The Jono, Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to HelloFresh.
Your home advantage for delicious midweek dinners everyone will love.
Welcome to the podcast on a Monday.
Getting into it?
Just seen Winston Peters deliver the State of the Nation speech in Christchurch.
We're not getting all political, are we?
Yeah, but I've just seen, what I love is...
He says it for the podcast, hard-hitting, straight off the bat.
Yeah.
He's coming hot too.
We didn't mention this once During the radio show
Three hours
We were like podcast
Here we go
But what I do love
Is a clash of protests
So outside his
State of the Nation speech
There's a whole bunch of protests
Three separate protests
Going on
Oh really
And it's hard
Because you've got to
Stop the greyhound racing
They've got their t-shirts
I thought they'd stopped that
Yeah I think that's done
I think box ticked
You guys have done They've had a win there Oh maybe he's trying to Is he trying to bring it back I don't thought they'd stopped that. Yeah, I think that's done. I think box ticked. You guys have done, they've had
a win there. Oh, maybe he's trying to, is he trying to bring it
back? I don't know. I don't think he's, no, I think he's gone
No, I thought he was the, yeah.
He said, stop the ban.
Not the dogs.
No, they want the Greyhound racing back.
Oh, that's what they're saying. Okay, sorry, I'm getting
confused. I was going to say, I thought they stopped it.
He stopped it. They're like, bring it back.
So that's what they're protesting. Okay, so they've got their stop the ban, not the dogs. That's their, they stopped it. He stopped it. They're like, bring it back. So that's what their protest is. So they've got their
stop the ban,
not the dogs.
They've got their
t-shirts.
Across the road,
you've got a bit of
an Israel-Palestine
situation going on there.
A lot of those protests.
And then there was
a GE free one as well,
just tacked onto the end.
Now the problem is,
you've got multiple ones.
You all need to schedule
in your protest time
because your messaging
gets lost.
Haven't we missed the boat with that GE3?
Didn't we start doing that a long time ago?
Yeah, no, I know.
I feel like we've really missed that.
It's like going, stop AI.
It's like, what?
It's a tough one, isn't it?
That boat sailed.
And shout out to people who do go out and protest too.
I think it's wonderful.
Yeah, you're a big supporter of protesters in general
right
yeah
and it's good
you're right
to get people together
a mass
that's really
a lot of organising
you won't leave your house
you know
no
I'm like
that's why I'm so
like I think
people standing up
for what they believe in
is a really awesome thing
yeah it is an awesome thing
it is good
but yeah you're right
someone's got to start
a bloody Facebook group
don't they
come on down
meet at this time
get everyone together
I'd rather just bitch and moan behind the scenes, you know?
It is impressive whether you believe when they protest or not.
That's what democracy is about, right?
Your first one, you'd be a bit nervous, wouldn't you?
Like, is anyone going to turn up?
You don't know.
You don't know.
You're waiting at the park with your placards.
Other people turn up.
We've got to protest, baby.
Can one person do a protest?
Some people do, right? Some people just battleady. We've got a protest, baby. Can one person do a protest? I guess some people do, right?
Some people just battle on.
Yeah, so good on them.
But a solo person with a sign looks a little...
Yeah.
Late blaster.
Yeah, you need 10 plus, don't you?
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
That's the hot fire political analysis.
That's good.
We've done that.
Now we can go with Face the Face Time.
Yeah!
Jono, Ben and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
We've got a new game
that we're going to start to play
throughout the week.
It's called Face the FaceTime.
Okay, so the game's pretty simple.
One of us hands our phone over
and the other two get to decide
who we FaceTime.
And we find out
who will accept a FaceTime from us.
The only rules are that
the audience would have to know
who they are.
Okay, we can't just pick.
Your wife.
Your daughter.
She probably wouldn't answer FaceTime, to be honest.
Kids wouldn't answer either, to be honest.
Hi, Ricky.
Is this a treasure trove?
Don't you have politicians in your phone?
No, I've got a really mishmash of, yeah.
A lot of the times I'm like, how or why have I ended up with this contact?
Sometimes in radio we get given people's numbers to do interviews,
and we keep the numbers.
Yeah.
I'll try this.
Okay, he might answer.
Okay.
Patrick Gower.
Patrick Gower on a FaceTime.
Yeah.
He feels like he's a journalist,
and if he's not busy doing something, he might answer.
Yeah.
He'll swear a lot, right, if he does.
He'll appreciate the call Right Patrick Gower
I don't
Okay
A FaceTime though
Is different
It is different
Now we've got to
Hedge our bets
Do you think he's
Going to answer Ben
I think
Yeah I'll bet
Patrick Gower
To answer
I don't reckon
He's going to answer
Not a FaceTime
A FaceTime
Oh yeah FaceTime
Might pop up
And go
Does he mean to FaceTime me
Yeah
Maybe you really
Want to show him something
You know
He's like
Oh what's John
I want to show me Okay here we go FaceTime right. Maybe you really want to show him something. You know, he's like, oh, what's John O want to show me?
Okay, here we go.
FaceTiming.
What does John O want to show me?
Here we go.
FaceTiming Patrick Gow.
That familiar FaceTime sound.
What?
I don't think he's going to answer.
If I was Patrick Gow, I would not answer this call.
Come on, Patty.
I wouldn't answer this.
He's going to let this run ring out.
No one has time for a FaceTime. No one has going to let this run ring out.
No one has time for a FaceTime.
No one has time to see another person's face.
In the middle of the day, it seems accidental.
You pick it up and you're like, oh, Jono, FaceTime.
Patrick Gower, unavailable.
Unavailable to FaceTime at the moment.
Okay.
Get out of here.
Roger Farrelly from the Rock Radio Station.
Lovely Rog.
He's great.
He is lovely.
Is he working?
He probably is working right now. Yeah, you're right.
The same as us,
but will he answer a call?
The problem with this segment
is I'm going to have to deal
with the fallout
when people FaceTime me back.
How often do you call him?
I haven't spoken to Rog in...
You're right.
Later, he's going to call you back.
It's a great chance to catch up.
Bonus points if you can get his laugh
on the radio.
Oh, yeah. It's a great chance to catch up Bonus points if you can get his laugh on the radio Oh yeah
It's a hard method of communication
To get people to engage with
It really is
Oh
Roger
Did you ring the wrong person or something?
We're doing a game on
Who would answer a FaceTime
Roger Farrelly would.
He's in the studio as well.
He's in the Rock studio.
Megan's here as well.
Hi, Rog.
Hello, Megan.
Ben.
Good to see you.
Lovely to see you.
When was the last time you heard from Jono Pryor?
I was just going, this is so bizarre.
Is Jono offering me a job or something?
Why would he be calling me?
And he needs to see my face?
He really needs to see it.
Hey, Megan's got a request
while you're here on the hits.
Well, I was just,
I said bonus points
if they could get you
to do your laugh, Rog.
It's iconic.
Oh, well, I think
I already have it, man.
The problem is
we're not funny enough
to get the laugh out of Rog
and he laughs at pretty much everything.
Hey, just while you're on FaceTime, guys, I just saw Rog in the studio there.
How much of his actual face have you seen on FaceTime?
Or has he gone full boomer and put the phone to the ear?
I didn't want to say anything.
There was a little bit of air at the start there, Ryan.
Just a little bit, yeah.
It's on speaker, but he still can't hear.
Oh, listen, Rog, thank you for facing the FaceTime, mate.
Is this the radio?
Can I steal this idea?
Yeah, of course you can.
It's all yours, mate.
It's all yours.
Face the Face.
Well, Roger, there we go.
We struck out round one.
Round two, Roger Farrelly from The Rock.
See you, guys.
Great to see you.
See you, Roger.
Bye.
He's going to talk all over his laugh tonight.
See you, mate. Jono, Ben and Megan
The podcast
The hits
Megan you have something
That you need to get off your chest
Clear the air so to speak
I have discovered
I'm responsible for
Something
A mark in our bathroom
This is
Like a brown mark
On our white vanity That has been there for a long time like a
couple of months okay and i have tried putting bleach i've tried putting exit mold on there and
like leaving it have you jiffed do you know i've done jif jif session name it i've done it and i
can't get it off okay um and i was like I don't know what. Megan's about to confess.
All right.
I honestly thought it was a fire alarm.
I was like, what is it?
Yeah, I thought I was having a stroke or something.
I was like, is there some music going on behind this?
What's going on?
Just a bit of flair, a bit of showbiz production.
So then I discovered when I was doing my hair the other morning,
I put my hair straightener down and the mark exactly lines up with my hair straightener so what I've done
is I've burnt the vanity okay and this has been burning a hole in your soul at the same time I
I think maybe um yeah I'm responsible for it and my husband doesn't know so you'd like to
confess it on the radio, not to your husband,
but to confess it on the radio.
Sorry, I didn't get that memo because I've had Andrew on hold the whole time.
Megan Louise Pappas.
Andrew.
That's a classic radio stitch.
No one told me that she didn't want him on the phone.
Megan Louise Pappas, was that you?
I have been trying to clean that for the longest time.
Hi.
Actually, I'm looking at it right now.
That is so your bloody hair straightener.
Yeah.
Good morning.
Left a scar on the vanity and a scar on your relationship.
Do you know what, guys?
This is so a rant for Megan.
I'm not even surprised.
I'm just glad we figured it out.
What else is she hiding from you, Andrew?
That's what I want to know.
I don't know, but she's always just breaking
something or there's something got a
scratch on her or...
She's got a hole in it.
I just got you that t-shirt.
When did you realise it was you?
How long have you been harbouring this information,
Megan? That it was me? About
two weeks.
That's a long time, Andrew.
Wow, I've just been living a lie.
So, should we get a new bathroom?
A new bathroom.
Yeah, let's replace the whole thing.
This one's broken.
This one's yucky now.
That seems like the sensible decision.
A whole new bathroom, Andrew.
Hey, well, I'm glad it's all out in the open now.
We can't have these little things
ruining the perfect marriage.
No, that's right.
You know?
Can't have secrets.
Well, so you can't be angry with me because you're on the radio.
Keep it light and bright.
Yeah, you're right.
We'll have some words off there.
Okay, sounds good.
You have yourself a great day.
I'm sorry it started with that.
But if you want to confess something, oh, and the hits,
you don't have to necessarily confess it to your partner,
to your work.
You can do it on the radio.
You can do it anonymously if you want.
Confess something for us.
John O'Bien and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
You can just confess to making a little burn mark
on the vanity at home, right?
With my hair straighteners.
I was confessing to you.
I didn't know you were going to have my husband on.
Now I left lasting scars on her marriage, Ben.
He just texts me saying, hmm.
Oh, just hmm.
Okay.
We'll deal with the fallout of that later.
Well, you will.
The fallout of that later.
The confessional's open.
Anything you want to get off your chest, you can do so now.
No judgment here.
AJ, welcome to the confessional, my son.
Thank you.
Hi, guys.
Hi.
What would you like to confess to?
Hey, do you know, guys, I don't know if you know what an anything jar is.
It's a big glass jar, and my partner fills it with lollies.
It's got a lid on it.
And I have to confess, I pinch some lollies,
and then what I do is I tip it upside down,
and then it makes it look like it's full again.
It sort of fluffs up the lollies. Yeah, and then it makes it look like it's full again. It sort of fluffs up the lollies.
Yeah, and then it makes it all full again.
Sometimes she picks it up, but I'm not sure.
I should be confessing this.
We have an anything jar, and I can tell you,
I would 100% know if you'd done that.
Because I'll be eyeing up what lollies and where they are.
Maybe she's taken the higher ground on this one, AJ.
Yeah, right.
AJ, you've got yourself $100, a gift card at Gas Petrol Service Station.
So enjoy that, even if things are going to get a bit heavy at home.
We'll get Renee on.
Welcome to the confessional.
Renee.
Good morning, team.
Lovely to have you on.
What do you want to confess?
Good morning.
I was a bit naughty.
I borrowed my partner's car a couple of weeks ago,
and I curved his tires, and it just so happens,
I didn't tell him about it, so I could get away with it.
Well, I actually did.
And then it just so happened that his sister borrowed the car
maybe two weeks after.
And so then he realised that someone had curved his tires.
And to this day, he still thinks it was his sister.
And you're letting her take it.
Well, you haven't said anything wrong.
You've done something wrong.
You haven't accused anyone.
But has he accused the sister in front of you?
No, no, he hasn't said anything to her.
She's blood.
She'll be fine.
Yeah, she'll be fine.
I think you got away with that one, Renee.
Well, Renee, you can hook him up with a $100 gift card.
Maybe that'll help soften things, you know,
thanks to gas petrol service stations.
Does he listen to the show?
He does.
Oh, Renee, you've made a fatal error.
You were so good up until now, Renee.
What have you done?
Let's just say her name a few more times.
Oh, no.
And one more.
Natasha, welcome to the confessional, my daughter.
Is that what you're saying?
I don't know.
My child.
My child, that's right, yes.
Natasha, what do you want to confess to? Oh, God., well this is going back a few years, but I was dyeing
my hair black, and I thought I was being extra cautious, you know, I'd taken all the precautions,
but yeah, once it was in, I turned around and there was dye splatters all over the wooden
floor in the bathroom. Oh God, so I got down and tried to scrub it off and every other trick in the book,
but it wouldn't budge.
So I ended up getting a vivid and drawing a few extra marks on the wooden floor
to give her that sort of aged look.
It didn't work.
It didn't work.
But the worst part was I had completely forgotten about the dye in my hair because I was in
such a panic mode. So
it got left in for about 30
minutes. So instead of having a
nice black kind of tint to my hair
it ended up being that really dark
gothic.
You went full goth mode.
My husband was more preoccupied
about the dark hair
than the wooden floor.
Some would say instant karma,
but naturally ageing the wooden floorboards
overnight.
Permanent marker.
They're ageing quicker than I am.
We're going to hook you up with $100
to spend at gas petrol service stations as well.
Thanks for sharing with us this morning.
Thank you for your forgiveness.
John O'Bannon Megan The Podcast. Thank you for your forgiveness. Jono, Ben and Megan.
The podcast. The Hats.
Because on Friday afternoon, my
son, he phones me. He's like,
Dad, I'm managing a football team.
And I said, okay, well, have you
had any previous
management experience? He's talking soccer
football. Soccer football, yeah. Any previous
sports management experience? He said, no.
I said, have you played football before? He said, no. And I said, well, what skills do you experience? He said, no. I said, have you played football before?
He said, no.
And I said, well, what skills do you have?
He said, I've got my suit.
So I was like, okay, we'll roll with it.
And they were playing in the middle of town.
They had a park in the middle of town.
And it was one of those moments where Jen's like,
you need to go along because, you know,
there's some colourful characters in this park.
Right.
And I'm like, let's not helicopter parent.
Let the kid go out there and manage his football team.
And she's like, no, you must go.
And I'm like, this is ridiculous.
So I'm sitting from a distance in a car in the park watching this football game go on.
It's a big grudge match between the kids at school.
Okay.
It's like a game of prison football.
And I'm about 50 metres away and I can see the shoulder barging.
So who's organised this?
Just the kids.
Just the kids at school?
Right.
Gotcha.
So it's not like there's a referee or anything like that.
No referee.
No referee.
Wait, and is your son actually sidelined in a suit?
He's in a suit.
He's managing the team.
Oh, right.
And I said, what skills do you have as a manager?
He's like, well, basically, from what I've seen, you just wave your arms around it,
yell at players, yell at the officials.
So he's doing this.
He's on the side. All of a sudden, I see a kid, and they both, yell at players, yell at the officials. So he's doing this. He's on the side of a bit of a...
All of a sudden, I see a kid, and they both go for the ball, two players.
One ends up on the ground.
Oh, okay.
And he's lying there for a while.
And I'm like, well, there's no other...
I can't see anyone else around, so I should probably go over and see.
Now, the poor guy's lying there with his arms stuck above his head.
So he's dislocated his shoulder.
And it's lodged above his head.
He's lying on the ground.
And then another dad sort of appears out of the bushes as well.
So I'm like, oh, yeah, clearly you've been told to come here too and to keep watch.
The ambulance came.
He's sucking on that green whistle.
Looks like a good time.
Looks like a great time.
Oh, my goodness.
We should get some green whistles in the studio. And then I got home. Jim was like, how was it? And I was like a good time. Looks like a great time. Oh my goodness. We should get some green whistles in the studio.
And then I got home.
Gemma's like,
how was it?
And I was like,
good.
You know,
you don't want to.
Yeah,
but that wasn't,
that was the football thing.
That wasn't the unsavoury characters.
Oh,
there was an unsavoury character.
There was a scratchy guy
drinking beers
and he was kind of,
he came over to the ambulance staff.
He gave his medical diagnosis
of what had happened.
He was worried about concussion.
He wanted the green whistle. He probably did. about concussion and she's like how was it and then Oscar was like oh Tombo dislocated his shoulder there was a guy drinking beers and cheering us on
she just looked at me she just looked at me and it was one of those moments where no
words needed to be said and we got on with our day
Jono, Ben and Megan
The Podcast
The Hits
Ori is supporting now
She messaged
She said two in a row
Yeah
Now she's happy
Okay so
We're talking micro pettiness
Or pettiness
You were having a discussion
Whether you wanted to go micro
Or full blown petty
Just any kind of petty
I tend to lean towards micro pettiness
I didn't even know there was a difference
Because I'm a chicken
Well micro pettiness is when
People don't know you're doing it,
but you're doing it
for your own satisfaction.
Full pettiness is when you're just
inconveniencing someone
quite obviously.
And Tom Petty?
He's free-falling.
Okay, great, great.
We've got our options.
Now, this has spawned off
a caller that we had on Friday,
and after the show,
we got talking about this guy.
Very funny revenge story here.
Oh, I busted
my neighbours. So last week put my
rubbish out of rubbish day, all good, come home
from work and my bins are missing, have a look
around, can't find them, whatever.
I ordered new bins and I've
been collecting my rubbish for a week, you know, putting
them outside my house. So this morning at
6am I went out and put my rubbish
in other people's bins and
lo and behold I seen my bins
outside my neighbours. Oh the neighbours
have fleeced it yeah. Yeah so the neighbours
have fleeced it so the devil in me
I wanted to screw the lid shut you know
and then I was like my work bin's right there
so I got a couple screws out and screwed the lid
shut.
So then when the truck came
along to empty the bin the lid
wouldn't open and the rubbish was stuck in there.
Is that micro or is that?
That's just full blown petty.
Okay, okay.
I like to, my micro pettiness, and I do this quite often
and people are going to get really angry,
and I don't know why I do it,
but if I see someone fanging it up behind me on the motorway,
I'm like, excuse me.
Oh, do you slow down?
I not only slow down,
but I match the speed with the person in the lane next
so they are completely trapped you're like you're watching too much formula one am i oh you can't
get past oh no but also like i could be saving their life or saving them from a speeding ticket
but more importantly you feel like you're having a win that's the most important thing yeah i feel
yeah speaking micro pettiness, got a
well-publicised history
of receiving parking tickets back and
forth with the council.
They've launched some sort of attack on me.
No, it's just you don't pay your
parking. It's personal.
It's not personal at all.
But they have a machine now.
It's a car with cameras on top now.
They don't even have parking wardens. The car just drives around. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Ticketing people. It's a car with cameras on top now. They don't even have parking wardens.
The car just drives around, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
ticketing people.
It's like the Terminator.
It's pretty genius, the whole system.
It's efficient, yeah.
Ticketing Terminator machines sent from the future.
Anyway, we were walking across the road one day,
and the car came past with all its cameras on top,
and I pulled the... There's still a guy inside the car.
I pulled the fingers at the cameras.
But also the guy in the car looks,
and you're pulling the fingers at him.
Are they more meant for this job?
It was meant for both of them.
Did you yell out, this is for the cameras, not you?
No, I just did the thing.
John O'Bannon Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
We're talking pettiness this morning on 0800 The Hits 4487.
Yeah, maybe you're too mature for a confrontation,
but not mature enough to let it go.
Okay, those are the calls we're wanting on 0800 The Hits 4487 is the text.
Had a friend who had, you know, a few issues with his neighbour,
and she used to run, well, his dog used to bark.
She used to just put the lawnmower on and put it right by the fence
and leave it on.
Like, leave it on it on for Until it basically
Ran out of gas
I know but then
She runs
She used to go to the petrol station
For petrol
Yeah
It was like
The dog's making noise
But then the dog would bark
At the lawnmower
It's just you know
Yeah
And now
Well she'd be great
For the gas petrol service station
Yeah
She'd want to win this voucher
So I'll have her
Leave the lawnmower running
All week long
Yeah
Great text here
Someone keeps sealing
My fruit salad From the work fridge.
So what I did was one day I replaced the grapes with olives.
The grapes with olives.
Do you then have to camp out and watch,
like hide and watch them eat it?
Because otherwise how do you get the gratification?
You want to see the results of that, don't you?
But are olives more expensive than grapes, Lowe's? Yeah, we are actually, yeah. Tui, how do you get the gratification? You want to see the results of that, don't you? But are olives more expensive than grapes, Lowe's?
Yeah, we are actually, yeah.
Tui, morning to you.
Morning, how are you?
Yeah, we are a box of fluffies on a Monday, Tui.
Tell us, what's the pettiest thing you do?
I started off with the cutlery drawer where all the spoons have to face the same way.
But now that I think of it, it's the dishwasher that annoys me most
because I have to have things placed in a particular way.
So if somebody throws the dishwasher,
I'll go and rearrange it.
Well, before you set it off on its journey.
Yes.
Do you do it loudly?
Yeah, sometimes.
Okay, so if someone's fossicking around in your cutlery drawer, Tui
They put a spoon back the wrong way round
I'll put it back the right way
Wow, you add up all the minutes that you worry about the position of cutlery at the end of your life
Yeah, you know you're right, hey
You know you're right about that
I should stop worrying about those things
But anyway, yeah, it's just the way it is.
Hey, I know once you've got your thing, you can't undo it.
It's the small control you need in your day, right?
Good on you, too.
Well, we're going to give you a $100 gas petrol service station voucher.
All right, mate, you have a great day.
You too.
Appreciate that.
We're going to get Sean on.
Good morning to you.
G'day, mate.
How are you?
We're doing well, Sean.. Good morning to you. G'day, mate. How are you? We're doing well, Sean.
Pettiest thing you've done?
My old boss, he used to piss me off incessantly every day.
And then I'd had enough one day, so he gave me an instruction,
and I said, sorry, what was that?
He said it again.
Repeat that.
He said it again.
Sorry, man, can't hear you.
He said it again. I said, I wonder how many times I can get away with it. Eight. Repeat that. He said it again. Sorry, man, can't hear you. He said it again. I said, I wonder how many
times I can get away with it.
Eight times
in a row. Was this like
face-to-face or over the phone or what?
No, face-to-face.
Face-to-face. Oh my God.
He's like, what do you mean? I'm right here.
Yeah, that's beautiful, Sean. Great play as well.
It's like a kid going, why?
After the eighth time, I said, I don't know why you keep repeating the same thing.
Oh, that's good.
Spittiness is finest.
$100 gas petrol service station voucher,

Beautiful, mate.
Thank you.
Good on you.
Great text here.
When people annoy me and I have to sign something
for a documentation, I hide a little...
A DMB.
A DMB, genitals inside my signature.
Oh, that's quite good.
That's a little bit of great pettiness.
I have no idea, but you know.
Jono, Ben and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
What to watch with Megan.
Yeah, Megan, prolific watcher of stuff.
Always watching something, aren't you, Megan?
Right now, watching your computer.
I'm at home with two little kids and they go to bed at seven
and then I'm like, what do I do?
So I watch things.
Now, you watch the show that it feels like the whole world
is talking about over the last week, right?
This is the latest hit from Netflix.
It's a little bit heavy.
This one's called Adolescence.
You're making a big mistake. He's only a kid heavy. This one's called Adolescence. I'm going to start off with asking you. Do you know a girl called Katie Leonard?
80% of women are attracted to 20% of men.
You must trick them because you'll never get them in a normal way.
We've done nothing wrong, have we?
Yeah, so explain the premise of Adolescence. So Adolescence is a four-part miniseries. It is based on a 13-year-old
boy who ends up taking the life of a female classmate after he's been kind of radicalised
online. Now this sounds like a frightening plot to a movie or a miniseries, but actually the
parallels it has with the world at the moment. That's the more frightening part.
So in real life, schools in the UK have brought forward seminars in school
to help deal with this and the risks of being misogynistic
and about radicalised movements online because it's pretty scary.
It's pretty scary.
The thing is with this show, the thing that makes it special
is that every episode is one take.
One shot.
One shot.
Like, yeah.
One camera, multiple camera operators because it's an hour long.
But it is an hour long with no cuts.
That's incredible.
I've seen stuff online of, so one camera operator is doing it handheld and then they pass it onto a drone.
And then the drone takes off of the camera.
And then the drone has to land
and then the camera operator picks it back up again.
It's the ultimate pass the parcel.
That's incredible.
That's one of the actors,
one of the stars talking about it on the Jimmy Fallon show.
Basically what we do is we spend the first week
going through the script.
So it's like a play.
And then the second week,
you choreograph it with Matt Lewis,
who's our camera operator.
Can you hear that?
Or is it just coming from one channel?
I think our cords are broken.
Are our cords broken?
Am I going crazy?
Yeah, so it's a one-shot like a play, he was saying.
And sometimes you watch the episode and you go,
that was take number two.
Other than the last episode's take number 14,
they had to do it 14 times because the lights went out on one scene as well
and they had to start all over again.
Yeah, if anything messes up, they have to start all over again.
But very heavy.
Now, we want to get into this a bit more throughout the week on this
because obviously it's important for a lot of parents of teenage kids, right?
This series, you know?
It kept me up at night because I have kids who are not yet in school.
And so I'm thinking, okay, well well what's it going to be like for them
when they go to school? Like I think when you have children
watching this show it's
very daunting and it's
very scary.
Kids will grow up in a completely
different world to what we grew up in.
Social media is a whole other
world. It's crazy the stuff
they have to deal with. The big premise of this is
that the dad's like no you've got it wrong. My
kid is, this is who I know him to
be, but he's unaware of what he's doing
online. And what's
influencing him online. Yeah.
Which is the scary thought at 13
years old that he would be capable. I say that to my kids all the time. I'm just
trying to feel my
way through this, being a parent
in the social media world. Because as you say, it's
totally different to when we were growing up.
Yeah.
And that's the learning things
on the World Wide Web.
After watching it,
would you let the kids on social?
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
I know that Australia,
they're bringing forward a ban
to make it 16 years
and over for social media.
I'm all for that now.
All for that.
Okay,
we'll ask you the same question
in 10 years time. I'll still be all for it. You probably have that. We'll ask you the same question in 10 years' time.
I'll still be all for it.
You probably have the same opinion.
I'll still be all for it.
Will I be able to control it?
Exactly.
Another story.
That's the big question as well.
You can all forgo.
Oh, yeah.
And good on you if you can.
But obviously, when everyone's done it.
How do you police it?
And how do you do it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's an interesting one to navigate through.
So would you recommend that every parent needs to watch this?
Absolutely, but I've had to take breaks in between.
Yeah, I don't know.
I've read so much about it, I don't know if I could watch it.
My wife's watched it, but I just don't know if I can.
You've got an existential crisis going on.
Too much for me.
Why can't you?
Oh, it's just quite, it's very heavy.
I try and watch stuff to get away from the world.
So I read up about it, but when I watch something,
I don't want to be going into
keeping me awake at night
and worrying about the police.
Yeah, see, I lay down at night,
close my eyes,
and I could not think about anything else
other than this show.
Sounds like fun family viewing then.
Jono, Ben and Megan.
The podcast.
The hits.
I actually got talking to
a lovely lady and her husband,
and their conversation swayed into
how they had actually met each other.
Now, how's this for a great play from him?
He's the local courier in her neighbourhood,
and he would deliver packages to her house
and obviously sort of figured out the lay of the land, so to speak,
and was dropping a package off to her one day
and asked her out on a date.
Shot is shot. Oh, date. Shot is shot.
Oh, wow.
Shot is shot.
That's quite good because I,
the co-heir is the only person I'm happy to see at my door.
You are a hermit, aren't you?
Yeah.
I'm just like, someone knocks on your door,
you're like, no, thank you.
But if it's a guy bringing you presents.
Or delivery food, maybe, that'd be all right.
Yeah.
Although you're quite far out, though, aren't you?
Yeah.
If he's got an ASOS package in his hands, he's your dream man.
I know it's presents that I paid for and I'm expecting,
but it still feels like a guy's bringing you.
He's like a daily Santa.
He's like, oh, thank you.
So you'd be open to a date proposal from a courier?
Yeah.
You're right.
You're paid for.
He's just basically pouring it to you. But I'm like, oh, my goodness., you're right. You're paid for. He's just basically
pouring it to you.
But I'm like,
oh my goodness, thank you.
He reaps all the benefits.
Okay, so this is what
we want to chuck open.

Your doorstep.
Yeah, well that's, yeah,
obviously worked though, didn't it?
Yeah. Now married, multiple kids, and that's obviously worked though, didn't it? Now married,
multiple kids, and she's now handling
his package. Okay.
You could say. On a couple
of levels. He's still a courier too, so.
Next, is this person
going to come on? Yeah, we are.
The one involving the undertaker.
Now this, I mean.
Wait, what? Yeah,
this is why, stick around. The unsexiest moment ever. Well, what? Yeah, this is why. Stick around.
The unsexiest moment ever.
Well, yeah.
Hey, maybe it worked.
Really whips.
I tell you what, a funeral really whips up the old pheromones at times, doesn't it?
Really gets things going.
It does.

Welcome to the boss.
What's the boss's name?
My boss's name is Ross, Ross Boss
Ross Boss, oh good name for a boss
Yeah, Ross is a good name for a boss
So
The weirdest one was actually
My mother
Her father died on her
50th birthday so it was quite sad
And
What happened was she was there With him when he died and all of that.
It was a really beautiful thing.
And then she went to see the undertaker to take him a jersey
because my Nana thought he was going to be cold,
and she was really worried about that.
And so Mum was getting her dad dressed,
and the undertaker started hitting on her.
And he was so into it, I had to run into her at the funeral, at her own father's funeral.
Tell you what, nothing more romantic than the fresh smell of grief is there.
Exactly.
Jeez!
Over her father's body, yeah.
She's had a few odd ones, actually.
I tell her that she attracts some very interesting specimens.
But, like, what was he saying to her?
Like, was it just straight-up pick-up lines?
No, he was just talking about how much money he made and...
Yeah, I know, I have to pay you.
Yeah, true.
He was shooting a huge shot, wasn't he?
Well, it's a numbers game.
I mean, how many funerals are coming through every day?
You just keep firing it out there.
You're going to have a winning every now and then, aren't you?
Alicia, thank you so much for your call.
And so now do you call the undertaker dad or?
No, no, he has not undertaken any more funerals for us since then.
We're going to hook you up with $100 to spend at gas,
petrol service stations.
You got a gift card.
Thanks for sharing that story about your mom.
Do you want to hook up?
Do you want to hook up with your mom?
She's pimping her mom out.
I'm okay.
Well, no, I'm okay at the moment, but thank you, though.
It's very kind of you.
Just in case you make more than the undertaker.
I don't know.
We need to compare salaries.
I don't know. I'm to compare salaries I don't know
I'm okay at the moment
We'll see what happens next week
See you Alicia

Strangest date proposals, Lucy what's yours?
Good morning
We're doing really well, it's lovely to have you on this morning
You've been asked out on a date, Lucy.
Unusual location?
I was doing my shopping at New World
and one of the staff asked if I wanted to go for a coffee.
Oh, shit, they were checking you out, so to speak.
It must have been the way I had the bananas.
Oh, isn't that a thing, isn't it?
Is it like upright?
No, neither do I, yeah.
And isn't it only on a Tuesday or something?
Oh, is there certain things?
There's a lot of hoops to jump through, isn't there?
You've got to have your bananas facing northwards and only on a Tuesday.
And isn't yogurts over the side of your trolley something else?
Is it?
I don't think so.
Maybe.
Geez, yeah.
There's a whole seedy underbelly shopping at the supermarket.
I love it.
And did you say yes, Lucy?
No.
How do you politely say no in that situation?
I just said, oh, look, I don't drink coffee.
Sorry, and just carried on.
Oh, that's a good way to do it.
Yeah.
But then they would have been like, what about tea?
There's other beverages.
A $100 gas petrol service station voucher, all yours for Hundy Mundy.
Thank you.
That'll come in real handy.
Oh, good on you.
Hopefully you might be asked out on a date there at the petrol station.
We can't guarantee it, though.
Ben, morning to you, baby.
Morena, morena.
How are we?
Morena.
Strangest date proposal.
What happened?
So a few years ago, I used to work at a popular strip club as a bartender
and had a female customer constantly ask me out for a date.
And I said, hey, look, you know, I can't date customers.
It's not a good look.
And she goes, well, how about a lap dance?
Oh, right.
Okay.
Now, do you consider that a date, your very first lap dance?
Well, you know, we don't really talk about that, but a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks.
And it's a great story to tell the grandkids.
And do you still work
at this club?
No, no, no.
Married with kids
now better not.
Yeah,
better not, yeah.
It's a bit of an unusual
location to have to head off.
Dad's off to work, kids.
And what was the wildest
story from the club
that you can tell us
at nine o'clock
on the radio?
Couldn't say any of those
on the radio
this time of day.
That's for a later time.

The weekend took, I went to the family, to the cricket.
I'm a huge cricket fan.
My family, well, they haven't been to a cricket game for me for a while.
But we thought doubleheader, Eden Park, head along there,
see this little bit of the White Ferns and then the Black Caps play as well.
So your enthusiasm levels for the project?
Very high.
Your families?
Well, they were kind of like, I think for me, you know,
like for me they were kind of like, yeah, we'll go along,
which is cool.
I appreciated the fact that they would go along.
I mean, there's stuff you go to of theirs, isn't there?
What was the last thing you went to that you didn't want to go to?
I mean, there's dance recitals, netball games,
there's all sorts, you know.
Wins and losses in a family.
So I went along there and what you're doing, I think every parent knows about this,
you want to look for things to keep them entertained while you can enjoy the thing that you want to enjoy.
So you're hyper aware.
So yeah, we walked in there and there were people giving away one of those signs, four and six signs.
I'm like, great, that'll be good.
And then I recorded my daughter Sienna. This was her doing a bit of commentary
and enjoying the signs.
Sienna's commentary.
Okay, ready?
Let's lock in.
Right, so Pakistan, number 55.
Yep, with my eyes, I can see.
He's bubbling the ball.
Oh, he's just bolted.
And oh, that's a pretty good hit.
And he's going to get a four.
That's a four, everyone.
It's a four.
It's a four.
That's good.
Okay, good.
So you're making them play commentary in real life.
Do a little bit of commentary in real life. Then you go, okay, the signs. It's a four. It's good. Okay, good. So you're making them play commentary in real life.
Yeah, commentary. Do a little bit of commentary in real life.
Then you go, okay, the signs and the commentary, good.
Maybe you need to get them a drink, a special drink.
It's good for a little bit.
Then you want to get some hot shivers.
He's like a nervous host.
You come over to his house for dinner.
Hey, do you want to play ball games?
Do you like Monopoly?
I like Monopoly.
Hot shivers.
And then you're like, too early for an ice cream.
We're looking at this thing.
We want to spread out the good times. Exactly early for an ice cream. We're looking at this thing, you know.
We want to spread out the good times.
Yeah, exactly.
Teaching them some rules.
Here was Indy having a crack at some commentary as well.
That's good.
Okay, Indy, you're on commentary on the next delivery.
Okay, you can jump.
Okay, all right.
So we're going to come back to you now.
How do you think the start has gone for the Black Caps?
I think it's gone pretty well.
We've gotten a lot of fours and sixes, which I just learned about, which is pretty cool. But I think we're going pretty well. We've gotten a lot of fours and sixes, which I just learned about, which is pretty cool.
But I think we're going pretty well.
And cricket so far?
Cricket's good.
That wasn't a confident cricket's good, was it?
She's like, there's about 12 other places I'd rather be right now,
but I'll say it's okay.
And then we got to the stage.
Now, this is not even halfway through the Black Caps. This is the halfway, but I could tell there was some yawning sort of going on.
They're fading on you.
There was things.
It was starting to...
We're even halfway through the innings.
Were they batting first?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this was them just not even halfway through the innings.
So 19 overs gone.
Yawning.
Now, you've just, like, come to me and said,
well, we're not
even at halfway
it's a very long
game in my opinion
this is the
shortest version
of cricket
they're just doing
the same thing
it's been so
exciting though
it's been sixes
it's been fours
it's been wickets
yeah I feel like
they should just
like shorten that up
or they should have
started earlier
this is the shortest
version
because I'm getting
really tired right now
actually
and this is my thing if they were at home version. Because I'm getting really tired right now, actually.
And this is my thing.
This is the thing.
If they were at home, they would be, I'm always like, go to bed, guys.
It's late.
But go to the cricket.
And they're like, oh, it's getting quite late.
I was like, mate.
I agree with them, though. They do do the same thing over and over.
It's cricket.
The novelty wore off.
They did enjoy it.
But then it got to that stage where they had your drink.
They had their ice cream.
They had their chips. They had their sign. They had to enjoy it, but then it got to that stage where they had your drink, they had their ice cream, they had their chips,
they had their sign, they'd enjoy it, their cricket cup was full.
Hey, someone's just texting saying, heads up, you keep saying listen to this
and we're hearing nothing.
Oh, nothing at all.
Apologies for that.
It was just coming through one channel.
Just to recap, Ben's playing audio of his daughters.
They hate cricket.
They never want to go again.
They got bored.
They almost fell asleep halfway through.
Jono, Ben and Megan.
The podcast. The hits. Astronauts. They almost fell asleep halfway through. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast.
The Hats. Astronauts. We talked a lot about them
last week. They were stuck in space.
They were meant to go for one week. Ended up
nine months stuck up in space.
Thankfully, they're back home, back
on Earth. They got them back.
But there's something that's been making
news over the weekend that
they are not entitled to any overtime.
Now, that's one of their rules in their contracts.
So they get paid their 40-hour-a-week salary,
and then they get $5 a day for expenses.
Now, expenses up in a space station, probably not a lot to do.
Yeah, true.
They're pocketing that.
That's a win for the astronauts.
But then they're not paid anything else.
Nothing else.
No overtime, despite being stuck up there for nine months.
Donald Trump, apparently, He just found out about it
And he's going to
He's going to pay it
Yeah have a listen to this
Or don't
I thought I'd done
A really good bit of radio there
I plugged my laptop in
I had a grab of audio
This was meant to be Trump
Saying I'm going to pay
And none of that went off
Like I've got
I'm watching the video
The video looks great
Just imagine
That that went off
And that would have been Really good Okay but it didn't it didn't okay champagne me
champagne so they were stuck up in nine months nine months that's a long time the thing is the
overtime of that is bad for your body right like we were just saying one of the astronauts went up
brunette came back gray yeah like a lot of gray hair yeah it's what it does to your body apparently
it can oxidize the hair so everyone's joking that she lot of grey hair. Yeah, it's what it does to your body. Apparently it can oxidise the hair.
So everyone's joking that she didn't have hair dye,
but apparently it can have that effect.
It can make you grey.
It can also increase your risk of cancer,
cause vision loss,
cognitive decline,
a gaunt face,
weight loss,
and chicken legs and baby feet.
Well, all I'm hearing are problems, mate.
All I'm hearing are problems.
We're a solutions-based show.
But it would be lonely out there, wouldn't it? Yeah, it would be.
Nine months in space. Okay, so this is
what we want to chuck open this morning.
Where have you been stuck?
Obviously, I mean, we'll take space.
Space. That's where the bar
has been set. Yeah, yeah.
Let's bring something a little bit back down to earth.
Okay, well, Friday. Friday afternoon.
I was stuck in probably one of the loneliest positions
any motorist can find themselves,
in the middle of the intersection,
as the light phasing changes.
And all you can feel are the eyes upon you
of all the motorists from all four entry points
of the intersection,
and hands hovering over horns.
They want to honk.
People that drive right up to you as well.
That's what happened to me.
It's people that drive up,
and you're like,
you know, I can't do anything.
I can't do anything.
And it's just the aggression,
and you can feel them staring at you,
and all you have to do
is just keep looking straight ahead.
Just pretend like nothing.
You are not supposed to enter an intersection
if your exit is blocked.
Again, problems.
All I'm hearing are problems over the side.
There's no surprise that Jono's doing that.
I do hate those people
that drive right up to you and then just honk.
And it's like, what do you want me to do?
I can't do anything now.
I've made an error.
Satisfaction.
I'm sorry.
Satisfaction.
We all love doing it.

So you thought, I'll give it a bash during lunchtime.
Yeah.
And I just didn't have the courage to launch out and grab this little rock
which was going to be able to climb over the top.
So I was just standing there and these mountain bikers were going past.
You all right there, mate?
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, it's all good.

Megan, just saying during the Gavin deGrosse on.
Huge, huge backer of tornado movies.
They're like right from Wizard of Oz.
Oh, yeah, true.
Tornado movie. Twister, is that a good one? Tw Oz. Oh, yeah, true. Tornado movie.
Twister, is that a good one?
Twister.
That's a good one.
The second Twister.
The new Twister.
Yeah, Twisters, I think it was.
Twister.
What about Sharknado?
Yeah, Sharknado.
Anything with a twister in it.
All right.
So what were the answers?
So the question was, what is the name of the scale used to measure tornado intensity?
And there's the Gonzales measure, Enhanced Fujita scale, or measure enhanced fujita scale or the windy popsometer which is my personal favorite the fujita that's
what megan is that we're looking at yeah that is correct well done i would have thought all those
twister movies would have paid off okay i'm ready for the next question number four. What is California's state motto? Eureka, yee-haw, what up?
Are you joking?
They all sound made up.
Yeah, it's just their state motto.
I can't remember the answer.
This is an official slogan.
Well, I don't know.
It's in the quiz.
It's their motto.
Either Eureka, yee-haw, what up?
Yee-haw seems like it would be sort of more Texas.
What up seems very casual.
Isn't Eureka kind of what they would yell when they found gold and all that kind of stuff?
Is it like a mining anywhere in California?
It feels like a text you get at 3 in the morning.
That's also the one in Hamilton.
Yeah, okay, let's go Eureka.
Eureka is correct.
Yeah, well done.
Well done, team.
Anyway, we'll get to that later.
Okay.
What fraction of the body's bones are in the feet?
Four fifths, one tenth, a quarter.
A lot more bones than you think in your feet.
Yeah.
I know that, but I wouldn't know how many percentage wise.
I don't even really know what four fifths.
That's a lot, right?
That's a lot.
Yeah.
Four fifths.
What's the other ones?
One-tenth, so it's like 10%, a quarter.
So 10%, 25%, or...
Would you say 10%?
And what's the last one?
Four-fifths.
I'm trying to work that.
Oh, four-fifths.
Four-fifths, that's like 90% or something.
Yeah.
Okay.
Either one-tenth, so that's like 10%, or a quarter, which is 25%.
Okay, so either 10% or a quarter.
You said a quarter. Your gut's or a quarter? You said a quarter.
Your gut's saying a quarter.
It's a lot.
I just felt like it was quite a lot, but maybe...
Well, listen, you've been the last one to have a toe injury.
I feel like it's a lot, though.
I do, because you think of the ribs.
Should we go with 10%?
10%.
So what one are we locking in?
10%.
That's incorrect.
It was 25%.
Oh, Megan, sorry.
We should have gone with you.
That's a lot of bones in the 25% of your...
I know, but we started it by saying there's a lot more bones than you think.
Yeah, but that's way more than I would think, even with saying that.
Well, what were you thinking?
10% seems like a lot.
But they're big, big bones.
Be a tiny bone.
Look at your femur.
That's just one big bone.
Exactly.
Yeah, you're right.
There we go.
Hey, can't win them all. Can't win.ur. That's just one big bone. Exactly. Yeah. All right. There we go. Hey, can't win him.
Can't win him all.
Can't win.
And we don't.
We don't.

Jeez, it could be any of those.
Yeah.

Now, are people just ringing? I mean, yes,
they're ringing for the gift card, but do they
actually know the answer?
Are we going to give it to them if they get
it wrong?
They've just got to be on air, so they win
regardless. Don't screw us over.
It's a win-win for whoever this is.
They could really do us dirty here.
Okay, we're going to go to Susan.

and let's take Fiona on the text machine.
Can I have a guess?
No, we're not taking a guess.
We're not going to rogue a guess.
What do I guess?
Because if you get it wrong, we're out, Susan.
Okay, what would be your guess?

okay well susan you know what i think we'll get it part way something. Yeah, hold the line. Susan said 42. Should we lock in 42? Did she? 42 is
correct. Oh, Susan!
I don't know if Susan said 42.
She said the 40 something, but she said the last one.
That was the first one. Yeah, I meant the 42.
Yeah, well done, Susan. Hold the line. We'll get all your details
