Cheers to Dilma making the world a better tea. As
Ben makes his way back to New Zealand, his arrival
is imminent. Can I just say, this is my birthday
week and I'm very much a birthday week extravaganza kind
of person. This is he's completely overshadowed all of my life.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Do you like a whole week long leading I'm sorry.
We have really been heavily focused on the return of
Ben Boyce, who's been trapped over in America.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I started to think he was trying to avoid my birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, it is tomorrow about me. It is tomorrow, a
very short runway.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
But he's made it back in time, that's the main thing.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well, hopefully he's going to be making it back in time.
We've been tracking his plane, like you know how those
people track Taylor Swiss private jet to make her feel
guilty about her carbon footprint. We've been doing the same thing,
same thing. And if you have just joined us this morning,
here is the harrowing tale of one man trapped in America.
(00:58):

States of Americas.

out of the twenty twenty four presidential reace.

more so than the little Kiwi battler stranded on a
family vacation.

Bags packed down to our last clean pair of underwear
and socks.
Speaker 8 (01:25):
You know, it's the end of the travels.
Speaker 9 (01:26):
And then we got word that the computers around the
world have basically gone down the global I out and.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Banged up abroad in a comfortable hotel in Florida, he
learned new things about himself.
Speaker 9 (01:39):
The toilets, how they have that sort of a lot
more water.
Speaker 10 (01:42):
It's very hard to have a pee quietly in the
middle of the night, I've discovered.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And the heartbreaking agony of a renowned tight ass dealing
with the never ending pressures on his credit card.
Speaker 11 (01:52):
Now on, I'm not sure what travel insurance are going
to are gotta pay for so hey, you never know.
Speaker 8 (01:57):

Speaker 3 (02:38):
The airport, yeah, if you've got nothing else to do.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
We have seen to welcome party for him that he

Speaker 1 (02:57):
The Hits that jonaan Ben podcast is inbound.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
In about an hour, he'll be landing finally in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I never thought would see him again, to be honest,
thanks to the global internet outage on Friday, which calls
him to be again still really confuses me. Nine days later.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Whatever he is, we tease him, but we've missed him.
And God he's been.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Through a role trying to get Oh my gosh, this.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
His updates are so draining and it's not even affecting us.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah. I imagine too. At that stage, you just want
to get home.
Speaker 13 (03:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And his daughters are so tired they've been sleeping in
the airport.
Speaker 14 (03:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know it's like anyway, well, we'll be welcoming him home.
And that's what I'll tell you. What you want to
do is when he arrives, jet legged, tires, exhausted, managing
the kids as be welcomed by a huge welcoming party
with signs and cameras and Philly cannons.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, I would love to get that this morning. So
he arrived seven fourteen. If you want to make you
out to the airport, we'll be crossing live with rolling coverage.
Yesterday mentioned had an intruder in their house and I've
really oversold it. I've done that radio thing where it
was a it was just a bird.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
To be honest, was it a fantail? There's really bad luck.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
What death?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, I think it means something something or someone in
your life's going to die.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Sweet and the Lake, Yeah, I know it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Good fantail came like, this guy's already dead on the inside.
Nothing we can do in this house. But yeah, it
was kind of like a sparrow. But my issue with
when birds come into the house, everyone's in a flap.
The bird's flapping, I'm flapping. It's out of its natural environment,
and all parties are equally surprised to see each other,
(04:37):
you know, and the bird doesn't know any exit point.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Because there's glass everywhere. They're smacking into the windows thinking
that's how they're getting out.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And sometimes I don't know why, but a bird's biological
reaction to being trapped inside, it's just defecate everywhere, just
all over the place, you know, bang, flying to a window,
poop there, I'm walking over here, or poopo here.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
So to be finding bird poo for a while.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah, And I was trying to remain calm because I
think last year or the year before, someone phoned up
Wonderful Hits Listen To phoned up and actually said, if
there's ever a bird in the house, simple trick you
do is just shut all the curtains apart from a
little gap where you can open the door and they
can see the light and I was trying to do that,
but I was trying to communicate to the bird, It's
all right, mate, just stay there, I'll shut I'll do
(05:25):
all this and it'll be fine. So we need like
an app where we can communicate and then that passes
on to the bird.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You know, like you travel overseas and you're in a
foreign country or something that would.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Be maybe elon can get onto that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
And they just can't. For whatever reason, birds can't figure
out the concept of glass. You know, I'll give you
one slam into the glass too, maybe three tops, but
by then you need to say to yourself, this isn't
the exit point. Yeah, but they just keep going.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They're gonna break their neck and then you're gonna, yeahd
make it out.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It made it out this time. This time the had
a safe eggs at. Once we got home, there was
like a pigeon for weirdly sitting and popping my daughter's
barbie house. Got on through the chimney and it was
just like sitting there like steering, you know how they
kind of look at you, sort of calmly, like a
serial murderer of pigeons tilts their head so that one
was injured. Couldn't fly, carried it out, put it on
the deck and boy a boy, did that met a
(06:22):
grizzly end with the neighbor's cat. It was the sircle
of love and we'll watch through the window. It was
a massacre. Yeah, but anyway, good one.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yesterday the hats that Jonavan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Quarter past seven. He drew to land after an absolute
rick moarole.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, we've been tracking his flights. Do you know just
before he left his like he's like, here's some audio
of you. I'm talking to the taxi driver who's taking
us to the airport. And guess what he is punishing
the taxi driver about. If you could pick three to
one of the three things that Ben boys to be
punishing the taxi driver about. Probably his credit card payments
with the insurance company he's going to cover it.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, did he mention Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Didn't mention Donald Trump? Cricket? Cricket his other love cricket.
Have a listen to this. This is him talking to
a US text about cricktway to the airport. Now you
just mentioned cricket.
Speaker 15 (07:19):
To me, right, yes, sir, USA beaten back.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I know cricket. Have you ever watched the game of
cricket in your life.
Speaker 13 (07:26):
Not the whole game, but I do understand it, okay.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And then it just goes on to him explaining the
rules of cricket, excite cricket, and then he goes on
to explain the twitty twitty format, the one day format,
the five day format, and I was like this poor
taxi driver before he just wants to roll them out
of the car on the motorway. But you can welcome
home being boys this morning if you wish. Leading the
welcome home party our wonderful Australian producer Taylor live from
(07:53):
the airport. The scenes electric, are they Taylor? At the moment?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (07:58):
Mate, it's actually so full.
Speaker 16 (08:00):
I think word's gotten out that the Benjamin Boyce and
his family are landing this morning.
Speaker 13 (08:04):
So the crowd is wild.
Speaker 16 (08:06):
We've got signs, we've got streamers, we are ready to go.
Speaker 13 (08:09):
We've got background music even prepared. So I just hope
he's pumps.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
What are the signs saying that you've made this.
Speaker 16 (08:16):
So we've got one that says welcome home Ben from
your plastic surgery procedure. And you know, we're really gonna
We're really gonna parade that one around, just so everyone
knows what he's been through. The auteal, you know, and
explain why he looks so great as well off.
Speaker 13 (08:32):
A long haul fly.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, you'd say, how would someone come off such a
long day of travel look ten years younger.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Just so that the bruising could go down.
Speaker 13 (08:44):
Exactly. You know, vulnerability goes a long way in life.
Speaker 16 (08:47):
So hopefully everyone can get on board with him and
just give him that warm welcome.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Okay, make your way out to the report now siven fourteen.
The flight arrives home. He has no idea that we're
going to be out there, and there's probably to be honest,
the last thing you want to see is Grace and
Taylor and a couple of promotional people from.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
That he started as jurning home on Friday, it's now
a Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
He doesn't want to see any of us. He wants
to see his bed.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I can't wait to see his reaction or hear his reaction.
Taylor will catch you up with you surely appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Mentioning that Snoop Dogg is mentioned in the news that
he is going to be the torch bearer for the
Olympic Games. Also, it's rumored that Celine Dionne is going
to be making your Grain return during the opening ceremony.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
She's not been well.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
No, she's got stiff person syndrome and it affects her
quite a lot. I don't think she's going to be
touring again, but rumors are that she's going to do
her performance.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Is it actually what it sees it is? She's stiff
all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's an autoimmune neurological disorder, so it affects her muscle.
So I think she has kind of like spasms and
seizures and it's really painful.
Speaker 13 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, I will be lovely to see her at the
opening ceremony. Really excited about the Olympics. I love watching
the Olympic. There's always a weird time too for us too,
So it's like usually we're just watching that weird infomercial
on TV where it kind of locks people in that
orgasmic massage chair and they look like they're on the
verge of climax.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
You know that one one of these there's a woman
in like.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
A chisty top.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, like, why is she in like a gown?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Because there's some director going We're going to need to
see more chests out and then sell cheers. It's affected weird,
it's a fact at the cheer game. But who has
one of those of the loud I know?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
And who he's a dress in it?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Anyway, I don't have to watch that. Next week the
Olympics will be on. That's that's a good thing. Hey,
we have fresh off two weeks holiday and I spent
a lot of time just doing chores and I'm not handy,
not handy at all. But then there was one job
that was festering away. So in the shower we have tiles, right,
and the tiles are joined together by the grouting. But
then when one tile joins another, say in a corner,
(10:58):
you then have to do something which is called corking.
So it's like we have a sort of a rubber
latex material that joins that gap so then it doesn't
leak through, it.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Doesn't get water.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And I gave corking a go, and I was very nervous.
Went to Bunnings and I was like, I'm new to corking,
never done corking. He's like, you're going to need this,
this and this. Good luck out there gave me some
corking tips, but I didn't Even though the person was
very helpful that I still didn't feel confident enough. So
I went to YouTube. Now I wanted to. I wanted
to pass on this as a bit of a public
(11:32):
service announcement. Be helpful on the show. If you are
ever corking, take a listen to this helpful advice. Okay,
because it definitely helped you. It got me through it.
Here we go.
Speaker 14 (11:44):
The final step to finishing any taile job is to
cock the corners. The reason for the cock is that
the grout is not flexible, and so we'll break out
of the corners over time. The cock will also provide
a watertight seal in the corner. I'll also cock the top.
There's a lot of calking to do, and this is
the way they look before they're cocked. In this case,
I'm using the sanded cock latex cock. The other two
(12:07):
you're going to need is your index finger, because you're
going to use the tip of that finger to smooth
the cock. Always start small. You can always make your
cock cut a little bit larger, but you don't want
to make it too big.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
To begin with, So happy cooking. Everybody. Okay, it will
help you if you Yeah, thank you, no problems.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That johna wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The official portrait for Prince George's eleventh birthday has been
released Little We Are Easter Egg in that he's wearing
a friendship bracelet that he wore to the Tailor Swift
concert and his official portrait.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Thought that bloody you brushed that one out.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
No, it's relatable, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's beautiful. He looks he's definitely fifty to fifty split
of mum and dad, isn't he.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And he's also he's so grown up.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, he does look like one of those adult children,
isn't he.
Speaker 17 (12:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Now, speaking of we want to check this over eight
hundred hEDS. Have you got a kid who is strangely
into adult activities? Because for probably over twelve maybe thirteen months,
I had been having phone conversations on and off with
a friend of mine, a mate, and every now and
then I'll be like, hey, I've just got to take Poppy,
my daughter to dance, and then you'll phone again and
(13:19):
I'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm just waiting outside dance.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You're a dance dad.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, and spoke to him yesterday and he said, oh,
we doing this weekend. I said, oh, Friday, Poppy's got dance.
He's like, oh, where is it? Did they have it
at a pub or something? I'll come along and support
what my reaction is as well, And I said, why
would they have and a eleven year old's dance recital
(13:42):
or a dance competition at a pub? And he's like, oh,
that makes a lot more sense. He thought for over
a year that I had been taking my daughter to
dance dr t s.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
He thought that was a dart.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, you know fifth you know the old hold a
pint on your gars and play darts.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Now.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I was thinking, if you're hearing the words you see
hearing the word darts and it's in relation to an
eleven year old doing physical activity, you're gonna lead more
towards dance than darts, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Or you're gonna ask a follow up question being like,
is you're a eleven year old daughter into dance?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
That's niche Unfortunately, now the setting is not in the pub.
He's not He's not gonna come along and support. No,
that'd be weird, less less appelic. So yeah, we just
want to We want to get this on this morning.
I eight hundred the hats have you got?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Maybe you've got said child who's into darts.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But the whole time, oh your dances. He actually I
thought darts was an unusual sport to again an eleven
year old girl into you know, a stereotype. But yeah,
so yeah, I over of the hat. So you've got
a kid and to add ould activities. Maybe you're a
five year old who loves the chase or something. Yeah,
or a ten year old who calls up carry McIver
(14:56):
on new Stalks. He'd be in the morning and moans
moans about the Left government.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, oh, one hundred hits. You can take us four
four eight siven as well. We've got a Doom of
Being price pack to give away.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Oh, we've got Durmovin price pack, Thomas. What does a
Durmavin price pack do?
Speaker 4 (15:10):
It's got lots of goodies for your skin.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Skin. Yes, people will do stuff for their skin, do they?
What do they do?
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Maybe we can slip you one, John, Yeah, not alluding
to anything.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I'll put it on the darts cop the hats that
johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Ben supposedly has landed.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
He's landed welcome home Ben Boys stranded in Florida. They
couldn't get home due to the global internet outage. We've
been crossing to him daily and we've got a huge
surprise for Ben when he arrives through the gates this morning,
a welcome home party. I know. Hordes of listeners have
made their way up producing Taylor is out there with
them on crowd control. They have signs, placards, and it'll
(15:50):
be it'll.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Be the party that he does not want now, all the.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Exact thing he wants after twenty four hours of travel,
and we'll cross live to the airport. Very surely be
first of all kids and adult activities, after my friend
believed for twelve months, just purely through mishearing, that I
was taking my eleven year old daughter to darts. Darts is?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I think this is kind of on you because you'd
be telling him that you're a dance dad, and you're like,
I'm taking Poppy to dance.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, you're obviously not saying it right.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
If I said a recital, yeah, it's probably my pronunciation
dance darts. And also there's some responsibility on the receiver
of those colms as well to go Why would they
not follow up question eleven year old girl DUTs? Yeah,
but yeah, eight hundred hits. Have you got a child
into adult activities? Like do you have a fourteen year
(16:41):
old who's a rampant gambler on the horses on the weekend?
So these are terrible, but imagine a lot of the
rural kids are a lot more adults than your city slickers,
aren't they.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, they're driving at seven exactly.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
It is a very adult activity.

Did she she might be a bit young for the
Hunger Games? But where does she get archery from?
Speaker 18 (17:47):
The first time she saw it was on the line
the watch in the wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Ah, and you were like, you know what, my kid
needs a bow and an arrow.
Speaker 18 (17:56):
No, she decided that she went to a bow and arrow,
so we got her a Pect six and she started
with that. But she has seen the Hunger Games.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, that'd be in her wheelhouse. Is she into anything
else adult as well?
Speaker 19 (18:12):

family vacation.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Begs packed down to our last clean pair of underwear
and socks.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
You know, it's the end of the travels. And then
we got word that.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
The computers around the world had basically we'd gone down
the global.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I put and banged up abroad in a comfortable hotel
in Florida, he learned new things about himself.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
The toilets, how they have that sort of a lot
more water.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
It's very hard to have a pee quietly in the
middle of the night, I've discovered.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
And the heartbreaking agony of a renowned tight ass dealing
with the never ending pressures on his credit card.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
Come on, I'm not sure what travel insurance are going
to are going to pay for, so hey, you never know.
They're like, just keep the receipts, make a claim, keep
it as low as possible.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
And now are our little illegal American alien makes his
way home.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Finally, all going well, getting out of Orlando, going to Atlanta,
Atlanta to Los Angeles and then get on a flight
back to orphans.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
A greasy, tired. Ben Boyce returns this morning on the
Hits and we are alive to the end of our
to the airport's producer, Tailor, describe the setting. What are
the scenes out there this morning for the welcome home party.
Speaker 16 (21:06):
So we've got a poked crowd here at the international arrivors,
a lot of unbraided hair coming out of the arrivals gate.
Speaker 13 (21:14):
So we're assuming that a Bali flight has just landed.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
A lot of people, a lot of hot white girls
have braided here who are going to regret that in
about three days when they after return to work.
Speaker 16 (21:25):
So we're just people watching right now to get the
vibes he pens anywhere me, So we're just watching that closely.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, great stuff. Now you've got some signs to it.
Here's no idea that this welcome home party has been
planned for him, Sir Dave Dobbin. We did reach out
to Sir Dave Dobbin and his people. He wanted to
be there. Unfortunately he couldn't make it out this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So as digil in conflict, Yeah, yeah, but you do.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Have allowed speaker to play welcome home. We understand Taylor.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
Yeah, we absolutely do.
Speaker 16 (21:52):
Got producer Grace on the audio technology this morning, so
she's ready to blast that as loud as she can
as soon as we see Ben step foot.
Speaker 13 (22:01):
You know, very exciting.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Times here, and this is no good at night news
and another good question, and I completely forgot this might
be no good on the live news and another good question, prime,
and but I completely forgot.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
What I loant is the confirmation on the little arrivals
board that he has landed.
Speaker 16 (22:23):
Yes, we definitely have the landed sign. Now great, but yeah,
there's a few flights that have just landed. It's a
bit of food traffic, but that's okay. Big of the crowd,
the better reaction, I guess.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You know, if this was radio about ten or fifteen
years ago, we would have called customs and gone, hey
there's guy been Boyce's carrying somebody, you know, snaggling. Something's
got bomb.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Make I think that exactly weapon, I think I.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Remember, maybe it's subliminate subconsciously in my mind. So we
haven't done that though. All we've done is given him
a nice welcome home party. So that's what we've been come.
So Ben will will keep you up to date. Taylor
will keep in touch and hopefully get the live arrival
of Ben Boyce, the hits that Johnaan Ben.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Podcast down, So thank yourself lucky.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
So one sleep till Megan's birthday. Three sleeps to the Olympics.
It's good an exciting week.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yes, and Snoop dog has been confirmed as one of
the Olympic torch carriers.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I read there's nothing this guy won't do. He has
diversified in so many areas. Remember he did an a
New Zealand safety video.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
That's right, that was my god with that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Weird puppet, remember Rico with like I had like a mixer.
I think a cancellable Mexican accent puppet. But yes, Snoop Dogg,
I feel like he just sees an email in his
zimbox and goes.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
That'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I'll do that.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Insert all of.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
The jokes about this is the greatest ever lighter. Everyone's
hoping he lights like a joint while I don't think
that's allowed.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
But they do a lot of drug testing at the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, obviously not drug testing the torch carrier.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He's also have you heard his kids TV show?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Uh No, I've heard his commentary. Does Olympic commentary. Did
last Olympics with Kevin Hard. It was hilarious. So I
think he's doing that again this Olympics. Yeah, I didn't
realize he was getting into kid's television.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, so my three year old even knows who Snoop
Dogg is now because of his TV show Doggie Land.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
This is a little bit from.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It, Doggie Land. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Affirmations are positive statements to help us the challenge and
overcome when you're not feeling good and have negative thoughts.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So repeat after me. Come on, every one. There is
no one better to be than myself.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You can watch these multiple episodes. They sing wheels on
the bus or like all of what you'd expect. It's
an animated show and he's one of the characters.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I'm just waiting for a submission of hose or there's nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
It feels like it's gonna come to.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Be an amazing day. Amazing may feelings matter?
Speaker 13 (25:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I get better every single day.
Speaker 13 (25:07):
I love him.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Imagine cele line of Lighters with Martha Stewet.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah you got to admire it, don't you really? The
business tenacity of it. Yeah, there Snoop Snoop Dogg, the
torch Bearer. Do you know we spoke to someone who
they're an aspiring young rapper. They just phoned through the
rock for some reason when we were on the rock,
and he's like, you never guess what I just did.
He flew himself to America on an absolute whim. He
(25:36):
wanted to be a rapper, and so he spent He's like,
I'll give myself two weeks over here, every day knocking
on doors of record companies and trying to harass people
and spamming people on social media and stuff. And it
got to the end of the two weeks and he
was literally walking onto the plane at LAX. He was
in the departure lounge and he got a big message
(25:59):
back on it Instagram from Snoop Dogg. What saying, Homie? Now,
I'm ad libbing here. I don't know what Snoop on
it said, but it was the gist of it was, Homie,
meet me at my studio.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
So he left the airport, got in an uber, went
straight to Studogs studio and recorded with him.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Can you imagine how many dm Snoop dog gets.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's crazy to filter.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Through and actually respond when he probably gets a million
of those days.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I think he must have got to a certain level
of snoops people right, Yeah, and her harassed them and
so he ended up recording with him in his studio.
And that's all they did, just record music. Nothing else, No, yeah,
and listen to kids music is well recorded, lovely family
friendly kids songs. Yeah. Dog in the end. Then he
hopped on the plane the following.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Day the hits that Jona and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Waiting for his arrival through the gates at Auckland International Airport.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
God had a end me now moment yesterday after work,
just walking to the car park across the road where
we park, and ran into a lovely lady do I
know works for another company, and she was just outside
and she she welcomed me, Hi, how are you? Boom
boom boom, boom boom. Had the hug when you pretend
(27:21):
to kiss the cheek, but you don't kiss the cheek,
you just kind of gently bang cheeks.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Well you kiss the air accidentally.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah, did that? That was all textbook stuff. But she
was also with someone else. Now, I this person was
giving me a familiar smile, you know, and I couldn't
figure out if we'd met before or not.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
It was fifty three en in these situations, I.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Don't know the time, I don't know. And so she's
looking at me and I've come fresh off a hug
and a bang cheek and she's smiling at me, and
I'm like, well, I've hugged someone in front of her.
She's going to need a hug.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
She's does you don't think you know that person? You
don't hug them?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Jo, Well, I went in for a hug. It was
a gamble. It was fifty to fifty years to whether
I did know them. And guess what, you turned out
I didn't because I got there. You know what, the
moment that I realized I didn't, I got the oh
a hug, Oh a hug, And no hugger ever wants
to hear oh a hug because at that moment you
(28:26):
realize I have no idea who this person is. They
have no And now I'm now I'm the first let's
meet each other first time, and I have a hug.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Person like, at least you've gone in too friendly than
being a jerk.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
You know, she's gonna say.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I don't want to leave. I didn't want to leave
A hug.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, hopefully friendly.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Actually the warning signs were there because as soon as
I went for the hug, she kind of left her
arms beside her body and so I ended up rapping,
so she was kind of locked in my embrace without
you'll get.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
An email from someone.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, we're clearly not on hugging terms. But now now
my question is to you, now we have hugged, next
time I see this person.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Now it'll be an ongoing Joe needs to be a
hugg Yeah, you need your hug.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
She was like, no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, so I wonder your quick question to also to
hug or not to hug if you're fifty to fifty
on whether you know someone.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I think the general rulers don't thank you, you know, like,
don't don't body slam someone if you don't think you
know them.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Fantastic, thank you for their life.
Speaker 1 (29:26):

Back in the country, emotional scenes when they a.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Couple of people that that we hired.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
An you too, he could see through.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
It's still nice when someone's hearing your name when you comes.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Through, whether they're paid or unpaid, the thought that counts.
We're in the middle two of the best song ever
at the moment on the radio station, thanks to you
finding the best song ever. It's a big task, big project.
And at the moment the voting lines are open for
these two song and the remember the dance doesn't mean
(35:26):
I wanted to win, and so that you were doing
the dance every time we've played it this morning, you've
like a robot switched into action. So you will announce
the word for that in the next ten minutes or so. Now,
I told a lie, and we were out for dinner,
my wife and I and the waiter approached the table
(35:48):
and he said, special occasion question mark. Now, I've never
I've never lied about a special occasion, and this is
what we want to open up eight d Have you
lied about a special occasion to get something for free?
You can text four for eight seven as well. So
I'm thinking this, mom, but my opportunity. You know what
treasure trove of freebies and goodies do I get? If
(36:10):
I say yes, it's.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
A special it does sound like there's something coming.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
If you say yes, well, no one asked that question
and goes, oh, that's nice to know, and then doesn't
follow Yeah, so special occasion. I was like, yeah, yeah
it is, and I said it like I said it
like that, I didn't say it with confidence, and he
was looking dead into my eyes and he was like,
(36:35):
you cheeky, lying little rascal. Because then I didn't even
say it's our winning anniversary. It's a follow up, Yeah,
yeah it is. And he's like, okay, guess what. He
has offered a generic congratulations to both of us, and
then he walks off, and I'm sitting there thinking, Okay,
(36:57):
what's what's going to come of this? We had the meal,
we're there in of the night. He delivers a special
occasion cupcake. We've got a free capcake, chocolate capcake with
a candle jabbed inserted into the middle of it.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Did they what was the message?
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Though? Sorry, I do like to see congratulations on a
special occasion because you're two cagy to tell us what
it is.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
It could be anniversary, can be job, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
I hope for his sake he picked the stalest of
all the celebratory cupcakes to give to us because we
didn't it didn't taste you know, do they know you're
lying in that situation?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I think they knew you were lying because you were
like and then no details. Don't feel bad, though, because
this is something that me and my husband do all
the time, really overseas. So you know when you travel
and sometimes the hotel will ask you is it a
special occasion?
Speaker 4 (37:51):
We always say it's our anniversary, just because.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Sometimes you'll get like a little like chalky plate and
it's like, can be anniversary?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
So what you get? Is it traditionally just free chocolate?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, or like a little treat in your room sometimes
or sometimes if you're lucky, they might upgrade you to
a different room.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
They don't know, and they never ask for like a
wedding certificate.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Yeah, you've just got to go on and be like.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
They must go They must know you're lying.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
You've got to sell it. You've got to know you're
going to do it, and you've got to be like, yeah,
oh my god, it's so many years. Give them more details.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Than they wants. That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Talking about when you've lied about a special occasion. Didn't
feel good about it. I see if we're having a
special occasion, And I got a free cupcake, free cupcake
with a candle in it, and it tasted the cupcake
tasted like diabetes and deceit all in one. Didn't taste lies.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
And also they totally knew you were lying because they
asked what if you a special occasion?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
You just said yes, yeah, no details.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Here's a tip for new players into the special occasion
lie game. Have it in your head that you're going
in there to lie about a special occasion. Because I
was called off guard by the question, then my response
is probably equally as frazzled. So yeah, I like, and
we did ask. You know, does the industry know when
you are lying about a special occasion and someone has
called through to one hundred that HiT's Melissa who actually
(39:12):
works in a hotel, and you can tell you you
can tell when we are lying, Melissa, Yes, oh god,
they can, can you actually?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (39:23):
But then you have to play the game and you
have to go out there and put bloody free chocolates
on pillows.
Speaker 19 (39:30):
No, it's easy to tell, is it?
Speaker 13 (39:33):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Is it the pause?
Speaker 19 (39:37):
You can normally tell by if they're excited or not,
or it's just the tone of the voice. Even if
it wasn't believable, I'd probably go along with it just
to yeah, you feel special.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
I told you it was all about the enthusiasm. Oh
my god, yes.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Actually we need to put on a better performance. Yeah,
thank you so much. Really, appreciate your time, no worries
and hello the heads.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Did you lie about a special occasion?
Speaker 15 (40:03):
Hi, not so much a special occasion, but I always
make my kids lie about their age so they get
in for cheaper. We go into swimming pools or restaurants.
You know, they're like under twelve six dollars. So I'm like, okay, son,
you're eleven. I'm thirteen, and I'm like, shot if up, okay,
(40:24):
I know.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Do you know I did this once with my my
almost three year old. You had to be like one
to get in for free, and I was like, do
not talk, do not say anything.
Speaker 15 (40:33):
Yeah, I've done that with my daughter. She's four, but yeah,
back when she was like two or three and we're
ch a month and I'm like two kids and a
one year old and I'm like, please don't notice my
two year old not wearing that peas and like talking.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
He's like yeah what. Eight year old's like yeah good. Honestly,
we try to do that with my forty year old son.
I was thinking was like Rainbow's End or something, and
we're like, okay, bro, it's like half the price if
you say you're under eleven, I don't look I don't
look at it. And we got to the gate and
the wonderful person behind the counter was like and like
looking at him, and he's like, looking at me.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Some people are terrible kids ages.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
He's I couldn't.
Speaker 15 (41:17):
Cut down a little bit, been down a smaller.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
Dishwasher died. I know this sounds like first world problems.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Two things I know about Megan, purpose is working closely
with you. You're never not sick. Yeah, that's the number one.
And the second one is you haven't had a kitchen
floor for about two times.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Yeah. So the floors fixed, the fridge is fixed.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
But then the dishwasher died.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
And I know this sounds like I sound like a
joke for anyone who doesn't have a dishwasher. But as
soon as that goes out of commission, God, the admin
of actually.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Doing dishes probably one of the most.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Mind numbing tasks.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
It is, yeah, but one of the most disrespected appliances
in the household. You really take get for granted, the dishwasher.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
And I'm about to illustrate how because our dishwasher wasn't
like emptying, right, and so we pulled it apart.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
We were like, obviously something stuck in there, pulled it
apart ourselves several.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Times and couldn't find anything. It's making a hell of
a noise. So we're like, we're gonna have to do it.
We're gonna have to call a repair person to come out.
And so he came yesterday.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Did your banter because we've had that conversation whether you like,
whether the repair people like the banter or they'd rather
just shut up and get on with the job. Did
you bance?
Speaker 4 (42:31):
We did bance.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Generally, I don't like bands with the people I don't know,
I get a bit awkward.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
But he was really lovely. We had bants about the
weather and all the hot topics.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah, he had someone he had another customer call him
and I could hear this person, very loud and middle aged.
Middle aged man called him and he was the next job.
He said to him that he lived in a very
affluent part of Auckland.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
He said, just.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Make yourself at home. The house is wide open. We
might not be there before you leave, but just just
leave and leave it open. It's not a problem.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I was like, what can you say, make yourself at home?
What are you expecting the other person to do?
Speaker 4 (43:08):
He left him the Wi Fi passwords.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Well, he really didn't say make yourself at home?
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Yeah, yeah, can I to the fridge and get some snacks?
Speaker 3 (43:14):
So if they came home, yeah, he's on the on
the couch eating watching Truly, you've made yourself at home?
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Would you be offended by that if you literally said
make yourself at home?
Speaker 4 (43:26):
I don't think this guy, what have you said?
Speaker 2 (43:27):
A very chill and like lived in an expensive part
of Auckland and just had.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
I was like, wait, can you tell me.
Speaker 13 (43:34):
Here's the dress?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
But the worst part was so he finally fixed the dishwasher.
It took him five minutes at best. There was a
piece of plastic stuck in there. I don't know where
the plastic came from. And he was such a nice guy, but.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
He said to me, ma'am, you just have to make
sure you wrench your dishes properly.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
I was like, yeah, that no humbles your two when
you've gone to the effort of getting a repair person
and then five minutes found it. Yeah, we had one hundred.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
And fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Oh, we had have blocked toilets when we're at a
place where staying away and it was at a period
where someone in the household was flushing you didn't know
you couldn't the the wipes, you know, the nephew whites. Yeah,
it was at a period when no one knew. That
was terrible for the plumbing system. The environment guy came over,
was like, have you been flushing wipes down here? We're like, nape, No, definitely,
(44:26):
not one hundred percent. Now, don't you even accuse us
of flushy whites down there. Five minutes lady comes out
with this giant clump of wipes at this hand. He's like,
that'll be turning fifty dollars six for the caller.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
There's nothing more confronting than them going through your guns. Yeah,
oh so sorry.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
Shout out to all their people out there doing God's work.
With the John and Ben Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Cheers to Dilma making the world a better tea. As
Ben makes his way back to New Zealand, his arrival
is imminent. Can I just say, this is my birthday
week and I'm very much a birthday week extravaganza kind
of person. This is he's completely overshadowed all of my life.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Do you like a whole week long leading I'm sorry.
We have really been heavily focused on the return of
Ben Boyce, who's been trapped over in America.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I started to think he was trying to avoid my birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, it is tomorrow about me. It is tomorrow, a
very short runway.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
But he's made it back in time, that's the main thing.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well, hopefully he's going to be making it back in time.
We've been tracking his plane, like you know how those
people track Taylor Swiss private jet to make her feel
guilty about her carbon footprint. We've been doing the same thing,
same thing. And if you have just joined us this morning,
here is the harrowing tale of one man trapped in America.
(00:58):
It's been a tumultuous two weeks weeks for the United
States of Americas.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Donald Trump was shot out during a rally in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
President Joe Biden has just announced that he is dropping
out of the twenty twenty four presidential reace.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
But nothing has captured the hearts and imaginations of America
more so than the little Kiwi battler stranded on a
family vacation.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
Bags packed down to our last clean pair of underwear
and socks.
Speaker 8 (01:25):
You know, it's the end of the travels.
Speaker 9 (01:26):
And then we got word that the computers around the
world have basically gone down the global I out and.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Banged up abroad in a comfortable hotel in Florida, he
learned new things about himself.
Speaker 9 (01:39):
The toilets, how they have that sort of a lot
more water.
Speaker 10 (01:42):
It's very hard to have a pee quietly in the
middle of the night, I've discovered.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
And the heartbreaking agony of a renowned tight ass dealing
with the never ending pressures on his credit card.
Speaker 11 (01:52):
Now on, I'm not sure what travel insurance are going
to are gotta pay for so hey, you never know.
Speaker 8 (01:57):
They're like, just keep the receipts, make a claim. People,
there's love.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I was Possibleward Now our little illegal American alien makes
his way home.
Speaker 12 (02:05):
Finally, all going well, getting out of Orlando, going to Atlanta,
Atlanta to Los Angeles and then get on a flight
back doors.
Speaker 3 (02:13):

The airport, yeah, if you've got nothing else to do.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
We have seen to welcome party for him that he

Speaker 1 (02:57):
The Hits that jonaan Ben podcast is inbound.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
In about an hour, he'll be landing finally in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I never thought would see him again, to be honest,
thanks to the global internet outage on Friday, which calls
him to be again still really confuses me. Nine days later.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Whatever he is, we tease him, but we've missed him.
And God he's been.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Through a role trying to get Oh my gosh, this.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
His updates are so draining and it's not even affecting us.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah. I imagine too. At that stage, you just want
to get home.
Speaker 13 (03:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And his daughters are so tired they've been sleeping in
the airport.
Speaker 14 (03:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know it's like anyway, well, we'll be welcoming him home.
And that's what I'll tell you. What you want to
do is when he arrives, jet legged, tires, exhausted, managing
the kids as be welcomed by a huge welcoming party
with signs and cameras and Philly cannons.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, I would love to get that this morning. So
he arrived seven fourteen. If you want to make you
out to the airport, we'll be crossing live with rolling coverage.
Yesterday mentioned had an intruder in their house and I've
really oversold it. I've done that radio thing where it
was a it was just a bird.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
To be honest, was it a fantail? There's really bad luck.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
What death?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, I think it means something something or someone in
your life's going to die.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Sweet and the Lake, Yeah, I know it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Good fantail came like, this guy's already dead on the inside.
Nothing we can do in this house. But yeah, it
was kind of like a sparrow. But my issue with
when birds come into the house, everyone's in a flap.
The bird's flapping, I'm flapping. It's out of its natural environment,
and all parties are equally surprised to see each other,
(04:37):
you know, and the bird doesn't know any exit point.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Because there's glass everywhere. They're smacking into the windows thinking
that's how they're getting out.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And sometimes I don't know why, but a bird's biological
reaction to being trapped inside, it's just defecate everywhere, just
all over the place, you know, bang, flying to a window,
poop there, I'm walking over here, or poopo here.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
So to be finding bird poo for a while.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah, And I was trying to remain calm because I
think last year or the year before, someone phoned up
Wonderful Hits Listen To phoned up and actually said, if
there's ever a bird in the house, simple trick you
do is just shut all the curtains apart from a
little gap where you can open the door and they
can see the light and I was trying to do that,
but I was trying to communicate to the bird, It's
all right, mate, just stay there, I'll shut I'll do
(05:25):
all this and it'll be fine. So we need like
an app where we can communicate and then that passes
on to the bird.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You know, like you travel overseas and you're in a
foreign country or something that would.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Be maybe elon can get onto that.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
And they just can't. For whatever reason, birds can't figure
out the concept of glass. You know, I'll give you
one slam into the glass too, maybe three tops, but
by then you need to say to yourself, this isn't
the exit point. Yeah, but they just keep going.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They're gonna break their neck and then you're gonna, yeahd
make it out.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It made it out this time. This time the had
a safe eggs at. Once we got home, there was
like a pigeon for weirdly sitting and popping my daughter's
barbie house. Got on through the chimney and it was
just like sitting there like steering, you know how they
kind of look at you, sort of calmly, like a
serial murderer of pigeons tilts their head so that one
was injured. Couldn't fly, carried it out, put it on
the deck and boy a boy, did that met a
(06:22):
grizzly end with the neighbor's cat. It was the sircle
of love and we'll watch through the window. It was
a massacre. Yeah, but anyway, good one.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yesterday the hats that Jonavan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Quarter past seven. He drew to land after an absolute
rick moarole.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, we've been tracking his flights. Do you know just
before he left his like he's like, here's some audio
of you. I'm talking to the taxi driver who's taking
us to the airport. And guess what he is punishing
the taxi driver about. If you could pick three to
one of the three things that Ben boys to be
punishing the taxi driver about. Probably his credit card payments
with the insurance company he's going to cover it.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, did he mention Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Didn't mention Donald Trump? Cricket? Cricket his other love cricket.
Have a listen to this. This is him talking to
a US text about cricktway to the airport. Now you
just mentioned cricket.
Speaker 15 (07:19):
To me, right, yes, sir, USA beaten back.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I know cricket. Have you ever watched the game of
cricket in your life.
Speaker 13 (07:26):
Not the whole game, but I do understand it, okay.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And then it just goes on to him explaining the
rules of cricket, excite cricket, and then he goes on
to explain the twitty twitty format, the one day format,
the five day format, and I was like this poor
taxi driver before he just wants to roll them out
of the car on the motorway. But you can welcome
home being boys this morning if you wish. Leading the
welcome home party our wonderful Australian producer Taylor live from
(07:53):
the airport. The scenes electric, are they Taylor? At the moment?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (07:58):
Mate, it's actually so full.
Speaker 16 (08:00):
I think word's gotten out that the Benjamin Boyce and
his family are landing this morning.
Speaker 13 (08:04):
So the crowd is wild.
Speaker 16 (08:06):
We've got signs, we've got streamers, we are ready to go.
Speaker 13 (08:09):
We've got background music even prepared. So I just hope
he's pumps.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
What are the signs saying that you've made this.
Speaker 16 (08:16):
So we've got one that says welcome home Ben from
your plastic surgery procedure. And you know, we're really gonna
We're really gonna parade that one around, just so everyone
knows what he's been through. The auteal, you know, and
explain why he looks so great as well off.
Speaker 13 (08:32):
A long haul fly.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, you'd say, how would someone come off such a
long day of travel look ten years younger.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Just so that the bruising could go down.
Speaker 13 (08:44):
Exactly. You know, vulnerability goes a long way in life.
Speaker 16 (08:47):
So hopefully everyone can get on board with him and
just give him that warm welcome.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Okay, make your way out to the report now siven fourteen.
The flight arrives home. He has no idea that we're
going to be out there, and there's probably to be honest,
the last thing you want to see is Grace and
Taylor and a couple of promotional people from.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
That he started as jurning home on Friday, it's now
a Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
He doesn't want to see any of us. He wants
to see his bed.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
I can't wait to see his reaction or hear his reaction.
Taylor will catch you up with you surely appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Mentioning that Snoop Dogg is mentioned in the news that
he is going to be the torch bearer for the
Olympic Games. Also, it's rumored that Celine Dionne is going
to be making your Grain return during the opening ceremony.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
She's not been well.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
No, she's got stiff person syndrome and it affects her
quite a lot. I don't think she's going to be
touring again, but rumors are that she's going to do
her performance.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Is it actually what it sees it is? She's stiff
all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's an autoimmune neurological disorder, so it affects her muscle.
So I think she has kind of like spasms and
seizures and it's really painful.
Speaker 13 (09:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, I will be lovely to see her at the
opening ceremony. Really excited about the Olympics. I love watching
the Olympic. There's always a weird time too for us too,
So it's like usually we're just watching that weird infomercial
on TV where it kind of locks people in that
orgasmic massage chair and they look like they're on the
verge of climax.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
You know that one one of these there's a woman
in like.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
A chisty top.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, like, why is she in like a gown?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Because there's some director going We're going to need to
see more chests out and then sell cheers. It's affected weird,
it's a fact at the cheer game. But who has
one of those of the loud I know?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
And who he's a dress in it?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Anyway, I don't have to watch that. Next week the
Olympics will be on. That's that's a good thing. Hey,
we have fresh off two weeks holiday and I spent
a lot of time just doing chores and I'm not handy,
not handy at all. But then there was one job
that was festering away. So in the shower we have tiles, right,
and the tiles are joined together by the grouting. But
then when one tile joins another, say in a corner,
(10:58):
you then have to do something which is called corking.
So it's like we have a sort of a rubber
latex material that joins that gap so then it doesn't
leak through, it.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Doesn't get water.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
And I gave corking a go, and I was very nervous.
Went to Bunnings and I was like, I'm new to corking,
never done corking. He's like, you're going to need this,
this and this. Good luck out there gave me some
corking tips, but I didn't Even though the person was
very helpful that I still didn't feel confident enough. So
I went to YouTube. Now I wanted to. I wanted
to pass on this as a bit of a public
(11:32):
service announcement. Be helpful on the show. If you are
ever corking, take a listen to this helpful advice. Okay,
because it definitely helped you. It got me through it.
Here we go.
Speaker 14 (11:44):
The final step to finishing any taile job is to
cock the corners. The reason for the cock is that
the grout is not flexible, and so we'll break out
of the corners over time. The cock will also provide
a watertight seal in the corner. I'll also cock the top.
There's a lot of calking to do, and this is
the way they look before they're cocked. In this case,
I'm using the sanded cock latex cock. The other two
(12:07):
you're going to need is your index finger, because you're
going to use the tip of that finger to smooth
the cock. Always start small. You can always make your
cock cut a little bit larger, but you don't want
to make it too big.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
To begin with, So happy cooking. Everybody. Okay, it will
help you if you Yeah, thank you, no problems.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That johna wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The official portrait for Prince George's eleventh birthday has been
released Little We Are Easter Egg in that he's wearing
a friendship bracelet that he wore to the Tailor Swift
concert and his official portrait.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Thought that bloody you brushed that one out.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
No, it's relatable, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's beautiful. He looks he's definitely fifty to fifty split
of mum and dad, isn't he.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
And he's also he's so grown up.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, he does look like one of those adult children,
isn't he.
Speaker 17 (12:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Now, speaking of we want to check this over eight
hundred hEDS. Have you got a kid who is strangely
into adult activities? Because for probably over twelve maybe thirteen months,
I had been having phone conversations on and off with
a friend of mine, a mate, and every now and
then I'll be like, hey, I've just got to take Poppy,
my daughter to dance, and then you'll phone again and
(13:19):
I'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm just waiting outside dance.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
You're a dance dad.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, and spoke to him yesterday and he said, oh,
we doing this weekend. I said, oh, Friday, Poppy's got dance.
He's like, oh, where is it? Did they have it
at a pub or something? I'll come along and support
what my reaction is as well, And I said, why
would they have and a eleven year old's dance recital
(13:42):
or a dance competition at a pub? And he's like, oh,
that makes a lot more sense. He thought for over
a year that I had been taking my daughter to
dance dr t s.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
He thought that was a dart.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, you know fifth you know the old hold a
pint on your gars and play darts.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
Now.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I was thinking, if you're hearing the words you see
hearing the word darts and it's in relation to an
eleven year old doing physical activity, you're gonna lead more
towards dance than darts, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Or you're gonna ask a follow up question being like,
is you're a eleven year old daughter into dance?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
That's niche Unfortunately, now the setting is not in the pub.
He's not He's not gonna come along and support. No,
that'd be weird, less less appelic. So yeah, we just
want to We want to get this on this morning.
I eight hundred the hats have you got?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Maybe you've got said child who's into darts.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But the whole time, oh your dances. He actually I
thought darts was an unusual sport to again an eleven
year old girl into you know, a stereotype. But yeah,
so yeah, I over of the hat. So you've got
a kid and to add ould activities. Maybe you're a
five year old who loves the chase or something. Yeah,
or a ten year old who calls up carry McIver
(14:56):
on new Stalks. He'd be in the morning and moans
moans about the Left government.

been crossing to him daily and we've got a huge
surprise for Ben when he arrives through the gates this morning,
a welcome home party. I know. Hordes of listeners have
made their way up producing Taylor is out there with
them on crowd control. They have signs, placards, and it'll
(15:50):
be it'll.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Be the party that he does not want now, all the.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Exact thing he wants after twenty four hours of travel,
and we'll cross live to the airport. Very surely be
first of all kids and adult activities, after my friend
believed for twelve months, just purely through mishearing, that I
was taking my eleven year old daughter to darts. Darts is?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I think this is kind of on you because you'd
be telling him that you're a dance dad, and you're like,
I'm taking Poppy to dance.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, you're obviously not saying it right.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
If I said a recital, yeah, it's probably my pronunciation
dance darts. And also there's some responsibility on the receiver
of those colms as well to go Why would they
not follow up question eleven year old girl DUTs? Yeah,
but yeah, eight hundred hits. Have you got a child
into adult activities? Like do you have a fourteen year
(16:41):
old who's a rampant gambler on the horses on the weekend?
So these are terrible, but imagine a lot of the
rural kids are a lot more adults than your city slickers,
aren't they.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, they're driving at seven exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I remember always going to Angora where my cousins had
a farm in North Canterbury, and I was like these
are these are men and women and they were ten
or eleven years old.
Speaker 14 (17:04):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You drive through the country and some of them are
on like right on lawn mowers, mowing the lawns, and
you're like that.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Is yeah, it's a child, mate.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
What do we do waking up some fences today? Then
we're down at a pub later on this afternoon. But yeah,

tindhawks from to walk through those Gates. But Anne, you've
got a child into adult activities.
Speaker 14 (17:32):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 18 (17:32):
I've got a eleven year old girl called Jeffln and
she does archery.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
It is a very adult activity.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Did she she might be a bit young for the
Hunger Games? But where does she get archery from?
Speaker 18 (17:47):
The first time she saw it was on the line
the watch in the wardrobe.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Ah, and you were like, you know what, my kid
needs a bow and an arrow.
Speaker 18 (17:56):
No, she decided that she went to a bow and arrow,
so we got her a Pect six and she started
with that. But she has seen the Hunger Games.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, that'd be in her wheelhouse. Is she into anything
else adult as well?
Speaker 19 (18:12):
No, that's about it.
Speaker 18 (18:14):
Then drama and acting, but that's also.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, archer is three. We have someone texting I have
a champion chess player eight year old chess player wow
on four four eighty seven as well. It really doesn't
make you feel like you have not nailed life when
you hear stories about kids playing archery and chess at
ten and eight.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Is she like really good? Will we see her at
the Olympics?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
May?
Speaker 17 (18:37):
Possibly?
Speaker 18 (18:37):
They have told us that she's got good form, so
maybe he has time. She might be in the Olympics,
obably twelve years, won't it.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
This is brilliant nine year old. Just come through here

cigarette for me.

golf obsessed and he's gone kind of Tiger Woods dead

So if you don't know where he's been the past
couple of days.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
It's been a tumultuous two weeks for the United States
of America.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Donald Trump was shot out during a rally in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
President Joe Biden has just announced that he is dropping
out of the twenty twenty four presidential breath.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
But nothing has captured the hearts and imaginations of America
more so than the little Kiwi battler stranded on a
family vacation.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Begs packed down to our last clean pair of underwear
and socks.
Speaker 8 (20:01):
You know, it's the end of the travels. And then
we got word that.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
The computers around the world had basically we'd gone down
the global.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I put and banged up abroad in a comfortable hotel
in Florida, he learned new things about himself.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
The toilets, how they have that sort of a lot
more water.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
It's very hard to have a pee quietly in the
middle of the night, I've discovered.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
And the heartbreaking agony of a renowned tight ass dealing
with the never ending pressures on his credit card.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
Come on, I'm not sure what travel insurance are going
to are going to pay for, so hey, you never know.
They're like, just keep the receipts, make a claim, keep
it as low as possible.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
And now are our little illegal American alien makes his
way home.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Finally, all going well, getting out of Orlando, going to Atlanta,
Atlanta to Los Angeles and then get on a flight
back to orphans.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
A greasy, tired. Ben Boyce returns this morning on the
Hits and we are alive to the end of our
to the airport's producer, Tailor, describe the setting. What are
the scenes out there this morning for the welcome home party.
Speaker 16 (21:06):
So we've got a poked crowd here at the international arrivors,
a lot of unbraided hair coming out of the arrivals gate.
Speaker 13 (21:14):
So we're assuming that a Bali flight has just landed.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
A lot of people, a lot of hot white girls
have braided here who are going to regret that in
about three days when they after return to work.
Speaker 16 (21:25):
So we're just people watching right now to get the
vibes he pens anywhere me, So we're just watching that closely.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, great stuff. Now you've got some signs to it.
Here's no idea that this welcome home party has been
planned for him, Sir Dave Dobbin. We did reach out
to Sir Dave Dobbin and his people. He wanted to
be there. Unfortunately he couldn't make it out this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So as digil in conflict, Yeah, yeah, but you do.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Have allowed speaker to play welcome home. We understand Taylor.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
Yeah, we absolutely do.
Speaker 16 (21:52):
Got producer Grace on the audio technology this morning, so
she's ready to blast that as loud as she can
as soon as we see Ben step foot.
Speaker 13 (22:01):
You know, very exciting.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Times here, and this is no good at night news
and another good question, and I completely forgot this might
be no good on the live news and another good question, prime,
and but I completely forgot.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
What I loant is the confirmation on the little arrivals
board that he has landed.
Speaker 16 (22:23):
Yes, we definitely have the landed sign. Now great, but yeah,
there's a few flights that have just landed. It's a
bit of food traffic, but that's okay. Big of the crowd,
the better reaction, I guess.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You know, if this was radio about ten or fifteen
years ago, we would have called customs and gone, hey
there's guy been Boyce's carrying somebody, you know, snaggling. Something's
got bomb.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Make I think that exactly weapon, I think I.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Remember, maybe it's subliminate subconsciously in my mind. So we
haven't done that though. All we've done is given him
a nice welcome home party. So that's what we've been come.
So Ben will will keep you up to date. Taylor
will keep in touch and hopefully get the live arrival
of Ben Boyce, the hits that Johnaan Ben.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Podcast down, So thank yourself lucky.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
So one sleep till Megan's birthday. Three sleeps to the Olympics.
It's good an exciting week.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yes, and Snoop dog has been confirmed as one of
the Olympic torch carriers.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I read there's nothing this guy won't do. He has
diversified in so many areas. Remember he did an a
New Zealand safety video.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
That's right, that was my god with that.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Weird puppet, remember Rico with like I had like a mixer.
I think a cancellable Mexican accent puppet. But yes, Snoop Dogg,
I feel like he just sees an email in his
zimbox and goes.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
That'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I'll do that.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Insert all of.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
The jokes about this is the greatest ever lighter. Everyone's
hoping he lights like a joint while I don't think
that's allowed.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
But they do a lot of drug testing at the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, obviously not drug testing the torch carrier.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He's also have you heard his kids TV show?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Uh No, I've heard his commentary. Does Olympic commentary. Did
last Olympics with Kevin Hard. It was hilarious. So I
think he's doing that again this Olympics. Yeah, I didn't
realize he was getting into kid's television.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, so my three year old even knows who Snoop
Dogg is now because of his TV show Doggie Land.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
This is a little bit from.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It, Doggie Land. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Affirmations are positive statements to help us the challenge and
overcome when you're not feeling good and have negative thoughts.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So repeat after me. Come on, every one. There is
no one better to be than myself.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
You can watch these multiple episodes. They sing wheels on
the bus or like all of what you'd expect. It's
an animated show and he's one of the characters.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I'm just waiting for a submission of hose or there's nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
It feels like it's gonna come to.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Be an amazing day. Amazing may feelings matter?
Speaker 13 (25:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I get better every single day.
Speaker 13 (25:07):
I love him.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Imagine cele line of Lighters with Martha Stewet.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah you got to admire it, don't you really? The
business tenacity of it. Yeah, there Snoop Snoop Dogg, the
torch Bearer. Do you know we spoke to someone who
they're an aspiring young rapper. They just phoned through the
rock for some reason when we were on the rock,
and he's like, you never guess what I just did.
He flew himself to America on an absolute whim. He
(25:36):
wanted to be a rapper, and so he spent He's like,
I'll give myself two weeks over here, every day knocking
on doors of record companies and trying to harass people
and spamming people on social media and stuff. And it
got to the end of the two weeks and he
was literally walking onto the plane at LAX. He was
in the departure lounge and he got a big message
(25:59):
back on it Instagram from Snoop Dogg. What saying, Homie? Now,
I'm ad libbing here. I don't know what Snoop on
it said, but it was the gist of it was, Homie,
meet me at my studio.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
So he left the airport, got in an uber, went
straight to Studogs studio and recorded with him.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Can you imagine how many dm Snoop dog gets.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
It's crazy to filter.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Through and actually respond when he probably gets a million
of those days.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I think he must have got to a certain level
of snoops people right, Yeah, and her harassed them and
so he ended up recording with him in his studio.
And that's all they did, just record music. Nothing else, No, yeah,
and listen to kids music is well recorded, lovely family
friendly kids songs. Yeah. Dog in the end. Then he
hopped on the plane the following.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Day the hits that Jona and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Waiting for his arrival through the gates at Auckland International Airport.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
God had a end me now moment yesterday after work,
just walking to the car park across the road where
we park, and ran into a lovely lady do I
know works for another company, and she was just outside
and she she welcomed me, Hi, how are you? Boom
boom boom, boom boom. Had the hug when you pretend
(27:21):
to kiss the cheek, but you don't kiss the cheek,
you just kind of gently bang cheeks.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Well you kiss the air accidentally.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah, did that? That was all textbook stuff. But she
was also with someone else. Now, I this person was
giving me a familiar smile, you know, and I couldn't
figure out if we'd met before or not.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
It was fifty three en in these situations, I.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Don't know the time, I don't know. And so she's
looking at me and I've come fresh off a hug
and a bang cheek and she's smiling at me, and
I'm like, well, I've hugged someone in front of her.
She's going to need a hug.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
She's does you don't think you know that person? You
don't hug them?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Jo, Well, I went in for a hug. It was
a gamble. It was fifty to fifty years to whether
I did know them. And guess what, you turned out
I didn't because I got there. You know what, the
moment that I realized I didn't, I got the oh
a hug, Oh a hug, And no hugger ever wants
to hear oh a hug because at that moment you
(28:26):
realize I have no idea who this person is. They
have no And now I'm now I'm the first let's
meet each other first time, and I have a hug.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Person like, at least you've gone in too friendly than
being a jerk.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
You know, she's gonna say.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I don't want to leave. I didn't want to leave
A hug.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, hopefully friendly.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Actually the warning signs were there because as soon as
I went for the hug, she kind of left her
arms beside her body and so I ended up rapping,
so she was kind of locked in my embrace without
you'll get.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
An email from someone.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, we're clearly not on hugging terms. But now now
my question is to you, now we have hugged, next
time I see this person.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Now it'll be an ongoing Joe needs to be a
hugg Yeah, you need your hug.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
She was like, no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, so I wonder your quick question to also to
hug or not to hug if you're fifty to fifty
on whether you know someone.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I think the general rulers don't thank you, you know, like,
don't don't body slam someone if you don't think you
know them.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Fantastic, thank you for their life.
Speaker 1 (29:26):

these two song and the remember the dance doesn't mean
(35:26):
I wanted to win, and so that you were doing
the dance every time we've played it this morning, you've
like a robot switched into action. So you will announce
the word for that in the next ten minutes or so. Now,
I told a lie, and we were out for dinner,
my wife and I and the waiter approached the table
(35:48):
and he said, special occasion question mark. Now, I've never
I've never lied about a special occasion, and this is
what we want to open up eight d Have you
lied about a special occasion to get something for free?
You can text four for eight seven as well. So
I'm thinking this, mom, but my opportunity. You know what
treasure trove of freebies and goodies do I get? If
(36:10):
I say yes, it's.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
A special it does sound like there's something coming.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
If you say yes, well, no one asked that question
and goes, oh, that's nice to know, and then doesn't
follow Yeah, so special occasion. I was like, yeah, yeah
it is, and I said it like I said it
like that, I didn't say it with confidence, and he
was looking dead into my eyes and he was like,
(36:35):
you cheeky, lying little rascal. Because then I didn't even
say it's our winning anniversary. It's a follow up, Yeah,
yeah it is. And he's like, okay, guess what. He
has offered a generic congratulations to both of us, and
then he walks off, and I'm sitting there thinking, Okay,
(36:57):
what's what's going to come of this? We had the meal,
we're there in of the night. He delivers a special
occasion cupcake. We've got a free capcake, chocolate capcake with
a candle jabbed inserted into the middle of it.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Did they what was the message?
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Though? Sorry, I do like to see congratulations on a
special occasion because you're two cagy to tell us what
it is.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
It could be anniversary, can be job, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
I hope for his sake he picked the stalest of
all the celebratory cupcakes to give to us because we
didn't it didn't taste you know, do they know you're
lying in that situation?
Speaker 2 (37:35):
I think they knew you were lying because you were
like and then no details. Don't feel bad, though, because
this is something that me and my husband do all
the time, really overseas. So you know when you travel
and sometimes the hotel will ask you is it a
special occasion?
Speaker 4 (37:51):
We always say it's our anniversary, just because.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Sometimes you'll get like a little like chalky plate and
it's like, can be anniversary?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
So what you get? Is it traditionally just free chocolate?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, or like a little treat in your room sometimes
or sometimes if you're lucky, they might upgrade you to
a different room.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
They don't know, and they never ask for like a
wedding certificate.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Yeah, you've just got to go on and be like.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
They must go They must know you're lying.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
You've got to sell it. You've got to know you're
going to do it, and you've got to be like, yeah,
oh my god, it's so many years. Give them more details.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Than they wants. That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Talking about when you've lied about a special occasion. Didn't
feel good about it. I see if we're having a
special occasion, And I got a free cupcake, free cupcake
with a candle in it, and it tasted the cupcake
tasted like diabetes and deceit all in one. Didn't taste lies.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
And also they totally knew you were lying because they
asked what if you a special occasion?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
You just said yes, yeah, no details.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Here's a tip for new players into the special occasion
lie game. Have it in your head that you're going
in there to lie about a special occasion. Because I
was called off guard by the question, then my response
is probably equally as frazzled. So yeah, I like, and
we did ask. You know, does the industry know when
you are lying about a special occasion and someone has
called through to one hundred that HiT's Melissa who actually
(39:12):
works in a hotel, and you can tell you you
can tell when we are lying, Melissa, Yes, oh god,
they can, can you actually?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (39:23):
But then you have to play the game and you
have to go out there and put bloody free chocolates
on pillows.
Speaker 19 (39:30):
No, it's easy to tell, is it?
Speaker 13 (39:33):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Is it the pause?
Speaker 19 (39:37):
You can normally tell by if they're excited or not,
or it's just the tone of the voice. Even if
it wasn't believable, I'd probably go along with it just
to yeah, you feel special.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
I told you it was all about the enthusiasm. Oh
my god, yes.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Actually we need to put on a better performance. Yeah,
thank you so much. Really, appreciate your time, no worries
and hello the heads.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Did you lie about a special occasion?
Speaker 15 (40:03):
Hi, not so much a special occasion, but I always
make my kids lie about their age so they get
in for cheaper. We go into swimming pools or restaurants.
You know, they're like under twelve six dollars. So I'm like, okay, son,
you're eleven. I'm thirteen, and I'm like, shot if up, okay,
(40:24):
I know.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Do you know I did this once with my my
almost three year old. You had to be like one
to get in for free, and I was like, do
not talk, do not say anything.
Speaker 15 (40:33):
Yeah, I've done that with my daughter. She's four, but yeah,
back when she was like two or three and we're
ch a month and I'm like two kids and a
one year old and I'm like, please don't notice my
two year old not wearing that peas and like talking.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
He's like yeah what. Eight year old's like yeah good. Honestly,
we try to do that with my forty year old son.
I was thinking was like Rainbow's End or something, and
we're like, okay, bro, it's like half the price if
you say you're under eleven, I don't look I don't
look at it. And we got to the gate and
the wonderful person behind the counter was like and like
looking at him, and he's like, looking at me.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Some people are terrible kids ages.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
He's I couldn't.
Speaker 15 (41:17):
Cut down a little bit, been down a smaller.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
Dishwasher died. I know this sounds like first world problems.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Two things I know about Megan, purpose is working closely
with you. You're never not sick. Yeah, that's the number one.
And the second one is you haven't had a kitchen
floor for about two times.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Yeah. So the floors fixed, the fridge is fixed.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
But then the dishwasher died.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
And I know this sounds like I sound like a
joke for anyone who doesn't have a dishwasher. But as
soon as that goes out of commission, God, the admin
of actually.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
Doing dishes probably one of the most.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
Mind numbing tasks.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
It is, yeah, but one of the most disrespected appliances
in the household. You really take get for granted, the dishwasher.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
And I'm about to illustrate how because our dishwasher wasn't
like emptying, right, and so we pulled it apart.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
We were like, obviously something stuck in there, pulled it
apart ourselves several.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Times and couldn't find anything. It's making a hell of
a noise. So we're like, we're gonna have to do it.
We're gonna have to call a repair person to come out.
And so he came yesterday.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Did your banter because we've had that conversation whether you like,
whether the repair people like the banter or they'd rather
just shut up and get on with the job. Did
you bance?
Speaker 4 (42:31):
We did bance.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Generally, I don't like bands with the people I don't know,
I get a bit awkward.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
But he was really lovely. We had bants about the
weather and all the hot topics.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah, he had someone he had another customer call him
and I could hear this person, very loud and middle aged.
Middle aged man called him and he was the next job.
He said to him that he lived in a very
affluent part of Auckland.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
He said, just.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Make yourself at home. The house is wide open. We
might not be there before you leave, but just just
leave and leave it open. It's not a problem.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I was like, what can you say, make yourself at home?
What are you expecting the other person to do?
Speaker 4 (43:08):
He left him the Wi Fi passwords.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
Well, he really didn't say make yourself at home?
Speaker 4 (43:11):
Yeah, yeah, can I to the fridge and get some snacks?
Speaker 3 (43:14):
So if they came home, yeah, he's on the on
the couch eating watching Truly, you've made yourself at home?
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (43:23):
Would you be offended by that if you literally said
make yourself at home?
Speaker 4 (43:26):
I don't think this guy, what have you said?
Speaker 2 (43:27):
A very chill and like lived in an expensive part
of Auckland and just had.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
I was like, wait, can you tell me.
Speaker 13 (43:34):
Here's the dress?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
But the worst part was so he finally fixed the dishwasher.
It took him five minutes at best. There was a
piece of plastic stuck in there. I don't know where
the plastic came from. And he was such a nice guy, but.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
He said to me, ma'am, you just have to make
sure you wrench your dishes properly.
Speaker 3 (43:52):
I was like, yeah, that no humbles your two when
you've gone to the effort of getting a repair person
and then five minutes found it. Yeah, we had one hundred.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
And fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Oh, we had have blocked toilets when we're at a
place where staying away and it was at a period
where someone in the household was flushing you didn't know
you couldn't the the wipes, you know, the nephew whites. Yeah,
it was at a period when no one knew. That
was terrible for the plumbing system. The environment guy came over,
was like, have you been flushing wipes down here? We're like, nape, No, definitely,
(44:26):
not one hundred percent. Now, don't you even accuse us
of flushy whites down there. Five minutes lady comes out
with this giant clump of wipes at this hand. He's like,
that'll be turning fifty dollars six for the caller.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
There's nothing more confronting than them going through your guns. Yeah,
oh so sorry.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
Shout out to all their people out there doing God's work.
