This John O'Bien podcast, hey that's us, brought to you by HelloFresh, the experts and tastes that Kiwis love. Memo. Screwed up the timing. So do it again. Memo. You're welcome to You're the Voice Memo. It's our summer series of podcasts where it's the new year and we've decided to, you know, one of those things you need to do, the admin things, to clear space on your phone.

It's a problem. It's a first world problem, but it's a problem nonetheless. Now, I do wonder too if other people that aren't in radio have this problem where they're clogging up their voice memos because I feel like it's a great tool for the radio announcer that you can just pull out your phone, you can record at any time. But if I wasn't in this game, would I be using the voice memo? I don't think so.

No, it's more so your photos and songs and other things, videos that sort of clog up your phone for other people. But for us, it's voice memos, voice recordings. Random bits of annoying filler radio. So we're going to clear these out one by one, and we each bring a piece of audio to the podcast. Now, Megan, would you like to start today? I can start.

Okay. We'll get your thing and we'll plug it in the old dongy. The old dongle. Which bit do you want? Your choice. We're trying to do a few of these, so just pick one. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Oh, I'm nervous you're nervous

about this one do you want any set up any context or do we just hear it that's from 2012 which is actually not the oldest

I've got some right back to 2010 like I've literally never gone back and deleted oh that's nice it's a great little audio history book

that you know you get to the end of your life and you can go oh I can take it all the way back to money 20. Yeah. Well, this is probably what the podcast is for us. You can go back and listen to old podcasts as well.

This is just like a long one from 2012. Okay. Don't read the questions, Andrew. All right. I am currently in, whose bedroom is this? Jordy's and Shaq's room. I'm lying on the bed with six boys around me. We're all snuggling up.

We are snuggling up. This is quite intimate. So can we just stop that right there, one second. So what the heck is going on here? Is this what I think it is? Is this when your now husband, Andrew, was in a boy band? That would have been one of the first interviews I did with him. And you decided to be lounging in a bed. Well no

they'd stitch me up because they're all attractive young men so they made me go by myself to the hotel and conduct the interview on the bed and they all sat around me. This is a different time. You'd be taking this back and cancelling your husband.

Thankfully he's your husband. They wanted to see how awkward I sounded. Now keep in mind one of these boys is now my husband. Thankfully he's your husband. They wanted to see how awkward I sounded. Now, keep in mind, one of these boys is now my husband. Yeah. Keep in mind, boys is probably the worst word I've heard at the time. How old are they, like 12? No, it was like 19.

Oh, 19. Okay. I'm lounging here with six 12-year-olds on a bed. Also, I wasn't 40. I was a lot younger. True, true. I'm imagining now, yeah, okay. Okay, all right. Also, I wasn't 40. I was a lot younger. True, true. I'm imagining now, but yeah, okay.

All right. I think I'm going to sound horrendously awkward. Shall we continue on listening to whatever this horny interview is? I'm so sorry for what's about to transpire. This is because

I have been sent to ask some intimate questions that girls want to know, okay? Okay? Okay? Oh, they like that. They like that.

Here we go. So don't all answer at once. All right. I feel like someone's going to come in and take photos of something. All right. Okay, I'm flustered. Okay. Question number one.

Pull yourself together. I know, right? I'm flustered. Okay. Question number one. Pull yourself together. I know, right? I'm so embarrassed. You're a professional. You're a professional.

We'll edit all this out. One. Relationship status. Who has girlfriends? Me. Me. Not me. Okay.

Not Zach. Not Hayden. And not Andrew. Oh. Not Zach. Not Hayden. And not Andrew. Oh, not Andrew. This is like one of those Instagram things. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. And this is the moment, you know, that flashes back. Did you like him at this point?

You knew his name. You already said his name first. You're like, stop reading the questions, Andrew. Yes, he was very flirty. So he was like, I knew who he was. There were sparks. There were sparks between you. Okay.

Are you single at this time? No. Oh, you're not. What a shame. What a shame. Is your current partner going, why are you in bed with six boys? Probably. They made me do it for radio.

They made me flirt. What is the first thing you notice about a girl? Oh, Jesus. Who wants to talk? Smile. Her eyes and smile. Smile. It was Andrew.

Overall attractiveness. And that's what he found in you? Yeah. That's what he found in you. Do you want us to stop? We can stop playing this. No, you choose. How much more is it? That's what he found in you? Do you want us to stop? We can stop playing this? No, you choose. How much more is it?

It's like a 20 minute deal. Are these guys about to ruin it? Now, when does it end up? Does everyone leave the room? No, the questions get quite full on. It's like Love Island. This is a different radio station. Okay, okay.

What is your age limit? JJ asked me to ask this. Would you go for a cougar? What is the top age you would go for? JJ asked me. JJ. Buddy JJ with those cougar questions. Well, I want to hear the answer to this.

JJ Feeney. So bearing in mind this is how long ago for you? Is it like 12, 13 years ago? Okay, so you're looking towards the end of your 20s maybe? Is it roughly? Yeah. Okay. You're not cougar status? Okay, so you're looking towards the end of your 20s maybe? Is it roughly? Yeah. Okay. You're not cougar status.

No, thank you. Yeah. Sorry, JJ, probably like 20, 21. It really depends. If she's a lovely girl, then 25. Yeah, 25. Really? I'd go like 40.

I don't care. Legend. He's saying 40 like it's a geriatric. I'm 43. Yeah, exactly. Who manscapes? Well, obviously. Yep.

Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed. No. Oh, what do you mean by manscape? She's never asked us if we manscape. She's never asked us. She's asked these guys. I like to think you're like Ken. Yeah, pretty much. She's asked these guys. I like to think you're like Ken. Yeah, pretty much.

He's no genitals. Ambiguous. Trim your body hair. I manscape. This is so embarrassing. Yeah, Megan, do you womanscape? Of course. There you go, Megan.

Thank you for diving deep into your voice memo. Does that mean I can delete that? Yeah, clearing up some space. You can delete that now. Well done. Well, it served its purpose. You did a great radio interview. Did I?

Well, awkward. At the time, you were making content for the audience. Yeah. You know, you're just doing your job. All right, John, what have you got? Okay, I'll plug in here. Okay, yeah. So this is my son, Oscar, very young, Oscar.

And we've just been to the Ripley's Believe It or Not in the Gold Coast. Oh, yeah. Wonderful tourist attraction. And I've said this to you before, Ben, my issue is they ask you, do you believe it or not? And 100% of the time I'm like, well, I believe it. Otherwise, you wouldn't go to the cost of manufacturing a statue and a whole display

for something that's not real. Yeah. So this was his takeaway. I'll probably in my second. Tell something that's not real. So this was his takeaway. Tell me about Ripley's. Okay, so there was this man who was fused with his twin in his mother's tummy. So he got three legs, four feet

and 16 toes and two penises. Two of them? Yeah. And four bum cheeks. Two penises, four bum cheeks. It's hard to believe though, isn't it? Hard to believe, but believe it. Believe it. Believe it, yeah. Or not.

Believe it or not. Shall we do some fact checking on this guy? Did he think that was cool? Yeah. He was just really, they were honestly just both so obsessed with the, we bought the book, and that was like their favourite night time reading. Just all these people in in the uh you know people with 900 piercings in their face and things like that that's how i'm just going to double check to see if two penises be

a blessing or a curse curse absolutely curse yeah you think so right sure you would appreciate having another one okay oh i don't know mate yeah and do you it work? Is it one on top of each other or next to each other? If one's feeling sad, do you use the other one? Or he's having a bad day? I don't know how that works, actually. Are they both identical or are they different? That one's better. The right one's a lot better.

You're like the kids. You love one just a little bit more. And four bum tricks are nightmare. You love the kids You love one just a little bit more And for Bumtrex a nightmare You'd be mowing through the toot paper Yeah you would be Wouldn't you Yeah And does that like alternate When you go or

Yeah I do not know how this works Do they both go at once Believe it or not Two Does it split the load Do you know what I mean Yeah Oh you know believe that Believe? Yeah. Oh, you know, believe that.

Believe that it happened. Really? Yeah. Yeah, crazy. So Ripley had two peepees and one bum. Four bums. Yeah, not Ripley himself. Ripley was... Ripley's the curator of all these... all of these freaks.

I thought you were saying that Ripley did. No, no, no, no. Ripley, he was like... He was like that, what's the greatest showman? Petey Barnett. He was collecting them. You, the lady with the beard, you're on tour. You're on, you're in the group.

The Simon Cowell sort of people that go around. I know, and they made him seem like this great dude and the greatest showman, but I think historically, I don't think he was. Oh, he's not. He was like collecting like, you know um people that and kind of using them yeah right and a lot of animal sort of stuff i'm sure at the time too which were part of the circuses back then different time a different time much like that titanium interview different time

titanium they were kind of like the greatest showman competition weren't they i was gonna go a kid one but i won't now i'll save that one for tomorrow oh sorry no no don't be sorry because there's plenty more of these i'm gonna go i think you've heard this before but i'll just go because it's one of the um one of the oldest ones before my first time using a bidet uh in japan now picture this very small small hotel in Japan. My family all outside, weirdly, as I'm talking to myself. Trying to be quiet in the bathroom, but also at the same time using a bidet for the first time

and wanting to experience it. Okay, I'd love to hear this and then get your honest feedback of the system. Okay, so here we go. I think this is it. Okay, I'm in the bathroom in Japan and there is a lot of options to choose from on the toilet. There's a button that says privacy.

So that sort of disguises things. Oh, right, noises. Sort of noise to give you a bit of privacy. There's like two different flush buttons, some buttons that look like either they're going to shoot someone out of the toilet or maybe water towards your bottom. Wish me luck. I'm going to push one of them to see if it'll wash my derriere.

You're not trying to be like David Attenborough. No. Nothing so far. Waiting. Just making some noise There you go There you go Your voice goes a bit higher

There you go A little surprise It just sort of gets you You're waiting for it Isn't it weird Us playing while you're Getting a squirt up the bum Playing the audio

You can definitely hear The moment of impact You definitely can. So I recommend it. I recommend it. I think there should be more of a thing here, you know? I bet you do. I reckon it offers a far more cleaner experience.

Even old mate with the four butt cheeks or whatever. He'd need a B-day. Yeah, wouldn't he? He'd be loving it, you know? I don't know why we haven't got them here. It's not, I mean, I'm sure you can get them here, but very rare, you know? Well, I grew up with one, but we never used it. Yeah.

Oh, didn't you? Yeah, it was separate though. Not that, yours was on the toilet, right? That was on the toilet, yeah. But some of them separate. We've crossed them for the washing station. I know, I never understood. Like, okay, I'm done.

I'm going to scoot over to the next one. Here we go. Squat and walk at the same time. And, like, mum's one always was filled with plants soaking. Oh, so they never really used it either. No. Did she use it for plant growth? Did she do B-Day?

Changed it to, like, a bucket. Didn't you have an idea that we'd do a happy B-Day? And so if it was your birthday, every listener gets a B-Day for their birthday. Happy B-Day to you. Yeah. And we're giving everyone a B-Day. Yeah. But, no, it didn't work out. Happy B-Day to you. Yeah. And we're giving everyone a B-Day. Yeah. But no, it didn't work out. No one really.

I mean. Yeah. I don't imagine the B-Day manufacturer has 365 B-Days to go with. No. Every day. It's a big commitment. How's the business going? Oh, well, it's going all right.

I've sold none, but I gave away over 300 B-Days. Yeah, it's quite a lot. So there we go. I can delete that. We can all delete some, clear up some space on our phones. Maybe you've missed your calling. You need to do like a discount code and

influencer for your bidets. Influencer, yeah. Use Ben20. Ben20 to get 10% off your bidet purchase. Just want me 20% off. 20%, or whatever. I'll work on the deal later, Megan. And that's how this works.

We'll be back tomorrow clearing more messages off our voice recordings on our phone. Memo. Guys, if we're doing this, we've got to be all in together. We didn't know we were doing it at the end.

Here we go. Memo.
