With the John ooyan Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma making
the world a bitter tea.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Now, look, I've lost a sock. I don't know where
I've lost it over the last couple of months. It's
been the other one. The one that I do still
have is sitting above the washing machine at home, and
we're searching for it. You guys have put a lot
of effid into putting some posters out there, putting some
coverage on social media as well, trying to get my
other sock back, the lucky sock with the four leaf clover.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Well know, there's this moment in the campaign where I'm like,
have we dedicated too much of your time to a
missing sock?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
But no, were now put up some prize money if
you've got the sock or something that well, I'm matching
peer for that one hundred dollars and some washing powder
as well.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
But we just say to you, why don't you just
retrace where you've been over the last month or so.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, So we went away for work, the three of
us in christ Church, and then I went away, you know,
and Totong as well. So well, maybe we should call
some of these hotels. We must Oh hi there, it's
been from John O beIN a meighan on the Hats
radio station. How you doing good? How are you good? Well?

We stayed in your hotel. It was wonderful a few
weeks ago. Just retracing my steps because I've lost a
sock and I just wondered if it had been handed
in or found by anyone.

clover on it, a green clover.

Just have you received any email room regarding like a
lost and found that item?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Did you?

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Because usually when we find something, whoever found it, like
the colleague would send an email right away. If you
haven't received any email, probably we didn't find it.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay, Okay, that was a long shot. It was a
long shot.

Speaker 3 (01:58):

Funny in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Sorry about the weird start from me.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
No, it was good because you pore raining in Taranga

Speaker 3 (03:03):
We were wondering if you were many.

Oh, good morning from the Hats radio station.

Speaker 7 (03:13):
That's the best start to my dad.

Tell you what I've stayed in your hotel. I came
down and saw my daughter play Aimes games. It was great,
had a wonderful time at the quist.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
Did you had the pleasure to meet me?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I don't think I had the pleasure to meet your

I had to keep the key from the lock box.

Speaker 7 (03:31):
You missed the crazy Italian manager?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, well you just wondering I'm missing a sock my
lucky sock, and I'm just trying to retrace my steps.
I don't know if it's going to be at your hotel,
but I was wondering if someone could ever look in
the room I was staying in.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
That's funny. If I found the socks, I will call you.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I got I got it. I took a photo of
my room key. It was two one five.

Speaker 7 (03:54):
I will have a double look. But I'm honestly with you.
When something happened like that, we called the customers strud.

Speaker 3 (04:00):

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Of course I can.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Can you say mamma Mia?

Speaker 7 (04:07):

Speaker 2 (04:11):

He's really connected to the sound.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
So lucky sock. I feel anyway, it's probably not gonna happen,

Speaker 8 (04:35):
Station, My mommy and John Ben and everybody make me
crazy this morning being podcast my daughter.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
You know that's goods too. You know, later in the
evening sort of go to your hey, by tomorrow, I
need this stuff. And this was a situation where she
was like, the chocolates for the nip Or fundraiser. I
need to sell all those chocolates by tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
And how long that the chocolate's been in her position?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I would say a week or so. She had sold
at a defense, she had salt some, I'd bought some,
She'd sold them to other places. She had sold some,
but she still had quite a bit left.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
She got rid of some stock.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, she was like, Dad, do you want to buy
the rest of the chocolates.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
This is a good play from her. So she's like,
it's last minute.

Speaker 9 (05:22):
I literally can't do anything else about it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I reckon. It was about five thirty, five thirty night.
Normally I would go yeah, and I went you know
the time I said no, I said no. You know
what I said? How much? I was like, I'm not
going to spend ninety dollars on peanut slabs. My body
bought five, you know, and they're sitting.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
There and you're not much of a chocolate guy.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
They're great. Don't get me wrong, said Wittker.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Is great.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
But I was like, no, this occasion, I'm not going
to buy the whole thing. And she's like, well, can
I go around the neighborhood now and try and sell them.
I'm like, yeah, okay, And so she raped it her
sister and they went out, and I was like, take
your phones with you, take around the neighborhood, gets keep
in touch. So off she went, should be gone a
little bit. This is half an hour's getting up sex.
I'm like, it's starting to get a little bit dark.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Give her a call, and can I just say too
stormy conditions last night.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
It was two nights ago, so it was it wasn't
but it wasn't great. It was it was out about.
I was like, this is good character building stuff that
my parents would make me do back in the day.
I'm like, oh, good, don't give her a call and
she's like, no, we're fine. We're just going to a
couple more streets. We're gonna you know, we'll just carry
on looking a bit longer. Then it got quite dark.

(06:31):
About twenty five thirty minutes later, I'm like, oh, and
my wife arrives.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Just like the kids they're out making some sales.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Like they're out making sales because I'm teaching them, you
know that they need to get out there as well.
And I'm like, I just called them. They're fine, They're
all good. It's like it's dark, it's you know, the
weather's not great, and I'm like, they're all good, they're fine.
Then they come and like running into the house.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Don't scream.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
God, They're like someone opened the door and a horse
mask among the road.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
That is a good tactic because you can't scientifically, it's
been proven you can't slam a door in a child's
face fundraising. How have you got a horse mask on?
You can't depend that on.

Speaker 9 (07:12):
Anyone dark, anyone else through the door and any kind
of mask you like.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I wasn't a kid.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Was it out there?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was just someone at a horse mask and so
they ran home. So I was apparently that's not responsible
in the day, But.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Apparently I was just doing what my parents would have
done for me. Also didn't make us put on sunscreen
or put on seatbelts either.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Exactly. Some shabby parents the hats.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
That johonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
You came to the show with some content pre show
that rocked Megan to her core.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, Maraahciri, let me get some Riah Carey all your
love it great singer. But what she did, she's about
to perform in Beijing at the moment. Now. She walked
not the entire Great Wall of China, but quite a
lot of distance and high heels.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Which is cobbled, you know, like it's bricks.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, address and high heels is what she wore along
the Great Wall of China.

Speaker 9 (08:07):
She's walking the Great Wall of China in full blam
and six stanch platform.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
American Aadie said it better than you. I just thought
I couldn't say like that. Yeah's incredible. That is insane,
Like how long is the Great Wall of China?

Speaker 6 (08:21):
Twenty one?

Speaker 9 (08:21):
Cake just over twenty one K's she's not doing the
whole thing though.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
No, but she still had some photos of her like
it's you know, it's some sort of live like along
the ground and then up a lot higher. So she
obviously walked some distance in them. She doesn't own sneakers,
doesn't own a pair of sneakers. Apparently she just goes
slippers or high heels.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
I beg, I've only just recently gone into wearing some sneakers.
I would always wear heels, but I wouldn't walk that
because your heels get stuck in the cracks.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I mean, I imagine all the Chinese were like, she's
a mad, She's mad, this Western woman coming over here
doing the great wall and high heels.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Put her on her social media she said someone should
have told should have warned me about heels, but not
that I would have listened, as what Mariah Carey said
as well. So that's fourth for eight ship and we
want to know this morning, what have you done and heels?

Speaker 9 (09:14):
And I have parked an eighteen wheeler truck and trailer
and parallel parks and.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hills wheels that heels and wheels? Were they heels a
part of the challenge or you just that's what you're
wearing at the time.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
I think it was.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
I think it was part of the challenge, because, like
I always claim, there isn't anything I can can't do
in hills.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I could walk over China.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, my grandma Holiday she did everything in hills. She'd
got in the garden. She didn't play tennis and hills
as well.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Wow, she seems like a very risky sport to be.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, she rolled her ankle into a bit of a
one time rolling her ankle and having to like sort
of hobble her way and like almost like crawl her
way back home like an Amberley Beach in North Canterbury.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
That would have been least surprising news to the fairly.
We told you she's finally done that. We told you
we want to know that's four for eight s.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
If we've got a Cadbrey price back, I've only at
thirty dollars to give away. Thanks our friends at Cabrey.
You could be seeing the all Blacks on the Northern
tour as well. Right now when you buy some Cabri products.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
What have you done on.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
High heels done for the hats that johnaan Ben podcast
My Heels, Sir Mariah Carey just walks the Great Wall
of China and high heels.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Now, there's a bit of misinformation that was fit out
on the show previous. I'll let you recruit that, Megan.

Speaker 9 (10:27):
Yeah, it wasn't John Over once I said it was
twenty one k's it's twenty one thousand column which yeah,
I didn't see the number, just.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Wasn't good at reading.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
She didn't walk the entire No, she.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
Just did a section of it, just a little like
promo walk.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Or she wants the Christmas as you, but maybe a
pair of sniakers would be nice and some active with
don't even know sneakers, she said, No, just slippers at home,
and then when she's out and about she wears high heels.
So she always wears, always looks fancy in her dress.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Never's been much time in them, apart from sort of
comical sketches over the years. The high heels as well.
But I kind of felt I felt a bit more taller,
felt a bit more powerful, but also very unstable, like
a newborn, like a draft you know, is learning to
figure out how the leagues work.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Wonderful things for your calf muscles.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
I know I have great calves, very my ankles are
rock solid. I don't. I don't spend a lot of
time out of heels because I'm quite short, and every
time I do, people were like, WHOA, where.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Did you go first time you took heels off? And
and here did that's an all charge? Hello?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
You lost?

Speaker 2 (11:30):
You lost, little girl?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
No, Well, full credit to you, though, and the high
heel weir is out there in the community because that
is it would be like driving a cow with no breaks.
For me, it's like I know where I'm going, but
I can't stop in hurry. So I of the hats.
What if you managed to do on high heel? Should
we go to delta and get you on? Welcome? Hello,
good on morning a delta. How are you we're doing? Well?

(11:55):
What do you do in high heels?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Mate?

Speaker 10 (11:58):
Back in my year nine, I made it into schools
and I forgot my shoes and I had heels and
dad's car, so I went and got them and ran
the into schools in hills.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Way was like cross country or what was it? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (12:13):
No, cross country was around a whole like show ground field.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
No, wow, surely they'd be sticking into like.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
The did you dig into the grass?

Speaker 10 (12:22):
They were a sicker hill and the grass was quite hard.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
But I'm short as well.

Speaker 10 (12:28):
So I tend to live in hills.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
How many inches are we talking? These hills? They weren't
like Captain hills though, they were like hill heels.

Speaker 10 (12:38):
Yeah no, yeah, no, they weren't kid hills. I was
out a kid shoes, so I think there might have
been about two or three inches.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Well, there you go, running across country and high hills. Well,
bere feet wasn't an option.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I don't like the feeling of grass.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
The better option. Yeah, we're gonna look you out with
the Cabrey price.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Man.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
God, thanks so much. You've got high heels cross.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
I wouldn't do that.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Well, Needa, good morning to you, Marina. Lovely to have
you on. We're doing Carpie this morning. Now tell us
what'd you do in high heels?

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Well, I went on a night out with a couple
of girl friends and the following day Saturday friend's house.
And the following day she was doing a trithon but
she actually ended her ankle and so I went to
go on total cor to go and support her, and
I had my heels on and you know, my bat
nang is on as well, and they needed a cyclist.

(13:33):
And so this was back in the nineteen and I
because I used to do trithons just back in the day,
and so I was like, oh am I going to
do this, Okay, let's dis give it a go. Well,
secondary school's competition back in Gisbon, and I jumped on
the bike, but I couldn't take my heels off because
in those days that the pedals they had spikes in them.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, I know the ones.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:57):
So I did try putting the heel but into the spike.
That was quite uncomfortable. So what I did is I
pulled it out and my sp ends up being a
stopper that was slid.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Swim the beedle.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
And you did the triathlon and high heels on the.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
Bike, Yes, on the bike pretty much case cycle.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
You pretty much turned the heels into like clips like
you were doing you know, like a proper cycling.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah, thing like that. But I would say that I
don't have strong calves like you make in but given there,
that's impressive.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Well one day, well let's hope you get those those
Megan cars, well defined carved muscles.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Show the hits that johnaan Ben podcasts back.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Rainbow's End announced this morning that the iconic Pirate Ship,
which was around for almost forty years, is coming back
mean second by myself mate take away. Oh yeah, so

(15:05):
the Pirate Ship and new vision of the Pirate Ship
coming back after forty years. It was an iconic bit
of the park and very excited about a new partate
ship and next year it'll be in Rainbow's End and
me and I think you on the final day, and
we did. When we had our TV show, we all went.
We were all there trying to ride it for.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
The final time, had a final ride.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, we all came in with our angles, didn't we.
What do you hell?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Long?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Are you on there for ages?

Speaker 6 (15:30):
A long time?

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Too long?

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Now? What I did in factor in was my severe
motion sickness, Like, honestly, I'm the worst. Sometimes I'm even
driving my car home. I'm the drivers and I'm getting motions.
So yeah, So here was the thing, our idea, which
he was all part of. We all like talked to three.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
We're like, the final day, we're going to get in
first people to get on the ride, and we're going
to ride it the entire day from start to finish.
It's the final day of the pirate ship, the iconic
rambas In partship. You're like, yeah, all good, and then
we must have done like once or twice, and you're like,
I can't do this anymore. I was like, it's nine
oh five. We'd planned to be there at five o'clock
at the evening.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
We did. Yeah, and this was this was only about
fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I keep it again together.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Prior I couldn't I couldn't keep it together. But now
now I sound like a complete I won't follow it up.
It wouldn't be very twenty twenty four to say what
I was going to call myself idiot's showponing idiots week clean.
Should we continue keep gun, keep gun? The fact you've just.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Read out though while you go, I did see in
the press release that you know, while it's loved by
Kibi kids, but it also had the dubious distinction the
parate ship had been the most thrown up on ride
and rainbows en I keep it together, but that was
only as is here, only after you wrote it, no
one else before that. That's very exciting, very excited. I

(16:57):
reckon we should. We should try and be the first
people were the last ones on the right. Maybe the new,
all new one has been built in Germany. Maybe this
is great. Maybe we need to get on the next
year first ride, take some hats lessons with us.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
We just put John on it for entire day.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Maybe that could be that I'm willing to put my
emotionsickness on the line here. Maybe it's like, how long
can you ride it until he gets sick? You have
a sweet steak that could work, have many swings.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Who's Got dims? On nine oh three minutes after our heads.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
That John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
We have embarked on a journey to find something that's
missing from Ben's life and we need closure. The nation
needs closure. It's a missing sock of his. We've We've
got wanted street posters out there. There's a reward one
hundred dollars a bit of washing powder.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
Its lucky sock I put.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
I put a poster up at the supermarket. You staid
on the community noticeboard.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Well that's good.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
But then as I was doing the video, it fell
down and it fell into the good will sort of bucket,
you know.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
What.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I was like.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I was like, oh, you know underneath where people donate
good other I was like, oh God, I'm going to
get this poster out of there, and the people are
looking at me like I was like, holy en up,
just getting a poster just get you think.

Speaker 6 (18:07):
Being who used to be on TV, I saw a
mornmaging round and the good girl in the supermar.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yes, it was a really unfortunate thing to happen. But anyway,
it's a bad omen but hopefully it's not.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
A bad lucky socks. All that good will incident would
not have happened. So yeah, we are, we're we're on
that little mission which we'll get to very shortly. But
this morning you had your own lost and found as
hue Meghan.

Speaker 9 (18:29):
So I hike it up at three point fifty in
the morning, and I try my best not to wake
anyone up. I've got everything prepared for myself, get my
clothes out, everything, and get dressed in my makeup, put
my engagement ring on and it's always in the same spot,
and it was not there, and for the life of me,
I couldnot remember what I had done with it. So
then I was like, Okay, I'm gonna have a quick

(18:50):
look around. So put my phone torch on, rummaged around
in my bedroom looking for it, could not find it,
but did wake my husband and he's like, what what
do you doing?

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Less than satisfied at that time and the imagined ten
to four wake up. You know you don't want to rummage.

Speaker 9 (19:05):
Yeah, And he wasn't impressed about being woken up, And
he was LEAs impressed when I said I don't know
where my engagement ring is, because he often where I
leave it beside the base and he's like, don't leave
it there because you're gonna lose it.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
It was I told four o'clock in the morning, I
told you so.

Speaker 11 (19:24):
Yeah.

with the Internet and everything else.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
That would still batting or good on them. I mean,
teletics is probably the radio of you know, text wib pages,

your private information, credit card details, all that kind of stuff.

look like when you lie, you could go through his
thing right now you can look.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
Through my history.

at stuff that you know, sleazy pists would look at,
but just so you don't get like, you know, how
all your information gets taken from your computer? The cookies.

Speaker 6 (38:12):
So many websites now when you go on to it,
it's like, do you let us except all cookies?

Speaker 2 (38:17):
