Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:20 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
Starting point is 00:00:31 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
Starting point is 00:00:39 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
Starting point is 00:00:49 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
Starting point is 00:01:05 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.
Starting point is 00:01:13 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
Starting point is 00:01:22 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?
Starting point is 00:01:36 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
Starting point is 00:01:46 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
Starting point is 00:01:52 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
Starting point is 00:01:59 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?
Starting point is 00:02:07 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.
Starting point is 00:02:21 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.
Starting point is 00:02:33 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!
Starting point is 00:02:42 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:04 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?
Starting point is 00:03:16 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.
Starting point is 00:03:31 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
Starting point is 00:03:45 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
Starting point is 00:03:50 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
Starting point is 00:03:56 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
Starting point is 00:04:03 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:24 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.
Starting point is 00:04:38 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,
Starting point is 00:04:46 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.
Starting point is 00:04:58 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
Starting point is 00:05:11 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.
Starting point is 00:05:29 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.
Starting point is 00:05:38 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
Starting point is 00:05:54 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
Starting point is 00:06:02 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.
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:06:47 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
Starting point is 00:06:58 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.
Starting point is 00:07:25 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
Starting point is 00:07:47 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.
Starting point is 00:08:15 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.
Starting point is 00:08:30 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
Starting point is 00:08:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:01 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.
Starting point is 00:09:18 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.
Starting point is 00:09:30 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,
Starting point is 00:09:44 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
Starting point is 00:09:56 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.
Starting point is 00:10:08 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.
Starting point is 00:10:22 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,
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:04 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.
Starting point is 00:11:21 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.
Starting point is 00:11:40 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.
Starting point is 00:12:01 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,
Starting point is 00:12:20 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.
Starting point is 00:12:34 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,
Starting point is 00:12:56 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
Starting point is 00:13:25 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
Starting point is 00:13:41 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
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 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?
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:44 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.
Starting point is 00:15:02 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.
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:24 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.
Starting point is 00:15:39 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.
Starting point is 00:16:00 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,
Starting point is 00:16:09 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,
Starting point is 00:16:15 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.
Starting point is 00:16:30 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:16:55 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
Starting point is 00:17:06 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.
Starting point is 00:17:17 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
Starting point is 00:17:30 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
Starting point is 00:17:45 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
Starting point is 00:18:02 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,
Starting point is 00:18:16 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
Starting point is 00:18:43 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.
Starting point is 00:19:00 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.
Starting point is 00:19:14 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?
Starting point is 00:19:30 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 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.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Well, before you set it off on its journey. Yes. Do you do it loudly? Yeah, sometimes.

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.
Starting point is 00:22:39 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, all yours for Hundy Mundy, Sean. Beautiful, mate.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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.
Starting point is 00:23:10 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?
Starting point is 00:23:25 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.
Starting point is 00:23:42 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
Starting point is 00:24:41 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.
Starting point is 00:25:09 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
Starting point is 00:25:27 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.
Starting point is 00:25:39 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?
Starting point is 00:25:54 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.
Starting point is 00:26:10 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
Starting point is 00:26:31 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
Starting point is 00:26:47 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
Starting point is 00:27:03 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.
Starting point is 00:27:14 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
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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.
Starting point is 00:27:41 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.
Starting point is 00:27:55 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,
Starting point is 00:28:08 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
Starting point is 00:28:17 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
Starting point is 00:28:43 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.
Starting point is 00:28:57 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.
Starting point is 00:29:11 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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. 4487 on the text.
Starting point is 00:29:33 0800, the hits, is the telephone number. The strangest date proposal locations where someone's pitched that you go out for an evening. Your doorstep. Yeah, well that's, yeah, obviously worked though, didn't it?
Starting point is 00:29:44 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.
Starting point is 00:30:01 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?

Starting point is 00:30:52 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
Starting point is 00:31:15 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!
Starting point is 00:31:39 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.
Starting point is 00:32:03 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.

Starting point is 00:33:05 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.
Starting point is 00:33:23 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.
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.

Starting point is 00:34:07 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?
Starting point is 00:34:18 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?
Starting point is 00:34:37 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,
Starting point is 00:34:51 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
Starting point is 00:34:58 on the radio? Couldn't say any of those on the radio this time of day. That's for a later time. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hits.
Starting point is 00:35:09 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?
Starting point is 00:35:27 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.
Starting point is 00:35:44 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.
Starting point is 00:36:07 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.
Starting point is 00:36:18 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.
Starting point is 00:36:25 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?
Starting point is 00:36:38 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.
Starting point is 00:36:48 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?
Starting point is 00:37:01 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.
Starting point is 00:37:21 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.
Starting point is 00:37:33 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
Starting point is 00:37:47 game in my opinion this is the shortest version of cricket they're just doing the same thing it's been so exciting though
Starting point is 00:37:54 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
Starting point is 00:38:01 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.
Starting point is 00:38:09 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.
Starting point is 00:38:20 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.
Starting point is 00:38:33 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.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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
Starting point is 00:38:59 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:28 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
Starting point is 00:39:40 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
Starting point is 00:39:59 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,
Starting point is 00:40:16 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
Starting point is 00:40:30 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
Starting point is 00:40:46 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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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,
Starting point is 00:41:12 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.
Starting point is 00:41:23 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.

Yeah, we play it with some high jeopardy. High risk, high reward so far. We're three deep. And this question, tornado-based. Megan, just saying during the Gavin deGrosse on.
Starting point is 00:44:59 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.

Starting point is 00:45:19 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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?
Starting point is 00:46:12 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.

Starting point is 00:46:42 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?
Starting point is 00:46:53 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.
Starting point is 00:47:05 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%?
Starting point is 00:47:16 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...
Starting point is 00:47:29 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.
Starting point is 00:47:42 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.
