It's almost like like like a blanket, like you can
snuggle if it's like it's always there right there, you're
feeling lonely.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
There's always some random Olympic event that's on.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, I was thinking that last night. I heard the
TV on. I was watching hammer throw. I can't remember
the last time I watched hammer throw. And then I
was like, maybe there are more events after the Olympics.
Maybe we need to get more into just like random
trek and field stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, I mean, have you ever seen videos of like China,
Like children in China, like they are just doing way cooler,
way more advanced stuff than we ever did as a kid.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
I do you do you see the propaganda coming out
and you're like, they are far more advanced than we
will ever be and nuts.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, do you have the theory about TikTok? Have you
heard that?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Not tak talk talk talk talk talk, tik talk, all
of TikTok.

Sorry, it's that, it's that damn sexy act talk.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
Yeah, I'll tell me about talk talk.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
If you're in China, it's not called tuk talk, it's
called something. It's called something else over there. But all
they feed the kids over there videos of children doing
inspirational things, succeeding in education, succeeding in sports and all whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
And then over in the Western World. They've designed our.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Algorithm just to be us bumbling fools dancing to fifteen
thrusting our pels to fifteen sing songs.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
There, that's a WIGGI.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
Fit before we move on for the Olympics. A stat
I'll thri it.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, I read today an American that's you, Nicole, more
likely to be struck by lightning than an Olympic medal
in their lifetime.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I mean that sounds about right. I mean that sounds
about right.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Were you a sporty person?

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yes, I actually dove, which I love watching the Olympic
diver and I played lacrosse.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
You guys have lacrosse in New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Very yeah, very niche sport. But yeah, that's a that's
a cool that's what the you the old.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, don't mess with me.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
There was a girl that tried to mess with me,
like I kicked out of It was one of my
final games that got kicked out because she tripped me
and I took the lacrosse stick like a baseball bat.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
My mom was so proud.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
I just took it right to her head.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
I was like, yeah, yeah, snoop DOGG. We've talked a
lot about Snoop Dog.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Five hundred thousand a day is the rumored he's getting
for being an ambassador for NBC.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Right, Literally, it's worth every penny. I think he's getting underpaid.
He is an internation. I always said national. He's an
international treasure.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
The man. I want him to narrate my life.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I want him to do play by plays of everything
for me, because he just brings joy and smiles. Even
if you don't like him, you can't help but smile
when he's announcing one of the sports.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I think the trick is he's always himself, isn't it
what environment? And he doesn't change who he is.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, I mean hence him and Martha Stewart are good
friends and they legit are And I think when you
saw them when they I don't know what it's called.
What is it?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
When like the the horses like dance?

Speaker 5 (03:48):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
And he's announcing with.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
With Martha Stewart and everyone's like, oh, there's no. They're
like legit best like they are good friends. They go
out in private and hang like their buddies atost unassuming
friendship ever, But it's.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
The hits that Jon Ben Podcast, Good Morning to my friend.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Nice to talk to you.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Always us today, but we forgot to do the thing
where we teach us something from New Zealand.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yes, some more New Zealand language. Now here's a colloquialism
that we do regularly. Is we for some reason whenever
you ask us a question. So if you, for example,
said would you like a coffee, we would go year
and a. So we say like yes and no yeah
in the same response, but it means yes generally means yes.

(04:37):
You just for some reason go yeah yea nah.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Yeah, No, it's just just a weird thing, okay, nic
I feel like we maybe do that.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's like, yeah, do you want this? And I was
like no, no, no, yeah, that's not the norm. That's
very weird, and they'd be very confusing.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
And if it's like my first day's an intern on
the job with you guys, I would be very nervous
even ask what that meant?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't know. It's just an automatic response.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
That we do.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
How come not nah?

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Don't you want to end with the actual answer, We should?

Speaker 6 (05:04):
You're right, we should. Yeah, I don't know why we
do it?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Did you leave? The confusion is left with the final word.
You see, you're right, is this only New Zealand?

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Er?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Is this Australia too?

Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's pretty much New Zealand thing.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
It's weird.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
It's a lack of confidence that we have in ourselves.
But we don't want to We don't want to put.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Like naar, no, you figure it out, figure out what
I Wantah, we don't want to put you out.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Like if you're if you're making a coffee year, it
will take one.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
But if you don't know, so it's a respect thing.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
It's like.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, okay, now, okay, I'm going to try to make
that happen here.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Obviously, the Olympics have been dominating a lot of even
pop culture. As you said before, I mean, what else
is making news over there? I mean there's the dead
pools out, we've got justin. Timberlake's been in court. But
zech Efron seem to injure himself in the pool. What's
making news over there?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (05:52):
The whole zach Efron thing is very bizarre to me.
I'm not understanding what's going on with that. I feel
like they're hiding something. What if something horrible happened, something
horrible happened, like if he was drinking or if he
was like on something, which I'm not saying it is,
but it's very it's very rare that a grown man
is found unresponsive in a pool and it's not related

(06:15):
to like partying. Let's say, it just doesn't make sense
to me. So I just feel like, yeah, maybe he
had one too many. Like they said that he smashed
his like chest them.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
About the pool and breathing in some water. Okay, he
did that because he was right, Like there's something. They
keep giving updates something, sus something's very very.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Like you're gonna have a few.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
I mean, you're gonna have a few drinks.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
In theory, he's an eba. He's watching the Olympics. He's
inspired by the UIs swim team.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
The diving.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Tried his handle that.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, he'st with the demons, isn't he the pool guy.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yes, he's definitely battled some demons. And listen again, like
you just said, you can like it's it's you're in
a beast of like you remember Mike Posner song I
took a pill.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I was cool because I thought you were doing as Yeah,
do you know we were lucky enough to interview Zach
Efron in Australia and took a lovely photo. He was
gracious enough to take a photo at the end, and
then John I got annoyed because I cropped him out
of the photo.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
Was the three of us?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
You can't do that. You can't do that.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
You shoulders and there.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
But I was like, mate, if I've got the opportunity
to look like it's just me and Zach Effron hanging
out together, I'm going to take that all day.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
He could have just the photo, but he went to
the trouble to click it and zooming in what difference
does it mean?

Speaker 2 (07:28):
But now you're the thing. Did it look did it
look like it was just you two? Or did you
see like Johnald's hand there but you cut off?

Speaker 6 (07:35):
I saw another shoulder, another hand, But I stand by
my decision.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It was a bad friend. Oh.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Mate was probably doing his silly face to and I'm like, no,
this cut the.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Ugly one out.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Process the proceeds to.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Go through that, it's not hard, yeah right, Like he
literally like talk about passion, passion for his picture with
the beautiful Zach effort to.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Sit and crop and cut and snip and photoshop.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Come on, come on, you have to drag your finger
on that little squire, the car it's always cried to
catch up, and we'll look forward to doing it, doing
it again next week, all right
