The Jono, Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to HelloFresh, your home advantage for delicious midweek dinners everyone will love. Welcome to the podcast, Megan. I see you're listening to Alex Warren live. At the American Music Awards. How's it going? You keep playing. Hold it up to the speaker so we can hear it live. He did a great job. It's a good song. What was he? Is he a TikTok star? Yeah, I think a YouTuber.

TikTok star, yeah, as well. Now a huge... I kind of love it when social media people come out with real awesome talents. It's like, yeah, ha-ha, see? Influencers have credit and talent. It's a skill to do it. It's one of those things, the influencing, that I think looks really easy. But there's a lot of work that obviously goes into it.

It's like a full-time job if you do it properly. I don't understand how influencers get a bad rap when people have been making ads for years. Like, it's just making an ad. You love complaining, don't you? Yeah, they love it. They've got an easy platform to complain on now. Back in the day, it took you a while. You had to write a letter.

You had to go to an authority. They had to, you know. Find their address. You really had to be rolled up about something. Yeah, it's all through that process. You're like, am I still angry?

All right, find a stamp. Nowadays, you can just be having a bad day and make your favourite celebrity feel like a piece of shit. Yeah, true. Yeah. Going through all that trouble,

sending it away, waiting for them to get that message hoping they're going to, yeah. Yeah, like by the time you actually got any feedback on it, you probably forgot how angry you were about the initial. It used to be the phone log when we used to work at TV3. So people would make phone complaints.

They'd phone reception, but then legally reception would have to document. They'd log all the complaints. It used to be a public thing within the company you could see. Jeez, they were funny ones. So when your show was on, how many complaints were coming through on the phone? Oh, lots. Yeah, it was a thing to go, oh, how many complaints? But then people would ring up, you know. So when your show was on, how many complaints were coming through on the phone? Oh, lots. Yeah, it was a thing to go, oh, how many complaints? But then people would ring up, you know, John Campbell said

eruption, but it sounded like erection. Well, you know what he said, didn't you? Well, he didn't say eruption. Mike's tie, Mike McRobert's tie doesn't suit his eyes tonight. You're like, guys, you need to get outside. Well, they're still doing it. They're just doing it on Facebook and stuff.

Hilary Barry's got her shoulders out. She's naked. Too much shoulder for primetime television. Yeah, no, so that was a funny read, wasn't it? That cool log. Yeah, it was. The stuff that annoys people.

Yeah. But does it really? No. Does the person who complained about an eruption or erection, are they like, damn, glad I closed that case. Yeah, I can move on with my life now. Actually, we can move on with the podcast. What are we starting with right now? Oh, the fridge stuff. Oh, yeah, that's really interesting.

What people are keeping in the fridge. Because apparently it acts as like a dehydrator, which I would have thought it added moisture, but no. John O'Byrne and Megan. The podcast. The hits moisture But no Oh Megan you must share Well you've just started Recently started storing in the fridge Yeah so a friend of ours Jenna

She has started Well She fed my husband Some chips That had been stored in the freezer Okay Cold chips I mean in the fridge

So like cold crisps Yeah Not hot chips. And they were crispy. And she swears by this. She stores potato chips, Doritos, packets of biscuits.

Things that you would put in containers and keep in like a dry place. She puts them in the fridge and they stay crispy. This could be the ultimate life hack. Yeah. Nothing frustrates me more in our household than going into a half open,

you know, already empty pack of Tim Tams, biting into, and they're stale and soft. Yeah. Or the Hudson cookie bear ones. And I'm like, just do it on the back.

Just do it on the back. And I had the same conversation every time. But this could be the ultimate. Yeah. And a great hiding place too for the biscuits. Oh yeah, put it in the veggie Yeah. And a great hiding place, too, for the biscuits. Oh, yeah, put it in the veggie drawer. I thought Doritos and that would get soggy in the fridge.

So did I. I haven't tried the biscuits, but then one of my other friends stores her chocolate biscuits in the fridge. Now, they aren't sealing them up. You know how you open a packet and you just slide the tray back in? Just sliding the tray back in, straight in the fridge. And they stay crispy. Okay. Wow. Listen, we're going to shut this open.

What have you got stored in your fridge at the moment? Producer Ellie, can you come in here and share what... We're starting with this. We're going to start with it. What Producer Ellie has in her fridge. I feel like after this, no one can compete with this. This is why she's leaving us, because she divulges too much. Sorry, hello. Somehow I'm always here talking about the old backside.

But in my fridge currently, I've got... High content of butt stuff, isn't it? Yes, I've got a portable bidet. And also in my fridge are some anus suppositories, because I'm prone to the hemorrhoids every now and then, if you know what I mean. Yeah. So you keep it in the fridge, what, last longer? Well, it's because it melts at body temperature

because, you know, you put it in the old area. So it can melt in a normal room temperature. So you've got to keep it in the fridge and then it goes straight in the body and then it melts. Okay, so what's the most unusual thing that you've got in the fridge? Now, can you beat that? Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast.

The hits. You keep inside your fridge and we need to talk about your mum. She had for many years what, Megan? So I was younger when I looked in the little flappy, lifty-uppy bits at the top. No, you like the flappy bits. You put some random items in that part of the fridge today. Sometimes I forget about them. Yeah, I like the flappy bits. You put some random items in that part of the fridge today. Sometimes I forget about them.

Yeah, like miniature jars of jams and things that you get from motels. My parents have filled that with chocolate that they donate. Some of it's from 2007. It's old and white. But then behind all this random chocolate was these little plants in a bag

and I was like, what is this? What is this? And mum's like oh, someone we know that we no longer associate with, had left them there she's like, I'm just storing it for Johnny, shall we say Oh really? But Johnny might not

be coming back to collect the stuff Johnny didn't come back to collect it It was just some weed in the fridge Refrigerated relaxation lettuce. I don't even know if that's where you, like, are supposed to store it. I don't think my mum. It was with the chocolate.

I don't know if that was a coincidence. And she fears it was not hers. The less questions to probe, the better on that one. It's not there anymore. You found some in a fridge in America. In America, yeah. So that was, yeah, very scary situation

when you're in America and you find a whole lot too. You're like, whose is this and whose room and they're coming back for it. Maybe that's the best way to consume it. At four degrees,

you know, chilled. But also it's like legal over there. You could have been in the right. It wasn't at the same, it wasn't at that time. But yeah, it is now, right? Yeah. He's got a very elaborate story

with that one. I've backed him up through the years. All right, now chips, a popular storage item, has come through from you, Megan, too. You can put your potato chips in the fridge and keep them crispy. Now, Caroline, backing this claim up. I am. I have been doing this for so long,

and I've been telling people, and they boo-hoo me all the time and I also think that it makes the flavour go more intense as well. So now after hearing Megan broadcast this on Nationwide Radio, do you feel validated? Do you feel heard? I really do. I had to ring because I really do. I'm backing you up

Caroline, it's 100%. Haven't tried the Bickies though. What about biscuits? Do you put them in the fridge? I do sometimes, but they make them go quite hard. I like my chocolate soft. We have to get our bread in the fridge for the fact that the cat, he just gets into it. On the bench, if you leave bread

out on the bench, he jumps on, eats through the bag, gets some bread out as well. Honestly, it happens all the time. We have to keep the bread in the fridge, which does make it last longer, but yeah, for that reason. It does. It does. Yeah, it does make bread last longer.

Caroline, well, there you go, a refrigerated chip backer. Thank you so much for your time. No worries. Thank you for validating me. Got you. Charlene, good morning to you. The strangest thing in your fridge? Well, it was in my last job

and I had to take the sample to work with me and it had to go in the fridge. It had to be kept chilled. And it was a sample of one of our sheep's feces because it was being tested for worms and the worms were fatal to sheep. And so I carefully wrapped it up and I put it in the fridge at work. However, someone got a whiff of it and it did not go down very well.

I know, I can see why your colleagues would be miffed that you put a sheep stool in the fridge. There's a rule, no tuna and no sheep poo. I didn't know about the sheep poo one, I knew about the tuna. In fact, anyway, it didn't go down very well but this was also culturally as well so it really did overlap some barriers and when I left

that job when we had my farewell that was brought up about how I put that in the fridge I'll never do it again One and done That was a crime upon the communal work fridge there, Charlene. Especially when it's got fatal worms in it. Yeah, yeah, no.

What were you thinking? In hindsight, never again. Hey, good lesson for us all to know. It's good. Thank you for sharing that with us. If you're driving to work with your sheep sample now, turn around. Good on you, Charlene. Appreciate it.

Let's just end on one last text Which I don't think we can beat My mother-in-law put her dead cat In the fridge to preserve it Until my partner came around to bury it The fridge lost, sorry, waiting for it to be buried The fridge lost power And everything started to defrost Including the cat, it was a nightmare

It's a catastrophe That's nice of you Megan That played into our punny hearts Filled that pun bucket this morning mate It was a nightmare. It's a catastrophe. That's nice of you, Megan. That played into our punny hearts. Filled that pun bucket this morning, mate. Was it like next to the custard and things? I don't know. Yeah.

Not the perfect scenario. Oh, Megan. Sorry. Stop it. Stop it. I can't even think of one. I'm trying to. Next.

Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Coco Goff, tennis star. She's playing in the French Open right now, but she walked out centre court. She had a tennis bag with her, and she realised just before the game started, she didn't have her rackets.

She left them back at the hotel. I don't know where she's like. She blamed the coach. She's like, that's it. That's not on the coach. That is not on the coach. As a tennis player, you've got one rule. Just turn up with a racket. Yeah, there's not much more coach that is not on the coach as a tennis player you've got one rule just turn up with a racket

yeah there's not much more I think they provide the balls right everything else is looked after all you need to be there probably footwear and a racket that's probably all you need

and you probably don't really want to borrow another one like it's like us turning out to work and forgetting our mouths yeah true essential tool of the trade

and we're using our mouths at the moment to talk about what you've got in your fridge so it's like one of those topics where you're like god I was listening to the mouths at the moment to talk about what you've got in your fridge. It seems like one of those topics where you're like, God, I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about what you've got in the fridge. This is really interesting, what you keep in your fridge. It is, honestly.

Now, Shelly joins us. What's stored away in the fridge? My perfume. All of your perfume? All of my perfume. I've never heard of refrigerated perfume. Why is that? Because it stops it going off.

Years ago, I had an expensive bottle that went off, and then I can't remember who told me about it, but they put it in the fridge, and that's what I've done for years. I didn't know it went off. It'll be a nice spritzer, like, you know, in the summer on your skin. It'll be nice and cool. Yeah, there's that too. You can put it on the salad, a bit of salad dressing.

Yeah, maybe if you don't like people. Okay, yeah, I'm just looking at it right now. While they can last for a while, they don't maintain their original scent and quality forever. Factors like air, light, temperature can cause it to change its scent over time. So, yeah, you're right. It's a great place to keep it. It really is, and that's what I've done ever since then.

So you still walk up to the fridge, give yourself a little bit of a smack you go like it's a duty-free store or something yeah oh yeah that's nice yeah i will think i have room in our fridges for all of the stuff i know that's right yeah on the shelf on the side you know you've got about three or four in there people think it's a bit weird but but honestly, I've not had any go off. Three to five years longer, I reckon. Oh, wow. Just by the way, let's refrigerate our whole house. Just keep everything, probably ourselves, fresh as well inside. Hey, good on you, Stacey.

Appreciate that. Great life hack. You're great. Have a good day. Shelley, welcome. Morning, guys. What's in the fridge, Shelley? A piece of my elbow.

Oh, great. Okay's in the fridge, Shelley? A piece of my elbow. Oh, great. Okay, how? Why? So I broke my elbow, and when they replaced the piece that was broken, my elbow joint, they said to me, would you like to take it home, your piece of your elbow? I said, why not? So it's home in the fridge. Jeez, I've never heard of anyone breaking their elbow before.

What an awkward part of the body to break. Yeah, I fell down some steps and dislocated and broke the joint in my elbow. Oh, my God. And how big is it? Is it like well signposted that no one's going to mix it up for any other food in the fridge? Oh, it's in one of those, it's not massive, it's in one of those little jars with the yellow leaves. Do you look at it and you're like, jeez, we had some good times together? That elbow.

The memories. Yeah. The memories, yeah. At movie theatre, I put you down on while watching Titanic, that plane ride to Fiji, you know. I remember we were wrestling with that other person's elbow, but I won. Good on you, Shelley, appreciate it. You guys have a great day.

Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Funny moment yesterday. Irish people, jeez, they're so charming, aren't they? Yeah. Love the Irish. Very loud, though.

They're very loud. Unapologetically loud, the Irish, aren't they? But they're the kind of people who can get away with making a racket or a ruckus in public and you're like, oh, that's the Irish. We'll let them get away with it. No one will make complaints about that. We ran into a husband-wife couple yesterday, didn't we? Because Dilmar, the golden tea bag ticket, is out in the Dilmar boxes now.

You can win a trip to Sri Lanka. So we're in the gold suits. Doing some filming out and about for it. And they sort of came over and they, I guess they were tourists, I'm guessing. What's going on? Who are you guys? What's happening with the gold suits?

Because they're quite attractive. But yeah, attractive in the fact that they attract people towards us. They're very bright and shiny, yeah. Not attractive in like, you guys look sexy. No, definitely not. Whatever the opposite of sexy is. And she comes over and she's like, you know, top of the morning to you.

She didn't say that. She's like, what are you doing? We're like, oh, this is sort of explaining the backstory of where we'd been to Sri Lanka and whatnot. And she was like, oh, my father-in-law is from Sri Lanka. We're like, oh, that's a nice story. Anyway, she went away and she was a FaceTime caller in public. So she didn't even have earpods, earbuds in or headphones.

She was just raw dog in the FaceTime call. She came back and it was quite a lot of people around. No, no, it depends what's available. So I've got to put an orchid at every nook and cranny. So that was two charming Irish people having a conversation there. One Irish person on FaceTime, another... So then she finishes that FaceTime call. She FaceTimes her father-in-law in Sri Lanka.

Now, we're in a kind of a setting where there are other people sitting around having lunch and whatnot. Very quiet sort of setting, restaurant-y. And she comes home, she's like, It's my father-in-law on FaceTime in Sri Lanka. Which is cool because, you know, we'd just been to Sri Lanka, so I always want to have a conversation with those sort of people. Yeah.

He'd talk to him. We're like, oh, g'day, mate. And he's like, oh, hi. He didn't quite know why he was talking to us. We didn't know why we were talking to him. And then everyone was like looking. We'd made a scene. Yeah, well, because she was trying to explain the situation.

And you know when you have to speak, it's probably the same when you maybe speak to your parents. You know, you speak a little louder a little clearer we were just there yeah and then she's like he's got a rampant

gambling problem the whole restaurant's like oh okay just talking about Jono and I was like I told her in confidence about it but the Irish

they can get away with any of that can't they Jono, Ben and Megan the podcast the hits I'm older in confidence about it. She's still in the hall. I'm with the Irish. They can get away with any of that, can't they? John O, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Now, I'm really curious to know what this is all about because you've said to us, and you haven't told me what it is,

that your husband's doing something pedantic, neurotic, whatever the words you like to describe. You're like, even Ben wouldn't do this. Now, is this a compliment or a figure? Because you and him are quite similar, you know, to-do lists. I get sent off on a to-do list each day, which is so fun. Ben's got just his whole lounge wall is littered with to-do lists, like a crazed detective on a Netflix show.

Yeah. We have the one-touch rule at home now, which is driving me crazy. So as soon as you put something down, don't put it down. You are supposed to put it away straight away. Touch it once, get it away. I assume the one-touch rule doesn't apply to you. He hasn't touched you. He's touched you more than once.

No, I think the one-touch rule was put in place because of me. Right. But now I get if there's any shoes anywhere, he's like, hmm, one touch. I'm like, oh, good Lord. But there's something else he's doing. And he's been doing it for a long time, but it's kind of ramped up and it's really frustrating because it plays on something i hate doing phone calls so he now there's been a cottage

cheese shortage and i famously am eating probably two kgs of cottage cheese a week do lots of baking and different recipes with my cottage cheese famous the famous cottage cheese consumption of the cottage cheese that's why it's a, because someone's eating two kgs of it. No, everyone's getting into the cottage cheese. They've never sold that much before. They're like, what? Two kgs of cottage cheese, what a day. In different forms.

No, a week. A week. In different forms. But there's a shortage because everyone's getting into it. And Andrew has this thing where he likes to call every single establishment that we are going to go to and ask them before we go. So it could be something about the menu. It could be in terms of calling the supermarket and asking if they have cottage cheese before I go. I was like, I'm not doing that. Who calls

the supermarket? Does he do this? He told me. He was like, before you traipse around the city looking for your cottage cheese, just call them. Hey, I get it. I'll do that too. Who's calling the supermarket to be like, do you have cottage cheese on your shelf? They're like, come and look, mate. There's so many things here. Someone's got to go around. You're right.

We've got all the cheeses you want. Anytime we're trying to buy any kind of product, he will make me call them and ask if they've got it. What's he asking you about a menu from if he phones a restaurant? Sometimes if we are not eating something in particular, he'll be like, do you have this? Or I don't know, if we're going there specifically for a fancy croissant or something, he'll be like, have you run out? It's so embarrassing.

I know. I know. Calling first. Then does he say, hey, I was the guy that called you before? No. And what if you get there and then they've all sold out? The last cottage cheese is gone. He will ask for them to put it aside.

He will ask the supermarket to put a cottage cheese aside. That's full on, right? That is, yeah. If Ben's saying you're full on, you've got to check yourself. It's a little next level for me. However though, if you two ditched your you and Andrew ditched your disorganised wives, you'd run the most efficient

household in New Zealand, wouldn't you? I think me and Amanda need to go on a holiday together. People would walk into this pristine, sort of like surgical looking house and go wherever you put the bodies. John O'Bien and Megan. The podcast. The heads.

Thank you for hanging out with us. And now, you say afternoon, because I know you do this sometimes, Ben, is you look up a video on YouTube of some fitness person and they take you through a workout just do on your own with your body

yeah i got into it you know we couldn't go to the gym and you never equipment there's lots of things on youtube you know sometimes with no equipment needed sometimes with limited equipment it's quite a handy little thing there's like hotel workouts too yeah a lot of stuff which is good so i've stumbled across this guy this is is some exotic European fitness influencer. He looks like he's shirtless. Looks like his body's been carved out by Michelangelo. Very good looking guy. Perfect specimen of a human being. But he looks like he would exercise you and then make love to you for nine hours.

Burn more calories making love. But my issue with his workout, I've never met this guy before or watched any of his videos, is there was equal part working out but equal part technical issues going on with this video. Oh, really? And I don't know if he knows you can edit some stuff out or not, but here's some highlights. Just checking the timing on the camera.

Good. Because sometimes my camera stopped by itself so we want to make sure we it's recording right let's see my mic is coming off replace this Stay with me. Good. That's it. Trying to sort this out. The mic. It's coming off here.

At the back. Lovely. Let's give another check to the camera. Yep. Still recording. I guess you don't want to do a workout and then go damn it I didn't record any of that I know He's telling me stuff as a viewer

I can't do anything to help you mate Do some troubleshooting before you start your little routine Yeah I hope he had someone to assist him I hope that's who he's talking to He sounds beautiful What you're imagining is exactly what he is He just can't figure out how to use the camera properly.

But apart from that... Were you actually doing the exercise? No, I was getting distracted by the guy's bloody technical problems. He's like, do you want me to call IT for you? He just watched a video of this beautiful man. Yeah, same as working out, didn't he? I watched the workout video. Jono's been deep in an internet hole again.

Now, often we like to fact check that. Yesterday we had some information that he spouted off, then Megan looked into it and we're like, okay. It was about handbags that claim to be made in Italy and I was saying they're made in China. And the final, the loophole was that all the Italians have to do is attach a zip to it, then it could be called, labelled as made in Italy.

But apparently, some false news. Although it is a loophole in the EU law. It is. Some brands, there are still luxury brands that are handcrafted by people that are trained. You started spouting off names of brands and that's where I was like, don't start saying that because then you don't know.

Okay, so retract on that one. But here's a big banger. Okay? The US military defence force, also like the Pentagon. You always hear the word the Pentagon. Right, okay, so retract on that one. But here's a big banger, okay? The U.S. military defense force, also like the Pentagon, you always hear the word the Pentagon, I never actually knew what they did, but the Pentagon has a budget, millions and millions of dollars, to fund films that then essentially act as U.S. propaganda. So some of the biggest movies ever released, Top Gun, for example,

was funded, a huge part of it was funded by the Pentagon. The only, the prerequisite is you need to make America look like the good guy in all of these films. Yeah, right. And that's the, you know, the Russians, the baddies, the Americans come in with muscles and flamethrowers

and save the day sort of thing. I guess it makes a lot of sense. It's crazy. The Transformers. Oh, yeah. Giant robots fighting each other. Somehow. And also, it's not always money or budget they put towards it.

They can lend the aircraft carriers and all that sort of stuff and fighter jets and things like that for the films. But I was honestly like, wow. Where did you see it? TikTok. Don't worry, I checked the comments to make sure it's all legit.

Captain Marvel with Brie Larson funded by the Pentagon, mate. Well, I guess in a sense, I don't know if the New Zealand government does this, but they could fund some part of movies

that were filmed here because it does make New Zealand look good. We'll give you the bloody Morrinsville RSA to film in. Get out before 12, they've got housey. No, I was thinking more like a beautiful scenery, like Lord of the Rings and things like that. Not like, yeah, I'm sure they could find,

I mean, no disrespect to the Morrinsville RSA, I'm sure it's a wonderful place. We'll lend you our one gun. Yeah, no, again, no, just beautiful scenery. Yeah. I've done my own research, and some of what Jono said is false. Some of?

What? Which part? That is true. I checked the comments. So the Pentagon does not directly provide cash for movies, but it has funded, or it has provided assistance for the ones he's talking about. So Top Gun, Transformers, Iron Man, Captain Marvel,

Apollo 13, Armageddon. They provide military hardware. So like the tanks, the jets and stuff. And then they get approval of the script. So they're not funding it. They haven't got a movie budget. They don't give them cash. They have a movie budget. You don't know that.

They do. I wouldn't know though. It makes sense for them. Because you're like, That is the best form Of getting Pro-American Propaganda out there You can do it now By just giving

You want to learn To fight a jet Like Motown You want to film With a fighter jet One of our Trucks We're going to make it

Look good Make it look good In the script They're already being Accused of propaganda So they don't give them cash They just do You know

Hardware And Okay Some more Half truth information You've got to get them Off TikTok We need them Into vision so they don't give them cash. They just do, you know, hardware. Okay, some more half-truth information. Half-truth information. You've got to get them off TikTok. We need them in the kitchen. As I said the other day.

No, but they're still, you know, they're still helping Hollywood movies. Maybe that's what the segment could be called, Half-Truths with Jono. You figure out which part is the truth. Well, no, you should figure it out before talking about it, before, like, saying everything is fact. But amazing, though, isn't it?

Incredible. Yeah. Which part? Is it? Is it? Well, no But amazing though, isn't it? Incredible. Yeah. Is it? Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The heads. Heading into the long weekend, of course, this weekend, which is a great feeling and AMI's got your back. We've got

you covered this weekend. You can switch to AMI comprehensive car insurance and get roadside rescue for free. Only AMI will rescue you for free. But if you've got something, some issue going into the long weekend, maybe your car's broken down, we could rent one for you, or the kids are driving you crazy, you need the parents to come over and babysit you, you need some money towards that, then head to the hitstockco.nz and tell us how we could rescue

your long weekend, and on Friday, we're going to sort out someone's dilemma. Pretty cool. I completely forgot there was a long weekend. That was a huge surprise when you started talking about this on Monday. That was a great little present. Now, 20 minutes to go. If you just joined the show, good morning. Lovely to have you with us.

Continuing on the trend of me getting lost in TikTok holes and spouting half-truths. This morning's one was the Pentagon. The US Defence Force has a budget, billion-dollar budget, of money where they can put towards Hollywood films where they can perpetuate pro-American propaganda. Now, some of the movies that have, I'm claiming, been funded by the Pentagon,

Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Iron Man, G.I. Joe. You think of all those movies, the US are the heroes. They come out on top. Captain Marvel, Transformers, and Top Gun. So, Megan, you did some more digging into it. It's not untrue totally. They don't give them cash.

They give them hardware. So they have the fighter jets, the ships and everything. Personnel to kind of help, you know, show them how to operate it and stuff like that. They save the studios millions of dollars, but they're not giving how to operate it and stuff like that. So they save the studios millions of dollars but they're not giving them cash. And they do get script approval by the look of it as well

but from what our researchers said at the same time they don't have a movie budget. No, not a billion dollar budget. Fucking billions of dollars that he keeps saying. No cash.

And it's a good story. I messaged you off the radio. This is the thing. He's told me about this. I don't know how many other people he's told about this as well. All these people go. And the thing is, people are not going to believe us when the real good story, when the actual truth comes out.

They're not going to believe us. You'll ruin our credentials and credibility and blah, blah. Stuff it. There's so much stuff out there that is just, the world doesn't need it. We need more of this. We need more Jono, mate. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Yeah, thank you, G. Got the support of the people there. He messaged in and said, have you got an iron tanker, G, in your pocket? And do you eat rum and raisin ice cream? Rum and raisin. I love rum and raisin. Can we Rum and raisin. I love rum and raisin, isn't it? Can we play this song?

It is so epic. Yeah, all right. Should we chuck it in? Yeah, chuck it in. Yeah, I bloody love that song. G, do you want to hear the Top Gun song from Lady Gaga? Give it a good crank, brother. Let's do it.

All right. There it is. Gone rogue this morning. Funded by the Pentagon, this song. That's what I hear. It's from the movie Top Gun. Again, funded by the Pentagon That's what I hear It's from the movie Top Gun Again funded by the Pentagon It's on my head

He's turning it down He's not sure if it's our station or a different one What's winding up our Gen Z producer Grace She's back to get some trivial issues off her sarcastic chest So what is it this week And this winds up the people listening as well to get some trivial issues off her sarcastic chest. So what is it this week? And this winds up the people listening as well. You know that, right?

You take a hat on this every week and I appreciate you for doing this. Yeah, sorry, Grace. Turn my mic on. I am a youngest. I'm a youngest sister. So sassy. You're so sassy. I didn't do anything.

Sassy little sister. I didn't turn my mic on. My mic wasn't up. It's the attitude, isn't it? You can owe 800 the hits if you'd like to join in on what's winding up sassy little sister. Turn my mic on. My mic wasn't up. It's the attitude, isn't it? You can owe 800 the hits if you'd like to join in on what's winding up Gen Z producer Grace. What are we doing now? So this actually comes from an icon, Kris Jenner, getting a full facelift. Did you see that on the news?

She looks unrecognisable. Exactly. I wouldn't want a wall pass from the street. And I'd go, that looks like Kim Kardashian. Yeah, a lot of people Thought it was Kim On the first look Good on her She's got the money

Who cares Yeah fair enough But I come with a lot of empathy here You guys are just holding on To youth too much Move on You're old now I'm sick of it

So you're saying Age gracefully Yeah age gracefully I'm just sick of you guys Holding on to youth Okay well Remember this conversation In 20 years' time. We'll play it back to you.

If you're alive. And if we're still alive. You're alive? How are we not aging gracefully? Jono's got wrinkles. Yeah. He's just got no youth. Yesterday, I made a phone order to a pizza shop

and you had a crack at me for being too old and being a boomer. There's no winning with you. I know, but you're still holding on to your youth. You can be old. Just be older. Am I not allowed to wear heels? Yeah. Is it to do with clothing or to do with the search for trying to stay young?

Probably the search for trying to stay young. Okay. Kind of everything. Do better. Just the whole vibe. Okay. I won't have another hint. If you'd like to chime in on what's going on.

Can I lob one back to you? Your generation then, okay? All right, yeah. Capital letters. When did you start just dismissing these? Now, capital letters have done us proud for many years at the start. My daughters are the same. They'll put something up, like caption on Instagram, whatever it is,

and I'll be like, oh, you need a capital letter. That's a place name. And they're like, it looks better without the capital letter. Aesthetically. It looks better. I'm like, but it's not correct. It's not correct.

My name is spelled with a capital letter. You know, your name is spelled with a capital letter. Yeah, but it is correct because it looks nicer. So that's what they want.

But that's not the core foundation of grammar. How does it look nicer? It just looks like you're nicer. Nicer all together. But you're posting on social media. It's not an essay. Okay, guys,

it's just social posts and that looks nicer I'm backing the girls it's a text it comes through it's like where's the capital no no capital letters as well so yeah okay

so you think it just looks nice it also looks like there's been a mishap in education too when there's no capital letters so you're okay with that I'm with them I do think it looks nicer

Jono, Ben and Megan The Podcast The Hits it's a thing that she does and it frustrates me. We go to the movies, we went to movies a couple of days ago, and she will not eat any snacks, nothing at all, you know, if you get it. Popcorn, whatever it is, ice cream, until the movie starts. Oh, right.

This is a rule she's set for herself. Yeah, but it also inflicts, because you buy popcorn, it's expensive. You buy one popcorn and then, you and then she'll be holding it. I've now got to wait until the movie starts. Yeah, but then otherwise, like when you get an ice cream, otherwise you eat it all before, you know, during the trailer. Yeah, that's the joy. That's the joy of eating nine kgs of popcorn during all the trailers

and regretting it for 90 minutes during the movie. Yeah. It's noisy during the movie. Yeah, okay, sometimes it's nice to have a little snack while the movie's going, but I'm like, just, what is this? It's an unwritten rule. Does the popcorn be, because there's about 20 minutes of trailers sometimes.

Sometimes, depending how early you get there, right? Lukewarm, the popcorn would be lukewarm, the ice cream would be incredibly soft. Yeah, the ice cream starts melting. She's like, no. That's why it's a choc-top. The chocolate holds it in. Holds the ice cream in.

She's like, no, you've got to wait. We all have to wait around her. I'll go to the movies with Andy. You can have your cold popcorn together. So 0800, that's what we're going to chuck open this Wednesday morning, is what unwritten food rules have you set for yourself? A dear friend of ours, whenever he eats a meal, he separates all the foods out on the plate.

So if it's a roast meal, the peas, they stay in their own group. The meats, the potatoes, et cetera, et cetera. It's like apartheid for food. What happens if you get served something and it's all stacked on and mixed together? Yeah, like some sort of stir fry. It's meant to be eaten together. I've never dined with him in that situation. I've just watched him separate his food and he'll eat them one group

per time It's like some people when they get a burger and fries will eat all the fries first and before touching the burger right? Do they? Some people do Nah I go fries, burger, fries, burger, fries Sometimes you put the fries in the burger Have you done that?

Pancake's another one when you're making a pancake. You never serve the tester pancake. Well, it never looks as good as the other stuff because you're still trying to get the pan sorted. The dimensions. And plus it's like your tax if you're the chef, you get to eat the first one. That looks a little bit manky. So you never serve the first

pancake, you eat it, the tester. So these are the unwritten food rules that you've set for yourself. Maybe you scoop out all the contents of the mince and cheese pie and eat that first and then just eat the crust, like rip it out like an open-heart surgery and then eat the crust. Do you remember Mellow Puffs? You know, you used to have to crack them on your head?

That was a thing for a while. Yeah, but I used to, like, pick all the chocolate off. Yeah, you smack on your head and then you pick the chocolate off. Pull the marshmallow off. That was the bloody run-it-straight of the 90s. Oh, you smack on your head and then you pick the chocolate off. Pull the marshmallow off. That was the bloody run it straight of the 90s. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hat.

I was mentioning how my daughter, Indy, we go to the movies together and she's like, nope, no popcorn, no snacks, whatever you've got, you can't have it until the movie starts. Frustrates me. You buy the snacks for the movie. I know, but you're in the movie theatre. Yeah. You've just got to get in, you know. So many people smash it all and then the movie starts and you're like, eh. I know, but you're in the movie theatre. You've just got to get in there, no? So many people smash it all, and then the movie starts,

and you're like, oh. I know, and that's you do. You do your right. Your little popcorn's gone. Now, I see why she does it, but it also frustrates me. Do you end up, like, when it's so empty, do you end up eating the real hard little yellow bits of corn? Yeah, I quite like those.

Terrible for your teeth, however. So your unwritten food rules. Text 44870800800 They hit some great ones Coming through here James I eat the sausage roll But I nibble the pastry first Then you're just left

With the meat stick So to speak And so then that's how He consumes the sausage roll Yeah Me if I can chuck it In between two pieces Of tip top

Super thick Super white bread It's a meal for me Lasagna I'll put Whatever I've put a pie In between two pieces of tip-top, super thick, super white bread. It's a meal for me. Lasagna. I'll put, whatever, I've put a pie in between two pieces of bread before. Love it. It's already got its own casing. Doubling up on the casing.

Very secure. So, Daniela, our Italian correspondent, you've joined the topic, Daniela. What are you doing with sardines? Thank you. Good morning, guys. I need to take it off all the bones. That is impossible. Correct?

You take all the bones off the sardine. Yeah, it's impossible. Then I try one, two, and I put a little bite to my mouth and I spit it up again. Sorry, that's gross. First in the morning. And I take it off all the bones and I put it up in my mouth again. And after that, I give up. I'm not really Italian on sardines because I hate them too much.

I didn't even notice sardines head bones. I think you're just supposed to chomp through them. Tiny little, but yeah it feels like a lot of head bones. You'd be muntifying the little fish. It'd just be mush. What was that game when you had the tweezers?

Operation. I get it on the surgery table, yeah. Is it water on the knees? Okay, it feels like that's not really the meal for you. You know, if you need to go to all that trouble. I think that's the only things I don't like it. One only thing is because I'm very passionate about food, but not sardines.

Not sardines? Oh, you have a great day in Tauranga. I love to hear your voice again. You too, guys. Ciao. Ciao. Bye. Bye. See you, Daniela. I love to hear your voice again. Ciao. Ciao. Keep – Bye.

Bye. See you, Daniela. Let's go to Jess. Welcome. Your unwritten food rule. What have you got? Morning, guys. I eat my egg whites and then savour the egg yolk until last because it's the best part.

Oh, okay. And I don't waste any on my plate. Oh, so you eat around the yolk and then you eat the yolk at the I don't waste any on my plate. So you eat a round of the yolk and then you eat the yolk at the end? Yeah, and one mouthful. Balance it on your fork and chuck it in. Oh, that would give me a lot of anxiety watching you eat that egg.

Is this typically fried or poached or what? Well, it's going to still be runny, otherwise it's not a good egg. Either poached or fried. Yep, and all my friends or family look at me strangely. That's your thing. That's your unwritten rule.

Tackling the white parts of the egg first, leaving the yolk last. I love this text that's just come through. I take sandwiches to the movies. Annoys the missus, annoys the missus, but I'd rather have a nice ham and cheese sandwich than expensive popcorn I like that a nice ham and cheese Amanda welcome to the program

your unwritten food rules good morning I make toast so when I make toast I cut off a little corner and I put my butter on there and that's my first bite like a cheese bite and then I do the rest of the sandwich. Oh, so you do a little tester.

Yes, every single slice of toast I'll do that. I'll cut the corner off, put lots of butter on there and then I eat it like that. Just a little corner. I've never heard of anyone eating toast in stages. I don't know why I do that, but it's nice and warm, and then the butter just melts in it, and it's like a piece of cheese on there, but it's butter, and you eat it, and it's delicious.

But you could do that with a whole piece of toast. Yeah. Don't judge me. Don't judge me. By the time you eat the rest of your toast, it's cold. I see. Yeah, so it's nice and warm. Put that butter on, and it's delicious. That little corner

brings you so much joy. Someone's texted in here as well, I eat the bottom of the mellow puff first, the hard, and then tackle the top bit. I put tomato sauce on the hot dog before the mustard. Okay. Every time. Spaghetti and sausages from the can, never put it on the toast.

Oh yeah, toast goes soggy. Keep this coming through, but next. Jono, Ben and Megan. The Podcast. The Hits. Last night I went to a little function, you were there as well Jono, and it was sort of, it was running late for my daughter, she came along with me, she had netball practice, we had to whip home, get her a shower, and then we kind of got in the car and got down

to this thing. So we didn't have dinner, And this thing sort of finished about 8, 8.30 for us. And she was like, I'm so hungry. I'm like, okay, I'm hungry. In the middle of town of Auckland. And so I was like, well, let's find something to eat at that time of night. It wasn't heaps of places open. Yeah, I suppose you've got these restaurants and things, but it's not a restaurant situation. You're on the run.

You're on the run. And then saw the iconic, and if you've been to Auckland before, you'll know the White Lady. It's like a caravan, You're on the run. You're on the run. And then saw the iconic, and if you've been to Auckland before, you'll know the White Lady. It's like a caravan, a food caravan. A bus. Yeah, it's like a bus. It's been a sign that's like 1904 or something.

I wonder if it was started by a white lady. We call you the White Lady. The bus is white. I don't know why. You might be right. I'm glad she was in another race, otherwise it would probably be quite problematic in 2025. Yeah.

And I was like, oh, we could get a burger here. And the Sienna said, what's it like? I'm like, I've had it many times. It's great. And then I went. Yeah, Sienna won't have had it. No. Because generally, people only have it after a big night. Yeah, because it's right in town and amongst all the bars.

And it's open. And it's open. Yeah, it's open until late at night. And I was like, yeah. You probably can't even remember what it's like. No. And in my head, I'm like, it's amazing. But, it's open until late at night. And I was like, yeah. You probably can't even remember what it's like. No. And in my head, I'm like, it's amazing, but I've never had it sober. And last night, I hadn't had any drinks at all, so I'm stone cold sober.

I'm like, oh, this will be interesting. Something you do, you're like, I wonder if it's as good as it will be. I remember it would be when you've had maybe a couple of drinks. It's like going to a kebab shop. Yeah, I was going to say a sloppy kebab. Do you enjoy those as much sober? On a Wednesday lunchtime. I'd love to say kebab shop, are you? Yeah, I was going to say a sloppy kebab. Do you enjoy those as much sober? On a Wednesday lunchtime. I'd love to say it was terrible, whatever, you know, just for radio drama,

but it wasn't. It was great. I enjoyed it. And Sienna was like, that's great. I'm like, oh, that's good. It's just as good, you know, whether you've been drinking or not drinking. So it's great, the white lady. I had it sober many times because I used to do mid-dawns.

So you work midnight until 6 a.m. on the radio. And you do it live. Oh, God. Yeah, so my 6am was kind of my lunchtime. Yeah, gotcha. It was open, you know, so late. So that's what I'd have for breakfast at least three times a week. Cheeseburger and chips from the white lady.

At what, like 6am? 6am. Wow. And then I'd bring the breakfast host because Nick and Rog were hosting the Rock Breakfast Show at the time. And I'd bring them burgers and chips. and Rod were hosting the Rock Breakfast Show at the time and I'd bring them burgers and chips and they're like

it's breakfast this is the most inappropriate meal that's nice of you though it's very thoughtful I don't think I was even getting paid then either

I think I had to give the burger shop Nickelback CDs or something bartering yeah so there you go it was one of those things I haven't

experienced sober but it was good would recommend Crazy Moon though yeah last night it's a new moon Yeah so there you go It was one of those things That I haven't experienced Sober But it was good Would recommend Crazy moon though Yeah Last night It's a new moon Which

Because I looked into it Because I've spoken about this before A full moon makes Everyone a little heightened And on pick up yesterday When I picked up my kids There was seven kids Having meltdowns

Including two of mine The kids were just Emotionally unstable yesterday. So you blame this on the moon? Yeah. Well, I was like, there has to be some reason that they're all melting down. Even the teachers are like, what's going on here? Doesn't it put your waters out or something?

I don't know. We did a phone talk, I've got to watch. Yeah, and a lot of people agreed. And rest homes and hospitals and daycares, schools, they all reckon it affects everyone. All the patients and the residents, yeah. Apparently on a hospital on a full moon night, you don't want to be working. Wild stuff goes on.

So has it gone now, the moon, or is it still around tonight? Well, it was a new moon last night, so I don't know how it works. Yeah, maybe. Does it get like a little fingernail now? I don't know. Well, if Ben has a tantrum at 8.10 this morning, you'll know exactly why. Jono, Ben and Megan.
