Yeah! John O'Byrne and Megan. The Podcast. The Hits. Welcome to the podcast, the second podcast, the second full podcast back for the year. It's great to be back. Megan Pappas, currently looking at... Don't say I'm stalking... Don't. What are you saying? I'm stalking Liam. I was just going to say, Megan Pappas, currently looking magnificent. You've really outed yourself, haven't you? What were you looking at?

What was I looking at? Liam Lawson. Liam Lawson Who we talked about on yesterday's podcast How I got a photo with him It wasn't a shirtless photo But after looking at those photos of your show It could have been He is ripped

I suppose he's a pro athlete It makes sense Here's a question Has he become hotter now he's in the top team? Yes. No, because I've never – I didn't know him before the top team. Oh, you mean when he was still in –

When he was just doing like – AlphaTauri. AlphaTauri or like Formula 1. All right. Okay. So that's kind of like – So you've got Newstalk ZB. That's the top tier.

And then the hits was the lower tier. Yeah, right. So, the Red Bull Racing top tier, right? Alpha Tauri. He's still the same. He's a good-looking guy. He's a baby team. He's a good-looking guy.

Also, he's had the Red Bull glow-up, so he's, like, chopped his hair and stuff. He's, like, had a makeover almost. Well, I'd love to actually. No, but, okay. Disclaimer. That's not what I like about him. No, no. I've never been attracted to him in a sexy way.

It's purely a platonic relationship that he knows nothing about. And you admire his driving skills. I do. I find other guys attractive in Formula One, but that's not what I like about Liam. Also, weirdly, because I could walk into him at some point and I don't want it to be weird. He seems like a lovely guy. The brief

interaction I had with him seems like a really lovely genuine down to earth guy. Yeah, and I really want him to do well. Yeah. But also he's really great. Well, I loved it actually because we were lucky enough I don't know how we ended up in this box with these famous people and I don't know how we ended up there but it was awesome.

My daughter, I think they thought you were Dan Hooker. Maybe they did. Maybe I can't know how we ended up there but it was awesome um my daughter I think they thought you were Dan Hooker maybe they turned UFC fighter that's what happened maybe I can't have a box of all these elite athletes I wonder why name tags you're Dan Hooker you can be in the you know mixed with the likes of Liam Lawson yeah well my daughter Sienna like she knows a lot of people but then she doesn't know a lot of people that I know like Liam Lawson you know like I know of so I'll be like we Lawson, or you know, like I know of. So I'd be like, we're chatting away. She's like, he's nice. What does he do?

I'd be like, oh, he's Liam Lawson. Or like Sam Whitelock's there. And he's like, he's nice. What does he do? Oh, he's like, Hamish Kerr was there, gold medalist. I was like, oh, Hamish Kerr's won a gold. Has he? Yeah, wow.

You know, like it's quite nice. But then I think they might find that quite refreshing. Yeah, and they're all lovely, you know. Like it's, you know, and probably quite nice to your right. Yeah. It's called just genuine down-to-earth people. Even just listing those names, I'm like, you're 100% the odd one out there.

Oh, totally. Absolutely. Didn't you talk to Liam's, was it his mum or his dad? His mum, yeah, his mum, yeah. It was really lovely. I had a chat to her, and she was like saying how cool it was and how proud they are. Obviously they are, but just kind of finding it a bit unusual

that he's getting to meet Luke Combs before the concert, and he's going at the prime minister she's like it's just liam it's my boy it's liam it's got how you know everyone wants a signature everyone wants his photo it's you know and she's like oh it's awesome but it's just liam you know so as a mum you'd be like oh that's just my boy um so yeah for them i guess the last couple of years in particular would be just such a game changer blown up yeah it's your boy, but your boy is more successful than all the other boys in the country. He's the best Formula One team all the time. Well, I enjoy the podcast, which starts with me sharing a story that I probably shouldn't

have shared. But anyway, here it is. I didn't know if I should tell the story or not, but my wife is like, you've got to tell the story. And maybe by sharing my issues, it may help other people as well and you maybe feel seen because i do over issues it's just your shtick well i do overthink stuff and it probably comes from in the past where i haven't overthought you know i haven't thought things through and things have got to you know worst case scenarios you know but ben isn't worrying

about something ben isn't living and i've got worse and worse over the years when things you know so now i'm like i may need to make sure everything's going to be okay for my own peace of mind. He has the nervous energy of a bank robber waiting in line about to go up to the teller and rob the bank. Exactly. Constantly a little bit jittery. Yeah.

And so the handbrake situation where I thought I put my handbrake on many years ago, I've talked about, I obviously didn't, and the car rolled down the driveway. Fortunately, no one was hurt the car smashed into a fence and now I'm like oh my god have I left the handbrake on I take photos of the handbrake if I leave the car for a long period of time great photo stream of handbrake photos if you want a handbrake pic he'll send you one yeah just don't get it mixed up with the other pics the iron the iron I talked about that was a weird one Just before Christmas Oh that tickled me

So he always Can't remember If he'd put the iron on or not So he decided to Take the iron For a ride in the car Took the iron for a drive He took the iron

In the car His daughter's like Why is the iron here Now yeah Did you Put a seatbelt Because it's quite a heavy object No it was sort of down

In the footwell Yeah the footwell So yeah But then you're probably Driving along going If I have a car accident There's going to be an iron Flying around in here Then did was sort of down in the footwell. Yeah, the footwell. But then you're probably driving along going, if I have a car accident, there's going to be an iron flying around in here. Then did you forget the iron in the car? No, I brought it back inside afterwards.

I kept an eye on that iron just while it cooled down. Most travelled iron in the appliance game. Now, back story over the holidays, there was horrible stuff going on in Los Angeles. There was fires going on and I'd been watching a lot of that stuff as well. You know, hot weather, we were in Australia and we'd bought some matches

because we had some candles at the place in the apartment we'd been doing. It came in like a three box of matches we'd bought. For a guy who also is very worried about things, candles. It wasn't really my thing to get candles over the face. Who likes a candle on holiday?

There were some candles, they were insect repellent ones as well. Oh, okay. So, yeah, we kind of had those when you're sitting outside. And so we had three lots of matches and then they were like, one of the rules for the apartment is like, get rid of everything

when you go, get rid of it. And so I'm like, well, we've got pretty much three boxes of matches. What am I going to do? Put it in the rubbish bags, leave them downstairs. I'm like, jeez, it's 40 degrees.

It's hot. It is hot. They might ignite in the bag. What happens if three bags of matches set off? Not your problem. You're gone. Well, yeah,, it's 40 degrees. It's hot. It is hot. It might ignite in the bag. What happens if three bags of matches set off? Not your problem. You're gone. Well, yeah, but it is my problem. No, but then I go back on the CCTV footage.

This man's fled the country. Yeah. So, in my head, I'm like, what do I need to do? This is where my brain goes. So, I was like, well, I need to go into the bathroom and soak the matches. And so, I did this by myself. And then my wife walked in. She's like, what are you doing? I'm like, out of all the things I could catch you doing in the bathroom, this is the matches. And so I did this by myself, and then my wife walked in. She's like, what are you doing?

I'm like, there's all the things I can catch you doing in the bathroom. This is the weirdest. There's like red dye from the tips of the matches going everywhere. I'm like, oh, geez, don't stain anything. I'm soaking the matches. I'm like, soaking the matches so they don't combust and set a fire in the Gold Coast. And then afterwards, I don't know why I did this,

and this is why she's like, you've got to talk about this. It wasn't enough for me. It wasn't enough for my brain. So you already drenched the matches. I drenched them. Why didn't you just go through and light them all? Gosh, I couldn't have done that. I put them in a plastic bag and then I filled the plastic bag up with water and tied it.

And it looked like I'd got a goldfish from a pet shop. You know one of those looks? And put that in the rubbish. And my wife's like, oh my goodness, what are you doing? I'm like, there's no way I can catch a light now. Then he drives off from the hotel and he throws his ciggy butt out the window. Yeah, that's it. That's it.

Said a few things. I didn't think that one through though, did I? That was part of the problem. We relaxed on that front for some reason. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hits. Today, Megan, you got an interesting text from your husband.

I wanted to run something past you because he gives me an update on how the morning's going most mornings before he starts work. But this text was different. I just got a to-do list. So he just said, if you get a chance today, can you? And there's bullet points. I feel like me and Andrew are very compatible. Yeah, you guys are very similar.

It's weird. Moved up the runs on Ben's ladder. Yeah. Because he's got a document on our phone that connects to both of us, so we can both edit the note. And it's a running to-do list for both of us. But I never go on that list. Yeah, that's why my wife is mad.

She's like, I like to write it down on a notebook. I'm like, I and man she's like I like to write it down on a notebook I'm like I don't know your notebook system I write it down on my brain and that's probably why things don't often get done so what was on the what was on the to-do list yesterday I had to need to get done um I had to send him a questionnaire this thing that he's working on I had to um make a booking for our dog to go to the vet I had to make a booking for our dog to go to the vet. I had to make a reservation for his birthday dinner. See, Andrew, do you know what? Because he knows it wouldn't happen. You mentioned last year that Andrew's got another policy, the one-touch policy.

And I have been implementing this all summer. Have you? Yeah, I'll be honest with you. I'm so sorry, Amanda. I told Ben about this. My family are getting annoyed by it. So it's a great one. If you get something, I've got a newspaper right now, instead of going, I know my family are getting annoyed by it but it's a great one if you get something

I've got a newspaper right now instead of going I need to put that in the bin and putting it down put it in the bin put it straight away

take your shoes don't leave it by the door put it away touch one touch because I take my shoes off at the door but then it becomes

a collection of shoes I keep saying the one touch policy I think that's my relationship with my wife now it's only one touch that I'll ever have

for the rest of the year. And that's enough to get him through 12 months. Because that's how much is winding her up. There's one touch for the rest of your life, buddy. But the one-touch policy, I do. I'm on board with it. The bane of my existence. You do get moving and living in the world's most neurotic household.

You and Andrew. There you go. Well, it seemed like less of a to-do list and more of like you're a role of a personal assistant there yeah but also like a lot of these things on the air were things that I needed to do

and he was like giving me a to-do list of what I need to do micromanaging that's what my wife calls it micromanaging she's like micromanaging me again

find quotes call her out and find quotes for your wheel on your car I love it Andrew send me a to-do list any day it'll be fun.

He'll, I tell you what, he'll book the birthday dinner for you on behalf of Megan. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hit. You claim you've caused long-lasting trauma. Seems like it.

How can you tell if it's going to last? Like, how often would they go on about it if it's going to actually traumatise the kids? Well, I still bang on about the fact this is to do with theme parks. My parents both didn't take me to the Gold Coast to theme parks. They took my sister. So it still lasted with me many, many years later.

But see, maybe they were onto something because I took my son, he's three, almost four, to the Gold Coast, which is a rite of passage to go to the theme parks for some, maybe not Ben. Maybe not me. Now I went back and actually my daughter and I went every single ride the whole day there. That's how much the trauma's left with us. You're like stuck at mum and dad. Now he's passing his trauma on to his kids.

We're going to go on every ride. We're going to stay there all day. Oh, dear. Really? Can we come back another day and finish it? We went three days, actually, to be honest. Oh, you really made the most of it. Damn right.

I think by now you've made up for your... Maybe I have. So we went there, and obviously they're quite little. My kids are like two and, let's say, four. So we were going on little rides, but there was one there that my son was tall enough to go on because they have the little measuring things. Oh, the stick, yeah.

You always try and tip it when you're a bit young. You try and tippy-toe up to that little thing to hit the top of your head, don't you? Yeah, and he had seen it. It was a roller coaster. He'd seen it go around and around above us and he was like, I want to do that. And so we were like, are you sure?

So we watched it for a little bit. It went forwards and backwards and round and round it looked terrifying um but he was like i really want to go on it so my husband's like i'll take him that's what he wants to we'll go do it he's tall enough it's safe so he takes him through they had the fast pass so there was no standing in line to reconsider his options oh so i can hear some groaning here about fast we're waiting all day when people like you with their fast passes would go past. Oh, look at those people.

Disdain for people with fast passes. You're just a better class of person with a fast pass, aren't you? My daughter kept going, can we get one? No, they're quite expensive. So we were living the privileged life. He went straight to the front of the queue. Can you tell when you've got a fast pass if people are like staring daggers at you? Yeah.

Yeah. But I kind of didn't care. That was me. That was me. He was on the lower deck of the Titanic. You know, you're on the top deck, weren't you? But he also was like, well, you could have got one. Sorry.

But you're too tight. So he goes up there straight on the ride, pulls down the little thingy over his head, and apparently he says to my husband, I don't want to do this anymore. And at that point, it's locked in. You know, it's imminent. It's going to happen.

And Andrew's like, oh, mate, I can't help you now. Just hold on. It'll be okay. Trying to reassure him. And it takes off. He starts clinging to him. His eyes are closed. And he's just screaming, I want to get off.

Why would anyone do this? What have we done? And so I'm standing outside waiting for the wave, watching it go round and round as he's just clinging and eyes closed and gripping and screaming. And I was like, oh, this is not going well. Tears dropping down upon you. It's not going well.

And that is going to have a long-lasting effect. So every night before we go to bed, he's like, can you tell me a story? And we just talk about his day. And he's like, and I'm not going on the fast thing again, eh? Every night. It's like, oh, no, you're not going on the fast thing. I was like, but you were so brave.

He's like, no, I wasn't. I didn't like it. Yeah. He's like, remember that time you were a shocking parent and let me go on that roller coaster? You don't know. You don't know. He might have come off and gone,

that's the greatest thing ever. It's a kid. It's a 50-50. Yes, I want to do it. He watched it. And it's just meant to be a fun thing. And for some people, I understand it's not. But for other people, he could have gone on.

You did that with your daughter. Yeah, I did. I can actually tell you about that as well. I can reminisce with you on that. I left her some theme park trauma as well. Actually, oh, 100thehats4487. Maybe make Megan feel a bit better or worse. And how long does the trauma last?

Yeah. 100thehats4487. Have you been a victim of theme park trauma? Maybe when you're growing up, maybe you put it onto your kids. Maybe have you ever had anyone dangling upside down with the things broken down? Oh, my God. If we can talk to one of those people. Jono, Ben and Megan.

The podcast. The hits. Talking theme park trauma. Megan went to the Gold Coast over the holiday period. Your son wanted to go on a more adventurous ride, I guess, for his age. It's technically a roller coaster. I just showed you. It was Jungle Rush and Dream World.

But he's traumatised now. And he talks about it almost every day, being like, oh, remember that fast. Am I going on the fast ride? You were playing us a video and you're like, oh, it's all right. Like trying to look for backup from us. It looks fun. It looks fun. I'll give you that.

I'm a theme park person. It's definitely a rollercoaster. I took my daughter. He is three. As I say, one of my daughters loves a theme park. The other one is getting braver the older she gets. But it's not really her thing. I took my daughter. As I say, one of my daughters loves the theme park. The other one is getting braver the older she gets, but it's not really her thing, probably like your son. And I went to a water park with her once.

All day she'd go up the top and she'd go, maybe I'll do it. No, I can't. Maybe I'll do it. No, I can't. And I went, let's go on this ride together. Trust me, it'll be fine. Whenever anyone says trust me,

they are always the most least trustworthy person. As a gamble, it was a 50-50 gamble, and unfortunately that wasn't the right one, and she did not enjoy it. I was like, oh, no. And you said, trust me. And now she's like, I know you feel real bad about it. I'm like, do I feel awful?

Does she trust you now that trust issues as well as theme park issues? No, now I'm like, I've never been on the ride. I don't know. I don't know if you'll like it. It's all on you. Sign this NDA. Do something. Hey, I went never been on the ride. I don't know. I don't know if you'll like it. It's all on you. Sign this NDA. Do something. Hey, hey, hey.

I went over the hits. Theme park trauma. We're going to get you on this morning. Peter, how are you, my darling? I'm very well, thanks, guys. Hi. Good. Three of you were that welcome, didn't I?

Yeah, that's a little unusual. Three of me. Three of everyone. So we're talking theme park trauma. What was it for you? I grew up in Zimbabwe, and they had like a single roller coaster theme park that used to go around. And I went there with my parents, and they had this ride called the Octopus,

which kind of spun round and round, and you had these little pods. That's fun as well. So I'm gathering the tentacles of the octopus where you were sitting on the end of those as they were flying around. Yeah, that's right so i was queuing up there with my parents to get on this ride watching it i've been wanting to go on this thing for a while and it was spinning and then one of the pods came off uh-oh final off this thing and then obviously the crowd are like i'm gonna have to shut the they shut the the ride down

straight away and that traumatized me from being on me from going to theme parks for a while after that. I can imagine. Jeez, when you see a malfunctioning octopus. There was no one on or in the pod, right? No, there was. There was someone in the pod, but I don't think it was going at full speed. I think we were shuffled away,

and I didn't really find out what happened. You can imagine the person in the pod going, you think you were traumatised mate? Nothing to see here, nothing to see here. There you go, there you go. They shuffled us away. That's some candy floss. I don't want to have a sweeping generalisation but I'm never 100%

confident on those travelling ones. You know, the travelling theme parks. It's part of the thrill. Part of the thrill. It is. And I've been on my first year of them and I'm like, am I going to make it out of this alive? Oh, appreciate your call. I'm glad you're here to toss the towel. Let's get to another call been on my first year of them and I'm like, am I going to make it out of this alive? Oh, I appreciate your call. I'm glad you're here to toss the towel. Let's get to another call now. Joe, morning. How are you, darling? I'm good.

Darling, say darling. Stop saying that. It's weird. Say darling, Joe. She's good, sweetheart. Yeah, no, thank you for that. I went to Rainbow's End and I went with my daughter. She was about 10, I figure. And she said, oh, I want to go on that ride.

I said, okay. So I got on, and it turned her upside down and around. And she was screaming. You're still laughing about it. You're like, what's the matter? Well, it's one of those things. You're either a theme park person or you're not. I think it was Rainbow's End where the fun begins,

and she found out where the fun ended. For her. For her. I remember I went to Rainbow's End as a child, and this was theme park trauma, probably less traumatic for me, but for my friend. And it was like one of those things on a Friday night, and they'd hired it out for primary schools.

Oh, yeah. And all the primary school kids were there, and me and my friend went with his girlfriend, Deirdre. Okay? And then we're waiting in line to catch the log flume. Deirdre savagely dumps him as we're waiting in line for the log flume. And then we had to awkwardly all go. Because I was with Deirdre's friend.

I was just taking Deirdre's friend to make up the numbers. Zero plus one. Yeah. So it was Deirdre, me, my friend, and Deirdre's friend all sitting in the log flume, fresh off a break-up. Oh, enough. Should have done it just before the drop. Jump out of the line and be like, oh, well, I'm not riding this with you, Deirdre.

I did think about exiting the log flume. It was the most awkward seven minutes of my life. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Thank you for hanging out with us, 2025. Now, you guys have got a lot of flies in your household. Oh my God, yes.

Yeah. I've tried multiple things now to get rid of them. There's a plug thing that like sends out a little... I keep the doors shut. I'm just a keep the doors shut family. If you have pot plants, correct me if I'm wrong, I think they, Don't they lay little Eggies in your pot plants

And stuff And then when it gets to summer They all hatch out So don't answer them In your house We did speak to Rude the bug man And jeez he loves his bugs

Doesn't he Rude I can only imagine How you walk into his house Just like Cobwebs Leave it Leave it Don't you

Leave the bugs He said windy weather Which we're getting a lot of At the moment Terrible Because all the flies Are like Oh it's it's blowing a gale out here. I'll go inside where there's less wind. But you don't even open the doors, do you?

No, my wife hates it. She's like, it's so hot and stuffy in this house. I'm like, keep the doors open. The flies will come in. If you're hot, you go outside. I'm like, if you go outside and get some fresh air, come back in. So you're stifling just so you don't have flies. Oh, yeah.

That's why it really winds me up. You never wondered why Nellie wrote that song? Went over to Ben's house once. I gave him a fly swat and I'm like, mate. You're on your own here, Nellie. So Jen, my wife, she can't stand flies. Yeah. They do get it once you're zeroing on them and you can't take your attention off them.

So she wanders around with a big giant can of red mortine, you know. That's my husband, yeah. Does he love it? Yeah. So 45% extra deadly chemicals. See, I won't spray that in the house because I don't know what that's doing. So that's my problem as well. I'm like, it's going to be killing me as well, this thing.

I mean, what chemicals are in this? You don't use fly spray. No, no, you use fly spray. Oh, that's funny spray. That's funny. The fly's tiny. He'll be fine. Who knows? If it's enough to kill a fly, what's it doing to me? Poor Louis.

Killed Louis and the team, didn't it? Anyway, so I'll be sitting on the couch and then all of a sudden I'll get a boom! Boom! I'm starting like a cartoon cloud like just fly spray all over my face, all over my head. And I'll turn to Jen and go, what the hell? And she's like, there was a fly there. Now, I've never once seen a fly around me.

But I'm just getting sporadically sprayed. Boom. This is what Ben's afraid of. Facelow the fly spray half a dozen times. She's claiming there's flies everywhere and I'm not, yeah, I haven't seen one. She's microdosing you with fly spray. Yeah, exactly.

Just saying it will tone you down. Next it'll be like a rolled up newspaper. Bang, straight to the face. There's a fly. It was on your forehead. So yeah, I don't know if I'm not here over the next few weeks. Please call the authorities. What can happen?

That's what I'm afraid of. Be a slow poisoning. And, Jen, if you're listening, you can call up and defend yourself. No 800 The Hits. But at the moment, it's a one-way street. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits.

Now, Squid Game. This music, I tell you what, gives me post-traumatic stress disorder from lockdown. Remember, that was a lockdown show, wasn't it, Squid Game? game yeah it felt like the world really got to know squid game in lockdown yeah it was a huge show uh very violent show yeah maybe it was because it was brutal and they were locked up and they were like well they have it worse than us yeah maybe you're right now there's a second series of squid game that's just dropped on netflix a couple months ago it's huge again the whole world talking about it.

I was like, what are they going to do for the second one? But I loved it. Binged it real fast. You're like my son Oscar, he nailed it in a day and a half. I forgot how brutal it was. I did catch glimpses of season two and I was like, I don't know if a child, you know, he's quite young. I have a very impressionable mind to be watching this. So it's either this or binge drinking.

And to be honest, binge drinking is probably a lot less hazardous to his health than squid game season two. It's psychological violence. So last time it was out, we played a game. Well, it was just the two of us, John, I think we played this game, a squid game, where we decided we'd play our own version, less violent, where we'd call a fish and chip shop somewhere in New Zealand and try and guess the price of a squid, a calamari. Yeah, and we found gore in this situation.

I'm going to say, I'm going to go bang on a dollar. Okay, so don't answer yet. Over to Jono. Okay, I reckon in gore, I'm going to lock in 80 cents for one squid ring. Jeez, they are $1.10. Oh! Missed out. I was closest.

Okay, $1.10. So this was a few years I was closest. Okay, $1.10. So this was a few years ago. Now, have things gone up or have things gone down in regards to it? I would say squid's probably become slightly more affordable. Maybe it has.

Maybe it's one of those things I haven't really kept an eye on the squid market. It's such a forgotten item on the fish and chip shop menu, isn't it? Because when you have it, you love it.

But I always forget to order it. It's like a roll of the dice, though. It's really good or it's rubber. Like a rubber band. Yeah. Okay, so we're going to call, we went bottom of the south last time, let's call up towards the top of the North Island,

let's call Whangarei. Yeah, this is a takeaway shop called Stumpy's. All right, guess the price of a squid for our squid game. It's Stumpy's. Hello, Stumpy's. All right, guess the price of a squid for our squid game. It's Stumpy's. Hello, Stumpy's Whangarei. Hey, Stumpy's. It's Jono, Ben and Megan from the Hits radio station. Hello.

How you doing? Now, we want to play the squid game with you. Is that all right? Okay. Okay. Now, we need to guess the price of a squid or calamari on your menu. Now, how does it come? Can you describe it to us?

Yeah, just per piece. Per piece. So are we just a single piece of a squid? Yep. So it's squid ring, if you will. It is. Okay. How much are you paying?

Well, I'm going to chuck it out there. I'm going to go 90 cents, Megan. I'm going to go 70 cents. I'm going to go more than that. I'm going to go, it costs 11, guys, $1.40. For a single ring of squid? I don't know. I'm just guessing. I'm going to go more than that. I'm going to go, it's going to cost 11 guys, $1.40. For a single ring of squid? I don't know, I'm just guessing. Okay, back to you stumpies. Okay. Alright.

You want to know how much it is? Yes, please. $1.20. Oh! Thanks for the win! It was less than I had. Okay, $1.20, there we go. So I'm still in the squid game, you guys are sadly. Can I pitch 70 cents, a1.20. There we go. So I'm still in the squid game. You guys are sadly. Can I pitch 70 cents?

A bit of a price cut. Yeah, just a bit. So are you Stumpy? No, I'm not Stumpy. Who's Stumpy? I don't know who Stumpy is. Oh, really? No, so the business has been around for years, like 50 years or something.

Oh, it was definitely some battler who lost a limb. Yeah. Hey, who started a miller. I reckon, was definitely some battler who lost a limb. Yeah. Hey, who started it. I reckon, I reckon. We're going to call you Stumpy Mate, and he's like, oh, that's a bit offensive. Start up a shop, mate, call it Stumpy's. You guys are open very early, can I say that? Yes.

Have you got a lot of customers coming at this time of the morning? No, we're actually quiet today. Oh, quiet today. Yeah, like, to be honest, we shouldn't open until, like, four. Oh, well, thank you very much for taking part in the Squid Game. Have you watched Squid Game on Netflix? No, I haven't. It's very violent.

Yeah. This reference will mean absolutely nothing to you then. Okay. That is our Squid Game. It'll probably be back again. We'll do that later in the week and see if we can compare our squid prices around the country. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast.

The hits. I'm always cold play of ruined concerts for a lot of us. There was no flashing wristbands or 3D glasses or fireworks, but amazing musicians, incredible singing, great vibe. It was lots of fun. And a legend drinking beer out of a boot. I mean, who wants light-up bands when you've got a guy drinking beer out of a stinky old boot?

Now that's entertainment. A pretty incredible story, Luke. I was just deep-diving over the weekend on him. 34 years old, now travelling around the world, but never been on a plane until he was 25 years old. Wow. And didn't pick up the guitar until 21. So yeah, so crazy what he's achieved

pretty much in a decade, you know, of just hustling, getting out there and doing his thing. That seems great for him, but it makes us all feel lazy, useless. He was a bouncer at a bar, but he gives the bouncer vibes, doesn't he? Loves his rugby too, doesn't he? Yeah. He's definitely looking at your shoes going, sorry, mate, not coming in here with those

shoes on. Oh, he's looking at them going, I could probably drink a beer out of those shoes. But I got swept up, as I I do after the concert was walking out. And I thought, you know, I'll get a T-shirt. Merch madness. There was some cool T-shirts floating around of Luke Combs. He's got some cool merch. So I bought a T-shirt.

And then I thought, I'll put it straight on. So I got it. Got changed. Got straight on. Do you always feel a little fun in the shop? Whenever I've done that in a shop, for some reason, there's no reason at all. But I always feel embarrassed when they're like, would you like to wear this hat now? And I was like, yes.

Yes, I will. And they're like, oh God, he's putting on the hat. Oh, you're really? Okay. Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know why there's that store embarrassment. Mum used to make me get changed in like a store back in the day too. I know. I was thinking that too when I was younger. She'd be like, put it on now. I'm like, what was wrong with what I was just wearing? I know. They're like, change your room to full. Just put it on the shop.

Pants off. Pants off. And then you have to walk up to the counter and they scan it and you're like, you're in the middle of farmers. But anyway, so I put it on there and then I was walking along

because I was walking home with my daughter and someone was like, oh, hey, how long have you had the t-shirt for? And I was like, I just bought it tonight.

And they're like, oh, are you wearing it now without washing it? I'm like, yeah. And I had never thought for a second that maybe i should be washing my clothes after i particularly at a concert it's not like it's been through lots

of people what i thought trying it on no and i love the smell of new clothes it smells like factory chemicals and broken dreams doesn't it when you smell a brand new t-shirt it feels fresh nothing it doesn't feel the same once you've washed it yeah so four four eight seven on the text should should i be should you wash your clothes before wearing it? Or any clothes at all? I do know someone who like religiously washes everything because they're scared of the factory that it's come from. They're like, oh, there might be chemicals. You don't know who's touched it, what they've done with it.

Well, hopefully they just made it and packed it. Because you meant to leave your undies on when trying, you know, women's. Yeah, swimwear and undies. They had the little sticker on that area. Oh, that sticker's, you know, women's swimwear and undies. They had the little sticker on that area. Oh, that sticker's, jeez, there's nothing sexier than that sticker. That's the things that sticker has seen. Just a reminder that, you know. Hopefully undies.

Yeah, true. You're right. Let's hope that's all it is. You're still supposed to wear your undies. You're not supposed to go. I thought I was just meant to be like a bumper. Jeannies to sticker. No.

You told me I was going to be a bumper sticker, and I ended up as this sticker? Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. You know, because a lot of parents listening, having to navigate through school holidays over the last few weeks,

and there's sometimes the unpaid Uber drivers, the unpaid personal chefs, you know, they don't get the credit for things they do over the holidays. So here's your chance. What's the lengths you've gone to for your kids? What are the things you've sat through, you've had to do, you've had to take them somewhere

that you haven't taken credit for? You want some credit for what you do. I do. I do. Because have the kids given you credit? No. No, they never think you do. It's expected.

Yeah. So we're in the Gold Coast, you know, much like yourself, Megan. We went over there for a little family holiday. Did you guys catch up when you were over there? Funny you should say that what happened because you were there

at the same time yeah we did well I messaged and never got a reply back but that's okay no you did I replied to you yesterday oh yeah

got a reply back yeah a little late but anyway so did you text her and she saw it saw the text yeah well

yeah apparently but then oh something else in the archives or I don't know how it happened look we were very busy

yeah you were busy he didn't mean the invite it was just a token gesture. Well, you could have come along to this. I brought you along to this because we had a rental car for one day

and my daughters had watched a show quite a lot over the years called H2O. There's a lot of mermaid shows on Netflix and this is an Aussie show. Oh, I do know this show.

And basically, I've watched bits and pieces. The mermaids that come to life and then all of a sudden they always spill water or like liquid on them i think just one drop of water turns them from a functioning human being into a half-functioning mermaid and they're trying to keep it a secret that they're mermaids on land so every time they'd spill water they'd rush off back to the water and have to dive back in showers i guess they weren't showering and what nightmare rainy days

nightmare everything was a nightmare but that was part of the show this show scored h2o and they were like hey we want to go to ricky's cafe from the show it was apparently another cafe then it turned into ricky's cafe and we're like can we visit it i looked and i was like i guess we could go and i was like i guess it's a cafe too we could probably have lunch there yeah so let's go drive and then i looked at the the map i was like 45 minutes all right it's a 90 minute round trip 45 minutes let's go take him along let's go along at least we'll have some lunch we turn up at ricky's cafe and it's like oh doesn't say ricky's on the outside turns out that rick it was it's a it's a fishing it's basically like a fishing club that they're obviously turned into a cafe for the show so it's not even a

functioning mermaids want to stay away from the fishing club yeah obviously turned into a cafe for the show so it's not even a functioning so the mermaids want to stay away from the fishing club yeah exactly so out the front you've got a couple of salty battlers out there smoking

some cigarettes still smelling quite fishy their hands quite fishy you know you can throw a line over the front of it or anything like that they catch the mermaids

exactly and a sign that says here's where H2O was filmed a small sign my daughters were happy. They got a photo with the sign. But I was like, oh, this is not even a cafe.

We can't even, like, we just saw a building. We saw a little sign. We drive 45 minutes. Now back. We have to drive 45 minutes back just for you to get a photo of the sign. They were happy, but I was like, I've got no credit for that. The fishing club. Just the fishing club.

It's like turning up to Hobbiton and finding out it's a brothel or something. You're right. It's just like, this is not what this is. Did you not Google image it before you went to go? No, I didn't. I thought, well, it sounded like a cafe. It sounded like a lovely... Did you ask the old battlers if they get young girls turning up all the time? Well, it did seem like there was a sign

around the corner and everyone was like, oh, yeah. They just kind of went, no, there's another one turning up to get a photo in front of the sign. The sign that says H2O was filmed here. So, yeah, we didn't even have lunch there. It looked like a nice fishing club, sure. But I was like, I never got any credit for that over the whole time. John O'Bannon Megan, the podcast, the hits.

Morning, Donald Trump. Six o'clock this morning. Sworn in as the 47th president of the United States of America. Please raise your right hand and repeat after me. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear. That I will faithfully execute. That I will faithfully execute.

The office of President of the United States. The office of President of the United States. He's back, isn't he? He's back. Melania, huge hat everyone's talking about. Kind of looked like the Hamburglar's hat didn't it? You couldn't even see her eyes A lot of people were thinking because he went to kiss her

and he couldn't quite get to her cheeks so maybe it was a tactical play She's like, you can't kiss me It's too big, but who knows There's some unnecessary cannons firing off there Yeah God damn USA! No, this morning, much like Melania

having to sit through the Trump inauguration, what did you have to do for your family over the holiday period? 4487 on the text. 90 minute round trip to what you thought

was going to be the set of a very niche tween show, H2O, about mermaids. Yeah. But they were humans,

but if they got a drop of water on them, boom, they're a mermaid. And as I said, there's a couple of mermaid shows on Netflix. I keep going, oh, it if they got a drop of water on them, boom, they're a mermaid. And as I said, there's a couple of mermaid shows on Netflix. I keep going, oh, it's Mako Mermaid, and they keep telling me, no, that's Mako Mermaid.

Obviously, there's two mermaid shows that I'd watch bits of, but I was just where this happens. No, dear, that's Mako Mermaid. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry, I'm getting my mermaid shows. Anyway, so I went to this place. Seems like a well-catered market then,

the mermaid teen shows. Exactly, but my kids enjoyed seeing a sign on a fishing shop that was no longer a cafe. So it used to be the cafe and the show. Yes. So it's less of a mermaid cafe now and just old battlers talking about bait and things. So you did that for 90 minutes. The lengths you've gone to for your kids, 0800 the hits, telephone number, or for your family. Jackie, good morning to you.

Good morning. Lovely to have you on, Jax. Thank you. The lengths you went to. Well, not the lengths that I went to, the lengths that my parents went to. A number of years ago now, we went on a family holiday to Christchurch,

and I forced them on my birthday to take me to Lyttelton to a cemetery that we've used in the final scene of the movie The Frighteners. Oh! Was it everything you'd hoped for? Everything I'd hoped for, not everything my siblings hoped for. Did you make them take a photo? You're like, hey, cheese! Yes, photos, and they're still on Facebook.

Quite a strange environment, you're right, to turn up as a tourist attraction, because obviously there could be grieving people there, you know, thinking, you're like, hey, this is great, great place. I really didn't think about that when I was 17. Yeah, that's good. Was there anyone else there smiling for a selfie? No, there wasn't anybody else there, just us.

Doesn't seem like a tourist hotspot. You're right. Like, compared to the Peter Jackson movie, wasn't it? The Frighteners. Yeah, it was. Compared to what he's done with Hobbiton and what he's created there and the cemetery from Frighteners, I mean, things came a long way for Peter Jackson. I appreciate your call this morning, Jackie. You have a great day.

You too. Thanks. Appreciate it. Yeah, a commitment I had to my son Oscar, actually, who's about three or four, and at daycare he swallowed three marbles. You know you're in a stage where you're just swallowing stuff at that age. You know, you're just trying things out. Everything goes in the mouth.

Everything goes in the mouth. And the doctor's like, there's only one way. There's only one way to keep on top of this. And you're going to have to inspect his stools until you see all three marbles. Three? I said three days before. Three to four days. It was bestowed on me for some reason. I don't know why. Three to

four days. It was like that scene out of Jurassic Park, you know, when Sam Neill sticks his hand into the dinosaur joint. Just on an expedition. Did you find the marbles? Found the marbles. All of them? Still in circulation. Oh no. Question.

Did they all come out in one? Or was there multiple? No, no. One came out in the year. No, it came out in three installments. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hats.

Donald Trump back again as president. Sworn in this morning. So it's all official. It's all happening. Well, you spent the last 12 months saying survive to 25. And, well, we did survive to 25 we're here we're here and so yesterday

nothing feels remarkably different don't know what we're all expecting but it did give you 12 months of hope didn't it and optimism going what's going to happen in 2025 all problems with the world are going to it did

it was good to have that to sort of look forward to so we thought I felt like it was more just a rhyming catchphrase than it had any substance to it. But we're like, we'll survive to 25. So now we're there, we decided yesterday we needed

a new catchphrase for this year to take us through, throughout the year, to 26, to give us some hope on the horizon. Inspire us, yeah. Things like moving lips till 26, pumping hips till 26. Avoiding icks, you know, getting clicks. All that sort of stuff was in there, you know.

And we're going to decide on one very shortly. But, Zach, good morning to you. Morning. Morning, guys. Welcome back. Thank you so much, Zach. And lovely to have you back on the show. My friend, did you have a good break?

Yeah, yeah, it was a good one. Just not enough sun, but it was good. Well, that's good to hear. Hopefully you're refreshed and recuperated. But now you have an option for a 2025 catchphrase. Now, this is coming fresh off moments ago, Ben Boyce, confessing something. What is it?

It's don't wet your sticks at least until 2026. Don't wet your sticks until 2026. Enough to be soaking matchsticks. I like it, But I also find it Quite odd for anyone That doesn't know the backstory Very niche But I like it

Don't eat your sticks till 26 And can have other connotations as well Yeah it does Why? That sounds bad Are we all taking a vow here? What's going on? No wedding of your sticks guys

You know Hold out till 26 Hey Hey, good on you Zach. Appreciate you listening. Hope you have a great year. You too. I've already wet my sticks in 26 too. Oh Christ. No, I don't know. Soak those matches. Soak the match sticks. He didn't want to start a fire. He didn't want to start a fire in the rubbish.

G'day Ange. What's your slogan for 2025 mate? Get your kicks till the end of 2026. Not bad. Oh, right. So two at the end. Are we not allowed

kicks in 20... No, that means we can have 25 and 26. 27, we'll worry about that later. Right. It's not bad, Ange. And not bad.

So thank you for all your suggestions. We had a whole bunch come through through the show you were saying overnight. But I think we've settled on one.

And it's one that you demanded optimism. You wanted hope. Oh, I did.'ve settled on one. And it's one that you demanded optimism. You wanted hope. Oh, I did. Didn't you? Well, you don't want it to be neggy. No. Yeah, it's got to get us through, you know?

Yeah. Somewhere we can all survive till 25. So the one where we like the most has come through. Which was? The winner Of 2025's Catchphrase It'll all be fixed In 26

Or by 26 We're going to go by 26 or in 26 By 26 Because it's for this year Oh you want to do by 26 Because I always realized 25's a shambles. Yeah, but I feel like it gives us a chance.

You know, it's procrastinating. We can fix it all next year. I quite like procrastinating. No, no, no. It's got to be done by this year. It'll be fixed by 26. Okay, we've got Ange still on the phone. Can you test run our catchphrase?

Ange, how's it going, Ange? Good, good. Thanks. How about yourself? Yeah, good. Have you got something you'd like to say to us? Yeah, so mine was... Oh, no. Definitely shouldn yourself? Yeah, good. Have you got something you'd like to say to us? Yeah, so mine was... Oh, no, definitely shouldn't have gone back to Ange.

She's trying to lead you into something you'd like to say to her. Ange, you know what I want to say to you? What? All will be fixed by 26, baby. Good on you. Yeah, see, optimism, hope, it's all happening this year, getting stuff done, it's all going to be fixed by 26. Tell you what, I've listened to Trump's speech, there is optimism and hope. Jeez, let's all happening this year, getting stuff done it's all going to be fixed I've listened to Trump's speech, there is optimism

and hope he's changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico oh Ant, you have a great day John O'Bannon Megan, the podcast the hat lovely to have you with us this morning how's your run doing this morning, alright? day two of the alarm

here we go. Tuesday, you're like, oh. Yeah, so we feel you. We see you. If you're up with us

right now in the morning, we appreciate it. It's only day two of the year. You wake up, you're like, how am I so exhausted? So you've been off

for like 22 weeks. You did one day. One day. Big news happening around the world right now. It's very hard to avoid this news today. Donald Trump back as president of the United States of America. Yeah. He's just been sworn back in, so he's president again.

But Biden's on his way out. He pardoned a whole lot of people on his way out. Don't say that. He's on his way out. He's got a choice of words. He definitely is on his way out. He pardoned a whole lot of people on his way out. Don't say that. He's on his way out. That way he's probably, yeah, definitely is on his way out. Could double up as a funeral, the inauguration, couldn't it? Yeah. But what I liked about the inauguration, jeez, it was quick.

This is, you know, obviously not factoring in the wonderful performances still to come from Kid Rock. Yeah. But it was 20 minutes. Ben, this is bang in your territory one of his big bugbears is speeches

and thank yous of people and speeches yeah because you go to an awards ceremony it's lovely when people get awards but as soon as some

person goes up and goes I'd like to thank my bosses and I'd like to thank my partner and then the next person goes oh no

I need to do that because otherwise their partner's going well how come you didn't thank me you know like and then it becomes the speeches become longer and longer. Then they're thanking the cat and their second godmother and all sorts. You're like, oh, my God.

There's lots of people that help them get there. I know. But it's just like they can get a message. They can get a text and say, hey, thanks. Appreciate all your help. Let's do a quick turnaround. Listen. I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear.

I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear. That I will faithfully execute. That I will faithfully execute. That I will faithfully execute. The office of President of the United States. The office of President of the United States. And he didn't thank anyone. Didn't thank anyone, Ben. And I'd like to thank...

He doesn't even sound excited to be there. He'll probably thank some more people later. You had a great meme that was going around this morning. Yeah, everyone's like, oh, I can't work. I'm watching the season finale of the United States. It's captivating. It was Melania's hat choice.

Absolutely stolen the show. I don't know the name of it, but everyone's just calling her the Hamburglar because it's covering her eyes. It's like a flat She looks like Zorro as well. Zorro hat. We'll put it up

on the Hits Breakfast on Instagram and Facebook and you can see the Hamburglar for yourself. Question, he's being sworn in right and she's standing right beside him holding the Bible but she's still got the hat on. Is that disrespectful? Wouldn't you be like It's annoying though when you still got the hat on. Is that disrespectful? Wouldn't you be like, you can't be disrespectful. It's annoying, though, when you've got a hat of that size and magnitude.

Where do you put it when you take it off? Like the only logical place for it is on your head. And hat hair. Hat hair, yeah. I was just thinking hat hair. She's like, I'd like to take it off, but hat hair. I've committed to it now. It's a hat on or hat off day.

What sort of day it is. Very cold outside. Freezing conditions. Snowy. Snowing everywhere. So that What sort of day it is. Very cold outside, freezing conditions. Snowy. Snowing everywhere. So that's why they brought it inside. And also they mean they can't compare

how many numbers were there compared to Biden's and compared to Obama's and all sorts. But it is a big historical day so we'll keep you up to speed. If anything crazy happens or if not,

we'll just ignore it and carry on with our lives as well. You'll be pleased to know he's doing a big speech now, Ben. Oh, here we go. Here's the speeches. Thanking everyone. Jono, Ben and Megan.
