number of people excited about a dollar fifty salary right now. Yeah,
but you know we've got picka pantry coming up speaking

every time I scoll on because you use on your phone. Yeah,
and then it comes up on the screen be Boys.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It sounds like Bee Boys and reaganan could be a
breakdown some combo exactly. So anyway, so scan the thing
and the wonderful Bristol Behind the counter, she was like, oh, hey,
just so you know, if you've earned enough points to
pay for your coffee today minus thirty cents. And I
was like, oh, that's fine, when I may as well
use the loyalty points and she's like, well, we'll just
(01:36):
have to do the thirty cent transaction. I'm like, great, boom,
swipe the credit card, walk away with cocky arrogance. Then
I hear, excuse me, sir, it's decline oh for thirty
thirty in front of people.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
She's doing in front of people as well. Surely thirty
cents is that you know this regular we go across
there and get hot drinks all the time. Tea you know, coffee.
Surely that was like, that's a situation that you can.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
To your credit. She was lovely about it. She's like, oh,

front of me. She's like, I tell you what, I'll
pay the thirty cents out of my money.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And she's like, I'll pay the thirty cents and then
you can. You can sort me out another day. But
she was, I tell you what, figuring out you got
zero dollars and zero dignity at the same time.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That was a humbling experience. It's an embarrassing decline.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Even your credit cards. Like, mate, you're too much of
a financial risk. I'm not even going to fort your
thirty thirty cents.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's been a rough month on the old critics totally, well,
I think you you forgot to put your invoice in
then't you? Yeah, yes, yeah, put your invoice And I
love this.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Like the line for the next person who was standing
there was like, do you want to start to give
a little page?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's the jonaan Ben podcast today.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, no, riddled, riddled with junktie conjunctivice get a two
thirty a miss on the old WhatsApp group saying, guys,
both eyes glued shut at the moment.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, yesterday it was one eye right, you're sleeping with
one eye open. Literally.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It is a nightmare when you have kajoke dividus though,
because you look like a zombie who hasn't slept for
a hangover zombie, don't you because there's kind of that
red sort of frame around your eyeball.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And she was wearing sunglasses and yesterday looking ruth stylish,
I know, but looking almost a little too cool for
you know, like.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Looked fantastic with those Sonny's on.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You're right, Like, we had meetings after the show and stuff,
and everyone was like, well, what's up with it?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Then when you took the glasses off, you're like, oh, big, God,
put it back. We hope you hope she recovers. That's so,
what is it. There's an antibiotic job.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So yeah, some sort of drops and antibiotics and stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Sure speedy recovery and pray to God that we didn't catch.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, it's now doing something in the mornings. And my
cat a little bit overweight, and I went to the
vet while back. He's like, you know the cat, you
know when they grabbed the sort of you know animals,
and they're like, yeah, it's a little.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You've had a history of fatting up the animals, your
dog the same thing. Well, it's like the do they
like grab it a bit of the love handles and
go ooh, not good.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
The cat's quite cute. The cat's friends with the neighbor's bunny,
so he goes over and actually hangs out in plays
with the neighbor's bunny, which is quite cool, and they
sort of lie together and hang out together. But the
bunny gets feed outside, so also the cat gets to
get into the bunny food as well.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So this sounds like a bloody Pixar movie. You should
write a Pixar movie about it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So even though we only feed him a certain amount,
the cat gets food elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So rabbits, they're just bloody carrots.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And yeah, he's got some palette. He eats little pellets
and eats the rabbit pellets as well, so it's very clever.
So there's getting some food. So he's a little bit chunky,
so I know that he's got to he's got to
watch his weight. But now he's got into a habit
because I get up in the morning, like you, you
get up early, no one in the house is up,
so to go to the kitchen and start like making
some snacks and stuff for my day and lunch, you know,
(04:51):
And the cat's like, oh, someone's up. And now he
comes and hangs out with me, and I get to
enjoy some company. He usual, he ignores you, the cat,
but he knows that I've got food and there's preparation
going on and stuff. And now I'm like, oh, do
I give him a little bit of chicken, a little
bit ham or whatever it is if I'm making that
sort of stuff. And I'm like, She's like, it's great
to have company. And now it's like he's my four
o'clock friend. We get up together. Yeah, but I'm enabling
(05:12):
the cat, really are I?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I do the same. I just want the dog to
like me the best, you know. And then so after
dinner because like sneakily in the kitchen, you know, how
left over me, you know, you just everyone does it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Animal's favorite. Yeah, and it's the only time the cat,
You're right, it's the only time the cat wants to
hang out with me. Any other time of the day. Nothing,
that's nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, and I know, which is quite humbling too, when
you're like, well, if I don't have food, he doesn't
like me, so but so.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'll do whatever I can do.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
You have the cat like that's the radio announcer in us.
We want to be liked even my cats and dogs.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Does he still does?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
He still just go go away for the entire day
and come back.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, a lot of the time already sleep on various
beds and stuff. And yeah, it's the.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Problem is rabbits. They don't move much, do they. That's
why the cats because the cat's not burning he's not
burning calories. I'm just sitting with this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
He is hanging out with the rabbit.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He's like your mate who just plays PlayStation smokes wheed
all day the rabbit.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So the cat needs some CrossFit friends, Yeah, to really
work some of that out, some that weight off. Hey,
next the six o'clock club. I've done this all week.
Are you up? What are you doing? Why you up early?
Maybe you're feeding your cats sneakerly under the kitchen bench
this morning. We'd love to hear from you. And thanks

Speaker 5 (06:44):
I tried to control myself a little bit. When I

was a pizza hut across the road from my Knippall Courts,
so every end of year season thing would.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Be there, Every birthday would be there.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
So I did a lot of pizza eating when I
was younger, and I was so sad when they got
rid of it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It was no.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Ninety five, by the so previous that I think it
was even cheaper than nine ninety five.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You can eat pizza, salads and desserts for nine ninety five,
wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, I had to grow with inflation. Now now it's
thirty dollars all you can eat, which, like you say,
it's good to charity.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Seems reasonable for something you know. To iconic wasn't as
good as you remember.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
It actually was, and they did such a good job
of it. Like the most was the same for the most.
The little marshmallows A little marshmallows, Oh that was great.

stuffing my face.

too full boxes on pizza.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
They were like, didn't take these? Yes, I took two homes,
throwing it out the door.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Brought it home to my partner Sam, and I see
this pizza on the bench. He's like, sweet And I'm
obviously getting up early now working with you, and so
I said, make sure you put it back in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
And I was that tired or full.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
And then I woke up at four am the next
morning and guess what, that pizza was sitting on the bench,
all warm and not refrigerated.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So that was a waste. You're regretted about that one?
Speaker 3 (09:21):

the same in our relationship. Jin tells me a million don't.

you on simple instructions that weren't followed through.
Speaker 11 (13:31):
But mate, just in general, I've been trying to get
the kids to listen a bit more and so I've
just decided to stop doing things myself, and to be honest,
it's backfiring pretty badly.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I was gonna say, how is it working? But something
up pretty nice.
Speaker 11 (13:46):
Them trying to get them to feed the cat and
you know, things like that, and then I just cattle
just me out me all night next to the bed
and I'll find out in the morning they didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So yeah, the cat's like, yeah, like a runway model
at the moment. No one's been but at Lisa and
I suppose they have looks like an absolute shambles.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
No one's tidying up at the moment because you're trying
to prove a point, there's Scott.
Speaker 11 (14:05):
Yeah, exactly, And I'll tell you what the four year
old listens better than the older ones. That backfires as well,
because i'd've been trying to tell her she's been she
was sick recently, not to not to leave the bucket,
you know, so she vomits. She vomits in the buckets,
so I don't clean up a mess. And she was
actually had diarrhea on the toilet and he'd lift a
bucket in the lounge and decided to go and get
(14:26):
it midway through.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So that back Oh well, it's a well.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Those are some details the hits that johonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
To go on Australia and the Rugby after just scraping
home last week. New Zealand and often the cake Tin's
not really the place that we do that well in
New Zealand. But I've got a bit of a hunch.
Oh he loves hunting humping, two of his favorite hobbies.
One he's allowed to do in the workplace. A Friday
morning hunch that New Zealand will one, but the Aussies
will be leading at half time. I'm when I put
(14:57):
that out there. That's playing seven to fifty at the
tab which it's pretty pretty good. And you can download
the all New Tab app and get your bed on
rat bit responsibility and one one hundred dollars bonus bit.
So sorry, a bonus cash bit right now you can
text hunch to four four eight seven will give that away?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Can I now? For weeks now, I have submitted an
official information request through the oi A for the results
of your hunters and you know you are refusing to
take part of my investigations.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You tell me the hunch wasn't quite on the money
to tell me when have your hunters come through? Yeah?
I think I was looking good at halftime news zeleve
We're up by quite a lot and I was like
New Zealand to win easily and then Australia came back
at the end, so you know, but this week, hey, hey.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
How do you know when a hunch is a good
hunters and then you feel it?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You just feel it.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
How can you tell them between the difference between a
good hunch and indigestion?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Well, that's true, it's tough. Sometimes it has been indigestion.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Now, Ellie producer, Elie lovely to have you in here.
Thank you for having me some huge news overnight in
the world of sports. Since we're here now, you're a
Formula One fan.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I am, I sure am. I love it and I've
loved it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Since I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And what's happened overnight big news.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
We now, starting from the next race, which is in
a few weeks, like three weeks, we have a Keiwi
that's gonna be in the Formula One season for the
rest of the season.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Co So Liam Lawson, Yeah, he's got the job because
they've been talking about it though he was going to
get it, not going to get it. So he's finally
got it.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
He's finally got it. So he's been in the wings
for years. Actually he did if too quite a few
years ago, and he's kind of just been sitting there waiting.
And then last year he actually filled in for a
couple of races when Daniel Ricardo, who's an Aussie driver,
broke his hand. Liam came in smashed it like, did
the best he could have done. But then he still
didn't get a seat, didn't get a seat, and there's
been rumors and rumors and now basically Daniel Ricardo, unfortunately,
(16:43):
who I also love, he's actually been dropped mid season
from the Red Bull Racing team, not that it's the
Junior one.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Megan's a big fan too of Formula One. She was
playing me the video of the poor guy. And he's
had a race and he obviously hasn't done as well
as he hoped. And yeah, his voice is quivering easily.
You can just tell it's the end of.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
His career and that's terrifying.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Yeah, it's very bittersweet, actually, because I'm a huge jenuor
Carter fan, and I'm a hugely and Lawson fan, So
I'm really sad about Danny leaving. But I'm very happy
for Liam because he very much deserves it. And this
is the first time we've had a Kiwi and if
one since about twenty eighteen, i'd say, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
So it's very exciting, very elite group of people too.
You know, you look at everyone in the world who drives,
Will I drive?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You drive?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
To have them as the group we have any twenty.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Drivers twenty Yeah, so he's pretty much it'll we set
up to go.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yeah, it's incredible and I'm hoping. We don't know whether
he's going to be in next season. There's about six
races left. We don't know if he'll be in next season,
but I'm guessing if he does a good job, he'll
be signed.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I'm sure, correct me if I'm wrong. This is the
team that's managed by Ginger Spice's husband, so.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
That is Christian Horner, and he manages the whole Red
Bull team. This is actually RB which is the junior team.
So yes, it's technically the same company, but it's basically
the Red Bull junior team, That's what i'd say. But
they're in the if one races.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So what do you see Ginger Spice's husband in the office.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Hey, well yeah, he's not calling it justices husband has
even got the trouble of going Jerry Holly, well.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You give yeah, yeah, the hats that johnaan Ben Podcast savings.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
As we mentioned before, this weekend clocks go forward an
hour on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Now, we did ask earlier in the show, if you're
doing an overnight shift, do you lose an hour's pay
in this scenario? And do you gain an hour's pay
when you do it at the other time of the
year and someone's exy text and they pay the full
shift when it goes forward, and an extra hour when
you work the longer, an extra hour's pay makes sense
at the end of the day. Now, Comedian Paxiesati will
(18:44):
know from seven Days is wonderful show raised by refugees
and as many stand up gigs over the years. He
is about to go on tour and he joins us
on the phone right now, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Pasaesati secrets. Are you going on tour around the country?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You?
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Do you work? Does the name come first? Does the
name come last? Wen, it's when you're coming up with
the comedy show.
Speaker 9 (19:05):
Honestly, the name popped up.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
The image that we wanted to use was me doing
fingers to the mouth shush yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like a nineties sort of I've seen you crouch down,
sort of.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Telling the world to be quiet. And the name came
from the image. And then I had to write a
show around that, which is the worst way to write
a comedy show.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
I took that route, but actually.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
What it did sorr if I'm a little bit pussed,
I'm walking. I'm crazy who walks when it's not even
COVID time?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But anyway, where are you walking to?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I've just decided to do morning walks forth and for
the creative process and get my mental juices flow.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It is it helping? Did you find that it's a helpful.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
Game have known you joke?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Tell you what the steps are through the roof?
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Mate, steps are through the roof?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Oh you are very funny. Packs you know many comedy
shows over the years, TV shows, seven Days raised by refugees.
But to people recognize you for your voiceover work for
two degrees, is here what they were going, that's the
voice for two degrees.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
I have become the two degrees guy.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Which is so offensive because I have this body of
work and the thing that's made me the most famous
is walking into a studio and saying ads, which was like,
as far as telecommunications companies go, two degrees is kind
of the hit one, the kind of like almost like
the indie one. So it's kind of the cooler one
to be a part of. But I'm like, hey, guys
are more than that.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
You know, more than people yelled.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Sometimes people yelled the wrong company at me, and I'm like, no,
it's the wrong company.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
We're the cooler one, more indie one.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
Yeah, I'm the indie one.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Pactice Sarti with us. Great to image of you on
the Instagram a couple of months ago. You must have
been in the States with Comedy Legends. Sarah Silverman David
Spades in the photo there as well.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
That was That was an insane experience. The way that
happened was I'm lucky enough to have an agent in
LA and my agent set up a comedy show for
me to do, and I had no idea that I
was going to be doing a gig with Literal Global
Superstar Comedy Legends. There was one of the most shocking
experiences when I walked into the room and walked into
the green room and Sarah Silverman and David Spade and
(21:13):
Peete Holmes were just sitting there. Here's the thing. I
killed the gig, like, I crushed the gig itself, being
on stage talking to the audience. I bombed the green room.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
It was so awkward, so weird.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
At one point, at one point I called David Spade,
David Spade, so interesting, David Spade, You're like, are you okay?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I am taking my backstage brandy here.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Was bad. Yeah, the gig was great. The backstage gig
I bombed.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
But did they give you any advice? Were you asking
them for atty tips and tricks?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
A lot of their advice boiled down to this industry
will take your soul and crush you into a fine powder.
And I went home and I came back to New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Now Ben has stumbled across something gold on your Instagram
which you probably haven't known.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, no, of course, you know, like you know your
great Instagram, you get comments from people you know reacting. Well,
there's a couple of comments. Have you ever seen comments
popping up from the Trident Tavern and one hunger Now
they commented There was two of the things. I was
looking through and doing some research for the interview and
I was like, oh, they've commented once on one of
your posts and then they've commented a couple of weeks
earlier on another post. Now, so this is what they've
(22:28):
said on one of your posts. Hey mate, when you're
in this to you a mate, when you're in Auckland,
pop into the Trident Tavern for a hard session on
the jugs bean ticking. Mate, we have the hardest drinkers,
love to have some laughs with you. Very positive, very
great stuff. So that's a message. And then the second
one was beauty stuff mate. If you want to drink
with Auckland's hardest drinkers, come down to the Trident Tavern.
(22:49):
Great meals if you need to line your stomach. We
have four poke's and a claw machine machine. So I
don't know if you've been there, but they obviously want
to have you in the establishment. Packs.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
They definitely and they definitely would like me to engage
with their establishment. I someone needs to tell them that
I've never had alcohol in my life. I had a
hard night on the jugs. I think my liver would
just I'm not a hard night on the drug sort
of guy.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Very funny pack lovely to catch up with you and
we'll meet for lunch at the trin in one day.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
Yeah, well that sounds lovely.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
The hats the jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
My daughter and I see her to a podcast called
When I Grow Up. It's aimed, you know, at a
young girls, trying to inspire them, talking to inspirational women
and you know, if you want to listen with your
kids or get your kids to listen, that really is
really incredible. Some of the guests we've had like Karen Walker,
Lucy Lawless, and this week Kayleie Bell Country Music Star,
which she is incredible. She's you know, she's just such
(23:48):
a hard worker and been, you know, a huge fan
of country since the country wasn't as big as it
was now, you know, like doing that.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
The country was a punchline.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Oh cool the Country Music Awards, Yeah exactly, and our
country is huge and she's incredible. She has such great
advice that she could pass on as well. But one
of the scariest things that she did was she went
on that TV show The Voice and yeah, you know,
the reality music show Keeping Cheers, Good Tears, And it
was like the day before they were like, oh, the
song that we thought you were going to sing, which
was like the Dixie Checks Landslide. They're like, no, we
(24:19):
want you to do an original song because you do
a song about Keith Urban, the country music star, and
he's one of the judges. And they were like the
day before, they're like, you're going to do that song
and she was like okay. So she was singing the
song to Keith Urban, his back was turned, and she
talked about how scary it was walking out onto the set.
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Of The Voice, looking through those doors of the Voice
and it's silent, like it is so quiet, it's just
like your heels are like just doing that like a
click clock, and it was just so daunting. I just
remember standing there and it takes like they kind of
allow you thirty seconds or something to kind of get
in the zone. But it's actually the most terrifying thirty
seconds of your life because you're like, I'm singing to
(24:56):
the like singing.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
To the back of a tear is terrifying.
Speaker 12 (24:59):
Litt alone, I was thinking to Keith Urban a song
that I've written, like as a tribute. It was just
there was a lot of layers. But again, one of
the scariest things that I've ever done has turned into
seriously one of the most like rewarding.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
She's measured. If Keith didn't turn around, there would have been, Yeah,
that would have been terrified. What if he doesn't like
the song I'm written about?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And you want to know, what if he doesn't know
it's about him too? You're like, I've been like I say,
but over emphasized, Keith, it's you, It's about you. But
he did turn around, and all the judges turned around.
But then they bloom and blot Keith herban from being
your mentor. Oh so he didn't even so he chose
her as the mentor. He was the first to turn around.
They all turned around, and then there was a dumb
reality TV show rule that you could block and you
(25:43):
could snake someone else's you know, person and they snake
bloody off. Yeah, so she didn't get to work with
Keith Herban and.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
She wrote as well, so ment it.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I can't I can't remember. I mean Jessica Melboy or
something like that one of the other judges, or Reda
Aora was on the other judges.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
But yeah, she's like, this.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Is great, but I didn't write a song about a
mobile exactly. So that really is a fascinating chat. Cadie
Beell's incredible. She talks about our working with sharing as well,
what she learned with performing before him and hard work
as well. So I catch it right now. We ever
get your podcast. It's called When I Grow Up?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
How country is she? Did she park a tractor in
the work Harper? I want to know.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't actually see she's chewing some hay. Yeah, she's
pretty country. It was a lot of time in Nashville,
so I don't know if she parked the tractor down stairs.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, the visitor park so they're always open for tre
The heads that jonaan Ben.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Podcasts A Meigan off this morning, She's riddled with conjunctive
bis so at home with two eyes glued shut, which
is not fun in anyone's language?
Speaker 11 (26:42):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Tell me that in Spanish? So that doesn't sound fun, French,
any language. I just want to addressing in an email.
There's been firing around. We do staff opinion surveys here
at work, like a lot of companies do. They're anonymous,
get stuff off your chest.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And you eventually do it. You feel like you're the
last one. Yeah, does it? I do, I'll do that today.
And then there's still one more person and was like,
it's Jo John. I hasn't done as yet. So yeah,
we all completed them.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And then obviously people off of feedback and you know,
constructive criticism and stuff. And then the boss has come
out and said, hey, thanks for your honesty and feedback,
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I replied to some of them because they don't know
who they're replying to. It's all anonymous. But I've only
had one response back, and this was on a group email,
and I was like, here's an idea. Why don't we
just all hit reply all and just have an open conversation.
He's come back, Matt our boss. He's the great idea. Johno,
let's start with this one, and he screenshoted a response
(27:39):
from the survey that says what's on your mind right
now that you'd like to tell us? And someone wrote
in size eighteen font Johno sucks it was thanks for sharing,
appreciate your feedback.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
So it could be anyone. I mean really could be
anyone there. I don't know that, but well anyone could
have written that.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
So yeah, so now I regret saying this. We had
a fun couple of weeks trying to find a new
move for New Zealand's newest football team in the A League,
the Australasian Football League, haven't we Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Aukland FC October nineteenth is their first game, which is
rolling around really quickly. Get your tickets right now, a
mount smart. The first game is going to be it'll
be really historic seeing the first time that the Knights,
the Black Knights run out there on the paddock, and
we've been trying to get a move to inspire the fans.
The players maybe might want to use it if they
score a goal. We pitched to move. The afternoon show
(28:33):
Medie and PJ also pitched to move, and people have
been voting for their favorite move. Ours was actually Meghan
came up with it. She was like, well, it's the
Black Knights, why don't we do the knighthood, you know,
which is pretty simple to her. I for players scores
a goal, they can get down on one knee and
another plaque and pretend to night them with the sword.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
It's a two person role playing jenary sword.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
But if you're in the crowd, you can turn next
to the person next year and pretend to do it,
you know, with the sword.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Why don't we get much rubber swords that everyone else,
you know, swing the swords around great great spitball and
not the thing. They can be hit swords.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I love it, love it.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I'll get the finest children on China and the factory
onto it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
They could be carb or they'd be rubber, they could
be whatever you know you're they could be metal. It
could be but yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Seems a expensive and slightly slightly hazardous.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
You don't want to get football fans something too sharp, drunk.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Football fans with medals. Great idea, Yes, anyway, we'll talk
about that off you.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
But keep an eye out at the head stock kinds
ear because you could have your chance of one two
hundred and fifty dollars by uploading a video of yourself
doing our winning move. And I'd like to see, like,
this is what I'd like to say. I'd like to
see someone doing something. You know, you're like, oh, I've
put some toast of the toaster and popped up. I
catch the toast and then you do the move, you know,
something to celebrate, you.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Know, your life celebrations.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, you've got a park right outside the shop that
you needed to walk into exactly. Yeah, you do the
little knighthood. Yeah, you can talk to yourself. You could
do it to someone else. You can night yourself.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
So that's the move. Now, I've never started I've never
started a move. How do we get the ground? How
do we get the ground swelled? Let's talk to the
guy who invented planking, yeah, or the lady who invented
twerking or something. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I don't yeah, I mean maybe nothing that comes like
a TikTok thing that people get onto.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I don't know, the architect of dabbing. They might have
some tips on how to it feels like, do you
force it?
Speaker 9 (30:25):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
They want to force it too much. But I guess
we are giving time and fifty dollars as a reward
for it.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
If you want to get I think the key is
getting the players to do it. Yeah, if we need
to get inside the camp.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Like savings at this weekend, the clocks go forward forward
at two o'clock I think on Sunday morning, early Sunday
morning in New Zealand. Does that mean if you're working
a night shift, like an overnight shift, one less ound.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah. Look, if you start at ten pm and finish
at six.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You get one less sounds. You do work. Yeah, but
then the the stinct thing is, in like six months time,
you probably have to one extra hour.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Is in the case, it's almost worth getting an overnight
shift just to enjoy that one less hour of work,
just so you can say, unless.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You're getting paid by the hour and then they're like,
oh mate.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Whatever's in that scenario?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Does the company.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
My poor CHERI the hits that John wan Ben.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Podcast texts hanging out with us Who's having the best weekend?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
We love to do this every Friday, heading into the weekend,
find out which island is having the best weekend. We
have two representatives of each island. Come on. From the
Hats and christ Church we have Connor and from the
Hats out of Wellington we have Hailey.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah. They both likely suggest what we should be doing
this weekend. Sometimes it's a little forceful, isn't it what
we should be doing this weekend?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Connor, lovely to have you on baby get out now.
I'll be following you on the talk mate.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And you've been doing a wonderful expose in christ Church
City on the seagull Pit, which is in the middle
of the sea. We've walked past the seagull pit many times.
It's like a giant construction site where seagulls really have
made themselves at home.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
Yeah, pretty much what happened was after the earthquakes, like
so many other places in christ Church, they just leave
holes on the ground, soup filled up with water, and
then seagulls decided to nest the airend because it's spring,
giving their checks.
Speaker 10 (34:57):
And so if you walk past.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
The seagull pit, they get quite defensive and more often
than not swoop you as you're just trying to enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yeah, hundreds and hundreds of seagulls. I would hate to
be the property developer who takes over that place because
evicting those tenants is going to be a nightmare. Anyway.
Speaker 10 (35:13):
Catholic Church, it's the Catholic Church.
Speaker 9 (35:16):
Oh do they Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Oh well, well, let's hope the seagulls have a wonderful weekend.
But what is happening in the south this weekend.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
Well, it's pretty straightforward, this event based on the moonshine.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Excuse me, Haley, can we have less of the throats clearing?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
You give them a chance. You can't just go all
over the top of that, you'll get your your charts
all right, we want to hear what he has to say.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Sorry, it's great.
Speaker 8 (35:53):
It seemed to be a really fun and yummy fish
and moonshine, whiskey and cheese. Weell you pretty much sit
in a vineyard just outside of Blenham, drink moonshine, whiskey
and each geese. That's pretty much what it is. It
sounds fantastic.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
What a wonderful way to spend the weekend. Moonshine, whiskey
and cheese. Three have been favorite things. And what else
is happening?
Speaker 8 (36:11):
An epic double header roller Derby Extravaganza cow Stadium and
Christs Tomorrow Saturday.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
You've got the double in Derby.
Speaker 8 (36:18):
Welcoming visitors from Nelson and Limutucker to take on a
couple of local christ juge teams. And these people, I'm
not sure if you've seen roller Derby, but they basically
strengthen themselves up and your helmets from your alad and
just smash into each other for about an hour.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Follow spot. Megan used to play it. We've tried out
a couple of times, and you just spend a lot
of time on your backside. But if you're not very
good like us.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
We honestly turned out to do it, and they're like,
we'll just show you how it works.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
And then a.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Lady literally broke her broke her shoulder in front of us. Yeah,
and they're like, so she had to get shipped off
by Saint John's and they're like, now it's your two okay. Yeah,
and Hailey, what is happening in the North ol Connor?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Fear is fear?
Speaker 3 (36:58):
At some point during Hailey, rent, you get your cough
and clear your throat.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
We'll give you. We'll give you a three to five
second time period. You pick your moment. Okay, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 14 (37:08):

us ferrials and the media spreading all the information about
the cost of living.

Christis though salary dollar fifty for like a bunch of said,
I know that only that I was excited by that.
But salary price is great times by salary guys. The
dollar fifty for the full thing, not a half salary,
full salary.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I think you could probably count on your hands the
number of people excited about a dollar fifty salary right now. Yeah,
but you know we've got picka pantry coming up speaking
of the super market that's come out very Shortly's the
cost of living a huge, huge issue? Okay? So we
at the Cross the Road yesterday at the cafe and
we've signed up to a loyalty prob have you signed
up to the little.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Bit of an ame wrong somehow?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But anyway, but how do you spell beIN right?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I don't put the bean in the Bee Boys, so
I'll just roll that too late. Now it comes up
every time I scoll on because you use on your phone. Yeah,
and then it comes up on the screen be Boys.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It sounds like Bee Boys and reaganan could be a
breakdown some combo exactly. So anyway, so scan the thing
and the wonderful Bristol Behind the counter, she was like, oh, hey,
just so you know, if you've earned enough points to
pay for your coffee today minus thirty cents. And I
was like, oh, that's fine, when I may as well
use the loyalty points and she's like, well, we'll just
(01:36):
have to do the thirty cent transaction. I'm like, great, boom,
swipe the credit card, walk away with cocky arrogance. Then
I hear, excuse me, sir, it's decline oh for thirty
thirty in front of people.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
She's doing in front of people as well. Surely thirty
cents is that you know this regular we go across
there and get hot drinks all the time. Tea you know, coffee.
Surely that was like, that's a situation that you can.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
To your credit. She was lovely about it. She's like, oh,
that's that's sad.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
She said that to me.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
That's sad. Thirty stick thirty cents and doing it in
front of me. She's like, I tell you what, I'll
pay the thirty cents out of my money.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And she's like, I'll pay the thirty cents and then
you can. You can sort me out another day. But
she was, I tell you what, figuring out you got
zero dollars and zero dignity at the same time.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That was a humbling experience. It's an embarrassing decline.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Even your credit cards. Like, mate, you're too much of
a financial risk. I'm not even going to fort your
thirty thirty cents.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's been a rough month on the old critics totally, well,
I think you you forgot to put your invoice in
then't you? Yeah, yes, yeah, put your invoice And I
love this.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Like the line for the next person who was standing
there was like, do you want to start to give
a little page?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's the jonaan Ben podcast today.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, no, riddled, riddled with junktie conjunctivice get a two
thirty a miss on the old WhatsApp group saying, guys,
both eyes glued shut at the moment.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Well, yesterday it was one eye right, you're sleeping with
one eye open. Literally.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It is a nightmare when you have kajoke dividus though,
because you look like a zombie who hasn't slept for
a hangover zombie, don't you because there's kind of that
red sort of frame around your eyeball.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And she was wearing sunglasses and yesterday looking ruth stylish,
I know, but looking almost a little too cool for
you know, like.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Looked fantastic with those Sonny's on.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You're right, Like, we had meetings after the show and stuff,
and everyone was like, well, what's up with it?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Then when you took the glasses off, you're like, oh, big, God,
put it back. We hope you hope she recovers. That's so,
what is it. There's an antibiotic job.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So yeah, some sort of drops and antibiotics and stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Sure speedy recovery and pray to God that we didn't catch.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, it's now doing something in the mornings. And my
cat a little bit overweight, and I went to the
vet while back. He's like, you know the cat, you
know when they grabbed the sort of you know animals,
and they're like, yeah, it's a little.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You've had a history of fatting up the animals, your
dog the same thing. Well, it's like the do they
like grab it a bit of the love handles and
go ooh, not good.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
The cat's quite cute. The cat's friends with the neighbor's bunny,
so he goes over and actually hangs out in plays
with the neighbor's bunny, which is quite cool, and they
sort of lie together and hang out together. But the
bunny gets feed outside, so also the cat gets to
get into the bunny food as well.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So this sounds like a bloody Pixar movie. You should
write a Pixar movie about it.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So even though we only feed him a certain amount,
the cat gets food elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So rabbits, they're just bloody carrots.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And yeah, he's got some palette. He eats little pellets
and eats the rabbit pellets as well, so it's very clever.
So there's getting some food. So he's a little bit chunky,
so I know that he's got to he's got to
watch his weight. But now he's got into a habit
because I get up in the morning, like you, you
get up early, no one in the house is up,
so to go to the kitchen and start like making
some snacks and stuff for my day and lunch, you know,
(04:51):
And the cat's like, oh, someone's up. And now he
comes and hangs out with me, and I get to
enjoy some company. He usual, he ignores you, the cat,
but he knows that I've got food and there's preparation
going on and stuff. And now I'm like, oh, do
I give him a little bit of chicken, a little
bit ham or whatever it is if I'm making that
sort of stuff. And I'm like, She's like, it's great
to have company. And now it's like he's my four
o'clock friend. We get up together. Yeah, but I'm enabling
(05:12):
the cat, really are I?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I do the same. I just want the dog to
like me the best, you know. And then so after
dinner because like sneakily in the kitchen, you know, how
left over me, you know, you just everyone does it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Animal's favorite. Yeah, and it's the only time the cat,
You're right, it's the only time the cat wants to
hang out with me. Any other time of the day. Nothing,
that's nothing to do with me.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, and I know, which is quite humbling too, when
you're like, well, if I don't have food, he doesn't
like me, so but so.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'll do whatever I can do.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
You have the cat like that's the radio announcer in us.
We want to be liked even my cats and dogs.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Does he still does?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
He still just go go away for the entire day
and come back.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, a lot of the time already sleep on various
beds and stuff. And yeah, it's the.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Problem is rabbits. They don't move much, do they. That's
why the cats because the cat's not burning he's not
burning calories. I'm just sitting with this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
He is hanging out with the rabbit.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He's like your mate who just plays PlayStation smokes wheed
all day the rabbit.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So the cat needs some CrossFit friends, Yeah, to really
work some of that out, some that weight off. Hey,
next the six o'clock club. I've done this all week.
Are you up? What are you doing? Why you up early?
Maybe you're feeding your cats sneakerly under the kitchen bench
this morning. We'd love to hear from you. And thanks

so every end of year season thing would.
Speaker 3 (06:53):

rid of it.

Ninety five, by the so previous that I think it
was even cheaper than nine ninety five.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You can eat pizza, salads and desserts for nine ninety five,
wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, I had to grow with inflation. Now now it's
thirty dollars all you can eat, which, like you say,
it's good to charity.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Seems reasonable for something you know. To iconic wasn't as
good as you remember.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
It actually was, and they did such a good job
of it. Like the most was the same for the most.
The little marshmallows A little marshmallows, Oh that was great.

I said, make sure you put it back in the fridge.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
And then I woke up at four am the next
morning and guess what, that pizza was sitting on the bench,
all warm and not refrigerated.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So that was a waste. You're regretted about that one?

Speaker 11 (13:31):
But mate, just in general, I've been trying to get
the kids to listen a bit more and so I've
just decided to stop doing things myself, and to be honest,
it's backfiring pretty badly.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I was gonna say, how is it working? But something
up pretty nice.
Speaker 11 (13:46):
Them trying to get them to feed the cat and
you know, things like that, and then I just cattle
just me out me all night next to the bed
and I'll find out in the morning they didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
So yeah, the cat's like, yeah, like a runway model
at the moment. No one's been but at Lisa and
I suppose they have looks like an absolute shambles.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
No one's tidying up at the moment because you're trying
to prove a point, there's Scott.
Speaker 11 (14:05):
Yeah, exactly, And I'll tell you what the four year
old listens better than the older ones. That backfires as well,
because i'd've been trying to tell her she's been she
was sick recently, not to not to leave the bucket,
you know, so she vomits. She vomits in the buckets,
so I don't clean up a mess. And she was
actually had diarrhea on the toilet and he'd lift a
bucket in the lounge and decided to go and get
(14:26):
it midway through.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
So that back Oh well, it's a well.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Those are some details the hits that johonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
To go on Australia and the Rugby after just scraping
home last week. New Zealand and often the cake Tin's
not really the place that we do that well in
New Zealand. But I've got a bit of a hunch.
Oh he loves hunting humping, two of his favorite hobbies.
One he's allowed to do in the workplace. A Friday
morning hunch that New Zealand will one, but the Aussies
will be leading at half time. I'm when I put
(14:57):
that out there. That's playing seven to fifty at the
tab which it's pretty pretty good. And you can download
the all New Tab app and get your bed on
rat bit responsibility and one one hundred dollars bonus bit.
So sorry, a bonus cash bit right now you can
text hunch to four four eight seven will give that away?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Can I now? For weeks now, I have submitted an
official information request through the oi A for the results
of your hunters and you know you are refusing to
take part of my investigations.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You tell me the hunch wasn't quite on the money
to tell me when have your hunters come through? Yeah?
I think I was looking good at halftime news zeleve
We're up by quite a lot and I was like
New Zealand to win easily and then Australia came back
at the end, so you know, but this week, hey, hey.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
How do you know when a hunch is a good
hunters and then you feel it?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You just feel it.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
How can you tell them between the difference between a
good hunch and indigestion?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Well, that's true, it's tough. Sometimes it has been indigestion.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Now, Ellie producer, Elie lovely to have you in here.
Thank you for having me some huge news overnight in
the world of sports. Since we're here now, you're a
Formula One fan.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I am, I sure am. I love it and I've
loved it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Since I was a kid.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And what's happened overnight big news.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
We now, starting from the next race, which is in
a few weeks, like three weeks, we have a Keiwi
that's gonna be in the Formula One season for the
rest of the season.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Co So Liam Lawson, Yeah, he's got the job because
they've been talking about it though he was going to
get it, not going to get it. So he's finally
got it.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
He's finally got it. So he's been in the wings
for years. Actually he did if too quite a few
years ago, and he's kind of just been sitting there waiting.
And then last year he actually filled in for a
couple of races when Daniel Ricardo, who's an Aussie driver,
broke his hand. Liam came in smashed it like, did
the best he could have done. But then he still
didn't get a seat, didn't get a seat, and there's
been rumors and rumors and now basically Daniel Ricardo, unfortunately,
(16:43):
who I also love, he's actually been dropped mid season
from the Red Bull Racing team, not that it's the
Junior one.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Megan's a big fan too of Formula One. She was
playing me the video of the poor guy. And he's
had a race and he obviously hasn't done as well
as he hoped. And yeah, his voice is quivering easily.
You can just tell it's the end of.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
His career and that's terrifying.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Yeah, it's very bittersweet, actually, because I'm a huge jenuor
Carter fan, and I'm a hugely and Lawson fan, So
I'm really sad about Danny leaving. But I'm very happy
for Liam because he very much deserves it. And this
is the first time we've had a Kiwi and if
one since about twenty eighteen, i'd say, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
So it's very exciting, very elite group of people too.
You know, you look at everyone in the world who drives,

Drivers twenty Yeah, so he's pretty much it'll we set
up to go.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yeah, it's incredible and I'm hoping. We don't know whether
he's going to be in next season. There's about six
races left. We don't know if he'll be in next season,
but I'm guessing if he does a good job, he'll
be signed.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I'm sure, correct me if I'm wrong. This is the
team that's managed by Ginger Spice's husband, so.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
That is Christian Horner, and he manages the whole Red
Bull team. This is actually RB which is the junior team.
So yes, it's technically the same company, but it's basically
the Red Bull junior team, That's what i'd say. But
they're in the if one races.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
So what do you see Ginger Spice's husband in the office.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Hey, well yeah, he's not calling it justices husband has
even got the trouble of going Jerry Holly, well.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You give yeah, yeah, the hats that johnaan Ben Podcast savings.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
As we mentioned before, this weekend clocks go forward an
hour on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Now, we did ask earlier in the show, if you're
doing an overnight shift, do you lose an hour's pay
in this scenario? And do you gain an hour's pay
when you do it at the other time of the
year and someone's exy text and they pay the full
shift when it goes forward, and an extra hour when
you work the longer, an extra hour's pay makes sense
at the end of the day. Now, Comedian Paxiesati will
(18:44):
know from seven Days is wonderful show raised by refugees
and as many stand up gigs over the years. He
is about to go on tour and he joins us
on the phone right now, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Pasaesati secrets. Are you going on tour around the country?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You?
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Do you work? Does the name come first? Does the
name come last? Wen, it's when you're coming up with
the comedy show.
Speaker 9 (19:05):
Honestly, the name popped up.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
The image that we wanted to use was me doing
fingers to the mouth shush yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Like a nineties sort of I've seen you crouch down,
sort of.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Telling the world to be quiet. And the name came
from the image. And then I had to write a
show around that, which is the worst way to write
a comedy show.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
I took that route, but actually.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
What it did sorr if I'm a little bit pussed,
I'm walking. I'm crazy who walks when it's not even
COVID time?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
But anyway, where are you walking to?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I've just decided to do morning walks forth and for
the creative process and get my mental juices flow.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It is it helping? Did you find that it's a helpful.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
Game have known you joke?
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Tell you what the steps are through the roof?
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Mate, steps are through the roof?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Oh you are very funny. Packs you know many comedy
shows over the years, TV shows, seven Days raised by refugees.
But to people recognize you for your voiceover work for
two degrees, is here what they were going, that's the
voice for two degrees.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
I have become the two degrees guy.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Which is so offensive because I have this body of
work and the thing that's made me the most famous
is walking into a studio and saying ads, which was like,
as far as telecommunications companies go, two degrees is kind
of the hit one, the kind of like almost like
the indie one. So it's kind of the cooler one
to be a part of. But I'm like, hey, guys
are more than that.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
You know, more than people yelled.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Sometimes people yelled the wrong company at me, and I'm like, no,
it's the wrong company.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
We're the cooler one, more indie one.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
Yeah, I'm the indie one.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Pactice Sarti with us. Great to image of you on
the Instagram a couple of months ago. You must have
been in the States with Comedy Legends. Sarah Silverman David
Spades in the photo there as well.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
That was That was an insane experience. The way that
happened was I'm lucky enough to have an agent in
LA and my agent set up a comedy show for
me to do, and I had no idea that I
was going to be doing a gig with Literal Global
Superstar Comedy Legends. There was one of the most shocking
experiences when I walked into the room and walked into
the green room and Sarah Silverman and David Spade and
(21:13):
Peete Holmes were just sitting there. Here's the thing. I
killed the gig, like, I crushed the gig itself, being
on stage talking to the audience. I bombed the green room.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
It was so awkward, so weird.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
At one point, at one point I called David Spade,
David Spade, so interesting, David Spade, You're like, are you okay?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I am taking my backstage brandy here.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Was bad. Yeah, the gig was great. The backstage gig
I bombed.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
But did they give you any advice? Were you asking
them for atty tips and tricks?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
A lot of their advice boiled down to this industry
will take your soul and crush you into a fine powder.
And I went home and I came back to New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Now Ben has stumbled across something gold on your Instagram
which you probably haven't known.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, no, of course, you know, like you know your
great Instagram, you get comments from people you know reacting. Well,
there's a couple of comments. Have you ever seen comments
popping up from the Trident Tavern and one hunger Now
they commented There was two of the things. I was
looking through and doing some research for the interview and
I was like, oh, they've commented once on one of
your posts and then they've commented a couple of weeks
earlier on another post. Now, so this is what they've
(22:28):
said on one of your posts. Hey mate, when you're
in this to you a mate, when you're in Auckland,
pop into the Trident Tavern for a hard session on
the jugs bean ticking. Mate, we have the hardest drinkers,
love to have some laughs with you. Very positive, very
great stuff. So that's a message. And then the second
one was beauty stuff mate. If you want to drink
with Auckland's hardest drinkers, come down to the Trident Tavern.
(22:49):
Great meals if you need to line your stomach. We
have four poke's and a claw machine machine. So I
don't know if you've been there, but they obviously want
to have you in the establishment. Packs.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
They definitely and they definitely would like me to engage
with their establishment. I someone needs to tell them that
I've never had alcohol in my life. I had a
hard night on the jugs. I think my liver would
just I'm not a hard night on the drug sort
of guy.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Very funny pack lovely to catch up with you and
we'll meet for lunch at the trin in one day.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
Yeah, well that sounds lovely.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
The hats the jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
My daughter and I see her to a podcast called
When I Grow Up. It's aimed, you know, at a
young girls, trying to inspire them, talking to inspirational women
and you know, if you want to listen with your
kids or get your kids to listen, that really is
really incredible. Some of the guests we've had like Karen Walker,
Lucy Lawless, and this week Kayleie Bell Country Music Star,
which she is incredible. She's you know, she's just such
(23:48):
a hard worker and been, you know, a huge fan
of country since the country wasn't as big as it
was now, you know, like doing that.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
The country was a punchline.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Oh cool the Country Music Awards, Yeah exactly, and our
country is huge and she's incredible. She has such great
advice that she could pass on as well. But one
of the scariest things that she did was she went
on that TV show The Voice and yeah, you know,
the reality music show Keeping Cheers, Good Tears, And it
was like the day before they were like, oh, the
song that we thought you were going to sing, which
was like the Dixie Checks Landslide. They're like, no, we
(24:19):
want you to do an original song because you do
a song about Keith Urban, the country music star, and
he's one of the judges. And they were like the
day before, they're like, you're going to do that song
and she was like okay. So she was singing the
song to Keith Urban, his back was turned, and she
talked about how scary it was walking out onto the set.
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Of The Voice, looking through those doors of the Voice
and it's silent, like it is so quiet, it's just
like your heels are like just doing that like a
click clock, and it was just so daunting. I just
remember standing there and it takes like they kind of
allow you thirty seconds or something to kind of get
in the zone. But it's actually the most terrifying thirty
seconds of your life because you're like, I'm singing to
(24:56):
the like singing.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
To the back of a tear is terrifying.
Speaker 12 (24:59):
Litt alone, I was thinking to Keith Urban a song
that I've written, like as a tribute. It was just
there was a lot of layers. But again, one of
the scariest things that I've ever done has turned into
seriously one of the most like rewarding.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
She's measured. If Keith didn't turn around, there would have been, Yeah,
that would have been terrified. What if he doesn't like
the song I'm written about?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
And you want to know, what if he doesn't know
it's about him too? You're like, I've been like I say,
but over emphasized, Keith, it's you, It's about you. But
he did turn around, and all the judges turned around.
But then they bloom and blot Keith herban from being
your mentor. Oh so he didn't even so he chose
her as the mentor. He was the first to turn around.
They all turned around, and then there was a dumb
reality TV show rule that you could block and you
(25:43):
could snake someone else's you know, person and they snake
bloody off. Yeah, so she didn't get to work with
Keith Herban and.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
She wrote as well, so ment it.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I can't I can't remember. I mean Jessica Melboy or
something like that one of the other judges, or Reda
Aora was on the other judges.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
But yeah, she's like, this.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Is great, but I didn't write a song about a
mobile exactly. So that really is a fascinating chat. Cadie
Beell's incredible. She talks about our working with sharing as well,
what she learned with performing before him and hard work
as well. So I catch it right now. We ever
get your podcast. It's called When I Grow Up?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
How country is she? Did she park a tractor in
the work Harper? I want to know.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't actually see she's chewing some hay. Yeah, she's
pretty country. It was a lot of time in Nashville,
so I don't know if she parked the tractor down stairs.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, the visitor park so they're always open for tre
The heads that jonaan Ben.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Podcasts A Meigan off this morning, She's riddled with conjunctive
bis so at home with two eyes glued shut, which
is not fun in anyone's language?
Speaker 11 (26:42):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Tell me that in Spanish? So that doesn't sound fun, French,
any language. I just want to addressing in an email.
There's been firing around. We do staff opinion surveys here
at work, like a lot of companies do. They're anonymous,
get stuff off your chest.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And you eventually do it. You feel like you're the
last one. Yeah, does it? I do, I'll do that today.
And then there's still one more person and was like,
it's Jo John. I hasn't done as yet. So yeah,
we all completed them.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
And then obviously people off of feedback and you know,
constructive criticism and stuff. And then the boss has come
out and said, hey, thanks for your honesty and feedback,
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Listen.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I replied to some of them because they don't know
who they're replying to. It's all anonymous. But I've only
had one response back, and this was on a group email,
and I was like, here's an idea. Why don't we
just all hit reply all and just have an open conversation.
He's come back, Matt our boss. He's the great idea. Johno,
let's start with this one, and he screenshoted a response
(27:39):
from the survey that says what's on your mind right
now that you'd like to tell us? And someone wrote
in size eighteen font Johno sucks it was thanks for sharing,
appreciate your feedback.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
So it could be anyone. I mean really could be
anyone there. I don't know that, but well anyone could
have written that.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
So yeah, so now I regret saying this. We had
a fun couple of weeks trying to find a new
move for New Zealand's newest football team in the A League,
the Australasian Football League, haven't we Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Aukland FC October nineteenth is their first game, which is
rolling around really quickly. Get your tickets right now, a
mount smart. The first game is going to be it'll
be really historic seeing the first time that the Knights,
the Black Knights run out there on the paddock, and
we've been trying to get a move to inspire the fans.
The players maybe might want to use it if they
score a goal. We pitched to move. The afternoon show
(28:33):
Medie and PJ also pitched to move, and people have
been voting for their favorite move. Ours was actually Meghan
came up with it. She was like, well, it's the
Black Knights, why don't we do the knighthood, you know,
which is pretty simple to her. I for players scores
a goal, they can get down on one knee and
another plaque and pretend to night them with the sword.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
It's a two person role playing jenary sword.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
But if you're in the crowd, you can turn next
to the person next year and pretend to do it,
you know, with the sword.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Why don't we get much rubber swords that everyone else,
you know, swing the swords around great great spitball and
not the thing. They can be hit swords.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I love it, love it.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I'll get the finest children on China and the factory
onto it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
They could be carb or they'd be rubber, they could
be whatever you know you're they could be metal. It
could be but yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Seems a expensive and slightly slightly hazardous.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
You don't want to get football fans something too sharp, drunk.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Football fans with medals. Great idea, Yes, anyway, we'll talk
about that off you.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
But keep an eye out at the head stock kinds
ear because you could have your chance of one two
hundred and fifty dollars by uploading a video of yourself
doing our winning move. And I'd like to see, like,
this is what I'd like to say. I'd like to
see someone doing something. You know, you're like, oh, I've
put some toast of the toaster and popped up. I
catch the toast and then you do the move, you know,
something to celebrate, you.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Know, your life celebrations.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, you've got a park right outside the shop that
you needed to walk into exactly. Yeah, you do the
little knighthood. Yeah, you can talk to yourself. You could
do it to someone else. You can night yourself.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
So that's the move. Now, I've never started I've never
started a move. How do we get the ground? How
do we get the ground swelled? Let's talk to the
guy who invented planking, yeah, or the lady who invented
twerking or something. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I don't yeah, I mean maybe nothing that comes like
a TikTok thing that people get onto.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I don't know, the architect of dabbing. They might have
some tips on how to it feels like, do you
force it?
Speaker 9 (30:25):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
They want to force it too much. But I guess
we are giving time and fifty dollars as a reward
for it.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
If you want to get I think the key is
getting the players to do it. Yeah, if we need
to get inside the camp.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Like savings at this weekend, the clocks go forward forward
at two o'clock I think on Sunday morning, early Sunday
morning in New Zealand. Does that mean if you're working
a night shift, like an overnight shift, one less ound.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah. Look, if you start at ten pm and finish
at six.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You get one less sounds. You do work. Yeah, but
then the the stinct thing is, in like six months time,
you probably have to one extra hour.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Is in the case, it's almost worth getting an overnight
shift just to enjoy that one less hour of work,
just so you can say, unless.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You're getting paid by the hour and then they're like,
oh mate.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Whatever's in that scenario?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Does the company.

My poor CHERI the hits that John wan Ben.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Podcast texts hanging out with us Who's having the best weekend?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
We love to do this every Friday, heading into the weekend,
find out which island is having the best weekend. We
have two representatives of each island. Come on. From the
Hats and christ Church we have Connor and from the
Hats out of Wellington we have Hailey.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah. They both likely suggest what we should be doing
this weekend. Sometimes it's a little forceful, isn't it what
we should be doing this weekend?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Connor, lovely to have you on baby get out now.
I'll be following you on the talk mate.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
And you've been doing a wonderful expose in christ Church
City on the seagull Pit, which is in the middle
of the sea. We've walked past the seagull pit many times.
It's like a giant construction site where seagulls really have
made themselves at home.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
Yeah, pretty much what happened was after the earthquakes, like
so many other places in christ Church, they just leave
holes on the ground, soup filled up with water, and
then seagulls decided to nest the airend because it's spring,
giving their checks.
Speaker 10 (34:57):
And so if you walk past.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
The seagull pit, they get quite defensive and more often
than not swoop you as you're just trying to enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Yeah, hundreds and hundreds of seagulls. I would hate to
be the property developer who takes over that place because
evicting those tenants is going to be a nightmare. Anyway.
Speaker 10 (35:13):
Catholic Church, it's the Catholic Church.
Speaker 9 (35:16):
Oh do they Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Oh well, well, let's hope the seagulls have a wonderful weekend.
But what is happening in the south this weekend.
Speaker 8 (35:23):
Well, it's pretty straightforward, this event based on the moonshine.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Excuse me, Haley, can we have less of the throats clearing?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
You give them a chance. You can't just go all
over the top of that, you'll get your your charts
all right, we want to hear what he has to say.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Sorry, it's great.
Speaker 8 (35:53):
It seemed to be a really fun and yummy fish
and moonshine, whiskey and cheese. Weell you pretty much sit
in a vineyard just outside of Blenham, drink moonshine, whiskey
and each geese. That's pretty much what it is. It
sounds fantastic.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
What a wonderful way to spend the weekend. Moonshine, whiskey
and cheese. Three have been favorite things. And what else
is happening?
Speaker 8 (36:11):
An epic double header roller Derby Extravaganza cow Stadium and
Christs Tomorrow Saturday.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
You've got the double in Derby.
Speaker 8 (36:18):
Welcoming visitors from Nelson and Limutucker to take on a
couple of local christ juge teams. And these people, I'm
not sure if you've seen roller Derby, but they basically
strengthen themselves up and your helmets from your alad and
just smash into each other for about an hour.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Follow spot. Megan used to play it. We've tried out
a couple of times, and you just spend a lot
of time on your backside. But if you're not very
good like us.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
We honestly turned out to do it, and they're like,
we'll just show you how it works.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
And then a.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Lady literally broke her broke her shoulder in front of us. Yeah,
and they're like, so she had to get shipped off
by Saint John's and they're like, now it's your two okay. Yeah,
and Hailey, what is happening in the North ol Connor?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Fear is fear?
Speaker 3 (36:58):
