Thanks to Hello Fresh, cook easy, delicious dinners, the whole family will love because nothing beats dinner time. Welcome to the podcast. Okay, you go, welcome to the podcast. I'm going to try and do it at the same time. Okay, Megan, can you talk? At this same time as me. It's pretty good.

It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. Pretty good. Okay. Now how long are we going to keep this going for? I don't know. But tomorrow we'll be playing a handball for 24 hours.

It starts, well, you know, eight o'clock tomorrow, we'll be on Eden Park nice and early and playing handball nonstop. I mean, handball, not the most vigorous sport, you know, but it's just the staying away part. That's probably the trickest. I do like that we get timeouts because we're going to be, you know, if you get knocked out of the square, you get to line up and just have a break. And when people come and join in, that's quite good when you get a little bit of a break. And to be honest, I'm not very good.

So I get knocked out often. Yeah, that's fine. I mean, you'll get good by the end of it, I'll be sure. 24 hours we'll get you there. So we're on the field of Eden Park. aren't we, towards one of the grandstands? Yeah, yeah. That's good.

And then overnight in the changing rooms? Inside the changing rooms is then back outside again. Did you hear yesterday? So we're inside the changing rooms. Remember when we went to Eden Park to film the video for kids can. Inside the changing rooms is their showers and their ice baths and their spa. Right. So it's the spa that like the all blacks use.

Wow. They're not going to be in the spa. No, but I think they said they would make the spa. work for us. I don't know when we'd get time to do that. Yeah, it could be in there, eh. Bits the hairs? That's actually pretty grim.

Yeah, that's true. I'm sure it's well cleaned out. Yeah, it is. It's awesome when you go behind the scenes of a stadium like that. You're like, oh, this is where they, you know. Come on, let's do it out there. Yeah. That's the coach.

Yeah. Well, yeah, just seeing all the behind the scenes of where the bus comes in and they've got these beautiful paintings and murals along the wall and stuff like that and all these famous old pitchers. The big automatic doors at the entrance of the tunnel that they run out. Yeah, the drug testing room and all the other rooms off the side. They have all these things. You're like, oh, that's where all this happens.

Is it drug testing for the handball? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think, yeah, yeah, you will. We should all have to deliver a cup of. I think a radio station did that a while. It didn't end well. It didn't end well.

Why did they do that? Who did that? We can talk about. It was a radio show. Yeah, it was very sure we could probably talk about this off the podcast. I don't know how. I did it as an on-air stunt. And then a couple of them turned up positive.

It was on-air. It became news, yeah, it did become news. It's public knowledge. Yeah. Who was it? Well, how come you don't know? Like, I feel like, yeah. Well, I don't know.

I don't want to intentionally throw anyone under the bus. No, that's right. Anyway, let's just say there's a reason why Megan's not at Zidium anymore. Okay, that's all I'm going to say. A drug testing stunt went wrong. It's all I'm going to say. I've got them all in here, guys. Yeah, all right, enjoy the podcast,

and we're going to go get some, I don't know, I was going to say, get some rest, we probably won't. But we'll be playing handball tomorrow. You can catch us on the podcast with that. John O'Bin and Megan. The podcast. The heads. Went to the Air Force Museum with my dad who was in the Air Force and my son, Oscar.

And it was lovely, you know, see all the planes that Dad used to fly on and he would take photos with Oscar in front of them. Is this, where is the Air Force Museum? It's in Christ Church. Yeah, they've done a really good job there. Wigram. Oh, Wigram, yeah.

Yeah. It's really, honestly, if you get to go, I think it's free. Sir Peter Jackson is here? Plains in that one or something. He might do, yeah. He's got some in Blenham too, I think so, Peter Jackson. Yeah. Were you there?

Like, you know, he might do. I think it's free. Oh, but maybe they don't say owned by, this, donated by, you know. It's not like he's big photo next to them or anything, right? He doesn't even know if he had to pay to get in. Yeah, I can't remember if it was, I think it was free. It's probably one of those, you know, make a donation, but not optional ones. Yeah, you're like, oh.

Either make it, you've got to donate or don't. Don't give me the option, because you know what I'm going to choose. And you're not going to like it. You're not going to like it. But if you tell me I need to make a co-haw on it, he's not co-haring. So anyway, we're wandering around. And honestly, if you did get the opportunity to go, it's really cool. And I'm not much of a plane person.

But I was like, oh, this is really well laid out and set out. And so we walk into one of the hangers, which has got all, you know, these aircraft from wars and things in them. And I see a lady. she's on the ground okay she's kind of seductively well I wouldn't say seductively for a museum okay so she's on the ground

legs like that and sort of you know how you put your arm down and you're resting your hand on your head yeah yeah and she's got her camera on a little tripod on the ground as well so she's taking herself is she yeah I was like this is an interesting photo shoot for the environment

like a sexy Air Force museum photo like what is that an only fan's background What is that? Was she, she was close? She was close. Yeah, she was pretty close.

Yeah, do I ask that? She was like, because my dad even said, oh, do you want us to take this for you? So you can get off the ground and stand up just like a normal functioning person. And she was like, no, no, it's all good. So she obviously,

she had a creative concept in line. She wanted it like that. I was like, yeah, it's a little throwing out by that. Okay. I'm surprised you didn't go up and ask, like, where is it, where is this going? Like, I would like to know. I would like to know.

I would like to know at what point. is she going to go, hey, here I am at the Air Force Museum, on the ground. Like a bikini, sort of, you know, on the beach. Yeah. With the, you know, giant Meg fighter jets and stuff behind her. Very unusual. But, hey, I mean, each to their own. You don't want, as you so, Megan, you don't want to yuck someone's yum, if that's something.

No, yeah. Maybe she knows that's great for her followers. Yeah, good on it. Good on her. That's the content they like. I'd love to see where that photo ended up and how the creativity was seen through. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits. It's just watching some wild footage of that huge storm hitting Jamaica at the moment.

They've recorded 265K wins. It's a Category 5, Melissa, is the hurricane. It's just made landfall in Jamaica. Yeah, 265K wins, but it's only just made landfall. So we talked about the win last week in New Zealand being like a record levels. And it was close to what, maybe 200Ks in some Canterbury Highlands? Yeah, like those were the gusts, but this is, yeah, 200. Just as it's made landfill

It's not even close to the eye yet Go up to 300 or something today So I think of everyone affected by that Geez And you put that in perspective Sorry for rambling all over you I'm reading at the same time I can't do both at the same time

But Jamaica is roughly the same size As the Hawke's Bay and Gisbon Tiny little island Wow You can fit Jamaica into the North Island 25 times Is it that small Thank you

Thank you for making me sound like Bloody Legend She just owned it. Yeah, no. That's weird he knows Jamaica. Yeah, no, I would have believed it. No, that's true. Now, something's been going on in your house.

Well, we've been talking the last couple of weeks about your daughter saying, talking about Cassie, right? Yeah, so last night at the dinner table, yesterday, I don't know why, but she felt the need to name all our family members. You guys did feature, actually, before we get to Cassie. Oh, we made the cut? This was at the dinner table. Oh, good. Okay. John-on-in-what? Some be what?

Who are they? John Ben. John O'Nben. Yeah. It's your parents. My parents? Yeah. Are they Daddy's parents?

Are they Daddy's parents too? No. His parents and mum and dad. Oh, so John Ombed are my parents. Yeah. They're like old enough to her. I as translator. Yeah, yeah.

I'm like, I'm picking up none. I don't know what she's saying. Oh yeah, you're manipulating. You're leading the witness. No, to be honest, she was saying John O'em been for ages and we're all like, who are you talking about? Bastion, my son is like, she's saying

John O and Ben. He had to do the translation. Okay, so we're parents. Okay, fair enough. We adopted you. We're really not old enough to be my parents, but I love that she thinks so. But then when we went to go shower,

she was listing off all her family again. So she's like, yeah, my mummy's Megan, my dad's Andrew, my brother's Bastion. and then she said to me and my big sister is Cassie Now can we bring you one up to speed If they haven't heard her talk about Cassie before Because this is starting to kind of freak out a little bit

Right? Yeah so this was a few weeks ago She mentioned Cassie and that comes to her house And originally I was like Oh my husband who's Cassie So we've figured out Cassie's Not anyone that me or him know But she says that Cassie comes to her home

All the time And so we've been trying to figure out who Cassie is we think it could be maybe a ghost. Could it be? But Andrew, my husband, he was like, stop talking to her about it and see if she brings it up. So it's been a week or so since we've heard about Cassie, but yesterday she said, my big sister Cassie.

So I was like, oh, okay. She's back in the house. Now, we were meant to get the bloody medium over there to do some investigating. We never, once again, classic us didn't follow through on that. Well, there's a lot going on. We're at the handball. We've got a ghost story that we need to close too.

So she says she's not as little as her, but she's not as big as us. So she's younger than, like, her parents, me, and she's bigger than her. But then after she said my big sister Cassie, I was like, well, when did you, what are you talking to Cassie about? And she said, Cassie just wants to talk to you. She wants to talk to you. Yeah. We need to get the medium over next week. I was like, oh.

Yeah. No further questions. My daughter said to me, Cassie just wants to talk to you. Maybe Cassie's like taking opportunity test John and Beno your parents Go to Ancestry.com Maybe that's what Cassie's like hey It all checks out

Well that is that is It's creepy It's definitely a ghost Yeah You reckon? I was like where is Cassie Is she here now? She said no

But She's got stuff to do She says she comes to her home Okay we need to get them next week We'll get Jess over the medium I've got such a horrible feeling in my stomach After Halloween Oh, yeah.

Okay, we'll get Halloween other way, so it's not as spooky, and then we'll get to that and try and close that loop next week. Yeah, good luck. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, that. You know, scientists, this is good news for just people in general. Scientists in Taiwan, I reckon they've created a serum that can regrow here in just 20 days. That's groundbreaking. That is groundbreaking.

Just want to leave that out. I did want to text our boss, Matt Mando. He's a group chat, didn't he? I know, but I wanted to text him back and be like, he's been bored for a while would you now go and get here? Why wouldn't you? 20 days? 20 days, turn around. They haven't said the cost

of it, but that's quick. I can't imagine him with here anymore. I leave Washington unfolded for 20 days. Yeah. 20 day here. I can't imagine you with a full head of like blonde curls. Well, get ready, baby. It's coming thanks to we're scientists in Taiwan. So I did click on the article, obviously, just out of pure interest. Research. They've tested it on mice.

Harriest mice you'll ever see. They're looking good, the mice. Mice looks fantastic. Like Danny Zucco from Greece. Oh, wow. Just tiny little faces and just boom here. Yeah, up the back. Oh, that's lovely.

It's lovely. This is where animal testing, you're like, damn, those animals look better. Those mice look amazing. Speaking of scientific things, last night, I was about to go to bed. Because we've got 24 hours of handball we're doing tomorrow, so we're all like trying to get early nights. About to go to bed. Does that work? I don't think it does.

Banking your sleep? I don't think it does. I don't think it does. Well, I think it definitely, going into it tired, it's not going to help. No. No, but true. But my daughter, Andy, was, you know, she was like, oh, I was like, good night. And she was like trying to work out something.

And it was to do with homework. You do realize you get to a stage and, you know, you'll find this, Megan. At first, with your kids' homework, you feel like a genius. Smashing it. Yeah, I can help with you all this. I can't help with this now. You're like, I can't help with anything. Yeah, I agree.

And last night it was to do with concave and convex, like, with lights shining through. and I'm like, I can work this out. I can help you work this out. And the next thing we know, we're looking at chat GPT, we're looking at things. We're even watching this YouTube video with this helpful little demonstration. A lens is a transparent glass of plastic

with curved sides that can bend like... I got sick of him by the end, but I'm like, shut up, mate. You're not helping me understand, but you get frustrated. Concave is like a cave. It goes in. Yeah, that was the thing about the cave

and then the lights disband out. Convex goes out. I'm not going to say this. You're never going to need that in life. Well, that's what I wanted to tell it. Yeah. Because it's got to a stage, you know, my daughter, Siena with her mass, so I can't. Now, my wife's very good at it.

She's the teacher, but she's busy, so I can't help her anymore. So we've got her a little bit of tutoring, which, you know, which has been really helpful, actually, they're awesome. Because you just don't know. They're learning some stuff out there. Mate, I was like, were we learning the same stuff? Or were we learning the same stuff? No, I think we were learning the same stuff. It's just we deleted it.

Yeah, it's gone from you. And you don't want to say that to them. Storage up there is limited. But the first time, because you're paying for obviously this tutorage, they was like, how was it? She was like, it was great. I'm like, awesome. And she's like, I made two friends. I'm like, okay.

See her, it comes back. I'm like, okay, not the point. Let's focus more on what, where my money's going towards. Well, thanks to you, she can count how many friends. She's made. And she's like, and I ate three fruit bursts when they gave me correct dances. I'm like, okay, okay. Two plus three is.

Five. So I guess in some ways it's mass, right? Yeah, focusing more on the candy and the friendships. But anyway, it's helping her out as well. John O'Bennon and Megan. The podcast. The Hits. Live from New York City, it's our entertainment correspondent, Nicole Ryan.

Catch up with her every week. You're live from New York. She hosts a radio. So over there for Sirius Radio. Nicole Ryan, how's it going? I'm doing okay, fresh off of a hang with the legend, the iconic Shaquille O'Neill. Oh, stop it. I was wearing my Shaquille O'Neill T-shirt yesterday.

Not that he'll care, but yeah, just he's a big fat, big fan. I mean, what's he like? He seems awesome. I mean, just a huge individual, though, right? I mean, huge is an understatement. My son is, like, the biggest basketball fan ever. He's really good at basketball. I was like, let's let him come in to meet Shaquille O'Neal.

And he had to duck to get into the studio. That's how big he is. But he was, he's so glorious and so amazing. And that voice, you just told us like. I feel like his voice is getting deeper the older he gets to. He's moved into a mumble now. Yes, yes. And we brought up his levels a little bit

because we were afraid of the mumble before he came in. But he did not disappoint and he was fabulous and it was, I mean, I think my husband was geeked out like a total complete loser

but understandably so because he is a huge basketball fan also. Bean would have crumbled. Yeah, I know. Size 22 shoes, I think he's got or something like that. Something crazy like that. Yeah.

Jam, just, you know what they say? I just, I'm just saying. Like I've always said, like, I feel like if you, like, when you're like with like a really big football player, like a real like a big man like Shaq, like are you like a, I would be so nervous. I would be like, I'm going to be broken. Like if he rolls on top of you if you're sleeping, you're right. I know what you mean. You're like a chihuahua on the couch.

Yeah. Don't sit on me. Yeah. Well, Ben, I, and you measure your hero. Oh, God, he could engulf you if you were a little spoon. No, I know, imagine that. He just racked arms right around you. Ben would be scared too.

Ben would be scared too. He'd be broken. He'd be broken. Ben would see it as a challenge and he would rise to the occasion. He's got the can-do attitude. That's right. He'll make anything work. Well, okay, speaking of relationships then,

should we go to Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau? Yeah, this seems like a thing, right? Katie Perry, pop star, Justin Trousseau, former Canadian Prime Minister. Yeah. I mean, I don't think it just seems like they're dating. I think they finally came out. I mean, good for them for trying to keep it on, like, the DL for a while.

Like, when you first, like, start to get to know someone, you don't know if it's going to stick. You don't know if it's just going to be, like, a hookup or if you guys are really going to be, like, meld together. So I think that was good that they tried to keep it on, like, low-key for a while. But then they were ready to just sort of shout it from the broodops and came out from a date, and he was at another one of her shows, and I think they look nice together. Oh, good.

And now, did you tell me this? The dating scene in America, it's perfectly kosher to date multiple people, at the same time. Yeah, like, I mean, unless you are like, yeah, I want to be, it just to be you and me, I can do whatever I want and you better believe I did. Yeah, I mean, well, honestly, though, like, you're trying to find, right? Like, well, you know, where you're living and you're having fun, but you're trying to find your match.

You're trying to find your partner. And, like, you don't want to waste time. And so unless you're going to be serious with me, I'm going to go and see what other fish are in the sea. So with your husband, were you like, when you guys initially started going out, were you like seeing other people at the same time? Oh, my God, yes. First of all, we met at 3.30 a.m. at a New York City bar.

New York City love story couldn't have been more intoxicated. And I think the majority of, like, that first year of our relationship was just like a 3 a.m. Like, you up kind of thing. And that was just as much him as it was me. Like, I thought he was kind of like a womanizing scumbag, to be honest. You can womanize me when I choose. You don't womanize me. Yeah, but I mean, I like, you know, I wait until he was like,

okay like let me take you on a real date like let's actually like do this and then once we did that then we realized that we really wanted to be together but yeah it was just hooking up for a while so he did his thing and i did my thing and would you know that he was doing his thing would would he discuss the things he was doing away from you or not he didn't have to discuss anything i knew exactly what he was doing and i'm pretty sure he knew exactly what i was doing this has to be not just in new york city there's no way you guys don't have this there i mean people like will date on like tinder and the dating apps and stuff but i don't know i i i i need I never did that.

Maybe New Zealand's too small. Yeah, maybe you're right. I just, I get fixed at it. And once I've got my sights on someone, that's it. And then they're in trouble. I mean, Manhattan's just a bunch of hoes. That could also be the case. Good on you, Nicole.

A lovely talking to you again. We'll catch up with you next week, Nicole. You too, guys. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The heads. You know, we talk about this a lot, you know, the internet these days, to quite rudimental, something that we use quite a lot. It's the first place to go for help.

and it can be very, very helpful. Chat GPT, YouTube, things like that, but sometimes it can do you dirty. Yeah, and Patricia Troy got did dirty by the internet. This was AI, was it? Chat GBT. Chat GPT. Yeah, chat GPT. Source of all, well, what I thought was all correct information.

I use it for everything. Any time I've got a question, I don't Google anymore, I go chat GPT. And it hasn't done me wrong until now. Yeah. One of the most prized possessions in my kitchen is my cast iron pan. Fair. Great chef, producer Troy. Have you ever said that?

Great chef, Megan. Best in the show. Best in the show, I think. Except he had to Google how to season his cast iron, so it can't be that greatest chef. Oh, okay, someone. Did it text me? Some of the most disgruntled chef over here.

The previous best chef of the show. But all chefs are very disgruntled, I hope you know. We're all very angry. Yeah. So it's a very new cast iron pan, and I didn't know how to season it properly. Sorry, when you say seasoning. Oh, great share. You have to kind of prime the pan so it doesn't rust because it's iron.

Okay. And if you cook with it and it stays wet. to whatever, leave it in the cupboard, it ruts. So you do this to a new one, do you? Yeah, well, you season it. It's quite an extensive process to season it initially, and then every time you use it, you have to wash it with hot water and then season it again.

No soap. No soap for a car sign. You know, soap? Oh, really? Okay, all right. Just leave all the crusty stuff just caked on. Yeah, it adds to the seasoning, the flavour, so to speak. Okay, so what a chat GPT tell you to do? Chat Chippee said, just chuck some canola oil on it, a thin layer and rub it all around, turn it upside down, put it in the oven as hot as the oven goes

for an hour? For an hour seems like a long time but hey chat GPT never let you down before right? Never let me down before. Sounds like a huge hazard waiting to happen. I've never heard the upside down thing before. I've also never turned the oven as hot as it goes.

Yeah I don't think. It's like 400 degrees. For an hour. Yeah. And so I was like okay. Damn it would be hotter than the sun in there. When that's so extreme you didn't think to like, you can guess it.

Chitchy B2 nose. Okay, so put it in, what happened? For about 35 minutes I just heard, crack. And then like a little wobble, wobble, wobble in the oven. And I come and look

and I can see three distinct shadows in the oven through the oven door. Oh, no, it's a blazing oven door. Can you even touch the oven handle? It must be nuclear at this point. You get the tongs to open the door, and I see, in the middle of the oven

the remnants of the cast iron and on either side the enamel casing of the cast iron pan had snapped clean into now you're putting this down to the heat that Chach GBT told you put on

the position of the It's probably a mix of the heat and being upside down yeah did you go back to Chachyp T and be like bro what the hell I did I remember I said you broke my cast iron pan

and says oh you're absolutely right I'm sorry what I did wrong was I told you to put it upside down. Why? Why did she do this to me?

Yeah. Very helpful information. Why would you say upside down? I'm sorry, that was a mistake. Maybe it's more human-like than we think, so it does make mistakes. All right, the internet, doing you dirty. When you've gone to get advice from the internet, you followed that advice, and it hasn't worked out for you.

Have you got examples, John? I feel like this is right up your alley. I do. Yeah, I had a terrible typo. Well, we're actually in Palmerston North for my son's basketball. tournament, and I was texting, oh, I don't even want to say their names.

I was texting it, well, it auto-corrected, there was two people's names. Right. George and Virginia. And it ended up saying, yeah. Yeah, I was just

say, yeah, I was going to say you started with a name that really, like, yeah, you made up a name. And the problem was it auto-corrected to Virginia. It was quite embarrassing vagina. We do one of those voice memos? Yeah.

Oh, God. All right. Help us out. Paul 4-8-7 on the text. We've got to have hung on this whole time. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The Hats. Now, Ben, we've noticed something.

A change. A development of sorts, Megan. You've grown up. You've moved on. And it's making us sad in my heart. It made me sad in my heart, too. When we travelled to Northland, I noticed that you had. upgraded your beloved Simpsons backpack.

Yeah, I did. Yeah, it was the Simpsons one, which I loved, which I loved, was one of the straps had started to fade away a little bit. So, you know, it was, yeah. You've been a big backer of the school backpack. So he had his eras, like, his eras, like, Taylor Swift had his errors to it. He's had his backpack eras. He had your My Little Pony era.

That was the first one. I got given that from a movie, and I was like, I'll take that. If the kids won't use it, I'll use it. And I did it at the Rock Radio Station, too. He took it to the rock. Much mockery, but I was like, I wore it proud. I wore it proudly. I love that bag.

The reason we're not there anymore. Then you had the Toy Story 4 era. Yeah, I did. I like that one to again. That bag. All these bags have just, you know, over time, using them every day. You know, they're in tear. If it's been gifted by a movie company, he'll use it to transport goods.

And the Simpsons one as well. Now I've got a more adult one than my wife had. They share that one around. And I'll tell you, be honest, it's got so many great pockets of organization. Yeah, because it's an adult bag. Like so many, I can put my stuff in so many places, but it does hurt my heart that it's not a... It's grey. I know, it's grey, boring and bland, but it's got so many pockets.

You went from like a full-on yellow, like Simpsons backpack to this grey and it does make me sad. I've got so many places I can put stuff, it's charges, hand sanitiser, wipe, you name it. It's all of the air, I've just got stuff in there. Heavy-duty straps too. Yeah. It used to look like a lost kid looking for a school bus. Now it looks like someone would sell vapes to the kids on the school bus. Or if they could combine the two.

Maybe there's a market for, no, there's no market for that. I asked if you could put your grown-up backpack in your Simpsons backpack. Couldn't do it. So this is what we want to know. Are you a kid alt? Are you fully grown adults still proudly representing children's stuff? I know foods of popular ones. I used to love, and I probably still would, the Awati's Fruit-Sucky Pouches.

You know those? and the kids had those and now I just I've lost all confidence to come home with those in the supermarket for fear of mockery but I'm gonna you're a really confident grown up man

if you're sucking a one of those someone in the office that does that right that's a yogurt one our boss Mando I've told him it gives me the egg I wasn't gonna name him but alright yeah Mando the boss yeah since we bullied him he stopped with the suckies

but I think that's for the best he uses a spoon like a big boy if you're over the age of 20 you can't be sucking from a pouch general rule of thumb. Unless you're a sports person and it's like Electrolites or something. We'll give you that.

Yeah, okay. Oh, 800, that's 4-487. You're an adult still still enjoying kids' stuff. Maybe it's figurines. You know, Armageddon was on over the weekend. I was like, oh, Jesus, I should go on there. There were so many great figurines and stuff.

Jesus should have gone there. We've got our own kid old in studio. Can't let you in here, mate. Your backpacks two adults. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The Earth's got a temporary second moon. We're just lurking. No, lurking.

in the background at the moment not doing anything to affect the planet or anything and we're going to be gone. But then I looked into it and it's just like an asteroid. It looks like a big rock really, not even circular or anything but yeah. Where is it? Not even circular. It's not even cool. You don't impress me much, the moon. You call

yourself a moon. You're all bumpy. Oh, you do think, yeah. It does look like just a giant rock in space. But anyway. So, Shinawa, Twain. Yeah, don't impress you. You're like, on the moon. Second moon. We've already got another moon and it's bigger, brighter and better. So that don't impress me much. Exactly.

All righty. We're just talking about when you're an adult, and you indulge in kid things. Kidults, Ben's just upgraded from years. I'd say 20 year, 20 year career in children's backpacks to an adult backpack. I can dip my toes back into that, guys. You know, just need you one.

What if I got you one for Christmas? I'd happily wear it. Like a Disney one. You got any on your wish list? Oh, I'm sure. Playing on my wish list. What's your favourite Disney thing at the moment? Oh, like I'm all Disney.

It's very, I'd happily wear a frozen backpack. You know I would. Because everyone sees them, they were like when you're in a lift with someone, they're like, oh, are you taking that to your kids? And you're like, no. Best thing was if you're like you're at a bar, a restaurant, you'd just leave them something. People, no one ever go on your back and think it was a laptop or anything. Adult-like inside. That's true.

Who would steal from a child? Yeah, so that's great. Good point. Velcro wallet has come through on a couple of occasions. Producer Troy's friend is what, 27-28, has had a Spider-Man Velcro wallet. His entire life, is it Troy? Yeah, he's had it since he was. 12 years old, I think.

It's funny when we go to like a pub or something. I've got this round, guys. Nothing commands respect in the pub like the sound of Velcro ripping and money unleashing. Got a partner? He's got a wife. Wow. She knew about this heading into? I think she did.

Yeah, she's aware. You had a Velcro wallet? Yeah, I did. I've got a Simpsons one at the moment. Yeah, and also a Mickey Mouse one at home I take for special occasions. You know, so, yeah. I've seen that Mickey Mouse. Yeah, my family are like, oh.

Dear God. Is it a Velcro one? They are like, no occasion is special enough for this. They have the Mickey Mouse hand to close it. It's like, holds in the money, guys. It's not time for Mickey's hand to let the money loose. I love it. Jessica, we're going to get you on this morning.

You're a kid alt. Yep, that's correct. Now, we understand you're a university lecturer. Yes, that's correct, too. A responsible adult. Yeah. That's what are you doing? So we have different courses that we teach at University of Waikasau at our time.

on their campus, ironically, in professionalism. And so in those tutorials, to make the topic slightly less dry, I was incorporating things like Bowie and SpongeBob SquarePants. Oh, right, so you would watch SpongeBob for research purposes? Yes, absolutely. Most important research. I like it. You do find yourself lost in those storylines, don't you?

When the kids would leave and you end up watching the whole thing, you're like, yeah. I guess the manager, Mr. Craby is not. very professional at all you could be like this is not how to run a business yeah well actually it's squidward that uh was the main example there okay okay mind you sponge bob who's a shocking employee wasn't he yeah yeah yeah yeah around nightmare hey uh thank you jessica really do appreciate it now you're saying producer grace turned up producer grace who's in her 20s turned up to your house megan with a squishmellow um that she sleeps with but the thing was her squishmellow was she matched my daughter's squishmallow and she was about to look after my children so i didn't

fill me with hope. She turns up in her pajamas with her soft toys. I'm not going to lie, when me and I had matching scrish mellows, I kind of lost it. It was the best day of my life. I was like, we, I was like, you are purple, I'm yellow. And she's like, oh my God, guys, it was a really good day. And they're both jumping up and down screaming with their soft toys. And I was like, oh my God,

I have to leave her with my children. One would be two, the other one at the time, probably 23, 20, you know. Yeah, that's fine. That's a normal reaction for 24 years. No judgment. Who looked after who that night. Don, don't know. Welcome. Oh, hi. Good to have you on. You're a kiddo. What are you still running from the kid's section?

I've got a poodle pyama case that my dad bought me when I was about seven and it still sits on my bed and I'm 62. Wow, good on you, Donna. That's adorable. Now, Donna, have you had friends over to stay?

Not lately. I've just moved into a new house. Oh, yeah. I'm still getting things sort of. You sound like you're inviting yourself over. Yeah, that was weird. I was like, John would like to say some drug. You know, there's been times of intimacy, Donna.

And people have come over and seen... Okay, Donna, you don't have to answer this. That's your lawyer. Who was the last time you're intimate, Donna? God, it sounds like a proposition. He knows me. He's seen my pyjama case. Oh, that's good.

She's an open book. Okay, we didn't get the answer to that question. My brother, boy. Oh, Donna, don't listen to have you. You're awesome. Love her pyjama case. Yeah, thanks, Donna. You look after yourself, Donna.

John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The Hats. We are playing handball for 24 hours. at Eden Park. It starts tomorrow. We'll be doing it at this time tomorrow, actually, with our friend, How to Dad, Jordan Watson, to raise money for Kids Can, a wonderful organisation that helps out

so many kids around the country. Really important. Yeah, and founded by the wonderful Dame Julie Chapman. Good morning. How are you? Oh, hello, how are you? Good. We're doing all right. How are you doing? You know what? I, like, literally forget

until someone says that. It's so weird. There's a Dame. Yeah. Does anyone ever go, Dame, Dame? I just go by DJ I've seen myself as a bit of a DJ To be honest What do they do?

What sort of are you getting the advantages as a dame Can you get 10% 10 cents off a leader at petrol station or something? No And there's no like I can't just rock up to government house And knock on the door and come and stay What's the point of it? That would be good, wouldn't it?

Now people might not know this But you started Kidscan many years ago now Why did you decide there was a need for it? I had everything that I needed when I was growing up going to school. I didn't come from a wealthy family. My dad was in demolition. My mum worked in the office. I knew that I had access to three meals a day.

I had a decent pair of shoes, a warm jacket. And so when I found out that children in New Zealand were missing out on those things and it was preventing them from getting to school in a position to learn, I really felt that was unfair and I wanted to just do something about that because every child deserves to have a good education and if there's these material kind of things that are the barriers to that

then it's kind of simple to alleviate them and make sure that they can and also food obviously is a massive part of that as well and so that's why kids can started. Now you started out of your garage, is that right? That's when it first started back in the day. You started in the garage. in Greenhife back in the day in 2005 and sort of thought, well, you know, see what we can do here.

Started off by supporting 40 schools across New Zealand with food and shoes and clothing. And we're now, and this is not something to celebrate, we're now supporting children in over 1,500 schools and early childhood centres. and that just shows you how big the issue of poverty really is in this country and it's not great for our kids. And there's more that are waiting on the list to partner up with Kids Can, right? Absolutely. We've got 58 schools that are waiting right now for our support and over 70 early childhood centres.

And so, you know, Kids Can Ball with you guys getting in behind it again this year and Jordan is going to go a long way to helping us to help some of these children that are waiting for our support. Gosh, even ECEs, that's like under fives. That's little kids and toddlers and stuff. I had to figure out what an ECE was there, and then I figured it out. So I'm so proud of myself. That blows my mind that, you know, even the little, little ones are not getting what they

need on a day-to-day basis. It's really sad. And we know that in New Zealand, there are right now 157,000 kids that are living in what's called material hardship and that means they're missing out on those things like food, warm clothing, shoes that most of us take for granted and that has a massive impact on their lives

and they're just trying to survive and we want all kids to thrive we all have a responsibility to make sure that kids have what they need So where does the money go? Like if people can donate now, they can text kids to 933, make a $3,000 donation. I'll go to kidscambool.org.com.com.com. If they can donate more, where does that money go?

What can it help to do? Well, our goal this year is to raise funds to help 10,000 children. So those funds will go to providing food, jackets, shoes and health items. And for us, it'll help us to get those 58 schools and some of the early childhood centres off the waiting list. So I think it's really important that listeners know that all of that money will go to those things. None of it's going to go into administration or anything like that. And so I guess we're asking people to really dig deep, to go to Kids Can Ball, text your $3. Or you can also go on the Kids Can website and sign up to support monthly as well.

So lots of ways you can get involved in help I mean I just can't wait to kick off And I can't wait to see how you guys are On the Friday morning I know well yeah I don't know if you want to see us on a Friday Maybe Thursday morning we might be in better form For you Julie

Well listen hey thank you so much For allowing us to do this with you And congratulations all the great work You've done over the years Julie Oh look thank you And I'll be there for kickoff on Thursday And at the end as well You're putting your body's on the line

really for the kids love it it's one day you've had 20 years of this Julie it seems like the least we can do oh I appreciate it look forward to seeing you guys thanks and if you can help out text kids right now just three dollars a three dollar donation that's all we want our kids to 933 right now you can do that and help out so many kids in there jonob ben and megan the podcast the hits no if you've got what you think is the coolest initials around when it comes to your name because someone we work with thinks they've got it uh Rob are you? Yeah, good, good. Are you running on a treadmill right now, we understand? Yes. No, no, no, I'm out and about.

Actually, running towards the Harbour Bridge. Oh, lovely. Give us a quick weather update, would you, Rob? It's actually slightly overcast outside, and it looks like a nice morning, that's for sure, but I think it's going to rain this afternoon. How's the temp out there? Well, I'm bloody hot because I've run a couple of pages already, so. And I'm looking better, too.

You don't sound too puffed at the moment, which is pretty good. So we got you a good time. Now, you were telling us the other night when you came along to the Alpha Quiz, which was lovely you came along with us at the ElfQuiz out the hangar. But you said that back in the 90s, you thought you had the coolest initials. Well, as you said, 80s, so that's showing my age. It was very, very cool in the 80s, like having the initials. It made up for my last name, which is Dickie, but having the initials, rad,

was like the raddest thing to have in the 80s. You know what I mean? So Robert, Robert, what was your middle name? God, this is done to sound like a scam call, Andrew. that's my middle name yeah do you want any password

just that little three digit number on the back of your credit card would be really handy about now Robert Andrew Dirky okay

Radd yeah red I guess you write it down your initials with something or you get to initial documents that must be kind of cool

rad rad well yeah I was I still do that when they say initial like the bottom of the page when you're signing contracts and stuff

I always use my full initial initials so they're like did someone who skateboards and drinks Mountain Juice

signed this contract well that's Rad, agree with everything, bro. It's not really legal speak, is it? What do you think of that? It was rad. It was pretty rad. So, apart from the 80s and maybe the early 90s,

has it done you any other favours throughout the years, Rob? Has it done? Well, it has just distracted from my last name, especially in high school. You know what I mean? Like, when I went into high school, and everyone's like, oh my God, he's got dick in his name. That's weird.

But, you know, that would have been prime content, wouldn't it? You'd be like, but my initials are rad. They're rad. They're rad. Look at this. They're like, no, we're more focused on the other part. Just what the girl said. He know, I'm putting.

No, they didn't, Rob. You're making Red sad, Megan. Hey, good on you, Rob. We'll need you get on with your run. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Cheers. What are your initial?

I've got BRB, which is I don't, be right back. Be right back. Yeah, I'm not a real big fan of my middle name being Ross. But hey, BRB is all right? Be right back, yeah. Yeah, Ross, Ross is fine, it's fine, it's just, there's no connection. There's my bugbear about it.

My dad got Ross as a middle name and for no connection to the family at all and then he passed it on to me. I was like, let's give me something. At least I can go, oh, it's my great-grandfather's name or something. Well, there's the connection. You guys have started. You've started. I know, but I was going to give it to Sierra. Sierra Ross, boys, just to keep it going.

What are your initials, Megan? Well, but when I, my maiden name was Sellers and then I was Mills, MLS. That's nice. Now I'm... Major League Soccer. Yeah, that's Major League Soccer. John O'Benn and Megan The podcast, The Hits.

G-L-H, Grace, Louise Hilliam, goes like hell. Goes like hell. Great acronym, Grace. That's very fitting to you. So many great texts coming through. Someone's saying my initials are OG, which is pretty cool.

Oh, that's good. That's pretty cool. Some are saying M-P-C. It's pretty good as well. TNT has come through. M-A-N-T. Man. Jam.

There's lots of them coming through. This is a great topic. You know, everyone's got initials. Yeah. Oh, you've opened up a can of worms here. Ben, Alison, morning. Hi, how are you? Yeah, we're doing well, mate. Now, one of your relatives has got what?

Yeah, my grandson, he's Miles Carey Robertson, and it was just short for NKR. And when I said that to my son and daughter-in-law, they said, oh, no, that we love that. We do that deliberately, because we love MKR. Oh, they love My Kitchen Rules. That's cool. They name this son after My Kitchen Rules. That's incredible. Yeah, but it's also a name with tradition, and it's not my late husband's name, and it's not.

Oh, beautiful. So it's sort of like it was quite emotional, it works on both levels. Multi-level, but mainly for my kitchen rules and not your late husband. Oh, that's awesome. Hey, thank you for sharing that with us. Appreciate it. Thanks, Alison.

Have a great day. Heather, morning to you. Morena. Morena. Right, what are your initials, Heather? Mine's not cool at all. It's quite embarrassing. My name is Heather Ann McLean, so I'm landed with ham.

Oh, you're ham. You're coming into your season. Yeah. Christmas time, that's your season, you're right. You're on Christmas ham. Do you like ham? That's all right. I'm a different.

There's another heather comes through. Heather Ellen Parker hyphen Carlton. Hep C. Oh, you're lying. I am lying. Carol, morning to you. How are you?

Oh, I'm good. Yeah, good, Carol. What have you got? We're coming off ham. What have we got? I'm Cam. Ham and Cam. Oh, Cam.

Thank you. That's pretty good. There's someone else text through her saying my brother's initials of BMW, Brendan Matthew Wright, which is pretty cool. And before I was married, my initials were PMS. If I added my married name, I would be calm. Are you still married, Carol? No.

No. So no longer calm. Thank you so much. It's probably quite fitting for marriages. We're doing something for 24 hours tomorrow playing the game of handball or 4Square depending on what you used to call it back in school but we're doing it for kids can to raise money for them.

The heads kids campbell. Yeah, happening with the how-to-dad Jordan Watson at Eden Park tomorrow for 24 hours. A whole lot of people coming in down to join us and we're trying to raise a whole lot of money to help out key with kids the need. Yeah, and you can actually get involved too. Your workplace or school, you can head to kidscambul.org.com.

Is it a dot org or is it a dot-co? Oh, they've opted for a dot org. Yeah, they have. Organization. Oh, not bad. Not bad. They're at an organization, you're right. Yeah.

Is that the difference between an org and a co? Co being a company and an organization. Focusing on details that really don't matter right now. Yeah, what we need to focus on is those donations. You can text 933 to kids, sorry, text kids to 933, make an instant $3 dollar donation, but you can donate more at kidscambal.org. It's an organization. And we've got hold of some friends of ours from Dombach Primary School.

They're getting involved today, in fact, doing a bit of a marathon handball effort. Nonga and Jai join us this morning. How has it been organising this fundraiser, kids? It's been pretty great helping kids and also giving back what kids can have given us. Well, we went there, didn't we? We went to Dombok. Megan was dancing and her knee hasn't been the same since, dancing with all the kids. It was great vibes at Domba.

Yeah, they have great vibes. and great thing you're doing. You're playing handball from what, 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock. So all day? Yeah, it is great. Trying to raise 5 grand. Although also at the same time, you're getting out of class. So a great idea from you guys.

What does kids can mean to Don Buck? Because, yeah, we saw firsthand the jackets being handed out and obviously get shoes and breakfast and lunch as well. They mean a lot because they taught us so much. It's not just about the jackets and stuff. It's about the shoes too and snack. People are there and have food for the day. So you guys are going to be doing it for seven hours, is that right?

Nine to three, if my maths is right? Six hours. Six hours, it's not right. I need to go back to school. But do you have any advice for us? We're going to do it for 24 hours. I say to just try your best, have fun and just stay focused. That's good advice.

That's good advice. Yeah, we're also a bit older than you guys. So, you know, that Megan's knees are sore from Don Buck School, you know? So, yeah. And so we understand you've started your own committee. And we're talking to the market. manager and event coordinator of the handball-a-thon. It's been a pretty great experience to understand how fundraising works and to, you know,

how kids can on the things that they've given us. So, you know, it's our turn to help you guys. Oh, you're giving back. Have you got business cards? You need business cards. With marketing director. Well, we have posters. The posters.

Oh, that's good. Nice. If you hire us like a real hire We'll do a pretty good job Then we'll discuss business cards Sounds like it Well it's awesome that you're getting in behind it I know you guys love kids can

And what they do at your school Would you encourage other schools to get them behind it We would because it's also It's more just about what they've done for us But it's also about learning, responsibility And independence When I come to fundraising more that kind of stuff And what do you want to say to the other schools?

We want to say please get involved because it really means a lot and it's not just about helping kids but it's also taking a part of something meaningful and useful. And they're aiming to raise five grand so if your school think they can do better, hey, have at it. Yeah.

Yeah, nothing like pitting them all against each other, Megan. That gets fun raising results. That's a little bit of competition. That's right, a bit of healthy competition, you're right. Well, Nonga and Jai from Donbuck, Domberg Primary School, lovely to speak with you and good luck

with the fundraiser today, okay? Thank you. Have a good thing. You too. That's awesome what they're doing. But yeah, if you can help out, think about it right now, you know, as you're going to work,

the school, whatever. They're kids in New Zealand that are cold, they're hungry, that are going to school this morning without the basics. So if you can, go to kidscambal.org.

And make a donation. It will help outs. One and six Kiwi kids. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. A surfboard, which fell off a boat in Tasmania, 18 months ago, just turned up in Raglan. We saw the thought of it, with barnacles on it. Yeah, about 2,400 kilometres away.

The surfboard's like, where can I go? Where's the best place to surf? Yeah, we're headed to Raglan. And now it's going to be returned next week to its owner, which is pretty cool. Disney Pixar writing a movie as we speak. Probably you're right. The surfboard who got lost in the ocean and all the friends it made along the way. Yeah, well, a lot of barnacles, as you say, we'll stuck to the bottom of it.

No bites out of it from a shark or anything? No, it looks pretty good. No, I want to get into your eating regime. Are you eating the same thing every single day? You can text 4487-0-800-Huit. Megan, you shared something. Your consumption of... Cottage cheese.

It's up to how many kilograms a week? Well, between me and my husband, it's 4KJ. It's wild. That's a lot of cottage cheese. And so you're having cottage cheese and everything you eat. Yeah, so I don't just, like, spoon it out. I make things with it. So my protein pancakes in the morning, I make good cottage.

I make my grainy bread with cottage cheese. And I've just perfected a cheesecake. Now a lot of this is we must mention for dietary reasons. Yeah. But you've been told to change your diet, haven't you? What was that for? Pre-diabetes and cholesterol. And good on you for getting on to it.

Yeah, thanks. I'm in the green now. You don't need to panic. Well then stop eating the depressing food. No, but I... Get back on the burgers, babe. Then I can prep it. And I'm like,

Like, good to go. So same stuff every day. Yes, and I eat chicken soup for dinner every night. Every night? That I make, yeah. Every night? Yeah. Okay.

All right. But it's not uncommon because we had this conversation in the office yesterday. Harriet, our boss came in. She's here now. I have chicken and steamed vegetables every night. Every night. Just carrot, broccoli and cauliflower. I mean, great, but you know there's other options, right?

You know, but is this, why is that? We started it to be healthy, and it just became a habit. And now we just don't, if we don't have that, then we feel. shit. So is this just Monday to Friday? Monday to Friday. Do you break away on the weekends? Break away on the weekends.

Do you go crazy at the weekends? We kind of do. Then you claw it back. Okay. Yeah, there you go. That's why we can be healthy during the week. Because we know in the weekend we'll enjoy ourselves. Steams cauliflower's, whoa.

It's the old Jobsy effect, isn't it? Yeah. Steve Jobs will the same black, scivvy and blue jeans and shoes every day. Didn't you have to think about what he was putting on. Yeah. Same for food. I love wearing different clothes. Like, I love being creative with clothing.

Because you try and take them out For breakfast And they're like No I don't know I had the same thing I have my porridge And my black currants every morning, that's my dad.

And some sopping silver beet, you know, sitting in a puddle on the place. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits. You eat the same thing every single day, or whether you add a bit of variety into it. Yeah, cottage cheese, a big backer in Megan's side every day. Three cottage cheese base meals a day. Ending with a cottage cheese dessert. Yeah, it's, you knock it, but I'm going to bring it in for you. It's a cheesecake.

It is debon. I was always disappointing when I'll go in the fridge as a kid and you'd go, oh, yogurt. You need it. You're like, oh, his mom's got his cheese. It was big in the 80s. It was, yeah. My mom used to eat it in the 80s. It's made a real resurgence. I don't have anything against it's caught as cheese.

It reminds me of a medical sample, where the doctors, like, we need to send that off to the lab. Do you know, sometimes I go to the supermarket and there's none available because it's so popular? Really? Yeah. Is it in vogue at the moment? Is it cold out? Yeah. So, yeah, you're eating the same thing every day.

Boss, Harriet, same chicken meal every night. for dinner. Part of the thrill of dinner times going, what should we have? And everyone's like, I don't know. And then you suggest something. Everyone's like, nah, not that. Anything but that, suggest something else.

Nah, not that. While I'm making this. Oh, no, I don't want that. That's part of the thrill. You're right. Deborah, morning to you. Good morning. Are you?

Yeah, we're doing well. Debs, good to have you on. You've had the same thing every day for how long? Oh, well, my daughter. Oh, don't leave us on a cliffhanger, Debs. Oh, Debs. Sorry, sorry. Deb, you're right.

Are you too? Sorry, I'm just getting in the car. Oh, that's good. Shocking radio conditions, Debs. Sorry, that's Raglan for you and the What-Wop. Yeah, so my daughter is 17 on the 28th of December, so ever since I got pregnant with her, so it's actually almost 18 years.

I've been eating two ginger nuts and a dill martee every morning. So was it to do with the pregnancy? Was it? No, it was to do with, like, the ginger is calming when you're, have morning sickness. Gotcha. The tummy. Yeah.

And you just stuck it out. Stuck it. Oh, Dilma, great supporters of the show, which is awesome. It's great to see you got that in there. In fact, your investment in Dilma has probably paid for their partnership for the show, so thank you, Deborah. Exactly. But, yeah, the ginger nuts just really soothed the tummy, and it was just easy and quick when I was working and sick as a dog wanting to be over the toilet bowl. I'm just looking out there, and we've got five boxes, Delmar tea sitting out there.

We'll send them your way. Hold the line, all right? Oh, awesome. Thank you so much. Very welcome. Thank you, Deborah. Thanks for fighting through in Raglan. Let's get Emma on. How are you?

Hi, good. How are you? We're doing well, mate. Same meal every day. Another cliffhanger. I can't handle it. My heart can't take this. They really keep us hanging on, aren't they?
