Speaker 1 (00:00):
This jonaman Ben podcast brought to you by Hello Fresh,
the Experts and Tastes that Keeping Your Life performances. Last
couple of weeks, I've been doing a little bit of
work with my daughter event called band Quist. Now. I
wish this was around when I was at school. It's
kids up to the age of intermedia. It's a primary
school intermedic kids that get their school bands together and
they all play two rock songs covers on stage. It
(00:20):
goes happens around the country. First time witnessing it over
the past year a couple of weeks, and it's amazing
to see these kids buzzing at the end, and little
kids is last night there was a six and a
half six and a half year old. We were rocking out.
He was singing Blur and Wheezer and you know, it
was just really really cool to see and they're just
buzzing at the end of it. It's really cool. And
other kids supporting them, getting up, dancing and cheering them
(00:42):
on it. It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, it's lovely when you see kids getting out there
and being vulnerable because it's hard to get up on
a stage.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, they've got the lights, they've got all the rock
moves as well. They're busting out GNR and Zombie from
the Cranberries and tell us you know, all these great.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Songs as well. But are you like the judge.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
You have to be like thanktfully. Like, my daughter and
I were just talking backstage. We're doing backstage interviews, which
is great, you get them beforehand, you get them afterwards
and things like that. But there's all six and a
half year old who was amazing, just just incredible. Were
chatting to him and his band, and they've all got merch.
They've all got their faces on on on hoodies, basically
their own face. They're on faces. I'm like, oh, how
(01:23):
do I get one of those these bits of sweet merch.
One of the other kids is like, well, my mum
only made four.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well they didn't really think that they shifts many units.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And I was just bandering and then the six and
a half year old was like, oh, you got roasted, bro,
And everyone was like oh.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I was like, oh, just because he's in my moment
made four.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I was like, was that a roasting?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Is that you should be like your mum's making your merch?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
But you know, when I six and a half year
old and like, oh wow, was that roasting?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah? Did you Yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Know that situation. I didn't clap back, but I thought, well,
maybe you don't. You know, you have to sort of
taken on the chad, don't you.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, And that sucks because you know you would be
far better at back and forth bend.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
But I was like, no, stay out of it. Yeah,
they were incredible.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Back off you need the organizers walk in just as
you're like burning them back like what's happening here?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Ben, they were saying, because they go right around the country.
They had a bit in Hamilton the other day and
a young kid, I think it was about eight or nine,
was they were singing rage you gets a Machine. They
came out one of the songs killing Did they do
the full this is the thing that is the organizer's
got to I don't know how well you know that song,
but it's a part of the song.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
That is multiple tony times.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And then they're like, what's happening. It's building up to this.
They're all watching and then the kid was like, hey you,
I won't do what you told me, But multiple times
I was like, oh hey you was a lot more
firmly friendly than the what Regie, what you told me?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
If you said that?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Funny because a clip on Instagram that pops up and
is Regie gets some machine performing live on the BBC,
and the BBC obviously told them, hey, well five can
you not?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Can you do it? Hey you, I won't do what
you told me?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Can you do a band?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
He just came even we looked harder, like it sounded
more cutting, and it went over like it went through
about ten times in a row and then just cut
transmission cut, and.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Then they're like, apologies about that. We have a weird
woman that we were alive.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We must acknowledge a day that has probably been's mostly
least favored in the calendar year.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, his actual birthday.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, I just yeah, I don't know what kind of
when you get to as you get older, you kind
of like rather birthdays and roll around so fast.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It's probably now this is just coming fresh off Megan
Papa's birthday. But there was a day. It was a
five week.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Long extravaganza on account that was.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
A special birthday.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That wasn't that Yeah yeah, yeah, but you know, there
was there was lunches, there was there was things, digital billboards,
it was balloons.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You was messages from family, kids, all sorts.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You couldn't get a whole opposite approach to the rather.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Focus on other people, to be honest, And my daughter said,
there's your birthday tomorrow. I was like, honestly, I'd forgotten.
She's like, man, I'm planning for months my birthday. They
count down as a cad and I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Just like, yeah, why why does it when you get older?
Why does it not turn into a celebration.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Some people do like to celebrate. I've never been a
huge birthday celebration person, you know, it's never been never
had a big twenty.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
First or anything like that that day.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, and that's great. I appreciate every year you get
to experience it as that's not you know, experience. But
I don't like I lather put producer Taylor there's a
baby shower going on, and that he's going to have
it today, and and also my birthday it was going
to be like a group coffee, which Harry is lovely
in the boss organized rather not have it, but anyway,
we do it anyway. And then she send an email,
(04:42):
you say, go cancel Ben's coffee with the team. I'm like,
yes for the birthday.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
And there was the saddest email I've ever seen beIN celebration.
Birthday celebration canceled, nothing to do with me.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I hadn't seen anything, and there was probably the greatest
birthday prison you can get.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I was stoked about it, but then it sounds like
we're going to merge our two yeah celebrations together.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Which I'm not sweet on. So you have a baby
shower in a booth, and I've.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Already having a baby shower for twins, so technically there
should be two baby showers, you know, and now I've
got to share it with this triple over there.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Look to be honest, you to celebrate your new life
and not my old life.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
And I'm going to be so quie today.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
You go, birthday boy?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Is this the first ever baby shower weird Man's birthday? Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
What's the connection here?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
What they all? You know?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
With the babies?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, I reckon it's going to be I feel no
disrespect to me. It's going to be ninety percent baby
shower tim birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I'm happy for ninety nine point nine percent baby shower.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And you want to share it, We'll share.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Every year, you're on to do this. Yeah, maybe only one.
Maybe the only one.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I'll tap out of it.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, that's the right thing to do.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Thank you, all right, you Taylor and the babies. For
the twins, I know that's what they are. Hero Thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And it's always a bit awkward to because I have
ordered stripper for now you're gonna hear the stripper.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I think your strippers appropriate for either of those two.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I'm the stripper.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It's definitely not appropriate for any of it.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast, I.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
WoT that song was playing me and you're watching an
interview with Adam Sandler talking to Travis Kelsey, who's footballer
and a relationship with Taylor Swift. He's got a podcast
with his brother and.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Is the name of the podcast. Yeah, and Adam Sandler
was on it. He started talking. It was like a
streaming at clip of him talking about Taylor Swift and
how much she means to his house. And he was like,
when you two got together, I was like, whole family
high fives every time you guys look happy.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
What I found interesting when you were playing it before
because his kids obviously love Taylor Swift. Adam Sandler's kids,
and he got to meet Taylor Swift and stuff and
hang up the kids, and he was nervous that he
was going to screw it up for his kids.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, he was a dad.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
He was like, oh god, I know how much he
means to them. I don't want to say anything.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You want to take a back.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, poor dad, And that's Adam Sandler. I mean so
probably go oh my god, this said look at.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Someone asked if he gets nervous when he meets famous people.
He's like, I get nervous when I meet Taylor. Doesn't
I want to stuff it up because she's so cool?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
For my kids.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
You did it in front of Bend some boon.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh yeah, my kids. Yeah, they've got a photo with
them and I couldn't get the I couldn't get the
fourth was like force the flesh turn the light on,
you know, so it flashes, and then I couldn't do it.
He came over from his hands behind my daughters came
over with then like a millisecond, he had it sword
and came back to my kids and he was like,
dad things, that's what he said.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, wanted to extend the photo taking process. No, it
doesn't need to be longer than it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I was like, good, it's all good. And I was like, oh, no,
force a flash. I was like what what.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Like, you're what you'd rather just take a photo and
darkness to deal with the fallout.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
My kids wouldn't have been But we've got a great photo.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Mean, you've been to the gym.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I don't want it to sound like I'm going this
just happened at the gym.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And this comes off the back of her on Monday
being complimented at the gym by the instructor for doing
good squad.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
How good?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
I was also complimented yesterday, But oh, go on about that.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
This is what were you doing yesterday?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
We were doing what do they call them jump something
jump boards on the pilates machine.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Doing a good job with them.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, pointed the toes and everything.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Do you think the instructor goes around and gives compliments
to everyone? So I was thinking, yeah, they keep it up, mate.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
There was only five in the class. Yes, today, I
would have heard.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
They definitely got to like I would.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Have heard if there was other competents.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Five people, you were the only one who got a
compliment on their jump boards. And no one else, no
one else could call the whole class. No, not even
that's it, keep it up, you know, like that's for everyone.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Not everyone was pointing their toes like I was unrelated
to what I was doing there.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
She runs a deep squad, Megan.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
So there was a woman sitting there on the side,
like on a seat. There's a little seat there. She
was sitting there. She wasn't in gym clothes, and I'm like, wait,
what's happening here? And it turns out there was a
guy beside me on a machine.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
And what was his for? Like was he getting complimented?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
He looked new, new, But she was there. Two they
were together, and she was popping over every now and
then to tell m he was doing things.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Wrong, to help out consulting.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, but she was also just sitting there watching the
whole time and non gym gear, and I was like, what,
why why?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Maybe he's brought on his own professional compliment. Yeah, I'll
pay you boy.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
It definitely seemed like they were a couple.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
She sometimes it can be a little intimidating walking into
a class for the first time. Maybe you need someone
to come.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Along and just you don't think that she was like
keeping an eye on him around all.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Then No, he would have been like, I've started this
class and this bloody narcissist, right lady from the radio
keeps getting all the compliments.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I just want one compliment. She's like, I've done a
bit of this. I'll get you on, I'll get you.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Up to speak. You come along, help we get some Yeah,
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Get an I would have heard dead.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I was the only one who want to complimate what the.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Now, car technology is really involved.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Like we're sitting in an era where driverless cars are
in San Francisco causing absolute nuisance, running people, over riding
on footpaths.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
We're getting there.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, we're not. We're not quite there, but we are
kind of there in a way. Yeah, sand Fan, we early.
We talked about it the other day and they can
get an ubers there are driverless and it's causing some jambles.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I saw one the other day just in a car park,
just like driving into other cars.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, one day we'll get there. And you know, we're
talking about flying cars.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We're just talking one thing that I have an issue
with the car industry, and you might experience this to
at home. If you're if you've got these two cars
in the household, if I drive my wife's car, who
are indicators on the different side to my indicator? Why
can't Why can't as an industry, if we're talking about
driverless cars, they just get have a whoy and go
what Okay, let's just I don't care what side of this,
but let's just peck a side that we put the
(10:55):
indicator on, because then you get them back into your
car and you'll flicking the other one for about you know,
half an hour, I know.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
And then you're driving down the road and your wipers
are going and.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
You're like you're not like you're look like a moron.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Someone's toning at you because you didn't indicate, and I'm like, well,
my wipe is are going and it's not raining, so
clearly I had an issue.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah, just look at my wipeers. That's the way I
want to go.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
My wipers are on.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I love what I do. Like it when you see
other people doing that, because you know exactly what you've.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Been driving another car? Is it a European American things?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
The European cars are on the other other road.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's the I think that's the way.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
But then the American cars are on the other side of
the road, right, and there's no.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Rhyme or reason. I'm sure there is a rhyme or reason.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I mean, we drive on one side of the road here,
but we have on both sides. So you're right, let's
just agree on one side.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
This is an old, old territory.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But we'll go over it again the picture but with
the bloody hole for the picture things.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
But they're on the same side.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
No, But then we all queue up like that's good
because this is always a pump, you know, like we're
alternating pumps.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Hey, hey, good boy.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, I take that one back because I thought of
that before.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
He is the love of the pumps. You did, right?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Have you ever had the moment? I had it the other
day where you you drive up, you're on the wrong side.
You get out, you're like, oh, it's the wrong side.
And then some reason I looped around and went to
another lane and was on the wrong side again. I'm like,
how did I How did I screw this up? I
came back in the world and I was like, oh
my god, what have I done?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
No matter how many times you feel out your car,
there's always that seed of doubt, like am I on
the right side and you.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Have an arrow? Yeah, there is that little arrow on cars,
isn't that? But I don't know it's I get very.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Confused, do you know you can?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I saw someone the other day this was and again simple,
I don't know why I hadn't thought of it. They
just reversed beckon, pull out reverse beckons.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
That's yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
The hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Olympics I start today and we actually joined right now
by a former middleist from the Paralympics. He's got a
new documentary. It's called The Blind Sea. He's the world's
greatest blind surfer. His name is Matt Thaunston and he
joins us on the phone right now.
Speaker 7 (12:58):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Now, can we firstly apologize we're actually bit heavy on
the show yesterday Zoom muck up that we said, oh,
we don't know what happened Zoom's folk. Well, now we've
done some investigation, we do know what happened. John O,
who I do the show with us here right now.
He didn't he didn't admit you into the room. It's
all on John O.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Boys, I'm definitely not the most technology of the seven
person myself and potentially haven't died in to cause myself.
So let's call it a bit of calmer.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, you were sitting there for forty minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Politely, we said it was like you turning up to
my house, me being inside and not answering the door.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
So apologies met, We've got that out of the way.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Hey, now, the new documentary The Blind Seed looks incredible.
People don't know your story, which they can learn a
lot more about in the documentary. Can you take us
back because age five, you've been living with three percent
of your vision?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Is that right?
Speaker 7 (13:47):
I was born with full vision, we believe. So all
the photos of me up until at the age of five,
I'm looking straight at the camera, and then from and
then I was diagnosed with macula dystrophe when I was five,
lost about ninety five percent of my vision, and then
lost about another couple of percent in the last couple
of years. So I've got essentially now I've got three
percent left in my good eye my right eye, on
about one percent in my bad eye. Like imagine if
it's like pouring with rain in three windscreen and you
(14:09):
can sort of see a few shapes and lines and
a bit of color. That's all I can see the
outside of my ass.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And you are a surfer as well, hints to name
the blind surfer and a big wave multiple world champion.
How does surfing happen when you can't sensibly see what
you're doing.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
As soon as they hear the word blind and then
the word surfing, they just they can't join those two
words together. So the film The Blind See it's about
It's about my journey. I'm a four time world champion surfer,
so that's not in big waves. It's high performance surfing
like on smaller waves. But then of one of few
bigger waive awards as well, and it's sort of different
way I approach those two different things as a blind surfer.
(14:44):
But essentially when I'm in the water, my board becomes
my cane. So once I'm on the way, like the
way I get into the waves is different because paddling
in smaller waves, I get someone talking to me, and
then we paddle into the wave. On big waves and
getting towed in and the boys by a whistle when
they want me to when I've got me in the
right spot, have to trust and pull the open drop
down the wave. On the wave, it's just feeling with
(15:05):
my feet, so my front foot basically becomes my cane
and I'm feeling my way across the wave.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So these waves that So the documentary is about you
going to serve some of the biggest waves in the world,
like fifty one feet or something like that in Portugal.
I mean incredible. I mean people talking, you know, where
people with full vision either death or glory basically on
these waves. But you do it out there, I mean,
how was that?
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Oh, it's just heaps of fun, to be honest, I
think if if you're going the place is called Nazuetes,
well it's it's the biggest wave in the world where
all the world records are set in Portugal. There it's
you know a lot of people have probably seen YouTube
or Instagram e clips of it, the waves smashing against
the headland there with the fort or the lighthouse on
the headland. That's pretty iconic. So the sport it's actually
the biggest tourist attraction in Portugal. Now more people go
(15:49):
to Portugal to see that wave than for anything else.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But so what happens when you get like dumped from
a wave when you're you know what was then? Like, well,
how does you connect with with whever on else and
your team?
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Yeah, it's teamwork, and for anyone over there, it's teamwork,
but for me it's obviously on steroids for the team
actually made. I served there for three days and in
that sort of fifty foot range, which people can't even
fathom that, But it's about driving around. It's about a
five story building. That's how big the wave is. So
it's a lot of water. But yeah, once you go down,
it's just about being calm and then the boys get
(16:20):
you know, eventually get to me, and you've got to
I mean, the the way I trained for that, I
held my in training, I could hold my breath for
my longest breath hold underwater. Think about what a long
time is in your head, like put a time on it.
Five minutes forty eight was my longest breath hold.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, Because so when you do go underwater and you dump,
do you know which way is up?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Well, no one does.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
Like when you're getting melted by a wave that much water,
you know, you think about how many swimm pools landing
on your head. That's no one knows which ways up.
So you just got to stay calm and eventually the
wave will let you go.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
And what would you say to people you know listening
and you know, because you talk a lot about you know,
there's no such word as can't really.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
When it comes to things, the human potential is untapped.
Like we're all pretty comfortable in our own skins, and
we're all scared of making big targets because we're scared
of failing. And then we're also scared of doing the
work right because when you say I'm going to do
something big, that requires you doing some work. So I mean,
I think if we order set a bigger tasks, targets
and work a bit harder, we can all make the
(17:16):
world a better place.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It's a really great way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
So being are you going to go big wave surfing
now in Portugal?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Have been never surfed before? Well, hey, there's no as
weird as cart I can't, you know, like it seems
like we've going zero for it to one hundred.
Speaker 3 (17:33):

the Yeah, it's all about doing the work right.

Speaker 7 (17:41):
But maybe instead of going surfing Portugal, you could find
a way to cure world hunger.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
That might Yeah, that's more achievable surfing.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I could do something it surfing this afternoon, by you

Wind and rain around the country today looks spretty rubbish
for most of the country. Thunderstorms. I'm not so good,
but it is.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
The country sleeps till springs.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
What have you got another county. Do you run a
spring countdown as well as the daylight savings countdown?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, are hand in hand. That's through three sleeps till spring.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
The fourth eighty seven would love to open this up
with New Zealand's Breakfast Today is adults Activity injuries. It's
the moment in your life where you realize my body
is no longer designed to do this activity. Now I
did mentioned at the end of the show yesterday went
on a wild sprinting regime three o'clock yesterday morning, is
(18:48):
like getting up going, I'm going sprinting. I'm going to
become a sprinter.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Well you actually think you're going to become a sprinter
or what?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Was?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
No? No, I was just like, is this just like
this would be a good training regime?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Give it a go. I never done well, I hadn't
done sp thinks it's the primary school.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It was no good at it.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The end turns out forty two, you know, and forty
two Now I haven't got any better at it.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
But it was just like spread as fast as you can.
So I was like running.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I was looking at fourteen and a half k's as
the speed top speed could. My body could not do
anything like it's probably three k's beyond what my body
should be doing.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Like it was like, please stop, what are you doing
to me?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
You did hear that right? He said three am that
he was doing. Did you warm up beforehand?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Up and down the raad year give me a couple of
stretches of the old hemis.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You're ready to go? You haven't spread since again, not
even at a hotel like I tell you what I love.
If you stay at a hotel at the corridors, nothing
makes you feel like you're running faster than when you
run down a corridor. I don't know what it is,
Tom Cruise Mission.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Impossible down a corridor.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I just love it. I love it. It's a little
bit of a wild well. Think if someone walks out
the cord, yeah, I know that, maybe that's part of
the rush. But run down a hotel corridor, Oh, exhilarating, exhilarating.
That's the only time I spread out much.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And and short too as well. It's a short, little but.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It makes you feel for some reason, you feel like
Noah Lyles at the well.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I was like, I was like, man, I was running
forty and a half k's that's fast, Like like I say,
my body, but the heart was like, please, what have
I done to you?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Stop?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You're not a Google.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
No Liles, when you won that gold at the peak
speed halfway through, was running at forty four kilometers an hour, forty.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Four that's wild, that is insane. The human body can
go that fast.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Meters though I get.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
As well, but yeah, all day yesterday, just like the
backs of my lead like tiny grind and as the
day went on, the pain just went deep inside of
my booty chicks, like there is a deep I've pulled something,
and both.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Checks, how are you doing that thing where you have
to like aim for the toilet and then fall.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, and just like having me having to use my
hands to sit down to and I'm like an immense
pain forty eight hours later, and I don't want to
beg on about it. You know, I'm just having to
hold onto this pain, specially because no one else, no
one made you do. Yeah, you can't really complain.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Yeah, that's okay though, because you you got up at
three am and you did some hard work. It's worse
when you're an adult and you roll out of bed
and you're like, oh, I've tweaked something.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
How did I sleep at the night?
Speaker 8 (21:15):

We have been together for ten years now.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You met obviously when you were a cheerleader. He plays
rugby league, but the warrior is now. So this conversation,
this topic of conversation was interesting think for him to
bring up. I think the fact that you met as
a cheerleaders league field now even though I.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Was like, oh, bro, he's hitting and despicy.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Territory here, what's the point of cheerleaders?
Speaker 10 (25:12):
What do you mean?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
That's what I'm asking dancing You can't tell me right,
I'm not being disrespectful I'm trying to be like, I
want to say this the nicest way possible. Right, when
people go and buy tickets to a game, they're going
to watch the team play, right, it doesn't sound the ticket.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Here's your ticket to the chair.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
It's part of the game day entertainment.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Check a few pomp poms.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Wave your head left to right.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Guess what.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I don't care. Move off the field so we can
run the ball.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Have about that.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
No one cares about you running the balls.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
So you're on the wing. People barely see you. Okay,
so shut up. You're one step away from the action cheerleaders.
You're the closest player becoming a cheerleader.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Shut up.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
On that side of the one.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Get off so we can run the ball.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah, kick, I love you. So you felt like you
were about fifty and then all of a sudden you
wrapped up to it out.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
He knows exactly what, but yeah, I love it when
you're like, damn, I got a good point and you
just you scream it down.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, great example.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, what's the point of cheerleaders? Are to become your
wife and lassellar? Yeah exactly, you're a fan.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
It's another episode out.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Today Today yeah, more about how the twins are going
to be cheerleaders.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I listened to it and I'm like, who's the poor
soul that has to edit this?
Speaker 6 (26:34):
I know our for producer Adam may'ses editing that thing.
You must need to go to therapy after every.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Single heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Told off?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
You? You got told off using my cell phone on
the fore court? Oh ever been told off?
Speaker 8 (26:54):
Then?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
By no, just another purchase a bloody sticky bigs someone
that's been debunked.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I thought so, Like.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
The signs obviously, but it doesn't there anymore.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
I have you checked, because when I got told off?
I checked the sign?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Has anyone ever exploded sending a text message on the
fore court of a picture or even looking at an
email on Gmail?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I'm pretty sure it's been taken off. It seems to
turn your car off, But I don't think there's cell
phones on those little signs anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Also along the same lines, has anyone ever you seen
a plane plummeting into the earth by firing off an.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Email not putting your phone on? I don't know. Maybe
they have, they haven't.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
What is the deal with that interfere does it interfere with.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
The navigational navigational equipment. And I mean to be fair,
if you want to not interfere, you know, it's probably best.
You're probably not going to get reception up there anyway,
so it's probably best to do what they say.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
The phones a interfering with the planes and navigational system.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Then we need to sort out the planes, we really do.
We're relying too much on on three G. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
One of them things is more detrimental than the cell
phone on the four court is the price of picture
on the four court.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
That's for damaging to me.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's damaging as well your four seven. If you know
anything about phones on the four court.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
This is the problem with us.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
We just blindly go along without asking any questions, you know,
And that's how you end up in a government and
force locked.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Okay, and you and your mate you go to parliament
with tin hats on.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
He's in charge of the microphone.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, then they turned the sprinklers on you. They had
a point, had a point.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Nowadays, you know, like they did all this again, there'll
be a lot more people imagine I'd pitch up ten's
for sure, put.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
My feces all over the law.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
God that I kept saying that, say that it was
winding everybody up. We're not going on the lawn and Parliament.
I was just saying it for a la still say
good for a laughs.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
That John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
The Torch. We had a torch, just the dolphin torch
that we found around the office. We didn't know how
amazing the batteries were inside this torch because we put
it on towards the end of the Olympics and we're like,
when our torch, our torch ceremony, when the batteries run out,
you could win five hundred dollars by correctly predicting the
time when the torch had run out. And it is,
without a word of a lie, this thing is still going.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
It's becoming torturous.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah. Three weeks later pretty much now this thing is
still going. We've got reception here at work. There's twenty
four hour reception and security looking after it. It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, So you can you can put an entry in
it that HiT's breakfast on Facebook as to when you
think this torch is going to run out. I just
don't want us to do a fade out, you know,
a fade out on the competition, because this classic us.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
We'll be like, oh, we're going to do this thing.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
It's going to carry on for two years and then
we just slowly fade out after four weeks.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Not this one. No, we ride this one out.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I may have suggested we could just turn it off. No, no,
but these two are like, no, no, no, got to
do it, legit, we're going.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Did a good joke on the both of us. You
say he came in and the torch. He was holding
the torch to his chest. He's like, guys, it's out,
and we're like what, and he's like, no, it's still
going on. And for a split second there I was like,
thank god, I know, relieve.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Both you were relieved, and then I had to go, no, sorry, guys,
it's still going. So your chance to win. You can
need to the hats breakfast on Facebook. The Paralympics of course.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Should we go Your Paralympics start today?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Should we check the torch?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Now?
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Do you want to do a c Do you want
to go check the torch with there?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Should I go?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You grab your phone mate, We'll cross live to you
half a meter away and.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The open ceremony of the Paralympics on now you can
catch on TV. I think the replay later today, which
would be awesome. We've had a wee bit of an
experience in a couple of sports. We've played wheelchair rugby, frightening.
We haven't played gold ball as well, which is another sport.
It's blind sort of footsal Yeah, everyone has blindfolds on,
but so everyone's on the same level of visually appear
(30:57):
this and you just lie down. The ball's got a
heavy almost like it's amicable with a ball in side,
and then you sort of roll that around the court
and then you have to sort of lie down and
stop it and you can hear it coming. Yeah, you're like,
oh jeez, my face. And a lot of time just
straight to the face.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, a lot of balls to the face.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
You're right being thought though. It's really impressive.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
It is now Megan Live and reception. The torch ceremony.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Is it's still alive and well with security guard Gunjan Yeah, hello.
Speaker 4 (31:24):

still alive.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Oh god, it's still going.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
It's still going.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
It's it's like when you read those stories about the
one hundred and twenty two year old still going again
and you can tell one hundred and twenty two years like,
just make it, make it in the torches in that mode.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I don't know if anyone knows about batteries anyway, you
can speed up the battery pro like can we soip
the torch up so it's going at double? Probably not right.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
