The John O'Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to Dilma.
Goodness really does taste great.
Dilma, making the world a better tea.
Now, producer Troy, I bought you in.
I feel like we need to end the week.
We need to close any open cases that the show has.
And apparently I owe you an apology.
Souless, soulless human being.
There was a news article again on your news yesterday
about Donald Trump making, you know,
$200 a billion from crypto while he's been in his presidency.
Yeah.
Which one might say is, you know,
as illegal profiting off the presidency
it's not really allowed
and I just turned
I looked around the room and I thought
it would be a crypto person
and I said to Troy
I said you look like a crypto guy
and everyone went whoa whoa whoa
like I'd have accused him of selling
expired Mexican protein powder or something
he's like a crypto guy
is that not a term of endearment in 2026
I would say endearment
isn't it no
What were you meaning by a crypto guy?
Well, no, I was just like, if I lined everyone in this show up,
producer grace, Megan, Ben, and Troy,
and they said, you pick out the one who you think would be involved in cryptocurrency.
I would choose Troy.
Can you see how that's problematic?
Why is that problematic?
Because you're judging people by their country.
I'm like, I could be a crypto bro.
Yeah, exactly.
What's wrong with it being involved in finance,
like diversifying his financial portfolio?
What is wrong with that?
But the way you say crypto guy, it gives it a bad connotation as well.
Like tech bros.
Yeah.
One of those.
Yeah.
You'll be at the ram raids, which one it is?
You know?
John.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's definitely a stereotype.
And all that is, you know, people can be into crypto and do amazing things.
Yeah.
But there is a stereotype, an online stereotype that the crypto bros are not well-adjusted members of society.
Oh, okay.
Oh, well, I'm sorry.
I wasn't, I wasn't aware of that.
Have you got crypto?
I haven't.
A little bit of crypto.
teeny winning
Have you got a bit of a bit of a little slice of Bitcoin
Because I feel like after that description
Maybe you're the crypto
I don't understand it
I don't understand what it is
Is it actual money
It's not actual money no
Cryptocurrency
So obviously you can just use it online
You can't take it to the supermarket
So if I've got crypto
Can I buy stuff online or it's just
I'm asking you if you clearly said you're not a crypto guy
Like why are you asking it?
None of us
No. Like, yeah, like, if you want to know about crypto, I'm sure you can find you a crypto guy.
It's not a recognised currency where you can like buy groceries.
Okay, so if I'm on ASOS, can I use my crypto?
No.
Oh, 800 of the heads. If you've got crypto.
Yeah, how does crypto work? Yeah, please. Let's open up the phone lines on that. That's a great.
John O'Ben and Megan.
The podcast. The Hats.
All right, Hannah, good morning to you.
Hello.
What's your confession?
Okay, I'm not going to go on to the nitty gritties of it
Because I'm scared that he might be listening
But I used to have a horrible flatmate that had extreme OCD
And he was awful
And whenever he would fall asleep
I would go through our lounge
I would put everything he'd put in place
I'd move it a little bit
I'd move the photo frames
I observed the TV
and when he was
really horrible
I will admit
I did use his toothbrush
in the toilet once
Oh geez you really
I'm not getting into the nitty gritty
Yeah you really went over and above beyond
Wow
Okay you are in the drawer
Thank you you shouldn't have
But you did you confess that to us
And you're in the draw with the food fires
I won't get into the nitty gritty.
Stacey good morning to you
Morning
How are you all?
We're doing well, mate.
It's lovely to have you on.
Here's Dave.
I've got another confession to make.
To get in for the food fighters, what's your confession?
My confession is I let my husband use my gym key.
Yeah.
And you're not meant to share.
One of the big rules they've got on the board when you...
Bring a towel.
But doesn't...
Don't they have your picture when you swipe isn't your picture there?
Yes.
Yes.
but he goes at night.
Ah, yeah.
Well, if you can just hold there, Stacey,
we have the general manager of Snap Fitness on the phone.
We don't know what Jim it is.
We don't know. That's fine.
You're in the drawer.
You're in the jaw.
Thanks for confessing this morning.
John O'Benn and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
To the weekend.
And over the United States,
Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey.
They're meant to be getting married this weekend at Madison Square Gardens.
They're booked out the venue,
according to all the rumors.
And we wanted to give them a wedding.
Yeah, and we've got our friend Ben, this show only deals with Ben's.
He's an Australian based in New York, and you're outside Madison Square Garden.
Now we can see, Ben.
Oh, yeah, boiling hot guys.
I've been told by security, I have to move about five different times,
but I am at Madison Square Garden or at least outside.
Now, you just, we were just talking to during the song.
You said it's 40 degrees over there.
You're in a jacket, Ben.
Controversions by your vision.
Yeah.
That is true.
I thought I'd go all black.
just to, you know, go under cover and try and get as close as possible for you.
And then I realized the temperature as I was halfway down to the arena.
So that's my issue.
Now, you do look like, well, I guess dressed all in black.
You've got the earbuds in because you're talking to us.
You do look official, which could be a good play.
Yes.
When I'm standing here at the loading dock, no one is bothering me so far.
So I think we're good.
We can see Madison Square Gardens behind you.
We can see a lot of trucks, as you say, the loading dock.
A lot of people loading out stuff, I'm guessing it's all for Taylor's wedding.
Yeah, so what's happened is that the last couple of days,
everybody has been looking at all the trucks.
You can see behind me, there's one.
I'll just put it over my shoulder on the Zoom.
And they've been trying to work out.
They saw, you know, a sign saying like garden party.
Then they've been like Googling the companies that are on the side of the trucks.
I think people are just doing it for the free publicity for their companies.
But today, they've actually, they've boarded up the loading dock,
so you actually can't see what's going in and going out, which is really interesting.
So they're also, and I'm trying to find out where it is.
actually can't see the steps, but they were putting, like, carpeting on the steps yesterday,
and then apparently they got the wrong colour.
It needed to be, like, purple, not blue or something, so they had to rip it up and try again.
So, you know, it's all happening here.
Taylor's like, no, no, no, it's all got to go.
Purple's an odd choice, although, was it, like, lavender or something?
Yeah, or like a Move sort of thing.
I don't know if she's making her own Met Gala or something like that, but that's what I saw
yesterday.
Now, we're hoping you're not going to be at the centre of, you know, an FBI investigation.
or something because we did, hmm.
Yeah, yeah.
Or kicked out of the country, you know, we can hear your accent.
You're obviously not from America, but thank you for doing us a favour.
We just wanted to give the happy couple a gift.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I went to the local convenience store and I got a $5 rose because I didn't have anything else more on me.
I thought that'd be good.
Now, where do you want me to put it?
Do you want to put it at the front entrance?
Do you want me to, like, where do you want me to go?
Well, I guess you can't go any further than where you are, really.
Is that the back entrance
with all the trucks there?
Yeah, this is the back entrance.
Do you want me to at least go to the front
and maybe I can sneak in that way if I start walking?
There might be someone there who can pass it on.
Now, I don't, listen, I know you've really gone out of your way
to get us some flowers and stuff.
It's sort of more of a funeral flower.
No, I think it's a Valentine's Day.
I did think that.
It's a Valentine's Day flower.
You know when you're going to go, Prince's Diana and they put down that year.
It does look memorial.
Maybe.
Maybe this is like for all single guys
I thought they had a shot with Taylor
in the memorial for back of them.
Are there other fans lingering around there been?
Less fans that I thought.
There would be.
There are a lot of news outlets,
a lot of people with cameras trying to report on it,
which I mean,
I wonder if that's the gig that you signed up
at journalism school to do.
There's lots happening around the world,
but you're at Madison Square Garden
but cover the Taylor Swift wedding.
Yeah, so not a lot of fans that I was,
I guess once they boarded everything up
and you can't see anything,
or maybe they're all waiting for days when
they actually might be there.
They've boarded it up right for privacy,
but you're having it at Madison Square Garden,
so there's only so much privacy
you can expect in the middle of New York.
As I walked in the main entrance,
the sign underneath literally says
the world's most famous arena,
so there's no real getting around.
Well, can you leave your flowers
just under the world's most famous arena sign?
Would that be a...
Let's have a look.
Okay, Madison Square.
Oh, there you go.
Front door.
Here you two.
I just saw the Empire State Building as well.
Oh, my God.
And there's my flowers and I'll put them down right there.
A memorial to any single.
Swift is out there.
Can you see anything?
They look sad.
They do.
They do.
Security is definitely removing those.
They do.
Yeah, a little.
Yeah.
I just saw a sign that said facial recognition is used in this air.
Okay, okay.
Well, maybe...
Listen, well, that's all we can do.
Yeah, we've done our gift has been parted from New Zealand
towards Taylor and Travis, so thanks for doing that.
And you can go on with your day without us now.
Yeah, you contribute to my GoFund meet me out of the bill.
Ors has got me getting deported.
I'll put the link somewhere for everybody for you listeners to contribute
and make sure that nothing happens.
That's.
Is it okay to just pop in unannounced to someone's house in 2026?
That's what's happening to producer Troy at the moment.
I have a friend that's moved into my suburb.
And initially I thought, this is going to be great.
We're going to catch up all the time, go for beers at the local pub,
and go for walks and get coffee in the mornings.
And all that's really happened is that he comes over twice a week unannounced.
And he'll flick me a text and be like, I'm outside.
So at least his texture without knocking on the door.
I mean, yeah, it hasn't just...
It's true, but it's the same effect.
Yeah, it's true.
Is there any way that he would know you were there?
Like, is your car outside or...
Car is normally outside, yeah.
Because I'd just be like, ha-ha, I'm not here.
You can't, and then just commando roll on the lounge floor.
I mean, it's not to say you don't want to hang out with this person, because obviously you do.
No, he's a good friend, yeah.
It's just that it's unannounced.
You just don't know what people are doing
Do you if there's family over
And in the 80s and 90s
This felt like it was more common practice
When we actually trusted and liked other human beings
But nowadays it feels like home invasion
Yeah and also because we had no way
I remember like in growing up in Marston
You know where you couldn't get in touch with friends
You just drive around to their place
Knock on the door and your bikes and stuff
It was no way to know really
I mean you could sometimes go landline
But it's just pop you're popping in with something you'd do
And now we're like, instead of text, at least give me some morning.
I'm on my way in half an hour.
And then you have 30 minutes to make up an excuse as to where you are.
Otherwise, there's an all good door opening.
You're like, you're coming in?
What's that big?
But I think that's definitely a generation thing.
Because when I go and stay with my parents, people still pop over.
Like the doorbell ring and I'll be like, who's that?
And mum's like, I don't know.
I'm like, God, she loves it.
I'm terrified.
And I'm like, why were they here?
They stayed for ages.
I guess at that stage it's quite exciting.
You're like, oh, just popping in?
No.
Knock at the door, you're like, get into the panic room, kids.
I know, that's my reaction.
Hide, hide. Get the guns.
It's just the courier.
So I wait under the hits.
Do you pop in?
Are you?
A poperunera.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like there's certain people as well, too, that maybe you'd think about popping in
and others you'd like, never would I pop in.
I feel like John is going to morph into a poperuner.
Potentially.
Like we all work with each other every day
But I reckon if any of us popped into
Anyone's house on the show
It'd be really unusual
I'd just be like, why are you here?
Yeah
I did by accident
I was actually returning something to some friends of ours
It'd been weeks
And I was like, oh, I'm near their house
Knocked on the door
And there's nothing quite like
You can hear shuffling
Whispering inside
At least you're returning something
You had a reason rather than just like
You're what are here for?
You're like, oh
And then they opened the door
And they lock at their message
She's just, hi.
Do you want to come in and they'll like, please don't say yes, please don't say yes.
And John is like, yeah.
Yeah, I'd love to.
Okay, do you bob in?
Maybe you do.
And we'd love to hear from you this morning.
Let's just pop into Ben at the weekend.
What if I throw you out as well?
It's always would throw him.
You're like, I don't know why people come around.
But when you're like, I'm like, what is it?
Where was this in the schedule?
1145 a.m. pop in, say Saturday morning.
Oh, yeah.
Really throw my day right out, you know.
John O'Ben and Megan
The podcast
The Hats
We're just asking you
Is it okay to pop in in 2026
Just unannounced
Turn up to a friend
of Farno member's house
A mixed bag
Listen I'm not
I'm not doing it
I'd feel uncomfortable
With other people did it
I know all of us
Are in the same boat
Producer Troy is having it
happened at the moment twice weekly
Friend of his
moved into the same neighbourhood
And you said you'd given him
The bloody code to your door too
Oh, that's an extra step.
Yeah, so he can come in.
Actually, maybe that's what happens when you're neighbours,
because my neighbour lives three houses down,
and we would probably pop in.
And I have the code to her house.
Okay.
But no one else is allowed to pop in.
I guess you get to the stage,
because someone's saying on the text,
James is saying, you know,
you want to make sure the house is full.
Some people are just a little bit tidy or it's so presentable.
You know, that's something you feel like doing.
But you might be at that stage with them.
Yeah, you're just like, we see each other's house and disarray.
That's fine, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I wait home to the hits.
Are you popping in in 2026, Louise,
Happy New Year?
Happy New Year.
Yes, I don't mind them popping in.
I need my ride and die friends
that would turn up at midnight with a shovel,
no questions are.
You bury your body, friends.
I've told the boys about this.
You've got to have one.
You have to.
The only way you can do that is curating it
by letting them turn up whenever, wherever.
It might be that bottle of wine you do.
didn't know you needed.
It might be that dinner that they bought that you didn't want to cook.
It might be that cat video for the 100th time that you want to have a laugh at.
You can't curate every moment.
So I love my friends popping in.
Oh, that's lovely.
Louise, I feel like you've taught us a lesson.
They've got to accept that there's got to be undies where they shouldn't be.
Hopefully this toilet roll because I live with turt boys.
But, you know.
Louise, can I just say, if you've asked me to turn up to your house with a shovel at midnight,
questions will be asked.
I'll turn up.
I'll turn up. I'll do the digging.
I just want to know the details.
Yeah, but I must admit on the flip side, no, I wouldn't ever give them a key to my house,
and no, I wouldn't give them the code.
But I grew up where my family was a safe place for a lot of friends,
so they just would turn up, and my family would just be there for them and cook,
and my dad created a space in the garage where we could just hang out.
That's cool.
I love that.
But I know I've got friends that would be mortified if I heard me knocking on the door.
You're a unicorn, you're a unicorn, Louise.
Yeah, that's awesome, Louise.
That's so cool.
I appreciate you call.
Nika, welcome.
Good morning.
Happy New Year, team.
Happy New Year.
Now, you're popping in or not popping in?
Not popping in.
My inlaws are the worst for this.
They always pop in all the time.
But I do agree with Megan.
I think it's a generational thing because their house is well and truly like open door.
policy, which is cool, but it's just not.
Yeah, I mean, for the majority it's not for it.
You know, but that's, and so sometimes
you'll be in the middle of jobs, napping.
Yeah, exactly.
And I love a good nap, so
don't just serve me while I'm having a nap.
Fair enough. And the poppin's
never anything
groundbreaking.
Did we need this?
Just fill the content, isn't it? The popin.
Stacey, good morning to you.
Good morning, guys.
Probably also relies on the time of year, too.
Over New Year's, I'm probably not mounting a pop-in as much as a-huh.
Yeah, when you've got time on your hands.
It's sunny.
You might be some way, then.
Okay, so were you popping in or not, Stacey?
What's happening?
Well, I'm happy for people to pop into mine, but I'm not sure that I would just pop into anybody.
Okay, okay.
Fair enough.
Why are you so welcoming?
Why are you okay with it?
I grew up that way.
You know, far no home.
Everybody's welcome.
All right.
Keep the house tidy.
You wouldn't do it to anyone else?
Very few, but I think, I don't know.
one of those people that don't want to catch people off guard and kind of like...
Oh, oh.
Yeah, no, for enough.
It's an unfiltered response when you turn up to someone's door unannounced, isn't it?
Hey, you.
I want to feel welcomed as well.
I don't want someone sort of like, I'm in the door and kind of feeling a bit like,
oh, fuck, what are they doing that?
Well, Stacey.
You said it, and it's what everyone thinks.
John O'Bin and Megan.
The Heds.
School holidays as well, and Megan, you've been...
You've got a show that we need to watch.
Yeah, although this one's not with the kids.
If you've been enjoying heated rivalry and then we had off campus, which everyone was into.
What are those shows about?
Horned up sport shows.
Yeah, actually, they were both ice hockey.
This one, no sports, but it's a new romance that was written from a book.
And it's spicy, it's got a twist at the end.
And if you're hanging out for something off campus like, I got into this and I binged it hard.
it's good to know that this has just been renewed for a second season too, so you are going to get more.
It's called every year after, and everyone in it is very attractive.
So what are they doing?
So is it the storyline?
Is it the hotness of these people?
Where's the ice hockey action?
Where's the sport for me?
No, they are very hot.
But Sadie is a bittery writer who goes back to her childhood like summer spot, and she goes back for a funeral, but she has.
to see her ex-best friend and boyfriend.
Oh, oh, oh, Sadie.
Things from their past come out, and do they rekindle, do they not?
He gets angry, she gets angry.
And then they hook up in the end and live happily ever after.
Do they?
Oh.
You have to watch it every year after.
It's really, really good.
Okay, please.
Troy, have you got something that we need to watch as well?
I do.
A new reality show.
It's called the million dollar secret, I think.
It's a secret, man.
It's a secret, mate. It doesn't matter. It's a secret.
Imagine being invited here.
Finding a million dollars in your room.
Knowing it's yours to keep.
But only if you can hide the fact you've won the money.
Welcome to the stag.
Just find the nicest place I've ever been in the whole life.
He sounds like an evil supervillain.
Imagine winning a million dollars.
He's the host. He's fantastic.
My Roman Empire.
that, like winning money and pretending
I haven't. It's really clever.
So, okay, so what?
So there's 10 people.
They go to their hotel room and they've each got a box.
One person opens the box is a million bucks in there.
And it's theirs.
They can keep it.
But everyone's trying to vote out who the millionaire is.
And so you've got to lie.
And I don't have the million.
He's got the million because he's actually,
he's like, how do you prove that you don't have the million?
You're just empty pockets.
You're like, no, I've got nothing.
Just by your chat.
Yeah, by lying and making alliances with people.
The millionaire also has daily challenges they have to complete to get advantages.
Oh, so that might give it away too.
They might give it away while they're trying to do it.
There's one they have to try and incorporate song lyrics like don't stop believing.
And my heart will go on.
Into conversation during breakfast and if they do, they'll get an extra vote at the table that night.
It's very good.
They've got a great cast and a lot of drama.
It's good.
Oh my God, I'd be good at that.
Yeah, you would bet you.
I'm a good liar.
Yeah, yeah, I tell you what, if you get to the bottom of stuff, you do.
Yeah.
You investigate things.
No stone unturned.
Also, we were talking about Traders New Zealand recently.
The season just wrapped up.
And you can apply to be on it.
Now, they're taking castings at the moment.
I feel like you're about to say you're going to apply.
I already have.
You love it.
You love getting yourself up for a reality show.
You should.
Oh, yeah, me and Troy face off.
They're 100% not going to cast you two from a radio show.
Why?
Because they're just going to be like,
these guys just want to advertise their radio show.
Oh, that didn't even cross my mind.
You're going to have to go separately.
You're going to have to go separate seasons.
True, true.
Hey.
John O'Bin and Megan.
The podcast.
The heads.
So I get rashes from like perfume.
I can't have it touch my skin or...
Do you not wear perfume?
I put out my clothes.
Oh, I've asked you that before.
Yeah, yeah.
And my hair and stuff.
But some metals give me rashes.
So I got a full face rash the other day, and I was very confused.
where it had come from, but also my husband had it too.
So we've whittled it down to being our pillowcases.
I bought a satin, a set of satin pillowcases off Timu, and no, I did not wash them.
Yeah, this is, this, this surprises me.
We can't confirm the percentage of satin included in the pillowcases.
Because I put it through CHAPT, and I was like, what, like, could it give me a rash,
and what would it be from?
And it said it could be, like, you know, chemicals in the factory plant, but it could be formaldehyde.
Wow.
Oh my God.
Yes, I'd love a $3 pillow case from a factory that also makes drones, fireworks, air fryers.
Well, I have a rule.
I don't get anything like super electronic because I'm like, well, it might catch fire.
Yeah, gotcha.
So I thought the pillowcases would be safe.
I mean, probably, I mean, a wash might have helped you up, maybe.
I mean, you're going to give them a go after you've washed them?
No, I think it's done.
Oh, really?
They'll be fine now you put them through the wash.
The formaldehyde is really.
Is you're laying on your pillow?
Does Purcell get out for malo?
I don't know if it's an override.
We just feel like you may be it.
Who knows?
Laying on your bed of asbestos.
They're dreaming big.
So, I mean, I get rashes from lots of things.
Well, we want to chuck it open.
What has given you a rash in the past?
And I, well, geez, I was probably 21 years old and just starting out on radio.
Oh, we don't need to know about that, mate.
Keep it clean.
Keep it classy.
Do you know?
21, just starting out in radio.
Just sounding out of radio
And I was doing like every job on the station
Just to be a pain in the ass and hang around
And I was working on reception
And I couldn't afford much for lunch
So I was just eating a giant family-sized bag of cheesels
15 minutes later
Full body head to toe rash
And it's not a welcoming sight at the radio station
When you're walking, you know
Someone looks like they've been through chemical testing
I had to go to the doctor across the road
Are you allergic to them?
Yeah, cheesels, whatever's in cheesels
I don't know, do they still make cheesels?
I've stayed away from them.
Yeah, I think they do.
I loved them.
But they might have changed the formula, the recipe, you know, I think.
I don't know.
Yeah, so you might be right.
You could dip your toes back into the cheeselago?
Oh, I don't know.
Could they kill you?
Or is it just, you just get rashy?
Just got rashy.
Yeah, no, the doctor's like, yeah, I just get him to ride it out.
It was like a day and a half.
Full body.
Head to toe, like my little toe was rash.
The podcast.
The heads.
Well, I want to know what gave you a rash after me.
Welcome if you've just woken up and joined the show
Yeah
It's an abrupt
Funny things
Yeah, funny things
Yeah exactly
There's a few texts
We can't read out
And that's okay
We're not gonna do that
We're not gonna go there
That's fine
But Megan got a rash
Well I reckon it's a lot to do
With not washing what you did
You know
Yeah but I'm one of those people
That never washes anything
When you get it new
I'm just like chuck it on
But now I'm gonna have to change my ways
Because me and my husband
Got full face rashes
From what we believe
Was our Timo pillowcases
and that was the first thing he said to me was,
did you wash these?
And I was like, no.
No.
And now you've chucked them out.
Yeah.
And turned those $3 per lot into landfill.
Congratulations.
All right, we'll get to the text and calls right now.
He says from his ivory tower.
Oh, mate.
I should not be throwing stones.
James, welcome.
Happy New Year.
Hey, how are you?
Good.
Now, you've got a story about how you got a rash.
It's actually quite a funny one
I was about 18 or 19
and I was just riding my bike
and then there was the skill that I liked
I thought it was a funny idea
that's trying to press it by doing a wheelie past it
for the day
High risk manoeuvre a wheelie
High reward though if you pull it off it looks cool
yep
well unfortunately I didn't pull it off
after successfully doing the wheelie
I dropped the front wheel into a pothole
and then tried to kiss the front of the paper
Oh, so lots of cuts?
You just lots of little abrasions and everything on my face
but it just looked like a bloody
feral cat had attacked me really
And did it get infected?
So what actually happened was
Later on that night I decided it was a good idea
Being young and dumb
To go to a paint party
Oh, you throw paint
You can kind of see where this is going
Did you have plasters?
or dressings on your cup?
No, I didn't have anything.
Oh.
The wounds got infected
and then basically within,
I don't even think it was hours,
it looked like I had turned into full-blown leprosy.
James!
So did you have to, obviously,
had to get onto antibiotics?
Yeah, yeah, anti-estamines
and I think it was a moxylene of some weight.
Oh, jeez.
Yeah, the high-grade stuff.
Well, there you go.
Wasn't that lead paint from this?
Back in the day.
I hope not.
And what happened with the romance of this rom-com?
Oh, we dated for a little while, I admit, so I must have done something out of it.
Oh, you did impress her.
Oh, wow, it was all worth it.
I didn't pull a wheelie, but pulled something else.
I appreciate your call this morning, James, so have a great weekend.
Annie, welcome.
Happy New Year to you.
Happy New Year.
Lovely to have you on.
got a rash.
No, it wasn't me, thank goodness.
I like to wash things before I put it on.
Everyone's saying you should.
There's texts coming through.
Thank you.
Really interesting text.
Hindsight.
Saying that sometimes fabric has chemicals to keep them uncreased and keep pests off.
So remove it by normal washing and you should be fine.
What's some casual pesticide on your face?
What happened to your friend, Annie?
Oh, so my ex-husband, like in his early 20s was, you know, went out and bought some
sheets thinking he was pretty like, look at me,
adult and all, put them on his bed
thinking, why do you need to wash this, right?
Woke up the next morning, and
he was blue from head
to toe.
And he was like, oh my God, I'm dying. I've got some blood disease
and dying. And, like, literally ran to the doctor.
And he was like, there's something really wrong
with me. And the doctor, like, looked at him and said,
um,
had you put some new sheets on your bed last night
by chance? And he was like,
And he goes, maybe, maybe just wash them next time.
But it'll take it up the days before the die comes out.
It took days, did it?
Days, he'd days.
He had to go to work.
He's like, James Cameron, put me on.
Ready for Avatar.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that is a funny story, Annie.
Appreciate you calling through.
Go and have a wonderful weekend, oh?
Hey, you too, guys.
John O'Bin and Megan.
The podcast.
The Hits.
I took actually a page out of the Ben Boy,
playbook yesterday. I had to wait for my
daughter and I was like, oh, Ben
always talks about going to a cafe with his
laptop, you know, and getting stuff done.
So I did that.
I went to the mall, sat in a cafe
was charging away at the laptop. How do you find too?
Because the laptop takes up quite a lot
of real estate on your small cafe table.
Then they come along with your drinks.
Then if you order some food, you're really
juggling with the balance of that.
It can't be a little bit juggle, but yeah, you make it work.
You get through it.
Anyway, that's a side.
That was a side.
No, I just wanted to ask the expert on a cafe laptop work.
But then opposite me was another lady.
She was having a coffee.
And then two young kids walked past her on their way to the counter.
Now, one of their bags accidentally knocked the empty chair on her table,
thus sort of jolting the table, rattling the contents of the table.
Stuff spill and stuff or not?
Just, I mean, not a wild amount.
They're just sort of into a saucer.
Could have been worse.
So the thing.
And then they walked off, but not on her watch.
Oh, no.
Not on her watch.
Oh, no.
Excuse me.
They turned around.
And you know when someone calls out, excuse me, you don't know if they're talking to you.
They had that confused.
Well, they probably had no idea.
If a bag hit it, you wouldn't feel it necessarily.
It's like, you've just knocked my table.
And I would have thought you would have apologized.
And they were like, oh, said exactly what you said.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't realize.
She's like, you knocked it with your bag.
and they said, did we?
And she's like, you did.
And then she turns to me, looks me dead in the eyes,
and goes, he saw it.
Were you looking up at this state?
Did she see you looking?
If you were looking at your laptop, locked in zone in,
you wouldn't have been involved in this.
But you would have been like, oh, what's the going on there?
I saw it.
I saw it.
I saw everything.
Because you're nosy.
She was wanting me to be a star witness in this trial.
And I said, I didn't see anything.
She looked
At me
And she's like
The look of betrayal
I didn't want to
I didn't want to be
It was Thursday afternoon
I couldn't be bothered involved
That's not what I thought you were going to say
No I was just like
Oh yeah I didn't see anything sorry
You could just a little knock
It was no harm no foul
No I tried just to yeah
I didn't want to get my toes in
And she was like
You were meant to come in here
And testify against a war criminal
You're dirtyed me
You're poking the beer though
And you're
Yeah.
Because those kids were
walked off and you were sitting...
And now you're stuck with it.
You chose the wrong person in that.
Yeah, but that's 100% why.
You're right.
I backed the wrong team.
You back the wrong horse.
For awkward reasons other than
they're just going to be in your vicinity.
Yeah.
Then I was locked into my laptop
and I could feel eyes.
She just wanted to catch my eye
and be like, anyway.
Do you jump on the horse that's chill
or do you jump in the horse
that's like bucking around?
You jump on the bucking.
one, don't you? Jump on the back up.
So, yeah, I won't go back there.
