never won a World Cut before. If they win, there's
some great price money put on by Cricket ic C,
so they'll basically get they'll get split between the team
equivalent to three point eight five million New Zealand dollars,
so it gets about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
each player if they win.

Not a bad day at work.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
One hundred and fifty one thousand dollars if they come

pretty good, like a good payday and historic moment for
the White.

Yeah eight right, lost ten games in a row leading
up to this tournament and twenty the White fans, so

a few wins together.

Oh, this is amazing, just waking it out.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think I just caught it on.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
A hell of an occasion here.

Speaker 8 (05:19):
This is such a huge moment for this group of
awesome women, women who have played the game in New
Zealand for a long time, who have worked hard to
get it to this point, young women coming through.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's a really ri.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Oh bloody, what's it?

Speaker 8 (05:34):
Oh there was going to be like what I'm watching,
I'm gonna get hit with champagn I'm gonna get hit
with a champagne.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Hold on, hold on, Actually may not move into it.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Maybe I need to lean.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
It's a it's a wonderful moment. It's very very exciting,
and the girls deserves us.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
It is just so incredible emotional scenes as we're watching
on the TV right now, as well as doing a
radio show.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
It just is incredible. And it's all to know as well.

Speaker 2 (06:00):

Yeah, so the ICC is.

Speaker 8 (06:06):
Pay parody for the women in this World Cup and
it's it's it's awesome. It's it's very exciting. You know,
these young women can God, they can do.

Speaker 9 (06:14):
Whatever they will.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
They want.

Speaker 8 (06:16):
They can retire money now it's buying a house only,
you know. I mean, I don't think everyone should be
shouting themdrix so I don't have to worry about that
for a while.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
But this is a huge moment.

Speaker 8 (06:25):
It's been a tough road for these fabulous women in
this group of people, and they're a special group of
people and we're very, very excited for them.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
How are they feeling, because I saw that you got
to speak to a couple of them before the you know,
the ceremony. How are they feeling.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
Excited?

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Summer shops.

Speaker 8 (06:43):
Susie Basse described it as she thinks she's been in
a car accident and someone's forgotten to wake her up.
It's it's a real it's a really great moment and
they're very excited and so they should be. This is
this is huge and I know the times at home
haven't been great for people to get up and watch,
which is a real shame. But hopefully there'll be plenty
of replays of this on because they absolutely took it

(07:06):
to South Africa. From the very first fall, there was
no doubt that this is New Zealand's trophy. They were prepared,
they were well executed with their plans. They were brilliant
and I feel really proud. I feel really emotional. I've
got a daughter and I know she was up watching
this with her dad and I think, you know, it's
one of those sporting things that you know, I certain

(07:26):
remember getting out watching sporting events with my dad to
think this is one that's it's the women winning the
world card by its wicked.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's an incredible first ever World Cup victory for the woman.
They won the first ye over format about twenty four
years ago. But it's just an incredible performance, well deserved,
Laura mic Golder. We'll let you get back to it,
but thank you so much for your time this morning.

Speaker 8 (07:46):
Guys, the girls brown, you're just holding me up from
a drink.

Speaker 10 (07:51):
Okay, all right, go and.

Speaker 8 (07:52):
Party, Good morning New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Load of gold wife from the tea to any World
Cup and do buy the White Flames.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Ah, she's still she's parting. We're still listening to you, Laura.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
She's hung up now.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Okay, there we go the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
He's been living a neighborhood for about a year and
a half or so, and.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
He's gone he's discovered a local pizza shop, right, and
so he goes to the pizzaia sort of once every fortnight,
and he's become you know, on a first name basis
with the charismatic. He says, he's a charismatic, frazzled Italian
man behind the counter. Now it's a husband and wife shop,
sort of a small suburban pizza shop. And he says,
every time this guy tells a story with his voice

(08:32):
and his hand ishes, it seems like it's the most
important story in the world. But it could be him
just talking about how he's got a twelve dollars parking ticket.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
And I love that about Italian passionate people.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, they are.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
And he's got to a point now, he said, the
last three times he's picked up his pizza, he'll walk
into the shop and the guy's by and then the
phone wal ring and easy is to mine, friend, the customer,
you answer the phone. So then he hears a hot
behind the counter, and then he is to take the
phone orders, O get you one one girl at pizza.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, you want a ham and cheese. It's like we
don't have hamm and Jesus this evening.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
So he's kind of wow and getting and his issue
is he's getting no discount on his pizza.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Thanks for helping out.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
The free laborer is getting him nothing at all of
us this guy's just like, oh, this is what's something
that my customers will do?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Would answer the phone?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I mean, I guess the guy. I know he loves
his pizza. Yeah, he's been providing him with wonderful pizza.
But at the same time feels like that's an extra
step too far. You had a cafe, would you ever
got anyone?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
No?

Speaker 5 (09:34):
But my friend she goes to the same place every Friday,
and it got to the point where they were like,
if you want to jump behind the you know, thinking
behind here and do some dishes, we'll give you a
free coffee. So she started doing that. She doesn't get paid,
but she gets free coffee for doing dishes.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
How many dishes justifies a free coffee?

Speaker 5 (09:50):
I think she just kind of clears what's there at
the time.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's not a bad maybe, you know, cost of living crisis,
a bit of a bartering system.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Work. Do I need to do to get free lunch,
free drink, free beer?

Speaker 5 (10:05):
You would be got time?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah? Yeah, I don't know how anyone's going to turn
a profit there. You go into what like a sandwich
like a subway, but there's no one working here. I was like, well,
help yourself.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
The lunch free labor la anyway, he just he just
wanted to get the message across it.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Maybe this guy and his wife could look to maybe
hire some help.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
The heads that John and Ben podcast was.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
It was a big week for us last week. We
were traveling around the country, lots of fun, but like,
probably didn't go to sleep as early as I should have.
So I went into the weekend a little bit tired.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
You look tired, didn't well, excuse me. On Friday beat
a meal.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
I thought, I thought maybe I would like catch up
because they wouldn't be with the kids. I was like,
I can get to beat early. Didn't happen. So over
the weekend I was like, now's the chance to catch up.
That didn't happen either. The kids up in the night
and stuff. So it got to Sunday and we went out.
I was like, really keen for a chill weekend. Went
out to a thirtieth on Sunday. On Saturday night and

(11:03):
the Sunday there was activities during the day. So we
ended up driving.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Describing perfect weekend right now, stuff to do?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Talk activities to me, come on.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
But it was great, great fun. But I was so tired,
and we we managed to time it, so we'd drive
home right when my daughter was to have a nap.
So we got to the driveway, which I don't remember
because I was passed out, and my daughter fell asleep.
We were like, great nap time in the car. But
my son fell asleep too. So my husband pulls up
in the driveway and he's like, okay, well all three

(11:35):
of you asleep.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
My family is asleep.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
So he wound down the window and or all the
windows and had sleep as well. So all of us
apparently we're asleep in the car in the driveway, and.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
We came out to visit. I'd like everything okay the police,
I know.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
So I was like, are you sure that's okay? Because
the neighbors would be like are they are right?

Speaker 10 (11:58):
Like mouth open to do that.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I know, you'd be like to have the house to myself.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah exactly. And given like he's like, you Ben, he's
like to go, go go and do things and go
these a bed inside.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I mentioned you have a bed. I don't mean to
your house.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
I think initially maybe he was just gonna watch over us,
but then he fell asleep too, and then it was
an hour later, hot yesterday afternoon, he was nice enough
to crack a window round down the windows.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Well, one of your grave fears while we were on
the tour last week was us taking photos of you
while you were asleep.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
You're like one rule, no one takes a photo of me.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
I did fall asleep, didn't I? But by briefly I
snored in the car.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I've got my whole career. I've had photos of me.
Even a little sub account on the Breakfast called Sleepy
John just shot at me sleeping in various locations.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
I have taken a photo of you asleep in a cinema,
but you never specified that it wasn't allowed to enough.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
It's the only rule speaking. They never have you ever tour.
We're gonna recap at next What a wonderful week it.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Was the johnaan Ben podcast chat GPT.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
If you're not a favor it, It's kind of like
Google on steroids, isn't it on the Internet where you
can just type in any bit of information and it
will gather.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
It for you.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
And like what I'm using for a lot too is
I'm terrible at grammar, spelling, punctuation. If I write an email,
I put in a chat GP, I'm like, make this
you know, turn this into an email, which makes me
seem far more educated than I actually am.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
A boom zero point five or second, it's full stop.
Do you do that every times?

Speaker 2 (13:33):
And it's incredible how quickly it splits it out. And
then it's almost like a little secretary sometimes and there
they'll go, tell me if you want that, you know,
if you want to you know, like ask for changes,
feedback and gives you reasons behind why it's done it.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, although every time it's because sometimes you enter in
information and it says memory updating, and there's the moment
where I'm like, are we just spoon feeding this thing
every piece of information we know and it's going to
use it?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh, probably exactly in the future. They always talk about
the robots coming to get us.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Well, this is it, and I'm like, oh, well, at
least I put some full stops of email. But now
I've turned to using it for affirmation.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Okay, so when you feel bad about something in your life,
I've been asking it over the last week, whole bunch
of questions to make myself feel better. So I literally said,
I said, okay, if.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
I hate two burgers and three chocolate bars today, and
it came back boom zero point five of a second. Hey,
that's totally fine. It's always good to treat yourself and
you can make up for another day, right, just enjoy
the treats. I'm like, thanks, chet GPT. And then I'm like,
I only exercised once this week, totally fine, working out
once a week, that's still a win. Here's the bright side.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Trying up at next week a little bit, but celebrate
the progress. I'm thank you, ch GPT, and I'm like,
am I a bad person for not giving to it?
You know, the child who knocked on my door raising
money for little Ingalis puppy?

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Not at all. It's totally fine not to give to charity.
Sometimes there's a balance, and remember there's always going to
be another time. You're doing just fine. And I was like,
is there anything I can't type into this thing that's
going to make me feel better about life? So then
I really pushed the limits. I leveled it up. I said,
I've siphoned the entire life savings out of a sweet

(15:14):
elderly ladies bank account through an elaborate online scam am.
I a bad person, chat GPT. This is this is
the line in the sand. For chat gpt Ah, Yeah,
it's pretty bad. And then they had that emoji with
the wintersing emoji. Definitely not the kind of thing that
falls under harmless oopseeas I hope this is a joke ha,
good one.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
If not, then you definitely need to seek help to
get back on the right track and return the money
so that it's just got some morals more than me.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, when it's all our bosses in like six months time,
at least it's got a little bit of morals to
work with there.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Is it sell shark and fisted waters?

Speaker 1 (20:27):

it doesn't look that far. You look out from Sanfra
and you're like, okay, make that yeah what you feel?
I mean, I probably couldn't, but you feel like you could.
But I guess the waters are just really rough and
a lot of sharks.

Speaker 10 (20:36):
It's about two kilometers, which is actually quite a long
way if you want to swim there.

Speaker 2 (20:40):

Message being a rock star as close as we'll filled
a rock star returning home from tour.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
I came home.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I had a few things to get through on the weekend,
and then the kids, for some reason, they remember which
is lovely the dog's birthday every year. So this is
I was Bo's birthday. I'm a great boat. Doesn't know
if it's his birthday and whatever it is, what does
he get for them? Well, that's the thing normally, you know,
we just like I took him on a walk.

Speaker 6 (25:26):
It was like there.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
We gave mixtra pets as well, but I didn't realize
one of my daughters had made special biscuits, like actually
baked special biscuits. I came home and ate one of
those that are like they're for the dog. Actually were right.
They weren't made of dog food, but they were made
more for a dog anyway. So that was one animal
incident over the weekend. But then the sickond one is
out with my daughter and so I get a call

(25:47):
from my wife. She's like the cat had brought it
in a mouse, baby mouse. The cat loves bringing in
little mouse or rats and stuff like that. Huge win
for the cat, isn't it, and usually brings it in
and they're not Yeah, this they're still okay, they're not
or anything like that. But this little mouse, little tiny mouse, apparently,
according to my wife, was running around. They're trying to
get it. She's like, I've finally got this mouse. What

(26:09):
do I do now? And my wife's a vegetarian, she's
an animal lover. I'm like, well, it's up to you.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
It's the dog's birthday.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
By the tail. Some people, you know, and there's probably
hardened people in the South Island were probably in the mouse.

Speaker 10 (26:24):
What would you do?

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't know. I probably stay on the radio conscience now,
you know. So I was like, she's like, I can't
kill that.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
I'm like, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
I said, we'll release it. And she's like, oh, I'm worried.
If I'm going to release that too close to the house,
I'll just come back and side again. I'm like, we'll
take it up the roads. And then my wife was like,
but then it's away from its family.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
What are you calling me?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'll give you three options right now. The first one,
no one's keen to the in the mouse's life. Then
I'm like release it. And then and now she's started
thinking about the mouse is the consequences of the mouse
being away from its family.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
So in the end, I think she.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Took it like halfway between, like a little bit up
the road, but enough that the mouse could find its
way back.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
It'd be like a Disney tail and adventure.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, and then released it back.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
But how do you know the mouse is? We don't
know family we were located exactly? Do they all live
together as a family?

Speaker 5 (27:16):
I donate it was a baby mouse. Yeah, probably jump
to a lot of conclusions on the did you I
was worried your cat was just going to find it again.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
It hasn't come back into the into the house. The
mouse is not back into the house yet, but I'll
keep you updated as well. It was quite a cute
little mouse from the video. But yeah, so it's still
live well as of Saturday morning.

traveling around the country in the North Island and the
South Island and making your nevers come true thanks to
gas picture service stations. It was a lot of fun it.
We had some more wonderful people, did some really ridic
cool things. It was a full on week. They're looking
back on it.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
I was very accommodating everywhere we went, yes.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Meeting even things that we hadn't organized. We just to
show up, like punting on the Aven We're like can
we do this? I like, yeah, sure, and including this
attraction and Funada, We're just I always wanted to go
there because I often stop off next to it to
see my mom on the way to see my mom,
and I was like, there's the Claphams National Clock Museum.
It's just sitting there, probably.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
New Zealand's only clock museum. So this is what we
want to open on our eight hundred hits. The niche
tourist attractions that you.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Have visited and We've got some beauties, don't We've got
the old bra fence, bokatrona defence. But now at some
point it was just one some visionary hero who left
a single bra on there.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
Yeah, what's the story behind the first bra?

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Because then you're Joe passed and you go, oh, someone's
lost their bra, which is unusual in any case.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
And I think it got stopped too the one stage
they took it down and then because people are like, oh, yeah,
can I'll be doing this, But then everyone complained and
we're like, hang on, no, this is great, bring it back.
And I think there is some sort of breast cancer
tie into it now as well, which is awesome.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
But yeah, if you saw one loan bra, you were
the person.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
That was like, would you go, oh, your first initiative
has take off your bra and head to the collection?

Speaker 5 (42:07):
Probably not, because they're expensive and I want to keep
it on.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
Shout out to the second, third, and fourth people. Yeah,
they're they're real heroes.

Speaker 9 (42:15):
Don't know.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
If you saw a pair of underpants dangling off a wife,
first thing you do whip them off an edit to
the collections.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
But plenty of shoes in my neighborhood over the wives.
And they don't ever throw my shoes out there. You know,
maybe someone's trying to start a shoe that's yeah, but yeah,

the walls behind you that has the only one.

Speaker 6 (42:52):
Clock at how many clocks are here?

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Fifteen hundred clocks and only one clock tells the correct time?

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Because we're going to say, Darlight Savings was a couple
of weeks ago, so you don't have to go through
and change every clock at home.

Speaker 6 (43:05):
I have on the wall a Mickey Mouse clock with
the Mickey Mouse hands.
