketball
tournament over the weekend. Had a very very funny interaction
with a lovely gentlemen. He's actually very friendly. He had
tatoo's on his face and he had you know, you
get the team's symbol on your cheek there the game
(01:24):
symbol on your check. I mean, I love the hits.
I would I would die for this game. But I
don't know if I get the hits tatooed on my.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Cheek, would you? Would you guys help a check?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'd probably get it somewhere else on your butt.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah. So then he comes up. He's like Jore, no, mate,
how are you? And I'm like, good mate, good, how
are you going?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And I could see some other parents kind of going
oh okay, this is interesting interaction here. He's like, I
haven't seen you in ages, and he loo the type
of guy that I wasn't going to disagree with.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I was like, oh no, it's been ages, mate.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Then great gag from him. He goes, when did you
get out? When did you get out of prison. And
then I could see the other parents look at it,
and I was like, ah hah.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Then they all dispersed and I was like, that's very funny.
He's a bit of a joke there, he said. I
appreciated that. However, the joke continued on later on.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So I'm sitting down and there was some parents of
one of the kids. There is all the team there
from overseas, so they've been here long.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Guys, that's sound very honestly.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
He's like, mate, same guy.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
So no, No, this is another parent, another parent who
witnessed the interaction, and they're like, mate, so happy for
you that you finally got your life on the right
track and you're out here you're supporting your boy. So
he thought that maybe we had done time to get
in prison. And then I was and things, and he
(02:49):
was like, you know, my cousin did some time over
and I was, and he's back on the street. He's
now a Christian. And I'm like to go, I actually
ever done.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And I don't look like.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Do I look like a prison person?
Speaker 6 (02:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
I was like, yeah, the offensive part.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Of that is it was believable. Anyway, I really appreciated
that joke.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
That's right, well part of their get back to the
community campaign.

had your two year old's birthday. Very what I saw
on social the color pellet all matched purple.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
She's just everything purple, that girl.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I hope she appreciated the the links you went.
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Too, Ah, debatable, she's too so. I mean she likes
pretty things and purple things, so surely. But it was
actually after this weekend that this is a public service
announcement as we hit into summer. I do this a lot,
but this has never happened to me before. So I
was blowing up.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
I felt like one hundred balloons, and so halfway through
again I.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Say, congratulations, that is a lot of balloons.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, it was one hundred because I bought.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Like a pack and your lips, Your lips really do
feel at the end of a sastion like that, don't they.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
And my tongue like maybe from the latex, it was
all like weird.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And they kind of swell up. Your lips a little bit,
don't they.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
One of them actually popped in my face, which is
quite painful. Anyway, I was halfway through and I was like,
I'm gonna sit down and do this. I'm gonna sit
on the ground and do this. I was in like
a short skirt, so when you sit down and I'm like, oh,
the ground's.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Cold on my bum. We're in undiesa but like.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Thankfully you and your mini skirt, you will underpan.
Speaker 8 (04:35):
I'm trying to explain to two guys that when you
sit down sometimes in a short skirt, your bum hats
the ground.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Well, your bumhets the seat. So I'm sitting on.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
The ground blowing up these balloons and I felt like
this little like sharp pain, and I was like what
ow what was that? And then I felt another one
and another one and I was like, okay, I'm getting up.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That's out something. Something's biting your bottom and spit my bum.
Oh yeah, bite.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
I didn't know that ants bit, but I had ants
biting pants.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Was so.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Ants in your pants. I mean, I was like, I
wonder how they got to that, well, blowing up the
balloons at your daughter's birthday, and they.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Bit me, like am I going to get something now.
I don't know the ants.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Bit and you can guarantee one or two ends. Definitely
took a wrong turn, do you mean.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I've been thinking a lot about answer my pants, but
I thought i'd say and you know the places they could.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Go and they might be there. Jeez, guys, we got
lost here.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Well the first one.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
Was obviously like yeah, tuck in.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So that's a warning this summer sitting down and so
they'll come for you.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Jack Whitehall very funny UK comedian. You would have seen
them with his Netflix series been on Graham Norton many
times as well. There's a very funny series who travels
around will world with his father and he has a
new one on parenthood as well.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I don't feel prepared yet because I don't know. I'm
a bit of an idiot. I was going to say dreamer.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But Jack white All is coming to New Zealand and
very excited about this January next year Auckland, Wellington, Wellington
and christ Itch. You can see him alive all the
details of had Stockholt and India. And of course he's
bringing his family with him as well, his father and
his mother. I will be joining him on stage, and
we got to catch up with him a couple of
days ago, didn't we. John.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
It was like it was like catching up with a
wonderful British auntie and a quaint British cousin.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Jack over zoom, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
He was there and his mum was there as well,
just sitting alongside his mum Hillary.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, he was lovely to see you, Jack, Nice to
see you.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Are you coming to New Zealand? The Famili's coming to
New Zealand. We're very excited about this now is this
is the first time, particularly for you Jack. You haven't
been to New Zealand before.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Right, No, I've been once before in twenty nineteen. I
was on tour there, but I was literally just in
and out. I did two nights and then I was
off on the rest of my tour. And this time
round we have to do it at an eighty four
year old's paces.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
He's also heard how many wineries you've got over there
as well.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we do have a lot of winteries.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The only the only bonus about New Zealand, to be honest,
is you can drink and forget you were here.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Because I know you haven't to drink. Was at that
stage your dad was saying in the promo that you filmed,
He was that he's far too sophisticated for New Zealand,
so is it too late for him to back out?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
To be fair, I think most of those disparaging comments
were aimed at the good people of Australia.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, maybe you.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Were just like dragged under in the current.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well you seeing all the criminals over there, so I
can see why he still thinks like that.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah, I think Australians will be going under the bus.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Jack. We are.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We're huge fans of you and then the family as well.
And there was a really great story about you working
out in Dwayne the Rock Johnson's gymnasium that he takes
around as movie sets.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, I threw my back out on a crosstow.
I'd gone into his Iron Paradise, which is insane, like
it's a you know, the most like kitted out gym
you've ever seen, and he invited me to go for
He was like, do you work out? And I stupidly
said yes.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Was it paradise?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It was hell for me and taking all of the
weights off, all of the bars and so it was
just the bars for me to lift up. But even that,
I was like, I feel like I could end up
getting pinned under each one like a little butterfly. So
I was like, I'll just play it safe and get
on the cross trainer in the corner. And he's there
with a chain like doing you know, dips down one
end of the gym. I was just on this cross trainer,
(08:37):
but I think because I was quite tense, because I
was maybe in his presence and not in my sort
of safe space. I was unfortunately then felt like a
shooting pain in my back and threw my back out
and had to get like physiotherapy.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's just humiliating in front of the rock and vasculating. No,
I don't want to bring things down a little bit,
but I but I love the movie Cliff at the
Big Red Dog. I did, honestly. I've got young kids.
We watched it. It was great. You were in it. Jack,
It was awesome. But I really struggled the fact because
I love you as a comedian and you're British and
then you were doing an American accent. Great too, but
then your sister was British, and I was like why
(09:13):
not make them both of you British.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
It was very confusing, and then John Clees who was
also British, and then the daughter was American. Yeah, it
was a little confusing. It was all to do with
source material.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I believe all right. Sang true to the story of
Clifford the big Red Dog.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
The issue where people couldn't suspend their disbelief any further
and it was you weren't alone. There was a lot
of people. I just don't believe American.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
We're huge fans of what you do. We can't wait
for you to be in New Zealand, Auckland, Wellington and
christ Yitch next year. People need to go along and see,
if not for the last but also for the photos
as well. Thanks so much of your time.

as well. They're in Caning, Australia in the series, which
and Liam Lawson we get to Megan.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
So for Mexican Grand Prix went down yesterday and there
was lots of reports that came out today that he
pulled the fingers at someone.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, now he's driving past what's.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Studio Praiers Who's he's in? Red Bull Racing.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
So essentially these two Liam and Peirez, they're they're battling
for the seat that pres is currently in.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
So there's no love lost between these two.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
So they're under the same umbrella Red Bull Racing.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Separate teams.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Okay, so Liam Lawson passes him, there's there's a touch.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
On the serious.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
What's he saying there? Is he serious?
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So it sounds like you've been trying to get past
him for a while.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
That was fighting for tenth place.
Speaker 8 (11:24):
Yeah, and there was just like racing, it's just racing.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's racing. Now. As he went past, he did what
some motorists on the.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I literally saw someone doing it on the motorway yesterday,
flipping the other drivers the bird.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, this person I saw. Yes, they also did that
up and.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Down your hand and they're like, he did this, and
we were like, John and I came. We had watched
the race. You guys, you would produce Ali really big
on you for one and you were and we're like, oh,
he flipped the bird because that was the articles I read.
And then in both you and producer Ali were like,
oh not Liam, No, not the limb. It must have
been a miss. No, I wouldn't have been there. You
just putting his hand up for something.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
You'ren Mansfield.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
You started defending he wouldn't do that, No, Liam, And
then I looked at article and I was like, oh, no,
Liab Lawson apologizes for flipping the.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Bitch because I said it was out of character, because
Liah is what.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You said, and how do you know you've talked to
him punished the jewelry thing of something.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
We chatted for like fifteen minutes. I don't know if
it was against his will, but he stood there.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Patially smiled because you left. He pulled the figures that.
It seems like a lovely boke.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
He's always very humble and he was very complimentary when
he replaced I'm going to get deep Daniel Ricardo. He
was always very sweet and humble, So it just seems
weird that he flipped.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The booth lim we know.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I mean, it's there's a lot of pressure, there's a
lot going on if someone's not passing, and there's a
lot of stuff that happens in sport that wouldn't normally happen.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
And he's fighting for that seat.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And you don't get I imagine to that level of
motor racing without being.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Competitive you and without being a little crazy on the track.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Have a little bit of fire in the belly.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
What about when Travis kelce at the coach that was
very aggressive and her space out of Yeah, that's.
Speaker 8 (13:12):
One finger, but Travis Kelcey gets agreesive in space is
very good.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Friend, got agressive.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Twenty is an hour completely separated by a car.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
When's the next race for Liam Lawsome I think it's
this weekie. Very exciting they tune through.
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Here's a triple hitter at the moment if if I'm correct, Yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Get to see the worl don't they the whole corners
of the world. I reckon if I was running the
the cost on this formula, and I was like, we all.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And just keep it on the same.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That John and Ben podcast, A long labor weekend. Hope
it was a good one for you. Great to see
the road toll was at zero first time in a
long time.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
My great stance there. You see, it was busy out
there on the stay.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, a lot of slowing down, a lot of pointless
when you're like, why why are we slowing down? What's
what's going on there?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And then you realize why you're slow down because you'rekeeping
the road told.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Er some one lane bridge or something like that, which
always confuses me, the one lane bridge signs. Maybe that's
why everyone slows down.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Do you just green arrow means you wait?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
No, no, But the way they've got the arrows pointed
and stuff with the thing, I was just like, why
don't they just say you give way? Like one of
these signs are saying give way and not you know, give.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Way this side rather than arrow on the side.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You look like they're putting in the wrong direction. Like
if you got up there and it was like this
side gives way to the other side, you'd be like, sweet,
I can see.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There got an arrow that points I'm going to a
big white arrow that goes down, don't you And then
this tiny little red one that comes my car.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Could we go that way? Could we go that way?
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You're only at that time going one way.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But I'm not going up all down, meg, I'm going
to go along the road. That's not really confuses it's
the arrow.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
On the left that's on the same side.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
As They always confused me too when you're in a
suburban street.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And sometimes they didn't hang on. Sorry. Sometimes you're white
and black and other times a ridden black.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You know, like I know, but black means no, Like
why is red not no readers?
Speaker 7 (15:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, exus, it's no.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
I don't think I struggle.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I have tell you one thing. We're not going
to solve it right now. We're a thirty on a
Tuesday morning. Leave it to New Zealand Land Transports safe.
You're throwady.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Sometimes things that whine have.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I hope it's me. Hope it's me.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
We're going for it.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, but speaking of kids right now, I ain't in
the car there last week. Now you're away on Friday, Megan.
But Thursday afternoon picking up kids around the place, doing
some work in the car as I often do, put
my laptop safely in the back seat one of my daughters.
So you know, I got into the car, put a
bag on top of my laptop, which generally would have
been fine, but a drink bottle leaked all through the laptop,
(15:54):
all through the seat.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Tainted bottle. Now the infrastration gun, laptop's broken. So the
frustration is he's told her to throw.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The bottle out and a previous yeah, because I knew
at Lake just because of the anyway anyway, just because
of the arrow situation on the bridge.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Me and and Prosto made a little bit leaky their bottle.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So now your laptop, it was drenched in water. It
was wasn't working Friday morning. You bought your daughter's laptop
and that was punishment to her.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, was she had a teacher's only days like great,
but then today and today I was like, do anyone
not need their laptop and my wife needs heres, and
my uncy and it needs here, and he's not good
to me. She has their laptop.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
You're no good to me. But you look you look
a bit.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Naked laptop today. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Actually, yeah, she's bashing away at emails. I know.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
So I've got the work computer, the old standard desktop
that I'm trying to use right now, flicking between tabs
and all sorts.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Of the old Dell.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
They'll never let you down, is it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, So we want to talk this morning about CAD
damage because I've taken mine end to get fixed. Hopefully
it will get fixed to having her back because the
long weekend.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So do an insurance job on it. That's what I
was telling you to do.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
But then you're like, I have to send it away
to Wellington and it'll take a Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
First ask the work teics you do you do? Just
tell them it's your work laptop.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Get to work laptops that Megan gets some work laptop
work and she knows how, she knows how the arrow
system does something in there.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Have you got kids in your life and the most
amount of damage they have caused, because to let's be honest,
they don't know the ramifications. They don't know the costs
associated with the replacement Edmund that's associated with what.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
They've destroyed, your your family's deal with.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
They're not using adelas that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
We're talking kids, kids damage to make me feel a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Better after a leaky water bottle from his daughter's bag
ruined his laptop. Can I just say, if we're in
an age where we're stressing about robots taking over the
world and stealing our jobs, surely waterproof laptop should be
a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Surely true.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Surely I thought you were going to say, surely we
can just pull water on the road them off they
get too luppy.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well, you're getting too good at this job. Get out
the old garden hose. That's good.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah, so that's a really good to Let's not waterproof
things in that's a great solution.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now, Jeanne, good morning, How are you?
Speaker 9 (18:21):
Good morning? How are you guys?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We're doing well. Now we're talking about kids causing a
bit of damage. What happened to your to you?
Speaker 9 (18:29):
Ah, so after the last school holidays, I've got a
rather large plumber's bill.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
What happened?
Speaker 9 (18:36):
So the kids waited until I was in the shower,
and decided that they'd make a taktalk of what could
go down the west.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Oh god, that is a good tipto. What sort of
interesting items were they testing out there?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Janine?
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Okay, so the plumber pulled out water balloons, slim.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Tis tis ball How did they even fit through the circle.
Speaker 9 (19:03):
Well, I think one of them might have pushed it
with their hand.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Wow, luckily we have all the fingers adventurous stuff. So
what what ones did next? You go into it? Like,
did the gurgler get rid of any of these or not?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
I haven't finished. They also put down a hot wheel
and a transformer.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The googlers I chucked down avocados stones and lost the stones.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, I think that's taking a risk. But boy, a
tennis ball and a transformer.
Speaker 9 (19:31):
Yeah, you're lucky that avocado doesn't like bouncepeck and hit
you in the eye. Don't do that, it's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah I know this, Yeah I should. Well, I do
back off from it.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It feels like it's it's circulating into another dimension when
it's got an avocado's stone in there. Thanks for you,
A cool mate appreciated Tracey's with us on eight hundred

I've got to make an insurance claim now. And then
of course damage the power box at the top of
the driveway.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
So they don't have to deal with any of the
back end. It's like none of the devastation they have
to deal. It's like Buddy Putin. Putin has been foreign off.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Bombs in the Ukraine for the last two years. Does
anyone actually see the home?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Thank you so much for you col really do appreciate it.
Stacy Lesha with us on our one hundred the Hits
Kid Damage.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
What happened Lisha so.
Speaker 13 (22:58):
Many many years ago? My younger sister decided that she
no longer wanted to be deaf. She didn't like being
the only deaf person in the family. And this is
when hearing as are still quite expensive and you had
to make molds for your ear, and she decided bugres
took it out and slashed them. Doesn't swell it?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And what talking thousands of dollars there thousands? I can
see a solution. Did it cure the hearing loss issue? No, no,
they're crazy now hearing it. Have you seen them now
that they're kind of like can be Bluetooth as well.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
They cook it hook up to your phone and.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yeah, my dad always hoops up to the TV and
the phone and yeah.
Speaker 13 (23:40):
But back then not so advanced and very expensive.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, well, hey, thanks for you cool. Appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Apparently you could put them on mute too. Yeah, you
don't want to hear anyone talking. He doesn't mute them,
and he dream results.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
He turns down the like how many people around the room,
So you can turn down like background atmosphere and all sorts.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
But it looks like a badass in the club, like
tapping his ear.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Are your secret service or something like that would be
good to put like on narration mode.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Here comes me again. There would be some of the
stuff there.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Obviously, I'm not clear enough to think of coming up
with it on the spot.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Good old morning, Brittany. Hello, hell we had to kind
of foward Italian there for some part of it. Good
to have you on, Brittany. Most amount of kid damage.
Speaker 14 (24:27):
Well, I'm not so much a kid, but I did
this to my mum about three weeks ago. We had
a bit of a domino effect where I mistaken the
exagerator of my calf or the breaks of the accelerator,
and I drove my calf through the garage, which crashed
into the back of my mum's care which pushed my
mom's car forward into the fridge, completely destroyed that and
(24:48):
the fridge went into the wall.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh god, that's a that's a real trifector, you got,
I know.
Speaker 14 (24:56):
And I was in a complete shop for ages. And then
my mom was like, okay, could be repaired.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
And then you're like, you do have insurance day?
Speaker 15 (25:05):
And I did.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I thought there was a nervous last.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Appreciate you call Brittany.
Speaker 14 (25:13):
We can laugh about it one day, but not yet said.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
That quite early.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Sometimes you're like, well, not now, not now, anything like
that happens in our lives.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
We're like, oll, at least this makes a radio break.
That's the silver lining for us.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
The hits that John and Ben podcast producer.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Graces and with their new game we started last week
the music game. But you went to the Auckland f
C over the weekend, producer Grace.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
It was a great game, second one for the Aukland
f C, which is pretty cool. On the football league.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
She's there on fire, aren't.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
They just allowed goal by the other team towards right
at the end, and then it was pretty much the
last minute goal and extra time.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
I know nothing about football, so when they just allowed
the goal, I was like, what is happening? I didn't
know that was it was fun, it was so good. Yeah, yeah,
I didn't know. You're a football fan.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Now I am.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Now what you do here with this game?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
You stripped back music, like take the naked naked music
and take the clothes off, and we start with the
drum beat, and we've got to try and figure out
what the song is exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Now this might.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Sound like the most obvious stupid statement, but for me,
I am either going to get it or I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
If I don't have it in the first drum beat,
there's no chance for me to get the song, right.
Is that the same for you?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I have got I think I've got a single one.
To be honest, this as soon as.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
You'd start getting more of the song, it makes it easier.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We should do yeah, and we must.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
We must send a shout out to the bandle for
allowing us to plagiarize this idea.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I feel like everyone everyone's kind of sounds the same. Yeah,
it could be that song, got that song? But anyway,
here we go.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I got this first go nineteen three?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
How many YouTube views?

I we've had a few m C gigs lately, Ben,
and one one stick we do is Ben flashes up
some embarrassing images of me. Okay, now these uh, these
are degrading photos that sort of are sitting a special
folder on my phone and the images people should never see.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You've got them. So there was a bit of a
gag we're doing the other day. It was kind of
like there were people in the room were but there
was also people joining in over zoom around the country, right,
So we're like encouraging them to send in their watch
party photos. And then every now and again I would
just flash up a photo's have a look at the photos. Oh,
this one's great, and this one's great, this is and
you plumb, Oh, this one's great, and there'll be a
pun of John O and an embarrassing fun.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, and there's so many of them, Like it's you
provided all these fun So this is that.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
That's the first one.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
It's a western themed one where I've got a cowboy
head on and I'm naked and there's a gun holster
appropriately place.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Okay, that's one fair enough to way to not recognize
that that was a gun holster?
Speaker 1 (33:49):
What was the backstory behind that photo? You know, I
don't know. It's one of those things you got on
the Gold Coaster and you walk along they're like, want
to get a photo? Is a Western thing? You're like, oh,
I guess. You know. You put on hats and stuff
and you stand in a saloon and you look like
you did one of those.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Should we.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Seen you in that state of Andrews before? But every
time it gives me a wee fright.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
You're like, you're so white, You're so milky, pasty white,
And I am was that?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Was it a tourist trap that you got?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I honestly have no recollection of why that why that
photo shoot took the rest of the family are like, oh,
now we don't want to be at this.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
You're like, oh do it. I don't need a shirt
or pants.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
So that photo was one of many seekers so to
send them to the people to put up on this
the screen, the av screen. Now what's happened is the
photo's gone out of the circle of trust and entered
my friends in box who also works and I did
no work to the company, realized I just so you know,
I've got that photo of you, but sending.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It around the team.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Oh god, this now this doesn't need to get out
to firstly, a district court.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
We don't want we don't want sitting into court, do you.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
But there's one of those images that if you if
you saw it pop up on TikTok or and there's
no backstory to it.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
You don't know the orgers.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I don't even know the backstory.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
I know exactly, I can't even explain the backstory. Just
know that there probably is a backstory. I just can't
think of it just yet. Put it up on the
breakfast there now, all right, we'll put that up there.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
You can now see that on our Instagram, the.
Speaker 7 (35:23):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, we wanted to know this morning. What is the
thing that your parents always claim? What's their claim to fame?
Because my dad's still claiming this Victor Vito very good
All Black, great rugby player and now not playing for
the All Blacks. I think he's playing overseas at the moment.
I think my dad still keeps in touch with him
because my dad was a school principal and Victor Vito
came to his school at a very young age. And
(35:46):
Dad always likes to say that my dad's claim to
fame is that he made Victor Vito play rugby. He's like,
I every time the All Backs will play with them
one thing, it's like that it was all cause of me.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I got him when he came to your father.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
He still play and played rugby very young, but he
was very big at that age begun and he's like,
what sport do you play? And I can't remember what
he said, but he's like, well, now you play rugby
because we need you on the team, and yeah, talk
to me.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
In part.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
We probably do have to give a little bit of
credit to Victor Fedo as well.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Made him play it.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I keep saying, it's like, you make me play rugby
and I wouldn't be you know, but my dad's claimed
to famous and it's lovely. They still keep in touch
and you know, they still miss miss each other. It's
lovely and he's very grateful. But at the same time,
I'm like, it's it's pretty much ninety nine point nine
percent victory and maybe.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Zero point one. I've actually missed it. I deemed Victor
Veito on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I don't he doesn't follow me because I wanted him
to come on to verify your dad's wild claim. Yeah,
but I found out the case is still open whether
your father is as the reason Victor Edo was an
all black it wasn't a black.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah, well good good claim to fame though, like every
time he bought a rugby game, you could go.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Look, you know, I made him.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah I was responsible for that. You weren't really, but.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
It's has wayno got a claim to fame.
Speaker 8 (37:02):
And Nelson the Amigan, I'm sure he does I.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Can't what if you could think of it?
Speaker 8 (37:08):
Yeah, no, No, My mom loves the fact that she
once met Rol Harris and I was like that age.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
There's a photo of.
Speaker 8 (37:16):
The two of them together and I don't know where
Roll's hands are.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Well, that's not a great.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
She needs to stop pibling that one.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
And it's at the time that would have been probably
a good claim. He was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Jesus's hands got away on him, didn't they.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah, isn't that category of are they still living or
they did? Yeah, I'm not feel like he might no
longer be with us, But that's a great that's.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
A great claim to fame, your parents claim to fame.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Any She used to be a journalist and she was
a reporter for the paper, and so she would always
like she.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Was always oh, I partied with him.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
So like former MPs from years gone by, you know
when they had photos of people at Parliament it was
all in black and white.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, those are like.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
Rich oh Richard Prebble, Dicky Prebble before we party together
and he was so she was.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
A journalist and they party to get bad. Imagine back
then they would have been like no phones, no phones,
who won't be won't be printing this. There would be
some sort of arrangement, right.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
How many years ago did they party together?
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Yeah, for the reason my middle name is Richard, But
you know there was a there was a different time.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Rolf was probably out there getting away with some stuff.
Speaker 7 (38:29):
The hits that John and Ben podcast about.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Your parents claim to fame after my dad claims, well,
he's responsible for for more black Victor Fito playing rugby
for New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
I mean, he loosely for getting him into rugby.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I know, but I feel like he would have found
his way there regardless of whether my dad said it
or not.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
But the talent's kind of on exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, but good on giving it. It's a good claim
to fame. And they're still keep in contact.
Speaker 5 (38:57):
That's very swect.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Have you ever come.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Across with Victor Vigo actually officially met him? Like I
think it might have met him when he was very young,
but yeah, not since he's been all black victive.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Kind of sounds like your dad talks to Victim more
than he probably He's like, oh, the son I wish I.
Speaker 16 (39:11):
Had parents calls his dad and your your mom had
a photo was Rolf Harris.
Speaker 3 (39:22):
That's her claimed when she was very young, and you
said the photograph could get Rolf in a lot of trouble,
then she needs to get rid of the photo.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Did she put it up on the wall? Did you
put it?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It was?
Speaker 5 (39:32):
I've seen it and I went on her Facebook. I
think at one point too, she scanned the photo.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Oh yeah, I guess no one was.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
We didn't know what then, tell you what there are
there be a few Diddy photos with people betting deleted
from the photo stream at the moment. You're right, but
no one knows what's going on. Your parents claim to fame.
Now we've got Lucille on the show. Good morning to you.
Speaker 15 (40:00):
Amber.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Now, oh hi Amber, that's her. If you wanted to
change your name by depot.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
And but your dad claims he saw a superstar in Redland.
Speaker 17 (40:11):
Yeah, walking up walking track?
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Who was it?
Speaker 17 (40:17):

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Talk to her?
Speaker 16 (40:25):
Ah?
Speaker 17 (40:26):
No, he like doubled back and like you're out because
he thought she looked like she was a little bit
out of place, but kind of wasn't sure till later.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
So it's just your did just you dad, no one
else there.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
And the problem is with with parents, recollections and who
they think they might have seen or might not have seen.
Can never be one hundred percent certain. Has it been
verified Amber, No?
Speaker 17 (40:51):
Not.
Speaker 15 (40:52):
But she was in the country, so yeah, okay, okay,
so not Yeah, we'reabout some It wasn't on your proper
or was it a walking to what was it.
Speaker 17 (41:02):
Like a walking track? But she was she had like security,
a security person was there and another guy.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Okay potentially, I mean no, one can say you didn't see.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
No, and it wouldn't seem a very unusual thing for
him to claim, you know, like, so no photo, he
didn't take a sneaky photo or anything.
Speaker 17 (41:20):
I ate, No, it's train to map.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah, you're right, Well, thank you very much for sharing that.
It's good claim to fight here.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
It's a great claim to Fine, you're always got to
do the sneaky photo, don't you?
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Just so they know you did that? With Jack Blair
still behind, agree that.
Speaker 8 (41:34):
There's you're one of two people, the one that goes
up and punishes them.
Speaker 5 (41:38):
Is so you your dad goes up and like hello,
are you Katy Perry.
Speaker 8 (41:41):
Which is embarrassing, or yeah, they hide away and don't
do anything about it.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
I don't know which is worse out of the two options.
Now great text here for for Ay seven. My Dare's
claim to fame as he helped build the roller coaster
at Rainbow's in yet petrified to go on it.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Scared of roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Never been on the roller coaster. I loved it at
the other day.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
That's a good claim to building a roller coaster.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Another one here my appearance claimed to my dad's claim
to famous. He met four members of the royal family Willie,
Charles Camiller, Fergie.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Oh, that's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (42:11):

Second conversation though evens achieved a lot of masters from
the humble beginnings in Marsterden. Another great claim of fame here,
my dad always tells me that I was born on
the same day Freddy Mercury died.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Great claim to fame.
Speaker 7 (42:40):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Still a week of course, it is Halloween and just
two days time, the second largest commercial holiday in the USA.
They froth for it. But it feels like more and
more Keywies froth for it every year here in New
Zealand's the younger crowd loving it.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
I'm frothing for it.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Hopefully.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
I was thinking over the weekend, hopefully we've got those
myth lollies out of circulation now? Of those a few
months ago, hopefully did they find them?
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I think hopefully they got rid of them.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
As I was buying fruit bursts yesterday at the supermarket
for Halloween, I was thinking, oh, hope you are, They're
no longer a thing?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Well are? There's some stats I was looking at this
morning from America because obviously it's massive over there. One
in five adults pretend usually pretend not to be on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Like behind the door. It's a good play.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
It's been around since the before Christianity Halloween, but pre
Christian times, so they go a long long time.
Speaker 5 (43:31):
And your states, Have you got how much Americans spend
on Halloween?
Speaker 12 (43:34):
No?
Speaker 5 (43:35):
Do you want to guess? It's wild?
Speaker 2 (43:37):
One point two billion more billion.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Eleven point six billion.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Wow, So it's behind Christmas and the biggest second largest
commercial holiday eleven billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (43:48):
It's huge on costumes and aias.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
I'm glad it's starting to pick out some steam here
because for a few years we're just kind of check
on a mum's old sheets on over your head. Do
you kind of like little mini clan members when you
were cut out? But now the costumes are brilliant and
you're right, there's a lot of people out on the
street on Halloween night.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
Yeah, it's a big deal here in New Zealand's as well.
So I thought, you know, a couple of days before Halloween,
we had some wonderful costumes last week left over from Spotlight.
Every day I dressed up, and so I thought, why
don't get here listen a little bit earlier, and I'll
give you know, some some surprises to people. First, I've
targeted you, John, I thought I'll give you a fright
as you arrived to work, I had the scary clown
costume on. Ju said. Grace was here as well. She
(44:28):
was like, I'll help you because I was just going
to film it myself. She was like, i'll help you
film it. I was like, okay, cool. So we waited
and we both waited and we waited. Jesus waited.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
Sorry, I was really fine apull this morning?
Speaker 1 (44:38):
You know what else arrived? Mean you're already here, but
else arrived? Sorry, elier RYE Brendon, Who does the news
arrive sound? While I smoked back and forth from the
coast about four or five times. Yeah, I was waiting
and waiting, and then I was like, has he been
coming to work today? The brank was on him even
though I was being prend Yeah. So there as he
(44:59):

and tried to give him a huge fright. Not a
lot of audio from you, but I could definitely tell
you're quite a stunned. Halloween.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
I kind of peace that one to get.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
You forgot, No, that wasn't worth it. But you can
see that.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
In fifteen minutes to come up with a witty line
while he's waiting for me, and he just screwed at Halloween.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
