your good name over and things got a whole lot worse.

It did called your mom.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
You expected her to corroborate, and.

If you expect anyone to corroborate, it's your mother, right,
she made things a whole lot worse.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Not now there's there's accusations of a two tree peg incidents.
I was just think of what, like, you shouldn't have
called your mum because before that were maybe you did it,
maybe he did it, But now we're thinking, well, he
definitely did it twice. How many other people did you
pee on?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
So innocent and like gentle in her delivery of like
this scandalous story.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
You know you're a parent. You're a parent. I mean
if your kids peeing on people from a tree and
knowing about it, Like.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
How do you do?

You're like, oh god, love let them down?

Yeah, you put that on your parenting.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, I'd be like, guys, come on my kids.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Also, you had a pretty embarrassing situation as well.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah I did. Actually, yeah I can't. Last night. Wasn't
the kid to be honest? Weird hug?

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah that scale of peeing too. Yeah, he's pretty light. Yeah,
all right, we'll learn into the podcast. It's a friend
used today unintentionally, an old primary school friend. That's a
surreal experience. Someone you haven't seen for probably since I
was like eight or nine years old. Wow, have you
bummed into anyone from primary school recently?

Speaker 6 (01:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, only no, only the flatmate whom were with a
historian Palmas the North that we had of someone that
used to go to schoolar Oh yeah, it's like yeah
my flatmate And I was like, yeah, mum, there was
a score with or something.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
A twenty one year old who was working for the
hit since she's yeah, it came up to me. Hey,
my flatmates mum used to go to school with you.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
My god, you're on that relationship.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeap o, No, let's not talking about it right now,
master relationship.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
It's tight bloodline down there. So anyway, I got talking
to Cam and it was lovely to see him, and
he obviously just boom. You start reminiscing doing it instantly
and how the parents darted Da da, And he's like,
I have to ask you, do you remember the tree
climbing incident? And I was like, no, what incident?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Anyone's like, do you remember an incident?

Speaker 4 (02:43):
And for the life of me, can't remember any tree
climbing incident. But it was stuck with him over the years.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, you obviously can't because I've been working with you
on tis any story you would have told it ninety
seven times, I would know the story.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
So he's gone, we're over at your house and we
went on a tree climbing expedition quite a big tree.
Now I was the syiade in the situation. He was
the supertendsing okay, I was leading the.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Leading the expedition.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
He told him, or is that how you're.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Telling this is how I'm retelling. So I'm at the
leading at the top of the tree. He's underneath, and
he's like, at one point I felt like it was raining,
and is this what he was saying? He said yeah,
and he said there were drops.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Landing on me.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
And he's like, I looked up and urinating on me.
You were urinating on me? And I was like really,
He's like, yeah, and my grandmother had just letted me
a brand new jersey and threw him off the expedition,
the friendship on the tree.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
No one seen him.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Slipped on the tree, branch caught and it ripped his
newness and from his grandmother. And I'm like, I have
no recolaions A. He's like, call your mom, Call your
mum and she'll know because she had to do she
had tidy up, you know, she tried red the jersey,
had to give Cameron a shower. Now I'm like, for

(04:13):
the last twenty foe hours, I'm like, why can I
not remember this? Because urinating on someone in the field
like quite a personal moment.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Maybe you did it so much that you're just like, oh,
it was.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Just another day.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
So many jokes.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
The only thing I can think of is I was
quite a laughy kid, and sometimes the laughter would get
too much for me.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
It doesn't seem like that.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
It doesn't seem like actually it feels like everything was
out and you were going you know. It doesn't feel
like you be going to your pants. He wouldn't have
got anything on you, you know, just seeps through. Obviously
definitely did you ask your mom?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
No, I could cool it actually pushing down to the pool.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Oh geez, thes that John wan Ben podcasts.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
No, we're just trying to get to the bottom of
a story. John is recounted well gotten told.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
To him, Yeah, yesterday by lovely guy cam home in
primary school. So we're very tight and til an incident
took place, so I have no recollection of his would
have been about six seven, eight years old. And he
claims that we're on a tree climbing expedition. I was
at the top of the tree, he was underneath me,
and golden shell has rained down upon him, and that

(05:24):
my from me, I was the source of the golden shell.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Non contentual.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Doesn't surprise you, knowing John O now and then think
of it as the candidest does not surprise me at
all at all.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
No part of the story that.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Makes me think that he made me say, would I
ever why would he make this up?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Though?

Speaker 4 (05:40):
But exactly well, exactly accident.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
It might have an accident, Yeah, and I feel like
to get to you anyway. Yeah, if it's raining down
on you like you're pinging your pants, that's not definitely
raining down through.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
It might seep eventually. But you're right, So I'm was
and I'm not saying he's lying because there's too much
detail in the story to be for him to fabricate it.
And it feels like in that instance, if you've got
person A person B person is the creator of the shower,
they're probably more likely to forget about the incident.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, it was real victim.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
But he said you need to ask your mum Annie,
because Annie then had to fix his grandma's sweater, which would.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Lead me to believe he's not lying because he's like,
you ask someone else.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
He wants to follow up on it. Now. Your mum's
not great with answering your phone.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
No, this is a bit of a gamble live on
the radio. She's probably not yourn answer. They sleeping too.
They don't get up to bed till like nine thirty
just might be waking her up.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hi, Hi, how are you?

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Mum?

Speaker 8 (06:37):
God, thanks very much.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Sorry, listen, we're live. We're live at the moment Anni,
which I know you love now Mum. Just wanting to Cameron,
who I said that I bummed into went to primary schoolers.
He told me, he told me a story and he
told me that I needed to call you to clarify.

Speaker 9 (06:59):
Oh my goodnes.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Okay, so he's he's HARKing back to I would have
been seven or eight. He remembers a tree climbing incident.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
Right.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
I was on the top of the tree. He was
underneath the tree. He claims that I urinated on him
and this caused him to you know, obviously any persons
in the case. He was a bit rattled. He fell
off the tree. The branch hooked into his newly knitted
jersey that his grandmother had just made him.

Speaker 8 (07:27):
Gracious and and.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
He said, ask you Mum, she'll remember it all.

Speaker 8 (07:34):
Oh, it sounds terrible, but I don't. Well, God bless Cameron.
I can remember you paying on your cousin Nikola.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
So you can't put a bar like his peg on people.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
You know, I would be what was the alchemy, accidental
through theola.

Speaker 8 (08:09):
When we were down on the farm and during the
Christmas holidays you and Stuart were up in the tree.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
And see the history of tree Peg.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Is he What is wrong with you?

Speaker 8 (08:20):
John? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
And he was intentional?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yes, so you couldn't put a past of that. What
sort of sick.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Any thank you? I mean it probably explains a lot
about how tuned hour as an adult.

Speaker 8 (08:41):
Yes, well, it was great to see what a great
thing to happen to see Cameron and we saw television
television last last night as well, how successful he is.
But no, I don't remember that. That sounds just horrific.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Hey, connecting the dots now.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
You've made my years.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Get cousin Nichola on the side.

Speaker 5 (09:07):

go fight. No, we're not talking to check it down.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
But the hits that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Hey, you're getting into the Christmas spirit. You always say
it as of the first but I feel like you've
gone too early.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
But anyway, you go, I give you your Halloween and
then straight afterwards, I'm like, right, Christmas, it's happening. It's on.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
So you're already on the you're already on the kmart website.
You're doing your shopping for presents.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, I've got a list of started doing my Christmas shopping.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
But then I was I don't know why, shut.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Up anyway, continue on.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Geek geek, you're right, Nerd Burger.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
No, I don't know why, but I was on. They
came up website and I scrolled down to look at reviews,
which I can never do.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
They're quite handed, the old product reviews, because you know,
people are brutally honest because there's no they have no repercussion.
They can go under a fake alias, and they you know,
generally I find them quite useful.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, I like to use them if you're traveling somewhere
and you know you're going into a hotel.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
But then I find that a lot of people don't
like most.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Things the internet.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
You're like, oh, this looks great the pictures, and you
go down you're like, oh, well, a whole lot of
people don't like this one or this one.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
You know, like sometimes read the like two star reviews
and it's just like, oh, that person's like winging about
the most stupid thing. Yeah, it sounds like really pretty good.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Like did you expect a five star hotel on like
a three star budget?

Speaker 4 (10:49):
No, you know, but you're staying at the It is
what it is exactly.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
So this was a kid's toy, and I was like,
I'm just going to read what people thought of it,
like it had a few reviews, and Kimmy, I don't
know wish from or anything, but she was obviously having
a bit of a bad time.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Did she have good things to say about the toy?

Speaker 3 (11:09):
So she gave it five stars. Kimmy loved the toy,
but she wasn't having a great time family wise. She said,
I got this from a nephew's third birthday. It was
his favorite toy of the day, Which is the best
when you're there and they are opening all the toys
and that's the one that the kid loves.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Won Do you say nothing out loud but.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Everyone knows, So that obviously happened to Kimmy goes on
and says, pity, my sister is a CEE. You next
Tuesday and didn't thank me or let us see him,
but I'm glad that he enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Oh, so she's taking her family to the five stars.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
For the toys zero stars for my sister, that is,
that is a wonderful place to get her. She's killing
a couple of killing two birds with one staying this
yeahing product for you and also getting something personal off
your chest.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
And I was gun and I couldn't reply and be like,
tell me everything came closure.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
This is the thing. Can you not reply to these
people came out?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Probably can? It's not really for him.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Is it.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
It's an amazing mirror. It makes me look like I
can almost stand my mother in law something like that.
You can have a little passive aggressive digs in the
product because you can't say it to the people. And
this seems like a good platform to get personal issues
off and.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
The chances of them finding out a very very We
kept reading them out in the radio.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
So there you go, Tom something in this real dog
leaguing the old feedback there from Camie though you know.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Toy five stars, nothing against came out.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah, the hits that JOHNA and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Now we're talking about pet Peeves. This morning. I feel
like I've banged on quite a lot about a laptop.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
This week, that it's still got some good milergy out
of it. Yeah it was a week ago today. You
like your laptop was destroyed in water for water based reasons,
wasn't it?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah? A drink a drink bottle that leaked from my daughter.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
So your new one in front of you.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
You're gotting your laptop, the old one. Can I fix
the one? Still? Wait and find out to be honest,
so you'd be glad.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
You have a pek con and you opted for Blake.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
This it was all about the size of I wanted.
Didn't care what color was.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Bigger hard drive, the biggest hard drive. You can imagine.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Size doesn't matter. That's all I wanted.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
But what I would like to say, and I want
to throw things at you know, start the pit Peeve
conversation rolling is that when you get a new laptop
and I've had another laptops, So why does the charger
have to be different from the last laptop? Because I
was like, great, even if my old laptops did, I've
got the charger. I've got the charger, I have two charges.
And then I get this new laptop and Apple have

(13:46):
changed the charger.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
I think we've got three Apple laptops, but three different
charges between the three of us in here. So we
can't even share.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Wild bigger issues going on in the world.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
But I can't think of if I had a dollar
for every Apple charger I've had, I would have enough
money to buy another Apple charger. How many of you
you're right?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
The phone.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
I think they made it law in Europe, didn't they,
in regards to the phone charges.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
They're like, guys, it needs to be the same.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
The government's over there, like this is the EU stupid,
this is out of control.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
So I think there's a pet peeve of mine that
just have the same charger for everything, for all computers,
just have the phone, same charger.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
That'd be great.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Well, maybe you've reached the age of cantankerous old man.
The things start to just annoy little things annoy you
for no reason, like you Grant wonderful. He doesn't annoy me,
But he's a wonderful person.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, no, I just don't. I'm not saying that about
any celebrity.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
He comes across quite grumpy.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
So that's why I was like, maybe he's not a
wonderful person, but I like that about him.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
I love and he's very charismatic and his grumpiness. He
reminds me of host Gang. Yeah, very charismatic and his grumpiness.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Now, he was just asking you a few things that
annoy him. This is just him off the cuff, just
wrappling off a list of things that any.

Speaker 10 (15:03):
One enormous pet peeve. That's all I do. I walk
around the streets peeving. I don't like people walking slowly.
I don't like people with backpacks. I don't like people
with backpacks on their front. I don't like people with backpacks.
And water bottles. I don't like water bottles. What's the
whole water bottle thing? Why do my children have to
go to school with the water? They have to cart
water across London? What's wrong with a drinking fountain? I mean,

(15:23):
don't get me started. Or I don't like leaf blowers,
roadworks with no people working on them.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
And it goes on, it goes on.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
I just want to get them started.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
It just shouldn't go out in public.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, when you're reaching that stage was a good one.
I hate if my kid didn't cut a water bottle
across you know town in New Zealand. My laptop would
still be going. So maybe he grounds onto something.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
So the hets, what's what's the pit peeving?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
What are you about?

Speaker 11 (15:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:51):
What are you peeving about? Me Gan?

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Beer feet and public? I know, like, don't I hate
people wearing beerf feet in public? I know that that's
a key we thing. Don't don't look at me like that. Really,
put some shoes on of handles on.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Okkay. So you're on the beach side town. Can you
go to the supermarket and.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Deary yuck?

Speaker 1 (16:11):

the beach, yeah, right.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
About walking to the beach that be feet?

money off us by buying more chart. I don't know,

one wants to talk to you. Your phone a customer
service line, yep. And the last thing they want to
give you a service. No one wants to service customers nowadays,
and it's fine, but they need to just close the
other customer service line.

phone number for a website. You're I just want to
call somebody. I just want to talk you, like, can't

Was, of course our Halloween.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
It was awesome to see lots of people out of
the It's particularly all over town last night.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
And about trickle treating, how.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Many characters turn up to your house while we're out
for the whole evening.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Did you live a bowl?

Speaker 8 (25:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
We dad, but you know you never know how that's
how long that's going to take?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
You lift a bowl of carrots six and hummers.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
I saw some fint that someone had left cigarettes overseas.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Take one to take one or have a have a
puffin and leave some of the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I think it was obviously clearly a gag.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
But my issuers too. They come to the gates or
you know, they come to your door or what and
then they go trick or treat and then you just
automatically go he agreeb what you want out of the box.
There's no follow up, there's no like, okay, give us
your trick. Do you ever ask for the trick?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Well, if you have the treat, then you you need
to choose the trick. That's me, that's or trend.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
But and then they just to do a trick, then
you should give them a treat. Shut the door in
their face.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Kids need to learn, that's right. You don't give track
on the track part. Do you want to save LOLLI?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, just ask for tricks all night long.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Now we got thinking about Halloween and you know, ghost
stories something that we as often talked about around Halloween,
and John and I were talking about one time when
we're on the Edge radio station before we're hear it
at the Hurts Radio station and we had a meeting.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
It was Halloween time.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
We had a meeting before the show and we were
like trying to think of different angles for Halloween, and
I think we were like, well, what about someone that
maybe had had a relationship with the ghosts?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Would there be anyone listening right now? Now?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Boss was like, no, this is the you know, there's
no one going to be calling up about this. And
I was even dubious. I was like, we're really narrowing
it down to very few people.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
I think it was label to waste time. Yeah, and
then and then this lady phones through. Have a listen
to her interaction with her. Well a former boyfriend and
simone you made out of the ghost.

Speaker 9 (27:00):
Yes, I was in a long term relationship and then
unfortunately he passed away.

Speaker 15 (27:09):
But yeah, me every now and then and it's me finish.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
She wow, yeah, and you can see him not no,
but he's.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
There, and so do you kiss him back as your
tongue like.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Going, no, he's not kissing. It's just like just.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Like just what he's there.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Ah, well, thank you for sharing that with us.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
So you too, you too, you be a non believer,
shocked you boked me?

Speaker 1 (27:40):
So yeah, don't know, looking confident, arrogantly confident, you make
me this is is a real one.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
I thought it was my first one ever. And so
then they went. They made international news, huge all.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Around the place.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
A woman's sleeping.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
With her yeahil u k went to the US you
do the United States news.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Over the years, Harp handed out with everywhere like that.
We were, you know, going out, you know, particularly John
glowed to the boss straight away. He was like, hear this, Yeah,

Speaker 2 (28:09):
No one was going to call.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
I was booking organizing a ticket tape parade, and there's a.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Well yeah, we're everywhere. We're like, that's incredible.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
And then a couple of days later, our producer Dan
who's now on the Edge Breakfast show, then we'll be
He was like, hey, guys, look I was I was
quite worried that no one was going to call up
for that, so I organized someone from the office to
pretend and we're.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Like, what what.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
We've just been we've created fake news.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, I know how crazy it was.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
It was, but we had no idea were created. Fake
news went everywhere like.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
That Trumpet's been going on about.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
We wanted to enter it in radio wards and we're like, oh,
we can't because it's all just been made up.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
You have to retract it.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
I don't think we were like a dressed the fact
that we made it up. It's tad now, so we're.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Still going to take this to our grave. Wow, Hey listen,

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Producer, Alie, this is looking at you. If you got
anyone arrange for.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
This the Hits that Jonavan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Heading into the weekends. Thanks for hanging out with us.
And one of the big big stories in New Zealand
over the last couple of weeks has been the new
football team, the Auckland FC.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
Yeah, and a big game this weekend, the big local
game happening and we're joined by Nick Becker, the big
boss of Auckland f C.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
How are you very well, very well, great to have
you back at again.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Now we spoke to you like a few weeks ago,
was before the season, the Auckland f C. And now
two games and you must be just stoked with how
it's been so far.

Speaker 19 (29:49):
Absolutely, we couldn't have we couldn't have scripted a better start. Really,
you know, sort of two wins at home nearly forty
thousan over two weekends has been really special.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
The fans have been amazing.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yes, we keep saying, it's like the team has been
around for a long time. Like everyone's singing, there's the
everyone's got merch on. It just feels like it's been
a club that's been around forever.

Speaker 19 (30:08):
The merch blows away, the kids blow me away, right,
the families that are there and the kids all wearing
our shirts. It's so special. So it does feel like
we've been around for a bit longer than just two rounds.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Now, a big game this week, the local, the local Derby, Derby,
never know Derby.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Now, there was a bit, you know, there was a
plane flowing around and it was like you to say
something about New Zealander's yellow for the Phoenix.

Speaker 19 (30:33):
Phoe Yeah yeah, yeah, see next Tuesday. I know it's Saturday.
It's good. You've got to and you want a bit
of tribalism, you want to have that banter. And I
think it's really it's really important for game. I think
the Kiwi football fans that they are up for it

(30:54):
and they really like that there's that friendly band thing
that's going on, which is really nice.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
So this one and Wellington of course is the one
later in the season back.

Speaker 19 (31:01):
Two more so than one back in Orghans on the
seventh of December. It's already pretty much half sold out.
So that's one to get your tickets for now.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
Now we've read an article from a colleague of ours, Patrick.
Have you read Patrick Gwal's article Petty Girls read articles.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Saying a bit sassy?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
He's proud well and Tony.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
O, Yeah, we're gonna go. We're gonna get Petty Gas
an answer.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
But he's like, here's the headline here that an a
quite fake the Phoenix and New Zealand's real pro football class.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Let's get on.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Well, the answer I don't know this is he doesn't
know we're calling.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
It's like the Phoenix have been around for these multiple years,
seventeen years.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
And he said these guys can't just come come rolling
in here and take all the glory.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
He penn Meghan from the hats.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Oh hey, guys, I'm driving like bloody.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Haven't had a TV show for thanks.

Speaker 18 (31:58):
That was my joke that TV show.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
I was piggybacking.

Speaker 18 (32:03):
I can't talk though, I don't have one.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Either, Patty. We've read your peace, we've read your piece
on Auckland f C. And we have a surprise for you.
Nick Becker, CEO of Auckland f.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
C, is with us in the studio.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Patty.

Speaker 13 (32:16):
How you doing.

Speaker 18 (32:18):
Oh so yes, Nick, I'm really good and I hope
you taking my criticism constructively.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
You are, you know, and I don't. I don't want
to be rough.

Speaker 12 (32:28):
But you know here in black and white that Auckland
f C is a semi fake football football club in
New Zealand, and that is these.

Speaker 19 (32:40):
Are fighting words, the big words, Patty, So prove it.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
Nick.

Speaker 18 (32:45):
I don't want to have a fight with you, understand.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
We know that you're sparkling up some rivalry, Patty, But
I love that about the fact that the port you're
sayings caught the port, the fans of the port, but
you're saying, well, the locations and penrose as far away
from the water as possible.

Speaker 19 (33:00):
It's more conceptual, Patty than that. You've got to open
your mind up. You're clearly like a sort of a
one eyed provincials thinker here.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
I needed to be a bit more creative, Petty.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
Come on, I personally know some people who are members
of the Port, and I won't name them on here,
but they have never been to a port in their life.

Speaker 19 (33:22):
Conceptually, though, the Port welcomes everything everyone, and that's what
we are.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
We're inclusive club.

Speaker 19 (33:29):
It doesn't matter if you're in Penrose, we're at the Port, Patty,
You're you're welcome.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Pedny, something like why you're on there.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Petty also says about the Port's chance, which I thought
are great, sounded suspiciously to him like they've been made
by chat GPT.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Now do you know for a fact if they have
been or not.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
I don't know that for a fact.

Speaker 19 (33:45):
But like we embrace AI like we're future thinking, we're
not stuck in the past. We innovate, we look for it.
We're leaving behind the other team in this country. We're
in the future baby.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
Now, Paddy, and the Port is.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Probably it's probably a redundant question to ask you, but
what you what you picked this weekend.

Speaker 18 (34:13):
It looks fantastic and religent.

Speaker 19 (34:19):
I want to I want to put it out to
Paddy if we get him back, if we can just
put it there as if it is three nil, fine
will take that and and and he can he can,
he can choose his win. But if it isn't, I say,
Paddy has to be in the port at the December.

Speaker 7 (34:35):
In the port, the game in the port, mate, It's
not going to happen. So I'll go one better. I'll
go one better next. I wear an awkward deft sea jump.
But you can even put my name on the bank.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
There.

Speaker 18 (34:52):
You put my money with my mouth.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Okay, well either way, phone call Monday morning to your petty.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
All right, we'll the hits that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Of Scott of course, was at Eden Park a couple
of months ago, playing and twenty one noise complaints by residents,
even though it was all done by ten ten, twenty
minutes before the curfew.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
You guys are there, you're rowdy.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
It was loud, it was there, but it's gont Ian.
It's always loud. Do you'd be disappointed if it wasn't loud. Yeah?

Speaker 4 (35:21):
I just read that and someone was like the pictures
were rattling off my walls in the lounge. No, I
can't say they didn't happen. So they said they felt
like they were in an earthquake.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
The pirate technics looked full on.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, a lot of pirate.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Maybe it was that he blew.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
He blew a lot on fireworks and stuff. It was
a spectacle and a lot of a lot of dads
there on dad duty with all the young kids went there.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Did she get blue?

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Now? After the show? I was, I got home after show,
I was intrigued, you know, I was like, and when
does someone of this ilk of the celebrity, when do
they depart the country? Do they just want to get
out of there quickly?

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah, some of them do.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Way, they get it straight up to show on to
the point.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
We've been in Australia and I think New Zealand was
the last stop. So it probably does want to just
get home.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah, I get it. I mean, yeah, as much as
I'm sure he enjoys the gig, it's a job and
he's probably another night doing the job, so he probably
wants to get back to his family. So then I
hopped on to flight tracker app. Okay, now, this is
a celebrity private plane.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
How did you get onto that track it?

Speaker 4 (36:22):
App I think you've heard you talking about it, not
that you've been on it. And I think you've just
mentioned it because they always trying name and Shane Taylor
Swift for her giant carbon footprint about Yeah, and I'm thinking,
what's the alternative? Do you want a canoe around the
world and do a thirty year long world tour. Yeah,
she's got flyplaces, she's got a fight and she can't.
Yes too, Oh, she could go commercial. She's rich and famous,

(36:44):
but she's a better class of human being and she.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Is probably offsetting a carbon emissions. I don't even know
what that means. What do they do when they do that.
She's probably doing it.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Paying someone off, paying gritithon boot to.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Keep Cold Play the concert that's going to be here
in a few weeks time.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
You can actually help.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
You can get on these bikes and help, like help
with the electricity as well, if you want, you can
help mout.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Yeah, exercise bike is basically.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
There are some exercise bikes.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Apparently it's all part of that because they're really about
trying to minimize what they do and then they're like, oh, yeah,
you want to can play make it on a bike
a pound of lights for a bit.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
That is the most cold play thing you'll live here.
So then I get onto a celebrity private jet tracker,
which I thought in the first instance is a huge
invasion of these people's privacy.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
And that's when you stopped and you're like, oh, I
can't read you more.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
I'm not going to feed this beast. Ah No, no,
I was even more intrigued about what was happening. So
it's got every celebrity. Bill Gates, you want to know
what his plane's up to, his golf stream elon Musk
plane number one of four, what he's been doing, three
hundred and six flights tracked. But I'll go down to
p did he his golf stream even though he's locked up,

(37:53):
still flying around, he's still got a carbon foot print
of me. If something can make it more of a monster.
He's still ruining the environment inside prison. But what they
do is that we'll go click on Steven Spielberg's golf
stream for example. Example. Okay, and they really publicly name
and shame these people, do they know?

Speaker 1 (38:11):
I mean sometimes they maybe they weren't on the plane too.
Maybe do they know that.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah, they don't. They don't know who's on the p Yeah,
they know it's it might not be the person who
owns it.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
Yeah. So if we're taking guys, for example, he's not flying,
he's definitely not on the plate. Yeah, so Steven Spielberg,
we click on Steven Spielberg. For example, Stephen Spielberg's a
plane took off at Isley Airport. It odmitted more than
thirty metric tons of carbon dioxide, lasted close to seven hours.
The fight covered about three thy nine hundred flight miles

(38:42):
and required and burnt through three thousand, five hundred gallons
of jet fuel.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Do you reckon?

Speaker 4 (38:47):
They land and they're like, oh did you have? Did
you have? Okay, we're all ruined in the environment.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, they did that with people driving to work.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Tack on a website and old mate drive.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
Today, there's a lot of narks around, aren't they just
an ultimate knocking?

Speaker 4 (39:05):
So I will no longer be participating in celebrity.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
Flights the heads that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yesterday was Halloween trickle treating around the neighborhood. I went
with my kids. It's it's great to see everyone out
and about me.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
As an adult, do you collect the goods now, stand back.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Kind of hang out with lots of other adults dressed up,
which is pretty impressive to see what's coolin so EAPs
the streets and then everyone will go, oh, you need
to drive to the streets. So you go drive to
a few blocks over food carts on some streets.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
But whole street embraces you.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Put a pullpen on it.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Right, I did as we were driving home from picking
up the kids from daycare. I've got a three year
old and a two year old, which yep, it's as
bad as it sounds. Sometimes they are kicked off yesterday,
and so we were like, oh, the public doesn't need this.
I don't think they're adding sweets and costumes to this scenario.
So we're to like, yeah, yeah, did you.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
My wife and I we we because I wasn't allowed
I wasn't allowed to buy new costumes this year, so
I got someone's from the garage that you know work fine,
but you know.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Why though you're doing the whole patronizing voice, but you've
got a whole garage for you don't need your wife's.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
To feed costumes that anyone could ever imagine.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
My wife and I we wore we win as Ghostbusters.
We put on my Ghostbusters costumes that I had in
the garage of the great costumes. I like them, but
I have won them a few Halloweens ago.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
But you're like.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Me with like dresses and dresses. I'm like, I've done
them before.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
I've done this.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Do you think the costume critics are like, who wore that?
In twenty seventeen?

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Yeah, we're done, we're going. But it was quite fun
going out about.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
It was quite fun seeing kids as ghosts and then
as the ghost and you're like that, and some kids
would get the reference. Other kids would just be like,
oh my god, this.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Is scary, like trying and take the kids away.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Around the seventeen.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Yeah, it's very twenty seventeen.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
But I had a moment where because you know, you've
run into people like other friends of the kids, other
people you know, And there was a mother of one
of my daughter Andy's friends, and and my wife Amanda
knows you're a bit bitter than me, so they sort
of came up in the street embraced and stuff like that,
and I kind of had that moment. I was like, oh,
you know, a hugging situation or not. And I didn't
go for the hug, but you know, but they went

(41:14):
for hug. I did, and I was good to see you,
nice to see her. I was like, that's fine, and
it seemed fine. And then a few minutes later she
was sort of hanging around and she came up to
me and she sort of put her arms out and
I was like, oh.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
I was like, maybe she's thinking the same as me.
We should have gone for.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
Late.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
Oh, yeah, we should have hugged.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
And so I wired hug and she wed, oh, we
go for a hug. And that's when I.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Went he wasn't going for hug. She was going to
grab because I had the Ghostbusters. I had the you
know the Ghostbusters. They were they like a backpack situation
where they fire off. She was like, oh, I was
going to grab that just to feel what was made
out of because we dressed as Ghostbusters a few years
ago and we made our comes. And I'm like, oh,
but this is all the time while we're hugging, we're hugging,

(42:05):
we're having this conversation. I'm like, oh, well, I thought
you were going for a hug. And then I sort
of walked away and going, oh god, she was coming
to and I was like, maybe it was one arm.
Maybe it was just one arm, and I pulled. I
thought it was two arms.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
And I'm so glad you were thinking that too, because
I thought we should have hugged the.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
Heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Now, you had an interesting incident, you say, where you
were deep in a conversation and had no idea who
you're talking to.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Oh yeah, and it happens from time to time, doesn't
it where where you you have your chat. And I
was talking to some guy and he was like, well
at the start he was like, you know, it comes
over and I'm like hi, and you have that little thing.
You're like, I know this person and they're like you know.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
And then they.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Said they even said, I'm surprised you remember me, and
I'm like, of course I remember you.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
And I'm like please, oh yeah, double down.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Please don't.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
Some people go what's my name?

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Then, and we're from You're like, oh you're a monster.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
So funny You're like, oh you're a monster, and just
walk You're an absolute mon stuff.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
It was Halloween, so I could have said that.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Did you realize did you figure out who they were?

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
It feels like your brain is just you're having a conversation,
but your brain is just working over time. Everyone listening
would right now will be in that situation.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Your brain.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
It's like a filing you flicking through the files. You're
like no, no, You're putting.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
A million questions like how's work? Get like a little.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Finally I got it.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Finally I got narrowed down and in my head and
finally went, oh, this is how I know this person from.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
And then I feel like, once.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
You know, you almost make it too obvious that you know,
because you start really starting to get.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Deniche from a chartered accountant?

Speaker 1 (43:43):
How is the chartered accountants game going for you?

Speaker 4 (43:47):
You really want to ease they didn't fo back.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Into because you're so stoked that you finally get there.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
The worst thing is when your partner comes over, So
you don't know who this person is, and they come
over and they expect you to introduce. So I just
do the white eyes and I'm like, oh, have you
guys met introduce yourself? That means introduce yourself because I
don't know who I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
So he knows that signal Angel knows those panic ties
from you. Yeah, and he'll come in.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
And you know and yeah I remember.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
This, yeah, my man and my wife. Yeah, she knows
that if I don't, I've told her. If I don't
introduce you with her the first couple of seconds, I'm
so sorry?

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Did I not?

Speaker 5 (44:24):
You know?

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Yeah, it's all me looking like the idiots. She's quite
got to picking that up now, which is really hang
me out to.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
Have you ever been in that scenario where you're pretty
confident on the first half of someone's name, but not
the second half of their name, so you're just kind
of mumble, hey, there's a chasery.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Do you mean their last name or first.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
We met? We met a lovely lady named Shade, and
I was pretty sure her name was but I forget names.
So then I introduced to another person. I was like, oh,
this is.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
A show, just mumble it.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
Yeah, And then to them, this is what I'm thinking
of my here. I think they're going, oh they know
my name, they said the first.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
Half, thinking this guy's drunk half way through having a
medical event.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
Okay, so this is what we want to open up
one hundred hits four for eighty seven. What little social
arrangements have you got with your partner? Yeah, how do they?
How do they save your ass when you're deep in
it in a party work event? Do you have a phone?
Some people are those friends that phone them if they're
on a date. Yes, have you got one of them?

Speaker 3 (45:34):
I'm that friend.

Speaker 8 (45:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (45:37):
You talk about this that jhonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
Yes, they spent how many minutes talking to someone trying
to figure out who they were? And then when did
the penny drop?

Speaker 11 (45:46):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Yeah, it was probably well it felt like three or
four minutes into the conversation. Yeah, but probably it probably
wasn't quite as long as that. But you know, you're
your brain's just like you're having that small talk. It's
like boxing at the start, you know, when the box
is sort of just just just do you ever? No
one's fully committing, you know.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Just like how's the kids, how's the family? At the time,
you're like, oh, I do love this.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
The other day, do you love it? You've been busy?
That can reveal a lot about a person. You've been busy?

Speaker 2 (46:14):
How's things with you?

Speaker 8 (46:15):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Yeah, you know, just questions that don't really have Yeah,
to hopefully lead them down there.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
And I got it. I got that. I got there
eventually do you know.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
Uh and this is going to be the ultimate names.
Dear friend of us done the Rock Johnson? Have you
heard of Jaine the Rock Johnson?

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Yeah, great familiar little up and.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Coming movie star. We had done something on Zoom with him,
and then it was a few months later we did
an interview with him. He had a great, great line
which I think everyone could use, remind me where we
know each other from?

Speaker 8 (46:47):
Again? Is it not?

Speaker 3 (46:49):
But that just that just is a nice way of
saying I don't know you.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
But that's great.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
But he was like, hey, so you like you're like,
I know you?

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Yeah, where do we meet a kid?

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Like one of those I mean, there's certain types of
people you can do that with. I mean, not like
your neighbor remind me?

Speaker 3 (47:04):
And also you can forgive the Rock because you know
that he meets Yeah, ye remind me.

Speaker 2 (47:09):

your show.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah, that's right, that's all you know from I got
to see it again. Now you've got you've got a
little tip for us.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
What is that?

Speaker 16 (47:40):
Yeah, I'm terrible with me. Well, so normally when my
wife is with me and I don't just the person,
she can't remember the person's names. She will then introduce
herself and the other person will introduced himself and I
would be like, oh, I thought you guys submit before
as well.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
It's a great it's a good little done. I thought
you guys put it on yourself.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
You're like, oh now the ultimate wing woman.

Speaker 16 (48:08):
Yeah, yeah, she's great. Yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
It's terrible if you ever get divorced, though, isn't it
around by yourself?

Speaker 16 (48:18):
That's not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (48:20):
Go on, you g going to have a wonderful weekend now,
you see, Megan. That's something interesting those situations where you
hear about people on dates and they've got their friend
who phones halfway through the date.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Yeah, my my best friends still dating. That sounded like
I was shaming her. She like is on the dating
apps and stuff. So she we have a rule. She
has to tell me when no date is where she's
going and like any details about the person, and then
she calls me if she needs to get out of it.
But you asked me what I say?

Speaker 4 (48:46):
What do you say?

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Say?

Speaker 8 (48:47):
An?

Speaker 3 (48:47):
I'm just like, hey, how's it going? Like my banter
is completely different to her banter. It's like two separate calls.
So I'd be like, oh is he is he awful?
And she's like, oh my god?

Speaker 5 (48:57):
What?

Speaker 3 (48:57):
And I'm like it's that bad? Is it? She's like,
are you serious?

Speaker 8 (49:01):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Yeah, I'm help her.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
The role play, help her out.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Just completely separate conversations.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
You're like, oh my god, I've just slipped and fall,
and she'd.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Brings next over when you come do I have to
come down?

Speaker 4 (49:18):
You performance is not going to reflect on the mat.

Got a great performance?

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Who on the other side of the tables like I
can't see obviously.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Doing a great job.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
The next was Halloween trick or training yesterday, and I
managed to make something awkward.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
It's rising knowing me I did actually on something. Okay,
I didn't do it, John, Okay.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
The Heads that John and Ben podcasts.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
The first of November, which is the day that Megan
Will starts to thank Christmas.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
E right, yeah, well, I'm usually put up first of November.
It's probably gonna happen tomorrow. Disclaimer, but like Halloween's out
of the way, We're only a few weeks away from Christmas,
so I like to milk it.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
We've been talking about an idea about a Christmas song
that we're going to bring up to speed with her.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
This could be right.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
Ye, it's a game everyone can play. I don't know
why be so secretive about it, as was mentioned it
now all I want for Christmas, right the Mariah Carey's.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
Just gone early. He's got launch on Monday.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
But we're going to see it with Megan getting ready
about Christmas.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
But anyway, this is a seeding part.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Of that meeting and the conversation like moments ago.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, I'll back out now.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
It's a very excited game.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Tell you more about evolving wantrime time involving Yeah, we'll
tell you time.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Friday.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, now Halloween before.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
We you know, move on from Halloween because I know
you've given me my chance to talk about Halloween.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
They have my fun and now you're on the Christmas.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Right, Christmas has launched people I.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
Just wanted to know and four four eight seven on
the text and was there anything last night if your
kids went trick or treating a random item that they
were given. Because some people, you like, you're really thrown
them out. Some people are well prepared for trick or treators,
and other people were like, and.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
That instance, they just need to go hands in the air.
I'm sorry, I completely forgot move on.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Yeah, And I mean that you usually know, like my
my kids and a lot of other kids, like if
they haven't got cob webs.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
And things out the front of the gate, they're not
going anywhere near the house.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
It's a sure sign.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Yeah, it's like you're not knocking on.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
But back in the day, not not literal cobwebs too,
because that's the one day of the year they do
become topical.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
They need to be like look sharp cob webs. Yeah,
you're like this person, this house is into Halloween.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Halloween friendly.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Otherwise you're like, well, you're just going to end up
annoying someone. But you know, like because I mean back
of the day, going around Marston and it wasn't a
big thing, but when me and my sister my friends
would do it, we were kind of like felt like
the pioneers of Marstard and going around bringing.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
A claim to trick treating and mastertons.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Well, I feel like we were one of the first
early adopters.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Shall we say likewe.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
I just like and this would really throw people out.
I gonna we're gonna fect you got. We didn't have
the cob web system back there, because people it was
early days of Halloween, you know, you know where you
go the cobs out the.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
Front, roll winch dangling off a tree or something like that.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
We were just we just go up door to door
like Jehovah's give me one ground hit bestrick everyone.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
Did you explain to them what the times were.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Like, hey, we're yeah, we're doing a trickle treat. It's
people would some people very rattled. We got all sorts
of like get packets of biscuits, would be allowed to
take one, and I got pananole from one house. I
was like, I don't know if you should be getting
some coins for another house. That was all sorts of
just random. They're just to be feared of these people.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
They's just getting the heat and mastering around the concept.
We just got the meeting from the house. Some connies.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Yeah, yeah, but I feel like maybe it's continued because
last night friend of mine, her young daughter, came home
with her little you know, sometimes you buy ham from
the supermarket and it's little packets.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
You kind of rip off the little packets.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
And you get a few, I like the beehive one.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
She got like a pack of maybe twelve. But it's
the ham inside. Oh, just one little there's one pottle,
it's little bottle.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Obviously they didn't give it the twin pack.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
No, just half of the twin pack.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Ham would be sitting room temperature by the time it's
back home too.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Yeah, so really, I mean, you know, this is Ham's
delicious and not not a cheap item, you know, like
it's probably a few dollars for that.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
So yeah, it's definitely someone doing a panic scrambled through
their household.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
But yeah, so four and pandoles though, Yeah, yeah right,
I don't think it can be hanging handing out medication
like that.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
Before the heads that Johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
Lovely to have you with us, Thank you for joining us. Now.
Over the last week and a half, maybe two weeks,
we've been playing a game called Bandle, which Ben has
since day two three of the game being publicly against.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Oh no, I mean I enjoyed listening to her, but
that's all I even did was listening to it.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
It was I found it very hard.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
Yeah, so it's trying to cipher a song just from
like listening to the drums, and then they add more
instruments as you went on.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
And disturbed me by that one.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
I started playing it again. I was like, I had
no idea what that song was, and I.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Was used today you lobbed he lobbied the campaign to
bring back the Herald quiz.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
I just said, and I put it out there on
the text. I was like, is it too hard?

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Is anyone else finding apart from Megan, who does a
wonderful job about there's anyone else getting any of these?

Speaker 2 (54:34):
And dicks came through. Everyone's like, I'm not with you.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
Being essentially what happened has been sucked at it. So
he flipped the monopoly bored and doesn't want to play anymore.
There was one person.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
There was a couple of texts.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Everybody said they don't want to play.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Well that was everybody that text.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
I didn't get a single text going hey keep this game,
you love it, which was an option I could go
on two texts that the people.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
I'm happy to carry on with that if you want.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
No, I just found it very hard. It was difficult.
So that being said, one hundred percent of the votes.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Trump would be happy with those numbers, would he?

Speaker 4 (55:19):
And producer Ally's back in the studio with the New
Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. There's ten questions on the New
Zealand Herald dot go on in the mission. Well, it's
pretty simple. I won't man explain it.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Here we go, alright, question one of the New Zealand
Herald quaers this morning on November which country is the
largest producer of petrol? Is it the US, Russia or
Saudi Arabia?

Speaker 4 (55:40):
It's Russia. Pretty sure it's Russia because there was a
threat because Putin's like, you guys, annoy me, I'm going
to do this. Yeah, that's why even doesn't play that
hard a ball with Putin.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Interesting, Okay, yeah, I thought along those lines. But John
is very confident, so let's go. Let's go with it.
I mean, it's ever let us down in the past,
so it's going with John's confidence.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
We're going with confidence.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
That is incorrect.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
That's actually you is. Yeah, either well, there we go.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
We'll be back to Bandal on Monday because we I mean,
obviously you can keep playing the game if you just
end the show. There is ten questions, but our rules
are that if we get one wrong, we're oute.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
So I came in here way more fun than Mandal.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
But what we've learned is say, yeah, we're learning something.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Tell that at a party this week.

Speaker 5 (56:39):
The Hats that John and Ben podcast, Who's having the
best weekends?

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Joining us from the Hats and the South Islander's coin
Afron Hats in the North Islander's Hailey, good morning, how
you doing?

Speaker 15 (56:52):
Good morning?

Speaker 4 (56:52):
How are you good? Listen, We've just lost Connor because
I can't conference call.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
That's all right, We'll start with Haley.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
Then this is an issue that no one else needs
to care about it. It's like apartheid in South Africa.
You two can't be on the same line at the
same time. It's how vicious this rivalry is between the
North and South.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
Or Haley, what is happening in the North this weekend?
What some of the big bangers that we can look
forward to?

Speaker 15 (57:14):
This is like my dream weekend for my inner country girl.
Because we have got amp shows season it is well
and truly kicked off. So this weekend we've got the
anti show from one or two. We've got the White
and Upper Hamilton as well, and it's basically you've read
agricultural dream. There's going to be sharing sheet competitions. That's
some Auntie Karen's going to try win a red metal

(57:36):
with a strawberry jam. It's a light happening snow cones.
Maybe just a classically event happening all up the North Island.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
Could you let the farmers have a good knack of
when you talk to a farmer. I'm not saying much
for making a conversation last forty five minutes long.

Speaker 15 (57:55):
At least you get talking about sheet dagging or things
like that. Then they can go for a while.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
Yeah, tractors will be some tractors there.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Lots of fun, all right, Well, what else is this
city guy.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
At the snow cone truck exactly? That's that's my place,
someone else in the North Ay.

Speaker 15 (58:14):
And then we've got another thing, which is my dream,
a canting expo.

Speaker 9 (58:18):
So this is super cool.

Speaker 15 (58:19):
This happens once a year. It's an awtucky on the
Carpety coast and they have got a huge field, huge
amount of tints, all on display. Can go actually see
one before you want to buy it. They've got all
the latest gadgets, live music, torches, sleeping bags, everything on display.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
I saw a friend of mine, we actually went camping
over the weekend and they bought the PlayStation five.

Speaker 5 (58:47):
Was like.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
A great set up, but just stay at home, thought
your knee.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
I mean, I was like, great, I'd be all for it.
But it was a running off a generator.

Speaker 4 (59:01):
I don't know how they were running it.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
They were at a campground, so maybe they're running off
the power. So yeah, but they were at TV in
a play station five.

Speaker 4 (59:10):
It's almost not worth Haley is as we all know,
and as the nation cares about the conference facility not
working right now on the phone system. So I'll put
you back on hold and if you win, we'll come
back to you. Connor, welcome back from the United States.
He went on a holiday.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Sure, come out with an accent, came back into the
hit studio, and we left a little gift for you,
hadn't we Connor?

Speaker 12 (59:33):
Yeah, two christ helicopter hats day.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
You're very welcome when you can have two, right, And
he's only got one hit?

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Yeah, well, we had a wonderful time with the christ telicopter.
We missed you when you're in Christ Chats. They kind
of gave us some hats and we thought, who would
like two of these hats?

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Connor, So there you go.

Speaker 4 (59:50):
We've just heard about a wonderful amp show happening in
the North. What's happening in the South this weekend?

Speaker 14 (59:55):
A Shriek Rave Shriek the Rave where I think what
happens is they take a bunch of the songs from
the wonderful Shriek soundtrack, of which we all know in
love and has become synonymous with the movie, and then
remix them to a crowd of sweety teenagers, of whom
have been heavily pre drinking during that day, right.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Strict believe, I'm guessing that's what after.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
I think one of the songs, I'm I'm sure there
are fuose.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Teenagers would have been born when that came out.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
I feel like they're just going to have to play
this song on Luke for about three hours.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Okay, So Shrek Rave and what else is going on
in the South.

Speaker 14 (01:00:36):
Yeah, we've got a very awesome event to Nelson the
Mark Carnival. What's is being run.

Speaker 6 (01:00:42):
By the.

Speaker 16 (01:00:44):
Arts and Culture Collective a massive music lineup.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Connorwens no one else said. It's a bign.

Speaker 4 (01:00:53):
Well done, Connor. Now we'll go back to Haley, who's
heard okay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Kind of words had We won't even know what happened there,
and we know now the conference calling system is not
quite working for us.

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
But
