It was a big day. It was Megan's birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
We're still going on about it.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Well, it's the hangover over the party.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Now we need to reflect because yesterday we surprised you
with a few lovely messages from Andrew, your husband, from
your kids as well. I just want to take a
moment too, because I was when I did my have
listened to this happy message from me, just the start
of the message from me, Hey Megan, a happy birthday.
We love you, not love you like you and Andrew
(00:32):
Lee shouting sprightly. I was in the middle of I
was in the Atlanta airport. I was dealing with a
delta line I was got and the tail it missed.
We got we need this now. I'm not really in
the mood for a happy birthdays and I I had
to go away to the airport and everyone was look
at me and go, hey, Megan, how you doing? The family?
I look at me like, why is he suddenly all
(00:53):
happy at what's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
He's just been abusing the poor person behind the counter
that's written.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
About this right now.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
But you hit it well, you had just the life
at that time. I was like, wow, I was dealing
with a lot of stuff. But anyway, we.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Had a lovely work lovely work lunch. Nothing quite like
an awkward work lunch to get the bench going, was it?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
But there was lovely. There was a fun day.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's a fun day has really set.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The standard though for fortieths now around the office.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Oh yeah, you know, I had a cake. They took
a cake down.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
There was like bottles of bubbles on the table to
you know, so we didn't get through all the bubbles
because most people had to come back to work.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So this was the place told.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Me I could like stuff a napkin and one of
the bottles and take it home with me, which I
think is probably frowned upon it.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
What looked like you were carrying a bloody moleotolet a
napkin down the thing?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
How was the rest of the day, because you know,
we woke your husband Andrew up yesterday morning because he
didn't wake up because you leave early, and we're like,
what did he have planned? What happened when you got home?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
So I got home and I had like a pile
of like little prisons and some balloons. There was no
more cake because I've already had three cakes, which is enough. Yeah,
yesterday was my third cake. I was like, okay, I
think we probably wrap.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Up the cakes now the cakes.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Well yeah, so yeah, I got presents. I got sung
h birthday again from my three year old.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Long, exhausting night of passion. Was it?
Speaker 6 (02:18):
We said him bear and eight burgers, which I know
you guys love.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You just love eating in Beard Welcome to the forties netflex.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I was like, this is great, this is a dream.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
This is better than passion, which is anyway, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
We've spoken to the great scientistnano girl, doctor Michelle Dickinson.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
She has warned you about eating a bead in the
bug birthday. The bugs don't know it's your birthday.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, you had constant party in Euros.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know that John and Ben podcast Speaking of unusual
things that happened yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It was probably the most one of the most entertaining
parts of my birthday. Yesterday we went to.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Lunch with everyone at the Hurts and then JOHNO had
to leave, so he comes up behind me. I'm sitting
jump here.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Sorry, I feel like you need to run this like
a court case proceedings mean, have her say and then
you can let me have all.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So here comes up to say goodbye. But I'm sitting
down in a seat.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And you just everything you tell me anything, I'm factual
from your opinion.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
But right now okay, taps me on the shoulder. But
he's kind of right behind me. So I turned one way.
I couldn't see him.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I turned the other as he's trying to give me
a hug. I'm trying to turn around.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We hug here, just asking still no objections.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Still, so yeah, I'm trying to give him a consensual hug.
So I'm turning obdiction.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I didn't ask for consent.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Helping at the moment.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I just went and I assume.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
And so I'm sitting now and he's standing up as
I'm trying to turn around. He leans down to give
me a hug, but in the awkwardness of the situation,
he ends up giving me a kiss on the head.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
This is where.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
This is where kiss you? How he kissed you on
the forehead?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, okay, Oh no, I've come from behind.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah okay, And.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Hey, Megan, sorry, got to shoot Okay, she's already engaged,
and so I've interrupted the conversations again. So she's trying
to half continue on the conversation, half deal to me
behind you okay, But then she's turned around. I've gone
for a hug. She's turned back around the conversation. I've
found my head nestled into the back of her head,
so the intention my head was accidentally thistled. Then everyone
(04:49):
arounds go oh.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And I see did you just kiss me on the head?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And you know what, the double kick in the gats is, okay,
double kits. All of a sudden, I hear happy birth
that the tables start seeing a happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I turned around.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's a freaking way to deal with the cake with
the candle.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Just after I've asked him if he just kissed.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Me on the head.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Now I am awkwardly standing over me with a cake.
And so then they were starts singing and filming obviously
the pH So I'm like weary of being back of shots,
so I started back out of the shots and have
to awkwardly stand by and seeing happy birthday. Now, I
know you don't like the duration of a happy birthday,
so it takes a long time.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Bro, you would have never had a longer version of
happy birthday than that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
John and Ben podcast on Now.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Ben and Megan had weird wake up today driving out
of the house and across my driveway was a car parked.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
And you're quite defensive, don't you about cars parking outside
your house for some reason and it's not your property.
My first is what was this person doing? And then
you know how long was the council's road? It's not mine?
And so then I noticed it was no one in
the car and the windows were down, and so it
was round the cab. No I couldn't get past. It
(06:08):
was likely across the drive.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
The windows are down.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Cars running, no one's in.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
It's I get out, okay, And I'm looking around and
then that I noticed the last number on the license
plates being sword off. Really, so okay, I know what's
done of stolen cars before I know what's happened here,
and so I'm like, what do I do? I need
to get to work. Uh, and if I by the
time I called the police, they have to get a
toe track and we're talking half an hour at least,
(06:37):
So hop in the car hop on the stolen car.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know, what is it?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
What else was I supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Uber's probably what the police.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
My fault the cars outside my house because someone stole
the car so inconvenience me.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, that is rude of the thieves to leave it
right over a driveway. Did she speak a.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Bite a petrol? What would you leave the thing running?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That? Mind about that?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Do they? So I had to. But then I had
the other stolen vehicle outside my house issue, remember that one?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's right?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, another one.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Can't they leave it? Just leave cars running outside of
my house? But inside this one I was looking around
there was a lovely Nike jumper and so by the
time I picked it out, you know how you sort
of measure it against yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You're holding against yourself.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
But then my son went, what are you doing, you idiot?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Your fingerprints are going to be all over the car.
This is usual. Put it back in.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
So I called the police anywhere on the way, said
there's a car there, and I may have jumped inside
it and moved it.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
I know it looks dodgy. It has parked outside my house.
It does have my fingerprints.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
All over it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Megan, you have been begging on all morning about how
yesterday you you think you might have done something that
most adults don't engage in, and it's a sad thing
that we don't engage in.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
It is it's hard, I think, to make an adult friend.
But also I'm just really awkward when I meet new people.
I find it hard to have a small talk and banter.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So I I was just surprising because you're you're pretty.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You know, you don't know you.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Guys, right, Okay, everyone's like, you talk to so many
people every morning, but I don't see the people.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I just I'm sitting in front of you.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Two.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
So I went to an invent and I sat beside
someone you probably know her.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't know if you know who personally.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
But I sat there and we chatted literally NonStop for
like two hours, and she was so nice. And I
went home and I said to my husband, I was like,

He's like, oh my god, just send her a text
and say I had a good.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Time honestly knowing your political belief so I didn't think
you and here the dude.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Headed off in such.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
A way, wasn't he that?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
But no, so I sent a message, but it's god.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
About because it's one of those things you do see
people you're like, oh, we should catch up, But then
who initiates the catch up is always where a lot
of things fall over for me.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
What was the message? Do you want to come over
for a sleepover?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Sorry?
Speaker 6 (09:24):

the end she was like, I had a really nice
time with you.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
She is probably well known to That's why I don't
want to say no.
Speaker 3 (09:57):

up Jennifer. She's accusing me of we've got, you know,
stealing a pillow. So you've stolen my pillow. And I'm
(15:43):

They're like, you know what I'm gonna take. I'm just
take one of those.
Speaker 4 (16:23):

And so.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
You're a little bit self conscious about wrap things up
and try not to keep talking about it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And can we expect the finish of the monday choose?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
You know, we can wrap things up just but I
got nothing I talk about.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's all that's happened, That's all that's consumed me for
the last two and a half. I've got more stuff
I want to share. You know because you do overseas
and people listening right now, I have gone overseas. You
do experience things that you don't experience here in New Zealand. Right,
That's one of the cool things about you know, being
able to.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Do then if you haven't, you'll be hearing about them
till Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You know, there's and there's different things. Yeah, and going
through New York it was a real weird moment when
the kids saw it, like a lot of police everywhere,
which you understand the NYPD, but then also down by
the subways, which I took the wrong subway multiple times
with the family. We can take the subway you get
on the right track. You were like, yes, this is that,
but you go the wrong way. But then you go
(19:23):
out there and they've got obviously like armed forces looking
after the subway areas as well, you know, walking past
the machine guns and stuff, and you can see the
kids like the kids like this is the first time
I've sent a gun and for again, I come from
New Zealand. You're like, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It's confronting.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, it's quite a confronting moment. I mean, obviously they're
there to keep people safe.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
America soon.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But one thing I did notice, and you'll notice that.
You know, if you travel anywhere or even throughout New
Zealand to the best way a genius way to get money,
start a fountain. Like build a fountain, because somewhere along
the line people just chuck coins into a fountain and
make it wash like who was.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Yeah, some genius when you know it will bring you
seven years good luck?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Check all your money and there's my fountain here.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Every time we go past the founder, the kid's got
more coins. You'd be like, oh, give you coins and
check it in, But I mean, what is it are
you gonna get west?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Granted, I feel like all the good lucks go into
the fountain.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So I think, as a show or right now listening,
just start to put a fountain out somewhere. People will
literally throw money in there and you make money.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Where can we put a john on a beIN fountain?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, maybe we can check one up and they.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Roll them out at all cities and town memorial fountains.
Just put a fountain there.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Every month we go sweep through and get the old coins.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Were got a couple of coins, just kind of like
the busking theory. You gotta have a couple in there.
Make it worse. Throw some money in the fountain. We'll
be rich before the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Amazing what happens if you?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Has anyone been so bold like to take them? Because
I feel bloo, they're there for the taking. I know,
who are they sure belong to it?
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, I don't believe that it's gonna grant my wish,
but I do believe.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
In bad karma. If I took the money out, you know,
I'm gonna throw the coins.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's what the genius who started the coins in the
found Banking wants you to think.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Has anyone actually had the gaul to go and take
the coins from.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Four seven on the text? Actually, yeah, these.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
All go into the city mission.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You're literally throwing your money to someone because you.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Think that the Trivia fountain in Rome that would have
to be cleared out.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Throw them over the back of the heads there, it's
all they're all standing there.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Just let's clear it out.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, I mean it's not a lot of a lot
of people are throwing away a lot of money at
the time, but you.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Collectively, yeah, collectively hundreds in it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yes there we Has anyone.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Actually taken money out of them?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's what we wanted to know. That John and Ben podcast,
very random thing that was part of yes, skin visiting
family overseas, but something that they ordered the family and
friends they're over. They're like, hey, we need to release
the lady bugs into the garden. So I didn't know
what this was, and they had ordered. You can order
(21:58):
these through like Amazon and the places you know online
and arrive in a package that they bought a few
of these things. Here's some audio explaining to exactly what
these are. Live ladybugs. Have a listen, fifteen one hundred
ladybugs that I had sent to me in the mail
from Amazon. Because I have a lot of new plants
in my yard.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
I have had it in the refrigerator since it arrived
to me. And now we are going to cut open
the side and put these ladybugs on all of my trees.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Fifteen hundred, Yes, what of your bags are those? So
there were thousands of these things that they're we sleep.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
They were like kind of frozen, frozen all kind of
woke up and fisting.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I'll be doing his counting all fifteen hundred.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Don't you even there's one thousand, four hundred and ninety
nine of them sending them back money bag guarantee any.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Worms were good for the garden. I didn't know ladybugs
did anything other than look cute.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We had to go out and try and release it.
I've never been part of a ladybug releasing program. But
don't you just kind of well, place gently and you
can open the bag and then all you can kint.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yeah, so various tactics. I don't feel like they'd be
very movable, that says sort of gradually.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It feels like sort of Joe Biden, sort of after
a debate, just so gradually like well where am I?
What am I doing? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Feels like sort of teetering on trafficking lady but ladyboats,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
She's sort of fifteen hundred lady bags.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I ordered one human, one human, and the authorities are
on my ass.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, fifteen hundred ladybugs, so you can do that. I
don't think you could send them from country to country,
but you can do that within the country.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Random so obviously rejuvenates the garden.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Yeah, it needs all the bugs, eats, the apheds, the
merely bugs, all the little like fungy things that gets
rid of the bugs.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I mean, how do they know that this is the
place they need to They could fly off to other
other bugs, and.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
There's lots of things to eat. I guess they're going
to stay.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Plus, you know, if you're if you're a ladybug and
you're looking around, you're like, well, Jess, seems like it's
fourteen one nine.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Yeah, mate, other visions of me.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I might hang here, These might be my people. What
have you brought off the internet? Wildest thing you purchased?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Nothing like that?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I mean, that's wild, nothing alive.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah, remember all that crazy shirt off instagram? Pollster shirt
highly flammable, so it was a cowboys shirt.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It's like a rodeo thing.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Do you still have that?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
I was like, I put the shirt on, and I
was like, if I get within three meters of a
heated this thing is going to melt to my skin.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
So we're like, well, better melting to a listener's skin.
And we gave it away.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah. So that's all we want to know this morning.
The wildest thing that you bought, the most unusual thing
you bought on the internet, because you just don't know
what's out there, like this ladybug thingers like live animals
and you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Can buy worms right and get them sent to you
as well.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The other lady were worth she bought quails quail eggs.
Her kid actually got her iPad and was obsessed with quails.
The burden thought I was ordering a toy and they
turned up. The quail eggs.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Arrived and did they eat them?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
No, they hatched them. And then they had so many
of them, quite a few, and that every time someone
had come over, they're like, would you like to take
a quail home with you?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And they'll be like, thank yous.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That Jonaan podcast, we're talking about the most unusual purchase
that you've ever made from the internet. As I was
part of releasing lady bugs into a garden. They were
bought online froze. They were kind of a sleepy have
been the sort of frozen. You keep them in the
fridge and then they woke up when you just thought
them out. They're all still alive.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't it's so weird.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
I felt you freeze us in a freezer, you know,
like we're not just going to defroy.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
But they all sort of woke up and then away
they went.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Like their theory about Walt Disney maybe he's going to
come out.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Oh, you release him into your garden.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
We have some stuff to tell Walt Disney. We've got
some updating to do with young. Stuff has happened, well,
since stuff has happened.

Speaker 8 (26:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Now you sound like a guy who's seen some stuff
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
What have you bought?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Well, what happened? Was I when I was I used
to cook back in the old days in England and
was a thing there. So moving to the zealing, I
thought maybe I could, you know, order some foi gras
and show my family what it tastes like. And I
went online Frugo or something with a site, and I
(27:12):
ordered it but I didn't any research. I thought it
would actually be sent over that or something on a
on a on a plane, and three weeks past I'm like, hey, guys,
where's my order? And eventually they sent me a poster instead,
because you can't chip.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Here's a picture of what you ordered.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Yeah, so I framed it. It was it was the
most expensive two hundred dollars post purchase, so I framed
it and it's in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It feels like they really should have given you money,
but anyway, you know.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
But no, to be fair to the to the well,
I don't know if it was a scam operation or not.
They've gone actually know we're going down to the boy
printing place, skirts skirt a picture of what he ordered,
able to take it a couple of days, rolled it
up until one of those nice little cardboard containers.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
They've gone to some effort. What you need to appreciate.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
They did, Yeah, they did, said it in a nice
round to make sure that it's.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Not when you get a text going it's the nz
TA your license plates about to be deleted from the database.
That's lazy stuff going on. The printing posters. Appreciate it, Zack.
There's a great text come through on four for a seven.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, that someone basically made some purchases from a well
known business late at night and they're obviously updating their site,
and all the prices came out in sentse and seat
of dollars. Oh and they like, oh, they went, should
we make some purchases? And they okay, we would, and
they did went through and the company honored those purchases,
which pretty cool. So you'd be thinking afterwards.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Just like where's the entire websites?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
By everything? The major warehouse is pretty incredible.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Skill if you wanted tonight, So I'll be going home
and finding me a couple.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Of lady some Tweezers.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
No romance that comes with a form of Tweezers. You
add Tweezers into the b.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
The Tweezers, the Hits, that Jonathan Ben podcast. Who's having
the best weekends?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
They not me on the buttons today the best weekend.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
We do this every week the North and South Island
go head to head pitch each other. Now usually it's
the wonderful Connor from christ Church representing the South, and
Haley from the Hits in Wellington, who is sick today.
And you know what she's sick of. She's sick of
finding guinea pig competitions and mail strip reviews to promote,
to try and be Connor. So she's taking the week
off and Meghan, you're going to be representing the North.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
And Connor, who is the ground announcer at the Warriors,
is in the studio this morning in enemy territory there, Connor.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I feel weird.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Just energy.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
It's all good. It's North Island energy. Like you can
smell the lattes and the arrogance.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
And the over expensive coffee is out. You're seventy for
a long black this morning what's going on there?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Come appear with your small town for a long black
How much do you pay for a house?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
So you're how you're choosing to spend your party a
weekend here in the north. But anyway, yeah, well you.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Got me there, come up here for the fun.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, it's glorious.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So why don't you go first? Connor? What's happening in
the South Island this weekend?
Speaker 9 (30:20):
Well? I did want to start with sort of a
North Island South Island Derby actually, which is in christ Church.
The Cannoby Rams, who were the first seed in the
Sales NBA basketball competition. All season lone, I've been watching
an unusual amount of domestic basketball.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
On television for some reason.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
It's been basically won sixteen games straight at one point.
The final is on Sunday between the Cannobary Rams and
the Auckland Tortata. It's a rematch of last year's Grand Final.
The Tortata have been in the Grand Final three years
in a row, including this year, and they haven't won
a single championship. So it's a big game in christ
Church on Sunday two thirty.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
So it's hard to have Corey Webster in the team.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Yeah, they have all the big name stars NATAI I
think as well Nati. But the Rams lucky old Brook
this since he won the MVP, the Youth Player of
the Year, the Beast Forward or something like that, he
won like all the awards. So Rams are the best
and they're gonna win.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
There you go. There's some references that the audience.

Like a Tracy when I'm representing the North because I'm
from the South.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Yeah, I mean you need to decide out of these
middling of beads and handling.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
The wine and I'm going to give it to you
and me. Again, this is because Connor is here. Connor
is here. I can't get past the fate that Connor
has that's gone from the south to the north for
part of the weekends.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
So I'm again it Master, first time Bean's ever made
a decision so well
With the John and Ben podcast. Cheers to Delmark making
the world a bitter tea.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It was a big day. It was Megan's birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
We're still going on about it.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Well, it's the hangover over the party.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Now we need to reflect because yesterday we surprised you
with a few lovely messages from Andrew, your husband, from
your kids as well. I just want to take a
moment too, because I was when I did my have
listened to this happy message from me, just the start
of the message from me, Hey Megan, a happy birthday.
We love you, not love you like you and Andrew
(00:32):
Lee shouting sprightly. I was in the middle of I
was in the Atlanta airport. I was dealing with a
delta line I was got and the tail it missed.
We got we need this now. I'm not really in
the mood for a happy birthdays and I I had
to go away to the airport and everyone was look
at me and go, hey, Megan, how you doing? The family?
I look at me like, why is he suddenly all
(00:53):
happy at what's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
He's just been abusing the poor person behind the counter
that's written.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
About this right now.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
But you hit it well, you had just the life
at that time. I was like, wow, I was dealing
with a lot of stuff. But anyway, we.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Had a lovely work lovely work lunch. Nothing quite like
an awkward work lunch to get the bench going, was it?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
But there was lovely. There was a fun day.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's a fun day has really set.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The standard though for fortieths now around the office.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Oh yeah, you know, I had a cake. They took
a cake down.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
There was like bottles of bubbles on the table to
you know, so we didn't get through all the bubbles
because most people had to come back to work.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So this was the place told.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Me I could like stuff a napkin and one of
the bottles and take it home with me, which I
think is probably frowned upon it.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
What looked like you were carrying a bloody moleotolet a
napkin down the thing?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
How was the rest of the day, because you know,
we woke your husband Andrew up yesterday morning because he
didn't wake up because you leave early, and we're like,
what did he have planned? What happened when you got home?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
So I got home and I had like a pile
of like little prisons and some balloons. There was no
more cake because I've already had three cakes, which is enough. Yeah,
yesterday was my third cake. I was like, okay, I
think we probably wrap.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Up the cakes now the cakes.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Well yeah, so yeah, I got presents. I got sung
h birthday again from my three year old.
Speaker 4 (02:15):

Speaker 6 (02:18):
We said him bear and eight burgers, which I know
you guys love.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You just love eating in Beard Welcome to the forties netflex.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I was like, this is great, this is a dream.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
This is better than passion, which is anyway, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
We've spoken to the great scientistnano girl, doctor Michelle Dickinson.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
She has warned you about eating a bead in the
bug birthday. The bugs don't know it's your birthday.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah, you had constant party in Euros.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
You know that John and Ben podcast Speaking of unusual
things that happened yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It was probably the most one of the most entertaining
parts of my birthday. Yesterday we went to.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Lunch with everyone at the Hurts and then JOHNO had
to leave, so he comes up behind me. I'm sitting
jump here.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Sorry, I feel like you need to run this like
a court case proceedings mean, have her say and then
you can let me have all.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So here comes up to say goodbye. But I'm sitting
down in a seat.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And you just everything you tell me anything, I'm factual
from your opinion.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
But right now okay, taps me on the shoulder. But
he's kind of right behind me. So I turned one way.
I couldn't see him.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I turned the other as he's trying to give me
a hug. I'm trying to turn around.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
We hug here, just asking still no objections.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Still, so yeah, I'm trying to give him a consensual hug.
So I'm turning obdiction.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I didn't ask for consent.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Helping at the moment.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I just went and I assume.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
And so I'm sitting now and he's standing up as
I'm trying to turn around. He leans down to give
me a hug, but in the awkwardness of the situation,
he ends up giving me a kiss on the head.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
This is where.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
This is where kiss you? How he kissed you on
the forehead?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah, okay, Oh no, I've come from behind.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah okay, And.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Hey, Megan, sorry, got to shoot Okay, she's already engaged,
and so I've interrupted the conversations again. So she's trying
to half continue on the conversation, half deal to me
behind you okay, But then she's turned around. I've gone
for a hug. She's turned back around the conversation. I've
found my head nestled into the back of her head,
so the intention my head was accidentally thistled. Then everyone
(04:49):
arounds go oh.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And I see did you just kiss me on the head?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And you know what, the double kick in the gats is, okay,
double kits. All of a sudden, I hear happy birth
that the tables start seeing a happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I turned around.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's a freaking way to deal with the cake with
the candle.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Just after I've asked him if he just kissed.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Me on the head.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Now I am awkwardly standing over me with a cake.
And so then they were starts singing and filming obviously
the pH So I'm like weary of being back of shots,
so I started back out of the shots and have
to awkwardly stand by and seeing happy birthday. Now, I
know you don't like the duration of a happy birthday,
so it takes a long time.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Bro, you would have never had a longer version of
happy birthday than that.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
John and Ben podcast on Now.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Ben and Megan had weird wake up today driving out
of the house and across my driveway was a car parked.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
And you're quite defensive, don't you about cars parking outside
your house for some reason and it's not your property.
My first is what was this person doing? And then
you know how long was the council's road? It's not mine?
And so then I noticed it was no one in
the car and the windows were down, and so it
was round the cab. No I couldn't get past. It
(06:08):
was likely across the drive.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
The windows are down.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Cars running, no one's in.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
It's I get out, okay, And I'm looking around and
then that I noticed the last number on the license
plates being sword off. Really, so okay, I know what's
done of stolen cars before I know what's happened here,
and so I'm like, what do I do? I need
to get to work. Uh, and if I by the
time I called the police, they have to get a
toe track and we're talking half an hour at least,
(06:37):
So hop in the car hop on the stolen car.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know, what is it?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
What else was I supposed to do?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Uber's probably what the police.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
My fault the cars outside my house because someone stole
the car so inconvenience me.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, that is rude of the thieves to leave it
right over a driveway. Did she speak a.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Bite a petrol? What would you leave the thing running?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That? Mind about that?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Do they? So I had to. But then I had
the other stolen vehicle outside my house issue, remember that one?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's right?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, another one.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Can't they leave it? Just leave cars running outside of
my house? But inside this one I was looking around
there was a lovely Nike jumper and so by the
time I picked it out, you know how you sort
of measure it against yourself.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You're holding against yourself.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
But then my son went, what are you doing, you idiot?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Your fingerprints are going to be all over the car.
This is usual. Put it back in.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
So I called the police anywhere on the way, said
there's a car there, and I may have jumped inside
it and moved it.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
I know it looks dodgy. It has parked outside my house.
It does have my fingerprints.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
All over it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Megan, you have been begging on all morning about how
yesterday you you think you might have done something that
most adults don't engage in, and it's a sad thing
that we don't engage in.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
It is it's hard, I think, to make an adult friend.
But also I'm just really awkward when I meet new people.
I find it hard to have a small talk and banter.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So I I was just surprising because you're you're pretty.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You know, you don't know you.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Guys, right, Okay, everyone's like, you talk to so many
people every morning, but I don't see the people.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I just I'm sitting in front of you.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Two.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
So I went to an invent and I sat beside
someone you probably know her.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't know if you know who personally.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
But I sat there and we chatted literally NonStop for
like two hours, and she was so nice. And I
went home and I said to my husband, I was like,

I message her? Like is that coming on too strong?
He's like, oh my god, just send her a text
and say I had a good.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Time honestly knowing your political belief so I didn't think
you and here the dude.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Headed off in such.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
A way, wasn't he that?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
But no, so I sent a message, but it's god.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
About because it's one of those things you do see
people you're like, oh, we should catch up, But then
who initiates the catch up is always where a lot
of things fall over for me.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
What was the message? Do you want to come over
for a sleepover?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Sorry?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
She was having car issues, so I just missaged and see, like,
I had a nice time chating with you.

Yeah, yeah, coming?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I really like you? But then okay, weird.
Speaker 6 (09:39):

the end she was like, I had a really nice
time with you.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And I was like, I think I've made a friend. Guys,
do we know?
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Do we know?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I want to know who? Do we know? This person?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
She is probably well known to That's why I don't
want to say no.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I don't want because she's well known to everyone.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But Claire, would you say, Johnny to the Microsoft, can
you turn the mics off? And you say it to us, So, okay, going, dude,

The Joys of a being a couple and sleeping next
to another human being, conversations that sort of take place
at like two thirty six am, in conversations you don't remember,
barely remember the next morning. So last night's boom woken
up Jennifer. She's accusing me of we've got, you know,
stealing a pillow. So you've stolen my pillow. And I'm
(15:43):
looking around and I'm like, I've got the same pillow
that I started on the on the start line, right,
I've still got that under my head. Yeah, pillows, pillows,
gone missing. I'm like, well, we do have two per person, okay,
two pillows per person of an option.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yep, one of one of hers is gone missing.

I've still got my pillow and i still got my spirit.
You're you're sitting with one.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
I don't know. Yeah, And she's well, who took it?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
I'm thinking maybe, so here's here's probably an option. Maybe
someone broke into the house. You're looking around, you've seen everything.
They're like, you know what I'm gonna take. I'm just
take one of those.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Nothing else. Something else is one of those two pillows.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
How comprehensive a lockage she done at that stage?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Well as comprehensive as you do. Is you sort of
feel around in the darkness. It's at two thirty in
the morning, and you but you know you're pillow, don't you?
If you if you're If I blindfolded you and lined
up fifty six pillows and you lay your head on
all of them, you'd pick your pillow out.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I probably wouldn't, to be honest, I didn't know. I do.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
I will use one multiple pie in trouble, I get.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
In trouble for Yeah, I don't care. I don't care.

wife likes out of our four. Never that, No, I
will all the time. That's what I like. I'm like,

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Have you got your pillow and I absolutely would be
able to pick it out?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, she would, she knows this. I don't know the
difference between that one and the other one.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
I don't know, So yeah, put a slab of concrete
under me, like a cinder block.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Off, sleep on there. I'm the exception to your role.
But obviously you guys are you know.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Oh yeah, one hundred percent your pillows molder's contours to
your head.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Even you go to a really nice hotel and I'm
still tempted to take my pillow.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
It's mine, you know, it's got all your special little
yellow stains.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Screet it onto.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It, dribble was my fake tana?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
What is that stuff?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Don't don't think about it too anyway. So I'm denying.
I'm like, I haven't stolen your pillow? Well, would I
steal a pillow. So we've both gone back to sleep.
Wake up this morning, guess what pillows on the floor
down so on my side.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Of the side of the bed.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
So then I'm like, oh, okay, so tippy toe around
holding the pill.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Going place down to it. So when she wakes up
the morning, she'd be like, oh, it was here the
whole time.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I must infled off the bid. Yeah, tell her?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Can we can't send mine back to an hour ago
when he said there was a stolen car in his
driveway as well, he had nothing to do with, Well,
what else have you done in the night?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
The heads that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Keep banging on about all week finally made it back.
It was a bit of a roller coaster to get
back from visiting some family in the U. S A.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
And so.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
You're a little bit self conscious about wrap things up
and try not to keep talking about it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And can we expect the finish of the monday choose?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
You know, we can wrap things up just but I
got nothing I talk about.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That's all that's happened, That's all that's consumed me for
the last two and a half. I've got more stuff
I want to share. You know because you do overseas
and people listening right now, I have gone overseas. You
do experience things that you don't experience here in New Zealand. Right,
That's one of the cool things about you know, being
able to.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Do then if you haven't, you'll be hearing about them
till Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You know, there's and there's different things. Yeah, and going
through New York it was a real weird moment when
the kids saw it, like a lot of police everywhere,
which you understand the NYPD, but then also down by
the subways, which I took the wrong subway multiple times
with the family. We can take the subway you get
on the right track. You were like, yes, this is that,
but you go the wrong way. But then you go
(19:23):
out there and they've got obviously like armed forces looking
after the subway areas as well, you know, walking past
the machine guns and stuff, and you can see the
kids like the kids like this is the first time
I've sent a gun and for again, I come from
New Zealand. You're like, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It's confronting.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, it's quite a confronting moment. I mean, obviously they're
there to keep people safe.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
America soon.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
But one thing I did notice, and you'll notice that.
You know, if you travel anywhere or even throughout New
Zealand to the best way a genius way to get money,
start a fountain. Like build a fountain, because somewhere along
the line people just chuck coins into a fountain and
make it wash like who was.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Yeah, some genius when you know it will bring you
seven years good luck?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Check all your money and there's my fountain here.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Every time we go past the founder, the kid's got
more coins. You'd be like, oh, give you coins and
check it in, But I mean, what is it are
you gonna get west?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Granted, I feel like all the good lucks go into
the fountain.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So I think, as a show or right now listening,
just start to put a fountain out somewhere. People will
literally throw money in there and you make money.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Where can we put a john on a beIN fountain?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, maybe we can check one up and they.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Roll them out at all cities and town memorial fountains.
Just put a fountain there.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Every month we go sweep through and get the old coins.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Were got a couple of coins, just kind of like
the busking theory. You gotta have a couple in there.
Make it worse. Throw some money in the fountain. We'll
be rich before the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Amazing what happens if you?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Has anyone been so bold like to take them? Because
I feel bloo, they're there for the taking. I know,
who are they sure belong to it?
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, I don't believe that it's gonna grant my wish,
but I do believe.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
In bad karma. If I took the money out, you know,
I'm gonna throw the coins.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's what the genius who started the coins in the
found Banking wants you to think.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Has anyone actually had the gaul to go and take
the coins from.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Four seven on the text? Actually, yeah, these.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
All go into the city mission.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You're literally throwing your money to someone because you.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Think that the Trivia fountain in Rome that would have
to be cleared out.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Throw them over the back of the heads there, it's
all they're all standing there.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Just let's clear it out.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, I mean it's not a lot of a lot
of people are throwing away a lot of money at
the time, but you.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Collectively, yeah, collectively hundreds in it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yes there we Has anyone.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Actually taken money out of them?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's what we wanted to know. That John and Ben podcast,
very random thing that was part of yes, skin visiting
family overseas, but something that they ordered the family and
friends they're over. They're like, hey, we need to release
the lady bugs into the garden. So I didn't know
what this was, and they had ordered. You can order
(21:58):
these through like Amazon and the places you know online
and arrive in a package that they bought a few
of these things. Here's some audio explaining to exactly what
these are. Live ladybugs. Have a listen, fifteen one hundred
ladybugs that I had sent to me in the mail
from Amazon. Because I have a lot of new plants
in my yard.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
I have had it in the refrigerator since it arrived
to me. And now we are going to cut open
the side and put these ladybugs on all of my trees.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Fifteen hundred, Yes, what of your bags are those? So
there were thousands of these things that they're we sleep.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
They were like kind of frozen, frozen all kind of
woke up and fisting.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I'll be doing his counting all fifteen hundred.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
Don't you even there's one thousand, four hundred and ninety
nine of them sending them back money bag guarantee any.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Worms were good for the garden. I didn't know ladybugs
did anything other than look cute.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We had to go out and try and release it.
I've never been part of a ladybug releasing program. But
don't you just kind of well, place gently and you
can open the bag and then all you can kint.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yeah, so various tactics. I don't feel like they'd be
very movable, that says sort of gradually.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It feels like sort of Joe Biden, sort of after
a debate, just so gradually like well where am I?
What am I doing? What's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Feels like sort of teetering on trafficking lady but ladyboats,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
She's sort of fifteen hundred lady bags.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
I ordered one human, one human, and the authorities are
on my ass.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, fifteen hundred ladybugs, so you can do that. I
don't think you could send them from country to country,
but you can do that within the country.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Random so obviously rejuvenates the garden.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Yeah, it needs all the bugs, eats, the apheds, the
merely bugs, all the little like fungy things that gets
rid of the bugs.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I mean, how do they know that this is the
place they need to They could fly off to other
other bugs, and.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
There's lots of things to eat. I guess they're going
to stay.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Plus, you know, if you're if you're a ladybug and
you're looking around, you're like, well, Jess, seems like it's
fourteen one nine.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Yeah, mate, other visions of me.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I might hang here, These might be my people. What
have you brought off the internet? Wildest thing you purchased?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Nothing like that?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I mean, that's wild, nothing alive.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yeah, remember all that crazy shirt off instagram? Pollster shirt
highly flammable, so it was a cowboys shirt.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It's like a rodeo thing.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Do you still have that?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
I was like, I put the shirt on, and I
was like, if I get within three meters of a
heated this thing is going to melt to my skin.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
So we're like, well, better melting to a listener's skin.
And we gave it away.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah. So that's all we want to know this morning.
The wildest thing that you bought, the most unusual thing
you bought on the internet, because you just don't know
what's out there, like this ladybug thingers like live animals
and you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Can buy worms right and get them sent to you
as well.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The other lady were worth she bought quails quail eggs.
Her kid actually got her iPad and was obsessed with quails.
The burden thought I was ordering a toy and they
turned up. The quail eggs.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Arrived and did they eat them?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
No, they hatched them. And then they had so many
of them, quite a few, and that every time someone
had come over, they're like, would you like to take
a quail home with you?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And they'll be like, thank yous.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That Jonaan podcast, we're talking about the most unusual purchase
that you've ever made from the internet. As I was
part of releasing lady bugs into a garden. They were
bought online froze. They were kind of a sleepy have
been the sort of frozen. You keep them in the
fridge and then they woke up when you just thought
them out. They're all still alive.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't it's so weird.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
I felt you freeze us in a freezer, you know,
like we're not just going to defroy.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
But they all sort of woke up and then away
they went.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Like their theory about Walt Disney maybe he's going to
come out.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Oh, you release him into your garden.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
We have some stuff to tell Walt Disney. We've got
some updating to do with young. Stuff has happened, well,
since stuff has happened.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
It's not a heavy place now the world, my friend

lady bugs.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
One do you breed them? And then very small?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Yeah, they ah, very Your hold one with a little
pair of twee and you hold the other little pit
just kind of move them for bang them together and
hope for the beefs.
Speaker 4 (26:10):

We're doing really well. It is lovely to have you
on ZAK.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Now you sound like a guy who's seen some stuff
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
What have you bought?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Well, what happened? Was I when I was I used
to cook back in the old days in England and
was a thing there. So moving to the zealing, I
thought maybe I could, you know, order some foi gras
and show my family what it tastes like. And I
went online Frugo or something with a site, and I
(27:12):
ordered it but I didn't any research. I thought it
would actually be sent over that or something on a
on a on a plane, and three weeks past I'm like, hey, guys,
where's my order? And eventually they sent me a poster instead,
because you can't chip.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Here's a picture of what you ordered.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Yeah, so I framed it. It was it was the
most expensive two hundred dollars post purchase, so I framed
it and it's in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
It feels like they really should have given you money,
but anyway, you know.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
But no, to be fair to the to the well,
I don't know if it was a scam operation or not.
They've gone actually know we're going down to the boy
printing place, skirts skirt a picture of what he ordered,
able to take it a couple of days, rolled it
up until one of those nice little cardboard containers.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
They've gone to some effort. What you need to appreciate.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
They did, Yeah, they did, said it in a nice
round to make sure that it's.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Not when you get a text going it's the nz
TA your license plates about to be deleted from the database.
That's lazy stuff going on. The printing posters. Appreciate it, Zack.
There's a great text come through on four for a seven.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, that someone basically made some purchases from a well
known business late at night and they're obviously updating their site,
and all the prices came out in sentse and seat
of dollars. Oh and they like, oh, they went, should
we make some purchases? And they okay, we would, and
they did went through and the company honored those purchases,
which pretty cool. So you'd be thinking afterwards.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Just like where's the entire websites?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
By everything? The major warehouse is pretty incredible.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Skill if you wanted tonight, So I'll be going home
and finding me a couple.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Of lady some Tweezers.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
No romance that comes with a form of Tweezers. You
add Tweezers into the b.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
The Tweezers, the Hits, that Jonathan Ben podcast. Who's having
the best weekends?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
They not me on the buttons today the best weekend.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
We do this every week the North and South Island
go head to head pitch each other. Now usually it's
the wonderful Connor from christ Church representing the South, and
Haley from the Hits in Wellington, who is sick today.
And you know what she's sick of. She's sick of
finding guinea pig competitions and mail strip reviews to promote,
to try and be Connor. So she's taking the week
off and Meghan, you're going to be representing the North.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
And Connor, who is the ground announcer at the Warriors,
is in the studio this morning in enemy territory there, Connor.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I feel weird.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Just energy.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
It's all good. It's North Island energy. Like you can
smell the lattes and the arrogance.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
And the over expensive coffee is out. You're seventy for
a long black this morning what's going on there?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Come appear with your small town for a long black
How much do you pay for a house?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
So you're how you're choosing to spend your party a
weekend here in the north. But anyway, yeah, well you.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Got me there, come up here for the fun.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, it's glorious.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So why don't you go first? Connor? What's happening in
the South Island this weekend?
Speaker 9 (30:20):
Well? I did want to start with sort of a
North Island South Island Derby actually, which is in christ Church.
The Cannoby Rams, who were the first seed in the
Sales NBA basketball competition. All season lone, I've been watching
an unusual amount of domestic basketball.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
On television for some reason.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
It's been basically won sixteen games straight at one point.
The final is on Sunday between the Cannobary Rams and
the Auckland Tortata. It's a rematch of last year's Grand Final.
The Tortata have been in the Grand Final three years
in a row, including this year, and they haven't won
a single championship. So it's a big game in christ
Church on Sunday two thirty.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
So it's hard to have Corey Webster in the team.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Yeah, they have all the big name stars NATAI I
think as well Nati. But the Rams lucky old Brook
this since he won the MVP, the Youth Player of
the Year, the Beast Forward or something like that, he
won like all the awards. So Rams are the best
and they're gonna win.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
There you go. There's some references that the audience.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Yes, I've not really sporty, right, we'll fcking out what

well too early for Christmas with Megan.

Like a Tracy when I'm representing the North because I'm
from the South.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Yeah, I mean you need to decide out of these
middling of beads and handling.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
The wine and I'm going to give it to you
and me. Again, this is because Connor is here. Connor
is here. I can't get past the fate that Connor
has that's gone from the south to the north for
part of the weekends.
