Speaker 1 (00:01):
With the John Oyan Ben Podcast. Cheers to Dilma making
the world a better tea.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's been a really fun week this week, and tomorrow
we play nothing but either nineties music or early two
thousands music, the nineties versus the naughties. That's what we're
looking at this week. So far, it seems to be,
according to what our polls have been running on nine,
that the nineties may take it out, but we'll find
out later out today, I.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Was thinking that, you know, it was like that election
where you know, labor and national a couple of elections ago.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
You're like, is there any point but the nineties obviously
live forever towards your formative years, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
That's what they say when you're you know, teenagers. No,
we're life not weighing you down.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Fond memories, yeah, favorable yeah, of course you're can have
favorable memories. You're right.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And we've been sort of informing producer Grace, who's twenty
three years old about some of the stuff we used
to do, reflecting on some of these things and also
going wow, that was weird, even for an hour reflecting
back on something.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
When you start to explain it, you're like, yeah, no,
it doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Actually, I'm going to talk about now I'm going to
bring in we've got one.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
Oh oh, okay, this Grace is very confused.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Because we explained things like three way calling and call waiting.
You say, well, have a look at this, Grace. This
is a wonderful piece of technology.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
John, have you seen one of these in real life before?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
A fax machine? Ah, what do you think that does?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
She said, I don't know what it is. It looks
like a mix between a printer and a phone.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, you pretty much have known it. Yeah, in a
lot of ways. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So what you do is if you wanted to send them,
just think of email and text messaging, but make it
one hundred and fifty eight more times excruciating.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
So you're like, oh, Grace, I want to see Grace
and message, and then I'd have to write out the message,
wouldn't I know?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
All you could print it out from you because you might.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Have a document. Well, Grace really needs this document. To
see this document, you could send it through on the facts.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, and then you'd put you'd put a piece of
paper in a slot here and you dial the effects
and over about a twenty minute period.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Grace and the facts going through it. They're trying to
accept it and take a while, they're trying to resend.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It, and they would then get it and they would
come through the effects machine on very flimsy paper, yeah,
and then they would get the message glossy sort of,
so that.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Thing would like scan it and then it would send
it to the other facts machine and then that would
print it out. That just seems like a lot of
ad But I don't know if this was the case
for everyone's house, But in my house, the phone would
ring and you pick it up and it would go
and you're like, oh, okay, it's a fact, so you
press start and put the phone down, and then it would.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
A wonderful impression of affects machine basically.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Like what either are robots calling me?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Or 'es? Basically the grand the great grand parent of
texting facts.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Hollywood still uses facts a lot, Yeah, because because it's
secure and if they're sending a script or sensitive contract information,
it can be hacked online obviously, and so pretty much a.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Lot of facts Hollywood's keeping it alive. So machine when
we got them talked that up. That's why we've got
that it doesn't even look that old. We want to
do an called the Facts of Life, where people would
facts and.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I think someone sent us the facts eventually through we
started like six o'clock one day, we'll like send us
the facts.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Maybe we should try and do it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And then it took talk about two and a half
hours for us to get a fact.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
The trouble is that you're relying on people to still
have fax machine.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
There's some people still out there.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It was, to be honest, it was a huge waste
of time and resource getting this fact machine hooked up.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Let's try and we'll try and look it up again.
Speaker 1 (03:45):

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Taylor, honey, it's.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Not your integrity with Christian.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Roped into the questioning my hard work. If you were
to see who I've had to with this week and
the amount of emails and they're on different time zones.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
But it's John O's face, cheeky grets exists with Ai.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
Made when we said this competition, I said.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
No, you guys have gone way.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
When we started this, we were like, Okay, the closer
you can get to a friend, because that like a
friend's character, because that feels.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Like the epitome of like the ninety correct.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
So I got David Arquette who was married to Monica
Courtney Cox.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
That was like one degree of separation from a friend.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
He's touched it. He's touched and I was like, okay,
well I'll shoot for the stars. And so this is
you know, this is Tailor Welcome to New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Two.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
This is what you're watching now is New Zealand tool
poppy chopping syndrome.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
This is just when you know someone the history of
like lying in the history of a love of AI.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
So it plays into this.
Speaker 2 (06:59):

whole morning.
Speaker 4 (07:03):

of all people. Apparently your message. I've got you a
message and Bens didn't come through it all this morning.
Big performance behind this, It's come through its gon. So
this wasn't on cameo Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So this was the backstory, was that we could only
get them through a charity angle. Now I need to
explain to you that Jennifer Anderson may believe that you
were wrongly imprisoned okay, well while pregnant, because that was
the only angle that we could get and the judge
you appealed your case and the judges that you are
all of it.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
So a.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just to give us a backstory, here we go.
Speaker 10 (07:45):
Hey Megan, it's Jennifer Aniston here. John O tells me
you are a huge fan of friends and you are
going to name your baby after me. Wow, what an
absolute honor. And yes I would be honored to be godmother.
Only kidding, but good luck with the birth. And I
am glad lad the judge finally saw sense and granted
you your appeal and you are going to be released
(08:08):
in time for the birth.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Lots of love. There you go, because definitely so not
that was how we could pull the hearts. Days you
got we couldn't three days.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
We were talking about this a week, not every day
you get like a request from a girl who's pregnant
in jails.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Wrongly, So do you believe that I haven't been played
been yet?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
We might not. Sometimes when they play a you can
hear like a little digital aspect to it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's be thinking that than this on the video because
you can put on social media.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
It's going up on my LinkedIn and everything. Probably the
biggest no.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Oh video have ten grand to pay for a video.
Speaker 4 (09:05):

to get to get to the bottom of which was
the best decade. Tomorrow we're going to pay nothing but
NonStop nineties or naughty songs.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, and we thought we're doing fun, just get some
celebrities from you to you to give us personal messages.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And it's turned sour because you're so obsessed with AI
you talk about it all the time, and we've got
one of the world's biggest stars has a busy schedule.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Was sent through a video a complex backstory about some
charity thing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Well, the things We've got Nicole, who's our entertainment reporter
in New York, she knows people. Put Taylor in touch
with pr people who's tied aering with the charity, and
they're like, well, she's not going to do anything if
it's not for charity. So the charity was Megan pregnant,
loves Jennifer Anderson blah blah blah, and might have been only.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Accused coming out of prison so I can have my
baby prison.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
Yeah, listen, Hey Megan, it's Jennifer Aniston here. John O
tells me you are a huge fan of friends and
you are going to name your baby after me. Wow,

(10:29):
granted you your appeal and you are going to be
released in time for the birth.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Lots of love.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Now, no part of me is questioning if there's Jennifer Nisonner.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
There's not a single percentage that I believe that is.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Lots of love out official intelligence.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Exactly so weary of getting duped, so you think they
would have done their research into your name and your
back story before they did.

Somebody someone is tixton team Began.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well, they're on the phone now, Emma, you're in a tirement,

Speaker 3 (11:06):
This is what's wrong with the world with your reputation, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
If it came from Megan, I believe that, but it
came to John produced Taylor.

Charity Angle. It was the same organization, Will Smith. She's

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Jayla, you guys, we're too big on this.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Will Smith may believe you're a ten year old boy
with a serious health complication. If he made these up?

you've seen this.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
No video.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
You can get video when you go like.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
A thing. But he didn't record it. Yeah, oh well,
in conveniently did that.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
It was easier to see telling me that Will Smith
can't read a script and make it sound more casual
than what he.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Just He isn't pre reader's. If you guys go to
be tonight thinking there was a then keep playing.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Producer Grace had been kind of through this whole nineties
and naughties campaign bringing you up to speed with there
wasn't planned to do so, but just there have been
moments We've mentioned things fax machines.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
I've been struggling.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Yeah, leaders, we feel it's our duty to do a
lot of explaining to you, in particular when it came
comes to photos. Nowadays, you're just you just fang up
a phone. You got your point fives, you got burst photos,
You've got thirty two photos of the same thing clogging
up your stream. Then it's on social media and seconds.
(14:45):
We had one shot pretty much back in the day.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And you didn't know if you'd got the shot.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
One you had one, you had it. You buy a
roll of film and you put it in the camera.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
You're like twenty two or twenty four or something.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It would be on there for yeah, take the photos
and then you would go getting developed, and then you'd
work out it take Sometimes they'd do it in an hour.
They develop usually would take a couple of days. And then
you get your photos, look at them and you go
eyes were shut.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Everyone has red eyes.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
You don't take more than once.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, you could, but that was using out a lot
of your films and you didn't know how they were
until you got them process.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You know the quality of the mind.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Is there any photo printing laboratories or not? Lambs, but
like those Kodac places around I mentioned.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
There'd be a couple.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Surely I found one of lovely photo my mom Annie
wrapping her arm around me. They took me over to
Sydney for a holiday. I remember it. And we're in
front of the opera house. Yeah, and she's wanting a
lovely family photo.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Fair enough.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
As a parent, I'm like, that's what I would want to.
You put yourself in your parents position in this photo
undred percent.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Let's capture a memory.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
And Mom's looking beautiful, and she's looking well dressed and stuff.
She's got her arm around me and I am eleven,
twelve years old. I'm sitting there just pulling the fingers
sneak as sneaking she can't see, and then the rare
percussions of that she wouldn't have known until four weeks
six weeks later.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I mean she paid for that film to be developed.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Just smiling and flipping the burd. I'm like, look at
this little twit. You know, I know it was a
big bugy for your mum. She was like, can I
just have one lovely photo of everyone stage around a
long fringe and used to cover a lot of my face.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Get off your face for the photo.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
That wasn't emo.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I just was definitely rocking a long fringe that you
sort of flick back and stuff and then the photo.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Just have it down. It's just with me.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Please just put off your eyes.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
That's all mums wanted. They just wanted a lovely photo.
Just just want no sticking your tongue out and.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
The camera please.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
So if it's any consolation, we feel your pain now.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Appearance the heads that johnaan Ben podcast on the side.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
The Best Decade, the nineties or the naughties and looking
Back had some nostalgic moments from our lives and your

be like, oh whoa are you? Okay?

think it ripped the paint off the walls, but like
to the point where my duchesses had Like so when
I was in bed at night, if I rolled over
to the side, I could see them on the side
of my duchess too.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
You okay.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
It was a great Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I mean it started where I had like Backstreet Boys
and other ones, but then I'd keep getting handsome posters,
so I'd rip the Backstreet Boys down and replace them.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah, And then you move out of the house and
you put parents in this handsOn museum.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Trying because it was boxes and boxes of posters. My
mom was like, do you want these bags.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And so when your friends come over and stay, I
always feel like someone's watching me and bulls.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
It was just basically a wall of people you either
a wanted to be or be you wanted to patch.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
That was the And I remember my dad.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
John would get very frustrated because you put it on
with blue tech and the blue tech would harden.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
And then when you're in a movie you would wrap
off the wallpager.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I mean initially it's soft and playball and then we've.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
We found a little hack me and my friends. You
could go to like United Video or something or Video Easy. Yeah,
and kind of.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Like you guys got any posters.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
And there's some snotty teenager from behind the counter would
come out with like you know.

a video shop.

like that, and the mirror songs as well a little
of the lyrics of the song because I can't google it.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Jeesu, we sound older.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Sometimes they had posted magazines. The whole magazines were just
posters of you know, hot boy beands with frosted tips.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Yeah, okay, so what what embarrassing posters did you have.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
On by the truth, the Truth, this idea? It was
just like smutty readers, wrestling posters, like why are you
buying this for the wrestling poster.
Speaker 4 (19:58):

This sorry lovely people, but Bop was was for a
lot of people. You know, let's get stiff on. We're

Embarrassingly it was newcads on the block.

out of the new kids? Or you'll say a name

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Jordan Jordan Jordan.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Wasn't Matt Woolburg's brother, and there Donny, Yeah, Donny Wilburg
I think was in it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I think there's always the rumors that Mark tried out
for it, he never made it, and then he made
it his own pop star.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
And the funky.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Good vibrations that was huge. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, when you
when you change the lyrics on step by step, who
can have sinister undertones? Can I'm going to get to
you girl?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Get away from his free?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Some great taps coming through on four four eight seven
as well Beverly Hills nine oh two one oh.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
That was.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
That was a great show. Yeah, Brandon and Dylan and
Who's Who's the guy who's a bit of a Brian
Austin Green? Who was he was?
Speaker 11 (24:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
What did he play?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
There was also Steve as well. They had a lot
of characters. Everything was so dramatic, so fleast the facts,
Doner he's a drug addict. Now he's shod weed once.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
We've lost Yeah, everything was really over the top at
the Peach Purp as well, but certainly had Undertonedenter the
Peach that was the local diner, exp the.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
hEDS that Jonathan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Trying to decide the best decade the nineties or the
noughties and someone that was on our screen, so both
of those decades. For many years on Shortland Street, she
played the part of Rachel mckinna, her real name Angela Bloomfield,
and she joins.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Us right now, good morning, good morning, really nice to
talk to you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
We were talking about iconic times through the nineties and
two thousands, and was it nineteen ninety three were you
started on Shorten Street?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Was that correct?
Speaker 9 (25:08):
I think so it's something like that. I started filming
in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Bat Yeah, yeah, I was watching.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Something last night and your first first scene, you said,
was you in a towel in front of Flight forty crew.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
I know, it's so strange, and it's usually your first
day of filming that you do these dramatic entrances. And
I knew no one, and I was young and I
had not been trained as an actor.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
It was like, well where am I?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
How old were you? And you're just like hanging out.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
I was nineteen, let's get this.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Girl in the town.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Well, now it was a different time, wasn't it a
short and street?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
You were on there for how many years?
Speaker 9 (25:49):
It was about sixteen years on screen and then I
kind of slipped behind the scenes into directing in that time,
and you know, over you know, my sort of twenty
five years there.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
So it was good.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Well your character too, I mean, Rachel McKenna went from
you know, like you were, yeah at school at the
start of her and then you went to university. They
ended up being an employee, they end up running the hospital.
I mean, a huge character arc over those years.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
I know, I think it's quite cool if I think
that that was the plan all along, and I think
that my dad ran the clinic and then it was
a hospital, and then she sort of became that person.
I think that's really cool, But I don't think it
was by design.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
I'm in sure.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The Street, I mean, it's always been huge, but back
then it felt like it was the biggest thing. New
Zealand had its own drama on weeknights. It was it
amazing to be part of.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
Yeah, absolutely, and you know, we have all these kind
of urbanists and legends about what it was like to
be on the show in those years. But I think
when you takeaway streamers and we didn't have as we
weren't making as much of our own content, it made
kind of sense that it was so important and that
it became so big and we'd never had like Tivy stars.
And there's these stories about Martin Henderson being chased down
(26:54):
the road and having to hide and shops and things
because he was like New Zealand's first heart throg, and
I think that so cute and so.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Because for you, like some instances like being said, it
was it was that was the peak of it. Then
were you able to go out shopping and not be
hassled or harass store.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
Oh yeah, I mean, I mean not that I have
that now, but that's just it was always I had
those kind of like had to do the eating the
store and had to do the sexture transmitted. You know,
there was just all those storylines. So I remember being
yelled at the car pack once like you've got an FTG.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I mean, you never want to be yelling and walking
through the awful not favorable. And so what was the
most memorable storyline in your career?
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Jeez, I always say it, and I think it probably
was definitely in the nineties. I think Rachel being struck
by lightning and falling in love with Nick Harrison has
got to be the best writing in the world.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
So sad for him, like someone had to be struck by.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
It's a wonderful guy now, Yeah, he's wonderful.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
Yeah, And I learnt so much about the fact that
you can be struck by lightning and survive.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
And also changed your outlook on who you're retreating to.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Rachel McKenna, Angela Boomfield, We're going to put you on
the spot here. Nineties or early two thousands, what is
the best a decade? Bearing in mind you went through
Shortened the Street Frighteners in the nineties. You were voted
I don't know if this is canceable now the nation's
best breasts in two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I don't know how that happened or what it was about,
but it's on your Wikipedia page.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
I think it was on my boot.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Were you stalked about da or were.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
You like, hey, hang, I was It was a bit
of a misdirect. I mean it was great. I just
had two babies and when I looked back at the
photo that they were using, I'm like, well, that's not
a recent photo A little bit.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah right.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
It was like up against other people that were amazing
and had great.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Boobs, and I one I was like, yeah, be hapy
to know I've taken out the nation's boobs this year.
Mabe okay. So taking all that into account, what was
the best decade for you?
Speaker 9 (29:05):
I mean I got married and had my children in
the Nordy.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Don't factor in personal stuff. Maybe you can do it
personal milestone, you can do whatever. O God Nations boobies
lovely to catch up with the Angel Bloomfield always always
fun and hey, thank you for being a.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Part of This's that johnaan Ben Podcasting.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
At the best decade, the nineties or the naughties, and
tomorrow we're going to pay nothing but songs from that
particular decade.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Looks like it might be the nineties, but we'll find
out later on today. Now, school lunches from back in
the day, such memories. You know, sometimes it's food that's
there every day of your life, then all of a
sudden it just disappears as soon as you leave school.
You know, the Chelsea buns and things from the touch
shops and the you know, the common stress of twenty
(29:59):
cents said, because twenty cents.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
You know, that was always a big bug beer for me,
because you can get an eighty cent sausage roll, but
you really wanted to extend it with the twenty sent
tomato sauce.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Trying to get money off your friends, driking a bike,
get a sip of someone's looks snow loops, looks snow loops. Yeah,
last thirty was always backwash to oh.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah, e run, lift a little bit of coke at
the end because it's bad.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
But the health rating, you know, health star ratings. They
weren't concerned to anyone at the tack shop, were they
Some great, great memories. We just mentioned juices.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Before the song. You can still get those boxes at
the supermarket. You can buy them frozen juices. Been still
gets them, but they still got the very sharp edges
that always cut the corner of my moush them out.
That's the thing. As soon as you start, Yeah, just
pushed that the ice bock out. You're fine, Yeah, you're right.
Your neighbors started.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Yeah, there was a Robinson Brothers company and Nelson and
then they sold it. But yeah, I next door neighbors.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Started juicy get a whole lot of Yeah, draw card
for the house.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, yeah, what's the one food that takes you back?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Lunch and sausage probably for me, Oh you had lunch
and sandwiches, well.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Sometime now not all the time, but I remember lunching
came in a big old dog rolling or you can
get a slice from the supermarket as well. You sometimes
put tomato sauce and lunch and sausage and breeding. You're like,
what is this lunch? I mean, you don't think, what.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Worried you can still get lunch.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
I was the one who had like fancy sandwiches, like
Mum would make me like beef and salad sandwiches with
like salt pepper, and all I wanted was someone's roll
up or like a peanut but a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
We'll talking about the cyst that you're doing. You're doing
the same your I know you're making them stuff from scratch.
So ungrateful.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Beef take this to kindergarten. All he wants is a
cheery sage. No fruit roll up to a classic. It's
still out in the game.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Do you rate them around your finger, like your finger
becomes the lollipop?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, featuring ture real bits of fruit as well.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
It does.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
It looked like surely they didn't have any fruit, but
they did. I guess they can't call them fruit roll
ups otherwise. Do you remember those cheese spaghetti square things.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I don't even know if they had a name for them,
but GE's like every day I was into those, and
then again I left school and I've never seen one
seat cheese.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
It's like a branch sort of thing. Yeah, like on
top and spaghetti and cheese on top pie but not
I don't even know if they had a name.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Probably still have them in bakeries. Run you don't eat
lunch to go to bakeries, so probably that's where you
can get them.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Hopefully, hopefully they're still out in the market. Very fond memories.
So this is what we'll do. We'll take it back
to your old school lunches. What have you got there?
Are there any triggering foods that you can't go back to?
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Definitely the heads that jonaan Ben podcast, you play.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Nothing but either the nineties or the naughties.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's up to you to decide. And we're reflecting on
those times now with school lunch chat.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, and Jesus, someone just mentions the product and you're like,
ah k bars like chewing on a car tire make them?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
They still they're still doing them.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Yeah, they're pretty hard to find though, is tech?
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Corn chips made the natural.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Sing the song? I feel like that song. Yes, corn
chips made the natural way.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Okay, I'm pretty sure that I wasn't Mexican who was
singing the song. Yeah, but they were. They were great, Carla,
What was it for you?
Speaker 9 (33:26):
Letters and sandwiches? Wash?
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Why was that a thing?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
The lettuce and that yasty spread? What a combo? So
I haven't seen letters combo with that?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And sometimes you put chips in with it too, like
chips and marmite and the sandwich that was good.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
That was back in the day.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
The sin of the cheese are called womble wombles.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
We've had a few countries that someone saying it's the
pizza pie. They were called mouse traps them depends what
region you came from to someone's ticks it as well.
You can't forget moosies.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
You can still find those.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, they're all round.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Zap.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Remember zep milk.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Sep milk milk was like Primo before and then you
blow up the carbol container and jump on it like
a bloody gun shot bringing out in the CBD.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Those were good times. He thank you, Catherine. Hello, how
are you? How are you the old school lunches? Yes?
Speaker 9 (34:24):
So, will you skip the fruit jelly squeeze?
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Fruit dilly squeezes? What would they look like?
Speaker 9 (34:30):
Chake like little triangles? And that's it was a certain
flavored fruit jelly.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
I actually started.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Buying them for my one year old.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
I found them at the supermarket recently.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Oh they're still in the game. Yep, they're still in
the game.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Oh yes, yeah, tea than terrible crackers.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
They were good. I used to like, but never enough.
Cheese are the crackers.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
The ratio was five flavored teese. Now for the kids.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Game lit snacks, they were good and then you have
to sort of finger the rest of the.
Speaker 10 (35:09):
Cracker theeese and there I think I got.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
To third base with a list. Now Grace is checked
down the s Tech corn chip song. Here we go.
Apologies that this is going to get us canceled.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Thes that Jona and Ben podcast quickly.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
L GP are not going to be happening in christ Church. Well,
it didn't really happen last year. It's not going to
not happen again thanks to the Dolphins. Thanks Dolphins. Now
it's gone. Where's it going now? I don't think.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I don't know if it's happening in New Zealand yet
or not, but I just that's they're pulling out of
christ Church because last year, if you remember, it wasn't
this year, it was like it was, Yeah, they went
to race and then obviously it's a place where dolphins.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Live and breeding dolphins in dangers.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, and so yeah, they probably shouldn't have put it
in a place where they couldn't. I couldn't race if
the dolphins were in the area. And I'm fortunately that's
it so like a great event that that no one saw.
But this, listen, I I'm going to be a monster
for saying this. This is fifteen thousand hect dolphins. How
many were in, how many were disrupting the racing.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Now it's gone.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Good viewing to morow over endangered dolphiins.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
You turn away, you can.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
There.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
No, I say a lot of stuff I don't mean.
But now what's happened thanks to these dolphins is stimulation
of the christ economy now gone. Next to a few dolphins,
ain't
With the John Oyan Ben Podcast. Cheers to Dilma making
the world a better tea.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's been a really fun week this week, and tomorrow
we play nothing but either nineties music or early two
thousands music, the nineties versus the naughties. That's what we're
looking at this week. So far, it seems to be,
according to what our polls have been running on nine,
that the nineties may take it out, but we'll find
out later out today, I.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Was thinking that, you know, it was like that election
where you know, labor and national a couple of elections ago.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
You're like, is there any point but the nineties obviously
live forever towards your formative years, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
That's what they say when you're you know, teenagers. No,
we're life not weighing you down.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Fond memories, yeah, favorable yeah, of course you're can have
favorable memories. You're right.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And we've been sort of informing producer Grace, who's twenty
three years old about some of the stuff we used
to do, reflecting on some of these things and also
going wow, that was weird, even for an hour reflecting
back on something.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
When you start to explain it, you're like, yeah, no,
it doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Actually, I'm going to talk about now I'm going to
bring in we've got one.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
Oh oh, okay, this Grace is very confused.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Because we explained things like three way calling and call waiting.
You say, well, have a look at this, Grace. This
is a wonderful piece of technology.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
John, have you seen one of these in real life before?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
A fax machine? Ah, what do you think that does?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
She said, I don't know what it is. It looks
like a mix between a printer and a phone.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, you pretty much have known it. Yeah, in a
lot of ways. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So what you do is if you wanted to send them,
just think of email and text messaging, but make it
one hundred and fifty eight more times excruciating.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
So you're like, oh, Grace, I want to see Grace
and message, and then I'd have to write out the message,
wouldn't I know?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
All you could print it out from you because you might.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Have a document. Well, Grace really needs this document. To
see this document, you could send it through on the facts.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, and then you'd put you'd put a piece of
paper in a slot here and you dial the effects
and over about a twenty minute period.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Grace and the facts going through it. They're trying to
accept it and take a while, they're trying to resend.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It, and they would then get it and they would
come through the effects machine on very flimsy paper, yeah,
and then they would get the message glossy sort of,
so that.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Thing would like scan it and then it would send
it to the other facts machine and then that would
print it out. That just seems like a lot of
ad But I don't know if this was the case
for everyone's house, But in my house, the phone would
ring and you pick it up and it would go
and you're like, oh, okay, it's a fact, so you
press start and put the phone down, and then it would.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
A wonderful impression of affects machine basically.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Like what either are robots calling me?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Or 'es? Basically the grand the great grand parent of
texting facts.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Hollywood still uses facts a lot, Yeah, because because it's
secure and if they're sending a script or sensitive contract information,
it can be hacked online obviously, and so pretty much a.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Lot of facts Hollywood's keeping it alive. So machine when
we got them talked that up. That's why we've got
that it doesn't even look that old. We want to
do an called the Facts of Life, where people would
facts and.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I think someone sent us the facts eventually through we
started like six o'clock one day, we'll like send us
the facts.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Maybe we should try and do it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And then it took talk about two and a half
hours for us to get a fact.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
The trouble is that you're relying on people to still
have fax machine.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
There's some people still out there.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It was, to be honest, it was a huge waste
of time and resource getting this fact machine hooked up.

Not your integrity with Christian.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Roped into the questioning my hard work. If you were
to see who I've had to with this week and
the amount of emails and they're on different time zones.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
But it's John O's face, cheeky grets exists with Ai.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
Made when we said this competition, I said.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
No, you guys have gone way.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
When we started this, we were like, Okay, the closer
you can get to a friend, because that like a
friend's character, because that feels.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Like the epitome of like the ninety correct.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
So I got David Arquette who was married to Monica
Courtney Cox.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
That was like one degree of separation from a friend.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
He's touched it. He's touched and I was like, okay,
well I'll shoot for the stars. And so this is
you know, this is Tailor Welcome to New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Two.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
This is what you're watching now is New Zealand tool
poppy chopping syndrome.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
This is just when you know someone the history of
like lying in the history of a love of AI.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
So it plays into this.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
So I got got to do it without smiling the
whole morning.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Sorry for smiling all the way through. It's like bring
of all people. Apparently your message. I've got you a
message and Bens didn't come through it all this morning.
Big performance behind this, It's come through its gon. So
this wasn't on cameo Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So this was the backstory, was that we could only
get them through a charity angle. Now I need to
explain to you that Jennifer Anderson may believe that you
were wrongly imprisoned okay, well while pregnant, because that was
the only angle that we could get and the judge
you appealed your case and the judges that you are
all of it.
Speaker 9 (07:41):
So a.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Just to give us a backstory, here we go.
Speaker 10 (07:45):
Hey Megan, it's Jennifer Aniston here. John O tells me
you are a huge fan of friends and you are
going to name your baby after me. Wow, what an
absolute honor. And yes I would be honored to be godmother.
Only kidding, but good luck with the birth. And I
am glad lad the judge finally saw sense and granted
you your appeal and you are going to be released
(08:08):
in time for the birth.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Lots of love. There you go, because definitely so not
that was how we could pull the hearts. Days you
got we couldn't three days.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
We were talking about this a week, not every day
you get like a request from a girl who's pregnant
in jails.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Wrongly, So do you believe that I haven't been played
been yet?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
We might not. Sometimes when they play a you can
hear like a little digital aspect to it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's be thinking that than this on the video because
you can put on social media.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
It's going up on my LinkedIn and everything. Probably the
biggest no.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Oh video have ten grand to pay for a video.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I thought the video was what we wanted.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Anyway, Next we'll play yours okay if you or not
chime maen.
Speaker 4 (09:13):

to get to get to the bottom of which was
the best decade. Tomorrow we're going to pay nothing but
NonStop nineties or naughty songs.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, and we thought we're doing fun, just get some
celebrities from you to you to give us personal messages.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And it's turned sour because you're so obsessed with AI
you talk about it all the time, and we've got
one of the world's biggest stars has a busy schedule.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Was sent through a video a complex backstory about some
charity thing.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Well, the things We've got Nicole, who's our entertainment reporter
in New York, she knows people. Put Taylor in touch
with pr people who's tied aering with the charity, and
they're like, well, she's not going to do anything if
it's not for charity. So the charity was Megan pregnant,
loves Jennifer Anderson blah blah blah, and might have been only.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Accused coming out of prison so I can have my
baby prison.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
Yeah, listen, Hey Megan, it's Jennifer Aniston here. John O
tells me you are a huge fan of friends and
you are going to name your baby after me. Wow,
what an absolute honor. And yes, I would be honored
to be godmother. Only kidding, but good luck with the birth.
And I am glad the judge finally saw sense and
(10:29):
granted you your appeal and you are going to be
released in time for the birth.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Lots of love.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Now, no part of me is questioning if there's Jennifer Nisonner.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
There's not a single percentage that I believe that is.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Lots of love out official intelligence.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Exactly so weary of getting duped, so you think they
would have done their research into your name and your
back story before they did.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Somebody someone is tixton team Began.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well, they're on the phone now, Emma, you're in a tirement,
are your team Vegan?
Speaker 9 (11:04):
I don't believe it for a minute.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
This is what's wrong with the world with your reputation, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
If it came from Megan, I believe that, but it
came to John produced Taylor.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Are you not team? What do we.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
All the way? Jaylor Taylors better somebody else?
Speaker 4 (11:25):

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Like Ray, would you hear people taking wonderful performance from
both of you.
Speaker 4 (11:38):

what do you want to hear?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
You take a breath?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Do you want to hear yours? Well? Yeah, now again
Charity Angle. It was the same organization, Will Smith. She's
in the middle of a bad voice like exactly, so
they called it.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
We could get him on press, Will Smith.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Jayla, you guys, we're too big on this.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Will Smith may believe you're a ten year old boy
with a serious health complication. If he made these up?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
What up?
Speaker 3 (12:16):

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Is your boy?
Speaker 11 (12:16):

Speaker 6 (12:34):
He's terrible at doing videos or that's just not Will Smith.

He wouldn't say anyway. You can believe what you want
to believe. What do you think legitimate.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Team Began or Team Jaylor?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Oh yeah, now Chris joining into this debate AI or
not Team Began or Team Jaylor.
Speaker 1 (13:04):

Speaker 4 (13:08):
No one in New Zealand is believing this because.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Also I thought we were getting video as well, and
you've seen this.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
No video.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
You can get video when you go like.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
A thing. But he didn't record it. Yeah, oh well,
in conveniently did that.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
It was easier to see telling me that Will Smith
can't read a script and make it sound more casual
than what he.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Just He isn't pre reader's. If you guys go to
be tonight thinking there was a then keep playing.
Speaker 5 (13:38):

and naughties campaign bringing you up to speed with there
wasn't planned to do so, but just there have been
moments We've mentioned things fax machines.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
I've been struggling.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Yeah, leaders, we feel it's our duty to do a
lot of explaining to you, in particular when it came
comes to photos. Nowadays, you're just you just fang up
a phone. You got your point fives, you got burst photos,
You've got thirty two photos of the same thing clogging
up your stream. Then it's on social media and seconds.
(14:45):
We had one shot pretty much back in the day.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And you didn't know if you'd got the shot.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
One you had one, you had it. You buy a
roll of film and you put it in the camera.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
You're like twenty two or twenty four or something.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It would be on there for yeah, take the photos
and then you would go getting developed, and then you'd
work out it take Sometimes they'd do it in an hour.
They develop usually would take a couple of days. And then
you get your photos, look at them and you go
eyes were shut.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Everyone has red eyes.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
You don't take more than once.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, you could, but that was using out a lot
of your films and you didn't know how they were
until you got them process.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You know the quality of the mind.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Is there any photo printing laboratories or not? Lambs, but
like those Kodac places around I mentioned.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
There'd be a couple.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Surely I found one of lovely photo my mom Annie
wrapping her arm around me. They took me over to
Sydney for a holiday. I remember it. And we're in
front of the opera house. Yeah, and she's wanting a
lovely family photo.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Fair enough.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
As a parent, I'm like, that's what I would want to.
You put yourself in your parents position in this photo
undred percent.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Let's capture a memory.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
And Mom's looking beautiful, and she's looking well dressed and stuff.
She's got her arm around me and I am eleven,
twelve years old. I'm sitting there just pulling the fingers
sneak as sneaking she can't see, and then the rare
percussions of that she wouldn't have known until four weeks
six weeks later.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
I mean she paid for that film to be developed.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Just smiling and flipping the burd. I'm like, look at
this little twit. You know, I know it was a
big bugy for your mum. She was like, can I
just have one lovely photo of everyone stage around a
long fringe and used to cover a lot of my face.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Get off your face for the photo.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
That wasn't emo.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I just was definitely rocking a long fringe that you
sort of flick back and stuff and then the photo.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Just have it down. It's just with me.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Please just put off your eyes.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
That's all mums wanted. They just wanted a lovely photo.
Just just want no sticking your tongue out and.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
The camera please.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
So if it's any consolation, we feel your pain now.

It was a great Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I mean it started where I had like Backstreet Boys
and other ones, but then I'd keep getting handsome posters,
so I'd rip the Backstreet Boys down and replace them.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah, And then you move out of the house and
you put parents in this handsOn museum.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Trying because it was boxes and boxes of posters. My
mom was like, do you want these bags.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
That was the And I remember my dad.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
John would get very frustrated because you put it on
with blue tech and the blue tech would harden.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
And then when you're in a movie you would wrap
off the wallpager.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I mean initially it's soft and playball and then we've.

for it, he never made it, and then he made
it his own pop star.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
And the funky.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Good vibrations that was huge. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, when you
when you change the lyrics on step by step, who
can have sinister undertones? Can I'm going to get to
you girl?

Get away from his free?

Speaker 4 (24:18):

Speaker 2 (24:19):
There was also Steve as well. They had a lot
of characters. Everything was so dramatic, so fleast the facts,
Doner he's a drug addict. Now he's shod weed once.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
We've lost Yeah, everything was really over the top at
the Peach Purp as well, but certainly had Undertonedenter the
Peach that was the local diner, exp the.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
hEDS that Jonathan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Trying to decide the best decade the nineties or the
noughties and someone that was on our screen, so both
of those decades. For many years on Shortland Street, she
played the part of Rachel mckinna, her real name Angela Bloomfield,
and she joins.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Us right now, good morning, good morning, really nice to
talk to you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
We were talking about iconic times through the nineties and
two thousands, and was it nineteen ninety three were you
started on Shorten Street?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Was that correct?
Speaker 9 (25:08):
I think so it's something like that. I started filming
in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Bat Yeah, yeah, I was watching.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Something last night and your first first scene, you said,
was you in a towel in front of Flight forty crew.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
I know, it's so strange, and it's usually your first
day of filming that you do these dramatic entrances. And
I knew no one, and I was young and I
had not been trained as an actor.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
It was like, well where am I?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
How old were you? And you're just like hanging out.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
I was nineteen, let's get this.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Girl in the town.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Well, now it was a different time, wasn't it a
short and street?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
You were on there for how many years?
Speaker 9 (25:49):
It was about sixteen years on screen and then I
kind of slipped behind the scenes into directing in that time,
and you know, over you know, my sort of twenty
five years there.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
So it was good.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Well your character too, I mean, Rachel McKenna went from
you know, like you were, yeah at school at the
start of her and then you went to university. They
ended up being an employee, they end up running the hospital.
I mean, a huge character arc over those years.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
I know, I think it's quite cool if I think
that that was the plan all along, and I think
that my dad ran the clinic and then it was
a hospital, and then she sort of became that person.
I think that's really cool, But I don't think it
was by design.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
I'm in sure.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
The Street, I mean, it's always been huge, but back
then it felt like it was the biggest thing. New
Zealand had its own drama on weeknights. It was it
amazing to be part of.
Speaker 9 (26:32):
Yeah, absolutely, and you know, we have all these kind
of urbanists and legends about what it was like to
be on the show in those years. But I think
when you takeaway streamers and we didn't have as we
weren't making as much of our own content, it made
kind of sense that it was so important and that
it became so big and we'd never had like Tivy stars.
And there's these stories about Martin Henderson being chased down
(26:54):
the road and having to hide and shops and things
because he was like New Zealand's first heart throg, and
I think that so cute and so.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Because for you, like some instances like being said, it
was it was that was the peak of it. Then
were you able to go out shopping and not be
hassled or harass store.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
Oh yeah, I mean, I mean not that I have
that now, but that's just it was always I had
those kind of like had to do the eating the
store and had to do the sexture transmitted. You know,
there was just all those storylines. So I remember being
yelled at the car pack once like you've got an FTG.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I mean, you never want to be yelling and walking
through the awful not favorable. And so what was the
most memorable storyline in your career?
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Jeez, I always say it, and I think it probably
was definitely in the nineties. I think Rachel being struck
by lightning and falling in love with Nick Harrison has
got to be the best writing in the world.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
So sad for him, like someone had to be struck by.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
It's a wonderful guy now, Yeah, he's wonderful.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
Yeah, And I learnt so much about the fact that
you can be struck by lightning and survive.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
And also changed your outlook on who you're retreating to.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Rachel McKenna, Angela Boomfield, We're going to put you on
the spot here. Nineties or early two thousands, what is
the best a decade? Bearing in mind you went through
Shortened the Street Frighteners in the nineties. You were voted
I don't know if this is canceable now the nation's
best breasts in two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I don't know how that happened or what it was about,
but it's on your Wikipedia page.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
I think it was on my boot.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Were you stalked about da or were.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
You like, hey, hang, I was It was a bit
of a misdirect. I mean it was great. I just
had two babies and when I looked back at the
photo that they were using, I'm like, well, that's not
a recent photo A little bit.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah right.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
It was like up against other people that were amazing
and had great.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Boobs, and I one I was like, yeah, be hapy
to know I've taken out the nation's boobs this year.
Mabe okay. So taking all that into account, what was
the best decade for you?
Speaker 9 (29:05):
I mean I got married and had my children in
the Nordy.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Don't factor in personal stuff. Maybe you can do it
personal milestone, you can do whatever. O God Nations boobies
lovely to catch up with the Angel Bloomfield always always
fun and hey, thank you for being a.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Part of This's that johnaan Ben Podcasting.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
At the best decade, the nineties or the naughties, and
tomorrow we're going to pay nothing but songs from that
particular decade.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Looks like it might be the nineties, but we'll find
out later on today. Now, school lunches from back in
the day, such memories. You know, sometimes it's food that's
there every day of your life, then all of a
sudden it just disappears as soon as you leave school.
You know, the Chelsea buns and things from the touch
shops and the you know, the common stress of twenty
(29:59):
cents said, because twenty cents.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
You know, that was always a big bug beer for me,
because you can get an eighty cent sausage roll, but
you really wanted to extend it with the twenty sent
tomato sauce.
Speaker 4 (30:09):
Trying to get money off your friends, driking a bike,
get a sip of someone's looks snow loops, looks snow loops. Yeah,
last thirty was always backwash to oh.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah, e run, lift a little bit of coke at
the end because it's bad.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
But the health rating, you know, health star ratings. They
weren't concerned to anyone at the tack shop, were they
Some great, great memories. We just mentioned juices.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Before the song. You can still get those boxes at
the supermarket. You can buy them frozen juices. Been still
gets them, but they still got the very sharp edges
that always cut the corner of my moush them out.
That's the thing. As soon as you start, Yeah, just
pushed that the ice bock out. You're fine, Yeah, you're right.
Your neighbors started.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Yeah, there was a Robinson Brothers company and Nelson and
then they sold it. But yeah, I next door neighbors.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Started juicy get a whole lot of Yeah, draw card
for the house.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, yeah, what's the one food that takes you back?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
Lunch and sausage probably for me, Oh you had lunch
and sandwiches, well.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Sometime now not all the time, but I remember lunching
came in a big old dog rolling or you can
get a slice from the supermarket as well. You sometimes
put tomato sauce and lunch and sausage and breeding. You're like,
what is this lunch? I mean, you don't think, what.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Worried you can still get lunch.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
I was the one who had like fancy sandwiches, like
Mum would make me like beef and salad sandwiches with
like salt pepper, and all I wanted was someone's roll
up or like a peanut but a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
We'll talking about the cyst that you're doing. You're doing
the same your I know you're making them stuff from scratch.
So ungrateful.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Beef take this to kindergarten. All he wants is a
cheery sage. No fruit roll up to a classic. It's
still out in the game.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Do you rate them around your finger, like your finger
becomes the lollipop?
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, featuring ture real bits of fruit as well.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
It does.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
It looked like surely they didn't have any fruit, but
they did. I guess they can't call them fruit roll
ups otherwise. Do you remember those cheese spaghetti square things.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I don't even know if they had a name for them,
but GE's like every day I was into those, and
then again I left school and I've never seen one
seat cheese.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
It's like a branch sort of thing. Yeah, like on
top and spaghetti and cheese on top pie but not
I don't even know if they had a name.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Probably still have them in bakeries. Run you don't eat
lunch to go to bakeries, so probably that's where you
can get them.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Hopefully, hopefully they're still out in the market. Very fond memories.
So this is what we'll do. We'll take it back
to your old school lunches. What have you got there?
Are there any triggering foods that you can't go back to?
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Definitely the heads that jonaan Ben podcast, you play.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Nothing but either the nineties or the naughties.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's up to you to decide. And we're reflecting on
those times now with school lunch chat.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, and Jesus, someone just mentions the product and you're like,
ah k bars like chewing on a car tire make them?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
They still they're still doing them.
Speaker 5 (33:04):

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Corn chips made the natural.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Sing the song? I feel like that song. Yes, corn
chips made the natural way.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Okay, I'm pretty sure that I wasn't Mexican who was
singing the song. Yeah, but they were. They were great, Carla,
What was it for you?
Speaker 9 (33:26):
Letters and sandwiches? Wash?
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Why was that a thing?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
The lettuce and that yasty spread? What a combo? So
I haven't seen letters combo with that?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And sometimes you put chips in with it too, like
chips and marmite and the sandwich that was good.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
That was back in the day.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
The sin of the cheese are called womble wombles.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
We've had a few countries that someone saying it's the
pizza pie. They were called mouse traps them depends what
region you came from to someone's ticks it as well.
You can't forget moosies.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
You can still find those.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, they're all round.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Zap.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Remember zep milk.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Sep milk milk was like Primo before and then you
blow up the carbol container and jump on it like
a bloody gun shot bringing out in the CBD.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
Those were good times. He thank you, Catherine. Hello, how
are you? How are you the old school lunches? Yes?
Speaker 9 (34:24):
So, will you skip the fruit jelly squeeze?
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Fruit dilly squeezes? What would they look like?
Speaker 9 (34:30):
Chake like little triangles? And that's it was a certain
flavored fruit jelly.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
I actually started.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Buying them for my one year old.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
I found them at the supermarket recently.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Oh they're still in the game. Yep, they're still in
the game.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Oh yes, yeah, tea than terrible crackers.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
They were good. I used to like, but never enough.
Cheese are the crackers.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
The ratio was five flavored teese. Now for the kids.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Game lit snacks, they were good and then you have
to sort of finger the rest of the.
Speaker 10 (35:09):
Cracker theeese and there I think I got.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
To third base with a list. Now Grace is checked
down the s Tech corn chip song. Here we go.

it didn't really happen last year. It's not going to
not happen again thanks to the Dolphins. Thanks Dolphins. Now
it's gone. Where's it going now? I don't think.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
I don't know if it's happening in New Zealand yet
or not, but I just that's they're pulling out of
christ Church because last year, if you remember, it wasn't
this year, it was like it was, Yeah, they went
to race and then obviously it's a place where dolphins.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Live and breeding dolphins in dangers.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, and so yeah, they probably shouldn't have put it
in a place where they couldn't. I couldn't race if
the dolphins were in the area. And I'm fortunately that's
it so like a great event that that no one saw.
But this, listen, I I'm going to be a monster
for saying this. This is fifteen thousand hect dolphins. How
many were in, how many were disrupting the racing.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Now it's gone.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Good viewing to morow over endangered dolphiins.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
You turn away, you can.
