Welcome to the podcast, a bit different today because during the show, one of us, we'll be saying a week one of us is going missing. One of us is the rogue and if you can track down where they are and text through the exact location of where they end up, you can win $5,000. Megan, in the middle of the show, you exited and you are the rogue. You join us now from the airport. Hello, yeah, I'm flying somewhere domestically is all we know at this current point. Well, I know where I'm going, but you don't.

um today i wore my god as a woman t-shirt because i thought that would you know give a wee hint the rogue as a woman i'm god on the show oh mate you're really yeah that's that's that's it feels like you feel like a taylor swift fan picking over things and you said that about the thing and that means such and you're like that's the level you have to go to if you want to win five and hello and where the message was placed it was on your chest so we weren't gonna we couldn't really yeah so i figured where can i put it where you'll see it Well, well, you know Ben will be looking every morning. So you haven't left yet, as of yet.

This is 903 a.m. Is it too much to ask flight duration? You can say it's too much if it is. No, I just don't know. Oh, you don't actually know the flight duration? Do you know? I don't think I've ever taken this flight before. Oh, okay.

Okay. Oh, that's drawing me a little. but I had a theory in my head where I thought you were going but now that maybe it's thrown me so yeah I've, I think I can pretty safely say I've never taken this flight route before Okay Alright Megan, you're confused me

There's a really Sorry, that would have been a good clue to do on the radio But I didn't realize until this moment That's why I have no idea how long the flight is That's good Someone's text in saying Is Megan on Air New Zealand Auckland, NZ 531, Auckland to Christchurch

Leaving Auckland 1030am arriving at 1155am A.m. God, people are good at me. They are good. However, I've flown from Auckland to Christchurch before, haven't I? So it's not that? But could Christchurch meet my final destination? Well, that's the thing.

The place you're landing may not be the place you're going to end up, right? Exactly. Okay, well, more clues throughout the morning on social media, and we'll be with us tomorrow from your mystery location. I will, yep. Oh, what's she saying? Napier. Napier.

Is she heading to Napier? We'll find out. I have to go. Okay. We've got to go. Here's the podcast. Funny side up. John O'Ben and Megan.

Welcome along to the show. Speaking of the Christmas spirit, we thought we'd do a bit of a secret, team secret Santa, right? Producer Grace added another thing to everyone's busy schedules. Whoa. You love this. Another thing to tick on my to-do list.

And it's always a great way to sort of passively bully. your colleagues and workmates, isn't it, through the gesture of gift giving. Yeah. So all of us have purchased a gift. However, Troy, the secret nature, or the format of Secret Sandra, has kind of really been whittled down because, Grace, you gave your present to Troy yesterday. Was that the whole present? No, no, there's still part two here. Okay, so we can eliminate the fact that Grace is the one buying presents for Troy now.

Yeah. So the numbers are dwindled, so the secret part of it becoming less and less so. And I need to give an explanation with my present. Okay, so we just hand them all out and we'll open them at the same time rather than going one by one. It's got to be a tedious task for it. Be run this thing right now.

Yeah, true. What did it, John, you know, and then we can say what we got once we open them up. That's a good idea, Ben. Yeah, yeah. I get some pace into this thing, okay. So I've got a big box. Mine's in a mecca bag,

and I'm just thinking it's probably not going to be a meca. I've got like, well, looks like A4 paper is folded in half with a little bit of a paper clip on it. While you're all opening, I might explain my present. To who? To Be. Oh, okay. This piece of paper he's holding.

So we all know Ben loves his hand sanitizer and his chewing gum, but I thought that's, it's played out. I can't get him chewing gum and hand sanitiser. So what I've done, you can open the paper now, is I, in your name, found a charity that gives hand sanitizer and medical chewing gum to African kids. Oh, my God. And I donated $20 New Zealand to that charity.

charity in your name. Look at those smiling African children he's put there. Medical chewing gum. Medical chewing gum and hands in their teeth. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, well, there you go. Did you get them the bloody cherry blossom handset or not? I hope we have.

That's your trademark flavour. But they'll be thanking Ben Boys today. What's got a kid on the front of his mouth? He's got hands in his mouth. He must have hand sanitised as well too. Those are the smiling faces of freshly sanitised kids. I didn't even know that was an option as well. It's called Convey of Hope. Convey of Hope.

This is a charity but I can see on this piece of paper so thank you Oh my god I love this What is that Megan Pappas It's not Mecca I was very excited for a moment

But it's better What I got Liam Lawson's socks I love Liam It's got his face and nuts Oh my God My husband's not gonna love these Oh but Daddy I love him

So Megan's got Liam awesome socks I love that How good Megan I'm picking this from you Just only because the rapping was so immaculous. I've got a giant bottle of cupey mayonnaise, thank you so much. No, it's a huge bottle.

And some touch-up restore grays from Clarial root touch-up. It's like, it's colour spray. Can I spray this in my head? You can't. Is this dark blonde? Instant, is this instant hair? Yeah. Oh, God, shut up.

It doesn't quite, okay. How's that looking guys? Well, a little messy. Natural, natural? It actually would look natural if we, if you did it. Wait, let's do it properly. Do it properly. Oh, no.

We'll put it on socials. Okay. New Year's resolution right here, baby. I know that this is from Ben. I figured it out. So thank you so much, Ben. Oh, it's not for me. Ben would have got the team who stops.

Yeah. Yeah, you got me right. I got the socks. Well, it must be reprocessing of elimination. Me, you gave me a present. You gave Troy a present. Troy gave Ben a present. Who does it leave?

I'm still going to work it out. Anyway, wait to get. John-O. Oh, thanks, Chana. That's okay, mate. He got me 20 European dollars for my Hoggill trip, which I'm really excited about because I need cash for the toilets, I'm pretty sure. I went to the currency exchange.

I know because you talked about it this week. You're going to be. It's so expensive. Oh, don't wait. The New Zealand dollar is nothing. Why do you keep saying that? You just got to do it, Grace. Don't think they.

Don't overthink it. Come back, Paul, pay for them for next 10 years. That's right. You got to do it. You know, what's the other options? Staying here and not having an amazing experience. Exactly. I don't convert anything.

And very quickly, Grace got me a Nerf gun. Well, my thoughts are Troy always says I talk too much. So the rest of this year, you can shoot me with that for a talk about time. Funny side up. John O'Ben and Megan on the hits. I make a retractment too. It just popped into my head the other morning.

I was boomer complaining. News Talk ZB complaining about road cones that were on our road. And then they had towed cars, not my car, but other neighbours' cars, obviously in preparation for road. works, that never happened. And they just came and removed the car. Yeah. So last night, I'm coming home from the bloody supermarket.

Right. The cones are back out. The cows are all cars there. The tow truck's there. And they're loading a car on the thing. And I pulled over and I'm like, I'm going to be a man car in here. Good. And I said, hey, listen, this isn't for me because I didn't care.

My car didn't get towed. But just so you know, and I know it's not your problem. You're just doing your job. You took cars the other day. And they didn't even do the bloody roadworks. He's like, I know, I know. and then he said just the tow truck driver said just so you know we don't take them back to the depot

we just tow them 300 metres away and put them on the main road oh that's good so they're not and he's like but then do they tell them well I guess I don't know how the cops yeah the people freaking out like my car's been stolen no then they call the tow company and they're like not here mate yeah but always the car gone well hopefully the comms are sorted on that front

but they don't have to pay to get their car back they've got their keys obviously this has got to walk a few hundred metres to get their car So my sincere apologies through the accusations I threw out Now we go live to Nicole Who hosts a radio show in New York She joins us every week

Yeah you're looking at She's on Zoom right now Looking a little frazzled Nicole Um yes All of all the things There is not one thing that's going great For me today It's just one of those things

I just It's all right Is it a stressful time of year Over there leading in Christmas You got the double thing The double you know Last week you talked about Hanukkah and Christmas

And your Hanukkah Bush Yeah We got my Hanuker Bush We've got yeah All the Christmas stuff, all the family stuff. But I'm okay. Should not be complaining. Is the Hanukkah Bush up?

No, no, that we don't actually do that. I don't think my Irish Catholic husband would allow that. He's all about the Christmas tree and she's a butte this year. Do you go real or fake? Real or fake on the old Christmas tree friend? It was a big deal in my household this year. We've gone real every single year and then we were like we can't do it this year. Like it gets so dry in the New York City apartments and they're so small.

It's like the needles fall off in like half a second and you've got no tree. So we went fake. Our kids had a full. meltdown. But I think she's a beauty and it's definitely going to save us a lot of time cleaning it up at the end of the season. What happens to that? I imagine, because New York, millions and

millions of people, like, footpaths must just be littered with Christmas trees on the 27th, 28. Unbelievable. People literally just like throw them out their windows. And you know, they really, because we're in New York City and nobody wants to, like, no one wants to, you know, deal with, like, leaving the city and going to

like a Home Depot or something or like a Christmas street farm. So they're all along the streets. These vendors and they charge us like $2,300 for a freaking Christmas tree just for convenience. So we're done, we're done. Fair enough. Who cleans it up? The city? Yeah, it's bad. And then getting them, dragging them out of the

apartments, all the hallways in our apartment building is a mess. Of course. Go fake. Go fake. What about the big? Yes, big all the way. The big tree. That's like 500 New Zealand dollars that you guys are paying for a Christmas tree. Wow. You're going to throw out in about seven days.

Correct. Correct. The big tree is a big tree up, Rockefeller Center, obviously the iconic tree. It's just why by you where you work, right? Yes, I drive by it every morning on my way to work. It's just really, it's quite, it never gets old. Like, every year I still, like, drive by or I still, like, walk by it. And I'm just like, that thing is just amazing.

It's, like, magical. It really, it doesn't look real. It looks completely fake. We'll put one up on the hits breakfast, a picture of it, because it has to be trucked in, doesn't it close the streets to, yeah. Yeah. We were actually driving down the highway. It happened to be driving by the tree.

that was getting transported, and it was getting transported from wherever they had chosen at whatever person's property, and we saw it, and it was really, really amazing. How many stories high do you think that tree is? I would give it 25, maybe. I'm probably... I actually didn't know it was real.

That's crazy. Yeah. Does the Rockefeller send to chuck that one out the window, leave it on the footpath? I don't think that's how that one gets disposed of, but yeah, that one is, yeah. And it's a real honor because they go and they scout them on people's properties and then like they don't pay the people but they get their permission

and then it's like you can say that you had a Rockefeller you know Christmas tree is very cool yeah I saw you had one of the Jonas brothers in the studio uh was that recently was Kevin yeah oh yes yeah they I mean it's funny because we probably have oh that was not the one I watched the movie I really really enjoyed it I really really enjoyed the Jonas Christmas movie yeah well Ferrell's got a great cameo in it KJ Arpa from New Zealand's in it um yeah it was great It's so funny because I've been like begging my kids to watch it and my 11 year old is like telling me I'm like cringe because I want to watch it. I was like, I think it's going to be cute. Shut up.

New Zealand gives a couple of shoutouts. Yeah, they talk about a Kiwi Christmas and then yeah, it's how it was great. Any time they mention New Zealand in a movie, they've won us over. Five star review. Yeah. Loved it. What do they like the Jonas Brothers? They seem delightful.

They're absolutely amazing. They don't like they will notice us on the street. Like we've run into them in the wild and they are like they don't forget. They're very, very sweet. We've had them all together a bunch of times. We've had them separately. And, yeah, they are just, they are sweet as sugar. They're very witty.

They're very fun and funny. And they'll play along with anything. They're just great. I've got a thing for Nick. Is he great? I mean, he is pretty great. But he's like a little dark and brooding for me. Joe, Joe, yeah.

I think Joe's the one for me. Although Kevin sings in this movie, which I thought was quite emotional. He gets to sing. So that was nice. Have you ever met bonus, Jonas? Frankie. We have not ever met him And apparently he very much dislikes being called

Bonus Jonas Oh, okay, sorry, don't there be Sorry, please don't tell Frankie I call him a bonus Jonas Oh, I will not let him know Your Secret Safe with me But you know, could you imagine though Like being the little brother

Like the forgotten brother? Like imagine like your three older brothers Are this like super like this super boy group Hot and like everybody's obsessed with them And then there's just you Yeah He's in the movie He's in the movie at the end there, but he doesn't get too much about it.

He's the bonus. He's the bonus feature. He's the bonus. Yeah, yeah. It's also like when Prince Harry was, wasn't he the Spear? They just called him The Spear and you're like, that's my name in the family, the Spear? Yeah. John O'Ben and Megan on the hits.

Australia as of yesterday have banned social media for under 16s, no TikTok, no Instagram, no Snapchat. And I guess the world and in New Zealand are watching to see how it plays out. No, it's a very complex issue. I don't think we're going to solve it here. No, well, we've got eight minutes to solve it. We might be able to knock it on the head, mate. You're right. We want to actually know, because I think for the most part,

generally speaking, parents and adults think probably would all agree that somewhere along the line needs to be done with restrictions. Absolutely. I guess the interesting point of view might be anyone under the age of 16, do you think it's a good idea to have a ban on it? Yeah, well, yeah. I feel like, you know, like in Australia, it feels like it was a little rushed through and then maybe they hadn't spoken to young people about it and working and you know we

think we all agree that something needs to be done the pros and cons but it feels like maybe with better education better protocols there was a way maybe navigating it through for people through high school could have been an option to look at prime minister elbow he's got the solution mate above all make the most of the school holidays coming up rather than spending it scrolling on your phone start a new sport learn a new instrument or read that book that's been sitting there on your shelf for sometime and importantly spend quality time with your friends and your family

why does he sound like my drunk uncle after six beers at Christmas time you should just be doing more readings I would argue that a lot of kids are doing that as well as connecting with social media and the social media is the thing so how do you navigate that is a bit complex I think I agree that something has to be done

but I also think the horse has bolted a long time ago and instead of punishing the ones that are using it there should be more education and we should be holding those social media companies to a higher account. Oh, absolutely. It should be more legislation and they should have the responsibility, the duty of care, to be looking after our young people, which they're not doing.

And we all know they're not doing it. You had a good point. You're like, turn off the comments, turn off the likes. That would solve a lot of issues. Is that something that could be happening? I mean, we all know there's a lot of bad things around social media, but there are some good things as well. And I worry about, you know, like people, I haven't grown up in a small town like Marston.

You know, your world at that stage was just Marston. but there are people that connect with people whether they're, you know, that they could be gay, they could have different hobbies and stuff, people could connect outside of their community. Your community feels very small if you're in a minority. And I know, that's one part of it as well, and there's some bad things as well.

And also creativity is another big thing as well. Billy Eilish, that's how she put her music to the world at 13. She wouldn't be able to do that in Australia. And I guess, like, for us in the media industry, the media industry professionally is very small now in New Zealand, but there is a chance for people to be content creators, to make their own videos and do that kind of creative art. It's a very complex issue.

Yeah, then there is the bullying and the body image and the other things as well. Yes. Perverts riddled all through the day. And then that's the bad thing as well. So it is complex. They haven't banned Roblox in Australia, which is interesting. That's bloody the pervert haven. But anyway, Lily's phoned through early on this.

How old are you, Lily? Lily Ann? I'm a lizard. Okay, so where are you set on this? Do you have social media? Not that much. YouTube and like WhatsApp, not that much. I'm kind of restricted with that. Okay, yeah, well YouTube is you can't have an account in Australia, right?

And I think WhatsApp's still okay, but it's still, you know, it's going to be interesting to see what happens. Do you think the under 16, the age limit is a good idea or bad idea? I think they could like still have like a little bit of that, but they could have like an age verification. Like, you know, they do like a face ID and then they show you with stuff that will be relevant to your age. It's not a bad plan. Geez, get the kids to sort of the issue. I don't know, this is why. Have anyone who talked to the kids?

Well, Leon, you're smart. Through the whole process as well. That's good. I tell you what, I need to do a big reset on my algorithm, mate. Geez, the stuff I'm getting fed. Not safe, not safe for me. And should get rid of people over 70 on social media as well. They should.

Is that a band that should be happening? Oh, under that. It's 4487. Yeah. Is it, yeah. Is it kids listening right now? Is it a good idea? Should it be from 13 onwards?

Should it be 16? Yeah, because then when you start high school, because at the moment you're splitting the high school kids in half, so some of them get it, some of them don't. That's going to cause issues. Okay, yeah, under the age of 16, what do you think on this? I'll read that book that's been sitting there on your shelf for some time. Sounds like me, I'll come home for the Christmas party,

trying to sound like nothing happens. It sounds a little out of touch as that as well. I think none of us are experts here, and there's very complex issues we keep saying, but I feel like there's got to be better education, there's got to be better things, protocols for the social media companies, and it feels like it's quite rushed as well, you know,

so it would be good to take time to talk to kids, to talk to experts and see if maybe is 16 the right age, we've been talking about whether it should be high school age. I mean, those things, you know, I think we'll agree something needs to be done, but maybe 16 might be... I still think that, like, hammered down on the actual social media companies. Yeah, I know, but New Zealand doesn't have much sway.

No, but if it was... Oh, New Zealand's angry at us. Yeah. Like, why can't we put tighter legislation on them in a duty of care? And if this was done worldwide, then that would be, yeah, something you're right. I mean, the world's got a bit more sway than we do. You're right. And so we figure, you know, most adults, I guess, would one way or another think something needs to be done.

Some sort of systems and measures need to be put in place. But the under 16s, where are they sitting on this? Will, how old are you, buddy? Hi, I'm 13. Hey, well, thanks to joining us this morning. Are you on social media at the moment? No. Okay, so you're not, okay?

Was this a choice of yours or your parents? Both. Okay. And so how do you stay connected with your friends, obviously, face-to-face as well? But do you have any sort of online or sort of cell phone correspondence? Not really. Okay. Do you have a phone? Yes, a flip phone. Oh, you've got the old-school flip-phone.

Yeah, baby. Do you think it hinders you in any way? What do you mean by that? Sorry, do you think it makes life hard for you? Like, do you think you're missing out on anything? No, not really Oh that's good For you

Yeah, that's awesome Look I mean we all coped Without it Yeah, you're right We all managed We all managed to socialise Without it And contact our friends

What do you think About the 16 year age limit there Will you think Good idea Good idea Oh wow this is weird I can hear myself On the radio

Yeah It's weird When you listen back to yourself On the radio Yeah We forget we're on the radio Sometimes too And we should probably

remind ourselves. Do you get heat from anyone else? Does anyone give you grief for not having social media? Um, no, not that I can remember. What's the vibe at your school? Are most of the kids on it, off it? Um, mostly on it. Yeah, okay. I'm glad that no one's giving you grief for it then. Good on you, Earl. I like that. And what age would you see yourself getting on social media, if at all? Um, if at all, maybe. No, probably not. Okay, you're not going to. It's not at all.

Honestly, don't do it. Oh, yeah, it sucks. Oh, no, yeah, you're going to fold some clothes in a room. Next thing, you're looking at a cat dancing on a ceiling fan and a dragon blowing out a unicorn. And going, what am I doing with my life? I appreciate your call, Will. Thanks so much for calling.

You keep the text coming through on this one. Jono Ben and Megan on the hit. Johno Ben and Megan, although we are down one Ben voice, which is why I had to come and talk. Now, if you're just showing the show, we'll bring you up to speed, okay? We do a thing called The Rogue every now and then where one of us will mysteriously disappear. No one, genuinely, no one else knows who that person is. We're called into a meeting room and each told separately what our roles are going to be.

And the whole week, I've been putting the acid on Megan. I honestly thought it was going to be you. I thought it was you because you were, like, rabbiting on. I thought you were talking so much because you're trying to. cover it up. This is all thanks to Invisible Ink Mineral Sunscreen and if you locate the rogue

his laptop. So it's not you. Well, I'm not currently the rogue. I haven't gone rogue right now currently. So maybe before 9 o'clock I will, but... Are you the... What is happening here? Is it you, Jono? It's totally used. I swear on my car pillow that I love.

Like grin on your face. Yeah, I just enjoying this. I love it. We're all very confused, but at some stage, someone will go rogue and not just be like hanging out weirdly by the bathrooms. So everyone's like, what's he doing? It might be. What's going on?

Maybe there's been. He's been very quiet this week, actually, when you think about it. It's not me, guys. Not me, not me. As of now, I guess it's not me, but you need to stick around because you could win $5,000. Thanks to invisible zinc mineral sunscreen, you know, one of us will go invisible and you could win that $5,000.

Yeah, oh, this was just getting inside my head, yeah, as well. Oh, did that happen, did that happen in a meeting? It happened in a conversation, yeah. Yeah, was it an accident or was it? I don't know, or was it planted to get inside my head? Oh, yes. Who knows? Okay, well, yeah, honestly, I did think it was going to be Ben this week.

He's been a bit quiet. He's, you know, had his unusual level of nervous energy this week, but obviously not. It's Megan again, so we will try and work out where you are. We'll cross to Megan throughout the morning. All thanks to Invisible Ink Mineral Sunscreen, broad spectrum protection, suitable for all the skin types, including sensitive skin,

and we'll try and work out today or tomorrow where exactly Megan's going to be heading. So you're going to South Easter and an Uber. Give us something more, something more. We're going to a travel hub. Airport. We'll find out. Funny side up.

John O'Ben and Megan on the hits. John O'Ben and Megan's The Rogue with Invisible Zincolmineral sunscreen. That's for us to work out. Megan, it disappeared just after 7.30 this morning. She exited the show of a big surprise to us, as we did not know it was going to be Megan again. She was the rogue last time. And thanks to invisible zinc mineral sunscreen, if you can locate exactly where she is hiding,

just text spotted and the location to 4487, you'll win $5,000 if one of the correct guesses will get that. All right, she's like a fugitive on the run sort of situation with less legal consequences. and Megan who joins us now. Welcome. Hi-a-da, good morning. It does take me about 40. Are you still in your Uber? It takes me about 45 minutes just to get over the lies and deception that have taken place over the last week. But come to terms with that now.

Megan, can I just cast your mind back to an interrogation both Ben and I undertook with your four-year-old son, Bastie? This was Bastie because we figured that no one is more honest than the four-year-old child. Have you heard any conversations between Mummy and daddy saying, oh, mommy's got to go away for work this week. Why did my dad say no? Has she packed her bag yet? Basty, has she got a bag packed?

Her suitcase? Yep. Thank you. That's all we needed to know. No, I don't. I'm trying to guess like your own child. No, at that point, I didn't have a suitcase. That's why I was so like, what are you talking about?

I literally, I packed it yesterday, and he came into the room and he was like, Oh, is this your suitcase? And I was like, yes, I am actually going away. That's what John, I'm being more after you. Yeah, well, poor Basty. We really put them in a position there. And we know you're heading to the airport. We've figured that out, Megan.

So which way are you heading? Are you heading north? Are you heading south? Maybe it's international travel. I mean, geez, that would be a big budget thing, thanks to an invisible thing. I think mineral sunscreen. But, hey, who knows? Yeah, maybe I do need a lot of sunscreen where I'm going.

Listen, I know the state of radio. She's not going overseas, mate. Well, yeah, can we narrow it down to within New Zealand? Can we do that right now? Grace, can we narrow it down to within New Zealand or international? I don't know, not yet. Not yet. Oh, okay.

Can I ask you another question? You're saying yes. Your accommodation, does it meet your minimum four-star threshold as contractually obligated? Absolutely. Okay. It does. All right, interesting. Okay.

We've got some questions. More than meets my requirements. Oh. Okay, last time you ended up in Matamata, but there was a drive that wasn't a flight. So if you want to text through, yeah, and you want, well, give us a call right now. Oh, 100, that's any questions to Megan? Hold on. Also, I don't want to make it sound like I actually do have those requirements.

That was put in place by two other more diva radio announcers than I. So you just... They're not us. Can we just say that's not us? No. We don't need to name names if it's not us. But there is a minimum four-star clause. And if it still remains in your contract, me as well oh it's still in the car again yeah yeah yeah so megan we've got to tell wendy on the phone

she's got some questions for you fire away wendy now bastie said the other day that you were going to christ church so to say where you're heading uh bastion did say i'm going to christ church is that where i'm heading you just repeated everything wendy's you've given yourself a lot of stalling time by repeating the question back i can tell you the flight that i am taking is not going to Christchurch. Oh, but you don't say you're going to end up there or not, are you yet? Okay, no, that was really good for there.

You're using the same tactic when my wife asked me, did you do that thing that you were meant to do? Did I do that thing that I was, yeah. Was that? Okay, let's keep this coming through. Let's take one more quick one. Brody, you're on? What do you want to ask Megan the Rogue? Hey, Brod's. I don't know if I want to ask, but I'm just going to guess Infocagel.

I can tell you the flight's not going to Invercargle. but you can tell you okay all right well that doesn't say too much does it i don't know you've been very cryptic keep his calls coming through oh 100 the hits thanks to invisible zinc mineral sunscreen you can be winning five grand if we can locate where megan's going to end up oh 800 the hit so we need to we need to put some questions to you uh lots of texts lots of calls coming through yeah uh the first one being about your clothing i think was that nick who wanted to ask a question about the clothing. Deirdre wanted to ask the question about the clothing,

and I've just hung up on Megan, too. So, Deirdrey. You ask the question, we'll get Megan back up, and then we'll put it on to her. What's your question? Just if she's wearing clothes for the cold weather. Oh, clothes for the cold weather, Deirdre. That is a really good question.

Yeah, so, sorry, Megan rudely hung up on you. there. Dejory wants to know, have you packed for the cold? I have a jersey or two

Spotted, is this, because you and Grace are going away. Is this just a bloody girls trip away before Christmas? Are you going to a location where you're like, yes? Okay, we're going to Hawaii, guys, and we're going to go shopping in Hawaii. We're not coast, mate. We're not coast to fame, yeah? I know. You're not Tony Street, mate.

No bloody. You wish, you wish. Can I ask this one question that's just come through just before we finish us up? And you need to answer this one, okay? Okay, okay. Is Megan going overseas to appear on the Graham Norton show has come through? Honestly, answer us this. I wish, but no.

Okay, I'm not. What the hell would Graham ask me? Why are you here? Yeah, yeah. Who are you? John O'Ben and Megan on the hits. Now, I was at home yesterday alone and there was just the dog and myself, and we have a gate to sort of keep the dog. And I swear on my life, the dog would bark and the gate would open.

You were telling us about this at work. Yeah. Is it like a frequency thing from the dog or is it like bark operated? Never seen it before. But it happened three times. So what is it normally like a pin situation? Or you've got a little button you can push, you know. So yeah, obviously operating on frequencies of some level.

So I'm sitting there alone going, I feel like a crazy person. You know this sort of person who's got like government conspiracy theories, theories. sort of plastered to their fence outside their house like they're watching us wearing a bloody tinfoil hat sort of thing face mask yeah yeah and i was like i swear to god the dog's frequencies are opening the gate right so i text the electrician and i'm like how do i type a text like this without coming across like a certified crazy person yeah yeah it's a hard one yeah i was like gooday andy hope all is well mate started with hope all is well mate hey bit of a strange one yeah I think the dog is barking and opening the gate.

So it's barking and, well, obviously the gates open and so the dog could get out, which is a bit worrying right. And Andy, who's been an electrician, wonderful electrician, for I'd say over 20 years, he just texts back, well, this is a first. Oh, okay. He's like, you're a ludicotony, he's showing all the guys in the office.

Look at this, it here. It was probably a bit tentative about coming over to the house thinking if I was mentally, you might have had to do a welfare check or something. And then he came over, and guess what? You wouldn't believe it. It wasn't the dog. Wasn't the dog.

You wouldn't read about it. Was it? So ants and things had got into the motherboard. And obviously, this is my theory now, further on it. The dog would get close, bark, rattle all the ants. They would move around. Oh, hang on, now you sound more of it. No, you sound more of it.

I was stuck with the ant. So the dog theory, now you're bringing the ants are opening your gates. You know, because the ants are inside the motherboard. Now... Just to Troy come in here, please. I need to... So the dog comes and barks. He frightens the ads,

which then they all scatter around the motherboard. Is this what the guy said or this is what... Like, did he say it's ant-related? He was like, oh, I think there's a few ants in there. So this is now my theory of where I've headed. This sounds ridiculous. Does the dog sound ridiculous? Absolutely insane.

Like, this sounds more insane than the dog theory. Okay, are there any electricians out there? Okay, 4487. Could this possibly be a thing? Like, I imagine ants maybe could malfunction the guy, but not like running around and setting it out of it. and pull out all the wires. The panic button.

The pincode. Like, quick, go, give me a two, four, six, please. Okay, four, four, eight, seven. Any electricians, any professionals in the gate industry? Am I a certified crazy person? They sound like one, that's sure. Do I need a holiday? The fact that you're saying they're running over the senses when the dog barks.

It feels like an extra step. To me, but hey, I'm not an expert. The gate was opening mysteriously when the dog was barking, okay? and I text us to see the electrician and yeah I sounded like a certified crazy person and then the electrician came and said it's probably the ants

because the ants get inside the motherboard and then I'm thinking well the dog barks the ants get a fright they run a muck all over the motherboard the gate opens and do ants have ears that's the first text coming through good question yeah can they hear the dog I don't know I don't know

keep it down out there Ellie you're on hey how you doing You're backing the theory? I am. I've lived with ants a lot, you know, in old houses, etc. And they just mess with the electrical wiring, especially light switches, etc.

Here we go. Yeah, but you're saying, but do you reckon that they're getting a fright from the dog and then pushing the thing, or do you think they're just over time the ants and mess with the system? That's my question. You know, they possibly could be getting a fright.

Thank you, thank you really. Okay. We'll meet again on our exclusive. of chat group online okay and we'll bash some theories back and forth with the team awesome thank you all right funny side up

Jono Ben and Megan on the hits
