Hey, that's us broad to you by Hello Fresh the
experts and tastes that kiwis load.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Back with us.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
So I timed it nicely to your Friday back to
work for your first day.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
One day week so good, and then oh.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
The weekends just around the corner.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
But listen week about she sounded. It just sounded like
a goblin or a greenlin. And we spoke to you
on Zoom on Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Yeah, and then I refused to my camera on because
I was like, I'm not in a good way.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Visuals tomorrow and we're like, okay, we're just fine, but
both of us like, wow, she sounds bad.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
And then you spoke to our boss Mat and he
was like, oh, you'd.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Sound it's like you go go all the radio sounding
like that.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
It was a wild ride of covis it.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Actually Yeah, it actually kicked my butt a little bit,
but like not like a flu like I had like
hid pains, not like a headache, but like pains in
my head. And I was just so tired, and yeah,
it was not fun.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Actually, It's what amazes me how it mutates. You know,
where did I catch this from? I know you don't
how many feel like that with a cold and the flu?
So how do I get this?

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Usually the things I get are from my kids? But like,
no one in my house has been sick, was it?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Where did this come from? Has everyone else avoided it?
So far?

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Cold?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, since you've been gone, we need to fill you
in on the torch.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh yeah, still going.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
We're still going. The torch that we started Wednesday, like Wednesday,
not even this week, the week before.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
The torch is still hanging in there.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, the torch ceremony, Like, I can't see a future
without this torch now.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, So the torch we put it on.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
We decided that when the batteries ran out, you could
win five hundred dollars if you predicted the closest time
to know to the minute to the hour of when
the torch runs out, thinking it would be a couple
of days. Yesterday I was over by reception in the afternoon.
It's the talk of reception. It's the talk the security
guards and then other ones. I'll just turn it off
because no, I cut it off, mate, cut to it off.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
They need to know when.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
It runs out of taking it, I mean this torch
couldn't be in a safer period. This torch has more
security than the Prime Minister at the moment. Yeah, do
you want to go do an update to go out
to reception.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, we'll cross life to be in.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Voice like ready to decorate it and give it like
a name. Now it's good part of the family.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Could we do a knighthood? Could we do a nighthook?
So we have been checking any morning, every morning with security.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
There was there was the meeting that someone suggested if
it was now led, one could be years on, it
could be six or seven years.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
There we go, we're coming morning morning.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
How you doing?

Speaker 2 (02:31):

Speaker 8 (02:43):
See?

Speaker 7 (02:44):
Yes? Can you just verify that the torch is still going,
still going, still going.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Straw shined it in my eyes, the torch that just
keeps going. Yeah, I reckon.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Eventually, you know, when the world ends, when we finally
end up we're ruining this planet. The only three things
left will be this torch and Elon Musk and Jeff
Bezos and some sort of weird futuristic survival apocalyptic capsules.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
That'll be it.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, people still commenting on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
You can go to the His Breakfast on Facebook and yeah,
lodge your lodge your guessing this to think it all
run out of battery.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's anyone's guess at the moment.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's someone pranking us with us, like are they putting
your betteries it or something, because it's just unbelievable how
it's still going all right, back from back obviously, back
from receptions.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Just for those you can't see me walking back into
the studio, Betan's returned.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I should have said, hey, next though, bargain chemists, if
you want to win savouchers from the bargain chemists, We're
just going to rattle off a whole bunch of items
that they have on offer, and you just got to
remember as many as you can, and you get a

Speaker 8 (03:51):

of an upset losing Targetsina, I've got two of the
all black swidth us right now, great to have you

Are you? Are you six four?

Speaker 9 (04:23):
Whatever?

Speaker 8 (04:23):
That is?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
TV doesn't do you justice. I was lovely to have
you guys in the in the studio. I thought it
was a tactic this week. You should have deprived the
Argentinians of meat or something because it's eat right meat yeah,
heavy meat diet. Now this week, what do you do
to regroup?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
We've done plenty.

Speaker 10 (04:44):
Yeah, obviously we're disappointed with with last week, but back
in Auckland and we've had a great week of preps
so far, so hopefully we can have a good one
at Eating.

Speaker 9 (04:53):
Park tomorrow Tomorrow night.

Speaker 10 (04:55):
So I think there's a bit of weather around which
will make it difficult for both sides.

Speaker 9 (04:59):
But you've had a great week.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
It's hard so much pressure on the old Nest to
win expected to like it's sport ex.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
There's another great teams out there as well. Megan, you
need to apologize I think maybe to Dalton.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
I do. I don't know if you remember, but when
was this?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
This was two weeks ago. You're heading to Wellington for training.
Do you remember that you're flying to Wellington?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, radio announcer may have pushed past everyone in the
security because running late.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, push and some others.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Oh yeah, I think you're that crazy.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Woman waving my hands. No, everyone was very accommodating and
letting me go past.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
You pushed past Boden.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yeah, it's okay to push past me.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
But Bears Rugby Royalty.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
We want to pay a quick game with you. Guys
can do it from there. You know you guys like
you're rolling subs and Rugby. So what are we going
to do. We're going to ask you a question. We'll
start with you Dalton, and then if you don't want
to answer it, you don't have to. You can say
sub and on to Jordan.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
All right, okay, first question, what's your banking past? He's
going to pass that one.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Of Jordie our worst all back to room with Oh don't.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
If you can't pass, you can't pass. You throw it
back to dog.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
If you double pass, you basically want this game because
we're not going to get that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I think probably, yeah, why why recently?

Speaker 6 (06:31):
And I've found a few few things about him that
I wouldn't really know.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
But he's all right. But he's just likes be in
his own bubble and not really talked to me. So right,
So there's a room of silence. It's a room of silence.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
Chucks his headphones in and sometimes I'll be looking out
talk to him and he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Even what's wrong with me?

Speaker 9 (06:50):
All right?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Next one? Now you can both pass. Megan, if you could.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Swap places with your coach for a day, what's the
first thing you'd do.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
It's a tough question, yea.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Or you can pass it back to Jordy pass. Would
you bust out of break Dance?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Because I mean, I certainly not.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
He could have been at the Olympics. Scott Robinson.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Chicken's bank account.

That's a good idea chickens bag about account. Okay, you
can pass on to the next one, Dolphin, this is
your tune. Who's your favorite of the Barrett brothers?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Oh, you can pass to one of the Barrett brothers.
But I'd like I'd like an answer.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
He's a very long time in but I'll probably have
to go with you know, I new Jordy first good
tour in twenty sixteen together but twenties and the all
good men. I'm close with him all but I knew
JB first, So I'll go with Jordie.

Speaker 1 (07:52):

Next question?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, JORDI asked here this is worst haircut in the team. Oh,
you guys, I have much thought that's gone too. You're
not just bending it about. I know the worst haircut the.

Speaker 10 (08:13):
I can't really point and shoot because I've had some
shockers through my time and me too.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, let's just go worst haircut in the room right
now and I'll take my hair Okay, we go. You
by that one. That's yeah, mate haircut.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, you guys, like, would you get your hair cut?
Like I've seen sometimes on social media, someone will cut
in the team and.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 10 (08:35):
Generally whatever, depending on what study we're in, the local
boys will get their barbers that they use and got
chest save some of the boys time and often cut
out of someone's room for a bit of a cash.

Speaker 8 (08:47):
So the Jan Ben Podcast just pitched.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
The game John O versus Jordie. Very arrogant of you
to put your own game, and might put my name
for us as well.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
But we have the wonderful Dalton Bubbly and Jordy Barrett
here the all blacks on the Yeah, okay, and we're
going to play a game John O versus Jordy or
Jordie versus John, which do you prefer? And we're both
going to kick across the disk of the expensive radio equipment.

Speaker 8 (10:37):
Watch cheer you guys on the It's the Jona wan
Ben Podcast.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Now Ossie breakdown, Sir Reagan. She's released a bit of
a statement. Over the last twenty four hours, she's been
to the media center of a media storm and a
whole lot of people weighing in their opinions on Reagan
over the last couple of days. And this is what
she had to say on Instagram yesterday.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Hi everyone, Raygun here. I just want to start by
thanking all the people who have supported me.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I really appreciate.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
The positivity and I'm glad I was able to bring
some joy into your lives. That's what I hoped.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
I didn't realize that that would also open the door
to so much hate, which has frankly been pretty devastating.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, because she was just out there to have fun.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
You're right, You're right doing the sports she loves and
being You said this from the get go. You were like,
that's when you take the high road on this. There's
a real person behind us, and you did right.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
I think the world and the.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Internet, it is very easy to forget that she's a university lecturer.
She's just a normal but not a politician, not even
a celebrity, even though bullying celebrities, you're not allowed to
do that now.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
And that was fun. That was one of my favorite pasts.
But that's not even kosher now. But you know, this
is just an everyday person who has had the entire world.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
I thought we were just like lulling at memes. But
there are people who are like threatening her and saying
awful thing like you go onto her comments on Instagram and.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Calm down.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's like a fifty thousand people in Australia signed a
petition about, you know, to do what investigate how she
got to the Olympics.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
But it's breakdancing. Who kids, not to talk down the
sport of breakdowncing, But like in the grand scheme of life, someone's.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Like, she's like a big part of that community anyway,
So if they want to be outraged about it, let
them do it.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah. Well that's the thing I find.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
You're up pro meging that people we do get outraged
a lot on other people's behalf. But you're right, it's like,
well are these people outraged? Yeah, they're the people there, you.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Know, and a lot of them are defending her now,
being like, well, you know, she might have made some
questionable choices with the choreography, but it was still break dancing.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
At the end of the day, what are we talking about?
Breakdown and breakdancing's never had as much she wonders for
the sport of breakdancing in my mind.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, and I feel like she's made her way into
the Australian history books.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Would you say so?

Speaker 9 (13:00):
Now?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
An Ossie legend, an icon of Australia. Whether you know
you like what she did or didn't like what she did.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I liked what she did.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, well you're right, she is the stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I enjoyed it. Like, you know, did you feel because
we put a meme out last night?

Speaker 8 (13:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
You feeling about that?

Speaker 8 (13:16):
Well?

Speaker 2 (13:17):
I was kind of like to say it was too.
It was about Raisor Robinson, Scott Robinson dances breakdancing, and
I was like, this is what we want to see
on Saturday night too, legends of breakdancing doing this.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
It was a nice meme, That's what it's meant to me.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
But now, yeah, I don't know, I get some aheaded
about all stuff.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
You're not sliding into a DM threatening her life.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I guarantee being's gonna get that mean pulled down the show.
But yeah, Reagan and Australian legend now, and I just
want to out of these three, who do you think
is the more legendary Australian legend. Okay, first up, Lara Bingle,
Where the bloody how.

Speaker 11 (13:49):
Are you are you?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Probably one of the more aggressive tourism campaigns you'll find
you're home. She's the same the same scene as I
say to my son when he calls me to tell
him with me to pick him up from somewhere.

Speaker 9 (14:04):
He's not there.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Where the bloody hell are you? Nowadays?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Nowadays she is married to Sam Worthington, who is the
main actor in Avatar. The Avatar really by they got
three kids. Yeah, see, that's where the bloody hell she is.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
She will see well. Congratulations to Lara Bengle Ray, who
was the gentleman who is retelling a story of his
encounter with some aggressive dogs in the neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I came out into the front yard and dogs were
across the day and as soon as they saw me,
they came bounding over.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I love it the whole time. His wife was standing
right beside him, dead pin doesn't even flinch. Race tell
her the dog story again. There we go, or Elf Stewart,
given dam, have you got two eyes or fifteen flaming eyes?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
And you don't just go wandering off leaving the flaming
chips in the friars, the.

Speaker 9 (14:55):
Flame and cry.

Speaker 11 (14:58):
Cru technology.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
What's the point out of this blaming on the emergency channel?

Speaker 9 (15:04):
Why is an innocent man you blame and.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Help? There's blood. Prescire has been through the ruth. I
know he woke up and he was just angry, angry
at anyone.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
In Summer Bay, wandering around Summer Bay, just abusing people.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
So would you as raygun beating those people.

Speaker 4 (15:21):

other guy's Ray and then there's Ray.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yes heroes all right Ray Headley, Yeah, alright, there you go.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
The Australian legends. We love reagun congratulations.

Speaker 8 (15:35):
The hits that Jonaan Ben podcast us to Taylor.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
We love the stories that you tell us about what
happens with your parents there in Australia.

Speaker 11 (15:44):
Mate, never a dull moment in that house. Honestly, what
will start off with a innocent face time ends up
being such a debacle. So I facetimed then when I
was off sick, because I was like, help me but myself.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
You're a few days at home win soon. Now you
face times, Sue, which I find very interesting. You FaceTime
sue your mum every day.

Speaker 12 (16:04):
Yeah, well, like I'm about to say, there's always something
gone in that now it's the best soap obraa going.

Speaker 11 (16:11):
So I facetimed them and Mum was being fine on
the phone, but I could sense Dad was hovering over
her shoulder be and he wasn't.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Saying much tension. There is tension, which is.

Speaker 11 (16:21):
Rare for them because they're the type of people that
if there's an issue, they'll just go at each other
in the moment. And I was like, oh god, this
was too serious. And I was like, what's wrong with
you two?

Speaker 1 (16:30):
She just nothing, and I was like, something's wrong. I know,
I've been married for a few years now. Nothing means
there's a whole lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 11 (16:38):
Normally she just said, oh, I'm married to an idiot.
But you know, this was like nothing. I was like, oh,
come on, tell me now, what's wrong? And she goes, well,
do you want to explain to ang?

Speaker 1 (16:48):
And He's gone, you do anything too, And.

Speaker 11 (16:50):
I was like, here we go, tell me what's happened.
So my mom has hung up this brand new mirror
on a wall, right, nice decorative peace and the wall
faces my dad's study which is like his man cave.
He's in there for hours at a day. I was
doing what He's got a huge iTunes library and so

(17:14):
but she can see now everything he's doing in the
study from the couch of the mirror.

Speaker 12 (17:22):
Some may say it was a strategic.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Move and hasn't figured out he needs to just shut
their door attached exactly exactly.

Speaker 11 (17:32):
So she's watching a harmless episode of the Sopranos as
they do.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
That's the favorite. So I think that because they can
relate a lot. And Dad's away in.

Speaker 11 (17:43):
Dad's away at the computer typing, and Tony Sopranos starts
complaining about his chef and how miserable he's been and
he won't help around the business and.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
He's a real like low lifer.

Speaker 11 (17:54):
And my mom goes just being finally, guys, sounds familiar,
and my dad has gone.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
And stuck the burn up at him. He's study. He's
not the study.

Speaker 12 (18:06):
He's in the study. And she's looked in the mirror,
chest sucked in edge. I saw that he gets up
so fast like you hear the study chair move? No
what chest you've been caught? I saw everything in the mirror,
So why I didn't do anything.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
There's a fly in my hair, my head.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Swatting a fly with one.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Finger as you do as you do. You don't need
a fullhead for a.

Speaker 11 (18:33):
Fly, literally, And he's denying it, and she I saw
everything you.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I won't say this because she's thinking how many other
times has he pulled telling me this?

Speaker 11 (18:44):
And I go, mom, I've been around you all the
time when dad's turning back and you've done the fingers
to his back.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, but he's too dumb to.

Speaker 11 (18:52):
Realize, Taylor, I said, you know what, I'm gonna go.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Guys pasture, there's probably say worse things to each other's face,
but this is.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
This is really taking it on. So she's not coping
that it could be like a traditional Tian gesture where
it's like I love you, so the finger is the eye.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's like, you didn't even see me do the heart
and then point in the moment that you can't come
up with it all right, son?

Speaker 1 (19:17):
The hats for seven. I don't know if it's imagine.
It's not the only one in this relationship. There are
a lot of people listening right now who are relating
to that finger story. You know, let's open up the
finger confessional.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Okays, do you need to confess to secretly pulling the
fingers that your partner in the finger confessional?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, you don't have to say what the like, Hi,
my name's my name is jan I pulled the fingers.

Speaker 8 (19:45):
That's what happened with the hats that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
It's five o'clock somewhere, always five o'clock.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I fel like it's not five o'clock. It's probably five
o'clock somewhere.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Early in the morning where you are.

Speaker 8 (19:59):
Mum.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, you're right, they're very shaky excuse so listen, No
one's wanting to take part of my finger confessional.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
We had produced Taylor on saying.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Her dad was caught admit to pulling fingers to their
partner in another room.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
So he was caught on mirror by.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Would you like to admit to, like, when's the occasions
that you've secretly pulled the fingers?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
You know, junior wife or colleagues, bosses, you know. Listen,
I'd say in every relationship, there's been times with people
of Megan, we've all admitted his eye rolls.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
I've definitely done eye roll.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, Ben, have you done I did?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Like you used to like the back of the day
when you wanted to pull the fingers in the car
but you didn't want them to see, and you sort
of pull it against the door, you know, like the door,
so you went. Actually, it was like trying to be
cool but not actually cold, because I was never didn't
want to deal with I was always too scared, last
school whatever. But it was always too scared for them
to actually see me pull the fingers.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
So you remember school, so you could put your hand
in front of the finger too, so you just be like, yeah,
little surreptitious little thing.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
You don't know what's behind here.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
But listen, I do a lot of shaky things in
their relationship, so I'm sure the fingers have been pulled
at me. The other day, I was standing beside the
fridge and we've reached that stage in marriage where Jen
was like, move aside, qut.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
And then she looked at me. She's like just saying,
I'm pulling to the dog, and the dog was down there,
and I was like, I know you're talking to me.
She's like, I definitely wasn't. So we got that someone's
phone through for the finger Confessional. Anonymous. Welcome, Welcome to
the Hello, you've you've secretly pulled the fingers at your
partner in another room when they were watching.

Speaker 7 (21:30):
Well, actually, I just heard that no one had called
for her about the partner one.

Speaker 13 (21:33):
I'm a teacher, hence my I'm anonymous right now, okay,
And I can just confess on behalf of a lot
of teachers, especially of high.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
School when we have a big argument with them.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
Or they decide they're going to get smart, we don't
get to say what we want to say, but they
get what they want the room and.

Speaker 7 (21:51):
We will pretty much always just pulled the finger.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I do not blame you. I'll be back in a
second and get your textbooks out.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
We'll go back to Yeah, very professional teachers are amazing.

Speaker 9 (22:07):
Aren't they?

Speaker 4 (22:08):
Like, You're right, I can say what I want to
my kids, but if they're addict.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
To you, like, what are you going to do.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
That? John and Ben podcast the Paris Olympics.

Speaker 2 (22:19):

Zealand team and one of the stars got gold. He
Muna waved at the start, which went viral as well.
Near one gold in the Salem Kayak for us as
with us in the studio right now, Finn Butcher, how
are you great to.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Have you here, Good morning mate, thank you.

Wow to see your old mate, Finn Butcher. That's what
I've been calling. Nothing meets the man Butcher's mate, and
nothing meets you and the kayak too. Congratulations, thank you
very much.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
It's been it's been pretty effect Yeah. I loved every
minute and it was good fun.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
And do you it felt to maybe a lot of
viewers that like, what is this wild sport? Never never
seen this before?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
It is wild when you're watch it's well, you drop in.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
I mean, I don't want to man explain your sports,
but but anyone, it hasn't it. You're dropping in and
it's like basically paddling through like a spin cycle of
a washing machine, doesn't it?

Speaker 9 (23:05):
Yeah? Pretty much?

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yeah, four people all at once and unreal spectators. But
I've heard real good things from from home about the
coverage and stuff.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
So yeah, how many how many oars of your head
to the face because.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
You all, you need to be honest, wear a mouth
guarden like you have to wear a certain helmet and
that kind of stuff just to make sure. But basically
you get disqualified if you if you hit anyone like
in the face with with your boat or pedal, then
take a few hits and again.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Purposefully or you're not allowed to hit each other at all.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, you can, like you can hurt each other, just
not in the head. A lot of just yeah yeah,
so like you can cook.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
I mean like a lot of the tactics and that
you need to hit the boat to kind of overtake people.
I remember thinking like just right at the start, like holy,
right over here, yeah, yeah, we're we're on here. And
then but it's just like you're so like in the
zone and it's only like sixty five seconds or sixty seconds,
so like you just fully scending it and then got

(24:03):
to the last art stream, still leading, and I could
feeling behind me for that whole middle section, but then
you created a bit more of a gap and managed
to do the last up by myself and then just
floating it or not floating, I was paddling out of it,
and down to the finish line. Was just like holy,
like looking to the looking to the bank and all
my all my friends and stuff cheering me on.

Speaker 9 (24:22):
It was pretty epic. That's so cool.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, so you got the middle and we're just Megan,
You're holding it right now.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
It's a lot heavier than you grow heavy to the
point where the bit around your neck has started to
perish a little bit.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Is that due to the weight of the middle Yeah,
I guess so.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Yeah, I've been wearing it a lot, so getting a
bit worn out.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Also, the hicks again on the front of it is gray.
Is that true that that's like part of the Eiffel Tower?

Speaker 8 (24:48):
It is.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Yeah, so that's just like a piece of the piece
of iron from from the Eiffel Tower. So I think
when they renovate it, or you replace a few beams
and stuff that keeping them in.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Storage, let's go home replace Yeah, fule towel of just
these little hicsigans. Just cut out the lead.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
And you get as well as it like a little
box as well as that got like a drawing in
it as well.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
The box. Yeah on the podium, the box I got you. Yeah, yeah,
that's like a poster, gotcha.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
Yes, I haven't opened it yet, but I know, well,
like i'd already bought the poster from the gift shop.
My coach was like, you shouldn't have bought that poster,
save save dirty euros.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
What is it like standing on the podium after all
the work, years and years of work you've.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Poured into this and the national anthems, playing with the
middle around your neck.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Yeah, it was insane, like pretty airpack. Like as soon
as you finish, it's like everything's just hicctic, Like they
just rush you away straight for the middle because you
just rush away, get changed, and then straight on the
podium pretty much. So it's like everything's just all at once,
all their motions all at once, and then like it's
kind of like that that moment where the flag's getting
raised in the middle and you're just like whoa, Yeah,

(26:00):
this is crazy, but it was a special moment.

Speaker 9 (26:03):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Won't forget how many text messages have you?

Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, phone, I had to turn off the notifications for
like Instagram and Facebook, Messiger and stuff because it was
just going. My phone was actually like glitching out because
it was too many. So yeah, I'm still working through them.
So anyone listens, thank you so much.

Speaker 9 (26:22):
But we'll get there.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
You'll get a reply for me eventually, a copy and
paste job, copy paste copy. Yeah, the thumbs up, that's them,
and you've contributed to a beast in a middle hall. Yeah,
ten goals.

Speaker 9 (26:37):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
Now. The team was over there, and I think we
had like such a good like the crew behind the
scenes put together like such a good performance environment.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
And thank you so much for coming in mate. We

the Olympics. You guys made us all so proud and
congratulations on the greatest Olympics ever for New Zealand.

south so and that's gonna be good.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
You've got some ds to reply to a few hours to.

Speaker 8 (27:11):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
A genius hack that I've I've sort of started to
use from time to time.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
This is to see if you've got a scam phone call.
I often get these, like from all kinds of I
don't know, maybe it's.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
The Data League my phone. I'm given to lots of people.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
But I get them all the time.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
There's always the New Zealand Transport Agency. They're like, mate,
guess what your cow is going to run out of?
What it's going to run out of? Me?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
You're like, no, please keep it going.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
And I don't like getting on the phone to someone
and being like, no, leave me alone. I'd rather just
not answer the phone. So now when the phone rings
and it's a number I don't know, I quickly google
the number. And it's happened over the past couple of
days that I've managed to google it while the phone
is still ringing. One time it was a scam, and
one time it was my laser place, being like, we
need to risked you you so like it.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Was rescheduled the laser Yeah, I think when you do
reschedule for why do you want to come along? I
just like to just kidding about hearing. So Bean was
do you think it's hearing? But that is a great hay,
But you need rock solid Wi Fi and quick google. Yah.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
If you miss it, you can't just call them and
oh that's the laser place and call them back.

Speaker 9 (28:21):
Sorry, just missed call.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah. I didn't want to answer. It was being paranoid
googling you on the engineer because it was one number.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
It was just it just looked like an Aukland number
and when I googled it, it was like online scam
and I was like, amazing, not going to answer that one.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, although the other day I had a bit of
a shocker because I don't like answering numbers. I'm like,
you don't answer private numbers. Don't answer numbers that I
don't know, and it.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Was it was problematic for medium PJ who for about
two months We're trying to prank them. They're like, do
you have to get hold of because we call him
every day he doesn't answer the phone.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I was like, you know, you're not going to get him.
I was expecting someone to come around to do something.
The other day I watched him. Thing was on the
black and I missed the number and I was like, oh,
that'll be there, and I caught it back. It was
a scammer called the scammer back and I was like,
what is this guy was like, great, this person's called me.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's like a fish jumping into the boat. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
And then afterwards I looked at it, I was like,
it was a UK number and I'm like, what was
I thinking? I just wasn't thinking just straight.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Away, not only did you call the scammer bat you
paid for the.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Imagine as a scammer, you'd be a bit suspicious about
every phone call you received to was it was a
scammer on Edge. The scammer was a little bit.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
It was about to do with my computer software or something,
and I'm like, this is clearly a scam so I
kind of hung up on but he didn't. I didn't
feel like the scammer gave it their best performance. I
didn't give it my best performance.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
I was on my bloody morning tea bread, I was
on the smokeo. It was like, you're fixing the washing machine.
They're like no.

Speaker 8 (29:41):
Then it was.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
It was a weird never had any idiot's actually called
me back.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I transferred transferred a lot of money into the account
just to make them feel bit.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Don't want to waste that.

Speaker 8 (29:53):
Johnaan Ben Podcast.

Speaker 2 (29:55):

out to the Internet, to the because there's a lot
of be things said about the Internet, and there's the

defend the heroes there. I've noticed there's a few everyday
heroes coming through in the comment section of the Internet.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
But then click on the comments, and then someone had
written reporter congratulated Blake on a little bump being pregnant.
Blake responded with, congratulations on your little bump, She's not pregnant.
Then Blake and the actor kind of ignored the interviewer
for large parts there saved you a click.

He kind of he kind of had a bit of
a master playing a little bit with the boys, didn't
he you know, as far as even when ghost it
with the instruments for you guys.

Speaker 9 (34:33):
Legitimately we we like kind of recall on Christmas and
birthdays and it was just like very intentionally, Josh gets
a keyboard, and then and then and then a piano,
and then like I got a ukulele, just like while
we were sleeping, he's just going.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
He's ended up playing drums with you guys as well.

Speaker 9 (34:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty wild. But he didn't play drums
or were not really like he's like a superman, so
like he was a wicked guitarist, like phenomenal. And then yeah,
we didn't have a drummer, so we asked him at
first he said no, but yeah, then we look, we're
going on tour with six sixty Yeah, and then he
said yes. And then the first show we walk out,

(35:14):
it was in I think Brisbane, and you know, six
sixty shows all over the world, tens and tens of
thousands of people, and he kind of walks out on stage.
I just remember this stick hit him in the back
of the head on stage. I turned, He's standing there
like I couldn't get a smaller gig to start.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Is it fun touring with Dead Yeah, it's awesome, a
great relationship. So he basically was like, you guys are
going to be a band. That's that was the only option.

Speaker 9 (35:39):
It just forced us think of Joe Jackson.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
It's so interesting being smacked as a twenty eight year older.
Now does he give you some pretty harsh reviews after
a show.

Speaker 9 (35:53):
He's very proud of us, but hard to impress because
he's really good. So you know, he's just stoked with
everything we're doing. But you know, you come off stage

The North or the South?

Speaker 8 (38:43):
Who's having the best weekends?

Speaker 2 (38:45):
And we'll go to Haley in the North corner and
the South run the hats and find out, so they'll
put their case for what they think is going to.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Be the best silent this weekend. Now, welcome you too.
How are you.

Speaker 13 (38:57):
Recovering from the last last week?

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Sorry? A brutal loss for Haley last week? Wasn't it
a couple of big losses in Wellington? Last week? You
hit the All Blacks and Haley? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (39:10):
Yeah, I feel like hopefully this is going to be
the weekend for redemption, or as close to it as
we can get anyway.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Okay, well are you going to kick it off? I
was going to say you could have an advantage bullying
Conna go first, but no, she's ripping the plaster off, Haley,
take it away. What filth have you unearthed?

Speaker 13 (39:26):
Yeah, we might as well ripe the plaster rock get
it done. I've got the All Blacks taken on Argentina
the Plumbers this Saturday night at Eden Park at seven o'clock. Now,
last week you thank you for bringing up the lost
lost by eight points, which is never an easy one
to stomach.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
She's included the All Blacks this week because you guys.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Yeah we did last week. Yeah you didn't even say it.
Yeah you had like an interesting knitting festival or something
that you'd gone with got and.

Speaker 13 (39:55):
I was feeling so confident and then my confidence is unraveled,
especially when I lost. You know what, I will mention
the all this week. Maybe that's why they lost last
week because they didn't have the you know, the hits.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Yeah, we're not being past the part of the best weekend,
so you got.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
I think it was the pre team talk razors like gods,
I'm sorry, so we went part of the this weekend.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Okay, what else in the North Island and.

Speaker 13 (40:20):
Then forgetting thishing, we've got a garden festival. So we've
got the Whited Upper Gardens Fea Easter and Carston Saturday
and it's one huge day run by the AMP show
this festival, Uh, these plants, this produced and everything for
garden which I'm a little bit crazy for not even
one's cup of tea, but I'm hoping, you know, balance

(40:42):
of sport gardening and you know, just.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Stipulate there will be plants there I mean you'd be
really you'd feel really really robbed if you turned up
to the garden Festival and there was zero fauna.

Speaker 13 (40:54):
You know, economic times, it's hard.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Thanks Haley.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
All right, Connor, you've heard what Hey the gauntlet that
Hayley's laid down Southland.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
Cornlet are you guys? You guys like happy endings?

Speaker 2 (41:09):
We do a favorite box always ending with a happy ending.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Movies, Disney movies. Exactly great, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (41:16):
That was just a test.

Speaker 7 (41:17):
Actually, some of this community theater company a brand new
show called Happy Endings. Awesome local you guys that have
been there for a swim at Scarborough Beach or some
of the beach at some point.

Speaker 9 (41:30):
I'm sure it is beautiful there.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
It is beautiful there, local theater. Happy what's the show
Happy Ending about.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
It's about two adults who have a wonderful life. They
get married, but then what comes after? The happily ever after?
So the fairy tale for adults will run for eight nights.
It's at the Cork Sumner Things and it's going to
be an awesome, awesome few nights there and Sumner.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
There we go, Happy ending on a local theater for you.
What else? Connor? In the South, Mate, I'm.

Speaker 7 (41:58):
Really confused by this one. Currently, Usher like Usher, you know,
Usher Baby is performing at the New World and Queenstown.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Usher Usher, Wow, he was super bowler at the Southern Year.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Wasn't this?

Speaker 7 (42:13):
What I've got here is get ready to be captivated
by the mesmerizing events. Usher coming to Queenstown held up
the prestigious New World's Queenstown venue. So I'm a little
skeptical about this as I can't imagine Usher has decided
the ordeal with food stuff and perform in a New World.
But we'll see what happens. I guess on the weekend.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
I wouldn't mind seeing Usher at the supermarket.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
It does wow, Hayley, he came to the All Blacks.
No one's going to top the All Blacks.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
But Usher at a New World. I feel like, wow,
that event. What I'm gonna do. I'm going to give
it to Connor.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
But if it's not actually Usher at the New World,
then kind of loses it next week and I'll give
it to you next.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Week, all right?

Speaker 13 (42:58):
In fact, what a breath next week? Then to find
out the results.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Hey, you know, we'll hold this result. We'll call Lusher,
We'll call New World next Michael Usha don't have his number,
we call, We'll call you World nets if they can
confirm ACTA will be performing. The Connor officially wins if
they can't. If they can't, it's yours, okay.

Speaker 8 (43:18):
Over the heads that John and Ben podcast.

Queenstown and we're just going to go through to the
