The John O'Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to HelloFresh. Your home advantage for delicious midweek dinners, everyone will love. The podcast for your little Friday. My name's Ben. Did you get that? That was a good start. Did we get that? I missed just the start of it.

Hello, welcome to the podcast on your little Friday. My name's Ben. Wow, that's exactly. I thought it was me for a second. Yeah. Let's try and do impersonations of each other before we get into the podcast. Okay. Megan, you can do, you did a.

pretty good Ben then. I don't know. I'm trying to go Megan. I'm trying to think of... Go on then. Oh, my husband's so great. Oh, I love my husband. Oh, he's so cute.

I make spaghetti from Scrant. You know, I spend my Sunday making chicken soup from the broth of the chicken. Don't be jealous. I'm not even making you chicken soup now. I grow pineapples in my bathroom. They take three years to fruit. Did you know that? It's a big commitment.

My neighbor cut my tree. But welcome to the podcast. Oh, you're welcome to podcast. Wait, who's doing? Oh, no. No, that was me. That was me. You're doing me. You can't go on me down. Yeah, go on. Oh, yeah, and then I, oh, what was I saying?

I know it was going to be something really good. Hang on, what was it? Fair play. It's like a therapy session. That's very true. Well, welcome along. We are here in the Wellington Studios, which is at the show in Wellington. A lovely studios here in Wellington.

Do you know what's nice? There's a window to the outside world. Yeah, it really makes a difference, hey. We don't get that in our other studio. It does. It's really. something quite nice about that, being able to look out. We have windows at our studios where we normally do the show,

but they just look out to office, a foyer office. You can't see natural light at all. I like looking into other people's apartments and living areas. Apparently there was, well, there's word around the office that a building we're looking at now in an apartment building. There is a naked sunbathe who probably believes that he is in the privacy. He's up high, he believes no one could probably see him. But that person didn't make their bed this morning.

that's the downside from living in an inner city apartment as people can see into your soul into your yeah you know well you wouldn't like that ben no well no not really would you be curtain shut guy if you hadn't in a city apartment you wouldn't want to be though because you wouldn't look out wouldn't you when i lived in like i used to live in like a department like that and there was another apartment building opposite and we just i just was like who cares i'd get naked and just be like if you don't want to look close your eyes like i don't care did you talk to would you talk to the people across the way? Up high?

No, that wasn't a thing. No. Yeah. But you'd see some things. I thought, we did some apartment time too, but I find the closer you live to people, the less you talk to them. Yeah. Even just keeps to themselves, don't they?

Whereas if you're on a farm, acres of farm, you'd know your neighbour really well. True. My God, that's so philosophical. Maybe it's just people want their privacy, the closer they are. Well, you probably, yeah, probably feel like you've got nowhere to escape. Whereas, you know, a farm you can go back and, you know, to have your time out. And then you can choose when to talk when you're far away.

Wow, that's deep, bra. Yeah, so deep. Started mocking each other. We've ended up here. Yeah, we ended up with something deep here in the office here in Wellington. So we'll start, actually, the podcast was something that we experienced. It was a bit of like one of those moments that will definitely stick with us all for the rest of the life, particularly you, Megan.

It was traumatic. And I do think about it almost every single day. It was a traumatic event that we were. all witnessed maybe almost a year ago and we've found out it had a really good outcome. John O'Benn and Megan The podcast

The Heds But we are back into Wellington and we were here at the end Towards the end of last year We came down as a show right And here in the Wellington studios Which we were at the end of last year And it really reminded us

Of something going through the airport, Megan Yeah, we walked past a particular part of the airport yesterday and when we landed last year We witnessed someone have a heart attack. Getting off the plane out of the gate saw someone collapse on the floor

and I initially thought that they had fallen over. But it was quite scary because they didn't get up and everyone's kind of looking around wondering what to do. And in that moment I think everyone freezes and you're like, oh well someone's doing something I don't need to. But yeah, my parents always just said to me don't, don't wait, just jump in and do anything you can.

So I jumped on the phone to 1-1-1 because it became apparent that the person was in trouble. Yeah. Oh, man, it still makes me emotional. It's almost a year later. Like, I, yeah, I was a few, like, rose back for you, so I came off the plane probably a few minutes after you guys, and you guys were right in the thick of it. There was a lot going on. It was just one of those scenes that just were etched into your memory.

You're right. You never know what to know. I just kept going to the shop going, can we get more water? And I just kept giving water bottles too. Yeah, because... The last thing he needed was a water. Yeah. Yeah.

Because he was having a cardiac arrest. Yeah. And, yeah, it's really difficult because you don't know the person, but suddenly I felt very attached and his partner was there and I was trying to comfort her. And you don't know them, but you suddenly feel very responsible for them. And I actually had to touch him and see if he was breathing. Because you go on the phone to one-one-one and they were talking through the things to do, right? Well, we were waiting for like an ambulance or turn out or other people from the airport to come and help.

Yeah. And without going into too many details, in a very bad way, in a very bad way. He did not look good. We left here. And he might remember from on the radio the next day, we spoke about it. And it was really quite, it was very emotional for you. We all sort of sat there and we thought, I don't think he's going to make it. Because you're leaving the airport and there were just ambulances, hooning, hooning towards the Wellington Airport.

yeah everything indicated to me that he wouldn't make it um and so you just leave and i was like we you know we had to leave the situation when you don't find out what happened didn't know his name didn't know anything you know you just wanted to know that he was okay and i was just i thought about him every single day and i was just like i just hope i hope that he made it and then we got a message um from the emergency services that he had made it and that he wanted to reach out to everyone who had helped. So that included me because I did the one-one-one-one call, like very little in the scheme of things. Oh, hey, you were a part of, you know, that, you know, a huge part of it.

And there was a doctor there too. There was a doctor, A, who helped and just like step away and just boom, boom, boom, straight into it. So shout out to that doctor. She's amazing. They, they, they, a lot of people worked long and hard on him and he made it and has made a full recovery. That's amazing. Wow, did you text him yesterday. I did, yeah, yeah.

I had text him yesterday, and he's just, it's lovely because he wanted to reach out to everyone to make sure that everyone knew that he was okay and to say thank you. So he told you had a less than a 2% chance of making it. Crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, life goes so fast and can just happen like that, you know, so it's lovely that. It was a good thing came out of it.

And we must pay tribute to the real hero that day. Ben Boyce who went and got up the bags. He got our bags. I bought water, like you, I'd run and got some people, and then I was like, there was took me people, yeah, you're right. And I was like, I'm going to get the bags. Did he mention that in the text? No.

To me fair, I'd forgotten. I even had a bag, so thank you. I got the bag, so you are the true hero. Thank you. There was a lot of heroes that day. Who's to say more of a hero than others? And that a hero. But I got the bag on the bags.

We had a lot of luggage that day, but I got it all over this fun. Bless you, Ben. So thank you. Thank you, guys. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. John O'Ben and Megan The podcast The Hats But yesterday you had an unusual encounter With someone who was serving you mate So I went to a VD shop And I was just trying to get a quick Abo

And I often get Abo's got a good price At the moment That suddenly would come back into Avo's being a lot better price Yeah Can I just say You were watching speaking of Instagram

Megan was watching something before the show If you want to keep your avocados for weeks Oh yeah You submerge them in water in an airtight container. So you just put them in a swimming pool in a container and they'll stay green for three weeks and you pull them out when you're ready for them to ripen.

That's a great idea. So you could have a whole bucket of aboes and they're not going to go brown all at once. Yeah. Anyway, better living everyone. It looks like a science experiment in your fridge. It does. Yeah, but hey, I'll come over and be like, oh. Try that.

Yeah. So I was just trying to buy a couple of avos. End of the day and this often happens to me at this particular place. I think everyone there is quite enthusiastic? Yeah.

So I'm having the usual banter, how's your day and everything? And that's when she pauses and starts singing. Oh, like a musical? Just like I didn't recognise the song and she wasn't singing along with the radio or anything. She just starts singing.

Is it a response to your question about how she's going? No, no. It was just there was a pause and I thought we're done with our banter and then she starts singing. And I was like, okay. Quite loud. Quite loud, but I didn't know what to do. Like, I didn't know whether she wanted to be like,

oh, you're really great. What'd you do? Or, well, I just kind of smiled. But then she sung louder. And I was like, I don't know what I was supposed to do in this scenario. We're done with the transaction and she's still singing. And I was like... She's staying around you because you don't want to be rude and leave, right?

Yeah, I was like, do I have to stay to the end of this performance? Maybe it's like pitch perfect where you're like, boom, boom, boom, pop, bum. Well, you do, you watch movies, you know, that are musicals, and all of a sudden, someone starts singing out of nowhere and there other people join in so maybe that was one of those real life situations you should have joined in set the best course of action yeah kind of just stood there for a second and I was like okay have a good day there are singy people you know

yeah yeah we've got one in the office and she's a lovely lady but every time I'm near to her she will she'll she'll try and kick off a sing along you know I'm I'm the opposite of that I can't sing I'm terrible at singing so I kind of just They're going, slow clap. Some people don't know they're singing too. You know, this case, maybe they do, but some people will just sing.

They're just happy. They're just happy, yeah. But I didn't, like, I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to, like, kind of encourage it. So they don't have to stick around. But it was so awkward.

Well, maybe we can call her, and you can tell her how awkward it was. That's exactly fair thing to do. I did have the same thing once in a lift. A lady just started singing. And it was just me and her. It was, yeah. It's so awkward, what do you do?

Yeah, she was a really good singer. And I just got out and I went, I went, thank you. Elevator music. Yeah, and I didn't know if I was tipping her or what was the thing, but I was like, thank you. Yeah. She had one of the, oh, oh, ho! Yeah, she was, yeah, we're really good. There's a generation of that breed of singer.

Oh, thank you. And then, yeah, so, yeah, hey, well, bringing some joy to your day. Maybe that was it. Yeah, we're just miserable. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast, the hits.

You want to win this double pass and you need to tell us about your sickening act that you do I'm going to stop telling you things because you were just like you guys are gross I just go to the cute

there's no way to say it's sickening okay the cute little thing the adorable cute little thing that you and your partner do well I mention this to you because this is how I also know that I'm in trouble because every time we leave

my husband's always like even if we're in an argument we have to say I love you and do a little smooch even if we're annoyed how many of those are through gritted teeth that are yeah sometimes

has there been a day where you have an exchange DNA? You and your husband? Well, when we're not together. All right. Like, yeah. But apart from that, kissing, smooching up a storm.

So you're not smooch your wives every day. There's a lot of times that you're like, the schedules are very much all over the show. Not smooch friendly. Even just a pick. Switch for any cushions. I went to smooch her once in her sleep. Yeah, that did.

She woke up as I was coming in. Yeah. All that's terrifying for anyone. Exactly. Yeah. So it's a three kisses. Three kisses on. It's three pecks.

That's good. How did we settle on three? Was it a focus group, some research? I don't know. And is it three on the lips, bang, bang, bang, or three on the cheek? Three on the lips. And then if I'm in trouble, I'd just get one. Oh, okay.

He holds out on the other. The more adorable thing. There lots of people do that. My parents still do that. And a lot of time, they can't stand each other. But like, they still, when they leave the house, they still do a smote. Do you want to know, I was trying to think about the adorable thing that I, that I enjoy, you know, like from Amanda, you know.

When she does a to-do list? Yeah, but you know what it is? Do you know what I feel like it's cute and adorable? Like I'll be like watching the Warriors and she'll go and then she'll come back in her warrior's top or hoodie and I'm like, oh. And I was thinking for me. She's dressed like me. She's put her warriors and I was like for me.

I'm like that's. Oh, she's dressed like her boys. Yeah. If I shut my eyes, she's like she could be Sean Johnson. I could be. And I'm without a word of a lie, I'm like, that's pretty cute actually. Like a warrior's hoodie or a warrior's top of my wife to get me, to get me going. Not get me going, actually, because the game's on, so we need to focus on the game.

But I'm like, Jesus, I'm like, that's a cute little thing that I like. So, yeah, I'm always in it. Throughout your entire marriage, we've never been away for work. You know, it comes home with a present, but it's always sports memorabilia for you. She's got Lakers, a single. She's got 49ers T-shirts. A lot of it, I feel like that I bought that I would like, but anyway, yeah. She's like, I don't want to dress, like a teenage boy thing.

Well, she does work for time to time, but I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Do you have one, Joddo? With a sickening, like, cute thing that you do. You ever think about it. You ever think about that. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast.

The Hits. See that footage, we should put it up, please. I know you've got a lot going on, Producer Grace, today, but if we can get the footage of Jelly Roll at the WWE, was at the WrestleMania, he was being body slammed. So Jelly Roll's, like, tied up, and he's on a trestle table. And Logan Paul, who's an amazing wrestler.

And also, yeah, the social media superstar, but yeah, he's great wrestler. He jumps off the top ropes, boom, lands on the top of jelly roll. I was like, I'm a singer, mate. I don't know why. I'm just trying to promote my album. But anyway. Is he all right? I don't know.

It looked like it was a lot. Yeah, I know there's a bit of smoke and mirrors of that, but it looked quite a lot. He was coming from a height. Yeah. He was jumping up from like three or four meters. We'll put it on our story on the hits breakfast before 9 o'clock. But right now, what's the cute thing that you and your partner do? Some people call it sickening.

other people go, oh, that's adorable, you know. You asked what mine was, I was thinking during the ad, I'm quite gropey. Okay, okay. Like I can't walk past her. With your wife. Yeah, okay. You might want to carry on with that sentence when you do it.

We've got to double bars to symphony to give away to our favorite call. We've got a lot of calls coming through, so it's going to be hard to decide. So let's get to it. Okay, I 800 of the hits the telephone number. Should we kick things off with Tanya? Welcome. How are you? Did you mean Tanya?

Sorry, I just heard that. Yeah, I didn't mean Tanya. Oh, okay. We call you whatever you want to go by. Tanya, what's the cute thing you and your partner do? Thank you. Well, we've been married. Sorry, what was your name again?

Tanya. Sorry, did you hear that? Just Tanya, come on, you know. Are you being smart? Yeah, yeah, see, yeah. Ignore him, Tanya. What's the cute thing you and your partner do? Well, when you've been married for 21 years, your wife probably won't want to know you either.

but we used to be really, really, really lovely and affectionate everywhere. People would get really sick of us. But, you know, we don't do so much anymore, but we did. I can say this because he doesn't listen to the hit, so it's a little bit embarrassing. But he used to do this thing, Rudy Bum dance, so like he'd get out of the shower and he'd be nude. It sounds weird, sorry. And then he'd, like, shake his bum around him. It was real cute.

I get out, yeah, shaking the tush, yeah, around a little bit, you know? But a guy's bum is never like, it's not the prime bum, is it? Well, it is. Oh, hey, yes. I'm pretty friends out. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I don't know if I'll have to see your bum, but some guys have cute bums. Mine looks like two soggy bayobuns. Hey, that's very cute. Hold the line there. We'll see if you've done enough for those symphony tickets. Let's get to the next school. We have Tiana on the show.

Welcome, Tiana. How are you? I'm good. Thank you. How are you guys? We're doing well. The sickeningly cute thing. you do in your relationship well it's been happening ever since we started dating like 12 years

ago uh we like to match clothes so when we go on holiday we'll buy matching t-shirts if we see a cool pair of shoes like we got Pokemon crocs and we've got matchable for crocs and are you married to ben or are you open to a third person joining your relationship just and not in like you know weird stuff just like turning up the same clothes and stuff I'm into that. You're dressed like a team. It gets a little bit awkward when we accidentally wear the same outfit when we leave the house. And we're like, oh, oh, okay.

Cool. I guess we're rocking this today. You could get them all matching Warriors' kiss and you can be dressed like Warriors' players. We can do that. It's a dream come true. Good on you, Tiana. Appreciate that. You hold there and we'll take one more, shall we?

Jenny, good morning. Good morning. What are you doing? The sickening... Yeah, we're doing well, mate. The sickeningly cute thing you do? We do read aloud to each other, like chapter by chapter of a book. So we get into bed.

Oh, my God, that's so cute. Yeah, it's kind of... It's really nice. And kind of weird, and I feel we... But read to each other. That's really wholesome. That's actually lovely, isn't it? Yeah.

Out of all the things that have come through today, it's probably the most wholesome. It is lovely. How come you say that? nice when she'd like her one but you say mine's sickening because I've been told to be more empathetic on the radio Jenny are you wearing matching Warriors hoodies while you're doing it or just

just the books? No just the books. Okay well let's I'll leave that with you you could oh okay right okay we need to choose who should get these tickets to you know what I reckon Tiana and Jenny they're still winning because they're still doing

sickeningly cute things the lover's gone from Tarnia's Are you just feeling bad for the name mess-up? Yeah. Partially. And Tanya, you're going to win the tickets to Symphony, so then when you get home, you can see a bum dance all night long. You can shake your tush at symphony. And it's my birthday.

No, thank you. Oh, nice. Hey, next, Jono. Oh, Tonya was still talking. That's all right. We need to move on. It's been ages. Johno, Ben and Megan.

The podcast. The hits. Cute little things. People are meeting these things. It's great. This one was really cute. It came through on the text that says me and my boyfriend play hide and seek. So whoever is home first from work hides,

and then whoever comes home after has to find them. That's cute. But there's like four hours difference between when me and my husband come home. So I fall asleep in the wardrobe. And you get very creative with the hiding spaces too because it's the same location day after that. Where are you? I'm in the chimney.

Stuck. Listen, my son, obsessed with basketball. I've mentioned it a couple of times. And so we go to, sometimes go to the school and just him and me practice at the gym. My main role in this interaction is ball retriever. Okay, yeah, right. He's like, don't worry, it's important.

I'm like, it doesn't feel important. When you feel like your role could be replaced by a shooting machine, he don't feel important to the process. But now he's started trying to get into the game zone. So he's like, what I need you to do when I'm shooting is I need you to sledge me. so just like get in the sort of trying and get inside his head

and it's hard when you're giving you know full consent uh what point do you and I figured out I'm terrible at sledging so I started going with like a reverse psychology approach

and I was like you're brilliant mate you're gonna get it in dad's so proud of you and he's like can you stop that you should just go your dad's a loser

oh here he's terrible his job start sledging yourself he's like, are you okay? And I start crying under him. Just to really throw him off. I don't know what his plan is over the next five years. I don't think he could pay a mortgage. He's like...

He's like calling your mum. Should we go home now? But then it got to the point where I did, I did overstep it. Because I'd seen something on movie. I couldn't remember if I seen it on a movie or Instagram video. So he goes to shoot the ball and I was like, I slept with your mum. Oh, that's... And that throws them.

That air ball Yeah, that demo does. John O'Benn and Megan The podcast, The Hits. A piece of Wellington and plates. Such a great event all around the city of Wellington. All culinary experts, you know, create amazing dishes and they're having like a burger competition running at the same time.

200 special burgers are made throughout Wellington and some people try and get through them all in the, is it two weeks? Yeah, it's a lot of burgers over two weeks. But incredible, we had one last one last night. A Hawaiian themed sort of burger, yeah, it was bloody delicious. It had like a mac and cheese patty in it, didn't it? Yeah, it was exceptional. It was great.

It was great. My only complaint was, I could have done with five more. It was so good. But we witnessed something last night. We're just doing filler in between the Alfaquiz rounds. And we're like, who's got a party trick? Now, normally in this situation, New Zealanders are quite, you know, backward and coming forwards. You know?

Yeah. They're like, oh, I don't know. But someone said, yeah, put their hand up that I compel a banana with my feet. And we're like, what? You can actually do this. and we didn't have a banana in the bar, so someone had to run down the road and get a banana. They came back, thank you to the Hits team for coming over a couple.

We got a banana. I'd given up on the drink. And then so he sat on top of the bar, barefoot. The crowd gathered around, cell phones, you know, hundreds of cell phones. There are over 150 people there. Yeah. Everyone wanted to capture this historic moment.

And this is what happened. Let's go, Duncan. There are guys. Tuck it Tudkid Tudkid Tarkin, Tuck it And then I was like, in my head

And then I was like Someone's going to have to eat this banana You know for comedic out And then his friend stepped up straight away up because Brendan said he was like if you do that I'll eat it so I was like where's Brendan follow through my friend they were from Levin

is there a lot to do in Levin or no it's got like mastered him where I'm from you know it's not you make your own fun and that's like that yeah we've got it on the hits break for social media should go and have a lot very impressive break back New Zealand's got talent that show for that reason you know

and that's what you want to see it means a little traumatised by Yeah, it was the most disgusting thing I've seen. I love it. I mean, just having bare feet in a bar and then putting the feet up on the table, it's just like, oh. It was for the pit. He's his fingers, man.

I just love the process of how he got there. Like, where the backstory. Oh, that's why I want to know. What led him to that moment? And his girlfriend was watching on. She's just like, yeah. Probably Levin. That's what led him to that moment.

John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast. The hits. You need to tell us about something that was too late to apologize today. We're taking things back. Family. And particularly around maybe you're having some sneaky parties back in the day. Families one section of society that you don't really have to apologize to.

They're kind of stuff with you. Not necessarily for every family. Yeah. There's a lot of families that don't talk to each other. Yeah, you're right. We're not all happy families. You've got something you need to apologize after 20 years. Well, yeah, my mom and dad went away to watch some very niche jazz.

musician that mum probably enjoyed somewhere in the Hawks Bay, I imagine, and I had friends over. And one of them spilled something on the carpet. And I was like, what do I do here? I don't, all I could see was the bleach. And so in my 16, 17-year-old head, I'm like, okay, well, bleach from what I gather, very clean, very clean product. poured that all over the carpet to try and get rid of the, get rid of everything. Not a good co-lab.

Oh, really? No. Terrible. What colour is the carpet? Well, the carpet was dark. Oh, God. Oh, the bleach on that. Yeah, right.

There was no coming back for that. No. Two shocking bleach-based incidents. Because then I remember I nearly poisoned poor Annie Pryor my mother with bleach too. Yeah. I used to smoke cigarettes and my fingers, this is the sexy part of smoking, would turn yellow with nicotine. And so then what I figured was it was I dipped my two fingers in a glass. and clean them with bleach, you know

Okay. Did that work? Yeah, we were to treat. Oh, right. Took off a lot of layers of skin. Yeah. And my two figures, they smelled like, you know, a hospital water after a vomiting outbreak. But then I left the glass on the bench.

And mum came along to the kitchen and just drank it. And all I can hear was, my gosh. That's gone on her a little bit too. I mean, on you for leaving it there, but on her for just drinking. Who drinks a random glass that's just sitting there? This is what I'm trying to tell her.

She's going, who drinks it? She's like, not the time. thought this is you out. So it was too late to apologize. Yeah, similar sort of thing, you know, like friends over when my parents were away. We played Indel Cricket in the lounge. In the house. In the house.

Full bat, two situation, ball and stuff. And my friend, D. Endel, wonderful off drive. He hit the ball beautifully, but the bat went into the roof as well. Big mark across the roof. Nothing I could do. I was just like, let's just ignore that. And it was about six months later. Mom was like, have you ever noticed that?

And I was like, no, I've never noticed. It's that before. Yeah, so sorry, mum. Is this the first time she's heard this story? Well, I mean, she still hasn't heard this story. Anyway, no longer live in this house. Why did you take the cricket insight? I don't know.

Yeah, true. We probably shouldn't it, but hey, it's what you did. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast. The heads. Good morning in Wellington. We're here for Visa Wellington on the plate. The sun starts to come across here.

Jesus, it must be a great day. It must be that one good day. We can't meet Wellington on a good day. Today's the good day, Megan. Is it? And we're also looking at a building painted like a zebra as well. That's cool. Yeah, looks like that would have been a nightmare to paint.

It's a really tall building. I appreciate that commitment. There we go. That's our Wellington coverage. Now, one Republic coming back to New Zealand in February next year. And if you want to see them a double pass, it's too late to apologise. and today we're looking back to something that may have happened

Megan? Lots but I legit probably don't want to know. It's a story you taught us off the year that it's not safe for radio and I can see why I can see why it involved Paul Holmes and vomiting

but that's all right no more further questions We'll leave that with the people All right, people He had nothing to do really with Paul, I'm sorry That's having a lot more scandal. Yeah, well, in a way, he was on the telly But yeah, he knew nothing of it

Hey, we're going to get Matt on the phone. Welcome, Matt Morena. Hey, good morning, good morning. Good to have you on, good to have you on. It's too late to apologize for what to your family, Matt? Well, I was the top bunk when I was 10 or 11 and told a little white lie to my brother Alex that the cat had an accident on the top bunk

and created a bit of a waterfall of urine. Now, this is a very small cat and a very big puddle, and so I'm guessing it's not an unexpected, but probably an unsaid apology. Sweet on your brother from the top bunk. Well, yeah, I guess so. Did you do it on? purpose or were you just quitting the bed?

Yeah, fast at the place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was a leaving, not a, not a tenor. That cat, that cat, oh, that cat, definitely. All bladder, all bladder. You're in a vulnerable position in lower bunk, can't you? Yeah. Yeah.

It's too late to apologize to your family for what? Um, oh, my dad, he just, um, fixed up his career. you he just bought and done it all up and painted it

and parked it outside the shed all happy and then I backed out of his shed and hit it with my truck oh no and did you apologise in the moment what did you pretend it was someone else? I was like I apologise but I was pretty pissed off hey

John O'Benn and Megan The podcast The Hats Can't do peaches It's the furrier, the fuzziness Even in a can from a can? Oh yeah, I can do them in a can. Yeah, I can do peaches from a can.

Yeah, no, I can do peaches from a can from a factory. But what if you whet the skin? Still too fuzzy. Haven't thought about the soggy peck skin. Even now, there's parts of me that are... Why are you touching your nipples? I'm sorry, sorry. I've got goosebumps and very... I'm alert, right now.

Even just thinking about it. You got hard nips thinking about the fuzzy peaches. Great. I feel like canned peaches are probably the most popular version of peaches, so you're probably fine. No, I prefer a fresh peaches. I prefer a fresh peaches. I don't. But worldwide, you're probably more people eating from Canes.

She's probably got an orchard of peaches or something in her. Now, we are in Wellington at the moment, and one of the things we did yesterday were driving through, it's a very traditional Wellington thing to do, right, is go through the Mount Victoria Tunnel. I thought, yeah, and I thought what we did was, like, frowned upon. Oh, it might be. I don't know.

I mean, these days everything's, it's PC madness meeting. Well, they're claiming a gene commercials is Nazi propaganda nowadays. She doesn't know who knows what you can do. But there was our driver, our driver. We hopped in J.B.'s Uber. We don't have a driver. Megan demanded one of the contract, but we didn't get a driver. But J.B., he played our game, didn't he?

Have a listen. We're with our boy, J.B., in the Uber and Wellington. We're in the Victoria Tunnel. Now, something Ben is a bit tentative about doing. I used to be a big fan of tuning in the tunnel because you see if someone else toots back. Good radio shipping in that, a weekend group toot thing. But anyway, we'll talk about that later, Megan.

Yeah. Is this something that you are supposed to do in Wellington or is it frowned upon? Yeah. People love it. Well, we're saying the pedestrians. Very noisy for the pedestrians. But we're not pedestrians. Yes, don't worry about that, right?

Hey! Nice, J.B. Let's see what we get back. Yeah. Gosh, that is fun, isn't it? So here we go. Yeah, J.B., Megan's personal driver. have a busy day driving all the way back to Auckland today.

So he might have to get cracking if he's going to be there by the time you land, Megan. But hey.
