Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Jonoman Being podcast. Hey, that's us broad to you
by Hello Fresh the experts and tastes that kiwis loving.
And now it was just last week that we had,
you know, we had a laugh at the facts that
gen Z producer Grace replied all to an email that
we weren't even on actually to be honest.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
No, and we mocked her and uh, I was me
in particular on my Ivory tower looking down going look
at you, silly gen Z having a crack at us
boomers for our tech mishaps. And boy, tell you what
Taylor Swift Karma's her boyfriend is. Also turns out Karmen
is cheating on Taylor with Grace as well, because Karma

(00:38):
is your boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You've made that real confusing.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
CARMA's bet John.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, yeah, Grace's relationship. We haven't totally complicated Karma.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah. I found myself in a bit of a hole there.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Good notice. Yeah, I definitely didn't notice. So yesterday our
boss Harriet, we're doing like a hits so get together
conference book camp thing, and she was like, I need
some bit of information about each year you a little
kind of a secret about it because we're going to
play a little get to know each other game. So
this is everyone knows there's this secret stuff about yourself.
I've taken off the grid because everyone's going to be
able to guess who the person is later, and I'll

(01:16):
mate replies all to thirty people with us, you.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Know, thirty people. Yeah, and then we're like, oh god.
And then I thought and under forty five seconds, producer Taylor,
who takes great joy in this uh, fired back with
UH were to everyone.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I love the Maids.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
I was like, this sounds like a bit of a
Harriet only replied which.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Is our boss?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
And then Harriet to go back and go, oh, sorry,
I should have specified like it was pretty obvious.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah, that was assumed because I was on my phone
and I was like, why the hell is John JOHNO
send me dn MS it. They were like interesting facts
that no one knows about you, and I'm reading it
going I don't want to read this on my Monday afternoon,
and I was like, weir that he sent it to me.
And then I was like, hang on, there's thirty people

(02:04):
in this email.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
We're going to come up with new ones, which you know,
it's hard at this job.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Because we're spoken about everything that's right, any mildly interesting
fact about yourself you use on the radio. So and
I thought, oh, those are two ones that aren't well
known to fear.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
I was like, damn it, because I would have got those.
I was like, I would have got in for the wind.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, I know. It's one about being me, nineteen years old,
being wrongly accused of a crime stomping on cars. When
I was walking home from town. They took my they
put handcuffed me and took my boots for forensic testing,
and then dropped them off at home, my parents house
three weeks later. So it turns out it wasn't you.
Was trying to tell you three hours I was stealing cars,

(02:43):
not stomping on them. So that was all I got.
So trying to think of a new one. So apologies
to the priors for generations. They're going to live with
the shame. Just reply all shame.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's everyone and the radio industry too.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
So we're like, and then being being comes up with
a boomer. Then, honestly, within three minutes the drive show
Many and PJ there on the phone to me, sirah,
producers here here will just check you on the owner.
Jesus really unreveled quickly.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
The hats that jonaan Ben podcast M Meghan.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Okay, Meghan. People slide into your dms. They trust you,
they like you. They like to share your their dirty
laundry with you. Then you air out the laundry on
the radio. It's a full service. We get rid of
stain removals, folding. We do it all, don't we with
this dirty laundry? What's happening today? Mate?

Speaker 6 (03:31):
All right?

Speaker 3 (03:32):
So this one it's sticky. It says, Hey, your team,
I have a dear Meghan for you. I've found out
that my husband has sleept with one of his friends.
It was before we were together, but we hang out
all the time, and I've always felt like she didn't
like me much. I feel like she he should have
told me, and he's been keeping it a secret. Now

(03:54):
I don't want them hanging out, especially because she isn't
nice to me. It makes me think that she still
has feelings for him, and that's where her hostility is
coming from. What do I do now? Please?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I want to know who told her, like it feels
like so much time has pasted it. He probably hasn't
told her because well, to be honest, he wanted to
avoid all the conversation.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, someone in the friend group, some.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Little loose li it nosey Parker.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's tough though you can kind to see from his
point of view, like why he didn't want to say anything,
and then you'd probably leave it too long and then
you want to go, oh, I guess what. Yeah, by
the way, this happened, So it's.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I mean, like it does feel like you put it
in the nice to know category in terms of information.
It would have been nice to know. So like you say,
you would have ripped the plaster off early on, go,
hey we hang out with this person, might have smooched.
We might have smooched back in the day, but.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Hey, more than a smoke.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Our rhythm was off, our timing was all out of
killed her and it just was never going to work.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, and so maybe that's the reason.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
And she got a partner, this new the friend group girl.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
He doesn't say, he doesn't say, but she's saying. I
think a bigger problem is like you could be fine
if they were just friends and she was nice to you,
but she's being unkind to her. So that makes you
think that you know, she's still got feeling for the husband.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
So the question is does she ban him from seeing
her yeah or not? Or is she chilled them yeah
and quietly fester away over a number of years until
she's the.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Heads that Jonathan Ben podcast Meghan where.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
We get someone sliding into Megan's tms and we get
to your thoughts on what they should do with a
bit of a dilemma.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
So the issue is this person found out their husband
has slept with one of their friends, that someone they
hang out with a lot, but it was before they
were together. But she says she's always felt like she
didn't like her much, so there might be a bit
of beef there. And she said because she doesn't like
her much, she said, maybe she still has feelings for her.
What does she do now?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I always want to know how she found out this information.
Obviously there was something from the husband, third party trouble
making busybody who launched a grenade into the social battlegrounds
and making this poor lady feel very insecure about life. Yeah,
we know on there been your advice to ear.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
It's really hard, Like I kind of feel like the situation,
like you probably best that she didn't know like and
you know, like I understand why no one said anything,
but now it's out there, you kind of just have
to kind of you're in a relationship, you kind of
have to just kind of suck it up and move on. Really,
I mean, it does feel like it'd be quite a
big move to go, well, now you can't see each

(06:38):
other for something that you've only just discovered as happened,
but happened years ago.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
You can't do undo the bumping uglies, can you? The
uglies have been bumped? Denique, you're on not referring to
this lady as an ugly either. I really prepoud myself
in a bit of a trip up there. Sorry, Denique,
welcome your advice.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
So would be There's two things. Guys often don't mention
exes because for them, it's done. They have no relevance
in terms of any to them. So he's probably kept
her as a friend because their social group calls for that. However,
she should address the behavior with her husband so they

(07:20):
can tackle it in terms of what she does with
the friend. It's just they don't have one on one
time they go hang out because I bet someone's told
them because she's finding it really hard seeing them being
really happy and living the life she probably wanted. So
it's just fitful. So she should just go live her life,
be with her husband, and any behaviors that happen that

(07:43):
are inappropriate, they should just work at as a team.
The point of telling someone this information is to try
and get them to not be on the same page
and call the fight.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
How much do we have to pay you for this season?

Speaker 7 (08:00):
I'm not qualified, so I can't get paid for it.
But I'm just used to all the friends in their
kind of relationships. I've kind of seen when people mentioned
something far back in the past and it causes harm.
It's usually with an intention of causing you know, the
two parties not to talk for her to tell them

(08:22):
to not see her do all this, and it takes
away actually what needs to be addressed, which is the behavior.
So as for example, she doesn't say hi, or says
nasty things, or like if they're doing a friend thing, she.

Speaker 8 (08:36):
Tries to isolate.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
That's where the huby can come in and be like,
don't me and her team or no, that's not cool
if we're not going to do that, or she's not invited.
You know, we're not going to come.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Wait, is that Denique?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
That is.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Advice about?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Summed up?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I have really impressive. I appreciate you taking the time
to call this morning to they you have a great day.
It's got an anonymous schooler now wanting to chime in
on this. Ladies just discovered her husband did connect physically
with someone in the friend group, but years previous. She's
only found out about it. Now, what's your advice? It's

(09:15):
just me, that's yours. It's hard you call yourself anonymous,
could be any one of the anonymous people out there.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
Absolutely, I'm coming at it from the same point as
the last pooler, really like why you don't want to
make something big out of something that was of the past.
And ultimately it's the behavior exactly the behavior you want
to deal.

Speaker 8 (09:36):
With between the parties, because I mean, you want to be.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
Respectful to each other and a friendship. So ultimately have
one man until ready your husband, so you know you
can't change, but you can't change that's right.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
There's only someone on one person going home to him
every night. Take him for a good old date. Thank
you very much for your calls to there ago that's
one hundred percent and even the text and Facebook messages
as well, going what's in the past, in the past,
have you got an issue? Talk with him?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, or talk with the woman and be like, have
you got an issue with me?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Just out was she the one that brought anywhey? We
don't know who brought it up, as you.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Say, we don't know that she's being mean to her,
so just to have it up with her. It's kind
of having to do with you and your husband.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
The heads that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
On the podcast and you stay on the radio, we
talked about Jason Kelsey and Travis Kelsey. Travis kels in
a relationship with Tada Swift their podcast, and they talked
about washing their feet. It started with somebody saying, Jason
Kelsey looks like he doesn't wash his legs or feet. Yeah, obviously,
what kind of psycho path washes your feet? What do you? Travis?

(10:40):
Travis don't act like you.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Wash my feet every time.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
They're very passionate about it. We talked about on the radio,
didn't we We put it out there and we're like,
do you wash your feet or not? And I was
like a firm backer and the fact that I washed
my feet every time on the show Daily Habit. Just
out of Habit, he's down to the basement of the body. Yeah,
I just and you were like, do you not every time?
Because you have a good argument that obviously the soap
and water kind of washed us off.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Anyway, you're standing in the soapy water.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
You don't tend to your knees below.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Do you generally? Although I did wash my leak like
right down to my feet last night, I thought about
you guys in the shower, Well.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
This is what this is whatever proud to me yesterday
So I went to the gym, and you know when
in the afternoon, came out from the gym and had
a shower, and I went through the usual routine just
you know, I did wash myself in and then as
I got down to my feet and just out and
I was like, oh, there I go. I'm washing my feet.
I'm lifting my feet up. We'll washing my feet. I'm
doing what I said I would do just out of Habit.

(11:33):
So and my phone out there and I was like,
I'll take a photo of my feet to send to Megan.
In the shower, so I took a phot on my
feet down there was kind of soapy. Thought after my shower,
put the phone back on. There you have bathroom bitch.
Thought i'd send that to Megan. Go hah, I'm washing
my feet. See told you. Yeah, went to send the text,
put the photo and the message, and then when I
better have a look at the photo again, just to

(11:55):
get it to my feet in the shower, what I
realize is the it's quite mirror like reflected. And so
what i'd almost done and thank god I didn't send
it and the photo has been deleted before you have
to see it is it got quite a good upshot back.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Up straight up, Yeah, cut the undercarriage.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
My feet are there clean, and I'm getting straight up
towards him, like, oh God, thank god I didn't send that.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
You for cheer take.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I don't know why, Chip, but I was also I
was just like it's quite shiny down on the floor area.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
And then I was like, oh, that's like a mirror
looking up towards I was like, risky photo conditions and idiots. Yeah,
I know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
What I was thinking. To be honest, I've never sent
a photo like that before I never will again. So
I was like, oh, dear god, that's a canceable offense.
If I'd send that to work, I would.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Never have seen anything. I think I would have brought
it up.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
You know that he's getting if he's said to me
one d put it on our social media account exactly.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
So lucky I didn't send that to you. Very lucky.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm lucky you send.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
It to you that might not be here today.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
We're like, what does it look like from the angle?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
You don't usually it wasn't me. It's not good to
start off.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
That is not a flattering engl You can see it
from give you dou Chin going on and everything to.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Do what I was when you pinch the phono and
just sort.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
Of like the heads that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
The ratings. Have you ever caught an Newbery? They got
like a TEXTI obviously, but you get to rate the
driver and they get to rate you.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
All very passive aggressively as well. You don't have to
deal with the consequences of your rating.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
You're right. You kind of just go away and then go, oh,
well I give this person and hope I always give
them five stars. I don't think I've ever given an
uber driver anything less than five stars.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I have just once when he jumped to curb around
around about too fast.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Sometimes they do it.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I thought I was we were going to crash.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I didn't mean to jump. He jumped a curb, but
still he seemed like a good driver by stars.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well, they've done a news article on which mir in
New Zealand has the best uber racing. I don't know
how they found out about their racking.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
You have to go to the app.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, and then do they look can you look at
that private information?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Now before you name the mere? Do we know the mere?

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well, i'd say no.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Okay, so it's not one of it. It's not Wayne Brown.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Round's got a racing of not bad four point seven.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's not bad.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, so he and the ones listed he was the lowest.
But I think they haven't gone into every sort of meal.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
So that about Tory Farno for Wellington Mayor.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Not mentioned in the the ones in here in this
article Mayor Neil hold him from New Plymouth. It's perfect
five out of five stars.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Wow have you how many obs is he catching?

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well?

Speaker 1 (14:45):
He's happy to chat to the drivers. Doesn't tell him
what he does, but likes to have a bit of
a chat.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
So yeah, now, once you've got that rating, though it
becomes ad honor.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
You know, you've got five out of five stars on
you and now you were yelling at mean the other
night because it was on your your uber right.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I didn't want her to run it.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Like, get out of the over. I've got five stars.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
I was drunkenly wandering across the road, so warranted a
bit of a yelling at. But so you keep your
five star have a five star rating.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
The national average, if you're interested, is four point eight.
Eight is the national average below everage, and once you
get under five, you won't. I don't want to see
one of the precious I took the ever driver's shoes
accidentally one time.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
That was.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Didn't give you well, ye, because I was clearing out
stuff from the boot after like a really weird Warriors game.
I was just grabbing stuff from the boat. We put
on our jackets and stuff in the boot. And then
I came home and I was like, whose shoes are there?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Did you get.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
To contact? I was, geez, I'm taking the uber driver's shoes.
They were just set his boots either.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Did they get back to to contact?

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Take a bad yeah, anyway, But I just think that
would have hurt my rating just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
What is it? How many points do you lose for
a soiling?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
It's not good.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
There's definitely one or two points, isn't it for a soiling?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
What's it ring?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
At the moment, I don't.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Know why I'm four point.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Drove over the curb.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
I enjoy my life. I don't need to die in
an Ober.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Four point nine.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Okay, Wow, I'm four point eighty seven and I've done.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
You're chatty, though you're really you'd be punishing.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, I haven't taken a man shoes.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
He sits at the front seat as well with the
one in the back.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I sit in the back of mind my own business,
and I'm very polite.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, well, maybe a bit more engagement and Liz complaining
about drivers running over curbs.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
The heads that John and Ben podcast headlines.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Megan trolls the internet's for some mildly interesting headlines clickbait
headlines that we could be into, and then she forms
a consultation group and also concerts with consults with local
EWI and ends up with these three headlines.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'm going to go at magnet fisher because we've motts,
we've motts the industry, and I feel like it could
be interesting. I'm gonna go with that.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
One, all right.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
So this happened in New York. James Caine. He is
a keen magnet fisher. So he uses a powerful magnet
with the headphones. No, you don't need heaphones for this,
probably not.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
So he did it into Flushing Meadows, a lake and
Flushing Meadows.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
There were the US Openers tennis.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeahs, you're right, yeah, and apparently there's and there was
a nineteen thirty nine and nineteen sixty four world fear there.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Okay, it's a world fear. It's expos thing, I think maybe. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
So he chucked his magnet in the water and he
pulled up a safe, and inside the safe was a
bunch of Benjamin's one hundred dollar bills equating to one
hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Listen, I take everything back, and it's not quite mental
detecting though. Was it magnet fish? He must have a
really powerful mega looking up a safe.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, they are.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
But for some reason, we've just mocked the middle for
no reason.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Very rare.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, one hundred wow, one.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Hundred thousand dollars. So they were partly decomposed and stuck together.
But they have like a security ribbon on them that
indicates they are like recent so he doesn't know who
they belong to, but like finders keepers.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
So someone just chucked a safe in there. Yeah, for
safe keeping so to speak.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Is it the finals? Keepers loses weepers sort of a
life is what happens.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
But if the mob come for you.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh yeah, true, you'll be sleeping with the magnet fish.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I'm pretty sure that'll be the judges ruling, won't it. Yeah,
finders keeper losers. I'm sorry, you know the rules.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
You know it works.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Looking before about a safer that was fished up by
magnets in America and just out in New York and
one hundred thousand dollars of money was found inside the
safe but in the river the whole time.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Is it worth looking like a nerd Burger for years
until you.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Find something good America?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah? True, you did the currency exchange on that bad boy.
And yeah, I want to apologize to the metal detecting
community because when you mentioned the story. We went off
on some tangent mocking people who go up and down
the beach with those things that do with the headphones.
Completely different sport.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, it is different sports.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
So there was an unnecessary for magnet fishing more elite
than metal detecting.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I just never heard of it before. Magnet fishing. Yeah,
so the magnet seems like it's about the size of
a coffee cup and clearly very powerful. Yeah, if it's
pulling up safe and things from the bottom of rivers
and lakes. You're a friend who got on the game.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, but when like just ordered it online and then
it got sent to them in like a special case,
because obviously if you're posting it, it's like a powerful magnet,
so you have to get it in a special case.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
It does seem like one of those things like cheeze,
I'm going to get into magnet fishing, and you give
it half heartily, give it a go once, don't get
an your results and.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Did you get nothing? Tire?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Are they still magnet fishing?

Speaker 3 (21:11):
I don't believe so, No, wouldn't have thought so.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Brendan, good morning. Do you welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast
Brendan there you let's go. Great to have you on magnet.
Are you a magnet fisher? No, we're not a magnet fisher.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
No, okay, I found something to find something, because we're
wondering what the best thing is you found?

Speaker 8 (21:28):
What?

Speaker 1 (21:28):
What did you find?

Speaker 2 (21:30):
And we were selling a couch out of the house
and the people came to pick it up, and I
had a couple of friends around trying to move.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
The couch out.

Speaker 8 (21:39):
And as we moved the couch away from the wall,
we found that there were some adult toys and a
couple of and a couple of gloves, and of course.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
We had we had airbnd's the place for a bit.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
So it's the yeah, you're like, these aren't mine, but
they would look like these.

Speaker 9 (21:59):
Are not yeah, exactly, So that was pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
I do know the hygiene standards of the gloves being
used gloves, and we were trying, Yeah, we were just
trying to remove the stuff before the people buying the
couch it, you know, yeah, because they're gonna go, You're
gonna go not mine, buddy, not mine. Okay, whatever you're
tell you what, you know, you've reached the level when
you're checking gloves into the next day.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Definitely, Yeah, good on your brand.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Are they enough the place where did you put them?

Speaker 8 (22:34):
Sorry, where did you mean?

Speaker 5 (22:35):
The Council of Gloves the toys?

Speaker 2 (22:37):
What did you do with them? Actually, it's a good point.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I have no idea.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
I think we just chucked them out.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, recycling, recycling, you're gonna recycle that. We're going to
see you have some health's great day, what a great
thank you to Jack.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
A bit of soft plastics. All right, Caleb, welcome to
the show.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
Yeah, hey, good morning.

Speaker 10 (22:55):
How are you.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
We're doing well. The greatest thing you found?

Speaker 10 (23:00):
So I'm not I'm not allowed to discuss a location
as it's still under investigation, but yeah, basically I needed
that fishing and I found a pystol underwater.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Maybe part of some sort of investigation. That's why you
can't sort of say anything.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, wow, she said, would have been quite almost frightening
to pull that out of there wherever you were fishing.

Speaker 10 (23:30):
Yeah, it was. It was kind of frightening, Yeah, just
just because it was oh sound, And then.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
You have to like content again going like that, like
the adult toys. It's not my founder situation.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Caleb, Sorry, where did you did you have to drive
it to the police station? What happened?

Speaker 10 (23:54):
No, I had to wait for the police to get
you because I wasn't allowed to touch it.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Right.

Speaker 10 (24:01):
Yeah, I still waiting to see what is actually and
there's so they may as they may not.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I don't know when did you find it? How long
ago was this?

Speaker 11 (24:15):
Ah?

Speaker 10 (24:16):
About forty four months ago?

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Good Samaritan. Well there you go. That's some sorry from
some magnet fishing near Caleb cheers for the call. You're
gonna have a wonderful Tuesday.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
The he's that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Now, I know there's a lot of stuff going on
in the world. The world's very interesting place at the moment,
isn't there? And this might to some seem very trivial,
but to me it's the biggest thing that's happening in
my life. So you're doing a duvet up, okay, and
you get to the end of you've done the buttons
up on the end, on the ars end of the douvet. Okay,
this is textbook stuff. Done it. Then you get to

(24:50):
the end You're like, oh no, why is there a
spear slot? You all the buttons have gone and you've
missed a ligne.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
You haven't.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Now Sometimes I'm like, okay, no, that's fine, don't worry.
Just leave it. No one's going to notice. But I
can't unnotice it. And then see, you have to go
back methodically through each button. And it's always the it's
always the first button you blew out in the in
the instance. And then so yesterday, I'm doing this in
a fit of rage. I've never been able to change
a douva cover in a calm state.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, they're quite tricky.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Do you go the inside out method? But it's never
were anyway, that's a whole other conversation. And so I
rip off buttons by accident in a fit of rage.
Two buttons came off, and then I noticed the amount
of buttons I have ripped off things, shirts, do, ve covers, pants,
And then I just like, I just like place the

(25:45):
button on a desk or a window sill, or on
a jar.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
The button fairy.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, And I'm like, well, one day I'll get around
to sew those buttons on. And I have never once
sewed a button on. You just leave them, these orphaned
buttons scattered all around there. Have you got that at yours?

Speaker 12 (26:01):
No?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Well, no, I do I do sew them but on
because I finally, you know, you can't wear that shoot
again because there's a button missing. So get the thing
and sow it on.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
But I get the douvet rage. But why are you
raging taking off yeah my shirt?

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Just like you know when the pheromones kicking comes. I
should see when I take my stripper beds off.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
The best the best des are the ones with the
ones that just kind of connect together. Oh yeah, those
are the ones. Those are great.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
I've got one at the moment that's got a zip.
Why did they not all have a zip?

Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's a great vision.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I did it all got to the end and I
was like, are you kidding me? Pillow happens everywhere?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Why they got a ZIP system? I don't know, Well
they do. You found it. So I just want to
send a shout out to all those orphaned buttons scattered
around households in New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
People with jas. My mum's got just a jar full
of button, just random button. Yeah, and then if you
lose something, you look in the jar and try and
find something to match up. You'll fix your jeans with
a button that doesn't quite fat. But where seeing to
the buttons from over the year. Just haunk you Like,
she brobakes up to your house. Yeah, your mom's very
passionate as well. Take your ship so little it's walking

(27:10):
when she does it, but that's that's fine.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
She also collects the empty sushi soy sauce dispensers.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
The little fish things got hundreds of Well she actually
I was like, why are you doing this? And then
she's like, you know what she wrote me, Like about
six months later, she goes, I can put a little
bits of mouth washing them and take those around myself.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
For those who want the taste of a soy sauce
flavored mouth.

Speaker 12 (27:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah, it was good on you that Johan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
People. I think you're really better than news this morning.
A lot of kids not at school at the moment
because a lot of sickness is going around.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
You want actual stats, Well, yeah, to take it from
more than Yeah, I felt.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Like he was throwing stets. Yeah remember.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's fine. Yeah, yeah, you backed me up.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, I don't feel like I don't know if it's
just this year more than other years. You know, a
couple of years ago we were only worried about one
virun Yeah, you know now it feels like there's multiple
hurricane of disease swirling around tornado every time you walk
into a room. Isn't it that it happens in winter?

Speaker 1 (28:17):
And number probably all our immune systems are not that
great because we were protected for all that time.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
When it become softer, haven't we Yeah, more afecated And
we just mentioned this after the show us today. Is
there anyone listening who has never taken a sick day?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Yeah, because before COVID, imagine there would have been a
lot more than maybe now, because before it was a
badge of honor to keep battling on.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Just a strokes this morning, mate, But I'm still here.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, so they can be sick, doesn't even taken a
sick day?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, well probably that's going to be the case.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
That's a nice supermmunity exactly, wonderful immune systems. So but
the problem, You're right, once you've gone this far not
having a sick day, you've got to continue that clean
track record. So I have the hat it's been you
from foot it said, the bar has been set too high.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh maybe too high.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, there's no one listening who's never taken a sick.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Day or even turned up with those sick that's whatsoever.
If you do, you know you're battling on through you know,
coughs and colds and spread it round to everyone.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Maybe you found the secret to eternal health. Yeah, I
eight hundred the hats. We're going to check this out there.
All the phones are just ringing down. They stopped.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
I realize we've moved on from limp free.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Hat no sick days. That's what we wanted in the meantime.

Speaker 13 (29:34):
As I dropped my ket a dick here, sadly, he
started to caughter. Teacher quickly came and running as I
just tried to feet off, gotta take come home with me,
and I know this will not be fun.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
There's my diseases here.

Speaker 13 (29:48):
Then Friday night in Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Now I'm starting to sniff.

Speaker 11 (29:52):
Soon as I walked in through the door, went through
a box of tissues. Now they're piling on the floor,
and it's old and shitty weather, and I'm sick of
all this rain. There's COVID everywhere, or even COVID.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
On the plane, and my nose is running. It's the
season of the sick, and my throat is so rub
my chest down with some things, and I've got man flu,
so I just like to play the victim parasat the
mal temperature, checking my rectum.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
And I'll sleep that night little sweaty.

Speaker 11 (30:27):
With a fever and my daughter's coughing.

Speaker 13 (30:30):
But I don't think I believe in my nose looks
like Rudolph every time I blew and I used all
my hand.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
You will leave with this damn flu.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
The heads that Jonoan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Bttle of one to now are the weather getting a
lot colder. It's meant to get a bit more rubbers
slater in the week. And wanted to know has anyone
never had a set day or the least amount of sectays?

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Some really proud people texting and calling the radio station
this morning, Diane.

Speaker 7 (30:58):
Yep, that's me.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
You never had a sick day.

Speaker 9 (31:02):
So I had twelve years unbroken attendance at school, at school.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
All through school. You didn't. Wow? What a great a student?

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Never took a day of school?

Speaker 8 (31:13):
Probably oh not, but wow.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
I mean I don't think many people, especially at school,
would would have the same record.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
No, some schools they do award, don't they unbroken attendance?
Did you get the certificate the legendary certificate at the
every end of year's assembly there, Diane.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
I absolutely did.

Speaker 9 (31:30):
Yeah, so I got to about eight years without having
a single day off, and then it became a bit
of a challenge because I couldn't break my record after
eight years. So yeah, there was I remember a time
I had to go to school and sit in the
office until ten o'clock because you had to be there
till ten to be marked present.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
And then I went home and was sick as a dog,
and I was just trying to think, how many people
did you infect over that wonderful twelve year Yes, good
on your Diane. There you go twelve years unbroken attendance
at school. Tracy, good morning to you.

Speaker 12 (32:07):

We briefed on her everything because she really wanted the
day off to sick, but no, she didn't get that either.

Speaker 2 (32:26):

She's probably still she's probably still on bed. She's got
her day off today, but she's got She's even got
about three month holidays on to her. And I've actually
told her that she's going to pay a holiday. She's
only twenty two and she's she just works, she works,
and she just keeps working. And she loved her job.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Again. I still don't know who she is to you,
but she sounds she sounds incredible.

She is, she's I'm very very proud of you.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I would be too, mystery woman, this is your daughter,

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Soldiering on with cardrol. That was a good back in
the day. Couldn't do that now take a day off,
right covid But so.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Right, we called Danielle. You're on. Never had a sick day, Danielle.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
Yeah. So I had a job last year in March
until March this year, I had one firday and that
was really just because I work out and befother going
to work that day, So I caught up.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Are you like constantly healthy?

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (33:36):
I just hardly ever get suck. Only time I really
get stuck if I eat something and then I have
a bit of a funny tummy. But I will just
carry on, what.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
About colts and stuff?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
You just need to get them.

Speaker 8 (33:47):
Cola this year and it hit me terribly. Right, So
I had a Friday and a Monday off and then
I went back to work on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Oh good on. You stick into that seven day to
stand down period.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Of anymore, though, just do what you wanted about. I
think five days they recommend even with mild symptoms.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Just go back, Kimbo, Kim's with us. You've never had
a sick day, Kim heaven yet know how many years
you've been working.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
I've been working for for many years.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
But just in this position a year and a half days,
that is impressive.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Yeah, and why are you not ill?

Speaker 7 (34:31):
No touch?

Speaker 6 (34:32):
What haven't been for a while?

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Healthy people are amazing immunity.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
That's pretty incredible. We didn't think we find anyone whe
there we are. We found a few with amazing immune
systems or very good lives.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
That John and Ben podcast and you said you did
something use today and would be very proud of you,
I hope.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
So this is a week proud of.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
You every day. Can we just front for that being
there was a good time for us to come and right.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, this is something I've mentioned to
you did. We talk about it on the radio a
couple of months ago. I've never I don't do much
by myself, but I've never eaten a meal out by
myself because I kind of see it as like a
social thing and I get a bit awkward. I've never

(35:21):
been to the movies by myself. But I found that I.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Had had crying by yourself in the car park of
a burger King eating on a Tuesday morning after nine heinekens. Yeah, no,
I'm fine, thanks.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
So I found myself. I was early for an appointment,
like two hours early, and instead of going home was
out of the way. I was like, I'm actually going
to go to a cafe and I'm going to do
some work by myself. I'm going to do it.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
So I went and.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Ordered some food, ate some food by myself and sat
there with my laptop.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Right, it's good. The laptop was the important utensil there.
Otherwise is my comfort? Yeah, yet, like a lonely tinder
data waiting for someone to turn up, don't you. Yeah.
Everyone's like, oh, that's said if you don't have any
other appliances with you.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, right, it's quite I find it it's quite good
productivity because you kind of got this so much done.
You're at home, You're liked to do the washing or
whatever it is. It none, I'm not going into the
can I help with the dishes of the cafe. I'm
not helping them.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
You're like, what can I eat? I'm like, oh, I
can't eat anything more because I need to pay for it.
So you get given your food, you sit there and
you just have to do your work.

Speaker 12 (36:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
I got so much done and it was quiet, there
was no kids around me. But then here's my question.
I was there probably almost two hours.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, I wanted that in the weekend because, as I said,
I waited outside for my daughter and their friends to
go to the movie, and I said it in a cafe,
had a hot drink. I was there for a good
hour forty fifty. I too, I bought a I went
a gilt purchase. No, I was just tethering. But I
like halfway through, I was like, old, jeez, a bit
of buy something. I'm just sitting here.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Using these facilities.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Office about that, right, Because there's a journalist in the
news today who was actually banned from a bunch of
cafes for doing this, but they did buy things, so
I don't know, like, what's the rules. Does it depend
on how long you're there? Do you need to buy
more or everything?

Speaker 2 (37:14):
How many from behind the counter just to keep up?

Speaker 3 (37:18):
But also like there was no one. There was only
a few people there, so I forget it would be fine.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Everyone Also, even working inside the cafe, knows exactly what
you're up to. Just because you've squeezed backer bloody cheeky soil,
it doesn't give you nine hours of office space.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yeah. I was like, I'm not even using their Wi fi.
They didn't have Wi fi.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Business meetings in there. High people fire people.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
When you're at the coffee club or something. And this
is where it goes bad. Someone who knew you came
up and started interrupting your work. You don't like, I.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
Don't mind chatting to people, but that's personally that good
had a seat and then had a big yew And
then but because I was already there and I wasn't
leaving because my kids were coming back, I was like, well,
I can't go. Hay, great to meet you whatever. So
I was like it's all on them to leave, and
they were like thirty. Then it's deep into a compo
in that and then they went away and then I
was still there. They came back twenty minutes late ago,
just one more thing sat down. I mean, we had

(38:09):
a good convo, but I was like, it's all on
them then that situation.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
You can't escape run off the Hollywood Bakery or BB's
or something. Oh there it goes to shout out to
all the fine cafes who are opened the door and you're.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
Off of spaces. That John and Ben podcast there this once.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
A week things you can say in the bedroom, and
today it's doing your texes.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Oh well, I'll tell you nothing more attractive than balancing
a spreadsheet and paying your way. Is it the end
of the financial years?

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, it's around about this time.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
So who does do you? Because you run your own business?
So trader who looks forel.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Those accountant to do a lot of that. You know,
my wife's actually very good and a lot of that stuff,
but obviously getting the accountant to chick it all off
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
That email from the accountant.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
I found myself in a huge tax hole a few
years ago. Opened the thousands and thousands of dollars because
I'd tacked the wrong buddy tax bracket for a secondary
job I had, And for years they just let you
get away with it, and one day they're like, hey, buddy,
you asked fourteen thousand dollars, didn't they have fourteen thousand dollars?
Who'd brow it from my father in law?

Speaker 3 (39:19):
Don't I let you pay it off?

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Yeah, they can let you pay it off as well.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yeah, well I brought it from my father unnecessarily, so
it seems anyway. These are things you can say in
the bedroom and so while doing your Texas kick it off.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Megan, Wow, that's a big return.

Speaker 10 (39:37):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
You can say the bedroom and doing your Texas. It's
gonna take me months to recover from this.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
This is this is a lot harder than I thought
it would be.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Oh that was one of them. Okay, thanks for teaching
me to do that. It'd be so much easier to
finish now.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Thanks, you can say the bedroom and doing your taxes.
I would like to withdraw, Please.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Do I do I have to pay controlled support?

Speaker 3 (40:04):
I can't believe I've got to pay that much of
the stone round.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Oh man, I'm getting completely screwed here.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
I'm going to need the receipt things.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
