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

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

Speaker 3 (00:06):
In time for one of my daughter's kniball games. And
they don't they don't never stop nipble. Are you a
nibble tonight too?

Speaker 4 (00:11):
Oh no, we had it.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Last night and just as it's just torential, just and
I all can find in the car was one of
those you know, you get the small umbrellas, not the
big ones, and I kept going in side out ever
required a tiny umbrella.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Yeah, in the bag. It's probably the benefit. I can
put them down and put them in the bag, you
know that's the only real But then when if you
pull it out, you're like the surface area it covers
is really one of those. It was, it was like,
hurry up and get the scam finish.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, think about the volunteer like people who aren't actually
watching their own kids. All those true who volunteer up
their time, they're.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
Like why am I doing?

Speaker 4 (00:47):
And the kids playing as well through the I was
about my umbrella's a bit small going inside out. It's
hard when it's always embarrassing when your umbrella goes inside out,
and there's never a cool way to get it back
in position.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
It.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, I kind of had to hold.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
One hand on the umbrella and the other one holding
it up just to try and.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Real cool. Do you know I saw you say this
is crazy and I've seen we're not seen, but been
a part of three crimes in the last five days. Okay,
you've seen a part. Yeah. We had the stolen car
that was running windows open outside my you know, across
my driveway. That was last one was that Friday. And

(01:33):
then I went for a run saw someone breaking into
a car. They looked me dead in the eyes and
I look them did in the eyes, and I'm like,
let's not speakable as you Yeah, I'd never my phone,
so I couldn't call police. Hopefully he didn't do it,
but you never, he looked like he looks like I
did to us.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
What do you do though? Do you stop and standing
with your hands on your hips and be like no.

Speaker 6 (01:56):
It was kind of.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Jogging past them, and he was like, oh, speak to
see you and we didn't say anything to each other,
and I was like, oh, call the police. That I
got home on the phone that one o five but
couldn't be hold around. And then yesterday driving home and
this young kid I reckon would have been ten eleven
max sprints across the front of my cars and John

(02:17):
I had to put the brakes on. Oh that's odd.
Maybe he's late for a bus or something. He was
hoofing it. Then about three seconds later has made same things,
sprinting across and I drove up to the intersection, saw
across the road whole kerfuffle outside a dairy people the
owner pointing da da da, da da da, And there
was a police car screaming down the road about one

(02:38):
hundred ks an hour, and I'm having to point they've
run down that way, round down that way, and then
all of a sudden the helicopters out, four cop cars.
So I'm gathering they didn't just shop lift a pack
of EM and MS. There must have been something more
serious they did inside that shop. Can I forget what?
What said a for the shop owners because they're going
to work every day not knowing what's going to happen.

(03:00):
And be also said that people are in a position
that they feel they need to do these things right
to survive.

Speaker 7 (03:08):
At ten years old, Writening, New Zealand used to used
to feel like it was a relatively safe place you know,
but now you hear more and more of these stories
and every day, no matter where you are in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I'm only one person three times in five days Scary
Sad turned into Gotham City out there, guys. Yeah, yeah,
I don't have any artiers or solutions, just sort of
fill some mere time with a bit of banter.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
But so it's weird that you just attract this. I
haven't seen any illegal activity.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
For how much crime you've been involved in the last week, Megan, none,
as rhyme, it happens when you're running at like three
in the morning and.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
All sorts of stuff. You put yourself in some weird spots.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
The Heads that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yesterday we discovered what I think. It's the best karaoke
song for people that don't really want to sing karaoke,
but I have to sing it.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I want to keep the vibes going, want to keep
the party humming. We had this call from Darryl take
a listen. I well, there's only one word, isn't there
not yet? No, We'll all time, but Darryl late for
the first tequila baby, But I do, like says Gary, no,
not yet. Carol still there.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Were genius because you know, I mean, you do have
to stand there and seat of awkwardly dance for a
long time.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
But one word, one word only to sing timing critical
though you do not want to fluff, You've only got
one word. And the thing is, when you're singing songs
with actual words, is you can if you fluff a word,
you can make it up with the dozens of other
words and the lyrics. But this is you've only got
one one chance risk. Are you a karaoke person?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I do like a bit of karaoke, but I'm married
to a singer.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Nothing more intimidating I find because I don't I don't mind,
but I'm not. I'm honestly not a good like it
at all. But once someone gets up there and sings really,
really well, it's really hard for anyone else to come up.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Yeah, no one wants to go after that night, but.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
It's always that that person's always the one. Like, about
ten o'clock at night, shall we go to karaoke? Yeah, okay,
we're having a good time here, but I guess and
then you dragged along and you basically just watching one
person concert.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
Yeah, they're like, no, I'm shy Waite.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
The songs, Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
So we thought, well, we should test Darryl's theory that
tequila is the best karaoke song. So after the show
today I was singing, began, whatever is probably the best
person to test it, right, I think you should test.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
I felt like we're leaning that way. In the meeting yesterday,
I had no saying it. Meghan's like, I'll be really good.
Iohn got up there, and then Ben's like, so look
when you're standing up there.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
I was like, open discussion about it, and I will
watch and we'll get people from the office to come down.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
And you know, we've got like a little stage area
at work.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Get you up there in front of the office. Mid morning,
perfect time for karaoke. No one's had a single drink.
Everyone just want to to get on with their day.
They're impatient, and they're going to have to watch you
awkwardly dance until we get to that.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
But it's like forty seconds until the first to keep a.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Long run, I think it's going to feel like ten
years standing up there and you want me to do
the whole song, I'll did the whole whole song. Oh song, Yeah,
No matter how many talk for killer.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
I think we are going to walk out.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
I don't want any more other words, so I'll only
do it. No, you give me a Mexican hat, I'll
get this tequila afterwards. So we're going to do that
after the show today, Social Experiment to an audience of
unenthusiastic colleagues who want to get on with your workday.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
By the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Ed Burn Welcome back to New Zealand. You're looking very
confused at the moment, and.

Speaker 8 (06:45):
Now I'm just look at I'm just feeling like an
old man. I'm just looking around at the studio and
I think that's my only Syrus and I'm not sure
who's next to us.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
I think, yeah.

Speaker 8 (06:53):
Okay, fair enough, you're up with the plane.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Okay, we're doing the best song ever at the moment
on the station, and.

Speaker 8 (06:59):
The best song everg and Miley, Cyrus and Pinker. You're
too post the girls for the best song ever?

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Well, we do in a format right, Okay, Okay, that's
obviously not Maley for you. What is the best song
given for you.

Speaker 8 (07:17):
Know, it's a tricky one, but I would definitely have
to be something by Prince. I think Let's Go Crazy
was just the perfect fusion of rock and pop.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yeah, I love people Ryan Prop.

Speaker 8 (07:28):
I saw a whole documentary with Proper Rain and Doctor Fink.
You know the keyboard player. Prince just something up the
best where he says to me, it isn't that song.
There's not a ounce of funk in the thing for
Prince's stuff. It was his real crossover. It was the
wisest song he ever recorded. It was his free bird.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
You know, Okay, what's your favorite Pink Mally sayrus song memes?

Speaker 8 (07:47):
Do you know what I do? You know what may
song I hate? Is that one about how she used.

Speaker 9 (07:51):
To be young?

Speaker 5 (07:52):
It was literally used to be young.

Speaker 8 (07:54):
I can't do that song because, if ever there's a
song guaranteed to make me feel old, it's a girl
whose dad was in the charts when I was young,
thinking about how she used to be young, Like you
got any idea how ancient that makes people like me feel.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
I think she's just thirty and she's like I used
to be. Everyone's like, shot, you.

Speaker 8 (08:15):
Are still young, trust me you are. I wouldn't be
able to hold a conversation with you. That's how young
you are.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Thirteen The cities across New Zealand, and I didn't even
know we had thirteen cities.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
Look, there's a long way to come for me once.
I'm not just going to pop in do christ Church, Auckland,
Wellington and out again. Fear going everywhere. Yeah, so you
know there's maybe some people are going, why isn't he
coming like maybe the people of Blenham are going, why
isn't he coming here? Why is he only going to Nelson?

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Choice?

Speaker 8 (08:50):
Choice exactly? You know you mean dot come on Blenham.
Don't don't don't be don't be like that the road.
Come to Nelson. Don't make me go everywhere.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
It's an hour and a half drive from Nelson.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's not fun.

Speaker 8 (09:00):
I've come all the way from the UK.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
You know you can come an hour and a half.
I didn't.

Speaker 8 (09:06):
I didn't send in New York. I did a week
in New York with this show. And somebody goes, oh,

Speaker 4 (09:13):

is your chance. And now we we do know a
little rumor about you that you like to even town.
You're a delight to go to a local pub, and
have a pint before your before the.

Speaker 8 (09:30):

Speaker 4 (09:32):
We thought we might be able to get you a
free point if we call the Rutland Arms and fong
in and see if we can book the appointment. You
come in for your point and we get it free.

Speaker 8 (09:40):
Yeah. Yeah, if we just give them a shower down
on air, then.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
We'll get them a call. Now does that ring you bells?
Have you been to the land?

Speaker 8 (09:47):
Should should it? Is it notorious to have you picked
the Rutland Dames? Then?

Speaker 4 (09:52):
I don't know, And I've just just realized that calling
a pub at this time in the morning is probably
to we're not on a hiding to nothing. We've got
an answer, Trevis. We thought we were on a hiding
to nothing and in the pubb wasn't going to answer.
It's John O being and Meghan here and we are

Wow, right, let's just take everyone off the list.

people to call.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
You something more key than that free point for your mate.

Speaker 8 (10:54):

The hits that johnaan Ben podcasts.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
And Megan before seven o'clock. Your life put a pole
up on our social medium, and I feel like the
ulterior motive is to justify something that you believe is
perfectly kosher cute. You're trying to get the people on,
You're trying to win the people over.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Testing the waters because yeah, me and my husband are
pretty gross.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
We know this about ourselves.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
We perfect, perfect couple. Want to don't put.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
That into the universe couple. No, no, no, we're not.
We're not.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
We're not smoothing it all.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
But we don't mind a bit of p d A.
We're kind of like, who cares?

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Would you? Are you publicly passion couple? No?

Speaker 5 (12:12):
No, no, no, no to.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Pick on the lips, yeah, we pick and handhold. Yeah
he refuses to hold hands in public? Well, I don't
often times of time, But why do you generally not?
It's not like refuse? Don't you? Don't you show me
any picture? A fiction only behind closed doors.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I know a lot bit of fiction, but I hate
in fiction or fiction fiction when people.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Really put on the p d A. I'm like, come on, God,
would you slip a would you slip a sly hand
down the back jean pocket of Amanda as you're walking along?
Are you a great time?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
It wasn't us, but we went to burger Field find establishment.
But I feel like it's important because then you know
what kind of place it was. So everyone's getting takeaways,
some people sitting down, like having a quick eat and
getting on their way. This couple had turned up and
they had kind of reserved an area.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
They had set a.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Little table and it had like a little vase with flowers.
They had made it their own and they were on
like a little date. So there was flowers, there was
a vase that brought their own knife and fork. They'd
made like plates, like a full on little sitting for themselves.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Are you thinking cute?

Speaker 5 (13:35):
I went in and I was like, that's really cute.
Oh my gosh, that's so cute.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
And my husband, given what you know about us, was like, no,
that's we've never done there.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
That's cringe. That's no. Well, I would finally find the
line for him. He wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
He wouldn't set up a full knife fork plate dinner
on a takeaway table in the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
We probably wouldn't because I feel like everyone would be
judging me. But I think I thought it was cute.
I was like, good on them, you know, like they
don't care about anyone else.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Do it for a gag, like a like a joke,
like a you.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Know, judging by the couple, I don't think they were no, okay,
I think they were quiet.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Now you made me feel bad for wearing a tuxedo
to McDonald's, making my wife wear her wedding dress, having
a full plated meal. I thought it was cute.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
But we've put cute or cringe on our on our Instagram,
most people think it's cringe. Sixty percent think that it
was cringey.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
A lot of edmund involved in it. Did you have
to bring along everything, the cutlery, everything.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
Mom's gone New Zealand Everyone's like.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Me, but I don't like a dress up?

Speaker 3 (14:40):
And I'm like, like, I don't mind, you know, like
making a show. So he likes a prank, he loves
the social media video. Yeah, so I'm like, oh, this
is a technical wife fancy.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah, but you like dressing up as did so I'm like, hey,
I can take the kids, you know, to be honest.
The plated meal and burger feels the lintery to the scale.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
For your parents. On social media, it's it can be
a risky game, and it's something that I have campaigned
for publicly to have Instagram where you just have the
grandose on there, you know, and they can do whatever
they want, the old, the old classic up the neck
double chin shot and no one's going to judge them.
But they are involved in mainstream social.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Media, and I do I appreciate that my parents are
both of them. Yeah they're separated, but they both.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Give a crack. They give it a crack.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
My mum in particular, loves a Facebook comment stuff, no
matter what article it is, your comment on whatever it
has particularly to do with me, whatever.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
And I'm like, oh god, no, I won't say her
Facebook name because the people know who does, but I
will tell you her name. And then you look at
all the comments, You're like, oh, you're looking a little
tired bit and I'm like, screams mom, just like a comment.
They're kind of like, oh, it is your eyes.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
So she'll comment on the Facebook as well. You just
like text me or something. Sometimes it's the only comment
Mum will get involved there, and then my dad as well.
He's been dabbling and instagram Instagram, so good on them,
forget giving Instagram a crack.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
But he's over at the moment like a lot of boomers.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
He's on a holiday overseas, you know, got it going
a cruise ship, all those sorts of things. And I
showed you before. He's put one one little photo video
of a boat. But it's not the cruise ship boat
they're on.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
I don't know what boat it's been.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
It's up four times for a separate posts of exactly
the same thing, on after the other. And the end
he's got a couple of photos of just his face
that looks like an accidental selfie, like he's not posing
for it whatsoever. And then he's got some writing on
top with the song. I can see clearly now the rain.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
He looks confused. And again I mentioned the neck under
the chin shot. That's that's what it is. Ever look
at it.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
So that's up there like three or four times, the
same shot multiple times.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Is there any caption? Uh? Well, I don't like what's
he got under there? I can see clearly now the
ra no caption mysterious. He's just got the song. I
can see clearly now the rain has come with the
lyrics of that song. Is it. Has he managed to
load up the audio of the song or just the lyrics?
He's got the audio? Then when I listened to the.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Is that like does he like that song?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
No?

Speaker 12 (17:25):
No, I mean I'm sure he's gone away for six
weeks and the only carriage you've got is four photos
of a boat, a boat he's not on the same
photo and a shot of him looking very confused to came.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
And it's a lot of face in that photo. Face.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
I'm like, he definitely didn't know he was taking that
faces up, a lot of real estate.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
In the he looks accidentally put the photo up and
then add the song and lyrics twice.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
So parents on social media like, has he not chicked
his work? Honestly don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
But what are your parents doing? Are they on social media?
Have they made the stakes? Are they giving it a crack?
On them for giving it a crack? But now we
want the best stories right now, we've got to work
on surprise and stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Parents on social media, my dad given Boyce giving it
a crack.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
You know, he's giving it a crack. Your parents on
social media, Megan.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
My mum's not on anything, but she is kind of
sharing dad's Facebook, but they use it mainly to stalk
and like keep up on what everyone else is doing. Right,
Rather than that, I don't see many posts.

From them, Yeah right, but I.

Get like updates on all the neighbors and everyone. Did
you see that on Facebook?

Speaker 4 (18:36):
It's like a sly gossip. Yeah, yeah, knowing ray Well,
I don't know ray ray Well. Your mum was spoken
to her handful of times, but I'm like she would
be she'ld be a world ride on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (18:48):

either really funny, really should be fire, or should be
a worry.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
My dad's he's got on Facebook, but he's got in
satuation with taken down Putin. Ah, Mum like looked at

how to end putin? How to take down putin? Has

Speaker 9 (19:12):

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yeah? And he said a Facebook count, which I think
is indirectly a tool to try and gets espionage on Putin.
What he is doing because you know Putin's going to
be taken down. He's going to be by retire expected
Liam Neeson.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
They had a lot of movies like that.

You don't want to retiree with a chip on their

Getting up to her Has she made any faux pas
on social Oh?

Speaker 10 (20:49):
Yeah, she has a big one. She got the phone
call from my brother that they were pregnant, and she was,
of course very excited about it, and so she posted
it onto social congratulations, Oh my gosh, I'm going to
be a grandma. But no one else had been told
and become of social media, and because she had become

(21:10):
friends with all my brother's friends, because that was the
thing to do, and I spotted it before I got told.
So I rang her and I was like, you need
to take this down now, and she's like, but I'm
just I just wanted to congratulate them. And I was like, you,
no one else knows, and she's like, I thought I
would have been like one of the last ones. And
I was like, no, you're the first. You're the very first.

don't know how turn me to it right now? And
so yes, she kind of runs the first update or
the first the sixth child for their family.

Well a proud grandma and she's like, you know, who
needs to know about this? The internet straight on there.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
The last thing, too, is when you're trying to give
instructions to a pearent on how to do something on
your computer.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
You're like, slide your mouse over to the right, there's
a little hour.

Speaker 4 (22:00):

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Beginning of the hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (22:38):

back one hundred dollars and today produced Taylor's away.

Speaker 4 (22:53):

if it's they're easy on yeah, that's it might be hard.

Speaker 4 (23:03):

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Okay, Okay, So three three different doctors say that Paul
is their brother, yet Paul claims he has no brothers.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Who is lying?

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Deepen thought, three different doctors brother is their brother? Paul
claims he has no brothers.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Who is.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
I don't want to put pressure on you, but the
phone lines are going.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
You are putting pressure. I don't want to just stay
out of it. Hang up, I know it. Three different
doctors say Paul is their brother, but Paul says, here's
no brothers, no brother It is like no one's lying, yeah,
no one is like because the three doctors do have
a brother named Paul, and Paul is not related to

(24:10):
the three different doctors. Three doctors, a woman mate, there's sexist.
We're all the sisters. They're poor sisters. That's why, jeez,

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Well, you're going to go a hundred box that till
my te hot and cold, Hot and cold tea price pet.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcasts and found stories.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Uh, my wife, Jennifer, she lost an ear ring, so
one air and she got and she just noticed not
an earring wearer. But I imagine, Meghan, it's not something
you noticed immediately you pick it up hours later.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Yeah, because they get caught in things and you don't
even notice you.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
You were hearing she tried to dress like a l
will call j and Dennis Rodman Beck in the did
you lose earrings?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
The good thing is in some ways that I had
one earring, so one sps if I lost one, that
I always hid the second one that I insert in
there as well.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Can I annoying just having to replace one earring?

Speaker 1 (27:12):
You know?

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Yeah? It would be a lot of the time. So
she was getting into beds that night and she says, oh, no,
I don't know who, don't know where it is. Set
on it for a couple of days. Then had this
flash of memory that when she was walking. Now, I
don't know if you know New Zealand's quite big. You know,
you could look, she's walking all over the place. She
had a flash of memory of a split second of

(27:35):
cold brushing on top of her chest. I want to
say the left bosom. Okay, that's some sort of chivalry
sort of moment. That moment and she was like, maybe
that was the moment the ring fell off, grazed my
brasi air and then dropped to the ground. So then

(27:56):
drove to this particular part in a park where she
was walking. No, guess what you found. It would be
very disappointed. Money into the story if I was like
the story, it was a can of moscienergy drinking someone
had not throwing out of the car. No found the

(28:16):
earing ah two days later. Crazy, there's the greatest ring
saga since the Bloody Lord of the Rings as those
countries have ever seen.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
That's that's a miracle finding something where you think you've
lost something and you found it, and was incredible because
there was a I think Italian athlete that lost is
a ring and the opening ceremony of the Olympics there's
winning ring and the river said waving away and lost the.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Parents say goodbye to there. It's gonna be catching buddy
conjunct device or or whatever that things. They can't go
swimming in there.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
At the moment pollution morning, I see the mirror over
there was like, it's all good guys for a swim.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Just did we drink some of it and.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Go to prove they've been seen?

Speaker 4 (28:59):
So no, what I love about this Italian guys. You
know generally if you lose a wedding ring, you're probably
in You know, you got some explaining to do to
your partner. He wrote, My God, the most romantic Instagram post.
I don't know how this legend turned around losing a
wedding ring into a romantic gesture. Ah he listen to this, probably.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
All three things. The fact remains that I felt my
ring slip. I saw it fly away. I followed it
with my gaze until I saw it bounce a pon
the boat. As I saw that ring bouncing again then
drop into the murky waters below, it felt like a

(29:46):
few moments that lasted forever. But if I really had
to lose it, I couldn't imagine a better place.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
It will remain forever in the river bed of.

Speaker 9 (30:00):
The city of love. Maybe if my beloved wife were
throwing into that river as well, we could be together
forever and have one more excuse a new avows again.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Legend. To be honest, you probably didn't lose it, and
they probably left it somewhere.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Gees, I need a good story here, but I'm having
a fear think I lifted the bloody motel.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
The heads that Johona wan Ben podcast just.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
After your miracle Lost and Found stories This morning on
our eight hundred the hits Jackie, good morning to you,
morning you great devyon. Uh the harrowing tale of my
wife losing her earring and only finding it forty eight
hours later on a hunch in the middle of a park.
Incredible lost and Found.

Speaker 11 (30:49):
Yes, I know it would, yet.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
What happened for yours?

Speaker 11 (30:54):
So we were diving the Rainbow Warrior out north and
we've finished our diving. We're just around on a flatable
boats and one of the guys decided to be funny
and try and get my husband pushed. My husband pulled
my husband into the water hot because he was only
had half as wets fit on to get them get cold,
and he had his prescription glasses off, so when he

(31:15):
went over into the water. He lost his prescription glasses
and we only had a little bit of only had one.
Somebody had a bit of stea left in their pinks,
so so we went down for a quick five to
see if they could find the glasses, and we couldn't.
So my husband would go back to the beach on
their infloble boats and even couldn't see anything because he
didn't have his glasses, and we were there for another
couple of days. We went back out the next day

(31:36):
for it by and we thought, well, we'll go down
by the bow of the Rainbow Warrior and then just
swim along and see if we can find the glasses.
And they were sitting just in the water on the
sand at the bottom by the Rainbow Warrior.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
We couldn't believe it, the glasses and the Rainbow Warrior.
And you were more impressed with finding the glasses than
seeing the wreckage.

Speaker 11 (31:56):
Well, I was a bit worried about having to drive
the inflatable boats home because I'm don't like tailers, so
I was more worried about that. So I was happy
the guy from some of my husbands could tow the
trailer miracle.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Fine. Jackie miracle. Fine, that's great, appreciate you caold have
a great day. We'll get a down on. Yeah, Hi,
you're a miracle. Lost and found story of Delaware involves
a necklace and a train station. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (32:21):
So yesterday I got off the train at Bridheamart and
noticed as I was founding out that my one of
my ap pendents was on the floor and the boat
and necklace, and I thought, oh my god, it's the train.
So carried on and went to work. It turned the
whole day to shit, as it would, so so angry

(32:43):
with myself. There were special ones from my kids Hawaii.
You never going to be able to get them again.
Got off the train back at Peperkor and thought, h
what's the chances. I played with the bridge to the
other platform, walked down the practform where I got on
the train. As I turned around come back, it was
the no no and small like a peace a peak.

(33:10):
It is not the first time that rain spoken. I'm
not wearing it again. And I go by a neunit.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
Well, I feel like I had stayed there all day.
No one had swiped it.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
If I had seen it, I would have taken it
down to the Gold House Thankfully no one did like,
no one like me did. See. Congratulations, That's that's a
great not many people catching the train was a training
even going. I'm surprised it was working. That's an incredible story.

Speaker 13 (33:38):
I'm on my way through again.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Well, thank you for sharing it with us.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
We really don't appreciate the hits that John and Ben
podcast I've had.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
I don't even not want to share this story. This
is quite quite embarrassing, quite embarrassing.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Amends.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Well, yeah, I know, and I'm desperately what do you
mean and this, you know, just sa the saying. You
know that I'm I'm quite a clean like like to
be a clean person when it comes to you know,
bodily functions and all that sort of thing. I'm very clean,
hand sanitizer things like this. So I only will say
that because what happened to me kind of mortified me

(34:11):
in the situation. So I had some friends over for
a Saturday night and we're sitting around the dinner table.
You know, it's nice, nice occasion, all very good, and
I took just a drink, just a drink of water.
And as I went to take the drink of water,
I needed to cough and I was in one of
those basis where you've got the water in your mouth,
you don't want to cough, but you know it couldn't
can't swallow.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
I couldn't swallow and I couldn't cough, and I was
just having a moment.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
And it all probably only happened in like a split second,
like an Olympic athlete, you know, from between first and second.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
But for me, it felt like ages, what do I do?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
And I tried to hold on and I tried to
suppress the cough without obviously splitting out the water, and
everything just came out through my mouth through my nose,
like a whole lot of stuff like well a snotting
mucus came from but just and where you think of it,
it's a nice dinner occasion. It's like my body just

(35:03):
like I don't know what it did.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
And you have a big mukasy dribbling miss yeah, but
not normally, but that's the case.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
And I'm just like in my hand, I caught it
and to me, like what is he doing? String it's
like and I was like, oh my god, I am
so sorry. And I had to go off to the bathroom.
I had to compose myself. I didn't want to come back.
My people were still there. I'm like, oh my god,
how to come back from this? Are you doing yourself
in the mirror together? I stayed there and people will

(35:28):
leave and then I want him to deal with that.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
Did you spray on any lot?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
No?

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Fortunately I did it, but I sprayed on my and
I don't know if it got some of got to
the table. We didn't got that because when I came
back and cleaned it up. When I came back, everyone like.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Kind of ignored it.

Speaker 3 (35:45):
I was sorry, God, sorry about that, And he's like,
I guess the one you want to say? And I
really put a depth there on the whole.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
No, definitely talking about you when you're on the toilet.
I was like, what just happened? Like, how did this happen?

Speaker 5 (35:57):
You inhale the water?

Speaker 4 (36:00):
It all just came out through my nose. So I
love it when you are in those situations, you do
assess your options. When you're alone lo in the barkt
what have we got here? I know, were you at
your house? Yeah? Fine house. You can burn down the house,
burn down the house. So there's an emergency, something bigger
than what you've done. Go to sleep at the below.
He fell asleep and they have to deal with this.
But it's worse.

Speaker 5 (36:21):
We did this weird snot everywhere, and then you went
to the room and fell asleep. You'd be like, is
he okay?

Speaker 1 (36:25):
He thought?

Speaker 4 (36:25):
I was mortified. That was just the most of one
of os as you walk out the front door and
never return.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
A farm but actually coming back and go, hey you guys, yeah, sorry,
but I don't know what happened there, and everyone's like, yeah,
no one you want to say so really?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, really destroyed the night the.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
An exciting few days, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
It's been a really incredible Obviously we're still waiting for
our first middle at the Olympics. But the great win
this morning from the New Zealand rugby sevens Waheni. They
have three to the semi finals as well. There's a
few things happening over the next twenty four hours will
hopefully bring us first.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Yeah. We're off to Patty Now with Courtney Tierty from
Sky Sport. Great to have you on again, Courtney.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Now, it's not just amazing athletes out there competing, there's
some amazing celebrities I've seen as well, Ariana Grande Tom
Cruise as well.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
They're all over the place. They are, they're here.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
It's quite amazing. Even our cameramen just yesterday bumped into
Snoop Dogg at the swimming Jason Kelsey was just behind
us last night for the seven. So they're all tuning
out and I think now everyone's just really keeping their
eyes open because usually it's head down, just you know,
trying to get through the crowds. But now we're all
looking like, is there anyone here?

Speaker 4 (37:34):
You're talking about Travis Kelsey's brother. Did you ask him
what he thought it was like watching American football without
the cushy pads?

Speaker 6 (37:41):
I didn't, but I will say they were very impressed,
and they actually couldn't believe there were no helmets.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
There were no pads.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
Mind you, they were watching out why he there too,
So they were very very impressed with what they were
seeing out there on the field.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
What did you what'd you camera man say to Snoop Dogg?

Speaker 6 (37:56):
He just whipped his camera and was like Snoop, Snoop,
and she was like, hey, he just sort of wandered
on through, you know, as Snoop.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
Does you mentioned how everyone's loving it. I'm watching Snoop
Dogg on his social media. The guy is dripping in
America merch. He's like a Trump supporter. If there's an
American flag something, Snoop Dogg is wearing it at the moment.
So the vibe there must be absolutely outstanding.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Oh it is, and I think everyone's on Snoop alert
as well. And when we saw him the other day,
he had like a big American flag but as a
scarf over his head and he was saying he was
channeling the Mona Lisa.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
And now you spent a bit of time inside the
athletes village. I saw it on your social media. Not
really incredible, Like you don't even think what's inside there,
things like a supermarket and a tourist shop and banks
with your bank tellers.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
Yeah, it has absolutely everything you can eat. I was like,
what if I just stay here, guys, and I can
do all the content from here. There's supermarkets, there's banks,
anything that you could ever think or want or need.
There's even Samsung store, so there's literally athletes just walking
in and getting phones. I feel like it must be
part of their deal where they can get free Samsung,
a free Samsung phone. So they just all walk in

(39:09):
there and just do as they please. And I'm just
standing there going, oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
I picked the wrong sport playing netball Samsung A regretting
sitting up that shop the bossom, Sam, how many sales
do you make it the village? I thought I thought
we were just give them them thousands of them.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
And like, what about the food, because we've heard that
there's Michelin Star Chiefs in the village.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Have you tried some of that?

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (39:34):
It was incredible.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
Every day there's a different Michelin Star chef, so you know,
there's no McDonald's in there this year. But the athletes
are absolutely treating themselves and they're trying. I think the
coaches are all worried, saying, please, look, let's just stay
away from that eat the team food in the team room.
But I mean, when you've put a different chef there
each day, everyone's going to try or what they're what
they're cooking up.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
So all the if you just look at the New
Zealand team, all of the athletes are there now and
they all they all hang for the next couple of weeks.

Speaker 6 (40:00):
Once you're you have finished, you do have to vacate
the village within a certain amount of times. So our
men's sevens will be leaving very soon, if not, some
have already left on their travels. So you stay obviously
while you're competing, and then you just have a little
bit of time before you.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Really have to get out.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
But I was thinking, no one else is coming in
to take your rooms, so yeah, I mean i'd try
and stay as I'll try and stay as long.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
As I could have a holiday. It's like salt in
the wound, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
You don't do very well.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
They're like out, get.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
Out, check out, check out times eleven o'clock. Obviously, you know,
amazing atmosphere athletes there, you're working.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
But I read is it true that no beers, no
beers for the supporters? Is that right in the stadiums
and stuff?

Speaker 6 (40:37):
Oh that's a good question. I actually don't know that one,
because I mean, we are very blessed, we're done right
by the field, and we don't get much of a
break at all. So I haven't ventured up.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
There was a TSVU that was a tis for you
to see if you've been drinking, go your job. I
read that you read at the games at at you
know all the events. You know that there's alcohol free beers,
but there's no actual beers. But I guess it's fair enough.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Yeah, how you mean to you have a good time?
One is well behaved, because I've seen footage two of
the whole city kind of on a lockdown or high
security alert. Is it impossible to get anywhere?

Speaker 1 (41:08):
It is?

Speaker 6 (41:09):
Probably every twenty meters there's about six police, and then
the next twenty meters there's probably six army. They all
have big machine guns. I don't know what kind of
guns they are, but they're all just standing there. And
I tell what if someone wanted to do a hot
man in a in a uniform TikTok, this is a
place to do it because they all just standing around
with their big gun.

Speaker 4 (41:29):

A bit of a sixers today.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
No, yeah, six some scandal going on right now. It
started with a I know what you're talking about. Started
with a riddle that I see it about three different
doctors say that Paul was their brother, yet Paul claims
he has now brothers.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Who's lying? And then John O, you came up with this.
Paul is not related to the three different doctors. Three
doctors a woman mate. They're sexist. They're all the sisters. Sisters.

Are you doing that thing when you're montage stuff together?
It never looks good when you're montage things together. One show, okay,

the mir of Paris and how the mayor had gone
for a swim in the water.

equal split between men and women.
