Speaker 1 (00:01):
With the John and Ben Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Cheers to Delmark making the world a bitter tea.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
The Warrior has been getting a bit of a hard
time this week.

Speaker 4 (00:08):
You're saying, yeah that you know, huge Warriors fans. I
love the Warriors. It's ninety five and you know, they
didn't have a great game. They'll be the first time,
but they didn't have a great game on the weekend.

Speaker 5 (00:17):
But that's whats in sports, and no one you always
got to think about these scenarios when someone publicly doesn't succeed,
No one's more disappointed in themselves than the people who
are doing And the thing, Yeah, you're right that you're
all disappointed about.

Speaker 6 (00:30):
They wanted to win.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Their livelihoods are you know, live and die by their
results on the field, you know, So that yeah, like
us every.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Day we're out here living and dying by each word
we say.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
And the Warriors have very passionate fans, which is awesome.
But then sometimes the passion can go the other way
and get into negativity and get quite brutal.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh yeah, sometimes you look at the comments like sack
this guy really, you know in their guy's career, hire
this guy did this?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Just really needsy to coach for a comedy section.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, the keyboard Warriors pretty much aren't they online? And
you know Sean Johnson, the one usual keyboard worries. Yes, sorry,
I get the sponsorship in there. But Sean Johnson, you know,
a great legendary league player. What was the like arguably
the best player in the NRAL last year, Like he
could have won, you know, the big main prize for
that one, and then all of a sudden, you know,
he's been injured, and you know, maybe he hasn't been
playing as well as in the past, but he's been

(01:16):
injured and he is coppiing it and he posted last night.

Speaker 7 (01:21):
Really, I thought it was really good to get it
out there, he said, Just like you.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I see the comment comments and damn some of you
of savage if you want, of those people who find
comfort and slamming others online. I hope everything is okay.
Your words don't carry weight this time round, but you
could for the next person you choose to spew your
negativity on, think before your type.

Speaker 7 (01:36):
He goes on. But yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
I mean, he's obviously like at a stage in his
career where he can can deal with that. But he
shouldn't have to deal with that, you know, and we're
so quicked to go. You know, he was a player
that we can't do without, and it'll be back. He's
a great player.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
So do you know, for someone who doesn't follow league
that much, I remember not that long ago everyone going
on about how amazing, like two seconds ago, and because
you know they have a bad game, you.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Wait, wait untill they win this week. Then it'll be
a complete chill.

Speaker 8 (02:06):
Comments.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
Appreciate the highs.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
I tried to defend them on the comment section and
produce the taters like you didn't not under your actual name.

Speaker 8 (02:14):
I was trying to turn the tie.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
Yeah did you actually comment? Yeah, Oh that's nice.

Speaker 8 (02:18):
Nice stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I was kind of just saying that the comments, although
very negative, are in a strange way coming from a loving,
passionate place. Yeah, and the fans can be very harsh,
but they're very harsh because they love the team so much.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
But sometimes they need to think that's real people behind there,
and you know what they can do to real people. Obviously,
Sean Johnson feels like he can he can handle it.
We shouldn't have to handle it. So yeah, but think
about that.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
You could just turn the comment section off on the internet,
and it would be a fair happier place.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
I think so, wouldn't it. I think it would be,
wouldn't it. It would be nice. And so you can't comment
on anything.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
Do we need it?

Speaker 7 (02:50):
Comments off? Do we need it?

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Do the likes and comments off?

Speaker 5 (02:55):
There is a lot of joy and bullying your favorite celebrities,
but you could you could turn it off.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
Think about it.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
So, yeah, you get support the warriors back again this weekend.

Speaker 8 (03:04):
Sorry to keep talking over you.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
When interviewed Pink, you know, international pop star, and she
said something favorable that just Cinder are doing, She's like,
oh my god, the hateful messages I got telling me
to kill myself and all this.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
She's Pink, Yeah, and she was like, I was just
trying to support another you know, successful female and the
anll of a sudden, I'm getting involved in a whole
lot of stuff.

Speaker 8 (03:22):
I said, sorry, I didn't mean to see that to you,
and I think you're going to read.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Days ago if we could see if we could get
immortalized in cartoon form. Rod Emerson, he does amazing cartoons
for the New Zealand Herald. You see him every day
in the paper on online, and we caught up with
him and we asked him if we could get he
could do a cartoon of.

Speaker 5 (03:51):

the favorite politicians of his to draw.

Speaker 4 (03:56):

Speaker 9 (04:00):
Well, some people are impossible to draw. Luxeon is fantastic.
He's so easy to.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
Just a big old bald head, well like a thumb.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Thumb and I.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Could draw cartoons of us? Is that something that you
could go away and potentially do?

Speaker 9 (04:23):
It has a possibility, right, And possibly some of you
do have a face that sort of automatically lends itself
to being characatured.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Who looks looks you're more thumbl like without your head
on that Jo.

Do you bring them out for Amanda?

Speaker 6 (06:46):

First off, here we're going just remember airport or the bedroom. Okay,
the first one. Here, We're going down. We're going down.
We are repeat, we are going down.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
Thinks you can say the bedroom at the airport.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
There is a slight delay due to mechanical failure.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Found's a lot better calling it mechanical failure, especially if
you're on a Boeing. Thinks you say the bedroom at
the airport, do you consent to a full cavity search?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
The answer is always always for security purposes.

Speaker 8 (07:51):
I don't even know if I can say this one
most the time. Brace yourself.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
It's a bit slippery on the landing strip today.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
We're going to be bording from the rear safety system
at home.

Speaker 7 (08:07):
What's that in the garage, I've got red food pants
from that.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
I thought it was.

Speaker 11 (08:14):
Well.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
He likes to seat belty and I keep thinking safe
and it's.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
Just making a cheap from the roof. Things you can
say in the bedroom at the airports. A couple more.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
Sorry, that's oversized. You're going to need to pay extra
for that.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
Would you like to take a look at the cockpit?

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Are the extents they are located? Here?

Speaker 12 (08:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (08:34):
And here one more job three?

Speaker 13 (08:37):
Three?

Speaker 7 (08:37):
Yeah, I thought that's on the plane.

Speaker 8 (08:40):
I don't know it's three exactly.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
That's one more. Let's pressure off.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I didn't feel I didn't feel like he was going
to get up there for a minute.

Speaker 7 (08:50):
And that's things you can say in the bedroom and at.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
The airports that Joan ben podcast produce Taylor and you're
just telling us why that song was playing about a
new tree on TikTok.

Speaker 14 (09:01):
Yes, so it's all over my feed.

Speaker 15 (09:02):
So it's called raw dogging it on a plane specifically,
And a lot of people now as they head off
to their euro summers and all that fun stuff, they're
challenging themselves to get through a long haul flight with
no TV, no magazines, no books, no music, nothing, and
they literally just either steer out the window or steer

(09:23):
in front of them for fifteen plus hours.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Well, it's pretty much how the Prome Minister travels on that.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, we see them overseas, that's I guess.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
It's a nice time.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
I find it a nice I don't watch anything on
the planes, and it frustrates them to know it.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
You watch my screen and.

Speaker 14 (09:42):
Do you turn the subtitles on for it? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Good?

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Don't steering at people. I like watching people sleep with
their mouths over them.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Do you listen? Are you doing this? You don't listen
to anything?

Speaker 8 (09:56):
No, generally not No.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
I will do work on the computer, so I'm not
gonna completely ruwed dogging it.

Speaker 8 (10:01):
Yeah, I'm just dogging it.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, but you.

Speaker 8 (10:04):
Know I won't. You really won't engage the entertainment.

Speaker 7 (10:07):
Best way to pass the time is watching a movie
because and also.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Like I'm like, oh, I've always wanted to watch that movie,
I've never had time, or I want to watch that
series or listen to that something.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
Anyone else wants to watch that?

Speaker 12 (10:17):
You?

Speaker 7 (10:17):
Oh cool, I get to.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Watch this and I have to forced me time.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, my na have to go. Just the family want
to watch this one? And what I'm like, cool, I
can watch it?

Speaker 7 (10:24):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:25):
So if your all dogged it, never.

Speaker 15 (10:27):
Oh my god, I can't be alone with my thoughts
for like five minutes.

Speaker 14 (10:30):
That's why I'm always talking to you guys in the break.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
You're a flying place.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah, there's a long heating to the UK. You're talking
like eighteen hours and that's a big trip.

Speaker 15 (10:41):
That's a mental challenge and a half. If you can
get through that, I reckon you could get through anything
in life.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
You're in a fragile state at that altitude, Like if
you watch a sad movie, it really ruins you. So
like sitting there, you start thinking what am I doing
with my life? I'm this old and I've done nothing like.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
You do like a really Dutch face, and you get
more emotional on a plane.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Yeah, the altitude is that what it is to get
more drunk, more emotional?

Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, he cried on a plane with heaps, Like I
feel like not every movie I watched the plane something
not legit Jesus.

Speaker 8 (11:16):
Really.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
I don't know if it's the intenseness of listening to
headphones and where it is, but I just you're always crying.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Even the safety video he's so.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
I didn't want to be folded my master on safety video.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
Maybe the fourteen before you.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, you do get more drunk too, They say like
one in the year is like no other way around
two and no, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (11:48):
Yeah, double safe, it's like two on the ground on
the ground.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
It sounds like a fun time to.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Meet the heads that Joan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Around the Grande pop star at the moment, was on
a podcast and was asked a whole bunch of questions
and one of them was like, who would be a
dinner guest you'd like to have to talk to at
dinner at dinner time? And she said, and she's coppying
the bit online for this serial killer Jeffrey Dama, And
they're just because she's fascinated by him and would like
to pick his brain, basically, not saying that there'd be

(12:22):
BFFs or anything on you, Like, that's disgusting.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Problem is what does Dama do with you after dinner?
Because he's a cannibal. You know, maybe you will.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
Be during dinner.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah, if the dinner party lasts is long. Who what
serial murder would you invite to dinner?

Speaker 7 (12:37):
Probably it's probably not my You.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Don't really like I'd go. John Wayne Gacy is the clown,
the clown guy here. You know, he comes with a
bit of shows, a few tricks.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Probably Tim Bundy, right because he was cute.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, that's cuteness with serial killers.

Speaker 7 (12:52):
Zac Efron played him on Yeah he.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Was charismatic, and then you're like, oh, actually no, he's
not a nice man.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Now you're a little bit speaking of serial serial killers
and all things like that.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
You've been a bit obsessed lately with you. Yeah, I
saw it.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
It's been thirty years since the Bain murders, and I
don't know what got me onto this, but you and
I have been listening to Black Hands, which was a
podcast done by stuff about those murders. The thing is,
I get into these, like sometimes the documentaries on Netflix
or whatever, or now I'm into this podcast and I

(13:25):
get so into it I can't It's like a bock.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
I can't put it down.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
So now I've found myself making dinner and my kids
are playing around.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
I'm listening in headphones. I don't have the gruesome details,
but I've got.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Like headphones on and I'm listening to like gruesome stuff
while I'm like jimming, I'm making dinner for my kids.
Like even kind of before I got a bid.

Speaker 8 (13:46):
You do a smile on your face for ten years.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
It's just so fascinating, And I don't know what it
says about me that I'm so fascinated by all these
like true crime docos, so you'll.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
Watch you'll happily watch those on Netflix or anything like that.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't like scary movies.

Speaker 7 (14:03):
But it's weird.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Because often yet scary movies aren't They're not real most times.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And I've read that like most women, it's more like
women who are into true crime.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
And apparently it's because we think we might learn something, you.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Might be able to solve the crime. Thy years, I
think I've got it.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
We fancy ourselves like detectives.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
What was it when we all went and on over
Lockdown was Carol Beskin's.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Husband, Tiger came over here in New Zealand. We've set
up investigation centers.

Speaker 7 (14:36):
We solved it all.

Speaker 8 (14:37):
Whatever happened to that?

Speaker 7 (14:38):
Well, yeah, well I think Squeak came along or something
and we moved to another show.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
He went to prison.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
Hey, coming up next, we.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Need to talk to someone who played the Alpha Quiz
with Madi and PJ afternoons show on the Hits the
other day, and they had a bit of a shocker
and there's a reason behind it why they had.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
A bit of a shocker. They'll bring up to speed
with that next.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
The Hits that Jonavan Ben podka.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
A very awkward incident that's gone viral over the last
twenty four hours was in a UFC fight and the
Czech Republic. A fighter had lost the fight actually, and
then decided to propose, get down on one knee on
the blooded canvas of the UFC octagon and proposed to
his girlfriend in front of twenty thousand people.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Nothing sexier than when your partner loses a fight, covered
in blood and sweat and broken nose and decides that
that's the moment.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yeah, she said in front of everyone. She looked a
little nervous, she looked an embarrassed by but she said,
based on everything that's happened, I think probably not here
it is obviously it's not in English, but this was
the moment that.

Speaker 16 (15:41):
Happened, and a crowd security to get out of there.

Speaker 8 (16:00):
Some people just boeing our check.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Audience appreciated that too a few words. So that was
obviously her saying, listen, after all that's happened, I think.

Speaker 7 (16:08):
Probably not now now.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Everyone was like, well, that was quite harsh, but seems
like a bit of a backstory. According to some people
that know a bit more than we do, he may
have straight he may have you know, cheated on.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
It pantsman, maybe.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Falling around the octagon with another person. And what was
I going to say, pause that you had something really really.

Speaker 8 (16:30):
Important to.

Speaker 7 (16:33):
Pray.

Speaker 8 (16:33):
You've got nothing. You've got nothing, but you sounded important and.

Speaker 7 (16:38):
That thought. That's fine.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Joe Biden, someone being Biden dear right now, like keep talking,
say some words, but there's what we want to check out.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Their extreme proposals.

Speaker 8 (16:49):
I know eight hundred and hits, your proposals extreme.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
I know you you you vehemently didn't want Andrew to
propose to you on the radio.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
Megan, I'm not weirdly.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Because I'm an attention seeking leo. But I didn't want
a public proposal. I made that very definitely, not on
the radio. That was what I say yes, I was
not going to say no.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Well, when you want to get proposed to in a
radio studio, the in con unit pumping Legioneer's disease in here.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
I was playing over and over, and you know on
the station.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
It's for some people, it's not for each year.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
It's probably hard to gauge some time. I mean you
hopefully you know your partner willough what that kind of
appreciate and listen, since this guy maybe.

Speaker 8 (17:25):
Didn't he's gone.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
He obviously wanted to go in there win the fight
when the woman and then he's come out with zero
for two.

Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yes he's maybe I didn't win the fight. Maybe I
can pull things back, but no.

Speaker 8 (17:36):
Extreme proposals.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
So I knew you were winning Rome.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Oh yeah, and Rome, we were traveling through Amanda, Amanda
and I now my wife obviously, yeah in Rome, and
I was like, Rome provided a wonderful romantic sitting, just
a wonderful room. But it was at the time because
you weren't allowed to travel with a lot of a
lot of stuff, so it was to go through. So
I had to kind of secretly keep this ring for
a few weeks. And that was That was probably the
toughest thing do that.

Speaker 6 (18:00):
And streets well, traveling.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Especially I got like because I had had dreadlocks at
the time too, which is not you know, and so
every time you get like a random search of the airport,
you'll excuse me your bags, and you're like, and you
know it's give and all the other rest. How can
he got dreadlocks? And so the guy started going through
my bag. It was like, I think it wasn't the
Chick Republic.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
Your wife's standing there, little box.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
He's got to get the ring I said. I said
to a man, I was real, firsty, could you go
get a drink from the vending machine. She's like okay,
and obviously went, And then I had to try and
explain to the guy and yeah, there's a ring. I
didn't want her to see, but otherwise it would have
been very romantic. Another Czech Republic proposal and the airport security.

Speaker 8 (18:38):
Yeah, proposed to in customs.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
So this is why we want to check out there
the extreme proposals. Did someone go big and it maybe
didn't pay off? Because sometimes my theory is, you know
a lot of those celebrity ones, the bigger they go
with the proposal, the more doomed the marriage.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
You look at.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Kanye Hi, the entire stadium had an orchestra playing his
own music on the on the big jumbo tron. It
had please plees, merry me, and capitals like when my
daughter's texting me asking for a sleepover.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
And unfortunately that didn't pan out too well.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Did it? The hats the Jonathan ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
We're talking extreme proposals. After a guy, a UFC fighter
and Czech Republic lost the fight and also lost. They
took took an hour with the marriage proposal as well,
didn't he?

Speaker 5 (19:23):
I love it because this clip is certainly not lost
in translation. Have listened to the moment he proposed and
she politely declined, we came to see someone getting knocked

(19:46):
out in some love my two favorite things romance and
vicious blood sports.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
Very awkward spot for it to be.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
And if he had, in fact, you know, cheated on
now and then got publicly proposed.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
That maybe he just scaling on the theory, I will
go boog ye go book.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
She could I mean, in that position, Megan, if that
was happening to you and the backstory of the philandering
had taken place, what would you do?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Do you say yes and make them feel better in
the moment and say no later? If he cheated on her,
I would have seemed worse to be honest before you're
a cheaterh.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
No, Well, we're talking proposals this morning.

Speaker 8 (20:25):
We'll go to Allen. You're on welcome Ela, Hell, yeah,
we're doing well now?

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Uh you little romantic puppy?

Speaker 8 (20:33):
You what did you do?

Speaker 12 (20:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (20:36):
It was in Paris nears eve and and went up
Newear's Day couple Eiffel Tower and proposed to Mike Gilfrey.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
Up there, What a beautiful spot.

Speaker 11 (20:47):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Did everyone turn and clap for you?

Speaker 11 (20:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (20:51):
Yeah, they sort of didn't. I was there with her
mate was here with us, sing yes if he wanted
to go around, if I wanted to go around the
other side the town, I said, maybe his fist the
other people, you might as well stay as well and watch.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Your mate was there as well, awkwardly. Yeah, oh that's
not And how did the relationship goes?

Speaker 8 (21:11):
Still married?

Speaker 17 (21:12):
Yeah, still married, three kids.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
Oh, there we go go proposal.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Yeah, that is a nip proposal, Thank you so much.
Going public as a risk too. Were you're saying you
started to get incosted by some sort of peddler trying
to sell you over priced ros roses?

Speaker 7 (21:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Because I did it quietly to Amanda in Rome and
then amandages lightly.

Speaker 6 (21:28):
At the TRVI Fountain with hundreds of other peoples.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, quietly, you know, like just a nice moment between
the two of us. And then she was like, oh,
you didn't get down on one knee, just giving me
some grief. So I had to do it again, and
that's when the Hawker where there's roses, was like Jackpote.
This guy, he's going to buy all of these. And
then he was pretty much part of our I think
he's still living with us.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
That guy was he part of proposal?

Speaker 8 (21:50):
He was very much so the love Sniper, Oh.

Speaker 18 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, and the nine and whatever ninety six and

and by the time we went down, he come over
and convinceed me with the a ring that it brought
from the toy shop, one.

Speaker 8 (23:06):
Of the toy shops. Yeah, what was the ring?

Speaker 18 (23:10):
A plastic pretend diamond?

Speaker 12 (23:12):
Was awesome?

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (23:14):
Is this is this what you can continue to wear
or see up.

Speaker 18 (23:17):
Done, upgraded twenty two years later. But no, I don't
wear it.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
It's really lovely, almost like a really cool sentimental thing
that you've got this little toy toy. Well, I tell
you a rather more random thing than just off topic here.
But I remember like when my wife was pregnant with
our first with you know, we didn't realize she was pregnant.
We were at a basketball game. I bought her a drink,
like an RCD can and she was like, I haven't
told him yet because she just found out. She was

(23:42):
going to tell afterwards, and so she's kept this can
unopened since it was random ARSID can. There's this sense
of the carriage because that was the thing. She was like,
I'm going to tell you something about it. I was like, well,
she's not drinking anyway to tell me the later.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
So there you go.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
I'm surprised you didn't found the cruise. You're not going
to drink that.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
I didn't even know. I was drinking beers watching basketball.
No idea she wants to drinking. Oh that's incredible.

Speaker 8 (24:07):
You literally fell in love. That's a wonderful story.

Speaker 18 (24:10):
Kay, something like that. You have my hangover that morning.

Speaker 8 (24:13):
Anyway, there's a lot to take in.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Jeez, very cool story. Thank you for sharing.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
You're welcome the hits that Jona wan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
There's a movie out this week. Actually, it looks incredible.
It tells the story of a very heated period in
New Zealand history, the land Wars that went on in
the Waikato in the eighteen sixties, and it stars the
legendary Tim Morrison. It's called Fi Fi Tanu.

Speaker 13 (24:43):
Dark.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
This looks fantastic and the wonderful Tim Aweater Morrison joins
us on the phone.

Speaker 8 (25:00):
Now more than now, more than brothers.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
Oh, nice to talk to you last time.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Well, you came to the studio where we went in here,
but you geezure really rapped into us and we loved it.

Speaker 19 (25:10):
Now I've decided not to do that because you guys
are still working in the industry, because you've been doing
it so long, I've decided not to give you a
hard time to be where you are.

Speaker 12 (25:24):
The art the arts remarkable.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
The movie. It looks incredible. Sit in eighteen sixty four.
I think that's when we started and radio we've been
hanging in there that long.

Speaker 12 (25:34):
I think you are remnants of those people. Yes, from
eighteen sixty four.

Speaker 8 (25:38):
We might have been the colonial people.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yes, than it was the name of the film, Teim
and looking at the project, it must have been very dear.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
To your heart. Yes.

Speaker 12 (25:48):
The thing was that it was my friend's story, the director,
Mike Jonathan. He's a very dear friend. He shot all
my videos when I wanted to go to Hollywood, and
I would record many of my auditions, did Everyone's documentary
for nothing, everyone's music videos for nothing. It was also
a bit of payback time to give the love back
to Mike. He had supported me in the past. I

(26:10):
had a dream to go to Hollywood. Now he had
the story that he wanted to direct. I said, yeah,
well I'll play the role over there before you made them,
since he's my tupuna as well.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
It's just such a like a pivotal time in New Zealand,
a history as well, the Land Wars and the Waikato
in particular. But making a movie set in the eighteen hundreds.
Do you have to be really careful, not just you know,
obviously there's no airplanes, watches.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
Things like that. You know you must must take a
bit longer in the film because of those things.

Speaker 12 (26:36):
Yeah, especially when the cow walks with pass in the
back of your shop, yea, or a never a plane
or a ship goes sailing past as well. See very
period piece. I worked on him to be called a piano,
which was also a period piece. But yeah, those things
are quite demanding, because you said in the eighteen sixties, yeah,
just another one out there making us smart.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
Now yeah, great, I suppose you can't have any of
the the chiefs of the soldiersign fring the cell phone
mid beet. Then he really pulls you out of the
out of the story. When you know, you just go
another project done. And you've done so many projects, tim,
is there is there one that you're like, Wow, that
was a fave.

Speaker 12 (27:12):
I'm kind of one of those guys that, you know,
dis grateful for the job, just grateful for that project
to happen at that particular time. I had been a
bit lazy in the past. Sometimes I do a project
because I want to get out of New Zealand. Because
of the weather.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Seems like a good reason to do a Hollywood blockbuster.

Speaker 12 (27:29):
Yeah, yeah, so I tend to go sometimes just because
of the weather. Oh, I know, there's a great restaurant there.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
Tim Oora to Morrison with us.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
You know you've you've had such an illustrious career, Tim
and always remained very humble, and you've taken it all
with the grain of salt.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
But is there.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Anyone that you've made or worked alongside where you were starstruck?

Speaker 12 (27:48):
I worked with Marlon Brando. No, our younger generation might
have known who he was. Funnily enough, I watched his
movie street Car named Basire over and over and over again.
When I was getting ready for Once Were Warriors. He
played this character called Stanley Kowalski, and I got to
meet him, I got to work with him. He's very
generous to me, and yes, I was a bit star struck.

(28:10):
I was jumping in on every line and anticipating. He
even gave me a few acting lessons, so I was
just buzzing.

Speaker 8 (28:16):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
Do you remember what he told you? What the acting
lessons were?

Speaker 11 (28:20):
He said, never anticipate, my boy, and never anticipate, you know,
always wait, you know, because sometimes I was anticipating what
he was going to say and very relaxed.

Speaker 12 (28:31):
There was no difference from when someone yells out of action.
He just sort of stays. He just adjusts his clothing.
He'll have a drink of water. The guy's already said
action about a minute ago, but he sort of just
takes his time.

Speaker 8 (28:43):
He's like, I'll start with it was like that.

Speaker 12 (28:46):
I'll just stay a few minutes. He actually cheated a
little bit. He'd have a near piece in his ear
and the lady outside in the caravan telling him his
life because he couldn't be bothered learning.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
That's a great actings.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Evan never anticipate, and you can't when you don't know
the linespate.

Speaker 12 (29:10):
He just make up his own line.

Speaker 7 (29:13):
It's so nice to talk to you. We're always so
proud when we see you.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
You're on the screen, and then we see you in
Hollywood Blockbusters you're popping up an aquaman and voicing a mowana.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
It's so awesome.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
You've had such an amazing career, So congratulations on everything
you've achieved.

Speaker 12 (29:26):
Thank you very much, thank you and all the best.
You guys do really appreciate your time and your support.

Speaker 11 (29:31):
For the film.

Speaker 12 (29:31):
Just it's about just letting people know it's there. You know,
some of our people get bit frightened of the title.
These states. It's worth a look. It's all about us,
how we said, all so beautiful mate, Nice to talk
to you guys too. All the very best, Megan, thank
you all your listeners. You have got listeners.

Speaker 8 (29:50):
Good on your team, A couple.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
So awesome. Tim Morrison joining us.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
There there the hits that Johnaan Ben p cast.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Extreme parenting happens at times time Taylor, you were just
sharing a story of your wonderful sou long Bartie.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, when you were growing up great mam.

Speaker 14 (30:08):
Yeah, obsurd parenting techniques, which one of them.

Speaker 15 (30:12):
I was about eleven twelve years old. I ax Mom
if I could go down to Cronulla Beach with me friends.
She was like, yep, cool, but she gave me a curfew.
And in Cronulla it's like a small community, so like
you just walk down the beach, yeah, Georgia, And she
was like, go for you just need it back by
this time, and you need to text me. She got
me a phone so I could text her and then

(30:34):
didn't text her all day, just spent a really nice
day down at the beach and thought I'd come back
home around six pm. First of all, not good move,
because she know I was eating dinner or not, and
not always does it wind her up? Mate, if you
want to see her go from zero to one hundred,
don't tell if you're eating dinner or not.

Speaker 8 (30:49):
Yeah, right, she doesn't know how much to prepare.

Speaker 14 (30:52):
Yeah, that's the whole thing.

Speaker 15 (30:53):
And then she thought I'd been murdered, naturally, because your
mind goes straight there, and then she goes, sit down.

Speaker 14 (31:00):
You want to do that again to me.

Speaker 15 (31:01):
You're watching this documentary and this is exactly what's going
to happen to you. And it was really horrifying true story.
These two girls traveled from out West to the beach
in Krinullah, the exact beach where I was. They took
their younger siblings with them. They decided to leave their
younger siblings on the beach and they met a guy
who was spearfishing and both murdered.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Really so she made you sit down and.

Speaker 15 (31:26):
Yeah, like twelve eleven twelve, okay, yeah, And then I
had ninemares And then the next day was the most
popular girl at school because I retold the story and
then I ended up getting in trouble because parents rang
up saying that their kids had come home and had
nightmares that yeah, yeah, well yeah, I can capture a nation, mate,
this is all it is. And then and then my

(31:49):
mom ended up getting in trouble, and my mom said, well,
like sorry, Like, it's the reality of life, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (31:54):
You go to the beach, you're gotta get mooded.

Speaker 15 (31:55):
Yeah, And this story was back in the sixties, so
it was like school sixty years prior whatever. Do the math,
but yeah, obviously you touched a nerve with her and
she thought.

Speaker 14 (32:06):
She'd share it.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
I love I do love extreme parenting. Sometimes they just
say they get so wound up. It takes four for
a seven. If you've when you're growing up, were or
maybe you have been an extreme parent.

Speaker 8 (32:16):
I I do like the ones.

Speaker 7 (32:16):
I'll pull this car over, make you walk home.

Speaker 8 (32:19):
Friend of It Julia.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
This week on this show, they were in the state's
family trip and your brother was being a rat bag
in the back and her.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Parents like, we'll pull this car over foreign country.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeh la.

Speaker 18 (32:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
And he was like nine or ten, dropped off in
Compton or somewhere.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Just teach them a lesson and they took a while
with the motorway system to come back around to get them.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
Lift our child in Compton.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
Terrifying.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I would be terereified. Always see those stories back in
the day too. Someone us caught to make a cigarette,
the parents would make.

Speaker 7 (32:47):
It the whole pack.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
Ye what all on your mouth?

Speaker 5 (32:50):
It was a punishment but also getting your child more
addicted to nicotine at the same time.
