This Jentleman Ben podcast brought to you by Hello Fresh.
The experts and tastes that kiwis love, that is nineties
versus Naughties. That's right. We wanted to decide which was
the best decade? Was it the nineteen nineties or was
it the naughties. We're talking about basically the early two
thousands up to about twenty ten. Throughout the week, we're
(00:20):
going to look at the best TV shows, movies, fashion,
all those music, every librity, and then on Friday, thanks
to you, we'll decide which is the best the nineties
or the two thousands, and we'll play music NonStop, nothing
from that era.

Finally, we're going to settle the madness this ongoing debate.
Expert analysis will have historians, teams of statisticians. Megan, you're

Oh yeah, I remember. Okay, let's go ok just quickly nineties.
If you type in chat GP into chet GPT, what's
big about the nineties? Just quickly, here you go. I

Jurassic Park. Bands, You've got Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Britney Spears
came on the scene, Spice Gills, flannel shirts, flannel shits. Yeah,
(01:37):
baggy pants, overalls, bright colors, and neon. The internet became
a thing in the nineties as well. So that's what's
big about that decade. And then you go across to
the year two thousands. Sopranos lost, Lord of the Rings,
Harry Potter, Kanye West, Eminem, Beyonce, Lady Gaga. Yes, so
many things. Von Dutch was that one there, low rise
(02:01):
jeans and crop tops. You know, you've got so much
against some things. We want to forget thanks, we want
to remember Hardy. They were noisy, There was noisy clothing
a long ago.

the party.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
That John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's really exciting week this week because we're trying to
decide which was the best decade, the nineties or the naughty.
Then on Friday, depending on how you vote, we'll play
songs only from that decade in our show.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, some wonderful, wonderful nostalgia, grassroots up the guts nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
This week quite nice, as you said earlier this morning.
With a lot of you know, pretty bad stuff are
going on in the world right now, and you know,
cost of living and all that sort stuff, it's nice
to kind of reflect on a simpler time. So fiesco
out there, mate, it. It's a war zone out there.
Literally in some parts of the world, it is a
war zone.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And so you wanted to check out a competition where
we try and find a better TV show than Friends?
Can you name a better TV show than Friends? Because
it feels like that's the one that's on top of
TV mountain.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, we all know it. We know that, the theme song,
you know the characters. We've watched that fifty five million
times thanks to TV two playing nothing but Friends.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They just put they just pressed it on Luke and
I did that for twenty years. Can anyone tell me
why Friends? If full stop are full stop? I what
was it with the full stops in betwe in the letters?
I just saw the logo this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I don't know, it's just it's just the logo.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Just don't beat me off with.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't know if the dots had any like significance.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Did they mean anything. I've looked into that. I've looked
at that. It looks like there's a forum on that
at the moment, so I see, Yeah, maybe I could
have done my own research there, not lifted to Ben
to do the heavy lifting.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
But yeah, can you name a better TV show than Friends?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Megan, I quite like Breaking Bad.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh yeah, with what's his face?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What's his face? Walter White?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Who's the actor? Oh whatslcome in the middle, Cranston. There
is a great TV show that's better than Friends, I
think so. I've watched all of it twice, whereas I don't.
Haven't watched all the Friends twice.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, what are we affecting in?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Is it personal opinion or affecting in the success of
the show.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You gotta be your personal Okay, this show is way
better than Friends. And I'm sure there are shows for
everyone that they find it better than Friends. Just a
quick bit of research on that they reckon. It was
just a stylistic choice. The folk stops in between Friends.
They didn't. Actually, it's not an acron or anything.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Meghan was right for instance, and another article I was
reading on Friends too, it was meant to be and
this is a show that could have been better than
Friends Seinfeld. It was meant to be a softer, more
broad appeal Seinfeld set in New York based around Friends.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I guess that kind of is yeah, a lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And some would say Seinfeld was a better show. I'm
going to lock and personally and you can't argue with
the scess success of Friends, you're never going to beat it.
But the Office, all right, UK Office, And I decided
to pull this audio off my VHS for authenticity purposes,
So UK or US, I would say, the UK one,
(05:54):
though I have watched the US and it's hilarious as well,
took on a life of its own.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The Cosby Show, well, yeah, there was another huge, hug
huge show. But yeah, maybe thankfully probably more eighties than
the nineties, so that it might have actually seam tune.
Let's kind of move on for that. This one, how
about this one.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Story, all about it. I just loved Fresh Prince. I
thought it was a great show, you know, and I
happily watched that over Friends anyday.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, Fresh Prince was a great show, had some good gags,
and it didn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
We got to speak to Will Smith once, remember before
he slapped Chris Rock at the face, didn't we? And
we you managed to seamlessly. We even a Fresh Prince question.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We heard you grew up in Wist, Philadelphia, born and
on the playground.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
In the movie, there was a couple of guys and
they were up to go after that whack to the
face idiot.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
He played long with the hits that johnaan Ben podcast
trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Side which is the best decade, the nineties or the noughties.
To celebrate, we're going to be playing songs from only
that decade on Friday. And right now we're talking about
TV shows. One of the most famous, one of the
most iconic, seems to be friends these days. So we're
like names of TV show them friends.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Now here's a theory because someone's called and to multiple
people have called him about Bloody Mesh.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh yeah, do you remember Mesh?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I remember Mash five o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It was always on and you'd have many choices and
channels back then, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, and you'd have to sit through Mesh to what
were just through Mesh for to get to the news.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I feel like it came on after probably the sort
of children's entertainments.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I wanted to watch TV too. My dad was always like, oh,
watch Mash. I just remember that guy going I know nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, that's hero.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Oh I don't even know the.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Same. That was another war buddy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, that's the same. They had hot lips, Tula hand
A Mesh. Yeah, she had hot lips. That's what they
called it. Yeah, wow, Yeah, that was her nickname. And
then they had a corporal Klinger.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That was that was was it? I don't know. We
were children watching this.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It was finished in nineteen eighty three and they were
still playing in the ninety ninety. So here's my theory.
Friends is in that slip stream at the moment of
that nostalgia for many people. But can you name a
better show than Friends? We're going to kick it off
with you, Wade.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
How are you good to have you on?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Way?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, we're doing well. What was it? Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I wouldn't say a TV show, but more like a series.
I'd find shameless say it was a really good series.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Though shameless better than Friends.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It's just a bunch of low la people, you know,
trying to make a bigger laugh. And it's got a
lot of good characters in there.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I've heard a lot of talk around shame. Let's never
actually sat down to watch himself.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Go from the beer the guy as he's he's on.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
There's Jeremy Allen White.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Yeah, oh yeah, that's what they called him.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Frank.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Hey, well, thank you, Wade, appreciate that. Let's get Natasha
on better show than Friends, Natasha the.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Big Bang theory.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Once there's another massive show. I never really got into it,
not because it just never gave it a chance, but
it's massive.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
I don't think I don't think it's better than Friends
because I love Friends, but I think it's kind of
on par with like the next sort.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Of generational sort of yeah right, very similar sort of
setup with characters.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Same as you've been.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I never watched an episode, but it was always one,
so I was like, good on you for being around consistency. Well,
thank you very much, Tatasha, Chris, a better show than Friends?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
What have you got?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I'm not the Simpsons?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yes, probably is. Actually I kind of start it in
the eighties, but it still continues to go like Friends.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It's still going.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, you're right, in new episodes all the time. They're
still making great episodes. It's a great show.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
As long as politicians keep having an affair, the Simpsons
will keep going.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It don't very clever show. Hey, Christy, you're the Simpsons.
You probably know it. You said this Bo's Megan.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Sopranos is a great show.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, No, I'm going to reflect more on that one.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It was was that nineties. I feel like I was
quite young to be watching like gangster stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
For us to come in with some stuff that I
thought you were going to be like, yeah, I was
a good show.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
We thought you were going to roll on with why
it was a good show. You just reflected and thought
about it for a moment. It was nice.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But I was just thinking, yeah, I was very young
to be watching that kind of action happening on the TV.
But I remember it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Maybe it's just named show to go. That was a
good show. And then nothing else that was a good show.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It was a good job and recreation that's a good show.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Talking all week just reflecting this Solgia and before I.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Died, the hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
We're trying to decide which was the best decade with
your help, the nineties or the noughties. We're running some polls,
so if you hit to our social media as well,
you can vote on that. And we're also giving ourselves
a little bit of a competition between the three of
us to see if we can get a message for
someone from one of those errors. The best guest by
the end of the week, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
No one wanted the Sadminds tracking down celebrities.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Him from a radio station and news.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, how where's the bar set up to you? Just kidding?
You need to get a better guest than than the previous. Okay, okay,
all right, so you set the barrow wherever you want
to set the bar some of it from the nineties
of the noughties. Well, as soon as we get get
in it, we can start playing them throughout the week.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
He's getting a friend, Jennifer Anderson, David shwoman.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Man, imagine if you got them would jeez reminiscing this
week the nineties visits the naughties, And we were just
talking off here about both our mothers, all of our
mother's Probably Ray Ray got into these as well. There
the Miami Wine callers. Boy, oh boy, that was a
drink from yester year. Now the Powers before Powers basically
(11:55):
wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
There was?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, there was basically just wine mixed with lemonade. It
was like a spritzer.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's wine spritzer.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, bubbly. I remember my dad used to give me
shandies with you know, that is beer and lemonade. And
apparently if you add lemonade any alcohol, that lessens the
parental guilty feeding children alcohol.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
But you go gateway to get you into drinking too.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Good Gateway but sweet.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
But you know develop I feel tingly. I feel funny
that mate, you can get less and less lemonade.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But the Miami Wine Callers I remember because Mum will
go to the alcohol shop and then the lovely gentleman
behind the counter at the alcohol shop would give her
the big giant cardboard cutouts of the Miami Wine Caller
bottles and we could slide, We could slide down the
stairs on the cardboard cutouts. That was that was entertained.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You think it was from Miami or not? The wine
didn't scream front.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Did your moms get the bottles? Because my mum got
a cask. All the cask could sit in the fridge
and when she wasn't looking, I just like mouthed, I
just like out of the cask.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I would have been young there. I love the empty
cast too because you can blow them up and use
them as floatation devices. And the pollo.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, yeah, your mum used to dress you and Joseph. Yeah.
She payed for the indoor cricket team in Marceden and
was sponsored by Joseph Coots the beer brand. It's not
around anymore. So I remember that you said this Joseph
Coots beer, so God wear the T shirt again? What
is the child wearing a beer branded tea?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So you would play for the indoor cricket town Again.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I get roped because and they dressed up and Joseph
at the end, I wouldn't be part of it. They
used to get a dozen beer at the end of
the indoor cricket game. And then what wasn't for me.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That was that when did we get all high and
mighty about alcohol and smoke sponsoring sport? Remember had the
Benson and he just tennis and open I think after
we sat there to stop for a singing break Winfield Cup.

so very you remind the people that can create some
wonderful things on that can.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Imagine only all of the low brow phelic.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's very hard to draw a low black phelic thing
because you can't draw circles. Yeah, is a square square?
Like we've got furbes, We've got brat stoles. We've got
all sorts.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Of tamagotchi in there as well, which was like a

would sort of fend their children off with digital temagotchies
that they had to look after. Yeah, so we want
to play some old school radio games in the past.
So I eight hundred the Hits. Let's do a classic

that decade. Megan for you, Yes, what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
All over all music, it's very hard.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
We're talking about that before, and I was like, I
feel like for me, the music's better. But then in
the nineties, TV shows from the nineties were really good,
So you.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Like the music from the two thousands. Music was probably
decre in some ways in the two thousands, but I
love the nineties because it's just it's kind of cheesier
and little basic. You're just like doors were unlocked. It
was a safer time. Technology was definitely a lot better
in the two thousands.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
TV theme songs were better in the nineties. Yea, they
were iconic TV show theme songs.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well right now, thanks to the team here at that

couldn't quite figure it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Out, don't give them a play.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
How the game went from there? But better the sexes.
This was a game very popular on radio, wasn't it
back in the day. I don't know if it has
it still the test of time.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
They kind of di versions of it now it's more
trading versus lady now.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, right, So what they are generally stereotyped questions? So Megan,
I would ask you what would be cliched stereotype male questions? Maybe,
and then being I would ask you what would be
the same stereotype female questions.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Hello, Susan, all lovely, Hi Megan, are you having time?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I am? Thank you?
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Oh god.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Susanna's most most days help me out of five?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, two out of five.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's a good average.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Susan lovely here, voice always so positive and uplifting. And
this week we're having a bit of a competition. The
nineties v the noughties, in which was the better period
in history. And you came over here from the UK
with a can do attitude.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And no money, right, you pretty much turned up here
with nothing right.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
That's right, nothing's changed that.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Were you selling vacuum cleaner's daughter door? Was that one
of your original jobs?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I did, yes, Kirby vacuum cleaners daughter door, I did, yeah.
But then when I got here, I thought, oh, I
think I could make something of myself here, and the
people are nice, and it was all a bit you know,
behind the times in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I thought, still, so, how did you make the jump
from selling vacuums daughter door to being on our screens?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Well, I started with the vacuum cleaners, and then I
bought in my own products to sell from overseas. So
it was products i'd sold before, vibrating massage pillows, you know, choppers, slices, dieters.
And I was a sales demonstrator. I have been since
I was eighteen. So I started working at trade shows
and exhibitions, you know, like Home Show and the Field Days,
(23:51):
demonstrating products and gadgets. And then I had a business
partner and he said, if I filmed you doing these
demonstrations that you're doing in the shopping malls and at
the shows, we can put put them on TV, you know, adverts,
and then we wouldn't have to shop all around these shows.
You could just sit on our asses, you know, and
(24:12):
make all the money.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So Natural Glow, how did you stumble across Natural Glow?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Yes? I made natural Glow because I came here burnt
to a fousle in the sun and thought not having
this bronzing powders didn't exist then. I know, it seems strange,
but they didn't, so nobody had one, so I got
it made.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And yeah, this was actually just your idea.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You're like, I'm going to make a powder.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Did soon that.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Paul create bronzing powders?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Wow, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
And New Zeeland in particular, like a two minute infomercials
weren't really a thing until you sort of came along
with natural Glow.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Right now, do you still because natural Glow is natural
Glow still out there?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
No? No, Because we stilled the whole company and sold
the whole shebang. Glow went with this and they never
continued with this.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Have you still got a pot of natural Glow?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I have?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Yeah, I still got a plot in a big blue
brush that you get absolutely free if you cor now.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Blue Monkey as well. We can't forget about the song
You're nineteen.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Ninety four mother you did. I'm trying hard to get
about it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Loads of fun, very sweat, very sweat love The Blue Monkey. Now,
what how did the Blue Monkey eventuate?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And what is a blue Monkey?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It sounds like some sort of initiation that I'd have
to do at university, it does it.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
It was actually a nightclub friend and I used go
to yeah called the Blue Monkey, and this said friend
was visiting me at the time for some reason. Now,
alcohol we had in the House of Port, and we
drank this whole bottle of port and by the end
of the night we'd come up with the idea of
this song and this down and called it the Blue Monkey.
Needless to say, I've never drank porting.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I've got Susan Paul with us.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
What I'd really admire about you is so many people
have ideas and they never act on them, and you
actually go and you get off your butt and you
go and do them.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Yes, I have no fear of failure whatsoever. If I
think of something, I think, oh, yeah'll do that, And
even if I don't know how to do it, I
always think, well, I know how to take the first step. Don't.
I could just do that and then see what happened,
to see where that leads. I think people get overwhelmed,
they make plamers and they think, oh my god, this
plan is so huge. I don't know what to do,
(26:36):
so they don't do anything, and I just think of
it and think, yeah, what's the first thing I could do.
What's the first step I could take? Okay, take it
and away I go again.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But wait, there's more. There's always more. That is a
great call.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Great attitude in life, Susie and Paul is always It's
a joy to check with you on the phone and
really appreciate you you being on the show this morning.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Thank you, Thank you, Thanks guys, love you short with

It's the johnaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Now the nineties VI the noughties, that's the theme this week.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Thanks to you.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We're going to help decide which was the bitter period
in life, in time and history. You know, you look
at the wild the wild crap still we're living in
at the moment, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
What have we done to the world.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You know, we're just trying to reflect on a happier,
simpler time. And there wasn't online dating in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
It wasn't a thing, was it. No, you're right, it was.
We didn't know about Tinder, all those sorts of things.
I mean, mobile phones weren't even really a thing until
the two thousands here in New Celand.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I don't even know how you how did you show
your genitals to strangers? And you supposed you to go
down to the park and do it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
In real life? Do you take a picture on a like,
on a camera and get a Kodak or something, take.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
It down then hand deliver it. It feels very confronted.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Also, dating, a lot of dating was written on a
toilet's wall, you know, for a good time, call yes true,
you know, and take you out to many parts or
whatever they thought was a good time.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And these were late night ads right some before dating
apps and Tinder and all those sort of bumble. These
these were played late night on the Telly and you
remember both of these, right. Hot Gossip party Line.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I never even called the Hot Gossip party line.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I felt like it was It was there for.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Teenagers who were wanting to prank people and pervy old
dudes haven't listened.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
To Hot Gossip.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
A lot of parties on the beach last year summer.

limited time.
Speaker 2 (28:50):

a hole about Hot Gossip, into some feedback on a
forum online. Some guy here met a lovely Vietnamese from Wellington.
She said, can I live in your house for two weeks?
Ten years later we're still married.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Because I didn't realize that was free listening back to it.
But can we call that number? Now? Shall we try?
It's four Grace. I just wrote down four double night

Speaker 2 (29:24):
The gossip's gone cold, and this.
Speaker 1 (29:27):

dollars a minute for this line, this particular line, this

Speaker 7 (29:41):

heir of a jingle, wasn't it? So that was that

These things from the nineties don't exist.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
In Rip the Hats, the Johona and Ben podcast, we're.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Looking this week which was the best decade the nineties
or the noughties, and then on Friday we're going to

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Talking to some wonderful names from year to year too.
Throughout the week, you said, Susan Paul infomercial queen on
on the show, and right now your first concert. This
is what we're the nostalgic trip down memory lanes.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It's a lot of fun actually reflecting on these things.
So that's what we want you to do this morning.
Oh eight hundred the Hats four for eight seven. What
was the first concert you went along too. Now, Megan,
you said what your first concert was, and then I
was like, oh my goodness, that was my first concert
as well. Same t well, the exact same concert. Yeah,
And I don't know if it my went and saw
because we visit family and Christian. She went along to
(31:02):
Lancaster Park back in those days when that was around
and saw it.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, I saw it at Trafalgar Park and Nelson.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Did she go to Nelson?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Tina Turner went to Nelson. It was nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
With Jimmy Barnes as well.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Wow, what was this?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Had they done this? Simply the best?
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:19):
That was that.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
That was time. That was the thing as well. So yeah, listen,
hell of a vision. Jimmy Barnes opened. I remember I
remembering a young kid going along and then tend to
play and then she brought him back out for for
that had a hot saxophone guy he was playing on stage,
and I don't remember hot sexophone guy. And I remember
(31:41):
she's the sex Awakening. It was really hot, really hot.
You know, sexophone guys are all thrusting here. Did you
try to eleven years old? She's the pelvis is doing
things to me? And I remember did you say that
a lot of smell was too and I was like,
wow was that smell? She was like, oh, this is
(32:03):
I remember the sega read or something got there?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
You know, stinks here?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
So did Ray ray teate you your mum?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
My appearents took me. I remember it so well because
I had as I was having a shower getting ready
for the concert, I got a beasting under my arm,
like in my armpit. So the whole concert, I'm like, oh,
I love her.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Oh my, how did did you have your up?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
And the bee sort of attext you while you and
the bee.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Was on my towel weirdly and as I died myself
it stung me. So I remember that the whole concert.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It ruined my day.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
That's an inconvenient stinging location.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I remember seeing her in like a silver dress and
her legs the sleep.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
She really hit the bloody regions. Yeah. So then that
was Megan and my one listen. I looking back on,
it was far too young to go to this concert.
I would have been thirteen fourteen, and it was like
ninety three ninety four.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
My mate was to go to Ciphers and this is
Cypress Hill. You're trying to get crazy with this, don't
you know? I'm not going.
Speaker 9 (33:07):
It was.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
A lot of concept for a fourteen year old, and
that would have been a lot of funny. Yeah, the
concert was inside, but it was very overcast, hazy conditions, right,
And I remember I was like, oh, these guys are great,
and there was things like logan Campbell set or something.
I bought the cassette and I came home and played
it and again I said another time my mother and
he pro was mortified.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I played the song. She's like, what is this? This
is the concept I've just been to.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Just throw that caste tape out now, I just stomp
on it and chack it in the rubbish.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But all right, that's what I produced, Taylor. Interesting first
concept for.

So it's a lot of drive too, you know, like
from Marston all the way up to Aukland to see
Michael Jackson. But hey, it was it was worth it.
Speaker 2 (34:44):

day that she wasn't on TV screens in the nineties.
It was just a normal haircliple. She put her name
in front.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's going to be so much of that this week.
Oh yeah, I remember. Okay, let's go ok just quickly nineties.
If you type in chat GP into chet GPT, what's
big about the nineties? Just quickly, here you go. I
mean you've got TV shows, friends, fresh prints, movies, Titanic,
Jurassic Park. Bands, You've got Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Britney Spears
came on the scene, Spice Gills, flannel shirts, flannel shits. Yeah,
(01:37):
baggy pants, overalls, bright colors, and neon. The internet became
a thing in the nineties as well. So that's what's
big about that decade. And then you go across to
the year two thousands. Sopranos lost, Lord of the Rings,
Harry Potter, Kanye West, Eminem, Beyonce, Lady Gaga. Yes, so
many things. Von Dutch was that one there, low rise
(02:01):

It's really exciting week this week because we're trying to

Then on Friday, depending on how you vote, we'll play
songs only from that decade in our show.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, some wonderful, wonderful nostalgia, grassroots up the guts nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
This week quite nice, as you said earlier this morning.
With a lot of you know, pretty bad stuff are
going on in the world right now, and you know,
cost of living and all that sort stuff, it's nice
to kind of reflect on a simpler time. So fiesco
out there, mate, it. It's a war zone out there.
Literally in some parts of the world, it is a
war zone.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And so you wanted to check out a competition where
we try and find a better TV show than Friends?
Can you name a better TV show than Friends? Because
it feels like that's the one that's on top of
TV mountain.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, we all know it. We know that, the theme song,
you know the characters. We've watched that fifty five million
times thanks to TV two playing nothing but Friends.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
They just put they just pressed it on Luke and
I did that for twenty years. Can anyone tell me
why Friends? If full stop are full stop? I what
was it with the full stops in betwe in the letters?
I just saw the logo this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I don't know, it's just it's just the logo.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Just don't beat me off with.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't know if the dots had any like significance.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Did they mean anything. I've looked into that. I've looked
at that. It looks like there's a forum on that
at the moment, so I see, Yeah, maybe I could
have done my own research there, not lifted to Ben
to do the heavy lifting.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
But yeah, can you name a better TV show than Friends?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Megan, I quite like Breaking Bad.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh yeah, with what's his face?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What's his face? Walter White?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Who's the actor? Oh whatslcome in the middle, Cranston. There
is a great TV show that's better than Friends, I
think so. I've watched all of it twice, whereas I don't.
Haven't watched all the Friends twice.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, what are we affecting in?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Is it personal opinion or affecting in the success of
the show.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You gotta be your personal Okay, this show is way
better than Friends. And I'm sure there are shows for
everyone that they find it better than Friends. Just a
quick bit of research on that they reckon. It was
just a stylistic choice. The folk stops in between Friends.
They didn't. Actually, it's not an acron or anything.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Meghan was right for instance, and another article I was
reading on Friends too, it was meant to be and
this is a show that could have been better than
Friends Seinfeld. It was meant to be a softer, more
broad appeal Seinfeld set in New York based around Friends.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I guess that kind of is yeah, a lot of ways.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And some would say Seinfeld was a better show. I'm
going to lock and personally and you can't argue with
the scess success of Friends, you're never going to beat it.
But the Office, all right, UK Office, And I decided
to pull this audio off my VHS for authenticity purposes,
So UK or US, I would say, the UK one,
(05:54):
though I have watched the US and it's hilarious as well,
took on a life of its own.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The Cosby Show, well, yeah, there was another huge, hug
huge show. But yeah, maybe thankfully probably more eighties than
the nineties, so that it might have actually seam tune.
Let's kind of move on for that. This one, how
about this one.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Story, all about it. I just loved Fresh Prince. I
thought it was a great show, you know, and I
happily watched that over Friends anyday.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, Fresh Prince was a great show, had some good gags,
and it didn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
We got to speak to Will Smith once, remember before
he slapped Chris Rock at the face, didn't we? And
we you managed to seamlessly. We even a Fresh Prince question.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We heard you grew up in Wist, Philadelphia, born and
on the playground.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
In the movie, there was a couple of guys and
they were up to go after that whack to the
face idiot.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
He played long with the hits that johnaan Ben podcast
trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Side which is the best decade, the nineties or the noughties.
To celebrate, we're going to be playing songs from only
that decade on Friday. And right now we're talking about
TV shows. One of the most famous, one of the
most iconic, seems to be friends these days. So we're
like names of TV show them friends.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Now here's a theory because someone's called and to multiple
people have called him about Bloody Mesh.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh yeah, do you remember Mesh?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I remember Mash five o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
It was always on and you'd have many choices and
channels back then, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, and you'd have to sit through Mesh to what
were just through Mesh for to get to the news.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I feel like it came on after probably the sort
of children's entertainments.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I wanted to watch TV too. My dad was always like, oh,
watch Mash. I just remember that guy going I know nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, that's hero.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Oh I don't even know the.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Same. That was another war buddy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, that's the same. They had hot lips, Tula hand
A Mesh. Yeah, she had hot lips. That's what they
called it. Yeah, wow, Yeah, that was her nickname. And
then they had a corporal Klinger.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That was that was was it? I don't know. We
were children watching this.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It was finished in nineteen eighty three and they were
still playing in the ninety ninety. So here's my theory.
Friends is in that slip stream at the moment of
that nostalgia for many people. But can you name a
better show than Friends? We're going to kick it off
with you, Wade.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
How are you good to have you on?
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Way?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, we're doing well. What was it? Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I wouldn't say a TV show, but more like a series.
I'd find shameless say it was a really good series.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Though shameless better than Friends.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It's just a bunch of low la people, you know,
trying to make a bigger laugh. And it's got a
lot of good characters in there.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I've heard a lot of talk around shame. Let's never
actually sat down to watch himself.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Go from the beer the guy as he's he's on.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
There's Jeremy Allen White.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Yeah, oh yeah, that's what they called him.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Frank.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Hey, well, thank you, Wade, appreciate that. Let's get Natasha
on better show than Friends, Natasha the.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Big Bang theory.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Once there's another massive show. I never really got into it,
not because it just never gave it a chance, but
it's massive.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
I don't think I don't think it's better than Friends
because I love Friends, but I think it's kind of
on par with like the next sort.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Of generational sort of yeah right, very similar sort of
setup with characters.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Same as you've been.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I never watched an episode, but it was always one,
so I was like, good on you for being around consistency. Well,
thank you very much, Tatasha, Chris, a better show than Friends?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
What have you got?
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I'm not the Simpsons?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yes, probably is. Actually I kind of start it in
the eighties, but it still continues to go like Friends.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It's still going.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, you're right, in new episodes all the time. They're
still making great episodes. It's a great show.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
As long as politicians keep having an affair, the Simpsons
will keep going.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It don't very clever show. Hey, Christy, you're the Simpsons.
You probably know it. You said this Bo's Megan.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Sopranos is a great show.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, No, I'm going to reflect more on that one.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It was was that nineties. I feel like I was
quite young to be watching like gangster stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
For us to come in with some stuff that I
thought you were going to be like, yeah, I was
a good show.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
We thought you were going to roll on with why
it was a good show. You just reflected and thought
about it for a moment. It was nice.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But I was just thinking, yeah, I was very young
to be watching that kind of action happening on the TV.
But I remember it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Maybe it's just named show to go. That was a
good show. And then nothing else that was a good show.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It was a good job and recreation that's a good show.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Talking all week just reflecting this Solgia and before I.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Died, the hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
We're trying to decide which was the best decade with
your help, the nineties or the noughties. We're running some polls,
so if you hit to our social media as well,
you can vote on that. And we're also giving ourselves
a little bit of a competition between the three of
us to see if we can get a message for
someone from one of those errors. The best guest by
the end of the week, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
No one wanted the Sadminds tracking down celebrities.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Him from a radio station and news.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, how where's the bar set up to you? Just kidding?
You need to get a better guest than than the previous. Okay, okay,
all right, so you set the barrow wherever you want
to set the bar some of it from the nineties
of the noughties. Well, as soon as we get get
in it, we can start playing them throughout the week.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
He's getting a friend, Jennifer Anderson, David shwoman.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Man, imagine if you got them would jeez reminiscing this
week the nineties visits the naughties, And we were just
talking off here about both our mothers, all of our
mother's Probably Ray Ray got into these as well. There
the Miami Wine callers. Boy, oh boy, that was a
drink from yester year. Now the Powers before Powers basically
(11:55):
wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
There was?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, there was basically just wine mixed with lemonade. It
was like a spritzer.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's wine spritzer.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, bubbly. I remember my dad used to give me
shandies with you know, that is beer and lemonade. And
apparently if you add lemonade any alcohol, that lessens the
parental guilty feeding children alcohol.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
But you go gateway to get you into drinking too.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Good Gateway but sweet.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
But you know develop I feel tingly. I feel funny
that mate, you can get less and less lemonade.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But the Miami Wine Callers I remember because Mum will
go to the alcohol shop and then the lovely gentleman
behind the counter at the alcohol shop would give her
the big giant cardboard cutouts of the Miami Wine Caller
bottles and we could slide, We could slide down the
stairs on the cardboard cutouts. That was that was entertained.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You think it was from Miami or not? The wine
didn't scream front.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Did your moms get the bottles? Because my mum got
a cask. All the cask could sit in the fridge
and when she wasn't looking, I just like mouthed, I
just like out of the cask.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I would have been young there. I love the empty
cast too because you can blow them up and use
them as floatation devices. And the pollo.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, yeah, your mum used to dress you and Joseph. Yeah.
She payed for the indoor cricket team in Marceden and
was sponsored by Joseph Coots the beer brand. It's not
around anymore. So I remember that you said this Joseph
Coots beer, so God wear the T shirt again? What
is the child wearing a beer branded tea?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
So you would play for the indoor cricket town Again.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I get roped because and they dressed up and Joseph
at the end, I wouldn't be part of it. They
used to get a dozen beer at the end of
the indoor cricket game. And then what wasn't for me.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That was that when did we get all high and
mighty about alcohol and smoke sponsoring sport? Remember had the
Benson and he just tennis and open I think after
we sat there to stop for a singing break Winfield Cup.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, maybe when we got stats of how bad it
is for you.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
It's packaging, yeah, ran new.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, so actually I've measured that one will work. Some
of these things are from the nineties and don't work,
but that'll that'll work. I think that was early two thousands. Yeah, yeah,
it's a got you Temagucci. I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
As we mentioned already, we're looking back at what was
the best decade the nineteen nineties or the noughties, and
on Friday we get to play NonStop songs from from
that decade. Megan for you, Yes, what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
All over all music, it's very hard.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
We're talking about that before, and I was like, I
feel like for me, the music's better. But then in
the nineties, TV shows from the nineties were really good,
So you.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Like the music from the two thousands. Music was probably
decre in some ways in the two thousands, but I
love the nineties because it's just it's kind of cheesier
and little basic. You're just like doors were unlocked. It
was a safer time. Technology was definitely a lot better
in the two thousands.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
TV theme songs were better in the nineties. Yea, they
were iconic TV show theme songs.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well right now, thanks to the team here at that
Hits them purchased a whole bunch of old prizes off
trade me, and we've got a Tamagotchi up for grabs, a.

we're going to play an old school radio game. This
is Battle of the Sexes.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Not the battle I always want to do the Bettle
of the sexists on the rock to misogynists. Oh, I
couldn't quite figure it.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Out, don't give them a play.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
How the game went from there? But better the sexes.
This was a game very popular on radio, wasn't it
back in the day. I don't know if it has
it still the test of time.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
They kind of di versions of it now it's more
trading versus lady now.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, right, So what they are generally stereotyped questions? So Megan,
I would ask you what would be cliched stereotype male questions? Maybe,
and then being I would ask you what would be
the same stereotype female questions.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
We'll kind of moved past that.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Well, no we haven't because we're playing it right now.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Susan Paul is with us.
Speaker 2 (22:01):

Speaker 1 (22:20):
She's here as well.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Hello, Susan, all lovely, Hi Megan, are you having time?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I am? Thank you?
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Oh god.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Susanna's most most days help me out of five?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, two out of five.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's a good average.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Susan lovely here, voice always so positive and uplifting. And
this week we're having a bit of a competition. The
nineties v the noughties, in which was the better period
in history. And you came over here from the UK
with a can do attitude.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And no money, right, you pretty much turned up here
with nothing right.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
That's right, nothing's changed that.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Were you selling vacuum cleaner's daughter door? Was that one
of your original jobs?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I did, yes, Kirby vacuum cleaners daughter door, I did, yeah.
But then when I got here, I thought, oh, I
think I could make something of myself here, and the
people are nice, and it was all a bit you know,
behind the times in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I thought, still, so, how did you make the jump
from selling vacuums daughter door to being on our screens?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Well, I started with the vacuum cleaners, and then I
bought in my own products to sell from overseas. So
it was products i'd sold before, vibrating massage pillows, you know, choppers, slices, dieters.
And I was a sales demonstrator. I have been since
I was eighteen. So I started working at trade shows
and exhibitions, you know, like Home Show and the Field Days,
(23:51):
demonstrating products and gadgets. And then I had a business
partner and he said, if I filmed you doing these
demonstrations that you're doing in the shopping malls and at
the shows, we can put put them on TV, you know, adverts,
and then we wouldn't have to shop all around these shows.
You could just sit on our asses, you know, and
(24:12):
make all the money.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So Natural Glow, how did you stumble across Natural Glow?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
Yes? I made natural Glow because I came here burnt
to a fousle in the sun and thought not having
this bronzing powders didn't exist then. I know, it seems strange,
but they didn't, so nobody had one, so I got
it made.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And yeah, this was actually just your idea.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You're like, I'm going to make a powder.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Did soon that.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Paul create bronzing powders?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Wow, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
And New Zeeland in particular, like a two minute infomercials
weren't really a thing until you sort of came along
with natural Glow.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Right now, do you still because natural Glow is natural
Glow still out there?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
No? No, Because we stilled the whole company and sold
the whole shebang. Glow went with this and they never
continued with this.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Have you still got a pot of natural Glow?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I have?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Yeah, I still got a plot in a big blue
brush that you get absolutely free if you cor now.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Blue Monkey as well. We can't forget about the song
You're nineteen.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Ninety four mother you did. I'm trying hard to get
about it.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Loads of fun, very sweat, very sweat love The Blue Monkey. Now,
what how did the Blue Monkey eventuate?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And what is a blue Monkey?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
It sounds like some sort of initiation that I'd have
to do at university, it does it.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
It was actually a nightclub friend and I used go
to yeah called the Blue Monkey, and this said friend
was visiting me at the time for some reason. Now,
alcohol we had in the House of Port, and we
drank this whole bottle of port and by the end
of the night we'd come up with the idea of
this song and this down and called it the Blue Monkey.
Needless to say, I've never drank porting.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I've got Susan Paul with us.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
What I'd really admire about you is so many people
have ideas and they never act on them, and you
actually go and you get off your butt and you
go and do them.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Yes, I have no fear of failure whatsoever. If I
think of something, I think, oh, yeah'll do that, And
even if I don't know how to do it, I
always think, well, I know how to take the first step. Don't.
I could just do that and then see what happened,
to see where that leads. I think people get overwhelmed,
they make plamers and they think, oh my god, this
plan is so huge. I don't know what to do,
(26:36):
so they don't do anything, and I just think of
it and think, yeah, what's the first thing I could do.
What's the first step I could take? Okay, take it
and away I go again.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But wait, there's more. There's always more. That is a
great call.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Great attitude in life, Susie and Paul is always It's
a joy to check with you on the phone and
really appreciate you you being on the show this morning.
Speaker 6 (26:59):
Thank you, Thank you, Thanks guys, love you short with
you again.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
It's the johnaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Now the nineties VI the noughties, that's the theme this week.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Thanks to you.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We're going to help decide which was the bitter period
in life, in time and history. You know, you look
at the wild the wild crap still we're living in
at the moment, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
What have we done to the world.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You know, we're just trying to reflect on a happier,
simpler time. And there wasn't online dating in the nineties.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
It wasn't a thing, was it. No, you're right, it was.
We didn't know about Tinder, all those sorts of things.
I mean, mobile phones weren't even really a thing until
the two thousands here in New Celand.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I don't even know how you how did you show
your genitals to strangers? And you supposed you to go
down to the park and do it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
In real life? Do you take a picture on a like,
on a camera and get a Kodak or something, take.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
It down then hand deliver it. It feels very confronted.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Also, dating, a lot of dating was written on a
toilet's wall, you know, for a good time, call yes true,
you know, and take you out to many parts or
whatever they thought was a good time.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And these were late night ads right some before dating
apps and Tinder and all those sort of bumble. These
these were played late night on the Telly and you
remember both of these, right. Hot Gossip party Line.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I never even called the Hot Gossip party line.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I felt like it was It was there for.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Teenagers who were wanting to prank people and pervy old
dudes haven't listened.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
To Hot Gossip.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
A lot of parties on the beach last year summer.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Really you were interested in that sort of stuff.

Gossip live chat line. Girls called Wellington four double nine
three two four eight, Guys called Wellington four double nine
three two four seven. Fine new friends, make a date
Hot Gossip chat line. It's fun and free for a
limited time.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Call Now there were going got into a bit of
a hole about Hot Gossip, into some feedback on a
forum online. Some guy here met a lovely Vietnamese from Wellington.
She said, can I live in your house for two weeks?
Ten years later we're still married.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Because I didn't realize that was free listening back to it.
But can we call that number? Now? Shall we try?
It's four Grace. I just wrote down four double night
three two four eight. It's probably someone's landline.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
The gossip's gone cold, and this.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
One as well. Now this one costs you about three
dollars a minute for this line, this particular line, this
will play every night. You remember the jingle come on
call us join the party, Come on Carl.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Come on, come on Corla, And I just see that
on repeat.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Really stuck into you your head, right. I was an
heir of a jingle, wasn't it? So that was that
was three dollars a minute, that one, whereas Hot Gossip
they were giving it for a limited time. They were free. Yeah,
what's only one hundred and forty forty forty? Is that
still going? Grace? We'll try to actually a party or.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Are you just connecting with one person?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh much? Again, I never rate if you ever did
break it four four eight seven loved to her this morning?
Oh oh no, it doesn't work either. It just cut off.
These things from the nineties don't exist.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
In Rip the Hats, the Johona and Ben podcast, we're.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Looking this week which was the best decade the nineties
or the noughties, and then on Friday we're going to
play music from that decade.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Talking to some wonderful names from year to year too.
Throughout the week, you said, Susan Paul infomercial queen on
on the show, and right now your first concert. This
is what we're the nostalgic trip down memory lanes.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It's a lot of fun actually reflecting on these things.
So that's what we want you to do this morning.
Oh eight hundred the Hats four for eight seven. What
was the first concert you went along too. Now, Megan,
you said what your first concert was, and then I
was like, oh my goodness, that was my first concert
as well. Same t well, the exact same concert. Yeah,
And I don't know if it my went and saw
because we visit family and Christian. She went along to
(31:02):
Lancaster Park back in those days when that was around
and saw it.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah, I saw it at Trafalgar Park and Nelson.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Did she go to Nelson?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Tina Turner went to Nelson. It was nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
With Jimmy Barnes as well.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Wow, what was this?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Had they done this? Simply the best?
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:19):
That was that.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
That was time. That was the thing as well. So yeah, listen,
hell of a vision. Jimmy Barnes opened. I remember I
remembering a young kid going along and then tend to
play and then she brought him back out for for
that had a hot saxophone guy he was playing on stage,
and I don't remember hot sexophone guy. And I remember
(31:41):
she's the sex Awakening. It was really hot, really hot.
You know, sexophone guys are all thrusting here. Did you
try to eleven years old? She's the pelvis is doing
things to me? And I remember did you say that
a lot of smell was too and I was like,
wow was that smell? She was like, oh, this is
(32:03):
I remember the sega read or something got there?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
You know, stinks here?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
So did Ray ray teate you your mum?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
My appearents took me. I remember it so well because
I had as I was having a shower getting ready
for the concert, I got a beasting under my arm,
like in my armpit. So the whole concert, I'm like, oh,
I love her.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Oh my, how did did you have your up?
Speaker 2 (32:25):
And the bee sort of attext you while you and
the bee.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Was on my towel weirdly and as I died myself
it stung me. So I remember that the whole concert.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It ruined my day.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
That's an inconvenient stinging location.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I remember seeing her in like a silver dress and
her legs the sleep.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
She really hit the bloody regions. Yeah. So then that
was Megan and my one listen. I looking back on,
it was far too young to go to this concert.
I would have been thirteen fourteen, and it was like
ninety three ninety four.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
My mate was to go to Ciphers and this is
Cypress Hill. You're trying to get crazy with this, don't
you know? I'm not going.
Speaker 9 (33:07):
It was.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
A lot of concept for a fourteen year old, and
that would have been a lot of funny. Yeah, the
concert was inside, but it was very overcast, hazy conditions, right,
And I remember I was like, oh, these guys are great,
and there was things like logan Campbell set or something.
I bought the cassette and I came home and played
it and again I said another time my mother and
he pro was mortified.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I played the song. She's like, what is this? This
is the concept I've just been to.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Just throw that caste tape out now, I just stomp
on it and chack it in the rubbish.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But all right, that's what I produced, Taylor. Interesting first
concept for.
Speaker 10 (33:41):
You, Yep, Avril n it would have been like not
and I feel and my mom took me, were you
a skater girl?
Speaker 3 (33:53):

this week, trying to find which was the best dickade.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Being you're also saying you along to and probably made
you the showman you are today. Michael Jackson. Jeez, that's
a lot of concept for a boy from Martenden to go.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
So it's a lot of drive too, you know, like
from Marston all the way up to Aukland to see
Michael Jackson. But hey, it was it was worth it.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
But what you do there though, that's one of your
first concerts. You've really sit the bar high with Jackson.
He would have had all the theatrics and everything did.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
He quite an entertainer. You're right when you go to
Christmas and Park and Christmas the Park the next to
you know, it's good.
