Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Jonaman Ben podcast brought to you by Hello Fresh,
the Experts and Tastes that Kiwi's Love. Welcome to the
podcast on Monday, where there's been a lot of drama
in the show. Now the Mariah Carey Game, We've talked
a lot about it. We've been playing it for the
last month with you guys as well, trying to see
how long people can avoid hearing Mariah Carey's all I
Want for Christmas anywhere you go social media where today
(00:22):
Megan the last person here at the Hits radio station
to get out of the game.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Out of the game you'll hear at the moment.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I just I just wanted to do it like naturally,
like organically.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Do you know. We were actually hatching a plan. We
were this, Yeah, we're gonna get out this week and
we're going to wait in the car park where you park,
and one of us was going to pop out with
a bluetooth speaker of playing it and you'd be like
ha ha ha. Then we're like, oh, that's done. Then
you're getting your car, and then there'd be a gospel
choir in the car.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, yeah, we're going to break into your car.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, well, we can't soption.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
A or the option A B was the other way around.
The choir you're like, ha ha funny, and then you
get in the car.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
One us pops out the.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Speaker, which we were still brains.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, those are the two options of that one.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I was like a reception as well, and we were
facetiming on the other end and we were playing the
song you open up the prison, you look.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Down and you see our faces. Yeah, that was the
other option.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
We could have been mad about that.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, it was like a big package me. It's the
package for you right over there. What's that you open
it up?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Our faces on FaceTime looking up at you, and they
were like, hey, Megain, we play it from somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
That was the other option.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
And we're going to change the rules next year to
be anti sebotage. I think we need to look into
this anti sabotage.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Beautiful rule after her for next year. No sebotage and
no one can sabotage us at all.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, you know, sabotage is a great nickname for her. Yeah,
she sebotaged at a lot of people very upset about it.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
On this you feel I feel just a little bit like,
I don't know deflated.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It was the way I wanted to go out, but
you had to go out someway. But then you would
have could have walked to the shop and gone, yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
That's that's natural, that's how you expect to go out.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
At least at least this out was on the radio.
That's I'm happy for that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I was wandering through Brisco's and you know, yeah, that
would have been Lake Bluster.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, so there we go. So you'll hear it.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
If you are playing the game, you're gonna you can
stop listening right now because we are going to play
some Mariah Carey.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
We'll just get out and let's all just like joy Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now we can enjoy the music. It feels like the
Runways here. We're in December, so we can play now
the full song. But you'll hear Meghan out of know
Where too. We were talking about Blond Side.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
And about it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It was dear Meghan. It was a wedding bridesmaid dilemma.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Tash called up now full credit to her and now
behind the scenes, we can talk more about this tomorrow.
But it seemed like another voice. You got a friend
on involved. They had a story for the phone.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You're what we wanted.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So yeah, our producers have been looking out for Tash
and yeah it was a different voice. So it sounds
like she got her friend to call her.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And then all of a sudden, bam. As soon as I.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Heard something playing, I was like, oh god.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Damn, you're up.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And it was a couple of SECAs were like no, no,
it's just silence from us say like little you know, yeah,
out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So there we go. This is at your hair in
just a sec.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Just mentioning before but of an issue my friend and
his fiance we're having over trying to get a burger
after after nine forty six pm when the burger joints
said it closed at ten. They walked in. My friend
was trying to prove a point. His fiance is like,
let's just not worry. They're going to not serve up
and they were cleaning the grill and they said, sorry,
we can't serve and he pushed his points and sees
your open, little dead o'clock, give me your burger. He
(03:30):
was accused of being a man Karen by his fiance
and he essentially bullied the people into making him a burger.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
People are saying on the text are going against you,
Megan going.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
With that's fine. He never owned anything saying.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The kitchen should just say over to ten.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But o, the restaurant closes at nine forty five or
nine thirty whenever they decide.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Otherwise people could get frustrated.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Like your friend, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Sometimes the kitchen closes at different times because they sit
there and waiting and waiting and waiting. So they're waiting
until everyone's like, just paid it, and then you're like, Okay,
we're going.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
To close the kitchen. Otherwise they're just standing there doing nothing, grating, waiting, waiting.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Great taste here. I'm from Las Vegas. I've had a
very difficult time getting used to early closing times here
in New Zealand. People yea, and people paid for an
hour afterwards apparently.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Okay to do the clean.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
We also have to tip in Vegas, so you get
used to the differences.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Bab okay, dear Megan, ere we go.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Damn Meghan.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Someone has slid into Meghan's d MS with a bit
of a dilemma that we want to pose to you
on one hundred the heads.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Okay, this is a bridesmaid dilemma.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm sure a lot of people have been through this situation,
it says, dear Megan, My best friend and I always
planned to be each other's bridesmaids, But now that I'm
getting married, she's hinted that she can't afford the dress,
travel or other costs. I feel terrible because I know
she's going through a tough time financially, as is everyone.
But I also really want her by my side on
(04:52):
the big day, and I was there for hers.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
What do you think? I really don't know how to
handle this, and it's just making things awkward and yucky.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Get a wealthier bridesmaid. It's the only early sensible solution.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's tough, isn't it, you know, because it's like forcing
her to like spend money that maybe she doesn't have
at the moment.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
The day is not about the dresses. The day is
about sharing your special moment with your friends and family.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Okay, was that the dresses out of the way, then, Okay,
let's say she could cover the dresses, but they're still
travel and accommodation.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
In terms of the dresses, I've always found it a
bit weird to make your bridesmaids.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, I was just thinking that when you said that.
I was wondering if I felt like that should probably
go on the people getting married.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You're doing that thing where you pick a color and
they can pick what ever dress they want, and that's fine,
but if you're making them weir a particular dress, and
I think you should have to.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I would never buy a peach colored dress and I'm
going to be left with for the rest.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Of my life.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Really, do you have a bridesmaid dress that you're like, yes,
I love it. You wear it again?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You need to look uglier than the main character.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, but yeah, you're right, Like if travels involved in
all of that, I don't think you can force someone
if they can't afford it.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Has she heard of after pain now plays a great sist.
We yourself into a financial hole and deal with the
consequences in the back end, yeah, or like.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Do you offer to like pay for her as alone?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I imagine there's a lot of costs going out though.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
If you're putting on a wedding right now, you know
you don't probably have a spear whatever to pay for
somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
And she's saying she was there for hers, but maybe
it was in a bit of financial time you know
everyone struggling at the moment.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Advice you get is a difficult conversation to broach too.
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We can't force anyone to spe money on your wedding,
but the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Stood inside your mouth.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So I was just eating.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You put your MIC's on very early. I was waiting
for the end of that song. There, Mike sighed. I
was like, oh Jesus in some salary thirty seconds ago.
I thought I had time, but quite get there.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It was nice sex.
Speaker 4 (06:49):

Speaker 4 (06:52):

to be that as a.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Pact they've made so they she said, mysend and I
always planned to be each other's bridesmaids, but now I'm
getting married. She's hinted she can't afford the dress, travel
and other costs. I feel terrible because I know she's
going through a tough time as everyone, but I also
want to by my side.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I was there for Who's what do you think she
should do?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
My option getting a wealthier bridesmaid apparently not. Apparently not
an option according to all of the teachers coming through.
Let's get me her on morning. How are you?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh, out of the game.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
She's hung up as well?
Speaker 7 (07:50):

Wow, it's incredible, incredible dog act dogt Yeah are what.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's so good.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm so sorry to everyone listening who is now out.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You're out of the game, Madey mcclean's out of the game.
The game taken down by Tasha.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I need to put it in the put it in there.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
We're going to play it with which a song? Now
she played Now it's uh, we've got to We'll get
back to de Meghan very surely. That was she is
Smartsha's played a great game. What an evil super villain?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh so good? The right Gary game.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Okay, the first official time The Hits is playing. All
I want for Christmas?
Speaker 8 (08:32):
Just rip it off, guys, IgE the Hits that Johona
wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Someone's sliding into Meghan's DMS like a snake. Now this
is an interesting one. But a bride and a bride's maid.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So good friends. They promised to beat each other's bridesmaids.
And now that one of them is getting married. Her
friend assented she can't afford it, even though she was
a bridesmaid for her friend. There is dreas travel and
other costs involved and she can't afford it. But she
doesn't know now what to say to her friend.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
A lot of text and calls on this one. Anna's
on the phone. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (09:04):
I think.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
If the bride to bee can just walk into this
with as much understanding and compassion and love as she can,
that would definitely make things a lot better. You know,
if her friend isn't in any financial position and she's
really struggling with her finances, she's already probably feeling really
bad about.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
It, you know, and you don't want the friendship to.
Speaker 10 (09:27):
Be tainted over this, and you know it doesn't need
to be awkward. And I understand the bride to be
she was her right at her wedding and it would
be really awesome if her friend could be there. But
sometimes in life things happen and we just have to
walk into it with understanding, acceptance, compassion and love.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
What do you are you a therapist or something? You're amazing?
Speaker 10 (09:52):
No, Actually, I do want to study to be a counselor.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I feel like a bitter human being just after hearing
you talk.
Speaker 11 (10:00):
Oh thanks guys, but yeah, it all comes down to
love and understanding. You know, there's things in life that
are going to pop up and happen, and all you
can do is just walk into it with love and
understanding and compassion. And you don't want the friendship to
be ruined over this.
Speaker 12 (10:14):
It's just not always and you.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Can always get new friends.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
We'll have another wedding, like that's what I did.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Those last introduces from us not as good as yours.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, you give me on the next one.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Great day you two guys. See mate, let's get Sandra on.
What would you do if you're in this position? Sandra?
Speaker 6 (10:35):
I would I feel like they told pay for the bridemaid.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh okay, because I've been a.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Bridesmaid three times and I've had to pay for the address, makeup,
everything to go swim and not do my own make up,
and I've messed out on pan positions because every other
bridesmaider is paying for it and I didn't have the money.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I really don't.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Agree with the making them pay for the dream all
the makeup, like that should all be provided that's just
how I feel if you've been made to do something,
granted it's for a friend, but you've been made to
wear a dress that maybe you wouldn't buy.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Well, I was a bride a few years ago and
I paid for all my bridesmaid stuff. If you can't
afford heat, just to sue, but there's a part of
your way cock.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Yeah, good on you, Good on youon good thoughts to Sandra. James,
you've got an alternate, You've got an option here?
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Yes, I do. Hey, I was just thinking they could
go ahead with the original ceremony, the big ceremony, and
then have an intimate, intimate ceremony when they get back
with close, close family and friends. Maybe get a cheap
dress from an option or something.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Double ceremony.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Your friend can be the bridesmaid of that one.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, no one, No one talks about the
proper one. Raining It was terrible. Uncle was drunk. James, good, you've.
Speaker 12 (11:58):
Got at least two chances of good.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
So, Yeah, that's true, and.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
You James, love your thought. Thanks for phoning into the show.
Appreciate it now after you've heard the spectrum and feedback.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Megan, I think they're right.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Either you're going to have to pay for her or
you're going to have like a sit down conversation. And
just like she said, b understanding, I don't think you
can force anyone to pay for anything, especially if they're
not in the financial situation. And you don't want to
lose your friend over it, because trust me, I've had
two weddings.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Friends will come and go.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Did you have different bridesmaids of these wedding? I did
mix it up, baby.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
And like there was very few people that were at
the second wedding that were at the first.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
More about me, Yeah, that's often the case, though, you're right,
who are the bit of bridesmaids?
Speaker 8 (12:41):
The heads that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Frend the Zimba now and of course are really in
the party season. There's a lot of social functions going
along and going on, and we wanted to learn a
party trek for party season. Costantino Australian magician who is
touring the country right now. He is incredible and he
taught us a party trek that we are going to
perform at a show this weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I forgot that it is beginning Saturday.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
We have not practiced enough measure test magic to four
four eight seven.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
If you want to come along, we've got some tickets
to come see us fail abysmally in front of hundreds
of people.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Just to give you the headlines of the trick, it's
a pack of cards. You pick a card and then
it ends up you stab a knife through the person's
card and show them the card. Mind blown stuff. Now
we've turned it into a three person a bit of
a three person theatrical play.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
But to show busas where we have stuff done, I
think so.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
So last week we managed to find the Prime Minister.
They're wandering amilessly through the building, nothing to do. He lost,
but come and see a magic track. He's like, all right,
I'll take ten minutes out of my day for that,
and he did. And we thought we were going to
wow one. And here's the end of the track where
I revealed the card.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Your card, Prime Minister.
Speaker 13 (13:53):
No oh god, I'm lucky. Yeah, ten more days to go.
(14:18):
You got it on the third fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's not too bad, yes, so not not the greatest attempt.
So over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I love this petty things.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You keep it on the tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, so that was you know, five minutes of his day.
You won't get back.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So I tried to impress my wife yesterday I had
the cards. I tried to do it, and I was
very slow through the through the stage.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
No, you've got to raise matas.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Very analytical. She was very watching as I went. And
so here's the end of it.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Now beat some stuff because she started pecking holes in
the track and she actually she actually discovered some of
the things she's not mean to discover.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Soder, Is this your card?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (15:01):
I did it, but I know because before when you
were spreading out all the cards, I saw you yes
years and also when you were holding the cards, I
could see that you must have been cheated.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
No, it wasn't. There wasn't.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Don't don't watch it closely.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I'm just.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Cut Mike.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
There's a lot of like she was a hang on
this but there, and hang on this but there.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
My god, if you if you just played this part,
is this is your card?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Textbook magic track?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
That's why you were just doing the reveal at the end.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, I know, I'm a bit slow through those other stages. Actually,
we saw what you saw in the flesh are a
pretty amazing party.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Trick.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Didn't you have the weekend?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Friday night you were seeing an event, went to Blenham
and I saw a man put the bottom end of
a wine bottle inside his mouth, thinking the.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Whole wine bottle.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Sometimes you wonder, you think to yourself, have we evolved
as a human race? And then I witnessed a man
putting a wine bottle inside his mouth, and I think,
yes we have.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
So the first thing I thought was can I do that?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
How did he get there? I don't know how he
got there, but it was I had to kind of
like rap his It was a great party track. And
maybe it's not too late to do that on stage
for one of us, handy just in case, this is
your card. No, but can you see me each have
a wine bottle? Oh that's a good joke.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
It was.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
If anyone from another galaxy lands, firstly, we'll be like, welcome,
We're lovely to have you here. Take a look at
this guy the hats.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
We've all had those moments where you've probably been asked
by your wives to get something that's a little bit embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
It's probably not what you think. I had a text
from my husband who was out.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
He was going to a chemist and he's like, do
you need last minute last calls for anything?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
And I say I knew I needed something, but I
was like, I don't want to ask. I don't want
to ask him for it.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
What was the them?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
It was, I don't even believe I'm going to tell
you that's on the radio. Some wax strips.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Okay, your lip, oh, you mustache?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Okay, they just want.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
They do And I was like, run out and he
doesn't even know that I do that.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
You do well?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Okay, Well you're really okay.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I mean you could sell it and go I feel
like you need to wax your mustache.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yeah, and the growing his back so.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
That he's got a little mustache in the moment, like
a head.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There's a little gago prison, a gag for someone so
on that.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Like I took a photo of the box and I
was like, come on, like it's your husband, you can
do it, mate. I was like, Bagger, I will just
do it. But on the box it just sees facial strips.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
You go like eyebrows, off your eyebrows the but now
will get rid of it. We've loved your mustache. Great.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I was like, great, Megans getting him on board this year,
so it's great.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Actually, I used to have a friend.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Was a mustache watch and we had an amnesty. I
was like, you have to whisper in my ear if
I get a mustache, So one of you have to
take over that role.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
The mustache guy.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
You're probably closest to.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
No, there's no mustache today.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I seen him a picture and he just ticks back,
but you don't even a mustache. And I was like,
well I will if you don't get the.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
The correct response.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Yeah, yeah, it was Yeah, so that's happening. You'll be
pleased to know no mustache.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
We don't know you from caning. That was a monopoly
guy for a second.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Charlie Chaplin, don't be jealous of all the here I'm growing.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Yeah, the heads that johnaan Ben podcast is.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
About something because my friend and his fiance so they
went to see Wicked, which a lot of people are
doing now, sung their way through a screening of Wicked,
no doubt, at the top of their lungs, exactly aggravating
people who just want to watch a movie. But then
afterwards it was after nine o'clock and they were hungry,
so he suggested that they go and get some food
(19:23):
from a burger joint. Right, okay. They walk to the
burger joint, it's seas on. The door closes at ten. Okay,
So his fiance she's like, oh, they're not going to
make burgers now, So what time you reckon it would do?
It was a nine to forty six, he said, closing
it ten. She's like, they're not going to make burgers now?
He said, why those other are open at ten o'clock?
Started getting quite tense. So now he's on a point
(19:44):
proving mission. So he walks and then the first thing
he sees is one of the employees scrubbing the grill,
you know, scrubbing away his hopes and dreams of a hamburger.
But again, he's wanting to prove a point. He's like, hey,
we'll just he didn't even acknowledge the fact they were
cleaning up. We'll just take two of those things, couple
of fries and a couple of milkshakes. The employee tunes
around like, oh, we're just we're just cleaning up and
(20:05):
closing up.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
For the kitchens closed.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah, He's like, why say you're open? The inevitable conversation
comes up. You can, and he can tell that. His
fiance is like mm hmmmm, and so then he gets
into a back and forth. He's like, just say you
close it at nine forty six if you're gonna if
you're not going to cook burgers, and you say you're
op teen. It's a burger restaurant, nothing else.
Speaker 15 (20:27):
I see both sides of the coand beIN walks, and
he's like, that's nicely one side.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
What's one side of you jumping on the restaurant?
Speaker 16 (20:41):
Why why are they say they're open because people can
sit there and eat the burgers until ten, but it
takes ages clean the kitchen and then if someone orders
at nine forty six, we've got to keep the kitchen open.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
And gets pushed a way later.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Anyway, he bullied this guy to make got the He
got the results.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Meaning the griller such a they reserved the right to
close the kitchen whenever they want.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
And you never really want food prepared by someone with
a vin takes four for seven. If you're there at
for nine to forty six and the season closes a TENA,
you're still entitled to your burger.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Give the hospitality industry a break.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Yeah, the hits that Joan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Leaking through a Right. It was good.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, it was bussy.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I went to Auckland f C first get, first time
we ever been along to see them, and but just
a grace. I thought I'd bring you in because you've
you've gone nuts for Orkland f C.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I love Auckland f C. It was my boyfriend who
got me into them because we're winning so much and
really like, now.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Did anyone can see a goal again? So the whole
season they've not lost a game and they've not had
a goal.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Con was a goal scored by the other team but
at the laf side and they got taken off. Yeah
so yeah, so another one for even terrible conditions. It's
really really cool, Like first time I've been along there,
and they're crowd and they've got the port the area
of the fans and they're just singing, chanting, and it's
really cool.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
They don't sit down the whole time, and I'm sitting
beside them and I'm like, I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I like sitting.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
They did one with everyone turned around and faced the
other way. I didn't know what was happening there though,
I was so in the area. The best of the game,
they all like and they were chanting something. I couldn't
quite hear that.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
So, yeah, I couldn't hear it. I was right beside them. Yeah,
they chant the whole time. Where did these people come from?
Because they're suddenly like die hard fans?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I think just football in Auckland. I mean New Zealand,
you know, has got a lot of football fans, and
we haven't had many teams. I mean, the Phoenix were awesome,
but it's great to have another team in Auckland.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, so were you soggy? We were out in the trenches.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
I was so soggy. My feet every time I walked
with squeak and I like, I'm getting.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
A cold from being squeaky. It's squeaky feet, so squeaky.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's good fun though.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's great atmosphere, so if you get to go along,
even the well, I mean we ended up meant to
be the wet but we managed to sneak o away
to the.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Back of the stands.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Really, we tried to get up there and they were.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Like no, and the Phoenix too. Great atmosphere, the Phoenix.
You take your tops off at the Phoenix, don't you
swing your swing your shoot around.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
If you shootless people at the end of the game
too as well. I think it's a football thing.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I don't know why people have taken the top tops
off at the football clothing optional in the stands of
the football. I went to blen him on Friday and
probably the low of my weekend. I know, we do
the high low Buffalo and not going to blend him,
but the low was sitting at the airport and the
plane was delayed, not overly, but I was evesdropping on
a guy telling a story next to me, and he
(23:38):
sat down and he's like, how are you going to
his colleague and the colleague said, obviously better than you,
because what happened to you in Colombia? And he's like,
I know, I know, and he was like, how long
were you detained for? He was like, oh, it was
about a week or so. I'm just I'm just glad
I didn't get into the because if I fell into
the prison system, I probably wouldn't be out. And then
(24:00):
they were like boarding for the night to leave without
knowing what had happened to this how he had been detained,
what had gone on where there's smuggling.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
I should have just tapped on the shoulder, be like, look,
I have to board and I'm so key to please
tell me what you did.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
So I don't know listening, just text and just tell
me what you did smuggling you know, exotic high end
fashion brand glasses, eggs and snaky eggs. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I'd love to know the hats that johnaan Ben Podcasts.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
We just heard the news very scary situation a driver
in Melbourne in Australia. She was on the motorway and
she had to make an unexpected stop because there was
a snake in her car and it started slithering up
her leg.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Not just like any old snake. It was a tiger snake,
which can kill you.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah. Now this is this ties into the heart wrenching
tale we heard on Friday of an innocent radio host
who had a bee crawl up her leg and didn't sting,
didn't snake.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, but the latest But she's okay, suspected snake, but
she's doing well. But you're only saying it's poisonous. But hey,
you got well.

Remember a sick bee that might have been on the
end up and give a little page three. Over the weekend,
a couple of hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, but a therapy.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
They But that is a crazy story, isn't.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
It, Because it's like when anything's in your car. You're

It was a really hot day and my earcorn wasn't working,
so I had my windows down and.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
It just flew in.
Speaker 4 (26:22):

I know, you know we met that guy there was
a lovely gentleman and he had nursed the seagull back
from injury. Oh yeah, and we went out and filmed
a thing with him when I all go meet that
because it basically became his pet. So he would walk
and the seagull would sit on his shoulder, his shoulder
or I would walk alongside him. That seagull did not
like me.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
A mad guy was a madie.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, you keep getting it's weird.

you know that magpie Jesus didn't like me. You were
attacking me, like biting my heels and stuff. I was like, mate,

animals attacking people and cars. Actually think of us over

about to drive your car into the lion and a
lot of potentially attacking you.

I have no idea. I don't know if one might
have just got in its way or I don't know,

You two the hits the John and Ben Podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Now we'd like to start our show worth trying to
get ten out of ten in the New Zealand hero
a daily quiz doesn't happen too often. As soon as
we get one answer wrong, we're out.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Physical and mental test of agility all end up very
sweaty by the end of this now producing really the
quiz queen a way today. Migraines from too much quizzing.
So we've got a stand in quiz Queen Grace. Producer Grace,
you said this is gettable during that TD swim song.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
I do think it's gettable. But last time I was
quiz Queen, I think you got out on the first one.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
We do.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
All right, we've had a bad history. Here we go.
Question number one.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
What was Amazon Prime Video originally called Amazon TV, Amazon Video,
Amazon unboxed.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Amazon Video.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, I would say Amazon Video.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I'ld lock an Amazon Video. I have no idea. I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's in confident the confidence.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Okay, you're incorrect. Okay, you're not to be quiz Queen anymore?
More on me? Yeah too?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Wait what was it?
Speaker 8 (32:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:52):
It was unboxed.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Really that's a dum name. Let's go Amazon Video changed.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It anyway, but done. No one will be happier than
our boss. So we didn't get to talk for too long. Yeah,
or over?
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And can we do the out of interest question?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
We can't out of it?
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Just ons that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
It has been lost on an internet whole and it
was just a bit of clickbait. We're scrolling through your
TikTok feed. Just moments ago, the Amigan and one got
me about McDonald's. Now, this is really interesting. McDonald's they
say it is not a fast food restaurant, it's a
real estate company. Now here's some facts, hard facts and
(33:36):
figures copied and pasted from Instagram. Okay, what did we
do for radio before before Instagram?
Speaker 7 (33:42):
What did we do.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Encyclopedias?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Yeah, true, nel Britannica, it was loyal. Never let anyone
down to that, that's true. But yeah, Ronald McDonald basically
just the landlord and a clown suit. Essentially about forty
forty two billion dollars in real estate. They have worldwide billion.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Wow, that is crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
So they've got over nearly forty two thousand restaurants internationally.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Have you seen the movie The Founder?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
No, explains the story of the guy that basically he
kind of in a way shafted those two brothers that
started the first McDonald's ended up franchising it, but he
was the guy that ended up buying the real estate,
and so he became their landlord in a lot of ways.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
And then he franchised and.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Started making the business model where he took it over
and became like a real estate company as well as Yeah,
so now he would buy the real estate, and then
the people would build the McDonald's on the real estate
that he would own, so the people that own the
franchises would never own the real estate.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
So yeah, that's his deal because then he charges the
franchisee who owns the McDonalds, say locally, and then they
have to pay rent.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, Ray Kroc was his name, and in some ways
he was an entrepreneur genius, but in other ways you
feel really sorry if it's one hundred percent create the
movie to these brothers that started the McDonald brothers that
started the.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
Business still uses the name.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, they got two million dollars payout or something I
think from him, and which in those days was a
lot of money, but now you think that's nothing.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, signing over McDonald's some excercies between thirty and one
hundred billion dollars. All the real estate meta for McDonald's,
and they always you'll notice it is here. There are
always prime locations, high traffic areas and also near landmarks
in cities as well. So you think about all the
McDonald's and you've one near you, like, jeez, that is
(35:30):
prime real estate. They own that crazy, absolutely wild.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
It's really fair though, yeah, smart, Yeah exactly. It's a
really really fascinating movie. Actually that the founder. So if
you haven't seen it, watch it.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
I reckon. Yeah, so happy meals, getting happy mortgage payments
from the franchisees. It's all coming at McDonald's.

were this, Yeah, we're gonna get out this week and
we're going to wait in the car park where you park,
and one of us was going to pop out with
a bluetooth speaker of playing it and you'd be like
ha ha ha. Then we're like, oh, that's done. Then

One us pops out the.
Speaker 4 (01:00):

I was like a reception as well, and we were
facetiming on the other end and we were playing the
song you open up the prison, you look.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Down and you see our faces. Yeah, that was the
other option.

package for you right over there. What's that you open
it up?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Our faces on FaceTime looking up at you, and they
were like, hey, Megain, we play it from somewhere else.

Beautiful rule after her for next year. No sebotage and
no one can sabotage us at all.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, you know, sabotage is a great nickname for her. Yeah,
she sebotaged at a lot of people very upset about it.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
On this you feel I feel just a little bit like,
I don't know deflated.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It was the way I wanted to go out, but
you had to go out someway. But then you would
have could have walked to the shop and gone, yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
That's that's natural, that's how you expect to go out.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
At least at least this out was on the radio.
That's I'm happy for that.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I was wandering through Brisco's and you know, yeah, that
would have been Lake Bluster.

stop listening right now because we are going to play
some Mariah Carey.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
We'll just get out and let's all just like joy Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now we can enjoy the music. It feels like the
Runways here. We're in December, so we can play now
the full song. But you'll hear Meghan out of know
Where too. We were talking about Blond Side.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
And about it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It was dear Meghan. It was a wedding bridesmaid dilemma.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Tash called up now full credit to her and now
behind the scenes, we can talk more about this tomorrow.
But it seemed like another voice. You got a friend
on involved. They had a story for the phone.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You're what we wanted.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So yeah, our producers have been looking out for Tash
and yeah it was a different voice. So it sounds
like she got her friend to call her.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And then all of a sudden, bam. As soon as I.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Heard something playing, I was like, oh god.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Damn, you're up.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And it was a couple of SECAs were like no, no,
it's just silence from us say like little you know, yeah,
out of nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
So there we go. This is at your hair in
just a sec.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Just mentioning before but of an issue my friend and
his fiance we're having over trying to get a burger
after after nine forty six pm when the burger joints
said it closed at ten. They walked in. My friend
was trying to prove a point. His fiance is like,
let's just not worry. They're going to not serve up
and they were cleaning the grill and they said, sorry,
we can't serve and he pushed his points and sees
your open, little dead o'clock, give me your burger. He
(03:30):
was accused of being a man Karen by his fiance
and he essentially bullied the people into making him a burger.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
People are saying on the text are going against you,
Megan going.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
With that's fine. He never owned anything saying.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
The kitchen should just say over to ten.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
But o, the restaurant closes at nine forty five or
nine thirty whenever they decide.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Otherwise people could get frustrated.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Like your friend, here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Sometimes the kitchen closes at different times because they sit
there and waiting and waiting and waiting. So they're waiting
until everyone's like, just paid it, and then you're like, Okay,
we're going.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
To close the kitchen. Otherwise they're just standing there doing nothing, grating, waiting, waiting.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Great taste here. I'm from Las Vegas. I've had a
very difficult time getting used to early closing times here
in New Zealand. People yea, and people paid for an
hour afterwards apparently.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Okay to do the clean.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
We also have to tip in Vegas, so you get
used to the differences.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Bab okay, dear Megan, ere we go.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Damn Meghan.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Someone has slid into Meghan's d MS with a bit
of a dilemma that we want to pose to you
on one hundred the heads.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Okay, this is a bridesmaid dilemma.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm sure a lot of people have been through this situation,
it says, dear Megan, My best friend and I always
planned to be each other's bridesmaids, But now that I'm
getting married, she's hinted that she can't afford the dress,
travel or other costs. I feel terrible because I know
she's going through a tough time financially, as is everyone.
But I also really want her by my side on
(04:52):
the big day, and I was there for hers.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
What do you think? I really don't know how to
handle this, and it's just making things awkward and yucky.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Get a wealthier bridesmaid. It's the only early sensible solution.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's tough, isn't it, you know, because it's like forcing
her to like spend money that maybe she doesn't have
at the moment.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
The day is not about the dresses. The day is
about sharing your special moment with your friends and family.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Okay, was that the dresses out of the way, then, Okay,
let's say she could cover the dresses, but they're still
travel and accommodation.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Right.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
In terms of the dresses, I've always found it a
bit weird to make your bridesmaids.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, I was just thinking that when you said that.
I was wondering if I felt like that should probably
go on the people getting married.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You're doing that thing where you pick a color and
they can pick what ever dress they want, and that's fine,
but if you're making them weir a particular dress, and
I think you should have to.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I would never buy a peach colored dress and I'm
going to be left with for the rest.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Of my life.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Really, do you have a bridesmaid dress that you're like, yes,
I love it. You wear it again?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You need to look uglier than the main character.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, but yeah, you're right, Like if travels involved in
all of that, I don't think you can force someone
if they can't afford it.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Has she heard of after pain now plays a great sist.
We yourself into a financial hole and deal with the
consequences in the back end, yeah, or like.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Do you offer to like pay for her as alone?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I imagine there's a lot of costs going out though.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
If you're putting on a wedding right now, you know
you don't probably have a spear whatever to pay for
somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
And she's saying she was there for hers, but maybe
it was in a bit of financial time you know
everyone struggling at the moment.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Advice you get is a difficult conversation to broach too.
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We can't force anyone to spe money on your wedding,
but the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Stood inside your mouth.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So I was just eating.
Speaker 1 (06:38):

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Pact they've made so they she said, mysend and I
always planned to be each other's bridesmaids, but now I'm
getting married. She's hinted she can't afford the dress, travel
and other costs. I feel terrible because I know she's
going through a tough time as everyone, but I also
want to by my side.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I was there for Who's what do you think she
should do?
Speaker 4 (07:20):
My option getting a wealthier bridesmaid apparently not. Apparently not
an option according to all of the teachers coming through.
Let's get me her on morning. How are you?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh, out of the game.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
She's hung up as well?

Wow, it's incredible, incredible dog act dogt Yeah are what.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's so good.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm so sorry to everyone listening who is now out.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
You're out of the game, Madey mcclean's out of the game.
The game taken down by Tasha.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
I need to put it in the put it in there.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
We're going to play it with which a song? Now
she played Now it's uh, we've got to We'll get

Smartsha's played a great game. What an evil super villain?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Oh so good? The right Gary game.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Okay, the first official time The Hits is playing. All
I want for Christmas?
Speaker 8 (08:32):
Just rip it off, guys, IgE the Hits that Johona
wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Someone's sliding into Meghan's DMS like a snake. Now this
is an interesting one. But a bride and a bride's maid.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So good friends. They promised to beat each other's bridesmaids.
And now that one of them is getting married. Her
friend assented she can't afford it, even though she was
a bridesmaid for her friend. There is dreas travel and
other costs involved and she can't afford it. But she
doesn't know now what to say to her friend.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
A lot of text and calls on this one. Anna's
on the phone. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (09:04):
I think.
Speaker 10 (09:07):
If the bride to bee can just walk into this
with as much understanding and compassion and love as she can,
that would definitely make things a lot better. You know,
if her friend isn't in any financial position and she's
really struggling with her finances, she's already probably feeling really
bad about.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
It, you know, and you don't want the friendship to.
Speaker 10 (09:27):
Be tainted over this, and you know it doesn't need
to be awkward. And I understand the bride to be
she was her right at her wedding and it would
be really awesome if her friend could be there. But
sometimes in life things happen and we just have to
walk into it with understanding, acceptance, compassion and love.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
What do you are you a therapist or something? You're amazing?
Speaker 10 (09:52):
No, Actually, I do want to study to be a counselor.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I feel like a bitter human being just after hearing
you talk.
Speaker 11 (10:00):
Oh thanks guys, but yeah, it all comes down to
love and understanding. You know, there's things in life that
are going to pop up and happen, and all you
can do is just walk into it with love and
understanding and compassion. And you don't want the friendship to
be ruined over this.
Speaker 12 (10:14):
It's just not always and you.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Can always get new friends.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
We'll have another wedding, like that's what I did.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Those last introduces from us not as good as yours.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, you give me on the next one.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Great day you two guys. See mate, let's get Sandra on.
What would you do if you're in this position? Sandra?
Speaker 6 (10:35):
I would I feel like they told pay for the bridemaid.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Oh okay, because I've been a.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Bridesmaid three times and I've had to pay for the address, makeup,
everything to go swim and not do my own make up,
and I've messed out on pan positions because every other
bridesmaider is paying for it and I didn't have the money.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I really don't.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Agree with the making them pay for the dream all
the makeup, like that should all be provided that's just
how I feel if you've been made to do something,
granted it's for a friend, but you've been made to
wear a dress that maybe you wouldn't buy.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Well, I was a bride a few years ago and
I paid for all my bridesmaid stuff. If you can't
afford heat, just to sue, but there's a part of
your way cock.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Yeah, good on you, Good on youon good thoughts to Sandra. James,
you've got an alternate, You've got an option here?
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Yes, I do. Hey, I was just thinking they could
go ahead with the original ceremony, the big ceremony, and
then have an intimate, intimate ceremony when they get back
with close, close family and friends. Maybe get a cheap
dress from an option or something.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Double ceremony.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Your friend can be the bridesmaid of that one.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, exactly, Yeah, no one, No one talks about the
proper one. Raining It was terrible. Uncle was drunk. James, good, you've.
Speaker 12 (11:58):
Got at least two chances of good.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
So, Yeah, that's true, and.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
You James, love your thought. Thanks for phoning into the show.
Appreciate it now after you've heard the spectrum and feedback.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Megan, I think they're right.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Either you're going to have to pay for her or
you're going to have like a sit down conversation. And
just like she said, b understanding, I don't think you
can force anyone to pay for anything, especially if they're
not in the financial situation. And you don't want to
lose your friend over it, because trust me, I've had
two weddings.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Friends will come and go.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Did you have different bridesmaids of these wedding? I did
mix it up, baby.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
And like there was very few people that were at
the second wedding that were at the first.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
More about me, Yeah, that's often the case, though, you're right,
who are the bit of bridesmaids?
Speaker 8 (12:41):
The heads that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Frend the Zimba now and of course are really in
the party season. There's a lot of social functions going
along and going on, and we wanted to learn a
party trek for party season. Costantino Australian magician who is
touring the country right now. He is incredible and he
taught us a party trek that we are going to
perform at a show this weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I forgot that it is beginning Saturday.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
We have not practiced enough measure test magic to four
four eight seven.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
If you want to come along, we've got some tickets
to come see us fail abysmally in front of hundreds
of people.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Just to give you the headlines of the trick, it's
a pack of cards. You pick a card and then
it ends up you stab a knife through the person's
card and show them the card. Mind blown stuff. Now
we've turned it into a three person a bit of
a three person theatrical play.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
But to show busas where we have stuff done, I
think so.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
So last week we managed to find the Prime Minister.
They're wandering amilessly through the building, nothing to do. He lost,
but come and see a magic track. He's like, all right,
I'll take ten minutes out of my day for that,
and he did. And we thought we were going to
wow one. And here's the end of the track where
I revealed the card.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Your card, Prime Minister.
Speaker 13 (13:53):
No oh god, I'm lucky. Yeah, ten more days to go.
(14:18):
You got it on the third fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's not too bad, yes, so not not the greatest attempt.
So over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I love this petty things.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
You keep it on the tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, so that was you know, five minutes of his day.
You won't get back.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So I tried to impress my wife yesterday I had
the cards. I tried to do it, and I was
very slow through the through the stage.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
No, you've got to raise matas.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Very analytical. She was very watching as I went. And
so here's the end of it.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Now beat some stuff because she started pecking holes in
the track and she actually she actually discovered some of
the things she's not mean to discover.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Soder, Is this your card?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (15:01):
I did it, but I know because before when you
were spreading out all the cards, I saw you yes
years and also when you were holding the cards, I
could see that you must have been cheated.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
No, it wasn't. There wasn't.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Don't don't watch it closely.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I'm just.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
Cut Mike.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
There's a lot of like she was a hang on
this but there, and hang on this but there.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
My god, if you if you just played this part,
is this is your card?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Textbook magic track?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
That's why you were just doing the reveal at the end.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, I know, I'm a bit slow through those other stages. Actually,
we saw what you saw in the flesh are a
pretty amazing party.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Trick.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Didn't you have the weekend?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Friday night you were seeing an event, went to Blenham
and I saw a man put the bottom end of
a wine bottle inside his mouth, thinking the.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Whole wine bottle.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Sometimes you wonder, you think to yourself, have we evolved
as a human race? And then I witnessed a man
putting a wine bottle inside his mouth, and I think,
yes we have.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
So the first thing I thought was can I do that?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
How did he get there? I don't know how he
got there, but it was I had to kind of
like rap his It was a great party track. And
maybe it's not too late to do that on stage
for one of us, handy just in case, this is
your card. No, but can you see me each have
a wine bottle? Oh that's a good joke.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
It was.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
If anyone from another galaxy lands, firstly, we'll be like, welcome,
We're lovely to have you here. Take a look at
this guy the hats.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
We've all had those moments where you've probably been asked
by your wives to get something that's a little bit embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
It's probably not what you think. I had a text
from my husband who was out.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
He was going to a chemist and he's like, do
you need last minute last calls for anything?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
And I say I knew I needed something, but I
was like, I don't want to ask. I don't want
to ask him for it.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
What was the them?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
It was, I don't even believe I'm going to tell
you that's on the radio. Some wax strips.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Okay, your lip, oh, you mustache?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Okay, they just want.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
They do And I was like, run out and he
doesn't even know that I do that.
Speaker 8 (17:25):
You do well?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Okay, Well you're really okay.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I mean you could sell it and go I feel
like you need to wax your mustache.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yeah, and the growing his back so.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
That he's got a little mustache in the moment, like
a head.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
There's a little gago prison, a gag for someone so
on that.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Like I took a photo of the box and I
was like, come on, like it's your husband, you can
do it, mate. I was like, Bagger, I will just
do it. But on the box it just sees facial strips.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
You go like eyebrows, off your eyebrows the but now
will get rid of it. We've loved your mustache. Great.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I was like, great, Megans getting him on board this year,
so it's great.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Actually, I used to have a friend.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Was a mustache watch and we had an amnesty. I
was like, you have to whisper in my ear if
I get a mustache, So one of you have to
take over that role.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
The mustache guy.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
You're probably closest to.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
No, there's no mustache today.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I seen him a picture and he just ticks back,
but you don't even a mustache. And I was like,
well I will if you don't get the.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
The correct response.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Yeah, yeah, it was Yeah, so that's happening. You'll be
pleased to know no mustache.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
We don't know you from caning. That was a monopoly
guy for a second.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Charlie Chaplin, don't be jealous of all the here I'm growing.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Yeah, the heads that johnaan Ben podcast is.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
About something because my friend and his fiance so they
went to see Wicked, which a lot of people are
doing now, sung their way through a screening of Wicked,
no doubt, at the top of their lungs, exactly aggravating
people who just want to watch a movie. But then
afterwards it was after nine o'clock and they were hungry,
so he suggested that they go and get some food
(19:23):
from a burger joint. Right, okay. They walk to the
burger joint, it's seas on. The door closes at ten. Okay,
So his fiance she's like, oh, they're not going to
make burgers now, So what time you reckon it would do?
It was a nine to forty six, he said, closing
it ten. She's like, they're not going to make burgers now?
He said, why those other are open at ten o'clock?
Started getting quite tense. So now he's on a point
(19:44):
proving mission. So he walks and then the first thing
he sees is one of the employees scrubbing the grill,
you know, scrubbing away his hopes and dreams of a hamburger.
But again, he's wanting to prove a point. He's like, hey,
we'll just he didn't even acknowledge the fact they were
cleaning up. We'll just take two of those things, couple
of fries and a couple of milkshakes. The employee tunes
around like, oh, we're just we're just cleaning up and
(20:05):
closing up.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
For the kitchens closed.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah, He's like, why say you're open? The inevitable conversation
comes up. You can, and he can tell that. His
fiance is like mm hmmmm, and so then he gets
into a back and forth. He's like, just say you
close it at nine forty six if you're gonna if
you're not going to cook burgers, and you say you're
op teen. It's a burger restaurant, nothing else.
Speaker 15 (20:27):
I see both sides of the coand beIN walks, and
he's like, that's nicely one side.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
What's one side of you jumping on the restaurant?
Speaker 16 (20:41):
Why why are they say they're open because people can
sit there and eat the burgers until ten, but it
takes ages clean the kitchen and then if someone orders
at nine forty six, we've got to keep the kitchen open.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
And gets pushed a way later.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Anyway, he bullied this guy to make got the He
got the results.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Meaning the griller such a they reserved the right to
close the kitchen whenever they want.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
And you never really want food prepared by someone with
a vin takes four for seven. If you're there at
for nine to forty six and the season closes a TENA,
you're still entitled to your burger.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Give the hospitality industry a break.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Yeah, the hits that Joan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Leaking through a Right. It was good.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, it was bussy.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I went to Auckland f C first get, first time
we ever been along to see them, and but just
a grace. I thought I'd bring you in because you've
you've gone nuts for Orkland f C.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
I love Auckland f C. It was my boyfriend who
got me into them because we're winning so much and
really like, now.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Did anyone can see a goal again? So the whole
season they've not lost a game and they've not had
a goal.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Con was a goal scored by the other team but
at the laf side and they got taken off. Yeah
so yeah, so another one for even terrible conditions. It's
really really cool, Like first time I've been along there,
and they're crowd and they've got the port the area
of the fans and they're just singing, chanting, and it's
really cool.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
They don't sit down the whole time, and I'm sitting
beside them and I'm like, I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I like sitting.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
They did one with everyone turned around and faced the
other way. I didn't know what was happening there though,
I was so in the area. The best of the game,
they all like and they were chanting something. I couldn't
quite hear that.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
So, yeah, I couldn't hear it. I was right beside them. Yeah,
they chant the whole time. Where did these people come from?
Because they're suddenly like die hard fans?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I think just football in Auckland. I mean New Zealand,
you know, has got a lot of football fans, and
we haven't had many teams. I mean, the Phoenix were awesome,
but it's great to have another team in Auckland.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, so were you soggy? We were out in the trenches.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
I was so soggy. My feet every time I walked
with squeak and I like, I'm getting.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
A cold from being squeaky. It's squeaky feet, so squeaky.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's good fun though.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's great atmosphere, so if you get to go along,
even the well, I mean we ended up meant to
be the wet but we managed to sneak o away
to the.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Back of the stands.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Really, we tried to get up there and they were.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Like no, and the Phoenix too. Great atmosphere, the Phoenix.
You take your tops off at the Phoenix, don't you
swing your swing your shoot around.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
If you shootless people at the end of the game
too as well. I think it's a football thing.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I don't know why people have taken the top tops
off at the football clothing optional in the stands of
the football. I went to blen him on Friday and
probably the low of my weekend. I know, we do
the high low Buffalo and not going to blend him,
but the low was sitting at the airport and the
plane was delayed, not overly, but I was evesdropping on
a guy telling a story next to me, and he
(23:38):
sat down and he's like, how are you going to
his colleague and the colleague said, obviously better than you,
because what happened to you in Colombia? And he's like,
I know, I know, and he was like, how long
were you detained for? He was like, oh, it was
about a week or so. I'm just I'm just glad
I didn't get into the because if I fell into
the prison system, I probably wouldn't be out. And then
(24:00):
they were like boarding for the night to leave without
knowing what had happened to this how he had been detained,
what had gone on where there's smuggling.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
I should have just tapped on the shoulder, be like, look,
I have to board and I'm so key to please
tell me what you did.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
So I don't know listening, just text and just tell
me what you did smuggling you know, exotic high end
fashion brand glasses, eggs and snaky eggs. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (24:24):

We just heard the news very scary situation a driver
in Melbourne in Australia. She was on the motorway and
she had to make an unexpected stop because there was
a snake in her car and it started slithering up
her leg.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Not just like any old snake. It was a tiger snake,
which can kill you.
Speaker 4 (24:46):

tale we heard on Friday of an innocent radio host
who had a bee crawl up her leg and didn't sting,
didn't snake.

Yeah, but the latest But she's okay, suspected snake, but
she's doing well. But you're only saying it's poisonous. But hey,

end up and give a little page three. Over the weekend,
a couple of hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, but a therapy.
Speaker 4 (25:18):

I know, you know we met that guy there was
a lovely gentleman and he had nursed the seagull back
from injury. Oh yeah, and we went out and filmed
a thing with him when I all go meet that
because it basically became his pet. So he would walk
and the seagull would sit on his shoulder, his shoulder
or I would walk alongside him. That seagull did not
like me.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
A mad guy was a madie.

I missed into the seagull. It was a magpie, but
you know that magpie Jesus didn't like me. You were
attacking me, like biting my heels and stuff. I was like, mate,

animals attacking people and cars. Actually think of us over

You two the hits the John and Ben Podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Now we'd like to start our show worth trying to
get ten out of ten in the New Zealand hero
a daily quiz doesn't happen too often. As soon as
we get one answer wrong, we're out.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Physical and mental test of agility all end up very
sweaty by the end of this now producing really the
quiz queen a way today. Migraines from too much quizzing.
So we've got a stand in quiz Queen Grace. Producer Grace,
you said this is gettable during that TD swim song.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
I do think it's gettable. But last time I was
quiz Queen, I think you got out on the first one.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
We do.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
All right, we've had a bad history. Here we go.
Question number one.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
What was Amazon Prime Video originally called Amazon TV, Amazon Video,
Amazon unboxed.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Amazon Video.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Yeah, I would say Amazon Video.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I'ld lock an Amazon Video. I have no idea. I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It's in confident the confidence.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Okay, you're incorrect. Okay, you're not to be quiz Queen anymore?
More on me? Yeah too?
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Wait what was it?
Speaker 8 (32:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:52):
It was unboxed.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Really that's a dum name. Let's go Amazon Video changed.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
It anyway, but done. No one will be happier than
our boss. So we didn't get to talk for too long. Yeah,
or over?
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And can we do the out of interest question?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
We can't out of it?
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Just ons that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
It has been lost on an internet whole and it
was just a bit of clickbait. We're scrolling through your
TikTok feed. Just moments ago, the Amigan and one got
me about McDonald's. Now, this is really interesting. McDonald's they
say it is not a fast food restaurant, it's a
real estate company. Now here's some facts, hard facts and
(33:36):
figures copied and pasted from Instagram. Okay, what did we
do for radio before before Instagram?
Speaker 7 (33:42):
What did we do.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Encyclopedias?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Yeah, true, nel Britannica, it was loyal. Never let anyone
down to that, that's true. But yeah, Ronald McDonald basically
just the landlord and a clown suit. Essentially about forty
forty two billion dollars in real estate. They have worldwide billion.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Wow, that is crazy.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
So they've got over nearly forty two thousand restaurants internationally.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Have you seen the movie The Founder?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
No, explains the story of the guy that basically he
kind of in a way shafted those two brothers that
started the first McDonald's ended up franchising it, but he
was the guy that ended up buying the real estate,
and so he became their landlord in a lot of ways.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
And then he franchised and.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Started making the business model where he took it over
and became like a real estate company as well as Yeah,
so now he would buy the real estate, and then
the people would build the McDonald's on the real estate
that he would own, so the people that own the
franchises would never own the real estate.
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
So yeah, that's his deal because then he charges the
franchisee who owns the McDonalds, say locally, and then they
have to pay rent.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, Ray Kroc was his name, and in some ways
he was an entrepreneur genius, but in other ways you
feel really sorry if it's one hundred percent create the
movie to these brothers that started the McDonald brothers that
started the.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
Business still uses the name.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, they got two million dollars payout or something I
think from him, and which in those days was a
lot of money, but now you think that's nothing.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, signing over McDonald's some excercies between thirty and one
hundred billion dollars. All the real estate meta for McDonald's,
and they always you'll notice it is here. There are
always prime locations, high traffic areas and also near landmarks
in cities as well. So you think about all the
McDonald's and you've one near you, like, jeez, that is
(35:30):
prime real estate. They own that crazy, absolutely wild.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
It's really fair though, yeah, smart, Yeah exactly. It's a
really really fascinating movie. Actually that the founder. So if
you haven't seen it, watch it.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
I reckon. Yeah, so happy meals, getting happy mortgage payments
from the franchisees. It's all coming at McDonald's.
