Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's jon On and being Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, that's us broad to you by Hello Fresh the
Experts and Tastes.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
That kiwis love.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I want to ask you, guys, should I be worried
about a situation that's going on? Okay, you should be
worried because you know, like in the weekends, my wife
and I would like sometimes we'll go for a you know,
walk the dog. We'll go, you know, and on our walk,
we'll stop off for at a cafe and get a
hot drink or whatever.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
On our on our walk.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
And I've noticed she started to do something when because
sometimes she will order the hot drinks, she just she
gives a different name. She's like, well, you know how
they often asked the name of the order, and see
this thing Amanda, she just goes Sam And I'm like, really,
it really throws me.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
And then we've got an olderygo at the cafe.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know, and I'm like, why do you do that?
She's like, oh, Sam, it is easier. It's just easier.
And I was like, Amanda's not a complicated name.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Maybe she said Amanda once and they thought it was Samanda.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, but I feel like, you know, we've talked about
before when you know I've traveled and gone to America
for work, or they have a shocking time with the
New Zealand X. I understand that that's been been. I've
got I've got Dean, I've got in. I even try
to overpronounce and got bean. So I understand when you're
way like that, or if you've got a name that's complicated.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
But Aman just seems pretty straightforward now.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
And then they call that Sam and then I have
to go out and pick up a thing. I'm like,
why are we doing this? Sam? She's like, it just
seems like an easier name. And then I'm like, well,
why have you starting to come up with a name here?
What else is going on?

Speaker 4 (01:22):
She always Sam at that cafe, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah she's been Sam. Yeah, other cafes.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
A cafe persona, yeah Sam.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
She's like, now, I just if I order a hot
drink from a cafe, you Tella coffee whatever, I'm just
I'm ordering under the name Sam because no one ever
gets Sam wrong. But I'm like, a man does not complicate.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
It's also good for avoiding any parking tickets, text investigations to.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Just change your name. She on the run to wonder
I wonder if there's a whole other light. I mean,
I probably overthought this. There's a whole Sam her, whole
other life that's going on without me.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
So it feels like at the beginning of one of
those Netflix stocking me I was married to for you,
I thought I.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Knew flakes were there.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
In hindsight, was man, maybe it's been Sam the whole time.
I'll play so there we go.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I'll keep you up to date. Without that one was gone,
the Sam saga, My relationship was Sam, but new wife.

Key We hero the Heads that Joan Ben podcast Waning Now.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I wanted to see if you guys can play the
high road take the high road for this news story.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I've just been reading about second care.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
It feels like it's an obvious joke to be made,
and I want you to see if you guys can
avoid it. Now in Australia, Domino's Pizza have been looking
for a person to be the hand so it's a job.
It's an application for that for someone to be the
hand in their heads. Okay, okay, so we've got we're
going to have a good looking hand. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
So I feel like there's an obvious joke that you
could make it. I don't know what that the person is.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, hand employment, yeah, exactly, hand employment job.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, an occupation for a hand undred one hundred dollars
an hour.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's paying at the moment, and you get to be
the official hand job employment and employment person and the
and the commercial.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
So you're the ones holding the pizza.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, and all their advertising at the moment. It's been

It's got the job good hand out of yeah, yeah,
nice hand. Yeah, it's a lovely good hands Megan, you
could do it, thank you.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
But it's been very a huge and successful campaign over
there for them on the search for.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, I'm making the joke in my head.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, you can make the joke. You can make the
joke vocalizing exactly exactly. So well done, because we we
we talked about this before we made a hand model.
We did the Uber eats. There was a guy from
Australia got flown over for the ad. He was just
picking up the Uber Eats orders and He'll like, sweet,
what a great gig. It is just got to be.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Does it pay so much?

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
It feels like it's I mean, this is obviously done
as a marketing thing. I feel yeah, right, otherwise they've
got to got Bury from the office and Tom get
this is.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
There's a whole agency for hand models.

Speaker 5 (09:17):

Speaker 7 (10:22):
I really wish I wasn't meeting all Black legions Jefferson

Speaker 4 (10:27):
But we are.

Speaker 10 (10:29):
Look, you're actually your stock's gone up to the fact
that you didn't. You didn't You could easily gone home early,
but clearly you did it.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Radio shows aren't here today.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
You've fronted up radio expect you mean, recorded yourself and
filmed yourself last night.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
To get it.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
I'm a mob wife.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Let seem trying to get an a door last night last.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Night, but her.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
My dad could not be proud of Right now.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Lovely to see you, Jiff, and you really couldn't get
more exciting competition for Super Rugby this year. You're just
saying in previous years, you know the Crusaders were going
to mow over everyone.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yep, like you're saying.

Speaker 10 (11:07):
Up until last weekend, there were a chance, right, and
so everyone was distracted by the fact are they going
to make it?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Well, now we know they're not there.

Speaker 10 (11:13):
So all of a sudden, the Blues fans, the Hurricanes fans,
the Chiefs fans all year, the Brumbies fans, Highlanders fans
myself are looking at it going yeah, but the Crusaders,
that's not a conversation now, it's we've got every opportunity
to go out and win a trophy which no one
else has touched other than people from Christchurch. So now
someone else is going to celebrate. And when you've got

(11:34):
to work so hard to get something like this, and
you guys have tasted success when you get to that
point and then you finally get there, for a lot
of these players, it's uncharted territory and they'll get to celebrate.
And we're talking about a new generation of the game.
It's been a really fun year and how it's going
to play out over the next three weeks is going
to be fantastic.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
It's cool.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
We've got the trophy here in the studio.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's a big.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
It's a big, heavy looking trophy.

Speaker 10 (11:54):
It's actually three D digitally printed this thing. Yeah, it's
pretty cool, you know, but it's it is a great trophy.
I think when they when they decided on something new,
when Super Rakia Pacific was created and they thought themselves,
we need something that's really cool.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
It is.

Speaker 10 (12:06):
It's fantastic. It's it's very blue on the inside. Now,
whether or not that's symbolic for this year, I'm not sure.
I could say the Highlanders are a blue jersey. But
the Blues have been a team. They've been right there, right,
they've you know, thought they've had the squad. Last year
they went down the christ Church in the semi final,
took a hiding. The year before that they were so
very very close. So maybe is it their year?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
The Hurricanes top of the table though, because last week
are you a Hurricanes fan? Well yeah, deep down, yeah,
deep down originally from masterden of our team. But it
was weird watching the Blues last week. They won, but
then they didn't get the bonus point. It was almost
like a loss.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
Bizarre.

Speaker 10 (12:40):
Doing the postmatch interviews, I'm going out there and normally
you're getting someone who's elated, happy, or the way they've gone,
but that one bonus point had such significance in terms
of the competition. But it might not work out too bad.
They might not have to go through the Cheeks to
get to a well, they won't have to go through
the Chiefs in all likelihood to get to a final.
So all of a sudden, the Hurricanes might have a
lunch in front of them, but they're at home? Are

(13:02):
the Hurricanes fans? Sky study has been fantastic this year,
really has, but insane that across the board there's been
a real buy into the competition in regards to not
just viewerships up, but the number of people starting to
go back to games. Some late afternoon games have helped that,
but also, like I say, people starting believing they can win.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
It felt like rugby needed it a bit of a change.

Speaker 10 (13:22):
At the moment, there's been a lot of stuff going
on ye and it's hard to not get distracted by that.
But by the same token, we've got a new all
black setup, new all black coach. Guys are playing for positions.
Some guys in the next month, the next three weeks
will play their way into the All Blacks, just through
form and the fact we've got a change of leadership,
so there's all those little things. Like I say, a

(13:43):
few players have hited off overseas, So conversations will ramp
up not just on who's going to win a title,
but also going to be wearing black this year.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Okay, do you feel someone with us ahead of the
quarterfinals this weekend? If successful sports family you come from,
and I know you coached your son's basketball team. My
son was also in the same intermediate tournaments as your son's.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
You can't do it on money. You're like Jeff Wilson
was coaching Buddy.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Jeff Wilson was coaching Let's go home, back up stop.
And it wasn't that.

Speaker 10 (14:10):
That's not anything to do with me. That's to do
with those We had a great group of kids. That's
a great tournament. It was a great it's a great tournaments.
James is fantastic, you know, and said when you get
to be a part of the things like that, and
you know, I can relate it back to the Super Rugby.
Any group you are, if you get a connected group,
and that's what we're seeing out of the Hurricanes. You
see what they're putting online, the fact that they clearly

(14:33):
are aside that that understand what it takes and what
they're gonna need to be to win a title. You know,
the Blues are so desperate. The Chiefs it's hanging from
last year. You know, they're one play away from winning
a Super Rugby title. No difference when you get to
those computible, curical moments with intermediate school kids where to
be honest with you, I lost my ship when we
won the.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Talk State GI exactly did winning the whole tournament.

Speaker 10 (14:57):
Maybe, And honestly my celebration was ridiculous. The lonely kids, yeah,
you know, one hundred percent right, and other coaches just
give me.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
You can't do that.

Speaker 6 (15:11):
The stress the heads that johnaan Ben podcast, Speaking.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Of sweet It's a national International Donut Day today honoring
what the first Salvation Army actually came up with it
in nineteen thirty eight. They gave a whole lot of
donuts to soldiers who are fighting during World War There's

came from songs, and Muffy is purely to do with
the number plate.

fit those ones.

If you went to the earlier shows and then you
don't get to see the new stuff she's added.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
The new songs.

Radio and Podcast Awards, a big thing for the radio
and podcast industry Thursday night. As we said before, what
monster puts this on a Thursday night? Particularly we've got
an early start the next Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
But I wasn't going to let that stop me. That's
the radio industry's fault.

Speaker 5 (21:49):

Maybe I'm pretty sure that's never happened before, But I
don't know what to say. I didn't want to say

Or you're like you're hiding it. Well, you're like kids
all night. You didn't.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Absolutely and it was all fun.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
And for some reason, I don't know why, but you
decided to document the whole night on on video.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, because no one else filmed all this, but you
decided to. And you went back to producer Taylor's house
with producer Grace. There was all of you guys having
a bit of a sleepover because it was easier to
go back to the one house then go back to
your separate houses. Yeah, and you documented the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Just for context. I don't remember getting home.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
I remember, so this is when we arrived at produced
the Taylor's house, who was already home, and we didn't
want to wake her.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Up to give it Grace.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
I'm a mob wife. Ouch, I think that's a thistle, Grace,
can you just I'm trying to pack up my shoes.
Grace has left me.

Speaker 7 (23:37):
It's also only ten Thirtyden Louis.

Speaker 15 (23:42):
Let us send Louis, Let us send LOUI.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
It's big times.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
I don't know my husband.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, we need to say. Louie's a dog, this dog
and I don't have a husband's.

Speaker 4 (24:08):

Hoping the mob wife was a reference to something in
the evening was now tailor.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Well you have produce Grace and me can come to
save you again.

Speaker 13 (24:21):
So on arrival, Grace smashed the whole bottle of tequila
on my floorboard and drenched my dog in tequila, and
I pierced my foot open on glass.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
So no, he went home without them.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Yes, you're right, and can I just preference.

Speaker 13 (24:35):
I gave both these girls the past code to get
in my house so I didn't have to wake up
and the dog wouldn't have to wake up.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, I don't know if you heard, but I was
in no state to be putting codes and doors.

Speaker 8 (24:49):
You're a.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Drug, was Louis.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
By the end of the night.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Oh but he was the most intoxicated.

Speaker 13 (24:55):
He smelled like it too.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Is going to get back and go their sheets.

Speaker 13 (25:00):
I'm scared to go back and smell the sheets they
slend in.

Speaker 16 (25:04):
Recently that we eat on the floor. Okay, doing all
the at ten he pissed himself that because he's drinking
to keep it.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
He's getting lucky here tonight with this one.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Forgo absolutely for already started for your work. You know,
if you have a weekend as good as vegans, if
you're here to get to yours.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
The million dollars that is the lot of prize tomorrow night,
a huge must win. We're going to be trying to
make you guys, you know a show syndicate thing we're
going to do just after eight o'clock today.

Speaker 5 (25:39):

the line? We need seven, don't we concluding the powerball?

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, so we're going to be out of well, we'll
get to it's a little complicated, you know, finances, that
sort of thing. But we'll get to that after eight
o'clock this morning. You could be winning your share of
fifty million dollars with us on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's Friday flashback.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Yes, we look back at a simpler time in New
Zealand at a time we're advertising really leaned on the
old jingle, didn't they. We loved a jingle back in
the day, not just a jingle too. Sometimes I would
extend to fill three and a half four and a
half minute songs.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Well because I guess we were watching TV. TV was
the thing back then, so you were you were really
getting too. I mean you had to sit through the
commercials and you really got into the good ones. Right nowadays,
I can't tell you what commercials are on TV. Yeah,
a long vote. There's one one New Zealand one that's
quite a long one. I've seen from time to time
where guys out in the countryside and stuff.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Does that just interrupt your streaming? What's your favorite commercial
at the moment?

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Have you got a favorite? I do love those depressing
pet ads we play.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
You drop the puppy was angry.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
They had home.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
Puppy but yes, I'm a little back. It's an inter
island at commercial now the ter islander. Wonderful past your
fury service, doesn't it? And you think the last thing
it needed was a full three and a half minute song.
But no, the war Tars were the band.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
This an actual band, great band.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, this was.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Early nineties and the whole lad was the lads on
tour tight blue jeans.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
No one stood a chance on that boat.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
They spent a lot of time at the pub for memory,
didn't they They were just.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Chomping back the beers on.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I don't know who was driving when they got invictor
don't worry about that when we get to the other side.
But this was It was an iconic song. Have a listen.

Speaker 15 (27:41):
I'm packed, my bad upturned the key, can't get away
too soon, and me my hat, I'm ready to go.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
So many things to see and everyone knows that.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Feeling five.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
It was good.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
It was a great head.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Yeah, it was good, and just said, had all the
band members doing the various things, pounding beers all.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Over the pounding me as and ladies all over the ship.

Speaker 8 (28:18):
Yah.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
All I remember is them just spending a lot of
time at the bar. On the uraland but you know
that's great. Yeah, we went on the have you ever
been on the Blue Bridge? And these the other it's
more for the sort of truckers and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
It's the battler.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, it was great and there was all sorts of bunk,
but you just slept the whole time.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Great sleep.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
We got a corporate sweet which was essentially just a
bead next to a big trucker that.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
I was sleeping with and it was great. It was great.
I think I passed out fumes because I think.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
It takes a bit longer I think than the Inland
that takes like five hours or something. But yeah, but
you just.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
The Blue Bridge doesn't ever saw the hits that jonaan
Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
We get six callers on and we'll start a syndicate
between the six. Well play just one line and if
we win the fifty million dollars, we'll split it up
six ways. But we need six different numbers from you
on oh one hundred the hats and.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
The meantime though, we've got representative from Lotto on the
phone to talk more about it.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Lucy, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
I'd love to talk to you big weekend fifty million
dollars at Lotto.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
That's massive.

Speaker 11 (29:17):
Yeah, it's huge.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
So this is the biggest, well the most amount of
money ever up there with the most amount of money
ever for Lotto.

Speaker 11 (29:24):
Yeah, it's as high as we can go.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
This is the stop, said, the madness stops.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
So what happens if it's not struck by someone winning
it on their own first division?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
What happens then?

Speaker 9 (29:32):
So then it rolls down the second division, so well,
the next powerful division where there are winners. So sometimes
there isn't anybody of powerble second divisions, and then it
will go to third division and it'll be split evenly
between all the people who win that division.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Right, So, if someone wins the fifty million, is that
that would be the biggest ever win for Lotto ever?
Would it be?

Speaker 9 (29:52):
It would be it would be the biggest win in
our city five year history.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
And so what happens if you know there's one single
person who takes our first division? Does the money go
into the account straight away? Or how does that work?

Speaker 11 (30:05):
Yeah? Good question.

Speaker 9 (30:06):
So it doesn't go in straight away. We do have
a few things we'll need to go through to kind
of get it set up. The tickets we'd need to
look at the ticket.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Do they have to come to your office or what
plays out once someone wins.

Speaker 9 (30:20):
Yes, it's possible to claim without coming, but for this amount,
would we would strongly advise.

Speaker 11 (30:26):
Them to come.

Speaker 9 (30:27):
Just such a lot and you really just want to
have a chance to sit down with them and talk
through it. And generally we try and ensure that they've
come and talked to us, and we've put them in
touch with somebody at their bank who can help them
out on that side of things before we put the
money in their account. Because the money does just go
in straight into your check account. You look in your
normal banking and it's just got a few extra zeros

(30:47):
on it.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Should there be a nerve wrecking time, they're holding onto
that ticket for a day or two before coming in
to see you as well, tell you like, don't lose
this ticket.

Speaker 11 (30:55):
I tell you what.

Speaker 9 (30:55):
People are so relieved to give it to us, and
I'm not sure if you guys are. About about a
year ago, we had someone as in christ Church who
one thirty three million and they just needed some time
to process before they got in touch with us, So
they had the ticket in their house for ten days
and their soft drawer. O, my god. And the woman
said she just was paranoid about leaving the iron on,
so she checked fifty times that the iron was off

(31:18):
before she missed the hound.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
There is work.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Can you take a photo of the ticket?

Speaker 9 (31:22):
Yeah you can, but yeah, we need we need the
actual ticket in order to process the claim.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well can you obviously you work for Lotto? Are you
allowed to play as well? Because we talked to Sony, great,
she can play the presenter.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Are you allowed to play?

Speaker 9 (31:38):
Yes, yeah, I'm allowed to play, so and and Sonya
might have talked you through this, but it's just so
rigorously monitored. So we are allowed to play. If we
buy a ticket in store, we need to make sure
that we've put there's a special button they pressed to
say that it's a staff ticket. So there's a few
chicks and balances like that that we that we do play.

Speaker 7 (31:57):
It's a big jackpot, so people might want to like
up chances, But buying like multiple tickets doesn't necessarily up
your chances of winning, does it.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
No?

Speaker 9 (32:06):
I mean it does mathematically, but the chances is a
small chance to win, and so whether you buy one
ticket or more than one ticket doesn't really make that
much difference, So you know, and it's just really understanding
what you're buying. What you're buying is a very small
chance to win, but it's really a chance to be
part of the fun and to dream for a couple
of days and have a chat to your workmates about

(32:26):
what you spended on.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Good fill of content to radio. We've that hard.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Is there any stats to say there's more winners when
you pick your own numbers or you let the automation.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Do it for you.

Speaker 9 (32:42):
Yeah, it doesn't really make any difference. So we've locked
at all these numbers quite regularly. We look at them,
and it just a line sort of sales. So when
you look at the number of winning tickets and then
the number of tickets or the proportion of winning tickets
and the proportion of tickets that have won big prizes,
it all lines up with the proportion of sales. And
we see a greater majority of people choose a dip

(33:03):
because I don't know if you guys are like me,
but I'm a bit lazy, so I can't be bother
picking my own numbers, and so when you see what wins,
it's system line with that.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Some people just stick with the same numbers consistently.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
You can't start well, yeah, sure, you'd have to get
writing it out.

Speaker 9 (33:18):
Yeah, exactly right, I mean what yeah, how would you feel?

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (33:23):
We did have one one who he always picked his
own numbers, and he'd done that for several years and
then he saw a promo where it was a triple
debt and you want a car, so he thought, oh,
just do that this week. So he got a triple
debt one thirteen million dollars.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Wow, well we're all dreaming about potentially fifty million dollars.
Lovely to talk to you. Thanks for your time this morning.
We really appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
The hits that JOHNA and Ben podcast million filotto.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
So we're going to play one line as a show,
but you know we're going to step back and we're
not going to take any part of it. Six six
callers on one hundred hits, each coming up with a
random number or me again, you're gonna come up with
a bonus. The power board a lot of pressure.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
It's between one and ten. You need to pick the
bonus for right now. This If this comes off, this
could be the greatest, slash most regretful moment of our lives.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, because we're not taking any of it.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
You're only going to win a lot at once. This
is are we are?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
We happy?

Speaker 3 (34:17):
We're all comfortable that if this does happen.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
I think our legal team here at the Hats were like,
my mate, but you have to step back. It's so anyway,
so many money.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, I mean it's no.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
We're not allowed to take any or legally no.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
No.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
So that's why we'll put that. We'll put a ticket
on six people on one hundred hats right now. You
each choose the number and if it wins, you get
to split the fifty million.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
If it wins. It's going to be a bumper year
for insured me.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I can't take it.
