and we couldn't find it. So being you're Bean's on
a phone call.

Speaker 5 (00:42):
Yeah, I was on the phone call to the organizer
because we haven't been to the office before, talking to her.
And then midway through this guy came up and he
was like, ah, yeah, you John on Ben, you know
from Telling radio, And I'm like, yeah, you're doing nice
to see it, shook his hand, still trying to juggle
a conversation, and then he'sord of just carried on a conversation.
I was at the moment really trying to juggle to

(01:03):
you were running.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Too conversationd because I walked up and I saw being
juggling two simultaneous conversations.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
One on the phone you hear directions, which is hard
because you've got to remember directions, and.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Then this other guy who had no concept of what
a phone call, was very still continuing on.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I'll beat you before us on the casino. Oh yeah,
good to see, and.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Being Ben couldn't possibly say, oh, sorry, mate, I'm just
on a call.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
At the moment, I did see you just during to
your phone, and at that point most people would be like, oh,
they're involved in another conversation, but this guy's like, no, no, no,
he can also handle mine, which is you know, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
He had full faith in you and me in your
communication skills. But I was very I was struggling. I
was struggling to have conversation with him.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
We're talking about job opportunities in the industry while also talking.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
To It's a humie chat, just like yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I was like, yeah, the industry, what's going on?

Speaker 5 (01:56):
And then I'm also trying to two blocks away and
I keep going to I kept repeating. She must have
thought I was not as quick as you know, because
I kept saying, so hang on, sorry, So I go past,
you know, because I was trying to recap.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
But she's like, you have talked you like four times.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
You're like, mate, I know the media and Austry is struggling.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I'm trying to get another work here. He's zeroed it
on me too, and he's like, do you need stuff moved?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
And I was like, what do you mean? It's like
I can move anything. Name something and I can move it.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Get out there and hustle. You've got a hustle.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
He's like, if you've got keyboards that you need moves
And I've been doing radio a long time and I
don't think I've even come across the keyboard that the
computer keyboards sometimes we need those relocated as well.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, I could probably probably handle that ourselves.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
But I'll be handy if someone was here to do it.
That's true, You're right.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Times were better people to shift this keyboard right here.
I'm holding to another room.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
But imagine you're quite good at multitasking, Megan.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yep, I am pretty good a multitasking.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Not quite.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
I don't know about two conversations, one that hippie as well.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think being easily offered him a job surely.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, you were saying great, see you soon to the
person on the phone and thought it was for him.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
So he's coming in at night the heads that jonaan
Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
You're saying a bestie, young one that dropped you in
it at the Kindy. Yeah, you need to learn the
loose lips sing ships for all these kids, don't they.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, he's three and he loves telling a yarn. I
don't know where he gets it from.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
But I was sorry to interrupt there because but what
I love You play a video the other day of
him and Kindy with his mates just rocking out to
a c DC loving it, like heading at the drum
beat on but a word and stuff like that, and
you're like, I've never played him that song in my life.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I know, but he's just love it. He knows the song.
He loves that.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
I've never played him a CDC. He's also loving Dolly
Pardon at the moment.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Tell me you go to a wistalking day here without
telling you. But it's very cool. It's very cool. He'll
be doing his first burnout before you know it.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
He is a little bogun, but he's just got into
telling yarns and so this was quite confronting. When I
weet to pick him up, about six of his teachers
all together and they were like, we've got something we
need to ask you.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Feel like an intervention, They were like.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Bessie sat down and was very serious and told us
the story. I was like, oh my god. I was like, okay, what,
Oh my god, what's happened? And so he had told
everyone that Dad had broken the toilet and made a
huge mess. I was like, okay. They said, I.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Don't know brute force.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Then they said and he said there was stones everywhere
and Poppy had to clean it up.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Who's Poppy exactly?

Speaker 4 (04:39):
They were like, who's Poppy? And I was sitting there.
I was like, I have no idea the toilet. I
don't know what the toilet has been broken?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
So what has Poppy been doing with Andrew the toilet?

Speaker 5 (04:52):
I wasn't there all fixed up before you got Bessie
knew about it that.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
I thought about it a little bit harder and realized
Poppy has my dad as Pop and he calls them Poppy.
And when my dad stayed the toilet was the seat
was half off, and my dad took it off. It
was really dirty. He'd cleaned it and put it all
back together again. I don't know where the stones came from,
but I'm sitting there. It took me a long time
to come to the conclusion that my dad fixed the

(05:21):
toilet seat.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, at least you can assure that the teachers a
daycare will tell you about an affair.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
They've got your beck, your bet.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
I was ready to throw down and be like, who's Poppy?
Who is Poppy? But no, it's my dad.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Did you look through his phone for Poppy? You think
it's your dad?

Speaker 4 (05:40):
But okay, do you know Poppy?

Speaker 5 (05:49):
That John and Ben podcast took a friend over the
weekend and we want I wanted to know what the
hats four for eight seven? What are you being kicked
out of? Because they were saying when they were younger,
they joined or choir, we're enjoying it. But they had
a lot of friends there and they were they still
quite chatty, and they got constantly warned about their chattiness.
Eventually it didn't matter about their singing ability, got elsted

(06:12):
from kicked out of school.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Choir for talking too much too chatty.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Maybe if they were singing their conversation, yeah, they would,
they would get away with it like a musical, except
the choir. But when you tone it down to just
a straight conversation, disruptive, disruptive.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
So they got to get kicked out of it.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
And I imagine that you're not the only one that's
been kicked out of not only clubs or groups, but
even like places around the place.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Have you been removed from anywhere?

Speaker 4 (06:40):
No, I remember being chatty and choir and being told off,
but it never got kicked out.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
I didn't. You didn't get your final warning or anything.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
I don't think I've been kicked out of anything.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
I love those people that get kicked out of bars
and then do a bit of an on the spot
brainstorm around the corner from the bar and they're like,
I'll tell you what, I will swap shirts with you, yeah,
and get back a completely different person.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
But the works, No, because you know the bouncer or
the security that they're sober.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
You're drunk, and you think this disguise is amazing.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
And I've just seen you moments before and taking you
out of the place, and then they're like, well now,
you're coming back in and a.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Different colored T shirt. You're like, no, that was my friend,
mister orange tea shirt. There was a group that Maniah
who works for the Alternate Commentary here at the at
the radio station. He set up a wonderful NBA basketball group,
like a fantasy team group, and you pick your players

(07:38):
and you have to manage them throughout the season.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
I was part of it as well.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
You were, Yeah, you were part of it as well,
And I knew. I knew when I signed up to it.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I could look. I could see the look in your eyes.
You're like, he's got no follow through.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
You would sit your internal timer as to how long
it was until I checked out, and I haven't been.
There's been not much activity for me on that group.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
No, of your last plague, it's because you did nothing
all season.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Your players were out and whatever. You're like, it was
the worst.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
So you had an easy word every time he come
up and get you because didn't change it once.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
No, I bought a guy who was actually still down
for four months for gun related isshoes, so he couldn't
even play.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Do you know I know the real story here. I
may not let me say this.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
When he came in and he said after I was
just meaning to talk to you, to me about that,
but you were like, yeah, may not play.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
And he.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
And he was like, oh, okay, all good, And I
said I saw.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
And it is like he did nothing all season, like
he didn't even try. I was like, well, he just
took up the space. It was like, didn't even once
and players took I want you to play, you.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Know, great, it's great John's and do us And then
clearly wasn't you knew you knew what was going to happen.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
You know, I don't know think it lasted two weeks.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
I was involved in the you know, the preseason ban
to all come over for you did well at.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
The and yes, I got kicked out of that group
for me, Oh that's embarrassing. You found out on national radio.
He's a lovely guy, he's welcoming.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Well.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I apologize tonight. That was n for all parties.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Involves that Jona wan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Your friend got kicked out of the choir for too
much talking chatty, being too chatty.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
So I to know one hundred the hats four for
eight seven, what have you been kicked out of?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Some great texts coming through here four for eight seven.
When when I lived in Canberra, they had a promotion
eat as much as you can KFC. Obviously play a
pay of flat feet and after attending there for four
weeks and a rid got kicked out for eating too
much KFC.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
But they said all you can eat. That's the problem
with a lot.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
When you show them how much you can actually eat,
some people they don't like it.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
The old corporates get a bit nervous.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Went on a date with a girl who got absolutely
trolleyed and ended up whispering to me how she's looking
forward to licking my armpits.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Later that night.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
She got kicked out of the restaurant about thirty five
minutes later for the bill and the uber.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
On the way home, I put imagine, I've never had
an armput like.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
No, it's not somewhere i'd like to look.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
You appreciate it, though, do you?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
You're like, damn, she's willing to look some umpets. Yeah,
that's the first stop. Thought that there'd be like fifth, sixth,
seventh from the list. Tilly, good morning morning.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
He is evern looked an armput Tilly, Oh, absolutely fair enough.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
An appealing place, but it's just think, now, Tilly, you've
been kicked out of somewhere.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
Oh yeah. This was very early in my twenties, and
I'm a teacher, you see, and we had this group
of teachers from our Saying school. So we decided we'll
go out that night. And so there was a school
ball of another school happening somewhere close by, so we thought, oh,
we'll just go see what happens. And then so we
turn up there and they asked us if the door, are.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Your teachers, and we go.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Yeah, yeah, and they go, okay, you can go in now.
So that was for free. We got in there, but
it was the ball of another school. And then when
they realized we weren't the teachers of that school, so
obviously we had to leave. They were acts very slightly,
not really slightly. They caught us three wheelers and here,

(11:35):
I didn't, are you teachers technically.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
School?

Speaker 4 (11:43):
What's the drawcut? Because like the students, I imagine, there's
there's no like the knows, there's no wine, So why
did you want to be in front of more students?

Speaker 7 (11:56):
No, because we were just telling me, fine, we were young,
these were teenagers, twines ourselves.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
And you know, yeah, you're wheeling telling you, I love it,
I have a great day.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I really appreciated. Let's get Michelle on where were you
kicked out of?

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (12:12):
Hey, it wasn't me. It was my poor son. He
was three, and we're delayed him to kindy because he wasn't.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
That happy about it.

Speaker 8 (12:19):
But after six weeks I got a phone call, got
summoned to the Candy oh No, and had the meeting,
and you know, they said to me, he just doesn't
want to be here. He just doesn't want to be there.
And I'm like, oh gosh, you know, I see that.
That's the whole point, you know. Send him to school,
send him to candy. They said, no, he really like

(12:40):
he he just doesn't want to be here. Can you
please just take him away for a while and make
me trafficking later. Anyway, when we asked him what the
story was, he said to me and to the teacher,
he said, look, because he spent some with my parents
because I worked. And he said, on Monday, my Oprah
and I we do this. On Tuesday, we do that,

(13:00):
on Wednesday we do this. Non Suesday we do that,
and on Friday we do this hit And I coming here,
I can't do any of.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Oh, that's sweet because I treated him.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
There's another great kindergarten, kindergarten DT too.

Speaker 8 (13:15):
Yeah, they did the lawns, the garden, they went to
the swoopmag It was really really sweet. But on the
end it turned out fine. You know, he didn't actually
go back to kinder I have to say he just didn't.
So he's just had much better life until he was five.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
No, we'll got a bit of life away from.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
School.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
There's always a bit of life. I'd rather be hanging
out with your the kids, grandparents. Great text here.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
My father always used to say, if me days, the
problem was my two little brothers got out of kicked
out of three kindergartens.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
That's all they would say. Don't just turnindert.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
They get told off there like every days.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
So I expelled from kindergarten.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
The Heads that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
It was really interesting.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
You were talking about actor Keanu Reeves. Been in many,
many amazing movies for many years when Bill and Ted's
Make Tricks all those sort of movies.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
But you were saying what a wonderful person he is.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
I was like, do you know the backstory to Coanu
Reeves and why he is the greatest man in hollywoods.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
I assu him catching the memes of him catching a
bus and things like that transport always.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Takes a subway, takes public transport. That's just the tip
of the iceberg. But I thought everyone knew this about Kanu.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Reeves, I've done it really interesting.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
So I was like, that's quickly to say for those
that haven't heard, like myself, that what an amazing I mean,
really horrible things he's been through, but what a wonderful
person he is because of those that's I guess in
a way.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, he's experienced a lot of tragedy. So his father
abandoned him when he was three, his daughter died at
eight months old, his wife died in a car accident,
and his best friend died of an overdose. So instead
of being swallowed up by grief, which you'd imagine would
get most of us, he has spent his life giving
to people. There are multiple hospitals that claim to have

(14:53):
received tens of millions of dollars from him, but he
never tells anyone. On his birthday in twenty twenty, went
into a bakery and or a cupcake for himself with
a candle, sat outside and ate it, and then everyone
who went into the bakery. He bought bread and coffee
for everyone. Just went in and set up yourself for free.
It's on me. When he did the Matrix Trilogy, he

(15:14):
distributed fifty million dollars amongst the special effects crew because
he said they were the real heroes.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, it goes on and on.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
He overheard a conversation when he was filming The Lake
House with wardrobe Assistance. The woman was crying because she
was going to lose her house, so she said she
needed twenty thousand dollars. He didn't say anything. He just
deposited the money for her.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
How did you get account number? Say something? What's your
double that's some sort of scamlight phone call? What's um Hello?
It's wasting your check account number? Amazing? What a human being.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
He buys his stunt, his stunt artist, Harley Davidson's. It
just goes on and on. He goes to a normal gym,
he does jiu jitsu classes with everyday people, takes the
subway and yeah, he just everything we know about him,
all the good things he does we hear from other people.
We don't hear it from him.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Any voter for Ricky Martin. That man.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
It's only downside is he's a Trump supporter. I think
they've kept that hidden as well.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast across Live.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Now to the Olympic Villager, one of our swimmers. She
did the butterfly earlier in the week in the Olympic pool.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Joining us now from Paris. Hazel, our hand, how's it going?

Speaker 1 (16:40):
It's good.

Speaker 9 (16:40):
It'd be better if you could pronounce my name properly.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Our hand right, our hand is our hand?

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Our hands? Yeah? Sorry.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
I was practicing on that now and then when I
got like my Olympics, when I got to the final moment,
I crumbled.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
He was looking in the mirror and practice, written it
down and practiced it. Then I got to it. I
was like, oh jeez, I've screwed this up. So sorry, Hazel.
Four years, four years I've trained for this moment. But congratulations.
That was so awesome to cheer you on on the pool.
How was it competing over there?

Speaker 9 (17:08):
It's honestly like nothing I've ever experienced before. I mean
I was at the Commonwealth Games in twenty twenty two
and going out into the pool arena for my first
race was definitely like an OEMG moment because it was
the biggest crowd I'd ever faced at that point, but
coming here to the Olympics, there was even more people
and everyone was extra loud and it was definitely experience

(17:34):
for me.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Is the pool cold or warm or look warm or tip?
What is it tipped?

Speaker 9 (17:40):
Yeah, it's quite fresh. It's definitely a bit colder than
your average training pool. Competition pool is generally like a
degree colder. I think it's around twenty seven degrees nice,
whereas I think your average training pool is like twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Because you see the gentleman who in between races has
to come out in his speedos and and collect the
swimming caps from the bottom of the pool.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Have you seen him? He's become a hero.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
I was.

Speaker 9 (18:05):
I was poolside watching when that happened, and we were
all confused because the next race was supposed to start
but it wasn't for some reason. We're thinking what going on?
And then he straws strolls out and the budget smugglers
and we're like, oh, okay, Yeah, he got a good
bit of applause from the crowd and they quite enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Probably big stage going do we have to wear speeder athletes.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Yeah, it's been incredible watching not only you compete but
also your social media as well, and just you're saying
how loud the crowd is, but also how quiet they
get before the race. And then I was watching the
breaststroke the other night and they're they're cheering when.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
The swimmers pop up and then go back under the water.
It's incredible.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
Yeah, I mean, like for the start of the race,
it has to be quiet because any amount of noise
can like off put a swimmer because you're waiting for
you know, from the moment they say take your marks.
You have to be still until the buzzer goes because
if you move or you know, having any big flinches,
you get disqualified. So that's why everything has.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
To be quiet as you are on those starting blocks
like are you are you are you crapping yourself.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Or you can't?

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah, please don't do that in the pool or go
and the budget smuggers will come out of What are
the nerves.

Speaker 9 (19:14):
Like, I mean, there are definitely nerves. I feel like
I had more nerves for our Olympic qualifiers in Hawk's
Bay that there was more at stake, but it almost
felt like there was more at steak like I was
so so nervous before that.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
What is it like in the Olympic village? They see
the cardboard beds. We heard there's like a supermarket and
bank tellers.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
What's it like?

Speaker 9 (19:37):
It's really cool, honestly. The only thing that I can
like in it too is like university, Like it gives
university campus five.

Speaker 8 (19:44):
Ye.

Speaker 9 (19:46):
There is a little supermarket, so you get yourself some
chocolates and stuff. There's a corona bar. Obviously it's non
alcoholic coronas, but there's a corona bar.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (19:55):
The cardboard beards, they're quite tiny, but they do the job,
I guess. And there's even bikes spotted all around the campus,
so if you find a free bike, you can just
grab a bike.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
And go for a ride. We heard that there's a
Samsung shot you just wonder and you can take a phone.

Speaker 8 (20:12):
Everyone.

Speaker 9 (20:12):
All the athletes do get a free phone. Yes, you
get it on a arrival. It's in your bedroom. But
there is a Samsung store as well, so if you
want to go and buy extra stuff like like earphones
or cases for your for your new phone or anything
like that, you can go and do that.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Can you take the bike home theme.

Speaker 9 (20:31):
Can you take the beds home? I don't want to
take the goddamnit very little late capacity for my luggage
as it is taking extra.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
What I did see on your Instagram is that you
have a bunch of pins. I didn't realize this was
a thing until I saw you post about it. Is
that each country, each team has their own pins and
then you trade them between yourselves.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 9 (20:54):
So I posted one today with the Saudi Arabia pin,
which is like really pretty Every country has their own
pins and you get x amount dependent on how much
your country gives you, like we got given twenty each,
and then you trade them amongst the different countries to
try and you know, get as many as you can.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Well, there's a Snoop Dog one.

Speaker 9 (21:11):
Yeah, there's a Snoop dogg pin. I highly doubt that
I'm going to be lucky enough to get that, if
I'm honest. I missed him when he was in the village,
but I think he might have just gone to see
Team America. Simone Biles also has her own like specific pink.
I think it was one of the girls in the
rugby sevens. She managed to get her hands on Simone's pin.
So now that Simone has an end z pin, it's
pretty much like off limits for everyone else from New

(21:34):
Zealand because you won't want another.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
One the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
Oh, I was just going to try and segue into
this next conversation about begging a little bit tired today?
We tied today, Ben Funny should ask it a little
bit tired, but obviously not as tired as our boss Harriett,
who joins us right now.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Because Harriet, well you told us where you fell asleep.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
You don'tknoted off the other the other night and a
very important thing in your life.

Speaker 10 (21:57):
I nottted off at my own engagement party.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Wow, must have been really let us welcome to marriage.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Welcome, that's what you do. Marriage is just trying to
stay awake, is it? Sit on the couch to try
and stay awake?

Speaker 10 (22:10):
Like my future husband is very used to this because
it does happen quite often in public scenario.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
So what was going on at the time. It wasn't
a big party.

Speaker 10 (22:18):
It was probably twenty people. It's a big party, but
I guess it is bottles of bubbles sitting around a table,
and that is the thing sitting.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yes, when you stop sitting when a bit.

Speaker 10 (22:29):
Quiet, and then I can feel my eyes shut, and
then I try and stay awake by keeping them open.
I reckon, I actually fall asleep with my eyes open.
And the next thing, it just goes silent, and I realized,
oh crap, at what.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Point in the party did everyone just go silent? Twenty
people just sitting in my.

Speaker 10 (22:45):
Brain goes everyone just everyone's tuned out, like I've just
tuned out of everything around me.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Was it late at night?

Speaker 9 (22:52):
What time like ten o'clock? But that's late for me?

Speaker 11 (22:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (22:55):
You did get up early? People in the party notice
that you maybe not, but my.

Speaker 10 (23:00):
Friends that he next to me said, do you think
we should get an urber?

Speaker 9 (23:02):
Certain, yes, you must have not.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Well, the best place to fall asleep is your own party,
because you're not offending anyone. You know, it's not like
you're celebrating someone else's milestone.

Speaker 10 (23:12):
You are offending people because everyone around you you're close
with and they know what's happening. Whereas our fallen asleep.
A couple of weeks ago, on a comedy show, I'm
up the back comedian couldn't see me, so it's fine.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
And also all your friends are like, wow, we must
be so rivett. Yeah, so you're so happy we're all here.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Time to go home for them, right, it's asleep, Okay,
monumental events that you're falling asleep.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
And we just spoke to you. We did a sleep
thing the other day. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
I took my daughter to work at a Broadway show
with a real special moment, and the guy next to
her whole time, the whole time slept, woke up for
a lot of money for that, and then just went
back to sleep.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
He had a lot of money maybe at a wonderful sleep. Yeah,
so he fell asleep the whole time.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
So, monumental locations, monumental events that you fall asleep at,
try and stay awake at the winning.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
It's a bit of advice. I'm not an expert, but.

Speaker 9 (24:01):
Yeah, it is a genuine concern.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Maybe you have it earlier, earlier in the day, about
six or seven.

Speaker 9 (24:07):
Well, let's do a venue that the buses come at
midnight the John.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
And Ben podcast.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
You but right now we're talking about monumental moments in
your life that you've fallen asleep at. After our boss
Harriet fell asleep at her own engagement.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
Party, Angela, you are on the show. Would you read
about it? Angela? No, great to have you on. It
wasn't you. Who's the sleeper, but it's your husband.

Speaker 12 (24:32):
Correct, He really did. He was on a I'm pretty
sure it was because it was years ago, but it
was a cricketers at the end of the year, go
on a golf trip.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
God, that sounds dangerous.

Speaker 12 (24:45):
And it was in Hamilton, will places. And he fell
asleep at a strip show and had there.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
Yeah, nothing would offend me more if I was.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
Of you and sleep long day bears with the boys.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
You know, excuse me, like shimmying and everything.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
You're probably from your seat, you're probably that's great, great,
good on, I'm great.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Great time to fall asleep, you know, oh well why not?

Speaker 12 (25:15):
Why not? And doing as all great mates do. They
left them and he woke up, woke.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Up in the club.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
What a leaked place to wager? Tell me the lights
went on. You never want to see one of those
with the lights on.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
It's such a good story.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
I appreciated, Thank you, great tents coming through here. I
fell asleep on the inter islander because I was horribly
sea sick. However, there was an international film crew shooting
at the same time, and instead of walking up to
me and getting me to move, they filmed around me
and I was in the back of the shot, mouth
wide open, fast, asleep in the back of an international show.

(25:55):
Humiliating release that you think, right, it doesn't count, Tanya.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
We'll get you on.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Welcome to the show, Hime morning.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, good to you. Fill asleep at a concert, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
A Marilyn Manson concert. Can you imagine that? I had,
Like my excuse was because I had been working overseas
and I had just gone back and it was a
present for my husband then boyfriend at the time. But
I was like, really jet legs, but who could fall asleep?
And Marilyn Manson a loud noise out.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
I know, it's a lot happening in that show.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
There was a lot happening. And were people waking you up?
Were they no?

Speaker 6 (26:40):
It was kind of I was just like going in
and out, you know, when you catch yourself if you're sleeping.
I was putting down to you, like probably not the
best thing I should have been.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
The goths were very respectful.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Remember going to Marilyn Manson show and the fire alarm
went off halfway through the show. Then is about fifteen
bogans just sort of waiting outside the town hall and.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
They had to go back and it's really hard to
chlor a show back. Yeah, you're right, thank you. You're
sleeping in the back.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Sex The Hits that johna wan Ben podcast.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Brand new podcast out today here at the Hits and
the Hits Breakfast. It's a brand new podcast which was
mentioned before. But a producer, Taylor, you can tell us
about you go on your podcast.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yes I do.

Speaker 13 (27:24):
I've brought my husband here with me today, Marcello, and
we have a podcast coming out called The Montoyas Drops today. Actually,
so everyone listen.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
We've had a glimpse of you all bet the curtain
on your relationship multiple times on this shows volatile, volatileship, passionate.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Sparks flying, all sorts of so this is we can
imagine this is going to carry.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Over to the podcast absolutely, if not more.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
Marcello, we're here, you're here. Great to have you here, mate,
thanks too. But of an idea that we wanted to try.
We wanted to send you out of the room, Taylor,
and we wanted to ask some questions about you to
Marcelo and then you can come back in and we
can you can check if he's got the right answers.
Let's just hope they're going to create more volatile situations.
It's just gonna be a segment, all right, You're okay
with that.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Taylor's going to hit on out now. Marcelo been wants
to ask you the first question question.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Taylor's out the room. Are you doing the podcast against
your will? This is not one for Taylor. You're okay?

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Do you need to blink twice or we need to
help you out? You're okay, I'm actually okay.

Speaker 11 (28:21):
I think at the start I wasn't against it, but
I thought I wouldn't be like, I wouldn't be considered. Yeah,
but then she obviously said, oh let's have a crack,
and then it's actually been quite quite fun. I mean,
we get to film every week, and instead of having
those little arguments that you would have with your partner,
it's just literally a week of us ventcing and talking
about each other, especially like an our of therapy.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
And it's it's cool. It's been cool.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Because you're not you're not in any form of social media. Yes,
you know, you're just not into social media. Is it
weird that you're gonna have this whole thing out there
about your relationship on social media, but you're not going
to know what people are saying about it.

Speaker 11 (28:57):
Yes, it's a great question, and I think like it's
a big jump for me putting myself out there. It's
quite big, right, But for me it's for her, right, Yeah,
Like I want her to be successful and I want
her to get her name out there. So for me,
it's all about that. It's not about me. I mean,
it is quite daunting, but at the same time, it's like, like,
let's talk it.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
How do you know what people's opinions are of your
performance on the field if you're not on social media? Right,
here we go, these are the questions.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Okay, so about about Taylor and we're going to bring
it back out and see how you go. Okay, do
you remember the first time you guys missed?

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yes, it was at etiquette dinner dinner?

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yes, all right, okay, because she's told us before she
was a cheerleader for the Bulldogs who were playing for dinner.

Speaker 11 (29:38):
It's honestly mean, it was stupid. So the last club
I used to play out, they they do etiquette dinners
with the cheerleaders and the under twenties team right to
teach them like dinner etiquette.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yes, yeah, dealing with sponsors and yeah yeah yes.

Speaker 11 (29:56):
Some boys actually don't realize actually have no idea how
to use knife and forks, I guess.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
But so those weapons on side on the side of
the plate.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
A favorite comedy show for Taylor Sinfield. Okay, what were
the flowers that Taylor and a bridal party headed?

Speaker 11 (30:14):
They were white ones.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
That's enough fun. I don't know if it was roses,
but they were white. Okay, well white roses. Actually there
were at white roses. What would Taylor say was their
favorite thing about going to a Warriors game?
