Speaker 1 (00:01):
With the John and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma making
the world a better tea.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey, Friday Nights went along into a dance recital. My
daughter Poppy heavily in to dance, and a large part
of the time is sitting outside dance studios tending dance events.
But it's beautiful. It's wonderful to see that. It's just
a passionate about something that's great.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yeah, that's what you want your kids to be. Passionate.
Keep him off the bloody streets and off the ram rating.
That's what I've always seen, off the tiktoks.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
But in this hall and the Warriors are on, obviously,
and I could feel a lot of anxious fathers just
you know, where's us over? Just shaky legs and watch
Chicken got kick off for the Warriors on Saturday.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
So a little bit later, I imagine maybe it would
have played into the hands and it.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Did leave a little bit of carrot. We can get
this done. And you know, you could feel the tension
in the room.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
But was there anyone with phones out? Could you see
anyone watching?

Speaker 5 (00:56):
No?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well, here's the problem because generally we like to set
a few rows back because some of the dancers. My
son Osky will turn to me and go, I don't
know where to put my eyes right now, And I'm like,
just stare at the ground sun.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Right and the way the way they're dancing, the way
they dancing, got the outfits.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
And but we were we were front row. It was
nowhere to hide, so I couldn't see if anyone was
on their phone watching the warriors. But there's a lot
of steering at the ceiling should be watching the But
then you also you're in a position where you don't
want to be rude. These people have worked hard on
their routine.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
Is watching you.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
So I kind of go between ceiling floor, watch a
bit of dance, your sort of eyes all over the place,
just keep things safe.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
But something happened over the microphone.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
And I think this is probably one of the top
ten worst things that can happen to your human being
is when your car registrations called out, oh yeah, you
know in care who's driving an n Q four eight
seven eight Highlux And you're like, oh, what's the highlucks
if you could please move your car at the moment,
and then they get into the next song. Now, obviously

(02:03):
the person who's owning the vehicle. They don't want to
get up in front of everyone because then.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
You know who's getting up with hurry, yes, irresponsibly parked,
so no one gets up.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
After the next song registration in quo we've called the
towing service, We're called now. At this point, I'm like, bro,
you got to move. You've got to stand up, walk out.
Don't care even if you stand up, walk out, drive off,
don't come back.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah you know, tell your daughter who is dancing. They
can to do bo. But then the next song plays,
comes back again. Listen.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
At this point, I'm like, you have need you need
to educate. The toe tracks on the way and then
she names the crime.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
She's like, you've parked across the principal's car.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
But the principal can't get out, had a long week
of work, wants to go home.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
On the front you're blocking them in.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
So now we know the principal is not staying to
watch the dancer.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
You hop for the Warriors.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Was actually a drama, didn't and what happened in the
in the latest series of is this guy's car go
to get towed? Boom, some gentleman runs out, couldn't hold
on any longer. And I don't know if you returned,
and she's like, all right, well here's the Danny book
Dance Academy's rendition of my neck, my back.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
And the towing the issue was so if you know.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
You were like, oh, my CAS's actually got parked down
in there as well.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Moved there.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
The hats that jonaan Ben podcast speak speaking.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Of public pools, if you were telling this before the show.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
You're going to hate this, Ben. So I went to
a hotel over the weekend. It was my birthday and
was so we had a little steak ae and I
don't generally like public swimming pools. I'm scared of the
plasters and the heirs and stuff floating. So it's just
like one human soup exactly having a bath together.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, there's so much I do that you don't let
it get to you here. There's so much chlorine running
through that thing that you like, I think.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Certainly, don't let that water get into your head. Don't
put your head under.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
But I decided at the weekend I was going to
go into like the hotel Spa, which is really big,
about twenty people can fit into it.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
So's a lot of skin cells.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
I know, and someone turned on the jets and you know,
in the bubbles have like like souper looking. You're like, oh, I,
there's a lot of chlorine anyway, So I'm already a
bit of a germ of Poe in that scenes, sitting
there with twenty other people and in the corner as
a guy.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
I don't know. I have no idea where he was from.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Maybe it was some kind of exent I don't recognize,
but I was like, maybe this is what they do.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Is it important to the story you're doing?

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Like a maybe maybe that's what he was doing, is
like more excestible.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Maybe I love it when your period to tell a story,
then they whisper the race of the.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
Person and you're like, well why bearing of what I know?
So yeah, maybe it's more acceptable.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
But he was sitting there with his kid, I wouldn't say,
probably about nine years old, and the kid's sitting on
his lap and he starts.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
Squeezing the dad's pimples.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Oh the kid does in the spare sitting there.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
We're all sitting in the spa squeezing not one.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
It went on for like five minutes and everyone's kind
of just looking being like oh, grim like.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Where is where's the juice going?

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Is going?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Conflicted conflicted emotions about this because I actually google and
YouTube videos of that.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Oh you enjoy it, George, very relieving.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Viewer is to watch but not bathing.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
No, you were not on the show at the time.
But John I got called out. Someone had witnessed John
O poolside cutting his toenails.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Are you, Joe?

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Apparently not, I'm in They're like this. John walk Baster
was sitting by the pool and it was trimming his tone.

Speaker 6 (06:07):
Like into the pool.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I don't know if no some context here, Yeah, not
into the ball.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
But I was on a cheer.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
And I was like, well, I'm doing nothing else here,
I may as well do some maintenance somebody, because you know,
you're just sitting there on a cheer doing nothing.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yeah, you're in a fishing guy. Your dogs out for
the first time of summer, right, Oh yeah, maybe they
do need a cut. I'll get it. I get it,
but I'll probably go into a bathroom situation.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Did you catch the clippings they were going on to
a sort of a tiled grassy. Yeah, And I was
a Hits listener to She phoned up and she's like,
my daughter, my daughter text me and said, don't come
to the pool. John was cutting his toenails because there's
a morbid fear toenails.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
You're just letting them pang everywhere.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
In public space.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
God the hits that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I want to play a little game with you.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Obviously, it brings the world together an event like this,
which is the very special thing about the Olympics is we're.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
All engaged in one event. That's very cool. Yeah, thinking
how many billion people live in the world.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
But obviously there's loads of commentators and journalists from around
the globe and they're going.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
To play a little game with you.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Okay, I'm going to have nipped some commentary here and
you have to tell me what sport is being commentated on. Okay,
good luck to you. The first one I will tell
you is not actually an Olympic sport. It's a little clue,
all right, take it away.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
It is in Chinese.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Plumb of other.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
No respect for the microphone or the distortion.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
It sounds like slaps game you used to play and
when you slap someone else's hand.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
It was formula one was it.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Was like a like a Chinese vision of a like
a radio show. Where everyone's just talking all each other
at the same time and laughing.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Cloud a Meghan of yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
That was formula.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I really appreciate the energy levels there.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Great, just bring down the mics a touch. Okay, here's
the next one.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Together going on this Norwegian Kirk com here cok.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Go ahead, that's a great they're really it's if you're
listening to it, you're picking a race. Yeah, quick, quick, quick,
quick quick, like a relay race.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
So what is it? Cycling?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Who do?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Cycling? Could just could be so high energy?

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Something quite adorable and affable about international commentary, isn't there?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Here's and here's the last one for you. If you
know this is a little gimme okay, low hanging fruit.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Here are you.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
Value?

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Find find don't go go go.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
No, he's really pushing something across the finish line.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Brush.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Sounds like he's on a look that'll be back tomorrow.
The international commentary.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
It was football Goal.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Spain, the Hits that Jan Ben podcast. Meghan.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Someone else has slept into your DMS. Meghan.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Yes, So if you have a conundrum and you want
the whole country to weigh in on it, we do
it anonymously.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Take your private issue public like, should we play a
parody song to the artist. That's something we could come
with your DNS for.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah, you can slide into my dms like this person
has obviously again anonymous, but yeah, let us know what
you think and what they should do. I have a
best friend from primary school. We grow up together as
mates and are still close to this day. I was
the best man at his wedding. Our wives have become
close and so have our kids. Both our families still

(10:26):
go on holiday together. So that's the context of the relationship.
Here's what happened recently. He told me that he stupidly
kissed a colleague at a work function. He hasn't told
anyone else, but needed to get it off his chest.
His wife is awesome, but knowing her like I do,
she would most certainly leave him if this ever came out.

(10:47):
Here's my issue. My wife and I have very open communication.
I hide nothing from her, and I feel like this
information I need to tell her because if it were
to get out that I knew, she would be very disappointed.
But knowing her moral like I do, if I tell her,
she will demand something. As said to his wife, I'm
stuck in the middle here, And to be honest, I

(11:07):
wish you'd never said anything.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
It's a globe to carry.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
That's all I'm thinking right now, this to myself or not? Damn?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
And unless it smir what what smooching? Are we talking?
Entry level smooching? Banging?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
She?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
You know, we open mouth, the tongues getting confused with
each other.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
It sees it a work function, so you imagine it's
probably more than just a pick.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
A smooch of passion, right, jeez, I don't know you've
got okay? Your options are you take this to your
grave and you know everyone needs that one piece of
information that slowly eats away with your soul until the
day they die.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
That's that's an option. That's an option.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
The other option is you go and smooch someone from
your work and you tell him that information cancels out
the smooching.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
And I don't know if that's quite the best option.
What would you do, Megan?

Speaker 1 (11:58):
What?

Speaker 4 (11:59):
What's I really don't know. It's a really tough position,
very tough position to be.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
I just think honesty has got to be the best
policy there. I would tell your wife, and then if
she tells you that she needs to tell the wife.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
Then give your friend the heads up.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Then you're like yeah, because he's.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
He's saying like knowing, You're like I do she would
leave him, but it's a cass.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
There's kids and everything involved. You don't know that.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
I probably do nothing. To be honest, I'd probably not
say anything with you. It's not the best policy, not
a place to say something.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
It only sounds like drama will come with this information.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Especially if the wife's got to air. But it's hard.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's not that you ever want to levelize cheating in
any way. But in terms of it's not a rampant affair, No,
it's an ongoing thing. It's he clearly knows it was
a mistake. He's not going to do it again. Yeah,
can you let it slide?

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Would you Okay, you're you're the wife in this position.
You find out three months later, what are you doing?
Andrew's been smooching up for one of the best I
would just.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Go to therapy about it. I wouldn't just like chuck
it all in. She says that she's already headed.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
To work the heads that JOHNA and Ben podcast to recap.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
If you've just st tuned into the show. This was
the message of Megan received on DM.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
I have a best friend from primary school.

Speaker 5 (13:19):
They grew up together, their mates to this day, they're
best men at each other's wedding, their wives and.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Family are friends now.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
But he can fight it in his friend and city
kissed a colleague at work. So now he's like, what
do I do with this information?

Speaker 6 (13:33):
Do I tell the wife?

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Do I tell my wife because they have a very
open and honest relationship, but he believes that the wife
would leave his friend if she found out.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
She'd always do it. Katie Perry did. She put it
into a song and she I guess the girl and
I liked it, so she didn't really apologize for it,
though she said, I guess we didn't know a relationship status,
though I guess at the time didn't, So I.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Mean options available.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
He takes us to the grave, keeps quiet and just
hopes that nothing comes out. I mean, if he's in
him and his friend are the only two that know.
Obviously the lady's lips she was involved at work, she knows.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
But I just I don't know a lot of a
lot of texts are coming in saying as the wife,
they wouldn't want to know.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
To be honest and real, this was if this was
me in real time, I would tell Jennifer, but she
wouldn't say anything. She wouldn't say anything. We wouldn't say anything.
It's not it's not your place to deliver that information.
I mean, you could part you have a conversation with him,
go hey, man, I feel like this is something that.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
You need to open up about. Yes, it's not your
place to me.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
I'm not going to tell the wife.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
No, but I would even tell my wife in this situation,
like why why Now she's got the burden. You know
that you're giving another burden to her, and she's got
the relationship with her friend and she's going to end
up wanting to say something. So I definitely would not
even tell Amanda of the situation.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
But if I was the wife and that had happened,
I would want to know.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
So your thoughts on it. It's a complicated one.

Speaker 7 (15:04):
Oh yeah, So my name is Hope.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh Hope, I've been calling you Sophie for the last
ten minutes while you've been off here.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Anyway, I like Hope better. That's a good name for you.
What do you recognize?

Speaker 7 (15:17):
So I think I would tell him he needs to
tell his wife because it would honestly be so much
for it if he found out for someone else.

Speaker 6 (15:28):
I agree.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
I agree because I've been the same situation my ex.
This is the same thing, and he told me.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah, I was a bit eat off, but I felt
a lot better that he told me and not someone else.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
That's good. That's good.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
That's good advice, open honesty.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Thank you very much, Hope or Sophie or whatever you
like to call yourself, really appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Tiny Asha, welcome, good morning. Do you get your name
Chris to Tinyasha?

Speaker 7 (16:01):
Tanisha? But close enough?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Worth?

Speaker 4 (16:06):
Did you really? Was it? Again?

Speaker 3 (16:10):
You just don't know, Tanisha, I like, too, what do you?
What would you do here? Mate?

Speaker 7 (16:19):
I I agree with Hope. If he didn't want it
to get out, he wouldn't received anything to you. But
it's not your place to say anything. He needs to.
He needs to tell his wife himself, because that's the
only way she's going to feel like she actually was

(16:39):
respected enough to be given that honesty.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, I suppose there's an embarrassment of like, oh, how
many people knew when I was just going about my day?

Speaker 3 (16:46):
And yeah, I get that.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
I get that there.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Well, thank you so much, Tanyasha, lovely speaking with you
so many texts.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Stay shush, keep silent, act like you never and you
it's not your business, don't say anything.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
I just think if you respect your friend's marriage, the
only way that's going to carry on in like a
healthy way.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
As if they talk about it. It doesn't have to
be that like it's a kiss.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
So what are you saying? What do we need to
give a summary right now?

Speaker 5 (17:12):
I don't think he should tell her, but I think
he should tell his mate that maybe she needs to
have that conversation with him, be honest and try and
work through it.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Wow, I'd love to be that mate today.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
That jonaan Ben podcast saying when you.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
My last trip to Vegas, I was asked for my
autograph because they didn't want my autograph.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
They wanted Amy From even.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
They thought they thought you were Amy Lee This.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
It might have been the eyeliner I did rock a
bold eyeliner back in the day.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
But did you take the photo as Amy Lee From.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
I tried to tell them I wasn't her, and they
thought I was being coy. So I signed an autograph.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
And took the did you write the words, Amy Lee?
Did you?

Speaker 1 (17:59):

Just a quick question on that Ami Lee thing.

Speaker 2 (19:55):

A lot of questions that could have been asked.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
But that's a lot of darts.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
By rating on stage? Not yet, No, Dar's up there?
Are you still up there? Okay?

Speaker 2 (20:39):
It's darts and maybe you're singing now we'll all time.
But Darryl Lake for the first tequila Baby do like.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
That's a gary song.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
This is a song for someone who gets forced to
do it, doesn't.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Want to say up a lot of dance which is
gonna make you feel little bit of good. But I'm
all right here you go, guys, Carol.

Speaker 9 (21:01):
Still there were jumping back to I love that.

Speaker 4 (21:15):

Made our day.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
Thank you, Jonah Ben, thank you.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Thank you for the hits that Joan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Yeah, it's also a big day for me, guys, because
I think I'm pretty much at the end of my
chats about going away overseas. What do you mean it's
the last time you can probably play this.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
John, To be fair, have we milked all the USA
col Moore?

Speaker 4 (21:46):
But I'm starting to get really self conscious about it.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
So I'm not tidi are you being in the USA
the last time.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
You mentioned it is telling us that he's got nothing more.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
We'll do it.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
We'll do an audience Forge poll for would you like
more USA continent audio?

Speaker 4 (22:04):
You know, because I did go over and visit some family,
but one thing, one moment there was actually really cool there.
I got to experience over there, and my daughter, one
of my daughter's really into acting in musical theater. She
does a lot of shows. And everyone kept saying, you
going to New York, you need to take it to
a Broadway musical show. Yeah, And then I went, yeah,
I do. And then I looked at the prices and
I was like, oh, maybe I don't. Maybe I don't,

(22:24):
but it's incredible. I take it to the movies instead. Incredible.
You go, Yeah, shows come to New Zealand, you know,
like Hamilton or whatever, they play for two weeks. But
over there there are shows. There are hundreds of shows
every single day and they do it twice a day.
It's Hamilton, Lion, King of Laddin, back to the Future,
what could you name it. The shows is just on
seven days a week.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
They're kind of running definitely until people aren't going, but.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Until people get bored of them, like I've been in
the USA story exactly.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
So I took my daughter, my wife and I were like, well,
maybe just two of us should go because it's quite expensive.
So my life's like you two show ponies, you go,
You take your daughter, see her along. And so it
was a really special moment to go along to her
so very excited about going, as was I. To go
along and see Wicked the musical, which is incredible, a
story about the Wizard of Oz, the backstory of the
Wicked Witch.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
That's the one she's playing the Witch, isn't she in
the movie?

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, So it's very special. Was sitting down, they were
very excited, and just as it started, you know, it opened,
she gave me a little nudge and I was like,
what's going on. She was like, she should have motioned
to the person sitting next to her. It's like old mate,
old mate, sitting next to her. Just she just fallen
asleep right right from the get go. Now I understand
probably quite sleepy conditions.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, that's the you know, it's a woman who does
suffer from theater and arca lipsy, but let's.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Interest the sleepiness of the environment hadn't even start, like
it just started and he was already asleeping. Well, oh oh,
let's keep an eye on not only the show, but
also keep an eye on him in his sleeping conditions.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Like turn the aircon down, leave the lights on full.
Then you get a more a loose ground.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Yeah, and he sleppt like without a word of the
lie through the first half like every now I get
you to wake up briefly and joining it on a clap,
need not back off again, halftime awake and then second half.
I'm surely he's had all a sleeping no back to
it again. I'm like, mate, you've paid like I know,
I know what I paid him. We're like three rows
from the back. Yeah, it's like you paid a lot

(24:12):
just to have a comfortable sleep in a chair. Who
was well, I think I'm guess it's by the family.
I'm guessing they were taurists as well.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
But maybe maybe it's maybe it's definitely the missus drig
in your long situation. Maybe she wants the tickets off
the radio station.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
It's like we had great sleep. He had a great
sleep as well.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
I sympathized with him. I have been to a handful
of musicals. School of Rock was awesome, really enjoyed it.
But then our old producer Dan who now does the
breakfast show on the Edge, then we be he likes
musical theater.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
He was a Lamers. We all went along as a
team Lamers.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Come watch we do Lamers Now.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
I was like, I saw the first half of Lamers
and I couldn't be more lame miserable by halftime.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
That's what he did. He texted them, They text the
guy in the show and said, hey, mate, something like
a great show. I just wondering how long the second
half is gonna be. At the middle of the show,
nothing would rattle me more as a.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
Performer, like you hate it that much?

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Know he had done an excellent job. He was so good,
and I had a half.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I had all the references I needed to talk to
him about the next day to go hey, you did this,
this and this, to sort of signify that I was
there for the whole time.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I was just like, I just wanted to know for
my peace of mind how much longer I had to
sit there for.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I was like, hey, just and I didn't say it half.
I was like mate, you're nailing it up there, great stuff.
And then I kind of just segueted in, just out
of interest. How long is the second half? And he
said not as long as the first, And it felt
as long as the first.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
The outrage game. We look on the Internet and we
find an article where people have been outrage ever something,
and then we tell the headline and the rest of
us need to guess why they think they were out.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
I think we're too flippant with the term outrage nowadays.
Someone writing a scathing comment on a read it for
him as the laziest form of outrage, protesting God, there's nothing.
It's just some guy called a scrumpy eighty two's written
to something and forgotten about it and gone on with
the day a year. You're right, so is it outrage
or not? But the Internet likes to claim it is outraged.
And Megan, wats your headline? We have to try and.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
Figure out a woman was slammed? Does the bad date
after paying for the bill?

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Oh? Slammed is the bad date for paying for the bill?

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Maybe she used one of those bloody you know how
you get those big entertainment books.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
What do they call the entertainment And she used a coupon.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
No, she didn't use the coupon. It cround of.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Mine, come home and sell that. They sell those at school.
We used to buy by these entertainment.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Besides the Bible.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Those enormous You always get to a place and you're like, oh,
I've got a thing for that at home.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, but then you have an enormous amount of guilt
handing over the coop and I feel like the person
the matre d behind the counter is like, oh, you're
a coupon.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Come up here, it's my twenty five percent off this milk.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
So it wasn't a coupon, it wasn't a coop on.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
So she was slammed by the date and by people
online because she paid for half of the bill. But
the guy was like, well, I thought I was paying
for the whole thing. I only got a glass of
water and one one.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
Mate. If I knew I wasn't paying for the whole meal,
I would have got more. I would have bought more.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
So people thought she should have been upfront. Maybe we'll go.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Just seems like, yeah, he's a big becker. Have split
the bill in half.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah, people were saying right from the get go, she
should have told been upfront that she was going to split.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
He's outraged because she paid for her right.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Just take it as a one.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Yeah, you don't like to split the bill. You like
to pay for what your word.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Yeah, well, in huge group situations.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
And then I'm kind of agreeing with you because then
some people drink way more than I split it.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
We ate the same. I was like, yeah, but you
had like twenty beers.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
That's all happens when.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Steaks.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
It's caused of outrage, outrage on the opening ceremony. Now
you guys might have seen this. That was outrage. So
I'm going to front foot it and say they had
a parody of the Last Supper, which was you know,
back up dancers, drag queen performers celebrating the l g B,
t Q a a Q plus community, which is really cool.
I thought they celebrated the community. But obviously people upset

(28:24):
because it's a Christian thing, and you know that was
causing out.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Right, Who's just say the word he gave at the
Last Supper. They might have been suppressing their.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Emotions, probably just in the way that they did it.
They were body painted and stuff like that. They thought, maybe,
you know, this shouldn't have been done as far as
a Christian scene, which I.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Get, but there was Christians in my body paint.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Well, it was just probably the way it was. It
looked like it was mocking. But there was one particular
thing take that aside. Was another thing outrage over that
as well. Around the last sketch, Yes that not everyone spotted.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
It went on too long.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
The guy to do with the guy who's painted blue.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
You could say.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
You could see parts of them, yeah, exposed, Well you
could see apparently blue testicles like you could say blobosa.

Speaker 10 (29:11):
People watching it. Is this a wardrobe mishap? Or was
this intentional but little dangly little Yeah apparently. So that's
international TV too, I know international TV.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
The haats that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Yeah, Megan's just flashing through.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
She's in the Woman's Weekly, Women's Day and a dress.
It was the beautiful pink clothing, happy family, kids looking wonderful,
Andrew looking wonderful as usual.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Yeah, this is fun.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
I thought there was a joke looking wonderful in there.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
You actually you can't tell by looking at the photos
that my daughter was having a massive mountdown the whole time.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
They managed to get some of whom smiling.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Lovely photos.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Good thing about photos, everyone can look happy for a
split seat just at that moment.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
A speaking of which, on TikTok, Yeah, there's.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
A disturbing TikTok cosmetic surgery trend going around and doctors
raising alarm about it. Influencers are doing it overseas. I
don't think you need the doctors to raise alarm, but
it I mean, each to your own, but it does
seem very unusual, including getting pointed faces so chin very
very pointy, so thinking plastic suit you for that, sculptured
jawlines and massive massive biceps.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Like popeye arms after he said pre post spinach, Yeah,
you're right, huge apps.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
None of the rest of them is huge, just coming and.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Just like mere putting on any business shirts or anything.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
But that's the latest trend going.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
There's one part of your body you could expand.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Now you've sit, Now you all laughed.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
