Okay, alright, sweet hours. No, all right. Have a great day. And you enjoyed the podcast too. Starting off with an unfortunate incident that took place in the urinal with Ben. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits.

Over the weekend, I went out to dinner with the family and had to go to the bathroom doing dinner. And she went in there and, you know, the urinal part of the bathroom was free. I noticed that one of the cubicles was occupied and that's fine I went to the urinal and did what I needed to do and I just started to do what I needed to do and the cubicle door opened and someone walked out

which was what happens I feel like a mansplating a bathroom situation but it's fine He's the details guy He's not going to skip any details Well that's right And who walked out of the bathroom was like a kid probably

I'm guessing I don't know about nine or 10 years Little boy Yeah and I was like Okay fine he's doing his thing He's going to go wash his hands but no this is one of these kids and it felt like you know how you talk to some kids

and they're maybe not of 10 but they act like they're 30 40 years old love a conversation yeah we've all come across one of those yeah and he came sort of quite close to me just and this is just at the moment and I just started to go to the bathroom and say hey you're here for dinner are you and I was like well he's striking

a conversation with me how close to it pretty close and I'm sort of going yeah I am I am and sort of you know I'm sort of took my body away He just really, yeah. He's only getting staged front at this point. You're a little bit and he was like, yeah.

And then he started going, you know, what did you have for dinner? And I'm like, oh, we're just awarded, we're waiting for you. And he started launching into what he's had and many conversations. Remaining, can I just say, remaining, holding eye contact, very important through this interaction. Yeah, for me, I was sort of looking away a little bit trying to give him the hint that maybe this is not the white environment. You got one eye on your task, one eye on the child. But he was quite a right in there, almost like a support person that you're having a chat. to me as we went through it.

And all I could think of at the same time was going, oh, if someone walks into the bathroom right now, this is not a good look. This is like a man, a fully-grown man, chatting to a young kid in the bathroom situation. He started joining me first. I'm like, I'm trying to angle away. I'm trying to angle away.

The whole way through. Like, I finish things up rather quickly. Oh, me you would. Probably too quickly as well, too, because the situation was, I probably could have had a bit longer. But I was like, I just need to get out of it.

I just need to get out of this situation. To the kids under the age of 10, it's just another room, the bathroom. It's just another, like a lounge or kitchen. You're right. I can have a chat. No matter what's going on in there, they'll bowl in for a chat.

He was a very confident young kid, lovely kid, but at the same time, I was just like, I'm going to be on some sort of list. How focused were you on the conversation? Not so much, but he wanted to keep it going as well. So sort of walked back out to the table, little rattled, little bits of stuff dripping down the leg as well. That was the man I was talking to in the toilet?

He was talking to me. He started the conversation. He started the conversation. Very scary situation to be in his adult. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The hit. Listen, my friend shared something with me yesterday. He's got his in-laws coming over for a barbecue this weekend.

And he's kind of dreading it. And it's not that he doesn't enjoy their company. They get along. But he says, the bono contention is whenever they come over to their place for dinner, which half a dozen times a year for various birthdays and whatnot. They turn up with empty Tupperware containers, no food, and sort of a lesser quality bottle of wine. I'm not a wine person, so I don't know what that would be.

Now what happens is no one drinks the wine, then they drink his upper grade wine. Yeah, yeah. And then any leftovers, they scoop up in the kitchen, they'll go back to the kitchen, put in their Tupperware containers and leaf. That is. And he can't say anything because they're his in-laws. I feel like that's a cry.

Yeah, it feels like, well, maybe if he can't say anything, surely his partner can say something. That's an extra step bringing the Tupperware. That is. I mean, when you've come with your old click-clacks, you've really committed to taking the leftovers. Yeah, like, I get people say, oh, don't bring anything, we'll get it sort of. But even then, I'm like, I've still feel, I've got to bring something. You do. I've got to bring some snacks.

Don't bring something. means bring something. Yeah, I was like, I've got to bring something. I can't turn up empty hand and you're not providing me with everything. So you've got to come up. But then to turn up with nothing and to take away, take away, like to go, to expect to go, oh, I'll take some of that home. If someone may be offered it, you might go, oh, yeah, I guess.

But even then you'd be like, no, it's yours. Times, only times are tough out there. You understand. I understand, but there is it. There is a time in a place where you can make a piggy. Like, I've heard of some people turning up to all you can eat bufface with their own little Tupperware containers. Hey, dude, you've taken that from big restaurants.

Yeah, but you can't do, you can't, you can't, they won't like that, you can't do that, right? This is personal though, and do you know what he says he's going to do? He's like, I am not going to eat anything for all of Friday, all of Saturday, and when it comes to Saturday afternoon, he's going to try to eat as much of the food as he can on the table. That's his passive, aggressive way of defending his food. Just like, yes, there's nothing. Sorry, guys, oh, there is no left over. All gone, wish you could take the leftovers.

Really, really, really, yeah, big play, big play. I wouldn't imagine anyone else is doing that. I mean, the wine thing as well, too, that would, yeah, yeah. Well, sometimes I feel it irks me if I bring a nice bottle of wine, because I'm like, hey, we're going to experience that, you know, with everyone here. And I'm like, bring it. And then the person goes, great. And then they put that, they put that away.

And then they, and I'm like, hey, where's that wine? That wine that, we're going to drink this evening. It's like, oh, we got one open. I'm like, great. You'll get to mine one later. And I'm like, okay, yeah. What was the one you were doing? Oh, you wanted to take over a quarter, a quarter drunk bottle of wine.

And that was a bit of an issue for you. Yeah, well, I feel like they were close friends and they wouldn't have but my wife is like you can't bring an already open bottle of wine over. Well, why not? Well, okay, so you've got your nice bottle of wine. Okay, you've had a couple of glasses. Yeah. There's still half left.

Are you taking it home? No, leaving it there. Do you want to take it home? Secretly? No, probably, but yeah. But it's the same time, I feel like if you're at someone's house, you leave it there. They might really insist. Sometimes they will and they'll tell you, and you end up to take your bag.

Oh, no. You take it, no, I'll take it. Then you're like, what do I do? Do I take it? Do I take it? Do I take it? Do I take it? my wife's like, should have left it.

They kept it. They pretty much shoved it in my hand. When you give money, that's the other one as well. Someone gets takeaways and you try and give them cash. Oh, no, no, don't you. They give it back to you. They give it back to you. It's a little dance we all do. I mean, at the end of the day, the person

who is being handed the money, they secretly want the money. Just take the money. Just take the bloody money. No, sometimes you'll take it now. All right. We've gone back and forth six times. Ends this awkwardness. John O'Bennon and Megan, the podcast. The Hats.

Harry Stiles was back after four years. with new music. Four years. Four years. He has in that new music. Yeah, he's been off running marathons and all sorts, isn't he? Big runner, is he? Yeah, he is big runner, is he.

Him and Dom Harvey, they love running marathons. Manny McLean here, join them? Yeah, he would, yeah, you're right. We're back on about running. I tell you what, runners, Harry must love a running conversation. Him and Maddie McLean, they would talk for hours. I haven't seen Harry put where he runs on social media, running his maps up on him.

Oh, this is where I went, guys. But he's been running, maybe people were doing that for him. But the tickets went on. so yesterday he's not coming to New Zealand he's going to Australia he's playing 30 nights in a row in New York in Madison Square Gardens and the tickets are going well they're very hard to get aren't they some GA's a thousand US which is insanity uh well what genuinely I know we joked it would be 55000 nzd but what would that equate to a thousand it'd be almost two grand maybe again called towards that way probably 7800 bucks or plus you know fees ticket fees

are probably about 50 000 booking fees but you put the booking fees on top the insurance too if you can't make it you get your ticket refund back? Yeah that is well 98 bucks but it's an expensive exercise to get to a concert nowadays

especially the Big Bangers which I think we just need to as a nation accept that less and less Big Bangers is going to come to out I know it is sad but you're just going to have to fly

to Aussie and their comm so once you factor all that in thousands and thousands of dollars is it just to go and see a concert nowadays so we wanted to know the links you've gone to to get to tickets, to get to see your favourite artist. They've got someone joining us right now

who tried to get Harry Stiles tickets. Neve, morning. Morning, guys. Were you in the queue online, were you? Yep, 25,000 people in front of me. Not too bad. Didn't really count my out. Did you look at the size of the place he was playing

and go, 25,000, how many people? You know, trying to work out if you could still scrape with that? Literally, I was like, surely there's an opportunity for me to get in there, but no luck. Oh, and at what point do you pull out? Like, how many people in the queue were in front of you when you were, this is ludicrous? Well, I definitely stayed for the full, I've got to the front of the queue because I was like, surely there's an opportunity there. But then when I got to the front of the queue, that's when my host diminished a lot.

Yeah, I, uh, tickets less were literally like $800. And I was just like, I love Harry Styles, but I don't know if I'm willing to spend that much money. Oh, so you could have got tickets, but just the really, really expensive ones towards the, Yeah, exactly. All the nosebleeds for like 60 bucks. Wow, that's not too bad. Yeah. You're like, I think he's down there.

I think he's here. I think I feel like he's here. Probably closer in New Zealand than I am right now. I can't just watch this on YouTube. Yeah. Well, it's a shame you didn't, you missed out on tickets. Did any of your friends manage to get them, Neve? Unfortunately not.

But there are multiple pre-sales, so I'm definitely going to try again. All right, have another crack. Get back in there. But a lot of people having to go at Harry. you're charging too much. I don't think it's Harry. Harry probably gets paid a flat feet for his tour, you would imagine.

He's not going, bump these stuff up. Bup me's up a little bit. Make sure these little bitches, surge, right? I don't think he's like that. I need you running shoes, new pair of ASICs. They're not cheap, you know? Surge those little suckers. Now!

Surge, I said! All right, so what's the links you've gone to? For tickets to see your favourite artist. Have you waited and cute? Back in the day, people would sit here overnight. Yeah, that was old school. Yeah, people would have done that? like sort of tent situations as well.

Seats, like you get the old camping chairs? You're waiting at a virtual cure. You were waiting at actual cure. Has anyone, you're listening right now, ever done that, waited overnight for tickets to see their band? The lengths you've gone to to see your favourite artist. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits. Harry Stiles announced last week,

he's got new music and has decided to go around the world. Getting his retirement fund sorted. 30 nights at Madison Square Garden. all the tickets went on sale yesterday and people frantically trying to get them. You know what I reckon it is? It's the classic whip-up a frenzy. Oh yeah.

And once you're in that frenzy, you get swept up in frenzy. I do it. I love a frenzy. I would get whipped up as well. I just wanted to do it to just keep part of the frenzy. But someone texted, they got their tickets. I took them over an hour to do it, but they're so stoked to meet their future husband

for the first time, so that's good. Right, 0800. It's the lengths you've gone to get tickets to see your favourite artist. Alicia, big lengths? Well, my partner is a big fan of the boy band Five, and it's like our family tradition at Christmas every year we listen to all their songs and get drunk. Oh, wow.

I'll say that's a really unusual Christmas tradition. A lot of people listening to Michael Booblay Maraerite Kerry. You're like, no, five. Everybody get up. One, two, four. I mean, it's great. They had some great jams, so you do that. So have you gone and seen them?

Well, we're going to. Oh, wow. So when they come here, they're playing on a Monday night, and it's all seated, which is perfect because we're over, well, we're almost 40. That's a wonderful reflection on Five's demographic now. Exactly. But do you know that some of the tickets were $400?

Wow. I mean, it feels like, I know, I say this to the kids all the time that, you know, I remember concert prices that used to be like 60 bucks, 80 bucks, things like that. And now you're pretty much paying a couple hundred bucks at the very minimum for most concerts. You're getting a deal then, aren't you, with 200? Yeah. Yeah, so we're paying $200 each.

and then we've got to have flights from Blenow up and take time off work. So it's going to cost about a thousand bucks, I think. Oh, Jesus, not it's... Five on a Monday night seated as two elderly millennials. There'll be a whole stadium of luck-minded people who are appreciating the seated environment. Is even the floor seated?

The whole thing. Hey, well, listen, go. Enjoy five. Enjoy the seating. Yeah. Yeah, and I think it's just what it is nowadays, isn't it? Well, we decided we're going to see one, Compton, well, we don't have kids, and life is too expensive these days.

You're not here long enough. We want to get experiences. So last year we did Luke Holmes. This year we're doing five. Next year, the new stadium will be open and crashage, so we won't have to come to Auckland. But I think it's really important that you still go out to come to. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, nothing really beats it.

Live music, singing artists and someone you enjoy, so you won't regret that at all. You enjoy it. No, you never ever. I think that those experiences you never forget, and they're never a waste of money. Oh, good on you. Apart from the time you went I saw Bob Dylan and he didn't play any songs that you knew. Well, that was there. Yeah, true.

My dad paid for that. But that was a waste of time. That's his money. But yeah, it's fine. Yeah, yeah. What an experience. What an experience? I've got a lot of good stories out on that.

So, yeah, it was worth it. Hey, so Ollie, welcome. How are you? Hi, good. How are you? Happy New Year, mate. Happy New Year to you. Show catchphrase is buzzin.

That's buzzing. That's buzzing. What are the links he went to see an artist? We went all the way. to Toronto, Canada to see system of a down. Oh, wow. Yes.

I've been, keeping an eye on there, because they don't tour a lot. Does it doesn't like to tour that much. And they played a couple of shows the last few years at Fifth New World Festival in Las Vegas. And then they announced the show a couple years ago in San Francisco.

And I said to my partner, I was like, oh, do we go, do we go, what do we do? Anyway, the stars in the line, but anyway a few months later they announced three shows Toronto, New York and Chicago Nice And I was like, we've got to go

Oh my gosh, we've got to go Get a credit card, we've got to go Anyway, got tickets at like 6 in the morning All my eyes out Woke up the next day They announced one more show for each city And I was like, bag her out and no again So we went twice

Oh, did you? I was going to say they announced next day In New Zealand you'd be like Oh, no. Oh, that's so awesome. Do you know, doesn't he live in New Zealand? Seuss Tanking? Yeah.

He does. Yeah, he lives in a whole way up in Northland. Oh, that's so awesome. You didn't have to travel to Toronto to see him. We just gone up to Fungare. I'm out of all the places, can you just play goddamn office? Yeah, exactly. Just down the road, mate.

John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The H. From the office, and we've just found this out about Rachel. Was this last week? you took a day off work. Yeah, so Friday took the day off work because a band that I really like, BTS. The Korean K-pop band.

Yeah, South Korean boy band. That's the one. Don't think there's many boy bands coming out of North Korea. No, that's true. Not so many. I don't know why need to specify that, you're right. But yeah, they're doing a massive world tour and pre-sales started from 1am on Friday.

So you're like, take the day off, I need to go see them. They're not coming to New Zealand, but they're going around the world. This is huge. Yes. So they're going to Australia, but those dates aren't being released yet. So I was like, I need to get in wherever I can. And I ended up getting super lucky in the queue. The first show that I tried for, I got 6,000 in the queue, which is really low.

Oh, yeah. And so I was like, I guess I'm buying tickets to Brussels. Oh, see what to do Brussels? Okay. In Belgium. And then an hour later, the London tickets went on sale, and I got through again. So you're like that.

She got tickets to London as well. So I got London tickets to. Then a couple hours after that, L.A. went on sale. And I managed to get tickets to all four nights. Oh, wow. She's doing more of a world tour than they are. Yeah. So since then, you've now sold some of these, right?

Yeah. So you've now gone, hang on, I got caught up a little bit over probably. Maybe don't need to go to Brussels now, things like that. Yeah, producer grace made me calculate how much I'd spent. It was over $6,000. Oh, BGS tickets. Oh, jeez.

But you've now got your money back for a lot of money back. I'm only going to go to two shows in L.A. I feel like considering that, you know. At what point where you're like, Jesus, I let that get away on me. How many hours after doing all those franticlets? London. London would have been that point for me, going, hey on, I've already got Brussels tickets. Do I like BDIS that much?

It was about 5 a.m. in the morning and I was like, I think the delirium's sitting. What have I done? Okay, so you're going to see them two nights in L.A. at Sofai Stadium, incredible stadium, which will be amazing. I'm so excited. It's going to be epic. Oh, really good. Hey, my mum, we text here 4387. My mum waited six hours in the rain and a tent for Michael Jackson tickets. Oh, wow. Cammed out for Michael Jackson tickets?

Producer Troy. I think he waited. He stayed overnight to see Flight of the Concords, was it? Producer Troy? Where was it? It was the old stadium in Christchurch. I think it's Wolfbrook now. Yeah, Wolfbrook, yeah. They sold tickets at the box office,

and they were open at 7 a.m. one morning, so we got there at, I think, 9 p.m. the night before, and I slept in a box, waited overnight and got flight of the concord's tickets. She's, were you the only person there, or was there a whole bunch of you? There's probably like a hundred people that came out. It was a big line. We were probably like 30th in the line. Slept in a box.

I feel like you could have bought like a portable tent or something. Sad, you're making my heart sad. John O'Ben and Megan The podcast The hits You need to text through 4487 Am I a bad person For what I did yesterday

You know sometimes Real estate agents They'll just turn up at your house unannounced They're out there on the hustle The agents, you know? Yeah So this was one of those ones This guy turned

You're interested in selling Yeah Almost like they're grooming you Yeah Yeah yeah For a long-term player Anyway this dude turned up yesterday And he's

said, oh, can I come in? Before I even had the chance to say no, he sort of did that thing where he starts a conversation and you can't get out of the conversation. It would be rude for you to end it. So it was a wonderful sales pitch from him. Anyway, long story short, he ends up inside the property and he grabs a seat on some of the outdoor furniture. All right.

So he didn't come into the house. He's in the property. So, yeah, right. Now, the problem with our outdoor furniture is, geez, the weather conditions over the last four weeks, torrential rain. Yeah. And the seats that we have, incredibly rusty at the moment. Very rusty seats.

Now, this guy, imagine, you know, a summertime real estate agent. We're not talking June July. This is, he's got some wonderful white linen trousers on. Oh, no, no. So he went to sit down on the chair and he's talking to me, you know, now's a great time to sell. Always a great time to sell, apparently. Yeah, apparently, yeah. And I'm not really focused on.

It's great time to buy almost even to talk this movie. It's always great to real estate. Real estate is always as great. to be doing stuff. Or anytime. But I'm not really focused on what he's telling me about the market because I'm like, oh no, he sat on the rusty chair with his bloody lovely linen pants.

And he gets up full rusty butt. Full rusty butt. He has got rust from, you know, just where your butt cheeks are, down the back of his legs. And I'm like, oh, should I say something? What could you say in that? No, your time to say something was before he sat down. After he sat down, you're like, oh, it's too long.

But it is too late then. That's why I chose option B, not to say anything. Yeah, like if you just said, oh, before he sat down, then that would have been... And I knew that all this would have taken place, but I didn't actually realise that until he had sat down. I was like, oh, no. So I didn't say anything,

and he walked off back down the driveway, full rust butt. And probably went through his entire day with that on the back of his pants. And he would have got home and retraced his steps back to my rusty seat. He would have gone. He would have, and he'd be like, that bald idiot, never said anything to me. John O'Ben and Megan The podcast, The Hits Jesus of Grace, back with us after a couple of weeks in Europe.

Yes, one month. Yeah, one month exact. Did you really have an enjoyable time? Yes. What do you mean? Why do you always get angry? Why do you ask a dumb question? There you guys.

It did seem like, did you really have it like you were pretending it for social media or something? That's why. I had a really good time, Johnno. Just to answer the question. Like a normal person, you don't have to start cracking up. Sorry, it's only day three of Grace being back and we're already bickering. But speaking of which, you and your partner, Jack. Yeah, we had a month together.

So, as you expect, a month together, you're going to have a bit of bickering. Well, you're living out of each other's pockets. Yeah, it was near the end of our trip. It was like I think it was our second to last day. I feel like it all ended up together. And unfortunately, we're in the Vatican City. And in the Vatican City, they've got this really special church where they do all the voting for the popes. It's that church.

Oh, well. But the smoke comes out of the chimney. Yeah, the smoke. It's called the Sistine Chapel. Yeah. And you're meant to be, like, dead quiet in there. and that's unfortunately when me and Jack just butted heads and we had our biggest fight in the Sistine Chagull.

Well, you're hissing at each other in the Sistine Chagull. You're not meant to take photos and he was taking photos. Oh yeah, they're quite strict on that. And the security really like, and I was like, Bibba-Buh, but I want to take photos. But the problem is like we were like, I was like, Jack's talk to the Rueh-Ber-W-ha-W-ha. Because you couldn't be loud.

And I kept like running away from him. You kept following me. So we're just having this fight in this beautiful Sistine Chapel. I love watching a couple Whisper fight in public. Yeah, well, whispered. Yeah, like, yeah, it's obvious. Michael Angelo spent years on that bloody ceiling, didn't he? Just for us to fight under it, you know?

Yeah. Pretty impressive when you're in that room, though. Oh my gosh, it's, it is the most incredible. If you can, go there. Don't fight there, just go there. Yeah, well, you're essentially, it's like God's invited you over to his house. You're in God's lounge. You're having a bit of a disagreement in God's lounge.

But you're going to, it's going to happen. Like John said, you're living in the same. Yeah. You guys are the same with our family, where there's four of us. We got on really good. through the whole thing, but it was like four of us in one hotel room through Europe for three weeks and I lost it at one stage.

I had a little patty. Did you storm out of the room? No, it was because I'd done all the organising, you know me, organised to a tea and one of the things I got and the family mocked me, they're like, we're not going to need little umbrellas in the bag. And I'm like, yeah, we will, it's going to rain. Did you pack umbrellas? Yeah, just those little ones put a bag, I had, and set up,

insert, you name it, I was well covered. And my wife and daughter were playing around with one of the umbrellas that started raining. I was like, guys, you're going to break it. Don't do that. They were playing around. whatever it was. And then they broke the umbrella and I was not happy.

I was, oh, guys, this is what I told you. This was happening. I was walking away and I was in a bit of a huff. And then my daughter walked into the next shop, came out with an umbrella for like six years.

It was like really cheap. There you go. There's a new one. I was like, oh, okay. But I've done all the planning. And I've got it organized and I'm playing for every condition. You don't want to come in with a bargain basement umbrella because that doesn't validate your hissy fit.

I don't know. I plan for every condition. And they broke it and I said don't play with it. And I was like, okay. Okay, this is what we want to open up. The funniest location that you've had an argument with your partner. Is this thing? Chapel's pretty good for you.

Yeah, I think that's top here, guys. Maybe it's a bit more closer to home. Maybe it's somewhere public. We had a huge disagreement in Disneyland. Usually the happiest place on Earth. Not this day. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The Hits.

We're talking about the funniest location for an argument, for a disagreement. It can happen out and about. Yeah, producer Grace and her boyfriend, Jack, had a bit of a session in the Sistine Chapel over photographs being taken So you're not allowed to take cell phone pictures Of that part, no, and you're not allowed As she said, you're not meant to talk, you're meant to be quiet and respectful

And Jack was trying to take sneaky photos And Grace was not having a bar of it And we want to know, on 0800 that hits your funniest argument location Someone's just texted and they can't talk though, unfortunately Her and her husband started going at each other at the Wiggles Oh, the Wiggles! Yeah. It seems like it's such a happy location.

It does. You can't be angry at the Wiggle. He went and bought the kids some high sugar content snacks. And it was the last thing the kids needed. They rammed up a couple of levels and it all started kicking off. And they spent three quarters of the Wiggle Show not talking to each other. And the drive on the way home is very quiet as well. Yeah, see a lot of, yeah, some parents that have had a big night out the night.

They start quite early the Wiggles Show. They do. they say it's yeah and you're like okay here we go I feel for the wiggles and they're pumping out six shows a day I don't think they're having big nights I don't know

they are I don't know they're hiding it well they're hiding it well I mean we went to Disneyland many years ago and as I said the happiest place on earth quickly became the most tense place on earth because

the kids were like backed up well aske my son was kind of backed up on a week's worth of sort of high-powered American food you know and he was having a really difficult time getting it out. So I took him to the toilets at at Disneyland.

But then I felt odd like coaching someone through the door. I was like, come on, you can do it. Just, you know, a little bit more.

Just give it a push. And then people would come in and they were, I could tell there was judgment. So I left the toilet block. Yeah. Then I got out and Gene's like, what are you doing?

I was like, he's in there. I was like, she's like, he can get kidnapped. It's America. I was like, no one's going to kidnap him out of a toilet. And you're right,

you're at the exit, right? Yeah. There's only one entry and one exit. I'm trying to defend myself. I'm like, if I'm going to kidnap a kid, I'm certainly not like a kidnav a kid on a toilet. No, that's a messy kidnap. Yeah, yeah.

I'm like, he's safe as houses. Anyway, I was usually agreed that I should get back in there. I went back in and did some more coaching. Come on, pal. Deep, breathe deep. Breathe deep. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The hits.

It's something that's a real bono of contention in my house. household, and I imagine across many households in New Zealand, is the tissues that end up going through the washing machine. And you open the door of the washing machine or the lid, and it's like a low-level sort of snowstorm, isn't it? You know, you're in denial at first. You're like, surely not, but then more and more comes out. And then you find the offending pocket, and it's never yours.

You know, the person who's put the tissue in is never the one who discovers the tissue. The end of the process. I'll put my hand up. Sometimes it is me. Sometimes it's me. Yeah, sometimes it's me. Often, too, sometimes in the dryer as well. I have those little plastic little tooth.

The placards. Plackers things as well to get stuff out of my teeth. Sometimes they don't love going through the washing cycle. Yeah. Because they have in my back pocket and I forget about those sometimes. So yeah. You love placking, don't you? Yeah, I do.

So, yeah, sometimes that's, I'll put my hand up. They would end up in all sorts of corners of the washing machine. Yeah. It's like producer Troy said the other day. It's like my little calling card. Like if I was like, like a criminal or something, you know, like at home alone they leave the taps running and stuff like that. There's little criminal he was here.

He left the, he was placking. Two flossing guy. He left his little corner card. They're all over the car park where we parked to. And my wife's like, oh, he's been here. I don't mean to leave him there. They just sort of fall out. Trail of plackers.

He's been here. He's been here recently. The most floss teeth and crime. Yes, but you're right. The tissues thing is a big bone of contention. Now, we're having this conversation before the show. Now, Troy, if you want to come. Come on too.

Producer Grace, you've got an issue with this when you're growing up to the tissues. Troy, your theory is it needs to the responsibility needs to lie with one person. Yeah, this has been the big bono contention in my relationship at the moment, currently. That, yeah, I think it should be the person that loads the washing into the washing machine. They're the last stop. They're the last one of the fence. So not the person that maybe might have put their jeans or whatever in a washing basket. It's on the washer, you'll say.

Yeah, at least I'll be honest. it's always me that leaves the tissues in the pockets but I think it's the person that puts it into the washing machine. The last line of defence. That is controversial. See, I'm putting it on the person who's put the tissue in the pocket. They've got to check their pockets before they put the pants in the wash. There's so many pockets on pants these days. Oh, 800 that's a lot. There is a lot. Sometimes

I will pick stuff off the floor which hasn't gone to the washing basket. And whose case there is that, I guess it would be fully my responsibility, right? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, so I can put it in the wash. Yeah. The tissue debate. Who's, who's a lying on? Is it the person who's put the tissue on the pocket or is it the washer? John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits.

Tissues that are going through the washing machine. Every person listening has suffered this at some point in their washing career. And the question this morning is a pretty simple one. Whose responsibility does it fall on? Whose fault is it? Is it the person who's put the tissue in the pocket, the person at the pant provider, or the person in charge of the washing? Producer Troy, controversially.

He's putting it on the washer. It's the last line of defence he's saying. They should be checking all pocket. They should be before, ready to go. Yeah, okay, all right. Where do you sit on it, Ben? There's a really good text that comes through saying, your pants, your responsibility, unless you're under 10 years old.

Because that's obviously, oh, is that Tracy? Is that Tracy's thoughts? Those are good thoughts, Tracy. Yeah, I'm not sticking my hand in my husband's pants pocket. Ever. Have you reached that point in marriage? I have all sorts, so gums, hand-scentat, a lot of stuff in my pockets, does.

then I'll go, most of the time it's all my fault because I do the washing and I just, like trying to do too much at once. Just bang it all in. And then afterwards you're like, oh, that wasn't there, was it? Yeah. Yeah, now, see, I'm not his mother. I'm his partner. So, you know, equal responsibility for the washing.

Sounds like you said that line a couple of times. I've crushed the missing thing. I'm your partner, not your mother. You know what a big bug bear in our relationship is the Hynick and bottle caps. They go through it in my pants. They always, you know, littering through the washing at trace. Thanks so much. So Tracy's rule the thumb.

My husband needs me near. It's all the nuts and bolts. Oh, the nuts. He leaves nuts and bolts in his pockets, does he? Yes. Hey, good on you, mate. Really appreciate you listening, Trace. There we go.

Tracy's rule, anyone over the age of 10? Your pants, your responsibility. Wendy, morning to you. The tissue. Issue. Where do you sit on it? Oh, who would put their hand in somebody else's pocket just to touch their goobies?

Yeah, well, it's not something anyone wants to do, right? But who, you know, so you're saying, Goobies though, they're far no goobies. Oh, yes, goobies. So, no, your pants, your responsibility. I totally agree with Tracy. Okay, so the person putting their pants into the wash, they need to clear their pockets before they put them through.

The tide's sweeping against Troy here. He's trying to put it on the washing, on the washer. Haley, is the responsibility on the trouser owner or the washing machine operator? The trouser operator, if you've got someone nice enough who's going to do your washing for you, the very least you can do is clean out your own pockets. Otherwise, do your own washing. Yeah, fair enough, yeah. So if you're

operating your own trousers, you can operate the tissue out of there, Troy. Look, if you're at war, you're at war, yeah. If you're at war, who do you blame for the city falling? The poor little infantry man that's just standing out there, or the last line of the fence, the walls of the city. I blame the walls. I blame the walls of the city. He's brought

a war reference into this. I don't quite get his war reference, but anyway, okay, we can get it's a clean sweep, but you keep coming through. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits. Producer Troy, you're a big fan of Uber Pool. I am. You catch Uber, now, this is this relatively new to Uber where you can just, you can hop in a car,

and at any point, another member of the public can decide to join that ride with you if you're heading in the same area. Yeah, pretty much, and you save maybe 10 bucks. 10 bucks on a ride. Now, what really surprises me you're doing this after an incident that happened a few years ago. Oh, yeah, I was in Wellington.

and I got an Uber pool and the other rider happened to be my ex-girlfriend. So after that I'll be like, I am out of the Uber pool game. Yeah, it sounds horrific to me anyway. But I understand you saving money, you know? Yeah.

Because I'd say seven times out of ten, no one joins. Right. And you still save the money. So it's a game of Russian roulette. Yeah. You take the game. What happened with your ex-partner

when she hopped into the Uber? It was a, oh. Hello. Hi. How are you? Good. Yeah. you going back home are you?

Cool, cool. How long was the ride? It was probably half an hour. Oh, and you're sitting together in the back, I imagine. Yeah, true. So you did it again yesterday. You punished yourself again yesterday. Outside of Wellington, no risk of that occurrence happening again.

Because I just needed to go 15 minutes home. And I'm like, surely no one from here to home can accept the ride. And even if they do it, it'll be after they drop me off. Okay. I kind of see rationale. Yeah. So I booked it. And as I got in the Uber, called my sister, says, I'll fill the time with 15 minutes.

And then we started going over the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and I hear, which is the sound from the Uber driver's phone that someone else has taken up the road. That must be not music to your ears. No, and then instead of turning right to go to go home, we turn left to go back into the city. Right. I was like, okay, this is going to add. So how much of a detour can they do? They can go.

Because the people keep accepting rides, if it's close by, it can keep going in the wrong direction. How many people can end up in the car? It can fill it up for four people in a five-seater. That would be an absolute nightmare. So what should have been a 10-minute ride turned into a 45-minute ride home. And I felt judged by the Uber driver because this whole time I was on the phone to my sister, and then as he dropped me off, the phone call ended. And he turned over and looked at me like, that was a fake phone call.

And it wasn't. It wasn't. It was not a bad play, though, if it was. It's a great way to get out of conversation having a phone. But that 40 minutes of a fake phone call was. Long time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, good. Yeah, works good.

You know, like, yeah. Most, I would say most people that do take Uber pools, the other type of people that would want to chat. Oh, yeah. You get a mix of people who, uh, you know, wanting to save some money. Yep. Obviously, people who are, like, you wanting to take a gamble and not talk to

other members of the public. Yep. And then just, just chinwaggers. Just chate as social. I just saw I had to catch an Uber in this morning. The driver was, he was a little rattled. He's like, oh, I just had to go to, um, pick up a lady. and 13 bags.

She had 13 bags. He loaded into the Uber. And she said, oh, can you put this one on your lap? And he said, that was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back. He's like, listen, I don't know if we could do this. He said, we still have more bags to put in. She needs an Excel. There's an Excel.

There's an Excel. He wasn't Excel. It was an Excel. Oh, wow. Why did you get an Excel? I don't know. You like to stretch out, mate. I do.

I want to put my one bag in that giant. He put his bag on the driver's lap and he stretched out in the back. Put this on your lap, would you fail? John O'Bennon and Megan, the podcast, the hits. New Zealand Post are going to be shutting down. So some of the little stores that seem to be inside other stores. You know how they've got counters for New Zealand Post around the country? They're even shutting down the stores inside other stores.

Yeah, like about 150 of them around the country as well. So they're still going to have some post shops, but really limiting. I don't quite understand why they're shutting those things down. Surely they're the most viable ones. Yeah, but anyway, hey, it's not up to me. Wouldn't it be cheaper rent than renting out? That's what I thought as well. But anyway, I always said you should have been on the board of New Zealand Post.

Yeah, so I guess people are sending less and less, you know, letters and post and stuff and paying a lot more bills online. But still there still seems like there's a use for... Yeah, they probably need to get just into the raw courier game. Yeah. You know, because there's still obviously a lot of parcels and packer. I'll tell you, if my front lawn's anything to go by, I turn up every day there's a new package on the lawn. Oh, I got a little. Yeah, it was discount.

Everything's on discount nowadays, isn't it? It's amazing that. Yesterday just mentioned how magpie just sort of dotted on into the lounge through the front door yesterday with a wine cork in its mouth. And after the show, all three of us, producer Troy, Ben, and myself were like, all of us suffered vicious magpie attacks on the way to school back in the day. Yeah. It was, I think it was pretty much a sort of 90s thing it felt like. It does, yeah. It was a war zone out there walking to school.

Yeah, and I even remember, you know, I've talked about yesterday visiting my country. grandparents in Amberley and that, you know, around that region as well, by the golf course there, you'd be, you know, on your bike and it was just, they would swoop. They would just swoop. And he would, as a kid, they would scare. I always remember my dad saying, try and get something above your head. So they're swooping up your head. I put my school bag over me here. Yeah, you put your head on a golf club that I was holding in, trying to cycle on a bike because I had two clubs and I was like, this is just, yes, this thing was swooping at me, yeah. They really felt personal those attacks, didn't they? And just, I haven't been

attached by a magpie since. It's just traumatising. And I felt like I was going nowhere really near. Like if I understand if I was climbing a tree or I was near a tree, but I just was like riding a BMX down the road and getting swooped. Yeah. And it was always that you knew where the zone was. Yeah.

You knew it was coming up. You were dreading it. And it was head down. Like fighter pilots. They're like, all right. Here we go. They've come into our zone. Lock and load.

So 800 the hits. We're the only people to get attacked by magpies on the way to school. And is it so happening? Like, like you say, it doesn't seem to be in the news as much. Maybe they've chilled out a bit more for magpies. Hey, they've had a little AGM. And what happened to the white dog poo that used to be on every little? Oh, yeah, I think it's a diet thing, is it?

Yeah, we'll have to get to that. We'll get to that on another day. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits. We're talking about magpies. Have you been attacked? I mean, I feel like many of us have attacked as kids, maybe growing up through the 90s, two thousands, but is it still happening today? Comedian Josh Thompson, he made news just a couple of

a couple of years ago. He was the middle of a Skype call that was going out online. It was like a live sort of call and a magpie was sweeping at Josh Thompson comedian. Oh poor fella, sorry it's just still being loaded on. You do some more filibenta. Okay, that's right. We'll get to that in just a second. But yeah, 800 of the hits. Have you been attacked by a magpie recently? Because you would come to school and you'd be a little rattled and then you'd have gone instead of spelling death. I've just been launched it. I remember a double attack once. Oh, yeah. Here's the audio of Josh Thompson on the Skype call.

Yes. Oh, hi, hey, bro. Hey, man, how are you going? Good. Go. Are you sure? Oh, I get to sweep. I'll get that.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, God. That's the noise you make. Oh! That's a fully-guired adult there, too. Petrified by getting sweet by a magpie. So that must have been recently.

So Magpie is still attacking. Scott, have you been attacked by a magpie lately? Not recently, not recently But I have seen I went to a funeral And I saw a big Patched gang member With an earring get attacked by a magpie

And he was a big fella And he really Was flapping away Trying to get this thing away from him It was quite hard case No matter your background No matter what walk of life you're from No one looks cool

When being attacked by a magpie No one's frightening for everyone No one's composed No No The beak and everything Oh, geez, yeah. We've all been there, done that.

I remember as a kid, like you say, I used to carry it. My granddad used to tell me to carry a golf club and used to get attacked, but you're right. It's not been attacked for a long time. Put it up above your head, so they go with that. But yeah, very scary. Maybe they're less angry.

Maybe the magpies are, you know, done some therapy, and they're like, hey, why were we just randomly attacking these people? I do remember walking through parks as a kid. And, you know, same thing again, that swoop with me and my friend, and you take your top off, and you just sort of, like you were a stripper, like, you're waving it above your. head like a helicopter above it yeah with your t-shirt on your nipple ring there one

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah looking like a Wellington Phoenix supporter yeah that's fun and so what the magpie obviously took a fancy to the gang members earring the gold earring yep it was a silver earring but yeah went straight for it it was quite hark hey big hoop I love it hey thank you for sharing Scott you going have a wonderful Wednesday no worries you guys have a good one hey text 448 7 my brother got swoops last year got him in the eye got permanent damage oh jee they can get vicious particularly You should Troy your mate had a terrible attack. Yeah, primary school.

We saw old Keith Worthington coming to across the field on his bike. And then we saw one just coming at him from behind. Like, Keith, go, Keith, go, pedal, pedal. Like a war movie. No, Keith. Not Keith Wellington. And we saw it just get him like four or five times. And he could add these cuts on his face.

Oh, she's. Bleeding. Ficious. Listen, here's a soul. Sorry, I really wasn't paying it. Poor Keith Worthington. Sorry about that point. John is like checked out of your story.

me, he's like, come in here tell the story and then check down it halfway through. Because halfway through, someone's texting going, if you put sunglasses on the back of your head, they don't attack. Really? They never attack if they think you're watching them. Oh. That was worth checking out of Keith Worthington's story. What?

The back of your head? Yeah. Are they like, oh, okay, they're watching. Why are they not watching if it's in front? Are you looking? Oh, I don't know. Because they only come from the back. So if they think you've got eyes on them, they're not going to attack you.

And they know, they know, though. So if they do attack, you just turn and stare at them. them dead in the eyes. Give that a crap. I don't know. I don't know if I've got to see how that turns out for you. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The Hits.

The Hits. Top 99 of the 90s. We are looking back at the 90s because we're looking for the best 99 songs from the 90s. If you want to vote right now, you can do so at the Hits. Dot Co.com. For your favorite songs, we'll be doing the countdown February 5th. You know, you're just reflecting. You've really got into a 90s commercial hole.

Yeah. The algorithm must be just dining out on this. Is that all you're getting fed at the moment? A lot of stuff. Yeah, and it's been quite a cool trip back down memory lane. There's something that was many, many people that grew up through that time will remember fondly was the Pizza Hut all you can eat. We could dine in at Pizza Hut, and then there was obviously all you can eat pizza.

The $9.95, I remember, the price being, and you'd always get, but I remember vividly getting bundled up into the back of my friend's dad's Bedford van. No seat belts, no seats. We're all just rolling around on the floor of the van. carting us off to pizza heart. Get in there, fill up. Then you're vomiting on the way back home. Oh, yeah, because we just make absolute pigs of ourselves.

All you could eat pizza. It's terrible. It was the salad bar, which no one really... I mean, I'm a big fan of salad now, but no one to really go near back at the day because you were like, there for pizza, there for dessert, the dessert, you know, as well. And the soft serve machine.

Dangerous. And you could just scoop M&Ms and everything on it. Oh, you'd make a pig of yourself. So this is an ad, I think it might have been just before the 90s, but have a listen to the price for all you can eat. eat pizza. Mansion Pizza Hut buffet to your family and watch them come running. 399 for adults and a dollar 99 for kids.

$2.99 for kids. All you can eat. For adults. Wow. How's that? I'm looking at a menu. There's a menu online from the around about that time for Pizza Hut. When you could dine in and this is not necessarily the all you can eat.

But I love how the wine, you've got white wine, red wine, or spark. Those were your three options. Ale, you've got a draft or a lager. That's it. Nothing too fancy. And they're really diversifying what they did. None of this fancy craft beer. No.

You could get soups as well. You could get like the good old shrimp cocktail. Oh God, I love shrimp cocktails. Then there was other main meals as well as all the pizzas. I didn't know they did the fishermen's fancy, the ham steak. Good old hand steak. Chicken Supreme and a rib-bigh steak. They did all that as well.

Pizza Hut would just had all bases cover, didn't they? Yeah. So if you wanted to be a little bit more fancy, you get yourself a ham steak, could you? And a white wine. Dry white wine. Dry white wine. I remember the placemat as well. I remember just really enjoying the...

You could do the games on it. Yeah, the little pencil that'd give you. And you could do the little maze find and you could do the little word find. Yeah, we're loving that as well. Yeah, we got Pizza Hut last week. And they have invented every type of pizza imaginable. They've got thick crust, thin crust, stuffed crust, stuffed crust, Stuff crust with more stuffed crust, cheese crust, a flat-based pizza, the New Yorker.

And now, do you know what the new edition is? What's that? The crustless pizza. Oh, crustless pizza? Cressless pizza. There's nothing more they can do to pizza this place. What? They have brainstormed every possible.

They're putting cheese and crusts and all sorts, aren't they? But you're right, that's probably all they've done it. Back here, back here, I think you had two options. You had pan or crispy. Yeah. Pan-based pizza. That's it. That's it.

Back the end in the 90s, they're like, what? You're doing what? now? Well, you know those crusts. We don't have them anymore, mate. Eliminated them. So you head to online the Hits.com.com.com. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast, The Hits. Of course, this year. Yeah, I'm really enjoying this hour that we get to tidy up some loose ends. It's great to be with you for longer, hanging out during the day. And yeah, you're right,

we can tidy up some things that have come through. Things have slipped, you know, they've been put at our inbox, you know. Because we did have a bit of an issue with the tissue debate earlier on the show where they're a bane of everyone's households, the tissues in the pockets, they go on the washing machine, comes out looking like a snow globe of regret, doesn't it?

And what do you do in that instance? Do you try and shake it out, because then it all goes over the floor, I try and run out onto the lawn and shake it out. And I'm like, could I hang it out and could we ride it out, or does it need to go back in? And it needs to go back in. You can't deny it.

Some clothes are more clinging than others, right? Some are fine, and others you're like, oh, that's not going to work. It's got to go for a round two. Now, producer Troy, it's a real hot point in your relationship at the moment the tissue issue.

It's happened twice this year. Yeah, that's a lot, that's pretty, yeah, it's high numbers. Yeah, so the debate for us is whose job is it to make sure there's no tissue paper and I reckon it's the person who puts the washing in the washing machine because you're the last line of defence.

Now, we had a clean sweep on the phones earlier in the morning, people just going, the owner, the owner operator of the trousers, it falls on them to remove the tissue before putting it in the washing. So you would say that, Under your analogy, okay, so there's a football, I've always taken back to sport, it's a football goal scored.

The Auckland FC have had a goal scored against them. You're blaming the goalkeeper. Yeah, you're not blaming the striker. You know, it's gone, especially gone past every other one. A defender? Yeah, everyone other defenders and teammates, and you're like, no, it's a goalkeeper, mate. Well, I suppose the goalkeeper's the only one who features on the highlight reel is when there's a goal scored. So, yeah, who else do you put in the finger at?

Now, Shelley from Mount Monganui, lovely to have you on. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, guys. Show catchphrase. our thoughts and condolences with you and the people of the mountain. Papamara and Todonga at the moment? Yeah, it's pretty gut-wrenching at the moment, but hopefully they'll find the people very soon.

Yeah, it's so sad. You're just stories about the wonderful people that are helping out other people as well, you know, trying to warn them as well and getting that, you know, and they sadly lost their life. It's really, really sad. It's been, I think all New Zealanders have been thinking about that over the last week. Heartbreaking, yeah. And it's what we just take for granted, isn't it,

that we just go away and, yeah, enjoy our holiday. Those people were just in the toilet block, weren't they? Oh, no. You wouldn't have, yeah. Anyway, to a far more trivial issue. Just a bit of a gear change there. You want to say something to producer Troy? Yes, Troy, I have a question.

Okay. Did your mum do everything for you when you were growing up? Oh, that seems like a loaded question, Shelley. Well, when you say growing up, what do you mean? Well, you know, evidently she used to go and, you know, go through your pockets and, you know, just run around after you because, yeah, you just don't do that anymore. Yeah, he's right.

He's not even thinking about that, is he? No. He's putting your pants into the wash without even checking what's in the pockets. And what makes you think that the last person, evidently your partner, is the one that has to check the pockets for you. Now, Troy, might I say this would not be a good time

to argue back with someone from Mount Munganoo. No. You know, out of any moment. You might just have to take this one on the chin, Troy. I'll take your feedback. I think he has to. I'll take that back home to my partner.
