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 Tuesday as we try and solve the best TV theme tune of all time. We're going to start tomorrow, actually, a knockout tournament. And getting it down to 32 is going to be really tricky, actually. Yeah. I reckon we're going to have about 100. We're going to have 100 that we want to put in there. Yeah. We're going to have to be brutal.

We're having this meeting after this. We could have done like decades or genres and all sorts, couldn't we? There's enough there because we're just talking about before. There's so many things you're like, oh, Survivor or True Blood. Reality shows, teenage shows. Or Apprentice and all sorts of suits and a lot of great theme tunes out there. And it kind of depends on what shows you're into.

Now there's so many shows you're like, oh, I watched that and then maybe you haven't or vice versa. And do you go into cartoons? Because then there was a million of those.

You just played the Samurai Pizza Cats. Samurai Pizza Cats. Who do you call when you want some pepperoni? Samurai Pizza Cats. I loved that show. Yeah.

So we're going to have to be brutal. Megan, you suggested maybe categorising them anyway. So we go, we've got an even amount of cartoons, even amount of

90s drama. Yeah, some sort of quota system maybe. Maybe that's the only way to tackle it. We'll get to that tomorrow. I'm sure there'll be

controversies, but hey, that's what happens when you do the best theme tune of all time. You can see how people end up in communist states, can't you?

Because we've left it to the vote, and, jeez, the vote's been coming back with too many good suggestions. A lot of older ones, a lot of nostalgic old shows, like quite old shows. And it would be remiss of us to ignore them because they're coming through. Yeah, so really, you know, a lot of like your sort of cheers or Dukes of Hazzards or, you know.

There was even one for Golden Girls today. Yeah, and I did play the theme tune. It was a banger. It was a banger. It was a banger. But yeah, but it's... Is it too old? Are we age-shaming Golden Girls? Yeah, maybe we shouldn't.

It's based on theme tunes. So we'll find out tomorrow what makes the cut. But right now, a very awkward conversation that I had over the weekend. I'm noticing more and more on social media, some companies putting out little things today that you sometimes go, this is obviously April Fool's.

Sometimes, though, as we said before, you're like, well, do this. This is a great idea for a product. Yeah, a lot of them are products. We don't know if it is an April Fool's prank or not. We can't confirm or deny, but Subway have said we're doing chip buddies, and we're all like, do it.

Hot chips. Yeah, it's a crime if you don't do that. What was the soft serve one you saw? Confirm or Deny, but Subway have said we're doing chipped buddies, and we're all like, hot chips. Yeah, it's a crime if you don't do that. What was the soft serve one you saw? There was like a Burger King one, which was soft served inside a burger, instead of burger bun. Kind of sad to say I'd try that. You'd probably give it a go, right?

Yeah, even if it was like one day only, you'd be like, well, let's try it. The thing with pranking is back in the day it had to shock you, it had to really catch you. Now we're like, oh, yeah, that doesn't sound too bad, actually. Oh, you'd give it a go? Yeah, I'd try that shit, buddy. Definitely try that shit, buddy. Now, I was talking to someone in the weekend, and they worked in – it was quite interesting.

We were talking, and they worked in movies, on movie sets and stuff as well. And I was like, oh, what sort of job do you do in the movies? And this is where I got it wrong. They said they were in charge of sex scenes. Well, this is what I heard. I heard sex scenes. Wow. they were in charge of sex scenes. Well, this is what I heard. I heard sex scenes. Wow. I was like, oh, okay.

Like an intimacy coordinator? That's exactly what I thought. Yeah. There are those roles out there. And I was like, wow, okay. So then my follow-up questions were all related to what I'd heard in my head. Yeah. So I was like, okay, interesting job.

You've got to make sure the director and the art department are all happy. They're like, yeah, yeah, you do. You make sure everyone's happy. I was like, good. So job. You've got to make sure the director and the art department are all happy. They're like, yeah, yeah, you do. You make sure everyone's happy. I was like, good. So far we're having some good conversation. I'm like, okay, you've got to make sure. I'm guessing you've got to make sure the actors are okay with everything that you're doing, right? It's okay to touch this and that.

Yeah, this person she started talking about. Yeah, you're right. And if the actor picks up a coffee cup, you've got to make sure that it's back in the same place when you do it again. I'm like, oh, they're doing it again multiple times. And starting with a coffee cup. And why are they putting a coffee cup into the lovemaking scene that was interesting she's like you've got to be particular about that if they're drinking coffee at the start you know and we do it again they've got to be drinking coffee again i'm like oh okay sometimes you want to pre and post cordial coffee yeah and then i was like awkward question but what how much do they cover up you know

when they're on set you know and she was like what are you talking about I was like your job I know what you're talking about not your job

you just told me about and she's like what do you think I do you're like movies she's like yep and I like sex scenes

she's like no I set scenes I'm a scene setter like continuity and stuff all the props and costumes and stuff

and so hence if someone picks up a coffee cup and they have a drink of it, then I've got to make sure that coffee cup is... I'm like, oh my god. Because you can see her kind of in her head. She'd be like, wow, this is a really unusual line of questioning from this idiot. Yeah. Really going in a lot on the sexy stuff.

Yeah. And I'm going, coffee cups? You pervert. Why is she talking about coffee cups? Sometimes you hear what you want to hear, don't you, Megan? Don't you? Maybe that was it, too. Yeah. I was like, oh, she's got any other questions? No, not really.

No, but she would have said, I set scenes. What did you say? I sex scenes. I just said sex scenes. Sex scenes. Oh, uh-oh. Got an OnlyFans. I'm like, oh, okay.

And so were you in a party situation? Yeah, well, there's a few other people around. Yeah, so it's hard to hear. There was one at the symphony, a guy was like, I had to go get, well, he said, my colon tested that day, a friend of mine. Did you straw?

Yeah, no, I thought he said cologne tested. No, I said, oh, you smell magnificent. And then he had to read it. He's like, no, the other part, the part of referencing doesn't smell anywhere in here is good John O'Bien and Megan The Podcast The Hits

First of April that means it's April Fool's Day so keep your wits about you today this morning as we said before it's hard for actual news

because you're a bit weary right? You're so sceptical everything you're like even when I walked into work this morning I was like something's going to happen

something's going to happen and I came into the studio there was a lot it was actually when the red lights were on I was like, something's going to happen. Something's going to happen. I came into the studio. There was a lot. It was actually when the red lights were on. I'm like, am I getting pranked? It wasn't. Someone just left a button on. He's always on high alert anyway, but today he's on 120 high alert.

Like front page of the paper, Trump lashes Putin over ceasefire demands. April Fool's. Thank God that's a joke. April Fool's. Hopefully he's pranking when he says he wants a third term. But anyway, we decided to try and get one of our parents And we thought your mum She's great on radio, Ray Ray

She doesn't like shenanigans though She's not a shenanigan person But then she brings the shenanigans So I don't Yeah She's a special lady Now in 2025 You've got to be really careful with your approach to pranking

There was a time on radio Where I'd phone people up and be like Oh you're adopted Stuff like that. And that was considered entertainment back then. You can't do that nowadays. People would tell you off. So we've got some low-level gaslighting that we're going to do with Ray Ray.

We're going to pretend Megan's going to phone her up and pretend she can't hear her. Are you there? Mum! This is on the landline turn. She has trouble with it all the time. Frustrating for any sort of person in the boomer age group. Don't answer her cell phone because she has trouble with the landline turn. She has trouble with it all the time. Frustrating for any sort of person in the boomer age group. Don't answer her cell phone.

She has trouble with the landline. Doesn't get any safer than this prank. But good luck, Megan. Thank you. April Fool's, Ray. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Are you there, Mum? Where are you? Are you there? Hello. Hello? Are you there, Mum? Where are you? Are you there? Hello? Hello? Are you at the airport? I've got to pick you up. Mum?

What? Can you hear me? What? Mum? Mum? I'm talking. I can't do it. April Fools, Ray Ray. April Fools. Oh'm talking. I can't do it. April Fools, Ray Ray.

April Fools. Oh, hi. We could hear you. We could hear you the whole time. Yeah, wow. We're coming up the heavy hitter this morning. It's a big one. Hang on a minute.

Wait on. Oh, now she's ignoring us. She's like, that great joke, guys. No. You thought we couldn't hear you, but we could hear you the whole time. Perfectly fine. And I ran all the way down the road because we've got a bit of traffic congestion up our street, and I was doing patrol, and I ran all the way down the road,

and I thought, there'd not be those dickwicks from the radio. The dickwicks. You know that's your daughter, part of those dickwicks, eh? Yeah. I just about ruptured my blimmin'. Just turn her down. And you're like, it wasn't even worth it. It wasn't even worth it.

Dickwits. You win this one, Ray Ray. What are you patrolling? The traffic on your street. Nice chatting. Oh, okay, see ya. She's revving it up, mate. She's going to go back to it.

Bye. Are you going back to patrol? No, it's all right. I've got the road cones out now. Oh my God. You realise there's traffic management to people who do this? Yeah. Traffic management. I've just got all the road cones out.

All the men have gone past and shook their fist at me. I didn't quite know if that was the new kind of wave. How many road cones are you managing? We've got four at the moment, but we're going to get barrier arms shortly. What for? Where are you getting all these road cones?

Down the yard. You guys got a yard, Megan? Yeah, we do. All right. Okay. Why are you cordoning off your house? No, I'm not cordoning off the house. I'm shutting the road down.

Why? Why? What's going on? I'm stopping the cordoning off the house. I'm shutting the road down. Why? What's going on? I'm stopping the traffic coming around the corner. Are you allowed to do that? Oh, is there rules? Oh, my God. This is what I've grown up with, everyone.

Vigilante, is it? I think we're in the rule book where it says I can't stop the road. There probably is some sort of rule book that says you can't do that. But anyway. Before, we were having a bit of a street party and we said all these cars coming up so Wayne and I said we'll fix that so we got the cones out of the van

and put them all around the car. Ray Ray, you just can't shut off a street. Sweetheart, there's no such thing as can't. I'm pretty sure there is. It's motivation, motivation. You don't take no. Welcome to my childhood.

I love it. All right, Mum. Back to it. Keep up the good work. You two, I'll have to get out my policeman's hat. Oh, God. Okay, now she's impersonating police officers. It doesn't go well.

No, hey, yeah. You can't do that. That's a card. Keep up the good work. All right, see you. See you, Ray Ray. Okay, bye. She's pulling the ultimate April Fool's prank

On the motorists Of her street Yes she does The police are going to Pull a prank on her one day Is this a common thing When you were growing up Absolutely

Champagne mum Shut off roads No she does the shenanigans All the time Oh wow Jono, Ben and Megan The podcast The hits

I had to go to A bit of a school Function then And the light banter. You know, light banter was engaged. Little cheese cubes on sticks were deployed and it was all going. How are you at schmoozing? Not good. Do you rate your schmooze?

Nah. Nah, what do you do? I linger around you because you love to chat. So you just kind of politely nod and smile? Yeah, not a lot. I don't don't know i just i'm not very good at asking questions i find i'm pretty good for it to a limit and then sometimes you're like how do you keep do you know do you keep it going or not because you're always conscious of someone's time it's a wrapping it up you know especially in an event you need to go around talk to lots of

people you're like five you know it's almost like five minutes and now i need to move on because they probably want to move on yeah because i end up getting stuck remember I got stuck for like an hour and a half because I don't I don't know how to go okay you really deep dived with that gentleman I did what was what were you what on earth were you talking about I think it's your husband now right yeah he was in a relationship I think I think it's how it started yeah I learned about his whole career yeah an hour and a half it was interesting but I could have left a bit earlier. But yeah, so you also got to, I've got to be careful to calibrate myself too, that I don't get into interview mode.

You know, I've been guilty of that. Guilty as charged. Interviewing people on planes and buses. But people find that really like endearing when someone asks lots of questions about you, you know, in a conversation. Or taxing, or exhausting. Could be other words to describe it as well. I was trying to make it a positive.

But the other one that I wanted to get to with this sort of function is there's always a dress code applied there. Smart, casual. The door's wide open with smart, casual. Open to interpretation, isn't it? And there was a range of people. There was guys in stubbies and t-shirts, right through to three-piece suits.

Smart Casual can mean anything. Anyone's idea of what Smart Casual is varies greatly, doesn't it? Yeah. I mean, you could be in Smart Casual right now. To me, that's what Ben's wearing, a jean jacket, pants, and a t-shirt. That's Smart Casual. Yeah, I'd say that's Smart Casual. For me, Smart Casual wouldn't include a hat. Kevin Boyce, my dad, pants and a t-shirt, that's smart casual. I would probably wear a cap for me.

Smart casual wouldn't include a hat. Kevin Boyce, my dad, who's a principal, he's like, it's always better to be overdressed than underdressed. He always put on my head. He said,

you're always going to feel way more awkward if you're underdressed at something than overdressed. To just go over the top rather than underneath. That's my mantra. That's what I say to the kids all the time. We're going somewhere,

you better look like you're dressed up and you're respecting the place rather than, you know. So I wear the tuxedo to the monthly staff meeting. But it wouldn't matter. I would happily wear that rather than coming in my Crocs. You know, I'd much rather be in a suit than a pair of Crocs. Yeah.

Even though I love the Crocs in the weekend. Because that says like, oh, he's taking it too seriously rather than not taking it seriously. It's seriously enough. Yeah. Yeah, I know. And this is the wide range he's got. He's got Crocs, and he's got a tuxedo.

I know, and I'm happy to wear either or. I can cover all bases. Sometimes he'll wear, would you wear the Crocs with the tuxedo? Well, no, no, not at all, no. I will, yeah, the old smart casual, I think they're just a bit mean to, well, you know black tie,

you know what you need to do with a black tie. Yeah, yeah. You know, the mission is clear. With a black tie. I know Because someone who sets The smart casual rule Is always going to turn up

And go Oh that person You know They're going to be This is on you You said it's either smart or casual That could be a shirt on the top And Speedos on the bottom

Speedos are casual Aren't they I've got casual legs And I'm all business at the top We have acting legend Rebecca Gibney with us In the studio Noah from shows such as Packed to the Rafters business at the top. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. We have acting legend Rebecca Gibney with us in the studio.

Yeah, brought in Levin. Apparently it's one of the shit towns of New Zealand. That's how I've been told. You got a good joke about it. Levin, Levin, La Loca, like Ricky Martin's live. Levin, Levin, La Loca. It could be the slogan. You've got a good joke about it. Living, living, la loca, like Ricky Martin's live. Living, living, la loca. It could be the slogan. I've got a star in living.

You've got a star here? I've got a star, apparently. Oh, really? I haven't been there yet. But yeah, apparently, it's actually not a star. It's the QR code that you... You have to scan on. It takes you to a link.

It's a new age star. Carlos Spencer, the all-black, he used to live in, wasn't he? Yeah, I was a host for that region. Carlos., the all-black he's. Levin, wasn't he? Yeah, he was from that region. Carlos. Yeah, you and Carlos probably got QR codes so you can scan in anywhere you want and live in. And now you've obviously worked in New Zealand and Australia,

but this new project back in New Zealand, Tauranga. Was that right? Tauranga, yeah. Well, we shot a lot of it in Auckland, but we did a lot of... It's set in, yeah. It's a really cool idea, happiness. Yeah, Tauranga Amateur Musical Theatre.

It's kind of a bit of Schitt's Creek meets Glee. Awesome. But very Kiwi. It's very good. I mean, the music's astonishing. The performances are amazing. It's a great show. Because you've had an incredible career over in Australia.

And recently you've brought a lot of your projects back over here. I have. Tried to. Yeah. With Wanted. We started with Wanted and then we did Under the Vines. It's very against the grain. A lot of Kiwis are going over to Australia.

You're doing it the other way around. Well, I know because New Zealand's so amazing. We were talking about it last night and it's a shame that all the Kiwis keep disappearing to America or Australia. It's like, but we've got it all here. It's just we need the government to give us a bit more money. Well, now's the time to ask for it. Okay.

Let's get it. Let's get it. I don't know if the government are listening to our show. Oh, they're not? No. I don't think so. What do you think you're most well known for? Because you've done so many shows over the years.

I was looking last night, Flying Doctors, Packed to the Rafters, Sensing Murder was a big one in New Zealand. I do know someone else brought that up. Brodie Kane brought that up the other day. That's a huge, iconic show. She was like, I love that show. I loved that show. Did you?

Yes. They always sensed the murder. They never solved it. They never solved it. I was just sensing it. It wasn't solving murders. There was one murder that they almost did solve

and then she she was able to identify who did it but when they went to look into it he was dead ah did you believe

as the host that these people were on to the murder some of them yeah absolutely yeah so do you reckon

you're most well known for what show what would people say or does it depend sensing murder that's what I get all the time yeah

back to the rafters Mostly In Australia Yeah Flying doctors So do you live here or there? I live here Great

I live in Marlborough Where the wine is Under the vines With wine There's a theme going Yeah Yeah totally So the show

Yeah Happiness is You know Amateur musical theatre Yeah What was your theatre experience like growing up? Nothing. Did you draw on anything for this?

No, because I'm terrified of going on stage. Although you did Dancing with the Stars in Australia. Oh, man. You know what? I got to 60 last year and I went, I'm going to say yes to everything. Everything that comes along, I'm going to say yes to. So I said yes. And then I went, yes.

So the 15-year-old in me went, yeah, Dancing with the Stars. Two weeks into training, I couldn't move. And the 60-year-old's going, what have you done, you idiot? You're playing that down because I saw on your Instagram that you pretty much did the splits. Oh, no, by the end of it, I was doing the splits. You were doing the splits? Almost, yeah.

Jeez. So did you enjoy the experience? I'm gathering knowledge. Do you know what? No, I loved a lot of it and I hated a lot of it because it brings up a whole bunch of stuff. Like if you've been around as long as I have, if you can't do something well, you don't want to do it.

So I got into week three of it and I went, I can't do this. Where's the door? I want to get out. I'm like, too late, mate. You've signed a contract. You've got to stick with it. So it was fun, but it was hard. Like everything hurt for weeks.

Weeks. We have a budding actor in the studio. Do we? Yeah. I don't know have a budding actor in the studio. Do we? Yeah. I don't know if you've met this young man, Jono Pryor. Just please don't drag me into this. Have you got any advice for our young friend wanting to become a serious actor? Well, put me in it.

I'll give you all the advice you want. Have you seen the show? Maybe you should see it first. Well, count this as we've cast Rebecca for season two of this. The only way you get advice is by paying you Exactly Now you've spent a lot of time both sides of the Tasman of course There's a lot of debate over things

Both sides of the Tasman So I thought maybe I could throw things at you And you can make the decision on your knowledge Pavlova, who's taking it? New Zealand Far Lap? New Zealand A flat white?

Russell Crowe Oh Australia Okay Crowded house New Zealand The meat pie Ooh New Zealand

And yourself Rebecca Gibney Yeah well I'm a Kiwi There we go Clearly Mind you if I was an Australian in a radio station You'd be saying the opposite

of all those things Yeah to the home crowd Exactly Rebecca lovely to meet you yeah you too congratulations on all the success thank you watch Happiness

it's a really amazing show yeah it's awesome it's probably a little bit cleaner than your show it's a lot better than my show there's no one with their pants down in it

but it's actually really good Jono, Ben and Megan the podcast the hits right now though someone slid into your DMs and this one's to do with following dreams. Starting businesses.

Yeah, I'm going to read this out, and you can pass judgment and give advice if you've got some for this woman. She says, Dear Megan and team, I'm a 45-year-old woman. I have recently made the decision to quit my stable, well-paying job to follow my dream of starting my own business. The problem is that my husband hates the idea. He thinks I'm being reckless, especially since we still have a mortgage and children in secondary school. I've saved up some money, but he says I'm putting our family

at risk. I see it as finally taking a chance on myself after years of putting everyone else first. We've always been a great team, but this is causing serious tension between us. Am I being selfish Sounds like she spent so long not chasing her dreams that people just thought she'd given up on her dreams. You know, and people get used to that. Yeah. They're like, this is the norm. This is how this place operates. Especially like when you have kids,

you kind of, you've got to put them first for a bit and you kind of lose yourself sometimes. Maybe she's come out the other side and she's like, do you know what? I'm going to do something for me. Well, hey, they do say never too old to give up on your dreams, apart from when Joe Biden was US president. He was officially too old

and they told him to give up on his dream of being president. I saw some comedian making a great point the other day. He's like, you imagine any relative you had that's 80 years old. Think of them standing up in front of all the people. He did a remarkable job under those circumstances. Because anyone in your family would be like, oh, dear God. And there was a lot of that. Yeah, they had to carry him out.

They had to walk him out. Yeah, I mean, there was a bit of that. So he might have been too old to give up, you know, the dream of running the country of the US. But my suggestion, my honest suggestion would be, can she still continue her run-of-the-mill soul-sucking job and at night and on the weekends hack away at the... That sort of side hustle that she builds up on.

That's maybe one option. On the Facebook page, that is a popular comment. A lot of people have said, or try and do it part-time, the other job. Build it up. Rather than quit completely. But there is something to be said, try and do it part-time, the other job. Build it up. Rather than quit completely. But there is something to be said about just going for it, you know, and actually not having that plan B and giving it a go.

And it sounds like in this instance the husband's not that supportive of that. And I get why, but at the same time, you don't want to look back in 10 years and go, I wish I should have done that, right? Yeah, that's the hard thing. I've got a husband who every day has a different dream, and it's really draining. Well, stop ruining his dreams. No, see, I end up being the realist, but he wanted to start a cafe,

and I was like, God, no. We ended up doing it, and it went really well for us because he poured himself into it. So I understand both sides. He had a point to prove, and he proved it beautifully. I understand both sides. Let him spread his wings, Megan. It's really hard to prove, and he proved it beautifully. I understand both sides. Let him spread his wings, Megan. It's really hard to be the person, too, that puts a handbrake on someone's dream.

Yeah. It doesn't go well. I've got a friend at the moment. Her partner, he wants to start a business. They've rented an office, him and his mate. They don't have the business yet, but they're renting an office. She's like, okay, okay. I feel like they've done it the other way around, but it'll come. She's backing

him, which is awesome. So he's just gone, well, first board a call, get an office. They play a lot of board games, apparently. Oh my god, that's not going to pay the lease. That's the board meeting. He's had great businesses before in the past to his credit, so you know. Okay, we'll get cracking on those. Okay, I'll wait 100 minutes.

Have you been in this situation? Is the husband being a stick in the mud? Not supportive. Colonel Sanders didn't start KFC until his 60s. Wow. He had many failed businesses, so you've got to keep ploughing on. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast.

The hits. Megan. Someone has slid into your DMs, Megan. Yeah, so a 45-year-old woman, she said she has made the decision to quit her job, follow her dreams of starting a business. Her husband is nervous because they still have a mortgage, they have children in secondary school. He's obviously a bit worried about money.

So you've got a realist and a dreamer trying to live together. Sounds like my relationship. You don't want to get in the position where she resents staying and not following her dreams, but also you don't want to get in a position where you're homeless and can't pay for the mortgage as well, which is another big thing to factor in. Just mentioned, you know, Colonel Sanders didn't kick KFC off until he was in his 60s.

Had loads of failed businesses. Imagine if he was the Colonel's partner. Would have been like, mate, Colonel, when are we going to get, now you want to do fried chicken? 65 years old? Imagine the things you could do if you didn't have a fear. Like if you weren't afraid of anything. Imagine what you could achieve.

So maybe this is the advice? You're thinking what's happening on the text? So on our Facebook, this is a great one from Tanita. She said, you both need to really talk about the risk you're taking on and the potential benefits.

It's a decision that needs to be made together because it has the ability to affect your entire family. A business doesn't typically make any money in the first year. That being said,

it could go really well. So why not go for it? Someone on the text machine said, life is short. I work daily diagnosing people with cancer. She should do it. You don't know what tomorrow will bring. Oh, well, there you go.

That's got to factor that in as well. Jason, you've been in this position. Yeah. Your advice? Do it. Just do it. It's the hardest thing you'll ever do. Just do it. And what did you, you left a job, did you, and kicked off a new dream? Yep, just do it. It's the hardest thing you'll ever do. Just do it.

And what did you, you left a job did you and kicked off a new dream? Yep, yep, yep. I quit the job I was working for. I had no choice but to start a business and I worked so hard. I still work hard. It's still as stressful as ever, but I love it. Sounds like you're living the dream. Well good on you for doing that, for taking that step, because obviously that's a pretty hard thing to do. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was massive.

It was a massive thing to do. But it definitely pays off. There are times where you earn really good money, and there's a lot of times you're chasing your tail, but it's still worth it. What do you think this woman needs to have to succeed? She's got to have lots of drive. It's constant.

I've been in it 10 years and I just drive and drive and drive and push myself every single day. Yeah. Oh, good. At what age did you do this, make this change? I was 40.

Wow, good on you, Jason. Wow, good stuff. Jason, we're going to hook you up. It's April Fuels today and thanks to Gas Petrol Service Stations, we're going to hook you up with a $50 gas gift card. Oh, nice. Thank you. Good on you Jase, appreciate that.

Kimbo, you're on the air. Morning guys. Welcome to dear Megan. You have some advice, is it time for her to give up on her dreams or chase them? Oh no, I think do it, do it, do it. I had a, well a similar situation, I was an early childhood teacher for nearly 20 years and it just wasn't filling my cup anymore and I decided to jump the fence to primary but I didn't have a permanent job so I just my husband was like just quit quit. Go relieving. We'll sort it. We'll make it work. And now two years on, I've got a

permanent job at a special needs school in Pairoa and I absolutely love it. That's great, Kim. That's great. If I hadn't done it, I would have still been miserable. It's been an inspired morning. I think it's all inspired everyone to quit their jobs

and go and live their dreams I think that's what we're saying Is that the advice that we're going to give to the follower dreams? I think so, there's quite a few people on the Facebook page being like no risk, no reward, go for it you only live one life Don't come back to us in six months if it doesn't work out

but right now follow your dreams and give it a go Talk it through with your husband too yeah also yeah this is just radio people advice from people who have no idea who you are

or what your situation is you can always fold the business and get another job right oh absolutely yeah absolutely John O'Bannon Megan

the podcast the hits we're just a quick debate a big debate to just do quickly before the show ends cats or dogs or can you love both

and I think it's okay to love both. Producer Grace's point is, producer Grace who's a cat lover, you say cat people are more open to liking dogs than dog people are cat people. Yes, that is my point. And I agree with that, that's a very true statement. But, okay, producer Ali who's always owned cats, always been a cat

person, has just got a dog. And I love her to bits and I will say, what I'm going to say is they're very different creatures and they offer different things. I think the PR for cats has been awful. But I can now understand the dog thing.

They do need a better publicity person. Brand damage over the years. Cats don't really care though, do they? That's the problem. Whatever, say what you want. I don't read the comments. Exactly. You've got to invest in cats, that's the thing. But then I'd argue they're actually very rewarding when you invest in cats. Dogs are just like,

I love you already! I love you! But I think a dog would take a bullet for you. A cat would sit on your warm corpse. That's the personality comparison. Carol! Cat or dog, Carol? I prefer dogs.

I read both. But I think dogs are more loyal than cats. There you go. Grace, more loyal. No, I don't agree. She's just, Grace has got cat energy. That's why. Yeah, she's very similar.

I think cats are very Gen Z. They just don't care. And I don't care. That's probably very true, actually. So you have to work harder for your cat's affection. Yeah, you have to put more effort in. And I just think dog people just might not like rejection from the cats. Well, Carol, we are going to give you, it's April Fuels Day at gas petrol service stations.

And we're going to give you a $50 voucher. Thank you. Oh, thank you. That'll be awesome. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hits. John O'Bannon and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Ben and Megan footage in Melbourne.

CCTV footage of a cat going on board a train, just sneaking on board the train. Went on a 17K trip. It was a great time. Got lots of cuddles from the passengers and then got delivered home safety again later that day. They're so independent. What a legend. This leads us nicely on to our next topic.

Now, a little bit of a back story. Producer Ellie has been pro-cat for how many years would you say, Ellie? Oh, my entire life. And I still love him.

I still love him. I've owned a lot of them and never had a dog but I have just got a dog. And she's turned. She says, I love dogs now. Now, up until this point

was pro-cat, backed the cat. There's a lot of finger waggling going on every time you say it. Now, Producer Grace who is a big Backed the cat There's a lot of finger waggling Going on every time you say Now producer Grace Who is a big backer of cats Not a fan of dogs No

No John Are you actually putting lies In my mouth And I think lies In Ellie's mouth I think Ellie likes both Right Yes that's the thing

Cat people This is where I'm coming from Cat people tend to like dogs too Me and Ellie both like dogs But I just tend to like cats more But you three Are cat haters No I'm not

I'm off in bands Sorry I've had many cats over cat haters. No, I'm not. I'm up and banned, sorry. I've had many cats over the years. Surprisingly for me, I'm on the fair. I love both. Yeah, you like both? See, that's okay. I don't see why you can't love both. Exactly.

I'm allergic to cats. They make me swell up and sneeze and feel bloody awful. Yeah, well, I'm allergic to dogs too. And they scratch you. No, they don't, Megan. Ah, yeah, they do. Stop, it's probably your fault. So you're saying dogs bite you, and some do, some don't.

I've never been bitten by a dog, but I've been scratched by a lot of cats. So your point being that cat people are a lot more open to liking the other species, whereas dog people are shut off. They're all dog, all day. Yeah, we're just here to advocate for cats. Cats get a lot of hate. They're always seen as the bad guy. But most of the time, bro, they're just chill.

They just need their own personal space. You just need to put a bit more effort in. The thing is, now everyone here but you has owned both. Okay. Most of the time, bro, they're just chill. They just need their own personal space. You just need to put a bit more effort in. The thing is, now everyone here but you has owned both. Okay. So we can say. Oh, I can't even point out that card, have you? It's like you haven't owned a dog to understand how amazing they are.

I have spent summers up at the grandparents with farm dogs. Not the same. I know it's not the same, I understand dogs I like dogs no okay great you spend far more time apologizing for a dog than you do a cat don't you yeah you said that yesterday that's a very good point that's the one thing about dogs I feel lets it down then dogs know it too they let themselves down all the time because we have to follow them around and pick up their poop cats are free to poop anywhere in my garden And the owners don't have to pick it up There's cat poo all through my freaking garden

Dogs are like that out of touch uncle That you're always having to apologise for I think Megan's lying Because cats bury their poop No they do So there must be something wrong with the cat And it's sick and you're just hating on it No it's just an a-hole

And it's pooping in my cherry tomatoes We're not going to be ourselves this morning But we love your thoughts. Cats or dogs, or maybe you're on the fence and you like both. Yeah. And that's fine. Can you pitch a case for both? Is Grace right?

Are cat people friendlier than the dog people? Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. This weekend, Megan, the hotly anticipated Daylight Savings. Daylight Saving, sorry. It's not a plural. That winds people up, doesn't it?

It does, it does. Yeah, it's like when you have an issue With the ASB bank The B's already there So how that pushes your buttons Savings and savings That's why I did correct myself So daylight saving happening this weekend

So the clocks Again you're a big supporter of this I'm writing bullet points Can I just start by saying less than 40% of the world Do again, you're a big supporter of this. I'm writing bullet points. Can I just start by saying less than 40% of the world do this, do daylight saving. Yeah, but that doesn't mean that we have to copy less than. I'm like, give us the sunshine one, and then just stick with that all year.

I don't really care about winter. It's going to be dark and cold and miserable either way. So just stick with the sunshine hour one all year round. So we're on daylight saving time all year round, and then it's not a job of change. But that means that we get a lot of light in the morning when, you know, like we don't get light. We don't maximize our light in the afternoon, in the evening. You do that one.

Do that one in summer and then stick with it. So from now, let's just stick with this time until again. And all six months time will be all back around. But then it's like really dark in the morning. Yes, it's dark and cold in winter. It's winter. We've got six months. It's not really making a huge difference to one hour

other than messing up your sleep patterns for me. It does make a difference because apparently it is, the more daylight you see makes you feel better. That's what we're getting. We're getting that later. We're getting that later. It's basically,

they put it in the war because they wanted people to save electricity. I mean, we're harping back to wartime. But we still need to save electricity. You know? So mum and dad are fighting over daylight savings. So if we stick with this time now. Yep, great.

Love it. Keep it going. It's going to be dark still by 8 o'clock in the morning. That's what it's like on the Gold Coast. It gets dark real early on the Gold Coast. But boy, they're up and at them. That's what he likes. He the Gold Coast. It gets dark real early on the Gold Coast. But boy, they're up and at them. That's what he likes. He likes people getting up and at them.

I hated that because it was like sunny at 5am. Everyone's up. They're doing stuff. And then it's dark again at like 6.30 in summer. So it's hot and we could have been at the beach. But you're not going to lie at the beach in the darkness. Get up and get into your day. Not until the other end of the day.

Lie on the beach at 4 in the morning, mate, when it's getting light. Also, it's safer for people to go out and do exercise when it's still warm in the evening. So you're maximising the daylight. Yeah, exactly. Thank you, Jono. Not everyone can. Okay, I'll enter the hats. Or 4487 this morning.

Daylight saving. Are you into it or not? Do you want the clocks to be messed up with this week? We've got no real choice. Oh, babes, it affects you for like a day and then you're over it. I reckon a week it messes with me. Oh, okay. A whole week?

In the cows. This one's better because it's easier to get up. You get an extra hour. It's easier to get up. But the other way, it just messes you up. People with kids and stuff. So one time in the year, you lose an hour and you're like, wah. Yeah.

Well, it's people with kids. We know young kids. It really does make it hard to get to sleep and stuff as well No, 800 The Hits We've got a gas petrol service station voucher For April Fuels Day April Fuels Day Daylight say

We kicked the things off yesterday saying that from Wednesday we want to do a head-to-head knockout style tournament to decide on the best TV theme tune of all time. This all came about when we were talking about

The White Lotus and how disappointed you are that they've replaced the theme tune with something that doesn't quite sound the same. This was the one you liked. This was season two. Love this one. You don't either new one as much. And you thought maybe this was the best theme tune

of all time. So we thought, well, let's find out. And we want your suggestions. 4487 on the text. What do you think the best theme tune is all time. So we thought, well, let's find out. And we want your suggestions. 4487 on the text. What do you think the best theme tune is? One of the most satisfying theme tunes, you would say, that one. Yeah, and the dance music.

Fun noise to wrap your mouth around. The Afternoon Show getting on board with this too. Maddie and PJ with Matilda Green. Maddie, he actually threw one out there that we hadn't thought of, but boy, it was impactful, wasn't it? Take a listen to what Maddie McLean's going to put his name behind. Only one answer for me.

It came immediately. It is The Nanny. Of course. She was working at a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens, till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes. So good. So good. It is a classic, because this was on like every day. Oh, yeah. So good. So good. It is a classic.

Because this was on like every day. Oh, yeah. You couldn't escape it. And I loved it. I love a TV theme song that gives you like the backstory. You know, like it just tells you a little bit extra. Yeah. It's a good one.

It's a good one. It's a really good one, yeah. It's like the one. Her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes. What was she to do? Where was she to go? She was out on her fanny. Boys get a good laugh

in New Zealand in America obviously the fanny is the behind in New Zealand it has other meanings but you know the front version yeah

and Manny does raise a good point there was a period there where you got like the Fresh Prince you got the whole back story of what the show was about

and it was very useful in 30 seconds which is actually quite great sometimes if you came in late to the series because it's not one of those ones that really matters week to week. Huge plot things are going to change but you want to know If you tap in for the first time you're like, okay

I know what this is all about. I've got it all. I can watch the show. He went to the airport and dressed as a pilot. The people at the airport, they didn't like it. You know, could be our felon friend Ben. You could do that. That would be the airport. They didn't like it. You know, it could really be our felon friend, Ben. You could do that. That would be the backstory.

British accent. They didn't like it. Sorry, that was my show tunes. Yeah, but some great votes coming through. Now, what we're doing after the show, we've blocked out nine hours today after the programme to whistle them down to 32. So we're taking your votes.

This has come through. Country calendar's got to be in there. Great TV theme tune. Do you know, it's a bit of production music. Now, when you write ads, I used to write ads, and that was first job, and CDs, you had production music which you can use commercial free on ads. This is a song from that, because I remember it was on a CD disc in there.

So you could use it on any ad. It was just free music. It was. See, I don't know if they've now got the rights and the border, but this was just something from a production disc. Not something made specifically for Country Calendar.

MacGyver. This was a big one of my childhood. Yeah, it's a great one. I distinctly remember straddling the couch. So you know where you rest your arms

on a couch? I would straddle the couch and pretend I was on a motorbike like MacGyver. Jeez, I love MacGy and pretend I was on a motorbike like Richard, like MacGyver. Jeez, I love MacGyver. I was on a Saturday night at 7.30.

He had a great mullet too, didn't he? Yeah, he had like, you know, chewing gum and a piece of string and somehow,

miraculously, blow up an entire 20-story building. Always just in time at the end too. I've always torn between going back to watch these episodes

or not. No, they're fondering your memory. Fondering your mind. Yeah, I've done that between going back to watch these episodes or not no they're pondering your memory I've done that with a couple of ones with the kids

We're going to do a head-to-head knockout tournament starting from tomorrow. Trying to narrow it down to 32 of the best theme tunes is going to be really tough.

Yeah, we've got producer Ellie in because you have a wonderful story to share about a song which you can almost guarantee is going to be in the top you have a wonderful story to share about uh a song which you can almost guarantee is going to be in the top 32. it better be is this your jam this one oh yeah this nostalgia it's really good i love it you uh you're a bit of an old soul when it comes to music too probably the beach boys youngest fan that would be me yep thank you very much um i love me old music, love me old shows. And what came back, I think it's on Netflix or something, all the kids, my kids

ended up watching Full House and loved it. Yes, I think Fuller House is on Netflix. They had the other one as well. Yeah, I loved it. But you went to San Francisco and spent how long recreating the title? Every title shot. I did a lot of that too.

I even ran, did you run through the park over the road from the houses? Yes, yes. Yeah, I did that in the amazing house. Yeah, no, Sam, my partner and I, we spent at least half a day

in San Francisco going to all the locations and recreating the whole video. I thought you were going to say a day and I was like, that's too much. Half a day is acceptable. We drove over the San Fran Bridge.

Yeah, we've got a video of us doing that. We went to the house. Yeah, we literally went everywhere we could. And there was one spot that we didn't realise it was in the opening credits, but we used it because it looked similar. And then we figured out it was the exact spot. Can we put your full house credits video up on the Hits Breakfast on social?

We'll put on the stories, yeah, for sure. Did you do anything else in San Fran? That was my main goal, was just to do that. Because people live in the house. The house. You can see it from the outside. Everyone gets their photo taken. It's pretty cool.

That must be the bane of those poor people. And that happened with the outrageous Fortune House in West Auckland. People would turn up on like Saturday night

and do burnouts and drink a beer on the lawn and they're like, guys, we're not as boganish as the show is. Yeah.

So many great texts are coming through. How about this one? This is a throwish as the show is. So many great texts are coming through. How about this one? This is a throwback from the 90s. Beverly Hills, 90210. What a show. Brandon, Dylan, Donna, Brenda. 28-year-olds pretending they were 17.

Everything highly dramatic. Someone would have some weed and be like, face the facts, he's a drug dealer now and stuff you're like what? he's just like face the facts

they're all so cool they're talking husky voices Dylan Dylan Dylan was was he at school or he was just hanging out with school kids?

what was he doing? he was the guy probably that left early had a cool car and came back and later in life you're like oh that was a bit weird

but at the time you're like he's so cool why are you hanging out with people your own age why are you coming back to school

go and get a job go to university Dylan Beverly Hills has come through as well I remember they had the docks

the white socks and the rolled up jeans rolled up their sleeves as well yeah that was pretty cool

oh god yeah that was a good one Sex in the City as well iconic are you more of a Carrie

or are you a Charlotte Megan what are you more of a Carrie or are you a Charlotte? Megan, what are you? Are you a Miranda? I'm not a Charlotte. I think I'm a Carrie. Oh, yeah. Like a fish. My wife loved this show.

Speaking of trekking around the places, we had to look for Carrie's stoop, the stairs in a house in New York. Me and my wife were hours and hours. What about this one? Looks kind of similar. No, we had to find the exact one. You've got to go shot for shot

Only one answer for me, it came immediately It is The Nanny, he talked about this on the show yesterday afternoon. Only one answer for me. It came immediately. It is The Nanny. Of course. She was working at a bridal shop and flashing queens till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes. So good. So good. It is a classic.

Because this was on like every day. Oh, yeah. You couldn't escape it. And I love a TV theme song that gives you the back story. You know, like it just tells you a little bit extra. So, yeah, he's putting his weight behind that. You'd have to say The Nanny's Going to Be in the 32. It's a very good one.

It's very hard to get it down to 32, though. We're getting so many great suggestions coming through. I thought we would get more votes for Friends, given that it's so beloved. But are we sick of that? Because we hear that song as a song. Maybe. Listen, a text has come through here. Now we're going to have to put aside certain controversies here.

Because it's not about the show, right? Not about the show. Not even about the people in the show. Okay? We're purely basing this on TV theme tune quality. And you're going to have to say the Cosby Show was a banger, guys. That was the later version of the Cosby Show. They had multiple versions.

Yeah, well, yeah. We'll put it in the maybes for now, right? Is it a maybe for you? Yeah. It's very hard not to have other stuff cloud it, right? It is. Take Cosby out of it. I just don't think it's that good of a song.

All right, we are 4487 on the text if you know one. Please help us out. So many great texts coming through. We've got Pauline. Morning to you, Pauline. How is life this morning? Good morning. It's fine, thank you.

That played for many, many years afterwards, though, Thunderbirds, right? I watched this when I was little. Thunderbirds. Things like that will probably stick the time. But the Thunderbirds, we'll probably um stick the time but the Thunderbirds I mean

yeah it'll never go away I think well that has gone away but it's not in our memories well we were like

We did touch on this one yesterday, but you're putting a vote in for what? Love and marriage. Oh, married with children. Yeah. Oh, I used to love this program. It was a good program. Probably a lot of it wouldn't stack up now, you know, some of this stuff, but it was very funny. We're talking theme tunes.

Nothing stacks up. Now, Cosby. Al Bundy was the iconic character, wasn't it? Yeah. Very good suggestion. Yeah, that's a really... Very Sinatra-esque singing. I think it is Sinatra.

Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Wow. Is it his song? Well, I think it was probably the time that he did a lot of... People did a lot of the same songs. Oh, right.

Yeah. This is his. Wow. This one's come through a few times on the same song. Oh, right. This is his. Wow. This one's come through a few times on the, I'm not familiar with the show, but the Hills. It was Natasha Bedingfield unwritten. Oh, it comes through a lot on 4487. It's a great song, isn't it? Great for her.

She's a Kiwi. Yeah. It's a great song. And this one, Ben, you'll know. This is an oldie, but a goldie. Sunday, Monday, happy days. Tuesday, Wednesday, happy days. Tuesday, Wednesday, happy days. Do you remember, Megan, do you remember happy days?

I know of it, but I just didn't want to. I interviewed him, Henry Winkler, who was the Fonz. He couldn't ride a motorbike. The whole thing was, he was like, they put me on the back of a trailer and they drove me around. He's like, I've never ridden a motorbike. He's like, yeah, I look cool, but I've never ridden a motorbike. He couldn't do it.
