Thanks to Hello Fresh. Cook easy, delicious dinners the whole family will love because nothing beats dinner time.
Good morning. Welcome to the podcast for your Friday slash little, no, Thursday.
Oh my God, it's Thursday.
Thursday. I thought it was Thursday yesterday.
I know, I've been a day ahead all week. I thought yesterday was Thursday.
Yeah, with you. Amen. Now, you've got a big day today.
You've got people coming around to take photos of your two lounges at your house.
So I believed it to be photos and I actually didn't think I was needed to be in the photo.
I've since learned it's a video that I am kind of hosting.
Why wouldn't they want you in the photos and or video?
Otherwise, it's like, this is Megan's house.
Is it?
I haven't seen her.
I haven't seen her sitting on the bloody Opperman.
It's an Offerman or something?
Ottoman.
Ottoman?
It's not Oppenheimer.
Draped over the Ottoman.
No, because it's for one roof, which is, you know, about property.
So I thought they just wanted to see pictures.
What am I supposed to do?
Like drape across my couch.
Exactly.
You were draping today.
Yeah.
And also people are just going to be very underwhelmed.
I'm like, I don't know.
With the house or with...
Yeah, and the garden looks like...
Well, they're underwhelmed.
House is a house.
You know, well, I'm not here to impress anyone.
It's where I live.
That's right.
That's it.
That's the...
But, you know, if you are going to put pictures of a house and you inside a house,
well then one roof, the real estate website is probably the ideal one to do it on.
Yeah.
So, like, if I was like, oh, here's a photo shoot 10 pages of Megan draped over
ottomans and kitchen benches and fast fours and rotaries magazine then i'd be thrown out i know but i
didn't think i'd need to do the draping i thought it was just going to be house pictures otherwise it's
just a house could be anyone's house i know but i'm like quoted saying this is my house but you could
have put pictures of a other superior house on to make it seem like that was your house which i would have
done how do we know if you're not in the pictures that's all i'm saying so what are you going to say
give us an example um they're asking what my favorite part of my house is and it's probably my
fruit trees because it was always
a dream when I was little. My appearance
we had a shed and lining the driveway
was phoedos and we'd go down and I'd just
eat tons of feijos
and then at my nana's house she had
a plum tree so I always
wanted my kids to be able to go outside and pick
some fruit and eat it straight off the tree.
You must have been incredibly
regular as a child. Yeah they always
used to say don't eat so much fruit
and then you'd get us all to me in the shits but that's fine
just worse things. I'm going to play some piano
music now and you go hey this is megan welcome to my
house and you just take it on a little tour hi this is megan from the hits welcome to my house this is
the entranceway to the first lounge which is actually just the lounge and if you walk through here
there's the kitchen with the the breakfast bar that's where we like to eat breakfast it's good
you're going to do a good job you got to do that it's like those ones what are those strange ones
when the magazine turns up and they're talking to the camera and they're like you're talking about
The Vogue?
Yeah.
The Vogue's 74 questions or something here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It'd be like one of those.
Good luck.
Thanks.
I hope that goes well today.
First on the podcast today is you getting a Francisco wing.
An absolute punish.
John O'Benn and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
Now Troy, producer Troy, we, have you been listening to the show the last few days,
we've been following Troy's experience with a gentleman called Francisco.
Francisco.
Where's your best go?
Personal trainer.
Went to the gym.
Troy, you go to Les Mills to turn up to a class
and you were paired up for the couple's session
with a PT named Francisco.
Yes, and he was not kind to me.
No.
He seemed lovely when we met him.
I know, and I'm so, no, I'm so annoyed
because he turned it on for the cameras.
Yeah, this is Francisco.
When I arrived, I usually go to the other end,
which is the heavier side,
not because I want to go heavy,
just because it's like, it's quieter, you know?
Yeah.
And that he was.
They was like, come on Troy, yeah, you're doing great, Troy.
Come on, Troy.
Yeah, I'm waiting for you, Troy.
So then four days after you couldn't walk.
It was hard.
I felt like you guys were a little bit mean to me, so I thought, well, come on, your turn.
Yeah, and the company were looking into wheelchair rental costs.
So we turned up to this gym, Megan then says, as we're walking into the gym.
I've subbed out, actually, because I'm not very well.
Got a little cold.
Yeah.
So I subbed out yesterday, but I got you a replacement.
Listen, this is her with her cold.
Savour, the flavour.
Savour.
We'll just do one more.
So she was actually sick, I'll give you that.
And then you're like, don't worry, I've got someone to fill in.
Matty Maclean, from the afternoon show.
Marathon Maddie.
Loves a marathon, very, very fit man.
The fittest man in media.
Yeah.
Mani, you're like, I'm going to get him to chime in with you.
So, we turned up to Les Mills.
And, gee, state-of-the-art technology at this gymnas.
It's a gym sent from the future.
And as I'm watching all of these gorgeous people wander around, you know, with muscles that they look, you know, they look like the muscles in the diagrams you see in the textbooks.
And I'm just thinking, producer Troy, he came from the West Coast, you know, coal mining heritage.
All I could think was generations of your family.
You know, your granddad probably squatted cows or something in a panic.
That's true, yeah, he did.
Bench-press tractors.
And I'm just looking around going, oh, Troy, so he's a long way from home here.
So we met Francisco walking into this incredible room like a nightclub.
Okay, we're just heading into the room with, uh, oh wow, it's very industrial black.
Looks like a nightclub with, with medieval torture equipment inside of it.
Pulsating music, at one point, I would have been in an environment like this at 4 o'clock in the morning
in a very different state of mind.
So Megan's deserted me and I feel like a pensionist standing in a nightclub.
club just waiting to find out who she's got to fill in for her oh okay here he is the fittest
person on station matty marathon mclean has come through okay then the class started you got a guy
with like a uh a microphone like a brittney mike brittney mike they're giving the countdowns on
the times and his name's cam and francisco's going away it's a lot it's a lot to download it's a
sensory overload.
All right, John,
here we go. People yelling at me on
microphones and chant hip-hop music as all.
Come on. Come on.
You said a minute, Francisco.
What?
What?
I'm lifting. A small track at the moment.
Come on, Jono.
45 seconds.
Come on!
I hate rowing, and everything it stands for.
And we've invented the sport rowing,
Deirdre rowing or William McRowing,
you can go and row row your boat, gently down the stream.
And get a fuck away from me.
So that was the experience.
That was me being Francisco'd hard.
Never heard you make those noises before.
I'd never heard them the noises coming.
Are they even noises?
What was that coming out of my mind?
Also, why were you wearing a jersey?
Maddie McLean turned up with the.
guns out. He was wearing a cinglet. He was making me feel
things I've never felt for him before.
And you were in a jersey.
Yeah, I forgot a t-shirt, to be honest.
Maddie McLean, he...
For a fit guy too, he was struggling, which made me feel
a little bit better. I hate you guys.
We would never do this on the drive show, ever.
Man, I don't know how John is doing it.
I didn't know either.
Do you need him to struggle to make you feel better?
Because that was his second gym class of the day.
That was Maddie's second gym class.
So, of course, he was going to struggle.
Anyway, I can barely move this morning.
Tomorrow is going to be worse.
I had to park in those special car parks out the front this morning
because I couldn't move my body.
John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast.
The Hits.
Trump was welcomed into the UK, but a pomp in ceremony.
He's having lunch, a very fancy lunch, with Camilla and King Charles.
He's still going to go on cancer treatment, King Charles.
Did you see the picture of the two of them in the car?
How's he looking?
Not wonderful.
He's definitely looked better.
Which one are you talking about?
one looks pale and one looks orange
incredibly tan you're on the opposite ends of the colour spectrum
and my king child's one actually look fine
he's just sitting next to someone who's incredibly yeah
and they printed out a massive
protesters printed out a massive
picture of him with Epstein
Trump and Epstein
put it across a paddock and we were just like
geez the printing job on that one
that would have been
I reckon you would have had to get a go fund me situation
to get the printing done on that one
the sign writers
I think a lot of people
put in money for that.
So what we want to do right now on the hits is
when you've accidentally triggered and an alarm.
This could be, you know, like airbags in your car,
oxygen masks on the plane,
emergency doors, panic buttons.
Just buttons that you knew you weren't supposed to push,
but you push them anyway.
Yeah. Because producer Troy,
actually, we'll get producer Troy in, geez,
producer Troy is the buddy backbone of content on this program at the moment.
You are getting your steps up.
You are getting your steps up, running to and from the studio.
Come in here, Troy, tell some more stuff.
stuff about your life.
The great thing actually about starting a new job is all my old stories and our new stories
again.
Yeah, great.
And then people have really enjoyed them and you're like, oh, they're so present when I
tell my stories now.
Wait until two years time.
I'm like, here he is again.
But yesterday we're in the car park and you were getting, you know, uncharacteristically
obnoxious about the fire safety system in this particular car park.
Yeah, there's this, the audio we're about to play, it was a video.
quite visual, so I'll try and describe it.
We'll put it up on the Hits Breakfast.
You can see it for yourself.
In our car park building, there's this, right by the elevators, there's this kind of cover,
this plastic cover, that says lift an emergency to access key.
Okay.
Is there a key underneath it?
You assume there's a key underneath it.
There's something underneath it, but it's a clear plastic cover, and there's nothing
on the other side of it.
Oh.
But then right to the left of it is what looks like a key.
And he, so I'll walk up to him and he's like, oh, look at this.
Look at what these idiots have done.
This is meant to be over the top of that thing.
He's like, it's just an empty box.
Okay, so that's the scene.
The scene is set.
It's the Auckland Convention Centre, so I'm going on about the money they've spent on this place
and they can't get a couple of idiots to get this thing right.
Have a listen.
So, Troy, Troy was just mocking.
What were you mocking there, producer Troy?
I'm the same.
We've got lift lid to access key.
You're thinking this needs to be a cover for this.
Yeah, right.
Because it's like lift, but there's nothing in there.
And then what does it do?
So it does have a purpose.
It's got a big purpose.
It's going to be purpose.
Yeah.
Save to say, in 2025, the people who put in the fire extinguishes stuff know what they're doing.
Would you admit that, Troy?
I don't admit that.
So you lift the lid and it opens and it sounds and alarm goes off.
That's not a key, is it?
Not a key, but maybe it's an audio key for the fire brigade.
Thank you.
If anything, I think they've overcompensated.
They've got that.
They've got the smash the glass flick switch.
They've got like 19 fire extinguishes.
They've gone overboard.
I should say lift for alarm, to be fair.
They're covering all their bases.
Do an activity to bring the fire brigade here.
So what have you accidentally triggered?
You can text 4487.
0800 of the hits.
We have a little panic alarm in the studio under,
is it still there under your desk?
Which you, back in the day, pushed accidentally
and people turned up asking if we're okay.
It is here.
And it alerts.
security company.
Don't push it.
Well, no, every time I've pushed it, no one's come.
They're not worth saving.
Do you want to, okay, push it?
No, it does nothing.
It doesn't make any noise or anything.
It's not supposed to make a noise because it's supposed to be a panic.
He's silent, so if anything happens, you can push it.
A friend of ours just texts in Sharon.
She's just saying, I set off my dad's car alarm during his very important bowl's final.
The lawn bowl's final.
And he obviously has to go sort out the car.
John O'Benon and Megan, the podcast.
The Hits.
There is a new speech.
camera is rolled out on trailers.
Ten of them that were launched yesterday.
I showed you a picture of them.
They kind of just look
like something from...
You remember the Twister movie?
Yeah, they do look like for the Twister movie.
They put all their weird twister equipment in there,
didn't they?
The tornado chasing equipment.
But if you see one parked on the side of the road,
you'll know.
I thought the vans would probably be a better system.
You know how they had the vans
with the tinted windows and they put a camera in?
Yeah, well, this is what the NZTA
have taken over speed cameras
is what they're rolling out.
but they can get you in both directions.
Money grubbing.
Three hundred meters away.
Three hundred meters away.
Yeah.
Be warned.
Money grabbing off us,
innocent motorists.
Ooh,
just trying to get from A to B.
Do you ever hear one of those vans down the road from my house
and someone kept putting a towel over the back window?
Oh my God.
Then go back the next day, the towel will be gone and then the towel will come back on.
All the technology and it can be taken off by a towel.
I actually love that.
A win for the people.
So, yeah, what we're doing right now,
accidentally triggered on 0800 the hits 4487 some magnificent texts coming through
here without me knowing my toddler pushed the emergency button at a massive museum in
Australia whole place was evacuated oh my god do they get in trouble well I guess
yeah just apologize can't yeah it does cost though doesn't it when the appliances
come out also I'm currently sitting next to my workmate in a vehicle and he triggers me every
day great text appreciate it Brett morning to you
How are you?
More.
Fun, I am fantastic.
Hey, I just want to put out two dogs to the eight-year-old
that triggered that man to vacation.
Oh, yeah, we're going to be talking very shortly.
Next, actually, after you.
Yeah, it's a great story.
Did you trigger something accidentally, Brett?
Yeah, so, hey, listen, I've been doing this every morning.
I walk into work, I punt in the alarm code,
and I carry a phone on business.
All right.
Oh, you're fantastic idea, just to walk in, and I'm alarmed.
Oh, your phone's cutting out.
What did you say?
You're pushing the alarm code, yeah?
Yeah, I punched in the alarm code
normally every morning, but this morning
for some reason I'm going to be a fantastic idea
just to walk in the building and not on alarm it.
And boom, booh!
Yeah, now I've got to wait for a security company to turn it.
It's so disorientating too.
You know the code, but as soon as the alarm goes off,
you're like, what's the code?
Yeah, I did that at my son's school too on the weekend once.
Yeah.
Set off the alarm?
Yeah, we're trying to get into the gym.
And I wish it all sounds very unusual really, though.
I shouldn't be there on the weekend.
Did you have permission to get into the gym?
Well, yeah, who knows?
What is permission?
You know, what is permission, Megan?
I'm saying you can. Maybe a key, you know.
It's all in the eye of the beholder permission, isn't it?
Nixon, good morning.
Good morning.
Good to have you on.
Now, you sound a little bit underaged.
What have you?
Yeah.
Nixon, how old are you?
Eight.
Eight.
What have you accidentally triggered Nixon?
At school, I purposely triggered the fire alarm and you should have saw all the people
pull up at my school.
You should have saw it.
I can hear someone in the background go, no, you accidentally.
You accidentally did that.
Listen to him.
They finally asked you to leave that school.
Did you get expelled Nixon?
Yeah.
Oh, everybody.
She was asked nicely to.
leave and we chose to leave
you should have seen who turned up
who turned up Nixon who turned up Nixon
the fire brigade
yeah and did all the school have to go out of the classroom
and wait on the field
yeah
I want to say have we learned that that's not
what we're supposed to do Nixon or
no
no no I think we're going to hear from Nixon
on the news in about 10 years
now it's taking us to you John O
I'm taking us for you, Donna.
Don't you put words in his mouth.
That is very funny.
Well, Nixon, you know, you don't go flicking off fire alarms, do we, buddy?
No.
Not anymore.
She's good at her new school.
Oh, good on you.
Hey, good on you, Nixon.
Have a great day at school, mate.
Bye.
John O'Ben and Megan.
The podcast.
The hit.
Oh, yesterday, producer Troy will bring you in here.
Producer Troy's the partner of the year, we're saying.
Yeah, what's he doing?
He's been with his partner in need for six months, and he has downloaded the
app Stardust him and his partner and it is period tracker so she inputs all the details and he gets
notifications on like today's day one maybe she needs some chocolate we've found out she can cast spells
on things that she feels like she needs on that day yes and that gives me like a very subtle
notification being like hmm i think neve might need chocolate today and you provided a steak meal
when iron deficiency iron was on day one day one it's very helpful for me as a man to know
subtly what's going on in her world
without having to have an awkward conversation. I think it's very
sweet of you and I know listen
you two are going to have a long fruitful relationship
but God forbid if the relationship
ever ends do you still keep the app running
oh I see
texting your partner watch out today buddy
might be wanting to go to the butchers my
friend get yourself an
eye for it
anyway you gave us a task which I don't know why
to go home and ask our
partners if they would like to get involved
in the program. The thing is, it's very
different for me and you. So if I ask
my partner, I'm like, I'm going to download this, can I
tap you in? That's very different to you
asking your wife if you
can track her. Amen. Amen.
I completely agree.
And so listen, the hard thing is
coming in with this content and trying to make it sound
natural. Just, you know, this is during
after dinner clean up,
so it's like, I'll try and just sort of segue it
into conversation. And this is
how it went down with my wife
Jennifer, have a listen.
Would you mind if I
track your mental cycle?
Why, would you like to do that?
I'm quite capable of doing myself.
I just want to keep on top of it.
Nope.
Absolutely no.
Are you having it now?
I'd just turn that off if I were you.
I know you're recording me.
Hard no. Hard no.
So listen, I can't.
You went into that terribly.
I did.
Would you mind if I'd like, bug her off?
Yeah, no, that was the response I was expecting, really.
So there we go, I can't.
All I'm trying to be is the perfect partner, Troy.
Try.
Can I caveat my with, this was very late at night.
It was right before I went to bed that I remembered,
I was supposed to be doing this.
Okay.
So I'm like, I'm about to go to sleep.
Kind of.
Do you know, in my mind, I was like, talk like you're on the radio,
so people aren't, like, gross.
But I was in bed.
I've forgotten I was supposed to do this
This always feels like a party
You weren't meant to be invited to
When you hear these sorts of conversations
Between Megan and her husband Andrew
Okay sorry
It's like they've just come off a very thorough yoga session
Have a listen
If I got a period tracker app
Would you download that too
What makes you think I'm not already tracking it
You are not
I don't need a tracker app
I can sense it from here
But it
It like
Gives you like
Notifications and stuff
You give me your own notifications
Babe
Shut up
Not I don't
Like what
I'd do it for you baby
Don't sass me
And then change your tune
I love it how it starts off
Shut up
I do not
That's a really good insight
Yeah
It was great
Sounds like you both are like
Pretty heavy
medication there, pain kill them.
I've been sick and it was late
and I was like ready to go to sleep.
So there we go, Troy.
Sounds like that's just a youth thing. I'm sorry.
It's all good.
John O'Ben and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
Jerry has resigned from Ben and Jerry's.
He has released a statement
after 47 years. He's made the difficult decision
to step down. So it's just Ben and.
Ben and. That's the new brand.
That's pain in the ass of the packaging
too. Yeah. Yeah.
So, and that's because the bigger company
wasn't on board with who actually owned Ben and Jerry's.
Something like that.
Yeah, was that there?
They need another J.
You could step in there, Ben and Jono's.
A lot of people actually get...
Oh, there's Jono and Ben Ben.
Yeah, no, honestly, genuinely say this.
I've had probably over 20 people go, love your ice cream.
Are you joking?
I take credit for it too.
I'm polite.
So what's your favourite flavour?
I like the cookie dough one.
Yeah, that's one of my personal faves.
And I've been with you, people call you Ben all the time too.
They just get confused.
Just politely smile and nod.
That's what you do.
Now, Francisco, which you're going to hear from very shortly.
Francisco, personal trainer from Les Mills, Jim,
he really personally trained the heck out of producer Troy
to the point where Troy couldn't even walk.
So three or four days he was incapacitated.
Is that the right word?
Yeah.
Okay, great.
He couldn't move, he couldn't squat down, couldn't go to the loo.
Yeah.
He was hobbling just to walk.
Needed assistance.
So you're going to hear audio of, um,
of what we were like yesterday at the gym.
It was intense.
It was really intense.
You got a Francis going.
Right, John, here we go.
People yelling at me on microphone.
Intent hip-hop music at all.
A lot of puffing, a lot of painting and stuff.
But what I actually wanted to talk to you about is after that experience, obviously, you know, a lot of body fluids soaking every inch of every item of clothing I had on my body.
yeah it was and to the point where producer Troy said as we're leaving he saw one of the the poor workers at Les Mills having to put on rubber gloves and just sort of wipe down where to clean up where you'd been yeah that's how bad it was so it was yeah it was yeah it was grotesque it was high moisture content but then I had to go from there to another appointment so I couldn't just swing by home or do anything but I did you bring a change of clothes yes I did so in the car and so
the undergarments obviously were affected by this workout so I had a spare pair and I had a park in mind that I had seen previously had like you know public toilets and changing rooms and stuff I was like I'll swing by this park on the way put on some clothes boom go to the appointment and so what do you mean what do I mean what do I mean changing rooms at the gym but I didn't my clothes are in the boot of my car like half a kilometre away so you plan to get changed at the park but you didn't plan to take your bag to the gym correct and then I was
thinking my thinking my logic was i'll be too sweaty to get into new clothes directly after so then
the time between leaving the gym and then getting to this public changing room the body would
have cooled down okay do you see my logic so i yeah sort of so then i arrive at this park and then
all the steel doors on the public door that they've got padlocks on so they're locked i'm like
oh oh so what i had it was an empty park so it's empty until someone walks through i sat in the car
in the driver's seat and
fully changed.
Now the top half's fine.
You never want to be fully naked as a middle-aged white man
in a vehicle at a park.
Fully.
Partially's fine.
You can, you know, people will turn a blind eye
or partially naked, not fully.
Really important question.
Was there a playground?
No one was on it.
Obviously, if there were people there,
I wouldn't have done this.
Oh, my.
So I had put on my fresh top.
And then it was this is the big pivotal moment.
where you have to remove the bottoms
and then there's those, there's that moment
where your bottom half
is exposed. Top half clothes
belly button down
and so then I'm having to
panic, panic put on
underpants in the driver's seat. You had a top on.
Yeah, I had a top on. So you're Donald Ducking.
Donald Ducking, yeah.
Had a bug. And at no point
did anyone come? But then you drive
away from there, you're like, I hope there wasn't CTV.
I hope no one was filming from a distance.
I just still can't believe that you thought that was a good plan,
but getting changed at the gym, wasn't.
Too sweet.
I told you why, giving you my reasons.
They'll stack up in court.
The judge will be like, you know, I get that.
Because then you're sweating on your new clean clothes.
That is a matter of time before you get done for something like that.
I've seen you get changed in public places so many times.
Definitely on a community Facebook page or something at the moment.
John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast.

No, when you're watching it, it's actually got a really good messaging.
Yeah.

John O'Ben and Megan
The podcast
We are talking the most quotable movies today
Yeah, my daughter, Poppy
consistently around the household, day-to-day life
Anytime I pitch anything to her
All I met with is quotes from the movie Mean Girls
So we'll see you tomorrow
On Wednesdays we wear pink
So not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom
I can't go out.
I'm sick.
That is so fetch.
Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen.
Yeah, so the movies that you quote all the time, before we get into it, we must get Kelsey on.
It's lovely to have you on the show, Kelsey.
How are you?
Oh, I'm doing good this morning.
You're a huge fan of mean girls as well, but you had an absolute catastrophe happen.
Yeah, an awkward way to get to know the other parents at my kids' school.
Um, for my daughter's first year at school, she wanted me to go to the Halloween disco with her and wanted me to dress up.
So I decided to dress up as the guy, um, during the, she doesn't even go here, seen?
Oh, from mean girls, we've got the audio here.
Had of rainbows and smiles and we'd all be happy.
She doesn't even go here.
All right, so very niche character, very niche.
Very niche character.
So I have a blue hoodie with the hood pulled tight around my face.
sunglasses on and I
really thought that other
moms my age would have got
the joke because back in the States
it's all that we quoted
for years and
no one got the reference and I looked like
a freaking creep. Just standing in a hoodie and sunny's at a kids'
disco. Yeah it's a risky costume because
you do look like a creep at least people get it.
I would have got it. You're my hero for that.
Yeah, I should have made a sign that said the quote.
Yeah, in hindsight
There was some learnings you took away from that.
Oh, Kelsey, it's very funny.
Appreciate your phoning through.
Yep, no, thank you guys.
Have a good day.
All right, the movies that you quote all the time.
Sheree, come at us with a quote.
What is it?
Let me think about it.
I keep forgetting it.
But anyway, it must be a memorable one.
No, exactly.
Now I can't even remember it.
And I teach like this all the time.
Okay, so this is the quote.
This is the quote.
Food is fuel now.
Shut up and eat your garbage.
Oh.
Food is fuel.
Now shut up and eat your gab.
I don't know what movie that's from.
Raditoi?
Yeah.
Oh, he's got it.
Yeah, producer Troy's got us this.
Food is fuel.
You get picky about what you put in a tank.
Your engine is going to die.
Now shut up and eat your garbage.
Oh, that's nice.
Sure, he's like, oh, that brings me a lot of joy.
Still cracks her up to this day.
Good on you, mate.
Appreciate you call.
Sean, you're on.
The movie quote you use all the time.
Hey there.
It's, uh, Dressed.
What do you mean, Drift?
Drift.
What do you mean?
I'm fast and furious?
Yeah, buddy.
Yeah, boy.
Drift kid.
Drift.
What do you mean, Drift?
And you do your rendition of it, sir, Sean?
Dress.
What do you mean, Dreef?
Bang on.
Bang on.
Thank you.
Oh, you're going to have a great day, Sean, bringing us a lot of joy this morning.
Grant, the movie quote you're using all the time, mate?
I'm old, not obsolete.
Oh, jeez.
Oh, that rings a bell.
I'm old, not obsolete.
I'm terrible at movies.
I've seen, you know, up until a few years ago, the only movie I'd seen was Soulplane,
with Snoop Dog as a pilot.
That was a hell of a movie.
I'll give you a clue.
I'm old, not obsolete.
Oh, does it sound like a...
Like a mafia type movie?
What is it, Grant?
What is it?
Terminator.
Oh, yeah, see, I'm shocking with movies.
They're not obsolete.
Not yet.
Oh, that was, now do your rendition, Grant?
I'm old, not obsolete.
That's good.
Yeah, that was good.
Yeah, with the passion of Arnie as well.
Love it.
John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast.
The Hats.
Now, Megan, as you can tell,
probably sounds somewhat congested to your usual Dolphi.
tones on the radio.
I'm doing my best.
Yeah, you are, and you're plowing on.
I appreciate it.
Yesterday we had to record some adverts after the program,
and this is what I was listening to,
surround sound, Dolby Digital surround sound.
This is us practicing the ad.
Savor, the flavor.
Savor.
We just do one more.
Sorry.
No, that's good.
It's really nice.
More of it.
So that was
like, poor microphones.
I'm going to go out
and I'm going to have a great career as a microphone.
I moved away from the microphone
and I sanitised afterwards.
So then I was labelled the A-hole of the show.
Not after that.
What you didn't hear while we were recording that ad
is that moments before it,
producer Troy was in here.
He comes in after the show
and he has a to-do list for us
and he keeps a tight ship.
Lovely guy, Troy.
Run through all these things.
I'm sitting here listening to everyone.
word that producer Troy
has to say. So he's sitting here,
running through, these are what you have to record.
Do this, this, this. And
in that moment, we hear a
what's your ringtone?
Just a normal ringtone.
Yeah, that'll do.
And in mid-conversation, mid-to-do list
about work, very important work to do,
Jono answers his phone. It's like,
can I, mate, yeah,
walks off and Troy
is the one apologising going, oh sorry
Jono, I interrupted you all. I think it was
worse than that. I don't even think we heard a ringtone or
anything. I was mid-flow, and then
Johna just arrogantly goes,
hey good out, mate, how are you going?
Listen,
all of that happened. All of that was happened.
It was my son. You know?
It was my son. So, sorry
for being, it could have been something important.
He's a teenage boy. He could have been halfway
through a ram rate going, I'm in the jewelry store.
What do you want, mate?
You know what teenage boys are up to nowadays?
Oh, give you a gold necklace, buddy. Thank you.
It could have been anything.
Could have been anything.
You should have said sorry, Troy.
It's my son.
Can you excuse me for a moment?
I love Troy, but, you know, this may shock you.
I love my son a little bit more.
So I'm always going to answer a phone over Troy telling me what is on our to do list.
You just mid-meeting answer your phone and walk away.
And Troy was the one that said, sorry, Jono.
Okay.
Next time, next time my son's, you know, out there.
Are you joking?
Hey mate, how are you?
Doing well?
Yeah, good.
Alright, we're gonna finish this off later.
News is coming up, Nees.
