Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Gentleman Being podcast. Hey that's us, brought to you
by Hello Fresh. The Experts and Tastes that kiwis last
about twenty hours worth of rain coming the North Island's
way see from the South Island. Enjoy that. Now. I
just learned something from you, Megan and producer Taylor this
morning about Hollywood's rodent men rattish good looks as a
(00:20):
new thing, right.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yes, so this is like a trend that was going
around a while ago as well, where you either resemble
a rat or a frog, right, And now they're taking
on a whole new meaning where the rattish men are like,
it's a good looking man, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So it's not your traditional Hollywood heart throbs like, no,
it's a Brad Pert, Jason MoMA them. They're good looking guys.
But you're saying people with more rat like qualities are
now like oh there, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Because we actually we said John I was a frog, right,
but you are a rat.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't well, I'm not going to say I'm good
looking or anything, but I do have a lot of
rat like qualities.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I would have thought, like, I don't know, I didn't
want to the rat. I kind of wanted to be
the frog.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, it's a different It seems like a compliment though,
you know, because it wouldn't normally be a complimble.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I was just looking up Jason Moore because you see
them too. I think he's he's a rat.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
It's definitely a rat.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
So maybe it is. I got a compliment for me.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I think it's got to do like if you picture
a rat's face like they have kind of like fine frog,
a bit more rounder, gotcha.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I think a rat face would be like a more
chiseled one.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah right, okay, so we're looking at according to this
article I'm reading now because I've gone deep into like
Blick one A two drama, Trevis Parker, the Reckons, like
the guy who was Wonker Timothy Yes, yeah he's there
as well, the guy from the Beer that Cooking show
as well.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
You know, Jeremy Allen's got.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah it's not a cooking I mean it's a drama cooking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rat.
They're all rats and good looking rats apparently. So this
is the thing. Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
So if you want to know if you're good looking,
to stare in the mirror and say you're.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Right or from we were calling you a race today
been Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm little. We're out to you though. You know some
iconic rats throughout the world. Are we looking at them
differently now or not?
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Well?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I think that yeah, I think they're datable now.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
The hits that Jona wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Speaking of America, We're going to live to New York.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Live from New Zealand to New York City.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
Idios done, he is done. One is like seen Isle
and one's it's all the like.
Speaker 9 (02:30):
Forty and fift year old.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
It's Nicole and New York.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Nicole. She's a New York correspondent. She does a radio
show and a mini podcasts over and there in New York,
and she joins us every week to tell us the
hot goss out of New York came and the cole has.
Speaker 8 (02:47):
Gone, Hey, it's good to be back, guys.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Nice to talk to you. That's what you had. A
former president arrested over there this week as the president's
son was it is it you next week? Who's getting
arrested next?
Speaker 9 (02:58):
I mean, I'm surprised at this point in my life
that I've never been arrested. I mean, the way that
I live my college years, I'm very shocked that I
never got in serious trouble.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Very lucky. I'm knocking on wood right now.
Speaker 10 (03:07):
Yeah, sometimes you do look back at your late teens
early twenties and you're like, how did I make it through?
Speaker 8 (03:12):
It's unbelievable, Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.
Speaker 10 (03:17):
He's had a bit of a rough history with drug
abuse and addiction, and hey lied about having a cocaine
addiction to get a gun.
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
You know, the thing is is, I feel like there's
drug addiction, right, and there's like messing around drugs, and
then there's crack.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
It's just like they're two different groups.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
I just feel like crack Like every president has had
their family be in scandals and had some sort of
you know, drama going on in the family, but you
rarely hear about someone of the presidential's families.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
That's addicted to crack. Crack. It's just it's on a
whole other level.
Speaker 9 (03:51):
I don't think anybody has the patience or the time
or is able to be like it's no big deal, Yeah,
just a little bit of marijuana.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
So we're confused by the charges.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So he lied about his drug use, but then he
was trying to get a firearm illegally.
Speaker 8 (04:07):
You know, your guess is as good as mine.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
We're all actually quite just as confused as you are.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
Across the world.
Speaker 9 (04:13):
Nobody really knows because we're sort of fed a bunch
of different stories, and on social media you hear from
different sides what everybody's saying. But all I know is
that he's done crack, and I just don't feel like
that's a great thing.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, because it feels like he lied. From what I
understand is that like when the doctor sees how many
drinks do you have? Awaken you like, oh why Yeah?
Is that like one of those situations or is it
a bit more?
Speaker 9 (04:34):
I think so? And everybody lies on those, right, there's
no way like like if you actually were honest, it'd
be like yeah, like I don't know, fifty a week, Like,
I mean, I'm finding closer to that, but I don't know.
It's like again, yeah, it's like the crack and the hookers,
and like there's a whole rap sheet of stuff that
I mean, half of it we probably don't even know about.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
Again, as soon as you hear crack, let's just move along. Yeah,
I mean, I just this is this is no good
every time I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Does like, how much crack have you had this week?
I'm always pretty honest, four or five times this week?
Speaker 9 (05:06):
We one time at once today and then I remember
one of the chicks that he was like hooking up
with or sleeping with or having an affair with, said
something like you would wake up and use crack. So
there's crack, and then there's the morning crack users. Again,
that's not gez.
Speaker 10 (05:20):
Actually, when you look into President Biden's history, He's hit
a lot of trauma in his life, isn't he Because
his first wife and his baby died in a car crash.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
And again, We've had so many presidents in US history
that I've had. I mean, you look at JFK, like,
think of all of the trauma that those families have had,
and all the scandals and all the secrets.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
I mean again, I don't think any of us.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
Will ever know half of the true stories of most
of those families.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
What I want to ask you, actually, because I'm I
give feed all these videos and I don't know for
their like edots of Joe Biden acting dottery and old
on stage and have to be sort of feed lines.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Is that actually what's Hitna? These just terrible jemy It.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Is, Yes, yes, that's exactly what somebody listen.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
I mean, I think any president is going to have
like they'll have somebody help write things for them, and
when they get up, they have, you know, they're prepared
with their speech or whatever they're going to say to
the country or to whoever's at whatever meeting or thing,
and they're gonna have it in a teleprompter. But I
don't even think that he knows what he's reading. I
don't think anybody preps him before. I think they're saying
it in his ear, and then even when it's in
(06:26):
front of him, he can barely make sense of it.
I mean, my husband, his father whom I adored so much,
actually passed away from Alzheimer's. And my husband even says,
like jokes like he literally is like having my dad
lead the country when he at Alzheimer's.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
It's it's scary. I mean, the man is senile, and
I I love him.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
But he's not somebody who should be, you know, should
be in charge of our country.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
But then I do feel sorry for you guys, because
the other option.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
Is, yeah that yes, we've got a sociopath and somebody
who's see now, they're both terrible options.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Let me get get a job.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
He'll certainly have a little bit more energy. And thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So much for your tom. I really love catching up
with you. It's a really fun thing to do every weekend.
We'll hopefully we'll do it again next week.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
Absolutely the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Now you were talking about Glenn Powell actor. He was
in the new version of Top Gun.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And then the rom com Anyone But You with Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Absolute babe.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
He's done a podcast and it is with Jake Shane.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
It's called Therapists. But after he did the podcast, he
said to come out and clarify something, not apologize. But
he's a little bit embarrassed because he told this story.
Do you want me to tell you the story as
he told it, and then I'll give you the reason
why he's had to come back later. Okay, So the
story is a friend of his little sister went on
(07:54):
a date with a guy who is very charming and
this is a little bit grim to I'll just preface this.
And she went back to his apartment and when she
got in there, straight away she was like, I shouldn't
have come here, shouldn't have come here? Feel a bit weird.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
He offered to give her a massage and she was
like so he put some lotion on her, and she
was like, when.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You get a massage and things are weird that you
want to leave.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Right, you'd be happy to know that.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
In this story, the woman was like, Okay, I'm going
to go listen for me and he was like, no, stay,
but she ended up leaving. So the next day her
skin was itchy and weird, and so she went to
the doctor and that's when the doctor was like, what
where have you been? Because you have this formaldehyde on
your like embalming fluid on your body. Really, where have
(08:42):
you been? Who put this on you? We need details
and we need to give it to the police. So
they went to this guy's house and that's when they
found several bodies.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So this is the story that gleamed I.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Tell that story of the podcast. So why is it
getting a little bit of grief?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
So he told it as his little sister's friend. The
thing is, as we were hearing this story, producer Grace
and I were both like, I've heard this story before,
But how could I could I hold if it was
Glen Powell's sister's friend. So this is an old urban
legend that's been retold in different forms for years and
different locations.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's been told all of this a lot, like he
might have heard it from someone who said it was
his sister's friend.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, so he has come out and he said, props
to my little sister's friend who told this dating story.
I've been telling this for years. I'm pushing my whole
life now. False alarm back, grubs are back. But he's
told this urban legion and everyone's like, I've heard this
so many times, Glenn, it's not a news story.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Freaky story. If it is, I don't know where the
hits that.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Now producer Taylor, you got a little bit upset with
us the other day. We particularly John O. We all
went John I doing that because we were filming something
and it required an umbrella not to be open inside.
But then he decided to open.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It, open it and then wave it around, try and
get me to stand under it and put it over.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I think you, megan so good, look at that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I think it's fine.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I was like, what's wrong, because you were running away.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
From Yeah, that's like the ultimate bad luck. That's like
years of bad luck.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So you're quite a believer in the sort of Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, so like I would never walk under a ladder
when it's up, I always have to touch a plane before
I get on.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I've started doing that because a friend would do it
as well. I'm like, I'm there as well. That's the thing.
I feel like I forgot the opportunity to do it,
then I might as well try and do it or
avoid it because.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Well, yeah, why do you guys put that on me? Now?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
You need to just touch the prane, cross the plane.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, what's like blessing the plane and you just wait
till the next plane you catch, if God forbid, you
don't touch it.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
And something happening like plane on my mind.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
That was maybe maybe, yeah, didn't pet the plane.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You're in touch with that sort of thing.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
When I drive past the graveyard, I'll do the sign
of the cross if there's a rainbow and make a wish.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
You know, all these little things. It's extt stick. Actually,
it takes up a lot of you.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Are you superstitious? Not really?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Because I was waving the umbrella to be fear.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I almost took out one of the lights in here,
and I was like, that's instant calmer, But I.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Don't really no, I'll stand on cracks.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah. It was someone in the office the other day.
They were walking quite slowly and we're like you okay,
and they were like, hey, I don't like to walk
on cracks. Yeah, and so they were just morn.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
I would never step in between two pavements.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I get that. When my parents went overseas, they did it.
But when they were together back in the day, they
did a big o and they carried around for some reason,
like a cork, like a wine cork with's a couple
of coins, like this was a good luck thing, and
then they gave it to me. And when my wife
and I were going overseas, now I carry this one,
the thing I just got in my bag. I carry
it around. I carried my bag and I'm like, well,
I can't throw it out. But at the same time,
(11:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
But I don't like to put things like that on
myself because.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I've got this for life now over my bag, Like
what's this cork with a couple of coins, and what happens?
I know, so maybe I am.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Super Yeah, I think you definitely are.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, so we want to know this morning and the hat,

Maybe you've got something that's lucky that you always do,
a lucky peri underwear or something kind.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Of Even Marcella, your husband who's a warrior, he has
the same thing. Is that, like superstition is the same
thing as dinner a lot.

of hotel or motel whatever it is, as we leave,
she always out loud, thanks for having us room. It's
like now, the kids and I we all thank if
someone sees us in the corridor, like this is a
weird family. But I don't know why and while we

if it's with a mate, it's good luck. I've got
a lucky hoodie that I always wear. And this one
from a nurse, which I think I've heard before. I
never use the word that means the opposite of busy,
beginning with a queue and eating and tea, so they
never say it's quiet.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh, because then we'll busy. Okay, let's one more quick
one before we go.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Good morning, Rebecca. Yes, Hi, what's your superstition?
Speaker 13 (16:05):
My superstition is whenever something happens to you three times
really bad, and one day I go buy a.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
Lot of tickets.
Speaker 13 (16:11):
Yeah, ah, I seem to win something.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh really, so three bad things we'll get. Did you
win the seven mill the other night or one of
those people?
Speaker 13 (16:20):
Wow, I haven't had any bad stuff happened to me
in three days in the same day in a long time,
so I think.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
My mum's the opposite. Two good things will happen, and
she's like, go and buy a lot of ticket. Oh really,
it'll be the third you're the opposite.
Speaker 13 (16:34):
But the last time for me, I won seventy bucks.
And it's when my son broke as big and cows broke,
window broke, and our water broke, our water mains pipe broke.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And it's actually worked.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Okay, three bad things go buy a lot of ticket.
That's great. We're gonna check you in the draw for
your rental mortgage paid for time twelve months.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
The hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
My daughter, you know, love both. My daughter's very proud
of my daughters.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
But one of the things are one of them you're
particularly proud.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, one of the things are really no, I'm proud
of both. But one of the things I really admire
about seeing her as the oldest one, she just she's
just will give things to go. She's she's like, I'll
give it a go. School talent show. She's like, I'm
going to give it a go with my friend.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
That's very admirable for like a young person high school
is so self conscious and so like worried what people
will say.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I mean, they were a little bit like because they
looked to my garage here and a friend and you know,
we've got all those props and costumes, and they were like, oh,
they found these inflatable monsters inc. You know from the
cartoon costumes. I've got those in there. And they're like,
we can we're out. We can do like a TikTok
mash up dance with it. We're a lot funny. And
they were like, and to be honest, no one w't
even know it's us. Yeah, that'd be great. So they
said to the people, the organizers yesterday, they were like,
(17:41):
just say we're the monsters, you know, just in case
things go bad they can say, oh, was it us?
And then they didn't realize when they walked out there
it went on the big screen. See you. The boys
a full name as well before they started, and they
announced it like okay, here we go. But Brownie went, well,
we went well. It was a lot of fun. So
I was like, good on them. If we get out
there and doing it, tell show. I was a lot
more guts than I would I would have at that age.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You never went in a talent show.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I got made to do an individual dance. We all
had to do them at I know, and I can't dance.
I've told the story a lot before, but I had
a Michael Jackson masket home, same theory. Put that on,
no one will know who it is nowadays, I probably
wouldn't have a Michael Jackson basket home. And I decided
I'd let some fireworks off in the gym because Michael
Jackson has five you know rasmetaires fireworks. And then of
course the gym floors like wooden started burning the floor
(18:27):
and I got a week special special detention, had to
come back and like, yeah, so it wasn't wasn't my
finest moment. I know. I was like yeah. Halfway through
as I let the second fireworks, I was doing a
lot to thriller. I could hear the teacher go nobod no.
I was like, what, oh, yeah, okay, yes, do you
ever get involved in shows? I did?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I did the Spice Girl, but like it wasn't a
talent so I don't know why we did it. But
me and like my friends we all dressed up as
the Spice Girls and did I guess we did the
stop right now dance.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I mean it's not hard. We love said, we just wanted.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
To dress up as a spice skills. Funnily enough, we
didn't like place which one were you I was Jerry
because I had the two blonde streaks at the front
of my head. Oh god, that I did myself.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
It's the johnaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Lifeline is a wonderful New Zealand organization that's been around
for sixty years this year, which is incredible and they
do need your help more than here. But to tell
us more about it, we've got Lisa from Lifeline joining us.
Great to have you on.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
How are you today?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
We're doing well, lovely to talk to you. Yeah, sixty
years for Lifeline. That's incredible, that's been around that long.
But at the same time it's you know, you almost
don't want it to be around and don't want people
to need it.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Well, me, sixty years is a huge achievement. There's definitely
something we're very proud of and obviously we'd like to
continue to offer the general public another sixty years if
we can. There's clearly a need for our service and
we'd like to keep offering it and had a sustainable
service moving forward.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Huge a huge amount of need, as you say, you know,
eight thousand calls per month, twenty thousand texts per month. Yeah,
it feels like the pressure is on so many people
and it's a place that people turn to.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
For help, and we receive a mixture of calls from
everyday in New Zealand. Theer's but a whole lot of
things somewhere about isolation and loneliness, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression
and suicide. Unfortunately, on average we support around seventeen people
per day. Wow, rich should stuff harmond suicide?
Speaker 10 (20:30):
That is those of frightening statistics and so what do
what are you needing?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You're needing some cash? Money?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Are we We're needing some money. It's a free service nationwide,
but it costs a lifeline on average about thirty six
dollars a call, so overall it costs pc in about
three point seven eight million to run. We want to
be a sustainable service moving forward that we need We
need some funding.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Is the government funded in any way?
Speaker 6 (20:56):
No, we haven't been the government funded for the service
since twenty six and we would love some.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
It feels like it feels like a service that should
be funded by the state.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Well, we receive a lot of donations from the community,
which is really fantastic and keeps us going, but any
kind of form of funding that we could receive would
be extremely grateful for I'm happy to talk to anybody
who wants to give us a call and talk about funding.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
So you've launched an appeal at the moment for Lifeline.
How can people help out If they're listening right now
and they'd love to give some money to help out,
a wonderful course.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
They can go to a Lifeline website. We've got a
Lifeline sixties website on it as a denate button. Also,
we've got some merchandise like limited Lifeline sixties T shirts
and they can call in. They can contact their fundraising
team through Lifeline. So there are a variety of ways
that you can help support us.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Have you found you know, I guess with COVID, you know,
many businesses and people were hard with that and everything
around that. Now the cost of living, it feels like
things aren't that great out there at the moment.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
No. One of the things that we've noticed is that
we've had an increase in calls. So a lot of
services at the moment in the community with mental health
services are overloaded. We're getting a lot more calls coming
in with what's going on in our society at the moment,
and we would like to have to meet those needs.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
So the theory behind it, obviously you're talking to someone
in case is knowing that people can talk to. But
I also imagine it's probably quite a therapeutic talking to
a complete stranger.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Yes. And one of the things that the councilors are
very skilled at is they don't know when they say,
you know, good morning Lifeline, they don't know what the
nature of the call is going to be, and so
they're highly trained to talk to anybody about any any issues.
And we always think that it's best to talk about
issues when you're a little bit smaller rather than when
they get to the beg end. I'll be happy to
help with that.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
She to tell you what, Lisa, I've got these boody
parking tickets piling up.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Is there something they cover off on Lifeline?
Speaker 6 (22:53):
I can give you No. Eight, one hundred numbers for that.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Council great cool, Thank you, you're healthy well sixty years.
Are well done on helping out so many thousands of
New Zealanders over those sixty years and being a great
thing for people to call in times of need. So
thank you so much for your time and we wish
you all the best with hopefully raising a lot of
money so you can continue brilliant.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Thank you so much, good luck for your party Tickets's.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
The johnaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's a party in Mystery Creek and Hamilton over the
next couple of days. We like to call it farmer Geddon,
where a whole lot of people from around the country
descend on Mystery Creek and Hamilton for Field Days, which
started yesterday Ghost of Saturday. I can't believe you've never
been there.

We have to next year. We need to go along.
We've got conference this week, so we can't. We can't
hit along. Don't wear clean gum boots. That was our
down care. John and I bought that because we need
to fit on. So we bought gum boots and we
hadn't worn we hadn't pre worn them in and you
really stand out there.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I once wore like a brand new Swanee to the
Wild Foods Fest. We've got a lot of ronie. Everyone
could tell that it was brand new, had not been worn.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Which I had dry cleaned the swan dry. Yeah, like
I hadn't got a lot of grief. Yeah, yeah, He's
like put it through the dry cleaner.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
It's like the only way you can clean those is
out there and the buddy hail and then and the
fresh air in Southland or something. So because a few
days is on, we wanted to do something called milking
it this morning. See if we can get anybody on one
hundred the hats right now that is actually you know,
working this morning milk and cows.

the town.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Best tasting coffee you'll get, Okay.

I mean you could probably put your lips round a
bit of a bit weird, but it'll give you. Chris,

Why is there only so many names? Is to Megan?
So that and always the hell out of me?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I'm sure people can understand this. People. I want to
put more faith in the radio listening audience. They can
comprehend it. Sometimes people have the same name.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
There's one of the text machine at the similar vein
here dresser of mine. She was called Julie and she married,
her last name became Wooly, Julie Wooly.

Joyce voices. It's not her last name, but it just
rolls together quite well.

I suppose when you get leaders it's probably your full name, right,

The hits that John wan beIN podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
An injury that I'm still sporting almost a week later,
because I have a one year old and a three
year old and I'm very lucky.

she was screaming like bloody murder, and I was like,
oh my.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
God, she s bloody murder.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
It was like a screw. It wasn't a cry. I
was like, what is happening?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
So she woke me up from a deep sleep, and
instinctively I just got out of bed and ran. And
usually I can get around in the dark in my house.
I'm so used to it now I know where everything is.
But I hid butted the doorframe.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
So I was running towards the door.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
There was a door open, and the door was open.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Just completely misjudged it because I was a bit delirious
and I hid butted it so like I ricocheted off
it and started groaning and writhing on the bed.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Mys like, who do I go to?
Speaker 8 (36:33):
Now?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Do I go to her?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Or do I go to you?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Do? I would have loved him to a film there?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine what it would have looked like.
But her, it's still I can still feel exactly where.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
It wasn't a major bump there or anything.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I do have a bump.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
You can't say I almost wanted a bruise because it
hurts so much. I wanted you to be some physical
evidence of something.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
But so yeah, you quite just orientated too when you
wake up in the night apparently like sometimes that my
wife will wake me up, but I'm not. I don't remember,
you know, those sorts of things. One time she was
like someone downstairs, and I was like, yeah, probably that's
what I said. She's think you made her going. She's
a lot braver than me. And other times I do
pretend to that. I'm like, you know, but I did
(37:19):
wake up. One time was with someone on there was
someone I felt like someone was walking on the roof
and it wasn't Christmas time, and Santa or anything like that,
and it turned out there was someone on the run
from the cops. But I was like trying to wake
my wife up that that stage going. I think someone's
walking on the roof and she was like, what what
am I wake your wife up to help me. I
don't know what to do and I wanted to do.
(37:40):
And then next day apparently yeah, we talked to the
neighbor and they're like, yeah, they made a run for it.
They jumped over your roof. And I was like, oh,
there was someone on yeah, because the.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
One time I was in christ Church and I heard
someone on the roof and I was so terrified.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
I rang the police and it was a possom.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Do they come do they come out?
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Chicken out that Johnaan Ben popca the code.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Now we've been debating Travis kelcey relationship with Taylor Swift. Now,
Meghan's starting to feel like there's some red flags going on,
right Meghan, So yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
They're giving me rubbert.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
I just feel like Taylor Swift, She's kissed a lot
of frogs and so I'm just looking out for her.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
I feel like there's been a couple of red flags
with Travis kelce.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
We feel she's speaking a bit too hard on Trevis
Kelsey is a bit of a lamb. At the same time,
he speaks well on his podcast.
Speaker 9 (38:24):
What are your thoughts on Trevis Kelcey, don't talk bad
about my man. I'm like obsessed with him. And yes,
she has kissed a lot of frogs. I'm interested to
know what the red flags that are, like kind of
alerting you are, because I feel like she's never dated
someone like this. It's always been some like super arty,
farty actor, someone who's like this, like seriously like deep,
(38:48):
you know, musician.
Speaker 8 (38:49):
Like she's never dated like a man, Like.
Speaker 9 (38:51):
He's a man around like he's a man, and he's
like like he's just all American, and I think he
is genuinely sweet.
Speaker 8 (39:01):
So tell me the red flags that you're working well.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
The first one was the aggression at his coach at
the Super Bowl, which I know he apologized for.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
That's what meant do.
Speaker 8 (39:14):
No, I know, I know, and they didn't.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
He did apologize, but I do think that he sort
of lost control, and I think I've seen We've seen
lots of athletes do that.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
But go ahead, It's okay.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Beaver Las Fergus, the finda that went for wakes and
even I think she even got the eck. At one
point she was like, oh God, not again, he's singing
this again. That was I mean, sort of an ex
sort of a red flag.
Speaker 9 (39:35):
I love a bender, so that's like me. So I mean, no,
I think that he did. You know, listen, he just did.
He just had this world romance with one of the
hugest pop stars ever, probably the biggest pop star ever,
and then won the super Bowl. So I expected the
bender to happen. He had a lot of celebrating to do,
and unfortunately the camera was on him more than it
normally would have. Yes, it was a little bit much,
(39:57):
but I feel like it's nothing that my husband, my
friends wouldn't have done if they had won the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Okay, red flag number two cancel. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Number three has just come out.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I don't know if you've seen it as a clip
from six years ago, but it is from.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Watch What Happens Live.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
He was asked, is it a deal breaker if the
female doesn't sleep with you after the third date?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
And he CD, yes, yes, it could be. Yeah, it's
sticking up him.
Speaker 8 (40:24):
But do we know when they slept together?
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Oh no, no, we din't okay, So.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Like maybe they did, maybe they slept together that first night.
I'm pretty actually, I'm not pretty sure. I'm actually positive
that I slept with my now husband fifteen minutes after
we met.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
So don't again, we're not getting into like what we did.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
I know, I know.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
I think.
Speaker 9 (40:45):
I think also anybody that goes on what What Happens
Live is trying to like, you know, they were doing
things for shock value. So I think he was trying
to probably like have fun and get Andy ll riled
up because that's what Andy likes and.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
That she's turned me. Oh, maybe I'm giving him a
hot time.
Speaker 10 (41:04):
I mean, fat you fifteen minutes with your now husband
from zero to one hundred.
Speaker 9 (41:10):
Yeah, I mean, listen, it was not like the norm
for me, but I was extremely intoxicated. It was three
thirty am and I was on my way out and
then he found me.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Thank you so much for you, Tom. I really love
catching up with you. It's a really fun thing to
do every week, and well hopefully we'll do it again
next week.
Speaker 8 (41:25):
Absolutely, I'm a good one.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Guys,
This Gentleman Being podcast. Hey that's us, brought to you
by Hello Fresh. The Experts and Tastes that kiwis last
about twenty hours worth of rain coming the North Island's
way see from the South Island. Enjoy that. Now. I
just learned something from you, Megan and producer Taylor this
morning about Hollywood's rodent men rattish good looks as a
(00:20):
new thing, right.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yes, so this is like a trend that was going
around a while ago as well, where you either resemble
a rat or a frog, right, And now they're taking
on a whole new meaning where the rattish men are like,
it's a good looking man, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So it's not your traditional Hollywood heart throbs like, no,
it's a Brad Pert, Jason MoMA them. They're good looking guys.
But you're saying people with more rat like qualities are
now like oh there, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Because we actually we said John I was a frog, right,
but you are a rat.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't well, I'm not going to say I'm good
looking or anything, but I do have a lot of
rat like qualities.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I would have thought, like, I don't know, I didn't
want to the rat. I kind of wanted to be
the frog.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, it's a different It seems like a compliment though,
you know, because it wouldn't normally be a complimble.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I was just looking up Jason Moore because you see
them too. I think he's he's a rat.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
It's definitely a rat.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
So maybe it is. I got a compliment for me.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I think it's got to do like if you picture
a rat's face like they have kind of like fine frog,
a bit more rounder, gotcha.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
I think a rat face would be like a more
chiseled one.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah right, okay, so we're looking at according to this
article I'm reading now because I've gone deep into like
Blick one A two drama, Trevis Parker, the Reckons, like
the guy who was Wonker Timothy Yes, yeah he's there
as well, the guy from the Beer that Cooking show
as well.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
You know, Jeremy Allen's got.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah it's not a cooking I mean it's a drama cooking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rat.
They're all rats and good looking rats apparently. So this
is the thing. Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
So if you want to know if you're good looking,
to stare in the mirror and say you're.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Right or from we were calling you a race today
been Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm little. We're out to you though. You know some
iconic rats throughout the world. Are we looking at them
differently now or not?
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Well?
Speaker 5 (02:12):
I think that yeah, I think they're datable now.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
The hits that Jona wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Speaking of America, We're going to live to New York.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Live from New Zealand to New York City.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
Idios done, he is done. One is like seen Isle
and one's it's all the like.
Speaker 9 (02:30):
Forty and fift year old.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
It's Nicole and New York.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Nicole. She's a New York correspondent. She does a radio
show and a mini podcasts over and there in New York,
and she joins us every week to tell us the
hot goss out of New York came and the cole has.
Speaker 8 (02:47):
Gone, Hey, it's good to be back, guys.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Nice to talk to you. That's what you had. A
former president arrested over there this week as the president's
son was it is it you next week? Who's getting
arrested next?
Speaker 9 (02:58):
I mean, I'm surprised at this point in my life
that I've never been arrested. I mean, the way that
I live my college years, I'm very shocked that I
never got in serious trouble.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Very lucky. I'm knocking on wood right now.
Speaker 10 (03:07):
Yeah, sometimes you do look back at your late teens
early twenties and you're like, how did I make it through?
Speaker 8 (03:12):
It's unbelievable, Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son.
Speaker 10 (03:17):
He's had a bit of a rough history with drug
abuse and addiction, and hey lied about having a cocaine
addiction to get a gun.
Speaker 8 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
You know, the thing is is, I feel like there's
drug addiction, right, and there's like messing around drugs, and
then there's crack.
Speaker 8 (03:33):
It's just like they're two different groups.
Speaker 9 (03:36):
I just feel like crack Like every president has had
their family be in scandals and had some sort of
you know, drama going on in the family, but you
rarely hear about someone of the presidential's families.
Speaker 8 (03:48):
That's addicted to crack. Crack. It's just it's on a
whole other level.
Speaker 9 (03:51):
I don't think anybody has the patience or the time
or is able to be like it's no big deal, Yeah,
just a little bit of marijuana.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
So we're confused by the charges.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So he lied about his drug use, but then he
was trying to get a firearm illegally.
Speaker 8 (04:07):
You know, your guess is as good as mine.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
We're all actually quite just as confused as you are.
Speaker 8 (04:12):
Across the world.
Speaker 9 (04:13):
Nobody really knows because we're sort of fed a bunch
of different stories, and on social media you hear from
different sides what everybody's saying. But all I know is
that he's done crack, and I just don't feel like
that's a great thing.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, because it feels like he lied. From what I
understand is that like when the doctor sees how many
drinks do you have? Awaken you like, oh why Yeah?
Is that like one of those situations or is it
a bit more?
Speaker 9 (04:34):
I think so? And everybody lies on those, right, there's
no way like like if you actually were honest, it'd
be like yeah, like I don't know, fifty a week, Like,
I mean, I'm finding closer to that, but I don't know.
It's like again, yeah, it's like the crack and the hookers,
and like there's a whole rap sheet of stuff that
I mean, half of it we probably don't even know about.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
Again, as soon as you hear crack, let's just move along. Yeah,
I mean, I just this is this is no good
every time I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Does like, how much crack have you had this week?
I'm always pretty honest, four or five times this week?
Speaker 9 (05:06):
We one time at once today and then I remember
one of the chicks that he was like hooking up
with or sleeping with or having an affair with, said
something like you would wake up and use crack. So
there's crack, and then there's the morning crack users. Again,
that's not gez.
Speaker 10 (05:20):
Actually, when you look into President Biden's history, He's hit
a lot of trauma in his life, isn't he Because
his first wife and his baby died in a car crash.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine.
Speaker 9 (05:33):
And again, We've had so many presidents in US history
that I've had. I mean, you look at JFK, like,
think of all of the trauma that those families have had,
and all the scandals and all the secrets.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
I mean again, I don't think any of us.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
Will ever know half of the true stories of most
of those families.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
What I want to ask you, actually, because I'm I
give feed all these videos and I don't know for
their like edots of Joe Biden acting dottery and old
on stage and have to be sort of feed lines.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Is that actually what's Hitna? These just terrible jemy It.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Is, Yes, yes, that's exactly what somebody listen.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
I mean, I think any president is going to have
like they'll have somebody help write things for them, and
when they get up, they have, you know, they're prepared
with their speech or whatever they're going to say to
the country or to whoever's at whatever meeting or thing,
and they're gonna have it in a teleprompter. But I
don't even think that he knows what he's reading. I
don't think anybody preps him before. I think they're saying
it in his ear, and then even when it's in
(06:26):
front of him, he can barely make sense of it.
I mean, my husband, his father whom I adored so much,
actually passed away from Alzheimer's. And my husband even says,
like jokes like he literally is like having my dad
lead the country when he at Alzheimer's.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
It's it's scary. I mean, the man is senile, and
I I love him.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
But he's not somebody who should be, you know, should
be in charge of our country.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
But then I do feel sorry for you guys, because
the other option.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
Is, yeah that yes, we've got a sociopath and somebody
who's see now, they're both terrible options.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Let me get get a job.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
He'll certainly have a little bit more energy. And thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So much for your tom. I really love catching up
with you. It's a really fun thing to do every weekend.
We'll hopefully we'll do it again next week.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
Absolutely the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Now you were talking about Glenn Powell actor. He was
in the new version of Top Gun.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And then the rom com Anyone But You with Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Absolute babe.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
He's done a podcast and it is with Jake Shane.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
It's called Therapists. But after he did the podcast, he
said to come out and clarify something, not apologize. But
he's a little bit embarrassed because he told this story.
Do you want me to tell you the story as
he told it, and then I'll give you the reason
why he's had to come back later. Okay, So the
story is a friend of his little sister went on
(07:54):
a date with a guy who is very charming and
this is a little bit grim to I'll just preface this.
And she went back to his apartment and when she
got in there, straight away she was like, I shouldn't
have come here, shouldn't have come here? Feel a bit weird.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
He offered to give her a massage and she was
like so he put some lotion on her, and she
was like, when.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You get a massage and things are weird that you
want to leave.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Right, you'd be happy to know that.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
In this story, the woman was like, Okay, I'm going
to go listen for me and he was like, no, stay,
but she ended up leaving. So the next day her
skin was itchy and weird, and so she went to
the doctor and that's when the doctor was like, what
where have you been? Because you have this formaldehyde on
your like embalming fluid on your body. Really, where have
(08:42):
you been? Who put this on you? We need details
and we need to give it to the police. So
they went to this guy's house and that's when they
found several bodies.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So this is the story that gleamed I.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Tell that story of the podcast. So why is it
getting a little bit of grief?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
So he told it as his little sister's friend. The
thing is, as we were hearing this story, producer Grace
and I were both like, I've heard this story before,
But how could I could I hold if it was
Glen Powell's sister's friend. So this is an old urban
legend that's been retold in different forms for years and
different locations.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's been told all of this a lot, like he
might have heard it from someone who said it was
his sister's friend.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, so he has come out and he said, props
to my little sister's friend who told this dating story.
I've been telling this for years. I'm pushing my whole
life now. False alarm back, grubs are back. But he's
told this urban legion and everyone's like, I've heard this
so many times, Glenn, it's not a news story.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Freaky story. If it is, I don't know where the
hits that.
Speaker 7 (09:46):
John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Now producer Taylor, you got a little bit upset with
us the other day. We particularly John O. We all
went John I doing that because we were filming something
and it required an umbrella not to be open inside.
But then he decided to open.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
It, open it and then wave it around, try and
get me to stand under it and put it over.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I think you, megan so good, look at that.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I think it's fine.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
I was like, what's wrong, because you were running away.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
From Yeah, that's like the ultimate bad luck. That's like
years of bad luck.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So you're quite a believer in the sort of Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, so like I would never walk under a ladder
when it's up, I always have to touch a plane before
I get on.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I've started doing that because a friend would do it
as well. I'm like, I'm there as well. That's the thing.
I feel like I forgot the opportunity to do it,
then I might as well try and do it or
avoid it because.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Well, yeah, why do you guys put that on me? Now?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
You need to just touch the prane, cross the plane.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, what's like blessing the plane and you just wait
till the next plane you catch, if God forbid, you
don't touch it.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
And something happening like plane on my mind.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
That was maybe maybe, yeah, didn't pet the plane.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You're in touch with that sort of thing.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
When I drive past the graveyard, I'll do the sign
of the cross if there's a rainbow and make a wish.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
You know, all these little things. It's extt stick. Actually,
it takes up a lot of you.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Are you superstitious? Not really?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Because I was waving the umbrella to be fear.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I almost took out one of the lights in here,
and I was like, that's instant calmer, But I.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Don't really no, I'll stand on cracks.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah. It was someone in the office the other day.
They were walking quite slowly and we're like you okay,
and they were like, hey, I don't like to walk
on cracks. Yeah, and so they were just morn.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
I would never step in between two pavements.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I get that. When my parents went overseas, they did it.
But when they were together back in the day, they
did a big o and they carried around for some reason,
like a cork, like a wine cork with's a couple
of coins, like this was a good luck thing, and
then they gave it to me. And when my wife
and I were going overseas, now I carry this one,
the thing I just got in my bag. I carry
it around. I carried my bag and I'm like, well,
I can't throw it out. But at the same time,
(11:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
But I don't like to put things like that on
myself because.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I've got this for life now over my bag, Like
what's this cork with a couple of coins, and what happens?
I know, so maybe I am.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Super Yeah, I think you definitely are.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Okay, so we want to know this morning and the hat,
So what are your superstitions? What are the things you do?
Maybe you've got something that's lucky that you always do,
a lucky peri underwear or something kind.
Speaker 3 (12:10):

thing as dinner a lot.

of hotel or motel whatever it is, as we leave,
she always out loud, thanks for having us room. It's
like now, the kids and I we all thank if
someone sees us in the corridor, like this is a
weird family. But I don't know why and while we

your mean sort of thing.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
No shoes like, you know, let's put the shoes on
the table, or they cut their shoes on the table.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I can, yeah, especially when you're eating eating around there. Yeah,
you know, I think it's a good one. It's a
good and get behind that. We're going to check you
on the jaw for your rental mortgage paid for twelve months,
so good luck with that, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
There's a few takes that are coming as well. I
like this one always salute a magpipe. It's by itself, okay,
if it's with a mate, it's good luck. I've got
a lucky hoodie that I always wear. And this one
from a nurse, which I think I've heard before. I
never use the word that means the opposite of busy,
beginning with a queue and eating and tea, so they
never say it's quiet.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh, because then we'll busy. Okay, let's one more quick
one before we go.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Good morning, Rebecca. Yes, Hi, what's your superstition?
Speaker 13 (16:05):
My superstition is whenever something happens to you three times
really bad, and one day I go buy a.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
Lot of tickets.
Speaker 13 (16:11):
Yeah, ah, I seem to win something.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Oh really, so three bad things we'll get. Did you
win the seven mill the other night or one of
those people?
Speaker 13 (16:20):
Wow, I haven't had any bad stuff happened to me
in three days in the same day in a long time,
so I think.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
My mum's the opposite. Two good things will happen, and
she's like, go and buy a lot of ticket. Oh really,
it'll be the third you're the opposite.
Speaker 13 (16:34):
But the last time for me, I won seventy bucks.
And it's when my son broke as big and cows broke,
window broke, and our water broke, our water mains pipe broke.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
And it's actually worked.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Okay, three bad things go buy a lot of ticket.
That's great. We're gonna check you in the draw for
your rental mortgage paid for time twelve months.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
The hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
My daughter, you know, love both. My daughter's very proud
of my daughters.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
But one of the things are one of them you're
particularly proud.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, one of the things are really no, I'm proud
of both. But one of the things I really admire
about seeing her as the oldest one, she just she's
just will give things to go. She's she's like, I'll
give it a go. School talent show. She's like, I'm
going to give it a go with my friend.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
That's very admirable for like a young person high school
is so self conscious and so like worried what people
will say.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I mean, they were a little bit like because they
looked to my garage here and a friend and you know,
we've got all those props and costumes, and they were like, oh,
they found these inflatable monsters inc. You know from the
cartoon costumes. I've got those in there. And they're like,
we can we're out. We can do like a TikTok
mash up dance with it. We're a lot funny. And
they were like, and to be honest, no one w't
even know it's us. Yeah, that'd be great. So they
said to the people, the organizers yesterday, they were like,
(17:41):
just say we're the monsters, you know, just in case
things go bad they can say, oh, was it us?
And then they didn't realize when they walked out there
it went on the big screen. See you. The boys
a full name as well before they started, and they
announced it like okay, here we go. But Brownie went, well,
we went well. It was a lot of fun. So
I was like, good on them. If we get out
there and doing it, tell show. I was a lot
more guts than I would I would have at that age.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You never went in a talent show.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I got made to do an individual dance. We all
had to do them at I know, and I can't dance.
I've told the story a lot before, but I had
a Michael Jackson masket home, same theory. Put that on,
no one will know who it is nowadays, I probably
wouldn't have a Michael Jackson basket home. And I decided
I'd let some fireworks off in the gym because Michael
Jackson has five you know rasmetaires fireworks. And then of
course the gym floors like wooden started burning the floor
(18:27):
and I got a week special special detention, had to
come back and like, yeah, so it wasn't wasn't my
finest moment. I know. I was like yeah. Halfway through
as I let the second fireworks, I was doing a
lot to thriller. I could hear the teacher go nobod no.
I was like, what, oh, yeah, okay, yes, do you
ever get involved in shows? I did?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I did the Spice Girl, but like it wasn't a
talent so I don't know why we did it. But
me and like my friends we all dressed up as
the Spice Girls and did I guess we did the
stop right now dance.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I mean it's not hard. We love said, we just wanted.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
To dress up as a spice skills. Funnily enough, we
didn't like place which one were you I was Jerry
because I had the two blonde streaks at the front
of my head. Oh god, that I did myself.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
It's the johnaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Lifeline is a wonderful New Zealand organization that's been around
for sixty years this year, which is incredible and they
do need your help more than here. But to tell
us more about it, we've got Lisa from Lifeline joining us.
Great to have you on.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
How are you today?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
We're doing well, lovely to talk to you. Yeah, sixty
years for Lifeline. That's incredible, that's been around that long.
But at the same time it's you know, you almost
don't want it to be around and don't want people
to need it.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Well, me, sixty years is a huge achievement. There's definitely
something we're very proud of and obviously we'd like to
continue to offer the general public another sixty years if
we can. There's clearly a need for our service and
we'd like to keep offering it and had a sustainable
service moving forward.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Huge a huge amount of need, as you say, you know,
eight thousand calls per month, twenty thousand texts per month. Yeah,
it feels like the pressure is on so many people
and it's a place that people turn to.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
For help, and we receive a mixture of calls from
everyday in New Zealand. Theer's but a whole lot of
things somewhere about isolation and loneliness, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression
and suicide. Unfortunately, on average we support around seventeen people
per day. Wow, rich should stuff harmond suicide?
Speaker 10 (20:30):
That is those of frightening statistics and so what do
what are you needing?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You're needing some cash? Money?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Are we We're needing some money. It's a free service nationwide,
but it costs a lifeline on average about thirty six
dollars a call, so overall it costs pc in about
three point seven eight million to run. We want to
be a sustainable service moving forward that we need We
need some funding.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Is the government funded in any way?
Speaker 6 (20:56):
No, we haven't been the government funded for the service
since twenty six and we would love some.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
It feels like it feels like a service that should
be funded by the state.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Well, we receive a lot of donations from the community,
which is really fantastic and keeps us going, but any
kind of form of funding that we could receive would
be extremely grateful for I'm happy to talk to anybody
who wants to give us a call and talk about funding.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
So you've launched an appeal at the moment for Lifeline.
How can people help out If they're listening right now
and they'd love to give some money to help out,
a wonderful course.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
They can go to a Lifeline website. We've got a
Lifeline sixties website on it as a denate button. Also,
we've got some merchandise like limited Lifeline sixties T shirts
and they can call in. They can contact their fundraising
team through Lifeline. So there are a variety of ways
that you can help support us.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Have you found you know, I guess with COVID, you know,
many businesses and people were hard with that and everything
around that. Now the cost of living, it feels like
things aren't that great out there at the moment.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
No. One of the things that we've noticed is that
we've had an increase in calls. So a lot of
services at the moment in the community with mental health
services are overloaded. We're getting a lot more calls coming
in with what's going on in our society at the moment,
and we would like to have to meet those needs.
Speaker 10 (22:17):
So the theory behind it, obviously you're talking to someone
in case is knowing that people can talk to. But
I also imagine it's probably quite a therapeutic talking to
a complete stranger.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Yes. And one of the things that the councilors are
very skilled at is they don't know when they say,
you know, good morning Lifeline, they don't know what the
nature of the call is going to be, and so
they're highly trained to talk to anybody about any any issues.
And we always think that it's best to talk about
issues when you're a little bit smaller rather than when
they get to the beg end. I'll be happy to
help with that.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
She to tell you what, Lisa, I've got these boody
parking tickets piling up.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Is there something they cover off on Lifeline?
Speaker 6 (22:53):
I can give you No. Eight, one hundred numbers for that.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Council great cool, Thank you, you're healthy well sixty years.
Are well done on helping out so many thousands of
New Zealanders over those sixty years and being a great
thing for people to call in times of need. So
thank you so much for your time and we wish
you all the best with hopefully raising a lot of
money so you can continue brilliant.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Thank you so much, good luck for your party Tickets's.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
The johnaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's a party in Mystery Creek and Hamilton over the

hit along. Don't wear clean gum boots. That was our
down care. John and I bought that because we need
to fit on. So we bought gum boots and we
hadn't worn we hadn't pre worn them in and you
really stand out there.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I once wore like a brand new Swanee to the
Wild Foods Fest. We've got a lot of ronie. Everyone
could tell that it was brand new, had not been worn.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Which I had dry cleaned the swan dry. Yeah, like
I hadn't got a lot of grief. Yeah, yeah, He's
like put it through the dry cleaner.
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
It's like the only way you can clean those is
out there and the buddy hail and then and the
fresh air in Southland or something. So because a few
days is on, we wanted to do something called milking
it this morning. See if we can get anybody on one
hundred the hats right now that is actually you know,
working this morning milk and cows.

bit of a bit weird, but it'll give you. Chris,

So that and always the hell out of me?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I'm sure people can understand this. People. I want to
put more faith in the radio listening audience. They can
comprehend it. Sometimes people have the same name.

Yeah, very tragic tragedy. But hey, she's given us a
great red. You've got yourself one hundred dollars and a
del mar tea hot and hot and cold tea price back,
and the knowledge to know that we are you're better
than nuts.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Air Megan, And can we check her on the drawer
for live free as well?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Of course we can't. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
You laughed at me.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Now do you want to check her in the draw
or not?
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah, she can go on the drawer.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
They have a great day and good luck tomorrow. That
key could be yours.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
The hits that John wan beIN podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
An injury that I'm still sporting almost a week later,
because I have a one year old and a three
year old and I'm very lucky.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Most nights they sleep through the night.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
She have a great sleep consultant. If you need help
in that area, to hit me up.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
But I woke to my daughter. She woke up, but
she was screaming like bloody murder, and I was like,
oh my.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
God, she s bloody murder.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
It was like a screw. It wasn't a cry. I
was like, what is happening?
Speaker 3 (36:04):
So she woke me up from a deep sleep, and
instinctively I just got out of bed and ran. And
usually I can get around in the dark in my house.
I'm so used to it now I know where everything is.
But I hid butted the doorframe.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
So I was running towards the door.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
There was a door open, and the door was open.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Just completely misjudged it because I was a bit delirious
and I hid butted it so like I ricocheted off
it and started groaning and writhing on the bed.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Mys like, who do I go to?
Speaker 8 (36:33):
Now?
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Do I go to her?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Or do I go to you?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Do? I would have loved him to a film there?
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, yeah, I can't imagine what it would have looked like.
But her, it's still I can still feel exactly where.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
It wasn't a major bump there or anything.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I do have a bump.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
You can't say I almost wanted a bruise because it
hurts so much. I wanted you to be some physical
evidence of something.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
But so yeah, you quite just orientated too when you
wake up in the night apparently like sometimes that my
wife will wake me up, but I'm not. I don't remember,
you know, those sorts of things. One time she was
like someone downstairs, and I was like, yeah, probably that's
what I said. She's think you made her going. She's
a lot braver than me. And other times I do
pretend to that. I'm like, you know, but I did
(37:19):
wake up. One time was with someone on there was
someone I felt like someone was walking on the roof
and it wasn't Christmas time, and Santa or anything like that,
and it turned out there was someone on the run
from the cops. But I was like trying to wake
my wife up that that stage going. I think someone's
walking on the roof and she was like, what what
am I wake your wife up to help me. I
don't know what to do and I wanted to do.
(37:40):
And then next day apparently yeah, we talked to the
neighbor and they're like, yeah, they made a run for it.
They jumped over your roof. And I was like, oh,
there was someone on yeah, because the.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
One time I was in christ Church and I heard
someone on the roof and I was so terrified.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
I rang the police and it was a possom.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Do they come do they come out?
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Chicken out that Johnaan Ben popca the code.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Now we've been debating Travis kelcey relationship with Taylor Swift. Now,
Meghan's starting to feel like there's some red flags going on,
right Meghan, So yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
They're giving me rubbert.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
I just feel like Taylor Swift, She's kissed a lot
of frogs and so I'm just looking out for her.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
I feel like there's been a couple of red flags
with Travis kelce.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
We feel she's speaking a bit too hard on Trevis
Kelsey is a bit of a lamb. At the same time,
he speaks well on his podcast.
Speaker 9 (38:24):
What are your thoughts on Trevis Kelcey, don't talk bad
about my man. I'm like obsessed with him. And yes,
she has kissed a lot of frogs. I'm interested to
know what the red flags that are, like kind of
alerting you are, because I feel like she's never dated
someone like this. It's always been some like super arty,
farty actor, someone who's like this, like seriously like deep,
(38:48):
you know, musician.
Speaker 8 (38:49):
Like she's never dated like a man, Like.
Speaker 9 (38:51):
He's a man around like he's a man, and he's
like like he's just all American, and I think he
is genuinely sweet.
Speaker 8 (39:01):
So tell me the red flags that you're working well.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
The first one was the aggression at his coach at
the Super Bowl, which I know he apologized for.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
That's what meant do.
Speaker 8 (39:14):
No, I know, I know, and they didn't.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
He did apologize, but I do think that he sort
of lost control, and I think I've seen We've seen
lots of athletes do that.
Speaker 8 (39:22):
But go ahead, It's okay.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Beaver Las Fergus, the finda that went for wakes and
even I think she even got the eck. At one
point she was like, oh God, not again, he's singing
this again. That was I mean, sort of an ex
sort of a red flag.
Speaker 9 (39:35):
I love a bender, so that's like me. So I mean, no,
I think that he did. You know, listen, he just did.
He just had this world romance with one of the
hugest pop stars ever, probably the biggest pop star ever,
and then won the super Bowl. So I expected the
bender to happen. He had a lot of celebrating to do,
and unfortunately the camera was on him more than it
normally would have. Yes, it was a little bit much,
(39:57):
but I feel like it's nothing that my husband, my
friends wouldn't have done if they had won the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Okay, red flag number two cancel. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Number three has just come out.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I don't know if you've seen it as a clip
from six years ago, but it is from.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Watch What Happens Live.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
He was asked, is it a deal breaker if the
female doesn't sleep with you after the third date?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
And he CD, yes, yes, it could be. Yeah, it's
sticking up him.
Speaker 8 (40:24):
But do we know when they slept together?
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Oh no, no, we din't okay, So.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
Like maybe they did, maybe they slept together that first night.
I'm pretty actually, I'm not pretty sure. I'm actually positive
that I slept with my now husband fifteen minutes after
we met.
Speaker 3 (40:39):
So don't again, we're not getting into like what we did.
Speaker 8 (40:43):
I know, I know.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
I think.
Speaker 9 (40:45):
I think also anybody that goes on what What Happens
Live is trying to like, you know, they were doing
things for shock value. So I think he was trying
to probably like have fun and get Andy ll riled
up because that's what Andy likes and.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
That she's turned me. Oh, maybe I'm giving him a
hot time.
Speaker 10 (41:04):
I mean, fat you fifteen minutes with your now husband
from zero to one hundred.
Speaker 9 (41:10):
Yeah, I mean, listen, it was not like the norm
for me, but I was extremely intoxicated. It was three
thirty am and I was on my way out and
then he found me.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Thank you so much for you, Tom. I really love
catching up with you. It's a really fun thing to
do every week, and well hopefully we'll do it again
next week.
Speaker 8 (41:25):
Absolutely, I'm a good one.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
