That Joan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I was quite pleased to read this lovely, heartwarming story
this morning. I thought it's worth having a chat about.
So there's a boy living in America, a small town
of America, three years old. His name is John, and
he loves trucks. I don't know if your son loves
trucks trucks, but he was just he loves trucks. And
every week he knows this, On a Tuesday, the rubbish
truck would come the small town, come to outside his house.
(10:50):
And you just watched. You stand by the window and watched.
And his mum was like, one Tuesday, She's like, why
don't we get a snack for the truck driver? Won't
we the rubbish truck driver? Why don't we take a
snack out on a Tuesday? So he chose a snack.
It was an apple, took it out to the guy.
The guy stopped the truck had a chat, and he
was really thankful for the apple. He was like, the
best apple I've ever had. They had a chat too,
(11:12):
to the horn. And then every Tuesday he'd be there
waiting for the truck driver to come back again with
a different snack. He'd pick out a different snack and
for his fifteen minute break. The truck driver would decide
to take his fifteen minute break every Tuesday at the guys.
He would look forward to it. He's like, Tuesday's with
the highlight of my week. Just seeing this little boy
come out. Give him a hard geedle him to look
around the truck, toot the horn, got to see everything.
(11:33):
He was like, this is amazing. But then his mum no,
But then his mum was like, he's going to kindergarten. No,
it's actually a really lovely ending. He's going to kindergarten.
So he won't be home in Tuesday mornings anymore. And
so the truck driver went to his bosses and he
got them to change his route so he can go
in the afternoon to the house so he still can
continue to hang out. He's going to his fourth birthday
(11:55):
this weekend. They're like best friends. And I was like,
that's a lovely little story, a lovely story. He changed
his whole he changes whe just so he could. Yeah,
you can hang out and to see this for fifteen
minutes every day with Avery Tuesday, once a week with
his little kid. So it's very nice. It's a beautiful story.
I can't remember the last time I talked to the robbish.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
Can you get out of the way, get out of
the car these you know, I just I just feel
the judging eyes from the hair on my beer bottles,
tipping out of the risk.

So Johnny, you throw it out there? More heart warming
story than that? It was a very heart warming story.

Brent Radken, who hosts the Hits night show.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
He's here, back in, we go back in see you
last night midnight or so he's back at this morning
just to tell the story before seven o'clock.

Yeah, make them cups of tea. I don't give them
their medicine. I've been told not to do that. Okay,
someone else will do that. We're just sit and hang out.
I'm a companion, but I find that they are more
of a companion to me.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
The same people that you were to get to meet
and to hang out with them.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
And there are some real characters in there, some of
them you try to avoid, let's be honest. But that's
like like here at work.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Characters at work. Yeah, that's lovely. Is that is that?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
My mum worked at a retirement village for many years
and she just said, prolific love makers.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Running around good stuff meant like rabbits.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
They are, Yeah, they can still do it.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
Yeah, so that's why i'm's a prolific love maker.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's very sweet help.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
And how many times a week you're doing this?

Speaker 8 (15:09):

It does definitely feel lately, Paula. Paula's phone through as well.
You think you've got a more heartwarming story, Paula. Sorry, Paula,
I haven't turned you on. Sorry Paula turns you on now.
We didn't hear anything you just said.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
It could have been the most heartwarming, shitty about it.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
But we'll never know what it was.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Now, what is it, Paula.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Okay, many a few years ago, when my son was
very young, like six or seven, he was very close
to my parents. They were immigrants to New Zealand, so
small family and fairly they actually became very unwell at
the same time and passed away very close together, very
young and so but he spent the primarily first six
or seven years of his life, you know, before were
(16:00):
in after school and any spare time he had at
their house mow and lawns and doing gardens. He's a
real outdoor kid and he loved the Willibins, who always
put the bins out. So once they had passed away,
I was sann It was not long before Christmas. I
sorted out all the house and was sort of tidying up,
and we were having the very last wheelibin run, and
we sort of wanted to make it a bit special
(16:21):
because you know, it was his thing and all the
good stuff. So it was for Christmas week and we
had got bog bogs of beer and tuckies and cake
and all sorts of stuff, and so were Sam and
I was the buns which he had always put out,
spanning on the side of the road in the middle
of the day. And along comes the rubbish truck guy,
(16:41):
really nice guy, and he stopped and hopped out, and
so my son gave him all the stuff and he
was a bit shy and thanked very much, and he
kind of knew that, I think, because the house had
been sold, that it was the last time. So we
turned around and he offered him a ride on the
truck which was around that and he said to me,
but you have to come to which you know understandably,
(17:04):
we know how life works. So there we are. Haven't
I and the wheelie bin during the whole round? Sorry,
And that's kind of how that ended. And to be
fair to my son, he is the only one still
to this day, he still lives on there who puts
the bins out.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's lovely. Paula Jesus the Heart.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Maybe we should change the text on the Soulas show
put heart.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Warming stories on every three minutes and everyone's likes that.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
We Front FOOTU were saying, we are excited. We're all
excited about Christmas because we introduced the game yesterday and
we've been accused of being grinches.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
We have, yeah, they stop, but you get into the
Christmas spirit.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
This is not an anti Christmas campaign. You wouldn't be
anti anything on the hits, but especially not anti Christmas.
Megan huge backer of Christmas.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I everything Christmas.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
So but we just thought it's very hard to avoid
it's hard to avoid Christmas, and it's hard to avoid
one particular song at Christmas time. So we thought we'd
make a little game with you listening right now, how
long can we avoid listening to Mariah Carey's All I
Want for Christmas? So we we can't listen to other
Christmas songs?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Not even going to play the whole No we're not.
We played it once yesterday. The start line was yesterday.
So the game is pretty simple. If you are caught
listening to it, maybe you're in a shop, you're at
a petrol station. It plays over the loud speaking you're
out of the game.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, you got to know that.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You've got to adobe yourself and it's an honesty policy.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
For four eight seven or on the text or oh
one hundred the hits. Maybe you pull up social media
and it plays over there. You're out of the game
and you say, I'm out of the game. Guys. Now,
Mady and PJ.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
We're listening to this yesterday afternoon and they've decided to
opt in as well.
Speaker 12 (18:45):
We're going to opt into the game right now. It's
three point thirty two. Okay, Monday afternoon. We're in the game.
I'm speaking on behalf of Meddi. I don't know how
he's going to go though, because he is a massive
Mariah fan. He's a massive Bestive fan. For all we know,
he could have actually played it in the Last City six.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I could imagine it being on its running players.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, so Many and PJ Aaron the game. We're all
in the game. You're listening right now. It's not too late.
You can join in the game. You just have to
see how long you can avoid listening to the song.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
And then once all of us Many and PJ and
the three of us have have succumb then we officially
start playing the song on the radio station.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Great, okay, Now, Producer Alie, you've come in and you've
said you may be out of the game. I need
a question.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I've got a question this and I want to see
what you guys think. So that bit of audio you
just heard John O play, I loaded that onto what
we call a button bar this morning, and because I
was trying to work out what audios around it to
make sure that I get the right one on the bar,
I clicked one that said Mariah, carry on it, Meghan.
But it was the hook of the song, and that
(19:47):
was literally one second.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Job job we're all trying to do.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Was the original song and your ear holes any means?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna blame John.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
You should have taken that off the button bar, which
what we call it here radio off.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now, well I'll take it off now. Yeah, okay, So
he's out of the game. It's a four seven at
any stage over the next couple of days, when you
hear that song, let us know, we'd love to hear
when you're out of the game.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
And it's one yesterday, I went, so I took a
huge gam below had to go to a Westfield mall
and into the chemists warehouse too prime locations, but managed
to dodge it.

months now, and yeah, I'm going to front foot this.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
This is completely my fault.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
This.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
This is no way the responsibility of the professional organization
that's trying to get hold of me. I keep getting
texts from the dentists that I'm ignoring.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Do you do that?
Speaker 6 (21:12):
No, don't forget, No, I don't get texts. At this point,
I feel like I'm getting stanned. You're not eminem stand
by my dent weekly like.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Your personal dentists, or is it from the company.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's from the company, but I don't know if it's
an automated system. I feel like they change each time
and tone, so I'm assuming there's some human behind it,
but they keep telling me how important it is for
the health of my teeth.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
And Text one is hi, John, A friendly dental team here,

Now, Megan, you're combining two foods from the breakfast table,
which when I'd never heard of this combination?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Have you not? It's two like normal foods, but I
guess putting them together is not the normal way that
you eat them. So like I don't eat wheatbacks in
a bowl like with milk and stuff. Yeah right, I
get the wheatbacks, put it on its edge and I
slice it down the middle, so I've got like two
skinny bits and then I butter them and put my
(23:44):
mind on them.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Wheatbekx toast.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
It's toast. But you don't toast them though.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
No, you don't think that survives.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
It's a wheaty yeasty trees. Now you should try it.
How did you en up for you?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Though?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I think my dad did.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
It so but butter and marmo.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah, it's just you split the wee and it's like
two little skinny bits of toast. That's delicious. I would
prefer to eat.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It that way.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Yeah, well, we want to know your food combos. So
your strange food combos eight hundred HiT's four four eight seven.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Because you're a small than your son as well, so
he's taken some some liberties with.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
So we've put on those little like porridge sashets were like,
it'll be easy, he'll like it. And he refuses to
eat them when they're cooked. So he just likes to
pour it in a bowl and pour milk with it
and eat it like a cold cereal, not.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Cooked at all. No, so he's just eating raw.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
It's like porridge sashet as a cereal.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
In a way it could work. Never tried it. I've
tried the mini eat it up.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
I'm going to go soupy.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Yeah, it's going to end the open side. Your one
way or another?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, porridge inside?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, my dear, what I just spray QP mayo on everything?
Oh uh, steak, steak, so yes, sausages, I'll put it obviously,
sandwiches or chips.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
I put it on potato kumata. There's not much I
wouldn't put putting it on everything. QP mayonnaise on Okay, probably.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Tell everyone what you made yesterday?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Did you put my love Instagram meal which was with
QP mao QP may I put that on the tune
and whipped it around you. You shred slices of cucumber
rolling up like a sushi roll.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Make cucumber sushi.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
And then I think I double down on the QP,
put more QP on top top, canceling out the health
of what I was making.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
So unusual ways you're reading things the unusual food combinations.
So you si to have a friend. I feel like
he was only doing this to be different. Hip hop
milk in this bowl first and then the cereal, and
I was like, mate, no one does that that way.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
How can you tell how much milk?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Just put milk? And then I always do it this way.
It's just showman chips.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, quite ploppy too, just like a lot
of splash back image.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Yeah, but where is that free now.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Air present guys, That's what happens, Slipper Slope.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Were with a guy too, when if you would have
lunch or dinner with him, he would separate his food
on the on the plate, would like sort of segregate
them out like a prison, and the gangs are prison,
all sitting on his plate and tackle them one by one.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
My daughter, and they will do that, and then she
will always save the things she likes the most of
the last, the best mouth, someone who makes dinner most nights.
You're like, okay, I wasn't a fan of that, without
even saying anything, now like, without even saying anything.
Speaker 6 (26:34):

To it with Megan, Who I get I get it?
How you're eating your weeet books.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I'm not the only one. Someone on the text machine
does it too, So I put it on side, slice
it in half so you get to cross.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
You have to be careful.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
But if you get a knife and they kind of
just split and then you butter them. I put marmite on.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Someone's saying they do the same, but then they dip
it in golden syrup as well. Yeah, and another layer
of Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:23):

Yeah, the bottle mystery. It's a sample, all right, So
we'll go to the phone. Undred hits your food combos, Craig,
what are you doing?
Speaker 14 (28:00):
You make a normal omelet with the ingredients. You slices
up a banana and you put it inside the omelets
and then you have feature cut up on top of it.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Is it a sweet omelet? Or if you've got like
cheese and tomato and stuff in there too.
Speaker 14 (28:17):
Cheese, tomato, bacon, Cheese slides up the banana and then
the features on top.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Craig, How on earth did you not hear Craig.

It sounds it sounds gross.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
I haven't tried it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Those things that you grow up eating with your family,
that you think are completely normal, then you bring them
into your relationship. I used to think that I used
to soak like I used to make this very special
French toast.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
It was a little unusual special I brought into my
household and everyone's like, you know, how is it very special?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Well?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
You put your you put the it in the egg
and you mix it, cook it, and then you put
the cheese on top, and you put tomato sauce.

Cody?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
I'm not going to see get into that conversation, fair.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Enough, and now's not the tie. Now is the time
to talk about unusual food combinations. Though, What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (29:46):
So you get a cheese toasty and just put some
jam on it, some strawberry jam.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That sounds legit.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Hold on, Oh, it's so good.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
You started judging my tomato sauce cheese fridge toast, but
then strawberry jam on cheese toast your fine with Yeah,

To be sweet, really good.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Okay, we'll give it a go and I'll think of you, Cody.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You go having a great day. Well, we've got one,
saying burger ring stepped and strawberry yogurt unusual, unusual. A
lot of these meals do ice cream. People do that.
I see that when they're giving the.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Popcorn and ice cream.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
A lot of these meals do peanut butter and wheat bexs.
I have pour milk on my cake is a text
for fras. A lot of these meals feel like they
were designed over a an element with a couple of knives.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Jane, is it, yes, it is morning.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Welcome Jay. You're odd food combos.
Speaker 13 (30:52):
Yeah. So back in South Africa, we have a fish
that you're buying a tin called sardines and with syrup
on toast, golden syrup.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. So my I'm married into
a South African family, Janet, and they at Easter have
hot cross buns with pickled fish on top. I know,
have you heard of that?
Speaker 13 (31:17):
No, I've never ever heard of that pickled fish.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, it's cinnamon for me?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well, can we? I would love to try that experience it.
I don't know if I enjoy it, but I'll try
that next season.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
The Heads that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Month actually for cricket in New Zealand. The White Fans
so won the Tea twenty World Cup and then the
black Caps, the men cricketers will be in THEA three
nol and Neil Wagner, former black Cap, black Cap legend,
great fast bowler. He's got a new book out it's
called All Out, and I wanted to come in for
an interview. I would love to. I wanted to meet
Neil Wagner, big fan of Neil Wagner's. But I was like, holdo,
(31:53):
let's put a different angle on it. This put a difference.
But there's get Megan to interview.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Being wanted sixty minutes of hardcore undults cricket and we
had to dial them back. So you thought of a
funny angle.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yeah, and it was to share your love of cricket
with Megan, who shared her love of painting nails with you.
You had pink nails for three weeks. They didn't chip off.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
So in case you didn't realize that when I'm reading
the sports news, I might sound like I know what
I'm talking about it, I also might sound like I
don't at all, which it's not. The cricket's a bad sport.
It's just not for me. I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Okay, Well, yeah, we got to do this interview and
you were quite nervous about this. You actually went through
your questions with me beforehand. You are these good questions
for Neil wag No no, so I thought they're actually
really good questions for them.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
So yeah, while we were out of there, you were
here alone waiting as we went and got Neil.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Why am I alone?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I just make me sound even more awkward.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
I'll be like, hell, it's a bit nervous. And then
you started doing your in command style vocal warm.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Ups cricket, cricket, cricket, balls and wickets, cricket, cricket, balls
and wickets.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
On the pitch, and he won't read it in the field.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
And someone was like, well, you can't call it the.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Great you're getting into the spread. And then we finally
brought Neil Wagner. We went outside to see him and
we're like, hey, she's a little nervous, she has no much,
but cricket should be great. Come on, and we brought
Neil Wagner into the studio.
Speaker 14 (33:23):
Okay, just.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
So we left you in there.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
So it's you and Neil wer He was.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Cricket top everything. It was good to go. The only
real hiccup was JOHNO. It wasn't actually Neil Wagner. It
wasn't Neil Wagner. It wasn't what we had done.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
There is from chapter four of the Prank Playbook with
Box Switcheroo. Were pulled the Switcheroo. So we've sent the
wonderful Dan who works in the office. We've put him
and kind of looks like Neil Wager.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
From I think we're calling him.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Yeah, put him and put him in a black cap.
Stop and you began and interviewing.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Not Neil Wagner, joining studio by one of New Zealand's
fiercest bowlers. He's a legend in the world of cricket.
He is famous for his determination, has never give up spirit,
his incredible ability to make things happen when it matters most.
And he is here today to talk about his new book,
All Out. Neil Wagner, Good.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Morning, morning, God, you got me blushing already.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
I'm not gonna lie chet Gpt wrote there for me,
so good start.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Then we were watching in another room or listening in
another room with the actual Neil Wagner, John O and
I to see how Dan was going pretending to be
Neil Wagner, and how you were going, Why do you
think so far, Neil? Yeah, he's doing a good job
so far. She hasn't packed, it's not you, and she
has been reading your book over the weekend. So is
that a good sign or not? I don't know. Don't
(34:48):
know a good thing about Dan is he knows nothing.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
He knows nothing about cricket.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
So that was the hilarious bit for us is Dan
never watched the game of cricket. You haven't even watched
the game of credit. So two people doing a cricket
interview and don't know any about cricket.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
What is your favorite ball? Red, white, pink or blue?
Speaker 13 (35:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You gotta go with pink? Port breast cancer?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Does that? Okay? I'm not gonna lie. When do you
use the pink bull? Is that just for special match?
Speaker 6 (35:16):
Just special occasions usually usually just the twenty twenty events?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah? Nice?
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Okay, So now real Neil Wagoner's watching this. Listen to
his reaction.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Because the special pink yet? Okay, So it's cricket knowledge
is fully abart. But she doesn't know anything about cricket.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
Did you get suspicious here?
Speaker 4 (35:41):
That was probably one thing I was like, I don't
think the pink balls are for t twe.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
No, they're not. You're right. It was and I was
like her, am I to questioned, he's the one?
Speaker 3 (35:50):
And then eventually after probably about fifteen painful minutes, well
we came in with actual Neil Wagner as you're interviewing
Neil Wagner.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Oh wait what process from the office, God, I don't
know who you're interviewing, but you like it went really well.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Apart from your favorite moment in your career not being
in your book, I think it went really well.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Did you at any stage.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
Are you every the extress?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
At one point were you saying you bowled with both arms.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
With come on, John, I come on. It was hilarious
new work, black cap, great sport for doing this. He's
got a new book out called all.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Out, but his face is on the front and I
read all week.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
We've got a great video of you interviewing what you
thought was new works. We watched that. We're coming out
the next couple of days and.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
From the office is like, I work in the list
with you. You're a terrible person.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I heard him say that you're a terrible person but
not recognizing me.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
All I want for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Mariah Carey is it feels like as soon as the
opening notes of that song play, Christmas has begun.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
The runway to Christmas has begun. And we're not trying
to delay the run way at all.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
You can celebrate Christmas that you want, but we just
want to see how long you can go about avoiding
hearing that song. As soon as you hear that song,
you could be in the mall, you could be at
the gym, you could be anywhere at all. You could
open up social media like to produce Elie today. I
know that was actually something she loaded into the system,
but she heard it. She heard it, and you're out
of the game. You have to nominate and you have
(37:42):
to call up and say, well, I'm out of the game.
Four four seven on the Texture out the Game.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Maddi PJ hosts the afternoon show here on the Hit
So they do a wonderful job. They heard us talking
about it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
They're on board. They're going to play as well.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
We're going to opt into the game. Right now.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
It's three point thirty two, okay, Monday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
We're in the game.
Speaker 12 (37:57):
I'm speaking on behalf of Maddie I don't know how
he's going to go go because he is a massive
Mariah fan. He's a massive beastive fan. But all we
know he could have actually played it in the Last
City six.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
I could imagine it being on us running playlist.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
They're going to have a tough time, particularly with Medi's
love of Mariah.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Now I didn't want to get out. None of us
wanted to get out on day one. We started Yes day.
Of course you can just join and now we can
all play the game, but you took huge risks.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Huge rest I had to pick out some stuff from
the Chimmus, so I had to go on into the
Westfield mall and in into a Chemmis two crime hall.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
I want for Christmas locations.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
We heard Christmas music.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Yeah there was, Yeah, there was playing loud and clear.
How did you go anywhere?
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I went to the gym, but I had hip bones
on and I doubt I doubt it would have played.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Gym maybe not Christmas music, who knows. I went Yes
today supermarket. Soon as I picked up my daughter Andy,
and I was like, I don't want to go on
first day, So I was like you going?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
She was.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
She had obviously been listening to the radio.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
So you haven't sent me into the supermarket before, quickly
explained it, gave him my wallet, quick explaining.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Then she she went in and went out and I recorded.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Here, can you go to the supermarket and get some
milk and bananas?

Speaker 1 (45:18):
I noticed you've got a sixteen piece cutlery set. Now,
we had a big cutlery debate the other day on
the radio. Some people thought it was pointless. I got involved.
I was, I was leading the charge to what order
you put the cutlery away when you're putting them away
and your dish and so in your draws in your kitchen.
You know how sometimes they have little allocations for your spoon,
your fork, your knife. Is there any particular order that
(45:39):
you would put yours away in?
Speaker 7 (45:41):
No, no, no, no, I've got all the spoons together,
all the nuts together, on the fawks together. But it's
not a such order.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
So you don't mind. Because I was, I was going fork,
spoon and then a knife, because that's the way. That's
the way you'd lay it out if I was laying
it out on the table. But a lot of people
were going putting the knife hawk together, fork spoon.
Speaker 7 (46:00):
Then the way you, lady on the table is going
to seek to do the way you lay in your throat.
Because when you pick up all the fox and all
the nice another springs in your hands, then I stad
you know, in an order anymore?
Speaker 1 (46:11):
That's true, but it doesn't correlate. You're right pleasing to
my eye about it. So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (46:16):
I just like.

I'm in the wrong. Yeah, okay, I don't.

of America, three years old. His name is John, and
he loves trucks. I don't know if your son loves
trucks trucks, but he was just he loves trucks. And
every week he knows this, On a Tuesday, the rubbish
truck would come the small town, come to outside his house.
(10:50):
And you just watched. You stand by the window and watched.
And his mum was like, one Tuesday, She's like, why
don't we get a snack for the truck driver? Won't
we the rubbish truck driver? Why don't we take a
snack out on a Tuesday? So he chose a snack.
It was an apple, took it out to the guy.
The guy stopped the truck had a chat, and he
was really thankful for the apple. He was like, the
best apple I've ever had. They had a chat too,
(11:12):
to the horn. And then every Tuesday he'd be there
waiting for the truck driver to come back again with
a different snack. He'd pick out a different snack and
for his fifteen minute break. The truck driver would decide
to take his fifteen minute break every Tuesday at the guys.
He would look forward to it. He's like, Tuesday's with
the highlight of my week. Just seeing this little boy
come out. Give him a hard geedle him to look
around the truck, toot the horn, got to see everything.
(11:33):
He was like, this is amazing. But then his mum no,
But then his mum was like, he's going to kindergarten. No,
it's actually a really lovely ending. He's going to kindergarten.
So he won't be home in Tuesday mornings anymore. And
so the truck driver went to his bosses and he
got them to change his route so he can go
in the afternoon to the house so he still can
continue to hang out. He's going to his fourth birthday
(11:55):
this weekend. They're like best friends. And I was like,
that's a lovely little story, a lovely story. He changed
his whole he changes whe just so he could. Yeah,
you can hang out and to see this for fifteen
minutes every day with Avery Tuesday, once a week with
his little kid. So it's very nice. It's a beautiful story.
I can't remember the last time I talked to the robbish.
Speaker 10 (12:14):
Can you get out of the way, get out of
the car these you know, I just I just feel
the judging eyes from the hair on my beer bottles,
tipping out of the risk.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
That was a lovely story, little story as well.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, I thought, yeah, sorry, I thought you thought halfway
through your always as good.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
No, I was like, you're going to do a dog
league and then rass truck driver is not going to
turn up one day.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
He's still there. Yeah, go to his birthday this weekend.
They documented on TikTok, the mum documents on TikTok. But
that it was beautiful story.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I thought he was going to go the claw actually
picked up the boy and put the boy in the rubbish. Okay,
I'm going to check this out there and this might
be high risk.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
No, reward.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Has anyone got a more heartwarming story?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Jonaan ben podcast?
Speaker 1 (13:01):
So Johnny, you throw it out there? More heart warming
story than that? It was a very heart warming story.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
And it reminded me of a conversation I had with
Brent Radken, who hosts the Hits night show.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
He's here, back in, we go back in see you
last night midnight or so he's back at this morning
just to tell the story before seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Now, Brin, listen, and this is not this is not
Britn's self bragging. I've dragged Brennan and the here, Brennan
here to tell this story. Okay, so what do you tell?
You tell these people what you do?
Speaker 8 (13:29):
Well, occasionally I'll go and hang out with some old people.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Yeah, he goes to the retirement Bly.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You mentioned this so many sweet things though.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It's a wonderful thing. So you go and listen. What listen?
Hang out?
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Yeah, make them cups of tea. I don't give them
their medicine. I've been told not to do that. Okay,
someone else will do that. We're just sit and hang out.
I'm a companion, but I find that they are more
of a companion to me.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
The same people that you were to get to meet
and to hang out with them.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
And there are some real characters in there, some of
them you try to avoid, let's be honest. But that's
like like here at work.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Characters at work. Yeah, that's lovely. Is that is that?
Speaker 3 (14:13):
My mum worked at a retirement village for many years
and she just said, prolific love makers.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Running around good stuff meant like rabbits.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
They are, Yeah, they can still do it.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
Yeah, so that's why i'm's a prolific love maker.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's very sweet help.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
And how many times a week you're doing this?
Speaker 8 (14:37):
Maybe once a week. I'm going to go today and
joining the Melbourne Cup festivities. I think, do the sweet steak.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
With the retirement phil.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
And then tomorrow I'll.

Be there for the election too. We'll watch the election.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, she's here's some things.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Some hot fire opinions on that one.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
They think is it a paid gig? No, no, no,
it's just volunteer. Yeah, what a god.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Also volunteers at Starship Hospital doing their radio station there too.
You make us all look.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Like that's more incredible what you're doing. It's lovely.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Someone said, I'm doing community service.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
It does feel having done community service at the past.
It does definitely feel lately, Paula. Paula's phone through as well.
You think you've got a more heartwarming story, Paula. Sorry, Paula,
I haven't turned you on. Sorry Paula turns you on now.
We didn't hear anything you just said.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
It could have been the most heartwarming, shitty about it.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
But we'll never know what it was.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Now, what is it, Paula.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Okay, many a few years ago, when my son was
very young, like six or seven, he was very close
to my parents. They were immigrants to New Zealand, so
small family and fairly they actually became very unwell at
the same time and passed away very close together, very
young and so but he spent the primarily first six
or seven years of his life, you know, before were
(16:00):
in after school and any spare time he had at
their house mow and lawns and doing gardens. He's a
real outdoor kid and he loved the Willibins, who always
put the bins out. So once they had passed away,
I was sann It was not long before Christmas. I
sorted out all the house and was sort of tidying up,
and we were having the very last wheelibin run, and
we sort of wanted to make it a bit special
(16:21):
because you know, it was his thing and all the
good stuff. So it was for Christmas week and we
had got bog bogs of beer and tuckies and cake
and all sorts of stuff, and so were Sam and
I was the buns which he had always put out,
spanning on the side of the road in the middle
of the day. And along comes the rubbish truck guy,
(16:41):
really nice guy, and he stopped and hopped out, and
so my son gave him all the stuff and he
was a bit shy and thanked very much, and he
kind of knew that, I think, because the house had
been sold, that it was the last time. So we
turned around and he offered him a ride on the
truck which was around that and he said to me,
but you have to come to which you know understandably,
(17:04):
we know how life works. So there we are. Haven't
I and the wheelie bin during the whole round? Sorry,
And that's kind of how that ended. And to be
fair to my son, he is the only one still
to this day, he still lives on there who puts
the bins out.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's lovely. Paula Jesus the Heart.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Maybe we should change the text on the Soulas show
put heart.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Warming stories on every three minutes and everyone's likes that.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
We Front FOOTU were saying, we are excited. We're all
excited about Christmas because we introduced the game yesterday and
we've been accused of being grinches.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
We have, yeah, they stop, but you get into the
Christmas spirit.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
This is not an anti Christmas campaign. You wouldn't be
anti anything on the hits, but especially not anti Christmas.
Megan huge backer of Christmas.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I everything Christmas.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
So but we just thought it's very hard to avoid
it's hard to avoid Christmas, and it's hard to avoid
one particular song at Christmas time. So we thought we'd
make a little game with you listening right now, how
long can we avoid listening to Mariah Carey's All I
Want for Christmas? So we we can't listen to other
Christmas songs?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Not even going to play the whole No we're not.
We played it once yesterday. The start line was yesterday.
So the game is pretty simple. If you are caught
listening to it, maybe you're in a shop, you're at
a petrol station. It plays over the loud speaking you're
out of the game.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, you got to know that.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You've got to adobe yourself and it's an honesty policy.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
For four eight seven or on the text or oh
one hundred the hits. Maybe you pull up social media
and it plays over there. You're out of the game
and you say, I'm out of the game. Guys. Now,
Mady and PJ.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
We're listening to this yesterday afternoon and they've decided to
opt in as well.
Speaker 12 (18:45):
We're going to opt into the game right now. It's
three point thirty two. Okay, Monday afternoon. We're in the game.
I'm speaking on behalf of Meddi. I don't know how
he's going to go though, because he is a massive
Mariah fan. He's a massive Bestive fan. For all we know,
he could have actually played it in the Last City six.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I could imagine it being on its running players.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Okay, so Many and PJ Aaron the game. We're all
in the game. You're listening right now. It's not too late.
You can join in the game. You just have to
see how long you can avoid listening to the song.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
And then once all of us Many and PJ and
the three of us have have succumb then we officially
start playing the song on the radio station.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Great, okay, Now, Producer Alie, you've come in and you've
said you may be out of the game. I need
a question.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I've got a question this and I want to see
what you guys think. So that bit of audio you
just heard John O play, I loaded that onto what
we call a button bar this morning, and because I
was trying to work out what audios around it to
make sure that I get the right one on the bar,
I clicked one that said Mariah, carry on it, Meghan.
But it was the hook of the song, and that
(19:47):
was literally one second.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Job job we're all trying to do.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Was the original song and your ear holes any means?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna blame John.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
You should have taken that off the button bar, which
what we call it here radio off.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Now, well I'll take it off now. Yeah, okay, So
he's out of the game. It's a four seven at
any stage over the next couple of days, when you
hear that song, let us know, we'd love to hear
when you're out of the game.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
And it's one yesterday, I went, so I took a
huge gam below had to go to a Westfield mall
and into the chemists warehouse too prime locations, but managed
to dodge it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Did you hear any Christmas music?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah? He Christmas music? Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
There was a part of me go, oh, this is it.
This is day one.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
You being honest, I'm being honest.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's a big honesty thing, isn't that? That's this game?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
It takes four for oh seven since you say, since
we started the thirty have you heard Mariah Carey is
all I want for Christmas?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Are you out of the games that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I'm getting a bunch of texts that I've ignored for
probably i would say, going on two and a half
months now, and yeah, I'm going to front foot this.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
This is completely my fault.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
This.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
This is no way the responsibility of the professional organization
that's trying to get hold of me. I keep getting
texts from the dentists that I'm ignoring.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Do you do that?
Speaker 6 (21:12):
No, don't forget, No, I don't get texts. At this point,
I feel like I'm getting stanned. You're not eminem stand
by my dent weekly like.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Your personal dentists, or is it from the company.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's from the company, but I don't know if it's
an automated system. I feel like they change each time
and tone, so I'm assuming there's some human behind it,
but they keep telling me how important it is for
the health of my teeth.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
And Text one is hi, John, A friendly dental team here,
quick reminder, check up, scale and polished. You keep those

The heads that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Now, Megan, you're combining two foods from the breakfast table,
which when I'd never heard of this combination?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Have you not? It's two like normal foods, but I
guess putting them together is not the normal way that
you eat them. So like I don't eat wheatbacks in
a bowl like with milk and stuff. Yeah right, I
get the wheatbacks, put it on its edge and I
slice it down the middle, so I've got like two
skinny bits and then I butter them and put my
(23:44):
mind on them.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Wheatbekx toast.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
It's toast. But you don't toast them though.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
No, you don't think that survives.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
It's a wheaty yeasty trees. Now you should try it.
How did you en up for you?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Though?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I think my dad did.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
It so but butter and marmo.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah, it's just you split the wee and it's like
two little skinny bits of toast. That's delicious. I would
prefer to eat.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It that way.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Yeah, well, we want to know your food combos. So
your strange food combos eight hundred HiT's four four eight seven.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Because you're a small than your son as well, so
he's taken some some liberties with.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
So we've put on those little like porridge sashets were like,
it'll be easy, he'll like it. And he refuses to
eat them when they're cooked. So he just likes to
pour it in a bowl and pour milk with it
and eat it like a cold cereal, not.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Cooked at all. No, so he's just eating raw.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
It's like porridge sashet as a cereal.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
In a way it could work. Never tried it. I've
tried the mini eat it up.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
I'm going to go soupy.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Yeah, it's going to end the open side. Your one
way or another?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, porridge inside?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, my dear, what I just spray QP mayo on everything?
Oh uh, steak, steak, so yes, sausages, I'll put it obviously,
sandwiches or chips.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
I put it on potato kumata. There's not much I
wouldn't put putting it on everything. QP mayonnaise on Okay, probably.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Tell everyone what you made yesterday?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Did you put my love Instagram meal which was with
QP mao QP may I put that on the tune
and whipped it around you. You shred slices of cucumber
rolling up like a sushi roll.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Make cucumber sushi.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
And then I think I double down on the QP,
put more QP on top top, canceling out the health
of what I was making.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
So unusual ways you're reading things the unusual food combinations.
So you si to have a friend. I feel like
he was only doing this to be different. Hip hop
milk in this bowl first and then the cereal, and
I was like, mate, no one does that that way.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
How can you tell how much milk?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Just put milk? And then I always do it this way.
It's just showman chips.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, quite ploppy too, just like a lot
of splash back image.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Yeah, but where is that free now.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Air present guys, That's what happens, Slipper Slope.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Were with a guy too, when if you would have
lunch or dinner with him, he would separate his food
on the on the plate, would like sort of segregate
them out like a prison, and the gangs are prison,
all sitting on his plate and tackle them one by one.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
My daughter, and they will do that, and then she
will always save the things she likes the most of
the last, the best mouth, someone who makes dinner most nights.

even saying anything, now like, without even saying anything.

it in half so you get to cross.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
You have to be careful.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
But if you get a knife and they kind of
just split and then you butter them. I put marmite on.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Someone's saying they do the same, but then they dip

Those things that you grow up eating with your family,
that you think are completely normal, then you bring them
into your relationship. I used to think that I used

You go having a great day. Well, we've got one,
saying burger ring stepped and strawberry yogurt unusual, unusual. A
lot of these meals do ice cream. People do that.
I see that when they're giving the.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Popcorn and ice cream.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
A lot of these meals do peanut butter and wheat bexs.
I have pour milk on my cake is a text
for fras. A lot of these meals feel like they
were designed over a an element with a couple of knives.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Jane, is it, yes, it is morning.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Welcome Jay. You're odd food combos.
Speaker 13 (30:52):
Yeah. So back in South Africa, we have a fish
that you're buying a tin called sardines and with syrup
on toast, golden syrup.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. So my I'm married into
a South African family, Janet, and they at Easter have
hot cross buns with pickled fish on top. I know,
have you heard of that?
Speaker 13 (31:17):
No, I've never ever heard of that pickled fish.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, it's cinnamon for me?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well, can we? I would love to try that experience it.
I don't know if I enjoy it, but I'll try
that next season.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
The Heads that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Month actually for cricket in New Zealand. The White Fans
so won the Tea twenty World Cup and then the
black Caps, the men cricketers will be in THEA three
nol and Neil Wagner, former black Cap, black Cap legend,
great fast bowler. He's got a new book out it's
called All Out, and I wanted to come in for
an interview. I would love to. I wanted to meet
Neil Wagner, big fan of Neil Wagner's. But I was like, holdo,
(31:53):
let's put a different angle on it. This put a difference.
But there's get Megan to interview.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Being wanted sixty minutes of hardcore undults cricket and we
had to dial them back. So you thought of a
funny angle.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yeah, and it was to share your love of cricket
with Megan, who shared her love of painting nails with you.
You had pink nails for three weeks. They didn't chip off.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
So in case you didn't realize that when I'm reading
the sports news, I might sound like I know what
I'm talking about it, I also might sound like I
don't at all, which it's not. The cricket's a bad sport.
It's just not for me. I don't know anything about it.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Okay, Well, yeah, we got to do this interview and
you were quite nervous about this. You actually went through
your questions with me beforehand. You are these good questions
for Neil wag No no, so I thought they're actually
really good questions for them.
Speaker 6 (32:36):
So yeah, while we were out of there, you were
here alone waiting as we went and got Neil.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Why am I alone?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I just make me sound even more awkward.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
I'll be like, hell, it's a bit nervous. And then
you started doing your in command style vocal warm.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Ups cricket, cricket, cricket, balls and wickets, cricket, cricket, balls
and wickets.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
On the pitch, and he won't read it in the field.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
And someone was like, well, you can't call it the.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Great you're getting into the spread. And then we finally
brought Neil Wagner. We went outside to see him and
we're like, hey, she's a little nervous, she has no much,
but cricket should be great. Come on, and we brought
Neil Wagner into the studio.
Speaker 14 (33:23):
Okay, just.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
So we left you in there.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
So it's you and Neil wer He was.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Cricket top everything. It was good to go. The only
real hiccup was JOHNO. It wasn't actually Neil Wagner. It
wasn't Neil Wagner. It wasn't what we had done.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
There is from chapter four of the Prank Playbook with
Box Switcheroo. Were pulled the Switcheroo. So we've sent the
wonderful Dan who works in the office. We've put him
and kind of looks like Neil Wager.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
From I think we're calling him.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Yeah, put him and put him in a black cap.
Stop and you began and interviewing.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Not Neil Wagner, joining studio by one of New Zealand's
fiercest bowlers. He's a legend in the world of cricket.
He is famous for his determination, has never give up spirit,
his incredible ability to make things happen when it matters most.
And he is here today to talk about his new book,
All Out. Neil Wagner, Good.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Morning, morning, God, you got me blushing already.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
I'm not gonna lie chet Gpt wrote there for me,
so good start.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Then we were watching in another room or listening in
another room with the actual Neil Wagner, John O and
I to see how Dan was going pretending to be
Neil Wagner, and how you were going, Why do you
think so far, Neil? Yeah, he's doing a good job
so far. She hasn't packed, it's not you, and she
has been reading your book over the weekend. So is
that a good sign or not? I don't know. Don't
(34:48):
know a good thing about Dan is he knows nothing.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
He knows nothing about cricket.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
So that was the hilarious bit for us is Dan
never watched the game of cricket. You haven't even watched
the game of credit. So two people doing a cricket
interview and don't know any about cricket.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
What is your favorite ball? Red, white, pink or blue?
Speaker 13 (35:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
You gotta go with pink? Port breast cancer?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Does that? Okay? I'm not gonna lie. When do you
use the pink bull? Is that just for special match?
Speaker 6 (35:16):
Just special occasions usually usually just the twenty twenty events?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah? Nice?
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Okay, So now real Neil Wagoner's watching this. Listen to
his reaction.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Because the special pink yet? Okay, So it's cricket knowledge
is fully abart. But she doesn't know anything about cricket.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
Did you get suspicious here?
Speaker 4 (35:41):
That was probably one thing I was like, I don't
think the pink balls are for t twe.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
No, they're not. You're right. It was and I was
like her, am I to questioned, he's the one?
Speaker 3 (35:50):
And then eventually after probably about fifteen painful minutes, well
we came in with actual Neil Wagner as you're interviewing
Neil Wagner.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Oh wait what process from the office, God, I don't
know who you're interviewing, but you like it went really well.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Apart from your favorite moment in your career not being
in your book, I think it went really well.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Did you at any stage.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
Are you every the extress?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
At one point were you saying you bowled with both arms.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
With come on, John, I come on. It was hilarious
new work, black cap, great sport for doing this. He's
got a new book out called all.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
Out, but his face is on the front and I
read all week.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
We've got a great video of you interviewing what you
thought was new works. We watched that. We're coming out
the next couple of days and.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
From the office is like, I work in the list
with you. You're a terrible person.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I heard him say that you're a terrible person but
not recognizing me.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
All I want for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Mariah Carey is it feels like as soon as the
opening notes of that song play, Christmas has begun.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
The runway to Christmas has begun. And we're not trying
to delay the run way at all.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
You can celebrate Christmas that you want, but we just
want to see how long you can go about avoiding
hearing that song. As soon as you hear that song,
you could be in the mall, you could be at
the gym, you could be anywhere at all. You could
open up social media like to produce Elie today. I
know that was actually something she loaded into the system,
but she heard it. She heard it, and you're out
of the game. You have to nominate and you have
(37:42):
to call up and say, well, I'm out of the game.
Four four seven on the Texture out the Game.
Speaker 6 (37:45):
Maddi PJ hosts the afternoon show here on the Hit
So they do a wonderful job. They heard us talking
about it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
They're on board. They're going to play as well.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
We're going to opt into the game. Right now.
Speaker 12 (37:54):
It's three point thirty two, okay, Monday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
We're in the game.
Speaker 12 (37:57):
I'm speaking on behalf of Maddie I don't know how
he's going to go go because he is a massive
Mariah fan. He's a massive beastive fan. But all we
know he could have actually played it in the Last
City six.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
I could imagine it being on us running playlist.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
They're going to have a tough time, particularly with Medi's
love of Mariah.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Now I didn't want to get out. None of us
wanted to get out on day one. We started Yes day.
Of course you can just join and now we can
all play the game, but you took huge risks.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Huge rest I had to pick out some stuff from
the Chimmus, so I had to go on into the
Westfield mall and in into a Chemmis two crime hall.
Speaker 6 (38:28):
I want for Christmas locations.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
We heard Christmas music.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
Yeah there was, Yeah, there was playing loud and clear.
How did you go anywhere?
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I went to the gym, but I had hip bones
on and I doubt I doubt it would have played.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Gym maybe not Christmas music, who knows. I went Yes
today supermarket. Soon as I picked up my daughter Andy,
and I was like, I don't want to go on
first day, So I was like you going?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
She was.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
She had obviously been listening to the radio.
Speaker 6 (38:50):
So you haven't sent me into the supermarket before, quickly
explained it, gave him my wallet, quick explaining.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Then she she went in and went out and I recorded.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Here, can you go to the supermarket and get some
milk and bananas?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Please? Why I'm just gonna sit here because I don't
want to hear Mariah Carey's all I want for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
This is so random, is what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
But thank you.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
All.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Right, here we go with they're playing it. Yeah, there,
it's here, I know, but we're trying to avoid it.
Here we go. We actually have had her up there,
we'd actually playing it. She was good, good radio drama. Yeah,
great radio drama. Yes, she's got the radio jeans running hot.
(39:34):
I was like, this is a great text. I was like,
my car did some work. She went into the shopping
sitting around. I'm like, this is great. I can get
out of all these things because I'm trying to avoid
listening to the song. Okay, so we'll want your kits
into the kippers. Great setting the cards.
Speaker 6 (39:48):
There and to get me antidepressants.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Question.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
So we started with everyone yesterday morning, right, yes, so
anyone who started with us on the show then listened
to PJ in the afternoon, and PJ played a little
snippet of it as everyone in the afternoon started.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
Oh yeah, okay, well let's knock out. She's having to
reset who audience.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
There after consider that a bit of a receipt.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
I get reset. Yeah, I mean we can all go
from now, you know, but you, well, I know you're
already out, Like did you start? You stay in your
audy out.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
This feels like one of those when you're in your
car as a kid and you're holding the brief competitions.
Speaker 6 (40:24):
Okay, now start official holdout.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
We've started, but you I don't want to stop people
from joining it.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Fifty days to Christmas, and we're playing a really fun
game at the moment where you can get involved in.
Just see how long you can go living your life
trying to avoid hearing any of Mariah Carey's all I
Want for Christmas. As soon as you hear it, you're
out of the game, and soon of us, all of
us are out of the game. We'll play that song
and four on that Tear's with us. Good morning to
your tears. HI question from your daughter who's playing the game.
(40:54):
What does she want to fire out?
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Yeah, she wants to know if she's out of the
game because one of the girls in here class room
started singing at yesterday.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
No, okay, because to make out the rules as we
go along, it has to be the official recording artist,
Mariah Carey's rendition. Okay, you have to hear Marie. So
she's still on the game.
Speaker 7 (41:12):
Okay, she'll be glad.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
No covers, No, not even a band doing it. It
has to be Mariah.
Speaker 11 (41:18):
Okay, asleep, awome still in the test.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Last question for me, what if Mariah does like a
live version and you see it on Facebook or something.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
No, you're out.
Speaker 6 (41:28):
Okay, she's singing her song, You're out. Okay, that's uh.
There's a lot of texts coming through here. I got
caught out by Instagram last night.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Guys.
Speaker 6 (41:36):
That was your concern too, as people put it, media.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
People pull us background. Weren't they on the videos?
Speaker 6 (41:42):
Cody Cody from Idaho, welcome back. Most important cast member
of the show, Coke. What have you avoided it so far?

No, because we are being accused of being grinchy, Yeah

for Christmas. Where did you go yesterday, Cody, Well, not much.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
I wouldn't to work, I went home, I went to
I did go to a physio, but they weren't playing music.

So yeah, Well you don't think we're being grinchy, No.
Speaker 7 (42:20):

Speaker 1 (44:47):
I say that correct, And I don't even know what

Speaker 7 (44:51):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
I'm friends.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Oh what did you say it?
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Though?
Speaker 7 (44:56):
No?
Speaker 6 (44:59):
No, this is the first time that the announcers have
been confused about the word never.
Speaker 7 (45:06):
I've never heard the word before.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yeah, as I said it, I went, I read it
off a piece of baby. Did I just make that up?
For what happened?
Speaker 6 (45:14):
Whatever it is, you've got your own line of it, mate,
got my name on it. Now.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
I noticed you've got a sixteen piece cutlery set. Now,
we had a big cutlery debate the other day on
the radio. Some people thought it was pointless. I got involved.
I was, I was leading the charge to what order
you put the cutlery away when you're putting them away
and your dish and so in your draws in your kitchen.
You know how sometimes they have little allocations for your spoon,
your fork, your knife. Is there any particular order that
(45:39):
you would put yours away in?
Speaker 7 (45:41):
No, no, no, no, I've got all the spoons together,
all the nuts together, on the fawks together. But it's
not a such order.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
So you don't mind. Because I was, I was going fork,
spoon and then a knife, because that's the way. That's
the way you'd lay it out if I was laying
it out on the table. But a lot of people
were going putting the knife hawk together, fork spoon.
Speaker 7 (46:00):
Then the way you, lady on the table is going
to seek to do the way you lay in your throat.
Because when you pick up all the fox and all
the nice another springs in your hands, then I stad
you know, in an order anymore?
Speaker 1 (46:11):
That's true, but it doesn't correlate. You're right pleasing to
my eye about it. So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (46:16):
I just like.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
I'm in the wrong. Yeah, okay, I don't.
Speaker 7 (46:20):
Know you're in the wrong, in the right.
Speaker 3 (46:24):
What's the most basic embarrassing piece of food you've eaten recently.
Speaker 7 (46:30):
Oh, that happens a lot. I don't mind having two
miny noodles sometimes.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Do you do anything to it?
Speaker 6 (46:39):
Like you you know?
Speaker 7 (46:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got I've got a little recipe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I put the dry noodles in a bowl, and
then I put all the splashes and so on, pull
the boiling water over. And then when it's cooked, I
drying the brass into a cap. And then I put
cheese in my butter in my noodles. Oh, I can't
(47:02):
eat the noodles, and then the broth.
Speaker 6 (47:07):
So you're drinking the broth out of a mug. Yeah, legion,
I love this. I'm gonna try that today.
