Yeah. Dating shows. Big at the moment. Married at first sight. New Zealand's back. And some of the old moments from The Bachelor. Do you remember the one that was like, he chose her, then dumped her the next day? Oh, that was so scandalous. her, then dumped her the next day?

Oh, that was so scandalous. Oh, yeah. It was beautiful. Yeah. I was just watching that back. That was heartbreaking. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Hey, as I said before, heading into a long weekend, seems to be teachers only day for, is it all schools? Poppy's got one today. I was like, they just bloody come up and they're like, hey, by the way,

teachers only day tomorrow. And you're like, what? Have you just decided you want Friday off? Yeah. Well, no, my wife's a teacher. She's like, no, we're definitely in there and we have it's compulsory we're in there because i was like oh look at friday off i i see what you've done here in the long weekend she's like no we're there we've got a whole lot of stuff we need to do it feels like there's been more teachers only days than ever before but hey maybe we're just paying attention to them uh because we have kids now. Yeah, well, true. Now, heading into Friday, we like to do this.

It is Friday Flashback. We like to look back at something from yesteryear because, as you said before, Married at First Sight New Zealand, back on screens, a dating reality show. We thought we'd look back at an iconic dating show that ran for many, many years and many seasons here in New Zealand The Bachelor or The Bachelorette

we had that version as well were you a fan of The Bachelor Megan? I loved The Bachelor it was bloody good actually looking back at it it had a bit of controversy bit of spice Art Green and Matilda

you know they're still together yeah Ben always gives me grief I know what he's going to say at the time okay I'll front foot it At the time I was like

Mediaworks TV3 Who ran the show I was like They've made them sign a contract To stay together To pretend they're in love And I believe that contract

Have you said that to Art And Matilda's face Yeah I said it to his face Did you To both of their faces And then It's a long 20 year contract The more babies I have

The less faith I have In that claim They seem to be doing great like they moved up north they bought a house they're really committed to their contract

it's all in the T's and C's mate okay so the first one we want to have a look at is actually Art Green and one of the dates he went on that wasn't with Matilda

now I have listened to this back this is a stitch up absolute stitch up in the edit on this poor lady Poppy. They're on a date. They're in a lovely little sort of riverside on a grassy knoll.

Blanket picnic laid out. Have a listen to this. I've heard of carpentries are probably my favourite trees. Yeah? Yeah. Actually. This is pretty magical. Yeah it is, isn't it?

Did you just fart? Poppy lets out a little fart that is just so funny. I flipped in the sand. Squeaky sand, eh? But I love the way she just owned up to it, and it was hilarious. It's always a matter of time before someone farts in front of someone else, isn't it? Usually it's not the first date. Stitch up.

That's definitely a sound effect. That's definitely be added later. But do you reckon Megan Do you think they just Made the fart worse Oh yes They still reference That she farted

Yeah Maybe it wasn't audible No no like They're talking about it And maybe it wasn't audible So they had to add A little something Oh yeah

They're like But that's always the thing They're like If you don't say it On reality TV Then we can't put it Well they clearly Can't put it in

Yeah Stitch up Poor big popper there. Next one. Next one. Fleur and Jordan. So Jordan Major was the Bachelor. Fleur was the lady he chose, and she was an absolute wonderful human being. And then the next day, he dumped her.

And this was rolling live coverage on the news. Jordan came to visit me and he's pretty much kind of explained how he's been feeling and that he's decided that his feelings aren't mutual, unfortunately. So, yeah, we've decided that, well, he's decided that he wants to leave it, go our separate ways. Yeah, not the greatest, but it is what it is, I guess. It's heartbreaking going through the whole series and to get to that and be the one. But I've always found it weird that they're like, here's a group of women and you must find someone out of that bunch. Like, what if you genuinely don't have a connection with any of them? Well, he didn't, and that's what happened.

Who was the Australian bachelor, that rugby dude? What's his face? And he didn't choose anyone. The grubby badger, is it? The honey badger. Honey badger. I respect him for that. He was like, no, I don't connect with any of them.

Do you know, we went on it when we were at the Edge radio station, Fleur, we were on the boat. We were on a boat with listeners. It was like a Geordie Shore party, someone from the Geordie Shore over. It was a big occasion. Boat party, yeah. So Geordie Shore over. It was, yeah, it was a big occasion. Boat party, yeah. And so we were actually just on the bottom deck talking with Fleur.

She's a lovely lady. Have a good chat. She was. And then some animal from above turned around and they vomited off the top deck. Oh my God. And it went all down Fleur's hair and her back. Because I think they thought it must have gone out

towards the ocean. But it wasn't. There was a whole other deck. And we were like, oh, dear God. And even then, she was like, it's okay. It's fine. She was so lovely. We got her a new shirt and stuff.

Yeah, she was like, it's fine. I was like, mate, so sorry. High-caliber parties. Yeah, definitely. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I think Flybuys is going to be ending up. Is it? Yeah.

Oh, my mum will be devoured. Love the fly-by's, did Ray Ray. Yeah, she did. After 30 years, fly-by's has just announced its closure. Yeah, so. It's sad. Every day there's something that's announcing its closure at the moment. I know, but do you use fly-by's?

No, I keep feeling like, because we get asked that question a lot, and I keep going, I really should get on to that. Yeah. After 30 years. Ouch, yeah, you should have. I could have had a lot of fly-by I really should get on to that yeah 30 years ouch yeah you should have I could have had a lot of flybys

over the years what were they what did you get for them you can get all kinds of things like appliances but you also

could accrue points every time you use it and to potentially fly away somewhere yeah all those trips we could have had and we didn't do it

so yeah it's a constant question at the petrol station do you have flybys I'm like no I'm the same as you Ben. We need to sign up for flybys. You can do air points though as well, right?

What are they putting it down to? Because I know Woolies came and swung in a brand new card, didn't they? They've got like some orange card. Everyday rewards. I haven't signed up for that. So again, for the next 30 years, have you got your everyday rewards card? No. are they putting

down to competition in the market I'm not entirely sure it's just it feels like at the moment it's tough as you said

before tough for a lot of businesses so maybe the popularity wasn't used to be massive so it's really sad when these

things happen alright now best weekend this is what we're doing you can phone up and brag about your best weekend we won't

judge we might get jealous though if you're having a better weekend than us we've had some great stuff in the past. Had a lady off to Mexico to buy herself an exotic reptile. That's right. Never found out how that went.

Yeah. That was a genuine call, right? We had 96-year-old birthday parties. We've had it all. And Carol, the wonderful Carol. It's great to hear your voice. Good morning. How are you?

Carol tunes in early in the morning, every morning, don't you, Carol? Oh, yeah, well, I'm up at 4 o'clock every morning, and I'm off to work at 6 every morning, so... Whereabouts do you work? Thames, wherever I need to go, wherever the bosses decide they're going to send me. Right, so you've got two hours from waking up and then leaving for work. What are you doing over two hours at 4 o'clock in the morning?

You should get up and have a shower and then think about getting organised for work. It's been 90 minutes. I feel like you could cut that down a bit and sleep longer. I've got to think about these things for a while. Just sit there staring dead in the eyes. Pondering life. We get it.

So what are you doing this weekend? What's the exciting thing to look forward to? Work. Okay. You you doing this weekend? What's the exciting thing to look forward to? Work. Okay. You thinking about that now? Is it part of your 90 minutes right now

or are you actually getting into it? Oh I might if I wake up early I might get a chance to watch a bit of Netflix if I'm lucky.

Alright Carol you're making use of those two hours at four o'clock in the morning. Well you have a wonderful weekend. As always I appreciate you listening Carol. We're going to of those two hours at 4 o'clock in the morning. Well, you have a wonderful weekend. As always, appreciate you listening, Carol. We're going to hook you up with some hell pizza for your weekend as well.

Yeah, good on you. Cody Wellington. Cody, our only other listener. These are two morning listeners. What would we do without Carol and Cody? Cody, it's lovely to hear your voice again. Hi, babes. Oh, good morning, guys.

It might be easier to voice memo you the show, baby. We talk for a moment. Yeah, I could do that. It might be easier to voice memo you the show, maybe. We talk for a moment. Yeah, I could do. What have you got on this weekend, Cody? So we're looking at going up to National Park for a day, just day trip to Skype to the snow. Oh, nice. Oh, beautiful.

Are you a skiing family? No, so I've got a buggered hip, so I can hardly walk around too far, but I do enjoy just going and playing in the snow. Yeah. Snow's a lot colder than you think it is. And a lot harder, too. I think most people think it's going to be pretty cold. But also, the snowballs on the movies, the fights look great.

They look fun. And the kids got me in the face the first time. It was like, bang! It was like a rock. Yeah, it really hurts. Be careful. You've been warned, Cody. No snowball fights.

Yeah, we're going to hook you up with some hell pizza. We appreciate you listening early in the morning. Thank you. Oh, now we're getting another call. Let's get another call. Well, should we take one more just to prove that we have more than Carol and Cody listening? Okay, Natasha. Natasha, how many times have we spoken to you, Natasha?

Probably way too many, but that's okay. I love talking to you guys. Carol, Cody, Natasha. A loyal friend. A six o'clock club. We love it. All right, what are you doing this weekend? Well, we've got my father-in-law's 80th birthday party on Saturday night,

so the kids are coming up. Yeah, I've got some weeding to do, some housework, grocery shopping, all those exciting things that you do in the long weekend. Weeding is a nightmare. I just spray a whole bunch of pesticide on it. I just always think you pull it out, but they grow back, so I'll just leave them. Sometimes they look quite pretty.

Yeah, what's up with it? Why do they grow back? I mean, the only way to get rid of them is to actually spray them with pesticide, and my husband loves doing that. Also, I planted what I thought was a fern in a pot plant. I was like, oh, there's a fern growing out here, so I planted it. I texted my mum. She's like, that's a weed. So I have aern in a pot plant. I was like, oh, there's a fern growing out here. So I planted it and texted my mum. She's like, that's a weed.

So I have a weed in a pot in my house. Ben, you raise a good point. If you ride it out, they kind of flower and they turn into beautiful. Yeah, yeah, great. Hey, we're going to hook you up, Natasha, with some hell pizza as well. The best damn pizza in this lifetime and next. Have a great weekend. You too, guys.

Thank you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. This has made us laugh this morning. There's a guy in Michigan in the United States of America. He had his license suspended. He was at court hearing and he was allowed to do it over Zoom for his court hearing. And so he's Zooming into the court to the judge, having a conversation, have a listen to where he was.

Mr. Harris, are you driving? Actually, I'm pulling into my doctor's office, actually. This is a driver with a license suspended, and he was just driving, and he didn't have a license. Oh. How good, but also how bad at the same time. You're in court for driving without a license. Are you driving, sir?

I'm just pulling over. You'd think he would have got off the Zoom. Was that him at the end going, sir? I'm just pulling over. You'd think he would have got off the Zoom. Was that him at the end going, oh. Damn, you got me, you got me. Just pulling over as we speak. Maybe he just had so much stuff on his to-do list that day and he forgot what he was up on charges for. Always important to remember.

Yeah, you don't want to be in a bank with a balaclava on, do you, on a Zoom and defending any armed robbery charges. Zoom has really tripped up a lot of people, unnecessarily on so many occasions, right? Yeah. Over lockdown too, a lot of people would just work with no trousers. Well, they had trousers on, but, you know, just put a shirt and tie on and put a lovely blazer on.

Or you always hear when partners would think it was just an audio call and they'd be getting changed in the background if someone's Zoom and stuff like that. Well, then there was a video of a guy making annoying, suggestive noises in the background as his wife was on a very important, felt like an executive meeting. He's going, you know, you know what he's doing in the background.

Just bored him, too, because you couldn't do anything else. He's like, oh, well, I may as well just annoy the person I'm stuck in this house with. How was your lockdown? It was pretty good. We did a lot of baking. There was a lot of cocktails consumed. I drank a lot of strawberry daiquiris.

So you were coming in here doing radio too? Yeah, we were lucky. We got to come in. We were, yeah. I mean, lucky there was no one else around. Yeah, different time. It was just little bubbles. It's a weird time to look back on.

When you guys first started, we weren't even allowed to come over and say hi. No, we time. It was just little bubbles. It's a weird time to look back on. Because you guys first started, we weren't even allowed to come over and say hi. No, we were in lockdown. We started at the company and it was only like four of us were allowed in our little bubble here. No one else could work in the building. We could see you.

Apart from the radio shows and even then you had to sort of go out a door from another show and all that sorts of stuff. It was wild times. I wore gloves. He did. Wait, what?

Lycra. He did for ages. I got in my head about the COVID. I'd wear like Lycra gloves. What's the Lycra going to do? Well, that's why I think he got to a point where like, why are you doing it? But everyone's like, yeah, he wears gloves. Surgical gloves.

It looked like I was on the way to an operation or something. For ages too. This is the first meeting of people like, okay. Yeah, the first time in a workplace and everyone's like, this is this weird glove guy. Glove guy. Do you need your prostate checked I'm your guy could do it any

moment any time the hits the Jono and Ben podcast the music awards the last night the Aotearoa music awards were on

the best Kaylee Bell country singer Stan Walker emerged as some of the big winners from last night and including

ourselves we didn't even know we were nominated yeah that's it's great when you have a career and you don't even know you've got one there, Ben. I would have gone along to the ceremony if I'd known that we were going to be part of it. So last night, prestigious music awards, Jesse Mulligan, you know, for the project, comedian,

broadcaster, well, he had the best up on stage, right? Yeah, now Beth's the duo. Liz and Jonathan are the members' names of the Beths. They unfortunately couldn't be there. I think they're in America recording or touring or something. So some other people walked on stage and accepted the award for them. But then we took the limelight, right? Yeah, have a listen.

Guys, apologies for the weird half hug from me. It's great to see you both. Congratulations to you. And I know Jono and Ben are in LA songwriting at the moment. Is that right? Yeah, Liz and Jon are over in LA they're in the big smoke Liz and Jon

I like the way he kind of corrected Jesse he was like no no Liz and Jon but anyway yeah we are we've been over closest we'll get

to a musical I mean these mics sound great from broadcasting in LA don't they where we are this morning you wouldn't even know but I can see

because the gentleman who was accepting the award on behalf he looked like me didn't he easily confused I can see how Jesse ended up there

but he did a wonderful job and him and Cara both did a wonderful job of hosting that the music awards we've done it once bloody stressful it is

do you get goodie bags though don't you well I used to a couple of Mentos and a Connie cost of living might have changed that Now we are heading into the weekend A long weekend

A lot of people getting out and about And I saw this on social media From someone called Hurley Quinn posted that Songs that never fail to make white people turnt So these are songs that white people will go crazy for Turnt feels like a word that's gone through the wave of popularity. It's come out the back end and we can say it safely now. Yeah, it feels like it.

So if these songs come on, you can imagine a whole collection of white people would love the crap out of it. So I want to test it on you guys. Now I'm going to feel self-conscious if I want to get turnt. So these songs. Let's quickly go through a few of the hooks. Here's one. We're halfway there. Jono, even when we're MC, you play that half-time, don't you?

Like, we need to get that on and play that for the crowd. Get everyone on their feet. Jesus, tell you what, and nothing gets people just shit. Like, white people turn to basically just white people shouting words and pointing to the ceiling and hugging other people. So that's a tick. That was the best song ever, right, for the hits. How about this one?

Oh! Can't get past this. There you go. Play that at a sporting occasion, sweet Caroline. White people love it. Suddenly we all do air guitar. This is white people turn. I've just looked on Apple.

There's a white people turn playlist as well. Oh, yeah. Oh, Asus. Oh, Asus. Sorry, Taylor. Taylor's talking in my ear. Producer Taylor's Oh, Isis. Oh, Isis. Sorry, Taylor. You're coming to... Taylor's talking in my ear. Producer Taylor's like,

this is what old people saw. She's saying this is old people too. Excuse me. Taylor. Come on here. Well, I guess stop playing ever though.

We'll stop playing ever. We're trying to make a point here. Let's not attach a race to this. This is purely generational. This is old people getting to... I'm trying to look at the list because it's quite a comprehensive list. Shut up, Tate.

See? Another old song. There's not too many that have been made over the last... Do you like Drops of Jupiter by Train? No, I don't know about Con Night Joe. No, no, no, no, no. I don't know about Con Night Joe. That's embarrassing.

These are... Way to kill the vibe. The white people are loving the crap out of that, Taylor. Jesus. This is my funeral playlist, to be honest. You're having a thousand miles at your funeral. Yeah, it's depressing. All that was.

Do you know, there's all the songs that are playing after 9 o'clock this morning on the hits. So, welcome to your funeral, mate. This might be your last day here as well too Friday faves on the hits We play all of those songs Yeah Fridays feel different here on the hits Feels like a funeral Hey next we'll find out what John What song do you want to play

When you're walking out the door today mate Another one Bites the Dust Yeah Yup The Hits The Jono and Ben Podcast play it when you're walking out the door today mate another one bites the dust yeah yup the hits the Jono and Ben podcast and it is the end

of the week so we thought we'd do something different we thought we'd wrap up the week literally with a rapper got a New Zealand

rapper Noble with us in the studio great to have you here good to see ya good man how are you guys lovely to meet you mate

you were a bit worried you said your head's too big for headphones yeah I know I've got an extremely large head I lost a bit worried you said your head's too big for headphones. Yeah, I know. I've got an extremely large head. I lost a bit of weight. And yeah, now I look like a walking bobblehead.

I wouldn't have said your head was heavier. Yeah, no, I wouldn't have thought. But it wasn't the first thing I thought when you... In your line of work, too, as a rapper, you need to wear headphones all the time when you're recording. I know. Usually the in-ear ones are a bit better. So I don't kind of topple over too much. Hey, now, big month for you, New Zealand Music Month.

Yeah, yeah, big month. Latest single came out Friday, last Friday. It's called Do It Different, and it's very, very cool. Like, funky, funny, it's cool. Yeah, I tend to take my music a little bit on the funnier side. I don't take myself too seriously. I wouldn't call myself a rapper. So if you don't call yourself a rapper, how would you describe yourself?

A poet that says words funnily and quickly. It's hard to get that on the customs declaration card. It's long. Because you can rap fast. Looking on your Instagram and stuff, you're quick. Yeah, yeah. I've kind of always found Like looking on your Instagram and stuff, you're quick. Yeah, yeah. I've kind of always found the interest in like speed rapping and stuff like that. Well, for a guy who doesn't call himself a rapper, you're very good at rapping.

Well, thank you. I guess that makes me even better. Now, we're going to play a bit of a game today. You've got some words and lines for about a topical news story. Yeah, yeah. A few different things that I didn't search up last minute. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, we can do that.

You don't sell 100% sold on... I don't know. It's a bit fast. I like it. We love a challenge. Here we go. So what we'll do... Is this the instrumental one? I feel like Dr. Dre here.

Do you want me to count you in or are you good? I think we'll just let it, like, you know, we'll just... Do we need to do anything? No, no, no. No, we'll just sit here. I think it's best if we do nothing, I think. I think it's best. Feel free to come in afterwards if you guys want to.

Okay, cool. We go, here we go, check it out, check it out, here we go. Open up your ears, please, listen real close. I might rap fast or I might rap slow. Cause Noble on the mic, can he take control? We got Jono, Big and Megan too. Please let me introduce this new rap group. Let's go.

I like it. Name the group. It's going to be like glad rap. It's not great for the environment, but hey, it's all upbeat. Yeah, that's what we need. Okay. So I was walking down the middle of the CBD. I saw a man with his arms full moving with speed.

Well, little did I know he had a couple po-po. And they were chasing old mate all over the show. He was stepping to the left. He was stepping to the right. If he played for the Wars, they may win one night. I'm only kidding because I know that they'd be winning. And I know I'm only jealous of the chocolate he was stealing. Post on Aurora.

Well, I never saw it. Looked the other way like a junk he ordered. Trying to buy a house, but I know I can't afford it. Somebody got the number for a kid in self-storage? Kid in self-storage? Shout out if anyone wants to sponsor a rapper, Kenneth. Kid in self-storage? Gas price going up.

I think the only shining light was I couldn't fully understand what he was saying the whole time Now Bryn Rudkin we just had a

newsreader and night host from the Hits in the studio before telling Ben podcast. Now, Bryn Rudkin, we just had a newsreader and night host from The Hits in the studio before telling us about his big $31 lotto win. He was wearing an item of clothing which really gives me PTSD, post-traumatic skivvy disorder. He's in a skivvy today. They're very fashionable now. Oh, and hey, no disrespect or any mudslinging to those that do wear skivvies,

but it takes me back to my childhood where my mum, Annie Pryor, big skivvy enthusiast. She would dress me in nothing but skivvies. She wanted me to be some sort of, you know how you see in a movie, there's a heist in an art museum and the criminal's always wearing a skivvy? They were very good for keeping warm, though. That was the thing, I think. His mum would make me a white singlet tucked into my underpants

and then a skivvy on top. Why does it need to be tucked into your undies? So no drafts were getting in. It felt like your neck was in compression tights. Well, I've tried to put my three-year-old son in a skivvy and that's what he complains. He's like, oh, it's around my neck. Maybe it's a mum thing. That's the point. you feel like you're being lightly strangled the whole time and there's been

a lot of lip service recently on hickeys on a couple of levels actually great for covering up love boys aren't they i mean they've got their they've got their advantages but i'm just like i can never wear i've been put in so many skivvies over the years i can never wear another skivvy it's just that one item aren't they called tur item. Aren't they called turtlenecks now? Yeah, they are turtlenecks now. People don't know what skivvies mean anymore. Yeah. Do people call them turtlenecks? Yeah, no, skivvies is not.

Everyone's like, what? When you were saying it yesterday, it was like, oh, turtleneck. Well, skivvy's not a thing. Skivvy's a mouth. I like skivvy. That's a great word. Much more enjoyable word to say.

Have you guys got clothing from your childhood that tortures you now? I don't like tie-dyed stuff. My mum used to make a lot of my clothes. And there was... Oh, you did grow up in a hippie commune or something, didn't you? A nudist colony. A nudist colony, sorry.

It was weird that she was making clothes. But yeah, they were all like a lot of stuff that had highlighter stuff on it. I do love those. Graffiti prints. Again, they're kind of cool now, all of a sudden. Cosmic. You remember that brand Cosmic,

which was all bright and tie tie-dye colour. You look like a fire poi juggler from a music festival. Well, I am from Nelson. This is like a uniform from Nelson, but I'm not a fan. For me, it was a couple of things. I used to have a sheepskin vest. I just despised that mum would make me wear. I was like, why are you making me wear this?

But anyway. With a skivvy? Probably with a skivvy underneath. It was like a why are you making me wear this? But anyway. With a skivvy? Probably with a skivvy underneath. With the underpants. It was like sheepskin brown, sheepskin vest. It was kind of like the underside of sheepskin with the fluffy bits around the edges. It was like shearling. And then my grandma made everyone in the family, she knitted jumpers.

And they looked like something that David Bain walked out of. You know, like the whole thing. They were very bright, colorful. And I was like, I wasn't. And every time we'd go to see Grandma, we were like, we all have to wear our jumpers. I love it, those items that you've been given. You're like, we'd better pull them out and put them on.

So we'd all sit down as a family in these jumpers that she'd knitted. And we were like, we haven't worn these since the last time we were here. But anyway. Yeah, when someone gives you like a floral vase, you're like, well, thanks for this. We'll put that in the cupboard and bring it out every time you come over. I saw one show where you wear a skivvy, I wear tie-dye. I'm a real bad jumper.

Absolutely. Okay, so 800 The Hits, we want to get you on. What's the item of clothing now that you can't bear even looking at or wearing thanks to your childhood? What did you have to wear all the time? Basically being traumatised from your kids. The other one for me, Andy, was hot tuna. Oh, yeah. Hot tuna.

All I wanted was vision streetwear mum. She was wearing this weird hot pink hot tuna t-shirt. She's like you look lovely Jay. That was my summary

outfit skivvies in the winter. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Of course the budget was announced yesterday seems to some tax

release some tax cuts for a lot of low to middle income earners. So that's a good thing, I guess. Yeah. This never seems like everyone's always happy with the budget. No. Well, you've only got so much money, you've only got so much trillions of dollars to play with, don't you, so you really need...

You sound like a lot. Yeah. Does sound like a lot. I would just, I'd be shocking at it. I'm terrible at my own personal budget because everyone would be like, oh, you forgot us, but I did too, mate, you can have a billion oh you forgot us over here, the bloody people with, you know, conjunctivitis oh yeah, you guys get 10 million

I'd chuck out promises and then be like, wait it costs how much? I think that's exactly what they've done Alright, we're just talking about clothing that triggers you from your childhood skivvies are the ones for me tie-dye clothing for Megan. And Ben Boyce,

a sheepskin vest. Yeah. That was full of... Sounds cute. It looked cute in a little sheepskin vest. Yeah, well, I was for a time there.

So 800 of the hits. When did you... Because you eventually moved into wearing all cricket whites. Yeah, that's when I started dressing myself. You rebelled. Wear cricket whites

and sweatpants. Was that an improvement? No, it probably wasn't. It's probably a step back. You could have worn the sheepskin vest over the top, would have been a lovely little matching. On the cold cricket days. Yeah. Okay Rachel, clothing that triggers you now from your childhood. Leg warmers, hand knitted by my mother, stripes and matching fingerless gloves. Oh fingerless gloves!

Wow you would have looked like straight out of a Madonna video. with stripes and matching fingerless gloves. Oh, fingerless gloves. Wow, you would have looked like straight out of a Madonna video. Leg warmers. I remember either leg warmers or big slouch socks over your tights. Yeah. Yeah. They look very cosy, leg warmers. Yeah.

Were they comfortable or not? Did they ride up and down or did they just sort of sit there on their legs? No, they sat there on their legs. They were comfortable. They were quite cool at the time. They were good for biking because you didn't get your legs rubbing on the blimmin'.

You know, you could tuck in your pants, you see. Yeah, that was always a bit of an issue when you were biking to school, wasn't it? Your pants getting caught up in the oily chain there. It's funny because it's like leg warmers but not your whole leg,

just part of your leg. Yeah, knee below, wasn't it? Just below the knee. Just below the knee. Just below the knee. And they were knitted. Pink. So you've never worn a leg warmer since? No.

Hell no. Maybe you can be the one to bring them back, Rachel. Yeah, that and was it aerobics all style? It was a big show. They all used to wear aerobics all style. Behind in the mornings, mid-mornings. Aerobics all style. They big show they all used to wear in the mornings mid mornings do you remember the um do you remember stussy you know the and that sort of clothing as well that's right that's made a comeback

What time of the morning was that on? Look at the cast of aerobics Oz style. Very high cut as well, those leotards. Just sitting on the couch and watching it. Not doing the aerobics, just watching it. You're like, oh yeah, I'll watch it. I guess it's a do. Hey, good on you, Rachel.
