Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:18 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
Starting point is 00:00:35 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
Starting point is 00:00:53 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.
Starting point is 00:01:15 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?
Starting point is 00:01:28 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.
Starting point is 00:01:38 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.
Starting point is 00:01:53 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
Starting point is 00:02:08 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
Starting point is 00:02:21 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.
Starting point is 00:02:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:04 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
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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
Starting point is 00:03:56 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.
Starting point is 00:04:12 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.
Starting point is 00:04:27 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.
Starting point is 00:04:38 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.
Starting point is 00:04:52 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,
Starting point is 00:05:13 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.
Starting point is 00:05:27 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.
Starting point is 00:05:47 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.
Starting point is 00:06:05 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,
Starting point is 00:06:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 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.
Starting point is 00:07:16 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.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:46 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?
Starting point is 00:08:03 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,
Starting point is 00:08:17 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,
Starting point is 00:08:32 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
Starting point is 00:08:49 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.
Starting point is 00:09:01 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.
Starting point is 00:09:15 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.
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:22 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.
Starting point is 00:10:42 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
Starting point is 00:11:01 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
Starting point is 00:11:17 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?
Starting point is 00:11:34 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.
Starting point is 00:11:50 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:19 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
Starting point is 00:12:32 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
Starting point is 00:12:44 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.
Starting point is 00:12:55 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.
Starting point is 00:13:08 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
Starting point is 00:13:22 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
Starting point is 00:13:35 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:14:02 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 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.
Starting point is 00:14:27 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.
Starting point is 00:14:42 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.
Starting point is 00:15:00 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.
Starting point is 00:15:18 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.
Starting point is 00:15:47 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.
Starting point is 00:16:02 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.
Starting point is 00:16:16 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
Starting point is 00:16:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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.
Starting point is 00:17:01 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?
Starting point is 00:17:14 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,
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:49 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.
Starting point is 00:18:21 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.
Starting point is 00:18:45 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.
Starting point is 00:19:05 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.
Starting point is 00:19:19 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:19:55 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.
Starting point is 00:20:08 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.
Starting point is 00:20:28 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.
Starting point is 00:20:47 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.
Starting point is 00:21:01 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,
Starting point is 00:21:13 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.
Starting point is 00:21:25 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.
Starting point is 00:21:35 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,
Starting point is 00:22:05 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.
Starting point is 00:22:28 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?
Starting point is 00:22:44 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.
Starting point is 00:22:57 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
Starting point is 00:23:13 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
Starting point is 00:23:32 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.

Starting point is 00:25:05 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
Starting point is 00:25:22 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
Starting point is 00:25:38 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
Starting point is 00:25:59 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
Starting point is 00:26:14 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.
Starting point is 00:26:34 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.
Starting point is 00:26:52 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.
Starting point is 00:27:09 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.
Starting point is 00:27:21 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?
Starting point is 00:27:45 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,
Starting point is 00:28:05 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.
Starting point is 00:28:24 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.
Starting point is 00:28:36 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
Starting point is 00:28:51 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.
Starting point is 00:29:10 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.
Starting point is 00:29:35 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.
Starting point is 00:29:47 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.
Starting point is 00:29:59 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,
Starting point is 00:30:16 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.
Starting point is 00:30:29 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
Starting point is 00:30:42 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
Starting point is 00:30:53 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
Starting point is 00:31:06 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.
Starting point is 00:31:17 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
Starting point is 00:31:28 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.
