Thanks to Hello Fresh, cook easy, delicious dinners the whole family will love, because nothing beats dinner time.
New Zealand's unhandiest dad.
Yeah, we're coming to you.
Coming to you live with Bev and Nikki for my 10 mega here in Glenfield.
Ben's away sick today.
We're here for New Zealand's unhandiest dad for Father's Day.
And we met Siforn after the show yesterday, didn't we?
We did.
Siforn nominated her husband, who is a very unhandy dad.
Not that we're shaming him.
No, well, that's exactly what this is about.
That's an hour of unadulterated shaming.
That's about to take place from 7.30 this morning.
But here's Safforn.
Thank you.
Now, Siforn, we're going to be meeting you and your husband very shortly.
Yeah.
What's your husband's name?
Sean.
Sean.
New Zealand's unhandiest dad, you claim?
Yes, most definitely.
He has not got an inch of any handyman in him at all.
Oh, nothing.
Nothing.
Could he change a light bulb, do you reckon?
Yes, if you read the instructions, put his stickling glasses on.
Yes, isn't it?
So he's tried in the past to do stuff and it hasn't quite worked out?
Yeah, so he has no, well, he's got a few tools downstairs, so he doesn't use it.
He'll rather use my kitchen tool, so my meat muller is a hammer.
My knife is a screwdriver.
I have plenty of things like that in my drawer.
he also goes his favorite thing at the moment is black duct tape it fixes everything
oh no okay well in the fridge is broken he got black duct tape on that and it's all
fixed his car bumper there's plenty of stories I love so well maybe that's his thing
you know because at 730 he's going to have a crack at a building competition he gets another
dad maybe he could do some duct tape maybe duct tape will work I'm sure he's probably going to
bring it okay he could duct tape the piece together you're right it's a mystery piece that he has to
great with another dad, a mystery dad at the moment.
So, yeah. Now, we understand there was a mismeasurement with a couch?
So his hands apparently is a measuring tape.
We went to get a new couch.
I went to the store and he felt we fell when we light.
And I said, why, we just go home and get the measuring of our wall.
So he said, no, no, my hand would do fine.
So we went home, measured it, and then we bought it, came over, it got delivered, sorry.
And then it was like, maybe a meter too long for the wall.
so it was the person in the furniture shop like this is the first hand measurement system i've ever seen
well he didn't even care it was just a sell to him so yeah so wait do you still have that
couch that's poking out the door um we had it for at least eight years so we couldn't run for the
doorway if you know we were going somewhere fast you would just smack our leg but um yeah
so he's stubborn too he's not taking it back he's perfect yeah he's
Plenty of stuff, bought the wrong pink bat for the ceiling,
and he's been up there with no mask, instillated all,
and to be told that's the wrong one.
Wow.
So I can't wait.
We can't wait to meet you both, and this legend for Father's Day,
the unhandiest dad.
We'll see you shortly.
So we are going to catch up with Sean very shortly.
He's going to come down to Mighty Team Mega Glemfield
and attempt to make.
Do we know what he's making?
Yeah, producer Troy was saying it's come at a sort of a shelf
ladder
he's got an hour to do it
and all we need is the structure standing
I think that's the best we can hope for
Does someone need to be able to stand on it?
Is one you stand on?
Oh it's not a low bearing ladder
One of us has to sit on it at the end
to test the strength of the structure
John O'Ben and Megan
The podcast
The Hats
We're live from Mider T Mega in Glenfield this morning
We are down one Ben Boyce
He is at home sick today
We've had a fun morning though
The unhandy as dad
ahead of Father's Day
Sean came in
was nominated by Saffa and his wife
and he had to complete a ladder shelf
We gave him 60 minutes if he didn't do it
His $500 might of 10 mega voucher
She was going to go to the first caller
Just before 8 o'clock
Wild, wild scenes
Here we go
Obviously not that wild
Scenes here at minor 10 mega
Wild scenes
Wild scenes that might have 10 mega.
Sean, Sean, I might be creating the wild scenes, but there's scenes regardless.
Siforn, he had 60 minutes to build a ladder shelf, and can we just say, the nation has been behind him.
Sean has just completed the shelf.
A big round of applause.
Really impressive.
And the smile on his face.
You could have brought joy to our hearts as he walked out with his shelf and his voucher.
And I would like to point out that his lovely wife, Siforn, was reading him the instruction.
So I feel like that was in his favour.
And he listened.
He listened.
Maybe that's the key to it.
I'm just saying.
Don't blame you.
Well, I know.
Now, this is the most teased and anticipated radio segment in history.
What I woke up to in my crotch last night.
Okay, so I thought, oh, this is a bit of, you know, I thought I was dreaming.
I was like, there's a bit more movement down there than usual.
Oh, gosh.
And I looked down.
Oh, God.
A little dog.
A little dog has nestled himself.
He's a little tiny little caboodle.
Milo had nestled himself in there and was resting his head just on my upper thigh.
Oh.
And I feel like it takes him back to his years as a pup with his brothers and sisters.
He's crammed in between two.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's frightening.
It's frightening when you wake up with something down there, isn't it?
Yeah.
And especially is it like if he's dreaming about eating sausages at a butcher.
Yeah, right. Okay.
Yeah, no, I don't know if that would be good or not.
Yeah.
But, yeah, my dog likes to, like, I think it's, they like to go between your legs.
Does your dog sleep between your legs sometimes?
But, like, around by my knees.
But I think it's, they get, they feel nice being squeezed in.
Yeah, yeah.
I was trying to make that.
I was trying to turn that around.
You're trying to make it a normal thing.
It's not a normal thing.
I get it.
I get it.
If the authorities are listening, yeah, this could be evidence, technically.
But the dog, you know, when you first get a dog, I found you go through stages a lot.
I didn't want the dog.
Yeah.
Anti-dog.
Kids wear you down slowly.
Yeah.
They're like, hey, this dog's going to sleep outside and fend for itself.
Like the wolves.
Like the wolves.
Yeah.
Like it's ancestors.
Yeah.
Then within a week, the dog's inside on a cozy little bed downstairs.
Yeah.
And then, you know, the following went, the dogs all of a sudden in your bedroom on the floor.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, it's the dog's bed.
Your bed becomes the dog's bed.
And you love that dog.
Yeah.
You're a soft for that dog.
Can't I do.
Maybe a little too much
if it's waking up.
Waking up down there.
John O'Ben and Megan
The podcast.
The Hats.
I'm eating our unhandiest dad.
Sean is his name.
Siforn nominated her husband, Sean.
Siforn, just a little bit of a
background of the unhandy work of Sean.
Oh, he just can't build anything.
There's nothing to him at all.
Just by the way he's sitting right there.
I feel like I'm in the middle of marriage counselling right now.
Listen, I'm in the same category, mate, so we can be, we're birds of a feather.
Some of your highlights, the unhandy highlights?
Hand measurements, that are definitely not hand measurements.
We did hear about this, so you needed to get a new couch,
and you didn't use a measuring tape to measure the space.
No, I did hand by hand, and then we ended up having no door,
because it was blocked by the couch.
There wasn't at any point you thought maybe I'll take the couch back?
No, I was still invested to proving that I was right.
We did hear this morning that prior to coming here you might have had a bit of an argument.
Over the duct tape, yes.
Well, I was presuming that I didn't need duct tape, but she was saying I do, so I'm guessing I'll need it.
You bought your own duct tape because we're going to get you to construct.
You've got 60 minutes to build a.
It's kind of like a ladder, but a shelf where you'd hang or place little pots and bits and pieces on it.
So you think you might use the duct tape to help?
That's definitely getting used to duct tea.
Do you usually read the instructions before?
No, okay, no.
We always have extra pieces, no instructions needed.
There's nothing worse than when you'd be doing a flat packer, you've got leftover bits too.
Let me tell you this, we bought a Harvey Norman flat pad of a bed trundleafing,
and he put it backwards, the wood pieces backwards, back to front,
that's supposed to go that way, left and right, and he built it, he was proud of it,
and he had friends come over, that's wrong.
I do that way I could tell
but I try to rebuild it again
did it backwards again
I think we've found
New Zealand's unhanding his dad
or at least right up there with Jono
yeah he's got the credentials
so very shortly it's going to be kicking off
you've got till 830 to finish
and all we need is the structure
sort of holding up
okay and bearing some weight
some weight that's all it needs
someone holding it on the side
any way chance
it must be freestanding
there is a minor team
a $500 gift card in it for you if you are successful.
If not, the listeners get a chance to win it, so good luck.
Yep, bring it on.
John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast.
The Hits.
It ends away sick this morning, but we're still here at Motot 10 Mega for New Zealand's unhandiest
dad, which is going to be starting in under 20 minutes time.
Sean has to complete a ladder shelf in 60 minutes.
And now this is a guy who gaffer tapes things together.
His car is currently gaffer tapes.
Yeah.
What was the fridge door was gaffer taped
As well
Gaffer taped is his best friend
So if he doesn't complete it
In under an hour
You're going to win the $500
Mata 10 mega voucher
This is like New Zealand's top model
Isn't it
Except with more wheelbarrows around us
We have just behind the scenes
Given Jono a bird house
Which is for ages 6 plus
So we're timing him on this
Yeah
Because I'm honestly
And I don't mind saying it
Shocking
I'm shocking at this stuff
And I think it's through a lack of impatience
and lack of instruction reading too.
I can't, I try and read instructions and I get bored of reading instructions,
and I'm like, oh no, I can figure it out, like how hard can it be?
This is so easy.
It's got the nail holes there for you, but that's okay.
Well, just because it's got holes, doesn't make it any less difficult.
There you go.
Okay.
Just because children can do it, doesn't make it any less difficult.
Well, speaking of children, my youngest, my two-year-old, I,
is going through a big stage at home where we're learning to use the toilet.
Right. And you've got a really unorthodox way of getting her to, and I can imagine it's a daunting prospect at that age.
You're like, oh, this thing falls out of me and then what is this giant hole?
I get this a lot to get your head around.
So, yeah, the number one.
Reese Walsh is still trying to figure out what they're designed for.
Number ones, kids take to a lot easier, but it's the number two is it's a bit scary.
And someone came up with this hack that we thought we would try, we hit the moment where it was happening, got her on the,
the potty and the hack was to give them a glass of water with a straw and get them to blow
bubbles because maybe it does something to your body engages those muscles yeah i was like really
i was like this is going to happen it's gonna this is it like she was blowing bubbles she was
you know doing her thing she ended up sitting there for an hour and i'm just sitting on the toilet
floor with her like this is just and she was just blowing bubbles into the cup and i just thought
if I take her off it's going to be the moment and she was like no I'm it's coming but
the bubble it's kind of like a wonderful little circus trick isn't it yeah she was quite happy
relaxing sitting on the toilet blowing bubbles for an hour uh and did not in the no so I think
we can probably write that one off I'd love to too I'd love to sit on the toilet blow bubbles for an hour
as an adult we walk in and go is everything all right in your life at the moment so oh 800 of the
That's 4487.
You can text us this morning.
We'd love to get your calls and texts on.
The hacks you've tried, the parenting hacks you've tried.
I didn't do this, but I thought you could really manipulate the little minds by confusing food groups.
Because there's a lot of brand damage around Brussels sprouts and broccoli and things.
Yeah.
And you could just say, well, Brussels sprouts are hamburgers, broccoli are French fries.
Yeah.
And mind-eff them into thinking that they're having fast food.
Yeah, I think it's probably more the taste, though.
Yeah.
Once you taste them, you're like, yeah, Brussels sprouts tastes better than a French fries.
A friend was turning off the Wi-Fi, said the Wi-Fi, like, internet ended at 5 o'clock.
Oh, yeah.
And we just turn off the Wi-Fi.
So they believe that the internet was only available between the hours of 9 and 5.
That's a great play.
So it can be a hack you've tried.
Whether it worked or not, it doesn't matter.
Just the strange hacks that you've tried to get your kids to do something.
Loving bubbles on the toilet doesn't work.
Sometimes just to keep them keen, I say that.
they're adopted.
You just keep you just keep on your toes, mate.
Don't you relax?
Do you say that or do they say that now?
They're like, he's not my real dad.
They're like, probably my daughter would say,
sometimes we'd be in a store and she's like,
can I get this LOL doll?
And I was like, no, mate.
She said, she'd be like, this is child abuse.
In the store.
I was like, that is a great player.
So, 0,800, the hits us.
You never want to be lying next to a child.
This is child abuse in a big shop.
John O'Benn and Megan.
The hats.
Saffaun and Sean for New Zealand's unhandiest dad.
It's Ben and John and Ben and Megan here.
We're from the hits.
What's our job again?
What are we meant to be doing?
Working on the radio.
We will meet Safforn and Sean soon.
But right now we are talking about the parenting hacks you've tried.
Whether they've been successful or not, blowing bubbles is what I tried with my daughter.
Did a get-a-go number two?
She's just learning.
It didn't work.
She just spent an hour on the toilet.
No, she just sat there having a great time blowing bubbles.
but some great sadistic texts coming through here i do like this one we told our kids that
santa is always watching through security cameras so sort of just strange strange old man
with a bed watching you watching your sleep through security cameras uh marie welcome from
hamilton this morning how are you yeah great thank you how you doing yeah good how did you
ruin childhoods uh with the lies that you told your children that megan's disguising his parenting
hats. Yeah, well that was
my one, that the security
before the kids realized that the security
sensors were actually security
sensors, that we
told them that they were Santa sensors
and that Santa was always
watching. Yeah, that is frightening.
That's how he knew. If you were, you know,
being great. Good or naughty or nice.
Yeah. The only thing is, my son, like,
he got a bit freaked out when
he was like, does Santa
just come in unambited? And I was like,
And I was like, no, he's sometimes he'll knock and I let him in.
Because then he's like, oh, this person's just coming in.
You know, it's a little bit creepy in this.
So this is like some dudes just watching them on the camera.
It's a little bit frightening.
It's quite weird, isn't it?
Did you have to break the news to them that there wasn't a strange old man watching them the whole time?
He wasn't.
Well, I think they just kind of figured out eventually that, you know, actually mum's death.
Yeah.
Because every time we'll pass the Santa centres, the lights go on for some reason.
Go on.
She's just sensor lights.
Hey, good on you, Marie.
Have a wonderful weekend, all right?
You too.
Ciao.
Susie, good morning to you.
Hello.
Hey, welcome.
Welcome.
Anyone you want to wish Happy Father's Day, too, Susie?
Oh, my dad, Ray.
Yeah, Ray.
Happy Father's Day, Ray.
Consider this your present.
Take it, Ray.
Take it, Ray.
What a gift.
Susie, what did you do?
How's your hack parenting, mate?
How'd you clock it?
So, we would tell our kids that when
Mr. Whiffy music was on, he'd run out of ice cream.
Classic.
It's a champagne move.
Yeah.
Which is, but why it's like, there's holes all through that plot.
Because if the guy's out of ice cream, why is he informing everyone he's out of ice cream?
And why is everyone running up to him?
Yeah.
Like, if they actually just stopped to think about it for a while, they're like, it makes no sense.
It's not like McDonald's go, we've run out of Big Macs and have a siren that plays.
It doesn't help you to have.
Sorry.
It was usually when we were...
Oh no, no, no, Susanie, you go.
You go.
You go.
No, Megan, you go.
Hold on, Megan, you go.
You go.
Susie, you go.
Sorry, what are you going to say?
I was just going to say it was when we were in the house.
They couldn't see the truck.
So it was when he was driving around.
Yeah, right.
Just so everyone knows, I'm out of ice cream, playing the song to the neighborhood.
Thank you so much for your call.
Appreciate it, Susie.
Thanks, Susie.
Someone said, I used to say to my son when he was a toddler,
if you eat all your dinner, you can have some broccoli,
and he'd always be excited to get his broccoli treat.
Great, great.
I like that.
I think I've missed the boat with that, though.
Their niece used to be a really fussy eater,
so I was cooking mince, and her main diet was McDonald's,
so I told her it was McDonald's mints, and she ate it.
The eyes in the back of the head.
I'm reading this one.
I told kids that we all had eyes in the back of our head.
Every adult had eyes back in the head.
That terrified them.
Yeah.
And another lady who said, I refused.
I never wanted to be called Mum.
So my kids have just called me by my first name since they were children.
My kids do that to me, I think, to annoy me.
Yeah.
Hi Megan
Who's mum to you
Jono Ben and Megan
The podcast
That's
Producer Troy
Has come in somewhat traumatised
and limping
After what happened yesterday
Troy
Yeah I've decided to do
A Les Mills challenge
Gym challenge this month
Okay so you've joined the gym
You said you were paying
weekly fees for this gym
That you were never attending
Yes
So you're like
Okay I'm all guns blazing
Yep
They've got this challenge on the app
Where every time you swipe into the gym
You get points
Every time you go and do a class
You get more
points. What do the points stand for? What do they mean?
Absolutely nothing. There is a leaderboard.
Is there a price?
No. Glory. You get a little badge in the app,
but that's about it. Okay.
But so I just want to be...
Non-existent points that don't mean anything.
But you can see where you are on the leaderboard. So I want to be top 20%.
Good motivation. Yeah. Yeah.
And so I decided to do my first ever Les Mills gym class yesterday.
Right. What did you choose?
I chose one that I'd heard talked about in the kind of macha-la-bubu circles.
Yeah.
Ceremony
Ceremony
Yes
Have they all got like
A very mysterious names
Yeah
Ceremony
Conquer
Who's Conquer?
Who's Conquer?
Conca's a boxing one
Right
And then they've got the trip
Oh the trip's great
That's a cycling one
Yeah
So I did ceremony
Yeah okay
Sounds nice
Yes
And I rocked up
And found my little position
I didn't know what I was doing
I was just kind of like
Looking at what the girls
And the yoga pants
Were doing
And I was kind of just copying them
Yeah
It's not the main reason
He goes to the class by the way
Two, girls on the yoga pants.
No, no.
But then the lady came over the intercom and said,
all right, welcome to Partners Day.
I hope you've all got your partners.
Oh, no.
Isn't like your lovers or you bring someone to do it with?
I think it was just bring someone to do it with.
But it did look like everyone had bought their significant others.
Oh, no.
And then I look around the room and everyone's kind of,
oh, yes, everyone's in pairs.
And I'm just kind of by myself in the corner.
Lone wolf.
And the lady said, that's okay.
If you by yourself, we'll pair you up with someone.
Oh, no.
First of all, that's not really what I thought of.
You don't want to work out with a complete stranger.
I get that.
No.
Especially in a team sort of, yeah.
Especially you've got a partner, and if you get partnered up with, you know, some girl.
Exactly.
I don't even think about that.
What moves are you going to be doing together?
Yeah.
And so I got paired up with someone called Francisco.
Great.
I hope Francisco looks like I imagine.
Just a perfect specimen of a human being.
Yep.
Yeah, 100% Hulk of a man.
Did he have a ponytail?
He didn't have a ponytail, but he had kind of this, like, Sicilian black, slicked back here.
And the tightest clothing you could imagine was bulging, ripped muscles.
Yeah, Francisco.
So he's looking you up and down.
He's like, I partnered with this.
And I did tell him, I was like, hey, Francisco, this is my first ceremony class.
You might just have to show me what to do.
And he led out the biggest sigh.
That's okay, mate.
Yep, just keep up.
And the way that this class was structured is, is.
is you couldn't move on from your exercise until your partner had completed their exercise.
Oh.
So Francisco was just waiting.
It was just doing like way more cardio than he expected, waiting for me to do my, oh, it was just so bad.
But hang on, Francisco also didn't bring a partner.
No, well, he was, he was supposed to be leading the class.
Oh, God.
He was a PT.
Oh, Troy.
And was Francisco getting a bit spicy, whether he bit salty and you're holding him up?
He was a lot of, yeah.
It was 45 minutes of yelling.
and swearing.
And he was kind of trying to do it in like a motivational sense,
but I almost cried.
There was a layer of frustration underneath that motivation.
Did he have an accent?
Yeah, he was like Mexican, I think,
maybe Southern American.
Yeah.
So he's swearing at you in a beautiful accent.
Yeah.
Like every time you move this morning, you're like, ugh.
Like he's making these groaning noises.
I don't think he knows that we can hear them.
I'm so sorry.
Those groans are thanks to Francisco.
Francisco's groans.
One and done with Francisco?
I'm not going back.
to Francisco. I'm not going back to ceremony. I might be done with the monthly challenge. I don't know.
John O'Ben and Megan. The podcast. I'm from West. Where are we? Rainbow's End? Disneyland's bright
orange all around me. Minor 10 Mega. It's the Disneyland of hardware stores, isn't it? Miter 10 mega.
We've been here this morning. Ben's away sick this morning, but we've been here. For New Zealand's
unhandier's dad. He had a father's day. Sifor nominated her husband, Sean, who smashed it out of the park.
He got it in like just under half an hour
I had to build a ladder shelf
We had given him 60 minutes
And he's already left
Which has left us in a huge programming hole
But that's not Sean's problem
He's walked away with the voucher
And we'll bring you some coverage from that very shortly
But we have met the wonderful RICO
Who works at Miter 10 Mega
Welcome Rico
Hey a team, good to be here
Lovely to meet Rico
Who coincidentally in this huge village
That is Altearoa is one of Grace's friends
Gensi producer Grace's friends
So Rico, you have a very niche talent.
What is it?
I have been known to have memorized pretty much this whole store
and where the products sit in the aisle.
So, 0,800.
We're going to play a game with Rico.
0800 the hits.
You name any item that you'd find in a hardware store.
If Rico can't tell you what aisle
and where it's located in that aisle, you'll win a price.
Okay, 0800 the hits.
So you need to try and stump Rico.
Yeah, okay.
Can I get the ball rolling?
I'm just on the Miter 10 homepage here.
I'm after, hey RICO, how are you?
I'm good, I'm good, how are you?
Listen, mate, I'm just in the market for a power tech
inverter generator.
That'll be at the end of aisle 8.
Thanks, mate.
Oh, he even tells you where in the aisle.
Hey, Rico, how are you, mate?
Yeah, doing good, doing good.
I didn't do that every time.
Is it weird I've just wanted the Miter 10,
and I already know the guy's name?
No.
Guess what, buddy?
My barbecue broke down.
I'm in the market for a blackstone iron forged 28-inch.
griddle with hood with hood well we keep them on display just in front of the seasonal section but
we got some out back that I can definitely go grab for you what a guy oh my god what a guy can
you tell me if you're like busy working on something or like putting up stock and someone's like
excuse me can you help me find something is that annoying no because part of our jobs serving
the customers you got to get down from the ladder taking where they need to go is RICO in the
running for employee of the month right now employee of the year possibly yeah yeah hey
How you going, mate?
Doing good.
I was after a Stanley Fat Max V-20 brushless blower kit, 18-volt if possible.
That would be at the end of Isle 9 on your left side.
Oh.
He's good.
Have we got any callers, Grace?
0-800 the hits.
Shelly, you'd like to try and stump Rico.
Good morning.
Good morning.
How are you?
We're doing well.
Shelly, just due to budget restraints and the nature of meter at the moment,
Rico doesn't have a set of headphones, so we'll relay.
the item to him.
What are you after, Shelly?
I want the little glass marbly things that you put in your vases.
Oh, now, hey, RICO.
How are you?
I'm good, I'm good.
My mate, Shelly's after the little glass marbly things that you put in your what?
Varses.
In your vases.
The little outdoor stones are at the front of the garden center by our pot recycling unit.
Bang.
Shelly, he's good, isn't he?
It's the details, too.
Yeah, he really is good.
We've got another caller on our 800 of the hits, Stump Breco.
Thanks, Shells.
Haley joins us.
Good morning, Haley.
Good morning, good morning, Miko.
How are you?
I'm good, Haley.
How are you?
Good.
Can you find me a three-pack of moisture absorber hanging bag?
We have the, is it,
dampred?
Uh, they're at the end of Isle 46.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Did you want anything else?
Haley, anything else?
You want a Chakarika?
Oh, can I also grab a, oh, on the spot, um, a frame clothes hanger.
We don't do the standing coat hanger racks, but we have the ones you can nail to the wall down aisle 32.
Well, you can't stop him.
He is unsuppable.
That's an incredible talent.
Do you, like, when you dream, do you dream about your work and what's in the aisles?
Not a chance.
John O'Vinaninan, the podcast.
That's.
Yeah, but you said, don't leave work yesterday.
We've got a little surprise for you.
Have a listen.
We've got some special guests in the studio this morning, Megan.
Yeah, my whole family's joining us.
We've got Basty.
Do you want to say hi?
Hi.
Hi, Bastian, he's my four-year-old.
You're the Bogan Besty.
You're like ACDC Thunderstruck.
You've been, Thunderstruck.
I've heard a lot about you.
What's your favourite bit?
Shaking it in the knees?
Shaking it in the knees.
He's not going to do it now.
But someone who will actually talk to us is my husband is joining us in studio as well.
Andrew.
Hello, team.
Thanks for having me.
Yes.
Now, you've got a really special treat.
For Father's Day.
Yeah, I've got a new single that's out today.
And I thought Father's Day coming up, it's fitting because the song is actually.
written about my son Bastian and my daughter Aya.
Oh, beautiful.
Just in case you're wondering, Megan is married to a musician.
Yes.
Andrew, her husband said like, I'm just going to start a music career now.
I thought I'd do it this week.
Well, hey, you've got on you if you have.
Just kick it off.
I'll try something new.
No.
But we actually had like a tough time getting Bastie.
And so kind of once we got him, that's why Andrew wrote the song initially.
But they're aware of the song and they've heard it,
it, but they've never heard Andrew sing it.
He's a good singer?
Yeah, he's a good singer.
Thanks, buddy.
I'll pay you later, eh?
Singles out this week as well, yeah.
Yeah, so the singles out and the video as well, the video was really cute.
We just kept it simple, but it was kind of like a little home video.
So it was filmed at our house.
There's some shots of me and the kids running around and dress-ups and stuff.
Recorded in one of your two lounges at home or three lounges or how many lounges you got?
No, we went to the home studio for this one.
It's in the East Wing.
I haven't been down the outside of.
There's two things Ben can't let go of,
that you have two lounges
and also you've got a fast pass at movie world
on the Gold Coast,
and he didn't have a fast pass pass.
No, I didn't have a bus.
You haven't taken the plastic off your fridge either,
but we'll get to that one of the time.
Is there a verse in the song
about you getting a fast pass at Gold Coast?
Ben would like to know.
Should have added that.
Maybe that's this co-lab between Ben and I.
We could do a little something.
You've got to have a fast, fast, fast.
Well, that's a hit.
So what's it called, Andrew?
So this is my new.
song, it's called Streetlight, and I'm
singing it right here on the hits.
Going to do it live.
For you guys. Now, I'm
having to push the buttons here, assuming the role
of, you know, your Dr. Dre's,
your, who's other famous producers?
Joel Little from New Zealand.
Joe Little. Yeah. He's good as well.
This is Streetlight
by Andrew Pappers.

Basty, how big thumbs up better than Sonic the Headchalk?
Because I know you like Sonic the Headchalk
Oh, your headphones fell off
Yeah, that was beautiful
She said I want my tiny titties, okay
Yeah, I was like up the tiny jettys too before, but that's beautiful.
Meanwhile, I've got a better reaction.
I'm crying.
Yeah, yeah.
There was, um, I haven't seen him sing that before either, surprisingly.
It was beautiful.
It really isn't what amazing thing, you know, like being, you know, being a father.
You feel like you're as prepared as you could be, but nothing really prepares you for it.
The way I like to describe it to people is like, it's like a new version of love that you don't get to experience until you have kids.
Yeah.
You kind of, it's like an unlock cheat code or something.
thing. That only happens when you have kids and then you go, wow, this is new.
I've never experienced this before. And hey, listen, Father's Day, you're giving the
present to the kids. Yeah. I haven't even got my dad a card yet. You've already written songs
and I need to pick my game up. Yeah. Well, that song was like because Bessie was our
present, because initially it took us a very long time to actually have children. So that's
also why it makes me emotional. It takes us back to that moment where we finally had
fashion. Yeah. Yeah. She's like tiny teddy.
Tiny.
It's my mum wrap it up, tiny tetties.
Did you like Dad's singing?
Yeah.
Tiny tetties, mate, really?
I was like, listening to it.
I was like, best thing your hands have ever held is that before or after the fast pass from the movie board?
I was like, because I was like, well, you know, that's a pretty, a great thing to hold as well.
Also, I was like, what about me?
I was here first.
Yeah.
Not as good as a fast pass, mate.
Well, thanks coming in and sharing it with us, a really special.
Happy Father's Day.
Thanks, Dean.
We did get a video of that too.
You'll have to see me ugly crying.
That's going to go up at 9 o'clock today.
Hey, and if you liked the song, stream it.
It's available everywhere today for you to stream.
Watch the video, which features our children.
The more you stream it, the more money I get for Christmas.
For royalties.
Thank you.
No, I appreciate all the love on the text machine too.
Do it for a new lounge suite for Megan this Christmas.
John O'Bennon and Megan.
The podcast.
The Hits.
Absolute scenes.
Here at Minor Tent Mega.
Wild scenes, Megan.
Wild scenes of minor 10 mega, Sean, Sean, I might be creating the wild scenes, but there's scenes regardless.
We have New Zealand's unhandiest dad, Sean, nominated by his wife, Siforn.
He had 60 minutes to build a ladder shelf, and can we just say, the nation has been behind him.
Sean has just completed the shelf.
A big round of applause.
There we go, team, look at that.
Oh, that looks beautiful, Sean.
Wait, wait, we've found a few pieces not done yet.
Oh, there's a couple of screws poking out.
Might be a hazard.
Let's not worry about it.
Well done, Sean.
Siforn, you had no faith.
This is Sean's wife.
You nominated him.
No, I were arguing this morning to bring his duct tape
because I wasn't confident he was going to do it.
At home, he's been duct taping all sorts of things up,
and you haven't used the duct tape once, Sean.
Would you say, proudest moment of your life?
100%.
And he's got children here as well.
Because I've got, so one, two, yeah, third proudest moment.
Oh, and married, so fourth proudest moment.
We'll go up that one.
Good save, Sean, good save.
That's a big day for you, too.
You've learned what a screwdriver is?
Yes, I picked up that one.
And you've used one.
Yes, and I figured out these have stickers on these as well.
So you can cover up the screws.
It's brilliant.
Amazing.
So now for the official handing over ceremony because the game was, if you couldn't complete
it in under 60 minutes, the voucher, the $500, the $500,000, might a 10 mega voucher was going to go to the first caller.
But you have earned this.
round of applause for sure well done and the only the only downside is we had we needed another half hour
of radio out of you for this mate apologies for that sorry can i get confirmation sean that you
maybe did this with the help of your wife correct so is the lesson here that maybe you need to
listen to her the lesson for today we'll go with that the lesson for today is listen to your wife
so for one was very calmly reading out instructions yeah yeah yeah i'm counting down all the
the planks of wood and when they go, yeah.
Got a little bit spicy at times, a little bit spicy, but they've made it, their marriage is
stronger for it.
Congratulations.
Well done, Sean.
Congratulations, mate.
Now, we were going to talk about what I woke up to in my crotch.
That's going to have to wait.
I was so looking forward to that.
You're going to have to wait.
The nation's going to have to wait for that crotch content.
John O'Ben and Megan.
The podcast.
The head.
This morning, we are going to put our unhandiest dad, Sean, to the test around 7.30 this
morning.
Yeah.
We're here for Father's Day.
been our way crook today, but if you want to come to us screaming in the middle of an empty
minor 10, you're more than welcome.
Pop down to minor 10 Glenfield, yeah, we've got, and if Sean doesn't complete the structure,
which we understand is a ladder shelf, you know, kind of like a ladder.
Like a decorative ladder shelf, yeah.
You've got 60 minutes to do it, and if he doesn't complete it to the $500,000,
he goes to the first caller on our 800 and that hits.
So he has been known to electrical tape things together, if they're not high.
holding so we don't care what it looks like at the end as long as it's standing there is also just
maybe a challenge that we've got for you too yeah something for you to build and the age on it
says six plus so I'm sure it will be beyond you we'll see how you go yeah soon but this morning
we need to address something with producer grace because she is a gene z she's 24 years old but
mentally and in body, she's...
17.
17?
17?
7.0 is or 17?
7.0?
Well, that's mean?
Yeah, that is mean. Yeah. It's workplace bullying. There's what that is.
Explain to us yesterday. A picture came through on our group chat, though, of your
afternoon yesterday. I was just, you know, doing what I do, because I have no children.
I was lying on the couch watching TV. My flatmate starts vacuuming. And I was like, it's
fine I'm dozing off and then about four hours later I wake up and she's taken a photo of me
so I slept through all her vacuuming and you know when you vacuum you take everything off the
floor she put everything on top of me as well so I'd like my bag a bean bag all this other stuff
and I still slept for four hours through all that through all that noise a pile of stuff on her
and then you said you take gaviscon as well okay well no I didn't say I took gaviscon
I made a joke about it being old and then I revealed that in fact I do have it beside my bed
in case I need it.
Do you have Panadol osteo?
What does that mean?
What's ostea?
Do you have metamusal?
No, I have no clue what you're talking about, Jono.
Don't lie.
You and Jono would be the worst to take to a movie.
Yeah, we'll pass out.
I'll bring us a packet of Wethers' Originals.
Suck on those and fall asleep.
Have a glass of prune juice, Grace.
I can't see your face right now because you're pushing the buttons,
but I can imagine.
I can imagine the facials we're getting.
You are a prolific napper, though.
Have you got an archelipsy?
Do you think you might have...
Yeah, I just yawned right now.
Yeah, probably.
I don't know, actually maybe.
I should get tested day.
Yeah, honestly, no one requires that much sleep.
But it's a little bit pot-calling kettle black clock now, though.
Yeah, I get that.
