The Jono Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to Dilma. Goodness really does taste great. Dilma, making the world a better team. I tell you who wouldn't be taking time off from working to go motor racing is Alex Warren. He would stay committed to his core responsibilities. That's right. I did ask. Thank you so much to our lovely boss who let me take time off to go racing last week.

Race cars. Hampton Downs. I stayed at the racetrack. I stayed at Hampton. and down, so one of the apartments, and it just has a balcony that looks out over the race track. So cool. That's pretty cool. It is pretty cool.

Why were your racing cars? Who knows? I was there. Thanks to Toyota. Can you race cars on the weekend? Really not? No, because it's busy with actual professionals. Formula One seems to do it on the weekend.

All right, but anyway. I was there thanks to Toyota and Gazoo Racing. So, GR racing, they've got some new cars coming out and they've got parts, a lot of stuff happening. So we got to test something to someone that sentence. We got to test the cars. I got to drive them fast on a racetrack. Even got told I had to slow down. But back to me staying at Hamptons, we had apartments.

And I managed to get one to myself. Are these on the racetrack, are they? Yes. Yeah. Oh, that's so cool, eh? Because some people have fancy cars that they leave there in garages. Oh, I see. And so then they just go and stay in the apartments and then race their cars around the track.

Just a nightmare of a rental too. I loved it. And so I had the apartment to myself. A lot of people had to share. I don't know how I wrangled that. But it probably would have been better if I shared. Because the first night, well, I was just there one night. We went out to dinner and then we all got chauffeured back to our rooms.

And that's when I realised I didn't have my swipe card. So just like in a hotel I had a swipe card to get into the apartment. and I had no idea where it was. Oh, yeah, I'd always lose the swipe cards. I sometimes take them from the motels and hotels. Yeah, we talked about this. I did return it to on Friday and Masters. Yeah, because they do want them back.

They do. They don't care about it, but apparently the hotel industry and the rental industry, they do care about their swipe cards, Megan. Yeah, so it's dark, and I have to then stop the car that's driving other people back and tell all the organisers. I had probably like 15 people searching for my swipers. You lost it in the car? I don't know where I lost it.

So it's not like a hotel we can go to reception. No. People who are tired, it's the end of the day teaching you how to drive a car. And everyone was so lovely to me, but I just knew. Everyone's like, oh, she's that person. So I was like, look, I never do this. I never drop. I always look after it.

You've been traveled with me. You're a shambles. You're a fiasco. Excuse me? To go traveling with. I never lose my car. Why am I fiasco? We're going to know that.

You've got to snag back to reception multiple times and got it. We don't follow you the whole time. So then they found it. We found the car. It was just on the ground. I dropped it on the way to dinner. And then the next morning we had to pack up all our stuff and meet outside to be driven over to the track. So I was like, I'm going to be super organised.

I got up. I was ready. And I was like, I'm going to start packing my car for later. But when I packed the car, the door shut behind me. Oh, God. You left the swipe card inside inside. inside. And inside was my phone,

my bags, my bags that weren't fully packed, and we had to go to the racetrack. And so I had to get the staff to contact the person who owned the apartment to get a separate swipe card to then go in and pack my bags for me. And then bring my phone to the racetrack so I could make some content. You know what they gave you a nickname, handbrake.

Yeah. You thought it was because you're doing handbrax in the car. It's because you spoiled the fun. You're like, oh, hambracks. You managed to ruin their day twice. I can't even say I never do this because I literally did it last night. I'm so sorry. John O'Benn and Megan.

The podcast. The Hats. Now you got fired a word in a conversation and you pretended to know what it meant. Well, yeah, I thought I did, but I had to, one of those moments I had to Google to double check. It went to netball. Both my daughters played netball over the weekend. And it was actually, yeah, they love netball and they've been playing it since they were young. But my daughter, Siena, my oldest daughter, she was like, going into games, she's like,

this might be my last never-neball game, which she's like, I love it, but, you know, she has a lot of other interests as well. And, you know, it's hard to fit everything in. So, you know, I thought as a parent, you know, you don't actually know sometimes where it's the last time you watch, you get doing something. So I was like, oh, going into it, I was like, oh, she might play again, but she might not. But she might not. It's like the A&Z premiership. They might do it. Might not.

A little bit like that as well. She's looking for a backer as she's in it. Such a great sport. But yeah, she's got a lot of other stuff on, so I understand. And were a bit sad driving to. I was a little bit sad. But then also we were, my wife and I were in the car park. We dropped her off and we're trying to find a park.

And my wife decided she wanted to park in the car park. Don't do that. It's a nightmare in that car park. And I say, but I just, and I refuse to do it. I'm like, we don't park here. It takes. Out on the road. Out on the road.

It's just like, walk further, but you don't have to wait in the car park. because it's so busy. Because everyone leaves at the same time out of one drop. Yeah, and my wife's a teacher as well. We're having a bit of a debate as well. I was like, it takes an hour to get out of the car park. This is what I said. She went hyperbole.

And I was like, and I had a moment when I was like, I think I know what a hyperbole is. Do I agree with this or disagree with it? Such a hyperbole. And I'm like, what does she mean by that? I was like, I think it's exaggeration, I think, but I had to like double check secretly on my phone.

phone go, is that what she meant by? I'm double-checking secretly now. Yeah, hyperbole is an exaggeration. You live in hyperboleys, Ben. And I was like afterwards, I wanted to bring back the conversation and go, well, it's close to an hour, but I don't know what to say. It kind of rambled me. Kevin now I've had 10 minutes to Google.

To be honest, when you said it takes an hour, in my mind, I was like, God, you exaggerate. That's what she saw. But she just used the technical term for her. Yes. Really threw me off the argument, too. In reality, it's a 10-minute wait. feels like an hour

It does feel like an hour Hyperbole Like oh I'd love doing that in an argument Using words that you know your partner doesn't know Really rattled me Really rattled me And I didn't know I had nothing else to say

Just sat in silence afterwards As we parked in there And it didn't take an hour to get out Took a while It felt like an hour But it didn't take quite an hour Someone said dichotomy to me The other day

And that threw me I like I didn't do a secret of the I was oh that I haven't in a real dig I'm having a real dig John O'Ben and Megan The podcast The hits And then Liam Lawson

We can't forget about him Overnight, how cool was that? Yeah, came seventh in the Red Bull car Which is a faster car than he's used to He got promoted into that car And held his own against Max Verstappen Which is awesome But how long did he have to learn that car

It was only a really short amount of time Right? Yeah, a couple of days A couple of days And he said everything about the car Is completely different So it's amazing My wife's in there

The seats up a little close Yeah, exactly like that. Just all those things. Wing mirrors. Pre sets of the radio are different. Those sort of things. Yeah, yeah, it's like driving with your knees up at the steering wheel. How did he connect to the Bluetooth in there?

It's always a nightmare, isn't it? Disabled the last person's Bluetooth. They're like, oh, this is not weird. And then the wipers in the indicator on the other side. Is this European or is this, you know, but it all. You always feel like such an idiot when you do the wrong indicator in the wipers go out. Yeah. But an amazing result for him, right?

Great result. Fingers crossed. He's still not. signed for next year. It doesn't have a seat. And anything? No, nowhere. So we're hoping.

We could drive you to work. You'd sign him up. I mean, I would love that. I don't think he would. So why are you frazzled this morning? You're coming all frazzled and looking like bloody Rizzo from Greece. Thanks. You're looking good.

I'm a black leather jacket. You look great. I was waiting for it. But I, no, I was watching the race and I fell asleep. And then I woke up, not anything to do with the race. I woke up and I was like, oh, God. It's 5 o'clock. And I'm still at home

Oh That is You did be able to tie a little like necktire Reddy neck this well too It's covering my hicky Like When I'm running late I'm not adding a necktie

No I was already I was already dressed I was already dressed I was really prepared You know what Until the night I'm an hour late But hold on

I'll just I'm nice A leg tie Yeah I was like wow that's really Maybe that's what made you late It looks great Don't get this wrong.

It does. It does. It's like a silk sort of scarf wrapped around your neck. Did you need those minutes in your morning? Who knows? Who are we just saying? John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast.

That's last week of winter. Oh, almost at the tail end of it. It's pretty exciting, right? Yeah, I think it's three weeks until daylight saving too. Yeah. All my official countdowns. All of a sudden, like, you just notice, you're like, oh, it's five o'clock and you can still see stuff. Yeah.

You know, it's great, doesn't it? It makes you feel good about life. Now, I don't know. if you guys noticed, but last week before we went away to Marsden for the world's shortest parade, I was like, well, better tidy myself up for this historic occasion. Yeah, gotcha. Now, I usually just shave my own head,

but my clippers of summer, they're many years old now, and they've kind of resorted from shaving to almost just like ripping hair out. Yeah. They've decided they're getting quite of aggressive. It's an aggressive approach. So, yeah, even when you like shave your beard,

it's like yanking the hairs outside. And I don't know if I... Wax it. Couldn't put myself through that. torture again. So I was like, well, we're pressed for time as we're heading to the airport. I'll go to a barber. Okay. Oh. Treat myself. Had it been to a barber for years. What happens when you walk in the door for the barber? They're like, oh, they're like, oh, when you're like, oh, yeah, sure, you know, so they're doing a little bit like, is he coming for parking

advice or something around here? What's he here for? What does he need shave? So I sat in the seat and, hey it was a really quick process. You know, with me, it's just put the automatic lawnmower on over it and just go, they could probably shut his eyes to it. I felt like he was trying to elongate the experience out for me, so I felt like I got my money. Oh, that's good.

How long do you think you were in the chair? Oh, 10 minutes. Oh, you didn't get like a hot face cloth or anything? No, it could have been done in five. Could have been done in, yeah. But purely when I'm doing it, I'm just going off feel for the back of my head. Yeah.

Okay. Now, again, appreciate him making me feel at home in the barbershop. He then does that ritual where he holds up a mirror and puts it behind my head. And he's like, and I'm like, well,

I don't know what I'm basing this off. Like, I haven't seen the back of my head. I don't even know what it's meant to look like. Oh, is that what it looks like? I feel like that's for me is like when they get me to try the wine at the restaurant. I'm never going to go, oh, no, no. Can you put some back on there?

Yeah, send that back. You know, like, that way it was like, it's nice they do that, but I'm like, yeah. So much you can do at that point. Yeah. Especially for you guys, like it's just short. Like, I don't know. I guess for you, when you're getting it done,

you're like, oh, can you take a bit more off or whatever. Yeah, or if there's layers or a special style or something, or colours, you're like, oh, it looks nice. It feels like we could say, from the male's point of view, you really could save that whole thing and just, let's just nip it in the butt, you know? It's unnecessary, pointless. You just give it a hand rub and you're like, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's good. You're a nod away and you, yeah, that's one of those. He could have shaved genitals into the back of my head, and I would have gone out of that, I guess that's what I've been doing this whole time. I agree. John O'Bennon and Megan, the podcast. The Hats.

So, you know, we're looking for a bigger bed for my son. He's kind of outgrowing his thing. Oh, right. For the last 12 months, but I'm going to get your new bed. He's like, you've been saying that for a year. Poor kids' feet are hanging over the end. How does his bed relate to a fruit bowl? Oh, because we went to a furniture store.

We went to a furniture store. Okay, got you. So, you know, you're run-of-the-mill sort of standard furniture shop. And then on the counter of where transactions take place, big bowl of fruit. Now I hope this doesn't fall into racial stereotypes But there were some European backpackers in them And I know that because they look sort of Swedish

And just Europe They just exuded Europe And I did see them get out of a camper van out in the car park So they're obviously looking for some stuff for their travels Gotcha Now he's up there Backpacker number one is up at the counter He's picked an apple out of the fruit bolt

And I mean there's nothing wrong with that That's like it looks like the fruits on What kind of furniture store has a fruit bowl account? Like, where were you? It wasn't like a no leming. It was a smaller... Yeah, I'd like help yourself as some fruit while you're browsing. And so he's picked the juiciest looking green apple.

And he's put... He's going to put in his mouth now behind the counter. The lady's going, no! And he's ended up putting the apple in his mouth. And she's gone, it's a display fruit bowl. Plastic fruit. And this poor backbread's got the green apple sort of, you know how you're shoving apple in a pig's mouth,

just kind of sitting there. And I could tell he's like, it was an international language of, why would you do that? Why would you have plastic fruit? God, it must have been legit looking. Yeah, it was, yeah. It was son of,

plastic fruit was pretty big in the 90s, wasn't it? It was, yeah. He didn't want the rotting banana look. Yeah. And the flies sort of get around the actual fruit bowl, don't they? But you're right, Megan, the fact that was in a furniture shop, he'd be like, you know, like, Hotel reception maybe

That's probably the time That you might find one of those Or a boozy Boozy, boosy shops are you Well I'm obviously on that boozy Because they can't afford real fruit No true actually Yeah you're right

Poor fella is a little throwing by that Was it polar starring Did he manage to get his teeth in And it sounded It sounded plasticie when he put it back Like a life But even from that In the shops defence

He should have known when he picked that up Yeah, yeah true actually Maybe Apple's way less here It's fruitball shocker, told you. John O'Benn and Megan The podcast. The Hits. We spoke about your going out driving last week around the racetrack.

Racing. Racing. Sorry, I was racing. It's all salty. I wasn't just driving. Sorry, mate. Well, you came back with a whole lot of advice while we were in the rental car. I went 160.

That's a lot. You were like, guys, I know so much about driving right now. No. I do that down the southern on the way home. Yeah, I was on a race train. John, I was on the road. No, okay, so I, you make me out to sound all arrogant. I was saying how great a time I had and that the guys there had taught me so much.

Ryan Wood was there driving with me and we had like a little seminar teaching us where to put our hands, the driving line. I tell you where you put your hands. If you put your hands on Ryan's pictorials. Is that where you put your hands? Actually, speaking of hands, you came back, you're like, guys, it's not 10 and 2. you need to hold the steering wheel. It's now 9 and 11, and we're all like, okay. And then we're like, hang on, 9 and 11, that means your hands are on.

Was that before or after dinner? Before dinner? Oh, was it? Yeah, 9 and 11, so both hands are to the, just to confirm to the left of the steering wheel, the top left of the steering wheel, that's who we have. How does that work? And then you're like, no, no, no, no, it's nine and three, nine and three. You're supposed to do.

Like, because I was always taught 10 and 2. We were all taught 10 and 2. And then when I had my little conference, my little seminar, they were teaching us to drive a race car. They were like nine and three as optimum. But you told us nine and eleven. I know. Well, that's also a number that we've heard many times.

Yeah, it does stick with you. It does. Do they teach you how to drive with your knees and check your cell phone at the same time as well when you're out on the racetrack? No. No, I don't do that. I definitely don't do that either. John O'Benn and Megan.

The podcast. She's up all night watching. It's, Hamila one. Liam Lawson. What is it? What is it? What is it? Insert, yeah, inset.

I was waiting to see where you're going to that. Idol? Idol? Do you idolize him? What do you do to him? What does you want to do? No, no, no. He came seventh though. He came seventh and a new car, so he got promoted into the Red Bull car, which is the senior team.

And when he was asked how the cars are different, he said everything is different. So he had a couple of days to warm up to that, and he did really well. So very cool stuff for Liam Lawson. Now on Friday we're in Masterton doing the parade and we, well, PJ from the hits in the afternoons with Maddie and PJ came along and on brand for PJ showed up after the parade had finished. All flustered.

I'm sorry guys, had two children in tow and came with her husband BJ as well. PJ and BJ probably one of the greatest couple names in New Zealand's history, I'll say. That was the first time I've met BJ in person. I like obviously know who he is. Rugged rural man. Yeah, and he's really.

tall he's quite buff you guys were like minute in comparison don't compare us to BJ we're just not in the same category manly big dude he would have put that arm inside an animal yeah and pulled out a you know a baby cow or something

carve I think they call them in the industry oh baby cow yeah oh it's a little baby cow so PJ we said oh we'll love to talk to you both on air about your relationship and how you met because that was that was what For some reason we were really stuck on that in the car.

We were like, how did they meet? None of us knew. We were very confused. Well, because she was in Melbourne. Yeah, she'd been a lot of time in cities, and he's obviously quite rural. So it was like, where did that? Connection happened.

We spent a lot of time talking about PJ. Yeah. We said, you know, I'd love to talk to you about this. And then PJ said, can we please not go live with BJ, my husband? I need to apologize for what he's about to say. And she didn't even know what he was about to say. Yeah, no. And we did.

And we won't believe the whole thing, but this was the end of it. where he said something in real... Well, anyway, yeah, have a listen. Never enjoyed the taste of lavender. Okay, okay. He was on fire. He was on fire. And she was right to apologize from him

before it even opened up his mouth. She was mortified. And I think she was kind of like I told you so. It's so horrific. We can't even play the whole thing this time of the morning. So this is what we wanted to get into. Are you having to constantly apologize

for your family members? Yeah. Do you have to apologise I suppose people would apologise for you and your family Do you? I feel like if you're not If you go do I Then you're probably the person That people are apologising for

I don't think I have to Well then you probably are that person Do you apologise for anyone in your fan Omeagan Both of my parents Are pretty inappropriate Ray Ray and Wayno Every time they come in the studio You're like I'm so sorry I'm so sorry

You like to put my mum live on the radio And that fills me with fear Every time I'm just like I don't know I don't know what's going to come out. It's like, when you put Kevin Boyce to your father on the radio, you're like, we don't go live. Oh, he's lovely. He's lovely.

He's harmless. He's not a live guy, though. Listen to his nervous life. Great in a pre-report. Yeah, but you're right. You don't know where he's going to go. So who is the person in your family you love to, well, you have to apologize for? John O'Benon and Megan, the podcast.

The Hats. Just talking about your family members and you're having to constantly apologize for them. with us on our 800. The hits. You always apologising for your family, Brooke? No, they're actually apologising for me. Oh, what are you doing? Well, it's just my husband, my mom and my dad are always prepping people before I arrive

because supposedly I have subtitles constantly on my face that are not talking, they're yelling, and I'm quite blunt in a sense of what needs to be said needs to be said. and I'm not afraid of not making friends but I'm also a colour compound specialist and educator for a hair industry and it's quite technical so whenever anyone asks me about hair my husband just looks at me and just goes

remember candy garden, hon, dumb it down a little bit Oh so he's so will he go into let's say you're going over to a barbecue at someone's house will he say wait in the car here I'll go in and warn everyone about you and just tell them what to expect No, Johnno, honestly, he gets out of the car and beelines for the party, so I'm left to get everything out so he can tell people. My wife's lovely, but seriously, just take it with a green assault. Don't worry about it.

You come with a disclaimer. So basically, do your emotions show on your face, basically, what you're feeling? 1,000%. Gotcha, okay. Yeah, I can't hide it. I can't. I quite often get nudged. and people say,

subtitles, turn them off. Oh, so that's the name of your facial expressions? Subtitles. Oh, I'm the opposite. I'm happy on the inside, bitchy face on the outside. I have a good resting bitch face, too. It's amazing.

Oh, that's good. Well, Brooke, hey, well, listen, you've delivered today. We didn't need a warning for you on the show, so thank you for phoning through. Thank you so much. You guys have the most amazing day. You too, mate.

Appreciate your call. Adele, you're apologising for your family members all the time. It's my kids. Oh, yeah. What do you have to say? What do you apologize for? I'm like, I'm sorry, my older son, he's just got no filter and he'll just tell someone how it is. Or he'll be like, you're so ugly.

Why are you dressed so ugly? And I'm like, oh, my God. Oh, no. All my youngest is like, because he's got nice blonde hair. And they'll be like, oh, he's a, oh, isn't she a beautiful girl? And I was like, he's a boy. And he's like, yeah, I'm a boy. I've got a penis.

We've said it before. The kids don't get the concept of awkwardness or an uncomfortable situation. They just plow on through it, doesn't they? Yeah. Hey, thanks for your call, Adel. You're going to have a great day. John O'Ben and Megan.

The podcast. The hits. On Friday, of course, we were in Masterton for the world's shortest parade to save my costumes, which is a lot of fun. A lot of people turned up, which was awesome. And then on the way out of Marston, there was a really special surprise as we were driving back to Palmerston North. They said, hey, we've got a surprise.

Just take her, go on this back gravel road, just take her right down this driveway. And you're like, is producer Troy and Grace? They've got nefarious reasons for this. Yeah, I was like, are we going to be frightened? We didn't know about this, didn't we? Yeah, it's cool. So we ended up in Mount Bruce area, Pukaha National Wildlife Center, which was awesome. And we got to see a baby Kiwi that was about nine days old.

Yeah, it was so cute. Made little noises. Fresh little Kiwi. Just wanted to put that Kiwi in my hoodie and take it home. But you couldn't, apparently. Yeah, that was really cool. It's amazing thing.

I remember going there as a kid through that area, and it's really great. There's amazing birds and the eels. We got to see the eels, and the eels are really impressive. These are some big eels. They were big eels. One of them was 80 years old.

It was huge. And I was like, but they were very proud and protected with their beautiful eels. They love their eels. Do you know, I reckon we need to extract whatever DNA the eels have. I couldn't tell the difference between a three-year-old eel and an 86-year-old ear. You know, they look magnificent.

Yeah, there was like no wrinkles. No wrinkles, they look beautiful. No grey hair. You couldn't tell you, you wouldn't be able to pick. No. Because they were all massive, well-fied eels. And then obviously there was a bit of eel banter going around. Well, yeah, so the people there at the Wildlife Centre were giving us a lovely talk about, you know,

how really interesting stuff about how they live in freshwater. They go out to the ocean for breeding and stuff as well. All the way to Tonga. Yeah. All their stuff as well, how they do so much for the ecosystem or all the nutrients. They were all lady eels that we saw because the male oils stay away because I was going to say wheel. The lady eels will eat them if they come to clouds. So we've got all this fascinating stuff and how important is people will go, oh, the eels can be misunderstood, right?

But they actually do so much for our rivers. Very important to the ecosystem. And this is really good. We're all like, oh wow, we're getting all the sexual stuff. And then Jono comes out of nowhere just said. And I can't say exactly what you say because I can't say on radio. Someone did mention it about how they do a death roll. They do like, and they'll death roll your genitals off, basically.

But he said it a lot more direct than that. That's all he said. And everyone just looked like, like he was like an eight-year-old kid that just bled out something. We were all like, did you just say that? No, I said anything. We're all stunned. And we looked at him like, why did he say that in front of it? And then you said, they will.

Well, they will. That's what I've heard. If you're swimming in a river, say you're skinny dipping in a river. You have to be skinny dipping, I think. And if the river's not cold and you're feeling relaxed down that region. And you're hanging out in the bank? Yeah. And the eel could feel threatened.

Bang, it latches on, death rolls it off. It was like, one of those moments, you're like, oh, yeah. Clean off. You wish there wasn't a jotto associated with us in the name of the show in that moment. Because you're like, cool, thanks your input, mate. And then she took a pause and went back into, like, how good they are for that ecosis and. system and stuff as well. I didn't know if they acknowledged my fact.

Do they go, yeah, it's true? No, I don't. 200 razor sharp teeth that face backwards. Boom, that'll come clean off. They did say they do death roll, yes. But I don't know if that's happened. That just feels like, yeah. So that was cool.

That was cool. That was a client where we were trying to win over. Producer Troy has done some good producing. You said fact check on the bottom of the run sheet. No, no, they don't death roll your bits off. It's never, no. no record of that ever happening to anyone ever in history.

They do not do it like crocodiles. Okay, so maybe you think about crocodiles. I'm glad you brought it up in that moment right there. Like just, no filter, no filter, just straight out with that. Serious chat about eels. Thank you. Well, thank you. I'm sorry, I brought shame upon the show there.

You are free to linger in the banks, naked in the rivers. We just sign them on as a client. I think we might have lost them. Thanks, so. We know who's faulted is. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast. The Hats.

a huge sporting weekend for New Zealand who mentioned before the All Blacks, the Black Ferns, the Warriors, Liam Lawson, all doing work really well. Cole Davis has come through on the Texan pretend as well over the weekend as well in the Motorcross series. So the world aren't to Kiwis, just they're killing it on the world stage. And we want to

continue the bragging. The other greatest achievements that New Zealanders managed to knock off over the weekend. And Peyton joins us. What was your achievement, Peyton? Hi, guys. Hi. Hi. What did you do over the, what did you

managed to achieve over the weekend, Payton? The confetti button on Alex Warren. So hang on. So you went to Alex Warren's concert in Christchurch. Yeah. And you got to go, what, do you get on stage with him? Yeah. No. Wow. How cool. Were you

close up to the front, were you, and he picked you out? We snuck around to the front. Oh, that's a good effort. And then there's a button that someone gets to push that rains confetti down on everyone, and he got you to push it? Yeah. He read my sign first.

Oh, what'd your sign say? You are in my fever joint. Oh, that's very cute. That's really good. That's really good. That's really good. That's so cool. That's so cool. Very good. And so he said, well, why don't you come on stage and then what did he say to you on stage, Peyton? He said, come up here, Peyton, and I pushed, and then he was singing, and then he pushed the button with me. Oh, well, now, producer Troy, this is some top-notch producing.

I don't know if you'll appreciate this patent at your age, but he's managed to get audio of this as we've been talking to you. So this is, I don't know what audio we're about to hear. This is part one of Peyton's Alex Warren experience. What is your name? Peyton. Peyton. Nice to meet you, Pey.

I can say that. You give you a birthday. Oh, ha. Well, happy birthday. How old did you turn? It was your birthday. Happy birthday, Peyton. You're confident, aren't you?

Talking to Alex Warren on stage in front of thousands of people, that's very cool. What was it like when you got to press the button and see the confetti? No, there's because, like, a thousand of people, like, just stealing at me. Yeah, it's a lot of eyeballs, isn't it? We've actually got the audio of when you did push the confetti cannon, too, Peyton. Have a listen. That's very, very cool. Well, well, done.

Very cool story to tell everyone at school today. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, don't you go? She's not going to school today, mate. It's a big weekend. Church weekend. Did you teach your only day. Oh, teach you only day, sorry.

I wasn't quite across your schedule, but that's all right. That's on me. That's on me, Peyton. That's on me. Did you get to have a photo with Alex Warren or anything afterwards? No. Oh, Alex. Mom would have got photos of you up on stage, though, right?

I've got one in my womb, though. Oh, nice. Good on you. Well, that's cool. One word to sum up your Alex Warren experience, Peyton. one word. Amazing. Amazing. Hey, it's been amazing talking to you. Well done.

Yeah, great work and lovely talking to you. Have a great day. Thank you so much. Have a nice day. Thank you, Peyton. See you, buddy. Bye. Enjoy Alex Warren. If you're heading along there tonight, he's in Auckland.
