The Jono, Ben and Megan podcast. Thanks to HelloFresh, your home advantage for delicious midweek dinners everyone will love. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hats. Welcome to the podcast. It's our first one after a couple of weeks. We went all together and we just got the end of the show and you'll hear some great stuff coming up, including what Jono's drinking now on his health care. But then you mentioned something just as the show was ending Megan, we never got to Yeah, I went out at the weekend with my friend has been with my friends since I was 11 and she's here now But she refuses to talk on the radio. Hi

And we we were like, let's go out we didn't even go out till nine and we stayed out till like 3 a.m. That is great effort, proud of you. Proud of you, proud of you. 45 years old to be doing that. Excuse me. You still got a bit of. She got ID, she wanted to say that, I'm gonna say it before you humble brag.

Jackie, did I get IDs? Yeah, I just said you did. You didn't believe it? We went through this, we did this weeks ago, who looks the youngest, you look the youngest. I know, but you keep on saying you don't get ideas. No, what you do, I believe that now. The old duck's still got a bit of life in her.

That's literally what I said to my husband. And I got hit on a couple of times. Hey Jackie, please confirm. But this isn't the most important part, we find of the story. Megan goes, I danced in a cage. She went into a gay nightclub and danced inside the sex cage. Oh no one said it was a sex cage. Oh yeah I added that.

I tried to sex the story up there. Just a cage. No there was four of us. It was me and Jackie and then two guys. And one of the guys took his shirt off so he was topless. Sex cage. And then the other guy was like, take your jacket off. I'm just wearing like a little singlet. Take your jacket off. And so I was like, oh okay. Took it off. And so he was topless. Sex cage. The other guy was like, take your jacket off, I'm just wearing like a little singlet. Take your jacket off, and so I was like,

oh okay, took it off, and then he was holding my jacket, and me and the topless guy are dancing in the cage. So where's the cage located? Is it sort of above the dance floor? Yeah. So you're like the entertainment, as such. Are ya? Kind of.

Everyone's looking at it. What shit entertainment! Everyone's in their state, they're all having a good time. Yeah,'re all having a good time. Yeah, they're having a good time. Yeah. There's a 60 year old in the cage. I've just been ID'd, thank you.

Yelling through the bars, oi, you, I just got ID'd three times. I literally was like, don't do anything too energetic, cause you'll hurt your knee and you can't be like, oh, in the cage, you know. All my bad. How do you exit the cage? I imagine timing is critical when you want to exit the dance cage. There's a trapdoor on the floor. So you have to like open up the trapdoor and climb down. Wow I went just tempting I can see. Yeah why you want to go there? It's like a really Randy Treehouse. This is very on brand for like me 20 years ago.

Oh, good on ya. That's great to hear. You gotta let your hair out every now and again. Yeah, the old duck does have life in it. How many minutes in the cage, you reckon? Probably longer than what we thought. Might have been half an hour. Half an hour?

Wow. Best move from memory, you pulled in the cage. I did a little body roll, but that was when I was like, not too much, girl. Oh, okay. A little tweak in your back. Are you you using the cage the handles for support? Yeah, of course, of course My lumbar support

It's just that you're not freestyling the cage Oh that's good I hope they don't have video inside the nightclub Can you remind me of like when I used to go McDonald's and get locked inside Grimace? You know the playground? Oh yeah, that's right Oh my god Was it Grimace? You know the playground? Oh yeah that's right. Was it Grimace? And the bars? Yeah. Or was it the hamburger one? There was a hamburger one that used to have that little circle that

couldn't fit more than like two kids around it but then there was a Grimace you'd go inside and rock too. Maybe that's where they sold all the McDonald's playgrounds to, the snorkel. You just danced inside the... That'd be cool actually if you opened an adult McDonald's playgrounds too, there's an iClub. You just dance inside the... Well that'd be cool actually if you opened an adult McDonald's playground. Yeah. You know, like that, but had all that stuff in there. Cranked out music. Don't know how keen McDonald's would be on that. No, you're right actually.

Well hey, well done. Good on you for getting in the cage. Thank you. I do have a sore knee today, so... That's probably why. Enjoy the podcast which starts with Jono's Health Care. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast, The Hats. Lovely to be back.

It's good fun to be back with the team, back with the gang. Got rid of a lot of annual leave doing that for the company, doing the good thing for the company, getting the annual leave down before the end of the contract. Helping Bogsy, the CEO, get those numbers down. But yeah, what I did realize is I can't be I'm not one of those people that can be have nothing to do you know for too much time or else I'm gonna turn into the weird guy on the street who mows the lawn with the nail clippers or something you know. Yeah you're gonna turn into that.

Yeah. Definitely not that already. They're like farming cats or something on the front yard. But one thing that I keep getting fed on my Instagram account, I was like, geez, am I this generation on Instagram where the algorithm is concerned about my gut health? Well, Megan, while you're away, Megan had, was a game for seniors, Mahjong. Yeah, I got fed and it was like for your brain memory to help you. Mahjong? Damn. That's a couple of generations away from gut health. For 60 plus senior citizens. I'm like, why are you sending it to me?

Had rave reviews anyway, so Megan's been taking that up over the last couple of weeks. Yeah, so I've downloaded it and I'm doing really well. Well good, well maybe you'll start getting these gut health ads too. But it's like, try this for your gut health. And to be honest, I've been around for 40 years, 44 years. I've never thought about my gut. I don't care about my gut. And I was like, you know, I should maybe start taking care of the gut.

And one natural remedy which dates back to ancient Egypt times or the Greeks or something. Well researched, aren't you? There's some way out somewhere in the world. One of those two societies. One of those people that have been around for ages. Quite different. Anyway, that's fine. Might have been the world. One of those two societies. Quite different, anyway that's fine. Might have been the Chinese actually, I can't remember. All the Indians, who knows. But it was a concoction of olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Oh god. So I have a shot

every morning of olive oil and then a big shot of olive oil and then a big shot of olive oil. A big shot of olive oil and a big shot of apple cider vinegar. And it tastes like Satan's sweat. It's horrific. Why don't you mix them together? What's the oil do? Well it lubes up the tubes, the olive oil. So it makes for an easier... Are you getting like the cold press like good olive oil or are you just getting like...

Pams. Pams. I don't know if that's... Because you meant to cook with less oil and that's bad for... So I don't know if that's because you mentioned cook with less oil and that's bad for us. I've got the virgin stuff mate, not touched, my olive oil hasn't been fondled with. Pure virgin olive oil. And at what time of the morning do you need to run to the bathroom? Well I don't know, this is my... obviously during the holidays I was doing it sort of 7, 8 in the morning. So this was the first time doing shots of olive oil at 4 in the morning I was like 10 20 years ago. This was Jägermeister in here now

Two and a half weeks Have you noticed a difference? Nothing. Okay. We were gonna say my guts are a bit more volatile We didn't know what you were gonna say there and we're gonna say the strangest thing you ever drunk But I reckon we should find out if anyone is there a health professional listening right now Should you be drinking olive oil like that maybe you should. I think indentists will probably say don't just shot apple cider vinegar because it's really tough on your teeth. Yeah like is this a good thing? A naturopath or something like that? Take it up with the Greeks or the Egyptians or the Chinese or the Indians one of them take it up with someone.

Is this something that someone should be doing it seems like a lot of oil when you're meant to anyway I'm not an expert. I feel olive oil is good like hey anyway. My question would have done more research. 4487 on the text is what Jono's doing. It should he be doing it as the hats. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hats.

Jono's on a bit of a health kick, saw something on Instagram and and Megan feels like there's no internet research after you're seeing something. No. Megan like some weeks later going, hang on. And within a few seconds she comes back with some points that you're like, oh really? Well I saw a pretty convincing animated gut, it was for my gut health.

Yeah. And it looked pretty convincing to me, the guy, the animated guy who had the gut, good set of abs, good pecs. Oh yeah. He had a shot of olive oil and a shot of apple cider vinegar every day. But I don't think that's what's getting in the abs.

Yeah, now you've done a bit more research because there is, I'm just having a quick look as well, there is some celebrities over the years have had, they're more like tablespoons for them rather than whole, you're doing shots, you're going, but they're saying over the course of a two week trial, an extra tablespoon or two will give you an extra, over 3000 calories from the olive oil. See that's... That's the opposite of abs. extra tablespoon or two will give you an extra over 3,000 calories. They're from the olive oil. See that's the opposite of abs. But it looms up the tubes so you know what it comes out like a bloody slippery otter. Yeah but so does fibre. So Megan what have you found? So I looked up the apple cider vinegar I was worried about your teeth and I wanted to know if you're watering it down or shotting it straight. Just straight baby. Yeah okay so that's gonna erode the enamel in your teeth. They say you could do it with a straw or

like water it down but the general thing is it says here it may offer some health benefits but these effects are generally modest and not as dramatic as often claimed probably on social media. Jeez you try and be healthy. You try. You give it a go, and this happens. Mind you, you were saying- Just some veggies, you know? Yeah, true. Some fruit, yeah. He's always showing me pictures of these oozy cheeseburgers,

and he's like, look at that, mate. Look at that. Which has all probably been cooked. You're probably getting your olive oil there, mate. It's all been cooked in oil. I was just trying to cancel those oozy cheeseburgers out. But you had something interesting. You were drinking something interesting on the West Coast, was it the Wild Foods?

Yes. They make you do some crazy stuff over there, stuff I don't think the locals do. No. They have a laugh when we come to town. They put it on and they're like, hey, this is what we do. And they don't actually do that. Yeah. And when you work for a radio station and you go to Wild Foods, you're expected to drink

some nasty stuff. So how do I even say? Well you can say the animal and then we're all gonna know exactly what you know. The animal was a bull. And we know what you drink. Yeah. It was like a vanilla milkshake. Okay.

Was it mixed with anything or was it? Well obviously like vanilla or something. That would have been a tough watch. What about watching poor Megan. It's probably just one of those psychological... Oh I'm sorry, tough for you. Yeah, that would have been tough. I would have been like, oh Megan, please you're better than this.

But how many texts were like, good girl? I bet there would have been so many of those. Yeah. Just, and what did you do it again? Um, I don't feel the need to. No, you've done it? Well you've done done, I guess. But then how do you even know it wasn't?

It wasn't awful. It could have just been them pulling a prank on me, a bit of cream, a bit of vanilla essence. You don't know. I kind of knew. Without going into details. There's a ball outside just winging at you. Good girl! John O'Bian and Megan.

The podcast. The heads. All three of us are back together after a few days here and there. Well Megan you held down the fort. Thank you for holding down the fort Megan. I swaned off to Rarotonga with the family for a few days. Which is awesome. Amazing people over there.

Dogs are very friendly too. We ended up with like four dogs around us at the beach One day just following you around. Yeah Kids are like we take them home. I don't have the logistics work Four dogs. I remember we have a dog at home, but they were lovely I don't know why why are a lot of them short short dogs and rara dogs But they've got like short legs because wasn't there a rumor that one of the corgis? Yeah, I think there might be some sort of you know, adventurous dogs getting, you know.

There's some rumor that the Queen's corgis like... They what? Spread its... Oh went over there and... Yeah. Really? That's why they're all like short legged dogs. I don't know.

That's just what I've heard. Went on a colonisation trip through Rarotonga spreading its... Yeah but one thing we were excited about doing was going snorkelling over there and we'd booked a tour to go out snorkelling and see turtles and stuff which was really awesome and saw stingrays and all that sort of stuff. Amazing fish, particularly off the place we were staying, there's like a marine reserve and I was like maybe I should buy a GoPro. I've always thought about buying a GoPro.

You don't scream GoPro. Would you get the head thing where you can strap it to your head like a miner's line? You can do that, yeah. Absolutely, it would. Yeah, it would, yeah. And I was like well let's get scream GoPro. Like where do you get the head thing where you can strap it to your head like a miner's line? You can do that. Absolutely, I would. Yeah, I would. And I was like, well let's get a GoPro. Then I looked at the price and I was like, well maybe let's dial it back and see what options are similar to GoPros but not quite at that price.

So you want the Teemu GoPro. Yeah, but I didn't go. To be fair, I didn't go Teemu. This was still over a hundred bucks. But I bought a version of it. It was about a quarter of the price of the GoPro. God, how much are GoPros? They were about 400 bucks and things like that.

So he went for the no pro. Yeah, but this one still seemed really good, had good reviews and stuff as well, so great. And it seemed like it was waterproof. It was like up to 30 metres. I'm like, I'm not going under 30 metres. That's a lot of distance, yeah. Who's going beyond 30 metres?

And now I'm at the stage too, and you'll get, you know, you get there where, you know, you get something new technology-wise and you're like, kids, sort this out for me. Have a look at that. You tell me what I need to do. And so they're like, it's all good, good to go. And I'm like, did it come with a case? Like a waterproof case?

And they're like, no, look at the box. It's all, it doesn't. It's waterproof. 30 meters, baby. I'm like, okay, cool. We go over there. This is not even on the turtle tour. This is first day just diving in the water. My daughter's like, can I dive in with the camera? I'm like, yeah, that's We go over there. This is not even on the turtle tour. This is first day just diving in the water.

My daughter's like, can I dive in with the camera? I'm like, yeah, that's why we got the knockoff GoPro. And she dived in and she went, oh, five to seven seconds later. And she showed me a glitch. It went dark and that's it. Nothing. That's all the footage. Well, that's the footage we got.

Then later on, we're seeing turtles and stingrays with our eyes. With nature's GoPros. But I can't. Oh I'm thinking, I could be filming this, I could be filming this. The camera gone. Now it just lives in your head. You can just replay that footage in your head. Yeah and I, all the whole trip I was like, guys I told you there was going to be a waterproof case and stuff like that. I researched it from the camera over there. I was like, guys it's a waterproof case. It's got home. And I think what had happened is they'd given us the right box, the wrong camera inside.

So the camera we got wasn't waterproof, but everything on the box, the kids were right. Screams 30 meters. Screams, you can take us down in the Titan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. We weren't even three centimeters under the water with this one. It just died. A light drizzle. And it died on you. Five to seven seconds with a knock off. So I wanted to know the quickest time you've ruined something.

This is 5 to 7 seconds. Have you got a car and taken it out and had an accident? You know, got one of those new iPhones and dropped it. Yeah, okay. I went home to the hospital. A relationship. Maybe you ruined a relationship in under 7 seconds. Oh, that would be impressive. Oh, sorry. This doesn't usually happen. I'm sorry.

Kip, Jono, Ben and Megan. The Podcast. The Hats. We wanted to know the quickest time you've taken to ruin something after what I thought was a waterproof camera over the holiday break lasted sort of five to seven seconds before it decided not to work. When you swam with it. That was it. That was it.

Technology and water, it's just yes. It felt risky, you know. Even when they're like, this is a waterproof watch, you're still, you're not 100 days. You're like, is it? And I'm like, you're all good kids and then they're like, hey, it stopped working. So anyway, that was pretty quick. And we wanted to know, 0800-8, it's 4487, the quickest time that you've ruined something. Well, I bought something that was meant for water, like a little fish. It's like a motorized fish and you put it in the bath, it's a kid's toy. I know those, yeah. And I was like, this is cute! And my daughter got it out of the box and dropped it on the floor.

It never even got to swim in the water. It never even made it to the water. It took the fish out of its natural environment. It's really sad because it does like a fish like float sideways in the bath now. Does it go, does it, at all or not? No, no nothing. So you've just got a deceased fish that floats around with the kids.

Good life lesson for them though isn't it? Nathan, let's get you on. Quickest time from purchasing something to ruining it. Nathan? Hey team, how are ya? Lovely to have you on the show mate. Bought myself a Mercedes, happy as. Got it at lunch time, went to work for the afternoon,

jumped in at 10 o'clock that night, came round the roundabout and put it in a hedge. Oh no. You're a bit too excited, were ya? Oh yeah, teenage boy. Oh, teenage boy with a Mercedes, that doesn't really go together and now you probably know why, but yeah.

Oh, that's a quick turnaround, 10 hours. What was your car after the Mercedes? I went to the old Toyota Hilux before robust. Before robust. There's plenty of hedges in that thing right? Exactly. You're gonna have a great week Nathan, appreciate you listening. No worries guys you too. Alright great text 4487.

Heavily damaged a new computer as soon as I got home. Dropped it on the ground getting out of the car. You would get insurance, but even the insurance company would be like, bruh. Yeah. Are you not getting insurance on a computer before you get home? You know? Yeah, you probably haven't taken it out. iPhone, I bought an iPhone and I dropped it in the bath two hours later.

They would have only just finished the setup on the bloody thing. Why would you take an iPhone and I dropped it in the bath two hours later. They would have only just finished the set up on the bloody thing. Why would you take an iPhone to a bath? I take my iPhone to the bath all the time. That's a risky environment. I know, I love living on the edge. I went through three drones in a day over New Year's once. I decided I might get into the drone game. No previous flying experience.

In fact, all drone operators, we're gonna look back on this history in aviation and go, that is wild. Letting munters fly things in the air. What was the main purpose you wanted the drone for? It was more for Oscar, my son. So it was kind of like a cheap little flying pervert machine. And we flew the first one and he slammed it into the roof.

I said, all right, mate, we'll go back down to Sunnys and get another one, got a replacement one. The next one, next one that was on me it was on me I ruined that one and then you went a third time. The third time, I went a third time so this is over the space of about nine hours and then this one was kind of hovering but it was hovering away and so there was a function on the remote push home and I assumed the drone would know where its home was, its newly adopted home. It went back to China. It just sort of flew off into the distance. Back to the sum little factory with children in China.

Where is that going? I mean if it doesn't end up trying, what sort of, you know, what's it getting in the way of? Exactly. Exactly. Why? How high does it fly back to China? Is it like dodging planes?

Sort of slowly go up into the distance. So be free. Spread your wings, my little drone. Congrats to the Tactics. I mean, the Mystics. They were playing the Tactics. Well, congrats to the Tactics. You're still a good game. Oh, yeah, they did. Oh, that's still on it. But last night, because we've been going along to a lot of the games. The great A, the ANZ Premiership. Yeah, this one was in the afternoon on a Sunday

and I was like, I'm going to take the kids along. Never been to a netball game before. I was like, they'll love it. There's great atmosphere. So I took them along and they did. My daughter was yelling at the team like she knew what she was talking about. Sledging them.

Get some glasses, Reb! She was like, no, that's not good. I'm like, what are you doing? Mind you, she's got the gene. Doesn't your mum, Ray Ray, get quite vocal on the netball and sidelines? I was having flashbacks. I was like, you are a mini my mum.

She would be, what, verbally having a crack at you while you were shooting goals? Ray Ray. Yeah, my daughter verbally has a crack at me every day. So we had to go down and do, we do like a three quarter time game. So my kids are watching from the grandstand and I went down and I was doing the like a three quarter time game. So my kids are watching from the grand stand and I went down and I was doing the game with the microphone and everything.

Out there, see the court, right? Yeah, like we had a great time and then they came and saw me at the end and they were like, why were you talking so loud? I was like, well, I had the microphone and then like, because it's the first time they've ever seen me do anything like that. So I was like, you need the microphone so everyone can hear you. And they were like, why? We're in our why era. So I was like, well, this is what mummy does for work.

I do these things. Why? Yeah. See those clothes on your bed. And my husband, please him. And no one thinks this, but he was like, mummy talks into a microphone because she's important and people listen to what she has to say. I was like

Cute anyway, and my son goes no they don't What they don't they don't listen. I was like, you don't listen and he was like no one thinks you're important But yeah, the radio now it's probably 10 20 years ago is probably more important He's just reading the market I'll take was like, I'll take them along. They'll be like, wow, mommy does like talks on the microphone. And he was like, no one thinks you're important. Literally at four years old. Are you dancing on TikTok?

Then you'll win them over. Yeah. Then you'll have a win. My bestie, it's contract year, mate. We didn't need that sort of thing in my head. Yeah. He did come into the radio station while you guys were away. I saw that was very cute.

Yeah. And then I said to him later, I was like, you're going to be a radio announcer? He was like, no, it's boring. Oh, that's good. Wow. How old is he? Four. He looked bigger than me on my seat for some reason. I was getting a little worried.

I was like, maybe he's ready to take over the younger generation. He's not interested though. That's a good thing. Don't you come for our jobs, young kids. Good luck. If you're on the roads this morning, it Jono, Ben and Megan, the podcast. The Hats. Good luck if you're on the roads this morning. It's all back to normal with all the kids

back on deck again after school holidays. You were mentioning last week, I heard you talk on the radio about Robert Irwin, son of Steve, you know, they're at the zoo in Australia. He's a TV star as well. He did a Dine and Dash accidentally in Australia. Yeah, he's got 8 million people on social media, on TikTok, so he took to his social media and was like, I'm really sorry, go support this place. Cause he dined and dashed a salad. Well, why didn't he just pay the bill?

Well, he didn't mean to got caught up with taking photos and stuff at the end. He seems like a lovely chap. And then he realized much later that night, he's like, I don't think I actually paid. I'll tell him what a great way to support the restaurant is. Paying your bill. Well, he's gone back. He's gone Paying your bill. He's gone back.

He's gone back over the weekend. He's gone back to the restaurant and paid his bill. So there you go. He also put the restaurant on the map by talking about it. He's taken his $12 salad. Influencer arrangement here because I just advertised you to eight million people. Well, I can never show you.

Thankfully Robert can show his face. He can show face in the store now. For a while we couldn't. Well, one place I can't go back to confidently is Glassen's. So I went there. Why were you there in the first place? I was with Poppy, my daughter, so she wanted to go in and she wanted to get these socks with sausage dogs on them.

And I went to the counter, everything was textbook up until this point. And then the wonderful store manager behind the counter, she was like just so you know download the Glassons app get 50% off yeah I was like thank you that's a wonderful bit of advice. For your first purchase on the app yeah yeah not every time. Thanks terms and conditions baby. No but I mean like you're telling people they get 50% off every time. Sorry I forgot the T's and C's. I'm just looking after Glassons here. So then she's like hey if you just step over to the side of the counter, you can download the app from the App Store, fill out your details. And so I'm doing this. And again, this was all going really well. It was sucking down from the App Store. The circle moved quickly and I was like, boom, got the app. Open up the page, put name, address, details, five year plan. Were there people behind you waiting for their purchase or what?

Yeah there were. Okay, but this is where it gets bad. So then, you had to list all the terrible things you've done in your life and you get through to this page. And all you want to do is just thoughtlessly click. I agree to these 28 pages of terms and conditions. Yeah, I just want half price on sausage dog socks. Yes, right. Only when you download the app the first time though, okay? First purchase. Not all the time, Peter. Maybe that was in the T's and C's there, right. Only when you download the app the first time though, okay? First picture. Not all the time, okay? Maybe that was in the T's and C's then, Megan. But then I couldn't find the box. The little, you know, the little box where you click the thing. And so I was

like, oh, maybe it's me. And so then I started the process again, having to put my details in. She's looking at me. She comes over and she... I don't think she was boomering me, but I felt boomered. Are you alright over here? She said, are you alright? That's when you say, no. No. Can't help me. There's a line backing up.

They're like, jeez the guy just wants to get a pair of sausage dog socks. And what were they, like seven bucks? Yeah. So I'm like, hey I can't find the box. To click the agree and she's like, oh you're right, you can't. She's trying to scroll through. Oh my god. What's Poppy doing at this stage she's like just buy the bloody socks man just buy the socks anyway she goes out the back she gets another person there's a little and they're both flicking and scrolling through the phone

and they can't figure out they get the tech guy to come out he is a look meanwhile there's a line of about 15 people behind and do you know what it was my font my font is on nano mode and it's so large that the page was too big to even show their little box. There was too much font on the page and then she goes, oh it's cause your font's too big. You need to shrink down the font and then I had to go and find out how to shrink down and then yeah, it was a disaster. So sorry Poppy. Yeah, geez, I'm sorry to everyone in that Glaston story as well too.

I'm sorry too. So now my font's on miniature mode. I don't know how to get it out of miniature mode. It's tiny. It's gone from like, you know, Tehoma 28 down to Tehoma 1.5. I didn't know it went smaller. Cue! Jono, Ben and Megan.

Now where you can't show your face again in a store Can you two I can't go back to glass and I held up a line for about 12 minutes trying to download the bloody Glassons app it was all my fault my font was too big on the phone I had a sunglass store of the break trying to get sunglasses before going away and just back on the sunglass holder and I caught it but then about 17 to 30 pairs of sunglasses. On the floor. The floor and you're like.

Did any of them break? No, but you're like sorry, sorry, sorry, but I hope they're not scratched and things like that. And they're like, that's fine, that's fine, but there are moments you don't, it's not fine. It's not fine. No. $900 Ray-Bans are scattered all over the floor there.

On the floor. So you, can you show yourself anywhere? I think we've just smashed some pasta sauce in a supermarket, which again, like you try and clean it up, but they don't want you to clean it up. No, they Can you show yourself anywhere? I think we've just smashed some pasta sauce in a supermarket which again like you try and clean it up but they don't want you to clean it up. No they don't do they. They don't want you to cut yourself but then I was like oh I'll do it I'll do it. I was so embarrassed it just it's amazing how far that sauce can go. It can go. It's like a crime scene. Was it a pasta was it? It was a tomato-y situation. It was like a crime scene. Okay so 800 hits telephone number, stores you can't show your face in. Linda, good morning.

Hi, how are you? We're doing really well. A shop where you can never show your face again, Linda. I'm getting lost in the fog in Hamilton at the moment. Oh yeah, a lot of fog out there this morning, right? Yep. I'm in Bunnings and Hamilton. I love you Linda, you've answered my question with a fog related question. Now we've jumped back to the Bunnings question too. It's a good sense of day too, there's a lot of fog going around.

Hamilton does get foggy though, isn't that little uh... Yeah, can you see at the moment? Not really, I just missed the house I'm going to so not really. Sounds like a good time to phone a radio show. Well, we appreciate it. So I was just thinking to myself. Mine was, I was a triplet, a nanny for triplets, and they were coming up to where we went to Bunnings,

and we went into the playground and it was all very nice, and the two boys, the identical little boys, got stuck up the bloody top of the playground and that tunnel thing. Oh yeah that can be a frightening frightening little nook can't it when you're that age? Yes and the other little one the little girl was in her buggy I had to find her and strike her in the buggy and she was crying. And luckily there was a, I'd had a chat, there's a little cafe there and I'd had a chat, the tradies had gone,

oh god, three of them, oh I've got two, that's bad enough, wah wah wah. And so I, and there was an older tradie and a younger one, so I had to go and suck up to them and ask them if they could climb up and get them. Oh, and the sucking up worked. It did, and the old guy just sat there laughing his head off. So he had to be like sort of a hostage negotiator

to get them out of the slide. Well, the trouble is they didn't want to come to a stranger, a bearded stranger. I was going to say, yeah, it goes against everything you're talking about as a kid. Yeah, it does. Come with me. I was telling him, I just, it goes against everything you're taught as a kid. Yeah, it does. Come with me. I was telling my mother, I just said, just grab a shirt, grab what you need to grab and

pull them down. I'll deal with the fallout. And they'd gotten themselves in a tizzy and they were crying and sweating. Yeah, because this man was like reaching them away. Hairy man in high-vis, come here kids. I've been told it, well that won't cause any lifelong trauma anyway, so that's good. But I went home and I said to their mum, like, that's it, I'm never, ever going to Bunnings again. Well, if you find a better story, we'll beat it by 15%.

Thank you so much. So thanks again. Have a great one Linda, keep safe out in the fog. Okay. Everyone, keep safe out in the fog. Okay. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hats.

Now speaking of school holidays, we're fresh back from them and what I realised, and you've said this before actually Ben, is when you are at home and you insert yourself into the morning routine you realise what a nuisance you are. And you feel like a bench player who's been shoved on there by the coach and everyone else on the team is like, we're having a pretty good bloody season without this idiot. Yeah, because we work here in the mornings, so yeah, at home you're right. The family have got their systems, they've got their stuff, you know. All our families have got their stuff going on without us.

And it's like, it's a fine-tuned machine. There's a time, like, get it done, do this, do that, do that. Yeah. Andrew runs higher and bestie in the morning. I'm sure that if you were there in the morning, he'd be like, we've got it, we've got it. Even in the weekends when I'm like making the breakfast, he's like, she doesn't eat that. It makes me feel terrible. I'm like, oh my god, okay, he won't eat that. You're like, ah. You are a bad mother, just so you know.

Just a terrible, shocking mother. Thank you. But one thing I did notice is because I am up before the rest of the family even on the weekends. I don't find myself sort of staying in bed too much longer so I don't really get to witness what happens when people wake up and so I thought I might try one morning this sleeping in thing and see what that's like. Apparently it's a thing, people enjoy it. Apparently it's a thing, people enjoy it. And then I noticed Jen, who is my wife, a lovely wife, she goes to work and she has the alarm set for, I think it was like 5.50am or whatever. Okay and it goes off once.

Then she hits snooze. I'm like alright okay, I'll give you one snooze. She repeats the process, loops the snooze button six times. And that's her thing. And I said to her, why don't you just set the alarm for the period that you've, you know, say 25 minutes of snoozing and waking up and snoozing. You could just set it for that thing and go,

hey, I enjoyed a rich, but she's like, that's how I like to ease into. With the constant 10 minute alarms. Just breaking the sleep cycle. Yeah. There's two types of people in the world. The snoozes and the hit the alarm and get up. And we're all hit the alarm aren't we? You've got to get max sleep.

I put our phones, because I don't like sleeping next to our phones, into a little room next to the things. And I thought that was good because the alarm goes off and you're up. You've got to go turn it off. I didn't realise the same thing when I'm staying at home with my wife. My wife just goes, Siri stop. Siri stop. Just yells it off. I didn't realise the same thing when I'm staying at home with my wife. My wife just goes, Siri stop! Siri stop! Just yells it out. She just yells it out. Siri, stop that! Siri snooze. I'm like, oh she's hacked it. She's hacked my system. I was like, you've

got to get up. You've got to start your day. Oh sorry, you've planted the phone in the other room so you wake her up. Yeah, well she's up. Her alarm goes off. She just says, Siri stop. Siri stop. Siri Siri shut your face. Not today. Getting up and getting into the day. So yeah, so there's ways around those systems for those people. Even my husband does that but he will set multiple actual alarms. So he'll turn it off and then another one goes and you're like just get up. This is torture.

It feels like it's like slow removal of the plaster. It's not going to get any better, I don't think. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hads. You got out smart and out wizards out played. Oh yeah. Isn't that the catchphrase for Survivor? Yeah, we were on an island.

We went to Rarotonga for a few days. It was lovely there. The weather was amazing. The people were so friendly. Everyone's like, we're on island time. It's a place where you can see why everyone's so happy and relaxed. How does it sit with you? Because you're a guy who likes to get stuff done, likes to be on time.

Island time would not sit well with you. I don't think I'm quite at the island time pace, you know? But it's probably quite good to be there. But then, happy hour, suddenly that finished it. That stopped. I was like, what happened to island time? Very strict on something. Two minutes late for happy hour. I was like, island time.

That's where, sorry, the cash register changes. I was like, oh, okay. Now the Island Time slips by the wayside. So ironically, it made you unhappy. Yeah, no, we had a great couple of days there with the family. But I'm not a very, like I'm an active relax. I'm not a relaxed sort of, sit at the beach sort of person. And my teenage daughters, now they're both teenagers, they always talk about the UV these days.

They always don't know what the UV's doing. Seems to be a thing that teens are all into. The UV's good today, we're gonna sit out. I'm like, guys, you don't wanna just sit out in the sun. Believe you me, when you get to our age, the sun's not always a freak. You're like, I really wish I was good with the sunscreen back in the day.

So we're on a beach, and they had sunscreen on, look at UV, and I'm like, guys, we're not gonna sit down. I'm getting impatient. Island time, bruh. What did you wanna do? Well, I was like, I don't know. And what did you expect to be doing in Raro? It's just like, we can do some stuff. We can do some stuff while we're here

rather than just lying in the sun. Like scoot around and around in the circle? There's paddle boards. I saw some paddle boards. I was like, great. I'll hire two paddle boards. There were two left. I'll hire that.

We can do that for an hour. Let's get on some paddle boards, guys. Let's do an activity. If there was any place in the world where you can actually lie on a beach, it's an island. I did for a bit and then 10 minutes later I'm like I've done that, okay. Did anyone else want a paddle board? Well I was like kids you have a paddle board, you go first, I'll see if they'll get into it rather than lying in the sun, you go out and paddle board. So they had it, we had this for an hour, these paddle boards, they took it out and then what they did is they went way too far, they're still in a lagoon, so it's very

safe, but they went far away from mine. I couldn't yell out to them. They were right at the other end and then I saw them lying down. Sunbathing on the paddle board. And all I could think of was, I've only got an hour and also you're sunbathing and I'm like trying to wave, like bring them back, bring them back. Cause I didn't even go, I didn't get to paddleboard the whole time they were out there, too far from me. But Island Time an hour should buy you two hours redortion.

All you did was give them the means to get away from you. Exactly, yeah, outsmarted by the teenagers, yeah. So no, Island Time finishes about an hour for paddleboards as well. That's a hard system to get your head around. Isn't there, isn't there like the drink driving over there, isn't it just an honesty system? I don't think it is anymore. I think there's a fit, yeah. Because apparently I heard a wonderful story, the guy got pulled over and he's like, have you been drinking? He's like, nope. And they're like, we'll take your word for it then. Have a great day.
