Speaker 2 (00:07):
Gotta welcome to the podcast. So we've started off. I
never have you ever tour today going around the country
doing things for the first time, or helping you achieve
things doing your nervers that you've never done before in
your life. Megan, almost ate an oyster as you're here
in just a second?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Can you can you eat one?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Now?

Speaker 3 (00:22):
They're still they're still sitting here, but I want you
to chill it like five times.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
I think that's where people come and stuck with the
oyster games, and it feels like any food that you
have to get down quick is probably a red flag
about their particular food. Isn't it his mouth?

Speaker 5 (00:40):
He's going a few choose.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Does it get harder to swallow the more you chew?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
No, well, my dear, if you've got that thing about
you didn't like the taste of it or whatever, that's fine.
It does it gives you more of that taste in
your mouth and that flavor in your mouth. Like I
definitely need some some pequ or something is going to
be kissing you right now, Megan, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Not you can have that.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
When I spat out.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Listened to the show Emily trying oysters for the first time,
and she because we had the accompanied the cuisine with
lemon and she ended up just sucking on the lemon.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Afterwards, she didn't she didn't look like she enjoyed it
at all, shaking very shortly. On the podcast as well
as when you're like those who oyster oyster hard, you're
either in it or you're.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Out big fans or not at all.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
My wife slowly got it into it, slowly, but more
about the occasion thing and sharing something.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
It's also something I'm not keen to get into because
it's an expensive Yeah. Yeah, true, it's in the past time.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
We always talk about the you know, the first the
first person to try particular foods, you know, milking the cow,
what you you know, what you would explain if someone
walked in on that act, Even if you were the
first person to have an oyster, you'd probably go listen.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
I would if you had asked me, don't bother yourself.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
We'll move on from this desperate day. Now you're low like, well,
it's a delicacy?

Speaker 6 (02:05):
What was the thing?

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I ap for a laugh? But that's on the podcast today.
You're hear it very shortly as well as they had
a couple of blowouts, so we're both you. John and
myself had some blants with texts your things are going
to wrong, people wrong occasional.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
Jat.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I enjoyed that on the podcast The Hits that Jona
wan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
We're here in christ hitch On they never have you
ever toil. It started last night we arrived at wonderful hotel.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh my gosh, the Scenic Circle, Cotswold. Now before we
had even arrived at the hotel, we got an email
saying we need you to say that you had a
lovely night at the Scenic Cotswold Hotel.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Now this is before we've even stayed there.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
And I'm like, they're making these wild pains before we've
even stayed there. And then I didn't have a lovely
night at the hotel. I had the best goddamn night
of my entire existence.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Thattel felt like I was staying and like I keep
saying Hogsmead and Meghan's like, what what what's that?

Speaker 6 (03:04):
Harry Potter? You know it guys gets the wand and stuff.
It's very quaint in English.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Sony cottages.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, it's very actually, yeah, and talk with the British
accent do they's stayed enormous but king size bend fit
for a king.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I opened the sheets.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
Charles was lying there.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
He's coming to Australia this week, so maybe he popped over.
I had a couple of nights in Christitch, so thank
you very much for putting us up. We are on
our never have you Ever tour, which means all this
week we're going to make your nevers come true. Actually,
if there's anything we should be doing in christ Chitch,
we're here for the day for four eight seven. Things
that we've never done before, and the things that maybe
you've never done before, we're going to make some of
them happen.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Over the day before the tour even kicked off. Last night,
we're flying to christ Chitch and we made a little girls
dream come true.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I had never actually I don't. I never told you
that I'd never given out the lollies before we took it.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
We took a punt because we didn't know exactly if
it never handed out the lollies on a plane, but
couldn't really ask you because then you would be like, oh,
I know what they're going to do, so we just
kind of made it happen.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
And so this is about halfway through, three quarters of
the way through the Flighty message comes over the PA system.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
You have a very.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Special mollie runner up the front of the aircraft. It's
getting straight to head out the.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Lollies on an em We want to think of ourselves
as educators on the slight.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
So they take a lolly from her. And as you
come through the cann sorry I don't take strangers.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Just hear him in advance.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
It took my job very seriously, he does.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Why don't we know you didn't you did? There's audio
I'm going to play later.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
You're like you did about four rows and then you
stopped on about the back of the plane. And producer
Alie myself that no lawyers came anywhere near us.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
To stop halfway through Randwich between the trolleys there drinks
trolleys on it the sides. So I was like, oh,
I'm going to sit down.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
I don't we have to say lovely things about the
Scenic Circle hotel.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
And it was lovely, but the worst lolly giving out
if on a flight because no one, no one got
it from row like six onwards.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I know because I also like at the start, I
just handed out like heaps. I'll just take one.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
I was like, take handfuls.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
They're not why lolly's.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
I didn't get one, no one, no one around me
got one.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
We've all gone halfway through to you.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
I appreciate about those lollies?

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Is the woven basket, that basket that would have been
on a right brother's flight back in the day.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Yeah, it has been very consistent throughout the years, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Very iconic things?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
So we made Megan's dream come true of half heartedly
handing out lolli's on a plane.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I did get told off by a mum as well
for giving a kid too many.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Oh did you you said, just don't scramble.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
I thought about that too, Yeah, four four seven.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
If you've got something we should be doing in Christure
somewhere around the country throughout the week. And I never
have you ever tour thanks to gas picture service stations
and some discounts loyalty program to get fuel discounts every week.
But next Kate, one's like I noticed you keep banging
on about the Titanic movie from about twenty years ago.
But more revelations.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
About something we don't know.

Speaker 6 (06:05):
Something we don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
About the iconic door scene, and we thought we knew
everything about the door scene. We'll tell you next on
the Hats.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
The Hats that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Here, I now never have you ever tour. Throughout the week,
we're trying to make people's nivers come true.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, and then christ Church today, we've got some big
stuff planned after the show today, involving a helicopter.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yeah, but it's just flying at a helicopter. I was
trying to make it sound more amazing than flying a helicopter.
But it's going to be amazing if one person who's
never been in one.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I know, very exciting we get to surprise someone with
that today. Throughout the week we'll be doing more of
those things. So if there's anything you'd love to do
for for eight seven on the text or anything we
should be doing while we're in christ Hitch.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
That Titanic feels like a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
That movie it was, it was nineteen ninety seven.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
We love talking about it.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, I love talking about the iconic movie from James
Cameron as well Celine Dion's song Bursting Ounce. You know,
although I was really in the news today that they're
accusing her of lip syncing at the Paraslympics.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Yeah, She's like, she's there. If she was, she was.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
It was like, yeah, so if she lip synced, she
didn't bang up.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
That know.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
They've got YouTube analysts looking into it and they're like, oh,
I think she was lip singing, quietly singing.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
While you know, I was like, oh God, who really kiss?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
So they boats saying one hundred and eleven years ago.
The movie is from ninety ninety seven. Yeah, but what's
the latest? So Kate was this week?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's been so this why it's back in the news again.
Kate wins it's been asked about it. She's probably like, oh,
can I stop talking about this movie again?

Speaker 5 (07:36):
And other stuff?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Since Yeah, yeah, they always talk about was there enough
room for Leo and Kate on the door?

Speaker 6 (07:41):
Was at the end of the movie. It definitely was. Yeah,
I feel like there was.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
But anyway, so that final scene where they're shivering in
the water, which probably makes sense now, she admitted they're
in a water tank. They were filming in a water
tank over a couple of days. Right, they could stand up,
it was just knee deep pretty much could stand up.
It was waste waist high.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
It's acting. Would you want them actually drawn.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
In the ocean?

Speaker 6 (08:05):
So the whole thing, that's even cold they film?

Speaker 4 (08:07):
No, I don't think it was the whole thing. They
filmed for a couple of days.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
In fact, none of the audio they used they had
to read they did eighty hour later, which.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
Means they had to put their voice over the top
of all this. So again they like.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Anything real.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, But then James Cameron, who was the director, apparently
wouldn't allow the bathroom breaks. It was like, no, there's
no bathroom breaks. Once you're in there, you're in there.
And she had a lot of dresses, you know, like
the old timey clothes as well, so she was like,
what would Leo and her would do? Would they just
swim away from each other? I think we've got some
audio now of Kate wins That talking about it.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
I mean, it was so awful because Leo would sometime
sometimes said gotta be sort of swim away for three
meters one patch, swim in and then it would be
his turn. It was terrible, really, it was awful, and
you always felt awful doing it. But it was always
it took too long to get out in the wet

(09:03):
molds and oh god, so I confess it happened.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
It happened.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yeah, does she know how water works?

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Even if you swim away, Eventually they're swimming at each
other's diluted ws.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Then to answer the question was it warman? There lovely
and there we go.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
So we're back talking about Titanic again since nineteen ninety seven,
The movie That Won't Go Away.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
You see, we meet Jack Black and you're like, one
of my favorite movies is The Holiday with you and
Kate and it was like yeah, yeah, and you're like,
do another one.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
He's like, well, it's not up to me, man, it's
to keep Blanchet.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
I remember I have it. I was like, yeah, there's
been a lot of movies.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
The next ten minutes something We started last week Mega
and we tried to get ten out of ten on
the New Zealand Hero Daily Quiz with your help.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
We failed miserably.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Oh yeah, the best we could get was fine. Once
we get one wrong, it's all over. We've got JOHNO
helping us right now. Prepare to get three or four
at best. That's evidence of that hats the.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Hits that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I never have you ever tourk thanks to gas picture
service stations? But something we started last week and we
want to continue to see if we can get well,
continue until we get ten out of ten, which may
never happen on the New Zealand. Here all daily quiz.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Now, Meghan, you feel like you're in your quiz era.
You were just saying on the trip to christ Ues today.
So geez, I'm nailing this well.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Ben was quite surprised with how much general knowledge.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
I yeah, but like.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
That's the thing, like just random facts maybe that I've
stored away.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, we learned some stuff last week. We learnt that
snails have a lot of teeth, more.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Than sharks and crocodile.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
I feel like I knew that because you can zoom
a a and they look frightening. Yeah, I've seen that
move somewhere.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
So producer Ali is going to start reading out the questions.
If we get one wrong, that's it. It's all over.
We keep going until we get one wrong and can
people call it and out, Well, we go to the
text machine where we can go once to the text
machine once okay, and you could call on if you
really want to. But four four eight seven on the text.
If you think we're idiots and you think you've got
the answer.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
All right.

Speaker 8 (11:06):
Question number one, who was the CEO of Apple when
the first iPhone was launched? Was it Steve Jobs, Bill
Gates or Tim Cook?

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Jobs?

Speaker 6 (11:16):
So Cook and Jobs are both Apple?

Speaker 4 (11:18):

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Cooks knew like he took on.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Jobs, Splex, Givy Balance Runners, Blue Jeans.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
Alie's a terrible poker face producer.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
La tell you so if you just keep saying someone's
name over and again, you look for reaction.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
That is correct.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
First one stroke?

Speaker 8 (11:39):
Okay, this one's a bit of a bit of a
hard one. I think which Thom might be Tom? Which
Thom York album was released?

Speaker 3 (12:28):
What was the metal option?

Speaker 8 (12:29):
Alley Tomorrow's Modern boxes.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's eraser was that it was an album from someone else?
Maybe maybe it wasn't.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Okay, what we're looking in here?

Speaker 4 (12:39):
What are we looking at for Thom York's debut solo album.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
I think it's either Tomorrow's Modern Boxes or the erasing?

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Okay, Tomorrow?

Speaker 6 (12:49):
Is it spelled Tomorrow's Boxes or just.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Tomorrow was tools album? Or Anima spelled A N I.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
M A.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
No. No. So now we're back to all the three
Can we go to the text on this?

Speaker 7 (13:05):

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Question two questions?

Speaker 6 (13:07):
If we can't get the texts again? Four f shiven,

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Yeah? Lehould we do that?

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Okay? Okay?

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Well do you know what do you want to do?
You want to go with something?

Speaker 3 (13:21):
No? Okay?

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Four four eight seven? If anyone knows Tom York or
Tom York as he likes to record.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Just a solo album, what was it called?

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (13:29):
Four seven? If you think you know those three options again,
produce Allie, it.

Speaker 8 (13:33):
Is Anama, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes or the eraser?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
We could be on question two on the New Zealand
Hero tomorrow's Modern Boxers for some ree okay, okay four
four eight seven are we going to lock that? And
we'll find out next New Zealand it's sex twenty seven on.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's the He's the Jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Team New Zealand's up for three nil so far and
trying to defend the America's Cup. But Barcelona a lot
of people are not happy about them being there, big protest.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's why we even heard like much about today because
he was like, nope, you took it away from here.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
What's what's up setting in the Barthalonians.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Well, basically that the fact that they spend one hundred
and twenty five million two Team New Zealand on bringing
the America's Cup here. But they're like, there's a lot
of money we could to be spinning on other stuff,
and I guess they're kind of weighing up whether it's
bringing in the tourist dollars and stuff as well. So
a thousands people took to the streets over the weekend
to protest it. Well, what's going on? I guess you
know you're right if you're driving over of potholes and stuff,

(14:28):
you're probably like you.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
Just watching these boats.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
But we couldn't afford it anymore, could we. That's right,
so hopefully we do take it out though. Three now ups,
so looks pretty good.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
It's even right, Yeah, I feel like the expense of
it is related to the technology of the boats. Now,
let's just take it back to the basics, back to digging,
kick it back to the start line again.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
They were in the middle of Today's New Zealand here
all daily quiz. We decided last week we would wanted
to get ten out of ten and would keep playing
it in a row until we got one wrong. At
best we got was five. So now we're at question two.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
What happens if you get ten out of ten? I
get a free Herald premium subscription. You unlock all the
premium articles.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
You actually do that.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
I told you you've got emails one email and you
can get that, but anyway.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Email them for the same company. Anyway, get the first
three lines of stories and a sort of fades out.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
And today we don't want to hear you complain say
we know how you can remember you that. But anyway,
question too, producer, was about Thom York.

Speaker 6 (15:24):
It was about Thomy. I just learned as Tom York
and stuff.

Speaker 8 (15:29):
But the question was which Tom York album was released
in two thousand and six as his first solo project.
And you want to lock in the eraser?

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Well, the thanks of the text machine question to me,
and you weren't happy that we're bowing to the audience question.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Too, Yeah, like phone or free and already.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
But the eraser seems to be the popular one.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Are we locking it?

Speaker 6 (15:47):
That is correct?

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Thank you very much to run the text eraser.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
By the way, you see the.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Other names as well too. She's one of these people
who comes in after the.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Other ones. Anyway, anyway, thankfully.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
This medium we recorded because we'll go back after the show.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
Okay, next question question three?

Speaker 8 (16:05):
All right, Woe Mad Festival in New Zealand is held
in which region? Is it Otago, Canterbury or Tank?

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I actually don't know some haapy to go.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Minutes you'll say, just say now, Meghan, that's correct, right, okay? Good?
Question three?

Speaker 6 (16:28):
All right?

Speaker 4 (16:28):
What this question for?

Speaker 8 (16:29):
What does the brand name Nivia mean in Latin? Is
it snow white, smooth skin or fresh and clean?

Speaker 6 (16:36):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (16:40):
I think Latin?

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Why would they have fresh and clean and letton so
fresh and so clean? Clean? If you're playing out the
elimination game.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Okay, okay, hey, we need we need to get rid
of one. What one did you say, Meghan?

Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't think it would be snow white, no.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Option, I mean the cream.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
The original cream is like snow white, you know, the
original night and cream in a pot.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I think I'm saying to look, I'm trying to think
more about snow white, actually, because Proul's.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Face cream was that the original and it was like, yeah.

Speaker 8 (17:13):
It's just some white number two smooth skin.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
I reckon, Yeah, not smooth skin, snow white.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I'm thinking snow white only because Ali is a terrible
poker face going to lock and so what I'm going
to make, make the call and might be wrong?

Speaker 6 (17:29):
All right, that is correct? Yeah, all right?

Speaker 2 (17:33):
So what I got four? This is this is the
fifth one. Now this equals our best if we get this.

Speaker 8 (17:37):
Right short as Okay, watch Shakespeare play features the character
of Shylock. Is that the Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar
or Twelfth Night?

Speaker 2 (17:47):
You know these people right now screaming at their radios?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Can we throw to the text again?

Speaker 4 (23:37):
All right, nightmare, terrible terrible stuff, all right. Friday, So
it's the end of the school holidays, Friday. Every activity
has been done in the world of activities when it
comes to keeping the children entertained, Okay, I'm need to
get them out of the door for an appointment right
already five minutes late behind schedule, and it's the kind

(24:00):
of appointment that you can't miss, and if you do miss,
you're gonna have to rebook.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
And it's in another two three months.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
So all right, kids, let's go of planning them all morning.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
Let's go.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Time to get and I open Oscar's bedroom door and
they've decided this is a fantastic time to redecorate the
whole room, rearrange the entire like the beard was literally
up on its headboard, up facing the sea, the shelfs face.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Down, books were like everything.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
You know when kids decide to interior decorate, boom, everything
has to come out first, work, yeah, and then nothing's
systematic about approach, right, oh god, really, now this has
to be we're walking out the door the most terrible timing.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Because you've got teenagers. I would have thought that gets
better as they get older, because I've got like a
two year old and a three year old, and I
can't get them out of the door. Because one of
them poos their pants or like one of them is
having a mountdown. But now you've just got different issues
when they're older.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
I'm the one. But no, you do it because, like
I said, it was the end of a long two
weeks and everything had been done.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
So they're like, time for happened.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Right right now, right now.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I know there's the frustration of the parents, and you're like, oh, guys, guys,
you know, and they can't see the greater picture.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
No can't. They They're just doing And that's the great
thing about kids too. They living in the moment.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, you're doing the moment, and sometimes it's better to
live like that, you're right, And other times when you've
got to get to appointment, it's not.

Speaker 6 (25:26):
It's the worst possible time.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
It was for me. I had nothing to do with it,
Like they didn't need to stress about.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
It, right Yeah, And then they tell you you're not
supposed to hurry your kids because it might make them anxious.
So you're not like, come on, come on, you're gonna
be like your own time to make kids anxious.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
Now that's what we had kids, Okay, soe hundred the
heads is what we want to check open this morning
on a Monday on New Zealand's Breakfast. What happened when
you're walking out the door?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Sometimes happened from time to time with me and I've
talked about this, you know, getting up early in the
morning and one of the animals has sort of left
something and sometimes like a little bit of like you
or something on.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
The floor on the floor of the hallway. Sometimes I
clean it up. Othertimes I could.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Walk around like that's a seven am a shoe And
my family don't know.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
When this has happened, you know, they don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
They just fell I've left and they're like, oh, did
you know the dog it was sick on the Yeah, exactly.
That's a good that's a good situation. Time just walk
around it. That's my motto in the morning. So on
hundred that hat's four four eight seven when I this morning,
what happened or when you.

shoulder tapped by the flight attendant. But way sure.

Like a promotion.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
It was scary because she she said can you come
up to the front with me? Really serious, to the
point where a woman sitting beside me on the plane
was like are you okay? And I was like I'm
not sure. So she made me go up to the
front and then she said to me there's someone at
the front who wants to meet you. She's a big fan.

(27:39):
I was like lies. As I walked past John, I
was like, have you stitched me up? And John I
was like no, I don't know what you're talking about

So they take a lolly from her and there she
comes through to Kennon. Sorry, I don't take lolly for strangers.

the plane while you were doing it. So yeah, you
handed out.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
It was your dream.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
You handed out the lollies, but then you did a
few rows. I was sitting near the back and then
you just sat down.

Speaker 6 (28:39):

Going to be visible for the first time in eighty
thousand years of this week, New Zealander is about to
see it in the Western skies from Tuesday this week.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
How did they describe it? Because I was thinking it
would be like a big ball of flames in the sky.
It's just a little funny.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Yeah, they said, a fuzzy patch in the sky. That's
the comet.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
I mean, I hate to sound underwhelmed by it, but okay,
well it's.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Probably like millions of light years away and stuff like that, right,
but still, first time in eighty thousand years that's going
to be here.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Sorry, Meghan. Is this something that we could do to
make the comet experience more enjoyable?

Speaker 3 (30:54):
A flaming ball of gats rather than a fuzzy patch
the comet.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah, I do it a bit closer to earth.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Just talking about what was happening when you were walking
out the door had hits four four eight seven, just
off the back of we're heading out for an amployment,
late for an appointment, walking to the kids bedrooms, could
completely redecorating beds upside down, book shelves upside down, shoot
everything out of the closet, just in a giant mound
in the middle of the floor, right, And who had
to deal with?

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Who ended up helping redecorate?

Speaker 6 (31:23):
Did you get involved?

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Yeah, well it had to otherwise it's just gonna sit
there for the entire school too. So we had the
telephone number. We've had a great text here four four
eight seven. I was getting ready for work, drop the
kids off a daycare school. Opened the back door. A
cow a standing there in suburbia. Oh really, a suburban cow.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
You don't say that's off and urban cows?

Speaker 1 (31:45):

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I do love an animal out of its natural environment.
Though there was the goats. There's an effing goats.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, yeah, I had a goose on my doorstep, but
baby goose Goslin Yeah, it was just very unusual and
how it got over the fence and stuff. But anyway,
that was out with the same thing when I went
to leave and like, this is unusual.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
What do you do with that?

Speaker 5 (32:04):
That's all we said.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
No.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I did pick it up, but it was around COVID
times as well. No one wanted to take the thing.
I kept say where do I put it? What do
I do or what? And they were like the bird
section people were like, oh, it's COVID and we're shutting
for the day.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
I'm like okay.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I ended up they ended up taking it and stuff
as well because there was no mothers around for ages.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
So yeah, they didn't want to take.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
This could be the goose that laid the gold n eggs. Guys,
it's gonna be that, but they didn't want it.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
We're going to go to the phone.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Is that harmony?

Speaker 5 (32:33):
I'm knowing hundred the heads? How are you this morning?

Speaker 4 (32:36):
Hi?

Speaker 10 (32:37):
Good?

Speaker 5 (32:37):
Thanks lovely to have you on, great name harmony. What
happened when you're walking out the door?

Speaker 4 (32:42):
Oh, this was a few years ago.

Speaker 10 (32:43):
I was walking out. I was getting ready for work
and there's been a power cat so getting ready in
the dark and then I get in my car and
I look down the end of the driveway and there's
all these lights flashing and trucks at the end of
the drive and I think, what the hell's going on?
And I started driving down the driveway and a tree
was across my driveway, and power poles across the road,
and lines are across the road, and we had about

(33:05):
a thirteen hour power.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
Cut, and all the emergency services at the end of
the driveway.

Speaker 10 (33:10):
Yeah, we're already there.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Wow, that just sounds like a great excuse to call
work and be like, I can't come in today.

Speaker 10 (33:17):
I didn't even have a coffee because we had a
power cut and it was freezing. It was yucky weather.
I lived opposite a vineyard at the time, so I
climbed over and under power lines, and I did manage
to get a hot coffee.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
So that was Jesus, climbing between power lines to get
a coffee.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
You're either going to get a whine or something for
the video for a wine in the morning.

Speaker 10 (33:41):
You may have had wine for breakfast.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Appreciate that army. I remember I was walking out of
the old house we lived and I walked out the
door and then there was this gentleman in a suit
with a briefcase, and he started talking to me on
the other side of the fence.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
And I owned an old car at the time.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
He's like, that's a lovely old vehicle.

Speaker 5 (33:57):
Mate lured me. I think I just thought it was
na believe it yet.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Then all of a sudden, halfway through the conversation, he's like,
have you thought about joining the Jehovah's Witness? And I'm
like no, and I see, but now it's not a
good fight. I'm sorry, madam.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
The kids are in there.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
My wife's not home. And he looked up and behind me,
Jin was standing on the deck. He's like, you mean
that one'ssage did say that's why I would not make
a good job lying eating.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
The heads that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
First day back after two weeks at the school holidays,
so good luck. We spoke to her someone before I
were already trying to get their teenager up and Adam,
hard job to do.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
She's Monday, that's the first day back. You've had two
weeks of rest. If you're struggling to pull the teenagers.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Out of bed this morning, though, they is the hardest.

Speaker 6 (34:47):
He used to sleep.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Yeah, that's right, and you probably stayed up late because
you weren't used to getting to.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Sleep home stretched. Now last term thought there with my
son and I was like to get the years get
quicker the old you get, and he had done some
internet research, so I don't know how reliable it is
that there's been some studies into it. And that's basically
the older you get. So you start out one years
old and that feels like the longest part of your

(35:14):
life because that's all you've experienced.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
The older you get, the more you experience, the quicker
the year has become.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
That supposed to make sense. That's the theory present suppressing
as well. Monday morning, that's what we want anyway, coming
with good vines on Monday.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Now.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Friends of ours are organizing a surprise party for a
mate and I don't know.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
I'm not a surprise party person.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
That nothing would annoy me more than having a surprise
party organized for me. Really, I get the idea behind it,
but then I'd just be turning up going well, I'm
not I'm not dressed for this occasion.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
I haven't had time to prepare. I don't know who's he'd.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
Be upset because he's be like, this was a party
for me.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
It needs to be costume.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
People need to be in costumes.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
No one's in costume. What is the thing? What is
the thing? I'd like to know these things.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
I like to plan, and I like the I'm waiting
for something, you know, when you notice the anticipation rather
than it just.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
Being sprung on your.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
No.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
But I've eaten part of a surprise party, some of
it well, and others I'll be like, oh, this poor
person just feels rattled for the whole time.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
You need a nap because you know you're going to
party later.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
You came home, they were grocery shopping and some like that.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
They were in the middle of stuff and they're like, oh,
there's a whole lot of people now.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
But anyway, friends, sometimes they don't know it's coming well,
all the time, they do know it's coming out, and
so then you can be left waiting for hours.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
Waiting for them to turn up.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
So, anyway, friends of ours organizing surprise party, I'm like, cool,
I'll go, I'll go along with it. I'm actually really
good at keeping secrets.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
I don't say anything.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I'm like, I'm not going to say so I'm like cool,
we'll go along with this, but there's a maiden. But
there's always that one friend. You're like, if anyone's going
to say something, it's that one friend. It's the loose
lip friend.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
And I was.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Actually hanging out with him over the weekend and he
was like, going, I'm actually going to be hanging out
later that day with the person who's surprise party it's

He's like, no, i'm not. I'm not like you to
say something.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
And he's like, no, I'll try my best not to
because normally you just talk and say things.

Speaker 6 (37:05):
So I was like cool.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
And later on that night I was thinking about it and
I was like, oh, they're together, the two of them.
I wonder if he said anything, So I'll send him
a cheeky reminder text, just going, hey, mate, better not
say anything about the surprise party for the person's name.
And then I get this text back going thanks for that,
and I was like, oh, that's good.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
I didn't read the he's like, and then I was
like thanks for that.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
And then I got those dot dot dot text coming
through and you're like, oh, there's more to this anxiety.
He's like, thanks to that dot Dot Dot, And then
I was like, what's he going to say? He's like,
as you text through, I was showing him something on
my phone, a picture of a meme or something, and
your text comes up with a don't forget not say
anything about the surprise party too mentioned the name as well.

(37:51):
He's like, he definitely saw it, and the guy said
he different, I didn't see anything, but you know, we're
one of those situations where you're like.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
If he keeps up the surprise, he can now prepare
for the events. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
Maybe you're right.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Yeah, he doesn't know what days he's ready for a
party between now and Christmas.

Now we on they never have you ever tour kicks
off today, traps our ages. We have done some novelty
tours of this country. I'll tell you what, over the
years see more of this country than a campaigning politician.
But this time around, they never have you ever tour
so knocking stuff off that you have never done, and
we're going to be doing that in christ Church today,
involving a very expensive piece of equipment that goes in

(38:57):
the air after the show. But Megan, you were worried
that you're going to be away from your beloved children
for five days.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Yeah, well I've never been away from my kids for
five days. When I started with you guys, I hadn't
even had a night away from my daughter. So I
was wondering how I could just make it a little
easier for you.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
I ask your question though, when you hit it away?

Speaker 2 (39:16):
How many laptops did you take when I when you
hit it away this week?

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Just one?

Speaker 4 (39:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (39:22):
And John A you I just got one. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Producier Ellie, who's on the tour for first time as well,
how many laptops do you have?

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Were you four just.

Speaker 5 (39:31):
Getting scanned my security like a cyber criminal all.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
The work ones. I'm like, what are you need so
many of them? You know, laptop can do multiple things.
Four laptops to do four and work.

Speaker 6 (39:45):
This is like a beautiful you're right the first of one.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
You're like, we'll just use the.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
Same one for both.

Speaker 9 (39:49):
Actually she's got sorry, so you've got one laptop going okay,
that's what I want to say.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
So, given that I was gonna be away from my kids,
he quite young, one is almost turned one, s three,
So I was like, how can I make this seem
like more fun to them and least like they'd mess me?
So I put on a couple of charts on the fridge.
So there is one there's like a cartoon map of
New Zealand and I've done like a little line of
where we're traveling, and he can move the little pen
every day and it's like where is Mum today. The

(40:23):
other one is you know when you go to the
supermarket and it's like do you need a babysitter? And
you pull off the tags. Oh yes, So I've done
how many days till I return? And each day he
can pull off a tag so he can like visually
see there's only like one more tag lift because I
always I count, you know me, I count down everything,
how many sleeps, how many weeks till daylight? Saving hirt?

Speaker 5 (40:45):
Like we're radio hosts.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
We like to think that people are going to miss
us a lot more the reality of people missing you.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
So yesterday I was like, oh, wait till the last
minute to tell him. And I told him and he
was like, Okay, can I go get a puzzle? I
was like yeah, but you know I'm going. And then
when I left, he was see yea and ran away.
And then I text my husband. I was like, has
its son ken? When he went to bed? Did he
miss me?

Speaker 4 (41:05):
He was like no, no, And the fridge is important
real estate in the household that'll be covered over by
a congratulations you remember to wash your day here.

Speaker 6 (41:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
I really oversold the fact that he was going to
miss me. That doesn't seem to have caused any issues whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
He should have gone more like Ed Vince Callendary, you know,
like open it up and get a little trees or something.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
I don't know, like with my arts and crafts here, like.

Speaker 4 (41:30):

road was in Washington and said, oh, that's a present.

Speaker 4 (42:47):
There's Obama.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
There were so many like if you are black jeeps
and stuff hitting down, you know, and stuff. But then
an ambulance traveled behind, and that was what they were saying.
That gives it away that that's the president because there
was an ambulance traveling around as well, So just in
case he needs an ambulance or anything at any stage.

You don't have to tell us what your name is
or even your child's name, but you can just share
how happy you are, but in a somber tide, which
is the opposite of all Ben wants. Let it be
you would rather a more upbeat celebratory. This part of
the program really has loaded the tone.
