The Jono, Ben and Megan podcast thanks to HelloFresh, your home advantage for delicious midweek dinners everyone will love. Welcome to the podcast on a Tuesday morning where Megan, a very vulnerable show you're about to hear from us, right? Yeah, I made an omission, hoping I wasn't the only one, which you'll hear about. Do you feel good? Sorry, you're eating a snack. Yeah, what are you eating there? Seeds or something? Pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds, okay. No, I... They a snack. What are you eating there? Seeds or something. Pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds. No, I... They look depressing.

I feel good that there's a lot of people that have bad hygiene as well. Yeah. But I do feel like I've exposed myself a little bit. But it must feel kind of good that when you put something out there, you think, oh, because that's the point of the segment. Am I the only one? Am I the only one that does this? To have other people go, no, that's more of a normal thing than you thought.

Did you feel good last week when you exposed yourself? Yeah. Should I give more context to that? No, no more context to that. He's like, have a look at this. Am I the only one who's got an S bend in it? You weren't the only one, Ben. So, yeah, Megan, although when you think about your issue, Megan,

peel it back, you're like, oh, of course they would. Yeah, you're right when you think About your issue Megan Peel it back You're like Of course they would Yeah Of course they would When you think about it Yeah You smelt them I don't

Yeah I don't It was a real waft You know Okay Well no but Because I was like Oh I'm going to have to Ham this up

But then I kind of But I sniffed in But you didn't And then Yeah It got to the back Of the nostrils It's almost like

What you've got in there is a plug, just plugging in the rim. Yeah, wafty. But have a listen to this. Now, one of us gets to throw out something where they think they potentially could be the only person that does it. They want to know if it's a normal thing to do. Last episode, Ben Boyce

looks up spoilers for some movies and TV shows. He kind of treats movies like weather forecasts. He wants to know what he's in for, what he needs to prepare for, if he needs to wear a raincoat. Even sports games. Sometimes you'll find out the result and then watch it. Not intentionally with sports games, but yeah, sometimes intentionally with movies and TV

shows. And there was a few other people that did it as well. You must have a warm feeling of just knowing you could ruin it for anyone at any moment. I wouldn't want to do that, though, you know. I'd be like, I think that guy's the killer. Oh, what? So he wasn't the only one. Surprisingly. Now, Megan, you've told us about this as well.

Something to do with your body? Yeah. So the only thing about these is you do feel a little bit weird. And this one, I feel a little bit gross. So that's why you want some sort of help on 0800THEHATS with someone going, hey, I do this. It kind of, it's kind of like, yeah, normalizes it. I kind of want to know that this is normal and I'm okay.

She wants to validate this weird act that she's about to share with us. But also in doing so I'm revealing myself Okay Am I the only one Whose piercing holes Smell bad Your ear piercing holes Like really bad

So you've got to a point in life where you're like I'm going to give that a sniff just to see what it's Out of curiosity When I remove my earrings I was going to say how does this come about It's not like it's out of curiosity when i remove my earrings i was gonna say how does this come about it's not like andrew's sort of kissing your neck even that made me go smell it wet washing when you take out your earrings and like i rub my ear because then it's like oh there's nothing in there give it a good rub and then i realize that like they smell

like weird gross i know sometimes you just want to smell stuff though do i've done i have done having a good rub. And then I realised that, like, they smell, like, weird, gross. I know. Sometimes you just want to smell stuff, though, do you? Yeah. I have done that with some really old items over the years. Toenails. Don't do that. Don't not do that.

That's confronting. That's weird. Because you kind of know they're going to smell bad. Well, I can't join you on this because I currently don't have earrings or any piercings. No, I have one in one ear. And they actually work, mate. Has it still got a hole in it? I haven't put an earring in it for maybe 15 years.

And my daughter put one in like last week. She was like, does it still work? It was like, yeah, bang. It still pierced. And it just went straight through. Rub your ear now with your fingers. And then give it a sniff. Yeah, but I haven't been wearing anything in it for a long time.

Yeah, sniff your lobes, Ben. It doesn't smell. It doesn't smell. It's not going to. What we need to do to authenticate this is Megan needs to take her earring out and Ben, you need to smell her ears. Oh, no. This is the only way that we can.

I don't want to inflict that on Ben. How bad does it smell? Surely it's not that. It doesn't seem like it should be. It's stinky. Okay, I won't hold it to that. Is Megan the only one who's smelling her earrings and has smelly ear holes? Yeah.

I hope there's someone else. I need to know it's normal. You've got some hygiene issues you might need to deal with Why am I supposed to clean my ear holes? My piercings CJ's come through early First cab off the rank Are you smelling your piercing CJ?

Yep You are? Like currently? No not now And do they smell fresh or? They don't smell. Oh, Megan. Oh, my God.

Megan, you might be the only one. Okay. 100 of the hits, 4487 is Megan the only one. Everyone take your earrings out now, please. Any medical professionals, we might need you to. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits.

Whose earrings? When she takes them out, her ear holes smell. Yeah. I just had a whiff of that. We'll put up on the hits breakfast story. I went over on my own accord. I was like.

I did warn you it was yuck. You did. And maybe I'll have to ham it up. You're like, it smells like feet. And I sniffed in and geez, I got a good waft of it. You're doing God's work out here, Ben Boyce. So he smells.

He has smelled my earring holes and he says they stink. Defeat would be a good description. Like, you know, like if you've worn shoes for a day, it's not like it's, oh, but it's definitely that smell. God, I've really put myself out there this morning. Smacked you at the nose, didn't it? Well, good on you, Ben Boyce.

You're a hero, Kiwi hero. Kylie, good morning to you. Megan wanted to know, is she the only one whose ears smell? No, mine do too. Even if it's just me and Kylie, what do they smell like? Oh, my God. Do they smell like feet? Have a smell, Kylie.

Give us some live. I don't know what they smell like, but my daughters do as well, seeing online. I was just driving to work listening to you guys just in absolute hysterics. A lot of people come through, and this is why we do this segment.

They just smell like something dead. I don't know. She's like, that's the only thing. Like a cat that's sort of been locked under a house for five years sort of thing. Text coming through. Yes, Megan, mine do.

Yes, my earrings stink. I thought I was the only one Which is so nice for someone to probably be validated It doesn't stop their ears from smelling Someone said my piercing holes smell like dried apricots You might be the only one If someone says their ear holes don't smell They're lying to you

Great text here I'm a massage therapist One of my colleagues accidentally knocked out an expander on a guest's ear, so I guess one of those bigger plate-looking things. Oh, yeah. And apparently the whole room, the entire treatment was stained with odour to the point where the therapist was gagging for the whole hour. So there you go.

It's a thing. It's a thing, Megan. You're not alone. We've already clarified that. Jenny, what do your ears smell like? Hello, you're just one of my things. I'm not sure why, but you're only one. Which side?

Only one. My right ear. What's it smelling like, Jenbo? Oh, that's not Jenbo. I don't know, kind of a musty, moldy kind of smell. It's pretty ring. Nice stuff. Nice stuff.

Maybe I only sleep on that side. I don't know. Oh, yeah. So they do say it's like a build-up of, like, you know, a bit of grime and stuff. Yeah. Dead skin cells. So we need to be watching that.

Well, then the earring should push it out then, shouldn't it? Yeah. She's like, Jenny wants to blame someone. Who's at fault for these stinky ears? Well, good on you. Hey, I think we've shone a light on a new issue here. Thank God. Megan Pappas, the face of smelly ear holes.

She's started GoFundMe or something. You're not alone. John O'Bannon Megan, the podcast. The hits. Off for a few days, over school holidays. My daughters love going to the mall. They're in their teenage years. Gen Z, Gen Alpha, I think one of them is. And they love going along. And they always talk to me about gen z gen gen alpha i think one of them is

and they love going along and they always talk to me about you know like your jeans are too skinny dad your jeans are too skinny you're not cool i'm like um i'm not cool i'll get out i'm not cool i'm fine but they're like no it's too skinny no one's wearing your skinny jeans it's you know you need to get some sort of baggier jeans right now because the skinny you've had a good run with skinny of the last decade probably 10 years they've 10 years, they've had a good outing. And I keep saying, and producer Grace, we brought you in as well, you get frustrated. Do my daughters. I'm like, I had those.

I had baggy jeans like 15 years ago. They don't have them anymore. And yes, I should have kept them. But now they're all back in fashion. Yes, you should have kept them then. I know. So great. That's one of Grace's bugbears.

There's a genji. It's us old people going, we used to wear that. I remember that. The first time we had. Yeah. And so we're out shopping with my daughters and they i was like all right help me out there so i bought some jeans and from one store and then i bought a top they were like a top as well which i'm wearing today which almost like one of those dickies tops it's kind of like it looks like it looks like you look like a oversized oversized shirt sort of thing it's a mechanics top it looks like It looks like it was a bring-your-kid-to-work day and Ben's bony little frame is in this parachute-sized mechanics top.

Yeah, so quite a lot larger clothing than I would normally wear, but my kid's like, it's great. It looks awesome. You look great, you know. Real confidence boost for me. You're like, you're fitting in. Turned up, I was like, well, then wear it. We're going to visit some friends.

Wear it around. Friends were around my age, you know, around our age. Gave it a test run. Our first person, like, I walked in without a word a lie. Nice mum jeans What times my car ready Today and I'm fine To be mocked I'm fine

I'm used to it But I was like Oh you know And I'm wearing it And I happily wear it many times now But producer Grace I wanted to hear from you You want my honest opinion

Honest opinions here You won't be mad at me No I won't be mad at all No I think you look great I said It's six o'clock I know

I said Ben looks amazing today I would want my partner To wear an outfit like that I think you look great This is very off brand for you Grace'clock. I know. I said, Ben looks amazing today. I would want my partner to wear an outfit like that. I think you look great. This is very off-brand for you, Grace, on the show. I love it. I love the Dickies top, and I love the baggy jeans, and I said the whole fit.

And his top matches the shoe color. Like, he's – I know. I'm obsessed with your outfit today, Ben. Okay. But when I walked in, what did I say to you five o'clock this morning? You got in my shirt. John, I did as well, too.

I see my shirt. Yeah, I did. I did. He looks great. say to you five o'clock this morning my shirt john i did as well i said my shirt yeah i did he looks like oh the backstreet boys are back on tour we better we better we'll dress them down backstreet's back they said they were gonna be back all right and they've got like a fashion consultant and they're like this is it now and they're like really we wore these first time around they're like no you can win them again you need to wear it again. So there you go.

But it is good. Because you do get stuck in your way. Yeah. And I don't mind getting mocked. I'm first thing in mind myself will get things as well. But it's like, get mocked. But it's good to kind of move those things. I'm just so happy you moved on from the skinny jeans.

That was a big, big discretion in our relationship. They're a lot more comfortable. A lot more comfortable. Yes, you can do so many more activities. How many activities do you want to do in those jeans, Ben? Imagine everything you can do in those big, biggy jeans. Lunges. Star jump.

You can do a really good star jump. Do a few lunges. Yeah, I definitely could do some lunges. I get mocked all the time for things I wear. You've just got to own it. Exactly. Yeah, you're right. And you think about it, would you rather the Gen Z think you're cool,

or these two old people over here? Hey, excuse me. Who do you want the respect of you've got my respect watch out that felt so good yeah Grace said

it looks good you guys you're right it was them I was like I don't know you care about me thank you you look great

Grace thank you thank you Grace you guys would know because Grace is normally like it's very hard to impress Grace I'm normally a hater you can say that

only a slay queen homies would know oh thank you Grace I appreciate it she's got a little peep in her stick I'm normally a hater. You can say that. Only a slay queen homies would know. Oh, thank you, Grace. I appreciate it. He's got a little pep in his step. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast.

The hits. No, we go through life and we say, I don't know how many times a day. You're like, how are you? Everyone just goes, good. I'm good. And sometimes I think, oh, they're not good. You know? But that's all you want to hear. Sometimes you're like, oh, I'm good.

First thing you're taught as a human being is welcome to the world. By the way, if anyone asks you how you are, no one wants to hear anything else apart from good things. The worst thing is when someone's like, oh, I'm okay. And you're like, damn it. I have to delve in. Is that what happened yesterday? So yesterday I was like, how are you? And I already thought this guy didn't look great.

Did you know this person? No. This is a stranger at an establishment. So I was purchasing something. Right. So he was like, how are you? And I was, he was a little bit like quiet and downtrodden looking. So I didn't think he was going to say much.

And I was like, how are you? And that's when I noticed he was only using one hand and his other hand was just like dangling by his side. And he was like, do you know what? I'm not very good, actually. And you're like, oh, God, I'm not paying to hear your problems, mate. You're a paying customer. Plus, I was only buying, like, two things.

So the transaction was almost done. And I had heard how they had accidentally, like, picked up something heavier than they should have. They've wrenched something in the back. Physio hasn't fixed it. He's scared to go to ACC and talk to his boss. I've heard the whole back story, even how someone else in his life had suffered from the same thing and they'd be down for months.

I was like, oh, no. How do I back out? He's downloaded a full season of trauma on you. I could tell you so much about his life. And I did. I felt really bad for his situation but also I just wanted to go home

and make some dinner. Yeah, but you are one of those people. We went to a social function and there was a guy talking at her for I reckon about 95 minutes. I know.

I'm a good listener. I'm not a good talker. You're like a counsellor sort of person. Talker. Unpaid therapist. Yeah, and I can't,

I don't, once someone starts talking that's why I'm real, like, I'm a sucker for those people on the street, charity workers. They're like, you look nice,

and I'm like, all right, I'm in, what? There's this idea, I was saying to a friend of mine who's similar to you, she's a really good listener, she finds herself, she's like,

I'll build up for 45 minutes with this person. I'm like, you need to charge, you need to go around parties, and often she's sober, you know, be the one,

people go, one hour with you, you pay me me and people when they're drunk will probably pay a couple hundred bucks yes just listen to me just listen 45 minute great next person i'm already doing it and i'm not getting paid just do it as a thing go around parties because i don't like i don't like the small talk but you can talk at me and i'll i'll be there yeah some people just like sharing don't, they do. I overheard a guy yesterday, he's like, has anyone got any Imodium?

I'm bloody, my guts are no good. And I was like, oh, okay, he's ready. Then he kept going, he kept going. Oh, God. And I was like, oh, is he about to explode? What's going to go on here? Where were you? I was just at the doctor's clinic.

Oh, yeah, the doctor's, okay. He's placed for some Imodium. He's at the doctor's, mate. That sounded really random. I suppose I needed to say with the city. Yeah, why? He's at the right place and he's got a sore, upset stomach. He's been like, excuse me, you need to see this guy

ASAP. He's going to defecate on your chair. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The heads. We started something a couple of weeks ago where we noticed that it's very awkward when you haven't prearranged a FaceTime call with someone, just to FaceTime them out of the blue. Yeah, you either think it's accidental or a hostage situation, don't you, when you get a FaceTime call?

Do you actually answer them? Like if I FaceTime called you this afternoon, 2.30. Probably not. I would answer it from you. Who wouldn't you answer it from on the team? You've got Grace. No, I'd answer from everyone on the team because I'd probably think it was something to do with work.

Not a FaceTime. Nah, probably no one from the team. No, unless it was prearranged. Unless it was prearranged. Probably no one from the team. Because I'd just go, now why are they FaceTiming? You know, like, yeah.

If it was John, I'd be like, he's butt-dialed that. Yeah, like I said, yeah. If it was John, I would be like, he's butt dialed that. Yeah. Like, it's not, yeah. No, no, for the team. No, to be honest. I don't answer my phone at the best of times, but I wouldn't. No, I definitely wouldn't.

What if I was in trouble and I accidentally just FaceTimed? If you rang back again on FaceTime, I'd probably answer a second time. Would you, like, after the first FaceTime, would you text and go? No, I'm dead after the first one. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, mate. He wasn't going to pay that ransom. I'm not the person to call, all right?

All right. My wife's my emergency. Maybe your wife. Maybe. Like, you know, again, I'd feel like, why are they FaceTiming me? Because she's your wife. That's why she's FaceTiming you. She might be in the supermarket being like, are these the biscuits you like, sweetheart?

My wife, maybe. Why is she FaceTiming me? Normally, 99% of the time, I'm at the supermarket, so I'd be FaceTiming. But no one answers my FaceTime call anyway. Well, thank God we're not calling Ben this morning. We're going to try and call Jeremy Corbett. I'm going to plug my phone in.

So it's going to flash up this morning, early morning FaceTime call, 7.30. It's going to flash up with us Face early morning FaceTime call 7.30. They're going to flash up with us FaceTiming Jeremy Corbett from 7 days. Alright, Jeremy Corbett. Again he's going to... He's going to be wondering why you're FaceTiming.

This is not right. Oh! Hello. Hey, how you going? Jeremy Corbett! Hey! We're all here. Well, this is Face the FaceTime, Corby, where we... Well, it's sort of self-explanatory. Is that Megan?

Hi, hi, Jerza. How are you? Oh, the good one and the other two. Thanks, babe. How are you, Jeremy Corbett? Yeah, pretty good, but chaotic. You know, as a few people know, if they watch Seven Days, selling my house.

It was on the paper too. We're one roof loyal here at NZMe. We've been reading about it, mate. We've been out there trying to get people into your open homes. Thanks, man. I've been paying you a fine sum to do so. Tell you what, if you want me to go to the auction, I can get the bids up and be like, 29 million. I can just imagine you would end up winning the bidding and then there'd be the awkward conversation about actually paying for it.

Now, Jeremy, actually timely that we got you because Seven Days is back on. Welcome back. New Zealand's probably most loved program. Oh, thank you, man. Yeah, it's great to be back. It's such good fun. I've been waiting for it, you know. Who gets to, well, actually you guys get to sit down and talk crap with your mates as a job. And, yeah, I get to do that on Seven Days. So it's really cool.

Now, Jeremy, is there any stuff that you do with Seven Days? Because, you know, it's filmed live in front of the studio audience. Any stuff where you're like, that's too raw to put on air and most of it but then sometimes you must be watching it afterwards because it is recorded you record like a over a couple of hours and then you have to someone has to make the big choices to what makes the year but you must sit around watch and go oh my goodness this is actually on sometimes yeah that's right yeah no i know i know what's coming up and I'm like, I wonder if they've decided to cut that bit out.

And if I'm really, really worried about it, they usually leave it in. If I don't care, they'll cut it out. Well, what about when your lovely wife, Megan, you know, there's stuff said in the room, there's some jokes around that, and then you have to sit and watch with her. Does that ever get awkward?

Yeah, no, i definitely make sure she misses any of those comments i'll um you know definitely definitely do my own home edit to make sure megan oh what's over on that country calendar this is a really quick one i've sat on the remote again oh jeremy well hey thank you for facing the face time this morning pleasure always a pleasure to catch up with megan i was going to say what did you think when you see Oh, Jeremy. Well, hey, thank you for facing the FaceTime this morning. Pleasure. Always a pleasure to catch up with Megan. I was going to say, what did you think when you see Jono Pryor FaceTiming you? Well, I usually do answer.

You do, actually. If I can, I usually answer because I've sat in your chairs and I know what it's like. He needs to help out. He can smell the desperation. And at the moment, he's like, does Jono want to buy my house? Well, maybe he does. I'm going help out. He can smell the desperation. You've done radio. And at the moment, he's like, does Jono want to buy my house? Or maybe he does.

I'm going to take this call. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm taking all calls at the moment. I can see. In fact, we'll do a text poll now.

4487, do you want to buy Jeremy Corbett's house? We'll put all bids welcome. Oh, Jerry, lovely to see you, mate.

Lovely to see you. Take care. Seven days, back again on three. Thursday night back on three. You can catch it on three now as well. I didn't expect him to answer, but there you go. As he said, he knows what the desperation's like for radio announcers.

Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Dear Megan. This is people sliding into Megan. Papasas. Papasas. DMs.

Their life is on fire. It's a burning wreck. And they ask for advice from people from the radio audience, which is sort of like sitting next to someone on the bus going, should I get divorced? And getting advice from complete strangers. We don't have to deal with the consequences of the fallout. You're crowdsourcing advice. But you're right, there's a lot more people that can get involved,

which is good. So this one reads, Dear Megan, I was the silly one who decided to take my niece and nephew away with my two kids to an Airbnb

for a few days in the school holidays to give my sister a wee break. It was carnage. Never again. I was in the kitchen for 10 minutes max

and my nephew kicked a ball into the TV. Oof. The landlord is demanding two thousand dollars to replace it which is fair enough so i told my sister i would split it with her she reckons i need to pay for all of it because they should have been supervised is that fair i thought splitting it would be the best option yeah i would think so as well, but first rule, never be outnumbered by children.

Four to one. Yeah. You're really going to struggle to look after four to one for a week, but that aside, my thoughts are you'd split, because if you've created a child, they're your problem. You know, at the end of it, as much as you don't like to admit it, you've got to cover for them. But would you pay the full amount then? Would you feel like it was your kid doing the damage? I just think if my kids had gone anywhere, same as Jono,

they're my responsibility. They should know. I mean, we don't know the ages of them, but they should know that kicking a ball inside is not ideal. I know. Sometimes you don't want to know your kids. You're in public and someone's looking at you like, no, I don't know that child peeing into a rubbish bin.

He's had no part in creating that human being. But you've got to, at the end of the day, as a parent, you've got to take responsibility. At least half. At least. I'd probably go the full amount. Right. I actually thought the half offal was pretty generous.

And you'd, like, I would have taken that. I would have been like, yeah, absolutely. So you're saying full amount, yeah. Full amount for the parent. What are you saying? Well, it is, yeah, I'd like, I would have taken that. I would have been like, yeah, absolutely. So you're saying full amount, yeah. Full amount for the parent. What are you saying? Well, it is, yeah, I would probably, yeah. I can see, it's a nice compromise. I do like the middle amount, you know.

Halfway there, boys. Yeah, I do. I feel like that's a nice, that's a nice arrangement as well. Because there is a certain amount of responsibility if you are looking after the kids that you're meant to keep an eye on them. The trouble here is. It's your kids, as you say. Yeah, and they're not like random kids. It's your niece and nephew,

and so it's your sister. And you also have to decide, is this money going to cause issues? Like, are you going to never talk to your sister again for this? Well, she was nice enough to take the kids away. Now she's gaslighting her into not paying for her TV. Your kids are damaged. Okay, so where do you sit on this?

What an interesting legally where you would sit. Because a guardianship would come into play there. Because she technically is the official guardian at that point in time. That's what I was wondering. Yeah, whether she should be paying for it legally. Yeah, does anyone know out there? I mean, morally, we all know what we should be doing. But in a court of law, if you took it there and they just look at the facts,

what would the result be? I don't know. You're the legal guardian all the time. They've just taken them away temporarily. I'm just trying to think of, you know, if your kid was away on a school camp or something like that and they did something, who's responsible for that situation? Probably the school.

I was going to say the parent. The parent. I don't know. There's a massive power outage, Would that fall on the school? Would that fall on the parents? I don't know. Yeah. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. There's a massive power outage, not in New Zealand, but in Spain and Portugal at the moment. 58 million people affected by it.

58 million people. Crazy. They said it's an atmospheric phenomenon. Trains, communications, networks, traffic is all affected over there at the moment. So crazy. For how long? I'm not sure. Until they fix it.

Jeez. A lot of people. Oh, you're like one of those parents who's like, how long till dinner? When it's ready. How long's a piece of string? I want some hard times that we can work, these poor people can work towards. They want some light at the end of the tunnel. Literal light.

We can't solve that problem, but let's see if we can solve this one. Dear Megan. Okay, to recap. A woman has taken their niece and nephew as well as their two kids to an Airbnb. Fast forward, the nephew has kicked a ball into the TV. Now the landlord of the Airbnb is demanding $2,000 to replace it.

So she offered to split it with her sister. Who is at fault? Who should pay is the drama that we're having at the moment. A lot of great texts and feedback coming through on this one. A common theme is, like, how big is this TV? Is it like an IMAX movie theatre screen? That's what I thought. $2,000.

We'll go to the phones. Kath, morning to you, Kathie. Morning, how are you? We're doing well. Lovely to hear your voice this morning, Kathy. What's your advice? Well, first of all, the $2,000 TV is really expensive in an Airbnb.

That's quite expensive. They normally have insurance to belong to Airbnb. You have to have some form of insurance. So at the end of the day, his insurance should collect it. Maybe he's being a bit grubby, a bit greedy, the Airbnb owner. I'm suspecting that.

So let them know that they're happy to pay the access, which shouldn't be more than $400 or $500. Yeah. Another great text here. $2,000 TV? Is that the bloody sphere in Las Vegas? Maybe we're getting a little caught up, but I guess it is a lot. I've been in many Airbnb's and I've never seen a $2,000 TV.

Yeah, $2,000 TV. Hell of a TV. Sounds a lot like the landlord's trying to get one over them. Yeah. The TV's probably not worth $2,000. No. Hey, thank you, Cathy. No, no.

Appreciate that. Now, insurance is a big one coming through too. No. Hey, thank you, Cathy. Appreciate that. Now, insurance is a big one coming through too. Yeah. Yeah, like Cathy just mentioned. Pay the excess. Maybe the landlord doesn't want to lose a no claims bonus or something. Someone said charge the woman for babysitting. $2,000 should cover it.

When we – I was going to say the parents should always cover damage that their kid does. Yeah, I agree. But. You create them, you've got to cover them for a certain period of time, then they're out on their own. So let's say they get the excess, I still think the parents should pay all of the excess. Pay the whole amount. The whole lot. Well, particularly, I guess, because it was a favour.

You were, like, taking their kids away, you know, to give you some time out. And they should know better than to kick balls inside. Yeah. If the kid's old enough to be kicking a ball, surely he should know better. Yeah, well, there we go. There's your advice. What was the advice? Sorry, there's so much advice.

Get the excess from the insurance and pay, the parent pay all of it. $2,000 is a lot for a TV. But you can get some nice TVs for $2,000. I bet you can. Yeah, but he's not putting it in any of B&B. You want a 75-inch TV, Megan? You get one of those for $2,000. Oh, my God.

75, that's... That's too much inches, though, for a house. Sometimes you go into those display centres and you're like, that's a nice TV. But if you put that in a house, that's like covering an entire wall. 75 inches of TV. You'd think I have a wall to cover that. There is other ones not quite as big, but that's

how much TV you can get for $2,000. Oh lord. Covered an enormous amount of ground with this one. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Just saying before that over the holidays I met a friend and he was just out and about with work,

and I met one of his colleagues. He's like, this is my colleague, and just got talking. He is leaving a steady-paying job to start up a new business with his fiancée. All right. Now, bearing in mind I don't really know this guy, but I feel like I should have some sort of intervention. Because I don't know. He's like, I'm going to leave this Pretty good paying job

Right Yeah To go and start A cat cafe Oh And I'm like I'm thinking to myself This is a terrible idea

This is Nothing against cats And cat cafes Because I then went away And researched How many cat cafes In the region That he's wanting to start

Yeah right Well catered for Oh really Yeah Okay Six to eight of them Oh wow Yeah I didn't realise There was that many How many cat cafes in the region that he's wanting to sell? Yeah, right. Well catered for. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Six to eight of them. Oh, wow. Yeah.

I didn't realise there was that many around the place. Too many, some would say. Yeah. Those cats must be just driving a hard bargain between all the cafes, getting a better salary at each cafe. Yeah. But yeah, so he's going to open either the ninth or... Yeah, that's a lot.

That's a lot of cat cafes. Yeah. And you can't rely on cats. All customers. Two things you can't rely on cats or customers two things you can't rely on so you got a point of difference like more cats or like you know cat put a dog maybe dog in there as well just to mix things up keep it spicy in the cafe now do it does it fall on me that another person has shared their business idea and I'm thinking, this is going to mean financial ruin. You're leaving a good paying job. Yeah, no.

No, you stay out of it. You stay out of it. Chase your dreams. Especially if it's not someone who's a mate of yours. Yeah. Like he'd gone, hey, John, I want your advice. You're like, okay, that's sweet. But if not, just let them.

Let them. Let them and be there for them if it falls over. And hopefully it will work out for them. Yeah, because you're also not an expert in cat cafes. No, true. It might be the greatest cat cafe the world has seen. Mate, and if there's like eight of them already, then maybe, you know, it feels like a crowded market.

It feels like radio stations. Maybe theirs will be the one that franchises and will end up being the new McDonald's. I'll back off. I'll back off. I will go and have a coffee and pet a cat. Have you ever been to a cat cafe? I've always wondered what the health and safety logistics are for that.

They wouldn't be doing food, surely. Well, it's a cafe. Yeah, I think that, yeah, you can't have food. Maybe they're in cages. No, they're wandering around. You can pet the cats or the cats in the corner. Don't know how they got that past the council. The cats are in cages

when the council comes past. The Rat Cafe. You'd be like, that's a rat cafe, guys. Rat and cockroach cafe. That's a rat cafe. That's what we're doing. It's a great little

technicality for the council. That's his point of difference. The Rat Cafe. Yes, it's a rat cafe. Just drops hygiene standards, turns it into a feature. Come dine with the rats. Great, worked on that animated movie, right? Right, it's a a feature. Come time with the rats. Right, worked on that animated movie, right?

Right or two? John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast. The hats. Valerie the sausage dog has stolen the hearts of Australians and now some Kiwis as well. This is an amazing tale of a miniature dash hound that went missing on Kangaroo Island in 2023.

Almost 18 months ago, a couple sadly left their South Australia holiday without their sausage dog, Valerie. But soon they'll be back here boarding a ferry again to be reunited with their beloved pup. Finally found safe and sound after roaming Kangaroo Island for 529 days. This is a remarkable tale. Like for a dog that's smaller than a toaster to survive on a, you know,

that dog's done some grim things to stay alive. Oh, totally. She was four kgs when she went missing. She was a tiny little miniature dash-owned lap dog who had a little pink collar and they were like mourning her because kangaroo islands, you know, there's lots of things that could eat her.

That dog should be in a handbag. Yeah. Not on an island. They reckon Valerie survived on roadkill and probably some native things as well. Right. And there was rivers and stuff that she can drink from, but she's been on there 17 months. She looks magnificent.

So she got back to the owners now. Yeah, so they had to capture her because she kept eluding. I'd be a bit scared of the dog. Yeah, you're like, is she savage? A bit feral. You're like, oh, what's it? Apparently,

it only takes a day or so for like a dog, especially to switch into survival mode when they realise, oh, I'm lost. Problem is, they are going to wake up

and that dog is going to be staring them dead in the eyes wanting to eat their face. It's the dog's house now. Like, I'm going to move out. Needs to be like, Vazza now. I'm going to move out. Needs to be like Vazza now. I don't respond to Valerie.

They are remarked. What I would love is the freedom of being an animal where you can just turn up anywhere and make it your home. We returned from Easter.

Our neighbour came over and she's got a big Doberman but she had another tiny little fluffy dog. The most adorable little fluffy friendly dog like climbing all over the Doberman and stuff. And she's little fluffy dog. The most adorable little fluffy, friendly dog, like climbing all over the Doberman and stuff. And she's like, do you know whose dog this is? Turned up

three days ago. Oh, really? Just walked into the house, hasn't left, made itself at home. And the Doberman's like, alright, mate. Yeah, we were away for Easter so she's like, I've checked every house on the street, no one owns this dog. And she was giving me that look in the eyes of like, please let this be yours because I have no other options right now. and then you're trying when you're in those

situations you try and give you know you try and pretend like you have helpful advice and i was like have you checked the collar she's like looked at me like yeah like four days ago yeah and i was trying to give some half-hearted sort of i had no problem solving yeah so i think it's still with her take it to the local vet or community pages yeah true they just make it they make wherever they are home don't they

especially cats they just wander off we had a friend who had a really fat cat and it went missing for a long time and it came back skinny as it had been locked

in someone's garage who had gone away on holiday oh really and then it went on a forced diet and came back really skinny. Lock me up in that bloody garage, mate. I'm going to do a couple of weeks in the garage. Okay, well, maybe we should open up the phones this morning. 0800 the hits, 4487.

I don't know if we're going to beat 529 days, but did you have a miracle pet find? Did your pet go away and did they come back? Could it have made small or local news maybe national news we moved in marston 5k's away from the place that we were first living our cat went back three times third time didn't come back but the other two times what happened to it i don't know i don't know but the first two times we got a call from the people that moved to the new house sorry our old house going are your cats here here?

Miracle Pet Finds Amy welcome to the program Hey morning guys How are we? We're doing really well Lovely to have you on In Ototahi this morning What happened?

It was a cat Hey yes I had a cat, Marlin. I lived in Christchurch for a few years, and when they had the earthquake, she went missing. I moved to Auckland. Three years later, I received an email from someone saying they'd found my cat. They'd gone in to get her de-sexed, and the vet was like, hold on, this cat's already been de-sexed.

Get her microchipped. And my email address was still the same, so that was really cool. Wow. And then I put it up on, I think, Facebook, Anyone in Christ Church, and a friend of a friend of a friend was down there for the weekend, put her on a flight with her, and brought her back for me. No, what a great story. And do you think your cat forgot you, and, you know, met better people?

Oh, no. I don't know if she remembered me. It wasn't like a dog would, but, you know, cats are pretty cruisy. I love those videos where you see, like, a soldier returns home to his Labrador. It wasn't like one of those moments? No, not at all. She just kind of meowed and looked at me like, oh, I'm back. Are you going to feed me?

I'll say if you feed me. Oh, thank you for sharing. What a remarkable story. Now, we've got Ashley in CEO of Music, Ashley Bryce Lovely to have you in here Ashley for the hits You've got an incredible, so how many dogs do you own in your family?

Well I've now got three but across the family there's nine So a lot of dogs That is a lot of dogs What happened to you? Just before Christmas I was looking after a dog that was not mine. It was being rehomed and I lost her in the bush for a week. And so you

didn't come back to work, did you? I didn't come back to work. I was up north and I stayed up there for the week. I spent hours upon hours every day in the bush, like, hunting for her. Wait, did you take her for a walk in the bush? No, I, our property had grass out the front

And I stupidly put her down on the grass And she just bolted Oh my goodness So she's gone missing It's not your dog Not my dog Not microchipped No collar

Nothing identifying her And she's in the bush So how did you find the dog? Well, after a week of searching and trawling the internet for any advice a woman in mangafai actually suggested kfc and so my father got a bucket of kfc from auckland on his way up to help me search and we set up like a feral cat cage that we were loaned from the vet. Put the KFC in the cat cage

and the next morning we woke up and there she was in the cat cage, KFC all gone. Shout out to that rural legend. Have you tried KFC? You could have been a possum in there. There we go. That's a miracle. She had a food coma like,, oh, that was so good.

Get your dad to pick me up a quarter pack too. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Martha Stewart, lifestyle person in the States, personality, right? She's amazing with all the home decor and kitchen. The original influencer, they call her. I reckon she's one of those people who have been sent to make us all feel guilty about how

we're running our lives. Like, she's the kind of person who would make soap and candles from scratch. She's been around for quite a while on television, but I didn't realise how old she actually is. She's 83. Do you know, two years ago, so when she was 81, she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in a swimsuit. She looks

amazing. She does look bloody incredible. For 83, she looks... What do I... Okay, so if you looked at me, I'd be like, you look good for what? What would you say to me? You look good for a 60-year-old?

Is that what you'd say to me? I was going to say 55. She's older than Joe Biden. Is she? Wow. Joe Biden's 82 years old. Now, she seems like onto it. She's getting...

Yeah. I'd call her late 40s. If you saw her in a police line up, incredible. Anyway, we're not here to focus on her plastic surgery. Maybe this is her secret. Now she was on the Kelly Clarkson show and she admitted to something

that she has, and I guess you get it in a way because she likes making food from scratch, but she's never had delivery. Never. Have a listen. I have never ordered in. No. Are you kidding me?

No. I, I, my daughter, my daughter will vouch for me. You have never been like, it's a Taco Bell night. We're just doing it. You have never had, never ordered in. So it's like... Oh, my God. Wowee.

So she's had takeaways. She's eaten takeaways. But just never had it delivered to the house. That is, in a society like America, one of the most obese in the civilised world. She doesn't strike me as a track pants, eating on the couch kind of person either. No, no.

But, you know, because, I of me growing up in Masterton, you might have been the same a little bit, Nelson, for a while there. You know, we didn't have anywhere that we'd deliver. Couldn't deliver to our house, you know, growing up. So when we'd go to like our cousins and stuff in the big city, we'd be like, someone's at the door, they're delivering food. You know, it was like a novelty. It's the pizza guy.

We never got anything delivered when I lived at home. Yeah, we couldn't. We didn't even have McDonald's for a time there in Nelson. Really? We stayed in Masterton. It was Palmer pizza guy. We never got anything delivered when I lived at home. Yeah, we couldn't. We didn't even have McDonald's for a time there in Nelson. Really? Yeah. We stayed at a master and it was Palmerston North we had to go to. You know, Guy William's dad opened up the first McDonald's in Nelson. Did he?

Yeah. The McDonald's empire. I remember when I grew up, KFC, there was no delivery, but then they started getting into the delivery game. And KFC, you could order KFC delivery after 4pm and it had to be over $13.50 in value

$13.50 back in the day which was an enormous amount of chicken for afternoon tea but boy I did it I did it

and I loved it so I went over to the house we want to shut this open have you never had someone deliver food

to your house and maybe it's because you live in a small area of New Zealand. Love to hear from you. Maybe we could send a delivery person there this morning. If it's possible. Jono, Ben and Megan.

The podcast. The hits. Threw it out there before. Martha Stewart, American personality, has never had delivery, never had food delivered to her. They have never ordered in. No. Are you kidding me? No. My daughter will vouch for me. You have never

been like, it's a Taco Bell night, we're just doing it. Martha! You have never had... Never ordered in. So it's like... Oh my God. Who's the guy going, Martha! Oh my God. Oh my God.

Is he just a hype guy? I want to be that guy on our show. I think he's someone that was doing this show with There's a guy going, Martha! Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Is he just a hype guy? Yeah. I want to be that guy on our show. I think he's someone that was doing the show with Martha. I think, yeah. But he's obviously quite surprised by it, right? Yeah. She did chuck it out there.

Anyone who's never had food delivered to their house, maybe we can solve that issue this morning. Good morning to you, Rose. How are you? New Plymouth. Yes, that's the one. How are you? Never had food delivered?

No, never. Never? Never. So have you got the option where you live to get it or not? Well, Bowerbrook's not that far away, but usually I just make it just easier. And have you had takeaways before, though? Oh, definitely, yeah. Yeah.

Definitely in the past. Never been at home in your trackies on, like, a Friday night and being, like, just going to call, oh, 800-8383-8383? Have thought about it, but no. Oh, do you know, this is a sad reflection of my bleak life. My pizza delivery guy knows my name. It's all when he comes. He's like, oh, are you mixing it up with some jalapeno poppers tonight?

You know, he's got a really deep relationship with that guy. Well, Rose, hey, potentially we could send you some food this morning. Yeah, hold the line. We're going to put you on the draw for Lady Gaga as well in Melbourne. VIP pass for that as well. That would be fantastic. Thank you. You know, we did an Uber Eats commercial

with Stan Walker and we got paid an Uber Eats credit. Amazing. It was great. For about a year. It was like Ben would host dinner parties and everyone would eat a different cuisine. Yeah, it was great for a little bit,

you know, because you always, I've always wanted to be that person. You'd be like, I'll get that, you know, and someone would go, what do you feel like? I'll get pizza. And someone would go, oh, I feel like Thai food. Get it, be like, I'll get that. You know, and someone would go, what do you feel like? They're like, I'll get pizza. And someone would go, oh, I feel like Thai food.

They'd be like, get it, get it, we'll get it. Oh my God. But I was like, great. That's good. It was nice to chat. Yeah, like the United Nations of buffet on his dinner table. Jamie, morning to you. You never had food delivered.

Good morning. No, never. Where are you? I see you're from Lake Karapero. Yeah, live out by the lake. I have done for a very long time since I was six with my parents. I see you're from Lake Carapero. Yeah, live out by the lake. Have done for a very long time since I was six with my parents. So you can get stuff delivered there.

I have no idea. I've never tried. Never tried? Okay. This is like in Cambridge, right? So surely there's... Yeah, south of Cambridge. Yeah. Not far.

Yeah. Okay. And even when I was living in Cambridge as well, never had anything delivered. I don't have the Uber apps. Eat, I've never even, like, caught an Uber. What about, like, pizza? Nah, no pizza.

Okay. Well, we're going to put you in the draw for Lady Gaga. And, yeah, we'll hold the line. We'll see if we can get a delivery out this morning. Yeah, because I imagine pizza might be a bit early for pizza delivery around the country. Yeah, we might be able to get like a McMuffin or something sent to you. Now, it feels like you've probably reached a point where you don't want to have anything delivered. It can be just a little chat topic for you.

Oh, see, like, I'm a nurse, and so I've thought about getting things delivered to the hospital in the middle of the night on a night shift, but I still haven't done it. Wow. Oh, my Lord. Okay, so you're heading home night on a night shift, but I still haven't done it. Wow. Oh, my Lord. That would be prime time. Are you heading home now after a night shift? No, thank goodness. I'm heading into work.

Oh, okay. So we can't deliver anything to your house now. You won't get to enjoy it. But, okay, we'll stay there. We might be able to suss you out in the coming days. We'll keep on top of this. I'll say we'll keep on top of it. I definitely won't.

That admin's a bit sloppy at the best of times. Our producer, Ali, this is on you. Let's see if we can one person make this happen. Let's follow through on one thing once for God's sake.

and then I doubted myself. Yeah, well done. Well done, Ben. Well done. Have more confidence. It's all safe over here, isn't it? Yeah, no, I was throwing all sorts of stuff in. Yeah, it was.

I was about to call. I found three religions in one there. All right, what have we got on to question number three, Ali? All right, Bjorn Borg won his last Wimbledon title against which player? Was it Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe, or Jimmy Connors? It won't be Jimmy Connors. I feel like if McEnroe and Borg had a lot of battles, a lot of great battles. Ivan Lendl was also Quite prominent In that era of tennis

Yeah I know none of these Rattle through Again sorry Sorry was it Ivan Lendl Yeah John McEnroe

Or Jimmy Connors And Bjorn Borg So maybe it was Bjorn Borg McEnroe era I do feel like They had a lot of battles But I don't

No yeah She locked that in That is correct Good on you Woo Good on you. Woo. All right. Everybody, fly off the handle, McEnroe. Yeah.

It was hot-headed. It was. He would go zero to 100 real quick. All right. Question number four. In which year did Joe Biden first run for president? Was it 1988, 2000, or 2008? It was 88.

Yeah. I feel like it might have been. That is correct, guys. Well done. Okay. Nice, I feel like it might have been. That is correct, guys. Well done. Okay. Nice. I'm just a bystander today. Jeez, Biden has been around a while.

He has, hey. His first president. He got it in 88, you know, like that was when he was probably had a bit more pep in his step. All right, question number five. What is the predominant type of forest found in Canada

covering about 60% of its land area? Megan, this is your one. Is it? Now, while she thinks about that, we will play some music. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Some more weather warnings in place today.

Northland and Auckland, further rain, possible flooding expected into Wednesday as well. So take care out there if the rain comes. Jeez, it just comes out of nowhere too. I parked the car with the window down, went into a place. By the time I came out, there was a hosing. Hosing into the driver's wheel. You've got no time now. Can't even see it coming.

Now, Megan has literally spent three and a half minutes of that Rag and Bone Man song researching every type of native tree to Canada. So the question is question number five, and it is, what is the predominant type of forest found in Canada covering about 60% of its land area? And the options are boreal, I don't know if I'm saying this right, temperate or deciduous. So I knew deciduous was the ones that their leaves go brown and they will fall down. So you're not going to have a forest full of deciduous trees.

There might be a few but I don't you know feels like every time I see a Canadian forest lush green consistently 12 months of the year

yeah you probably want one that can deal with cold temperatures and the temperate ones are like middle of the road okay so process of elimination

Ham so the B one the boreal the boreal that is correct oh well done oh wow well done, well done. Oh, wow.

Well done, Megan. Well done. That was really impressive. It came through there on that one. Well done. This is question six of the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. All right. Where was Muammar Gaddafi born in Libya?

I don't even know if I've said that. Muammar Gaddafi. Is that how you say it? Yeah. Is that how you say it? Okay. Was it Tripoli? Tripoli? Tripoli.

Or Benghazi? Or Surte? Or Surat? I that how you say it? Okay. Was it Tripoli? Tripoli? Tripoli. Or Benghazi? Or Surtee? I feel like it's Benghazi. That's what my gut's saying. My gut's saying Gaddafi was a Benghazi guy. I have no idea. We're going to go with Jono on this one. The proofs of Benghazi is what they used to call him.

That's incorrect. It was Surtee. S-I-R-T-E. I don't know how to say him. Did they? That's incorrect. It was Sirtis. S-I-R-T-E. I don't know how to say it. I'm not going to lie. I went really cold on that one. You came in really hot, I think. It's hard to know when he actually does know something

and when he doesn't. That's really hard because you're like, yeah. He doesn't go to us, look, I'm bluffing or not. He just sees it with the same confidence when he knows or not. Ben Ghazi. That one he clearly didn't know. Is it because Ben's over there?

Oh yeah. All right. Well there we go. That was the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz Day 2. Still not really firing on all cylinders yet. We got through a few with your help so we'll be back again tomorrow to see if we can get 10 out of 10 next.
