But when you don't want them, they're everywhere. Yeah. So
you've been up late eleven o'clock plus helping my daughter.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
She'd now, To be fair, she'd done all the work,
she had done the research and done all the writing
that was required, but.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
She needed it presented on a slide show. I had
no slideshow skills.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
The big thing now all the kids are into them,
though right slightly.

Speaker 6 (03:21):
They love a slide show right and it was demonstrating
the ecosystem of New Zealand high country you know, so
the tussic's growing in the kier.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
E's the blah blah. It's the kia.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
So you're not passing with the blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Like I said, my wife, she's doing a lot of this.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
This is the great thing about being the less educated
one in the households.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Her with the brain.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
She's running a lot of the answer a lot of
the questions and help out there on that front.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
More of a presentation.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
The last speech you could do. But and crafts is
not really your thing.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
No, don't have the patience stated paties.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
You go through school, you're like, we'll never have to
do that again, and then God, that's over and you
have kids.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Mate, you're back in the system. Yeah, helping out. But anyway,
we had to do this flow chart of the things
on the slide shows and stuff like that. I still
don't know what the marks are.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
That's the thing you get sometimes.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, in the same you never got the results back.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
No, I made a whole Hogwarts, like a whole Hogwarts
out of like the inside of paper towels, the tubes
and the toilet, you know, like I spent I was
up till like three in the morning.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
It was like, get away kids.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
The kids were on it for a while. Then I
was like, I really got a painting and doing anything
and took a the this tray thing took at the
school and I was like, better get great marks for that.
Never heard and it's.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Weird if you're calling being like, hey, what's on that
Hogwarts things?

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Yeah, I'm sure the teachers are like, oh that screams parents.
Let's try and find if that teacher is listening and
you were handed in a boys Hogwarts castle?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
How how do you do? How do you do? Let's
get the mask now, I under that is all we
want to open up.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Have you been ghost writing and ghost helping on a
school project and never got any credit for it?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay, now we'll give you the credit. You phone us up,
just go oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
You know I worked on a bloody paper mayre shape
justinder our dune, never got any kudos for the artwork.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
We'll give it to you right now.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
All the heats that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
Projects, the ghostwriters, the ghost workers on school projects that
never get acknowledged, don't get the recognition they deserve. Well,
now's your time, phone up one hundred. The hats have
you secretly worked on a project at school, never got
the kudos. Ben was up till three o'clock in the
morning building Harry Potter's Hogwarts.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Many years ago out of toilet paper rolls and paper towel.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
You never even got a mark.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
No, it was kind of at the end of the
year sort of thing. I just feel like filler content too.
Why do you go home and make the Hogwarts out
of toilet paper rolls. Let's get Mary on what you
never got credit for. Mary.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
My daughter was at primary school and we had to
do a monument in Paris and we did the Acti Triumph.
So we did this big board with all the different
about five or six different lanes around it, and they
made the monument how the cardboard and hand painted it.
And then we got all these little matchbox cars and
had them all going in the wrong direction, you know,

(06:19):
as they do.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
And no detail was skipped, no.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
No detail was skipped. And she took that in and
she's now twenty three and last or six months ago
I took her to Paris and my thing was to
always take her to the Arti Triumph and we were
on a TikTok and she just went. She didn't even
know she was coming up to it, and they just
went straight across, right into the middle of it, and
there it was. And I've got the most amazing photo

(06:44):
of her and I in front of her.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh, there you go.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
If you've been to that roundabout, it's not something I
would like to break it head.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, the whole noise, isn't that. Yeah, I thought she
was going to be taking totok.

Speaker 7 (06:57):
And of course they have to give away the ones
coming on coming on, And so the top talk drive
had just went straight right through the whole five lanes,
right into the center and their eyes just opened up
and we were there.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
It might have been easier to build the extra distri Yeah,
are going on?

Speaker 6 (07:16):
You Mary appreciate that. Tash, Well, you will ever do
kids homework again.

Speaker 8 (07:21):
Never ever. My son, my son wouldn't let me do
it any of his homework again either. What happened, well,
he missed the school trip. He was at primary school,
but he missed the school trip because he was sick
up to Russell and they had to do a big
assignment on it. And so I spent I don't know
how many days googling, researching, typing it like a seven
year old wood and he failed.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
So he dumped it down too much?

Speaker 8 (07:52):
Was a fine line, right, ye at least so Yeah,
I was never allowed to do anything well proof for
eat any of a sign his assignments.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Yeah, I feel there's a bit humiliating when you fail
a primary school project, does it they appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Let's get lean on.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Are you giving you the credit you deserve for secretly
working on school projects? Lynn?

Speaker 9 (08:13):
Yeah, So my son and I we were doing a
bake cake caking, cake baking competition.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Difficult words to get out. They are they together?

Speaker 9 (08:22):
Cake, bake, bape, cake making, baked cake it. Yeah, so
we thought, yeah, you know, we worked on that the
night before and it looked amazing and uh you know,
we had all the all the intricacies of icing here
and there, and it just we thought we were going
to win this and we didn't get top three.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Ah Lord, discrace.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
Just might have seen right through us.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, well maybe there were a better, better pearance out there. Baking.

Speaker 9 (08:49):
Yeah, it looked very good and I think it just
got out a little bit too much. Were disappointed.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Appreciate you call there and great text here.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
My dad built the solar system for me rotated and
everything automatically, and I won.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
A huge regional science fair.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
Had nothing to do with it. Dad couldn't have been
prouders that.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Jonaan Ben podcast A fan of.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Baby Raindeer, the Netflix show about the Well. It seems
loosely based on a true story question Mark about a comedian,
Scottish comedian who gets stalked. He's tried to say he
sort of made things like hard to tell who the
actual person was, but the actual stalker has come A
leed stalker has come out, and she's trying to sue
Netflix for a couple hundred million New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Dollars one hundred and seventy mil. So everyone found her
from her tweets and then she came forward and did
an interview with Piers Morgan, but she claimed that it's
not all truth. So now she's sewing them for defamation.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
How do you land one hundred and seventy mil?

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Yeah, if you Okay, So someone's to fame with the
good character of being boys here, Megan Peppers, Okay, I've
done a Netflix doco on YouTube, all right, It's completely
fabricated as only I would do. And you're like, how
I need a figure to settle this to make myself
feel great.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Easily you go over one hundred minuts.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Would you be happy with? What depends what you find
your character work? Yeah, what you're doing, it depends. I
mean would be like if it was all if it
is untrue for a second, it's untrue, then you would
want a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Does she have to prove that it's all untrue because
people have found her tweets so those definitely happened.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Or to what point is damaging to her?

Speaker 10 (10:24):
Well?

Speaker 6 (10:24):
I think just on the international scale of the defamation,
like this is this is not just six thirty in
the morning on a Monday are saying some stuff on
the radio.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
This was worldwide. Everyone knows who she is.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
They hunted her down on the internet, and now she's
one hundred and seventy millions like fear.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
How much did he make off the show? She probably
all on everywhere. Perhaps in the profits they both seed
some stuff may or may not have been true. I
did some stuff we regret.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Go halves down the middle, just just quickly before we
hit seven o'clock, because I don't news not too far awayes.
I had a frustrating moment yesterday ed the mall because
my daughter took She went with a bunch of friends
to the movies and I was like, well, hey, you
guys go and I'll make sure you're fine. I'll sit
out just outside there was like a coffee shop and
do some work out there. Fine, they went to the movies.
Then I waited for them to come out. And in

(11:17):
one of the movies, one of them had done a
great one of those great pranks where they tied the
shoelaces together of these shoes, you know, so the shoes
are connected. So one of the girls couldn't quite walk.
I'm like, oh god, I've got to drop them back
to the parents. I don't want to look like I'm
the irresponsible person that is, you know, broughing a daughter
home with the shoelaces tied together. So do you think
I could undo the shoelace.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Oh, they're really tired. Oh they were walking with them tied.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, she couldn't really walk, but she tried. And I
was like ten fifteen minutes trying to get these women shoelacers.
I was like, good gag, good gag, but appreciate the
keys in there. Trying to put hair clips all sorts
of stuff. Then I'm like, I'm gonna have to buy shoelacers.
You guys, oh you're there, I'm going to buy a shoelacers.
I have to go buy shoelacers. Went to the Converse.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Order they never win.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Another sort of running around trying to do that. Finally
got the shoelaces come back, and then like, oh no,
we're all good. Now we've got the man done.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
So now you're yeah, the.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Kind of like she couldn't take them off either. That
was the thing. It was like at the end of
the drive where you don't have to deal with just
pop your way back up the driveway.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
That johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 6 (19:28):
Now from the Hits and Christ which Friday we were
live we found himself stuck inside the hotel stairwell it out?

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Are you locked in the corner?

Speaker 10 (19:39):
I am what I out?

Speaker 6 (19:41):
You'll be glad to know he's alive and well he survived,
But yeah, we're just wondering were you've been stuck. I
remember we locked ourselves. This was voluntarily locked ourselves inside
of like a purse Bits box in the west Field
and we were allowed to be released from box until
we sold a Rubert's Cube, not really.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Knowing how Rubscus were, which just thought maybe if we're
in there for long enough we might stumble across how
to solve it. That's not how it happens. There is
a code and there's are things there's like a formula.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
We have our phone to YouTube.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
No we go in allowed, but we're allowed to ask
people as they walk past them. All we're allowed. I
think three sort of helpers, sort of situation. This one girl,
school girl after fifteen, after school, she came along and
she grabbed another Rubert's Cube from a store and she
just went and she basically missed hers up to match ours,
however random thing it was. And then she showed us
step by step from the outside.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
It was incredible, very infuriating for hero about an hour,
for instance, to the right one over that way and
then took it.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, it was incredible how she got her want to
look exactly the same as ours, just the random messed
up cube. You're like, this is she's a genius.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
She is a genius.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
Yeah. And we were two middle aged men, idiots locked
in a box Julia, Hello, Hello, stuck in a cheer Yes.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
So.

Speaker 12 (20:54):
Used to go to roll of Rama on a Wednesday
night and we were playing chairs and if there's the
old style chairs with a metal frame and then a
canvas back and a canvas seat. Ah, yes, yes, And
for some reason they put one out that didn't have
a particularly good canvas seat and the ass fell through

(21:17):
and I could not get myself out the canvas broke.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
So your bottom's stuck in the frame of the cheer.

Speaker 12 (21:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, so my rollerboot feet sticking up in
the air, and yeah, I had to be rescued. I
can't quite remember how it went. I just remember being
quite traumatized by the amount of people who will have seen.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
It happen, and so to take quite a bit of
force to remove the cheer from you.

Speaker 12 (21:42):
Oh gosh, do you know, I really can't remember. I
just remember the being stuck in the chair.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Bit your mind has blocked out the trauma.

Speaker 12 (21:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
I love I always enjoy those people who is there
a children's playground, I sort of try and get into
the toddler ones and then their legs lock in the
little slots and they have to get the fire service
to cut them out with the jaws.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Of light that I think, yeah, well, hopefully no jaws
of life there. Julia, Thank you so much of a
great day. It's just a reminder.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
When I started the radio as an intern, I locked
myself in the promotional cage in the garage, you know,
and amongst theodorants, and lip balms and things, and it
was you had a fob like a swipe card fob,
and it was pitch black. Light just turned off after
a while, and I was literally in there for probably
about an hour and a half, hands and knees in
amongst like all the special k samples and things like that,

(22:36):
until I finally found it.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Because no one cares about the intern We'll just get
another one.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
That one.

Speaker 15 (22:44):
There might be right now down a couple downstairs, know,
but at least there's ten more week.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
And I the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Auckland City Mission, a whole lot of celebrity, chefs and
members of the public helping cook a meal for one
hundred and fifty mission guests, many a home of experiencing

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Was it Intre Lanka At the moment it.

Speaker 16 (23:27):

but it's good tea. Making weather a little more rain?

Speaker 1 (23:33):
They meant, yeah, right, what is the best conditions for
making tea?

Speaker 16 (23:37):
Bright beautiful morning sunshine, a little bit of a gentle
afternoon shower, bit of humidity eighty ninety percent, and you've
got a great couple of strong dil mate.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
So how long you'd make a good weather present? Sudding?

Speaker 6 (23:51):
I brought up with these guys three weeks ago. I
got into a TikTok hole. There was a video and
it was like classical. You play classical music to plants,
and the own of the classical music mimics the birds,
and the tubing of the birds is actually used to
wake up plants every day, and the classical music has
the same tone as the birds, and.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Plants grew more.

Speaker 16 (24:11):
You're a romantic.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
With your teammate, check and some bark or Beethoven.

Speaker 16 (24:17):
We have tried it, You're right, did you try it?
But the reason is the vibrations, the vibrations the audio.
It's nothing to do with the birds. Yeah, of course,
it's nice. Actually we should be.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Wrong half truth from me.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Are you over here for a city mission cookoff?

Speaker 16 (24:34):
Which is that's happening happening quite soon on Monday, and
I've been training. It's taking it seriously. It never boiled
an egg, well, I learned this morning. Did you know
you have to put white wine vinegar into into the
into the mixture while you're boiling.

Speaker 8 (24:50):
Did you know that?

Speaker 3 (24:50):
I bet you didn't.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Water Sometimes with post eggs, I didn't know you could
do that, but not for boiling eggs.

Speaker 16 (24:55):
So no, how many minutes for a soft boiled egg?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
It's about sex. Yeah, one half expert. You got my
pan in there to the right. It was good.

Speaker 16 (25:11):
Well, yeah, I didn't get to eat it, but fifty
people on Monday will get that opportunity.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
The second most popular drink in the world after water
her tea, we learned the other day. Yeah, it is,
So how about you when you looked you were drinking?
How many do I drink? Fifteen cups a day?

Speaker 16 (25:27):
Yeah, and you know, full of antioxidants, natural plant based goodness,
so you can't ask for better. But then you know,
my son puts a little bit of this and that
in it. And a little bit of kiwi gin.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
And what's one thing about Shronaka that you could teach
us that we wouldn't know? Like, what's one thing about
the country.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
We got some beautiful, beautiful beaches, but I'm sure you
already know that.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, and the jungle and.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
The heads that Jonavan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Rough one around the country weatherwise for the next couple
of days. But Travis Kelcey in relationship with Taylor Swift,
famous American footballer him and his brother was also a
very famous American footballer. They do a podcast in America
and they got talking about washing their feet in the shower.
I have a listen.

Speaker 11 (27:21):
It started with somebody saying, Jason Kelsey looks like he
doesn't wash his legs or feet.

Speaker 17 (27:26):
Yeah, obviously, who the fuck washes your legs? What kind
of cycle wash?

Speaker 3 (27:35):
I just forgot to take. So it's the topic he's
very passionate.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
About, very passionate about it.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
Someone because bobs someone no hair on the head, should
have maybe edited that out. But yeah, they got into
the heated discussion and Travis Kelsey's I only washed my feet.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
It's hard to pull back something on that.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
After he's been working out training and Jay is like,
why wash your feet?

Speaker 3 (28:01):
The water is trickling down on.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Them, and I tend to agree water well, I mean,
I also feel like Travis is lying. He's like, no,
I definitely wash my feet. Who goes into a shower,
Like you get to your knees and you're like.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Most times times, most times, as you left your feet up,
you've got soap on your hand. You left your feet up.
It's just the quickest part of the routine. It's just quick.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
It's generally it is a forgotten body part for most people.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Though you are here, you're standing in the soapy water.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
I guess it's probably the furthest away from the smelling
receptors too.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
That's why people probably forget about it.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, but your shoes can get stinky, you know, like
people like you're wearing shoes and socks all day. It's
a stinky So I always feel conscious that this is
my opportunity to make sure my feet don't smell when
I put them on a pair of shoes. And the
only good way to do that is by washing your feet.
Otherwise you're just like, well, yeh, water can rush over them,
but it doesn't feel like they're getting real soaped in
between the toes.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
What about like between the ankles? And the knees.

Speaker 18 (28:59):
Yeah, it's doing you do you do sis, you go
down your legs sometimes motions just depending if I could
be bothered bending down.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
That's all it is, isn't. It's just laziness.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
So Megan's not washing your feet being boys daily feet washing.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I I would wash my feet. It's just part of
the routine. Like it's like if on leg up to it,
looft the other leg up and do it. And it's
just kind of I don't even think, probably didn't even
think about it now because it's just kind of used.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
To doing it.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
We were talking about was the other day Jesus big
foot guy, big foot washing guy, wasn't He was washing
the feet of the beggars and all the sex workers
back in the day, and that was his that was
his thing hygiene. I think he was doing it as
an act of I'm not better than anyone, so I can.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
But obviously they ended up with wonderfully clean feet.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Boy probably momentarily too, because it probably just walked straight
back on the Yeah, they wouldn't have bed like tarsi
or foot paths.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Nice thing you did, so I ain't do the hats.
Has anyone have you ever washed your feet?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, I like, if they look physically dirty.

Speaker 7 (30:02):
Wash them.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
We're gonna trap this out there. This is a big,
big call for six study on a Monday morning.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Has anyone never washed their feet?

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I never washed this?

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Never.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Okay, be honest, you're in a safe space.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Okay, never was judging.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
It was never washed their feet. I mean surely people
have still had stuff before and they've gone I had
to wash my feet. You wouldn't, just like through summer
as well.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
The hits that John and Ben podcast Do You.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Wash your Feet?

Speaker 6 (30:31):
Travis Kelcey and his brother Jason Kelsey Travis Kelsey obviously
with Taylor Swift. They've got a podcast and they got
into the fact that Travis's brother Jason never washed his feet.

Speaker 11 (30:42):
It started with somebody saying, Jason Kelsey looks like he
doesn't wash his legs or feet.

Speaker 17 (30:47):
Yeah, obviously, what kind of psychopath washes your feet?

Speaker 4 (30:51):
What do you?

Speaker 17 (30:52):
Travis? Travis, don't act like you.

Speaker 11 (30:54):
I washed my feet every time, but after like a
football practice, like a SA Joe where my feet have
just been like, yes, I washed my feet.

Speaker 17 (31:03):
You're not washing Yes, you're like everybody else when you
look down if there's visible dirt on them, I'll scrub
the dirt off. I don't even touch my feet.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Why would I wash my feet.

Speaker 17 (31:13):
I'm not touching my feet unless I'm clipping my toenails.
That's the only time I touch my feet.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
That's his theory.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
I'm kind of I'm kind of on board.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
You're looking air online as well. A lot of experts,
say hygiene experts saying yes, you should a lot of
bacteria and stuff on your feet.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Ex.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, it's not unless like when the COVID experience. It
makes sure you stay at home when you're sick.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
You wash your feet to cut down smell and itxfoliate
and they start with your hygiene, washing your feet soap
and water and something from smell.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Like what I'm saying is that you're standing in the
soapy water, So that's doing the job.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Well, not as well as Yeah, I would think I would.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
The great thing about the internet is you can always
find an article to back your That's why we love
the internet.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Now he checked it out there. It was a hail Mary.
Anyone who has never washed their feet being went up
a couple of octaves. He's like, never, never, Cody never
washed your feet.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Cody, Oh, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
You've never washed your feet.

Speaker 13 (32:18):
That's only like I have been out wearing gandles all things,
and just on the on the floor, just the old
wash your feet around and it couldn't have So.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
He has washed his feet. So we still haven't found someone. Yeah,
I hear it was a big call.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
But yeah, but I'm imagined there is probably a lot
of people doing what you're doing, Megan, and not actually
washing them, just letting the soaping water just run over it.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Same with the legs.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Legs, it's the basement of the body, doesn't it. The
back too. I feel like I need to give more
love and attention to my back in the shower. Sometimes
I turn around and give a little water blast, but
you know I'm not soaping my back.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
No, that's hard to kind of reach places around your back,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
So see, and that's doing just fine.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Walking along on you. You're not at rolling around the floor
of your back like your feet.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
You're going out and about the bins of your cat.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Your cat, maybe you are.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
The johonaan Ben Podcast.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
The weekend, it just passed a big week in the sports.
Hitting into it. We had the Super Rugby quarter finals.
Good to see three of the New Zealand teams making
the semi finals. So there's the Brumbies is going to
take on the Blues eating Park on Friday, and then
the Hurricanes take on the Chiefs and Wellington on Saturday.
So the piper games this come coming weekends.

Speaker 6 (33:35):
And so who's the favorite? People picking the Hurricane Hurricanes
are the Blues?

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I feel the favorites just because they got home advantage
as well, but I mean, who knows the Chiefs might
come through?

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Megan, you like rugby? I do?

Speaker 1 (33:49):
When you watched all the games of the weekend, Yeah,
what you're there?

Speaker 3 (33:53):
You love the Crusaders. I do love the Crusaders there. Yeah,
so no interest in it now?

Speaker 4 (33:59):
What is it? Good one?

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Not Saturday? I love the way you just chip in
a little bits of sport. You make it feel like
you're part of the team.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
I was getting updates about the Warriors from Abies three.
Who was watching it?

Speaker 15 (34:09):
It's good?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Now they're ninth and they need to be in the
top eight, right? How long until the cutoff of the
top eight, which.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Feels like there should be a lot higher up given
the recent success of the Only Night.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I think, well, because they had that sort of a
little bit of a scratchy start to the season. But yeah,
well we love the Warriors. About halfway through the season
at the moment, so yeah, long season, so it's good.
It's feeling a lot better now, right. Where would being
boy like to end up inside the top eight?

Speaker 17 (34:30):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
You always yeah. I mean you want to be top
four if you could, because I think that helps you
for other lives and stuff. But the top four your head,
that's yeah, just getting in the top eight though, you've
still got a chance, you know, And then I would.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Use a pounding of queens.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Queenland cricket lost Afghanistan the first game of the Cricket
World Cup, which is bit of a surprise. I've get
it in pretty good, but not you know, I would
have thought we were wont in that one easy.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
So in the USA BT Pakiston, I.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Was, yeah, I was going to that week and go
is this one of these dodgy cricket situations? I'm like, okay, well,
you know, or maybe it is.

Speaker 6 (35:05):
I couldn't trust myself on a field if that was
an option. If some guy came to you with a
briefcases like one point five million dollars just to you know.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Bowl and no bowl or wide.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yeah, hell a, they're ever going to catch it. Well
tuned out the kid for a long time.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
You can get away with it, that's all right. Tell
you what I had over the weekend. I found an
interesting dilemma when you go watch your kids play sport.
When my daughter's played nitboy at the weekend. But you know,
of course there's a big squad of a team, so
they don't play the full game. But when they're off,
you're like, I'm just watching other kids, grind man, watching
girls play the ball. My daughter's not currently playing.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
I just had one of those realizations in.

Speaker 15 (35:42):
That moment she had the nibble courts watch other teams.
We're still her team playing, yeah, the whole team. But
I just wan of those moments You're like, daughter, here,
my daughter's here, yeah, watching other girls.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
And I went I took the cause of the Benni
concert and the kids we were like, go down the front,
were like cool and then they went off from me,
and I'm like, I'm just a grand man standing Bennie
and I was. She remember, like we saw bit. A
few weeks later, she came into work She's like, were
you at the concert?

Speaker 6 (36:11):
You were like taller than everyone else and you had
a sign saying go Binnie. Know you all said you
took a sign to the little mix. We went to a
little mix up the front with my daughters. Do you
want to mix and meddle with me?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
It was probably some pun.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Can you get Ben down your big grown man?

Speaker 1 (36:32):
I know you feel conscious of that too, A sign yeah,
