Speaker 1 (00:00):
This John would be in podcast. Hey that's us broad
to you by Hello Fresh. The Experts and Tastes that
kiwis love. Olympics going on in Paris. We've got a
silver medal. Just moments ago the woman's track team pursuit
in cycling just pipped.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
By USA right at the line. But what on to them?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
An amazing effort. And right now we've got well, we
had three pole volders in the final and one still
remains Eliza McCartney, but Olivia McTaggart she finished thirteenth and
Imogen Airis finished twelfth in New Zealand. Amazing they have
three in there and now we're watching it's quite stressful
because the TV that we're watching it on keeps cutting out.
Smart TV. If someone cuts out is smart TV, but

(00:37):
it keeps cutting out.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
They put the pole in and lift themself and then
the TV cuts out and you're like, yeah, what happened?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (00:44):
It is smart Maybe so you don't want to watch
this one. This will just make you and because you're
starting to wish ill luck on Finland and Australia and
other countries been on now.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Because we've got you know, Eliza's still and there were
like Clare and.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Knocked off on you sucked inland. So that's so that's
what we do in the studio at the moment. Actually,
Olivia McTaggart, who just s dipped out, did a fantastic job.
We caught up with her when we're doing a handball
marathon and we did get into logistics, didn't we as
you know what happens when you're a world pole vaulter
traveling the traveling the globe, So how many poles you take.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Away with you?

Speaker 5 (01:21):
We take that between eight and ten poles in a
four and a half meter long pole bag tube, so.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
They're not like a tent where they all sort of
packed down into each other.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Unfortunately not I wish I was the case. But to
be able to actually vault with them, they can't be
gone up.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
True.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Have you ever taken all of your polls to Poland?

Speaker 5 (01:41):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, good question.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
That's actually a really funny story because for World Indoors
in twenty twenty two, we couldn't get my poles from
New Zealand to Serbia and so we ended up buying
poles in Poland and getting them driven and paying a
guy in cash to be able to get them over
to the world indoors. So it was the last minute
situation which we had to get the poles from Poland,

(02:02):
which is actually where they were being made.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Well that's I'm glad they are being made in Poland.
The yeah, from.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
So it's obviously like like basically like the pier of
shoes that you know your poles other than you know,
this is what you train and so that's why.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
You use it.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Yeah, So it's not very common where you would share
poles unless yours didn't turn up to the competition, because
they're pretty bespoke to you. And so yeah, at the
end of the day, you need to bring your own
poles around the whole of Europe, and only certain airlines
can take them as well.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
You must be a nite me to turn up the
airport though. Oh it's buddy Olivia at the eight poles.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
That are bad.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I get so excited when I go to holiday and
I can just not take my poles. I just turn up,
just have shoes and a little carry on suitcase and
that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I've never thought about the logistics of that.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
You seem lucky, you don't need to be a lovely person,
but if we were traveling together, I'd be like, oh,
meet yeah on the other side. On the other side of.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
However, we get through customs quicker, We're like, it's like
our little family. They just take us straight through the
family line because they don't want to be holding it
the line through there, so you would.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Olivia mctaggett's Olympian pole vaulting Olympian now lives. McCartney's still
in the race for Gold. Will keep you up to date.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Her personal beast is four point ninety four and they're
currently jumping at four point eight.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
So okay.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
That johnaan Ben podcast tension in the studio yesterday been
claimed he lives his life by this tide stain and
remover pin that he carries in his pocket. Any stains
that appear on his body, on his person he can
remove with this Pin's helpful.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Like, I feel like I've renigged slightly on what I'm
saying yesday, but it does help get the stains out.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
You usually have to wash it, that is what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Seems like it's a miracle thing that this is where
Meghan came in.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I believe you were saying that you can get any
stain out with this pin. You're like, you carry it
with your head, chocolate on your white shirt at the movies,
and you're like.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
I got it out.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
I got it out. So you're throwing this wild claims
out there.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
He wasn't saying after he washed it on the you didn't.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Put that disclaimer in the initial Okay.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Okay, it did sound like the pin got the stain.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's helpful.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
It was a miracle pin. And we were like, if
you're going to check that out there, we need to
tate it. I need to see it with my own eyes.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
So she wants to stain your shirt this morning, Yeah, okay, sup,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Want to stain it. I'm just going to chuck some
chocolate on it, like you said, stain.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
It and then and then I'll have to bring it
in tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I'll put the pin on it, and I'll have to
wash it and bring it in tomorrow and then we'll
see if it's gone.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
But if you want to wait twenty four hours, that's fine. Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
So wait, what does the pin do?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Because you stain remover on something at home, you spray
something or you rub something in.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, normally you have to leave it for a bit.
It doesn't just instantly disappear, and then you don't.

Speaker 8 (04:33):
Really wonder this in the initial to put everything on
radio that's talking about.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
All the details at the cinema and you eat to
the toilets and the pin got it out.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Okay, Well here's.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Here's it was helpful to getting it out.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Here's I think we run this experiment. Okay, in the
situation the chocolate, we rubbed some m and ms on
their mounts. We use the standing room river pin. You
then wash the shirt under the tip and then we
get the pots. All right, we'll mix the results of
the tide test. His magic stick. He's got it out,
waving it around.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Papers said yesterday after I was claiming the benefits of
carrying around a little stained to remove a pin in
my life, I said, chopping myself on the movies, I said,
the pen really helps. I can't remember exactly the word
for word. I feel like I'm under examination and some
sort of trial.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Looking on.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh jeez, said it helped.

Speaker 9 (05:30):
It helped remove the remember, helped on the stains. Anyway,
it's the tide magic pin. Megan's like we need to
do an in situation test. I want you to smear
chocolate all over your clean white.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
T shirt, which I did.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Watch I did during the head break.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Here's a bit of how it went down.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
So I got this pin I carry around my bag
and I say, it's really handy because there's a stained
Remove a pin.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Now.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Meghan's sitting and saying, they claimed it removes all the
stains straight away.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
I'm like, no, it's helpful to We went.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
To the bathroom, put the pin on and it got
the stain out.

Speaker 9 (06:00):
Help help Right now, you're.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Going to eat, dribble some on your shirt. Go on
the side. I'm not a monster.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
So that was being dribbling to very much in the middle,
right in the middle, I know.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
I said he could do it on the side. He
dribbled it right on his chest.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
And then so you rubbed your magic your magic pan
all over the a.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Twink sort of like a twink pin, a pin or
a vivid or something like that, rubbed it and then
I took it out to the bath what the work
basin in the kitchen, Everyone's like, is he living at work?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
What's going on? Shirtless?

Speaker 6 (06:31):
Is?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I washed it, washed it out and it's pretty.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Well, did you use any kind of detergent just to
have washed it through?

Speaker 4 (06:37):
It has come out and it has disappeared. He has
a soggy, witty shirt standing with the top on at
the moment. But that's what the links he was willing
to go to to prove the magic qualities of this
tide pin.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Like I've really gone in deep with this pin now,
like I've invested in that and I needed it to work.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
So it is a magic magic pin. But disclaiming you
have to wash it afterwards doesn't get it out.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
It helps it stayed like a stay remover all right,
But you're sprays and stuff on, you know, if.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Only you can get rid of and smudged all of
his scandals and stains of those.

Speaker 6 (07:09):
From over the years, the hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I went to see a movie last night, a premiere
of It Ends with Us, which is based on a
book which everyone seems to have read apart from me,
from Colen Hoover. If you haven't heard the trailer, this
is it.

Speaker 7 (07:24):
I'll have an idea of what life can be.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
I want to see you again.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Now you see me a special connection you feel that
first Kip for fifteen seconds.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
That's all it teakes Wake Lively, isn't.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
It ras Blake Lively? Yeah, And it's about a woman
who goes to Boston. She chases her dream of opening
a business. She has a chance meeting with a hot
ass neurosurgeon, and then as they fall in love, she
realizes that he's reminding her a lot of her parents
unhealthy relationship. So it's quite serious. I cried a lot.
I haven't read the book, but so many people have

(08:00):
been asking me what it's like. I loved it, but
you know how people read the book and they're like, oh,
it's not the same.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, gotcha.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
There was a lot of people there who had read
it who said that it was very good. Now, this
is a serious movie, and in one of the most point,
probably after seeing the whole thing, it would be the
most serious and poignant part of this movie.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
What happens.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
There's a serious conversation and as the people pause, there
was obviously something in that that triggered someone siri.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh so the phone was listening. Someone's fine.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
So they pause and the phone goes, okay, this is
what I found online.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Everyone is quite a dark, dark moment.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
It's a very serious moment in the movie, and Siia's
looking up stuff on the internet. I don't know what
they'd see that triggered her.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
But someone's whispering game you don't trust, You've got to switch.
Does he turns off anything to do with any listening?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't even like.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I don't like the thought of the live stream the
corner with thoughts going on, like, what's that the sounds
off off?

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Mate?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Okay, this is what I found on the web. But
everyone thought it was hilarious. It was a nice way
to break the moment.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Siria is always listening. It does worry you about the
amount of information that was just where's this going?

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Like?

Speaker 4 (09:15):
What is collecting? Do you know? The other crazy thing
is digital billboards. So you're driving to work, right, yeah, okay,
and you stop at an intersection. Now, the digital billboard
has the function to connect to your phone and figure
out what you've been looking at and flash up. For example,
if you've been looking at another pair of shoes, Megan

(09:36):
that you secretly order behind Andrew's back, that'll flash up
on a billboard, going is that true?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
What happens if I'm walking with Andrew and he's like,
why are those shoes up there?

Speaker 4 (09:45):
So how come?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Well, there's lots of people around, butn't Megan, mega's that
the lights. I'm at the light. There's probably like.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, it will just pick, it'll put Yeah, obviously it's
not going to go through or it might go through
all four people to the front of the lights and
what they've.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Been looking at, looking at something.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
This seems to be what you're to do at the moment.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
God, very specific adult fun toy.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
But now Siri has listened to that whole movie. Yeah,
knows exactly what happens where it ends. Do you know
the poignant moments in there?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, this is the world?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Hey, Siri, how do I end this radio bit? There's
nothing playing series even checked out.

Speaker 6 (10:34):

Speaker 10 (11:05):
All amazing suggestions, but unfortunately I couldn't explore those suggestions
due to one big hurdle of the story.

Speaker 7 (11:13):
It was all made up.

Speaker 10 (11:14):
I was just in my first trimester of pregnancy.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's very exciting, yes, but.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Also conflicting emotions. We spent a week of radio.

twenty five months?

Speaker 4 (12:30):

Speaker 7 (12:31):

It was like twins?

Speaker 10 (13:14):
Yeah, it is hard. The first three months was I
didn't think I'd get through it. I'm calling to the
finish line, but can I just say count every single
day till the maternity believe.

Speaker 7 (13:23):
Just gonna be honest.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I've been pregnant breakfast hours and you roll your body
out of bed for you like the.

Speaker 10 (13:32):
Back pain and stuff. Just sitting on the chairs for
a long amount of time.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
It just hurts.

Speaker 10 (13:37):
But I've got a bone to bet with you, John O,
because when I want.

Speaker 7 (13:43):
And you did know about it. This was when I
was only six eight weeks. We had to.

Speaker 10 (13:48):
Go down to the viaduct and I kept saying, can
we please catch you? But can we please catch you?
We'll just walk, maybe we'll just walk.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Well, we were.

Speaker 10 (13:55):
Running late, yeah, he knew, so we had to run
to go see Teddy Swims in the fan tan.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
I was well halfway through. I was like, oh no,
I'm making a pregnant woman run because we're late for
the sleep. But in fairness, you're like, ye, it's not far.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
I'm not gonna get uber by myself.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Were trudging and walking everywhere like rain, and then then
we were trudging up the stears of the car park
and I was like, there's a lot of stairs I was.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Like, sorry, and I can hear God.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Seeing the patient to be free. You're just over halfway. Yeah,
I was bigger than you with one baby.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
So ye great, I'm very excited.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Using get it on the podcast The Montoya's on iHeart
Radio and you tax Montoya's to four four eight seven
if you want.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
To get that.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
Le the heads that John wan Ben podcast some subpar there.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
No, I don't think the company would be there pubbs
if they had to pay a lot of money. Just
they're like, well what was that? What was the audio?
And they play backage? You go, oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
What time was it? Six fifteen in the morning. Okay,
well that was worth a ten million dollar lawsuit things. Yeah,
so you will button out of that.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
But no way related to the Olympics, right, nothing to
do with what's going on.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Almost like put a full stop in what we were
talking about. Yeah, pause, new topic.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
So we've got a torch in the studio and we're
having a closing ceremony, you know for our torch, a
particular torch that we've just found around the office. It's
one of those dolphins sort of yellow torches you might
take camping or sit in the cupboard if there's a.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Power outage at home.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
We found it around there and we thought, well, why
don't we turn it on and see when the batteries
run out.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah, they're not new batteries, so we don't know how
much juice is left. And the old the old girls.
But I toned on overnight captivating viewing. It really is
on the live stream, even though like nothing is happening.
There's something very comforting about watching nothing happen.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, how do we look last night? Well, apparently the
live stream cut out for a week it so we
had to restart it again. But we have not turned
the torch off.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Your poor graces up for an hour last night restarting.
So there's two I think there's two posts on there.
So if you have guestimated the time that the.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Torch rate posts, we got three posts. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
It doesn't matter what post you put it on a
whilst all the answers are still valid.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, listen, blame zaker bug. It's not us. We didn't
create Facebook. But yes, if you've put an entry in
for when you think the time are the better will
run out as you are in the draw now, Producer
Taylor's coming in she's been she's been up and down,
but bobbing and weaving with the live stream. What's been
happening this morning?

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Mate?

Speaker 10 (16:26):
If we compare from the first live stream we did
this time yesterday to what the color is now, there
is definitely fading going on.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Okay, because we wanted that, like would the light shine
less brighter?

Speaker 4 (16:41):
But it's still going strong. I would say that's a
strong light.

Speaker 7 (16:44):
Yeah it is. But if you compare that to that's
it's weak as okay.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
You can still play a game of spotlight with that light.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah right, yeah, five hundred dollars is what you could one.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
If you can guess correctly, you can guess as many
times as you want when exactly the torch?

Speaker 2 (16:57):
What are you thinking? Are you thinking that's the next
twenty four hours?

Speaker 7 (16:59):
Or I reckon, we've got three weeks up our sleeve.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
If it's a great advert for whaty the batteries there?
We can't take it out and have a lock. I
don't know what sort of batteries inside. We haven't actually locked.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
So I reckon, it's got it. Looking at that light now,
it's got another twenty four hours, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Yeah, yeah, I reckon another day.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
We'll head to the Hats Breakfast on Facebook if you
want to guess, and you could be winning five hundred
dollars in the next ten minutes though.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
With the Hits that JOHNA and Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Having a torch ceremony. We started a torch yesterday in
the studio the corner.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Of the radio studio. We've got a live stream.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
It's basically in a little box in the studio so
you can see it.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
It's lit up.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
We don't know how old the batteries are, but if
you can guess exactly when the torch runs out, then
you will win five hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
You do that Hits Breakfast on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Two hundred and forty seven euros if you're wondering what
the conversion rate is then and three different posts on there.
We must just reiterate too. If you've just entered the
time on any of the posts, you are in the drawer,
and we spare a thought and our condolences to the
poor person to have to go through all of those
is that you produced, Taylor, Yes, that's me, Thank you,
I hate My condolences are with you, thoughts and feelings.

(18:07):
Makes it all worth it now what's happening with this torch?
It feels like some movement over the last couple of minutes.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
There is some clear dimming. Yeah, obvious.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
If you see the shadow on the torch, that's me
and Taylor running around being like, oh.

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Yeah, it's getting Timmar.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
It's getting Timmar.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Were you doing with a naisey excit?

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, she understands, like if you speak just with a keep,
I don't have to go out for Taylor.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
But its yeah, I was thinking it was good. Had
another twenty four hours and the old girl, but find out.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
We'll find out.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
If you think you know he's the hats breakfast on
Facebook and write down what you think of what your
prediction is going to be.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
It's gone a lot longer than I initially thought it
was going because we don't know. They weren't new betteries,
so I was surprised they did twenty four hours. But
then I saw the brightness this morning. It still gets
the little torch that can. Yeah, it's just giving hope
to humanity. This torch oversell it.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's weirdly you can sit there and.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
What miss, what did you say? It was giving the
Titan vibe?

Speaker 7 (19:08):
Yeah, like you know, really sad.

Speaker 10 (19:11):
But when the Titansmersmore went down to the Titanic and
they weren't found, news dot Com put out like an
oxygen countdown left of how long they.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Had to breathe.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Okay, that's that's a comparison.

Speaker 7 (19:24):
So that's what I'm getting vibes of, or like doomstay clock.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, very positive.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
Yeah, eggs hatching.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just started with.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Just quickly went and did the heats four for eight seven.
What's the most unusual thing you've ever had stolen? Because
my neighbor a couple of days ago is like, did
you see anyone take anything from outside our property? Is
the guy across the road a sort of oldest sort
of gentleman. I was like, oh no, I didn't. He's
like I had a box of stuff. I was sitting
out there, I was moving. I sort of had it.
He's like, stupidly I had it outside and it was
like a full of you know, a couple of things

(19:57):
from the kitchen and stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
And then he was like, also a jar. So I
got false teeth, but I.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Kept on my original teeth and he's like, take of
the teeth.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Who would have taken that? I was like tooth fairy and.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
It wasn't time for crime suspect.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
It wasn't time for a joke.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
But the lady with the house teeth was it on
his doorsteps?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Yeah, still next to it, and he was like yeah,
And someone obviously walked past.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
And you know where stuff outside. You think it's like
an organic collection. You know, people were like, oh, free anything.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
On the boom Prime territory. I've told the story a
million times. My friend was mowing the lawn. He just
went inside to get some picture to help fill it up. Left,
the were going on the boom, came back out. There's
someone pushing it into the event. I know the mall
was going che boom, far game.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
This wasn't quite the burm.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
But I thought very your family members on there.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Very unusual for someone to take, you know. I guess
they probably wouldn't have known there was a jar of teeth,
of adult teeth in there.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
What was he?

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Did he want his adult teeth back? Well?

Speaker 3 (20:56):
I don't Yeah, you saved them all these years. It
mustn't mean something and everything.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Back, I guess, and something Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
What. Bring me some much joys? What is the wildest
thing you've had stolen? I don't know if it's wild,
but it makes me wild. In the studio, we have
a cord of the dongle on it. Now the dongle
plugs into the phone. We can load stuff, you know,
we can rip stuff off Instagram and TikTok and play

(21:21):
on the radio.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
This is Apple's fault because they decided they wanted to
mix up the headphone you know, jacks and stuff you
plug and they're like, oh, we'll do something different. You're like,
oh great, now my headphones don't plug.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
It, but we're gonna dongle. Dongle sounds like something you
mum would nickname your private pat But this dongle goes
missing at least twice a week. Most commonly asked questions,
where's the dongle?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
The dongle, the dongle. They're like gold, the dongles. We've
got a couple of our household. Now gold they who's got?
I like you the dongle. You've better bring it back.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Some dongle things out there, My freedom, the.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
Heads that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's the most unusual thing you've ever had stolen?

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Anything stolen from your house? The Amigan Peppers.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
I have had like a burglary. Someone broke in. I
can't remember. I think they saw the PlayStation. Oh yeah,
but they go through all your staff.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Do you feel violated?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah, yeah, there's nothing in my underdrawer. Keep out of that.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Well, well, what's that a schooling right now?

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Mate?

Speaker 11 (22:25):
Morna guys, how are you?

Speaker 4 (22:26):
We're doing well? Lovely to have you on now you're
you're a school principal and had something unusual stolen?

Speaker 11 (22:32):
Yes, I am. Someone stole our historic school bell from
the playground on the weekend.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Just so, just this weekend gone. So what school you're in?
Christ Church?

Speaker 11 (22:41):
I understand, Yeah, at Eddington and christ Church. Yep.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
How big is the bell?

Speaker 11 (22:47):
Oh it would be a little bit smaller maybe than
a basketball and pretty heavy.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yes, okay, so this has gone How long has the
bell been at the school?

Speaker 11 (22:55):
Well, we've been around since eighteen eighty one and records
are showing that bell would been rung way back around
that time. And I mean it's been in the playground
for as long as many people can remember.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, so well when I remember that bell when I
started school?

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Memory, So how did the kid the kids still well,
how did they even know when to go home?

Speaker 2 (23:15):
When it start school coming without them.

Speaker 11 (23:17):
Yeah, we have an electronic bell, you know for lockdowns
and stuff like that. But I mean it's just in
the playground and the kids bring it to start the day.
It's kind of got that nice down that just fills
the whole playground and they go running. It's a big
part of our celebrations. And that's the bit I think
that hurts the most.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, I can imagine it would, but yeah, a long time,
one hundred and forty three years, it's been Yeah, at
the school, we be ringing it when everyone leaves at
the end of the year, like they're leavers, Yeah.

Speaker 11 (23:42):
To write a passage. They all line up, they all
ring the bell and you know, hacker and everything to
send everyone off. And it's not there. And I know
I've got year sixers who are like, hey, I've been waiting,
you know, five years, six years to be able to
ring the spell. What's gonna happen? So we've just got
our fingers crossed it. All the messaging and the support

(24:03):
that we've been having from people across them or two
might reach the person and they just bring it back.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Do we know which bell end took the bell?

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah? The police reckon you'll get it back.

Speaker 11 (24:15):
Or I haven't heard anything from the police. I mean,
I know it's not a major thing, but yeah, I
mean I contacted scrap middle yards have been amazing and
we actually had an offer last night from a scrap
middle yard to loan us a bell that had been
taken to them, which isn't our bell. They were beautifully
compared photos until we can get a new one, but

(24:36):
we're still holding out that night. Come back to school
maybe after this weekend and be on the doorsteps.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
But true, that's it would be nice one, don't if
someone just playing on the guilty conscience the year good one?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
What are you going to do with it? You know?

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Really, what are you going to the things you can
do with the bell?

Speaker 2 (24:51):
I mean the school obviously do amazing things with that,
but what would you do with the bell?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Dinner time? I'm awake ding ding ding? Someone home very versatile.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, not that I reckon any hits listens would have
taken it. But say that the person who did take
it was listening. What would you like to say to them?

Speaker 11 (25:09):
Look, if you've taken this bell because you needed to
get some cash, just come and see us. Look, we
you know We're a given community and we would help you,
would help you with you know, if you needed groceries,
we'd get them. We just want our bell back, and
I want to show these kids that people can be
forgiving and you can put right your wrongs.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
Yeah, what a lovely person you are. I'll be like,
I'm coming for you. Better person than meat. Good on
your Donna. And everyone loves ringing a bell, even you
see the bell at the Olympics when you know they
get to ring, that brings a smile.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
You don't get to ring many bells in your life,
and when you do, it's a big opportunity.

Speaker 11 (25:48):
Yeah, no, exactly right, exactly right. So you know just here,
we want to be able to ring it at the
end of the year and at our other celebrations that
we have and our remembrance garden.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Good luck. He was up to date.

Speaker 11 (26:01):
Oh well, differently the.

Speaker 6 (26:02):
Heads that JOHNA and Ben.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Podcast and we found a torch from the office we
put better. Well, we didn't change the batteries. The batteries
don't know how old they are. We put it on
yesterday around about this time and it's been going strong
for over twenty four hours.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Yeah, now you'll notice too when you head to the
Facebook called Zack Zuckerberg, you canceled a couple of our
live streams. Mad Dog here is So there's actually three
different posts on the Facebook page. Now rest as should.
If you have entered a time as to when you
think the batteries will run out to win the five
hundred dollars, you're still in the drawer no matter what
post it's on.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, so five hundred bucks. If you guess correctly, you
can get into as many times as you want. Put
a comment when you think the torch is going to
run out, Megan, you reckon it's dim slip?

Speaker 6 (26:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Does it look I reckon, it looks dimmer.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
It does feel like it's I remember it has been
going for over twenty four hours.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
When it starts to dim, does it dim quickly? Does
it fall off a cliff quickly? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Sometimes they flicker ry and you have to bang them and.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
The batteries then always gets another couple of hours and
recommended not by the batteries this time because we wanted
to run out. But you know, we don't know how
old the batteries are. But if you can guess correctly,
you win five hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Nothing like the thrill of a semi legal sweep seat
to get the people going, yeah, great stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Now, yesterday I just wanted to touch on this quickly, Megan.
You're with me in the office.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Someone we know walk past, and you know, you say
hi to people as that walk past, and.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
They just said hi.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
They said high back to us, and then they said
straight away to me, oh, you look tired.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Now, Hi, you look tired.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
He doesn't like it when people say you look.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know, I can understand it could come from a
caring place. No, you do look tired. You need to
get more rich.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
But no, there was no care afterwards. They kind of
dropped it and walked on.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
And I know this person, we know this person.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
I don't feel like it was oh mate, you know
like I feel it was tired your bag and whatever.
And then yeah, in mind, I have that sort of
relationship with that person. But clift me a little bit
rattled for the rest of the day every time I
sort of drop.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Your brand looking, I don't know that be surprised. The
guy who never stops like he's stopping, stopping and taking
a moment as a sign of weakness to your ship.
You know, one look weak to under human.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
So you just keep going, keep going.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
And the collateral of keeping going and going is you
know you people are going to and so you look tired.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
I seem to be. And I was like, oh, I
had it when people say that to you. But also
in my mind, I was like, me, didn't so to move.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
You're like, also in your mind, Jeezy looks tired. Were
you thinking it? You're thinking that the rod wasn't thinking.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Every day?

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Was not tired every day?

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, something, We're gonna look tired from now until where
Joe Biden get any better. You don't look any less tired.
I'm sorry to say.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
No, in no way, I don't think. I think you
do get as an adult, no matter what age you are.
I think whenever you're even if you have a sleep,
you still probably looked tired. You still probably feel tired.
I don't think it feeling ever goes away.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
He was forced to have a nap. I think maybe
about two years ago. The only time the man's napped
because we're filming something late at night. It's going to
be a late night, so he was forced to nap.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
You can't go to your room. You have a nap.
I tried.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
I wish someone would force me to it. Sounds like bliss.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Okay, what are you doing?

Speaker 9 (29:18):
You just line you're thinking about stuff and you do
yeah very much exactly why I'm doing this.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Just get up and get into the stuff.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
You are like a kid being forced to do like
the best things in life, going to bed, having a
shower and eating.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
So that people say, just going okay, well that's that's
meads that John and Ben podcast ceremony were sunder one
old man. Has this torch got more life in it
than we had initially anticipated. We'll get to this shortly now.
I mean, I know this is an issue you actually
raised a few weeks ago on the show, and I'd
like to I'm in the depths of as well, and
I looked at the freezer freezer last night, and can

(29:54):
I just ask the question, who is responsible for all
of the fundraising somosas that are out and about at
the moment. If there's a fundraiser, there's a samosa to
be sold. We want to work. Just last week, come
to the kitchen fundraising samosa. Like samosas everywhere and in
the freezer. We've purchased so many fundraising somosas over the
last couple of years. There's not much space for anything else.

(30:16):
I'm going to have to start. We do eat them regularly,
but not enough. Need to get on top of the
samosa consumption. Whose idea was this, it's genius.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Well, they already have tapped into your right, they've tapped
into the somosas and it's it's obviously working.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Maybe you should bring them to work because they sold
out during that fundraiser.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
They disappears.

Speaker 12 (30:34):
Yeahs for the freezer here, good charitable course, but yeah,
there's there's interesting fundraising technics under the chocolate's always a
good one too.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
It's like, here have this chocolate, chocolate comes home, people
nibble away at it. Oh, but I owe you notes
come out.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, they know what they're doing. Yeah, yeah, take them home,
take it home. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Have you hit the fundraising era of you?

Speaker 3 (31:00):
No, but we have it's a little bit different to fundraising.
But we have these neighbors, these young kids that come
around like every week, but it's just for them for coins.
And they came over just recently with like a bottle
of juice and some cups and they were like, do
you want to buy a cup.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Of juice or what the fundraising for themselves.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
And then another time they made one of those you
remember the little finger things, and it's like, what color
would you choose? They made ones of those and they
were selling them for two dollars.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
And there's an obligation from you. You're like, I have
to see these people regularly. So I'm gathering you were
nice and you purchased them.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, oh we bought the finger thing, but we didn't
buy the juice.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Weird get out of here.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
My daughter and a friend a few years ago, they
were like, we're gonna sell I think they must have
seen it online, like an American. We're gonna sell lemonade
out the front, and they put some lemons and something
out front. I was like, no one has gonna stop.
There's no no one is gonna stop. And then they
were like, come out, come out and bragging a couple
of patched gang members and stopped, kindly stopped. They get
them twenty bucks. I was like, I was like, oh,

(32:03):
there we go, money to hush my mouth.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Well there you go, well done, So.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
What a generous what a issue? Yeah mind, it would
have been very sour homemade lemonade sugar and put a
lot of sugar in it too much?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Was it a lot of sugar? I do how healthy
it was, but anyway, they made.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
It anyway there. So I just I'm not saying ho
back on the somosas, but let's just manage the manage
the amount of smosas that were getting out there. Mixture
fundraising taco that sounds.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
Pizzas the heads that Jonavan Ben podcast hanging by a
moment is our torch ceremony live streaming at the Pittsburgos
Facebook page.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
We've got your run under the run of the middle
emergency torch for any natural disaster. Do I think it's called, yeah,
pretty rock solid torch from what I understand, the dolphin
and we don't know how long the betteries had been
in the Dolphin for. We just turned it on. Ran
the live stream from six o'clock yesterday morning and you
can hear your bits at the Briefs facebook page as
you as to when you think it's going to run out.

(33:08):
Now it's still going pretty strong. There have been conversations
between me and producer Tale. Oh look it's fading. It's
fading with my eyes, my elderly eyes. It still looks
as bright as it did yesterday.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Well, we've discovered the issue there was that when we
came in this morning, the lights and the studio were
off and so it looked really bright. And then we
turned all the lights on and now it looks dimmer.
But I think it's probably just the same.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
It still.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Now this leads us to our problem. Is this thing
ever going to turn off? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
I mean, I know it's been twenty four hours and
you know, long time, but yeah, but we're like, well,
now we're heading in towards you know, day two. Of
course tomorrow's day three. We're going into a weekend. This
is something we were red flagged when we had this idea.
And then I'll be like, oh no, no, to be fine,
we'll get people to monitor over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Well, now that doesn't seem the case.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
We could be here the weekend. No, absolutely not Keeping
the eye on this.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Torch A lot roster system coming into.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
The unknown is we don't know how much it's got
left in it because we don't know where we started.
Because you could go, what's the average lifespan of a
full ever ready battery? You can find that information out
and get a ball part.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
We don't know, so eight hundred. This is what we need.
Battery experts. How long have we got with this thing?
Have we? But not more than we can chew? Are
we in too deep?

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah? Well I'm quite concerned that Mike. Just keep going,
just keep it.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
And the thing is we've started now. We can't not
be here for.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Someone's going to put on a time at the hits
briefast one on one.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
You know, we've got to be there to monitor.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Does anyone does anyone work with batteries? Are you a
better expert? Megan?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Do you know?

Speaker 6 (34:43):
No?

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I did google how long those torches averagely last for,
But then again we don't know, like it's been in
there for a while.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Yeah, true, but good last most people were just sixty five.
We're just started Monday, talk about Yeah, we can't even
sing ending on the weekend.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
One of us has to be Yeah, one of us
is going to have a very depressive we're there, the
live stream going at least because the live stream stops.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
No one has any idea.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
The greatest advertisement for the Dolphin torch, for our emergency
kits that we're always planning to.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
Make the hits that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
We started something yesterday, our torch ceremony. We put on
a dolphin torch we found from the office that had
fresh well batteries that we think had been used before,
and we put it on you today at twenty seven
hours later, it is still going. We're starting to worry
that it's going to keep going into the weekend. You're
going five hundred bucks by heading into the Hits Breakfast
and picking when you think the torch is going to run.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
I don't want a fingerpoint. I do not like finger pointing, Megan.
But I'm looking at you right now, and I'm pointing
my fingers at someone the mastermind of this idea.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Well, yeah, I just got the idea, but I didn't
say that it started on Wednesday and haven't done that.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, yeah, okay, surely it's not going to last.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Both the fingers are pointing at someone right now, finger
pointing at me, and we are concerned that this is
going to go over the weekend and the show's just
going to have to continue on. You can hear your
bits as to when you think the batteries will run
deads at the Breakfast Facebook page. Leaticia, We've got Latica
on from ever Ready, New Zealand. Leticia, great to have
you with us. Okay, what what are we looking at?

(36:21):
We are twenty seven hours into the campaign so far.
Is there an end in sight? Will it be done
by the weekend? That's our major concern.

Speaker 11 (36:30):
I don't think so. I think it's going to keep going.
It's going to keep you there.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Oh keep berries that they last a long time, don't they?

Speaker 11 (36:38):
They do? They do?

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Can you answer?

Speaker 11 (36:42):
It does say that they should last up to sixty
five hours?

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Oh so yeah, we don't know how old the batteries
were when we put them in, so that may be
playing too.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
It isn't that three days? What's my mass?

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:56):
So maybe three days?

Speaker 11 (36:58):
Yeah, we could.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
We could finish tomorrow. Uh the dolphin? Does the dolphin
make it last longer?

Speaker 6 (37:06):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (37:07):
Probably?

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Yeah? Right, okay, so we're looking maybe a Friday hour,
Oh finish at the end of the torch ceremony?

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Is there any way you can drain a battery quick?

Speaker 4 (37:16):
Well?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
We can't touch it now, though, can we?

Speaker 3 (37:18):
You know? Okay?

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Who made batteries last so long? Well?

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Obviously ever Ready Ready wonderful for every Ready.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Isn't that there really is does ever ready also back
the theory that you know, you can bite them to
get a little bit more life out of them at
the end.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
I don't know if anyone does.

Speaker 11 (37:35):
Right, Yeah, I highly recommend, yeah, not to do that.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Yeah, we're going to say you, we highly recommend to
buy battery was usual, which she said, not so, Yeah,
it makes sense. Letitia, Well, thank you so much for
your advice. It's probably a good little a little bit
of a clue for those are making the bits as well.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
