Starting point is 00:00:00 The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Hey, the 12th of April, welcome to the podcast. Ben Boyce, lovely to see you. Nice to see you too. We're about to go off and film some adverts for the Hits radio station, aren't we? With your very shiny head today. You know, you shaved this for something else we did. We can't mention it.
Starting point is 00:00:17 We're doing an old secret project. You made me shave my head. I didn't make you shave my head. You were like, you shave your head. I didn't make you shave your head. You were like, you shave your head. I didn't make you shave your head. You volunteered to do it for the secret project. All will be revealed in a couple of weeks' time. But it's...
Starting point is 00:00:31 Listen, I know at this time of year, I mean, Jesus disappeared on Friday, didn't he? My head disappeared. And unlike Jesus, I don't know if it's going to come back next week. But yeah, at the moment, my head is full shine. Like, it would be it would be confused for a lightbulb if I went to lighting direct my head at the moment, and now we've got to go
Starting point is 00:00:51 the boss hasn't seen this I've been wearing a hat because this is for something else we're doing, yeah, so obviously today you're going to be like, oh, it's commercial like you did the first episode of our TV show, John and Ben, you went off and got your hair done in the afternoon. My hair did.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Was it a razor job that day? It was very shiny. You had to get makeup all the way over your head, right? I looked like, on that photo that you're referring to there, because they put foundation all over the top of my shiny hair. It was a nightmare for the television lights, Bell Crawford. It really was. They foundationed it so much that I looked
Starting point is 00:01:29 like a member of the Coneheads, that movie. A lot of head going on there. Are you trying to find the photo? I was trying to find the photo. Every day at a game, a friend of ours always sends it to you, doesn't he? Because he has the photo. Yeah, Jordan will have it. But yeah, so I'm in that stage at the moment.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Do you know I was actually going to talk about this on the show tomorrow? My daughter, she is mortified that you made me shave my head. I didn't make, why do you keep saying, I made you shave your head. I had nothing to do with it. You're like, shave your head for this project that we want to do. I did not. I didn't say that at all. Did he say that to Behance? Behance is nodding his head.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I did. You're like, oh, you could do it like you got it, but it's not going to be as good as what you said. I did not even make you do it. It was your personal choice to do it like you got it but it's not going to be as good as what you said I did not even make you do it it was your personal choice to do it to match it you're like
Starting point is 00:02:07 I better do this because it matches up with what we want to do yeah no it was me but anyway my daughter's mortified and she's like
Starting point is 00:02:13 if you pick me up from school wear a hat she doesn't want me turning up without a hat yeah she's deeply embarrassed deeply she was
Starting point is 00:02:21 you're at that stage are you that where you're embarrassing your kids and it brings you a lot of joy, knowing that you have the power of being able to embarrass children at any stage. I could do anything. Anything.
Starting point is 00:02:34 The power's in my core. I could turn up to school in underpants to pick her up. She'd be mortified. You'd make a good captain underpants, actually. At the moment. Maybe she'd turn up like, I was in a book day and we're dressing up
Starting point is 00:02:46 as our favourite book character. Oh, I got that wrong. Captain Underpants. Yeah. But I was actually talking to Ben Hurley, a comedian, very funny guy the other day. He was saying he doesn't dance,
Starting point is 00:02:57 you know, at a nightclub, but his favourite time to dance is just to embarrass the kids. Like, he will dance in a supermarket, public place. It's funny how you will dance there because it embarrasses his kids. But everyone else knows,
Starting point is 00:03:08 everyone standing around knows exactly what you're doing and they're getting just as much joy out of it. The only one dying is the kid. Yeah. The podcast today
Starting point is 00:03:15 had a fun show. Kevin Boyce, your father's regaled a tale of how he accosted Brooklyn Beckham in a cafe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:24 It felt like the conversation would have gone on for at least 20 minutes. You know, we only got a snapshot. Yeah, a long time. One of those conversations where you go over and say, you know, it's someone you don't know, but then you imagine he would have sat down, my dad would have sat down, and Brooklyn would have gone, oh, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Our bucket list dreams continue on as well. You had a dream and I had a dream too to catch my first fish this week. We're meant to head out on a charter. Is that in jeopardy with the cyclone on the way? And can we use your shiny head as a lure? Well, those questions and more on the podcast that is the hits. What's your favourite day of the week? Well, yeah, I mean, Friday has a good feeling about it, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:04:04 Tuesday doesn't get enough credit. I mean, it's a filler day, but it's reliable. It's always there. Monday gets a lot of hate. Tuesday doesn't, not spoken of too much. And Friday gets an extraordinary amount of love, doesn't it? Yeah, it does, you're right. Now, Bell Crawford, who's just started on the show,
Starting point is 00:04:19 we had a conversation the other day, and I lied to you. And I don't want our relationship our professional relationship to be based on lies well you said do you guys nap during the day uh you know after we finish this job and I was like nah but then I thought about it more I do I do nap during the day uh because I have a car pillow now an official pillow that I have in the back seat of my car, so that when I'm waiting to pick up the kids from school... Such an old man. That's a dad thing, though, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:04:54 Like, nap when you can sort of thing. He likes to nap in the car, nap on the plane. Nap on the couch, just nap whenever again. Nap after Christmas lunch. I like to get there like 20 minutes early, just have a cheeky 20-minuter with the car pillow
Starting point is 00:05:07 because I'd wake up and your neck would be all sore. It's like when you sleep on a plane. It isn't sleeping in a car. So I've employed the car. I've taken the pillow
Starting point is 00:05:15 off the spare bed at home and it lives in the car now. Okay? And I'm not ashamed to say it. I don't find it a relaxing environment. You know, the car,
Starting point is 00:05:23 you're not in your safe space. Yeah, I don't want to be watched while I'm sleeping. That freaks me out. What's going on? Yeah, I mean, anyone with any form of bedding in their car, you're like, oh, things aren't going well at home. Right? You know, if there's a duvet or something in the back seat.
Starting point is 00:05:38 But, you know, I've got a car, but I bet you're right. You're on display. It's a glass box and people walking past me, oh, okay. He's, all right. But you're right, you're on display. It's a glass box and people walking past. Oh, okay. All right. It's okay, you're allowed to have naps. But I'm not the only period who does it. I've noticed a couple of snoozers that come along a bit early.
Starting point is 00:05:59 There's a line of snoozers that we all just get a few winks before you pick out the kids. But it's amazing what 20 minutes will do. It's a real pick-me-up. That's the ideal time for a nap, 20 minutes. Any longer than you can wake up a bit groggy. Yeah, because you're not going into your deep sleep zone. Yeah, you're just waking up beforehand. So give it a go, Ben.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Get outside of school. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz. All right, she's here to read Spy with bells on. It's Belle Crawford. What's going on, mate? This might surprise you,
Starting point is 00:06:25 but Miley Cyrus' parents are getting divorced, not for the first time, not for the second, but for a third time. Billy Ray. Yep. And who's her mother? Tish Cyrus.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Tish. Yeah. So they've been together for 29 years. They've got five kids. You know, they've been together a very long time. That's almost three decades. And their second divorce, they didn't actually go through with it in the end.
Starting point is 00:06:49 They said they were going to do it, and then about five years ago, they're like, no, we're going to work on things again. But she has filed for divorce, claiming that irreconcilable differences. Basically, this means that it's not getting on anymore. And they haven't actually been living together since February 2020. She was living with Miley during the pandemic. I remember her saying that. Well, when you've gone through the process of breaking up three times already you know what you're doing you're like you're taking the dog i'll take the sideboard you have the spare bed you know you know the items are divided up yeah you've done a couple of dress
Starting point is 00:07:17 rehearsals poor billy ray is that you break your heart again you know i mean i was like which one of you i thought it was gonna be be John over there I'm proud of you I think you understand guys what he's going through right now if you cast your mind back to 1994
Starting point is 00:07:31 Miley's dad recorded a song unnecessary we're hurting the poor guy so I'm sorry it's a very successful song yeah Tish did
Starting point is 00:07:38 she broke it so well that's sad it's always sad and weird I think probably when you're an adult when your parents probably divorce you know when you get into adult, when your parents probably divorce.
Starting point is 00:07:45 When you get into adult years, being through it as a youngster. As a kid, yeah. But I guess it happens. Probably happens a lot of times when the kids are out of the house too. The kids' relationships stay together for the kids, don't they? Like, oh yeah, we'll just do it until they're grown up and we're out. Well, then probably the kids leave and then they're like, oh, we've got nothing in common.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I hate you. We've just been raising children that we made for 29 years so uh oh well then hopefully everything's all right it works out in the end and tyra banks have teamed up with kim kardashian kim convinced tyra to come out of her model retirement to front a skims shoot and there has been some backlash on this amid some photoshop allegations but looking at the images i don't reckon they're very Photoshopped. Tyra looks beautiful, and they shared a few moments.
Starting point is 00:08:29 And she also talked about that I was a role model for her back in the day, which really touched me. And she said when I was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, she hadn't seen boobs that were real and big and curts, and she said then that gave herself a scene for her body. So we had like a serious conversation, and then I finally said, let's do this serious conversation about boobs yeah that's kind of cool though inspiring yeah it is it is lovely and who cares if they use photoshop is that a big thing
Starting point is 00:08:55 well i think it is i think it is a big thing yeah most images are retouched i mean just look at radio image oh yeah out of any industry no one's working harder than the Photoshop machine on the radio host. I think we'd be right, Belle. It gives an unrealistic expectation for particularly young kids and stuff. If you do see things in Photoshop. I think that's probably the backlash around it, right? Photoshop the snot out of me, mate. Give any feature it's got, do it.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Plaster it across me. I'll take it. I'll take it. Oh, well, that's nice of Tyra Banks, isn't it? I always used to be a big fan of Next Top Model. I love that show. It was so good. It was a good show, aye.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yeah. The big thing was smize. You've got to smile with your eyes. And I'd try and smize, but I'd just look like a serial murderer. Tested safe for listing from home. Jono and Ben on the hits. I bumped into someone in the work kitchen yesterday.'s a wonderful environment the work kitchen isn't it Because you have you know
Starting point is 00:09:51 The entire buildings worth of Kitchen habits combined Zeroed in in one area you know Because people operate and run their own kitchens The way they like to run them But then for some reason at the work place You've just got this mish mash of all sorts of kitchen techniques i've seen someone cooking steak on the toasted sandwich maker that's right that was an experience wasn't it to see hello okay it was a raw like
Starting point is 00:10:14 started from raw as well like a you know sirloin or something on a toasted sandwich maker which yeah i did the job but boy the uh the office smell like barbecue for a while there uh it's one of those situations isn't it, you talk about people reheating stuff that maybe, you know, like a fish pie or something, you know, really brings an aroma to the office, doesn't it? I mean, you've been guilty of smelly lunch. For a while there, you were the smelly lunch guy.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I was, yeah. Remember? In our old workplace, we'd be like, it's been the smelly lunch guy, but we don't have to deal, Bill, you don't deal with the smelly lunches now, because he's a creeper. What were you eating? Oh, it was just, you know, a smelly lunch guy, but we don't have to deal with it. Bill, you don't deal with the smelly lunches now because it's breakfast. What were you eating? I was just, you know, smelling lunch.
Starting point is 00:10:47 You know, anything like a tuna or something like that. A tuna? You would re-eat tuna? Yeah, you don't want hot tuna, mate. But yesterday I saw someone reheating the pizza I had from Hell Pizza, and it smelt like the pizza had lost the will to live. It smelt like they were heating in the microwave it was six days old oh really six like how far do you push the limits on reheated
Starting point is 00:11:13 food i know your mom jenny's a big yeah you reuse a recycler christmas ham i think it was without a word of a lie it was probably mid-january still mid-january i was like who is this for christmas she's like it'll be fine it's one of those it's one of those ham bags I was like oh this is for Christmas She was like it'll be fine It's one of those handbags I'm like oh enough of that really And then the handbags End up smelling and rotting I was like let's just leave that
Starting point is 00:11:35 Didn't your father-in-law get food poisoning? All the time, yeah my stepdad Yeah all the time She's poisoning him on the rig Yeah so what are you reusing, recycling? Oh, 800, that hits the telephone number. Good morning, Kay. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Reusing, recycling. What was it for you? Tea bags. Were you reusing tea bags? My boyfriend at the time said how much they were each tea bag, like a few cents or whatever. Hold on. Were you dating Ben Boyce?
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah, it sounds like something I'd say. He's broken it down per tea bag. Yeah, like, hey. Yeah, so every cent counts to this man. Sounds like me. Yeah, carry on. So he came home one day and I strung up on a piece of string in the kitchen all my tea bags on pegs and I told him he could reuse them a second time. Oh, so you were the
Starting point is 00:12:26 first one to use it, and then he could use them afterwards? Yeah. How many dips is he getting with a teabag, right? How many cups? Oh, as many as he wants as far as I was concerned, because we're no longer together. Oh, right, yeah. Did he do anything like that with other stuff around the household? No, it was just
Starting point is 00:12:42 the teabag issue. Yeah, he really got it in his head with the old teabags, didn't he? Yeah, it was something that doesn't cost that much. You're right. You know, with a cup of tea, I'm not a big tea drinker, but whenever anyone
Starting point is 00:12:52 comes over to the house, nothing frightens me more than when I say, anyone want a hot drink and someone goes a cup of tea? Oh, really? Because I'm just guessing.
Starting point is 00:13:01 I just drink coffee these days. Yeah, like I know you put the bag in, I know you put the bag in, I know you put hot water in. People can get quite particular how long you leave the tea
Starting point is 00:13:09 to sit in there for and stuff like that. It's a frightening task for me making a cup of tea for someone. Hey, but thank you very much for your time this morning, Kay. You have a great day.
Starting point is 00:13:17 You're welcome, you too. There you go, Kay pushing the tea bags to the limit of her ex-boyfriend. It would just almost end up being just a lifeless paper sack
Starting point is 00:13:24 that you're dipping in boiling water by the end of it. It's Jono and Ben, but FYI, Ben is open to other options. Jono and Ben on the hits. This week, Jono, we want to make it your dream to catch, you know, it's your dream to catch a fish. You've never done it before and we want to do that. And when you catch a fish, someone could win $1,000 and be part of the fishing charter on the Seahawk as well. So if you want to text
Starting point is 00:13:46 FISH to 4487, you can win $1,000 when Jono catches the fish. We're hoping to go out tomorrow or Thursday but apparently there's question marks hanging over a tropical cyclone, Philly, which is on its way. And it's just whether we plough on through it, like the Kiwi battlers that we pretend
Starting point is 00:14:02 we are being. We're going to talk to Phil Duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz just after 7 o'clock this morning just to get, you know, should we go out in a cyclone or not? I don't know. I think we can probably answer that question ourselves. I think so. But we'll get Phil's professional advice.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Now, we've got lots of advice, lots of tips from people over the last few days about catching fish. Clark Gayford, the first man of fishing, joined us on the program yesterday. He said, good time to go out. The snapper are respawning at the moment. That's right. That's apparently what you say.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I don't know what it means, but if I keep saying it, it'll sound good. The cycloid, not a great time to go out, but right now we're joined by a very young fisherman. Cole Delamore is his name, to give you some advice. Good morning, Cole. How are you? Yeah, not bad, mate.
Starting point is 00:14:43 How are you? Jesus, how old are you? Fourteen. Fourteen? You sound like more of a man than I'll ever be. Yeah. What age did you start fishing, Carl? Started around three. Started off ailing down by my grandma's house. So, yeah,
Starting point is 00:14:57 that's where it all started. Now, you have a New Zealand record, we understand. Yeah, I got the first marlin lever by a junior in Hawke's Bay. First marlin caught. So this was like a 111 kg fish, right? Yeah, mate, that's right, yeah. Are you sure you're 14? You sound a lot older.
Starting point is 00:15:17 No, I'm 14. Yeah, mate, yeah, mate, bloody love it. You're a legend, Cole. So you're pulling in a fish that's over 100 kilograms. You, I imagine, when you were the age, would have only been sort of 40 kgs, I imagine. So was it tough? Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Played it for around an hour and 45 minutes. I've never caught a fish. No, he's never caught a fish, so that's why I've come to you for it. We need some advice, Cole. What advice can you give for Jono? He doesn't need to catch caught a fish. No, he's never caught a fish, so that's why I've come to you. We need some advice, Cole. What advice can you give for Jono? He doesn't need to catch a big fish. You're just a fish, a legal-sized fish.
Starting point is 00:15:52 What advice have you got for him? First off, we need to get you boys down here. Okay. All right? We'll do some sort of competition. But probably just any advice. Just be patient. Burly hard. use the right bait.
Starting point is 00:16:08 That's the kind of boy I can really give you. Yeah, be patient, burly hard, use the right bait. And get good local advice, that's always the one. And the conversation on the boat. So let's pretend, Cole, you've taken Ben and me out fishing. Let's have a natural conversation. All right. You start us off.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Good chat, good chat. Good chat, okay. You're burling hard, Johnny. Burling hard there, Cole. Yeah, no, I'm bent over. Dragging the old winch. Yeah, I'm pumping it in. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Anchoring. Yeah, we're good to go. Yeah, good to go, good to go. That's good. That's all you need. The other thing, does he need a fishing nickname, Cole? Do you think he needs a nickname? Let's call him Johnny Boy.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Oh, Johnny Boy. Because I was looking online, there's some ones online, they could be, I'll pitch these to you, The Real Legend, but it's R-E-E-L, like a fishing reel. Yeah, yeah. The rod father. The rod father. I love the rod father.
Starting point is 00:17:12 The happy hooker was another one, but like a rugby thing or a fishing hook, I guess that's what they mean with that. Moby dickhead was another one. Moby dickhead. I do like that. Yeah. I don't know how I'm going to go if I do catch my first fish, having to hold it.
Starting point is 00:17:27 They seem slimy and wriggly, and I don't know how I'm going to remove the hook from the mouth. Oh, mate, don't worry about that one. You'll get there, but just make sure you have a big smile on your face for a big photo. Oh, a big photo, yeah. If you don't catch a fish, you can hang me upside down, Jono, and hold me aloft, all right, and take a photo like that, okay? That's the deal. Oh, I love your work, yeah. If you don't catch a fish you can hang me upside down, Jono, and hold me aloft, alright? And take a photo
Starting point is 00:17:46 like that, okay? That's the deal. Oh, I love your work, Cole. Really nice talking with you, mate. You keep safe. 14-year-old who holds a record for the first and biggest marlin caught in the Hawke's Bay. Awesome. Cheers, guys. Scrolling through your feed. Hand you over to our
Starting point is 00:18:01 news stallion. Galloping through the fields of topicality, it's Ben Boyce. Have you ever been called a stallion? No, I haven't, mate. I've got some horse news in this little three-minute bulletin. But first we'll start with a female streaker who invaded an NRL game over the weekend in the league. There's been a bit of debate since this happened, the incident happened. The female Titans fan hopped the fence.
Starting point is 00:18:24 She ran around in a bra, but then got hit very, very hard by a security guard and a big tackle. You can hear the crowd react. They're cheering. And then you can hear where the tackle happens. So everyone kind of kicked it up a level there because obviously you've seen the footage.
Starting point is 00:18:40 It was all over the news last night. She got hit very hard by the security guard. Yeah, it is very, it's a brutal tackle uh would the same conversation be had if you know ben you were running out on the field and you got tackled like that yeah would it be the same in the same conversation you're right um she has though uh since responded and told seven news in australia i got what i deserved the security guard was doing his job so uh yeah, she sees nothing wrong with how the way she was treated, but obviously a bit of debate. Took the tackle like an absolute champion as well, didn't she?
Starting point is 00:19:11 Yeah, I know. Yeah, she got straight back up. And, yeah, it's a – personally, I wouldn't go tackling. Would you be tackling? I wouldn't – if I was the security guard, I wouldn't be spare pole-axing her into the ground. Well, no one in general. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:19:24 I have no place to tackle. Mainly because I can't tackle can't tackle yeah that's the thing i have no place tackling anyone out there on the sports but tackling them is the one thing when my mum and dad made me play rugby as a kid and i was like it hurts and then and then they always come out with the bigger they are the harder they fall it's like no the bigger they are the more it hurts yeah well the harder it falls on you right and in cambridge there's a bit of a debate going on at the moment between cyclists and horse riders. Now, they share a beautiful new pathway along by the river in Cambridge, but many horse droppings have been left there
Starting point is 00:19:56 because obviously the horses walk along there, and that's causing some concern for the cyclists who don't want to go over the horse droppings, and they're having a lot of debate. But if people have to pick up their dog poo, and under the bylaw they have to pick up their horse poo, then there's no difference in my mind. Yeah, so that's a resident.
Starting point is 00:20:14 They're not happy about it. Why are we listening to Lil Nas X in the background there? That was from Fair Go or something. It was an old town road. It was a horse riding song. I can see the correlation. But yeah, some horse rider has responded. I was the old town road going, it's a horse riding song. I can see the correlation. Some horse rider has responded, I was reading online going, what do they expect us to
Starting point is 00:20:29 carry around? Shovels? And then, you know, the size of the bag that we need to put it in? I mean, two kgs at a time. Two kilograms at a time? And horses call of nature up to 10 times a day. That's up to 20 kgs of manure a day from a horse.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Prolific, aren't they? I mean, your daughter, you make her pick up the droppings, the bow your dog leaves behind, and she's always going... Imagine two kilograms worth at a time. Yeah, I know. You'd have to get one of those big reusable bags. The huge ones. Not the old hand jobbies that you guys use With the dog stuff
Starting point is 00:21:05 Well there you go Now cyclists can hate Someone else apart from motorists You're running late Stuck in traffic And now you have to listen to this Jono and Ben On the hits
Starting point is 00:21:15 Now Brooklyn Beckham Of course the son of Victoria and David Beckham Got married over the weekend To Nicola Peltz Now they got married Three day extravaganza The photos The first photos Are just released today It looks like an amazing wedding In Palm Beach in Florida over the weekend to Nicola Peltz.

They do love a three-day bonanza in the States, don't they? Don't they have like the wedding breakfast, which is like the wedding party before the wedding party and stuff? They do turn it into an event over there, especially when you're marrying a billionaire's daughter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:49 And Ben, you told a story yesterday that your dad, Kevin Boyce, renowned conversationalist. He loves to chat. He accosted Golden Balls. He busted Golden Balls' son's balls in Los Angeles. Yeah, he ran into Brooklyn Beckham when he was on a sort of a holiday of the States. And I started telling the story and then I didn't know the details. So we thought after the show yesterday, we should give my dad a call, surprise him with a phone call, get him off guard.
Starting point is 00:22:11 He doesn't like it when we catch him off guard. No, he likes to prepare, doesn't he? But we phoned Kevin Boyce in the middle of, it must have been morning tea at the school he was teaching at. Yeah, and this is what he had to say about meeting Brooklyn Beckham. Hello, Kevin Boyce speaking. Oh, Kevin Boyce speaking. It's your son Ben and Jono here.
Starting point is 00:22:32 How's it going? Oh, g'day. How are you? Jono Pryor speaking. Yeah, Ben Boyce speaking. Are you the guys on the radio program? Yeah, we are. That's the one you always tune in to listen.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Hey, look, we wanted to get in touch with you because you're the only one on the show that has ever met Brooklyn Beckham. Really? Well, yeah. How many people am I vying for a competition with? There's three of us, between John O'Benn and yourself. So far, you're winning. You've met Brooklyn Beckham.
Starting point is 00:22:59 He just got married in the weekend. I don't know if you got invited to the wedding. I guess you didn't. But we wanted to... Well, I can't tell you that because it was quite wedding. I guess you didn't. But we wanted to... Well, I can't tell you that because it was quite a secret. Right. Signed the NDA.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Yeah. What was he like? What was he like to meet Brooklyn Beckham? Because you didn't even know who he was at first, right? No, I did not. No, I was actually... This is Beverly Hills Hotel. I was with some friends prior to a wedding in Malibu, so I'm just...
Starting point is 00:23:24 So hang on. Sorry to interrupt you. John, I think this was a boomer tour of the States. We on a tour of the States? A boomer? A whole lot of boomers? Yeah, there was some old people too. And they were going to the United States, that's right, four years ago.
Starting point is 00:23:42 And Brooklyn Beckham would have been about 21 then, I think. Anyway, we were at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and someone said, there's Brooklyn Beckham with his girlfriend over there. And I said, I didn't say, who is he? Well, you did. I said, is he related to David? And they said, well, that's his father.
Starting point is 00:23:58 So I said, all right. All right, strip yourself in Brooklyn. This is what I love. You went over and talked to him. You didn't just like... I did. I said good morning. It was actually morning.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And so I said to him... The detail does not matter. And I said to him, are you Brooklyn Begum? He said, yes. He said, how did you know that? I said, well, the people over there... I didn't have a bloody clue who you were. And I said, who is this young lad
Starting point is 00:24:24 sitting alongside you? He said, it's my girlfriend. And I said, who is this young lady sitting alongside you? She said, it's my girlfriend. And I said, well, look, I'm very pleased about that. And I said, I hope you'll make an honest man out of you. But anyway, then I said, can I get a photograph with you? And he said, where do you live? And I said, well, actually, currently in America, but actually I'm from New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:24:39 And so he said, would you get a photograph? I said, no, that'd be great. I said, you've got a photo. And he was going to put his arm around me. And I said, that'd be great. I said, you've got a photo. And he was going to put his arm around me. And I said, no, hey, cut it out. You've got a girlfriend. And so we... There is, I've seen a photo of you guys, arms around each other.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Oh, really? And you've got a photo together, you and Brooklyn Beckham. I couldn't see him again. I said, where are you going now? But he wouldn't tell me. Where are you going now? What are you doing later on for dinner? What did you talk about?
Starting point is 00:25:06 Did you talk about New Zealand or anything like that? Sorry, what was that? Did you talk about New Zealand or anything like that? No, I just said, what are you doing now? And he just said, no, we're sitting here. I thought it was more of a story. What are you doing now? And I said, I actually mentioned you two guys.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I said, I'll be sharing it with them. And he didn't know you. Of course he did. But I said that they're very well known. So I love how you go, what are you doing now? And Brooklyn Beckham's probably thinking, well, I'm trying to get out of this conversation. Well, it's lovely to meet him. I said at the end of it, I said, well,
Starting point is 00:25:39 you would have been very pleased to have met me and then took hands. Oh, there we go. Brooklyn Beckham and Kevin Boyce. What a wonderful, rich conversation. There you go. All right, love you, Dad. Talk soon. Yeah, love you.
Starting point is 00:25:52 All the best, mate. It's Jono, isn't it? Yes, Jono. Wrap him up, wrap him up. See you, mate. The number of boy kids that come up to me and say to me. All right, so get started. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:02 See you, Kev. All the best. Thank you for today, mate. Jeez, he doesn't waste a second on a phone call, does he? All the best, take care of yourself Geez, he doesn't waste a second on a phone call, does he? No, he still wants to go, doesn't he? Now one of the big bugbears I've had Welcoming you into my life, Ben And I've welcomed you in with open arms
Starting point is 00:26:22 It's been a wonderful relationship it doesn't sound like you have one of the big buzz bugbears was when the boys has got a dog you know and the boys
Starting point is 00:26:32 oh the boys have got a dog and this isn't my wife saying it it's my kids the boys have got a dog and then every time you come
Starting point is 00:26:38 they want you to bring the dog yeah right you know and a lot of pressure a lot of acid coming on me over the last three years which I've spoken to you about gotta get a dog gotta get a dog gotta get a dog it's probably my Yeah, right. She's just been hammering home the point. We've been fending her off with battery-operated dogs,
Starting point is 00:27:08 like my little pets and things like that. But eventually, you've got to cave in. It reminded me of New Zealand trying to keep Omicron off our shores at New Year's. Eventually, some DJ's going to come in and let it all loose. It's all the floodgates open. So three weeks ago, G and my wife and myself, we purchased a dog, a puppy.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Oh, exciting. Okay, online. But this is where the trouble comes in is because we're going to keep it a secret from the children. Okay? Through the whole life of the dog or just until you get the... Just until we reveal the dog. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:44 We're going to have this dog. We had a dog for 10 years. It's not going to live in the the dog? Just until we reveal the dog, yeah. We're going to have this dog. We had a dog for 10 years. It's not going to live at the house. You know, you're going to own one. Then we'll tell you. Great prank. But then we're going to do, you know, surprise them when we get it on Anzac Day.
Starting point is 00:28:00 You know, and film it for my Instagram because that's where I had kids to just boost my Instagram followers. I was going to film one of those cute puppy videos of like, look what we've got. But then anyway, yesterday on my computer, the owner, the breeder, had sent me a picture of the puppy and it flashed up
Starting point is 00:28:13 on my computer and boom, Poppy, like she knows every dog breed she knows. She's got like a dog encyclopedia without a word of a lie she reads before she goes to bed.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Whose puppy is that? And I panicked. And this is where if we ever commit a crime of a lie, she reads before she goes to bed. Whose puppy is that? And I panicked. And this is where, if we ever commit a crime together, Ben, don't rely on me in the interrogation room. Because I'm not good on my feet. And she said, whose puppy is that? And I said, it's the work puppy. She's like, you have a work puppy?
Starting point is 00:28:40 And there's no need for a radio station to have a work puppy. Oh, like a mascot for the hits, maybe? Yeah, I know, but she saw holes all through the story. Because she was like, why was your radio show to get a work puppy? And I was like... What sort of extravagant purchase that this radio show would have? We need a work puppy. How much do we spend on a bloody novelty soundproof booth?
Starting point is 00:29:00 Yeah, it would make sense we'd have a work puppy. But, you know, she saw holes all through the plot line. She's like, why would your radio show... And you'd never tell me that we'd have a work puppy. But yeah, she saw holes all through the plot line. She's like, why would you radio show? And you'd never tell me that you've had a work puppy? And what does it do? And I said, oh, it just sits in the studio. Poor dog. Doesn't do much.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Just waits around. It's cute. Its main role is to be cute. So anyway, I had to come clean. Yeah, I had to admit it. So it was my bad. Complete slip up. Can't keep a secret.
Starting point is 00:29:25 So the cat said, well, the dog's out of the bag, is it? That's very exciting. At least I get to look forward to it now. I'm of the thing, I hate surprises. I love the anticipation of looking forward to something. But as soon as I'm surprised, I'm like, well, I'm not prepared for this in any way, shape, or form. A surprise birthday party is your worst nightmare. Imagine that.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Don't do it to me. What if I held a surprise birthday party for you? Oh. Imagine that. Don't do it to me. What if I held a surprise birthday party? Oh, jeez. No, no. I'm not prepared. Mentally, physically. Cancel everyone. Go home.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Go. Leave. Get out. We're doing this next Saturday, okay? I will send out the invites. I will send out a dress code. It'll be a costume party. And I'll be prepared for it.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Yeah. Rise and shine. Time to start the, um, who are we kidding? When are the both of you? Jono and Ben on the hits. There's some wild weather coming to New Zealand and we thought we'd talk to a weather expert from weatherwatch.co.nz. We're now joined by one of our top 20 favourite weather experts.
Starting point is 00:30:22 It's Philip Duncan. Wow. What a compliment. Top 20. That's good. Weather watch. We love weather experts. It's Philip Duncan. Wow, what a compliment. Top 20. Top 20 is good, isn't it? Weather Watch. We love Weather Watch. That puts me up there with Jim Hickey and 19 others. Hey, Philip, lovely to have you on from weatherwatch.co.nz.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Jeez, you must be frothing for weeks like this when cyclones are coming in your gig. Yeah, I've got to admit, they're kind of like, if you're into sport, it's kind of like, it's sort of our version of the Rugby World Cup, I guess. It's like the big thing that everyone's talking about and then all of a sudden no one's talking about it again the next day. It's kind of odd. So where's the cyclone coming from?
Starting point is 00:30:57 So it's coming from the New Caledonia area. It actually fell apart on Friday as a tropical cyclone and now it's reforming as what we call an extra-tropical. It means it doesn't have a warm, tropical middle to it. It's like more of the storms we get down in the Southern Ocean, except rather than being down there, it's up around Northland and Auckland and the upper part of the North Island. So the difference between a cyclone, excuse my ignorance here,
Starting point is 00:31:22 a cyclone and a tropical cyclone, we're just talking temperature. Yeah, basically, yeah. The middle of it is the only thing that's changed from having a warm core to a cold core. Most of us won't even notice that. Is there any difference in terms of its ferocity? It is actually getting deeper in air pressure, and the winds are picking up today.
Starting point is 00:31:42 It's getting as strong as it was when it was a tropical cyclone. The good news is it's tracking a little bit further east in the modelling this morning. That actually spares Auckland from the very worst of it, although we're still in the risk zone, but not as bad as it could have been. And it's a similar story for Wellington as well. It's sort of pushing it further out towards Gisborne, Bay of Plenty, Coromandel and Hawke's Bay. Those are the areas most impacted. So bad weather is obviously coming. When is it expected to start and when is it expected to sort of tail off? So it'll be really kicking in later on today.
Starting point is 00:32:15 It peaks overnight tonight and on Wednesday. And by Wednesday night, it should already be starting to move away. By Thursday morning, it's gone. So it's really tonight and Wednesday that it's with us. So, Philip Duncan, we're meant to go fishing tomorrow. Yeah, that was the plan. This is why we got you on. John, I streamed to catch a fish.
Starting point is 00:32:34 He's never caught a fish. We're going to take him out on a charter. Now we're like... It's going to be live on the radio. Do we just plow on? I said to your producer earlier, I'm amazed that you've never caught a fish. That does surprise me, but I'm the that you've never caught a fish that does surprise me
Starting point is 00:32:46 but I'm the same, put me on a boat I'm more likely to open a bottle of something than I am to get a fish brought out with your experience and the weather coming up my suggestion is give it a pass this week move it to next week, it'll be more settled next week than it will be tomorrow
Starting point is 00:33:01 ok but that's you on a professional capacity absolutely what does mad dog Phil Duncan want to say to us settled next week, then it will be tomorrow. Okay, but that's you on a professional capacity. Absolutely. Mad dog Phil Duncan. What does mad dog Phil Duncan want to say to us? Go out there and give it a bash? No, he can't. We do build up, we love to build up a storm arrival, don't we? And Night Bean says a lot of the time they do peter out.
Starting point is 00:33:18 In those instances, you must be like, oh, come on. There's a little bit of that, especially when it goes so close to a main centre and you don't want it to hurt people, but you kind of want the TVNZ reporter standing in the five millimetres of water to look a little bit more dramatic. That does happen and you think, oh, that makes us look bad.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Yeah, you're like, come on, you don't want the devastation, but you want to prove a point. I get where you're at. Now, Philip, looking ahead to Easter, we've got four days off, baby. Thanks, Jesus. What are we doing? Forecast
Starting point is 00:33:49 for Easter weekend is not too bad. There's a lot of high pressure around, so it should be mostly dry. There just might be a bit of cloud in the north and a couple of showers at both ends of the country, but there is at this stage no storm. Normally at Easter, it's like one day sunny and next
Starting point is 00:34:06 day stormy, so this year might not be quite too intense. And mild in northern New Zealand, that's for sure. Alright, Phil Duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz Appreciate your time this morning. My pleasure. Have a good day. Tell you what, the weather's always sunny when we talk to you, Phil. Top 20. Top 20. He's in the top 20.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Thanks, Philip. We're talking bargain hunters. We want to know 100 the hits or 4487. What was the best bargain that you've ever got for anything? We'd love you to impress us with your bargain. Now, producer B Humps has come to work after the weekend. He came in yesterday and he's wearing a new jacket.
Starting point is 00:34:37 It's a lovely looking jacket and he's like, guess how much I paid for this jacket. The Kiwi thing, eh? The Kiwis love us. Tell us, what do you think I paid for this? Well, I'll tell you what was the full marked price on it. It was $159.99. That's an expensive jacket. Yeah, big money.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Now, for some reason in New Zealand, we do like to brag about how cheap we buy things. But you mentioned it yesterday after work there. In America, it's the opposite. Yeah. Look how much I paid for this thing. Not here in New Zealand. We're almost embarrassed if we paid full price. You know, don't even admit you pay full price.
Starting point is 00:35:09 That's why Briscoe's has to have a sale every weekend. Because no one would pay full price. So, Producer Behumps, do we have to guess how much you paid for this $159 jacket? Do you think I paid for this $159 jacket? I'm guessing it was a bargain. Yeah, like if you've made it a point of conversation for the last two days, it's got to be... I'm saying under $100.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I'm going to say $99. So you've got under $100. That's good savings. That's a good savings. That's what's at how much? But you're not even close. I'm not even close. Not even close.
Starting point is 00:35:36 $60. Less. Not even a real currency, but... Less. Less. Less than $60. I reckon he got it for $40. Less.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Wow. $12. I got it for... $2. $35. It's not $2. I was making money, but I saved $125. I made $125 by buying this jacket.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Is that jacket waterproof? Because it's about to rain, bro, with all that cash you just saved. It might not be waterproof. It's just a good autumnal layer. When you get a saving like that, and thank you for using autumnal for the first time on this show as well, that won't go unnoticed. Do you wonder also how much,
Starting point is 00:36:24 because they're clearly still making money off it. You're like, how much are they actually making this stuff for? Oh, amazing. You know? Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:36:31 My wife loves that. She's like, are you like this bell? She's like, oh, I save, always about how much you save before she'll tell me the price.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Definitely. I save 40%, I save 60%. You can dress it up, you can dress it down, all the options. Yeah, totally. Amanda is completely right
Starting point is 00:36:43 because you've got to, you know, things are expensive, especially like makeup and stuff. And so you've got to, you know, things are expensive, especially like makeup and stuff. And so you've got to lie and be like, oh, I saved this much money. But I'm like, how much was it? And then it'll be like, it's cute, right? And I'm like, yeah, it's cute.
Starting point is 00:36:53 But how much was it? But it's cute. How cute is this? I can dress it up. I can dress it down. It's going to last me ages. I'm like, how much was the thing you paid? And do you ever get that?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. You get bamboozled with the cuteness. And how many percentage she saved off this thing. Yeah. And you just lie about, I just lie about the price.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Do you know on Friday I went to a cafe. Do you know, guess how much I got three scones for. Three takeaway cafe quality scones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Guess how much. 30 cents. Yeah. It's going to be like 15 bucks. 20 bucks? $3.50. Oh, that's actually really good. Three scones.
Starting point is 00:37:31 They were end of day scones and they were harder than rocks, but still. Bug them in the microwave, nuke them a bit. $3.50. Incredible. So Bargain Brags,
Starting point is 00:37:41 you phone us up, tell us what the item is, we'll try and guess how little you paid for it. We're talking bargain hunters. Brag about your bargain. Kiwis love a bargain. They hate paying full price for anything.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah, and producer Behunt's been revelling in the glory of buying a jacket on Sunday, which he got for $30. $150 for 59 recommended retail value for that jacket. It's almost like you just purchased the jacket so you could say how cheap you got the jacket for. Did you have any need for a camo jacket? No. No need.
Starting point is 00:38:12 But it's brought him some great conversation over the last two days. So the bargain brag line is open. You just tell us the item. We need to guess how little you paid for it. What was the last bargain you got, boys? I remember screwing up something that I thought was a bargain,
Starting point is 00:38:26 a trade me purchase, and going over somewhere with my wife and going, oh, I'll handle it. And I remember offering money. And in my head, I thought that was $20 cheaper than what they wanted, but it was actually $40 more than what they wanted. And they're like, yeah, yeah, sweet.
Starting point is 00:38:40 I was like, yeah, well, give us $120. Oh, were you trying to... I was trying to lowball them a little bit. Yeah, but I didn't work out because I got the price wrong. Ended up offering more. Why didn't you look at the price before you went in? Well, I thought I did. Anyway, there was a lot going on that day.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I was going to give you double what you want for it. I was like, yeah, you can if you want, but you only wanted $80. We'll get Tracey on from Taranaki. Morning, Tracey. How are you? Good morning. Good, thank you. Lovely to have you on.
Starting point is 00:39:05 You named the item. What is it? A Crown Lynn Vase. A Crown Lynn Vase. Now, we need to guess how cheap you purchased this for. Yep. Okay. I don't know what a Crown Lynn Vase is, but I'm going to go Vases.
Starting point is 00:39:19 You're looking at maybe $100 plus. I'm going to go you got it for $20. Nope. $10. Nope. $5. No. $10. No. $5. No. $1. No.
Starting point is 00:39:32 How much? $0.50. $0.50? Oh, wow. I thought, jeez, you can't get any lower than a dollar, but you did. That is a cheap-ass vest. And I sold it for $90 to an art dealer. Oh, you sold it for $90?
Starting point is 00:39:47 Yeah. Bargain. Wow. Bloody bargain, Tracy. That is a bargain. We have friends that go around like garage sales and stuff. They make a killing. They make a killing people who do all that stuff. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Oh, Tracy, we're going to send you out some Hell Pizza as well, contact delivery, contactless delivery, and pickup available at Hell Pizza as well. Thank you. Hey, Tracy, how much did you pay for that pizza? Nothing. Bloody bargain. We'll sell it off for double the price, won't you?
Starting point is 00:40:21 Hey, Bill, who's helping us out at the moment, you were saying there's a great hack on Google when you're looking for stuff online. Yeah, I started doing this last year. It's like on Google, you just search in what you're looking for, like if it's a particular product name or whatever, and it's got this shopping tab, and then it live will give you prices so you can compare where you can get the best deal.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Get the cheapest deal. Yeah, love it. You like that, Ben? I like that. Put that in your Google search engine. If you need to buy anything, let me know first, and I'll find you the best price. James, you're on from Tauranga.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Anything you buy now, James, you contact Belle Crawford and she'll find you the price first. Not everyone. You just said everyone. Just us. James, welcome. What was the item? We'll try and guess how little you paid for it. When I was in university in Otago, I had an old Mr. Whippy van.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Mr. Whippy van. Okay. Ex-ice cream proprietor. I'm going to say $10,000. I'm going to go $1,500. No. You were so close. How much?
Starting point is 00:41:20 $1,800. Wow. The problem is all the rotting cream that's been sitting in there for five years. Yeah. Did you ever use the machine? Well, no. The ice cream machine was actually not working,
Starting point is 00:41:35 but the funny thing is, when I was at university, we used to make just alcoholic frozen slushies for my friends. Oh, so you'd do that in the Mr. Whippy van. Yeah, nice, smart move. That's my Mississippi idea. Remember I had the idea for the drunken sounding...
Starting point is 00:41:51 Yeah, but health and safety. The man. The man. The suits always get in your way, don't they, when you're trying to peddle alcohol to the young kids? Good on you, James. Have a great day. We'll send you out some hell pizza, all right?

Starting point is 00:49:38 and now we're in a weird thing about... Yeah, anyway. I'll just move on. So the pandemic has affected many areas of life. Professionally speaking, a lot of businesses suffering as well. And also intimacy, Ben. The dating scene. Now, are you a single guy?
Starting point is 00:49:57 I know you like the ladies around here to believe you are. No, I don't. Don't go saying things like that, Jono. That's awful. Thank you, Balfour. He's a lovely, loyal husband. Yeah, he is. That's awful. Thank you, Belfast. He's a deadly loyal husband. He is, but he likes to give off a single vibe. No, he does not.
Starting point is 00:50:10 He's like, hey, young millennials, I'm here if you need me. Do you know this slander I have to put up with, Belfast? I had to speak up for you. It's no good. Thank you, Belfast. He doesn't actually do that. No, he's not at all. We were talking about dating yesterday, though, Belfast,
Starting point is 00:50:24 because you kind of in a way not in a bad way got tricked, but you know, there was misled about your now partner. There was no tinder swindle. My enemies are after me. I didn't get swindled out of money. But no, he tricked me into thinking he had a dog. There was a dog he was holding in his profile on Bumble.
Starting point is 00:50:40 It was a prop dog. And it got you across the line though, didn't it? I was like, I can't wait to meet your dog. But yes, seven out of ten single people say they are really struggling to date at the moment. Now, gathering, you know, having to ask someone to take a rat test and waiting 15 minutes really sucks the atmosphere out of the room, doesn't it? It takes away the chemistry. No real romance. Lockdown, you're right.
Starting point is 00:51:05 For all those times that we were in lockdown, particularly in Auckland, it would have been hard to sort of date, to see people. And even now, I imagine there's a bit of hesitancy going back into the dating world. Well, and also sharing mouth fluids with a complete stranger probably seems
Starting point is 00:51:16 not like the ideal conditions at the moment, is it? So, you know, dating not going well. So what we wanted to do, for those that can date, or Ben, like you, like to appear, they can date. Maybe have dated. Let's remind everyone what is dating like? Your best dating moment.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Or let's be honest, we're after your worst. I'll throw one out there. My wife and I, which obviously wasn't my wife at the time, we went on a bit of a double date early in the relationship and sort of your hot food situation and the other guy that was with he was like i love spicy food i'm like yeah me too mate love spicy i don't know why i said that uh and i well because you're trying to keep up appearances aren't you and i had a bite of something it was really hot chilly and it sort of took my breath away and i thought i was choking and i went and i stood stood upright in the restaurant,
Starting point is 00:52:07 and I slammed my hands down on the table, cutlery shaking. It made a huge scene. Everyone looking up like, oh, my God. And then it just instantly went away, and then I sort of slowly sat back down. And everyone was like, why did he make such a scene for such a small moment? I'm like, yeah, I'm good now, guys. Thanks. Yeah, so that was a really – it was hard to pull that back.
Starting point is 00:52:26 That was early on in the night. Yeah, well, I mean, that's just a run out of the restaurant situation for me. What happened to that guy? I don't know. Made a bit of a scene. Breakfast with Jono and Ben. We're talking dates and date nights
Starting point is 00:52:37 because the dating has been tough through the pandemic, but it's happening again now, which is good. Well, seven out of 10 single people say they're really struggling to date. And nine out of ten dentists recommend Sensadon as well, if you're wanting more stance. Just while that song was playing, Bell Crawford, who's filling in at the moment, you mentioned a great story when you were dating. Yeah, so I went on this date with this guy.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I'd been set up by a friend. He was nice, but I wasn't really keen on seeing him again. Lovely. And his car actually got towed during our date. He'd parked over someone's driveway, like, looking. Yeah, I mean, it's a fatal error. And then we'd come outside and he's like, oh, but Carl's gone.
Starting point is 00:53:14 So I had to Uber him to the tow yard. It was so awkward. Did he pick you up in his car? No, no, no, no. I Ubered there. I had to Uber him and I took him in the Uber to the tow yard. He'd get his car out. He'd just Uber himself.
Starting point is 00:53:29 That's actually a good point. Why did I do that? Oh, that's great. I don't know. Okay, 0800 the hits. You know, just remind us about dating, because then maybe these people who can't date, they might be quite happy in the fact that they're not out there mixing and mingling at the moment. Martin, good morning.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Morning, fellas. How's it going? Yeah, good. Yeah, good. Yeah, good. What happened to you on the date? Well, you know, I was recently separated, and I thought I'd check out the dating scene. What is it like when you,
Starting point is 00:53:56 because I imagine you're probably coming off a very long-term relationship, what's it like getting back out in the field? Yeah. You know, just, like, nervous, like your first date again, because you don't know what to expect. You're kind of putting yourself out there as well, aren't you? I have no idea what to do now. Yeah. You know, just like nervous, like your first date again, because you don't know what to expect. You're kind of putting yourself out there as well, aren't you? I have no idea what to do now.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Yeah. Yeah. Well, imagine having to put something there that, you know, sort of says, you know, I'm 50-something, I've got kids, you'll just have to deal with that. Is that what's in your dating profile? I don't know much about dating profile, but I think you just have to deal with it. Maybe you should put it on your bio
Starting point is 00:54:27 but hey. Listen Mark, I'm past the prime of my life but you're going to have to deal with it. Yeah, just handle it.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I'm ready to go. Just handle it. I love it. But yeah, this lady, you know, she replied and she's like,
Starting point is 00:54:40 oh yeah, lovely, you know, blah, blah, blah. Why don't you pick me up and we'll go specifically to this restaurant. And we have to go at exactly this time.
Starting point is 00:54:49 And it's like, all right, you know, maybe it's her favorite restaurant. Yeah, she's like, you'll have to deal with it. So, you know, picked her up. Out we go for dinner. We're sitting there talking away, talk a bit about myself, you know, about my kids and all that. And I said, oh, so what about you? And she goes, oh, yeah, talk a bit about myself, tell, you know, about my kids and all that. And I said, oh, so what about you? And she goes, oh, yeah, sorry, I wasn't really listening.
Starting point is 00:55:09 You know, I only came here because I know my ex-partner's sitting there with his new date and I just wanted to make him jealous. Oh, so she's at the restaurant at the same time? That's it. She knew exactly where he was going, who he was going with, and, yeah, just basically just wanted to flaunt the fact that someone
Starting point is 00:55:26 would date her as well. Oh, so you were used as jealous content fodder on the date. Exactly. And a free dinner. Yeah. Got a free dinner. Hey, happy for a free dinner. Martin, always love talking to you, mate.

That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Yeah, it's a bit like that. He got through it and the food got through him. The things you do for love. Good on you, Alison. Well, I'm glad you're still together now and it didn't leave a mark on your relationship. Yeah, no, it's not too bad Only the fitted sheets
