Laying out with you another cold morning, Megan.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Yeah, nippy, although we say that at the.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Top of the Yeah, you can't complain when you're up
towards the top of the North Island because of the
South Island.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Jeez.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I mean we're always surprised, wh aren't we. It's July.
That's what happens in winter.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, it's like, I do prefer the winter clothing to
the summer clothing, do you. Yeah, I find like your
lovely jacket you've got on today.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, wearing a yetti today.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, No, it looks not but you can wear it
in the middle of January.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's true.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
I like autumn because you can kind of like layer
it up, but you don't have to be puffer jacket
of both.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, and nice in between.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I got into a conversation yesterday because you know, kids
these days there they're pretty onto it, right, so, you know,
through the world of social media, and one of my
daughters was asking me about, you know, a conversation, dear
in my heart Lebron James. She started asking me about
Lebron James and his son. So, Lebron James, we all
know a great basketball player, but her son is now
going to be in the NBA with Lebron James.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Nepotism, and it's like, you couldn't get more luck. I
took Probably only the better it would have been Donald
Trump maybe when he managed to get all his white
family into the White House.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
That's a pretty cool moment for that. Amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
This is going to be Lebron's last season next Yeah,
signed for two more years. They reckon so Yeah, and
he's thirty nine years old, turning forty next year.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
When he saw the crime of his life.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, and you know, that's pretty cool. I mean, there's
all lots of funny memes scenes that came out. I
think I see you one saying that already. There's the
rumors that were Lebron James sleeping with the teammate's mum.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Fire issue too, but with the father son combo on
the basket. You know what it's like when you're with
your dad. Yeah, your dad just wants to pass on advice.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
You should dad or Lebron or what said those environments.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Be on the same team.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, the same team he's been drafted on the same team.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, Like, were you asking for the boy? You're like, dad.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Sleep, Yeah, And that'd be the first time in NBA
history is that her father son have played on the
same time. I think so, which is in sports history. Short,
it's pretty it's pretty it's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (02:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I think maybe in baseball maybe like Ken griff or
something like that might have been one season crossover. But
I was explaining it to my daughter saying it's pretty rare,
you know, for thirty nine. And she was saying, why
don't she's like thirty nights all that, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
She's like, I doesn't say that, Oh, why athlete? Yeah,
what athletes?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I was like, for an athlete, that's quite old,
you know, like your body starts not to be as good.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
As it was.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Well, then is that sort of twenty plus years in
the sport? Yeah, thinking you've started at eighteen nineteen seemi professionally.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
And she and then she went, well, how come you
guys are still doing radio.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I was like, well, that's slightly different, so co bearing
about it. We should be on the way I perform.
It's very rare for an athlete to be doing at
that age. Just what why are you still doing radio?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So anyway, it's turned from like a good conversation to
our conversation where I'm like, oh.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
And the advantage of doing radio over sort of a
thirty or forty year period as you could start forming
very controversial opinions and end up on the retirement.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Village of the topic station, you know, different phases.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
The hits that Johan ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Tumbled across an interview. I was flipped onto a channel
they were interviewing dog Roll who's the new captain Scot.
You should see the size of dog Rolls thighs enormous.
He's being interviewed in shorts, enormous.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
That's why they call him dog Row.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I think you tackle those two dog roles as they
coming towards you.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
You just don't think how big athletes are until you
actually sort of see them, do you. This just sounds
like the world's most stupid time. You know, you're like
the warriors and you're on the ground and you see
them on the field, You're like, these people are enormous. Yeah,
it doesn't do them any justice on the TV.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
And he's dirty too, and it seems like a like a.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Man you guys thirsting over him.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, dog, roll would look after you throw you around
the place with me.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, who's like Travis Kelsey, isn't he dog? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now, yesterday I mentioned the comments that my daughter said,
because there's lots of posters around cities and towns around
New Zealow. My daughter saw one said you look like
a model. I was like, oh wow, that's awesome. She's like,
you're one of those models for like kmart or a
catalog or something. Yeah, And then we actually just again
I disrespect the people that do that, but I was like,
I was exmagining something else when she said you look

(04:17):
like a model.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
You know, one of those serious liketure models.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
You're like a smiley like yeah, cool.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Dad, like yeah, the accessible dad model.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
You're right, the model who might once had a promising
modeling career, but it's still kind of got some good
looks and so they can chuck them in a puff
of these and put them in a park and he
can hang out with his family.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Advertise some clothes. Now, we thought that we.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Would try and get you into a catalog, maybe do
some modeling for someone.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
We just need a business. If you need anything advertised,
we our morals don't even exist. Whatever the product is,
you need to hop off cigarettes, Ben boys can model
for cigarettes. Yeah, a model for you four four seven.
We'll try and get disorder before the end of the week.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
But with all this modeling chair, I was like, you
know what, I do know someone who can give you
a bit of modeling advice because my husband has modeled
some jewelry just recently. I know this because he likes
to go on and on about how he's a model now,

of what is it smising? When you're kind of smiling
with your eyes? I mean, how what's the trick to that?

not sure what I was doing.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's me, that's me every day. I'll be fine.

Speaker 8 (06:57):

very niche topic.

Hello, I have a full page catalog.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
You've sent us a picture to us. Now, I don't know.

and age.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Describe it. When was the year, what was it? Tell
us about it?

Speaker 8 (09:43):
It was June nineteen ninety seven.

I naked in a bar with covering our bodies, locking
over some of the beach.

she's setting up in the bath.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Did she confirm if she's naked or not?

Speaker 9 (10:13):
You confirmed she was wearing a bikini, although when you
look at the picture, I'm not one hundred percent confident.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
They've put bubbles over her, strategically placed bubbles in the
bubble bus too.

Speaker 8 (10:25):
You'll note that they haven't put bubbles over me.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
They felt like you needed more bubbles. I'll get this picture,
get away with this. No, you're right, and now I
feel like this could be anyway.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I feel like I'm on some watchless every look at that.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
So from your you're very brief into as a three
year old model a in a weird bubble bath situation.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
What advice would you pass on to not doing a
bubble bath? Baby?

bathrooms did you hoke off for the people.

The hits that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
I made a comment about my daughter saying that I
look like a catalog model and some of our hits advertising.
At the moment, I was thinking when she said I
looked like a model that maybe it was something like
you know, catwalks and Milan and New York Fashion Week
and stuff.

It's never really been a dream of mine. But anyway,
you know, I'm realistic about how I look. And then
you know, in the regard you know when you meet.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Some people are like they are models. They should be
a model, you know, right, But like I said, you're

roll of trampolining. So is there a double bounced feature
on the tramp at the Olympics as well?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
No, no, not at the moment. Do they do two people.
There's no syncro, it's just individual.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
So you were Are you the first person to represent
New Zealand and trampolining at the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I was, yeah, in twenty sixteen and our.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
First ever gymnastics meddle. You were in Tokyo bronze which
is incredible.

Speaker 12 (18:29):
Then that's pretty cool. I was just saying earlier, it's
pretty cool to be that something for the first time.
So pretty privileged I guess to be, you know, the
first New Zealander to do a few things, which is cool.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Even against all the bloody riight it up, Russia, the
middle legions.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
There's no one competing for New Zealand on Olympic level,
you know, professionally before you like, how did you get
into it?

Speaker 12 (18:52):
Yeah, well, obviously just did it for fun when I
was really really young, like six seven years old. I
went to my first World Champs in Russia. Actually when
I was twelve.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Took out reading your bios says you took up trampolining
at age at age five, and.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
A lot of us do take it, think well about
the same time. But I didn't carry on with it
like yourself get we retired.

Speaker 12 (19:10):
I think I took it up earlier actually on the backyard, yeah, mum,
mum was like this Kidney's lessons. He was jumping off
the train, jumping off trees into the tramp and hurting himself.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
So did you have one of the old school ones
with the steel springs, you know, didn't have the petting and.

Speaker 12 (19:24):
Exposed springs, mate, Yeah, built character didn't that there's exposed springs.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
They do.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
I imagine the backyard ones are quite different to the
ones you use at the Olympics. But if you were
to jump on someone's backyard tramp, how high could you
get on like a standard tramp?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Look, it really depends on the tramp.

Speaker 12 (19:40):
Those spring free ones are pretty dead, so not very high,
maybe two or three meters max.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Still, that's Imprisonleah. You should do a flip at two
or three meters. I'm like, if I could take you to.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
My backyard, do you can do it? Yeah? Double flip? Yeah,
probably a double I'd probably call it at triples. His
daughter's very good at flips on the tramp.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
She actually yeah, because I can't do that, And it
was like, can you teach me how to do a backflap?
I'm like no, but YouTube wonderful teacher. And then she
got to a point that she was like, I'm just
going to do it now, and we're like, okay, good luck,
and she yeah, she nailed it.

Speaker 12 (20:09):
So a lot of it's just confidence, the like you
just got to like go for it, have a bit
of confidence, and yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Can't really barl out midway through. Yeah, you got to.

Speaker 12 (20:17):
You gotta full full send it otherwise, Yeah, you might
be in trouble and take us.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
What is it like being at the Olympics in the
village and all the events, So I imagine it's quite surreal
for for an athlete like yourself. Yeah, it's unreal.

Speaker 12 (20:29):
A like I've been twice now and they were two
very different experiences. Obviously Rio are so young and there
was no no COVID or anything, and then Tokyo there
was a whole bunch of COVID going around, so it
was but it's just the scale of everything's crazy. The
athletes that you sort of bump into is incredible and
all the all the perks that come with it, like.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Get a free phone and that sort of thing. Everne
gets a free phone, Yeah mate, it's got the.

Speaker 12 (20:50):
Rings on it and everything. But they do do a
good job, and not just the like not just the IOC,
but like the end ZOC do an amazing job for us.
Kiwi's like building that team culture in that team environment.
Each getting a pone arm like a pendant super cool
with our cat's awesome. They set up little rooms for
us to have coffee and hang out and watch other

(21:10):
people can beat even though. So yeah, it's it's once
in a lifetime and that's my third time. I guess,
really cooling. It all goes, all goes so fast.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
So oh wow, that's incredible.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Now they've got those bloody collapsible bids, don't they, So
you can't need more than one.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Jumping on the bed and got your trampoline. People like that.
I jump.

Speaker 12 (21:32):
I jumped on the cardboard bid in Tokyo and it
didn't break.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Actually fine. I'm a firm, big guy, so I loved it.

Speaker 12 (21:41):
Yeah, definitely debunk mates. It's all for sustainability reasons and
that's that.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, you know what. Us media.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Is so nice that to have you here in the
studio and I'm putting up a tramp Actually next week,
do you want to come over and help?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Unfortunately leave, Why don't you wait to get back. We're
very proud. Good luck over your mate. I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
Thanks that jonaan ben podcast.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Is something happened here with this guy and I wanted
to know what side you said, because my husband is
on the side of the guy.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
At the gym.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Stick together, don't.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
They checked up on pre workout bloody and crazy energy
drinks on of those ones with the bloody musashies.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Can we try and guess what the jim brow was
doing to you? Yes? Okay, grunting? No, what do you
think of grunting?

Speaker 5 (22:30):
I've hit for noise canceling headphone. So if these grunters
I don't even hear them.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
You've got to be doing some serious stuff. If you're grunting,
that's always my theories.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
I think I've grunted a couple of times.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
I can squeal, you know, I don't have the confidence
to grunt.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Have you grunted, ben? No? No, I just like to
hear you breathing.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Really, he grunted. Someone looks over, being like, whoa, what
are you lifting?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Did the jim bro come over and spot you thinking
that you weren't?

Speaker 3 (23:02):
No, I don't think I would. I don't know. I
don't think I would mind not.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Bring it, not bring a tout, or didn't work down
the beach. No, okay, I don't know. You've lost me.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
So I went on the machines, which I find quite
intimidating anyway.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Because he's like lots of gm bras doing heavy stuff.
So I went on one of the machines. It was free,
and I had got two.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Out of three and my seats done, and this gimbra
comes over to me and was like, how much you
got to go?

Speaker 3 (23:31):
And I was like, well, I'm just.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Doing one more lot, one more set. And that's when
he was like okay and stood there and waited. So
I just finished one.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
So I was doing like a rest in between, and
I was like, am I allowed to rest? Like should I?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
And so he's just standing this.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Beside me, waiting and I still had one more to
do and I was doing my wrist. I was like
should So I did the next one and then I
was like, I'm not going to do as many as
I need because I feel so Yeah, he's sitting.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Me watching the ball.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
It wasn't the bloody thigh Master one. Wasn't you in
and out.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
With the No no, no, no, it was like a
back extinction mean anything to you.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Listen, No, no, it doesn't mean I'm on the side
of the gym bro. Well, who was sad of you?
On the bin?

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I feel like he could yeah, because you don't want to.
He doesn't want to walk away because he doesn't want
to lose the spot in line. But at the same time,
I feel like you can look at your phone or
do something space a little bit of space at the
same time keeping an eye that no one else that's mine.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Could you not say to me, oh, yeah, I just
I'm gonna come back to it.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
And I would have held it for him.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
If someone came over, it would have been like, oh,
this guy's got it, do a lap or something.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
He stood right beside me. Maybe he could have yelled
out motivational slogans.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
How many you got, I'll count you down more.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
You can do it. Dream work makes the team work,
you know what, like team makes the dream work.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
He's often like women's sections of gyms, why do they
need a woman?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
That's probably why quite intimidated when you do that.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Well, this jimbre had an absolute shock of one. So
I jumped off the treadmill and it entered rest mode.
So I'd gone to get the wipes like a good jimber,
to wipe down the treadmill. And then a lady who
listened to the edge cords any which were on at
the time, she walked over and as she stepped on,
I didn't know the treadmill is still going and both
took her cleaner like landing on her face and it
was rubbing on her face and laughing. No, no, she

(25:29):
was rattled by And then your sister got in touch
with us and was like, oh, oh, jim you buddy.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
So that's what happens.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
That jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Oh my god, these things keep happening to you. So story.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
There's Flinny, who he actually used to work on the hips.
Now he's on Mary f M. Wonderful guy, wonderful guy.
Now I'm leaving work yesterday and across the road, the
busy road there there's a body walking past them. I'm like, oh, buddy, Flinny,
waving enthusiastically, waving, smiling, good, oh man, how are I?
He looks at me and he crosses the road towards me.

(26:09):
I'm like, well, this is obvious interaction. Halfway across the
road is walking towards me. I'm like, oh, dear God,
that's not Flinny. Okay, but this person keeps walking towards me.
Now they have a look of fear in their eyes
of oh oh am. I in the position where I've
met this person before and I can't remember who I
met and I'm in the position of going, this is

(26:32):
not the person I thought it was.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
And now they're coming over, so so you hadn't been before,
never seen them before.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
But he looked at this doppelgan doppelganger for Flinny and
he walks up and he's like hello, and he was
he was European. It is Swedish, was a borderline offensive
accent there, and I was like, well, this is definitely
not Flenny now tune adorable Swedish accent.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
And we so talking. He's like, how are you? And
I said, I'm good, how are you?

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Because he's thinking, well, this guy really was beckoning me
to come over. He's waving, he's smiling, and we're both
sort of searing each other.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
In the eyes. And it felt like probably three hours.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
It was only three seconds of silence after he asked
me how I was and I said, it's cold today,
because I'm thinking.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
To wear the chat.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
How do I tastefully exit this for both of us?

Speaker 2 (27:27):
For both art.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah, because he's like, what's this guy on? And You're like,
have I forgotten it that I've met him? You know,
that terrible scenario. So we kind of dotted around with
a Chad busys been busy, the traps, busy and stuff.
And then eventually he said, okay, then well I'll be

(27:48):
on my way.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Said well you have a good day. You do this,
you're making it. We did this.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
We were at the Rural Games and past the North
and we're I'll produce a b Hub spin and you
were just like, it's fun. And from that the Queen
shot and both Ben and I were like, don't know,
that's f you just bolt a gay your mate.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
And as you got there and shook his hand, you're like, oh,
it's not for sure. We're we'll leave you to that one. Yeah,
I mean Joe Biden. Biden would have known that wasn't flee. Ah.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
So I just had a really fun kind of awkwarl
conversation with a complete stranger. And he probably went on
as well, we know, I guess because that was something he.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Was such nice, Yeah, but also be very weird and
awkward if you go and talk to them.

Speaker 6 (28:40):
The heads that Johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Final week of News at TV three. Three News will continue,
which will be across three as you know, on TV
but also on stuff as well. But it's kind of sad,
it's kind of a restructuring and a lot of shows,
like The Aim Show in particular, no longer going to
be around.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Which is sad.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Paul Henry on the show yesterday and he was saying,
no one should be surprised by this was his theory,
and he wrote in his book five years ago that
they should have. He wrote to the company, Saace, you
can it now before it starts costing you money. But
that aside, that's the business aspect of it. There's a
whole lot of humanity involved. He isn't there hundreds of
people losing their jobs and going, jeez, I've worked in

(29:21):
this industry for twenty thirty years not knowing what to do.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
A real change when a lot of people at TV three,
you know, there were the little station, little battler, you know,
station that did amazing things.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
For a lot of low budgets and stuff, very inappropriate
stuff went on there.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
I'm not like bad, you know, there's just no hid apartment.
We were naked in a lift one.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
I feel like you need to call an apologize.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Well, maybe we could call it this week and go, hey, yeah,
there's a lot of stuff we need to say sorry
for all of you.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Close this chapter and a good moment.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yesterday, one of the final episodes of the AM Show,
they were talking about the egg throwing Championships.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
We've taken part in that before.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Actually we yeah, we're throwing egg I think they were
having another one that not just part of the rural
games as.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, the national championships. New Sound's got the world record.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
I think the world record of ninety four point three
meters really hard because you can catch that.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
You know, you can catch.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
The egg, but to have it not break was the
hardest thing because you've got to kind of have soft hands.
That was the thing we kind of struggled with.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
We've got the soft hands, yeah, just try.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
And catch it without being too aggressive. But yesterday they
were playing a game of vigg Roulette and things.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Took a little bit of a turn as they all
smashed eggs on the head. Just smashed on my forehead.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
Yeah please, and it's an honor to be here.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
And just come off there.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
I have definitely checked out. I think you mind you
wished to do some expression after it.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, yeah, it was eagerly.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
One of them was meant to be boiled hardball, but
I think that the twist was none of them worse.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
We're just on their heads it anyway.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Well, thankfully I don't have a care in my car boot,
but I could do. I don't know. There's so much
stuff in there.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
I mentioned towards the end of the show yesterday that
I had to get the car fixed, so I had
to empty everything out, and boy, oh boy, the boot
is just a traveling storage unit in my car.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Anyway, have you got you got a tidy? I don't
have as much stuff as you.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
I try and clear it from time to time off
and it's closed to put in a clothing burn or
something like.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
That that they travel around with you and then because
you forget about it, Jess, I really need to do that,
like three or four wigs, so I don't know. I've
never even used the wigs. Yeah, what works, trumber.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
I won't say anything.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
If i'd see if I can integrate it naturally, and
nothing will be said. Also, I've always always got like
a eighty five percent working umbrella, you know, never a
fully functioning umbrella is in there.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
There's those tupple weird containers. It's kind of it's the.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Space that if I don't know where to put stuff
in the household, to chuck it in the car boot.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Don't have to deal with it.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
More stuff that we've had at work. And you're like,
I'll bring that back in. You just leave it in
your book. It's never coming back.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
He's given up. I handed you beg your cricket booking.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
You used cricket books, but if you open it, you'll
be like, this is this guy that he needs some help.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Have you got stuff clogging up your boot?

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Megan, No, Mostly it's just supermarket bags and a Lizzo poster.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Because I got the Lizzo poster.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
And then was like, I don't know if we're canceling her,
so it's still in there.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
I think you're putt put it back in the lounge.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Wait till she releases like another banger, and then I'll
be like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I just read it. Cost me one check the canceled stars.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Did he see posters?

Speaker 2 (32:50):
There was a car boot sale because sometimes they do
those and overseas that just last week, and the lady
brought a book for one pound.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
It was James Bond. Book turned out to be very rare.
It was only a couple of thousand, even made original
she got ten thousand pounds. She sort of whoa just
have to add of somebody else's boots? Was that pretty crazy?

Speaker 3 (33:09):
I don't think they're going to find anything that nice.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
And John's you know what I always find too, is
we never he's a warning if you're driven being around.

Speaker 6 (33:17):
No.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
He likes to eat bananas on the g and he
always squeezes the peels either you find them crammed away
in the.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Boot or.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, but I'll put it when I go to the bed.
Sometimes I've forgotten. It's not intentional.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
I forget.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Do you just kind of walk out and you leave
it there? But yeah, otherwise what do you do with
this thing?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah? I'm not going to throw it out the window.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
So the one time I drove with producer Taylor, she
or we were consuming and her card. She gave us
a very stern warning that anything we eat or drink
in the air comes out whether yeah good not so
polite a way, he's got.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
A Ravish bred as soon as you get out of
the car for enough, and I'd been used to car
as a compost.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Compossible, it's good.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
I wait under the hits, what is the what is
the best thing you've had? In your book doesn't necessarily
have to be in there. Now, see if you can
see if you can beat what have we just been
talking about?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
My cricket box a tuple we contained. The bar is
very very low.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast is.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
The most random thing you've had in your car.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
Boats.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yeah, I had to clear out mine and a lot
of stuff, and then it makes to see reusable shopping
bags as well.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Of course every time you go on you're like, oh,
I've forgotten them. Over one hundred and fifty of them.
Have to buy another to add to the collection.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
But the cars is so much when you think about
it about people's personalities. You can get a snapshot of
someone's personality generally by just looking at their car. It's
like an extension of them, isn't it, whether they're in
a shambalic period of their life or a very successful,
wealthy period of their life.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
What does your car say about you?

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Erratic missy Porter Porter when you can get quite tidy
and the main part of it it is quite yeah, yeah,
all right, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
But he's the best thing you've heard in your boot.
We're going to kick things off of Shennon how are
you this morning, Shannon?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Good good, really good to have you. And now this
wasn't your car but your mum's. Yes.

Speaker 9 (35:12):
Yeah, so one time ago she used to have us coach.
I don't know what the name of the was, but
she would go on her car and go get ready
to go and sit on him.

Speaker 10 (35:23):
Man.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
The back of the boot just climbed them by itself.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (35:28):
I don't know how, but apparently.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
To turn back around it was the boot was obbly
open at one point.

Speaker 9 (35:36):
I don't know. Maybe it's figuring out how to open.

Speaker 8 (35:38):
Up the boot.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
That's pretty impressive. Do you know what?

Speaker 3 (35:40):
She turn up to work and then suddenly should be here.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, then you're going to turn around, drop the goat
back off home. You can't do the goat into work.
People bring their dogs into work here at the night,
you imagine a.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Goat wandering around everything.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah, that's hockey up with some how pizza. That's a
great call. We appreciate it right now, Michael, welcome to
the show. What have you had in your boot?

Speaker 10 (36:05):
I can do that better than now. I've had six
goats in my boots.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
It's just kind of to have me go to your boat.

Speaker 8 (36:12):
I love it.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
I love it.

Speaker 10 (36:14):
We had five or six We possibly get seven. Yeah,
because we were shifting them from our place to the
next door. When we were getting some trees melled, so
we're like, how the hell do we move more So
we just opened the boot and shove them all in
one of the time and three months later we brought
the more. Hame again said, three.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Months later we opened up the boat. They go to Fine,
they go to all God, do you know this.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
Is crazy, Michael crazy, someone else's ticks And I've had four.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Goats in my boot better than Michaels.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
Though.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
If you can beat Michael's six goats in your boot,
tread with New Zealand. I guess it's the way to treads. Well,
I guess they're probably happy.

Speaker 10 (36:52):
Great Stone Line climbing in the boat. Were actually top
two in the back at the Bajeera up to Auckland
and you should have seen the people driving.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Him in the back of the pizio. Where do you live, Michael,
where'd you take two goats to Auckland?

Speaker 10 (37:06):
Well, Karen was in a bagpipe band. Of course this
is my wife, so she one of the people in
the band wanted a couple of goats so we just
put the two of them in the back of the car,
stopped at Pira and they climbed out and had a
pee had here, and then we got to Manuema and
changed cars, but they had another p there.

Very leaky. We're going to hot ups and help. That's
so good.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
The hats that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Now me again. You've got some audio workers.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Yeah, this is kind of unnerving. It is actually quite
amazing that orcers can do this. But they found that
they can imitate each other and other creatures, including humans.
So they decided to put it to the test and
they gave them words, which I mean, they're not going
to say hello usually in their repertoire, but they pitched

(38:00):
them a few words and saw what they came back with.
I think it sounds like they're speaking, but you can just.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
I think it sounds like they're like, you know, if
you're being mocked by a bully in the school yard,
they're mocking us.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Yeah, you can decide for yourself.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Hello, Hello, one.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Two, three.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Now the trainer is lobbing up some low hanging fruit
for the orca. That one too making the noise of
a way you.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
See if she copies copies the patterning. If it's like one.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
Too, I mean maybe if you're on some hallucinogenics you
might think the orcas are talking.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
That's like, is it You're sure that's not the.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Train and I go, You know, I saw a clip
the other day of a cat singing being some boone
and actually play that for you that.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
Well, the cat's me owing and the kind of it's
not a cat deliberately was trying to sing beds and
boom makes you'll play it for you after seven.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Maybe that's how we sound to Wales though you know
how we they sound to us? Wo they Oh, these
guys are making weird noises communicating with each other.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Maybe that's how we sound to them. That's that's imitating us.
I'll be right, all right, Ken Wales actually talk, Yes, no,
prove there.

Speaker 6 (39:27):
That's the johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
So the last week or so has been the week
of hock Tour, the viral clip that's gone everywhere.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Are you going to give them that hock that?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
A lady by the name of Haley was out in
Nashville with her mates and she got interviewed for it
seemed like some sort of YouTube sort of channel, she said,
a funny comment, and it's just taken the internet by storm.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
It's you know moments though that she go the world
is a wonderful place where you can just make the
sound of hock tour and into an international superstar.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
And it doesn't happen all the time. This is a
once in a lifetime. She said it herself. She's started
her first interview with Barstol Sports.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
We mentioned it yesterday and she's done like a twenty
odd minute interview with them.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
She said, I thought I'd never see it again.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Like the interview she was like she was just doing
it on the streets, was like, I'll never see this again.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Then suddenly you cannot. You see it everywhere. I wonder
at the moment where she woke up and went, this
is snowballs, this is everywhere.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
And they did a little game with her at the end,
which I thought was an interesting game when you think
about what it is. It was like HOWK tour or nah,
And so it was the lady who was interviewing it
was was showing up some photos of some guys and
she was had to say whether she would hock two
of them on that thing or not right, which, when
you think about it, it's about.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
We asked another way would be entirely.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
If you don't mind me asking the gender of the interviewer.
It was a lady. Yeah, it was absolutely fine. But
the first question here have listen, I have.

Speaker 7 (40:58):
A game that I want to play with you guys.
It's called hock Tour or not.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
And you tell me if you want a hook tour
on that thing or no?

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Okay, Donald Trump, No, absolutely not.

Speaker 6 (41:13):
For me.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
So now there's a few articles out there going Donald
Trump fans, she's.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Not a Donald Trump supporter, but she wouldn't hoktour Donald Trump.
When you think about it's not saying she's not a
Donald trumb supporter.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Should there are a lot of well, I don't know,
maybe they.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Yeah, so people getting fired up with they don't really
know the contexts of the fold.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
And now my mom just came back.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
She was in Australia visiting her sisters, and she was
talking to her and she said, something happened on the
plane and she was a little put off by this,
and I want to know you you got us, John,
o'meghan with you what your thoughts were. She was sitting
in the economy class of the plane and she went
up to go to the bathroom and she knows it
was quite a big queue in the economy section and
she could just she was sitting near the sort of

(44:23):
premium economy, first class.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Business class area, a bit of class. She wasn't in that.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
She noticed that at the toilet closest to her, not
her toilet was there was no cure. She was like, oh,
I just whip up there and go. And then she
walked up there. The lady, who was you know, one
of the stewards, went oh, I'm sorry, you can't use
this bathroom.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
This is for the people that have paid for it.
And and Mom was a little little put off.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
And then she try to tell me this, and I went, oh, yeah,
I could get her, you little put off. But at
the same time, she's got a point.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
I'm not saying.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
I'm saying I can see where the ladies say, you know,
they can't let all the REFERRAF buddy out there.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
And that of the droppings and pass here. My mom
was kind of like, you're old late.

Speaker 5 (45:08):
You know.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
They're like, that's fine, but you didn't play for premium.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Well, I was like, an interesting point the way, I mean,
sometimes you could lapse it, I guess if you want.
But the same the same time, I was like, Mom,
you didn't you didn't pay for that, so did you
take these stars of the airline for a hardcore on
my mum or anything like that. But I just kind
of went, oh, yeah, I kind of. I can see
where the lady was coming from. It's a job to
kind of to do that.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
But also a really yeah, well, yeah, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Did she lead her do it?

Speaker 1 (45:37):
No? You go back up to Yeah? So I was like,
what would you do? I mean, it's hard in that situation.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
I probably just go you're fine, just you're not meant
to Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
Very triggering for me that you're missing an airplane toilet.
I remember, only about six months ago, I used an
earplane toilet and for whatever reason, I've never seen this before.
On the ear line toilet with the circular window was
located you know that are down the side of the
plane was directly beside the toilet. So I'm standing up
and this is before we've even taken off and using

(46:10):
the laboratory.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
They're one of those bloody.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Scissor lips things which people go outside.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
A frame frame.

Speaker 13 (46:23):
I was like, can they see it? I spent a
couple of hours of the plane going what just happened there?

Speaker 2 (46:35):
But are you working on the you know, on the
tarmac of an airport. You're seeing the plane for those windows.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
To wave out people, but hopefully we're just concentrating on
something else, the engine.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Just hoping that that particular window is frosted or something.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
And you know how it so was like Simpson's like
