with me.
Speaker 8 (00:51):
The hard thing about and it's every radio announces worst
night mare. The hard thing about this is doing radio
in public when no one else knows you're doing radio right,
and you just look like you're talking to yourself loudly too.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Not generally people normally in their own little Yeah, it's
fair enough. Just put your pods on.
Speaker 7 (01:17):
All you're going to hear is intermittent talking as well,
because you're gonna be like, yeah, that's right, guys, this
obnoxious woman loudly on the bus.
Speaker 3 (01:27):

Megan for the first time, was going to be taking
a public bus. She has never taking a public bus.
She told us a couple of days ago, and we're like,
what astounded us? So we thought that needed to change.
Is this morning Megan is going to be doing it,
and the Megan busus is coming.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
The Meghan bus is coming, and now come on in, Megan.
Speaker 3 (02:29):

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Or we're not not quite yet?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
No, I've I've caught an uber and I'm going to
get dropped off somewhere where I have to get.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
A bus undisclosed location we're going to be dropping you
off at, and then you've got to make your way back.
I think it's potentially two buses to get back from
where we're going to be dropping you off. So that's
gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Are you joking? I have to find no one to
get on.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
And then she's on the rectangle road rager.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Now who's who's the uber driver? Let's have a chance
to the uber driver?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Who we got there?

Stuart's here with me this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):

the car, so we'll turn that off. Give be pleased

But you guys have to do some good content while
I'm out of the studio, please, Okay, we'll.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Ask you ask Stuart. You know what he thinks about
you never catching a bus?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Stewart, what do you think about me never catching a bus?
Speaker 10 (03:43):
I think it's pretty normal. You know, some people don't
catch bus. I've heard some people sort of call it
like the poor person's way to travel, which I really
disagree with. I think it's really convenient, and you know,
it's it's a it's there for a reason, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Okay, Well let's let's Stewart so find you.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Got he's trying to push the uber propaganda.
Speaker 2 (04:04):

Mean yeah, he's supporting another way to get around this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Genuinely, you are quite nervous about this, Megan.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I am nervous about talking obnoxiously loud on or in
a confined space when everyone's just trying to.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Get to work.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I'm nervous about like losing my way, getting on the
wrong bus.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But then I guess that doesn't really matter. I've got
nowhere to be.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You know.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
The exciting thing, Megan, is you could make a new
best friend. That person sitting behind you scratching their face
and licking the window could be on you.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, okay, you never know what's going to happen. You've
got a bus full of people.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
You could be your new beastie.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And she's hung up on us. Okay, okay, we'll get across.
Back to Megan very shortly. She takes your first ever
bus for the first time. And what I mean, how
me no going to go with Meghan because she's going
to be in a public place.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
To be honest, I mean pranking radio prankin has really softened.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Take a bus and people listening around like, take a
bus every day? What is it? My daughter take a
bus to school? Years older? Taking the bus to school
a bubb it. But it's like, yeah, what.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Are we doing?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
The old radio would be go going you guys.
Speaker 3 (05:21):

a little bit. Meghan it joins us throughout the morning
and she takes a bus into.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Work with the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Like News Yesterday, Dave Grohl, lead singer of the Food Fighters,
pretty public announcements about the fact that he's fathering a
child out of wedlock. News.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Yeah, just coming home with that bombshell. And obviously I've
I'm weighing in with their opinion. Is that as the
Internet attempts to do. But at the end of the day,
the only two people that met all there's a small
group of people that matter.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah, obviously the children the family feel very sorry for them.
You feel sorry for him.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I mean, people don't like screwing up, and we are
the first time apparently, Oh really people a couple of
times I don't know, but yeah, but it's yeah, it's
the problem to deal with a lot of deal a
lot of stuff. You don't want to make excuses for anyone,
but all the stuff he's gone through as well, so
there's a lot, you know, you don't know the situation
of their marriage. No one knows anything.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
So except for the people involved in the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I love all you know. Everyone loves to comment on it, though,
don't they On Instagram? There was a couple of clever ones.
We're going there goes my hero from the Food Fighters
or I've got another confession to make. A couple of
lines from the I thought, okay, those are right, there
goes my heroes.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Quite good because you like what context yeah legend? Alrighty, alright, Meghan,
one lady who really wants to weigh in on the
Dave Groll extramarital baby.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
What do you want to say?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I know, well, yesterday I wanted to give Hi a break.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But if more women start coming out of the woodwork,
I'm not so sure at.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
The moment, Meghan.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
If you're wondering why, it sounds very he and bus relators,
we are making your canter at first public bus.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Never caught a bus, Megan, never.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Caught a bus.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
This is so overwhelming, and you know what, everyone knows
where they're going, and I've got no idea.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Everyone's on a mission to on.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
There's so many buses.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
That's that's the idea of them.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Do you do you have anyone nearby that you can
ask to see if you can ask for directions or
any advice on how to get to we need to go.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, there's lots of school kids.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Do you know some people were taking like cellos and
like huge instruments on the bus.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Is probably the most I see that every day at
the kids school, and I'm like, that is probably the
world's most inconvenient instrument a cello.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, the poor cello player. Respect to the players out
there in the community.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
So you can ask ever word to someone. See they
could put you in the right direction.

Into so much so helpful? See that.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Also, how did people know when they say asked someone,

studio hopefully by the end of the show. She'll get here.
Speaker 8 (09:43):

Speaker 8 (12:26):
Back in the day when I first started, they put
me on a rubber ring Craig, like a child's inflatable
behind a tug boat and we'd across the Fovo straight
halfway through, halfway through. The guys like, mate, we need
to we need to pull you on. I couldn't see
the boat behind the ways. By the way, these are
the most shark and feasted waters.

Meghan right now taking a bus for the first ever
time public transport. She was loving it before. Upstairs, a
double decker, great view of the city, everything was great.
Is everything still all good, Meghan?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
No, I sound like you're exterior not interior.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Now. What happened?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
The bus pulled off to the side, and I thought
it was turning off to go into Takapuna for those
people familiar with that area. But I got off the
bus and I wasn't supposed to, So now I've got
to get back on another bus or so I gave
up my VIP seat at the top of the double dicker.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, she was in business class.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I was. And also now I'm confused because I don't
know if I'm supposed to get on the one I
was on, and some of them are satting.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Canceled on the board classic buses.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Now, because you've got Grace with you, You've got our
gen Z producer Grace with you. She's been instructed not
to help you in any ways. She's a regular commuter
on the bus.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, she's like one of the camera people on like
Survivor or a reality show or somewhere they can't interact
and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
She's doing good job of that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, well, because I said she would get off, and
she said, do what you want to do, So no
would have been helpful in that scenario.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
Lost laughing a lot, A lost little girl wanders the
streets just trying to back to work. But you're enjoying
the actual experience on the bus when you're on there
for ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, because there's so many roads that you only busses
go on.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
There's a special little road. There was a special little.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Overbridge that I've never been on before.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I was like, this is living.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Going past all the traffic and now, yeah, I'm out
of the bus.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Hope her before the end of the week she's been.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Hopefully she's back on the wheels of fortune, the bus,
wheels of fortune very shortly.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
We'll catch up with your soon, Megan.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I see we're I get to see so I've had
I'm frustrating. We're not a frustrated a couple of days,
but frustrating sort of a couple of hours. Last night,
mat my wife and one of my daughters is away
at the Ames Games, which is awesome, awesome, great event.
People listening right now. I hope you're having a great
week and total it. So, But what my wife's a

I get carried away at that. But yesterday my daughter,
(15:57):
so you know, who's just the two of us at home,
she was setting for a mass test and she's like,
I'm struggling. Can you help. I'm like, oh, yeah, I
think so.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Now this is when you need to get really good
at secretly googling.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
This is the thing, because it was algebra and I
was like, oh, and you're looking at things and you're like, okay, okay,
I can work this out.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
And I'm like, oh, is anyone with letters and then
little numbers?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Letters? And then I'm like, oh, jeez, I'll put it
into chat GPT on the side, but even trying to
type some of those little letters, and I was like.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
How are you type a little number?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And then I'd get that, and then they'd work it out,
and then I'd be like, how the heck did they
come to that? And then Cianna said to me, and
this is a question I didn't know how to answer.
She's like, how much of this do you use in
the day to day? There's a bloody good question. And
I was like, and I didn't want to. I didn't
want to say none. I'm sure there's engineers and people
out there using.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
That in our life.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I've never used algebra, but I was like, yeah, no,
we do heaps. You know, we're always working out how
close to set for the microphone, the angle of the
microphone in the studio, and then Johno's position slow off
from me and Megan. We're always walking the angles. And
she's like, like, I don't know if this is legit
will you're talking about I'm like, yeah, we're using algebra
every day. Bruh. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
I probably speak for many people.

I didn't go through school and fail school to then
become an adult, have children in hand, to go back
and do homework again to thankfully, but Gin, she's she's
got the degree. In our household, I sit back and
do nothing. But that's what they don't tell you about parenting.
At some point, you're going to go back and do
school again. Yeah, and you don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But there's parts of it you're like, oh, she's I
barely understood this the first time round. But yeah, so yeah,
shout out to all the people, all the parents out.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
There, especially the homework once. Yeah, if Gin wasn't around,
I'd have a grave fear.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
For our Chidren the heads that johnaan Ben podcast of.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Course, and the America right now. And I was spoking
a lot about America. But a big day. They're worth
the September eleven, paying respects to you know, that tragedy
that happened many years ago in America.

Trump and Harris, they meet each other for the first
time yesterday and then they are together again, shaking hands

Never a true we'd being to seit now be an email.
We're all dealing with it, aren't we most of the people.
I'd love to not actually have email in my life.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
All right, Look, it's very handy. Yeah, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
It's there's so many pros to it, but also really
can consume you.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
You're a prolific email. I do enjoy email over other
forms of communication, except for that first line where you
have to go, I trust this email finds you well.
I hope everything's good. But you know that redundant first
line that you know you just want.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
To get to the winds you up, doesn't well, you
need to.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
You know, everyone feels they need to do it. We
all have to write it. I have to read it,
but you know, but no one really cares if I'm
well all night.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
I hope it finds you well. Well, of course it's email.
It's pretty good, yeah, very reliable. But one bob bit
that I do have with email. As you get sent
an email from somewhere generally an organization, do not reply
to this email.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
It's like the one way street of the community.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, what if I want to reply to this? Yeah,
that is annoy Yeah, it's.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Like you're just saying, here's the information, shove it in
your throat. We don't want to hear what you were
correspondent rightfully. Yeah, And it's one of those things you're like, well,
I need to go back to them.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
But it's like often they come up with her like
when you do not reply at whatever of the businesses,
you're like, oh, okay, so it's not actually a yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
So like sometimes I say I see it as a challenge.
I'm like, I'm just gonna he reply anyway.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
That never works, by the way, it's immediately bounces back
like this is no one, No one cares about this email.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I do love your email etiquette. You know you're not
you're not a big emailer. I get that.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I'm shocking. Yeah, my daughter's got huge anxiety. She looks
at my phone.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
There's over like two thousand hundred emails.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It's a lot. Yeah, it does get away. But what
I love the other day, because we're on this group email,
there was someone we're doing it an event this week,
someone came through with an email with a lot of
questionstions that we needed to answer. They were in red too.
They were here, John'll being here five or six things?
Can you answer this before Thursday? And then I was out.
I was watching my daughter at Ames Games. I come back,
Oh good, John's replied, and he's like, cut, thanks very much,
(20:13):
see you Thursday. And I was like, that's all. You're right,
John O. And I was like, looking forward to it.
See it make Thursday. And I'm like, that's the classic
John prior answer. Hasn't read the email, hasn't answered any
of the questions, but it's just come back with your
Thursday should be going? Is she read my email?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Because I was kind of hope you answered, and I
was like, do not reply to this email.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I put that in the bottom two. Yeah, here we
go on are the questions you need to answer? Anyway? Yeah?
So true. Megan is on a bus. She's on a
bus for the first time ever, trying to make your
way to work, and we'll find out how she's going.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Three minutes of the hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Night the presidential debate took place in America. You would
have seen some clips going around social media. Donald Try
as usual said some wild things.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating
the pets of the people that lived there.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Who's doing this?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
He was talking about in Springfield. I was like, is
that centers a little helper? Is that what's going on there?
But in Springfield, Ohio? But you know, it feels like
if you if you're a Trump fan, you're gonna stay
with Trump fan. If you're a Harris fan, you're going
to say, come out of house fan. Damn right.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
They're eating the dogs and they're in the cattle.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
We're eating the dogs, They're eating the cat, eating the pets.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
They never met before. Apparently they shook hands for the
first time, which I think is wild that they've never
actually met before.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
And she led the handshake, and it's through them.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Great power play was a great part. But I heard
some audio on on CNN, I think it was, and
it was an undecided voter, and and they said they
were voting Trump after that whole debate, after the debait,
because they were like, the economy was still better for
them in their back pocket, they had more money when
he was in charge. And I had my cat, I
hit my dog. No one was trying to eat my dog.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Y's back to our dear friend Megan Papers. So for
the first time catching a bus. Public transport has started
at seven this morning.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Second bus.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Now, Meghan, I'm loving this.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Sorry on the bus and I'm talking obnoxiously loud, but
I have I have made it so I know. I
was out north of Auckland City and I've been on
one bus. I'm on my second bus. Now you please
to know I'm back on track after I got on
the wrong bus. They don't make get clear enough or
where you supposed to go, and people get like a
(22:40):
little bit annoyed when you're asking them at this time
of the morning.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
You know that there is an there is an app.
There is an app, but we didn't tell you about
that one. So you know that's fine. Those are the
things that you know we could have said, but you
know we wanted you to have an adventure.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Then I'm not taking a bus again. I don't need
the app.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
So now this is what I want to ask you.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
What are your first impressions? This is a a life
first for you. What are your takeaways from your first
bus ride.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It's fun being amongst all the people.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
The bodies, being a man, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah, and it's fun relying on getting on two different
things rather than just taking one and parking and buy
my work. Yeah no, it's great and we should all
do it to save the environment.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Will you save the environment? Yeah, well i'm this morning
one day, you're not? You drive to work? Part your card?
Now are you taking it?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And then I got an over route?
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Yea. If anything, you're the bloody Taylor Swift in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Carbon footprint is large this morning.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Oh well, so you're hoping you're going to be back
to the studio within the what the next ten to
fifteen minutes?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
All going well, Producer Graces can fume.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I'm on the right bus, so it should be yeah,
next ten to fifteen minutes, as long as that it
doesn't break down.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Now while you're there.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
While you're there, let's let's try and get the wheels
on the bus go.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Let's get the bus six.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, god, you just go really loud, go the wheels
on the bus go, and hopefully someone goes round and round. Yeah,
go on, loud up about.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
The wheels on the bus.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Go round, dead round, well, dead round, come.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
On round, there we go. Someone gave you a pretty
little round and round.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Me.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You can't see all of the people stelling it.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Jeez, and well good luck and we'll see you back
at the studio shortly.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
That jonaan Ben podcast a really.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Lovely clip that's a circulating around. We'll put it on
the Hits Breakfast Instagram story. Right now, King Charles Bucking
and Palace are with the Black Ferns and he's you know,
he's doing the meat and greet as they do, going
through all the official rule stuff and imagine this is
the question that potentially breaks protocol. But one of the
black friends asked if they could have a hug, and
then that what was his reaction to hug? Sure? Why not?
(25:03):
And they just swarm them and it's actually beautiful. He
looks genuinely stoked by it. They swarm around with a
big hug, and this is some of the audio. It's lovely, lovely,
lovely clip. Yeah, it's a beautiful. I've never seen him
(25:25):
smile genuinely like that before. It's awesome.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Did they ask the same question to Prince Andrew?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
No, I don't think he's anything to do when he
came along.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Now we're back to Vegan, who all morning has been
knocking off for life. First catching a public bus she's
been on the cram tram, the hop and stop and
we're back with Megan Papers. Now where are you last
we heard? You were like nine buses deep. You've been
(25:53):
kicked off buses, not let on buses.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You say, hop and stop. I've learned that I didn't
actually need to stop at all.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I should have just caught.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
One bus in order been fine. But I got on
wrong buses. I'm still making my way back. I caught
got another wrong bus.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Well, it would be nice if you can get back
here quickly, because you started to run out of.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Outside the studio.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Did you genuinely went on the bus though?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I did?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
I did, And I genuinely went on the wrong bus
and got on another bushy one.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
You're having.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Do you know the buses don't drop you where you
asked them to.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
There's a stop. I was like, oh no, no, no
stop there stop, there stop.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
There are rude so we have to walk a little bit.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Well, well, welcome back.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Was now give us you know your all around experience
start to finish out of ten? What are you ranking
it from having to walk to driving your own car?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And I thought it was really good. I thought it
was like an eight. Okay great, there was like special
little bus bus lanes. We were really fast on.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I didn't know they had charges for your own tech.
Do you know they have little icons that tell you
how all the buses so you're like, actually, I'll catch
the next one.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Too many people in that one.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
That's pretty quick too, like the bus lane as well.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
But yeah, I don't like having to walk from the
final stop. Tour of work got a little bit switty.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
In the last week stretch. But if you had a
bus stop outside your work, you'd be like, well.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Great, yeah, there are some people that get off and
go straight into work, and I'm like, that's ideal.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Still have saved me so much time?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Did you make any friends on the bus?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Talk to me?

Speaker 5 (28:57):
It's quite fun snooping though, isn't it. I haven't gone
to the nighby house.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
But you know, you just walk and you're like, oh, okay,
open up draws. It's like a free reign to just
open up anything. And someone like legally too.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
To open the drawers, maybe in the kitchen, like in
the bedrooms.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Taylor who used to work on the show at a
fundy instead of they went to an open home.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Off the room.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Anyway, it was quite funny.
Speaker 5 (30:23):

Get off the bed. You shouldn't be there. So listen

This is Kylie.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
So sorry, Kyle or Kylie or whatever you are, mate.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
Whatever, it doesn't matter. A few years ago now, my
daughter the twentieth Hour, she was probably about Stephen right
at the time, at the opening home and there's a
trampoline in the back yard and the kids say, can
we playing the trampoline? And the agent goes, yeah, it's fine,
up a play. You'll be right, you know. The agent's
interest in us. Look in the house obviously and not
being distracted, and that's all right, it's all good. And
(31:12):
then my other daughter comes in and says, Zoe's stuck
in the trampoline.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Where did you want to hear?
Speaker 11 (31:21):
You know, how did he get stuck in a trampoline?
It was one of the it was one of the
spring three ones with the thing you know, around to
do that. So we go out, you know, and she's
got one of these bracelets on her wrist. It's kind
of like a coiled up spring on the rest with
some charmed stuff on her. And then they had managed
to get caught in the in the net scene and
then got stuck in the inside of her arm petroos.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
So she's she's entangled into the into the knitting of
the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
Yeah, it was this bracelet hot into her skin. But
so she doesn't want to move because it's obviously her
stuck in her and the agent's like, I'm going to leave,
I'm going to.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I got no time kids stuck a dremblin.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
We're like, oh no, we can look, we can look
to the guy's garage and see if we can find
them to cut her out. They're just like you doing
if you need to, you know, are you're fine, I'll
leave you the key lock up. It was just about life.
We love on the guy's garage and this guy is
not someone who does want the garage with it, so
there's almost nothing in the garage.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah, and we.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Finish up ringing a friend who is ron the corner tacking.
You can't under the peer apply.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Her out.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
You don't want the owners coming home though, do.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
We managed to cut her out, but not with a
lot of embarrassment and stress going, We've just got to
get out of here. We don't want to be here now.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Otherwise you're like, we'll take the house and the trampoline.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
We've already appreciate. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Cool mate, going have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
With the heads that johonaan Ben podcast Two.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Halves, the Iconic Sports show is back tonight with the
ACC does Game of Two Halves on Sky Open and
Sky Sport at eight point thirty and from the a
SEC The Alternate Commentary Collective has when I A. Stewart
and host Laura McGoldrick and the studio thank you great
to be here and now a CC does Game of
Two Halves? Is that what we're billing it as that's
the official title. They're calling it Ben It Came two
(33:11):
Halves is back on Tally on Sky. That's very exciting,
such an iconic show. And you guys are part of
the reboot.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
Yeah, well, you know the beauty of nostalgia and everyone's
into it and it's going to be good. It's going
to be completely different, even though the name is the same,
because we have completely different personalities, which I think is good.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
Well, it's well, it's necessary because they've all been canceled,
so we've had everyone when half a cast can actually
appear on television again. There's also inflation to deal with.
We can no longer afford the salaries for those kinds
of people in the barrel.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
But that's neither here or there.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
It will be.
Speaker 8 (33:46):
It's a great it's obviously a much loved, much loved
show on the New Zealand television landscape.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
What's the most common question you've been getting from people?
Where's Reggie.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
So Rigie of wanting over in some sort of exotic.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
I think everyone if there's a podcast to be done,
they're doing it. And Markallis is on the rebo of
Sports Nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
We love.
Speaker 12 (34:10):
Yeah, I don't think there's an amount you could pay
Mark Elis to do the show again.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Now he's got so much money from his Jews company. Me,
I'm doing it for free.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The option. What can we expect from the new version?
Some some things that we used to love and some
new things. It's kind of a mix.
Speaker 13 (34:26):
Well, no one knows how to say the word charades
or charades, which is initially a real problem.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Can I just have never heard charades here?
Speaker 13 (34:34):
Look now, my grandmother Carmpbell McGoldrick from you know, South Timar.
It was were very flesh and if we took it
very seriously when we played charades, have to there was
like a whole situation where one side of the roomant
to say rhubarb, rhubarb, while there was the exchanging of
what you are going to be or act out next.
(34:55):
We took our charades very seriously, you couldn't. I also
call it a fellow fish fish with flash flesh flash people.

From good category stock good stocks. I grew up half
an hour away from tom. I also never heard chara.

lot of sporting cliches. Gave it to halves one of
the best sporting cliches. Is it your favorite or do
you have another cliche that you use from time to
time You're like, oh, that one could be better. I'm

Tea historic a day here, Meghan, it hits after seven
o'clock because you're doing something for the first time.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
I am taking a public bus for the first time
in my life.
Speaker 5 (00:16):
Crazy too. It's wild that.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I caught like an airport bus that I paid for prior.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
To like, I've been on a bus some more.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Yeah, but I don't know how to like go and
catch like a public bus.
Speaker 7 (00:29):
Okay, I got your parents the Megan buses coming.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
They got your parents to fill out your leave pass,
and that end to us. See be out of the
studio servous. To be honest, you are genuinely you're nervous.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I'm nervous that I'll get lost, or that the bus
driver will tell me off, or someone will get angry
with me.
Speaker 8 (00:51):
The hard thing about and it's every radio announces worst
night mare. The hard thing about this is doing radio
in public when no one else knows you're doing radio right,
and you just look like you're talking to yourself loudly too.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, because generally on a bus to like people talk.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Not generally people normally in their own little Yeah, it's
fair enough. Just put your pods on.
Speaker 7 (01:17):
All you're going to hear is intermittent talking as well,
because you're gonna be like, yeah, that's right, guys, this
obnoxious woman loudly on the bus.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
They won't know you're on the radio. Yeah, they'll just
go okay, mate, we're all on a bus.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
There, I get back to.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You, guys. Good luck with that. Megan's getting off right
now after seven o'clock. Will she make your way back
to the studio in time by the end of the show.
For the first time, Megan on a.
Speaker 8 (01:43):
Bus, I don't want to don't want to bust you
to to use a term cheating, no ubering producer.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Graces going whether you well documented on our Instagram story
at the Hats Breakfast, I should be.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Back the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 9 (01:56):
The dogs they're eating the catch, they're eating the pets
of the people that live there.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's Ondya. Thursday morning. It is a big day because
Megan for the first time, was going to be taking
a public bus. She has never taking a public bus.
She told us a couple of days ago, and we're like,
what astounded us? So we thought that needed to change.
Is this morning Megan is going to be doing it,
and the Megan busus is coming.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
The Meghan bus is coming, and now come on in, Megan.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Are we on the bus?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Or we're not not quite yet?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
No, I've I've caught an uber and I'm going to
get dropped off somewhere where I have to get.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
A bus undisclosed location we're going to be dropping you
off at, and then you've got to make your way back.
I think it's potentially two buses to get back from
where we're going to be dropping you off. So that's
gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Are you joking? I have to find no one to
get on.
Speaker 8 (02:51):
And then she's on the rectangle road rager.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Now who's who's the uber driver? Let's have a chance
to the uber driver?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Who we got there?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Stuart's here with me this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I did notice that she had another radio station in
the car, so we'll turn that off. Give be pleased
to know, and we're trying to convert him to the hits.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Good morning, Stewart, Yeah, we're good.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
What was he what was he listening to?
Speaker 2 (03:15):

Speaker 2 (03:26):

Speaker 4 (03:32):
But you guys have to do some good content while
I'm out of the studio, please, Okay, we'll.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Ask you ask Stuart. You know what he thinks about
you never catching a bus?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Stewart, what do you think about me never catching a bus?
Speaker 10 (03:43):
I think it's pretty normal. You know, some people don't
catch bus. I've heard some people sort of call it
like the poor person's way to travel, which I really
disagree with. I think it's really convenient, and you know,
it's it's a it's there for a reason, you know.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Okay, Well let's let's Stewart so find you.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Got he's trying to push the uber propaganda.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, but I.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Mean yeah, he's supporting another way to get around this morning.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Genuinely, you are quite nervous about this, Megan.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I am nervous about talking obnoxiously loud on or in
a confined space when everyone's just trying to.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Get to work.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Gotcha.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I'm nervous about like losing my way, getting on the
wrong bus.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But then I guess that doesn't really matter. I've got
nowhere to be.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You know.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
The exciting thing, Megan, is you could make a new
best friend. That person sitting behind you scratching their face
and licking the window could be on you.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, okay, you never know what's going to happen. You've
got a bus full of people.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
You could be your new beastie.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And she's hung up on us. Okay, okay, we'll get across.
Back to Megan very shortly. She takes your first ever
bus for the first time. And what I mean, how
me no going to go with Meghan because she's going
to be in a public place.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
To be honest, I mean pranking radio prankin has really softened.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Take a bus and people listening around like, take a
bus every day? What is it? My daughter take a
bus to school? Years older? Taking the bus to school
a bubb it. But it's like, yeah, what.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Are we doing?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
The old radio would be go going you guys.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Have changed, Yeah, maybe make your licks up there, got
the buses and just really out of the states just
a little bit. Meghan it joins us throughout the morning
and she takes a bus into.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Work with the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Like News Yesterday, Dave Grohl, lead singer of the Food Fighters,
pretty public announcements about the fact that he's fathering a
child out of wedlock. News.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Yeah, just coming home with that bombshell. And obviously I've
I'm weighing in with their opinion. Is that as the
Internet attempts to do. But at the end of the day,
the only two people that met all there's a small
group of people that matter.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yeah, obviously the children the family feel very sorry for them.
You feel sorry for him.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I mean, people don't like screwing up, and we are
the first time apparently, Oh really people a couple of
times I don't know, but yeah, but it's yeah, it's
the problem to deal with a lot of deal a
lot of stuff. You don't want to make excuses for anyone,
but all the stuff he's gone through as well, so
there's a lot, you know, you don't know the situation
of their marriage. No one knows anything.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
So except for the people involved in the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I love all you know. Everyone loves to comment on it, though,
don't they On Instagram? There was a couple of clever ones.
We're going there goes my hero from the Food Fighters
or I've got another confession to make. A couple of
lines from the I thought, okay, those are right, there
goes my heroes.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
Quite good because you like what context yeah legend? Alrighty, alright, Meghan,
one lady who really wants to weigh in on the
Dave Groll extramarital baby.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
What do you want to say?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I know, well, yesterday I wanted to give Hi a break.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
But if more women start coming out of the woodwork,
I'm not so sure at.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
The moment, Meghan.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
If you're wondering why, it sounds very he and bus relators,
we are making your canter at first public bus.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Never caught a bus, Megan, never.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Caught a bus.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
This is so overwhelming, and you know what, everyone knows
where they're going, and I've got no idea.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Everyone's on a mission to on.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
There's so many buses.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
That's that's the idea of them.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Do you do you have anyone nearby that you can
ask to see if you can ask for directions or
any advice on how to get to we need to go.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, there's lots of school kids.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Do you know some people were taking like cellos and
like huge instruments on the bus.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Is probably the most I see that every day at
the kids school, and I'm like, that is probably the
world's most inconvenient instrument a cello.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, the poor cello player. Respect to the players out
there in the community.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
So you can ask ever word to someone. See they
could put you in the right direction.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Would you ever tell me how to get to the city?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Absolutely?
Speaker 11 (07:58):
Either a next to go to the university?
Speaker 2 (08:01):

City Like the city city is the X one which
is which goes straight.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Into so much so helpful? See that.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Also, how did people know when they say asked someone,
I wouldn't have known the X one. That doesn't make sense,
so that it should say city wise, I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Want to hear you. I don't want to talk.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Made on buses, they were very helpful. Isn't she a

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Hair, done that the hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
In the day. For Megan, she's never been on the
public bus, so we thought we'd changed that this morning
and she is going to be making away to the
studio hopefully by the end of the show. She'll get here.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
Meghan, three minutes ago you asked a friendly commuter how
to get to where you needed to go.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
They were more than obliging.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
She was like really friendly.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yes, people are friendly. You can know and you're excited
about a double decker bus that you're going to get on.

hot card, the little transport card.

Can we get some awkward bend till with the drive?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Bus driver?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Wait all day, that's what people work.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
She's got no time for radio.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I got told off because I didn't know they were
like queues. I didn't know you had to line up
and a queue to get on the bus. Someone's like,

had to get in the queue.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Maybe we'll continue this on till tomorrow. Will she make
it here by tomorrow? How can you not just walk
onto a bus?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I know right? They want to take public transport. They're
making it very difficult for me.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Never have you ever taken a bus? So we wanted
to know what you've never done. We've got some great

the budget. Craig out to see great white.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Shark Bovo straight apparently have amazing Oh yeah, did you
know once upon a time we're talking about, you know,
the lame radio stunts we're making people do nowadays, I e.
Catch public transports, which is yet nothing.
Speaker 8 (12:26):
Back in the day when I first started, they put
me on a rubber ring Craig, like a child's inflatable
behind a tug boat and we'd across the Fovo straight
halfway through, halfway through. The guys like, mate, we need
to we need to pull you on. I couldn't see
the boat behind the ways. By the way, these are
the most shark and feasted waters.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
In New Zealand. O good And that was was anyone
filming it?
Speaker 8 (12:48):
No, this is before social media, just like we could
have literally reenacted in the parapool or something.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
No, you loved it because that's what Craig was to do.
He was tick into those shark and piston waters.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Well, we'll hold on to your number, Craig. We'll see
we might be able to do something with you before December. Right,

South Island. Okay, well your keeps coming through.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Text four for the Heads That John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Meghan right now taking a bus for the first ever
time public transport. She was loving it before. Upstairs, a
double decker, great view of the city, everything was great.
Is everything still all good, Meghan?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
No, I sound like you're exterior not interior.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Now. What happened?
Speaker 4 (13:45):
The bus pulled off to the side, and I thought
it was turning off to go into Takapuna for those
people familiar with that area. But I got off the
bus and I wasn't supposed to, So now I've got
to get back on another bus or so I gave
up my VIP seat at the top of the double dicker.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Yeah, she was in business class.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
I was. And also now I'm confused because I don't
know if I'm supposed to get on the one I
was on, and some of them are satting.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Canceled on the board classic buses.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Now, because you've got Grace with you, You've got our
gen Z producer Grace with you. She's been instructed not
to help you in any ways. She's a regular commuter
on the bus.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, she's like one of the camera people on like
Survivor or a reality show or somewhere they can't interact
and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
She's doing good job of that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, well, because I said she would get off, and
she said, do what you want to do, So no
would have been helpful in that scenario.
Speaker 8 (14:36):
Lost laughing a lot, A lost little girl wanders the
streets just trying to back to work. But you're enjoying
the actual experience on the bus when you're on there
for ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, because there's so many roads that you only busses
go on.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
There's a special little road. There was a special little.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Overbridge that I've never been on before.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I was like, this is living.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Going past all the traffic and now, yeah, I'm out
of the bus.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Hope her before the end of the week she's been.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Hopefully she's back on the wheels of fortune, the bus,
wheels of fortune very shortly.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
We'll catch up with your soon, Megan.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I see we're I get to see so I've had
I'm frustrating. We're not a frustrated a couple of days,
but frustrating sort of a couple of hours. Last night,
mat my wife and one of my daughters is away
at the Ames Games, which is awesome, awesome, great event.
People listening right now. I hope you're having a great
week and total it. So, But what my wife's a
school teacher, so she's really helpful at a lot of
(15:37):
the subjects that I'm not helpful, anything arts related or writing.
I'm like, well, speech all day, speeches. What else did
you Now you build a little Harry potterhouse? Yeah, you know,
all that sort of stuff. I all get carried away.
The kids will come back and like, oh, you've done
quite a lot. Yeah, I know, it's exciting. Yeah, so
I get carried away at that. But yesterday my daughter,
(15:57):
so you know, who's just the two of us at home,
she was setting for a mass test and she's like,
I'm struggling. Can you help. I'm like, oh, yeah, I
think so.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Now this is when you need to get really good
at secretly googling.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
This is the thing, because it was algebra and I
was like, oh, and you're looking at things and you're like, okay, okay,
I can work this out.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
And I'm like, oh, is anyone with letters and then
little numbers?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Letters? And then I'm like, oh, jeez, I'll put it
into chat GPT on the side, but even trying to
type some of those little letters, and I was like.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
How are you type a little number?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And then I'd get that, and then they'd work it out,
and then I'd be like, how the heck did they
come to that? And then Cianna said to me, and
this is a question I didn't know how to answer.
She's like, how much of this do you use in
the day to day? There's a bloody good question. And
I was like, and I didn't want to. I didn't
want to say none. I'm sure there's engineers and people
out there using.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
That in our life.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I've never used algebra, but I was like, yeah, no,
we do heaps. You know, we're always working out how
close to set for the microphone, the angle of the
microphone in the studio, and then Johno's position slow off
from me and Megan. We're always walking the angles. And
she's like, like, I don't know if this is legit
will you're talking about I'm like, yeah, we're using algebra
every day. Bruh. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
I probably speak for many people.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
I didn't go through school and fail school to then
become an adult, have children in hand, to go back
and do homework again to thankfully, but Gin, she's she's
got the degree. In our household, I sit back and
do nothing. But that's what they don't tell you about parenting.
At some point, you're going to go back and do
school again. Yeah, and you don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But there's parts of it you're like, oh, she's I
barely understood this the first time round. But yeah, so yeah,
shout out to all the people, all the parents out.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
There, especially the homework once. Yeah, if Gin wasn't around,
I'd have a grave fear.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
For our Chidren the heads that johnaan Ben podcast of.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Course, and the America right now. And I was spoking
a lot about America. But a big day. They're worth
the September eleven, paying respects to you know, that tragedy
that happened many years ago in America.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Now from not going from not even meeting each other,
Trump and Harris, they meet each other for the first
time yesterday and then they are together again, shaking hands
again at the nine to Living Memorials.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, right, so two days and twice to one hundred.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
Yeah, they're eating the dogs they're eating the cats, they're
eating the pets of the people that live there.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
Never a true we'd being to seit now be an email.
We're all dealing with it, aren't we most of the people.
I'd love to not actually have email in my life.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
All right, Look, it's very handy. Yeah, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
It's there's so many pros to it, but also really
can consume you.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
You're a prolific email. I do enjoy email over other
forms of communication, except for that first line where you
have to go, I trust this email finds you well.
I hope everything's good. But you know that redundant first
line that you know you just want.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
To get to the winds you up, doesn't well, you
need to.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
You know, everyone feels they need to do it. We
all have to write it. I have to read it,
but you know, but no one really cares if I'm
well all night.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
I hope it finds you well. Well, of course it's email.
It's pretty good, yeah, very reliable. But one bob bit
that I do have with email. As you get sent
an email from somewhere generally an organization, do not reply
to this email.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
It's like the one way street of the community.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, what if I want to reply to this? Yeah,
that is annoy Yeah, it's.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Like you're just saying, here's the information, shove it in
your throat. We don't want to hear what you were
correspondent rightfully. Yeah, And it's one of those things you're like, well,
I need to go back to them.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
But it's like often they come up with her like
when you do not reply at whatever of the businesses,
you're like, oh, okay, so it's not actually a yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
So like sometimes I say I see it as a challenge.
I'm like, I'm just gonna he reply anyway.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
That never works, by the way, it's immediately bounces back
like this is no one, No one cares about this email.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I do love your email etiquette. You know you're not
you're not a big emailer. I get that.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
I'm shocking. Yeah, my daughter's got huge anxiety. She looks
at my phone.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
There's over like two thousand hundred emails.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
It's a lot. Yeah, it does get away. But what
I love the other day, because we're on this group email,
there was someone we're doing it an event this week,
someone came through with an email with a lot of
questionstions that we needed to answer. They were in red too.
They were here, John'll being here five or six things?
Can you answer this before Thursday? And then I was out.
I was watching my daughter at Ames Games. I come back,
Oh good, John's replied, and he's like, cut, thanks very much,
(20:13):
see you Thursday. And I was like, that's all. You're right,
John O. And I was like, looking forward to it.
See it make Thursday. And I'm like, that's the classic
John prior answer. Hasn't read the email, hasn't answered any
of the questions, but it's just come back with your
Thursday should be going? Is she read my email?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Because I was kind of hope you answered, and I
was like, do not reply to this email.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I put that in the bottom two. Yeah, here we
go on are the questions you need to answer? Anyway? Yeah?
So true. Megan is on a bus. She's on a
bus for the first time ever, trying to make your
way to work, and we'll find out how she's going.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Three minutes of the hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Night the presidential debate took place in America. You would
have seen some clips going around social media. Donald Try
as usual said some wild things.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating
the pets of the people that lived there.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Who's doing this?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
He was talking about in Springfield. I was like, is
that centers a little helper? Is that what's going on there?
But in Springfield, Ohio? But you know, it feels like
if you if you're a Trump fan, you're gonna stay
with Trump fan. If you're a Harris fan, you're going
to say, come out of house fan. Damn right.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
They're eating the dogs and they're in the cattle.
Speaker 9 (21:26):
We're eating the dogs, They're eating the cat, eating the pets.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
They never met before. Apparently they shook hands for the
first time, which I think is wild that they've never
actually met before.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
And she led the handshake, and it's through them.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Great power play was a great part. But I heard
some audio on on CNN, I think it was, and
it was an undecided voter, and and they said they
were voting Trump after that whole debate, after the debait,
because they were like, the economy was still better for
them in their back pocket, they had more money when
he was in charge. And I had my cat, I
hit my dog. No one was trying to eat my dog.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Y's back to our dear friend Megan Papers. So for
the first time catching a bus. Public transport has started
at seven this morning.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Second bus.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Now, Meghan, I'm loving this.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Sorry on the bus and I'm talking obnoxiously loud, but
I have I have made it so I know. I
was out north of Auckland City and I've been on
one bus. I'm on my second bus. Now you please
to know I'm back on track after I got on
the wrong bus. They don't make get clear enough or
where you supposed to go, and people get like a
(22:40):
little bit annoyed when you're asking them at this time
of the morning.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
You know that there is an there is an app.
There is an app, but we didn't tell you about
that one. So you know that's fine. Those are the
things that you know we could have said, but you
know we wanted you to have an adventure.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Then I'm not taking a bus again. I don't need
the app.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
So now this is what I want to ask you.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
What are your first impressions? This is a a life
first for you. What are your takeaways from your first
bus ride.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It's fun being amongst all the people.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
The bodies, being a man, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah, and it's fun relying on getting on two different
things rather than just taking one and parking and buy
my work. Yeah no, it's great and we should all
do it to save the environment.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Will you save the environment? Yeah, well i'm this morning
one day, you're not? You drive to work? Part your card?
Now are you taking it?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And then I got an over route?
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Yea. If anything, you're the bloody Taylor Swift in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Carbon footprint is large this morning.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Oh well, so you're hoping you're going to be back
to the studio within the what the next ten to
fifteen minutes?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
All going well, Producer Graces can fume.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I'm on the right bus, so it should be yeah,
next ten to fifteen minutes, as long as that it
doesn't break down.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Now while you're there.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
While you're there, let's let's try and get the wheels
on the bus go.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Let's get the bus six.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, god, you just go really loud, go the wheels
on the bus go, and hopefully someone goes round and round. Yeah,
go on, loud up about.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
The wheels on the bus.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Go round, dead round, well, dead round, come.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
On round, there we go. Someone gave you a pretty
little round and round.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Me.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You can't see all of the people stelling it.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Jeez, and well good luck and we'll see you back
at the studio shortly.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
That jonaan Ben podcast a really.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Lovely clip that's a circulating around. We'll put it on
the Hits Breakfast Instagram story. Right now, King Charles Bucking
and Palace are with the Black Ferns and he's you know,
he's doing the meat and greet as they do, going
through all the official rule stuff and imagine this is
the question that potentially breaks protocol. But one of the
black friends asked if they could have a hug, and
then that what was his reaction to hug? Sure? Why not?
(25:03):
And they just swarm them and it's actually beautiful. He
looks genuinely stoked by it. They swarm around with a
big hug, and this is some of the audio. It's lovely, lovely,
lovely clip. Yeah, it's a beautiful. I've never seen him
(25:25):
smile genuinely like that before. It's awesome.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Did they ask the same question to Prince Andrew?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
No, I don't think he's anything to do when he
came along.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
Now we're back to Vegan, who all morning has been
knocking off for life. First catching a public bus she's
been on the cram tram, the hop and stop and
we're back with Megan Papers. Now where are you last
we heard? You were like nine buses deep. You've been
(25:53):
kicked off buses, not let on buses.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
You say, hop and stop. I've learned that I didn't
actually need to stop at all.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I should have just caught.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
One bus in order been fine. But I got on
wrong buses. I'm still making my way back. I caught
got another wrong bus.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
Well, it would be nice if you can get back
here quickly, because you started to run out of.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Outside the studio.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Did you genuinely went on the bus though?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I did?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
I did, And I genuinely went on the wrong bus
and got on another bushy one.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
You're having.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Do you know the buses don't drop you where you
asked them to.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
There's a stop. I was like, oh no, no, no
stop there stop, there stop.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
There are rude so we have to walk a little bit.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Well, well, welcome back.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Was now give us you know your all around experience
start to finish out of ten? What are you ranking
it from having to walk to driving your own car?
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And I thought it was really good. I thought it
was like an eight. Okay great, there was like special
little bus bus lanes. We were really fast on.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I didn't know they had charges for your own tech.
Do you know they have little icons that tell you
how all the buses so you're like, actually, I'll catch
the next one.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Too many people in that one.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
That's pretty quick too, like the bus lane as well.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
But yeah, I don't like having to walk from the
final stop. Tour of work got a little bit switty.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
In the last week stretch. But if you had a
bus stop outside your work, you'd be like, well.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Great, yeah, there are some people that get off and
go straight into work, and I'm like, that's ideal.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Still have saved me so much time?
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Did you make any friends on the bus?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Talk to me?

else has happened to other people in open homes to
cause embarrassment?

Have you had a shocking incident in an open home?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Megan?
Speaker 5 (28:49):

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I'm always in my best behavior because I don't want
them to think I makes You're gonna buy it?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Try and fly under the radar.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
It's quite fun snooping though, isn't it. I haven't gone
to the nighby house.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
But you know, you just walk and you're like, oh, okay,
open up draws. It's like a free reign to just
open up anything. And someone like legally too.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
To open the drawers, maybe in the kitchen, like in
the bedrooms.
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Taylor who used to work on the show at a
fundy instead of they went to an open home.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Do you hear this?
Speaker 8 (29:19):
And Marcello her husband, yeah, she he was meant to
organize the open home. And they turned up and the
lady was like, come in, come in, and they were
looking around, snooping, opening all the drawers. He was in
the bathroom, tailors, in the kitchen, going it's not very spacious,
and they were kind of critiquing the.
Speaker 3 (29:31):

It's a display bit.
Speaker 12 (30:10):
The funny thing was, and then we just keep breaking
our mates that came and stayed until we sold the house.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Off the room.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
Anyway, it was quite funny.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
I said, well, why was she sitting on the bed anyway,
Get off the bed. You shouldn't be there. So listen

Are you going actually have a good one?
Speaker 3 (30:35):

of the spelling.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
This is Kylie.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
So sorry, Kyle or Kylie or whatever you are, mate.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
Whatever, it doesn't matter. A few years ago now, my
daughter the twentieth Hour, she was probably about Stephen right
at the time, at the opening home and there's a
trampoline in the back yard and the kids say, can
we playing the trampoline? And the agent goes, yeah, it's fine,
up a play. You'll be right, you know. The agent's
interest in us. Look in the house obviously and not
being distracted, and that's all right, it's all good. And
(31:12):
then my other daughter comes in and says, Zoe's stuck
in the trampoline.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Where did you want to hear?
Speaker 11 (31:21):
You know, how did he get stuck in a trampoline?
It was one of the it was one of the
spring three ones with the thing you know, around to
do that. So we go out, you know, and she's
got one of these bracelets on her wrist. It's kind
of like a coiled up spring on the rest with
some charmed stuff on her. And then they had managed
to get caught in the in the net scene and
then got stuck in the inside of her arm petroos.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
So she's she's entangled into the into the knitting of
the trampoline.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:48):
Yeah, it was this bracelet hot into her skin. But
so she doesn't want to move because it's obviously her
stuck in her and the agent's like, I'm going to leave,
I'm going to.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I got no time kids stuck a dremblin.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:02):
We're like, oh no, we can look, we can look
to the guy's garage and see if we can find
them to cut her out. They're just like you doing
if you need to, you know, are you're fine, I'll
leave you the key lock up. It was just about life.
We love on the guy's garage and this guy is
not someone who does want the garage with it, so
there's almost nothing in the garage.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Yeah, and we.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Finish up ringing a friend who is ron the corner tacking.
You can't under the peer apply.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Her out.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
You don't want the owners coming home though, do.
Speaker 11 (32:33):
We managed to cut her out, but not with a
lot of embarrassment and stress going, We've just got to
get out of here. We don't want to be here now.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Otherwise you're like, we'll take the house and the trampoline.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
We've already appreciate. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Cool mate, going have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
With the heads that johonaan Ben podcast Two.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Halves, the Iconic Sports show is back tonight with the
ACC does Game of Two Halves on Sky Open and
Sky Sport at eight point thirty and from the a
SEC The Alternate Commentary Collective has when I A. Stewart
and host Laura McGoldrick and the studio thank you great
to be here and now a CC does Game of
Two Halves? Is that what we're billing it as that's
the official title. They're calling it Ben It Came two
(33:11):
Halves is back on Tally on Sky. That's very exciting,
such an iconic show. And you guys are part of
the reboot.
Speaker 13 (33:16):
Yeah, well, you know the beauty of nostalgia and everyone's
into it and it's going to be good. It's going
to be completely different, even though the name is the same,
because we have completely different personalities, which I think is good.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
Well, it's well, it's necessary because they've all been canceled,
so we've had everyone when half a cast can actually
appear on television again. There's also inflation to deal with.
We can no longer afford the salaries for those kinds
of people in the barrel.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
But that's neither here or there.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
It will be.
Speaker 8 (33:46):
It's a great it's obviously a much loved, much loved
show on the New Zealand television landscape.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
What's the most common question you've been getting from people?
Where's Reggie.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
So Rigie of wanting over in some sort of exotic.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
I think everyone if there's a podcast to be done,
they're doing it. And Markallis is on the rebo of
Sports Nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
We love.
Speaker 12 (34:10):
Yeah, I don't think there's an amount you could pay
Mark Elis to do the show again.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Now he's got so much money from his Jews company. Me,
I'm doing it for free.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
The option. What can we expect from the new version?
Some some things that we used to love and some
new things. It's kind of a mix.
Speaker 13 (34:26):
Well, no one knows how to say the word charades
or charades, which is initially a real problem.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
Can I just have never heard charades here?
Speaker 13 (34:34):
Look now, my grandmother Carmpbell McGoldrick from you know, South Timar.
It was were very flesh and if we took it
very seriously when we played charades, have to there was
like a whole situation where one side of the roomant
to say rhubarb, rhubarb, while there was the exchanging of
what you are going to be or act out next.
(34:55):
We took our charades very seriously, you couldn't. I also
call it a fellow fish fish with flash flesh flash people.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
From good category stock good stocks. I grew up half
an hour away from tom. I also never heard chara.
Not you're playing battler charades?

Maybe you charade charades.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
I probably say charades, but I feel like I've heard charades.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, all right, you pop. You guys still with a
lot of sporting cliches. Gave it to halves one of
the best sporting cliches. Is it your favorite or do
you have another cliche that you use from time to
time You're like, oh, that one could be better. I'm
a big year now.
Speaker 13 (35:36):
It's about how the team performed on the day A year.
Speaker 12 (35:38):

because because everything is executing. When they're like, look, we
had a great game, plans like who kids, all it
comes up, We're just going to execute in the second halves, Yeah,
do your job is.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
