Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Gentleman Being podcast. Hey, that's us broad to you
by Hello Fresh the Experts and Tastes that kei. I
was on a contacty with Amanda. You know, we're going
around America and this is what we'd actually just got engaged,
but we went married. And I've been making these jokes
on the contact because we're going through a Vegas that
us we're gonna get married in Vegas, guys, with all
our new friends on the contact. He was like eh,
(00:21):
And so we went. We were meant to go to
that chapel. We're going somewhere else, and the bus stopped outside.
The guy who was in charge of the kentuck he
ran inside, came back out and he was like, hey,
guess what, guys, we've.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Got a bird of time. I've just gone inside. There's
a winning about to happen, but said you can come watch.
We're like, oh great.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
So we all get off the bus and Elvis comes
out sings in the chapel and we're like great, and
he's like, could Amanda and Ben come up?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And we're like what what us.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
He's like, come on up, and Amanda's looking at me
like you didn't organize. No, I did I had nothing
to do with that, and the fear in my eyes.
I was like, what the hell had he started doing
the ceremony. I'm like, is this is this our winning
And then he obviously noticed that I was looking very
fearful when he whispered to me, this is not a
real wedding. We just picked two people at random. But
obviously that really stitched you up here. I was like,
(01:06):
oh okay, and after that I relaxed. It's like hound
Dog with Alvis.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
To see the fear in another man's eyes.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So we had a fake wedding and then Vegas at
the chapel.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I've been so worried about offending people, you won't even
stop them from marrying him.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I guess I should say hound dog. I guess man, like,
what have you organized?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
But married?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
A gorgeous place.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
The heads that John and Ben podcast, so we used
today a.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Lot of car content. I feel like I'm bringing to
the show this week just waiting for someone who you know,
I forget. Well, this is why I probably could never
reset my driver's license. What's the maneuver when you're you're
kind of blocking the road, You're across both lanes, but
you're turning and you're trying to turn in a different.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Is it a three pointer? I want to say three
point two.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, like you're trying to turn around from one side
of the road to the other. Is that what you saying?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, I was waiting for someone to execute a three
point turn. Now this is this is not your sweet spot?
Is it making maneuvers?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And for it making people are waiting the pressure parking
outside of parallel parking, don't.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Don't, don't he'll he'll park ten k's away rather than
parallel park in front of people.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean, maybe they could be an Olympic sport
parallel parking in.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Front of the stadium, a great parallel parker. First time,
everything i'd.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Been a pressure would get to me on that one,
sixty four thousand people watching your parallel park. But then
I watched this poor person to a three point turn,
and then I could feel that they could feel the pressure.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
And then they put their foot down but they were still.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
In reverse and went slamming into a brick wall so
much the walls shock, and I'm like, oh, I would
have thought me I would have been laughing in that situation.
But I felt sorry for them, just felt like really
missed up their boot, like crunched their boat right up.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And then.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
The embarrassment too as the drive. We've all made.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Mistakes driving and you just want to just just leave,
just get out of here. And I was like I
was pulled down the words are you okay? And they
didn't want to hear from me. They were like, please,
don't just pretend you didn't see what happened as they
were getting out of the car.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
They got out of the car and they're like, oh,
not today, not today.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There's no good day for that.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
No it it's never convenient Saturday maybe because you've got
a bit of Edmond time.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Have you got the weekends?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But I've done that.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
In the car parke downstairs, I reversed so fast into
someone else's car because I didn't even see it.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Someone was coming and they were waiting for me.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
So I was like, slammed it into reverse, put my
foot down and slammed into a car and the car
pike in front of a car load of people. So
I was like, I can't even do it, hurt and run.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
To see these people tomorrow. I respect to everyone who's
ran their cars onto brick walls.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Now, as a parent and you've got very young kids,
you probably don't get you know, you don't get the
credits from them. They don't, you know, as much as
when they get a bit older. They could stay thanking
you for stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And it's nice.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I mean, you do you do it for love, but
it is still nice to go, hey, thanks for dropping
me off here, Thanks for doing this thing.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
I can't wait for that because at the moment it's
a lot of take, take take.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, so it is a moment. That's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Thanks for changing my nappish you don't get there. I
thank you when you change mine, exactly. It's not a
light thing to do.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
So it is.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You know, as my kids get older, they they're very
very good about, you know, thanking me. But my daughter
sitting I bought a white baseball cap now a few
a few months ago, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What, and I keep saying to it. White looks cool,
but white risky.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
It's not going to stay white.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You know, if sunscreen runs off your forehead, it turns yellow,
turns that whiter and off like your pillow.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So this has been like a running kit thing with
us every time she wears it. Every times she's got
I'm like, risky, you're going to touch it with dirty hands.
You're gotta get things. It gets your sunscreen, things are
going to get into it. Yeah, whatever oils are coming
off your head, whatever the inside, it's gonna you know.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So I've been keeping a close eye on that. Heck,
she loves that the head again, Oh good luck with that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So that's what you wanted to walk out of the door.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, it looks cool, but I'm like, a little resky
wouldn't have gone there.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Seen of down. So she heads out with her for.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
What I noticed a few days ago as the inside
of her hat.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And like you say, John O was you know, sunscreens whatever,
So the inside was getting quite dirty.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Chicking the inside of the hat.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But it was out. It was out, and I had
a look at it vista, but it was it was out.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It was out like on the hallway, and I was like, oh,
the hat and I was like, oh, inside outside was
looking okay, but inside murky.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Like the bloody fringe river.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, exactly like the sin. So I was like, you
know what I'll be I'll give it a bit of
a clean. So I was like cleaned it, and I
was pretty happy. I got some stading and remover her
on it, soaked it, whatever. And by the time she
came home from school, I didn't see it, but I
was like, mate, it looks amazing. It looks good. And
I waited for her to maybe bring up the fact,
to be like, oh, the hat looks good. A few
(05:53):
days past. Nothing until the next time she's wearing it
and I was like.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Oh, the hat.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Have you noticed anything about the hat. She's like, yeah, yeah,
the inside of my Here we go. She's like, my
sweat must have cleaned.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It, That's what she said, because it was getting quite dirty.
But I looked at this morning. I was like, oh,
it's real clean.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
My sweet is like cleaning that was me And she's.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Like, no, you did. I cleaned it. And she won't.
She won't now give me credit for this. All I
want is a little bit of credit for no credit
at all.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, thankfully you host a radio show, so you can
give yourself credit.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
To a white audience, a little bit of credit thanks
to cleaning hat. But she's out of it. That as
sweat for some reason. Just clean the hair, do you
want to know? Heck hat?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Heck what's you put them in a dish washer?
Speaker 8 (06:34):
Really?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I saw it on TikTok and it works a treat.
I've put all my hats in the dishwasher.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
All the food bits and her white hat.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
No, surely the dish washers. You don't put it in
with the plate.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I'm just giving it a run.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But bag bowling. You put it on the tray bit
or you know, in the where it holds the plates
and things. You can put half a dozen hats in
the time. Put it in with dish washing powder. They
come out like brand new, still in the same shape.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
The one you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (07:00):

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Is that one of the things we're still doing?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Absolutely goods That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Such a long build up to that moment. Yeah, you
do you think about this one hundred meters sprints, We're like,
that's done and around about ten six seconds.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Yeah, even the Stevens game is really quick.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
All that build up, four years of just building to that,
all the trainings, all that we see them, you know
at the bright lights of the Olympics, but all those
bleaks are probably getting up early in the morning trainings,
all those things they've been doing for four years.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Have you had moments in your life where you're like
really building up and you're really excited and you're like
it's all over in ten seconds. Have you had two
quite off an ex Yeah, not so much celebrating for
me at the end of once a month.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, we're not trying to get a good time. Okay, okay,
a marathon, a peak performance athlete world record, there we go.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But me, you were overheard an interesting conversation you were
having in the office use today.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah, to me, the girls were we were saying, if
you could click your fingers and be Olympic level at
which sport?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Like, what would you choose?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So you're instantly good?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Cuddenly you can you know, no training required, because that's
the hard part.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And do you look like the athletes that compete in them?
Suddenly you go.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Suddenly you are that athlete. So of course, like all
the girls went for like who's got a really good body?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But I also thought, who does Let's rank them body,
shame them for sport from worst to best.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
But we landed on skateboarding because a like, you're really
like tone, but also you're having fun and then you've
got a cool trick as well that you can show everyone.
Because if you're doing like trampolining or like swimming, you
don't always have a poll on hand. Horse riding, you're
not gonna have a horse in the office, but you've
got a skateboard that you can show people try the
(13:15):
bloody horse to the office, but.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You can't show them on social media. Look at me.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
You know you're true, but true. I just instantly went
to like what I could show off with?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Okay, So you wanted to have the best body and
have the best body.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
As you know some of the other athletes, right, Yeah,
you wouldn't have to be I mean it could be if.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You want it to be.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, I have a question.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Am I doing this for millions and millions of dollars
or just the kudos? Because if I'm doing it, I'll
be Lebron James, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
The Olympics.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Now you can't pick up person.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
You had to pick up sport, all right, just like
Ron James Taylor.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Do you have our thoughts on this?
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (13:52):
A shooting?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I reckon, Okay, I don't think you're the last business
gun in their head, an Italian with a gun in
their head because it's through your jeans, you dat.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, that's just such a good skill to have in
general life. Ye, sport professionally.
Speaker 13 (14:08):
Anyone angers me, I'm just like, don't go too far.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, to move the gun.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
I'm pretty sure you've got a man in your family,
don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, you'd be fair about you being Oh but jeez.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a really, really tough one, isn't it. Like before
I was talking about the under fifty one boxing.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Under fifty one kilograms, He's found a weight class lighter
than you.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Get punched in the face Ragon sprinter.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
See all that were ten seconds? Your job, the days work,
You're like, it starts now.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And I'm done. You know the thing that's over quickly? Yeah,
trained in your life, that'd be great. How was work?
You're like, you're gonna work, You're done, I'm done some training.
I'm sure there.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Must be the early white guy in the lineup too,
this guy, yeah, skinny one.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Fella, the heads that johnaan ben Po.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You pitched a really interesting hypothetical situation.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Let's be honest. The best days are behind us. You've
had your food, and none of us are ever going
to make the Olympics. So all we can do is
hypothetically dream if we were there, we were all.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Joking yesterday in the office, if we could click our
fingers and be great at whatever spot we chose at
the Olympics.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
What would you choose and for what reason we all become.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Experts to what? I love that you're sitting on the
couch sheet and whatever. You know, you're like, didn't get
the dismount on that.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I didn't that thanks, guy was their chips at his belly.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
But I know exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
We were all experts and things. We have no point
in being experts, but this is the purposes of this.
We're suddenly good at something.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I feel like the most obtainable one, Like if you
weren't going to go, because I'd love to do pole
vaulting polevling, I wouldn't want.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
These, Oh choice, why because it looks bad.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Ass when you're doing it.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But the problem is the painful training that it takes
to probably get to that point. A lot of poles
going in bits that you know, you know when a
pole goes and bits you're like, oh, that's but it
goes bad, it goes bad. But I think the most
obtainable one would be the walking. You know how they
walk like they've got lost a coin down their underpants,
sort of swaying, sliding side to side. I feel like
that's one that you could do.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
You could walk they walk so fast though you're pretty
much running.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You've been training for your whole life since you were
two years old.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
You've been walking.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Okay, But this is what if instantly you're good at
something and you're in the Olympics, You've got the same
pha seat You're right, what would it be?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Andrew the hats fourth freight seven?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Good morning, clear?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Are you hi?
Speaker 14 (16:30):
I'm very well?
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
What are you doing right now?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Mate?
Speaker 9 (16:33):
I am sitting at a classroom at my school, Mount
Taberit Dana.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Very good Sporting School. Sonny Bill William's Mount Albert Grahmmer.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Wasn't he uh.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Coming Bill Syril?
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Was he one of those?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah, Sonny belt he was one of these?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah? All right. So if you're instantly suddenly you're an
Olympic athlete, what would you.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Like to be?
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I think I'd like to be a fourteen year old
skateboarding prodigy.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Sing to eleven year old too incredible?
Speaker 14 (17:04):
Right?
Speaker 10 (17:05):
Yeh?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Normal?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You know, you know, as a teacher, normally you're probably
going get off your skateboard. But now you know something,
you'd be amazing, wil't you actually?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Are you choosing it? Because you want to be fourteen
years old, or because you want the skills.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Yet well, you know, like I mean, I'm nearly fifty
and I tried skating in the eighties and I never
got past an Ollie and I just wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, the fifty year old high school teacher wanted to
become a fourteen year old skateboarding prodigy.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I love every part of this.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, I appreciate your cool. I have a great day.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
That's clear great text here.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
If I could be anything at the Olympics, I'd be
that weird, unusual blue chap from the opening ceremony with
the testacles.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Out the He's that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Now Darryl phoned us up Monday, wasn't it. We kind
of got into a weird tangent about the best karaoke song.
Daryl had a bit of a suggestion.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
I was thinking, sekula.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, there's only one word, isn't there.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Not yet?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Well, Ald time a Darrell late for the first Tequila Baby, but.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
As a Gary song, no not yet, No, Garrol's still there.
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
So that was a fun little moment.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And then you decided to extended the peer of you
by road testing.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, we wanted to see if it was the best
karaoke song ever. For some reason, we decided that you
were the best person to do this. I had no
say in this manner A nice Well, it seems like
you were the right person.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Sitting in a meeting in low when John's up there,
when hold on first porter callings.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Decide it is a good decide.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, we did, Megan, w John's up there.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
It was good and we're glad Johnno was up there
because we had about thirty people, and so we have
a stage area in the middle of work. There's a
whole lot of other businesses here. There were people not
from our work as well. We said, come down, there's
going to be a great carrier performance. They were all
there waiting. They had no idea what was about to happen.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
It was a cold, hostile environment, the ten am Tuesday
work crowd with zero alcohol. Taylor Swift would have struggled
out there on a Tuesday morning, probably right, No, probably not.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But yeah, so I was on stage. You were often
you didn't want to be associated with it. We could
watch through not in the same room, right, Megan, We're
in the next room. We can watch through the window.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Glass window.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, packed house, thirty plus people, all you could tell
wanting to clear emails, head to meetings, go to appointments,
and I just had to stand up there for it
felt like twelve years.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Music started.
Speaker 14 (19:41):
Oh god, how long is this?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The instrumental goes off for so long?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Is so it was the beginning?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, okay. It was asked, just watch do you say?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
God?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
It's awkward?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It was? Just awkward? Do you know what you're watching?
The Oh god, this is all good?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
You know, you watch your friend make a fall of
themselves and you just want to save them.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah, but we didn't.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
The opposite. You just keep filming.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, so you're up there, tequila, very long instrumental, but
we're building up to the big lyrical part, the.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Tequila part, and now it goes back to the instrumental.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
And that we were actually fell it. We followed through
the entire song.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, well, so would you do it again? Like if
you went to karaoke? Because I know, Megan, you're a
good singer, but John and myself we're not. We're not
great singers.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Would you do it again?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Because it does seem like a fun song to do,
because there's not much singing, but then also quite awkward.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I felt we didn't rod test it in the correct environment.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You want to do it again, Well, there we go. Tequila.
Is it the best karaoke song? E?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Well you been, queen John, Yeah, if you've got a
lot of tequila pumping through your veins, it's the ideal song.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
The hits that John wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Came back from appointment a couple of days ago and
you explained what you did. Now tell everyone right.
Speaker 13 (21:14):
So I was due for my routine hair appointment. I
go every three months because I am not a natural blonde,
but I'm trying to be blonde, so you know, the
roots need to get done.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
Looks great.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
And my beautiful hairdresser, Kimberly at Old that just give
her a shout out because she's amazing. She listens to
the show. She took me to the basin to wash
my hair. And I don't know if you guys, espcially, I'm.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Sitting here quietly trying to google spice skills or kick
it to me.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Give us some jobs, give us some jobs.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Dollars so you don't know. Here on the side, so
you could get shampoo.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Have you ever had of like we should get you one.
There we go, we talk about Larry. After the show.
We're going to take you get your believe.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I'm sure here washing, I'm just sitting here.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
Still lather.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
If there's nothing, we'll find out. We'll do that in
the next couple of days. All right, all right, keep working.
Speaker 13 (22:19):
When you go to the basin Johno to get your
hair washed, they shampoo, condition put a tona, and then
they do like a massage bit.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
They massage your head.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
It's not an experienced this because I have no heir, nothing.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
You're missing out. That is the best part.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It is.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
But this is where my dilemma comes in. So I
don't know whether to shut my eyes or keep them
open during the massage part of the hair wash because
it's like, she's not a massuse, so I shouldn't really
even be enjoying this.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
So you do it.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
They're doing it for your enjoyment, right, Well, they wait
for the conditioner and the tona to work.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Part enjoyment part. Also they have to get rid.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Of some of this stuff, yes, the dirt especially. Yeah,
So you think with eyes closed it looks like you're
enjoying it. You're right.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Made a compliment to them that you're enjoying it, but like, like,
I agree.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Listen to be fear.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
All of my favorite moments in life, the moments I've
enjoyed the most. If my eyes are being closed, kind
of guy, eyes closed one of her favorite moments. Do
you think being closed?
Speaker 5 (23:27):
But the alternative is you're steering them dead in the eyes.
Speaker 14 (23:30):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's weird. That's weird for me. You're looking straight up there.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Well, I'm not like gasping at her.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
I'm keeping my eyes open and looking straight ahead, which
is what I did for this whole time. But I
was like one day, if she's looking at me, going,
why is her eyes open?
Speaker 7 (23:44):
You know, is she enjoying this? She looks like she's
in pain.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Because never would make I'm not asking. I don't know
where the protocol is.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
So you believe that if your eyes shut, it looks
like you're fantasizing. Yeah, I'm like over this head.
Speaker 13 (24:09):
Message and I'm doing it way too much. And she'd
be like, Okay, calm down, Like you're like keeping your eyes.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Just keep it proficially.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
It does always weird me out when people have a
mouthful of food and they shut their eyes and like, yes,
exactly like this, you know you.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Can do that? Eyes open? It does it does change
the tone of the environment.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I agree, Yeah, okay, well let's find out the hats
four four eight seven. So we want to know in
the situation maybe you are a huge dresser as well,
maybe you what do you what do you.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Prefer someone staring at you creepy like or shutting their
eyes like they're enjoying it.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
The heads that John wan Ben podcast on the.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Phone's eyes open or shut? When you go to the
hair dresser and you're getting your hair washed, what happens
do you?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Will you go to where did you get your blondes done?
Was it proficionally or what?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Was a friend of mine did that? So she sort
of she would wash it, but I brought my head
face first into a bus.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Put it over that he wasn't getting a here. It
was a different situation.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
That was like head first in the bar. That was
purely just to rinse and stuff out. That wasn't our life.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
There was like a mafia drowning.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
She wasn't a actually wouldn't have know none of my
eyes were closed or that would you pull your.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Head up and tell us where the money is.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Oh'll never tell you that's that's what happened then, Okay
that was yeah, yes, so that was that situation as well,
but completely different.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Eyes open, ice shut.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
We'll get producer Taylor and because she's the one who's
brought us to the show. This morning came from an
appointment hairdresser shampooing the head. She thinks it's weird if
you shut your eyes. Let's get Janina on.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Hi, great to have you on. Janine representing the industry
this morning, the hair dressing industry. Yes, what's your thoughts
on this? Eyes open, ice shut. As you're looking over
someone's face and you're messaging their head, eyes.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Shut, it's really really creepy when the client's eyes are open.
As a headdresser, you feel rushed because it makes you
feel like you're not doing a good enough message and
the client's not enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Okay, so one the ice shut, Yeah, shut, but.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
Don't vocalize anything because when you start going then that's
even more creepy.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Have people Have people started going yes? Shut?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Put too much pressure on Janine and a massage?
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Yes with your eyes are doing your job right?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Feel rushed?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Rushed.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
You don't even feel rushed.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
Is this for the whole duration those shampoo, condition and
massage bit or just the massage.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Bit, just the message?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But okay, there you go.
Speaker 13 (26:50):
See there's a liphole here.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
I must put a check a towel over the face.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And you don't to look at asking. I gotta work.
It wouldn't matter what it. Yeah, you're right owning money.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
What did you fall asleep and start snoring? That may
or may not have happened to me?
Speaker 10 (27:04):
Have you the message head clients that have fallen asleep?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Is it a compliment though?
Speaker 10 (27:12):
Yeah, it is a compliment.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, unless you're telling a riveting story, then you've lost it,
do you know? I? You know those more message places
and you chuck your head in that weird face hole
on the table, and you can't help but think how
many faces have been in this face hole. I fell
asleep during one and I woke up, Jeanine, and there
was a bungee cord of saliva dangling down to the
(27:34):
floor at the bottom, a lake of my saliva. I
don't know how long I've been asleep for, and I
was trying to go to suck it, to suck the
cord back up.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
You should be.
Speaker 13 (27:45):
Banned from ever leaving your house, both honestly.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Ribbling at the mass. Sorry Jeanne, you didn't need to
be there for that.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Jeanine, You're don't have a wonderful day messaging people's here's Janine,
you too, Thank you by they we're going on the
Listen to Me, Fair to you, Taylor. It's split fifty
to fifty on the text for for eighty seven. A
lot of people saying eyes open, I'm normally gossiping.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Can't do that. Shut eyes open. It makes it weird
if there's shuts of people agree with you.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You go the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I feel like there's someone in this building that I
need to apologize to, but I don't know who it is.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
So I'll just do it on the radio and hopefully
it gets my apology.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
I am really awkward when I talk to new people, strangers, like,
I get really caught up and I get flustered, and
I often don't know what to say. But there was
a guy who was walking through the same door as me, so.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
I was like, I'm going to do like reverse chivalry.
I'm going to hold the door open. For him.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
So the big heavy door, I held it open for
him and he was grateful. He said thank you. And
as the skuy walked through, I was like all flustered
because I was like, I did a good thing, and
I get it all in my head about it, and
I went to say I often say oh, you're okay
or like not a problem.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
I ended up saying to the guy, you're a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And I had a moment where I was like doing
it to talk through the conversation.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
You're over the door, he says what he said cute,
and you say you're a problem, and I was like,
oh god, I have the door.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Is that all the direction?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
I'm just thinking thinking it's like when you say like
great and good and it's like good.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
I was gonna say you're okay, like you're okay or
like not a problem, but I said you're a problem
and you kind of walked off, and I was like,
I just told a guy in our building that he's
a problem.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
He's probably handing in his resignation. Now's a problematic. He's
like one of people know about me. Oh geez, you know,
I know.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
And I just I kind of was like, did I
say that? I had that moment.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
I was like, do I stop him? And do I
awkwardly explain that he just kind of walked off, and
then I was like, maybe he didn't hear me.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You have those moments so often when you're an autopilot,
I find as well. You know, sometimes you know if
someone's like, yeah, taxis to the airport they have they
have a good flight, You're like you do and then
you walk out You're.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Like, what did I like hip?
Speaker 7 (30:20):
And you're like, I'm good things.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
You're like, I had an interesting moment, who was it?
Last week?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Where I bumped into a gentleman in the street and
he decided to go sort of post alone tattoos on
the face and everything they've done done the full commitments
to tattoos. And he came up to me and he said, oh,
you know, we used to listen to it to you
guys in prison, right, love your work? And then I responded, no,
(30:50):
I love your work. I don't know what work, what
his line of work was, and how it landed him
in prison, but you I'm sure he did it to
the best of his but you.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Don't know what to I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
That situation of your work, wasn't it quite?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Ye don't know what the work was. No, maybe next
time find out what the work is and then and
then clarify it.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Yeah, but it does.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
And a lot of the other one too is when
you ask someone, Oh, you say hello to someone, they
say hello, and you respond you volley backer, good thanks immediately.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Good things. Hasn't been nuice.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
No, no one cares how you're doing. And that's how
automatic that responses, and how need York it is, isn't
it as soon as you say good.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Things exactly, that guy can hear me.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I'm sorry, you're not a problems that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I really appreciate it. I have an issue with the well.
I didn't have an issue with the paid forward system
until it was brought to my attention. So you know
some businesses now and the example I'll be using is
from a petrol station. You go to the counter and
if you're paying perpetual, you're asked.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Would you like to pay it forward?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
You know?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Being that so, I don't want a man explaining paying
it forward?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But can your man explaining the picture station scenario?
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Because the picture oh you've.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Never had a picture station a different petrol station.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I don't want to name and Shane the petrol station. Well,
they go, oh, would you like to pay it forward for,
you know, another customer?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
And I was like, I've never had that. I've never
been asked that in the picture.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Station, kind of like, no, I've paid it enough.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
For my own.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Can I pay it now just for myself instead of
paying it for But yeah, I've obviously been the narcissistic
radio now. So I looked around to see who was
watching this in direction, and there was someone behind me,
and I said, okay, yeah, I'll pay it forward ten
dollars choos Okay, he gets choose dog ten dollars that
might you know, given picture prices, get them off the
full course ten dollars with a picture. And then as
(32:45):
I've paid it forward, genuine behind me, he's.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Got an issue with it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
He's like, was he a bit?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
What does he have to pay it forward? To the
guy behind the counter.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
He's that you are a multi national, multi billion dollar
pictrol station. Why don't you just pay it forward. We're
already paying you. Why don't you pay it forward for
the customer? Like we'll give us a discount on patrol.
This was he also like the type of guy who
had a problem with government mandated lockdowns, like one of those.
But I was like, damn right, brother, and I was like,
can we undo that trail? And couldn't under the transaction,
(33:15):
I've already done it.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
That's really interesting because like, what's to say the petrol
station don't tell the next person they paid it Ford.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I was just about to say, I've never walked up
to account. I was gonna do that before Oh numb
nuts paid it forward for you. It will take ten
bucks off your pictures happen.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It's just giving.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You're giving him them avice that will tip the little
bonus to the petrol station potentially.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Our cafe that we used to have, we had a
thing called suspended coffees, so people if they wanted to,
we never asked them, but if they wanted to, they
could buy a suspended coffee and it got stuck up
on the wall.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
And then if anyone in our.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
Little coffee community ever had like a terrible day or
you know, like something that maybe they dropped their coffee.
Anything bad happens in anyone's life, then they get gifted
a suspended coffee from someone.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Who's bought one.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
It's a lovely but it.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Sits up there so everyone can see. That's how many
there are, and people like opt into it.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
We never asked, but how many.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
People would do it? Just a real thanks for the coffee.
That's good.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I don't know who this guy was, so I appreciate
him going into.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Bat for me.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
But then they still pay the ten bucks.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Well I'd already done it.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
And then he raised the issue after the transaction and
you can tell the guy behind the counters like, oh, bra,
I don't get paid enough to make up an answer
for your mate.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
That's just the pay it for. Has anyone actually received
received the pay it forward? A lot of people would
have paid it forward?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Is it a scam from the industry?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
It is the hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Credible watching the Black Fan sevens when New Zealand's first
medal and it was a gold against Canada.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
And cheriknare is in the stadium from the New Zealand
Herald Bong.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
From Paris and a great result for New Zealand. You
were at the game as our rugby sevens. He need
one gold?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I know?
Speaker 8 (35:00):
Oh how good was that? I am still here at
Star Defrance.
Speaker 11 (35:03):
The crowd was absolutely electric and just such an incredible
result for our women's side, back to back Olympic camps
and our first meddle in a gold Like what a
way to start.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
You feel like it was always destined, but then having.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
That pressure, Yeah, I think we all had really high
hopes for the blackf and sevens. They're always so dominant
and that you know, they looked in really good form today,
but you're right, you know, anything can happen. And after
the first half of the game, when Canada were a
little bit ahead, were like, oh okay, you know, and
we've got a yellow card and I was like, what's
gonna happen here? But amazing, Like I think I looked
(35:40):
around at some of the other New Zealand media and
they were all so calm. They're like, nah, nah, they've
got this, They've got this. I was probably a bit
more nervous than them, but amazing to see them on.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
It the stadium. We're having a lock on the TV
screens over here. It just seems it seems enormous. I mean,
how many people are in the stadium.
Speaker 11 (35:56):
I believe they were around sixty five thousand fans here
for the final. It is a massive stadium, and you
can imagine just the noise of the crowd when you
know everyone's cheering on that final whistle.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
We're watching vision of them now heading up onto the podium.
Are you watching this as we're speaking.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
I'm kind I can kind of see it. I'm just
around the back.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
I was trying to get to a bit more of
a quiet space for you guys, because when I say
the crowds out, it is very very loud.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
I feel like you should probably be there watching this
right now.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Away from Joe.
Speaker 8 (36:25):
I can kind of like peek it a little bit
through one of the doors.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
You should get out of the toilet watch this historic moment.
Mean you're like, oh, jeez, you've spoken to any of
the Black Ferns.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
I haven't yet. We'll be speaking to them very very soon.
Speaker 11 (36:42):
But I did speak to Sarah Henney after the semi
final when she was already tears then and just how
special this was and what it meant to her. So
I can only imagine her and the team now with
the gold met around the next im just going to
be such an emotional and incredible evening for them.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
So the hits the jonaan Ben podcast in Paris.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Shriek and air from the New Zealand Herald. Bonjour from
Paris and a great result for New Zealand. You were
at the game as our rugby seven's the whini one
gold I know.
Speaker 8 (41:18):
How good was that?
Speaker 11 (41:20):
The crowd was absolutely electric and just such an incredible
result for our woman's side, back to back Olympic champs
and our first meddle in a gold.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Like, what a way to start the stadium. We're having
a lock on the TV screens over here. It just
seems it seems enormous. I mean, how many people are
in the stadium.
Speaker 11 (41:37):
I believe there were around sixty five thousand fans here
for the final. It is a massive stadium, and you
can imagine just the noise of the crowd when you
know everyone's cheering on that final whistle.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
We're watching vision of them now heading up onto the podium.
Are you watching this as we're speaking.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
I'm kind I can kind of see it. I'm just
around the back.
Speaker 11 (41:57):
I was trying to get to a bit more of
a quiet space for you guys, because when I say
the crowd has pout, it is very, very loud.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I feel like you should probably been there watching this
right now.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
We're taking it away from your job.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
See.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
I can kind of like peek it a little bit
through one of the doors.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
You should get out of a toilet. Yeah, everyone watched
this historic moment.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
John and Meghan.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
You're like, oh, geez, I'm so a lot of amazing
athletic performances over there at the Olympics, but from yourself
as well, I mean, how much sleep are you running on?
You were messaging me yesterday about this radio interview, and
then I was like, what, hang on, what time is
it for you?
Speaker 11 (42:29):
Yeah, you don't get a lot of sleep when you're
covering the Olympics, but it's one of those things that
you know, you know what you're signing up for, but
it's such an incredible event to cover, so it kind
of balances itself out.
Speaker 8 (42:38):
But I was definitely a little bit relieved this morning
when I woke up.
Speaker 11 (42:41):
My alarm went off at about six am, and I
was getting ready for the triathlon, and then I found
out it was postponed and I was like, oh, fantastic,
So I rolled over for another couple hours.
Speaker 8 (42:50):
So sort of a little bit relieved for that.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Well, let's talk about the triathon, because obviously the water
conditions and the River Seine.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
There was rain in.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
The weekend and that meant the things great words like
E coli are being bandied around at the moment. They're
not sure if they're going to swim in it. You
went down yesterday and took some water out of it
to have a look at it.
Speaker 8 (43:10):
I did.
Speaker 11 (43:11):
I went to investigate myself for what the sin was
looking like when I put it in a bottle.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
It definitely didn't look as a kid as.
Speaker 11 (43:17):
It does sort of on the surface because it was
quite brown and all of a sudiment.
Speaker 8 (43:21):
And I saw a shoe floating down. It's definitely not
It's definitely not in the neck.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (43:28):
I mean last night the triathlon was still set to go.
Speaker 11 (43:31):
Organizer as a really optimistic and I was like, Okay,
we'll see been sure enough this morning. Nope, water's quality
not up to standard. Postponed till tomorrow. And the interesting
thing is on August second is the last date they
can postpone it to and if the sins still not
up to stand it, it changes. It's going to become
a I think it starts with a run, bike and
then a run, So they had to ditch the swimming all.
Speaker 5 (43:53):
Really, now, what stringent testing did you do on the water?
Was it the taste test?
Speaker 10 (43:59):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Though?
Speaker 11 (44:00):
When I put that priddle away, I had to make
real conscious note to put like, chuck the water out
because I had a moment where I thought I'm going
to reach for this and you'll drink it.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
We should, we should bring it back here and we'll
use it in the radio stuff doing Russian Russian really.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
The name.
Speaker 8 (44:19):
I do feel for the triathletes.
Speaker 11 (44:21):
I think, even if they do manage to do the swim,
we're saying that the pollution levels were too high today,
So if they're good tomorrow, they must just be good enough,
which means they're still not ideal.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
So what's going to change over twenty four hours that's
going to make it like much.
Speaker 7 (44:36):
Better the swimming?
Speaker 5 (44:36):
You know, it feels like the same pollution is going
to be in there.
Speaker 7 (44:40):
Have we seen the mire since she went for a
swim in there?
Speaker 4 (44:43):
You know what?
Speaker 8 (44:44):
I haven't or heard anything from this. Apparently the levels
weren't actually very good.
Speaker 11 (44:50):
Apparently on the day that she's from there went back
and they're like, oh, actually we may have not measured
that correctly.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Maybe they need to take the approach that moment MANI
pride does. When she saw me head above you know
how mother's swim head above water.
Speaker 8 (45:01):
Yeah, I saw an athlete on TikTok.
Speaker 11 (45:03):
I think she's from the US. She was making a
joke about she had like some duct tape that she
taped over her mouth.
Speaker 8 (45:09):
She was like preparing for the triathlon.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Do you know the week books Kikids Triathlon. When we
went to that they couldn't do the swim park because
all the sewer sewards had gone into the ocean. So
it's happening all over the world, ruined, ruined water.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Well done us, So what next for you? Obviously it's
getting late in the night there. Things are wrapping up
for the for today. But what's happening over the next
couple of days.
Speaker 8 (45:32):
Yeah, things wrapping up here.
Speaker 11 (45:33):
I've still got a few hours ahead of meet with
all the aftermath of this incredible gold midle. But with
tomorrow's action tonight New Zealand time. Hopefully that means triathlon
goes ahead. There's also some rowing and some sailing, and
then if you're looking ahead to the next few days,
later on in the week, we're going to start seeing
the athletics, which I know a lot of people are
really excited about.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
Well, sure, have you spoken to any of the black Ferns.
Speaker 8 (45:57):
I haven't yet.
Speaker 11 (45:58):
I We'll be speaking to them very very soon. But
I did speak to Sarah Hedney after the semi final
when she was already tears then and just how special
this was and what it meant to her. So I
can only imagine her and the team now with the
gold medal around the next just going to be such
an emotional and incredible evening for them.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Well, they haven't got their medals yet, so we'll let
you out of the toilet to go and watch us
and good luck.
Speaker 8 (46:20):
Awesome, Thanks you
This Gentleman Being podcast. Hey, that's us broad to you
by Hello Fresh the Experts and Tastes that kei. I
was on a contacty with Amanda. You know, we're going
around America and this is what we'd actually just got engaged,
but we went married. And I've been making these jokes
on the contact because we're going through a Vegas that
us we're gonna get married in Vegas, guys, with all
our new friends on the contact. He was like eh,
(00:21):
And so we went. We were meant to go to
that chapel. We're going somewhere else, and the bus stopped outside.
The guy who was in charge of the kentuck he
ran inside, came back out and he was like, hey,
guess what, guys, we've.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Got a bird of time. I've just gone inside. There's
a winning about to happen, but said you can come watch.
We're like, oh great.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
So we all get off the bus and Elvis comes
out sings in the chapel and we're like great, and
he's like, could Amanda and Ben come up?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
And we're like what what us.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
He's like, come on up, and Amanda's looking at me
like you didn't organize. No, I did I had nothing
to do with that, and the fear in my eyes.
I was like, what the hell had he started doing
the ceremony. I'm like, is this is this our winning
And then he obviously noticed that I was looking very
fearful when he whispered to me, this is not a
real wedding. We just picked two people at random. But
obviously that really stitched you up here. I was like,
(01:06):
oh okay, and after that I relaxed. It's like hound
Dog with Alvis.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
To see the fear in another man's eyes.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So we had a fake wedding and then Vegas at
the chapel.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I've been so worried about offending people, you won't even
stop them from marrying him.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I guess I should say hound dog. I guess man, like,
what have you organized?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
But married?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
A gorgeous place.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
The heads that John and Ben podcast, so we used
today a.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Lot of car content. I feel like I'm bringing to
the show this week just waiting for someone who you know,
I forget. Well, this is why I probably could never
reset my driver's license. What's the maneuver when you're you're
kind of blocking the road, You're across both lanes, but
you're turning and you're trying to turn in a different.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Is it a three pointer? I want to say three
point two.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, like you're trying to turn around from one side
of the road to the other. Is that what you saying?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, I was waiting for someone to execute a three
point turn. Now this is this is not your sweet spot?
Is it making maneuvers?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And for it making people are waiting the pressure parking
outside of parallel parking, don't.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Don't, don't he'll he'll park ten k's away rather than
parallel park in front of people.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, I mean, maybe they could be an Olympic sport
parallel parking in.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Front of the stadium, a great parallel parker. First time,
everything i'd.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Been a pressure would get to me on that one,
sixty four thousand people watching your parallel park. But then
I watched this poor person to a three point turn,
and then I could feel that they could feel the pressure.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
And then they put their foot down but they were still.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
In reverse and went slamming into a brick wall so
much the walls shock, and I'm like, oh, I would
have thought me I would have been laughing in that situation.
But I felt sorry for them, just felt like really
missed up their boot, like crunched their boat right up.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And then.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
The embarrassment too as the drive. We've all made.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Mistakes driving and you just want to just just leave,
just get out of here. And I was like I
was pulled down the words are you okay? And they
didn't want to hear from me. They were like, please,
don't just pretend you didn't see what happened as they
were getting out of the car.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
They got out of the car and they're like, oh,
not today, not today.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
There's no good day for that.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
No it it's never convenient Saturday maybe because you've got
a bit of Edmond time.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Have you got the weekends?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But I've done that.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
In the car parke downstairs, I reversed so fast into
someone else's car because I didn't even see it.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Someone was coming and they were waiting for me.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
So I was like, slammed it into reverse, put my
foot down and slammed into a car and the car
pike in front of a car load of people. So
I was like, I can't even do it, hurt and run.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
To see these people tomorrow. I respect to everyone who's
ran their cars onto brick walls.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Now, as a parent and you've got very young kids,
you probably don't get you know, you don't get the
credits from them. They don't, you know, as much as
when they get a bit older. They could stay thanking
you for stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And it's nice.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I mean, you do you do it for love, but
it is still nice to go, hey, thanks for dropping
me off here, Thanks for doing this thing.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
I can't wait for that because at the moment it's
a lot of take, take take.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, so it is a moment. That's one of those things.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Thanks for changing my nappish you don't get there. I
thank you when you change mine, exactly. It's not a
light thing to do.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
So it is.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You know, as my kids get older, they they're very
very good about, you know, thanking me. But my daughter
sitting I bought a white baseball cap now a few
a few months ago, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What, and I keep saying to it. White looks cool,
but white risky.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
It's not going to stay white.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
You know, if sunscreen runs off your forehead, it turns yellow,
turns that whiter and off like your pillow.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So this has been like a running kit thing with
us every time she wears it. Every times she's got
I'm like, risky, you're going to touch it with dirty hands.
You're gotta get things. It gets your sunscreen, things are
going to get into it. Yeah, whatever oils are coming
off your head, whatever the inside, it's gonna you know.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So I've been keeping a close eye on that. Heck,
she loves that the head again, Oh good luck with that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
So that's what you wanted to walk out of the door.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, it looks cool, but I'm like, a little resky
wouldn't have gone there.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Seen of down. So she heads out with her for.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
What I noticed a few days ago as the inside
of her hat.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
And like you say, John O was you know, sunscreens whatever,
So the inside was getting quite dirty.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
Chicking the inside of the hat.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But it was out. It was out, and I had
a look at it vista, but it was it was out.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It was out like on the hallway, and I was like, oh,
the hat and I was like, oh, inside outside was
looking okay, but inside murky.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Like the bloody fringe river.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, exactly like the sin. So I was like, you
know what I'll be I'll give it a bit of
a clean. So I was like cleaned it, and I
was pretty happy. I got some stading and remover her
on it, soaked it, whatever. And by the time she
came home from school, I didn't see it, but I
was like, mate, it looks amazing. It looks good. And
I waited for her to maybe bring up the fact,
to be like, oh, the hat looks good. A few
(05:53):
days past. Nothing until the next time she's wearing it
and I was like.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Oh, the hat.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Have you noticed anything about the hat. She's like, yeah, yeah,
the inside of my Here we go. She's like, my
sweat must have cleaned.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It, That's what she said, because it was getting quite dirty.
But I looked at this morning. I was like, oh,
it's real clean.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
My sweet is like cleaning that was me And she's.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Like, no, you did. I cleaned it. And she won't.
She won't now give me credit for this. All I
want is a little bit of credit for no credit
at all.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Well, thankfully you host a radio show, so you can
give yourself credit.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
To a white audience, a little bit of credit thanks
to cleaning hat. But she's out of it. That as
sweat for some reason. Just clean the hair, do you
want to know? Heck hat?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Heck what's you put them in a dish washer?
Speaker 8 (06:34):
Really?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I saw it on TikTok and it works a treat.
I've put all my hats in the dishwasher.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
All the food bits and her white hat.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
No, surely the dish washers. You don't put it in
with the plate.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I'm just giving it a run.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
But bag bowling. You put it on the tray bit
or you know, in the where it holds the plates
and things. You can put half a dozen hats in
the time. Put it in with dish washing powder. They
come out like brand new, still in the same shape.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
The one you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, three times.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
In the dish I do it tonight. Okay, one thing

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, well congratulations And is it true they say you
always must blow on the pie?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Is that one of the things we're still doing?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Absolutely goods That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Such a long build up to that moment. Yeah, you
do you think about this one hundred meters sprints, We're like,
that's done and around about ten six seconds.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
Yeah, even the Stevens game is really quick.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
All that build up, four years of just building to that,
all the trainings, all that we see them, you know
at the bright lights of the Olympics, but all those
bleaks are probably getting up early in the morning trainings,
all those things they've been doing for four years.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Have you had moments in your life where you're like
really building up and you're really excited and you're like
it's all over in ten seconds. Have you had two
quite off an ex Yeah, not so much celebrating for
me at the end of once a month.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, we're not trying to get a good time. Okay, okay,
a marathon, a peak performance athlete world record, there we go.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But me, you were overheard an interesting conversation you were
having in the office use today.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah, to me, the girls were we were saying, if
you could click your fingers and be Olympic level at
which sport?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Like, what would you choose?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So you're instantly good?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Cuddenly you can you know, no training required, because that's
the hard part.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
And do you look like the athletes that compete in them?
Suddenly you go.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Suddenly you are that athlete. So of course, like all
the girls went for like who's got a really good body?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
But I also thought, who does Let's rank them body,
shame them for sport from worst to best.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
But we landed on skateboarding because a like, you're really
like tone, but also you're having fun and then you've
got a cool trick as well that you can show everyone.
Because if you're doing like trampolining or like swimming, you
don't always have a poll on hand. Horse riding, you're
not gonna have a horse in the office, but you've
got a skateboard that you can show people try the
(13:15):
bloody horse to the office, but.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You can't show them on social media. Look at me.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
You know you're true, but true. I just instantly went
to like what I could show off with?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Okay, So you wanted to have the best body and
have the best body.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
As you know some of the other athletes, right, Yeah,
you wouldn't have to be I mean it could be if.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You want it to be.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, I have a question.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Am I doing this for millions and millions of dollars
or just the kudos? Because if I'm doing it, I'll
be Lebron James, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
The Olympics.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Now you can't pick up person.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
You had to pick up sport, all right, just like
Ron James Taylor.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Do you have our thoughts on this?
Speaker 8 (13:52):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (13:52):
A shooting?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I reckon, Okay, I don't think you're the last business
gun in their head, an Italian with a gun in
their head because it's through your jeans, you dat.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, that's just such a good skill to have in
general life. Ye, sport professionally.
Speaker 13 (14:08):
Anyone angers me, I'm just like, don't go too far.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, to move the gun.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
I'm pretty sure you've got a man in your family,
don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, you'd be fair about you being Oh but jeez.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a really, really tough one, isn't it. Like before
I was talking about the under fifty one boxing.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Under fifty one kilograms, He's found a weight class lighter
than you.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Get punched in the face Ragon sprinter.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
See all that were ten seconds? Your job, the days work,
You're like, it starts now.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And I'm done. You know the thing that's over quickly? Yeah,
trained in your life, that'd be great. How was work?
You're like, you're gonna work, You're done, I'm done some training.
I'm sure there.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Must be the early white guy in the lineup too,
this guy, yeah, skinny one.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Fella, the heads that johnaan ben Po.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You pitched a really interesting hypothetical situation.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Let's be honest. The best days are behind us. You've
had your food, and none of us are ever going
to make the Olympics. So all we can do is
hypothetically dream if we were there, we were all.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Joking yesterday in the office, if we could click our
fingers and be great at whatever spot we chose at
the Olympics.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
What would you choose and for what reason we all become.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Experts to what? I love that you're sitting on the
couch sheet and whatever. You know, you're like, didn't get
the dismount on that.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I didn't that thanks, guy was their chips at his belly.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
But I know exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
We were all experts and things. We have no point
in being experts, but this is the purposes of this.
We're suddenly good at something.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I feel like the most obtainable one, Like if you
weren't going to go, because I'd love to do pole
vaulting polevling, I wouldn't want.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
These, Oh choice, why because it looks bad.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Ass when you're doing it.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But the problem is the painful training that it takes
to probably get to that point. A lot of poles
going in bits that you know, you know when a
pole goes and bits you're like, oh, that's but it
goes bad, it goes bad. But I think the most
obtainable one would be the walking. You know how they
walk like they've got lost a coin down their underpants,
sort of swaying, sliding side to side. I feel like
that's one that you could do.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
You could walk they walk so fast though you're pretty
much running.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You've been training for your whole life since you were
two years old.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
You've been walking.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Okay, But this is what if instantly you're good at
something and you're in the Olympics, You've got the same
pha seat You're right, what would it be?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Andrew the hats fourth freight seven?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Good morning, clear?
Speaker 7 (16:28):
Are you hi?
Speaker 14 (16:30):
I'm very well?
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
What are you doing right now?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Mate?
Speaker 9 (16:33):
I am sitting at a classroom at my school, Mount
Taberit Dana.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Very good Sporting School. Sonny Bill William's Mount Albert Grahmmer.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Wasn't he uh.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Coming Bill Syril?
Speaker 10 (16:46):
Was he one of those?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yeah, Sonny belt he was one of these?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah? All right. So if you're instantly suddenly you're an
Olympic athlete, what would you.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Like to be?
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I think I'd like to be a fourteen year old
skateboarding prodigy.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Sing to eleven year old too incredible?
Speaker 14 (17:04):
Right?
Speaker 10 (17:05):
Yeh?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Normal?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You know, you know, as a teacher, normally you're probably
going get off your skateboard. But now you know something,
you'd be amazing, wil't you actually?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Are you choosing it? Because you want to be fourteen
years old, or because you want the skills.
Speaker 9 (17:18):
Yet well, you know, like I mean, I'm nearly fifty
and I tried skating in the eighties and I never
got past an Ollie and I just wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, the fifty year old high school teacher wanted to
become a fourteen year old skateboarding prodigy.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I love every part of this.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, I appreciate your cool. I have a great day.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
That's clear great text here.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
If I could be anything at the Olympics, I'd be
that weird, unusual blue chap from the opening ceremony with
the testacles.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Out the He's that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Now Darryl phoned us up Monday, wasn't it. We kind
of got into a weird tangent about the best karaoke song.
Daryl had a bit of a suggestion.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
I was thinking, sekula.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, there's only one word, isn't there.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Not yet?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Well, Ald time a Darrell late for the first Tequila Baby, but.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
As a Gary song, no not yet, No, Garrol's still there.
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
So that was a fun little moment.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And then you decided to extended the peer of you
by road testing.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, we wanted to see if it was the best
karaoke song ever. For some reason, we decided that you
were the best person to do this. I had no
say in this manner A nice Well, it seems like
you were the right person.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Sitting in a meeting in low when John's up there,
when hold on first porter callings.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Decide it is a good decide.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, we did, Megan, w John's up there.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
It was good and we're glad Johnno was up there
because we had about thirty people, and so we have
a stage area in the middle of work. There's a
whole lot of other businesses here. There were people not
from our work as well. We said, come down, there's
going to be a great carrier performance. They were all
there waiting. They had no idea what was about to happen.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
It was a cold, hostile environment, the ten am Tuesday
work crowd with zero alcohol. Taylor Swift would have struggled
out there on a Tuesday morning, probably right, No, probably not.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
But yeah, so I was on stage. You were often
you didn't want to be associated with it. We could
watch through not in the same room, right, Megan, We're
in the next room. We can watch through the window.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
Glass window.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, packed house, thirty plus people, all you could tell
wanting to clear emails, head to meetings, go to appointments,
and I just had to stand up there for it
felt like twelve years.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Music started.
Speaker 14 (19:41):
Oh god, how long is this?
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The instrumental goes off for so long?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Is so it was the beginning?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, okay. It was asked, just watch do you say?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
God?
Speaker 5 (19:55):
It's awkward?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
It was? Just awkward? Do you know what you're watching?
The Oh god, this is all good?
Speaker 7 (20:01):
You know, you watch your friend make a fall of
themselves and you just want to save them.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah, but we didn't.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
The opposite. You just keep filming.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah, so you're up there, tequila, very long instrumental, but
we're building up to the big lyrical part, the.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Tequila part, and now it goes back to the instrumental.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
And that we were actually fell it. We followed through
the entire song.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, well, so would you do it again? Like if
you went to karaoke? Because I know, Megan, you're a
good singer, but John and myself we're not. We're not
great singers.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Would you do it again?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Because it does seem like a fun song to do,
because there's not much singing, but then also quite awkward.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I felt we didn't rod test it in the correct environment.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You want to do it again, Well, there we go. Tequila.
Is it the best karaoke song? E?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Well you been, queen John, Yeah, if you've got a
lot of tequila pumping through your veins, it's the ideal song.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
The hits that John wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Came back from appointment a couple of days ago and
you explained what you did. Now tell everyone right.
Speaker 13 (21:14):
So I was due for my routine hair appointment. I
go every three months because I am not a natural blonde,
but I'm trying to be blonde, so you know, the
roots need to get done.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
Looks great.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
And my beautiful hairdresser, Kimberly at Old that just give
her a shout out because she's amazing. She listens to
the show. She took me to the basin to wash
my hair. And I don't know if you guys, espcially, I'm.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Sitting here quietly trying to google spice skills or kick
it to me.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Give us some jobs, give us some jobs.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Dollars so you don't know. Here on the side, so
you could get shampoo.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Have you ever had of like we should get you one.
There we go, we talk about Larry. After the show.
We're going to take you get your believe.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I'm sure here washing, I'm just sitting here.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
Still lather.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
If there's nothing, we'll find out. We'll do that in
the next couple of days. All right, all right, keep working.
Speaker 13 (22:19):
When you go to the basin Johno to get your
hair washed, they shampoo, condition put a tona, and then
they do like a massage bit.
Speaker 7 (22:27):
They massage your head.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
It's not an experienced this because I have no heir, nothing.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
You're missing out. That is the best part.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
It is.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
But this is where my dilemma comes in. So I
don't know whether to shut my eyes or keep them
open during the massage part of the hair wash because
it's like, she's not a massuse, so I shouldn't really
even be enjoying this.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
So you do it.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
They're doing it for your enjoyment, right, Well, they wait
for the conditioner and the tona to work.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Part enjoyment part. Also they have to get rid.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Of some of this stuff, yes, the dirt especially. Yeah,
So you think with eyes closed it looks like you're
enjoying it. You're right.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Made a compliment to them that you're enjoying it, but like, like,
I agree.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Listen to be fear.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
All of my favorite moments in life, the moments I've
enjoyed the most. If my eyes are being closed, kind
of guy, eyes closed one of her favorite moments. Do
you think being closed?
Speaker 5 (23:27):
But the alternative is you're steering them dead in the eyes.
Speaker 14 (23:30):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's weird. That's weird for me. You're looking straight up there.
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Well, I'm not like gasping at her.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
I'm keeping my eyes open and looking straight ahead, which
is what I did for this whole time. But I
was like one day, if she's looking at me, going,
why is her eyes open?
Speaker 7 (23:44):
You know, is she enjoying this? She looks like she's
in pain.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Because never would make I'm not asking. I don't know
where the protocol is.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
So you believe that if your eyes shut, it looks
like you're fantasizing. Yeah, I'm like over this head.
Speaker 13 (24:09):
Message and I'm doing it way too much. And she'd
be like, Okay, calm down, Like you're like keeping your eyes.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Just keep it proficially.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
It does always weird me out when people have a
mouthful of food and they shut their eyes and like, yes,
exactly like this, you know you.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Can do that? Eyes open? It does it does change
the tone of the environment.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I agree, Yeah, okay, well let's find out the hats
four four eight seven. So we want to know in
the situation maybe you are a huge dresser as well,
maybe you what do you what do you.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Prefer someone staring at you creepy like or shutting their
eyes like they're enjoying it.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
The heads that John wan Ben podcast on the.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Phone's eyes open or shut? When you go to the
hair dresser and you're getting your hair washed, what happens
do you?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Will you go to where did you get your blondes done?
Was it proficionally or what?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Was a friend of mine did that? So she sort
of she would wash it, but I brought my head
face first into a bus.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Put it over that he wasn't getting a here. It
was a different situation.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
That was like head first in the bar. That was
purely just to rinse and stuff out. That wasn't our life.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
There was like a mafia drowning.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
She wasn't a actually wouldn't have know none of my
eyes were closed or that would you pull your.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Head up and tell us where the money is.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Oh'll never tell you that's that's what happened then, Okay
that was yeah, yes, so that was that situation as well,
but completely different.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Eyes open, ice shut.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
We'll get producer Taylor and because she's the one who's
brought us to the show. This morning came from an
appointment hairdresser shampooing the head. She thinks it's weird if
you shut your eyes. Let's get Janina on.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Hi, great to have you on. Janine representing the industry
this morning, the hair dressing industry. Yes, what's your thoughts
on this? Eyes open, ice shut. As you're looking over
someone's face and you're messaging their head, eyes.
Speaker 10 (25:53):
Shut, it's really really creepy when the client's eyes are open.
As a headdresser, you feel rushed because it makes you
feel like you're not doing a good enough message and
the client's not enjoying it.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Okay, so one the ice shut, Yeah, shut, but.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
Don't vocalize anything because when you start going then that's
even more creepy.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Have people Have people started going yes? Shut?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Put too much pressure on Janine and a massage?
Speaker 7 (26:33):
Yes with your eyes are doing your job right?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
Feel rushed?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Rushed.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
You don't even feel rushed.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
Is this for the whole duration those shampoo, condition and
massage bit or just the massage.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Bit, just the message?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But okay, there you go.
Speaker 13 (26:50):
See there's a liphole here.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
I must put a check a towel over the face.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
And you don't to look at asking. I gotta work.
It wouldn't matter what it. Yeah, you're right owning money.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
What did you fall asleep and start snoring? That may
or may not have happened to me?
Speaker 10 (27:04):
Have you the message head clients that have fallen asleep?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
Is it a compliment though?
Speaker 10 (27:12):
Yeah, it is a compliment.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Yeah, unless you're telling a riveting story, then you've lost it,
do you know? I? You know those more message places
and you chuck your head in that weird face hole
on the table, and you can't help but think how
many faces have been in this face hole. I fell
asleep during one and I woke up, Jeanine, and there
was a bungee cord of saliva dangling down to the
(27:34):
floor at the bottom, a lake of my saliva. I
don't know how long I've been asleep for, and I
was trying to go to suck it, to suck the
cord back up.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
You should be.
Speaker 13 (27:45):
Banned from ever leaving your house, both honestly.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Ribbling at the mass. Sorry Jeanne, you didn't need to
be there for that.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Jeanine, You're don't have a wonderful day messaging people's here's Janine,
you too, Thank you by they we're going on the
Listen to Me, Fair to you, Taylor. It's split fifty
to fifty on the text for for eighty seven. A
lot of people saying eyes open, I'm normally gossiping.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Can't do that. Shut eyes open. It makes it weird
if there's shuts of people agree with you.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You go the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I feel like there's someone in this building that I
need to apologize to, but I don't know who it is.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
So I'll just do it on the radio and hopefully
it gets my apology.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
I am really awkward when I talk to new people, strangers, like,
I get really caught up and I get flustered, and
I often don't know what to say. But there was
a guy who was walking through the same door as me, so.
Speaker 7 (28:43):
I was like, I'm going to do like reverse chivalry.
I'm going to hold the door open. For him.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
So the big heavy door, I held it open for
him and he was grateful. He said thank you. And
as the skuy walked through, I was like all flustered
because I was like, I did a good thing, and
I get it all in my head about it, and
I went to say I often say oh, you're okay
or like not a problem.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
I ended up saying to the guy, you're a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And I had a moment where I was like doing
it to talk through the conversation.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
You're over the door, he says what he said cute,
and you say you're a problem, and I was like,
oh god, I have the door.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Is that all the direction?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
I'm just thinking thinking it's like when you say like
great and good and it's like good.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
I was gonna say you're okay, like you're okay or
like not a problem, but I said you're a problem
and you kind of walked off, and I was like,
I just told a guy in our building that he's
a problem.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
He's probably handing in his resignation. Now's a problematic. He's
like one of people know about me. Oh geez, you know,
I know.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
And I just I kind of was like, did I
say that? I had that moment.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
I was like, do I stop him? And do I
awkwardly explain that he just kind of walked off, and
then I was like, maybe he didn't hear me.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
You have those moments so often when you're an autopilot,
I find as well. You know, sometimes you know if
someone's like, yeah, taxis to the airport they have they
have a good flight, You're like you do and then
you walk out You're.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Like, what did I like hip?
Speaker 7 (30:20):
And you're like, I'm good things.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
You're like, I had an interesting moment, who was it?
Last week?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Where I bumped into a gentleman in the street and
he decided to go sort of post alone tattoos on
the face and everything they've done done the full commitments
to tattoos. And he came up to me and he said, oh,
you know, we used to listen to it to you
guys in prison, right, love your work? And then I responded, no,
(30:50):
I love your work. I don't know what work, what
his line of work was, and how it landed him
in prison, but you I'm sure he did it to
the best of his but you.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Don't know what to I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
That situation of your work, wasn't it quite?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Ye don't know what the work was. No, maybe next
time find out what the work is and then and
then clarify it.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Yeah, but it does.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
And a lot of the other one too is when
you ask someone, Oh, you say hello to someone, they
say hello, and you respond you volley backer, good thanks immediately.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Good things. Hasn't been nuice.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
No, no one cares how you're doing. And that's how
automatic that responses, and how need York it is, isn't
it as soon as you say good.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Things exactly, that guy can hear me.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
I'm sorry, you're not a problems that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I really appreciate it. I have an issue with the well.
I didn't have an issue with the paid forward system
until it was brought to my attention. So you know
some businesses now and the example I'll be using is
from a petrol station. You go to the counter and
if you're paying perpetual, you're asked.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Would you like to pay it forward?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
You know?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Being that so, I don't want a man explaining paying
it forward?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But can your man explaining the picture station scenario?
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Because the picture oh you've.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
Never had a picture station a different petrol station.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
I don't want to name and Shane the petrol station. Well,
they go, oh, would you like to pay it forward for,
you know, another customer?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
And I was like, I've never had that. I've never
been asked that in the picture.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Station, kind of like, no, I've paid it enough.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
For my own.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Can I pay it now just for myself instead of
paying it for But yeah, I've obviously been the narcissistic
radio now. So I looked around to see who was
watching this in direction, and there was someone behind me,
and I said, okay, yeah, I'll pay it forward ten
dollars choos Okay, he gets choose dog ten dollars that
might you know, given picture prices, get them off the
full course ten dollars with a picture. And then as
(32:45):
I've paid it forward, genuine behind me, he's.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Got an issue with it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
He's like, was he a bit?
Speaker 5 (32:51):
What does he have to pay it forward? To the
guy behind the counter.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
He's that you are a multi national, multi billion dollar
pictrol station. Why don't you just pay it forward. We're
already paying you. Why don't you pay it forward for
the customer? Like we'll give us a discount on patrol.
This was he also like the type of guy who
had a problem with government mandated lockdowns, like one of those.
But I was like, damn right, brother, and I was like,
can we undo that trail? And couldn't under the transaction,
(33:15):
I've already done it.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
That's really interesting because like, what's to say the petrol
station don't tell the next person they paid it Ford.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I was just about to say, I've never walked up
to account. I was gonna do that before Oh numb
nuts paid it forward for you. It will take ten
bucks off your pictures happen.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It's just giving.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
You're giving him them avice that will tip the little
bonus to the petrol station potentially.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
Our cafe that we used to have, we had a
thing called suspended coffees, so people if they wanted to,
we never asked them, but if they wanted to, they
could buy a suspended coffee and it got stuck up
on the wall.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
And then if anyone in our.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
Little coffee community ever had like a terrible day or
you know, like something that maybe they dropped their coffee.
Anything bad happens in anyone's life, then they get gifted
a suspended coffee from someone.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Who's bought one.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
It's a lovely but it.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Sits up there so everyone can see. That's how many
there are, and people like opt into it.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
We never asked, but how many.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
People would do it? Just a real thanks for the coffee.
That's good.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I don't know who this guy was, so I appreciate
him going into.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Bat for me.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
But then they still pay the ten bucks.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Well I'd already done it.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
And then he raised the issue after the transaction and
you can tell the guy behind the counters like, oh, bra,
I don't get paid enough to make up an answer
for your mate.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
That's just the pay it for. Has anyone actually received
received the pay it forward? A lot of people would
have paid it forward?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Is it a scam from the industry?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
It is the hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Credible watching the Black Fan sevens when New Zealand's first
medal and it was a gold against Canada.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
And cheriknare is in the stadium from the New Zealand
Herald Bong.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
From Paris and a great result for New Zealand. You
were at the game as our rugby sevens. He need
one gold?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I know?
Speaker 8 (35:00):
Oh how good was that? I am still here at
Star Defrance.
Speaker 11 (35:03):
The crowd was absolutely electric and just such an incredible
result for our women's side, back to back Olympic camps
and our first meddle in a gold Like what a
way to start.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
You feel like it was always destined, but then having.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
That pressure, Yeah, I think we all had really high
hopes for the blackf and sevens. They're always so dominant
and that you know, they looked in really good form today,
but you're right, you know, anything can happen. And after
the first half of the game, when Canada were a
little bit ahead, were like, oh okay, you know, and
we've got a yellow card and I was like, what's
gonna happen here? But amazing, Like I think I looked
(35:40):
around at some of the other New Zealand media and
they were all so calm. They're like, nah, nah, they've
got this, They've got this. I was probably a bit
more nervous than them, but amazing to see them on.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
It the stadium. We're having a lock on the TV
screens over here. It just seems it seems enormous. I mean,
how many people are in the stadium.
Speaker 11 (35:56):
I believe they were around sixty five thousand fans here
for the final. It is a massive stadium, and you
can imagine just the noise of the crowd when you
know everyone's cheering on that final whistle.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
We're watching vision of them now heading up onto the podium.
Are you watching this as we're speaking.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
I'm kind I can kind of see it. I'm just
around the back.
Speaker 11 (36:15):
I was trying to get to a bit more of
a quiet space for you guys, because when I say
the crowds out, it is very very loud.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
I feel like you should probably be there watching this
right now.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Away from Joe.
Speaker 8 (36:25):
I can kind of like peek it a little bit
through one of the doors.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
You should get out of the toilet watch this historic moment.
Mean you're like, oh, jeez, you've spoken to any of
the Black Ferns.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
I haven't yet. We'll be speaking to them very very soon.
Speaker 11 (36:42):
But I did speak to Sarah Henney after the semi
final when she was already tears then and just how
special this was and what it meant to her. So
I can only imagine her and the team now with
the gold met around the next im just going to
be such an emotional and incredible evening for them.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
She was Officially the Hits doesn't have official rights official
coverage of the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (37:04):

tap and we can talk to these people, but not
like the official people saying we're not getting sent over that,
sending John A Bin and Meghan over there to cover
and other.
Speaker 3 (37:17):

throwing them live onto what they believe as a live
sports talk show.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
So the hits the jonaan Ben podcast in Paris.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Shriek and air from the New Zealand Herald. Bonjour from
Paris and a great result for New Zealand. You were
at the game as our rugby seven's the whini one
gold I know.
Speaker 8 (41:18):
How good was that?
Speaker 11 (41:20):
The crowd was absolutely electric and just such an incredible
result for our woman's side, back to back Olympic champs
and our first meddle in a gold.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Like, what a way to start the stadium. We're having
a lock on the TV screens over here. It just
seems it seems enormous. I mean, how many people are
in the stadium.
Speaker 11 (41:37):
I believe there were around sixty five thousand fans here
for the final. It is a massive stadium, and you
can imagine just the noise of the crowd when you
know everyone's cheering on that final whistle.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
We're watching vision of them now heading up onto the podium.
Are you watching this as we're speaking.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
I'm kind I can kind of see it. I'm just
around the back.
Speaker 11 (41:57):
I was trying to get to a bit more of
a quiet space for you guys, because when I say
the crowd has pout, it is very, very loud.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I feel like you should probably been there watching this
right now.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
We're taking it away from your job.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
See.
Speaker 8 (42:06):
I can kind of like peek it a little bit
through one of the doors.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
You should get out of a toilet. Yeah, everyone watched
this historic moment.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
John and Meghan.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
You're like, oh, geez, I'm so a lot of amazing
athletic performances over there at the Olympics, but from yourself
as well, I mean, how much sleep are you running on?
You were messaging me yesterday about this radio interview, and
then I was like, what, hang on, what time is
it for you?
Speaker 11 (42:29):
Yeah, you don't get a lot of sleep when you're
covering the Olympics, but it's one of those things that
you know, you know what you're signing up for, but
it's such an incredible event to cover, so it kind
of balances itself out.
Speaker 8 (42:38):
But I was definitely a little bit relieved this morning
when I woke up.
Speaker 11 (42:41):
My alarm went off at about six am, and I
was getting ready for the triathlon, and then I found
out it was postponed and I was like, oh, fantastic,
So I rolled over for another couple hours.
Speaker 8 (42:50):
So sort of a little bit relieved for that.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
Well, let's talk about the triathon, because obviously the water
conditions and the River Seine.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
There was rain in.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
The weekend and that meant the things great words like
E coli are being bandied around at the moment. They're
not sure if they're going to swim in it. You
went down yesterday and took some water out of it
to have a look at it.
Speaker 8 (43:10):
I did.
Speaker 11 (43:11):
I went to investigate myself for what the sin was
looking like when I put it in a bottle.
Speaker 8 (43:15):
It definitely didn't look as a kid as.
Speaker 11 (43:17):
It does sort of on the surface because it was
quite brown and all of a sudiment.
Speaker 8 (43:21):
And I saw a shoe floating down. It's definitely not
It's definitely not in the neck.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (43:28):
I mean last night the triathlon was still set to go.
Speaker 11 (43:31):
Organizer as a really optimistic and I was like, Okay,
we'll see been sure enough this morning. Nope, water's quality
not up to standard. Postponed till tomorrow. And the interesting
thing is on August second is the last date they
can postpone it to and if the sins still not
up to stand it, it changes. It's going to become
a I think it starts with a run, bike and
then a run, So they had to ditch the swimming all.
Speaker 5 (43:53):
Really, now, what stringent testing did you do on the water?
Was it the taste test?
Speaker 10 (43:59):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Though?
Speaker 11 (44:00):
When I put that priddle away, I had to make
real conscious note to put like, chuck the water out
because I had a moment where I thought I'm going
to reach for this and you'll drink it.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
We should, we should bring it back here and we'll
use it in the radio stuff doing Russian Russian really.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
The name.
Speaker 8 (44:19):
I do feel for the triathletes.
Speaker 11 (44:21):
I think, even if they do manage to do the swim,
we're saying that the pollution levels were too high today,
So if they're good tomorrow, they must just be good enough,
which means they're still not ideal.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
So what's going to change over twenty four hours that's
going to make it like much.
Speaker 7 (44:36):
Better the swimming?
Speaker 5 (44:36):
You know, it feels like the same pollution is going
to be in there.
Speaker 7 (44:40):
Have we seen the mire since she went for a
swim in there?
Speaker 4 (44:43):
You know what?
Speaker 8 (44:44):
I haven't or heard anything from this. Apparently the levels

Speaker 11 (44:50):
Apparently on the day that she's from there went back
and they're like, oh, actually we may have not measured
that correctly.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Maybe they need to take the approach that moment MANI
pride does. When she saw me head above you know
how mother's swim head above water.
Speaker 8 (45:01):
Yeah, I saw an athlete on TikTok.
Speaker 11 (45:03):
I think she's from the US. She was making a
joke about she had like some duct tape that she
taped over her mouth.
Speaker 8 (45:09):
She was like preparing for the triathlon.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Do you know the week books Kikids Triathlon. When we
went to that they couldn't do the swim park because
all the sewer sewards had gone into the ocean. So
it's happening all over the world, ruined, ruined water.

all the aftermath of this incredible gold midle. But with
tomorrow's action tonight New Zealand time. Hopefully that means triathlon
goes ahead. There's also some rowing and some sailing, and
then if you're looking ahead to the next few days,
later on in the week, we're going to start seeing
the athletics, which I know a lot of people are
really excited about.

I We'll be speaking to them very very soon. But
I did speak to Sarah Hedney after the semi final
when she was already tears then and just how special
this was and what it meant to her. So I
can only imagine her and the team now with the
gold medal around the next just going to be such
an emotional and incredible evening for them.
