It's not about gendles.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You've got fenny pecks over there.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Makes me laugh.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Different connotations over here are fanny.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
Oh, that's a fupa over here.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
So we call it like a bum bag or a
belt bag or something like that. But a fanny pack
that always makes us laugh.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean it's the leamest sounding term. I mean
they are pretty lambs.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, we can talk for hours about the differences. We've
gotten to call with us from New York. The Olympics.
What a spectacle is it? You've got the celebrities, obviously,
the athletes they're contractually bla much to be there. But
it hasn't It been awesome? It really has.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
And it was funny because I was talking to one
of my friends who was like, the Olympics are so lame,
Like the Olympics are for people who like don't watch
like real sports like football and basketball and baseball during
the year. I was like, are you kidding? I so
look forward to the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's so fun.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
The girls gymnastics team, for me is the thing that
I look forward to the Yeah, it's just unreal.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So mind Boiles is she's phenomenal.
Speaker 8 (04:24):
I know, we just found out that they're naming this
a sixth move after her.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I just she's got like it's on the bars.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, so they have she has something on each
apparatus now, like they have like a move named after
her on the bars, on the floor, on the beam,
and on the vault, which is kind of bout us.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It's really bad. You know, you know you've done well
when they've decided to name a cool move after you.
The other star started team the US means basketball team. Yes,
Lebron James Ki car are you name it? They're all there.
Do you get to interview basketball players.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
No, I don't believe.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Oh we had Shequille.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
O'Neil once, Oh, Shequille O'Neil, Yeah, which was very cool.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He's very large.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
His hand is so big that it can like palm
your head, which is kind of daunting. He's just like
a big, like stuffed animal, like you just want to
hug him.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
He's a really nice guy. Speaking of Simone Balls, have
you seen that photo of Simone Balls nixt to Shaquille O'Neil. Yes, yes, yeah, four.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Yeah, she's like four to eight or something. She was short,
but that's next level short.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
I d say she's head to clap back because she's
the greatest of all time, right, she's an incredible athlete, amazing,
But she said to clap back at people who are
hassling her here on social media.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Her hair.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Okay, I'm not gonna lie and I love me Simon.
I did actually say that out loud in my family
when we were watching. I feel like, not like and
I would never say anything to her, but I just
was questioning. I feel like you were on there, You're
in these like amazing leotards, like you're like ready to go.
Her hair's breeded or slipped back, and I feel like
hers looks like she's just like threw it up, like
(06:05):
like I could do that. Here do I feel like
you thought you want it like done pristine for the
freaking Olympics.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
She's done. I'm fifteen minutes late for work.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Here do yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
She said?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
She said.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
It's also like nine thousand degrees, so she's like, I
did it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
But then the humidity's go gotcha?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Okay, So currently, right now I'm having a lock. When
we're talking to you, guys America US say twenty six medals?
Have I guess how many you think New Zealand's won
at the Olympics so far?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh no, I'm going to fifteen.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That's so generous, thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Maybe by the end of it we got two. Currently
we've got a silver and the triathlon and one gold.
Amazing performance by our woman seven s rugby team which
was incredible, but you know, just just one.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Stuck on quantity though then he's so like, but like,
what else is there?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
It is about.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Quantity the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
All we tend to do is a very small nation.
At some point during the Olympics, we'll start to break
down the middle wines per capita, so and then that
really that puts us sort of inside the top twenty.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
We have like five million people in New Zealands. It's
pretty good. Ten medals for five million people.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
You do whatever you need to do to make yourself
feel better. But I mean, it really isn't fair when
you're like, you don't have as many people, so there's
not many as many options. No, so you know what,
you guys get the participation Trophy.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Thank you, Oh Nicole. I'll be catching up with you
again and we'll speak next week. The Cold Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The hats the jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
As I mentioned before, probably the worst email crime I
have committed been emailing for How long has email been around? Well,
we've been active on it for twenty years or so,
it's been around a while.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, I feel like you've had a few faux pas.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
We hit you up about always replying all being like
legionds to everyone.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'll stop there now. You notice I've stopped that because
you made me all self conscious about that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
You just fire them off in a frenzy. Yeah, yeah,
baararge of emails. Megan and I know about it because
often we're on the same email so all of a sudden,
it's all coming.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Through verretic retic.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
But yeah, I'd write a lot of my messages and
caps as they start in caps, and then the final
because I'm not looking at the screen that ends in
a lower case leader. I'm like, oh, I don't know
how to change that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Isn't there a highlight and a hot key?
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Probably?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I think there is cries a little bit more work.
He's like, I don't worry about her.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
They get them as long as you get in the message.
So who gives about the full meeting? But a big
crime yesterday now being this was business transaction going back
and forth between you were on the email between us
and and a lady in Australia and trans Tasmin. So
I don't even know this woman, No, I have no
idea who she is?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Well you do, I mean you know that someone that
we'd like to get to. You wanted to impressed, right, And.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'd finished the email and then afterwards I was like, oh,
I might try and find out a bit more information
about her, you know, just you know her work history.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're doing a background chap?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeahs would do you do those?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Catch a vibe on someone and you know it was
the next time you're having small talk, you can bring
something up.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's also quite helpful too, because we had to do
something other night, John O and I and we didn't
know we hadn't met the person. Well to me reminder,
We're like, what's that person look like? We both sort
of screenshot of the photo and then we both showed
each other and we're like, totally different people.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
So one of us was totally wrong.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, We're like, oh, it's either this person or that person,
but we don't know you're right. I think I was
right at the end, but it was like, very well,
I was looking for a completely different person.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I never found them, but that's in the endnet there's
a great that's a pro of the Internet, as you
can find out about people just in a split second.
So I Google this person and it popped up with
a website and all of the work history and all
of your wonderful career achievements. And I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Yeah,
I thought to myself, she's done some stuff. So I
copied the link and I was like, I'll send it
(09:45):
on to I'll send it on to Ben because you'll
be interested to know that she's done some stuff. And
so I copied the link, pasted it into email and wrote, Wow,
she's done some stuff, and sent it off and then
I went, oh, dear god, I just seen her biography.
Back to her, she says some stuffmplementary and what it
(10:08):
could have been worse?
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Yeah, you're right, Yeah, how is she?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
She's gone, she's got nothing to her name.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But then I have her back from and I'm thinking
if I was here able to come back on. Yes, yes,
lady has done some stuff. But you know, in those moments,
you're like, Okay, what are my options here? Calm, breathe deep.
You hit your gain resort to Google, and you're like,
can I suck back emails? Can I siphon them back
from the inbox? You can, but I've only realized that
(10:35):
I should search this sort of two minutes after I
sit in the email. Gmail gives you thirty seconds max.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
You can suck it back out of your inbox because
I've got on my Gmail sixty seconds delay because I've
had the same things in an email before, and I
can cancel it within sixty seconds, which is quite handy.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yeah, because I've done the same thing.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Somebody that had a peel through and I went to
go to my wife go this guy was he thinking
whether it's buddy Bill blah blah blah, and.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
See it straight back to him.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Googling frantically like you what can I do? And he
goes and he replied back, I'll tell you what I'm thinking.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
This is, this is what the.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
This is the cost for this thing, and if you
want to Oh god, he wasn't going to see this.
Great he try bold things a back, great, great, all
sounds about.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Yeah, he's like he's dropped now that I've seen the message.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Oh god, I just wanted to burn my computer and
change my name and move overseas.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Did you send another email being like oh sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So I think you know that lady has done some stuff,
but it sounds like he's not gonna be doing stuff
with us.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
The heads that Jona and Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Old silver and bronze in the rowing, it was incredible
to watch. Just there's three great performances.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, it was a great privilege. Actually earlier in the show,
just after six o'clock for us to be able to
speak to the silver medal winner, one of the silver
medal winners, Ollie McLain, who was one of the the
men's Cox's four rowing team, and I had a chat
to him.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Hey John Oli here, Hey, OLLI, how are you made? Good? Good? Good?
How are you how you well?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
You're doing great? And congratulations silver. That's incredible.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
Yeah, no, pretty stoked. The boys and I were over
the moon.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I beat you. What were you hoping for gold?
Speaker 10 (12:19):
Of course, you know, full credit for the Americans.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Americans, But I mean I'd be stoked with silver bronze,
to be honest. But yeah, I guess you're you're always
aiming for gold. I guess that's what you do.
Speaker 11 (12:36):
What you do with the amount of hours we put
into this, you've got to go for gold.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
What was the race last night? The Americans?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I think it's the first time they've won gold and
rowing for I think, well years and years, right, it
was such a close race between you two. How exhausted, Like,
I know it's probably another stupid question, but how physically exhausted?
Because you guys trained all the time, But how exhausted
are you at the end of a race like that?
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Yeah, after a race like that, you can't really be
you can't really you can't really do anything. And you know,
there's so many emotions going, especially at Olympic Games and
Olympic and Olympic Final, you're just trying to get blood
back into your head. That especially in your legs, you've
got lactic acid pumping through your body. As you get
the body moving again, it all comes back and that's
when we realize, honestly what we've done, and we're super
(13:19):
stoked with it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, we are all so proud of you. Now. Meghan
harly deviled in a bit of rowing over her time,
so we'll little headed over to here. Did do some
rowing jargons, you know, some inside a chat the Omigan
impress them.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Well, I just I remember two thousand meters, but you know,
like you pace yourself and you do your your hard strokes.
But then by the time it looked like the Americans
at the end, there was no like pacing.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You were just flat out. From what point do you reckon?
Speaker 11 (13:45):
I think we knew about four inches ago we started
moving on them, and that's when we made our move.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
You know, it's the Olympic Final, like.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
We got to go, so we just honestly started going
for it. Then we were moving on them, moving on them.
I think we're almost even with them.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
But again.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
The Americans just had that little bit of extra gear
and you know that's that's how they managed to get us.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What do you say, like, are you guys all yelling
at each other and sparring each other as one person talking?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
And how does it work on the boat.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
So Logan, who's our two seet He's the man with
all the calls.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
He's the one that you.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Know, looks around and see where we're at if we
need to make any moves on cruise, any rhythm calls.
He's the man that will will lead the boat. If
I need to say anything, I will.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
I think. I think when we yeah again, when we head.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
Into our last three hundred and two fifty meters, I
just I was saying.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
Believe, believe we can do it. We can do it.
Speaker 11 (14:35):
But there's not much you can say when your heart
rates at about one hundred and ninety two hundred plus.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Wow, the finis of a four is amazing because you
these guys have one ore, so if one person is
stroking hardening than the other, the boat turns, so they
have to be completely in sync because it's coxless.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
These guys are like it was incredible to watch.
Speaker 11 (14:56):
I mean, that's the beautiful thing about for it's all
about symmetry and cohesion. And we we're still a youngest
crew we've been We've only been together for about eighteen months,
so we've just wanted to find Sorry, I love it.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I love it the roor emotion.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I mean, if you want to sell your one Olympics
I mean pilastic question because I watched a few you know,
like metal ceremonies at the Olympics. Everyone gets the medals,
which is incredible, but everyone gets handed like a box
and it looks like, you know, maybe like it's a
Hogwarts wand or something.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Inside it, Like that's that sort of shape. What is
inside that box?
Speaker 11 (15:28):
So it's a poster, but I haven't actually I haven't
actually wrung it out yet, so I'm looking forward to
opening it up.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It feels like a very extravagant packaging for a poster.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Yeah, and I'm just like, what's in the box? What
are they all getting?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm looking.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
I'm looking for it. I have no honestly have no idea.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
What it looks like.
Speaker 11 (15:43):
So you'll be getting the blue.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Tech and sticking that up on the fridge.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
So what happened?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
What happens afterwards, you know, you get your medal, which
must have been so emotional, and then what happens after that?
Speaker 10 (15:56):
So I actually had a drug test? That was that
was an.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Is that is that? Like? Is that like peeing into
a cup sort of situation? That's what it is? Right?
Speaker 10 (16:05):
Yeah? The guy watching me?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah really?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Like you just want so how expecting to celebrate?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Is he like, you know, if you're at the urinal?
Is he like standing steering? Is he just just watching? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (16:19):
I have to drop my pants to my knees. I
have to lift my shirt to my nipples.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
That's really old school, Like you're a five year old
kid at primary school, right.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
That's what I used to do, peeing old school baby.
And all I can keep thinking is those drug testers
have seen the genitals of some of the finest athletes
this world produced, Like they'll be watching TV. I'm seeing
hers hers.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
That might be professional. Yeah, eventually they would.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
Be definitely comparing contracting.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
You don't want to be coming straight after U. S. Sprinter.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
So nice to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Congratulations, As we have seen many times, We're all so
proud of you guys.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
It was incredible to watch so well done.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
Awesome. Thank you so much, guys. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
I'm for a good bit of advice.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Now, this is something you were playing yesterday off the
radio to us, and we need to get this on
the radio because, Yeah, there's a lot of help that
goes around on social media though things you watch his
inspirational videos.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I am starting to detest successful muscley good looking people
telling me how to live my life. Yeah, but I'm
never gonna be as good as you. Now I'm okay
with that. I'm forty two.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
I watched so many of these and I'm like, oh, yeah,
implement that, but most of them I never do. This
is one word, and it's just a word you say
that you can change out for another word that will
change your out look on life.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
So this probably got good. As I said before, it's
middle of winter. Things are a little bit bleak, the
economy is not great, all that sort of stuff. So
maybe this is a fresh way of thinking about things.
From actor Reese Witherspoon.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
Yeah, he was waiting for a train at the train
Sis and he said, you know, I decided this morning
instead of saying I have to wait for the train.
He's like, I get to wait for the train, and
I get to wake up in the morning, and I
get to show her myself, and I get to pick
up my own clothes, and I get to go somewhere
really special for lunch, and I get to have lunch
with my friend. And I get to go home, and
(18:17):
I get to get in my cozy.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Bed changing I have to do. I get to I
get to come to work every day with three of
my mates.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Okay, wow, Okay, that's one from a really motivating thing
to something far less motivating for one of us.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
But as we all look around, like, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I do love Reese with this food. I feel like
she's one of those celebrities you watch and you're like,
I would be great friends with you know, she needs
me and her friend group does only she accepted me
in a free group bully would end it off.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
You thank you. She was like just lovely, really bad.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Just that int with Cameron Diaz when they hang out.
I'm like, I could be the third.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You could be there.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, don't you need that? You and I, you know,
sucking back a few savs. Yeah, I reckon they'd say
something appropriate stuff after Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but that
is good advice. Change I have to to I.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Get to that's yeah, really really good advice to take that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Get to pay texts.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
That's a privilege. There's a real pleasure for.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
And Megan, you have been what you told us about
a little bit of an embarrashment, a little bit of
a lie that you've told your.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Kids for a good reason.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
One of those things when you before you're a parent,
you're like, I will never do this, and then it
gets to being a parent, you're life just breaking all
your own roles.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Caught up on a bloody web of lies. At the
moment before you're trying to tell us the Olympic flame
has been burning since eighteen ninety six.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
That was legit.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Now what have you done here?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So we always said we'd never lie to our kids,
would just be honest.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
But he's never the best policy. They always go on
the best policy. It's not many occasions in life you'll
learn this is probably.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
The most awkward policy, hasn't it?
Speaker 7 (20:03):
And almost four year old is just he just doesn't
want to do anything at the moment, especially wear his
new shoes. So he's got tatty old shoes. But he's
got new ones that are bigger that he can wear,
but he just refuses. So we've resorted to like everything
to try and get him to wear them. But the
thing that I think has worked is I told him
(20:24):
they had magic powers. Now, my best friend comes over
and she gets him to do things by telling him
she's got magic powers. So she's yeah, she sent him
a video and she told him that his new shoes
will make him run fast.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I've wrote your friend into this.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well, he only believes her listen to.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Me, Well, you'd listened to a magician, Megan.
Speaker 14 (20:46):
I think mummy may have spilled the beans already. But
before I left the other day, I did something a
little sneaky, and I put some of my magic powers
into your new shoes. Now you can't tell anybody about
(21:07):
this because this is gonna make you run so fast.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Now, this is amazing. Your friends done this.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
But if she has magic powers, get her to help
out our Olympic e before your son anyone won't running faster.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
So he hopes she's getting into the.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Shoes help in that regard?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Do you think best? She's best? He's like, why is
she telling me this, This is just going to weigh
me down instead of my content. I'm not allowed to
tell anyone that she mum's best friends got magic powers
wear my shoes.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Is he wearing the new shoes?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
He wore the shoes.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yes, that's good. Good result, A good result.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I mean, it's not gonna hurt anyone.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
I asked him yesterday if he ran fast, and he
was like, yeah, So I think he is keeping it
a secret.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Okay. The evil lies that you've told kids, maybe you
were told as a kid.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Also, I think I saw one recently online. This is
quite I don't think i'd do this. This seems a
little bit mean. But a woman was telling her kids
that if they're good all week for five days, then
she'll let them have two days off.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah, so they go to school, whatever it has got
to day here, you're good for five days, get two
days off it.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That is Genie, that's a great Provinually, you grew up
to a point where you're like, well if I meander
through five days of work, I still get the two
days off.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Anyway, everyone's always had these for free.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That John wan Ben podcast talking about the little lies
you told your kids.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
After Megan, you got your friend. You're roped in your
friend to be part of your wibualized.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
She told my son that she'd put magical powers into
his new shoes.
Speaker 14 (22:33):
I think Mummy may have spilled the beans already. But
before I left the other day, I did something a
little sneaky, and I put some of my magic powers
into your new shoes.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
She can come to my house and put some grands
remedy your mind.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
You get the moment.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
I don't know if you ever get the moment where
best of your son will realize that that's obviously, but
I did. Trust has gone then I did remind yeah,
with my mother, my daughter because when she was young,
my wife, she's got her uncle's got a place and
the Gold Coast, and we used to be able to
stay holidays for free. You know there we could go
over and stay in this apartment. So we stayed a
couple of times when they were young, and went to
(23:16):
dream World and there's like Wiggles, Will my daughter love
Wiggles you? And we're like, you go up to the
Wiggles door. If you're knocked, the Wiggles might come out.
Come out. That's what we'd always say to us every
day she's not. We got like a week pass you'd knock.
Not today they didn't come out. I shoul knock again
other Wiggles anyway, obviously the Wiggles are on tour to come.
Last year we took her back at the first time.
She was like, hey, you guys used to make me
knock at this door. Wiggles are never going to come out.
(23:40):
You're like, yeah, sorry, yeah. The whole time though, thinking
about the logistics of a tour.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Now the Wiggles knocking on their door for a week,
you maybe knock at their door mobile times.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
There's always the one of everyone beings on about the
mister Whippy ice we oh, yes if the sirens sounding
the green Sleeve song that it means mister Whippies run
out of ice cream. Yes, which as true riddled It's true,
but also riddled with plot holes where you're like, if
the kids just think about it for a second, go
(24:13):
hold on, what would a guy drive around just going hey,
I'm out of stock, I'm out of stock, just to see,
you know, out of stock.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
It's like an emergency, guys, I can.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Go there with what stock. He doesn't make it. You're right,
you need to ask some questions. Kids, We're going to
get Kirsty on the show. Good morning to you, Kirsty,
good morning.
Speaker 15 (24:36):
How are you going?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Lovely? You have you on? Happy Friday to you?
Speaker 15 (24:40):
Yay?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, full of enthusiasm.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I love it all right.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What's the web of lies? You told you?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Kids?
Speaker 15 (24:48):
So, my daughter is now twelve, she was little, like
four four five years old. We used to tell her
that if she told lies that who knows, would grow
like Pinocchio. So when she was about to start saying
something that might have been a little bit untrue, she
would put her hand over her nose.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
For applying pressure and not let it grow.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
Yeah, you're just.
Speaker 15 (25:13):
Kind of pushing it back in.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
It's a good tell for you. She'd be terrible the casino,
wouldn't you like trying to bluff anyone? But a good
tell for you when you're like, oh, she's definitely lying
about this.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Great cool. Appreciate it, Kursey. Thank you for listening, No worry,
Thank you, thanks for contributing great yeah messages on Facebook
on the heats breakfast, I love this one.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
If you don't dry yourself properly after a bath, we
told our kids you'll grow mold. They still take me
time to dry themselves torture. Some childhoods, yeah, this one
from Terresa. My son wears glasses, but at a young
age where we would kind of and said, I or
your vegs, you won't have to wear glasses anymore. But
then he got to eight and he started saying, these
(25:51):
views must be outdated because they're working on my hot I.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Can't see in one great text here the irony of
telling a lie to a kid of out lying. They
hit a system where they said, if you lie, there'll
be a blue dot on your head. It just appears
and you can't rub it off. You can't hide from
it as well, and so they went the blue dot
there and worked for many years, about twelve years. Twelve
(26:16):
years seems a long time.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
New Flashback Friday on the Olympics st flash looking back
through the Olympics. That just some of the finest scandals
through the Olympic history books and basically every Olympics has
has had its scandal ever since Bloody Old Hitler decided
to host one in the thirties. It was problematic, but
(26:42):
then we always like to focus, and I feel like
the media like to focus in like, oh, the buildings
aren't going to be finished. It's pollution, you know, we
focus on the negative.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
What's going to happen afterwards of these empty stadiums. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I don't care. I'm going to be watching on to
the next one.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Bowl of money.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
What do you want to do with it? But yeah,
looking back through some of the scandal is going to
take you to two thousand. Sydney, speaking of Australia, hosted
the Olympic Games and there was an outcry over an
illegal mascots. They had official mascots which I think were
like a platypus and a kooker barough and then some
two rogue broadcasters they decided to have fats So the
(27:19):
fat Ass wm bet and it really captured the hearts
of the athletes so much so that they were taking
Fatso onto the podium with them. Some of the sweeting
add to get a middle and the head of the
Olympic Committee was asked about that there has been a
mascot that some of the Australian swimmers have been carrying
in called Fatso the Wombat, and there is a suggestion
that perhaps the Ioic it has made some ruling to
(27:39):
a band Fatso. I'm not aware of banning Fetcho, but
the Australian Olympic Committee, you ban Fatso really shaming the
poor warm bet as well.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Have you seen the mascot for this Olympics.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
It's there was sort of red thing. It looks like
a kind of red triangle, sort of bell thing. It's
what is this like a drop of blood or something,
but it's actually like a from a French hat, traditional
French hat stuff.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Well, no, but not a beret. Another hat, good, another.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Has exactly nineteen eighty this was a great scandal Moscow, Russia.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
What that?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
So in the stadium they had these giant, giant doors
and they would shut the doors for other athletes competing
in events like javelin, but then they would open the
doors for the Russian athletes because then that would create
a windflow into the stadium and give them an ad. Yeah,
and they only called onto it too. Everyone else was like, well,
(28:34):
they give you opening and shutting these doors, and they
clipt onto it when it was too late. Twenty sixteen,
take you to Brazil, great scandal. You'll remember the toxic
green diving pool. Oh yes, that's right, with the Rio. Yeah, well,
do they not put chlorine in it? What happened there?
It came out a real toxic shade of green, old mate. Yeah,
the chlorine program was out of whack and they ran
(28:55):
out of chlorine and then Elgill bloom.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Do you remember it?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, it's like nuclear green.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Where good it?
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And the poll right next to it is perfectly yeah?
Oh no.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And one scandal involving us, I don't know. We have
scandals in our history boxes and.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Teacher, yeah, we'd like to ignore a lot of our scandals, right,
I do.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
And that's the best way to do it. But nineteen
seventy six, New Zealand caused a mass boycott of the
Olympics in seventy six, and it was when apartheid was
happening in South Africa and the United Nations had told
most countries, listen, stay away from South Africa, don't kind
of engage with them if they have this apartheid policy.
New Zealand Rugby ignored that did a tour, a rogue
tour of South Africa during that time, and twenty nine
(29:36):
countries then protested and said you need to ban New
Zealand from the Olympics, and the Olympic committee were like,
we can't. Rugby's not on the Olympics. It's out of
our jurisdiction. And so those twenty nine countries didn't compete
in the nineteen seventy six loss because of us.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Did we get more metals per capital?
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, perit Jesus the heads that johonaan ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Listening now, we want to start a topic. Oh eight hundred,
that's New Zealand's biggest winners. There's a lot of winners
happening at the Olympics at the moment.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Wants to be a winner in that competition.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Right, it's right, good time. They're being boys. New Zealand's
biggest competition winners in the industry. I'll pull back the curtain.
We call them price pigs. It's not an offensive term.
I don't see it as.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
A bad Yeah, so I've got me a price bag.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Guys. Why don't use that term?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
No, I use all the time. I'm not afraid to
say it, but I don't. But I don't begrudge them.
Here's the thing. I'll call them prize pigs. But they
are great people who win multiple prizes on radio stations.
They will phone up and they will cry, they will
convulse shudder in their voice on air for like a
hell pizza voucher. And that's all we want is a
(30:52):
radio show. We want tears in emotion and like, if
you can bring that to the radio show, you justerve
three hundred and twenty prizes from the radio station you've run.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Agree when there's a big prize and you hear someone
win it and they're like thank you, Like.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
What, no, in the distortion? I love the phone distortion
as well.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Yeah, well you're right because we don't know through radio.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I mean, now again, we have social videos, but we
just we can only hear your voice.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
So really we really need it in the voice.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So we can look through the prices and we're like, great,
the person's won thirty five prizes. Good on them. They're
a good performer, they're a good winner. And this is
what we want to open up. Eight hundred hats the
most amount of prizes you've won. And I have a
theory that there's only so much winning that the universe
allows for every individual. And I was in great fear
(31:39):
because guns N' Roses sweets Old of Mine, the song
that I personally backed for the Best Song ever competition
that we did over the last three weeks to the final. Right,
got to the final last night against Brian Adams. We're
going to be playing the winner Brian Adams at eight o'clock.
But it got to the final and I was like,
if the universe is only giving me so many, you
(32:00):
don't want want great to have that one.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
But you're right.
Speaker 12 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I was like, I'm innificent for it not to win.
I was like, don't give me this one. I don't
want it to give me lot of give me something
three million this weekend.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, oh no, I didn't get three million, but I
got Guns and Roses, the best song ever.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I kind of wished it away.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
I didn't want that one.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Okay, that's what's the best thing you want?
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Well, two and a half grand I won?
Speaker 3 (32:23):
You were a half grand?
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Yeah? On on a sports bit, a double drawer, a
five dollar bit at five dollars is all I speak.
Can do a lot.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
I don't do a lot of beating, but yeah, it
was one of those games. There was two games on
a day. It was like the Kiwis were playing league,
the All Backs were playing and I was like huge
odds for both games to end in the drawer and
they both had to and I was like, I put
five bucks on it. I think I was at the
tear of my dad and I was put five bucks
on it. And then I was like, oh my got
the first games of drawer. Second game, got gotches. I've
never been more more tense than watching the last couple
(32:50):
of months of that second game.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
And they both ended up.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Two and a half.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
That is a great Then I was like, well maybe
sportspitting netsal. I'm kind of like, yeah, I'm probably never
gonna win again, so I kind.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Of very free bound to it.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, that's you've got your one of your worst. It
was like Cats with their nine lives. You had one
of your wins and used it wise and use it
on Oh well, I've got Guns and Roses the best

amount of stuff? Megan, you were saying why that song
was playing. You won a helicopter flight once. That's cool.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Yeah, when I was younger, it was cool, except my
dad used to work in helicopters, so I actually fly
a lot, so it was kind of like, again, do
I want to use this as one of my wins?
Probably not, and I don't think I've won much.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
So did you did you use it as one of
your wins?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:36):

All of that. So the same behind the scenes person
was giving you the Oh my.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
God, James, James. When he handed me the keys, he said,
nice to see you again, Jordan's James.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
That is phenomenal. What do you put it down to.
I have a theory that the people that do win consistently,
you know, and all the people that do win consistently,
they just bother entering. Most people don't bothering. Yeah, listen,
really appreciate you taking the time to call through a new.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Everyone has that John and Ben podcast Treadible.

in Paddy, Courtney, Daddy welcome.
Speaker 13 (38:25):
Oh Mordan, I think it's more than a there bon
sois here.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Thank you again for having me.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Oh, thank you for I mean I feel like we're
not paying you, but we should be. I mean, you've
been incredible for us. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Don't think us. Yeah, you're filling radio breaks, baby. Now
a big couple of days, but since we last spoke
New Zealand deep into the middle Telly now, Courtney, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Oh it is. And we just knew.
Speaker 13 (38:46):
Once we I think got that first medal, we knew
it was going to pick up over the next couple
of days. And it started with Hayden wild yesterday. I
was lucky enough to be that the triathlon, which I mean,
excuse my pun, but it was the most wild race
I have ever seen.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Yeah, I love a good part. What I also love
as well. I didn't realize he's got that special for
the head band as well. That's like they're worth four
hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
I heard on the news.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
They are a special from a Mexican company, and they
kind of cool you down as well. They've got some
scientific stuff that goes behind and you look cool. At
the same time, he looked pretty cool.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
I did wonder what was on their heads, and then
once I realized how much they were I was thinking,
what if they just leave one here and then I've
got one for the rest of the game because it
is hot.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I've been does get swept up in a topical event.
I feel like you're going to turn up to work
on Monday with the headband.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I have been loving the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Then you were also there for the sevens Black fans
Wahini as well. That must have been just emotional, incredible
scenes Courtney all of.
Speaker 13 (39:39):
The above, and as a former athlete myself had as
one of the most incredible sporting moments I've been able
to witness. And I think they just had so many
stories like Sarah Hidney coming back in record time from
acl Porscha and Tyler, who are two greats of our game,
hanging up the black jersey. There was just so much
to play for and just the elation on their faces
(40:00):
once they knew they had made history and gone back
to back. I've never experienced anything like it before.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
And then the rowers this morning incredible, incredible.
Speaker 13 (40:09):
We've got a gold in the women's double skull, then
we got was it silver in the Cox list for men,
and then in bronze for the women and they were
just flowing with metals. Now, guys, it's great.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Too many, are you? Like from a personal standpoint, you
know you're kind of you're nearly halfway there. There's the
novelty worn off yet, or you're instilled full flight fizz
mode Courtney, once you get.
Speaker 13 (40:30):
To the adventure, in full flight fizz mode. So at
the moment, I'm at the BMX and I'm absolutely fizzy
in But I tell you what, when you're catching two
trains and a bus with all the gear to get
here and it's really hot, you feel like you're competing
in the Olympics yourself, just trying to get through the
crowds to get to moy.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
I bet you get back to your accommodation, it's just
you're sitting silence, just staring.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (40:50):
After the triathlon yesday, because we're in probably forty degree
heat with the sun beaming, and I was thinking, you
have to be crazy to be a triathlete, like, I
can barely just stand to you for all these hours.
I was like, right, going back, had a shower, put
the air con on, and you just lay on the
bed in silence, going, oh what a day. And I
didn't even do anything.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Yeah, Oh, he makes it. That makes it all that
much more impressive. They were running in forty degrees.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
It's crazy what's gone on.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Now.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
What I love is that there's so many great stories
that come out of the Olympics. I don't know if
you saw the guy who's gone viral in the last
twenty four hours. The Turkish shooter. Now, when they're shooting,
they seem to have all these specialized lenses, air protection,
one eye sort of blot with a little flags or
blood blacked out as well.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
He had none of that.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
He just turned up with normal specks, sabers, spectacles, hand
in a pocket and got and he got silver.
Speaker 6 (41:35):
It was incredible.
Speaker 13 (41:36):
It was incredible from Turkey. Everyone's talking about him here.
I'd have to say he's a talk of the town.
They were like, he just rocked up and then I
think one of his coats was I'm a shooter, I
shoot and we were like you sure, did you you
shot your shot and you got silver.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
He raw dogged it. Everyone's like he rawed dog the
shooting and got silver. It was incredible and no help
at all.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
He shot the shot out of it. Is he in
the Turkish mafia or something.
Speaker 6 (41:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
It was a It just looks like a normal guy
that came in and one so incredible.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I mean it's like a Bond villain when he's holding
the yeah handle the pocket through casual.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
So many great moments by that one. The North Korean
and South Korean.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
I think they were table tennis teams getting a selfie
together on the podium. I mean it's those special moments
that the Olympics provide.
Speaker 13 (42:20):
Oh absolutely, And I think that at the moment they're saying,
that's the most significant photo from the Olympics so far,
and I think you can feel that here like I've
been feeling in it. Just it's bringing everyone together. But
I think when you see something as significant as that,
you go, wow, this is pretty incredible what's happening here
and just bringing everyone around the world together.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Everyone thinks it's incredible, apart from Kim Jongon have a
few red flags when they get back, Okay, let's go.
Speaker 6 (42:47):

which is one of the largest food festivals in the
Southern Hemisphere. So it kicked off yesterday. Throughout the month

There was wholesome entertainment. It's in the bad good roll
into town and take over the town hall and then

an intervention with you. You wore a jersey yesterday to
work and didn't notice till after the program that maybe
you might have committed a Christmas crime six months since
the year.
Speaker 4 (00:19):

I don't know if it is a Christmas crime.
Speaker 5 (00:23):

Christmas time. It's a Mickey Mouse jumper. It's a jersey,
it's got Mickey Mouse on it, and down the sleeves
it's got either stars or snowflakes. It's in the Christmas
jumper sort of world. And I do wear it around
Christmas time. But then I'm like, Okay, it's not that
Christmasy and it's too hot at Christmas, so now this
(00:44):
is the perfect time to wear a jumper like that.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
But afterwards you're like, you bring a Christmas jumper?

sleeves will whispering Christmas.

So we checked it out a poll on social didn't
we think. We did all the results on that. We
threw it out to the people.

I think people were okay with it. I mean yeah,
about seventy percent. I mean not quite as I'm not
wanting the best song every with these votes or anything
like that, but yeah, but seventy percent said that you
can wear it.

Different connotations over here are fanny.
Speaker 8 (03:34):
Oh, that's a fupa over here.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
So we call it like a bum bag or a
belt bag or something like that. But a fanny pack
that always makes us laugh.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean it's the leamest sounding term. I mean
they are pretty lambs.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, we can talk for hours about the differences. We've
gotten to call with us from New York. The Olympics.
What a spectacle is it? You've got the celebrities, obviously,
the athletes they're contractually bla much to be there. But
it hasn't It been awesome? It really has.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
And it was funny because I was talking to one
of my friends who was like, the Olympics are so lame,
Like the Olympics are for people who like don't watch
like real sports like football and basketball and baseball during
the year. I was like, are you kidding? I so
look forward to the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's so fun.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I just she's got like it's on the bars.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, so they have she has something on each
apparatus now, like they have like a move named after
her on the bars, on the floor, on the beam,
and on the vault, which is kind of bout us.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
It's really bad. You know, you know you've done well
when they've decided to name a cool move after you.
The other star started team the US means basketball team. Yes,
Lebron James Ki car are you name it? They're all there.
Do you get to interview basketball players.
Speaker 6 (05:02):

O'Neil once, Oh, Shequille O'Neil, Yeah, which was very cool.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He's very large.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
His hand is so big that it can like palm
your head, which is kind of daunting. He's just like
a big, like stuffed animal, like you just want to
hug him.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
He's a really nice guy. Speaking of Simone Balls, have
you seen that photo of Simone Balls nixt to Shaquille O'Neil. Yes, yes, yeah, four.

the greatest of all time, right, she's an incredible athlete, amazing,
But she said to clap back at people who are
hassling her here on social media.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Her hair.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Okay, I'm not gonna lie and I love me Simon.
I did actually say that out loud in my family
when we were watching. I feel like, not like and
I would never say anything to her, but I just
was questioning. I feel like you were on there, You're
in these like amazing leotards, like you're like ready to go.
Her hair's breeded or slipped back, and I feel like
hers looks like she's just like threw it up, like
(06:05):
like I could do that. Here do I feel like
you thought you want it like done pristine for the
freaking Olympics.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
She's done. I'm fifteen minutes late for work.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Here do yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
She said?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
She said.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
It's also like nine thousand degrees, so she's like, I
did it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
But then the humidity's go gotcha?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Okay, So currently, right now I'm having a lock. When
we're talking to you, guys America US say twenty six medals?
Have I guess how many you think New Zealand's won
at the Olympics so far?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh no, I'm going to fifteen.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That's so generous, thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Maybe by the end of it we got two. Currently
we've got a silver and the triathlon and one gold.
Amazing performance by our woman seven s rugby team which
was incredible, but you know, just just one.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Stuck on quantity though then he's so like, but like,
what else is there?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
It is about.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Quantity the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
All we tend to do is a very small nation.
At some point during the Olympics, we'll start to break
down the middle wines per capita, so and then that
really that puts us sort of inside the top twenty.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
We have like five million people in New Zealands. It's
pretty good. Ten medals for five million people.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
You do whatever you need to do to make yourself
feel better. But I mean, it really isn't fair when
you're like, you don't have as many people, so there's
not many as many options. No, so you know what,
you guys get the participation Trophy.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Thank you, Oh Nicole. I'll be catching up with you

Speaker 3 (07:30):
As I mentioned before, probably the worst email crime I
have committed been emailing for How long has email been around? Well,
we've been active on it for twenty years or so,
it's been around a while.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, I feel like you've had a few faux pas.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
We hit you up about always replying all being like
legionds to everyone.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'll stop there now. You notice I've stopped that because
you made me all self conscious about that.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
You just fire them off in a frenzy. Yeah, yeah,
baararge of emails. Megan and I know about it because
often we're on the same email so all of a sudden,
it's all coming.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Through verretic retic.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
But yeah, I'd write a lot of my messages and
caps as they start in caps, and then the final
because I'm not looking at the screen that ends in
a lower case leader. I'm like, oh, I don't know
how to change that.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Isn't there a highlight and a hot key?
Speaker 6 (08:13):
Probably?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I think there is cries a little bit more work.
He's like, I don't worry about her.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
They get them as long as you get in the message.
So who gives about the full meeting? But a big
crime yesterday now being this was business transaction going back
and forth between you were on the email between us
and and a lady in Australia and trans Tasmin. So
I don't even know this woman, No, I have no
idea who she is?
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Well you do, I mean you know that someone that
we'd like to get to. You wanted to impressed, right, And.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'd finished the email and then afterwards I was like, oh,
I might try and find out a bit more information
about her, you know, just you know her work history.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're doing a background chap?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeahs would do you do those?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Catch a vibe on someone and you know it was
the next time you're having small talk, you can bring
something up.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's also quite helpful too, because we had to do
something other night, John O and I and we didn't
know we hadn't met the person. Well to me reminder,
We're like, what's that person look like? We both sort
of screenshot of the photo and then we both showed
each other and we're like, totally different people.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
So one of us was totally wrong.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, We're like, oh, it's either this person or that person,
but we don't know you're right. I think I was
right at the end, but it was like, very well,
I was looking for a completely different person.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I never found them, but that's in the endnet there's
a great that's a pro of the Internet, as you
can find out about people just in a split second.
So I Google this person and it popped up with
a website and all of the work history and all
of your wonderful career achievements. And I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Yeah,
I thought to myself, she's done some stuff. So I
copied the link and I was like, I'll send it
(09:45):
on to I'll send it on to Ben because you'll
be interested to know that she's done some stuff. And
so I copied the link, pasted it into email and wrote, Wow,
she's done some stuff, and sent it off and then
I went, oh, dear god, I just seen her biography.
Back to her, she says some stuffmplementary and what it
(10:08):
could have been worse?
Speaker 7 (10:09):
Yeah, you're right, Yeah, how is she?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
She's gone, she's got nothing to her name.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But then I have her back from and I'm thinking
if I was here able to come back on. Yes, yes,
lady has done some stuff. But you know, in those moments,
you're like, Okay, what are my options here? Calm, breathe deep.
You hit your gain resort to Google, and you're like,
can I suck back emails? Can I siphon them back
from the inbox? You can, but I've only realized that
(10:35):
I should search this sort of two minutes after I
sit in the email. Gmail gives you thirty seconds max.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
You can suck it back out of your inbox because
I've got on my Gmail sixty seconds delay because I've
had the same things in an email before, and I
can cancel it within sixty seconds, which is quite handy.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yeah, because I've done the same thing.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Somebody that had a peel through and I went to
go to my wife go this guy was he thinking
whether it's buddy Bill blah blah blah, and.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
See it straight back to him.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Googling frantically like you what can I do? And he
goes and he replied back, I'll tell you what I'm thinking.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
This is, this is what the.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
This is the cost for this thing, and if you
want to Oh god, he wasn't going to see this.
Great he try bold things a back, great, great, all
sounds about.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Yeah, he's like he's dropped now that I've seen the message.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Oh god, I just wanted to burn my computer and
change my name and move overseas.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Did you send another email being like oh sorry.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So I think you know that lady has done some stuff,
but it sounds like he's not gonna be doing stuff
with us.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
The heads that Jona and Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Old silver and bronze in the rowing, it was incredible
to watch. Just there's three great performances.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, it was a great privilege. Actually earlier in the show,
just after six o'clock for us to be able to
speak to the silver medal winner, one of the silver
medal winners, Ollie McLain, who was one of the the
men's Cox's four rowing team, and I had a chat
to him.
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Hey John Oli here, Hey, OLLI, how are you made? Good? Good? Good?
How are you how you well?
Speaker 6 (12:10):
You're doing great? And congratulations silver. That's incredible.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
Yeah, no, pretty stoked. The boys and I were over
the moon.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I beat you. What were you hoping for gold?
Speaker 10 (12:19):
Of course, you know, full credit for the Americans.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Americans, But I mean I'd be stoked with silver bronze,
to be honest. But yeah, I guess you're you're always
aiming for gold. I guess that's what you do.
Speaker 11 (12:36):
What you do with the amount of hours we put
into this, you've got to go for gold.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
What was the race last night? The Americans?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I think it's the first time they've won gold and
rowing for I think, well years and years, right, it
was such a close race between you two. How exhausted, Like,
I know it's probably another stupid question, but how physically exhausted?
Because you guys trained all the time, But how exhausted
are you at the end of a race like that?
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Yeah, after a race like that, you can't really be
you can't really you can't really do anything. And you know,
there's so many emotions going, especially at Olympic Games and
Olympic and Olympic Final, you're just trying to get blood
back into your head. That especially in your legs, you've
got lactic acid pumping through your body. As you get
the body moving again, it all comes back and that's
when we realize, honestly what we've done, and we're super
(13:19):
stoked with it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Well, we are all so proud of you. Now. Meghan
harly deviled in a bit of rowing over her time,
so we'll little headed over to here. Did do some
rowing jargons, you know, some inside a chat the Omigan
impress them.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Well, I just I remember two thousand meters, but you know,
like you pace yourself and you do your your hard strokes.
But then by the time it looked like the Americans
at the end, there was no like pacing.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You were just flat out. From what point do you reckon?
Speaker 11 (13:45):
I think we knew about four inches ago we started
moving on them, and that's when we made our move.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
You know, it's the Olympic Final, like.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
We got to go, so we just honestly started going
for it. Then we were moving on them, moving on them.
I think we're almost even with them.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
But again.
Speaker 11 (14:00):
The Americans just had that little bit of extra gear
and you know that's that's how they managed to get us.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
What do you say, like, are you guys all yelling
at each other and sparring each other as one person talking?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
And how does it work on the boat.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
So Logan, who's our two seet He's the man with
all the calls.
Speaker 10 (14:16):
He's the one that you.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Know, looks around and see where we're at if we
need to make any moves on cruise, any rhythm calls.
He's the man that will will lead the boat. If
I need to say anything, I will.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
I think. I think when we yeah again, when we head.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
Into our last three hundred and two fifty meters, I
just I was saying.
Speaker 10 (14:33):
Believe, believe we can do it. We can do it.
Speaker 11 (14:35):
But there's not much you can say when your heart
rates at about one hundred and ninety two hundred plus.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Wow, the finis of a four is amazing because you
these guys have one ore, so if one person is
stroking hardening than the other, the boat turns, so they
have to be completely in sync because it's coxless.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
These guys are like it was incredible to watch.
Speaker 11 (14:56):
I mean, that's the beautiful thing about for it's all
about symmetry and cohesion. And we we're still a youngest
crew we've been We've only been together for about eighteen months,
so we've just wanted to find Sorry, I love it.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I love it the roor emotion.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I mean, if you want to sell your one Olympics
I mean pilastic question because I watched a few you know,
like metal ceremonies at the Olympics. Everyone gets the medals,
which is incredible, but everyone gets handed like a box
and it looks like, you know, maybe like it's a
Hogwarts wand or something.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Inside it, Like that's that sort of shape. What is
inside that box?
Speaker 11 (15:28):
So it's a poster, but I haven't actually I haven't
actually wrung it out yet, so I'm looking forward to
opening it up.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It feels like a very extravagant packaging for a poster.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Yeah, and I'm just like, what's in the box? What
are they all getting?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm looking.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
I'm looking for it. I have no honestly have no idea.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
What it looks like.
Speaker 11 (15:43):
So you'll be getting the blue.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Tech and sticking that up on the fridge.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
So what happened?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
What happens afterwards, you know, you get your medal, which
must have been so emotional, and then what happens after that?
Speaker 10 (15:56):
So I actually had a drug test? That was that
was an.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Is that is that? Like? Is that like peeing into
a cup sort of situation? That's what it is? Right?
Speaker 10 (16:05):
Yeah? The guy watching me?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah really?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Like you just want so how expecting to celebrate?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Is he like, you know, if you're at the urinal?
Is he like standing steering? Is he just just watching? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (16:19):
I have to drop my pants to my knees. I
have to lift my shirt to my nipples.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
That's really old school, Like you're a five year old
kid at primary school, right.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
That's what I used to do, peeing old school baby.
And all I can keep thinking is those drug testers
have seen the genitals of some of the finest athletes
this world produced, Like they'll be watching TV. I'm seeing
hers hers.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
That might be professional. Yeah, eventually they would.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
Be definitely comparing contracting.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
You don't want to be coming straight after U. S. Sprinter.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
So nice to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Congratulations, As we have seen many times, We're all so
proud of you guys.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
It was incredible to watch so well done.
Speaker 10 (17:07):
Awesome. Thank you so much, guys. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
I'm for a good bit of advice.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Now, this is something you were playing yesterday off the
radio to us, and we need to get this on
the radio because, Yeah, there's a lot of help that
goes around on social media though things you watch his
inspirational videos.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I am starting to detest successful muscley good looking people
telling me how to live my life. Yeah, but I'm
never gonna be as good as you. Now I'm okay
with that. I'm forty two.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
I watched so many of these and I'm like, oh, yeah,
implement that, but most of them I never do. This
is one word, and it's just a word you say
that you can change out for another word that will
change your out look on life.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
So this probably got good. As I said before, it's
middle of winter. Things are a little bit bleak, the
economy is not great, all that sort of stuff. So
maybe this is a fresh way of thinking about things.
From actor Reese Witherspoon.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
Yeah, he was waiting for a train at the train
Sis and he said, you know, I decided this morning
instead of saying I have to wait for the train.
He's like, I get to wait for the train, and
I get to wake up in the morning, and I
get to show her myself, and I get to pick
up my own clothes, and I get to go somewhere
really special for lunch, and I get to have lunch
with my friend. And I get to go home, and
(18:17):
I get to get in my cozy.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Bed changing I have to do. I get to I
get to come to work every day with three of
my mates.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Okay, wow, Okay, that's one from a really motivating thing
to something far less motivating for one of us.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
But as we all look around, like, okay.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I do love Reese with this food. I feel like
she's one of those celebrities you watch and you're like,
I would be great friends with you know, she needs
me and her friend group does only she accepted me
in a free group bully would end it off.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
You thank you. She was like just lovely, really bad.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Just that int with Cameron Diaz when they hang out.
I'm like, I could be the third.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
You could be there.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, don't you need that? You and I, you know,
sucking back a few savs. Yeah, I reckon they'd say
something appropriate stuff after Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but that
is good advice. Change I have to to I.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Get to that's yeah, really really good advice to take that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Get to pay texts.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
That's a privilege. There's a real pleasure for.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
And Megan, you have been what you told us about
a little bit of an embarrashment, a little bit of
a lie that you've told your.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Kids for a good reason.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
One of those things when you before you're a parent,
you're like, I will never do this, and then it
gets to being a parent, you're life just breaking all
your own roles.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Caught up on a bloody web of lies. At the
moment before you're trying to tell us the Olympic flame
has been burning since eighteen ninety six.
Speaker 13 (19:47):
That was legit.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Now what have you done here?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
So we always said we'd never lie to our kids,
would just be honest.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
But he's never the best policy. They always go on
the best policy. It's not many occasions in life you'll
learn this is probably.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
The most awkward policy, hasn't it?
Speaker 7 (20:03):
And almost four year old is just he just doesn't
want to do anything at the moment, especially wear his
new shoes. So he's got tatty old shoes. But he's
got new ones that are bigger that he can wear,
but he just refuses. So we've resorted to like everything
to try and get him to wear them. But the
thing that I think has worked is I told him
(20:24):
they had magic powers. Now, my best friend comes over
and she gets him to do things by telling him
she's got magic powers. So she's yeah, she sent him
a video and she told him that his new shoes
will make him run fast.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I've wrote your friend into this.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well, he only believes her listen to.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Me, Well, you'd listened to a magician, Megan.
Speaker 14 (20:46):
I think mummy may have spilled the beans already. But
before I left the other day, I did something a
little sneaky, and I put some of my magic powers
into your new shoes. Now you can't tell anybody about
(21:07):
this because this is gonna make you run so fast.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Now, this is amazing. Your friends done this.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
But if she has magic powers, get her to help
out our Olympic e before your son anyone won't running faster.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
So he hopes she's getting into the.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Shoes help in that regard?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Do you think best? She's best? He's like, why is
she telling me this, This is just going to weigh
me down instead of my content. I'm not allowed to
tell anyone that she mum's best friends got magic powers
wear my shoes.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Is he wearing the new shoes?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
He wore the shoes.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yes, that's good. Good result, A good result.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I mean, it's not gonna hurt anyone.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
I asked him yesterday if he ran fast, and he
was like, yeah, So I think he is keeping it
a secret.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Okay. The evil lies that you've told kids, maybe you
were told as a kid.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Also, I think I saw one recently online. This is
quite I don't think i'd do this. This seems a
little bit mean. But a woman was telling her kids
that if they're good all week for five days, then
she'll let them have two days off.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah, so they go to school, whatever it has got
to day here, you're good for five days, get two
days off it.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
That is Genie, that's a great Provinually, you grew up
to a point where you're like, well if I meander
through five days of work, I still get the two
days off.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Anyway, everyone's always had these for free.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That John wan Ben podcast talking about the little lies
you told your kids.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
After Megan, you got your friend. You're roped in your
friend to be part of your wibualized.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
She told my son that she'd put magical powers into
his new shoes.
Speaker 14 (22:33):
I think Mummy may have spilled the beans already. But
before I left the other day, I did something a
little sneaky, and I put some of my magic powers
into your new shoes.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
She can come to my house and put some grands
remedy your mind.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
You get the moment.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
I don't know if you ever get the moment where
best of your son will realize that that's obviously, but
I did. Trust has gone then I did remind yeah,
with my mother, my daughter because when she was young,
my wife, she's got her uncle's got a place and
the Gold Coast, and we used to be able to
stay holidays for free. You know there we could go
over and stay in this apartment. So we stayed a
couple of times when they were young, and went to
(23:16):
dream World and there's like Wiggles, Will my daughter love
Wiggles you? And we're like, you go up to the
Wiggles door. If you're knocked, the Wiggles might come out.
Come out. That's what we'd always say to us every
day she's not. We got like a week pass you'd knock.
Not today they didn't come out. I shoul knock again
other Wiggles anyway, obviously the Wiggles are on tour to come.
Last year we took her back at the first time.
She was like, hey, you guys used to make me
knock at this door. Wiggles are never going to come out.
(23:40):
You're like, yeah, sorry, yeah. The whole time though, thinking
about the logistics of a tour.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Now the Wiggles knocking on their door for a week,
you maybe knock at their door mobile times.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
There's always the one of everyone beings on about the
mister Whippy ice we oh, yes if the sirens sounding
the green Sleeve song that it means mister Whippies run
out of ice cream. Yes, which as true riddled It's true,
but also riddled with plot holes where you're like, if
the kids just think about it for a second, go
(24:13):
hold on, what would a guy drive around just going hey,
I'm out of stock, I'm out of stock, just to see,
you know, out of stock.
Speaker 6 (24:21):
It's like an emergency, guys, I can.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Go there with what stock. He doesn't make it. You're right,
you need to ask some questions. Kids, We're going to
get Kirsty on the show. Good morning to you, Kirsty,
good morning.
Speaker 15 (24:36):
How are you going?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Lovely? You have you on? Happy Friday to you?

Yay?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, full of enthusiasm.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
I love it all right.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What's the web of lies? You told you?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
Kids?
Speaker 15 (24:48):
So, my daughter is now twelve, she was little, like
four four five years old. We used to tell her
that if she told lies that who knows, would grow
like Pinocchio. So when she was about to start saying
something that might have been a little bit untrue, she
would put her hand over her nose.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
For applying pressure and not let it grow.
Speaker 10 (25:13):
Yeah, you're just.
Speaker 15 (25:13):
Kind of pushing it back in.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
It's a good tell for you. She'd be terrible the casino,
wouldn't you like trying to bluff anyone? But a good
tell for you when you're like, oh, she's definitely lying
about this.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Great cool. Appreciate it, Kursey. Thank you for listening, No worry,
Thank you, thanks for contributing great yeah messages on Facebook
on the heats breakfast, I love this one.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
If you don't dry yourself properly after a bath, we
told our kids you'll grow mold. They still take me
time to dry themselves torture. Some childhoods, yeah, this one
from Terresa. My son wears glasses, but at a young
age where we would kind of and said, I or
your vegs, you won't have to wear glasses anymore. But
then he got to eight and he started saying, these
(25:51):
views must be outdated because they're working on my hot I.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Can't see in one great text here the irony of
telling a lie to a kid of out lying. They
hit a system where they said, if you lie, there'll
be a blue dot on your head. It just appears
and you can't rub it off. You can't hide from
it as well, and so they went the blue dot
there and worked for many years, about twelve years. Twelve
(26:16):
years seems a long time.

New Flashback Friday on the Olympics st flash looking back

through the Olympic history books and basically every Olympics has
has had its scandal ever since Bloody Old Hitler decided
to host one in the thirties. It was problematic, but
(26:42):
then we always like to focus, and I feel like
the media like to focus in like, oh, the buildings
aren't going to be finished. It's pollution, you know, we
focus on the negative.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
What's going to happen afterwards of these empty stadiums. I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I don't care. I'm going to be watching on to
the next one.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Bowl of money.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
What do you want to do with it? But yeah,
looking back through some of the scandal is going to
take you to two thousand. Sydney, speaking of Australia, hosted
the Olympic Games and there was an outcry over an
illegal mascots. They had official mascots which I think were
like a platypus and a kooker barough and then some
two rogue broadcasters they decided to have fats So the
(27:19):
fat Ass wm bet and it really captured the hearts
of the athletes so much so that they were taking
Fatso onto the podium with them. Some of the sweeting
add to get a middle and the head of the
Olympic Committee was asked about that there has been a
mascot that some of the Australian swimmers have been carrying
in called Fatso the Wombat, and there is a suggestion
that perhaps the Ioic it has made some ruling to
(27:39):
a band Fatso. I'm not aware of banning Fetcho, but
the Australian Olympic Committee, you ban Fatso really shaming the
poor warm bet as well.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Have you seen the mascot for this Olympics.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
It's there was sort of red thing. It looks like
a kind of red triangle, sort of bell thing. It's
what is this like a drop of blood or something,
but it's actually like a from a French hat, traditional
French hat stuff.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Well, no, but not a beret. Another hat, good, another.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Has exactly nineteen eighty this was a great scandal Moscow, Russia.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
What that?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
So in the stadium they had these giant, giant doors
and they would shut the doors for other athletes competing
in events like javelin, but then they would open the
doors for the Russian athletes because then that would create
a windflow into the stadium and give them an ad. Yeah,
and they only called onto it too. Everyone else was like, well,
(28:34):
they give you opening and shutting these doors, and they
clipt onto it when it was too late. Twenty sixteen,
take you to Brazil, great scandal. You'll remember the toxic
green diving pool. Oh yes, that's right, with the Rio. Yeah, well,
do they not put chlorine in it? What happened there?
It came out a real toxic shade of green, old mate. Yeah,
the chlorine program was out of whack and they ran
(28:55):
out of chlorine and then Elgill bloom.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Do you remember it?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, it's like nuclear green.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Where good it?
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And the poll right next to it is perfectly yeah?
Oh no.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
And one scandal involving us, I don't know. We have
scandals in our history boxes and.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Teacher, yeah, we'd like to ignore a lot of our scandals, right,
I do.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
And that's the best way to do it. But nineteen
seventy six, New Zealand caused a mass boycott of the
Olympics in seventy six, and it was when apartheid was
happening in South Africa and the United Nations had told
most countries, listen, stay away from South Africa, don't kind
of engage with them if they have this apartheid policy.
New Zealand Rugby ignored that did a tour, a rogue
tour of South Africa during that time, and twenty nine
(29:36):
countries then protested and said you need to ban New
Zealand from the Olympics, and the Olympic committee were like,
we can't. Rugby's not on the Olympics. It's out of
our jurisdiction. And so those twenty nine countries didn't compete
in the nineteen seventy six loss because of us.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Did we get more metals per capital?
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, perit Jesus the heads that johonaan ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Listening now, we want to start a topic. Oh eight hundred,
that's New Zealand's biggest winners. There's a lot of winners
happening at the Olympics at the moment.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Wants to be a winner in that competition.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Right, it's right, good time. They're being boys. New Zealand's
biggest competition winners in the industry. I'll pull back the curtain.
We call them price pigs. It's not an offensive term.
I don't see it as.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
A bad Yeah, so I've got me a price bag.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Guys. Why don't use that term?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
No, I use all the time. I'm not afraid to
say it, but I don't. But I don't begrudge them.
Here's the thing. I'll call them prize pigs. But they
are great people who win multiple prizes on radio stations.
They will phone up and they will cry, they will
convulse shudder in their voice on air for like a
hell pizza voucher. And that's all we want is a
(30:52):
radio show. We want tears in emotion and like, if
you can bring that to the radio show, you justerve
three hundred and twenty prizes from the radio station you've run.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Agree when there's a big prize and you hear someone
win it and they're like thank you, Like.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
What, no, in the distortion? I love the phone distortion
as well.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Yeah, well you're right because we don't know through radio.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I mean, now again, we have social videos, but we
just we can only hear your voice.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
So really we really need it in the voice.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So we can look through the prices and we're like, great,
the person's won thirty five prizes. Good on them. They're
a good performer, they're a good winner. And this is
what we want to open up. Eight hundred hats the
most amount of prizes you've won. And I have a
theory that there's only so much winning that the universe
allows for every individual. And I was in great fear
(31:39):
because guns N' Roses sweets Old of Mine, the song
that I personally backed for the Best Song ever competition
that we did over the last three weeks to the final. Right,
got to the final last night against Brian Adams. We're
going to be playing the winner Brian Adams at eight o'clock.
But it got to the final and I was like,
if the universe is only giving me so many, you
(32:00):
don't want want great to have that one.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
But you're right.
Speaker 12 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I was like, I'm innificent for it not to win.
I was like, don't give me this one. I don't
want it to give me lot of give me something
three million this weekend.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, oh no, I didn't get three million, but I
got Guns and Roses, the best song ever.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I kind of wished it away.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
I didn't want that one.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Okay, that's what's the best thing you want?
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Well, two and a half grand I won?
Speaker 3 (32:23):
You were a half grand?
Speaker 6 (32:24):
Yeah? On on a sports bit, a double drawer, a
five dollar bit at five dollars is all I speak.
Can do a lot.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
I don't do a lot of beating, but yeah, it
was one of those games. There was two games on
a day. It was like the Kiwis were playing league,
the All Backs were playing and I was like huge
odds for both games to end in the drawer and
they both had to and I was like, I put
five bucks on it. I think I was at the
tear of my dad and I was put five bucks
on it. And then I was like, oh my got
the first games of drawer. Second game, got gotches. I've
never been more more tense than watching the last couple
(32:50):
of months of that second game.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
And they both ended up.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Two and a half.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
That is a great Then I was like, well maybe
sportspitting netsal. I'm kind of like, yeah, I'm probably never
gonna win again, so I kind.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Of very free bound to it.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, that's you've got your one of your worst. It
was like Cats with their nine lives. You had one
of your wins and used it wise and use it
on Oh well, I've got Guns and Roses the best
song ever. I guess that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
The hits that jhonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Want to talk the biggest winners. Who's won the most
amount of stuff? Megan, you were saying why that song
was playing. You won a helicopter flight once. That's cool.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Yeah, when I was younger, it was cool, except my
dad used to work in helicopters, so I actually fly
a lot, so it was kind of like, again, do
I want to use this as one of my wins?
Probably not, and I don't think I've won much.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
So did you did you use it as one of
your wins?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah, I did take the flight.
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Yeah, we can't. Probably once you won it, it's probably
can't see. Yeah, I don't want this name.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
I know you sound like a dog if you're like, oh, yeah, okay,
I'm in a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Again, did you appreciate Not really, not as much as
someone who hadn't been in the helicopter or what So
the biggest Winners It takes four to four eight seven,
eight hundred hits is the telephone number on very special
listener joining the show. Now we understand phoning in, phoning
into New Zealand's breakfast, sitting on the bow of one
(34:08):
hundred million dollar super yacht somewhere floating around. Where are
you at the moment?
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Sorry, Jordan, I'm in Sardinia off the coast of Italy.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
God it does it doesn't sound as good as a
bleak Friday morning with a weather's cold and where we
are in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Give me Moren's mill any day of the week.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
What do you do.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
What do you what are you doing one hundred million
dollars super off the coast of Italy.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
I'm I work for a private family. I'm a service start.
I do food, drink, oysters, champagne.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
And so this family, like, I don't want to pry
too much into your job. And you're and you can
tell tell us how much you can tell us. But
is this family? Are they on the boat often? Or
are they there for like a WEEKI year?
Speaker 6 (34:57):
How does it go? How does it work?
Speaker 5 (34:58):
So they come on for four months a year? So
they came on the on the twenty sixth of May
and I've been on since. So no days off, no breaks,
it's just that's about one hundred and twenty days, all
that straight through. So we're halfway through now.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
And then what do you what do you do when
they're not there? Is it just your boat?
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Kind of? But we are stuck in the stuck in
the crew areas. Unfortunately, the gift area that out of bounds, glamorous.
It sounds seventy three meters.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
Oh yeah, it's pretty big.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
It's a big, pretty big. Oh you don't have names,
we don't have to name names. Slips hit, some sli.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
No, no, no, just a private, humble family.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
So humble.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
Yeah, well that sounds like that sounds like a win.
We are talking about weds today. That always sounds like
a when what you're doing for a job. But apparently
you've had a few wins over the years.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Look, I have had a few wins. I do love
myself a competition, So there's some.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
It's just in some people.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Was d n A.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Yeah, yeah it really is. Yeah I won. I won
my first radio competition in twenty thirteen. I think it
was on the Edge called the Social Games.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
If anyone remembers, I do remember that?
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Were you on the age then? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Yeah, no, I can't remember. I think JJ Mike Control
we're doing that part. I believe I can't really remember.
It was eleven years ago. Now I'm sticking.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
But yeah, where do you win for the Social Games?
What was the price?
Speaker 5 (36:30):
I won? Twenty g's.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Wow, she SAIDs awesome, twenty great And is that the
only thing you've won?
Speaker 11 (36:40):

Mother's Days VM, which is starting, I'm boring.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Yourself around the radio station.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (36:55):
Can week out to what we work for review?
Speaker 5 (36:57):
Yeah, we're doing a doing a piece, so they were
giving a brand new audi away and yeah, I also
won that, Jordan. I feel like you're remember. Sorry, I
will say the producer that gave me the briefcase full
(37:18):
of money on the edge had obviously done a transition,
and he was also the one to give me the
keys to the Ardea. It was quite poetic.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
I think I remember.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
All of that. So the same behind the scenes person
was giving you the Oh my.
Speaker 5 (37:32):
God, James, James. When he handed me the keys, he said,
nice to see you again, Jordan's James.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
That is phenomenal. What do you put it down to.
I have a theory that the people that do win consistently,
you know, and all the people that do win consistently,
they just bother entering. Most people don't bothering. Yeah, listen,
really appreciate you taking the time to call through a new.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Everyone has that John and Ben podcast Treadible.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Twenty four hours for the Paris Olympics. We've got a gold,

Tyety forgets Emily and Patty. It's court me to me
in Paddy, Courtney, Daddy welcome.
Speaker 13 (38:25):
Oh Mordan, I think it's more than a there bon
sois here.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Thank you again for having me.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Oh, thank you for I mean I feel like we're
not paying you, but we should be. I mean, you've
been incredible for us. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Don't think us. Yeah, you're filling radio breaks, baby. Now
a big couple of days, but since we last spoke
New Zealand deep into the middle Telly now, Courtney, it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Oh it is. And we just knew.
Speaker 13 (38:46):
Once we I think got that first medal, we knew
it was going to pick up over the next couple
of days. And it started with Hayden wild yesterday. I
was lucky enough to be that the triathlon, which I mean,
excuse my pun, but it was the most wild race
I have ever seen.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Yeah, I love a good part. What I also love
as well. I didn't realize he's got that special for
the head band as well. That's like they're worth four
hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
I heard on the news.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
They are a special from a Mexican company, and they
kind of cool you down as well. They've got some
scientific stuff that goes behind and you look cool. At
the same time, he looked pretty cool.
Speaker 13 (39:16):
I did wonder what was on their heads, and then
once I realized how much they were I was thinking,
what if they just leave one here and then I've
got one for the rest of the game because it
is hot.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I've been does get swept up in a topical event.
I feel like you're going to turn up to work
on Monday with the headband.
Speaker 6 (39:30):
I have been loving the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Then you were also there for the sevens Black fans
Wahini as well. That must have been just emotional, incredible
scenes Courtney all of.
Speaker 13 (39:39):
The above, and as a former athlete myself had as
one of the most incredible sporting moments I've been able
to witness. And I think they just had so many
stories like Sarah Hidney coming back in record time from
acl Porscha and Tyler, who are two greats of our game,
hanging up the black jersey. There was just so much
to play for and just the elation on their faces
(40:00):
once they knew they had made history and gone back
to back. I've never experienced anything like it before.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
And then the rowers this morning incredible, incredible.
Speaker 13 (40:09):
We've got a gold in the women's double skull, then
we got was it silver in the Cox list for men,
and then in bronze for the women and they were
just flowing with metals. Now, guys, it's great.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Too many, are you? Like from a personal standpoint, you
know you're kind of you're nearly halfway there. There's the
novelty worn off yet, or you're instilled full flight fizz
mode Courtney, once you get.
Speaker 13 (40:30):
To the adventure, in full flight fizz mode. So at
the moment, I'm at the BMX and I'm absolutely fizzy
in But I tell you what, when you're catching two
trains and a bus with all the gear to get
here and it's really hot, you feel like you're competing
in the Olympics yourself, just trying to get through the
crowds to get to moy.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
I bet you get back to your accommodation, it's just
you're sitting silence, just staring.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (40:50):
After the triathlon yesday, because we're in probably forty degree
heat with the sun beaming, and I was thinking, you
have to be crazy to be a triathlete, like, I
can barely just stand to you for all these hours.
I was like, right, going back, had a shower, put
the air con on, and you just lay on the
bed in silence, going, oh what a day. And I
didn't even do anything.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Yeah, Oh, he makes it. That makes it all that
much more impressive. They were running in forty degrees.
Speaker 6 (41:11):
It's crazy what's gone on.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Now.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
What I love is that there's so many great stories
that come out of the Olympics. I don't know if
you saw the guy who's gone viral in the last
twenty four hours. The Turkish shooter. Now, when they're shooting,
they seem to have all these specialized lenses, air protection,
one eye sort of blot with a little flags or
blood blacked out as well.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
He had none of that.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
He just turned up with normal specks, sabers, spectacles, hand
in a pocket and got and he got silver.
Speaker 6 (41:35):
It was incredible.
Speaker 13 (41:36):
It was incredible from Turkey. Everyone's talking about him here.
I'd have to say he's a talk of the town.
They were like, he just rocked up and then I
think one of his coats was I'm a shooter, I
shoot and we were like you sure, did you you
shot your shot and you got silver.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
He raw dogged it. Everyone's like he rawed dog the
shooting and got silver. It was incredible and no help
at all.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
He shot the shot out of it. Is he in
the Turkish mafia or something.
Speaker 6 (41:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
It was a It just looks like a normal guy
that came in and one so incredible.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
I mean it's like a Bond villain when he's holding
the yeah handle the pocket through casual.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
So many great moments by that one. The North Korean
and South Korean.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
I think they were table tennis teams getting a selfie
together on the podium. I mean it's those special moments
that the Olympics provide.
Speaker 13 (42:20):
Oh absolutely, And I think that at the moment they're saying,
that's the most significant photo from the Olympics so far,
and I think you can feel that here like I've
been feeling in it. Just it's bringing everyone together. But
I think when you see something as significant as that,
you go, wow, this is pretty incredible what's happening here
and just bringing everyone around the world together.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Everyone thinks it's incredible, apart from Kim Jongon have a
few red flags when they get back, Okay, let's go.
Speaker 6 (42:47):
We're heading into the weekend as well.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
Everyone in New Zealand's very excited about a few days
to watch what's on the next couple of days that
we can look forward to.
Speaker 13 (42:56):
Yeah, we've got some swimming finals in a couple of hours. Actually,
we've got more BMX. We've got more rowing again tomorrow,
so hopefully you know, some more metals fingers crossed. And
then the athletics starts tomorrow too, so you'll have Zoe
Hobbs there tom wash, all the athletes part of our
athletics team competing, which you know they're in pretty good
contention to be up there in the finals, So I

like thirty four events. Yeah, it's incredible, So a busy

was really slow and would stroke every August.
Speaker 17 (45:27):
So we have Wellington on a Plate now every year,
which is one of the largest food festivals in the
Southern Hemisphere. So it kicked off yesterday. Throughout the month
of August, we have got two hundred different types of
crazy burgers. There's one hundred different food events. I went
to one last night was brilliant. We had a drag
queen and a song singing over some Venetian food.
Speaker 15 (45:52):
It was bizarre.

It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
That's my perfect meal, perfect meal. Well, that's a huge
you have been for Wellington. Do people come from out

Speaker 15 (46:08):
Capital, which is amazing.
Speaker 17 (46:09):

winter it's been the most buzz around it. So that's
huge for the North Island.
Speaker 6 (46:16):
Got anything else in the North.
